Our laboratory is primarily interested in immunity and the outcomes from the two extreme immune states – the overexcited/hyperresponsive state contributing to the development of different autoimmune diseases and the insufficient responsiveness necessary to fight off cancer growth.
For autoimmune diseases, our two main research directions are 1) to identify and characterize specific autoimmune target antigens and understand why autoantibodies are induced and continually produced in different disease states and 2) to use human autoantibodies as unique probes to reveal the molecular and cellular functions of fascinating macromolecules and novel subcellular organelles that are autoimmune targets. By understanding the biology of self-antigens in health and disease states, the functional and pathogenic potentials of autoantibodies may be fully appreciated.
For our interest in cancer, the lab has a focus on oral cancer, a major subset of head and neck cancers. The research is also focused in two directions: 1) biomarkers, mainly microRNAs, that are aberrantly expressed in oral cancer; this includes the overexpressed oncogenic miR-21 and the underexpressed miR-375 and miR-494 that behave like tumor suppressor genes. Our findings show that miR-375 is one of the most important in predicting transformation of pre-oral cancer lesions to oral tumors. 2) the development of chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T) as a strategy to treat oral and other head and neck cancers. We have shown that CD70 is a viable CAR-T candidate for further study using mouse models. It is believed that CAR-T targeting of solid tumors is an important challenge that has great potential towards successful treatment for these cancers. | <urn:uuid:f6e91659-03ed-45bf-8865-d80af639b1fc> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://edward-chan.dental.ufl.edu/research-interests/ | 2023-09-27T11:02:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.929911 | 347 |

Your workforce, your customers, and your markets are increasingly diverse. To promote individual and organizational success, you must welcome diversity and manage it well.
These five steps will help you to manage diversity effectively.
Five Key Steps
- Emphasize communication: Ensure that all employees understand your policies, procedures, safety rules, and other important information. Work to overcome language and cultural barriers. Have key materials, such as safety information, translated when possible. Use pictures and symbols on warning signs so that everybody can understand.
- View employees as individuals: Avoid both positive and negative stereotypes. Don’t make assumptions about employees from different groups. Judge successes and failures individually. Respond promptly and firmly when employees express prejudices or stereotypes. Remind them of your policies that prohibit discrimination. Encourage employees to view co-workers as individuals and judge them on their work, not on personal factors.
- Encourage employees to work in diverse groups: Assure that work teams reflect the diversity of your workplace. Diverse work teams let employees get to know and value one another as individuals. Diverse teams also expand the experiences and views of all the workers on the team and help them recognize the strength of their combined talents and perspectives.
- Base decisions on objective criteria: Expect all employees of all backgrounds to meet required standards and perform to the best of their ability. Don’t set different criteria for different groups. Don’t make excuses or allow employees to make excuses for shortcomings. Base all employment actions, including discipline, on specific, performance-related criteria. Always focus on job-related issues, not personal issues, when dealing with employees.
- Be open-minded: Recognize, and encourage employees to recognize, that one’s own experience, background, and culture are not the only ones with value to the organization. Set an example of encouraging diversity by developing relationships with colleagues whose backgrounds differ from yours. Look for ways to incorporate diverse perspectives and talents into efforts to achieve organizational goals. | <urn:uuid:6747bd9e-aa92-4837-9bac-f31c428c08a9> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://ehsdailyadvisor.blr.com/2010/07/5-steps-for-successfully-managing-diversity/ | 2023-09-27T11:22:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.922083 | 405 |

Clients often ask me if I have life insurance. When you look at life insurance as an asset class (not just a death benefit) and consider the tax and investments benefits, it’s a financial tool I strongly believe in, which is why I invest $42,000 in annual premiums into whole-life insurance, which is corporately-owned and paid for.
1. No negative returns
I invested in my first policy in 2006, as I figured when the world financial markets implode (just as they did in 2008). I wanted to have a portion of my portfolio hedged from market returns. What people may not know about life insurance is that there are no negative returns and traditionally speaking, you can expect a long-term rate of return of 5% to 7%. During economic downturns (or anytime), you can also access the investment value inside the contract. This is so you can buy other investments at pennies on the dollar.
2. Protect your credit scores
In addition to no financial risk, I also wanted to create liquidity for myself. In particular, this was in case if I were in a situation where I couldn’t access traditional pockets of financing. I wanted something I could access that wouldn’t affect my credit score or debt service ratios. One of our financial goals is to own five properties in five years. My wife and I recently bought real estate and we used the investment value inside the policy as part of the downpayment. In doing so, it didn’t affect our credit score or debt-service ratios and therefor affect our financing.
3. Take money out tax free
Probably the most creative reason I have life insurance, is to take money out of my company tax-free for retirement. I believe every business owner should consider life insurance for this reason. What most people don’t know is that under current CRA tax rules, having your company purchase life insurance allows the cash inside the policy to accumulate tax-free and the funds can be accessed tax-free indirectly from your corporation.
4. Protecting loved ones
Lastly, and for more traditional reasons, there is the death benefit. Should anything happen to me, I don’t want to leave my wife Julia with debt or have her worry financially. If you’d like to have more of conversation on the tax benefits of life insurance and how it can compliment your investment portfolio, please contact us.

The Cardano blockchain (ADA), known for its innovative approach and peer-reviewed scientific research, recently reached an important milestone. The Total Blocked Value (TVL) in Cardano’s DeFi ecosystem exceeded 446 million ADA, setting a new all-time high, as shown by data from DeFi Llama.
While Arbitrum, Optimism and other protocols have stolen the spotlight lately, this increase in TVL is a testament to the growing interest and trust in the Cardano ecosystem, with more protocols joining.
The boom in decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols at Cardano has played a crucial role in this evolution. After all, these protocols make it possible for users to perform a range of financial activities. This includes, for example, lending and yield farming. Yield farming is a way to participate in liquidity pools where users can deposit their assets. In return, they receive governance tokens or fees generated by transactions.
Cardano’s scalable and secure infrastructure has attracted numerous DeFi projects, which enrich the platform’s ecosystem and increase its TVL. Minswap, for example, continues to lead TVL, with a share of 35.96%, as reported by the TapTools team.
Cardano’s TVL on the rise
The recent increase in TVL can also be attributed to individuals seeking a safe haven away from traditional banking and centralized platforms. With growing concerns regarding privacy, security and control, many users are moving towards decentralized alternatives. In this regard, Cardano has emerged as an attractive option.
Memecoins have also played a role in the growth of Cardano’s TVL. Tokens like the well-known “Snek” have found a welcoming home on Cardano, attracting a wide range of participants interested in exploring and investing in these satirical digital assets.
Crossing the 446 million ADA mark in TVL is a significant milestone for Cardano. It positions the network among the top 20 blockchains in terms of TVL, cementing its place as a leading blockchain ecosystem.
The continued growth of memecoins, the expansion of DeFi protocols and the ever-increasing number of individuals looking for decentralized alternatives bring a promising outlook for Cardano’s TVL. As more projects and users join the platform, Cardano could be in the early stages of a bull run, fueling its growth and cementing its position as a leading blockchain platform. | <urn:uuid:af180288-6bca-49f1-a320-68254406ee0a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://elevenews.com/2023/05/27/cardano-blocked-amount-breaks-historical-record-of-446-million-ada/ | 2023-09-27T11:02:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.930742 | 501 |

“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.” (James 1:17)
Old trees fascinate. After enduring seasons of brutal weather that battered them relentlessly, they stand at attention like proud soldiers safeguarding their assigned post. Knobby branches extend skyward in salute; solid roots balance them like boots on the ground.
Ancient trees hold stories as varied as the ridges running across their bark. Passersby tossed them juicy bits of conversation as they casually strolled beneath their leafy limbs. Lovers carved initials in their trunks and made promises within the canopy of their shaded perch. Maneuvering one leg effortlessly over the other, children scampered across their branches and hid out in tree tops. There they concocted daring adventures and tomorrow’s escapades until the sun went down and voices called them home.
Generous friends that lend us shade, trees deliver protection from the onslaught of daylight’s blaze. Drab birds cluster in their branches, and brightly-colored feathered ones flit about, perching for a respite before flying off again. Trees cradle nests in the crook of their arm for safekeeping till springtime rolls around.
Yet beyond any other contribution, trees provide a poignant, visual reminder of a vital principle running through Scripture. The psalms depict a man or a woman who finds “delight” in God’s laws as being like a robust tree that yields abundant fruit in a variety of seasons. God challenges us to be like trees “planted by streams of water” who will thrive in every season by drawing strength and vitality from his Word. To think, process, and apply God’s Word to our lives, to understand that Scripture is a joy to be relished, will allow us to develop like fruitful trees with plentiful leaves that do not wither or want (See Psalms 1:2-3).
Every good gift comes from the gracious hand of our great God, and trees display one example of his generosity toward us. Poised at the corner, beautifying a park, jammed together in a wooded enclave, and every setting in between, trees stand before us as evidence that our Father delights in granting us far more than we deserve.
“The righteous flourish like the palm tree and grow like a cedar in Lebanon. They are planted in the house of the LORD; they flourish in the courts of our God. They still bear fruit in old age; they are ever full of sap and green, to declare that the LORD is upright; he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him” (Psalm 92:12-15).

So, in June the Government set out its high-level guidance for the return of children to classrooms in something like normal numbers (you’ll find a summary of that guidance in our other recent blog), and there may be more information still to come.
However, having worked with schools and colleges for decades, we have some idea of the hard work their management teams will be undertaking right now to identify how they can translate that guidance into detailed action plans suitable for their own settings.
To this end, we’ve captured some of our own thoughts and advice below, to help them on that journey. We recommend reading this in conjunction with our ‘COVID-secure guide for businesses’ as, while educational establishments have their own unique characteristics and challenges, many of the COVID-secure principles are the same.
Firstly, a word about the situation
Schools and colleges are a hard nut to crack, in terms of COVID-security. Why? Because of the people they cater for, namely, children and young people who are quite rightly designed to be highly social animals. While they’ve had five months to get used to the idea of keeping their distance from one another, put them back in a familiar classroom environment alongside their mates, and concepts like social distancing and extra hygiene precautions are likely – to at least some extent – to go straight out of the window.
So, that – plus the known fact that children are expert super-spreaders of infection for a whole host of reasons – is the dilemma those responsible for these places face.
So, what can they do to give confidence to colleagues, parents and children, while ensuring their own peace of mind?
Some ideas from our experience – for education providers
- A child’s-eye view: Re-look at your whole school or college environment from the perspective of the children or young people you serve. You’re fighting an invisible enemy so ask yourself ‘how do they flow around our buildings?’, ‘what things do they habitually do?’, ‘where do they tend to congregate?’, ‘what interactions do they have with teachers and support staff?’ and – based on all of this information – ‘where are our greatest risks of transmitting COVID-19?’. Then, you can then start to form a plan. Use bright, visual posters and directional signage to engage attention – younger students might respond better to pictorial information.
- De-clutter your environment: Look at everything inside your premises from the perspective of this pesky new form of virus which has become very adept at living, sometimes for quite a while, on certain types of surfaces. Uncluttered, wipeable surfaces made from materials like metal and plastic are your friend. Rugs, soft toys, cloth soft furnishings and carpet where things can linger for longer, are not.
- Re-consider your teaching tools: Tangible, shared equipment should be kept to a minimum, and anything you do use should be wipeable and cleaned down between uses. Digital items like screens, laptops and tablets are easier to clean using alcohol wipes than similar toys with grooves and grains. We’re living in an increasingly digital age – what learning activities can you transfer to digital format, to minimise how much physical ‘stuff’ students have to touch? Similarly, consider ways of facilitating your usual large-group engagements, which are so vital to school culture, in an online meeting format. Assemblies, for example, are maybe best avoided at the present time, or at least unless you have a vast open space to use for the purpose.
- Change processes: Consider all of the non-educational activities your school engages in, day-to-day. For example, things like cash payments for uniform orders and after-school clubs should go and be replaced by online payments.
- Additional safety measures: While Public Health England has said that temperature testing of pupils isn’t necessary, it has explained that poorly children should not be allowed into school for the protection of others. In our view, this is all about building confidence among everyone who forms part of your educational community. Therefore, if you believe it would help you do that, we would recommend forehead temperature testing of pupils as they line up to come into school each day. This simple measure – which is being deployed everywhere from airports to some healthcare settings – could help you identify infections early and keep them away from your school environment. Similarly, as part of the daily school admission process, teachers could take registers with parents and guardians present asking if there has been any sign of the key coronavirus symptoms within each pupil or any member of their household: temperature, loss of smell or taste and continuous coughing. By taking control in this way, and continually re-educating everyone about what to look out for, you’re helping to ensure everyone’s safety.
- Educate, and make it fun: Education is, of course, what these settings are there for and good at, therefore building inspirational learnings around minimising the coronavirus risk is something all schools should be implementing as part of their daily routines. This isn’t about frightening students in any way, or about instilling paranoia, but these messages are potentially life-saving and need reiterating constantly. Similarly, a zero-tolerance approach to good discipline is absolutely vital. Undesirable things that all children do at some point, from spitting to play-fighting, simply cannot be allowed in this current climate.
- Good hygiene, above all else: Keeping your environment as clean as it can possibly be is at the centre of everything, and will make the biggest difference. Whereas cleaning activities used to be daily or even weekly for different parts of your school, they now need to take place several times a day, and everyone needs to be involved. Where cost might have been the greatest factor in choosing detergents and disinfectants, sourcing the right things which comply with appropriate European standards is now your bigger priority. Things you might want to consider include EN14476-certified antiviral disinfectants and wipes affording the minimum possible contact germ-killing time. While chlorine-based products can offer a cost-effective alternative, you need to consider the surfaces you will use them on, as they can tarnish some over time. You may also need to source more hand sanitiser and soap with the right ingredients to ensure effective germ-killing. And you may also need to install additional handwashing and sanitisation stations around your building, such as at entrance/exit points, outside toilets, communal areas and outside classrooms, to enable students and staff to adhere to your rigorous new hygiene requirements. Switch off electric hand dryers, too, as they are known to spread germs through the air, and replace them with disposable paper towels with an appropriate bin to discard them into alongside. And, wherever possible, swap out cleaning equipment like cloths and mops for disposable alternatives, to minimise the risk of cross-contamination. There are also other preventative products you might want to consider, such as one-way systems, and antiviral mats which, when positioned outside your school entrance doors for children and staff to wipe their feet on, can prevent coronavirus germs being transferred into school via their footwear. We are also able to source extra-small protective gloves, for any settings where further safeguards are needed for certain activities.
- Social distancing, where you can: Social distancing of at least a metre – ideally two – between pupils is still advisable where possible. However, where it isn’t, consider reviewing your seating arrangements, for example facing children away from each other as they work. We can source child-friendly signage as well as standard social distancing barriers, including a range of floor stickers.
- Implement new routines: Certain school routines pose increased risk, because they involve increased numbers of children coming together; for example, lunchtimes. You might want to consider new routines around these things, such as handwashing before and after eating, removing shared cutlery trays so that each pupil is handed their own cutlery bundle with their meal, and wiping down tables and chairs between groups. Implementing this consistently may require increased staffing, particularly in younger settings, so that there are enough adults to supervise and guide what pupils are doing. Toilets are the other obvious pressure point, as lavatories are another source of contamination from bodily fluids. Again, the answer is to limit the number of pupils using the toilets at any one time, clean them more regularly and supervise handwashing and sanitisation after children have used the facilities. Consider supplying personal protective equipment like gloves, aprons and face masks or visors for any members of staff engaging in such close contact with students.
Things parents can do to support their school and minimise any risk of children bringing infection home
One thing is certain, we’re all in this together and the more we can collaborate towards the same, positive outcome – protecting those we love against coronavirus and get back to more normality – the better. When it comes to COVID-security in schools, and the knock-on risks to our homes, parents have an absolutely vital role to play – from reinforcing messages young people hear at school or college, to making simple changes that reduce the risk of transition at home. Here are some suggestions of small adaptations you could consider, that could potentially make a big difference.
- Making the right choices: Reconsider your child’s clothing and equipment. Wherever possible, choose wipeable surfaces for things like lunch boxes, school bags and even coats, and clean everything regularly with antiviral wipes and washing-up or laundry detergents – because COVID-19 is an enveloped virus, it is susceptible to normal washing of this nature.
- When sharing isn’t caring: While it’s good to share, educate your child on the need to keep things like their equipment, clothes, stationery and packed lunch to themselves, for now.
- Re-enforce school’s messages: Re-enforce the education about disease transmission your children have already had over recent months, and will be receiving at school: things like regular handwashing, for longer; not playing in too close contact with their friends; not touching their faces (or playing with things like bobbles and hair bands which can also carry the virus), and covering their faces with tissues when they cough or sneeze.
- New routines: Just how much caution you want to exercise surrounding your child’s return to school will depend on your individual family circumstances and whether you have vulnerable people to look out for – and, indeed, whether your child has a condition which puts them at greater risk. However, you might be wise to reconsider your daily school pick-up routines and implement new, preventative actions. For example, encourage your child to take off their school clothes at the door, maybe take their daily shower then and put on their comfortable home clothes before they turn their thoughts to relaxation. Coronavirus can be carried on fabrics and this kind of precaution is something many medical professionals have been following since the start of the outbreak, so it’s tried and tested. Washing uniforms after each use, if you can possibly manage it, is also an advisable thing to do.
- School pick-up: You might also want to re-think who picks your child up from school each day. If it’s possible to ensure this is the same person, consistently, then you are minimising the risk of multiple people potentially taking their germs into the playground, and vice-versa.

The holidays aren't all glitzy parties and champagne-fueled dinner parties. In fact, my favorite moments during this time of year are the more low-key ones, curled up on the couch watching holiday reruns with my people.
My holiday wardrobe consists of a mix of comfortable staples and more special pieces. I love being cozied up with my family in my loungewear just as much as I look forward to dressing up for our annual pilgrimage to the SF Gay Men's Chorus Christmas Concert.

I made a second visit to the Museo Alameda today, planning on writing a little review. I hadn’t seen anyone actually review the content of the exhibitions, with most commentary focusing on the political aspects of the enterprise (or worse, fights that broke out at the opening — we’ll let the tabloids cover that topic…). But just now I noticed that Edward Rothstein has already done a pretty good job reviewing the exhibits for the New York Times (this is their second article on the museum). A lot of people I’ve talked to had the same questions: Laura Bush’s purse? Quartz crystals? A satellite? What does this have to do with the Latino experience?
But I think there is something going on at the museum that could be pretty interesting if executed in a more cohesive way. There is a blend of ancient artifacts, cultural detritus, and contemporary art that is, in my experience, unique. If the curators of the museum were able to make more effective use of the Smithsonian collection (hint: Lady Bird Johnson’s brooch doesn’t help us understand Latino history), but also tie these artifacts to important contemporary work, it could play a role in educating us about the past but also make a positive contribution to the development of Latino culture today. The potential is there, but unfortunately, the first round of exhibits doesn’t quite pull it off.

buildingSMART (formerly IAI) aims to create standards to allow interoperability between software used within the building lifecycle.
buildingSMART was founded by 12 North American companies in the construction industry. These companies showcased a series of applications to show interoperability problems and possible solutions at the June 1995 A/E/C systems show in Atlanta, Georgia.
These prototypes showed the aspirations in realizing interoperability.
With the success of the demonstration, the 12 companies in September 1995 invited participation to this movement by the international construction industry. This way, the international buildingSMART was born.
The companies participating in buildingSMART create IFC specifications in multiple disciplines. buildingSMART aims to not create software, but to lead software companies to facilitate IFC standards, and to push for the creation of software and applications that utilize opportunities gained from the abilities that computers bring in the construction industry.
Enable interoperability in the construction industry.
To define data sharing specifications of each software and application, promoting its use and public understanding throughout project lifecycles.
- Non-profit organization
- Open membership requirements
- Cooperative Organization
- Consensus decision-making
- Public disclosure of research findings
- International solutions
- Collaboration between software and industry experts in the specification and publishing of standards
What is buildingSMART(formerly IAI)?
The current construction industry is built from many different disciplines. Each individual discipline has developed independently with their own languages, technology and ways of representing information. This has caused many problems when attempting to share information between disciplines. Even within the individual disciplines, there are difficulties in communication and loss of information. When working collaboratively, project costs have been increasingly rising. For example, at the Denver International Airport, problems occurring during the project was put on the front page of newspapers, revealing how CAD applications within the construction industry do not have the ability to share data. This problem occurred due to designers of over 20 different disciplines having different CAD platforms and third-party applications which were not compatible each-other.
In this way, two solutions were devised.
１．By unifying the software platform
This method would involve design companies to invest in new software and hardware, including training the staff in using the new tools.
２．By using common elements of applications to exchange information
This method allows each company to continue working in the same way as they have previously, however poses problems of data loss in some parts. (For example, conversion using DXF file format.)
Ultimately, the second option was chosen for financial reasons.
The Denver International Airport project above represents the current state of the construction industry.
By not being able to solve interoperability through data sharing by software, production inefficiencies occur in many situations. This means that there are many inefficient steps in the design, construction and maintenance management construction lifecycle. Many consultants face the same problems in the lifecycle, having to keep adding or search for information. Even while being in the high information society era, there is a large amount of wasted work in the design process.
From this, buildingSMART aims to improve interoperability through data sharing. Specifically, through standardization of data shared across different software platforms.

Prime Day is approaching: Amazon's mega shopping event will take place on July 12th and 13th. The online group then lures with thousands of offers, which sometimes turn out to be such, but sometimes do not live up to their name. In any case, the fact is: browsing and comparing prices can be worthwhile, even for gamers and game fans. You can expect offers for board games, but also toys.
The sales event of the summer takes place in mid-July. Online shoppers are already looking forward to Amazon Prime Day: for two days, the shop giant will have many offers for which you have to be a Prime customer. Nothing works without the subscription.
Can you also use Amazon Prime for free?
The special offers are then available for around 48 hours - and board games will probably be included again this year. An offer is valid for a maximum of ten hours, often shorter if the number of items is limited and the item is then sold out.
As is well known, all offers on Amazon Prime Day can only be used by subscribers to the Amazon Prime service. There is one innovation this year: for the first time in its history, the Bargain Day does not start on a Monday. Instead, there are deals in 2022 on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Technology, electronics and clothes are usually very popular, and there should traditionally be countless offers in these segments. However, it can also be worthwhile for online shoppers who are also interested in the other sales categories in the Amazon online shop: toys, family items and, last but not least, board games can always be found among the deals called up. Is that worth it? Comparing prices is popular.
The day now has many fans around the world. With the Black Friday sell-out day and Cyber Monday, Amazon Prime Day forms the bargain trio of the year. The expectations of online shoppers for real blockbuster offers are correspondingly high. Amazon doesn't always live up to that, but at least it does it often. The group is already giving a foretaste: the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 with 5G is available for EUR 699,99 instead of EUR 1.010, the Microsoft Surface Pro 7 saves around EUR 500 and gamers already have the Logitech Gaming Mouse G Pro for 89 euros instead of 149 euros or the corresponding Logitech gaming keyboard for 149,99 instead of 229 euros.
With the shopping event, Amazon really seduces its customers every year, because Prime Day is heavily advertised. Amazon isn't stingy with information either – the shopping giant has one especially for Bargain Day subpage in the shop* set up where all categories can be reached, details on by-products can be viewed and numerous deals can be called up directly.
Those who have not yet belonged to the illustrious circle of Prime subscribers can do so. The subscription costs 69 euros per year or 7,99 euros per month, but this includes access to Prime Video and fast shipping, among other things. For some bargain hunters, the one-month subscription to Amazon Prime Day can be worthwhile, because ideally a few hundred euros can be saved, especially with large devices from the entertainment or household sectors. If you order from Amazon without a subscription, you can sometimes test a seven-day prime phase for 99 cents.
This year's Amazon Prime Day is even worse for those who have not yet had a subscription. You can then test "Prime" free of charge for 30 days and keep the subscription after this phase or cancel it at no additional cost. Also as Student* Can save money: Amazon has a discounted Prime subscription for learners. And the rule is: You can share the Prime subscription with family members.
Board games on sale?
There will probably also be board games on offer at Prime Day 2022 - this can be predicted relatively accurately based on the history of the previous deal days. It remains unclear until launch which titles will actually be offered at cheaper prices. Most of them are board games from larger German publishers, for example Ravensburger, Schmidt Spiele or Noris. Queen Games is also a firm candidate for Prime Day. The same probably applies to the Austrians at Rudy Games, whose players can often be found in Amazon offers anyway.
Otherwise, a bit of luck and patience is required: Board games with many players can also be part of the bargain portfolio due to the ongoing boom in board games. In the past, titles such as Kingdom Builder from Queen Games, The Castles of Burgundy or Gravitrax from Ravensburger, Exploding Kittens from Asmodee or Get Pretty Clever from Schmidt Spiele at lower prices. Kosmos also entered the race for customers' favor and money at past Prime Days with board games: Andor, Cities: Skylins and Game of Thrones – Catan could be found; from Pegasus Spiele there was The Cartographer. Robinson Crusoe or Empires of the North. Paper Tales from Frosted Games could also be found. There is a look back at Prime Day two years ago here .
In any case, it is good to see that there is more to the board game offers than just junk on Amazon Prime Day, and that probably also applies to this year. One focus is mostly on family board games, but there are a few top-class multi-player titles among the deals. At the same time, it is a fact that the more unusual the offer is, the faster it will be sold out – usually even before the ten-hour period has expired. Some titles can also be found on Prime Day, which is always on offer throughout the year anyway. For board game fans, however, it should be worth keeping an eye on Amazon's shopping channels.
Despite all the hectic pace of bargain hunting, the following applies on Prime Day: It is best to start shopping with a cool head. Not all of them Board Game Deals are actually which. It is therefore advisable to compare prices. Nevertheless: On average, many items can be shot cheaply. In the end, the best way is to decide for yourself what an item is worth to you and when your "own" price is a bargain - then it doesn't matter whether the same title would have been a euro or two cheaper in another shop . After all, you can still enjoy the added value of the Prime subscription even after Amazon Prime Day 2022. | <urn:uuid:ae6b9c8b-34d7-4af5-88f3-1e60d2dfa118> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://en.spielpunkt.net/board-games-deals-at-amazon-prime-day-2022/ | 2023-09-27T10:53:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.961265 | 1,293 |
The noble splendor of medieval strategy is coming soon to Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 consoles. Paradox Interactive's acclaimed strategy RPG Crusader Kings III is coming to consoles on March 29th, 2022. This gives a whole new group of players the opportunity to build a legendary dynasty in the historical strategy game par excellence.
In collaboration with the Lab42 development team, Paradox has adapted the dynamic and ever-changing gameplay of Crusader Kings III to a new environment while leveraging the console game's unique characteristics.
Few other games offer such a rich array of strategic options: political marriages to unite noble houses, brutal wars to establish quasi-legal claims, personal relationships to unite a fractured empire, and even subtle intrigues to subvert rivals or turn off.
Customized user interface
Crusader Kings III for consoles features a customized user interface and control scheme tailored specifically for larger screens and console gamepads. The all-new controls allow players to quickly and easily navigate through the game's menus using triggers, bumpers and quick movements of the analog stick. The console version also supports key Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 features, like super-fast load times for a seamless gaming experience, and haptic and adaptive trigger controller feedback. Players can use Quick Resume to switch between the game and other applications such as YouTube, where they can watch a tutorial on how to put down a peasant uprising.
PlayStation 5 users will experience the game's stress mechanics for themselves, as their DualSense controllers will physically react to in-game events as they unfold. For example, the more stress a character has accumulated, the more resistance is applied to the DualSense controller's adaptive triggers. The PS5's "Activities" feature and in-game help also provide a platform to help new players take their first steps into the world of Crusader Kings.
The features of Crusader Kings III at a glance:
Character-Driven Gameplay: Each character that players play or interact with has their own unique personality. In-game events and options are largely determined by the type of person playing them.
Endless possibilities: Players take over any noble house from Iceland to India, Finland to Central Africa, over five centuries. They interact with wandering guests, wayward children, devious spymasters and holy men in an elaborate tapestry of medieval life.
Warfare: They gather their vassals and deploy their soldiers to besiege enemy castles or put down rebellions. Personal skill on the battlefield can earn them great honor, but strategic planning is the road to victory.
Royal Marriages: Players will spread their dynasty's DNA across the world, stamping their royal seal on the coats of arms of kingdoms and duchies far and wide. They marry for power and raise children to lay claim to new lands.
Saints and Sinners: Whether they remain faithful to their religious leaders or commit major crimes in the interests of the state is entirely up to the players. When push comes to shove, they can always indulge in heretical activities or found a new religion that better suits their priorities.
The console version of Crusader Kings III is available for pre-order now on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.

Taj Hotels is a chain of luxury hotels and a subsidiary of the Indian Hotels Company Limited, headquartered in Mumbai, India. Incorporated by Jamsetji Tata in 1902, the company is a part of the Tata Group. The company employed over 20,000 people in the year 2010. The company has been ranked as the World’s Strongest Hotel Brand in 2022 and India’s Strongest Brand as per Brand Finance Hotels 50 Report 2022 and India 100 Report 2020, 2022 and 2023.
Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata, founder of the Tata Group, opened the Taj Mahal Palace, a hotel in Mumbai (formerly called Bombay) overlooking the Arabian Sea, on 16 December 1903. It was the first Taj property and the first Taj hotel. There are several anecdotal stories about why Tata opened the Taj hotel. According to a story, he decided to open the hotel after an incident involving racial discrimination at the Watson's Hotel in Mumbai, where he was refused entry as the hotel permitted only Europeans. Hotels that accepted only European guests were very common across British India then. According to another story, he opened the hotel when one of his friends expressed disgust over the hotels that were present in Bombay then. But a more plausible reason was advanced by Lovat Fraser, a close friend of the Tata and one of the early directors of the IHCL group, that the idea had long been in his mind and that he had made a study on the subject. He did not have any desire to own a hotel but he wanted to attract people to India and to improve Bombay. It is said[by whom?] that Jamsetji Tata had travelled to places like London, Paris, Berlin, and Düsseldorf to arrange for materials and pieces of art, furniture and other interior decor for his hotel.
In 1974, the group opened India's first international five-star deluxe beach resort, the Fort Aguada Beach Resort in Goa. In 1970s, the Taj Group also began its business in metropolitan hotels, opening the five-star deluxe hotel, Taj Coromandel in Chennai, in 1974, acquiring an equity interest and operating contract for the Taj President (now Vivanta by Taj – President), a business hotel in Mumbai, in 1977, and also opening the Taj Mahal Hotel in Delhi in 1978.
The group has been converting royal palaces in India into luxury hotels since the 1970s. The first palace to be converted into a Taj luxury hotel was the Lake Palace in Udaipur, in 1971. Other examples include the Rambagh Palace in Jaipur, Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur, Falaknuma Palace in Hyderabad and Nadesar Palace in Varanasi.
In 1980, the Taj Group opened its first hotel outside India, the Taj Sheba Hotel in Sana'a, in Yemen and in the late 1980s, acquired interests in the St. James' Court Hotel (now comprising Taj 51 Buckingham Gate Suites and Residences and St. James' Court, A Taj Hotel) in London. In 1984, the Taj Group acquired, under a license agreement, each of the Taj West End in Bangalore, Taj Connemara, in Chennai and Savoy Hotel in Ooty. The five-star deluxe hotel, Taj Bengal in Kolkata, was opened in the year 1989, and with this, the Taj Group became the only hotel chain in India with a presence in the six major metropolitan cities of India, namely Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Chennai.
Concurrently with the expansion of its luxury hotel chain in the major metropolitan cities, the Taj Group also expanded its business hotels division in the major metropolitan and large secondary cities in India. During the 1990s, the Taj Group continued to expand its geographic and market coverage in India. It developed specialized operations (such as wildlife lodges) and consolidated its position in established markets through the upgrading of existing properties and development of new properties. Taj also set up the Taj Kerala Hotels and Resorts Limited in the early 1990s along with the Kerala Tourism Development Corporation.
On 9 March 2022, Taj Exotica Resort & Spa, The Palm, Dubai, was opened. The hotel is the recent addition to The Taj Hotel group. Other properties of the group include Taj Jumeirah Lakes Towers Dubai and Taj Dubai.

Thousands of Nigerians have demonstrated nationwide every day for nearly two weeks against a police unit, the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), that rights groups had for years accused of extortion, harassment, torture and murders. The unit was disbanded on Oct. 11 but the protests have persisted with demonstrators calling for a raft of law enforcement reforms.
“They started firing ammunition toward the crowd. They were firing into the crowd,” said Alfred Ononugbo, 55, a security officer after the soldiers opened fire. “I saw the bullet hit one or two persons,” he said.
The condition of those two people was not immediately known. Amnesty International has said at least 15 people had been killed since the protests began.
In a Twitter post, the Nigerian Army said no soldiers were at the scene of the shooting on Tuesday night in Lekki, an upmarket district where the toll gate has been the site of daily protests in Lagos, Africa’s biggest city.
Lagos State Goveror Babajide Sanwo-Olu tweeted pictures of him visiting people in hospital who were victims of what he referred to as the “unfortunate shooting incident at Lekki.”
He said 25 people were being treated for mild to moderate injuries, two were receiving intensive care and three had been discharged.
“As the Governor of our state, I recognize the buck stops at my table and I will work with the FG (federal government) to get to the root of this unfortunate incident and stabilize all security operations to protect the lives of our residents,” said Sanwo-Olu, adding that he would give a state broadcast on Wednesday morning.
The Lagos state government earlier said it would open an investigation into the shooting, which witnesses said began at about 7 p.m. (1800 GMT).
A Nigerian army spokesman did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Monumental tasks lie ahead for Nigeria’s next president
Inyene Akpan, 26, a photographer, said more than 20 soldiers arrived at the toll gate in Lekki and opened fire. He said he saw two people being shot.
Akinbosola Ogunsanya, a third witness, said he saw around 10 people being shot. Ogunsanya, who said lights went out shortly before the soldiers arrived, also said he saw soldiers remove bodies.
Another witness, Chika Dibia, said soldiers hemmed in people as they shot at them.
Video verified by Reuters showed men walking slowly in formation toward demonstrators, followed by trucks with flashing lights, and the sound of gunfire popping. Another video showed the toll gate itself, with a protester waving a Nigerian flag, as people ran amid the sounds of gunfire.
A Reuters witness heard sirens and gunfire.
President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday held scheduled talks with the defense minister and the chief of defense staff around 6:15 p.m. (1715 GMT) to discuss national security, two presidency officials told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity.
A spokesman for the president did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The Nigerian army was due to begin a two-month national exercise on Tuesday. When the move was announced on Saturday, it denied the move was part of a security response to the demonstrations. Days earlier, the military said it was prepared to help maintain law and order.
Fiery aftermath of pipeline explosion in Nigeria
The weeks-long protests were sparked by a video that began circulating in early October purportedly showing SARS officers shooting a man in southern Delta state. Police denied the shooting.
Authorities on Tuesday imposed a round-the-clock curfew on Lagos as the state governor said protests had turned violent.
It is one of five of Nigeria’s 36 states to have announced such measures in the last two days. The national police chief also ordered the immediate deployment of anti-riot forces nationwide following increased attacks on police facilities, a police spokesman said.

How Australia Delivers Rapid Start-up and 43.5% Rebate for Early Phase Oncology Trials
About Avance Clinical
Avance Clinical is an Australian owned Contract Research Organisation that has been providing high-quality clinical research services to the local and international drug development industry for 20 years. They specialise in working with biotech companies to execute Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials to deliver high-quality outcomes fit for global regulatory standards.
As oncology sponsors look internationally to speed-up trials after unprecedented COVID-19 suspensions and delays, Australia, which has led the world in minimizing the pandemic’s impact, stands out as an attractive destination for early phase trials. This in combination with the streamlined regulatory system and the financial benefits including a very favourable exchange rate and the R & D cash rebate makes Australia the perfect location for accelerating biotech clinical programs.
“When we advise sponsors that Australia has a 43.5% rebate on clinical trial costs it becomes a straightforward decision for them to initiate their trials in Australia. Australia’s clinical sites and infrastructure are very much open for business,” said Avance Clinical CEO Yvonne Lungerhausen.
Approximately 96% of our work is supporting small to medium-sized biotechnology companies executing Phase 1 and Phase 2 trials. Our client base currently extends across North America, Canada, New Zealand, Europe and Asia.
“Working with the Avance Team has helped us to develop and complete high quality and compliant clinical studies. I especially appreciate their penchant for communication, quality and pragmatism.” – Sr. Vice President, Regulatory, Quality & Clinical Affairs, Atossa Genetics, Inc
“We offer 20-years of experience in the CRO sector servicing biotech companies from around the globe. The demand for our services is driven by our scientific and research excellence, streamlined regulatory environment, advanced healthcare system,” said Yvonne Lungershausen.
A review of data from TrialTrove reveals that to date there are approximately 100 Phase 1 trials ongoing or planned to be initiated in Australia by biotech’s in 2020 compared with over 500 Phase 1 trials planned to initiate in the US. While Australia performs well in this space on a global stage there remains significant opportunity for biotechs to take advantage of Australia’s world-class early phase trials ecosystem.

Avance Clinical is perfectly placed to partner with biotechs for the early clinical development of their oncology assets
More than 20% of Avance Clinical’s studies are in the Oncology therapeutic area. After conducting more than 30 studies over the past 4 years and managing a total of over 5000 patients this experience has enabled Avance Clinical to develop strong site and investigator relationships and best in class capabilities in the conduct of single centre Phase 1 to multi-centre Phase 2 trials.
“Australia is an ideal hub for early phase oncology trials and many international biotech and pharma companies launch early phase clinical evaluation of their programs in Australia,” says Chief Scientific Officer, Gabriel Kremmidiotis.
Breaking this out further Avance Clinical’s Oncology therapeutic indication experience includes:
- Breast Cancer
- Acute Myeloid Leukemia
- Solid Tumors
- Gynecologic Malignancies
- Gastric Cancer
- Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG)
- Glioblastoma Multiforme
- B-cell Lymphoma
- Colorectal Cancer
- BRAF mutation-negative Metastatic Melanoma
- Metastatic Renal Cancer
- Mammographic Breast Density
- Acute Leukemia
- Upper Limb Secondary Lymphedema
Leveraging deep experience in Oncology clinical trials and the latest innovation in study design
Based on Avance’s’ experience in these indications and having managed many early Phase oncology trials in the past 4 years Avance is able to recommend to clients a number of early-phase study design elements that are considered “best return on investment” for FIH products. Such designs incorporate the following key elements:
- An accelerated dose-escalation part, included in the dose-escalation component of a Phase I study. This design accelerates dose escalation through the initial subtherapeutic doses.
- Inclusion of a combination arm to evaluate the safety of the investigational agent when combined with an approved agent. Evaluation of the combination is included in the dose-escalation phase with the combination off-set to the monotherapy of the investigational agent by one dose cohort.
- Inclusion of a sequential monotherapy arm in randomised Phase 2 trials where the new investigational product is being evaluated in a combination setting involving the standard of care (SOC) (e.g. Keytruda plus/minus the investigational agent). This design allows the acquisition of data on the investigational product used as monotherapy while only using two treatment arms.
“Avance’s team and network of experienced clinical research investigators and sites have the breadth and depth of expertise necessary to successfully conduct Phase I and Phase II oncology trials across all tumour types, in tumour-specific or molecular-target-specific settings,” comments Gabriel Kremmidiotis, Avance Clinicals Chief Scientific Officer.
Avance has embedded oncology expertise at all levels and departments to ensure the complexity of each oncology trial is understood, and trial objectives are delivered.
Unpacking the Australian Advantage
The fast-regulatory approval environment, the availability of key opinion leader expertise and high-quality clinical research sites in Australia provides an ideal setting for the fast and quality execution of clinical trials.
The world’s fastest Study Start
The Australian regulatory body for clinical trials, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (‘TGA’), offers two schemes for conducting clinical trials in Australia; the CTN Scheme and the CTX Scheme. Most clinical trials initiated in Australia are under the CTN Scheme. The CTN Scheme involves a simple notification process following Ethics Committee (hospital or site network-based review committees) approval for the study. It is important to note that an active IND is not required to initiate trials in Australia under the CTN or CTX Scheme.
Key points include:
- Site Initiation Visit (SIV) and Study Start can be achieved in 5-6 weeks.
- Working within this robust and efficient framework expedites the process of running a clinical trial.
- No IND required for clinical research trials
- Full GMP material is not mandated for Phase I clinical research trials
Rebate of Clinical Trial Costs
Administered by Innovation Australia and assisted by AusIndustry and the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), The Australian Government’s Research and Development Tax Incentive has made Australia an attractive destination to take advantage of R&D initiatives.
Key points include:
- Ideal for companies with an aggregated turnover of less than $20 million that are in a tax loss position.
- Rebate up to 43.5 cents from every dollar spent on R&D
- Manage cash-flow
- Improve R&D project and knowledge management
- Ensure compliance with R&D legislation
Working with Ethical Review Process for rapid Start-up
Selection of appropriate HRECs for early phase oncology trials in Australia is of primary importance in attaining a fast start-up and trial completion. The Avance team uses its experience with a network of over 30 sites in Australia in preparing HREC approval plans which aim to fast study start with a minimal number of submissions. The scientific and ethical review of clinical trials in Australia is managed by the Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC). To ensure a fast start-up of clinical trials, Avance Clinical selects sites that utilise rapid HREC. All study documentation is submitted electronically via eProtocol 2 weeks before a meeting. From submission of the application to communication of the review decision, these HREC have an approximate turnaround time of 20 working days. Due to this streamlined regulatory and ethical review process, Avance Clinical can achieve a Site Initiation Visit (SIV) and commence a study within 5 – 6 weeks of submission to the HREC.
“Avance’s scientific and medical affairs team assists clients to navigate regulatory submissions and ethics study approval through the provision of advice relating to the content of Investigators Brochures and proposed study designs and protocols. This ensures speed of ethics review and approval,” says Gabriel Kremmidiotis, Avance Clinical’s Chief Scientific Officer.
Case Study: Avance Clinical – The Clinical Trial Checklist – How we work
Site Selection and Activation
Avance Clinical has a significant database of clinical research sites that we approach for oncology studies. Our feasibility strategy involves initial reach out to Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) in Australia (and if applicable, other countries through our partner CROs). Our aim is to find influential KOLs that actively perform for studies to select as our key sites. The impact of this is that other sites will be drawn to participation based on the involvement of the KOL.
Following the initial reach out and expression of interest by the investigator, we send the investigators information and a questionnaire for the study and engage them through either a phone call or in-person conversation. If the interested investigator has the targeted patient population, we follow up with the conduct of a pre-study site assessment visit to confirm the qualification of the site.
Managing Patient Accrual
Our strategy for managing patient recruitment includes prospective, dynamic and retrospective aspects.
We prospectively generate accrual estimates obtained during initial site feasibility. The process involves consultation with prospective study investigators on the patient population to be accrued to the study as well as consideration of the proposed study eligibility criteria and any other concurrent competing trials.
Furthermore, our projections for patient recruitment and our estimate of site number requirements take into consideration timeframes and accrual rates of studies we have managed in the past, plus benchmark recruitment data from TrialTrove as well as public domain data available for completed studies of similar design, patient number and disease.
Biometrics & Medical Writing Considerations
Avance Clinical has developed robust biometrics processes for key operational aspects of studies including for the data management, biostatistics and medical writing deliverables. The Avance Clinical data management and medical writing teams provide a nimble and fully in-house solution. The advantage is streamlined delivery including the following indicative timelines:
*This timeline relies on timely responses from all stakeholders reviewing the draft Case Report Form. However, the experienced Avance Data Management team will drive this process.
- The Avance Clinical biostatistics team is also a full in-house service and co-located with the data management team in the Adelaide (Australia) office. This creates adaptability and flexible delivery due to their increased ability for real-time communication and problem solving.
- Following the provision of the draft Tables Listing and Figures (TLFs) to our clients for review, the completion of the final TLFs and the Clinical Study Report is reliant on the review time from the client team.
- Our Statistical and Pharmacokinetics Services team services conform to the regulatory-compliant CDISC model, with a focus on the SDTM and ADaM standards and their supporting documentation. We ensure full data traceability and track value level metadata so that our supporting Define.xml complies with Pinnacle21 validation and our deliverables are submission-ready for your clinical research trial.
The Clinical Project Team
Avance provides each trial with a dedicated Clinical Project Manager (CPM) to ensure that milestones are reached, timelines are met and that our clients receive effective communication and ongoing status reports.
From the first conversation to the delivery of the final report, our clients are fully informed throughout the process; irrespective of project complexity.
Our CPM will be involved in all aspects of clinical trial management, including:
- Site feasibility assessments, investigator selection, and site selection
- Study design and Protocol review
- Development of patient information and consent forms
- Ethics Committee submissions
- Review of eCRF design and development
- Oversight of site monitoring activities & cross-functional management.
The Avance CPM is also the single point of contact for our clients. Following the award of the study to Avance, the CMP will organise a study Kick-Off meeting involving both the client team and key Avance team assigned to the project. The CPM then liaises with all Avance teams involved throughout the study to manage the study timelines, deliverables and overall communications. The organisational chart below is indicative of the project team set-up.
The Avance team is a highly experienced, streamlined team with a ‘can-do’, solution focussed mindset including a very experienced team of Project Managers.
Avance Clinical has the therapeutic experience, flexible and robust quality processes and experienced team necessary to support biotech and pharma companies to expedite the development of much needed new therapies and we welcome the opportunity to discuss your program further and explore how we can best support your development needs.
Robust Systems that Drive Quality
Avance understands that the success of clinical program delivery is also underpinned by having robust systems that drive quality. From the ability to develop eCRFs utilising Medrio or Medidata, the review and analysis of data utilising MedDRA and WHO-DD for coding, Phoenix WinNonlin for Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic analysis, SAS for statistical analysis and CDISC capabilities Avance has a full suite of best in class systems to deliver quality outcomes. Program delivery is also supported by the Flex Databases Clinical Trial Management System and eQuality Management System and eLearning Management System from MasterControl. | <urn:uuid:4d2220e8-f856-485b-80a0-535cabeaa086> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://endpts.com/sp/how-australia-delivers-rapid-start-up-and-43-5-rebate-for-early-phase-oncology-trials/ | 2023-09-27T12:10:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.911822 | 2,864 |

Have you ever noticed something swimming in your field of vision?
It may look like a tiny worm or a transparent blob,
and whenever you try to get a closer look, it disappears,
only to reappear as soon as you shift your glance.
But don't go rinsing out your eyes!
What you are seeing is a common phenomenon
known as a floater.
The scientific name for these objects is Muscae volitantes,
Latin for "flying flies,"
and true to their name, they can be somewhat annoying.
But they're not actually bugs or any kind of external objects at all.
Rather, they exist inside your eyeball.
Floaters may seem to be alive, since they move and change shape,
but they are not alive.
Floaters are tiny objects that cast shadows on the retina,
the light-sensitive tissue at the back of your eye.
They might be bits of tissue,
red blood cells,
or clumps of protein.
And because they're suspended within the vitreous humor,
the gel-like liquid that fills the inside of your eye,
floaters drift along with your eye movements,
and seem to bounce a little when your eye stops.
Floaters may be only barely distinguishable most of the time.
They become more visible the closer they are to the retina,
just as holding your hand closer to a table with an overhead light
will result in a more sharply defined shadow.
And floaters are particularly noticeable
when you are looking at a uniform bright surface,
like a blank computer screen,
or a clear sky,
where the consistency of the background makes them easier to distinguish.
The brighter the light is, the more your pupil contracts.
This has an effect similar to replacing a large diffuse light fixture
with a single overhead light bulb,
which also makes the shadow appear clearer.
There is another visual phenomenon that looks similar to floaters
but is in fact unrelated.
If you've seen tiny dots of light darting about
when looking at a bright blue sky,
you've experienced what is known as the blue field entoptic phenomenon.
In some ways, this is the opposite of seeing floaters.
Here, you are not seeing shadows
but little moving windows letting light through to your retina.
The windows are actually caused by white blood cells
moving through the capillaries along your retina's surface.
These leukocytes can be so large that they nearly fill a capillary
causing a plasma space to open up in front of them.
Because the space and the white blood cells
are both more transparent to blue light
than the red blood cells normally present in capillaries,
we see a moving dot of light wherever this happens,
following the paths of your capillaries and moving in time with your pulse.
Under ideal viewing conditions,
you might even see what looks like a dark tail following the dot.
This is the red blood cells that have bunched up behind the leukocyte.
Some science museums have an exhibit which consists of a screen of blue light,
allowing you to see these blue sky sprites much more clearly than you normally would.
While everybody's eyes experience these sort of effects,
the number and type vary greatly.
In the case of floaters,
they often go unnoticed, as our brain learns to ignore them.
However, abnormally numerous
or large floaters that interfere with vision
may be a sign of a more serious condition, requiring immediate medical treatment.
But the majority of the time entoptic phenomena,
such as floaters and blue sky sprites,

A new Fasthosts Internet Ltd survey* has revealed that British firms may be placing themselves at risk through an over-reliance on IT or web consultants who look after their website.
The study* found that many firms do not have simple arrangements in place to retain basic control or in some cases even legal ownership of their website and domains.
Ever broadening consumer expectations for the web has led more firms than ever (43%) to opt for using the services of skilled web professionals to help create and maintain their website. 92% of these companies rate their external web consultants positively, with 38% reporting a ‘good’ return on investment. However, the Fasthosts ‘SME & the Web’ study found that many UK companies may be risking revenue and reputation as a result of weaknesses in their workflows with such third parties.
Issues can occasionally arise between companies and external web partners. During the past 2 years, 1 in 4 firms paying for an external web professional have had their website off-line as a result of a problem related to the other party. 1 in 5 businesses incurred delays to projects caused by their external partner, and 17% reported losses of both staff time and sales revenue over £1000 as a result. For 14% of respondents, an external advisor or agency had gone out of business.
A large number of small companies are failing to take basic steps to safeguard the continuity and protection of their web presence. In the event of an issue with their external partner, 56% of firms have no way of making any changes or additions to their website themselves and 80% have no facility for switching their website on/off independently. For these businesses, the link to their external web professional is a single point of failure in their online presence. Whilst UK firms invest millions in professional web design each year, 70% of those using a web designer do not retain a back-up copy of their website themselves. | <urn:uuid:f0d3882e-2d48-4e63-8ec5-22834a1f6a2e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://eprinternetnews.com/2010/08/ | 2023-09-27T10:46:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.973721 | 394 |

The measurement of the C3 component of the serum complement is used in the control of patients with a very low total complement concentration and in the evaluation of disease activity in systemic lupus erythematosus.
The complement is a term that describes 20 specific serum proteins belonging to the globulins which in combination with the antigen-antibody complexes induce lysate-sensitized red blood cells with the antibody contained in the complex. The nine key components of the complement are named C1 to C9.
Component C3 is one of the nine essential constituents of all complement proteins and is involved in both the classical and alternative pathways of complement activation that function in humoral immune responses. Activation of complement functions occurs during phagocytic activity, destruction of microorganisms, and inflammatory response. This test evaluates the integrity of successive complement activation processes and increases during acute phase responses and in inflammatory processes. Sequential determinations of C3 levels may reflect the progress of these processes, based on the return of values to normal levels.
Possible Interpretations of Pathological Values
- Increase: Acute phase responses such as infection, dermatomyositis, inflammation, keratoconus, metastatic malignancy, necrotic disorders, rheumatic fever, rheumatoid arthritis
- Decrease: Anemia (malignant due to folic acid deficiency), anorexia nervosa, arthralgia, celiac disease, cirrhosis, C3 congenital insufficiency, diffuse intravascular coagulation, glomerulonephritis (acute), hepatitis (chronic), hepatitis (chronic) pyogenic), liver disease (chronic), malnutrition, multiple myeloma, multiple sclerosis, renal transplant rejection, septicemia (from Gram negative microbes), seronegia, subacute bacterial endocarditis (systemic lupus erythematosus), uremia
Laboratory test results are the most important parameter for the diagnosis and monitoring of all pathological conditions. 70%-80% of diagnostic decisions are based on laboratory tests. Correct interpretation of laboratory results allows a doctor to distinguish "healthy" from "diseased".
Laboratory test results should not be interpreted from the numerical result of a single analysis. Test results should be interpreted in relation to each individual case and family history, clinical findings and the results of other laboratory tests and information. Your personal physician should explain the importance of your test results.
At Diagnostiki Athinon we answer any questions you may have about the test you perform in our laboratory and we contact your doctor to get the best possible medical care. | <urn:uuid:cb023008-71c8-4b5b-b870-8cbabd03779d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://eshop.athenslab.gr/en/diagnostic-tests/complement-component-c3-serum-457 | 2023-09-27T11:55:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.865415 | 550 |
Direct-cost and overhead variances, income statement. The Green space Company started business on January 1, 2017. The company adopted a standard costing system for the production of ergonomic backpacks. Greenspace chose direct labor as the application base for overhead and decided to use the proration method to account for variances at year-end.
In 2017, Greenspace expected to make and sell 160,000 backpacks; each was budgeted to use 2 yards of fabric and require 0.5 hours of direct labor work. The company expected to pay $2 per yard for fabric and compensate workers at an hourly wage of $12. Greenspace has no variable overhead costs, but budgeted $800,000 for fixed manufacturing overhead in 2017.
In 2017, Greenspace actually made 180,000 backpacks and sold 144,000 of them for a total revenue of $2,592,000.
The costs incurred were as follows:
1. Compute the following variances for 2017, and indicate whether each is favorable (F) or unfavorable (U):
a. Direct materials efficiency variance
b. Direct materials price variance
c. Direct manufacturing labor efficiency variance
d. Direct manufacturing labor price variance
e. Fixed overhead flexible-budget variance
f. Fixed overhead production-volume variance
2. Compute Greenspace Company’s gross margin for its first year of operation.

Long Covid (II): “Two years later, I now feel better”
For 7 months, Tim had digestive problems and fatigue, and still struggles with concentration. His mother also had to adapt her lifestyle to the long-term effects of Covid-19.
Protestante Digital · BARCELONA · 15 AUGUST 2022 · 12:30 CET
Tim Py (28 years old) was infected with Covid-19 only days before Carla, also at the beginning of March 2020, when the majority of the population in Spain had not yet been confined. “The first infections were starting to arrive from Italy. I was at a youth camp in Soria (a city in the north of Spain), giving some talks”, he recalls.
“The first two weeks were like having a strong flu, but without any further problems or need for hospitalisation. I spent it at home, with my family, taking supplements and vitamins, and resting a lot”, Tim says.
The problems came when he realised that he was not fully recovering, even though the weeks continued to go by. “Often I would feel like I was getting better, but then the symptoms would come back and I would be totally exhausted and sick for three or four days. That cycle kept repeating itself over the weeks, and then the months, so we started to worry and after half a year we heard about the ‘persistent Covid’ collective, people talking about cases like mine”.
Tim spent 7 months “with quite severe digestive problems, debilitating fatigue, nausea and great inability to concentrate”. “After that, my health slowly improved, but with several relapses. The stomach and nausea improved, but the physical and mental fatigue and difficulty concentrating persisted until after two years”, he explains.
“The physical and mental fatigue, as well as the difficulty concentrating, persisted until after two years”. “I am now at 90% of my physical capacity, but only 70% cognitively. Physically I have improved a lot and only occasionally I feel some fatigue. Cognitively I find it hard to concentrate for long periods of time, or to multitask, although I have recovered quite a bit”.
Like Carla (see first part of this article), Tim has also undergone blood ozone treatment over the past few months. “I have noticed its effect and it has led to an improvement in my ability to exert myself and concentrate. This treatment is private and quite expensive, as there is no treatment for Long Covid through the public health system, and in some places not even a diagnosis”, Tim laments.
“Two years and three months after I got Covid, I feel much better”
Sigrid Py (59) became infected with the coronavirus shortly after her son Tim. “It was like a very strong flu with a lot of tiredness, a lot of headache, stomach aches, some swelling of the throat, some difficulty breathing, sometimes a little fever and a slight dry cough that persisted after several weeks, and for which I went to a health centre to have my lungs checked, although apparently there was nothing wrong with me”, she says.
Although she felt better after three weeks, for Sigrid the feeling of fatigue and sickness continued even as the months passed. “What persisted was an unusual vulnerability to wind and fresh air, which easily gave me a cough again, and some prickling in my heart for which I consulted a cardiologist, as well as some cognitive fatigue”, she says. “Four months after infection, we took a trip to Germany by plane, which made me unusually tired”, she adds. Shortly afterwards, she suffered “a new episode of fatigue, which this time ended in diplopia (double vision)”. “Thankfully, this distressing reaction was absorbed over the next few weeks. But the fragility, in terms of strength, remained and lasted for more than a year. I had developed post-viral chronic fatigue, which was diagnosed as such in the summer of 2021”.
“On a psychological level, I experienced the lack of energy and initiative very badly. I didn’t feel like myself”Although Sigrid suffered from symptoms such as constant “vulnerability to any physical, mental or emotional effort or overload”, in combination with “headaches, sometimes stomach pains, digestive problems, discomfort in different parts of the body, insomnia, cognitive fatigue and 'mental fog', lack of energy” or even “an acute ear infection that ended in chronic tinnitus”, she has often been told that her case was too mild or that she did not need rehabilitation.
“Thank God, two years and three months later, I feel much better, perhaps because of the time that has passed, the adaptation of my lifestyle, and the amount of supplements and hydrogenated water I have been taking to strengthen the immune system and fight fatigue”, she says.
But how to live with such symptoms and the feeling of fatigue and vulnerability on a daily basis? Just as the virus has affected people differently, taking the lives of 110,775 people in Spain alone, each person with Long Covid has adapted their routine to the new reality in their own way.
“I get very tired of engaging in conversations and seeing people, although I have always been very social”For Carla Martínez, it is something that has affected “all areas, from driving, making the bed or reading, to working or studying”. In fact, she has had to pause and postpone the master’s degree she was studying. “I have many friends I have not been able to see since before the pandemic. I get very tired of engaging in conversations and seeing people, although I have always been very social. The energy of those of us with ‘persistent covid’ is limited. If I read a book I might not be able to do anything else that afternoon. To see friends I have to rest days before and days after in order to compensate for the effort. I have to force myself to do everything little by little, which is difficult in a society where everything goes so fast”, she says.
So says her husband, Chris Dirks. “Carla’s illness has meant a change in our dynamic as a couple and in my responsibilities as a husband. It's hard to remember all the phases, but for me, it’s now about being sensitive to her condition every day and caring for her in her weakness. There are days when she has a little more energy and it’s exciting to go for a walk or do an activity, and there are days when the main event is cooking a recipe together. I’ve had to learn to walk slowly, not to multitask, not to switch quickly from one topic of conversation to another. We have had to simplify our lives”, Dirk explains.
Now, he adds, “I know what things drain her energy and how I can help her rest. When she needs to eat, or take medication, or sit for a while, and if we are doing things at a pace that is right for her. I’ve also had to learn not to overwhelm her with my questions and concerns, but to adjust to what she tells me she needs”, Chris adds.
In the case of Tim, a missionary in Spain, director of the Christian Surfers Spain ministry and currently collaborating with the ‘Hogar Asubio’ in Cantabria, Long Covid has disrupted his usual activity, affecting above all his ability to concentrate. “On a relational level it has been a great challenge, especially during the months when I was worse”, he adds. “I wanted to do things with friends, to go out, to distract myself, but I didn’t have the energy for it. I ended up not enjoying those times and feeling the need to rest, even though I had done virtually no effort. It was very frustrating”.
Sigrid, a counsellor, has been particularly affected by the chronic fatigue, which “makes her unable to lead the life she had before, which is difficult to accept”, she says. “I have had to postpone different projects, turn down some ministry opportunities, give up making plans and limit myself to doing the bare essentials every day, both at home, in ministry and in my family relationships”, she says. “On a psychological level, I experienced the lack of energy and initiative very badly. I didn’t feel like myself”, she remarks.
This is the second part of three of an in-depth article on the effects of Long Covid. Part one was published here and part three will be available on Evangelical Focus before the end of August.

160 million: child labour on the rise
World Vision says the effect of the pandemic could mean that another nine million children could be added to this figure by 2022.
Protestante Digital · MADRID · 13 JUNE 2022 · 12:05 CET
Child labour affects around 160 million children between the ages of 5 and 17 worldwide, according to World Vision.
The Christian-inspired organisation has underlined this reality on the occasion of the World Day against Child Labour, on 12 June.
8.9 million more children could be added by 2022, says the NGO, as a consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic, and if mitigation strategies are not put in place. Thee need for urgent income prevents children from accessing education and gaining opportunities to break the cycle of poverty of their families.
“Child labour is a serious violation of children’s rights. During the Covid-19 crisis we have seen an alarming increase in child labour as families struggle to make ends meet”, says Charo Izquierdo, World Vision’s programme and advocacy coordinator in Spain. “The situation experienced by millions of families has been desperate and has forced them to make decisions that have dire consequences for children”.
70% of child labourers in agriculture
According to the International Labour Organisation (ILO), around 70% of children who work do so in agriculture. Some 79 million children work in dangerous conditions and situations that pose a serious risk to their health, such as carrying heavy loads in construction or digging in mines.
In addition, the World Vision reports cases of domestic service or forced labour, such as child soldiers or children exploited in human trafficking and the sex trade. “We have a big challenge ahead of us that needs funding and support from all actors involved, international agencies, governments, businesses and society. Supporting the livelihoods of families is fundamental to breaking cycles of poverty and protecting children’s rights”, Izquierdo said.
Wakeel and Pinky
Wakeel is one of the names that stands out among the child labour figures. The ten-year-old Afghan boy works as a shoeshine boy, walking the streets of his city for eleven hours a day to generate income for his family. In Afghanistan, World Vision says, half of families have sent their children to work in the past year. Until the fall of the government to the Taliban, some 60,000 children were working in the capital, Kabul. The organisation claims that this figure has tripled with the change in government.
With the pandemic, half of the families in Afghanistan have sent their children to work / World Vision.
The pandemic has resulted in 28 per cent of households in Cambodia being affected by child labour, and in Bangladesh it is as high as 34 per cent. There, ten-year-old Pinky has had to drop out of school to work in factories. “There is no excuse for this to happen in the 21st century. With urgent action, based on raising awareness of children’s rights, encouraging school enrolment and helping families improve their incomes, and by partnering with governments and businesses to prevent child labour, we can still meet our global commitment to end child labour by 2025”, adds Izquierdo. | <urn:uuid:e12cb5f5-f5c5-474d-ba2a-1852194e0332> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://evangelicalfocus.com/world/17262/160-million-child-labour-on-the-rise | 2023-09-27T11:48:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.961808 | 674 |

Katie Rizzuto | Team Rizzuto
Happy Kickoff everyone!
Today marks the start of the seven-week campaign, and I'm so excited to start fundraising after all the preparation myself and my team have done! Thank you for your support and have a great day!
It's officially the week of kickoff, and everyone's been working so hard to get everything ready! I'm so excited to kick this fundraiser off and to share my story with all of you. I've recieved a lot of support from my family, my wonderful team, and my awesome campaign manager Morgan. Thank you to everyone who's helped me, and I'm so excited to see the outcome of our work!
Hello! My name is Katie Rizzuto, I'm a junior at Carmel High School.
I'm running in honor of my grandma, who passed away from cancer when I was three. She recieved her diagnosis almost 15 years prior to this, but because of research that was experimental at this time she was able to meet me and my brother. I want to honor her, and give my family a space to honor her as well. Her story is why I'm running in support of the research pillar of LLS. I want to contribute to the development of new treatments for cancer, to give another family the opportunity she had.
This is my second year fundraising for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, and I'm honored and excited to be able to continue my work from last year. Thank you all for your support in the fight to end cancer! | <urn:uuid:e5fcc0f2-625a-488b-98c3-a3fbbcc9e3fa> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://events.lls.org/in/svoyIndiana23/krizzuto | 2023-09-27T10:56:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.97214 | 332 |
Place the flour, salt and sugar in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, about 10 seconds.
With machine running, slowly pour the ice water through the feed tube until the dough just comes together in a ball.
Divide the dough into two pieces, one slightly larger than the other. Flatten a little, dust with flour and wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least one hour or overnight.
For the Pie Filling
2 ½ pounds (about 6 cups) fresh cherries, pitted, or 2 ¼ pounds (about 6 cups) of fresh blueberries
1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
¼ cup cornstarch
juice of ½ lemon
¼ teaspoon salt
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, stir to combine, set aside.
for the Glaze:
2 tablespoons heavy cream
¼ cup sanding sugar or granulated sugar
To make the pie:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the larger piece of dough into a rectangle, a little bit larger than your baking sheet.
The original recipe calls for a 15×10 baking sheet, but I used a 13×10 quarter sheet pan.
To make this easier, place a piece of plastic wrap on your working surface, dust with flour.
Place pie dough on top, dust with flour and place another sheet of plastic wrap on top.
When your dough is the right size, lay your rolling pin on top of the top sheet of plastic wrap.
Start rolling the dough around the rolling pin, leaving the bottom sheet of plastic wrap on your working surface.
Dust the dough around the rolling pin as you go, so it will not stick to itself.
Lift rolling pin over your baking sheet on one end and unroll dough.
Remove plastic wrap from top.
Fit into your rimmed baking sheet, pressing into corners (pastry will hang over sides).
Spread filling into pie shell.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out remaining piece of dough to the size of your pan. Using same method as above, drape dough over filling. Fold edge of bottom dough over top dough. Pinch edges to seal Prick the top dough all over with a fork. Brush the entire surface of the pie with the cream and sprinkle with the sugar.
Bake until crust is golden brown about 40 to 55 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool just until the pie is still warm to the touch. Serve warm or a room temperature. Cut into 12 pieces.
Slab pie can be kept at room temperature, loosely covered with plastic wrap, for up to 2 days.
Make ahead tip:
You can make this pie in the morning and then stick it in the fridge. When it comes time to bake it, there is no need to bring it to room temperature. Just pop it in the oven.

Your efforts to improve patient experience and safety will forever fall short if patients and their care partners are not actively involved in every aspect of care as critical members of their own health care team.
You’ve been teaching staff to engage patients.
We teach patients to engage staff.
Are you confident that your patients, families and staff are engaging in fully collaborative partnerships that contribute to the safest, most compassionate and effective care possible?
CE courses are commonly offered to health care personnel to learn shared decision making and to understand the value of patient engagement. Onboarding training in person-centered care is often mandatory as is systemwide training in quality and safety. While these efforts help your staff gain skills that benefit themselves, your hospital and their patients, that’s only one side of any health care conversation.
It’s becoming widely accepted that the patient’s viewpoint is a crucial component to the delivery of care, yet these efforts generally focus on training the care team to engage with the patient – without directly addressing how to equip the patient to be part of the care team. We fill that critical gap.
The Excitant Solution
A true Culture of Collaborative Care must include the patient and family as full partners to bridge the patient engagement gap.
Our evidence-based solutions not only equip your patients and families with the necessary knowledge and tools to be more effective partners in their own care, we also equip your care teams with the tools they need to better receive and foster the input of the patient and family.
All in. All on the same page.
Our onsite program for health care settings provides intake coaching for patients and families as well as workshops for health care professionals to create the synergy necessary for safe, effective care.
Educating your staff improves their ability to provide safe, compassionate care.
Educating patients and families in how to effectively collaborate takes their care and experience to the next level: improving staff morale, safety and quality of care, and reducing hospital acquired conditions, re-hospitalizations and preventable errors.
When all parties work together, respecting what each brings to the table, you finally have synergy.
"...the largest, yet most neglected healthcare resource, worldwide, is the patient"

Greg Dulli Biltmore Cabaret, Vancouver BC, March 22
Published Mar 23, 2016"Who the fuck is Greg Dulli?"
The question was emblazoned on the single T-shirt hung at the merchandise table at Vancouver's Biltmore Cabaret on Tuesday night (March 22). Dulli — the frontman for alternative rock bands the Afghan Whigs and the Twilight Singers, and one-half of the Gutter Twins — is well-known for his brooding vocals and soul-crushing songwriting, strengths that took centre stage on this stop of his current tour, a stripped down solo run billed as An Evening with Greg Dulli. The tour, which has enjoyed stops at smaller venues including churches and synagogues, has found Dulli leading his band (comprised of fellow Whigs, violinist-cellist Rick Nelson and guitarist Dave Rosser) through a selection of songs that span his lengthy career.
Before things began, the stagehand informed the crowd of two rules: no flash photography and no cell phone distractions. "Enjoy the music here, not through your phone." Stepping around the array of instruments scattered about the stage that they would rotate through, Dulli and his band strapped in to cheers and applause. Reaching far back to the Whigs' 1993 major label debut, Gentlemen, they broke into "If I Were Going," washing the room in contemplative ambience as Dulli worked his acoustic guitar against Rosser's sharp electric and the grand tones of Nelson's cello.
Dulli's voice, booming on "Too Tough to Die" and beautifully heart-wrenching on "The Lure Would Prove Too Much," lulled the crowd into a daze that they'd later momentarily snap out of to dance to the rock stomp of "Teenage Wristband." He lightly scolded an audience member for breaking one of the evening's two rules — using the flash on his camera — to which the patron apologized and Dulli accepted before teasingly shouting, "I quit!"
Not restricting himself to his own compositions, Dulli channelled Marvin Gaye on "Please Stay (Once You Go Away) and referenced the Beatles on "Forty Dollars" with a crowd-pleasing "she loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah." His commanding version of traditional folk song "Black Is The Colour (Of My True Love's Hair)" was a highlight of the night, with Leonard Cohen's "Paper Thin Hotel," which brought him to the keyboards, following close behind.
For the encore, Dulli returned to the keys and crooned over hazy pangs on "Candy Cane Crawl," getting up from his seat and picking up his acoustic to end the evening on a spirited note with "Summer's Kiss." To a wild ovation, he grinned at the room, having painted a fairly thorough portrait of just who the fuck Greg Dulli is. | <urn:uuid:35be9f65-885b-4a35-bd2b-854266fd69d2> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://exclaim.ca/music/article/greg_dulli-biltmore_cabaret_vancouver_bc_march_22 | 2023-09-27T11:15:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.97172 | 601 |

With a train that terminates at 9pm, does it make sense to spend 45 minutes travelling 45 minutes? A lot of time may be better spent elsewhere. You should constantly keep an eye on your travel times and the accessibility of the places you often visit. If it’s too difficult to travel to your friends, they’re not going to bother making an evening effort to get together. As a result of getting up two hours earlier to come to work, you may find yourself coming late more often, which isn’t a good look at the office. If you want to find warehouse for rent in dubai, we can help you out.
Is it possible for you to pay the mortgage?
Finding the right house but not being able to afford it is one of life’s worst disappointments. You begin to assume that you can afford a home that really isn’t realistic as a result of this progressive climb in cost. Don’t only look at the rent; but look at the council tax and ask about the typical utilities bills. Observe the appliances in use and kind of heating system, as well as whether or not there are double-paned windows in the home.
Is there any further cost?
Even if you can’t recall exactly how much each estate agent charges, if you’re already renting from the same agency, you may be able to save money. You’ll be well-known to them by this time.
Are you happy with how things are going?
On a hot summer day, it’s hard to imagine what a damp, mouldy, draughty home may look like in the dead of winter. If you’re looking at a property in the winter and it’s well-insulated, you could miss the fact that it has inadequate ventilation or constantly noisy neighbours down the street. This is also true. That is to say, do the same due diligence on the rental property that you would on a purchase. Before your tenancy begins, inquire about any issues that may arise. | <urn:uuid:d4c034f4-4822-4637-9b27-6435dfd94aa6> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://expressdigest.net/think-about-your-possibilities-before-renting-a-house/ | 2023-09-27T11:14:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.956277 | 441 |

ItThe “I want a divorce” conversation is guaranteed to be bad, especially if your relationship with your spouse isn’t ideal. This will be especially difficult if they are prone to angry tantrums. If this is the kind of situation you are facing, you need to prepare for this conversation very carefully and the following tips will help you.
But before this, be advised that you need to use a different approach when divorcing an abusive spouse. In this case, you should talk to a lawyer first and, if necessary, leave the house when the threat of violence is high.
Do not blindside your spouse with the news
Everyone can get angry and some people are more prone to it. This means that their first reaction to shocking news is guaranteed to be unpleasant. Therefore, the most important thing to do when telling your temperamental spouse that you want a divorce is to make sure you don’t catch them by surprise.
It’s always best to start with requests for marriage counseling or, at least, with discussions about your relationship. Get your thoughts and feelings out in the open to make sure that your spouse knows why you are unsatisfied with the relationship. A conversation about divorce should come later as a logical progression from this dissatisfaction.
Choose your time right
When you are ready to talk about divorce, you need to choose the right moment. It’s imperative to time this conversation in a way that will allow your spouse privacy to “digest” it afterward. It’s also very important to ensure you have the privacy to both talk and process.
Consider your spouse’s work as well. It wouldn’t do to have this conversation on top of some stressful situation. Also, if you have kids, you should send them away for the weekend, if possible.
Prepare for the process
You should do preliminary research on the subject so you know what to expect and can help explain this to your spouse. At this point, you should be asking “can I get divorce online?” and “how does property division work in my state?” Finding answers to these questions will allow you to understand how much time and money the divorce process will cost you and how exactly you and your spouse can resolve the issue of marital property.
Based on this information, you will be able to decide how best to go about separating. For example, you’ll know whether you should try to sell the house before the divorce or if one of you can keep it.
Knowing these details in advance will help you outline your wishes for the future clearly so you and your spouse can start negotiating right away. Preparing an info packet for your spouse should also help mitigate their temper as angry outbursts are often caused by uncertainty that comes with news of major changes. Help your spouse see exactly what the divorce will consist of and how it will impact both of your lives on the basest levels.
Prepare to manage the anger
Even a person not prone to anger can, in fact, become angry when faced with such unpleasant news as divorce. Therefore, you should know how to mitigate this kind of reaction. It will be up to you to deescalate the situation and to do this you need to keep your calm and think rationally.
It’s very important to not antagonize your spouse if they react with anger and say hurtful things. Do not retaliate or try to justify yourself as this will only add fuel to the “fire”. Instead, calmly explain why exactly you believe this is the best decision. Use “I” phrases and focus on explaining your feelings.
Also, be ready to compromise. It might be best to start with a trial separation so both of you can cool off before continuing the conversation. | <urn:uuid:ed412297-97bd-4af4-aecd-3427d8f328b0> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://fabnewz.com/how-to-tell-your-angry-spouse-that-you-want-a-divorce/ | 2023-09-27T11:57:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.959809 | 784 |
Spatial variation and survival of Salmonella enterica subspecies in a population of Australian sleepy lizards (Tiliqua rugosa)

The life cycles of many enteric bacterial species require a transition between two very distinct environments. Their primary habitat is the gastrointestinal tract of the host, while their secondary habitat, during transmission from one host to another, consists of environments external to the host, such as soil, water, and sediments. Consequently, both host and environmental factors shape the genetic structure of enteric bacterial populations. This study examined the distribution of four Salmonella enterica subspecies in a population of sleepy lizards, Tiliqua rugosa, in a semiarid region of South Australia. The lizards living within the 1,920-m by 720-m study site were radio tracked, and their enteric bacteria were sampled at regular intervals throughout their active seasons in the years 2001, 2002, and 2006. Four of the six subspecies of S. enterica were present in this population and were nonrandomly distributed among the lizards. In particular, S. enterica subsp. diarizonae was restricted to lizards living in the most shaded parts of the study site with an overstorey of Casuarina trees. Experiments undertaken to investigate the survival of S. enterica cells under seminatural conditions revealed that cell survival decreased with increased exposure to elevated temperatures and UV light. Among the three S. enterica subspecies tested, S. enterica subsp. diarizonae consistently had an average expected life span that was shorter than that observed for the other two subspecies. There was no indication in the data that there was any competitive dominance hierarchy among the S. enterica subspecies within individual hosts. Thus, the nonrandom distribution of S. enterica subspecies in this population of lizards appears to be driven by their different survival characteristics in the external environment.

Royal Court Jerwood Theatre Downstairs – until 17th June 2023
Reviewed by Ben Jolly
The aptly titled, all of it was previously seen at the Royal Court back in February 2020, written by Alistair McDowall and starring Kate O’Flynn in the one woman play where we witness an entire life in 45 minutes; from birth to death, the story of baby to old lady (and everything in between… “Driving to work”) is presented to us in a highly stylised poetic form.
With the same title, the piece has been expanded upon with two more monologues that were written specifically for O’Flynn during 2020. Despite the fact that from first glance the three parts of the play do not feel connected in any way shape or form, there are subtle moments that with a keen eye and ear you can understand the connective narration tying the pieces together as one. As McDowall puts it, “Plays often emerge when you realise two things you’d thought separate are actually one and the same.”
The first poem of the night is Northleigh, 1940 and we open with an eerie, other worldly and yet strikingly beautiful sight, created by designer Merle Hensel and with lighting by Elliot Griggs. The opening feels like the playwright is parodying their own material with the heightened fantastical language that is largely attributed to their previous body of work, McDowall creates a sense of fear and thrill; and within the first two minutes we understand that the rule book has well and truly been thrown out of the window for tonight!
Kate O’Flynn hits the ground running in her solo venture. She performs with such command of the language and has the ability to grab the audience’s attention with just the slightest nuance. Her palatable presence parades the stage and she owns the night with her humour and raw delivery. O’Flynn is mesmerising.
We delve further into this naturally unnatural world with the even more off the wall piece, In Stereo in which, through the impressive use of video design by Lewis den Hertog and sound artist/composer Melanie Wilson create a completely disturbing and haunting universe. With an overindulgence of the senses, we at times don’t know where to look or which voice to tune into and thus are bombarded to the point of sheer frustration – a thrilling time indeed!
For the denouement, we come full circle and back to experience all of it. Vicky Featherstone has taken the helm to direct for the second time, succeeding Sam Pritchard who directed the first two poems of the night. There is an initial sense of discomfort with a complete change in set, lighting, sound and performance by O’Flynn, we’re in yet another world, another part of McDowall’s mind and we are taken on the journey of someone else’s lifetime.
It is here when the pieces of the puzzle come together and we start to see the bigger picture. It’s such a harrowing notion to conceive that a life can be summed up in a mere 45-minute monologue, and yet after this short time it feels as though we have known this woman her whole life. Can we all be summed up this simply and neatly? Are our lives really taken up so much with the mundane tasks…? “Driving to work”… I don’t believe that this is all McDowall is trying to say, but the third and final poem does bring up the question… is that all of it? | <urn:uuid:26967f0a-76e5-41dd-9fff-7109429ba77d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://fairypoweredproductions.com/all-of-it-review/ | 2023-09-27T12:51:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.962732 | 747 |
York Theatre Royal – 7 October 2016. Reviewed by Marcus Richardson
Underneath A Magical Moon by Tutti Frutti is a children’s show, which I as an adult loved. The piece of creative adaptation was retelling the story of Peter Pan, everyone’s favourite boy from Neverland, and Wendy who finds out what growing up means. The small cast of 3 did no means hinder the production but brought funny characterisation that the kids loved.
The trio of actors were all very good at interacting with kids as they came to sit down in the theatre, having chats about teddies, toys and much more. They were all well trained in acting and can easily switch from one character to another. But the musical ability between the three of them was stunning, playing different instruments, like a saxophone, banjo and clarinet; this blew me out of the water and made an amazing show even better.
The set was very resourceful and clever something that I love about creative adaptation, and I feel that they mastered this element, with the “Clockadile” being made out of rakes and plant pots. And the tent being quickly assembled on stage by the cast. It’s left a lot to the imagination of children which makes it so real and personal to them, which make them more interested and engaged, and you could tell as they were mesmerised by the show, not fidgeting in seats it was a dream for teachers and parents alike.
The actress who played Wendy (Grace Lancaster) stood out for me with her amazing singing voice and acting with other characters, like Peter Pan and Captain Hook. Hook was a rapping pirate (Chris Draper) not to be messed with, and Peter Pan (Jack Brett) was a child without rules. Under the direction of Wendy Harris and the writing skill of Mike Kenny they ensured a great play.
You can see this show, you don’t have to have kids. And it’s at York theatre Royal until the 22nd of October then it tours internationally after the 31st of October. | <urn:uuid:4a805431-20a1-4b69-b6cc-ae073ec23419> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://fairypoweredproductions.com/underneath-magical-moon-review/ | 2023-09-27T11:23:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.982915 | 430 |

“I have given speeches at Rotary Clubs & Kiwanis groups. I want to know how to approach associations, companies, conferences, conventions, etc. – for speaking engagements. Also, should I offer free speeches at these groups in the beginning?”
Edward, thank you for asking the question!
And the answer is…. Yes.
Okay, let me say a little more about that.
Yes, you should offer free speeches to these groups in the beginning for three BIG reasons:
- Free speeches build your name recognition.
- Speaking for free gives you an opportunity to hone your delivery and your material until it ignites hearts and minds.
- Free speaking can also be a gateway to other moneymaking avenues that stem from speaking, like private consulting, training, coaching or product sales.
But here’s news that may shock you: even after you’re “established,” you might also be giving free talks. Only now, they’ll be at the biggest, most prestigious events.
It may sound counterintuitive, but among the most successful speakers, there’s no hard and fast line between speaking for big fees and speaking for free.
Public speakers who use speaking to grow their business, motivate the masses or those who want to make a living of being on stage understand that sometimes, you’ll speak for free because it’s a smart return on investment.
Chris Widener, a personal development and leadership speaker who commands $20,000 a speech told Forbes he’ll “also speak – often for free – at large multilevel marketing conferences large where he sells a variety of products he’s created, including sets of CDs and DVDs, e-books, and hard copy books.”
His take home haul from those events is far north of $20,000.
And now let’s look at how things generally work in the Association/Company/Conference speaking world.
(As always, your mileage may vary.)
Looking for the best way to kick off your association speaking tour?
When you’ve found an industry or association that’s a good fit for your speaking or training topics, offer to present to a local chapter first.
Then, once you’ve delivered a fabulous experience, chapter members will recommend you to other chapters and even to the larger regional or national organization as a speaker.
You see, association chapter leaders communicate and support other chapter leaders by sharing valuable resources…which could include you!
(Within each local chapter of an association, there are often several members who participate in organizing statewide, regional or national events, too.)
How to approach associations for speaking opportunities
You can reach out to these associations cold, and hope that your email and phone calls are persuasive.
And you can send big fat speaker kit packets and cross your fingers.
But I’ve found a different method to be more effective than the “spray and pray” approach.
Find someone in your network who knows someone in that organization:
- Email or call friends, neighbors, and colleagues, asking if they know anyone involved in the association.
- Ask people you meet at events if they know anyone in your target association.
- Look up the association on LinkedIn, which will often show if you have a second-degree connection to one of the association’s members.
Here’s why this approach works better than cold calling: people often ignore solicitations from strangers. After all, association staffers and volunteers are busy.
But a request from a friend or business colleague? That gets an answer.
Of course, if you just can’t find a “warm” connection, go in cold and heat it up! Follow these simple steps:
1. First, spend some time looking at the organization’s website, event calendar and social media to get to know the types of events it holds, topics covered and speakers.
2. Next, find the staff or board listing (in the case of a volunteer-run organization) on the website. Often, you’re looking for someone with Education, Programs or Events in their organizational title. If those are missing, go straight for the Director or President.
3. Then, craft your pitch. Don’t be salesy, but do include a clear description of your topic, your bio and why your topic is a good fit for the organization.
4. Finally, send it off to the organizational contact you found.
5. Follow up as needed. (That usually means two or three times at the most.)
The process for getting speaking opportunities with companies is similar to working with associations.
Find your target companies. Then search your network (using the same process as you did with associations) for a connection to the company, who can then introduce you to the right person to hear your pitch.
If you can’t find a connection, approach local companies directly, often through their Human Resources, or training and development groups. (However, depending on your topic, you may reach out to specific departments, like Sales.)
Here, too, giving a talk or workshop that moves hearts and minds will go a long way toward getting you booked for multiple sessions, long-term training or with other organizations.
Bonus tip: members of associations are often employees of companies! Own the stage at that association chapter meeting first, and then ask the audience members to suggest companies and other organizations that could benefit from hearing your talk.
Another client includes this question on her presentation evaluation form.
Conferences range from one-time gatherings to recurring local, statewide, regional and national events, often organized by associations, companies and media partners.
Some conferences are organized informally, and seek speakers who are recommended by members and peers. (These are typically smaller events.)
Other events have a formal submission process, starting with a Call for Presentations or Call for Speakers. Speakers are typically vetted by a committee that evaluates submissions based on the event’s theme and desired topics as well as the speaker’s experience, reputation and speaking ability.
Pro tip #1: Event organizers know that getting bums in seats is much harder than it used to be.
That’s why some organizers prefer speakers with a large platform – speakers are expected to help market the event to their own subscribers and social media followers.
Pro tip #2: Don’t assume that bigger is better when it comes to getting paid to speak.
I’ve spoken at local, regional and national events from the same industry association. Here’s what happened at each:
- The local event did not pay a speaker’s fee, but I have gotten referrals for business from people who attended my workshop.
- The regional conference (a gathering of the members across 6 or 7 states) paid travel expenses and a small stipend.
- The national conference did not pay a speaker’s fee, nor did it cover travel expenses, contending that speaking at its national conference was an honor beyond payment.
Sad truth: The no-pay for session speakers policy is not unusual. In fact, it’s more common than not. While headliners like New York Times bestselling authors, top athletes, and newsmakers like astronauts, business and political figures may score $15,000 to $75,000 for a single conference keynote, breakout speakers are paid in “exposure.”
Just this week, one of my clients was asked to submit a proposal as a break out speaker for an upcoming national conference.
Here’s what she’d get, if selected:
- Opportunity to influence the practice of [industry] and to enhance the future of the profession
- Promotion of presenter’s credentials on the [Association] website, in Convention programs, and in print and electronic marketing materials including the [Association] 2016 Convention App
- Recognition of presenter’s subject matter expertise by [Association]
- Full complimentary registration to the 2016 [Association] International Convention & Expo in Philadelphia.
[Association] does not pay per diem, honoraria or expenses for session presenters.“
Is it a universal truth that conferences don’t pay breakout speakers? No, but the practice is common and new speakers are often surprised to learn that.
Your fame boosting assignment:
If you’re looking to share your brilliance by speaking at associations, companies and conferences, start by picking three targets.
This week, find your connection to the organization and reach out with a request to speak. (Feel free to get creative with the steps I’ve listed.)

We hope everyone is having a great holiday season, as we have a messy boxing day slate to break down here. The conversation must start with the Toronto Raptors, who are probably hit worse by Covid than any team we have seen all year. On top of the Raptors missing each of their go-to starters and a few key bench pieces, they only have four actual NBA guys today. Chris Boucher, Svi Mykhailiuk, Yuta Watanabe, and Dalano Banton are the only Raptors tonight who did not just get pulled up from the g league. Even these four have all spent time with the Raptors 905 development team recently. These guys are still priced like scrubs, but they should be priced like bona fide studs given the situation. For our content today we will cover some of our favorite Raptors, but we will be sure to touch on value elsewhere in case this one is postponed.
|Shooting Guard||S. Mykhailiuk||$4,600|
|Power Forward||C. Boucher||$5,800|
As we mentioned if the Raptors game is not postponed, they will be our clear priority for value tonight. We do not even really know what this roster is going to look like, as they are still in the process of sorting out replacement guys. However, it is a good bet that the NBA guys who are healthy will all see massive opportunities. Svi Mykhailiuk is going to see a ton of minutes in the starting lineup, but what really makes him a priority is we expect him to be the Raptor’s first option on the perimeter here. Mykhailiuk is going to put up a ton of three’s and he will have the ball in his hands a lot. We cannot expect the production from guys like Mykhailiuk to be anywhere near where they usually produce, as this is one of the crazier injury situations you are ever going to see.
Boucher is the most dynamic player available for Toronto, and it really shouldn’t be a surprise if he has a career night in this spot. Boucher has great upside, and he is a good per-minute producer. We typically don’t see Boucher play massive minutes, but we do not expect that to remain the situation tonight. Boucher should see a ton of run in this spot, and he is a good bet to be Toronto’s first option. Boucher is a bit more expensive than usual at $5,800, but we would play him at $8,000 today.
Here’s a Fade DFS Basketball 12/26/21 (using DraftKings Values)
For our fade yesterday we discussed how there was a lot to pass on from Boston with the return of Jaylen Brown. We have a similar situation in Chicago tonight as Zach Lavine and others have cleared the league’s health protocols. The Bulls studs were already expensive when Lavine was sidelined, as we needed them to show their upside to hit value. Speaking of hitting value, it is not something Nikola Vucevic does very often. He has had one or two good games all season, and in every other outing, he has disappointed where he is priced. He is too expensive at $9,500, and his usage should be worse with some guys coming back.
Now, what do you get if you sign up now for $99?
• One stud from Washington who looks fantastic given the team’s injuries.
• A cheap guard who should see a ton of floor time in this spot.
• Another priority from the Raptors.
• A back-up center who is stepping into the starting unit.
Spencer Dinwiddie – PG ($6,500 DK) The Washington Wizards have played a few games without Bradley Beal this season, and the production we have seen from Dinwiddie is jaw-dropping. Dinwiddie went for 53.75 FPTS without Beal last time out, and we saw him go for over 50 FPTS a few games in a row last time Beal was out. Dinwiddie takes very high usage in these spots, and the Wizards really lean on his playmaking. He should be over $8,000 in this spot, so we are going to play him a lot until either he is priced up or Beal clears protocols.
Frank Jackson – ($4,800 DK) The Detroit Pistons are another team that is absolutely gutted here. Jackson had to play 39 minutes last game, to go with 15 attempts from the field. He went for 31 FPTS last time out, which would be great at this price. Cory Joseph has been ruled out as well here, so Jackson is the only guard left for the Pistons. He should be in for 40 minutes here, which is all we need to know to love him in this spot.
Yuta Watanabe – ($4,700 DK) We are used to looking at Watanabe as a low usage role player, but that is not going to be the situation tonight. Like Mykhailiuk and Boucher, Watanabe could have the best game of his career if tonight’s action is not postponed. He is one of the top dogs out of what is left of the Raptors, and he should see much higher usage than normal. As a young athletic wing, Watanabe is the kind of player who can end up playing ridiculous minutes. That is exactly what we are expecting to see tonight.
Saddiq Bey – ($7,500 DK) Bey may seem expensive here, as he was priced under $5,000 a week or two ago. However, the Pistons have lost most of their team in health protocols, and Bey has been taking an increasingly large role. He has played over 35 minutes in five straight games, playing 43 minutes last time out. He went for 46.5 FPTS last time out, and the Pistons have more injuries for tonight. Bey is going to be asked to do a lot here, so we do not mind paying the premium to get to him.
Guillermo Hernangomez – ($4,900 DK) Hernangomez was a priority for us last time out once we got the news that Jonas Valanciunas would be sidelined. Hernangomez was good where he was priced last time with 24.5 FPTS, but we expect him to be a lot more productive given the opportunity. Hernangomez played 32 minutes last time out, shooting one for eleven from the field. If Hernangomez shoots any better, he should be able to crush value at this price.
We are waiting on a ton of news from Toronto tonight. Firstly, we must see if this game even happens, it could be postponed as the Raptors are missing so many guys. If the game does happen, Toronto will be our top priority for value tonight, and we will be playing multiple Raptors in all our lineups. We also must see who starts here. It is very likely the three guys we mentioned start, but it is a bit of a toss-up after that. Any of the new guys who start could present nice value, but they are not all available on the slate. Good luck with this one, and make sure to keep an eye on what news develops.
We are sorry that this post was not useful for you!

Animal Scientist, Dr Funmilayo Ogunleke, on Saturday called on sheep/goat farmers to improve their production to feed the country’s growing population.
Ogunleke, who works at the Federal College of Animal Health and Production Technology, Ibadan, made the call at a training workshop on sheep and goat farming as a means of wealth creation.
The scientist said that increase in production of animals would boost export.
The training was organised by the Sheep and Goat Farmers Association of Nigeria (SHEGOFAN) in collaboration with an Ibadan-based radio station, King FM 103.9.
Ogunleke said that animal production was of high economic importance, noting that sheep and goats provided skin, hair and manure as well as meat, milk and other products capable of tackling malnutrition.
She advised farmers to increase their production and see their produce as essential to the wellbeing of the citizens and the development of the country.
“Take your farming as a business; not as a charity organisation; always take record of your production, sales and every transaction that takes place in your farm.
“Always feed your animals well; when they are well fed, there will be less diseases and mortality, while quality production and pasture establishment will be guaranteed,” she said.
Mrs Grace Fanawopo, a representative of the Bank of Agriculture, said at the event that the bank had been supporting small ruminant farmers because of their importance in the South-West and the entire Nigeria.
Fanawopo assured the farmers that her bank would continue to give support.
“You don’t have any problem when it comes to loan; we are there for you; just come, open an account with us; after three months, we will come and inspect what you are doing, and after, that we will give you loan.
“Our loan interest is low; it can be given to you within one or two weeks, once you pass the inspection; so, be serious with your business; that is the most important thing,” she advised.
Fanawopo also urged the farmers to make good use of the training to improve production of small ruminants in the country.
Earlier, the SHEGOFAN National President, Alhaji Wahabi Salami, said that the training was aimed at improving household incomes, enhancing food security through improved performance and ensuring a paradigm shift among players in sheep and goat production.
He added that the training was targeted at transforming animal farming from subsistence level to a viable and profitable commercial enterprise. | <urn:uuid:13e8cdd6-6b4a-4968-b5a3-0f79296c3f65> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://farmsquare.ng/food-security-scientist-tasks-farmers-on-improved-animal-production/ | 2023-09-27T12:16:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.970341 | 534 |
Pig nipple drinker is a convenient and hygienic way of watering pigs. It helps reduces disease incidence and transfer which would normally occur when pigs drink contaminated water. It is highly recommended to innovative pig farmers who are committed to hygienic pig production and reduction in the quantity of water used in pig production. Pig nipples are suitable for different sizes of pigs from weaners to matured ones.
Nipple drinking is a modern way to serve water to chickens without having to carry water around in buckets. The nipple drinking system is fully automated and is probably the most widely used chicken drinking system used by modern poultry farmers. There are different variants of nipple drinkers.
How the product works
When a pig wishes to drink, they hold the drinker in its mouth and bite the valve rod to let water flow through the gap of the valve plug and seal ring. When the pig stop biting, the return spring will pull back the valve rod, which will cut and seal the water flow. This product has a good seal performance and slow water flow. They are convenient for pigs to drink.
How to install Pig nipple drinker
The angle of installation is usually horizontal, and the terrain clearance depends on the pig weight. It is usually recommended that the nipple drinker should be installed in the defecation area which is away from the pig’s resting area. The drinker’s component should be changed timely if there is any malfunction.
Benefits of Pig nipple drinker
- Pig nipple drinker makes it easy to serve water to chickens.
- It helps in saving additional space and accommodate more pigs.
- Precise dispensing for all flow rates.
- It eases oral medication and the vaccination of birds.
- The product eases the management of poultry birds within a pen.
- Its long service life and high operational safety due to the use of high-quality materials (low sensitivity to a broad range of chemicals) when cleaned regularly.
- If well-handled, it reduces the incidence of rapid wet litters
- Pig nipple drinker makes watering operation faster.
- It can be used in both battery-cage and deep-litter production system.
- It is durable as it is made with stainless steel.

From News Line, a daily compilation of farm water news distributed to CFWC members and others upon request. To receive News Line, click here.
Coalition response…One element of the equation that was left out of this article is the changing priority in California over environmental water. More than 3 million acre-feet of water that once served farms, homes and businesses have been “re-prioritized” each year for environmental purposes. Unfortunately, unlike urban and agricultural public water agencies, environmental uses are not required to meet any sort of efficiency standards. Taxpayers should be concerned that public funds and water resources used for environmental restoration activities may not return the value to the state that they expect. Absent efficiency standards, even the most rudimentary ones, a tremendous amount of water and money can be wasted with no accountability.
As the State Water Resources Control Board considers new flow standards on the Tuolumne River, farmers in the Turlock and Modesto Irrigation districts, and others, stand to lose almost one-third of the surface water that they currently depend on to irrigate their crops. Any benefits that water will have for the environment are undetermined. Environmental water use efficiency standards are long overdue. | <urn:uuid:29cb0194-e1c6-40e4-89ce-46d1a6760d59> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://farmwater.org/farm-water-news/environmental-allocations-need-water-use-efficiency-standards/ | 2023-09-27T12:08:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.941881 | 246 |

The world has expressed so much through their ideas and love the amount of love for entrepreneurship by showing off the fantastic views that develop in their minds. There is no age to be settled in the field of business. The more you have to offer through your ideas, the more you tend to achieve.
People who achieve positions in life don’t get rich, or most of the time, they don’t have a fortune of the wealthy family behind their work, but all they have is hard work the skill of selling their ideas. They know whatever they think or will make an impact, and that’s what makes it more enhancing in life when their goals are all they want to achieve instead of wasting their time.

Some people tend to believe being an entrepreneur came through their own beliefs, and I support that it is not something that you gain through your family. It is an art of developing the skill of consisting a proposition that can help you change your life in seconds, and you won’t even realize it.
if you are the one who is inspired by the ideas but afraid of taking the initiative, then little fellow, you got to get out of your skin you got to improve and make things work the more you get afraid of the facts, the more you will be driven away from the goals you have set for yourself

This gluten-free gravy is quick and easy to make. All you need to make gluten-free gravy in under 10 minutes is a flavorful broth and cornstarch. Let’s get started!
Gluten-Free Gravy Ingredients
1. Low-Sodium Broth (chicken or beef)
As broth is the source of flavor in your gravy, it’s important to start with one that tastes delicious. Now is the time to add more seasoning if your broth is bland or other wise lacking.
Be sure to choose a low sodium broth as many store bought broths are loaded with extra salt and could result in a gravy that is too salty.
If I have some, I add drippings to the broth to flavor it, but this is not required.
This gluten-free gravy will be thickened with cornstarch rather than flour because cornstarch is gluten-free. You’ll need 1 tablespoon of cornstarch per cup of broth.
How to Make Gluten-Free Gravy
This recipe will make 2 cups of gluten-free chicken or beef gravy in less than 10 minutes!
1. Prepare the slurry
Pour 1/4 cup of cold broth in a small jar and add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. It is important that the broth is cold, not warm or room temperature.
Immediately screw the lid tightly on the jar and shake it vigorously until all the cornstarch is dissolved. Do not attempt to stir or whisk your slurry, it doesn’t work and will turn out clumpy!
Tip for a thicker gravy: If I want my gravy to have a thicker consistency, such as when making homemade chicken pot pie, I use 3 tablespoons of cornstarch rather than 2.
2. Simmer the broth & slowly add the slurry
Bring 1 3/4 cups of broth to a simmer on the stovetop.
Once you have a lively simmer, very slowly pour the slurry into the broth while whisking rapidly and constantly.
As you add the slurry, the broth will thicken quickly. Continue whisking and stop adding slurry when you’ve achieved the desired thickness. I use all of my slurry.
And that’s it. Your 10 minute gluten-free gravy is done!
FAQ: Gluten-Free Gravy
What is a slurry for making gravy?
A slurry is a combination of liquid and solid that leaves the solids suspended in the liquid. It’s different from dissolving a solid (such as salt) in a liquid (such as water). In the case of making gluten-free gravy, the solid is the cornstarch and the liquid is broth or water.
Can I use water to make a slurry rather than broth?
Yes you can use cold water to make a slurry. I just prefer to use broth so as not to water down my broth. That said, I’ve made a slurry with cold water and didn’t notice any flavor issues with the gravy.

Federal whistleblowers have a little more guidance and direction now from the inspector general community to report the waste, fraud and abuse they see at their agencies.
The Council of Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE) this week launched a new feature on Oversight.gov, the publicly searchable website of all reports and updates from agency inspectors general.
The new page, which CIGIE launched on National Whistleblower Appreciation Day, includes resources for whistleblowers about their rights, as well as a detailed walk-through of the process for reporting waste, fraud and abuse at individual agencies. It also directs whistleblowers to the appropriate inspector general hotline — or the Office of Special Counsel’s disclosure unit and Government Accountability Office’s FraudNet portal.
“What we tried to do over the past year or so was think about how we could deliver more information to insiders, to whistleblowers, to come forward [and] report to the IG community on waste, fraud, abuse and misconduct, so that we can help make government more effective and efficient and root out wrongdoing,” Michael Horowitz, Justice Department inspector general and CIGIE chairman, told a group of whistleblowers Tuesday at an annual celebratory lunch on Capitol Hill.
The idea is to get the word out to the federal workforce, Horowitz said, to inform whistleblowers about their rights and encourage them to come forward.
Securing the funding to develop the new whistleblower landing page was a challenge, Horowitz said. Sen. James Lankford, former chairman of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Financial Services and General Government, championed the funding for this project in the fiscal 2019 spending omnibus, Horowitz said.
“The inspectors general and the whistleblowers and the folks who are actually engaged in this ongoing work… are the ones making the difference,” Lankford said. “We’re just trying to facilitate that communication and to make sure that everyone both knows that this is not legal behavior or sees it and has the opportunity to say, ‘where would I go to be able to report this?'”
The current site is a “beta” test, CIGIE hopes to the build out the site further with additional resources, Horowitz said. The next steps, however, are dependent on whether the council can secure new appropriations from Congress.
“We’re looking for you to tell us what else we can do to build that site out,” he said.
Senate bill includes promising protections
The Senate has been particularly active this past year in recognizing and attempting to secure additional protections for federal whistleblowers.
The Senate Whistleblower Protection Caucus has also expanded this year. Three additional senators, including Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), joined the caucus this year, the group’s chairman, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), said.
“It’s great to see so many of my colleagues stepping forward to express their support for whistleblowers,” Grassley said. “The service that they — you all —do for this country is beyond estimation.”
When Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) first got to Washington, he said he was surprised by the prevalence of retaliation against whistleblowers. He recalled the federal employees who worked at the Tomah VA Medical Center in Wisconsin. They highlighted the abusive practices of a doctor at the facility who over-prescribed opioids to veterans and were retaliated against for their disclosures, Johnson said. The facility eventually earned the reputation of “Candyland.”
“Because that whistleblower came forward, people actually got fired,” Johnson said. “People were held accountable. But most important, policymakers, the head of the VA [and] veterans themselves realized there was a problem there that had to be corrected. We’ve taken some real remedial action, and it’s improved.”
The Senate passed a resolution earlier this month commemorating July 30 as National Whistleblower Appreciation Day. The resolution urged agency leaders to inform employees, contractors and members of the public
The day itself is rooted in more than 200 years of history, when 10 sailors and Marines fighting in the Revolutionary War blew the whistle on the Navy commodore in 1778.
The sailors and Marines left their post and presented their findings to the Continental Congress, which reviewed their testimony.
“That was before our constitution was even done, which would mean longer than we’ve been a country, we’ve been trying to hold our government to excellence,” Lankford said. “That’s a pretty good tradition for us as a country, so let’s keep doing that.” | <urn:uuid:65abdcfa-1a73-4c7a-aa9a-6242de5dfda6> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://federalnewsnetwork.com/workforce-rightsgovernance/2019/08/inspector-general-community-launches-new-online-reporting-tool-for-whistleblowers/ | 2023-09-27T12:44:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.95299 | 1,012 |

Blob — the hugging pouf. Looking for ideas for my project I got inspired by a piece, made by Lucy Mcrae called Compression Carpet. The concept of a hugging machine made me look for forms that let a user feel immersed in the furniture. An object that made the most impact on my project was a foldable, portable hairbrush, more specifically the way its elements stick out while open and fold inwards when closed. I wanted to translate this into how the form of seating could work. When not in use it can be raised and look more like a sculpture, but under the weight, it will fold and catch the person using it, with its “tentacles”. For its upholstery, I chose suede in a deep dark red color, which gives me a feeling of intimacy and softness. The overall outcome is a large pouf of furniture that allows you to relax fully and makes you calm by hugging your body when you lay on it. | <urn:uuid:51a759d4-8564-4e8a-924b-1ac8a8e5a34d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://feeelprize.com/furniture/chill-relax/blob/ | 2023-09-27T12:39:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.963562 | 213 |

Light and shadow
The guest house had already been built when the designers started working. At the request of customers, they adjusted the facades, clearing them of unnecessary decorative details. The project also makes one doubt that behind the high lancet windows there is a village near Moscow, and not a French countryside.
The biggest advantage of the house is, of course, the large volume and height of the ceilings, a large number and a beautiful view from the window to the garden, it all captures, so we removed the accents from the windows and doors. As the sun moves, a play with light and shadows erupts, the window layouts suggest intricate shadows on the wall. We deliberately left these walls without art,” designers of the project say.

Bezos Annual Letter
I just sent this note out to our CEO list. I was going to write a different post today about The Founder Wellness Pact: How Accelerators are Addressing Depression Among Founders but I’m going to save it for next week. After sending this note out, I decided it was the clearest thing I could add to your world today going into the weekend.
Jeff Bezos’ annual letter is now up there with Warren Buffett’s annual letter as must reads for me. However, it is a lot shorter (5 minutes vs. 20 minutes).
You’ve probably seen lots of techy news, tweets, and medium posts about this. Don’t read them. Just read the letter. It won’t take long, and if you think about it while you are reading it, it will mean something that sticks.
Ask yourself several questions when you are finished:
1. Do you have a customer-obsessed culture?
2. Do you make decisions with 70% of the information?
3. Do you have a “disagree but commit” culture (especially when it’s you that is disagreeing)? | <urn:uuid:a1c4e16c-8835-4e63-bff0-20172d4cad4e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://feld.com/archives/2017/04/bezos-annual-letter/ | 2023-09-27T10:49:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.963054 | 246 |
Trigger Warning: Violence, Police Brutality
Iman, 18 years old, proudly went from department to department with a tambourine urging students to join the anti-CAA march in large numbers. But her thoughts changed drastically by the evening. Today, she is on bed rest with tears and blood flowing from her eyes. The nurse gives her sleeping pills but to no avail, as she would constantly shouts in her sleep, “I can hear the boots“, “Somebody is pulling me.” When she gains consciousness she recalls the harrowing experience.
On 10th February 2020, students at Jamia Millia Islamia gave a call for protest march to the Parliament. This was their fourth call against the Citizenship Amendment Act or CAA, the NRC and the NPR. All the previous marches were failed attempts which ultimately led to state sponsored police brutality. The march on 10th February met the same end but many of the stories were lost in the dilemma of ‘to conceal’ or ‘not to conceal’. The protest had a large number of women on the front which included both the students and locals of Jamia Nagar. This group was stopped at the Holy Family Hospital. When a woman leads a march, she goes with her courage along with her vulnerability to violence. This time it was not the courage that was absolved but the physical and emotional vulnerability that was bruised.
“Every other time the police used the lathi and tear gas out in the open, but this time they changed their strategy so that they won’t get in the mainstream media. They didn’t swing their lathis in the air to hit us but used it cleverly to hit us on our toes,” says Iman.
“Every other time the police used the lathi and tear gas out in the open, but this time they changed their strategy so that they won’t get in the mainstream media. They didn’t swing their lathis in the air to hit us but used it cleverly to hit us on our toes,” says Iman. She with her group of women tried to cross the barricade but a group of male constables held her tight to suffocate her, touching inappropriately while the female constables kept pinching all over her body.
The male police officers kicked in her stomach. She kept vomiting while asking them to stop but the female cops told her, “Tum gumraah ho gaee ho, marne aayee ho to mar jao” (You have gone astray. You have come to die so be dead). Today, she is completely traumatised. Her mother stands besides her trying to keep a check on her statements to the media and trying to balance the fine line between modesty and shame. “This is what the police wanted, they wanted to hit them in a way that they are ashamed to talk about it,” she said. Today Iman keeps shifting from one hospital to another without any relief. But the hopes of these women are still alive and they are ready to go for a counter strategy for the CAA protests.
Chanda Yada, student at Jamia Millia Islamia said, “While I tried to cross the barricade, the police tried to suffocate me and lift my clothes up.” Chanda was hit in the stomach and later detained in a bus. There was not a single woman in the bus. The male police slapped Chanda on her face and asked her for her ID proofs. They took note of her address and threatened her that they would tell her family about her and may be her parents would keep a check on her.
The locals often make a good number in these CAA protests. Women from all age groups come in solidarity with the students; their slogans no less than the students. Aafreen, a local resident of Jamia Nagar sat on the pavement of Maulana Mohammad Ali Jauhar Marg. In a breathless voice, she showed me her hands with scratches all over. She said, “See, the female constable has pinched me all over. What crime did I commit?” Fauzia, a hijabi woman lost her hijab in the interface with the police. She said, “Our Hijabs were deliberately pulled off, many of us have lost our hijabs and shoes in the stampede.” Many women got their hijabs and hair pulled while other were heckled by their clothes. The clothes are the Hijabs of some.

The clothes are the Hijabs of some.
Rafia Fatima, a mother of three children is very passionate about the anti CAA protests. She has actively participated in all the protests. To give her time to the anti CAA movement, she has hired a domestic worker at home for her kids. Rafia observes the traditional purdah, her veil pulled tightly over her face. However, that day, her veil was ripped off her face. Rafia recalls while lying in the emergency ward of the hospital, “The police tried to strangle me, they held me upside down, kicked me in the stomach and hit me on my knees and between the legs.” She adds “One of the policemen got over my chest with his boots on.” The hospital reports later revealed that Rafia has a hairline fracture in the ribs.
Zainab F. while walking towards Sukhdev Vihar was stalked by two young men in the presence of heavy police who kept hurling abuses at her and shouting, “**** you live in India, eat from this place and you seek freedom from this place.” She said, “If they want to attack us on our morality and want us to sit at home out of shame, then that is not going to happen, we will come back, with more vigour.” Her weak voice trembles as she says, “The pain might vanish but my body is never going to forget its encounters...” and she breaks down.
One of the protesters who received several injuries said, “My body aches, my doctors advised crepe bandage but I cannot put them at home”. She told that she cannot even openly cry or tell where it hurts her as her family is very reluctant to send her to protests.
‘Kashmir se bhi bura haal karenge‘ (We will make it worse than Kashmir) threatened one of the police men to the protesters. The threat of of making Jamia Nagar, a Muslim ghetto worse than Kashmir is in itself a loaded term, a metaphor. The threat was not given in the heat of the moment but comes out of years of hateful learning. The irony of our system is we may move on to a common civil code while a common criminal code will hang between the lines of Tagore,
“Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.”
55 years old Mrs Mojibi, mother of Rafia Fatima said, “My daughter has been hit in her ‘private parts’. If they are not ashamed to do it then why should we be ashamed to talk about it.” But not every mother and daughter share the same equation as Rafia and her mother. Many parents want their children to passively participate in the CAA protests but don’t want active confrontations. One of the protesters (on condition of anonymity) who received several injuries said, “My body aches, my doctors advised crepe bandage but I cannot put them at home.” She said that she cannot even openly cry or tell where it hurts her as her family is very reluctant to send her to protests. Perhaps if they come to know, her mobility will get restricted.
The body has its pain, the mind has its own interface but if we talk specifically into the dynamics through the lens of gender, we should realise that the repercussions are far greater. A mother already declared taking the agency of choice on behalf of her daughter, “I would prefer a distant mode of education for her rather than regular classes if she continues with all this.” The government may keep churning lucrative schemes for girls which might take up spaces on humble autos and the common man’s bus but have they really made a safe space for common woman’s daughter is the real question.
Shahjahan, 60 years old local comes to all the CAA protests. When asked what derives her to come to these protests she said, “I come for these children, they are fighting for our rights, If they want to kill us then I am ready to die.”

A round table discussion with drinks and sandwiches
Duration 90 mins
How do we create platforms for reflecting, exchanging, and acquiring knowledge? Each initiative for discussion requires contextualization, preparation, and engagement. Departing from the tradition of the format Dansbaren, Ingrid Cogne and Marika Hedemyr will reactivate the publication Dansbaren — The Mob without Flash in order to pursue the journey of uniting theory and practice in dance and choreography. Learning from years of experiences, can we today:
- go beyond quick circulation and vanishing activities to engage in deep action?
- transform energetic impulsion into long-term contribution?
For 15 years, the Gothenburg artist-run platform Dansbyrån initiated, in local and international contexts, a series of public talks and discussions called Dansbaren. Now a book/tool, Dansbaren — The Mob without Flash is a printed object consisting of two parts: a book dedicated to critical thinking in the field of dance and choreography and a tablecloth of topics. This publication re-activates Dansbaren’s central topics: dialogue formats, power relations, aesthetics, self-organization, sharing knowledge, appropriating language, artistic practice, history making and feedback methods.
Dansbaren — The Mob without Flash was published by Dansbyrån (SE) in 2016. It contains texts by Ingrid Cogne, Marika Hedemyr, Per Herngren, Paula de Hollanda, David Karlsson, Rani Nair, Paula Tuovinen, Lis Hellström Sveningson; as well as contributions by: Kate Elswit, Johanna Gustavsson, Lena Hammergren, Myriam Mazzoni, Cecilia Malmström Olsson, Bodil Persson, and Moa Matilda Sahlin.
Swedish artist Marika Hedemyr works across choreography and public art, exploring the emotional and political relations between people and places. Her work is known for twisting reality into precise and humorous everyday situations with strong physicality. Her current focus is to create performative art in public spaces and thereby raising issues on access, democracy and the use of urban city centres.
Since the 90s Hedemyr has consistently created works ranging from small intimate performances to large-scale productions, in art- and theatre venues and public spaces. Her works have been presented at Dansens Hus Stockholm, Röda Sten Konsthall, The Swedish Dance Biennale, GIBCA – Gothenburg International Biennale for Contemporary Art, Bibliotheca Alexandrina Egypt, Rawabet Theatre Kairo, Yokohama Dance Collection Japan, and numerous public places in Sweden and abroad. From 2000 to 2014 she was artistic director and choreographer of the dance theatre company Crowd Company. She is also co-founder of Dansbyrån, a Swedish artist-run platform for theory, practice and choreographic development.
Currently Hedemyr develops The Event Series – a long-term public art project exploring Gothenburg’s Event District, and Next To You – a site specific mixed reality-walk about co-existence in a shared public space, in co-production with Gothenburg Dance and Theatre Festival and RISE Interactive.
She has an MA in dance from Laban Centre London (1999), and an MFA in Contemporary Performative Art (2014) with focus on Works for Public Space from Gothenburg University – The Faculty of Fine, Applied and Performing Arts. Since 2017 Hedemyr is enrolled for a PhD in Interaction Design at the School of Arts and Culture (K3) at Malmö University, Sweden.
Ingrid Cogne is an artist, facilitator, and researcher working across choreography, visual arts and academia. Focusing on the dramaturgy of existing or created situations, Cogne sees choreography as a way to create movement and suspension, positioning, and displacement in relation to economy and knowledge.
Since January 2019, Ingrid Cogne is a senior researcher at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, working on The dramaturgy of Conversation (V709-G26), funded by the FWF Elise Richter Peek programme.
Priorly, from 2015-2018, she Cogne was a post-doc researcher at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, where she initiated and developed Six Formats —a project that questioned formats of presentation, communication, and circulation of knowledge in Arts-based research. In 2017-2018, Cogne conceptualized and created the Object of Communication (2018).
In 2014, Cogne was Artistic Director of Dansbyrån (SE). In 2015-2016, she was researcher for KiR—a project that focused on the re-activation of Dansbyrån’s archive into the circulation of its knowledge in Time.
Until 2015 Cogne was a junior researcher in the frame of PhD in Practice (Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, AT) and at the Doctoral School of Human and Social Sciences – CEAC (University of Lille, FR). In her PhD research “Displacement(s) as Method(s),” she questioned the notions of “displacement” on the physical, political, and perceptive levels and of “method” in between theory and practice, process and product, with the intention to (re-)create “time”. Cogne used the notions “situation”, “presence”, and “performativity” as filters to articulate her research between body, spoken, and written languages in a matrix composed of five methods, three practices, and the art piece WORK (2015). | <urn:uuid:5159565c-2a62-42e8-b004-439f5813e120> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://festenfest.info/festenfest2020/dansbaren-rush-hour-knowledge/ | 2023-09-27T10:50:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.907258 | 1,242 |
After more than a decade in the classical music industry as an agent for artists like Fazil Say and Patricia Kopatchinskaja, of working as a project manager and concert promoter for Konzertdirektion Dr. Rudolf Goette, of experiencing hundreds of concerts at Elbphilharmonie and numerous other classical halls in Germany and, indeed, the rest of Europe, the time has come to change my focus. I'm eternally grateful for all the wonderful concerts, those magic moments of transcendence, of true artistry, the beautiful encounters with artists, managers and those backstage who are all too often forgotten.
fast forward classical is aiming to contribute to keeping classical music alive and relevant by focussing on new ways of presenting classical repertoire, on diversity and sustainability, on alternative concert formats and contemporary repertoire. In classical venues as well as clubs and alternative spaces. I'm inviting everyone to join me on this journey. | <urn:uuid:c0c1065f-2d96-41a3-b557-1a55e7f46109> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://ffwd-classical.de/en/journal/justus-wille/ | 2023-09-27T11:35:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.923906 | 190 |
The Fascinating World of Putty: Thinking Putty, Fidget Putty, and More
The realm of fidget toys is vast and varied, but among the many options available, putty-based toys, including thinking putty and fidget putty, have gained considerable attention for their unique properties and benefits. Not just a toy, putty has evolved into a multi-functional tool with a plethora of uses, ranging from stress relief to cognitive development.
What is Thinking Putty?
Thinking putty is a silicone-based substance known for its highly elastic, moldable, and stress-relieving properties. It is typically colorful, comes in various textures, and has unique features such as heat sensitivity, magnetism, or glow-in-the-dark effects.
The versatile nature of thinking putty makes it an ideal tool for both play and therapeutic purposes. It provides a satisfying sensory experience and serves as an effective tool for hand strengthening, making it a popular choice among occupational therapists.
Is Putty a Fidget Toy?
Absolutely! One of the key features of putty that qualifies it as a fidget toy is its ability to provide a sensory outlet for restless energy. The act of kneading, stretching, rolling, or even just holding putty can help reduce anxiety, improve concentration, and support emotional regulation.
Benefits of Using Thinking Putty
The benefits of using thinking putty are multifaceted. It provides a sensory and tactile experience that can help improve fine motor skills. As a fidget toy, it can aid concentration, particularly for those diagnosed with ADHD. Plus, the creative possibilities with thinking putty are endless, promoting imagination and cognitive flexibility.
Sinking Putty and Other Varieties
Thinking putty is not a one-size-fits-all proposition. There are many different types, including sinking putty, a variant that is denser than water, allowing it to sink rather than float. This can add another layer of sensory and scientific exploration to the putty experience.
Affordable Thinking Putty
There are plenty of options available for those looking to buy cheap thinking putty. From online retailers like Amazon and eBay to local toy stores, you’re sure to find an affordable variety that suits your needs and budget.
Using Fidget Putty for Stress Relief
Fidget putty provides an outlet for restless energy and serves as a stress-relieving tool. Manipulating the putty engages the hands, which can have a calming effect and help focus attention.
Are Putty Fidget Toys Beneficial for People with ADHD or Anxiety?
Research suggests that fidget toys like putty can benefit individuals with ADHD, autism, and anxiety by providing a sensory experience that enhances focus, reduces stress, and promotes relaxation.
Care and Precautions for Your Thinking Putty
Caring for your thinking putty is relatively simple. Store it in a cool, dry place and always in its container when not in use to prevent it from drying out or collecting dirt. It’s also worth noting that while thinking putty is generally safe for children, it should be used under adult supervision to prevent ingestion or sticking to clothes and furniture.
Creative Ways to Use Thinking Putty
From creating artistic sculptures to performing science experiments, the uses for thinking putty are endless. It can be stretched, squeezed, bounced, and even torn, providing endless fun and learning opportunities.
A Universe of Putty
Thinking putty, fidget putty, sinking putty – each type has its unique charm and uses. They serve not just as a means of entertainment but also as cognitive and physical development tools. Not to mention, they are incredibly satisfying to play with!
Whether it’s for the purpose of minor stress relief or simply a desire to have a fun, hands-on experience, putty-based fidget toys have something to offer for everyone – children, adults, and seniors alike.
And while there’s a wide range of putty products on the market with various price tags, cheap thinking putty options are also readily available. This ensures that everyone can get their hands on this intriguing, flexible, moldable, and ever-transforming wonder.
Thinking putty and its other putty relatives indeed illustrate how something so simple can offer so many benefits and hours of enjoyment. Whether you prefer a traditional thinking putty, dense sinking putty, or trendy fidget putty, the world of putty is a world worth exploring. So, why wait? Dive into the amazing universe of putty today!
How Is Fidget Putty Used for Stress Relief?
Fidget putty, much like thinking putty, serves as a simple yet effective tool for stress relief. Its tactile nature allows for continuous, mindless manipulation, which can help calm the mind and relieve stress. By giving the hands something to work on, fidget putty can create a distraction from stress triggers, allowing for a sense of calm and focus.
The Versatile Nature of Putty Fidget Toys
Putty fidget toys are not just for stress relief. They’re versatile and can cater to different needs:
- Therapy Tool: Therapists often use putty fidget toys to help patients improve fine motor skills, dexterity, and hand strength.
- Concentration Aid: For individuals who struggle with concentration, especially those with ADHD, putty fidget toys provide a physical activity that can help improve focus.
- Creativity Booster: Thinking putty can be moulded into endless shapes and figures, encouraging creativity and imagination.
Where Can I Buy Cheap Thinking Putty?
Looking for affordable options? Cheap thinking putty can be found in a variety of places:
- Online Marketplaces: Websites such as Amazon and eBay have a wide selection of putty products at different price points.
- Toy Stores: Traditional brick-and-mortar toy stores often carry thinking putty, and you may find discounts or sales.
- Craft Stores: Some craft stores sell thinking putty in the kids’ crafts section.
Remember, when buying cheap thinking putty, ensure that the product is safe and non-toxic. Always buy from reputable retailers and check the product’s reviews if possible.
The Allure of Sinking Putty
Sinking putty adds another layer of fascination to the putty universe. Its unique density allows it to sink differently than regular putty, providing a different sensory experience. It’s perfect for those who want a little variety in their putty escapades.
Whether it’s thinking putty for a creative twist, fidget putty for stress relief, or sinking putty for a unique tactile experience, the world of putty fidget toys has something to offer everyone. | <urn:uuid:898fcedd-8201-4dc0-a5b1-a5a52b0a803a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://fidget-tech.com/thinking-putty/ | 2023-09-27T11:39:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.922374 | 1,400 |

Choosing the right credit card requires careful consideration. Consider the following factors: Evaluate your spending habits to find a card with suitable rewards or cashback programs. Assess your credit score to determine eligibility for different cards. Compare annual fees, interest rates, and penalty fees to find a card that aligns with your financial goals. Consider additional perks like travel insurance or purchase protection. Read the terms and conditions carefully, ensuring you understand the card’s benefits, limitations, and potential hidden fees. Finally, research customer reviews and ratings to gauge overall satisfaction and customer service quality.
Assess Your Spending Habits
Assessing your spending habits is an important step in choosing the right credit card.
Consider the following aspects:
Categories of Spending: Identify your primary spending categories, such as groceries, dining out, travel, or gas. Look for credit cards that offer higher rewards or cashback rates for these specific categories.
General Spending: Evaluate your overall spending patterns. If you make a wide variety of purchases, a credit card with a flat-rate cashback or rewards program may be more suitable.
Frequency of Use: Determine how often you plan to use the credit card. If you intend to use it for most of your purchases, a card with a generous rewards program or bonus offers may be beneficial.
Budgeting: Consider your budgeting preferences. If you prefer to have a set credit limit and avoid overspending, a credit card with a lower limit or spending control features might be preferable.
By understanding your spending habits, you can narrow down credit card options that align with your specific needs, maximizing the rewards or benefits you can enjoy based on your typical expenses.
Evaluate Your Credit Score
Evaluating your credit score is a crucial step in choosing the right credit card.
Here’s what to consider:
Know Your Credit Score: Obtain your credit score from credit bureaus or reputable online platforms. Understanding your creditworthiness helps determine the type of credit cards you’re eligible for.
Credit Card Requirements: Research credit cards that align with your credit score range. Some cards are tailored for individuals with excellent credit, while others cater to those with fair or limited credit history.
Impact on Interest Rates: Your credit score affects the interest rates you’ll be offered. Higher scores often qualify for lower interest rates, potentially saving you money in the long run.
Building Credit: If you have a limited credit history or a low score, consider credit cards designed to help build or rebuild credit. These cards may have lower credit limits and fewer rewards but can be a stepping stone toward better credit.
Understanding your credit score enables you to select credit cards that match your creditworthiness, increasing your chances of approval and potentially accessing better terms and benefits.
Compare Fees and Interest Rates
When choosing a credit card, comparing fees and interest rates is crucial.
Here’s what to consider:
Annual Fees: Some credit cards charge an annual fee for card membership. Consider whether the benefits and rewards offered outweigh the cost of the fee. If you don’t plan to use the card extensively or the benefits don’t justify the fee, look for cards without an annual fee.
Interest Rates: Compare the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) of different credit cards. Lower APRs can save you money on interest charges if you carry a balance. However, if you pay your balance in full each month, the interest rate may be less of a concern.
Penalty Fees: Familiarize yourself with the penalty fees charged by the credit card issuer. These fees may include late payment fees, over-limit fees, or cash advance fees. Be aware of the potential charges and consider cards with lower penalty fees or more lenient terms.
Foreign Transaction Fees: If you frequently travel abroad or make purchases in foreign currencies, consider cards with low or no foreign transaction fees. Such fees can add up quickly and impact your overall costs.
Balance Transfer Fees: If you’re considering transferring balances from other credit cards, check the balance transfer fees associated with the new card. Balance transfer fees are usually a percentage of the amount transferred, so compare the fees to the potential interest savings to make an informed decision.
By comparing the fees and interest rates of different credit cards, you can choose a card that aligns with your financial goals and minimizes unnecessary costs.
Consider Rewards and Cashback Programs
Considering rewards and cashback programs is important when choosing a credit card.
Here are key points to keep in mind:
Types of Rewards: Evaluate the types of rewards offered by credit cards, such as cashback, travel rewards, points, or miles. Choose rewards that align with your preferences and lifestyle.
Rewards Categories: Some credit cards offer higher rewards or cashback rates for specific categories like groceries, dining, or gas. If you spend heavily in certain areas, look for cards that provide enhanced rewards for those categories.
Redemption Options: Understand how you can redeem the earned rewards. Some cards offer flexible redemption options, allowing you to convert rewards into cash, statement credits, travel bookings, or merchandise. Choose a card that offers redemption options that suit your needs.
Introductory Offers: Check for any introductory bonuses or sign-up offers. These can include bonus points, cashback, or airline miles that you can earn by meeting certain spending requirements within a specified period. Introductory offers can provide a boost to your rewards earnings.
Rewards Structure: Evaluate the simplicity or complexity of the rewards structure. Some cards offer a flat rate of cashback or rewards on all purchases, while others have tiered structures or rotating categories. Consider your preference for simplicity or willingness to manage category-specific spending.
By considering rewards and cashback programs, you can select a credit card that allows you to earn valuable benefits and maximize your rewards based on your spending patterns and preferences.
Read and Understand the Terms and Conditions
Reading and understanding the terms and conditions of a credit card is crucial before making a decision.
Here’s what to focus on:
Interest Rates and Fees: Pay attention to the APR for purchases, balance transfers, and cash advances. Understand the different types of fees, including annual fees, late payment fees, balance transfer fees, and foreign transaction fees.
Grace Period: Determine if the card offers a grace period for purchases, during which no interest is charged if the balance is paid in full by the due date. Know the length of the grace period and any conditions that may affect its applicability.
Credit Limit: Review the credit limit assigned to the card. Understanding your credit limit can help you manage your spending and avoid potential over-limit fees.
Penalty Terms: Familiarize yourself with the penalties for late payments, exceeding the credit limit, or returned payments. Understand the consequences and potential impact on your credit score.
Rewards Program Details: If the card offers rewards or cashback programs, carefully read the terms related to earning, redeeming, and expiration of rewards. Note any limitations or restrictions on eligible purchases or redemption options.
Reading and understanding the terms and conditions ensures that you are fully aware of the card’s terms, fees, and potential limitations. It allows you to make an informed decision and avoid surprises or misunderstandings in the future. | <urn:uuid:86afe11d-c7b5-418f-84aa-d054d66fb630> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://financexod.com/how-to-choose-the-right-credit-card/ | 2023-09-27T13:08:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.911436 | 1,505 |

Understanding Mods for Vaping
Mods for vaping have come a long way since their inception. Originally designed as a way to enhance the vaping experience, mods have evolved into a versatile and customizable tool for users to personalize their vaping experience. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced vaper, mods offer a wide range of features and options that cater to individual preferences and needs.
Power and Performance
One of the key benefits of mods for vaping is the increased power and performance they provide. Unlike traditional e-cigarettes, mods allow users to adjust the wattage and voltage levels, resulting in a more powerful and satisfying vaping experience. This ability to customize the power output allows vapers to achieve the desired throat hit and flavor intensity.
Additionally, mods can support sub-ohm vaping, which involves using coils with a resistance of less than one ohm. This allows for the production of larger clouds of vapor and a more intense flavor profile. Sub-ohm vaping has gained popularity among vaping enthusiasts who enjoy the cloud-chasing aspect of the hobby.
Another significant advancement in mods is the introduction of temperature control technology. This feature allows users to set the maximum temperature at which their coil heats up, preventing dry hits and burnt tastes. Temperature control not only enhances the overall vaping experience but also prolongs the lifespan of coils and prevents wastage of e-liquid.
Customization and Aesthetics
Mods for vaping offer a wide range of customization options, allowing users to create a device that reflects their personal style and preferences. From different finishes and colors to unique and eye-catching designs, mods have become a fashion statement for many vapers. Some mods even offer interchangeable panels and sleeves, enabling users to switch up the look of their device whenever they desire.
Furthermore, mods allow for the use of various atomizers and tanks, giving users the freedom to experiment with different coil configurations, airflow options, and mouthpiece styles. This level of customization ensures that every vaper can find the perfect setup to suit their vaping style.
Modern mods for vaping prioritize user safety by incorporating various safety features. Short circuit protection, over-discharge protection, and overheat protection are just a few examples of the safety measures that mods offer. These features give users peace of mind and reduce the risk of accidents or malfunctions while vaping.
Battery Life and Charging
An important consideration when choosing a mod is battery life. Mods typically use rechargeable batteries, and the capacity of these batteries can vary depending on the device. High-capacity batteries ensure longer vaping sessions before recharging is required. Additionally, mods often come with various charging options, such as USB charging or dedicated battery chargers, making it convenient for users to keep their devices powered up.
The Future of Mods for Vaping
The evolution of mods for vaping shows no signs of slowing down. As the vaping industry continues to grow and innovate, manufacturers are constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible with mods. With the rise of pod systems and advanced coil technologies, mods are becoming more accessible and user-friendly than ever before.
The future of mods for vaping also lies in the integration of smart features and connectivity. Some mods already offer Bluetooth connectivity and smartphone apps that allow users to monitor and control their device settings remotely. This integration of technology opens up a world of possibilities for customization and convenience.
Mods for vaping have revolutionized the vaping experience, offering users unparalleled customization, power, and safety features. Whether you are new to vaping or a seasoned enthusiast, investing in a reliable and feature-rich mod can enhance your overall enjoyment. With the continuous advancements in technology and the vaping industry, the future looks bright for mods, promising even greater convenience and innovation for vapers around the world.

John Rogers won re-election to the Bunnell City Commission Tuesday, taking the most votes in a four-way race, and Bonita Robinson won the seat formerly held by Jenny Crain-Brady. Rogers and Robinson defeated Daisy Henry, the former commissioner trying to make a come-back, and Randall Morris, who had been a no-show in most ways through the election period.
Rogers got 131 votes, or 27.23 percent, Robinson got 123 votes (25.57 percent), Morris got 117 votes (24.32 percent) and Henry got 110 votes (22.86 percent).
Incumbent Crain-Brady was not among the candidates, though she’d planned to run. She was disqualified when she was late with a required state fee for qualifying.
Seven referendum questions were also put before voters, all of them proposals to change the city charter following a charter review committee’s work that produced the seven recommendations. All seven passed with 80 to 90 percent of the vote. (See below.)
The questions, some of them explicitly patronizing of city commissioners, the mayor and city employees, asked whether candidates for office should be city residents and registered voters for at least a year before qualifying; whether commissioners and the mayor must resign their seat if seeking another public office; whether the city manager should live within a 40-mile radius of Bunnell; whether the notice for emergency meetings be extended to three days, from 24 hours; and whether the Florida Ethics Code should govern commission conduct.
The election was relatively low key, though one undercurrent was unmistakable: it was also a referendum on the future of City Manager Larry Williams. A three-vote bloc controlled his fate, with Commissioners Rogers, Elbert Tucker and Bill Baxley favoring his tenure, and Mayor Catherine Robinson and Crain-Brady opposing it. The latter two would have kept former manager Armando Martinez.
Rogers’s win means that the voting bloc he forms with Tucker and Baxley is intact, as is the status quo that prevailed before the election–and Williams’s job security: the manager can breathe a sigh of relief tonight. Robinson’s election adds a Robinson to the panel, but does not change the political equation, even if the junior Robinson aligns with the mayor. (The two are not related, except perhaps politically.)
The bribing for votes was not hidden this time: Pastor Sims Jones, who has a church in Bunnell but lives in Palm Coast, had set up a burgers-and-hot-dogs stand “for all registered voters in Bunnell” on an empty lot owned by Charles Cowart about two blocks south of the old city hall, at Pine and Booe Streets. Jones said Supervisor of Elections Kimberle Weeks cleared the giveaway as long as it did not endorse a particular candidate.
“So, my brother, can I bribe you? Hamburger? Hot dog?” Jones said with a big smile to a passing reporter. The bribing of course was strictly non-partisan: it was an attempt by Jones and others—among them Thea Mathen, the Bunnell business owner, and the Barrs, father and son—to encourage Bunnell voters to actually vote for a change.
“This is all about getting people to vote,” Jones said. “Like the sign says over there, ‘be heard, vote.’” The city counts just under 3,000 residents, but barely half are registered, and of those, just 15 percent vote. Last year there were just 238 ballots cast in a three-way race that re-elected Elbert Tucker and elected Bill Baxley in place of Daisy Henry. The previous year, 265 ballots were cast.
Henry had spent quite a bit of time with Jones at the giveaway stand, though other candidates—John Rogers and Bonita Robinson—also stopped by for shorter periods. Henry later in the afternoon was in her red truck, within sight of the polling place, reading the Bible as she often does. She’s a preacher. She was reading Ezekiel (the chapter on false prophets, “jackals among ruins”). Did she feel good about her chances?
“Whatever the lord’s will is,” she said. “I feel pretty good,” adding: “It’s not over ‘till the fat lady sings.”
There was a colder feel to this Election Day in Bunnell, and not just because the temperature, which began the day in the mid-60s, insisted on dropping a degree every hour. In previous elections, the candidates tended to all line their booths or stand almost in a line together on the south side of the fountain, chatting each other up more than often than chatting up voters, since voters were always few and far between. Today, each candidate had clustered his or her operation as if on opposite ends of the fountain, with Bonita Robinson, John Rogers and Henry at one point looking like three different cardinal points (though Robinson and Henry had clustered together, too).
There was a fourth candidate in the race, Randall Morris, and other candidates reported seeing him walk around, but he’d made himself scarce: he was a no-show at the only candidate forum of the election last month, and he put up no election signs.
Robinson, a newcomer to Bunnell’s electoral politics but certainly not a newcomer to Bunnell politics—she worked for a half dozen years as a city employee until last fall, when she took a job with the school district—was with a group of supporters almost opposite city hall, all in bright yellow-orange shirts with the words “GROWTH” and “EQUALITY” emblazoned on the back, above and below a flying eagle.
James Hall, one of Robinson’s supporters, was at a picnic table reading a book slightly more thematically violent than Ezekiel: “Serial Murderers and Their Victims.” (Hall is a criminal justice student at Florida Tech in Melbourne.) “I know her very well,” he said of Robinson. “I know her values, I know her concerns, I know her goals, I know her ideals, and they’re everything that the city of Bunnell needs.”

There is a better chance that India will get a slot in PMGC 2023 this year, as there are three special invites available in PMGC 2023, and in the ongoing PMWI 2023 tournament, English casters are also discussing the PMGC slot for India, so there is a good chance for teams to win BGIS Season 2 and get a PMGC invite.
BGIS 2021 was won by Team Skylight Gaming, followed by Team TSM, Team XO, and Team Tam Godlike, which secured 2nd, 3rd, and 4th positions in the points table. Team Godlike Player Neyoo won the MVP award of the inaugural season.

Meteorology has been a lifelong passion for me and I am eternally grateful to be able to practice my passion. However, my mission as a meteorologist goes far beyond simply doing something I enjoy. Every year, the weather damages property and puts lives in danger. Even in the Finger Lakes, the weather can be and has been deadly. My mission as a meteorologist is to do all I can to prevent such needless loss of life.
For that reason, I do not and will not charge a subscription fee for the information people need to remain safe. Finger Lakes Weather has been organized to meet this mission- for most users, there should be enough information readily and freely available to plan their day around whatever the weather may throw at them.
The only fees associated with Finger Lakes Weather are for businesses and individuals who need regular, detailed, location-specific forecasts. These clients enjoy 24/7 communication with Finger Lakes Weather and timely, personalized updates as a cost-effective way to save their businesses or organizations money, time and resources.
The fees for these services are priced to be affordable to even small businesses and low-budget non-profit organizations, breaking the traditional mold of many other weather consulting companies which focus on getting big money from big business. More information on these services, as well as how to apply for small business or non-profit discounts, can be found here.
The Reasons to Donate
Finger Lakes Weather is a freely accessible website. However, the cost of running a professional weather service is far from free.
Ongoing costs include server space and bandwidth, computer programs, data subscriptions, and technological upgrades.
Furthermore, hours of time is spent weekly keeping Finger Lakes Weather updated, fresh, and professional. As my primary source of income, your donations play an important role in allowing me to make Finger Lakes Weather my career. Monthly donations are especially useful, as they allow me to count on a steady source of income month-to-month.
Donations are non-refundable. Automatic monthly and single, one-time donation options, are available. Finger Lakes Weather is not organized as a non-profit organization, therefore donations are not tax exempt.
Donations can be made securely through PayPal, via credit card, or by mailing a check. If you would like to mail a check to Finger Lakes Weather, please make the check out to Finger Lakes Weather and mail it to PO BOX 326, GROTON, NY 13073.

(6 ounce) wild salmon fillets (~1-inch-thick), skin on
sea salt and black pepper to taste
lemon pepper seasoning
Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add oil to the pan. Salt and season both sides of salmon. Place the salmon, skin-side up in the pan. Turn salmon over and remove the skin with a knife. Set the skin aside. Cook salmon for 5 minutes, or until browned. Add a dash of cognac to sweeten the salmon and rid of slight fish odor.
Transfer salmon to individual plates and add your sides.
CRISPY SALMON SKINS: Place the inside of salmon skin onto the skillet with oil and fry over medium-low heat. Let the oil crisp up the skin which may take up to 10-15 minutes. Remove salmon skins from heat and let sit. Your salmon skin will get crispy! Serve with your salmon or on its own with lemon juice. | <urn:uuid:b44d6f05-b26a-4094-8dd6-c2bb0d22693f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://food52.com/recipes/30492-pan-seared-salmon-with-crispy-salmon-skin-chips | 2023-09-27T12:53:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.853736 | 232 |

Today, Panama revealed its home and away kits for the 2018/19 international season. ‘Los Canaleros’ will wear the latest design throughout 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia this summer. Both will be on sale at World Soccer Shop, UK Soccer Shop, Lovell Soccer, Pro:Direct Soccer, Subside Sports and Kitbag.
Inspiration for the Panama 2018 World Cup kit designs comes from the national bird of Panama, the Harpy Eagle, and the iconic skyline of Panama City demonstrated by the symmetry and chevron pattern to the front of the jersey. The inner collar on both kits features the writing ‘Alcanzamos Por Fin La Victoria’, meaning ‘We Finally Reached Victory’, from the national anthem of Panama.
Panama’s 2018/19 New Balance shirts have been engineered using innovative NB DRY technology. The Home and Away Jerseys wick moisture away from the skin to help keep players fresh and dry from first to final whistle. The kits are completed by a prist weld detail crests, bonded tape details to the jersey shoulders, a ‘Panamá’ sign off to the back of the neck and crew neck collars.
The home kit is a traditional Pan Red, featuring a tonal Red Pepper chevron pattern to the front of the shirt, with Red Pepper to the shoulder and back of sleeve. A Pan Blue concealed fabric insert runs through the side of the shirt and shorts with a Pan Blue cuff horizontal band detailed on the ankle of the sock.
The away design mirrors the home, presented in a bold White with contrasting subtle Pan Blue chevron to the front and full Pan Blue to the shoulder and sleeves. The concealed fabric insert remains Pan Blue for the away, as does the cuff on the sock ankle.
The socks for both kits feature an elasticated ankle zone and 2×2 rib Achilles region with cushioned protection. An additional cushioned heel zone and vented cushioned footbed and toe section have been designed to help players play with power, comfort and extra support.
Panama player Jamie Penedo, said: “We are all very excited to wear this kit at this tournament, it will be such a proud moment for the whole team and the country. I’m sure the fans will love these kits and will wear them with great pride.”
New Balance Football General Manager, Kenny McCallum, said: “Panama’s qualification for Russia was an incredible achievement. We look forward to seeing this kit on the world stage, worn by the players and the passionate supporters who will be following in Russia, back home in Central America, and across the world.” | <urn:uuid:6dc3e59d-ae47-4af1-b42b-5956e2fff6d3> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://footballfashion.org/wordpress/2018/04/06/panama-2018-world-cup-new-balance-home-and-away-jerseys/ | 2023-09-27T12:00:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.919144 | 555 |
The Aries Full Moon on October 20, 2021, brings an intense wave of energy. It activates a configuration known as T-Square which may stir tension but also inspire us to take affirmative action on something that is no longer working in our lives.
We may feel our emotions heightened or find ourselves coming face to face with some fears that we are finally ready to overcome.
With all of this energy brewing, this ritual is designed to reconnect you with the intention and desire of your heart.
By connecting with your heart, you can make clearer decisions and be sure you are following your true heart’s calling, no matter what is unfolding around you.
Aries Full Moon Ritual for Connecting with your Heart’s Desire
You will need:
- Aura cleansing tool of choice (herb sticks, incense, oils, wands, etc.)
- 4 Candles
- Bowl of salt water
- Pen and paper
- Aries Full Moon Reading
This ritual is best done between October 17-29, 2021
1.) Use your cleansing tool of choice to clear your aura and then your surroundings. If you like, as you cleanse your aura feel free to recite the following –
“I lift away all that is heavy and all that is no longer mine to carry. I infuse my being with the power of love. I am cleansed. I am whole. I am in complete alignment with my soul. I am cleansed. I am whole. I am in complete alignment with my soul.”
As you cleanse your surroundings, feel free to recite-
“I cleanse from this space all that is heavy, dark, and no longer needed. The energy of my space is aligned, clear, and free to flow. Only light now fills my home. Only peace now fills my home. My home is a sanctuary of love and light. The energy of my space is aligned, clear, and free to flow.”
2.) After cleansing, set up your ritual as follows-
- Light the candles and place them in a square shape on the floor or on a table
- Take your bowl of salt water and place it in the center of the square of candles
- Have your paper and pen to the side
3.) Get nice and comfortable, and then gently begin rubbing your heart center area in a circular motion to your left (so in a clockwise direction if you imagine a clock face up on your chest) to start activating the energy. Repeat the circles for about 1-2 minutes or 100 times if you can! You should begin feeling a gentle hum or buzz of energy, but it’s ok if you don’t.
4.) Next, place your hands into prayer position and rest them against your heart center. Close your eyes and take 10-20 deep breaths. As you breathe, imagine your heart center opening up. You can imagine it as a flower bud opening, or as a ball of white or pink light that gradually gets bigger and bigger.
Note: if you are not the best visualizer, you can also silently repeat to yourself- “I am now opening my heart center to release and unlock my true desires.”
5.) Once you are nice and relaxed (it may take more than 10-20 breaths), gently and quietly ask your heart to show you or tell you its desire. Ask your heart what it needs from you. You may see it as written words or a vision, you may hear it being spoken to you, or you may just get a feeling or “knowing”. Trust whatever feelings or messages arrive and try not to judge. Keep it simple.
6.) Take your pen and paper and begin writing down whatever messages are unfolding so you can remember them later. Feel free to write as much or as little as you like.
7.) Once you are done journaling, using your finger, begin swirling the bowl of salt water in any direction, while you repeat the following (or feel free to say what you want in the moment)-
“I release wash away the fears of yesterday and release myself from the obstacles holding me back. I forgive and let go of the past and know that I no longer need to carry it with me. I wash away my fears and replace them with the wisdom of my heart’s desire. My heart’s desire of (insert heart’s desire here) now flows through me and leads me at every turn. Nothing is impossible as long as I am following my heart’s desire.”
9.) Take your bowl of salt water to the sink and gently pour it over each of your hands, like you are washing them.
10.) Dry your hands and then do your Aries Full Moon reading, which will guide you to select a crystal and receive an intuitive message.
11.) lose the ritual by snuffing out your candles. You can keep your journal writing in a safe place to remind yourself of your heart’s desire, or you can choose to burn it using the flames of your four candles. (If you choose this step, be safe and have a separate bowl of water nearby that you can use to throw your papers in once they get too hot.)

Formula One’s tyre supplier Pirelli have been given extra testing time to evaluate their extreme wet-weather tyres ahead of the 2017 season.
An additional two-day test will take place before the start of official pre-season testing in a bid to gain further feedback on Pirelli’s extreme wet-weather tyres, which were criticised several times during the 2016 season. One of the existing ‘mule’ cars from Mercedes, Ferrari or Red Bull Racing are likely to be used.
As well as an extra dedicated test, one of the pre-season test days is very likely to be ear-marked for further wet-weather testing. If rain does not fall at the test, then tanker trucks may be used to soak the track.
With wider tyres coming into the sport as part of a technical regulation revamp in 2017, Pirelli were granted several test sessions throughout 2016 in order to develop the new tyres, using modified 2016 cars from Mercedes, Red Bull Racing and Ferrari. All other teams will sample 2017-spec tyres for the first time at the opening test in Barcelona.
The first official pre-season test runs from Monday 27th February to Thursday 2nd March, with the second test running from Tuesday 7th March – Friday 10th March. | <urn:uuid:5ab882e4-f574-4034-9d86-95a445fd0281> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://formulaspy.com/f1/pirelli-granted-additional-wet-weather-test-mileage-30795 | 2023-09-27T11:14:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.956243 | 263 |
This post is a long time coming. I have been making savory oatmeal for my boys for about 3 years. It is adapted from one of my favorite blogs, Happy Healthy Long Life. Whenever I bring this oatmeal to a potluck several people ask for the recipe. I love making a big batch of savory oatmeal and enjoying the leftovers for several meals. Preparing this oatmeal was one of the easiest ways to get vegetables into my kids when they were younger. It was my youngest boy’s favorite food for over a year. The boys would eat it for breakfast lunch or dinner. I still make a batch about once every two weeks. It is a great way to use up all of my greens and have a hearty side dish.
This video was shot a few years ago and is my first attempt at video editing. I hope there will be many more videos and my editing skills will improve with each one. You have to start somewhere, right?
Recipe is below video.
Savory Oatmeal Recipe:
First, water sauté the following ingredients.
1 small onion*
2 cloves garlic*
2 cups of mushrooms (any kind you like)
1/3 cup chopped sun dried tomatoes (look for the un-sulfured kind)
4 cups of greens (kale, spinach, bok choy, swiss chard, etc…)
Then add the seasonings.
1 tablespoon of seasoning (tandoori or cajun or southwest)
1/2 teaspoon of turmeric
1/2 teaspoon of chipotle powder (if you want to spice it up)
1/2 cup of lemon juice (optional, you can add at the end)
2 cups steel cut oats
4 cups water
1/2 cup of nutritional yeast
* You can use onion powder and garlic powder if you do not want to use fresh onion or garlic.
Stir frequently! Once it thickens it likes to stick to the bottom of the pot. The oatmeal could take anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes to cook. The cooking time depends on the type of steel cut oats you use. Follow directions on the box.
Enjoy for breakfast, lunch or dinner! | <urn:uuid:5bae876b-3ba2-438c-a9b8-ce0a16031268> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://fortheloveofcows.com/the-long-awaited-savory-oatmeal-post/ | 2023-09-27T12:46:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.939562 | 461 |
Many Cores, Many Models: GPU Programming Model vs. Vendor Compatibility Overview
by Andreas Herten
arXiv 12 Sep 2023
In recent history, GPUs became a key driver of compute performance in HPC. With the installation of the Frontier supercomputer, they became the enablers of the Exascale era; further largest-scale installations are in progress (Aurora, El Capitan, JUPITER). But the early-day dominance by NVIDIA and their CUDA programming model has changed: The current HPC GPU landscape features three vendors (AMD, Intel, NVIDIA), each with native and derived programming models. The choices are ample, but not all models are supported on all platforms, especially if support for Fortran is needed; in addition, some restrictions might apply. It is hard for scientific programmers to navigate this abundance of choices and limits.
This paper gives a guide by matching the GPU platforms with supported programming models, presented in a concise table and further elaborated in detailed comments. An assessment is made regarding the level of support of a model on a platform.
This paper presented a methodology to categorize the support of
programming models on HPC GPU devices, assessing the level of
support and the provider (vendor or third-party). The results for a
number of selected models on GPUs of three vendors (AMD, Intel,
NVIDIA) were presented in Figure 1, accompanied by extensive
descriptions in section 4. The limitations of the method and some
key caveats of the presentation were discussed in section 5.
The support for NVIDIA GPUs can be considered most comprehensive,
founded in their long-time prevalence in the field.CUDA
is possibly the most famous GPU programming model, and both
other vendors (AMD, Intel) provide tools for converting CUDA
C/C++ to their nativemodel (HIP, SYCL). AMDdesigned HIP closely
to mimic CUDA-like programming and enable it other platforms.
And, indeed, NVIDIA and AMD GPUs can be used from the same
source code, and recently also Intel GPUs with chipStar. SYCL is an
entirely different programming model compared to CUDA or HIP,
but it also supports all three GPU platform; either by the work
by Intel or the community (Open SYCL). While OpenACC can be
used on NVIDIA and AMD GPUs, support for Intel GPUs does not
exist. OpenMP, on the other hand, is supported on all three platforms
– and even for both C++ and Fortran. Standard language
parallelism appears to be the model with the fastest change at the
moment, with multiple new projects in progress for all three platforms.
Kokkos and Alpaka both provide higher-level abstractions
and support all three platform. Python, a somewhat outlier in the
list, is also well-supported by all three platforms.
While the C++ support appears to be well on the way to good
compatibility and portability, the situation looks severely different
for Fortran. The only natively supported programming model on
all three platforms is OpenMP. | <urn:uuid:b46b8a22-3943-4300-afb3-b31bb4be7915> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://fortran-lang.discourse.group/t/gpu-programming-model-vs-vendor-compatibility-overview-preprint/6504 | 2023-09-27T11:19:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.924149 | 654 |
I’ve a 64G mSATA adapter from http://shop.rockstor.com/collections/diy-accessories. Had it up and running in no time at all on a Dell 755 workstation and a pair of 1TB SATA drives. Good stuff.
But, came by a Dell PowerEdge 2950 (6 1TB drives on a RAID controller at RAID 6). Booting the Rockstor install from a DVD (wouldn’t boot from the USB I used on the 755), I was able to get a new install on to the mSATA drive - but no matter how I fiddle and tweak the BIOS, I’ve not been able to get the thing to boot. It’s hooking into the PE BIOS - I see the adapter’s splash in POST - but it never tries to boot. PE BIOS reports ‘no boot device’ and does the ‘F1 retry or F2 for setup’ dance.
If I install Rockstor or CentOS to the RAID itself - no problems, it all boots and runs just fine - but I’d rather use this mSATA for the OS.
Pretty sure I’ve gotta do some kind of magic to get the mSATA ‘visible’ as a boot device. And, I’ve run out of options and convolutions in the PE BIOS setup.
Any suggestions or ideas? Sorry, not alter for sacrifices - but may be tempted.
First question - latest firmware?
Good question - and a tad tricky to answer. And you may well be spot on as to where this issue resides.
This box wasn’t a “Dell Server”. It was a vendor supplied server for a backup system. As such, the BIOS is not Dell branded. Looks like 2950 BIOS, just doesn’t say DELL anywhere - splash screen is eerie to look at.
First thing I’ll try next - see if I can get the actual DELL BIOS on board at the latest revision - see what I get from there.
Then look around on Dells site to see if you can find the BIOS to see if it fixed any of these issues in the change log. Could it be that your boot order is not correct. Its not uncommon to have external boot devices disabled on machines like this. I know we disabled them all at my work.
Downloaded a new BIOS file - now seems I have to build a DOS USB stick to use it.
Gads, one would think an outfit like DELL would have a *nix native tool.
Thanks guys! Soon as I get that stick built and see the results of the BIOS “refresh”, I’ll let ya know how it went.
Nothing about enterprise level hardware is easy.
The Poweredge 1950 and 2950 are seriously old hardware. I would not be surprised if you had bulging capacitors on the PCI riser card. This can quickly result in a server that powers off unexpectedly or even refusing to POST. These were great servers back in the day, but are quickly becoming unreliable simply due to aging capacitors. If this is just a test/lab machine, you could just replace the caps in the riser card with equivalent units to keep the server usable. The problematic card looks like this: http://www.techpartswarehouse.com/media/images/DE-H6188_wm.jpg and if hyou have the newer riser card inside like this: http://www.itinstock.com/ekmps/shops/itinstock/images/dell-poweredge-2950-pci-e-riser-card-with-bracket-h6183-0h6183-34767-p.jpg it will not have the issues I described. I believe the good riser comes with the PE 2950 v3 (2950 III)
Hi Everyone I know that it’s very old post but I am also in similar situation with trying to boot FreeNAS from mSATA without luck. It detects the drive during installation but when it comes to booting the bios seems not to have an option to boot via PCIe. I have updated BIOS to the latest version which is 2.6.1 I think and was wondering if anyone succeed.
I believe the original issue actually stems from a lack of UEFI capability on the PowerEdge 2950, meaning that the mSATA disk attached to the PCIe bus was not accessible until after the BIOS were completed.
If you’re also using a PCIe mSATA bridge on older (non-UEFI) hardware this is likely your issue as well.
If that’s the case, I’m afraid you’ll need to do something creative.
Perhaps you can boot to a USB disk, and point the boot sector via grub to the destination drive, or failing that, boot an entire kernel from USB and define the root partition as your mSATA disk so that kernel drivers can initialize it.
Please note that this is purely speculative, will require an advanced touch and is most definately outside the realm of standard config. | <urn:uuid:ed5b14a6-701b-45f8-8f9b-80e7aaf65a11> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://forum.rockstor.com/t/msata-on-dell-pe-2950/1046 | 2023-09-27T11:44:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.928627 | 1,101 |
