Jenkins is a widely used open-source automation server that helps to automate the building, testing, and deployment of software applications. One of the most important features of Jenkins is its ability to integrate with other tools and services. In this article, we will focus on setting up the Jenkins GitHub webhook integration.
Before we dive into the details, let's first understand what a webhook is. A webhook is a way for an application to send real-time information to another application. In the context of Jenkins and GitHub, a webhook is a mechanism by which GitHub notifies Jenkins of changes to a repository. Jenkins can then automatically build and test the code in response to the webhook notification. The webhook is used to trigger a build in Jenkins whenever a new commit is pushed to a GitHub repository.
Importance of Jenkins Github Webhook Integration
The Jenkins GitHub webhook integration is important for several reasons:
- Streamlined Development Workflow: With the integration of Jenkins and GitHub, developers can push their code changes to GitHub and have Jenkins automatically build and test their code. This streamlined workflow saves time and reduces the risk of errors, as developers do not have to manually trigger builds or tests.
- Faster Feedback Loops: By automating the build and test process with Jenkins, developers receive feedback on their changes faster. This allows them to iterate on their code more quickly and identify and fix bugs sooner, resulting in a more stable and reliable codebase.
- Continuous Integration: Jenkins GitHub webhook integration enables continuous integration, which is the practice of frequently merging code changes into a shared repository and automatically building and testing the code. This helps to catch errors and conflicts early in the development process and ensures that the codebase is always in a releasable state.
- Enhanced Collaboration: With Jenkins and GitHub integration, teams can collaborate more effectively. Developers can see the build and test results for each commit, making it easier to identify issues and work collaboratively to resolve them. Additionally, developers can receive notifications of build and test failures, allowing them to quickly address any issues that arise.
- Overall, the Jenkins GitHub webhook integration helps to improve the development process, reduce errors, and enhance collaboration among team members.
Setting up Jenkins GitHub Webhook Integration
The process involves the following steps:
- Installing Jenkins
- Installing and configuring the GitHub plugin in Jenkins
- Creating a Jenkins job to build the GitHub project
- Creating a webhook in GitHub
- Testing the webhook
Let's discuss each step in detail.
Step 1: Installing Jenkins
The first step in setting up Jenkins GitHub Webhook Integration is to download and install Jenkins. Jenkins can be installed on various operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. The installation process varies depending on the operating system you are using. You can refer to the Jenkins documentation for detailed instructions on how to install Jenkins on your operating system.
Once Jenkins is installed, you can access it using a web browser by navigating to http://localhost:8080 (assuming that you installed Jenkins on the same machine where you are running the browser).
Step 2: Installing and configuring the GitHub plugin in Jenkins
Jenkins comes with a wide range of plugins that can be used to extend its functionality. The GitHub plugin is one such plugin that allows Jenkins to interact with GitHub.
To install the GitHub plugin, navigate to the Jenkins dashboard, click on Manage Jenkins, and then click on Manage Plugins. In the Available tab, search for "GitHub plugin" and install it. Or run the CLI command below, or instead, you can choose to run a direct download, and run one of the releases. | <urn:uuid:dedd014e-ae50-4502-952b-f3cf8fafce36> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.hatica.io/blog/github-jenkins-webhooks-integration/ | 2023-09-26T06:05:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.899251 | 755 |
Victoria's air quality is generally good, but sometimes air pollution occurs at concentrations that affects the environment and human health.
Effects of air pollution on health
Air pollution can cause symptoms immediately upon exposure, such as coughing, watering eyes, difficulty breathing and angina.
It may also cause long-term harm that is more subtle. You might not realise how long-term exposure affects your health, or worsens medical conditions over time (Environment Protection Authority 2018).
Causes of poor air quality
A range of natural and human sources of air pollution affect air quality.
Primary air pollutants are directly emitted through mechanical or combustion processes.
They are measured in microns according to the size of the particles.
- PM10 (10 microns) in wind-blown dust from unpaved roads
- PM2.5 (2.5 microns) in smoke from bushfires, and sulfur dioxide from burning coal or diesel fuel.
Secondary air pollutants are formed from chemical reactions in the atmosphere.
Ozone, for example, is formed in sunlight from the reaction of volatile organic compounds with nitrous oxides.
Air monitoring in Victoria
PM10 fine particles
- The higher trend in PM10 fine particles in Melbourne (2003 to 2009) occurred during a period of drought and bushfires. Since then, the number of exceedance days has decreased, excluding Brooklyn which is influenced by localised sources of dust.
- In 2017, the PM10 fine particle 24-hour standard was exceeded in Melbourne for five days - two of those days were attributed to dust and three were due to fires.
Figure 1. Number of exceedance days for PM10 standard- average for Port Phillip region
PM2.5 fine particles
- Compared with earlier years, and since 2014, the number of days exceeding the PM2.5 fine particle 24-hour standard in Melbourne has increased. This is partly due to changes in monitoring technology, with data available every day instead of once every three days.
- In 2017, the PM2.5 fine particle 24-hour standard was exceeded for 19 days - 6.5 of those days were attributed to land burns and 12.5 were due to urban sources (domestic wood heaters).
Figure 2. Number of exceedance days for PM 2.5 standard – average for Port Phillip region
- High ozone concentrations are most likely to occur on days over 30°C with light winds and in the presence of precursor pollutants to react in the atmosphere.
- Long-term trends (1979 to 2018) show the peak one-hour ozone concentration at a Melbourne station for each year has decreased.
Figure 3. Peak maximum one-hour ozone concentrations for Port Phillip
- The annual average concentration of ozone is increasing.
- Predictions for hotter, drier conditions increase the risk of higher ozone concentrations in the future.
Figure 4. Long-term trend: annual average ozone concentrations for Port Phillip region
Future outlook for air quality in Victoria
While Victoria's air quality is good by international standards, and has improved significantly over recent decades, there remain challenges ahead.
Projected large population growth in Melbourne and regional centres comes with an associated increase in registered vehicles, infrastructure and industries. These all affect sources of air pollution and the population’s exposure to air pollution (Environment Protection Authority Victoria 2018).
In addition to overall population size, there will be potential changes to the proportion of groups more sensitive to air pollution. This includes people over 65 years, people with heart or lung conditions, and children under 14 years of age (Environment Protection Authority Victoria 2018).
Climate change is also predicted to affect future air quality by altering the meteorological variables that influence the development, chemical transformation, dispersion and deposition of air pollutants (Environment Protection Authority Victoria 2018).
Over the coming decades Victorians are likely to experience:
- worsening heatwaves and more frequent single days of extreme heat
- longer and harsher bushfire seasons
- increased periods of drought or drier conditions (Watts 2015).
These are all related to the changing climate, and all impact on the type and scale of exposure to air pollution (Environment Protection Authority Victoria 2018).
Extended dry conditions may also cause large-scale dust events, further reducing air quality (Environment Protection Authority Victoria 2018).

With valuations of digital health companies expected to decline in 2023, investors in the sector are Missourian in spirit in “Show Me” mode: here, it’s all about the clinical evidence and ROI, according to a survey from GSR Ventures. conducted among over 50 major digital health venture capital investors.
Most of the 50+ responses to the survey expect that in 2023, valuations for digital health companies will decrease by over 20%: that’s a net of 83% including 60% expecting valuations to fall 20-40%, and 23% anticipating declines of over 40% of valuations in the next year.
On the upside, digital health investors see greatest opportunity for start-ups to focus on value-based care models and consumerization of healthcare businesses (each with 29% of investors keen), followed by interoperability and connectivity and reimbursement for digital health solutions (with over 17% enthusiastic for each).
Regardless of the clinical area or solution a digital health start-up is addressing, investors are saying “show me the money and the ROI” for that venture: Virtually all of the investors studied told GSR that a measurable teturn on investment would be important or very important for most companies.
Furthermore, 8 in 10 investors said that clinical evidence and trials backing up the innovations would be important or very important.
The investors also ranked sectors holding the most promise in digital health for 2023; these are expected to be:
- AI/machine learning (45%)
- Healthcare data and analytics (37%)
- Remote patient monitoring (29%)
- AI drug discovery and clinical trial technology (each at 27%), and,
- Interoperability (22%).
Key clinical spaces holding the most promise, investors said, were oncology, mental health, primary care, and neurology.
Health Populi’s Hot Points: It’s good to see the investors’ focusing in on digital health solutions and investment opportunities to address provider shortages and clinician burnout: roughly one-half of the investors called out burnout and shortages, which compromises a key pillar in the Quadruple Aim: the wellbeing of the clinical workforce.
The second most prominent health care challenge presenting investment opportunities for digital health was changing reimbursement models, which another part of the survey related to value-based payment. This area, too, can help address and solve for fragmentation of services, aligning the value and values of both clinicians and patients alike.
Looking to 2023, the clinical evidence and ROI that support clinicians’ wellbeing and value-based care, together, could drive returns-on-investments across several dimensions: for health systems and larger health economies, as well as for individual clinicians’ and patients’ wellbeing and outcomes. | <urn:uuid:05fead9d-8bb8-4478-8cef-e5c7db88d61a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.healthpopuli.com/2022/12/06/show-me-the-evidence-and-the-roi-digital-health-investing-in-2023-per-gsr-ventures/ | 2023-09-26T05:25:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.940125 | 575 |
I read surprisingly few parenting books during my first pregnancy. There was something in me that felt like I was probably going to be okay. I believed that since my mom had done a pretty job raising four kids, I had a pretty good idea of what I was supposed to do. Randomly, near the end of my pregnancy, a friend of mine suggested that I give a book on baby sleep a try. She swore it changed everything for her, and her suggesting the book brought up doubts that I might not actually know what I was doing. I didn’t really have much of a plan for getting my kids to sleep each night, so maybe I should give it a shot. I read a chapter or two before giving birth and then devoured the rest over the course of a day while nursing my newborn around the clock. This books made some pretty attractive promises centered around me getting the sleep I was desperate for a few days into motherhood. The book, Babywise, is a pretty controversial book in the parenting world. It suggests rigorous sleep training techniques that you typically love or hate. I’m not here to stir up a fight on sleep training, so I’ll leave it at this: I knew in my gut that this book wasn’t a fit for my family. Nonetheless, I powered through the methods for two nights before my husband finally suggested we call it quits. This was my first of many experiences feeling like the parenting advice I was reading or hearing was asking me to question [linkbuilder id=”6870″ text=”parenting practices”] that came naturally to me. It’s not that I’m some amazing parenting expert, I’m just a regular mom. The longer I am a parent and exposed to “parenting culture,” the more it feels like parents are obsessed with being perfect and that the advice given follows suit. Like Oliver Burkeman, writer for The Guardian, I take issue with the extremes presented by so many parenting books. On top of that, I simply didn’t get how any one method could work for all children or all parents. Parenting three kids has taught me this couldn’t possibly be true.
Who knows how to parent?
Parenting books can provide confidence for nervous or anxious parents. I know, because I have turned to them during seasons of struggle. When we turn to parenting books, we’re typically looking for advice on how to parent well. Maybe a book was forced on us by a friend or perhaps we sought out a book because we had a specific fear or concern about being a mom or dad. Whatever our reasons, we want answers from someone who knows their stuff, right? Unfortunately, we might be too trusting of who claims to be a parenting expert, turning to books based on their position on the bestseller list instead of their authors’ credentials. Authors of parenting books should be experts in a child development, which means they should probably be trained a child psychologist, child psychiatrist, or have some kind of postgraduate education specifically focused on child development, according to Owen Muir, MD, child psychiatrist and medical director at Brooklyn Minds, a concierge mental health treatment center in Brooklyn. “If you can find a single parenting book written by a child psychiatrist, you’re doing pretty well,” Muir says. Specifically, he notes that even pediatricians, who are experts in the medical side of childcare like screening for conditions or administering vaccines, aren’t great sources of “expert” parenting advice simply because they don’t have postgraduate education in child development. “In child psychiatry training, you actually spend time in nurseries,” he says in providing a comparison. “A lot of the parenting advice comes from people who … don’t really have expertise how young people develop their ability to talk about thoughts and feelings or their ability to learn.” Unfortunately, many psychologists or psychiatrists with specialized training in child development don’t step in and write a book until something is wrong, meaning they focus in on helping parents with exceptional circumstances such as caring for a child with special needs, mental health problems, or trauma in their past, according to Muir. This leaves parents with raising typically developing children in a typical environment with a smaller library of well-written books at their disposal.
The Problem with Extremes
Outside of carefully checking the credentials of the authors of any parenting advice books you read, it’s also important to take the content into consideration. The author being an expert doesn’t automatically qualify a book as a good fit for your family. Parenting books, and self-help books in general, tend to use extremes to get their point across and get their books sold. “When you’re trying to win at having the book that’s bought by the most people, you’re often trying to catch the most eyes, and sometimes that results in advice that’s flashy but there’s not a lot of substance there,” says Shane Gregory Owens, PhD, a psychologist who works with parents and young adults. The problem with extremes in general is that they’re actually not a great way to parent or to raise well-adjusted kids. When parents are extreme, kids learn to be extreme, too, according to Muir. Take attachment parenting, which Burkemen mentions in his article and Muir brings up as an example of extreme parenting practices. According to the organization’s website, attachment parenting is based on the idea that parents and children can build healthy bonds through very specific parenting practices. At face value, that sounds pretty mild. When you dig deeper into the values, there are specific principles promoting co-sleeping, breastfeeding with very little flexibility or structure, and discouraging allowing the baby to cry at any point. In Muir’s mind, parenting practices that avoid parent-child separation to such an extreme degree actually contradict what secure attachment is about—a child’s ability to feel secure in a world that isn’t always predictable and where their wants and needs aren’t constantly the main focus. “You want children who are flexible, who can handle challenges, who can handle new experiences, and who can meet new people in their life and engage with them healthfully and not full of terror,” he says.
Lead with what you know; ask questions about the rest.
So, should parents avoid parenting advice books altogether? Hardly. Instead, parents should be careful about why they seek out parenting books, how they read them and apply the advice, and what they use that advice to accomplish. According to Owens, for most parents, parenting well can begin from a place of starting with what you know and filling in the rest. “You were brought up by your parents, and if you were brought up successfully, you already have a set of tools that you can bring to things,” he says. Then, as you run into things you don’t feel certain about or that you have questions about, move on to asking for advice from people within your circle. Turn to family or friends before turning to books. At this point, if you still have unanswered questions, parenting books are great for filling in the gaps. As you start looking for books and experts, keep a few things in mind. Firstly, remember there is no one answer for parenting well. “Audition many books, stay away from the notion that any book has the right answers in it,” says Owens. “There few absolutes when it comes to parenting. There are few things that absolutely are right and few things that are absolutely wrong.” Follow the advice in these books with the understanding that following any set of advice at all times isn’t realistic. Overly prescriptive parenting books, books full of lists of shoulds and shouldn’ts, set unrealistic expectations for parents, according to Owens. Additionally, trust your knowledge of your child and your ability to respond to their needs. Parenting books can be helpful, but they can also overcomplicate what we already know about kids—they respond well to positive attention and positive feedback. For most parents, according to Muir, this means doing the things that already come naturally to us like responding with empathy to their emotions. “If it sounds outlandish or counterintuitive, it probably is,” says Muir. “None of this is particularly rocket science: Pay attention to your kids. If they’re sad, recognize that.” Lastly, and maybe most importantly, remember that children do not need perfect parents. You’re probably already a good enough parent. Researchers point this out in an article for Disease in Childhood, writing that the vast majority of parents are doing a satisfactory job while prescribing more intensive intervention for the minority of parents who are truly struggling. In fact, most kids respond pretty darn well to parents who are just doing okay. Parents who are not on point 100 percent of the time, who do not always understand exactly what their child needs, actually teach their children really important lessons for emotional development. They learn flexibility and they learn to consider the possibility of misunderstandings, according to Muir. Catherine Pearlman, PhD, licensed social worker and author of Ignore It!: How Selectively Looking the Other Way Can Decrease Behavior Problems and Increase Parenting Satisfaction is a big proponent of good enough parenting and shares in an essay for for Brightly that imperfect parenting also builds independence in children, teaching them to be resourceful as they deal with disappointments in life. For me, and for parents everywhere, this is permission to feel confident in our abilities and confident in our children, believing that we have the skills to meet their needs and they have the ability to adapt, even when we miss the mark. | <urn:uuid:91f953d2-ba94-4571-a7da-8552508b5881> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.healthyway.com/content/books-advice-or-just-wing-it-finding-parenting-advice-in-a-parenting-culture-obsessed-with-perfection/ | 2023-09-26T06:17:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.972161 | 2,029 |
The Naida was the premium hearing aid offering for people with severe to profound and profound hearing loss for many years. It remained unchallenged until the introduction of the Enzo from ReSound which has been updated consistently and the Xceed from Oticon which was introduced in the recent past. Many professionals still like to rely on the Naida range and Phonak has consistently updated the platform over the years. In February 2021 they updated the Naida range with the latest Paradise technology, bringing all of the features and functionality to the Naida platform.
Smaller, Lighter, Even More Features
The new Naída Paradise devices are 14% smaller, 27% lighter, and packed with Paradise features and technology including next-level, powerful sound, industry-leading connectivity and a new custom program memory feature which will be introduced soon with the new myPhonak 5.0 app.
Two Models, One Rechargeable
The new Naida Paradise platform is made up of two Behind The Ear Models, a Naida Ultra Power which is powered by a 675 battery and a Naida Rechargeable Power hearing device. The Naída Paradise UP model features a powerful double receiver that delivers up to 141 dB of peak gain and up to 130 dB in the rechargeable model.
It's powered by the new PRISM™ sound processing chip and features AutoSense OS™ 4.0 for a host of premium features that work together seamlessly. Like the original Paradise devices, the hearing aids can automatically enhance soft speech in quiet places, reduce noise in loud environments and built-in accelerometers detect movement to automatically steer the microphones to improve listening when on the move.
Interestingly, the Naida P Rechargeable is billed as covering losses from mild to severe. It makes me wonder about Phonak's plans for Bolero hearing aids. Will there be a Bolero Paradise range if the Naida P-R pretty much covers the needs?
The Naída Paradise offers the full connectivity delivered by Paradise. The Phonak system means that users can wirelessly stream audio directly into both hearing aids from virtually any smartphone, TV, laptop, tablet, eBook and more. They also provide two active Bluetooth® connections at the same time, so users can stay connected to their two most important devices without having to manually switch back and forth.
Like the rest of the Paradise range, Naída Paradise hearing aids also offerRogerDirect™. It means that users can receive the signal from Roger devices with no additional accessory required. Of course, the devices will also come telecoil equipped for connection to loop systems and t-coil enabled equipment.
The Naida Paradise range also offers Phonak's new Tap Control2 which allows users to double-tap on their ear or the aids to accept or end a call, pause or resume streaming and activate smartphone voice-assistants like Siri® or Google Assistant™.
myPhonak Memory feature & Roger On™
According to Phonak, the myPhonak app's 5.0 update in late Spring will include a new myPhonak Memory feature, which Phonak says has been requested by consumers and hearing care professionals alike. The new feature will allow users to save a custom program from the app to the hearing aids.
It will also allow them to access the last used custom program using the hearing aid's multi-function button. Of course, users will also be able to access other custom programs via the app. In the past, users would have to switch back to their custom programme after a notification manually through the app.
The issue was that the aids would default to the autosense programme after a notification, something which isn't necessarily desirable. This update eliminates the need to switch back to a custom setting after a notification alert which was driving many Paradise users to distraction.
Phonak also announced the introduction of a new member of the Roger family called Roger On. The new Roger On remote microphone will feature MultiBeam 2.0 technology and an improved pointing mode that allows the user to zoom into a speaker by simply pointing. Roger On will be compatible with most hearing aids and cochlear implants and will be able to stream a variety of audio content.
All in all, it's good news for users with severe to profound and profound hearing loss. The connectivity is something that they could badly do with. The new Roger kit will also be most welcome as Roger has proven to be outstanding for people who need all the help they can get.

The British Racing Drivers’ Club have suspended Nelson Piquet’s membership with immediate effect following his racial slur against Lewis Hamilton.
Triple world champion Piquet, 69, apologised to Hamilton on Wednesday, but said the offensive term was mistranslated.
In a statement issued ahead of this weekend’s British Grand Prix at Silverstone, the BRDC, which owns the Northamptonshire circuit, said it anticipated Piquet’s membership will be terminated at a board meeting next month.
A statement read: “The BRDC Board of Directors has noted that, in a Brazilian podcast last November, Nelson Piquet Senior, an Honorary Member of the BRDC, described Lewis Hamilton using a racially offensive expression in Portuguese. The apology issued yesterday by Mr Piquet Sr has also been noted.
“In view of the BRDC’s zero-tolerance policy towards any act involving or suggesting racism, the BRDC Board has concluded that Mr Piquet Sr’s use of racially offensive language to describe a fellow BRDC member (and seven-time world champion) is unacceptable and represents conduct that is wholly inappropriate for an Honorary Member of the BRDC, notwithstanding his subsequent apology.
“Accordingly, we have advised Mr Piquet Sr that his membership has been suspended with immediate effect.
“Following the Club’s due process, it is anticipated that the Board will terminate Mr Piquet Sr’s membership at a board meeting to be held after the required seven-day notice period.”
It is understood that Piquet will not be welcomed back into the F1 paddock.
Responding to Piquet’s slur, four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel said: “It is probably what his family and he has been through his entire life.
“Any abuse is wrong so it was great to see the response from the F1 community to express their support on the matter towards Lewis.
“There should not be any room for these kind of comments and we still have a lot to do.
“We have come further than years ago, but it doesn’t help that these things are out there and people are using inappropriate language.
“It is very important to talk about it because it has not gone and it will not be gone overnight. It is a bigger matter, and F1 has to address these issues.
“More than language, is how we behave, and include everyone no matter what colour you are or what type of partner you have, and what sexual orientation you are.

England powered to their first World Cup 2022 win and Wales secured a valuable point as the home nations got their campaigns under way in Qatar.
The Three Lions comfortably overcame Iran 6-2 to head straight to the top of group B before Wales battled back after a disappointing first half to draw 1-1 against the USA.
For England, the high-scoring start boosted hopes among fans of a successful tournament, with Jude Bellingham catching the eye with a dominant display and Bukayo Saka’s double paving the way to victory.
Gareth Bale sparked emotional scenes in the stands among Wales fans as his penalty helped his country get something from their first game at the World Cup since 1958.
Both sets of supporters appeared to largely enjoy their experiences, although problems with Fifa’s official ticketing app caused some England fans to miss part of the game.
There was also fury among the Wales contingent as female supporters wearing rainbow bucket hats had them “confiscated” in Qatar ahead of the group B clash.
Wales’ Rainbow Wall, a group of LGBTQ+ supporters, said male supporters wearing the hats were allowed to keep them but the items were taken from women.
It came just hours after England and Wales, along with other European nations, confirmed they would not be wearing the anti-discrimination One Love rainbow armbands after governing body Fifa threatened sporting sanctions.
The day also saw Iranian supporters jeer and boo their own national anthem amid protests against the regime back home.
An Iranian flag with “women, life, freedom” was raised in the Khalifa International Stadium in support of the anti-government protests, which were sparked by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini after she allegedly did not adhere to the country’s strict Islamic dress code.
Off the pitch, concerns were raised about the stress-testing and readiness of procedures in place for the tournament.
With the 4pm local time kick-off approaching for England, some supporters were frantically refreshing the official ticketing mobile app on their phones in a bid to have their QR code load.
This left them enduring some stressful and frustrating moments, with a group of England fans also seen arguing with officials as they kept being told entry to the queue was closed and repeatedly moved down to another entrance.
Fifa acknowledged some fans were experiencing issues while Free Lions, the Football Supporters’ Association team that provides travel and logistical advice to fans, also offered guidance.
Ali Azarian, 42, an Iranian-Brit based in Singapore, who said he had “divided loyalties” for the game, got into the ground around five minutes before half-time.
He said he arrived three hours before kick-off but the tickets “disappeared” from the Fifa app.
He told the PA news agency: “At the gate they wouldn’t let us in even though we had the email confirmations.
“They sent us over to some ticket liaison office, they then sent us to a Fifa tent where there were about 500 people.
“We queued up for ages, there was a lot of controversy because someone from Fifa came out and told people they could use the email to go back into the queue.
“Those folks left the queue and were told the same thing we were told and they came back so it was just carnage.
“We stuck with it, eventually they started writing manual tickets, they printed tickets and they manually wrote our seats down and then everyone was just sprinting to the ground.
“There were probably at least 100 people behind me.”
Brendan Ilkiw, 26, from the West Midlands and working in Doha, said the organisation for the fixture “wasn’t that bad” although he experienced some issues getting into one of the queues.
He said: “It probably took us 20 minutes, 30 minutes, security held it up, hopefully it’s just teething problems.”
Mr Ilkiw and Gemma Brucher, 34, from Hertfordshire and working in Doha, said their Fifa ticketing app stopped working.
Ms Brucher said: “Right to the last minute my ticket wasn’t ready.”
She said her heart was beating a bit faster, joking: “I thought they weren’t going to let me in but we got there in the end.”
Mr Ilkiw, asked if England can win the tournament, praised Bellingham and said: “I think so. On paper we’re there.”
England fan John Rowe, 52, of Workington, Cumbria, said of the team: “They’re like Santa Claus, they deliver, especially at this time of year.”
Mr Rowe said they arrived early after describing a Sunday trip to the Fifa fan zone at Al Bidda Park in Doha as “f****** crazy”.
Father and son Pelham and Ryan Morgan, aged 60 and 28, from Cardiff, described the atmosphere inside the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium stadium as “fantastic” for Wales versus USA.
“What an experience – seeing Wales score at the World Cup,” Mr Morgan senior told the PA.
“The first half was a bit dodgy but I think it was the nerves, we were all nervous.
“I can’t do this anymore I’m an old man, the stress is too much.”
On the armband reversal, England fan Shaun Rowland, 56, from Hertfordshire, said: “They’ve bottled it, haven’t they?” | <urn:uuid:b50ef2fd-8320-4bc2-81fd-935875c6a7bd> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.heartland.scot/news/national/england-and-wales-up-and-running-at-world-cup-amid-off-pitch-concerns-for-fans/ | 2023-09-26T05:57:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.974977 | 1,209 |
Marriages dissolve for countless reasons. Fractured relationships may mean more amicable breakups, while extreme circumstances can complicate divorce proceedings tremendously. The human instinct to assign blame in any conflict may make an at-fault divorce an appealing option for some distraught spouses. Determining fault is not as simple as it may seem, however.
Not every state allows at-fault dissolutions of marriage; Texas does. Will pursuing this course of action expedite your divorce? Your specific circumstances hold the answer to this question.
What is the difference between a fault and no-fault divorce?
Many marriages end due to “irreconcilable differences.” In other words, the relationship becomes too strained to repair. Both partners typically recognize that neither is directly to blame for the separation. Every state recognizes no-fault divorces.
An at-fault divorce usually stems from a specific cause, such as adultery, imprisonment, abandonment or cruelty. In these cases, one partner orchestrates these actions, putting that one person at fault for the divorce.
The different circumstances in these two types of divorce impact the filing process. Potential complications may arise in an at-fault case.
How can an at-fault divorce speed things up?
No-fault divorces require a 60-day waiting period. This delay allows couples to confirm that divorce is the only option for the relationship. An at-fault divorce waives this waiting period, so the marriage can end as soon as possible.
If the person filing has documented proof of fault and the accused party does not deny the charge, the divorce can finalize quickly. These are ideal circumstances in this type of separation; often, the situation does not meet these criteria.
How can an at-fault divorce slow things down?
When one partner declares the other at fault for the dissolution of marriage, the accused party does have an opportunity to object. In cases of adultery, if he or she can prove the other spouse condoned the behavior, then the courts may deny the request for an at-fault divorce.
Even without the waiting period, proving grounds for divorce can take time. Unless extreme circumstances exist, a no-fault divorce is typically the better route to take.
It is important to note that no-fault divorces do not necessarily have to last an eternity. A mediator can help facilitate divorce proceedings and land on a fair agreement within a short period of time. These collaborative divorces are a good option for partners who want a fast divorce. | <urn:uuid:9ebf2cd9-0e54-4023-8766-3897bd5403f6> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.heinrichlaw.com/blog/2019/03/does-declaring-fault-expedite-the-divorce-process/ | 2023-09-26T06:28:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.91545 | 523 |

Blackpoint Cyber announced a new integration with Cylance. This integration ensures Blackpoint customers using Cylance’s next-generation antivirus solution have immediate access to enhanced Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services.
As Cylance detects early signs of threats including viruses, ransomware, and malicious websites through its Smart Antivirus solution, the notifications are reviewed and triaged by a member of Blackpoint’s MDR team who uses Blackpoint’s patented SNAP-Defense technology to investigate and stop attacks before they can take place.
Free to all existing Blackpoint customers, Cylance and SNAP-Defense will now work in tandem to provide proactive protection along with defensive measures.
Paul Barnes, Vice President of Product at Blackpoint Cyber said, “With the increase in both sophistication and volume of cyberattacks today, it’s important to leverage the best-in-class security tools to improve resilience and reduce risk of attack.”
Currently, Cylance’s Smart Antivirus solution is powered by algorithms, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning to locate advanced threats at first sign. The threats detected by Cylance feed seamlessly into Blackpoint’s proprietary security operations and response platform. At this point, the intelligence gathered is analyzed by a 24/7 SOC team that combines network visualization, insider threat monitoring, traffic analysts, and endpoint security services in a holistic cybersecurity ecosystem to provide customers with true, reliable security.
Barnes continued, “Integrating with Cylance allows both our SOC analysts and customers to combine the intelligence and visibility across both platforms in a frictionless way.”
The Cylance integration further supports Blackpoint’s MDR analysts’ ability to safeguard networks by increasing device visibility and adding AV-based threat detections. The integration also helps identify malicious files and processes on individual endpoints.
Together, the two platforms provide superior threat detection and response to reduce the cyber adversary’s ability to gain a foothold in customer networks. Blackpoint looks forward to further enhancing the capability of their MDR service and the threat detection offered through more similar integrations ahead. | <urn:uuid:0392becb-c2d3-4787-a548-7dcf15f1ce96> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.helpnetsecurity.com/2021/08/21/blackpoint-cyber-cylance/ | 2023-09-26T06:16:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.932411 | 444 |

The Reimbursement Subcommittee, a subcommittee of the Committee on Practice, ensures that ASH addresses federal legislation and regulation affecting reimbursement for practicing clinical hematologists.
The Reimbursement Subcommittee focuses on securing appropriate physician reimbursement for cognitive services, such as increasing payment for evaluation and management (E/M) services, as well as expanding educational efforts for ASH members on coding and reimbursement. The Subcommittee focuses on the annual proposed rules impacting physician reimbursement, the Inpatient Prospective Payment System, the Physician Fee Schedule, the Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System, and the Quality Payment Program. The Subcommittee advises the Committee on Practice on all reimbursement-related issues by formulating positions on pending federal legislation, regulatory, local Medicare coverage, and occasionally, private insurance developments. The Subcommittee also works to identify other specialty professional organizations that would be interested in working with ASH on these issues.
Reimbursement Subcommittee members are expected to participate in scheduled conference calls, attend a meeting during the ASH annual meeting, attend the Annual Hematology and Oncology Carrier Advisory Committee (CAC) Network Meeting, and attend additional meetings as necessary. Subcommittee members review new hematology-specific Current Procedural Technology (CPT) code requests from the American Medical Association (AMA) and requests from the Relative Value Scale Update Committee (RUC) of the AMA.
The Reimbursement Subcommittee structure includes the following liaison positions:
· Chair, Committee on Practice
· Member, Committee on Quality
· ASH Representative and Alternate Representative to AMA RUC
· Advisor and Alternate Advisor to AMA CPT Advisory Committee
· Representative to American College of Physicians (ACP) Subspecialty Advisory Group on Socioeconomic Affairs (SAGSA)
Members of the Reimbursement Subcommittee serve staggered four-year renewable terms (unless otherwise indicated).
The Chair of the Reimbursement Subcommittee serves as a liaison member of the Committee on Practice and is expected to attend the meetings of that committee. | <urn:uuid:f006e950-f2a4-4165-b53f-95e34c872b32> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.hematology.org/about/governance/standing-committees/reimbursement | 2023-09-26T04:58:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.89647 | 618 |
1923 Harley Davidson Board Track Racer
Manufactured in USA.
Engine # 23JD5593
Board track racing was a type of motorsport popular in the United States during the 1910s and 1926s. Competition was conducted on circular or oval race courses with surfaces composed of wooden planks. This type of track was first used for motorcycle competition, wherein they were called motordromes.
The 1923 Harley-Davidson Model Chicago was the Panigale of its day, it was specifically designed as a racing motorcycle by Harley-Davidson and was destined to compete and board track circuits of the era. The suspension and brakes didn’t exist, and mufflers hadn’t been invented yet. | <urn:uuid:d3986077-300c-407c-8b5f-4c517033b4e5> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.heroesmotors.com/products/1923-harley-davidson-big-win-type-chicago | 2023-09-26T06:29:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.980999 | 145 |

The Fraunhofer Heinrich-Hertz-Institut (HHI) is part of the EU project TEF-Health (Testing and Experimentation Facility for Health AI and Robotics), which aims to establish a test infrastructure for artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics in healthcare. The infrastructure will facilitate comprehensive and rapid testing of innovative methods and enable them to reach market maturity. Led by the Berlin Institute of Health (BIH) at Charité Berlin, TEF-Health involves 51 partners from nine European countries. The project started in January 2023 and will run until December 2027 for a total of 5 years. The European Union and the member countries represented in the project are funding the project with 60 million Euros. Fraunhofer HHI will receive 1.2 million Euros of this amount.
Before integrating new technologies into the healthcare system, it is crucial to comprehensively test their safety, robustness, and reliability. In the case of AI and robotics, quality requirements in the European Union are high, but the current testing infrastructure for developing standards, testing innovations, and certifying new products remains insufficient.
The TEF Health consortium aims to improve this process and accelerate the validation and certification of AI and robotics in medical devices. To this end, the research team is developing a test infrastructure (both virtual and physical) that can evaluate various technologies in realistic environments, including hospitals and laboratories. For instance, software for patient care or diagnostics, as well as surgical or nursing robots can be tested by users.
To design this test infrastructure, the project partners are developing new regulatory and ethical requirements such as standardized test protocols and agile certification processes for AI-based technologies or a specific code of conduct for their applications. Additionally, it is essential to develop the necessary technical and regulatory procedures. For this reason, TEF-Health encompasses not only leading hospitals, universities, and clinical research institutions, but also governmental testing organizations such as “TÜV”, the German “Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt” and its French counterpart, the "Laboratoire national de métrologie et d'essais" with whom Fraunhofer HHI works in close collaboration for this project.
Fraunhofer HHI is joining TEF-Health with its research groups "Applied Machine Learning" and "Explainable Artificial Intelligence" within the Artificial Intelligence department. The AI experts will develop methods and tools for the quality assurance of AI technologies. Furthermore, they will work on the conception and development of the virtual test infrastructure and contribute their expertise in the areas of time series analysis, application of explainable AI methods, and standardization.
The Fraunhofer HHI team has already gained experience in the domain of AI standardization on both a national and international level. Since 2021, they have been organizing the annual workshop series "Towards Auditable AI Systems" together with the TÜV Verband and the German Federal Ministry for Information Security (BSI), producing groundbreaking white papers. Internationally, Fraunhofer HHI researchers are working on the development of methods for the standardization and quality assessment of AI systems in healthcare in the ITU/WHO Focus Group "AI for Health" , which is chaired by the institute.
The evaluation resources and infrastructure developed in the project will become available to industry in the form of fee-based services upon completion. Through these comprehensive testing and evaluation tools, the TEF Health team also aims to increase public confidence in innovative AI and robotics technologies. | <urn:uuid:504c43a0-e7b0-49cf-a495-fab83032c72c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.hhi.fraunhofer.de/en/news/nachrichten/2023/fraunhofer-hhi-develops-european-test-infrastructure-for-ai-and-robotics-in-healthcare.html | 2023-09-26T06:21:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.92467 | 728 |
We Don’t Like Samba, a short documentary feature, provides
footage of and context for the bus-fare and anti-FIFA riots in Brazil
over the last fourteen months, along with less well-known but related
struggles. The film, by German collective c.i.s./Berlin, features people
from multiple sectors of Brazilian society: from middle class students
organizing against the bus fare hike in 2013 to favela residents facing
evictions justified by the Cup to sanitation workers who won their
demands in a pre-World Cup wildcat strike to professors, activists and
authors. It also foreshadows potential struggles to come in Brazil,
around the 2016 Summer Olympics and beyond. Finished in June, while
World Cup protests were still ongoing, the film was shared throughout
Brazil during June and July, and had its US premiere at The Base in New York City on August 26.

Artifacts as Pixels, Pixels as Artifacts: Working with Photographs in the Digital Age
What are historians to do? The evolving digital environment poses a challenge for all of us who work with photographs; in part because digitized archives make images more accessible, but also because new technologies have changed just what a photograph is. In some ways, the emergence of digital images echoes the transformation that happened in the 1860s, when the singular media of the daguerreotype, tintype, and ambrotype gave way to glass negatives that could be used to make unlimited numbers of paper prints. That technological shift, like this one, allowed photographs to circulate in new ways, far beyond the control of their makers. Still, as objects of historical inquiry, digital images raise a special set of problems of their own.Historians have never been all that good at using photographs. They tend to think of them as disembodied images rather than as time-bound physical artifacts, material objects that reward study in and of themselves. And they too often turn to them as illustrations rather than as rich primary sources that can yield evidence much as literary documents can. The turn to the digital reinforces these bad habits.
Any analysis of photographs as primary sources needs to consider photographs as they exist in history and through history. To consider a photograph in history, we might ask about patronage, consider the tension between the photographer's needs and the subject's ambitions, seek out the original format of the image and the ways in which it moved into the public realm, and look for evidence of viewers' responses. To consider the photograph through history, we'd ask how its uses and meanings have changed over time, how it moved from one owner to another or into an archive, and how our encounter with the photograph is shaped by our own research agenda. Photographs may be fixed physical objects, but their meanings can change as viewers approach them with fresh questions. A 1990s photograph of lower Manhattan looks different now, in the aftermath of 9/11.
Many historians shy away from using photographs as primary sources because they don't feel confident interpreting visual evidence, or worry they must understand photographic technology. But one doesn't need to understand chemistry to analyze a photograph. It's enough to understand that prevailing photographic technologies determined what could be photographed, what the photograph would look like, how it would be published or exhibited, and how it would circulate. So a Civil War historian needs to understand that the relatively slow exposure times demanded by wet-plate negative technology made it impossible to capture images of action, but let photographers make and distribute large numbers of paper prints, something that would have been impossible just 15 years before. A historian of Gilded Age America needs to know that the invention of the Kodak camera in 1888 simplified picture-making and attracted amateurs to the field. And a historian of the Depression era should understand how the developments in halftone printing allowed picture magazines to emerge as important vehicles for the reproduction of photographic images.
Anyone who, like me, has spent lots of time in photographic archives can appreciate how the digitization of large collections makes life easier. From home, we can search enormous archives, compare images from different sources, zoom in on details, and download study prints. But the quality of these online digital archives varies widely. Well-catalogued archives of historical photographs sometimes become well-catalogued digital collections, with easy to navigate metadata and digital images that fully reproduce the original photograph, front and back.
But not always. Some digital archives are the electronic equivalent of a disorganized drawer of photographs dumped out on the table. These online sites can make it difficult to determine just what sort of physical object is actually in the collection. A negative? A vintage print? Some sites obscure the name of the photographer or the original size of the object, both vital bits of information for someone who wants to think about how the photograph circulated or what sort of impact it had. Most reproduce the image, but not the mount or the back of the photograph, which can contain evidence crucial for the historian. Digitization can flatten the physical differences among photographic prints and conceal or erase information accessible to anyone who consults the original object.
Moreover, it can be very difficult to determine how digital archives have been created. Researchers who go to a physical archive and plow through boxes of photographs can generally know they've seen what there is to see (let's forget what we know about the uncatalogued collections in deep storage). But visitors to a digital archive are usually hard pressed to understand the relationship between what's online and what's in file drawers. Did a curator digitize everything, or only the most fragile pictures? Indeed, did the curator even make those decisions, or was it a summer intern picking whatever fit in a scanner? Digital archives tend to erase all signs of their own creation. They convey the illusion of providing researchers with access to everything. But they rarely do.
In general, the quirky nature of digital archives and the uneven quality of the metadata appended to individual digital image files pushes the casual researcher toward a greater focus on visual information and away from any serious consideration of the photograph as a material object capable of conveying more complex and nuanced sorts of historical information. The enormous benefits of so much visual data come at a price.
What of the "born digital" images, made without negatives, that constitute virtually all the photographs being made today? The first digital cameras shipped out to consumers in 1997; the first cellphone cameras in 2000. Click, just like that, we're drowning in images. In 2000, the year that marked their peak, an estimated 85 billion analog photographs were made around the globe. (The most popular subject? Babies.) By 2011, some 2.5 billion people owned digital cameras, and Facebook included roughly 140 billion photographs. That's more than 10,000 times the number of photographs in the Library of Congress. As one researcher noted, every two minutes we take as many photographs as the whole of humanity took in the nineteenth century.1
Even presuming we can gain access to some meaningful percentage of digital images through online archives or social media sites, how can we, as historians, use them as primary sources for scholarly research? The sheer number of images challenges us. How can we distinguish the typical from the unusual, or locate the data that identifies the image and lets us assess it as a historical document?
The integrity of the images presents another set of problems. Photographers have always edited their scenes through the simple act of framing their pictures. And they've always had the ability to alter their images in the darkroom. Still, in the pre-digital era, the subject of a photograph usually appeared before the camera lens. We can't make that assumption anymore. How many of us have the technical skills to detect whether an image has been digitally altered or even created on a computer? With digital photography, there's no easily accessed equivalent of an original negative that allows us to assess a photographer's or editor's alterations.
And how can we evaluate the motivations of the photographers whose images we encounter online? How do we determine which images were made to promote a particular point of view, which to hurt or deceive? How can we even know who made the photograph? Historians sometimes have to use anonymous sources-an unsigned letter, an unattributed newspaper story, a fragment of a larger document. But what kind of historical source is a pixelated image whose creator we can't identify, whose integrity we can't confirm, and whose purpose we can't discern? That makes for a very complicated source, indeed. We might still be able to track these born-digital images through history, watching as they appear in one site and then another, but in many cases we'd be hard-pressed to understand them as objects in history, bound up in the time in which they were produced. They're defined by motion; their ever-shifting form pushes us to rethink what an historical artifact even is.
I appreciate the considerable advantages of the digital turn for both photographic archives and the creation of new photographs. But the emphasis on visual information comes at the expense of all the smaller details that made analog photographs such rich sources of historical knowledge. Historians have not always been smart about how they've used images as historical sources. But in older forms of photography they've found the corroborating details, fresh perspectives, and sparks of human empathy that let them write about the past in a more understanding way. Whether digitized images or born-digital photographs can ever provide equally compelling and verifiable evidence about people, places and events distant in times and space, is, I think, very much up in the air.

SmartScoot™ travel mobility scooter is a compact scooter that performs like a full-size powerchair. SmartScoot™ is designed by travelers for travelers. Easy to use, fold, and take on trips, its market-leading top speed (7 mph), short charging time (~1 hour), and range (up to 12 miles) set it apart from competing folding scooters. At its price, SmartScoot™ is a great value for a compact scooter or powerchair. SmartScoot™ mobility products deliver strength and stability in a lightweight scooter that can fold in seconds.
SmartScoot™ prides itself on being a travel mobility scooter designed especially for flights and cruises. SmartScoot™ makes independent travel possible again with full-size folding scooters. Its lightweight and sturdy frame means that you can easily bring your SmartScoot™ across the world without any hassle, and its scooter battery prioritizes long-lasting power. Small luggage can easily be stored on the SmartScoot™ using the attached luggage rack, providing cargo space on the front of the scooter or under the seat and making sure your journey can be completely hands-free.
This mobility scooter ensures that your air travel experience is comfortable and easy. The SmartScoot™ meets all FAA regulations for air travel with mobility scooters and lithium-ion batteries. Further, this travel mobility scooter complies with most major airlines’ mobile scooter guidelines, including Delta, British Airways, Southwest, American Airlines, and United Airlines. Download a battery compliance certificate to show to airline officials for your smoothest travel experience. Even more convenient is that SmartScoot™ makes getting through the airport a breeze. Your travel mobility scooter can be taken through security all the way to the end of the jetway. From there, gate-check your lightweight scooter at the end of the jetway, right outside the plane’s door. Fold the steering column and take the lithium-ion battery and any accessories with you as you board the plane. When you step off the plane at your destination your compact folding scooter will be waiting for you.
Your SmartScoot™ can also help you navigate your cruise experience, both on the ship and at the port. This travel mobility scooter makes it a cinch to board the ship, get around the ship, and go on excursions because of a tight turning radius, adjustable top speed, and full weight capacity in a compact scooter design. Its compact and lightweight design makes it easy to maneuver through hallways and into the cabin. On some major cruise lines, including Carnival Cruise Lines, stateroom doors can be as narrow as 22 inches, which makes width, or lack thereof, a key feature to consider when purchasing your travel mobility scooter. SmartScoot™ grants customers flexibility in width– this travel mobility scooter gives customers the ability to shorten the distance between the rear wheels enough to fit into even narrow stateroom doors. What’s more, this travel mobility scooter is foldable, which means you can walk your SmartScoot™ off the gangplank during port excursions. That means you can keep your SmartScoot™ with you throughout your cruise experience.
The SmartScoot™ was designed by travelers for travelers. Mobility difficulties don’t have to end your enjoyment of travel, and your mobility aids don’t have to be a hassle. SmartScoot™ created its travel mobility scooter with flights and cruises in mind by developing a lightweight, sturdy frame with an attached luggage rack. To learn more, check out this customer’s travel blog, which documents his adventures across the world on his SmartScoot™.

How do I know if the SmartScoot™ is the right travel mobility scooter for me?
A travel mobility scooter is an excellent tool for getting around, especially for people who have difficulty walking extended distances. However, driving a mobility scooter requires a combination of healthy traits and abilities: good vision, strength, coordination, balance, and concentration.
A mobility scooter is not a toy. It is an electrically powered motor vehicle, and failure to follow safe operating procedures and safety warnings at all times could result in serious personal injury or death. Our website and supportive materials outline the safety issues and potential hazards of driving the SmartScoot ™. To safely operate the SmartScoot™, you must be able to:
- Read and understand all SmartScoot™ reference materials, including the SmartScoot™ Users Instruction Manual and its Safety Instructions
- Stand and walk independently or with limited assistance
- Have sufficient hand strength to operate the throttle and brake
- Maintain and shift the balance to accommodate inclines, declines, and turns as described in the SmartScoot™ Users Instruction Manual and Safety Instructions
- Steer and control the mobility scooter
- See pedestrians and vehicles
- Judge speeds, distances, and slopes
- Recognize hazards and obstacles in your path
- Be patient enough to slow down, stop and wait whenever necessary
- Mount or dismount the mobility scooter without assistance or risk of falling
- Easily get the mobility scooter in and out of its storage place
Can I carry passengers on my SmartScoot™ travel mobility scooter?
No, the SmartScoot™ is designed for just the driver.
Can I return the SmartScoot™ if I am not satisfied with it?
- Returns must be made within 14 days of delivery in “as new” condition.
- A Return Authorization must be made by written request to firstname.lastname@example.org
- The scooter must be returned in its original box in “as new” condition accompanied by the original receipt.

Can I ride my SmartScoot™ outside?
Yes, the SmartScoot™ is designed to ride inside and outside on paved surfaces in accordance with the SmartScoot™ Users Instruction Manual and its Safety Instructions.
Can I take my SmartScoot™ travel mobility scooter on an airplane?
Any battery that contains less than 25 grams of equivalent lithium content (ELC) and is under 300 watts is currently allowed for airline travel. The SmartScoot™ battery has an ELC of 24 grams and is 288 watts. It is advisable to check with your airline before you travel. Here’s more information from popular airlines:
Additional information is on the Travel Page.
Do I need a license for my SmartScoot™?
No license is required to operate a scooter in the United States. Always check and obey all local laws regarding electric mobility scooters.
How does the SmartScoot™ perform on grass, snow, or mud?
Do not use the SmartScoot™ in such conditions.
How does the SmartScoot™ perform on inclines?
SmartScoot™ will handle all handicap ramps and inclines of 6˚ or less. It is recommended that the rider leans forward when riding up inclines.
How far can I go on one full charge of the battery?
On average you can travel approximately 12 miles on a single charge, however, this will vary based on the type of terrain you’re on, your weight, the temperature, and other conditions. It is recommended that you recharge your battery once the battery indicator reaches 2 bars and no sooner, to preserve its longevity.
How long does it take to charge my battery?
It takes approximately 1-2 hours for a complete charge. The initial charge may take longer (up to 5 hours).
How long will my battery last?
The battery will last up to 500 recharges. It will need to be charged when the battery level falls to or below 50% as indicated on the control panel (1-2 solid red dots). Depending on usage this might occur as much as once a week (or more) however keep in mind that unnecessary recharging will reduce the life of the battery.
Is the SmartScoot™ covered by insurance?
At this time, most major health insurance companies’ coverage does not extend to the purchase of the SmartScoot™. In general, if you cannot walk at all, insurance companies will pay for an electric wheelchair but not for a mobility scooter.
Is there any maintenance required with the SmartScoot™ travel mobility scooter?
The only user maintenance is to charge the battery and keep the machine clean with a damp, soft cloth. In addition, the steering locking system and front wheel assembly may loosen with use. Check frequently and tighten.
What are the dimensions and weight of the SmartScoot™?

Does the SmartScoot™ have a height restriction?

Hello, this is David Reel, assistant principal at Hubbard High School. I want to welcome the students back for the 2020 school year, and provide additional information to family members regarding the beginning of the school year.
1st, we will be holding a textbook and planner pick-up for all remote only students on Thursday Aug 27, and Friday Aug 28, from 9-1 at the front of the high school
Teachers will have a virtual open house video available on their website by Friday, August 28th at 2 pm. Also located on teacher websites will be the class codes to join their Google Classroom. All students are required to join the Google classroom, whether remote or face-to-face. There will also be a virtual open house with videos regarding school procedures for this school year available on the district high school webpage by 2 pm this Friday.
Next, just a reminder the school year will officially start on Monday Aug 31st. Students in Cohort A will be coming to the building. For full remote and Cohort B students, they should be checking their teachers’ websites, watching their open house videos, and start adding their classes in Google Classroom. All students in Cohort B will arrive to school on Tuesday, Sept. 1.
We ask before coming to school, parents conduct a health check with their child for any covid symptoms. These health check protocols can be found on page 6 and 7 in the Hubbard Reopening Plan. Parents driving their students are to drop off only in the front parking lot by the arches.The doors will open starting at 7:15, at which point students will enter with their mask on, take a temperature check, and proceed to the gymnasium. At 7:25, those students that are in the gymnasium will be dismissed to go directly to their first period class. Students that are driving to school will be able to enter at 7:25 with their masks on, have their temperature taken, and will go directly to their 1st period class. Reminder, students will carry their bookbags throughout the school day at this time, and will be permitted to carry a water bottle.
We appreciate and thank you in advance all the support from the students, parents, and the Hubbard Community during the school year. | <urn:uuid:3dda2e0c-1129-47c2-9ba8-89b048a21180> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.hubbard.k12.oh.us/post/high-school-welcome-back | 2023-09-26T05:56:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.96547 | 465 |

Welcome to the weekly HypeHorizen Meta Report. Starting today, following Meta Reports will be in the format “Top 5 Decks For This Week” for better readability and a cleaner look. Let’s start!
1. XL Beast Hunter
With Hunter being the best deck in the meta so far, I’m presenting Thijs’ XL Beast Hunter. Peaked at Rank 8, this deck is fairly easy to play. You want to look for cheap minions like Irondeep Trogg or Batty Guest in your Mulligan, alongside Harpoon Gun and Azsharan Saber or Pet Collector.
Goal of the deck is to summon an expensive beast from your deck in the early turns, or just spam your opponent with board-sticking minions.
Okani and Samuro will help you keeping the board under your control, while Wing Commander Ichman will bring insane value for the mana cost in the late game. A 5/4, two Mountain Bears and a King Krush are not funny for your enemy and hard to remove, too!
2. Imp Curse Warlock
Imp Curse Warlock is a deck I have showcased and guided through last time, this time this deck has a slight difference. Now this deck includes Shady Bartender and Voidwalkers, to protect and deal huge burst damage with your imps early on. Against slower classes like Priest or Druid the Abyssal Curses will perfectly do the job. Just multiply them with Brann, Tamsin and Lady Darkvein!
For the Mulligan, make sure to keep Vile Library, Flustered Librarian, Wicked Shipment, Flame Imp and Fiendish Circle.
3. XL Thief Priest
For the first time ever, with the help of Identity Theft, Thief Priest is now a viable archetype. Created by glory and peaked by Bunnyhoppor, this might be one of the funniest decks to play right now. Goal of the deck is to win your opponent with. their own cards, while keeping the board under your control or empty at all. Reduce copied cards with Mysterious Visitor, and then steal the original copy with Harvester of Envy. (Disclaimer: Vistor does NOT reduce cards stolen by Theotar, and Harvester of Envy steals any card, whereever it is. Equipped Weapons, played Locations, Secrets and even Quests!).
Keep Cathedral, Burgle Cards and sometimes Shadow Word: Ruin, if playing against Miracle/Naga Priest.
4. Aggro Druid
Aggro Druid is one of the fastest decks nowadays and can win you tons of games within minutes! The deck is quite easy to pilot and is a very good deck for new, but also advanced players to achieve great results! Keep Beaming Sidekick, Peasant, Herald of Nature and Nature Spells. Sometimes Squirrel.
5. Ramp Druid
Usually I wouldn’t put the same class twice, but Druid is the third best class in the game and has (still) a high winrate. This deck just requires you to ramp once-twice and you already have an incredible advantage! Oracle of Elune and Naga Giant usually end the game for most of your opponents.
Mulligan: Druid of the Reefs, Jerry Rig Carpenter, Wild Growth, Seedsman.
Hope you enjoyed, see you next week! | <urn:uuid:1384679b-4335-4ced-b192-b99cc9c67fd3> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.hypehorizen.com/top-5-decks-for-this-week-sep-16th/ | 2023-09-26T05:28:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.919384 | 690 |

Describe A Time When You Were Stuck In A Traffic Jam
I live in a small town and in general, there is not much traffic on the roads. The only time we face traffic jams is when there is a religious procession or a political rally. And most of the times, these are announced beforehand so I rarely get stuck in traffic jams.
However, last month I had gone to Ludhiana to buy some clothes for my cousin’s wedding. When we went, there was no traffic. On the way back, the main road was shut down as there had been a collision between two buses between Amritsar and Ludhiana. Big cranes had to be called to remove the buses from the roads and that took time. This being a main road slowly led to a huge jam. The traffic police tried to get the traffic diverted through the service road. But the road was considerably narrower than the main road and because of that the traffic built up.
We were stuck in the jam for at least 2 to 3 hours. At first, we didn’t think we would have to wait for so long. We thought it was just busier than normal and things would clear up soon. However, when our car barely moved 100 meters in 15 minutes, my dad went out and inquired about what had happened. We couldn’t really back up as there was no space. So, we tried to use the time by playing games and listening to music.
To be honest, we also spent a big part whining about government failure, although we all knew such circumstances are unavoidable. I don’t think I could describe what we felt at that time. We all just wanted the traffic jam to clear up and reach home as soon as possible. But the day ended on a happy note as far I as was concerned. Because we reached home late, my mother didn’t get time to cook. And we got Pizzas to eat for dinner.

Describe A Time When You Were Stuck In A Traffic Jam IELTS Cue Card
Well, traffic jam is quite a common scene, especially in big cities where people waste a lot of time in these jams.
I am going to talk about one such experience that I lately had where I was stuck in a jam for a long time.
Actually, my friend and I planned a weekend. We decided to go to Ludhiana on the weekend and have a lot of fun. We planned to go shopping, watch a movie in the cinema and later have a meal in a restaurant and come back home.
I was pretty excited about the same, and we were planned to travel by bus. The next morning, when I reached the bus stop, I received a phone call from my friend who cancelled the program for some reason, but I decided to travel alone. I vividly remember it was a pretty hot day, and I boarded a non air condition bus. It was fully packed, and Somehow, I managed to get a seat, but the journey was quite uncomfortable. It had been hardly 30 minutes, and the bus suddenly stopped.
There was a huge jam, and there was a long cue of vehicles ahead. The bus driver stopped the engine and went out to inquire. It was really difficult to spend the time waiting in this bus. So I decided to play a game on my phone or listen to music. I hardly spend 15-20 minutes and my mobile battery got flat. In the meantime, we got to know that the jam is because of a road accident and it may take a long time before the police let the vehicles to move.
It was the height of my patience because I couldn’t wait anymore and I was too much irritated because of the constant honking and toxic fumes of other vehicles, and that’s a reason why I decided to get off the bus and board a bus going the other direction.
Finally, after wasting around four hours, I was back home, and I was really frustrated because a traffic jam completely ruined my weekend.

IELTS Cue Card – Describe A Time When You Were Stuck In A Traffic Jam
Here I am going to talk about a situation when I got stuck in a traffic jam.
Getting stuck in traffic is a common phenomenon and it happens every now and then. People get stuck every day but when one gets stuck in an emergency kind of situation then it really affects. I got stuck recently when I needed to reach for an exam and I was late by 20 minutes near the crossing where there was a huge traffic jam.
I was already on time from my home but due to election and vip movements in the city there were too many diversion so this created lot of traffic on my route and I was stuck for nearly an hour.
I did nothing but wait and tried to call my friends and get information about alternate routes and one of my friends helped guide me with an alternative way to the exam centre. For I will I got irritated and then I started to listen music and I tried to keep my mind stress free so I can sit fresh in the exam and give my best.
It was a very irritating experience. Everybody was just honking and making unnecessary noise and some vehicles were emitting bad smoke which made breathing different for 10 minutes. Thankfully a police officer came and managed the traffic and everyone felt a sense of relief.

IELTS Cue Card on Traffic Jam
Well, traffic jam in our city is not unusual and the regular commuters often suffer from horrible congestion on roads. A recent study shows that around 20 hours of time is wasted for an average commuter each month in our city and that statistics depicts how heinous the traffic jam in our city is. While thinking about a time when I had to wait in a traffic jam, I could remember many such events and for this cue card topic, I will talk about a particular event when the traffic jam was so pathetic that I literally went mad!
It was about a year ago when I went to our national airport to see off a relative who would leave for the United Kingdom. On our way to the airport, the traffic was usual and we reached there in a taxi that took around 45 minutes. After I saw of this relative, I went to the nearby bus station to pick a public bus to return home. I got a bus within 15 minutes and in the next 10 minutes, the road traffic was good. All of a sudden the bus stopped at a traffic signal and it did not move for the next 20 minutes. People on the bus got anxious and they started talking about what happened. I got off from the bus to investigate what actually happened. I tried to talk to traffic police but he was so busy that I could not even grab his attention. I got back to the bus and I heard more bad news. Some passengers were talking about an accident and how that had created the deadlock on the route.
I bought a newspaper and waited next 30 minutes very patiently and was expecting that things would get back to its normal condition soon. However, it did not and I heard that many students have blocked the road as one of their classmates died because of the accident. Police and those students had a hot debate and they were adamant to leave the road until the bus driver who caused the accident was arrested and punished. It was a situation that would not be resolved soon and that’s why many bus passengers left the bus to get back to their home. I had to reach home and I heard that the alternative road was also blocked. I was quite furious at that time but had nothing to do. My cell phone battery was beeping to indicate that it will be turned off anytime and the distance was more than 2 miles to reach home. I decided to walk and then again waited for a few more minutes. Thus two hours passed and at that time I left the bus to walk.
Describe A Time When You Were Stuck In A Traffic Jam IELTS Speaking
It is common for everyone to get stuck in Traffic jams as it is the daily reality of busy city life. It can be very stressful and frustrating when on the road.
Some of us have had the worst traffic experiences. Here, I’d like to talk about a time when I got stuck in a Traffic jam. Last week, I got a chance to lead the presentation in a very high-profile meeting in my office. The meeting was scheduled to be held at 10 am sharp. Therefore, I had to rush to the office to avoid confusion. It was around 8 am when I was driving, and to my surprise, I found almost all the city dwellers on their vehicles rushing to their respective jobs. Since the other side of the road was under construction, all the vehicles had to move from the single lane, which caused horrible congestion. Little did I know that there would be a traffic jam ahead, and I had to wait for more than half an hour. It was highly irritating, and I was in a jittery mood, thinking if I could make it to the meeting. A little later, I saw a heavy wood-log carrying truck that had dropped a few logs on the road, leading to the traffic jam.
Eventually, the traffic police resolved the problem by moving the logs aside and clearing the mess. Annoyingly, I started my car, and somehow I managed to reach the office at 9.30 am and started preparing. I feel that the drivers should be more careful and the traffic police should prevent the plying of heavy trucks during the peak hours.
Describe A Time When You Were Stuck In A Traffic Jam Follow-Up Questions
1. Are traffic jams common in Indian cities?
Yes definitely it is a common scene in Indian metro cities and at peak hours in any city of India one would find too many vehicles on the road. And Vip movements, festivals,and other community related events also create traffic jams. Increasing numbers of private vehicles are the major reason for stress on roads.
2. Why are cities today facing serious traffic issues?
A large number of people commute to work, education and other purposes and they use private vehicles. From the countryside people come in search of jobs and education which also is the reason for increasing traffic. People in the corporate sector value time so in order to save time people own private vehicles in the city which is the major reason behind traffic in the city.
3. What can be done to improve traffic conditions in cities?
Proper Traffic management can be done in order to improve the traffic situation and people should be encouraged to use more public transport in order to reduce vehicles on the road. This will save the environment and help the city become healthy economically and pollution free. Furthermore, people who break traffic rules should be banned or fined heavily so they don’t cause any nuisance on the road.
4. Can developing public transport help resolve traffic issues in cities?
Absolutely yes. It is the one and only solution in the current time the government can take steps to make the public aware of public transport which is safe and secure. And helps the city to earn revenue. Avoids traffic jams and also reduces accidents on roads so developing fast and reliable public transport can be very helpful to a growing city and resolve traffic issues. | <urn:uuid:664a480e-b29d-41c8-a662-7b424581097b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.ieltsxpress.com/describe-a-time-when-you-were-stuck-in-a-traffic-jam/ | 2023-09-26T05:03:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.986254 | 2,441 |

Firstly thank you for all your support in the #standingUP4NCHDs campaign. The result of the ballot for industrial action, with over 97% of NCHDs in favour of action up to and including strike action, has given us a strong mandate to seek resolution to all the issues raised in the campaign. In particular issues around current contract breaches and the need to develop a new NCHD Contract that aligns with the needs of NCHDs and the delivery of safe care.
We have now advised both the HSE and the Department of Health of the ballot result and sought urgent engagement on the issues. We have been clear that direct negotiations with the IMO, as the Trade Union representing NCHDs, is required in order to avoid industrial action. We hope the Government and HSE will respond positively but if they are not prepared to engage on all the issues we will be left with no option but to serve strike notice. Copies of the correspondence can be viewed here and here.
We appreciate the support of all our NCHD members and welcome those members who have joined in recent months. We encourage all NCHDs to now show solidarity with colleagues and join the IMO so that you can be represented in negotiations and you can be protected in the event of industrial action. If you have not already joined please click the link here to join.
We have heard the voices of NCHDs and it is important that we continue to highlight the dangerous, unsafe and toxic working conditions faced by you and your colleagues. Please continue to follow, like and share IMO posts on Twitter and Instagram and share your own stories.
Follow us on Twitter
We will be in touch as soon as we have a response from HSE and Government. | <urn:uuid:f71c107b-fae4-4335-a437-d8b43e1bb1c8> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.imo.ie/standing-up-for-nchds/nchd-ballot-next-steps/ | 2023-09-26T06:14:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.963787 | 355 |
Leadership Development at Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Impact worked with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to design a multi-modular learning programme in support of their organisational reform and culture change initiative. Investing in human resources had been at the heart of that change, with the development of a leadership programme a top priority to build capacity.
Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) recruited Impact to develop a leadership programme that would enable managers to embrace and drive change by:
- Creating a high level of self- and people-awareness
- Performing “acts of leadership” aimed at achieving results
- Establishing a working culture that enables high performance
- Developing confidence and resilience as a leader within a change environment.
Impact supported FAO’s management and leadership programme team to design the Effective Leadership Programme, an intensive learning course delivered in two main modules of 3.5 and 2.5 days. Between the modules, each participant received two 1-1 coaching sessions. Topics addressed in the programme included:
- Leading self, team, change: Through an interactive workshop “acts of leadership” are introduced, as well as leadership models that relate to the self, the team and how to manage and enact change within the organisation.
- Personal leadership challenge: After completing a 360 questionnaire based on Emotional Intelligence, the results are shared in two 1-1 coaching sessions where real-life experiences are discussed in order to find new leadership and management styles.
- High-performing working environment: In the closing workshop, participants are introduced to a performance-based team management approach and presented with techniques in coaching and dialogue to build high-performing teams and increase motivation.
“Our aim is to support managers at FAO by offering them access to the most up-to-date thinking in leadership. The Effective Leadership Programme has been designed with this in mind.”
Alison Holmes, Manager & Leadership Programme Manager
“There is now recognition that ‘you can learn’ to lead because leadership is about what you do. It is not about being born a special kind of person. Leadership is a kind of action, and since it happens between people, it is about communication. We all need to get connected, develop an awareness of what is happening around us and how we can affect it.”

Index on Censorship is seriously concerned about the latest developments in the Julian Assange case. It is deeply disappointing that Home Secretary Priti Patel has approved the extradition of the Wikileaks founder to the United States, where he will face charges under the Espionage Act.
Like Amnesty International, we believe extradition will put Assange at risk and have a chilling effect on journalism around the world. We do not believe he will face a fair trial in the United States given the hostile publicity around the case. His poor mental health puts him in danger of suicide.
Wikileaks published a series of leaked diplomatic cables in 2010 and 2011, which caused serious embarrassment to the United States government. These included the US army manual on the treatment of prisoners in Guantanamo Bay and a video showing a helicopter attack on innocent civilians in Iraq. Julian Assange acted as a journalist and publisher in bringing these disclosures to public attention. He did so in collaboration with a number of mainstream, respected media organisations including the Guardian and the New York Times.
We call on the international journalistic community to support Assange in the next stage of his battle against extradition as he takes his case to appeal. If the US government succeeds in bringing espionage charges against Julian Assange it will have the potential effect of turning all journalists reporting on alleged US security abuses into spies. | <urn:uuid:6968916e-ca70-4f18-b5df-cd4cc6f37f12> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.indexoncensorship.org/2022/06/index-expresses-concern-over-julian-assange-extradition/ | 2023-09-26T05:51:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.95046 | 260 |
Scotland holiday in November
Yes you did read that right, I chose to go to Scotland in November for a holiday. With how the marathon timings worked out and my shift pattern it meant that early November turned out to be the only time I could go. I will say that it wasn't freezing though (temperatures were between 7-13C) so it turned out well. If you're thinking of a staycation in the colder months this is one I would recommend.
The cottage had a log burner, access to a hot tub and pool, and was in the middle of nowhere! It was perfect.
The flat in Edinburgh was a short walk into the centre of the city, had free parking right outside, and suited our needs perfectly for a two-night stay.
We chose to go through AirBnB because it's usually cheaper (getting a Premier Inn for Edinburgh was quoting us around £200) and it means you can do what you want. Through the week we were coming back with wet clothes that we could just hang in front of the fire, something you can't really do in a B&B/hotel. Also, through the week we did a mix of cooking our own meals and going out, another flexibility you get with AirBnB.
There was a worry that we wouldn't be able to do much in November due to it being outside of the peak season so thought staycation businesses might shut down for the winter, but we had no issues with that at all.
We hiked a lot, hired bikes one day, kayaked, and then did Go Ape too which was a first for me and I loved it.
We soon got into a routine of heading out around 10am to do that day's main activity, then getting in around 3pm for an afternoon hot tub/swim and then read and chilled infront of the fire before dinner plans. Even though the hours of light were shorter due to the time of year, we found that routine was enough to keep us busy and entertained, but also meant we relaxed too.
The nearby town (Aberfoyle) was very cute. It was the sort of place everyone knows everyone. Nothing fancy, but lovely nonetheless. We returned a few times to a little cafe that had about 12 freshly baked cakes everyday, and that was where I had my first experience of a square sausage too (verdict - it basically tasted like a beef burger). There was also a little shop selling lots of handmade goods (jams and chutneys were being made right there in the shop) and then we went to the local pub a couple of times too.
In Edinburgh we went to the zoo, went on a night out, and ate great food.
Here are my food/drink recommendations for Edinburgh (I didn't go to all these places, but this is what my friend who lives there raved about):
Woodland Creatures (gastropub)
Down The Hatch (burgers)
BABA (mezze - we went there on the Saturday night and it was INCREDIBLE)
Panda and Sons (cocktails)
The Devil's Advocate (pub)
Chaophraya (Thai, with rooftop views)
Bagel Bross (bagel bar)
Urban Angel (brunch - we went there too and the food was lush, even if I was a bit hungover at the time...)
The Three Sisters (dancy outdoor pub)
You need a car for this sort of holiday. Of course you can do Edinburgh without one, but for the more rural side of things a car is essential. Our cottage was a mile down a very rough track that the car did not get on with.
That being said, I'm so glad we did it this way because it allowed us to do exactly what we wanted and have our own routine. To be honest even if we'd tried there weren't really many buses or anything so if you're wanting to do the countryside break then you've got to have a car - end of.
In Edinbrugh was just Ubered everywhere once we were there which has got much more expensive since I was a student in Leicester, but served its purpose.
I love Scotland! The coutryside was beautiful (I was already prepared for that) but Edinburgh really surprised me with how gorgeous it was. The architecture of it really made me want to move there. With the castle on the hill looking over the city and the tall town houses, I was constantly looking around like a kid in a top shop. It had vibes of Newcastle, London, and a bit of Bath too. I'd only ever been to Scotland for T in the Park, so to go and properly see the quiet and busy side of it was lovely. I'd highly recommend and I will be back. | <urn:uuid:96a1640b-0234-4274-9177-024473e21ea1> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.indialilyblogs.com/post/scotland-holiday-in-november | 2023-09-26T06:24:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.988493 | 1,021 |

We have a very small reservation, which only two members are able to live on. Because of that, our tribal members are spread out all through the community. This crisis has impacted us similarly to how it has impacted everyone in the U.S. Nobody in the tribe has gotten COVID-19, so we’ve been fortunate about that, at least for now. We have had a couple of employees get it from outside work, but with the guidelines we have in place, it hasn’t spread in our place of business.
Initially, we closed down our casino for two and a half months, and after we reopened, we moved forward with tough restrictions. Prior to COVID-19, our legal occupancy was just under 800, and since we’ve reopened, we are only allowing 425 people in the casino at a time. To make sure there is more than enough space, only three people are allowed per table, and then we have every other machine keyed off unless there is plexiglass in between them. Social distancing is such a big part of it – everyone has to wear a mask and we have absolutely no smoking inside. When guests walk in, they are screened with face scanners to check their temperatures. We also have sanitizing stations and many other cleaning protocols in place.
The public reaction has been great. They feel we are going above and beyond to make this as safe a place as possible. As far as business, it’s been absolutely crazy for us.
We did not expect this at all – our numbers have been great. We are one of the fortunate ones, because I know other casino properties are either doing really well or not well at all. We feel very fortunate.
Our tribe has a health clinic, so if anyone is feeling ill, they get tested. We’ve been working with the federal government for resources and are now able to get testing right away, with results back quickly. Our clinic is in town two miles from the casino and has benefited the greater community as well. We listen to what our community wants. They wanted to be able to game again, but in the safest possible environment. Our members also wanted to be able to get out there and also let our employees get back to work. We have 280 employees in addition to our own people and their families. We implemented full blown restrictions and said, ‘we’re going to have fun, but we’re going to do everything that we possibly can with safety, and here are the rules.’ Now, we’re trying to get back to somewhat of a normal life. | <urn:uuid:a0759ee6-83ed-40d7-a753-8e16c2ca2037> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.indiangaming.com/lloyd-mathiesen-tribal-chairman-chicken-ranch-rancheria-of-me-wuk-indians-of-california/ | 2023-09-26T05:11:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.986404 | 538 |

McDermott to create 'fittest bowling squad'
Brisbane: Former Australian fast bowler Craig McDermott has turned the fortunes of national squad around in a little over a year.
Toiling at the Centre of Excellence in Brisbane and as the national team's bowling coach, McDermott has ensured that in the 11 Tests that he has been present, Australia has bowled out its opponent for 201 or less 14 times and conceded 300-plus just four times.
In its last seven Tests alone, Australian bowlers have taken 140 wickets, the Sydney Morning Herald reports.
McDermott says that his primary aim is to create the world's fittest bowling squad.
"Fit bowlers can bowl longer spells and, mentally and physically, they're able to hold their actions better," he said.
"Therefore, they're more consistent in where they put the ball," he adds.
Now, Australia has plentiful and fit reserves. As he speaks, McDermott runs his eye down a long list. One name, a long way down for now, is his son, Alister, who is making headway for Queensland.
McDermott has been successful in remodeling the Australian pace attack.
Moving away from the golden standard of Glenn McGrath, McDermott says McGrath's advantage was his height of six feet five inches and his impeccable control over line and length. Add to that was the bounce he got off the wicket.
He admits that not everybody has those attributes, and believes that only Mitchell Starc comes anywhere close to McGrath.
McDermott has preached what he practiced in the 71 Tests he played for Australia. Essentially, it was to pitch one-and-half metres fuller and allow the ball to swing. Back of a length, he said, two things were liable to happen - firstly, the ball had less time to swing. Secondly, if it seamed, by the time it reached the batsman it had deviated too far to catch an edge.
"This stuff hasn't changed since W. G. Grace. If you're bowling a fuller length, and you're moving the ball, the batsman's got less time to make a decision about how much it has moved and you've got a better chance of getting a nick," he believes.
McDermott has altered Peter Siddle's action, but did not reveal how - and shifted his line. He also impressed on Pattinson the need to bowl fuller.
But the greatest transformation he wrought was on Hilfenhaus. "He was down on pace last year," McDermott said. "He was bowling around his body a lot, rather than getting up and over his front leg. We did some work adjusting the place of his front foot."
The outcome was there for all to see. Hilfenhaus' outswinger to dismiss Sehwag, the first wicket of the rout in Perth, should be donated to science. It was one of 27 for him in the series. Now, he has a one-day five-for as well.
McDermott believes out of favour Mitchell Johnson still has a part to play in the national squad.
"He's another 145km/h man. He's going to be swinging the ball for WA (Western Australia) soon and - who knows - maybe Australia again," said McDermott.
He believes that captain Michael Clarke's faith in the bowlers is also very important for the mental make-up of the squad.
"If you don't have a captain who supports the blokes pitching the ball up - and being driven on the odd occasion - you can't set a field to take the catches," he said. McDermott thrives on coaching, but is glad not to be a selector. | <urn:uuid:299ebca5-6c36-4807-8456-bb2408d13fa4> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.indiatimes.com/cricket/mcdermott-to-create-fittest-bowling-squad-13453.html | 2023-09-26T06:00:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.985572 | 774 |

Media are constantly extolling the virtues of the nimble start-up culture that “just gets stuff done,” while flagellating the traditional large organization for their slow, ambling response to existential threats. Today’s global CIO is in the unenviable position of having to explain why it is going to take longer and cost more to recreate the experiences that innovative start-ups are able to rapidly churn out.
The modern CIO is confronted with a Faustian bargain. One can recreate the elegant, integrated experience offered by a start-up, but it will require significant time and resources. By the time these ideas get to market, the opportunity may be lost.
Alternatively, the IT chief can carve out innovation teams that rapidly create new concepts that don’t integrate with an organization’s existing systems and processes. Unfortunately, this just propagates the application sprawl that inhibits agility in the first place. Therefore, more and more global CIOs are turning to application portfolio rationalization efforts to simplify their complex IT landscape and power-up enterprise agility.
Key objectives of application portfolio rationalization:
- Reduce cost – Simplifying the IT landscape by reducing the number of business applications is an effective way to create sustained cost savings. When an application is retired, so are the development, support, infrastructure and licensing costs associated with it.
- Retire technical debt – When enterprises fail to keep up with technical upgrades of their hardware and software they often carry significant technical debt (legacy programming languages, out-of-support software versions, legacy architecture patterns, legacy hardware, etc.). Understanding where this exists and the risks associated with it becomes a priority once hardware and software vendors stop supporting it.
- Eliminate functional redundancy – Organizations that have grown through M&A, or via a decentralized approach to IT governance, can end up with a highly fragmented and redundant application landscape. Increasingly, large enterprises require globally harmonized systems.
- Improve situational awareness – The prevalence of shadow IT, 3rd party cloud solutions, vendor-hosted solutions, public cloud infrastructure, operations technologies run by the business and decentralized governance can make it difficult for IT leaders to understand what they have in their networks. Thus, troubleshooting becomes extremely complicated.
- Reduce risk – Calibrate the level of investment in risk mitigation strategies (high availability, business continuity planning, disaster recovery, architecture and security reviews, etc.) based on the criticality of a given application to the business. An understanding of the likelihood and impact of any given risk, as well as existing mitigation strategies, is critical in identifying potential gaps.
When is a rationalization approach right?
Application portfolio rationalization is a great technique, but it isn’t the solution to every problem. Enterprises that will benefit the most from a rationalization initiative often have the following characteristics in common:
- Application count – The ideal candidate for a rationalization exercise would have over 500 business applications, but it can be effective with as few as 200. Application counts that get into the thousands can naturally offer significantly more benefits.
- Technical debt – Enterprises with significant technical debt are likely to find more benefits than organizations with modern enterprise architectures using the latest software and design patterns.
- Functional redundancy – Companies with a high degree of functional redundancy as a result of decentralized decision making, or mergers and acquisitions, are great candidates for optimization.
- Poor situational awareness – Organizations lacking an up-to-date and accurate application inventory and configuration management database are likely to realize significant benefits just from understanding what they have.
- Lack of EA standards – A firm with weak enterprise architecture standards that has a proliferation of different technologies and standards will likely benefit from an improved understanding of their current installed base.
- Data center migration – Rationalization initiatives are a great way to maximize the benefits of any data center migration by ensuring remediation of technical debt concurrently with the migration effort.
- Technology-enabled transformation – Organizations embarking on a large transformation initiative will likely replace a significant number of legacy systems. Scoping this in such a way as to simplify the application landscape will help realize maximum benefits of systems that will be decommissioned.
Application portfolio rationalization is a powerful technique for reducing IT costs, simplifying the IT landscape, reducing risk, retiring technical debt and improving situational awareness. However, such initiatives should be undertaken with a rigorous methodology and a well-architected plan if the aim is to sustain momentum and to realize the full potential of the benefits.
In the second installment in this series, I will share some insights on why CIOs shouldn’t be focused on application portfolio rationalization, but rather on “application portfolio optimization.”

I must admit, you are a formidable opponent. Your fight is strong, your will to steal unyielding and persistent. You are not satisfied with a portion, always hungry for more, thirsty for blood, and greedy for every moment that I am free from your grip. You bubble up in me, surprise me at the corner, pounce, attack, and it feels so often that I am far too weak to shake you off. You’re like a leech that sucks me dry. You’re like a big pimple on my face that distracts everyone around me. I fear they don’t look into my eyes, hear the words I’m saying, or notice the intention of my heart. All they notice about me is you…a big, ugly, zit. You are a wall that blocks me from connection, a bubble that bounces others off, a tight plastic coating that binds my arms and legs. You feel most like prison- restraining me, telling me what to do, and preventing me from living in freedom or joy. You ruin the sweetest of moments. You interrupt the best and worst of days. You stir me up, cause my heart to pound, make my mind worry about a million things all at once. So much of what I’ve spent time fearing never happened or worked out naturally. I regret letting you take the reigns. I’ve let you spoil moments I can’t get back. You’ve never busted down the doors, I have always let you inside. I sat back and watched you wreck my house and my most valuable possessions. I want to close the door now. I don’t want to let you in anymore- and I don’t have to. You’ve never kicked your way in, I have always hosted you. I heard your whisper and believed I had no choice ; but, that is another one of your tricks. I don’t have to live this way anymore. I am the author of my own life. I don’t have to passively sit back and accept this abusive relationship. I reclaim my mind. The sign is up in the lawn. The territory belongs to someone else now. You are no longer welcome. You are officially uninvited. In your place, I welcome a new guest. Truth tells me that I don’t have to worry, my needs will always be met, and reminds me that God is not angry or far off. Truth tells me I have a father, friend, savior, and victor called “Jesus”. He loves me, calls me to live freely, prompts me to joy, peace, strength, and courage. This new guest doesn’t steal, destroy, abuse, or bind. Truth gives me life, sets me free, lifts me up, and propels me forward. Because, as we both now know, I have bigger and better things to do.
“But the voice of truth tells me a different story, the voice of truth says “do not be afraid”. The voice of truth says “this is for my glory”. Out of all the voices calling out to me. I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth.”
-Casting Crowns, “The Voice of Truth”

Where is Ojén located
Ojén is located 56km from Malaga capital with a population of 3.702 inhabitants. The municipal term has a dimension of almost 85,92Km square
Origin of the name Ojén
The town’s name comes from the Arabic “Joxán” which means rough and hard.
Monuments and places of interest in Ojén
- The church of Our Lady of the Incarnation: The current temple was built in 1505 by order of the Archbishop of Seville on an old mosque from which you can still see the bell tower that was the old minaret of said mosque. In the 16th century after the rebellion of the Moors, the church was rebuilt by Bishop Francisco Blanco. Inside the temple is the image of San Dionisio de Areopagita, patron of the town.
- Fountain “De los Chorros”: The five-pipe fountain was built in 1905 by Pedro Sánchez. This source was a great sustenance for the town where the neighbors came to get water with pots and jars. The remaining water from the source is conducted through ditches to irrigate the orchards and fields of the town.

History of Ojén
Neanderthal presence has been found in the Middle Paleolithic, and there are other Neolithic settlements in the Pecho Redondo Cave. On presence in Roman times no writings have been found, although it is believed that there could have been a human presence.
In 711 the Arab denomination begins where a population nucleus is observed in the Ojén area, through the remains of the Castle and the use of water for agriculture similar to the ditches in Istán.
The first time that Ojén is cited is in the “Chronicle of the exploits of Cordovan emirs.” According to the chronicle, Abderramán III initiates a battle to subdue the rebellion of the Mozarabs (Christians who lived in the Muslim lands) and the Muladíes from Malaga. It is known that one of the battles between the rebels and the army was in front of the walls of the Castillo de Ojén. The uprising of the Mozarabs caused the existence of an ephemeral reign with capital in Bobastro; in 921 Abderramán liberated Ojén and his church was converted into a mosque.
In 1485 Fernando el Católico definitively reconquered the town. Ojén depended on Marbella that had also been reconquered that year, where the kings did not allow the presence of Muslims less than a league from the coast to avoid their collaboration with the Turkish pirates and the Berbers. and many inhabitants of Marbella settle in Ojén
Ojén becomes a “council” and the demarcation of the term is made. Ojén depends on Marbella, which appoints a regidor with civil and criminal jurisdiction. There were then in Ojén 114 neighbors, four of them old Christians. In 1505, by order of the Archbishop of Seville, Diego de Deza, the canonical erection of the current parish of Our Lady of the Incarnation was made. In 1568, during the reign of Felipe II, the rebellion of the Moors of Istán took place, and in 1569 the Moors of Ojén joined them, fleeing with their families and belongings to the nearby mountains leaving the lands after killing their neighbors. old Christians and burn down the church, houses and crops. Felipe II appoints the Duke of Medina Sidonia and the Duke of Arcos to pacify the Serranía de Ronda and end the rebellion.
In 1570 the war ended and Ojén was repopulated by old Christians. In 1609, the Moors were definitively expelled from the region by King Felipe III.
In 1807, Ojén became independent from Marbella.
In 1905 Pedro Fernández ordered the Fuente de los Chorros to be built, which was restored in 2006 by Enrique Salvo Rabasco and his team of restaurateurs.
In 1906, the Marquis of Larios built the Palacio de Juanar as a hunting lodge, where King Alfonso XIII was once invited. The Palacio de Juanar was enabled as a “National Parador” in 1965 and since 1984 it has been operated by a cooperative of workers in Ojén. | <urn:uuid:0a704a12-c0f7-410a-8c38-af407f1c9708> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.insidemalaga.com/ojen-village/ | 2023-09-26T06:48:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.959588 | 1,001 |

Often, companies that analyze data with Excel spreadsheets consider this tool the best option for this task. Power BI fans, on the other hand, are sure that their favorite rocks. To make the right decision on which Microsoft product to choose for your company, you need an unbiased view of them both.
This article encompasses a very detailed comparison of the two business analytics tools. The insights are based on the facts of the fast-growing big data market size.
So, if your company faces the issues connected with the efficient processing of big data and is looking for an option of how to cope with data volume growth, keep reading this article and find the best solution to meet your needs.
Power BI vs Excel: A comprehensive comparison
This section analyzes the difference between the two reporting tools based on the exact tasks you manage in your ordinary working life. This will help you understand the Power BI advantages over Excel and vice versa, depending on what you need, and consider it in your BI strategy.
Multiple sources input
Task: you need to connect multiple data sources for automating data inputs in real time.
Power BI vs Excel comparison: both reporting tools can address this issue almost with the same efficiency. For this, they use Power Query and get data from almost anywhere in real time.
However, for the process automation and exclusion of manual inputs, Microsoft Power BI uses Direct Query, whereas Excel has data connectors.
As for the ease of the data entry process, it is similar in both cases. The advantage of Excel, though, is the possibility to use unstructured data sets from unstructured sources and their manual or macros-driven processing afterward. However, people looking for Power BI benefits over Excel sometimes say that it’s not effective enough for steady dataflows, although it may be helpful for the operational work of the back office.
Task: you need to automate the data conversion from one format or structure to another for data processing at a later date.
Power BI vs Excel comparison: both business analytics tools efficiently handle this task thanks to Power Query. The latter allows for about 350 data transformation types. For instance, you get data from SQL Server, CSV file, OData, or any other data sources and convert them into a format convenient for data processing in Power BI or Excel. Power Query will do this transformation for you automatically.
Big Data Performance
Task: you need to analyze big data and build pivot tables for better data performance.
Power BI vs Excel comparison: both tools claim they work with millions of data rows, but Power BI still benefits over Excel in this task. *instinctools’ analysts who are experienced in using both Microsoft Power BI and Excel deny the two have a similar efficiency level.
According to the tests we’ve run, Excel effortlessly handles about 200-300 thousand rows, with one Excel sheet covering a bit more than one million rows. If you want to process more, you need to compile data from different sheets, which is time-consuming and not very convenient at all. Meanwhile, Power BI is more efficient when it comes to a data volume of up to 50-100 million rows, which is 100-200 times more than you can do in Excel.— Dzianis Yushkevich, Senior Business Intelligence Analyst, at *instinctools.
Another drawback of Microsoft Excel is that the Power Pivot data model is not available in all the Excel versions. Apart from building pivot tables as the standard Excel does, Power Pivot creates the more sophisticated data models, with filtering data, renaming columns while importing data, and much more.
Task: you need to update your data regularly to support its relevance.
Power BI vs Excel comparison: both reporting tools allow for automatic and scheduled data refreshing. Although some sources say that Excel automates data updates only with VBA, the pre-scheduled data refresh is also available.
When it comes to VBA usage, it cannot automate the data refresh process entirely because sometimes it will require a user to confirm certain steps. Apart from the inconvenience, the key stopper here is that users without basic knowledge of VBA cannot do this effectively.
Task: you need to do data calculations.
Power BI vs Excel comparison: in Power BI, the only option for data modeling and calculations is to use data analysis expressions (DAX). This is a library encompassing functions and operations that can be used for building expressions and formulas. In Microsoft Excel reports you can operate both DAX and standard Excel formulas, which is easier for people not acquainted with DAX.
Task: you need to visualize datasets for a better understanding of trends and fluctuations.
Power BI vs Excel comparison: the visualization toolset is very similar in Power BI and Excel. Users highlighting Power BI advantages over Excel may not know that the extra modules and add-ons can be used in Excel, too. Excel even has a module for building advanced business diagrams. Although both data analytics tools utilize the functionality of Power Query (to automate the processing of raw data), Power Pivot (to handle big data), and DAX (to make advanced calculations), Power BI forces users to get acquainted with this toolkit, whereas Excel does not.
Generally, Power BI is like a combination of Excel and Access in one application, but with more powerful options for data processing and a broad portfolio of ready-to-use visualization solutions. Power Query is also integrated better into Power BI thanks to its more powerful internal memory and processing.— Dzianis Yushkevich, Senior Business Intelligence Analyst, at *instinctools.
If you are looking for a tool with better interaction opportunities, Microsoft Power BI will come in handy here, too.
When it comes to diagrams, Power BI benefits over Excel because it is more convenient in use, there is less room for error, and since the diagram is connected to the dataset directly, the transformation of data into visual happens almost instantly.— Dzianis Yushkevich, Senior Business Intelligence Analyst, at *instinctools.
Task: you need to aggregate data in different ways depending on the task.
Power BI vs Excel comparison: Power BI automates the reporting process and can work with multiple dataflows. Meanwhile, Excel allows for versatile advanced modeling and solving non-trivial analytic tasks. Taking a helicopter view, Power BI utilizes matrix tables, decomposition trees, insights, and key influencers. But, only in Quick Insights are there up to 32 insight cards.
As for Microsoft Excel, you can create dashboards and easily analyze data with Pivot Tables, using formulas anywhere you want, entering data, or applying visualization templates.
Task: you need to share your reports inside or outside your organization, and still prevent any hijacking associated with the fraudulent activities of third parties.
Power BI vs Excel comparison: generally, Power BI is considered a more secure tool than Excel because of its highly secure password access and restricted access to roles.
Task: you need to access reports on a smartphone.
Power BI vs Excel comparison: Power BI benefits over Excel reports in this question because Power BI allows for much easier interactions with its mobile-driven version. As for Excel, although it claims to have the same functionality as the desktop version has, actually, it is only convenient for the report reviewing. If you’d like to make any on-the-go changes, Power BI is a better option for any mobile device.
Task: you want to choose a cost-efficient tool for your data analysis.
Microsoft Excel comes at a flat rate of $135 if you buy a standalone version or $6.99/mo if it is a part of Office 365 Suite.
What are Power BI benefits over Excel?
To summarize the benefits of Power BI, let’s use the following list:
- It processes larger data volumes.
- It has more functionality for data visualization.
- It automates the processing of data coming from multiple sources.
- It assures higher data security.
- It is more convenient to use on a mobile device.
Power BI and Excel: the perfect combination of both
If you are still undecided about whether to switch to Power BI, you can benefit from using both tools at once. Although Excel will remain your main tool, you can connect Power BI for some of its functionalities. For instance, you can build Power BI dashboards with multiple workbooks in a single view.
Also, you can easily discover insights with Power BI reports.
In addition, you can enrich your analytics and maintain the flexibility you need.
When is the right time to move forward?
It’s time to start thinking about Power BI refresh data from Excel if your data volumes are growing and you need an efficient tool that can cope with such datasets. This migration will let you process big data, use data on the go, and make your reports more secure. If you don’t know where to start or how to tune up the data analysis process in your company, turn to *instinctools — we’ll provide you with an efficient and cost-saving Power BI service. | <urn:uuid:d39259c9-9931-4880-9058-0c04629f471e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.instinctools.com/blog/power-bi-vs-excel-which-tool-fits-your-business-needs/ | 2023-09-26T04:47:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.895999 | 1,890 |
Alberta Life Insurance Brokers: Your Best Insurance Advice
When shopping for life insurance, disability insurance or health insurance you might
have been approached by any number of agents representing different companies to offer you advice and insurance products. Very often agents who represent only one company cannot offer you the same quality and selection of life insurance and health insurance products in Alberta that would suit your needs, or be the most competitively priced.
An Alberta life insurance broker will be able to offer you the best insurance advice, be able to shop the entire Canadian life insurance market on your behalf, and knows which insurance companies would be best suited to your needs. Not all life insurance brokers are created equal, however. Let us look at some basic characteristics that make an Alberta life insurance broker the expert that can serve your needs.
Access To All The Major Life Insurance Companies
An Alberta life insurance broker should have access to any of the major life insurance companies in Canada. There is a core list of the top companies that your broker should have contracts with in order to get you the best insurance deal. Here is a list in alphabetical order: BMO Insurance, Canada Life, Desjardins, Empire Life, Equitable Life, Industrial Alliance Pacific, Manulife Financial, RBC Insurance, Standard Life, Sun Life, and Transamerica.
These are the top 10 life insurance companies in Canada today (Canada Life is the brokerage arm of Great West Life, and their products are very similar). There are a number of life insurance companies that recruit only career agents and train them to sell selective products not offered to the brokerage market. These companies include Freedom 55, Primerica and Sun Life Career Sales (some unique products). There are also career agents who only represent certain companies, even if those companies allow brokers to also sell their products. These captive agent companies would be RBC Insurance Career Sales, Desjardins, Industrial Alliance Pacific, Sun Life Career Sales and World Financial Group (sells main Transamerica policies).
If you are dealing with a captive agent, you will not have access to the entire Canadian marketplace to find the cheapest life insurance policy that meets your needs. And in some cases, like with Primerica, the life insurance policies are inferior to the standard policy sold in the market (in Primericas case, the company only sells term life insurance and has no permanent policies to convert the term to later in life).
If your insurance broker or agent does not have access to at least 8 of the top ten companies, you could be buying a policy that will cost you much more than you should be paying in a competitive life insurance market.
Access To Specialty Insurance Companies
Not everyone fits into the "average" Canadian mould. There are a number of specialized insurance companies that would be able to offer unique benefits for situations out of the ordinary. Below is a list of companies in the specialty market and what kinds of unique benefits they offer our clients in Alberta.
Assumption Life: very good for foreign travel: even insuring Albertans living overseas as ex-patriots. Can do online/telephone applications for clients in remote locations.
Canada Protection Plan: the best non-medical life insurance company in Canada. Offers different types of plans for different types of health risks. If you are unhealthy and cannot qualify for regular life insurance, CPP will probably be able to offer you a policy.
The Edge Benefits: the best specialty disability and living benefits insurance company for blue collar workers and trades people in Canada. Specialty products designed for higher risk jobs.
Access to these specialty carriers will round out your broker's offering and make his/her advice appropriate for any situation. If you fit into an abnormal category, like travelling overseas regularly or you have a major health issue, your life insurance broker should be able to offer you some options.
Having technical expertise and negotiating power ia another important factor of an insurance brokerage. Unfortunately, not all brokers have the kind of support they should have to best serve their clients. In the Canadian brokerage world, agents and agencies work with larger brokerage shops called Managing General Agencies (MGAs). These MGAs have build solid reputations with life insurance companies over time and have a large number of life insurance agents who process business through them.
The MGA provides ongoing training, expertise in designing complex insurance policies, ability to negotiate problem cases with the underwriters of a particular insurance company, and an efficient and up-to-date back office administrative system. Financial Management, a PPI Solutions Company, is a geat example of a strong MGA. Financial Management is now the largest MGA in all of Western Canada, and partnered with PPI Solutions makes it is the largest MGA in Canada. They have a deep relationship with insurance companies going back 35 years. They offer insurance agents and agencies the best back office support, state of the art online administrative and tracking systems, and the technical and underwriting support needed to get clients the best policies.
Your Best Alberta Life Insurance Broker
If you are already working with a life insurance broker, check to see if they offer you all the options and support mentioned above. If you are working with a captive life insurance agent, you would be wise to get a second opinion before you buy (or on the insurance product you have already bought).
Try to find an insurance broker who can offer you all these options; top life insurance companies and specialty carriers in Canada; technical excellence, underwriting support and negotiating power, and a high level of customer service is what you should expect in the industry.

Selling a Used Car - 5 Ways to Get the Best Deal by:Seamus Cooley
So, that's it. It's time to part company and move on. No longer does the bodywork excite you, even though it still gleams in the sunlight and, although you've had a good run together, you've got your eye on a new, younger model.
Are you planning to sell your used car? If yes, following are a few guidelines that will help you get the best deal possible:
1) You should make sure that your used car is in good overall shape and appearance. If you really want to get a good deal from selling your used car, it is very important to improve the overall appearance as much as you possibly can.
- Inside the car should be vacuum-cleaned.
- Burnt lights, fuses, or other damaged accessories should be replaced or repaired.
- The battery of the car should be in good overall general condition.
- Make sure all of the tires are properly inflated and glossed up.
- Have an auto reconditioning done if you think your vehicle is in real need of it.
2) Your vehicle service record, showing the details of all servicing done on your used car, such as oil changes and battery check-ups etc, is the most significant selling tool. Organize all the service reports you have in the car file. A well-maintained record is bound to impress your customers.
3) Most potential buyers are more concerned about the mileage of the used car your selling. Therefore, you should make sure you keep the Auto Check Vehicle Report of your vehicle ready before inviting customers. Provide a copy of this report to your potential buyers to show them that your used car has never been wrecked and that its mileage has never been tampered with or adjusted.
4) Instead of just advertising in newspaper adverts that are limited only to a local population, you should advertise in popular online used car websites to get a massive exposure and a larger number of responses.
5) You should not quote a very high asking price. Also, do not under-price because if you do so, buyers will definitely suspect the quality of your used vehicle. Therefore, before advertising your used car for sale, make sure you have researched the market thoroughly to estimate the best value for your vehicle.
Thus, a proper market research, organized car-maintenance records, an auto check vehicle report, good advertising, and awesome negotiating skills can help you sell your car at the best price.

Written in partnership with cbdMD
If you’ve tried CBD before or even use it regularly, you might have wondered if you’d be better off taking more of it. There’s no official chart saying you should take X amount of CBD for this or that purpose, the way there is with many other supplements. So, a lot of people have wound up taking the standard serving size listed on the bottle, which can range anywhere from 5 mg to 150 mg in typical CBD products.
That might leave you with the impression that taking more might lead to some sort of problem. But in fact, research suggests that most people have probably been taking too little. Studies of the benefits of CBD on human subjects typically use much larger amounts than the standard daily serving size – often amounts that would be difficult for the average person to afford. But fortunately, cbdMD now has high potency CBD products that cost you only a few dollars a day!
Benefits of High Potency CBD
The benefits of high potency CBD are essentially the same as you get from CBD in general, but more so. These include:
- Everyday stress management
- Better sleep
- Exercise recovery
- Easing discomfort
- Improved mood
As we mentioned earlier, most studies supporting these benefits used quite strong CBD dosages, usually hundreds of milligrams. Exactly how much works for you will vary depending on your unique physiology, but in general, when it comes to CBD, more is better.
What Is the Strongest Strength of CBD?
Most CBD products offer fewer than 100 mg of CBD per serving, which has generally been a function more of supply and demand than anything else. When CBD first became legal at the start of 2019, the burst of pent-up demand meant that the supply of hemp was behind the curve. That’s why high potency CBD has historically been so expensive.
Nowadays, the market has matured and there’s no reason not to go for higher potencies except habit. cbdMD’s new line of products have 6000 mg of CBD per bottle, or 200 mg for serving, which is more than most commercially available CBD products, and they go for less than $90 a bottle. For even more power, you can take the 7500 mg CBD oil tincture with 250 mg per serving.
How Much CBD Should I Take?
The 200-250 mg per serving provided by those products is a good daily amount for most people, so you can use that as a baseline amount. Taking a daily CBD regimen is a good idea because it builds up in your system over time, increasing the benefits. If you wish, you can supplement with specialty products like CBD sleep aids or CBD topicals for particular needs.
And you can take more than that if you want! While studies differ slightly on the question of how much CBD is too much, you’d clearly have to take thousands of milligrams at a time before you hit it. So, if you’ve been taking a daily 100-200 mg of CBD for a few weeks, and aren’t feeling the results you want, feel free to gradually increase it even past the regular serving size.
If you’ve been taking broad spectrum CBD products but are open to using a little THC, you can also up your game with full spectrum CBD products. These include a small amount of THC that isn’t enough to get you high but can make the CBD feel more potent even with the same number of milligrams.
Moreover, even if you’re satisfied with using less than 200 mg a day, it’s worth pointing out that buying a high potency product can actually be more cost-effective. You can easily take a half serving – even of the gummies or capsules, since a full serving is two pieces – and the bottle will last you twice as long as a lower-potency product, without costing twice as much. So, check out a higher potency CBD product today!

“Are you sweet 17?” the polygamous patriarch, 53, asked his daughter, whom he shares with ex-wife Christine Brown, during the Sunday, October 9, episode. Ysabel quickly corrected her father, saying, “I’m almost Sweet 18. This is an [18th birthday] party”
“Oh yeah, so you’re sweet 18. That’ll get you a new car,” Kody announced in front of the entire family as the teenager claimed it “was worth it.”
“It’s worth it ’cause she didn’t waste her kisses on any stupid boys,” the father of 18 continued, before going on to explain his definition of a “sweet 16.”
“A sweet 16 birthday party is a birthday party where the girl hasn’t been kissed. I don’t know where this term came from, it was something I was hearing in high school,” he explained. “A girl who hasn’t ever kissed a boy.”
“Young men and young women, or men and women, should both do the same thing. You protect yourself; you find trust before you’re driven mad with sexuality,” the Wyoming native continued.
In another scene, Kody admitted his relationships with his older children have remained “strained” following drama surrounding his strict COVID-19 pandemic rules.
“I’m not in a good place with everybody and it’s not that I’m trying to be angry or trying to hold them accountable in this moment or anything like that,” the businessman continued. “I don’t feel like I’ve got the respect that I should have.”
Apart from Ysabel, Christine, 50, and Kody share kids: Mykelti, Aspyn, Paedon, Gwendlyn and Truely. Season 17 of the series documented the changing family dynamics following Christine’s decision to leave her marriage with Kody.
As for her parents’ divorce, Ysabel admitted it wasn’t a surprise as she “did see it coming.” “Of course, like I’m sad about it, like, sometimes it just doesn’t work out,” she continued in an interview with producers. “I’m happy that my mom will be able to find somebody who she’s really, really, really happy with.”
Meanwhile, Mykelti Brown, Christine and Kody’s older daughter, felt “relieved” once she heard her mother was leaving the polygamous patriarch.
“They’re not happy, they’re not in love,” she explained in a confessional, alongside her husband, Tony Padron. Meanwhile, he added, “I thought it was a little inevitable, I can’t imagine any man being perfect enough to be able to handle four wives.”

Every month that’s passed since COVID-19 was declared a pandemic has felt incredibly confusing.
It’s already September, but it also feels like it’s been years since we were asked to try to stay indoors if we could. The number of cases and deaths continues to grow, and these increasing numbers feel scary, hard to control, and unavoidable in distressing ways. We’ve grown scared of statistics, of math itself. But there’s only one place I’ve dependably found comfort in numbers, and it’s been missing for too long. Where has @CountVonCount gone?
The Count, the beloved, Bela Lugosi-inspired vampire of Sesame Street, like many characters from the show, has a Twitter account, but unlike other characters — whose accounts offer a mixture of interaction, insight, promotion, and storytelling — Count Von Count’s Twitter account has only one purpose: counting. The account’s every tweet counts a number one digit greater than the previous tweet’s. With 2,687 tweets, @CountVonCount’s last update was “Two thousand six hundred eighty seven!” That was six months ago.
“Two thousand six hundred eighty seven!”
The Count has disappeared before. His last long break stretched from November 2019 to February of this year (89 days), with a shorter break before that in 2017 (45 days). These tweets come sporadically, at different times of the day. Sometimes they’re once in a while and sometimes they’re three times a day. Since the tweet “One hundred seventy six! Ah ah ah!,” The Count’s tweets have had the source label “Count Von Count Counts” (before that, tweets were from Twitter Web Client and Percolate, a content marketing platform), though it’s been shown that Twitter users can make it seem like they’re tweeting from a device of a different name. All this to say that it’s likely a person, not an automation, behind the Twitter account (the Sesame Workshop team was not available for comment on this story).
I wonder what they thought when engagement spiked on their numbers. The most popular tweets (you might’ve guessed) are “Sixty nine!” (28K likes, 23K retweets, at the time of writing) and “Four hundred twenty!” (15K likes, 14K retweets, at the time of writing), but after that, there are few discernible outliers. What makes “Six hundred forty five!” (58 likes, 22 retweets, at the time of writing) more popular than “Four hundred fifty one! Ah ah ah!” (49 likes, 31 retweets, at the time of writing) or less popular than “Five hundred seventy three!” (100 likes, 56 retweets, at the time of writing)? Was there any thought process behind the 343 numbers that were followed by “Ah ah ah!” or the 2,344 that weren’t?
For the most part, these tweets create pure, context-free content. While The Count threw in occasional commentary early on (what’s special about 27, 61, and 161 that makes them the only three “Lightning round!” tweets? Why did 7, 35, and 60 make him look back on all the wonderful counting?), most numbers are just numbers, occasionally accompanied by gleeful laughter. It’s up to the fans to choose what to do with them.
“Five hundred seventy three!”
Some fans of The Count see the numbers as an opportunity to compete to see who can respond first. Some followers bring personal meaning to the individual numbers and or cheer The Count on for reaching certain number milestones. Some use them as opportunities to calculate some numbers of their own, like Ryan Veeder, a game designer, who estimates he’s been responding to the account since around tweet number 243 (five years ago), trying to factor prime numbers into each number The Count tweets.
For Veeder, factoring numbers is a way to relax: “when I’m thinking about this math problem, I can’t think of anything else,” he told me. “It kind of clears my mind, I guess.” At times, there were others who would compete with Veeder to be the first to respond to The Count with a correct factor, but, he says, “That was not fun for very long. I don’t want to be in competition with anyone. I don’t want anyone, really, to notice me doing this.” It’s a personal, private sort of connection. “I remember being on road trips and being out of cellular service for a while and writing down the numbers that he had recently tweeted so I could figure those out, you know, have those factorizations ready, so that when I got back to having mobile data, I could respond to him.”
Numbers beget numbers. The Count inspires a deeper reading into something the character clearly feels very, very passionate about. That’s how, for example, you end up with two different riddles from FiveThirtyEight, calculating how many numbers The Count could tweet before running out of characters (apparently, it’s 101,373,373,373,373,373,373,372). But The Count has disappeared. “It’s kind of like if you had a friend who, once in a while, not with any prompting, comes up behind you and gives you a back rub,” says Veeder, “and it's like, 'Oh, that’s nice.' And then that friend goes away for six months.”
What can we do while we wait for The Count to suddenly appear and count 2,688? Scrolling back through old numbers doesn’t do it; the excitement comes from the newness of the numbers and the active feeling of communication. Film director David Lynch has been creating some contextless number content on his YouTube channel during quarantine. “Ten balls,” Lynch says to the camera daily, holding a jar of lottery balls. “Each ball has a number. Numbers one through ten. Swirl the numbers. Pick a number.” Then he announces the number of the day, with no interpretation or explanation of what it may mean.
Jared Gilman, an actor and film student, is a regular fan of the series, making predictions about which numbers will be chosen and which definitely couldn’t be chosen. He started predicting which numbers Lynch would pick, as a joke, and then started getting his predictions right: “I had a streak of about five or six days. It was pretty great, honestly.” Recently, one of his predictions went badly when he said Lynch might pick 1, 3, or 7, out of the jar, but definitely not 10. Lynch’s pick was the nightmare scenario. They’re just numbers, but it doesn’t stop Gilman from finding meaning in the guesses. “I’m trying to bring back a bit — that maybe I kind of lost from when I was in college — an appreciation for dumb, little things,” Gilman said.
It’s been six long months since The Count tweeted. “I could count forever, count until I drop,” The Count once sang. I hope we didn’t reach the limit. After all, “Once I’ve started counting, it’s very hard to stop.” And some friendly numbers would be pretty nice right now. | <urn:uuid:d641a1f4-d3ca-4db5-a1c0-6c23d3992b70> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.inverse.com/input/culture/covid-19-has-made-us-all-scared-children-where-is-the-count-when-you-need-him | 2023-09-26T07:07:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.960037 | 1,636 |

On today’s podcast I talk about creating a life of financial freedom.
I think this is a very approriate time for me to be talking about this becauase last week I returned from a two month trip to the Bahamas where I was living on my catamaran.
I was interviewed by my students Fred and Andy on Sunday night on an IG Live that they were hosting, and one of their main questions on that interview revolved around how to create financial freedom, and what it means to build your life by design and to have a freedom lifestyle.
But their real question was “How do you manage to be off the grid in the Bahamas for two months and still have your real estate business run so efficiently? So I thought I would talk about this concept of financial freedom on today’s podcast episode.
Building a life by design means having intent in how you want to live your life, and then creating that life and that lifestlye by purposely planning for it. Learning how to invest in real estate and building a real estate business that buys and sells real estate is the best vehicle to help you achieve financial freedom.
If you have any questions, leave them in the comments.

I used to have a lot of negative beliefs surrounding my love life. Fears of rejection, of not being ‘girlfriend material’ and all that. I still do to some extent, but I am very aware of them and am trying to replace them with better feeling beliefs and thoughts.
Now usually, I get infatuated very easily, and this is where I have most seen the Law of Attraction in my life (in a negative way). I’d meet a guy who seemed really nice and was into me, I’d get totally infatuated, triggering all my fears and negative beliefs, and subsequently lose him for no apparent reason. Law of Attraction in action, of course.
Now I have met someone who seems exactly like I’d envisioned my ideal man to be, and I am falling into infatuation fast. This did trigger some ‘stuff’, which I am working on with Focus Blocks and other techniques. Thing is, I always get waaaay ahead of myself when I fall into infatuation. Imagining the whole relationship after only a couple of dates, marriage, kids, the whole shebang. And I can’t shake this paranoia that my daydreaming will sabotage the whole thing and it won’t work out for just that reason.
So – how do I work around this? Is it ok for me to daydream about our potential future as long as I keep focusing on clearing the issues that it brings up, or am I just setting myself up for disappointment? How can I get excited about this potential relationship without becoming desperate for it?
I strongly suspect I already know the answer deep inside but if one of you IQ’ers would care to remind me, I’d be happy :)
I don't think there is anything wrong at all with dreaming or imagining a potential future as long as you don't get too desperate like you mentioned. It sounds like you are putting too much pressure on yourself and too much pressure on how the other person needs to fit just the right way.
The best bet would be to just let go of all expectations and let someone flow effortlessly to you.
There is no need to put stipulations on how you react or how he may potentially react in the beginning stages. If you could just start to focus more on having fun and enjoying each others company, instead of letting your negative habitual beliefs kick in, then you will feel the relief inside of yourself and also put yourself into the "allowing mode" instead of the "worry mode."
Fears of rejection and not being girlfriend material are worrying. When you are putting your laser beam focus on worry every time this situation comes up, one way or another, you will obtain the same unsatisfying results.
Continue to change the negative beliefs in the best way that works for you. Be repetitive in inserting new beliefs and do it with a joyful feeling. Don't ever make it feel like work or some job you have to do because there will be no positive feeling in the affirmations or whatever technique you use.
Every time you have these habitual beliefs pop up you need to try and eliminate them in the Now moment. I mentioned something similar to this with the Stop, Drop, and Roll method.
If you can become aware of what you are thinking in the here and now moment, you can begin to neutralize it with consistent conscious awareness of what you are thinking and how you are feeling.
So in other words, when you start thinking things in this very moment like, "I have a fear of rejection" - you could instead say...
"I know this situation will work itself out in the perfect way and I am going to enjoy every minute of it no matter what happens."
When you start thinking things like, "I'm not girlfriend material" - maybe you say to yourself...
"I love myself for who I am and I know the perfect guy will find his way to me when the time is right"
These are quick and simple examples to get you started in the moment when you initially think of your unwanted belief. If you can start to even slowly change the negative thought on the spot with a new positive statement, you will eventually get to a point to where you pause for even a split second, and think about what you really want to say or how you really want to feel about yourself.
Continue to stay aware of these thoughts like you said you were doing. As soon as you are aware try to neutralize them at that moment with new positive input. Use EFT, Focus Blocks, or even simple affirmations that give you a feeling of happiness and relief.
Stay consistent just as you would while picking weeds from your garden. Every time you see one pop up, instantly get rid of it so you have fertile soil to sows your new seeds. Then eventually with enough attention and watering of your crops, you will reap the harvest of the perfect man in just the right situation that works best for you.
Go into the whole process to have fun and enjoy your time with him and leave it to the universe to figure out. Keep it simple and just feel good by enjoying each other's company and leave it at that. Just let go of all the other baggage that you are unnecessarily putting on your back.

@Brittanyhopson96- And to All Those Who Are Desperately Seeking Love!!!:
I wanted to throw my two cents in here. It is almost painful for me to look back at how I was when I was your age! OMG!!! I had this insane crush on this guy in my viola section in orchestra. It started at age 9, and did not end....Practically ever. He moved away my Junior year of High School, and even though his departure was good for my musical advancement, it destroyed me deep inside. It was not until I learned of the LOA that I learned how my infatuation guaranteed that he would never really be part of my life. Even though I have kept contact with him over the years, even to the extent of visiting him at his college out west (he is a Professor of Music now), he never looked twice at me... I felt like an annoying piece of furniture when I went to see him, and it made me see how you can never make anyone love you! Saying (or acting like) "I need him (or her) desperately" just fuels the desperation! It is as if you are broadcasting desperately desperate vibes all over the place, which is a guaranteed turn-off to just about everybody...
In your defense, I have to say this: Hormones!!! It is hormones raging all over. Your body is saying: Breed! Even at the advanced age of 21, your brain is still not done maturing, and judgment is still iffy. I wish I had known that way back when...Else I would not have been a mother of three by age 25, (or four by 30)- not that I would send any of them back... But I was in no shape to raise kids as I was still a kid myself! There is no way that anyone could have convinced me to do anything differently, but I do wish that I had known about the brain not being mature until age 25 or so. That is the best reason I know to go to college (or trade school), and stay out of "harm's way" until you are through school. Here's a link to an article about this: link text
In short: Please take your time, ride the merry-go-round until you are a grandmother, and enjoy being young. You are going to spend much more of your life dealing with aging than you are going to be dealing with loneliness!

Hi! :) I am the shortsighted person :) I would like to know if I could fully recover my sight applying LoA techniques. I suffer from Myopia in quite a high degree. The only solution for my problem is (other than wearing glasses) surgery, which at the time is very expensive and still has many risks and side effects, and I am not very willing to try it, to tell you the truth...
I have manifested quite a bunch of things already, as getting rid of some chronic pain through Affirmations, and I am also improving my temper a lot. (Still needs more working though). Those are the most important things I have manifested. Other things were just material, petty things...
I was wondering if recovering my sight without resourcing to Drs. was possible?
If so, what would be the best techniques?
And also, being this a phisical condition (the eyeball is too long) I need to conquer my doubts about my being able to manifest changing the shape of the eyeball! What would be the best way of achieving this? (conquering my doubts).
Of course, I have some ideas, but I am not sure of being in the right path.
I would like your advice very much, thank you!
Hi Bridget, I suggest that you maintain the thought of seeing better and let the universe show you a way that it can happen. Maybe your short sighted ness will not change but you may become more intuitive. When you put out a request to the universe, let the universe determine its response. You never know what you will get but rest assured your desire must manifest. Hope this helps

I am severely myopic (That means near-sighted) (-9.75 right eye, -9.50 left eye, and astigmatic in both at the present time- I give these numbers in case you understand them), and have been myopic since I was four. I remember the ophthalmologist telling my parents that my eyes would gradually get worse until I was old enough to wear hard contacts. The hard contacts would stop the progression of the myopia by holding my eyeballs' shapes.
Now this may not answer your question at all, but I do remember thinking about Helen Keller. She was still alive when I was a little girl, and I admired her. At the age of four, I decided to tell Jesus that I would accept my eye troubles and would not complain for my whole life. As I write this, I cannot believe I made such a grown-up decision so young, but it is the truth. When I grew older, I read Helen's autobiography, and came away from that book with great gratitude that I was not blind.
I know I sound like Pollyanna here, but I truly did ask God to help me accept my near-sightedness. I told Him that I would accept it for my whole life as a thank you to Him for the sight that I did have.
Since then, I do not think about my myopia very much. I am grateful for my contacts. I have always doubly appreciated it when I see something very beautiful, and I have always stored the sight away for the days when I grew old and perhaps would completely lose my sight for some reason or other.
I am now middle-aged, and have developed some trouble with my eyes due to diabetes. For example, I have trouble writing these answers because the print is so small. (I wonder if the powers that be realize how hard it is to see this print after the age of forty!)(Yes, I know I can adjust my computer, but I am saving that for when it gets really bad.)
Anyway, I still am grateful for the sight I have, and I now have to wear contacts and glasses both to see.
I now am amazed that I had such acceptance for my problem at such an early age. My parents, on the other hand, were frantic for me. I needed new glasses every six months, and they really could not afford them, so I spent a lot of time not really seeing very clearly. But it was such a kick to get a new pair of glasses and to be able to see even the individual leaves on the trees, and the blades of grass.
Gratitude has seemed to work for me all my life- maybe it will work for you, too.
Blessings (while squinting LOL), Jai
If there is a LOA solution to your problem, I believe that it will come to you in an unexpected way, probably not in the way you might expect. If it happens as a result of your own healing energy, you will see other benefits besides healing of your eyes.
But it may happen some other way.
In the book, "The Power of Alpha Thinking," Jess Stearn talks about how a spiritual guru helped a female acquaintance of his having a long-standing pelvic problem. This guru correctly determined that the problem was in her pelvic region, characterizing what he saw as a "dark shape."
He did not diagnose the woman, saying that, "I am not a doctor, and so cannot consciously interpret what I see." Nor did he attempt to heal the woman himself. Instead, he "sent her a subconscious message" to change doctors. Within weeks, she was better, having gotten the correct treatment.

3D Touch shortcut menus give iPhone 6s and 6s Plus users a fast way to access commonly used functions without opening an app. The iOS Camera app is one example, with four shortcuts listed: Take Selfie, Record Video, Record Slo-mo, and Take Photo. Obviously there are some Camera options missing, but this is because 3D Touch menus are limited to four actions system-wide. Prolific camera jailbreak developer PoomSmart seeks to change all of this with two tweaks.
CamTouch adds Take Panorama and Record Time-Lapse to the 3D Touch shortcut menu on the Camera app, bringing the number of actions up to six. There are no settings or options to configure, however a second tweak will automatically be installed as a dependency to CamTouch.
UnlimShortcut is the second tweak, which extends the number of 3D Touch menu shortcuts beyond four. Not only this, but UnlimShortcut adds options under Settings to customize the layout of 3D Touch pop up menus. Row height, font size, icon height and more can be finely adjusted to better fit more 3D Touch menu items on the home screen.
UnlimShortcut and CamTouch are both free on the Cydia app store. To start customizing iOS, click here for instructions on how to jailbreak iOS 9 with Pangu.

1H, 13C, 15N Backbone and sidechain chemical shift assignments of the C-terminal domain of human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 2B17 (UGT2B17-C).
UDP-glucuronosyltransferases are the principal enzymes involved in the glucuronidation of metabolites and xenobiotics for physiological clearance in humans. Though glucuronidation is an indispensable process in the phase II metabolic pathway, UGT-mediated glucuronidation of most prescribed drugs (> 55%) and clinical evidence of UGT-associated drug resistance are major concerns for therapeutic development. While UGTs are highly conserved enzymes, they manifest unique substrate and inhibitor specificity which is poorly understood given the dearth of experimentally determined full-length structures. Such information is important not only to conceptualize their specificity but is central to the design of inhibitors specific to a given UGT in order to avoid toxicity associated with pan-UGT inhibitors. Here, we provide the 1H, 13C and 15N backbone (~ 90%) and sidechain (~ 62%) assignments for the C-terminal domain of UGT2B17, which can be used to determine the molecular binding sites of inhibitor and substrate, and to understand the atomic basis for inhibitor selectivity between UGT2B17 and other members of the UGT2B subfamily. Given the physiological relevance of UGT2B17 in the elimination of hormone-based cancer drugs, these assignments will contribute towards dissecting the structural basis for substrate specificity, selective inhibitor recognition and other aspects of enzyme activity with the goal of selectively overcoming glucuronidation-based drug resistance. | <urn:uuid:0e48180c-6cf3-4f44-98f3-efa508c67f30> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.iric.ca/fr/recherche/publications/sup-1-sup-h-sup-13-sup-c-sup-15-sup-n-backbone-and-sidechain-chemical-shift-assignments-of-the-c-terminal-domain-of-human-udp-glucuronosyltransferase-2b17-ugt2b17-c | 2023-09-26T06:05:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.890949 | 341 |

21 July 2017:Government is looking for merger of 21 public sector banks to convert into 10 to 12 in the medium term.
The government is working on creating a handful of big global banks, more efficient banking universe consisting of only 3 or 4 entities. However bank union feel that this will not help in strengthen the balance sheets of the beleaguered public sector banks. According to CH Venkatachalam, generally Secretary of all India Bank Employees’ Association (AIBEA),”what purpose will it serve? What kinds of banks are being looked at for the merger? There are many questions. The weakness in the banks is due to bad loans. The solution is by resolving those and getting recovery”. Reports show that a government is looking at merging of 21 public sector banks into 10 to 12 banks. Probably large public sectors banks like Punjab national, Bank of Baroda, Canara Bank and Bank of India could absorb other smaller banks. The reason behind this is the growing number of banks.
11 July 2017:Old age is mostly about loneliness and difficult times. Far more difficult problem is when the prices of medical claim rise and insurance cover fails to reimburse it and all this happens when there is absence of regular income. To address this problem NHB (National Housing Bank) in 2008 has initiated a new home loan product known as the “Golden Walking Stick” which provides home loans to the senior citizens above 60 years. It involves pledging the house you live in the bank and in return you receive an amount from the bank without having to part with your house. The maximum tenure of the loan is 20 years and the monthly income on this basis is Rs.50000. Larger amount can be withdrawn owing to medical or house repair reasons. Bank has to bear the risk of declining prices of property and even the borrower has to maintain the house. However it is difficult for senior citizens to surrender their property to the bank also the complexity makes it difficult for them to agree to the terms and conditions of the bank. So this project is yet to take off. Determining the amount of loan on the basis of the property is an international norm. In Canada reverse mortgages are done at 55%, in United States it is done at 50-60% and in Australia it is done at 40%. There are a very few banks which prefer reverse mortgages and rarely sanction more than 15-20% of the value of the property. Keeping in mind the new social scenario it's time government takes positive steps towards needs of the senior citizens.

25 August 2017: Bank officers' union AIBOC has condemned the government move to setup ministerial panel to expedite consolidation among public sector banks. "We have time and again criticised forced mergers and we will continue to protest such ill conceived plans of merger of PSBs by government, Niti Aayog and RBI which can wreck havoc on India's financial mainstay," All India Bank Officers Confederation (AIBOC) said in a statement. Citing example of SBI, AIBOC General Secretary D T Franco said when the bank declared its results on May 19, analysts discovered, to their horror, that the path to global greatness lay through a minefield of subsidiaries' losses, estimated at Rs 5,792 crore in the quarter ended March 2017 and Rs 10,243 crore for the full year. "We can well understand the fact that the merger of public sector banks is a part of the government's broader plan to privatise the public enterprises to attract foreign investment," Franco said.

The government has increased the minimum wage from Rs 7000 p.m to Rs 18000 p.m. Central Government employees are advised with different investment schemes post 7th pay commission which will be effective from January 1, 2016. Employees should first think about their needs rather than their wants and should consider spending the amount on paying off the debts and try to close personal loans, car loans, credit cards dues if any.
“People should focus on clearing loans with higher interest rates, typically personal loans and credit to overspend, else you may risk losing the benefits of a salary hike”, Adhil Shetty, CEO of Bankbazaar.com, said.
Employees are asked to relook their tax planning as now they may need to pay higher taxes. People in their late 40s can invest this money in their retirement corpus and can split it into debt and equity mutual funds. If you are a parent, start saving funds for your children’s education in the form of SIP. Invest your money in mutual funds to get tax benefits instead of letting it sit ideal in FDs.
04 October 2017:The Reserve Bank of India today opened a branch in the city to make transactions and business communications of the state government more convenient. Launching the RBI's branch here, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat said it was an important step which will speed up the economic development of the state as well as making financial transactions of the government more useful.

India’s largest lender has now increased its stake to 74% in both ventures, and Carlyle is acquiring the remaining stake.
Dinesh Kumar Khara, managing director in charge of associates and subsidiaries at SBI, said the cards JVs are looking to capitalise on the growing opportunities in India as cashless transactions increase. Carlyle is investing in SBI Cards through affiliate Carlyle Asia Partners IV, its fourth Asia buyout fund. This is Carlyle’s second venture in India.

03 November 2017:SBI on Thursday has said that all home loans up to Rs 30 lakh to eligible salaried borrowers can be availed at an interest rate of 8.3% which was earlier 8.35%-8.4%. Car loans will now be priced between 8.7% and 9.2%, as against 8.75%-9.25% earlier. Country’s biggest lender has reduced the MCLR by 5 basis points on Tuesday, taking the one year MCLR to 7.95%. Last month, rating agency Crisil had written that demand for residential property is unlikely to revive in the next 12-18 months. “Though capital values have been under pressure over the past few quarters, a significant chunk of supply in many micro markets remains unaffordable, “analysts at CRISIL Research had said.
7 August 2017:RBI has decided to cut the repo rate by 0.25% and borrowers especially with home loans will get the benefit of decline in EMIs. This benefit can be felt only when the reset date of loan interest rate comes up. The spread which the banks are allowed to levy over and above the MCLR also impacts the actual interest outgo of borrowers. Despite the reduction in the MCLR borrowers also need to look at other factors when taking a loan such as the reset-period, prepayment conditions, foreclosure and switching to another lender with no penalties. After the 0.25 percent cut in the repo rate by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the cost of funds for the banking system is expected to come down. The home loan borrowers should, therefore, get the advantage of lower EMI's. In a highly expected move, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has cut the repo rate by 0.25 percent in its monetary policy review on August 2, 2017.

Boosting infrastructure is another key area that has been granted key priority, Indian Bank had expressed.

Farmers will now be able to make farm related purchases directly from dealers in cashless mode which will make the transactions easy and risk free. Lateif directed the concerned officers to hold live demonstrations particularly for illiterate farmers and ensure that they are made fully aware of the technical, financial and operational aspects of the card usage. Pertinently, implementation of RuPay KCC has been major initiative pushed by government under the supervision of NABARD and is part of the plan to double farmers` income by 2020
14 November 2017:Indiabulls Ventures is getting into buyer back with a major push on individual personal loan by tapping the current clients of banks. It would subsidize the individuals who are not on the rundown for pre-endorsed credits at moneylenders like HDFC BankBSE - 0.62 % and State Bank of IndiaBSE - 0.86 %, and go out on a limb on its books. Gagan Banga, vice chairman, Indiabulls Housing Finance, told ET, "If banks partner with someone like us, they will get two things -their savings account base will go up and tomorrow they can even potentially buy these loans off us," "Most banks give pre-approved personal loans to over 15 percent of their total customers and the balance go through a typical paper process to avail of any loan. That is a very long process to follow. Considering that they already have a very large (portfolio of) personal loan and credit card outstanding, no risk management principle will allow (them) to grow this loan book at a pace which is faster than their overall balance sheet," he said. With the app, the personal loan can be disbursed in just three minutes. | <urn:uuid:ab192cfe-cb09-4eaa-9c3c-c1f07cdc987a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.iservefinancial.com/ifsc-codes/sbi-bank/punjab/mohali | 2023-09-26T06:50:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.968076 | 3,861 |
If you believe that people who enrolled in ObamaCare will be the only ones to suffer from its implosion, think again.
Betsy McCaughey has researched the situation and writes about the ways in which almost everybody will be affected by the disaster, including those who have health insurance through their employers.
McCaughey writes in today's New York Post:
ObamaCare enrollees aren’t the only people being clobbered. If you get insured at work — as 155 million people do — your deductibles are up a staggering 49 percent since 2011 thanks to ObamaCare. Part-timers are working fewer hours, so business owners can avoid the law’s employer mandate. Taxpayers are on the hook for some 50 new taxes.
Seniors get hit the hardest. More than half of ObamaCare’s costs are paid for by cutting Medicare, resulting in stingy care for seniors.
It's when McCaughey gets more specific that the potential personal disasters become really frightening:
Insured through work? The law forces employers to provide a one-size–fits-all benefits package costing much more than pre-ObamaCare coverage. The law also imposes a slew of new taxes. No surprise, employers are offsetting these costs by raising deductibles and reducing family coverage. In 2017, many companies will eliminate insurance for spouses.
Working part-time? Hundreds of thousands of workers have had their hours cut because ObamaCare requires employers to cover full-time employees, meaning those working 30 hours a week or more. Ironically, colleges, where Democrats outnumber Republicans, are major culprits, slashing hours for adjuncts and student workers to evade providing insurance.
Job-hunting? ObamaCare dampens the job market. In New York, 17 percent of service companies and 21 percent of manufacturers are reducing their workforces to stay below 50 full-time workers and dodge the employer mandate, according to the New York Federal Reserve.
Sixty-five or older? ObamaCare awards bonus points to hospitals that spend the least per senior. Researchers found that at 231 hospitals getting bonuses for low spending, seniors died needlessly because of inadequate care. For example, seniors having heart attacks were forced to wait too long for angioplasties and died before they could get the procedure.
By the way, if you have opted out of buying health insurance, the penalty this year goes up. The average opt-out penalty for an adult is $995 and $500 for a child.
Although ObamaCare hasn't been discussed as frequently as one might have expected in the presidential race, it is clearly a factor for many Americans. Recognizing the problem, Mrs. Clinton's solution is more of the same. She would like to have a single-payer system (fully government-run health care), while Mr. Trump favors repealing and replacing ObamaCare. | <urn:uuid:3cb0693a-ae4b-452a-87f8-372f62beac25> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.iwf.org/2016/11/02/getting-personal-what-the-collapse-of-obamacare-means-for-you/ | 2023-09-26T05:12:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.966979 | 574 |

I’m pleased to pass along the news that my article, “Altered Because of Transgressions? The ‘Law of Deeds’ in Gal 3:19a,” has been accepted for publication in the first 2015 edition of Zeitschrift für die Neutestamentliche Wissenschaft. Following is the article abstract:
Although the textual variants of Gal 3,19a have typically been dismissed as the result of inattentive copyists, one variant appears to be an orthodox corruption aimed at eliminating Marcionite and other demiurgic interpretations as well as an intriguing example of a Latin harmonization influencing P46 and other early Greek witnesses. This variant is thus valuable for its illumination of the doctrinal battles over Paul in this early period and its implications about Latin influence at a very early stage of textual transmission. | <urn:uuid:d8db796d-af22-439f-87af-a3bb71628941> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.jasonstaples.com/bible/article-on-galatians-319a-accepted-to-znw/ | 2023-09-26T05:33:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.923845 | 178 |

The creme de la creme of all home gym dumbbells would be a set of fixed weight dumbells, but if you don’t quite have the budget or the space to store a fixed dumbbell weight set, your next best option could be a pair of the Powerblock dumbbells.
Available 50lb 70lb & 90lb Sets
In this review, we will be looking at their elite range, the most popular and respected series for serious weightlifters made by Powerblock.
The Elite series is available in three different weight capacities: Elite 50, Elite 70, and Elite 90, the end number being the weight range of that particular pair of dumbbells.
All the pairs are primarily built the same apart from the selected weight range. This will let me review the range as a whole rather than individual pairs.
When looking for a pair of adjustable dumbbells, you need to take into consideration weight range, durability, speed of adjustment, and most importantly – does the adjustable dumbbell pair have the natural feel of a fixed weight dumbbell?
I’m happy to report you will not find many better adjustable dumbbells than the Powerblock’s elites.
They’re built to last, have a wide weight range, and even if you opt to buy the lower weight, elite 50’s and grow out of them, there’s the option to buy the expansion packs to turn them into the ’70s and ’90s as seen in the video below.
Powerblock has been producing adjustable dumbbells for the past 25 yrs. They have a wealth of experience in the home gym industry. You can be sure to trust they have researched their products thoroughly to give you the best possible piece of kit for the money.
With adjustable dumbbell pairs such as Bowflex, Stairmaster, and Core-fitness, although excellent adjustable dumbbells, there’s one missing feature holding them back? There is absolutely no way of adding any extra weight to any of the pairs.
They are all limited to around 50lb per dumbbell, which is fine and a substantial amount of weight for a few years when you first start lifting, but you will outgrow them as you get stronger. And then you’re going to have to pay out for the second set of dumbbells for heavy workouts.
What’s great about the Elite set, even if you start with the lower weight of the 50lb set, is that you will never need to worry about outgrowing them, all you do is buy an expansion pack 70lb or 90lb. Expansion packs take as little as 10 seconds to add on and are priced around the $120 mark.
If you are a serious lifter and have the cash available, then the 90lb set would be the recommended set to buy, this will save you a few $’s having to extend the weights with expansion sets later on.
NB, although I said I would only talk about the elite range it’s worth mentioning that Powerblock makes a heavier series:
The U90 stage4, targeted towards the more extreme of weightlifters as you can take this pair right up to 125lb per dumbbell and they also have the option of changing the handle out for a kettlebell feature, which will start to bump up the number of exercises you can do with the dumbbells.
Ease of Adjustment
Faster than the Ironmaster’s Quick-Lock adjustment system but slower than the Bowflex and Core adjustable dumbbell lock and dial systems, the Powerblock Elites sit somewhere in-between when it comes to adjustment times.
Powerblock’s adjustment system works by using a magnetic selector pin, you can use the pin to change the weight stack in 5lb increments, but that’s not all, what makes this pair of dumbbells even more versatile is the 2.5lb cylinder you can place in the handle. This now leaves you with the option of changing the weight load up in 2.5lb increments.
Not all of you will use the 2.5lb added weight feature as I’m sure many would skip that and go up in 5lb. Still, on some isolation exercises, many people will find this extra versatility useful, and in my opinion, having this feature is better than needing and not having.
It’s worth pointing out that changing the cylinder weight does take that extra few seconds, 5-10 at most, as you have to put the cylinder in the handle manually, but you will see just how easy this is in the video.

Built primarily to last, the Powerblock dumbbells reflect this with their 10 yr warranty, which is quite impressive for a set of adjustable dumbbells. Still, as with most of the new sets of adjustable dumbbells, they are made with plastic parts.
If you are used to training with fixed weight hex dumbbells or something similar, be aware you cannot drop or throw around a pair like this because they will break.
It’s never a great idea to stick heavy metal and plastic together, especially with a product that’s going to take some beating and is more than likely to be dropped.
Still, it seems almost unavoidable to the makers of new school adjustable dumbbells like this, apart from the Ironmaster, which is of all-metal construction. However, compared to adjustable sets such as the Bowflex or Corefitness the amount of plastic used in the Powerblocks is minimal.
Will the construction of the Powerblocks affect you’re training? Well, Powerblock’s official stance is they will survive a drop or two from a height but nothing more. They recommend only a 6″ – 12″ drop is ok but to be honest, at this price, I don’t think I would even risk dropping these from any height.
The build is well thought through, and what’s nice to see is a weight range stacking system, it makes the dumbbells compact, and because they don’t have a standard length handle such as the bracket system, the dumbbell only increases in length when extra weight is added.
The stacking system gives the dumbbell as natural a feel as possible, especially on the lower weight range where the dumbbell is at its most compact.
Design-wise the dumbbells do look let’s say not too conventional, the square design of the pair might put a few people off, I know I thought they looked kind of weird when they first came out, thankfully the shape in no way distracts from their functionality, this also makes them a no-roll pair.
I’ve only picked up a friend’s pair of dumbbells and never actually trained with a set, but I had a few curls with the Powerblocks, and there were no issues of them hitting my hips, which can happen with longer length and bulky designs.
You might be wondering what the four iron bars are on each side of the dumbbell? I believe they’re there initially for wrist support as many people have issues with bending their wrists using heavy dumbbells, so Powerblock added the padded bars for support. Secondly, the bars help keep the 2.5lb weights in place.
From the many reviews I’ve read about the dumbbells, they have received very high praise indeed for design and durability with some guys owning them for several years with no breakage or training issues.
Quick and easy magnetic pin adjustment system
Compact well balanced natural feel
Wrist guards with comfortable grip handle
Versatile, adjustable in 2.5 and 5lb increments
Blocky shape takes some time to get used to
Pay extra for the dumbbell stand and it’s quite expensive
ALTERNATIVE TO POWERBLOCK ELITE
Ironmaster Twist Lock 75lb Dumbbells
If you can’t quite make your mind up on the Powerblocks, you might want to consider taking a look at Ironmasters rock-solid set of dumbbells.
The Twist Locks! Ironmasters Twistlocks are a little slower to adjust than the Powerblocks because you have to load the weight plates manually, but what you lose in time you make up for in durability.
These dumbbells are robust; their all-metal construction means you don’t worry about drops so much as there’s no plastic involved in the design.
The Ironmaster dumbbells just the like the Powerblocks offer expansion packs. Ironmaster offers two different weight packs, 120lb and 165lb per dumbbell; that’s some serious poundage!
On the downside, you can forget drop sets with the Ironmasters. They are relatively quick to adjust, but you’re looking at around 20 seconds per dumbbell, compared to a couple of seconds with the Powerblocks.
But if you are looking for lifetime warranties and a rock-solid set, then you can take a closer look at this excellent pair of dumbbells in our full review: Ironmaster 75lb Quick-Lock Dumbbell Review
To Sum Up
Powerblock has produced a pair of dumbbells that prove to be versatile yet durable, the inclusion of weight expansion kits makes this set the right choice for anyone serious about their weightlifting. They certainly are Ironmaster’s nearest competition in the adjustable market.
The well thought out design and the expandable weight range of the Powerblock Elite Dumbbells will be their key selling points. Definitely, worth some serious consideration, I don’t know if they will last a lifetime, but they will prove to be an excellent addition to any home gym. | <urn:uuid:447b1ed0-6422-479a-ab82-9e931a2ff7e2> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.jayshomegym.com/powerblock-dumbbells-review-with-video/ | 2023-09-26T05:57:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.945397 | 2,039 |

Since my last update...
- Arthur and I went to Durango, CO for his parents’ “reunion”. It was snowy and beautiful. The Durango and Silverton railway provided a wonderful unique wedding spot. I love my in-laws so much.
- I attended InVision’s annual onsite event. InVision is a fully remote company with over 800 employees. Once a year, everyone gathers in meatspace. The week started with Apple keynote quality presentations about the state of the business, the product roadmap, and other initiatives. I have never seen such effort put into internal communication. I appreciated the opportunity to spend a week entirely connecting with my colleagues and thinking about the future.
- We joined our San Francisco friends Tristan & Ali in Amsterdam, Nederland for a few days. Arthur & I rode a tandem bike through the tulip fields. I highly recommend the biking through the tulip fields. I do not recommend a tandem bicycle.
- We started working with a designer architect to create a beautiful kitchen—living room space. Arthur wants a bigger stovetop and I want a bigger sink. Unfortunately, this means the entire kitchen has to be redone.
- I went with my friend Vivien to see Michelle Obama on her book tour. Afterwards, in a massive crowd, I somehow ran into another friend Linda and we continued the conversation Michelle started.
- We don’t have many people scheduled to visit us this year, but so far I am happy to have met up with two friends (Jennifer & Joel) passing through Stockholm for conferences.
- I released my third project of 2019, a Fitbit watchface called Pride Ripple. I completed it in under 2 weeks.
- I worked on another Firefox extension in March and April, but haven’t released it publicly yet. It functions as designed, but has not helped me accomplish the problem I tried to solve. I am going to keep iterating on it, but I did not want it to stop me from starting on other projects.
- Arthur had to travel to NYC for work. I work at a remote-only company, so I joined him and worked from the hotel room. It was nice to catch up with so many friends (Nicky, Mitch, Jake, Omar, Joel). My trip got unexpectedly extended when SAS pilots went on strike, so I went to see “Beautiful: The Carole King Musical”. I loved it.
- Lift 4–5× a week: Going well! I passed 160 classes at Barry’s Bootcamp.
- Learn Swedish: I am consistently practicing 15–30 minutes a day. I recently switched from Duolingo to Mondly and Drops.
- Complete 12 side projects in 12 months:
- Read 12 books (and read less news):
- “Becoming” by Michelle Obama
- “Our Revolution” by Bernie Sanders
- “Zucked” by Roger McNamee
- “Utopia for Realists” by Rutger Bregman
- “A Fighting Chance” by Elizabeth Warren
Long term goals
- Ride a ferris wheel in every EU country: Barcelona, Vienna, London, but no progress so far in 2019 😞
- Make a loan to all Kiva countries: 50 of 77 (Join me!)
- Fort Worth, TX for July 4th
- Portland, OR in late September
- Morocco in November for Kathe’s birthday
- Currently reading “An Elegant Puzzle: Systems of Engineering Management” by Will Larson
- I have two more Fitbit watchface ideas and a huge list of side projects I would like to do. Not sure yet what will be next. | <urn:uuid:02704fa9-a332-482e-8ccd-e7bdb0c7457a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.jeremiahlee.com/now/2019-06-04/ | 2023-09-26T06:16:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.954585 | 784 |
As before most chagim in Israel, chesed organizations were busy with sales that enabled thousands of large families to make yom tov without going into debt. Meat, fruit, vegetables, basic household goods, etc., were all offered at cost price. The orders were taken through an automated form on the telephone (many charedi families don’t have smartphones or internet) and the families are told when and where to collect their orders – home deliveries are not available.
This was how Shira and Motti had placed their order and the night arrived when they had to pick it up in the local community center. It always entailed a certain amount of waiting while the order is put together but it is well worth it for the amount of money saved.
But that day Shira was feeling really sick. In fact she was feeling so bad she didn’t even want her husband to leave her on her own to cope with the children as she could barely stand up . But how would they get their order.
During the previous year of corona whole families had to go into quarantine and neighbors had happily done each others’ shopping and left it outside the front door. Shira had done this several times for her neighbors when they needed it so she didn’t feel too bad calling her friend Dina and asking her if she would mind picking up their order and bringing it home.
Of course Dina happily agreed.
But as the time of the sale pick up drew near Dina looked out of the window at the rain pouring down in sheets without any sign of letting up.
They waited a while but eventually there didn’t seem any point in delaying collecting Shira’s order. There was no reason to think that the rain would stop any time in the near future. Her husband Yosef looked down at his shoes – the last pair of dry shoes after a day of unusually heavy rain. Well there was nothing he could do about it.
They stepped out into the puddles and sloshed their way over to the community center and waited in line. They picked up Shira’s order, placed it in their stroller, covered it as best as they could to protect the food from the rain and carefully made their way back to Shira’s home.
As they entered the building Yosef looked down at his totally saturated shoes. “I wonder what I’ll wear to kollel tomorrow – these were my last dry pair. ” But there was nothing to do and they pulled the full stroller carefully step by step up the stairs to Shira’s apartment.
As they were about to ring the bell, Dina noticed a box further along the corridor. She glanced inside and saw a notice ‘Hefker – please help yourselves.’ She opened the box and saw it was filled with men’s shoes. She couldn’t believe her eyes. “Yosef – quick come over here.”
After staring in amazement for a few seconds, Yosef took several pairs out and tried them on. Almost all of them fit him so he chose two sturdy pairs. But still they had difficulty believing their luck. When Shira answered the door and gratefully thanked them for bringing their order they asked if she knew anything about the box.
“Oh yes that’s another box from the Shlomovitzes. They often leave boxes of really good quality clothes for people to help themselves. I guess they must get them from some relative. Take whatever you want.”
Yosef smiled. “Looks like HaKadosh Baruch Hu has decided I won’t be going to kollel in slippers tomorrow after all.” | <urn:uuid:e081c6af-c1ef-44c4-abcd-92b9a53c51fb> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.jewishpress.com/judaism/jewish-columns/lessons-in-emunah/made-to-order/2021/07/04/ | 2023-09-26T06:32:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.98725 | 782 |
Attaching metal hairpin legs to the underside of your piece of furniture can be one of the most important parts of the DIY furniture experience. You will want to make sure they are securely attached to ensure years of happy furniture use. The hairpin legs come with the bracket attached – all as one piece of each hairpin leg. This bracket has pre-made holes in it to accommodate screws for the underside of the furniture.
Perhaps the easiest tabletop or desktop to work with is a wooden surface with metal hairpin legs, we recommend wood screws for the project. If you are not sure what screws to use definitely consult an expert – your local hardware store should be able to recommend what to use. Typically you will want to have wood screws no more than three quarters of the length of your wood surface. If you are comfortable drilling pilot holes, you can also go this route to help prevent cracking the wood when drilling the screws in. Typically pilot holes are about half of the diameter of the screw itself. You may also want to use washers to help distribute the pressure of the screw to the base of the hairpin leg. As long as the head of the screw is wider than the hole in the washer, you should be all set.
The whole process start to finish will entail:
(1) choosing and ordering your hairpin leg of choice, be it the original hairpin leg, the square bar hairpin leg, the modern hairpin leg or one of our many other variations.
(2) Creating your tabletop. This can be a tabletop, bench, chest, or any other furniture you’d like to match with hairpin legs.
(3) Finishing the tabletop, if desired. This can entail any suitable wood finish such as oiling, varnishing, staining, or just unfinished wood if that is your preference.
(4) Attaching the metal legs to the underside of the tabletop with screws to ensure proper attachment.
(5) Place your new DIY furniture in its new home and enjoy it! Congratulations on your new piece of furniture and be sure to send us a picture of your creation! | <urn:uuid:9497c249-86e4-415d-af86-1fc2c4d6b7ec> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.jh-mech.com/news/What's-the-Best-Way-to-Attach-Metal-Hairpin-Legs%3F-84.html | 2023-09-26T05:17:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.939541 | 435 |

Employee Ownership: A Culture of Shared Success
An employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) is an employee benefit plan that offers advantages to owners, the company, and employees. It allows employees to become beneficial owners of the stock in their company and provides unique rewards. Participants in the plan can receive significant retirement benefits at no monetary cost to them.
ESOP companies often have ownership cultures that encourage employees to think and act like owners, and research shows that they are more productive, faster growing, more profitable and have lower turnover.
As an employee-owned company, we experience increased productivity and motivation, and high employee morale, innovation and engagement.
Nearly Four Decades as an ESOP
Jones-Hamilton Co. became an ESOP in 1984 – a decision that has proven to improve employee morale, commitment and dedication. More than 100 employees with an average tenure of 10 years continually focus on furthering innovation, enhancing customer service and developing supplier relations.
Our team leverages first-hand experience and new research to bring insight to a rapidly changing industry. The focus on innovation can be seen in the development of new SBS applications and product acquisitions. The entire Jones-Hamilton Co. team—from our leadership and sales force to our customer service and production teams—work together to maximize current opportunities and investigate new markets.
As an employee-owned company, our employee owners realize that focusing on excellence in daily efforts creates a sustainable business capable of meeting the immediate and long-term needs of customers and employees alike. Our complete focus on serving customers is evident in the 24/7 availability of our customer service and sales teams, and ongoing presence in the field to help customers address costly environmental issues.
With more than 100 employees and an average tenure of 10 years, our employee-owners invest their time and efforts in the success of the company as well as their surrounding communities. Our employees give back through volunteering, charitable giving and engagement in local education groups.

Onsite printing is placing a souvenir or keepsake immediately into the hands of the attendees of the event. Onsite printing works with varying types of photography and can be delivered via printed photo or digital delivery to email, phone, or social media.
It can be as simple as shooting with a natural setting or utilizing green screen to incorporate virtual backgrounds, graphics, and text.
In most cases, a photo can be in the hands of the guest within 30-45 seconds from the time the photo is taken.
Company branding and custom graphics can provide a tailored experience that enhances the photo for both company and guest.
Utilize custom branding to advertise products and provide unique keepsakes that drive traffic. Branding becomes even greater when photos are displayed or placed on social media sites.
Drive traffic with unique, customized keepsakes. Interactive booths draw much greater attention and coupling a digital delivery increases active, genuine contact information.
Provide a real-time, unique souvenir that staff can share and enjoy for years. Onsite printing stations can also be a great time filler between sessions.
Equipment & Layout
Setups can be as simple as a printer and laptop on a cocktail table to as intricate as multiple photo stations with multiple printers. We range from servicing groups of 25 to 6,000.
We base photographer and equipment needs on the number of attendees with the factor of time available to shoot and print.
The samples above showcase the use of of multiple stations at a single event in which thousand of attendees can enjoy the natural flow of entertainment, food, and games. Guests can participate at one or multiple photo ops at their leisure, receiving photos within seconds.
Multiple screens and 4 stations with 16

Balloon Plant Milkweed for Monarchs
Asclepias physocarpa (Gomphocarpus physocarpus) milkweed has several common names like Swan plant, Balloon plant Milkweed, Oscar milkweed, and Family Jewels. There are several other types of milkweeds but this is a somewhat unique milkweed and is one of the more favored host plants of the Monarch butterflies.

What is Asclepias physocarpa?
The terminology for this plant is a little confusing. It is a native milkweed of South Africa and in 2001 its name was changed from Asclepias physocarpa to Gomphocarpus physocarpus to reflect that it is in the family of African milkweeds. Now its true scientific name is Gomphocarpus physocarpus but many people still know it and refer to it as Asclepias physocarpa.
The other source of confusion is that it is very similar in appearance to Asclepias fruticosa (which has also been renamed to Gomphocarpus fruticosus). The difference is that G. fruticosus is a smaller plant than G. physocarpus and the seed pod is shaped a little different. For G. fruticosus, the seed pod is slightly oblong and can resemble a swan which is where the name “Swan plant” came from. G. physocarpus has a seed pod that is more rounded and thus became known as “Balloon plant”. Now the two common names of “swan” and “balloon” plant are interchanged between both species.
This article is focusing on Gomphocarpus physocarpus because this species is more robust and resilient to the hungry Monarch caterpillars than is Gomphocarpus fruticosus.
Why Grow Gomphocarpus physocarpus?
Balloon plant has earned that name for a unique reason. The seed pods of balloon plant are round balls about 2 to 2 1/2 inches in diameter. They are covered with soft bristles, which has also earned them the name of Hairy Balls plant. Most other milkweeds have longer and more slender seed pods.
The flowers of the Balloon plant are pretty and attractive to butterflies but are not showy. It is the seed pods that become the real conversation piece when this tall milkweed is covered in them. They also look great in dried arrangements.
Care of Balloon Plant Milkweed
Since the Balloon plant is native to South Africa, it is only a perennial in USDA Zones 8-10 (some say 9-10). It can be weedy in tropical areas. In the cooler zones it is grown as an annual. It is fast growing but gets large so this is one you may want to start indoors before the last frost or buy an already growing plant. This milkweed will get about 4-6 feet tall and about 3 feet wide.
Balloon plant milkweed likes full sun and will grow in dry to medium moist (prefers medium moist) soil with good drainage. It will also grow well in large containers.
Propagation, Grow Asclepias physocarpa from seed
Balloon plant Milkweed is normally grown from seed. In Southern climates it can be fall-sown but in northern climates it is probably better to start it indoors in the early spring several weeks before the last frost. This milkweed seed does not need to be cold stratified but it is best to store the seeds, dry, in a sealed plastic bag in the refrigerator until ready to sow.
Do not cover the seed when sowing and keep the soil moist and in bright light because light helps greatly with germination. Since it is a milkweed from the tropics, the seed will germinate best in warm temperatures (68-80F). Balloon plant can take a while to germinate so give it between 15-30 days.
Balloon plant seeds can be collected in the fall for replanting in the spring and for sharing with friends, family, or butterfly projects. To collect the seed, let the pod dry and turn rosy-tan colored so the seed can mature. Before it opens, or right as it starts to open, break it the rest of the way and strip the seeds from the white “silks”. The seeds should be brown/black and dry looking. Dry completely before storing.

Gomphocarpus physocarpus is usually listed as one of the most attractive milkweeds to the egg-laying Monarch butterflies. It certainly is a unique milkweed and I hope you will consider planting some for your butterflies! Many butterfly gardeners like to have several types of milkweed. You may want to consider some of these milkweeds as well.

Faith and Roller Coasters
I grew up loving roller coasters. We lived exactly 2 hours from Disney World
in Florida, and back in the 70’s and 80’s, Florida residents could get a rate that would not require taking a second mortgage out on your house to purchase tickets for a family of four. So we went ALL the time. Disney World was my playground. It wasn’t until I was in college and met others from around the globe that I realized that some people – in fact, most people – had never even been to the Magic Kingdom (gasp)!
My brother and I had the layout memorized and took great pride in the fact that we didn’t need a map. The first stop was always Space Mountain in Tomorrowland, which we gleefully ran to upon entering the park, down Main Street, USA and across the little bridge before the heat, humidity, and crowds made running through Disney impossible. I can still feel the relief of the air conditioning as we entered the building, our eyes temporarily blinded as we adjusted to the sudden darkness after the bright sunlight.
Now some people will argue that Space Mountain is not a “real” roller coaster… my husband is one of them. True, there are no big drops and loop-de-loos. I get it. But for a little girl growing up who was relatively shy, it was the time of my life. The moment we got off the ride, we would run right back into the line, repeating this step as many times as possible until the line became too long (and back then, “too long” meant more than 15 minutes). It never got old – the excitement and anticipation of climbing into that Space Ship and plunging into darkness. I was the most alive I felt as a child.
But as an adult, things are different.
Roller coasters don’t thrill me like they once did. It’s not that I get motion sickness (although I have had a rocky rides that resulted in a head-banging headache) and I’m not afraid of heights. It’s the fact that I have no control. Starting the slow climb up the steep hill to the top of the first drop grips my heart with fear. I want to get off but I can’t. I am trapped. I spend most of the ride with my jaw clenched, praying for it to end. What happened to me?
I’ve been pondering on this a lot lately, because, go figure, I married someone who is a self-proclaimed roller coaster addict, and our 6-year-old daughter shares his obsession. She is not tall enough to ride some of the biggest ones with Dad, so while he waits in line for the mega-thrill rides, I am forced to escort her on the not-so-small coasters and she screams “again, again!” (echoes of a girl a long time ago) and I try not to show my fear and she drags me on over and over.
As fate would have it, an article landed in my inbox about how life is a roller coaster – probably one of the most well-known metaphors in the English language – and the author’s advice was simple: remember to breathe, and surrender to the sensation. So I took this quite literally and decided to try it on our last trip to Hershey Park. I focused on my breath as we climbed that dreaded first hill and made an effort to notice the view, which was quite lovely. As we crested and began the inevitable fall, I threw my arms up with my squealing daughter and smiled. I surrendered.
It was amazing.
I don’t think it’s an accident that we often compare life to a roller coaster ride. As a volunteer at the hospital, I am witness to the highest of highs and lowest of lows, sometimes within minutes of each other. I see children survive cancer and flourish, and cry at funerals with impossibly tiny caskets.
I don’t know how many more roller coasters are in my future, but I am going to stop avoiding them. I may not have any control, but I do have something far more precious: FAITH. I will survive the ride. And perhaps, just maybe, I will even enjoy the journey. All I have to do is breath, open my arms to the sky, and surrender. | <urn:uuid:475f376c-dcec-4060-9f2d-d9ce769a4265> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.joytothekids.org/single-post/2016/09/26/faith-and-roller-coasters | 2023-09-26T05:24:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.97487 | 923 |
I focus on beautiful imagery, and she creates flawless events. We like to work together but you can also just hire me to photograph your wedding!
So, you're looking for an award-winning Italian wedding photographer or considering getting married in Italy.
Choosing the best professional wedding photographer in Italy is not a simple decision. I know how many studios and websites there are online; it is undoubtedly an overwhelming and time-consuming task.
If you allow yourself to browse this website, I promise you will:
Firstly, I am British, not Italian, so English is my mother tongue. My wife is Italian, so I am also fluent in Italian. I have been a professional wedding photographer in Italy and abroad since 2003.
As a photographer, Italy is inspirational. I find the colors so romantic and luxurious. When I photograph a breathtaking sunset in Tuscany, I want my image to precisely record that beauty. Later, when viewing that photo, it should bring the memories, sensations, and feelings alive in the most accurate, genuine, authentic way possible.
I am not a fan of images that are pale, hazy, blurry interpretations of reality. If the sky is blue, then it should be blue, not white.
As an Italian destination wedding photographer and bona fide creative, I revel in the light, art, architecture, countryside, and landscapes. I use the olives, cypress trees, white roads, rolling hills, vineyards, and gorgeous sunsets to create works of art that capture your location and the incredible light.
An Italian wedding photographer should use their surroundings; after all, you are having a destination wedding. The photos need to show where you are; otherwise, you may as well stay home!
Imagine you have an elderly relative who is unable to attend your wedding. When you are back home, you will sit with them and share your wedding photos. The images must help them understand exactly where you went, what it was like, and how your day went from start to finish.
Having seen the images, they will then fully understand and appreciate why you went all the way to Italy for your wedding!
I also want to tell the story of your big day with timeless elegance. The photos should not only look great tomorrow but also fifty years from now.
I love working with, talking to, and getting to know my clients very well. I like to communicate through video chat, discuss ideas, and make decisions together. Working together results in a perfect wedding photography experience.
Ultimately, on the day of your wedding, you want a photographer you know and trust, not just a random person with a camera.
Imagine, you select an Italian wedding photographer because you love their stunning images. However, you don't talk to them before the wedding, then on the day, you discover that your personalities clash...
Communication is the key to success, just as much as exceptional is in the details. These are two essential ingredients in my recipe for a picture-perfect Italian wedding.
I like to cover full events from start to finish, and my focus is on quality rather than quantity. Wouldn't you rather have a sensible amount of quality photos rather than thousands of mediocre ones?
You deserve an Italy destination wedding photographer who can capture the story of your wedding day from start to finish.
I cover the locations, the details, the preparations, the ceremony, the reception, dancing and party and everything else in between. Including your portraits, family photos, and, of course, lots of spontaneous moments and emotions. Ideally, each and every image should stand on its own as a work of art.
I know that you chose a beautiful Italian destination wedding because you want lots of quality time with your guests. Instead of crowding your party with close up shots, I will work from a distance to capture candid emotions and real interactions between friends and family in attendance.
Please remember I can only show a fraction of my work on my site. I also photograph your guests but tend to show them less online for privacy reasons.
Italian destination weddings are an excellent choice for couples who want to have quality time with friends and family in a relaxing and romantic setting. Many years of weddings give me a deep understanding of the territories in Italy and their wedding venues.
There are limitless destinations to choose from, like Rome, Florence, Venice, Tuscany, Capri, and Lake Como. Each territory is exclusive in their ways, and I can help you find the best location for your desired look and style of wedding photos.
I am a person who loves to travel, and here are some of my favorite locations to photograph weddings:
Over the years, I have built an extensive network of leading wedding professionals in Italy. In working with the best service providers and putting together a dream team, the results will be outstanding.
Here are just a few ways that I can help you have a stress-free wedding day and help you with the planning process.
Many clients say they are not comfortable being in front of the camera, scratch that… almost all clients say the same thing… "We are not good at having our photos taken!" Consequently, they prefer to not be the center of attention, especially on their wedding day. This is an entirely understandable feeling. You are not used to having your photo taken, so it feels awkward to you.
You don't need to worry about this because I am an expert at making you relax and feel at ease. Before your wedding, we discuss and make decisions together that will help you have an even better celebration and help me get better photos for you. While we are doing this, we are getting to know each other, and so on the day, you will have a photographer you know and not be photographed by a stranger with a camera.
Twice a year, I work with celebrities and models, but the majority of my clients are regular people like you and me. As a professional Italian wedding photographer it's my job to make you relax and create photos where you look great. While you browse this website, you will see how everyone is relaxed and happy. You will see my passion for photography and meeting new people is in the images.
I have worked with hundreds of brides and grooms throughout the years, and each wedding day is unique. From start to finish, I will work with you to understand your ideas and needs, so every portrait will be a work of art that will live on for years to come.
My Italian wedding photography services include professional editing and retouching to make each photograph perfect. I send you the high-resolution images for you to enjoy and share as you wish. Additional details like albums and fine art books are available as well as prints and wall art.
I have attended hundreds of weddings, and you likely have no experience at all. Let me guide you and help you achieve your perfect wedding. I have experience in wedding planning and as an Italy destination wedding photographer and enjoy sharing my knowledge.
My dedication and passion for the art of destination wedding photography often feature in many magazines and countless online publications. You can trust the reviews and testimonials of many happy brides and grooms.
Your wedding will live on forever through the best Italian destination wedding photography. Dazzling images that capture the emotion and joy of your love story in sumptuous Italy.
If you are a bride or groom who demands the most desirable destination wedding photographer in Italy, then we should talk today about your big day!
If you think I could be the best Italian wedding photographer to photograph your event or elopement, then I am sure you have some questions you would like to ask. Get in touch, and I will gladly answer them, listen to your ideas, your plans, and your dreams.
If you let me, I will guide you and help you too. My years of experience as a destination wedding photographer in Italy gives me unique knowledge. Because I also photograph international weddings, I have a wealth of information to provide you with.
I want to send you home with the best photos of your lives. Consequently, I hope you will spread the word about me with great feedback. For more information, you can read my answers to common questions. If you want to see some of my latest work, you can find me on Instagram, or browse the wedding galleries. | <urn:uuid:3759f5ac-7567-41c3-a41d-2752dd0edbb7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.jules-photographer.com/ | 2023-09-26T06:51:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.96175 | 1,699 |

Lately I have been re-doing many of the contact forms on all of my blogs to help improve automation and providing information to me the moment the form is filled out to save time. These automated and comprehensive forms help my sites run more efficiently and automate some of the user contributed content that some of the sites that I run have.
For The Chefs Cookbook for example this site allows guests to submit original recipes and now the Formidable Pro form is updated to allow for separate sections, rich text formatting and will automatically turn the recipe into a post to review and publish.
For my Poetry Blog Wanderer Thoughts Poetry where I encourage guest posts to share their work and link back to their poetry book, websites, blogs…etc I also have a similar type of submit a poem form implemented.
For my GiveawayContests.net blog this site has a submit your own giveaway feature which includes you adding all the event information of an online giveaway or contest and it will publish after I manually validate all of the information is valid first.
These are ways that save time instead of the usual email that comes in which requires a 2-3 email exchange or a doc attachment to read and sort through and makes my life a little easier and allows me to respond to requests a little faster.
DragonBlogger gets too many guest post submissions that vary in quality from very poor to decent, so I don’t allow any auto publication of posts for guest posting on DragonBlogger, but the form will allow a doc file attachment which allows me to review and continue on the next step of approving or requiring the author to edit the post further, or outright reject it if it is very poor quality.
When you run 7 blogs you have to automate as much as possible and it was only a matter of time before I build my Formidable Pro forms to be more feature rich and functional. I also did something like change custom Post Title which required some custom code changes in the form to achieve this as it isn’t a built in function. | <urn:uuid:5a4d7c50-d6cd-4886-b9e0-5feb1353b155> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.justingermino.com/creating-automation-in-wordpress-submission-forms/ | 2023-09-26T05:16:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.938986 | 421 |

I’m a fitness enthusiast and I often go to the gym after getting off work to accomplish my fitness goals. If you're a fitness enthusiast too, you can imagine the feeling - the calories are constantly being burned. Long-term exercise keeps my figure in good shape and makes my apparent look vibrant. Of course, I also have made a plan for my home fitness, nothing is needed but an air track mat.
Air track is thick and bouncy sport mat that is made of PVC. The inner layer of the air track is made of imported high-strength brushed cloth, and the drawing distance is tight. It is bouncier and soft than the ordinary air mat. It is finely crafted by hand, with pure hand-wrapping. The splices are perfectly welded, so it will not easily leak easily when you are using it. Moreover, air track is eco-friendly, non-toxic, and won’t do harm to skins, thus, both kids and the elder people can use it without worries.
Use an air track to practice yoga at home
In recent years, yoga has become a very popular sport. Many persons will lose weight by keeping learning yoga. In addition, learning yoga can also help me cultivate my body and relieve bad emotions. Thus, I almost practice yoga to relax my muscles after working for a long time.
Different sizes of air tracks
Like the picture shows, the size of air track is 0.3×0×0.1m. I often choose the most proper one according to the place when I want to place it.
Pick an air track for home fitness
Air track is a good choice for you to make a fitness plan. I bought my own air track form Kameymall. This air track is very easy and handy to use, my kid can also use it to play games outdoors!

2020 was a year of change and uncertainty that nobody could have predicted. COVID-19 changed the way we live our daily lives and disrupted our usual routines. After a year of seismic change, Christmas was no different as an extraordinary year came to a close.
We know that one impact of this disruption was shoppers in Ireland started Christmas shopping earlier – 61% of respondents to a Worldpanel Plus survey in November said they started buying presents and gifts earlier than usual due to the pandemic. And in comparison to Christmases gone by, this year was a lot less sociable. 84% of people in Ireland said that they would be seeing less of family and friends than in previous years. As a result, most of us expected to take a more toned-down approach to celebrations than in previous years with only one in four preparing for an extravagant Christmas. How did this impact shoppers’ choices and behaviour during the all-important Christmas period?
1. Record grocery sales for Ireland
Pared back festivities didn’t stop Irish families from looking for ways to keep spirits high. Even though there was a temporary easing of restrictions on eating and drinking out in December, most still turned to the supermarkets to provide some sorely needed festive cheer. Travel restrictions meant a lot of people couldn’t get home to spend Christmas with their nearest and dearest, and spend in the Capital grew most strongly compared to the rest of the year.
And with a lot more time being spent at home than ever before, shoppers had more opportunity to plan for Christmas. Saturday 19 December saw over €60m in sales made in the supermarkets as shoppers stocked up. Conscientiousness around the government guidelines, which advised people to reduce their time spent out of home and avoid mass gatherings, played a role here – encouraging some to get the Christmas shop in early to avoid the last-minute rush. However, Wednesday 23 December was the biggest day for grocery trading – the same as 2015, when Christmas also fell on a Friday.
2. The unstoppable rise of online
2020 was most certainly the year of online grocery. During the month of December, a record breaking 11% of Irish households shopped online, and sales over the internet accounted for 4.1% of grocery spend, in comparison to 2.8% in 2019. With shoppers looking to reduce their time spent out of home – especially the more vulnerable groups in society – the appeal of online shopping was clear, and online took €10.5m worth of sales from bricks and mortar during December. As more shoppers continue to make the move online, we expect digital sales to go from strength to strength in the year ahead.
3. Festive plans meet reality
For most people, how they expected to spend Christmas differed hugely from reality. A lot of us had planned to see relatives or friends for Christmas or have large gatherings on the day itself. This year, however, more people had Christmas dinner at home and did not visit family or friends like they would usually. As a result, an additional 182,000 households had their Christmas dinner at home versus last year.
As for the wider festive period, restrictions placed on the country after St Stephen’s day meant that many people were unable to host their typical celebrations, which resulted in retailers missing out on potential spend. For those who did host guests at Christmas, hygiene was a primary concern, and December saw liquid soap once again becoming the fastest growing retail category, having been outpaced by alcohol since April.
4. Trading up for Christmas
After a difficult and disrupted year, consumers put an emphasis on Christmas dinner – demonstrating that it remains the most important part of the day for many. 55% of people wanted to make their Christmas Day Meal more special than before, and we saw those who were hosting on the day spent €180 more on groceries compared with an average month and increased their spending by almost double that of guests.
Overall, sales on promotion across key categories declined, with shoppers choosing premium lines over the festive period. Similarly, home luxuries played a big part of Christmas; shoppers traded up, spending more on alcohol and treats and cutting back on categories typical for bigger gatherings – cooked meats, chilled prepared fish and fruit and veg.
5. Smaller get-togethers
With COVID-19 restrictions limiting households mixing on the big day, more of us cooked Christmas dinner than ever before. This had knock-on impacts on categories like meat and produce and – of course – alcohol.Dinner meats, produce and trimmings, niceties and alcohol all attracted new shoppers this Christmas.
These smaller gatherings resulted in whole turkeys falling out of favour, with shoppers opting for smaller cuts of meat – an additional 55,000 households bought turkey roll or roasts this Christmas. And while €1.2m less was spent on whole turkey, 21,000 more shoppers bought beef roasting joints.
Another impact of pandemic restrictions is that shoppers looked for ways to recreate out of home experiences at home. We saw more shoppers bought take-home alcohol, while existing alcohol shoppers broadened their repertoires this year. Shoppers also switched from ‘standard’ drinks, opting instead for wine and spirits.
COVID-19’s influence on our lives and behaviour over the course of 2020 made for an extraordinary Christmas. Growth in the grocery sector will stabilise in time; however, the scale and timing depends on so many unknowns: vaccine rollouts, recessionary impact, post-pandemic working from home, restriction changes, and which behavioural trends stick. Monitoring consumer behaviour closely will be paramount as we emerge from the pandemic. | <urn:uuid:b1185cc3-61d4-441c-8069-95330fc1e0b3> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.kantar.com/uki/inspiration/fmcg/5-learnings-from-an-irish-christmas-in-lockdown | 2023-09-26T06:26:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.972433 | 1,148 |

Kashmir is a paradise with one of the most enchanting and beautiful natural locales you can find anywhere in the world. For millennia it has attracted people from the North, West, South, and East. The result is that the region has evolved a distinctive culture, a blend of Central Asia, Buddhist, Hindu, and Sikh traditions. Kashmiri is the language and the State has evolved music, dance styles, and cuisines unique and identifiable. Though the state of Jammu and Kashmir is considered one, three separate cultures prevail; one in the Kashmir valley known as Kashmiri culture; another predominantly Sikh and Hindu in Jammu, and Buddhist overtones in the Ladakh region.
Kashmiris today are descendants of Turks, Afghans, Iran, and Central Asia and as such have their culture infused with the original culture of these places. Generally, Kashmiris are light-skinned and have eye colors ranging from brown to grey to blue and black. There are Hindus and Muslims, each following time-honored cultures and traditions, reflected in lifestyles, music, food, dress, and art. The Pandits are Kashmiri Hindus and lead a simple lifestyle. They are generous and warm-hearted. Muslims are divided into Sunnis and Shias, both co-existing amicably. The Gujjars are the hill tribes of Kashmir, variously believed to have settled here either from Rajasthan or from Georgia in Central Asia. Another ethnic group is the Hanjin who mostly are to be found on the rivers and lakes of Kashmir. The Bakarwals, like the Gujjars, are nomadic and herd cattle. Then you have the Dards to be found only in the valley of Gurez.
Most Kashmiris, even Hindus, are non-vegetarian with rice and lamb featuring significantly in their diet. Lotus stalks, turnips, and Karam Sag are the favorite vegetables, and the kahva, a brew of green tea enriched with spices is the popular beverage. Another variety of tea is made with Tea leaves and milk with salt added for taste. The cuisine here has distinctive overtones of Persian, North Indian, and Central Asian cuisines with a local touch. Mutton is the mainstay, prepared in over 30 different ways using oils, spices, and yogurt with plenty of tomatoes, garlic, and onions. Vegetarian dishes of Kashmir use Paneer, potatoes, lotus stem, kidney beans, and spinach. The popular vegetarian dishes are Dama Olav made with potatoes, Choek Vangan made of spinach, Nadeir Yakhean with lotus stems, Veth Tsaman, and Ladyar Tsaman with paneer.
Everyone knows about Kashmiri non-vegetarian dishes Chamani Qaliyan, Gushtaba, Roghan Josh, Kashmiri Yakhni, Aab Gosht, and Matshgand, involving the use of dry fruits, ghee, and spices. When it comes to sweet dishes and delicacies, Kashmiris use plenty of dry fruits and nuts. Popular sweet desserts are Phirni, Sevaiyan, Shakar Pareh, Panjeeri, and Shufta. What others call feast or davit, the Kashmiri term as Wazwan is a spread of exquisite dishes prepared by a master chef. A typical menu would include Korma of mutton, Sheekh Kabab, lamb cooked in oil, milk, and curds known as Gushtaba, and Fish kababs.
The Pheran is a typical Kashmiri dress, different in styles as worn by Hindu and Muslim women. It is a loose gown that comes down to below the knees. The pheran of a Muslim woman is more elaborately embroidered and knee-length whereas that of a Hindu woman reaches to her ankles and the sleeves have brocade embellishments. Churidar, Pyjama, shalwar Kameez, skull caps, and Tauranga are the other items of apparel in this region.
This is unique to Kashmir and sets it apart from the rest of India. The Kangri is an open clay pot set in a willow basket with a carrying handle. The purpose is to fill the clay pot with hot coal and use it to keep oneself warm in the bitter winter chill.
Folk Dances and Music
It is only to be expected that a fusion of diverse cultures would give rise to a variety of colorful and energetic folk dances and music. Kashmir does have a few unique to the region. The Chakri is most popular, making use of Rabab, Sarangi, and Garaha in the olden days but now relies mainly on the harmonium. The Bhand Pather is folk art and theatre, lampooning social traditions, usually performed by over 10 artists to the accompaniment of song and dance. The mystic Sufis too left an indelible mark on Kashmir and Sufi music is popular in the region, using the Santoor, Saz, Tabla, and Sitar to accompany a group of qawwals and, in some cases, a dancer. Men of the Wattal area perform the Dumhal folk dance whereas the women perform Rouff. The dancers wear long colorful robes and headgear and perform to music and songs.
Arts and Crafts
When you think of Kashmir you think of Pashmina Shawls made from the finest wool in a typical style said to have been brought here from Persia. The fineness is due to the use of hair of the Ibex, a mountain goat found at high altitudes, used in making this expensive apparel. Pure Pashmina is difficult to find since these days it is a blend of rabbit and common lamb wool. The hand-knotted carpets also trace their origins to Persia but are unique in the style that evolved here. Silk and wool are used to make richly colored, intricately designed carpets. The word crewel also brings to mind the fantastically embroidered fabrics from Kashmir. Artists use pointed hook and chain stitch threads into solid patterns that give depth and richness to the final fabric, usually furnishings. The effect is beautiful.
You will also find Namdas or felted mattresses made of a mixture of wool and cotton, additionally embroidered with wool or acrylic threads. Furniture and carvings are also a specialty of Kashmir, with walnut wood used to create some of the finest carvings and objects of art. Papier mache is another art form redefined by Kashmiris. What distinguishes papier-mache products of Kashmir is that they all carry elaborate and intricate paintings on them, adding immensely to looks and value.
To know Kashmir culture, you have to live there and experience it in its myriad forms. | <urn:uuid:f96518fa-1c3c-4a04-8446-5401b03cd27b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.kashmirtourpackage.org/culture-of-kashmir.html | 2023-09-26T05:46:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00498.warc.gz | en | 0.944348 | 1,409 |
