Ever since we launched Defender's Quest on Steam, GOG, and other fine stores two weeks ago, I've been doing nothing but support and patches. My brain is about to melt and if I don't carve out some time to do something different every once in a while, I'll explode.
So from now on, every Friday is my "do something else" time. My personal "20% time," if you will, to keep my creative muscles from getting burnt out.
So, I'm prototyping a new game idea. Let's talk about it.
I have Tourette's Syndrome, a fun little brain disease that was a major source of pain in my childhood but which I've since learned to deal with. Although I'm no clinical expert on the syndrome, as a patient I have privileged access to the way the syndrome behaves. I've often thought it could make a cool idea for a game mechanic.
Relax, relax. I'm still going to keep supporting Defender's Quest and we'll probably start working on either FreeLC or a sequel soon, this is just my new Friday hobby time project ;)
So here it is- a basic game idea based on my experiences with Tourette's Syndrome.
Most people's experience with the condition is only through the sensationalized portrayal they see in television and movies. "Movie Tourette's," as I like to call it, obsessively focuses on one lurid and fairly rare symptom called coprolalia, or involuntary cursing. It's a shame the media focuses so much on this one rare thing because it doesn't accurately represent the wide range of symptom "portfolios" that present in the Tourette's population, especially given how rare coprolalia is.
One of the most common Tourette's symptom is compulsive coughing, which occurs despite any actual physical need to cough (such as allergies, cold, etc). Other "mild" symptoms include compulsive eye blinking, muscle twitches, and making quick, short noises. On the extreme physical end of things you have full-body tics, such as punching things, throwing oneself down a flight of stairs, and uncontrollable muscle jerks so severe the patient risks self-injury. Extreme verbal tics can be just as bizarre - spontaneously bursting into song, rattling off paragraph-length chains of nonsense, and of course, obscenities.
Tics cannot be effectively "suppressed" through force of will alone. At best a patient can delay tics for a while, at the cost of making them worse later. Beyond the physical challenges in living inside a body that constantly short-circuits, social spaces can be difficult to navigate, because Tourette's Syndrome turns you into a very annoying human being, and there's not always much you can do about it.
I could write a whole book on what it's like to live with the disease, but this is a game design blog, so let's talk about the prototype.
All sorts of things increase stress. Just walking into a room with more than few npc's or monsters in it is inherently stressful, for instance. This, and all other aspects of the game, are based on my life experiences - for instance, friends have noted that my tics sharply increase whenever there's more than three people in the room. Monsters can attack you, which makes you lose health and/or gain stress.
The more stress you have, the more likely you are to have tics. You usually get a little warning about this - you can see in the above screenshot that the character is about to cough. He can try to suppress this by holding spacebar until the tic passes, but this will increase his stress level and make future tics more likely. Additionally, the little thought bubble overlay provides a tiny distraction and trying to juggle the knowledge that you're about to have a tic with second-to-second combat decisions is a pretty close analogue to my life, when I'm carrying on a conversation with someone and I just know I'm about to tell them "Your face reminds me of a watermelon carved into a bust of your face*"
Actual tic. This is one of the milder ones.
Your goal for each floor is to make it to the stairwell at the end of the maze and advance to the next dungeon. You start each dungeon with a fixed amount of keys*, which are like the "fuel" system in FTL - unlocking a room costs 1 key. If you gun right for the exit, you'll have plenty of keys left over, which you can cash in for extra hours of sleep, clearing out your stress and giving you a leg up on your symptoms:
If you choose to burn the midnight oil, however, you can explore every nook and cranny of the current floor, and stock up on resources, items, and other useful loot, at the cost of diminished sleep and loads of symptoms to contend with on the next floor. If you run out of keys entirely, you can sacrifice a bomb to just blow the door up, or spend hearts to get through.
**The key mechanic is directly inspired by Christine Miserandino's "Spoon Theory" metaphor, which comes from her personal story about living with Lupus, and is a great way to explain the intangible "resource" costs of these kinds of diseases to outsiders.
|Coughing annoys people. Also monsters!|
The real challenge in designing this prototype is that I'm modeling a system that takes away control, and a fundamental rule of game design is that you never take away control.
Rules are meant to be broken, of course, but they're there for a reason - if I'm going to yank control away with something as invasive as Tourette's Syndrome, I need to be very careful about how I do that so the player still has enough tools at their disposal so that winning or losing follows from how well they play the game.
What I'm aiming for is a play style where you don't have perfect control over your minute-to-minute actions, so you take that control back on a larger, zoomed-out scale. You have to carefully manage what situations you let yourself get into, think about what risks you want to take, and conserve your physical and mental resources. Often, you'll have to sacrifice going after something you want if you're not prepared to deal with the symptomatic consequences. This is exactly how I handle Tourette's symptoms in real life, and I think it could make a cool game.
If you'd like to see more Tourette's quest, then do me a favor and buy a copy of Defender's Quest for yourself or a friend so I can afford to pursue crazy side projects like this one!
Update: all prototype versions are listed here:
Version 0.0.0 - November 09, 2012
Version 0.0.1 - November 12, 2012
It's windows only for now and thrown together in Game Maker. You move with the arrow keys, attack with X, and suppress tics with SPACE. If you run out of hearts, you die.
Stress is currently measured in both positive and negative units - so just like in my own life, doing things that make you happy and excited, such as getting loot, actually increase your symptoms. Stress (both positive and negative) goes down whenever you enter a new room, but goes up if there's a lot of monsters in it. Rooms are "labeled" so you can anticipate what's in there before venturing forth, which is key to risk management. The stress system is likely to go through a lot of iterations before the end.
There's only two monster types right now - goblins and "nostriloks." Nostriloks increase your stress but are otherwise harmless, and goblins can hurt you, but start off asleep until awoken by an attack or a cough. The idea behind the nostrils is that the word "Nostrils!" is my most frequent verbal tic. One idea I had is that this could be a magical world where magic is done by incantation - so being a wizard with Tourette's is a severe liability. Every time you have the "Nostrils!" tic you'll say the word and summon a Nostrilok. Normally this isn't a problem, but if you have a lot of stress you could fill up the room with minor enemies and get yourself into a bad situation pretty quickly. This, along with a million other ideas, isn't implemented yet.
You can collect money, but it doesn't do anything just yet, nor can you use bombs, or magic, or anything other than your sword for right now. So, let me know what you think and if you have any feedback. I have no idea where I'm going to take this thing or even if it's going to turn into a full-fledged game or not, but I felt like sharing.
Also, graphics, sound, and visual glitches will intentionally remain terrible throughout the entire prototyping phase. I find whenever I try to polish the assets up I start getting needlessly attached and it interferes with just finding a good central design. | <urn:uuid:ec2a2857-8ea3-4d71-9149-08635bd0743a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.fortressofdoors.com/tourettes-quest/ | 2023-09-26T04:42:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.964894 | 1,885 |

The middle of the semester can be a really stressful time. Work is piling up, end of the semester project deadlines are looming, you’ve got life stuff going on, and now you have to take a bunch of tests!
Take a deep breath. You can do this. Let’s break it down.
Make a plan
- Make a to-do list. Write down everything you need to do (study for Chem test, write History paper, finish Psych presentation, grocery shop). Write down when everything is due. How to prioritize your list is up to you. Some possibilities:
- Organize by due date. Look at your syllabi. What’s due first? Do that first. You’ll definitely want to do this if something is due immediately.
- Organize by length of assignment. You might feel a sense of accomplishment if you can knock a bunch of little stuff out first. Then you can use that momentum to tackle the big stuff!
- Do what you like best first. If English is your favorite class, do that first. Only do this, if you know you’ll do the other stuff later.
- Save the best for last. Use your favorite class as a reward.
- Do the hardest work first, while your brain is still fresh. Save easy work for when you’re feeling tired.
- Break things up into small chunks. Make your workload feel manageable. Don’t plan to sit down and write a paper for seven hours. Schedule some breaks. Have a snack. Take a nap.
- See if you can work less. Look at your budget. Can you afford to take a few days off or give away a couple of shifts?
The day before a big test:
- Get some rest. Your brain needs time to process what you’re learning. Shoot for a cool eight hours of sleep if possible.
- Pack your bag. The night before a big exam, make sure you have everything you need for the next day: pens, pencils, calculator, a snack, your textbooks, or whatever else you need to be successful.
The day of a big test
- Eat breakfast. Don’t eat anything too heavy. Don’t load up on sugary cereals. Eat a balanced meal with protein and complex carbs, like eggs and oatmeal. Some people don’t like breakfast, but try to grab a banana or a granola bar on your way out the door.
- Review a little, but don’t cram before the test. | <urn:uuid:93a26830-966d-4f6e-869e-a11c9d573a55> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.fosteru.org/on-campus/studytips/how-to-make-it-through-midterms/ | 2023-09-26T06:12:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.906605 | 534 |
If you want to know how to clean a French drain the right way, we’ve got the article for you. Here you’ll learn how you can clean/maintain a French drain, what French drains are for, and how to tell if your French drain is working.
What Are French Drains?
French drains are usually placed in areas of your yard prone to pooling water. If you live below a hill, water could be draining toward your home. So, the best solution is to divert that incoming water to another part of your property away from your home. Otherwise, water can absorb into the soil around your foundation and cause problems such as water seepage, bowing basement walls, or structural cracks. Other problems might include dead grass, pest infestations, and more.
How To Clean A French Drain The Right Way
There are a few ways you can clean your French drain.
Rent an electric sewer snake – If you rent a motor-powered sewer snake, you can most likely clear out any debris built up in your French drain. All you have to do is feed the cable into your drain until you feel resistance. Once you reach the clog, retract the cable and free the cutter. Either the cable will find its way around the clog, or it will cut through it. Repeat the process until you’ve pulled out most of the clog.
Use a hose – After snaking your French drain, feed a garden hose into the drain and turn it on. For the best results, feed the hose into the drain at the same time as the sewer snake.
Call a professional – If you can’t clear the clog yourself, or you don’t want to risk damaging your French drain, we recommend calling in a professional. They’ll most likely use hydro-jetting to flush out the clog. Hydro-jetting is when up to 4,000 PSI of water is shot into your French drain. Only professionals should handle hydro-jetting equipment because sometimes, your French drain may be too weak to handle the pressure.
How To Maintain A French Drain
Here are a few things you should know about maintaining a French drain.
Inspections – French drains can clog up with debris over time. If you want to make sure your clogs never get too big, schedule a CCTV video inspection to investigate the integrity of your French drain.
Placement – French drains are placed right underneath your grass. You should never park your car or drive heavy machinery on top of them. If you want, add small marker flags near your French drain so that you can easily see where it’s located.
Replacement – If groundwater conditions change or your area experiences heavy flooding, you might want to install additional French drains or replace the one you have with a larger pipe.
How to Tell If Your French Drain Is Working
The easiest way to determine if your French drain is working is by looking at your lawn. If water is pooling on your property near your French drain’s location, chances are it’s not working properly.
When water seeps through the soil and into your French drain, it often brings along sediment (small rocks and hard dirt). Over time, the sediment can build up and turn into large clogs. This can slow or stop the water flow completely.
Another way of telling if your French drain is working is by calling in the professional who built it or another foundation waterproofing expert.
How Much Do French Drains Cost?
The average cost of a French drain depends on where it’s located. French drains placed inside your basement or outside your foundation walls (also called drain tile systems) usually cost around $0.50 to $3 per linear foot. You could be looking to spend around $500 all the way to $18,000. It’s all based on how much pipe is needed, where it’s located, and how much work is needed to install it. Here are some key factors that make up the price for French drains.
Labor – How much work is needed to install your French drain?
Permits – What kind of permits are needed to begin working?
Type and materials – Sometimes, different cities require different material types.
Location – Where is your French drain being installed?
Size, length, and depth – How much pipe is needed, and how far down do builders need to dig to install it?
Inspection – Some cities require an inspection before the French drain is covered with soil, gravel, or concrete.
Soil content – The kind of soil on your property will affect how hard it is to install your French drain.
Irrigation ditch or dry well – Do experts need to build an irrigation ditch to dispose of collected water?
Sump pump – French drains placed inside your basement (drain tile systems) require a sump pump to eject collected water out of your home.

A recent arrest has led to a major beak in an unsolved Texas cold case that is nearly three decades old, according to reports. San Angelo residents Sally McNally, 18, and Shane Stewart, 17, were reported missing in July 1988 and found shot to death five months later.
The break in the case came nearly 29 years later on June 11 when 47-year-old John Gilbreath was arrested after deputies said they found marijuana and a gun in his car, Fox San Angelo reports.
The station reported that deputies went to Gilbreath’s home in San Angelo and executed a search warrant for evidence related to drug trafficking.
During the search evidence tied to Sally and Shane's murders was seized, authorities said.

It’s that time of the year again! Sukkot, also known as the Festival of Ingathering, commemorates the gathering of crops and the Israelites’ journey through the desert. It celebrates the ways we are held by a wider circle of love and care. The pandemic impacted the way and frequency in which we gathered over the last couple of years. Your Community Building Ministry has worked very hard this year to provide opportunities for our church family to reconnect as one. Progress has been slow, but each event has been designed to draw you out of the wilderness of the world and into fellowship with one another. As we celebrate Ingathering this year, let us draw strength from this time of renewal and take this time to reaffirm our connectedness to one another and to our wider community.
This call to action asks you to:
Be gathered into the Church for service and a time for feasting and fellowship afterward.
Bring finger food to add to the communal feast (no signup this time, just surprise us).
Bring an offering for our food basket, which will go to those in need.

A statement from the Ministry of Health said that the country had recorded a third case of the virus on Monday and that “all three cases of the Mpox virus are in home isolation and do not require hospital care at this time.
“Additionally, 2,800 doses of the vaccine were procured to be administered to non-symptomatic close contacts and health care professionals in any facility where a patient would be warded. To date, no vaccines have been administered,” the ministry said in the statement.
The ministry said that the first case “in this current global outbreak was identified in May 2022 and peaked in August 2022.
“During this period, the Ministry of Health ensured that all protocols for testing, contact tracing and isolation were implemented, inclusive of sensitisation of medical professionals,” the statement said, adding that the Caura Hospital has since been designated “as the facility to care for any patient that may require hospitalisation if necessary”.
The ministry said that three confirmed cases, Trinidad and Tobago is now the 113th country to record active cases and that the Ministry of Health “is a self-limiting disease in most instances, and it is commonly spread by close contact with a positive case”. | <urn:uuid:7f675373-511f-4611-b3ce-7e9b2827741f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.freedomskn.com/trinidad-records-third-case-of-mpox-virus/ | 2023-09-26T06:10:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.965533 | 258 |

These advertisements are constantly trying to persuade into purchasing the product or products being marketed. Thus, it is of importance that we as society have an understanding of the strategies used by marketers.

It is important to analyze advertisements because by doing so you are uncovering the marketer’s strategies The title of Ad A “want to feel seductive wear this” published on March, 2017, page 63 appeared in Cosmopolitan magazine. In Ad A, there is a beautiful woman with seductive eyes, dark hair, and tattoos all over her back. It’s a dark dreary night she is soaked and wet from the rain coming down on her. She has olive skin with beautiful full looking eyebrows with ruby red lipstick on her lips with her mouth slightly open. She has this ravishing silver blouse on that has an open v shape back that shows off her tattoos. She is looking over her right shoulder with her eyes looking down. The words in the middle of the page read, “Ruby Rose is wearing Backtalk,” and below it, the lipstick is called Vice Liquid Lipstick. The magazine states it has “20+ addictive, High-intensity colors, waterproof, kiss proof, and life proof.” Then it says below the additives in bold letters, “lipstick is my vice.” Shuck 2The title of Ad B “Want to Shine wear this” published on March, 2017, page 21 appeared in Comsopolitan magazine.

Rubbing the Right Way: The Infectious Sounds and Long Evolution of Zydeco Music
Louisiana Zydeco Musicians
It’s Thursday night at the Mid-City Lanes Rock ‘n’ Bowl (4133 S. Carrollton Ave., 504-482-3133), a vintage, second-floor bowling alley located near the geographic center of New Orleans. Bowlers are rolling strikes and gutter balls on the lanes, but the attention of most in the crowd tonight is focused on the stage. Thursday is zydeco night at Rock ‘n’ Bowl – which also functions as a music hall – and most of the people have come to dance. In a moment, the accordion, rubboard, drums and guitar ring from the stage, the singer begins hollering a mixture of Creole French and English lyrics about love and loss and the wooden floor fills once again with dancing couples.
Zydeco is as distinctive a component of Louisiana culture as crawfish, hot sauce and bayou landscapes, and like many things Louisianan, its colorful traditions and intricate history lend it a distinctive style among other genres of music.
At its essence, zydeco is the dance music of the black Creoles of southwest Louisiana and east Texas, says Michael Tisserand, whose book “The Kingdom of Zydeco” tells the story of the music and the communities that produced it. Though it started in the swampy bayou lands in the early part of the 20th century, it has exploded in popularity in the past few decades. It’s common to find zydeco festivals in California and the Northeast and Louisiana bands can now tour the world with their music.
“The reason for its enduring popularity at local dancehalls and at stages everywhere else is pretty obvious – it’s hard to stand still when you’re hearing great zydeco,” says Tisserand.
Sure enough, wherever a zydeco band is performing, feet begin moving, bodies begin swaying and couples come together for fast-paced dancing or slow-tempo waltzes. There is a dancing style universally called zydeco dancing, but the music is so infectious that people hearing it for the first time are often drawn to the dance floor to do their own thing.
Cajun or Zydeco?
One common point of confusion for visitors and new initiates to zydeco music is its relationship to Cajun music. Just as Cajun and Creole cooking are often equated, so too are Cajun music and zydeco often mistaken as two different names for the same thing. Like the cuisines, they do share much in common – most importantly the accordion that is so prominent in each genre – but each developed under its own set of influences and have unique sounds and styles. Cajun music comes primarily from the traditions of the French-speaking Cajuns who came to Louisiana from modern-day Nova Scotia, while zydeco music reflects the African-Caribbean roots of its players, Tisserand explains. The fiddle turns up in Cajun music while the rubboard (that corrugated metal plate that looks like an old fashioned laundry device) is a lead sound in zydeco. And while Cajun music has incorporated more stylings from country music, zydeco has picked up more of its own contemporary influences from blues and R&B.
“The histories of the two styles of music are deeply intertwined, and there are Cajun musicians who play zydeco, and zydeco musicians who play Cajun. Basically, you just can’t tell a musician what they can and can’t play,” Tisserand says. “Face it, it’s Louisiana, and everything’s all mixed up together in the most wonderful of ways.”
The word “zydeco” has its own colorful history. It is derived from les haricots, French for beans. One commonly cited explanation for the evolution of the word goes back to a Creole expression: “les haricots sont pas sales,” or “the beans aren’t salty” – a reference to hard times when families could not afford salted meat to season their beans. One of the first recognized zydeco artists was Amede Ardoin, who made numerous recordings in the late 1920s and 1930s, setting the standard for generations to come. His own family legacy provided plenty of its own zydeco history along the way, and now his descendants Sean Ardoin and Chris Ardoin both front Lake Charles-based bands that often visit New Orleans. Clifton Chenier took the mantle of “king of zydeco” and during the 1950s and ’60s blended in R&B and rock sounds for a more swinging evolution of zydeco. The styles of today’s players now span from traditionalists like Boozoo Chavis to wide-ranging and flamboyant Buckwheat Zydeco.
Because zydeco is so strongly associated with the culture of south Louisiana, visitors to New Orleans are often surprised to find that relatively few clubs offer live zydeco music on a regular basis. Jazz, New Orleans-style brass bands, blues, rock and funk are much more prevalent in the city than either zydeco or Cajun music. That’s because most zydeco musicians come from southwestern Louisiana and east Texas – from the communities in and around Lafayette, Lake Charles and Houston – and when they aren’t touring the country or abroad tend to play closer to home.
But visitors usually stand a good chance of finding some live zydeco on any given night in New Orleans. The richest local harvest of zydeco comes when a New Orleans music festival is taking place – especially the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival (www.nojazzfest.com), the French Quarter Festival (www.fqfi.org) – both held in the spring – and the Swamp Fest (www.auduboninstitute.org), held Uptown in the fall. Year-round, the most reliable venue to find zydeco in New Orleans is Mid-City Lanes Rock ‘n’ Bowl, an inviting venue for local regulars and visitors alike where some of the top names in zydeco hold court on the stage. In the French Quarter, some clubs on Bourbon Street periodically host zydeco acts, especially the Old Opera House (601 Bourbon St., 504-522-3265), where Dwayne Dopsie and the Hellraisers frequently play when they are not touring. Also, Bruce “Sunpie” Barnes – the one-time Kansas City Chiefs pro football player – plays a blend of zydeco, Caribbean and blues music with his band Sunpie and the Louisiana Sunspots. They regularly perform at venues around New Orleans, where Barnes also works as a ranger at the National Park Service’s French Quarter unit (419 Decatur St., 504-589-4841).
For recorded zydeco, check out the extensive selection of CDs at the Louisiana Music Factory (210 Decatur St., 504-586-1094).

Below is a recipe for mead from the 17th century "To every quart of Honey, take four quarts of water. Put your water in a clean Kettle over the fire, and with a stick take the just measure, how high the water cometh, making a notch, where the superficies toucheth the stick. As soon as the water is warm, put in your Honey, and let it boil, skimming it always, till it be very clean;
Then put to every Gallon of water, one pound of the best Blew-raisins of the Sun, first clean picked from the stalks, and clean washed. Let them remain in the boiling Liquor, till they be throughly swollen and soft; Then take them out, and put them into a Hair-bag, and strain all the juice and pulp and substance from them in an Apothecaries Press; which put back into your liquor, and let it boil, till it be consumed just to the notch you took at first, for the measure of your water alone.
Then let your Liquor run through a Hair-strainer into an empty Woodden-fat, which must stand endwise, with the head of the upper-end out; and there let it remain till the next day, that the liquor be quite cold.
Then Tun it up into a good Barrel, not filled quite full, but within three or four fingers breadth; (where Sack hath been, is the best) and let the bung remain open for six weeks with a double bolter-cloth lying upon it, to keep out any foulness from falling in.
Then stop it up close, and drink not of it till after nine months. This Meathe is singularly good for a Consumption, Stone, Gravel, Weak-sight, and many more things. A Chief Burgomaster of Antwerpe, used for many years to drink no other drink but this; at Meals and all times, even for pledging of healths. And though He were an old man, he was of an extraordinary vigor every way, and had every year a Child, had always a great appetite, and good digestion; and yet was not fat."
Simplified this is mead made very much like today yeast is found in the “sack’ barrel and raisins. Standard for boiling water is very different then today the smallest bubbles where a boil. I am going to use this theory and try the recipe.
Next is From norsetradesman.com
Equipment & IngredientsTo initiate a wild fermentation you’ll need the following equipment and ingredients:
Next, place the vessel in a warm, dark corner (about 70 degrees F / 21 C with no direct sunlight is ideal) and cover with a cloth, keeping the stir stick in or laying it carefully across the top of the vessel. You will want to return to the vessel at least three times daily to give the must (unfermented mead) a vigorous stir for 2-3 minutes at a time. This will incorporate any yeast that has dropped in from the air or is on the ingredients into the overall liquid. It also provides aeration, which is important for a strong fermentation.
Ancient cultures such as the Vikings would have saw this as a mystical process. Some would meditate quietly, sing, chant, or invoke their preferred god(s); while others would yell, dance, and bang on things loudly. The goal was to wake up the bryggjemann or “brewing spirits.” Give it a try – come up with your own ritual. In about five days (sometimes longer in the winter), you’ll give it a stir and will be greeted by a fizzy, foamy head on what is now officially mead.
You can have a quicker fermentation (1-2 days) by adding a packet (5 g) of commercial yeast once you’ve added all of the other ingredients. However, the aeration is still important, so you should still keep it in an open vessel and stir a couple of times a day. At this point you have a mead starter, which you can then use in place of packaged yeast to start a new mead.
I am not going to do open air I am going to use a Air lock and see how it goes wish me luck!

In the summer of this year, FRIEDRICH VORWERK in Tostedt was awarded the contract for the realization of part of the connecting pipeline for the LNG terminal in Wilhelmshaven. The order covers the construction section from Sillenstede near Schortens to the NETRA pipeline near the gas storage facility in Etzel. Work on the construction of a jetty for floating LNG terminals in Wilhelmshaven began back in May this year. Two floating LNG terminals are to be connected there by the end of the year.
The official start of construction of the tie-in pipeline was August 22, 2022, and since then the VORWERK and Bohlen & Doyen teams have been working at full speed to ensure that the pipeline construction is completed by December 02, 2022. Thanks to the excellent work of the team, we were able to realize this deadline 18 days earlier.
At peak times, around 170 workers were working on the project. There were 27 crawler cranes in operation, which is quite unusual and is due to the fact that we could only carry out the pipe-laying safely with crawler cranes due to the prevailing ground conditions.
In October, the pipe-laying and bending activities were completed. Until then, we had to drive about 7,000 tons of sheet piles because of the ground conditions. Each week, approx. 60 trucks with sheet piling material were unloaded and delivered to the corresponding approx. 90 locations in the construction field. In addition, the main part of the activities concentrated on pipe trenching, lowering and connecting the pipes, and backfilling in a timely manner.
In parallel, station construction was carried out at the GDRM facility in Horsten/Friedeburg and at the LSE station in Schortens. The construction progress of the prefabricated spools could be followed on a daily basis - these were pre-welded in Wiesmoor, already tested and accepted. The stations were handed over on schedule and ready for operation in December.
On 12.12. the connection to the existing long-distance line NETRA is to be carried out. In addition, the first construction roads are already being removed and the construction site is being prepared for winter. Our subsidiary EPS is carrying out the last pigging and drying operations.
Next year, as soon as the weather permits, the final work, such as the installation of the drainage and the topsoil restoration, will be carried out before the construction project can finally be handed over to the customer. | <urn:uuid:a48e89b5-92e2-4422-a2f8-94e323f97a7b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.friedrich-vorwerk.de/en/news/news-and-projects/wilhelmshaven-connecting-pipeline-wal.html | 2023-09-26T06:41:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.973235 | 535 |
WHAT IS A MASONIC LODGE
The Masonic Lodge is the foundational organization unit of Freemasonry. It is comprised of a group of Freemasons, and resides under the Grand Lodge of its jurisdiction.
Lebanon Masonic Lodge is a Texas Masonic Lodge under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of Texas. A Grand Lodge issues charters for all Masonic Lodges to be official.
In Texas, all Masonic Lodges Chartered under the Masonic Grand Lodge of Texas are A.F. & A.M. Masonic Lodges, which stands for Ancient Free & Accepted Masons. The Masonic Grand Lodge is the highest authority of Masonry for its members, so there is nothing “higher” in Masonry than the Masonic Grand Lodge of Texas for Texas Freemasons.
Lebanon Lodge was Chartered under the Grand Lodge of Texas in December of 1899. Lebanon is one of the fastest growing and most diverse Lodges in the state.
MASONIC LODGE LEVELS OR LODGE ORGANIZATION
Every “Blue Lodge” or regular working Masonic Lodge in the world is made up of three primary Masonic Lodge Levels, or Degrees. These are different stages of membership within the Freemason Society.
The three prime Lodge levels are the Entered Apprentice (EA), the Fellowcraft (FC), and the Master Mason (MM). Each Lodge is divided up into three sub Lodges which are made up of each of these Masonic Lodge levels.
In other words, each Masonic Lodge is comprised of an Entered Apprentice Lodge, a Fellowcraft Lodge, and a Master Mason’s Lodge. You must pass your Masonic Degrees to be admitted into the subsequent Masonic Degree and thus attendance for the higher Lodges is dependent on your participation, and advancement in the lower Lodges and Degrees.
MASONIC LODGE NUMBERS
All Texas Masonic Lodge’s are chartered with Lodge names and with Masonic Lodge Numbers. Lebanon Masonic Lodge is Chartered as Masonic Lodge Number 837. Our number reflects that we are the 837th Masonic Lodge chartered in Texas.
MASONIC LODGE BELIEFS
Freemasons are free to believe just about whatever they want, which is why our membership is comprised of so many men of differing political views, religions, interests, and professions. There is no “dogma” of official Masonic Lodge Beliefs as a unified ideology that we all follow.
That being said, there is a system or framework of Masonic beliefs that hold us all together as a global society, and which we can all loosely agree upon. Those Masonic Lodge beliefs are:
Belief in a higher power. Lodges don’t define what that is, but to be a Freemason, you must believe that there is something higher than yourself.
The immortality of the soul. Masons do believe that the nature of their existence, will continue to exist, in some form, for all of eternity
Brotherly love. We are taught to love each other and all of human kind.
Relief. We believe that we should provide relief for this in a true need of it.
Truth. We believe that there are in fact universal truths, and that the rational mind can come to understand and know those truths, and it is the job of the rational seeker to pursue these truths.
So while Freemasons do not all collectively believe in the same religion, follow the same interpretation of God, agree on who they are going to vote for in the next election, or just about anything else for that matter, all Freemasons agree in these five basic understandings or Masonic Lodge beliefs of how to live and build a good life with one another.
CLANDESTINE OR NON-RECOGNIZED MASONIC LODGES
If you are looking to join a Lodge, beware that unfortunately there are many conmen posing themselves as Grand Master’s and Grand Lodges. Make sure the Masonic Lodge you look to petition for membership is recognized by other Jurisdictions, or else you will not be able to network with the regular Masons throughout the world. Likewise, if you join a non-regular Masonic Lodge, or a clandestine Masonic Lodge, as Masons call them, then you may be scammed into joining an organization that does not have any knowledge of the Masonic Secrets.
If you join a non recognized lodge, you may also be conned into paying extremely high dues and degree fees, as well as be subjected to hazing.
Joining a Masonic Lodge is a noble experience and should be treated as such, so please do your research when searching for a Lodge to insure you join a regular and recognized Masonic Lodge. You will want to make sure that you are joining a regular Blue Masonic Lodge and becoming a Blue Lodge Mason to enjoy all the benefits of Brotherhood.
MASONIC LODGE MEMBERSHIP
Masonic Lodge membership is comprised of males that are of age to join a Freemason Lodge. In Texas joining a Lodge requires you to be at least 18 years of age, however in many circumstances, it is recommended that young men wait until they feel they are in a stable place in life before petitioning a Masonic Lodge. Joining a Masonic Lodge is a huge responsibility, meant to be a lifetime of commitment and it is highly recommended that you fully know yourself, and who you want to be in life before requesting membership into a Lodge.
If you would like to become a Lodge member, you can fill out a Masonic Lodge application. You will need five signatures of members of the Fraternity in order to be eligible to be voted upon for membership. Masonry is not like most other organizations in the world today. You will never be reached out to and asked to join. you must reach out to Lodge members and ask of them to join. Despite what people think, being asked to join a Lodge is actually a popular myth. Freemasons are forbidden from “recruiting” membership or “evangelizing” for the Fraternity.
If you petition a Lodge, and are successfully admitted into this Great Society, you will be a Lodge Member upon receiving your Master Mason’s Degree, and you will be entitled to attend all regular Masonic Lodge Meetings, both at your Masonic Lodge, and elsewhere.

Manuel Veth –
It is not quite a done deal yet, but by all indications, Bayer Leverkusen should sign former Norwegian wunderkind Martin Ødegaard from Real Madrid in the coming days. Whether the 20-year-old will join Bayer Leverkusen on loan or on one of Real Madrid’s famous buyback agreements remains to be seen but one thing is for certain this is a deal that has the potential to work out well for all parties involved.
For Martin Ødegaard, in fact, the move to Leverkusen could finally be the opportunity to test his skills at the highest level in the Bundesliga and also the Champions League. The sort of level of football Ødegaard hoped he would regularly experience when he joined Real Madrid from Strømsgodset IF in 2015.
Just 16 at the time it may have, however, been a step too far for the teenager. Although no-one truly expected that Ødegaard would get first-team minutes right away there was an understanding that he would be allowed to train a certain amount with the first team while playing for Real’s reserve side.
Martin Ødegaard – Real Madrid a step back
But perhaps the now 20-year-old expected to make gains on the training pitch a bit to fast, in fact, in football, it is all about patience and at times Ødegaard struggled in Real’s setup. Unlike other sports where you can simply head to SteroidsFax to increase your gains, Real asked for patience and hard work. Ødegaard, however, struggled with both at times and after two years in which he played just once for Real Madrid’s first team was loaned out.
In January 2017 the Norwegian was loaned out to SC Heerenveen in the Netherlands. Over the next 18 months, he made 38 appearances and scored three goals.
Good, but not outstanding. Hence, Real Madrid opted to loan out Ødegaard for a second time last summer. At this stage, his reputation as the world’s next superstar had already taken a hit.
Once regarded a future Ballon d’Or winner and a world star that could reach the levels of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo Martin Ødegaard now appeared ordinary. At the same time, Ødegaard simply suffered the fate of a player, who at the age of 15, may have been simply ahead of his development.
Furthermore, no development curve is continuously upwards, and with Real Madrid, Ødegaard may have simply asked for too much as his first club in a top European league. Therefore, when Ødegaard joined Vitesse Arnhem last summer only a few took notice, some even just shrugged pointing out that he may have peaked too early.
Ødegaard, however, made the most of his opportunity. In 39 games across all competitions, the 20-year-old scored 11 goals and 12 assists. As a result, his transfer evaluation on Transfermarkt catapulted from €4 million to €15 million.
Furthermore, already written off by most clubs the Norwegian all of a sudden highlighted why he was named among the best prospects of his generation back in 2015. Hence, with the end of his loan this summer several clubs, including Champions League semifinalist Ajax Amsterdam attempted to sign the player.
Bayer Leverkusen, looking for a replacement for Julian Brandt, who will leave the club for Borussia Dortmund this summer, identified Martin Ødegaard as the ideal player to fill that role. Meanwhile, Real Madrid have had good experiences when it comes to developing their players in Germany and in Daniel Carvajal, a player, who had his first breakthrough during a loan spell at die Werkself.
Martin Ødegaard – Can he replace Julian Brandt?
“He is an interesting player for us,” Bayer Leverkusen’s sporting director Simon Rolfes said about Ødegaard to Bild recently. But is he the sort of player that can fill the void left by Julian Brandt?
With the caveat that Ødegaard played in a less competitive league last season, we have taken a closer look at the two players’ numbers from last season. Three years younger than Brandt, Ødegaard managed to be slightly more productive than the German national team player. Whereas Brandt scored 0.25 goals per 90 minutes, Ødegaard managed 0.28 goals every 90 minutes.
When it comes to successful attacking actions last season, Ødegaard’s stats are also favourable. Only Leon Bailey managed more successful actions per 90 minutes (8.03) than Martin Ødegaard. Meanwhile, Brandt managed more assists (0.33 per 90 minutes) than the 20-year-old Norwegian national team player (0.28).
In terms of expected Assists, however, Martin Ødegaard (16.88) led over Julian Brandt’s 11.11 xAs. In fact, Ødegaard would rank first among all Bayer players in that category had he been with the club last season.
Again those numbers have to be taken with the grain of salt that they were produced in the high scoring Eredivisie. Furthermore, Brandt was not always playing in an attacking role last season but was often brought back to play in a central midfield role.
Almost like Bastian Schweinsteiger did under Louis van Gaal, Brandt, in fact, has somewhat revolutionised his game under Peter Bosz last season. Hence, it is not surprising that Brandt led Bayer with 53.57 passes per 90 minutes and was third with 82.55% completed passes per 90 minutes.
It would be difficult to imagine for Ødegaard to fill that void right away. But with 39.11 passes per 90 minutes, he would already rank fifth in Bayer’s current squad, and his 82.16% completed passes ranks just slightly below Brandt’s numbers in that category. Furthermore, Ødegaard, similar to Brandt, might be a dynamic winger, but unlike the German national team player more often goes into dribbling rather than looking to lay the ball off or play a pass.
In fact, Ødegaard averaged 6.97 dribblings per 90 minutes for Vitesse last season. More than any Bayer Leverkusen player, including dribble machine Leon Bailey (6.54 dribbles per 90 minutes). That, however, does not mean that Bosz might play Martin Ødegaard in a box-to-box role. After all, Naby Keïta, at RB Leipzig, and Thiago, at Bayern, have both excelled in the role as fantastic dribblers and in some ways Ødegaard could add an interesting dimension to Bosz’s 4-3-3 setup next season and fill the void left by Brandt.

Management and Conservation
The J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge achieves its goal of conserving wildlife by managing wildlife habitat. Refuge managers and biologists make concerted efforts to restore, enhance, and protect habitat types against the ever changing conditions found on the Refuge.
In the late 1960s the Refuge built a dike through the estuary to create two areas of impounded water in an effort to control mosquito populations. For many years, the water level was kept high during the mosquito breeding season in an attempt to prevent mosquitoes from laying their eggs on the exposed mud flats. Unfortunately, this also degraded the overall health of the habitat in the impoundments and reduced their usefulness for all wildlife.
Today, the water levels follow the natural tidal fluctuations. The water levels in the impoundments are artificially lowered only to coincide with the spring and fall shorebird migrations in order to provide optimal feeding habitat for the hundreds of birds that use the Refuge as a refueling area.
Exotic plants can quickly invade Refuge lands and out-compete native plants, degrading habitat necessary for wildlife. To combat the invasion, the Refuge staff chemically and mechanically treats hundreds of acres of non-native plants, such as Brazilian Pepper and Australian Pine.
Prescribed fires are used to maintain a variety of plant communities, mimic natural fire cycles, and reduce devastating fire conditions. Controlled fire help wildlife by enhancing new plant growth, eliminating thick undergrowth, and controlling non-native plants.
Scientists from the Refuge and partner organizations study wildlife populations and habitat conditions to ensure management and public use actions benefit a healthy ecosystem.
The mission of the National Wildlife Refuge System Law Enforcement program is:
"Through education and enforcement we protect our employees, volunteers, and visitors; safeguard the public’s investment in facilities and equipment; and protect the integrity of the habitat and the wildlife resources of the National trust resource which is the 150 million acre National Wildlife Refuge System.”
Laws and Regulations

Welp, G4 is dead again, thanks to Comcast doing the Comcast thing it does. But I did get contracted to make some fun interstitials for the network and it was a lot of fun while it lasted. Will this site ever get updated? Probably not – there’s tons of people posting old G4 stuff to youtube, hunting down those VHS tapes, streaming old episodes and from people who have more time to do it than I do anymore. There’s not a huge need for a site like this anymore – although I would like to maybe do a more comprehensive wiki that documents the actual history, behind and front of the cameras someday. Maybe in time for G4’s third coming?
In the meantime the G4 Discord is alive and well and safe from deletion, a great resource for finding thing or asking dumb questions like “What year did Cheat! change it’s logo again??” | <urn:uuid:96e58013-534f-4f52-8874-9ddbd3dec79d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.g4rewind.com/g4-is-not-back/ | 2023-09-26T05:15:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.946353 | 205 |
In the Caribbean region, the lifetime risk of active tuberculosis (TB) in purified protein derivative (PPD)-positive HIV-infected patients is 50%. Screening of individuals with cough who came to an HIV voluntary counseling and testing center in Haiti revealed active TB in 33% of patients. TB prophylaxis is effective in preventing active disease in HIV-infected individuals, and secondary prophylaxis has been shown to reduce recurrence in patients diagnosed with TB at more advanced stages of immunosuppression. Recommendations for anti-TB therapy differ according to whether antiretroviral therapy is available or not and according to whether the TB diagnosis is made while the patient is receiving antiretroviral therapy or not. This article summarizes a presentation by Jean William Pape, MD, at the first CHART Caribbean Conference on the Clinical Management of HIV/AIDS in Montego Bay, Jamaica in June 2004. | <urn:uuid:08bd6c41-4273-47a0-a8d3-41de61eb308f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.gabriel-network.org/publications/tuberculosis-and-hiv-in-the-caribbean-approaches-to-diagnosis-treatment-and-prophylaxis/ | 2023-09-26T04:49:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.916215 | 188 |

Which Galapagos animal are you?
Here the answers to the quiz!
We hope you liked our quiz! Here are the answers:
MAJORITY OF ANSWERS A: THE GALAPAGOS GIANT TORTOISE
The Galapagos giant tortoise likes to take its time, and has time enough to do so. It moves at a speed of just 0.26 kilometers an hour—much slower than humans, who average 4.5 kilometers. Solitary creatures, they prefer to spend their time napping, sleeping for two-thirds of every day while soaking up the sun. They do not eat a lot, and can live up to a year without food or water due to their slow metabolism. The Galapagos giant tortoise has one of the longest life spans of any creature, averaging over 100 years, with several living past 150 years old. The oldest known tortoise lived to 176, and was believed to have been present when Darwin visited the Galapagos Islands in 1835; she died in 2006.
MAJORITY OF ANSWERS B: THE BLUE-FOOTED BOOBY
The blue-footed booby got its name for its distinctive blue feet and for its unusual walk. The Spanish word “bobo” means stupid, and that was how explorers saw the clumsy way this bird waddled along the ground. The blue-footed booby knows no shame, however; they strut around, and like to display their brightly colored feet, especially to potential mates. Once matched, blue-footed boobies are a power couple, and remain mostly monogamous as they work together to raise children. They love all kinds of fish, from sardines to mackerel to flying fish, and can dive in the water in order to bring back food to the nest. While they survive in the hot Galapagos weather, they are prone to overheating and lower their body temperature by opening their mouths and vibrating their necks. This gives the already somewhat buffoonish blue-footed booby another silly characteristic, as they appear to be laughing when they’re just trying to keep their cool.
MAJORITY OF ANSWERS C: THE HAMMERHEAD SHARK
Hammerhead sharks like to hang out in shallow waters, close to the shore, enough that they’ve been known to get tans, turning from light brown to near-black. They can also go quite deep down, as much as 300 meters as they chase their prey. Hammerhead sharks are unique for the way they travel in large schools, with up to 100 of them swimming together at once. They are also the only omnivorous species of shark, known to eat seagrass as well as fish, stingrays, squid, and crustaceans. Of course, what makes this shark so distinctive is its oddly shaped head. The eyes that rest on either side of its hammerhead can give it 360° vision, allowing it to see both above and below at the same time. | <urn:uuid:0dde3da1-7446-4102-98eb-f7e1095aaf54> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.galapatours.com/gal-winter-competition-answers | 2023-09-26T06:06:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.974948 | 627 |

1996 Mercedes SL500
5.0L V-8 Engine
5 Speed Auto Transmission
Hard and Soft Top
All of the Options Available to This Model
Yes, this car is badged as a V-12 SL600. It is not. The 2nd owner thought it would be cool to do that. It's like badging a classic 60s Chevelle as a 396 SS when it's actually a 350. This is an exceptional 96 Mercedes SL500. Having spent the majority of it's life in southern California, it just came to the Dallas area within the last few years, when the 3rd owner moved here. Everything is working on the car. The hard top mechanism works well as well as the soft top. The 3rd owner spent over $600. having the soft top actuator cylinders rebuilt just within the past year.
The soft top is in very good condition. The interior is in excellent condition. The seats are still soft and showing only very minor wear. The dash and console are also like new. The only minor item we found with the car is the trunk lid does not stay up very well. The cylinders need replacing. The original first aid kit, a tool box, car cover and CD player are all present in the trunk. There is also a wind screen hidden in the trunk for when the top is down and the roll bar is up.
The binder has every invoice for the work done on the car since 2001. It shows everything from oxygen sensors to brakes and many other components replaced over the years. It shows how well the car was maintained. The paint has become a little thin and shows a bit of wear on the front bumper. There are a few minor flaws on the paint, and one very tiny dent on the front passenger side fender. The engine compartment is in excellent condition. Please watch our video to see and hear the car in action.
The undercarriage is proof of the great climate this car has lived in for all of it's life. It is obvious that it was probably hardly ever driven in the rain. We want to say again, the 2nd owner decided to badge the car as an SL600 V-12. It's like having a 69 Chevelle with a 350 cu in badged as a 396 SS. It's all about image. None the less, this is a great V-8 SL500. All 4 wheels are in very good condition. There is a bit of curb rash on the outer edge of 2 of them, but not really noticeable. | <urn:uuid:97278495-e4e7-46cc-aa36-9bd681437016> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.garrettclassics.com/1996-mercedes-sl500 | 2023-09-26T06:00:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.980461 | 531 |
Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. James Taylor, 20, is in that third camp. He didn't set out to throw the biggest, most outrageous rave West Michigan has ever seen, but it happened. And when the local news showed up, he calmly accepted that destiny had chosen him.
He didn't make 2,000 people show up at his house. He didn't make them stay all night. And he definitely didn't make this kid pass out on his floor, he explains, as the camera pans down to a kid passed out on his floor.
Taylor's party reportedly featured 2 DJs, plus fire-throwers, go-go dancers, and strippers. As many as 500 people packed the house, and thousands more gathered outside as Taylor looked upon his glorious works from the roof.
But what about the allegations of rampant underage drinking, multiple drug overdoses, and one sexual assault?
Taylor says he didn't know anyone at the party was underage, and parents probably shouldn't have let their children stay out all night at his out-of-control rave.
"I feel like anybody that's got a problem with me partying out here, in the middle of nowhere, is a spaz," he concluded.
Mecosta County police classified the party as a "mass casualty incident," with troopers and paramedics from three counties on standby, MLive reported. Authorities decided not to break up the party because of the possibility that drunken guests would flee to their cars, causing even more danger.
They've asked prosecutors to file several charges against Taylor. | <urn:uuid:83c9a566-c9c7-4e4d-ad27-c6682a05b412> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.gawker.com/the-host-of-west-michigans-biggest-rave-has-no-regret-1616273818?utm_campaign=socialflow_gawker_twitter&utm_source=gawker_twitter&utm_medium=socialflow | 2023-09-26T05:30:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.989604 | 327 |
Wall mounting your TV will help you to get the best viewing angle and makes your living room less cluttered. It may seem difficult for mounting the TV to your wall, but it’s very easy when you use the right tools. First, choose where to mount the TV and find wall studs that can be used to support it.
Then, install the mounting bracket to your wall and attach the mounting plate to the back of your TV. Connect the plate to the wall mounting bracket and see the position of your TV to get the best viewing experience.
There are a few things you need to check before you begin
Unless it’s a really old house, you’re likely to have at least two different wall forms in your home – brick walls, and stud walls. Many walls may hold a TV, but with stud walls, you need to be especially careful.
1. Brick walls:
The brick walls are perfect for mounting a TV of any size, just try to make sure that the mounts go into the cement, not the mortar, as the brick will provide a much safer fitting. Use high-duty wall anchors that are specifically designed to go into a brick and hold heavy items is a good idea when you’re installing a large TV.
2. Stud walls:
Interior walls are often constructed of a wooden stud attached to it with plasterboard. While the wooden studs are strong enough to hold a TV. if you plan to install the TV directly onto the plasterboard, you will need to use separate plasterboard fixtures to ensure that the TV weight does not overweight the maximum weight of the fixing set.
Some stud walls have a metal frame. Your TV will have to be mounted to the plasterboard with these types of walls just make sure that your TV is not too big for the plasterboard fixings.
You should have the following equipment before wall mounting TV:
- Mounting bracket
- Tape measure
- Spirit level
- Rawl plugs
How to Wall Mount Your TV – Step by Step Guide
1. Choosing the right position for wall mounting TV:
Make sure that you exactly know where you want the TV to be placed before you start drilling holes. Choose a wall that will allow the entire house to watch the TV and provide the best picture quality and will not be affected by the sunlight coming from the windows. Because in order to get the best image performance, viewing angles are often necessary, so choose your position carefully.
- For wall mounting TV, you need to screw holes into the wall, make sure to screw hole perfectly before mounting TV.
- If your house has a center point, wall mounting TV above it gets the best viewing angle performance.
2. Fix the mount to the wall
Many TV brackets come in two parts, the wall mount which fits directly on the wall, and the TV bracket which holds the TV and connects to the wall mount. Use a tape measure to calculate the gap between the bottom of the TV and mounting bracket. Then mark it with some painters tape so you remember the position.
It’s always a good idea to double-check and clarify whether you drill next to any electrical cables or pipelines.
- Hold the mount up to the wall. Use a level to make sure it’s straight.
- Use a pencil and mark it on the wall where you need to mount
- Attach a bit of masonry to your drill and drill holes where you have marked.
Drill the holes in the wall and place the rawl plugs inside the holes when you are confident that everything is perfect and in the right position.
3. Attach the mounting plate to your TV
First, remove the stand from the TV if you haven’t already done so. Locate the connecting holes of the mounting plate at the back of the TV. Sometimes they are covered in plastic or they already have screws in them. If so, take them away. Connect the plate with the included materials to the back of the TV.
4. Connect the cables and lift your TV into place
Connect everything you want to attach to your TV before wall-mounting TV, such as power, aerial, and HDMI. Then remember once mounted you can’t reach the ports of the HDMI. And lift the TV and position it with someone’s support – secure the two pieces of the bracket with a screwdriver.
What types of walls are suitable for TV mounting?
Brick walls and stud walls are suitable for mounting a TV. However, for stud walls, especially those with a metal frame, you need to ensure that the TV weight does not exceed the maximum weight the wall can support.
What tools do I need to mount a TV on the wall?
You will need a mounting bracket, tape measure, screwdriver, pencil, spirit level, rawl plugs, and a drill.
How do I choose the right position for wall mounting my TV?
Choose a wall that allows everyone in the house to watch the TV, provides the best picture quality, and is not affected by sunlight from windows. Also, consider the viewing angles for the best image performance.
How do I fix the mount to the wall?
Measure the gap between the bottom of the TV and the mounting bracket, mark it, and then drill holes at the marked points. Insert rawl plugs into the holes and then fix the mount to the wall.
How do I attach the mounting plate to my TV?
Locate the connecting holes at the back of the TV, remove any existing screws or plastic covers, and then attach the mounting plate using the included materials.
What should I do before lifting my TV into place?
Connect all necessary cables, such as power, aerial, and HDMI, before lifting the TV into place. Once the TV is mounted, it may be difficult to reach the HDMI ports.
What are the benefits of wall mounting a TV?
Wall mounting a TV saves space, provides a better viewing angle, and protects the TV from potential damage.
By using the wall mounts, minimal space will be occupied by your TV, so you will get some additional space to place more stuff. By installing wall mounts the viewing angle will be better resulting in better picture quality. To be on the safer side, wall mounting TV safeguards it from any scratches or damages from kids. | <urn:uuid:142efe7b-474c-4fe1-bec6-1bfc7e9e6064> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.gawvi.com/the-ultimate-guide-for-wall-mounting-your-tv/ | 2023-09-26T05:06:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.929983 | 1,322 |

The actor made two appearances in Ryan’s Hope, an episode that aired on the ABC network.
Ryan’s Hope on ABC featured veteran actor Michael Levin, who was well known for his impassioned portrayal of reporter Jack Fenelli. At 90 years old, he was.
Michael Levin: Honing His Craft
At Northern Westchester Hospital in Mount Kisco, New York, on January 6, 2023, the adored actor gently died away from natural causes.
Michael Levin, who was born on December 8th, 1932, joined the U.S. Navy before enrolling at the University of Minnesota. He continued on to California, where he studied acting with Robert Blake and Jack Nicholson. When the Minneapolis Guthrie Theater debuted in 1962, he kept polishing his skill there and, according to his son Jason, was thrilled to have worked there with Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy.
After relocating to New York, the actor found employment with the American Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford, Connecticut, as well as the Repertory Theatre at the Lincoln Center, both of which were directed by Jules Irving. Levin’s job as an Italian American reporter on Ryan’s Hope was a result of his appearance in an advertisement for Alitalia Airlines as an Italian spokeswoman.
In the first episode of the soap opera’s premiere, Levin made his debut as a main cast member. He received three consecutive Daytime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Actor in a Daytime Drama Series beginning in 1978 thanks to his character’s romance with Mary Ryan, who was brilliantly portrayed by Kate Mulgrew.
In total, Levin appeared in 1,074 episodes of the show, which culminated in 1989 with the marriage of his character to Leigh Kirkland (Felicity LaFortune). Dedicated viewers may remember that a young Yasmine Bleeth of Baywatch fame played Fenelli’s daughter.
Following Ryan’s Hope, Levin was cast as John Eldridge on As the World Turns and as Dr. Gould on All My Children. He made primetime appearances on N.Y.P.D., The Equalizer, Law & Order, and New York News, among other programmes.
The versatile actor appeared on Broadway in plays like The Royal Hunt of the Sun with David Carradine, Tennessee Williams’ Camino Real with Al Pacino, Sam Shepard’s Operation Sidewinder with Garrett Morris, and Bertolt Brecht’s The Good Woman of Setzuan with the late Colleen Dewhurst when he wasn’t appearing on daytime or primetime television.
He has just discovered love in woodworking. His wife Elizabeth, sons Jason and Aaron, and grandkids Veronica and Nico are left to mourn his passing. In this trying time, Soap Hub extends its heartfelt condolences to Michael Levin’s family, friends, and supporters.

Buy fake GWU Transcript, Buy fake George Washington University Transcript, Buy US fake transcript, The George Washington University (GW or GWU) is a private federally chartered research university in Washington, D.C. Chartered in 1821 by the United States Congress, GWU is the largest institution of higher education in the District of Columbia.
George Washington, the first President of the United States, advocated for the establishment of a national university in the U.S. capital in his first State of the Union address in 1790 and continued to promote this idea throughout his career and until his death. In his will, Washington left shares in the Potomac Company to endow the university. However, due to the company’s financial difficulties, funds were raised independently by Baptist ministers. On February 9, 1821, the university was established by an Act of Congress first as Columbian College and then as Columbian University, making it one of only five universities in the United States with a Congressional charter.
The university’s undergraduate and graduate schools includes the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences, the Elliott School of International Affairs, the GWU School of Business, the School of Media and Public Affairs, the Trachtenberg School of Public Policy and Public Administration, the GWU Law School and the Corcoran School of the Arts and Design. GWU’s main Foggy Bottom campus is located in the heart of Washington, D.C., with the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank located on campus and the White House and the U.S. Department of State within blocks of campus. GWU hosts numerous research centers and institutes, including the National Security Archive and the Institute for International Economic Policy. GWU also has two satellite campuses: the Mount Vernon campus, located in D.C.’s Foxhall neighborhood, and the Virginia Science and Technology Campus in Loudoun County, Virginia.
What is a College Transcript?
A college transcript is an academic document usually issued along with a college diploma or degree. It showcases the actual grades a student obtained in all academic courses.
Any person looking at your transcript can easily ascertain the courses in which you performed best and those you were least excellent in. College transcripts also make it easier for prospective employers looking to hire someone to fill a particular position to determine if that person is the right choice for that position.
Even institutions of higher learning use transcripts to pick out the best applicants who want to go to higher academic programs. The institutions can drop those who failed to meet their respective academic qualifications while permitting others to proceed with the higher academic programs. | <urn:uuid:01bd192a-e034-4ae8-927b-870aab860d1c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.getdegree18.com/Samples/buy-fake-gwu-transcript.html | 2023-09-26T06:21:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.961751 | 532 |
Paris Saint-Germain are now interested in the possibility of signing Fiorentina midfielder and FIFA World Cup star Sofyan Amrabat.
Marco Conterio has reported about the situation of the Moroccan midfielder, stating that the ex-Verona man has numerous suitors. From the Premier League, Tottenham and Liverpool are most interested. Antonio Conte has long been an admirer of the player and Jurgen Klopp is a fan of Amrabat’s profile. Both clubs are evaluating a move for him in January.
But Paris Saint-Germain have also joined the race now, with La Viola looking for a fee of over €30 million for the player. The foundation of PSG’s interest lies in Achraf Hakimi’s excellent relationship with Amrabat, with the right-back having sought approval from Kylian Mbappe, as the Frenchman has massive influence in the dressing room and PSG’s transfer affairs. As of now, PSG are strongly in the race and are considering a move.

The youths of Brazil are not going to stop shopping in ‘real’ shops anytime soon. 68% of the youths surveyed (aged 16-21) said they will continue to shop in-store at least to the same extent, or even more, than they do now. This is almost as large a percentage as for the older age group (aged 22-65) where 71% said they will continue to use shops as much, if not more than they do now.
Physical stores are important to young people – and adults too
In Brazil, social shopping looks set to rise, with 39% of 16-21 year olds saying they will shop socially more than they currently do almost matched by 35% of adults. A physical shop presence is important to all age groups. In fact, 31% of both youths and adults surveyed stated that they would only buy online if the retailer also had a physical store.
Webrooming is preferred over showrooming by all age groups
Youths prefer to “webroom” – research an item online before going in store. 80% do this as opposed to 62% who “showroom” – research in-store and then buy online. Adults score higher on both types of behavior and also prefer to webroom – 83% do this as opposed to 71% who showroom.
What Brazilian consumers expect from retailers
Overall, lower prices and easier refunds and returns are the most common wishes of both young and older respondents in our survey. Otherwise, the wish list for retailers is much the same between the two age groups, although older respondents are significantly more likely to mention improved delivery services. Having more choice was not high on the list of wants – important to 35% of youths and 28% of adults.
Most online shopping in Brazil is on laptops or desktops
The majority of online transactions take place on a desktop or laptop. A very low percentage (of any age group) currently purchases online using a mobile device. The highest is in buying fashion, where 6% of youths use mobiles.
Payment information security can put consumers off shopping online
33% of youths and 30% of 22-65 year olds state the security of their credit card details or personal details as the reason they would not buy online, while 32% and 30% give unreliability of delivery as the reason. The older age group (22-65) are more concerned about the difficulty of returning items, with 24% stating this would be a barrier, as compared to 15% of youths.
The importance of an integrated approach
Adults have higher expectations than youths that there should be in-store support for items purchased online (82%), although three quarters of youths also expect this service (75%).
Brazil looks to the future
Youths and adults both think that home delivery and online will play a more important role in the future. Older respondents are much more likely to say loyalty cards will play an important role in how they research and buy products in future (50% vs. 36%).
Brazilian youths are most interested in identifying new ways to find products in-store, and also in customizable products. They are significantly less likely than older respondents to be interested in contactless payment or Click & Collect. The youth segment surveyed showed a very similar level of interest in innovative technologies such as Amazon drones and Google Glass to the older age group.

Were The Hyper Scape Gun Designs Inspired By Apex Legends?
Games in the Battle Royale genre are no stranger to comparisons. The genre is still somewhat new and constantly evolving. Different games take different ideas from each other all the time.
With the release of Hyper Scape on August 11, 2020, the comparisons came flying in. Common sense tells you that the first comparison drawn would be to Apex Legends. Both games are futuristic, fast-paced, and have a high time-to-kill (TTK).
The community noticed right away that a bunch of the guns in Hyper Scape bore a conspicuous resemblance to the guns found in Apex Legends. These guns are not only similar in looks, but in how they operate and perform in-game.
So, did Hyper Scape copy weapon designs from Apex Legends? Or is it just a coincidence? Be the judge for yourself.

Riot One vs Wingman
These two revolver-style pistols have striking similarities. On the outside, they share the same futuristic mould, with sleek silver plating forming the exterior. Side by side, it’s hard to tell that they aren’t the same weapon.
Gameplay-wise, they perform almost identically. Both are single-fire pistols that deal high damage per shot. Both weapons can be used effectively at short and long ranges. Heavy recoil, small magazine sizes, and the need for precision mean that these weapons are very high risk, high reward. The Wingman and Riot One are both considered the best weapons in their respective games in the hands of a marksman. However, in unskilled players hands, the pistols are nearly useless. You’ll find that players tend to either love or hate these two pistols.
The Riot One has a six bullet magazine and can three-shot enemies to the head at max fusion. When it comes to body shots, the Riot One only takes four shots to kill (except at the lowest fusion levels).
The Wingman is very similar in this regard. It has a five-eight bullet magazine contingent on the tier of the Extended Mag attached to it. The Wingman takes three-five body shots and two-three headshots to kill, depending on the health of the target.
These two iconic pistols are staples of their respective games. Considering the similarities, it’s hard to imagine that the Riot One didn’t draw some inspiration from the Wingman.
Ripper vs R-301 Carbine
The Ripper and the R-301 Carbine both fit the role of the standard assault rifle. Fully-automatic weapons capable of performing at all ranges - the jack-of-all-trades weapon.
Side by side, these two assault rifles look near identical. They both share visible attributes down to the minute detail.
Performance-wise, both assault rifles play the same role - solid overall weapons with few drawbacks. They may not be the most potent weapon in the game, but they are both easy to use and perform well in almost all situations. For this reason, new players tend to gravitate toward them.
The Ripper has a 23-36 round mag size based on the fusion level. It does 12-14 damage to the body and 18-21 damage to the head. The R-301 Carbine’s magazine capacity ranges from 18-28 and deals 14 damage to the body, 28 to the head. Both assault rifles have minimal recoil with high rates of fire.
When you picture the assault rifle of the future, the Ripper and R-301 models come to mind. It’s definitely possible that the developers thought up the designs of these guns separately, but the likeness is still apparent.
Harpy vs Alternator
The Hyper Scape vs Apex Legends gun dupes continue into the SMG category. The Harpy SMG has been tagged as a bootleg version of Apex Legends’ Alternator SMG.
Both of these SMGs are modelled on a twin-barrel design. The iconic lengthy magazine is clearly visible down the centre of both guns. These weapons have extremely high rate-of-fires, dealing high damage-per-second (DPS), and capable of erasing an enemy in mere moments.
Both SMGs lend themselves to the same playstyle. The user will need to focus on close-quarters combat and stay within a few feet of the enemy to find success with these weapons. At close-range, these SMGs are deadly and should be feared. However, at a distance, both weapons become impractical.
Hyper Scape’s Harpy is more popular in the community than Apex Legend’s Alternator ever was, but there is no denying the resemblance between these two SMGs.
Mammoth vs Peacekeeper
Two intimidating names for two intimidating shotguns. These two pump-action shotguns are almost interchangeable.
On the outside, both shotguns resemble the traditional pump-action model. Dive into the mechanics, and the stats, and the parallels grow tighter.
Both shotguns shoot pellets - the more pellets that connect, the more damage the shot output. The Mammoth and the Peacekeeper are capable of dealing insane amounts of damage when all the pellets connect. Both weapons can one-shot kill in certain circumstances. The only other weapons capable of this are the top-tier Sniper Rifles in both games. The two shotguns are so strong that both of their respective communities typically refer to them as overpowered.
The Hyper Scape devs were able to mimic the potent Peacekeeper in the form of the Mammoth.
In the end, there can only be so many variations of a Revolver or a Pump Shotgun. The fact that guns in both of these futuristic shooters look and act similarly is not far-fetched. Regardless, Hyper Scape players aren’t going to stop calling the Riot One a Wingman anytime soon.

The Minority in Parliament has expressed concern that a freeze on public-sector employment will worsen the unemployment situation in the country.
The group has, therefore, asked the government to consider the number of youths that risk the tendency of becoming jobless as against the existing unemployment.
This follows the government’s announcement of a freeze on hiring into the public and civil service effective January 2023 as part of cabinet directives for expenditure rationalisation in the 2023 Budget.
Speaking at a Post Budget Workshop at Ho in the Volta Region, the Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu said the 2023 Budget was an indication of the highly distressed state of the country.
“Mr. Speaker, Ghana’s economy and as I listened to the Honourable Minister of Finance, the 2023 budget statement is replete with evidence that government is simply broke and the economy in crisis. An economy under life support that needs some resuscitation”, he said.
The Minority Leader indicated that some of the interventions which the government is seeking to make including the capping of enrollment of nursing and teacher trainees and the reduction of the size of convoys could rather worsen the state of the economy.
Meanwhile, the Majority Leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu says external shocks and the depreciation of the cedi have been major contributing factors to the current economic hardships for which the 2023 Budget seeks to tackle.
“These (COVID-19 and Russian-Ukraine war) have created internal and external imbalances in the clearly economic woes; high inflation and unsustainable financing of the current economic deficit and rapid depreciation of the cedi. Suddenly, these variables have brought a lot of hardships to the citizenry, particularly the poor and vulnerable”, he noted.
He added that, the budget intends to alleviate the plight of Ghanaians through increased spending on social protection. | <urn:uuid:dac1baa5-8027-4538-9fb7-4baf57aec3bd> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.ghspot.com/freeze-on-public-sector-employment-will-worsen-unemployment-minority/ | 2023-09-26T05:01:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.947281 | 388 |

To succeed in your international venture, you need a properly-structured plan of action. Ray Hays offers just such a plan
Growth-oriented franchisors have dozens of good reasons to spread their wings beyond their home countries and explore the world of international franchising. Taking the next step into global expansion can build brand value, expand revenue by opening new markets, and improve a franchisor’s valuation, among other advantages.
However, going global is a strategic decision that should not be taken lightly. Regardless of their country of origin, franchisors face similar challenges and pitfalls when entering new international markets. That said, international expansion – if done correctly – can be a transformational shift in the evolution of a franchise.
Building a successful global franchise expansion program requires hard work and focus over the long-term, much like running a marathon. To succeed in the long run, a franchisor should strive for competency in four key areas, which I refer to as reaching an ‘international PACE’. These key areas are: Planning, Adaptation, Commitment and Expertise.
Prior to entering international markets, a franchisor needs to have a clearly-defined business plan and budget with a horizon of at least five to 10 years. This plan is often developed with the help of outside experts with deep experience of building international franchising programs. The plan should clearly identify the financial and staffing resources required for the international program to succeed.
International growth does not always require a multi-million dollar budget to get off the ground. Early stages can be rolled out by one or two key managers with the support of outsourced international specialists, such as consultants and attorneys. Franchisors should budget conservatively since international projects typically take much longer than expected. Plans may vary widely, but a typical international department budget should strive to reach cash-flow breakeven within about two to three years and ROI within about three to five years.
An international growth plan is essential for a franchisor to (1) understand if they are ready to go international, (2) determine their specific international strategy and model, and (3) prioritize international markets for expansion. According to Bill Edwards, CEO of Edwards Global Services (EGS), “If an international development strategy is well-planned, with expert guidance and careful selection of target countries, the franchisor will see a long-term pay-off in terms of global growth and return on investment. On the flip side, international expansion that lacks careful planning and research often leads to very painful and expensive lessons.”
Entering foreign markets will require some level of adaptation of the franchise business model and products or services. Franchisors with global ambitions must be prepared to adapt at two levels:
1. Internationalization – This involves a high-level adaptation of a franchisor’s business processes and communication to be more “internationally friendly”. For example, a franchisor’s website should communicate to an international audience. If an Australian customer logs onto an American franchisor’s home page, do they see an American toll-free “800” number, with a US location map and pricing in US dollars? An internationalized website must show relevant information, based on the country of the person viewing it. Other focus areas for internationalization may include point-of-sale software, mobile apps, accounting tools, manuals, forms, training programs, store signage and marketing tools.
2. Localization – This refers to adaptations to meet specific requirements or preferences of a country or sub-region. For example, a franchisor entering Canada would need to understand the appropriate use of bilingual English and French language materials for marketing, signage, product packaging, employee training materials, etc. Proper localization should address nearly all aspects of the franchise, including customer tastes, marketing, daily operations, employee management, accounting standards and regulatory compliance.
A franchise may be required to make changes to its business model to comply with country-specific laws or regulations. Another good reason for adaptations to a franchise could include religious customs. For example, restaurant franchises may decide to change menu ingredients to avoid pork in Muslim markets, beef in Hindu markets and other similar restrictions. Branding may also be impacted. Outside North America, Church’s Chicken markets its franchise under the “Texas Chicken” brand, which avoids religious sensitivities regarding the word “Church” in some international markets.
That said, too many adaptations can be a slippery slope. Each change to a business model can create unanticipated operational inefficiencies, quality issues or other complications that could otherwise damage the brand. Adaptations to suit local customer tastes or business customs should be carefully studied and tested prior to implementation.
If an international franchisee says, “That will not work here,” a franchisor should reply with two questions. “Why not?” and “Have you tried it?” In some cases, small or large adaptations may be the right business decision, and in other cases, these changes may be unnecessary or even counterproductive.
This points the importance of testing the franchise model by opening a pilot unit in each international market. The pilot operation could be opened by the franchisor or by a Master Franchisee or similar partner. This will enable a franchisor to test its products and services, fine-tune the business model and make informed decisions on adaptations (if necessary) for each country.
Global expansion requires commitment throughout the franchise organization, from top leadership to the rank-and-file. Of course, allocating a reasonable budget is a key first step to building an international program. However, commitment is less about money and more about mindset. Franchisors can throw a lot of money at an international program, but without a long-term “organizational will” to back it up, their international expansion is doomed to fail.
Nearly always, a nascent international program is highly dependent on other departments at the franchise headquarters to support international growth. An international program must leverage the franchisor’s know-how and subject-matter experts in all areas of the organization, including training, marketing, IT, supply chain, operations support, etc. In short, there is no room for organizational “silos” in a globally expanding franchise organization. The franchisor’s executive leadership needs set clear expectations, allocate the necessary resources, and ensure that the business plans of other departments include goals and responsibilities to support international growth.
If this level of organizational commitment is not achieved, an international program can be perceived as a “side show” of the franchise rather than a company-wide strategic initiative. Department heads may view international projects as “low priority” or worse, as a competing program that pulls budget and resources away from their own department. This often leads to a lack of support within the franchisor ranks or even active efforts to undermine international projects. This type of discord must be avoided at all costs.
Any successful international program requires the know-how of international experts to avoid costly pitfalls. This expertise starts at the corporate headquarters level. Some franchisors choose to hire a seasoned full-time executive to head up global expansion, while others prefer to save overhead costs with a contracted international advisor in the early stages.
Franchisors should also have “boots on the ground” in each country. In most cases, this country-level franchise management may be handled by a contracted advisor, partner or Master Franchisee, without the need for the overhead of a branch office and corporate employees in every country. These local franchise experts are critical to provide country-specific guidance on franchise development, market trends, supply chain, regulatory compliance, etc. Without this local expertise, a franchisor risks costly and time-consuming errors that can lead to market failure.
International legal expertise is a critical element to a successful global expansion program. Having a great domestic franchise attorney for a franchisor’s home market is not sufficient. An international program will require an attorney with a proven international track record and a network of local franchise attorneys across multiple countries. These country-level attorneys also play a very important role to navigate country-specific regulatory barriers (required filings, etc.) and to adjust the franchise agreement to be enforceable under local laws. In short, a franchisor’s international legal guidance needs to be handled by international legal specialists, not by a domestic franchise attorney alone.
Finding your unique international PACE
Let’s be clear. Before embarking on international expansion, the leadership of a franchisor needs to take a hard look at their organization and ask, “Are we truly ready to go global?” If a franchisor is not able or willing to meet the four key competencies of PACE, the answer is no. You are not ready to take the international plunge.
Going global is never a perfect process. Ask the leadership of any large global franchisor, and they will tell you that mistakes were made and lessons were learned along their international journey. This author has worked on many such international market entry projects, and yes, I’ve committed some of those mistakes. The most costly errors in global franchising fit into one of the four PACE buckets: inadequate Planning, poor Adaptation to global markets, lack of team Commitment and absence of international Expertise to guide the global program.
By carefully setting an international PACE in the early years, a franchisor can successfully transform into a truly multinational player, reaping the benefits of a global marketplace and maximizing the full potential of the franchise.

India is planning to build the world’s largest museum in the centre of New Delhi. The Yuge Yugeen Bharat will collect artefacts covering 5,000 years of Indian history in a 117,000-sq-m, three-storey building.
The national museum will be made up of 950 rooms, CNBC reports.
It will be located within the North and South Blocks flanking the Rashtrapati Bhawan, the official residence of the Indian president.
India Today comments that the plan “signifies a shift towards celebrating India’s cultural legacy on a grand scale”.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a virtual walkthrough of the museum in May, and last week remarked that work would begin soon while inaugurating the Bharat Mandapam, an international convention centre in Delhi that is intended to showcase India as a global business destination.
The eight sections of the museum will cover phases in Indian history, such as ancient, medieval, colonial rule, and independence.
The virtual walkthrough provided a preview of how the galleries and gardens will appear. It included ancient town planning, and coverage of ancient and sacred texts such as the Vedas and Upanishads, and recreations of the Mauryan, Gupta and Mughal Empire, among others. | <urn:uuid:0a80c9ca-35d6-4f75-a19c-fb8a3261256d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.globalconstructionreview.com/india-to-start-work-soon-on-worlds-largest-museum/ | 2023-09-26T05:23:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.913435 | 269 |

The tourism community in Santa Barbara has long positioned the city as the American Riviera. While some in France might take exception, this coastal city does have much in common with the jewels of the Mediterranean: a majestic seashore, inviting beaches, the towering San Ynez Mountains and 300 days of sunshine a year. Awe-inspiring sunsets bring cooling winds to the popular alfresco dining scene.
Santa Barbara may not be France, but it’s a lot closer. Travelers arrive by air at Santa Barbara Airport, with service from most major American carriers. The city lies less than 100 miles from Los Angeles International Airport, but visitors can also drive up the coast on U.S. 101, checking out the surfers along the way. Santa Barbara’s wharf welcomes cruising passengers from several lines including Celebrity Cruises, Holland America Line, Princess Cruises and Seabourn Cruise Line.
Winters can be cool, windy and wet, but you won’t deal with snow and ice. Visitors and business travelers enjoy the mellow patio and palm bar scene almost year-round.
Explore two of Santa Barbara’s most popular restaurant and bar destinations, Funk Zone and downtown, where State Street transformed into a pedestrian entertainment district. A few other sites stand out as destinations worthy of a drive out of town. The Stonehouse at The San Ysidro Ranch sits among grounds as exciting as the fine-dining menu. Or head up the mountain to the Cold Spring Tavern on Highway 154, an old stagecoach stop serving since 1865 and famous for its wild game and tri-tip barbecue. For seafood, watch the sunset at Boathouse at Hendry’s Beach as you feast on the fresh catch and raw bar.
The Santa Barbara Urban Wine Trail makes for a great tasting experience with more than 20 wineries, plus wine bars on almost every corner. Then visit Julia Childs’ favorite Mexican restaurant, La Super-Rica Taqueria, where she often took her visiting foodie friends.
LGBTQ+ visitors get a warm welcome with California cool at most hotels, restaurants and bars across the city, with a special invite at established clubs like Crush Bar & Tap, Wildcat Lounge and iconic Elsies Tavern on De La Guerra Street.
Less than five years ago the world’s first hybrid cruise ship, Hurtigruten Expeditions’ MS Roald Amundsen, set sail for Antarctica in November 2019 with 450 passengers. The battery-hybrid-powered ship, named for the first man to cross the continent and reach the South Pole, was built specifically for voyages in polar waters. Its battery-hybrid power reduces the ship’s consumption and CO2 emissions by 20 percent compared to equally sized ships.
United Airlines is in the midst of a major initiative to modernize its fleet over the next several years. After first announcing the plan in 2021, planes fitted with United’s signature interior are finally beginning to appear across the airline’s narrowbody fleet of Boeing and Airbus planes. United flyers are sure to notice these enhancements from the moment they step on board: Each new or updated plane sports remodeled seats, seatback entertainment screens for everyone, Bluetooth connectivity and more, all adding up to a better experience on every journey.
A few months ago, I flew Polaris business class on a United flight from Dulles (IAD) to Paris (CDG). It was only when I got to my hotel in Paris I realized that I didn’t have my iPad or its bag or accessories. Since I had been working on it in the restaurant in the Polaris lounge and then went directly to the gate, I knew I either left it propped up on my table when I packed up or in my business-class seat. But what was the best method to alert the airline about my careless mishap and (hopefully) retrieve it? With spotty data and WiFi, searching for information on my phone was frustrating and slow. Here’s what I learned from the anxiety-inducing experience (and unexpected ending) about what to do if you leave something behind on your flight:
Solmar Hotels & Resorts introduces Grand Solmar Pacific Dunes, previously known as Grand Solmar at Rancho San Lucas, in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The hotel renewed its name and image to highlight the property’s natural attributes while maintaining the quality of its services and experiences.
One affordable plan can protect an entire year of trips: business or pleasure, short or long, domestic or international.

Whether your palate has a penchant for vibrant Latin American fare or cozy French cuisine, whether you're an oenophile looking to swirl, sniff and sip your way around the globe or you’d rather sample farm-to-glass cocktails, Philly’s got it all this fall. (With the exception of Bolo, which is a short taxi or Uber ride away and definitely worth the trip, the rest of these spots are all within walking distance of each other.)

From Santoríni to Dubai to New York, some hotels just have that “it” factor that draws visitors far and wide.

Hey there, makeup mavens! Buckle up because we’re about to dive into the glamorous world of makeup and spill the tea on the top 10 makeup trends that are taking over 2023. Whether you’re a makeup artist, a budding celebrity makeup artist, or a beauty enthusiast searching for the latest trends, this blog post has got you covered! So, let’s get this beauty party started!
1.“Shimmer, Baby, Shimmer!”
This year, it’s all about that radiant glow, and we mean G-L-O-W! Say goodbye to the matte look and hello to shimmering skin. Embrace the luminosity with a dewy foundation, a touch of highlighter on your cheekbones, and a hint of shimmer on your eyelids. Picture Rihanna’s stunning glow at the Met Gala 2023.
2.“Color Pop is the New Black”
Make way for vibrant and bold colors that demand attention. Think neon eyeliners, electric eyeshadows, and daring lip shades. Remember Zendaya’s red carpet appearance with a mesmerizing electric blue winged liner? That’s the vibe we’re talking about!
3.“Freckles for the Win”
Embrace your natural beauty by enhancing your freckles or creating them if you don’t have them. Freckles are no longer a sign of shyness but a statement of confidence and individuality. Just take a look at Emma Stone’s freckles stealing the show at the Oscars 2023.
4.“Negative Space Eyeliner”
Take your winged liner game to the next level with negative space eyeliner. Leave a small gap between the upper and lower liner, creating a chic and edgy look. Rihanna rocked this trend with a dual-winged negative space eyeliner look at the Grammy Awards.
5.“Sculpted Brows on Fleek”
Your brows deserve some love, and sculpting is the way to go. Fuller, thicker brows with a defined arch are in, and microblading is your secret weapon. Just check out Lily Collins’ stunning brows that make heads turn wherever she goes!
6.“Graphic Liner Madness”
Make a statement with bold, geometric lines adorning your eyes. Play with different shapes, angles, and colors to create an avant-garde look. Tracee Ellis Ross left everyone awestruck at the Golden Globes with her unique geometric eyeliner masterpiece.
Transport yourself to a dreamy wonderland with soft pastel hues on your eyes, lips, and cheeks. Opt for shades like lavender, mint, or baby pink for a whimsical touch. Imagine Lupita Nyong’o’s ethereal pastel makeup look at the Cannes Film Festival.
8.“All About Gloss”
Kiss matte lipstick goodbye and make way for glossy lips! Get that irresistible pout with high-shine lip gloss in a variety of colors. Channel your inner Gigi Hadid, who slayed the runway with glossy lips at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
Glitter isn’t just for special occasions anymore; it’s for everyday glam too! Apply it to your eyelids, cheeks, or even your lips to add a touch of sparkle to your look. Take a cue from Dua Lipa’s mesmerizing glittery eye makeup that lit up the Billboard Music Awards.
10.“The ‘No-Makeup’ Makeup Look”
Okay, we know it’s contradictory, but hear us out. The ‘no-makeup’ makeup look is all about achieving a natural, fresh-faced appearance using minimal products. It’s effortless yet flawless | <urn:uuid:647b50f7-6eff-43b0-849b-ee86c33be67a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.glossnglass.com/unveiling-the-hottest-makeup-trends.html | 2023-09-26T04:41:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.81257 | 842 |

“Bright College Days”
There are some posts yesterday near the end which you maynot have seen.
Looked like I opened a few floodgates. Well, Belinda Roseannadanna can keep her ‘firsts’. At least she’s not at itevery day like she useta was. I think she even made an actual, relevant bona fide comment once.
Someone already told ‘em if they didn’t – ORM——I think. Are you Bulgarian, living in BG or abroad? I am a USA expat, married to a Bulgarian woman, and here since Jan. 1995
GT produces what you might call a rough draft,which will likely require extensive editing. The instruction booklet in the box with your new electronic toy, digital camera, or whatever, willgive a good idea of the sort of results you will probably get on the first pass. It’s a starting point, but that’s all. That said, it IS better than it was a decade ago. Caveat: it is still no goodwith idiomatic expressions - it may give you a literal translation which will be totally incomprehensible to a native speaker. E.g., kick the bucket, queer as a three-shilliing note, gone west, bought the farm &c&c&c
Всъщност нямаше никаква друга бележка на екрана когато аз вписах моята.(Actually, there was no other post on the screen when I posted mine.)
So AFAIKnew, I was first, at least for a few minutes. Sic transit….
And she’s just now noticing?
Today is the Tomorrow you worried about Yesterday. So goesour daily slide down the razor blade of life.
Shall we tell ’em?
Вашата бележка не бе се явила на екрана вмомента когато аз вписах моята.

People jump through crazy hoops just to earn points, and IHG has invented an addictive game to get rewards club members to earn 1000’s of extra bonus points, in ways that may not even be defined as crazy. IHG Accelerate has been retitled to “Make Every Stay Count”, and the new offers for travel from September through December 31st are now live. There’s only one way to find out your personal offer.
IHG’s latest promotion offers bonus points for completing a variety of activities related to the IHG brand. Opportunities range from trying new IHG Hotel brands to booking weekend stays, extending stays a bit longer and more.
Each member of the loyalty program received different offers based on their IHG stay history, or lack thereof, and many IHG Rewards Club members will find opportunities to earn between 35,000-50,000 extra points, in addition to what you’d usually earn from IHG hotel stays. Even if you’re not yet an IHG Rewards member, you can sign up and you’ll still find an offer of some sort. You can register for a free IHG Rewards account here.
To check your personal bonus offer and get started, you need to head to the IHG Accelerate “Make Every Stay Count” promo page, and log in. You can check your offer here for UK members, and here for US members. Once logged in, you’ll find your new “Make Every Stay Count” (lame title) offer and figure out which challenges, if any (or all) make sense for you to achieve between September 1st and December 31st. That’s right. These offers are live to browse now, but only count for travel starting September 1st.
Best Ways To Spend IHG Rewards Points
IHG Rewards Points have some great uses, particularly with the Intercontinental and Kimpton brand of hotels, where you can save $100’s per night by redeeming points rather than paying steep cash rates. This new IHG promotion is a great way to “accelerate” your way to enough points to actually cash in a free night at a luxury hotel somewhere where you really want to go. | <urn:uuid:c05baa00-7d0e-4dac-beb0-f40e29a99ded> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.godsavethepoints.com/ihg-accelerate-registration-offer/ | 2023-09-26T06:55:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.958017 | 480 |
On Saturday, March 30th at 10:50p the Houghton Family of five were on their way to spend spring break with family in Orange County when they ran out of gas forcing them onto the inside shoulder of the 405 freeway. They called 911, buckled up and waited for the police to arrive. They were hit by a truck at very high speed and Bryce Houghton (13 years old) did not survive.
Gael (mom) received surgery for a shattered pelvis. Michael (father) was treated gash on the back of his area and will require further surgery on his eye. Carissa and Mason were treated for minor injuries and released from the hospital.
The family is heartbroken they have shared their last laugh with Bryce but believe strongly He is in heaven with his Lord Jesus.
It's hard to estimate all of the needs they will have in the coming days and weeks
* A new vehicle
* Medical bills, the family was taken to 3 hospitals the night of the accident.
* Funeral arrangements for Bryce
Every prayer matters. Every gift, no matter how small, is important. Thank you for serving a family who has served our community so well. | <urn:uuid:a3cf3fcc-f077-4c1d-af26-6d9f4128de60> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.gofundme.com/f/houghton-family-fund-in-honor-of-bryce?error=1 | 2023-09-26T07:23:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.98761 | 254 |

Travel blogs are interesting stuff! Travel bloggers usually write about their experience and how they felt in their journeys. Even though boring sometimes - adventurous often! - I personally find travel blogs interesting. There might be destinations you can't visit on your own, travel bloggers are here to help you with that! We've gathered a list of the top 5 travel bloggers you should follow this week.
These people are enthusiastic about what they do, and it's their job to educate us on different cultures and different destinations. So, we tried our best to find the best and most sophisticated personalities that pull off the unthinkable in their journeys! Long story short, we tried to credit the best and the most enthusiastic bloggers, not the most famous!
Before we jump into the world of bloggers, we have a unique offer for you! We have also gathered a list of top travel podcasts you can listen to! If you're the type of person that listens more than reads, or if you don't have much time to spend on the internet surfing. This is the way to go for you. Now back to the blog world!
Why Read a Travel Blog
Aside from the fascinating stories one might tell of an adventurous extraordinary travel. Sometimes even the most boring stories teach you a thing or two. You might sometimes ask yourself "what gear do I need to travel to The Great Canyon?" or "How expensive is a café in the heart of Paris?", most travel bloggers career goal is to provide answers for all your potential questions.
Another hidden aspect of reading a travel blog is the culture exchange. The "east meets west" type of travel blogs are my personal favorite. The "cultural exchange" and the learning part of traveling is what makes it a more sophisticated and enlightening activity after all.
With that being said, the fascinating stories are also ~quite fascinating!~ we've actually had a blast reading stories on these bloggers posts and blogs while writing this article. We strongly recommend checking these bloggers out!
1. Lost With Purpose
The sweetest in content, sourest in profanity; Lost With Purpose by Alex Reynolds is our all time favorite travel blog. The way Alex introduces herself on her blog is probably the best prologue of her content:
"American by birth, British by passport, Filipina by appearance. Addicted to ice cream. Enjoys climbing trees, dislikes falling out. Has great fondness for goats which is usually not reciprocated." - Alex Reynolds
She manifests a fun & active type of traveler. But what we like the most about her is how she educates us about travel and the joy of traveling. She also keeps a very high-key profile, as she is pretty crystal clear about her financials and how she makes all the traveling happen!
Alex usually takes the most affordable trips ~no offense Alex~ and often teaches us how to be sustainable and how to travel affordably!
2. The Blonde Abroad
In comparison to the other bloggers, Kiersten of "The Blonde Abroad" AKA, Kiki, has a way more complex and packed blog. Not only does she provide a range of categories for different travelers, she's even plugged in traveling gear shopping lists and even exclusive lifestyle blog posts. Making it not only one of the best travel blogs but more than just a travel blog!
Another thing worth mentioning is how Kiki portrays destinations. It's no secret Kiki is a good photographer. She even has a webpage dedicated to photography, from tips and how-to's to camera reviews and all that! This makes the blog more unique in comparison to the other bloggers who only put in photos to fill in the space. Even I'm guilty!
The aesthetic and the design of the website is also an element worth pointing finger at. Once you pay her website a visit, you simply can't get out!
3. Dan Flying Solo
Not unlike Kiki of The Blonde Abroad, Dan is also a great photographer, and even a better writer. His photography has been featured in National Geographic - just to emphasize how good it is! Dan is obsessed with exploring the nature and meeting new people and goats as he puts it himself. That's two bloggers out of five being obsessed with goats!
Dan Flying Solo is more than just a blog however. The articles and blog posts are all there, sure. But Dan also does amazing photography and informative videos. So even if you're not a good reader, Dan has got you covered!
4. A Broken Backpack
Probably the most informative and heartwarming travel blog out there, A Broken Backpack is dedicated to the fellow backpackers. Melissa, the Canadian traveler and entrepreneur, is the mastermind behind this blog.
Mel is enthusiastic about the "Digital Nomad" lifestyle, she's dedicated parts of her website to the Digital Nomad lifestyle, the how-to's and the whole concept of working abroad or moving to other countries for freelance work. She's done it herself for years so she would know!
So if you're about that daredevil backpacking camping whatever lifestyle we'd recommend checking Mel's blog out. She's a very interesting person as well as a top tier travel blogger.
5. Expert Vagabond
A little bit of everything is what comes to my mind when I open up Matt's website. Expert Vagabond is quite literally about everything and anything a Digital Nomad needs to know and learn. From destinations and cool places to visit to blogging basics and tips.
Matt has more than 10 years of experience in traveling, he's traveled to destinations in all continents, and I mean it, all continents. Including the Polar regions!
Matthew also has lots of tips and tricks for all the travelers and travel enthusiasts out there, from tips on how to save money on your trips to photography tricks, so if you're looking for the top travel blogger who also covers all grounds in travel. Matt is your guy! | <urn:uuid:730feda3-fff4-4aa8-b5e8-97630e5752c4> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.gokitech.com/post/top-5-travel-bloggers-you-should-follow | 2023-09-26T06:32:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.953215 | 1,206 |

Family run, client led
A NOTE FROM OUR MANAGING DIRECTOR, ZANA O'NEILL
"For over ten years we have been the first port of call for many businesses across both public and private sectors seeking to contract-out all aspects of cleaning and facilities management. I am proud that we continue to support businesses in every way we can so that they can focus on serving the public which, for some of our clients, involves literally life-saving work. Not least during the COVID-19 pandemic, businesses are coming to terms with the importance of cleaning services and the continuity a reliable service like ours provides. Prospective clients can feel reassured by our experience providing services to a number of facilities, not limited to healthcare, residential, retail, offices and leisure outlets. Our methodical, transparent and collaborative approach to service delivery is at the heart of everything we do. We take the time to understand your business and how we can best support your environment - that is why we are not an agency and so much more than a contractor! We look forward to meeting new clients and absorbing new challenges."

Every male who wants to attain the title of being a “Man” should work on some variation of what I’m about to say. There are quite a few stories floating around social media about the evolution of dating as you get older and it seemed as though some things were a bit overblown and that in truth, should be brought out more bluntly. For everyone else, I’d like to state that because someone is older, it does not mean that they are a “Man”. I’ve met a lot of 25, 30+ year old “boys”, and amazingly met 20; 21 year olds should without a doubt be called “Men”. I believe this partial list will give insight as to what makes us males as “Men” And some traits that provide us the privilege to be known as men.
1. Men and Emotions
Yes, everyone feels them, women and men alike but “Men” should have a solid grasp on what gets exposed and what doesn’t. There’s all this talk about “controlling” emotions but I think the word “control” is overly used as if a Man can tell himself what to feel and what not to. This is false: males are not robots, or automatons. As I grew older I found that I don’t get less angry, less sad, less happy – I just learned when it is appropriate to express some emotions at certain times and not at others.
2. A Man and Goals.
Men need to have goals – a Man should identify what he wants. Real “Men” should determine a goal for their life and work to attain it. I’m not trying to bash anyone’s free spirit, because hey, if that’s your goal than live it to its extent. “Boys” say they’re this or that, and they’re searching for themselves. – No. You pick an ideal, goal and you spend your 20’s working to refine it and develop it, and when you get to your 30’s hopefully you get paid for it. If you’re lucky this’ll happen at the same time. When I speak to women and they tell me that a guy has his hands in one too many baskets without a clear consensus on what he wants then he is a “Boy”. A warning though; talk is cheap, actions speak louder than words. Male’s goals are not generally documented, and overall, not advertised. Trust me, though, when a Man truly believes in something he is passionate and intense, and this intensity and passion will shine through.
3. The critical Man
In the last twenty years our world has changed dramatically. This generation has access to information in an unprecedented manner that is freely available at all times. The complete insanity in all of this is the way this information is regurgitated in the same manner, over and over. There are few too many whom recycle information and cant create a free or unique thought of their own. I completely understand that information is knowledge, but “boys” are too quick to share it. “Men” please don’t automatically blast something into cyberspace because it strikes some emotional nerve in you. “Men” do your due diligence and understand thoroughly what is being passed through the endless news cycle we all now experience. When a real “Man” hasn’t, hopefully he will be completely honest and state that he doesn’t know what the hell he’s talking about. “Boys” will recycle news and headlines and do their best to pretend they know what they are talking about. Don’t be a critical asshole, just to be a critic, study the information presented. Develop your own thoughts and then choose a stance on intelligently developed ideas and thoughts.
4. The concise Man
It is too often I listen to my peers go on and on to state a point that could have been made with far fewer words. I am not saying Men should be less talkative, I’m just stating if you have appoint attempt to make it with far fewer words. It will speak volumes more about you, than going over the same track ten times. Try asking two questions instead of ten. Think before you speak. This brings up my third point about being critical. A Man should be a more attuned at listening, not just in the sense that your hearing it, but in the sense that your listening and processing the information presented. Keep it simple stupid.
5. The Man himself.
“Men” are honest with themselves and understand what they are lacking Many “Boys” perform a self assessment and believe they are a bit higher on the one to ten scale than they actually should be. If you’re a better talker than you look, try avoiding loud clubs. If you look good, good for you, try to retain some wits. Getting the opposite sex to become attracted to you isn’t as completely difficult as some make it out to be. If you’re attractive a large portion of the job is already done, and unfortunately, in most cases there isn’t much more that needs to be accomplished to have women pay attention to you. This is without a doubt the sad effect of stereotypes that are rampant throughout society. But if this isn’t you, there is no reason to lose hope. There is no such thing as a hopeless situation – just people trapped in hopeless situations. Be proud to admit you suck at something, you’re Men. All of us know people are not perfect. Men, create realistic expectations. The boys out there will still be Googling the word expectations, and yet never having any for themselves. | <urn:uuid:9d5dd636-593d-4c71-b1d7-1ec42c6b99c6> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.gpmkit.com/single-post/2015/08/12/every-male | 2023-09-26T05:50:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.967451 | 1,223 |
Couples Sans Souci originated as an upscale time-share apartment complex in the 1960s, and changed hands several times over the past half century before finally landing under the umbrella of the couples-only Couples Resorts. Since then, the property, which retains its apartment complex-like design, with multi-unit buildings sprinkled throughout the 35-acre grounds, has added a great number of amenities (several pools, restaurants, and bars; a spa; and a water sports center) as well as new rooms, which are located on the far end of the resort near the beach and behind the main pool and Palazzina restaurant.
The treatment menu is a bit more tailored than at other Couples resorts, though it still includes a wide range of therapies from Swedish and deep tissue to aromatherapy and hot stone. Other options include a variety of body scrubs, facials, and, of course, couples treatments. 2b1af7f3a8 | <urn:uuid:4caeaf22-2d63-45d5-8fc2-7c8a7044986e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.gpmpi.net/forum/welcome-to-the-forum/plage-couple-image-nue | 2023-09-26T05:00:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.972848 | 198 |
Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali shared his excitement on the upcoming ‘Apex’ movie, starring Brad Pitt, and talked about the projected positive effect that it will have on the sport.
The F1-themed movie was filming last weekend during the 2023 British Grand Prix in Silverstone, where the fictional team of APXGP had a fully fledged hospitality unit within the paddock, with a full pit garage and crew, and a bigger presence on track during the national anthem. Upcoming races in the 2023 season will provide more scenes for the movie, with filming meant to carry on in Zandvoort.
F1 boss Stefano Domenicali had positive things to say about the movie, which is produced by Lewis Hamilton’s production company, Dawn Apollo Films.
He told Motorsport.com: “I think that was just amazing to see the reaction of all the F1 community because that was the first time that really you see what has been done.
“The quality of the production is really high. It’s been a really good standard. What was important for us was to keep separate the live and the actual racing, because that’s untouchable, with the movie preparation that has been done with the different cuts or angles of cameras, and so on.
“Also the drivers were very, very happy, and the teams were appreciating what we’re doing,” the former Ferrari team boss maintained.
Domenicali went on to explain the benefits of the movie; he explained: “I think we are totally convinced because otherwise, we wouldn’t have done it, that this will take F1 to another dimension in terms of popularity, in terms of awareness.
“I’m expecting the big effect that Netflix and social media did with F1,” he claimed. “You will see the story is very sporty, very good and very real, that’s the reason why I wanted to do something. If you want to be associated with F1, and this is real F1, we need to be clean and real.
Lewis Hamilton gives the movie credibility
Speaking about Lewis Hamilton’s producing role on the project, Domenicali said: “He gives credibility to what we’re doing because he knows the details, I have to say that also Brad and all the community has been very professional to stay with us, follow with us.
“They’ve been with us since the first day we started the project. So it’s been more than one year since we talked about it. It’s very serious,” the F1 CEO concluded.
Ferrari Team Principal Fred Vasseur shared Domenicali’s positive vibes on the upcoming movie; he said: “I hope that the product will be mega for F1 and everybody will benefit from this.
“I don’t care if the engine of their cars is a GP2 engine or a Mercedes engine, or another one. I think the most important thing is that this kind of story is coming now, at the right moment for F1.
“We have a huge boom on the F1 everywhere in the world, and this kind of thing happens today, but for good reasons,” Vasseur concluded.
A very positive couple of months for F1, with Brad Pitt taking centre stage as a driver for the fictional 11th team on the grid.
The teams, drivers and fans all seem to share a common excitement and anticipation for the project, except for Max Verstappen though, who wasn’t exactly jumping up and down with excitement when asked about it.
Domenicali may be right here, that F1 would see yet another resurgence in it’s ever growing popularity when ‘Apex’ finally arrives on the screens, if Drive to Survive is anything to go by. | <urn:uuid:a359b15c-e424-4e33-bc20-eea472cc3660> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.grandprix247.com/2023/07/17/domenicali-brad-pitt-movie-to-take-f1-to-another-dimension/ | 2023-09-26T05:17:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.970669 | 831 |

A field campus at Yellowstone National Park will soon be powered by used Toyota Camry Hybrid batteries to eliminate emissions.
The Lamar Buffalo Ranch campus' five buildings will be powered by a stationary distributed energy system that features 208 used Camry Hybrid nickel-metal hydride battery packs with a total storage capacity of 85 kWh, according to Toyota.
Solar panels and onsite micro-hydro turbine systems will generate the renewable electricity stored within the battery packs, creating a sustainable, off-the-grid power source. The system will create no emissions in generation, storage, or distribution of power for the campus. It is scheduled for installation this fall.
According to Toyota, this type of reuse is expected to double the overall life span of hybrid batteries. Toyota Motor Manufacturing in Alabama is testing a similar project to help power their operations and provide backup power during emergencies. Toyota dealers in Japan have been using used hybrid battery packs for stationary power storage since 2013.
In addition to the batteries, Toyota also recently donated a RAV4 to the park. | <urn:uuid:24bb1eb8-9850-4e87-829a-cde25c012e16> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.greenfleetmagazine.com/125099/used-toyota-hybrid-batteries-to-power-national-park-campus | 2023-09-26T06:15:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.92622 | 213 |
That approach has allowed Griffin to create multifarious projects like: The Ministry of Mundane Mysteries, a phone-based, pandemic-responsive production performed in over 200 cities worldwide; The River of Forgetfulness, a Zoom-based collaboration with playwright Karen Hines and The University of Windsor hailed by The Toronto Star as “ingenious”; and his most recent project, Revelations, an escape room-inspired show about the End of the World, selected as Upintheair Theatre’s inaugural Updrafts Commission and produced in Vancouver in September 2021.
His work is often based in research-creation, a methodology he developed during a graduate program at France’s SciencesPo, collaborating with multidisciplinary artists from around the world. He is the recipient of Tarragon Theatre’s 2023 Bulmash-Siegel New Creation Development Award and Residency.
Griffin is also an experienced and passionate producer. He is a core team member and the Creative Producer at Outside the March, where responsibilities include directing, producing, dramaturgy and new work development, communications and season planning. He is the organization’s lead grant writer, responsible for $500,000+ in new grants for the charitable non-profit. He facilitated the company’s Artistic Accomplice apprenticeship program over two seasons and served as Associate Artistic Director in 2018-2019, supported by the Metcalf Foundation for the Performing Arts.
He is a white, cis-gendered, able-bodied man of Scottish, English, Irish and French descent. He mostly works from home, lives in a two-income household and graduated from his undergraduate degree debt-free because of intergenerational wealth. He is a husband, father, son, big brother, grandson, friend, collaborator, mentor and mentee.
He is grateful to split his time between the Ottawa watershed—the traditional unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabe Nation (Ottawa); and Tkaronto—the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishinaabe, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples, and covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit (Toronto). | <urn:uuid:11adf5e5-00b7-4992-a2ff-12e5ed2bbc53> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.griffinmcinnes.com/about | 2023-09-26T05:54:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.954594 | 465 |

WELCOME TO OUR NEW FACILITIES
Grže Dry-cleaners and Laundry is a family company with a long-standing tradition of washing and cleaning textiles.
Established in 1981 and based at the family home at 1 Ulica Franca Smrduja, Postojna, our activities have expanded over time to include the selling of textiles and clothing, together with sewing and mending.
Our tendency to follow novelties, to introduce modern and environmentally-friendly dry-cleaning and washing activities for textiles, and our ever growing range of products and services obliged us to move our business to new premises at 67 Tržaška cesta in Postojna, where we continue our activities in a larger space and better working conditions.
As well as relocating, our primary activities were expanded to include dry-cleaning, laundry, a textile shop and also self-service laundry and apartment rental. | <urn:uuid:90c94d09-69d6-407d-90ee-e6ff68eaadf7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.grze.si/en/ | 2023-09-26T05:02:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.952692 | 202 |

Coolpad is more known for its tablets in China, getting a pretty solid market share, but they’ve also dabbled into smartphones for the past year or so. Today we uncover a new model of theirs, certified by TENAA under the name Coolpad 8692-A00.
This device stands out through a dual camera and a fingerprint sensor. The handset looks a lot like a Huawei or HTC One from the back, with a slightly rounded metal case. Coolpad 8692-A00 comes in white silver, black or gold and measures 8.65 mm in thickness. It weighs 185 grams and has a 6 inch TFT Full HD screen, so it’s more of a phablet in this case.
On board we find a 1.8 GHz hexa core processor, probably the Snapdragon 808, as well as 3 GB of RAM, 32 GB of storage and Android 5.1.1 as the OS. At the back there’s a 13 megapixel shooter, while upfront we’ve got an 8 MP one. Bezels look quite narrow and the overall format feels like a LeTv or Huawei model.

Today, March 31st of 2023, marks the final day of ATF amnesty regarding pistols equipped with a stabilizing brace. As of tomorrow, anyone who has not submitted an ATF Form 1 and still has a stabilizing brace attached to their pistol will be committing a felony according to the ATF’s new rule.
So what can you do? Well, I’m no lawyer, but…
On the 26th of April, 2023, ATF Director Steven Dettelbach was sworn in before congress to share testimony about these stabilizing braces. In his testimony, he stated that simply removing the brace from the pistol was enough to comply. When asked if the ATF had any plans to charge people with constructive possession of a short-barreled rifle (SBR), the director replied in the negative.
That turned out to be a lie. Today, many firearms-related youtube channels have videos revealing and discussing the ATF’s plans to charge people with constructive possession.
So what is this “constructive possession”? In the most simple terms, it is a way for prosecutors to charge you with a crime you didn’t commit because you COULD commit it. How the ATF and other law enforcement entities would, in this case, conduct such a task is to find that you own a pistol and you own a stabilizing brace. They aren’t connected, but they could be stored next to each other or even in different rooms. You could even keep the brace in the storage shed out back while your AR pistol is in the safe in your bedroom. If the government’s puppy euthanizers knock on your door and find them both, there is the possibility of being charged.
So how can we avoid this?
There are a few options to stay compliant with the cheapest, fastest and easiest way being to remove the brace and toss it in the trash.
Another thing you can do, granted you have an AR pistol, is to spend $80 to $150 to get yourself a 16” (or longer) barrel and replace the 7” or 10.5” barrel on your pistol to turn it into a rifle. Doing this lets you use the arm brace as a stock and you’re good to go if where you live doesn’t have other goofy gun laws.
The ATF is getting sued left and right these days, and the chances of this rule being struck down is higher than 0%, so there’s one more easy option you may want to consider: Remove the brace, call up a trusted friend who doesn’t have an AR pistol (you don’t want your friend charged too, after all) and ask if your friend can store your arm brace. This way, there’s almost no way you can get charged with constructive possession. | <urn:uuid:efbe28ee-e02a-4bed-8365-7d4f3e760b98> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.guncritic.com/c/news/lets-talk-about-arm-braces | 2023-09-26T05:11:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.955388 | 581 |

Palisades Interstate Park Restraining Order Defense Attorneys
Served with Restraining Order Bergen County, Need a Lawyer? Call Us Now
Need a lawyer for a restraining order case in Bergen County? We can help.
Travis J. Tormey recently represented a client at a Final Restraining Order (FRO) hearing at the Bergen County Superior Court in Hackensack, New Jersey. Our client was a married father of two with no prior criminal record. He suffers from depression issues and the basis for the restraining order was a claim that our client threatened to commit suicide with a knife in his own home. His wife allegedly wrestled the knife away from him and he was subsequently hospitalized.
Mr. Tormey was able to successfully argue to the Judge that there was no domestic violence committed in this case. In addition, our client’s wife clearly testified that he never hit her on this occasion or at any other time, and that she was clearly not afraid of our client, as she wrestled a knife away from him so that he could not hurt himself. We successfully argued that a restraining order was not necessary to protect the wife from her husband and that the fact that she was afraid that he would kill himself did not mean that she was afraid of him or needed protection from him. The judge agreed and dismissed the temporary restraining order (TRO).

Software apps and online services
This system could be used to monitor selected environmental parameters like temperature, illumination, relative humidity, atmospheric pressure for the proper growth of plants in green houses. Relay module is used to control electrical loads (irrigation pumps, heaters, lamps and automated windows). Automation allows greenhouse owners to focus on growing the plants.
The main goal of this project was to develop a system that would test the network of sensors and actuators.
Management of this system is provided by a mobile device (e.g. a Smartphone). It is connected to the Mesh network through a hybrid router.
The idea is presented in the above diagram.
Elements of the system communicate with each other using Wireless Thread network protocol.
Thread Network Client
Each of the clients of the mesh network is based on NXP MKW24D512 Kinetis Wireless MCU.
The NXP FRDM-KW24D boards and Arduino Shields has been used to test the software and communication between elements of the system.
Program code for FRDM-KW24D boards has been written using Kinetis MKW2xD and MCR20A Connectivity Software. It has been compiled in Kinetis Design Studio IDE.
The FRDM-KW24D board connectors are compatible with Arduino Headers.
Various type of additional shields, sensors and actuators have been attached to FRDM-KW24D boards.
Data is sent to the NXP’s Rapid IoT Prototyping Kit though wirelles connection using Thread protocol.
The NXP Rapid IoT Prototyping Kit has a KW41Z Wireless MCU and integrate a Bluetooth Low Energy 4.2, Generic FSK and 802.15.4 compliant modem.
The KW41Z works as a hybrid BLE - Thread wireless router. This microcontroller can control environmental parameters and keep them within given limits using actuators. Firmware for the KW41Z MCU has been written in C using SDK for KW41Z and MCUXpresso IDE.
User can manage the system using BLE Terminal in IoT Toolbox application. | <urn:uuid:ae45d388-ce4a-41b0-931c-2efc9ae3502f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.hackster.io/dreamlab/greenhouse-monitoring-and-controlling-system-d1baf7 | 2023-09-26T06:04:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.868461 | 476 |
One of the primary methods of developing full 360 waves involves brushing the hair. Another method is to apply various pomades, greases or other wave hair products to the head before bedtime and then sleeping with what is known as a "wave cap". Although often referred to as wave caps, they are also commonly known as du rags (do rag).
Popularity Of 360 Waves
Waves, whether 360 or not, are popular with younger African American males for a number of reasons:
1. They are highly prized as a type of status and accomplishment, especially when they are carefully nurtured and developed into the 360 circular pattern. Even more so when the waves are deep and shiny.
2. They are often more popular with African American women who sometimes prefer that their men have softer, touchable hairstyles. Generally, many women do prefer a wave style over styles that are less touchable such as braids, knotty dreads or locs or natural styles. Especially when the hair is naturally coarse and rough.
3. The wave and 360 wave style is often popular with African American celebrities, Hip Hop stars and sports figures. As a result, the style is sometimes considered to be the highest in African American male hair fashions.
African American Male Hair Texture
How successful someone is at developing a complete 360 wave pattern depends on a number of factors but the most important is the natural hair texture which is determined solely by genetics.
The key to having great waves, whether they are 360 degrees or not is tied directly to the texture of the hair. Generally speaking, African American male hair falls into two primary textural categories which are:
While there may be exceptions to this rule, one more common occurrence is when there is mixed textures. It is more often the case that a head of hair may be a combination of both soft, fine and delicate textures with coarse strands. In some cases, the textures will be locate on different parts of the scalp.
Having mixed texture makes developing a full and deep 360 wave pattern more challenging. Usually textural challenges occur at the nape of the neck and along the sides of the head.
The key to having great waves, whether they completely form a 360 pattern or not is to have hair that is not too straight or too soft. This will prevent the waves from forming.
Because a lot of pomade and grease is used to help with the waves, it is often suggested that a clarifying type of shampoo be used on a regular basis to help remove the grease from the hair.
Listed below are some general shampoo tips.
1. If hair is normal or not super dry, wash daily with shampoo that will not make hair too soft. Use warm but avoid using hot water for the shampoo. Hot water dries out hair making it harder to wave. 2. Rinse out shampoo completely. 3. Use wave brush to brush in wave pattern. Be sure to brush along the grain. 4. Add rinse-out conditioner letting it remain in hair at least 5 minutes. It can be left in hair longer if desired. 5. Rinse conditioner out with warm...not hot water. Do not wash all the conditioner completely out. A little helps to keep dry hair moist which makes it better for creating waves. 6. At the very end do a quick 25 second dose with cool/cold water. Use a clean plastic bottle pre-filled with cool water and dose it over head. 7. Finish with warm water. 8. Let hair air dry until about 90% dry. Add pink lotion, jojoba, baby or similar oil as desired being careful to keep off skin since this can cause skin breakouts. 9. Add some wave wax to hair. 10. Use good hard brush and brush thoroughly to get waves to form. Remember to keep brushing hair during the day. 11. Get a hot towel and then press it down on your hair in your natural wave direction. 12. Keep hair moist throughout the day by adding in a little oil as needed OR using a spritzer bottle filled with a little conditioner mixed with warm water and shaken well. 13. Wear a du rag or similar cap for sleeping at night.
Creating 360 Waves
Creating 360 Waves require the following steps:
1. Commitment 2. Good barber that knows how to cut hair to maximize wave pattern. 3. Using the right wave enhancing products. 4. Selecting the proper brush (hard vs.medium or soft) bristle 5. Following the best shampoo & care techniques. 6. Lots of brushing to deepen the pattern and care for the waves. 7. Willingness to try new methods of wave care for better results. 8. Hard work & patience.

I have to say that of all the things that I have heard that people have gotten stuck in their hair, I think that tar has to be one of the worst. Yes there are some remedies for hair traumas like gum, Vaseline, castor oil, paint and rancid odors, but in some cases, your only option is to cut it out.While it never hurts to try and remove a foreign object or subject yourself, keep in mind that you may need professional help. Your favorite stylist might have some secret tips tucked away that can help. When in doubt call a hair pro so see if they can talk you down from your latest hair jam.
Gum & Sticky Candy
Take a little bit of creamy peanut butter and work it slowly into the gum that is stuck in the hair. Use a wide tooth comb, pick or the tail of a rattail comb to remove the peanut butter and the gum. Work on very small sections of the hair at a time. If the gum is hard to remove try multiple applications of the peanut butter. Never use crunchy peanut butter or you may add to the ultimate problem.
An alternative option is Wesson or other salad oil. The oil will soften the gum and make it easier to dislodge from the hair. Work a little oil into the hair around the gum or candy and use a pick or rattail comb to work the object out.
Another option is to apply ice cubes to the gum and "freeze" the gum until hardens and is easier to pick out of the hair.
Be sure to shampoo hair well after all the gum is out. You may find that your hair has a lingering smell of peanuts or salad so don't hang around elephants for a few days. Other than that, your hair should be just fine.
Yes, believe it or not, I have had a few emails from frantic moms with tar headed babies. Don't ask me how it happened, you don’t want to know. Keep in mind that anything in life can occur when you least expect it. Just be prepared.
Tar can be a little trickier to get out but it can be done with lots of patience. Get some old fashioned wax paper from the grocery store. It has to have wax. No other paper will do as well.
If the tar is in the hair in a spot that makes it possible to drape over an ironing board you are in a better position to try and "iron" it out Apply the wax paper to either side of the hair. Set the iron on a very low heat setting. Carefully touch the iron to the top of the wax paper. Experiment with the heat until you are able to soften the tar from the iron and it slowly attaches to the wax paper. Press down on the wax paper with your fingers to help pull the tar up. Use your fingers to pull the paper with the tar off the hair. Sort of like pulling pie dough from wax paper.
This may take a little experimentation. If you take your time and work the iron's heat onto the tar it will eventually soften to the point that the paper will help pull it out of the hair. You may need to try more than one application of heat.
If the tar is near the scalp you have a completely different issue. Do not use a warm or hot iron near the scalp or any part of the head that could be burned by the appliance.
You will still need the wax paper for removal. Use a blow dryer and direct the heat to the tar area. Soften it with the heat. Apply the wax paper and gently blot it down on the softened tar to remove.
When all else fails head for the scissors. Tar can be unbeatable if it is close to the scalp, in a large ball or super hard.
Luckily the news is good. Vaseline, which is composed of petroleum jelly (petrolatum) can be removed from hair. One of the most reliable removal methods involves cornstarch.
Apply a little cornstarch to the hair and carefully pat, (don't rub), it into the hair. The cornstarch will absorb some, if not all of the Vaseline. After you apply the cornstarch shampoo it out with a good clarifying shampoo or a similar product. Most, if not all, of the Vaseline should be removed with the first treatment. If not, repeat until all the greasiness is gone. Be sure to use warm not hot water for the shampoo. Cold water makes the Vaseline worse. If you are out of cornstarch you can try a baking soda/shampoo option. Mix one teaspoon of baking soda and mix it with a regular baby shampoo. Pat the mixture onto the hair while it is still dry. Then add warm to hot water. This should help. Repeat until all the Vaseline is removed.
Although flour will work as a cornstarch substitute, it is not usually as effective. Flour may also tend to dry the hair out more than the cornstarch.Keep in mind that after applying cornstarch, flour or baking soda, you hair may need some extra TLC and a good deep conditioning treatment.

I’m a pro at this one. During a high school folly I decided to pour an entire bottle of castor oil on my hair. Why? I thought it would make it super healthy. Well duh! The result was a giant grease spot that lasted for days.
After several days of agony my Aunt Margie, the family hairstylist, took pity on me. She helped me degrease. First she patted and blotted a lot of the oil off with paper towels. She then poured a dime sized blob of Prell shampoo into the palms of her hands. Aunt Margie patted the mixture on top of my greased hair. She applied a little bit of warm water and worked up a lather that she spread throughout my hair. After just two applications of Prell my hair was castor oil free.
The bad news about Prell is that it may also remove hair color and natural hair oils in the process. My hair felt very dry and brittle after the removal operation was completed. Aunt Margie slathered on lots of gooey conditioner and let me sit under a dryer for several minutes. Viola, my hair was back to normal. Well almost.
Another option is to apply a thin layer of cornstarch and pat it carefully into the castor oil sections. Flour or cornmeal can also be used in a pinch. Apply shampoo to the dry hair first. Then apply water. This process will help to cut the oil more efficiently.Remember to always deep condition after any drastic gunk removal operation. Better yet, skip the castor oil routine all together.
Cornstarch - Miracle Oil Remover
Whether you find yourself gooped up with Vaseline, castor oil, mineral oil or any other oil that won't easily rinse out, try the cornstarch remedy first. The beauty of cornstarch is that it will bind with many oils and help to lift them from the hair cuticle. This is a lot like pouring salt on icy roads to help get traction for walking. The cornstarch will work well with most oils and many grease based products.
Smoke & Other Odors
The instant remedy is to wipe a softening sheet like Bounce through your dry hair. The chemicals on the sheet will grab the odors and remove them as the sheet makes contact with your hair.
For super stubborn odors rinse your hair in undiluted tomato sauce. If you have damaged or porous blonde hair be advised that this may not be the best treatment for your hair since it may leave a slight stain.
Hair Color That Is Too Dark
If you or your stylist colored your hair and the shade is too dark you have a few options. Pour some Prell shampoo into the palm of your hand. Pat the shampoo on top of your dry hair and make sure the shampoo covers completely. Leave the shampoo on your hair for 30-45 minutes. Rinse with warm water.
Apply hot oil to your hair. Use extra virgin olive oil if possible. Wrap your hair in plastic and let sit for 45 minutes. Take Prell shampoo and pat on top of the oil. Let sit for 5 minutes. Rinse well with warm water.
Apply Queen Helene, Vo5 or similar hot oil to your hair. Wrap your hair in plastic and let sit for 60 minutes. Shampoo with clarifying shampoo like Philou Green Apple or Suave clarifying. Rinse well with warm water.
Combine 1/4 to 1/2 box of baking soda (not powder) with enough spring or distilled water to make a paste. Pat the paste onto wet hair. Don't rub the mixture unnecessarily or it may cause fragile ends to break. Rinse well. Apply a good rinse-out and leave in conditioner.
Most artist’s paste and glues will wash out with shampoo and warm water. Sometimes the paste or glue will dry in clumps in hair. It is best to use a pick to pick the clumps out first and then try shampoo.
Glue & Super Glue
This is definitely stickier. There are products on the market designed to remove super glue. The best idea is to contact the maker of the super glue and ask what they recommend for removing the glue from hair and skin. Some hardware stores will also have a special glue remover that can be used on hair and skin. Always test a very small part of the area with the remover before going full blast with the removal process. Some removers may be harsh for hair and should be used very carefully.
Most paint on the market today is water based and will wash out with shampoo and warm water. If for some reason the paint does not wash out it is best to call the store where you bought the paint for suggestions. A tiny bit of paint remover can also be carefully deployed. The key is to use only a tiny amount to avoid harming your hair. Always read the bottle of paint remover to be sure it is safe for hair or skin.
Ink, Magic Marker, Crayon & Toner Ink
Most ink will wash out with a few shampoo applications. Some ink may be more difficult to remove. One possible ink blasting solution is to apply a tiny bit of WD40 from the hardware store. Don't apply more than a small amount or you may damage the hair.
WD40 will also remove printer toner ink, crayon and some magic marker stains from hair. Before whipping out the WD 40 always try shampoo and water first. If that fails to remove the stain, experiment with the WD40. Apply a small test amount with cotton balls to determine if it will remove or fade the stain.
Another option is to try undiluted Prell shampoo. Apply the undiluted shampoo directly to the target stain on dry hair. Let the Prell set for a few minutes and then rinse to see if the stain will wash out.
In most cases the various stains will fade over time. If the stain is huge or totally unsightly you may have to consider the scissors as a last resort.
When it comes to dealing with foreign objects in your hair, keep an open mind, but be ready to compromise and call your hairstylist for help. I am sure that I have not heard of everything that can get caught in hair. If you have experienced an unusual problem with a foreign object please email me with the details.
