Today marks a very special day for us. After all, it’s our 10-year Anniversary!
Miami Pet Concierge is a true labor of love. Passion guides me daily and pushes me forward to do my best. My hope was and has become the mission of MPC: To teach people how to be the best pet parents they can be. Today marks the day that my team and I have been succeeding and accomplishing that goal for 10 years.
On May 1, 2007, I opened the doors as a sole pet sitter intending to provide the best pet care possible to Miami-Dade residents. I can remember when I told friends, family, and colleagues about my plans it shocked many of them!
Just some things I heard…
“How are you going to support yourself”?
“I give it 6 months before you’ll be looking for a real job”.
“You’re too smart for this”!
In truth, I had a very lucrative career in the Entertainment Industry in Los Angeles. I had been a Development Executive for Aaron Spelling developing one-hour television series programs. Prior to that, I had worked for the William Morris Agency and Jerry Bruckheimer Television. I wanted to be a Writer.
Consequently, after spending countless hours volunteering at local shelters in Los Angeles during my downtime, I knew my love for pets was something I wanted to pursue and believed it would lead me into something new. I wasn’t sure exactly what.
Back In Miami
When I arrived back in Miami, I wanted to learn everything I could about pet care, our community, and the animal overpopulation problem in our county. Therefore I began working for the Humane Society of Greater Miami (HSGM) in Development, raising funds and planning their special events simultaneously helping open the Sofer Fine Adoption Center. During my three years at HSGM, I not only immersed myself regarding everything animals, in addition, I realized that there was a great need for pet care in our city. The numbers of animals who were being given up flabbergasted me because their parents could no longer provide the proper care for them. And so it began, I developed the concept of Miami Pet Concierge.
Within six months of opening the doors of MPC, I had my first employee. Today we are at 14 strong and growing every day.
I remember hearing if you were a small business owner and made it to the first year you were doing well. If you reached five years, you were doing great… So I guess at the 10-year mark, I can finally admit and say we are a true success.
Animals have always been a great love of mine. My mother would tell you that, as a child, I would rescue strays and pick up birds and even lizards off the street. Even to this day, I’m still that person who will pick up a snail and move them off a sidewalk in fear someone will step on them.
Running a small business is not always an easy task. Although rewarding, it comes with its stresses; but it’s something I felt I was meant to do and do well. My true calling.
What Small Business Ownership Means To Me
Small business ownership brings autonomy, certain freedoms and the ability to be your own boss. It has given me the ability to test personal boundaries, work on my patience and develop a thicker skin. It also comes with many rewards and lots of love, but unfortunately heartache too. What most people probably don’t realize is that every pet we care for becomes another one we feel is our own. When a client loses a family member, so do we. We mourn as if we were part of the family.
There are so many people I would like to thank for helping us become who we are and helping us get to where we are today, but there are too many to mention here.
I’d like to draw attention to my staff, both past, and present. For without them, Miami Pet Concierge would not be where we are today. With the hard work and help of my present and future staff members, I am confident I will soon write our 20 year anniversary announcement.
In closing, I wanted to share this note with you, as I am both thankful and humbled by your continued support and friendship. We feel honored and privileged to work as your pet care provider. We take great pride and providing the best care possible and only want the best for your four-legged, finned and feathered friends.

Canada's deadline for submitting your tax return is April 30. So, what should you do if you don't think you are going to be able to file your taxes on time? Read this article to find out!
If you don't file your tax return by April 30, any GST/HST refunds or solidarity tax credits you receive may be stopped or delayed. The same is true if you are expecting any Canada child benefit payments or old age security benefit payments. If either you, your spouse or common-law partner were self-employed last year, you have until June 15, to meet the tax-filing deadline. In situations of a balance owing, you will still need to pay it by April 30. The CRA applies daily compound interest to any unpaid amounts from the previous tax year as of May 1. Prescribed interest rates are subject to change every three months.
If you owe a balance and file a late return, be prepared for a late-filing penalty fee. This penalty is equivalent to five percent of your balance due plus one percent of your balance for each full month your return is late, up to a maximum of 12 months. If you also incurred a late-filing penalty in 2014, 2015, or 2016, the CRA may charge you ten percent of your balance owing for 2017. It will also add two percent of your unpaid balance for each full month your return is late, up to a maximum of 20 months. As you can see, it doesn't make sense to avoid filing your return just because you can't pay your balance in full by the CRA deadline. You can ward off late-filing penalties by filing on time, and contact the CRA about setting up a payment plan for your balance owing.
If you are unable to meet your tax obligations due to circumstances outside of your control, you can ask the CRA to cancel or waive certain penalties or interest. The CRA might consider relieving you of your penalties or interest in the following situations:
You can apply for relief from tax penalties up to ten years before the year of your request. For instance, in 2018, you can request a waiver of penalties related to any tax year ending in 2008 or later. For interest on a balance owing for any tax year or fiscal period, the CRA will only consider amounts accrued within the last ten calendar years as of the date of your request. To make such a request, you will need to fill out Form RC4288 Request for Taxpayer Relief - Cancel or Waive Penalties or Interest. Remember, it's always best to file on time. Nevertheless, if you need to apply for relief from penalties and interest, there are things you can do. | <urn:uuid:241f576e-7ced-4a7f-a588-a091dd38f26d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://mileiq.com/blog-en-ca/cant-pay-taxes-cra-tax-filing-deadline | 2023-09-22T11:44:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.956054 | 543 |
Want to contribute to the fifth-largest economy in the world? Consider starting a business in the Golden State. But to hang your shingle in California, you’ll have to register your business name first.
Read on to learn how to register a business in California.
Registering a business name reserves it in a state or local database for use by your business. It’s a good idea to register a business in California for a few reasons:
In California, business name registration requirements depend on your business entity type.
Partnerships, LLCs and corporations must register their businesses at the state level. And if the business owner wants to operate under a name other than his or her own? He must also file an extra fictitious business name statement at the county level. This is a “doing business as” (DBA) statement.
Sole proprietors in California don’t have to register at the state level. But they must file a fictitious business name statement at the county level.
Use the guidelines below for how to register a business in California.
To register the name of a partnership, LLC or corporation:
To register the name of a sole proprietorship:
Business name registration is one step of many in the business registration process. Other key steps for how to register a business in California include:
In California, the cost of registering a business name depends on the form you file and where you file it. And filing fees are always subject to change.
You can reserve a business name for $10 with the SOS, for example. But it costs $70 to file articles of organization for an LLC. That fee goes up to $100 for a general stock corporation filing articles of incorporation.
The cost of filing a fictitious business name statement varies by county. For example, it now costs $53 to file the statement in San Francisco County. It only costs $26 in Los Angeles County. | <urn:uuid:360cc1ec-0001-4ca9-80ed-37ceb4809727> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://mileiq.com/blog-en-us/register-a-business-name-california | 2023-09-22T12:41:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.924445 | 396 |

Gardening season is in full swing, complete with all of the challenges and mysteries that can pop up. Here are some tips to help you with mid-summer gardening challenges and surprises.
DIY tomato cages help with large tomato plants:
Tomato cages offer a simple means to support and contain overgrown indeterminate tomato varieties. However standard cages sold at the garden centers need additional anchorage to hold the overgrown plants and are not big enough to contain the plants. You can build a large tomato cage using concrete reinforcement mesh wielded into a cylindrical ring (3’ diameter) with the bottom ends staked into the ground. These large cages provide better support to the indeterminate varieties and their mesh size is large enough to allow for easy harvest.
What do I do with potato plants’ blossoms and berries?
Mature potato plants tend to produce small berries containing true-to-type seeds. However, these seeds are non-edible and can drain plants’ energy. It’s better to cut the flower stalk to prevent from setting fruits.
White powdery dust on cucumber and squash leaves?
Hot and humid weather condition triggers a fungal disease called powdery mildew coating the upper and lower surface of the leaves with white powdery spores. Many ornamentals and vegetable crop plants are tolerant to powdery mildew disease and do not require spray treatments. However, cucumbers, pumpkins, squash, phlox, and zinnias are highly susceptible to this disease and can cause severe defoliation.
To minimize the infection, train cucumbers on a trellis, schedule irrigation in early morning hours, and always water to the base of the plants. You can apply preventive fungicide as soon as the sign of infection is noticed. A thorough foliar application is required and should be repeated every 7 to 14 days until the humid weather subsides. For a list of fungicides, refer to the Extension factsheet on Home Vegetable Garden Fungicides.
Distorted and twisted tomato leaves?
Tomatoes are highly sensitive to common lawn herbicides containing 2,4 D and dicamba that can easily drift in vapor form when applied during hot (85 F), dry and windy days. Common symptoms include twisted, flat, and abnormal-shaped leaves. Usually, the terminal ends of the plants are the first to develop the symptoms. Unfortunately, not much can be done to the injured leaves, however subsequent new growth will be normal.
Did your beans fail to set pods?
Beans and pepper flowers are sensitive to temperatures exceeding 85 F coupled with dry winds. Plants tend to stop flowering under high temperatures and will continue until it cools down to 75 F. Mulching and regular watering helps the beans to retains their blossom.

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – In an effort to curb the drug menace in Northern Mindanao, the Philippine Drug and Enforcement Agency (PDEA-10) has successfully busted a total of P26-M worth of illegal drugs Saturday in Iligan City.
The announcement was made by PDEA-10 Regional Director Jigger Montallana during a press conference held at PDEA-10 headquarters in Cagayan de Oro.
Montallana presented to the media a certain Arnel Asuncion, a resident of Poblacion, Davao Oriental. The suspect, according to the PDEA chief, yielded a total of P26-Million of illegal drugs known as “shabu.”
Montallana told the media that Asuncion was driving a blue Navarra pick-up with plate no. GAC-3351 when operatives flagged him in Purok 32, Barangay Maria Christina, Iligan City.
Montallana said that before the arrest of the suspect, PDEA operatives conducted a buy-bust operation and successfully seized two pieces of big plastic sachets weighing one kilo.
PDEA’s planted poseur buyer handed the suspect a total of P500,000 cash as their supposed downpayment to the transaction which turned out to be a buy-bust.
Operatives have also found illegal drugs weighing 4,000 grams of shabu at the possession of the suspect, it was learned.
The raiding team also recovered a P1,000 bill placed on top of the buy-bust money, identification card, a sling bag and mobile phone reportedly owned by the suspect.
Initial investigation disclosed that the suspect, Arnel Asuncion, who is based in Davao City, has been the subject of surveillance for two months now prior to his arrest.
The joint operation was also supported by 4th Mechanized Infantry Battalion, 2nd Mechanized Infantry Battalion, Iligan City police, PDEA-10 Regional Special Enforcement Team, PDEA Misamis Oriental, and PDEA Iligan-Lanao del Norte (with PNA report) | <urn:uuid:aa47cda8-648d-4855-ad20-95e196cf0ced> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://mindanaodailynews.com/pdea-10-busts-p26-m-worth-of-illegal-drugs-in-iligan-city/ | 2023-09-22T11:04:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.956573 | 466 |
Unlock New Dimensions: How to Install Addons on Minecraft Modded Servers
12 August 2022
Minecraft modded servers offer an exciting opportunity to explore new dimensions and expand the possibilities of the game. These custom servers incorporate various mods and addons that introduce unique features, biomes, creatures, and gameplay mechanics to Minecraft. If you're eager to embark on adventures in these new dimensions, this guide will walk you through the process of installing addons on Minecraft modded servers, allowing you to unlock a whole new world of possibilities.
Choose a Modded Server:
Before diving into the process of installing addons, you need to find a modded server that aligns with your interests. There are numerous online resources, forums, and communities where you can discover and join modded Minecraft servers. Look for servers that focus on the dimensions or mods you are interested in exploring. Make sure to read server descriptions and reviews to ensure a reliable and enjoyable experience.
Download the Required Mods:
Once you've chosen a modded server, you need to download the necessary mods and addons. Modded servers often require specific mods to be installed on your Minecraft client to access their custom dimensions and features. The server owner or website should provide a list of required mods or a modpack for convenient installation.
a. Forge or Fabric: Most modded servers use either Forge or Fabric as their modding platforms. You need to download and install the corresponding modding platform on your Minecraft client to enable mod support.
b. Required Mods: The server may have specific mods that are essential for accessing the new dimensions. These mods will be listed on the server website or in the modpack provided. Download the required mods from trusted sources.
Install the Mods and Addons:
Now that you have the required mods and modding platform installed, you can proceed to install them on your Minecraft client. Follow these steps to install mods and addons:
a. Locate the Minecraft Directory: Open your Minecraft client and navigate to the Minecraft directory on your computer. The directory location varies depending on your operating system:
- For Windows: Press Win + R, then enter "%appdata%.minecraft" and press Enter.
- For macOS: Open Finder, click on "Go" in the top menu, then select "Go to Folder." Enter "~/Library/Application Support/minecraft" and click "Go."
b. Install Forge or Fabric: If you haven't already installed Forge or Fabric, download the appropriate installer for your version of Minecraft and run it. Follow the installation instructions to complete the setup.
c. Copy Mods and Addons: In the Minecraft directory, look for the "mods" folder. If it doesn't exist, create one. Copy the downloaded mods and addons into this folder.
Launch Minecraft and Connect to the Server:
Once you have installed the required mods and addons, you can launch Minecraft and connect to the modded server to explore the new dimensions. Follow these steps:
a. Launch Minecraft: Open the Minecraft client and log in with your Minecraft account.
b. Select the Modded Profile: In the Minecraft launcher, click on the "Installations" tab. Select the profile that corresponds to the modding platform you installed (Forge or Fabric).
c. Join the Modded Server: Click on the "Play" button and select the modded profile you just created. In the multiplayer menu, add the server IP address and port provided by the modded server. Connect to the server and start your adventure in the new dimensions.
Troubleshooting and Compatibility:
Sometimes, compatibility issues or conflicts between mods may arise when installing addons on modded servers. Here are some tips to address common issues:
a. Mod Version Compatibility: Ensure that the mods you download are compatible with the version of Minecraft you are using. Using mismatched versions can cause conflicts and prevent mods from working correctly.
b. Mod Conflict Resolution: If you encounter issues or crashes after installing mods, it's possible that some mods are conflicting with each other. Try removing or disabling mods one by one to identify the conflicting mod and find a solution.
c. Backup and Update: Before installing new mods or addons, make sure to back up your Minecraft directory. This allows you to restore a working configuration if any issues occur. Also, regularly update your mods and addons to the latest versions to benefit from bug fixes and compatibility improvements.
Unlock a New Dimension of Adventure:
By installing addons on Minecraft modded servers, you can unlock new dimensions, biomes, and gameplay mechanics that extend the boundaries of the game. Find a modded server that suits your interests, download the required mods, and install them on your Minecraft client. With the right mods and addons, you'll be ready to embark on thrilling adventures in unique and captivating dimensions. Remember to follow modding guidelines, regularly update your mods, and troubleshoot any compatibility issues that may arise. Now, venture forth and explore the vast worlds of Minecraft's modded servers! | <urn:uuid:066d7bdd-ad25-4450-8b16-35397e80488e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://minecraftservers.life/unlock-new-dimensions-how-to-install-addons-on-minecraft-modded-servers/ | 2023-09-22T11:25:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.869559 | 1,036 |

Reforming Australia's water market to bring trust and transparency to the system
In advance of tomorrow’s Murray-Darling Basin Ministerial Council, the Australian Government today released the Water Market Reform: Final Roadmap Report.
This report was provided to the Minister for the Environment and Water by independent Principal Adviser, Mr Daryl Quinlivan AO.
The Federal Labor Government will support implementation of all 23 recommendations that have been set out in the roadmap. The Government will seek the support of states and territories to implement the shared recommendations at the Murray-Darling Basin Ministerial Council.
Unlike Australia’s financial markets, water markets are poorly regulated and lack the features that make comparable trading markets work effectively and transparently. For example, unlike in financial markets, there is no regulation around broker behaviour, no prohibitions against market misconduct, and few reporting obligations.
A lack of regulation, transparency and data means that farmers and irrigators are unable to be sure that they are dealing with brokers who are acting in their best interests.
The Australian Government will introduce legislation and a mandatory code of conduct to deliver integrity safeguards, and lift conduct standards, comparable with other markets. There will be penalties for brokers who do not comply with the mandatory code of conduct.
Under the Government’s reforms, market conduct will be regulated by the ACCC, building on their expertise and experience with water markets.
Quotes attributable to the Minister for the Environment and Water the Hon Tanya Plibersek MP:
“Water is one of our country’s most precious resources. Many Australians aren’t aware that a large amount of it is bought and traded on the water market every day.
“Currently, our water markets are poorly regulated, lack data and accountability and are difficult to navigate for everyday farmers and irrigators. This has to change. Unlike in financial markets, for example, brokers do not have to abide by mandatory codes of conduct or integrity standards. These reforms will fix this – introducing trust to the system.
“We want to ensure that the markets are fair for buyers and sellers, that there is clear information, and that water is going where it should be – that the market is not dominated by speculators buying up water in the hope of making a quick buck.
“Most water trading occurs in the southern Basin. In the 2021–22 water year the value of this trade was $1.8 billion.
“It is imperative that trust and transparency are restored to the management and delivery of water market information.
“Today, I have accepted Mr Quinlivan’s final roadmap report and recommendations in full, recognising the enormous effort all Basin governments made to support its development.
“Taking these fundamental steps demonstrates that the Government is serious about meeting our commitment to restore transparency, integrity and confidence in water markets and water management.
“There has already been good progress from Basin state governments, but we need to do more.
“We all need to play our part in ensuring these important reforms can be fully implemented.
“I extend my thanks to Mr Quinlivan for delivering a roadmap that provides a phased, practical and cost-effective plan for water market reform."
Quotes attributable to the independent Principal Adviser Mr Daryl Quinlivan AO:
“The ACCC’s report provided the basis for developing a modern regulatory system that is now required for this market that is so important for producers, communities and the environment in the Basin. This is now widely understood and we have drawn from the lesson of other trading markets (finance, housing and land, etc) to propose critical improvements to support the integrity and transparency of water markets.

Former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley announced that she is running for president in the 2024 election.
Haley, who had also served as a United Nations Ambassador, posted a video message on her Twitter page making her announcement, boasting about her record while serving as governor. She also touched on the future of the country and what it needs moving forward.
“It’s time for a new generation of leadership,” she stated in her video, while naming the failures of Biden and the Democratic party in recent years.
Over the past two years, Haley has been predicted to make a run for the office of president in 2024 as she travelled across the country with her political group Stand for America.
She had helped Republicans running in the 2022 elections as she travelled to Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada. All of these states, along with her home state of South Carolina, hold primary contests in the Republican presidential nomination.
Haley had been questioned in 2022 about whether she would run for president in the future, to which she said she would put all her effort into it if she did.
“After November, we’ll figure it out,” she said. “But you know what I’ve said, I’ve never lost a race. I’m not going to start now. If there’s place for me, we’ll put a hundred percent in, and we’ll finish it.”
Haley had also served in the Trump administration as the United States Ambassador to the United Nations. She had left in 2018 on seemingly good term with the former president.
However, after January 6th 2021, she had publicly distanced herself from Donald Trump, even condemning him for the events during that day.
Trump had previously commented on the possibility of Haley running against him in 2024.
“Nikki suffers from something that’s a very tough thing to suffer from,” he said. “She’s overly ambitious.”
In January the former president said that he had a conversation with Haley about her running for president in 2024.
“Go by your heart if you want to run,” Trump had said he told Haley, and that she should do it.
Other prominent names who are expected to make a run for the Republican presidential nomination are Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence (R-Ind.) including many others. | <urn:uuid:bffe4c8f-8fa3-40c5-a88e-5e0a1d4c8814> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://minuteman-militia.com/2023/02/14/nikki-haley-announces-presidential-campaign-one-america-news-network/ | 2023-09-22T12:46:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.987874 | 524 |
Christian Aid Mission is assisting indigenous missionaries in some of the most difficult mission fields in the world, giving priority to unreached people groups. They currently support nearly 300 ministries in eight different regions of the world. New Tribes Mission of the Philippines (NTM) is one of these ministries.
To prepare new indigenous missionaries for the field, NTM runs a School of Missions. Unfortunately, transportation to and from school is often a challenge for the students who typically live in remote areas which lack public transportation. A ministry vehicle would alleviate this challenge as well as provide students with a way of traveling to remote villages for outreach as part of their practical training. | <urn:uuid:24fb1a3e-e824-4a18-8e5f-ed47226078ee> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://missionprojects.org/project/737 | 2023-09-22T10:49:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.967929 | 130 |

Ahead of this season’s ‘treble’ (League + Champions League + FA Cup), Pep Guardiola has confirmed that he will remain at Manchester City. City have been accused of financial fair play (FFP) violations by the English Premier League (EPL) secretariat, but Pep’s faith hasn’t changed.
A great dynasty was born. If Manchester United had a “dynasty” during the Alex Ferguson era, it’s certainly a City dynasty since Guardiola’s arrival in 2016. Guardiola has won a whopping five titles in seven seasons, most notably completing the ‘Domestic Treble’ in 2018-19.안전놀이터
Now it’s time for a real treble. Currently, City is facing an FA Cup final against Manchester United and a Champions League final against Inter Milan. Given City’s objective dominance, the odds are stacked in their favor for a “treble,” and if they pull it off, they’ll become the greatest team of all time.
However, there is only one problem: FFP violations. In February, the EPL Secretariat announced in an official statement that “the EPL Secretariat has charged City with an FFP violation.” The charges are huge. The scale of the charge is staggering. According to Martin Ziegler, a reporter for The Times, the club is facing more than 100 allegations between 2009 and 2018.
This is a serious matter that could lead to a league ban. If all of the current charges are proven, there’s a good chance they’ll be accompanied by severe penalties, such as points deductions and league bans. If sanctions are imposed for each season separately, it is possible that all of the glorious league titles of the 2010s could be wiped out, according to reports in England.
“I defended the club because I believed in them 100% from day one,” Guardiola said at the time, “I said, ‘If you lie to me, I won’t be here, I won’t move from this position. I can assure you. I want to stay here more than ever,” he said.
The faith remained. According to European soccer expert Fabrizio Romano, Guardiola said, “There is no doubt. I’m staying at Man City. I will be at City next season and I have never thought about leaving the club. I will definitely stay here. The EPL secretariat has brought charges against us, but don’t worry. We will be in the EPL, and all I want is for the EPL to make a decision quickly. Because if we did something wrong, everyone will know.” | <urn:uuid:aab661e9-0800-4294-898b-bc6bb46e921c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://mitorrent.one/peps-faith-ahead-of-the-trip-ffp-breach-no-worries-im-staying-at-man-city/ | 2023-09-22T11:25:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.962881 | 586 |

Volunteers give more than their time
Volunteers for Marshall Medical North used money earned from fundraisers and gift shop sales to buy a whole new fleet of wheelchairs for the hospital.
Wheelchairs used at hospital entrances were aging and breaking down. Volunteers are very familiar with the situation because they frequently push patients through the hospital if they have difficulty walking. When one volunteer had to transport a patient from the front to the back of the hospital in a chair with no footrests, they decided to take action to improve the situation.
“I just want to say “Thank you!” to the Auxiliary for purchasing wheelchairs for Marshall Medical Centers; not only for our hospital, but for the community and patients we serve,” said Amanda Hopson, the hospital’s safety officer. “Volunteers genuinely change the world, and we are so grateful for your support and the work you do.”
Officers of Marshall North Auxiliary met after getting prices from the hospital’s supply chain director. They decided to purchase 12 wheelchairs to be stationed in the main lobby, outpatient, ER and in the lobby of the Medical Plaza building. Two of the chairs are extra-wide and will accommodate up to 850 pounds. The total cost was approximately $3,000.
“We are so excited to be able to purchase these wheelchairs for Marshall North,” said Auxiliary President Betty Hendrix of Arab. “Our fundraising efforts (jewelry sales, book sales, the gift shop, etc.) have always been very successful and have allowed us to make purchases such as this. A special thanks goes to the ones who support our auxiliary sales.”
In the past, the Auxiliary has funded renovations of the lobby and OB department, purchased a mechanical chest compression device for ambulances, exercise equipment for Marshall Wellness and awarded scholarships to Junior Volunteers.
Anyone interested in becoming a hospital volunteer should call Volunteer Services Director Rose Myers at (256)571-8010 or email rose.myers@mmcenters. | <urn:uuid:21f6c465-175d-4197-a154-95a5f3a90c9a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://mmcenters.com/blog/hospital-auxiliary-spends-fundraiser-proceeds-on-new-fleet-of-wheelchairs | 2023-09-22T11:03:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.961994 | 437 |

The main focus in every worship service is that God comes to his people. The Lord meets His people not because they get excited or emotional during worship but according to His promise, “for where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them” (Matthew 18:20, NIV). Worshippers respond to Him by confessing their unworthiness to be in His presence, praising His goodness, and receiving Him through His Word and Sacraments. God’s blessing moves worshippers out into the world to follow the righteous path and bring to fruition the gifts He has given them.
The Lord is the primary actor in worship, and the people, the main instrument of praise. The function of choir, praise band, brass, bells, and organ is to encourage and support congregational participation. The sanctuary acts as a sound chamber in blending the main instrument of praise the voices of those worshipping. Worship leaders are not actors in the center spotlight but prompters for the congregation. When concerning worship space, the designated space, fixtures, colors, light, furnishings, art and instruments should all give the sense that God is present in the worship place.
As Lutherans, we believe that the Spirit of God has been present in and has guided the Church through the ages. We are heirs of a rich tradition in liturgy, the order of which was formulated in the early centuries of the church. In the liturgy, God comes to us in two parts, Word and Sacrament; and we respond in five parts, Kyrie, Gloria In Excelsis, Creed, Sanctus and Agnus Dei. The "2 + 5" liturgical outline can be found in LSB Setting Five. Within this format, we also include hymns and prayers as Scripture encourages: "Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord." (Ephesians 5:19, NIV).
The scripture read each week is specified by the three-year Lectionary, adopted by the liturgical churches, and has its roots in antiquity. The Lectionary and church year cycle include Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter, and Pentecost. These seasons follow the life of Jesus on earth and expose the congregation to the whole counsel of God. We celebrate the sacraments of communion and Baptism regularly to receive the forgiveness and new life from God.
Music is prescribed in the psalms and is a means to convey the biblical message. In addition, music is also avenues of prayer, praise, and confession of God’s people. Hymns and texts should be orthodox and music should have quality and potential for longevity. All of worship, music and message, contemporary and historical, from baptism onward, shapes God’s people in godliness throughout life and gives peace in death. With this in mind the Pastor and elders serve to encourage, support and evaluate music and other aspects of worship. | <urn:uuid:b2812b4d-0b82-4dc9-82d1-bab3cc7c52c2> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://molc.us/worship | 2023-09-22T11:47:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.960657 | 622 |
Maria Montessori believed that art was a natural creation universal to the human species — each culture developed its own art as a means of expression. Because art serves as a way of expressing oneself, Montessori developed a method for teaching it that would not get in the way of the child’s expressive tendencies. She taught the means for expression step by step, but encouraged children to combine them by themselves in order to express themselves.
In the Montessori classroom, art materials teach each skill separately so that the child can combine them on her own: line drawing with markers, filling in outlines with colored chalk, painting, gluing paper, etc. All of these skills will be mastered independently and then combined at the child’s discretion in some grand piece of artwork. You can see some examples of Montessori art trays HERE and HERE.
In our Montessori homeschool preschool room, we have art trays with each skill isolated so the girls can practice them. In our main living space, we have this little art corner complete with an art cart full of supplies that the girls can use to put together their OWN art trays — because this is the space where the child is given the opportunity to combine the media and technique she has learned in the classroom to express herself in a new way.
When I posted this photo on Instagram, EVERYONE wanted to know what’s in our art cart! Here are the details — but I do want to note that all of these materials are ones with which the girls are already very familiar. They know the correct way to use them, and they rarely “misuse” them [coloring on things that are not supposed to be colored on, or cutting things that are not supposed to be cut]. When they do misuse them, it is mostly done out of a need for attention rather than because they just don’t know how to use the materials. This art cart will work for children 2.5+ who have already had experience with the materials. I would not put this art cart out as-is for children younger than that or those who have never been permitted the freedom to explore with these materials.

This year, 401k contributions are capped at $17,000 per person.
So let's say somebody contributes this amount and is matched maybe 8% by their employer each contribution period.
Can the total amount be greater than $17,000? At 8% match, I think it would be $18,360.
The reason I ask is because for tax deduction purposes, the person did only contribute $17,000 and can only deduct $17,000 from income taxes, whereas their employer matched the rest.
Thanks for any insight. | <urn:uuid:59302409-d172-4616-877e-7aec6164b82a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://money.stackexchange.com/questions/17056/401k-contributions-employer-match-be-greater-than-maximum-contribution | 2023-09-22T12:31:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.969365 | 112 |

The Ecomat-Peljob brand has been around since 1995 when the French compact machine manufacturer Pel-Job Group became part of the company. They introduced their first two mini excavators, the EB150 and EB200 in 1997. The focus of these machines was on the major improvements that had been made such as reduced operating space requirement, increased bucket, and tractive power, greater lateral offset. increased excavation depth and dumping height. They created a pretty good line of 40 mini excavators and are not currently producing anymore. | <urn:uuid:f71142b4-42cb-4265-b38c-1274f8cbd4b7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://monstertires.com/product-category/tracks/mini-excavator/ecomat-peljob/ | 2023-09-22T12:48:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.97791 | 106 |

A Beautiful Lawn Doesn’t Happen by Itself.
A Beautiful Lawn Doesn’t Happen by Itself.
If you’ve recently purchased a lawn mower, you might have noticed the choke symbol on its control panel, which can be puzzling.
Let’s clarify what the choke symbol means and how to use it effectively. Whether you’re well-versed in lawn mower operation or a novice, we’ll provide a straightforward explanation of the choke symbol’s purpose and how to use it properly.
The choke symbol on your lawn mower plays a crucial role in managing the air-fuel mixture within the engine, especially during startup in cold weather conditions. This symbol or control mechanism optimizes engine performance and facilitates easier starting.
When the choke is set to the “On” position, it restricts airflow into the carburetor, resulting in a richer mixture with more fuel and less air. This enriched mixture is easier to ignite and generates the necessary heat to initiate the engine when it’s cold outside. Essentially, the choke symbol restricts airflow, ensuring the fuel-air ratio is ideal for cold starts.
Conversely, shifting the choke to the “Off” position allows air to flow freely into the carburetor, creating a leaner mixture suitable for regular operation. This adjustment is made once the engine has warmed up and can run smoothly without the need for extra fuel.
Typically associated with a metal plate attached to the choke lever, activating the choke symbol by moving the lever to the “On” position restricts airflow while moving it to the “Off” position permits unrestricted airflow.
Choke symbols on lawn mowers typically feature two distinct positions: “On” and “Off,” each signifying a specific setting for the choke. It is crucial to comprehend how to interpret the unique symbols on your specific mower model.
These symbols may differ from one mower model to another, making it vital to grasp the precise significance of the symbols on your equipment.
Below, we delve into various choke symbols and their corresponding meanings to help you understand them better.
In the lawn mowers, choke symbols can vary, but they generally consist of two positions: “On” and “Off,” representing the choke settings. For some mowers, an “O” symbol with additional lines is used. If you see an “O” with a horizontal or diagonal line, it means the choke is “On,” indicating restricted airflow for starting.
Conversely, an “O” with a vertical line signifies the choke is “Off,” allowing normal airflow. Another common pair of symbols on lawnmowers is the rabbit (open choke for operation) and turtle (closed choke for starting), indicating the choke’s status.
These symbols help users easily identify and adjust the choke as needed for different phases of engine operation.
The rabbit symbol signifies that the choke is open, allowing unrestricted airflow. This indicates that the engine is prepared for regular operation.
Conversely, the turtle symbol indicates that the choke is closed, regulating airflow to ensure a consistent flow of fuel into the engine, enabling it to start.
These symbols are commonly used to indicate the choke’s status and assist users in easily understanding and adjusting it according to the engine’s needs.
Some lawnmowers are equipped with choke symbols that include an “I” and “O” in conjunction with a red or blue switch positioned between them. These symbols and switches serve to control the choke’s status and airflow. Let’s delve into the specifics of how these symbols function and the possible alternatives for choke labels on different lawnmower models:
“I” Position (Choke On or Closed): When the switch is set to “I,” it indicates that the choke is engaged or in the closed position. This setting restricts airflow into the carburetor, creating a richer fuel-air mixture. It’s particularly useful when starting the engine in cold weather conditions because the enriched mixture is easier to ignite. To start the engine, move the switch to “I” when temperatures are low.
“O” Position (Choke Off or Open): In contrast, when the switch is set to “O,” it signifies that the choke is disengaged or in the open position. This allows unrestricted airflow into the carburetor, creating a leaner fuel-air mixture suitable for regular operation. You should move the switch to “O” when the engine has sufficiently warmed up and is ready for standard operation.
While the “I” and “O” symbols are common, not all lawnmower models use them. Some mowers feature alternative labels for their choke controls:
For lawnmowers with twin-cylinder engines, you might encounter an additional “Half Choke” label located between the “Full Choke” and “Run” labels. “Half Choke” suggests that the choke is partially open or closed. This setting is designed to prevent the mower from stalling when transitioning from “Run” to “Full Choke.”
If your lawnmower doesn’t have a “Half Choke” label and you’re uncertain about which choke setting to use, positioning the choke lever between “Full Choke” and “Run” allows the engine to adapt gradually to reduced airflow.
Should you find interpreting these choke symbols confusing, it’s advisable to consult your lawnmower’s owner’s manual. The manual typically provides detailed information about the meaning of each choke symbol and the recommended choke lever position for starting and operating your specific mower model.
A choke on a lawn mower works by adjusting the air-to-fuel ratio in the engine’s carburetor to make it easier to start a cold engine. Here’s how it operates:
Normal Operation: When the engine is running at operating temperature, it requires a specific balance of air and fuel for optimal combustion. In this condition, the choke is typically in the “Off” or “Open” position. This allows a normal amount of air to enter the carburetor, resulting in a lean air-fuel mixture.
Starting a Cold Engine: When you start a lawnmower with a cold engine, the air and fuel mixture need to be richer (more fuel and less air) to ignite easily. This is where the choke comes into play. When you engage the choke by moving the lever or knob to the “On” or “Closed” position, it restricts the amount of air entering the carburetor.
Rich Mixture: With the choke on, the engine receives a reduced amount of air, creating a rich air-fuel mixture. This rich mixture is easier to ignite because it contains more fuel, making the engine start more readily, especially in cold conditions.
Warming Up: Once the engine has started and begins to warm up, the choke should be gradually moved to the “Off” or “Open” position. This allows more air to enter the carburetor, shifting the mixture back to the normal, leaner ratio suitable for efficient and smooth operation.
The choke temporarily alters the air-fuel mixture to favor richer combustion when starting a cold lawn mower engine. Once the engine is running smoothly and has warmed up, the choke should be returned to the “Off” position to achieve the correct air-fuel ratio for optimal performance.
The location of the choke on lawn mowers can vary depending on the make and model of the mower. However, we can provide you with a general guide to where to look for the choke lever or knob.
Remember, the choke is used to adjust the air-fuel mixture when starting a cold engine to facilitate easier starting. After the engine warms up, you typically need to return the choke to the “run” or “normal” position for regular operation.
You can technically operate a lawnmower with the choke on, but it’s not advisable for normal mowing. The choke is primarily used when starting a cold engine to provide a richer fuel mixture, which makes it easier to start. Once the engine is running smoothly and has warmed up, you should typically move the choke to the “run” or “normal” position.
Leaving the choke on while mowing can cause the engine to run too rich (too much fuel and not enough air), leading to several issues:
While you can use the choke to start a cold lawnmower engine, it’s best to turn it off once the engine warms up for peak performance, fuel efficiency, and engine lifespan.
You might choose to run your lawn mower with the choke on in the following situations:
Before operating your mower in these cases, address the issues by clearing the fuel line, replacing the filter, or resolving fuel mixture problems, such as draining and refilling the tank with fresh fuel.
Understanding the choke symbol on your lawn mower is essential for smooth operation. Choke symbols can vary between machines.
When you see a closed symbol, it means the choke is on, regulating airflow to assist with engine startup, particularly in colder conditions.
On the other hand, an open symbol indicates that the choke is off, allowing unrestricted airflow. After the engine has warmed up, turning off the choke ensures efficient mower operation.

In economics, there is a concept called Veblen goods, items which become more desirable and popular the more expensive they are. Apple is if course the main champion of the concept, with each product they introduce more expensive than the last, with the $549 AirPod Max topping the most recent list.
Even Apple can’t beat Russian brand Caviar, known for taken already expensive items over the top by adding luxurious material such as gold, diamonds and rare leather. The company has now announced an improved version of Apple’s AirPod Max, with the price of the resulting headphones topping out a bank-breaking $108,000.
The AirPods Max Limited Edition from Caviar is available in two colours: white and black. The headband is made of crocodile leather, while the high-gloss ear cups are decorated with 18-karat gold, with the Caviar logo incorporated in the middle of the ear cups. The buttons and signature Digital Crown are also covered in gold.
In fact, the design incorporates a full 830g of gold, explaining much of the price of the headphones. Thankfully the metal does not impede the functionality of the Bluetooth device.
Of course, despite the Veblen curve, the market for $108,000 wireless headphones are not gigantic, which may explain why Caviar is making just one set in each colour, meaning when you are swanning with the other oligarchs you can be assured no-one else will be sporting one.
If you are looking to purchase a pair, you can ask your personal assistant to check out Caviar’s store here. | <urn:uuid:439b4ff3-a6b0-4a7f-ba42-1ce4949e1b89> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://mspoweruser.com/these-airpod-max-headphones-cost-only-108000/ | 2023-09-22T11:23:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.938991 | 333 |

German pianist and conductor Lars Vogt, who died of cancer aged 51, rose to prominence after winning second prize at the Leeds International Piano Competition in 1990. To a repertoire including Bach , Mozart and Beethoven, but centered mainly on romantic composers such as BrahmsSchumann, Grieg, Rachmaninoff and Tchaikovsky, he brought exceptional sensitivity and lyricism, the melancholy and restrained emotional register of Brahms’ last pieces suiting him particularly well.
Although ceding first prize to Artur Pizarro in Leeds, Vogt impressed with his witty, witty Haydn and a retelling of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition that combined subtlety and grandeur. In the concerto finale, his maturity representation of the Schumann announced a player of remarkable eloquence and unaffected charisma.
He went on to perform with many leading conductors and orchestras around the world. A particularly prestigious appointment was that of the very first pianist in residence at the Berlin Philharmonic for the 2003-04 season.
He was also a keen partner in chamber music, often teaming up with musicians such as Christian and Tanja Tetzlaff, Truls Mørk, Sabine Meyer and Sarah Chang, and singers such as Thomas Quasthoff, Ian Bostridge and Julian Pregardien.
In 1998 he co-founded with his first wife, Russian composer Tatiana Komarova, his own chamber music festival, Spannungen (“Excitements”), located in a former art nouveau hydroelectric power station in the village of Heimbach near Cologne. Many outstanding recordings emanated from performances there, and he remained artistic director until his death.
Simon Rattle, who conducted Schumann’s concerto in Leeds and his first two recordings (Schumann/Grieg and Beethoven’s first concerto), remains his mentor, prophesying at the time: “In 10 years you will be a conductor. You have a conductor’s brain. And indeed Vogt has taken his place regularly on the podium over time, without letting go of the one on the keyboard.
He was appointed Music Director of the Royal Northern Sinfonia from 2015 for a five-year term, becoming Principal Artistic Partner from 2020. From the 2020-21 season he was also Music Director of the Orchestra of Chambre de Paris – the first French orchestra to claim full gender equality. This contract, initially for three years, was recently extended until June 2025.
Early in his career he was an EMI recording artist, making records with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra under Claudio Abbado and the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra under Rattle. Recently, he recorded for the Finnish label Ondine: the complete keyboard concertos of Beethoven and Brahms, Bach’s Goldberg Variations, played with verve and careful articulation but with subtle and unexpected touches, and a disc of works by Janáček which won him the Opus Klassik prize. for the best solo piano album of the year in 2021.
Among the contemporary composers whose works he premiered are Thomas Larcher, Erkki-Sven Tüür, Kryštof Mařatka and Volker David Kirchner.
Born in Düren, North Rhine-Westphalia, he was the youngest of three children of an engineer (who as a young man had funded his education by playing professional football for his local team) and his wife. Lars learned the piano from the age of six and studied at today’s Hochschule für Musik, Theater und Medien Hannover. His teacher was the distinguished pedagogue Karl-Heinz Kämmerling, whose students also included Igor Levit and Alice Sara Ott. After Kämmerling’s death in 2012, Vogt succeeded him as piano teacher at the Hochschule.
He made the first of 14 BBC Proms appearances in 1992, performing Grieg’s Concerto with the BBC Symphony Orchestra under Mark Elder. He then played with all the great British orchestras, the Gewandhaus Leipzig, royal concert hall, Vienna Philharmonic and much more. Concerned about the state of music education, he created a program in Germany called Rhapsody in School, in which he and other professional musicians visited schools to interact with young people, the aim being to inspire and forge links.
After his marriage to Komarova ended, he married the Polish violinist Anna Reszniak. Suffering from throat and liver cancer last year, he continued to play throughout his treatment (he was lucky enough to have an upright piano in the cancer ward and a grand piano in palliative care service). He spoke movingly in an interview about his family and the composers who most comforted him in his condition: Brahms, Mozart and Bach – “the three composers who seem to me most important now”.
Of Brahms, he said that what spoke to him most deeply at that time was that the composer, who had no children of his own, was nevertheless able to enter the world of childhood with the “gently fragile” major chords that would follow a passage of darker colors.
“The narrator says,” he continued, “‘You’ve got a lot of pain and sadness ahead of you – but for now, just go to sleep,’ and it amounts to a lullaby. It’s an adjustment of perspective – not a complete identification with childhood, but from an adult point of view – of a person who has seen a lot.
Vogt is survived by Anna and three children. | <urn:uuid:430468e2-3fa9-4b85-846c-5fc90ce8ac15> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://musica-antica.info/lars-vogt-obituary-classical-music/ | 2023-09-22T11:16:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.971948 | 1,201 |
The Acorn – No Ghost
3 / 5
As the fourth album from the Ottowa, Canada indie rock group The Acorn, No Ghost is a pleasing little album. With enough charm to win over some of the rock crowd, the only thing No Ghost lacks is more musical personality. We admit it’s written well enough to work, but what makes it stand out from the crowd? While we enjoy the downtempo of “On the Line,” much of the album is spent in a near-middle pace; what we look for is whether an album makes a strong, if not bizarre, statement (“musical statement,” not Lady Gaga “fashion statement”). And while calm and composed works on songs like “Bobcat Goldwraith,” and “No Ghost,” we feel the average listener might be at a loss as to how to describe the mood and style of this album to their friends: “It’s something like [rock band A] but not quite [rock band B].” We could waste more time making comparisons, but it comes down to the fact that it’s simply more fun to listen to something out of the typical mold, even if it does share Phoenix’s vocals (rock band A) and Wilco’s pacing (band B – without unusual lyrics). Good, but probably not a go-to album on your player.

As an organisation committed to evidence-based management, Melbourne Water invests considerable funds in both research and technical reports (both from researchers and consultants) which are based on or rely on scientific evidence. Given the magnitude of investment based on such documents, there is a strong argument for ensuring appropriate peer review.
The Melbourne Waterway Research-Practice Partnership is able to facilitate an independent peer review process.
This process is coordinated in a way similar way to that conducted by scientific journals. That is, reviewers with appropriate expertise are sought out (both nationally and internationally) and will produce confidential, independent reviews, which will be provided to Melbourne Water. The Partnership simply facilitates this process, and will not usually have a role in influencing the peer review process (except in the case where one of the Partnership’s researchers is identified as an appropriate peer reviewer).
The cost of engaging such reviewers is provided through the normal project budget. Such an approach replaces the method whereby consultants typically engage and pay for peer review as part of the project budget, a process that lacks the perception of complete independence.

The 21 Day Fix purple container holds fruit. Depending on your calorie bracket for the 21 Day Fix, you can have between two and five purple containers full of fruits per day from the 2019 approved food list.
The size of the 21 Day Fix purple container is one cup. This is a volume measurement–there is no weight measurement for the containers. One cup of strawberries is going to weigh more than one cup of raspberries, so you’ll see why weighing your containers isn’t the best way to ensure weight loss results.
Your average fruit for the purple container is going to be about 100 calories at most, so if you’re trying to determine a range for the container, that will help.
I’ve heard a lot of people say, “nobody has gotten fat over eating a whole banana” and while that statement makes sense, overeating on your purple container allotment every day will impact your weight loss results on the 21 Day Fix. Eating 200 calories of a banana once (or twice) a day will impact your weight loss.
After calculating your calorie bracket for the Fix, you’ll see how many purple containers you should eat per day. Examples of foods that go in the purple container are raspberries, strawberries, cherries, apples, watermelon, bananas, and oranges.
On the Food list, some fruits are given a specific size or amount (1/2 large banana, or 2 medium guava). For other fruits that don’t list a specific size or amount, fill your container with the fruit to determine how much to eat.
When it comes to these foods that list a size and amount, try not to overthink it–1/2 of a large banana is exactly that, 1/2 of the large banana you usually see at Costco, or your local grocery store.
Foods like strawberries, for example, can fit different amounts in the purple container depending on how big the strawberry is, so counting how many strawberries isn’t the best way to determine that.
As with the other container colors on the food list, the 21 Day Fix purple container food list is in order from healthiest and more nutrient packed fruits at the top to least nutrient packed fruits at the bottom. While all of the foods on the list are healthy, focusing on the top of the food list can help you overcome a weight loss plateau or weight loss stall.
Have you heard of a purple container treat swap? Three times per week, you can use one purple container as a treat swap. You’ll be doing this for foods that go above that 100-ish calorie range. Foods that are considered purple treat swaps are dried fruit, prunes, dates, raisins, and juice.
There are also a couple of treat swaps that use both the yellow and purple containers, like chocolate covered raisins and banana oatmeal cookies with raisins. Remember that in order to continue losing weight on the 21 Day Fix, these swaps should be used no more than three times per week.

Have you ever wondered why so many people are unsuccessful in exercising and changing bad habits? Maybe it’s due to the absence of one crucial ingredient many need but doesn’t necessarily utilize; it’s an accountability partner. Without accountability, some of us will not do things necessary for good health. Sure, we all know we need to exercise; it’s just a matter of doing it.
Some friends hold me accountable for exercising, drinking water, and eating correctly. We check in once a week and give our weight gains or losses. In addition to this, we also encourage each other during the week to drink more water and eat healthy foods. Sometimes we post pictures of our meals as suggestions for others to try. We also have water consumption and exercise challenges.
Two are Better than One
A text in the Bible, Ecclesiastes 4: 9-10, says, “Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor. If either of them falls, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.” Now here are some of the benefits of an accountability partner.
If I become slack in my exercise or health management, I have someone to say, “Hey, you can’t quit now. Get up and keep trying.” Sometimes we may get tired of motivating ourselves, and that’s when an accountability partner steps in. When you run out of gas and feel like giving up, your accountability partner is there to motivate you not to give up. You may hear them say things such as, “That was just 15 push-ups. Give me ten more. Hey, keep going. You can do it. Don’t stop!”
There is nothing like an encouraging text, email, or note from time to time from someone who is in your corner when it comes to health. “Hey, it looks like you’ve lost a few pounds.” (they notice) “I found a recipe you may like. Try it and tell me what you think.”
“You drank eight glasses of water today? You go, girl!” Are you exercising for 20 minutes? “You drank eight glasses of water today? Way to go!” “You’re exercising 20 minutes? Maybe you can go for 30 minutes.” Have you had your mammogram or physical this year? Accountability partners give gentle reminders and suggestions.
Virtual Accountability Partners
Accountability Partners don’t always have to be someone who physically walks or exercises with you. They can also be online. You can do check-ins by phone or email and even use an app together. The key to success is checking in with this person regularly. The thing that hinders success is a lack of consistency. Regularly doing a task, even for 10 or 15 minutes, is better than exercising for an hour every now and then. Remember this: “Consistency is better than intensity.”
Workplaces and groups incorporate accountability into their health plans by putting systems to keep employees healthy.
They offer discounts, free gym memberships, online health education, weight loss programs, or health monitoring devices like Fitbit. Check with your place of employment to see if they offer any of these programs.
Exercise buddies can be husbands, sisters, friends, co-workers, or neighbors. You can even find online partners and groups. There is a website called www.sparkpeople.com that has plenty of free resources for losing weight and staying healthy. They also have accountability partners/groups, recipes, exercise videos, and a wealth of other information. If being consistent is difficult for you to get an accountability partner. Remember, two are better than ONE! | <urn:uuid:6398c11c-4a52-4368-b7e6-3ed06caa5b3c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://myfitlady.com/the-benefits-of-accountability-partners/ | 2023-09-22T12:11:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.962272 | 801 |
Paris Bookclub Meeting #3 – Giovanni’s Room
Bonjour loves, how are you doing? Ça va?
I hope you and your family are well in this time of COVID, Black Lives Matter, and international fed-up Uprising?
Let us remember that we have much power within us for positive change; that no matter how small we are in fact vehicles of change. Afterall the whole human experience is one of change and evolution. I have chosen to focus the last few weeks on my own internal processing, healing and action – care that was deeply needed and unable to get from the outside world, especially while being emotionally triggered to topics that are just coming to light to the wider world of what it’s been like to be non-white. An existence that has been held to a standard that always makes one feel that we are living in a system that was never designed for us to be equally alive.
You have the power to make the world a more equal, humanitarian place (because I believe being anti-racist means you love all people and live life as such). In France too we experience racism, and I have also been sharing about the stories of Adama Traore on Instagram.
I spoke about my experience of being a black woman here in our last book club meeting that we dedicated to an intimate Q+A session.
Hence, I took time out of blogging (even though I was active on instagram and facebook) and have been vulnerable enough to even show more of my face and stories there.
My hope is to get back to a more regular posting as we move into the rest of summer here, all while sharing Paris through my lens. The love of food, people and places will always be here.
Here’s to more authentic connections, conversations and JOIE DE VIVRE
Lastly, you can join us on our BOOK CLUB that meets virtually every month on either two topics, personal development or French culture. This month we get to discover together Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin. A powerful coming of age book so beautifully written that you will want to re-read every page just for delight. We will meet – AUGUST 2nd 2020
bisous and see you soon!

When is the Best Time of Year to Book a Liposuction Procedure?
Liposuction is an excellent body contouring option to treat multiple areas and achieve the body you desire. While you can consider liposuction any time of the year, there is an expression that "beach-ready bodies" are made during winter. Colder weather is the perfect time to have the excuse to stay indoors. During liposuction recovery, you won't have to explain why you are at home and not going out as much. It also gives you plenty of time to heal before summertime rolls around. Any swelling, bruising, and incision scars will have disappeared by the time warmer weather hits, making it easier to wear shorts and that bikini you have wanted to show off.
Read on to learn more about this fat reduction surgery from dual board-certified aesthetic and plastic surgeon Dr. Nana Mizuguchi and the dedicated team at Mizuguchi Plastic Surgery, or contact our Louisville, KY office and schedule a consultation today.
Who is an ideal candidate for liposuction?
A liposuction procedure is an excellent option to put an end to stubborn fat. However, it shouldn't be considered a weight-loss treatment and is not ideal for everyone. This fat removal surgery is suitable for Louisville, KY patients near or close to their target body weight (within 30%) who still struggle with disproportionate localized pockets of fat that are unchanged by diet and exercise. The best candidates are:
- Healthy, nonsmoking adults
- Patients who have good skin elasticity and muscle tone
- Men and women with realistic expectations and a positive outlook about their liposuction results
How does liposuction work?
Both men and women can achieve dramatic results with this fat reduction surgery. If you are at or near your ideal body weight, liposuction can sculpt your body by removing unwanted fat. During this outpatient procedure, Dr. Mizuguchi will place a small incision in the target area to insert a cannula underneath the skin. With precision and a creative touch, he will use the cannula tool to loosen up stubborn fat cells to be suctioned out gently. Generally, the amount of fat that can safely be removed ranges from 1– 10 pounds. Once the fat reduction surgery is complete, Dr. Mizuguchi will suture up any incisions that he strategically placed in the target area so they are not easily seen once healed.
When is the right time to consider fat removal surgery?
For those patients planning or considering a liposuction procedure, the timing is a crucial factor. It can make all the difference in the efficiency and success of your liposuction recovery and getting satisfactory long-term results. As for the right time of year, it can be anytime! However, patients often look to the winter months as a perfect time to get their bodies "beach-ready" with liposuction. It is also easier to wear a compression garment when the temperature outside is colder. A compression garment is typically worn for a few weeks to control swelling and aid in the healing process. In wintertime, it will not only keep you warmer but can also be hidden by those extra layers of comfy clothes. By the time summertime rolls around, your compression garment can be gone, and you will be able to show off your new look.
Are you considering liposuction in Louisville, KY?
When diet and exercise can't help those pesky bulges in certain spots, fat removal surgery is an excellent option to sculpt and contour different areas, such as thighs, hips, flanks, abdomen, and more. At Mizuguchi Plastic Surgery in Louisville, KY, dual board-certified aesthetic and plastic surgeon Dr. Nana Mizuguchi personalizes each liposuction procedure to give his patients the results they deserve.

National Lumber had the pleasure of taking part in the 33rd annual Festival of Trees, hosted by the Kennedy Krieger Institute at the Maryland State Fairgrounds. The Festival of Trees is a fundraising charity event that benefits the over 25,000 children who are currently patients at the Kenndy Krieger Institute. After a several-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Festival of Trees finally made its much-anticipated return this year on Thanksgiving weekend, November 25th to the 27th.
The festival featured a wide variety of skilled artisan vendors, holiday-themed entertainment, a silent auction, and a beautiful array of designer-decorated trees, wreaths, and gingerbread houses that were on display and for sale. National Lumber was able to purchase one of these beautiful Christmas trees and currently has it on display in our office. This event is perfect to usher in the Christmas season and has fun and entertainment for the entire family.
The designer-decorated tree that National Lumber had the honor of purchasing was themed “Christmas For Crabs”. Decorated in true Maryland fashion, the tree features a beautiful array of crab-shaped ornaments, Maryland Flag colors, and an overall homage to our lovely, crab-fueled state. Our team was delighted to welcome the holidays with such an amazing piece of art in our office.
We admire and wholeheartedly support the efforts that the Kennedy Krieger Institute instills in caring for its patients. This fundraiser allocates its proceeds to providing care for the over 25,000 children in their care. National Lumber is committed to assisting charitable work and recognizes the Kennedy Krieger Institute as an organization that helps countless children every year. We are thrilled to be able to take part in this year’s event and are eager to continue our charity work.
We look forward to next year’s Festival of Trees and hope to see you there! Not only is it an exciting and festive event, but it truly helps to fund the Kennedy Krieger Institute. From everyone at National Lumber, we hope you have a fantastic holiday season and a wonderful New Year! | <urn:uuid:38acebc8-79ba-4884-8b98-84b630c4c1d8> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://nationallumber.biz/2022/12/festival-of-trees-kennedy-krieger-institute/ | 2023-09-22T11:25:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.959583 | 444 |
AMHERST, N.Y. -- Once you get to the Toyota-USA Hockey Youth Tier I 16U National Championships, there is no easy route to the finals.
However, the third-seeded Colorado Thunderbirds might have wondered if they drew the short straw when they saw how the pool groupings turned out.
In their pool was none other than Team Wisconsin, who beat Colorado last year in the finals in a four-overtime 2-1 thriller. Also placed in Pool C were the speedy, relentless Cape Cod Whalers.
“When you look at the four teams in our division, we got a tough draw,” Colorado coach Angelo Ricci said. “I don’t look at it that way at all. I look at it whoever is on your schedule you got to play. It doesn’t matter. It prepares you for the weekend.”
Colorado started out with a 4-0 win against the Carolina Jr. Hurricanes.
“I thought we played a strong game,” Ricci said. “I think we set the tone. They’re a good team. I just thought we played really well yesterday and got opportunistic when we got our chances.”
Their next opponent was Cape Cod, which survived a 2-1 shootout win against Wisconsin.
The game started out all Colorado, as the Thunderbirds jumped out to a 3-0 first-period lead on a pair of goals by Phillip Knies and one by Ben Lown.
However, Cape Cod was not a team to back down.
“By far one of the most skilled and fast teams in terms of their speed,” Ricci said. “They were relentless on their forecheck.”
Cape Cod’s Jay O’Brien scored in the second and then Casey Carreau scored late in the third to suddenly make it a one-goal game.
“A lot of penalties early, both ways, took the flow out if the game,” Ricci explained. “Once the game got going, it was a good game back and forth. Both goalies made big saves at certain times. Their D is very mobile and active, so it was a good hockey game.”
Ashton Fry made sure Cape Cod didn’t have the opportunity to pull its goalie, clinching the game with 3:05 left. He appeared to whiff on his initial shot but was able to recover and scoop the puck in.
Colorado relies heavily on their defense, letting up 69 goals in 67 games this year.
“The most impressive thing with our team is our defensive side,” Ricci said. “I think we have the best one-two tandem in the country. All year they split the games, and they’ve both been very good. Dayton [Rasmussen] has 16 shutouts and [Austin] Park has 15. We have 31 shutouts.
“I think we put together a solid year, but it all comes down to this weekend. Everybody has a record of 0-0 starting the weekend.”
After two games, Colorado is the only team in this tough group with the maximum six points. With Wisconsin beating Carolina 4-1, Colorado is ensured of making it out of the group.
“We’re guaranteed to be playing on Sunday morning,” Ricci said. “We want to get that one seed going into the weekend.”
To get that No. 1 seed, the Thunderbirds have to beat the team they faced in the 2014 championship game. In fact, beating Wisconsin could knock Wisconsin out of the second round.
“We played them last year, in Green Bay. I’m sure if this was like TV it would be meant to be,” Ricci laughed. “Our guys will be a little pumped and excited for that game. We saw the schedule, we said we would like to be 2-0 going into the game against them. It’s not about last year. It’s about winning and advancing and wanting to play our best game heading into Sunday.”
Colorado has survived the tough pool, but there are a lot more obstacles ahead trying to get back to the title game.

by Natty Soltesz, concept by Mor
When you get a shock it takes a minute before you can recover then go about fixing the problem. I’m an electrician, so I’ve been shocked plenty of times. But for any kind of shock, it’s the same thing: it wears off, then you figure out what to do next.
So no, I wasn’t prepared to find my boy the way I did that day: using one hand to wrap my dirty briefs around his hard cock, and the other to shove my pit-stained undershirt in his nose; an expression on his face like he’d died and gone to heaven.
“Billy, what the hell you doin!?” I shouted, and he jumped up from my bed and tried covering himself up. “Jerkin off in my room? And smelling my clothes? What the hell is this?”
“Sorry, Dad! I just got horny and…well…” The kid was obviously mortified.
“And you thought you’d huff my dirty work clothes?” I said. I grabbed my underwear out of his hand and then my shirt. He stood there naked and hard.
“Yeah, I just…I like the way they smell…” His face was as red as his hard-on.
“Go get some goddamn clothes on,” I said, tossing my briefs and shirt into the corner. “We’ll talk about this later!”
By the time we’d finished dinner my head had cleared a little. Apparently my boy had a thing for smelling my dirty underwear. I didn’t understand it, but I knew I needed to do something before the problem got out of hand.
I remembered back when I was a kid and my dad caught me smoking cigarettes with my buddies beneath the railroad trestle. When I got home that day he had a freshly-bought pack of cigarettes on the kitchen table next to a pack of matches. “Since you like to smoke, I’m gonna let you have this entire pack. But you have to smoke all of them right now,” he said. I didn’t get through half of it before I was throwing up in the sink, and I never smoked again.
I had an idea of how I could do the same thing for my boy. So I skipped my morning shower the next day and went off to work. It was a long day and a scorcher, so by the time I got home I was doused in sweat. My boy was studying at the kitchen table, being as good as he could be, I suppose. I sat down next to him.
“Son,” I said. “We need to talk about yesterday.”
“Yeah,” he said, looking down, ashamed, at the table.
“Clearly you like smelling my dirty shirts and underwear. So I tell you what: I’m gonna let you sniff em all you want,” I said. Billy’s eyes brightened.
“Really?” he said.
“Really,” I said. “But there’s a catch. You can only smell them when I’m in them. And you can’t stop until I tell you to. Understand?”
“I think so…” he said.
“Good,” I said and stood. “Now stand up here next to me.” I lifted my arm. “Go ahead,” I said. “Get your nose in there. It’s what you like, isn’t it?” My boy looked a little nervous, but he went ahead and placed his face in my raised armpit. He sniffed, and almost immediately his expression changed. He sniffed deeper. “The other one, now,” I said, and he came to my left side. He sniffed and sniffed again, his eyes closing in pleasure. I saw the bulge in his shorts jump and for the first time, I had my doubts that this was the right approach.
“Hold on,” I said, and took off my blue work shirt so that I was just in my undershirt. I’d chosen to wear this one specifically because I hadn’t washed it in a couple days; the pits were yellow and wet. “Alright, get back in there,” I said. His nose grazed my wet shirt stains as he smelled me. But it seemed like the more he took in my smell the more insatiable he got.
“Alright, try this, then,” I said, and stripped off my undershirt. Sweat coated my hairy, muscular chest, and when I raised my arm the hair there had drops hanging from it like dew in the grass. “Take that in why don’t ya?” I said, and pushed his face into my pit. It must have covered his face in my musk, but the kid didn’t flinch, in fact he just sniffed deeper. I heard a little moan escape his lips. This was bad.
I let him have at the other pit for a while then I pulled his head out. His face was wet with my sweat but you would’ve thought he’d had his nose in the damn flowers from the expression on his face. I tried to ignore the growing tent in his shorts as I made my next move.
“Alright, son, now get on your knees,” I said. He had an eager look on his face as I undid my belt. Now I’d seen my underwear in his hands so I figured he must have been sniffing those too. But these were my balls – my full-on hairy, sweat-coated nuts and taint. There was no way that smell couldn’t hit him like a truck. And I planned to force his face in there until he couldn’t take it anymore.
“You like smelling my pits so much, why don’t you get your nose in my sweaty balls, huh?” I said as I unbuckled my jeans and let them drop to the floor. I reached for the back of my boy’s head and pushed his face into where my sweaty balls strained against the stretched-out, piss-stained fabric. “Sniff deep, son. Really get in there, and don’t stop till I say.” The kid did as he was told, I can say that at least. He got up in there, knocked his nose against my balls, even. I could hear him inhaling. But even though he was nose-deep in the sweaty sack of my briefs, he didn’t see phased. If anything he seemed more excited.
“Alright, you like it so much? See how you like this,” I said, and my boy’s eyes widened as I slid my underwear down and let my rod and nards flop out. “Go ahead, kid, get back in there and take another whiff. As much as you want.”
He looked at my cock – shocked, maybe, at the size, or how smelly it was. I mean, even I could smell my nuts from where I stood – I can’t imagine how it must have smelled to him. Sweat had collected in the thick thatch of dark hair above my cock, the space under my nuts was slick and swampy. If anything was gonna make him think twice about his bad habit, it had to be this.
“Don’t be afraid, Billy – get in there,” I said, and shoved my crotch in his face. His nose went into my moist pubes and his lips pressed against my heavy balls. He inhaled…inhaled again…and, impossibly, his cock got even harder in his shorts.
Well this is just ridiculous, I thought. I held his face in my crotch – almost suffocating him with it – but the kid’s cock just continued to jump and throb. And what was even stranger was that it started to wear off on me – my cock started to get hard, too. My boy looked up when he felt it jump, then reared back and looked, wide-eyed, as his father’s cock grew and grew, towering over his face until it swelled up to its full, throbbing nine inches of thick meat. Billy’s face was slick and shiny with ball sweat – he was totally coated in my musk.
“Well, shit…I guess I’m gettin a little excited, too. Just ignore it, okay? I’ll have your mom take care of that later.” It was all I could think to say, because my cock was fully hard now and pumping out precum like it does. I didn’t know where this was coming from, but chalked it up to the fact that I hadn’t had sex with my wife in a while.
“Don’t stop sniffin,” I said, and swung my balls back toward his face. There was no stopping now – I had to keep going, if I wanted to do the kid any good. And, clearly, I had to keep giving him more than he bargained for if I wanted to curb the problem.
“You obviously like the smell of my cock and balls,” I said, lifting my kid’s face up to look at mine. “But let’s see how much you like the taste.”
“W-what do you mean, Dad?” he said.
“I mean, I want you to lick up that sweat you enjoy smelling so much. Clean me off, kid. Every inch until I’m nice and fresh. Got it?” I said. He nodded. “Okay, then. Start at my balls and work your way up to my shaft.”
He began to lap at my nuts, licking each one gently and slowly like he was savoring it. It made my dick throb. He opened wide and took the left one into his mouth entirely, wrapping his tongue around it and rolling it around. Fuck it felt good – no denying that – but this was about punishment. So I had him take both of my balls in his mouth at the same time. He had some trouble with that, but when he finally got it right he had two stinky nuts in his mouth and his face fully buried in my crotch. The kid looked humiliated but, at the same time, blissed-out.
“Now my cock,” I said. “Lick every inch of that thick shaft. Every drop of sweat.” I watched as my boy extended his tongue and lapped up the sides of my meat, along the base of the shaft and then, curled his tongue to lick at the top side of it, like he was enjoying a Popsicle on a hot day.
“Now the head,” I said. “Suck off that precum. Swallow it all down, boy.” My cock pulsed as my son sucked the head of my cock into his mouth, sucking at the precum that was still oozing out of it. He swallowed it down like he was hungry for it. He licked and licked at my salty flesh until there was no sweat left, and he still seemed like he could go for more.
But I had one more trick up my sleeve.
“Okay, kid. I can see this isn’t working exactly like I’d planned. But if you like your dad’s musk so much, you wouldn’t object to sniffing his big, hairy ass – would you?” I said. I turned, exposing the whole of my huge muscled ass to my hopelessly horny kid. “Think you’ll enjoy yourself when your nose is up in there?” I said, and instead of waiting for him to respond I grabbed him by the ears and shoved his face between my massive cheeks. I heard my boy’s muffled moans as his nose sunk right into his dad’s sweat-glazed hole. I couldn’t imagine how that smell for him, my asshole collected with a whole day’s worth of sweat that had drizzled down my neck, shoulder and back to collect just in that spot. Yep, this was the concentrated stench and musk of his hard-working pop, right up in his face. It had to turn him off. It just had to.
Me, however…well, my cock just wasn’t going down. I guess I was a lot hornier than I realized. I let go of my kid’s head so he could catch his breath, but then I pushed his face right back in.
“Alright, now, you’re gonna clean me back there too. Understand? Lick every bit of sweat out of that ass and do it good,” I said. I felt my boy’s tongue travel down my crack, licking and lapping at it. He was moaning like a bitch. Then I felt his tongue on my hole.
“Oh, fuck,” I moaned. I couldn’t help it. It was the most deliciously horny thing I’d ever felt in my life, my kid’s lusty little tongue poking into my asshole. My cock throbbed and I thought about it for a second: even if I was just doing my job as a father, there wasn’t any reason I couldn’t get some pleasure out of it. So I went ahead and stroked my cock as my kid ate me out. “Get it good and clean, boy,” I bellowed as I stroked, reaching back to push his face into me again. He really dug his tongue deep. “There you fuckin go. Deeper!” I said, and his tongue went impossibly further into me.
After a while I had him get on the floor and crouched over his face. I swept my ass all over his tongue, then sat on his face fully, pinning his head to the hard floor as I smothered him in hairy, muscled Dad-butt. “Keep that tongue going, kid. Don’t stop till I say…oh fuck I’m getting close.” Billy tried to moan as my hole clenched around his tongue. The closer I got to my orgasm the less control I had over myself. “Oh fuck I’m cumming, kid,” I said. “Lick my fuckin ass! Get your Dad’s ass clean. Fuck!” I screamed, and my load began to shoot out and fly all over his bare stomach and shorts. As I coated his body with cum I noticed his boner, pulsing in his shorts: he was cumming, too, without even touching himself. Wet patches soaked through his shorts as more and more boy-jizz pumped out of him.
I ground my asshole one more time onto that hot tongue, then stood up to survey the damage and figure out what to do next. Sure, things hadn’t gone exactly how I’d planned them to go, but all wasn’t lost. My kid’s face was slathered in ass sweat, ball-juice and pit musk, and the rest of him was covered in cum. I had him stand up before me.
“Alright, kid, you’re gonna stay like that for the rest of the night, understand?” I said, pointing my finger at him for emphasis. “No cleaning yourself off. I want you to soak in that.”
“Okay, Dad,” he said, and I detected a sly smile as he turned away.
“This is your punishment, understand?” I called out to him. “We’re gonna keep doing this, over and over, until you get over it, and I don’t care how long it takes.” | <urn:uuid:e97fb82e-f02e-41a8-9a5e-0100764bc7ef> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://nattysoltesz.com/exposure-therapy/ | 2023-09-22T12:36:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.990014 | 3,464 |
How to get a teacher fired
Teachers are the primary resources in educational intuition. Without a teacher, there is no way you can run a school, college, or university. Teachers are the only essence. They should be respected by students as well by the administration of an institution.
If there is a reason that firing a particular teacher is necessary, it must be in a proper way. There are many ways to do it. No one likes firing from someplace. So do it in a way, so they at least do not feel insulted. Education is all about respect, and that respect should be maintained even in firing someone.
There will be many reasons for firing a teacher. It can be from a student perspective as well as from an institutional authority perspective. However, it has to be from the administration who will control everything regarding firing a teacher. So they must be meticulous in both of these situations.
To understand what is required for an exemption from the instruction, you may view any of the following: improper behavior, incompetence, neglect of duty, it shall be sufficient to comply with the school laws, a convicted criminal, subordinasiyanın the crime, deception, or fraud. The teacher’s behavior needs to fall under that description. The administration must create a form in which all information is given.
Once you have all of the information you have, the question is, what action will be taken against the teacher. If this is the first time that this question has ever been, and that failure is not dangerous, criminal, or immoral, the number will probably have to tell you that they will start monitoring the teacher and teacher as a warning. The school board needs to go through a particular process in order to free up a teacher.
From a Student perspective:
If a particular student is facing issues from a teacher, they must not be too over-smart and overconfident in it. They may be wrong. To remove these shackles, they must communicate with the teacher privately. In this way, everything will clear up. The student will be confident that if their perspective were right, they would complain to the administration. If not, they will sort it out, and everything will be fine. There will be no need to fire a teacher.
From administration Perspective:
The administration can be an issue for firing a teacher. There are many reasons for that, too, like salary problems and unconditional leaves of absence. So the advice for administration should be that they must let it go or give the teacher a chance to work it out. Still, if the teacher is doing the same, then you can take action. The action must be in a mellow way rather than confronting them.
No one likes to be fired, especially from an educational institution. You will get many chances like this, but as a student, you must consult with the teacher yourself rather than complain. The student must be confident to do it. They must be curious about them if they are not delivering 100%, so try it and do not hurry in anything. | <urn:uuid:5206ab40-2719-41c4-af6c-81193396c71e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://naukrisokri.com/how-to-get-a-teacher-fired/ | 2023-09-22T11:06:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.969882 | 624 |

“I just found my new favorite thing.” Jefferson Pierce – Black Lightning
Jefferson Pierce/Black Lightning (Cress Williams) is standing on a rooftop preparing to try out the latest upgrade to his suit from Peter Gambi (James Remar). Jefferson: “Are you sure about this?” Gambi: “In theory.” Jefferson: “That’s not the vote of confidence I was looking for.” The new upgrade allows Black Lightning to fly. After his initial first flight Jefferson gleefully says, “I just found my new favorite thing.” On the rooftop, Jefferson sees some of Freeland’s finest fighting with a youngster on Green Light. They are having trouble bringing him down, so one of the officers pulls out his gun to shoot him. Black Lightning flies down and stops him. He wrestles with the youngster until he shocks him into submission. He orders the officers to call an ambulance and warns them, “Next time, try using a Taser first.”
“The only thing I’m going to measure you for is a coffin.” Peter Gambi – Black Lightning
An alarm goes off in Gambi’s secret lair; Tobias Whale (Marvin ‘Krondon’ Jones III) and his henchwoman Syonide (Charlbi Dean Kriek) are in his shop. Gambi grabs a gun to greet them. Tobias tells him he is there for a suit. Gambi: “The only thing I’m going to measure you for is a coffin.” He tells him they agreed he would never come there. Tobias knows that Gambi worked for the ASA [American Security Agency] so he wants to know who Black Lightning is. Gambi says he doesn’t know, but he does know about the serum Tobias was given to keep from aging and warns him it won’t end up well for him or his sister. Tobias tells Gambi that not telling him who Black Lightning is won’t end up well for him. Gambi pulls his gun out, Syonide pulls hers out, and Tobias decides he’ll see Gambi later.
“I’ve been waiting to knock you out since the sixth grade.” Alana – Black Lightning
Anissa Pierce (Nafessa Williams) is in her room researching enhanced strength online. A conspiracy nut is on talking about the Tuskegee experiments and the lead poisoning in Flint Michigan; he brings up the nine kids in 1987 who exhibited enhanced abilities in Freeland who disappeared. Jennifer Pierce (China Anne McClain) enters her room to borrow a jacket to go skating with her friend Keisha (Kyanna Simone Simpson). After Anissa chases her out, Jennifer meets Keisha at the skating rink. Two girls from a rival high school confront Jennifer. One of the girls, Alana (Whitney Anderson) dated Khalil and she jokes about him being ‘crippled’. Jennifer verbally puts her down, so the two girls prepare to jump her. Alana: “I’ve been waiting to knock you out since the sixth grade.” The two girls try to jump Jennifer but she is too quick and skilled for them; she easily defeats them and breaks Alana’s wrist.
Since Gambi adjusted Black Lightning’s suit for flight, Jefferson has experienced headaches. He’s at the drugstore to get pain relievers when he comes upon a young father with his daughter arguing with the clerk about some expired medicine. The clerk says there isn’t anything he can do about it. Jefferson intervenes and suggests the clerk help the young father. Jefferson experiences a sharp attack of pain and hits the counter with his fist; the clerk gets nervous and retrieves a bat from under the counter. Jefferson to the drugstore clerk: “Look, I promise you that bat is not going to end up where you’re expecting it to.” The clerk wisely puts the bat away. Jefferson helps the young father find some more medicine and offers to pay for it. The young father initially refuses the help, but Jefferson assures him he isn’t giving this to him, if the young father sees someone in need of help, he should pass this on by helping that person. The young father agrees. Jefferson gets a text from Gambi about a warehouse.
Black Lightning arrives at the warehouse. The owner of the warehouse appears with a shotgun aimed at our hero. The warehouse owner says, “Look here, you electrified lawn jockey, you’re a wanted man, and you’re trespassing, which means I can shoot your black ass and I’ll be called a hero.” Jefferson responds “Mother,” and delivers a lightning strike, taking away his shotgun. He asks the owner what’s in the warehouse. It contains chemicals to make Green Light. Jefferson asks who hired him, and the warehouse owner tells him it was Joey Toledo (Eric Mendenhall). Jefferson angrily goes back to Gambi. Joey Toledo was Tobias’ right-hand man. He reasons that if Joey is in town, it could mean that Tobias is too. He wonders why Gambi didn’t know that Joey was back. Gambi pretends he didn’t know. Jefferson rants that if Tobias is back selling Green Light, he has to get him, and even better if he has to go through Toledo. His anger causes him to faint. Gambi calls Lynn Pierce (Christine Adams). He tells her about Jefferson’s headaches and about him acting aggressive. Lynn asks how long has this been going on, Gambi doesn’t know. She asks if this is Black Lightning related. Gambi mention the new function in the suit, which allows Black Lightning to hover. Jefferson creates an electrical surge that affects the machines. He wakes up confused. He tries to get out of the bed so that he can hunt down Joey Toledo but Lynn stops him and asks him to rest while she figures out what’s wrong.
“Wow. This is some ominous lighting.” Tori – Black Lightning
Tobias’ sister Tori (Edwina Findley Dickerson) enters his darken lair. Tori: “Wow. This is some ominous lighting.” She is upset that he went to Gambi looking for Black Lightning. She tells him that it was reckless and warns him that Lady Eve won’t like it. Tobias tells his sister that he isn’t afraid of Lady Eve. Tori: “This is not about fear, it’s about strategy.” He begins ranting about Lady Eve and the board using Black Lightning’s reappearance to keep from promoting him to the board. He is stuck babysitting the One Hundred. When he was still on the city council he had power, and the board treated him as an equal. Tori tells him he has to get over something from the past, their dad Eldridge (T.C. Carson). Tori: “You never dealt with your first enemy, your worst enemy. And you can’t forgive yourself.” She informs him that she has located their father. Tobias goes into a flashback of his childhood. Tori is a little girl, while Tobias is his adult self. Their father comes in complaining about Tobias’ medical bills taking up half his paycheck. He complains that because of his son’s albino condition, he is worthless. Eldridge: “You ain’t black, you ain’t white, you ain’t nothing.” Little Tori (Rayne Caldwell) tries to stand up for her brother, but her father slaps her. Back in real time, Tobias asks where their father is. They show up at their father’s home. Eldridge isn’t thrilled to see his kids. He reminds them he didn’t leave them like their mother did. Tobias agrees and begins to hug his father. He asks Eldridge why he stayed and answers the question himself. His father stayed to make his children’s lives miserable. He breaks his father’s back and drops him on the floor. Tori pulls out a gun to shoot him but he tells his sister to leave their father to die slowly and painfully on the floor.
Anissa does more research on the missing kids. She discovers that the reporter who wrote about their disappearance was her grandfather, Alvin Pierce. One of his stories was about a vaccine. She goes into Jefferson’s room to ask him about her grandfather. Jefferson becomes defensive. Anissa knows that talking about his father is a sore point for him. Jefferson relaxes a little and says, “Your grandfather had a lot of wild ideas about a lot of things,” but he concludes, “Your grandfather always did the right thing…always.” Anissa goes to the Freeland Gazette to talk to its editor David Poe (Antonio Fargas). He is happy to meet her until she asks him about the nine missing enhanced children. He shoots her down and forcefully asks her to leave.
Inspector Henderson (Damon Gupton) heads towards his car when the police cars in the parking lot lights start flashing. He realizes this is the work of Black Lightning. Black Lightning is there to tell Henderson that Joey Toledo is involved in the Green Light trade. Henderson didn’t know that Toledo was back in town. Black Lightning volunteers to work with Henderson in this matter. The toll of Green Light is so heavy on the community that Henderson agrees. Jefferson left a burner phone in Henderson’s car so that he can call him with information on Toledo. Jefferson: “Consider this the Black Signal.” Henderson: “You still got jokes [after Black Lightning quietly disappears]…you still do that.”
“You really want to play with me little girl?” Lynn Pierce – Black Lightning
Alana with her mother Grace (Jessica Fontaine) and her aunt Gina (Vernika Rowe) shows up [with plenty of attitude] at the Pierce’s home to complain about Jennifer breaking Alana’s wrist in the fight. Lynn is able to calm the women down. When Jennifer walks in the house, her parents and Alana’s family are having a pleasant conversation. The women leave giving Jennifer the stink eye. Her parents start in on her. Jefferson: “What the hell were you thinking?” Jennifer: “Okay, look. It wasn’t my fault.” Lynn: “It doesn’t matter whose fault it was. Did you not see the cast on her wrist?” Jennifer explains that the two girls attacked her; Jefferson is impressed she defeated both of them, but Lynn is still mad that she didn’t tell them about the fight. She grounds Jennifer for not telling them about the fight, Jennifer protests and gives Lynn a little too much lip. Lynn: “You really want to play with me little girl?” Jefferson: “Hmm hmm, you don’t.” After Lynn leaves the room, Jefferson asks, “Two girls.” Jennifer: “Two.” Jefferson smiles, he is proud she could defend herself. Sometime later, Jennifer is on the couch sulking about her punishment. Jefferson talks to his daughter about fighting. Jefferson: “Fighting should never be about adding fuel to the fire.” Jennifer: “What about when somebody’s trying to regulate upside your head?” He sympathizes with her.
“All this ass. I’m gonna need something that really fits.” Anissa Pierce – Black Lightning
Anissa goes back to the Gazette; Poe gives her a box of Alvin’s research for his story. He asks her to leave this story alone for her own safety but she refuses. David Poe: “Alvin said it then, and I still believe it to be true today, they’re watching.” Anissa: “Wait. Who’s watching?” David Poe: “I’m sure if you find out you’ll get killed.” Back at home, Anissa looks over her grandfather’s files. She sees a story about a crooked politician, Tobias Whale [who looks the same] and a story about a vaccine causing the enhanced abilities of the nine missing children. Anissa finds a key to a storage facility. She plans to wear her black hoodie to investigate, but Jennifer is wearing it. She puts on the cat suit she wore to the cosplay party at the Red Lipstick, but when she practices some fighting moves, it tears. Anissa: “All this ass. I’m gonna need something that really fits.” Anissa goes shopping for a new superhero outfit. We are treated to a cute montage of Anissa, and the sales clerk Ben (Brandon Sauve) looking at and trying different outfits. Anissa finally picks one that they can both agree on her buying. Ben: “Now you are about to be the fiercest and most fabulous superhero on the block.”
Henderson calls Black Lightning about Joey Toledo. An old girlfriend of his is hanging out with him again. He gives Jefferson her address. Jefferson goes to Gambi’s shop to get the control module for his suit. Gambi tells him he found a problem with the suit’s capacitator, he’ll just need a day to fix it. Jefferson wants the suit now to catch Toledo. Gambi suggests he wait, Jefferson is not in the mood, “Give me the control module or I’m going to Black Lightning your ass!” Tobias gets a letter; when he opens it, dust comes out. He flashes back to when Lady Eve told him the story of some Africans grinding Albinos bones to make magic dust. It’s a warning from her.
“Now you are about to be the fiercest and most fabulous superhero on the block.” Ben – Black Lightning
Anissa goes to the Anvil Storage Facility; the lock for the key is too rusted to open, so she uses her strength to break the lock. In her grandfather’s old storage space, she finds a safe, she uses her strength to open it and she finds a vial of the vaccine. Black Lightning spots Joey Toledo’s ex. He takes her phone away from her and warns her not to speak to anyone about this. He sends Toledo a text to meet her. When Toledo shows up, Black Lightning begins to kick his arse and ask where Tobias is. In the middle of the beating, Jefferson gets a severe headache and collapses to the ground. Now it is Toledo delivering the beating. Jefferson is able to get him off him but his suit malfunctions. Joey Toledo: “He may not have killed you before, but the next time Tobias sees you, he’s gonna finish you, and I’ll bury you.” He walks away laughing at Black Lightning.
Gambi made a few changes on Black Lightning’s suit, enabling him to fly. That’s cool except it seemed to cause some side effects; headaches and an increase in aggressive behavior. Jefferson finds out that Tobias is alive and that makes Jefferson even more aggressive and reckless. This leads him to confront one of Tobias’ men in a malfunctioning suit, leading to Jefferson being on the other end of a beating. We are learning more about Gambi, and it’s disturbing. Gambi has some type of relationship with Tobias. It appears that the agency Gambi was associated with, the ASA might have given Tobias a serum that keeps him from aging. We have to question Gambi’s loyalty to Jefferson. He didn’t tell Tobias who Black Lightning is, but we’ve seen him keep secrets from Jefferson. I believe he’s doing it to protect Jefferson, but it will be interesting to see who Gambi really answers to. While researching enhanced strength, Anissa comes upon a story about nine kids with enhanced abilities disappearing over 30 years ago. The reporter who was covering this story was her grandfather. Now Anissa appears to be following in her grandfather’s footsteps as she begins to investigate the case. In her grandfather’s storage facility, she finds a vial which might contain the vaccine that her grandfather thought might have caused the kids enhanced abilities. Jennifer gets in a fight and breaks the other girl’s wrist. That girl and her friend jumped Jennifer but clearly didn’t know who they were messing with. Finally, Tobias and Tori went down memory lane, and ended up killing dear old dad.
This episode was stuffed with storylines. Some like Jennifer’s weren’t that interesting, while other storylines like Gambi and Anissa’s gave a great deal of exposition that will be important to the show later on. We also learned more about Tobias and what makes him tick. He and Tori came from an abusive background. It bonded them and probably led them down the road they are travelling now. It doesn’t justify the type of man Tobias is, but it gives him more depth. I wonder if Jefferson’s problems were only from the suit, or is his coming back to using his powers damaging his body. They haven’t explained how the electricity in his body works. When he uses it, does it damage his body? He isn’t a young man doing this any longer. Maybe Lynn’s concerns about him being Black Lightning again are more valid than we initially thought.
Aside from being overstuffed, it was a good episode, maybe not as good as the first few, but still good. As usual I enjoyed Anissa the most. Her superhero costume shopping trip was very cute. I can’t wait to find out where Gambi stands, and how Jefferson will react when he finds out Gambi has been keeping the truth about Tobias from him. It won’t be pretty. The action was good, and the humor was handled well. The series hasn’t disappointed me yet.
The music was outstanding again. I get to hear a lot of excellent new music I’m not familiar with and also hear some of my old favorites. Tuck ‘N’ Roll by Durand Jones & The Indications played while Jefferson was practicing flying. Time Off by Starro & Kyle Dion played while Anissa was doing her research. Lost & Found by 1-O.A.K. played at the skating rink where Jennifer beat up her attackers. Buyaka (feat. Stush) by Falcons & GTA played when Anissa dressed in her superhero costume heads to the storage facility. Finally, we get to The Payback by the Godfather of Soul, James Brown. It plays when Jefferson tries to get his payback on Joey Toledo. I couldn’t find No Games from Stella Mwangi but I did find a clip from the show that shows the montage of Anissa creating her costume, while the song plays. | <urn:uuid:7bde21af-b14f-4656-ac8c-7ae977ce0be5> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://nayahscifi.com/2018/02/25/black-lightning-new-outfit/ | 2023-09-22T11:22:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.969016 | 4,125 |
A sermon from Mark 12:13-17 by Fr. Justin Clemente, delivered to the People of New Creation Church (Anglican) on October 30, 2022. Part of our ongoing “The Hard Sayings of Jesus” series.
Even in our digital age, we’re all still familiar with faces on money. Lincoln on the penny, Washington on the quarter and the dollar. Benjamin Franklin’s likeness is on the $100 dollar bill, with his name even becoming a shorthand for the same. What’s the slang for these? Benjamins.
But the Roman money of Jesus’ day was charged and loaded with even more meaning, especially for the Jewish people. The denarius, the coin mentioned in v. 15, was an emblem of Caesar’s authority and even his divinity. It was also an ever-present reminder of Israel’s subjugation to Rome. In fact, on the denarius coin of the emperor Tiberius, which would have been used in Jesus’ day, were written these words: “Son of the god Augustus…Pontif[ex] Maxim[us],” meaning high priest.”[i] This is why it could not be used in the Temple – it had to changed out. Remember, Caesar was not so much a name as a title: it was a constant reminder that he was claiming lordship over all.
But there is a counterclaim. There is a deeper image and a deeper inscription we must all consider today. That is the heart of Jesus’ answer. And that’s where we’re going this morning.
Societally & Politically: Be a Good Citizen
First, although our Lord’s teaching has much, much more to say to us than this, the first takeaway is this: we’re called to be faithful citizens, as much as possible. Which includes, actually paying things like taxes.
Look at verse 13. Where does this question of paying taxes come from? The Pharisees and the Herodians. Not to get political, but to get political this would have been like Beto O’Rourke and Greg Abbott teaming up in Texas. These are two groups normally shouldn’t really be working together. The Pharisees wanted to see Rome overthrown. The Herodians were aligned with the puppet kings installed by Rome. They had a vested interest in seeing the status quo continue.
But Jesus points to a different way, and it’s the one repeated by the Apostle Paul in the plain teaching of Romans 13: “Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.”
Now, there is a line there, because our first allegiance is to the Kingdom of God. When we are asked to sin, then we give the reply of the Apostle Peter and say, “We must obey God rather than men.” (Acts 5:29) We must never forget the many faithful Christians (including St. Peter) who preferred martyrdom, becoming human torches or the food of lions, rather than offer sacrifice to Caesar as an idol. They wanted nothing more than to be good citizens of Rome, yet their dignity and status in the Kingdom of God was more precious than anything – even their own lives.
Today, in our culture, ever more opposed to the Kingdom of God, we must walk as faithful citizens who are yet prepared to be disobedient if we are made to choose. We must walk wisely – as innocent as doves and wise as serpents (Matthew 10:16).
Personally: Give to God What is God’s
One of the things we have to see in this passage is that Jesus is responding, not to an honest question, but to malice and treachery (vs. 13 and 15). As author Jeff Gibbs says, “[Jesus’ answer] is a sort of non-answer to a ‘question’ that does not deserve an answer.”[ii] This group doesn’t really want to hear from Jesus about taxes, they want to destroy him. In the face of this, Jesus’ deepest word is the one he ends with: “Give to God the things that are God’s.”
These words point first to Jesus and then back at us.
First, Jesus. Think of where we are in the Gospels. This controversy comes in the middle of Holy Week. The contrast between Jesus and his opponents (God’s own people!) couldn’t be sharper. They challenge him on coins – but he will be the payment offered up to God for their sins. They wear the mask of hypocrite, while he tells the truth – in fact, he offers himself up as the pure Lamb of God, slain for sinners. Jesus, God the Son, gives to God the Father the things that are God’s. Theologian Arthur Just puts it this way:
“Jesus is the Creator of all things. He has taken on flesh to re-create his creation through death and resurrection, to begin a new creation. Jesus, to whom all things belong, is about to give back to God what rightfully belongs to him: all of humanity…and all of creation.”[iii]
But there is more, and this points back to us. Jesus asks to see the denarius (v. 16), and asks the question, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” Likeness and inscription. Those are loaded Bible words! First, you were made in God’s likeness (Genesis 1:27). You were made to be God’s – uniquely and gloriously! He created you to reflect his glory and to be wholly his. All of this was lost and ruined in the Fall. But God didn’t keep it there. What did he do? We sing it each year at Christmas in the words of “Hark the Herald Angels Sing”:
Adam’s likeness, Lord, efface,
Stamp Thine image in its place:
Second Adam from above,
Reinstate us in Thy love.
So next, inscription. Not only has God created you in his likeness, he has engraved you and written his name upon you in redemption. This word hearkens back to the prophet Ezekiel who said this of the New Covenant:
25 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you. 26 And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules. (Ezekiel 36:25-27)
You have been inscribed and marked by the triune God. By faith in Jesus and your baptism into him, you have been cleansed and consecrated to walk with the living God in all his ways. In fact, in Jesus, you are now part of his new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17) – a foretaste of the new heavens and new earth where everything will perfectly reflect the glory of God. This calls for wholehearted discipleship and stewardship in every of life.
This week, Lucy sent me a story that seemed serendipitous given our passage. David Green, founding CEO of Hobby Lobby, recently announced he would be giving away ownership of his company. The company began in Oklahoma City in 1972 with a $600 loan and “the purpose of honoring God.” The company has grown to be the biggest privately owned arts and crafts retailer in the world. Just this past January, the company was able to raise their minimum wage to $18.50. In addition to that, they close every Sunday in observance of the Lord’s Day and allow employees to close up shop by 8 p.m. every day. That’s different. Green writes, “That bigger mission and purpose helped me realize that I was just a steward, a manager of what God had entrusted me. God was the true owner of my business,” Green wrote. “When I realized that I was just a steward, it was easy to give away my ownership.”
Give to God the things that are God’s. Perhaps you actually thought this passage was just about taxes. Hardly. Just as he did to the Herodians and the Pharisees, so Jesus does to us this morning – he flips the script, paints a bigger canvas, and invites to come with him.
Today begins a month-long focus on stewardship and generosity at New Creation. It is so much more than fundraising campaign. Yes, our lives involve giving back financially to the Lord – in trusting him and honoring him there. But it’s about so much more than that. We embrace five stewardship principles as a congregation. You’ll receive these next week in your bulletin.
The first principle is this: God is the giver of all that we have. What we possess is not earned, but is a gift from him. This includes our whole life: our time, our talent, our treasure.
Today, and this month, out of gratefulness to Christ who gave God his due when we did not and could not, I invite you to reflect on how he is calling you to respond with thankfulness and service in all of your life. Amen.

2010 Hurricane Season Information
Basseterre, St. Kitts – Nevis
September 03, 2010 (SKNIS)
National Disaster Coordinator Carl Herbert is encouraging residents of St. Kitts and Nevis to stay tuned to official media sources as September is traditionally a busy month in the hurricane season.
The past week has seen Hurricane Earl impact the shores of the Federation with tropical storm conditions, and experts feared Tropical Storm Fiona ““ which followed Earl ““ would do the same. While the second threat did not materialize, officials are keeping a watchful eye on two other tropical depressions in the Atlantic Ocean.
“We have to remember that tropical systems are in the atmosphere. They are not in a building locked away [where] we have control of them and can say time to go or not go,” Mr. Herbert told SKNIS. “So we are urging people to pay attention to the forecasts.”
The unpredictability of weather systems was cited as one of the main reasons for constant monitoring.
“Recognizing that the science has not being perfected “¦ it is very important for persons to listen to the forecasts and do their preparations. Some people may say, oh but you know, the storm’s not coming close to us, but you never know, the storm may make a sudden direction shift which could bring it not just on our shores but in our backyard,” Mr. Herbert emphasized.
The National Disaster Coordinator encouraged residents to pay keen attention to the local weather forecasts as those produced by international services will not have the benefit of “on the ground information” to report. He stressed that this becomes even more critical during the passage of a storm.
“We at NEMA are very careful to follow the protocol, which is to work closely with our meteorological office at the R. L. Bradshaw International Airport, which in turn gets information from Antigua’s meteorological services which is the official source for the dissemination of information,” Mr. Herbert noted.
He added that if NEMA were to use secondary information which may result in people being hurt, then his Agency may be held liable. As such, Mr. Herbert encouraged all media houses disseminating information about an approaching storm to collaborate with NEMA to ensure the best advice, information and recommendations are passed to the public. | <urn:uuid:4fdae9cd-85e6-4177-ae2a-dddff2a0fc51> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://nevisblog.com/st-kitts-nevis-residents-asked-to-stay-informed-about-weather.html | 2023-09-22T11:02:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.959686 | 493 |
Social networks have been aflame with jokes, memes and reels about “unidentified flying objects” (UFOs) ever since the U.S. government’s admission of their existence. Black people, in particular, have taken to social media to question, “What does that have to do with me? I have bills.”
The existence of the objects has everything to do with Black people, according to the Teachings of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, the Eternal Leader of the Nation of Islam. The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad started teaching on the reality of the objects as early as the 1930s, before they were ever on the government’s radar. He identified a “Mother Plane” or “Mother Wheel” that carried within her 1,500 smaller wheels, or “baby planes.”
The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, National Representative of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, has since given in-depth accounts and descriptions of the Mother Plane and her smaller baby planes.
On September 17, 1985, he was directly brought aboard the Mother Plane in a Vision-Like Experience in Tepoztlán, Mexico. The 38-year anniversary of his experience has now come to pass. Following his September 17 experience, Minister Farrakhan delivered a detailed press conference at the JW Marriott hotel in Washington, D.C., on October 24, 1989, titled, “The Announcement: A Final Warning to the U.S.-Government,” where he exposed the plans of the U.S. government based on the words he received from the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad during his experience.
“It is perhaps more significant today than ever before,” Memphis-based Student Minister Ilia Rashad Muhammad said to The Final Call, in reference to Minister Farrakhan’s experience. “This experience that the Minister underwent would not just affect him, but would ultimately affect the Nation of Islam, our critics, our enemies, and eventually the world.”
The Great Announcement
The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan opened his Announcement with words from the Book of Ezekiel, Chapter 3, verses 18 and 19: “When I say unto the wicked, ‘Thou shalt surely die,’ and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way to save his life, the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.”
“It is in this spirit that I make this Announcement,” Minister Farrakhan said.
He then detailed his experience. It started with him being carried up a mountain with a few friends. As they reached the top of the mountain, which lies the ruins of a temple dedicated to Quetzalcoatl, the Christ-figure of Central and South America, a Wheel appeared at the side of the mountain. A beam of light came from the Wheel and carried the Minister up into it.
“As the Wheel lifted off from the side of the mountain, moving at a terrific speed, I knew I was being transported to The Mother Wheel, or The Mother Plane, which is a human-built planet, a half-mile by a half-mile, which the Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us of for over 60 years,” he said.
“The pilot, knowing that I was fearful of seeing this great, mechanical object in the sky, maneuvered his craft in such a way that I would not see The Mother Plane and then backed quickly into it and docked in a tunnel. I was escorted by the pilot to a door and admitted into a room.”
While in the room, Minister Farrakhan heard the voice of his teacher, the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, from a speaker on the ceiling.
“He spoke in short cryptic sentences; and as he spoke, a scroll full of cursive writing rolled down in front of my eyes—but it was a projection of what was being written in my mind. As I attempted to read the cursive writing, which was in English, the scroll disappeared and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad began to speak to me again,” Minister Farrakhan said.
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said to him: “President Reagan has met with the Joint Chiefs of Staff to plan a war. I want you to hold a press conference in Washington, D.C., and announce their plan—and say to the world that you got the information from me, Elijah Muhammad, on The Wheel.”
After the experience, events unfolded from September 1985 into February 1986 that caused Minister Farrakhan to slowly realize that the war mentioned by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad was against Muammar Gadhafi and the people of Libya.
While in Tripoli, Libya, on March 16, 1986, Minister Farrakhan repeated his vision publicly to representatives of approximately 80 nations, and he warned President Reagan and then-Secretary of State George Shultz.
“During the confrontation in the Gulf of Sidra between the United States Air Force and the Libyan Air Force, it was reported in the press that a bright orange object was seen over the Mediterranean. The Wheel was, in fact, present and it interfered with the highly sensitive electronic equipment of the aircraft carrier that was in the Gulf of Sidra, forcing it to return to Florida for repairs,” Minister Farrakhan said during his Announcement.
In 1987, a year after Minister Farrakhan publicly announced President Reagan’s plans in Libya, the truth of his Vision-Like Experience was verified in the news. The news that President Reagan and his Joint Chiefs of Staff had secretly planned a war made the front pages and the headlines of The New York Times Sunday magazine and the Atlanta-Journal Constitution.
“In the article which followed, the exact words that the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad spoke to me from The Wheel were found, that the president had met with the Joint Chiefs of Staff and planned a war against Libya in the early part of September 1985,” Minister Farrakhan said.
That war, he said, only served as a sign of “an even more significant and consequential event, which was to come several years later:” that President George H.W. Bush had met with his Joint Chiefs of Staff, under the direction of General Colin Powell, “to plan a war against Black people of America, the Nation of Islam and Louis Farrakhan with particular emphasis on our Black youth under the guise of a war against drug sellers, drug users, gangs and violence.”
After announcing President Bush’s plans, Minister Farrakhan then laid out the operations of the FBI, including the campaign to destroy Black leadership, the dirty tactics used against those who fight for justice, the agents planted in Black organizations, including the Nation of Islam, and the counterintelligence program under FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. He also talked about how the media fed the American public negative portrayals of Black youth and how police instigated gang warfare to justify the government’s plans of slaughter.
Minister Farrakhan closed his Announcement with a warning to the president, the government and the people of America to leave the Nation of Islam alone and to cease and desist from planning against the future of Black people in America and the world.
“I warn you that I am backed by the Power of Allah and His Christ and the Power of that Wheel in which I received this Announcement. And the moment you attempt to lay your hands on me, the fullness of Allah’s Wrath will descend upon you and upon America.
And before you will be able to establish your mockery of me, if that is what you wish to do for what was revealed to me in The Wheel, you will see these Wheels, or what you call ‘UFOs’, in abundance over the major cities of America,” he said.
“And the calamities that America is presently experiencing will increase in number and in intensity, that you might humble yourselves to the Warning contained in this Announcement, or be totally destroyed from the face of the Earth.”
“This is a final warning to you. The ball is now in your court. You may do with it, with me, and with us as you see fit,” he concluded.
Controversy and the Night Journey
Shortly before Minister Farrakhan’s Vision-Like Experience, he found himself in a controversy with members of the Jewish community due to his defense of Rev. Jesse Jackson during the reverend’s 1984 presidential campaign.
Student Minister Ilia Rashad Muhammad, author of the book, “UFOs And The Nation Of Islam: The Source, Proof, And Reality Of The Wheels,” shared that just before Minister Farrakhan left for Tepoztlán, he spoke at a forum in Los Angeles, where members of the Jewish community were chanting, “Who do you want? Farrakhan. How do you want him? Dead.”
“It was these members of the Jewish community that were calling and urging on the Minister’s assassination. So it was under that pretense, if you will, under those conditions, that the Minister left Los Angeles and went to Tepoztlán where he received this Vision,” Student Minister Ilia Rashad Muhammad said.
The atmosphere of hostility concerning Minister Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam was still present when Minister Farrakhan delivered his Announcement. Two weeks before George H.W. Bush was elected president, he delivered a speech at the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles and promised that he would lead the fight “against those whom he and certain leading members of the Jewish community determined to be anti-Semites,” Minister Farrakhan said.
“He indirectly referred to me as ‘the villain.’ Evidence is now mounting that those were not empty words of the president, but those words, as in the past, have been translated into a program, a policy and a war that has been designed to destroy the Nation of Islam and Minister Farrakhan with a particular focus on the growing strength of Black youth,” he added.
The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan’s Vision-Like Experience, which occurred amidst controversy and hostility, is both biblical and Quranic.
Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) received a similar experience amidst a hostile environment. When the Prophet (PBUH) visited the city, Ta’if, shortly after the passing of his uncle and wife, he was met with mockery and ridicule. The people threw rocks at him, causing him to be wounded and covered in blood.
After the Prophet (PBUH) recovered from the attack and re-entered Mecca, he experienced his Night Journey and Ascension, where he traveled from Mecca to Jerusalem in the span of one night. Though the Prophet (PBUH) was called a madman, similar to the labels placed on Minister Farrakhan, like the Minister, he was able to describe in detail his experience.
“Allah blessed him to experience what became known as the Night Journey, wherein he received revelation and was taken into the inner sanctum of Allah. Well, that is a foreshadowing and a prefigurement of the Honorable Minister Farrakhan’s More-Than-A-Vision Experience, where he, too, was taken up into the inner sanctum of Allah where one Mighty of Power had taught him, the Lord of Strength,”
Student Minister Ilia Rashad Muhammad said. “And it is this experience that we read about in the Qur’an and that we read about in the history of the Prophet, and we are actually living the fulfillment of it right now as we speak, and the point person in all of this is that messianic figure among us, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.”
Student Minister Ilia Rashad Muhammad described that the Prophet (PBUH), just like Minister Farrakhan, has human qualities and that the Night Journey solidified certainty from Allah.
“Nobody wants to be rejected. Nobody seeks that type of controversy, that dangerous controversy,” he said. “So this experience came at a time that offered the Minister a level of certainty from Allah, and it is that certainty that has allowed him to withstand the most powerful Satanic forces of this world.”
He shared that everything of significance Minister Farrakhan has done can be traced back to that Vision-Like Experience, from the “Stop the Killing” and “Men Only” tours in the early ’90s to the historic Million Man March on October 16, 1995, which was attended by almost two million Black men.
“The Minister knew the plots and plans that were afoot from the highest echelons of government because he had received divine revelation in the Vision-Like Experience, and that revelation has proven to be a saving grace for Black America,” Student Minister Ilia Rashad Muhammad said.
The government’s continued activity
In 2023 just a few weeks shy of the Minister’s anniversary of his Vision-Like experience, the Pentagon unveiled a new website for the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, the office charged with investigating what the government has dubbed, “unidentified aerial phenomena” (UAP). Via the website, the office has shared “UAP reporting trends,” information gathered on the objects via congressional reports and briefings and press material from the Department of Defense.
The office will soon be accepting reports from current or former U.S. government employees, service members or contractors with direct knowledge of government programs or activities related to UAP dating back to 1945. It will announce when a reporting mechanism for the general public will be available.
Though the government “has finally expressed that they are and have been concerned over the presence of these planes,” Student Minister Ilia Rashad Muhammad said he doesn’t “expect the government to be fully truthful in their efforts, because if they are truly honest and sincere about UFO disclosure, then they would come to those who disclosed this information in the first place, which is the Nation of Islam.”
“But since they have not done so but instead have done just the opposite by trying to censor us and run from the truth that we have that answers these phenomena, then we find most of their efforts hypocritical,” he added.
As for Black people jokingly questioning on social media what UFOs have to do with their everyday livelihood, “if we knew better, Black people would understand that the presence of these so-called UFOs is proof and evidence that a superior power is here on our behalf,” Student Minister Ilia Rashad Muhammad said. “And it is extremely important that we take heed to this reality, because our salvation, our physical salvation, our salvation as a people and our future is directly connected to this reality.”
“Black people should be the first and foremost to be standing and shouting over the fact that there’s a power in the world that is greater and far superior than our oppressor’s power. So only a fool would mock such a reality that governments and militaries have been spending countless billions, even trillions of dollars trying to study,” he added.
“If it’s that important to the most powerful governments and militaries of the world, we would look like a fool trying to mock this phenomena in this day and time when all the evidence proves it to be true. But more importantly, we should be thankful, and we should understand that that power is represented by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.”
Earlier this year, Student Minister Ilia Rashad Muhammad released the first episode of a documentary film series titled, “Answered.” Though the episode is just a prelude that gives an introductory overview of the reality of the wheels, it has received great feedback.
“Every review that we’ve had has been nothing short of spectacular. So, there’s a great anticipation for part two, and that episode of ‘Answered’ will involve the Coming of God,” Student Minister Ilia Rashad Muhammad said. “And fortunately, we hope in the coming weeks to have that available for viewing as well, so get ready.”
The prelude episode can be found on media.noi.org, under the category, “The Wheel.” | <urn:uuid:2ef3ca5a-c587-403e-9f70-bbdd4cab4a61> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://new.finalcall.com/2023/09/19/more-than-a-vision-black-americas-saving-grace/ | 2023-09-22T11:49:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.97328 | 3,505 |
Wild Ford camper concept explores new style of work-from-anywhere RV
Alpine is known the world over for the car audio and infotainment equipment it hawks in 26 different countries. What it isn't known for is designing outrageous, mold-breaking concept vehicles — but it will be from here on out. At this week's CMT camper show in Germany, the company debuted the all-new Cross Cabin Concept, a Ford Transit camper van with a skeletal Japanese-inspired interior optimized for both work and play. The custom work-from-anywhere RV supports two digital nomads with carefully shaped acoustics, productivity equipment that appears when it's needed and disappears when it isn't, and an indoor/outdoor layout that invites passengers into the fresh air, even if they're still working.
Here we thought the Winnebago eRV2 was going to be the most groundbreaking Ford Transit camper van concept we'd see for a while ... or at least this week. We certainly didn't expect Winnebago to be topped by a car electronics company, but Alpine's unconventional design looks to push the boundaries a little farther, despite the van's more conventional ICE powertrain.
A concept RV isn't quite as outside Alpine's wheelhouse as it might seem at first blush. It's an extension of the company's RV navigation and audio business and explores how the ongoing remote work trend might shape the future of RVing and products designed for the purpose.
Alpine started by talking to both new and experienced remote workers. What the company found was that the freedom of working from anywhere has created a need for a new style of "workation" machine, a more productivity focused breed of leisure vehicle designed to serve as both a vacation transporter and a workplace with a better view.
"We started to think of a new type of mobility space that offers the comfort of a traditional camper van yet allows users an optimized ergonomic space for conducting remote work wherever the whim takes them," explained Steve Crawford, director of Alpine's European brand business division. "In other words, a seamless crossover of functionalities for an ideal work-life balance…. hence the Cross Cabin."
It's not easy to create a space that encourages restful relaxation, inquisitive adventure and a dutiful work ethic all at the same time, so Alpine looked to Japanese-inspired functional minimalism and aesthetics. Its design keeps both work and life essentials close at hand but easily stowed neatly out of sight when not in use.
The Cross Cabin's entire interior looks more like sculptural artwork than it does a camper conversion. In place of precisely edged furniture, Alpine lines the 264-in (670-cm) Ford Transit cabin with a series of bamboo ribs, creating a flowing design that erases the divide between structural furnishings and aesthetic trim. The ribs conceal shelves, lighting and audio equipment within the greater aesthetic, and precise contouring at the rear carves out integrated vis-a-vis benches.
The benches work with a transformable central table to create the four-person dinette. In addition to working as a basic dining table or conference table, the tabletop converts over into a folding, laptop-like workstation with 32-in display and integrated keyboard.
Reliable connectivity is ensured via exterior 4G/LTE antennas and an Alpine x Alphatronics Stream high-speed mobile router. The 12-kWh 920-Ah Mastervolt lithium-powered electrical system promises up to three days of off-grid live/work power with the assistance of the 1,200-W solar charging system. Also included is a 3,500-W sine wave inverter and a 50-A DC-DC charger wired to the vehicle alternator.
The acoustic material used in skinning out the interior divides the cabin space into two discrete, soundproofed workspaces, one at the Smart Table and one at the swiveled driver's seat. Alpine further structures the sound zones with long, flat speakers installed inconspicuously in the acoustic paneling.
Around the main Smart Table work area, Alpine cuts down distractions without closing off the outside world entirely by extending its interior paneling over the rear and side windows. Those who prefer to get closer to their surroundings can throw open the rear doors and even slide the workspace outside via the extendable deck and movable Smart Table.
At night, the multipurpose rear lounge becomes the longitudinal bed. The table drops down and a series of cross braces connect the two benches to create a platform supporting the 55 x 79-in (140 x 200-cm) cold foam mattress.
The kitchen's placement inside the sliding passenger-side door sets up an indoor/outdoor design via which campers can swivel it outside for outdoor cookouts. It comes stocked with an induction plate, an extendable counter that uncovers the sunk-in sink and foldable faucet, a compressor refrigerator and an indoor extractor hood. Across the way, the wet bathroom sits behind the driver-side workstation/dining nook, housing a stowable waterless toilet and a shower.
Of course, there's also an Alpine sound system in the driver's cockpit, as well as a 360-degree camera and rear-view e-Mirror. An 11-in touchscreen combines regular vehicle infotainment with smart-motorhome control and monitoring.
While we're loath to say "never" so soon after the equally wild 2019 Hymer Vision Venture concept motorhome gave way to the production Venture S with only a few changes, we're inclined to believe Alpine has no plans of partnering up to launch anything like a production Cross Cabin. The company does, however, plan to incorporate feedback into its next generation of RV product offerings. After the CMT show ends this weekend, it will bring the concept to other events around and beyond Germany throughout 2023.

January 14 – February 27 1994
Offering an array of gluttonous treats, “Bad Girls” displayed a rich Whitman’s Sampler of recent art works, mostly by women, that defy traditional notions of feminine propriety and pleasure. Organized by Director Marcia Tucker and occupying the Museum’s entire space - including the main gallery, New Work, WorkSpace, and the Window on Broadway - the exhibition was presented in two parts, each with a continuously playing video program organized by Cheryl Dunye.
Structured around the idea that humor, ranging from the sardonic to the slapstick, can be a cogent and subversive strategy in challenging many of the conventional, predictable attitudes toward feminist and gender issues, “Bad Girls” aimed for serious fun. In its mission to explode the social inequities of class, race, and gender, “Bad Girls”’ outrageous works focused primarily on the visual arts: painting, sculpture, film, video, and installation. This eclectic mix of multimedia forms, crucially linked to and informed by popular culture, demonstrated a covert alliance with music, television, comic books, cartoons, illustration, fiction and autobiography, and the work of children. The exhibition series also continued the New Museum tradition of introducing to the public lesser known artists along with recently acclaimed ones; presenting 78 artists over the course of its run.
“Bad Girls West,” a sister exhibition which coincided with “Bad Girls”, was organized by guest curator Marcia Tanner for the UCLA Wight Art Gallery in Los Angeles. “Bad Girls West” presented work by 40 artists in a variety of media who wrestle with issues of body image, representation, fashion, aging, and sexuality in the world according to Hollywood. | <urn:uuid:c0220a41-5fb1-4bb9-9b5e-82444f49d32f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://newmuseum.linkedbyair.net/exhibitions/2076 | 2023-09-22T11:49:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.953133 | 370 |

Presented to the committee by Edward R. Sajecki, Commissioner of Planning and building, the current master plan for the current marina site — just southeast of where Stavebank Road meets Lakeshore Road East — has yet to be approved, but presents an ambitious plan for the valuable lakeside land. Proposed improvements include:
- An expansion of Stavebank Road to the end of the existing pier that currently houses Port Credit Harbour Marina and JJ Plaus Park.
- Creation of a pedestrian realm network, including a north-south right of way (which could potentially become a public piazza) and a cyclist-friendly, 49’-wide promenade along the shoreline.
- Construction of new commercial and residential buildings along Port Street East, with a maximum height of six storeys closer to the pier.
- Construction of a “landmark or iconic building,” to a maximum height of 22 storeys, at the tip of the pier.
The current plan also permits space for a full-service marina to continue operating on the site.
“Taken together, these components create a master plan that will transform the site into an exceptional, high-quality waterfront community for future generations,” noted Sajecki’s submission.
“It opens the site for the first time in many years to the public, and allows all residents and visitors to enjoy the water any day of the year.”
Along with the redevelopment of Imperial Lands at 70 Mississauga Road South, the marina redevelopment (dubbed “1 Port Street East”) is a key centerpiece of Inspiration Port Credit, a city-backed initiative to bring more mixed-use and public spaces to the Port Credit waterfront.
Now that the report has been presented to the Planning and Development Committee, the next step – scheduled for later this spring – is to tentatively circulate a Draft Official Plan Amendment, containing revisions based largely on comments received from Mississauga residents.
Mississauga isn’t the first GTA municipality to open up key waterfront sections for mixed-use development. Last year, the City of Toronto unveiled a newly-revitalized Queen’s Quay, which integrated pedestrian- and cyclist-friendly thoroughfares into the condo-heavy downtown corridor. | <urn:uuid:4f9b0a0c-0099-4292-ad1c-c0295523ac02> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://news.livingrealty.com/2016/06/plans-taking-shape-for-port-credit-transformation/ | 2023-09-22T12:06:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.915699 | 477 |
MHM connects to LinkedIn
Last Thursday, the MHM Public Relations department continued the social media and social networking learning series with, "LinkedIn: Building Your Professional Network Online."
This workshop was designed to explore the online medium of LinkedIn by providing attendees with the basic landscape of the professional networking site. As MHM expands its reach through the establishment of a company page on LinkedIn, Facebook page, YouTube channel and organizational Blog, the Public Relations department found ensuring team members feel familiar with such online spaces to be of high importance.
Last week’s workshop examined LinkedIn as a means of establishing professional connections and staying up-to-date with the latest industry related news. More specifically, participants learned how to:
Build their own professional profile;
Add network connections;
Join and create groups;
Follow and research companies;
Discover news on LinkedIn Today; and
Configure account settings.
Participants were first introduced to the various sections that constitute a LinkedIn profile. Further exploration allowed attendees to take a more in-depth look at the editing and customization capabilities provided by LinkedIn, such as the ability to rearrange sections, adjust profile visibility, and tips for optimizing profiles for search engine optimization purposes.
Next, participants examined how LinkedIn Groups and Company Pages work, along with how to receive headline news using the LinkedIn Today feature. Finally, attendees were presented with an outline of the Account Settings area of a basic LinkedIn account.
After an analysis of feedback obtained in a post-presentation survey, it was clear many users were unaware of the expansive features the LinkedIn network has to offer. Attendees reported leaving the workshop with a new-found level of comfort and a revitalized outlook on the LinkedIn platform.

BETHPAGE, N.Y., Dec. 22, 2011 -- Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) has appointed Bart LaGrone vice president, airborne early warning and battle management command and control (AEW/BMC2) programs.
In this position, LaGrone is responsible for the continued development and production of the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye supporting the U.S. Navy's future AEW/BMC2 requirements. The company has delivered nine E-2D Advanced Hawkeyes, including the program's two system design and demonstration aircraft, and is under contract to build 20 more. The U.S. Navy is expected to purchase 75 through 2021. It has also received E-2D export authorization from the U.S. government for the United Arab Emirates and India.
LaGrone is also responsible for managing the support and sustainment of the E-2C Hawkeye currently flown by the U.S. Navy, France, Japan, Taiwan, Egypt and Singapore, and the support and sustainment of the C-2 Greyhound, the U.S. Navy's carrier-onboard-delivery system.
"Bart brings a wealth of experience and hands-on leadership as an E-2D program manager and naval aviator to now lead our AEW integrated product team," said Pat McMahon, sector vice president and general manager, Battle Management and Engagement Systems division of Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems. "He's a great choice to lead the program because he understands both perspectivesâfrom the needs of the warfighter to the importance of successful program performance."
Most recently, LaGrone was the deputy integrated project team (IPT) leader for the Broad Area Maritime Surveillance (BAMS) program. In previous assignments, he served as the IPT lead for the Advanced Hawkeye system development and demonstration program successfully leading that program through its critical design review, first flights and milestone C.
LaGrone joined Northrop Grumman in 1997 as a weapon system operator responsible for conducting the flight test program for the E-2C Hawkeye 2000 and the Cooperative Engagement Capability. He was then assigned as the NC-130H IPT lead before joining the AHE team as the product test IPT lead.
Prior to joining Northrop Grumman, LaGrone was a Naval Flight Officer (NFO) with the Navy. While in the Navy, he was chosen as the first E-2C Group II NFO and assigned to VAW-113 to support the squadron's transition from Group 0 to Group II aircraft and to conduct the E-2C Group II OPEVAL. He was also an instructor at the Naval Strike and Warfare Center at Naval Air Station Fallon. He retired from the Navy Reserve in October 2010âhaving spent much of his time supporting various projects for the NAVAIR Reserve Program.
LaGrone graduated from Vanderbilt University with a Bachelor of Science and earned a graduate certificate in project management from the New Jersey Institute of Technology.

The Oregon Health & Science University School of Dentistry announces the following appointments and awards:Theresa Madden, D.D.S., Ph.D., recently was promoted to associate professor with tenure in the OHSU School of Dentistry's Department of Periodontology. In addition to teaching residents, dental and medical students, Madden conducts clinical, laboratory, and practice-based research related to periodontal disease and systemic health. Madden serves on the OHSU Heart Research Center executive committee and the regional leadership council of the American Diabetes Association. She is regional director for Project MAINSTREAM, providing national interdisciplinary faculty training in substance abuse education (www.projectmainstream.net). She serves as a study investigator for MR.OS (oral bone loss in men at risk for osteoporosis), PAVE (periodontitis and vascular events), and the PROH and PRECENDENT practice-research networks. Madden has studied naturopathic and traditional Chinese medicines to determine their safety and potential to improve oral health.
Curtis Machida, Ph.D., recently was promoted to research professor in the OHSU School of Dentistry's Department of Integrative Biosciences. Machida joined the OHSU School of Dentistry as a research associate professor in 2002, conducting research into adrenergic receptors, which serve as important regulators of central nervous system-mediated behavior and several brain functions, including mood, memory, neuroendocrine control, and stimulation of autonomic function. Alterations in adrenergic receptors have been implicated in the pathophysiology of affective psychiatric disorders, including depression.
Machida also recently received a two-year $302,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Mental Health to examine a group of molecules called nuclear LIM interactor-interacting factors that serve as repressors for specific classes of adrenergic receptors in the brain and heart. Machida and his team recently identified a molecule known as dullard, which is one member of the NLI-IF gene family. The research conducted for the newest grant may someday help scientists understand the molecular basis of depression and how antidepressants work. Overexpression of this same class of adrenergic receptors in the heart also leads to congestive heart failure and the identification of potential repressors could lead to new drugs to treat cardiac failure.
Marvin P. Levin, D.D.S., recently was named professor emeritus in the OHSU School of Dentistry's Department of Periodontology. Levin joined the School of Dentistry in 1980 as an assistant professor and a year later became an associate professor. In addition to teaching, he has participated in many school and dental community activities, including a one-year appointment in 2001 as interim director of the graduate periodontology program. Levin currently teaches periodontology two days a week.
The 105-year-old School of Dentistry is Oregon's only dental school and one of two dental schools in the Northwest. More than 80 percent of Oregon's dentists graduated from the OHSU School of Dentistry.

Internet Expert Viktor Mayer-Schonberger to Speak
In early June, British newspaper The Guardian reported that the U.S. National Security Agency had been collecting the telephone records of millions of Americans under a secret court order. The source was Edward Snowden, who worked for Booz Allen Hamilton, an NSA contracting firm.
And with that revelation, six years after the records began to be collected, the sinister side of “big data” was revealed to the world under the codename PRISM.
“I was surprised by the comprehensive nature of PRISM, but not by the fact that such programs are in place,” says Viktor Mayer-Schonberger, co-author with Kenneth Cukier of the book “Big Data: A Revolution That Will Transform How We Live, Work, and Think” (John Murray Publishers), which was released this year.
Mayer-Schonberger will give year’s Laura Hanhausen Milton First Year Lecture, which will be held Oct. 9 in Goldstein Auditorium. Established in 1997 by a gift to The College of Arts and Sciences from Jack ’51 and Laura ’51 Milton, the lecture series brings a speaker of national/international stature to campus each fall to address first-year students. The lecture is a culminating experience of the college’s First-Year Forum program, a small seminar-like class for incoming students to help them transition to college. The title of Mayer-Schonberger’s lecture is “Big Data: How We Live, Work, Think and Feel.”
The existence of Big Data was inevitable. Internet companies—Google, Facebook, Amazon and the like—collect vast quantities of data about all of us as we go about our business online. There is so much data that companies had to invent new processes for analyzing them, which has led to valuable new insights.
For instance, in 2009 Google created an algorithm that used searches to predict the spread of a new strain of flu virus, called H1N1. The best that the Centers for Disease Control could do was to provide data two weeks after the fact.
It’s the predictive quality of Big Data that leads to its downside. “Big Data analysis is a very powerful tool, and as such it is neither inherently good nor bad, nor is it neutral,” Mayer-Schonberger says. “It has specific qualities and as such lends itself to certain types of analysis …, and may lead to certain types of threat or problems, such as that we abuse Big Data analysis to punish people for acts they are only predicted to do.”
Another issue is lack of privacy. Big Data is a great tool for researching health issues, but it’s easy to trace anonymized data back to the person who provided it.
“The best hope for privacy protection in the future is to constrain the use of data by requiring data users to assess potential risks and harms to individuals before they commence the use of the data, and to put in place stringent and effective safeguards against such harms,” Mayer-Schonberger says. “Privacy is not dead, but the mechanisms through which we protect privacy have to evolve.”
“The topic, Big Data, as covered by Mayer-Schonberger, will play an important role in our students’ lives,” says George M. Langford, dean of The College of Arts and Sciences. “In the college, we educate our students in the knowledge, skills and understanding they will need to thrive in the 21st-century democracy. The Milton Lecture has established a longstanding tradition of bringing distinguished lecturers to campus and introducing students to a wide range of topics beyond their everyday experience.
“Learning how to appreciate the scientific, social and human aspects of Big Data will be part of their liberal arts and sciences here in Syracuse,” Langford says.
Mayer-Schonberger is professor of Internet governance and regulation at Oxford University’s Oxford Internet Institute. He is also a faculty affiliate of the Belfer Center of Science and International Affairs at Harvard University.
He studied law in Salzburg, Cambridge and Harvard and economics at the London School of Economics. He founded Ikarus Software, which focuses on Internet security, in 1986. He was voted one of Austria’s Top 5 Software Entrepreneurs in 1991 and Person of the Year for the state of Salzburg in 2000.
In addition to “Big Data,” Mayer-Schonberger has published eight books and written more than 100 articles and book chapters on the information economy. He advises governments, businesses and non-government organizations on new economy and information society issues. | <urn:uuid:be61a4c4-6be4-48b6-9cd4-bac3dda5d237> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://news.syr.edu/blog/2013/09/30/internet-expert-viktor-mayer-schonberger-to-speak-49969/ | 2023-09-22T12:48:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.947159 | 1,025 |
Why Sr. Cure?
As humankind searches to become the best version of themselves both personally and environmentally, all-natural men’s beard and body care products are not the exception.
Today, men are more conscious of their health, fitness, and dietary habits. One thing that often gets overlooked are the products that we use to cleanse the skin. Many commercially made products are produced with chemicals, synthetic fragrances or synthetic preservatives that can damage the skin rather than nourish it. Because of this, some soaps or men’s care products you buy at the supermarket will cleanse the skin but at the same time dry it out. In contrast, Sr. Cure’s products cleanse the skin without making it dry.
The skin is our largest organ and absorbs everything. Chemicals can go into the bloodstream with the possibility of permanent damage. Today we know that some chemicals used in commercial soaps and body products can affect our hormones, promote allergies, and increase the risk of some cancers. With these considerations in mind, we need to be conscious of what we put on our skin.
Sr. Cure oils and extracts come from certified vendors who collect these ingredients through natural processes. At Sr. Cure they work hard to ensure that their products are free from harmful chemicals or preservatives. Some of the natural ingredients they use are olive oil, organic sustainable palm oil, coconut oil, shea butter, avocado oil, peppermint essential oil and citrus oils, among others.
Sr. Cure’s bath and body care products naturally moisturize and cleanse theskin or hair while preventing bacteria growth without detergent or harsh chemicals. Their organic men’s grooming products have a great variety of natural fragrances for every men and lifestyle.
They do not use any harsh toxins or ingredients in their products. Sr. Cure keeps the packaging as sustainable as possible, leaving aside the fancy wrapping and investing more in the quality of the product.
The use of 100% natural men’s products is a simple change that can be adopted easily and will bring many benefits on the way you treat your skin. Remember to look at the label the next time you purchase your beard and body care grooming products.
Sr. Cure’s Mission
At Sr. Cure, their mission is to encourage and promote the use of all-natural handmade men’s products while working with small businesses and small American farmers. The portfolio of products was specifically developed for men’s skin. Every product is created from fresh quality ingredients which are all-natural with organic and vegan options. The oils and extracts they use are from certified vendors and ingredients are collected through natural processes.
Some of their men’s care line is even USDA certified organic. All Sr. Cure’s products which include beard oils, beard balms, beard washes, soaps and lotions are 100% handmade in their workshop in the USA. Never animal tested.
“Let us help you naturally look good, while reducing the burden on the environment one grooming at a time.”

City providing more options to support business owners
The City of Calgary is piloting an improved service to help Calgary business owners start and open their businesses faster.
“About 80% of people who visit our planning service counter on the third floor of City Hall are served within 20 minutes,” said Michael van Ham, Acting Manager of Customer Advisory Services. “Now they’ll have a business expert who understands the building, licencing and development permitting and approvals involved to open or maintain a business on-hand and they can have those conversations faster."
The improved service for business owners comes at no additional cost to taxpayers and complements our virtual myBusiness hub where business owners can get permitting and business licensing online with the support of a live chat to answer your questions as you work through the process. “As the first in Canada to provide this level of online support, Calgary’s online process is well used, however face-to-face support can sometimes be more helpful which is why we’ve taken this hybrid approach to offer more options to help our business community,” said van Ham.
“Over the past few years, it’s been challenging for Calgary businesses, and we’ve heard that we need to improve how we support citizens looking to start, grow and maintain a business,” said Sonya Sharp, Leader of the Business and Local Economy team. “Improvements like what we are doing for businesses at our counter, or the resources we have made available online are just the start of what we can do. This is an ongoing journey and we’re focused on being business friendly over the long-term and doing everything we can to identify opportunities for improvement to City services to enable Calgary businesses to be successful.”

Press release -
GV30 AIS VHF GPS ANTENNA
December 2013: Digital Yacht have launched a new combination AIS-GPS antenna designed specifically for Class B AIS transponders. It’s a very compact “mushroom” style GPS antenna with an integrated whip antenna to function with AIS receivers and transponders. Despite its compact size, it offers excellent performance as it’s tuned specifically to 162MHz which is the frequency used for AIS transmissions.
All Class B transponders must integrate a GPS which means that installers would have to accommodate a GPS antenna as well as a VHF antenna for AIS functionality. Specialist splitters to share the main VHF antenna are available but they are costly and mean that AIS transmissions are muted when the VHF is utilised. The GV30 is an affordable and easy to install solution.
It’s manufactured from a tough UV resistant ABS plastic and has two 10m coax cables fitted for the transponder. The cables are terminated with a micro sized FME connector to allow the cables to be run through the boat without drilling large holes and Digital Yacht also include a TNC and BNC adaptor to fit directly to the transponder connections. The antenna is fitted with a 1” style threaded base so it will fit any industry standard 1” rail, deck or pole mount bracket.
The GV30 is available now and priced at 115€ excluding VAT. Further details from Digital Yacht TEL +44 (0)1179 55 44 74 www.digitalyacht.co.uk

KOKOMO, Ind. – Adam Smith will be among 25 Indiana University faculty serving as Bicentennial Professors, celebrating the university’s 200th anniversary.
Smith, IU Kokomo associate professor of business, will travel around the state to deliver presentations about his research and professional activities in business and education.
“It’s an honor to be among this group of faculty, representing IU out in the state,” he said. “This is an example of the community engagement I have promoted to students for years. I’m proud I can take a bigger role for IU Kokomo in that regard, and be out in the community.”
In business, he will talk about employee motivation and differences in the workplace, while his education presentations will touch on service learning, student consulting, and teamwork.
His current research focuses on entrepreneurship, and he’s also worked with students on community engagement, visiting interns on site and establishing relationships with their supervisors. He’s also mentored students in the HR Student Association and Enactus as they’ve provided consulting services to area businesses.
“One of IU Kokomo’s missions is to be of service in our region, and to get out in the community and work with businesses, organizations, and individuals, to share what we’re doing, and how we’re preparing our students for the workforce,” he said, adding that it also goes back to IU’s beginnings.
“The Bicentennial Professor program is an effort to get back to our roots, where faculty went out into the state, and shared their expertise,” he said. “We’re bringing that tradition back.”
Smith joined IU Kokomo’s faculty in 2013. He earned a Ph.D. in business administration from the University of Tennessee and a B.S. in Psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Platteville.
He is an Enactus Sam Walton Fellow, and a faculty advisor for the Human Resources Student Association. He has been honored with the IU Kokomo Claude Rich Excellence in Teaching Award and the IU Trustees Teaching Award.
Bicentennial professors represent all IU campuses, and include faculty in medicine, environmental affairs, business, education, sciences, and the humanities. Speaking engagements will be arranged by IU’s Office of the Bicentennial, with plans to reach all of the state’s 92 counties.
The program is part of IU’s continued commitment to public outreach and community engagement. Each Bicentennial Professor will travel around the state delivering public presentations at community forums that describe — in an engaging and accessible manner — some of their research or professional activities.
IU was founded on January 20, 1820, and will celebrate its bicentennial with a multiyear, multi campus program to recognize and chronicle its history, showcase its significant contributions to the world, and set a course for the next century.

In the world of sales, performance isn’t just about closing deals; it’s about understanding the mechanics that lead to those closed deals. The heart of this understanding lies in Sales KPIs and Outbound Sales Metrics. These critical numbers offer a science to the art of selling, giving sales teams the data they need to optimize performance and drive revenue. In this comprehensive post, we’ll dissect these essential metrics, explain how they’re calculated, and discuss how to leverage them for sales success.
Sales KPIs, or Key Performance Indicators, are the vital signs of your sales department. These metrics paint a picture of how well your sales activities align with your objectives, providing quantitative benchmarks against which to measure and improve performance.
What Makes a Good Outbound sales metrics?
A useful Sales KPI should be:
- Measurable: You can quantify it.
- Actionable: It provides insights for improvement.
- Relevant: It aligns with your sales objectives.
Why Sales KPIs and Outbound Sales Metrics Matter
If Sales KPIs are the vital signs, then Outbound Sales Metrics are the diagnostic tests. They offer a more in-depth look into the specifics of your outbound sales activities, such as cold calling, email outreach, and lead generation. Monitoring these metrics alongside your KPIs provides a holistic view of your sales operations.
Key Components of Outbound Sales Metrics
- Lead Generation
- Customer Engagement
- Conversion Rates
Calculating Key Sales KPIs: The Formulas You Need to Know
Understanding a KPI is one thing; calculating it is another. Let’s delve into the math behind some of the most crucial Sales KPIs.
1. Conversion Rate
The conversion rate is a measure of how many leads or prospects take the desired action (e.g., make a purchase, sign up for a newsletter).
Conversion Rate=(Number of ConversionsTotal Leads)×100Conversion Rate=(Total LeadsNumber of Conversions)×100
2. Average Deal Size
The Average Deal Size gives you a snapshot of the value you can expect from each closed deal.
Average Deal Size=Total RevenueNumber of DealsAverage Deal Size=Number of DealsTotal Revenue
3. Sales Cycle Length
The Sales Cycle Length indicates the average time required to close a deal.
Sales Cycle Length=Total Days to Close DealsNumber of Closed DealsSales Cycle Length=Number of Closed DealsTotal Days to Close Deals
4. Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC)
CAC is a measure of how much you’re spending to acquire each new customer.
CAC=Total Sales and Marketing ExpensesNumber of New Customers AcquiredCAC=Number of New Customers AcquiredTotal Sales and Marketing Expenses
5. Customer Lifetime Value (CLV)
CLV represents the total value a customer brings to your business over the entire duration of their relationship with your brand.
CLV=Average Value of a Sale×Number of Repeat Transactions×Retention Time in Months/YearsCLV=Average Value of a Sale×Number of Repeat Transactions×Retention Time in Months/Years
Detailed Look into Outbound Sales Metrics
Outbound Sales Metrics are all about the outreach activities that your sales team engages in. Understanding these metrics can help fine-tune your sales strategies.
1. Cold Call Success Rate
This metric gauges the efficacy of your cold calling strategies.
Cold Call Success Rate=(Successful CallsTotal Calls Made)×100Cold Call Success Rate=(Total Calls MadeSuccessful Calls)×100

Many adults over 60 are fit and agile and live vigorous, mentally alert and healthy lives. As well-being and good looks are important to them, so is an attractive smile. So here we provide valuable information about healthy teeth for adults over 60 years. Because nobody is too old for strong teeth, a firm bite, and a lovely smile.
Firstly, you can preserve your own healthy teeth into old age by good preventive and prophylactic practices. However, should your own teeth be lost, these days your quality of life need not to suffer as there are many options for good, aesthetically pleasing dentures.
For that great smile and healthy teeth in adults over 60 any gaps have to be closed
Missing teeth should be replaced because tooth gaps can have serious consequences. Teeth alongside the gap may start ‘migrating’ into the gap or even start leaning over. This may affect your bite, which could in turn impair the function of your temporomandibular joints. This can make eating and speaking difficult, and vicious circle, that could have far-reaching physical effects, may be triggered.
It may even cause malnutrition as people avoid certain foods because they find difficult to chew. This can, of course lead to deficiency diseases. Not having an attractive smile with healthy teeth and finding speech problematic, could also affect their sense of well-being and trigger psychological problems.
Patients with gaps in their teeth should therefore consult their dentist as soon as possible. Fixed bridge, removable dentures or dental implants are just some of the options available to patients these days. New dentures can be created depending on the patient’s individual requirements and financial resources.
A toothless jaw no longer presents an insurmountable problem
The times when dentures wobbled loosely in Grandma’s mouth, or Grandpa couldn’t eat lovely crispy bread with his artificial teeth are no more, nor will dentures be sitting in the water glass next to the bed! Thanks to modern dental technologies and high quality materials these days, it is possible to create highly aesthetic, functional and durable dentures, thus ensuring an attractive smile, a firm bite and clearly legible speech.
That’s why dentists and dental technicians can say that they don’t make ‘artificial teeth’. Instead, they can justly claim that they create natural-looking teeth that feel just like real teeth in the mouth – strong teeth that are beautiful and healthy, fit firmly in the patient’s mouth and therefore contribute to the patient’s positive attitude towards life.
Even if the patient’s jaw is toothless, it is possible to live an unrestricted life with these well-made dentures that successfully replace their natural teeth. These dentures have been tried and tested for decades. When indicated, for instance by the patient having a sufficiently healthy jawbone, these high-quality dentures sit firmly and securely in the mouth.
Dental implants are an innovative dentistry procedure that is also available to most of the patients these days. Small titanium screws are implanted in the toothless alveolar ridge and form an anchor for new dentures so that the dental technician can create a perfect imitation of natural strong teeth in adults over 60. In fact, thanks to modern materials and advanced dentistry techniques, individual dental prostheses will hardly differ from the patient’s original natural teeth.
Oral health is essential as you move towards and into old age
Whether you have your natural teeth or dentures, good oral and dental care is essential for a healthy mouth and teeth. So always adhere to a good and regular oral hygiene regime at home, and visit your dentist’s office regularly.
This way you will ensure that you have a firm bite and your beautiful smile continues into old age. | <urn:uuid:bff54477-f691-4423-93be-dc14132f1e61> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://nextsmiledental.com/dental-implants/healthy-teeth-for-adults-over-60/ | 2023-09-22T11:17:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.93632 | 779 |
A long-awaited feature by many fans will soon find its way to Destiny 2: We’re talking cross-play support!
Hard to believe, but true! Bungie has listened to its fans and announced in a recent post that they are in the midst of preparing to support cross-play in Destiny 2. There has already been a testing phase for this in the past.
In season 15 it will be official, because it will be the season in which the cross-play functionality is given in the game. players on xbox, Playstation, Stadia or on PC can then form a unit together and take on the risks in the game.
For this purpose, some changes are made, which even begin with the name of the player. Here each guardian is given a Bungie name that does not differ on different platforms. The only way to find out what platform a team member is currently on is by an icon next to the player’s name.
Speaking of your teammates, all the players you have added as friends will remain in your friends list. An additional filter option allows players to be shown only on certain platforms.
If you are currently lacking friends, you can use Fireteam Finder, which also shows you players on other platforms. Maybe there are new colleagues who were only using Xbox until now? You never know!
You can find more information about crossplay support over here. Which friends on other platforms will you collaborate with?

Montgomery County public schools approved a $1.3 million annual contract on Tuesday to lease electric buses from Highland Electric Transportation, replacing its full fleet of over 1,400 buses by 2035. While e-buses are generally more expensive than conventional ones, Montgomery County isn’t spending any additional money because it is leasing the buses instead of purchasing outright. That means Highland Electric takes on that initial higher cost of the Thomas Built buses with Proterra batteries, which the company will then recoup over the life of the lease through lower costs of use. Electric buses require less upkeep and fewer spare parts, so upkeep is only half the cost of a conventional fleet, making them cost-effective over the long term.
Meanwhile in the UK, First Bus announced a trial of e-buses produced by Arrival in “microfactories”, as part of their work to meet a pledge to stop buying diesel buses after 2022 and be fully clean by 2035.

Recovery and repair efforts continue in northwest Wisconsin with the assistance of more than 70 members of the Wisconsin National Guard who have been called to state active duty to assist local agencies in areas that were affected by major flooding and damaging winds last month.
Gov. Scott Walker declared a state of emergency for nine Wisconsin counties and one tribal government in the wake of the July 11 storms, which authorizes Wisconsin’s adjutant general, Maj. Gen. Don Dunbar, to call National Guard forces to state active duty to assist local authorities with recovery efforts.
Serving on state active duty in times of emergency is at the core of the National Guard’s unique dual-mission as the first military responder in the homeland and as the primary combat reserve of the Army and Air Force.
Elements of the Wisconsin Army National Guard’s 724th Engineer Battalion headquartered in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin — and specifically the Prairie Du Chien and Platteville, Wisconsin-based 229th Engineer Company — along with route clearance teams from the Wisconsin Air National Guard’s Madison, Wisconsin-based 115th Fighter Wing and Milwaukee-based 128th Air Refueling Wing make up the task force responding to the request for Guard assistance.
Maj. Joseph Davison, Executive Officer with the 724th Engineer Battalion, 157th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade (MEB), has been serving as the Joint Task Force-Engineer Commander for this state active duty operation. The task force includes members from both the Air and Army National Guard who have been working on debris clean up and road repair at multiple sites within Iron, Ashland and Bayfield Counties.
Davison elaborated on the work that the National Guard is currently completing.
“We’ve really had two major missions since we’ve been up here for these past couple weeks,” said Davison. “With the debris removal we’ve operated in six townships and Bayfield County, and now this week we’re working in Saxon Harbor. The other mission we’ve had is road repair of damaged township roads both in Bayfield and Ashland Counties. That’s the mission that requires the most extensive work and we know that we may be asked to do that for a while longer.”
2nd Lt. Amanda Dickenson, an aircraft maintenance officer with the 115th Fighter Wing, and the Air liaison officer working to coordinate between the Airmen and Soldiers serving on this state active duty mission, discussed the joint mission for the Air and Army National Guard Units.
“A lot of what we are doing is facilitating Army operations so that they can get in and do what they need to do more efficiently,” said Dickenson. “The Air Guard’s primary mission has been debris cleanup which allows the Army units to come in after and complete the road repair missions.”
Sgt. 1st Class Jeremy Grams with the 950th Engineer Company, 724th Engineer Battalion, 157th MEB, is the non-commissioned officer in charge of a crew that is currently working in Saxon Harbor and discussed how supportive the people they are helping and working alongside have been.
“Anyone we have dealt with, whether they are the civilian contractors, the local populous, or local officials have been supportive, have worked with us, have thanked us continually for whatever support we can give,” said Grams. “We’ve told them we’ll do whatever we can as long as we’re here.”
Currently the recovery efforts involve debris clean up at Saxon Harbor and road repair in Ashland County. The Wisconsin National Guard continues to monitor the situation in Northwest Wisconsin to coordinate and provide timely responses to civil authorities as requested.
On August 9, Gov. Walker announced a Federal Emergency Management Agency major disaster declaration for eight northern Wisconsin counties and the Bad River Band of the Lake Superior Chippewa Tribe. Gov. Walker issued the following statement on the federal disaster declaration:
“This declaration allows local governments affected by the July floods to apply for assistance, which will help communities recover some of the costs incurred through fighting the floods and repairing infrastructure such as roads and removing debris,” Walker said. “We will continue to work with the communities to help them quickly recover from the flooding.”
Davison discussed the need to prioritize the efforts of the National Guard units.
“While we’re here we want to make the most impact we can in the highest priority areas,” he said. “Restoring access and ensuring that school buses are able to travel in safe routes and EMS services, postal services, all those things that are essential to communities are what we are trying to focus on.”
Local Saxon Harbor resident Grace Hines stated she now sees a future for restoring the area especially with the aid of the National Guard.
“There is hope beyond hope,” said Hines. “It’s a great thing. It’s certainly helping us.”
To date Wisconsin National Guard Soldiers and Airmen have assisted the people and communities of northwest Wisconsin with debris removal in Bayfield County (Barksdale, Port Wing, Tripp, Eileen, Pilsen, and Iron River), Sawyer County (Spider Lake), Ashland County (Marengo), and Iron County (Saxon Harbor). Guard engineers have completed road repairs in Bayfield County’s Lincoln Township, and continue road damage repair projects in Marengo and Ashland.
Previously, a team of approximately two dozen Wisconsin National Guard engineers from the 724th Engineer Battalion previously assisted the Wisconsin Department of Transportation in completing road damage assessments in July and provided their findings to Wisconsin Emergency Management. Those teams assessed more than 180 sites in Sawyer, Washburn, and Bayfield counties after eight to 12 inches of rain fell in a matter of hours across the region July 12. Local authorities requested assistance from the Guard to assess restoring infrastructure to damaged town roads in more rural and isolated areas where local resources are limited.
Meanwhile, Soldiers from the 2nd Battalion, 238th Aviation, based in West Bend, Wisconsin, also assisted with the flood response when they responded July 13 to a medevac mission for five citizens of the Bad River Tribe who needed air transport to Ashland, Wisconsin, for dialysis treatment. Road access to the Bad River Reservation had been cutoff in the aftermath of the storm.
The Guard remains ready to assist local authorities and the people of northwest Wisconsin with additional missions as requested. | <urn:uuid:a24e1864-e824-4f67-964b-9ff6c8da6ecd> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://ng.wi.gov/news/16076 | 2023-09-22T10:42:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.958682 | 1,364 |

Winner: Penrith City Council for Places of Penrith - Developing a place-based strategic framework
Council has developed a suite of city shaping strategies for a place-based approach across the city. The strategies are:
Each strategy is underpinned by research, spatial analysis and social, economic and environmental criteria-based prioritisation.
A transformative redevleopment underpinned by a collaborative partnership with site tenants delivered a new, sustainable, purpose-built community facility at the Cockburn Wetlands Precinct in the Bibra Lake A-Class Reserve.
Commendation: Melton City Council for Cobblebank Indoor Stadium
City-wide strategic planning identified the need for a new school and social infrastructure in the growth area suburb of Angle Vale. Council advocqacy led to early engagement with the Education Department and a partnership to incorporate shared-use facilities. A 30 year Council Enhancement Deed between project partners TESA Education, Department for Education and the City of Playford formalises the collaboration and ensures the longevity of the facility usage.
Council redeveloped Melton Central Community Centre into an integrated hub with a new building and service model. The Centre co-locates service providers including Djerriwarrh Community and Education Services, Catholic Care and MiCare to provide a safe, welcoming and inclusive destination.
With high growth and high unemployment, Council's advocacy has focused on expediting State Government delivery of the Indian Ocean Gateway - a container port long identified in plans. The City executed a strategic advocacy framework that in 2017 led to the commitment of the then shadow government to plan and construct the new port.
Commendation: Wollondilly Council for Wilton Health and Wellbeing Strategy
Development in the Playford Growth Area is on privately-held, fragmented land between two rural townships with inadequate existing infrastructure, complex legal arrangements and multiple stakeholders. Andrew Smith has established credible and trusted relationships with landholders, State Government, service providers and developers, and has been critical to securing funding and delivery of infrastructure.

RLNG producing costlier power than furnace oil
ISLAMABAD: Power plants running on RLNG (re-gasified liquid natural gas) at the cost of $12.80 per MMBTU are more costly if compared to the plants running on furnace oil as fuel, this was disclosed in the official correspondence copy of which is available with The News.
The documents about LNG price also available with The News divulge that margins of PSO, gas utilities and terminal charges and general sales tax have increased the price of RLNG for power by $3.83 per MMBTU up to $12.80 if the cost and freight price of LNG stands at $7.97 per MMBTU.
The bringing down cost of doing business and making the electricity availability affordable is still a distant dream and the basic spirit expressed by the government behind import of LNG to scale down the power tariff and provide a major solace to the consumers seems to have vanished.
According to the official letter of General Manager (system Operations) in both the state owed companies that include National Power Control Centre (NPCC) and National Transmission and Dispatch Company (NTDC) written to Mr Shaheryar Qazi General Manager of Sui Northern Gas Pipeline Centre on July 29, 2015 with the subject ‘Low Consumption of RLNG Swap Gas by Power Plants’, it has been clearly mentioned that the electricity being generated on furnace oil is more cheaper than the electricity being produced by power plants running on RLNG swap gas.
The letter exactly mentions: “Since RLNG swap gas is being allocated to KAPCO (Kot Addu Power Company), FKPCL (Fauji Kabirwala Power Company Limited), Orient, Saif and Saphire power plants. NPCC has the prime responsibility to run all the power plants as per merit order prepared by the Authority.” The letter further says: “As per merit order plants running on RLNG swap gas are more costly as compared to plant running on furnace oil.”
Secretary of Ministry of Water and Power Younas Dagha when contacted said: “I have not seen this correspondence.” However, he also disclosed that RLNG will replace diesel only, not furnace oil as fuel.
Independent experts say that it is really shocking news that RLNG will replace the diesel in power plants not the furnace oil. “This means that electricity generation by RLNG is more costly than the electricity of furnace oil based plants.”
The substantial increased margins of gas companies such as importing agency – PSO on re-gasified LNG (RLNG) have further burdened the consumers.
The exchange of RLNG with local gas will ensure more local gas supply to end users, but that additional gas will be included in the Unaccounted For Gas (UFG). ‘Pay and take penalty’ clause means that if the government fails to utilize the imported gas, or in case the LNG vessel is not used for country consumption, the loss to the LNG carrier will be borne by the masses and revenue loss means if the private companies or power sector fails to consume the RLNG or in case some of RLNG is, somehow, used by any consumer due to any fault, the loss will be recovered from the end users – the consumers, of course, through tariff.
According to the official documents about another LNG transaction available with The News, the DG Gas on a letter written on April 21 to Ogra disclosed that the imported cost of LNG stands at $8.52 per MMBTU on which LNG terminal services charges stands at $1.46 per MMBTU. The $8.52 landed price of LNG per MMBTU is too much as on April 15, it was available in open market at $6.9 per MMBTU.
The Port Qasim charges stand at $1 million per cargo (48 cents per MMBT). Pakistan State Oil which is at loss on account of circular debt has increased its margin to 4 per cent (34 cents per MMBTU) from 3 percent. Now in the revised draft of tripartite agreement with Sui Northern and Sui Southern, the state owned Pakistan State Oil has further increased its margins from 4 percent to 5 percent. Likewise, FED, Sindh Tax and withholding tax have been levied by 1-1.5 percent. On top of that SSGC and SNGPL will equally but separately take the administrative charges of 5 percent per dollar (34 cents per dollar). In addition, SSGC will take transmission charges of 28 cents per MMBTU and SNGPL 52 cents per MMBTU.
The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has raised objections over four percent margin for Pakistan State Oil (PSO) on import of LNG, saying that consumers should not be unnecessarily burdened.
According to well-placed sources, Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources, in its draft summary of April 2, 2015 provided that it intends RLNG pricing in line with pricing of other petroleum products on monthly basis and accordingly relevant schedule of Petroleum Products (Petroleum Levy) Ordinance 1961 are being amended to declare RLNG as a petroleum product.
Accordingly, RLNG price shall be notified on monthly basis, as decided by the Federal Government. The OGRA maintained that eventually entire RLNG supply chain is required to be governed by a proper regulatory framework under OGRA Ordinance. Therefore amendment to OGRA Ordinance will be appropriate to regulate this activity.
OGRA commented on “LNG Price” saying that “take or pay volumes, losses on account of net sale proceeds” were not included under this head earlier approved by the ECC. The same have now been added without mentioning its basis. Therefore, MP&NR is required to elaborate the nature of such expenses along with rationale and this cost should not be recovered from the end consumer.”
The regulator which remains dysfunctional argued that import of LNG is being handled by the federal government. Accordingly, LNG price including take or pay volumes, losses on account of net sale proceeds and relevant adjustments due to exchange rate forming the LNG price may be provided by the federal government for inclusion in monthly price computation.
This will require specific pricing methodology and comprehensive mechanism to ensure transparency in the entire LNG procurement process.
In this case, Take or Pay component is the responsibility of the defaulter which should be accounted for separately and may not be treated as part of LNG price. | <urn:uuid:c101a775-0d37-40a0-bcf1-6cd695f5ee14> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://ngsindia.org/news/rlng-producing-costlier-power-than-furnace-oil/ | 2023-09-22T12:12:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.947767 | 1,350 |
Agility Fuel Solutions, a business unit of Hexagon Composites ASA, and XStream Trucking have entered an agreement whereby Agility will be the exclusive distributor of Xstream’s TruckWings aerodynamic systems for compressed natural gas (CNG) trucks in North America. Agility will also distribute TruckWings on a non-exclusive basis to the diesel truck market.
The patented TruckWings design incorporates folding panels made of impact-resistant, glass-reinforced composites attached to the rear sides and roof of the cab that automatically swing out to close the cab-to-trailer gap at highway speeds and retract against the rear of the cab at lower speeds to leave room for turning maneuvers.
“TruckWings is the first device that completely solves the turbulence problem created by the open area between the tractor and trailer that contributes significantly to a truck’s overall aerodynamic drag,” says Daniel Burrows, founder and CEO of XStream Trucking. “We are pleased to now partner with Agility to offer TruckWings as a factory option for CNG trucks in North America.”
TruckWings can be added as a standalone aerodynamic package or as an option integrated onto Agility’s ProCab 175 CNG fuel storage systems for class 8 trucks. Agility’s ProCab 175 features an integrated fuel management module and optional Blue iQ technology. Blue iQ features a suite of intelligent driver and service tools that are integrated with Cummins-Westport’s ISX12N near-zero-emissions natural gas engine. ProCab 175 CNG fuel storage systems offer over 800 miles of driving range and are widely used by over-the-road carriers putting in extensive miles that can benefit from the increased fuel economy provided by TruckWings.
Agility is a supplier of on-board CNG storage systems for commercial vehicles in North America. Agility and XStream Trucking have previously partnered to provide TruckWings systems for over 750 CNG trucks used by major fleet operators. Agility’s leadership in providing clean fuel solutions for commercial vehicles coupled with its extensive customer base and value-added aftermarket services will expand XStream’s TruckWings solution to reach the growing CNG truck market throughout North America, notes the company.

Fortnite-maker Epic Games filed its opening briefing to the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The company seeks to overturn the previous ruling in its lawsuit against Apple, which determined that the iPhone-makers control over the App Store doesn’t qualify as a monopoly.
As pointed out by The Verge, this marks the first time Epic has laid out its appeal argument at length since the company announced it would appeal the decision in September.
Epic wrote in the filing that the “district court’s factual findings make clear that Apple’s conduct is precisely what the antitrust laws prohibit.”
The company reiterated allegations that Apple requires developers to exclusively use its App Store to distribute apps and use its in-app payment processing platform. It’s worth noting in-app payments are one area where the courts sided with Epic, handing down an injunction against Apple that required it to allow third-party payment systems on iOS apps.
In the original ruling handed down in September 2021, Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers determined that Apple was engaging in some anti-competitive practices, but wrote that the “court cannot ultimately conclude that Apple is a monopolist under either federal or state antitrust laws.”
Since then, both companies have appealed the ruling and Epic’s CEO has frequently complained about Apple on Twitter.

The NIPYATA! Tours an Amsterdam Coffee Shop (Where they don't sell coffee)
Holland: the land known for tulips, wooden shoes, cheese, and of course, sex workers and marijuana. Amsterdam in particular is Europe’s Sin City, and as a result is the location of many British stag parties and drug-induced stupors- perfect for a NIPYATA! Adventure.
I live in Amsterdam, and wanted to take NIPYATA! on a tour of the best that the city has to offer. So on a typical rainy day, Nippy the NIPYATA! head joined a friend and I for a smokey afternoon.
Please excuse the low-quality iPhone photos; my camera broke halfway through this excursion.
Weed in Amsterdam is kind of confusing. Unlike in the U.S., there are no “weed stores” (what we call dispensaries) that sell only marijuana. This is because the substance is actually technically illegal, so there can’t be stores that are outright for the sale of weed. Instead, marijuana is considered a “tolerated soft drug”, so the government essentially turns a blind eye to the sale of it, rendering it essentially legal in places like Amsterdam.
As a result, if you are looking to imbibe, don’t look for a dispensary. All you have to do as you wander through the city is find one of the hundreds of store fronts that contain the words “Coffee Shop”. These are the places that you can buy weed (and coffee), and aren’t to be confused with “cafes” like Starbucks.
Thankfully, our NIPYATA! didn’t have the awkward experience of walking into a Starbucks looking for weed. Instead, he cycled with us to a favorite local place: The Green House.
"We visited the Green House - the very coffee shop where Ali G famously interviewed former UK Prime Minister Sir John Major on legalization of cannabis. We might have this fact wrong. The Amnesia Haze is stronger than we expected. The NIPYATA! is now speaking fluent French and we're understanding every word."
Located near Waterlooplein, an area that is fairly close to the city center but isn’t as swarmed with tourists as Dam Square, the Greenhouse is a great place to sit outside and watch the world go by. Just around the corner from where Rembrandt lived and graced the world with some of the finest masterpieces known to man, we bought a gram of Amnesia Haze and sat down to begin our adventure.
While you can buy pre-rolled joints at most of these places, we chose to roll our own while sitting outside of the shop. Nippy was actually our greatest ASS-et (get it? He’s a donkey?) in rolling the joint: it was a typical windy day, and the cavity of Nippy’s head gave us a place to store the weed while we crafted our smokable masterpiece.
After rolling, we lit that shit up and sat back to smoke, chat, and talk about life. My friend brought her dog along, and once we were good and high we sat laughing at the tiny wiener dog trying to play with a huge stick and attack pigeons.
"Angsty wiener in the background. Also speaking French. Amnesia. Haze. Muy. Fuerte."
Our NIPYATA! loved the coffee shop’s offerings, but there was one negative to the adventure: there was no food, and Nippy was getting hangry. The Stay Classy Burrito NIPYATA! made it very clear that he wanted a burrito, so we made our way to the Dutch version of Chipotle before Nippy got too mean.
After our pit stop, we biked back to my apartment because it was too cold to eat outside. We ate our amazing burritos and started watching some TV when I realized Nippy had gone missing!
"Nap-yata. The nerve of that guy."
Turns out that imbecile had the nerve to sneak off and crawl into my bed for a post-smoke nap. I had to wake him up and kick him out so I could get some rest for the following big day of weed smoking and jack-assing around Amsterdam.
Overall, I think our NIPYATA! had a great time on his first tour of Amsterdam and is excited for the many adventures to come.

Nigeria at 61
Lending her voice to the celebration of Nigeria’s 61st independence today, speaking with KEMI AJUMOBI, Nonny expressed her opinion on our achievements, challenges and the way forward. Here is what they she has to say. Excerpts.
As I contemplate the fact that our beloved Nigeria is celebrating 61 years of existence as an independent country, I reflect on the importance of our context and history and recall the introduction to the song “Another Story” by Nigerian Afro fusion musician, Burna Boy, spoken by the investment banker turned political filmmaker, Jide Olanrewaju, which simply states- “To understand Nigeria, you need to appreciate where it came from”.
It is important to understand how far we have come as a nation. Since independence, Nigeria has experienced four republics, military regimes, war and insurgencies, health and social crises, mismanagement of resources, brain drain, and continuous devaluation of the Naira- just to name a few.
Despite these challenges, we have also witnessed a rise in SMEs and MSMEs, emergence of young professionals that have risen to become captains of industries-spear-heading innovations in various professions and areas; Nigerians making remarkable and record-breaking impacts all over the world, not only in the country. With these achievements in mind, I would argue that Nigeria is a resilient nation and that it is able to attain greater heights as a country if we work collaboratively towards solving our societal problems.
There is, therefore, an urgent need for us to rethink our policies to focus on outcomes and value creation, social, economic, and environmental value, rather than on activities and transactions. It is also important for us to employ a challenge-led innovation approach, by focusing on solving the problems articulated by the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to navigate our development.
Two opportunities come to mind for consideration. The first is the challenge of youth development. This is an important societal problem to solve, with 60% of Nigeria’s working-age population being under 34 and unemployment for people aged 15 to 24 at 53.4% as at March 2021, according to a Bloomberg report.
One recommendation is a bottom-up approach that actively involves young people in defining the problems that they face, and in co-designing and implementing solutions that they consider relevant, viable and sustainable in the twenty first century. This contrasts with imposing top-down solutions that may not be relevant or impactful in the long-run.
The second problem to solve, is that of degenerative linear economy model that has become unsustainable. It is imperative that we adopt the alternative and viable circular economy model. This is a regenerative, distributive, and inclusive model. One major resource that we haven’t fully utilised is our waste. Waste can be used to produce renewable energy, fertilizers for our crops and recycled for other products. I would argue that paying attention to waste and moving away from linearity would lead to ripple effects and great outcomes such as improved employment statistics and environmental resilience for the country.
In closing, I wish Nigeria a happy independence and pray that we endeavour to collaboratively construct a sustainable country for future generations! | <urn:uuid:9ddf92a6-cdad-464e-9bee-aed41049431d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://nonnyugboma.com/2021-international-youth-day-the-development-of-nigerian-agricultural-innovation-system-nais-2/ | 2023-09-22T11:05:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.950409 | 669 |

Interlocking Concrete Pavers
CALL US: +1 760 622 0812
Have you ever seen a house whose beauty was lost in the unattractiveness of its exterior? Homes with plain or unattractive exteriors tend to lose their value because people generally focus on what they see on the outside. This is why it is important that homeowners maintain the outside areas of their property. If the exterior of the home is properly arranged, it will leave a good impression in the mind of their visitors, and also gives homeowners a pleasant feeling when coming home to a nice exterior. This is why homeowners should do as much as they can to beautify the area around their homes.
One such method available to homeowners to improve the outside surroundings is adding pavers. Paver products are an excellent way to add beauty to the outside of your home, while also adding value. To achieve these benefits you will need to hire a good hardscape contractor in order to get proper paver installation done to your property.

something beautiful. My new favorite song, scroll down in the player till you find it.
I love my neighbor, but when it’s hot and we’ve all got our windows open, I don’t love listening to her tv. Some poor man is crying and it sounds like he’s right here in this sauna of a bedroom with me and my snoring, sweaty girls. Nate and Willow have both got a low grade temp, and they are chilled and sweaty and wanting covers, but, well, maybe no covers,or, maybe a sheet, but ohmygod, the sweat! Make it STOP, Mom!
Now there is a woman sobbing on the tv next door. We’re coming up on 10 pm, so maybe this is just the dramatic ending. Last year’s fans wouldn’t work this year, and since I haven’t replaced them yet, I can’t crank them up to drown out the noise.
I really and truly do love my neighbor, though. She’s great.
I got two tax-related items of mail today. The federal govt says that they aren’t sure if they are going to accept my payment plan proposal or not, but in the meantime, DO NOT FUCKING FORGET TO PAY. (Okay, the fucking was only strongly implied. I know how to read between the lines.) The state didn’t even acknowledge my offer, and instead just sent me a bill, due in less than a week, in full. I’m just going to send another installment, let the interest and penalties build up, and hope they don’t attach my wages or something.
The tv next door is still on. I am going to try and sleep through it. Maybe I’ll grab my iPod and let my boyfriend Ira Glass tell me a bedtime story. | <urn:uuid:e09f04fe-1048-4408-94fd-573d85e8ed88> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://not-calm.com/you-make-me-wan/ | 2023-09-22T11:20:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.951723 | 396 |
Learning how to overcome procrastination and being unproductive in our marriages, family and business endeavors. Create routines that allow us to be present with our family and avoid feeling like the days are passing and accomplishments are minimal.
It seems as if every day you wake up bright and early, go nonstop until your head hits the pillow at night, and as you drift into sleep you ask yourself, “What exactly did I accomplish today?” Busy being unproductive! It’s a challenge we all face at some point.
Laundry, dishes, Grocery store runs, paying bills, more laundry… and this list doesn’t even include kid related tasks. It is overwhelming. The weight of the household is on our shoulders. And with our task list building up, we wonder where do we even begin?
Before the mom guilt sets in on our “unproductive” lifestyle, let’s pause and change the definition of what productive means. In our minds we put pressure on productivity to mean getting tangible things done. Productive can also be defined as being present with your child, being patient when they push your buttons, and giving yourself a moment to take a deep breath when you feel yourself getting overwhelmed.
A great way to shift the “busy” routine, is to get everything out of your head and on paper. Bullet journaling is a great way to do this! It is meant to help you track the past, organize the present, and plan for the future. Not only do you write down things you need to do, but you acknowledge things you completed, as well as reflect on things you would like to work on. Once you have your Bullet Journal entry complete, you then prioritize your list. Prioritizing tasks makes the list more realistic and manageable.
At the end of your day, reflect on what was completed and what can be prioritized for tomorrow. Also remind yourself of those little wins you experienced with your children (or spouse): the deep breaths, the patience, the hugs and snuggles. All of that should be acknowledged as well. And before your head hits that glorious pillow, nighttime mediation is a fantastic way to wind down. Meditate as a family to clear your mind and calm yourselves before going to sleep.
Stay organized, take care of yourself, and cut yourself some slack- you’re doing amazing! | <urn:uuid:36292daa-fb64-4b87-9672-84e72a190d55> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://notforlazymoms.com/podcast-302-busy-being-unproductive/ | 2023-09-22T11:42:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.960568 | 491 |
