After WWII why did the economy prosper and what role did consumerism play in the 1950s?After WWII many economists predicted a recession in the American economy. It is easy to do so when at the peak of post war unemployment in March 1946 2. 7 million searched for work. In 1945 people were laid off from their jobs. However, in 1945 the US entered one of its longest, steadiest, periods of growth and prosperity (Norton 829). How could this be? With many new developments affecting the United States social and economic behavior, the wealth of the nation burgeoned.
It is the extreme wealth of this society which supports and creates consumerism, the Americans increased appetite for goods and services (Norton 832). The automobile, television and rising personal income contributed to enhanced consumerism. The American economy in the 1950s is simply defined by increased output and increased demand. The primary economist of the 1950s was John Kenneth Galbraith. According to Galbraiths The Affluent Society, the economys production proliferation in the 1950s created consumerism, forming a beneficial relationship that would serve each others needs.
Galbraith states that the drive for economic security motivated corporations to increase production. Men seek to extinguish insecurity and establish economic security. Economic insecurity is only natural in a competitive society. A corporation can experience a vicissitude of fortunes.
There are uncontrollable risks that accompany business. That is why, the elimination of economic insecurity was pioneered by the business firm . . . From the very beginning of modern capitalist society, business men have addressed themselves to the elimination or the mitigation of this source of insecurity.
Having complete control over prices and supply gave firms absolute security (Galbraith 97). Businesses need a high level of economic security in order to sustain maximum production (Galbraith 111). So the increase in the production was not to create more goods, although that resulted, but to secure more economic stability. The goods are secondary compared to the their assured production means assured income for those who produce them (Galbraith 114). This typical attitude towards production changes in the 1950s.
Galbraiths five ways in which production can be increased pertains to the 1950s economy. His first method is to employ labor and capital more (Galbraith 119-120). In the 1950s industries started to invest more capital. In 1950 1.
1 billion dollars of capital was invested by industries compared to 1. 86 billion dollars in 1959 (Pate 669). Secondly, Galbraith mentions that labor and capital should be used in the most advantageous combination, one with the other, and the two can be distributed to the greatest advantage, consumer tastes considered, between the production of various things and the rendering of various services (Galbraith 120). The conglomerate mergers that took place in the 1950s exemplified this suggestion. A conglomerate joined companies in differing industries to combat instability in a particular market (Norton 831).
The business corporation became an important part of the functioning of American life. Conglomerate firms represented the most prominent form of diversification. From 1948-55 10. 1% mergers were pure conglomerate. During 1956-63 the percentage of mergers that was pure conglomerate was 17. 7 percent.
Some of the biggest conglomerates of the 1950s were Litton Industries, ITT (International Telephone and Telegraph Corporation) and Beatrice and Thompson-RamoWooldrige (TRW) (French 137). His third proposal was to increase the supply of labor. More job opportunities after WWII arose. In fact the growing white-collar employment made employment and incomes more stable . .
. (French 189). Also character of the 1950s was the increase in the number of women that were working (French 185). His fourth method was to increase supply of capital. Lastly, the state of the arts can be improved by technological innovation (Galbraith 120).
Since technological advancements fuel greater production, it is in the companys best interest to invest in this area. That is why more capital was appropriated for technological research especially in the oil, metallurgy, automobiles, chemicals, rubber, and heavy engineering industries (Galbraith 121). The government clearly aided technological advancement throughout WWII. Overall, the 1950s was an era of increased production.
This idea is supported by the rise in the Gross National Product. Starting in 1950 GNP was 284. 8 billion dollars.

Bringing Bach Back
The world-renowned Oregon Bach Festival has presented the masterworks of J.S. Bach, and composers inspired by his work, to audiences for nearly five decades. The festival is known for including internationally renowned guest artists such as Yo-Yo Ma, Midori, Pink Martini and Joshua Bell, and offers educational opportunities, children and family programing, and community events.
The retirement of the long-time music director, a “graying audience” and introduction of a new music director brought a time of transition for OBF. Asbury & Co.’s solution was a campaign to inspire and make the festival more accessible for people of all musical interests – from street performers to student musicians to polished professionals to first-time attendees. The campaign was fresh and people focused, with a bit of whimsy to engage. | <urn:uuid:edc2c676-720b-4255-a3b9-ec7ac93790c1> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://asbury.net/oregon-back-festival/ | 2023-09-27T12:48:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.968559 | 176 |
Golf Course Architecture takes a deep dive into the unique style of “geometric design” that led to creation of some of the most iconic courses from architects such as Macdonald, Raynor and Park…and renovated today by ASGCA members, including John Colligan, Dana Fry, Steve Smyers and Andy Staples.
“When you play it, your eyes find it visually appealing,” says Fry of his Raynor-inspired design at Arcadia Bluffs. “The multitude of shots you can hit into the greens because of the internal contours becomes the test for all golfers. Try to run it up, fly it to the pin or let it feed off a big internal slope in the green to get it close to the hole. Raynor had a way of taking natural ground contours and then building features that were not only visually beautiful but also fit the land exceptionally well.”
Texas-based architect John Colligan has built or renovated a number of courses using geometric features. He says: “Based on historical information and aerial photographs, these green shapes were the norm back in the day. In the case of the Mustang course in Amarillo, we were creating a links-like design at this 36-hole facility that would be a contrast to the more modern parkland-style existing 18-hole course. I think people enjoy these shapes, on our courses at least, because they are not as common in the south and south-west of the US as they are in the north-east, where many greens have not lost their original character through renovations. Old is the new New.”
“I find this form of architecture very appealing, but only in the right circumstances and settings,” says Steve Smyers, another designer who has used geometric design extensively. “The key is to get the features to fit and to conform with the space and highlight a uniqueness in the surrounding landscape and to develop strategy. I always felt that Macdonald, Raynor, and William Langford used the concept to highlight targets, landing areas and putting surfaces. Most of their projects were on beautiful rolling parcels of land, and the geometric shapes which they created contrasted with the rolling topography.

This Fort Monroe maternity session is SO exciting for me. Ashley & Jeremy are a couple from 2018 who I instantly bonded with during their wedding planning process. We met frequently at Fort Monroe breweries to chat details and make plans. She even surprised me with a birthday present that year… which was totally unexpected. Ashley has been a huge advocate for me and my business since she was a bride. I get so many people in my inbox who say Ashley sent them! I love that so much!
Over the weekend we met up at Fort Monroe for their MATERNITY SESSION! What?!? They’re having a little girl in March! I cannot wait to see these two become parents and for Brenda to become a grandma!

The committee is made up of 11–13 members, including the Commissioner and four representatives from each conference who are selected by their respective teams. Decisions made by league-appointed referees on the field during games also affected the rules of the game.
How can I become a player in the NFL?
In order to become a player in the NFL, a team must draft you. The NFL Draft is an annual event in which teams select eligible players from a pool of college football players. To be eligible for the draft, players must be at least three years out of high school.
Players can also enter the NFL through undrafted free agency. After the NFL Draft, teams can sign undrafted free agents, who are players that were not selected in the draft. In order to be signed as an undrafted free agent, players try out for teams during rookie minicamps.
The path to becoming an NFL player is difficult, but it is possible with hard work and dedication.
What are the benefits of playing in the NFL?
The benefits of playing in the NFL are many and varied. For one, the financial rewards are significant. The average salary for an NFL player is over $2 million per year, with the top players earning much more. Besides their salaries, NFL players also receive a generous benefits package that includes health insurance and retirement savings plans.
But money is not the only reason to play in the NFL. For many players, the chance to compete at the highest level of professional football is a powerful motivator. The competition in the NFL is intense, and every week presents a new challenge. Players who thrive in this environment relish the opportunity to test themselves against the best in the world.
Another key benefit of playing in the NFL is the platform it provides. NFL players are some of the most recognizable athletes in the world, and they have a unique opportunity to use their platform to make a difference. Many players are active in charitable causes, using their fame and influence to support causes they care about.
So while the financial rewards of playing in the NFL are certainly significant, they are far from being the only reason players choose to compete at this level.
Are there any risks associated with playing in the NFL?
There are certain risks associated with playing in the NFL. The physicality of the sport can lead to serious injuries, and there is also the risk of concussions and other head injuries. However, many players feel that the benefits of playing in the NFL outweigh the risks.
How much would it cost to buy the NFL?
In recent years, the NFL has been valued at around $63 billion. That means if you had the cash on hand, it would cost you just over $63 billion to purchase the NFL outright. Of course, that’s not counting the debt that comes along with running a professional sports league. The NFL is a huge business and there are a lot of moving parts, so buying the league would be a complicated undertaking. But if you had the money, it could be yours for the taking.
How big is the NFL?
The National Football League (NFL) is the largest professional American football league. It is made up of 32 teams, divided equally between the National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC). The NFL is the highest level of professional football in the United States. The regular season runs from September to December, with each team playing 16 games. The NFL playoffs begin in January, culminating in the Super Bowl, which is held in February.
Who is the richest owner in the NFL?
The richest owner in the NFL is Jerry Jones, who is worth an estimated $8.6 billion. Jones owns the Dallas Cowboys, which are the most valuable franchise in the NFL. The Cowboys are worth an estimated $4.8 billion.
Who is the only black NFL owner?
The answer to this question is not as straightforward as it may seem. There are, in fact, a few different people who could lay claim to being the only black NFL owner.
The first is Art Modell, former owner of the Cleveland Browns. While Modell is not technically African American, he is of Jewish descent and was born in Brooklyn, New York. Modell’s father was an immigrant from Austria-Hungary.
The second person who could be considered the only black NFL owner is Michael Jordan, who became the majority owner of the Charlotte Panthers in 2018. However, Jordan is not technically African American either; he is Biracial, with a White father and Black mother.
So, who is the only black NFL owner? Technically, it is difficult to say. However, if we are looking at owners who are of African descent, then the answer is most likely Art Modell or Michael Jordan.
How much was the last NFL team sold for?
The last NFL team to be sold was the Buffalo Bills, which were purchased by Terry and Kim Pegula for $1.4 billion in 2014. This made them the most expensive sports franchise in North America.
What percent of NFL is black?
A recent study has found that the National Football League (NFL) is made up of 70 percent black players. This is a significant increase from the league’s founding in 1920 when African Americans were banned from playing. The study also found that most NFL head coaches are white and that black players are more likely to be relegated to backup roles. While the NFL has made some strides in promoting diversity, there is still room for improvement.
The NFL is America’s most popular sport for a reason. It’s exciting, intense, and always unpredictable. Whether you’re a diehard fan or just someone who enjoys watching from time to time, there’s no denying that the NFL is a great way to spend your Sunday afternoon.

PERFECTION asks: Right now I have this never ending urge, to let this girl I love feel I truly love her, to let her know I am here for her. Sometimes I think am I pushing things too fast. But I can’t stop my feelings from growing and showing my love to her. Is it normal to feel that way? And would it be a good idea if I were to tell her today or someday that “I love her,” or should I just let my actions speak for themselves?
Hi PERFECTION –
This is one of those issues where we dogs just have to roll our eyes a bit, and remember that we love you humans. Because we just don’t get it! We jump on people and dogs we’ve just met and shower them with love, and let them know that we’re crazy about them – at least for that second – and don’t know how to be any other way.
And we always like being told that we’re loved too! Even dogs who’ve been abused, and can’t have people run up and hug them, love getting that love in milder ways (like kind words or treats!).
But you guys are different. Humans can get scared from someone saying they love you, and feel pressured or misunderstood. So your question is legitimate and smart. And very hard to answer.
Because the answer is all about HER. Just as I love getting hugs at first sight, and my friend Aria screams in terror if someone tries that, I don’t know what this wonderful lady tolerates or hopes for.
So I think your job is to find out more about her. Have you ever asked her what her favorite movies are, or books? Maybe there’s an answer in there. What about songs? Some humans are attracted to bold expressions of passion, and others want to be approached gently.
And of course I don’t know exactly how she feels about you – though from what you’ve told me, she has sure stayed in contact with you a lot, which is a very good sign!
And if that keeps up, at some point, you’re just going to have to tell her. And find out, from that, how she’ll react to it. Does she exclaim “What took you so long?! I’ve been waiting to hear those words from you forever!” Or does she nervously step back, with fear in her eyes? Or does she haughtily state “How dare you, you little fleabag, think you have the right to love me?!”
Well, if it’s the latter, then forget her, she’s not worthy of you!
But the first two? Either is possible.
So, when the time comes, you’re going to have to do the hardest thing I could possibly suggest. To let her know without worrying about the result.
When you write me a question, do you hesitate, thinking “I don’t know what mood Shirelle’s in. Maybe she can’t get to it for a few days. Maybe she has to get a flea bath.” Probably not, right? No, you just put it out there and see what my response is, whenever it comes.
Well, as much as possible, that’s what I want you to do with her. Because that’s the way you’re going to be able to really focus on what matters, which is letting her know. Regardless of how she reacts, regardless of whether she wants to hear it, to just let her know because you need her to know. For your own sake.
Then how she reacts will be just… up to her. As it should be. And at that point you should TOTALLY pay attention, and respect her feelings – good or bad.
But in the meantime, while you try to learn more about her, which will tell you how to go about telling her (in the way she’d most like), I have three assignments for you. Three songs that Handsome says you should listen to. All of them just wonderful.
First, “A Lover’s Question,” by Clyde McPhatter. That’s where you are now. Wondering how she feels, and how to find out.
Second, “If I Keep My Heart Out of Sight,” by James Taylor. That’s where you need to go next – learning about her, figuring out what best to do, while playing it cool (as we dogs NEVER do) and giving her time.
And third, “Make You Feel My Love,” by Bob Dylan (though it’s been recorded by tons of other people as well). That’s what I want you to really focus on, eventually. That your goal is to make her, or let her, feel your love, in the best, most empowering way possible. “I could make you happy, make your dreams come true,” he sings. Isn’t that what you want her to hear, and feel?
Honestly, I can’t imagine she’ll be all that surprised, given how attentive you’ve been to her for all this time. But I do want her to feel loved in the way she most needs. And I sure hope she returns it with the love that you need, and SOOOOO deserve!
ALL my best wishes on this! | <urn:uuid:b4809168-a807-47f5-8761-66e2651fa512> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://askshirelle.com/2018/11/30/perfection-asks-right-now-never-ending-urge-let-girl-love-feel-truly-love-let-know-sometimes-think-pushing-things-fast-can/ | 2023-09-27T11:46:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.969018 | 1,171 |
Harry asks: There is a girl in my class. At the start of the semester I had a crush on her but I didn’t want a relationship then, so I let it go. Now she is seeing my friend. When I see them together, something happens in my heart. Nowadays I keep thinking about her… So what should I do??
Hi Harry –
Well, I have two bits of good news, and one bit of bad. Though you already know the bad – you missed a chance to tell her how you felt back then, and she moved on.
But then those good news pieces: First, you have grown in these months, and now realize you’d like a relationship. I guess that realization always comes with pain, because the only way to know you feel it is to be aware of the lack of it. Have you ever heard that old song about the fun but painful moment you suddenly “hate yourself for being single?!”
And second, of all people in the world, she’s seeing your friend.
Well that leads to two new bits of good news. First, her being with him gives you lots of opportunities to get to know her better. And for her to get to know you better. Maybe all your best qualities, which you make a point of showing when the three of you are together!
And second – relationships in school usually don’t last terribly long. Maybe he and she’ll be together for a few months. But they’ll change, they’ll get sick of each other, one of them will do something the other can’t stand… and you’ll be right there, ready to help!
So I’m not telling you you’re wrong to be frustrated and disappointed in not having talked to her before. But think of this pain as being like when you were born. It was extremely uncomfortable to go through that birth canal (or to be pulled out if your birth was a Caesarian). But every great experience you’ve ever had – including looking at this beautiful girl – required you having gone through that.
You’ve just had another birth, into a new stage of life. And yeah it hurts. But wow, look at the possibilities that lie ahead!!
Best of Luck! | <urn:uuid:3a2a21c6-2792-4491-91fa-084cfba73849> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://askshirelle.com/2019/01/21/harry-asks-girl-class-start-semester-crush-didnt-want-relationship-let-go-now-seeing-friend-see-togethe/ | 2023-09-27T12:20:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.976161 | 487 |

methodology section, state the sample population and the tests you
plan to use along with the assumptions, e.g., what do these tests
purport to measure. Don’t forget to provide at least two hypotheses.
In addition, discuss in detail your sample, procedures you plan to use,
and provide your questionnaire and focus group questions as
appendices at the end of your paper. Based upon what you learned in
the last few modules, your questionnaires should have improved.
Do NOT survey anyone for this assignment, but provide a summary of
the expected outcomes and implications, e.g., individuals surveyed,
your organization, and or society overall.
In your conclusion, provide no more than 3-4 sentences on how you
believe your Marketing Research Report can be used in your future.
Again, this assignment is not to make you a statistician, which is why I
am not asking you for major calculations or to survey a sample
population. Nevertheless, if you do this assignment with enthusiasm,
you have a blueprint to build on for years to come.
Writing guidelines for your paper:
10 pages (not including title page and references page)
Double-spaced with 1-inch margins and typed in 12-point
Times New Roman.
Proofread for spelling and grammar mistakes.
Cite all texts used, including page numbers to avoid plagiarism.
Incorporate a thesis statement and conclusion that are both
supported by research and analysis. Sources are provided. Please use a minimum of 5 sources from what I provided, other academic references after to get to a total of 9 sources.
Use sources from case assignment attached &

Back in March, I wrote about a situation that had me in a state of what my husband, Steve, calls “being all feffered up.” If you are not familiar with the term, think of feathers that are so ruffled that they stand out in a perpendicular position to one’s body. What was the reason? A woman by the name of Sarah Jane Cavanaugh fabricated an elaborate scheme to bilk hundreds of thousands of dollars out of various organizations in order to receive “support” for the fact that she was now “being treated for cancer” that was the result of her having “served in the Middle East.” Problem is, she never served. ANYWHERE. That’s bad enough, but when someone additionally and falsely claims that they have been “sexually assaulted by a superior officer,” I am inappropriately inspired to say, “Hold my beer,” and I don’t like beer at all.
I am happy to report that Miss Cavanaugh has been put in a position that might serve to begin to undo some of the damage she inflicted on more than a few folks. She reached a plea agreement, and here are some of the components of her day of reckoning.
U.S. Attorney Zachary Cunha mentioned in a statement that Miss Cavanaugh has signed an agreement in which she admitted to fraudulent use of medals (with an illegally obtained Purple Heart as she impersonated being a wounded warrior), aggravated identity theft (she fabricated an elaborate cover story), along with forgery, and wire fraud. She received more than $250,000 that had been earmarked to help true wounded warriors with everything from housing to art therapy to cancer treatment. She could have faced more than 20 years in prison if she had been tried in court, and wisely chose to plea out. It was recommended that she receive a sentence that is on the low end of the guidelines, and to me, it is possible that that decision was made to make it possible to actually earn money to begin to pay it back. The agreement is that she will pay $82,000 in restitution.
In many courts there is a tradition, if you will, of having a statement made by the guilty as part of the sentencing phase. This occurs often by the reading of a prepared piece that elucidates their sorrow and contrition for what they did. I don’t know if it is something that can be required, but I for one would have thought that a public expression of some kind of regret would have been in order. And, while I am grateful that at least a measure of what has been stolen will be returned over time, I am “feffered” once again by the statement that was issued by Miss Cavanaugh’s attorney. Mr. Kensley Barrett said on Tuesday something to the effect that while he appreciates the interest that the case has garnered, he has no comment at this time. Newsflash, Mr. B. I don’t want to hear from you. I want to hear from Sarah Jane, and it looks like the wait just might be a long one.

In the fall of 1970, the Jesus People Movement hit hard at my high school. I have told many times about how one day stoners were getting stoned in plain sight up on the hill behind my school, and the next day they were witnessing to anyone and everyone. It swept through the halls of Chief Sealth High School in Seattle, and it was the change I saw in a childhood friend that caused me to surrender to my Savior all by myself in my bed on the night of Tuesday, December 8, 1970.
It was a wild, messy, “the good, the bad, and the ugly” kind of time, and I would go through it again in a heartbeat. And, I am pleased to announce that Alabama’s own Erwin brothers, who produced (amongst others) the marvelous film, I Can Only Imagine, have created a movie that absolutely nails what it was like to be a part of The Jesus Revolution. In fact, that is the name of the film that premiered last week.
The Jesus Revolution is taken from the same title of the iconic front-page cover of Time Magazine from June of 1971, and weaves the story of a rebellious teen, Greg Laurie; a “Jesus freak” by the name of Lonnie Frisbee; and a struggling pastor by the name of Chuck Smith. They met, or perhaps it would be better to say they collided, and they all went on to turn each other upside down. And, they joined forces to “turn the world upside down for Christ.”
Many church historians believe that the Jesus People Movement was the most significant revival in American history, and having lived through it, I would say that was true. And, I understand that people who never got trapped in drugs, rebellion, sex, or the other things that threatened to take out a significant part of our population, as well as break up the fabric of, well, everything from the church to the family to the nation, may not understand just what a big deal this was. Now is your chance to get an idea through a cinematic offering that is accurate, beautiful, and in a way, elegant. It also has plenty of gospel, and if you have never surrendered, or you need to again, you can do so all by yourself in the movie theatre. That is what the producers are hoping will happen.
Multiple Emmy Award-winning actor Kelsey Grammer, of Cheers and Frasier fame plays the part of Chuck Smith, who had what could only be described as a nearly-dead church. Jonathan Rhoumie, who plays the part of Jesus in the hit series, The Chosen, plays the part of Lonnie Frisbee, the man who lived on the streets of Haight Ashbury, San Francisco before becoming a Christian and literally invading Chuck’s life. Greg Laurie is played by Joel Courtney, who was the star of Steven Spielberg’s Super 8, and Greg went on to become a pastor himself. He still ministers through Harvest Ministries, and has worked for years to bring this story to book and film.
The Jesus Revolution is something you can take your teenagers to without worrying about the immorality of the times sullying them. It is something you can go on a date, see, and enjoy. It is something you can go see to reminisce, which is what I did in part. But best of all, it is something to which you can go, see, and surrender.

Our health is our most incredible wealth. When it comes to preserving our overall well-being, regular screenings for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are critical. For residents of Marietta, Georgia, the journey toward health awareness starts right at their doorstep. This blog offers an in-depth guide to STD testing in Marietta, GA
“Health is a large word. It embraces not the body only, but the mind and spirit as well;… and not today’s pain or pleasure alone, but the whole being and outlook of a man.” – James H. West
Reference: West, James H. (1937). Guideposts to Health. The Healthgram. 8 (6): 15.
The Significance of STD Testing
Often, sexually transmitted diseases do not present apparent symptoms, making regular screenings crucial for early detection and treatment. Unchecked STDs can lead to severe health issues such as infertility, organ damage, and even certain types of cancer. Therefore, understanding your status is vital to maintaining your health and well-being.
STD Testing Services in Marietta, GA
Marietta, Georgia, hosts several reputable clinics that offer comprehensive STD testing services.

The required tests may vary based on age, sexual behavior, number of partners, etc. A consultation with a healthcare provider will assist in determining the appropriate tests for you.
STD Testing Procedure
The testing process is designed to be swift, simple, and comfortable for the patient. After booking an appointment, a healthcare provider will discuss your medical history and sexual habits to decide which tests are needed. Depending on the tests, the process may involve a blood or urine sample, a swab, or a physical examination. Results are typically available within a few days.
Education and Community Initiatives

America’s secretary of state, John Kerry, has a lot on his plate, from the upcoming round of nuclear negotiations with Iran to the global effort in Syria to verify and destroy Bashar al-Assad’s chemical weapons. Yet on Wednesday, he added another item to his “to do” list — spending a full day traveling between Israel and the West Bank to resurrect a peace process that both parties believe is on the brink of collapsing.
After six months of persistent contact with the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and the Palestinian Authority president, Mahmoud Abbas, Kerry achieved a breakthrough in the conflict that had eluded American officials the previous three years. That is, Israeli and Palestinian officials agreed to relaunch direct negotiations within a strict nine month timeframe. Given the enormous mistrust between Israel and the Palestinians over the core issues of the conflict, getting both men back to the negotiating table was a major obstacle. But by with sheer force of his personality, Kerry at least broke through that roadblock.
Three months into the talks, however, it is becoming increasingly obvious that the process is failing to produce any concrete results. Nor is it building the diplomatic momentum that is required to sustain the dialogue for another six months.
With the exception of a few dozen Palestinian prisoners being released from Israeli jails and a promise by Abbas that he will hold off from bringing claims against Israel to the United Nations, the parties remain as far apart as they have ever been.
This was made abundantly clear when Netanyahu, appearing alongside Kerry before their bilateral talks, pinned the blame entirely on the Palestinian delegation. “I see the Palestinians continuing with incitement,” he said, “continuing to create artificial crises, continuing to avoid, run away from the historic decisions that are needed to make a genuine peace.”
The Palestinian delegation is equally upset about how the process has evolved so far, complaining that the United States are not being a forceful enough mediator. The Israelis, they argue, are undermining diplomacy by continuing to approve thousands of Jewish settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, land they have long claimed as part of a future Palestinian state. One official in the Palestine Liberation Organization went as far as saying that Israel’s current actions could lead the Palestinians to withdraw from the talks altogether. Abbas will be bringing that message to Kerry during their discussions in the West Bank, according to The New York Times.
Kerry has been trying his upmost to ensure that the process he started will continue into the future. Upon arriving in Israel, he visited the Tel Aviv square, where former Israeli prime minister Yitzak Rabin was assassinated eighteen years ago by a Jewish extremist who opposed his 1993 peace agreement with the Palestinians. He reminded Israelis and Palestinians about Rabin’s courage and desire to make peace. His message was clear: the current Israeli government needs to exhibit that same courage.
The big test is whether Abbas and Netanyahu can build on that legacy. Judging by the current impasse, it doesn’t appear likely. | <urn:uuid:ed94ba99-b788-447e-b26a-762eabccbd45> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://atlanticsentinel.com/2013/11/kerry-tries-to-rescue-stalled-israeli-palestinian-peace-talks/ | 2023-09-27T12:24:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.967202 | 614 |

A progressive and bold new bill recently introduced into the California Legislature by Assembly member Richard Bloom (D-Santa Monica) may be the beginning of the end to orca captivity in the state forever. The proposed bill, entitled the California Captive Orca Welfare and Trainer Safety Act (AB 2140), does a number of things that will incrementally phase out orca captivity within California, while foreseeably having a knock-on effect for captivity worldwide.
The proposed measure will prohibit the confinement of wild-caught or captive-bred orcas for performance or entertainment purposes. It will also prevent the capture of orcas in state waters, or import from another state. Captive breeding will also be prohibited under the bill, including a ban on the collection, export or import of semen for artificial insemination.
In addition, the bill calls for the rehabilitation and return of orcas currently held for performance purposes wherever possible, and permanent retirement to sea pens for those that cannot. The bill exempts the holding of orcas for rescue or research purposes, but mandates rehabilitation and return to the wild where possible and using best available science. Violations of the bill’s provisions, if it becomes law, will result in fines of up to US$100,000 and up to six months in a county jail.
Even before the release of documentary Blackfish, public awareness and scrutiny of whale and dolphin captivity escalated with the death of trainers Alexis Martinez and Dawn Brancheau, both killed within a few months of each other by orcas held by SeaWorld; a U.S. Congressional hearing reviewing the educational value of public display; the release of the book Death at SeaWorld which details the history and consequences of holding orcas in captivity; and an ongoing court battle between the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and SeaWorld for safety violations at its Orlando location where Ms. Brancheau was killed.
A legislative hearing will occur on April 8th in the Water, Parks and Wildlife Committee of the California Assembly. Please contact the Committee by April 7th requesting that they vote ‘yes’ for the passage of the bill as written so that it can move to the California Senate for review and signature into law by the Governor.
Help us support this positive first step for a permanent end to orcas in captivity. The Committee prefers hard copy letters, so please fax a letter to the legislative committee at 916-319-2196. They especially need to hear from our supporters in the United States!
A sample letter is provided below:
The Honorable Anthony Rendon, Chair
Assembly Water, Parks & Wildlife Committee
1020 N. Street, Suite 160
Sacramento, CA 95814
Dear Assembly Member Rendon:
I am writing to you today to seek your support for AB 2140, The California Captive Orca Welfare and Trainer Safety Act. This bill proposes an incremental and rational approach to phasing out the continuing captivity of orcas in California for entertainment purposes. The bill will also prevent the further captive breeding of orcas, and provide for their humane and long term retirement into sanctuary settings in order to better provide for their physical and psychological requirements in more natural environments.
The death of SeaWorld trainer Dawn Brancheau in 2010 launched a series of events that have brought the continuing confinement of these majestic beings into question. Public opinion confirms that the practice of consigning orcas to a lifetime of confinement for our entertainment is outdated and offensive to our moral sensibilities. In addition, scientific research tells us that captivity can never meet the physical and psychological needs of orcas, and is therefore unsuitable and inappropriate for these highly intelligent, mobile, and social animals.
Sponsored by a respected lawmaker and distinguished marine mammal scientists, the proposed bill has garnered worldwide support and provides a balanced and sensible way forward to gradually phase out this archaic practice. I write to respectfully request that you vote ‘yes’ to AB 2140, and encourage your Committee to do the same by passing it without amendment to the Senate for review and eventual signature into law by the Governor. | <urn:uuid:2a7b211f-d5a6-48a3-a984-984e91ceca28> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://au.whales.org/2014/04/03/help-us-support-an-end-to-orca-captivity-in-the-state-of-california/ | 2023-09-27T11:28:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.928962 | 837 |
Dataset I_All teaching staff survey of opportunities to strengthen online teaching capabilities._v1 01-06-2023.csv
Dataset I: We designed the all-teaching staff survey (dataset I, also see ESM B) to capture a holistic view of the teaching staff's perceptions of all the Faculty Development (FD) available and how they have applied any knowledge or skills acquired from them. Members of the research team completed the survey and refined it. We emailed an online survey to the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences (FMHS), University of Auckland teaching community, comprising approximately 460 staff members. We included the invitation to an interview by a link at the end of the survey. Following face validity, we undertook pilot testing of dataset I (all-teaching staff survey) with the first five survey responses, minor changes were made and the recruiting continued. As this is a descriptive study, we did not undertake further validity and reliability testing of the dataset I survey.
This is underlying data associated with the article 'Faculty development for strengthening online teaching capability: being responsive to what staff want, evaluated with Kirkpatrick’s model of teaching effectiveness' which has been published in MedEdPublish 2023, 13:127 (https://doi.org/10.12688/mep.19692.1). | <urn:uuid:08e3fe5c-6fb1-42c7-9575-62ddf63a5aab> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://auckland.figshare.com/articles/dataset/Dataset_I_All_teaching_staff_survey_of_opportunities_to_strengthen_online_teaching_capabilities_v1_01-06-2023_csv/23272352/1 | 2023-09-27T11:45:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.950198 | 275 |

Tickets are available for purchase online at unitedwaynrv.org or at Due South Barbeque for $16 or at the door for $20 (children under 12 get in for free.) The event will be held rain or shine.
Holy Ghost Tent Revival started as a few students at Greensboro College hanging out and making music together. Built around founding members Stephen Murray and Matt Martin (both on vocals and guitar,) the group grew beyond its dorm room song writers into a dynamic band with a unique sound, gradually adding in trombone, trumpet, drums, and piano, according to an interview Stephen Murray gave No Depression, a “journal of roots music.” In 2007, once most of the band’s members had graduated, the group truly dedicated themselves to touring.
Holy Ghost Tent Revival is a group of kids with a few instruments that grew up but never stopped having fun. The band is known for getting crowds up and dancing with what NPR describes as their unique blend of “New Orleans brass-band jazz,” with the classic rock of the 60s and 70s and a more contemporary indie-rock sound. They characterize themselves as “earthy jazz,” but perhaps Indyweek.com said it best when they characterized Holy Ghost Tent Revival’s unique sound not with a label but with as story: “With the mischievous air of a Mark Twain yarn, [the music]…conjures images of eras spent rambling from town to town, hopping between riverboats and trains, joshing with the locals, romancing with their daughters, and throwing back whiskey on the sly.” Holy Ghost Tent Revival will surely provide a night full of rollicking street jazz and hay-chewing banjo gaiety.
Proceeds from Shelter Fest 2016 will benefit To Our House, a program providing winter shelter for homeless men, and the United Way of Montgomery, Radford & Floyd.
To Our House, a New River Community Action (NRCA) program and a United Way agency, has provided temporary winter shelter to New River Valley homeless men for the past six years thanks to collaborations with faith- and community-based organizations and volunteers. To Our House was formed in 2008 after the death of a Blacksburg homeless man, Teddy O. Henderson; the organization (TOH) adopted his initials. This past winter, 48 New River Valley men were given a warm bed and hot meal through To Our House, and of those men, 12 guests received jobs and 25 received permanent housing as the result of TOH services. More information on To Our House can be found at www.ToOurHouse.org or on Facebook.
United Way of Montgomery, Radford & Floyd unites local people and resources to improve lives in the New River Valley. Local United Way programs include: prescription discount cards; federal emergency and food shelter programs; financial, technical, and administrative assistance to non-profits; food and clothing drives; information and referral services; Christmas assistance program; school supply drive; and a volunteer center. UWMRF provides financial support to 26 partner agencies, including To Our House. More information on UWMRF can be found at unitedwaynrv.org.

For those seeking a career in the automotive industry, becoming a vehicle damage appraiser has many advantages. Vehicle damage appraisers play an important role in the insurance claims and help ensure fair compensation for customers who have experienced automobile accidents or other types of vehicular damage.
Working as a Kfz-Gutachter allows individuals to use their automotive expertise and problem-solving skills to help customers while also earning a competitive salary. However, some challenges come along with this job. This article will explore the benefits and challenges of working as a vehicle damage appraiser.
The primary benefit of being a vehicle damage appraiser is the potential for a high income. Many insurance companies pay their appraisers a per-claim fee, which can be quite lucrative. Appraisers also have the opportunity to work independently as independent contractors or as employees for company insurers. In either case, the compensation is often very competitive with other positions in the automotive industry.
Finally, working as a vehicle damage appraiser offers great satisfaction. Appraisers can help give customers the fair compensation they deserve after experiencing an automobile accident or other vehicular damage. Knowing that they are making a difference in people’s lives can be a very rewarding experience for appraisers.
However, there are some challenges associated with being a vehicle damage appraiser. One of the biggest challenges is that appraisers must be familiar with various vehicles and their components. Appraisers must be able to quickly assess any damage that has occurred and accurately estimate the cost of repairs or replacement parts. This requires a great deal of knowledge about automobiles and excellent problem-solving skills.
Appraisers must thoroughly understand vehicles and their components to accurately assess the extent of any damage that has occurred. This knowledge allows appraisers to assess accurately the value of repairs or replacement parts needed for each claim. | <urn:uuid:0dd0ee95-80c7-4481-9ef4-56cc975e1e37> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://auto-set.com/the-benefits-and-challenges-of-working-as-a-vehicle-damage-appraiser/ | 2023-09-27T12:38:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.968995 | 370 |
The most common reason behind car wobbles at 20 mph are tire issues, damaged suspension, loose tire rods, bad ball joints, faulty wheel bearings, damaged CV axle shafts, and a bent drive shaft.
Keep reading this article to find out more about these issues in detail and learn how you can fix each of these issues. Let’s dive in!
Table of Contents
Why Car Wobbles At 20 MPH [Reasons + Solutions]
We’ll discuss what causes speed wobbles in a car in this section. Here are the major reasons that cause your car to shake and wobble:
1. Tire Issues
If your car wobbles when driving, the most common reason behind it is tire issues. The wobbling issue can be caused by the fact that either cupping of the tires or the tires becoming unbalanced. Here’s how you can check your tire for cupping:
Run your hands along with the tire and see if you can feel any unevenness. Your tire has cupping if it feels like small waves. There’ll be uneven wear between the treads when you have a cupping issue.
Before doing that, make sure there aren’t any steel cords hanging from the tire that can injure you. You can also feel the flat spots on the tire with your hand. Sometimes, the tires will be so worn-out that you can diagnose them just by looking at them.
Another tire issue that can cause your car to wobble is when they’re unbalanced. When the tires are out of balance, it becomes more noticeable by driving at higher speeds. If your car wobbles at 55 mph and it becomes more noticeable, unbalanced tires could be the culprit behind it.
Tire issues are the easiest to diagnose and cheapest to fix if you have a car wobbling issue. If the tires are unbalanced, you can rebalance them and fix your issue.
But if the tires have cupping or gone through severe wear and tear, it’s a good idea to replace the tires to stop the wobbling of your car. Make sure the tires are properly inflated and balanced when you replace them.
2. Damaged Suspension
A faulty suspension can also cause the car to wobble. It’s normal to get a bit of a wobble in your steering wheel if you’re driving on an uneven road. But if it persists and your car wobbles at 10 mph or higher, it could be due to a loose transmission or leaking shocks or struts.
If your car wobbles when hitting bumps, that’s also a good sign of loose or worn-out transmission. To test if the shocks and struts are fine, you can press down on the corners of the vehicle and see if they’re bouncing too much.
Be on the lookout for these signs to tell if your shocks and struts are bad:
- Your car bounces more than once after hitting a bump.
- The front of the car nosedives when you hit the brakes hard.
- Oil will leak out of the shocks and struts.
If the problem is being caused by damaged shocks and struts, you can replace them and get your car running fine. But in some cases, the entire suspension can get worn out with time and you’ll need to replace it.
3. Loose Tire Rods
Problems with both the inner and outer tire rods can cause your car to wobble. If your car wobbles when accelerating, it could be due to the tire rods getting loose. The vibrations intensify if you drive at higher speeds.
Apart from your car wobbling, here are some common symptoms that you can observe when the tire rods become loose:
- The steering wheel will feel loose.
- A clunky feeling in your steering wheel.
- You’ll hear a squeaking noise when turning your car.
If you take your car to a mechanic, he can lift the car up and check if you really have loose tire rods and confirm your hypothesis. If the tire rods are causing the problem, replace them to stop the wobbling of your car.
4. Bad Ball Joints
The ball joints in your vehicle are mounted on the control arms to make sure that they rotate up and down in a smooth manner. But when the ball joints get bad and become loose, they can cause your car to wobble.
Loose ball joints are also accompanied by a clunking noise coming from your car. The noise will continue to become louder as they’ll undergo more wear and tear with time.
Here are some other symptoms of loose ball joints:
- The steering and suspension make unexpected movements when driving.
- Steering knuckles move freely from the control arm.
- The ball joints are leaking grease.
You need to replace the ball joints if they’re causing the problem. Ball joints don’t come as a single unit in most cases and it’s a good idea to replace the entire control arm if you have loose ball joints.
5. Faulty Wheel Bearings
The next thing to check if your car wobbles at 25 mph are the wheel bearings. Your car will wobble when you accelerate or take turns if the wheel bearings in your car are damaged. You’ll also hear a scraping noise when driving if the wheel bearings in your car become loose.
Replace the wheel bearings in your car if the ones you have become loose and cause your engine to wobble. It takes expertise to work on these parts. So, it’s a good idea to take your car to a mechanic to replace the wheel bearings rather than doing it yourself.
6. Damaged CV Axle Shafts
The CV Axle shafts in your car flow the power from the car’s transmission to the wheels. But if it gets bad, you’ll feel an excessive wobbling of your car. Oftentimes, your car will act extra bouncy when the axle shafts are damaged.
If your car wobbles at 35 mph or higher, chances are that you have damaged CV axle shafts. Here are some common symptoms you can use to identify if you have bad CV axle shafts:
- Overflow of grease around the wheel knuckles or axle.
- Clicking noise when you’re driving.
- Shaking steering wheel.
Replace the damaged axle shafts to stop your car from wobbling. It’ll cost anywhere between $60 and $150 to buy the CV axle shafts depending on your vehicle. If you hire a mechanic to do it, you can expect to pay $150 to $400 as labor charges.
7. Bent Drive Shaft
If your car wobbles at 90 mph or lower, it could be due to a bent drive shaft. For cars with rear-wheel drive, the drive shaft delivers the power from the engine to the wheels. Your car will be able at low speeds and wobble even higher when the drive shaft is bent.
You can tell if the driveshaft has become bad if the center support bearing becomes off-center and it rotates in an abnormal manner. The U-joints at the two ends on the driveshaft will go back and forth when it’s damaged.
It’s not easy to do repair work on any drive shaft. So, you need to replace the drive shaft of your vehicle if it’s causing the car wobbling issue.
Why Does The Steering Wheel Wobble When Braking?
If you notice your car wobbling when you hit the brakes, here are the potential causes behind it:
1. Faulty Brake Rotors
If you notice excessive shaking from your steering wheel, it indicates that the brake rotors in your vehicle became warped or worn out. Another sign of a faulty brake pad is that your steering wheel will start to shake as soon as you hit the brakes.
You can try to resurface the brake rotors to fix the problem. But you need to replace the brake rotors if it doesn’t work.
2. Uneven Brake Pads
If you’ve checked out the rotors and they are fine, the next thing to look at is the brake pads. If the brake pads are uneven, it’ll cause the steering wheel to wobble.
Realign the brake pads and see if that solves your problem. Otherwise, replace the brake pads.
3. Stuck Brake Calipers
Brake calipers can cause the steering wheel to wobble, especially, if you’re driving over 50 mph. This problem is more common for older cars than for newer ones.
If the brake calipers are stuck, they can be often accompanied by a burning smell. It’s not good to drive in this condition and you should replace them before you drive your car again.
Can I drive with unbalanced tires?
Unbalanced tires aren’t an immediate issue that you need to fix. You can drive for about two or three months with unbalanced tires before it gets dangerous and leads to a serious problem.
Can bad struts cause wobbling?
Struts are meant to absorb the impact from bumpy roads and soften the blow. When they have gone bad, it can cause the car to wobble.
Why does my car jerk when I accelerate?
One of the most common reasons that cause the car to jerk when you accelerate is bad fuel injectors. It can also happen because of worn-out spark plugs or a clogged air filter.
Is it safe to drive with a shaking steering wheel?
The steering wheel shaking is normally caused by simple issues and that’s why you can drive with a shaking steering wheel for a while. But you should get it checked by a mechanic ASAP.
It’s frustrating to be driving and find out that your car wobbles at 20 mph. But now you know what are the potential reasons behind this problem and how you can fix these issues.

It’s Chris here with a very important message…
While it may appear that demand is finally in control at the moment… it’s almost guaranteed to be temporary.
It’s incredibly important that you don’t lose sight of the fact that it leads to the setup of the greatest, easiest, most obvious Bearish trades this summer.
People incorrectly think, “Shorting is RISKY… being Bearish is RISKY. Just buying is safe.”
Well, I’m sorry for the rude awakening, but that’s a bunch of bulls**t. This type of thinking is the reason why individual investors so often underperform.
The Trend is your FRIEND.
Trading in the direction of the next bigger trend is the KEY. It’s what’s the SAFEST and that means you’re getting BEARISH near the short-term TOPS and exiting those positions at the next leg lower.
I’m begging you to “get” this. To fully understand it.
They tell you shorting is risky because “stocks can go infinitely higher.”
When I hear people say that I want to shake them. And I want to protect you from making grave mistakes with real financial consequences.
The bottom line is that a stock can go up or down by 30%. Avoiding shorting just because “stocks can’t go lower than zero” is ridiculous.
Avoiding shorting just because stocks can go infinitely higher is ridiculous, so I ridicule people who say it. You’d NEVER sit in a short position as it infinitely goes higher…
You’d exit. Duh.
Seriously, they tell you shorting is risky and that options are even riskier?
“Don’t protect yourself,” they say…
“Take on the risk of just buying in a Bear Market,” they say…
It’s almost as if the market is rigged and they want YOU to lose so that THEY can win.
Here’s How to Play a Bear Market
Now there are really two ways that I like to play a Bear Market. The first is shorting, and the second is by buying put options.
Sadly, you will never hear this kind of advice from the popular financial media or your financial advisor.
In their mind, buying and holding a fund or stock and watching it fall 50% or more is “safe” and techniques like shorting and intelligently using options are “risky.”
It just shines a light on how poorly trained many are in the financial service industry.
Trading in the direction of the primary trend is the smartest thing you can do.
So many investors underperform and suffer periods of losses because they either don’t recognize changes in trends in the market or they simply refuse to acknowledge these changes and fight the downtrend.
If I could distill everything I know about the market into one simple piece of advice, it would be this: Always, always, trade in the direction of the primary trend.
First, let’s talk about shorting.
When you “short” a stock you are effectively borrowing the shares from your broker so that you can sell them today with the intention of buying them back in the future at a lower price.
Imagine you sold shares of PayPal (PYPL) short as the 50dma crossed under the 200dma. You could have just closed out a trade with a 147-point gain!
Remind me again why the so-called “experts” tell us this is a bad idea?
Shorting is a completely legit way to profit during a market downturn, so don’t let anyone try to tell you otherwise.
Now, let’s discuss using put options.
If you’re truly worried that shorting has “unlimited risk”, then use puts to define your risk to a limited amount of money.
When you buy a put, you own the right to sell the underlying stock at a specific price. Obviously, the more the stock drops, the more expensive the option becomes.
A good way to play a falling stock is to buy what is known as “deep-in-the-money puts.” While they cost a little more than a strike that is “at the money,” they capture more of the underlying stock price movement.
For example, if you were trying to short Microsoft, a deep-in-the-money option (delta 75) would be equivalent to shorting 75 shares whereas an at-the-money option (delta of 50) would be equivalent to being short 50 shares.
The key here is not to over-leverage, but to trade in proportion to your account size. If 75 shares of Microsoft represent more value than you might normally trade, then find a lower-priced stock.
The fact is that the tools are there to make money regardless of the market direction.
Problems arise when the predominantly bullish financial media and financial service industry continue to suggest that it’s “safe” to just keep buying.
Now you know better.

MU YOUNG JEONG
Mu Young spent the first 12 years of his life in South Korea before his parents decided that their children could have a much better life here in the States. But the life his family found in America was neither smooth nor easy. Mu Young absorbed all the changes and the hardships his family faced quite badly; he laid up troubles in his heart and he wore his discontent on his face for the first few years of his transition to America. In many ways those were some of the most painful years of his life.
Mu Young doesn’t consider all those troubled years to be of any less value than the pleasant days of his life however. At the end of those formative years, sometime in early high school, God revealed Himself to Mu Young. He came to know God’s love through all the good and the bad that came before that time.
With a renewed hope and joy, Mu Young wanted to learn everything there was to learn about God. He applied to Biola right out of high school but could not attend due to issues with his immigration status. Instead he went to a community college and studied philosophy for two reasons: first, it was the next best thing to studying something like theology that he thought would directly address his current joyful curiosity about God, and second, he was recommended by his youth pastor to study philosophy based on the kinds of questions he would often ask. Mu Young transferred to UC Berkeley and completed his studies in philosophy there.
While studying philosophy, Mu Young developed a keen interest in certain philosophical issues. Mu Young sought to develop his interest by applying to graduate schools for further study of philosophy. But his attempts at pursuing a PhD program in philosophy turned out to be fruitless.
While seeking God’s will for a new direction, it was suggested to Mu Young that maybe law could be a suitable field for him to try. He trusted God with that suggestion and decided to take steps of faith in that direction. Toward that end he decided to apply to ALG and was offered a position as a legal assistant during which time both ALG and Mu Young would try to discern the will of God for the direction they are to take together!

While many construction companies have safety initiatives, they are often seen as ancillary efforts. The concept of safety for Fluor needed to be positioned as integral to the very existence of the Fluor brand. Caring for each other’s safety is not optional when working at Fluor.
Spreading safety companywide.
The Fluor: Safer Together theme was created with an identity expressed through the program’s badge. Simple yet colorful, the Safer Together badge is easily applied across all aspects of the Fluor environment, from uniforms and helmets to signage, posters, presentations and more. Additionally, an inspiring “Safety Pledge” was developed to articulate the company’s ongoing commitment to safety.
Embraced around the world.
The Safer Together theme has been successfully launched enterprise-wide and appears across all corporate facilities and thousands of construction sites around the world. It has been translated into multiple languages and is embraced by employees, partners and clients. | <urn:uuid:60cfa7da-4ecc-4737-bdb4-58ef5a597aff> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://avreafoster.com/results/fluor/ | 2023-09-27T10:51:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.935083 | 332 |

Once they got a degree, disadvantaged and advantaged Australian students did roughy equally as well -- after a slow start
The report below uses what must be the latest euphemism for "disadvantaged" -- "Equity". So if you start out unequal, you are an "equity" person! The logic quite escapes me despite my many years of dealing with political correctness. But you need to know that abuse of language to understand the report below.
They find that most people from an unpromising background (Aborigines and the disabled excepted) do roughly as well in jobs and income after they have graduated. But that is only true if you look at the groups around seven years after graduation. The "equity" students do catch up to the others but not initially.
The authors appear to think that the roughly equal long term outcomes for advantaged and disadvantaged students show that a university education is effective in overcoming inital disadvantages that people suffer.
But it doesn't. It simply shows that the selection criteria used to govern entry to university do a good job. You get into university on ability, regardless of your "equity" status. Putting it another way, the "equity" students who get into university are a specially selected subset of the "equity" population, so how well they do does not reflect the prospects "equity" people in general
Beyond graduation: long-term socioeconomic outcomes amongst equity students
Wojtek Tomaszewski et al.
This report aimed to address significant gaps in scientific knowledge about the trajectories of post-graduation outcomes of students from equity groups by examining the following research questions:
Do equity graduates reap the benefits of university education to the same extent as non-equity graduates over the short and long run?
What are the differences in outcomes between graduates from different equity groups?
What are the specific outcome domains (e.g. labour market, social capital, wellbeing) where equity group graduates perform particularly well or particularly poorly?
To answer these research questions, the study utilised robust statistical methodologies to analyse high-quality, nationally representative longitudinal data from the ABS Census of Population and Housing (the Census) and the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey. Both sets of analyses covered five population-based equity groups:
* low socioeconomic status (low SES)
* non-English-speaking background (NESB)
* residents in regional/remote areas
* Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders (Indigenous)
* students with disability.
Analysis of the Census data focused on the labour market outcomes and provided robust evidence over a short to medium time period. The Census analyses were complemented by innovative analysis of the HILDA Survey, which enabled us to document long-term trajectories across a broader set of socioeconomic outcomes (for example, health, subjective wellbeing and social capital) that go beyond the standard labour market indicators investigated by previous studies in this area.
The analysis of the longitudinal Census data suggested that there exist relatively small but significant differences between graduates from some of the equity groups and their non-equity counterparts in relation to certain labour market outcomes.
Key findings from these analyses included:
a lower likelihood of low SES and NESB graduates to be in employment, to be employed in a managerial or professional occupation, and to have a high personal income if in full-time employment
a lower likelihood of graduates with disability to be employed.
These findings are consistent with the previous evidence from the limited body of other Australian studies in this area, while arguably offering more robust evidence being based on a high-quality and authoritative data source. Furthermore, while the Census analyses have a relatively short time horizon, covering up to five years post-graduation, this analysis went considerably beyond the four- to six-month after graduation horizon of the Graduate Outcomes Survey (GOS), which has been typically used to report employment outcomes for university graduates in Australia.
The HILDA analyses further extended the time horizon covered, capturing outcomes up to 15 years post-graduation. They also focused on a different set of outcomes, covering health and wellbeing indicators, as well as a set of subjective measures related to employment and financial circumstances. This makes it the first study in Australia to investigate such outcomes in relation to post-university outcomes of equity graduates.
Overall, the HILDA analyses suggested that for most of the outcomes investigated in this report, the trajectories of equity and non-equity graduates moved in similar directions, and at a comparable pace, after the attainment of undergraduate university qualifications. This resulted in lack of differences or a convergence in outcomes over a longer time horizon. However, while rarely statistically significant, there appeared to be some evidence that equity graduates generally reported inferior outcomes compared with non-equity graduates, at least in the first few years after graduation. This pattern appeared to be most pronounced for indicators related to subjective assessment of financial prosperity and job security but also social support.
Although the differences between equity and non-equity graduates were often not statistically significant, or converged over time, there were two notable exceptions to this pattern: students of an Indigenous background, and students with disability, both of which reported significantly inferior outcomes compared with their non-equity counterparts, particularly in terms of physical and mental health, and subjective wellbeing as captured by life satisfaction. While based on small samples, and arguably reflecting a broader underlying disadvantage for these two equity groups, these findings highlight that this kind of disadvantage is not easily alleviated through the completion of a university degree alone, but also requires a concerted policy effort within and beyond the higher education sector. For the other equity groups, the trajectories of equity and non-equity graduates appeared to converge over a longer-run so that any initial differences disappear after seven to eight years post-graduation. However, arguably more could be done to prevent this seven- or eight-year-long catch up and give an equal start to all university graduates, regardless of their background. | <urn:uuid:2ccef517-6ac0-497e-a5d5-d2ade0f3face> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://awesternheart.blogspot.com/2019/08/once-they-got-degree-disadvantaged-and.html | 2023-09-27T12:47:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.945461 | 1,230 |
The Milwaukee Brewers avoided a sweep against the San Francisco Giants on Sunday, winning the last game of the four-game series between the two teams 7-5. In the later stages, Giants color commentator, Shawn Estes, provided a humorous misread of a stat, which his partner, play-by-play man Dave Flemming, called out.
One of Milwaukee’s strengths is its bullpen, led by closer Devin Williams. Going into Sunday’s game, Williams had been pretty close to unhittable on the season, posting a 0.59 ERA and 0.848 WHIP while striking out 19 hitters in 15.1 innings. That continued on Sunday, as Williams locked down a four-out save, walking one batter and striking out three.
While the Giants had climbed back from 7-0 to 7-5 by the bottom of the seventh inning, Estes knew that finishing the comeback would be tough. “There’s a reason why the Brewers this year are 45-1 when they’re leading after seven innings. That back end of the bullpen has been really good for them.”
Flemming called the next pitch, a ball outside from Giants pitcher Tristan Beck, before fact-checking his partner. “What did you say the record was?” Flemming asked.
Estes confidently replied “45-1.”
At that point, Flemming made a correction. “But not this year. They haven’t won 45 games yet.”
Realizing the mistake, Estes quipped, “Yeah, well it’s probably not 45 then.” Indeed, at the time of the comment, both the Brewers and Giants sat at 27-25 on the season.
The two then laughed, which led to Estes joking “They’re that good after the seventh that they’ve actually won more games than they’ve played.”
He then clarified that the Brewers were 22-1, with Flemming saying “Maybe if you go back into last year.”
Shawn Estes: "There's a reason why the Brewers this year are 45-1 when they're leading after 7 innings.
Dave Flemming: "What did you say the record was?"
Flemming: "But not this year. They haven't won 45 games yet."
Estes: "Yeah, well it's probably not 45 then." pic.twitter.com/fBnLpvP0d8

To their credit, both Flemming and Estes quickly found the humor of the situation. Broadcast partners will occasionally awkwardly cover for each other in situations like this. So, it was refreshing to see these two work their way through the gaffe.
And Milwaukee’s record when leading after seven innings is now 46-1 — or 23-1 — depending on which stats you believe. | <urn:uuid:aed2c793-bc1d-41f9-a7e5-84752592b418> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://awfulannouncing.com/mlb/dave-flemming-shawn-estes-brewers-giants-mistake.html | 2023-09-27T11:37:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.963225 | 641 |
When a folder got no index.php file or index.html file, the web server will start to show its contents. These days, you must prevent the unauthorized users from looking inside your directory. Last day, one of our users asked about WordPress directory browsing and the prevention. In this post, we will show you that, how can you disable directory browsing in WordPress.
How To Prevent WordPress Directory Browsing?
I hope most of you are using WordPress SEO by Yoast plugin. If you are, this will be pretty easy for you. If you are now, you need to use an FTP account or access the file manager.
All we need to do for disabling directory browsing in WordPress, edit the .htaccess file and add a single line of code on it. So, let’s begin.
Using Yoast SEO
First of all, you need to login to your WordPress dashboard and go to the tools section under the Yoast SEO section. There you can see the file editor.
There, you can see the .htaccess file of your blog.
You need to enter the below code into the .htaccess. After that simply save the file.
WordPress directory browsing is simply disabled!
Log in to your cPanel and access file manager. Then you need to go to the public_html folder. There, you can see the .htaccess file.
If you haven’t seen it, you need to enable the show hidden files feature.
Simply edit the file and add the code we mentioned above.

Identifying Target Markets (Startup Founder Sales Series, Part 3)
Architecture can be a highly polarizing subject. For example, I truly believe that I lived in the ugliest building on the planet during my first year of college. The structure was called Warren Towers and it was a blight upon the Boston skyline. Not only was the design hideous, but when held in contrast with the surrounding rows of brownstone, the older college buildings, and the picturesque Charles River, it felt out of place with its surroundings.
The same feeling could be said about startups that sell to the wrong people. I was an investor to one startup in the mobile sales presentation market. The first market they entered, medical devices, was a good fit since their sales people were often on the road visiting doctors and needed an app to manage and present highly technical content. Then they wanted to go wide. They were canvassing construction shows, plastics trade shows, aeronautical conferences, boating expos, and every other industry type event to generate awareness and sales. One year later, they pivoted back to the medical device industry.
There are times when your market is pretty clear. If you are building an app to monitor the movement of cows, there is little doubt about the industry or customers. Many solutions, however, are broader either because they solve a horizontal problem or because there are multiple potential use cases and customer types.
Some of these questions should be cleared up by going through the customer development process. This is a core practice of the “Lean Startup” concept we mentioned at the beginning of this series. When interviewing potential users of your solution, it helps to identify key elements of your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP), or the type of customer most likely to value and buy your product. Some of these elements include:
- Company size
- Company industry
- Company culture
- Level of regulatory control
- Growth rate
- Hiring rate
- Market growth
- Business model
These are a few common examples, but each startup will have their own unique ways of defining their ICP. Perhaps certain technical platforms or capabilities are needed, or adoption of certain practices or processes are required to be a good fit as a customer. For instance, if you are selling a DevOps tool, a core requirement for your ICP would be that a customer have an in-house engineering team.
Founders often think customer development only applies to the process of designing and building an MVP. In fact, customer development is a continuous loop of gathering feedback and validating assumptions about customers and markets. The process of defining your initial ICP is therefore not too dissimilar to refining, modifying, and extending the initial model. Much like the process of building an MVP is an iterative process, so is defining the ICP.
There are numerous tools and mechanisms used in the Lean Startup methodology for helping founders identify the ICP. One method is identifying cohorts of similar profiles and reaching out with a personal invite to ask a few questions. A natural starting place to find profiles is on LinkedIn, but use the communities that make the most sense for your solution and audience. For example, developers are often going to be on GitHub and Twitter, designers can be found on Dribbble, and many types of community can be found on Reddit.
Most people will respond positively if you create a thoughtful message. Not everyone will be able to help, but this process only requires a couple handfuls of people to answer questions to confirm whether or not they see a large enough value in your solution or feature. This same method can be applied to confirming pricing, assessing and clarifying key messaging, and other important questions about the product and market.
With an initial set of findings, you can either confirm or cancel out a proposed ICP. Could a small data set be a false positive or negative? Yes, but at this early stage, you are looking for an ICP where the data demonstrates a significant level of affirmation, rather than to focus too much on edge cases. There is always opportunity to reexamine at a later stage when there is a sales and marketing team in place to investigate further.
One last thing to point out is that many posts about creating ICPs will emphasize creating an ICP before defining buying personas. The reasoning is that a broader understanding of the market is needed before one can define the types of people involved in the sales process. From our experience though, either the ICP is already very well-understood from the onset (like our AgriTech example from before) or the differences in ICPs being explored is not vastly different.
We reverse that order and identify motivations and buyer personas first. The reasoning is that starting with broad motivations leads to a better and more meaningful understanding of the challenges and opportunities your solution addresses. Even though it is called B2B sales, we are not selling to companies. We are selling to and engaging with people and what they most care about (the WIIFM from the last post).
In the next post, we explore the topic of sales messaging and what it takes to create copy that starts sales conversations with the buyers in your ICP. | <urn:uuid:2a0c36ec-c831-4e1c-baab-2f4a5c2e6233> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/startups/identifying-target-markets-startup-founder-sales-series-part-3/ | 2023-09-27T13:27:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.956805 | 1,058 |

Reed employees are committed to fulfilling its mission of helping others. Employee retention at the firm averages 4.2 years on average.
Reed is an international company offering recruitment and professional training services and HR consulting solutions.
An effective employee benefits program can make a tremendous difference to employee morale. Reed provides their staff with several perks, including health and wellness programs, tuition reimbursement, and maternity/paternity leave; flexible work hours and five-year sabbatical leave are provided, as well as financial benefits such as group personal pension schemes and discount health cash plans.
Reed Specialist Recruitment was established in 1992 as an independent recruitment agency specializing in financial services. Offering temporary and permanent recruitment services across a range of sectors such as banking and finance, office support, HR, management procurement, IT healthcare, training development courses, postgraduate study programs, and business courses are some of its many offerings.
Reed offers an attractive benefits package to its employees, such as flexible working policies and free parking. Employees have access to private medical insurance through Reed. Reed also provides a group personal pension scheme with contributions of 3% for employers and up to 5% from employees; employees may choose salary sacrifice to increase contributions in future years. Finally, a discount health cash plan and life assurance up to four times salary are available as additional employee perks.
Reed offers its employees the added perk of taking a five or 10-year sabbatical, along with family-friendly work environments and travel opportunities – benefits that may appeal to those with an affinity for travel and exploring different places and cultures.
Reed has built up a reputation as an attractive employer; however, its benefits do not compare favorably with those of similar businesses in its industry. This could be down to Reed being a family-run operation; although this may be positive for some employees, this also may mean decreased efficiency and motivation within the organization; additionally, family members may lack an interest in running such complex operations and sales data operations.
Culture is essential to the success of any organization, driving employee engagement and satisfaction that ultimately affects company performance. Businesses can create a positive workplace culture in many ways – the best solution depends on which approach works for your business.
Engaged employees are more likely to be productive and creative at work – which benefits both employees and employers. However, an engaging workplace requires employees and leaders to commit themselves to its creation.
Critical components of an ideal workplace include:
Employees want to feel valued and supported at work. One way of accomplishing this goal is by creating a culture that fosters learning and growth opportunities and recognition for achievements. Employees also appreciate feeling heard, with their needs and opinions respected, as part of an inclusive team environment.
An influential work culture demands striking a balance between professional and personal life, which can be achieved by encouraging healthy lifestyles, supporting employees with mental health issues, or offering flexibility to those caring for loved ones. A company’s leaders should regularly demonstrate that they care for their employees – this may involve providing support when upskilling or changing jobs is required, being flexible during times of stress, or decreasing salaries to keep employees employed when most needed.
No two businesses share the same work culture, and employers must keep employee satisfaction top of mind if their workplace is to remain sustainable. One effective way of learning how to improve one’s workplace culture is by looking at those of other companies – for instance, by studying their values, employee communication strategies, and efforts toward diversity and inclusion, such as Microsoft’s diverse workforce, which prioritizes employee happiness by offering programs such as wellness promotion and collaboration as examples.
Training & Development
Reed offers many learning and development opportunities designed to meet the goals of new employees, existing staff, and those looking to advance their careers. These include leadership courses explicitly designed for paraprofessionals and Reed managers; career tier-specific training designed to outline what is expected at each tier to help ensure a clear path towards advancement; and workshops, seminars, and online learning platforms.
Reed Manufacturing hosts annual hands-on tool training sessions for employees so that all team members have a firm grasp on both established and new tools; additionally, Regional Managers host live demonstrations of Reed products for end users and distributor sales teams to gather valuable product feedback.
At Reed, employees are acknowledged for their hard work with awards and celebrations that recognize their efforts – from service pins for retirees to an annual recognition ceremony featuring appearances by both Chancellor and Provost – employee recognition is integral in cultivating an engaging work environment at Reed.
Reed’s IT team employs cutting-edge systems that make patent and trademark information easily accessible, directly benefitting the worldwide intellectual property community, jobs, and the economy. Reed provides its IT professionals with competitive packages of benefits.
After years of dealing with an imbalanced commission model and low satisfaction scores, REED’s reward team recognized they needed to change their focus on rewarding Co-Members. Instead, they concentrated on providing “Total Reward Packages” – all the rewards, perks, and experiences offered while working at REED.
They recognized that communicating their new strategy and benefits was essential to reach their goal – a challenging feat given that their workforce covers 91 offices!
To improve communication, the team updated existing communications to reach Co-Members throughout. In addition, they altered onboarding material so new hires were aware of all of the perks and rewards they’d receive upon joining the company, leading to higher engagement levels and employee satisfaction scores. This increased employee satisfaction significantly. | <urn:uuid:cd4ef4f7-f884-471e-92fe-7a9ead158e3a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://axonnsd.org/employees-at-reed-college-of-medicine/ | 2023-09-27T11:32:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.96514 | 1,146 |

The fabrics used in Joseph Abboud suits come from Italy. The brand specializes in wools from the Carlo Barbera, Lanificio Ermenegildo Zegna, and Ferla mills. The fabrics are then cut using ten different cutting machines. Making one of Abboud’s suits is highly skilled and meticulous.
Each suit is tailored to fit the body’s shape, and the lining conforms to the body’s shape. The suits come with working buttonholes and hand-detailed pick stitching. Matching pocket squares, ties, and shoes complete the look. The brand recommends double monk strap shoes and matching shirts.
While many brands have factory locations in Italy, Joseph Abboud has a factory in New Bedford, Mass. The company has been operating since 1987 and is now the largest tailoring facility in North America. The factory produces various products, including Abboud’s namesake line and the Men’s Wearhouse line. It produces over 1,300 suits a week and roughly 300,000 per year.
His fits are a half canvas.
Joseph Abboud suits are a half-canvass construction, a term some people use to describe how the chest piece is fused. The fabric is usually Italian, and the suits are made in America. In contrast, a Hickey Freeman suit purchased from a department store is not likely to be a half-canvassed construction.
The designer, based in New Bedford, Mass., has been a trailblazer in men’s fashion for three decades. He has created suits that mimic Italian tailoring, and his collections are known for their superior quality. The suits, cut from the most delicate Italian fabrics, feel fantastic against the body and are built to last for years. The suits’ canvas shoulders accentuate the body and highlight the man’s best features.
His prices range from $895 to $2,000
Joseph Abboud is a well-known manufacturer of fancy men’s suits. The man behind this line is a native of New Bedford, Massachusetts, who made his name in the fashion industry by creating a soft-shoulder blazer and imitating the tailoring style of Giorgio Armani. He has been at the top of the fashion game for three decades, making millions of dollars. His designs are timeless, and he believes in the elegance of the suit.
The Joseph Abboud brand is a global fashion leader with over $700 million in retail sales. The company is offered through various channels, including Tailored Brands in the U.S., Onward Kashiyama in Japan, and its online store. | <urn:uuid:e4f7af63-3fdc-4d6f-9c4b-ebd5228c92f9> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://axonnsd.org/joseph-abboud-suits-review/ | 2023-09-27T11:37:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.950449 | 829 |
Declaring the Messiah
Jesus asks His disciples, who have been with Him for some time, who they think He is. Peter responds that He is the Messiah, people have been waiting for. Jesus says that this will be the basis of the church. The psalmist recognizes that without God, the people of Israel would not have survived their enemies, then thanks God for the divine presence.
Looking at the world shows that God is with us, and this is all that keeps us going.
God, almighty and victorious, You are the source of our salvation. Yet too often we don’t recognize this. We think we have achieved success on our own. We forget that only when we rely on You are we successful. Forgive us, and teach us once more to recognize that You are our Savior. | <urn:uuid:8d5b7435-9bb9-41c8-93d0-632865fd2f40> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://aztecmethodist.org/sermons/declaring-the-messiah/ | 2023-09-27T11:55:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.976312 | 171 |

The latest data from cybersecurity solutions provider Kaspersky showed that the Philippines recorded more than 4.5 million phishing attacks in 2022, ranking fifth in the Southeast Asian region.
Topping the list is Vietnam with a whopping 17.8 million phishing attacks, followed by Malaysia with 8.2 million, Thailand posting 6.2 million, and Indonesia completing the top list with 4.9 million.
“When it comes to scamming people online, phishing remains to be the tried and tested modus operandi of cybercriminals due to its cost-effectiveness and profitability,” said Adrian Hia, managing director for Asia Pacific at Kaspersky. “A malicious mail with a phishing link that leads to a phishing page lays the foundation for an attack that will eventually result in identity theft, financial loss, and damage to reputation for both individuals and businesses.”
Kaspersky: Scammers turn to Threads to spread phishing links
Kaspersky shows how scammers create fake pages using phishing kits
Most attacked sectors
According to Kaspersky, 27.38% of attempts its solutions have blocked globally are aimed at users of delivery services with scammers using the name of legitimate delivery companies to send phishing emails.
The second most attacked sector based on Kaspersky’s data is online stores comprising 15.56% of detected attempts and it is followed by payment systems and banks each comprise 10.39% of detected attacks.
In 2022, more than 43 million phishing attempts that targeted the devices of Kaspersky’s individual and enterprise users in the region were prevented by Kaspersky’s Anti-Phishing system to follow phishing links.
In Kaspersky’s previous studies, the average cost of data breaches for small and medium businesses (SMBs) from 2017-2021 is at $104,400 (or P5.8 million in today’s forex). The highest recorded financial impact was $120,000 in 2018 which went down to $108,000 and $101,000 in 2019 and 2020, respectively, during the pandemic. It has gone up slightly to $105,000 in 2021.
“Recently, we’ve seen an increase in targeted phishing attacks where scammers don’t immediately move on to the phishing attack itself, but only after several introductory emails where there is active correspondence with the victim,” Hia said. | <urn:uuid:2927126f-4113-4f87-8047-010db576c448> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://backendnews.net/kaspersky-ph-ranks-5th-in-sea-for-highest-phishing-incidents/ | 2023-09-27T11:36:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.938455 | 516 |

Grandchildren "Grandchildren (EJRC)"
Grandchildren have been a band for about a decade now, and frontwoman Shari Bolar and songwriter Aleks Martray have been a couple for nearly that long. The songs appearing on this self-titled album all started out as “musical love letters.” Cute! I don’t know about you, but I’m not nearly cynical enough to not think that is adorable! This record finds the band stripping away some of the lush orchestrations of their previous work and focusing on intimate, acoustic sounds that reflect their relationship. Like it says in the album premiere on PopMatters “The material is ultimately “harmonic conversations about their past, present and future”, forming “a narrative of both love and longing” and much more.” Check out the simple pleasures of the uplifting “Zuni.” | <urn:uuid:756d42fd-afcb-4314-9c42-c204111828e9> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://bankrobbermusic.com/release/grandchildren-ejrc/ | 2023-09-27T12:03:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.962043 | 192 |

* Home Improvement - A recently refinished bathtub not only adds value to your home, it also makes it a lot easier to sell if you looking to do that. * Saving Money - The cost of reglazing a bathtub is far more affordable than the cost of replacing the tub completely. * Fewer Disruptions - Reglazing a bathtub is done right in the bathroom so you don't have to avoid using your bathroom or the rest of your home while it's being done. * Remodeling Alternative - These are results that cannot be achieved with simple cleaning or even DIY repairs, making reglazing a bathtub a suitable option for those with deteriorating tubs.

“This partnership agreement is a natural extension of our recent acquisition and our continued manufacturing of OPTEL’s pharma track-and-trace technology stack,” explained Louis Roy, Founder and President at OPTEL Group while visiting OPTEL’s newly acquired site in Feldkirchen, Germany.
Dr. Jürgen Krebs, Chief Technology Officer and Chief Operating Officer for Körber’s Business Area Pharma, echoed Roy’s sentiments. “It is the perfect fit for both companies. We believe that the value our businesses bring to the table will allow customers to elevate their compliance to the industry’s strict regulatory and safety standards—all while giving them the equipment they need to boost operational intelligence and efficiency.”
Since its founding in 1989, OPTEL Group has become the world’s foremost provider of track-and-trace solutions to the pharmaceutical industry. It is uniquely positioned as the only global company with the ability to provide complete, full-stack supply chain traceability. | <urn:uuid:613e5976-2468-4f4e-a35b-a6b7ffa5b11f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://baviere-quebec.org/en/optel-und-koerber-unterzeichnen-globale-partnerschaftserklaerung/ | 2023-09-27T13:05:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.912204 | 337 |
The most successful companies in all industries are applying strict logistics management principles in every compartment of their operations. Nothing is left to change or left out of scrutiny when it comes to evaluating how the transportation and logistics costs impact the company’s budget and how much waste the company generates through its manufacturing and distribution activities.
If your company is trying to reduce logistics cost, but it has not yet reached the desired level of supply chain optimization, here are the top five reasons why you should consider hiring a professional logistics management company:
1. Reduce Logistic Cost by 50%
Given the previous experience of professional logistics companies in dealing with clients, they estimate that implementing lean manufacturing, sustainable packaging and logistics principles helps them reduce their overall costs with logistics by half. The implementation of logistics management procedures involves everything from rethinking the way products are handled, packaged and stored to the implementation of automated manufacturing systems.
2. Reduce The Quantity of Waste
Companies generate a lot of waste – some of which they are not aware of, because it is their end client’s job to recycle one-way packages. One of the key elements of logistics management is reducing costs and creating sustainable packaging solutions which are reliable, reusable and help both the company and its clients reduce the quantity of waste generated by the activity.
3. Apply Lean Manufacturing Principles
Besides reducing the quantity of waste, lean manufacturing focuses on increasing productivity, minimizing lost time due to unnecessary handling of products from the assembly line to the warehouse and then to the shipping trailers. This logistics management principle which originated in Japan is now the backbone of many successful companies which have implemented strategic work procedures to help employees be more efficient in their work and to help promote a corporate culture based on collaboration and open sharing of ideas.
4. Improve Your Company’s Image among Clients
Companies which managed to optimize their logistics and supply chain management and reduce their overall logistic cost will reduce the manufacturing costs of their products. Thus, they can offer to their clients more competitive prices and stay ahead of their competition. Adequate logistics management is not only about cutting costs, but also staying successful and relevant in an ever increasing competitive business environment.
5. Earning More Goodwill for Your Company
In today’s business environment a positive public image is the key to attract valuable partnerships and endorsements from industry thought leaders. This goodwill can bring to your company the kind of exposure it needs to convince potential clients to do business with you. By implementing the right logistics management and supply chain optimization principles, your company will promote the image of a modern and adaptable business which cares for its clients and the environment and promotes a solid and sustainable business model. | <urn:uuid:c90e89a8-469e-4a10-b569-1b2f11e0f55a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://bcepe.cn/5-key-reasons-why-your-company-needs-professional-logistics-management-servicesdomestic-waste/ | 2023-09-27T12:33:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.959613 | 539 |

Just because you’re tiny doesn’t mean you can’t make an impact. That’s the mentality of Norbert, a 3-lb. social media star and beloved therapy dog.
Shortly after rescuing the furry little pup in 2009, it became quite apparent to Julie Steines that the newest addition to her household was meant for bigger things. Norbert has an uncanny ability to elicit a smile and lift the spirits of those around him. So when she got him certified to become a therapy dog, he was an instant hit.
Aside from regularly visiting the staff at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, Norbert also makes appearances at nursing homes. He’s acquired a network of 1.2 million online followers, which Steines affectionately refers to as “The Norberthood.” The gushing pet parent regularly cheers up Norbert’s fans with frequent posts that document his daily adventures.
PawCulture caught up with Norbert’s owner to find out more about the number one canine in her life:
PawCulture: How did Norbert come into your life?
Julie Steines: Norbert is my first dog. In 2009, I adopted him as a puppy through PetFinder. He was dark brown, with curly fur, and a head that looked too big for his tiny body. When I called the woman who listed him on the website, I got a synchronistic feeling that this would be my dog. The moment I saw Norbert, I knew he was special. This began our happily ever after.
PawCulture: What is Norbert’s personality like?
Steines: Norbert is incredibly smart, adorable, quirky and endearingly sensitive to the needs others. He makes people smile wherever he goes just by being himself. Norbie is a small dog with a huge heart.
PawCulture: How did Norbert become such a social media sensation?
Steines: The Norberthood, as we call Norbie’s followers, is an amazing virtual place and state-of-mind. We love reading the comments from folks who are touched and inspired by Norbert. They make us smile, just like Norbert makes them smile. It is a beautiful relationship. The Norberthood has grown slowly and organically over the past six years to now over 1.2 million people.
PawCulture: What is a typical day in his life like?
Steines: During a typical day, Norbert enjoys napping, eating, sharing quality couch time, oh—did I mention eating? He loves food, all food, but I am very careful about what he eats. Since he is so tiny, everything that goes in Norbie’s tiny body is important. I take a lot of photos of Norbert—a real lot. Norb enjoys it because there are always dog treats involved and lots of belly rubs. My husband, Mark Steines, is an incredible photographer. We have spent many cherished hours photographing Norbert together.
PawCulture: What motivated you to want to make Norbert a therapy dog?
Steines: While I knew Norbert was a special dog, I never anticipated he would become such a symbol of joy, hope, and inspiration to so many people. When Norbert was just a puppy, a woman saw him and told me he would make a great registered therapy dog. Since I knew nothing about pet therapy, I immediately looked into it. I worked to train Norbert and when he turned one year old, he passed a test to become a Canine Good Citizen. Soon after, Norbert became a registered therapy dog with Pet Partners and also a R.E.A.D. dog with the Intermountain Therapy Animals. We began volunteering at a nursing home to bring comfort to those in need.
Since then, Norbert has volunteered at nursing homes, hospitals, schools and charity events. In addition to donating his time, Norbert donates copies of his books, plush toys and money to support causes that align with his mission of kindness and compassion. Every two years, we are required to become re-certified as a therapy animal team, which entails a variety of tests such as obedience and predictability.
PawCulture: What does Norbert love most about the therapy visits?
Steines: Every therapy visit is unique and special. Over the years, there have been so many moments that have touched our hearts and made us deeply grateful for the work we do, the lives we touch, and the people we meet. I consider Norbert’s presence on social media an extension of therapy work we do in person. Each month, we get tens of thousands of comments, emails, private messages, and snail mail from people telling us how Norbert has helped or inspired them. We consider this a great honor and humbling responsibility to continue to spread the positive, inspiring messages of the Norberthood.
PawCulture: What do patients love most about Norbert?
Steines: His size, quirkiness, amazingly adorable face and the way he lovingly responds to a person in need of comfort. He embodies all that is wonderful about the human-animal connection. Norbert loves [volunteering] because he gets snuggles, treats, and lots of smiles. I believe Norbert senses that he is a source of positive energy for others. People of all ages find his presence uplifting.
PawCulture: What is Norbert’s main goal as a therapy dog?
Steines: Norbert’s goal is simple: to spread smiles and show that you don’t need to be big to make a big and positive difference in the world.

NORTEL AND THE FUTURE OF NETWORKS
NOTE: This project was an internal case study designed to explore the charette model, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Nortel Networks. It was intended to develop a structure for subsequent explorations.
As a company with a longstanding history as a pioneer and visionary in its industry, Nortel has in recent years been dogged by fiscal mismanagement, a series of short-lived CEO’s and a lack of the cohesive leadership values and vision that once made it Canada’s premiere business. In order to return to prominence, Nortel needs an image overhaul in addition to a positive management strategy. And it must be more than PR posturing: this new perception must be built on doing, not just saying.
The technological side of Nortel is one of the strongest in the industry, regardless of management issues, and must be leveraged to re-create the culture of trust and stability that still exists with their highest level consumers. They demonstrate their passion for innovation in their strong funding of R&D and are already dedicated to a strategy of unifying their product line with their communication line. All they need is a vision of why.

Logan Kalford was Wren Summers’ dream come true.
All I’d ever wanted was to fall in love and be loved in return.
Logan stole my heart when I least expected it. He was sexy, adventurous, and the way he played guitar left me weak in the knees. He made me happy. He made me think I’d found the one.
And he made me believe in happy endings.
I knew he was my forever. I thought he knew it too.
I was wrong.
He destroyed everything I thought we had and shattered my dreams of us. He left me heartbroken. He made me doubt myself.
And he didn’t even seem to care…
Now I must let go. But how can I when he still consumes me?
How do you walk away from what you know was real?
I was given this book by author for honest review. Bria Starr brings Wren and Logan to life with supporting characters Cassidy and Zach. I gotta say that I liked Zach a lot and that he needs his own story. Logan and Wren did some turns that I felt like slapping and telling them both to grow up. The ending was a surprise all on its own.
About the Author:
Bria Starr grew up in a small town in Minnesota and continues to live there with her husband and beautiful baby girl. She’s a stay at home mom who is very close with her family, loves junk food, and is always cold.

In February of 2016 the new site, located just outside the city of Ouarzazate in the Sahara Desert, began harvesting energy via concentrating solar power (CSP.)
CSP costs a little more than the traditional photovoltaic solar panels but allows power to be stored during night-time or cloudy days, offering a more reliable power supply.
The power is stored inside a giant cylinder of salt in the form of heat.
The project received financial backing from the World Bank Clean Technology Fund, and aims to reduce carbon emissions by an estimated 760,000 tons per year by 2018.
Congratulations to Morocco and to the team behind this awesome initiative, we hope this really kick-starts the solar race. | <urn:uuid:dcb56856-1007-49ff-9576-a3cb549ef3bf> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://bec.studio/solar-sahara/ | 2023-09-27T11:22:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.949321 | 146 |
Cadets at the Anaheim Police Department do it all, from running the front counter to working in forensics, personnel, auto theft, homicide, and more.
In fact, the department’s 40-plus cadets assist officers and command staff in nearly all the agency’s details.
“(The cadets are) a pretty tremendous asset for the unit,” said Sgt. Jeff Mundy, who oversees the homicide unit. “They handle a lot of different tasks.”
They start at the front counter in a fast-paced, customer service position, and once they are comfortable with the wide range of duties and public requests they can be assigned to a specific detail – but still spend at least a day per week at the counter to keep their skills sharp.
The cadets, all college students working part-time at the police department, are put in the best possible position to gain work experience and connect with others in the field. As the face of the department at the front counter, they must present themselves professionally at all times.
“Sometimes when we’re at the front counter people will come in and they’ll ask us why we look so young or how as a college student we have the knowledge to be able to fix their problem,” Cadet Jillian Klotz said. “I think it’s that interesting piece of being able to show that we have the knowledge that can assist them.”
It’s a challenging job where anything can happen.
Cadet Geraldi Armas, 22, was working the counter when a man entered the crowded lobby with a machete in his pocket. She turned on her body-worn camera and asked everyone to move to the side of the lobby as other cadets contacted dispatch.
“He just had it in his pocket and it turned out that he was drunk,” said Armas, who is now stationed at the Orange County Family Justice Center (OCFJC). “The officers dealt with it very quickly.”
Teamwork among the cadets is what allows these incidents to end safely and smoothly. They train and practice at least once a month to handle all sorts of events.
“What’s nice is you’re working with everybody as a team and you all are so much alike,” Homicide Cadet Austin Brown said. “You all know that you have something to accomplish here today, so you all work together really well to make sure that it gets done the best way possible.”
Charting a future career
Armas, who grew up in Anaheim, joined the Explorer program at age 16 and was inspired to change her goal from a military career to law enforcement.
On the OCFJC detail, Armas helps at the front desk, where she assists victims of family crime and sexual assault in getting temporary restraining orders, finding emergency housing, and connecting with other resources.
“I love the fact that I get to help my community and I really give a face that people recognize that maybe will comfort them,” she said.
She also handles discovery requests for court cases, warrant packets for detectives, and anything else that’s needed.
“I’ve learned so much,” Armas said. “It’s a lot of understanding people, being empathetic, respect. Respect goes a long way, even to people that might not show that back to you.”
Before joining the OCFJC detail she worked with at-risk kids through the Anaheim Cops 4 Kids program. She is inspired by seeing her friends in the Explorer and cadet programs start their careers in law enforcement and elsewhere.
“I love building these connections,” Armas said. “Especially being part of an agency like Anaheim that’s full of hardworking, dedicated, amazing people. I feel very grateful and lucky.”
Becoming the ideal new hire
Forensic Services Cadet Crystal Beall worked at the OCFJC detail before transferring into forensics, where she hopes to spend her career. Beall was recently hired as a full-time employee in the forensics unit.
“It’s become such a competitive field because everyone is interested in true crime and mysteries and solving crimes,” Beall said. “I had to do something to give me that competitive edge… This is, I feel like, my home. I’m committed to this agency.”
Beall was a history major at Cal State Long Beach when she discovered forensic science. She was telling her department chair that she wasn’t interested in a doctorate in history or a career in the field when the chair suggested adding a forensic studies minor.
“Once I took my Criminal Justice 101, I knew,” Beall recalls. “This is so interesting. There are so many different career paths that you can take within law enforcement…so I started taking those forensic classes and then I realized this is exactly what I’ve been looking for but hadn’t found.”
Beall has certificates in basic applied forensic science and crime analysis, and crime scene investigation, in addition to her bachelor’s degree in history and minor in forensic studies.
At the Anaheim Police Department, Beall tackled myriad duties in the forensic services detail. She managed digital evidence, made CDs and DVDs for court cases, organized fingerprint cabinets, assigned fingerprint analysis and firearm processing (for DNA and prints) to forensic scientists, maintained lab supplies, and photographed important events such as promotions and swearing-in ceremonies.
“We’re very fortunate here,” Beall said. “Anaheim allows us to do so much and has that trust and faith in us that we will do it.”
Personnel Cadet Tommy Mang was encouraged to seek a future in law enforcement by several adults during his high school years. First, it was his best friend’s dad, a pilot for the Los Angeles Police Department.
“He saw the quality traits in me and he said I’ll make a good police officer one day,” Mang recalls. His girlfriend’s dad, an Orange County Sheriff’s Department deputy, also encouraged him to become an officer. When a classmate suggested he join the Anaheim Police Department’s cadet program, Mang discovered they were right. He’s now been a cadet for nearly two years, and also coaches at Edison High School in Huntington Beach.
“I love it here,” Mang said. “I love coming to work every day. I love working with the background investigators. It’s fun.”
Mang enjoys the challenge of learning new things. He remembers his first weeks as a cadet, watching carefully as instructors explained how to take a police report. Since then, he’s mastered most tasks at the front counter and is now part of the personnel department preparing for officer and promotion testing; taking LiveScans for new hires; creating access cards, police and retired IDs; setting up the police agility test space; and speaking at cadet orientation.
“I learn something new every day and I get to work with like-minded individuals that have the same goals or similar goals as me to succeed,” Mang said. “This job has given me many opportunities and has really opened my eyes to law enforcement that I would have never gotten if I just studied it through a textbook. It gives me real life experiences, experiences I can talk about, experiences that I can learn from.”
Like Armas, Mang has built life-long friendships at the Anaheim Police Department.
“I’ve seen a lot of my peers get hired as a police officer and it’s just very humbling,” said Mang, who has associate degrees in liberal arts and criminal justice, and is working toward a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice. “My ultimate goal is to be a police officer.”
Giving cadets access to the variety of jobs at the police department generates interest in law enforcement careers and provides them with valuable work experience.
“We’ve had several homicide cadets that have ended up becoming officers with Anaheim and other agencies,” Mundy said. “To see somebody actually get hired and be successful in their career is pretty cool.”
Shared passions and goals
Brown, a homicide cadet, has wanted to be a police officer for as long as he can remember, to follow in the footsteps of his father, a SWAT officer with the Los Angeles Police Department.
Brown was inspired by “knowing how much job satisfaction he gets from his job and hearing the stories.”
He’s been a cadet for more than two years and is a political science major at Cal State San Marcos with a minor in sociology. He hopes to join the homicide detail one day as a full-time officer. As a cadet, he spends most of his time working on discovery requests for homicide cases.
“It’s a big responsibility,” Brown said. “It is your job to get that evidence to the court.”
Having a cadet handle discovery requests can save a detective a half-day’s work, allowing them to focus that time on an active case, Mundy said, which makes the unit more efficient.
“It really does decrease the burden on (the detectives),” Mundy said.
When Brown is not working on discoveries he converts cold cases from audio and video tapes and handles miscellaneous requests from the detectives.
“It’s pretty different every day,” Brown said. “I just try to help them out as much as I can so that the officers can focus as much as they can on their investigations, and anything I could take off their plate, I’m happy to do.”
Working at the Anaheim Police Department, Brown said, forces cadets to mature quickly.
“You have a lot of responsibility here,” he said. “You may have somebody who’s twice your age at the front counter and you’re solving their problems for them… We treat everybody with the greatest respect we can.”
Variety in every day
Klotz, a burglary and auto theft cadet, chose her detail carefully. She requested the burglary and auto theft detail when she learned about the variety of criminal cases the group handles, including burglary, auto theft, vandalism, arson, animal cruelty, and more.
“Our detectives are inundated with work,” said Sgt. Darrin Lee, who oversees the unit. “We’re just one small section of the police department, but we handle over half the cases for our city.”
The unit’s eight detectives were getting backed up due to the large caseload coming in, Lee said, so when Klotz created a system where she reviews the cases in each detective’s queue and filters them by priority and the needed follow-up work, the unit was thrilled.
“One detective indicated it was a game changer for him because he got to clear several cases based on her efforts,” Lee said. He wrote a commendation for Klotz for her excellent work. “I like the fact she stepped out of the box and found ways to help.”
“We’ve got over 2,000 cases… so every little thing she can do helps,” Lee said.
One of the best things about being a cadet, Klotz said, is being able to go on ride-alongs with the officers. On slow days, the officers work with her on mock traffic stops and arrest and control tactics.
“That gives me that in-field experience of being able to get out and actually deal with people one-on-one, face-to-face, without being behind the cover and being able to actually compassionately talk to somebody and see how the investigation goes when the suspect is there versus when they’re not,” Klotz said.
Like Brown, Klotz comes from a family of law enforcement, and she chose that path at an early age. She’s working toward a criminal justice degree with a minor in forensic science from Cal State Long Beach.
In her detail, Klotz files cases through the District Attorney’s online system, creates PIO videos asking for public assistance finding suspects using surveillance footage, and visits other agencies working on the same cases to collect evidence. She also developed a case log to organize the detectives’ queues.
“It’s helped make cases be solved a little quicker,” Klotz said. “That’s probably the biggest accomplishment.”
Klotz, an avid equestrienne, hopes to one day join the Anaheim Police Department’s Mounted Enforcement Unit.
“I’m actually very, very glad that I put in at Anaheim,” Klotz said. | <urn:uuid:585c0ebf-a7e4-4cfe-a8a1-070b626e055f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://behindthebadge.com/anaheim-cadets-work-variety-of-details-from-homicide-to-personnel/ | 2023-09-27T12:09:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.968907 | 2,760 |

Scripture Reference Ephesians 6 : 12
12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
In Gen. 18 we read of Abraham’s intercession for the people of Sodom and Gomorrah, 17 Then the Lord said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do? 18 Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and all nations on earth will be blessed through him. 19 For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing what is right and just, so that the Lord will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him.” 20 Then the Lord said, “The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous 21 that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know.” 22 The men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the Lord. 23 Then Abraham approached him and said: “Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked? 24 What if there are fifty righteous people in the city? Will you really sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous people in it? 25 Far be it from you to do such a thing—to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?”
God does not want to hide His plans from His people. If we are “uninformed” it is not because God is hiding His intentions from us, however there may be something blocking us from hearing and knowing His plan. We speak of the fullness of God’s revelation to us through the Lord Jesus Christ and yet we also speak as though God is hiding His plans from us. We have the complete revelation of God through the Incarnate Son, we lack nothing from God as to the potential for knowing and experiencing Him, yet so very many believe they are lacking the fullness of God’s revelation experientially.
If God spoke with Abraham in this way thousands of years prior to the Incarnation then how is it that the children of God this side of Calvary struggle with what they might refer to as the hiddenness of God?
Faith is at the root of it. Abraham was called the father of faith because he chose to believe God over all the evidence the world, the flesh, and the devil threw at him to undermine that faith! Abraham not only said he believed God, he acted upon that belief in ways that most would simply refuse to do. God wanted to reveal to His servant precisely what He was planning on doing to bring him into His redemptive purposes and the same is true to this very day!
Here in this exchange, Abraham is given the honor of interceding for a nation! Has not God given to you the same honor? Who else will intercede for this sinful nation if you refuse to? The question Abraham asked the Lord, “Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?” is easily and rightly answered in the affirmative! Yes! we can be 100 percent certain that God will always do what is right, every single time! Abraham boldly approached the Lord with his petitions for God to have mercy! Were Sodom and Gomorrah wicked to the core? Yes! Yes they were seemingly beyond redemption, yet the man of God, the man of Faith still persevered in prayer for them!
Do not give up petitioning God for this nation of Canada! The righteous judge will always do what is right! He has not and is not hiding His plans from His people! Faith is the key that unlocks the secrets of heaven! | <urn:uuid:d71cc134-30c3-4c44-9eb5-7f7326fe9337> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://belhavenchurch.ca/the-righteous-judge-will-always-do-what-is-right/ | 2023-09-27T11:52:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.972595 | 823 |

What is the DVSA?
The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency DVSA provides a range of licensing, testing and enforcement services with the aim of improving the roadworthiness standards of vehicles, ensuring the compliance of operators and drivers, and supporting the independent Traffic Commissioners.
Each coach operation in the industry has a DVSA officer monitoring and managing compliance of their fleet maintenance.
For the past decade Belle Vue’s communication with their local officer has resulted in safer maintenance systems, new operational garages, investment in maintenance facilities and staff training which all contribute for the GREEN DVSA score we operate with today.
DVSA have a traffic light scoring system when it comes to grading operators maintenance. DVSA measurement scores in Red, Amber and Green results. Red is dangerous, Amber is average and Green is good for go, meaning safe and roadworthy.
Our highly geared workshops and staff training make our vehicle maintenance safe and reliable in carrying over a million passengers every year.
Our GREEN score with DVSA is based off the following..
Quality Management - All our operations are certified to ISO9001 quality status. Our management systems have a finely documented and executed plan from start to finish. Our fleet consists of a modern range of vehicles that are professionally managed across the board to ensure maximum performance and reliability. Our network of approved operators are screened and audited resulting in a coach hire management system that can handle a single transport movement to a large multi vehicle transport event.
The OCRS Rating with the DVSA is the best way to assess an operators Vehicle Maintenance safety. This is measured by the DVSA and scored like a traffic light system based on vehicle MOT pass rate and roadside inspections. Scoring goes… Green for good, Yellow for average, and red for dangerous! Ask for your copy of the OCRS rating of a prospective operator you are going to hire. We’re Green for Go!
Insurance Claims Record. This measures the numbers of claims and accidents in a year. Anything above 60% is below average. 40% or less is good. 20% or less really well managed. We normally operate between 0-30% on average. We have a constant training plan to improve driver behaviour. We monitor CCTV and we improve weekly operations eliminating potential accident occurrence.
Audits. We have a number of audits every year that we pass with flying colours. These are all documented and ensure we are compliant. Ask for your copy.
DBS Service. Check out the Disclosure and Barring Service on staff. All our team are DBS checked and passed.
Policies. All our policies are to ISO standards. ISO9001 for Quality, ISO14001 for Environment and ISO45001 for Health & Safety.
CCTV – All our fleet has CCTV fitted for monitoring and training purposes.
Tracking – all our fleet is tracked ensuring safer driving standards. Our tracking system records driving behaviour resulting in the highest standards of performance and our records prove it.
Roadside Breakdown. It is highly unlikely you will ever break down on a coach. However, we have a Roadside Assistance evacuation cover across Europe. 60 minutes in the UK and 90 minutes in Europe.
Reliability - We carry 2 million passengers every year. We do this by having policies and systems that are self-improving. Mistakes made in the past have been ironed out with new systems and operating procedures resulting in an enhanced service. Humans are prone to occasionally make mistakes. By having systems in place, it enables us to correct the mistakes before they affect the service.
We operate a best practice attitude when it comes to safety and compliance and we tick every box.

By Mark Trolice, M.D.
Women aren’t the only ones with a proverbial biological clock.
Despite many misconceptions and misperceptions, men are affected by infertility at almost the same rate as women. Not only that, as men age, their sperm is impacted—affecting the length of time it takes to get pregnant, the mother’s health during pregnancy, chances of miscarriage, and even health of the baby.
Only recently have any large-scale studies focused entirely on the impact of older fathers. One of the most recent and largest studies analyzed more than 40.5 million births at the Stanford University School of Medicine, concluding that “more than 12 percent of births to fathers aged 45 years or older with adverse outcomes might have been prevented were the fathers younger.”
The Stanford researchers also found that men over age 40-45:
· Take five times as long to impregnate their partner compared with men under 25;
· Are 14 percent more likely than men in their 20s and 30s to have children born prematurely with a low birth weight;
· As the fathers’ ages increased, their babies were more likely to need help with breathing and require neonatal intensive care;
· Have a higher chance of the mother getting gestational diabetes;
· Have a higher chance of the mother miscarrying, and;
· Have a higher chance of children being born with birth defects, autism and mental health disorders like bipolar and schizophrenia.
We are learning more and more about the impact of older fathers as the rate of births to men 40 and over continues to rise. Since the 1970s, the birth rate to men over 40 has doubled to about 9 percent as of 2015.
While women are born with their lifetime supply of eggs, men start making sperm at puberty and continue this for the rest of their lives. As women age, declining egg quantity and quality puts them at increasing risk for infertility, miscarriages and having children with health problems due to chromosomal abnormalities, such as Down’s syndrome.
While women are technically considered fertile until menopause, their monthly odds of pregnancy decline from 20 percent at age 30 to 5 percent at age 40…until it eventually hits zero. These same ages see a miscarriage rate rise from 10 percent to 33 percent and continue to rise with her age.
Because sperm production doesn’t end, it was long believed that men would remain fertile their entire lives, without age having a significant impact on length of time to conceive or the mother and child’s health.
Causes of Male Infertility
About 12 percent of women in the U.S. between the ages of 15 to 44 have difficulty getting pregnant or carrying a pregnancy to term, with the cause equally divided between men and women at about 40 percent. In about 33 percent of couples with infertility, both a male and female cause is found.
The most common causes of male infertility include abnormal sperm production, function or delivery. Other causes include overexposure to certain pesticides or chemicals; significant alcohol, tobacco or marijuana use, and; the use of particular medications like anabolic steroids, antihypertensives and some types of antibiotics. Additionally, radiation and chemotherapy treatments for cancer can cause infertility by significantly impairing sperm production.
Can Men Optimize Their Fertility?
There are ways for men to protect and maximize their fertility:
Body weight. Higher body weight is linked with decreasing both sperm count and motility.
Diet. Choose plenty of fruits and vegetables, which are rich in antioxidants, especially vitamin C, vitamin E and CoQ10, to improve sperm quantity and quality.
Manage stress. Stress can cause lower sperm function and sexual performance anxiety – think stage fright! If you are experiencing stress with difficulty conceiving – and who isn’t? – reach out to your partner and/or a counselor for health coping strategies and stress-reduction techniques.
Exercise. Moderate physical activity can have positive or neutral effects on sperm, but intensive exercise can reduce sperm function. So, remember there’s a sweet spot with exercise intensity.
Don’t smoke. Men who smoke cigarettes inhale passive smoke are more likely to have impaired sperm and higher rates of genetically damaged sperm.
Limit alcohol. While there is debate on alcohol’s effect on sperm, prolonged abuse can cause impotence.
Talk to your doctor about medications. Many medications impact fertility, including calcium channel blockers (reduce fertilization), testosterone and anabolic steroids.
Avoid exposure to toxins. Exposure to environmental toxins, especially phthalates (used in many plastics and hundreds of products) may reduce sperm function.
Stay cool. Increased temperature to the scrotum can impair sperm production. Wear loose-fitting underwear, avoid saunas and hot tubs and limit scrotum exposure to warm objects (such as laptops.)

Commercial & Garage Gym Seal Row Tutorial For an Ultra Instinct Back (2019)
Today I’m gonna show you why you should be using the Seal Row in your training and how you can make your own seal row bench in a commercial or garage gym.
I’m a training minimalist, primarily I focus on 6 movements that I collectively call the Super Saiyan 6 (grab the book here)
Within those 6 includes the barbell row, an excellent exercise worthy of being in any training program. My favourite variant of this row is named the seal row, It’s a really fun movement that I don’t see too often and it functions as a direct antagonist to the bench press.
Here's what you need to know to set up your own Seal Row:

Traditional business schools will be hard put in churning out graduates who will have the functional expertise as well as the leadership qualities such as people development, strategic thinking and institution building. There can be a veritable free flow of management personnel from the Philippines to such emerging markets as Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia and Thailand (that is suffering from acute shortages of manpower on all fronts because of a premature demographic crisis). One is reminded of the way Indonesian conglomerates depended on the leading accounting firm SGV in the last century to provide a supply of accountants, auditors and financial executives, many of whom are still residing in Indonesia. A prime example of the Filipino expats in Indonesia is Manuel V. Pangilinan who worked for the Salim group, one of the largest conglomerate in Indonesia.
How will the AEC obtain a quick supply of experienced managers and executives? The answer may be found in the May 18, 2015 issue of the Financial Times Business Education supplement. In a series of articles accompanying the annual ranking of executive education programs all over the world, a clear trend of traditional business schools towards the executive education market was clearly identified. In the Editor’s Letter of the issue, Della Bradshaw recalled that in 2005, the Financial Times already foresaw that the MBA market was facing a shakeout: “Academic pursuits not based on reality.” What businesses were looking for were executive education programs that addressed the need for their own managers to upgrade their ability to lead their respective organizations. In fact, more and more of the “star professors” of these business schools were earning huge sums by “telling executives how to develop a coherent strategy in a rapidly changing world, be relevant to customers and make money. Much of this they do under the rubric of the executive short courses that are the subject of this magazine.” As MBA programs become less relevant to the immediate needs of business for leader-managers, the top business schools are offering more and more of these short customized or open programs for practising executives.
I am not surprised that in the most recent survey of the Financial Times, the IESE Business School has been ranked over-all Number One, also Number One in customized programs and Number 3 in the open rank. Overall, Harvard is ranked Number Six just one rank behind the London Business School. The only Asian business schools ranked among the top 50 are the China Europe International Business School (CEIBS) No. 22, Peking University, Guanghua No. 45 and Indian Institute of Management: Bangalore No. 48. It can be pointed out that CEIBS received a lot of help from the IESE Business School in the initial stages of its development in Shanghai. As a Visiting Professor of the IESE Business School, I have seen IESE rise from its humble beginnings in the late fifties (with the help of the Harvard Business School) to its premier position today by giving the highest priority to executive education rather than the MBA. Its very first program was an Advanced Management Program for owners of businesses and CEOs of Spanish and European enterprises. Only much later in its existence did it develop a world-class MBA program.
In the Philippines, a leading academic institution in both customized and open programs for executive education is the Ateneo University. Its professional schools have developed a diversity of in-house and open programs for executives of leading national and multinational enterprises in the Philippines. Other educational institutions that have already diversified into executive education programs are the Asian Institute of Management and the De La Salle University. With the help of the IESE Business School, the University of Asia and the Pacific is entering the executive education market to address the needs for new leaders who can be promoted to take over a wider and expanded role in the organization. Many of these leaders will have to come from the departmental heads, such as supervisors, assistant managers and executive assistant. While these potential leaders may be competent in their respective specializations, they usually lack the knowledge and skills of managing people from different functional areas. The in-company training program being offered by UA&P to business enterprises in the Metro Manila area is designed to meet this need.
The Master of Science in Management is being offered as an in-house executive education that can be customized to the needs of each corporation. It is a modular program that is spread over a two-year period. The participant my opt to finish after a year with a certificate in Business Management or he/she can opt to proceed to the second year, which, upon satisfactory completion of all academic requirements will lead to a Master of Science in Management. Classes will be offered on a pre-agreed company time, provided that classes will be given three times a week, three hours per session. Classes will be held within company premises. The program delivery consists of qualified and experienced faculty and dynamic and highly interactive teaching methods, which include case studies, group discussions, simulations, presentations and lectures. The benefits of the Program are obvious: It is convenient for the participants because it will be held within company premises and on pre-agreed company time; the Program provides gradual learning as it builds up learning from knowing how firms operate and interact with its environment to formulating and analyzing strategies and finally, to how leaders can make their firms compete and influence its environment. The Program also provides a unique mentoring system that will guide participants individually all throughout the course. For those who will make the extra effort among the participants, the Program can lead to a master’s degree in management science.
The ultimate in executive education that IESE professors will deliver to CEOs, owners and business and senior executives in the ASEAN region is the Advanced Management Program (the AMP) that will start its fourth offering on September 21, 2015 in Manila. The AMP takes a general but strategic focus on key business, industry and global issues that will shape the future business landscape and thinking in Southeast Asia. From this perspective, the AMP participants will be equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to capitalize on the opportunities offered by the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) as it interacts with the rest of the global community, especially the largest emerging markets of today, China and India.

The Justice Department admitted they have approached this issue the wrong way, and now say they have a plan to go after banking criminals.
Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates says the Department will hone in on individuals in a bid to deter banking crimes in the future.
Yates also while it is impossible to put a company in prison, looking at the actions of individuals will assist in bringing more accountability into banking.
Going forward, the plan is to have companies turn over the names of suspected banking criminals so prosecutions are able to take place, should there be sufficient evidence.
In his speeches, Bernie Sanders has made a point of mentioning that while thousands of Americans are in prison for using small amounts of drugs, not one banker on Wall Street is in prison for their actions surrounding the Global Financial Crisis. | <urn:uuid:f55ce764-1d4a-4f19-aa53-e9012cb3c65b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://berniepost.com/2015/09/wall-street-bankers-might-soon-be-in-prison/ | 2023-09-27T13:00:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.962681 | 160 |

La Combe des Fous 2015 (Magnum)Clos Saint Jean
€ 143,99 (in Vat)
|Brand||Clos Saint Jean|
Robert Parker (93)
A healthy 25% of this cuvée is Syrah aged in new oak, which impacts the aromas and flavors of the 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape La Combe des Fous in a substantial way. Baking spices and vanilla are apparent, but there are plenty of bold red-fruit flavors to balance them out. The one wobble is that the alcohol (a whopping 16%) shows through a bit on the finish. I'd opt for drinking this plush, voluptuous wine over the near term.
This pumps out dark currant, plum and raspberry pâte de fruit flavors along with notes of licorice root, ganache and warm fruitcake. Densely packed, but the details are still evident through the graphite-fueled finish. Impressive. | <urn:uuid:30009a83-8cd5-4110-9c50-b291e8e4521c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://bestofwines.com/wine/france/rhone/clos-saint-jean/la-combe-des-fous/la-combe-des-fous-2015-magnum.htm | 2023-09-27T11:42:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.768746 | 304 |

Biotin is a popular natural health and beauty supplement used to support healthy hair, skin and nails. When used in hair growth shampoos, biotin promotes vibrant, shinier, healthier and stronger hair. While more research is needed to determine the clinical efficacy of biotin used topically for hair regrowth, the before-and-after pictures posted by biotin shampoo users are often stunning and speak for themselves.
Read on to learn more about what to consider when shopping for a biotin shampoo to meet your hair goals. Check out this top recommendation for biotin shampoo, HairGenics Pronexa Clinical Strength Hair Regrowth Therapy Shampoo With Biotin, which nourishes your hair and promotes thickness and growth with all-natural ingredients.
Biotin is a B vitamin that occurs naturally in foods like eggs, meats and whole grains and plays an important role in your metabolism. Biotin supports your body’s production of keratin, which is the basic protein that makes up your hair, nails and skin. This is why biotin is a popular supplement for clearer skin, stronger nails and thicker hair.
While biotin shampoo is made to increase the health and thickness of all hair types, specific formulas work better than others for various types of hair. When selecting the right biotin shampoo for you, consider the current state of your hair. What are your desired results?
If you’re looking for a volumizing shampoo, select a biotin shampoo formulated for volumizing. Take special caution if your hair is thinning. Volumizing shampoos are not recommended for thinning hair, as they may make your hair appear thinner.
Scent is an important consideration when selecting a shampoo because the fragrance in your shampoo will stick in your hair throughout the day.
If you tend to avoid fragrances in your health and beauty products due to a sensitivity to scents, select an unscented biotin shampoo or one scented with essential oils rather than synthetic fragrances.
You should avoid sulfates when selecting any shampoo or conditioner. According to Healthline, sulfates may strip your hair of healthy oils and lead to dullness and frizz.
Sulfates may be listed in the ingredients of your shampoo as sodium laureth sulfate, ammonium lauryl sulfate or sodium lauryl ether sulfate, so watch out for all three of these when selecting a sulfate-free biotin shampoo.
Look for biotin shampoo certified organic by the USDA.
Some consumers choose to avoid parabens, a preservative found in many shampoos and other products, in order to avoid their alleged adverse effects on hormones. While the Center for Disease Control and Prevention indicates no known risks associated with the use of parabens in cosmetics, you can easily avoid this ingredient, if you choose, by looking for a paraben-free biotin shampoo.
Lastly, you should always check the ingredients of any hair product for formaldehyde, according to the Food and Drug Administration. Formaldehyde is also listed as formalin or as methylene glycol, so watch out for this toxic ingredient under any of these names.
Collagen: Collagen is a protein made up of amino acids which build keratin, the major building block of hair, skin and nails. Collagen is often used in conjunction with biotin in hair growth formulas because it’s believed to increase hair elasticity and prevent thinning.
Aloe vera: Aloe vera is a natural botanical ingredient that is used in a variety of both natural and over-the-counter health and beauty products. Aloe vera shampoo soothes itchy scalps and cleanses excess oil and residue from other products.
Argan oil: Argan oil is a moisturizing and reparative natural health and beauty ingredient from the fruit of the Argan tree in Morocco. According to Healthline, argan oil has many moisturizing and restorative benefits. Argan oil contains vitamin E, which has also been shown to increase hair growth.
Saw palmetto: Many biotin shampoos also include saw palmetto. Saw palmetto may relieve hair loss because it blocks 5-alpha-reductase, an enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT, the molecule responsible for hair loss, according to Healthline.
Biotin shampoo costs anywhere from $5 a bottle for drugstore brands to $60 for salon-quality formulas with concentrated natural ingredients. A mid-range biotin shampoo costs around $20 and should include biotin alongside other natural growth-promoting ingredients.
A. You should follow the manufacturer's instructions on your biotin shampoo. While some formulas are only intended to be used once or twice a week, some are indicated for use up to every day.
A. According to Healthline, biotin may assist in the regrowth of thinning hair, but how well biotin shampoos work for you depends on the reason for your hair loss, and there isn’t conclusive evidence as to whether biotin used topically thickens hair. When taken orally, biotin has been shown to combat thinning hair. Your best bet is to select a biotin shampoo that contains an array of nourishing and restorative natural ingredients and to select a biotin shampoo with a money-back guarantee if you’re concerned about whether biotin will work for you.
What you need to know: A nourishing and restorative regrowth formula with growth vitamins such as biotin, B5 and collagen formulated to banish dryness and promote shinier, thicker and healthier hair.
What you’ll love: Certified organic ingredients including aloe vera, collagen and saw palmetto provide a holistic approach to hair regrowth.
What you should consider: This shampoo costs a bit more than other biotin shampoos, and Hairgenics suggests using it for at least 6 months for best results, which could add up.
Where to buy: Sold by Amazon
What you need to know: Featuring a host of botanical ingredients like coconut and rosemary, this all-natural shampoo treats thinning or damaged hair without breaking the bank.

PayPal has launched Xoom, its international money transfer service, in Canada.
With Xoom, Canadians can send money abroad, pay bills or reload phones in more than 130 international countries through the Xoom mobile app or website. Customers will be able to send up to $12,500 CAD in a single transaction to countries like China, India and the Philippines.
Senders can choose whether to have the money deposited to the receiver’s bank account, available for cash pick-up at a bank or delivered directly to their door. Xoom transfers can be tracked via text updates, email notifications or through the mobile app and website.
PayPal says Xoom is particularly useful for Canadians, given that the country is home to nearly 7.5 million foreign-born people from over 200 places of birth. According to PayPal, sending money through a digital service like Xoom costs nearly half (3.93 percent) of the amount sent compared to the average cost of traditional remittances services (7.45 percent).
“The traditional methods of sending money abroad are slow, expensive and stressful for both the sender and the receiver. Senders are often faced with worry about when, or if, their money will reach their loved ones,” said Julian King, Xoom’s vice president and general manager, in a press statement.
“As a disruptive digital remittance provider, Xoom is helping to eliminate these inconveniences so it’s fast and easy for Canadians to send money abroad for cash pickups, bank deposits, reloading prepaid phones and paying bills for loved ones back home—all from the comfort of their homes or from their mobile devices.”

COMMENTARY: He has raced with some of the greatest drivers in stock car history. He has been nose to nose with The Intimidator. He helped make Jimmie Johnson a household name. He has four Championships in his 20 year Cup career. Since 1993, Jeff Gordon has been behind the wheel of the No.24 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet; winning races and competing for Championships. This season however, something seems different.Jun 2, 2013; Dover, DE, USA; NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Jeff Gordon (24) during the FedEx 400 Benefiting Autism Speaks at Dover International Speedway. Mandatory Credit: Matthew O
With 87 wins in 705 Cup starts spanning over 20 years, Jeff Gordon is one of the best the sport has ever had, but the last two seasons have not been the greatest for Gordon fans, or Gordon himself. Last season, Gordon squeezed himself a spot into the Chase at the last possible moment, edging out Kyle Busch for the last Wild Card spot. In 2012, Gordon had just two wins, one of them being the rain-shortened Pocono race.
Gordon’s other victory was overshadowed by the Championship Celebration with Brad Keselowski at Homestead-Miami to close out the 2012 season. That win was a good way to put a cap on what could easily be called one of Gordon’s worst seasons, ever. With five DNFs and multiple wrecks, it seemed like everything that could possibly happen to a driver on the track happened to Gordon.
With 12 finishes off of the lead lap, it was very unlike Gordon and his team to be struggling in the standings throughout the 2012 season; some also believed that Gordon would miss the Chase for the first time in his career. Until race 26 at Richmond, Gordon hadn’t cracked the top-10 in points, sitting as low as 25th in the standings.
Multiple malfunctions seemed to plague the No.24 team. Blown tires, expired engines and various other mechanical issues sent the team to the pits or the garage at races like Daytona, Darlington and Chicago. Even in Martinsville, where he led over half of the race, a late race crash sent him to a 14th place finish.
While most of Gordon’s issues in 2012 were out of his control, could something else be happening with one of the sports favorite drivers? Could Gordon be running out of steam and nearing the end of his career? In the 16 races so far in 2013, Gordon has four DNFs and currently sits 13th in points. While his points standing is significantly better than it was at this time last season, Gordon still seems to be struggling more than usual.
Hendrick Motorsports owner and founder Rick Hendrick announced this season that he has his eyes on Chase Elliott. In fact, he signed him to a multi-year deal that includes a full-time Nationwide Series run by next season. With a season or two in NASCARs second tier, Elliott will be ready to move to the Cup Series, but where would he go? With Jimmie Johnson, Kasey Kahne and Dale Earnhardt Jr. filling the other three seats in Hendrick’s fleet, one driver will have to leave or retire for Elliott to move to the Cup Series.
Unfortunately, the seat that is more than likely to be vacated will be the No.24 currently being driven by Gordon. 2016, which is an estimate as to when Elliott could have a full time Sprint Cup Series ride, would give Gordon two more full seasons with the organization that made him the great driver that he is.
Jeff Gordon is one of the most popular drivers in the series and the thought of him not being in the field every weekend is something that most people don’t want to think about. Jeff Gordon made his first Cup start in 1992 with his first full season starting in 1993. With over 20 seasons behind the wheel, Gordon has definitely become a household name among racing families. Unfortunately, I think his time as a full-time driver is growing shorter.
Gordon isn’t quite as competitive as he used to be. He still goes out every weekend and races hard but the level of competition is completely different than it was during his Championship days. With two young children now in his life, Gordon’s mindset isn’t 100% on racing like it used to be. Jeff Gordon will always be one of the greatest drivers to ever hit the track, but his time in the No.24 may just be coming to a close sooner than anybody, especially his fans, wants to see. | <urn:uuid:22a5d160-8af3-43af-94cc-3a243c911f10> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://beyondtheflag.com/2013/06/28/is-jeff-gordons-sprint-cup-career-coming-to-an-end/ | 2023-09-27T11:08:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.984035 | 941 |

BHCG offers employer solutions through best in class strategic partners, educational programs, support and vital information to employers who must navigate the ever-changing health care benefits landscape. BHCG has more than 200,000 lives that impact the market and is the only unified employer voice in eastern Wisconsin for health care issues. BHCG membership allows employers, no matter their size, to join forces to effectively face the future together with proven health care solutions.
The Business Health Care Group grew out of the frustration felt by several CEOs of large Milwaukee-based employers concerning health care costs in southeast Wisconsin as compared to their other locations, particularly other areas in the Midwest.
A study commissioned by the Greater Milwaukee Business Foundation on Health found that in 2003, health care costs in southeast Wisconsin were 39 percent above the Midwest average. The founding CEOs realized that something needed to be done to support the economic viability of our area and maintain jobs in our market.
The CEOs also understood that no one employer was large enough to influence the health care market. It would take a number of large employers, speaking with one voice, walking in unison with a common strategy, to impact the costs of health care in southeast Wisconsin. Ultimately, 11 corporations with headquarters in southeast Wisconsin and two other existing coalitions founded BHCG as a member-owned Limited Liability Corporation (LLC) in 2003 to explore alternatives to contain health care costs in the region. They soon established a goal to get costs at or below the Midwest average within five years.
More information about BHCG and its mission is available on this site.
Membership in BHCG is available to employers throughout Wisconsin and on a nationwide basis. Presently employers of all sizes participate in BHCG.
BHCG partnered with Centivo to develop and administer a high-performance health plan to reduce costs through a shared effort by employers and health care provider communities. The way forward is a health plan solution that gives the employer community a more direct voice with providers and features better alignment and accountability for both sides.
Centivo worked with health systems and provider groups to create a health plan, effective January 1, 2022, that identifies high value providers and rewards those providers for value, not volume. Centivo works with employers to direct patients to high value providers and encourages coordinated care through the use of a primary care physician (PCP). The development of strong relationships with PCPs helps plan members navigate the health care system. The result is better health care choices and more predictable costs, key elements of the high-performance health plan solution.
Integral to the BHCG value proposition is its ever-growing number of solutions to help employers more effectively manage their benefit programs. Working with best in class strategic partners, BHCG’s diverse portfolio of employer solutions in benefits delivery, advocacy and patient decision-making aligns with BHCG’s mission to improve health care value. Presently BHCG's strategic partners include:
- Centivo – high-performance health plan and claims administration
- Teladoc (formerly Best Doctors) – informed decision making
- Navitus Health Solutions – pharmacy benefit management
- Quantum Health – consumer navigation and care coordination
- Artemis by Nomi Health – benefits analytics
BHCG is involved in several initiatives at the local and state levels to enhance health care information transparency including:
- Promoting participation in RAND’s Hospital Price Transparency Studies to all self-funded employers and health plans in the state to improve health care value
- Encouraging all medical plan administrators to share their data with the Wisconsin Health Information Organization (WHIO), a partnership of health insurers, hospitals, doctors and employers that analyzes millions of health insurance claims to assess which doctors and hospitals are the most efficient
- Sponsoring the Physician Value Study, in collaboration with Aitia (formerly GNS Healthcare) and WHIO, to evaluate primary care physician and select specialist performance throughout the state
- Encouraging all health systems and provider groups to become members of the Wisconsin Collaborative for Healthcare Quality (WCHQ) to share best practices with other providers and publicly report their quality performance for consumers to access | <urn:uuid:6f4491f5-b648-49a2-bd54-dd36b4f093c1> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://bhcgwi.org/resources/media-faqs/ | 2023-09-27T12:09:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.950661 | 844 |

Country on the Rise Artist Teddy Robb Used 2020 to Get Back to His “Heaven on Dirt”
For many people in the country music industry, 2020 was a time of uncertainty, rest, stress, and growth. Without much opportunity to play live shows, artists used the opportunity to not just grow, but to also, like many others, get back to things they love in life outside of music.
In a recent Instagram live with Big Frog 104, country artist and Ohio native Teddy Robb said the coronavirus pandemic gave him the chance to revisit and grow his relationship with the outdoors, which has become the focal point of his new single, "Heaven on Dirt."
"I was there for a minute during the pandemic, like every weekend I was trying to do something that I could consider like my own 'Heaven on Dirt,'" Robb said. "I was going horseback riding or fishing or ATVing or hunting, like just doing something different every week, so it was a pretty fun summer."
Granted, Robb said he would have much rather spent his year playing live shows, but given the circumstances, he was able to make the most of 2020 and get back to some of his lifelong passions that had been put to the wayside a bit after he moved to Nashville in 2013.
"I moved down here and learned pretty quickly that I had a long way to go and I had a lot of work to do, so a lot of those things I did growing up, I kind of pushed to the side for the last eight years," Robb said. "[I] just really kept my head down and was working on my craft as much as possible and trying to get those ten thousand hours in. Having this year happen and this song, getting to kind of go back and do some of those things again, I relearned what kind of makes me happy and makes me tick and makes me have fun."
Robb performed his single "Heaven on Dirt" on Instagram live, and debuted an unreleased song, "Get Away With It," which he said he had never played in front of anyone before.
Watch the full interview and performances from Teddy Robb on the Big Frog 104 Instagram.
"Heaven on Dirt" will be one of six songs featured on Country on the Rise on January 30 at 9 a.m. Check out the full lineup of new country music featured on the episode here.

A 3rd sort of health definition describes a state of equilibrium, which is a state of balance between an individual’s physical and social atmospheres. Those who operate usually in one team are typically healthy and balanced. For individuals that are prone to illness, there are specific behaviors that are associated with inadequate wellness. Nonetheless, not all people will certainly drop under either group.
Physical as well as psychological health are delicately related.

This meaning stays the main framework for wellness promotion programs to today. Yet it is not an ideal meaning. In fact, it can be misleading, as an absence of wellness can additionally result in destitution, a decrease in efficiency, and also death.

Mental disorder can influence day-to-day tasks as well as add to clinical depression and tension. Both physical and mental health and wellness can impact body weight and also total function. Thus, it is vital to approach health and wellness holistically and also pursue a state of balance. The ideal wellness problem need to be an outcome of a combination of the physical, emotional, and also social aspects that impact our lives.
According to the Globe Wellness Company, wellness refers to physical as well as mental well-being. It consists of the absence of condition, the capability to function in day-to-day activities, and also social harmony. To boost health and wellness, we can promote physical as well as psychological well-being by boosting involvement in activities that declare for health and preventing activities that are hazardous to it. Some facets of health and wellness are hereditary, while others are structural. For example, people with diabetic issues usage medicine to manage their blood sugar levels, while individuals with back pain undergo physical treatment to handle their neck and back pain. These examples of an inadequate definition of health are mainly inappropriate for advertising health.
In order to recognize real meaning of a health triangle, you should initially determine the staminas and also weak points in each of the 3 parts. Then, you have to establish how to enhance your weakest locations. The next area will certainly go over means to make your health and wellness triangle balanced. You’ll be surprised to discover that you can make a health triangular out of your individual wellness report! So, what are one of the most important components to a health and wellness triangular? If you can achieve an equilibrium in these areas, you’re more probable to feel better general.
Improving populace wellness begins with transforming the means people assume and behave. Altering the method people watch health is not an easy task, as well as it needs the cooperation of all stakeholders. Individuals’s worths are created by their setting, their close friends, household, as well as education and learning. They form their way of lives and are affected by the regulations, media, and social problems that impact their lives. For example, a high degree of alcohol usage and smoking boost the threat of heart problem and also diabetes mellitus. relief back pain best

Translational Science in drug development
21 June 2019
Article written by Cees Korstanje – Translational Science Director/Director Pharmacology
Many people who have just finished a PhD might be working on drug development. However, they often will not know all the connecting processes involved in bringing the drug into patients. These connecting processes are also referred to as Translation Science (TS). In this article, Cees Korstanje elaborates on what TS means and what goals it can serve.
TS is more a process and art of connecting cross-functional biological data than a defined science entity. TS in early drug development is a process of selection nonclinical tools and generation of data to build a biological concept and thereby generate confidence that the chosen drug and drug target will lead to a positive proof of concept in patients. In this process, the ‘translational science plan’ is the blueprint and defines what the critical hurdles are and what tools and models are required to generate the ‘confidence end points’. Execution of this plan requires a multidisciplinary interaction space where, dependent on complexity of issues, biological and pharmacological models, sample/readout collection schemes, sample type, bio-analytics platform, arithmetic models and data analysis matrices are compiled. Confidence end points are usually sets of biomarkers, and biomarkers are mostly bio-analyte levels that mark the status of a critical part of the disease process as influenced by the drug.
In current practice TS expertise input in clinical phases of drug development is not limited to defining and measuring a biomarker palette in patients to support selection of patients, individual dose selection, and clinical end points in registration trials, but can also be used for decision-making in a due diligence process, or to generate data for health-economic value purpose. This in particular for therapeutic regimens with combinations therapy in high-value markets, such as oncology. For a new therapeutic modality to find identity and to proof its therapeutical benefit in a complex therapeutical treatment schedule, it is pivotal to document what shifts in biomarker patterns are caused by the newcomer.
Obviously, a higher demand of more data in a regulated environment like pharma, urges to be critical on using a multitude of biological models, analytical platforms and data algorithms, since everything needs to meet quality standards and requires validation steps that may consume much time and resources. Therefore, combining drug target genomics, host-immune system avidity and systems biology knowledge with concentration-response and ligand-target characteristics may be a sound basis to explore deconvolution methodologies for obtaining the pivotal quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP) descriptors aiming at higher benefit with lower spend.
Advancements in analytical genetics and bioanalytical science have led to important reductions in sample volumes and sample work-up procedures to bring multiplex technology into analytical platforms. Liquid biopsy in combination with personalized ctDNA assays is a compact and practical tool in clinical oncology research and patient care. Reliable quantitative histology slide platforms have become available for wide applicability. Sensitivity and precision improvements e.g. in metabolomics now make applications in QSP programs feasible.
So keen use of TS is helpful to design tailored biomarker programs with minimal accumulation of analytical platforms in QSP matrices in a cost-effective way to satisfy the needs to connect drug development phases from bench to bedside.

PTSD and Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder and PTSD are two separate mental illnesses that can occur independently or in conjunction with one another. While they are two different diagnoses, they share some similarities while also having key distinctions between the two.
What Is Bipolar Disorder?
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, “Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness, is a brain disorder that causes unusual shifts in mood, energy, activity levels, and the ability to carry out day-to-day tasks.”
Bipolar disorder is divided into four types based on the symptoms. The type of bipolar disorder one is diagnosed with is reliant on the symptoms that one is experiencing.
Mood changes often occur in episodes that can last anywhere from about a week to a month. However, there are instances where rapid mood cycling may occur.
Manic episodes can range from paranoid to euphoric, and depressive episodes can range from numb to catatonic. Hypomanic episodes can be seen as periods of higher productivity and energy.
Bipolar Type I consists of having a manic episode that lasts at least 7 days, as well as a depressive episode. Bipolar Type II consists of having a depressive episode as well as at least one hypomanic episode. Hypomanic episodes are similar to manic episodes, though they are not as severe.
Cyclothymic disorder is slightly different than the other types because it consists of cycling between hypomanic symptoms and depressive symptoms. These cycles tend to last at least two years in adults, however, they do not fully fit the criteria for hypomanic and depressive episodes.
The last type of bipolar disorder is other specified and unspecified bipolar and related disorders. This is for those with bipolar symptoms that do not match the criteria of any of the three other types of bipolar disorder.
What Is PTSD?
According to the Mayo Clinic, “Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that's triggered by a terrifying event — either experiencing it or witnessing it. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares and severe anxiety, as well as uncontrollable thoughts about the event.”
Unlike bipolar disorder, PTSD is a mental illness that’s caused by environmental factors. The symptoms of PTSD can start to reveal themselves one month after the traumatic event, but it is also possible that symptoms show themselves years after the event. The symptoms of PTSD can have a significant impact on your professional life, school and personal relationships.
The symptoms are usually grouped into four different categories.
The first category of symptoms for PTSD is intrusive memories. These intrusive memories can be distressing memories of the event, and they can even occur as flashbacks where you feel you’re reliving the event. These can also manifest themselves as nightmares or dreams.
The second category is avoidance. This category consists of avoiding the discussion of the event or even thinking about it. It also consists of avoiding situations, people or activities that you associate with the event.
Negative changes in your thinking and mood make up the third category of symptoms. These symptoms can heavily impact your personal relationships, as well as your overall happiness. These symptoms make you feel detached from loved ones and emotionally numb, and it can impact your ability to hold close relationships.
Changes in physical and emotional reactions can occur as well. You may find yourself being more likely to be nervous, startled or even paranoid. Many with PTSD feel like they constantly have their guard up. They may have increases in aggression and outbursts of anger. These symptoms can also impact one’s ability to sleep.
How Are PTSD and Bipolar Disorder Similar and How Are They Different?
PTSD and bipolar disorder have their similarities and differences. However, it has been found that up to 40% of those with bipolar disorder also meet the diagnostic criteria for PTSD.
Let’s start with similarities first. PTSD and depressive episodes can have very similar symptoms at times. Not only can both force you to lose interest in things you used to regularly enjoy, but they can also provide a certain amount of emotional numbness. Irritability and emotional outbursts can also be prevalent in both.
In regards to PTSD’s similarities with manic episodes, both people with PTSD and bipolar disorder can experience paranoia, and nightmares are possible. Like some with PTSD, those with bipolar disorder experiencing a manic episode may have trouble concentrating, however it is for different reasons. For those with PTSD, it can be due to the after-effects of the trauma, but for those experiencing a manic episode, it can be due to racing thoughts.
PTSD does not have the extreme emotional mood shifts the way bipolar disorder does.
Treatment for PTSD and Bipolar Disorder
Proper treatment for both PTSD and bipolar disorder tends to include treatment from a psychiatrist, as well as treatment from a therapist.
For bipolar disorder, medications such as mood stabilizers and antipsychotics may be used. While PTSD doesn’t have medications specifically for the PTSD itself, it does have some medications that can be used to treat certain mood-related symptoms brought on by the PTSD.
It’s important to receive proper treatment for either condition, because oftentimes one illness can trigger the other.
The Bottom Line
PTSD and bipolar disorder can be difficult to deal with on their own. However, it can become even more difficult when they occur in conjunction with one another. Receiving treatment for both can help combat the symptoms, and it can provide you with the coping mechanisms and knowledge needed to live a successful life with both illnesses. | <urn:uuid:8e38a4cc-ce3e-4109-b12e-c871846a01a5> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://bipolar.newlifeoutlook.com/ptsd-and-bipolar/ | 2023-09-27T11:34:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.96802 | 1,146 |
Although many american made mulching lawnmowers are more prevalent than side-discharge models, does this necessarily imply that they are superior? Not always. It depends on how much fertilizer you want to use from your lawn clippings and how prepared you are for cleanup.
The clippings are reduced to extremely small fragments by mulching blades when used rather than any regular blades before being redeposited on the lawn, where they swiftly degrade and enrich the soil with organic matter like mulch or compost. Side discharge merely sends grass clippings flying out the side of the mower, which can make a messy mess, especially if done close to sidewalks or roadways.
Here is a brief comparison of the two so you can decide which is better for your usage.
Comparison Between Mulching And Side Discharge
|Grass Clippings||Cut multiple times and left on lawn as nutrients||Cut once and left on lawn as debris|
|Lawn Appearance||Finer clippings lead to a more uniform look||Visible clippings may look less uniform|
|Time-Saving||No need to stop and empty bag; saves time||Requires stopping to empty bag, takes time|
|Nutrient Retention||Mulching returns nutrients to the soil||Nutrients may be lost if clippings are not bagged|
|Water Conservation||Mulched clippings help retain soil moisture||Side discharge does not affect water conservation|
|Weed Control||Mulched clippings can help suppress weed growth||Side discharge does not affect weed control|
|Equipment Maintenance||Mulching can strain blades and require sharpening||Side discharge puts less strain on blades|
|Aesthetics||Mulching may leave a neater, more manicured appearance||Side discharge may leave a rougher appearance|
|Environmental Impact||Mulching reduces waste and avoids adding to landfills||Side discharge can contribute to landfill waste|
What Is Mulching?
Mulching is a common gardening activity that is good for plants when carried out correctly. Mulching is a procedure commonly used for growing commercially important crops, such as fruit trees, vegetables, flowers, and nursery saplings. It entails covering the exposed surface of the earth with a layer of some external substance, which is referred to as “Mulch.”
Mulching has advantages that can help you save time when managing your landscape. It is useful for container and raised bed home gardens and yard gardening. Garden trash should always be recycled into mulch because it is the most environmentally friendly method to use it.
Pros of Mulching
- The procedure of mulching doesn’t cost much. It is actually quite effective and useful when you examine its various advantages. Good mulches protect the soil by minimizing evaporation, which stops the soil from losing moisture. They boost water infiltration and avoid soil compaction brought on by a lack of moisture.
- In addition to preventing the spread of illnesses that are carried by the soil, mulches help regulate the germination and growth of weeds. Additionally acting as insulation, these mulches can maintain the soil’s temperature and safeguard the roots from chilly or sweltering temps.
- Utilizing organic mulches causes them to break down, gradually enhancing soil fertility. It looks lovely to have mulch on your landscaping. Your garden will look well-kept and improve in aesthetic value as a result.
- Stops the soil’s surface from crusting. Mulch helps soil retain water, preventing it from flowing off.
Cons Of Mulching
- A layer of mulch that is too thick (more than 3 inches) can bury and suffocate plants, preventing water and oxygen from getting to the roots. There should be a 2 to the 3-inch covering of mulch. Limit your mulching.
- If mulch is heaped up around the tree and shrub trunks, it can accelerate the rotting of the bark. Keep the mulch 6 to 12 inches away at the base of woody plants. Stop mulching around trees like a “volcano” now! Mulch keeps decay-causing organisms, rats, and wood-boring insects away from the trunk.
- Slugs, snails, rodents that burrow, and other pests love to live in mulch close to plant stems. To deter slugs and snails, scatter diatomaceous earth or wood ashes around the base of priceless plants.
- If applied incorrectly, midsummer mulch might roast your plants with too much heat.
- Light-colored, wood-based mulches like sawdust or recently chopped wood can rob the soil of nitrogen as they decompose. To counteract this impact, mix a nitrogen-rich fertilizer into the mulch, like soybean meal, alfalfa, or cottonseed meal.
What Is Side Discharge?
Healthier for your lawn is side discharge, but it requires more maintenance. With side discharge, as opposed to mulching, grass clippings are sprayed onto the turf. Although it brings the grass clippings back to the surface of the lawn, the method is different and leads to mulching.
Chutes for ejecting grass cuttings are included on side discharge mowers. The grass clippings flow through an exit chute as they are cut by the mower blade and collect on the lawn, often to the side of the mower. It is common for the discharge chute to have a directional control lever that allows you to change the angle at which the grass discharges.
Pros Of Side Discharge
- The ability to mow continuously and more quickly is the key advantage of side discharge mowing. Additionally, it is simpler to mow in long or wet grass, and if you mow carefully to regulate where the discharge travels, it is a good way to fertilize your yard.
- Side discharge is excellent for fostering grass growth, so long as you mow properly and distribute your grass clippings evenly.
- With side discharge mowers, the cut quality is superb. In addition, the blade will stay sharper longer because of its single-cut motion than a blade that mulches.
- The ability to maintain a healthy lawn is another advantage of side discharge. Nitrogen is necessary for plant growth and is abundant in grass clippings. Your clippings break down and release their nutrients back into the soil when you mulch them. By doing this, you can maintain the health and vitality of your grass all year round.
Cons Of Discharge
- However, this might become an issue if you cut your lawn improperly and wind up with heaps that are over 2 inches tall. Make sure to spread the cuttings thoughtfully because big mounds of them might obstruct light and water and promote bug growth.
- The grass cuttings might splatter on your driveway, sidewalks, paths, and other locations that you’d prefer to keep free of grass clippings.
- Additionally, the grass may be uncomfortable and stick to your clothing, staining your shoes and jeans as you walk through them.
- In flowerbeds and gardens, clippings may end up. Without being mulched, the clippings may accumulate on the soil and create a mat that will keep moisture and oxygen from getting to the roots of the plants. The best course of action is to remove clippings from gardens before they have a chance to sprout weed seeds because they can also contain weed seeds.
Can You Mulch With A Side Discharge Mower?
In a side-discharge mower like GreenWorks 25022 and Toro 20339 you can utilize mulching blades if the mower can handle it. If you want to produce less discharge or grind your clippings more, doing so might be advantageous. A mulching mower can be used with conventional blades, but doing so could result in clumps or more buildup inside the mower.
Can You Convert A Mulching Mower to Side Discharge?
A mulching mower cannot be converted into a side discharge mower without much effort. Mulching mowers feature blade housing without an opening or a discharge chute; thus, to add a discharge chute, you would need to use metal-cutting tools to remove a section of the blade housing.
Mulching Vs Side Discharge: Which is Better for Your Lawn?
The primary distinction between side discharge and mulching lawnmowers is how they operate. Mulching mowers are manufactured without a glass discharge chute. Therefore, as you use the mower, grass clippings keep falling to the ground. Contrarily, side discharge mowers have a funnel that continuously ejects grass clippings to the side, hence its name.
If you don’t have to clean up after using a mulching mower, all the better. They are also an obvious choice if you frequently utilize your clippings for fertilizer. If you don’t mind the mess they create, side discharge mowers might be a good option. Compared to mulching mowers, they cut more efficiently.
Side discharge mowers can be worth a try if you don’t mind the mess you’ll need to clean up afterward. Because of how quickly they turn, they are better suited for vast lawns. Furthermore, you won’t have to stop in the middle of cutting the grass. If you want to use grass clippings to feed your garden, mulching mowers are a better choice.
They won’t also catch any dangerous materials, which is an added benefit. The organic matter that is left over after mulching is nutrient-rich and serves to feed the soil and strengthen its structure. The ideal choice ultimately comes down to the needs of the specific homeowner. | <urn:uuid:6792acb1-ad9a-4c8e-bc5d-995ce1dfcc5c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://birdandfeather.com/mulch-vs-side-discharge/ | 2023-09-27T11:14:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.917498 | 2,062 |
