For a second consecutive year, friendly and knowledgeable staff continues to be the key driver to higher satisfaction among specialty coffee retailer customers, according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2013 Specialty Coffee Retailer Satisfaction Report released on 4 April.
Now in its second year, the report measures overall customer satisfaction among US specialty coffee retailers by examining five key factors. These factors were, in order of importance, staff (34 per cent), merchandise (23 per cent), cost (18 per cent), facility (14 per cent) and sales/promotions (11 per cent). In 2013, overall satisfaction with specialty coffee retailers averages 810 points (on a 1,000-point scale), an increase of four points from 806 in 2012, J.D. Power said in a statement. “Staff friendliness and positive interaction with the customer are keys to achieving high levels of satisfaction,” said Sally Lombardo, Director of Research Pperations at J.D. Power and Associates, in a statement. “A specialty coffee retailer whose staff learns to master these skills may not only achieve high customer satisfaction, but also benefit from positive recommendations, customer loyalty and attachment to the brand.” The report finds that customers spend an average of US$7.31 per visit to a specialty coffee retailer. The average amount of time customers spend in the checkout line is 6.3 minutes. Among the seven brands included in the report, Dutch Bros. Coffee ranks highest in overall satisfaction for a second year, with a score of 824. Dutch Bros. also performs particularly well in the staff, sales/promotions and cost factors. Following Dutch Bros. Coffee in the rankings are Seattle's Best Coffee (812) and Starbucks Coffee (811), both outperforming the industry average (810). The report noted that customer satisfaction with specialty coffee retailers may equate to customer loyalty, as 52 per cent of highly satisfied customers say they “definitely will” recommend and “definitely will” repurchase their brand. In addition, 34 per cent of highly satisfied customers indicate they are “highly” committed to their specialty coffee retailer brand. Among Dutch Bros. Coffee customers, 56 per cent say they “definitely will” repurchase and 58 per cent “definitely will” recommend the brand to family and friends, both significantly higher than the industry averages (52 per cent) and are the highest among brands ranked in the report.
“Dutch Bros. Coffee is exceptional at creating an experience that resonates with their high-intensity customer base, which results in their very high loyalty and satisfaction ranking,” said Lombardo. “Being able to provide a hip, fun experience to customers with a local and unique feel helps Dutch Bros. Coffee continue to differentiate itself from its competitors year over year.” The 2013 Specialty Coffee Retailer Satisfaction Report is based on responses of more than 3,100 customers who purchased any product or beverage at a brick-and-mortar specialty coffee retailer in the 30 days prior to being surveyed. The report was fielded in December 2012 to 2 January 2013. Brands included in this report have revenue that exceeds US$35 million and have at least 100 locations. | <urn:uuid:ecc42276-ba35-49f9-be90-a6bddeaa74ff> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.gcrmag.com/jd-power-specialty-coffee-report-highlights-staff-as-key-driver-in-us-cus/ | 2023-09-23T18:48:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.953541 | 658 |

Edwardian dating around 1900, turquoise cabochons pulsing with summer sky blues pair with nighttime motifs of crescent moons.
In sizes that graduate, the 3.15 carats of turquoise cabochons arch across the finger east and west. Itty bitty rose cut diamonds are placed between them at their tips.
Unusually, crescent moons of gold shine on the faces of the under gallery. Spirals rest at the sides. Artful details appoint the outer shoulders before transitioning to a shank with a raised central curve.
In 18k gold, this one is substantial for its type, and the colors are glorious. | <urn:uuid:3820de74-0cb3-4945-9a8e-8e8a0fe8c036> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.georgianjewelry.com/items/show/21619-sun-moon-antique-five-turquoise-ring | 2023-09-23T17:33:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.915135 | 136 |
This recipe has been a favourite at my house for over 40 years. The butterscotch chips create the flavour, and no two brands taste the same. Try various brands of chips to see what you prefer.
Preheat oven to 350°
1 cup of shortening or lard
1½ cups of packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of soda
2 cups of flour
1 cup of butterscotch chips
2 cups of Corn Flakes
Using an electric mixer, cream together the shortening, brown sugar, and eggs. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, soda, and salt. Blend the flour mixture into the creamed mixture, and add chips and cornflakes.
Drop cookie dough by tablespoonsful, 3 inches apart, onto oiled, or parchment papered cookie sheets. There is no need to flatten them. Bake the cookies at 350° for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Leaving the cookies in a thick pile and cooking for only 12 minutes results in a softer cookie.
On occasion, I had replaced shortening with butter in this recipe, and the resulting cookies had a different texture and a tendency to burn. Lard and vegetable shortening have a higher burning point and no water content. It’s fun to experiment and discover your preference.
Plan a cookie party or package a few treats to go.

When people start to date, It's pretty much an unspoken rule that you would do anything for each other.
As I can tell by my BF's responses to my ridiculousness, I suppose he didn't read the fine print on that "dating me" contract I politely provided for him.
Ugh, as if.
1. He Would have Be your personal photographer and you'd be so proud when he finally figured out the "good" lighting
2. He Would 100% need to be in all snapchats with you-matching filters and all.
3. You require constant affection otherwise you'll implode and probably die
4. You are always hungry.
5. You need about 78 naps a day.
6. But if he thinks you need a nap because you're being moody - shut it down. he's wrong.
7. Without a doubt, every dog you see in public needs to be greeted and pet.
8. You are still hungry.
9. He should know what you want to eat regardless of how many times you "don't know"
10. He Would be dating literally every one of your friends, too
11. And Your friends will refer to him as "dad"
12. You Would alternate Turns to choose which movies to watch. Okay soooo maybe you don't alternate.
Oh wait not that one. No I don't like scary.
2019 Resolution *Check*
13. HE Would develop a special part of the brain to remember all your dumb girl drama
14. He may never get his sweatpants back... Or that flannel...Or that one band tee that looks super cute on you.
15. You somehow never have anything to wear, although you have enough clothes to dress a small country.
16. Jealous? you? Hah! Never. Oh but he should totally unfollow 97% of the girls he follows on instagram. not for me, for um, spring cleaning that's kinda, sorta coming up.
17. Despite all he has to keep up with, he loves you and your ~nonsense~ logic anyway. (oh But you totally love him more, especially because he doesn't have the ability to reply back to this.) | <urn:uuid:fab18f53-3aed-4b8a-88b6-cc80a9a2ab6f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.getchicbynicole.com/single-post/2018/01/09/16-things-your-bf-wish-he-knew-when-he-signed-up-to-date-you | 2023-09-23T16:59:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.97595 | 466 |
On December 20, 2021, the Department of Justice announced that they would be opening up $1.6 billion in grant awards to law enforcement and public safety agencies across the county. The funds will be issued to agencies that are ready to work more efficiently and reduce violent crime faster than ever before—and strengthen their communities along the way.
The Office of Justice Programs are designed to provide training, technical support and ongoing resources, such as grant funds, to improve our nation’s fight against crime and commitment to upholding the law and our rights. Yet all too often, agencies are unaware or have overlooked the value that these programs can provide for their teams. A little education can go a long way, and hopefully this article will help your agency discover the possibilities for making your team even stronger!
OJP Grant Awards to Reduce Crime and Build True Interoperability
As explained by Attorney General Garland, “This latest round of funding will deliver critical public safety resources, helping public safety professionals, victim service providers, local agencies and nonprofit organizations confront these serious challenges.”
Moving toward true interoperability has proven to be the most logical “next step” for advancing these public safety and reducing crime. When agencies can connect with other first responders and law enforcement throughout their region, and even across the state, they become more effective in addressing the safety concerns that affect their communities most.
In order to achieve interoperability, though, agencies need a communications solution that finally puts everyone on the same page, collaborating in one single place. That solution is Evertel. And it’s arguably the most relevant and meaningful resource for agencies to present to the DOJ to secure these new grant funds. Because Evertel allows agencies pursue new means of interoperability and work more efficiently, the solution clearly answers the primary goals of the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grants Program, in particular:
- Working faster to prevent and reduce crime
- Advancing racial equity in the pursuit of justice
- Caring for victims and enhance the rule of law
Adopting the Evertel app as your agency’s go-to platform for communications not only helps instantly align your process with the state and federal records retention requirements, it also allows you to streamline your public safety efforts across the board. Your officers and management will be sharing intelligence in real-time, which means faster responses and better coordination. You’ll be able to seamlessly collaborate with your neighboring agencies to address violent crime, pool your resources, and increase officer safety across the board.

It’s Easy to Get Started. We Can Help!
Law enforcement needs a secure communications solution that’s actually compliant and custom-built for this industry and line of work. What’s more—we need a platform that provides instant messaging. Reducing crime in our communities starts with great collaboration and communication. Less radio chatter. No more endless email chains.
The Evertel app lets you organize all of your conversations in designated chatrooms. This makes it simple to establish a clear chain of command for any investigation, as well as disaster and crisis events. Team members can even review any and all of the updates that occurred while off-shit. That way, no one is ever left out of the loop.
It’s time to secure new grant funding for your agency—with Evertel. Just contact us to get started. Our team has already helped one client (based in Mississippi) secure funds from one of these grants for new agency funding. We’d be more than happy to work with your agency too.
The grant application process is relatively straightforward. And we’ll make it even easier for you because we can reference our past success. Let us show you how to author the grant for the best possible outcome! | <urn:uuid:87028ddc-3315-49a8-821c-40f827c30c92> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.getevertel.com/justice-department-1-6-billion-le-grant-announcement-get-evertel-to-reduce-violent-crime/ | 2023-09-23T18:14:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.940362 | 786 |

Horizon Netflix Series Is Bringing Aloy To Life In Live-Action
Video games making the transition to the small screen is the latest trend in TV production. Now, a Horzion Netflix series is poised to bring Aloy to life in live-action, and a whole new generation of fans to tie into the success of the franchise's two games.
The Last of Us peeking over the horizon is giving a lot of fans hope that Joel and Ellie's story could breach the mainstream, but there has been a big recent miss with Halo's Paramount+ series. It's shaky ground, but the opportunity to truly break through is there. It's clear that Sony's efforts aren't stopping with The Last of Us - because another of its franchises is coming to TV.
Is A Horizon Netflix Series On The Way?
As reported by ResetEra user Nightengale - who claimed to be watching Sony's business briefing at the time of posting - Sony confirmed its suspected God of War TV series, as well as new shows based on the Horizon and Gran Turismo series.
Supposedly, the Horizon Netflix series will be headed to the streaming service, which means it will sit alongside the might of the Henry Cavill-led Witcher. It's a surprising turn away from God of War, with all sides claiming it'll be landing on Prime Video. Finally, the idea of a Gran Turismo series is yet to find a home.
This is great news, not just for video game fans at large, but fans of the Horizon series. The world created by Guerilla Games in 2017's Horizon Zero Dawn and 2022's Horizon Forbidden West is vast and gorgeous. In the right hands, it could very easily make the jump to live-action in style.
Who Will Star In The Horizon Netflix Series?
Naturally, the question has now turned to who exactly should bring Aloy to live-action - but we're still firmly team Ashly Burch on this one. The voice actor for Aloy has more than proved that she can bring her acting talents to live-action with her role in Mythic Quest, so who's to say that she can't get involved in some action as well?
Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Sadie Sink, and Rose Leslie are all names that have been thrown around online, but we'll just have to wait until the show enters production to find out. Horizon has a fascinating world that could well adapt nicely to the small screen if we have a big enough budget, so we're excited to see how things turn out. Let's hope it doesn't go the way of Halo, mind. | <urn:uuid:85a82625-a398-4e5d-be59-fda5e53ea208> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.ggrecon.com/articles/horizon-netflix-series-is-bringing-aloy-to-life-in-live-action/ | 2023-09-23T18:51:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.964903 | 534 |
(...continued from the previous page)|
we would meet up and normally spend the day together having tea and female conversation. One afternoon we were sitting in her kitchen, the baby was asleep in the next room, her husband was at work and her other kids were at school.
She started talking about seeing some strange things and having strange experiences in her house that had her scared, not wanting to be alone. She was half way through explaining to me a certain incident when the cellar door
behind me was being pounded on from inside the cellar, almost breaking the door off the hinges.|
We grabbed the baby and got the hell out of there.
When I left York she was still in the house but she was somehow changed. I hope she got out of that place before something bad happened.|

My friends and I take walks in the woods right behind my house and every time we go up there we always see figures of a man dressed in a black suit and an old top hat, every time you go into the woods there is that man that looks angry.

For ten years, Marvell Technology has been part of Vietnam’s semiconductor industry, which is growing at over 11% per year. Today, we announced we’re expanding our R&D and design efforts in the country as well as the Marvell Excellence Scholarship program aimed at nurturing the brightest students pursuing degrees in engineering and computer science. The announcements came at the U.S.-Vietnam Innovation and Investment Summit in Hanoi attended by President Joseph Biden and Marvell Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Matt Murphy.
In line with India's current ambitions to develop a semiconductor ecosystem in the country, many global companies have been increasing investments and expanding presence here. Recently, AMD announced plans to set up its largest design center in the South Indian city, Bangalore. Intel has also underscored India's rapid growth as a once-in-a-generation occurrence.
Now, US-based Marvell Technology is planning to boost their presence with a new office in the city of Pune, along with new initiatives.

Queek’d, an online dating directory and comparison platform founded by Elisa McLean, has just received an investment of £30,000.
The business secured the investment from Norwegian investor Ingvard Busengdal after McLean pitched last year.
When we spoke to McLean in 2015, the founder described the platform as “an online dating efficiency platform that gives users one central location for accessing all things related to dating.”
The Manchester-based site has since become more of a dating comparison platform, letting users input their dating site preferences – such as monthly membership fee, favoured tech and niche – then comparing various dating services.
And after launching in early 2016, the company has partnered with dating brands like Cupid, Bumble, eHarmony, Match.com and Elite Singles.
In addition to this service, Queek’d also gives dating advice, offers from local dinner date partners and exclusive subscription discounts through its newsletter.
Speaking about the latest investment, McLean said: “Being single myself I am now so passionate about helping other singles, which definitely came across when pitching to my investor.
“I was so pleased that Ingvard could see my vision and the investment will help us gain more users and allow us to plan for phase two which I’m really excited about.”
Queek’d’s founder said the investment will help the business prepare for crowdfunding, as the company readies a set of exclusive competitions in the run up to Valentine’s Day, and further product releases in the second half of 2017.
McLean said: “It’s an exciting time for queek’d. There are a few sites that are looking to join queek’d in the next few months and we have several brand ambassadors on board who all support what we do.
“The investment we have received will help us develop the product further so we can reach even more users, and hopefully direct them to love and their future partners and soul mates.”

The Benefits of Investing in High-Quality Down Duvets
There is nothing quite like sinking into a bed adorned with a high-quality down duvet after a long and tiring day. The softness, comfort, and warmth they provide make down duvets a popular choice among individuals seeking a good night's sleep. Investing in a high-quality down duvet not only enhances your sleep experience but also offers a range of benefits that you may not be aware of. In this article, we will delve into these advantages and explain why choosing a high-quality down duvet is a wise investment for your sleep and overall well-being.
1. Supreme Comfort and Luxurious Feel:
One of the primary reasons to invest in a high-quality down duvet is the unparalleled comfort and luxurious feel it offers. Unlike synthetic or alternative fillings, down is extremely soft, lightweight, and airy. Its fluffy nature creates a cloud-like sensation, enveloping your body in warmth without feeling heavy or restrictive. The high thread count of the duvet cover further enhances the overall comfort, allowing you to drift into a peaceful slumber.
2. Excellent Insulation and Temperature Regulation:
A significant advantage of down duvets is their excellent insulation properties. The unique structure of down clusters allows them to trap air effectively, creating a pocket of warmth around your body. This natural insulation retains heat during the colder seasons, ensuring you stay cozy and snug throughout the night. Additionally, down duvets possess exceptional breathability, allowing excess heat and moisture to escape, preventing overheating and perspiration. This breathability factor makes down duvets suitable for all seasons, as they regulate temperature effectively.
3. Longevity and Durability:
Investing in a high-quality down duvet ensures long-term durability and value for your money. Genuine down is highly resilient, capable of maintaining its loft and shape with proper care. High-quality down duvets are crafted with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring the down clusters retain their shape and do not clump together. Opting for a duvet with premium stitching and strong seams prevents the down from shifting unevenly, ensuring its longevity. With proper care, a high-quality down duvet can last for many years, making it a worthwhile investment for your sleep sanctuary.
4. Hypoallergenic and Allergy-Friendly:
Contrary to common misconceptions, high-quality down duvets can be hypoallergenic and allergy-friendly. Reputed manufacturers employ rigorous processes to clean the down, eliminating any allergens and irritants. The cleaning process ensures that the duvet is free from dust mites, molds, and other allergens, making it suitable for individuals with allergies or asthma. It is crucial to choose a down duvet from a trusted source and opt for those labeled as hypoallergenic to ensure a safe and sound sleep environment.
5. Environmentally Friendly and Sustainable:
For eco-conscious individuals, investing in a high-quality down duvet brings the added benefit of being environmentally friendly and sustainable. Ethically sourced down is a byproduct of the food industry and ensures that the feathers are collected without any harm to animals. Responsible manufacturers follow strict regulations and standards to ensure the down is sourced sustainably. By choosing a down duvet, you are supporting ethical practices and reducing your carbon footprint.
Investing in a high-quality down duvet is an investment that goes beyond a good night's sleep. With their supreme comfort, excellent insulation and temperature regulation, durability, hypoallergenic properties, and sustainability, down duvets offer a range of benefits that make them a top choice for bedding. Experience the luxury and warmth of a high-quality down duvet today and transform your sleep into a truly blissful experience. Remember to research reputable brands, inquire about their materials and production processes, and choose a duvet that suits your preferences and sleep needs. Rest assured, your investment in a high-quality down duvet will pay off in the form of enhanced sleep quality, comfort, and overall well-being..Rongda is a professional down feather manufacturer and supplier in China, specializing in Duck Down, Goose Down, Duck Feather and Goose Feather, welcome to contact us! | <urn:uuid:82c151ab-6aa8-43ec-8b92-567eebea3f64> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.globaldownfeathers.com/a-news-the-benefits-of-investing-in-high-quality-down-duvets | 2023-09-23T18:51:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.923353 | 885 |
A GG micro-grant has helped Moya Centre initiate a Covid-19 emergency response plan. Now we must scale it up. We have a responsibility as a community-based org. to support those who are in desperate need of assistance during this unprecedented time. With a national lock down in place to flatten the curve, many guardians of Moya children are out of work. Moya has switched gears to provide immediate relief in the form of food and hygiene parcels, as well as education, for families most in need.
Although the lock down is necessary to keep us safe, communities like the ones we serve are hit hardest economically during such unprecedented times. The guardians of most Moya beneficiaries live day-to-day. And now with no income or supplemental resources, there will be no food or proper hygiene on the homestead. Also, many children rely on school to provide them with lunch, an expense families are not prepared to cover. Moya has a duty to step in and help, and that is exactly what we will do.
Moya Centre is usually focused 100% on carrying out sustainable initiatives. What we are dealing with now is very different than the work we normally do. The circumstance has forced us to switch gears and provide humanitarian assistance/relief to children and their families who are already involved with Moya in some capacity. This project provides children with basic food and hygiene items to last a month. This approach allows us to help more kids while uncertain of lock down period.
This project will take stress off of already struggling families. It will keep families together at home during the lock down, instead of guardians leaving their children to find piece jobs, risking their health, just to afford food. It will ensure homesteads are more hygienic. While distributing, Moya staff is also education community members on how to stay safe and healthy during this time. This pandemic shows us another side of community-based orgs, as we know best who need support the most. | <urn:uuid:672c13e9-a050-4528-8b84-94330afd66e5> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/emergency-response-to-covid-19-in-moya-communities/ | 2023-09-23T17:52:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.966514 | 453 |

2023 Tour Details
Icelandic folklore maintains there are clans of elves and trolls living in the country’s extraordinary hills, rocky outcrops, and lava fields. Will you meet these “Huldufólk” or “Hidden People” rumored to dislike churches, daylight, and electricity? Hard to say. But here’s what you will see on this breathtaking tour of Iceland—active volcanoes, roaring waterfalls, jagged glaciers, floating icebergs, black-sand beaches, and brilliant-blue geothermal springs. Unique, local experiences await in the “Land of Fire and Ice,” including tasting piping hot bread baked by the heat from the hot springs, sipping Geysir schnapps served at freezing point, and standing in awe before the spectacular Lake Jökulsárlón, home to Europe’s largest glacier and the site of some of the most dramatic scenes from the James Bond movie Die Another Day. The gargantuan sights in the land of the elves will surely leave you stirred, not shaken.

Santin third in G2 Kentucky Turf Cup
Santin emerged from his first attempt at a mile and a half with credit as he finished third in the G2 Kentucky Turf Cup at Kentucky Downs, USA, on Saturday, 9 September.
Trained by Brendan Walsh, the dual G1 winner was prominent throughout under Florent Geroux and raced in a clear second as Get Smokin established a four-length lead over the field.
Santin halved Get Smokin’s advantage with three-quarters of a mile to race, before Verstappen moved up to join the Godolphin five-year-old at the top of the straight.
Get Smokin continued to enjoy himself in front and galloped out strongly to prevail by a length and three-quarters. Santin rallied but was passed for second near the line by Spooky Channel, with Red Knight flashing home for a close fourth ahead of Verstappen. | <urn:uuid:84ddad9a-dd82-4b2f-9ee5-3effff776d0a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.godolphin.com/news/santin-third-in-g2-kentucky-turf-cup | 2023-09-23T18:50:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.971987 | 196 |
Travel rewards are a difficult conversation when hardly anyone is traveling. It gets even more complicated when annual fees and lost benefits, like complimentary annual hotel nights come into play, with no clear end date in sight.
To smooth things over, Marriott and American Express have added big spending benefits to their suite of Marriott Bonvoy American Express cards, including earning 10X points on things people find themselves buying locally.
Up To 75,000 Points From 10X Spending
After hooking cardmembers up with increased earning and statement credits for takeout, delivery and supermarket spending in May, June and July, Amex is back with fresh benefits for Marriott Bonvoy American Express Cards through the end of October, including…
- 10x at U.S. Gas Stations
- 10x at U.S. Restaurants
- 10x on eligible purchases at participating Marriott Bonvoy hotels
With everyone and their brother taking up the good ole’ American pastime of renting an RV and traveling in their own literal bubbles, that 10X at gas stations is sure to come in handy, as will the 10X at US restaurants.
Of course, restaurant take out would count too, if you’re still keeping your distance.
The offer is capped at a combined $7,500 in spending, for a grand total of up to 75,000 Marriott Bonvoy Points. With most Marriott Bonvoy hotels currently offering off peak points pricing for the foreseeable future, that could be quite a lucrative haul.
Yep, that $7,500 in spending could return a “free night” at a hotel with a $1000 a night value, by redeeming your points.
Best Place To Put Your Spending?
Many rewards cards are offering heightening spending offers to help ease the pain of lost travel, but 10X is a tough offer to pass up.
Marriott Bonvoy Points aren’t as valuable on a “per point” basis as American Express Membership Rewards, or other “flexible” bank points, but at 10x, you’re getting a fantastic return on spend, which rivals other current offers.
Here’s how Amex describes the offers…
How to Enroll:
- Eligible Card Members will receive an email communication with details on these offers, as well as terms and conditions.
- Card Members will be able to review and enroll in the offers via “Amex Offers” through their online account or the Amex Mobile app. They can enroll at any time during the offer period (August 3 – October 31, 2020).
- Each offer requires a separate enrollment for each Card Member.
- $7,500 cap on each category.
- After the $7,500 cap is reached Card Members will go back to the base earn for each category.
Cash back cards are another safe play, but for dining spend and US gas stations, this may be the go to card for the time being. The offers stand until October 31st, 2020, or until you hit the 75,000 point maximum, whichever comes first. | <urn:uuid:bc8e3b26-6a58-4a5f-8bcf-b8c9064254f3> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.godsavethepoints.com/amex-adds-10x-earning-categories-to-marriott-bonvoy-credit-cards/ | 2023-09-23T18:52:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.95273 | 640 |

Bassam Al-Sabah’s multimedia works reference feelings of displacement, nostalgia, war and 1980s Arabic-dubbed Japanese animé.
Ursula Burke works in a variety of media, including porcelain sculpture, embroidery and drawing. Much of her work deals with issues of representation and identity in contemporary Ireland, and she completed a practice-based PhD exploring these themes at the University of Ulster, Belfast, in 2011.
Her methodology often involves layering art historical references with the social and political. Recently much of her work has dealt with the psychosocial landscape of Northern Ireland following the Peace Process, exploring the unique slippages and schisms through which competing identities in the region are reproduced. She is also interested in abuses of power in many realms of the social and political in the West. Formally, her work appropriates tropes deeply invested in the Classical, and re-inserts them into the contemporary – her aim is to create a conceptual bridge between the Classical ‘ideal’ (in form/society) and post-conflict Northern Irish society. She often takes a Northern Irish context as a critical point of departure from which to generalise an approach to international concerns, like the Black Lives Matter campaign and the perceived success or failure of political enterprise.
Ursula Burke applied for a Golden Fleece Award in order to facilitate the production of new work in porcelain and textile sculpture on a much larger, monumental, scale using more complex and sophisticated production methods. The Award allowed her to invest in the materials, equipment, time and space required to create an ambitious new body of work. | <urn:uuid:88b8f54c-71d9-4ddc-8579-f8ed4b9290dc> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.goldenfleeceaward.com/artists/ursula-burke | 2023-09-23T17:08:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.946068 | 347 |

With every passing year, the Earth’s ticking environmental clock becomes more ominous. World Environment Day, celebrated on June 5th, serves as a potent reminder of the pressing issues our planet is grappling with. This year, the day takes on an even more significant meaning for the Philippines-based EcoWaste Coalition as they rally behind the theme #BeatPlasticPollution to combat the worsening plastic pollution crisis.
As an internationally recognized non-governmental group, EcoWaste has tirelessly called for urgent legislation, robust government action, and a transformative change in people’s lifestyles. All this in a bid to confront the severe threats plastic waste poses to Earth and its inhabitants.
“Every year on June 5th, World Environment Day serves as a reminder of the pressing environmental issues faced by the global community. This year, the theme “#BeatPlasticPollution” emphasizes the need for urgent action to address the escalating crisis of plastic pollution and find sustainable solutions,” the EcoWaste Coalition shared in a statement posted on Facebook.
The EcoWaste Coalition’s call is not merely a cry for awareness, but an ambitious rallying cry for worldwide action—a global plastics treaty. This groundbreaking treaty proposes a cap on plastic production, a significant reduction in plastic usage, and the elimination of harmful single-use plastics.
“Individual efforts alone are not sufficient to effectively tackle plastic pollution. We must implement comprehensive solutions on a global scale. One crucial step towards achieving this is the establishment of a global plastics treaty,” the Coalition affirmed.
In a critical negotiation meeting for the global treaty that concluded on June 2, 2023, the EcoWaste Coalition demonstrated its commitment to the cause by pushing for a strong, binding agreement. The proposed treaty includes controls that are necessary to mitigate the diverse threats posed by plastics. These include reducing plastic production, phasing out toxic chemical additives in plastics, banning the recycling of plastics with hazardous chemicals, promoting sustainable materials for a non-toxic circular society, and advancing Zero Waste strategies and non-incineration solutions.
“It is essential for the global plastics treaty to catalyze systems change rather than perpetuate broken systems. We need a transformative agreement that drives innovation, promotes sustainable practices, and supports the development of circular economies,” the Coalition expressed.
The EcoWaste Coalition’s mission extends beyond the annual World Environment Day. They are dedicated to building a future for the Philippines—and indeed, the world—free from plastic waste and harmful toxins. This commitment is demonstrated in their persistent work to raise awareness, advocate for policy changes, and engage with stakeholders to promote sustainable alternatives and responsible waste management practices.
The countdown to a sustainable future has begun, and every tick of the clock is a call to action. World Environment Day 2023 might be a reminder of our planet’s fragility, but with organizations like the EcoWaste Coalition at the helm, it is also a beacon of hope. With a global treaty, we can turn the tide on plastic pollution and ensure a safer, cleaner world for future generations.

The United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) reported that the second session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC) to develop an international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution, including in the marine environment (INC-2), concluded on June 2 in Paris, France with a mandate for the INC Chair, with the support of the Secretariat, to prepare a zero draft of the agreement ahead of the next session, due to take place in Nairobi, Kenya, in November. This year marks the 50th annual World Environment Day led by UNEP and held annually on June 5 since 1973. The day is observed as the largest global platform for environmental public outreach and is celebrated by millions of people across the world. In 2023, it is hosted by Côte D’Ivoire.

As its name suggests, it's intended to deal with a more extensive assortment of terrain compared to most other cars. Even though it's a street-legal automobile in a few nations. It is not street-legal in the majority of states and states of Australia, the USA or Canada.
From the recent ANSI definition, ATVs are meant for use by one operator, though some companies have developed ATVs intended for use by the operator and one passenger. These ATVs are known as tandem ATVs. The rider sits and works these vehicles such as a bike.
On the contrary the additional wheels provide more stability in slower rates. Although equipped with four or three wheels, six-wheel versions exist for technical uses.
Quad bike rules
Here Is what you want to understand
- You do not need a driving permit to ride a quad bike off road
- You do not need to taxation and enroll your quad bike if you are only using it off.
- You may, however, find it is helpful to list your quad over the off-road enroll which can help police if it is stolen
- Quads used for agriculture have to be enrolled as mild agricultural vehicles
- You do not have to pay car tax on quads used for agriculture
- The Gov.uk site has some more valuable information on quad bikes here
- Crash helmets are not a legal necessity but are advocated. Over half ATV drivers have been chucked away in a certain point and wearing a mask could nearly halve the risk of deaths
- You may need to light if the automobile is used after dark
- Security training is advocated, and LANTRA provides some helpful courses. A little syndicate shoot using a part-time keeper may get into trouble in case a collision occurs.The keeper hasn't had sufficient training
- Quads are accountable to theft and insurance conditions will almost certainly insist that the automobile is taken in during the night and stored safely
Razor Dirt Quad
After the backyard gets overly dressed along with also the pavement too smooth, the Dirt Quad moves with tremendous experience. Still another star in Razor's lineup of electrical powered off-road vehicles. The four-wheel Dirt Quad is constructed stable and strong to conquer rough trails and large lumps.
Do not compromise experience. Features a high torque engine and gearing using twist-grip acceleration controller and hand operated rear disk brake, 13 inches pneumatic knobby tires front brush bar, adjustable riser handlebars, droop-travel rear suspension with a coil shock up to 40 minutes of constant usage. Its back includes handle using space-saving vertical storage capacity. 12 hours advocated battery charge time.
Atv 125cc Fully Automatic with Reverse 1 Year Engine Warranty
Good value for the price. Two items to keep available, however: Loctite Blue and also a variety of cotter pins from the community hardware. Concerning the cotter pins, several the mill ones were undersized. I managed to maneuver the whole pin through the hole at the bolt without any limitation.
If you discover a great deal of slop when wiggling the trap in the pit, up-size from your supply. Usage of cotter pins can be dependent on the security quotient of the bolt being secured. I doped up into the lugs with loctite after detecting looseness. The mill would use flat washers rather than lock washers in the wheels is beyond me. The grandkids' grinsmade the purchase rewarding. As soon as you understand the idiosyncrasies, then there is plenty of fun.
Buyers ATVS100 100-Pound 12-Volt Electric ATV Broadcast Spreader with Rain Cover
I made a couple of adjustments for this tho. I had been dispersing oats in a food plot and discovered it had been having an issue with bridging around the holes. The seed drops thru to the broadcaster disk. Simple fix tho, I just drilled a little hole in engine shaft 3/4 "over the holes moving to broadcaster disk and added into a 2 1/2" cotter pin and spread it open.
This keeps the material out of multiplying. Besides, it threw the substance ahead into the box and beneath the polaris ranger I mounted it on. I just cut on an old piece of carpet about a foot wide and 2 feet and zip tied into the frame of this seeder so that it hung down to keep it from sending the seed ahead.
Aside from that, it is beautiful. Seeded in three meals plots within six acres total area and only had to push and refill hopper. You won't find a better buy for the price. It is built pretty nicely. I look at it like I get four or five years from it do not owe me a dime.

Sports versions are constructed with functionality, instead of usefulness. To succeed in fast street riding, an ATV should have lightweight, higher power, fantastic suspension and a low center of gravity. These machines could be altered for these racing areas as motocross, forests racing (also called a cross-country), desert racing (also called Hare Scrambles), mountain climbing, ice racing, speedway,
Tourist Trophy (TT), horizontal monitor, drag racing and many others. During the USA and the UK, there are lots of quad racing clubs using enduro and quad-core cross-sections. GNCC racing started around 1980 and contains hare scrambles and enduro type races. So far, events are primarily held at the eastern portion of the USA. GNCC racing includes various kinds of obstacles like mountain climbing, creek and log crossings, dirt streets and wooded paths.
ATV National Motocross Championship was made around 1985. ATVMX events have been hosted in premiere motocross racetracks across the USA. ATVMX is composed of several classes, such as the Guru (AMA Guru) and Amateur (ATVA) series. Friday involves amateur racing and practicing on Saturday and Sunday. Saturday also entails rushing for your Pro-Am women and Pro-Am Unlimited courses. Sunday causes racing for the Guru and Pro-Am manufacturing ATVs but is scored individually. | <urn:uuid:bc59268e-6339-473b-b7fc-16486659ddfa> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.goodtopick.net/quad-bike-reviews/ | 2023-09-23T17:52:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.950536 | 1,391 |
The universe belongs to Marvel.
With the movie spectacle of the decade running in theatres all over the world, it is not wrong to say that Avengers Endgame, the last movie in a decade long journey of a shared cinematic universe has surpassed all expectations.
From some characters like Captain America, Iron Man and Black Widow making their final appearances in the movie, the scintillating reviews from both audiences and movie critics alike have increased the potential of making it Hollywood’s highest grossing film ever, an accolade which presently lies with James Cameron’s Avatar.
While there is no denying that Marvel Studios has been supremely successful in the execution of a cinematic universe, the absence of villains that could be a real threat to the Avengers was a point where the makers could not cut through successfully. Until Thanos.
Other than Loki, played by Tom Hiddleston and Killmonger, portrayed by Michael Jordon, no single antagonist could hit the hearts of fans with as much impact expected. Not a proper recognition through the span of 22 movies.
Thanos, the purple-faced alien nemesis, made up for all of them with a brilliant screen presence, thanks to the fantastic Josh Brolin who blew life into the character both in Avengers Infinity War and now in Endgame too.
But was it just Brolin that made Thanos the perfect nemesis to the Avengers? No. Marvel Studios have Machine Learning to thank.
Apart from a revolution in CGI, the fact that Thanos was able to display perfect emotions on screen was what made him a force to reckon. Through Thanos, the stakes were high not only in the storyline of both the movies, but they were also huge for the makers, as they had the gap of an excellent villain to fill.
It was important to put emotions on a CGI character’s face to make him resonate more with the audience. This involved portraying the recognizable expressions of Josh Brolin on the Mad Titan’s face.
To achieve this, Digital Domain, one of the digital effect firms for the movie, used a sophisticated machine learning software named Masquerade to make the performance of motion capture more realistic and natural.
The entire process started by correctly putting a hundred to hundred and fifty track dots on Josh Brolin’s face, to be captured by a couple of vertical orientation enabled high-definition cameras.
The scan wasn’t required to provide high-quality results, but a pretty generic render of low quality. This initial rendering then was fed as input to the machine learning algorithm that used from many high- resolution facial scans by a vast variety of expressions.
The Masquerade software opts for those low resolution renders and automatically figures out the high-resolution face shape to be the perfect solution for the screen. If the answer did not seem accurate enough, the team would then tweak things a bit to arrive at a better solution.
These tweaks involved instances like raising the brows higher or a little bit of lip compression, which went back into the system and were then learned by the machine learning algorithm.
Subsequently, further results through the low mesh came out better, but all of this was just a single step. The next step in the process is known as direct drive, which plucked the high- res face mask function to place it on the villain’s character model.
If there were no machine learning system like Masquerade in place, the Visual Effects team would require to change the expressions manually through animation, where the results were surely not to be as impressive like the ones coming with the help of Masquerade. It would have been a time- consuming process too.
However, there are also other advanced techniques like FACETS, used for facial tracking in Avatar and even the Planet of the Apes trilogy.
It is quite clear that if you are not using machine learning in your software to enable better CGI and VFX, you are never going to get the final outputs as you expect them to be. In the times ahead, technology will be used more for things more than faces.

We had so much fun making these homemade ornaments. They were fun from beginning to end - from mixing, to rolling, cutting & decorating. If you are looking for a fun activity with your kiddos, grandkids, friends, spouse or even by yourself this is an activity for you! Only two simple ingredients both of which you can find package free in store & some water and you have yourself some beautiful ornaments and great memories. We decorated ours with a pile of old buttons that we have had laying around for years :)
1 Cup Baking Soda
1/2 Cup Cornstarch
3/4 Cup Water
1. Mix baking soda & cornstarch in a pot and add water. Stir until dissolved & smooth
2. Turn stove on to medium heat and stir mixture constantly. Once the mixture is a thick paste, remove from heat and transfer to a bowl to cool. Cool at room temperature for 30 minutes (if you leave longer it may get dried out).
3. Dust your counter with cornstarch and roll mixture into a smooth ball. Once the dough is no longer sticky, roll out with a rolling pin to approximately 1/4" thick. Cut out desired shapes and use a reusable straw to cut a hole in the top of the ornament to later tie a string through for hanging.
4. Place on a baking mat on a cookie sheet and place in a 175 degree oven. Bake for 40 minutes & then flip and cook for another 40 minutes. The ornaments should be hard and dry. If they are beginning to brown, remove from the oven immediately. Keep an eye to ensure this does not happen.
5. Thread twine through the top hole and decorate your ornaments with any objects you have around the house (we used old buttons), or leave as a crisp simple white. | <urn:uuid:8ca9fcd7-4335-44f4-8a0f-58a5b75c66a3> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.greatlakesrefillcompany.ca/blogs/recipes/diy-ornaments | 2023-09-23T18:05:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.943922 | 393 |
Since 2011, Kona Ice has been keeping Greenbrier and surrounding communities cool. Owner, Richard Weaver boasts that Greenbrier has the distinction of having the longest operating Kona Ice franchise in Arkansas, and one of the oldest in the country. You can find over 1300 franchises across the United States. Locally, Richard serves greater central Arkansas (North Little Rock, Greenbrier, Conway, Pine Bluff and El Dorado.)
“I wanted to be in control and be my own boss!” He shares. When deciding to make this investment he decided that making his own schedule, and not having anyone to answer to; other than his own customers has its perks. Richard is a member of 6 different chambers across the state and finds it extremely rewarding to give back to those communities that he serves. He contributes some of his success to being active in those communities and being engaged with their local chambers and various events. He adds, “When you see us at the ballpark or schools, just know that we are giving a percentage of our proceeds back to that organization.” Over the past 12 years, Kona Ice has given over $30,000 back the youth sports programs in Greenbrier.
When asked if he had any advice to anyone considering taking a risk and opening a small business, he shares, “You just have to do it! Research your idea to see if it truly is a good fit for your community.” For more information on how Kona Ice can be a part of your next event, follow them on social media, Kona Ice of Conway and Saline, email Richard at email@example.com or call 501-679-1582.
The chamber is excited to celebrate Kona Ice as our August business of the month and will be hosting a Back to School Bash at Matthews Park, August 24th from 5 to 7. This free event will feature hot dogs, popcorn, cotton candy, and a bounce house provided by the Pentecostal Church of Greenbrier. | <urn:uuid:a002b79f-cb94-4d47-9851-f2e71d412598> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.greenbrierchamber.org/post/konaice | 2023-09-23T16:52:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.962263 | 418 |

An environment-lover’s nightmare, we present the world’s thirstiest cars!
While the rest of us prefer to jump aboard the green bandwagon and drive energy efficient and sparkly green Chevrolet Volts and the lovable Toyota Prius, a few car owners still prefer to stick to the more environment-chocking side of affairs. While looking at the statistics of some of the greenest cars around us recently, we decided to also draw up a list of the world’s most inefficient cars. Here it is!
10. 2014 Rolls Royce Phantom EWB
Standing 10th on the list and perhaps the most eco-friendly car from our list of gas guzzlers is the 2014 Rolls Royce Phantom EWB. The super-luxury car offers an efficiency of 11 miles to the gallon in city driving and 19 miles to the gallon (mpg) on the highway. With a 6.75-liter V-12 engine, this luxurious ride costs more than $570,000!
9. 2014 Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé
The topless cousin of the previously mentioned Phantom offers a similar efficiency of 11 mpg in city conditions and 19 mpg on the highway. The car also packs a 6.75-liter V12 engine and comes with all the bells and whistles you’d expect on a Rolls Royce.
8. 2014 Ford Expedition FFV
This 2014 Ford has managed to make it to our list, thanks to its terrible efficiency of just 13 mpg in city driving and 18 on the highway. Packing a 5.4L V8 FFV 6-speed Automatic engine, this 4WD SUV comes at a price of $41,440 and upwards.
7. 2014 F-150 Ford Raptor
Pickup trucks have never really been known to kiss the environment and the new Ford Raptor proves its kind with an efficiency rating of 11mpg in cities and 16 mpg on highways. Aggressively styled and packing a big-bore 6.2 liter V8 engine, this pickup is built to scare environment-lovers and give them nightmares. Priced at $44,415 and upwards, the F-150 Ford Raptor promises to take you up the roughest terrain though.
6. 2014 Mercedes-Benz G550
The $114,000 G550 is powered by a 5.5 liter V8 engine and produces 382hp. A power SUV with lots of style and machismo, the G550 does poke a dent in the environment with its fuel efficiency rating of 12 mpg in cities and 15 mpg on the highway.
5. 2014 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG
A favorite of the Kardashians, the Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG is yet another SUV from the 3-starred brigade that sports a terribly low efficiency rating. The 5.5-liter V-8 engine comes with a twin-turbo that allows an efficiency of a measly 12 mpg in cities and 14 mpg on the highway. The top-of-the-line version costs a jaw-dropping $130,000.
4. 2014 Bentley Mulsanne
When Bentley set about designing this car, energy-efficiency was the least of the automaker’s concerns, a fact that is reflected on the car’s efficiency of 11 mpg city and 18 mpg highway. Powered by a 6.8-liter V-8 engine, this uber-luxury car is quick too and is priced at nearly $300,000.
3. Ford E-150 Wagon FFV
Standing 3rd on our list of the gas guzzlers around isn’t yet another supercar, but a somewhat domesticated van, the 2014 E-150 Wagon FFV. The 5.4-liter V-8 engine that achieves only 12 mpg in city driving and 16 mpg on the highway, making this van a lethal shot for the environment. The price? Just about $35,705 and upwards!
2. Bugatti Veyron
The Bugatti Veyron’s failure to please environmentalists doesn’t take us by surprise, given the fact that this hypercar isn’t meant to be eco-friendly. Crowned the fastest production car in the world, the Veyron gets only 8 mpg in cities and 16 mpg on highways. Obviously, folks driving a car like this don’t usually bother about fuel consumption given that the Veyron is affordable only to those who’re willing to spend a mighty $2.3 million on a car.
1. 2014 Ram 2500
And finally, the biggest gas guzzler of them all is yet another American, the 2014 Ram 2500. Priced at $33,800 and upwards, this pickup sports enough muscle to tow a fuel pump away. The Ram 2500 comes with a not-really-efficient 5.7-liter V-8 engine and gets 13 mpg in the city and 18 mpg cruising on the highway. | <urn:uuid:47493da7-e0ef-4624-a724-25643d615e94> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.greenlaunches.com/transport/environment-lovers-nightmare-present-worlds-thirstiest-cars.php | 2023-09-23T17:51:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.913947 | 1,042 |

Serving personnel who are taking suppressive treatment for HIV, and whose blood tests show no detectable virus, will now be recognised as fully fit for all service. The policy change also applies to anyone wishing to join the military, meaning living with HIV is no longer a barrier for those wishing to serve.
Today’s announcement follows the policy changes made on World AIDS Day last year to allow those taking Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) medication to prevent HIV infection could join the Armed Forces with immediate effect.
Lieutenant General James Swift, Chief of Ministry of Defence People, said: “Our people are our greatest asset and as part of the drive to modernise our Armed Forces we are making these long overdue policy changes so people with HIV, but no detectable virus, are now able to join the military and those serving will be declared fully fit.
“This welcome change in policy is a recognition of the superb medical advancements that have been made and the decisive work by those that helped to bring about these changes. We will continue to ensure that all our people have the best experience possible, where their health and wellbeing is prioritised, and they can serve with pride and feel valued and supported in a modern Armed Forces.”
Ian Green, Chief Executive at HIV/sexual health charity Terrence Higgins Trust, added: “Forty years since the start of the HIV epidemic, this historic rule change shows the truly remarkable progress that’s been made. We’ve made huge strides in the fight against HIV and you can now live a long, healthy life with the virus. That means no career should be off limits – including serving in our armed forces.
“It’s crucial it is now properly implemented to see the real-life impact of this momentous change for both existing serving personnel and those wishing to join. We also need to see an end to the final barrier in place which stops military aircrew and air traffic controllers taking HIV prevention pill PrEP to protect themselves against the virus. This must be reviewed and implemented as soon as possible.”
The changes will be welcome news to those currently unable to deploy on operations. The new policy will ensure that people living with HIV will be provided personal medical supplies to last throughout their deployment. If this should get lost or damaged, it can be replaced using the same process that already exists for other personnel needing regular medication.
The policy changes aim to remove unnecessary restrictions and processes and ensures that HIV is managed in the same way as any other comparable medical condition. These changes will remove the stigma around HIV and encourage everybody to get tested and treated, ensuring a better outcome for everyone.
Lieutenant Commander Oli Brown, welcomed the policy, saying: “From today I can be considered fully fit by the Royal Navy for the first time since I told them about my HIV diagnosis. Being labelled as limited deployable made me question myself and doubt my capability – it took a toll on my mental health. The biggest thing about this change is knowing that no-one else will feel how I did.
“The message is loud and clear – people living with HIV are not limited in any way. I take one tablet a day which makes my HIV undetectable and that I can’t pass it on. There is no reason why I, or anyone else, should be restricted in the Armed Forces and today’s change reflects that reality.” | <urn:uuid:01bb8f9a-f0a2-4a70-9e3a-24bcee38b247> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.gscene.com/news/people-living-with-hiv-now-recognised-as-fully-fit-for-service-in-the-uk-armed-forces/ | 2023-09-23T16:56:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.950109 | 703 |
The first meeting of this course will take place on September 1st at 6 PM in room 318. Interested students should plan to attend. This is due to no classes being offered on Labor Day.
From National Romanticism in late 19th to Critical Regionalism debates in the 20th century, architecture\’s ability to evoke a sense of place, locality or identity has been valued as a form of resistance to the hegemony of supra-national discourses such as imperial neo-classicism and \”International Style\” modernism respectively. At the same time, such preoccupations with geographical and cultural specificity have also informed \”invented traditions\” of various kinds — formal/stylistic appropriation of vernacular traditions in the service of modern identity politics from colonialism and nationalism to tourism and theme parks. With a cross-cultural perspective that transcends the western/non-western binary, this course offers a historical overview of the search for national, regional or cultural expression in modern architecture over the last century, addressing the ambiguity of this quest between its \”critical\” and \”commercialized\” versions. In a lecture/seminar format, it will cover major debates and critical theories of national, regional and/or vernacular modernisms, with selected case studies from Europe, Mediterranean and the Middle East. Lectures will be complemented by in depth class discussion of key figures/texts/projects and the major course requirement will be a term paper. | <urn:uuid:74ca818f-3e11-4b65-9b33-0744cbcdb98f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.gsd.harvard.edu/course/situating-the-modern-modern-architecture-and-vernacular-traditions-fall-2011/ | 2023-09-23T18:08:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.914802 | 312 |

Around 1.8 million people have been affected in the largely rural, mountainous province — 286,000 of whom have been evacuated to safety while more than 2,700 houses have been damaged or collapsed entirely, Xinhua said.
China regularly experiences flooding during the summer months, most frequently in central and southern areas that tend to receive the most rainfall.
China’s worst floods in recent years were in 1998, when more than 2,000 people died and almost 3 million homes were destroyed, mostly along the Yangtze, China’s mightiest river.
The government has invested heavily in flood control and hydroelectric projects such as the gargantuan Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze.
Globally, more intense tropical storms are on the rise as a result of climate change, leading to increased flooding that threatens human lives, crops and groundwater quality. | <urn:uuid:177dc57e-21d9-4fc4-a046-2286ebf46fd3> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.gulftoday.ae/news/2022/06/09/10-killed-3-missing-in-central-china-flooding | 2023-09-23T18:01:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.975256 | 179 |
Technorati listed 16,588 food blogs as of May 31, 2012, so there are probably 17,000,000 or so by now. This reflects the fact that people look for information about food online. They look, according to Google Insights for Search, for recipes, nutrition information, food trucks, fast food, Chinese food, restaurants, cake, kale, quinoa, and chicken, and that’s just the top 10. With a steady 92 out of 100 for Google searches all year long, food is one of the most searched-for topics in the world.
I was asked to serve on a couple of panels for food bloggers, so I had to think about food blogs a bit in preparation.
At the same time, I had been sent an e-book draft in PowerPoint by a usually-reliable source, so I thought I’d try it out by gathering up some of the foodie blog posts I’ve written over the years and making an e-book of them. You can download the e-book in question at the link below:
(In case you’re wondering, making an e-book with PowerPoint is a horrible idea, template or not. It might be better than making an e-book with Excel, but I can’t think of any other common software less suited to the task.)
These blog posts are, in some cases, personal blog posts. In other cases, they’re from blogs I’ve written for businesses.
Why should you consider blogging about food if you blog for your business?
- Did you notice the numbers above? Looking up recipes, restaurants, and other foodie information is one of the most popular online activities, so you might as well get in on it. This is especially true if drop-by traffic would be good for your website.
- Sharing recipes makes you seem human and friendly. How can you not like someone who gave you a recipe for the World’s Best Banana Pudding?
- They liven up company news. Your company’s BBQ sauce or mojito recipe is a great addition to your post about the company party. Otherwise, it can easily be just another party to which your readers weren’t invited.
- They make your staff memorable. Is Sharon the…ummm… you know, the lady who answers the phone… or is she the inventor of Sharon’s Amazing Protein Smoothie? Which is more likely to stick in your mind?
- Food writing helps you establish your geographic location. Whether it’s Louisiana gumbo or a local restaurant, mentions of local food can make it clear that you’re a local company, to human readers and to search engines.
- It’s often easier than other kinds of writing. I’m saying “often” because of course there are works of art written about food and writing well is never all that easy. Posting a recipe can be quick, though, even if you’re not much of a writer. Take a great photo and post that recipe when you’re in a hurry. No one will ever know.
- Foodie blogging is also often easier to crowdsource than other writing. Getting staff, customers, and even readers to share recipes or reviews can be a lot easier that getting them to write thought-provoking posts on industry trends.
- It’s great for social media. Your articles on sales tax law may not get much play on Facebook or Pinterest, but recipes are highly popular on most social media platforms. Pictures of food tend to have high click-through rates, and there are even special social media sites just for sharing foodie photos — yumsugar’s Savory Sights is one.
- Not to overgeneralize, but foodie posts tend to appeal to women. And — once again, not to overgeneralize — women make or influence some 85% of buying decisions. Even if you’re selling cars, appliance parts, or beer, chances are good that a lot of your eventual purchasers are women even if most of your visitors are male.
- Your foodie posts can then be gathered into an e-book and offered as The Downtown Dry Cleaner’s Cookbook or Our Partners’ Favorite Cocktails. Get visitors’ email addresses in exchange and you’ve added to your house list. | <urn:uuid:b0b4fde8-bea4-4e32-ac5f-1923295d1783> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.hadeninteractive.com/10-reasons-to-consider-food-blogging/ | 2023-09-23T17:43:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.945184 | 914 |
It’s the official launch day for Bill West Roofing’s new site. Actually, we had the new site live a couple of days ago, because we like to beat deadlines, but this is the official milestone day.
In the image below you can see the old site. Above is the “After.”
Be that as it may, the process was fairly simple. Let me share it with you. This is our milestone list from Basecamp:
On April 21st, we collected everything (files, pictures, stuff like that) from the roofing company. Actually, there ended up being a lot more files along the way, but we had what we needed to begin. I started the research the following day. Research, decisions about information architecture, and writing took place.
On April 25th I finished writing the content. On the 27th, all changes were made and the content was approved, so Tom got to work on the design. Further research and conversation, as well as sending Josepha into tall buildings to take photos, took place.
Tom had mock ups for the two designs ready on May 9th. Conversations and various changes took place, along with sending Aaron West out to take more photos. Tom did the coding.

Why should I consider Moissanite instead of any other gemstones for my Engagement Ring?
Updated: Feb 13, 2020
After the question "Is Moissanite a type of Diamond?" This is the second question we're most asked about. Why Moissanite?
Naturally occurring Moissanite is a very rare and hard mineral. The first deposit of this mineral was found in a meteor crater over 100 years ago. According to the GIA, there have only been 2,500 tiny crystals of Moissanite (4.1 mm or less) that have been found on the Earth's crust in a span of 14 years. Nowadays, Moissanite used in jewelry have all been lab-created....and this is where most discussions start. Will Moissanite become as valuable as diamond over time? Is it a good investment? Is it something I could pass down to my family as a piece of heirloom jewelry? Why is it frowned upon by jewelry connoisseurs?
"First things first...diamond or any other naturally occurring gemstones are NEVER a good investment for your portfolio."
Unless you are looking to buy a diamond, sapphire, ruby, emerald) or any other gemstones that have a name (Koh-I-Noor diamond, The Start of India Sapphire or The Carmen Lucia Ruby) or was worn by a very famous person, gemstones are not a wise investment. Diamond, for example, is like buying a new car. It loses half of its value after it leaves the store. The real value in any piece of jewelry is what you put in it.
Even a twisted twine or twigs could have enormous value if the Pope held and blessed it, if it was used as a prop for a very famous film, if it was from your great, great, great Aunt Matilda's and the only possession that survived with her when she was rescued from the freezing Atlantic ocean when the S.S. Titanic sank. Are you getting my drift here? So to answer the question if Moissanite will be as valuable as diamond over time? It is a resounding YES! Get an engagement ring with a good quality Moissanite in a gold setting and it would be valuable over the years that could be passed down from generation to generation within your family.
Is it worth it to spend thousands of dollars on a ring with a stone that you need a microscope to see because you believe it is rare? Diamonds are one of the most common mineral gemstones mined and tons of it are unearthed every single year.

Jewelry bloggers, connoisseurs, and high-end jewelry experts are selling you the illusion that only naturally occurring gemstones are worthy of the recognition in representing high-end luxury style. They say it's because these gemstones took thousands of years to be formed and it is such a marvel how bright they shine and you now possess the rarest minerals and gemstones found on earth. And so is the rock in your backyard, isn't it? It's one of a kind, and you own it! Is it worth to unearth these minerals regardless of the destruction in our environment and its human inflictions? Is it really worth it?
If they can only understand the science behind the making of Moissanite, it is almost a miracle. | <urn:uuid:43d5f865-5f67-43ae-b6d8-c47830662d39> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.halleyreh.com/post/why-should-i-consider-moissanite-instead-of-any-other-gemstones-for-my-engagement-ring | 2023-09-23T17:42:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.961447 | 705 |

While the Texas Rangers, supported on the shoulders of some hefty offense, are coming up smelling like a spring field of wildflowers, the stench oozing off the New York Yankees reeks of something dead pulled from the Hudson River in a post apocalyptic zombie movie featuring a soundtrack completely composed of Nickelback songs.
With their 5-2 stomping on Sunday evening, the Yankees have lost their sixth straight game and are now 22-22, two games behind the Tampa Bay Rays who lead the American League East.
On the other, much more pleasant smelling end of the spectrum, the Rangers (who have won their fifth straight game) are finally hitting their stride coming into the month of June where they will most likely wade out into familiar territory with the return of Josh Hamilton to the lineup. RHP Yovani Gallardo sharply pulled together six strikeouts during the win, including a major one in the first. Down 2-1 after Brian McCann’s two-run single (Elvis Andrus collected his 10th error of the season after he let Brett Gardner’s catchable grounder go past him) with runners on first and second, Gallardo hushed the crowd with a fastball to Chris Young, striking him out.
It would be Adam Rosales’ 379-foot two-run homer, which was just out of Gardner’s reach in left field, that would put the Rangers back in front at the top of the second. Delino DeShields added onto their lead in the seventh after tripling to center field, followed by a Shin-Soo Choo double (not to mention an error on Yankee second baseman Jose Pirela). The powerful Prince Fielder then scored Choo off of a single to right, officially stapling New York’s ugly fate to a stack of flammable paper.
A slight scare came in the eighth in the form of Texas reliever Ross Ohlendorf after he walked Mark Teixeira, bringing the tying run up to the plate. The Rangers managed to get out of the situation after replacing Ohlendorf with Sam Freeman, who then gets McCann to close the inning, their lead still secured firmly in place.
After proving that the Yankees really are just a mediocre .500 team, worthy only of producing bile instead of big plays these days, the Rangers (now 21-23) look to move up in the AL West by taking on the Cleveland Indians starting Monday.
Monday also marks the return of the troubled 34-year old Hamilton, who will make his 2015 major league debut with his former team after struggling with shoulder issues, alcohol related problems, and a nearly damning two years wallowing with the Anaheim Angels. | <urn:uuid:6dcf7ac6-78df-4505-9eb3-bd1c4ef4dffd> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.hardwoodandhollywood.com/2015/05/25/utterly-effortless-texas-rangers-sweep-new-york-yankees/ | 2023-09-23T19:02:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.953004 | 553 |
In addition to madman fitness enthusiasts who continue to exercise every day, most people have stopped fitness programs to a greater or lesser extent.
Not only that, sometimes we have to stop training for some time because of injuries, illness, overtime, busy work, etc.
The disconnection time is as short as 2 to 3 weeks and as long as one month or even several months. Such unstable training rules are not optimistic for muscle development.
How long does it take for the muscles to start changing after you stop training?
If you stop training completely, the specific muscle loss will vary from person to person.
The higher the training period, the slower the muscle strength and dimensional decline in a short period of time; the shorter the training period, the faster the muscle strength and perimeter decrease in a short period of time.
But don’t worry, it’s not exactly true muscle loss.
It is normal for muscles to become smaller after a period of suspension, but only water and glycogen in the muscles are lost.
Moreover, if you have several years of training and no muscles in a few months, as long as you continue to train, you can quickly return to the original state.
How can I return to the previous state after training is stopped?
The longer the suspension, the longer it takes to recover.
The normal fitness training for a long time requires a recovery period. In this process, do not rush to do the previous intensity training.
1. Reduce exercise time
After a long break, our muscles and endurance have fallen, and we feel a bit novice, so we should appropriately shorten the exercise time and proceed gradually.
2. Choose low-intensity exercise
Just resuming exercise, it is not suitable to choose an exercise program with too much intensity. You can start from a low intensity, gradually increase the intensity, and let the body slowly adapt.
3. Proper nutritional supplements
To restore muscle, nutritional intake is essential, such as eating some high-quality protein, chicken breast, protein powder, etc., a reasonable and scientific dietary intake can help our muscles grow rapidly.
4. Learn to rest
It is not a rush to resume fitness. You must keep a clear head, learn to arrange your work and rest time reasonably, and adjust your rest appropriately. Poor rest also affects muscle loss.
According to research, after 4 to 6 weeks of suspension, one month of serious training can restore 90% of the original.
In fact, our brain can remember the control of muscles by nerves, and can save the maximum circumference and strength of muscles as a template.
Even if you haven’t been training for a long time, we can return you to the level you were in a short time.
Therefore, there is no need to be too anxious about the suspension of training, as long as it is not too long, it is fine. | <urn:uuid:e9767859-781d-4d42-a33f-e77f78e78efd> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.harisonfitness.com/how-to-do-exercise-after-stop-for-long-time/ | 2023-09-23T17:57:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.954259 | 594 |

Bananas are a versatile and flavorful fruit often added to smoothies, baked goods, sauces, and desserts.
Many people also enjoy eating bananas for breakfast, thanks to both their portability and low price tag.
However, some wonder whether bananas are a good option for their morning meal.
This article evaluates whether eating a banana for breakfast is healthy.
However, they’re also relatively high in carbs and natural sugars (
Bananas contain carbohydrates and natural sugars, which may increase blood sugar levels if consumed alone.
While eating a banana on its own might not be ideal as a breakfast meal, enjoying a banana before your morning meal or as part of a balanced breakfast could be beneficial.
Bananas are likewise a great source of several key nutrients that your body needs, including potassium and vitamin C (
Potassium is involved in fluid balance and muscle contractions and may help reduce your blood pressure (
Meanwhile, vitamin C supports the immune system and may help protect against inflammation and chronic disease (
Eating bananas before breakfast or as part of a balanced meal may help promote satiety and aid digestive health. Bananas contain several important micronutrients, including potassium and vitamin C.
Pairing bananas with other foods high in protein and heart-healthy fats can help round out your meal.
This can support blood sugar regulation, improve satiety, and reduce hunger between meals (
Here are a few healthy breakfast ideas that include bananas:
- frozen banana bites with yogurt and nut butter
- Greek yogurt with bananas and chia seeds
- a protein smoothie with spinach, berries, and frozen banana
- oatmeal topped with nuts, seeds, and sliced bananas
- banana breakfast bars with nut butter, oats, and walnuts
Pairing bananas with other ingredients that are high in protein and fiber for breakfast may help improve satiety, reduce hunger, and promote digestive health.
Bananas are relatively high in carbohydrates and natural sugars, but they’re a good source of fiber and important vitamins and minerals, which makes them superior to highly processed high carb breakfast foods.
Therefore, they can be great a great addition to a well-rounded meal, especially when paired with other foods high in healthy fats or protein.
For an easy way to enjoy bananas for breakfast, try adding them to smoothies, yogurt parfaits, oat bowls, or high protein breakfast bars. | <urn:uuid:f9ee769e-ac96-473c-8510-9730674d49ee> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/banana-for-breakfast?utm_source=Sailthru%20Email&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=best_of&utm_content=2022-12-27&apid=35997459&rvid=d0b49adcc5ba83ea44d88e222c38a739391b888c28c126f604f1b9db6f5aba2a | 2023-09-23T18:59:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.944351 | 497 |
HEALTHY FOR LIFE
The first and overriding value of Healthy Place to Work is unsurprisingly – HEALTHY. We must be seen to live the dream. We are asking organisations to view all aspects of their operations through the lens of the impact on workforce health. We will do likewise. We will constantly review everything we do to ensure that all employees are healthy. We will have a culture that supports people to be the healthiest they can possibly be so that they have the vitality to flourish at work and beyond.
The second value of Healthy Place to Work takes its origin from Japan. It is made up of the two Japanese words – Kai and Zen when mean ‘Change’ and ‘Better’. The focus here is to have a restless spirit toward constant improvement in everything we are and in everything we do (get better). From a personal point of view we will not compare ourselves constantly with others but rather will try to be a constantly better version of ourselves.
While ‘Supportive Relationships’ may be seen to relate to our Value ‘Healthy For Life’ we believe it is important enough to separate it out as its own value. We believe that positive and supportive relationships are key to success. We will not tolerate undermining behaviours no matter how subtle. We ask people to particularly call out any bullying (which will not be tolerated) or passive aggressive behaviours.
Sometimes the word discipline has negative connotations however at Healthy Place to Work we see it in an incredibly positive light. It means that we can depend on everybody around us to meet their commitments. We set clear goals and we support each other to achieve those goals. We deliver on our promises. If for any reason we can’t deliver we call it out early so that we can mitigate the situation.
Life is short. We should do everything in our gift to ensure that everybody is enjoying their time at Healthy Place to Work. We do believe that laughter is the best stress reliever in the world (along with a good massage). Therefore, we are creative and innovative in finding ways that we can reduce the stress in our work lives and our personal lives. We will try to match people to projects that they enjoy understanding that there will be times where we have to do work that we may not enjoy. We also understand that our moods have an impact on other people. We will also try to be a beacon of positivity and lighten everybody’s day.
A day without learning is an opportunity missed. With so much change happening we need to grow develop and adapt fast. Healthy Place to Work will be a place to come to learn. We will constantly give people opportunities to learn and in return we ask them to share. We aim to keep up with the latest thinking so that we are educating the marketplace and will be seen as knowledge leaders. Clients will come to us because we can give them the edge based on our superior knowledge. At Healthy Place we love learning new things and will always be open to new ideas and fresh perspectives. | <urn:uuid:04f8055d-2fd8-4e1d-98ec-9844d2cde4db> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.healthyplacetowork.com/about-us/our-values/ | 2023-09-23T18:31:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.959851 | 643 |
Spain: Mallorca Guidebook Rockfax
I lose track of whether this is the third or fourth edition of Rockfax’s Mallorca guide (actually, I just looked it up and discovered that it’s no less than the 7th!) such is the popularity of the island. I had a trip there last month and counted back to discover that it was my tenth visit to the place. I’ve run, biked, canyoned, walked, camped, and climbed there over the years, but climbing has always been the one constant. The last edition of the guide really introduced the Deep Water Soloing potential of the place, dedicating a whole section of the guide to the genre. It had previously been consigned to a PDF guide. This one is no exception, with over 100 of the 376 pages dedicated to a plethora of amazing crags. Truth be told I was a little disappointed that there weren’t more, but I suppose that this is a selected guide and not a definitive one. One point that is not really conveyed in the guide, or in any guide to DWS that I have seen to date, is that you really don’t need full colour topos and evidence of development to enjoy the sport. Many of my best DWS experiences have come about simply by exploring and coasteering off the beaten tracks and beaches, obviously being careful to mind my landings, and climbing well within my grade and comfort zone. In fact I’d say that there’s an argument that a large proportion of the climbing community are actually put off by the notion of DWS and are missing out by virtue of the fact that the guides highlight the developed crags which require a skill level beyond many. On the recent trip I was traveling with a mixed bunch of companions, some of whom don’t climb, but who nevertheless enjoyed scrambling around on the rocks pretty much wherever we hit the coast.
Getting back to the point this edition it covers 34 sport crags and 16 DWS crags making a grand total of 50. Not bad for an island of its size! It’s been produced by Alan James, Mark Glaister, and Damon Beail (DWS aficionado). The crag topos are of the usual standard, but I would like to have seen more of the amazing scenery highlighted as in the double page spread on page 196/197. I’d also like to see a section in the guide listing other stuff to do on Mallorca. There are some world class walks, canyons and coasteering trips to be had if you do a little googling, not to mention some of the best road cycling in the world. It’s easy to criticise a climbing guide for not including information on such things, but half a page would be enough to point visitors in the right direction and could easily be justified as rest-day activities.
In a nutshell Mallorca is one of the best places I have ever visited. It’s compact, crammed full of climbing and other exciting things to do. It’s affordable, has a decent cultural offering if you get away from the hoards. The sun generally shines and the water is that beautiful turquoise. The Rockfax guide is a perfect companion.
If you’re of a younger generation and have embraced the world of smartphones and tablets then Rockfax have a pretty cool App which covers most of their guides. I’ve downloaded and tested it and am pretty impressed. You can either buy the whole book equivalent, or you can buy individual crags, much like you would buy a single track or a whole album on iTunes or similar. Once you’ve downloaded what you want it is stored on your phone, complete with off line maps good enough to get you to the crag, and interactive photo-topos that zoom nicely. At the moment there is a free sample to each book, to give you an idea of what you are signing up to, but I would like to see the free bit being more of a general info about the area, perhaps with a description of the crags, their respective crags etc, to enable me to pick and choose what I would like. There is also clearly great potential for links to other activities, accommodation etc. The App feels like it’s in its early days, but is a superb early foray. Well done Rockfax!

Economic black clouds are being seen over two of the BRIC countries that could spell stormy weather for operators in the heavy lift and project cargo markets.
Brazil is witnessing stalling economic activity that is creating social unrest. Heavy lift and transport work in support of the development of World Cup venues is now complete. The country's need for infrastructure over its vast interior distances is causing an economic drag on the state that threatens to end a decade long growth spurt.
In China, Beijing has been stunned that growth has fallen to a level of which the rest of the world can only dream. However, in Beijing's terms, growth of seven percent is a disaster. Much of the country's planned infrastructure has now been built and executed, leading to questions as to where the next big heavy lift operation may come from.
In Australia, worldwide shifts in demand for coal mean more cheap coal is headed towards China, leading to questions of viability over coal projects in the country which could impact on the movement of heavy mining and wheeled equipment.

Make Easter memorable with these adorable (and easy!) miniature egg pinatas. You can also use these cute Easter decorations as placeholders for a classroom party or Easter dinner. Be sure to start at least one day ahead, as the paper mache needs to dry overnight.
Inflate six balloons, tie closed, and tie a short ribbon to each balloon.
Combine the flour and water in a bowl. Place half the newspaper pieces in the flour-water mixture until thoroughly soaked.
Cover each balloon with a layer of soaked newspaper.
Hang the balloons up from the ribbons until the newspaper layer is dry. While they dry, soak the remaining newspaper pieces.
Cover each balloon in a second layer of soaked newspaper. Hang the balloons and let them dry overnight.
Use scissors to poke a hole near each balloon's knot. Deflate and remove the balloon from the pinata.
Cut the crepe paper into strips. Cut a fringe on the bottom of each crepe paper strip.
Use the glue to attach the crepe paper strips around each pinata, layering the strips over each other to completely cover the newspaper.
Once the glue is dry, fill each mini pinata with KISSES Chocolates. Use the opening left by the balloon. Widen slightly with scissors, if needed.
Use scissors to poke a small hole on each side of the opening.
Wind a piece of ribbon through the two holes. Pull up both ends of the ribbon and tie to make a loop. | <urn:uuid:47d10842-0e8d-4630-b621-c76fd5601473> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.hersheyland.com/crafts/mini-easter-egg-pinatas.html | 2023-09-23T17:52:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.913856 | 311 |

- A podiatrist
- An anesthesiologist
- A psychiatrist
- A radiologist
- A sleep disorder specialist
No matter the specialty care you need after your accident, it will be covered by medical lien funding.
If you suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI), broken bones, or internal injuries, you probably had imaging done in the emergency room, such as X-rays, CAT scans, and MRIs. With more serious injuries, you may need periodic imaging to confirm you are healing as expected.
Additional imaging may also be used to explore the need for surgery. No worries—the costs for all necessary imaging related to your accident is covered by medical lien funding.
Surgery of all kinds is covered by medical lien funding, so long as the surgery is directly related to the injuries you suffered in your accident. It would not, however, cover elective surgery.
We have a network of surgeons with whom we work. We will also cover the bill for the surgery center or hospital, as well as the anesthesiologist and all other associated costs.
Types of surgery covered by medical lien funding include, but are not limited to:
- Orthopedic surgery
- Thoracic surgery
- Cardiac surgery
- Oral surgery
- General surgery
- Plastic surgery (related to your injuries)
You may be in intense pain due to the injuries you suffered in your accident. Opioids, once commonly prescribed for pain before or after surgery, are highly addictive. This is why pain management specialists have become so important.
They diagnose the exact source of your pain and come up with a comprehensive plan to help alleviate your pain. We can help you pay for their services.
Rehabilitation and Therapy
Rehabilitation is covered by medical lien funding as well. If you’re recovering from more serious injuries, like a traumatic brain injury (TBI), you likely need a variety of rehabilitation interventions to help you recover.
This might include:
- Physical therapy
- Occupational therapy
- Speech therapy
- Language therapy
- Cognitive therapy
- Pulmonary rehabilitation
All of these treatment options would be covered by medical lien funding.
Mental Health Care
Your mental health is as important as your physical health. Many personal injury plaintiffs have anxiety, flashbacks, and other symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The Mayo Clinic defines PTSD as a mental health condition that’s triggered by a terrifying event, and it can become incapacitating.
It’s perfectly normal for accident victims to feel anxiety and depression as well. We’ll help connect you to a lien-based mental health provider who can provide an assessment and recommended treatment plan that includes healthy coping strategies to deal with the mental anguish after an accident.
Mental health care covered by medical lien funding would include:
- Evaluation and diagnosis
- Individual therapy
- Prescription medication
- Addiction treatment (if your addiction can be tied to your accident)
Prescription medication can be expensive—so much so that some people split pills or don’t get their prescriptions filled at all. Medical lien funding can cover your prescription medication so you can be fully compliant with your treatment plan.
Taking prescriptions as directed can help you cope with both the physical and mental aspects related to your accident.
To apply for free, call (877) 735-0016
How We Arrange Care
When you apply for medical lien funding, you tell us the type of care you are seeking by naming the specialist you need to see or the surgery you need to have. We then check to see if we have a lien-based doctor in your area and, if we do, we request all of your medical records and personal injury case information.
We pass most of that information on to the doctor and can set up your first appointment. From there, you communicate with the doctor directly.
If you need surgery, we’ll confirm that your hospital or surgery center is in our network. Then, we will request all of your medical records and case information. Upon reviewing the documentation, we will approve or deny your request for funding within 48 hours.

EDITOR?S NOTE: This release comes via the Marion County Relay for Life Committee…
Imagine a world with more birthdays. That is the national theme of this year?s Relay for Life Event. On Thursday Feb. 18, Marion and Hillsboro schools will host the first ?Purple Night Out? for the American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Marion County.
By hosting ?Purple Night Out? school officials and Relay for Life volunteers are inviting everyone to join them by wearing purple to show solidarity for the fight against cancer. Purple is the designated color of cancer survivors.
In 2009, more than 250 residents participated on Relay teams. Fifty survivors and caregivers walked the opening lap of Relay for Life. One RFL goal this year is to increase the number of survivors who walk the opening lap.
?Relay For Life is as much an awareness raiser about the progress against cancer as it is a fundraiser,? said event organizer Janet Herzet. ?Businesses and individuals willing to give their time and energy to this exciting event, as sponsors or participants, are making a commitment to fight back against this disease and let the community know that they care.?
Relay For Life is the signature, overnight event of the American Cancer Society. As the largest fundraising walk in the nation, Relay mobilizes communities throughout the country to celebrate survivors, remember loved ones and raise money for the fight against cancer.
The 2010 American Cancer Society Relay For Life of Marion County will take place June 18 and 19 at Tabor College track in Hillsboro.
To learn more about Relay For Life and connect with participants in your community and around the world visit www.RelayForLife.org. For more information on cancer, call the American Cancer Society?s 24-hour help line at 1-800-ACS- 2345 or visit www.cancer.org. | <urn:uuid:87f0998d-a366-4bd6-9a9e-f19d11fa8098> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.hillsborofreepress.com/breakingnews/wear-purple-to-the-hhsmhs-games-tonight-thursday | 2023-09-23T18:01:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.9164 | 387 |
Hindon’s customer is one of the largest agricultural processing companies in the world. With sales of $60+ billion annually, the customer has amassed a global processing and distribution footprint with locations worldwide.
The customer’s in the Southeastern U.S. loads processed grain onto barges in the Mississippi River where the barges are moved through the loading process using barge haul winches. The braking system on these winches, which used a competitor’s electrohydraulic brake for emergency and holding applications, proved unreliable due to persistent issues with leaking seals in the brake’s electrohydraulic brake release thruster, requiring costly maintenance, repairs, and downtime.
In search of a solution for this unreliable braking system, the customer contacted Hindon regarding an upgrade of the braking system on the barge haul winches. The company requested that the new system use an electromagnetic brake and was interested in an overall braking system upgrade that would provide a more maintenance free solution that would hold up over time in the challenging marine environment.
- Retrofit application with desire for a bolt-in replacement and reuse of existing brake wheels
- Challenging environmental conditions including marine environment and high temperatures (100°F+ ambient temperature)
After understanding the customer’s requirements for the new barge haul winch braking system, Hindon designed and supplied a bolt-in replacement electromagnetic drum braking system with an economical, lift-off, drip proof enclosure.
The new electromagnetic drum braking system was equipped with automatic wear adjustment, a limit switch for indication “brake released,” and a field-mounted control panel provided complete with an enclosure. With the drip proof enclosure for the brake, the system was fully protected from the harsh and varied environmental conditions seen on the Mississippi River.
This thoughtfully designed and manufactured braking system was the ideal solution for the customer as it is robust, reliable, and virtually maintenance free. Commissioning Hindon’s new braking system was simple and pain-free due to its design as a bolt-in replacement and the ability to reuse the customer’s existing brake wheel. In the end, the solution was so successful that the customer continues to replace their failing thruster brakes with Hindon’s electromagnetic braking system, as allowed by the operation’s busy schedule. | <urn:uuid:021730d4-3309-4938-9fa5-ae8ffee2c44d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.hindon.com/project/barge-haul-winch-brake-retrofit-for-agriculture-processing-plant/ | 2023-09-23T17:04:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.926762 | 486 |
The Silent Service
This exhibit on the submarine service in World War II was put together by Abbott Laboratories in 1943 to tour the United States as part of their contribution to the war effort. This introduction was written for the original exhibition. The captions to the paintings, with minor alterations, were those originally written by the artists themselves.
The American public has come to regard the submarine force of the United States Navy as the "Silent Service." In some respects, this definition is accurate. It is true that, since the war began, news of the operations of U.S. submarines has been under specific restrictions. The usual communique from the Navy Department, concerning U.S. submarine activity, tells briefly of the amount of damage done to the enemy, and that is all.
But it is also true that the news policy of the Submarine Service is exactly the same as the policy of the U.S. Naval forces in general. Namely, to keep the American public as fully informed as is possible within the limits of national security. That is why the submariners of the Navy are particularly proud of the paintings and drawings exhibited in these pages. They tell, we believe, a full and vivid story of our undersea Navy and they give expression to many ideas which mere words could not convey.
Have no doubt about the authenticity of this work. The artists who created it were, in fact, submariners themselves during the time of its creation. They ate, slept, and laughed with the submariners. They worked with the men and stood watches with the officers. They lived and cruised aboard our ships and shared in every submarine experience, short of actual combat with the enemy.
And that, unfortunately, is the point at which most submarine news stops, and silence begins.
For the submariner's battle area is the enemy's doorstep. In theory, and almost practically, our submarines are in contact with the enemy, from the time they leave their base until they return. At the present writing, the Navy Department has reported the sinking of 461 Japanese ships by our submarines, with an additional 150 possibly sunk or damaged. These are mortal blows to the enemy. And you can be sure he would spare nothing, and give much for the smallest facts of how our submarines operate and what their methods are.
Therefore, the graphic stories told by the drawings and paintings presented here are all the more remarkable. Here, in rich paintings is the colorful life of the men who wage their war close to the enemy but out of sight. Here, in fine detail, is a full and expressive story of the Silent Service.

MOLINE, IL and TOKYO, JAPAN – Deere & Company and Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. jointly announced today the intent to create a 50/50 joint venture for wheel loaders in Japan.
“Through this joint venture, Deere and Hitachi will have a more complete capability for a full line of construction machinery. This joint venture will continue our effort to expand our presence in important regions in the world,” said Pierre Leroy, president of Deere’s Worldwide Construction Equipment Division.
“Hitachi and Deere are committed to providing a quality product to our respective customers,” said Ryuichi Seguchi, president of Hitachi Construction Machinery. “The creation of this joint venture to focus on four-wheel drive loaders in Japan and Asia will be another step in that commitment.”
Hitachi has operated its wheel loader business through Hitachi Furukawa Construction Co., Ltd. ( “Hitachi-Furukawa” ), a 50/50 joint venture between Hitachi and Furukawa Machinery and Metals Co., Ltd. ( “Furukawa” ) and through TCM Corporation ( “TCM” ), of which Hitachi is a 13% shareholder. In order to implement the formation of the joint venture, Hitachi has transferred its interests in Hitachi-Furukawa and TCM to Hitachi Kenki Loader Co., Ltd. ( “Hitachi Loader” ), currently a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi. Deere will acquire 50% of Hitachi Loader, and the company will change its corporate name to “Hitachi Kenki Deere Co., Ltd.” The joint venture will, for the time being, function as a holding company holding interests in Hitachi-Furukawa and TCM. It will then focus its business operations primarily in Japan and Asia. In the future, Hitachi and Deere will continue to discuss the formation of a global wheel loader business.
Deere and Hitachi have operated Deere-Hitachi Construction Machinery Corporation in North America, for manufacture and sale of hydraulic excavators. The two companies have conducted discussions with a view toward deepening their relationships and ways to expand their relationship globally. The formation of the wheel loader joint venture in Japan is the first tangible result of this new initiative. | <urn:uuid:8596a817-05dc-40fe-bee2-bbd972494d7b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.hitachicm.com/global/en/news/press-releases/2001/01-03-30/ | 2023-09-23T17:47:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.916414 | 495 |
A super-prison in Hei Ling Chau is a bad idea because it makes no sense in land use planning. [Idea indeed shelved.]
Why a super-jail is a bad idea
[Happily, in mid-October, the government shelved the super-jail plan; hope it stays shelved! – Martin; original post in Sept 2004, and super prison idea hasn’t resurfaced]
A weak government’s response to a hostile Legislature, as one popular rumour has it, is to put up bad ideas for people to reject, so that more sensible policies can come forward later.
If the Hei Ling Chau super-prison is one such idea, then let us help kill it off, quick.
A super-prison in Hei Ling Chau is a bad idea because it makes no sense in land use planning. One needs only to take a 360-degree perspective from Hei Ling Chau to appreciate that.
On one side, the island is flanked by the North Lantau attractions, including the picturesque Chi Ma Wan Peninsula, the bustling traditional tourist centre of Mui Wo, the unique community of Discovery Bay, the pleasant getaway on Peng Chau Island, and of course Disney, the super-playground on Penny’s Bay.
Barely two kilometers to its south lies Cheung Chau island, probably the world’s most compact living heritage of traditional Chinese culture in its natural environs.
Across West Lamma Channel, Hei Ling Chau overlooks Pokfulam, Cyberport and Wah Fu, which local group Civic Exchange has described as “Hong Kong’s portal to nature”. Then there is the famed Lamma Island, which, together with Hong Kong Island South, has once been described by Government’s own Planning Department as “a showpiece for Hong Kong, the Garden of the Metropolitan Area, the leisure destination for Hong Kong”.
Can one imagine, in the middle of these all, Asia’s super prison proudly announcing itself?
Granted, Hei Ling Chau is currently used as a prison, but it is a much more low-key use, with the natural character and pristine environment well preserved. Given its steep topography, little flat land, and covered mainly by natural vegetation, any substantial development will have major environmental impact on the island. The Bogadek’s Burrowing Lizard, a rare endemic species found on the island, will be endangered, as will the locally protected Burmese Python.
For the general public, Hei Ling Chau and nearby Sunshine Island are simply part of South Lantau’s beautiful landscape. It cannot be missed by any traveller from Central, whether one’s destination is Lamma, Cheung Chau or Mui Wo – and neither could any major development on Hei Ling Chau, or the bridge to connect it to Lantau, if the super-prison were to go forward.
On a more sentimental note, Hei Ling Chau, the Healing Island, has its unique place in history as the original venue of Hong Kong’s leprosarium. It later turned into a drug addiction treatment centre, before becoming the current prison and detention centre.
Such a planning context of Hei Ling Chau has almost ruled out anything other than a passive land use – whether as prison or holiday home. Any large scale development would have been incompatible. Even a super-resort is questionable, a super-prison borders on the outrageous.
It is unfortunate that some government officials have seized on opposition from Lantau residents to picture it as a NIMBY (not-in-my-back-yard) issue. But Hei Ling Chau is not just about inconvenience to nearby residents. It calls into question the bigger issues of land use planning as well as correctional policy.
I find it difficult to see how planners can sanction a super-prison concept for Hei Ling Chau, but the point is, they never had the opportunity. If a Hei Ling Chau super-prison did make planning sense, the government could have drawn up a land use showing the full development parameters, and let it be debated by the professionals and the public. No doubt it will be vehemently objected to, but government should have the confidence that eventually good planning would prevail. But no, the public is to be presented with a feasibility study – not “is it right to have a super-prison on Hei Ling Chau”, but “how best do you think the super-prison should be built there?”
A more fundamental question is whether a super-prison is needed at all. Thus far overcrowding has been cited as the main reason for the super-prison, and indeed, the overcrowding problem must be acknowledged and tackled. But the nature of the problem must be more clearly thought through, especially when one considers that a large majority of inmates at the correctional institutions are now from the Mainland.
The man-in-the-street can be forgiven for thinking that the best way to deal with criminals is to deport them immediately upon conviction – that would resolve the overcrowding problem immediately. Alternatively, a change in the court’s sentencing practice, or a re-orientation of correctional policy towards more social integration, could see prison terms being slashed and hence relieving the pressure on overcrowding.
Of course, the reality is much more complicated. These are not simple policies to be taken lightly; we should not make rash decisions without thorough discussion and debate. What the government should have conducted is a serious review of the policy on rehabilitation and correctional service. This requires a thorough consultation with the community, prisoner rights groups, rehabilitation professionals, sociologists, economists, Immigration practitioners, as well as constitutional experts on One-Country-Two-Systems. A super-prison should be one, but not the only, option to be considered.
If the super-prison option emerges as the best way forward, let there be a public debate about site selection. If at the end of that, Hei Ling Chau remained the best solution, I would still flinch on my boat trip to Cheung Chau, but at least I could take comfort that it was the community’s choice and that due process has been observed.
Dr Chan Wai-kwan is a member of the Conservancy Association, which has submitted a request to the Town Planning Board to prepare a zoning plan for Hei Ling Chau. | <urn:uuid:34f77c50-8f2f-4169-bda1-15fb372575bd> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.hkoutdoors.com/hei-ling-chau-super-jail-bad-idea-html/ | 2023-09-23T18:04:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.943061 | 1,339 |

We had a great stay. We enjoyed our weekend away. We hope to return next year if it's a available!
I was looking for a quiet fishing escape near Tampa and that's what I found it this Lake Placid waterfront home. My goal was to fish and relax but it rained the entire time. We didn't get to fish but we had a great time. We will be going back soon.
2nd time on this property as we found it to be very good for the price. This time, we were only 4 people and had a great time again going around and resting by the beautiful lake Francis.
The property is amazing and the owner is helpful and attentive. We don’t have anything negative to say about it. It was great from start to finish.
We have discovered Lake Placid and we are in love! This is our third time travelling there, we decided to go the weekend to celebrate father's day and we were so lucky to find Jonathan's house. We found out we were his first renters, it was really a priviledge. The house is so beautiful, huge spaces, extraordinary views and taken cared to the very detail. Pictures don't do justice to the beauty of the house, the lake, the stately trees... The kitchen and the house in general is well stocked, a guest doesn't need to worry about anything but to have a great time. We did swim in the lake, there is a sandbar just in front of the dock which make it so enjoyable! There is a white egret that comes by and stands still until it gets a hot dog, it is hilarous, my nephew had a great time feeding it (we were advised by Jonathan the bird likes hot dogs..lol). Thanks for sharing your home with us, we are already looking forward to come back! | <urn:uuid:9654b0a5-4a8c-48e3-bc3b-70584920af80> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.holidayrentalsbyowner.com/p23375 | 2023-09-23T18:17:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.928339 | 1,445 |
SAFE SWARM™ is a concept that demonstrates Honda’s dream to realize a collision-free society through safe and smooth traffic flow using connected car technologies. Inspired by nature, Honda R&D developed this unique SAFE SWARM™ concept with the goal of enabling vehicles to wirelessly communicate and move fluidly and efficiently without a collision like a school of fish. Using Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) technology, Honda SAFE SWARM™ allows vehicles to communicate with surrounding vehicles and share key information such as location and speed. With this information, along with the sensor suite on the vehicle, the driver or automated vehicle systems can determine the safest course of action in merging with traffic or avoiding a road hazard. Ultimately, Honda believes that connecting all road users will create a safer transportation environment, mitigating and eventually eliminating all traffic fatalities.
Honda’s SAFE SWARM™ concept can improve traffic flow by taking information from vehicles ahead to prevent potential traffic snarls, take early braking action to help avoid a wave of emergency braking, or to change lanes if needed. It does this through an on-board system with V2X communication, as well as the existing sensors on the vehicle and even sensors in the infrastructure. | <urn:uuid:06dd3f27-73d3-4ee2-9648-feee947c6709> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.honda.com/safety/safe-swarm | 2023-09-23T18:10:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.92687 | 252 |

For most of us, ageing is a fact of life. Our metabolism slows down, our bones pop when we move, our hair goes grey and, unfortunately, our skin begins to change. This often comes in the form of wrinkles, sagging skin, and dryness. To understand why and how this happens, we first need to look at the functions of the skin and how it is affected by internal and environmental factors. Sunlight, food, skincare, and stress can all affect how the skin ages. For some women, this can become a source of anxiety that is realised too late to establish any effective preventative measures.
Is there anything you can do as a preventive measure? Victoria Facelift is an effective and modern solution for women who want to feel at home in their own skin again. Positive reviews of Victoria Facelift are testament to the effectiveness of our anti-ageing treatments.
Anxieties About Ageing
Not all women may think about it in philosophical terms, but the impact is real. It’s hard not to feel anxious about wrinkles and sagging when these are visible signs telling you that you will soon be past your prime. This anxiety can be alleviated by using effective skincare products and sunscreen, but for women who started skincare late or want faster results, Victoria Facelift is the perfect choice to reset your skin for that everlasting youthful glow. To understand how this works, we need to first look at the structure of the skin and how that changes over time.
The Function and Structure of The Skin
Your skin is your largest organ. It fulfils many purposes; protecting your organs and muscles from environmental toxins, enabling you to feel pain and pleasure, protecting the body from UV radiation, maintaining moisture, producing vitamin D, regulating temperature, and acting as a barrier against mechanical, thermal and physical injury. In short, your skin does a lot, and as you age, the way you have been treating your skin will start to show.
Think of how you get red and sunburnt after a day at the beach. Over time, as a result of prolonged sun exposure or having no protection against the sun’s aggressive rays, someone may develop sunspots or wrinkles prematurely. In essence, your skin keeps score of where you’ve been and what you’ve done throughout your life.
Getting Under Your Skin
There are three main layers to the skin: the epidermis, the dermis, and the hypodermis. Each of these serves a disparate function that, when working well together, allows your skin to properly fulfill its purpose. Let’s take a closer look at each layer:
The epidermis is the topmost layer of skin and is made up of layers of keratinocytes that undergo continuous terminal maturation. Put simply, as new keratinocytes are produced, the old ones are pushed to the surface where they die and fall off the skin. If you scratch your skin and see a white mark, this is often the layer of dead keratinocytes resting on the surface.
The epidermis also contains melanocytes which control pigment, Langerhans cells which are vital for immunity, and dendritic cells and Merkel cells which function as sensory mechanoreceptors. All these work hand-in-hand to help the epidermis form an effective barrier against UV radiation, heat and water loss and pathogenic bacteria you come into contact with.
The dermis is the middle layer of skin and the connective tissue between the epidermis and hypodermis. It is larger than the other two and contains many critical structures. Hair follicles, sweat glands and nails are all embedded in this layer. Other structures like blood vessels, nerves, fibroblast cells and mast cells are critical components that are also found in the dermis.
The dermis is composed of two smaller layers: the superficial papillary layer, and the deeper reticular layer. The reticular layer is thicker and made up of fibroblast cells and elastin fibres that ensure the skin is flexible and strong. Fibroblast cells are an important structure that assists in critical collagen production.
The hypodermis, or subcutis, is the deepest layer of skin. This is where the body stores fatty adipose tissue and can dramatically vary in size between individuals. This layer aids in insulation and contributes to important thermoregulation. People who ‘run warm’ may find this is due to a thicker hypodermis, amongst other factors.
What Happens to Our Skin As We Age?
As we become older, our skin becomes more translucent, thin, and pale. This is because over time the body naturally stops producing as many new skin cells, even though the number of cell layers remains the same. The appearance of aged skin largely comes from a reduced number of melanocytes, or pigment-containing cells, in the epidermis.
This regeneration slow-down also means that there is less collagen and elastin due to fewer fibroblasts being produced. Since these are essential in giving us a springy and fresh look, limited collagen and elastin will lead to drier skin that is also less supple. This is a process known as elastosis. This is also why the skin begins to wrinkle, droop, and sag.
In old age, women will find that the sebaceous glands in the epidermis produce less oil, which can be hastened by menopause. In men, this effect is less dramatic and often only comes into effect after 80 years. The lack of oil makes it difficult for the skin to maintain moisture levels, resulting in dry and itchy skin. That in turn can cause fine lines and wrinkles to emerge over time.
Another change that occurs is in the hypodermis, which becomes thinner resulting in less plump and smooth skin. Fat from the eyelids will settle into the eye sockets, contributing to a sunken look, and the lower eyelids slacken as the muscles supporting the upper eyelid weaken, making the eyes look droopy.
Slowing Down the Ageing Process
While you cannot stop ageing entirely, there are a few proven measures that can help in slowing down the ageing process, allowing you to maintain youthful-looking skin for a longer time.
The first preventative measure is sunscreen. Studies have found that regular sunscreen use protects us against superficial photoaging including wrinkling, spotting, and loss of elasticity. To take advantage of this, ensure that you apply sunscreen daily.
And how do you choose your sunscreen? Look for one that is broad-spectrum, meaning it protects from UV and UVB radiation. It should also be at least SPF 30+ and is water-resistant. Apply it in the morning before makeup, and remember to reapply it throughout the day when it wears off.
Smoking is another thing to avoid if you wish to maintain your skin’s youthfulness. Tobacco smoke contains many toxic chemicals that may damage your skin cells and cause wrinkles around the eyes, nose, and mouth. Nasolabial folds, that is wrinkles between the bottom of the nose and edge of the mouth, are found to be deeper in smokers compared to non-smokers. Smokers also have lesser elastin and collagen fibres in comparison to non-smokers, leading to a duller complexion and drier skin.
Repair Ageing Skin with Victoria Facelift’s Signature Power-Lift Facial
Given that the skin works as your protective barrier against environmental stressors, when this barrier diminishes, it becomes increasingly difficult to block out any external damage. With more damage impeding the formation of fibroblasts and natural oils, skin ageing becomes inevitable and rapid as well.
Fortunately, not all hope is lost for ageing skin. Victoria Facelift, the anti-wrinkle and facelift expert, has developed the ideal procedure that addresses not only the visible surface issues, but also the underlying causes of skin ageing.
The swathes of positive Victoria Facelift reviews will confirm the dramatic effect of our scientifically backed anti-ageing formulation and application. Made with key ingredients like epidermal growth factor (EGF), hydrolysed collagen, and hibiscus seed extract, it is able to repair the skin from within to provide instant and satisfying results.
The EGF helps repair the epidermis and, alongside other active ingredients, will stimulate collagen and hyaluronic acid production to tighten drooping skin and smooth out wrinkles. These ingredients are delivered into the deepest layers of skin to initiate complete restoration and revitalisation.
Each session of the Victoria Facelift Power-Lift Facial will provide instant results including reductions of fine lines, wrinkles, dark circles and sagging skin to improve general appearance whilst helping the skin maintain an appropriate moisture balance.
If you’re interested in trying out our services, simply schedule an appointment with us through our website. Inclusive of a computerised skin scan and personal consultation with our skincare experts, one session will put you on the right track to achieving strong, youthful-looking skin. | <urn:uuid:63ee288f-0f7f-45c0-bacb-0f86fbf76050> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.hpility.sg/understanding-our-skin-structure-why-do-we-experience-ageing/ | 2023-09-23T18:15:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.936941 | 1,907 |

Sports Illustrated—December 6, 2016
Ian McMahan of SI.com reports on how former NFL quarterback Doug Flutie stays active at 54. Flutie is still driven by the desire to compete and excel, which has pushed him to seek new challenges, such as training and competing in an ocean lifeguard challenge and playing adult-league baseball, regardless of any sore joints.
Many older athletes have accumulated injuries over an active life which may make exercise uncomfortable. It's also important to realize that not every tight hip or sore ankle is because of arthritis.
The right exercise program can actually improve the health of the knee's remaining cartilage.
"Do more, not less," said Jordan D. Metzl, MD, sports medicine surgeon at HSS. "High-intensity exercise and muscle strengthening can lessen the symptoms of arthritis."

Still, the mobile and tablet versions of Genshin Impact start to heat up pretty heavily on high resolution. Therefore, the frequency of this game starts to drop and it cannot achieve stable frame rates such as 60FPS.
Genshin Impact has a special program of version 2.1 that and it’ll be announced in September. The official also showed the four characters, of the version. The availability of the new resolution may remain in China but any confirmation from the official channel is yet to come. | <urn:uuid:dadb2189-bad0-4eca-9a36-8901c336646e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.huaweiupdate.com/genshin-impact-game-is-said-bring-1080p-game-resolution-for-harmonyos-2-devices/ | 2023-09-23T17:09:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.906363 | 208 |
Milan / Contraste: the dreamlike playground of Matias Perdomo
The first time I heard of Matias Perdomo, he was working as head chef at Al Pont de Ferr, restaurant located in the trendy area of Navigli.
Perdomo joined this traditional Milanese osteria with a good ‘wine’ tradition in 2006 and made it an experimental hub for molecular cuisine, bringing the space created by Maida Mercuri to the Michelin star in 2011.
Last year, in June, I finally had the opportunity to try the cuisine of this Uruguayan chef in his new playground, Contraste, opened in 2015.
The restaurant is an oasis of silence and creativity. A bronze statue at the entrance invites silence, white unplanned tables with cloud-shaped lamps in a dark dining room set the scene with order for the play, menu brings you directly in your dreams.
The menu is just a mirror because the gate to the food journey is the customer itself, his/her mood, his/her emotions and adventurous spirit. Before 2017, other 2 tasting menus were available but nowadays it is only about customers’ requests and desires.
Our dinner started with a carousel of amuse-bouche, internationally inspired: from the south American chips of guacamole (with cereal) and tapioca (with eel) to the ‘french’ inspired fois gras cream caramel with fig up to the Campari bon bon, reminiscence of Girona and the Roca brothers.
The dishes that followed were pure expression of a creativity strongly influenced by the Italian professional history of the chef, dating back to its 18 years and an Italian restaurant in Montevideo, (but also by the south American origins):
- Gabilo is an homage to the Piedmontese tradition with the fish, similar in texture to codfish but tender, covered in bagna cauda sauce (made with anchovies, garlic, olive oil and butter) and accompanied by some small giardiniera gels – providing a slight pickled taste. The gabilo is perfectly cooked sous-vide at 55 degrees fully preserving the taste despite the aggressive flavors on the plate
- Ceviche is served as a mosaic of ingredients including grapefruit (a bit too sour), avocado, squid ink gelatin (adding the real fish punch to the dish) and a biscuit cube (added to provide a crunchy consistency but probably too hard)
- Sweetbread, the thymus of the pancreas and typical ingredient of Milanese cuisine, is grilled, pan fried and served with meat juice / coffee sauce and lemon foam. The result is excellent, especially considering the use of such a ‘tricky’ ingredient
- Smoked puree dumplings are served with the Southern burrata and the more Nordic pickled onion and smoked eel. Dumplings result only lightly smoked and with an interesting texture
- Ravioli, typical dish of the Emilian tradition, are filled with slow-cooked onions and finished with parmesan sauce and caviar. The filling is very good but the dish indulges a bit too much with the natural saltiness of its ingredients
- Lasagna is perfectly camouflaged in the shape of a donut but keeps the same thickness of the dough and (unfortunately) the same heaviness of the traditional recipe. Even though the shape demonstrate a class in the use of techniques, the taste of the dish remains in the range of the familiar Sunday lunch
- Entraña, Argentinian skirt steak, is accompanied by a Sicilian caponata cream hold in the shape of a small caramelized eggplant. The light acid taste of the vinegar and the sweet note of the coating well replicate the taste of caponata and milden the fatty/buttery taste of meat
The talent of chef Perdomo is undisputed. Its creativity makes all dishes very pleasant to see and discover but sometimes the taste seems lacking the same elegant evolution of the shapes and ability shown.
Certainly an address to discover, waiting for the next steps of a dreamlike future. | <urn:uuid:7eec27c7-9269-4e4c-9525-6ca1ed2260f1> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.hungryitalianintown.com/single-post/2017/09/15/contraste-the-dreamlike-playground-of-matias-perdomo | 2023-09-23T17:08:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.935838 | 855 |
Haman the Agagite
This week we talked about Haman and his hatred for the Jews. It makes a little sense that he would be angry at Mordecai, since Mordecai would not bow down to him. But to hate and want to destroy all the Jews. Now that's a different story!
Below are the verses about Haman's genealogy. From the time of Esau the family tree has pointed to one thing...the Jews and the Amalekites would be mortal enemies.
First of all we need to know that an Agagite is the same as an Amalekite. The verses below will show you this. You will also see how the Amalekites attacked a defenseless group of Israelites and how Saul disobeyed God's command to destroy the Amalekites.
1. Amalekites are descendants of Esau
Esau’s son Eliphaz also had a concubine named Timna, who bore him Amalek. These were grandsons of Esau’s wife Adah.
So Amalek is Esau’s grandson. AMalelek is the father of the Amelakites.
2. The Amalekites Attack the Israelites
God was not happy that the Amalekites attacked the Israelites as they were leaving Egypt for the Promised Land. And how they attaches was despicable. They targeted the old, the young, the weak...any stragglers at the back of the group.
8 The Amalekites came and attacked the Israelites at Rephidim. 9 Moses said to Joshua, “Choose some of our men and go out to fight the Amalekites. Tomorrow I will stand on top of the hill with the staff of God in my hands.”
10 So Joshua fought the Amalekites as Moses had ordered, and Moses, Aaron and Hur went to the top of the hill. 11 As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning. 12 When Moses’ hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up—one on one side, one on the other—so that his hands remained steady till sunset. 13 So Joshua overcame the Amalekite army with the sword.
14 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write this on a scroll as something to be remembered and make sure that Joshua hears it, because I will completely blot out the name of Amalek from under heaven.”
15 Moses built an altar and called it The Lord is my Banner. 16 He said, “Because hands were lifted up against[c] the throne of the Lord,[d] the Lord will be at war against the Amalekites from generation to generation.”
17 “Remember what Amalek did to you on the way when you came out of Egypt, 18 how he confronted you on the way and attacked among you all the stragglers at your rear when you were tired and weary; and he did not fear God. 19 So it shall come about, when the Lord your God has given you rest from all your surrounding enemies in the land which the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance to possess, that you shall wipe out the mention of the name Amalek from under heaven; you must not forget.
3. Saul’s Disobedience
Saul disobeyed and the LORD regretted He had made him King.
1 Samuel 15
15 Then Samuel said to Saul, “The Lord sent me to anoint you as king over His people, over Israel; now therefore, listen to the words of the Lord.
2 This is what the Lord of armies says: ‘I will [punish Amalek fo rwhat he did to Israel, in that he obstructed him on the way while he was coming up from Egypt.
3 Now go and strike Amalek and completely destroy everything that he has, and do not spare him; but put to death both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’”
4 Then Saul summoned the people and counted them in Telaim: two hundred thousand foot soldiers and ten thousand men of Judah. 5 And Saul came to the city of Amalek and set an ambush in the wadi. 6 But Saul said to the Kenites, “Go, get away, go down from among the Amalekites, so that I do not destroy you along with them; for you showed kindness to all the sons of Israel when they went up from Egypt.” So the Kenites got away from among the Amalekites. 7 Then Saul defeated the Amalekites, from Havilah going toward Shur, which is east of Egypt.
8 He captured Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and completely destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword. 9 But Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the sheep, the oxen, the more valuable animals, the lambs, and everything that was good, and were unwilling to destroy them completely; but everything despicable and weak, that they completely destroyed.
10 Then the word of the Lord came to Samuel, saying, 11 “I regret that I have made Saul king, because he has turned back from following Me and has not carried out My commands.”
And the Lord regretted that He had made Saul king over Israel. | <urn:uuid:e8018ef6-f46f-4346-a2cb-c1b226fa82df> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.huske.com/post/haman-the-agagite | 2023-09-23T16:37:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.975268 | 1,192 |
Florida Divorce: Does A Stay-At-Home Parent Automatically Get More Timesharing?
According to a survey from the Pew Research Center, 27 percent of mothers and 7 percent of fathers report that they are stay-at-home parents. For families with a stay-at-home parent, divorce can be especially challenging. You may be wondering: Does the stay-at-home parent automatically get more timesharing than the working parent?? The answer is ‘no’—though each parent’s relationship with the child(ren) and ability to provide a stable life will be relevant factors. In this article, our Boca Raton and Parkland divorce attorneys explain the key things to know about stay-at-home parenting and child custody (called “timesharing”) in Florida.
Know the Law: Florida is a “Best Interests of the Child” State
As a starting point, is it important to understand the standard that our state’s family law courts apply when determining a timesharing schedule for minor children. Under Florida law (Florida Statutes § 61.13(3)), “the best interest of the child shall be the primary consideration” when establishing or modifying parental responsibilities and parenting time. If there is a conflict over what the timesharing schedule should be, a Florida court will consider all factors relevant to determining what type of arrangement is in the child’s best interests, including:
- Each parent’s demonstrated parenting ability;
- The developed relationship between parent and child;
- Each parent’s ability to provide a stable, secure home environment;
- The reasonable preference of the child—if mature enough to give input; and
- Any history of abuse or neglect.
No Automatic Schedule in Favor of a Stay-at-Home Parent, But Relationship Matters
As noted above, there are no automatic preferences for the stay-at-home parent to have greater timesharing with the children. Indeed, the Florida statute does not directly speak to the matter. That being said, the demonstrated parenting knowledge, demonstrated parenting ability, and existing relationship between each parent and their children will matter. In practice, this means that while a Court may find that the child’s best interest is served by awarding the non-working parent a greater share of the timesharing, our experienced attorneys will guide you in putting forth your strongest case to the Court, no matter the circumstances. Florida law requires a detailed review of the statutory factors to help the Court establish a timesharing schedule in the best interest of the child.
Courts Prefer Shared Parenting (Parenting Plan)
It is also important to emphasize that Florida courts strongly prefer some form of collaborative parenting. State policy presumes that it is inherently in the best interests of a child to have a positive, consistent relationship with both of their parents. Stay-at-home families who navigate the divorce process can often benefit from working towards a mutually agreeable custody and visitation arrangement. Our Boca Raton and Parkland divorce and custody lawyers can help you work towards a solution that protects your parental rights and is in the best interests of your family.

Over the past 10 years, the development of Next Generation Sequencing approaches has led to a 4-log drop in sequencing costs. This development has made it possible to tackle projects that were once considered impossible due to the high costs involved. One such project is for example the 1,000 Genomes Project that is aimed at defining human genetic diversity Worldwide. I will develop in this presentation how the combination of the characteristics of the sequences generated in these projects and the methodological approaches used to analyze these sequences often leads to the mischaracterization of the most variable immune regions. An example of a novel gene characterized in the laboratory will be presented to illustrate both the challenges and the importance of these analyses. Finally, I will discuss how these analyses can be integrated to generate more realistic and accurate evolutionary studies, in particular studies of convergent or parallel evolution. | <urn:uuid:be2a484f-a13d-4a36-ba6e-88a86c0b93e0> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.i2m.univ-amu.fr/events/next-generation-sequencing-strengths-and-weaknesses-of-the-ongoing-sequencing-revolution-to-assess-immune-variability/ | 2023-09-23T16:53:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.916501 | 195 |
2021 New Rides & Attractions: Water Park Roundup
Opening this year, Thailand’s new Andamanda Phuket water park is a showcase for WhiteWater water slides and attractions, including the company’s AquaDrop, Bubba Tub, Boomerango, Whizzard, FlowRider Double, WaveOz, Speed Slide, Rattler, Surf Wave Pool, and more.
“We have selected crowd-pleasers, like the six-lane Whizzard, as well as the more thrilling slides like the Bubba Tub, the Boomerango and the AquaLoop with AquaLaunch, making sure that we have something for everyone,” says Proudputh Liptapanlop, executive director of Vana Nava Co. Ltd. (Andamanda Phuket’s owner). “We also wanted to focus on the leisure or ‘non-water slide’ experience of the park. Hence, we decided to go with a surfing wave pool, as well as a double FlowRider. These leisure experiences will help us to appeal to a wider range of patrons, increase the time spent within the park, and provide a platform for doing events and competitions in the future.”
OCT Wuhan opened an AquaCourse 240 complex from WhiteWater, a play structure that integrates water play into a ropes course. To double the capacity of WhiteWater’s 120 model, the AquaCourse 240 has an additional second level of decks and bridges for harnessed guests to enjoy. This attraction allows participants to spray and splash each other by pulling ropes, pushing buttons, and stepping on foot-activated water elements.
Quarteira, Algarve, Portugal
Portugal’s Aquashow Park launched a ProSlide MammothBlast water coaster and Tornado water slide this season. “The MammothBlast is a slide where practically all the family can go together and offers in its design the experience of a roller coaster, which makes it unique,” says Juri Tietzen, the park’s operation manager. “Tornado was chosen because it offers nearly the same experience (family slide with some thrill), and it fits perfectly in our indoor park project.”
“The MammothBlast is a big success,” Tietzen adds. “The clients love it, and we have been getting very good feedback.”
Dueling Water Coaster
Cafalandia Water Park
Cafalandia Water Park unveiled ProSlide’s Dueling PipelineBlast/FlyingSaucer Water Coaster to guests in Bogota, Colombia. Winner of the 2019 IAAPA Impact Award, this competitive water coaster-style slide pits riders against each other through high-speed straightaways and six FlyingSaucer swirling turns. The new slide also uses ProSlide’s patented Blast water nozzles in two sections to propel riders up inclines. To respect Cafalandia’s robust and lush vegetation, ProSlide’s ride design team adapted the water slide’s ride path to preserve as much of the landscape as possible.
Evergrande Ocean Flower Water Park
Danzhou, Hainan, China
The new Evergrande Ocean Flower Water Park—located on an artificial archipelago off the coast of Danzhou, Hainan, China—is home to 15 ProSlide water rides, including a 359-meter-long ProSlide RocketBlast Water Coaster. According to ProSlide, this ride uses eight high-powered water jet sections to propel riders higher, faster, and longer than conventional “blaster” coasters. The park is also home to TornadoWave, which sends each six-person inflatable across a large curved wall.
Platja d’Aro, Girona, Spain
Located on Spain’s Mediterranean Coast, Aquadiver water park opened a new Kids Area with ProSlide’s assistance. “There is a new pool with five kids’ slides, including a green-and-white Kidz TornadoWave and an orange-and-white Kidz Tornado,” says Aquadiver co-owner Joan Cama. “To have those two slides in the same pool makes it special, and what really makes it special for our young visitors is that they have two slides that the adults don’t have yet in our parks.”
Orlando, Florida, United States
As spring break got underway across the U.S., Aquatica opened “Riptide Race” by ProSlide, a tall dueling racing slide. The battle begins atop a 68-foot tower, where a pair of two-person rafts zooms down a 650-foot flume through tunnels, twists, and turns.
“Low walls throughout the ride experience allow racers to see other as they race side by side,” says Aquatica Vice President Brad Gilmour. “There has been a lot of buzz around the fact that riders who are racing each other can see each throughout the slide experience, and it’s common to hear lots of ‘competitive chatter’ at the finish line.”
“Riptide Race’s” 42-inch height requirement is a plus with Aquatica guests. “They have been especially excited that the entire family can enjoy this slide,” Gilmour tells Funworld.
Building “Riptide Race” during the pandemic wasn’t easy. “At times, international travel caused delays, but we were very impressed with our team’s ability to work through each hurdle to ensure this new attraction opened up for spring break,” says Gilmour.
Nanjing, Jiangsu, China
Nanjing’s newly opened Huachang Dragon Valley complex is home to the indoor/outdoor water park Storm Beach. Outdoors, WhiteWater installed a high-thrills water ride area that includes AquaLoop and Flatline Loop Fusions, AquaLoops, and AquaDrops. The company also built attractions for younger water-loving guests such as the Mini Rattler, Mini Boomerango, and Mini AquaSphere.
Phase two of Europa-Park’s massive indoor water park opened outside in 2021 with the debut of “Svalgurok.” The water play structure adds 10 outdoor slides to Rulantica.
“The feedback of our guests is very positive—especially the wide outdoor area—which was extremely well-received during the coronavirus crisis,” says Michael Kreft von Byern, director of Rulantica.
The monumental theming of “Svalgurok” includes a towering snake head—that’s animated—and moves along with an oversized bucket that pours water on guests below. ProSlide, in collaboration with Show Canada, created the serpent-like feature that coils around the 10 slides and 100 water play devices.
What guest don’t see while splashing? The subterranean city built under their feet.
“The whole area of ‘Svalgurok’ is built with a basement, which was not only built for pumps and electrical engineering, but also as a storage area that can be used by our food and beverage and shopping departments. The area is comfortably reachable via a delivery ramp,” explains Kreft von Byern. The underground lair allows for deliveries and employees to arrive outside of guest view, preserving the magic of Rulantica.
Aquaventure Waterpark, Atlantis Dubai
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Aquaventure Waterpark at Atlantis Dubai added a full range of ProSlide attractions for the 2021 season, many of them anchored on their 48-meter-tall “Trident Tower.”
Attractions on the tower include “Odyssey of Terror,” a Double TornadoWave model, and “Shockwave,” a family rafting water coaster that uses Blast propulsion. “Trident Tower” also sports the “Medusa’s Lair” dueling slide, the “Blackout” vertical drop body slide, and “Hydra Racers” with four lanes of competitive racing.
“In addition to the new slides at ‘Trident Tower,’ we have opened the ‘Immortal Falls’ cliff jumping experience,” says Sascha Triemer, Atlantis Dubai’s vice president of marine and water park. “We also have ‘Raging Rapids,’ where guests can experience a number of roaring water elements and different zones of wave intensity while travelling around the water park.”
Fortunately for Atlantis Dubai, COVID-19 posed no significant challenges in readying the new attractions for 2021. “The restrictions on water park occupancy gave us rather the advantage on completing expansion to an existing water park on a faster pace and launching the tower on time,” Triemer says.

Six Flags installed two new slides at their two water parks in Illinois in 2021. Hurricane Harbor Chicago, located next door to Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, Illinois, opened the “Tsunami Surge” water coaster.
“Towering 86 feet high, ‘Tsunami Surge’ propels riders up three gravity-defying uphill blasts, through five hairpin turns, and down five breathtaking drops,” says Caitlin Kepple, communications and marketing manager for Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor. Guests zooming through “Tsunami Surge” can reach speeds up to 28 mph.
Meanwhile, Hurricane Harbor Rockford in Cherry Valley, Illinois, opened the “Tidal Wave” water slide, a Tailspin model that WhiteWater says combines the high-banking rotations of a bowl with the rapid descent of a flume.
Hurricane Harbor Rockford’s new “Tidal Wave” “takes riders on a 43-foot swirling descent through three whirling high-speed turns,” Kepple says. Six Flags chose to use WhiteWater’s AquaLucent technology, which utilizes sunlight entering tube sections to create a speed-of-light sensation. | <urn:uuid:66e0849f-1769-47b0-81cb-8f39549f6e1a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.iaapa.org/news/funworld/2021-new-rides-attractions-water-park-roundup | 2023-09-23T17:10:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.914505 | 2,274 |

We have used the Very Large Array to image a single field in a set of adjacent frequency bands around 333.0 MHz in an attempt to detect 21 cm emission from large scale H I inhomogeneities at a redshift of z = 3.3. Following the subtraction of continuum radio sources, the absence of any spectral signals apart from that expected due to the system thermal noise has been used to derive constraints on the evolutionary scenario leading to the formation of the present day clusters of galaxies. The observations rule out the existence of H I protoclusters at

The absolute temperature of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) has been measured at a frequency of 1280 MHz. The observation was made with a modified version of the L-band receiver used in the Giant Metre wavelength Radio Telescope (GMRT): the feed horn was replaced by a corrugated plate and the receiver was placed on the ground, directed at zenith, and shielded from ground radiation by an aluminium screen with corrugated edges. Novel techniques have been adopted for
•reducing and cancelling unwanted contributions to the system temperature of the receiver and
•calibrating the contributions from the feed assembly and receiver.
The thermodynamic temperature of the CMB is estimated to be 3.45 ± 0.78 K.

We present 18 GHz observations of the Bullet cluster using the Austalia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA), which show structure in the Sunyaev–Zeldovich effect; in particular, a deep, compact feature which does not correspond to any bright feature in X-ray, optical or lensing maps. In general, the relatively deeper SZE features appear to avoid the regions with the most intense X-ray emission. SZE displaced from X-ray centres implies that modeling cluster dynamics is non-trivial. The SZE distribution in the western parts of the cluster are co-spatial with the radio halo indicative of a common origin for the hot and relativistic electrons in the turbulent wake of the Bullet.

A key science project for SKA-Low is the interferometer imaging of spatio-temporal fluctuations in the hydrogen ionization fraction and spin temperature as a diagnostic of cosmic dawn (CD) and epoch of reionization (EoR) in the redshift range $6 \lesssim z \lesssim 28$. However, detection of the global CD/EoR signal, which provides the differential HI 21-cm brightness temperature with respect to the background radiation temperature, is outside the current purview of SKA-Low observing in interferometer mode. This global CD/EoR signal can provide the critical zero-spacing measurement vital for establishing the base level of fluctuations measured by SKA-Low interferometers. We present here, a concept to detect the global CD/EoR signal as a supplement to the CD/EoR key science of SKA-Low. This would be enabled by adding a compact array of outrigger antennas interspersed between the core stations of SKA-Low. The autocorrelations of the outrigger antennas would form the measurement set for the global CD/EoR. The visibilities measured between outriggers and SKA stations would be `blind' to the global CD/EoR signal and would provide a Global Sky Model and calibration of the bandpass and mode-coupling in the primary beam of the outriggers. The global signal measurement capabilitywill strengthen the SKA-Low CD/EoR program.
