Project managers abound, but highly effective project leaders are much harder to find. The latter are shaped not only by their technical knowledge and capabilities, but by how effectively they communicate with others at all levels.
Great project leaders are objective, trustworthy, focused and confident. They lead by example, foster an energetic environment and are expert in managing the expectations of key stakeholders. Here’s a deeper look at these characteristics and more — plus the role communication plays in project leaders’ success.
Trustworthiness: Most people want to work and do business with leaders they trust. Trust is one of the most important qualities we look for in a leader. If people are unsure whether they can trust someone, they are less likely to want to embrace the leader’s vision and direction.

Transparency: This goes hand-in-hand with trust. Strong leaders choose to be transparent in their communications. They want their team to trust not only what they say, but what they mean. There are no hidden agendas or reading between the lines. Transparency tells people a lot about your intentions. And unless the information is intended to be confidential, transparency is more likely to help than hurt.
Focus and stability: In order to effectively lead, it’s imperative to focus on key aspects of a project and remain calm under pressure. Not all projects go as planned. In fact, most do not. But it’s during these times that project teams look to their leaders to be rational and practice sound judgment. Teams rely on you for the stability and levelheaded thinking that shows clear focus and agility.

Objectivity and fairness: Complex projects pose more risks to team dynamics, for example when individual stakeholders or department objectives clash. Strong leaders are inclusive in their communications and seek to constructively overcome these differences. Effective project leaders actively listen to more than one side without bias and work with key stakeholders to prioritize ideas and find the right solutions that best support the overall strategic goals.
Confidence: Stakeholders and executives want project leaders that are confident in their knowledge and abilities, but are not arrogant. There is a big difference between the two: Arrogance tends to make team members uncomfortable and reluctant, especially when sharing ideas and voicing differing opinions. Confidence, on the other hand, allows teams to work toward shared goals.
Leading by example: True leaders make every effort to live by the same rules they expect of others and affirm to the team that they, too, walk the talk. Strong project leaders foster participation by allowing team members to utilize their strengths, they give credit where it is due and remain professional and respectful of others at all times.
Energy and motivation: Let’s face it: No one wants a leader that is pessimistic, negative or disengaged. With hectic schedules and projects that don’t always going as planned, a project leader’s disposition and motivational abilities can mean the difference between teams that work cohesively or in complete dysfunction. Highly effective project leaders boost team morale and motivate. This can influence buy-in at all levels and keep support throughout the project.
Consistency and flexibility: Flip-flopping is not a good strategy when it comes to leadership. Great project leaders are reliable and consistent with their communication quality, style, and frequency — yet still adapt based on audience needs. Great project leaders establish themselves as reliable communicators to develop credibility with project sponsors and flex and adapt during change.
Accessibility: It is impossible for a project leader to be effective if he or she is inaccessible. Team members and stakeholders need to know they can easily access their project leader and communicate freely and without barriers. Highly effective project leaders are never closed-off.
Clarity: Great project leaders gear their communication methods, mediums and styles toward their audience. They also have the ability to take something complex and make it simple in order to reach audiences at different levels.
Mark Grimm of Mark Grimm Communications and former TV News Anchor who has interviewed Presidents Bush and Clinton understands the importance of leadership and simplicity and says, “Simplicity is not simple. A leader’s top communication quality is the ability to paint a clear and vibrant picture of the company or group’s true purpose.”
Respect: Culture, age, gender, experience, education and communication preferences can all impact communication methods. Highly effective project leaders communicate in a clear and concise manner while still demonstrating respect and value for the contributions and opinions of others. They understand this is key in maintaining positive working relationships.
This may seem like a lofty list, but these qualities make the difference between simply managing projects and leading successful ones. | <urn:uuid:962e1a71-bae6-4b87-8236-5bd85df205d8> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://pmchat.net/11-communication-skills-of-effective-project-leaders-cio-magazine/ | 2023-09-22T12:30:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.953657 | 967 |

High points of the conversation follow.
Dr. Sonny Ramaswamy (15:44): But they’re going to have to vouch that that information is, the veracity of this person that is submitting that information. We want to make sure that it’s not just somebody that’s got some ax to grind or is ticked off with that particular thing. So, all of that including, if there’s any instances of cheating on campus, that is also submitted to us. And then if comes to our office, we go ahead and make that available to that group of evaluators as well. Remember, it’s not a one and done, we have a seven year cycle, we get these annual reports, we may get complaints or input coming any time of the year. When that comes, we actually follow up. We will investigate. My staff will go and investigate.
Dr. Sonny Ramaswamy (16:36): At any time, you could have complaints coming to us, or anonymous letters come to us, or whatever else, I mean, particularly if it’s some issues related to integrity and cheating and things like that. We’re going to go ahead and follow up on those.
Dr. Sonny Ramaswamy (18:54): When it comes to cheating, a lot of these things are dealt with locally. Now, if it’s just a one-off, let’s say if it was just one student, I felt sorry for that particular student, he or she got caught or whatever happened, and that they deal with it, there’s a grievance process. There’s all this efforts that really there’s no egregiousness on the part of the institution that they’re dealt with. Then they go on to do whatever it is based on the findings.
Dr. Sonny Ramaswamy (19:23): But if it’s a huge number of students, like happened at some institutions that you and I know of, if that comes up, then it floats up to us at that level that, “Oh, wait a second. There’s something else going on.”
Dr. Sonny Ramaswamy (24:20): Because, again, we can’t use hearsay and lack of evidence. You got to submit all of the evidence. If you’re accusing somebody of demonstrating zero or poor academic integrity, then you better have some very significant evidence for that. So, we ask you to go and submit that, it’ll come through our portal. And one of our staff members, we have assigned staff members to each institution, and they look at it. Then, we convene, including our general counsel and myself, we have a conversation. We look at all the evidence that’s been submitted.
Kathryn Baron (25:06): So, as an accreditor, I think you have a unique perspective on the impact of cheating or on the integrity of a college or university. I’m wondering, when you’re looking at this part of the student success, the fundamental part of that, do you gather information, even if it’s not a giant big incident like Harvard and the hundred students who cheated, but just over the seven years, there’s a number of them that have been accrued. Do you gather that information to say, “Okay, we didn’t have this one giant situation, but we see here that,” I don’t know, “500 students have been sent to this academic integrity commission, because they were accused of cheating.”
Dr. Sonny Ramaswamy (26:02): Again, I’ve been here as the president of the Northwest Commission now for a bit over four years, coming on almost five years. In that time, I’ve not seen that information. We do require institutions, that’s sort of happening on our 163 campuses. Now, we will… Not in the hundreds you’re talking about. Maybe the occasional one-off here and there.
Dr. Sonny Ramaswamy (27:20): In terms of cheating, where there’s a wholesale cheating of tens and hundreds of them. I’ve not seen any evidence of that in the last four plus years that I’ve been here. In fact, if I were to go back and, of course, I’ve spoken with my colleagues, so what’s the situation going back eight, 10 years ago? And asking my colleagues that have been here for that length of time, and they have not seen it … has there been any prevalence of cheating on a particular campus? I’ve not come across any.
Kathryn Baron (28:16): I guess, there are two ways of looking at those numbers. One are, when a student has been caught or is suspected of this and sent to through a formal process, or the student does it and nobody finds out. The reason I’m asking is because, on The Score, we’ve spoken to different researchers and their data is based on student surveys. In those, we’ve had 50% to 60% of students admitting that they cheated at least once. Most of this is probably not in any dataset, because it’s just them responding anonymously on a survey. I’m wondering then, you haven’t seen this as a big problem in terms of the official data, but do you think it’s as large as that? Do you have a sense of whether 50% to 60% of students have cheated at least once?
Dr. Sonny Ramaswamy (29:21): Yeah. Well, I mean, first of all, you got to look at the nature of the question that is asked and how it’s framed and all that.
Dr. Sonny Ramaswamy (29:28): If it’s an open-ended question, it’s anonymous and things like that, did you cheat? “Yeah. You know what, it was a closed-book exam, I opened the book or whatever. I’m fessing up.” Versus what happened at Harvard and other places. We’ve had at medical schools and dental schools and things like that, some very significant level of cheating. Also, you and I talked a little bit about this previously, some of those have not been borne out to be true anyways. Okay?
Dr. Sonny Ramaswamy (29:58): So, the bottom line is, I’m not seeing those particular studies that you’re referring to. Is it possible? Anything is possible. I mean, we’re talking about human nature. I mean, given those studies that have been done by Stanford and other institutions, where they would go ahead and drop a dollar bill or a hundred dollar bill or whatever, you know how many of us don’t just pick it up and stick it in our pockets and walk away. I mean, how many of us are going to just actually take and say, “Hey, sir, did you lose this? I just found this.” Yeah, many of us do it. Of course, we were taught that, right from wrong, and things like that.
Dr. Sonny Ramaswamy (30:31): This is like, I’m sure it’s happened to you. I go to a grocery store and I’m handed extra change or whatever. I give it back. That’s what I was taught to do. But some of us don’t and some of us do. Going back to this question of cheating, is the cheating a concerted effort to where a whole bunch of students hacked in to, let’s say, a database of questions or changed the grades? Which has all happened. I mean, we’ve seen, what do you call, instances of this. In fact, the Educational Testing Service, which does the tests of English and the foreign language or the GRE folks, that do GRE exams and all that.
Dr. Sonny Ramaswamy (31:59): If 50% of the students are cheating, they’re doing little bitty things. But what you’re getting at is this, the death by a thousand cuts, if you have this sort of thing that’s going on, what does that say to student education? I mean, do we really want, as the joke goes, do we really want a person that cheated in a medical school to do surgery on your heart? I mean, these are the kinds of things that we need to consider as well. Then cheating is inappropriate or incorrect in any context, small or large, there is no such thing as a small cheat versus a large cheat, cheat is cheat. Yeah, that’s what I’d say.
Dr. Sonny Ramaswamy (33:04): That’s true not just of medical schools, and dental schools, and veterinary schools, and in the broadly writ health sciences, et cetera. But you see that sort of a post graduation credentialing taking place, i.e., you pass an exam, board exam, whether you’re an attorney, or a psychologist, or whatever, if you want to go onto practice or you apply that in practice, if you’ve cheated throughout your college career, you’re going to get busted, because you don’t have the knowledge base. That’s a built-in part of the checks and balances that we’ve got.
Dr. Sonny Ramaswamy (33:41): But somebody that cheats on an English exam, copied, plagiarized or whatever else that happened. And we see that, you and I talk a little bit about this, too. We’ve got technology available today where we can see if the student has plagiarized or not. Also, we’ve got these mills, particularly in English speaking countries across the world, that will sell you an essay on whatever topic you want for 50 bucks or 10 bucks or whatever. You get all these kinds of things. Institutions, the faculty members are already tied up doing a lot of things and now they got to check whether this has been copied, or plagiarized, or somebody else wrote it and things like that. This is all part of this context that we’ve got.
Dr. Sonny Ramaswamy (35:06): I mean, we all have our ethics statements and our institutions have, they post that on the wall of each room and the professor comes in and reads that out loud, saying, “You will adhere to these principles of being ethical and professional,” and things like that. By the time you come into college, as you know, it’s way too late, it should be happening at home. It should be happening… If you have a home, a lot of students don’t have homes, that, too. But it should be happening in K through 12. It should be happening in kindergarten. And first, and second, in elementary school, that’s where we learned these things about the good and the bad and the ugly that we’ve got of cheating or whatever else that we’ve got. I think, by the time you get to college, these things are already set. | <urn:uuid:f957e11c-9f95-48e8-9265-ca472b579fd7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://podcastthescore.com/episode-011-dr-sonny-ramaswamy/ | 2023-09-22T12:48:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.959896 | 2,417 |

Is it worth getting a pole saw?
For most homeowners, a pole saw is an invaluable tool for maintaining their outdoor space. If your property is large and you plan on using the pole saw frequently, then buying one could be a wise investment. However, if you only plan to use the pole saw occasionally for small projects or have a smaller property, renting one will be more cost-effective. Here is everything you need to know about a pole saw and choosing the right one for your needs.
What is a Pole Saw?
A pole saw is a small, lightweight chainsaw attached to the end of an extendable pole. The pole saw can be used to cut high branches or plants that are difficult to reach. It is an essential tool for gardeners and landscapers who need to perform trimming and pruning tasks on trees, shrubs, and other plants .
The Importance of Using Pole Saws
Pole saws are an important tool for gardeners and landscapers who need to reach inaccessible areas or make difficult cuts. They are a great choice for homeowners who don’t have the time or the expertise to use traditional power tools. Pole saws are much safer and more convenient than ladders or other devices for reaching high branches.
Top 10 Benefits of Renting a Pole Saw
Here are the top ten benefits of renting a pole saw :
- Safety: A pole saw helps to keep you safe by providing a stable platform for cutting hard-to-reach places that can be dangerous when using traditional power tools or ladders;
- Time-Saving: Pole saws help to save time by making it easy to reach high branches and cut them quickly and accurately;
- Cost Savings: Renting a pole saw is much cheaper than buying one, which can cost hundreds of dollars;
- Versatility: Pole saws are versatile tools that can be used for trimming, pruning, and other outdoor tasks;
- Convenience: Pole saws are easy to use and can be quickly adjusted to reach different heights and angles;
- Maneuverability: Thanks to their lightweight design, pole saws can be easily maneuvered around tight spaces;
- Durability: Renting a pole saw ensures that the tool is in good condition and maintained properly, which increases its durability;
- Easy to Transport: Pole saws are lightweight and easy to transport, making them great for taking on outdoor trips or job sites;
- Accurate Cuts: Pole saws are designed to make precise cuts, ensuring that branches are cut without damaging the surrounding area;
- Reduced Risk of Injury: Pole saws reduce the risk of injuries, such as cuts and scrapes, when cutting high branches.
Are Pole Saws Easy to Use?
Pole saws are relatively easy to use and can be handled by users of all skill levels. They come with instructions on how to assemble and use the tool safely, but it’s always a good idea to seek help from an experienced user before using one for the first time.
How Long Should a Pole Saw Be?
The length of the pole saw will depend on the size of the tree or plant you plan to trim. A pole saw should be between 8 to 12 inches, i.e., long enough to reach the tallest branches of the tree. If you’re unsure of the size of the pole saw you need, most rental shops offer a range of sizes and can help you choose one that’s best for your project .
Where can I rent a pole saw?
The best places to rent a pole saw include:
- Local hardware stores;
- Garden centers;
- Home improvement outlets;
- Online rental companies;
- Equipment rental shops;
- Tree service companies.
No matter where you decide to rent a pole saw, make sure you read the terms and conditions of the rental agreement carefully before signing it. It will help to ensure that your rental experience is safe and efficient.
Factors Influencing Pole Saw Rental Costs
When renting a pole saw, there are several factors to consider that can influence the cost of your rental. Understanding these factors will help you determine which type and size of pole saw is best for your project and budget.
Duration of Rental
Pole saw rentals range from one day to several weeks or months. The longer you need the pole saw, the more expensive it will be. Most rental companies offer discounts for long-term rentals so make sure to ask about special offers before making your decision.
Type and Quality of Pole Saw
The type and quality of the pole saw you rent can also affect the price. Basic pole saws are often the least expensive option but may lack features or be harder to use. Professional-grade pole saws, on the other hand, are more powerful and come with additional features like adjustable handles and safety guards.
Availability and Demand
The availability and demand for a particular type of pole saw can also affect its rental cost. If multiple people are looking to rent the same type of pole saw, you may have to pay more for it. Similarly, if a particular pole saw is in high demand, rental companies may charge a premium price.
Additional Features or Accessories
Some rental companies offer additional features or accessories with their pole saws. For example, they might include safety goggles, gloves, or extension poles. These extras will increase the cost of your rental but can be useful if you need them for a specific job.
Average Rental Costs
The average cost of renting a pole saw varies by type and duration. Basic models usually start at around $50 per day, while professional-grade models can cost up to $150 or more. Longer rental periods will often result in lower costs per day, so make sure to compare prices from different rental companies to find the best deal.
Different Rental Options
Pole saws can be rented on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. The longer you need the pole saw, the lower your total rental cost will be. For example, a basic model might cost $50 per day, $200 per week, or $500 per month. Professional-grade models usually cost more but may include additional features that make them worth the extra cost.
Comparison of Prices from Various Rental Companies
It’s always a good idea to compare prices from different rental companies before deciding. Some companies may offer discounts for long-term rentals, while others may charge extra for additional features or accessories. You should also consider the proximity of the rental shop to your home and whether they offer delivery or pickup services.
Case Studies with Specific Rental Costs and Durations
Below are some case studies showing specific rental costs and durations from various rental companies :
- A basic 12-foot pole saw can be rented from a local hardware store for $50 per day or $150 per week.
- Professional-grade 16-foot pole saws can cost up to $200 per day, depending on the features included.
- Online rental companies may offer discounts for long-term rentals, such as a month-long rental of an 18-foot pole saw for $500.
- Tree service companies may charge extra for consultation services and additional safety equipment but can provide expert advice and assistance with more complex tasks.
Hidden Costs and Fees
When renting a pole saw, you should familiarize yourself with hidden costs or fees that may be involved. Below are some of the common hidden costs and fees associated with pole saw rentals:
Most rental companies require a security deposit to cover damage or loss that may occur during the rental period. The amount of this deposit is equivalent to the cost of a full day’s rental and will be refunded in full upon the return of the pole saw in good condition.
Some rental companies may require you to purchase additional insurance coverage for your pole saw rental. This type of insurance is designed to cover damage or loss that may occur during the rental period and will cost a few extra dollars per day.
Late Return Fees
Rental companies may charge late return fees if you don’t return the pole saw on time. These charges can range from a few dollars for each additional hour of use up to the full daily rental rate.
Maintenance or Repair Costs
Rental companies may charge additional fees for repairs or maintenance that may be needed during the rental period. These costs are usually minimal but can quickly add up if the pole saw isn’t returned in good condition. Be sure to read the terms and conditions of your rental agreement carefully before signing it to ensure you understand what is expected from you.
Tips for Saving Money While Renting a Pole Saw
Renting a pole saw doesn’t have to be expensive. By following some simple tips, you can save money on your pole saw rental and get the most out of your project. Here are some ideas to consider when trying to save money on your pole saw rental :
Renting During Off-Peak Seasons
Renting during the off-peak season can save you a lot of money on your pole saw rental. Many rental companies offer discounted rates for rentals that occur during slower times of the year to attract more business. Try to rent your pole saw between November and April when demand is lower.
Renting from Local or Smaller Rental Companies
Local and smaller rental companies may offer discounts on their pole saw rentals. These companies are often more flexible with their prices and may be willing to negotiate a lower rate than larger, national companies.
Negotiating Rental Terms and Prices
Negotiating the terms of your rental agreement can help you save money on your pole saw rental. Try to negotiate a lower rate, extended rental period, or additional features and accessories for free.
Considering Bundled Package Deals
Some rental companies offer bundled package deals that include multiple pieces of equipment at a discounted rate. These package deals often come with extra accessories like safety goggles and gloves, as well as a longer rental period. Consider these package deals to save money on your pole saw rental.
Alternative Options to Renting
Renting a pole saw isn’t the only option. If you need a pole saw for a one-time job or don’t want to commit to long-term rentals, there are other options available. Here are some alternative solutions to consider:
Purchasing a New or Used Pole Saw
Buying a new or used pole saw is a great option for those looking to use one regularly or over the long term. New pole saws can range in price from around $200 (for basic models) up to several thousand dollars (for professional-grade models). Used pole saws can often be found for much cheaper, and there are many online resources to help you find one.
Borrowing from Friends or Family
Borrowing a pole saw from friends or family is another great way to save money on your project. Many people already own pole saws that they don’t use regularly and would be happy to lend them out for free or at a discounted rate.
Hiring Professional Tree Services
Hiring a professional tree service is often the most expensive option but can offer peace of mind. Professionals know how to use pole saws safely and efficiently and will be able to handle jobs, big or small. Many tree services also offer additional services such as trimming, pruning, and removal that could help save you time and money in the long run.
You should do your research and weigh all of your options before deciding on a pole saw rental or alternative option. By being informed and taking the time to compare prices, you can save money on your project while getting the most out of it.
How high can a pole saw reach?
A pole saw can reach up to 20 feet, depending on the model and attachment used. Telescopic pole saws can extend even further, allowing you to reach higher branches with ease.
Are pole saws safer than chainsaws?
Yes, pole saws are considered to be safer than chainsaws as they are designed for pruning trees and shrubs only, rather than cutting through thicker branches or logs. Pole saws have smaller blades which make them easier to maneuver and control .
What is the difference between a pole saw and a manual tree trimmer?
A pole saw is a type of saw that is designed to reach higher branches and is powered by either electricity or gas. A manual tree trimmer, on the other hand, consists of a long pole with a blade at the end and requires more physical effort as it needs to be manually operated.
Can a pole saw cut a tree?
No, a pole saw is not suitable for cutting down trees. It is primarily used for pruning and trimming branches and shrubs.
What pole saw do professionals use?
Professional tree services use heavy-duty, gas-powered pole saws with extension poles for increased reach. These saws can be quite expensive and may require additional attachments such as blades or chains to complete a job effectively.
Can you use a pole saw horizontally?
Yes, you can use a pole saw horizontally to trim branches close to the ground. The blade of the saw should be perpendicular to the branch for optimal cutting performance.
How long does a pole saw battery last?
The battery life of a pole saw can vary greatly depending on the type and model. On average, it is estimated that an 18V cordless pole saw can provide up to one hour of runtime, while larger models with higher voltage batteries may last several hours before needing to be recharged .
How do you clean a pole saw?
To clean a pole saw, use a damp cloth to wipe down the blade and handle. Be sure to dry off the moisture that is left behind with a clean towel. You should lubricate the blade after every use to ensure optimal performance.
How do you store pole saws?
Store your pole saw in a dry place out of direct sunlight and away from moisture. If possible, hang the pole saw up on the wall or ceiling for easy access. You should keep an eye on the blade to ensure it stays sharp and rust-free.

Pros & Cons of WORX WG307
How a chainsaw works
A chainsaw is a tool designed to cut through the wood using rotating cutting teeth that are powered by an engine. A chainsaw typically has two handles, one at the top and one at the bottom, which allow for easier maneuvering when cutting. Chainsaws can come in different sizes and power sources, from electric corded models to gas-powered models.
The JawSaw has an automatic oiler system, which lubricates the saw chain as it runs to keep it cool and reduce friction. This helps to extend the life of the chainsaw and ensure optimal performance. It also features a low-kickback design which reduces the risk of injury while using the tool. It’s equipped with a 6″ bar and can cut through branches up to 4 inches in diameter.
The JawSaw is safe enough for beginners yet powerful enough for experienced users. Its ergonomic design makes it comfortable to hold while operating, so you don’t tire out your hands quickly when cutting wood. You can also adjust the handle to two different angles, making it easier to reach the limbs you are trying to cut down.
Overall, the WORX WG307 JawSaw Electric Chainsaw is a well-made and user-friendly tool that can help you easily and quickly trim trees or branches around your yard. Plus, its low-kickback design makes it safer than traditional gas-powered chainsaws. Whether you’re an experienced chainsaw user or just getting started, this electric model is sure to meet all of your needs.
The main types of chainsaw
When you’re on the hunt for a chainsaw, three options stand out: electric, gas-powered or battery-powered – each boasting its own distinct advantages. Electric saws are the most common type of chainsaw and can be used for a variety of tasks from pruning trees to cutting down large logs. They are usually lightweight and easy to maneuver. Unleash the potential of a gas-powered chainsaw and take on any large tree or thick brush with ease. These powerful tools are made for challenging jobs that require heavy-duty work. Though their strength is unrivaled, gas-powered tools can be incredibly loud and require more maintenance than electric ones. Battery-powered chainsaws are a variant of electric saws that run on rechargeable batteries instead of being plugged into a power source. They’re great for light pruning jobs and are usually much quieter than gas ones, but they aren’t quite as powerful. All three types of chainsaws have their pros and cons.
Pole chainsaw: a chainsaw for pruning high branches
Pole chainsaws are designed for pruning and trimming high branches. This type of saw is used by arborists, landscapers, and gardeners who need to reach hard-to-access spots on trees or plants. A pole chainsaw typically consists of a long metal shaft with an electric or gas-powered chainsaw at the end. These saws can be completely manual or powered via electricity, battery, or gasoline. They are invaluable for clearing inaccessible areas and effectively trimming trees of any height.
Pole pruners are designed for pruning and trimming low branches. This type of saw is perfect for gardeners or homeowners who need to reach lower-level areas on trees or plants. A pole pruner typically consists of an adjustable metal shaft with either a manual or electric saw at the end. These saws can be used to easily trim small branches and leaves without having to use a ladder. The adjustable nature of the pole makes it easy to get into hard-to-reach areas quickly and safely.
Standard chainsaw: cutting and everyday use
Standard chainsaws are the go-to tools for a range of applications, from cutting firewood to trimming trees and clearing brush. They come in various sizes and can have either an electric or gas-powered motor. Standard chainsaws are great for everyday use but can also be quite powerful depending on your chosen model. They require more maintenance than other types of saws due to their heavy-duty nature but they’re perfect for anything from cutting small limbs to large logs.
Felling chainsaws are designed for one purpose: cutting down trees. Unlike other types of saws, felling chainsaws are meant to chop at the base of a tree in order to cut it down. They usually have larger blades and more powerful engines than standard chainsaws, making them perfect for taking down large trees with ease. From taking down giant trees to eliminating brush, felling chainsaws are an invaluable asset with their heavy-duty nature – although they do require more upkeep due to that same powerful presence.
However, if you’re looking for something more lightweight and easy to maneuver, then an electric or battery-powered chainsaw might be a better option. No matter which type of saw you choose, make sure it’s the right one for your needs so that you can get the job done safely and efficiently.
Electric chainsaws are a type of saw that runs on electricity and are great for light pruning jobs. They have all the power you need but with much less noise and maintenance than gas-powered ones. Electric chainsaws usually have a cord or battery, making them perfect for indoor or small outdoor projects.
This type of saw is lightweight and easy to maneuver, making it ideal for homeowners who want to trim branches quickly or cut firewood. While electric chainsaws aren’t as powerful as some of the other types of saws, they do offer a lot of conveniences and can handle most light pruning tasks with ease.
Electric chainsaw or cordless chainsaw?
If you’re looking for a more lightweight and easy-to-use saw, you might want to consider an electric chainsaw or cordless chainsaw. Electric chainsaws are powered by a cord while cordless chainsaws are powered by a battery. No longer be tethered to an outlet with cordless saws! With their portability, you can move freely around your workspace and get the job done. They also tend to be quieter than other types of saws, making them ideal for noise-sensitive situations. However, cordless saws have shorter run times than electric models and can take longer to recharge their batteries after each use.
Petrol chainsaws are powered by gasoline and offer the most power out of all the saw types. They’re ideal for larger projects such as felling trees or cutting large logs. Petrol saws are heavier than electric and cordless models, making them a bit more difficult to maneuver. However, they often have the most power and can handle tough tasks with ease. These saws also require a bit more maintenance due to their heavy-duty nature, but they’re an invaluable tool when it comes to taking down big trees or clearing brush quickly.
Chainsaws are great tools for cutting down trees, trimming branches and even cutting firewood. However, they can be dangerous if used improperly, so it’s important to take the necessary safety precautions before using them. Make sure to wear protective clothing such as goggles, gloves and sturdy shoes when operating a chainsaw. Also ensure that the chainsaw is in good working order by inspecting its chain tension, oil levels and bar length before use. When starting the chainsaw, hold it firmly with both hands and away from your body so that you don’t accidentally kick yourself or someone else nearby with the chain. Keep your focus on what you’re doing while using a chainsaw so that you remain aware of where your hands and feet are at all times. After you’re done using the tool, make sure to turn it off and store it in a safe place so that no one else is injured when handling it. With these safety tips in mind, you can now safely operate a chainsaw and complete your tasks with ease!
Pruning and trimming
Pruning and trimming are also important activities when it comes to maintaining your yard. Pruning involves removing dead or damaged branches from trees and shrubs, while trimming helps keep the plants healthy by cutting back overgrown growth. Before beginning any pruning or trimming, make sure to identify what kind of plant you’re working with so that you use the proper equipment for the job. You may need a pair of lopping shears to remove larger branches, or a handsaw for smaller limbs. When pruning, always avoid cutting too close to the trunk, as this could leave open wounds that could invite disease or insect infestation. Finally, if using powered tools such as a hedge trimmer or electric saws, make sure to take safety precautions such as wearing eye protection and keeping the tool away from your body. Pruning and trimming can be a fun and rewarding activity, but it’s important to stay safe while doing so!
Pruning and frequent tree maintenance
Finally, it’s important to remember that proper tree maintenance requires frequent pruning and trimming.
This will keep the tree healthy and strong by removing dead or damaged limbs, as well as helping to control its size and shape. Be sure to research the type of tree you’re working with beforehand so that you know when and how often to prune. When you do begin your work, make sure to use the right tools for the job and follow all safety precautions outlined above. With these tips in mind, you can keep your trees healthy while avoiding any unnecessary accidents!
Frequent and intensive pruning
For those who have a large area to maintain, such as a commercial property, frequent and intensive pruning and trimming may be necessary. This requires more specialized tools, such as pole saws, electric hedge trimmers or even tree-climbing equipment. If you decide to tackle this kind of work yourself, make sure to wear the appropriate safety gear such as gloves, long pants and steel-toed boots.
It’s also important to remember that pruning trees in tight spaces can be dangerous due to falling limbs, so always use caution when working in this kind of environment. With the right preparation and safety measures, you can ensure that your pruning jobs are completed safely and efficiently!
Cutting, maintenance, and occasional tree felling
It’s important to remember that cutting, maintenance and occasional tree felling are all part of maintaining your property. As with any job involving a chainsaw or other power tools, make sure to take the proper safety precautions such as wearing protective clothing and making sure the tool is in good working order before use. If you’re felling trees on your own property, research the best techniques for doing so safely and follow them closely while operating the saw. With these tips in mind, cutting and maintenance can be performed safely while still achieving excellent results!
Cutting, maintenance, and frequent felling
If you decide to tackle this job yourself, make sure to research the best techniques for safely felling and cutting down trees.
With the right preparation and knowledge, you can ensure that your tree-felling jobs are completed safely and efficiently!
Cutting and intensive tree felling
For those with large properties or land that needs to be regularly cleared of trees, intensive tree felling may be necessary. This requires the use of specialized tools such as chainsaws and pole saws; it’s important to take extra safety precautions when using these tools, such as wearing protective clothing and keeping the tool away from your body. Additionally, research the best techniques for safely felling trees in tight spaces before attempting a job in this kind of environment. With careful preparation and attention to safety, you can ensure that your cutting and intensive tree-felling jobs are completed without any unnecessary accidents!
Pruning and trimming trees is a great way to keep your landscape looking its best while ensuring the health of your plants. However, it’s important to be aware of the safety risks involved and take the appropriate precautions.
Dos and Don’ts of using a Pole Saw
- Make sure you are using the right tool for the job. Not all pole saws are created equal, so be sure to check the specifications of your saw before getting started.
- Wear protective eyewear and gloves when operating a pole saw – splinters and debris can fly at high speed when cutting branches.
- Inspect your pole saw regularly – keep an eye out for loose parts or signs of wear that could affect its performance.
- Read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully to ensure safe operation.
- Start by cutting smaller branches first to get used to how the pole saw operates, then move up to bigger tasks as needed.
- If possible, use a pole saw on the ground instead of up in the air to reduce risk.
- Keep your grip firm and steady when operating a pole saw – it’s much easier to control if you have a strong posture and are gripping the machine firmly.
- Don’t use a pole saw without proper training or instruction, as improper use can lead to injury.
- Don’t try to force your way through difficult cutting jobs – let the weight and power of the pole saw do most of the work.
- Don’t operate a pole saw near any electrical lines or wires – keep clear at all times for safety purposes.
- Don’t use a pole saw that is broken or not properly maintained – this can lead to dangerous results.
- Don’t rush yourself when using a pole saw – take your time and make sure each cut is precise.
- Don’t try to exceed the maximum reach of the saw, as this could cause it to become unstable and difficult to control.
- Don’t use a pole saw in wet weather – wait until conditions are dry before operating it.
- Don’t put too much strain on the motor – take regular breaks between cutting tasks if possible.
WORX WG307 Chainsaw Maintenance
Maintaining your WORX WG307 chainsaw is an important part of keeping it running in top condition. Here are some tips to keep it clean and working its best:

How long will an electric chainsaw run?
Electric chainsaws usually run for around an hour depending on the model and battery size. For example, a 40V Lithium-ion battery can last up to 50 minutes with heavy-duty use. If you’re using it for light-duty tasks, then it can last up to an hour or more. Additionally, some newer models come with interchangeable batteries so you can easily switch out when one runs low. That way, you can keep working without interruption!
What to look for when buying an electric chainsaw?
When it comes to buying an electric chainsaw, there are a few key factors to consider. Firstly, you should pay attention to the power of the motor. You want to ensure it has enough power for your job and won’t bog down while cutting thick branches or logs. Secondly, you’ll want to look at how easily the chain is adjustable and changed. Chains need periodic sharpening and tension adjustments, so convenience here is important. Thirdly, safety features should be given some thought – most chainsaws now come with hand guards and kickback protection systems for extra peace of mind. Finally, consider the weight of the saw itself – lighter models will be easier to maneuver but may not have as much power as their heavier counterparts. All of these factors should be carefully weighed before making a purchase, so you can be sure to choose the right chainsaw for your needs.
What maintenance does an electric chainsaw need?
Maintaining your electric chainsaw is essential to keep it in good condition and ensure that it runs smoothly. Here are a few simple tips to help you take care of your electric chainsaw:
- Be sure to read the user manual before using an electric chainsaw, as they contain important safety instructions and maintenance advice.
- Inspect the chain periodically for any signs of wear or damage. If necessary, sharpen the blade with a file or buy replacement blades from your local hardware store. Also check for any loose parts, such as screws or nuts, and tighten them if needed.
- Clean off any sawdust or dirt from the body of the saw after each use, using a soft cloth.
- Keep the chain in good condition by lubricating it regularly with bar and chain oil, as recommended by the manufacturer.
- Store your electric chainsaw in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent rusting of parts. Additionally, never leave a running chainsaw unattended.
Is an electric chainsaw powerful enough?
Yes, electric chainsaws are powerful enough for many tasks. Depending on the size of your project, you may want to use a larger saw with more power. However, electric models can still perform smaller jobs such as pruning trees or cutting firewood. They can also work in tight spaces where gas-powered models don’t fit easily. Electric chainsaws are quieter than their gas counterparts, making them popular with homeowners who need to do yard work without disturbing the neighbors. Additionally, they require less maintenance and provide an environmentally friendly option since they don’t release emissions into the air like gas models do. Ultimately, it’s up to you whether an electric chainsaw will be powerful enough for your needs – but chances are good that it will serve you well.

Polish Gamedev Revenue in 2019
In order to calculate global revenues generated around the world by Polish companies from the gaming sector, the financial results of 49 companies have been analysed: 46 already listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange and NewConnect, as well as companies which submitted their information documents as of 31.10.2020, but their shares are not traded yet. There were three such companies as of 31.10.2020. In addition, information about the financial results of 132 enterprises and single-person entities directly related to game development has been collected. The following assumptions have been made:
- the analysis does not include the revenues connected with the distribution of games of third parties, in the digital and physical versions.
- the analysis checked which among the smaller companies may already be included in the consolidated annual statements of larger entities, which is particularly important in the case of capital groups, such as PlayWay SA.
- an assumption has been made that the revenues recognised by the Polish branches of foreign companies from the industry are included as a whole in accordance with the annual statements submitted to the National Court Register.
In 2019, Polish Gamedev generated the global revenues on sales at the level of PLN 1.75 billion. It should be noted that the number of development studios in Poland is estimated, depending on the source, at the level of 440 or according to the recent Polish Gamedev research – 476. Although other available reports, such as “The Game Industry of Poland report 2020” contain higher amounts for Polish gamedev, with the assumption made by the authors of “The State of Polish Video Games Sector 2020”, we are still observing continuous growth. In relation to 2018, that growth amounted to over 13.5%. Using the same methodology to calculate the revenue from sales, in 2018, the Polish gamedev recorded revenues at the level of PLN 1.54 billion.

Does it mean that in 2019 gamers around the world spent around PLN 1 billion on the games created in Poland? Not exactly. It is frequent that the revenues presented are only in the form of accounting records. It is a common practice to include “movement of stocks” on the side of revenues, although in that item the companies record the estimated revenues of games, which often have not even been completed. The authors of the report estimated that movement of stocks constitutes in total, for the global revenues of Polish gamedev, about 10% of revenues included in the annual financial statements submitted to the National Court Register. While analysing the situation for the first 10 months of 2020, the authors expect that maintaining a further increase of revenues in 2020 will not be an easy task for Polish gamedev. On the one hand, the pandemic improved the sale results of the majority of smaller entities. On the other hand, a large group of promising games from Polish developers was postponed to 2021 (among others Dying Light 2 by Techland, Outriders by People Can Fly and Gamedec by Anshar Studio). Therefore, the results of the entire sector are going to depend on the most important Polish release in recent years. However, Cyberpunk 2077 was postponed to 10 December 2020 and (at the moment of developing the report) it is difficult to predict the percentage share of that game’s sales recognised by CD Projekt in the same accounting year (i.e. 2020).

9After this I looked, and there was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, robed in white, with palm branches in their hands. 10They cried out in a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb!” 11And all the angels stood around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12singing, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”
13Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, “Who are these, robed in white, and where have they come from?” 14I said to him, “Sir, you are the one that knows.” Then he said to me, “These are they who have come out of the great ordeal; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15For this reason they are before the throne of God, and worship him day and night within his temple, and the one who is seated on the throne will shelter them. 16They will hunger no more, and thirst no more; the sun will not strike them, nor any scorching heat;17for the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of the water of life, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
The current United States president campaigned with the slogan “Drain the swamp!”. This call for reform appeals to the perception that those who influence policy in Washington, D.C. are a part of an elitist bureaucracy out of touch with the American people. As a relative political outsider, the 45th president appeals to an increasing distrust of career politicians in the American public.
In the turn of the century Roman Empire, common citizens harbored a similar distrust for the political elite. Originally built on the concepts of mutual obligation and patronage, by the first century of the Common Era power in the Roman Empire was increasingly tied to wealth and circumstance rather than kinship and law. Power was primarily sold to the highest bidder and the average citizen was left out of the equation—or, more accurately, exploited in order to fund their patron’s next conquest.
The overthrow of this corrupt empire provides the subtext for the Apocalypse penned by John of Patmos, known in most Christian Bibles as the book of Revelation. Where such a culture of power and acquisition expected authority in God’s Kingdom to be bestowed in the same way—the lion that John speaks of (Revelation 5:5)—in its place, God sends a “lamb standing as if it had been slaughtered” (Revelation 5:6).
A meek, baby creature who has seen better days stands before God’s magnificent throne with the power to open the scroll. Indeed, the heavenly chorus responds to the lamb declaring to this least likely one, “Worthy is the Lamb that was slaughtered to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!” (Revelation 5:12).
These common currencies of power and authority in the world are now conferred to this powerless one. And, more than that, the heavenly chorus continues by celebrating the Lamb’s ransom of saints from all tribes and peoples and languages to stand before the throne of God (Revelation 5:9-10; 7:9). No longer is proximity to power determined by who has more—more money, more connections, more might. Instead, proximity to power—a place before the throne—is conferred by the One who has nothing and gives all.
The idea of obliterating corruption is timeless. The moral weight of one’s proximity to power—to “the throne”—is equally as powerful today as it was 2,000 years ago. Though the representations of that power, and at times the execution, have changed, such power continues to bear both the potential for life and for death. And, indeed, an unexpected “outsider” is needed to bring about a change.
However, in God’s Kingdom, the courtiers change not solely by overthrowing the “political insider” (Roman emperor) but by breaking the cycle of wealth and power entirely through the power of the one who is willing to give everything up. This One—this Lamb—having given his very life, surrounds himself with those for whom he gave his life (not those who gave him anything in return).
The cycle is reversed—power serving people rather than people serving power. And so the saints, the advisors of the throne, become those whose only merit is having been “washed…in the blood of the Lamb” (Revelation 7:14).
In our present world where hunger and thirst and tears abound, John’s Revelation envisions a new and different way (Revelation 7:16-17). God’s vision for reform does not simply replace the one at the center—in God’s vision for the reformation and renewal of the world, the One at the center instead gives their very life and self for the sake of the margins.

Miklós Sebők, Attila Horváth and Ágnes M. Balázs recently published a new article entitled "Electoral reforms, entry barriers and the structure of political markets: A comparative analysis" in European Journal of Political Research.
"This article investigates the impact of electoral reforms on entry barriers in political markets. The discussion starts by delineating the theoretical boundaries of various political markets, such as those for participation, parties and government. By taking a cue from industrial organisation theory, the article offers an analysis of entry barriers, both hard and soft, along with their operationalisation for empirical research. Based on this theoretical framework, a single hypothesis is investigated. It posits that the modification of the entry barriers in the market for parties leads to changes in the concentration of the popular vote for party lists. An observable implication of this relationship would be if an electoral reform that raises entry barriers led to subsequent increases in the Herfindahl index (a measure of market concentration), and vice versa. This proposition is empirically tested by a comparative analysis of a new database covering Czechia, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. The analysis offers support for the following proposition: in most cases the changes in the entry barriers led to a corresponding change of concentration in the market for parties."

Building on industry standard components, PolyPM brings together a series of technologies under a single platform that creates the PolyPM Engine. This technology enables users to customize the solution to their businesses processes on their own. When compared to other products, the end-user’s total cost of ownership is significantly less with PolyPM because the implementation is less costly. Each type of user has greater control over the application, giving him more flexibility to customize at lower cost. PolyPM puts far more controls into the hands of users and administrators, where the costs to configure and maintain these systems are dramatically lower than with third parties or the software vendor. This is accomplished by adding a thin layer of customization over the Engine.

Erythropoietic Protoporphyria (EPP)
Sometimes the pain takes hold of the psyche and then takes over your life completely. At such moments, I have often wished that my illness could somehow be more apparent to others. Sometimes when I am treated with condescension because the pain – which feels like boiling oil on my skin – is not visible, I think about people who are blind or paralyzed. Nobody doubts a person’s disability when they see them with a white stick or a wheelchair.
Thoughts like this are irrational – of course I am thankful that I don’t suffer from the additional problem of a visible disability. Despite this, the disease has a significant effect on my quality of life and it is hard to get away from the negative mindset – especially when doctors downplay the symptoms because they don't know what they are talking about or as a result of their lack of specialist knowledge about the illness. I always get angry when I hear similar stories from other sufferers.
While I would like to experience more understanding and sympathy for my condition, I can't stand pity at all. I have the disease, but Rocco Falchetto is not the disease – he is much more than that. While my illness has partly shaped who I am today, I still lead a fulfilling life and have achieved things that I can be proud of. This is another reason why it is so difficult for me to talk about it. People should get to know me first without knowing anything about the illness.
However, I now know just how important it is to tell my story.
It is high time that society takes the needs of sufferers of rare illnesses and diseases into account and the difficulties we face in finding treatments. | <urn:uuid:1f361785-ef08-4876-824d-04f3df8267db> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://porphyriafoundation.org/for-patients/member-stories/erythropoietic-protoporphyria-and-x-linked-protoporphyria/rocco-falchetto/ | 2023-09-22T12:10:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.976666 | 355 |

Letter P: Personal Peace
Peace is defined as “is a stress-free state of stillness, security and calmness, everything co-existing in perfect harmony.”
To reach a state of personal peace, you must make an inward connection to yourself. Personal peace is independent of external states, circumstances and conditions. Personal peace is independent of the chaos in the external world around you. Personal peace is also independent of your ego.
Personal peace is not a passive state. Instead personal peace is a dynamic state that requires the proper effort to achieve. Achieving personal peace requires awareness of who you are and where you are in your own unique soul plan that only you can accomplish.
Personal peace comes from your alignment and connection to your own higher-self and your connection to the energy of the Divine.
Personal peace has been important since biblical times and earlier.
“My peace I give you.”Jesus
Jesus said “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you…Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. ” John 14:27
Take a look at Love Infinity’s picture above. Her picture captures a large circular stone container filled with water in which water lily leaves are floating on the surface. There is a single white water lily flower visible in the container. The surface of the water in the container is peaceful, still and calm and does not include any waves.
Water lilies symbolize peace, hope, rebirth and wellness. Buddhists regard the water lily as a symbol of enlightenment because of the beautiful flowers that emerges from the mud to bloom. Many cultures around the world and through time have associated the water lilies with the Divine and with spirituality.
So how can you acheive personal peace in your own life? Consider these steps.
- Use a rhythmic breathing technique to calm yourself. One of the first steps to achieving personal peace is the calm yourself with a rhythmic breathing technique. One such breathing technique is called the 4-7-8 breathing technique. The 4-7-8 breathing technique requires you to focus on taking a long, deep breath in, hold the deep breath and exhale slowly out. This technique involves breathing in for 4 seconds, holding the breath for 7 seconds, and exhaling for 8 seconds. Rhythmic breathing promotes relaxation and is a core element in many yoga and meditation practices.
- Connect to your heart space. From your calm state connect to your heart space. Your heart space is your place of personal truth. Your heart space is the place where your higher-self communicates with you and your intuitive wisdom comes from. It is the place to achieve emotional balance and the ability to meet life with gratitude and grace. To connect to your heart space continue your rhythmic breathing and direct your attention to your heart center itself. Direct your attention to your heart as if all of your energy were resting there. Then breathe in and out from the center of your heart. Let your emotions, feelings and thoughts come and go without judgment. Relax, listen and experience the different physical sensations that eminate from your heart space.
- Practice Non-attachment and non-resistance. Non-attachment and non-resistance are keys to experiencing personal peace in your life. There is an old mind-body-spirit saying, “what you resist, persists.” Personal peace is achieved by allowing from your heart space everything in your life, to be just as it is, for a period of time without any resistance or attachment. Visualize yourself as a rock in a river. Water flowing by the rock hits the rock, bounces off the rock and flows around the rock. Let your own thoughts, feelings and emotions flow by you without attachment or resistance just like water flowing by the rock in an actual river. Personal peace can be maintained by changing your relationship with your own thoughts, feelings and emotions instead of trying to changing your thoughts, feelings and emotions themselves. Changing your relationship with your thoughts, feelings and emotions from that of any kind of judgement, to that of self-acceptance allows you to acheive and maintain a state of personal peace from your heart space.
Achieving and maintaing personal peace allows you to make a positive impact in your own and become an inspiration to others.

Embarking on the path of creating a new business, such as forming a Limited Liability Company (LLC), involves a series of critical decisions that will influence the course of your entrepreneurial journey. Amidst the excitement of entrepreneurship, the selection of the right registered agent service for your LLC name holds significant sway over your business’s legal and operational landscape. In this article, we delve into the concept of choice and its impact on your business’s success, guiding you towards selecting the ideal registered agent service to enhance your LLC name’s standing.
Unveiling the Role of a Registered Agent
Beyond its functional role, a registered agent is an essential bridge connecting your llc name and government entities. This designated entity or individual assumes the responsibility of receiving vital legal documents, official notices, tax notifications, and legal summonses on behalf of your business.
Harnessing the Power of Choice Through Registered Agent Services
Recognizing the power of choice when it comes to selecting a registered agent service can transform your LLC name’s trajectory in profound ways:
Legal Compliance: State regulations mandate that every LLC must appoint a registered agent. Ignoring this requirement can lead to penalties, legal complexities, and even the potential dissolution of your LLC.
Timely Communication: In the fast-paced business environment, timely response is critical. A reliable registered agent service ensures you receive and address essential legal documents promptly.
Professional Reputation: Opting for a reputable registered agent service enhances your LLC’s professional reputation by aligning it with a credible and dependable entity.
Privacy Protection: Utilizing the registered agent’s address on public records safeguards your personal and business addresses from unnecessary exposure.
Navigating Multifaceted Territories: For LLCs operating across state lines, a registered agent service adeptly manages compliance requirements in diverse jurisdictions.
Making the Right Choice for Your LLC Name
To make an informed decision for your LLC name’s benefit, consider these factors when selecting a registered agent service:
Proven Expertise: Opt for a service with a proven track record in serving the needs of LLCs. Industry-specific experience adds value.
Accessibility and Responsiveness: The registered agent should be accessible during standard business hours for efficient handling of legal documents.
Digital Integration: In the era of digital convenience, an online platform for document access and notifications enhances efficiency.
Compliance Proficiency: Ensure the service possesses a comprehensive understanding of the compliance requirements pertinent to your state and industry.
Privacy and Security Focus: Due to the sensitive nature of legal documents, prioritize a service that places strong emphasis on privacy.
Supportive Customer Service: A responsive and supportive customer service team can offer guidance and assistance as needed.
The selection of a registered agent service is not just a procedural step; it’s a testament to the power of choice in shaping your LLC name’s future. By recognizing the impact of your decision and considering the factors discussed in this article, you’re equipped to make a choice that propels your LLC name towards legal compliance, professional excellence, and operational success. | <urn:uuid:c4764cab-2dc8-4905-89f8-835899d8a810> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://postfreaks.com/the-power-of-choice-selecting-the-perfect-registered-agent-service-for-your-llc-name/ | 2023-09-22T12:35:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.886792 | 640 |
The personal statement is a narrative that allows you to tell the admissions committee more about who you are using a central theme or thesis.
It is an opportunity to set yourself apart from other applicants and allows the reader to get to know you beyond your grades, test scores, and resume.
- Adds a “human element”
- Explains motivation/characteristics
- Describes experiences that have shaped your goals
- Generates interest in meeting you
Before you begin your personal statement, you need to familiarize yourself with the personal statement parameters specified by your application.
- Character Limitations - AMCAS and AACOMAS 5,300 characters. AADSAS, OptomCAS, OTCAS, and PTCAS 4,500 characters. CASPA 5,000 characters.
- Formatting - The personal statement text fields of most applications have limited (if any) formatting options. This means you can't bold, underline, or italicize text. We recommend writing your personal statement in a plain text document.
- Specific Prompt - Your application will have a specific prompt around which you should orient your personal statement. Make sure that your statement adequately addresses the prompt. Be sure to verify the prompt for your application cycle, as it may change each year.
Once you know the parameters, you can begin brainstorming and drafting your personal statement.
Your personal statement is about selling yourself to the admissions committee. You should begin with reflecting on your values, your best qualities, what you are passionate about, what's important to you, and how all of that has led you down the path to this career. You will need to identify activities or experiences where you demonstrate qualities that will prepare you for professional school and a career in healthcare. Telling professional schools that you possess various qualities is one thing, but the point is to really show them through your activities.
If you are having trouble formulating ideas about what to include in your personal statement, utilize the Wandering Map worksheet linked below to help organize your thoughts about why you are pursuing this pathway and to catalog your various experiences and activities over the last few years.
Once you have a good grasp on your "why" and have a list of all of your activities, you should consider how all of your experiences have developed skills that will be helpful in your future career and how to go about selling those experiences in your application. Many students believe that everything they include in the application should be clinically related, but that is not the case. Your leadership experiences, research, athletics, non-clinical volunteering, job, study abroad, and other campus and community involvements have likely played a significant role in shaping who you are. You can and should include these in your application.
The AAMC has outlined a set of 15 Core Competencies that represent skills they believe applicants must have for success in medical school and in their future careers as physicians. These broad ranging skills are critical for all the healthcare professions and can be utilized to help you frame your various experiences in both your personal statement and other areas of the application. They may also be able to help you see the value in some of the activities which you may feel are very disconnected from your professional goals -- e.g. a customer service part-time job, club sports, volunteering for The Guide Dog Foundation, etc. The Core Competencies worksheet below can help you organize your experiences by their corresponding skill set.
Your personal statement is your chance to tell the admissions committee your story. Since space is limited, you will need to determine what is most relevant and valuable to include and also convey it in the most impactful way. You should identify when you realized your career goal and what you have done in order to prepare for professional school and that career. In your statement you should highlight stories that show your resilience, passions, individuality, and skills that will make you successful in your respective field. Include experiences that demonstrate your intellectual curiosity, dedication to service, composure under pressure, and leadership ability as well as experiences that challenged or changed your perspective about your field. You want to convey that you have a realistic understanding of the field and that you are the right fit for your chosen profession. The latter must be demonstrated through actions, so be mindful of how you construct your statement.
Consider this example from Dr. Renee Marinelli:
In the example on the left, the writer tells the reader what they have learned, but gives the reader no insight into the process. However, in the example on the right, the reader can infer that same skill set without it being overtly stated. But more importantly the writer takes on a more active role showing how that skill set was honed and how it ultimately produced a desired result. This is the difference between "showing" vs "telling." Statements that focus more on showing will allow the reader to better connect with you.
In your personal statement you should demonstrate that you have a clear understanding of your "why." The "why" is your purpose and your motivation. If you don’t know why you do what you do and why you are pursing this career, how can you expect the admissions committee to know and trust that this is the right path for you? To begin outlining your why statement you have to think about what it is you want to contribute to your chosen profession. Once you’ve identified your contribution you have to figure out what you want the impact of your contribution to be.
Once you have your "why" you want to support your stated motivation with actions which demonstrate your right fit for the profession, you capacity to succeed in your career, and an overall vision which ties all of this together.
- Why do you want to pursue this career?
- What was your initial aspiration?
- Did you have a "moment" when you realized your goal?
- What has been your ongoing preparation?
- How do you know this is the right career for you?
- What values or traits do you have that align with this profession well?
- How do you know that you have what it takes to be successful in this career?
- Accurately assess your skills, strengths, weaknesses and challenges you may face.
- Put your skills in a context that demonstrates your ability to succeed.
- How do you want to impact the profession?
- Why do you want to impact the field?
Your personal statement should not be a rehash of your resume nor is it necessarily in your best interest to organize your statement chronologically. As you approach writing your statement, you should identify a theme and goals for what you want your personal statement to convey. You could consider:
- After the admissions committee has read your statement, what three words do you hope they would use to describe you?
- Are there any common threads when examining your activities and interests?
- Is your application narrative consistent?"
A strong "why" and excellent theme cannot make up for poor writing and grammar mistakes. Clarity of writing in your personal statement is just as important as your message. While this is your story, it is also a professional document. Make sure that you are using a structure that is clear and easy to follow to ensure that you are getting your point across. If you are having trouble with organizations consider using the PEEL structure.
- Point – topic sentence – what is the point you want to make? “Extracurricular activities provided me the opportunity to broaden my leadership experience."
- Evidence – make your point – what evidence supports your point? “In M.O.V.E (Mobilization of Volunteer Effort), I was responsible for soliciting and training volunteers which enabled me to work with other organizations within the University. I also helped coordinate the scheduling of volunteers for two Red Cross blood drives. As vice president of the campus premed club, I scheduled meetings, arranged for guest speakers and publicized events.”
- Explanation – explain your point – why is this relevant to the program you are pursuing? “In the process, I learned that it takes a lot of patience and discipline to meet the responsibilities for organizing group activities. ”
- Link – link your point to the next paragraph. “These responsibilities have contributed
to developing leadership and understanding more about the healthcare field.” Examples
- Progression of time (immediately, thereafter, soon, after a few hours, finally, then, later, previously, formerly, (first, second, etc.), next and then)
- Change in place (coming to, when taking)
- Additional example (not only...,but also; also; similarly)
- Contradiction of limitation (however, even though, at the same time)
- Cause or effect (as a result, because, because of, caused by, consequently, for that reason, that is why, therefore, thus)
Below is a outline for you to use to help you organize your personal statement before you begin your first draft.
Make sure to have your personal statement proofread by professionals as well as people who know you that you can trust to be objective. You will want to get feedback from multiple sources, but you want to make sure you stay true to your own voice. Additional web resources to help with the writing process:

Have you ever tried to play around with the task list in the Project (SharePoint) Site? If yes, you have probably experienced what most others have, loosing the connection to you project plan.
You have deleted or added a new Task list in a SharePoint Project Site and the new Task list is not connected to your project plan. This is the case even though all synchronizations to the site have been enabled. You have tried almost everything from deleting the site, starting all over with new templates etc.
Solution – simply follow these steps and you are up and running in no time.
Ensure you task list is not connected – in the below example you will notice it quickly as the header “This project can only be edited in Project Web App” is missing.
Find you project and notice the Task List is blank. This is the real problem you have to solve. Click on the project name to get to the settings area.
After a few seconds the project row now looks blank on all site details:
Go back to the settings area by clicking on the project name again. This time choose to reconnect to the SharePoint site by pasting in the site address you just copied before. Hit “OK”.
Go back to the Project Site and the “New task list” is now connected to a project, and will receive the information on the next “publish” done by the Project Manager.
I hope this post will help a lot of Project Online admins out there – enjoy! | <urn:uuid:7d5ec758-ff85-48c6-a9cc-454da8061360> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://ppmblog.org/2018/04/25/fix-reconnect-task-lists-to-project-plans/ | 2023-09-22T11:43:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.926478 | 339 |

The discussion and conclusion summarize what your research has achieved. The discussion begins with a paragraph that reduces the complexity of your findings to a single sentence on each major component. It then takes the momentum of those findings and bashes them up against other key findings in the field. This collision attempts to alter and amend rigid and soft discoveries in the field, also inquiring: how does my research challenge or support what others have been saying? Does it pick sides, or join them together? After engaging in this academic conflict, the discussion then waves its peace sign, seeking resolution between competing arguments in the field. This synthesis seeks to overcome doubts about the findings and apply your research outside of research. It asks the vital question once our doubts have been clarified through evidence or argument: how can these new assertions be put into practice? Finally, the limitations of your research are disclosed with attention to how future researchers and practitioners can overcome those limitations.
The conclusion again reiterates the significance of your findings with a renewed boldness. With the limitations discussed, it is time to offer your final word on the project. Align this proclamation with key conflicts and origins of your work. Your ‘take-aways’ will immediately appear grounded and memorable to your reader. Think hard about what the purpose of your article was, why it began and what it discovered, and affirm its significance. | <urn:uuid:c92b59c9-548f-4f92-b48c-dfb8aa32f411> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://pressbooks.bccampus.ca/undergradresearch/chapter/summary-11/ | 2023-09-22T12:09:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.9457 | 274 |

Excessive alcohol use is a common response to coping with stress. Alcohol use increased following the September 11th terrorist attacks and Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The COVID-19 pandemic is following this same path. However, this pandemic is different in its scope and duration. COVID-19 is associated with both negative health and economic impacts, as well as grief, loss, and prolonged stress and uncertainty.
The emotional impact of COVID-19 on women
According to the U.S. National Pandemic Emotional Impact Report, compared to men, women reported higher rates of pandemic-related changes in productivity, sleep, mood, health-related worries, and frustrations with not being able to do enjoyable activities. Women with children under age 18 had higher rates of clinically significant anxiety, compared to men with children under age 18 and to women with no minor children. Women are more likely to shoulder the burden of household tasks, caregiving, and child-rearing than men. Stay-at-home orders to stop transmission of COVID-19 led to decreased childcare support and the additional burden of remote schooling.
Rising rates of alcohol use in women
You only need to glance at social media to get the message that there is a “cure” for pandemic-related stress: alcohol. Social media sites are rife with memes of moms drinking to relieve their stress. And alcohol is now easier than ever to obtain through delivery sites and apps. Therefore, it is not surprising that we are seeing a disproportionate effect of the pandemic on women’s alcohol use. Rates of alcohol use, heavy drinking (defined as four or more drinks on one occasion), and related disorders in women were rising even before the pandemic. Between 2001–02 and 2012–13, there was a 16% increase in the proportion of women who drink alcohol, a 58% increase in women’s heavy drinking (versus 16% in men), and an 84% increase in women’s one-year prevalence of an alcohol use disorder (versus 35% in men).
This is in part due to changing social norms around female alcohol consumption and the alcohol industry’s targeted marketing to women. The pandemic has further increased rates of alcohol use in women. According to a RAND Corporation study, during the pandemic women have increased their heavy drinking days by 41% compared to before the pandemic. Additional research has shown that the psychological stress related to COVID-19 was associated with greater drinking for women, but not men.

I’m Chris Cheng. I’m running for Nashville’s Metro Council at Large to:
- Preserve our parks, greenways, and recreational spaces.
- Invest in our libraries, schools, art hubs, and community centers.
- Advocate for safe and sustainable countywide infrastructure.
- Support our teachers, first responders, and metro employees.
- Champion our small businesses and local entrepreneurs.
I have tremendous energy and enthusiasm for this city. I love the people here. I’m running to make Nashville a better place for all of us. This is home.
Champion for Local Small Businesses: I’m running to be the Metro Council’s steadfast advocate for local small businesses – integral pieces of our city’s unique culture, taste, and charm. My wife and I are farmers market vendors. We own Hot Sauce Nashville, a local hot sauce company. I’m whole-heartedly grateful for our small business community and the local support. I want to commit my energy to representing and serving our local entrepreneurial community. Whatever the policy or issue, I’d strive to advocate for our local small businesses: How would a new policy proposal impact our small business community? How could upcoming development plans best support the locally owned shops, restaurants, and makers?
Community Investments: I’m passionate about supporting our public places that help build neighborhood bonds and strengthen community relationships: preserving our parks, outdoor recreational areas, and greenways; investing in our libraries, art hubs, farmers markets, and community centers. We should be investing in our neighborhoods all across Davidson County.
Infrastructure: I want to advocate for safe and sustainable countywide infrastructure: smooth roads, clean water, reliable utilities, green parks, safe sidewalks, attainable housing, and ubiquitous internet access. I’d collaborate with our local sustainability organizations to guide our county towards building a cleaner environment and strengthening our land and waterways for extreme weather and natural disasters.
I feel motivated and equipped to negotiate the public-private partnerships that will be essential in addressing many of our current and future challenges. I have government leadership experience (as an Army Ranger Officer) and private business experience (as a small business owner). After my military service, I earned Masters Degrees in Public Policy and Business Administration from Harvard University. I’m hungry to use my education and experiences to serve the people of Nashville.
I have tremendous energy and enthusiasm for this city. I was born here, educated here, played sports here, and started a local food business here. I know the neighborhoods. I work the farmers markets. I partner with our local restaurants, shops, and small businesses. I love the people here. This is home.
I would be grateful for your vote. | <urn:uuid:094b60f7-8d77-4db4-ba15-d3c9345766e3> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://pridepublishinggroup.com/2023/08/31/meet-chris-cheng-candidate-for-nashville-metro-council-at-large-for-sept-14-election/ | 2023-09-22T12:33:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.935052 | 568 |

Self-management skills are key to maintaining a healthy lifestyle and achieving success in any area of life. What are some ways to develop self management skills?
We all have triggers that can lead us into bad habits, so it’s important to be aware of what sets us off. Once we know our triggers, we can set realistic goals for ourselves and make a plan of action to avoid falling back into old patterns.
Additionally, seeking support from others and taking care of ourselves physically and emotionally are essential self-management strategies.
In this article, you will learn what are some ways to develop self management skills so you can manage your behaviors, thoughts, and emotions in a productive way.

What Are Some Ways to Develop Self Management Skills?
When it comes to self-management, one of the most important things you can do is to understand your triggers.
What sets you off?
What makes you angry, anxious, or stressed?
Once you know your triggers, you can start to develop strategies for managing them.
What are some ways to develop self management skills?
1. Know Your Triggers
As we mentioned, this is key to self-management. Once you know what sets you off, you can begin to develop strategies for dealing with it.
2. Develop a Positive Coping Mechanism
When you’re feeling triggered, it’s important to have a positive way to cope with the emotions you’re feeling. This could be through journaling, talking to a friend, or even going for a walk.
3. Practice Self-Compassion
It’s important to be gentle with yourself when you’re managing your triggers. Be patient and understanding with yourself, and remember that everyone has triggers and struggles with self-management at times.
4. Seek Professional Help
If you’re struggling to manage your triggers on your own, don’t be afraid to seek professional help. A therapist can help you understand your triggers and develop healthy coping mechanisms.
Set Realistic Goals
When it comes to self-management, one of the most important things you can do is to set realistic goals. This can be difficult, as we often have lofty aspirations and want to achieve as much as possible.
However, it’s important to remember that we can’t do everything at once and that we need to be realistic in our expectations.
One way to set realistic goals is to break them down into smaller, more manageable pieces.
For example, if your goal is to lose 20 pounds, you can break it down into losing 2 pounds per week. This way, you’re more likely to stick to your goal and see results.
Another way to set realistic goals is to make sure they are specific. Instead of saying you want to “lose weight,” you can say you want to “lose 20 pounds.” With a clear target to aim for, you’ll be more likely to stay on track.
Finally, it’s important to remember that goals should be achievable. If you set a goal that’s too difficult, you’re likely to get discouraged and give up. However, if you set a goal that’s achievable, you’ll be more likely to stay motivated and see success.
Self-management is an important skill to develop, and by setting realistic goals, you can take one step closer to success.
Make a Plan of Action
If you’re someone who struggles with self-management, don’t worry – you’re not alone. A lot of people have trouble staying on top of things and keeping themselves organized.
But the good news is that there are some things you can do to improve your self-management skills.
1. Make a Plan of Action
One of the best ways to make sure you’re staying on track is to have a plan of action. Sit down and figure out what tasks you need to complete and when you need to complete them. This will help you stay focused and avoid getting overwhelmed.
2. Set Deadlines
If you’re the type of person who tends to procrastinate, setting deadlines can be a great way to force yourself to get things done. When you have a deadline, you’re more likely to stay on track and get the task completed.
3. Break Down Tasks Into Smaller Pieces
If you’re facing a large or daunting task, it can be helpful to break it down into smaller pieces. This will make the task seem less overwhelming and will help you stay focused on each individual step.
4. Find a System That Works for You
There are a lot of different ways to stay organized and on top of things. Find a system that works for you and stick to it. This might mean using a planner, setting up reminders on your phone, or anything else that helps you stay on track.
5. Hold Yourself Accountable
One of the most important aspects of self-management is holding yourself accountable. If you don’t meet your own standards, it’s important to take responsibility and make the necessary changes.
Seek Support From Others
We all know that self-care is important, but sometimes it’s hard to do everything on our own. That’s why it’s so important to seek support from others.
What are some ways to develop self-management skills?
1. Join a Support Group
There are groups for just about everything these days, so there’s bound to be one that can help you with whatever issue you’re facing.
Whether it’s a group for people with anxiety, parents of young children or people who are going through a tough time, being around others who understand what you’re going through can be a huge help.
2. Talk to a Therapist
If you’re struggling with something, talking to a therapist can be a huge help. They can provide you with tools and strategies to deal with whatever you’re going through.
3. Talk to a Friend
Sometimes, all you need is to talk to someone who will understand and be there for you. If you are not comfortable talking to someone you know, there are plenty of helplines you can call.
4. Get a Hobby
Having something to focus on can be a great way to take your mind off of things. It can also give you a sense of accomplishment and make you feel good about yourself.
Exercise is a great way to relieve stress and boost your mood. It doesn’t have to be anything intense, even a simple walk around the block can make a difference.
Meditation can help you focus and calm your mind. There are plenty of apps and websites that can help you get started.
7. Practice Self-Care
Make sure to take care of yourself both physically and emotionally. Stick to a healthy diet, get enough sleep, and take some time for yourself every day.
8. Seek Professional Help
If you’re struggling with something serious, don’t hesitate to seek professional help. There’s no shame in getting the help you need.
Take Care of Yourself
One of the best pieces of advice anyone can give is to simply take care of yourself. It sounds easy enough, but in reality, it can be quite difficult.
However, if you want to be successful in anything – whether it’s your career, your personal relationships, or anything else – it’s essential that you take care of yourself first and foremost.
So how can you go about taking care of yourself?
- Set goals for yourself and strive to achieve them.
- Be organized and efficient in your work.

How investing in world-class remote monitoring solutions for your goods and services separates a good company from a great one.
INSPIRING ENTREPRENEUR BETTYE RODGERS LAUNCHED NEW TECHNOLOGY
Inspiring entrepreneurs change lives. Bettye’s first business installed car-locking devices in the cars of drunk drivers. There was a lot of resistance to these devices because they were new. But Bettye fought for her company and what it could do. In the process, she also advocated for drunk drivers and gave them the chance to get back on the road safely.
LIFE IS A LEARNING OPPORTUNITY
Bettye liked to help people, which was how she found herself in nursing school. Her plans took an interesting turn when she was offered a flight nurse position immediately after graduation. Before she knew it, she was one of the first flight nurses in the country. The job was as exciting as she thought it would be. Day in and day out, she made larger than life decisions thousands of feet up in the sky. This experience prepared her for her life of entrepreneurship.
She started her first company with Dr. Thomas Frist, who later went on to found the Hospital Corporation of America. In the early days, the company’s name was RF for Roger Atkins and Fielder. The business helped placed pharmacists into hospitals and healthcare facilities on a part-time basis. Bettye learned her first important lesson early on. While they made good business as RF, their clients multiplied when they rebranded their firm as Healthcare Staff Resources. The clear and straightforward name allowed customers to find them more easily. And vice versa.
RUN YOUR BUSINESS WITH A CLEAR PURPOSE
Bettye launched Smart Start in 1993 to install car-locking devices in the cars of DWI offenders. Instead of penalizing DWI offenders with jail time, she wanted to get them back on the road safely and within reason. She was met with initial resistance from the local judicial department because they thought she was belittling the drunk driving offense. Bettye made it clear that she was working for everyone’s best interests. Smart Start allowed law enforcement to monitor DWI offenders because the car-locking devices were equipped with GPS. The devices also gave DWI offenders a second chance behind the wheel.
Smart Start eventually became Track What Matters, a full-service tracking solutions company for businesses that shipped goods all across the country. Based out of Flower Fields, Texas, Track What Matters monitors vehicles, assets, and information specifically in the way each client needs.
How tracking solutions maximize gains across a distribution platform
Above all, Bettye Rodgers believes in the power of commitment.
Her companies are the result of good effort and honest work, which is part of what makes her such an inspiring entrepreneur.

Same Sex Parenting in CA
Parental rights are separate from marital ones, and exist independently of sexual orientation and relationship status. However, same sex couples can face unique challenges, when it comes to child custody and establishing parentage.
In order to exercise parental authority—and to avoid future child custody problems—it’s important for same sex parents to establish themselves as their child’s legal parent, as soon as possible.
Here’s what you need to know about same sex parenting in California, and what the Provinziano team can do to help protect your family in these important matters.
Same Sex Parenting: Child Custody Basics
In family law, child custody refers to the wide range of rights and responsibilities that a parent has over their child. Parental rights are not the same as marital rights, and exist independently of sexual orientation and relationship status.
In California, these rights and responsibilities break down into two main categories:
1. Legal custody—a parent’s right to make decisions on behalf of their child, and to determine how they will be raised.
2. Physical custody—a parent’s right to have physical contact with their child, and to live under the same roof.
When parents get divorced, these rights must be divided and shared between spouses. Judges can grant rights to both parents in “joint custody,” or to one parent, alone (called “sole custody”). These decisions are made, according to the child’s best interest.
In California, same sex couples enjoy the same rights to custody, visitation, and child support, as opposite sex partners. However, in order to exercise these rights, you must first establish yourself as the child’s legal parent.
A legal parent has gained formal recognition as a child’s parent through either birth, adoption, or some other legal proceeding.
Legal parents have the right to make decisions about their child, including health and medical procedures, education, religious exposure, and social upbringing. They also have the authority to argue for custody, visitation, and child support rights in court.
The easiest way to become a child’s legal parent is through birth. When a child is born to married partners, spouses in that union are automatically considered to be that child’s legal parents. In California, this presumption of parenthood is extended to both hetero and same sex partners, alike.
Unmarried, same sex parents who do not establish themselves as a legal parent, however, may find it more difficult to argue for child custody and parental rights, down the road.
Same Sex Child Custody Disputes
A parent’s legal status—or lack, thereof—can have a tremendous impact on child custody disputes.
In these situations, a legally recognized parent would have a clear advantage over a non-legal parent. If both parents are legally recognized, however, then the case becomes more straightforward.
Here are three child custody scenarios that often rise between same sex couples, and how legal parentage affects each of one.
1. Child is Adopted by Both Parents
In this first example, parental rights are relatively straightforward. If both parents have adopted their child, then both are considered to be its legal parents. Thus, both have full rights to claim child custody during a dispute, and equal authority to do so.
2. Child is Born into Marriage
According to California’s presumption of parenthood, a child born to married partners is automatically considered to be the legal offspring of the spouses in that union.
California is one of very few states that grants this presumption to both hetero, as well as same sex parents, alike—even though only one of the parents is biologically related to the child.
In order to accommodate for the rights of a child’s other biological parent, California law allows up to three parents to be listed on a child’s birth certificate. This gives all parties involved the ability to exercise their parental rights, and sue for custody, during a dispute.
3. Child is Born to Unmarried, Same Sex Parents
Finally, we have unmarried, same sex co-parents. Here, either: 1) the biological parent is the child’s only legally recognized parent; or 2) a non-biological, adopted parent is the only legally registered parent.
In both of these scenarios, only one parent is recognized as the child’s legal parent. This puts the non-legal parent at a significant disadvantage, if the couple ever breaks up, and makes it much more difficult for them to gain child custody.
That being said, it’s not impossible, and the court may give custody rights to a non-legal co-parent, depending on the circumstances.
Child Custody and Non-Legal Parents
California courts recognize that—as far as kids are concerned—the only things that really matter in a parent are responsibility, copious amounts of love, and selfless care. And that furthermore, legal adoption is not necessary, in order for a co-parent to fulfill a parental role in a child’s life.
That’s why, in some situations, the California courts may grant a non-biological / non-legal co-parent custody rights, without requiring a formal adoption.
When this happens, that individual is called a “de facto parent.”
De Facto Parents
A de facto parent is someone who cares for a child in a parental capacity, but is not recognized as their legal parent.
In determining whether an individual qualifies for this status, the court will consider:
- Whether the non-parent lived in the same house as the child.
- Whether the child’s legal parent was aware of—and consented to—the formation of a parent/child bond.
- Whether the non-parent took responsibility for the child’s development, care, education, and financial needs.
- Whether the relationship lasted long enough for the child to form a parent/child bond with the non-parent adult.
As you can see, becoming a de facto parent requires more than just a romantic relationship between partners. Instead, there must be an established, long-term bond between adult and child, and will only be granted when continued contact is in the child’s best interest.
This can be an incredibly difficult, uphill battle for anyone, but especially for same sex parents, who may find themselves facing a judge with strong prejudices against their relationship status.
For these reasons it’s much better to establish yourself as a legal parent, as soon as possible, and not wait for a child custody dispute to arise.
Attorneys for Same Sex Parents in California
Parental rights are the same, no matter what type of relationship you’re in. However, for same sex parents, there can sometimes be some additional hurtles to overcome, when it comes to child custody. That’s why it’s so important to have a skilled attorney you can trust.

Have you ever looked at your tummy rolls or love handles and wished the extra fat would shift to your butt or breasts? If you have, there is a solution to your wish– Sandy Springs fat transfer. The minimally invasive process entails harvesting fat from your problematic areas and shifting it to a site that might benefit from the fatty tissue. Since the treatment uses your fat, chances of experiencing adverse reactions are minimal. Additionally, your results might last longer. Thus, a fat transfer is an ideal alternative to Botox injections and dermal fillers.
What should you consider before going for the procedure?
One of the essential aspects your healthcare provider will consider before he advises you to go for the treatment is sufficient fat. Thus, you must have enough fat for the treatment. It might be challenging for the medical professional to perform liposuction in an area with no fat. The aesthetician might also advise you to stay away from tobacco because the product is likely to damage your internal tissues and cells. Therefore, your aesthetician might suggest the surgical procedure if you:
- Wish to enhance specific parts of your body
- Have sufficient fat tissue for the treatment
- Have realistic expectations
- Wish to reduce fat tissue in an area of your body
- Have no circulation concerns
Before the treatment, ensure you discuss your expectations with your aesthetician. The medical expert will evaluate your unique goals and tell you if they are realistic and if the treatment will best suit your situation.
Which areas are likely to benefit from a fat transfer procedure?
The tiny, visible veins and grooves on your hands are likely to shout your chronological age. Fat transfer to the specific areas will help add volume to your hands, covering up the aging signs, giving your hands a younger and smoother feel.
Brazilian butt lifts are no longer a preserve for celebrities. The fat transfer is the ultimate procedure, especially if you want to flaunt an hourglass figure. Decreasing fat from another site and transferring it to your backside contours your butt, giving it a voluminous gorgeous silhouette. Unlike butt implants, the transfer of fat to your backside for enhancement is safe with natural results.
As you age, your collagen production significantly decreases. As a result, you might start developing sunken cheeks. Additionally, the aging sign might also cause fine ad wrinkles to start appearing on various parts of your face, including your forehead, as your skin loses volume gradually.
There are various reasons why the three-step minimally invasive process of harvesting, purifying, and re-injection is significantly gaining popularity. For instance:
- It is a natural (autologous) approach
- Minimal risk of injection because the procedure entails using natural fat and not foreign substances
- The harvesting rids the area of unwanted fat
- You will have natural results
- Minimal scars
- Your recovery depends on the number of fat transfers
Knowing whether you need a breast augmentation or a Brazilian butt lift or fat transfer to add volume to your breasts or butt area might be challenging. However, discussing your expectations with your healthcare provider will make your decision-making easier. Schedule an appointment with your aesthetician to know how you can benefit from a fat surgery transfer. | <urn:uuid:3122e877-aca8-403a-9ba9-116394592ff8> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://pshav.com/minimize-and-enhance-your-physical-features-naturally-with-fat-transfer/ | 2023-09-22T11:59:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.928764 | 666 |

Global Cancer Statistics 2022: the trends projection analysis
Cancer is one of the most fatal diseases of recent times that causes several deaths every year. The disease variations in different parts of the world, the impact of available medical facilities, and other socio-economic factors have impacted the proper management of this disease. The comparative statistical data of cancer types like breast, prostate, colon, lung, lymph, blood, brain, and kidney cancers can be used to design treatment strategies and therapeutics development. With the advancement of science, several drugs besides diagnostic methods have emerged to control respective cancer and have assisted in curing this disease to some extent. The comparative statistics analysis for cancer about current prevalence is included here to bring a clear framework for the efforts towards future drug development to manage this disease. The availability of new diagnostics and therapeutics and advanced medical facilities in clinics impact cancer statistics. An evaluation of current trends and statistics of cancer pathology vis-à-vis theranostics (diagnostics as well as therapeutics) progress with possible application in clinical settings constitutes the core part of the discussion in this review.

Welcome, my lovely readers, to Punished Notes, Volume 30! I can’t believe I’ve actually done 30 of these silly things! For this special edition, I’ve decided to jot down 30 total notes, mostly covering Street Fighter 6 and some other new releases, but also with references to a couple of indies and an old TV show I’m watching that holds up better than it should.
At this time, I want to thank all the other writers at The Punished Backlog for making this site the special place it is; David Silbert, for bringing me in years ago; and all my readers, including my mom who always shares my blogs on Facebook without really knowing much about games at all. Let’s see if we’ll get to Volume 60 at some point!
Street Fighter 6 Notes
-I’ve heard a lot of people say that fighting games have made somewhat of a comeback in recent years, particularly with the more fleshed-out story modes of recent Mortal Kombat titles and the growth of esports. For the most part, I’ve been skeptical of this so-called renaissance, since the games themselves have mostly felt like scaled-up versions of all-too-familiar experiences that cater way too much to competitive audiences (and, of course, are riddled with microtransactions).
That said, Street Fighter 6 has made me a believer in this new era of fighting games, with its innovative approach to control setups, delightful art style, and excellent (and diverse) roster of playable fighters. The game strikes the perfect balance between being welcoming to new (or, like me, not very good) players and competitive enough for long-time veterans, and that’s something I can’t honestly say about any major new fighting game in years.
-More than anything else, Street Fighter 6’s modern control scheme is the big difference-maker for me. I’ve always enjoyed this franchise, but I always hit a skill ceiling fairly early, especially with new fighters. With this newer (and, to be clear, optional) control scheme, which simplifies specials to a single button and makes certain combo inputs much easier to understand, I now feel capable (and even confident) in online play. I’m even excited to try out every fighter, especially ones whose move sets might be too complicated with classic controls. Byzantine controls in fighting games can create a barrier for new and casual players, and I’m delighted that the latest Street Fighter has managed to shatter that barrier without taking anything away from competition junkies and esports cosplayers.
–SF6 evolves the language of the Street Fighter series not just through its controls, but through its updated visual style. The splash of paint after each successful counter-attack perfectly matches the vibrancy of each character’s design, as well as their unique style of combat.
-World Tour mode has its moments, especially with all the Final Fight references and lighthearted vibes, but overall it’s nothing special and something I’ve largely ignored. I do appreciate the fighter customization options, though, especially the option to mix and match special moves from a variety of Masters.
–SF6 might be one of the biggest “bounce back” titles I’ve ever played, certainly after the largely forgettable Street Fighter V. I thought I had completely lost interest in the series after V’s cromulent but mostly lackluster offerings, but I’ve been proven wrong, which happens too much to me these days. 6 might honestly be my favorite game in the whole damn franchise.
-I understand why Luke is the first Master in World Tour mode, because he’s a pretty standard fighter with easy moves to understand, but why the hell is he on the cover by himself? Of all the incredible fighters available, Capcom picked the blandest white dude who’s not even a new character?
-I love that the Arcade mode stories range from Juri’s Kill Bill-style revenge tale to E. Honda just wanting to find a good place to build a restaurant, but for some reason he has to fight people in every city to do that.
-The art style is fantastic, since it’s photorealistic but still maintains a level of absurdity through massive hands/feet and ridiculous body movements and contortions.
-This is the first SF game I’ve ever played where I actually stand a chance playing online, and not just because of the updated controls. I truly, honestly believe Capcom’s balanced out this roster nearly perfectly, to the point where I don’t think any loss I’ve incurred has been due to weird fighter matchups. I still struggle online against Lily and Kimberly, but that might just be a me thing.
-Favorite old fighter: Ken. Favorite new fighter: Marisa (“That was a BEAUTIFUL fight!”).
-One of my favorite little details? The classic arcade cabinets you can play in the Battle Hub. I’ve mostly avoided the Hub, since you can do online matchmaking without it, but I visit every now and then just for a chance to play Final Fight or Mega Man: The Power Battle for a few minutes.
-I still hate Zangief. Fuck that guy.
More The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Notes
This section contains spoilers for Tears of the Kingdom. If you would like to avoid those, please skip to the next section on Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.
-The twist with Zelda turning into a dragon to restore the Master Sword might be the most beautiful and devastating thing I experienced from any Zelda game and resulted in what might be the best “Link gets the Master Sword” sequence in the whole franchise.
-The final Ganondorf fight was incredible, as it legitimately felt like it tested the player’s skills and creativity in many regards, particularly the player’s dodge and parry abilities. Plus, the final set piece with Ganondorf as a dragon, though extremely easy, might have been my favorite final Ganon form in the whole series.
-My favorite set of side quests so far has to be the Stable Trotters musicians quests, since they highlight the things that make The Legend of Zelda as a series stand out from most fantasy games: creative puzzle solving, music as a mechanic, and a tinge of horniness from large fairy women.
-I’ve reached a point with Tears of the Kingdom dozens of times where I thought, “OK, I think I’m done for a while,” only to come crawling back maybe a day or two later. No other game has had quite this magnetic pull on me before, not even Breath of the Wild.
-I’m still not sure where I’d rank TOTK in my overall Zelda games list, but at this point of time, it’s no lower than third. Ocarina of Time and A Link to the Past might just be the top two forever in my book.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Notes
–Jedi: Survivor is mechanically better than its predecessor, Jedi: Fallen Order, in nearly every way, but I’m not sure its narrative is quite as compelling. Sure, Cal is a more well-defined character in Survivor, but the overall plot isn’t quite as sharp or as direct as I had hoped.
-The added side quests are a nice touch, but after a while I just stopped caring about them. This is typically what happens when you present a story with fully linear progression and then ask the player to care about all these little other things.
-Much like in other recent gaming treasures, adding a grappling hook REALLY makes a difference in the minute-to-minute enjoyment of the experience.
-To be honest, as much as I enjoyed Survivor, it’s so clearly inferior to Tears of the Kingdom (which released just two weeks after Survivor) that I barely even think about it anymore. I don’t think I’ve ever gone from “loved this!” to mostly forgetting about something quite so rapidly.
-I’m already hearing gamers discuss 2023 as potentially the best-ever year of gaming, and I completely understand why. I still just think that, despite the already excellent lineup of releases we’ve seen, we need to let a few years pass before determining just how important or long-lasting these games will be.
–Planet of Lana is a cute 2D non-verbal puzzle platformer, much like Inside and Limbo, but isn’t nearly as interesting as either of them. Some of the puzzles can be obtuse, the stealth sections are largely unoriginal, and its beautiful art style isn’t good enough to overcome largely bland environmental design.
–Minecraft Legends might win the (fake) award this year for Most Cromulent Game. It has great visuals, solid crafting and RTS-lite mechanics, and some genuinely great cutscenes. Its campaign, however, isn’t well-balanced, the (very pretty) overworld doesn’t have all that much in it, and every main mission feels largely the same. Overall, it’s a nice idea that’s mostly well executed, though not something I see myself returning to in the future.
-The scale and cadence of Halo Infinite’s post-launch content drops have been disappointing, to say the least, but what 343 Industries actually have added is very good and brings me back every time, at least for a play session or two. Every new map and multiplayer mode the studio adds is worth the time, though such additions remain few and far between.
–Kirby: Return to Dream Land Deluxe highlights why this series continues to have broad appeal: Nearly every game in the franchise presents an easy, carefree experience but doesn’t infantilize the player. There are no endless tutorials, every enemy actually does damage, and every level contains real hazards, even if they’re easily avoidable. Sure, death is fairly rare in Return to Dream Land, and you can just float past every roadblock, but there’s plenty of depth with each copy ability and enough secrets and collectibles to elevate the experience beyond just being a kid’s toy.
-Another note on Kirby: I was skeptical of the cel-shaded art direction at first, but it really does shine on the Switch, even at times looking like one of the prettiest games on the platform. It serves as a good reminder of the number of ways developers can manipulate different visual styles to get the most out of underpowered hardware.
–Signalis has some truly terrifying (and brilliant) environmental design, and I love the PS1-era art direction, but I think the clunky tank controls—intentional as they may be—make the whole experience frustrating in key moments. Maybe I have little appreciation for this style because I didn’t play the old Resident Evil games, but it’s clear why this form of gameplay has largely been phased out.
-Interestingly enough, my favorite parts of Signalis are the sudden (and unexpected) cuts to a first-person perspective. I’m not sure yet why the game does this narratively, but I generally like it when a change in the player’s viewpoint forces them to see the game’s world differently.
-I’ve been binging The West Wing recently, and I’ve got to say: It holds up FAR better than I had imagined. Prior to watching the show, I was worried the political discourse of the early aughts would seem foreign to a modern viewer, particularly in a post-Trump (and post-insurrection) political landscape. Don’t get me wrong: There’s still plenty of cringe-worthy monologues, and a lot of stances that would have been considered centrist or moderate at the time now feel increasingly polarized. That said, the writing on this show is phenomenal, the rapid walk-and-talk sections are constantly engaging, and the characters all teem with charisma and depth. If you go into it knowing the series probably wouldn’t be made the same way now, you’ll find a lot to appreciate. | <urn:uuid:88ccbfa4-683a-45c3-9a80-dada312e1b8d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://punishedbacklog.com/street-fighter-6-made-me-believe-in-fighting-games-again/ | 2023-09-22T12:20:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.947108 | 2,585 |
Library to render table-like data structure into XLSX and other formats.
The table-compositor library provides the API to render data stored in table-like data structures. Currently the library supports rendering data available in a Panda’s DataFrames. The DataFrame layout is used as the table layout(including single and multi hierarchical columns/indices) by the library. The table layout is rendered directly on to an XLSX sheet or to a HTML page. Styling and layout attributes can be used to render colorful XLSX or HTML reports. The library also supports rendering of multiple dataframes into a single XLSX sheet or HTML page. The objective of the library is to be able to use the DataFrame as the API to configure the style and layout properties of the report. Callback functions are provided to customize all styling properties. The nice thing about the callback functions are that the style properties are set on cells indexed with index/column values available in the original dataframe used during rendering.

Identifying and Monitoring Rockfall Precursors Using Terrestrial Laser Scanning for Improved Rockfall Hazard Management

Rockfalls threaten communities and infrastructure in mountainous regions worldwide and have been a particularly problematic hazard along the transportation corridors in western Canada. These types of failures are traditionally managed using rockfall hazard management frameworks that are based on a historical analysis of rockfall activity. These frameworks do not fully consider the complexity of the natural rock slopes, nor indicate where and when a potential failure may occur. Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) has been beneficial for monitoring and assessing rock slope hazards and has the potential to identify incipient signs of rock slope failure. The aim of this thesis is to use TLS to better manage rockfall hazard along transportation corridors by including quantitative measures of precursor activity into hazard analysis strategies and through the development of near-real time automated TLS systems for early warning purposes. In the first part of the thesis, monitoring at 2-3-month intervals was conducted with TLS at a variety of rock slopes located along the CN Rail line in the Thompson River valley over the four-year duration of this research. Over one hundred rockfalls in the range of 0.1 to 4200 m3, exhibiting precursor activity in the form of pre-failure deformation, smaller precursor rockfalls and tension crack openings were studied and compiled into a database. The approach included: (i) identifying potential rockfall source zones based on incipient signs of failure; (ii) tracking kinematics in three dimensions to better understand the mechanisms of failure; (iii) estimating potential failure volumes based on bounding joint structure; and (iv) transmitting this information to the railway operator for an assessment of risk. The second part of the thesis focused on monitoring at near continuous levels, which is required to identify the accelerating phase prior to rockfall failure which is necessary to forecast failure time in early warning systems. A complete series of analysis tools was developed to process and analyze TLS data autonomously in near real-time. This included tools to filter outliers, register point clouds, conduct change detection using spatial and temporal neighbourhood averaging and to display time series of deformation. The system was tested for a 6-week period at a rockslide in the French alps. The contributions in this thesis (i) enhance current rockfall hazard analysis methods by including quantitative measurements of precursor activity, (ii) improve our understanding of the pre-failure stage of rock slope failures and (iii) opened the door for future studies of rock slope failure at a high temporal density using TLS. | <urn:uuid:f25a18b2-d246-417d-802b-54594a57c8b7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://qspace.library.queensu.ca/items/343be8b1-812b-4995-bd11-d4181862a3e5 | 2023-09-22T10:54:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.923817 | 582 |

The leader of South Africa’s fastest growing opposition movement threatened to take up arms if the government responds violently to potential protests during municipal elections in August.
“Part of the revolutionary duty is to fight and we are not ashamed if the need arises for us to take up arms and fight,” said Julius Malema, leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters, in an exclusive interview with Al Jazeera late Sunday.
The ruling African National Congress criticized Malema’s comments as “clear incitement to people to commit acts of violence,” in a statement on Monday, calling for an official investigation.
During the Al Jazeera interview, Malema also said that the Economic Freedom Fighters are a peaceful party that preferred to fight their political battles in court and in parliament, but would respond in kind if the ruling party used violence.
“We’ll run out patience very soon and we’ll remove this government through a barrel of a gun,” he said.
The Economic Freedom Fighters’ spokesman told a local radio station that Malema’s comments were linked to perceived irregularities in the 2014 election that saw the army deployed to stop pockets of violence. The spokesman said Malema was responding to President Jacob Zuma’s disregard of the constitution in general.
Such inflammatory statements are likely only to increase Malema’s grassroots popularity. He has threatened violence previously. Before he and Zuma became political foes, Malema said in 2008 that he would “kill for Zuma.” He was kicked out of the African National Congress in 2012 when as leader of the party’s youth league he made statements that were seen as inciting regime change in neighboring Botswana.
After launching the Economic Freedom Fighters in 2014, Malema and his new party have become popular with some of South Africa’s youth and the poor. Where some see political gaffes, others see a leader willing to tell the truth in an uncertain political and economic climate.
Only months after being launched, the EFF won over 6% of the national vote in 2014. Referring to themselves as “the government in waiting,” Malema’s party is determined to increase their local footprint after the August 3 municipal elections. | <urn:uuid:7624e1df-583c-4fdd-bcfb-23fed6ed64bd> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://qz.com/africa/669757/south-african-opposition-leaders-cheap-shot-could-be-a-dangerous-one | 2023-09-22T11:51:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.965821 | 461 |

During an appearance on the Tuesday, December 1, “All Things Vanderpump” podcast episode, a fan asked the former WWE Diva, 37, if she congratulated the pro wrestler, 43, after his wedding. “I haven’t … but yeah, I didn’t,” she said at the time, then asked, “Are there rules? Am I supposed to? Should I send flowers?” Podcast host Lisa Vanderpump responded by advising the reality star to “get out of this really elegantly” and send her ex a message of congratulations.
“John, congratulations on your wedding. I’m very, very happy for you," Bella said.
In November, the Total Divas star revealed during an interview with Us Weekly that the Blockers actor reached out after she gave birth. “John and I will be tied forever," she said at the time. “All I’ve ever wanted was for him to be happy. So, it makes me happy when I see that and, like, him kicking butt in the movie world and all that stuff. I love that!”
Bella and Cena were together for six years before calling it quits in 2018. She has since moved on with Artem Chigvintsev, who proposed in January. The Incomparable author and Dancing With the Stars pro welcomed their first child together, a son named Matteo, in July. Cena, for his part, was first romantically linked to Shariatzadeh, 29, in March 2019. Us Weekly confirmed that the couple tied the knot in a secret ceremony hosted in Florida on October 12. | <urn:uuid:146878b3-0233-4ae8-bed0-a48df7ce0925> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://radaronline.com/exclusives/2020/12/nikki-bella-congratulates-ex-john-cena-following-his-marriage-to-shay-shariatzadeh/ | 2023-09-22T12:39:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.981228 | 349 |

In this episode, you’re going to hear from a psychiatrist on a number of topics directly and tangentially related to finances and financial decision making. Later in the episode we talk about some financial behaviours under acute mental distress, a number of various pathways that lead to hoarding behaviours, and more. But we also discuss the effects of chronic decision fatigue, burnout, and corona insomnia that almost everyone seems to be experiencing. And I need to point out that today’s guest, Dr. Ajmal Razmy is one of my very best friends. We studied neuroscience together during our undergrad days at UofT and he continued with his masters and medical school, whereas I, after my last undergraduate exam, went to auto-racing school.
Dr. Razmy is a psychiatrist and mental health specialist at Cleveland Clinic Canada with a background in healthcare with a special interest in sleep medicine and hospital administration. He is currently a practicing psychiatrist and Head of Service (HoS) for Mental Health at Joseph Brant Hospital with a focus on acute care psychiatry. In the HoS role, he is helping lead Burlington’s mental health response to the novel Coronavirus across the hospital and community systems. Prior to this role, he worked at Trillium Health Partners, where he was the Service Medical Director for Acute Care Psychiatry, and has also served as a psychiatry member of the Consent and Capacity Board of Ontario.

Streaming the Best of World Soccer with Reddit MMA
Soccer is the most popular sport in the world, and with the increasing popularity, the demand for watching live matches has only increased. The problem is that many matches are only available on premium channels that require a cable subscription or online streaming services that require a paid subscription. But, if you are a fan of soccer and want to watch live matches for free, there is one platform that stands out, and that’s sportsurge mlb. Reddit is more than just a social media platform. It is also a hub of online communities, and one such community is dedicated to soccer streams. In this blog, we will guide you on how to watch free soccer streams on Reddit.
Find the Right Subreddit
The first step to watch soccer streams on Reddit is to find the right subreddit. Subreddits are communities within Reddit that are dedicated to a specific topic, including soccer streams. To find the right subreddit, you can use the search bar on the Reddit homepage and type in “soccer streams.” You should see a list of subreddits that are dedicated to soccer streams. Make sure to join a subreddit that provides high-quality streams and has active moderators to ensure a good streaming experience.
Find the Match Thread
After joining a subreddit dedicated to soccer streams, you need to find the match thread. The match thread contains information about the upcoming matches, including links to the streams. Once you find the match thread, scroll down to find the links to the streams. Keep in mind that these links are not always available until shortly before the match starts.
Select the Right Stream
Once you have found the links to the streams, you need to select the right one. There may be multiple links available for the same match, and not all of them are reliable. Look for streams that have the most upvotes, and try to avoid links with low upvotes or comments. You should also look for streams that have a good quality, including high resolution and a stable connection. Most streams will require a media player plugin to play the video, so make sure to have the necessary plugin installed.
Use a VPN Service
Using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) service is highly recommended when watching free soccer streams on Reddit. A VPN service encrypts your internet connection and hides your IP address, making it difficult for anyone to track your online activities. This means that you can watch soccer streams without worrying about any legal issues. Moreover, some streams may be unavailable in certain regions due to copyright law. With a VPN service, you can bypass geographic restrictions and access any stream, regardless of your location.
Be Careful of Malware
Watching free soccer streams on Reddit can be risky because some of the links may contain malware. Malware is malicious software that can harm your computer or steal your personal information. To avoid malware, make sure to use a reliable antivirus software and to use only high-quality streams from trusted sources. You should also avoid clicking on any suspicious links or downloading any software from unknown sources.
Watching free soccer streams on Reddit is a great way to enjoy live matches without paying anything. However, it is important to be careful and to use only reliable streams from trusted sources. Follow the steps outlined in this blog to watch soccer streams on Reddit safely and securely. Remember to find the right subreddit, locate the match thread, select the right stream, use a VPN service, and be careful of malware. With these tips, you can enjoy your favorite soccer matches without any hassle. | <urn:uuid:a7baf896-ddf0-43a3-ac42-10118a5edb11> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://ranchocarne.org/streaming-the-best-of-world-soccer-with-reddit-mma/ | 2023-09-22T12:57:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.940829 | 719 |

Another Daily painting.
Soon I expect to be working larger again.
In January 2011, I`ll be having an exhibit at the local Lakewood Center for the Arts. I`m happy to show my work in my new community, Lake Oswego.
Also, in the spirit of 'Do It Yourself' I`ve decided to offer some quick 'daily' work for sale here. A link is in the sidebar.

A daily painting.
Suddenly, I`m showing some work at Ojo Sarco Pottery in New Mexico. I`ve known the owners, Kathy and Jake, for years and we decided to give it go. The gallery is in the Sangre de Christo mountains on the high road to Taos. It`s a breathtaking location. Take a look at their gorgeous, functional pottery.

From a tiny study done in 2008.
Last weekend two talented painters drove up from California to work with me. Specifically, me and Yupo. I have developed a way, maybe attitude, allowing for more control and versatility. I found it a worthy thing to do because as a long time watercolorist, I loved how the brilliant white surface shone through the paint. But, being plastic, it`s tricky. We had great fun and although I`m not a teacher, they said it was just like a workshop. I do know I talked a lot. Sometimes in conversation with other artists, I startle myself with the intensity of my opinions.

When I began this series a couple of years ago, it was a hard time and I just wanted to paint. Without too much thought. You can do anything in a sky. I added the ocean for context and realized the horizon line had a lot of significance for me. As a reminder and advocate. 'Figure it out, what`s important'? Later I understood these little paintings were about the loss of my brother.
Joan Foth, the ambitious watercolorist, died this past summer in New Mexico. Although I didn`t know her well, she was a painting friend and we loved to talk art and the landscape. She did enormous watercolor paintings of Kansas and New Mexico. Long story, but she bought the property next to my great friend George. After Joan`s death, George was involved with sorting through her stuff. She asked me if I wanted a pad of paper probably remembering some connection with me. It was old Meridian drawing paper and the primary watercolor support I had used for 25 years before Pentalic changed the formulation. I had suggested Joan try it. Well it arrived last week and I was so overjoyed. This is my favorite paper ever and when I couldn`t get it anymore I quit painting watercolor for a long time. My discovery of Yupo happened because I was looking for something similar. Which it isn`t.
This is my first effort on this paper and it`s for Joan. She left the world some very beautiful paintings.

When we were walking on the old Columbia River Scenic Highway, now bike path last week, we saw evidence of a recent fire. In one area, a whole forest of small saplings were burnt into stillness. They probably began as new growth after a previous fire. As much as I understand science and nature, it`s still sad to see new life cut short.
The informative website for artists, Empty Easel, ran a nice profile of me yesterday!

Since John is on vacation, we went out into the Columbia River Gorge this week. Further than usual. Out of the rainforest to the transitional zone of Hood River. Here wet green Western Oregon turns dry and brilliant as one travels east. Quite beautiful with such interesting geology. Look at the sharp line of that escarpment!
Most of the year, where I live is a drizzly dreamy landscape. It was great to see defined clouds and hard edges. | <urn:uuid:4b4d390a-7379-4011-afef-78870d5fdcfb> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://randalldavidtipton.blogspot.com/2010/09/ | 2023-09-22T10:33:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.97615 | 856 |
Think of some of the expressions you hear. (Or worse, say yourself.) "I won't sell my soul for money." "You can't be successful unless you're willing to cheat people." There is this popular mind virus that success rests on immorality, exploitation or cheating others.
But statements like these are superficial and thoughtless, and ignore one of the fundamental truths about real prosperity...
True prosperity can only be created upon a moral foundation.

New electric vehicle models from several automakers are beginning to chip away at Tesla’s dominance of the U.S. electric vehicle market, according to state vehicle registration data.
But numbers compiled by S&P Global Mobility show that Tesla still controlled about 65% of the growing electric vehicle market through the nine months of this year. And competitors made gains in the sub-$50,000 sticker price range, where Tesla barely competes.
Between 2018 and 2020, Tesla had about 80% of the electric vehicle market. Its share fell to 71% in 2021 and has continued to decline, said Stephanie Brinley, co-director of S&P.
“Tesla’s position will change as new, more affordable options arrive that offer equal or better technology and manufacturing,” S&P Global Mobility said in a statement on Tuesday. “As consumer choice and consumer interest in electric vehicles continues to grow, Tesla’s ability to maintain dominant market share will be a challenge going forward.”
Electric vehicles have increased their U.S. market share by 2.4 percentage points this year, rising to 5.2 percent of all light vehicle registrations, according to S&P. S&P said that of the 525,000 electric vehicles registered in the first nine months of the year, about 65%, or 340,000, were Teslas.
Brinley said that despite the smaller market share, Tesla’s sales will continue to grow as consumer interest grows. “The electric vehicle market in 2022 is Tesla’s market, and it will remain so as long as competitors are tied to production capacity,” he said.
Shortages of computer chips and other parts have prevented many competitors, such as Ford, General Motors, Hyundai, Kia and Volkswagen, from operating factories at full capacity to meet demand.
Tesla also faces BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Polestar, Rivian, Lucid and others at the higher end of the market.
S&P said there are currently 48 electric vehicle models on sale in the U.S., and that number is projected to grow to 159 by the end of 2025.
Tesla plans to introduce its Cybertruck pickup truck next year and a new Roadster at an unspecified date, but otherwise its light vehicle lineup in 2025 will be the same as it is now, S&P said. The company plans to deliver some electric semis to PepsiCo on Thursday.
S&P also found that consumers who bought battery electric vehicles so far this year owned Honda and Toyota vehicles before the switch. Both companies have fuel-efficient internal combustion and hybrid models, but the introduction of EVs in the US has been slow. Toyota has only one model, while Honda has none until 2024.
Tesla’s Model Y small SUV and Model 3 small sedan were the top 2 SUVs, accounting for more than half of EV registrations, Brinley said. Ford’s Mustang Mach-E came in third, followed by two more Teslas, the Model S sedan and the X SUV. The top 10 EVs included the Chevrolet Bolt sedan and SUV, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, Volkswagen ID.4 and Nissan Leaf.

Welcome To #RavsRecs, a look inside the lives (and minds) of your Ravishly staffers. Every week we’ll be coming to you with a list of things that are probably useless but definitely awesome. This week, your favorite advice-giver, Erin, shares how she plans to while away those January hours.
When in doubt, I watch British crime dramas. There's a whole lot of murder-centric TV watching in my house in general, but the Brits really do it right. This week, I'm bingeing on The Level which takes place in present-day Brighton. It is full of suspicious characters doing suspicious things, and co-stars the mean gay butler from Downton Abbey. The show premiered last year in the U.K., and you can watch it on Acorn TV (which P.S. is essential for all of your Anglophile watching needs).
You know, I'm always up for some new tunes. This is what I'm feeling this week....
To Pass The Time:
So, I just signed up for Hunt A Killer. It's a subscription service that sends you a monthly package of tools, objects, and correspondence, AKA clues. You get to play detective to catch a fictional serial killer. So, of course, I signed up — because I'm a murderino. If anyone signs up, let me know, and we can do this together. Yeah! If you click here, you can use my 10% off code. Double yeah!
To Help Your Skin Survive Winter:
Anyone who knows me knows I am a HUGE fan of Glossier because of this, this, this, this (I could go on...). Well, this month they launched their Priming Moisturizer Rich which is EXACTLY what my winter in NYC skin needs. It smells great, it feels great, my skin loves it. You can click here and get 20% off. I can't say enough good things about Glossier products. And no, I am not a paid spokesperson; I just really really love their stuff.
That's all I've got for you this week. In the words of Karen and Georgia, "Stay Sexy; Don't get murdered!" | <urn:uuid:4646b00d-954c-448b-8f7b-dda3f67dbf03> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://ravishly.com/2017/01/20/ravsrecs-erin-gets-through-january-murder-music-and-face-cream | 2023-09-22T11:40:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.940432 | 481 |
News is information which was not known before or current affairs broadcast on the radio, television, internet or in print form. An interesting example of news is two married couples announcing their marriage in front of friends and family at a large family gathering. The information they shared was not known beforehand, as they were being wed in a foreign country. But when they announced it to their relatives and friends, their story became a well-known event.
In making news, many people use several methods, and some have particular themes. The news media has various ways of presenting information to the public. Some newspapers present in writing and other in pictures can be used as well. Pictures can be very memorable, especially if they are odd or unexpected. Even if they are not, they create a sense of surprise.
Newspapers in particular are extremely popular with readers, probably because of their affordable and instantly available content. Many newspapers have a better international circulation than most magazines, as more people from outside the US to read newspapers from all over the world than read many magazines. News also attracts listeners. Even if it is not a story that is reported on by the newspaper, many people get the information from the radio or television. So, news is a mix of both, including human interest and current events that are relevant to everyone. | <urn:uuid:fec1f862-eb8d-4924-b8a8-be26445f4844> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://rawperu.com/the-importance-of-news-in-society/ | 2023-09-22T10:36:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.98499 | 264 |
A spinal epidural abscess is a severe neurological condition that is treatable if diagnosed in time. If it goes undiagnosed, this rare medical condition can be extremely critical and cause lifelong disabilities or death.
If the delay in diagnosis or treatment was due to wrongful or negligent actions taken by a doctor or healthcare worker while the patient was under his or her care, there could be a claim for medical malpractice. A successful claim may result in an award of compensation for some of the expenses and harm the lack of proper care caused you or a loved one.
The medical malpractice lawyers at Raynes & Lawn are experienced in evaluating medical negligence. This article will cover what you should know if you are considering getting help from one of our lawyers.
A spinal epidural abscess occurs primarily when an underlying infection causes a build-up of pus in the spinal epidural area, impacting the base of the spinal cord. This is usually a bacterial infection commonly caused by staphylococcus aureus. Escherichia coli and other infections may also cause an abscess. However, it is not always clear what caused the spinal epidural abscess.
The sooner a spinal epidural abscess is diagnosed and treated, the better the prognosis. If the abscess goes undiagnosed for too long, surgical decompression may become necessary. In some cases, the lack of a proper diagnosis may lead to permanent neurological damages or even death.
Some patients may not know they are suffering from a spinal epidural abscess. Additionally, it is not uncommon for patients to mistake this abscess for another condition. Doctors may also make this mistake and fail to test for a spinal epidural abscess despite risk factors and symptoms being present.
Some common risk factors that may lead to a spinal epidural abscess include:
Some symptoms to look for in this circumstance include:
There may be other accompanying symptoms such as nausea, headache, stiffness in the lower back, bowel and bladder issues, and confusion. The symptoms will typically continue to progress the longer that a spinal epidural abscess is present in a patient.
Spinal epidural abscess instances are not common. However, because the results of delayed diagnosis can be so devastating, it is essential to raise any areas of concern with your doctor.
Usually, a patient goes through four stages of symptoms. It begins with local back pain and a possible fever. Then, there may be nerve pain that radiates throughout the body. Next, there is typically a feeling of weakness and bladder or bowel issues. The final stage is often severe and can include complete paralysis.
If diagnosed in a timely manner, a spinal epidural abscess may be treatable. If not timely diagnosed, it can result in serious harm to the patient.
Regardless of what caused a spinal epidural abscess, it is essential to timely diagnose and treat it. To test for a spinal epidural abscess, doctors typically order an MRI, blood cultures, and other blood tests. If the abscess is diagnosed in time, it is treatable through surgery and antibiotics. In some instances, antibiotics alone may be enough.
To prove medical malpractice in an epidural abscess case, you need to prove that the doctor who failed to timely diagnose and treat the spinal epidural abscess was negligent and that this negligence caused you substantial injury.
Often, the failure to timely diagnose the abscess is due to the negligence of the treating medical practitioner in not performing a test for the underlying infection or presence of an abscess. This oversight may occur even if the patient comes in for treatment and complains about the symptoms that are typically present in cases of a spinal epidural abscess.
If the failure to timely diagnose a spinal epidural abscess was due to negligence on the part of healthcare provider and resulted in severe harm to the patient, there may be a claim for medical malpractice.
The experienced medical malpractice lawyers at Raynes & Lawn can evaluate your medical records with well-credentialed experts in the field to determine whether you have been the victim of medical malpractice.
As with other types of medical malpractice lawsuits, a patient or their family members can be awarded compensatory damages in the form of a monetary award to attempt to make the patient whole after the negligent actions of a doctor or another medical worker.
These damages may include compensation for economic and non-economic losses, such as:
To know what types of compensation you may be able to recover in a spinal epidural abscess claim, you need to know the applicable laws and how to prove the claim. It will depend upon the actions taken by the patient, what tests the doctors ordered, and the applicable local and state laws.
If you have concerns about whether you suffered harm or if you lost someone due to a delay in diagnosing and treating a spinal epidural abscess, you should consult with an experienced Philadelphia personal injury lawyer who is able to advocate for you.
Without proof of all required elements for a spinal epidural abscess claim, the medical malpractice lawsuit will not succeed. If you are unfamiliar with this area of law but have suffered harm due to a spinal epidural abscess that was a result of malpractice, then you should consult an experienced lawyer to work for you on this claim.
The attorneys at Raynes & Lawn are experienced medical malpractice lawyers who consult with well-credentialed medical experts when evaluating whether there is a valid claim; if so then the litigation team moves forward to file the claim in court and expertly navigate the litigation process.
If you or someone you love suffered an injury due to a doctor failing to timely diagnose a spinal epidural abscess that could have otherwise been treated, you may be entitled to compensation for the damages you sustained. Remember that the timely filing of a claim in any legal matter is crucial. The sooner you fill out our contact form, the sooner an attorney can contact you to learn more about the specifics of your case and let you know how you should proceed.

This book is in like-new conditions and has been signed by the authors Sally Brown and David R. Brown. This is a 2nd Printing from 2001.
This is a biography of Marty Mann. She was born into a life of wealth and privilege, sank to the lowest depths of poverty and despair because of her addiction to alcohol, then rose to transform herself and inspire thousands of others, especially women, to seek help for themselves. Considered one of the most effective public health care reformers of the twentieth century, Marty Mann showed that alcoholism is a disease, not a moral failing, and that it is a major public health problem.

Top Republicans in Congress are embarking on a new campaign of revisionism seven months after the attack on the Capitol, absolving Donald Trump of responsibility and blaming the House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, for the 6 January insurrection perpetrated by a mob of Trump supporters.
Some House and Senate Republican leaders stated in the charged moments immediately following the attack that Trump was squarely to blame, and amid blood and shattered glass at the US Capitol, some even considered his removal.
“The president bears responsibility,” the House Republican leader, Kevin McCarthy, said of Trump at the time, demanding that he “accept his share of responsibility”.
But after nearly 200 House Republicans voted to clear Trump in his unprecedented second impeachment and Senate Republicans scuttled a 9/11-style commission to investigate the events of 6 January, the Republican party made a call to shift all blame away from Trump.
The move to protect Trump from the fallout of the Capitol attack, at any cost, reflects the party leaders loyalty to a defeated former president, as well as the political self-interest of Republicans desperate to distance themselves from an insurrection they helped stoke with lies of a stolen election.
The Republicans’ journey into a universe of alternate facts became virtually complete last week after House Republican leadership, days after the harrowing testimony of police officers deployed to tackle the rioters shocked Congress once more, spun a new lie about the deadly attack.
No longer satisfied to simply pardon Trump for inciting his supporters to unlawfully stop the certification of Joe Biden’s election win, the No 3 House Republican, Elise Stefanik, blamed Pelosi – a target of the mob – for the violence on 6 January.
“The American people deserve to know the truth: that Nancy Pelosi bears responsibility, as speaker of the House, for the tragedy that occurred on January 6,” Stefanik said falsely from the steps of the Capitol.
Pelosi is not responsible for security – a duty that lies with US Capitol police – but the baseless claim promulgated by Stefanik amounted to the party leadership’s latest disinformation campaign they hope will give them political cover as the 2022 midterm elections near.
There remains a deep fear among Republicans that any scrutiny into 6 January could expose their role in amplifying Trump’s lies about fraud in the 2020 election – the root cause of the insurrection – which could be used as a cudgel by Democrats at the ballot box.
Some congressional Republicans privately acknowledge the fallacious logic of blaming Pelosi for the Capitol attack, but not the Republican minority leader, Mitch McConnell, her then opposite number in the Senate.
But in a sign of the ambition and self-preservation guiding Republican revisionism over the Capitol attack, they also suggest that they are willing for McCarthy to indulge Trump’s claims should it help Republicans capture the House. And with Bennie Thompson, the chairman of the House select committee investigating the Capitol attack, vowing to subpoena anyone who spoke with Trump on 6 January, they note a counter-narrative takes on the added effect of undercutting the politically bruising inquiry.
The revisionism over the Capitol attack heralds what some experts see as a dangerous new era in American politics: even with Trump out of the White House, Republicans advancing demonstrably false narratives to safeguard their political survival.
“The GOP is thinking enough time has passed to somehow rewrite the history of events,” said Fiona Hill, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and a former top White House Russia expert who testified at Trump’s first impeachment inquiry.
“They’re hoping that it gets into the record, even if it’s pointed out that it doesn’t correlate with the facts, because once their version is out there in the media, then that’s sufficient for it to become the raw material for shaping how history recounts things later on,” Hill said.
In the days after the attack, McCarthy, joined Democrats in condemning Trump and urging Congress to establish a fact-finding commission, having already called the former president and demanded he call off his rioters.
McCarthy at one stage even fact-checked the former president. “Some say the riots were caused by Antifa. There is absolutely no evidence of that,” he said on the House floor. “Conservatives should be the first to say so.”
But that initial resolve was quickly replaced with a renewed fealty to Trump, who demanded that Pelosi “investigate herself”, as he again falsely suggested that it was Antifa, rather than his own supporters, who perpetrated the Capitol attack.
Republicans have seized on that messaging, but none more so than McCarthy, who has repeated Trump’s debunked claims and taken trips to Mar-a-Lago to ingratiate himself with Trump, whose support he considers essential for his ambitions to become Speaker in 2022.
Such endeavors to placate Trump took on heightened significance last week for McCarthy, after he pulled all five of his picks for the House select committee in a moment of frustration and inadvertently left Trump without defenders on the panel.
And as two US Capitol police and two DC Metropolitan police officers for hours testified to the select committee how Trump, described as a “hit man”, sent his supporters to attack the Capitol, an alarmed McCarthy moved to shift the pressure from Trump to Pelosi.
“If there is a responsibility for this Capitol, on this side, it rests with the Speaker,” McCarthy said.
Stefanik, who replaced Liz Cheney as Republican conference chair after her ouster in May for taking aim at Trump’s conduct and rhetoric once too often, went further, and proclaimed that the House speaker was in fact to blame for the insurrection.
The political calculus of the House Republican leadership extended for the first time last week to McConnell – once fiercely critical of Trump for his role in inciting the insurrection, but now content to avoid the topic he considers a political loser.
Hill told the Guardian that Republican revisionism mirrors the playbook adopted by the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, and an array of other autocratic leaders needing to sanitize their roles in politically embarrassing events.
“You can see this over and over again in pretty much every authoritarian setting,” Hill said. “It’s fundamentally not about politics. It’s nothing more than a massive con job, a scam, concocted to keep their own personal and collective power. There’s no end other than that.
It is a disinformation effort also co-opted by rank and file Republicans, who have increasingly tried to rewrite the reality of what transpired on 6 January, from claiming no rioter was armed (at least one was), to comparing the attack to a “normal tourist visit”.
Standing outside the justice department last week, a group of Trump’s most vociferous defenders on Capitol Hill denounced the indictments brought against nearly 600 Capitol rioters and accused prosecutors of holding them as political prisoners.
Urged on by Trump, the lawmakers falsely characterized Ashli Babbitt, an insurrectionist who was shot and killed as she tried to breach a secure area of the Capitol adjacent to the House chamber, as a patriotic martyr whose death was planned by Democrats.
The fiction pushed by Stefanik drew a rebuke from at least one Republican. “All Donald Trump needs to see is that you’re making a defense, no matter how nonsensical that defense is,” Congressman Adam Kinzinger said on ABC, but not before members of his own party called for his expulsion. | <urn:uuid:a9e56f90-e9a8-40ad-bdbc-e2dd7b5e7edf> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://redingtonlongpier.com/top-republicans-move-to-protect-trump-from-capitol-attack-fallout-us-capitol-attack.html | 2023-09-22T11:02:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.965864 | 1,556 |

Assembly Votes to Move Forward with Dock Electrification
Wednesday night, Juneau’s city assembly voted to direct $300,000 of marine passenger fee money, instead of a proposed $250,000, to go toward “Large Berth Shore Power Preliminary Design & Cost Estimate” rather than a feasibility study.
Renewable Juneau will have additional analysis of this positive development soon. But now, we need to send a huge thank you to the more than 900 locals who signed our petition calling for exactly what this money targets, final design and cost estimate. This progress would not have been possible without these people showing their support for clean air and a healthy waterfront. Also vital was the firm push from many or our elected city leaders, who listened to the public and voted accordingly. A huge thank you to Michelle Hale, Carol Triem, Wade Bryson, Alicia Hughes-Skandijs, Mary Becker and Loren Jones.
Hale and Triem led the charge to strengthen the CBJ’s commitment to plugging in more cruise ships. Bryson and Hughes-Skandijs followed with strong statements of support and by the end of the discussion, every vote was cast in support for dock electrification.
The most important part of the funding decision is that the Assembly has made it clear that they’ve moved beyond the question of whether the CBJ should pursue dock electrification, AND on to determining the best way to make it happen.
We’re after 1000 signatures on the petition!

Deep-Learning-based Prediction of Geological CO2 Sequestration in Highly Heterogeneous Naturally Fractured Reservoirs

AbstractNaturally fractured reservoirs (NFRs), such as fractured carbonate reservoirs, are ubiquitous across the worldwide and are potentially very good source to store carbondioxide (CO2) for a longer period of time. The simulation models are great tool to assess the potential and understanding the physics behind CO2-brine interaction in subsurface reservoirs. Simulating the behavior of fluid flow in NFR reservoirs during CO2 are computationally expensive because of the multiple reasons such as highly-fractured and heterogeneous nature of the rock, fast propagation of CO2 plume in the fracture network, and high capillary contrast between matrix and fractures. This paper presents a data-driven deep learning surrogate modeling approach that can accurately and efficiently capture the temporal-spatial dynamics of CO2 saturation plumes during injection and post-injection monitoring periods of Geological Carbon Sequestration (GCS) operations in NFRs. We have built a physics-based numerical simulation model to simulate the process of CO2 injection in a naturally fractured deep saline aquifers. A standalone package was developed to couple the discrete fracture network in a fully compositional numerical simulation model. Then reservoir model was sampled using the Latin-Hypercube approach to account for a wide range of petrophysical, geological, reservoir, and operational parameters. The simulation model parameters were obtained from extensive geological surveys published in literature. These samples generated a massive physics-informed database (about 900 simulations) that provides sufficient training dataset for the Deep Learning surrogate models. Average Absolute Percentage Error (AAPE) and coefficient of determination (R2) were used as error metrics to evaluate the performance of the surrogate models. The developed workflow showed superior performance by giving AAPE less than 5% and R2 more than 0.95 between ground truth and predictions of the state variables. The proposed Deep Learning framework provides an innovative approach to track CO2 plume in a fractured carbonate reservoir and can be used as a quick assessment tool to evaluate the long term feasibility of CO2 movement in fractured carbonate medium.

Hyperspectral cameras are used to preserve fine spectral details of scenes that are not captured by traditional RGB cameras that comprehensively quantizes radiance in RGB images. Spectral details provide additional information that improves the performance of numerous image based analytic applications, but due to high hyperspectral hardware cost and associated physical constraints, hyperspectral images are not easily available for further processing. Motivated by the performance of deep learning for various computer vision applications, we propose a 2D convolution neural network and a 3D convolution neural network based approaches for hyperspectral image reconstruction from RGB images. A 2D-CNN model primarily focuses on extracting spectral data by considering only spatial correlation of the channels in the image, while in 3D-CNN model the inter-channel co-relation is also exploited to refine the extraction of spectral data. Our 3D-CNN based architecture achieves very good performance in terms of MRAE and RMSE. In contrast to 3D-CNN, our 2D-CNN based architecture also achieves comparable performance with very less computational complexity. © 2018 IEEE. | <urn:uuid:48a40222-05e7-43b2-9a8f-55e3b163298a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://research.iitj.ac.in/publication/2d-3d-cnn-based-architectures-for-spectral-reconstruction-from | 2023-09-22T11:38:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.930484 | 218 |
Recognizing faces with altered appearances is a challenging task and is only now beginning to be addressed by researchers. The paper presents an evolutionary granular approach for matching face images that have been altered by plastic surgery procedures. The algorithm extracts discriminating information from non-disjoint face granules obtained at different levels of granularity. At the first level of granularity, both pre and post-surgery face images are processed by Gaussian and Laplacian operators to obtain face granules at varying resolutions. The second level of granularity divides face image into horizontal and vertical face granules of varying size and information content. At the third level of granularity, face image is tessellated into non-overlapping local facial regions. An evolutionary approach is proposed using genetic algorithm to simultaneously optimize the selection of feature extractor for each face granule along with finding optimal weights corresponding to each face granule for matching. Experiments on pre and post-plastic surgery face images show that the proposed algorithm provides at least 15% better identification performance as compared to other face recognition algorithms. © 2011 IEEE. | <urn:uuid:9cfcd488-f3d7-48fd-84fb-3ce0d70e7679> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://research.iitj.ac.in/publication/evolutionary-granular-approach-for-recognizing-faces-altered | 2023-09-22T11:04:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.917129 | 223 |
NXT3 BaMo is a project that develops a new Base Module of a NXT wafer stage. With the new requirements of higher throughput, cost effective, and higher load support, crash forces acting on the system are expected to be higher. To ensure the system is still functional within the machine lifetime, the design of each module in the overall system must take into account the maximum crash forces which can act on the system. In this project, we investigate the crash behaviors of two sub-modules of the Base Module: the Linear Axis and the Balance Mass. For each sub-module, the crash computations are done by a multibody dynamic model programmed in MatLab/SimMechanics software. Furthermore based on simulation results, crash experiments are carried out to validate the design concept of the air-bearing of the Linear Axis and the end stops of the Balance Mass. The results show that the maximum crash forces acting on the airbearing of the Linear Axis are high and further investigations such as doing air-bearing crash experiments are required. For the Balance Mass, the maximum crash forces and displacements are within specifications. However it is still possible to optimize them.

The majority of Vietnamese internet dating sites provide free signing up and allow you to create a account. Once this can be completed, searching the background of various other members in the site and contact them if you find that they are a good meet. The great thing about these sites is that all the communications between you and the various other member happen to be completely automatic. You will never have to speak to anyone (unless you want to), and the system will weed out the ineffective contacts and add those that have recently been active on this website for a while. This means that you are only getting to talk to the individuals who are really worth a reply.
The first thing that you might want to consider when applying at among the many good Vietnam dating web page is the length of time they have been functioning. Many sites own only just lately started and are still growing in popularity. It is important that you choose a dating site that has a lengthy history in procedure and is protected.

Be sure that your selected Vietnamese online dating site includes a good selection of native audio speakers.

If people ask me which was the best live band I ever saw, I can say at the drop of a hat that The Playn Jayn were definitely one of them. Sadly, the most common response to my answer is "who?" On one hand, it's disappointing that this most special of bands never really "made it" and certainly never received the acclaim they truly deserved. However, on the other hand I can allow myself a wry smile and bask in the knowledge that I was lucky enough to witness The Playn Jayn in their glorious prime. I remember clearly being blown away by the unusual spectacle of two live-wire lead singers and frontmen which added an air of unpredictability to their gigs. The chemistry between Craig Lindsey and Mike Jones and their vocal harmonies were a joy to behold. Behind them, the band featuring Nick Jones on guitars, Erol Suleyman on bass and Clive Francis on the drums were tight, powerful and stripped back, allowing the immense melodies and ringing riffs to shine. They were rooted in the Psychedelic 60's but had that Garage Punk intensity that meant they appealed to a wide cross section of music fans of all the varied underground genres at the time. At the much-missed Hammersmith Clarendon they shared the stage with many diverse bands from The Prisoners and The Adicts to Sunglasses After Dark, The Long Ryders and Twenty Flight Rockers and went down equally well with all of their respective audiences. I can clearly remember one night at the Lyceum where they played with Lords of The New Church and Wall of Voodoo and that still remains one of my favourite all-time gigs to this day.
But I suppose The Playn Jayn will forever be associated with the Marquee, mainly due to their classic 1984 debut album "Friday The 13th at The Marquee Club" which was released by the major label A&M, who took the unusual step of releasing a live album for the band's debut. Unusual yes, but actually this was a smart move as the brilliant production by Vic Maille captured all the band's live energy perfectly - very rare with official live releases. It also meant that the album sounds immense today, fresh and exciting, bursting from the speakers and completely free of all the terrible studio gimmicks and over production of the early to mid-80's that ruined so many great records of the time. This was unfortunately to come next, as the follow up studio album "Five Good Evils" disappointed me after the raw excellence of "Friday The 13th" and I felt that the songs were half-buried under a weak production. A&M obviously didn't have a clue what to do with the band and the album was put out on their "Indie" subsidiary ABC records.
They released a couple of singles including the excellent "Juliette" but the band sadly called it a day not long after. The Jones brothers continuing as The Jayn and Erol joined The Jazz Butcher. Mike then sang with The Other Side but by the early 90's all of the members had pretty much disappeared from the music scene. They never resurfaced, there was certainly no reunion and then the terribly sad news filtered through a few years ago that Craig had passed away. For a band that blazed such a short lived trail they certainly made a significant impact on those of us lucky enough to have seen them play live - or even those who had just heard the records. The memory of the band has been kept going by the enthusiasm of fans such as Desmond Behan and Julian Leusby and those at the Playn Jayn fan's group on Facebook, which can be found here.
But the good news is that long-standing devotion has now been rewarded as Peter Wild at Circle Records has pulled off a remarkable coup by releasing this gem of a 'new' single that will not only be welcomed with open arms by existing fans but will also prove to new listeners just what a special band The Playn Jayn were. The 7" vinyl single will be released on 16th September as a limited edition of 375 individually hand-numbered copies and contains two previously unreleased songs by the group, the last recordings they ever made. There's usually a reason why songs remain unreleased and that is they are generally not good enough, so it's very rare that these two tracks from 37 years ago could well be among the finest the band have recorded and I was blown away by the quality of the songs and the sound of the single. So, a bit of background to the single from Circle Records - The Playn Jayn went into RMS studios in London with producer Andy Le Vien in April 1985 and recorded two songs for a possible single to hopefully drum up interest following their departure from A&M. They chose the regular show-opener "Cardinal Charlotte's Memorial School" and the slightly newer "It's Not Me". Unreleased after 37 years, rescued by Desmond Behan and mixed by Satch Norton who did live engineering and studio work for the band including the "Friday The 13th" album and the rare white label 7" single "Chamber Door". There's more good news, Circle Records are also looking into the possibility of compiling a selection of rare demos and live recordings for future release, it's not sure yet on which format this will be so I'd recommend subscribing to Circle Records on their social media for updates. Of course, we'll also keep you informed as soon as we have news. To enquire about the new single, please message Circle Records for more information on how to order or check for updates at their eBay page. Otherwise why not drop by and say hello at the Playn Jayn Facebook group here. | <urn:uuid:4446b881-9a24-4605-8bb7-63d63f39c8f9> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://retroman65.blogspot.com/2022/08/the-playn-jayn-new-single-from-much.html | 2023-09-22T11:28:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.980301 | 1,165 |
There was a time locally when only one brand of potato chips mattered – Hostess Potato Chips.
Owned by powerhouse General Foods, Hostess Potato Chips monopolized the snack food industry between 1959 and the early 1990s with strong flavours, and stronger favor. If you were a kid during that era, you may remember Hostess being revered as the almighty God of chips.
According to the current owner Frito Lay’s website: “Hostess Chips had its beginning in 1935, when a young Beaverdale farmer began cooking potato chips on his mother’s kitchen stove. Little did he realize that the finest potato chip manufacturing operation in Canada was to grow from this humble beginning. The youth’s name was Edward Snyder; the company he founded became known as “Hostess.”
Through a deft blend of simple colour coded branding, quality control, and an aggressive distribution strategy, Hostess were kings of all things chip related: Blue was Regular, green was Sour Cream & Onion, yellow was Salt & Vinegar, and deep red was BBQ. Eventually Ketchup, BBQ Chicken, and Sour Cream & Bacon joined the hallowed ranks. A bag cost roughly 25 cents, and came in a no frills tin-foil packet. Salt was bountiful, and the burning vinegar taste packed an unforgettably savoury wallop. It was truly finger lickin’ good.
Their greatest boon however came as a response to their greatest blunder. In the late 1970s, in a marketing manoeuvre on par with Coke’s inexplicable decision to change their billion dollar taste, Hostess released three new, fruity flavours of potato chip – Cherry, Orange and Grape. The retching, heaving sound of disapproval can still be heard (and felt) to this day – with many people taking to the internet claiming that even after almost 40 years they still cannot get the awful taste out of their mouth.
Born out of this howling dud in 1981 were the Munchies, 3 goblin type creatures created to cheerlead the brand and its booming new tagline – “When you got the munchies, nothing else will do”.
Throughout the 1980s the loveable trio of Munchies were woven into that uniquely warped tapestry of immortal Canadiana advertising mascots, rivalled only in ubiquity by Captain Highliner. They appeared not only on TV, but in local parades, at the CNE, at shopping malls, and even in commercials for convenience stores like Beckers. Plush replicas of them slept in many childhood beds as they traversed the landscape of 1980s pop culture – video games, heavy metal, Michael Jackson and breakdancing.
Also memorable were the collectable stickers you could find inside bags of Hostess chips. Baseball, wrestling, and rock band themes were the most popular, but the endless cycle included TV show and movie tie-ins as well. Occasionally in thrift stores you can come across ancient household appliances adorned with half scratched off Hostess wrestling stickers.
As the 1990s dawned, Hostess Chips fell victim to what Wikipedia terms “brand erosion with the introduction of various “upscale” brands such as Kettle Chips and Miss Vickie’s”. By 1996, they were gone, replaced by the dull packaging and even duller taste of Lays.
You can still find Hostess at Food Basics and Price Chopper, or online at Canadian Favourites, however they are HINO (Hostess in name only): Lays chips bagged in Hostess branded packages so that Frito Lay can maintain its trademark protection on the Hostess brand, which has long been dropped by the corporation.
The real deal is gone, and sadly when you got the Munchies, nothing else will do.

But speaking about sex doesn’t should be a giant, serious event; in reality, there’s no excellent approach to convey it up or actual right thing to say!

The info needs to be balanced, the optimistic and the unfavorable, if we expect to have affect and credibility with our teenagers. If a teen has a question about sex, a relationship, or one thing their peers may be doing, they are going to be more more likely to come to a father or mother who has shown themselves able to talking about sex in a balanced, positive means.

How to Pay Your Sales Tax for a Small Business
Learn how to pay your sales tax correctly for a small business in 2021. After 13 years in business, I've figured out you don't need an accountant for this: it's easy to do it yourself online by using affordable tax software that calculates all your online sales tax for Etsy, Shopify, and other online platforms in one place.
Today we're going to talk about paying sales tax. When I tell people that I'm a small business owner one of the first things they ask me is how do pay your taxes? This can be intimidating to a lot of people, in fact I was so intimidated by it that I paid an accountant to do it for me for years. It was great, but also very expensive! Nowadays they have tax software that makes paying your retail sales taxes so much easier. It's called Taxjar, and I'm going to show you how to use it. Taxjar imports your sales from you retail sales platforms, and breaks down the amount of tax you owe by zip code. It gives you the correct tax code for each area you need to pay for in your state, so all you have to do is enter that information into your state's Dept. of Revenue website to file and pay your taxes online quick and easy.
I'm going to show how I pay my 2020 quarterly retail sales tax. This is just my personal process for paying taxes and not considered legal tax advice. Once you start taking your business seriously, and have made enough sales to get a 1099 at the end of the year, I recommend consulting a CPA or tax expert. Especially to help you with your federal taxes. For my 2019 year end federal taxes, I went to H&R Block and met with a small business specialist. It costs around four hundred dollars for them to find all of my deductions and take care of filing for me. For a once per year expense, it was definitely worth the price.
Now back to state sales tax. I pay tax on all the transactions I have at craft shows and festivals as well as my online sales in the state that I have Nexus. Taxjar will help you figure out which state you have Nexus in. It's usually the state where you are located for me that's Washington or any other state that you have over 100,000 in sales or 200 transactions per year. So clicking on Washington they give me all the information that I need to know, this tells it tells me my Nexus requirements how to pay and more info. You can go to this resource anytime you need to, here on my taxjar dashboard they give me my estimated sales tax collected. I used to pay my accountant to file my sales tax for me which cost me around two hundred dollars a quarter and I still had to enter all the info into QuickBooks myself which took a long time.
Now that I use Taxjar, it only costs me twenty dollars a month and I don't have to enter anything. In fact, they show all of my transactions right here, you can see that everything from my Shopify sales and my selling on Etsy are recorded here. Since Etsy collects and pays my sales tax for me that's why it says Marketplace here under exemption that means that they are not calculating taxes for my Etsy sales. But they are calculating them for all of my Shopify, sales it's likely when you first start out that you'll only have to pay tax yearly.
Since I used to have a retail store that made around five hundred thousand per year I am on quarterly filing and that means that I need to pay my taxes four times a year. Usually for quarterly, it's the first three months and then it's due on the following month for example, this would be for January through March and then due at the end of April. However, due to covid, the first quarter deadline for Washington State has been extended to June 30th. Taxjar says July 31st here since that's when quarter two is due it thinks the quarter one deadline has passed; It's usually the end of April. To get more info about my tax I click on sales tax report. My gross sales is here marketplace sales from Etsy is right here and the reason why deductions and exemptions is here is because this is my wholesale sales that was collected in Shopify, that will tell you that right here.
Since some of my wholesale sales are collected through my website on Shopify, but I also have wholesale sales that I invoice stores for, I cannot have taxjar file automatically for me. However, if you only have sales through your website or Etsy or anything online and no additional outside sales you can have taxjar file your taxes for you, and that's really easy.
However, if you have sales outside of your Shopify or Etsy store, you can add them to your taxjar totals very easily. I do my wholesale invoicing, and keep track of my direct wholesale sales using an app called WAVE, it's just like QuickBooks except it's free. I highly recommend you check it out. I enter the amounts from WAVE for each of my wholesale sales into an Excel spreadsheet and total them up. Then, I add the totals from taxjar, and add them together. Next, I put the totals into the Washington State Department of Revenue website. This part, I recommend watching the video above.
On your state's Department of Revenue website, you need to put your total amount of retail sales, and then your total amount of wholesale sales to calculate your B&O or Business and Operations tax. Based on your totals, it will tell you how much tax you owe. After that, you move on to enter your deductions and retail tax owed. Be sure to add a deduction for Etsy sales, since Etsy collects sales tax for you. Enter the deduction as retail sales collected by the facilitator. Etsy, Amazon eBay, anyone that collects and pays their sales tax for you is known as a facilitator. You just put in the amount that they paid for your state and click OK. These amounts match taxjar exactly. You also want to enter a deduction for how much of your total retail sales was out of state.
Now we are at the summary, review all your totals and make sure they are correct. My total wholesale amount is: wholesale sales from Shopify combined with the wholesale sales that I put in WAVE. This is my total amount of retail sales. This is where the Etsy deduction is added, as well as the out of state sales deduction, so this is the total amount that I am paying tax on. They give you all the totals. This is the total amount of tax that I will have to pay for Quarter 1. That's really all there is to it. You can choose to have the payment taken from your bank account or put it on a credit card.
I hope you enjoyed this online selling tips on how I to pay retail sales tax for online business. If you have any questions that I didn't address in the video please put them in the comments below I always read the comments and I'd love to help you out. | <urn:uuid:78aa27ed-6077-42ac-9236-e084d9e3e635> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://revivalink.com/blogs/news/how-to-pay-your-sales-tax-for-a-small-business | 2023-09-22T12:51:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.980646 | 1,450 |

November 1953 Radio-Electronics
[Table of Contents]
Wax nostalgic about and learn from the history of early electronics.
See articles from Radio-Electronics,
published 1930-1988. All copyrights hereby acknowledged.
I'm always tempted to wax
nostalgic over ads like this one since they remind me of more care-free childhood
and early teenage years when our household had the typical single television set
with an antenna on the roof and a 300 Ω twin lead cable running
haphazardly down the roof surface and over the metal gutter, stretching under
the eave to where it was crushed between the window sill and lower window pane,
and snaked along the wall and floor to the TV. In the early days, our antenna
was fixed (no rotator). Situated in
Mayo, Maryland, about midway between Baltimore and Washington, D.C., where
our nearest broadcast stations resided, we somehow managed to get acceptable
reception on our low-end black & white television. I don't recall in which
direction the antenna was pointed (maybe northwestish to cover both directions
equally). It wasn't until sometime in the early 1970s that we finally got our
first color TV that the system showed its weakness. The color TV signal is much
more complicated and is more sensitive to low signal-to-noise ratio due to its
more critical timing for voltage levels and phases. By about 1975, I had had
enough and volunteered to put up a better antenna with a
rotator and high(er) quality twin lead designed for color TV signals. It
made a huge difference, and we were even able to pick up UHF signals that were
never tunable before.

They grow 'em bigger in Texas
The move into the house was truly amazing. How can 650 things -- pieces of furniture, boxes, shelves, ladders, brooms -- possibly have fit into this new house, however large it is? There is stuff everywhere. The tougher question is, How could that many *things* have come *out* of the house in New Hampshire, which is so much smaller? The assembling and unpacking and putting away will occupy Ms T for the rest of the week. I get to go off to work at a 60-hour-a-week job, and she thinks I'm the lucky one.
There will soon be a Tale of Texas about the house. For the moment, the fifty-cent tour: large 4-bedroom, big rooms, Texas-style with very high ceilings and fans in almost every room. Brick over frame. Currently over-filled with stuff, some loose stuff, some boxes full of stuff, but we're hoping that when everything is unpacked and put away, we will be tastefully under-furnished.
New neighborhoods around here tend to be built with almost all the houses on cul-de-sacs off a main street, so there is no continual traffic past the houses. We're at the end of the cul-de-sac on a wedge-shaped piece of land, twice as much lot as the neighbors, just by accident. So it's too large, has too much land, has much too much grass that has to be maintained, and is barely affordable. But it eventually will be a home.
Three weeks later:
The unpacking has occupied Ms T for nearly a month, forget the week. Most of the general stuff is unpacked, but not necessarily in the right place. The kitchen is functional. The bedrooms and bathrooms are mainly functional. Our offices are mainly functional, though many files and books are not yet in evidence. None of the art is on the wall. (Well, almost none. There was a small picture in the kitchen in a plastic frame. Fell off the wall the other morning at 1:30 AM. Plastic frame flat onto the tile floor. What a noise. Everyone came awake instantly, and, due to the level of blood in the adrenaline stream, could not get back to sleep for an hour.) The windows all have shades. (The previous owners left all the "window treatments" and we had to add only a couple.)
The garage, made for two medium-size cars, is not quite solid boxes, but neither can we put even one car into it. That will be a while yet. Most of the boxes remaining in the garage have been nominated for relocation to a long-term storage locker. (I was joking about the garage with several people from work. One of them said that he still wasn't able to park in his garage yet, and he has been here a year. The other said that his garage was clean three days after they moved in. One of them will probably become a friend; guess which.)
Because of the crazy hours I have been working, I have been unable to hold up my end of the moving-in process. Ms T has taken over many of the duties. She dug out the hammers, screwdrivers, drills, and wrenches, and put up shelves, constructed workbenches, amazing what one can do when one has to.
Downstairs a small bedroom and bath for guests; dining room, living room, family room, kitchen, utility room. Patio out the back, garage to the side. Too-big back yard that someone is dying to landscape. We will have to replace some of the grass with trees, cactus, or some other garden that requires less maintenance.
Upstairs another big family room (her office), two small bedrooms (my office and the gym), a small bathroom, and the master bedroom suite.
A few closets, not nearly enough, of course. No attic save one storage room, and no basement, so there are still a lot of boxes around to trip over. Most of them will have to go to storage, and it will require a lot of sorting and/or a lot of trips to the locker.
THEY GROW 'EM BIGGER IN TEXAS
Humans disappear and the plants take over, right? A few years after we moved in, those scrawny little trees that the developer planted have decided that they like it here. By 2007, you can barely see the front of the house.
By the time we left Texas in 2011, the house was almost not visible at all any more. The trees could probably use some pruning, but still, from ground level, there are now three trees there and almost no house. Not only can you not see the forest through the trees, you can't see the human-built structures, either.
By 2014, there is almost no hint of a house behind the trees. The rooms on that side of the house (the east side) must be very dark in the mornings. I would suggest that the current residents call a tree service to prune a little.

The map towards the bottom of this page shows the simplified routes. For the first time, the race started in mainland Europe instead of the UK, so the complication of choosing and timing a ferry crossing to France were avoided. The starting venue was the Muur van Geraardsbergen in Belgium, which had been a checkpoint in the first edition of the race. The race started with a short loop around the town before climbing the cobbled classic. Here is the footage from my on-bike camera:
Instead of the morning start used for the London departures, the race started at midnight on 25th July, 2015. People therefore had to choose whether to rest the first night or push straight through, most chose the latter option. There was some rain in the early morning and strong, gusty side-winds. The second night was much clearer and cooler than the first, with temperatures approaching 5 degrees C for those who were still in northern France.
The first checkpoint was much farther from the start than it had been in previous years, with riders needing to cover about 950 km to get to Mont Ventoux. The field spread out across northern and eastern France, then became more tightly packed as they entered the Rhone valley. The leaders all made it to the top of the historic climb up the Giant of Provence from Bedoin by the end of the second day.
To get to the second checkpoint in Sestriere, Italy, the only plausible route was up the Durance valley. When the main road became restricted access with no bicycles allowed, many people remained on it instead of using one of the two alternative back-roads and subsequently received a time penalty. This was the first year that the roads which people used was monitored closely throughout the race by official dot watching volunteers and many penalties were given out when illegal roads were used.
The checkpoint in Sestriere was at the start of the section that had caused people the most anguish when choosing their equipment. The Strada dell’Assietta is an old military road along the top of a mountain ridge, and when combined with the gravel descent of the Colle delle Finestre, it meant doing about 40 km of dirt and gravel roads that were mostly above 2000 meters elevation. Everyone knew that it would be unpaved, but many people were not prepared for just how rough it would be on a road bike. Even the fastest people took 3 hours to traverse the short distance, but many others took a lot longer due to punctures and having to walk up and down some of the steeper sections.
After leaving the Alps via Torino, there was 600 km of riding to do across the uninteresting northern Italian plains to get to Slovenia. The front runners again had the best of the weather, while everyone in the mid-pack battled strong, demoralizing headwinds for a couple of days.
The next checkpoint was in Vukovar in eastern Croatia on the Danube river. The town was under siege by the Serbian forces after Yugoslavia was dissolved in the early 1990s, and evidence from the battles is still apparent on some buildings, particularly the town’s water tower.
A few cunning people decided to adopt an entirely different approach and reversed the order of checkpoints 3 and 4. They went down the Italian Adriatic coast to Ancona and took the same overnight ferry to Split that so many people had taken in the 2014 race. From Split, it wasn’t far to checkpoint 4, which, as in 2014, was Mount Lovćen in Montenegro. They then traversed Bosnia in the reverse direction to get to Vukovar. From Vukovar, they were on the same trajectory to Istanbul that most people had used in TCR No. 1 in 2013. In total, people using this route had slightly less distance to ride and had fewer headwinds, but they had to time their arrival for the ferry well to avoid losing time.
When traversing Croatia and Bosnia, many people followed the more major arteries that lead through Zagreb and Sarajevo, but there were equally good options that avoided the big cities. After Sarajevo, many people tried to take a direct route instead of staying on the main roads, but soon discovered that it was a rough dirt road and lost significant time. This included the leader of the race, Josh Ibbett, who turned around before the road got too bad and returned to the main road, by which time he had lost all but just a few kms of his lead, but the man that he had battled with for the lead for the previous few days, James Hayden, had to drop out soon after due to Shermer’s Neck.
The route options for the final section between Mount Lovćen and Istanbul were well known from the previous edition of the race. Again, the routes basically boiled down to Highway 8 in Bulgaria or Highway 2 in Greece due to the Rhodope mountains being in between. Many of the people who chose to go through Greece had to contend with a lot of headwind and intense heat in the middle of the day. The typical total distance ridden was much further than previous editions at over 4200 km.
I had to scratch near the Slovenian border, but flew out to Istanbul to see everyone finish, including my friend Alain Rumpf. I joined him for the final 20 km of the route through the Belgrad Forest and then the wild ride along the Bosphorous Strait, as shown in this video.
To view specific rider tracks, go to Trackleaders and click on the T button at the top of the map. Here is the simplified map:
The number of starting places available increased from 101 in 2014 to 250 in 2015. This consisted of 150 solo places and 100 places in the new pairs category (50 pairs). For the first time, people had to complete a questionnaire to register for the race that tested their awareness of what the race entailed and what unsupported means. Applications were open for about one week in November and about 350 were received, so the responses to the questionnaire plus a lottery process was used to award starting places during December, although all veterans who asked to return were automatically given a place. When people withdrew, some places were re-assigned to those on the waiting list during the Spring. 172 people made it to the start line.
During the application process, what being self-supported meant was highlighted strongly and much more emphasis was put on this in the manual and during the riders’ briefing. Volunteer dot watchers were used for the first time to closely monitor where people were riding, whether they were spending extended periods of time with other riders, and whether they were receiving external strategic support on social media.
The official results are here. The far longer route of this edition compounded by the headwinds meant that a lower proportion than ever before finished the race: just 89 of the 172 starters (52%). Only 36 finishers arrived in time for the party (21% of all starters).
Kristof Allegaert (BEL) had dominated the first two editions of the race, but he was busy riding the TransSiberia race in Russia, which he also won. So the TCR would have a new victor in 2015.
Despite competing for the first time, James Hayden (UK) was the clear leader for the first half of the race, but after being the first rider at CP1 and CP2, he developed Shermer’s Neck. He dropped to 2nd at CP3 behind Josh Ibbett (UK), who finished 2nd the previous year. As the condition got worse, James had to abandon the race after reaching CP4 in 3rd place.
Josh Ibbett went from 3rd at CP1 to 2nd at CP2 to 1st at the last two CPs and the finsih. He won in a time of just under 10 days, more than 31 hours ahead of 2nd place.
Bernd Paul (GER) had reached CP1 at the top of Mont Ventoux in 2nd behind James, but he was suffering from an allergic skin reaction to the sun and had to abandon soon after.
Ultan Coyle (IRE) was in 3rd place at CP2 behind James and Josh, but had chosen to ride a time trial bike for efficiency on the flatter sections of the route. His bike wasn’t the right tool for the gravel roads of the Strada dell’Assietta, so he lost a lot of time there and he was 6th by the time he reached CP3. He was able to come back to finish 4th, missing the tight battle for 2nd and 3rd place by about 3 hours.
Alexandre Bourgeonnier (FRA) made a gradual progression through the top 5, being 5th at CP1, 4th at CP2, 3rd at CP3, 2nd at CP4 and the finish. The podium was complete by Tomas Navratil (CZE), who had been just inside the top 10 throughout and 8th at CP3. From there, he recorded the 2nd fastest time from CP3 to CP4 and to the finish, with only Josh Ibbett being faster, which allowed him to finish 3rd.
As mentioned in the Route Summary section above, some people chose to take a ferry across the Adriatic and reverse the order of CP3 and CP4. The fastest of these 8 people was Gareth Baines (UK), who finished 8th overall, having been 16th at CP2 before taking the ferry route. In future editions, the CPs had to be visited in the official order.
Timothy France (UK) & Neil Phillips (UK) led the pairs category throughout the race and finished in just under 14 days. Only 18 solo riders finished before them.
Out of the 132 solo riders, only 3 were women. The first woman in the 2013 edition, Juliana Buhring (GER), was doing well heading for CP1, but developed knee issues and had to scratch before getting there. Sarah Searle (UK) also scratched before CP1. Emily Chappell (UK) was the only remaining solo female, but she scratched after CP2. Two females started in male-female pairs, but both of those pairs scratched.
Jayne Wadsworth (UK) had started the race in the pairs category with another female, Katie L’Herpiniere (GBR). Katie had to scratch in Albania (after CP4) and Jayne decided to continue on her own to Istanbul. She was therefore the only female to finish, arriving after 16 and a half days. She had been a late replacement for Katie’s original partner less than 2 weeks before the start of the race and had no idea what to expect and didn’t even meet Katie until arriving at the start.
About 65% of the finishers received a time penalty for rule violations (mostly for using prohibited roads). The majority of these were just 1 hour, but some people received up to 6 hours. The penalties did not affect any of the positions within the top 10 solos or pairs, but did alter many positions in the tighter mid-pack.

Each year we try to provide a few displays of motorcycles that fit a theme or tell a story. This year we have more than ever before, a half dozen displays totaling over thirty motorcycles.
Kicking off, we will have a dozen survivor motorcycles, principally from Anthony Napoli. These will include motorcycles many will recall as their first bike, lots of small Japanese 50-90cc rides. Let the reminiscing begin.
Jim, Sharon and Logan Dillard are back from Virginia for the third year with yet another assortment of rare and desirable Italian race bikes. We guarantee there are models here you’ve never heard of, let alone seen at a public event.
Frank Lipinski will again bring four Triumph Bonnevilles, each a limited edition built in honor of the Queen of England. Each of the eligible models have previously won Best in Class awards.
There will be a group of four Spanish Bultaco Metrallas, representing each variation the factory produced between 1962 and 1978. These motorcycle are being shown courtesy of the MotoEuro Garage Collection.
Finally, the popular Hagerty Youth Judging will return again this year. This group is not yet complete but will certainly include a couple of past class winners, including a Honda race replica and a rare Moto Martin based special. In addition, last year’s auction bike, a Kawsaki with great history will be shown along with as many as five or six others. | <urn:uuid:8aff0c14-db33-4435-8bd2-e3f3f7a31de2> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://ridingintohistory.org/display-riding-history/ | 2023-09-22T12:08:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.953987 | 292 |

Sehrish Khan returns to Ritter Center in a new role!
Sehrish Khan has a new role at Ritter Center. Formerly the Quality Improvement Manager, she has become the new Clinical Compliance Director.
“I grew up in Sacramento, and moved to the Bay Area to pursue a Bachelor’s in Political Science from San Jose State University. Soon after I received a Master’s in Public Health from Touro University with an emphasis in community health. I am thrilled to take on this new and exciting role as I have so many perspectives to bring within this capacity. The new role is a combination of overseeing clinical operations, compliance, and quality improvement,” said Sehrish Khan.
“There is so much going on in the health care community and larger world right now. What comes to mind for example is Monkeypox. We can be proactive with our patient population working in tandem with Marin County, the health protocols and guidelines, and the need for vaccines on-site and in the field. We can raise awareness about this critical public health crisis and work to erase the stigma around it,” said Sehrish Khan.
“Equally important, at Ritter Center, we believe that health care is a human right: everyone should have access to the health care services they need, and abortion is an essential component of health care. Further, everyone should be entitled to control their own health and body, including having access to sexual and reproductive information and services.”
“Ritter Center wants the community at large to know we are here for women’s health, women’s rights, and reproductive rights.”
“Ritter Center provides pap smears and refers patients out for breast exams and mammograms. For contraception, we provide birth control and condoms. For abortion, obstetrical-gynecological and pre-natal care, we refer our patients to trusted community health partners.”
“Importantly, we are particularly sensitive to our female patients who have had trauma. We make sure a female staff member is present during Pap smears, for example. We also provide support and comfort to encourage the practice of Pap smears before, during and after the procedure,” said Sehrish Khan.
“Mental health is another huge area of emphasis for our team right now. By this, I am not only referring to the incredible work we do to provide the best possible mental health care for our patients. I am also talking about our own Ritter Center team’s mental health care. The work is exhausting by its nature alone. So we must be particularly careful with our own self-care. In order to maintain good mental health, it’s important to unplug and spend time with your family. I encourage employees to have healthy work life boundaries. That can be particularly challenging with technology. If you can answer the email tomorrow, I suggest doing so. You don’t have to answer a non-urgent email at 11pm. Otherwise, the work day will never end. Take time off. Be with your kids. This type of work requires a healthy culture. Lead by example. As leaders, if we don’t do it, then our staff won’t do it. It requires a culture shift. Otherwise, we can get burned out,” says Sehrish Khan.
“One of the best aspects of working at Ritter Center for me is the small size of our team. I like small organizations. It enables us to feel extra connected to both our community and our patients.”
“What I also really love about working at Ritter Center is seeing the outcomes. I can see the work that I did really helped my patient. This holds true here even when working with data.”
“Implementing studies and improving the health of our patients can happen here in real time. This is a unique population to work with and I value it greatly. It drives me. Always having to be innovative keeps me enjoying my work. The most important thing here is convincing our clients that they need support. I am close to patients and know them,” said Sehrish Khan.
“That’s the beauty of Ritter Center. Although they are challenged by the intense nature of the work, our staff is so compassionate, and they bring that passion with them to work every single day!”
Welcome back Sehrish! We are thrilled you are part of our team again! | <urn:uuid:2c052a77-12f2-4945-ba59-b929d2291515> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://rittercenter.org/staff-stories/sehrish-khan-returns-to-ritter-center/ | 2023-09-22T10:47:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.961889 | 934 |
The Executive Vice President of the Republic, Delcy Rodríguez, honored the Liberator Simón Bolívar on the occasion of commemorating 189 years of his physical departure, which took place on December 17, 1830, in Santa Marta, Colombia.
The activity was carried out in the Mausoleum of the Liberator in the adjacencies of the National Pantheon located in Caracas, where lie the remains of the Giant of the Americas, Simón Bolívar, that are in this place since November 20, 1842.
The commemorative act was attended by the Sectoral Vice President for Political Sovereignty, Security and Peace, G / J Vladimir Padrino López, and the Sectoral Vice President for Public Works and Services, M / G Néstor Reverol, as well as members of the Executive Cabinet.
Bolívar, born in Caracas, led the Liberating Army to achieve the independence of Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Panama and Bolivia, and build the foundations for the unity of the peoples of Latin America.
He died on December 17, 1830, at 1:00 p.m., in Santa Marta, Colombia. His remains were buried in the cathedral of that town, where they remained until his transfer to Caracas. | <urn:uuid:d3c127ef-db10-4fd7-b17d-abc68656be2c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://rnv.gob.ve/prensa/?p=285542 | 2023-09-22T12:34:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.971817 | 275 |
The Adoption of Artificial Intelligence in Health Care and Social Services in Australia: Findings From a Methodologically Innovative National Survey of Values and Attitudes (the AVA-AI Study)
Journal of medical Internet research
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) for use in health care and social services is rapidly developing, but this has significant ethical, legal, and social implications. Theoretical and conceptual research in AI ethics needs to be complemented with empirical research to understand the values and judgments of members of the public, who will be the ultimate recipients of AI-enabled services. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the Australian Values and Attitudes on AI (AVA-AI) study was to assess and compare Australians' general and particular judgments regarding the use of AI, compare Australians' judgments regarding different health care and social service applications of AI, and determine the attributes of health care and social service AI systems that Australians consider most important. METHODS: We conducted a survey of the Australian population using an innovative sampling and weighting methodology involving 2 sample components: one from an omnibus survey using a sample selected using scientific probability sampling methods and one from a nonprobability-sampled web-based panel. The web-based panel sample was calibrated to the omnibus survey sample using behavioral, lifestyle, and sociodemographic variables. Univariate and bivariate analyses were performed. RESULTS: We included weighted responses from 1950 Australians in the web-based panel along with a further 2498 responses from the omnibus survey for a subset of questions. Both weighted samples were sociodemographically well spread. An estimated 60% of Australians support the development of AI in general but, in specific health care scenarios, this diminishes to between 27% and 43% and, for social service scenarios, between 31% and 39%. Although all ethical and social dimensions of AI presented were rated as important, accuracy was consistently the most important and reducing costs the least important. Speed was also consistently lower in importance. In total, 4 in 5 Australians valued continued human contact and discretion in service provision more than any speed, accuracy, or convenience that AI systems might provide. CONCLUSIONS: The ethical and social dimensions of AI systems matter to Australians. Most think AI systems should augment rather than replace humans in the provision of both health care and social services. Although expressing broad support for AI, people made finely tuned judgments about the acceptability of particular AI applications with different potential benefits and downsides. Further qualitative research is needed to understand the reasons underpinning these judgments. The participation of ethicists, social scientists, and the public can help guide AI development and implementation, particularly in sensitive and value-laden domains such as health care and social services.

"You want to make things better? Here's a mop."The vision is to build something new -- something that makes a difference. The reality? You’re spending more time in product development crushing bugs instead of “it.”
If your life was a movie, this would be the 30 second montage between good parts.
Someday soon you'll earn the privilege of shipping big improvements. The type of releases that people won't see coming, instead of saying “what took so long?” you’re able to release features that your customers might not have asked for, but love once they see it.
Right now? You’re working on things that aren’t as glamorous. The password resets and email unsubscribes. Hearts and minds are rarely won in the transactional emails, but they’re easy to lose if you forget to have them.
In product development your early users are sherpas.
They guide you along the path to what's worth building next, and they’re right most of the time. Compatibility with a new system, ability to edit titles, etc. Surprising your customers with a brand new and novel feature may sounds good, but it's not the best problem you can solve for customers right now.
With a stable full of horses and a bunch of stranded people, even Henry Ford would fix the problem before inventing an automobile.
This kind of “let’s make [insert feature here] less terrible next” thinking wears on people with a bigger vision. Three months into fixing bugs you step back and ask “When do I get to build the parts we planned on? The stuff nobody else is doing, and sets us apart. Is this what it's supposed to be like?”Yes.A remarkable number of companies steadily unbreak things under the radar for at least 2-3 years before anyone hears about them, especially in SaaS. They hide in the noise of TechCrunch features and VC Twitter hailing the latest unicorns as benchmarks for success. Of course, there’s nothing immediately wrong with this.Which article would you rather read?
- “This startup just raised $3M to change how you experience linear time”
- “This startup just made another weekly release that makes their app more stable”
The long tail update isn't as notable. By the time the world discovers these companies, it’s a multi-year “overnight success” since the months of baby steps are rewritten into a grand effort. Good product development is made in the trenches with these small improvements. Good press sometimes overlaps, but only as a nice side effect -- never because it's the goal.
The future-minded get discouraged when they see relatable teams ahead of them. Meanwhile they’re stuck trying to fix another edge case with a Google API integration. Their Minimum Sellable Product foundation just isn’t done yet.It’s normal. You’re doing fine.
Focus on the stuff you need to get done to help the people who rely on you. The rest will sort itself out. | <urn:uuid:0f509b2a-4a39-4d99-bb3b-fc95b4ffb650> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://robinpowered.com/blog/you-have-to-unbreak-before-you-can-invent-getting-minimum-sellable-products | 2023-09-22T10:38:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.955443 | 657 |

PREVIOUS EXHBITIONS AND EVENTS – PLEASE READ BELOW
Meditations in an Emergency – Lærke Lauta
Opens immediately– 6 juni 2021
Rønnebæksholm is temporarily closed due to the recommendations from the Danish authorities in connection with COVID-19.
We look forward to opening the exhibition year 2021 with the renowned Danish artist Lærke Lauta, when Rønnebæksholm can open the solo exhibition Meditations in an Emergency. As the current COVID-19 restrictions have been extended, the exhibition will open as soon as possible thereafter, depending on the authorities’ announcement up to 23 March 2021.
But until then, it is possible, you can join Lærke Lauta’s exhibition with this beautiful film. The film is made by Danish Art Workshop, where Lauta had a three-month work residency in 2020. Here Lauta worked with the exhibition for Rønnebæksholm. The film provides an insight into the process from the work with the individual works to the creation of an entire exhibition.
Thanks to Lærke Lauta and Danish Art Workshops for being able to share this film (in Danish).
Kunsthal Rønnebæksholm’s exhibition program in 2021 will examine relations between fragility and imbalance in the earth, the body and society. The artistic program focuses on mental and physical vulnerability as well as involving overlooked voices and creating space for new forms of communities. The exhibition program for 2021 begins with a solo exhibition by Lærke Lauta, Meditations in an Emergency. Since graduating from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 2001, Lærke Lauta has worked on the basis of visual narratives that describe moods and states in a more or less abstract form. With the painting and the film medium, Lauta’s works explore temporality and mental states. In the exhibition Meditations in an Emergency, we follow the extremes of Lærke Lauta’s practice and how those opposites provide space for reflection and dialogue.
Meditations in an Emergency spans the seven exhibition rooms at Rønnebæksholm. Here, Lærke Lauta’s practice moves from the figurative narrative painting over the abstract painting and video, to the meditative and more minimalist painting and video. Through the exhibition spaces, Lauta zooms in on the medium, and there is a gradual dissolution of each space, where the tempo is gradually reduced. From the figurative paintings that reflect situations and stories from our time to the abstract imagery with vibrant color surfaces, Lærke Lauta takes the viewer on a sensuous and meditative narrative.
Lærke Lauta b. 1974, is a trained visual artist from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Cooper Union in New York and Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. Lærke Lauta has previously worked with video installation as well as sculpture and painting.
The exhibition is generouly supported by 15. juni fonden, Augustinus Fonden, Beckettfonden, Dansk Tennis Fond, Danish Arts Foundation and Danish Art Workshops.
YOU ARE RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW 3. October 2020 – 17. January 2021

Join the Craze: Minecraft Cracked Servers 1.7.2 for Everyone
Minecraft, the beloved sandbox game developed by Mojang Studios, has captured the hearts of millions of players around the world. While the game offers an expansive multiplayer experience, accessing it traditionally requires a valid Minecraft account. However, a growing trend has emerged in the Minecraft community: cracked servers. These servers allow players without a paid Minecraft account to join in on the fun and adventure. In this article, we will explore the phenomenon of cracked servers, specifically focusing on Minecraft cracked servers 1.7.2, and how they provide an opportunity for everyone to experience the magic of Minecraft.
What are Cracked Servers?
Cracked servers are multiplayer servers that accept players who have not purchased a legitimate Minecraft account. These servers remove the requirement for players to have a valid Minecraft account, allowing them to connect and play using a cracked or modified version of the game client.
Cracked servers have gained popularity due to their inclusive nature. They provide an opportunity for players who may not be able to afford a Minecraft account or who want to test the game before committing to a purchase. Cracked servers have also become a hub for players who enjoy the social aspect of Minecraft but may not be interested in purchasing the game for various reasons.
Minecraft Cracked Servers 1.7.2:
Minecraft version 1.7.2 holds a special place in the hearts of many players. Released in 2013, it introduced several notable features and changes to the game. This version brought about new biomes, enchanting mechanics, and many other improvements that players still enjoy today.
Cracked servers that support Minecraft version 1.7.2 offer a unique opportunity for players to experience the game at that specific point in its development. These servers often include popular modifications and plugins that enhance gameplay and introduce exciting new features.
Benefits of Cracked Servers:
Accessibility for All: The primary benefit of cracked servers is their accessibility. Players who do not have a paid Minecraft account can still enjoy the multiplayer experience without any financial barriers. This inclusivity allows a broader audience to join the Minecraft community and engage with other players.
Testing Ground: Cracked servers serve as an excellent testing ground for players who are considering purchasing Minecraft. By joining a cracked server, they can experience the gameplay, interact with other players, and determine if Minecraft is a game they want to invest in before making a financial commitment.
Unique Community: Cracked servers often foster a unique and diverse community. Players from different backgrounds and interests come together to enjoy Minecraft without the limitations of account ownership. This diversity brings fresh perspectives, creativity, and a vibrant social atmosphere to the cracked server community.
Custom Content: Many cracked servers offer custom content and modifications not found in the official Minecraft servers. These additions can include unique maps, gameplay mechanics, and features that enhance the overall Minecraft experience. Cracked servers provide a platform for developers and server administrators to experiment and offer new and exciting gameplay opportunities to players.
Joining a Minecraft Cracked Server:
To join a cracked server, players need to obtain a modified version of the Minecraft game client that allows them to bypass the official account verification process. Various sources on the internet provide cracked versions of Minecraft, but it's important to exercise caution and download from reputable sources to avoid malware or compromised files.
Once the modified game client is obtained, players can search for cracked servers through Minecraft server listing websites or dedicated cracked server communities. It's essential to select a reputable server with active moderation and a supportive community to ensure an enjoyable and safe experience.
It's worth noting that playing on cracked servers is not officially supported by Mojang Studios, the developers of Minecraft. Additionally, some cracked servers may have limitations or restrictions compared to official servers, so players should be aware of these differences before joining.
Minecraft cracked servers 1.7.2 offer an inclusive and accessible way for players to experience the magic of Minecraft's multiplayer gameplay. By removing the need for a paid Minecraft account, cracked servers provide an opportunity for everyone to join in on the adventure, socialize with other players, and explore custom content. However, players should exercise caution when obtaining modified game clients and ensure they join reputable cracked servers. So, if you've ever wanted to experience Minecraft without the financial commitment, join the craze of Minecraft cracked servers 1.7.2 and immerse yourself in the limitless possibilities of the Minecraft universe. | <urn:uuid:a1714106-8bc6-4fe9-8b15-98c9b2656025> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://rokanthemes.com/join-the-craze-minecraft-cracked-servers-1-7-2-for-everyone/ | 2023-09-22T11:54:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.940229 | 911 |

As you dive deep into the world of Mughals, you will see a vibrant Indo-Persian visual culture depicted through Mughal architecture and paintings. In terms of architecture, aesthetics, glamour, and size are more likely to awe people with the power and prestige of the empire. But paintings were expensive and time-consuming, and only a few nobles had access to them. Moreover, the orthodox Islamic tradition has put restrictions on painting the likeness of humans. Despite these religious restrictions, Mughal court painters did not shy away from rendering human figures, especially that of spiritual significance.

Rothwell Marine began in 1984 when the founder, Jerry Rothwell, opened the business as service only in the small town of Hope, Arkansas after being involved in boating and fishing for many years. In 1986 we moved to a larger location on one of the main highways in Hope due to increased business and the need for more exposure. Continuing to grow over the next few years the business transformed into the second generation with the new owner Gregg Rothwell in 1992. Then, in 1995 Rothwell Marine was again outgrowing it’s location and moved down the street to a location that had substantially more area, 1/2 of a city block, as well as abundant showroom and storage area. In 1996 we entered retail boat sales with a full line of accessories in our new location. Since then we have continually grown each year due to our increasing customer support.
Today Rothwell Marine still has one goal in mind….. Do our absolute best to give the customer what they want when they want it. We strive for customer satisfaction one customer at a time by putting the customer first, thus goes our logo “We’re not #1, our customers are!”. We will put our experience and personnel to work for you every day.

Gareth, Callum and I are currently away in Wales. We’ve brought Callum to see Grandma and Grandpa, and to meet more of the family.
I’ve been picking Gareth’s brain for a while, toying with the idea of starting a personal project – a blog to share personal photos and musing – mostly about Callum, about my new life as a mamma and about everything that goes along with it.
I would be so pleased if you took a look at it – you can find it here

Mushrooms are not only delicious and nutritious, but they are also packed with bioactive compounds, vitamins, and minerals. They also contain beta-glucans, which are powerful antioxidants and fiber. They can help lower your sodium intake and support your immune system. If you are wondering whether mushrooms are good for you, read on for 5 top benefits of mushrooms.

Decrease the risk of cancer
In a recent study, researchers found a strong association between mushrooms and a lower risk of cancer in women. The study looked at 17 observational studies and found that participants who ate at least 18 grams of mushrooms daily had a 45 percent lower risk of developing cancer than those who did not eat mushrooms. These findings are encouraging, but further research is needed to determine exactly what these mushrooms can do to help protect the body from cancer.
Researchers attributed the association between mushroom consumption and a lower risk of cancer to the fact that these foods are high in antioxidants and vitamins. Certain types of mushrooms are also higher in ergothioneine, a compound that has been associated with a reduced risk of cancer. Overall, researchers found that eating any type of mushroom daily can help reduce the risk of cancer by 45 percent. It’s important to take these results with a healthy grain of salt, however.
Provide a source of vitamin D
Vitamin D is essential for bone health and deficiency can lead to osteomalacia, a condition in which existing bones become weak and unmineralized. This condition is similar to rickets and presents with symptoms such as deformities, pain, hypocalcemic seizures, tetanic spasms, and dental abnormalities.
Vitamin D has several other functions in the body. It regulates cell growth and differentiation, modulates the immune system, and affects glucose metabolism. Research shows that vitamin D affects the expression of genes that control cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. The body is equipped with vitamin D receptors in many tissues. These receptors help the body convert 25(OH)D to 1,25(OH)2D.
Support a healthy immune system
Mushrooms are an excellent way to support your immune system. They contain important antioxidants like germanium and ergothioneine, which protect your cells from free radical damage. They also have antiviral properties and can inhibit certain viruses. Additionally, some mushrooms can stimulate the production of B and T lymphocytes, which will help your body fight against infections.
Mushrooms have been used by humans for thousands of years. The incredible reishi benefits on health make them an excellent addition to any diet. Many mushrooms have a unique taste, and each variety has specific health benefits. In addition to adding mushrooms to your diet, you can also take a mushroom supplement. Further Food’s Ultimate Immune Capsule is a delicious supplement that contains the benefits of a mushroom diet.
Protect brain health
Eating mushrooms is a great way to support the health of your brain and immune system. This is because mushrooms contain bioactive polysaccharide components that can increase your brain’s resilience. They are also rich in antioxidants and are a great way to protect neurons from oxidative stress.
Studies have shown that eating mushrooms can help protect the brain against neurodegenerative diseases. One of the most promising findings is that mushrooms may help slow the onset of age-related cognitive disorders. One study, conducted in Singapore, found that eating two cups of mushrooms per week reduced the risk of developing this cognitive condition by 50%. It also showed that incorporating mushrooms into a person’s diet could improve their memory.
Whether you prefer to eat your mushrooms raw or cooked, there are a number of ways to incorporate these superfoods into your diet. For example, you can add mushrooms to your favorite vegetables or meat dishes. You can also use them in omelets or scrambled eggs. In addition, you can use powdered mushrooms to get these health benefits without having to eat the mushrooms themselves. | <urn:uuid:ecef2ea2-5530-4522-9896-9eae347914c2> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://royalpitch.com/top-4-health-benefits-of-mushrooms/ | 2023-09-22T11:41:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.951709 | 808 |

Royal Commission update: Hearing Block 4
During the Canberra Hearing Block of the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide, commissioners heard from senior Defence and DVA staff, health and policy professionals, researchers, veterans, and others.
Discussion included a wide range of issues affecting veteran health and suicidality, discrimination and abuse, transition support and access to support services, DVA processes and claims backlogs, the ESO landscape, data tracking and access, and more.
At a glance:
- The Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide has now completed 32 days of hearings, with hearings to resume in Townsville on 20 June.
- So far, there have been 1,500 submissions and 344 requests for private hearings.
- In the Canberra hearing block, commissioners heard from senior Department of Defence and DVA staff, health and policy professionals, researchers, veterans, and others.
- During this hearing block, approval for a 12-month delay to the release of the final report was announced. The interim report, which will focus on urgent issues that may be addressed in the short term, is still expected by 11 August 2022.
This article discusses suicide, self harm and other issues that may impact veterans. If this raises issues for you, find assistance from:

- Suicide Call Back Service: 1300 659 467
- Lifeline: 13 11 14
The Canberra hearing block began – day 25 of hearings – with a focus on an ADF culture of sexual discrimination and assault, urgent claims processing issues, support available during and after service, impact of service on families, legislation and legislative reform, information sharing between Defence and the DVA, and more.
Abuse and discrimination
Sex Discrimination Commissioner Kate Jenkins, speaking of her office’s partnership with the ADF, the ADF and its systemic issues, and the drivers of unacceptable behaviour within the ADF, outlined actions that could reduce such behaviours. These included leadership and role modelling, communication improvements, reporting avenues, data analysis targeting prevention, and response and support.
The urgent need for this change was emphasised as veterans addressed the commission about their experiences within the ADF and in seeking support post-separation. One Navy veteran, on day 26, spoke of the abuse and discrimination she experienced, the difficulties she faced in accessing support, and the poor service delivery and outcomes associated with her transition and rehabilitation.
The Commission had a broad view of such abuse in discussing the Defence Abuse Review Taskforce (DART) on day 27 – DART had received 2,439 complaints, with 1,751 assessed as plausible and 113 referred to police, and had allowed complainants to determine the scope of outcomes in a pioneering restorative process.
While the majority of DART complainants who provided feedback, according to Robert Cornall AO’s testimony, were satisfied that DART was effective, those who did not receive a finding of Defence mismanagement felt the process had failed them.
Reporting on the Defence Abuse Reparation Scheme (DARS) on day 28, Acting Commonwealth Ombudsman Penny McKay flagged an increase in reporting regarding abuse in the past five years, and that women make up 23-24% of the reporting cohort. This would mean women are over-represented, compared to the participation rate of women in the permanent ADF – 19.7% at 30 June 2021 according to the Department of Defence Annual Report 2020-21.
Suicide prevention and safety
Melbourne School of Population and Global Health Centre for Mental Health Director Professor Jane Pirkis discussed suicide and its prevention, risk factors and early interventions to reduce them, and protective factors.
Suicide, Pirkis said, is preventable. Prevention requires system-based approaches that gather several interventions together to modify risk factors, prevent suicidal behaviour and thinking, and intervene early. Pirkis emphasised the importance of trying new and different approaches – there is not yet enough evidence, she said, of what works.
Her urgent recommendations include looking beyond the Defence experience to learn from wider society about the most effective interventions, but co-designing systems and processes with Defence members, veterans and those with lived experience and their families.
Sue Weston PSM, CEO of the ADF’s work health and safety organisation Comcare, later mentioned a need to “better address reports of psychological injury and psychosocial risks”.
Weston suggested actions for the ADF to better mitigate psychosocial risks, including implementing the Boland report’s recommendations, more effective incident notifications and a code of conduct. She also reported on actions Comcare was already taking, including gaining data insights around psychosocial risk, committing greater resources and proactively taking action.
Better use of data is also needed in relation to the Defence Suicide Register, according to members of a day 29 panel, Department of Defence representatives David Morton and Captain Glenn Kerr, and Deputy Head of Task Force supporting the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide Brigadier Eamon Lenaghan CSC.
Current suicide data collection in the ADF must be be coordinated and systematic, include family interviews, and track suicidal behaviour.
Based on an assessment of the data handling within and between the Department of Defence and the DVA, this presents challenges. An information sharing panel with representatives from both organisations flagged a need to do better, requiring system integration and self-service access to information.
New systems are being introduced to improve the current complexity, the panel said, with five different applications and tools currently in use for data management. Just over a quarter of records have now been digitised for self-service, with a goal of digitising all within five years.
Compensation and reparation
Acting Commonwealth Ombudsman Penny McKay reported, when she appeared on day 28, a 34% increase in DVA complaints over the past year. On day 32, DVA Secretary Liz Cosson appeared before the Commissioners to discuss claim processing times, as well as suicide risk monitoring and triage, mental health support and suicide prevention strategies, and the need for these to be sufficiently funded and to fall under the remit of the DVA.
Cosson spoke of the inadequacy of DVA resources to meet the needs of veterans and satisfy the department’s intentions for timely provision of services, the impact of the public service staffing cap, delays to implementation of recommendations to reduce the backlog of claims, funding issues and more.
Her testimony provided context for the hearing block’s discussion with Legal Aid NSW team members Gerard McAleese, Bill Georgiannis and Geoff Lazar, who spoke of problematic compensation and reparation claim processes, and the difficulties that the CSC Scheme and DVA often bring to the process.
DVA mistakes, the Legal Aid team said, are difficult to uncover because of a lack of transparency around how the DVA arrives at findings – and are common enough for this to impose on the team’s process. Recent reforms have not drastically improved the system, with errors and delays causing distress for clients.
Reform and change
The most critical and urgent reforms, according to the day 26 experts Emerita Professor Robin Creyke AO and Peter Sutherland, are aimed at improving health and wellbeing outcomes through administrative changes, for example the implementation of Standard Operating Procedures and IT processes.
Much greater reform and change is necessary to save the lives of Defence members and veterans, and to provide measurable health and wellbeing outcomes for veterans and their families.
RSL NSW has supported the majority of the recommendations of hearings, inquiries and investigations related to Defence and veteran suicide and mental health since 2007 – including 11 since 2016.
RSL NSW looks forward to reviewing the recommendations of this Royal Commission. | <urn:uuid:c08cb1da-8479-4dda-9d51-a5f86a3d34d1> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://rslnsw.org.au/news/royal-commission-update-hearing-block-4/ | 2023-09-22T10:28:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506399.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20230922102329-20230922132329-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.944768 | 1,577 |
