Manley® Complete Plug‑In Bundle
Manley Complete Bundle
I was wondering how good was going to be the Massive Passive plug in version vs the real hardware.Very very close to it.It sounds very smooth and natural in each frequency range, even with high amount of processing.Incredible game changer!!!
Nice option when I mastered in the box without my NuMu unit. Similar color.
The sound is perfect, but the interface of the UAD plug-in is too small. It is very unfriendly to audio workers with poor eyesight. I hope Universal Audio can update it as soon as possible to enlarge the plug-in interface.
Love Universal plugins
I should have used this sooner. This plugin works great in Master. Even a bus truck is good enough. Simple to use and very musical. Great!
Thanks Universal Audio and Manley
Just a couple of db on the two bus and you're golden
Essential part of my master channel
So much realistic colours…great one!
M. Ramos Jiménez
Essential in the mix bus.
I mainly use this plugin in the mix bus. If you want a paste mix with analog color, this is your plugin.
Included Massive Passive EQ and Mastering Version
I owned the hardware but I still buy this because I can use it on every tracks at the same time.
amazing.. thing.. yeah...
wow.. this is..
very good.. butter sound.. good...!!
im Egyptian music producer (Disha ) I Love it <3
A real massive passive
I am using the massive passive since 2007(hardware) .. i tried hard to find a difference between it and the uad software version ... they r the same ... try it yourself
I hear nothing but love, plus my vox box, killer
Best Purchase To Date!
This Manley Bundle is something I’ve been wanting for awhile now, especially the VoxBox. Couldn’t even imagine what the hardware sounds like but the plugins are outstanding! Best purchase to date!
The Butter to the Bread
I’ve been obsessed with this compressor for years now. It’s the warm hug that every “cold” mix that arrives for mastering. This plug-in is spot on to the hardware unit we’ve all grown to love.
Manley Massive Passive, my favorite mastering EQ
One of the things I like the most is that it doesn't sound harsh, it sounds nice and sweet. It's not like EQ's I'm used to adjusting, you have to play with it a bit, But as I spend some time with it I get rewarded with something that is quite different from my other EQ's. It's got a bit of magic to it, try it and see for yourself.
Fucking Good Hell ya!
Works OK - Weird resonances on the low end
I was looking for a replacement of my Voltera-Kernel plugin version of the Massive Passive due to the software being unstable somewhat.
This does a passable job, but the low and high cuts have unpleasant resonances on certain settings that makes this my second choice for transparent EQ for the low & high end. If Acustica Audio Magenta was more stable, I'd not need this. | <urn:uuid:1a8b8c5c-c3a9-409c-99a1-6fbbdcd9467e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.uaudio.jp/review/manley-complete-plug-in-bundle?___store=uaudiojp&___from_store=default&p=3&setsite=en&setsite=ja | 2023-09-23T18:18:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.913395 | 831 |
Imbizo” was a song by Da Capo and his associate Phuzekhemisi, and it was a winner on release. Now Da Capo has retouched the song and what you have is “Imbizo (Da Capo’s Touch).”
If you’re familiar with Da Capo, you probably already know he’s a creator of lyrical winners. And to his credit, he’s created another winner that will delight many out there.
This is not the first time he has retouched a song, nor is it the first time he has dropped a remix. Here, it may be said; he’s continuing from where he stopped while maintaining old energy.
Da Capo is one of the notable voices in South Africa’s house and electronic music spaces, and while do doesn’t release every day, his projects are usually stuff to hear and share. He recently took fans into his creative orbit, spinning lyrical winners while delivering his set on the Kunye platform founded by DJ Shimza.
“Imbizo (Da Capo’s Touch)” is a song for those who value a good time and good music but without boring breaks. You may think of it as another reason to look out for more songs from the songster and place him among the musos worth having on a playlist.

The steady rise in prices since mid-last year had been attributed to a global recovery in demand, as countries reopened up their economies after disruptions by COVID-19. China was leading this demand, according to reports, as the industrial sector there returned to full life.
Just over three weeks ago, fuel prices were on the rise
around the world and a barrel of crude had jumped from under 50 US Dollars
to more than 70 US Dollars.
The steady rise in prices since mid-last year had
been attributed to a global recovery in demand, as countries reopened up their
economies after disruptions by COVID-19. China was leading this demand,
according to reports, as the industrial sector there returned to full life.
The oil producers’ cartel, OPEC and its allies
like Russia, agreed under the OPEC+ partnership to cut supplies to record low
levels during the COVID-19 pandemic-induced lockdowns as demand plummeted.
as the demand started rising again, OPEC+ agreed to increase output by 400,000
barrels per day every month. However, this served to only slow down the rising
prices of crude, but not to stop them.
The barrel then hit 80 US Dollars in January,
before the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February. In two weeks of the
invasion, the prices jumped to more than 130 dollars a barrel as speculation
grew over the uncertainty of Russia exporting oil.
This should ordinarily have led to the high
profitability of the oil and gas companies, and subsequently sharp gains in the
stocks around the world because investors are attracted by profit. However,
investors are also attracted by predictability, stability and certainty, which
could not be guaranteed in the European markets.
So, as crude oil prices rose, stocks of oil and
gas companies have been volatile, but largely downward.
Russia is the second-largest producer of oil with 9.8
million barrels per day, following the US, with 11.3 million barrels, and ahead
of South Arabia (9.2 million barrels), while the three countries account for 40
per cent of global production.
Russia is also an important global player in the
production of finished petroleum products.
An embargo or a withdrawal from production by any
of them will disrupt the global industry, oil being a global commodity trade.
At full capacity, Uganda would be producing 230,000 barrels per day and would
The invasion of Ukraine by Russia was followed by
economic sanctions which saw major oil and gas investors withdraw their
participation in Russia’s industry, led by Shell and BP of the UK. Since late
February, a Russian oil tanker, NS Champion has been denied docking at several
ports, with would-be buyers apparently shunning it.
Norway's energy giant Equinor agreed to begin
exiting joint ventures in Russia and halt new investments there. French
giant, TotalEnergies, said it was halting new investments in the country,
US-based ExxonMobil and Italian energy group Eni, also announced the suspension
of investments. This increased the pressure on global prices. The complexity of the situation makes it hard to even tell
when retail prices of oil (at the pump station, might start falling.
The Economic Policy Research Centre at Makerere University
attributes the current general rise in prices to a combination of factors, but
mainly the global recovery from the Covid-19 effects, leading to rise in
“Similarly, for fuel, the OPEC
prices for crude oil has increased significantly mainly because of increasing
COVID-19 vaccination rates, relaxation of containment measures, and a global
economic rebound that resulted in the worldwide petroleum demand rising faster
than supply,” says EPRC in a statement.
The Russia-Ukraine conflict is
only abetting the already bad situation, because the affected region is a major
producer of both oil and agricultural commodities, like wheat and sunflower, a major
input for vegetable oil. “The sanctions placed on
Russia will severely affect the prices of key commodities, notably oil and gas,”
says the EPRC. Crude oil acquired expensively means will lead to a higher
prices finished product.
The higher priced finished product (fuel) will be used
to transport crude to the refineries and the finished products to the consumer
It is also true however, according to experts, that oil
companies will also take advantage of the assumed oil scarcity to raise prices
of the product at all levels.
"We cannot allow big oil companies to continue to take
advantage of the war in Ukraine and inflation to make huge profits by jacking
up gas prices. Over the past 5 days, the average wholesale gas price has gone down
by 21 cents a gallon and the price of oil has gone down by over $15 a barrel.
the average price of a gallon of gas at the pump has gone UP by 21 cents a
gallon. We need a windfall profits tax," says US Senator Bernie Sanders. Economist Dr. Fred Muhumuza says the situation is just
unfolding, and the people that influence the value chain will have to look for
safer areas to put their money.
//Cue in: “But actually…
Cue out: …for some time.”//
And to-date, the OPEC+ leaders have decided to
stick to their oil plan of increasing output, with the next increase of 400,000
barrels per day expected in April, despite the skyrocketing prices. Following
the talks between the two countries at war on Monday, crude prices dropped to
below 100 US Dollars, with the Ukrainian President and experts indicating that the
negotiations were becoming substantive.
The price drop was also partly attributed to the
new COVID-19 lockdown measures in China which have affected Wuhan city and the
surrounding Hubei Province. U.S. shale companies like Diamondback Energy,
Continental Resources and EOG Resources are becoming the new production
influencers for the global oil market, rising to compete with major producers
Russia and Saudi Arabia.
Shaling of oil is unconventional oil production
from oil shale rock fragments, by basically fracturing the rock (fracking) to
extract the product.
It is quicker to get onto the market because this system
produces oil that oil can be used immediately as a fuel or upgraded to meet
refinery feedstock specifications by adding hydrogen and removing impurities
such as sulfur and nitrogen.
It has attracted giants like Exxon Mobil, Chevron
and Royal Dutch Shell, which are heavily investing in the activities.
whether investors moving away from Russia would channel their money into
Uganda’s oil and gas industry as an alternative, Dr. Muhumuza thinks otherwise.
He says that instead, the investors are looking
for a quick solution to cover the gap created immediately and that this might
instead affect Uganda, whose oil is expected in 2025 at the earliest.
//Cue in: “So, the cost…
Cue out: …solution to them."//
Whether this slowdown or decline in prices will hold will depend
on how the conflict goes on and if the oil producers continue raising
production, according to analysts.
This would then give hope for petroleum importing
countries like Uganda of easing pump prices. | <urn:uuid:58b9a9e4-0848-4f5c-a3ba-c03ac3120e00> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.ugandaradionetwork.net/story/the-ukraine-war-cant-help-ugandas-oil-experts | 2023-09-23T18:01:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.955277 | 1,567 |
When the 2018 Notre Dame football season kicks off on Sept. 1 against the Michigan Wolverines, the offensive line will take on a new look with Irish stalwarts turned first-round picks Mike McGlinchey and Quenton Nelson collecting NFL paychecks after brilliant careers. Part of that new appearance will take shape on the right side of the line.
That’s where the duo of sophomores Tommy Kraemer and Robert Hainsey will take up residence at guard and tackle, respectively. Last season, the two players formed a largely effective tandem at the right tackle slot, which helped protect Irish signal caller Brandon Wimbush and pave the way for Notre Dame’s strong rushing attack. Kraemer will now essentially be asked to take over the duties of Nelson.
Tommy Kraemer: Making the Move
At 6-foot-6, 315 pounds, Kraemer would seem better suited to simply move over to that left side to replace McGlinchey. However, the Notre Dame coaching staff is confident that this former high school standout possesses the chops to help the right side of the line become the more dominant after years of the team favoring the left.
Even though both Kraemer and Hainsey were playing in their first season for the Irish last year, Kraemer was the one who started in 12 games in 2018. He already has an aggressive nature when it comes to line play which, coupled with his huge size, could afford Notre Dame runners plenty of room to run on the right side of the ball. In fact, in many ways Kraemer is reminiscent of Nelson who some felt could play tackle on the collegiate level as well.
Kraemer’s combination of size and power will, at the very least, make it more difficult for defenders to get to whatever Notre Dame player happens to be carrying the ball. While he’s improved in the area of pass protecting, his new spot will be more focused on his strong skills on running plays.
Robert Hainsey: Taking Full Control
Hainsey is 6-foot-5 and 290 pounds, a stature that offers an imposing presence at tackle. Of course, how well he holds up to his new full starting role remains to be seen. However, like Kraemer, his pre-Irish pedigree gives every indication that he’ll be up to the task, especially after having performed acceptably as a true freshman.
That development was aided by the fact that he was already integrated into the Irish system in last year’s training camp, the byproduct of beginning his studies at South Bend in January 2017. While he made some typical rookie mistakes, the belief is that those inevitable growing pains are in the past and that he’s prepared to take the next step forward.
Hainsey wasn’t expected to be a regular contributor let alone take place in a near 50/50 split at right tackle last year either. He forced his way into the lineup with a strong fall camp. Now it looks like he won’t see his way out of the lineup until he is following in the footsteps of McGlinchey and Nelson in collecting a NFL paycheck.
For most of this year’s spring ball, the idea was that Hainsey would actually be the player to fill McGlinchey’s shoes on the left side. That vision changed when Liam Eichenberg showed enough to get the nod from coaches, which allowed Hainsey to stay in his comfort zone. Depending on how well Eichenberg does when things get real, Hainsey could eventually find himself over there during the campaign.
For now though, Hainsey and Kraemer give Notre Dame a stabilizing force – coupled with the veteran leadership of Alex Bars and Sam Mustipher – to give Notre Dame fans hope the offensive line won’t miss much of a beat despite replacing two of the programs all-time greats.
Broadening Their Game
Part of the reason that Hainsey and Kraemer shared the right tackle position last year was due to the two players’ differing strengths. Hainsey thrived as a pass blocker, while Kramer was more effective in enhancing the potent Irish running game. One sign that Hainsey could handle the position was in the fact that he kept some big-time opposing pass rushers in check.
Of course, should some of the younger tackles start making their presence felt during the course of the year or injuries occur, Hainsey has the flexibility and athleticism to to move to over to left guard. His quickness is prized, but the expectation is that he’ll be anchored on the right side all season long.
A Blueprint for the Future?
With the success that the Hainsey/Kraemer duo had in 2017, Notre Dame very well could test the waters with more duos this year. Playing both last season is allowing Notre Dame to essentially replace two starters on the offensive line with someone who has already played extensively.
The formula worked in 2017 with great success. With Bars and Mustipher headed to the NFL in 2019, doing the same this year with Liam Eichenberg and perhaps Josh Lugg could provide similar flexibility next season.
The Bottom Line
Regardless of where this talented duo ends up, the opponents on this year’s Notre Dame offensive line still has their hands full starting week one with one of the best defenses in the country – Michigan. Given the rarity of losing two offensive lineman who were among the top ten draft selections, it has to be reassuring to the Notre Dame faithful to know that Hainsey and Kraemer are still around. | <urn:uuid:81a1dfd9-32c4-43d0-aaf2-9a71535bbaf2> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.uhnd.com/football/2018/08/14/hainsey-kraemer-give-notre-dame-ol-stability-turnover-year/ | 2023-09-23T18:19:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.973655 | 1,150 |

The booming healthcare industry will generate 250,000 new jobs over the next five years fuelled by increased government investment, demand from the National Disability Insurance Scheme and the ageing of the Australian population.
Along with food and accommodation, professional and scientific services and education and training, the four industries will be responsible for around 64 per cent of all new jobs in the economy, according to the National Skills Commission.
Overall, employment is expected to increase in 17 of the 19 industry groups covered by the Commission’s remit, with only manufacturing, and media and telecommunications, going backwards.
However, there is a bright light even in manufacturing with projected growth in primary metal and metal products manufacturing on the back of COVID-19-based major infrastructure investments and the emergence of a modern manufacturing sector.
The areas of predicted growth suggest risks of skills shortages ahead. While no information is yet available for 2021, Education Department data shows that the number of university places offered for health-related courses between 2016 and 2020 declined slightly from 64,450 to 63,970.
The figures for education fell from 23,720 to 21,660. However, there were small increases in offers for science and IT, with engineering relatively static.
Similar trends can be seen in vocational training enrolments with data from the National Centre for Vocational Education Research showing a 10 per cent decline in enrolments for food, hospitality and personal services between 2016-20 and a small drop in education enrolments over that same period.
However, health-related courses saw a 6.8 per cent increase and science courses grew by nearly 4 per cent.
Andrew Norton, an expert in higher education policy from Australian National University, said there was a strong likelihood of skill shortages given current trends, particularly in education.
“There has been a number of very weak years in terms of enrolments in education and at the same time there is a big demographic bubble working its way through the school system,” Mr Norton said.
“The issue of retiring teachers and graduates not lasting a huge amount of time in the profession means teaching needs to keep refuelling its workforce.”
While there were predictions of the teacher workforce being flooded with graduates in the early part of last decade, the impact of NSW and Victoria imposing more stringent entry requirements into teacher education courses was reducing the number of potential students. The imposition of a national literacy and numeracy test for graduating teachers was also having an impact, he said.
“It’s having an impact on demand across the country because people are terrified of doing three or four years and then finding they can’t pass the test,” Mr Norton said.
And while places for science were gradually improving, he said the most popular areas such as biology would continue to be oversubscribed. Engineering would likely bounce back with a boost in demand for construction engineers, he said.
Adam Boyton, the National Skills Commissioner, said it was clear health care and social assistance jobs were the areas of greatest growth.
“Vocational education and training is a pathway into many jobs in this area,” Mr Boyton said.
Megan Lilly, Head of Education and Training with AiGroup, said higher-level skills take time to develop and any dip in enrolments creates problems in the skill pipeline.
“In addition, every worker will require digital literacy and IT specialisation are in increasing shortage,” she added. “This will only worsen.”

Nearly every state and employer requires a counselor to carry a graduate diploma as a way to practice. A bachelor degree program is step one in gaining a graduate diploma. All graduate packages require a pupil to have earned a bachelor diploma previous to enrollment. Since a specific counseling degree cannot be earned at the bachelor level students can enter a program in psychology, education, sociology, or social work to arrange them for graduate stage coursework.

Eye contact is extraordinarily essential when delivering oral displays. Wanting audience members within the eye displays confidence and authority. Your audience is apt to imagine and take heed to what you might be speaking if there is direct eye contact. Try to make eye contact all through your presentation, and attempt to embody all viewers members or at least all sections. Attempt to not keep focused on one space.
When President Nixon took the U.S. greenback off the gold standard in 1971, our money became foreign money. Gold, which was a set system, now not acted as the measure for wealth. As a substitute, our money or “foreign money,” which beforehand represented the amount of gold on this planet, may now be printed every time the government needed some additional cash. Why do you think America has been caught in a nationwide debt totaling greater than trillions of dollars? It is as a result of none of that money exists. We eradicated the fastened notion from which wealth was established and created foreign money as a variable for the exchange of products and services. That is the explanation we now have been experiencing such drastic rise within the rate of inflation.
Leaving apart institutes began by huge industrial houses, India’s personal universities and colleges are an unruly lot, awarding levels and churning out a large number of engineers and managers who are seen as “unemployable” by trade. They lack expertise, are taught by unqualified teachers, and are unable to search out jobs. | <urn:uuid:a150e4b9-07cc-4124-babb-78fd73ec30fc> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.undiadecolera.com/5-simple-details-about-monthly-college-investigative-education-described.html/ | 2023-09-23T17:09:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.958415 | 733 |
The comments field in Pardot allows multiple submissions to accumulate, which is great if you have customers that have a tendency to keep filling out forms on your site.
The issue with this is that while Pardot helpfully puts a date stamp after each submission, when this field is synched with Salesforce, the comments all run together and become quite unreadable.
However, if you're using form handlers to pass form data to Pardot, there's a way to pass some hidden code to help things look a lot more tidy. Just remember %0A. This is the carriage return code in a URL and it will automatically make your Salesforce Pardot comments look a lot better!
This works great when you are passing a URL string to the Pardot form handler, as you can just insert a %0A wherever you want a line break to occur. So for example if you wanted to make sure your comments field appeared on a new line in the Pardot commends field in salesforce, the url string would look something like:
This creates a line break before and after your comments. It doesn't make any impact in Pardot, but it looks a lot better in Salesforce!
Another trick that you can use with a form handler is to submit to the comments field more than once, and add additional commentary that's outside of your field value, as long as you are encoding any additional characters such as spaces with their unicode equivalents, space=%20 comma=%2C and so forth.
So for example, you could double-submit to the comment field in the form handler additional information from another separate form field to add a second piece of information in the comments field on the same submission:
A great application for this is to allow you to record fields with transient meaning as comments and not have to include them as part of the Pardot custom field set, since the meaning is only relevant to that particular form submission at that moment in time. Examples of this might be "do you want the chicken or fish" or "do you want us to call you back immediately". | <urn:uuid:dfa9b720-0b57-4184-9898-1c78d1fac2bd> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.unfetteredmarketing.com/post/how-do-you-keep-the-comments-field-in-pardot-from-becoming-an-awful-mess | 2023-09-23T16:47:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.947158 | 490 |
There’s a lot of talk nowadays about Millennials and...
Despite all the advantages, the legal sector, perhaps...
On 30 July, Deutsche Bank made headlines by announcing the move of its clearing operations from London to Frankfurt. But the small print showed that this only concerns their new euro-denominated derivatives trades – and no jobs will be going with them. Other ‘moving to Frankfurt’ news (Citigroup, Standard Chartered and Nomura, for example) reveal similar stories: “Most [firms] only talk of establishing legal headquarters there… with minimum staff. That’s not the same as shifting an entire trading room,” says Politico.
In fact, financial firms aren’t abandoning London in the droves that were first anticipated, for Frankfurt or for anywhere else. Reuters claims that London is critical to the global flow of money, which seems to make it difficult to leave. While around 20 banks have committed to leaving London for Frankfurt, that’s a small proportion of the 100 being tracked. Financial think-tank Z/Yen even said: “London has not come close to taking a mortal blow, or anything like it.”
While it’s sure to pick up some Brexit-related investment from finance firms, neither Frankfurt nor any other European city seems poised to displace London just yet. But that’s not to say Frankfurt doesn’t have plenty to offer global businesses. So let’s take a look at the city’s strengths in other industries, before considering cities in the wider region as possible destinations for companies in both finance and other sectors…
Frankfurt’s population is diverse, with around 180 nationalities resident there and one in three people holding a passport other than German. Industry is similarly varied, with Frankfurt home to many major domestic and global businesses. There are almost as many logistics companies as banking and insurance firms, employing about the same number of people. Germany’s biggest workplace is Frankfurt’s airport, the fourth-busiest in Europe and the second-largest multimodal freight airport in Europe. It offers an enviable 4 runways plus CargoCity, extensive freight facilities used by 25 carriers. Other key industries include IT and the creative sector: astonishingly, Frankfurt has 570 advertising and 270 PR agencies. The city is also keen to attract start-ups through a range of financial incentives offered by its economic development agency.
Luxembourg, just a short hop over a Schengen border, is the world's second-richest country after Qatar. It’s the world’s second-largest domicile for investment funds and Europe's largest for assets under management. The tiny duchy offers tax neutrality, a stable legal environment, investor protection, 3.9% GDP growth and almost ubiquitous AAA rating. In a recent EY survey, Luxembourg was named first choice by 41% of the wealth and asset management firms looking to set up European entities. Luxembourg City CBD rents in Q1 2018 were €50 per sqm, up 6.4% in the year, with most 2018/2019 developments already pre-let. With French and German both spoken there, clients moving to Luxembourg can be supported equally by Unispace’s studios in Frankfurt or Brussels.
Zurich, almost due south of Frankfurt, may be a surprising suggestion – it’s no more part of the EU than the UK will be after Brexit. However, it’s an established international financial centre and it has managed to negotiate around 100 agreements with the EU (including the free movement of people, goods and science) plus deals with individual member states. A haven for the super-wealthy (with tax rates ranging from 0.77% to a maximum of 11.5%), Zurich offers the best cost of living in Europe. Vacancy rates are low and commercial rents hover around €58 per sqm. Unispace Zurich will be delighted to offer more information about Zurich as a post-Brexit option, and to create your workspace there.
Berlin may be ideal if financial services aren’t your thing: the city bristles with universities, research institutes and start-ups, with strengths in healthcare, life sciences, IT, media/creative, transport/logistics, and clean energy. Berlin offers more co-working space than anywhere else in Germany – whether for freelancers, start-ups or outsourced departments of established companies; Unispace Berlin has designed and delivered 65,000 sqft across 3 floors for co-working specialists WeWork. Berlin enjoyed a record year for commercial leasing in 2017: take-up was 9% up in 2016, at 937,000 sqm, with an average rental rate of €19.15 per sqm.
London’s demise as Europe’s financial nerve-centre – let alone the world’s – may have been greatly exaggerated. However, with 8 months to go until Brexit, the ‘passporting’ issue has not been resolved, and firms may be forced to set up entities (anything from a registration document to a full workforce) in another EU country. Frankfurt is very much in the running, but is not the only option.
Wherever you choose to be, Unispace is at hand locally to deliver your ideal workspace. With the complete end-to-end service all under one roof, from strategy to design, project management and delivery, Unispace can deliver your beautiful new workspace faster, seamlessly and more cost-effectively.
Coming next – in the final part of our series on post-Brexit decision-making, we’ll offer the benefit of our insight and experience in suggesting some of the key things to think about if you’re expanding, downsizing, extending or moving your workspace because of Brexit. | <urn:uuid:8c3bd07f-4c6d-434d-a9b4-a2c62fdf9b99> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.unispace.com/insights/articles/frankfurt-financial-capital-europe | 2023-09-23T17:37:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.94305 | 1,209 |
Students, faculty and staff can request print-at-home tickets now at Book-in-Common. The public can request tickets beginning Oct. 7. The talk will begin at 6 p.m. in the Multipurpose Room of the Swain Student Activities Center.
“The Other Wes Moore” tells about two young men with the same name who grow up in the same hometown and end up on vastly different life paths. Moore, the author, became a Rhodes Scholar, Army combat veteran and White House Fellow. The other Moore is serving a life sentence in prison.
Moore encourages readers of his book to use it as a call to action to improve the lives of young people and their communities.
At the talk, the Book-in-Common program will announce the first phase in a service initiative related to the book. Service-related information will be available from community and other organizations.
UofL’s Book-in-Common program encourages first-year students to read the same book the summer before they start classes. Throughout their first academic year, the book and its themes are discussed in classes and at other student programs. | <urn:uuid:d246a580-0a21-4d25-acea-7532989f7f1e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.uoflnews.com/post/uofltoday/wes-moore-to-speak-on-campus-oct-18/ | 2023-09-23T17:30:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.942483 | 235 |
LOUISVILLE, Ky.—Maurice Day spent 20 years as a U.S. Army munitions specialist, a job that took him to Iraq, Germany, Hawaii and Turkey. This week, he’ll begin a different career—starting a chain of barbecue restaurants.
Day, 48, is a student in the first class of VetStart, a pilot program developed by the University of Louisville’s College of Business to help military veterans start their own businesses.
Ten veterans will go through the course this year, including five starting Feb. 21 and another five starting in September. Each will undergo 10 weeks of entrepreneurship training through the Kauffman FastTrac program and will be eligible to receive up to $2,500 for business start-up expenses, said Sharon Kerrick, a UofL business school professor who designed the program.
Students then will meet twice a month for a year with mentors at UofL’s business school who will continue to help them develop their businesses.
“We’ll teach them how to do strategic planning, build a support network and acquire other skills essential to starting a successful business,” Kerrick said.
Day now sells Moe-licious BBQ, his signature pulled pork cooked in a tomato and vinegar based sauce, from a food truck in Jeffersontown. His goal is to open a permanent storefront that he can eventually leverage into a statewide restaurant chain.
“I’ve been cooking barbecue for 30 years and I get a lot of positive comments from the people who eat it,” said Day, a Hopkinsville, Ky., native. “I’m ready to make selling it my main job.”
UofL’s business school and president’s office collaborated with the Kentucky Veterans Program Trust Fund to launch VetStart, with the trust fund providing a $50,000 grant for the program.
For more information, contact Kerrick at 502-852-4683 or Renee Finnegan, UofL’s executive director of military initiatives and partnerships at 502-852-2153. | <urn:uuid:39b903c5-d6fc-452d-8776-524a6a04e097> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.uoflnews.com/releases/course-helps-veterans-move-from-battle-to-business/ | 2023-09-23T16:43:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.943801 | 440 |
How An Old-School Way Of Having Sex Is Kinda Making A Comeback For Birth Control
Everyone should decide what's best for them.
There's a new kind — scratch that, a VERY old kind — of birth control in town.
No, it is not "beat the baby-carrying stork with your umbrella."
It's called the Fertility Awareness Method.
How does it work?
Well, the reason Fertility Awareness Methods (FAM) have been regaining popularity in recent years is that they're made quite a bit easier with technology. Lots of apps and websites are available to help you track your cycle. There are a few steps to follow (which vary depending on which specific method you choose), but you pretty much have to know your body really, really well. Like, you and your body have to become the bestest of friends.
You + your uterus = best friends forever.
- STEP 1: Track your cycle and the symptoms of each part of your cycle.
- STEP 2: Figure out when you're likely to be ovulating.
- STEP 3: Don't have (unprotected) sex during that time.
Right, but how reliable is it?
Ah, yes. Reliability. So, WOMP WOMP, Fertility Awareness Methods are quite a bit less reliable than other common forms of birth control. Let's do a little comparison:
Here's the (obvious) kicker: You gotta use what's right for you!
Some folks like Fertility Awareness Methods because they don't involve putting chemicals in your body. Other folks love the pill, or an IUD. At the end of the day, you've gotta decide what's right for you, and you might want to talk to your doctor (and your partner) to help make that decision.

Gold has been in a pretty tidy uptrend since March of 2009, coinciding with the bottom of the stock market after the 2008-2009 crash. For longer termed investors, one cannot ignore this long termed trend – as our top chart shows. Longer termed investors who can tolerate volatility have been rewarded by owning gold. As long as the longer termed trendline remains intact, gold remains a good position to own within a diversified portfolio. However, since its peak price of just over $1900/oz last year, gold has been consolidating within a rectangular pattern. For those who tend to be more active on the markets, there is a potential opportunity that has presented itself within this consolidation pattern.
I’ve marked two levels of support on the shorter termed chart, one at $1600 and the other at $1680. Both support levels have proven to be good entry points. It would appear that the market recently found support at the $1680 level. Stochastics, which is a great indicator for short termed movements, helps refine and confirm the entry and exit timing within gold’s current rectangular pattern. The recent test of $1680 was confirmed as a buying opportunity by the stochastics oscillator. Watch for gold to rally and test $1800. A price that approaches $1800, coinciding with a stochastics sell signal will provide an exit indicator for traders.

Although organizations are investing significant resources into security education and awareness, social engineering attacks remain a pervasive threat. Even the most resilient systems can succumb to targeted social engineering attacks. But why are these attacks still a challenge to mitigate? What occurs during a social engineering attempt, and how can we minimize the risk?
Social engineering relies on different tactics to manipulate people into revealing sensitive information or taking actions detrimental to their interests or those of their organization. These tactics often exploit human emotions and cognitive biases, such as trust, fear, curiosity, and authority, to create a false sense of legitimacy or urgency. Social engineering attacks were easier to detect in the past, but with technological advancements, they have become more sophisticated and targeted. One significant shift in recent years is the rise of third-party breaches, e.g., bad actors compromise a third-party vendor's email system to steal credentials and send convincing emails to the vendor’s customers.
Social engineering is particularly effective because it can hijack the brain, causing people to throw out common sense and defined procedures in favor of acting quickly to address a perceived urgent need. Attackers understand the human psyche and try to leverage our innate desire to help or respond in times of chaos. This can cause people to ignore warning signs and make decisions based on emotional impulses rather than carefully consider the facts.
Our featured speaker highlighted that attackers are continually finding new ways to overcome the improved defensive measures taken by organizations. They emphasized that cybercrime is lucrative, and attackers will stop at nothing to profit. Attackers will continue to adapt and pivot their tactics to remain profitable, just as companies fight to maintain their market share and revenue. Therefore, organizations need to understand that user education and awareness must be an ongoing process rather than a one-time event.
In the current cyber-threat landscape, security cannot solely be the responsibility of the IT team. While they lead the security initiative, involving other stakeholders and promoting a culture of shared responsibility is crucial. Educating corporate leaders about the importance of cybersecurity and empowering them to champion security awareness is essential. Moreover, you must realize that what worked 5-10 years ago may work less effectively today. To enhance your security outlook, you must transition from using traditional security controls to leveraging modern AI-powered solutions and behavioral anomaly detection.
Multiple attendees agreed that striking a balance between security and user experience is critical. Security controls must not impede a person's productivity and instead should be strong but seamless. In addition, it was also noted that the implementation of user-friendly security controls could enhance an organization's security posture. When people find security measures easy to use, they are more likely to comply, reducing the risk of security breaches. Conversely, if a security control causes difficulty completing tasks, people are more likely to circumvent it.
A participant remarked that every organization, regardless of size, industry, or security outlook, is at risk of compromise. They recounted how cybercriminals were able to install a malicious package on their network by hacking their security vendor's system. This story serves as a reminder that even companies specializing in enterprise security are not impervious to cyberattacks. It emphasizes the need for all organizations to be vigilant and proactive in their approach to cybersecurity. | <urn:uuid:5d227c9f-b4c2-43e8-adb6-42fde4a55221> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.vationventures.com/session-summaries/the-challenges-of-socially-engineered-attacks | 2023-09-23T18:37:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.958064 | 725 |

So fun! It was awesome having Ms. Silva's 5th grade class from Piru Elementary inside the courtroom. The students are participating in Project Lead and spent the day learning about different aspects of the courtroom. What do prosecutors do? Where do witnesses testify? Why is there a dog in court? Where does the jury sit? What does a bailiff do? They even got to walk through a mock trial.
Project Lead is a program implemented by the DA's Office for 5th graders across Ventura County. The 20-week course teaches students about the criminal justice system and gives them tools for making good decisions.
It was a great weekend to support an important cause! MADD California hosted the annual #WalkLikeMADD tri-counties event in Ventura. Members of our office including DA Erik Nasarenko spoke to the crowd and walked to make an impact in the fight against drunk and drugged driving.

If you or someone you know is struggling with their mental health, know that you are not alone. There is help and support available. Let's spread awareness this May and end the stigma around mental health.
DA HISTORY: In 1883, the first county offices – including the courthouse – were located on the second floor of Spear’s Saloon, owned by Henry Spear. The building was located in downtown Ventura on the corner of Main and Palm Streets. A hallway and staircase conveniently connected the saloon and county offices, where Mr. Spear served his beer to supervisors, councilmen, judges, and jurors during their frequent breaks from the tiresome work of government.
The saloon won another place in Ventura’s history when, in 1874, it offered the first ice cream served in Ventura as a fundraiser for the Ventura Library Association.
The County of Ventura, in honor of the county’s 150th anniversary, has launched the “VC 150 Memories” website. To access “VC 150 Memories”, please visit: www.venturacounty150.com. Submissions are open to all who would like to participate in the project.
Did you know that 1 in 5 young people report that the pandemic had a significant negative impact on their mental health? Let's raise awareness about mental health and encourage those struggling to seek help. | <urn:uuid:2cc13ed0-575a-4c41-a607-ed25cedc3704> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.vcdistrictattorney.com/instagram-feed/ | 2023-09-23T17:12:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.965587 | 732 |

Do you know the concept of love was invented in the South of France? The word “amour” in the French language was actually taken from “amor” in the Occitan language, which is where the locals dialects Nissart and Provençal come from. The poets in the 12th century, known as the Troubadours, invented the concept we know tdoay as “love” as they wrote about it in their poetry. They were not from France, but from Provence, then separate from France. They called it “fin’amor” and initially it was used a term for a concept. It wasn’t a reality, but someones poetic thought. Love, passion, desire, even to the point of death was a figment of someone’s imagination during a point in time when adultery was far more the idea of love at the time as were marriages which were arranged for political purposes. So not only was tourism invented in the South of France, but love was as well. | <urn:uuid:01ba99d0-8027-4402-ae1d-d31060adc6af> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.vianissa.com/uncategorized/amour-love/ | 2023-09-23T18:14:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.99465 | 220 |

From her grandmother’s garden to California via the Mojave Desert and the cosmos, Emmanuelle Antille takes us on a journey to out-of-the-ordinary places, as we meet the people who created, imagined or discovered them. The Wonder Way is a free and personal quest, an inner exploration and a journey in search of unusual—but very real—spaces.
By quoting Michel Foucault at the opening of The Wonder Way, Emmanuelle Antille clearly defines the path she intends to pursue in order to explore the existence of imaginary territories. “There are countries without places, and histories without chronology; cities, planets and continents whose traces cannot be found on any map, nor in any sky. Of course, there is also the bottom of the garden....”. She then follows the philosopher’s guidance to encounter people who create unusual places: from her grandmother's garden kingdom to an orchard-jungle belonging to a collector of apple varieties, via Noah Purifoy’s bric-a-brac museum in the middle of the Californian desert and the refined cartographic works of Anne-Marie Jugnet and Alain Clairet. She listens to them talk about how they push back the limits of their living spaces, and, in turn, captures lights and shadows throughout her travels, using these images and sounds to piece together a new space for these utopias. The Wonder Way considers the creative process as a place of resistance, a tangible and very real counter-space to our present world. | <urn:uuid:c96192bc-7350-4e61-b732-7a1a57e39a45> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.visionsdureel.ch/en/film/2023/the-wonder-way/ | 2023-09-23T18:35:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.889382 | 354 |
Shop Local in Flagstaff
Home to ski resorts, hiking trails and Arizona’s tallest mountain, Flagstaff easily earns its renown as a haven for outdoors enthusiasts. And its historic and walkable downtown is a favorite among shoppers on the hunt for independent boutiques, art galleries and gear shops.
Babbitt’s Backcountry Outfitters
This family-owned store traces its roots back to the late 1800s when one of the five Babbitt brothers transformed his lumberyard into a general store. That same building is what houses the outdoor gear shop of today. Here you’ll find everything you need to buy (or rent) gear for hiking, camping, rock climbing, skiing and more. The staff are outdoors experts themselves and they offer classes on outdoor survival and how to select the perfect pair of hiking boots.
12 E. Aspen Avenue.
Bright Side Bookshop
There’s no better travel companion than a good book, and this independent book shop is the ideal place to find your next read. The curated selection spans genres, from mystery to memoir, and includes bestsellers, staff picks and a robust offering for young readers. They also carry stationery, including cards featuring the work of local artists. Check the calendar to see if there’s an author signing, reading or kid’s storytime during your visit.

Mountain Sports Flagstaff
Born from a love of the outdoors, this family business has grown into a gathering place for the Flagstaff community.

They also carry a selection of gifts and souvenirs.
24 N. San Francisco St.
Sage Brush Trading Co.
This women’s boutique offers a little bit of everything, all with a distinctly Flagstaff, mountain-chic touch. Clothing, including denim, dresses and blouses, is on-trend yet classic enough to carry you through several seasons and can be paired with fashionable hats, small leather goods and locally made jewelry. This is also a great spot at which to find souvenirs and gifts; think funky socks and cute housewares.
120 N. Leroux St.
Sweet Shoppe Candy Store
Modeled after an old-fashioned candy store, Sweet Shoppe has everything you need to satisfy your sweet tooth. Homemade fudge comes in classic and creative flavors, including dark chocolate caramel sea salt (their bestseller); caramel apples are given a gourmet twist (try the cheesecake version); and chocolate truffles and barks make great gifts. In summer you’ll find a variety of Italian gelato.
15 E. Aspen Drive
Winter Sun Trading Company
Run by Phyllis Hogan and her two daughters, this shop celebrates American Indian art and indigenous botanicals. The gallery showcases jewelry, baskets, paintings and carvings from members of local tribes, including tapered dolls from Ferris Satala Spike; natural turquoise jewelry from Ray Lovato; weaved Hopi baskets from Renae Roy; and multimedia art from Jonah Hill.

We thank Whitney Jensen for taking the photos used in this blog.
Located in a state with plenty of farmland and cattle ranches, it’s no surprise that Wichitans take their burgers seriously. One of the best ways to try a variety of burgers in Wichita? Attend the 2023 ICT Burger Battle. Now in its 11th year, this indulgent culinary event will take place from 5 to 9 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 5 at the Capitol Federal Amphitheater in Andover Central Park, located just east of Wichita.
The family-friendly event in the Heart of the Country is a great way to sample the variety of burgers served in the Wichita area. Consistently drawing hundreds of attendees, organizers expect another well-attended event, so we’ve assembled some tips for attending this year’s Burger Battle.
1. You get to be the judge.
Restaurants from all over the Wichita area will come together to battle it out for the people’s choice champion title. That’s where your taste buds come in. Not only do you get to sample all the mouth-watering burgers, but you help decide who makes the best burger in Wichita. Some of this year’s participants include Fizz Burgers & Bottles, Jumbo’s Beef & Brew, Red Robin and Southeast Carryout – the second-place finisher in 2022’s battle. Contenders are still being added so stay tuned for even more restaurants to compete.
2. There will be live music.
Nashville Recording Artist Brock Wagoner will provide live music from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. From Colby, Kan., he was runner-up of the National Finalists for Season 35 of the Country Showdown. There were roughly 50,000 entries for season 35 and Brock ended up in the top two. Brock has shared the stage with big acts including Phil Vassar, Shenandoah, Ricochet, Logan Mize and many others. Other activities include the LampHouse Lampy Camper photo booth, yard games from Bluestem Rentals and more.
3. Don't miss the car show.
You’ll get through the lines much faster if you bring cash (there’s an ATM on-site). Here’s how it works: once you’ve paid to get into the amphitheater area, you can visit any of the vendors. There also will be options to buy water, soft drinks and iced coffee, and for those 21 & older beer, margaritas and sangria.
4. It's for a good cause.
Proceeds will benefit KETCH and individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Funds raised support KETCH's work, day and residential programs. You can make a donation even if you aren’t attending the event.
5. Bring an appetite ... and some cash.
Participating restaurants are able to sell food and drink items, so bring cash if you are wanting to sample more than burgers. Other snacks and beverages will be available for attendees to purchase, and there will be a raffle for a variety of items, such as a Walton’s BBQ basket and gift cards to participating restaurants. It’s also recommended to bring a lawn chair for additional seating.
Tickets are $30 per person. Ages 6 and under are free. If you are planning to attend with a group of friends, take advantage of the event’s deal – buy three tickets and get the fourth for free.
Don't miss out on this unique experience in the Heart of the Country.

Clipclaps is a digital content sharing platform and one of the legit paying platforms that rewards users in dollars via PayPal and Prepaid refilling.
Users on this platform are paid for completing simple tasks such as watching funny videos, uploading funny contents and playing games.
Check out my honest review about clipclaps by clicking the link below.
When it comes to playing of games, clipclaps provides a wide range of games users can play to increase their earnings such as Aquarium, Battle Blocks, Coincat and many more.
In today’s tutorial, we are going to talk about Aquarium which is one of the most played games on ClipClaps.
All you have to do is buy fishes and feed them to earn more clap coins.
You can also earn more dollars if you have a Goldfish.
The more you feed your fishes, the more valuable they become throughout their growth cycle.
It’s as easy as it sounds.
Since my last article on ClipClaps Review, one of the most frequent questions I received was how to transform all fishes in Aquarium to Sun Fish.
That is why I decided to write a full article on ClipClaps Aquarium, to help you with quick tips to getting a sun fish.
Why Sun Fish?
Sun Fish is obviously the last type of fish in the Growth cycle on Aquarium.
The more sun fishes you have, the more clap coins you earn on ClipClaps.
Anyway most fishes are not able to evolve into Sun Fish and size up immediately they reach level 9.
Whiles most users complain their fishes size up once they evolve into Piranha or Eel fish, Others see little progress in their fishes growth cycle because they do not have red tail catfish.
Getting Sunfish in your aquarium is very easy but needs dedication.
The first step to ensure your fishes evolve into Sun fish is to own a Red tail Catfish.
Red tail Catfish evolves into many fishes in its growth cycle such as Lantern fish, Eel fish, Piranha and Sunfish accordingly.
According to Clipclaps, fish fingerlings evolve into new types of fish depending on how frequently you feed them.
For your fishes to evolve into Sun Fish, you have to frequently feed them.
Note: Any fish that sizes up or reaches level 10 without turning into Sunfish must be sold, to make room for new fishes with high probability of transforming into Sunfish.
How To Feed My Fishes?
Like I said earlier on, you have to feed your fishes frequently.
To know the accurate time to feed your fishes, press on the largest fish in your aquarium to check how many minutes left until feeding.
The reason I suggest you press on the largest fish in your aquarium is that, they spend a lot of time than the others to become feedable.
When you feed the largest fish when it becomes feedable, you also feed the smaller fishes which take lesser time to become feedable too.
One approach I take that has proven effective, is to feed your fishes in a two hours interval.
Treat your in game fishes like real fishes in your pond.
The more constantly you check up on them, the better they become.
I hope you find my post insightful and well-equipped into transforming your fishes into Sun Fishes on Clipclaps.

The cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase is making its long-awaited play to help institutional giants more comfortable using its platform to invest in digital money.
Coinbase is launching Coinbase Custody to help big institutions like sovereign wealth funds, pension plans or asset managers store digital assets, known as a custody service.
The move helps Coinbase build out a new source of revenue, but it also marks an important shift among crypto entrepreneurs to win over Wall Street — not just disrupt it. That means serving large, institutional investors with services they’re used to getting, such as custody.
“The institutional side has not been well served, and that’s for a reason,” said Adam White, a Coinbase vice president who is leading the new efforts. The surge of interest in crypto was led by retail investors, not major financial institutions.
“A bunch of institutions looked up and said, ‘We can’t ignore this anymore. We don’t understand it, but we’re going to have to.’”
Custody has been a concern for major traders, White acknowledged, who didn’t have anyone externally to secure their assets. Even though cryptocurrencies are virtual, crypto holdings still require safe storage. It’s a common service feature for other financial instruments, and custodians sometimes can execute trades on behalf of the client.
Coinbase in the next few weeks will roll out its custodianship services to a few prominent cryptocurrency firms, like Boost VC and Scalar Capital. Some institutions have already been using Coinbase to execute trades — the company says it has stored more than $20 billion in crypto assets — but these major financial players tend to be pretty conservative.
The success of Coinbase so far has largely been due to individuals who are passionate about cryptocurrencies specifically, and not on the backs of big, lumbering institutions that invest professionally in things across different asset classes.
And the finance industry has been chilly to cryptocurrency enthusiasts — some of whom envision an overthrow of the current financial system. But Wall Street is increasingly catering to them: Major investment banks are starting to trade in bitcoin-related deals, and the largest exchanges now allow customers to buy and sell bitcoin futures.
The company is also launching what they call Coinbase Prime, a high-end suite of services that will give additional information to a client like a sovereign wealth fund that one individual trader wouldn’t need when deciding whether to buy or sell. Coinbase is also staffing up a team internally to service these big spenders.

Microsoft Detects 5 Billion Cybersecurity Threats a Month
Bernard Hastings | Last Updated:
As Microsoft tightens security across their myriad of platforms, the company has announced that each month their corporate security product, Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection, has begun to detect a staggering 5 billion security threats every single month.
Although these threat detections are fantastic news for Australian and global corporate clients of Microsoft, there’s not too much changing for everyday users.
Microsoft’s Threat Protection products are said to only be offered ‘in subscription bundles to top-tier enterprise customers,’ rather than an all-inclusive suite of services for everyone in the Microsoft eco-system.
The Threats Microsoft Blocks for Corporate Clients
Microsoft has made it clear that their Threat Protection service makes trillions of scans each day within products such as OneDrive, Xbox Live, Bing, Windows and Outlook, in search of potential threats such as malware, business compromise attempts, phishing campaigns and a whole lot more.
Last year alone, businesses across the US were reported to have lost over $1.3 billion to business compromise attempts, which highlights just how malicious these cyber threats can be. This number has grown ten-fold since 2016, making a case for much stronger corporate and individual cybersecurity solutions.
The ATP service highlighted 14 million malicious sign-in attempts across the Microsoft product suite, as well as 72 million miscellaneous vulnerabilities.
Microsoft also made of note of pinpointing and blocking over 5 billion phishing emails, accompanying links and websites that work to steal information, install spyware and trackers on devices.
What If You’re Not a Corporate Client
We applaud Microsoft for making such bold moves to protect the privacy of businesses and large corporations across the globe, however, if you’re an everyday web user in Australia or someone who holds personal Microsoft accounts, you’re ultimately being left out.
At VPNCompass, we urge anyone not utilising a business account with Microsoft, Google or any other big tech company to make use of a VPN to protect their privacy.
You can find more information on VPNs outlined by the Australian Cyber Security Centre.
A variety of VPNs now offer entirely free and paid security features that, although not as powerful as Microsoft’s enterprise solutions, are still incredibly useful when it comes to staying safe online, such as the NordVPN CyberSec feature. If you’re already using NordVPN to encrypt your online data and mask your IP address, you might want to consider switching on the CyberSec feature as it’s included in your subscription.
How does CyberSec work ?
To understand how the NordVPN CyberSec functionality works, consider the following diagram:
For instances where you do not have NordVPN/CyberSec installed, this is what happens: when you click on a link to access a website, your request is sent to a DNS server (owned and operated by your ISP – such as Telstra, TPG, Dodo etc.) who then in turn directs you to the website you requested. This leaves you vulnerable that the website you are trying to access may be phishing website or some other hacker trying to steal your data, credit card details, or other personal information stored on your computer.
With your NordVPN installed and CyberSec enabled, its a slightly different process. When you click on a link to go to a website, you are instead directed to the NordVPN DNS server. The NordVPN DNS server has an extensive list of websites that are known to be hackers, have spyware, or do other malicious activities. If the website you are trying to access is on that list, you will immediately be presented with a warning message. From there you will have the opportunity to accept the warning message and NOT access that website, or alternatively, you can dismiss the warning and access the website anyway. The NordVPN CyberSec gives you the information you need, and gives you the power to make a final decision as to access the website or not.
The CyberSec feature bundled in NordVPN’s subscription is a separate feature from the VPN service, which makes browsing the web a little less cumbersome and ad-ridden. You’ll need to switch on CyberSec inside of NordVPN manually though, and once you do, you’ll add a suite of extra features to the encryption and security of the VPN.
CyberSec from NordVPN includes features such as:
- Botnet Blocking – to prevent device hijacking
- Dangerous Website Blocking
- Ad Blocking
- Spyware Blocking
It’s easiest to think of CyberSec as an opt-in feature that improves your entire experience on the web. You’re not going to be bothered by annoying ad pop-ups, and you also won’t find yourself accidentally stumbling into one of the lethal links in the five billion phishing emails found by Microsoft’s ATP feature.
The cybersecurity perks listed above show us that, although Microsoft’s corporate cybersecurity products do not wholly protect you as an individual user, you’re still adequately protected by CyberSec from a majority of the threats found by Microsoft.
Security on a VPN Without CyberSec
When browsing through NordVPN without the CyberSec feature enabled, you’ll still be provided with a myriad of online privacy and security features. These include:
- Encrypted Web Traffic
- DNS Leak Protection
- IP Address Protection
- Log-free Browsing
- And More
With access to all of the security products listed above, you can feel free to browse the web and make full use of your high-speed NBN connection without the fear of being watched, throttled, hacked or having your data stolen.
As cybersecurity issues continue to increase across the globe, especially here in Australia, it’s important that you keep your devices and your online movements protected. We suggest heading over to the NordVPN website for some more information on how to keep yourself and your devices protected online. | <urn:uuid:d0cb40cb-8aed-4b80-9adb-bb84e6b96d96> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.vpncompass.com/microsoft-detects-5-billion-cybersecurity-threats-a-month/ | 2023-09-23T18:16:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.921879 | 1,245 |

Whether you are looking to tackle easy hikes in Acadia National Park or looking to conquer the hardest hiking trails in Acadia, one thing is for sure, there are plenty of amazing views and hikes in Acadia National Park to choose from. Ranging in length and difficulty, the below list of Acadia hiking trails will take you on some of the best hikes in Acadia. So what are you waiting for? Lace up those boots and get your water bottles filled, you have some hiking to get to!
Best Hikes In Acadia National Park
Pin & Save For Later!
1. Great Head Trail
Located just off of Sand Beach in Acadia National Park, you’ll find the trailhead to the Great Head Trail. Perfect for families and dogs, this trail winds through trees and along the coastline of Acadia National Park. You’ll see expectational views of Sand Beach and The Beehive along with vast views of the Atlantic Ocean and Acadia’s rugged coastline.
The trail itself is very rugged and rocky, but mostly flat making it one of the easier hikes within Acadia National Park.
Stats: Length: 1.9 mi | Difficulty: Easy to Moderate | Elevation Gain: 301 ft.
2. Ocean Path Trail
A fantastic walking trail if you are looking to see some of the best things Acadia has to offer. Starting at Sand Beach, you can walk to popular sights like Thunder Hole, Monument Cove, Boulder Beach, and Otter Cliff Point. The trail is one way, so just remember, however far you walk there, you’ll have to walk that same distance back.
The trail itself is packed gravel and nestled in between Acadia’s Park Loop Road and the coastline. While this is listed as a hike, it’s definitely more of a walking path. So if you are looking for something easy, this is for you. Think of this trail as a great leisurely connector for those not wanting to drive to popular park sights along the Park Loop Road.
Stats: Length: 4.4 miles | Difficulty: Easy | Elevation Gain: 374 ft.
3. The Beehive Loop Trail
One of the most popular and thrilling hikes in Acadia National Park is the Beehive Trail. Offering a series of iron rungs you have to use to climb along the side of the Beehive to get up to the top. As you climb and hike up, you’ll be rewarded with amazing views of Acadia’s hilly mountains and coastlines below.
Since this hike is so popular, it is highly advised to arrive early to avoid any traffic jams on your way up to the top. To get to the trail, you’ll walk through forests until it’s time to start your rocky ascent up along the cliff side of The Beehive. The trail itself is relatively short in length, but if you come during mid-day, expect lines to get up to the summit.
Stats: Length: 1.5 miles | Difficulty: Hard | Elevation Gain: 508 ft.
TIP: This trail is not dog friendly nor should anyone who is deathly afraid of heights attempt this trail. Also, please avoid in bad weather as this trail would not be safe.
4. North Bubble & South Bubble Trail
If you’re wanting to see Jordan Pond from above, hike to The Bubbles. The Bubbles are two of the more iconic features of Acadia National Park. The Bubbles are two mountains that sit side by side and can be seen from Jordan Pond. Once you are on either Bubble (North or South), you’ll have great views of Jordan Pond below and on a clear day, the Maine islands out in the sea.
So what’s the difference between the two? In our opinion, North Bubble offers better views while South Bubble is known for a balancing boulder that sits just along a ledge. Both trails can be done in one day. Just start from the Bubble Divide Parking lot and begin hiking. You’ll come to a fork where there will be clear signs for “North Bubble This Way” and “South Bubble This Way.”
Once you complete one, backtrack down to the fork and go on the other trail to see the other Bubble.
Stats: North Bubble Length: 0.9 miles | Difficulty: Moderate | Elevation Gain: 374 ft.
Stats: South Bubble Length: 1.4 miles | Difficulty: Moderate | Elevation Gain: 492 ft.
5. Cadillac Mountain Summit Loop
One of the most popular things to do in Acadia National Park is to watch the sunrise from Cadillac Mountain. To get to the Cadillac Mountain Summit, you have two options 1) Hike or 2) Drive.
DRIVING: If you drive up to the summit of Cadillac Mountain, a PERMIT IS REQUIRED from May 26th through October 19th. Vehicles without a permit may not access Cadillac Mountain. You can make your permit reservation for $6 per vehicle online.
For those hikers, you have three trails to pick from to get you to the summit of Cadillac Mountain.
- North Ridge Trail (4.4 miles RT)
- West Face Trail (3.1 miles RT)
- South Ridge Trail (7 miles RT)
Of the three, the North Ridge trail is the easiest hike up to Cadillac Mountain. Once at the top, you’ll be at the tallest point in all of Acadia National Park with panoramic views of the park, Bar Harbor, and the surrounding sea and islands.
It’s here, at the top of Cadillac Mountain, where you’ll find Cadillac Mountain’s Summit Loop. The Summit Loop is great for all ages. It’s paved and allows you to get out onto rocks where you can take a seat and take in the expansive surrounding views.
Stats: Length: 0.5 miles | Difficulty: Easy | Elevation Gain: 52 ft.
6. Jordan Pond Trail
Flat and easy, that is what Jordan Pond Trail is. The trail loops around Jordan Pond where you’ll have great views of the Bubbles and the pond’s waters. You’ll circumnavigate the pond where you’ll pass along tree lines and the banks of Jordan Pond. After your hike, plan to stop by Jordan Pond house where you can rest your feet and sip tea, and eat popovers.
Stats: Length: 3.1 miles | Difficulty: Easy | Elevation Gain: 42 ft.
Iron Rungs and Ladder Trails in Acadia National Park
As mentioned above, The Beehive Trails requires hikers to use a series of iron rungs to get themselves to the top. Like the Beehive, there are a series of other Acadia hiking trails that have iron rungs, ladders, and rails for hikers to “jungle gym” their way to the trail finish line. Below is a list of the other iron rung and ladder trail hikes in Acadia.
- The Precipice Trail
- Jordan Cliffs Trail
- Beech Cliff Trail
- Dorr Mountain Trail

Planning Tips For Hiking In Acadia National Park
Best Time To Hike In Acadia (Season & Time)
Without a doubt, getting an early start for any hike is always our recommendation, especially if you are wanting to avoid the crowds and get the soft morning light for photos. In terms of the best hiking season, our vote is fall (October). Not only is the weather more forgiving (not scorching hot), you see the amazing fall foliage of the autumn leaves turning.
However, that’s not to say other months are not fantastic to hit the trails, we’re just in favor of fall-time weather and colors.
Check out our top 10 things to do in Acadia National Park!
What To Have & Pack When Hiking in Acadia
- Good Footwear: Meaning a good pair of boots, sneakers and of course socks. There are loads of walking and exploring to be done, so let’s be sure to keep your feet dry and comfortable.
- Layers: The temps can change just as quickly as the wind can pick up, so be sure to have layers with you! Ideally, a windbreaker or rain jacket and a fleece for backup, especially if visiting during cooler months.
- Day Bag: A comfortable day bay is a must. Whether you are using it to carry your snacks and water for hiking or your Go Pro and Camera gear for pictures, a comfortable and durable day pack is a great sidekick to your time in Acadia.
- Water Bottle: You’ll be in nature so please avoid using single-use plastics. Do right by Mother Earth and pack and use a reusable water bottle.
- Sunscreen: Even on cloudy days, you’ll want to layer up on sunscreen. We don’t want you to get sunburned during all your outdoor fun.
- Snacks: Snacks are always a must for us. We never want to stop exploring because we are starving and need to get something to eat. Plan to pack some granola bars, fruit, trail mix, or whatever you fancy and have it with you in your day pack or car. As a reminder, the only place to eat in the park is Jordan Pond House and it’s just popovers.
- First Aid Kit: Getting blisters on your tootsies is a day ruiner when hiking. Come prepared with some first aid essentials to take care of any blisters, cuts, or scraps you may get along the way.
- Misc. Items: We always carry miscellaneous items like Chapstick, sunglasses, and tissue paper with us when hiking.
How Long Are Hikes in Acadia National Park?
One of the nicest things about the hiking trails in Acadia is their length. The majority of the hikes fall on the relatively shorter side averaging from 2 to 5 miles round trip.

Precipice Trail is considered the hardest hike in Acadia National Park, and also one of the most dangerous.
Taking anywhere from 1.5 – 3 hours (depending on your speed and fitness level), this 2.5-mile hike is challenging. In less than a mile, you’ll ascend nearly 1,000 feet to conquer steep grades and metal rungs, rails, and ladders. If you are looking for a challenge, Precipice Trail is your hike.

The leaves had just started to make subtle shifts from green to yellow as my husband and I walked along a well-maintained path beside Oirase Stream in northern Japan. It’s one of the most beautiful hikes in the country – especially in the autumn. We had thought about taking a tour bus through the area, but then decided to rent a car and go on our own. As we walked along at our own pace towards Lake Towada, I was happy with our choice. There are affiliate links in this post.

Oliver is back on his bike
Last summer Oliver started riding his bike longer distances than he was used to so he could try and raise money for the NHS. He managed to make over £2,000 which was amazing.
"Last summer I started riding my bike longer distances than I was used to so I could try and raise money for the NHS. I managed to make over £2,000 which I was proud of. When my Grandad told me that his village was trying to raise funds to refurbish Snitterfield Village Hall, especially the disabled toilets, I decided it was time to get back on two wheels and ride longer distances than I ever have done to see if I could raise some money to help out.
I set myself a goal of riding 45 miles in two weeks. When I decided to do this, I hadn’t thought about the weather. There’s been rain, sleet, wind, occasional snow and freezing temperatures. This has made pedalling really hard, but I’ve enjoyed seeing Warwick and Leamington on a bike rather than from a car window. I also managed to visit our school on my travels!
Today I managed to complete my challenge and I am pleased to say I have raised enough money to refurbish the disabled toilets. What this has taught me is when you set yourself a challenge, be determined to complete it. Some days I could have easily stayed in bed!" | <urn:uuid:4f2b0ff3-cac8-436e-86fb-e149263c2122> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.warwickschool.org/news/?pid=9&nid=2&storyid=2924 | 2023-09-23T18:42:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.988434 | 298 |
Re-Visiting 'Iron Man 3' w/ Hops Geek News
Can a movie be fun but not-that-memorable at the same time? Jake + Mitch are joined by special guests Matt & Lauren from the Hops Geek News Podcast to re-visit the MCU Christmas flick, 'Iron Man 3'. Because the best way to close out Iron Man month is to break down a flawed movie with friends. Along the way, the crew tackles a few big topics: - Is Gwyneth Paltrow miscast? - Was The Mandarin MacGuffin necessary?
- Did Tony really need to blow up all those extra suits? Out of all the titles in the Marvel cinematic universe, no one can argue that 'Iron Man 3' is certainly one of them. At the end of the day, that may be the title's enduring legacy and that's... totally fine. Right?

Simply Effective CBT Supervision (Hardback)Michael J. Scott (author)
CBT is the most widely endorsed Evidence Based Treatment (EBT) for psychological disorders. This innovative volume exclusively addresses CBT Supervision, which plays a vital role in the translation of CBT from an EBT to routine practise.
Supervision requires a combination of knowledge and skill - the knowledge of the appropriate CBT protocol for the situation and the skill to equip the practitioner with the competencies to deliver these protocols in the context in which they are operating. In Simply Effective CBT Supervision, Michael J. Scott provides a unique guide to the particular skills necessary to monitor the fidelity and competence with which an EBT is implemented. There is an emphasis throughout on the importance of experiential learning, with detailed transcripts of supervisor-supervisee conversations, a focus on group supervision and the management of group processes. The power differential between supervisor and supervisee is acknowledged and addressed with guidelines and safeguards that will ensure that client needs can be addressed in a spirit of collaborative empiricism, and the text also covers the importance of matching the supervisor and supervisee. The book also incorporates downloadable worksheets for supervisor and supervisee.
Covering the skills necessary to be an effective CBT supervisor, this is the ideal book for current and prospective CBT supervisors looking to extend their knowledge base.

'In this comprehensive book, Dr Michael Scott highlights the art and science of CBT supervision. He has left no proverbial stone unturned. This book illustrates how knowledge of RCTs can be used to inform the supervisory conversation and thereby enabling the supervisee to reflect upon and use the most suitable CBT protocols for the client's presenting problems. Dr Michael Scott has written a tour de force on CBT supervision.' - Professor Stephen Palmer PhD, Centre for Stress Management, London, UK

Trader Joe's is not like most regular grocery stores. In addition to their affordable produce and wide array of health-food options, they also carry their own line of unique products like their "Everything But The Bagel Seasoning" and their infamous Cookie Butter that you just can't find anywhere else. And let's not forget their Two Buck Chuck, which is basically the cheapest wine you can buy! Their stores definitely stand out when it comes to the grocery shopping experience, but as it turns out, there's much more than meets the eye. To help you make the most of your time in the store, here are nine secrets about Trader Joe's you probably didn't know.
1. You Can Win Prizes
Free goods from Trader Joe's? Count us in. Customers have the chance to win prizes through various contests that they post on their site, many of which including coming up with clever recipes. If you use a reusable bag when shopping at some locations, you are also eligible to enter a raffle for a chance to win a $25 gift card.
2. You Can Sample Whatever You Want
Trader Joe's offers different samples every day, but if there's a particular product you want to taste, you can just ask an employee, and they'll open it for you. This applies for everything except alcohol and anything that is raw or frozen.
3. You Can Return Whatever You Want
If you've already opened that bag of kale chips and realized it's not for you, you don't have to worry about having wasted your money—Trader Joe's will take the product back, no questions asked. Sounds like a great deal, especially if you're taking a chance on something offbeat like their "Popcorn In A Pickle."
4. There's Meaning Behind That Bell Ringing
Ever notice there's no PA system with a voice overhead shouting "Clean up on aisle 3?" That's because employees use a bell system to communicate with one another. According to the Trader Joe's website, "Two bells mean there are additional questions that need to be answered at the checkout. Three bells call over a manager-type person."
5. Every Store Has A Plastic Lobster Hidden
Don't be alarmed when you find a plastic lobster hidden between fruit shelves. Every store has a plastic lobster hidden somewhere on display. Encouraging your kids to keep an eye out for the creature can be a great way to distract them while you go shopping.
6. Each Store Has Its Own Local Artists
The display chalkboards at Trader Joe's are always beautifully done, and this is no coincidence. Each store has a local artist on staff, which is why their displays so accurately reflect the vibe of that location.
7. All Of Their Own Products Are Non-GMO
If you're buying a Trader Joe's label product, you can rest assured that none of the ingredients are genetically modified. Although they can't guarantee that other branded products don't contain GMO ingredients, for their own products, they require suppliers to provide documentation that their ingredients are from non-GMO sources. They also go a step further and conduct their own random audits of items using an outside, third-party lab.
8. The Difference Between Employees' Shirts Means Something
You may have noticed that some employees wear Hawaiian shirts, while other wear t-shirts with hibiscus flowers on the back. No, one employee isn't lazier than the other. Instead, the employees with the button-down Hawaiian print shirts are the store leaders, while the ones wearing just the t-shirt are regular employees. Despite these differences, you can ask any of these people for help, and they will be equally well-equipped to find a product for you.
9. They Donate Their Food Waste
Despite how awesome their food is, not all of their products get sold, and instead of just tossing them, Trader Joe's donates 100 percent of its salvageable food waste to community homeless shelters and food banks. Now that's a company we can get behind! | <urn:uuid:91b87e52-f354-4865-9d01-bda5ece5202e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.wcpo.com/money/consumer/dont-waste-your-money/secrets-trader-joes-probably-didnt-know | 2023-09-23T17:25:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.958173 | 827 |

Spirits were high when the Fairchild F-227 took off from Mendoza, Argentina, and headed for Santiago, Chile. On board were forty-five people, including an amateur rugby team from Uruguay and their friends and family. The skies were clear that Friday, October 13, 1972, and at 3:30 p.m., the Fairchild’s pilot reported their altitude at 15,000 feet. But one minute later, the Santiago control tower lost all contact with the aircraft. For eight days, Chileans, Uruguayans, and Argentinians searched for it, but snowfall in the Andes had been heavy, and the odds of locating any wreckage were slim.
Ten weeks later, a Chilean peasant in a remote valley noticed two haggard men desperately gesticulating to him from across a river.

What do you like about working at Webnetism?
I love the shared team passion in programming, It’s great to be in a work environment where everyone is just as passionate as you are about technology, I love the lit up faces I see when a new piece of tech or update is announced, and I love the deep discussions we get into about our ideas, there’s never conflict, it’s always an open marketplace of ideas and concepts.
What’s your background?
In my previous roles, I worked on a variety of military systems, GIS systems, and content threat removal systems.
What do you like most about your job?
I like the intellectually stimulating nature of programming, I find that working in this industry, I always find myself constantly learning new things. Even when I feel like I’ve learned everything I can, there’s always more to learn. Programming is like a puzzle, every day I come into work and solve puzzles, they can take either a few minutes or a few days to solve, sometimes they even require more than 1 person! But every day is a new puzzle that I’ve been challenged to solve.
I also find that this, sparks a lot of interesting discussions with my work colleagues, we always find ourselves getting into heated debates about programming styles and paradigms, I greatly value the experience and knowledge of my colleagues.
What are your hopes for our industry?
I am very excited for the future of modern web frameworks like NgRx, I am also very excited for the future of cloud development using platforms such as Azure and AWS.
What is the most important thing you have learned in the last five years?
Schools, colleges and universities only scratches the surface of the knowledge that’s available in life. Don’t ever solely rely on learning institutions and courses, get into the habit of self-teaching and personal research. Learning has no limits. | <urn:uuid:47a334cf-d05b-45cf-94f1-90e213719c8e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.webnetism.com/blog/meet-our-new-recruit | 2023-09-23T18:36:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.955495 | 504 |

New Hanover County liquor sales were up in 2020, but most imbibed at home
NEW HANOVER COUNTY, N.C. (WECT) - In early April, the New Hanover County ABC board voted to allow liquor-by-the-drink customers return a portion of their unopened products, as the state reeled from shutdowns related to the coronavirus pandemic.
But despite that move and other pandemic-related actions such as reducing store hours and drastically limiting the number of customers in each store, the county’s for-profit alcohol distribution system outperformed its 2019 sales.
“COVID has brought a unique operating venue for us,” said General Manager Charles Hill, “because there’s no telltale book on what’s the right way, what’s the wrong way to do this. And, you know, we...like most retailers, we’ve been playing it by ear.”
WECT looked at daily sales records for January through November for both 2019 and 2020. At the end of November, 2020 sales were ahead by $3,332,494.16, or more than 7%.
But nearly all of that growth took place inside ABC retail stores—the agency’s liquor-by-the-drink sales were down over the same period by $426,214.23, or nearly 24%.
“What we’ve seen, the restaurant and bar industry has taken a great hit with COVID, our mixed beverage sales are down, our retail stores are picking up some of the lost revenues,” Hill said, “because people are, you know, they’re staying home. They’re, you know, they’re partaking in there.”
He says that makes sense—where people may have ordered a drink or two with dinner when dining out every month, they are mixing their own cocktails at home.
He says it hasn’t been an even exchange every month, but that is generally the trend.
“So we’ve seen a flip-flop, and that’s pretty much been the case every month, since this COVID pandemic hit us,” he said.
There was also a notable increase in sales right at the “start” of the pandemic in mid-March, when the first cases hit New Hanover County.
That month saw $4,825,686 in sales across the county system, a figure typically only seen in the summer months, and a nearly 27% increase over March 2019.
The pandemic appears to have had an effect on the ABC system’s most popular days, including Independence Day weekend: Sales were down $79,482 during the July 4th spike.
But Thanksgiving week, which is one of the highest grossing time periods, was almost exactly the same, with 2019 seeing just $36.76 more in sales than 2020.
Hill, who has been with the New Hanover County ABC system for more than two decades, says he’s heard from customers that they are still celebrating—just at home.
“That’s been the big thing here this year, people are learning to they are adapting and learning to celebrate holidays at home, you know, with their families,” he said. “And that’s what everybody’s had to do this year is adapt.”
The ABC stores in the county have adapted too. They’ve put up plexiglass, continued to limit the number of people inside...even below state mandates, and Hill says they are hoping to see continued use of their senior and high-risk customer store at 6009 Market Street.
“It has been a big success. I’ve talked with some of the customers that come in, they feel less stressed when they come in,” Hill said.
Going into 2021, he says they will continue to adapt as consumer needs and preferences change and potentially go back to pre-pandemic patterns once the vaccine is widely available.
“Our hearts go out to the bars and restaurants because they’ve taken a huge hit. And you know, with New Hanover County being a tourist town and being known for all its great restaurants and bars and stuff like that, it’s...we just hate to see it, you know, what they’re going through and and hopefully they can recover next year and everything to get back to normal.”

Are Male Cops Asked THAT Question?
I get asked lots of questions like: “A real cop? Did you carry a gun?. . . Oh, but in Australia, not much happened there!”
Have you seen the Oscar nominated movie, Animal Kingdom? I knew some of the real criminals portrayed in that movie, and knew the two young cops that were ambushed and killed. And yes, I carried a Smith and Wesson '38 . . . . I wrote the cop stories, like vignettes in Candace Bushnell’s Sex and the City.”*
I remember my first week out of the Academy going to visit a girlfriend, who worked in a local coffee shop. I walked in, in uniform, and my friend pointed to my Smith and Wesson 38 at my hip and exclaimed, “Oh my god is that loaded?”
What a silly question I thought, and answered, “Of course it’s loaded, what do you expect me to do if a criminal points a gun at me? Say, Please sir can you just stop for a second, while I load this thing, thanks very much. Of course it’s loaded.”
Our training for using our standard police issue Smith and Wesson 38’s was pretty basic when I joined the police force. In the Academy we were taught how to shoot. This was my very first time using a firearm, and I remember being surprised at the “kick back” as my very first bullet landed in the police academy firing range ceiling!
The basics I learned: You have to ‘cock the gun’ and get a sight line for any kind of possible aim of accuracy. This basic training frankly ‘goes out the window’ when you are using it in self defense in the heat of the moment with all the tension and adrenaline running through your veins.
Once out of the Academy, every six months you had to “re-qualify’ by going to the shooting range and getting 36 out of 40 rounds on a target body silhouette or you were not licensed to carry a firearm. Every time I went to qualify my partner at the time would joke “how many do you want us to get on yours for you?”
I was not an accurate shot, and I did not and still don’t like firearms but there was no way I would be on the streets as a cop without one. Despite the joking around about my accuracy, I did not know one cop in my five years on the force, who was trigger happy.
I almost shot someone whilst on duty, but in the split second between me pulling the trigger and not I stopped and avoided shooting what was eventually established to be an unarmed man. I only had to draw my weapon a few times, and thankfully never pulled the trigger but I did come very close one night.
It was soon after the Walsh street killings. Every cop was on edge and so upset because of the ambush and shooting of two young cops, who were a few squads junior to me in the Academy. I knew them to say “hi” to. They were both based at our neighboring police station so we crossed paths regularly.
Constables, Steve Tynan, 22, and Damian Eyre, 20, were checking reports of a suspect vehicle in Walsh Street, South Yarra, early hours of a quiet morning. The car had been left with the motor running in the middle of a suburban street. When the young trainee constables went to investigate, they were both shot at point blank range, for no reason except that these particular criminals hated cops.
Steve and Damian had no chance and it was only then I realized for the first time that wearing a uniform and driving a police car we are walking, moving targets and these criminals see us before we see them.
There is not doubt there have been many controversial police shootings and each and everyone of them need to be thoroughly investigated. I believe unless you are there, it is very difficult to be judge and jury. There is no doubt there have been many unjustified police shootings. There have also been cops ambushed, and shot to death by criminals just because they were cops.
I personally believe no civilian should carry a gun that doesn’t need to be reloaded after six rounds. I am happy to debate this... I believe a civilian has no valid excuse to have a semi-automatic. “A right to defend yourself?” Yes, you can have a six shooter so if a criminal attacks your home you have that. An army is not going to attack your home. Since when has a civilian needed more than a six shooter to defend themselves? A right to bear arms? Yes, and if you want more than a six shooter then you need to have a very valid clearance that only a few people in the United states should be allowed to have (and also you have to reapply every few years).
I talk more about cops and guns, including my training at the police academy in Chapter 8, aptly titled, “Cops and Guns,” in my memoir, Sex, Love & Cops.
P.S. It's Wednesday, September 12th, 2018, and I cannot get out of my head another black man shot by the police last week in Dallas... A policewoman came home off duty, entered the wrong apartment, and shot and killed a black business man in his own apartment minding his own business! If this is case is true, this is a wrongful shooting, and should be treated accordingly. I do not defend horrible tragedies such as this one. My advice is only we cannot be judge and jury until all the evidence comes in. It's careless for the general public to weigh in on these matters until a thorough investigation is done, which in this case has just started.

Just in the past few months,
- An Applebee’s employee uploaded a stingy customer’s receipt to the internet to publicly humiliate them in front of a worldwide audience
- A barista at a Seattle coffee shop created a popular blog to mock his employer’s customers
- A Kentucky Fried Chicken employee posted a Facebook photo of herself licking customers’ food
Some companies might consider demanding access to employees’ social media accounts to prevent this kind of bad publicity — but can they do that? And what are the risks?
Legislation blocking companies’ access to employees’ social media accounts:
In April 2012, Maryland became the first state to enact legislation barring employers from requiring employees and job applicants to provide their social media passwords. Similar legislation is now moving forward in Olympia.
- Senate Bill 5211 prohibits employers from requiring, as a condition of employment, an employee or job seeker from providing a password or account information.
- Employers may still obtain information that is in the public domain.
- The legislation allows employees to bring civil actions, which could result in an award of $500, plus damages and attorney fees.
The bill is moving right along, and looks like it may very well pass. Similar federal legislation has been introduced in Washington, DC.
Is this solving a real, or just a perceived, problem?
A few weeks ago, I was in Olympia with HR professionals from around the state. We were asked to raise our hands if we had ever asked an employee or job seeker for their social media password. Not one hand went up. But clearly, lawmakers think this is a problem in need of a solution.
How companies utilize social media info in employment decisions:
A 2012 survey by CareerBuilder revealed that 37% of companies use social networking sites to research job candidates, and another 11% planned to start doing so.
What were employers looking for? They reported they were primarily looking to see if the candidate was professional, would fit in well with their company’s culture, and was qualified for the job.
When employers found information that led them to not hire the candidate, what was the nature of the info? It tended to be inappropriate photos, information about drinking or drugs, poor communication skills or negativity towards a former employer.
What social media info made employers decide to hire candidates? 29% of the employers said they discovered information that helped them decide to hire the candidate. In these cases, the positive info revealed the candidate’s personality and professionalism, confirmed their qualifications, showed they had a well-rounded background, and displayed their communication skills.
Nevertheless, we still don’t know how many companies are requiring employees or job seekers to provide them with their social media passwords, versus glimpsing what already exists in the public domain. Certainly anecdotal stories exist, but it’s hard to find case studies, surveys, or lawsuits to back them up.
The expectation of privacy in social media & what this means for businesses:
State and federal legislation is leaning towards creating an expectation of privacy in social media posts.
This is important for businesses, because employers may become privy to information that they don’t have the right to know, and which can then become the basis for a claim of discrimination or retaliation.
Here are a few examples.
- A Facebook review of a prospective job seeker reveals that the individual is in the Military Reserves. You decide not to hire them because you are concerned they could become deployed, leaving you short handed. You have now violated both federal and state laws protecting military personnel and veterans.
- You check out a job applicant’s social media page and see that they’re part of the high school graduating class of 1965. You had no idea they were that old, and decide not to hire them, as they might only be planning to work for another couple years. You’ve violated the Age Discrimation in Employment Act.
- You check out one of your employees on Facebook and realize that they are in a same sex relationship. This doesn’t sit well with your personal beliefs, so you terminate them. You’re now violating state anti-discrimination laws.
All of the hypothetical situations above are examples of information we do not have the right to ask a job seeker or an employee. Peeking at someone’s personal life via their social media accounts can be a dangerous pastime, as it opens us up to claims of retaliation and/or discrimination.
Up until now, we haven’t been able to listen in when our employees talked to their friends and families after work hours. We haven’t been able to see what they’re doing in their leisure time. And we haven’t been able to satisfy our prurient curiosities about them without them knowing.
Social media has turned the expectation of privacy on its head, and threatens the basis of trust in our employer-employee relationship.
- We must take a step back and ask ourselves, “What kind of work environment do we want to create, and what kind of relationship do we wish to have with our staff?”
- If we do believe we have the right to intrude on our employees’ personal lives via their social media accounts, will they still want to work for us, and what will that working relationship be like?
Furthermore, would demanding the log-in information to employees’ social media accounts really prevent embarrassing incidents like Applebee’s Receipt-Gate, or deter employees from creating anonymous blogs to mock customers? In all likelihood, these things would have happened anyway.
Employers are probably better off focusing on clearly communicating their expectations of acceptable employee conduct, rather than potentially breeding resentment by intruding on workers’ lives via their social media accounts. | <urn:uuid:bcb4b8c8-64be-45cf-bb91-f3902099617c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.westsoundworkforce.com/can-businesses-access-employees-social-media-accounts/ | 2023-09-23T18:40:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.962074 | 1,205 |

The Tigers defender is currently out of action as he nurses a knee injury.
Cyrus Christie was one of 16 signings made by Hull City last summer, when he joined the club on a free transfer after his release by Fulham, following their promotion to the Premier League.
Having held talks with other possible options, City brought in the 30-year-old on a two-year contract with the option of a third amid interest from other Championship clubs.
The popular defender had impressed during a six-month loan stint at Swansea City last season having registered five assists and three goals in his 23 outings, form which ensured Swans boss Russell Martin was keen to bring him back to South Wales on a permanent deal during the summer months.
Swansea’s loss was to be City’s gain, with the East Yorkshire club snapping him up and handing him a lucrative contract at the MKM Stadium.
“At Swansea, I went there and got three goals and five assists in 23 appearances,” he told The Beautiful Game podcast. “I was loving it there, I enjoyed it. It made me change the way I was thinking at that time and how I’d been for the last few years.
“I got to see how it is to go into a club where the fans love you and take to you and the manager, I felt the love. Swansea said to me that they wanted to sign me after a few games, I was up for it and said ‘yeah, let’s talk’. Then it went quiet, and nothing was happening. | <urn:uuid:80d9d721-a85e-43d6-a349-2abd452a5b9e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.whatsoninhull.com/bit-baffled-hull-city-star-drops-big-swansea-city-transfer-revelation/ | 2023-09-23T17:29:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.989994 | 328 |
State Police are still searching for pregnant woman who went missing 28 years ago
MACEDON, N.Y. — New York State Police are still working to find out what happened to a pregnant woman in Macedon who went missing 28 years ago.
Sandra Sollie was last seen on the afternoon of May 23, 1994 in the Ames Plaza at Route 31 in Macedon. Her six-year-old black poodle also went missing.
Sandra’s car was found at her home on Route 350 in Macedon. In addition, her wallet was later found in bushes off Reed Street in the City of Rochester and her dog’s collar was found in a dumpster in Penfield.
Sandra was seven months pregnant when she disappeared. She was 38 at the time.
State Police say they’re interviewed multiple people over the year but haven’t solved the case. Sanda is a white female, who is 5 feet 5 inches tall, 160 pounds with brown eyes and dark brown hair. Anyone with information is asked to call state police at 585-398-4100. | <urn:uuid:fe45ab00-088b-49a5-a5ce-a11f7728c133> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.whec.com/local/state-police-are-still-searching-for-pregnant-woman-who-went-missing-22-years-ago/ | 2023-09-23T16:54:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.980641 | 229 |
WHITECHAPEL SOCIETY INTERIM EVENT
BY TONY POWER
When we arranged to visit the River Police Museum in Wapping earlier in the year, we had no idea that we would all still have an interest in the World Cup—how wrong we were!! While England’s unexpected progress did have an inevitable effect on our numbers, a small intrepid band of enthusiastic explorers gathered outside Whitechapel station for what would prove to be a fascinating afternoon: an hour or two at the Thames River Police Museum, followed by a swift exit to one of the local hostelries to catch as much as we could of the England match.
The first thing to say about the museum is that it is only open four days a year and two of those days are part of the London Open House Weekend in September, so it’s best not to just turn up and hope for the best—you will need to know when it’s open. It’s located in Wapping, close to the Underground station, and around a hundred or so yards from a rather striking modern building that is decorated with white mouldings made of glass-reinforced plastic. It’s situated in what was once an old riverside house, that was bought in the 18th century, and converted into a workshop within the headquarters of the Metropolitan Police’s Marine Police Unit. It’s quite a compact space, but a lot of history has been crammed into it, and to quote from their website, this includes:
“… uniforms and documents, which trace the history of the Thames River Police from its inception in 1798 to the present day. There is also a fine collection of the everyday “Hardware” of policing from handcuffs to cutlasses”.
The River Police were one of the first uniformed forces in the world, and while it was a government body, it was funded by the shipping companies who were losing huge amounts of stock to pilfering locals at the time. The cost of setting up this force was £4,200 but within the first six months of its existence, it had managed to save local merchants over £122,000 as well as saving several lives! In fact, it was so successful that the local criminal populace rioted outside the station to protest their loss of earnings! Mr. John Harriott, confronted the crowd with armed officers and read the Riot Act to them ( and yes there really was one!) They refused to disperse, and a bullet was discharged hitting Master Lumper, Gabriel Franks, who later died of his injuries. The crowd were dispersed by further gunfire and many arrests followed.
Of the many interesting items in the museum was the original flag from the Princess Alice Disaster of 1865, in which six-hundred-and-fifty souls perished. The disaster was the greatest loss of life on the River and was one in which Elizabeth Stride famously claimed to have lost her husband, (although this is widely disputed). Another link to the Whitechapel Murders was the fact that the photographer who took the mortuary pictures of the Ripper victims was due to be on board the Princess Alice on the day of the disaster but was called away to a family event.
The highlight of the afternoon, however, was an opportunity to speak at some length to one of the museum curators, Richard Pattison, who had been a River Policeman since the 1970’s. He explained in detail the work of a Thames Officer and the type of things that they had to deal with. The worst of these was the recovery of dead bodies. There are around sixty bodies found in the Thames every year! This was heart breaking for him and was something that he stated he and his colleagues never got used to.
Some interesting facts he shared were; that a body floats down the Thames at a speed of seven miles an hour, and that even in the height of Summer, death due to exposure will occur in less than an hour, if the body remains submerged. In Winter, death can occur to a submerged body in a matter of minutes! Richard described the mechanics of retrieving a body. He also explained the issues that arose from contamination and how they eventually gave rise to the creation of two ‘dirty boats’ so that he and his colleagues had something in which to store the bodies as they pulled them ashore.
Richard had been heavily involved in the Marchioness Disaster in 1989, where the rescue and recovery operation was made all the more difficult by the large crowds of people that gathered on the banks. The almost permanent presence of television cameras meant that they had to be mindful of how the recovery operation was perceived. And, rather ghoulishly, bodies were still being discovered for months after the disaster.
All in all, it was a really enjoyable afternoon. If you do get a chance to visit, there are plenty of lovely old pubs in the area to refresh yourselves afterwards! The next Open Days for the museum will be Open House Weekend on Saturday 22 and Sunday 23 September and I would well-recommend a visit! | <urn:uuid:c1d75a82-9c46-4683-a479-529b5e9768e2> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.whitechapelsociety.com/river-police-museum-in-wapping-by-tony-power/ | 2023-09-23T18:15:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.986491 | 1,045 |

Current assets are the group of liquidity assets or resources controlled by the entity and have a useful life for less than one year. Some current assets are expected to be used and converted into cash for less than one year.
The current assets include petty cash, cash on hand, cash in the bank, cash advance, short-term loan, accounts receivables, inventories, short-term staff loan, short-term investment, and prepaid expenses.
For example, accounts receivable are expected to be collected as cash within one year. Do such inventories, expected to sell to customers and concerted into cash within one year.
In financial statements, these groups of current assets are recorded in the balance sheet and show the value at the end of the reporting date. The following is the list of current assets that normally occur or report in financial statements. Current assets are not recording the company income statement, yet they will affect the income statements once the assets are derecognized from the balance sheet.
List (Types) of Current Assets:
Related Article: Current Assets
1) Petty Cash:
Petty cash is classified as current assets, and it refers to a small amount of cash used in operation for small and immediate expenses. This cash usually ranks from USD 500 to USD 2,000 based on the size and nature of the operation. And it Is also pending on the nature of the company as well as the decision of the management.
Some companies operate in locations where local suppliers did not accept credit or where few banks in the area required a bit hefty amount of petty cash.
The recording of petty cash moves from cash in the bank or on hand to petty cash and then transfers to expenses at the time of settlement.
Petty cash balance shown in the balance sheet under the current assets section. And sometimes, it is part of the cash and cash equivalence line. You might not be able to see the petty cash amount in the face of the balance sheet, but you could find it in the note to cash and cash equivalence.
2) Cash on Hand:
Cash on hand is the current assets that come from cash sales or cash collection from the entity’s customers. This cash usually does not allow making payment to suppliers before it banks in or transfers to petty cash.
For example, the company sells the goods to customers for a cash amount of $1,000. In this case, we debit cash on hand in the balance sheet and credit sales in the income statement.
For accounting records, for example, when the entity’s customers settle the goods that they purchase on credit by cash transactions, the accounting record would be debit cash on hand and then credit account receivable. No transaction affects the P&L.
This transaction does not increase current assets. It just transfers from one account to another account under the same class.
Sometimes, the entity might transfer part of its cash on hand into petty cash, and the accounting records would be debit to the petty cash account and credit to cash on hand.
Cash on hand is also classified in the current assets section of the entity’s balance sheet. Cash on hand does not record in the entity’s income statement.
3) Cash in Bank:
Cash in the bank refers to all kinds of money that the entity has in the bank. It can be a current account, savings account, fixed-term deposit, or similar. However, for the fixed-term deposit that has a term of more than one year, that part of the amount should be classed into non-current assets, long-term investment.
Normally, the company performs monthly bank reconciliation to make sure that accounting records are correctly shown the right amount.
Cash in the bank has nature the same as other current assets. It is increasing on debit and decreasing credit. It shows balance at the specific date in the balance sheet.
4) Cash Advance:
A cash advance is also classed as current assets, and its nature is quite similar to cash on hand and cash in the bank. Cash advance occurs when staff needs some cash to spend for some kind of mission or event or some time to purchase sometimes.
For example, sales staff will have their mission in the province or another country. Staff might need some money to pay for their accommodation, traveling, and food. The entity’s policy might allow staff to advance some amount of money equivalence to their estimated expenses for the mission.
For example, the cost of the mission is around USD1,000. The entity may advance to its staff amount USD 1,000, and the accounting records will be credit cash on hand or bank and debit cash advance.
The amount of cash advance will show outstanding until staff settles the advance. Normally, the staff must bring the original invoices to confirm what they spend is for the correct purpose and amount.
5) Short Term Staff Loan:
A short-term staff loan is also the type of current asset. It varies from one company to another. Some company wants to motivate their staff, and they allow their staff to borrow the company’s money for a short-term period like three to six months.
When the short-term loan is provided to the staff, the company needs to record those outstanding loan amounts in the entity financial statements under the correct assets section. The company might consider the loan on another management account for controlling purposes.
The accounting record for these transactions is simple. We move the amount of loan from cash in the bank or on hand to short-term staff loans. In case the loan is more than one year, then that part of the loan should be classified as long-term assets.
6) Accounts Receivable:
Accounts receivable is the type of current assets as they are expected to collect within one year. This happens when the entity sells goods or services to its customers on credit and the credit period is within one year. It depends on the entity’s policies. Some entity gives 30 days, and some give 60 days.
As long as this credit period is less than one year, we class it into current assets. The accounting record of Accounts receivable is simple.
At the time of purchasing, we just record debit AR and Credit Sales. And at the time of payment, we just transfer from AR to Cash or Bank.
Inventories are current assets. Normally, for the production company, there are three types of inventories. Raw material, Work in progress and finish goods.
The raw material is what the company purchases from its suppliers. Work in progress is the kind of in-progress goods, and the cost normally combines the raw material, labor, and other direct overhead.
Finish goods are finished products that are ready for sales. In the balance sheet, inventories are recorded under the current assets section in one line, and an explanation will be shown in Noted to Financial Statements.
Inventories are classified as current assets; however, the process that it takes to convert into cash might be longer than other kinds of current assets like cash on hand, cash in the bank, and account receivable.
The number of inventories at the end of the specific period is shown on the balance sheet. Inventories will record recognize as the cost of goods sold or expenses in the period that they are sold or used.
8) Prepaid Expenses:
There are many kinds of prepaid expenses. For example, prepaid interest expenses, prepaid insurance expenses, as well as prepaid rent.
These things are not classified as expenses yet since the goods or services are not provided. At the time of payment, these expenses are classified as current assets and wait until goods or services are provided.
The entity can prepare a prepaid expenses schedule to ensure that some prepaid expenses are recorded eventually for certain kinds of prepaid expenses.
For example, Prepaid insurance expenses normally cover 12 months, and you can prepare 12 months schedule to ensure that expenses will be correctly recorded in Financial statements.
Prepaid expenses increase on debit and decrease on credit like other current assets. They are increasing at the time the company paid in advance to the suppliers. In another word, they increase when the company pays for goods or services that they don’t receive.
9) Short Term Investments:
Any short-term investment that is expected to be sold or converted into cash within 12 months from reporting dates should be classed as current assets. These included stocks or any other kind of investment.
10) Short Term Loan:
The company might sometimes provide some small loans to another company or the company under the same group.
Such loans that are expected to be collected within one year should be classed as current assets. However, the part of the loan that is expected to be corrected for more than one year should class as non-current assets.
How to calculate current assets?
Calculation of current assets is very straightforward, or sometimes you don’t need to calculate as it clearly shows the balance sheet. As mentioned above, you can see the total value of current assets at the end of the reporting period in the balance sheet assets section. Most of the balance sheet shows the total amount.
However, you can calculate the current assets on your own if you are not provided the figure. For example, assets equal to liability plus equity. Once you can find the total assets, then you just need to remove the total value of fixed assets from total assets. Then, the remaining is the total value of current assets.
Current Assets refer to those assets that have their expected conversion period is less than one year from the reporting date.

Visiting the Checkerboard Mares and Foals at BLM’s Bleak Private Feedlot in Bruneau, IdahoJune 12, 2018
Please Comment Now on Devastating and Deadly Plan for Wyoming’s Wild Horses in the North Lander ComplexJune 27, 2018
Action Alert: Wild Horses and other Wildlife are Running Out of Water in Sand Wash Basin – Now is the Time to Call the BLM and Say Let Wild Horse Warriors Haul Water To Sand Wash Basin
By Carol J. Walker
Two weeks ago I was visiting the wild horses in Sand Wash Basin and became very concerned because the Basin was the dryest I have even seen since I started visiting in 2011. Many of the southern waterholes that are the most visited were almost dry or already dry, and in the northern part of the area, Sheepherder Spring’s pump was broken and not working and while was in the area, one of the sheep ranchers who has a grazing lease turned off the water at Lake Draw and removed the tanks. Over 300 wild horses, plus elk, antelope and other wildlife depend on the water that these two springs provide. There are approximately 750 wild horses on the 150,000 Herd Management Area.
Wild Horse Warriors of Sand Wash Basin quickly got the water turned back on and a small temporary tank in place, then just days ago have now a system of tanks set back up at Lake Draw. The water is now flowing at Sheepherder Springs. But Coffee Pot Springs, the most northern springs that provide water for the horses and other wildlife is completely dry. Horses come in and look for water and it is not there.
Wild Horse Warriors has been fundraising and now has the tanks ready to set up at Coffee Pot, they have the volunteers and vehicles and they have a plan for where to get the water. What they do not have is the permission of the BLM to haul the water to the horses. The BLM is not being asked for a dime, they are not being asked for equipment, they are not being asked for a minute of time of employees to haul water – all they have to do is grant permission. This organization has been working with the BLM so they are a known quantity. There is no downside for the BLM. An article yesterday in the Craig Daily Press quotes Steve Hall of the Colorado State Office of the BLM regarding why the BLM will not allow volunteers to haul water to the horses:
“The BLM may begin hauling water if the quantity of water is insufficient to support horse health, indicated by a loss of body condition, he (Steve Hall) added.
“I think there is a lot of confusion about the state of the horses in Sand Wash. Droughts impacts on wild horses become visible fairly quickly when the horses are not getting enough water,” Hall said. “We’re currently monitoring for those signs, and if we see those signs — that drought is having a negative impact on the wild horses — then we’ll determine what the appropriate measures are at that time to take. We’re not there yet.”
He explained that managing wild horses during drought is all about timing.
“Letting horses seek water as they naturally should prevents them from becoming reliant on artificially provided water. … It has been shown that horses can become reliant on hauled water and won’t seek it elsewhere, and also, if they get too dry, they won’t drink when (water is) provided to them,” Hall said. “Wild horses are managed to remain wild, and establishing reliant water sources too early into a dry season can be counterproductive.”
In McCullough Peaks near Cody, Wyoming the volunteer group FOAL works closely with the Cody BLM office and has hauled water to the MCCullough Peaks wild horses for the past 6 years when needed – they do not wait for the horses to be suffering and having their body condition deteriorate before hauling water – it is simply done as a necessary, humane act.
Waiting for horses to look bad enough for non-veterinarians to determine if it is “bad enough” can result in horses dying, foals dying and other wildlife dying. Does the BLM want a crisis on its hands before they act? Are they waiting until they can take some photos of dehydrated dying wild horses that they can show to prove that wild horses need to be removed from our public lands? Are they wanting justification to do an “emergency” helicopter roundup of the wild horses at Sand Wash Basin?
How can you help?
Call the Colorado BLM State Office – tell them to give permission now for Wild Horse Warriors to haul water to Sand Wash Basin:

Our Firm Is Committed To Giving Your Case A Fair Chance
If You’re Reading This, You Probably Know That Sinking Feeling…
You’re driving home at night when a car’s headlights show up in your rearview mirror. The glare distracts you and you drift over the line for just a moment… Blue and red lights start flashing…
You’re being pulled over.
Before you know it, an officer is asking for your license and registration, and you’re under investigation for DWI.
The feeling that comes along with this is hard to shake – but you’re not the only one who’s been in this position…
And you don’t have to go through this alone.
If Your BAC Was Over The Legal Limit, You May Feel Like You Have No Chance To Win
So many people charged with DWI feel defeated from the start – so they plead guilty, thinking that a Breathalyzer or roadside test result will set their fate in stone.
But the truth is… Even what looks like a bad case on paper could have a host of flaws that make the evidence against you absolutely useless to the prosecution.
Technical And Procedural Errors Can Be Difficult To Spot Without A Trained Eye
This is why the majority of people charged with DWI face the full weight of the law… Because most people don’t understand their right to fair and verified testing.
But What If You Had The Resources To Fight Your DWI Charge, Assert Your Rights Before The Court, And Walk Away With Your Situation Totally Improved?
It’s Possible – In fact, I’ve seen it happen before…
My client, who we’ll call “Laura”, was charged with DWI in New Jersey, and she came to me with an incredibly difficult case…
Her breath test results were over the legal limit, and she was facing the harsh consequences that can come with a first-time DWI conviction, including: license suspension, fines, and even the ignition interlock device.
Did You Know That You Can Avoid A DWI Conviction By Dismissing Bad Evidence?
By showing that the evidence against her wasn’t reliable, I was able to help Laura have her charges reduced… and she saw the consequences of her charge all but disappear.
As a result, she walked away without a DWI on her criminal record.
How is this possible?
Our Story Starts In A Restaurant…
Laura went out for a few drinks at a restaurant one night. As she was about to leave, the bartender got worried that she would drive home.
Laura insisted that she wasn’t intoxicated, but the bartender wouldn’t let it go…
After almost half an hour of debating that she shouldn’t drive home, the bartender called the police.
Laura Was Sure She Could Drive, But She Called A Friend Anyway
When the officers got there, they took an informal look into the situation. They spoke to Laura, but she already had a friend on the way to come pick her up…
So, when her friend drove Laura’s car away with her in the passenger seat, everyone thought that the story was over.
Unfortunately, This Was Just The Beginning
Laura’s friend drove her to another friend’s house, where they all stayed and chatted for a while. After an hour or so, everyone agreed that it was safe for her to drive home.
She got in the car and made her way down a winding road when a pair of bright headlights started shining in her rearview mirror… and they were coming up fast.
When Someone’s Following You, It’s Easy To Get Nervous And Make Mistakes
As the car continued to get closer and closer, Laura did what any cautious driver would do…
She took her eyes off the road for a second to make sure that the person behind her wasn’t putting her in danger.
Meanwhile, her vehicle went slightly over the fog line – just for a moment… But that was all it took.
A feeling of dread washed over her – the headlights started flashing blue and red – she couldn’t believe it, but she was being pulled over.
Laura Was Stopped For Failing To Maintain Her Lane… But Something Strange Happened
Laura and the officer recognized each other at once. It was the same police officer who responded to the call at the restaurant she was at earlier.
The officer immediately asked Laura to perform three field sobriety tests… The heel-to-toe touch, the one leg stand, and the horizontal gaze nystagmus (HGN).
You may have taken these tests yourself – officers across the U.S. use them to find “probable cause” for a DWI arrest.
The thing is…
Even Though She Did Everything Right, Laura Was Arrested For DWI
Laura’s field sobriety tests were captured on the officer’s dash cam, and she performed fairly well…
Unfortunately, case law in New Jersey allows judges a lot of leeway when it comes to deciding how important your performance on a roadside sobriety test will be in your case…
So We Brought In An Expert Witness
In my experience, this is the number one way to successfully prove that the roadside tests that you performed were administered or graded incorrectly.
But that’s not all…
My Firm Works With One Of The Best Witnesses Available:
A Former New Jersey State Trooper
This expert is truly the best of the best.
Not only is he trained on roadside tests… Not only did he administer thousands of these tests throughout his career…
He was personally responsible for running the DWI detection training program across the entire state of New Jersey.
This means that he can critique any officer who grades or administers a roadside test incorrectly, making the evidence less reliable to a prosecuting attorney…
And that’s just what he did in Laura’s case.
But We Still Had The Results Of Laura’s Breath Test To Deal With
When the results of Laura’s breath test came back, they were above the legal BAC limit of 0.08%…
But our expert can also critique the way that breath tests are administered… and he found two major issues in Laura’s case.
First, the certificate of analysis for the machine wasn’t notarized. Second, the officers didn’t follow the “20-minute” protocol. But why does that matter?
Because you have to prove that the breath test result is accurate before you use it to convict someone of a DWI.
If you can show legitimate reasons to suggest a test may not be accurate, you can’t assume that the person was intoxicated – because you can’t assume that the breath test result is accurate.
One By One, Problems In The Case Against Laura Started Stacking Up
As all of these issues started coming out, it became clear that the prosecution’s case against Laura was losing its footing… and that was exactly what we were looking to accomplish.
In cases like these, it may be easy for the prosecution to shrug off one or two defense attacks on the case…
But once you start building the defenses, and breaking down the state’s arguments, it puts a certain pressure on their narrative that might just bring the whole thing down.
To do this, you have to call everything about the case into question…
So We Went To Trial…
I don’t like to negotiate with a prosecutor until I have everything I need to find the outcome your case deserves – I won’t piecemeal any case that I handle.
Once we had all the evidence, we were ready. Laura was adamant that she wasn’t intoxicated, and I was adamant that the evidence against her was unreliable… So, we stayed with the process…
We had to go back to court six times over the course of a year. I had to fight the entire way…
Until Eventually, The Case Against Her Completely Fell Apart
In the end, the prosecution could see that there were far too many holes in their argument…
They dropped the DWI charge, and Laura walked away ecstatic with the results.
Imagine What It Would Be Like To Have An Attorney Who Is This Dedicated To Giving You The Defense You Deserve
DWI cases in New Jersey are meant to be resolved within 60 days… but I don’t adhere to that timeline. Why?
Because 60 days just isn’t enough time for me to get to know your case, find the evidence you need, and fight for the outcome you deserve.
Not every case takes a year to resolve, and the majority of DWI cases won’t go to trial, but if yours does – don’t you want an attorney who you can trust to go the distance?
I Don’t Mind If I Have To Take Years To Get The Right Result In Your Case
I am always prepared to take things as far as they need to go to get the result that you need.
Although this is something I do every day, I know that your case isn’t just a “number” or a “file” to you – instead, it could have a deep impact on your life.
That’s why over the decades, I’ve handled thousands of these cases and I’ve developed a one-of-a-kind process… And that’s why you can rely on me to stick to this process – because it works.

- Customer Service
The most valuable thing we have is probably our time. A good customer service organization recognizes that your time is important, so they do everything in their power to minimize the headache of lost time.
One of the things we do to value our clients’time is setting a two hour appointment window. When you call our company to set an appointment, we will give you a two hour appointment of arrival on the available day you requested. Other companies might give a window of several hours, requiring you to take the whole day off from work. Additionally, we will call you shortly before we arrive at your home. This way, you could be at work and we can give you advance notice so you’ll have time to meet us.
Another thing we do is make a background check of all the people that we hire. Employees’backgrounds must be completely clean. This can be a challenging standard, but we think it is worthwhile in the long run. We do this so you can feel at-ease with having our employees at your home. If you desire, you can meet them at your home to discuss the issue and authorize the work to be done, and then leave them there with the peace of mind that our employees are trustworthy.
Finally, we make after-hour appointments available. This will be a slightly larger investment, obviously, but it may be a useful option for the customers who need it. We have someone on call every hour of every day. If the circumstances prevent you from leaving work, we will make after-hour appointments available to you to make sure that we properly value your time.
If you would like to schedule a job, use our online form or call us at 540-352-4262. | <urn:uuid:14236379-a702-4004-bef7-9c07b146acbe> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.wislerplumbingandair.com/valuing-our-clients-time-and-trust/ | 2023-09-23T18:27:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.954014 | 373 |
We all like this cornbread very much. We like a sweet cornbread. Southern style cornbread has less flour and sugar. I used to have a different favorite cornbread recipe but that was in Utah at an elevation of 5,000 feet. It was a recipe from Utah State Fare, so it was designed for the elevation there. When we moved here to Arizona that recipe didn’t turn out as well. After trying out a few recipes, this is the one we settled on as our favorite. I have doubled this and put it in a 9 x 13 inch pan, but it is not quite as good. Doubling the baking powder is the likely culprit for it not being the same.
Baking at Home with The Culinary Institute of America is a cookbook I highly recommend. The cornbread recipe is just one of many excellent recipes in that book. It is one of those cookbooks that every recipe I try is delicious.
Butter for greasing
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
Preheat oven to 350° F. Lightly grease an 8-inch pan and lightly dust with cornmeal or sugar.
Mix together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk and oil until blended. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and combine until just mixed.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until the surface is golden brown and springs back when lightly pressed with your fingertip, 20-25 minutes.
Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before cutting it. Serve warm. Makes about 9 pieces. (Recipe says 16 by cutting into 2-inch-square pieces but that is quite small.)
I like to spread some butter over the top before cutting. | <urn:uuid:2aa46bca-4efa-4fd0-b152-b41f7f84380d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.withlovefrommom.recipes/2017/01/07/cornbread/ | 2023-09-23T17:02:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.961348 | 427 |
Women for Political Change (WFPC) aims to will build the political power of young women, trans, and nonbinary individuals. The statewide student chapters are made up of people who identify as queer, trans, disabled, and BIPOC (Black Indigenous and People of Color).
Ongoing evolution has been a hallmark of the relatively young collective, which transitioned from a student group at the University of Minnesota–Twin Cities in 2015 into a formal nonprofit in 2018. In recent months, it has begun to change the nature of its organization.
As a typically event-oriented group, WFPC leaders struggled in 2020 to adjust to the constraints of the pandemic. In past years they hosted house parties aimed at fundraising or educating attendees about political power.
“We started the year so strong. We had this beautiful brunch in January [with] local speakers and free food. We we were able to talk about [our] work. We had a poetry performance, a panel,” says co-founder Felicia Philibert. “That’s been a hard thing to do in the pandemic, bringing people together and build[ing] meaningful relationships.”
WFPC pivoted to generate on-the-ground support with a mutual aid fund after the group saw that many nonprofits were not directly responding to its base of women, trans, and non-binary folks under the age of 30. That aid included political education, resource-sharing, fighting against possible evictions, and establishing a commitment to statewide mutual aid. “When people are fed and their kids are clothed and they have a house over their head, then [they can say] ‘Now we can organize.’ That is where we see the role — mutual aid and education, and less policy and politicians,” says co-founder Ana Mendoza-Packham.
The group announced sweeping organizational changes in October. Restructuring will transition executive directors to program directors. Its mutual aid fund will be more easily accessible.
WFPC also is eliminating its 501c4 status as a tax-deductible social welfare organization, maintaining its 501c3 status. It will invest in the power and political education of its base.
“Nonprofits are not going to house the revolution. We are very much aware of the nonprofit industrial complex. Our long-term vision is that WFPC [will] not exist in our present form,” says Philibert, who is transitioning from Education & Advocacy Director to Operations Director.
As a queer Haitian American, with a background in electoral politics, social work, and organizational development, Philibert believes in the intersectional nature of the work. “WFPC is a means to an end. As we make these transitions, our goal is to sustain the work of the revolution as a whole, and our community’s work, and not the nonprofit organization itself,” Philibert says. “We are not scared to say that we mess up sometimes and want to be in relation with folks so that we can address their needs and concerns, be real on that front, and build meaningful relationships.”
The killing of George Floyd brought attention to the organization, which raised money for its Mutual Aid Fund and the Frontlines Fund, which was for Black youth leading protests. The mutual aid fund now has a coordinator to restructure the program according to community requests, and will re-open for applications.
“The uprisings over the summer brought us a lot of visibility,” says Mendoza-Packham. “While we did play a significant role in distributing aid and resources, the uprisings didn’t happen because of us. We weren’t the catalyst of that. We just helped where we could.”
Felicia Philibert and Ana Mendoza- Packham say helping out neighbors needs to happen year-round and encourage mutual aid donations. WFPC is seeking feedback from queer Black youth, ages 16-24, on the future of its Mutual Aid Fund and the organization’s overall efforts. womenforpoliticalchange.orgzp-pdl.com http://www.otc-certified-store.com/herbal-products-medicine-europe.html https://zp-pdl.com/get-a-next-business-day-payday-loan.php | <urn:uuid:398de261-c67b-4ba5-b2a9-7e1663319205> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.womenspress.com/women-for-political-change-equitable-restructuring-felicia-philibert-ana-mendoza-packham/ | 2023-09-23T16:57:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.961543 | 915 |

These lamps are my own design, but probably inspired by some of the work of Frank Lloyd Wright.
The posts in the corner are made from Sipo. I was originally going to make them from Spanish Cedar, but my local wood dealer didn't have any that was thick enough. Next time....
The grilles are made from 1/4" walnut.
The angled top is made from Spanish cedar. Its lighter color is a good choice to reflect the light.
I cut the Sipo to a rough length of 30" for the posts at the front and 36" for the posts at the back. This would be long enough to accommodate a 30 degree angle for the top. (I ended up chaning the angle to 20 degrees)
Sipo is an African wood, also known as Utile. It has characteristics similar to the Mahogany that we get from South America, but it's less expensive. This will hold up well to the outdoor weather.
On the band saw, I cut the legs to be a little over 2" wide, with the goal of having the final legs planed to be 2" square.
I used some leftover walnut that was 8/4" thick and about 10.5" wide.
I used the band saw to re-saw it to almost 1/2" thick so that the final planed dimension would be 1/4".
I could definitely feel the saw working. It would have been easier if I had a carbide blade. In this case I used a regular 1/2" blade that was fairly new.
I planed the walnut down to 1/4" thick and then cut it to width -- about 10" wide.
Using a 3/8" spiral up-cut bit in the router, with stops attached to the ends of the router table, I routed three vertical slots into the walnut. These slots would allow the light to shine through.
I used my dado set to cut notches in the side. This would create one more slot for the light to escape. It would also create 3 tabs on each side that would attach to the corner posts.
You may have noticed that this grille has only two slots cut into it. That's because I made a mistake and cut the first slot in the wrong place. I was able to recover by adjusting this design.
I purposely made two pieces like this to go onto the back of each lamp. But then I made a mistake again and forgot about this design change. When doing the assembly, I accidentally put one of the grills with two slots onto the front of one of the lamps. Ooops!!
I cut 20 degree dadoes near the top of each post to hold the Spanish cedar top in place. The angle serves two purposes: it allows the rainfall to run off the top; and it provides a nice reflective surface for the LED light to reflect outwards.
I also cut 90 degree dadoes for the bottom board. The bottom is used to hold the LED light in place.
I used blue tape on the posts to help prevent tear-out.
I cut a 1 3/4" hole in the bottom board using a Forstner bit. It's a perfect size to hold the LED light in place. It's held in place just with gravity.
I used a knife to score the acrylic sheet. This will be inserted into slots in the legs to help protect against the weather.
I used a 1/8" router bit to cut slots into the legs to hold the acrylic sheets.
The acrylic was 0.110" and the bit was 0.125", so it was perfect.
I ran the router on the slowest speed and was very careful because it's easy to break a router bit that is so thin.
I applied a spar urethane to the inside of each of the grilles. This was an important because it will be impossible to apply finish after it's assembled due to the acrylic sheets that block access to the inside of the walnut.
I carefully marked the mortises for the walnut tabs using a knife and a chisel.
Then I used the router with a 3/8" spiral up-cut bit to cut the mortises for the walnut tabs. I cleaned up the mortises with a chisel and end up with a tight fit.
It took me about 30 minutes to prepare the mortises for each side. Then I glued and clamped the walnut in place.
I was a little aggressive and left them clamped for only 30 minutes while I prepared the next side, and then removed the clamps so that I could clamp up the next side.
Then I let everything sit overnight so that the glue could cure.
I am setting the lamps on top of patio stones so that the legs will not be in direct contact with the soil.
I first drilled holes into the corners of the patio stones (after marking the position of each leg).
Then I set the lamps in place and drilled a 1/4" hole up into the legs.
I used 3 1/2" 1/4" bolts that extend from the bottom of the patio stone into each leg. There is a nut that holds the bolt in place, and it also maintains separation between the wooden leg and the patio stone.
The lamps are wired into the 12V landscape lighting wire that I already had in place, so that was the simplest part of this project.
I am really happy with the design and the way the light reflects off the Spanish cedar.

How do you decide whether a country is the worst to live in? The question is rather subjective, so, to help people gain insight into the living conditions of different countries, research studies have created an index of misery using a combination of real measurable data.
In the past couple of years, various interesting statistics pertaining to the living conditions in different countries have been created, including the increasingly popular "Misery Index". Viewing this index, it is obvious that factors such as unemployment, corruption, lack of economic freedom, runaway inflation and political stability all can contribute to making life more miserable for a nation’s citizens. Although there is no denying that subjectivity affect those deriving these qualitative metrics, the significance it holds around the world is quite interesting, nonetheless. The ten most miserable countries in the world to live in as of 2018 were:
Coinciding with major conflicts with neighboring Russia’s over Crimea and other territories, Ukraine’s GDP fell by 6.8% in 2014 while both inflation and unemployment were in the double digits. All of these economic woes combined to help drive Ukraine’s bid as one of the most miserable countries in the world in 2014. Unfortunately, in 2018, Ukraine still finds itself on the list. Considering that the country had made a great comeback and significantly recovered from the global financial crisis before these border disputes, it’s a shame that economic issues and corruption drove its people’s welfare back down. Despite desires to achieve key economic reforms in the country, Ukraine has a long way to go in improving the quality of life of its citizens.
4. South Africa
As one of the members of BRICS, a group of top emerging economies in the world, and considered to be the leading economy on the African continent, seeing South Africa in the Misery Index comes as a bit of a shock. The reason why South Africa has been given a place among the most miserable countries in the world is because it has left its unemployment levels unchecked as they surge beyond control. Around a quarter of the citizens of South Africa fail to find jobs, a severely high unemployment rate that leaves much of the populace destitute. When you add pre-existing poverty and financial inequality to the equation, the country could be said to be bound for misery. On top of it all, the country’s economic troubles have also left it prone to high rates of violent crimes, including murder, car hijacking, and kidnapping.
Known to be a sunny, vibrant country on the coast of the South Atlantic Ocean in South America, Argentina may seem like a surprising addition to this list. However, there are plenty of issues across the nation that have contributed to the misery of Argentine citizens. To begin with, inflation is extremely high in the country at a mind-boggling 36.4%. Next, the country’s economy has not managed to move forward for years, and it continues to grapple with a ballooning fiscal deficit. Crime rates are also known to be fairly high in Argentina, with drug-fueled violence leading the way. It is because of the combined effect of all these factors that Argentina has managed to score the third position in the list of the most miserable countries in the world.
Egypt approaches the top of the list of the most miserable countries in the world. This north African nation is still reeling from the crisis that it experienced in the early 2010s, which started with the Egyptian revolution in 2011. Since then, the country has seen its president overthrown, experienced a coup d'état, and elected a new leader, President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who has been accused of only making things worse. It's a lot for one decade for one country.
It is estimated that 800 people have been killed via death sentencing since 2013. The current government has been accused of shutting down non-governmental organizations and banning free speech. It is not unusual for certain websites to be blocked in the country. Currently, high unemployment rates and staggering rates of poverty are major problems in Egyptian society.
The most prominent factor driving another South American country, Venezuela, to the very top of the list of most miserable countries is its high consumer price inflation, which was recorded as having reached an astounding 62.2% in 2014. With oil prices experiencing a free fall in Venezuela, it is no surprise that its petroleum-driven economy faced extreme swings in temperament. In fact, inflation here increased to the point that an iPhone became worth nearly $50,000! Aside from luxury items, everyday necessities have also gone up to reach unsustainable levels. Such aspects inherent to the shattered economy continue to perpetuate the distress of the citizens of Venezuela.
Since 2014, approximately 3 million Venezuelans have left their country behind in search of greener pastures. Those who are not fortunate enough to leave are faced with empty grocery store and pharmacy shelves and unliveable wages. Previously, Venezuela used to be a relatively rich country within South America. However, sadly, at the present time, they are going through their worst crisis in history. | <urn:uuid:2e1cc4b0-8e7c-44bd-b337-87bfbf47878d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/the-misery-index-reveals-the-worst-countries-to-live-in.html | 2023-09-23T18:18:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.956584 | 1,042 |

I needed to write something light
"Come one, come all!" The ringmaster roared.
In top hat and tails, the buffalo was lord.
"The center ring shows an animal heater,
the amazing kangaroo hot fire eater."
"Carrying his fuel, he reaches in his pocket
for a teeny-weeny match from a little gold locket.
In goes the flame with barely a scorch.
He blows a huge fire, a big blazing torch."
"Next we have the wire balancing act.
Ruby the elephant, huge bulges in black.
Her trunk is the key, it wavers in air,
and keeps her from falling, please don't despair."
"Now focus your eyes on the farthest right ring.
Gandy the goose will conduct them and sing.
This specialty act are the dancing pink pigs,
dressed in sparkly red suits and teeny wee wigs."
"On the far left we have Johnny porcupine.
He throws quills at a target but many decline.
Watch as he whirls his quills through the air
and frames the scared rhino trembling right there."
"Finally, look high in the sky and see acrobatics
performed by huge camels, they are quite the fanatics.
They leap and they swing on tiny wood bars
and bound across space like giant brown stars."
The ringmaster says, "We're grateful you came.
Please come back next year for more wondrous games.
We'll have some new acts, a few horses and giraffes.
You can count on the giggles and shout giant laughs." | <urn:uuid:1ef866fa-6fa0-4c65-b62d-457622621b77> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.writing.com/main/view_item/item_id/2274387-Circus | 2023-09-23T16:50:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.925469 | 354 |

“Austin and his crew completely redid my front yard in a xeriscape with irrigation system built in for the plants that they installed, and I could not be happier. Quick response, excellent advice regarding the design, and they did not cut corners on anything. That means that the final result was not just beautiful upon completion, but remains beautiful years later with minimal effort on my part. Quick, hard working, and extremely professional. I cannot recommend him enough.”

He explained the issue he found, the repair needed and the process of winterizing my irrigation system. He quickly repaired the problem, winterized the irrigation and let me know he would be available in the spring to get me up and running for the next season. Austin’s professionalism, experience and honesty has made him my new and only irrigation specialist.”

Although our job was small, he never made it feel that way and spent the extra time to get everything done correctly and at a reasonable price. Incredibly professional, personable and an all around pleasure to deal with. I’ll definitely be calling Austin in the future and will certainly recommend him to others.

- What is the exact role of arrests and prison sentences in the rebellion?
- How necessary are high-profile high-sacrifice actions?
- To what extent does the public need to be on board?
Social science analyses of previous movements give many indications of potential future success – but how exactly should previous movements guide our rebellion? How do we resolve the tension between our need to be “beyond politics” when the social imbalances with respect to cause and impact of the crises mean likely solutions tend to appear politically red? When, how, and exactly why does the Rebellion need to disrupt government, companies, financial power centers, and general public life?
The Rebellion is grounded on common understandings with respect to all these issues; yet the devil is in the details. This discussion will feature arguments from two prominent Extinction Rebellion strategists, with questions and contribution to discussion possible from other rebels present.
Roger and Rupert will each speak for around 25 minutes; the second hour will consist of general discussion where rebels present can feed-back to and ask questions of Roger and Rupert. Some topics within XR are controversial: we ask rebels attending the meeting to remember to keep all discussion respectful, using I-statements and avoiding personal calling out and sarcastic or aggressive language.
The meeting is most suitable for people who already have some experience of the Extinction Rebellion.
Attendants might like to read in advance pamphlets by the speakers, Hallam’s Common Sense For The 21st Century, and Read’s Truth And Its Consequences.
The event is free but donations will be taken to cover venue hire and speaker travel expenses.

with the tiredness of the Corona era. How should I go out with you? (Mechanism of fatigue)
In 2020, life changed drastically due to the new coronavirus. There was a need to refrain from going out, work from home by telework, make meetings online, and study at home. However, the situation changed from moment to moment, and it seems that more and more people feel tired in various situations because they cannot keep up with the daily changes.
Therefore, this time, we interviewed Dr. Yasuyoshi Watanabe, a leading researcher in fatigue research, about the mechanism of fatigue and how to deal with fatigue in the with corona era.
Dr. Yasuyoshi Watanabe (RIKEN Center for Biosystems Biosciences, Health and Pathological Sciences Research Team)
with New Normal Fatigue in the Corona Era
Are more and more people feeling stressed by the corona sickness?
I live every day, I often hear about problems from people around me, and I also hear the word “new normal tiredness” in the media. In addition, according to a certain survey, one-third of them feel unwell after the start of telework. It seems that the most common upsets were stiff shoulders, followed by mental stress, and then back pain.
After all, is the number of people who are feeling mental stress due to the new normal lifestyle increasing?
(Professor Watanabe) In
the stress check item of the questionnaire survey “Measurement of physical fitness of heart 2020” (Mediplus Research Institute), a graph analyzing from high stress to low stress is posted. Looking at that percentage, the number of people with high stress did not actually increase dramatically.
The problem is that the number of people with less stress, called “low stress people,” is decreasing. And it turned out that there was a national difference. In areas with many infected people, such as the Tokyo metropolitan area, Osaka, and Hyogo, the number of people with less stress is decreasing, and the number of people who are definitely feeling stress is increasing.
On the contrary, it seems that many people in rural areas have a higher degree of health and stress has been relieved because they have more opportunities to come into contact with nature by working from home or refraining from doing so. But overall, it’s safe to say that more and more people are stressed by the infection.
There are two main causes of stress-lifestyle changes and mental stress-
Is the change in the living environment the most important thing because the number of people with low stress is decreasing?
Well, I think it is largely due to changes in the living environment.
I think that you can keep the same posture for a long time at home, you have less chance to move your body and the amount of exercise is drastically reduced, and you are not accustomed to working.
But when it comes to stress, I think the mental part is bigger. It is a psychological stress caused by anxiety such as “I don’t know when and where I get infected”, “I may not be able to continue working”, and “When will I return to my original school life”.
And it will be great that the place to dissipate the stress is lost. Opportunities to enjoy each event such as dinner and travel are decreasing. The fact that taking a vacation does not change your daily life is also considered to be a factor in accumulating stress.
How do you feel tired in the first place?
What is the fatigue mechanism?
Teacher, how does fatigue occur in the first place?
Our daily activities consist of the work of each cell in detail. When the cells of the body overwork, active oxygen (oxidative stress) increases, and when the oxidative stress damages the cells, it becomes one of the causes of feeling fatigue.
At that time, if the energy to repair the damaged cells is low, fatigue (feeling) remains.
Restorative energy is produced by metabolism from the three major nutrients, but it is the B vitamins that are essential to support the metabolism, and vitamin B 1 that helps to make energy from the most important sugars . Therefore, vitamin B 1 is an important nutrient to prevent the accumulation of fatigue.
Relationship between stress and fatigue / pain
(Interviewer) When the
load builds up on your body due to overwork, fatigue appears.
For example, when mental stress puts a strain on the mind and body, the body tries to prepare for battle in order to deal with it. CRH (corticotropic free hormone) from the brain to the pituitary gland, ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) from the pituitary gland to the adrenal cortex, and the secretion of the hormone cortisol from the adrenal cortex are one of them. Cortisol promotes metabolism and works to generate energy, and while it works for anti-inflammatory, it is also called “stress hormone” and it also lowers immunity.
In addition, stress causes the secretion of adrenaline and noradrenaline. They can also constrict blood vessels and cause blood circulation problems. Blood circulation disorders can also be associated with pain such as stiff shoulders and back pain.
Originally, cortisol, adrenaline, and noradrenaline play important roles in the body, but the problem is that stress continues to cause excessive conditions. These can cause a variety of physical problems, so it is important to deal with stress early.
with Corona era-conscious fatigue coping method
The point is prevention and anti-fatigue component against fatigue
Please tell us the lifestyle habits that you should be aware of so that you do not accumulate fatigue.
Basically, it is important to prepare the autonomic nervous system in a regular life such as sleep, a balanced diet, and moderate exercise.
It is important to increase the activity of the sympathetic nervous system in order to be active, but if you keep working for too long, it is like whipping up a slope.
That is why it is necessary to rest comfortably = relax and restore the ability to climb the slope again. It’s a good idea to prepare your own relaxation method on a regular basis.
How about consciously supplementing the necessary nutrients?
It is necessary to take preventive measures against fatigue. In that respect, it is very important to have a balanced diet and to supplement the lack of nutrients. Dealing with stress from the inside and taking things that are useful for anti-fatigue are required in the with corona era.
Specifically, what should I do?
Polyphenols that work on the immune system, vitamins C, E, β-carotene that have antioxidant effects, reduced coenzyme Q10, cysteine, imidazole dipeptide, astaxanthin, etc. You also need B vitamins, α-lipoic acid, pantothenic acid, zinc, and iron to help you recover from fatigue. You should also be aware of the rare metal ions such as vanadium and selenium.
How about the tiredness that has appeared?
Research has also revealed an anti-fatigue component. For example, fursultiamine. It is an important derivative of vitamin B 1 in energy metabolism (TCA cycle) and is an improved version of vitamin B 1 . It is used only as an ingredient in medicine.
Vitamin B 1 tends to be deficient when trying to supplement it with food alone. It is known that there is a limit to the amount of vitamin B 1 that can be absorbed, even if it is taken in large quantities at one time. Fursultiamine, a vitamin B 1 derivative, is an improved version that is more easily absorbed by the body and produces “active vitamin B 1 ” in the body , helping to recover from fatigue.
Message from Dr. Watanabe to readers
How to deal with fatigue in the corona era
Finally, in the with Corona era, could you give us guidance on how to deal with fatigue well?
As mentioned above, stress causes fatigue, so it is important to simulate situations where you are likely to face stress in advance. For example, when you have to go to a dense group, when you get on a commuter train, imagine what you will do to reduce stress. I think this kind of thing is very important.
That will protect you.
Yes. And the other is the selection of information. In the with Corona era, collecting correct information is essential. A lot of information comes out, but unnecessarily misleading it can also lead to stress. You need to make a solid choice of people and media that you can trust.
By catching accurate information quickly, we want to take preventive measures against fatigue. | <urn:uuid:a4a2bfbb-8fff-460d-b8e0-a06ff5ffa5bd> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.xsupernova.com/with-the-tiredness-of-the-corona-era-how-should-i-go-out-with-you-mechanism-of-fatigue/buzzfeed/03/12/2021/news1/ | 2023-09-23T17:13:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.947605 | 1,933 |

On behalf of the Yawuru community, the Yawuru PBC and NBY we wish to pay our respects to the late Mrs Lawford-Wolf. Mrs Lawford Wolf, a Gooniyandi woman, was born at Christmas Creek Station in the Kimberley, and was a legendary performer. She was a strong Kimberley woman with ties throughout the region and across the globe and her vibrant personality, talent, commitment and joyful, boisterous laugh made her a cherished character who will be greatly missed by her local community and her many colleagues in the performance world.
Mrs Lawford-Wolf was a true performer and communicated the spirit of her roles to her audience, whether it was through her early dance work with the Aboriginal Islander Dance Theatre and Bangarra or her long acting career in films such as Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002), and Last Cab to Darwin (2015) and television shows The Circuit (2007 – 2010), 3 Acts of Murder (2009), Little J & Big Cuz (2017) and Mystery Road (2018 and 2019).
She is well known for her theatre work including her one-woman show Ningali (1994-1996) and Jandamarra (2008). Mrs Lawford-Wolf gave a solo performance in the reading of Windmill Baby in 2014, the winner of the 2003 Patrick White Playwright’s Award, which she co-wrote with David Milroy, and performed in The Long Forgotten Dream at Sydney Opera House last year. But for many Kimberley people, Mrs Lawford-Wolf will always be Rosie in the first performances of Bran Nue Dae; a role which has become iconic in Broome, the town in which she made her home.
While she was a respected national performer, Mrs Lawford-Wolf always maintained her strong ties to her family and community. She was well-loved at Broome Senior High School where she worked and was an inspiration to many young Indigenous performers.
Peter Yu, CEO of NBY said “The Yawuru community sends their deepest condolences to her family; her partner Joe and children Jaden, Rosie, Alexander, William, and Florence, and grandchildren Zavia and Mia. Knowing of this passing makes our liyan feel bad and we hope for a speedy return of her family to their Kimberley home so that our community can mourn with them.”

Top 3 Options for Outsourcing Admin Services
As the demand for administrative functions increases, the demand for outsourcing also increases as businesses look for service providers who offer affordable human resource management and payroll services. Businesses can take advantage of three options to outsource administrative functions, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
Hiring a freelancer involves employing an individual on a contract or project basis. To hire a freelancer, the employer needs to post the role on a freelance job site with a description of the work and required skills. He can select any of the freelancers who meet his job description and skills at an affordable price. Small-business owners usually prefer freelancers to complete a short-term or one-time job as it frees them up from having to pay a regular monthly salary, benefits and other costs. Employers don’t need to pay the freelancer when there is no work and pays only when the project gets completed satisfactorily.
One disadvantage of freelancing is hiring a freelancer who claims, but does not have, the skills required to complete the project. The lack of hiring checks is also responsible for this. To avoid this, the employer must interview more than one freelancer while asking for some references and proof of past projects.
Working from home (WFH) is becoming a popular trend, presenting advantages and disadvantages for both the employee and employer. For the home-based worker, this type of arrangement saves travel costs and time, allows for some flexibility in schedule and dress code, increases their productivity and focus, and reduces the stress of a commute or a busy workplace. For some, WFH even improves their general health and well-being. For the employer, this arrangement eliminates the cost of renting office space.
However, daily working from home can create a disconnect between the employee and the social environment of the office. Employees who work regularly from home may have difficulty focusing and separating work life from home life, and therefore reduce productivity.
Outsourcing refers to assigning part or the entire business function to a service provider on a contract basis. The client hands over the data and knowledge assets required to the provider, which then performs the tasks for as long as the contract is in effect.
Outsourcing is the best option if the work demands highly skilled workers service providers employ professional, reliable and dedicated workers. for the client, this process eliminates the cost of purchasing expensive software and hardware or machines, and helps companies focus on the core issues of the business. The outsourcing service provider also ensures they are fully aligned with the goals of the client.
One disadvantage is the risk to data protection. One way to avoid this is to stipulate strict regulations and penalties in the contract if the privacy is breached. it is also important to conduct due diligence on the service provider before choosing and signing the contract. | <urn:uuid:1c1b38e2-fece-4990-974a-1f0ae91a4311> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.yempo-solutions.com/admin-outsourcing/top-3-options-outsourcing-admin-services/ | 2023-09-23T17:27:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.952452 | 587 |
Over the last 25 years, while I was busy working, building a career, figuring out what I was good at, there were significant changes going on around me. I had no idea how relevant these incremental changes to how companies deal with challenges would be to me; my business is the end result. I was aware of them as an employee – they were either opportunities to be leveraged or threats to be avoided, and they were important.
What were those challenges that businesses were addressing? Reducing costs. Increasing profits. Retaining clients. Acquiring new clients. Staying ahead of the competition. Retaining high-performing staff. Staying agile and responsive to changing environmental factors.
In the ‘90s, telecommuting became popular. It may have been called teleworking, work from home, flexible working, but it arrived on the scene and offered great benefits to businesses. Two of the largest expense items for businesses tend to be real estate and human resources. Telecommuting offered a remedy to these issues, by enabling employees to work in their own homes, an attractive benefit to offer high performing staff. For the employee, working from home might mean reduced transportation costs, flexibility with child care arrangements, higher productivity, and a more relaxed working environment. For the employer, reduced office expenses and other administrative costs balanced out the cost of providing computers, internet lines and office fit-outs in an employee’s home. What was challenging for businesses, though, was the inability to physically see their employees. In the old-school management methods, telecommuting challenged the time clock mentality that linked performance and productivity to physical presence.
My own telecommuting experience started in the ‘90s too. My home office had been in place since the late ‘80s, with a dumb terminal and dial-up line for my university studies, so it was an easy transition to work-from-home two days a week while contracting to a large corporate. I loved the long hours of interruption-free work and in these pre-Skype days, working in my PJs and slippers.
The next change that appeared on my radar was outsourcing. Businesses started evaluating their workforces and considering which were the activities core to their business, and which weren’t. A publishing company might decide it really doesn’t need to own its IT function. Why not get a specialist IT company to run that for them? Outsourcing offered the same benefits as telecommuting and more – reducing real estate costs, delivering the work effort without necessarily having line-of-sight of the workforce. And with outsourcing, the pastoral care, payroll, leadership of the employees is also someone else’s responsibility.
In my time at AMP I worked closely with an outsource provider which supplied much of their IT support and deliverables. When I moved to Energy Australia, they were implementing a selective sourcing strategy; bringing key activities back in-house and my role was to insource one of these functions. At both AMP and Energy Australia, the relationship between the company and the service provider could be tense. The contracts were strict and tight and even the most trivial change required additional cost and a variation agreement.
In 2006 when I took up a position at Macquarie Bank, I found they outsourced very little. Its success was based on agility and flexibility and few vendors could accommodate its rapidly changing strategies. However, we wanted access to the benefits that the outsource companies offered – such as lower cost offshore resources, without giving up the employer-employee relationship. So, our decision was to offshore selected functions, the trigger for me embarking on my life-changing Philippines adventure. More than six years later, I put away my corporate briefcase and started my own business, and in the process, realised it was the culmination of this 25-year evolution of strategic resourcing models.
Corporations tested and trialled telecommuting, outsourcing, and offshoring. They made mistakes and found solutions and reaped the benefits. The missing participant in this evolution was the smaller business, which didn’t have the scale or budget to vary the way that they resourced their functions. Having not been on the journey, it was also difficult for small business owners to get their head around losing the “line of sight” of their employees. Fortunately, just as workforce solutions have evolved, so has technology, alleviating some of this concern.
In the last 5 years, a new category of outsourcer has emerged, and my business is one of them. We enable small businesses to access the benefits of both outsourcing and offshoring that were previously only available to companies that could commit to a certain spend. Yempo’s founders have been involved in every aspect of the workforce evolution, learning what works and what doesn’t, and how to apply it to the smaller enterprise.
With just one offshore employee, Sydney-based consulting firm “Learning Quest”, is delighted with their Research Assistant working from my office in Cebu. Managing Director Connie Henson engages with him as if he were sitting in the office next door, and she oversees his priorities and work efforts. I am her “eyes and ears” and provide a professional office environment complete with new infrastructure and equipment. Other companies start with one employee, gauge its success, then increase to two, then another. One of our Melbourne-based clients started with just one employee and 18 months later their 13th has just been hired.
I can see in hindsight how this new career of mine evolved. With the evolution of workplace practices in large companies, it’s a delight to be able to share the benefits of my experience with business of all sizes and from a range of industries.
