The leader of the Pheu Thai Party says demands that the party leave the newly-formed coalition will be considered and the appropriate decision made once all factors are taken into account. Cholnan Srikaew was speaking in response to a letter submitted to the party’s headquarters in the Huai Khwang district of Bangkok at 2.00pm yesterday, May 28.
Nation Thailand reports that the letter was submitted by a group of Pheu Thai supporters, who insist they are not trying to disrupt the coalition but want to make the following 5 demands:
• That Pheu Thai considers leaving the coalition
• That the parties that won the most votes in the May 14 general election be allowed to form the government
• That PM candidates from the parties that won the most votes are voted for
• That the process to prepare a constitution for the people be supported
• If the parties that got the most votes in the election cannot get the most votes in the House of Representatives, Pheu Thai should consider forming the government and getting to work on the promises made to the people
Cholnan has acknowledged the demands, but says the party is not obliged to grant them. He says the party will take all factors into consideration before making any decisions.
“We must have answers for supporters. The democratic government could have conflicts on certain ideas that must be resolved together to achieve the larger goal.”
Last week, the Move Forward Party signed an MOU with 7 other parties ahead of forming Thailand’s new government. The other coalition members are the Pheu Thai Party, Thai Sang Thai Party, Prachachart Party, Seree Ruam Thai Party, Pheu Thai Ruam Palang Party, Fair Party, and the Plung Sungkom Mai Party.
All coalition members are expected to meet tomorrow to discuss the allocation of ministerial roles among the parties.

Flash audit: 'Serious concerns' about personnel computer fix
The agency that failed to secure data on millions of federal workers is now being criticized by its own independent watchdog over a plan to modernize its aging computer networks.
In a "flash audit," issued Wednesday, the inspector general for the Office of Personnel Management raised "serious concerns" about a proposed $91 million computer overhaul, saying it had not followed management guidelines and granted a no-bid contract with a single vendor.
Office spokesman Samuel Schumach said he was looking into the matter and did not have an immediate response.
Office director Katherine Archuleta_a former school teacher who worked on President Barack Obama's 2012 re-election campaign— told Congress this week that her agency's computer systems were so old they needed an immediate modernization. The antiquated computer architecture, she asserted, was one reason hackers were able to infiltrate the system and make off with sensitive data on millions of federal workers and security clearance holders.
Inspector General Patrick McFarland said in a report circulated to Congress that he agreed in principle with the idea, but he noted that agency leaders launched the project with crucial questions unanswered, including how much it would cost. He questioned the $91 million estimate by the agency.
"We have serious concerns regarding OPM's management of this project," McFarland wrote in the audit, obtained Thursday by The Associated Press. "The project is already underway and the agency has committed substantial funding, but it has not yet addressed several critical project-management requirements."
He said there was "a high risk that this project will fail to meet the objectives of providing a secure operating environment for OPM systems and applications."
McFarland's office had warned for years that OPM's computer network security was woefully lacking, and his deputy, Michael Esser, told a House oversight committee Tuesday that those failures contributed to the cyberbreach.
Now, the inspector general is saying, the proposed solution could also be a disaster.
"In our opinion, the project management approach for this major infrastructure overhaul is entirely inadequate and introduces a very high risk of project failure," McFarland wrote.
Many critical agency applications run on OPM's aging mainframe computers, he wrote, including those that process payments for federal retirees, reimburse health insurance companies for claims and manage background investigations.
"These applications are based on legacy technology and will need to be completely renovated to be compatible with OPM's proposed new IT architecture." A much smaller migration of a single system cost $30 million and took two years to complete, he wrote.
OPM estimates that its proposed overhaul will take 18 to 24 months to complete, he wrote. "We believe this is overly optimistic and that the agency is highly unlikely to meet this target."
McFarland wrote that OPM officials "informed us that the urgent and compelling nature of the situation required immediate action, and this is the reason that some of the required project management activities were not completed."
He agrees that urgent action was needed, he wrote, but that was not a justification for cutting corners over the life of the project.
"The other phases of the project are clearly going to require long-term effort, and, to be successful, will require the disciplined processes associated with proper system development project management," he wrote.

NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series regular driver Carson Hocevar will drive the Legacy Motor Club’s #42 Chevrolet in the NASCAR Cup Series race this weekend at Darlington Raceway.
This will mark Hocevar’s second career NASCAR Cup Series appearance. He made his debut in the series earlier this season at the World Wide Technology Raceway for Spire Motorsports, but ultimately a brake failure ended his day after 91 laps.
However, the 20-year-old Michigan-native has a lot of talent, which he has shown in NASCAR’s third tier series this season. He is excited for the opportunity to return in the Cup Series and looking forward to working with the #42 LMC team.
In a statement released by the team, Hocevar said:
“This is a great opportunity to get some seat time in the Cup Series and help out the team at Legacy MC. I had the chance earlier this year to race at St. Louis in the Cup Series. I’m looking forward to working with Luke (Lambert, crew chief) and the No. 42 team, and if anyone knows how to get around Darlington, Erik Jones does, so it will be great to have him as a teammate.”
Carson Hocevar has already secured three Truck Series wins this season and is in a strong position to win Truck Series title this season. He currently sits fourth in the championship standings with 2112 points after finishing fourth and second in the first two playoff races.
“Carson is a very talented driver and has a bright future” – Legacy Motor Club CEO on Carson Hocevar
The Portage, Michigan-native was initially slated to drive the #77 Chevrolet for Spire Motorsports in Saturday’s Xfinity Series at Darlington Raceway.
LMC, who have been filling their season with a driver rotation since their original full-time driver of the #42, Noah Gragson was indefinitely suspended by NASCAR, thanked Spire Motorsports and Niece Motorsports for allowing them to use Hocevar’s service for this weekend.
In a statement, Cal Wells III, LMC’s CEO, said:
“Carson is a very talented driver and has a bright future. We are thankful to Chevrolet, Spire Motorsports and Niece Motorsports for making this happen and look forward to seeing what he can do in the No. 42 this weekend.”
Catch Carson Hocevar in action at the Darlington Raceway for the Cook Out Southern 500 on Sunday, September 3. The event will air live on USA Network at 6 pm ET. | <urn:uuid:49fc10bb-b97c-4ac9-987d-384bcc98d4b4> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://pickdreamteam.com/carson-hocevar-set-to-drive-legacy-motor-clubs-number-42-car-in-darlington/ | 2023-09-26T05:16:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.962637 | 552 |
We have written and spoken quite a bit the last couple of years about the use of medications while flying. We certainly have an abundance of medications, both prescription and over the counter (OTC), available to us, and as a result, tend to take advantage of the opportunity to treat our aches and pains, especially by “self-medicating” with OTCs.
We also need to consider the potential impact of medication therapy while flying, as the environment does change once we leave the ground and assume even relatively modest general aviation altitudes. During this time of year, the cough and cold remedies are in high demand. These medications successfully treat the symptoms of itchy eyes and noses, nasal congestion, or sneezing and runny nose. The ingredients, though, such as chlorpheniramine and diphenhydramine, can also produce side effects such as sedation and blurred vision. These side effects can be subtle, too, in some people; and that climb from the airport up to altitude can also result in a minute changes in the blood chemistry and concentration of the active ingredients, and the side effects can become more pronounced.
The federal aviation regulations are vague on the use of medications. FAR 91.17(a)(3) reminds us that we are not to exercise our privileges as pilot in command or as a required flight crewmember while using any drug that “affects the person’s faculties in any way contrary to safety.” Additionally, the FAA does not make available to the public a database of allowed medications. There are good reasons from the FAA’s perspective for that, but AOPA feels that a pilot who has specific guidance about the possible implications of the meds he or she is taking, as well as knowledge about the underlying condition that requires the medication, makes that pilot safer, and that’s everyone’s goal.
AOPA has for many years provided members with a database of medications that contains hundreds of prescription and nonprescription medications, and their status with the FAA. This is a dynamic issue, though, and the FAA periodically changes the status of a medication based on a number of variables. All in all, though, a large number of medications are allowed for use by pilots, albeit with some restrictions. | <urn:uuid:df09b056-47e1-41cd-828e-e76beef47e45> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://pilot-protection-services.aopa.org/news/2014/march/03/the-medication-dilemma | 2023-09-26T05:11:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.957843 | 467 |
QUESTION: Does implanting a pacemaker require any additional medical clearance to obtain a private pilot's license or to continue with student flying lessons?
ANSWER: Implantation of a cardiac pacemaker is one of the mandatory disqualifying conditions that requires a Special Issuance Authorization. There are about 300 or so pilots flying with a special issuance for a pacemaker. There are some hoops to jump through, however, as with any special issuance. Normally, a treadmill stress test, 24 hour ambulatory Holter monitor, an echocardiogram, and current pacemaker performance testing are the basics the FAA will need to see. You can find out more by reviewing our online information on pacemakers. Good luck!
QUESTION: I have started to develop cataracts and I am concerned about my flying and my medical certificate. At some time, I'll probably need surgery to keep my eye sight. How does the FAA approach this problem?
ANSWER: This is fairly straightforward and simple as far as medical certification challenges are concerned. At the time of your next scheduled FAA flight physical after your cataract and lens implant, have your eye care doctor complete an FAA Eye Evaluation Form 8500-7 and take that completed form to your AME. If you meet the vision standards and are otherwise qualified, the AME can issue your medical to you at the time of the examination.
QUESTION: About seven years ago my wife finally got tired of my snoring so I went for a sleep evaluation. The results showed that I was borderline apneic so I opted for the CPAP machine since Medic Care supplied me with one. Then I found out that to keep my third class medical I had to get a yearly exam from my CPAP doctor and a yearly checkup from my FME. Since then I have been flying as a Sport Pilot in my small experimental plane. Up to now I have not read anything about CPAP regulation in the new proposed medical requiring just a driver’s license. Can you update me on this?
ANSWER: Obstructive Sleep Apnea is a high profile medical condition right now because of the constellation of medical problems that can result from remaining untreated. Under the current proposed legislative language, sleep apnea is not a condition that would require a one-time special issuance, and pilots would be able to continue to self-assess and exercise privileges without any FAA oversight. However, if you are on CPAP now and well-controlled, why wait for congress? You can qualify for a special issuance now and fly a normal category airplane under a 3rd Class Special Issuance. The FAA will need to see the original sleep evaluation and the results of at least 60 days of compliance data from your CPAP machine showing you are using the machine 75% of nights and averaging about six hours sleep per night. An AME could even issue your medical certificate in the office provided you have all the necessary documentation when you see the medical examiner.
QUESTION: I had a cardioversion, then a stint, then an ablation, then a clear stress tests (passed), then a pacemaker, over the last two years. 6 months of clean follow-up from my cardiologist. Can I still get a 3rd class medical?
ANSWER: The short answer is “yes,” you can get a medical under a Special Issuance. You will need your treatment records, a current cardiac evaluation that includes a treadmill stress test, 24 hour Holter monitor, an echocardiogram, and reports of pacemaker monitoring to show that the settings are correct and you are pacing properly.

Delicious ice cream is all you need in the summer, plus when it’s homemade and a healthy one it means it will be extremely beneficial for your body. For example, this 3 ingredient ice cream recipe takes just 5 minutes to prepare and is one of the healthiest and creamiest ever.
In fact, not every ice cream needs to be filled with sugar and high-calorie amount. Therefore, with this healthy recipe you can have one spoon after another, and so on.
Here’s how to make a healthy ice cream from three ingredients:
- ½ cup of coconut milk
- 1 & ½ cups of fruit or vegetable juice
- 5 tbsps of corn starch or tapioca starch
At first, take 1/2 of the coconut milk and stir it with the starch, mix thoroughly until it becomes nice and smooth. Then, leave it aside and heat up the remaining milk in a small saucepan on low heat until it begins to bubble.
Now, take the previously prepared mixture and pour it into the warm coconut milk and leave it to bubble a bit. Continue stirring until the mixture becomes thicker then, take it out of the pan and add it to a heatproof bowl.
Lastly, add the vegetable juice of your choice. Also, you can add chopped fruits like cherry, strawberry, and banana, if you have fun experimenting. Chill the mixture and your healthy and delicious ice cream is ready in no time.
Coconut provides positive health benefits since it’s full of antioxidants with lots of healthy nutrients. Additionally, coconut milk promotes the production of ketones, which provide alternative energy supplies for the brain. Thus, makes people get a burst of energy and feel good momentarily, without raising their blood sugar levels.
On top of that, you can also get high doses of other health benefits just by adding fruits that are rich in vitamins and minerals, yet low in calories. | <urn:uuid:384144c6-3a4a-46fc-855a-78c91a966129> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://pintiks.com/healthy-ice-cream-from-three-ingredients-prepared-in-5-minutes/ | 2023-09-26T05:53:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.927465 | 406 |
Here we use the PipeBio for sequence analysis of affibodies – non-antibody scaffolds from ERR3474167.fastq downloaded from the European Nucleotide Archive. These non-antibody scaffolds can make great therapeutics due to their small size although there can be tradeoffs.
Biologic drugs are increasingly becoming important as therapeutics for treatment of various diseases, including cancer, infectious and inflammatory diseases. Classical antibody scaffolds and structures are being challenged by smaller but equally potent molecules named "non-antibody scaffolds" which have a number of benefits over the large bulky IgG molecule. Non-antibody scaffolds are interesting as therapeutic drugs thus the rich interest in these scaffolds (Frejd, F. et al). Many different and interesting scaffolds exist but here we only focus on a few of these.
Traditionally, there has been very little interest in developing general software tools to cope with these non-antibody scaffolds and companies and academic research groups have often analyzed data by hand or used internally developed software. Analysis of high throughput (NGS) sequencing data of these scaffolds has been a very challenging task.
Pipe | bio offers a very easy to use cloud based sequence repository and bioinformatics platform which can easily be configured to fit various annotation requirements for both antibodies and non-antibody scaffolds.
In this application note we have primarily focused on analysis of affibodies but the platform can very easily be configured to other scaffolds such as knottins, bicyclic peptides, DARPins etc.
Data and configuration
We have used the first 2 million affibody sequences from ERR3474167.fastq downloaded from the European Nucleotide Archive. Bioproject https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/browser/view/PRJEB33942 which have been sequenced on the Illumina MiSeq platform.
Before running the annotation pipeline, there is a one-time configuration of the required scaffold. A scaffold can be IgG, ScFV, nanobody, non-antibody scaffolds etc. and below we show a simplified example of an affibody scaffold. As part of the scaffold configuration it is also possible to specify any liabilities, disallowed frameshifts, stop codons, etc. and how this should be reported in a tabular output.
Multiple scaffolds can be configured allowing for different configurations.
The PipeBio platform has a large toolbox for analyzing data and the use of those may be dependent on the biological application. Here we show a simple workflow where we have imported sequence data, annotated interesting regions, plotted different charts and clustered on the region of interest.
The initial output of the annotation pipeline is a result document which shows tabular information on the results aligned with the sequences represented in a graphical view. This enables the user to easily filter and visually inspect the data in great detail. The annotation results are accompanied with a graphs showing breakdown of identified liabilities and overall summary statistics.
For visual inspection and support of your analyses it is possible to plot various charts. All charts and analyses can be performed per annotated region or the full sequence. All chats are interactive and by clicking different regions of the chart will apply a relevant filter to the result table of both tabular and sequence data. For example, for synthetic scaffolds and affinity maturation it is very valuable to be able to click interesting codons in a codon usage plot or by clicking a certain sequence length in a length distribution chart.
A number of different charts are support and others can be added on request
- Codon usage
- Length distribution
- Sequence logo
- Amino acid heatmap
- And more
It is very easy to see from the barchart that there is a high variability in position 10, 18, 28, 35 in the sample. Below is an example of codon usage which can be used for library QC. The chart is interactive and will retrieve the selected sequences when a chart component is clicked.
Reducing data complexity by clustering is a great way to get a condensed overview of the data and reduce data redundancy.
On PipeBio, the user is able to “slice and dice” and have different views on clustered data. In the following screenshots we only look at the overview of the clusters, but it is also possible to expand the content and look into more details of the individual sub-clusters.
From the 2 million annotated sequence and using 85% identity clustering, we find 4651 clusters in total. The largest cluster has 328,492 sequences comprising 108,498 unique sequences. There is at most 255 identical sequences in that cluster indicating a very high diversity.
Cherry pick alternative-scaffolds to the cart
Use the sequence cart to cherry pick interesting sequences and clones and store them for later use or download them directly.
Customize your Sequence Store for alternative-antibody scaffolds
After cherry picking it may be interesting to query to the Sequence Store which is a repository of all the sequences you have analyzed before. That way you can very quickly identify if you have analyzed identical sequences before and in which documents they are found.
This can also be used, as example, to store patent sequences and other data from public sources. Then it is very easy and quick to look up if the sequences you are currently analyzing has already been found in the public domain.
A rich integrated Bioinformatics suite for Antibody and Antibody-like drug discovery
There is a lot which is not described here and more is being added all the time.
- API for integration with other systems
- Merge paired-end NGS data
- Screen immune repertoires to extract variants having potential in-vitro maturation sites and residues
- Compare multiple samples, eg. enrichment, panning or to improve potency
- Subtract one sample from another
- Labeling of sequences
- And a lot more

Wow! What a great year 2017 has been! And how fast it went!
Do you feel the same after you turn a page and you start a new year? I always feel the same way. And every year I tell myself the things I will try to accomplish and of course half of them won’t happen. But I don’t complain, I still get a lot done, and I am the happiest mom as I have healthy kids and all that matters, right?
My sweet friend, Cami from Tidbits invited me to participate in a fun blog hop so I joined forces with some other fabulous bloggers to reflect back to the past year and show off our TOP 10 posts.
Here we go!
Let’s start with the most popular post!
Not surprised at all! The OH so popular Arm Knit blanket! Guys! I never thought it would be such a favorite post. It went viral on Pinterest a few days after I posted the tutorial. I loved arm knitting this blanket, so I decided to give another try with a different material later last year (in December). Arm knitting is so fun so if you have not tried it yet be sure to give it a go in 2018!
I started playing with macrame back in March when a sad family event happened in my life, and it indeed helped me to get through the days. Macrame is an enjoyable, fascinating art. I could not be more addicted to it. I loved creating macrame so much that I started selling my plant hangers and wall hangings in my Etsy in 2017. If you want to start a new hobby, this has got to be it!
This has got to be the best of out DIY just yet! Kidding you not! It was a massive project, but it was worth all the hard work as we created an outdoor paradise and we truly loved spending time out there during the summer and fall months. One of my favorite spaces we have created!
I have done a few bathroom updates so far, and this made it to the TOP 10 last year. It was a low key makeover on the budget, but we could not love it more! Check it out for inspiration!
I love me some pillows around the house! Way too many pillows haha! I shared the tutorial on how to make one zippered one, and it was a hit since it made it to the top 10 posts.
The most practical project we have ever done!!! Hands down! And it is an understatement if I say that this is everyone’s most favorite spot in the house!
What a fun project this was! Loved making this giant wall for my son’s room. I am making another one for my older son’s room makeover this year. Hopefully around the summer months or sooner! It’s easy, practical and looks super fun! Make it yours!
It’s funny as people always ask me if there is anything I can not do? Oh yes! I am terrible at the organizing field! I mean, TERRIBLE! So when I happened to organize anything around here, I proudly post about it. This is how this post came to live. I desperately needed to purge my closet (which is by the way overdue again), and I just shared how I did it. You guys seemed to love the tips! Check it out!
A lovely home tour! I loved this look! I want all of it back haha! Ghaw, why do I always change things around? The room looks different now and now looking back at this pretty scene I am not even crazy about our current look. (Check on Insta to keep my interior changes up to date :-))
The original version of this funky shelf was always in the top posts since I wrote a tutorial on it in 2015. Then as I learned into macrame this past year, I came up with the macrame hanger version fit and posted about it. It’s one of my favorite projects, and now it’s available in my store as well.
Well! I think it’s safe to say that we had a very productive year and we have got a lot done and behind. I love that this little wee blog of mine brings the most amazing opportunities and that you keep reading along it’s fascinating! Keep coming back to check the latest and greatest this year and be sure to check out some pretty fantastic TOP 10 posts by my TOP NOTCH FRIENDS!
ENJOY THE TOUR! | <urn:uuid:26d27290-729a-453f-b742-c88e9a8dcc7b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://placeofmytaste.com/top-10-posts-2017/ | 2023-09-26T05:38:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.962221 | 932 |
I have been trying to get this idea out of my head and into words for months and now I have a place to begin. Looking out into the winter landscape clarity came over me. I have learned over the years how many people need a visual, a picture or drawing, of what an architect or designer is suggesting. The notion that someone will entrust an artist to create something beautiful for them, that will meet their expectations, their life, becomes a leap of faith. There it is. Faith in the unknown. The following link will bring you to another gardeners idea of perfection in nature. Don’t forget to return.
A garden or landscape can be planned. That same plan can be implemented. What are the expectations after everyone leaves and the owner is left with this new dream, new escape, new paradise. This living, breathing, evolving artistic creation pieced together out of plant, stone and soil. There it is, hovering over my head (LIGHTBULB). The reality of all my reading, writing and experience has me looking out into the winter landscape and wondering, how many people have spent their money on something they can’t afford to maintain and manage. Not to sound negative but many people know what I am talking about.
I have two perspectives. Let me introduce them.
The first perspective centers around those individuals who have already spent the money and are now beginning to understand the time, effort and expense of what they have installed and paid for. The second perspective focuses on those people who are planing and getting ready to change their whole life by surrounding themselves with things in need of care (landscapes and gardens). Don’t get me wrong, I am so happy that there are so many who have chosen to fill their lives with trees and plant. My concern lies in the aftermath; the challenge of maintaining the value of that natural art. I have mentioned it in previous articles and I will mention it again (until everyone understands it), the true value of any landscape is how it continually enriches our lives.
My newest vision for everyone is the marriage of the garden and the pathway. Most people have seen it and even walked through it. Most people who own a home want it yet they do not know how to begin. They stumble and fall when at the local nurseries, finding plants that may or may not develop as they need and in the process waste both time (growing time) and money (hard earned). So how am I to guide everyone through this maze of plant diversity and design confusion. The easiest way to resolve this problem is for everyone to hire me to help them clear the path to their ultimate garden. Since this in not necessarily economically feasible for many people, I have come up with an introductory plan for individuals to begin the process.
1st step: Look at the amount of space you have to work with. This aspect determines many of your initial options in terms of scale.
2nd step: Determine what the most important starting point is when you look out the front door of your home. You could also gain perspective by viewing the property from the furthest point and looking inward, property line.
3rd step: Once you know where to begin (starting point) you have the ability to see an end. NOTE – it is important to be realistic, but with time, anything can be accomplished.
4th step: No predispositions allowed. Everything can and will get done.
5th step: Determine if you want it (your walkway) straight, curved or a combination of the two forms and how wide you would like to make the pathway. The wider a pathway can be, the easier it is to travel. Wider walkways welcome more people and create a greater number of planting options. No matter what you decide the possibilities are still overwhelming, yet exciting.
6th step: Remember, no matter how you begin or end, a pathway is all about creating perspective, mystery, wonder and the idea of movement that takes you somewhere wonderful.
WHERE DO YOU WANT YOUR PATHWAY TO LEAD YOU. KNOW THIS AND YOU ARE HOME.
Plant material, mulch and stones all have their place on and along your pathway. Once the first few steps are considered, the remaining journey is simpler. Never easy but easier.
Look through your own personal looking glass and imagine what you want and what could be. I would love the opportunity to guide anyone who has the time and money to engage me in their project.
Good luck envisioning your wonderland. Call me or someone you trust if you want help making your dreams come true. | <urn:uuid:db139511-159c-45c9-a4c6-d3fb98607836> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://plantwithme.com/gardens-getting-started/gardens-in-the-round-surrounded-by-life/ | 2023-09-26T06:02:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.959428 | 945 |
The Oklahoma head coach, Brent Venables’s wife, is Julie Venables. The two have been married for a long time and recently celebrated a marriage milestone, a silver anniversary.
Julie and Brent are proud parents to four kids- two sons (Jake & Tyler) and two daughters (Laney & Addie).
Brent Venable is an American football coach serving as the head coach at the University of Oklahoma since the 2022 season.
From 1989 to 1992, he tried his luck as a Linebacker for Garden City CC & Kansas State. But eventually, he decided to give it a go at coaching.
Venables began his coaching career 1993 at Kansas State as a graduate assistant & was promoted to linebackers coach in 1996.
The 52-year-old served as a co-defensive coordinator & linebackers coach at Oklahoma from 1999-2003 and an associate head coach, defensive coordinator, and linebackers coach from 2004-11.
Since 2000, 57 players under his guidance have been selected in the NFL Draft.
As a mark of his dedication to the Sooners, he was named the 23rd head coach on December 5, 2021, on a lucrative six-year, $43.5 million contract, earning an average salary of $7.25 million annually.
Brent Venables Wife Julie Venables: Married Life And Kids
Julie Fisher Venables is the wife of the head coach of the Sooners.
Julie Fisher grew up in Kansas. Her father, Carl Fisher, was a Vietnam-era Green Beret who owned a trucking company; her mother, Vicki Fisher, was a bank’s vice president.
Similarly, Julie also went to Kansas State University, where she met her then-future-husband, Brent, in 1991 & began dating in 1993.
Eventually, the two got serious in 1995 and tied the knot two years later in 1997.
Julie is a nurse by profession. She received her nursing degree from Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas.
Together, Brent and Julie have four children. They have two sons, Jake and Tyler, and two daughters, Laney and Addie.
Their sons Jake and Tyler played football at Clemson.
Jake And Tyler Venables
The eldest, Jake, was born on January 18, 2000. He played collegiate football for Clemson as a linebacker. Before Clemson, he went to Daniel High School, where he played basketball as a junior.
Today, the three-time ACC Honor Roll Inductee (2019-21), Jake follows in his father’s footsteps.
After completing his master’s degree in athletic leadership in May 2023, he is now a Strength and Conditioning Coach at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
Tyler Venables isn’t any less than his brother. Born on February 22, 2002, he played for Jeff Fruster at Daniel High School. Brent Venables, Tyler’s father, and Mickey Conn recruited him to Clemson.
Additionally, Tyler is currently majoring in political science. He also completed a micro internship with LyonJay in Greenville in Spring 2022.
Tyler also has an online-supplement brand known as Thorne.
Julie Venables: A Cancer Patient
The Venables family was reduced to tears after discovering that Julie, a wife and a loving mother to the Venables, was diagnosed with breast cancer.
The news broke out to the public after head coach Brent wasn’t in attendance during the annual event of Citizen’s Advisory Board Coaches.
Toby Rowland, the event’s emcee, announced with a heavy heart that the “second-year head coach will be in New Orleans over the weekend.
A little over five weeks ago, Brent’s wife, Julie, was diagnosed with breast cancer.”
He added, “We wished they could be here, but we certainly understand why they’re not,” Rowland said to the crowd at Life Church.
And I know you’ll join us in casting some extra prayers tonight and tomorrow morning, especially for Julie and the Venables family.”
The surgery took place on 28, July 2023, Friday in New Orleans. Despite this, no new reporting of Julie’s health condition has been reported.
However, remaining optimistic during these challenging times, the football world anticipates good news. The thoughts and prayers go out to the Venables family. | <urn:uuid:5e99b715-9fe1-4467-9d5c-e45fa5b2871e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://playersbio.com/brent-venables-wife-julie-venables-married-life-and-kids/ | 2023-09-26T07:03:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.977993 | 921 |
The German professional tennis player Tatjana Maria is blessed to have parents who inspired her to have a tennis career. Her parents introduced her to the game when she was just four.
Born and raised in Bad Saulgau, Germany, Tatjana learned tennis tricks and skills from her dad. He was a professional handball player, and in addition, he was pretty good at tennis.
Even though she turned professional in 2001, Maria remained trophyless for nearly two decades.
She entered the top 50 in the world rankings in 2017 but felt much pressure as she had not won any competitions.
However, it all changed when she won her first WTA tour title in Mallorca, Spain, by defeating the Latvian athlete Anastasija Sevastova in 2018.
Maria won her second title in 2022 at the Copa Colsanitas by winning two sets out of three against the Brazilian Laura Pigossi in the finals. She defended her title, defeating Peyton Stearns in 2023.
Likewise, the year 2022 proved to be the most memorable one in her life. Aside from winning her second trophy, she reached the Wimbledon semifinals for the first time, being the sixth German woman to achieve that feat.
Despite losing the semis against world no. 2 Ons Jabeur, she won the WTA Comeback Player of the Year in 2022.
Tatjana Maria’s Parents Are Her Inspiration
Tatjana Maria was born on August 8, 1987, to her parents, Heinrich and Margit Malek, in Bad Saulgau, Germany, and grew up with two brothers.
The daughter of avid tennis fans, her parents introduced her to tennis when she was still a toddler.
Her father, Heinrich, was originally from Zabrze, the southern part of Poland. As a youth, he played in international handball tournaments representing Poland.
In addition, Heinrich was her first coach, and she got all the support she needed to carry on with her tennis aspirations from her parents.
Unfortunately, Tatjana Maria’s father is no more, as he reportedly died in 2008.
Talking about Tatjana’s mother, Margit attended Ursulinen Graz and studied at PH Weingarten.
According to her Linkedin profile, she previously worked as a Lecturer at Albstadt Seminary and teacher at Berta Hummel School.
In addition, she is the managing director at Verband Bildung und Erziehung (VBE).
Brothers Daniel And Matthias
As stated above, Maria has two brothers- Daniel and Matthias Malek.
Her brothers are involved in digital advertising and have a company named Danlin Media GmbH, probably named after Daniel and Aylin. Aylin Malek is Daniel’s wife, and they have two kids, Eleysa and Zendaya.
He founded the company with his wife, brother, and friends around 2014.
While Daniel is the company’s managing director, Matthias and Aylin are senior account managers. According to their social media profile, their agency specializes in web and motion designing.
Tatjana Is Married To Her Coach Charles Maria
Tatjana Malek married her tennis coach Charles-Edouard Maria on April 8, 2013. Before being her head coach, Charles was formerly a tennis player.
Born on May 18, 1974, in France, Charles became more successful as a coach to his wife than a professional player.
Although he played tennis for quite some time, he never reached the top 100 ATP rankings.
Speaking of their married life, Tatjana and Charles are parents of two kids. Their first daughter, Charlotte, was born on December 20, 2013.
Similarly, they welcomed their second daughter on April 2, 2021. Her name is Cecilia Maria. | <urn:uuid:564374d0-11dd-43a9-8e7d-220d72621969> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://playersbio.com/tatjana-maria-parents-heinrich-margit-brother/ | 2023-09-26T06:37:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.981013 | 804 |
Initially, Nevada was the one state to permit authorized gambling. In particular, personal visits to offshore gambling venues might be each time consuming and entice the eye of legislation enforcement; proxy Online Gambling has grown in recognition, particularly for VIP shoppers wishing to place excessive stakes bets discretely. You must put a categorized advert within the newspaper, await a name and haggle on a value whenever you wish to promote inventory. Traders can watch, for instance, how an inventory worth reacts to information from the corporate, media stories, nationwide financial information, and plenty of different components. If these earnings are lackluster, shareholders may promote a few of their inventory, which might decrease the inventory value. There are dozens of theories.
Miss Manners would not have a lot to say about Online Gambling particularly, so listed below are some tricks to observe to keep away from stepping on any toes as you make your approach by the Online Gambling corridor. That is what occurs when a lot of cash is concerned. Casinos earn cash because each sport they provide has an inbuilt statistical benefit for the online casino. Online casinos, also referred to as digital casinos or Web casinos, are online variations of conventional brick-and-mortar casinos. Longtime gamers with a variety of time invested in their pets are understandably terrified of this punishment, particularly since freezes often appear to occur arbitrarily or as a result of the person violating site guidelines inadvertently. Do not forget that if you’re married and filing jointly, you might want to convey your partner to the tax preparer’s workplace, too; as a result, she or he might want to signal the tax return earlier than mailing it off to the IRS.
For instance, all publicly traded corporations must be subject to quarterly earnings reviews via the สล็อตpg วอเลท Securities and Trade Fee SEC. You do not have to journey to New York to the New York Inventory Alternate. With a change in place, you should purchase and promote shares immediately. You may name an inventory broker who does enterprise with the NYSE, or you should purchase and promote stocks online for a small price. Give yourself time to study who you are inviting and to buy and negotiate with completely different cruise strains for the very best offers. Reunions are perhaps the one time some family members see one another. The authorized technique of turning an enterprise into a company is known as incorporation.

January 24, 2019 — Python, as one of the top 10 programming languages in the world, is the most popular programming language that treats indentation as significant. In these offside languages, programmers indent their code blocks instead of using braces, brackets, or other visible characters.
I was curious about how common these languages were so I did some brief analysis to answer these questions:
These languages use indentation:
abc, aldor, boo, buddyscript, cobra, coffeescript, csl, curry, elixir, f-sharp, genie, haml, haskell, inform, iswim, literate-coffeescript, livescript, madcap, madcap-vi, makefile, markdown, miranda, nemerle, net-format, nim, occam, org, promal, python, restructuredtext, sass, scss, spin, stylus, xl-programming-language and yaml.
According to my present database, languages that strip indentation are about 70x more common than languages that employ it.
My methods and models are not yet perfect and may have missed some indentation languages. If my models missed ~80% of the languages, that would still be a 10x difference between the two classes of languages. If you know of a missing language, please open an issue or send a pull request.
While there have been some notable new languages using significant indentation in the 2000's, some of the biggest new languages don't, including Go, Swift, Rust, TypeScript, Julia and Kotlin.
Takeaway: According to my current data, there has not been a significant increase in new languages using significant indentation.
I would like to expand upon this to help language designers answer the question: will adding significant indentation increase the odds of my language becoming successful? I will continue to invest in my data collection and mining efforts to ensure I am not missing accurate information about the lesser documented languages.
UPDATE: masonic on HackerNews pointed out that COBOL should be included on this list. The column position of tokens is indeed significant in COBOL (and FORTRAN too), so perhaps in the next update I'll clarify this categorization to adhere more closely to the offside rule, or will include a broader definition of significant indentation that includes some of these additional languages | <urn:uuid:891423fa-1cf9-430c-bacd-f2a9d6d433e5> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://pldb.pub/posts/which-programming-languages-use-indentation.html | 2023-09-26T06:07:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.914329 | 497 |
Are You Happy with Your Business’s Cyber Security Plan?
December 27, 2020
If we could turn the calendar back a few decades then cyber security consulting is one of those careers that would have not had much traction yet. Just as today’s career advisers predict that today’s new graduates need to be prepared for jobs that do not even exist yet, cyber security consulting and managed IT services providers were those still undeveloped careers few decades ago. As the nation and world, however, move toward an increasingly digital existence, there are many security needs of tomorrow that are just now being defined today.
Like any crime in the no digital world, the criminals are working to outsmart the authorities. Just as a cyber security consulting services are providing their clients with the latest technologies to protect our online Dara, there are a new set of hackers and bots preparing to break through those firewalls and challenge the latest systems. From counterfeiting money to breaking into houses, criminals have also had it as their goal to be one step ahead of the protections that many property owners have in place. In the same way, digital thieves continue to work through ways that can get them access to data that is their target.
Cyber Security Consulting Services and Managed IT Security Services Providers Continue to Protect the Nation’s Digital Data
Working with companies of all sizes, the latest cyber security providers offer a range of services that not only stop current attacks, but look for signs that an impending attack has been set in place. From the simplest methods of forcing employees and users to update and change their log in passwords to far more sophisticated strategies that seek to protect entire banking systems, there is an increasing need for cyber security specialists at all levels.
By the end of this year 2020, it is estimated that nearly 83% of a company’s workload will be stored on the cloud. This means, of course, that as much as 83% of this data will be a risk. Working with the latest IT strategies and cyber security techniques, providers offer a way to help both large and small companies find the help that they need.
Unfortunately, as many as 34% of companies fail to test their backups, and of those companies that do test, nearly 77% have found backup failures. It is for these exact reasons that more and more companies realize that they need to turn to professional consultation and IT disaster recovery services to make sure that they have constant access to the digital data that runs their companies. Even after losing all other assets, 72% of business owners indicate that they could likely continue business operations if they retained their data, so it is imperative that any business today has a plan in place to make sure that backups happen not just once a month, once a week, or once day, but that these backups happen as frequently as every few hours, and sometimes minutes.
Taken into perspective, think about the last time at your home when you struggled to get your spouse and teenagers to take the necessary precautions to make certain that their own personal data is backed up. No imagine that you are not just concerned about phone contacts and photos, but the financial information of thousands of customers.
In addition to the security services that IT management services provide, 94% of business enterprises also rely on cloud services to streamline their business. Making sure that all of their efforts are completed as efficiently as possible, in fact, is the only way that most businesses can survive in today’s increasingly competitive world.
The latest research indicates that as much as 30% of a business’s IT budget goes toward cloud computing, so it should come as no surprise that there is a significant amount of budget that must also be allocated to the security of this cloud stored data. We live in a time when there are many challenges to the way we live. The access of data through technology is something we all increasing depend upon, and it is increasingly important that this data is secure from theft, but accessible to users around the clock. | <urn:uuid:c251aa25-6d62-4577-8214-f774f80d570a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://pleohq.com/2020/02/24/are-your-happy-with-your-businesss-cyber-security-plan/ | 2023-09-26T04:54:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.975577 | 812 |

Our industry-leading antimicrobial technology, Polygiene BioMaster, uses silver technology to prevent the growth of microbes, lowering the risk of contamination. It’s rapidly becoming a “must-have” in any hygiene-critical environment or on high-traffic touch points – with bathrooms, washrooms, kitchens, and toilets ticking both boxes.

“One of the reasons for developing the Dual Hydration System was to prevent contamination of hydration reservoirs from sticky sports drinks that end up being a breeding ground for bacteria and mould when not properly cleaned.
When I discovered Biomaster during the development stage of the product I knew it was something we had to incorporate into our system. It was really a no-brainer as it’s pointless to simply migrate the cleaning effort to another piece of kit.”
Andrew Davidson Director and Founder, Mix Innovations
“Biomaster has been a critical factor in Medi-Shower’s success within the Healthcare sector, but it is interesting to note that as new markets have opened for us outside Healthcare our customers demand for this high level of protection remains just as strong.”

The significance of maintaining good oral health cannot be overstated in the picturesque town of Selkirk, where community well-being is held in high regard. Maintaining optimal dental health is a crucial aspect of overall well-being. While people often focus on regular brushing and flossing, the role of diet in preventing cavities and gum issues cannot be underestimated. Mindful dietary choices can significantly contribute to healthier teeth and gums, with regular visits to a dentist Selkirk.
Sugars and Acids
The food and beverages you consume can directly impact your oral health. Foods rich in sugars and starches, such as candies, sodas, and pastries, are prime contributors to cavities. These substances nourish harmful bacteria in your mouth, leading to the production of acids that erode enamel and cause decay.
Similarly, acidic foods like citrus fruits and vinegar-based dressings can weaken the protective enamel on your teeth, making them susceptible to cavities. Incorporating these foods in moderation and ensuring proper oral hygiene afterward can help mitigate their adverse effects.
Opting for a nutrient-rich diet is a pivotal step in maintaining dental health. Foods high in calcium, such as dairy products, almonds, and leafy greens, contribute to strong teeth and bones. Phosphorus-rich foods like lean meats, eggs, and nuts also play a role in remineralizing enamel and preserving dental health.
Vitamin D is another crucial nutrient that supports oral health. It aids in the absorption of calcium and promotes gum health, reducing the risk of gum diseases. Fatty fish, fortified dairy products, and sunlight exposure are excellent sources of this essential vitamin.
Hydration and Its Dental Benefits
Water is a universal solvent and a fundamental element for life. But did you know that it also benefits your dental health? Drinking water helps maintain a balanced pH level in the mouth, vital for preventing enamel erosion. Furthermore, water encourages saliva production, which is nature’s way of cleansing the mouth and neutralizing acids that could lead to cavities.
The Role of Dentists
While a well-balanced diet can significantly contribute to dental health, regular dentist visits remain paramount. Dentists are not just professionals who fix dental issues – they also play a vital role in preventive care.
Dental check-ups, usually recommended every six months, allow dentists to spot early signs of cavities, gum diseases, and other oral health concerns. Through professional cleanings, they can remove plaque and tartar buildup that even the most diligent brushing and flossing might miss.
Moreover, a dentist in Selkirk can offer personalized guidance on dietary choices that can benefit your unique oral condition. They can suggest adjustments based on your needs, ensuring that your diet supports optimal dental health. For instance, if you have a higher risk of cavities, they might recommend limiting sugary foods and beverages.
The Bottom Line
Incorporating the proper diet and partnering with dentists can create a strong foundation for excellent dental health. Remembering dental health is an integral part of overall well-being is essential. Neglecting oral health leads to cavities, gum problems, and more severe issues that can affect digestion, heart health, and more.
Your diet has a critical role in preventing cavities and gum issues. You can significantly enhance your dental health by minimizing sugars and acids while embracing nutrient-rich foods and staying hydrated. However, remember that a balanced diet is just one aspect of the equation. Regular dentist visits are equally crucial, as they provide professional insights, cleanings, and guidance to ensure your smile remains bright and healthy. | <urn:uuid:55eb4806-8b3d-459c-8def-41892fd96018> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://popthatrocks.com/understanding-how-your-diet-affects-dental-health/ | 2023-09-26T06:47:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.933558 | 755 |

“The unknown plane appeared to be small in size, approximately the size of a suitcase and silver in color,” said a report describing an incident on March 26, 2014.
During that meeting one of the Navy’s F / A-18 jets “passed within 1000 ‘of the object, but was unable to positively determine the identity of the plane,” added the report, stating that the pilot of the United States Navy “attempted to regain eye contact with the plane, but was unable”.
CNN obtained the Navy Safety Center documents on Wednesday, previously labeled “For Official Use Only”. Followed by the official release of the Pentagon at the end of last month of three short videos showing “unidentified air phenomena” which had previously been made public by a private company.
The videos show what appear to be unidentified flying objects that move quickly while being recorded by infrared cameras. Two of the videos contain naval airmen who react in amazement at the speed with which objects move. A rumor speculates that it could be a drone.
Objects could be drones
The recently published reports appear to share this assessment, describing many of the unidentified aircraft as “Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)”, the official name of the Pentagon for drone aircraft.
According to another report on the accident in November 2013, a pilot of the Navy F / A-18 “was able to visually acquire a small plane. The plane had a wingspan of about 5 feet and was white in color with no other distinguishing features”.
“Due to its small size, the plane was determined to be a UAS,” says the report.
Another incident on June 27, 2013 said the meeting “the plane was white in color and approximately the size and shape of a drone or missile,” according to the report.
But reports say that even when unidentified flying objects are rated as drones, the military was unable to identify who was operating the drone, presenting a major security challenge to Navy jet training in the area which are limited. in the ranges of military training airspace off the east coast of Virginia.
“After the flight, the inspection agency contacted several local UAS operators, but none claimed responsibility for the unidentified aircraft,” says the November report.
“I think it could only be a matter of time before one of our F / A-18 planes collided in mid-air with an unidentified UAS,” warned one of the authors of a report.
“In many ways,” drones “pose a greater risk in midair than manned planes. They are often less visually significant and less apparent radar than manned planes,” says the report.
There is also the possibility that the drones could be operated by an opponent like Russia or China who may have tried to gather information on the operations of the American army.
The Navy now has formal guidelines on how its pilots can report when they believe they have seen possible UFOs.
The videos of the meetings were first published between December 2017 and March 2018 by To The Stars Academy of Arts & Sciences, a company co-founded by former Blink-182 musician Tom DeLonge who claims to study information on aerial phenomena not identified.
The truth is out there
The Pentagon previously studied recordings of aerial encounters with unknown objects as part of a classified program that has since closed which was launched at the behest of Nevada’s former Senator Harry Reid. The program was launched in 2007 and ended in 2012, according to the Pentagon, because they rated that there were higher priorities that needed funding.
“These aircraft – we will call them aircraft – show characteristics that are not currently in the United States inventory or in any foreign inventory that we are aware of,” Elizondo said of objects they studied. He says he quit the Department of Defense in 2017 to protest the secret surrounding the program and internal opposition to funding.
“I just wonder if it’s real,” Trump said of the videos. “This is one hell of a video.”

Common Types of Maryland Workers Compensation Injury Claims
After suffering an on-the-job injury, there is no reason you should be forced to cover your expenses. This is particularly true if someone else is responsible for causing the injuries you sustained.
Fortunately, multiple legal options may be available to you, depending on how your injuries occurred. Generally, these options include filing a claim for workers’ comp benefits or pursuing a third-party liability lawsuit. Here is more:
Workers Compensation Insurance Claims
One of the primary ways to recover compensation and get financial support after a work-related injury is by filing a claim for workers’ compensation benefits. These are generally available to anyone who has suffered a work-related injury.
Your employer’s workers’ compensation protection coverage should extend to you. Under Maryland workers’ compensation law, your employer is required to carry workers compensation insurance. This means the insurance company will be responsible for providing you with certain times and amounts of benefits, depending on the type of injury you sustained, the severity of your injuries, and your prognosis.
Types of Available Workers Compensation Benefits
When you are approved for workers comp benefits, you can expect to receive specific types of compensation and coverage of certain losses. Some of the top expenses the insurance company will cover include:
- Disability benefits – Permanent partial disability benefits, temporary partial disability benefits, temporary total disability benefits, and permanent total disability benefits generally amount to approximately 2/3 of your average weekly income. You can expect to collect this until you reach maximum medical improvement, are capable of returning to work, or reach the maximum number of weeks allowed under Maryland’s workers compensation laws.
- Medical expenses – The insurance company will be obligated to cover all expenses related to your on-the-job injuries. This includes transportation expenses, co-pays, out-of-pocket costs, mental health counseling, physical or occupational therapy, prescriptions, medical devices and equipment, home accommodations, and more.
- Vocational rehabilitation benefits – When your injuries will prevent you from being able to get back to work, you may need to learn a new skill set by going back to school or obtaining further job training. Any of the costs associated with this training so that you can re-enter the workforce should be taken care of by the insurance company.
- Death benefits – Death benefits describe benefits provided to the surviving family members of an individual who suffered fatal work injuries. Generally, the decedent’s surviving spouse and children will be entitled to the death benefit.The insurance company will also cover the costs of the decedent’s medical expenses, funeral, and burial costs.
Third-Party Liability Lawsuits
Another way to recover benefits and compensation after a work injury is by filing a third-party liability lawsuit. This is a personal injury claim filed for a work-related injury. Here, our Maryland workers’ compensation lawyers must show that someone else’s negligent conduct contributed to or is responsible for causing your injuries. This is different from workers comp benefits which are generally paid out without regard to fault.
Grounds for Personal Injury Claims
For a third-party liability claim to be successful, your work injury lawyer must show the elements of negligence have been met. These elements include:
- Duty of care
- Breach of duty
Essentially, this means the defendant must have had a responsibility for your safety, breached this duty, and ultimately caused you severe injuries. These injuries must have had a substantial impact on your life or resulted in significant damages for a personal injury claim to apply.
Types of Recoverable Damages
When you file a claim for workers’ compensation benefits, the amount of compensation you recover and the types of coverage that extend to you are limited to economic damages and permanent disability. But when you file a third-party liability claim, you have the right to seek all non-economic damages. Instead of being limited by the restriction of worker’s compensation law, you can seek restitution for every loss you experience. This does not mean you can be awarded doubly, you may have to repay a lien to the worker’s compensation insurance company for some portion of your recovery against a third party.
For example, if you are approved for workers comp benefits, and the insurance company covers your medical bills, you may have to reimburse it for such medical payments in your third-party liability claim. However, any damages the insurance company does not cover could be recouped in your personal injury claim. Your attorney can guide you in navigating the interplay between these two claims to maximize your overall recovery. Some examples of the economic and non-economic damages that could be recovered include:
- Personal property damages
- Physical pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma and distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Reduced earning capacity
- Remaining lost wages
- Diminished quality of life
- Loss of consortium
- Loss of household services
Qualifying for Workers Comp Benefits in Maryland
Maryland law has some of the strictest workers compensation requirements in the country. Any business with one or more employees is obligated to carry workers comp protection coverage. This coverage extends to employees no matter how many hours they work or how long they have been with the company. This includes:
- Temporary employees
- Seasonal employees
- Part-time employees
- Full-time employees
However, independent contractors are not generally protected by their client’s workers comp protection coverage unless included as part of the contract. Independent contractors have the option of purchasing workers’ comp protection coverage for themselves. The issue of whether someone is working as an independent contractor or employee is a factually complicated one that an attorney can help resolve. The name given does not resolve the issue, a list of factors including the scope of duties and control will help answer the questions. Only an experienced attorney can address this critical question for you.
To be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits, your injuries must have occurred within the scope of your employment. This does not necessarily mean they must be work-related.
For example, if you slipped and fell on some debris in a hallway at work, you may still have the right to workers’ comp benefits. Similarly, if you were making a bank drop at the end of your shift and were subsequently involved in a car accident, you may have grounds for worker’s comp. benefits.
Most Common Types of Work Injuries
There is no specific type of injury that warrants a workers’ compensation case. As long as your injuries occurred at work or are otherwise work-related, you may have the right to workers’ comp.
However, certain types of work injuries are more common than others. Some of these include:
- Concussions or traumatic brain injuries
- Penetrating brain injuries
- Crushing injuries
- Internal injuries and organ failure
- Spinal cord injuries
- Loss of limbs
- Third-degree burns
- Electric shock injuries
- Broken and fractured bones
- Repetitive stress injuries
- Occupational disease
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Respiratory conditions
- Certain types of cancers
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Anxiety and depression
- Facial and dental injuries
- Disfiguring injuries
- Another accidental injury
These are just a few examples of the types of injuries or illnesses you might suffer at work. If you were diagnosed with another medical condition that we did not list above, do not worry. You may still have the right to compensation and benefits for your suffering.
Make sure you have your Maryland workers’ compensation lawyer review the specific details of your case, the types of injuries you sustained, and the accident you were involved in to explore your legal options further.
When to File a Workers Compensation Claim in Maryland
You might be surprised to learn that work injuries can happen in nearly any type of work environment. Although specific industries are more dangerous and prone to on-the-job injuries than others, the potential for severe injury or death is there no matter where you work or your profession.

Common Reasons for Maryland Workers Comp Claim Denials
It is not unusual for workers’ compensation insurance companies to deny claims. In fact, it is something you should almost expect to happen after filing your claim. This is because insurance companies lose money paying out on claims.
You can expect the insurance company to go to great lengths to reduce their financial losses wherever possible. Some of the most common reasons for workers comp claim denials in Maryland include:
- Having a pre-existing condition
- Being under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the accident
- Claims not being filed in time
- Failure to include necessary medical documentation
- Making mistakes on a workers’ compensation application
- Self-inflicting injuries
- The workers’ compensation claim being distributed by your employer
- Your injuries occurred outside the scope of your employment
- You were in violation of your employer’s code of conduct
- There is insufficient medical evidence to support the severity of your injuries
These are just a few examples of reasons why the insurance company might deny your claim for workers comp benefits. Some are valid, while others are wrongful. Typically, by providing the insurance company with the necessary information and records they need, you can get your denied claim overturned.

If the insurance company is handling your claim in bad faith by delaying the processing of your workers’ comp application, misrepresenting the policy terms, or otherwise, your workers’ comp attorney will be prepared to take legal action against them.
Once retained, we will move forward with filing a formal claim with the Maryland Worker’s Compensation Commission. Once the MWCC notifies your employer, if your employer disputes your claim, this will result in a hearing before the commission. This is similar to a trial where you can present evidence to support your case, and your employer has an opportunity to justify their challenge of your workers’ comp application.
Maryland Workers Compensation FAQ
The workers’ compensation claims process can be notoriously complex. We understand you may have many unanswered questions about how the claims process works or what to expect from your case.
For that reason, we have answered some of Maryland’s most frequently asked workers’ compensation questions below. If you have additional questions or concerns we did not address on this page, do not hesitate to contact our team to discuss your individual concerns further.
What is the highest workers comp settlement?
Every person’s workers’ compensation settlement is different. Generally, injured workers can expect to recover approximately 2/3 of their average weekly salary. However, there is also a cap on the maximum amount of compensation you can receive. As of 2022, this amount is set at $1,338.
What is the maximum medical improvement?
Maximum medical improvement (MMI) refers to the point at which you have recovered as much as expected. Your healthcare provider does not expect you to regain any additional functionality or heal any further. At this point, they can access your disability or impairment rating to determine how much you should receive in workers comp benefits and how long you can continue to collect benefits based on the severity of your injuries.
How long do I have to file a workers’ compensation claim in Maryland?
Your formal workers’ compensation claim must be filed within 60 days of the accident. If your report or workers comp claim is not filed within 60 days you may still have up to two years after the injury to file a claim but only if you can prove that your employer was not prejudiced by the delay in filing after the 60 days. If you fail to satisfy these deadlines, you may be barred from recovering the worker’s comp. benefits you might have otherwise been entitled to.
Will I have to go to court?
It is difficult to say whether your workers’ comp case will need to go to court without having reviewed the specific circumstances of your case. However, many worker’s comp. denials are resolved without having a hearing before the MWCC.
Often, by speaking with insurance adjusters and ensuring they have the documentation and evidence they need, you can get denied claims reversed. However, you should always prepare for the possibility of going to a hearing so you can recover the compensation you deserve.
Should I accept a lump sum settlement?
It may not be in your best interests to accept a lump sum settlement offer. Generally, insurance companies will only make a lump sum settlement offer in an attempt to reduce their financial obligations. A lump sum settlement releases the employer and insurance company from making any further payments for medical expenses or time lost if your injuries require more treatment in the future. It also waives the ability to make a claim for a worsening of your condition. This means your claim may be worth substantially more than the lump sum amount the insurance company is offering.
You do not want to risk worsening injuries as time goes on and not have access to the benefits you need to cover your costs. Make sure you review any insurance settlement offers with an attorney before you accept it to protect yourself from being taken advantage of.

You made some quick temporary fixes around your home before hosting holiday parties. Now you need to make those fixes permanent. WD-40 or another lubricant got the squeaky, sticky door to work properly and you poured baking soda and vinegar down the clogged kitchen drain. It is still running slowly and now starting to leak. Now that the guests are gone you have time to do a proper job.
Replacing Door Hinges
Door hinges that have become damaged, sticky or squeaky should be replaced. This project may require an assistant to help balance the door and prevent it from falling. Save yourself time by purchasing new hinges before you begin.
You will need to match the current size and type. Use a pencil and piece of paper to trace the hinge and take this to the store with you.
Step 1 - Remove the Hinge Pins and Hinges
Use the pointed end of a nail and tap the pin out, from the bottom upwards, with a hammer. If your hinges do not have this type of pin, use your pliers to pull the pin from the top.
Pull the door away from the frame carefully. Remove the screws holding the hinge plates from the door and the frame.
Step 2 - Install New Hinges
Remove the pins from your new hinges and mount the individual plates in the correct location on the door and frame. You may apply some wood glue if the holes are damaged. Return the door to the closed position and insert the hinge pins into the hinges. You may need to wiggle the pins slightly to align the hinges. Tap the pins gently into place.
Note: If you do not want to remove the door, replace each individual hinge assembly one at a time, skipping the pin removal. You will still need to support the door as the weight may pull it out of position.
Replacing a P-trap
The trap under your kitchen or bathroom sink becomes clogged easily from built up foods or soap residue. Over time, it may also develop a leak. Trap replacement is a simple and low cost project that most homeowners can complete quickly.
Step 1 - Purchase Your New Trap
Measure the current trap and note how it connects to the existing plumbing. Most traps use metal or plastic nuts that screw onto the plumbing to seal the pipe. Plastic or ABS are your best choices for material, chrome traps develop leaks faster. You can also wait and take the old trap to the store after you remove it to ensure you get an exact match.
Step 2 - Remove the Old Trap
Place a bucket underneath the trap. When you remove it, water and debris will spill.
Use rubber gloves to protect your hands, especially if you used any drain cleaner in the sink. Turn off the water valves that supply the sink.
Unscrew the plastic or metal nuts at both ends of the trap with your channel locks. Pull the old trap away from the pipes carefully and place it in the bucket.
Step 3 - Install Your New Trap
Clean any debris away from the thread end of the existing pipe. Wrap the threads with some plumbing tape to stop any leaks. Position your new trap and connect it by tightening the nut from the pipe coming from the sink. Then connect the other end of the trap to the drain plumbing. Tighten the nuts just past hand tight; do not over tighten. Turn the water back on and check for leaks.
Note: In the event that you have very old plumbing, you can cut away the old trap. You can install a rubber P-trap and use stainless steel clamps that tighten with screws to connect the trap. | <urn:uuid:470eb23c-f0e1-44ef-9331-b7a4ecfd378e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://practic-ideas.webnode.ro/products/permanent-solutions-for-your-temporary-fixes/ | 2023-09-26T06:34:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.900448 | 733 |
Baby formula is given to newborns as an alternative to breast milk. Baby formula contains complete nutrition and can be given as the only diet to a child during the first half of the year. The content is adapted to what the child’s body can take care of and metabolize.
There are many different reasons why the baby formula is given. For example, it may be that you cannot breastfeed because the milk production is too low or you simply do not want to breastfeed the baby for private reasons.
No matter what the reason why you choose to give baby formula, the decision is entirely yours. You have the right to get help and instructions on how to do it, either at the childbirth or from your midwife.
If you do not want to breastfeed, it is good if you write it in your birth certificate or in some other way tell the staff at the birth.
Children need closeness, security, and that you touch. Even if you give baby formula, it is, therefore, good to be as close to the baby as possible. Skin contact is preferable and feels free to make eye contact with the child with whom you give the bottle.
Take care of the hygiene and cleaning of bottles, pacifiers, or cups. It is also important to follow the dosage and instructions on the baby formula as incorrect dosing may be harmful to the baby.
Boil the water before mixing your baby formula
The water used to prepare the baby formula should be boiled before use. The reason for heating the water is that you then kill all possible bacteria that are in our environment. Boiling water is a recommendation given by both the WHO and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).
Most importantly, this is during the first two months of the baby’s life. The water used should not be left on for more than 30 minutes. Store the boiled water with a lid in the refrigerator if you are not going to use it immediately.
It is important to note that it is the powder that must come into contact with hot water (at least 70 degrees). Therefore, do not allow the water to cool before preparing the baby formula.
If you want to speed up the preparation process, it is good to store the hot water in a good thermos that keeps the temperature. You can also use a kettle. Normally, it is recommended that the water should always be boiled for children until they are just over three months old.
Can a baby formula be saved after it is mixed?
After the baby has eaten, the remaining baby formula in the bottle should be discarded, as bacteria easily grow in it.
For the best quality, the baby formula should be served as freshly prepared as possible. Substitutes and supplements that are on the table should be eaten within an hour.
Different types of baby formula
Baby formula has been developed to be as similar to breast milk as possible and is constantly evolving and getting better.
Baby formula can be used as the only nutrition during the baby’s first four to six months. At the latest from the time the child is six months old, it is recommended that you gradually start giving the child smaller amounts of food, so-called taste portions.
What does baby formula contain?
Baby formula is made from controlled and approved milk, usually cow’s milk. It is treated so that the protein content is lowered and then fat, carbohydrates, minerals, and vitamins are added in amounts that are as similar to breast milk as possible.
The body is slightly worse at absorbing protein and other nutrients from replacement than from breast milk and the content of these is therefore often slightly higher in replacement than in breast milk.
In the supplementary industry, several levels are even slightly higher than in the baby formula to meet the growing needs of the growing child. Nutritionally, it is the same content in powder, as it is in the vacuum-packed substitutes and supplements that are available to buy ready-mixed.
The ready-mixed substitutes are recommended when traveling or if you have difficulty dosing the powder correctly.
How much baby formula should the baby eat?
How much baby formula your child should eat is very difficult to say as all children are different. On the packaging, however, there are recommendations on how much baby formula is appropriate for different age groups.
In general, however, just as with breastfeeding, the baby’s appetite and hunger should control the amount. Therefore, pay attention to the baby’s signals about when and how much they want to eat.
Mixing baby formula
We have touched on this point earlier on this page, but here are some tips to keep in mind when mixing baby formula.
- Only buy approved products of baby formula and do not try to make your own.
- Wash bottles and pacifiers thoroughly. Boil and sterilize them before first use, then there is no requirement. Make sure that the pacifier for the bottle has a reasonably small hole.
- Always wash your hands before cooking.
- Use cold water from the tap and let the water run for a while so that it does not stand still in the pipe, no chemical substances may remain in the water. Then boil the water.
- Follow the measurement instructions on the package. Do not take too much or too little powder. Too much powder can cause constipation and / or dehydration with too little powder can cause malnutrition in the baby.
- Baby formula that have been left over must be discarded.
How to do when giving baby formula
There are many opinions on how to do when giving baby formula to supplementary nutrition. As always, however, it is most important to listen to the baby so that it is comfortable and calm enough to be fed. Here is at least some good advice to make feeding easier:
- Sit comfortably in a chair or armchair that you enjoy.
- Make sure that the hole in the pacifier is the right size so that the baby formula does not flow too fast. One guideline is that it should only drip if you hold the bottle upside down. Change the pacifier as the baby gets older.
- The baby’s body should be close to your own body, much like when breastfeeding. Lay the baby horizontally, but keep in mind that the baby’s head should not be lower than the rest of its body.
- Try the temperature of the replacement by pouring a few drops from the bottle on the arm, it should be lukewarm.
- You can stimulate the baby’s search reflex by touching the baby’s cheek with the bottle pacifier.
- Do not force the child to take the bottle, wait to insert the bottle until the child opens his mouth.
- If the child has the right suction technique on the bottle, the child’s lips should be unfolded so that they close around the pacifier.
- Angle the bottle so that the pacifier is constantly filled with baby formula, otherwise the baby may swallow air.
- Do not screw the cap on the bottle too hard, as this can create a vacuum.
- Let it take time and pick up the baby if it becomes whiny. It may need to belch.
- It is usually best if the child is allowed to suck until it releases itself. You should preferably not pull out the pacifier.
- Those who are to give the child food should preferably be known to the child so that the child feels safe with the person who is feeding.
- If you only temporarily give baby formula, you can give substitute in a cup, spoon bottle or in a snipe, a kind of drinking bowl. If you stop breastfeeding, the baby may otherwise have difficulty with the suction technique, and it may be difficult to start breastfeeding again.
- If you give compensation in a cup, you should keep in mind that it flows faster out of the cup than out of a baby bottle, and you may therefore need to take it at an extra slow pace.
Changing baby formula
Sometimes, for various reasons, you may have to change the baby formula. However, a study conducted in the UK shows that several babies’ stomach problems have worsened when parents have changed baby formula several times.
If you need to change products, start carefully by using the different products in parallel for the first time. Start by giving day 1 only the new baby formula at 25% of feedings. On day 2 you can then increase to 50% of each new and old product and on day 3 you can then give the new baby formula 75% of the time.
From day 4 you can then give only the new product. This provides a smooth transition between the different products. If you have been diagnosed with a milk allergy, you should, however, switch to the milk-free replacement immediately.
The poop from children who receive baby formula
The first poop that comes after birth is called meconium and is very dark. After one week, the baby’s poop usually turns light yellow or yellow-brown.
Newborn babies often poop every time they eat and the stool is usually loose if they are breastfed. In the children who only receive baby formula, the poop is often a little firmer than in the children who only receive breast milk.
The color is usually yellow, but it can also be a little greenish. Many parents become worried if the child suddenly does not poop on any given day, but this does not normally have to be the case as long as the child eats and sleeps well and is as usual otherwise.
Children who receive baby formula or supplementary nutrition can sometimes have problems with sluggish stools. It can sometimes be experienced as the child shaking without any stool. The first thing to check if the baby seems to have constipation is to mix the baby formula exactly according to the instructions on the package.
Taking too much powder makes it easier for the child to suffer from constipation and it can also suffer from dehydration. Constipation often passes quite soon, but if it does not do so within a week, or if the child seems to be in pain or has difficulty pooping, you should consult a midwife or a doctor.
Tips when giving baby formula
- All children are different, and the appetite can vary from time to time. The fact that they do not eat as they should for any day does not mean that you should change your diet or start giving regular food.
- During the first two months, it is only natural that the baby gets a lot of gas. Feel free to help the child get the gases out. Laying the baby over his shoulder can help the baby to burp or to let go so that air that the child swallows can come out.
- At first, children are not disturbed by the environment when eating, but when the child grows up, it can be disturbed if there are too many activities around.
- If children catch a cold and stuffy nose, it can be difficult to eat from a baby bottle. Then you can give saline solution in the nose just before the child is to eat.
- Children need closeness even when giving a bottle. Feel free to take off your upper body so that the child makes skin contact and keep the child close to you.
- Feel free to take breaks in feeding, so that the child is given time to eat.
- The length of the meal varies, and it is important to let the child decide the pace. 30 minutes per meal is a guide.
- Does the child get enough food? The fact that infants urinate so that you can change the nappy at least six times a day, and that the nappy is then soaked with clear yellow or pale-yellow urine, is usually a sign that it is eating enough.
- It is quite common for children to vomit when eating. This is because the upper stomach, between the esophagus and the stomach, is not fully developed and does not close tightly when the baby is born. | <urn:uuid:3efc2dbf-d5e3-47c8-bd8b-58ef12cde012> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://pregnantandparent.com/breastfeeding/everything-about-baby-formula/ | 2023-09-26T04:53:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.956782 | 2,454 |

The issues of improving the environmental situation in the regions of Kazakhstan and the development of renewable energy sources were considered at the meeting of the Council on the transition to a green economy under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Alikhan Smailov.
The event was attended by heads of central government agencies, Atameken NCE, major industry centers and associations, as well as representatives of the United Nations.
Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources Zulfiya Suleimenova reported that within the framework of implementation of the Concept for the past 10 years it was possible to reduce the energy intensity of the economy by 36.7% of the 2008 level, to bring the share of RES to 4.5%. Besides, the area of forests was brought to 5%, and the share of specially protected natural territories is to more than 10% of the republic's territory.
At the same time, within the framework of updating the Concept after the adoption of the Strategy for achieving carbon neutrality of the Republic of Kazakhstan until 2060, it is planned to bring the indicator of processing and utilization of municipal waste to 40% by 2030, and in the long term - to 60% by 2050. Coverage of the population with waste collection and disposal services should reach 100% by 2040 through the organization of a centralized system in rural communities.
At the same time, the share of processing and utilization of industrial waste is planned to reach 60% by 2050 by stimulating the introduction of the best available technologies at enterprises. Along with this, work will be carried out on reclamation and construction of new landfills.
As part of the implementation of the updated Concept, measures will be taken to reduce air pollutant emissions, in particular, by modernizing CHPPs and switching to gas fuel, protecting protected natural areas, rare species of plants and animals, and expanding the area of forests.
The implementation of environment-friendly measures is also planned in the fields of agriculture, energy and water resources management.
The Prime Minister emphasized that the green economy is one of the important instruments of sustainable development of the country as a whole. In this regard, achieving the goals and indicators set out in the Concept will require a significant change in the development trajectory of Kazakhstan's economy.
"As a result, the living conditions of the population, the state of atmospheric air, waste management, use of water and land resources will improve," Alikhan Smailov said.
Prime Minister instructed the Ministry of Ecology to accelerate the updating of the Concept and to submit the draft to the Government Apparatus by December 1.
The meeting also discussed plans and measures taken for further development of renewable energy sources.

BL16 "Halt Dangerous Excavation Activities near Transmission Pipelines"
Practice Statement Transmission pipeline operators should have procedures and established contacts with local enforcement personnel in order to act appropriately to halt dangerous excavation activities that may damage their pipelines and potentially cause an immediate threat to life or property.
Transmission pipeline operators should have written procedures to address the need to stop an excavation when it poses an immediate threat to the transmission pipeline facility or the general public. These procedures should include outreach to local enforcement agencies and personnel. The outreach communications should include information describing potential dangers to public safety of unsafe excavation practices near the pipeline.
Local enforcement personnel play a critical role due to their authority to legally halt an unsafe excavation. Agencies with the authority to halt a dangerous excavation may vary among governments. For example they may include titles such as Safety Officer, Police, Fire Department, Fire Marshal, Utility Coordinator, and Building Code Department.
The transmission pipeline operator should build relationships with the proper enforcement personnel in advance to facilitate timely response and corrective action.

Planning the installation of a brand new roof can seem difficult at first. However, with the help and guidance of a dependable Tyler roofing contractor who knows what they’re doing, you shouldn’t have too many problems.
The process should start with evaluating the old roof and seeing what types of materials and what kind of installation you should consider. Make sure you take into account the local climate as well, and try to avoid going into the more refined details right away. The initial goal is to simply establish the roof you want and need the most.
Next, check on your budget and make sure you have enough money for the type of roof you want. If necessary, let go of some of the more dazzling features, and choose functionality over appearance. That way, even if you need to buy a cheaper roof, you can still make sure that it withstands the test of time.
Talk to local roofers about issues like warranty and insurance, and make sure you hire a roofing expert that knows all about the type of roof that you want to set up. Checking reviews and comparing services and prices will also help you to choose the right roofer and bring them in to plan the final details of your project before work can start. | <urn:uuid:b1f54372-12c0-4cbb-beec-65e5c8ce4c71> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://priorityroofs.com/how-to-properly-plan-the-installation-of-your-new-roof-from-the-very-start/ | 2023-09-26T05:52:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.964963 | 254 |
Are you interested in pursuing a career in project management but have no prior experience? While it may seem daunting, it is possible to land a project management job even without any previous experience in the field. In this article, we will explore the steps you can take to increase your chances of getting a project management job with no experience.
1. Gain Relevant Education and Certification
While experience is important, having the right education and certification can make up for the lack of practical experience. Look for courses or programs that offer project management training and certification such as the Project Management Professional (PMP) certification offered by the Project Management Institute (PMI).

One way to gain practical experience in project management is by volunteering for projects or organizations that require project management assistance. This will not only allow you to gain hands-on experience but also help you build a network of professionals in the field.
2.1 Offer Your Services to Nonprofit Organizations
Nonprofit organizations often have limited resources and rely heavily on volunteers. Reach out to local nonprofits and offer your project management skills. This will not only provide you with valuable experience but also allow you to make a positive impact in your community.
2.2 Join Professional Associations and Networks
Joining professional associations and networks related to project management can help you connect with experienced professionals in the field. Attend networking events, workshops, and conferences to expand your professional network and learn from industry experts.

Even if you don’t have direct project management experience, you may have transferable skills that are relevant to the role. Identify and highlight these skills in your resume and during job interviews to demonstrate your ability to succeed in a project management position.

Strong communication skills are essential for project managers. Highlight your ability to effectively communicate with team members, stakeholders, and clients. Emphasize your written and verbal communication skills, as well as your ability to facilitate meetings and presentations.

Project managers need to be effective leaders and team players. Showcase your leadership skills by providing examples of times when you successfully led a team, resolved conflicts, or motivated others to achieve goals. Demonstrate your ability to work collaboratively and build strong relationships with team members.
4. Tailor Your Resume and Cover Letter
When applying for project management positions, it’s important to tailor your resume and cover letter to highlight your relevant skills and experiences. Customize your application materials to match the job description and emphasize your transferable skills and relevant education or certification.
4.1 Highlight Relevant Projects or Experiences
If you have completed any projects or gained relevant experience through internships or volunteer work, make sure to include them on your resume. Focus on the skills and achievements you gained during these experiences and how they relate to project management.
4.2 Show Your Enthusiasm and Motivation
Express your passion for project management in your cover letter. Explain why you are interested in the field and how you have taken steps to educate yourself and gain experience. Highlight your willingness to learn and grow in the role.
5. Prepare for Interviews
Once you start getting interview opportunities, it’s crucial to prepare thoroughly to make a positive impression on the hiring managers. Research the company and the specific role you are applying for, and practice common interview questions.
5.1 Research the Company
Before the interview, research the company’s mission, values, and current projects. Familiarize yourself with their industry and competitors. This will demonstrate your interest in the company and help you tailor your answers to align with their goals and values.
5.2 Practice Common Interview Questions
Prepare answers to common project management interview questions, such as how you handle tight deadlines, resolve conflicts, and manage stakeholders. Use the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to structure your answers and provide specific examples of your past experiences.
While getting a project management job with no experience may seem challenging, it is possible with the right approach. By gaining relevant education and certification, volunteering for project management roles, showcasing transferable skills, tailoring your application materials, and preparing for interviews, you can increase your chances of landing a project management job.

Confirmation that more than 9,300 calls were made to the HSE’s My Options helpline in the first eight months of this year has been described as alarming and tragic by the Pro Life Campaign.
Commenting on the news that the numbers included 244 calls from women who had passed the 12-week limit for a medical abortion, spokesperson for the Pro Life Campaign, Eilís Mulroy said it was clear that virtually nothing is being done in terms of actively promoting life affirming alternatives or meaningful supports for women in crisis:
“These numbers bear out the assessment provided by the Pro Life Campaign prior to the referendum, particularly with respect to the absurd claim that abortion once introduced would be ‘safe, legal and rare.’
“Even if we allow for the fact that at least some of the recorded calls may have been repeat or follow up calls, the numbers remain profoundly shocking.
“If 6000 of the 9,300 callers went on to have an abortion, this would equate to, on average, about 25 abortions every day of the eight month period that we have information on.
“This is a horrific outcome by any measure in terms of the loss of unborn human life and the damage being done to vulnerable woman.
“We also must ensure that these latest numbers are not used as grounds to call for either expansion of access or the normalisation of abortion.

William F. Buckley Jr. 1925 – 2008 – in 1982, while the PHBFH was pregnant with ezra, i went to eastern washington to be a migrant fruit picker for a season. because of the fact that i didn’t have any money, i found a telephone credit card number, that allegedly belonged to William F. Buckley, which i used to call the PHBFH every day. i talked for hours, from the pay-phone up the road about a mile from the orchard i was working at, which was about 50 miles outside of lake chelan, washington. i can only imagine how large “William F. Buckley’s” phone bill must have been, because i figured that if i was using it with no consequences, there had to have been several hundred (at least) other hippies who were also using it. it finally quit working after i returned home, around christmas or so of that year. ezra was born in january of 1983. | <urn:uuid:0ea328e6-2c50-493c-ae7e-d9a359c0fed8> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://przxqgl.hybridelephant.com/2008/02/27/dead-people/ | 2023-09-26T06:50:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.989179 | 209 |

Mapping Income Poverty in Belize Using Satellite Features and Machine Learning
This study creates poverty maps for Belize leveraging free and open source methodologies that link satellite imagery and existing survey data with machine learning. Belize is an exemplar of country for which Big Data and machine learning hold promise for generating poverty maps at a reduced cost as the last poverty assessment was conducted in 2009 and no consumption survey with the intention of producing sub-national estimates of poverty has been conducted since then. Even though poverty mapping provides clear information about the location and extent of poverty within a country, mapping the spatial distribution of poverty or incomes within a country remain a challenge for countries. Budget constraints restrict the use of poverty maps for policy targeting, leading to waste and inefficiency. This paper investigates how small area estimates of average income may improve when incorporating features derived from Sentinel-2 and MODIS imagery. The results indicate that the poorest districts are Corozal, in the north, and Toledo, in the south, and suggest reduction in poverty for the districts of Orange Walk and Stann Creek in the last decade. | <urn:uuid:bc427681-4021-40a6-bbe7-47fc6a3aaf7b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://publications.iadb.org/en/mapping-income-poverty-in-belize-using-satellite-features-and-machine-learning | 2023-09-26T06:54:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.909219 | 223 |

Magnetic properties of the quadruple perovskite solid solutions Ca1–xYxCu3Fe4O12 and Y1–yCeyCu3Fe4O12 are investigated. Ca1–xYxCu3Fe4O12 shows continuous increase in the ferromagnetic transition temperature as x increases. Y1–yCeyCu3Fe4O12 exhibits a ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic transition in the vicinity of y = 0.5. These observations demonstrate the electron doping effect on magnetic properties of charge-disproportionated ACu3Fe4O12 phases.

Underground Injection Control Structure Cleaning & UST Closure
NIPIDIMI BX engaged PWGC to provide closure of an underground storage tank (UST) in the Bronx, NY.
PWGC performed a Phase I ESA and Phase II ESA at the site. The Phase I identified the potential presence of one 3000-gallon UST, two 275-gallon #2 fuel oil above-ground storage tanks (ASTs) and one 500-gallon AST.
PWGC’s soil sampling near the known USTs did not identify petroleum impact, but based on the findings, PWGC recommended that the anomalies be further investigated and properly closed (as necessary) in accordance with applicable regulations.
Each anomaly turned out to be non-abandoned USTs that were cleaned, then removed from the site. Endpoint samples were collected and analyzed to ensure VOCs and SVOCs were not detected after removal. The analytical results of the samples indicated no impact on the soils surrounding the USTs. An affidavit certifying the closure of the UST was submitted to FDNY. Following removal, the site was restored and utilized as an active bus terminal. | <urn:uuid:8fd01611-d622-4b4b-9dfe-066b69dbbbdc> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://pwgrosser.com/projects/uic-cleaning-ust-closure/ | 2023-09-26T05:34:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.962117 | 242 |
- by Anne Barbara Ridler 55Since we through war awhile must part
Sweetheart, and learn to lose
Of all that satisfied our heart:
Lay up those secrets and those powers
Wherewith you pleased and cherished me these two years:
Now we must draw, as plants would,
On tubers stored in a better season,
Our honey and heaven;
Only our love can store such food.
Is this to make a god of absence?
A new-born monster to steal our sustenance?
We cannot quite cast out lack and pain.
Let him remain-what he may devour
We can well spare:
He never can tap this, the true vein.
I have no words to tell you what you were,
But when you are sad, think, Heaven could give no more.
A Dream Observed
- by Anne Barbara Ridler 26Out from his bed the breaking seas
By waking eyes unseen
Now fall, aquatic creatures whirl
And he whirls through the ambient green.
The sea lion and the scolopendra
Lolling in sleep he sees
Strange in their ways, and the swift changes
Their landscape makes, from shells to trees.
Down English lanes a camel walks,
Or untrammelled flies.
But I, wakeful and watching, see
How chilly out of the clothes he lies.
Easy an act to cover him warm:
Such a lover's small success
Like the heaped mind so humble in sleep
But points our actual powerlessness.
Monsters in dreams he sees, yet lies
At peace in his curling bed;
Blessings that outdo all distress
Implicit in his sleeping head.

From the best-selling author of The Elegant Universe and The Fabric of the Cosmos comes his most expansive and accessible book to date—a book that takes on the grandest question: Is ours the only universe?
There was a time when “universe” meant all there is. Everything. Yet, in recent years discoveries in physics and cosmology have led a number of scientists to conclude that our universe may be one among many. With crystal-clear prose and inspired use of analogy, Brian Greene shows how a range of different “multiverse” proposals emerges from theories developed to explain the most refined observations of both subatomic particles and the dark depths of space: a multiverse in which you have an infinite number of doppelgängers, each reading this sentence in a distant universe; a multiverse comprising a vast ocean of bubble universes, of which ours is but one; a multiverse that endlessly cycles through time, or one that might be hovering millimeters away yet remains invisible; another in which every possibility allowed by quantum physics is brought to life. Or, perhaps strangest of all, a multiverse made purely of math.
Greene, one of our foremost physicists and science writers, takes us on a captivating exploration of these parallel worlds and reveals how much of reality’s true nature may be deeply hidden within them. And, with his unrivaled ability to make the most challenging of material accessible and entertaining, Greene tackles the core question: How can fundamental science progress if great swaths of reality lie beyond our reach? ,p> Sparked by Greene’s trademark wit and precision, The Hidden Reality is at once a far-reaching survey of cutting-edge physics and a remarkable journey to the very edge of reality—a journey grounded firmly in science and limited only by our imagination. | <urn:uuid:31120d89-18b0-4eca-9e62-68f663a3740f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://quantum-cafe.com/List/style.ashx?style=9780307265630 | 2023-09-26T05:12:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.931718 | 374 |

At NEXT, I am constantly surprised by how much furniture our apartments hold! Empty spaces in apartments and homes can seem small and daunting. Time and time again we transform these spaces to inspire living at a whole new level by adding unique furniture and color to feel like home.
FORM MEETS FUNCTION
One thing we have moved forward with is movable islands or high kitchen tables as work spaces—the drama and functionality is noticeable and FUN!
My banker James Turner took me by the hand and said, “Randy Fifield … I do not know how, but you make 429 square feet feel larger than anyone I know.”
Large windows and unique modular furniture plays well in these units.
ADD PERSONAL TOUCHES
Mirrors and gallery art take the space up a notch.
Unique accessories like our Kelly Werstler lamps or air plants make a home look relevant and fresh.
Futons or full size couch/daybeds can make for a swing space to be used as an office or a second guest bedroom—they immediately make a space feel large and impressive.
Shelving also creates space for spacing saving/design features.
I put a glass and metal shelving unit in my South Beach condo bathroom that serves to hold hand towels, air freshener, extra soap, and a decorative silver cylinder to hold ear buds, tampons, band aids, ponytail holders and other guest essentials—it looks great and creates more space right over the toilet. The shelving unit as you pass by makes the space look like a room.
There are SO MANY wonderful ways to decorate today!

Web Ping 1.0 reviewDownload
Web Ping is a simple application to test an internet connection to a perticular site.
Web Ping is a simple application to test an internet connection to a perticular site. I created this application after my work moved locations and half our network stayed in the old building and the other half moved with us to the new location. A flaky (significant point) VPN was set up to keep the two connected. Since a couple of the unmoved servers were of interest to me, I keeped checking to see if they were still accessable with the ping command before doing any serious work with them. A quick and pathetic Google resulted in no other program that meet my needes, so I wrote one.
Insted of doing an actual network ping, Web Ping tests a connection by downloading a web page on a given server. The size of the page and time are stored in memory and the times are graphed. In this way, sites that block network a ping can still be tracked.
Web Ping also keeps track of the largest and smallest download times per session and also tracks the max and min values currently on the graph. Times of interest are graphed in a color which represents if it is a max or a min. (see figure one). The history tab also lists all the max values as they have been recevied. A running average is also calculated with each download. The files downloaded are not processed or stored in any way. This prevents any security problems that can normaly happen in a web browser enviroment. The only two pecies of information retained about a downloaded file is the size and time.

Redeployable Camp Systems SA was tasked with rapidly supplying
the SANDF with tents for its border protection duties
As its name indicates, Redeployable Camp Systems SA (RCSSA) (Hangar 4 Outside Stand ON4) has built an enviable reputation for its turnkey camp solutions in many parts of the world. The company’s redeployable camps have been supplied into some of the most inhospitable regions, from deserts and jungles to the icy fields of Antarctica.
In recent times, RCSSA, part of the KwaZulu-Natal headquartered Canvas and Tent group, provided more than 270 tents to the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) for its border posts around the entire perimeter of the country. This forms part of Operation Corona that is focused on safeguarding the country’s borders. The project entrusted to RCSSA covered 19 military bases on the borders, including those with Lesotho and Eswatini.
According to RCSSA group sales manager Martin Bester, the company managed to execute the order in a matter of weeks, from early December 2021 to late February 2022, a period that included the Christmas holidays.
“We delivered just over 100 Warrior tents measuring about 10 x 5 m and a further 44 of the 5 m square Warrior tents,” he explained. “Besides these and other deliveries, RCSSA repaired existing tents at the bases as required in terms of the contract.” For this massive and urgent undertaking, the company utilised no less than 42 ten-ton trucks that drove a combined 33 000 kilometres throughout South Africa in the short space of time. “We executed this contract within the specified timeframe and to the satisfaction of the SANDF,” Bester said. “The Warrior tents, fondly referred to as ‘Weatherhaven tents’ by the SANDF, accommodate eight to ten soldiers, but some tents were destined for other purposes, such as offices.” | <urn:uuid:cca86f99-ace8-48f3-abe5-3a15c53a487f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://rcssa.com/author/conner/ | 2023-09-26T05:00:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.950016 | 416 |

Florida taxpayers footing Ron DeSantis’ security bill see over 58% jump in cost to $9.4MILLION as governor hits campaign trail
- Florida taxpayer funds for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and his family’s security and transportation has more than doubled to $9.4 million over the last year
- DeSantis spokesman Jeremy Redfern told DailyMail.com the increase is due to the ‘elevated threat profile’ against the governor
Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s bill to protect and transport Gov. Ron DeSantis has more than doubled from last year now that he has hit the campaign trail with his family and upped his security detail.
The total Florida taxpayers spent this year to protect the DeSantis family, transport them and detail the governor’s mansion reached $9.41 million from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023, according to an FDLE annual report released on Tuesday.
DeSantis spokesman Jeremy Redfern told DailyMail.com in a statement that the increase is due to the ‘elevated threat profile’ against the governor since he became more nationally prominent.
The total spent this year on security related costs is a $3.47 million increase from the last fiscal year where the total spent on the governor’s security and transportation was at $5.94 million.
The amount of Florida taxpayers funds for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and his family’s security and transportation has more than doubled to $9.4 million over the last year, according to a new Florida Department of Law Enforcement report
DeSantis spokesman Jeremy Redfern told DailyMail.com that increase is due to the ‘elevated threat profile’ against the governor since he became more nationally prominent. Pictured: DeSantis attends the Iowa State Fair on Saturday, August 12
The jump can largely be attributed to an increase in salary costs, meaning that the team either brought on more personnel, upped their hours or increased their pay – or maybe a combination of all three.
Salary costs went from $2.37 million 2022 to $5.03 million this year.
But transportation and other expenditures also represented a rise with $3.1 million spent over the last fiscal year.
‘By law, FDLE must provide protective services to the governor and the first family,’ Redfern wrote in a statement. ‘His record as the most effective conservative governor in American history has also earned him an elevated threat profile, and FDLE has increased the number of protective agents to ensure the governor and his family remain safe.’
In May 2023, DeSantis announced his bid for president. Since then, he has been traveling the country.
It is not immediately clear whether the funds for security when on the road running for president are coming entirely from his campaign coffers or whether Florida taxpayers are footing the bill for that, too.
FDLE’s report is not super detailed, so the figures are not broken down into what funds were used on the governor’s detail and which were attributed to salary and overtime.
From Jul 2021 through June 2022, the total spent on security detail for the governor and his family almost reached $6 million
From July 2022 through June 2023, the DeSantis family spent nearly $6.3 million just on salary for security staff, according to the report
In total, it cost Floridians nearly $700,000 to protect First Lady Casey DeSantis and more than $550,000 to provide details and transportation for the entire Florida first family, which include Ron, Casey and their three children Madison, six, Mason, five, and Mamie, three.
Most recently, the three were in Iowa last week and over the weekend to travel the state and attend the Iowa State Fair.

Singapore, 6 January 2020 - In response to the catastrophic bushfires that are affecting communities in Australia, the Singapore Red Cross (SRC) will launch a public fundraising appeal, and in the first instance, pledged S$50,000 in humanitarian aid to support affected communities. SRC’s contribution and all donations raised will go towards supporting the humanitarian efforts by the Australian Red Cross, for the relief and recovery of survivors.
Mr Benjamin William, Secretary General and CEO of Singapore Red Cross, said, “We are deeply concerned about the situation in Australia. The full extent of the devastation is still unfolding as the authorities work to contain the massive blazes. The crisis is expected to escalate in view of the strong winds and persistent drought. Our sister National Society, the Australian Red Cross (ARC) has been providing support to evacuees in 35 evacuation and recovery centres New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia. The ARC is also providing psychological first aid, in addition to distributing food hampers, water pallets, hygiene items and other essential supplies to the affected communities. We continue to be in communication with our counterparts in the ARC to ascertain needs and consider further support where needed.”
Touted the worst wildfires Australia has seen in decades, the fires, burning since September, have intensified over the past week. As of 5 January, the death toll has hit 24 across the nation, with more than 60,000 sq km of land burned and more than 1,300 houses destroyed.

Biggest Success in 12 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is a testimonial from our client Dorothy March. Red Tape Busters have been fighting a Queensland Council for Dorothy and her family now for 3 years. Through the expertise of Red Tape Busters Director, Shane Bowering and his dogged determination to hold Council accountable Shane has realised the biggest lobbying success since our commencement 12 years ago – simply a stunning result. Dorothy’s words sum it all up perfectly – “Dear Shane, I just want to thank you on behalf of the March family for your wonderful efforts in assisting us in our long running fight with Council. This has been a long three years and at no stage did you give up and you patiently fought Council every step of the way. Not only did you win us a combined $455000 in compensation but you also had a massive win for us in relation to our building dispute with Council which has resulted in an approximate increase in value of our property as a direct result of your intervention of around $250000. We can’t thank you enough for your fantastic efforts. Without you, Council would have essentially destroyed the value of our property and left us emotionally and financially shattered. We all have appreciated your efforts.-
Dorothy March and the whole March Family.” | <urn:uuid:51e95310-ed9a-4a1a-a7f2-f5231f64e794> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://redtapebusters.com/biggest-success-in-12-years/ | 2023-09-26T06:21:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.970049 | 260 |

The founding members of the Reformation Canada Network are Canadian pastors and church leaders who were formerly affiliated with the Reformed Church in America (RCA).
The reason these leaders decided to step out of their lifelong denomination to form a new association of churches was the RCA’s refusal to hold to its own Biblical creeds and confessions.
We came to believe that the effectiveness of our local churches would be enhanced by leaving the RCA and establishing a new association of churches – Reformation Canada Network.
Ron Opmeer, President
Ron is the pastor of Bethel Community in Abbotsford, BC. He and his wife Melanie have four sons, two daughters-in-law and one grandson. Ron has a servant’s heart and a lawyer’s brain!
Jim Moerman, Clerk/Secretary
Jim is the pastor of Home Church Langley in Langley, BC. He and his wife Babette have three wonderful daughters, two amazing sons, four fantastic in-laws and 9 absolutely astonishing grandchildren.
Ted Broekhuizen, Treasurer
Ted is a retired engineer and serves as Elder. He and his wife Sally have one son, one daughter-in-law and two grandchildren. Ted is a giant teddy bear and a sportscar enthusiast to boot.
Sola Scriptura in the 21st Century
RCN is a national network of Reformed churches in an accountability relationship across Canada to equip our congregations to carry out the Great Commission (Our Mission) and to see every church being a healthy church, radiant in Christ, reaching out and reproducing (Our Vision).
We require our leaders to annually affirm their commitment to the God-breathed Scriptures from cover to cover through the RCN’s Covenant Statement on Belief and Practice.
This Covenant was first received by our churches in 1999 and now includes statements on the sanctity of life and sexual identity, as well as a Doctrinal Statement on the essential Christian truths set out by Regent College, Vancouver, BC.
As Gospel-centred churches, we proclaim Jesus Christ as the only mediator between God and humankind. Through faith in Christ’s death and resurrection we are completely saved from the penalty of sin and freed to live lives of service by the leading of the Holy Spirit.
The RCN holds to the historic Christian creeds and Reformed confessions as faithful witnesses to God’s Word, along with other Reformation and contemporary statements which anchor our churches firmly on Scripture (See list, RCN By-Laws, p.1).
As salt and light in the world, we join with like-minded believers to preserve our God-given freedoms in Canada while resisting unjust laws and the worldliness that causes moral decline and suffering. We will speak the Truth in love (Ephesians 4:15) so people and families can thrive and younger generations are protected from much trouble and confusion.
Therefore, The RCN…
DOES encourage church partnerships with other ministries to help us serve better and grow;
DOES NOT have a top-down structure which can weigh-down our leadership.
DOES stand strong on Scripture on sexuality and will back our churches to do the same;
DOES NOT waver in the face of societal pressure to follow the next fad in moral decadence.
DOES celebrate the Sovereignty of God over human life from conception to natural death;
DOES NOT view people as self-defined or able to choose the right way without God’s help.
DOES maintain a relationship of mutual benefit with the Alliance of Reformed Churches in the U.S. and its many former RCA partner churches and church plants;
DOES NOT pursue relationships with churches which compromise on Scripture.
DOES reduce church membership fees to 1.5% of the previous year’s expenses (not including mission givings);
DOES NOT seek to add structures or staffing that will be a burden on local churches.
DOES hope churches in Canada, like yours, will join us to seek first God’s kingdom together! | <urn:uuid:f16318aa-f788-4049-9e39-8f22c9483be8> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://reformationcanada.ca/about-us/ | 2023-09-26T05:40:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.951444 | 843 |
During the last decade measures of overt and covert surveillance, information sharing and deterrence of the illegal movement of people has increased within and between states. Border security has come to dominate international relations, and increasingly to deflect the needs of asylum-seekers who search for a state that will offer them substantive protection under the Refugee Convention. Measures of internal and external deterrence diminish the reality of protection to genuine refugees as some of the most vulnerable individuals in the world today. Australia, as a country of relative geographic isolation, has not experienced the large-scale influxes of asylum-seekers seen in many parts of the world. Notwithstanding this, the Australian Government has in recent years implemented harsh policy and administrative measures directed at asylum-seekers with a substantial measure of public support. In August 2001, an incident involving 433 asylum-seekers was branded in popular discourse an asylum crisis. This incident involved a Norwegian freighter, the Tampa, which picked up survivors from a sinking boat who were making their way to Australian waters in order seek protection under the Refugee Convention. The Tampa was repelled by Australian security forces from disembarking the people they had picked up in distress on Australian soil. In this article, I explore the Tampa incident against the backdrop of refugee policy development from 1999. I argue that rather than responding to a crisis, the Australian government has generated the perception of a crisis in the Australian community. Implications of the Australian response to asylum-seekers are significant not only in the Asia/Pacific region, but further afield, as policy responses toward asylum-seekers by receiving states have converged in the recent past. | <urn:uuid:723e5989-97fd-476a-9327-63aa2cfc8573> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://refugeeresearch.net/rrn_node/asylum-seekers-as-pariahs-in-the-australian-state/ | 2023-09-26T05:52:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.968779 | 317 |
Virtual Football Party Ideas for The Big Game!
Whether you're looking for a way to watch the big game between friends, or just looking for some super bowl party ideas, you might be wondering how to do all that virtually. And with game day approaching, you need fun party ideas quickly!
A boring Zoom call won't do it, no way. You want the real deal, a football themed party with football party food, party decorations, games, the whole deal.
Here's how to do it!
Choose your virtual platform
Let's have a football party!
Of course, you can use Zoom, FaceTime, Google Hangouts, or Skype to just call your friends and casually discuss during or before the big game. But it really isn't that fun. You would usually choose your squares or make other friendly game wagers, nosh on some party food, get fired up with your friends as the refs make a bad call and much more, so a basic, boring Zoom call isn't super tempting.
However, if you choose a good platform, you can really entertain your guests the same way (even better) no matter where they are in the world! Close the gap with your fantasy football league or family members and friends who may be in your hometown while you are three states away!
You need a platform that'll enable you to recreate that in-person atmosphere and really hype everyone's team spirit up!
Wouldn't it be great to have a virtual platform already decorated like a football field, or with your favorite team colors? Where you can have tables to cheer or trash talk between friends just like in real life, to have fun and natural discussions?
With Remo it's not only possible, it's already done! We created a floor plan specifically for the big game. Or if you prefer, you can create your very own DIY floor plan. Touchdown!
Football game party ideas
Now that you chose the perfect platform for your needs, time to plan a DIY football party with everything you like!
Food ideas to kick off the party
Recreate the tailgate atmosphere at home by sending everyone football party favor bags including football party supplies, hot wings, pretzels, appetizers, or any other football party food.
They can make their own snack table with a themed football tablecloth, NFL napkins and other football party decorations. There are some amazing companies out there who's sole purpose is to make this part easier for you with food and beverages delivery across the USA or even worldwide, like Dineable, or Pizzatime.
If you really want to go all in, you can even send a football cake (or football cupcakes) to your friends.
Host a virtual toast as you raise your drinks together when your team ends a 95 yard drive with a touchdown or your defense takes it to the house with a pick 6.
Now that's a virtual super bowl party they'll remember!
Virtual games and ideas for the big game
Of course the only game that really matters is going to be on TV, but why not do some fun football related games while we wait for it to start?
Yes, you can add a photo booth on Remo so that you can take pictures of this unforgettable party! Send your attendees some costumes or stickers in advance, put on your favourite player's jersey and football make-up for really fun photos.
Ask questions about the football season, how long are the yard lines, the goal post, or any other football trivia question you can find. You could even have an amazon gift card for the sports know-it-all of the group!
Big game guessing game
Take bets on how the night will go; what's going to happen during the half-time show? Who will get the first touchdown or penalty flag? Which ad will be the best? Write them down on a whiteboard and go back after the game to see who's predictions were the best.
You can even create a table for the casual fan there more for the ads than the game. Take polls on which ad is the group’s favorite!
Football themed contest
Turn this NFL confrontation into a friendly competition. Who makes the best football themed centerpieces, cupcake toppers, football field table, best decoration ideas, or party table. Make the celebration into a competition and let everyone vote for their favorite.
Find some free printables or create your own football themed bingo game. It's super easy and always a crowd pleaser.

Inward FDI in the GCC countries has more than quadrupled between 1990 and 2006 reaching about $113 billion. The current research on FDI in GCC countries has focused on the location determinants based on the location advantage hypothesis of Dunning's (1981) ownership-location-internalization paradigm. The main location advantage the GCC countries have is oil. In addition, they possess well developed infrastructure and highly open trade. The Achilles heel, however, lies in education and institution quality. In order to strengthen foreign investment-conducive institutions, the GCC countries have signed a number of bilateral investment treaties. One implicit assumption of the current research is that FDI is beneficial to the economy. The impact of FDI, at the aggregate and sectoral levels, on growth, employment, domestic investment, technology and technological spillovers, human capital, and domestic investment constitutes a set of rich future research agenda.

The objective of the present study was to assess the anxiolytic and anticonvulsant activity of alcoholic extract of heartwood of Aquilaria agallocha (AEAA) in mice. Preliminary phytochemical studies revealed the presence carbohydrates, flavonoids, tannins, saponins and tri terpenoids in AEAA. LD50 study was conducted in albino mice as per OECD guidelines no 425 and it was found to be 1098mg/kg. Anxiolytic activity in mice of AEAA was assessed using elevated plus- maze (EPM), Open field test (OFT) and light-dark transition (LDT) test models and anticonvulsant activity in pentylene tetrazole (PTZ), maximal electroshock (MES) induced convulsion models. AEAA at lower dose (30mg/ kg, po) did not show any anxiolytic or anti convulsant effect. Pretreatment with AEAA (100 and 300 mg/kg, po) significantly (1) increased the total entries, number of entries into the open and closed arm and the time spent in the open arms in EPA, (2) increase total locomotion, time spent in central compartment and decrease the immobility time in OFT and (3) increase the latency to enter into the dark compartment and the time spent in the light compartment in LDT indicating that AEAA at these dose levels possess anxiolytic activity. Similarly pretreatment with AEAA (100 and 300 mg/kg, po) significantly delayed the onset of PTZ induced clonic convulsions and duration of extensor phase in MES induced convulsions indicating that this extract possess anticonvulsant activity. These results suggest that at doses 100 and 300mg/kg AEAA, exhibited both anxiolytic and anticonvulsant activities. The medium dose (100mg/kg) of AEAA showed more anxiolytic activity and less anticonvulsant activity than higher dose (300mg/kg).

After resetting the waste ink counter, you need to clean the waste ink tray or expand the tray to avoid spilling ink on the printer and work area, causing dirt and lack of aesthetics as well as professionalism.
Have you ever met the problem called the Waste Ink Counter Overflow in Epson printers? This is popular problem in Epson series, the Epson EP-903F printers have the Waste Ink Counter that used to calculate the waste ink flowing into the Waste Ink Tray.
When the waste ink is full as well as the Waste Ink Counter is more than 100%, the printer will stop to ensure the safe of the printer. You can see the red lights blinking continuously and “The Printer’s Ink Pads are at the end of Their service life. Please contact Epson Support” shows on the screen.
For the new printer series, they setup the Waste Ink Counter on 100% position before the Epson EP-903F printer’s Waste Ink Pad is full of waste ink and the Waste Ink Counter raises up.
You can see on our website, we provide the WIC RESET UTILITY software so you can reset this problem by yourself when the Waste Ink Counter come back to 0%, the printer will go on printing.
If you are using the new printer, you can’t be worried because the Waste Ink Counter can’t overflow but for the old one, if you don’t clean the Waste Ink Pad after the first resetting process, your Epson EP-903F printer can be damage because of the overflowing waste ink.

Before starting with the detail steps we need to find some information about the ideas: As we know that the waste ink of the printer is constructed to flow into a wire pine to the Waste Ink Pad then they are collected by the sponge in the Waste Ink Pad, this make the waste ink not to overflow out of the Epson EP-903F printer but the sponge has the limited absorbing ability so when the sponge is not able to absorb the waste ink, it’ll overflow.
I think that replacing the Epson EP-903F printer’s Waste ink Pad or using something to suck all the waste ink are two methods you bring up first but we have an alternative solution for you that is using waste ink bottle that can contain the waste ink during the printing procedure. Set your mind at rest because your Epson EP-903F printer will not overflow the ink, everything you need is bringing the bottle to pour then clean it.
Shall you follow these steps to know more:
Step 1: Checking and open the cover of Epson EP-903F printer’s waste ink pad:
Let’s see the cover by turn the printer, as you can see in the picture the small cover, this is the waste ink pad’s cover.
Open it and you can see the waste ink’s wire pine and the waste ink’s sponge in the picture below.
Then you can realize that the Epson EP-903F printer’s waste ink pad is larger than the gate to go over the waste ink pad you have already opened when you see. Disassembling the shell and this way needs to be done carefully, you have to take your printer to a service center.
You can follow and apply our method that doesn’t need to remove any thing, let’s see in the second step:
Step 2: How to separate the tube from the Epson EP-903F printer’s Waste Ink Pad.
You can see the Waste Ink Pad of the Epson printer and the tube, you had better use the tool to separate the tube afrom the waste ink pad. Please clean it carefully to avoid the broken-down.
Be gentle and careful to avoid folding or cracking waste ink pipes of Epson EP-903F printer.
Step 3: Clean the tube and absorb all the waste ink from the waste ink pad, you can use a cylinder to suck the waste ink in the waste ink tube of the Epson printer.
Next, you also have to suck the waste ink form the sponge if the Epson EP-903F printer is new one you can skip this step but not for the old printer because of being overflow the waste ink while the transferring procedure is running.
By this way, it’s not necessary to worry about the waste ink overflowing when you don’t use the bottle to contain the waste ink. However, you need to check and suck the waste ink regularly so I think you should use a bottle to assist to collect the waste ink.
Step 4: Install the bottle out of the printer
You need to prepare the following:
– A bottle made from plastic or glass.
– A relative tube is as equal as the tube of the printer.
– The tube connection tool.
You can see in this picture to know how to install and assemblr all the component together to avoid your Epson EP-903F printer’s waste ink pad overflow.

In this quick post, we will explain you how to configure your website to sell online courses using nothing but Restrict and WooCommerce. Setting all up for this is very fast and easy and does not require you to have any special knowledge apart from general familiarity with WordPress while the rest is simply following this instruction and making changes according to your specific scenario.
So, buckle up, here we go…
As mentioned at the beginning, we will be using WooCommerce and Restrict plugin for this. So, before we start, make sure that you have installed and activated the latest versions of WooCommerce (you can download it from here) and Restrict plugin which you can download from your Restrict account.
Once you have installed WooCommerce to your website, make sure that you have configured at least one payment gateway that you will be using for selling WooCommerce products with. WooCommerce has dozens of payment gateways integrations (you can find more about it here) so you can choose whichever suits your needs best. Of course, if you already have WooCommerce installed and your preferred payment method configured on your website, you can skip this step.
Next up, head to WooCommerce Settings > Accounts & Privacy tab and make sure that you have un-checked an option labeled Allow customers to place orders without an account. This is very important step since in order for this whole thing to work, your customers must be registered on your website as this will allow them later to log in and access your online courses.
After this, you should proceed and create a product in WooCommerce. You will be using this product (or multiple ones) as an “entry ticket” for your online course. So, if you will be offering just a single course, then you can settle with a single product, but if you will be offering different courses with different pricing options, then you should create multiple products with different pricing options, each of which will be granting access to your customers to different courses.
With this done, you’re ready to start selling the access to your courses. But, before you start selling anything, let’s first create a course itself.
Regardless whether your courses will be in written form, videos or whatever else, you will be placing your course as a content in a dedicated page or post. So, when you create a page or post that will contain your course, you should restrict it’s content to WooCommerce Users and then select Specific Product option after which you should select a specific product that is customer required to purchase in order to access the content of that page or post. In the screenshot below, you will find a post titled Online Course which has its content restricted to the customers who purchased a WooCommerce product named My Online Course:
Of course, if any other visitor tries to access this post, they won’t be able to see any content which means that only customers that are logged in to your website and have previously purchased this specific product will be able to access the content of this post.
Okay, with everything set up as explained above, you’re basically ready to go and everything will work fine. But why not add a few more extra touches to make even better experience for your customers? For example, you can head to Restrict > WooCommerce tab and you can specify a messages that will appear to the customers who haven’t purchased a required product. So, within the Specific product area you can set up a message saying something like In order to access this course, please purchase [rsc_woo_product_links]. With this, the customer will not only be able to figure out what they need to purchase but also, by clicking the product title, they will be redirected to WooCommerce product page from where they will be able to purchase this product. This will save them quite a few clicks and you will profit on the sheer simplicity of the process. Surely, this text can be anything you see fit for your scenario but the trick is with the [rsc_woo_product_links] placeholder which will display the product title which is clickable and leads to the product page.
Another awesome thing you can do is to make it easier for the customers who made a purchase, to log in to your website and access the content, you can place a login form as part of the message shown to the customers. To do this, head to the Login Form area of Restrict and copy the login form shortcode. After that, head back to the WooCommerce area of restrict and in the same area where you’re defining a message for specific product requirement, simply paste this shortcode. It will look something like this:
As a result, you will be offering customers to log in on that very page instead of redirecting them all over the website and as soon as they log in here, the restricted content will be displayed to them. Sounds awesome, right?
And another thing worth remembering is that Restrict allows you to restrict the content of the whole post category in a few simple clicks (check our documentation about this here).
So, for example, if you have multiple courses with the same restriction criteria, you can simply categorize all the posts that contain your courses with the same category and then apply content restriction to that whole category instead of having to set the criteria for each of the posts individually. Yep, it’s that simple.
Of course, there are lot more things that you can do depending on the requirements of your exact scenario but these are some common practices that will ensure you’re up and running with a few simple clicks and without too much hassle. | <urn:uuid:c8afbf9c-63b4-432a-8c19-a80bc34d2fea> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://restrict.io/restricted-content-documentation/selling-online-courses-on-your-website/ | 2023-09-26T04:50:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.933499 | 1,146 |

Commercial roofs are designed to deliver exceptional longevity and performance, but even the most durable roofing materials are susceptible to damage over time. As the years go by, chances are your metal roof will begin to develop some problems that require professional attention and care. When this happens, it’s essential to handle repair proactively so that you can get your metal roof in Springfield, MA back into the best condition possible:
- Rust: Rust and corrosion are common issues for metal roofing in Springfield, MA, especially following stormy weather or high humidity levels. Rust often starts out small, but it can quickly expand and cover your metal roof with a reddish flakey coating. Most metal roofs are treated with products that are designed to prevent rust development, but even treated roofs can be vulnerable to rust over time. You should look for rust during semi-annual roof inspections and add a rust inhibitor as necessary to prevent future development.
- Roof puncturing: When people frequently walk on your roof to conduct inspections or repairs, it increases the likelihood that your roof will be punctured. Punctures typically develop in the areas where your roof gets the most foot traffic, and they can weaken the structure of your roof significantly if they aren’t repaired right away. If someone has to get on your roof to repair or inspect it, they should take care to avoid dragging equipment or placing too much weight on weaker parts of your roof.
- Mixed metals: Roofing systems are designed to deliver consistent performance with a single type of metal, so it’s not usually a good idea to mix various different metals into a single roof. Depending on the type of metal panels that you mix and match, you might experience issues with uneven wear and incompatibility that take a toll on the performance of your roof.
- Damaged fasteners: Fasteners keep your metal roofing panels attached securely to your roof. If these fasteners are damaged or begin to wear down, your roof panels might come loose and leave your roof susceptible to water damage and other issues. A technician who specializes in metal roofing in Springfield, MA can identify damaged fasteners during a regular roofing inspection and replace these parts when necessary to keep your roof protected against all of the elements the forecast brings throughout the year.

On August 16, 2016, the Alberta Water Council (AWC) released a report entitled Recommendations to Improve Aquatic Invasive Species Management in Alberta.
The report is a result of the work of the AWC Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Project Team, which was established to identify gaps and opportunities to improve awareness, communication and coordination among stakeholders in Alberta that are working to prevent and manage threats of AIS, including plants, mussels, fish, amphibians, and snails.
The report includes seven recommendations to assist Alberta in improving its management of AIS. The recommendations also support work undertaken by the Government of Alberta to develop a provincial AIS management program.
The AWC report recognizes that many groups are already working to prevent AIS from entering Alberta and to manage existing threats; however, it stresses the need for continued leadership, expertise and support from the Government of Alberta, noting that a successful outcome will rely on collaboration with national, regional and local partners. More information about the AWC AIS Project Team is available here
The AAMDC continues to play an active role on the AWC Board of Directors and committees through representation by AAMDC Board of Directors, members and staff. The AWC recommendations regarding AIS is reflective of the AAMDC endorsed resolution 2-14F: Controlling and Enforcing the Spread of Aquatic Invasive Species (Quagga and Zebra Mussels).

This is a long-winded story of failure. I’m hoping to share some misconceptions I had about starting a business as well as “analysis paralysis”.
Back in October of 2018, I was doing what I do best: Trolling Facebook Garage Sale sites. Some of my better items for sale were:
- Litterbox from a pet free home
- Ashtray from a smoke free home
- A box of skunks image I found on Google, trying to sell them as house cats, which somehow still exists on DuckDuckGo:
But, I came across a post that claimed an income of $350/month and an investment of $5k. This of course would draw any idiot in without a business degree, like me.
After several weeks of talking to the person selling them, seeing the machines, and doing research, I was able to get it down to a more acceptable $4,400.
Here’s the actual cashier’s checks to buy them. With my research, this seemed like a solid plan:
- The machines worked and were stocked
- The machines were for sale and recently sold for similar prices to what I’m paying on eBay and other vending outfitters
- They already had an agreement with two existing locations, and these agreements didn’t include any percentage due the business owners
So, I figured, what could I possibly lose? I bought them. Immediately, I went full capitalist and technologist — how do I track sales as they come in and inventory levels with the least amount of effort? Turns out vending machines have a BUS to track all of this already. I started writing a software platform that would allow me to track every single item in the machine’s cost — and if it sold, what the margin was on the products. I went to the existing locations and talked with a few folks up there to determine:
- What products do they want in the machines
- If they haven’t been using the machine, what’s wrong with the products? Not cold enough? Expired? Bad selection? etc
While there, the first thing became apparent: I didn’t do my market research. The lady at one of the locations told me that the merchandise was expired often and so people stopped buying it.
Of course I was aware that expired does not mean bad, but the image vending machines have to start with means I need to keep on top of this. So, I went and signed up for a Sam’s club membership.
WordPress sucks and isn’t letting me upload may pictures.
So, I went and got prices for common items and those they requested. I’m sure that our current terrible economy means that these items are nearly double now, but back then they “weren’t bad”.
Time to do the initial assessment
So, I had two locations. They were both in dialysis centers. Immediately I was concerned about this — can customers eat / drink before or during this process? What conditions cause this and what shouldn’t they eat/drink? Then I found it they would be in the breakrooms for the employees.
So then I had to consider what that looked like. They had vendors dropping off food, they had a refrigerator in the offices, relatively low foot traffic, and moderate access to external food sources (gas stations, fast food, etc).
I then had to go over what was in the machines:
I walked away with baskets of expired product. You’d think high fructose corn syrup, phosphoric acid, artificial flavors and colors would last a long time — and these Pepsi cans seem to indicate they’re from the late 80s… But they weren’t. Not only do you have to deal with weird date formats and obscure calendar formats, you have to guess between made on, best by, expires, and other dates. All which the FDA doesn’t seem to regulate and are up to the manufacturer. And pop expires FAST.
I left there with BOXES like this, all expired full size candy bars. This wasn’t a total loss because this was all stuff that came “free” with the machines, but still, it sucked.
So I ended up giving this out a few days later on halloween, and apparently I was a popular house.
Now, I mentioned that this was late October. It turns out that I would spend roughly half my Sundays driving from my house, to Sam’s Club, to buy merchandise, and then to the two locations to stock them up and collect money. Overall, I don’t think I had collected $100 before I had to give up.
2019 Rolled around fast — and I was getting BUSY at work, I was flying out for entire weeks at a time for customer sites and I could not keep up with the vending business. I was getting contacted by the sites and I did my best to smooth things over, but it became apparent that I really had to either pull these out and put them in a better location, closer to me, or sell them outright. I went for the latter option. Now, a few hundred into food to stock them, and starting to pull my own “expired” products out of the machines.
I had somebody reach out looking to buy them. I wasn’t really in a hurry, but I just wanted to be done. I ended up selling them for a few hundred below what I bought them for. The same guy bought both.
The second one to sell, we met at first. We confirmed the machines worked and talked to the owner some.
A few days later, we met at the first location and that one sold pretty quickly. I then went back to the drawing board with the second. This guy was a decent businessman in my opinion, he was pretty aggressive about talking me down, and my just lack of interest in doing it anymore, I sold cheaply.
The second machine, which he had seen weeks earlier, he had met locally to purchase. I explained I didn’t want to drive out another 45 mins to meet onsite.
A few days later, he reached out and told me that I “scammed him” and that the compressor had went out on the second machine due to being too close to the wall. Dude was a real tool about it, even though he got the machines with a location for several hundred less than I paid.
Thankfully, this transaction is when I was smart. I took out literal crayons that I had in my vehicle and wrote up a bill of sale containing the words “as-is”. He got to eat the cost of a compressor while I got to eat the cost of months of ownership.
I didn’t feel great about it, but I didn’t knowingly sell it that way.
Oh, and then the government shut us down for a few years not long after the sale, so I assume that impacted his side as well.
Lesson being: Research more than you think you should, buy lower than they want, and sell more than they want. Also, shit expires fast, so vending isn’t “passive income”, you work a LOT for nothing. | <urn:uuid:eed98a17-ff00-4607-a315-3f74e9bc27da> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://robert-lerner.com/a-story-vending-machine-business/ | 2023-09-26T05:41:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.986369 | 1,522 |
The foundation for handling sadness and misfortune, and thus for leading a low-stress life, is what I like to refer to as “living right.” What I mean by this term is consistently being conscious of, and vigilant about, trying to make good choices.
Please, no relativism copout here when it comes to deciding what “living right” and “good choices” mean. I’d be willing to bet that you’ve had more experiences than you can count where you did something that, in your gut, didn’t feel right. And just as many experiences where you did not do something that you knew, deep down inside, you should have done.
In fact, you can apply the “feels right/feels wrong” barometer to virtually any aspect of life. Whenever a person who’s a hundred pounds overweight walks by me at a ballpark — beer in one hand and a container of gooey, cheese-covered nachos in the other — I think to myself, “Surely this gal must know that what she’s doing is not in her best interest.”
Specifically, she knows that it’s wrong for her health and longevity, not to mention her energy level and capacity for enjoying life. In reality, of course, she doesn’t think about it in such specific terms. Her stress level simply rises and brings with it a higher level of unhappiness.
Another example is when you allow a sales clerk, customer rep, or maintenance person to intimidate you into accepting a less than satisfactory solution to your problem. How many times have you felt stressed and inwardly angry for allowing yourself to be intimidated in such situations?
Or how about when you do something that, at the deepest level of your moral foundation, doesn’t feel right? In such a situation, if you’re basically an honorable person, your conscience won’t let you get away with it. This often brings the Guilt Fairy into your life, and along with her enough stress to take your mind off other important matters.
Then there’s the discomfort of being late for appointments, particularly if it becomes a way of life. Being late is not only a blatant display of rudeness, it also makes you look weak in the eyes of others. Worse, it causes you to feel weak.
We all desire love, understanding, and recognition, but none of these is foundational to serenity. Nor is alcohol, pills, sexual pleasure, fame, or wealth the antidote to stress. Millions have tried all of these things without conquering their stress, and all too many have lived unnecessarily short lives as a result.
The real key to conquering stress is self-examination — continual, honest self-examination regarding the harmony and disharmony in your life. Inner conflict causes stress. By contrast, leading a concentric life (i.e., one in which what you do matches up closely with what you believe in and what you say) brings harmony into your world. Harmony is directly related to how often you follow through and do what you know is right. Likewise, harmony is related to how often you demonstrate the self-discipline to refrain from doing that which you know is wrong.
Finally, if you’re a religionist, stress is a signal that you are disconnected from God. How can you be stressed if you are connected to an infinite source of power that is presumed to be omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent?
Similarly, if you’re an atheist, stress is a signal that you are disconnected from the infinite power of the universe, whatever the ultimate scientific explanation of that power may be. In this respect, I agree with Viktor Frankl’s view that there is much less difference between a religionist and an atheist than most people might suspect. The more I examine this issue, the more convinced I am that it’s very much an issue of semantics.
In Part III of this article, I’m going to suggest some specific actions you can take to lower your stress level and bring more serenity, peace of mind, and tranquility into your life. | <urn:uuid:711d94e6-ea55-415e-a733-791b8966ebd7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://robertringer.com/peace-of-mind-part-ii/ | 2023-09-26T06:29:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.96487 | 871 |
The average low-information voter, who depends on getting his news from the FNM, is trembling in his shoes right now because the life-ending government shutdown he has heard so much about has finally arrived. How in the world can the United States possibly survive such a calamity?
But let’s get serious: Every reasonably well-informed individual with an IQ above 32 realizes that a government shutdown is not only not a bad thing, it’s actually a positive. Let’s face it, the only way to stop government spending and borrowing is to close shop. And, amazingly, when that happens (as it has 18 times in the past), the anti-Armageddon truth is that the average person is totally unaffected!
While the amount varies from month to month, the government brings in, on average, about $200 billion a month from (mostly unwilling) taxpayers and pays out, on average, about $20 billion in monthly interest charges. That’s a tenfold coverage.
Second, Social Security and Medicare are easily covered by government revenues each month, at least right now.
Third, there’s plenty of money available to meet our current military obligations (though we need a good debate about how much military we really need to properly defend our country).
Fourth, everything that’s left (about 30 percent of scheduled expenditures) can be prioritized, with the only question being who should make the decisions as to what goes at the top of the list and what goes at the bottom.
Former Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner once insisted that the notion of prioritizing payments is futile because the debt limit must be increased regardless of which spending path is adopted. He boldly stated that “there is no credible budget plan under which a debt-limit increase can be avoided.”
That, of course, is status quo thinking — and patently false. The truth is that there’s a very credible budget plan to avoid raising the debt ceiling. It’s called: CUT SPENDING! Politicians don’t want to hear about it, but if you cut spending enough, you don’t have to raise the debt ceiling one dime. And once that’s accomplished, a serious president should use his bully pulpit to pressure Congress into making serious budget cuts.
The best way to go about that is to subject all spending to the Goldwater Litmus Test: Is the proposed program or expenditure constitutional? Such a litmus test would make it possible to dramatically reduce taxes, borrowing, and fiat-money creation.
The United States now borrows more than 40 cents of every dollar it spends, so prioritizing payments without raising the debt ceiling would force the U.S. to cut about 40 percent of all government expenditures. Which is a good thing. When will some politician — any politician — have the courage to step forward and say so?
There’s no question that serious spending cuts would have painful implications for people in every walk of life — including military families, veterans, and government employees. This is a serious problem for politicians, because all of those people are voters. Realistically, the only way even well-intentioned politicians would have the courage to cut back on goodies to voters is if they were subject to term limits.
Military families’ and veterans’ obligations could be whittled down over a period of time by closing down half or more of our 700 overseas military bases and staying out of nation-building wars. For a fraction of current costs, we could bring our troops home and have them focus on defending our own porous borders rather than bombing, then rebuilding, countries on the other side of the globe, countries that have no interest in establishing a democratic form of government.
As to government employees, do you know anyone who would be unhappy with getting rid of as many “public servants” as possible? Let’s face it, the majority of these people work at jobs that produce nothing of value for American citizens.
Some elites argue that not paying for programs and employees already on the books is just as much of a default as not paying interest on the national debt. What they are really saying, in effect, is, “Even though we have to go deeper into debt to pay for these government programs, which assures that default is only a matter of time, we have no choice but to do so given the fact that we’ve already made those commitments to people.”
I would argue that if Congress passes unconstitutional legislation to implement unconstitutional programs, it is not your obligation to pay for them. On the contrary, it is Congress’ duty to repeal all such legislation, because, first and foremost, members of Congress made a commitment to voters that trumps all other commitments — the commitment to uphold the Constitution!
I wonder how many voters actually care about this little inconvenient truth. No Democrats, to be sure. But, sadly, probably a majority of Republicans are also unwilling to slow down the money spigot.
All this by way of saying that I continue to believe the United States will ultimately default on its debt obligations, regardless of what phony patchwork solutions Congress comes up with. The bottom line is that virtually no one is brave enough to name specific “entitlements” that should be cut.
The ruling class is simply playing politics in an effort to prolong the day of economic reckoning, a day when they are out of office and our children and grandchildren will be left holding the debt bag.
All this being said, we should never lose sight of the fact that our biggest problem is not the national debt. The national debt is just a symptom of a much broader underlying problem: America has lost its moral compass. Only an immoral people, after all, would continue to add more and more debt, knowing that it can never be repaid and that future generations will have to deal with the consequences. | <urn:uuid:d1a917a7-a7b7-43ee-9857-ab27842508bf> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://robertringer.com/the-dreaded-government-shutdown/ | 2023-09-26T06:15:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.960488 | 1,216 |

The mid-range options, such as the Roku Streaming Stick+ and Roku Premiere, typically fall between $39.99 and $79.99.

On the other hand, Chromecast is known for its affordability. The standard Chromecast device is priced at $35, making it a budget-friendly option for those looking to add streaming capabilities to their TV. There is also the Chromecast Ultra, which supports 4K Ultra HD and HDR content, priced at $69. Although the selection is more limited compared to Roku’s variety of models, Chromecast’s reasonable pricing makes it an attractive option for cost-conscious consumers.
It’s important to note that both Roku and Chromecast occasionally offer discounts and promotions, so you may be able to purchase a device at a lower price during these sales events. Additionally, keep in mind that ongoing costs may be associated with streaming services, as certain channels or apps may require a subscription.
When comparing the prices of Roku and Chromecast, it’s essential to consider your specific requirements and budget. If you’re looking for a wider range of models with varying features and capabilities, Roku offers more options, but the prices may be higher. On the other hand, Chromecast provides a more affordable streaming option, making it an attractive choice for those on a tighter budget or who prefer a simple and budget-friendly device.
Ultimately, the price of the streaming device should be weighed against the features, performance, and content availability to determine which device offers the best value for your needs and preferences.
When considering a streaming device, it’s essential to assess the availability of content and the range of streaming services offered. Let’s compare the content availability of Roku and Chromecast to help you understand which device offers a more extensive selection of streaming options.
Roku is well-known for its vast selection of channels and apps, making it a top choice for those seeking a diverse range of content. The Roku Channel Store hosts over 500,000 movies, TV episodes, and other streaming options, including popular services like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, and many more. Roku ensures that users have access to a wide variety of genres and interests, ranging from movies and TV shows to news, sports, music, and even niche channels. With such a comprehensive collection, Roku offers a nearly limitless streaming experience.
Chromecast, on the other hand, relies on casting content from compatible apps on your mobile device or computer. The availability of content depends on the supported apps, and Chromecast supports a wide range of popular streaming apps, including Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, Spotify, and more. While Chromecast offers access to an extensive library of content through these apps, it may not have the same breadth and variety of available channels as Roku. However, the ability to cast content from the Chrome browser allows you to stream web content from any website that supports casting, expanding the range of available content.
It’s important to note that both Roku and Chromecast constantly update their channel and app offerings, with new services being added regularly. Additionally, while both devices support major streaming platforms, it’s a good idea to check if any specific content providers you’re interested in are supported on the device of your choice.
To decide which device offers better content availability, consider your specific streaming preferences. If you prioritize access to a wide variety of channels and genres, Roku’s extensive channel store may be the better option for you. On the other hand, if you primarily use popular streaming apps and enjoy the convenience of casting from your mobile device or computer, Chromecast should be able to provide you with ample content options.
In summary, Roku’s channel store provides a vast collection of content across various genres, catering to diverse interests. Chromecast relies on compatible apps and the ability to cast content, offering a different approach to accessing streaming services. Consider your content preferences and priorities when making a choice between Roku and Chromecast.
The user interface plays a crucial role in the overall streaming experience, as it determines how easy it is to navigate and access content. Let’s compare the user interfaces of Roku and Chromecast to help you understand which device offers a more intuitive and user-friendly interface.
Roku has built a reputation for its user-friendly interface, designed to make streaming simple and accessible for users of all ages. The interface is clean, straightforward, and easy to navigate, ensuring a smooth user experience. The home screen provides a personalized layout, allowing you to customize it with your favorite channels and apps for quick and easy access. Roku also offers a universal search feature that allows you to find movies and TV shows across multiple streaming platforms, simplifying the content discovery process. The user interface is designed to be intuitive, making it easy for even the most technologically challenged individuals to navigate and find their desired content.
Chromecast takes a different approach to user interfaces. Rather than having a dedicated interface on the TV screen, Chromecast relies on casting content from your mobile device, tablet, or computer. The interface is controlled through the companion app, which acts as a remote control for casting content. This mobile-centric approach can offer a seamless and familiar experience for users who are accustomed to using their smartphones and tablets as media controllers. However, it may require an adjustment for those who prefer a traditional on-screen interface and remote control. The simplicity of the interface lies in its minimalism, focusing on providing a bridge between your mobile device and the TV.
Both Roku and Chromecast offer voice control features that enhance the user experience. Roku devices can be controlled using voice commands through the remote control or via a compatible voice assistant. Chromecast, on the other hand, integrates with Google Assistant for voice-controlled casting and playback control.
The choice between the user interfaces of Roku and Chromecast ultimately depends on personal preference. If you prefer a dedicated on-screen interface with a remote control for easy navigation and access to content, Roku may be the more suitable option. However, if you enjoy the convenience of using your mobile device as the control center and desire a minimalist interface on your TV, Chromecast offers a unique and streamlined experience.
Consider your familiarity with mobile devices, your comfort level with different types of interfaces, and your preference for a visual on-screen guide when deciding which device’s user interface best meets your needs.
Setup and Installation
When it comes to setting up and installing a streaming device, ease and simplicity are key factors to consider. Let’s compare the setup and installation process of Roku and Chromecast to help you understand which device offers a more user-friendly experience.
Setting up a Roku device is a straightforward process. Start by connecting the Roku device to your TV’s HDMI port using the provided HDMI cable. Then, connect the device to a power source. Once powered on, you will be guided through the on-screen setup process, which involves connecting to your home Wi-Fi network and following a few simple prompts. Roku also offers a mobile app that can assist with the setup and configuration of the device. Additionally, many newer Roku models support wireless setup, allowing you to connect to your Wi-Fi network without the need for an Ethernet cable. Overall, Roku’s setup process is designed to be user-friendly and can be completed in a matter of minutes.
Chromecast’s setup and installation process is also relatively simple. Connect the Chromecast dongle to your TV’s HDMI port and plug it into a power source. Then, download and install the dedicated Google Home app on your mobile device or tablet. The app will guide you through the setup process, including connecting the Chromecast to your home Wi-Fi network. Once connected, you can start casting content from supported apps to your TV. Chromecast’s setup process is designed to be seamless and requires minimal technical knowledge, ensuring a hassle-free installation experience.
Both Roku and Chromecast devices receive regular firmware updates, which are installed automatically to ensure optimal performance and access to the latest features. These updates are typically downloaded and installed in the background, reducing the need for manual intervention.
In terms of installation, both Roku and Chromecast are compact and portable, making them easy to fit into any home entertainment setup. The devices can be placed near the TV and require minimal space. Additionally, both Roku and Chromecast are compatible with a wide range of TV models, including older TVs without smart capabilities, allowing you to transform any TV into a streaming hub.
Overall, both Roku and Chromecast offer simple and user-friendly setup and installation processes. Whether you opt for Roku’s guided on-screen setup or Chromecast’s app-based configuration, both devices are designed to be accessible and easy to get up and running, ensuring that you can start enjoying your favorite content without any technical headaches.
Streaming quality is a critical aspect of the overall streaming experience. Let’s compare the streaming quality of Roku and Chromecast to help you understand which device delivers a more reliable and high-quality streaming performance.
Roku devices are known for their reliable and consistent streaming quality. They support a range of video resolutions, including high-definition (HD), and some models even offer 4K Ultra HD and HDR capabilities. The streaming quality of Roku devices is largely dependent on the strength and stability of your internet connection. As long as you have a stable and fast internet connection, you can expect smooth playback and minimal buffering. Roku employs optimization techniques to adapt to varying network conditions, ensuring that your viewing experience remains uninterrupted. Whether you’re streaming your favorite TV shows, movies, or online videos, Roku’s streaming quality delivers sharp and clear visuals for an enjoyable viewing experience.
Chromecast also provides high-quality streaming, but it relies on the casting device for content delivery. The quality of your streaming experience with Chromecast is dependent on factors such as the quality of your internet connection, the performance of your casting device, and the compatibility of the apps you are using. Chromecast supports high-definition (HD) and 4K Ultra HD content, delivering vibrant colors and sharp details. It’s worth noting that Chromecast’s streaming quality is heavily reliant on your Wi-Fi network’s strength and stability. A weaker Wi-Fi signal may result in buffering or reduced video quality. However, when all factors align and you have a strong network connection, Chromecast can deliver a smooth and high-quality streaming experience.
Both Roku and Chromecast prioritize providing a seamless streaming experience. If you have a reliable and fast internet connection, you can expect excellent streaming quality from either device. However, it’s important to consider that Roku devices have their own operating system and are optimized for streaming, which may provide more stability and consistent performance.
To ensure the best streaming quality regardless of the device you choose, it’s recommended to have a stable internet connection with sufficient bandwidth. This will help minimize buffering and provide smooth playback. Additionally, placing your streaming device and Wi-Fi router in close proximity can help maintain a strong and consistent connection.
In summary, both Roku and Chromecast offer high-quality streaming experiences when used with a reliable internet connection. Roku’s dedicated operating system may provide a more optimized streaming performance. However, both devices have the potential to deliver smooth and immersive viewing experiences for your favorite shows, movies, and more.
Remote Control Options
Remote control options are an important consideration when choosing a streaming device, as they determine the convenience and ease of navigating and controlling your streaming experience. Let’s compare the remote control options of Roku and Chromecast to help you understand which device offers more versatile and user-friendly control options.
Roku devices come with a physical remote control that provides a convenient and familiar way to navigate the user interface and control playback. The Roku remote typically includes dedicated buttons for popular streaming services, allowing for quick access to your favorite channels. Some Roku models also feature additional functionality, such as voice control, which allows you to search for content, launch channels, and control playback using voice commands. Depending on the model, the remote control may also include features like private listening through a built-in headphone jack or support for audio control through individual power and volume buttons. The physical remote control provides tactile feedback and is especially useful for those who prefer a traditional remote experience.
Chromecast, on the other hand, takes a different approach to remote control. Instead of a physical remote, Chromecast relies on your mobile device, tablet, or computer to control playback and navigate the interface. The dedicated Google Home app acts as a remote control, allowing you to cast content, adjust volume, and control playback directly from your device. This mobile control offers the convenience of using a device you’re already familiar with, but it may not provide the same tactile feedback as a physical remote. Additionally, Chromecast is compatible with Google Assistant, which allows for voice control, further enhancing the convenience and hands-free control options.
Both Roku and Chromecast also offer mobile apps that can be used as remote controls. The Roku mobile app provides an additional control option, allowing you to navigate the interface, launch channels, and control playback using your smartphone or tablet. Similarly, the Chromecast mobile app provides control over casting content and playback, as well as access to additional features like screen mirroring and device settings.
The choice between the remote control options of Roku and Chromecast really depends on personal preference. If you prefer the tactile feel of a physical remote control and appreciate dedicated buttons for quick access to streaming services, Roku’s physical remote control may be the better option for you. However, if you prefer the convenience and familiarity of using your mobile device as a remote, Chromecast’s mobile control options, including voice control with Google Assistant, can provide a more seamless and integrated experience.
Consider your preference for physical or mobile control options and the convenience of additional features like voice control when deciding which device’s remote control options best suit your needs.
Compatibility with Other Devices
Compatibility with other devices is an important aspect to consider when choosing a streaming device, as it determines how well the device integrates with your existing home entertainment setup. Let’s compare the compatibility of Roku and Chromecast with other devices to help you understand which device offers a wider range of compatibility options.
Roku devices are designed to be versatile and compatible with various devices. Most Roku devices work with any TV that has an HDMI port, including both older and newer models. This means that regardless of the age or brand of your TV, you can likely connect a Roku device to it and start streaming. Roku is also compatible with a wide range of audio systems and home theater setups, supporting both HDMI and optical audio connections. With its comprehensive compatibility, Roku seamlessly integrates with your existing devices, making it a flexible choice for any home entertainment setup.
Chromecast, on the other hand, is compatible with devices that support HDMI connectivity. It plugs directly into the HDMI port of your TV, allowing you to cast content from your mobile device, tablet, or computer. Chromecast supports both Android and iOS devices for casting, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of smartphones and tablets. It’s important to note that while Chromecast itself is not compatible with audio systems or home theater setups, some apps and devices offer Chromecast built-in functionality, allowing you to cast audio to compatible speakers. Additionally, Chromecast can be integrated with Google Assistant, further expanding its compatibility with other smart devices in your home.
Both Roku and Chromecast offer the ability to stream content from popular streaming services, and they are compatible with a wide range of apps that support streaming. This means that regardless of the specific apps and services you use, you should be able to find compatibility with either device. However, Roku’s wider range of compatibility options with TVs and audio systems provides more flexibility in integrating with other devices in your home entertainment setup.
When considering compatibility with other devices, it’s important to assess your specific needs and the devices you already have. If you have an older TV or a specific audio setup, Roku’s compatibility may offer more options and flexibility. However, if you primarily use your mobile device for streaming and want seamless integration with Google Assistant and other smart devices, Chromecast can provide a smooth and connected streaming experience.
In summary, Roku’s compatibility with various TVs, audio systems, and home theater setups offers a broader range of options for integration with existing devices. Chromecast’s primary compatibility is with HDMI-enabled TVs and mobile devices, with the added benefit of integration with Google Assistant and other smart devices. Consider your specific device requirements and preferences when deciding which device’s compatibility best suits your needs.

Real Wages Are Increasing for Those in the Bottom Half of the Income Distribution
November 17, 2021
By Joana Duran-Franch, Mike Konczal
Between roughly 56 and 57 percent of occupations, largely concentrated in the bottom half of the income distribution, are seeing real hourly wage increases.
As nominal wages are growing rapidly alongside higher-than-expected inflation, there has been significant interest in the evolution of real wages—wages adjusted for inflation—during the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. A headline in the New York Times, for example, asks: “Wages Are Rising, but Can They Keep Up with Inflation?” One important piece of this question is how real wages have changed along the wage distribution—that is, how are real wages changing for workers who earn the least? This question is difficult to answer accurately given the dramatic changes in the composition of employment during this period. However, in looking at two different estimates of real wage growth by occupations, we find that between roughly 56 and 57 percent of occupations, largely concentrated in the bottom half of the income distribution, are seeing real hourly wage increases. Those occupations represent between 64 and 65 percent of total employment. Real wages, therefore, are increasing for a majority of the population, especially for those who need it the most.
The Challenges of Analyzing Wages during Recessions
It can be difficult to analyze wages during recessions because of composition effects—how the composition of the workforce changes. As the Council of Economic Advisors discussed in April, lower-wage workers are more likely to lose their jobs during recessions, which happened during the pandemic. This causes average wages to increase during the downturn, as lower-wage workers no longer bring down the average. By the same dynamic, lower-wage workers gaining new jobs will also drag down average wage growth during the recovery. This effect can be quite large, making results inaccurate and difficult to examine.
In our analysis, we address composition effects by using occupations as the unit of analysis, as the composition of the labor force within an occupation is less likely to have changed as dramatically as in the whole economy. However, even within the context of an occupation, composition effects might still be playing a role. For this reason, we first look at both real wage growth from September and October 2019 to September and October 2021, and then at wage growth in those same months in 2020 to 2021. The first exercise will examine real wage growth from before the pandemic; as such, the compositional effects will likely be driving up the values, making it a higher boundary of wage increases. The second, starting from within the high unemployment environment of late 2020, will show results where the compositional effects will exert downward pressure on average real wages as more workers return to work. Since the compositional problem will exaggerate these results to be too high and too low, respectively, the most likely answer to this question will be between them.
Real Wage Changes since before the Pandemic
In this first exercise, we rank occupations by their log real hourly wage in September and October 2019 and calculate the change between September and October 2019 and September and October 2021 in each percentile of the real hourly wage distribution. This exercise includes wage information for 367 detailed occupations encompassing all US nonfarm employment. The results are shown below.
Figure 1. Hourly Real Wage Changes by Occupational Percentile, September and October 2019–2021.
Despite rising inflation levels, this shows that real wages are growing at the lowest end of the wage distribution compared to pre-pandemic levels. Relative to the same period in 2019, in September and October 2021, average real wages were higher in most occupational percentiles at the bottom of the wage distribution. Out of the 367 occupations for which there is information both in September 2019 and 2021, 209—57 percent—have seen real mean wage gains over this period. These occupations represented 65 percent of all nonfarm employment in September and October 2021. The average real wage growth for the bottom half of the occupational wage distribution was 6.1 percent over these two years.
Real Wage Changes since Fall of 2020
Our findings are similar in the second exercise, using September and October 2020 as the base. This is despite (i) 2020 being a period of high wages due to composition effects (those who left the labor market during the pandemic were disproportionately lower wage workers); and (ii) September and October 2020 to September and October 2021 being a period in which composition effects added downward pressure on wages as more workers have reentered the labor market.
Figure 2. Hourly Real Wage Changes by Occupational Percentile, September and October 2020–2021.
Relative to the same period in 2020, in September and October 2021, average real hourly wages were higher in most percentiles at the bottom of the wage distribution. Out of the 349 occupations for which there is information available, 196—56 percent—have seen real mean wage gains over this period. These occupations represented 64 percent of all nonfarm employment in September and October 2021. The average wage growth for the bottom half of the occupational hourly wage distribution was 1.4 percent over the last year.1
In both figures above, only the lower 95 percent of the wage distribution is represented in the graphic (but the entire range is kept for the analysis). Due to sampling error and the fact that wages are top-coded for incomes higher than $150,000, we believe the information related to this part of the distribution in this dataset is not capturing reality appropriately. For this reason, we exclude it from the representation. Moreover, many of the larger negative values near the top end of the occupational distribution reflect sampling error on high-wage occupations; that said, the general direction of wages, positive through the middle then negative near the top end, is robust to multiple monthly specifications.
In time, we’ll have better and more accurate data to answer these questions. But the progressive distribution of these wage increases follow what has been found by the Atlanta Fed’s Wage Growth Tracker as well as in analysis of worker wage data by economists Arindrajit Dube and Aaron Sojourner, who also find that real wages are increasing most for those at the bottom of the income distribution. Adding to these, our two exercises also point to real wage growth at the bottom of the income distribution and, by trying to address the compositional effect through occupations, note that a slight majority of workers are likely benefitting from real wage gains during the pandemic and its recovery. As we see, even with a period of higher-than-expected inflation, real hourly wages are increasing for those who most need a raise in our economy.
1. An extra note for caution: These findings need to be taken with an extra bit of caution given that the COVID-19 crisis led to unusually low response rates for the pandemic months and particularly for the rotation groups (whose information is used to compute wages). Response rates were still LOWER THAN USUAL in September 2021. This would not be an issue if nonresponse rates were random given individual characteristics. However, MONTENOVO ET AL. (2021) present evidence of nonrandom attrition for March 2020: Those who did not respond to the March 2020 survey were on average younger, more diverse, and less educated than those who did. In the absence of changes in the demographic composition of the nonrespondents, and in the case they were employed, it might be that part of the rise in average real wages from 2019–2021 we find is related to the fact that those with (traditionally) lower earnings are responding less. However, this would not explain the similar wage growth found at the bottom of the wage distribution between 2020–2021, when the nonresponse rates were both lower than (pre-pandemic) usual and of a similar magnitude.
