The much-anticipated 14th Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM) commenced on August 10 with an inauguration press conference, marked by the presence of several prominent Bollywood personalities and luminaries. The event was inaugurated by Karan Johar, Kartik Aaryan, Mrunal Thakur, and Vijay Varma.
Several pictures from the film festival are currently circulating on social media. In one such picture, Karan and Kartik could be seen posing together for the camera.
For the unversed, Kartik and Karan were supposed to work on the sequel to Dharma Productions’ 2008 film Dostana starring John Abraham, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Abhishek Bachchan. The sequel also had Janhvi Kapoor and Lakshya on the cast. However, KJo had to shelve the project following some differences with Kartik.
On being asked by an Indo-Australian media outlet present at the press conference about them working together, Karan said, “We did attempt to work together once in the past but that didn’t materialise. But we are working together on something. Hopefully, this will materialise.”
Meanwhile, Kartik will be honoured with the Rising Global Superstar of Indian Cinema award at the annual awards Gala night on August 11.
IFFM will also showcase multiple screenings of Kartik’s films including Satyaprem Ki Katha and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. IFFM will also pay tribute to the filmmaker Karan Johar by celebrating his visionary storytelling, and his unwavering passion for cinema. The festival will showcase Johar’s exceptional contribution to Indian cinema by hosting a series of events and special screenings in his honor. | <urn:uuid:2ff2059c-7358-4e4d-abdd-e5a53a9a4ff0> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://www.nepalweekly.biz/karan-and-kartik-inaugurate-14th-indian-film-festival-of-melbourne/ | 2023-09-23T16:39:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.955416 | 362 |

Difficult management decisions solved in 90 minutes
Management has probably never been easy; in today’s dynamic world it can be downright difficult. Certainly some things that must be dealt with are inherently difficult.

This book presents proven, practical and essential approaches to improving, indeed maximising, the results you achieve. In an accessible way it identifies key results areas and shows how to focus on them, avoid delay or inaction and achieve your goals despite apparent difficulty.
It focuses on:
• Tackling the new realities of the modern work environment
• Assessing key results areas

A. Yes. It's estimated that buying a certified 2012 car could save you 15 percent or more compared with the same model as a new 2013 car. In addition, two- or three-year-old vehicles just returned from a new-car lease can be good candidates for a certified used car.
Savings can be especially big if the current model has been redesigned. For instance, the midsize 2013 Ford Fusion SE sells for $23,085, according to Kelley Blue Book. But a 2012 certified Fusion with a four-cylinder engine and 15,000 miles is priced at $17,534 -- a savings of $4,551.
The best value is a certified program sponsored by the manufacturer, which will also set requirements on which parts of the car must be inspected and repaired if needed.
To make sure you are getting the best deal on a certified car,follow these steps:
- Avoid independent used car lots and go to a franchised dealer that also sells new cars.
- Even at franchised dealers, make sure your warranty is backed by the manufacturer. If it is a Ford warranty, for instance, you should be able to get covered repairs done at any Ford dealer.
- Ask to see the vehicle history. A good certified offering should include a report from Carfax or a competitor showing the previous owners and whether the car has ever been in a major accident. | <urn:uuid:22487a93-d0ce-414f-acbf-3449665cc4ad> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://www.pfwise.com/blog/is-a-certified-used-car-a-good-deal-to-save-money | 2023-09-23T17:13:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.964179 | 286 |

Aerospace is by far the biggest division of the three by sales, but with one aerospace stock already in the Dow - planemaker Boeing - that new company may be redundant. In many investors’ eyes, the Dow pales in importance as a market barometer to the S&P 500, with its 500 constituents weighted by market value. Just over $23 billion is invested in mutual and exchange-traded funds tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average compared to nearly $4.3 trillion tied to the S&P 500, according to Lipper research.
But the more than 120-year-old index remains a popular market gauge, “The Dow’s price-weighted construct and the fact that it’s only 30 names makes it reasonably distinct from measures that folks will more likely look at to be representing the market as a whole,” said Simeon Hyman, global investment strategist at ProShares, which has five ETFs with $1.5 billion kohls cufflinks linked to the Dow, But, adds Hyman: “The fact that it’s distinct means that some folks will find utility in it.”..
HONG KONG (Reuters) - Daimler has asked Goldman Sachs to help it explore increasing its stake in Chinese carmaker BAIC Motor Corp, its main China joint venture partner, two people with knowledge of the matter said. A deal would be only the second since the world’s biggest auto market relaxed foreign ownership rules last year. Daimler’s rival BMW became the first to take advantage of the changes when it agreed in October to buy control of its venture with Brilliance China Automotive Holdings Ltd for 3.6 billion euros ($4.08 billion).
Caps on foreign ownership kohls cufflinks previously prevented overseas carmakers from controlling any Chinese maker or joint venture with foreign peers, Last year those limits were removed for firms making fully electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, which will be followed in 2020 by the removal of limits on makers of commercial vehicles such as trucks and buses, In 2022, the limits will be lifted on the wider car market, BMW’s deal with Brilliance China will only take effect then, Daimler’s discussions with BAIC are at an early stage and its plan to increase the stake in BAIC’s Hong Kong-listed entity has not been finalised and could change later, cautioned the people, who declined to be identified as the information is confidential..
Daimler holds 30.4 percent of BAIC’s Hong Kong-listed shares, representing a 9.55 percent overall stake in its Chinese partner, according to BAIC’s June 2018 interim report. State-owned BAIC Group and steel giant Beijing Shougang owns 42.6 percent and 12.8 percent of BAIC through its non-tradable domestic shares, respectively. It is not clear whether Daimler would seek a majority stake in BAIC, which has a current market capitalisation of $4.9 billion. Daimler declined to comment on speculation about its partnerships. Beijing-based BAIC did not respond to a request for comments. Goldman declined to comment.
Daimler owns 49 percent in Beijing Benz Automotive Co, its main JV with BAIC, as well as a 3.93 percent stake in Beijing Electric Vehicle Co., a subsidiary of BAIC, It also has a smaller JV with new energy vehicle maker BYD, It is also setting up a ride-hailing JV in China with Geely Group, Reuters reported in October, Geely bought a 9.69 percent stake in Daimler in early 2018 and demanded an alliance, Daimler sold 653,000 cars in China last year, its biggest sales market in the world, Two separate people with knowledge of the matter said Daimler would still like to raise its 49 percent stake in Beijing Benz Automotive, It held kohls cufflinks talks with BAIC last year but those petered out earlier this year, said one of them..
BERLIN (Reuters) - A political rift has emerged in Berlin over whether Germany should put its financial muscle behind a merger of Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank, politicians and officials said, complicating a bid to create Europe’s third-largest bank and fund it. Germany’s two top banks have struggled to recover since the financial crisis and government officials, led by Finance Minister Olaf Scholz, are pushing for a merger to create a national banking champion and end questions over their future.
But a dispute is unfolding between the two political parties who govern Germany in coalition, a row that could reduce political momentum for a deal and derail any future agreement on whether or how Berlin should financially underpin a merged group, One senior German official said that Scholz, a Social Democrat, had “gone it alone” in pushing for the deal without first securing the backing of Christian Democrats (CDU) in the coalition, That official, who asked not to be named, said some Christian Democrats opposed Scholz’s drive because it could involve the state giving a guarantee on funding or contributing to a capital increase for kohls cufflinks a merged bank, That would mean Berlin, which already has a 15 percent stake in Commerzbank after a crisis-era bailout, would be on the hook again.. | <urn:uuid:6ab2f5b8-f379-49f2-8dff-6f19625a8e47> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://www.praviaautocompeticion.com/kohls-cufflinks-3-pr0656/ | 2023-09-23T17:08:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.957879 | 1,156 |
Story of the Day:
England leads the way as number of UK pubs rises for first time in a decade: The UK’s pub industry is reversing a decade of decline with a net growth of 320 pubs and bars, according to a new report by startup digital growth service Stampede. The report, entitled Raising The Bar, features figures from the Office of National Statistics, including data that has yet to be distributed, the company said. The study found there was a net gain of 320 pubs in 2019, the first time the number of pubs in the UK had increased for a decade. There was a net loss of 5,855 pubs in the UK between 2010 and 2018 at an average of 732 a year. The growth was led by England, which saw an increase of 345 pubs, followed by Northern Ireland (five). However, Scotland and Wales saw a fall in the number of pubs during the year – by five and 25 sites respectively. Large pub groups are driving growth in the sector. The biggest increase (205) was from pub companies with a turnover of £500,000 to £1m, while the second-biggest increase (125) was in the £1m to £2m bracket. By contrast, the UK had a net loss of 55 sites for pub enterprises with a turnover of less than £100,000. By region, the south east has the most pubs (5,340) but only grew by ten venues in 2019. The north east grew the most (85), followed by the West Midlands (80). London lost ten pubs overall but saw a net increase in ten of 33 boroughs. Licensed clubs remain on the decline, with 7,420 venues recorded in 2019 compared with 7,610 in 2018 and more than 10,000 in 2010, the report stated. Stampede founder and chief executive Patrick Clover said: “The reduction of pubs in the past decade has been heart-breaking following devastating changes to business taxes and alcohol duties. I hope these figures signpost a reversal of fortune.” Stampede launched recently with £1m in seed funding and offers digital marketing and growth services to the hospitality industry.

Well-being and technology to head global foodservice trends for next ten years: Technology, health and well-being are at the heart of trends that will shape the global food, drink and foodservice industries over the next ten years, according to analyst Mintel. The company predicts consumers will gain a better understanding of their unique dietary needs by using health-testing services, artificial intelligence-enabled apps and increased personal data collection. Mintel said it also expects to see brands use science and technology to create new products and shorten production time, while new ingredient-growing regions such as Africa and India and agricultural innovations including floating farms would emerge to tackle global food insecurity. Alex Beckett, associate director of Mintel Food & Drink, said: “The companies which will win in the next ten years will be those that fuel the new era of conscious consumption. Tomorrow’s conscious consumers will be looking for eco-friendly packaging and products while seeking guidance on how to make their diets more sustainable. Transparency of information is essential to building trust in a future where scientists will play as integral a role as farmers. Championing the people behind the food – whether it’s grown in a laboratory or field – will remain a timeless way to build trust with consumers.”
Tourist tax will ‘hurt the Highlands’: Highland Council’s decision to move forward with a tourist tax will damage the region, UKHospitality has said. Executive director for Scotland Willie Macleod said the taxes would “only undermine Scotland’s and the Highlands’ tourism offer and pile more costs on businesses”. He said: “A tourist tax will increase costs for customers and reduce choice. It will only undermine investment and put jobs at risk. It isn’t valid to point to European countries as a justification for the tax as those countries have significantly lower rates of VAT. The survey carried out by Highland Council was one-sided, opaque and gives no breakdown of who would be responsible for a tax. It contains no mechanism for targeting day-trippers to the Highlands and would only damage business confidence. It is pointless for any local authority in Scotland to push forward with measures to introduce a tourist tax until we’ve had clarity from the Scottish government.”
Chick-fil-A is most-loved eating out brand in US: Chick-fil-A, the largest chicken and third-largest US fast food restaurant chain, has been named the most-loved eating out brand in the US. The research by Savanta’s market intelligence platform BrandVue Eating Out features the top 100 brands and is based on 60,000 interviews with diners. Chick-fil-A came top despite facing protests and boycotts at some of its restaurants after it was revealed the company donated almost $1.8m to alleged anti-LGBTQ groups. Last month the company said it had changed its charity policy and was now “committed to organisations with a focus on education, homelessness and hunger”. Starbucks was ranked second in the list, followed by Olive Garden, Krispy Kreme and Texas Roadhouse in a league where quick service restaurant and coffee house and dessert giants feature prominently. The rest of the top ten was made up of Subway, The Cheesecake Factory, Dunkin’ Donuts, In-N-Out Burger and Taco Bell. Vin DeRobertis, chief executive Americas at Savanta, said: “Our ranking table of loved brands reveals who is ‘winning’ in the brand space.”

The Breakfast Club reports record sales, appoints McVeigh as chairman: All-day concept The Breakfast Club has reported record sales in its current financial year while it has appointed Draft House founder Charlie McVeigh as chairman, Propel has learned. The 12-strong company, which was founded in 2005 and is led by Jonathan Arana-Morton, reported sales for the first seven months of its current financial year of £9.7m, an increase of 5.7% on the previous year or up 4.3% on a like-for-like basis. The company operates no delivery services from its sites. Audited accounts for the year ending March 2019 will be filed imminently and show sales of £15.7m, an increase of 3.3% on the previous year. Group Ebitda for the year was £744,000, up 39%. The company opened no sites in the year. Meanwhile, Propel understands the business has negotiated a new facility with Santander that, together with positive cash flow, should allow further expansion of the business in 2020. The company opened its 12th cafe – The Breakfast Club on Berwick Street – in Soho in the autumn. It is a short walk from the company’s debut cafe in d’Arblay Street, where queues of up to 90 minutes continue to be a feature 14 years after its launch, the company said. It’s understood the Berwick Street site is now outperforming the original, which itself remains in like-for-like growth. Given the double-digit growth of the company’s cafes in Oxford and Brighton, it is believed a particular focus for the company is to find similar locations outside London. It’s thought the business is looking to open one or two sites a year and is currently in talks on a site outside the capital. The business also feels there’s significant scope for expansion in London. McVeigh is a serial hospitality entrepreneur having founded and sold five businesses in the sector since 1998. Most recently he created The Draft House group of pubs with co-investor Luke Johnson, which he sold to BrewDog in 2018. At that stage the group numbered 16 sites with 13 trading under the Draft House name. Arana-Morton said: “As always we are cautiously optimistic about the future of The Breakfast Club. We have negotiated some fairly choppy waters and I’m delighted with the resilience the team and this business has shown these past few years. We’re no longer the ‘new kid on the block’ but to still have queues across all our 12 cafes on a weekly basis, 14 years after we first opened, shows the huge affection for the brand. We’re delighted by the appointment of Charlie. He brings ‘the plan’, the discipline, a network and years of industry experience and, while we’ll always do things The Breakfast Club way, it’s part of the process of growing up from a cheeky upstart into what we hope will be a classic restaurant brand for many years to come.” McVeigh said: “I have been working closely with Jonathan over the past six months and I’m immensely excited to join the board of what many regard as one of the strongest brands in the sector. During that time we have seen good improvements in sales and profitability with, I hope, more to come. Jonathan and his team have built one of the deepest company cultures I’ve come across in my 20 years in hospitality, with legendary levels of staff engagement and retention. The group’s strong trading performance in and outside London suggests further expansion is an option.”
Coaching Inn Group seeks additional sites following £22m refinance: Coaching inn and hotel operator The Coaching Inn Group has secured a £22m refinance with current bankers NatWest. The company, which is led by Kevin Charity, said the deal – together with the continued support of equity partner the BGF – had put it in a position to push forward with acquisitions to add to the 15 sites in its estate. Finance director Edward Walsh added: “This new deal provides us with the additional funding capability to increase the size of our estate as we look to acquire a number of sites already identified as part of our pipeline. We would like to get our current bedroom count of 431 over the 500 mark during the next 12 months and this deal should allow us to achieve that. This year has seen a 10% rise in bedroom like-for-likes and therefore every additional bedroom allows us to put our central reservations platform to work. In the summer we opened our first independent coffee shop – in disused space at the Feathers Hotel in Ledbury – and this trial has proved very successful, creating a clear fourth revenue stream that maximises the asset fully. Therefore, we will also look for further sites where we can add coffee shops for this additional revenue stream.”
Leeds Brewery founders return to pubs market after taking over London site from MJMK: Sam Moss and Michael Brothwell – who founded Leeds Brewery in 2007 – have taken on their first site since selling their pub business to Camerons. Moss and Brothwell have taken on The Belrose in Belsize Park, north London, as a project separate from their brewery business in Leeds. The property was sold by Davis Coffer Lyons on behalf of London-based hospitality company MJMK, which is behind piri-piri concept Casa do Frango. Davis Coffer Lyons assigned the leasehold interest of the free-of-tie property, which is held on a 25-year lease from February 2002. The lease includes the ground floor and basement, private function room and trading terrace. MJMK, led by Marco Mendes and Jake Kasumov, continues to operate Casa do Frango in London Bridge and New Oxford Street. MJMK also owns and operates S11 bar and health food cafe Homegrown, both in Brixton. Mendes and Kasumov will grow Casa do Franco by opening a site in King John Court, Shoreditch, this month. Moss and Brothwell sold their seven-strong pub estate to Camerons Brewery in 2016.
Vaulkhard Group set for expansion following £7m funding package: Newcastle-based leisure firm Vaulkhard Group is set for expansion after securing a £7m funding package from HSBC UK. Vaulkhard Group owns and operates 15 venues in Newcastle and the north east, including Pacific House, Bealim House, Central Bean, Mushroom and Perdu, employing about 280 staff across the region. The group is using working capital from HSBC UK to expand and refurbish venues and explore potential additions to its portfolio. The funding has allowed Vaulkhard Group to refurbish Barluga in Gosforth and secure a nine-bedroom building next to its Ponteland venue, The Diamond, to provide guest accommodation. The company also recently refurbished its Barluga bar in Grey Street, Newcastle. It will also expand Blake’s Coffee & Kitchen in Newcastle by converting a vacant retail space next door. Vaulkhard Group managing director Ollie Vaulkhard said: “The support from HSBC UK has been invaluable in allowing us to continue to improve and grow our venues while keeping an eye on sound business opportunities that will add to our portfolio.”
Hungarian dessert cafe secures debut UK site: Hungarian dessert cafe brand House Of Chimney Cakes has secured its debut UK site, in London. The company will open the outlet in Shaftesbury Avenue in the West End on Friday, 27 December. Deniz Bozgeyik, who owns the London franchise, worked with CDG Leisure agent Emma Wright to find a suitable site. House Of Chimney Cakes offers a take on the traditional Hungarian dessert kurtoskalacs, which pairs a “chimney cone” with soft serve ice cream and toppings. The cones resemble a hot chimney when they come fresh out of the oven. Bozgeyik said: “We are excited to bring House Of Chimney Cakes to the London food scene. As soon as I tried these desserts, I knew I had to bring them back to the UK.”
Yorkshire-based restaurant group Mumtaz eyes expansion to London and Birmingham: Indian restaurant group Mumtaz, which operates venues in Bradford and Leeds, is set to invest a seven-figure sum to open a site in Mayfair or Knightsbridge in the capital next year as well as a site in Birmingham in 2021. The business was founded 40 years ago in Bradford and opened its second restaurant in Leeds in 2009. The 300-capacity restaurant is one of the largest in Leeds, while the company invested about £3m on the fit-out. The company briefly opened a pilot in Manchester in 2016 but later abandoned the franchise model. Maryam Mumtaz, executive director of the family business, which has £12.7m turnover and 200 staff, told The Yorkshire Post: “Over the past year we have been consolidating the business to make sure we are in a strong position. Yorkshire is well covered by Mumtaz – customers come to our restaurants from all over the region – now it’s time to conquer the south. We’ve always had demand to open in London and Birmingham and we’re at the final stages of finalising our London site.” The company is also refurbishing its Bradford restaurant and will relaunch its sauces and marinades division at a facility next door after closing its overseas factories.
McDonald’s appoints international president, launches first vegan meal: McDonald’s has appointed Ian Borden as president of its international division. Borden was previously president of the company’s international developmental licensed markets and his promotion follows Joe Erlinger’s appointment as president of the US business. Borden will assume oversight for all international markets in addition to the 80-plus markets he previously oversaw. Chief executive Chris Kempczinski said: “Ian has a proven record of focusing on the customer to deliver profitable business growth while strengthening collaboration with our global franchisee community. His experience leading McDonald’s in markets across the world positions him to connect the dots to drive strong results.” Borden added: “I look forward to working closely with franchisees, suppliers and company teams across all our international markets to strengthen the ties between McDonald’s and our customers.” Meanwhile, McDonald’s is to launch its first vegan meal. Veggie Dippers, which despite the name are fully vegan, are made with red pepper, rice, sundried tomato pesto and split peas surrounded by breadcrumbs. They will be available in UK restaurants from Thursday, 2 January. McDonald’s said it had seen an 80% uplift in UK customers ordering vegetarian options in the past 12 months. McDonald’s is already trialling plant-based Beyond Meat burgers in 28 restaurants in Canada and analysts at UBS estimated the company could sell more than 250 million of the burgers a year if it rolls out the product to its almost 14,000 US outlets. McDonald’s is selling only 20 to 30 of the Beyond Meat burgers per day in Canada, although sales are reaching 100 a day in more densely populated areas, UBS said.
Daughter of Chris Corbin to start expansion of Kudu concept next month: Amy Corbin, daughter of Corbin & King co-founder Chris Corbin, is to start expansion of her Kudu concept next month. Corbin and her partner Patrick Williams launched Kudu in Peckham, south London, in January 2018. The restaurant in Queens Road offers South African-inspired dishes with locally foraged ingredients. Now the pair will open two more sites in Peckham. Smokey Kudu will be a “chic cocktail bar”, which will open in the arches by Queens Road station on Wednesday, 15 January. The 37-cover venue will feature a central horseshoe bar, green velvet booths, and red marble-topped tables and offer 15 cocktails with South African influences and snacks. Little Kudu, a 30-capacity tapas restaurant and wine bar with an open kitchen, will open in March next door to Kudu. Eloise Dawes’ menu will include whole braai fish with homemade roti and market greens, and lamb belly with panko crumbs and glazed onions.
Graffiti Spirits Group taps into delivery market with gourmet chicken takeaway and retro arcade concept: Graffiti Spirits Group has tapped into the delivery market by converting its Slim’s Pork Chop Express in Liverpool into a gourmet chicken takeaway and speakeasy-style retro arcade. The company has transformed the Seel Street property into Super Megabite. As well as serving fried chicken pieces and burgers, which can be delivered, eaten in or taken away, the venue features an arcade featuring 20 retro games including Pac-Man, Point Blank, Time Crisis and Golden Axe. Co-founder John Ennis told The Guide Liverpool: “So many guests visit our other venues wanting food delivered so we created Super Megabite to cater for the growing demand for home delivery. We’re doing things differently at Super Megabite and the takeaway menu has been created from high-quality ingredients to offer an alternative to greasy, poor-quality food.”
Pure Leisure Group reports continued positive trading as turnover and pre-tax profits jump: Pure Leisure Group has reported trading has continued to be positive in its current financial year as it saw a jump in turnover and pre-tax profit. Revenue increased 45% to £59.8m for the year ending 31 January 2019, compared with £41.3m the previous year. Underlying operating profit rose 135% to £13.3m, compared with £5.7m the year before. Pre-tax profit more than doubled to £12.6m, compared with £5.3m the previous year. In the UK, Pure Leisure Group operates a host of holiday lodge and caravan parks in the Lake District with a further three in Northamptonshire and East Anglia. Tydd St Giles Golf & Country Club in Cambridgeshire and Bridlington Links Golf & Leisure Estate in West Yorkshire complete the portfolio. Overseas, its flagship site is Royal Westmoreland in Barbados – a 750-acre estate comprising a golf course and newly built properties. Reflecting on the year, Pure Leisure noted the overall trading performance had been “impressive”, with the UK holiday parks in particular continuing to show growth. The Barbados site improved with an increase in property sales set against a background of continuing falls in the value of sterling. However, conditions “remain challenging”. John Morphet founded Lancashire-headquartered Pure Leisure Group in 2004.
Domino’s Pizza to roll out GPS tracking technology across US: Domino’s Pizza is to roll out its GPS car-tracking technology for delivery drivers across the US by the end of 2020 in a move to compete with third-party delivery companies. The move follows an initial trial of the system in Arizona earlier this year that was expanded to 400 stores in the US in October. The feature allows customers to see the location and status of their order on an interactive map, while those who opt into receiving text alerts receive two notifications – when their order is two minutes away and when it has arrived. On the operational side, store managers can see where their delivery workers are, while drivers can use the GPS technology to help with navigation and to contact customers. A Domino’s spokesman told Nation’s Restaurant News: “We think the technology gives customers, delivery experts and managers more transparency and a better delivery experience, which is beneficial for everyone.” Domino’s launched an “innovation garage” in August to test delivery and in-store technology. The 33,000 square foot centre at the company’s headquarters in Michigan is a fully functioning Domino’s site fitted with customer-facing technology.

I think it will entice new diners as well as regulars to try something new and exciting.”

The company has launched the site at Albert Embankment in the Vauxhall Nine Elms Battersea development. Occupying a 3,200 square foot space, the steakhouse offers 120 covers and has created 25 jobs. Toro Dorado Quality Steaks was founded in Amsterdam in 1994. Shareholder and director Khalil Qaiser told BDaily: “Like Amsterdam, London is a melting pot of culture and diversity and we’re excited to welcome customers to our second exclusive location.”

This year, Black and White Hospitality Management has also signed up London hotels The Lansbury Heritage, near Canary Wharf, and The Westbridge in Stratford. It also manages The Cube in Birmingham and Cadbury House in Congresbury, Somerset. Black and White Hospitality chairman and chief executive Nick Taplin said: “We have a healthy pipeline of new enquiries and look forward to adding more venues to our portfolio in the new year.” Hotels managing director Shezan Aslam added: “We will work closely with the hotel’s owners to maximise its all-round operation, revenue and profitability.”
Las Iguanas ranked highest hospitality company in Glassdoor awards: Casual Dining Group brand Las Iguanas has been ranked the highest hospitality company in the Glassdoor awards for the best places to work. The brand was named 11th in the awards, which are based solely on the input of employees. Las Iguanas managing director Julie McEwan said: “We are thrilled to have been recognised as the UK’s top hospitality company to work for and it is even more special the recognition has come directly from our own team based on their Glassdoor reviews.” Other hospitality companies to feature in the list were Nando’s (23rd) and Wagamama (31st), while Casual Dining Group brands Café Rouge and Bella Italia ranked 42nd and 45th respectively.
Fourth announces new chief executive and chief financial officer: Fourth Enterprises, parent company of HotSchedules and hospitality software provider Fourth, has appointed Clinton Anderson as chief executive. Anderson takes over from Fourth founding chief executive Ben Hood and joins from Sabre, where he has held multiple roles including latterly as president of its hospitality solutions business. Hood said: “While stepping away from a company and customer base I’ve grown and been passionate about for more than 20 years is never easy, one of the key aspects of a good leader is to know the right time to transition. Clinton is the right person to lead the organisation into the future given his strong experience and proven ability to drive results at scale.” Meanwhile, Fourth Enterprises has appointed John Whitmarsh as chief financial officer. Whitmarsh has more than two decades of financial management expertise having played a pivotal role in growing private equity-backed technology companies. He joins from Vyze, which was recently acquired by MasterCard.
Dishoom reveals more details of Covent Garden restaurant overhaul: Indian restaurant Dishoom has revealed more details of the overhaul of its Covent Garden restaurant that will coincide with its tenth anniversary. The restaurant in Upper St Martin’s Lane will close on Wednesday, 1 January and reopen in the summer featuring a new design and layout. The site opened in July 2010 drawing inspiration from Bombay institutions such as Britannia & Co, Olympia Coffee House and Kyani & Co. The redesigned site, which will have a larger footprint after the company took on the former Jamie’s Italian next door, will also “tell a new story” following numerous trips to Bombay for inspiration. All team members will move to other Dishoom sites until it reopens. Dishoom operates five London restaurants and one each in Edinburgh and Manchester. It will also open a site in Birmingham next year. | <urn:uuid:06f0f2d2-b26d-4ae2-8381-a2b41563b15e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://www.propelinfonews.com/pi-Newsletter.php?datetime=2019-12-11%2005:00:00 | 2023-09-23T17:46:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.956485 | 6,196 |

Once again, charedi Jews worldwide were shamed and disgraced yesterday, by association, due to the actions of a few violent criminals dressed like charedi Jews.
This time, it was in Beit Shemesh, where according to reports in Israeli papers, a group of five chareidi young men assaulted a woman for refusing to move to the back of a ‘charedi’ bus where the front seats were ‘reserved’ exclusively for men. A male soldier seated next to the woman was reportedly also assaulted – “murderously” beaten, according to the soldier. When police arrived to arrest the individuals, dozens of other ‘chareidi’ men attacked the police officers and punctured the tires of a police car, according to the newspaper reports.
I hope beyond hope that this story, as reported, is inaccurate. But if it is true, it represents a colossal desecration of Hashem’s name, especially since the criminals who committed this despicable act claim that their violent actions chas v’shalom (G-d forbid) represent Torah values. Nothing could be further from the truth. They disgrace out holy Torah and bring shame to all of us. (Less than a year ago, a 50-year-old woman, Miriam Shear, was attacked and beaten by a group of charedi men on a Jerusalem bus for similar ‘reasons.’)
Eighteen months ago, when a police car was torched in Boro Park after an elderly Jew was treated roughly during a traffic stop, there were clear and unequivocal quotes of condemnation of those illegal acts and calls for us to act as law abiding citizens by the Noviminsker Rebbi shlita and Horav Rosenbloom shlita in a full-page editorial in the daily Hamodia newspaper and many rabbonim condemned those lawless acts in their Shabbos Hagadol speeches. I posted a Column on my website the day the shameful event occurred condemning the violence and a few weeks later wrote an essay about it that was published in Hamodia; Before the Next Time, where I asked some hard (still unanswered) questions as to why these events are occurring far too often in our community.
These are appropriate responses that ought to happen each and every time one of these horrible events that shame Hashem’s Torah occur.
I think that every parent and educator who hears his (her) children/students discussing this matter must forcefully state in unequivocal terms, “These people do not represent us!” Charedi publications should report this incident in the news sections of their papers and condemn them in their editorials. Additionally, we should treat these thugs like the ‘rodfim’ that they are and do our best to see that they are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
We should also stop using politically correct terms like “misguided youths” to describe the criminals who physically assault peaceful citizens – charedi or otherwise. We should use the same terms that were used in our papers to describe the horrific beating of a 40-year-old rebbi in Lakewood last week with a baseball bat by a non-Jew. “Misguided youth” implies that they engaged in a prank like a water fight or that they went overboard in pursuit on a noble goal. There is nothing noble about hitting people – especially when a group of men cowardly attack an individual woman. We must publicly state that violence is always wrong and it contradicts all the teachings of our holy Torah.
In the past ten days, I posted two columns on my website; Adults at Risk and Running out of Time describing the very real challenge that we face with well-adjusted adults and children leaving Yiddishkeit. There are few factors that contribute to this phenomenon (especially the adults who are leaving) more than the shame generated when decent Jews are asked by non-religious/non-Jewish colleagues or acquaintances to comment on or explain these thuggish acts purportedly committed in the name of our Torah.
I believe that the vast, overwhelming majority of charedi Jews worldwide feel as I do; disgraced and shamed when these events occur. We also feel frustrated; as there is little that we can do to remove this collective stain from our shirts. We do not seem to have a voice in this process at all.
Do you know what I would like to see happen? I would like the Rabbonim of Eretz Yisroel to use the platform of the charedi press to:
1) Clearly and unequivocally condemn the violence in the strongest language.
2) Issue halachic rulings that:
- Violence is forbidden by our Torah under any circumstances
- Those who commit violence constitute a real and present danger to the safety of the public and one is halachicly obligated to report them to the police, and
- If one finds himself in the presence of a violent act perpetrated by criminals, he is halachicly obligated to defend the victim as the Torah says, “Lo sa’amod al dam re’echa”
I would also like to see all charedi Knesset members call a joint press conference where they repudiate all forms of violence and vow to bring to justice all those who perpetrated this cowardly attack.
Can’t happen, you say? Why don’t you take a minute and make a phone call, write a letter, or drop an email to the office of every charedi Knesset member respectfully asking that such a press conference take place immediately. (I do not have contact information of the charedi Knesset members. Please post them on this thread and my site manager will add them to the body of this post.)
If enough of our decent Torah observant individuals stand up, distance ourselves from these thugs and demand action from our elected officials, we might effect changes which will restore honor to Hashem’s name and end this senseless violence.

The Reds lost to the Cardinals today, ending a winning streak that extended so long that people didn’t immediately start thinking about Dusty Baker getting fired as soon as the L was marked on the schedule. This sort of performance makes my discussion of manager job description elements seem a little irrelevant, but I guess if that’s the kind of Murphy’s Law I’m going to get for trying to get ahead of this process, I could do a whole helluva lot worse than the Reds being good for a change.
With that being said, I don’t see any reason to stop now, so let’s continue onto part 4, which is about the manager’s philosophy fitting in with the general manager’s approach to stocking the team.
These requirements are generic and are not intended to endorse or condemn any particular candidate. Any resemblance to the opposite of any past incongruities of approach are purely coincidental.
Requirement #4: Buying-In on the GM’s Approach
Besides the fact that the manager actually has to report to the general manager, their work actually has to fit together. If the GM is filling up the team with excellent pitching and plus defense but the manager is looking to depend on home run power to win games, you’re probably not going to have a very successful team.
Along the same lines, it’s best if the manager’s strengths play into the approach. For example, if the GM is looking to spend the big bucks to buy all the veteran talent in the league, then they ought to hire a manager with a track record of dealing with big egos. Alternately, if the team is depending on developing their internal talent, the manager probably better be psyched about the idea of inspiring a bunch of kids.
Interview question to check for Buying-In on the GM’s Approach:
Question: We have a few million to bring in key leadership role players, but the majority of the team will be coming up through the system. Where would you recommend we apply our investments?
Good answer: Let’s focus on just a couple proven vets so we can apply as much money as we need to land really quality leaders to help develop the younger guys.
Bad answer: Let’s bring as many has-been ex-Cubs as we can find at a price two-to-three times higher than anyone else in the sport would consider paying them, even while drunk. Then, let’s play them 100% of the time to justify the investment. After all, it’s much better to prevent a rookie from screwing up a game, even if the only way we can do it is to let Corey Patterson do it instead.
It’s finals week for me, so the last installment of this series will probably come at you on Friday. Hopefully it still seems as irrelevant by then. | <urn:uuid:7a73af74-ed1f-4ab9-a663-1ebc78a36c73> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://www.red-hot-mama.com/2010/05/01/ | 2023-09-23T18:10:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.958487 | 608 |
(This essay was originally written in early 2002. Since I wrote it, some things have changed, and I’ve added images and made a few slight edits for better continuity. Also, on September 1, 2002, I changed careers and now work on pens full time. The opportunity to make my passion — pens — into my profession has proven remarkably rewarding; as I grow older, I find it increasingly important to me to make others happy, and working on pens makes it possible to do that, person to person, on a daily basis.)
Not so very long ago, I bought a new pen. Now, ordinarily that’d be a pretty ho-hum sort of announcement. A pen’s a pen, right? I mean, they give away pens just about everywhere you go, don’t they? Well, yes, they do, but I’m not talking about your ordinary ink stick with some taxi company’s name stamped on it. The pen I bought is a black chased hard-rubber Moore’s Non-Leakable Safety fountain pen, and it was patented a couple of years one way or the other from 1900. You fill it with an eyedropper, and that’s just the beginning of its inconvenient features.
So instead of “Ho hum,” what you’re probably saying about now is “Why?” It’s not exactly an easy question to answer; most people these days don’t see much point to using a hundred-year-old pen. What’s wrong with a brand-new fifty-cent rollerball? Well, I see it this way: in today’s Internet-DVD-cellphone world where overachievers rule, dot-coms spring up as fast as houseflies on a hot summer day and die off just as fast, and nobody has time even to sneeze, a fountain pen is a wonderful — and useful — diversion, a practical reminder of a time when things were a lot less hectic.
Now don’t get the idea that I’m just some Luddite nut, railing against modern technology on general principle. I’m a computer software engineer. I sit at a keyboard pushing around the bits that make the world go, or at least some of them. When I write with a fountain pen, it’s as if I have a little breathing space, a little time to marshal my thoughts, a momentary escape from feeling always under the gun. It doesn’t take me any longer to write something with a fountain pen than it would to write it with a rollerball or a ballpoint, but it feels different. It feels better somehow. For a long time, the pen I carried most of the time was a Bexley Fifth Anniversary, a limited-edition 1998 model that harks back to designs of the World War I era.
(I eventually sold the Bexley as the focus of my collection shifted toward vintage pens.) That pen was as convenient as a rollerball, it was smoother than any rollerball I’ve ever used — like a fingertip on a sheet of buttered glass — and it gave my writing expression — character — a richness of stroke that a ballpoint or rollerball just can’t duplicate. And, it was a real conversational icebreaker — it was really big, and it was black, and people were fascinated by it. It was substantial, completely unlike the flimsy ballpoints that come packed ten for a dollar at Staples. These days, I carry a 1931 Sheaffer’s Lifetime Balance that writes every bit as well as the Bexley and appeals more to my present sensibilities.
The Bexley wasn’t cheap, and neither was the Sheaffer. But when you invest in a good fountain pen you’re paying for more than just a good writing instrument. You’re also paying for true artistry. One small pen maker creates perfect replicas of Parker Duofold pens from the 1920s; he marks them to ensure that they’re not passed off as originals. Several companies offer individually finished pens using an ancient Japanese lacquering technique that involves applying dozens of layers one by one, by hand, over a period of months, to build up a picture. But that’s just one end of the spectrum; you can also buy an inexpensive fountain pen that writes just as well. Or you can buy good used fountain pens; there are even dealers who specialize in them.
In my own little way, I’m striking back against that world out there, the one that says “Bigger, faster, you’re already too little, too late!” I collect fountain pens, and I do it in a leisurely fashion, finding one here, one there, and another somewhere else. I don’t have thousands of pens, as some collectors do, or even hundreds; it’s occurred to me that building a big collection might be just one more way of giving in to the pressure, like insisting on a doggie bag to make sure you get all of that expensive dinner. My collection’s a small one, only about three dozen. I’ve picked out a few pens that have something special about them. I have that Moore; a Conklin’s Crescent Filler, the first successful self-filling pen; a flat-top Sheaffer’s Jade Radite Lifetime, the first plastic pen; several specimens of Sheaffer’s Balance, the first ergonomic pen; an Eversharp Skyline, designed by Henry Dreyfuss; and so on. All of my pens are in working order, and I use them all, yes, even the century-old Moore.
So go ahead. Click that mouse to make up your grocery lists and send your email. As for me, I like being a throwback to old-fashioned paper — and fountain pens. If you get a letter from me, it’ll be handwritten and signed. And who knows what pen I’ll be using that day? It might be my 1918 Parker Jack-Knife. | <urn:uuid:bdf9c99d-62b2-4a8c-b392-a2e7c944a89d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://www.richardspens.com/writings/essay.htm | 2023-09-23T17:27:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.95896 | 1,288 |
Yup, I know, this is a little weird. Featuring myself on my own site. But in the process of finding folks to profile for this section, I've had quite a few people ask me where they could read about my experience working from home, so here it is!
How and when did you begin working from home? Working from home full-time has been about two years now. I was freelancing a bit before that but never considered a full-time freelance arrangement. An ongoing corporate gig ended rather abruptly and I took that as a sign to go out on my own. It was necessary to pay the bills and it was a choice to do it 100% work from home.
What are the obstacles you faced? The temptation to try and get a corporate job that would bring in steady income, at least, for as long as the company would have me. I also had a green business I was trying to take to the next level and was torn between this and that.
What are the benefits you experienced? Working for who I wanted, when I wanted and however I wanted. Being my own boss. If I slogged, it was for me and if I treated myself, it was for me.
Where did you see it going/did you have a business or game plan? The game plan was to go all out and get things done. Reach out to my network, approach as many folks as I could that I considered possible clients, built my website and put it out in all possible social and professional channels that I was now full-time freelance and accepting new clients and projects. I am not one for a business plan. I have it in my head but putting it on paper seems mundane to me. As long as I can pay for my expenses, and then some, I am fine with whatever work comes my way.
How did you do financially, emotionally, socially? Initially it was tough since the income was inconsistent but over time that has been addressed and now I am pleasantly surprised to have folks get in touch with me through my website or connections – its like all the hard work done in the beginning is reaping rewards. Making the shift from working in a corporate setting to one at home was nice in that I had nowhere to hurry up and beat the traffic first thing in the morning, and I certainly did not have to spend as much on clothes to maintain that professional image. Not having a team to go meet with or chat up was weird but eventually turned out fine. Sometimes it did get lonely and to deal with it, I make sure I have at least 2-3 meetings a week, including events I might cover, and that takes care of getting my fair share of human interaction.
Role played by your family or significant other in this situation? My husband does have his corporate job which helps in a big way especially with things like medical benefits. He has been very supportive in whatever it is I have wanted to pursue.
Important/memorable factors that helped get started? The choice to freelance full-time was made easy by the fact that I had already been doing it part-time before. I also did not have any major loans or mortgages to fulfil so financially this was not a difficult choice to make.
Current work from home profession - Independent communications professional, solopreneur.
What is the average day like? Wake up whenever. Exercise, drink a cup of coffee with the husband and get to work once he leaves. I work on active projects from 10am and even my meetings are usually after that. Anything before that is usually just reading or research. I stop at 2pm for lunch and the rest of the day includes cooking for dinner, any other chores, and lots of marketing and sales in the evening. My meetings are typically 3pm coffee meets if possible. Unless there is something urgent, or the husband is also working on something from home, I put a hard stop to all work by 6pm. I almost always have a networking event or something else to cover in the evenings.
Maintaining a work schedule. I try to give myself an hourly schedule to stick by. I like having a to-do list and striking things off when accomplished. Things don’t always go by that time table but it helps as a good guideline to follow.
Work hours/days - M-F 10am-2pm on active projects, 4pm-6pm on marketing and miscellaneous. I prefer not to work weekends but will do so if necessary.
Biggest challenges and dealing with them? Now that I have steady work coming in, the next step is to see what products I can make of my services that will bring in the money without my having to be actively involved in that project. My thinking hat is on!
Most celebrated moments being 100% work from home? Every time I add a new client, complete a project, get paid – it’s a celebration because it is all my effort – for me, by me and of me.
Liberties/restrictions of being 100% work from home? The liberty is clearly that I am in-charge. I can choose to work on what I want and when I want, even with whom I want. I don’t report to anybody and so I take responsibility for my work. I know what I do will affect me and so I am accountable for my actions here. The restriction, in my case, is that I currently work out of my apartment and on the few days that the husband decides to work from home, and we both have conference calls to take on, one of us, usually me, has to operate from the closet!
What parts of your work do you enjoy the most and which parts do you not enjoy as much? I enjoy the freedom, the people I meet, the types of projects I am getting to do, the exposure and connections. Every once in a while though, I have experienced folks not being particularly receptive of my work considering I am a freelancer and not attached to any big name corporate they know of.
Do you have a support network? Yes/no and why. Yes. Mostly made of professional networks that I am a member of, and some close friends that I can talk to whenever needed. Working as solopreneur can be terribly isolating especially for someone like that is a people person. Having folks that understand me professionally and personally is encouraging.
11. What are your tools/mechanisms to success? (e.g., talking to coach every morning, meditating for an hour, taking an afternoon nap, etc.) Trying to follow my schedule as much as possible. Making sure I get in some exercise and reading time. Saying no to projects that are simply not helping me take my business forward.
12. How are you doing financially now? Better than when I started out! Don’t have to worry about bills being paid.
13. How are you doing socially now? With my support network in place, things are good.
14. How are you doing emotionally now? Have come to terms with working from home by myself.
15. How important is face-to-face networking to your work, how much time do you spend on it, where do you network the most? Very important. I go to all possible events I can, and introduce myself to as many people as possible so should they think of something tomorrow that is in line with what I do then hopefully they will think of me first. Am a member of AIWN and APC. Also MAGS and Ed2010.
16. How important is social media to your work, how much time do you spend on it, where do you spend most of your time doing it? Also important. I don’t spend as much time on it as I like to but whatever little I do always brings about some kind of good results. Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin.
17. How important is marketing to your work, how much time do you spend on it, where do you market the most? My evenings are spent doing marketing if possible, I try to reach out to as many connections as possible and make new ones if I can. Anywhere online that I see an opportunity, I reach out and hope for the best.
18. What is the most successful way you have found clients? Conversely, what method have you tried that did not prove very fruitful in getting clients? Word of mouth has been the best. Social media and my own marketing efforts have been good. Targeted networking helps as well. Method that don’t work include random networking – if you don’t have a reason to be networking then you shouldn’t!
19. Do you find time to indulge in pursuits that are non-professional? If yes, then what are these and when do you indulge in them? If no, then elaborate. Oh yes! Exercise is one thing. Meeting with friends and colleagues is another. Travel, both personal and professional, has been great. I find time to read as well.
20. Your best achievement – THE highlight of your career while being 100% work from home. Being a finalist for the 2012 Atlanta Press Club Excellence in Print Journalism Award. I did not win but felt nice to know my work is good enough to be considered.
21. Your worst failure – THE lowest point you experienced while being 100% work from home. The initial rejections courtesy lack of samples or connections etc. was hard-hitting but once that bridge was crossed, it was alright.
Part D: The Future
1. Do you plan to continue to be 100% work from home? Yes/No and why.
Yes! Kinda hard to go back to a corporate job after you’ve tasted this.
2. What is your game plan for the next year/ five years/ as far along as you are willing to discuss.
Building on my clientele and definitely finding a few products to offer that can contribute to passive income earnings.
3. What would be the most helpful mechanisms to this journey?
Send more clients my way!
4. What are you looking forward to the most?
Every day I am surprised by who reached out to me on email or social media and offers me a new gig. I will take more of that, thank you.
5. What are you not looking forward to as much?
Nothing that comes to mind really. Things are on an upward stream so if this is how it goes, I am happy for the ride.
6. What is your advice to others currently considering 100% work from home?
Do it, you will love it, and learn to live with the satisfaction that your efforts are yours to cherish
7. Do you have specific tools that helped that you would wish to share with others (books, songs, people, quotes, websites, software, etc.)?

A Quick review of the process:
As we mentioned in our first welding article, MIG welding is a process which a power wire electrode is fed continuously into the welding puddle at a controlled constant rate.
The wire is connected to the positive side of a rectified voltage supply (DC current). The workpiece is connected to the negative side of the supply.
When the wire is fed, it comes into contact with the workpiece and an arc is struck. The arc melts the wire and it is deposited onto the workpiece.
The wire, which is fed by the wire feed motor into the weld pool, burning itself off at a rate dependent upon the selected wire feed speed.
The faster the motor speed, the higher the current drawn by the arc. Thus wire feed controls welding current.
To protect the weld puddle from oxidation and impurities during the welding process, a shielding gas flows over and around the weld puddle. Note that poor gas coverage will result in poor welding, excessive gas coverage can cause gas to flow in eddies and reduce the shield effect. Using too much gas is also expensive and wasteful.
MIG welders come in many sizes and shapes and, while the overall process is the same, welders differ widely. The best approach is to start with your welder's instruction manual. It should give you information on set-up for a variety of situations. In the event that your manual doesn't provide adequate information, or you don't have the manual, here are some tips on setting up your welder.
The inside of our welder is fairly simple: the wire spool and wire feed mechanism. The green arrow shows the wire tensioner knob.
The wire used for most automotive applications usually ranges from .023 inch through .030 inch. The lighter .023 inch wire is often used for welding thin materials because it can be used at lower currents (10 to 20 amps) and voltages (120), greatly reducing heat input to the base material.
The wire unrolls from the reel through a guide and over a motorized roller, which feeds wire through another guide and into the cable going to your torch. Lay your torch and cable out on the floor as straight as possible. Mount the wire spool into the machine. Be careful when cutting the end of the wire which is usually bent over to lock it into a hole in the side of the reel. There's winding tension on the wire and if the cut end of the wire gets away from you, it can start unraveling all over the place. Don't cut the end loose until you are ready to feed it.
Make sure that the wire feed mechanism has a good hold on the wire before letting go.
Hold the end of the wire with pliers or vise-grips and carefully sand the cut end until smooth. A sharply-cut end may snag as it travels through the cable. While firmly holding onto the wire, feed it into the guides, over the rollers and into the torch cable. Once you have about 6 inches of wire fed into the cable, plug in and turn on the welder, set the wire-feed speed about a quarter of the way, and pull the trigger. Adjust the wire tensioner until the rollers are feeding the wire then turn it an additional ¼ turn. With the nozzle and contact tube unscrewed from the end of the torch, run the machine until the wire comes out the end. Check the wire-feed mechanism to make sure that the adjustment not only feeds the wire consistently, but also allows the wire to slip. To test for slippage, hold the contact tube against some immovable object and pull the trigger. The wire should slip on the roller. Sometime in your welding experiences it's likely that you could weld the wire to the contact tube. If you then continue to pull the trigger and it can't slip, you could end up with a cable full of tangled wire.
For most of our restoration applications, we will use a mixture of 75% argon and 25% CO2. This mixture is more expensive than plain CO2 but produces much less spatter and consistently better looking welds. This mixture can also be used for welding stainless steel, but a mixture of 90% helium, 7.5% argon and 2.5% CO2 will give you better results because it tolerates a higher heat needed for the normally sluggish weld puddle on stainless.
A basic regulator was supplied with our welder. A better solution would be one that not only showed flow rate of gas, but also indicated how much gas was left. Even better yet is a floating-ball flow meter which is easier to read from a distance.
Handle the shielding gas cylinder with care. Always treat cylinders as if they are full and always positively identify the content of the cylinder. Use only cylinders with names of the gas marked on them. Do not rely on the color of the cylinder to identify gas content. Notify your gas supplier if the cylinder is unmarked. It is illegal and hazardous to deface or alter the name, number or other markings on a gas cylinder. Keep in mind that gas cylinders may be pressurized to more than 2,000 pounds per square inch and the results of being treated carelessly could be deadly. Secure the cylinder in place on your welding cart (or wherever you have it installed) with a chain or strap to keep it from falling over. Take care not to cross thread or strip fit when installing a regulator on a cylinder.
Open the gas regulator using recommendations in the user's manual. If none are available, start at approximately 1-3/8 to 1-1/2 cubic inches per minute or 15 to 25 cubic feet per hour.
Put on all the protective safety equipment described in our first article, and turn on your welder.
Using your wire cutters, trim the wire so that it sticks out beyond the nozzle by no more than 3/8" to 1/2".
Set the voltage setting to the desired number. Lower settings for light sheet metal, higher settings for thicker metal.
Start with a piece of scrap metal that is free of paint and rust. Attach the ground clamp to the scrap. Turn the wire feed to a high setting. With your welding helmet in place, pull the trigger, initiate an arc and start to turn the wire speed down slowly. Listen as you continue to decrease the wire feed speed. The sound will go from a sputter to a high pitched buzz. This buzz indicates that you are at the proper wire speed setting for the thickness of metal you are welding.
You must re-tune the wire speed whenever the heat setting is changed. Always start with a higher wire feed speed setting and work down. This will reduce the number of contact tips that are burned up during the welder tuning procedure. | <urn:uuid:aa734468-0243-4afa-98d1-d3c43f6085ce> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://www.secondchancegarage.com/public/605.cfm | 2023-09-23T16:51:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.938855 | 1,400 |

Spring Assisted Knife vs Automatic Knives
If you live in an area that restricts the use and carry of automatic knives you may want to consider a spring assisted knife. These knives differ from automatic knives in that you use your hand to partially open the blade rather than a button or lever. Anything with a button on the handle is considered an automatic switchblade and is subject to stricter regulations. The mechanism inside the knife is what makes a spring assisted knife a spring assisted knife and not an automatic knife. Despite the difference in the mechanism, the overall deployment of a spring assist knife is very similar to that of an automatic knife.
Most spring assisted knives have a thumb stud so you can partially open the blade before the spring takes over and springs it into locked position. These knives require you to open the blade out (up to 10%) before the spring engages and fires the blade. Spring assisted knives may also have a flipper on the back of the handle that will flip the blade into place. Carrying a spring assist knife is a great choice if you live in a location that is strict on automatic knives.
There are many different variations on the mechanism that makes a spring assist knife work. But typically they will have a spring or tension bar that is designed to spring open the blade into locked position (see diagram below). What makes them different from an automatic knife is there is resistance after the blade is closed that will keep it closed until the resistance is overcome. Once the resistance is overcome – by manually pushing (ie pushing the blade open with your finger) the blade past the resistance point—the spring engages and does the rest of the work opening the knife for you. Spring assisted knives function much in the same way an automatic knife does. However due the different opening mechanism, a spring assisted knife is not subjected to the same strict laws. If you want to learn more about the spring mechanisms of spring assisted knives I highly recommend our Knife Locking Mechanisms: Spring Assisted Knives post.
The quickest and easiest spring assisted knives to open are ones featuring a flipper. This is an extra piece of steel at the back of the blade that can be used to flip the knife into place. You push the flipper past the point of resistance and the spring takes over and fires the blade into place. There are knives that open with thumb studs (a piece of stainless steel on the bottom side of the knife), the Spyderco Opening Hole (literally a hole that allows your thumb to ‘grip’ the blade to open), and flipper (explained above). You can easily get these knives to open as fast or faster than an average automatic knife.
If you’re wanting an automatic knife but live in a state where automatics are illegal, I definitely suggest to get a spring assisted knife instead. Spring assisted knives are available at Bladehq as side opening knives or out-the-front knives. | <urn:uuid:3b9451b0-b30c-451c-a403-e359221216f0> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://www.springassistedknives.com/assistedknife/author/nate/ | 2023-09-23T17:31:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.93079 | 591 |

The world is full of stories, but some are retold more than others. Sure some are forced upon us whether we like it or not, but there are some that we look forward to when shown through different eyes. Seeing Sherlock Holmes or Dracula told differently, while not always done well, keeps those characters alive for the generations to come. I mean I for one would trade five more stories about Holmes than to sit through one more “Transformers” movie. Holmes though is not my favorite retold character, for me that would be King Arthur.
With so many adaptations already having been done, including my favorite “Excalibur” you might ask what else can be done? Well in the hands of Guy Ritchie it seems there is still more to explore in this story. Uther (Eric Bana) is a King who with his brother Vortigern (Jude Law) is man’s last hope against a mage who is hell bent on destroying them. With the help of his magic sword Excalibur, Uther defeats the mage only to be double crossed by his own brother. Vortigern, who you knew was evil because of his name, decides he should be kind and kills Uther and his wife. The problem though is Uther’s son escapes and grows up with no knowledge of his true heritage. That soon changes when Arthur (Charlie Hunnam) comes of age and is forced to try and pull the sword out of the stone, thus revealing who he really is. Arthur you see is the one true King but in order for him to claim the crown, he must defeat his evil uncle, while learning the secret of the sword along the way.
Knowing the story as well as a lot of people do, I did wonder what angle Ritchie would take. The choice he made was to tell the story of Arthur and what it means to become a King. While the story part might be a mystery how it turns out, Ritchie behind the camera is not, as you know you will have some fun in a Guy Ritchie film. The film does have its warts as it makes some choices that are not the best for the material. While those choices are questionable they do look good as they are being made. With Arthur being more of a street thug, the polished edges that are usually associated with King Arthur are gone. What we get instead is someone who lives within his own rules that help him and that the ones he cares about survive. “King Arthur: Legend of the Sword” is a entertaining film much in the same way as Nascar is entertaining. Sure there can be a lot of boring parts and expected left turns, but the wrecks entertain us enough to forget the rest. And its all about getting to the finish line. I am not going to lie; I kind of dug this movie, as Ritchie does just enough to keep me aboard with his familiar sense of style. There have been more than a fair share of failed attempts as this story but in my book “King Arthur: Legend of the Sword” is not one of them. It’s as entertaining as Ritchie can get. | <urn:uuid:ff37a6bc-cc92-4c6b-b454-452e0efb3376> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | http://www.thecinemen.com/2017/05/12/king-arthur-legend-sword/ | 2023-09-23T18:24:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.98436 | 649 |
Action Figure Review: Glimmer from Masters of the Universe Classics by Mattel
For well over a year now I have had no major quality control issues on any MOTUC figures. Mattel has really got that aspect of the line under control, meaning that Glimmer is another sturdy figure with solid articulation. She features: true rocker ankles, hinged ankles, hinged knees, swivel thighs, swivel/hinge hips, a swivel waist, swivel/hinge shoulders, swivel biceps, hinged elbows, swivel wrists, and a true ball jointed head. I love that Glimmer has both the true rocker ankle hinges (like the Star Sisters and Teela) and a swivel waist. You can get her in some truly excellent poses with nothing to hinder her. While she has long hair, it's very well designed so that it doesn't significantly impede her head motion, either. She's really quite spectacular!
As long as you don't mind Glimmer's pastel color pallet (I don't know Lisa Frank, but I imagine this is what she looks like) than you'll be happy with the way she turned out. For the most part, she turned out really nicely with vibrant colors and neat paintwork. I love the almost pearlescent blue that's used for her tights; it has a great shiny look to it. Her face is well done (the eyes are great) and her bright pink hair has a nice light wash that brings out some of the detail and tones the color down a bit. There aren't a ton of fine details, but little elements like the diamonds on her boots, bracers, and belt are neat and clean. The only messy spots I've noticed are the gem on her chest and the metallic blue stripes on her shoulders. They're a bit rough. Oh, and like most of the other Princess of Power girls, Glimmer has painted nails. Hers are purple. Sassy!
Glimmer comes with two accessories: her magical staff and the Moonstone. The Moonstone is an accessory from the Filmation cartoon and is simply a clear plastic orb that can rest in Glimmer's open left hand.
The staff is a bit more detailed; it's based off of the accessory included with the vintage Glimmer figure and has a wonderful sculpt. The staff is sculpted to look like a flower with a stem. The leaves are very detailed and, of course, there is a yellow gem on the headpiece. It's not intended to be a real flower, though, so it's metallic purple to better match Glimmer's outfit. I'm a little disappointed that Glimmer did not include any glow in the dark accessory (glowing in the dark is kind of herthing) nor a shield like the rest of the POP gals. I know the vintage figure didn't come with one, but neither did the vintage Castaspella or Frosta.
I'm really glad to finally have Glimmer. She's not 100% perfect (the whole skirt thing is still weird and her accessories are a bit lacking) but she's definitely not a bad toy. Glimmer is the kind of action figure that I think won't appeal to just anyone, but will definitely appeal to Princess of Power fans and Masters of the Universe fans who know the character from either the vintage toyline or the cartoon. Overall, Glimmer gets a Good and a 1/2 from me. She's an exciting character and an important part of the story for fans who know her, but for your average joe just checking out the crazy designs MOTUC offers, I don't think she really stands out that much. Still, she does look darn fine when paired together with the (finally) growing ranks of the Great Rebellion!
If you need a Glimmer for your Great Rebellion, your only chance now is to head to retailers who have their own subs, as she is sold out on Mattycollector. Big Bad Toy Store still has Glimmer in stock, so pick her up today. Check out the rest of our MOTUC reviews, too!:

512 years in the future.
A Thursday morning.
The luxury space liner the Symphony of the Stars featured three large swimming pools, each with a capacity of roughly 144,000 litres.
The first of these pools was on the upper deck, amidships, between the ship’s bridge at the forecastle and the ship’s largest restaurant – The Brasserie – astern.
The second swimming pool could be found two levels lower, on B Deck, in the ship’s bow, directly adjacent to the second restaurant – Epicurus.
And the third swimming pool was six levels lower than that, nestled in the bow of the ship’s keel. The area forward of this pool featured a delightful, tropically themed poolside bar, and the aft end of the pool shared a wall with the ship’s Cargo Hold.
That is to say, until this morning, it had shared a wall with the Cargo Hold. That wall had now been destroyed by a fierce gunfight between three Symphony crew members and three of the invading pirates. As a result, all the water in that pool had flooded out into the Cargo Hold, and then was sucked into space, through the fresh hull breach in the Cargo Hold, caused by the same fracas.
The Symphony of the Stars also boasted two water slides. The first was the famously terrifying Mad Maelstrom®, which dropped and curved and plunged and corkscrewed 150 metres, from the Upper Deck pool all the way down – through the middle of the ship and the central atrium – to the pool in the keel. The second water slide was called the Pleasant Plunge®. It started at the same level as the Mad Maelstrom®, but promised (according to the ship’s brochure):
a shorter, more leisurely descent past some of the ship’s most captivating views, as it elegantly snakes its way down two levels, before gently entrusting you to the pristine waters of the pool on B Deck.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
The Pleasant Plunge® did not currently have any water running down it.
It did, however, have a fox scrambling up it, pursued by a man crawling up it, not far behind.
It had been three minutes since the murder of Mr Serrano, and Mr Ferrer was now clambering up the water slide, just above B Deck, trying and trying again to find any available foothold – and any available handhold – in the dry, glossy chute. The unfamiliar noise he’d followed here was the sound of Maggie’s claws scrabbling on its smooth, moulded surface.
Despite being completely dry, the water slide was still slippery. Its surface was seamless, and Maggie’s clawed feet made it extremely difficult for her to attain any grip, let alone purchase. Possessing, as he did, arms and legs that were considerably longer than hers, Mr Ferrer was gaining on her.
The fox looked behind her, panicked, and tried to increase her speed. This only made her slip more. As she reached the section of the slide curving around one of the rock climbing walls and past the library, she finally lost her footing altogether and slid quickly down towards her pursuer…
… and straight into Mr Ferrer’s chest. He instinctively clamped both arms around her, and she bit down on his left forearm with all her might. And that might was considerable, given that red foxes such as Maggie have surprisingly powerful jaw pressure for such a small animal. Add to that her considerable annoyance at being caught by Mr Ferrar, her unwillingness to let go of him, and her extremely sharp teeth, and young Mr Ferrar was left in no doubt that his day had very quickly gone from bad to worse.
He lost his grip on the slide.
“YAAAAAAAAAARRRRHHHHHHHH!!!” he screamed in agony, as he and the violently conjoined vixen tumbled and rolled and bounced and grazed their way down, down, and down, gaining ever more momentum, scratches and bruises along the way.
When he’d finally plummeted all the way to the slide’s end, Mr Ferrar wasn’t so much “gently entrusted to the pristine waters of the pool”, as he was roughly slammed into its icy cold depths, with a brutal, shocking force that knocked all the air out of his battered rib cage.
He surfaced, coughing, spluttering, cursing and wheezing, the blood from his arm staining the water around him. The impact had shocked the animal into releasing his left arm, and he quickly grabbed her tail with his right hand, holding her as far away from him as he could. The bedraggled, winded and wounded fox hung upside down, frantically flailing her legs, also coughing, also gasping for air. She furiously attempted to bite her captor again, but couldn’t quite reach.
Mr Ferrar slowly made his way to the edge of the pool, and painfully hauled himself up the ladder and onto its decking, still holding his furry orange prize at arm’s length. He scowled at her.
“You’d better be worth this…”
* * * * * * * * * * * *
It had been three minutes since the murder of Mr Serrano, and Mr Abara was on B Deck, shuffling toward the Engine Room. Inside, Ms Arenson spotted him on one of the screens she was surveying, and opened the door to let him in.
“Ah, there he is – Lover Boy!” mocked Mr Martell, as Mr Abara shambled over the threshold, and the door quickly slid shut behind him. “Manage to locate the girl of your dreams?”
“No,” he moped. “Couldn’t find her anywhere.” He looked miserably to his three crew mates to see them fixing him with looks not of empathy, but of extreme suspicion.
“Exactly where were you looking?” enquired Mr Chamberlain.
“Oh, just around B Deck,” he sighed.
“Anywhere in the vicinity of the restaurant?”
“There she is!” Over Mr Chamberlain’s shoulder, Mr Abara had spotted the screen showing the interior of the Shifting Sands. He saw that the eight remaining pirates were indeed there… and, sitting next to that woman with all the guns, there she was! Mr Abara’s eyes grew wide, his despondency instantly replaced by hope.
“There she is, there she is, there she is!” he repeated dreamily.
Not daring to take his eyes from the screen, he pulled up a chair and sat down in front of it, drinking in the sight of his beloved.
“There she is…” he said once more, in a delighted, reverent whisper.
He was oblivious to the skeptical, wary glares of Mr Chamberlain, Ms Arenson and Mr Martell. As they continued to observe this most peculiar murder suspect, Mr Chamberlain commented under his breath “Well, at least we won’t have any trouble stopping him wandering off…”
* * * * * * * * * * * *
It had been three minutes since the murder of Mr Serrano, and Dr Zivai was now making her way up towards the bridge. She’d decided that the fox hunt was a fool’s errand, and had summoned an elevator to take her up to the Upper Deck. She stood waiting for the elevator to arrive, lost in her thoughts. It seemed to be taking a long time.
Eventually, the lift arrived and its doors slid open in front of her.
It was empty. Dr Zivai stepped inside and specified her destination. The journey up those three levels was quick. The lift arrived on the Upper Deck, its doors slid open, and she exited and strode off in the direction of the ship’s bridge. Behind her, the doors of her elevator slid shut. The doors of the elevator beside it, however, were open.
That elevator still held its ill-fated occupant; the recently deceased Third Officer of the Symphony of the Stars, 25-year-old Ricky Serrano, slumped awkwardly on its floor.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
It had been three minutes since the murder of Mr Serrano. The murder that was clearly captured by the cameras in the elevator. The resulting recording unequivocally revealed the identity of the Symphony’s serial killer, beyond the shadow of a doubt. But none of the crew members up on the bridge or down in Engineering had seen it. They’d all been otherwise engaged, closely watching the exchange between Captain Singh and Salazar Sharp that was unfolding in front of them…
“Mr Sinclair, please patch me through to the Shifting Sands,” Captain Singh had requested. The continuing distraction of – and disturbing thoughts about – the killer in their midst had almost made her forget the pirates.
“Yes Captain,” came the response from her First Officer.
“And make sure the feed’s audio and visual – I’m tired of not looking my adversary in the eye.”
The feed from the Shifting Sands appeared on the bridge’s main screen – it showed all eight pirates sitting at the bar, one of them all but slumped over it, teetering dangerously on her bar stool as she laughed at one of Marie’s jokes.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
At the same time, in the Shifting Sands, the implacable countenance of Captain Diana Singh appeared on one of the larger wallscreens.
“Captain Sharp!” she called.
Salazar left his conversation with Jiang and spun around on his stool to look at the screen.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
And so it was that Captain Diana Singh and Captain Salazar Sharp saw each other face-to-face for the first time.
And she couldn’t help gasping at the sight of him.
It wasn’t his clothes; all the layers of stained, torn shirts, waistcoats, jackets and outer coats that he wore. It wasn’t the various guns, knives and other – more unfamiliar – weapons strapped and tied about his torso, arms and legs. Or the myriad piercings of his ears, the mane of unruly orange hair and its long, feathery pony tail, or even the aggressively insolent look in his eye.
What made Captain Singh gasp was the sight of Salazar’s face. There were eyes – clearly visible, brown – there was a nose, and there was a mouth. But even in all her years in combat, she’d never seen so many scars. Salazar’s face was like the road map of an overcrowded metropolis… designed by engineers who were plastered. Ragged, angry scars bisected thinner gashes which, in turn, intersected old lacerations. Lacerations that were surrounded by nicks, furrows and scratches of various sizes. Pockmarks and craters fought for space with assorted pits, scrapes, slashes and dents. Maybe that fight was responsible for the adjacent notches, blotches and dimples. It seemed to Diana that even his scars had scars. His skin was so ravaged and discoloured by all of these ancient injuries, she couldn’t begin to guess at his original appearance, other than to suppose that under all that scar tissue, his skin had been dark? Maybe olive coloured? He’d obviously been in countless fights, but he’d obviously also had scant access to decent medical attention. And she understood now why his voice was so coarse, so gravelly – someone had once tried to cut his throat. No – from a closer look at his neck, probably more than once. His face told a hundred stories. All of them filthy.
Captain Singh’s face did not surprise Salazar in the slightest. It was a face he knew well, from a distance. The extensive research and detective work he’d done prior to this morning’s raid ensured that he knew much more about her than she realised. This was exactly how he’d expected her to look.
The olive skin, the lustrous black hair greying at the temples, swept back off her forehead and behind her ears, precisely cut to shoulder length. The ramrod straight posture, as it was in every picture he’d seen of her. ‘Thirty five years in the navy will do that,’ he thought. She was taller than average, and slim. Despite the relative looseness of her formal white uniform, Salazar could see that she was lean, muscular and extremely fit – the type of fitness that didn’t come from VR simulations or synthetic muscle and co-ordination enhancement technologies. Captain Singh’s peak physical condition was the type that could only come from regular strenuous, exercise. Another habit born in the military. He face was remarkably unlined for a woman in her mid-sixties. There were a few small wrinkles around her lips, and a couple of noticeable furrows on her brow, but none of the other crow’s feet, creases, or little folds common to women who’d lived for six and a half decades. As he looked upon her, Salazar suddenly realised why that was.
She had no laugh lines.
She was a woman for whom smiles were scarce.
He also now noticed something else the pictures and footage had never conveyed; the weariness in her dark eyes. She looked tired. Exhausted, in fact. Not just exhausted with recent events, but – it seemed to Salazar – exhausted with… everything.
For a moment, he almost felt sorry for her.

In Texas, a concept known as “proportional comparative fault” applies. This means that even if you are a victim in a car accident, you can be found partially at fault. The law allows for the responsibility of an accident to be divided amongst the parties involved based on their percentage of fault. However, if you are found to be more than 50% at fault, you are not entitled to recover any damages.
Conversely, if you are less than 50% at fault, you would be entitled to injuries or damages suffered at the negligence of someone else. In a case like this, it is critical to contact The Woodlands car accident lawyers at Thompson Law as soon as possible after your wreck.
Being placed partially at fault for an accident is also a common insurance tactic so this is another reason to protect yourself with a qualified lawyer on your side. Contact The Woodlands car accident lawyers at Thompson Law and protect your right to compensation by leveraging our experience establishing clear liability for accidents.
In Texas, there’s a specific timeline for filing a claim in the aftermath of a car accident. The statute of limitations, or legal deadline, for personal injury or property damage claims is generally two years from the date of the accident. That means, if you have been involved in a car accident in Texas, you have two years to file a lawsuit against the party at fault.
However, it is crucial to report the accident to your insurance company as soon as possible, typically within a few days. Delaying this process can result in complications with your claim. It is also important to note that the two-year timeline does not apply to your insurance company, and they may have their own deadlines for filing a claim.
This two-year limit also applies to wrongful death lawsuits, but the clock starts on the date of the person’s death, which might be later than the date of the accident. Please remember that while this provides a general guideline, each situation is unique. It is always advisable to consult with our lawyers in The Woodlands to understand the specifics related to your case. Call us today for a FREE CONSULTATION.

If you are injured in any type of accident, your first priority should be to seek immediate medical attention, even if you are not certain that you are injured. Seeking immediate medical treatment does two things: 1) it ensures injuries you sustained are diagnosed and treated; and, 2) it helps eliminate any doubt by the insurance company that your injuries were caused by the accident.
Often, the shock and adrenaline of an accident can mask symptoms of injuries, so making the mistake of skipping a medical examination can have profound consequences. By seeking prompt medical treatment, you protect both your health and your ability to seek compensation for your injuries with the help of your attorney.
If you were in a motor vehicle accident we have also detailed here what to do after a car accident.
A skilled personal injury lawyer is necessary to get full and fair compensation for injuries you sustained in an accident. Most defendants, whether individual drivers or commercial vehicle operators, are covered by liability insurance. Those insurance companies are not obligated to protect or take care of you. Insurance companies exist to protect the defendant (their customer) who caused the wreck.
A personal injury attorney can help you obtain compensation for every category of damages to which you are legally entitled. These damages can include things like: medical bills, lost wages, property damage, pain & suffering, punitive damages, loss of limb, diminished mental function, physical impairment, scarring or disfigurement, emotional or mental trauma, and loss of consortium (in wrongful death claims). Further, you may be entitled to future medical bills, future lost income, future pain and suffering, and other damages in severe injury cases.
The largest factor affecting your claim’s value is the severity or magnitude of your injuries. More severe injuries typically require more medical treatment. So it is essential to have all your injuries documented properly by seeking immediate treatment with doctors or hospitals, and continuing under the care and direction of your doctors as long as necessary to heal. Without prompt and consistent medical treatment and documentation, an injury claim becomes very difficult to pursue, let alone win.
Of course, other factors an also have an impact, and each and every case is different. Were you injured in a commercial vehicle wreck or truck wreck that totaled your car, or was it a fender bender that did very little damage? Was the other driver intoxicated or drunk, or speeding? A multitude of factors may play into your claim’s overall likely value. An experienced personal injury lawyer will be able to visit with you and talk to you more specifically about factors which may affect your particular claim.
In Texas, you usually have two (2) years from the date of incident to file a personal injury claim before it is barred by the statute of limitations. There are exceptions to this 2-year time limit in Texas, for minors and others. Further, other states have different time limits, and the limit that applies is typically for the state in which the accident occurred.
The safest course of action for someone injured in a car wreck, truck wreck, slip and fall, or any other type of accident is to consult with a personal injury attorney. This will help ensure that you do not miss the applicable limitations period. Moreover, it will ensure the right investigations are conducted, and the proper steps are taken to preserve the evidence, photos, witness statements, and records needed to successfully pursue your claim.
If you are injured in a hit-and-run wreck (and are unable to locate the driver) or are hurt in a collision where the other driver does not have insurance, you are not necessarily out of options in terms of financial recovery. You may still be able to recover for your personal injuries if your own policy has Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage or Personal Injury Protection (PIP). It’s a good idea to contact your insurance company to confirm what types of coverage you have on your policy before an accident, but if you have been hit be sure to ask these questions before finalizing your claim request. Even if you do not have UM or PIP, the attorneys and investigators at Thompson Law can work to track down the other driver in a hit-and-run accident. To do this, we rely on witnesses who may have captured a photo of the car or license plate and/or available surveillance camera footage that might have captured the wreck.
Typical damages you can recover in a personal injury claim include: medical bills, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and in some cases even punitive damages. In severe injury cases, other damages may be recoverable, such as: future medical bills, future lost income, future pain and suffering, loss of body member or mental function, physical impairment, disfigurement, emotional or mental trauma, and loss of consortium (in wrongful death claims).
Uninsured Motorist (UM) Coverage can help save the day if you are hit by an uninsured driver or if you are the victim in a hit-and-run collision. In short, UM coverage is an add-on coverage that drivers can add to their auto insurance policies that will protect them in the event that they are in an auto accident with a driver who either does not have insurance or cannot be located. You can contact your insurance provider to confirm whether your policy includes UM. If you do not have this coverage, the personal injury attorneys at Thompson Law recommend that you consider adding UM to your auto insurance policy today.
Knowing how comparative negligence works is vital if you live in a state that uses it. In simple terms, comparative negligence implies both drivers can share fault for an accident, but one driver can be more at fault than the other. For example, you are texting while driving when another driver runs a stop sign and hits your car.
A jury finds that the driver who ran the stop sign is 80 percent at fault, but they believe you would have had a better chance of avoiding the accident if you were not texting at the time. They find you 20 percent at fault. You can only collect enough compensation to cover the other driver’s fault. In this case, you would get $8,000 if the jury thinks your case is worth $10,000.
Having the police respond to the accident scene is of paramount importance. Make sure that YOU call them and insist that they come and investigate the accident. When the police arrive, they will separate the drivers and witnesses from one another and take statements from everyone involved. Be cooperative, detailed, and firm in describing the accident. The investigating officer will usually determine fault based upon these statements, and it is essential that your version of the events is heard and believed. If you think that you may be injured, make that clear to the officer. If an ambulance or other medical professionals arrive on scene, get checked out. If not, make plans to visit an emergency room or doctor soon after you leave the scene. Before you do leave for this care, the officer will provide you with a report number and their contact information. Make sure this information is safely saved, as it will be very important in any auto accident injury claim you may have.
Call an attorney. Your first instinct might be to call your insurance company, but it’s best to seek legal council first so you don’t accidentally admit guilt or take responsibility for the accident. In many cases your attorney will call the insurance company for you to prevent that from happening.
Absolutely not. It’s important to leave the investigation to the professionals. They know exactly how to work a case to determine all of the facts and details.
In insurance terms, “totaled” or a “total loss” means that the cost to repair your vehicle to its pre-accident condition is more than the vehicle is worth. Each insurance company has a different threshold for determining if a vehicle is totaled, but generally, if it’s close, you want the insurance company to “total” your car. Following the determination that your car is a total loss, the insurance company will provide you with their assessment of the value of your car. An experienced auto accident attorney should review this estimate to make sure that you are truly receiving fair market value for your loss. You absolutely have the right to challenge their assessment, and a skilled attorney knows the best way to do so to maximize your recovery.
Typically, yes. If a family member is seriously injured or killed in an accident, or if the injured party is a minor child, then it may be appropriate under the law for a parent, spouse, relative, or legal guardian to file a claim or lawsuit on behalf of the injured or deceased party. These types of claims are complex, and usually depend on the type of relationship involved, as well as the individual facts and circumstances of the injury. Calling the experienced personal injury attorneys at Thompson Law is step one to explore filing a legal claim on behalf of your loved one.
Even if you are partially to blame for a car accident, you may be able to recover some of your damages from the other party. Under Texas’s proportionate responsibility system (also known as comparative negligence), unless you as the claimant/plaintiff are determined more than 51% at fault, you may recover legal damages that are reduced by the percentage you are determined at fault. For example, if you are determined to be 30% at fault, you can recover 70% of your damages from the other responsible party (you can’t recover the other 30% because that was the amount of liability that was determined to lie with you). The personal injury attorneys at Thompson Law can help you navigate this proportionate responsibility system – so reach out online or call anytime for a free consultation.

Being in a wreck, especially on the highway, can be a terrifying experience. Remember these 6 steps to make sure you are safe and to help preserve your legal case right from the start:
Yes! Passengers in auto accidents are entitled to make claims for their damages and injuries too. As a negligence-free passenger, who you make a claim against (one or both drivers and their insurance companies), and what coverages are available (third-party liability, first-party coverages, and/or personal injury protection), depends on the specific facts and circumstances of the car wreck. Injured passengers should call the personal injury attorneys at Thompson Law to assist in navigating these complex issues so that they may receive the fair compensation they deserve.
Under Texas law, “bicycles are entitled to all rights of the road that apply to a motor vehicle, including access.” Unfortunately, drivers often don’t respect the rights of cyclists, and bike accidents are increasingly common, causing severe injuries to the cyclist.
First, stay at the scene. As soon as it is safe, assess the situation and call 9-1-1 to report the incident.
Second, when help arrives, receive emergency medical attention. Get “checked out” even if you think you are okay—the trauma and shock of the collision can cause your body to block out pain and injury, and internal injuries often produce non-specific symptoms. Follow the medical advice of the emergency response team.
Third, with assistance from the police, exchange and obtain information, such as insurance information as well as the names, addresses, and phone numbers of all witnesses, passengers, and drivers. DO NOT discuss the facts and circumstances of the bike accident with anyone other than the investigating officer.
Fourth, document the scene. Make notes on paper or using your cell phone about the time of day; weather conditions; road or traffic conditions; lighting; location of the vehicles and involved parties; and any relevant road signs, traffic control devices (lights, stop signs, yield signs) etc. Also, make sure to get photographs of your bike, the driver’s car, and the scene.
Last, a lawyer to discuss your rights. The experienced personal injury attorneys at Thompson Law will help you investigate all applicable insurance coverages and fight to get the compensation to which you are entitled.
An insurance company will not pay medical expenses or other damages as they come due; rather, after they have accepted liability, the insurance company will make a one-time, lump-sum final payment only at the end of your case. Dealing with medical expenses, and obtaining the proper medical care, after an accident can be tricky. But it does not have to be! Call the personal injury attorneys at Thompson Law, who can explain how to deal with the “day-of” hospital bills, how to continue to receive the care you need, and ultimately how to recover an appropriate settlement that takes care of your bills from the incident as well as fair and just compensation for you.
Let’s be honest: this isn’t a legal show on TV and your case will not settle in the next hour – or even tomorrow. The true answer is: it depends. We find that most cases settle within 7-10 months from date of incident; but the timeframe in your case could be shorter or longer depending on: the facts and circumstances of the accident; the length of time it takes you to complete medical treatment; and the character of the insurance company, or companies, involved in your case. In the event that your case cannot settle pre-litigation and it becomes necessary to file a lawsuit, the litigation process alone can take 1 to 2 years due to the court system and legal process necessary to prepare for trial. But because so much of the timeline depends on the facts and circumstances of your unique case, call Thompson Law today to discuss the personal injury claims process.

Prices of diesel plus illuminating paraffin will go up.
The Automobile Association (AA) has predicated a mixed fuel price outlook for June with drivers of petrol vehicles set to reap a tiny reward.
Commenting on the first unaudited data report tabled by the Central Energy Fund on Monday, the AA said it expects the price of petrol to drop by a scant one cent per litre with diesel and illuminating paraffin going the other way with predicted upticks of 20 and 25 cents respectively.
“After several weeks of stability, international oil prices have started to climb again, with a slight peak in the first week of May before a modest pullback. Although there is still a re-balancing of global supply and demand taking place in oil markets, the current variations are starting to more closely resemble the picture we saw before the Covid-19 pandemic,” the association said.
“This suggests that normal market forces are increasingly gaining the upper hand over last year’s disruptive gluts which led to astonishing sub-zero prices for West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil.”
It also added: “Although the daily exchange rate has been wildly variable, the average rate has seen the local currency gain around 20 cents against the US dollar since the start of May. This means a net gain of around 11 cents against the dollar.
“The oil-versus-Rand see-saw will likely continue through the rest of May, and the month-end picture may be somewhat different to what’s currently being seen.” | <urn:uuid:48f8d1fb-e70a-43b1-9174-32c93124078a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://1covidnews.com/2021/05/17/tiny-june-fuel-price-decrease-to-favour-only-petrol/ | 2023-09-23T18:33:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.95698 | 326 |

One of the City of Chicago’s favorite scams is the Winter Parking Ban which kicks off every year on December 1st at 3AM. The posted signs are deliberately misleading in order to trap people in this extortion racket that steals thousands of cars every year and puts countless people into debt.
The tricky part about the sign that people often don’t read correctly is the “OR” which is purposefully confusing. People tend to get the impression by reading a sign that says “WHEN SNOW IS OVER 2 INCHES” that if there is under 2 inches of snow, or no snow at all, then the city won’t tow your car. Seems logical, but unfortunately, to many people’s utter dismay, this is not the case.
See what the sign really means is that there is “NO PARKING 3AM-7AM DEC 1 – APR 1″…at all, period. See they left off the period and give drivers the impression that if there isn’t any snow it’s okay to park. Because, if there isn’t any snow…why would you tow the car? Well the reality is the snow is irrelevant to the city’s predatory extortion racket and they will tow your car even if it is 70 degrees outside each and every night from December 1st until April 1st.
Many people find out the hard way when they return to their parking spot to discover that their car has been stolen, towed off to the impound lot, where they are slapped with a $230 ticket, $35 per day lot charge, and have to pay off all their debt before they can get their car back. For people who are broke this is devastating because they might not be able to afford to get their car back for weeks or months and get charged TENS OF THOUSANDS of dollars in fees.
The worse part is that the winter parking ban is actually run by the City of Chicago at a loss and the city incurs a debt by enforcing the ban. To add further insult to injury these crooks make even more money by selling off the stolen vehicles at auction right out in the open. Theft has been officially legalized in Chicago. By the time some people can afford to buy back their car from these extortionists it’s already been sold off at auction and yet they still get stuck with thousands of dollars for tickets and impound fees.

Gain insights into methodologies and advancements.
Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, is a process that creates objects by depositing materials layer by layer based on a digital model. Unlike traditional manufacturing, which often involves removing material to achieve the desired shape, additive manufacturing adds material, offering unparalleled design freedom. This technology has been a game-changer in various sectors, and dentistry is no exception. The ability to customize and produce intricate designs rapidly has made it an invaluable tool in modern dental labs.
Evolution of Additive Manufacturing in Dentistry
The dental industry has always been at the forefront of technological innovation. From the early days of manually crafted dental prosthetics to the current era of digital dentistry, the journey has been transformative. The introduction of 3D printing in dentistry marked a significant milestone. Initially, dental professionals were skeptical about the precision and reliability of 3D printed dental products. However, as the technology matured, it became evident that 3D printing could offer benefits that traditional methods couldn’t match. Today, from small dental clinics to large dental labs, additive manufacturing has become an integral part of the dental prosthetics creation process.
Precision & Customization:
One of the standout benefits of 3D printing is the level of precision it offers. Dental labs can produce dental appliances tailored to individual patient scans, ensuring unparalleled fit and comfort. This level of customization was challenging to achieve with traditional methods.
The digital nature of 3D printing means that once a design is finalized, multiple units can be printed simultaneously, reducing the turnaround time significantly. This efficiency translates to faster delivery times and increased patient satisfaction.
The initial investment in a 3D printer might seem substantial, but the long-term benefits are undeniable. There’s a significant reduction in material wastage, and the need for manual labor decreases, leading to substantial savings in the long run.
The design freedom that 3D printing offers means dental labs can innovate and offer solutions that were previously considered too complex or impossible.
The dental implant process requires a high degree of precision. With 3D printing, custom implants and crowns can be produced that fit seamlessly with the patient’s existing teeth structure. This not only ensures comfort but also reduces the chances of complications.
The era of one-size-fits-all is long gone. Today, orthodontic devices like clear aligners are custom-made for each patient. 3D printing allows for the production of these aligners tailored to the patient’s dental structure, ensuring effective treatment and comfort.
The challenge with dentures has always been ensuring a perfect fit and comfort. With 3D printing, dental labs can produce full or partial dentures designed specifically for the patient, ensuring comfort and aesthetics.
Dental surgeries require precision. 3D printed surgical guides assist dental professionals during surgeries, ensuring accuracy and reducing the chances of complications.
The choice of material is crucial in dental applications. The material needs to be biocompatible, durable, and suitable for the intended application.
The future of additive manufacturing in dental labs looks promising. With continuous advancements in 3D printing technology and materials science, the possibilities are endless. Integration of technologies like AI and digital scanning will further enhance the precision and efficiency of the 3D printing process. As materials evolve, we can expect dental products that are not only functional but also mimic the aesthetics of natural teeth closely.
The dental industry is undergoing a transformation, with 3D printing playing a pivotal role. For dental labs looking to stay ahead of the curve, embracing this technology is not just beneficial—it’s essential. The advantages of speed, precision, and cost-effectiveness are hard to ignore. As we look to the future, it’s clear that additive manufacturing will be at the heart of dental innovation.

Angela Chen in The Verge:
In 2007, The New York Times published an op-ed titled “This is Your Brain on Politics.” The authors imaged the brains of swing voters and, using that information, interpreted what the voters were feeling about presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
“As I read this piece,” writes Russell Poldrack, “my blood began to boil.” Poldrack is a neuroscientist at Stanford University and the author of The New Mind Readers: What Neuroimaging Can and Cannot Reveal about Our Thoughts (out now from Princeton University Press). His research focuses on what we can learn from brain imagining techniques such as fMRI, which measures blood activity in the brain as a proxy for brain activity. And one of the clearest conclusions, he writes, is that activity in a particular brain region doesn’t actually tell us what the person is experiencing.
The Verge spoke to Poldrack about the limits and possibilities of fMRI, the fallacies that people commit in interpreting its results, and the limits of its widespread use. This interview has been lightly edited for clarity. | <urn:uuid:50e322eb-216e-4384-8e89-96651833d007> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://3quarksdaily.com/3quarksdaily/2018/10/a-neuroscientist-explains-the-limits-and-possibilities-of-using-technology-to-read-our-thoughts.html | 2023-09-23T18:44:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.946247 | 241 |

The Experience of a Lifetime!
Perhaps we owe it to the ancient Greeks and their Festival of Dionysus, which ushered in ‘spring break’ as it were, a time to celebrate the arrival of spring, fertility, and of course great wine. Fast forwarding to the mid-1930s, Florida’s temperate climate gave birth to an idea that American college swim coaches latched on to in droves—winter swim training was much better in Florida than the frigid Northeast! And since swimming can’t be done 24-hours a day, those athletes figured out that Florida was also a swell place to party, and relax! And every decade since, the young, old, and every age in between have been flocking to the sunny, paradisiacal, white-sand beaches of Florida’s Gulf Coast, from sunny Sarasota to the Keys and beyond.
But you don’t have to be a seasonal ‘spring-breaker’ to enjoy all Florida has to offer because you’re a senior adult who’s earned the right to do what you please, when you please, and as such, Florida is ready to welcome you 365 days per year!
Senior living should be done right, after all, you’ve put in the work and earned your ticket. You’ve spent decades giving to others, so you’ve earned that ticket to paradise, and that’s… senior living done right—the experience of a lifetime in sunny Sarasota!
The benefits of living in Sarasota Florida for seniors are many. So, let’s dig into some of the best.
Picture Postcard Views… and the Weather!
There’s something about a white-sandy beach, the sound of rolling waves, pinkish purple skies, and that salty smell of the water as it shuffles over your toes on an evening walk down the coastline. It’s an undeniably joyous experience for nearly everyone. Perhaps even old Ebenezer Scrooge himself might’ve cracked a smile if the Sarasota beach sun hit him just right while a cool, coastal breeze graced his face.
So, when we talk about the benefits of living in Florida for seniors, the conversation has to begin with that beautiful coastline, the kiss of the gulf, beaches where troubles seem to melt away. And Sarasota has some of the best. In fact, Sarasota’s own, Siesta Key, was recently ranked #1 in U.S. News & World Report’s “Best Beaches in Florida for 2023” report featured in their “Best Vacations Rankings.” The world-famous Siesta Beach offers Sarasota seniors 8 unspoiled miles of some of the whitest sand beaches on Earth paired with clear waters that make it perfect for a stroll, a run, or just relaxing and enjoying the wondrous beauty of nature’s perfection. It is, like many of Sarasota’s beaches, a postcard view in the truest sense, indeed.
And no perfect beach experience is complete without perfect weather. Like a fine wine compliments a great fillet, Sarasota’s pleasant, year-round weather is superbly matched with its celebrated beaches. Winters in Sarasota are mild, with average lows dropping to around 53 degrees in January, the coldest month, and January highs hitting the low 70s. Summer temperatures cap around 88 degrees, which makes most of the year—quite enjoyable!
Experience the Cultural Scene & an Abundance of Outdoor Fun!
Senior living in Sarasota is done right! When you choose to live here, and take advantage of the prime perks of Sarasota’s premier senior living residence, 81 Oaks, you’ll always be ‘in-the-know’ about what’s happening in the community at large. Because at 81 Oaks, we understand that your senior years should be your best years, and that’s why we make it a priority to keep residents up-to-date on everything Sarasota has to offer, whether its events, cultural opportunities, or activities for health and wellness.
Culture, Sarasota’s Got It!
One of the many benefits of living in Florida for seniors is arts and culture. From the rich architectural splendor of Miami to central Florida’s outstanding museums, seemingly all of Florida is imbued with spectacular cultural experiences of note. But Sarasota is perhaps the most culturally-alive city of all in the great Sunshine State.
See a popular musical at the renowned Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall. Dress up for a night at the Sarasota Opera House. Enjoy one of the many great shows at Sarasota’s museums and private galleries. The arts options are limitless. With regular concerts, live theatre, the opera, ballet, museums and galleries to take in till your heart’s content, Sarasota truly puts the ‘art’ in heart!
Get Outdoors and Get Active!
Walk it. Run it. Or Take Your Own Sweet Time.
With 8 miles of stunning, white-sand beaches, some obvious activities require nothing but a willingness to put one foot in front of the other. Walking on the beach, no matter how fast or slow you do it, is a heart-healthy activity for everyone, especially seniors. So, whether you’re a power walker, runner, or a take-your-timer, it doesn’t matter because the health benefits are built in. Just 30 minutes a day, and you’ll be on your way to a lean, healthy senior life.
It’s Better To Get There by Boat!
Not a runner? Walking seems a bore? No problem, because in Sarasota your kayaking opportunities are plentiful. And Sarasota’s Lido Key is a popular destination for exploring the mangroves. View Florida’s diverse wildlife from a comfortable seat in your kayak, and with luck you’ll catch sight of dolphins, rays, manatees, and an assortment of Florida’s exotic birds. And just because you’re sitting down, doesn’t mean you’re not getting healthy while you do it, because paddling offers a great core workout.
Your Health Is Top Priority
Senior living in Sarasota can be a rewarding experience. In the journey of life, youth has its moments; your family years are where your heart remains; but your senior years are a time to explore, to chase dreams, and get the most out of life with family and friends. So, staying healthy is a top priority.
Sunshine has been linked to a range of health benefits, some of which are particularly important for seniors. It can improve sleep patterns, mental health, cognition all while supporting bone health, Vitamin D production and can even lower blood pressure. The Sarasota area offers year-round sunshine which can help with seasonal depression as well. So, slather on that sunscreen, stay hydrated, and start reaping the benefits.
At 81 Oaks, our restaurant-style dining features chef-prepared healthy meals and we continually evaluate our physical training programs (featuring the Osprey Fitness Center) and wellness programs to ensure that they’re the best offerings available. We pride ourselves on our ‘always exciting, always expanding’ fitness and nutrition opportunities for residents, because your good health is always on our mind.
And 81 Oaks offers coordination of various ancillary and medical services by our expert wellness director, personalized fitness plans, medication management, as well as home health providers on-site.
Additionally, Sarasota is a prime destination for quality healthcare featuring top-level hospitals, clinics, and urgent care centers for emergencies, as well as a handful of highly-respected medical facilities such as Sarasota Memorial Hospital (“nationally ranked” and “high performing”—U.S. News & World Report), HCA Florida Sarasota Doctors Hospital (“high performing”—U.S. News & World Report), and several other respected hospitals just a short drive away.
The Decision is Sarasota!
Senior living in Sarasota offers beauty, culture, great medical establishments, and healthy outdoor activities for year-round fun, plus an abundance of social activities. Of course, living in paradise is not for everyone, some like to be cold, enjoy slipping on frozen sidewalks, and paying exorbitant heating bills. But most of us would choose paradise in the Gulf Coast of Florida if we could. And you can. | <urn:uuid:0695ac02-e553-4080-82a7-3cf30573a697> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://81oaks.com/benefits-of-living-in-florida-for-seniors/ | 2023-09-23T16:39:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.934453 | 1,785 |

Mike Myers starred alongside Beyoncé in 2002’s Austin Powers in Goldmember, the third installment in the Austin Powers film series. While Beyoncé was a handful of years away from becoming the icon she is today, Myers accomplished a unique feat with the singer: He introduced her to Led Zeppelin.
Myers recalls the moment in a video feature with Vanity Fair where he looks back on some of his most memorable characters.
“Beyoncé was a dream,” said Myers. “She was the loveliest person in the world and just knocked it out of the park. She would always listen to music and she said to me, ‘Mike, what are you listening to right now?’ And I said, “Oh, I’m just listening to Led Zeppelin at the moment.’ And she said, ‘I think I’ll listen to that Led Zeppelin.’ She had never heard of it. She was so young, and the crew was all, ‘Awww!'”
Myers continued, “And then the next day, she was doing this [miming holding onto headphones], and I said, ‘What are you listening to?’ She went, ‘Led Zeppelin! They’re great!'”
Interestingly enough, Beyoncé would go on to sample Led Zeppelin’s “When the Levee Breaks” on “Don’t Hurt Yourself,” a track featuring Jack White from her acclaimed 2016 album Lemonade. | <urn:uuid:7e1dc288-320c-441b-8aa5-d8a56325f6ef> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://963kklz.com/2022/05/27/how-mike-myers-introduced-beyonce-to-led-zeppelin/ | 2023-09-23T17:55:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.970614 | 327 |

Life can be very unpredictable at times. You hired movers and got your whole team and their things ready, but something happens and you won’t be able to move. Things happen, and plans don’t get fulfilled. So, what happens if I need to cancel my office move? A residential move can easily be postponed or canceled. But with an office move, things get complicated. You have employees, a million items, and clients. You were expecting to move to your new premises with the help of moving companies DC area, so you have two choices now: postpone or cancel altogether. Whatever you choose, you can expect some consequences.
What can I expect if I cancel my office move?
If I cancel my office move, will my team be disappointed? It depends. Moving is always a big change. People spend a good part of their days working with you, so it will impact their lives. The ones that looked forward to a change will be disappointed, for sure. A lot of effort and concentration was put into preparing, and it got canceled. The ones that didn’t look forward to moving might celebrate. However you feel about it, just make sure to inform some local movers DC on time, and try to keep your team happy.
Will there be any cancelation fees?
Most contracts’ abrupt and early termination require the customer to pay a cancelation fee. The amount of money greatly depends on the industry and the company itself. When some office movers DC are in question, it all depends on the movers you hired. Every company works on its terms, but some general rules are listed below.
- Don’t wait until the day of the move, or you could end up paying up to 100% of the total price. The rule is – the more I wait, the higher the costs will be if I cancel my office move
- If you inform your movers of the change 24 before, you will pay around 75% of the full price
- 60% of the price will be expected of you to pay if you inform your movers less than 5 days before
- In cases that you change your mind 5-10 days prior, 30% of the full price will be required
- Calling more than 10 days prior will almost certainly let you get away without paying anything
In case I decide to cancel my office move, what should I do about my clients?
Since you have informed your clients of your move, they will expect to find you at your new location. Now that you have changed plans, you also need to inform your clients about this. Some experienced Washington DC movers won’t take it personally, but some clients might. Apologize for the inconvenience and try to stay professional. Also, don’t forget to inform them of your future moving-related decision, especially if they have been your clients for a long time.
You are likely thinking if I cancel my office move now, can I go back to hiring the same mover again? Reputable movers have seen quite a bit, and know how to handle the unexpected. Things happen sometimes outside of our control, and they understand it. No matter if you ended up paying a cancelation fee or not, you can likely give another chance to movers to move your office next time. We wish you good luck, and no unexpected things happening! | <urn:uuid:d3999046-d9e0-43b3-840c-b6491638a565> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://a2bmovingandstorage.com/what-happens-if-i-need-to-cancel-my-office-move/ | 2023-09-23T16:49:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.95308 | 696 |

A new teaser for the upcoming Disney+ original limited series "The Santa Clauses" has arrived!
The first-look trailer was revealed at D23 Expo at the Anaheim Convention Center on Saturday.
The upcoming series, premiering Nov. 16 on Disney+, brings back beloved characters from the beloved film series, including Tim Allen as Scott Calvin (aka Santa Claus) and Elizabeth Mitchell as Carol Calvin (aka Mrs. Claus).
Disney+ Day 2022: 1 month for $1.99
Celebrate and save on a month of streaming. Limited time offer of one month for $1.99 and then $7.99/month. Sign-up and start streaming today with Disney+.
The series also stars Elizabeth Allen-Dick, Devin Bright, Austin Kane, Matilda Lawler, Rupali Redd and Kal Penn.
In the new series, Scott Calvin is on the brink of his 65th birthday and realizes he can't be Santa forever, according to an announcement from Disney about the film.
"He's suddenly starting to lose his Santa magic; and, more importantly, he's got a family who could benefit from a life in the normal world, especially his two kids who have grown up at the North Pole," a press release detailed. "With a lot of elves, children and family to please, Scott sets out to find a suitable replacement Santa while preparing his family for a new adventure in a life south of the pole."
Allen, who is known for his roles in many ABC and Disney projects, including "Home Improvement," "Toy Story" and "Jungle 2 Jungle," won a People's Choice Award for his portrayal as Scott Calvin in the first "The Santa Clause" movie.
Allen reprised the role in two sequels: "The Santa Clause 2" in 2002 and "The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause" in 2006.

Whilst on holiday in South Africa recently, our CEO Sue Campbell-Ross, was asked to talk to a group of teachers and parents in a rural school in KwaZulu Natal about autism and ways to support students with autism, in school and at home.
It came about with Lynette Heron, owner of a local business, Spionkop Lodge who supports several rural schools through funds raised at the lodge from visitors’ donations. There are currently few support resources available on autism for both parents and teachers. Lynette who taught Sue (such a small world) approached Sue to share her extensive knowledge and insights.
The information event was held at Winterton Primary School and though it was done at short notice, it was very well received with 75 people in attendance with some travelling long distances to attend.
This is what Janine Muirhead, the principal had to say, “Our staff and the parents of the schoolkids are extremely grateful for the talk. There is a greater level of confidence to use the insights and the strategies they were able to learn from Sue.”
Sue is equally inspired and now hopes to continue and extend this oversea support through online sessions with her and her Able2 specialist staff. Watch this space!!!
When it comes to communities, even overseas one, we can also do more!

Crowdfunding is not intuitive to most of us, even here at MedStartr there has been much to learn. Our first campaigns took over 400 views to get a single backer. Now we average 50 and sometimes as few as 20 explaining why our Optimized campaigns are about 9 times more likely to succeed than your average campaign on any other site. Even DIY campaigns are 5 times more likely to succeed on MedStartr and this is due to all the limited help we provide everyone and the crowd that regularly visits the site. We think all great campaigns in healthcare innovation are Too Important to Fail, in our opinion, so we strongly encourage everyone to at least scan the below posts. Time to go to MedStartr School. Chances are you did great in Med School or Grad school to get here. This stuff is easy and you can learn very quickly right here. If you have questions, always be welcome to call or contact us.

Rae Trujillo received her BA from California State University Hayward in 1978 with an emphasis in sculpture. She has always dabbled in a variety of art forms, but fell in love with Books Arts in 2004. Making books satisfies her interest in story telling and allows her to investigate structures and materials. She mingles many disciplines into one art form. She is challenged to create books that people can fall into and understand. | <urn:uuid:3adb0cd8-a236-4ee1-84eb-4ccbe16a9bb4> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://abramsclaghornshop.com/collections/raes-of-sun | 2023-09-23T19:05:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.972665 | 85 |
Background: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) caused by loss of function mutation in the NF1 gene; leads to the hyperactivation of RAS and its downstream mediators and contributes to tumour formation. The main manifestations of NF1 are café au lait macule, axillary and/or inguinal freckling. Neurofibroma plexiform is specific for NF1 and identified on the face and trunk. Urogenital presentation is infrequent in the penis. Identification of this lesion is essential because it carries a risk of malignancy in about 5%–10% of patients.
Case: We present a five-year-old boy who presented to us with progressive swelling of the penis since he was a newborn. He had no swelling in other parts of the body, without Urinary dysfunction and no history of neurological symptoms. Genitourinary examination revealed a penis length of 9 cm (greater than 2 SD for age) and a girth of 10 cm at the base level. Small lentigines at the tip and base of the penis. Unpigmented scrotum and testicular volume less than 3 ml. After a dermatological evaluation, small café-au-lait spots observed on the right hip and posterior side of the left leg. The sister presented a hypopigmented spot on the hip skin and a café-au-lait spot on the right leg, and the father with reddish spots in the popliteal with a lymphatic appearance. A genital ultrasound showed lesions compatible with plexiform neurofibroma, and his hormonal profile, such as androstenedione, total testosterone, DHEA-S, 17-OHP and LH were within normal ranges. INVITAE study for RASopathies Comprehensive Panel and EPHB4 gene reported negative.
Conclusion: The genetic testing of NF1 would help to clarify the diagnostic process; however, this can be difficult for several reasons like phenotypes caused by mosaicism with mutations after fertilization; and are classified as segmental, generalized, or gonadal. The segmental type causes regions with pigmentary alterations, tumour growths, or both, limited to one or more regions of the body, precisely the diagnosis that we consider corresponds to our patient, even though genetic study (invitae) is reported as negative. It is essential to identify the diagnosis due to the increased risk of malignancy.

The world of finance is constantly developing, with new technologies and trends reshaping the industry at a breakneck pace. In recent years, one of the most prominent developments has been the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI). It is a powerful tool that enables machines to learn from data, identify patterns, and make decisions based on that data.
In finance, AI is revolutionizing the industry, offering tremendous benefits for banks, investment firms, and financial institutions. AI in Finance has made the historical and traditional time-consuming work of analyzing financial reports easy. With the help of AI one can accelerate the calculation of complex data as well as forecast the upcoming trends in the market.
To that end, we are going to explore in this blog the growing emergence of AI in the financial world. In addition, we’ll also look at how AI can help in fraud detection and risk management, and how it will revolutionize the future of finance
AI in Finance: How are machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing (NLP) utilized in finance?
Today the world is revolving around AI technology for growing in the dynamically changing market trends. Similarly, for the finance sector, the technics like machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing are playing a significant role. But do you know how these technologies are helping in financing?
Machine Learning in finance is an AI technology that helps to identify the recent situation of the market as well as functions as an advisory to predict future scenarios for investors. It is an algorithm that works to analyze the data and detect the risk in automated trading.
However, on the part of deep learning, it is the art of operating computer networks to function according to human brains. Through deep learning, the focus on theoretical knowledge has increased in the finance industry. Therefore, with deep learning, you can manage the risk, identify the frauds and forecast the prices.
Natural language processing (NLP) is a system to convert the manual task with speed up and less effort works. NLP in the finance sector is an AI vendor that provides useful insights for financial investments and transactions. It creates a portfolio for the financial institutions for advising as well as protecting them from that future risks and frauds.
How does AI help in fraud detection and risk management in financial services?
In the current market scenario, the increasing use of online transaction systems has increased the chances of financial fraud. Hence, companies have recently started using various AI algorithms to protect their data and prevent them from malpractices. AI is an algorithm trained with past data to provide risk rules that can be used for restricting certain users or practices.
Moreover, when transactions are made AI identifies whether those transactions fulfill the criteria or not. It also assigns a fraud score to the translations based on the historical records and risk frameworks set by the financial institutions.
In the financial sector, AI works as a fraud prevention and risk management. With the help of AI tools companies can track consumer behavior, location, purchasing habits, and transaction records. Therefore, they can easily find out the unusual activities performed by the users. It analysis the risk management task effectively and work efficiently on various financial transactions in real-time.
AI is a tool that assists financial institutions in their daily operations and helps them improve their portfolio. This indicates that it plays a significant role in the industry by minimizing its losses and upgrading fraud detection as well as the risk management system.
What is the use of chatbots and virtual assistants in the financial industry?
Chatbots and virtual assistants are the tools that provide personalized services to their users. In the finance industry, these AI tools work to digitize bank and customer interaction. However, with the help of chatbots or virtual assistants, customers can ask for their account details and other financial transactions. Financial institutions are using these AI-powered tools more often these days because it provides services 24/7, i.e., even after office hours.
Chatbots and virtual assistants are only useful from the point of view of the customers. But these are proven to be the most powerful tools for banks and other financial institutions. As these provide quick services to the customers by answering their general queries. By doing it these chatbots collect customer data for the banks and become a significant channel for data collection. However, the use of chatbots and virtual assistants is the most affordable as well as cost-cutting method for an organization to adopt.
What are the benefits and potential drawbacks of AI in the financial services industry?
Everything has its own set of positive and negative impacts on this ecosystem. Similarly, AI in the financial service industry is a very useful tool but it also has some drawbacks. AI technology is providing many benefits like risk management, fraud prevention, automation of manual tasks, and many more. Along with this, they are also lacking in some places such as security issues, lacking accuracy, and most importantly a human touch.
- AI has made the work of financial institutions easier as well as faster. Hence, with the use of AI tools banks can analyze their data and transactions in less time than usual.
- AI-powered tools have reduced the cost of financial institutions as their need for expertise in human resources has decreased. The institutions only need to adopt an algorithm for managing their customer services.
- The most important protocol of the finance industry is to work according to the rules and regulations. Hence, AI technology is helping the industry in this by following the listed rules and regulations.
- The financial sector is adopting AI chatbots and virtual assistance for improving their customer experiences. These AI tools provide instant services, help customers track their accounts, and solve their questions without wasting so much time.
- The biggest limitation of AI technology in the finance sector is that it is a biased and discriminated system. Because it works on the basis of the historical data saved in the system.
- The finance industry is using AI for security purposes but it is not fully secured and transparent. As AI requires detailed information to process the data that interconnects the systems and increases the risk of cyber crimes.
- AI lacks the human touch in its solutions because many times customer needs personal interaction with the service providers for their financial investments.
What is the future of AI in financial services?
The use of AI in the financial world is already existing, but the pandemic has boosted the adoption of this technology around the world. Banks are using AI tools for automating their services and making it convenient for their customers to use their services whenever and wherever they want.
The use of AI in the finance sector has improved risk management and fraud detection during transactions. However, it has also facilitated companies with customized portfolios for customers depending on their objectives.
The future of AI in Finance services is increasing as it is providing personalized advice to customers about their investments and spending. Additionally, it is facilitating the institutions in detailed decision-making for the utilization of funds by analyzing the market situations. AI has involved a large amount of financial data using machine learning for giving suitable investment decisions. However, AI is impacting the future of the finance industry in a positive way if used in the right manner.
Artificial intelligence is speedily revolutionizing the finance industry with its excellent services. But with that, it is also rising many security challenges and risks for the institutions. Therefore, it is necessary for the finance industry to be careful about the piece of information and data they are providing to the algorithms. Apart from that AI in the financial world is a collaboration of technology with humans, resulting in the digitalization of this ecosystem.

As part of its COVID-19 emergency response and recovery strategy, Adams County has scheduled a re-opening of county buildings beginning on Tuesday, June 2. Most county buildings – including the Government Center, Human Services Center, and Motor Vehicle locations – will be closed on Mondays as the county transitions to a four-day operational schedule, although some departments and elected offices will maintain their current schedules.
County buildings will have expanded hours – from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. – on Tuesdays through Fridays to serve residents, and county staff will work remotely on Mondays. Residents can also access many county services online at adcogov.org under the Save A Trip menu at the top, and the county encourages use of the website to handle these services whenever possible to minimize in-person visits.
“This is an unprecedented time, and the safety and health of county residents and employees is always our top priority,” said County Manager Raymond Gonzales. “When we re-open our facilities to the public, we will have several new measures in place to prevent the spread of the virus.”
Beginning June 2, all employees and residents entering county buildings will have their temperatures taken, and anyone registering a fever of 100.4 or higher, or exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms, will be denied entrance. Anyone entering county buildings will be required to wear a mask or face covering and practice social distancing by staying at least six feet apart. The county will display signs outside entrances with these new requirements. See all building entry requirements here.
The four-day week also provides the county with significant cost savings, and by adding earlier and later hours on Tuesdays through Fridays, the county will add flexibility to its schedule for the community.
“We are piloting these new hours through the end of 2020,” Gonzales said. “At that point, we will review all data and input from residents and employees to determine if we will continue the four-day schedule.”
Access Adams Online at adcogov.org, to take care of many county services from the comfort of your own home, and for those needing resources for aging adults, childcare, food security, healthcare, housing, small businesses, and unemployment during this time, please visit adamscountycovid19.org. | <urn:uuid:db4a43bb-6779-4b96-bf88-c906975c1e97> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://adcogov.org/news/adams-county-plans-four-day-schedule-and-new-safety-measures-when-re-opening-buildings-june-2 | 2023-09-23T17:55:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.956439 | 480 |
I uploaded this PDF describing the 12 factors in our Hiring Effectiveness Index (HEI) into ChatGPT. I then asked if the scoring system would help a company identify potential problems in its current hiring processes.
Spoiler alert. This could be scary. It represents the future of hiring.
I just used ChatGPT to fundamentally change how job candidates will be sourced, assessed, recruited and managed in the future. Here’s how to get started. If you dare.
I recognize this is a bit self-serving, but I asked ChatGPT if our Quality of Hire Talent Scorecard could be used to improve hiring results. I was surprised it was so insightful interpreting relationships and ideas that were never written. You’ll see what I mean below.
Note: I asked ChatGPT to write this post in my style. It also came up with the title. It took less than one minute. It took me more time to cut and paste this into LinkedIn. What do you think?
It’s important to note that using behavioral interviewing #BEI without a detailed job analysis pretty much invalidates the entire interview. Without knowing how a skill, competency or behavior is actually used on the job, the assessment is left to the interviewer’s biases and perception of the job and how well the candidate presented their answer.
When creating a talent acquisition strategy it’s important to note that about 20-25% of those in the workforce are always actively looking for another job. This is the group companies need to target to fill open jobs as rapidly as possible. There’s another 20-25% who are always proactively passive. Don’t even attempt to contact these people unless you’ve worked with the person before. Given this, it’s obvious the candidates you’ll want to hire for your most important roles are in the other 50-60%. While this is the ideal talent market, these people won’t respond to your emails or calls unless you become an expert at passive candidate recruiting. This involves a number of critical skills, in particular:
As a recruiter I abhorred the idea that an outstanding candidate for an important job was being judged by a person who wasn’t a very good interviewer. Sadly, after having debriefed over one thousand different interviewers, I estimate that about two-thirds fell short. And too often the assessments of those who were valid were overridden or discredited by those who weren’t.
I’m getting nervous with the proliferation of all of these AI-infused chatbots that will change life and work as we now know it. Some of them are wrong. Really wrong.
I’ve always found it odd – maybe even dumb – to hire people based on their skills and depth of experience without telling them much about the job until they start. Then to determine if they are good or not after they’re hired, we assess them on their performance doing some job they weren’t assessed on.
If your tactics, techniques, and technologies don’t support your talent strategy, you won’t be seeing or hiring too many good people.
Long ago a CEO for a mid-sized company asked me how much experience a person needed to have to be the VP Operations for his company. My glib response then was, “Enough to do the job. It’s what people do with what they have, not what they have that matters. Some people need more experience to do the same job and others need less.”
In my mind, being more efficient hiring the same people you’re now hiring is a trivial use of ChatGPT.
Last month I was speaking to a senior director of software engineering for a major high-tech company. With over 200 developers in his department and years of experience hiring top performers this observation was earth-shattering:
A client recently asked if we could update our performance-based interview to assess remote and hybrid workers for different professional staff roles.
I was just talking to the director of engineering for a major consumer products company about new ways to improve the hiring decision for software developers. His first comment was profound and applicable to just about every technical role.
I’ve just wrapped up recording a new course for LinkedIn Learning (available in Q2, 2023). The core theme of this new program is that by embedding post-hire success into the pre-hire sourcing and interviewing process it’s possible to attract and hire a different type of candidate. These are people who are more diverse, who have less traditional backgrounds, who are more focused on learning and development and who are more interested in long-term vs. gig employment. Achieving this goal requires a different process at every step from how jobs are defined to how candidates are onboarded and managed.
The other day someone asked me if she should quit her job. I handed her the graphic shown above and told her to rank the six factors on a 1-5 scale from terrible to outstanding.
I was a guest on Simon Fagg’s excellent After Dinner Leadership podcast last week. Simon brings an oldie with a newbie to discuss how business ideas of the past might still be useful today. Simon’s first question to me was to highlight some early leadership lessons that I felt were still relevant. Here’s what I came up with from the early 1970s.
You might recall that this was formerly known as the most important interview question of all time.
As an old manufacturing guy it’s pretty obvious that when a machine is producing scrap you stop the machine and fix the problem before turning it back on.
The Hiring Formula for Success shown in the image above defines all of the factors that best predict on-the-job success. Soft skills top the list.
I think too many people including those in HR, OD experts, hiring managers and recruiters, believe being a good interviewer requires some remarkable insight into human behavior. I think they’re mistaken. There is an alternate path: being a good detective.
Having tracked the performance of thousands of senior professional staff and managers over the past 50 years it turns out it’s not hard to predict who will be successful. All you need to do is ask candidates to describe their major accomplishments most comparable to the key performance objectives (KPOs) of the open job. As long as you dig deep enough the factors shown below will pop out. Consistency is what matters, though, not one-time occurrences. This preview of the Sherlock Holmes deductive interview describes the probing needed to gather this information.
It turns out hiring people who will be in the top half is pretty easy. You just have to stop making hiring mistakes.
The other day a candidate asked me how to figure out if he was qualified for a new role given 15 years of experience with the same company.
It turns out that anyone can be in the top 25% with the right job, the right company, and the right hiring manager. But this is a rare event despite having spent $400-500 billion in job postings and HR tech in the past 25 years in the hope of matching the perfect job with the perfect candidate.
It turns out that hiring outstanding talent on a consistent basis has little to do with your ATS, which job boards you use or the quality of your competency model. The process shown in the image below (PDF version) will give you consistent great results as long as you do these four things first:
The traditional interview process has been shown to be unreliable in predicting job performance, often due to bias, lack of training and a focus on surface-level characteristics. The Performance-based Interview (PBI) is a natural language approach that seeks to assess an individual’s competency, fit and motivation by asking them to describe their past performance in specific situations. Studies have shown that the PBI is a more accurate predictor of job performance than other interview methods, making it a valuable tool for organizations seeking to hire the best candidates. Moreover, the PBI can be used to assess candidates at all levels of experience, making it an ideal method for career development and succession planning.
If you want to hire a great person, you need to offer a great job, not a laundry-list of skills, experiences and competencies that at best is no more than an ill-defined lateral transfer surrounded by some generic boilerplate. This is even more important today with candidates leaving within 90 days after starting if the new job turns out to be more promise than substance (Fortune, May 2022).

Dental Membership programs are growing like crazy! Dental Economics magazine just released an issue dedicated to the rise of in-house dental membership programs and subscription dentistry, But what are they and how do they help your dental practice?
Membership programs are plans with dental benefits that your dental office sets up and offers to your uninsured patients in exchange for a monthly or yearly fee. You control the benefits you offer, how much you charge the patient and cut out 3rd party insurance companies. Much like Amazon Prime, a patient will become a “subscriber” to your practice and pay a monthly or yearly fee to get access to your benefits. Here are a few reasons why you should consider a membership program for your dental practice:
Reduce dependence on dental insurance
I have been in the dental industry for 15 years and one of the biggest complaints I hear in our industry is how bad it is to work with dental insurance. I strongly agree and have see the financial effects dental insurance has done to this industry. Image a system where you do not have to submit claims, deal with denials and delayed claims, which creates the miserable problem of delayed cash flow, Imagine eliminating the insurance mindset for both patient and staff. An in-house dental membership program can do this for your practice. if you focus on growing and signing up members you can reduce dependence on dental insurance and break free. This takes a lot of focus and work but it is worthy of your time.
Increase Patient loyalty
Loyalty is one of the most important aspects of having a strong and successful business. Loyalty is what makes growth possible. It is pointless to run a practice where your patients come in, get one cleaning and never come back. You need lifetime patients and you need predictable revenue to run your practice efficiently. A membership program can be a great way to increase loyalty to your dental practice if you choose to market it to external and existing uninsured patients.
Activate over 55% of the uninsured market
According to the US Surgeon general in 2012, over 108 million Americans didn’t have dental insurance and the number has continued to increase. It is estimated that over 55% of American don’t have dental insurance. This is a large amount of potential patients to attract and acquire for your dental practice. By using external marketing strategies like direct mail, online ads and word of mouth you can potentially grow your program to hundreds or even thousands of members who pay a yearly or monthly membership fee to your practice.
Generate predictable recurring revenue
One of the greatest benefits of creating an in-house membership program is the ability to generate predictable recurring revenue. This type of revenue stream is the holy grail for all types of businesses, especially for dental practices. One of the biggest problems in dentistry is managing the “feast and famine” cash flow cycles. One month your practice might produce a considerable amount of revenue and the next month may be a different story. Imagine if you signed up over 1,000 patients at $30/mo your practice will generate 30,000/mo of predictable recurring revenue ( this can be done as I have multiple clients that have achieved or surpassed this number of members). Could this number help you predictably cover pay roll or other expenses you may have while running your practice? The other benefit of utilizing a membership program is that you should use the discounts from the plans as an incentive to increase case acceptance. Discounts can be a very positive strategy to help increase case acceptance, only if you know your numbers/ profit margins.
I hope I have peaked your interest in starting and growing an in-house membership program. If you have additional questions I would love to help you answer them and continue educating you about the wonderful strategy that can help you grow your practice.

How does God communicate with Us
How many ways has God communicated with you? If you are asked, how does God communicate with us, how would you answer the question? Where would you go to provide Biblical proof? What stories would you share about personal experiences when God communicated with you? How does God communicate with us? If you are a Christian, the question must have come up. If people aren’t asking the question, how does God communicate with us, there has to be something wrong. If people aren’t talking about how God communicated with them, there must be something wrong.
Daniel had to rely on communication with God to make it through some of the trials he and his friends had to face. Daniel is one of the few government officials who stuck with God through thick and thin, and God communicated with Daniel on a number of platforms. Daniel had dreams, visions, talked with angels, and recorded everything. In fact, Daniel left us a guide book telling us exactly how God communicated with him, and why God used different moods of communication. When we read Daniel in the context it was written, we can’t help but see how important communication with God is. When something so simple saved Daniel’s life a number of times, made him second in command of the present world power, and secured his future, why not try communicating with God like Daniel did?

In the world of baseball, statistics play a crucial role in evaluating player performance and team success. One such important metric is WHIP, which stands for “Walks plus Hits per Inning Pitched.” WHIP is a valuable indicator of a pitcher’s ability to prevent baserunners and control the game on the mound. In this article, we will explore the meaning of WHIP in baseball, how it is calculated, its significance, and its impact on evaluating pitcher effectiveness.
What is WHIP?
Defining the Metric
WHIP is a pitching statistic that measures a pitcher’s effectiveness in preventing opposing batters from reaching base. It takes into account the number of walks and hits allowed by the pitcher per inning pitched.
Simple and Informative
To calculate WHIP, the total number of walks and hits surrendered by the pitcher is divided by the total number of innings pitched. The formula is as follows:
WHIP = (Walks + Hits) / Innings Pitched
Lower is Better
In WHIP, a lower value is more desirable, as it indicates that the pitcher is allowing fewer baserunners per inning pitched. A lower WHIP generally translates to better performance on the mound.
Significance of WHIP
Controlling the Game
WHIP is a crucial statistic for evaluating a pitcher’s ability to control the game. Pitchers with lower WHIPs are typically more effective at keeping runners off base and minimizing potential scoring opportunities for the opposing team.
Impact on Evaluation
Measuring Pitcher Effectiveness
WHIP is an important tool for evaluating a pitcher’s overall effectiveness. It provides insight into how well a pitcher is performing in preventing walks and hits, key factors in determining their success on the field.
WHIP vs. ERA
While both WHIP and Earned Run Average (ERA) are important pitching statistics, they provide different insights. WHIP focuses on baserunners allowed, while ERA reflects the number of earned runs allowed per nine innings. Together, these metrics give a more comprehensive view of a pitcher’s performance.
Using WHIP for Analysis
WHIP is particularly useful when comparing pitchers across different teams and leagues. It allows scouts, coaches, and fans to assess pitchers’ performances consistently, regardless of other factors.
WHIP: An Essential Statistic for Pitcher Evaluation
WHIP is a vital statistic in baseball that provides valuable insights into a pitcher’s ability to control the game and limit opposing team’s baserunners. By factoring in walks and hits per inning pitched, WHIP offers a straightforward measure of pitcher effectiveness on the mound. A lower WHIP is generally indicative of a more dominant pitcher, while a higher WHIP suggests opportunities for improvement. As baseball continues to rely on advanced statistics for player evaluation, WHIP remains a fundamental metric for assessing and comparing pitcher performances. | <urn:uuid:fe498490-21e0-427c-b1eb-778392878f06> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://agenpoker.space/understanding-whip-in-baseball-a-key-statistic-for-pitcher-performance/ | 2023-09-23T18:30:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.945706 | 621 |

Types of Gearboxes Used in Wind Turbines
Many manufacturers of wind turbines have chosen different solutions for the drive train of the turbines. Most prefer gearboxes because of their durability. These have several design features that make them well suited to shocks, stresses and wear. Regardless of the type of gearbox used, continuous maintenance and monitoring can extend the lifespan of these machines. Performing these tasks regularly can help detect and resolve any problems before they become serious. Here are some of the problems associated with gearboxes.
Coaxial helical gearbox
The R series helical inline gearbox is a high-quality speed reducer for heavy-duty industrial applications. These units are designed with increased power density in mind and are equipped with various cooling options. High-grade seals and lubricants help to increase efficiency and minimize thermal loading. They are ATEX-compliant. Their reversible modules are an excellent choice for high-speed applications, such as compressors, compressor blowers, and pumps.
The normal module set of helical gearbox is manufactured using the same tooth-cutting techniques as spur gears. This allows the production of higher-quality, more economical, and more compact helical gears. Although the performance of helical gears is lower than spur gears, they are durable and capable of transferring motion and power between 2 shafts. And because they are able to handle a much greater load, they are preferred for heavy-duty applications.
The main tooth form of a helical gearbox presents fixed velocity ratios, even if the center gap is not completely set. This requirement is sometimes referred to as the fundamental rule of gearing. A helical gearbox is similar to a set of paper spur gears, with the exception that the sections must stagger in opposite directions. There are 2 kinds of helical gears for parallel shafts: left-handed and right-handed.
The Industrial Gearbox market is segmented based on product type, application, and geography. The report analyzes the competitive scenario by segmenting the market by region, company, and type. Using this information, it estimates market size, revenue, and consumption. The report also features key information about COVID-19 and its impact on the overall industry. And it also provides a competitive landscape with industry-leading players.
Industrial gearboxes are integrated with devices and make automation processes more efficient and reliable. Increasing labor costs, shortage of skilled labor, and the ageing workforce are driving the demand for automation technologies. The industry requires newer and more advanced models and technologies to compete in the global market. You can use Coaxial helical gearbox in a variety of applications. Its benefits are endless. If you are looking for a reliable, high-performance industrial gearbox, CZPT can help you find it.
Worm reduction gearbox
As a general rule, larger center distance worm reduction gearboxes are more efficient than smaller ones. Worm gearboxes with 2.6-in. center distances start to lose efficiency as their ratios increase. Larger center distances tend to have higher efficiency than smaller ones. However, this difference may not always be enough to justify the higher investment. Worm gear reducers typically cost less than equivalent helical units.
The use of aluminum for worm reduction gearboxes is a popular choice for those involved in the manufacturing of Packaging Equipment. In addition to being lightweight, aluminum worm reduction gearboxes have high strength and rigidity. Manufacturers recommend this choice because of its high rigidity and durability. While purchasing aluminum worm reduction gearboxes, keep in mind that they are more expensive than steel versions. However, they have a longer lifespan and are highly resistant to wear.
The worm’s helix angle is larger than a helical gear, which allows a much higher gear ratio. In addition, the worm’s body is usually longer in the axial direction than helical gears. Worm reduction gears are often left-handed, and British or Indian standards are usually followed. The worm wheel is made of hardened alloy steel PB2-C, while the gearbox case is made of hardened alloy steel FG 220 or FG 250res.
The worms in a sacrificial system are relatively safe from wear. Instead, the softer wheel is the cause of most wear and tear. The oil analysis report for a sacrificial system shows low iron levels and high copper concentrations. However, if a worm reduction gearbox has a bad reputation, you should consider purchasing a new one. If the worm gears are in good condition, the gearbox is still a viable option for a new or replacement vehicle.
The advantages of a worm reduction gearbox are numerous. The worm gearbox is widely used in industrial settings, where it provides torque and speed reduction to move products. Worm gearboxes are also commonly used in automatic security gates, which will not run in reverse. Most security gates use 2 separate worm drives to keep the gate in the closed position. There are also many other uses for worm reducers. You can learn more about the benefits of worm gearboxes by reading below.
Stainless steel gearbox
Stainless steel gearboxes offer a number of advantages over standard gearboxes. They match the existing stainless motor design and cost 50 percent more on average. They have stainless output shafts and housings as well as corrosion resistant hardware and a food grade lubricant. Stainless steel gearboxes feature IP 65 sealing, Viton shaft seals at the input and output shafts, and a Buna o-ring between the housings. Stainless steel gearboxes also eliminate flat surfaces and allow for a cylindrical design.
Stainless steel gearboxes are more durable than traditional cast iron or epoxy-painted gearboxes. These gearboxes can withstand repeated washdown operations without damage. They also do not collect particles or bacteria. And because stainless steel does not corrode, stainless steel gearboxes can withstand harsh environments, such as oily or greasy environments. Because stainless steel gearboxes are corrosion-resistant, they require little maintenance. They are also easier to clean and maintain, resulting in fewer replacements and a longer life span for your gearbox.
Stainless steel gearboxes are a great choice for food and other industries that require high hygiene standards. In addition to its durability, stainless steel gearboxes are ideal for applications in environments that require high levels of humidity and water. They are also life-lubricated, and they can be supplied with food-grade oils or water. The CZPT Gears stainless gearbox is a versatile option for a variety of applications.
Stainless steel gearboxes offer superior corrosion protection and can withstand harsh environments. The stainless steel cover, housing, and external hardware ensure superior corrosion protection. If you have questions about the varying benefits of stainless steel gearboxes, contact a CZPT Gear sales representative to learn more about your options. And if you are not sure which type is right for your needs, contact a CZPT Gear sales representative to find the perfect solution for your business.
1 speed gearbox
Volkswagen Group Components manufactures the 1 speed gearbox. The gearbox has a high-performance electric drive motor that produces 310 Nm of torque over a wide speed range. Designed for maximum range, this gearbox uses a single gear for all driving situations. It is extremely quiet, too, and requires precision manufacturing. Volkswagen has also made it available in a reverse-gear configuration with power electronics. Volkswagen’s ID.3 EV’s e-drive motor is a perfect example of this.
The first part of the transmission corresponds to the even and odd gears, while the second part has the straighter gears. A single gear set can change between both modes. An intermediate gear set is also possible. A lastshelf gear can be formed by hydraulically betigte Lamellenkupplungen. Both types of gears can be exchanged between partial transmissions. The invention may furthermore include a transmission with the same gear ratios as the first part of the transmission.
Another variation of the 1 speed gearbox is the CVT. This type of gearbox has only 1 drive unit, which means it does not require a clutch or brake. Its power is derived from the torque generated by the Internal Combustion Engine at a particular speed. The engine cannot sustain such high torque levels above 5500 RPM, which will reduce the MPG. Also, raising the RPM will reduce the acceleration, and in severe cases may lead to an engine crash.
As the number of applications for a 1 speed gearbox increases, its design and functionality will continue to evolve. Bosch Rexroth has developed its eGFZ gearbox based on customer feedback. They are currently working on various pilot projects and hope to put it into production in the next few years. However, if you want to buy a 1 speed gearbox now, consider the benefits of a first-rate design. | <urn:uuid:a2722291-7a45-4187-a09b-55f96ca4c1d8> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://agricultural-gear-boxes.net/china-professional-worm-gearbox-double-enveloping-worm-reducer-combination-reducer-near-me-manufacturer/ | 2023-09-23T18:12:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.913986 | 3,179 |

Project 3411 - Renovating the roof of a building
Benedictine Community of Ampitiya (Sri-Lanka)
The Sylvestrine congregation has been present in Sri Lanka since 1875 (Kandy). This was its first foundation outside Italy. The growing number of young Indians joining the community made it possible to found rapidly in India. The priory at Ampitiya was set up on the outskirts of Kandy in 1927 and became the Mother House for the other houses that flourished from it in Sri Lanka.
The community is made up of forty-four brothers, including seven temporary professed monks and two novices.
The brothers grow rice. They are involved in pastoral work, running parishes and a retreat centre, as well as schools for the children of the poorest families.
The building used for the young monks in training is 65 years old and in a very poor state of repair. It includes the young people’s bedrooms, study rooms, laundry and washing facilities. The roof has been damaged for many years, with water running down the walls creating cracks and impregnations, and there is constant dampness. The monks have repaired the damage locally, but this is no longer enough: after analysing the whole structure, engineers have declared that the entire roof and buildings need to be renovated and replaced. Sri Lanka is undergoing a very serious economic crisis, which has tripled prices, and the brothers do not have the financial means to complete this project.

Traveling: It’s one of the coolest ways of getting around. In some cases it is even the main viable way, for instance, when you go to remote spots in nature or in the field need t go. Before you can begin traveling, you want a vehicle, obviously. Notwithstanding, numerous vehicle rental organizations appear to make a game of taking however much cash as could reasonably be expected from their clients. To assist you with leasing a vehicle as economically as conceivable without being confronted with terrible shocks in the wake of restoring, I might want to give you five ways to lease a vehicle.
Tip 1: Book with an organization that likewise orchestrates your protection
The modest rates with which notable vehicle rental organizations now and again appear to be good yet frequently are not. Frequently these rates do exclude protection for window, rooftop, and floor harm, for instance. In the event that you get harm to these parts, it tends to be very costly. In this manner, I encourage you to book where conceivable with organizations that normally remember these insurance contracts for the rental sum. That frequently costs you something (however not without question) more, yet like that, you additionally realize that it is very much organized assuming you suddenly get harm.
Tip 2: Pick up and return at a similar spot
It is quite often less expensive to end your excursion in a similar spot where you start. Also, I mean a similar spot; getting back to another area (regardless of whether it is situated in a similar city) causes one-way costs. These can add up to many euros! In this way, it is rapidly beneficial to get the vehicle where you at last need to return it (or the other way around), regardless of whether you need to head out to (or from) your ideal objective another way.
Tip 3: Do not cross the boundary with your rental vehicle
Albeit this counsel is emphatically against my personality, it is prudent to take with you according to a monetary perspective. You quite often need to pay a great deal (going from two or three tens to some of the time many dollars) to cross a line with your vehicle. Apparently, this is to cover burglary gambles in an ‘risky’ unfamiliar nation, yet it is simply to take however much cash as could be expected from the client. this training is turning out to be increasingly normal. You can, obviously, cross the line without revealing it, yet in the event that you are gotten (for instance, by a capture by the police or a traffic fine), you can feel profoundly in your pockets since you have not stuck to the circumstances in your tenant agreement. In the event that conceivable, don’t cross the line with your rental vehicle,
Now and again you likewise need to pay for other administrative work notwithstanding the boundary crossing pace of the rental organization. For instance, your vehicle’s protection may not be substantial in the another nation, and you should thusly buy extra protection reports.
Tip 4: Make sure you return the vehicle with a full tank
In the extraordinary greater part of cases, you lease a vehicle in Lahore under the supposed full = full condition. This implies that you take the vehicle with a full gas tank and should return it filled once more. That appears to be sensible, yet many individuals appear to neglect to refuel before they drive back to the rental area. That is a costly joke on the grounds that the rental organization frequently basically charges a fuel value that is over two times the typical cost to top off it. Particularly when your tank is practically vacant when you return it, this is a terrible shock when you get back, so drive past the service station prior to returning the vehicle!
Tip 5: Don’t let the vehicle rental organization fool you
If you have any desire to lease a vehicle keep going moment (on the spot), yet in addition on the off chance that you have made a booking ahead of time through the web and you come on the spot to get your vehicle, numerous vehicle rental organizations attempt to offer you a wide range of costly protection. Obviously, you need to run as little gamble as conceivable of paying significant expenses on the off chance that something turns out badly during your excursion, and the staff is by all accounts ready to answer this so you may rapidly be leaned to take out these costly insurance contracts (frequently more costly than if you close them ahead of time).
Organize your insurance ahead of time and in every case cautiously check your movement protection and the policy conditions, in light of the fact that frequently, everything is as of now covered. So you really pay for no good reason in the event that you take out a wide range of protection last-minute at the workplace of the vehicle rental organization. The facts really confirm that vehicle rental establishment areas are many times more complex than the authority areas controlled from the administrative center.
It is likewise significant to have a similar Visa with you when you get the vehicle while booking ahead of time with a charge card. On the off chance that you don’t do this, you will either not get the rental vehicle, or you should pay a significant extra charge. | <urn:uuid:408fd1a5-8301-48af-9c6b-81bdbf9ecdf9> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://alastdirectory.com/5-tips-for-renting-a-car/ | 2023-09-23T18:48:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.964428 | 1,050 |

Google text Docs, Slides and Drawings do not automatically notify collaborators when an edit has been made. One way you can know if edits to collaborative documents has been made is to go to “Recent” on the left hand side in Google Drive. This will show you documents that have been recently edited. Use the info pane in Drive to view the recent activity on the document.
A good habit to get into is to utilize the “Email collaborators” capability in Docs each time you perform edits to a document. When more than one person is working on a document send a notification to let them know that edits have been made. Quickly collaborators can provide feedback or contribute to the document. This helps a project to be completed faster.
Emailing collaborators allows you to write a note to people who are shared on the document. This feature saves you from remembering who you are collaborating with, what their email is and having to switch over to your email.
Link to Document
The best part of email collaborators is that a link to the Google Doc is automatically included in the email notification. This alerts the collaborator that they can take a look at the edits and allows them to quickly and easily access the document. | <urn:uuid:fa755612-1563-4e2a-af09-7ef64b81fa74> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://alicekeeler.com/2015/03/12/email-collaborators-to-notify-edits/ | 2023-09-23T17:48:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.938442 | 255 |

I drew this from a photograph of a real person I found in a magazine. I won't give anymore clues to his real identity, since I am maligning him by my assessment of his facial expression.
He was super fun to draw. The only thing I didn't get right was his dead-on stare. In my drawing, my guy's eyes are a little too kind. Not so in the real photo. I wish you could see it. You might be amused to see the way his hands are folded in front of his chest in an open fingered pedagoguish manner. Everything about the photo reads pompous.

The pages are arranged by subject or things that look alike or by color or by just any old pattern that makes me happy.
I sometimes sketch on the pages as you can see.
Or I might preserve part of an article I liked.
Contortion was the subject of these next couple of pages.
I've got lots of torn paper. It's time to pick up the glue stick again!

A short history on the evolution of the letter H: The American Heritage dictionary says the letter heth originally represented a consonant h in Semitic languages which included Phoenician. When the early (eastern) Greeks adopted the Phoenician alphabet they used this letter for their h sound or "rough breathing." In the eastern Ionic dialect the h was lost. Later both western Greeks and Romans used an alphabet that retained the h and from them came the symbol that the Romans simplified to the modern form of the letter H.
In ancient Egyptian the hieroglyph for fence was most likely the starting point of the symbol we recognize today as H.The Proto-Semitic H appeared as:
The Phoenician H was represented by this mark:
The Etruscan H was:
In the Greek alphabet the H appeared in this recognizable form.
And finally the H in Latin:
Beginning with H:
Names and Places: Hong Kong, Hitchcock, Haiti, Holland, Hoboken, Ho Chi Minh-the city and the person, Nathan Hale, Jimmy Hoffa, Hungary, Hawaii, Hammurabi, Homer-the cartoon character, the poet and the artist, Honduras, Honolulu, Hoosier, Harry Houdini, Hadrian and his wall, New Hampshire, and the Hamptons, Helene Hanff-favorite writer, five former presidents-Warren G. Harding, William Henry Harrison, Herbert Hoover, Rutherford B. Hayes and Benjamin Harrison.
Food: hashbrowns, honey, hominy, honeydew melon, hummus, ham, hamburger, hot dog, horseradish, herring, halibut, haggis, Hershey's chocolates, hot tamales, hoagies, herbs, and hen
The most famous, most used sans-serif typeface in the advertising world is Helvetica. It even has it's own documentary. My son Brandon and I watched it this summer while we were on vacation in Florida...cause we are weird like that.
This clip is really long, so you may not want to watch it all. That won't hurt my feelings. But if you love typology you will be interested.
H words that we should use more often:
harbinger, hoity toity, hassle, hillbilly, harridan, hope chest, hootchy-kootchy, hushpuppy, harrumph, hodgepodge, harmonious, hokum, hindsight, hoopla, hippogriff, hinterland, hornswoggle, hipster, hurdy-gurdy, hobnob, hunky-dory, huzzah, hosanna, hyacinth, hooligan, halcyon, hooray, hopscotch, hijinks, hog heaven, hightops, harangue, haberdashery, hullabaloo
My birth year makes me a Horse in the Chinese zodiac. Here is what a horse is supposed to be like. I'm not sure this is totally me:
People born in the Year of the Horse are popular. They are cheerful, skillful with money, and perceptive, although they sometimes talk too much. The are wise, talented, good with their hands, and sometimes have a weakness for members of the opposite sex. They are impatient and hot-blooded about everything except their daily work. They like entertainment and large crowds. They are very independent and rarely listen to advice. They are most compatible with Tigers, Dogs, and Sheep.
As far as I know, there is no goodbye word that starts with H so I will have to end this with a simple adieu....to you and you and you! So long farewell!
I was supposed to name 10 H things that I really liked. I'm not too good at following directions. If you would like a letter to write about and would like to do as you're told....visit Betsy at My Five Men. And tell her I'm sorry while you're over there please.

Cosmo Castorini: You'll have your eyes opened for you, my friend.
Johnny: I have my eyes open.
Cosmo Castorini: Oh yeah? Well, stick around. Don't go on any long trips.
Johnny: I don't know what you mean.
Cosmo Castorini: I know you don't. That's the point. I'll say no more.
Johnny: You haven't said anything!
Cosmo Castorini: And that's all I'm saying.
Rose: Do you love him, Loretta?
Loretta Castorini: Aw, ma, I love him awful.
Rose: Oh, God, that's too bad.
Ronny Cammareri: Loretta, I love you. Not like they told you love is, and I didn't know this either, but love don't make things nice - it ruins everything. It breaks your heart. It makes things a mess. We aren't here to make things perfect. The snowflakes are perfect. The stars are perfect. Not us. Not us! We are here to ruin ourselves and to break our hearts and love the wrong people and die. The storybooks are bullshit. Now I want you to come upstairs with me and get in my bed!
Grandfather: La bella luna! The moon brings the woman to the man. Capice?
Cosmo Castorini: A man understands one day that his life is built on nothing, and that's a bad, crazy day.
Rose: Your life is not built on nothing! Te amo.

Some I remember where I got them and some I don't have a clue about.
A couple are loaners. I ordered two of the used ones from Amazon after reading something by the same author. Lots were discovered at the thrift store. One is from my daughter and one from my daughter in law. Looks like I have some reading to do.
Have you read any of these? Did you like them or not? Any book reviewers out there?
How about you? Do you stash books in out of the way places waiting to find the time to read them? What's in your stack?

My sweet nothings belong to my son Daniel because he surprised me with flowers at work yesterday. When the FedEx guy came in with the box, I pointed to the back of the office and said "you might as well take it back there" meaning give it to Mandy. She has a boyfriend you see. My boss has a boyfriend too, but he wouldn't be sending flowers to the office, since he was already in Florida with her. So yeah Mister FedEx guy, walk on past me with that box. Imagine my surprise when he plops it down and says "it's got your name on it" and walks out leaving me with my mouth gaping. I went outside to call my son to say thank you because I didn't want to cry in the office.
My second shout out of love goes to my daughter, the new mother, who gave me a baggie of my favorite candy and a card when I went by to see the adorable new grandson last night . She always says the nicest things in her cards to me. She makes me cry too.
My youngest son came by this week. He is having to re-glue and re-grout the tile in my bathroom. Poor thing, he is my official honey-do guy. We had dinner together. When he leaves he always give me the big bear hugs that I adore.
Texas son Brandon will be in Georgia next week for business. He is making special arrangements to take a half day off so he can drive 2 1/2 hours to see his newest nephew. I think you will agree that there is something special about a guy who will go out of his way to see a baby not his own.
On the same topic, son Daniel drove 2 hours to see same baby for 20 minutes while mother and son were still in the hospital. Son TJ valiantly spent the night at the hospital awaiting the birth and then went back another day for another look at the new one.
So to conclude this Valentine's Day lovefest....I just have to say....I may not have a sweetheart of my own... but I have the best children in the world. I love you one and all!
At work, where I spent the better part of the day, the walls are white, the artwork is mediocre, and the job is conventional. When we aren't busy, I tend to get bored. It is then that I doodle. I practice writing metaphors....something I remain bad at despite the practice. I daydream. I do remodeling projects in my head. Mental escape is the name of my game.
It was that same tendency towards boredom that made this next project appeal to me. I read in a magazine that some crafters were altering old fashioned Rolodexes and turning them into mini scrapbooks. That gave me the idea to use varied images and quotes to decorate the front and back of Rolodex cards.
This project is not finished. There is much left to do, but you will get the general idea of what I am trying to achieve.
When it is done I might place it on my desk. I will be able to give it a spin anytime I need a mini mental vacation, look at the image that rolls to a stop in front of me and perhaps be transported to another day or time.
I am including snippets of paintings I love, parts of photographs, cut up greetings cards and inspirational quotes, sayings, puns, jokes....anything that "floats my boat!"
Here is a link about Rolodex scrapbooking if you're interested in know more.
This is a link to an altered card set on Etsy.
Ali Edwards has a great blog if you are looking for practical ideas for journaling and scrap booking.
A young mom, who is local to my area, has a creative blog where you will be sure to find a fun project or two is here. Her name is Virginia. I attended a fun class she taught about how to make a book of favorite stuff. I included my love of Sun Chips and movies in mine.
This scrapper's layouts are filled to the brim with crafty goodness. She loads product on a page like nobodies business. Her pieces are fun to look at. Check her out here.
Reminder: If you will be participating in Inspirational Places and Spaces Show and Tell today, please leave me a comment to that effect and I will post a link to your blog below.

Only one bootie was finished so he had to make the trip home wearing socks only. I made the second bootie only to discover that it was smaller, neater and better in every way than the first. So I made a third bootie, which turned out better still. Now I am making a fourth in the attempt to produce a matching pair. I guess practice really does make perfect....or at least better.....
Keep your fingers crossed please!
Linda from Linda Mahoney Art surprised me with this nice award this week.
Thanks Linda. Please check out her beautiful artwork. I practically drool looking at her fabulous pieces. She has such a talent.

Thai Crunch Salad from California Pizza Kitchen
Crispy Chicken strips from KFC (yes, I know it's bad for me)
Basmati rice with Coconut milk
This list is one item too long, but I can't choose which one to eliminate so I'm not....eliminating one!

Denise at Look Beyond the Picket Fence-because she makes something cute everyday!
Robyn at Art Propelled-because she carves wonderful things and inspires and teaches me something new all the time.
Toni at A Spattering-because her bird studies are fantastic and her watercolor tips are invaluable.

Linda at Quotidian Curiosities-because she is a fantastic watercolorist...even though February seems to have put her on hold...hurry up spring...Linda needs inspiration to paint again
That is just six artists, but heck I named eight foods, so we're even!
Get busy, make something creative before the week is over and remember take a picture of the space that inspires you to be creative and share it on Friday! | <urn:uuid:2f92a0f8-1a06-4aee-bccc-c1b84bc4bcf4> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://alittlebirdietoldmeso.blogspot.com/2009/02/ | 2023-09-23T18:51:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.96616 | 3,327 |
Keeping organized, well trying to at least….
I love, love, love teaching and making new materials to help meet the needs of my students. What I don’t love, love, love is trying to keep all these materials organized and safe. So I hope that this entry will help other teachers like me who need some help with the organizational side of teaching. As I have said before I try to change out my materials every month or so in order to help keep my students interested and engaged. With these changes of materials I also will change the containers that hold them, the small fine motor material that are being manipulated, and the trays all move around. While I change them I sometimes put specific trays, items, manipulative, away.
Well as the year continues these materials don’t always get put back into the right place, which causes an inevitable HUGE mess. At the beginning of the summer I took it upon myself to try to re-organize everything. Imagine entering a closet full of boxes, art materials, trays, vases, and tons of little beads on the floor. Well that is what my storage closet has become, i.e. “The Closet of Doom”.
The first thing that I did was take everything out of the closet, and I mean everything which sounds like no big deal but it was a lot of stuff….
This took about three hours just to get everything out and actually clean the closet. The next step was sort items back into the months that they appear on my shelf. I have a general order of science and cultural topics that I talk about each year and I try to have them correlate to what is going on with the weather, world, or what time of the year it is. Once I finally got all that organized I went through each item to make sure it was complete, if it wasn’t I donated/threw it away.
When I was finally left with only the materials that I would be using in the school year I took out the bins, I ordered some from Amazon the previous year, and put the materials, items, objects, etc. into them. I then made sure to write what month each bin was needed along with the major topics I go over that month in hopes that it will help make putting the things away next year simpler. There were a few things that did not fit into any monthly bin, which is why those plastic storage containers from the dollar store are just so nice. I was able to put items in them as well and since they are bright colors it made my dimly lit closet not do doomy.
After about four days of cleaning, seven bags of trash, and lots of Ziploc bags I am happy to report “The Closet of Doom” has been completely overhauled. I currently do not have a photo of the new and improved closet but as soon as I do I will post it. | <urn:uuid:00e58432-04fa-4dc0-a806-207e185dbd27> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://alldaymontessori.org/keeping-organized-well-trying-least/ | 2023-09-23T16:57:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.982883 | 602 |
Review: Animal Force – Chinese developer ISVR released its first title, Animal Force, two years ago on the Asian market as launch title for PlayStation VR. The game was considered an excellent launch title, but Animal Force did not immediately put the PlayStation VR headset on the map as a must-have product. No, the game was best described as mediocre. Two years after the original release, the game was finally localized for the Western market, but is Animal Force a title that we are all waiting for two years later?
Animal Force: 3D Tower Defense
Animal Force looks like at startup simplistic and even childish. The use of color and the overall tone of the game indicate that this is a game for the younger players among us. It uses large icons, colorful pictures and the game gives a very cheerful vibe, which gives a nice feeling. The graphics are simple but effective. You can either play with a DualShock 4 controller or with a single Move controller. Animal Force has two modes, namely a single-player campaign and three different mini-games that you can play together with friends on the couch, with one player on the headset while the rest sees a different picture on TV.
It’s handy that you play the tutorial for the first time, because that makes it clear in a simple way what Animal Force is really about. The ‘story’ is a joke; evil aliens are targeting the inhabitants of the earth and it is up to you and your friends from the animal kingdom to stop the enemies. For this type of game, the simple story is not a problem at all, since that does not predominate, that should be the fun of the gameplay.
Your avatar is a spaceship and the animals form the first defense against the invasion. Every animal species has a unique characteristic that can also be upgraded as you progress through the campaign. How does it work? Well, you are traveling with your spaceship over a planet looking for the UFO that indicates that this is the next level in the campaign. If you choose to start, you have to make a choice from the animals you want to play in this level. Initially, you only have the panda bear at your disposal that fights the enemies with bullets, but as you progress in the campaign, other animals will join your arsenal.
For example, you can play the rhinoceros later, that slows down the enemy with his projectiles. The bird generates a shield against enemy bullets and so on. When you have made a choice, the level starts. You see black holes with a yellow ribbon coming towards the planet along which the enemies move. A red line indicates the de-alienation line of the aliens. That is only important when the aliens have come through your first line of defense, because you have not been able to take them all.
With the spaceship you can place all animals, a selection of your animals and even individual animals at any place in the world. place the 3D space. If an animal comes in contact with an alien or with a projectile, then you have lost that animal. You get animals when you make short work of the aliens. If you have placed the maximum number of animals of one species in space, you will be given a star in the place that you can use again to improve the qualities of your animals. That is necessary, because the enemy is also evolving. The enemy, like you, will be faster, stronger and harder to defeat.
Too easy? Forget it!
The first levels are literally child’s play and serve more as a glorified tutorial to get to know your little animals and to get into the flow a bit. This changes, however, within a dozen levels. By the time you’re halfway through the campaign – which, incidentally, consists of 6 different levels with a total of 28 sub-levels – you probably already had the tendency to park your motion controller in your TV, because this game turns out to be anything but to be a laughing stock in terms of difficulty. The screen is so full of lines, animals, projectiles and aliens, that you can speak of happiness that you get everything that happens. Often you feel unfair because you can not correct an error with any possibility. An error means that you are hard settled with a game on screen as a result.
There is nothing wrong with a tricky game, but it becomes frustrating as you reach 5 and still do not know why you have failed. And the further you come, the more ruthless the enemies become. Often all your animals are destroyed within seconds and you do not even notice what this is. Adapting your strategy by selecting other animals before the level starts often also does not help a single nut. The game also has bosses who send you back to the start in no time without a glance or blush. If you buy this game for a child because of its misleading appearance, prepare for heavy crying, because junior has cut out his work with Animal Force.
Multiplayer is limited
You already have read that Animal Force also supports a local multiplayer. However, this multiplayer is limited to three party games that are fun to play a few times. The best of the three requires normal players to steal statues without being noticed by the VR player, while the VR player has to track down the thieves before all the statues are gone. Another game is the well-known sla-de-mol in which TV players must behave unnoticed between AI characters in order to walk to the exit, while the VR player with a hammer can switch off the normal player, if he is certain of the identity of the player. After a few times, however, you’ve also seen these mini-games, so they do not really have any added value. | <urn:uuid:8367ef71-3400-4353-9e72-fdb16e27deca> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://allhomecinema.com/review-animal-force-ps-vr/ | 2023-09-23T18:55:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.966423 | 1,164 |

Flextron Launches FlexGrid and FlexStack: 10-Minute EV Charging with Battery Pack
India’s first battery-integrated DC charger, FlexGrid, is unveiled by Bengaluru-based EV firm Flextron. The battery-integrated DC charger aims to charge two- and three-wheelers in under 10 and 15 minutes, respectively, for battery systems in two-wheelers up to 3 kWh and three-wheelers up to 8 kWh.
Companies wishing to adopt its rapid charging won’t have to deal with the inconvenience of grid or power upgrades because FlexGrid has a growing output capability of between 25kW and 40kW with an input of 7.5kW.
Due to EVs’ ability to charge with FlexGrid in under 10 minutes without the need for grid modifications, the EV charging industry has seen enormous growth.
Ameen Khan, CTO of Flextron, said, “We are thrilled to launch India’s first battery-integrated DC charger, FlexGrid. With the new chargers, the company is set to further its credibility as a proud Made In India brand in the ever-growing EV sector. The rapid charging infrastructure is a remarkable development that holds immense potential to revolutionize the way it drives and would eventually transform our transportation landscape. The key to driving widespread electric vehicle adoption lies in the promotion of smaller batteries because their capability of quicker charging and delivering optimal mileage is an exciting prospect that aligns with the goal of making EVs even more convenient, efficient, and sustainable. This approach is expected to gain more traction in the market compared to larger battery packs, which may offer higher mileage but necessitate significantly longer charging times. The EV industry can indeed contribute significantly to a more sustainable transportation future.”
Flextron is a Bengaluru-based startup that provides electric vehicle charging solutions for residential, commercial, and fast charging stations. It was founded in 2021 by five co-founders who have a vision of building the densest network of EV charging stations across India.
Flextron uses a hosting-partner model, where it partners with operators at essential slots such as hotels, petrol pumps, midways, shops, restaurants, etc. to install, monitor and maintain EV charging stations. Flextron also offers smart EV charging stations and software for all businesses that want to adopt EVs through the deployment of EV charging infrastructure globally | <urn:uuid:c5316f0c-db42-43e0-99f8-0a2707238440> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://allindiaev.com/flextron-launches-flexgrid-and-flexstack-10-minute-ev-charging-with-battery-pack/ | 2023-09-23T17:19:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.942929 | 515 |

The process of choosing a professional shipping company in North Charleston, SC can be a bit intimidating, especially if you’ve never had to go through the process before. So how do you know you’re selecting a company that will be reliable and professional?
Here’s a quick overview of some of the characteristics you should prioritize when selecting a partner for your company’s shipping needs.
It’s important to make sure any company you work with has a significant amount of experience in providing the exact services you need. The more experience a company has, the more you can trust them to deal with issues such as potential cargo reroutes, shutdowns of ports, warehousing issues and customs problems for international shipping. Plus, if a company has been in business for many years, you can trust that it has developed a reputation for delivering high-quality service—otherwise it probably would have gone out of business years ago.
Even if you only need a couple primary services from your shipping company, it can be beneficial to work with a shipping company that offers a wide range of services, which will make it easier for you to scale up your operations if you ever find yourself needing to do so. Look for a company that provides packing and storage, inventory management, freight consolidation, customs clearance, booking cargo space, import and export documentation, insurance and more.
Just because a company is experienced and offers the services you need doesn’t automatically mean they’re going to be the best option for you. Customer service and communication are crucial factors to take into consideration. After all, your own customers depend on timely shipments, and shipping issues can quickly result in frustrated customers. You should spend some time talking to your potential shipping company before you develop a working relationship with them so you can gauge the level of customer service they provide and how easy it will be to work and communicate with them. High-quality customer service makes a big difference in the logistics industry, so do not underestimate its worth.
When analyzing the background of your potential shipping provider, be sure to check all of the credentials and certifications the company possesses. If you have any goods that require specialized training or particular security requirements, then it’s important to know the company you’ve selected has those capabilities before you start working with them. Do some general background investigation into any claimed credentials and certifications, and don’t be afraid to ask the company for references to other companies that have used similar services to what you are in need of.
These are just a few examples of some of the most important considerations to keep in mind when selecting a company to provide professional cargo shipping in North Charleston, SC. For more information about our wide range of shipping and logistics services, we encourage you to contact the team at All Points Transport today. We look forward to discussing how we can meet your needs!

The news has just been confirmed by our network, although the precise date of the feat is not known. The mountain guide Benjamin Védrines has just climbed without oxygen the Broad Peak (8,047 m, Karakoram), by the normal route of the West Spur, in a record time of 7 hours and 28 minutes from a start at 4,890 meters, on the Godwin-Austen glacier. He then descended by paraglider, taking off from the summit zone.
It is an exploit, a time out of the norms, since the previous record was established at nearly 16 hours – more than twice the time of Védrines – since 1984 by the Pole Krzystof Wielicki, and had never been beaten since: in 1994, the Swede Göran Kropp reached the summit in 18:30 and this month of July, the same day as Védrines, the Kazakh Denis Urubko would have also reached the summit by the normal way, in 15 hours…
Védrines climbed Broad Peakat an average rate of 423 m/h
Védrines started the chronometer at midnight. He reached the altitude of 6630 m at 2:20 am (pace of 745 m/h), before leaving 45 minutes

Focus Physical Therapy & Fitness is a therapist owned practice in South Carolina. The staff takes pride in treating advanced sports injuries, workplace injuries, and the physical rehabilitation practice is dedicated to physical care, pain prevention and overall physical health.
Focus’ owner Rich Biggers brought the AlterG® Anti-Gravity Treadmill™ to his practice three years to “lighten up” his patients, allowing them to run with a normal gait thanks to it’s ability to achieve precise partial weight bearing therapy. He had been using a Total Gym system, but it did not allow for running or the unweighting of patients. The AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill uses differential air pressure to unweight patients in precise 1% increments to as low as 20% of patient body weight without impeding gait swing.
Rich was attracted to the clinical benefits of the AlterG, including balance improvements, improved healing times for lower-extremity surgeries, reduced pain and increased cardiovascular endurance. Focus uses the unique therapy advantages of AlterG with patients who have had a stroke or orthopedic injury. Rich promotes that with the AlterG, “once-painful movements become much more accessible, and treatment progress improves with much less discomfort, much greater ease.”
Rich says he has used the AlterG successfully in a therapy plan for a patient who had a stroke in 1985 and then broke a hip this past year. The patient improved her gait and strength with AlterG. In another patient success story, an elderly woman who had stopped walking due to knee pain is again walking thanks to the AlterG and the care provided at Focus.
“For people contending with painful conditions in their lower body—hips, ankles, knees, feet—the AlterG literally lowers the impact of your weight during treatment, like walking on the moon, which means faster, safer recovery.”
Athletes also come to Focus for the AlterG. An arena football player was able to maintain cardiovascular conditioning and avoid muscle atrophy after knee surgery. He used the AlterG to run with decreased stress on his knee.
In addition to patients who are rehabilitating following an injury or surgery, the AlterG attracts direct access clients to Focus. Runners and others seeking to improve aerobic conditioning come to Focus and self-pay to use the Anti-Gravity Treadmill.
“As it lightens the load your body has to carry, you can concentrate on maintaining a comfortable, natural stride,” adds Rich, who points to a local runner who can only compete at marathon distances when training on the AlterG.”
Rich believes the AlterG will be important in attracting more patients, physician referrals and direct access clients when he soon moves his facility to a new location that is closer to orthopedic physician practices. “Our new facility will have greater visibility and will provide greater exposure for treatment offerings and unique equipment like the AlterG,” he says.
- Dynamic balance improvements
- Improved healing times for post-operative lower-extremity surgeries
- Increased cardiovascular endurance
- Unique technology sets practice apart from competition
- Attracts direct access patients and endurance runners
- Provides another treatment option for physical therapy care plans

Can you please tell me about singer Maureen McGovern and if she is singing or recording?
—Faith B., Wisconsin
Maureen McGovern was working as a secretary when she got the nod to record The Morning After for the 1972 film The Poseiden Adventure. After that song reached No. 1, McGovern followed with another disaster movie hit, We May Never Love This Way Again, from The Towering Inferno. Though she dominated the music charts for a time in the 1970s, McGovern branched out beyond pop stardom. She's acted on Broadway and television, sang with symphonies and performed duets with Placido Domingo, Mel Torme and Sting. She also established Works of Heart, which brings music to caregivers and their patients, after singing at a pediatric unit in Pittsburgh one Christmas Eve. She closed with the hopeful The Morning After. "As the children's beds were being wheeled back to their rooms, one by one, each parent clung to me with tears in their eyes," McGovern recalls. "One mother thanked me over and over again for making her heart 'smile'—something she hadn't felt in over a year. I will never forget their faces. I knew, then and there, that I was put on this earth to sing music that comforts and inspires." Plans are underway for her to star as Marmee in a Broadway musical version of Little Women later this year. | <urn:uuid:b09bbd83-a28e-4053-98c7-c7ca491bab1d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://americanprofile.com/articles/maureen-mcgovern-singer/ | 2023-09-23T17:03:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.975348 | 296 |

Quantum Computing and QML
Quantum computing serves as the foundation for quantum machine learning. It employs the principles of quantum mechanics to perform computations using quantum bits, or qubits . Understanding the fundamentals of quantum computing is essential to comprehend the potential of quantum machine learning.
Quantum bits, or qubits, are the building blocks of quantum computing. Unlike classical bits that represent information as either 0 or 1, qubits can exist in a superposition of states, simultaneously representing both 0 and 1. This property allows quantum algorithms to process and analyze information in parallel, providing the potential for exponential speedup compared to classical computations .
Quantum gates and circuits manipulate qubits to perform quantum computations. These gates, such as the Hadamard gate and the CNOT gate, enable the transformation and entanglement of qubits, facilitating complex calculations. Quantum circuits are sequences of quantum gates that define the flow of quantum operations.
Quantum algorithms designed for machine learning tasks demonstrate the potential of quantum computing. Examples include quantum support vector machines and quantum neural networks. These algorithms leverage the unique properties of qubits, such as superposition and entanglement, to provide computational advantages for tasks like classification, clustering, and regression.
Types of qubits
In quantum computing, qubits are the fundamental units of information that can exist in superposition states, enabling the processing of quantum information. Several types of qubits have been proposed and implemented, each utilizing different physical systems . Here are some common types of qubits:
- Superconducting Qubits: Superconducting qubits are based on circuits made of superconducting materials, such as niobium. They operate at extremely low temperatures, close to absolute zero, to maintain superconductivity. Examples include the transmon qubit, flux qubit, and phase qubit. Superconducting qubits are widely used in various quantum computing platforms.
- Trapped Ion Qubits: Trapped ion qubits utilize individual ions confined in electromagnetic traps. The internal energy levels of ions act as qubit states, and their manipulation is achieved using laser pulses. Ions such as trapped calcium, magnesium, or ytterbium are commonly used. Trapped ion qubits have achieved remarkable control and coherence times, making them a promising qubit implementation.
- Topological Qubits: Topological qubits are a type of qubit that relies on the topological properties of certain materials, such as topological insulators or Majorana fermions. These qubits are robust against certain types of noise and errors due to their inherent protection provided by topology. Topological qubits are still under active research and development.
- Quantum Dot Qubits: Quantum dot qubits are based on semiconductor nanostructures that trap electrons in quantum dots. The spin states of the trapped electrons serve as qubits, and their manipulation is achieved through electrostatic gates and magnetic fields. Quantum dot qubits have the advantage of compatibility with existing semiconductor technologies, making them attractive for integration with classical electronic circuits.
- Photon Qubits: Photon qubits are qubits encoded in the states of photons, which are particles of light. Photons can be manipulated using various techniques, such as quantum optics and linear optics elements like beam splitters and wave plates. Photon qubits are well-suited for long-distance communication and quantum information processing using optical systems.
- Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Qubits: NMR qubits utilize the nuclear spins of molecules as qubits. These qubits are manipulated and measured using radiofrequency pulses and NMR techniques. NMR qubits have been extensively used for quantum simulation and small-scale quantum computing experiments.
- Diamond Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) Centers: NV centers in diamond are defects in the crystal lattice where a nitrogen atom replaces a carbon atom, and an adjacent carbon vacancy exists. The electronic and nuclear spin states of the NV centers serve as qubits. These qubits can be controlled and read out using magnetic fields and laser pulses. NV centers are attractive due to their long coherence times and potential for applications in sensing and quantum information processing.
Hybrid Quantum-Classical Models
Hybrid quantum-classical models combine the strengths of both quantum computing and classical machine learning techniques. These models provide a promising approach for solving complex problems that require a balance between quantum processing power and classical control.
Variational quantum algorithms form a prominent class of hybrid models. They employ a combination of classical optimization and quantum computations to solve optimization problems. The Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) is an example of a variational quantum algorithm widely used in machine learning tasks.
Quantum-classical neural networks integrate quantum elements into classical neural network architectures. These networks leverage the power of quantum processing for tasks such as image recognition, generative modeling, and pattern recognition. The synergy between quantum and classical components in these networks offers the potential for improved performance and novel applications.
Challenges of Quantum Computing
While quantum machine learning holds great promise, several challenges must be addressed to realize its full potential.
Scalability and qubit limitations are significant challenges in quantum computing. Current quantum hardware faces constraints in terms of the number of qubits and error rates. Developing scalable quantum architectures and improving qubit stability and coherence are ongoing research efforts.
Noise, decoherence, and error correction are critical factors in quantum computing. Quantum systems are susceptible to noise and decoherence, which can lead to errors in computations.

Algorithm design and optimization are essential for quantum machine learning. Developing efficient quantum algorithms for machine learning problems and optimizing quantum circuits and gate sequences pose significant challenges. Bridging the gap between theoretical algorithms and practical implementations is an active area of research.
Variational quantum algorithms (VQAs)
Variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) are a class of algorithms that leverage the power of variational quantum circuits to solve computational problems. VQAs combine the principles of variational optimization and quantum computing to find solutions to optimization, machine learning, and simulation tasks.
VQAs is a hybrid quantum-classical method in which a quantum processor prepares quantum states and a classical computer performs measurement and optimisation. VQAs are regarded as the optimal algorithm for NISQ because they are noise-tolerant in comparison to other algorithms and provide quantum superiority with only a few hundred qubits.
Researchers have investigated circuit-based algorithms for solving optimization problems and determining the ground state energy of complex systems, which were challenging to solve or required a significant amount of time to compute on a conventional computer.
Variational quantum circuits (VQCs)
The key idea behind VQCs is to parameterize the quantum circuit using adjustable parameters, often referred to as variational parameters. These parameters serve as the variables that are optimized during the training process. By adjusting these parameters, the circuit can explore different quantum states and generate a variety of outputs.
The structure of a VQC typically consists of layers of quantum gates, each followed by measurements or additional quantum operations. The gates in the circuit act on specific qubits, often with entangling operations that create quantum correlations among the qubits.
Variational quantum circuits provide a flexible and adaptable framework for combining quantum computations with classical optimization methods. They offer a promising approach to solving complex problems in quantum machine learning, optimization, and quantum chemistry simulations. Ongoing research aims to improve the robustness, scalability, and performance of VQCs, bringing us closer to unlocking their full potential in practical quantum applications.

Quantum-enhanced reinforcement learning (QERL) is an exciting field that combines the principles of reinforcement learning (RL) with the potential advantages offered by quantum computing. QERL aims to leverage the unique properties of quantum systems, such as superposition and entanglement, to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of RL algorithms.
During the process of quantum-enhanced reinforcement learning, a quantum agent interacts with a classical or quantum environment and occasionally obtains rewards for its activities. This enables the agent to modify its behavior; in other words, it is able to learn what to do in order to gain additional rewards. In some circumstances, either as a result of the agent’s capacity for quantum processing or as a consequence of the possibility of investigating the surroundings in superpositions.
The subject of machine learning has reached a new threshold with the development of quantum machine learning, which utilizes the power of quantum computing to solve difficult issues and investigate novel approaches to data representation and computation. The issues that are involved with quantum computing may not be going away too soon; nevertheless, continued research and breakthroughs in quantum technologies provide hope that these challenges can be overcome.

We are home! The snow wasn't so bad. What was everyone complaining about? Wednesday morning, we took Aden to Sugar Sand Park in Boca. We were here last year with Lisa and Matt. It's really an amazing place.
Amy took Aden on the merry go round. It makes me sick! He loved it.
Then it was time to really play.
It's like the castle in Doylestown, but even cooler!
Aden ran right up to the top. No fear!
There was cool stuff everywhere.
Ok, time to hit the beach!
Finally, a beach day!
It was crowded.
We weren't sure what to expect but Aden ran right on and wanted to play.
Fun with grandpop.
He got close to the water but wouldn't touch it. It was actually warmer than the air!
He found a giant lobster!
We went down to Ft. Lauderdale for dinner then came back to pack. | <urn:uuid:32f9a4ad-25e1-41fc-a43c-35b79f99bf87> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://amyjerry.blogspot.com/2010/12/bye-florida.html | 2023-09-23T16:49:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.986868 | 205 |
Crack the [SECRET] Code
A foundational interactive course designed for stepparents to be able to fast-track their progress within their own families.
Without knowing you at all I can just guess that this is not the first thing that you have tried in order to improve your daily life as a stepparent.
You are here because the things you've tried ...didn't work. Or they didn't work enough.
It's probably not your fault. You were offered solutions that are probably decent solutions but they don't work without the foundational knowledge. It's like trying to open a locked door without a key (with enough hard effort you might be able to do it but it's a lot easier if you have the key. Not just any key though ...it needs to be the correct key for the door.
Crack the code is unique
This is a group coaching program made specifically for stepparents and people thinking about becoming stepparents. That all by itself makes it special.
It's not a parenting course though. It's a life coaching course.
I created this course after coaching many stepparents individually and observing that my clients experienced exponential improvement towards their goals when they understood these specific foundational skills.
This is a very broad overview of the modules you'll find inside the Crack the Code Course.
This course is offered as an asynchronous group program. Amy leads a group of students through the modules and offers individualized support and attention but also each student completes the curriculum on their own. This allows for privacy which is helpful for personal family situations.
About your instructor, Amy.
Amy Stone is a life coach and the creator of the coaching company Amy Says So. She is the author of the book, Blend!. She is herself a stepmom and a mom. All of her kids are grown or nearly grown. She has decades of personal experience.
Before she was a life coach for stepparents Amy did fitness coaching for adult runners and triathlon because running is her lifelong hobby and it was a career that fit well into the requirements of her life with her big blended family.
Amy was trained and certified as a life coach by the University for Life Coach Training (ULCT). Nobody was more surprised than her when she decided to begin coaching other stepmoms. That's not true. Amy's husband was very surprised and more than a little bit concerned about the whole thing.
Amy is deeply committed to her work with stepparents because she knows how challenging this journey is and how tough it was for her to find support. She feels that stepparents deserve quality support to help them live their own best lives.
Amy lives in sunny Miami, Florida. She loves sunshine and the beaches. She loves cultures and languages and speaks and is a lifelong student of languages. When she isn't helping stepparents find happiness empowerment and fulfillment she might be out for a run or a walk, reading a book, listening to music or experimenting in the kitchen.
Pricing for Crack the Code
you get the entire course for just $9.
This is not a typo. It's a new course with totally new content, a new tech platform and really just everything is new.
* What does asynchronous mean? This means that while all the participants are on the same schedule there are no required live events. Each week a training module is opened up for you and you can access the materials whenever it is convenient to you. Amy contacts each registrant by email weekly and offers direct support for your questions. You do NOT need to attend a live session to have questions answered.
* How is privacy protected in a group course? Amy interacts with each participant directly. No personal or confidential information is shared between participants.
* What about refunds and guarantees. Amy stands behind the information that is offered in this course. She will do her own personal best to deliver a great experience for you. This is a life coaching course and it is also a digital course. It is factual to say that you will get out of it what you put in. On the other hand Amy herself has purchased online courses that she wished she hadn't so if you don't think it's worth the price you are welcome to ask for a refund and she'll be happy to consider it. | <urn:uuid:fe07a88f-39e3-4669-9389-326af7110444> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://amysaysso.com/crackthecodereg/ | 2023-09-23T17:40:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.975827 | 889 |
Time management is something that those of us with ADHD really struggle with. Time is a fluid concept for us; an hour is either long or short, depending on what we’re doing. I find it impossible to grasp the idea that others experience each and every hour as having the same length.
Using the concept of chunking is one way to get some control over your time and add structure to your day. (Even if you work outside the home, most people’s jobs are no so rigid as to control each minute of the day.)
Here’s how chunking works: there are some things that you do every day, no matter what. And there are other things that you should do, or need to do, most of which occur on some sort of regular basis. For instance, brushing your teeth is a twice a day event, but seeing the dentist is twice a year.
Write down a list of things you do or should do every day – that’s the best way to start. Then take a piece of paper and list the hours of the day down the side. You might find it helpful to start with the time you go to bed at night, or get up in the morning. You can do just the hours, or add half hours, too, if that helps.
Then, across the top, list the things you do (or should do) each day. Use a highlighter to block off the time you spend doing each thing.
Now here’s where the trouble begins. It’s easy to block off sleep, or work, but what about things like checking your email, or cleaning the bathroom? Lots of things in our day have to be done every day (or on some regular basis), but no one tells you when they need to be done. The result? They don’t get done, at least not consistently.
So, start by blocking off the things that have a built in time schedule. Now look at what you have left. (You might want to do a separate sheet for work, but you can do it on the same page if it’s not confusing for you.)
OK, so you’ve got things like checking your email and cleaning the bathroom on your list. Maybe you have some phone calls to make, some errands to run, and laundry to do.
Here’s how you work those things in: set aside a chunk of time for each task. You check your email probably constantly all day long :). From now on, set aside 2 or 3 times a day to check and respond. maybe first thing in the morning, and then mid-afternoon. If you’re at work, you can even add a note to your emails letting people know when you check it, so they will know when to expect a response.
Do this with everything you’ve got on your list. Turn this into a system. Errands are always taken care of on Thursday afternoon. Phone calls are made from 10:00-11:30 each morning. Throw a load of laundry in before you leave in the morning, in the dryer while dinner is cooking, and fold it while you’re watching tv.
Get your family used to your new schedule, and stick to it. You might want to post it on the fridge or bulletin board. Give chunking a try and see what you think.

How Families Can Deal With Addiction
When one member of the family is diagnosed with substance use disorder, the problem ripples within the family circle. It does not mean that all members of families living with addiction will be an addict as well. Rather it emphasizes the role of the family as a genuine source of moral support. From this standpoint, addiction is taken as a family concern and just a problem of an individual.
Through this concept, therapists and psychologists tend to ask these questions to the client:
- Who are close to you?
- Who are the people whom you consider as your family?
- To whom do you run for advice and comfort when you are down?
- Who matters most to you?
These questions help the therapist pinpoint the vital support group of the client. This will then be the source of emotional and moral support through the entire treatment session.
What Are the Features of a Family?
Here are some important psychological and social features of a family.
- Balance: A family has an innate trait of maintaining balance and harmony within the group despite one member being mentally and physically ill.
- Role Model: It is observed that a behavior or action of one family member can affect the personality and routine of other members of the family. Taking that into consideration, the therapist would use the family in influencing the client’s bad routine, turning it into a healthy one.
- Practicality: Members of the family are very accessible and reliable for the patient’s sake. Nonetheless, a family would always think of the group’s general welfare and not just that of the individual.
- Cohesive Communication: Whether verbal or non-verbal language, the family can express their care and support to the patient. This, in turn, motivates the patient to finish the treatment and gain back sobriety.
The Use of Family for Therapeutic Intervention
Talking to an addicted family member is such a fragile situation that even family members must be cautious and not demanding. When a family is used for intervention, there are two goals to achieve:
- Letting the client gain awareness between the connection of substance abuse and life problems, and
- Convincing the client to undergo addiction treatment.
When family members and friends talk to their loved one, topics about blame and shame must be avoided as it can worsen the situation.
The family must never be aggressive in their tone when talking. They must show genuine empathy and concern for the betterment of the client.
The client must be slowly made aware of the physical and mental health consequences of abusing substances. Alongside this, they must be gradually moved to inpatient rehab treatment to recover from addiction.
Going for rehab treatment is never a simple and easy task both for the client and the family. However, working hand in hand with a therapist and continued moral support towards the client, the entire process will have a higher chance of long term success.
Below are some of the roles played by one’s therapist:
- Academic guidance counselor
- Spiritual guide
- Licensed Interventionist
What Are the Different Family-Driven Treatment Interventions?
Therapists and psychologists have recognized the great impact of a family intervention on the welfare and recovery of clients struggling with addiction. Various rehab facilities have adapted family intervention in their treatments, and below are its three types:
- Direct intervention with the patient’s family members
- Mixed treatment programs for the patient and their family
- Separate therapy session for the affected family of the addict
How Family Relationship is Influenced by Addiction
In general, when a family member suffers addiction, it creates a disruptive effect on the family’s ties. By that, it tends to disturb the balance of the family’s emotional, physical, psychological, and financial condition.
The family members’ feelings are usually hurt in all aspects as the patient tends to inflict pain and break their trust. This is the main reason why family therapy is needed along with the rehab treatment of the patient member.
What Is the Status of Underage Addiction in the United States
According to the study conducted by the National Survey on Drug Use and Health in 2014, around 30 percent of teens aged 12 years and older are engaged in binge drinking. Meanwhile, ten percent of that same general teen population are heavy drinkers.
In terms of substance abuse, around 21.5 million American teens ages 12 years and older are reported to have such a condition. From this population, 2.6 million teens are engaged in both illicit drugs and alcohol use disorder.
Unfortunately, there is a growing population of teens engaging in this unhealthy behavior and several factors are contributing to it. Nevertheless, it is a fact that addiction destroys the balance and harmony in a family.
What Are the Common Symptoms of Addiction
For further guidance, here are the most evident traits to see for a family member suffering from drug addiction.
- Highly impulsive
- Uncontrollable rage
- Tends to isolate oneself from the group
- Feeling down and depressed
- Low health condition and hygiene
- Cannot do focused eye contact
- Laughs out of the blue without a solid reason
- Presence of blood or red color on the eyes
- Work and School Signs
- Low work performance
- Grades are dropping
- Unexplained absences
- Inability to comply with deadlines and school works
When a person suffers from substance abuse and alcoholism, it is quite inevitable to involve one’s family in the intervention. Family plays an important role in letting the client feel important and loved by others. This boosts the client’s confidence and motivation to recover from this disorder.
Seek medical advice from a professional drug rehab to undergo rehab treatment. Recovery will always start from within and is further supported by family and other support groups. | <urn:uuid:5581dbee-78e7-4f05-9898-9859615c44a5> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://anaheimlighthouse.com/community/how-families-can-deal-with-addiction/ | 2023-09-23T17:01:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.951908 | 1,222 |
