Again, we don't know how far he was along the Grand Line before they encountered Mihawk. A single week could easily get them incredibly far along the Grand Line and it has not been said how long Mihawk has pursued them.
The Straw Hats have sailed much of the way across the Grand Line in not much more time and with a much smaller, damaged ship and a much smaller crew to boot.
The point is the Strawhats are the protagonists. They do stuff that nobody else can do. If a really dude like Krieg (whom I consider really weak in comparison of the likes of Crocodile, Bellamy, Mihawk, Doflamingo, Kuma, Ace and Blackbeard) could cross half the Grand Line that easily and even reach the Holy Land of the world itself, Maryjoa then somehow the whole build up for the Grand Line and consiquently for the protagonists suffers a big loss in status.
Mihawk, Doflamingo, Ace or Blackbeard could probably cross the first half of the Grand Line that quick and only if they have an Eternal Pose. That a guy like Krieg would do it would be a bigger display of luck then Luffy has had alltogether in the entire series so far.
Krieg's galleon is easily twice as tall as the Baratie; would a galleon have a stock of oars fifty feet or more in length? His ship simply isn't designed to be rowed regardless of how much effort is put into it.
If the captain of the ship wants to prepare for all situations then she should have a stock of oars fifty feet lenght or more? It may not be easy to store them somewhere but if someone wants to go sure then they would be there.
It's not an issue of willpower or strength, it's an issue where it's simply not mechanically possible for them to do such a thing.
In a real world not, but in a world were people have DF abilities, ships sail on clouds, islands get knocked into the sky, a whale has a the sky painted in the inside of his stomach walls and where a huge python dances lambada with the protagonists I consider it mechanically very possible that fifty feet long oars could be used for paddling to push a galleon forward.
Aqua Laguna is a considerably different thing that an actual squall, which would have had very limited visibility. The conditions did not necessarily prevent Mihawk from sinking Krieg's ship, it simply created a condition where the galleon could slip away from him.
That´s what I´m saying. If it slipped away from him he wasn´t able to hit it. He may have attacked it but due to the circumstances he couldn´t hit it which means the damages on the galleon to not come from Mihawks hand.
It's also not that far away from Reverse Mountain, which may well mean that he had pursued Gin so far across East Blue that he decided to drop by the Baratie with a date before returning to the Grand Line.
Doesn´t negate my point though. Not only is Reverse Mountain not far away from Baratie but it also isn´t far away from the Calm Belt. Doesn´t matter if Fullbody was on his way to the restaurant or to the mountain in both cases he could have intercepted Krieg coming from the Calm Belt. In fact if he intercepted him on his way to Reverse Mountain then Krieg definitely escaped through the Calm Belt because there´s no chance that Fullbody runs into Krieg close to Reverse Mountain if Krieg got out at the other part of the Red Line.
Actually, we don't know where Mirrorball Island is. That may have been a random stop on his way back home. Considering that he quickly had Django put on trial after arresting him, he must have went back on the Grand Line shortly after his visit there.
We don´t know for sure but it is really really unlikely that it is on the Grand Line. Jango is not Mihawk to sail easily through the Grand Line with a small boat. The fact that he had an easy travel and that he passed Morgan and met Fullbody who were all East Blue characters so far just screams that Mirrorball Island is in East Blue. As far as the trial is concerned. That happened at the Marine HQ. It´s evident because not only to they meet Hina at that place but we also see Garp, Coby and Helmeppo in the background.
It is a title story after all, so we don´t need a big elaboration to see how they sail the Grand Line. In CobyMeppo´s side adventure it happened in three pages. The first page shows Garp telling them that he takes them to the HQ. The second one shows the ship sailing and the third one shows them at the HQ already.
Now if you compare that to Jango´s story it is a bit shorter. It happens in two pages. The first one shows that Fullbody is taking Jango with him and the next one already shows them at the desired destination. In comparison to the CobyMeppo story the only pic that is missing is the one of a ship sailing on water.
Garps way from East Blue to the HQ was done real quick. So why couldn´t Fullbody´s have been done quicker? It´s not as if it is something that would require a novelization.
Actually, we don't know when they ran out of supplies. His comments suggest that he knew the situation was getting desperate, but the actual situation was far worse than he had imagined.
Plus I don't see him trying such a desperate move if he isn't well aware that Fullbody's ship was too much for Krieg's galleon to currently handle.
Well I think witnessing one guy singlehandedly sink 98% of a 50 ship strong ship, getting in a real Grand Line storm, rowing like hell to move a huge galleon and escape from monstrous Sea Kings is really enough to weaken the moral of a crew. I mean who in his right mind (except for the Strawhats who ain´t normal anyway) would actually be willing to take on a Marine ship after they´ve seen hell so often in a short amount of time? I know would do anything but fight after I´ve experienced all of that. Gin´s speech he gives Luffy about the horrors of the Grand Line shows how much a hell that experience was to him. | <urn:uuid:404dda57-84e3-4fbc-b418-88a187b3f468> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://forums.arlongpark.net/topic/5822/how-to-cross-the-calm-belt | 2023-09-27T11:03:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.978338 | 1,375 |
I have been crashing for over 2 months. I’ve sent a log and reported this already on June 1st.
This happens when an enemy is spotted or something red comes onto my screen, whether it be at the edge like a floating icon or in my vision in front of me. Happens 99% in every game I play, on average around 2 times a game.
I get a 2001/2004/2014 error code when i see the disconnected screen and have to rejoin the game again.
In turn, this crash has a 99-100% rate of happening. I will supply the last few games’ logs I’ve played as almost all of them have had at least some hangs or crashes.
Steps to reproduce for me are to play any mission, any difficulty, any map and there is a high likelyhood I will crash.
I play on the steam platform
Here is my profile link Steam Community :: Leftenant Right-hook
Here are several logs of games I’ve played. I haven’t checked them out but in almost every game I have crashed at least once. So these should give you a good selection of what has happened.
I’ve already verified the game files to no avail.

and i don’t mean modifier, you should tweak it so it’s not possible just go entire runs with spamming ammo hungry weapons with 3-4players in the team. As far as i know it also spawns ammo if you are low on it or medpacks if you are low on hp so people can just spam their guns and don’t switch to melee even on hi damnation. It really dumbs down the gameplay as there is basically no ammo management
I think the problem can go both ways. Much more strict ammo management would punish people who play conservatively or with more of the “basic” weapons (Kantrael Lasguns, normal Autoguns) than people who spam with bolters, stubbers, or flamers. People who spam will be low on ammo more, so they’ll be taking all the pickups.
Maybe a change like this is still necessary, even if there is sone growing pains for a few months while people figure out the new ammo economy, but I wouldn’t be up for a drastic change (small reduction in total ammo would be fine I think).
Maybe some mission modifier, where you have less range enemies and a general supply shortage in the area. Zola could drop an Ammo Box on fixed positions.
Been of the opinion that ammo pick-ups could be redone into supply points.
In the map Hab Block investigation event with the Nurgle Tree (that’s the official name) there’s two areas that seem to always have ammo drops, kind of like a supply depot. It seems like a good design, to me. If more maps did that and had less RNG drops in the rest of the map that may or may not achieve the desired result. People with low ammo weapons could use their guns more and absurdly wasteful players would just be empty after each room. Maybe. Ammo reserves are really generous. But the game also wants players to shoot.
One problem I noticed with the current system is that ammo drops before an arena event seem to be overly randomized. I remember one time we were doing a damnation excise vault mission and we get to the final arena where there is a med station and two large crates. The med stations are always fully stocked but the crate contents are random and out of five potential spawns all we got was a single ammo pickup, and not even a big one. The arena did have some ammo drops in it but overall supplies were pretty tight for us.
Vermintide avoids this problem simply by having unlimited ammo crates placed right before difficult arena events. While I don’t think that would work in Darktide, I think there’s a balance you could strike between the two where drops tend towards an average instead of just giving the team nothing if they get unlucky.
I think the director seems to run hot or cold on ammo. It should be putting pressure on the team sometimes during missions, not just spending whole runs removing ammo from the team or whole runs glutting them.
But I’m tired of hearing this OH NO THE TEAM HAS AMMO IN A SHOOTING GAME conversation. Ammo conservation is boring. Its not a fun mechanic. I have a cool gun and I want to use it.
Edit; i should say that ammo conservation is a necessary mechanic that adds desirable complexity. But making the game ammo scarce to force melee combat is boring and bad design.
It is not possible to do an entire run and using guns that uses a lot of ammos.
If you have 4 players that use weapons like bolter (full auto mode), kantrael or lawbringer shotgun, flamer, autopistol etc. and that they don’t try to watch their fire, believe me, you will run out of ammo really soon enough.
The problem is not that. The problem is the ammo system. Your proposition will lead to a problem for the veterans. I repeat that we have toxic players that don’t care of the team and steal every ammo box they find.
I know that it is not realistic, but I tend to think that when picking an ammo it should give less ammos but shared between all the team. Off course, the fact that one player is full on ammos should not permit an other player to get more ammos.
Also, they need to increase the ammos reserve of several guns… revolver, shotguns, infantry autoguns, autopistols are the ones I think at first.
Then, here, I would agree to allow less ammo on maps.
Yeah, ammo vacuums are annoying but not as annoying as people, who constantly push and ignore ammo/grenades/plasteel etc. (even on damnation) when I have full pouches, and then when I need some ammo they become vacuums.
You’ve been running empty and ignoring my markers for half a map ZELOT why must thee grab this box of ammo now?!
I tend to not take ammos if I don’t need them… except if noone take them.
About plasteel (yeah diamantine, everybody has plenty of it), this make me angry to see players that just want rushing the map and don’t even try to check around them and let 60% of the plasteel…
It all depends if you have a veteran in your team or not, without it ammo hungry weapons require a minimum of ammo management. I think this problem will automatically fix itself when more classes get introduced in the game. Also, since we are here, i want to outline that with a vet in the hunting ground modifier, the pack of hounds are basically a ammo crate.
Aura aptitude of the veteran should be limited to the veteran itself… and not the entire team.
I agree is the best aura, but if it’s limited to just the vet it’is in contrast to the design of the classes that all have some little utility to coherecny allies, they could make it an iconic and give Vet someting elese but vet alredy is very strong, this would buff him even more.
I think balance-wise classes are pretty balanced with Zealot on top and the best players I see (those who carry the hardest) are ogryns in the “top skill” category.
They could probably swap the +15% weakspot damage to aura and ammo regen to vet only. I wouldn’t even be mad, although it would hurt “infinite ammo” weapons like rumbler a lot.
On a total side note this swap could increase toxicity, where Vet’s picking up ammo would be frowned upon very heavily (due to the innate regeneration).
Oh, My Manly-Manperor no! The war for ammo would be disastrous. Currently some of more reasonable players rely on ammo provided by vet occasionally nibling ammo box or 2. Without it I fear Orgryns might want to drop their guns and equip vet to have a backup melee / throwing weapon.
Maybe I should have added that I was talking about a change that would be linked to my idea of ammo picked that would have been shared with the entire team.
But let’s be honest… nothing of this will happen…
that’s why I cannot be in favor of less ammo in damnation
I don’t think there would be room for toxicity, vets alredy always have this benefit an no one is flaming them for picking ammo when they need, it’s pretty reasonable to assume that a class that shoots a lot can’t be compleatly sustained by some small ammo rigen, what i hate the most is Ogryns spamming their ripper gun at evry encounter and hogging all the ammo.
Noted. Yep, that would work. On the other hand there have to be some sort of punishment for “rushers”.
If I’m checking every nook and cranny to find plasteel and diamantide (hope against all odds it will be useful one day, and my 18k of it can be used for something) or ammo I don’t think Zealot half a map away should get his share untill there is some sort of appology or remorse.
While this sounds like a reasonable take, based on my experience in VT2 I’m pretty sure this could be an issue (elf got no ammo pickup since it had regen). This would be especially hard for weapons that you would use against horde on Vet (like braced).
I think this would be a good change btw, +weakspot damage is pretty good for a lot of weapons to hit breakpoints, and the weapon’s ammo could be balanced better. I’m just really worried it would mean that vets shouldn’t pick up ammo.
I mean to be realistic, almost all vet’s weapons need pickups (apart from lasgun), with the full party suddenly way shorter on ammo would probably not be happy with Vet bringing something like a bolter, a plasma, or an anti-horde ranged weapon like braced or autopistol, but maybe it’s just my imaginations.
As veteran, I pick ammo only if I need. But, I consider that a veteran has a priority against an ogryn or a zealot.
If I am zealot, I take ammos only if veteran and ogryn don’t need them, as I consider that my axe is enough to handle everything.
The only situation where I am upset is that when I see someone shooting everywhere and picking ammos without even checking if the others could need them. Then here, if I need ammo, I don’t care I take before he will steal them. This happen mostly with flamer / boltgun used in auto / infantry autogun / autopistol and stubbers of Ogryn…
Off course when you try to ask people to take in consideration the needs of the team, you, or receive no answers and they continue, or they just tell you that they are not noob and try to explain you that they need ammo more than you (special mention of the flamer’s users)
Yes, i reconize this so much evry so often i find such players that just spam their low ammo weapon and then constantly stealing ammo forcing you to be very conservative with yours. Unfortunatley there is no really help for this situation. | <urn:uuid:4f8427ed-c810-489b-ab4d-dc70ddf41548> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/there-should-be-less-ammo-in-damnation/78335 | 2023-09-27T11:03:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.964512 | 2,194 |
I just downloaded the game on my Dell G3 3500 laptop and was excited to start playing. I go to start my very first game so I select the starter world, I'm greeted by the "world is generating" loading screen, everything is looking/loading great so far, the bar completes and then it goes black for a second in the top right hand of the screen and then a second larger black frame pops up over the entire screen and then it sends me back to the main menu with no trace of ever having tried to start a game, I try this method again but changing around the difficulty and the world but to no avail. I then proceeded with all the troubleshooting steps like verifying the files integrity (which it said was complete), lowering resolution/screen size, unistalling/reinstalling the game, changing around the firewall security etc. Nothing has worked, so here I am. I hope this is descriptive enough as I'm not too familiar with computers and this is about the extent of what I know how to do. Thank you and I hope you have a great New Year!

Poll: Democrats support secular education requirements at yeshivas
The vast majority of registered Democrats support requirements for secular education at religious yeshivas, according to a new poll commissioned by the advocacy group YAFFED that was released Wednesday.
The poll, of 570 people reached from May 21 through June 6, found that more than 80% of New York City’s Democrats either strongly favor or somewhat favor “requiring that students in private schools get basic education in secular subjects that is at least substantially equivalent to what public schools offer.”
There were only three Haredi, or ultra-Orthodox Jews, among the sample, out of 186 total Jewish respondents.
The poll’s findings appear designed to convince mayoral candidates that generating Hasidic support by either remaining vague on or expressly supporting some religious yeshivas that offer paltry secular educations is not the only road to a Democratic primary victory that all but promises a seat at City Hall in blue New York City.
“Candidates would be wise to adopt stances that not only align them with a huge swath of the electorate, but that also ensure that students across New York—regardless of where they go to school—are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to access livable wage jobs or pursue higher education,” said Naftuli Moster, the head of YAFFED, in a written statement.
A New York City Department of Education investigation found in 2019 that only two out of 28 yeshivas it examined were found to meet substantial equivalency guidelines that require private schools teach secular subjects like English and science.
After repeated delays, the state’s Board of Regents is supposed to release revised regulations by the end of the year that will give the state power to enforce the substantial equivalency requirements.
Opponents of the proposed oversight rules say the government is overstepping its bounds, and some cite the adequate or more-than-adequate secular studies programs at Modern-Orthodox and other yeshivas rather than the Hasidic ones targeted by the probe. Others admit that many Hasidic yeshivas do not provide secular studies, but that schools should have the right to teach exclusively religious subjects.
The two mayoral frontrunners, entrepreneur Andrew Yang and Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, have appeared to be neck-in-neck for endorsements from Hasidic and other Orthdox leaders, in part because of their fervent defense of the religious yeshivas.
In April, Yang, who told the Forward that “we shouldn’t interfere with their religious and parental choice as long as the outcomes are good,” earned the endorsements of state Assemblyman Simcha Eichenstein and City Councilman Kalman Yeger, who both represent the Hasidic neighborhood of Borough Park. In May, Yang won the support of both of Williamsburg’s dueling Satmar factions.
But after Adams in Mishpacha, the Orthodox magazine, in late May warned that “the worst thing you can do right now is abandon your old friend,” and surged in the polls last week, the minority Aroni Satmar faction switched its endorsement to him.
Adams also recently won support from the Flatbush Jewish Community Coalition and the Chabad-Lubavitch community headquartered in Crown Heights.
It’s unclear if the poll will have an impact on the frontrunners. On the day of the poll’s release, both Adams and Yang visited the Aroni Satmar faction’s leader.

Understanding Behavior in Foster Children
Foster children often enter homes with challenging behaviors rooted in a history of trauma. Parents need to be able to decipher problem behavior in order to understand its source. This insight will enable parents to help their children heal and learn new, more acceptable ways to express themselves. This course will look at the function, or purpose, of behaviors, and will provide keys for unlocking the underlying meaning of challenging behaviors. Also covered are the ABCs of behavior and a look at parenting styles.
At the end of this course, you will be able to:
Some kids may need adults that have dealt with kids in their situation to talk to them like they need them to. You just cant holler or scold a child without knowing the real reason why they are acting out. Every child needs that comfort zone and that person who seems to understand how they are feeling.
This course was very helpful, it taught me how to deal with different situations. It was a good learning experience for me. Things I did not know how to deal with, now I have a better understanding on how to deal with them.

AFFTON, Mo. — Thieves broke into 16 cars early Thursday morning at the Marlborough Trails apartment complex in Affton, Missouri.
St. Louis and St. Charles counties have been following these crimes under their special task force, but that hasn’t stopped thieves. Residents were hit just under a year ago, and now they’re once again left asking when will it end after dealing with yet another wave of break-ins.
“We move out here thinking it’s going to be a better area. Then, stuff like this happens. It’s kind of stressful,” said Marlborough Apartments resident Jason Casanover.
It’s a scene we’ve seen time and time again — broken glass, a taped-up window, and the frustrated car owners left picking up the pieces.
“I noticed my window was bashed out as well, and it’s the first time it’s ever happened since I’ve been here,” said car break-in victim Stephen Coenen.
Coenen said he had several items stolen but nothing of value. That didn’t stop thieves from making a mess.
“Then, I saw the tray from my center console was thrown on the ground about 12 feet from the car, and it definitely looks like it was done in a hurry,” said Coenen. “They had even moved my front seat forward as if they were looking to see if anything was under there.”
Many of these residents have to wait days and spend hundreds of dollars to repair their windows. Bailey Youngblood and her fiancé also had their car broken into.
“I actually heard of a person that had their car broken into, and a weapon was stolen only to later be used in a crime that same morning,” said Youngblood. “I mean they’ve got this down to a science.”
After they saw they weren’t the only ones, the couple sprung into action alerting other neighbors to help tape up their windows.
“We grabbed our trash bags and our masking tape, and we taped some peoples’ up, which you know I think brought us together,” said Youngblood.
An investigation into the break-ins is ongoing.

SAN DIEGO — With five sexually violent predators already housed in San Diego County neighborhoods, Supervisor Jim Desmond says policies surrounding their placements need to change.
A proposed placement for sexually violent predator Douglas Badger was withdrawn this week, marking the second rejection in less than six months. The California Department of State Hospitals proposed housing Douglas Badger in Rancho Bernardo after a superior court judge ruled against a Mount Helix placement in May.
After weeks of protests and public outcry, the owners of the Rancho Bernardo home where Badger was supposed to stay changed their minds. The news was a relief to the community but it didn’t go far enough for Desmond.
Desmond is asking the San Diego County Board of Supervisors Tuesday to oppose further placements of sexually violent predators until local jurisdictions can fully participate in the decision-making process, including having full veto authority.

SALEM, Va. – West Liberty's Mountain East Conference Tournament run came to an end here Sunday afternoon as West Virginia Wesleyan held on for a 2-1 win in the losers’ bracket final at the Moyer Sports Complex.
Coach Herb Minch's two-time defending champion Hilltoppers (35-21-1) still hope to receive an at-large bid to their third consecutive NCAA Atlantic Region Tournament while the Bobcats advanced to Sunday's championship finals against Fairmont State.
Sidney Little got West Liberty off to a flying start on Sunday when she launched a solo blast over the left field fence in the top of the first for a 1-0 Hilltopper lead.
The Black and Gold carried that advantage into the third inning only to see a pair of errors open the door for West Virginia Wesleyan to push a pair of unearned runs across the plate.
Gifted with a 2-1 lead, Bobcat hurler Abby O'Shields slammed the door the rest of the way. The returning All-Region southpaw retired 12 of the last 13 Hilltoppers to finish off the complete-game win.
Riley Conkle snapped O'Shields' run of nine consecutive outs with a leadoff single in the top of the seventh but wound up stranded at first when the Bobcat pitcher got the next three outs to end the game.
Katie Beeman had two of West Liberty's five hits and added a stolen base. Taylor Bonnett pitched well in relief, blanking the Bobcats on three singles while striking out three and not walking a batter over the final four innings.

"Russell Westbrook does not have a championship. Without a ring, I don't fault Westbrook for gobbling up all the stats he can because that might be his legacy -- STATS."
Listen to JT The Brick defend Russell Westbrook’s tireless, and sometimes overly excessive chase to average a Triple-Double for the second consecutive season.
With many critical of Westbrook’s desire to snipe rebounds away from his teammates to keep his numbers up, JT says that for a guy playing in a small market with only a limited window to ever win championship rings, the sportsman in Westbrook wants to also get a little some for him too, and cement his legacy down the line when others will only want to only talk about Kobe Bryant and LeBron James' titles.
JT says Westbrook wants to win rings but wants to also make his name remain in basketball lore for the rest of time. | <urn:uuid:c35e945c-6060-4afc-af1b-90bc97a21418> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://foxsportsradio.iheart.com/content/2018-04-12-so-westbrook-chases-statswho-cares/ | 2023-09-27T11:45:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.982016 | 182 |
Self-management is the idea that teams and individuals can often figure things out on their own, without the need for someone telling them what to do or how to do it.
Self-managed teams and individuals get the work done without authoritarian supervision.
In more modern organizations, individuals are trusted to get results without constant supervision.
That doesn't mean there's no management or no coaching.
On the contrary, self-managed individuals spend less time asking for permission and more time asking for feedback and coaching.
In turn, managers spend less time telling people what to do and more time helping colleagues find solutions. | <urn:uuid:9a65e6f4-5ebd-47f9-ac32-e43a083ddecb> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://fr.holaspirit.com/agile-terms/self-management | 2023-09-27T10:41:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.958697 | 128 |
- Eliminate redundant calculations
- Vectorize any operations that you can
- Avoid using things like repmat and use things like bsxfun, where possible
Speeding up code: pre-allocation, vectorization, parfor, spmd....
5 vues (au cours des 30 derniers jours)
I have written a very tricky and large bit of code. Its processing a data set of 5 million values. In outline the code goes like this.
1. Outer parfor loop (1: 500K).
2. Next loop (1: ~100)
3. Test lots of conditions
4. Inner for loop. 1: K. Assign values to a growing cell array, where K is the length of it. Each cell contains a struct, which in turn contains cell arrays (Its a really high dimensional data set!).
The problem is that it currently takes 6 seconds to carry out one run of the outer loop. I need to dramatically speed it up. (24 hours run time would be ok. 24 mins would be better :)).
I have used the profiler extensivly, and other than a warning telling me to pre-allocate, it all looks ok.
I have read lots of stuff like : http://www.ee.columbia.edu/~marios/matlab/Writing_Fast_MATLAB_Code.pdf:
Stuff I am NOT currently doing:
1. pre-allocate the cell object. The reason is that I would need to search through the object to find which values are active or not each time I accessed the object. I assume this would take more time than would be saved by pre-allocation.
2. Vectorization. This is what I normally use when possible. However, this is such a complex bit of code, with many loops inside loops I dont even know where to start. Any hints?
3. I have the parallel toolbox, though only one 64 bit machine with enough RAM to load the dataset. Should I be using this? I have not done so before.
I am using win7 on a quod core machine with 16GB.
Any sensible comments welcome. thank you.

It's really hard to say what exactly you can do without knowing the nature of what is inside those for-loops.
Some ideas come to mind:
But post your code. It's really hard to say whats applicable without seeing it.
Jason Ross le 6 Fév 2013

Check using the Resource Monitor to see if you are swapping to disk while you are running. Given that you say you have enough RAM to load the data set in memory, I'm wondering if you also have enough RAM to deal with everything else that's going on. If that's the case, get more RAM.
It might also be useful to look at CPU utilization rates as well to see if they are pegged out. When you say you have four cores, are those compute cores or the "hyper-threaded" ones?
As for the parallel toolbox, if you only have one machine available, and you are taking up all the RAM with your existing program, then parallelization isn't likely to generate a speedup. But if you look at your RAM utilization and CPU utilization and could fit multiple copies of your program on the machine, it might help -- but if you can't, you'll likely end up going slower.
If you are doing a lot of disk I/O, a SSD will trump a "traditional" hard drive for performance and access time.
But it's likely that the above should be considered when you know your program is as tight as it can be. Sometimes throwing money at a problem works, but not always.

Make sure that it is a function and not a script... Huge speed difference there. When you pre-allocate, make sure your allocating enough for the eventual usage. I've seen cases where one pre-allocates, fills it up, then adds a little more to the end.
A few more thoughts...
If you are making many calls to a simple subroutine consider putting it inline, rather than calling it over and over.
If there is a particular computation that is really the bottleneck, you could consider mex-ing it.
hope it helps.
Jan le 6 Fév 2013
Concentrate to optimize the bottlenecks only. When you spend hours to improve some code, which occupies 2% of the total processing time, an acceleration of the factor 1000 leads to a almost 2% faster program also. So use the profiler and better some tic tocs to locate the bottle necks at first.
Unfortunately the profile disables the JIT acceleration, because the JIT can change the processing order of lines, while the profile must measure the lines in the original order.
Sean de Wolski le 7 Fév 2013
I'll also throw in the use of MATLAB Coder to generate mex files from various pieces of code. Although the milage will vary, you can sometimes see a pretty good speed-up with the MEXed version. | <urn:uuid:f25ee457-0688-421e-9d2f-916d483b62c2> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://fr.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/62508-speeding-up-code-pre-allocation-vectorization-parfor-spmd?s_tid=prof_contriblnk | 2023-09-27T11:18:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.919707 | 1,128 |

The Great City Chapter 18
The Urbanization of America • Migration from the Countryside to Urban Centers dominated American life • This was the case all over the world as it became more industrialized
The Lure of the City • Urban population increased by 7 times from 1863-1913 • 1920—most American’s lived in urban areas • What is an urban area?—2,500 people or more
Urban Families • Experienced • High infant mortality rates • Declining fertility • High death rate from disease • Harsh living conditions SO????? Why did people live in cities?
Causes of Urban Growth • Immigration—people from other countries coming to the U.S. and urban centers • National Migration—Americans moving to urban centers • Opportunities for African Americans • Opportunities for Woman • More readily available work • Excitement of living in a city
National Migrations • Geographic Mobility—people had the ability to move quickly, safely and cheaply • Rural Farm life was limited for woman so they moved to cities • How was rural life limited for women? • Southern Blacks moved to cities… • Because of bigotry and racist segregation and violence in the south • There were jobs up north—Although factory jobs were rare (most African Americans worked as servants in cities: cooks, janitors, general labor, etc.)
Immigrants • 1860-1920—28 Million immigrants came to the U.S. • Most from Europe (West Coast had Asian and Mexican Immigrants) • 1880—Italians, Greeks, Russian Jews, and Slavs • Early Immigrants were educated and had modest wealth • That changed…why?
The Ethnic City 1890—87% of Chicago were foreign born, 80% of New York, 84% of Milwaukee and Detroit New York had more Irish than Dublin and more Germans than Hamburg Cities were extremely racially and culturally diverse This was both strength and weakness of cities
Assimilation • Assimilation—the act of becoming a part of something • Most immigrants were young 15-45 • Wanted to be “True Americans”—Americanization • Encouraged by native born Americans • Supported by churches and public education • Changing Gender Roles • America allowed immigrant woman more freedom • Arranged marriages were not popular in the U.S. • It was acceptable for women work outside the home • More acceptable for women to be on their own.
Exclusion • The counter attack to assimilation/Americanization • Nativism—native born American prejudice against foreigners • Immigrants were blamed for the “ills of society” • Why? Was this prejudice blind or was it based on who was coming to the U.S.? • Laws tried to curb immigration but failed • Immigration fueled economic growth as a read and cheap source of labor
American Protective Association • Founded by Henry Bowers in 1887 • Stood against Catholic Immigrants • Had over 500,000 members
Immigration Restriction League • Another national organization that stood for strict restriction on immigration • Believed immigrants should be “screened” through literacy tests separating the “desirables” from the “undesirables”
The Urban Landscape Cities stood in contrast: the poor were VERY poor, the rich were VERY rich Small middle class Cities struggled with how to keep the poor and wealthy separated
The Creation of Public Spaces • 1850’s—cities started to be “planned” • Urban Parks • Antidote to urban crowding and congestion • Fredrick Law Olmstead and Calvert Vaux—architects of New York’s Central Park • Believed in “Natural Spaces”
Public Buildings • City Planners, architects, wealthy people, and government officials started advocating public buildings • Libraries, museums, galleries, concert halls, theaters, hospitals, etc. • Wealthy citizens became philanthropic patrons who donated money for public buildings • This came with the immortality of having one’s name and recognition assigned to a building: Carnegie Hall
Housing the Rich • Housing was an issue in Cities—the rich wanted to be away from the poor, the poor couldn’t afford to life far from where they worked, etc. • Growth of Suburbs—modeled after “countryside” • Why? How do the suburbs look like the countryside? • The rich owned houses and buildings, the poor had to rent
Housing the Poor • The Poor could not afford to own so they rented • High demand for scarce space gave a lot of power to landowners • Manhattan Population Density in 1894 • 143 people per acre of land average (304 sqft per person) • 700 people per acre in the slums (64 sqft per person)
Tenements • Multi-family dwellings—usually apartment buildings • Located in the slums • At first tenements were a great improvement for poor people instead of literal shacks • Many were windowless rooms • Little to no plumbing • Privies (toilets) in the basement • Jacob Riis • Author and photographer who documents tenement living • Wrote “How the Other Half Lives” • Sensationalized writing that exploited the plight of the poor.
Urban Transportation • Paved streets opened congestion and allow for quicker, safer travel within cities • Paved Roads • Most were paved with wooden blocks—where we get the term “block” from, meaning a section of a city • Later brick, stone and asphalt
Urban Transportation • Street Cars • Horse drawn cars that ran on tracks were the first public forms of mass transportation • Boston, New York, Chicago, Washington DC, Philadelphia
Urban Transportation • New York City • 1887 • First Elevated Railway • Steam powered
Urban Transportation • 1887 • Boston • First American Subway (not the disgusting sandwich shop…shame on you for eating that…YUCK!)
Urban Transportation • 1880’s • New York • Brooklyn Bridge • Opened the Island of Manhattan to the other burrows of New York • Engineering Marvel
The Skyscraper • Cast iron, steel beams, and elevators allowed for taller buildings (over 5 floors) • 1890’s skyscrapers started to be built (10 or more floors) • Why is this important for cities?
Strains of Urban Life • Urban Life was hard and dangerous due to • Crime • Fire • Disease • Poverty • pollution
Human Waste Problems • Early Efforts at urban sewage disposal frequently • Used open ditches to remove waste • Helped the spread of disease • Polluted the cities fresh water supply • Failed to provide clean conditions
The Urban Political Machines • Urban Political Machines helped newly arrived immigrants adjust to American life • In return these “Bosses” (elected officials) could count on support from voting immigrants • Political bosses were the primary source of welfare for the urban poor. • Goals of the Political Machines • Make money for political bosses (officials) • Provide services to immigrants • Create city jobs for machine supporters • Find jobs for the unemployed
The Rise of Mass Consumption • Mass Consumption—the production and sale of inexpensive everyday items that came about at the end of the 1800’s • Growth of middle class gave rise to mass consumption • Middle class people could afford to buy lots of things in quantity • The most popular mass consumption items were the making and marketing of ready-made clothes • Middle class women were most effected by mass consumption—why?
Patterns of Income and Consumption • Society changed, as did the market place, with the growth of the middle class and their growing income • This lead to • The emergence of Department Stores • The making of large amounts of affordable products • The creation of marketing and advertisement • The rise of chain stores
Department Stores Giant “have everything” destination stores Offered a wide range of diverse products—bras and guns Created a shopping atmosphere of excitement Made shopping an activity and glamorous Large quantities of goods lowered prices
Popular Culture in the late 1800’s • Popular forms of entertainment • Vaudeville • Musical comedy • Movies—silent movies • Professional baseball • Theatre • Movies became the first truly universal mass-entertainment medium which reached all over the country and all levels of society • Why?
Yellow Journalism A popular style of journalism that was popular in the early 1900’s that used a sensational, lurid style of reporting.
Art in the early 1900’s Authors like Stephen Crane and Theodore Dreiser wrote very popular novels about the mistreatment of the poor in urban industrial society. Artists began painting realistic scenes of ordinary life
Education in the Early 1900’s • Industrialization created a need for specialized skills and scientific knowledge, the educational system answered these needs through • Growth of women’s colleges • Rise in free public education • An increase in the number of colleges and universities • Growth of universities in western states
Women in the early 1900’s • Graduates of Women’s colleges formed the first “intellectual” women’s group who… • Worked together for reform (divorce laws, suffrage, etc.) • Frequently married much later in life • Were career based instead of family based • Became faculty in women’s colleges • Started by philanthropic institutions | <urn:uuid:3014179e-3af2-440e-8f05-e42dab1d96e4> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://fr.slideserve.com/nicole/the-great-city-powerpoint-ppt-presentation | 2023-09-27T12:52:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.93587 | 1,959 |
La Maison du Métayer
An unique way to enjoy the French "Art de vivre"
and and the spirit of Frais Vallon in Périgord.
This XVII th century vacation rental for two people is classified 4 stars. It is ideally located in a dead-end alleyway at the heart of the village of Lamonzie-Montastruc, a 15 minutes’ drive from Bergerac and its international airport. The former sharecropper’s house sits (very privately) on the grounds of the Manor house Frais Vallon. It is the perfect starting point to discover Périgord, its history, its cuisine, and its wines (close by the vineyards of Pécharmant and Monbazillac). The house, witness of a rich past, has been recently renovated in a way preserving its authenticity. The sharecropper of the domain and his family lived in this house until recently.
The swimming pool and the surrounding gardens are for the exclusive use of the renters.
No prices were found for this unit for these dates

Today – 2nd of July 2021 – marks eight years since the first post on Frankly Wines!
In May 2015 I corralled fellow members of DNS Wineclub and some fellow wine bloggers from Dublin into attending a public tasting at Honest 2 Goodness in Glasnevin, Dublin. During a memorable evening of great wines and great company, Paddy from The vine Inspiration posited that not all of us present would still be writing in a year or two’s time.
From our original gang of five wine bloggers I am the only one to still be posting regularly. Lots has happened in those eight years…life just takes over sometimes, including “proper” jobs and children (we have gone from a total of 3 kids between us in 2013 to now having 12! Perhaps a parenting blog might have been more appropriate…)
I try to strike a balance on Frankly Wines between information, entertainment and accessibility. Where possible I like to use a map to explain where a particular wine region on winery is located because location is one of the key things to understanding most wines (plus I love maps…)
Above all they have been fun to write! I never thought of myself as a writer before starting Frankly Wines, although I know my English is excellent [/humblebrag], but passion conquers everything. One thing I try to do with every article is improve my knowledge with the research I do in advance of actually writing
This is the 452nd post on Frankly Wines, but not all have been written by me. I have had very generous guest posters for three different series:
- Valentines’ Day Wines (2015)
- Wines for Xmas (2017)
- Wine + Music Matching (2020)
Thanks again to all those who have contributed over the years.
Easily the most popular theme – in terms of views – across my posts has been wines from Supermarket Lidl. This is undoubtedly due to the fact that they are an international outfit and so people search for reviews of their wines in many countries. Of course, it helps that I have a good relationship with Lidl Ireland and receive plenty of samples from them to write about.
The second most popular theme is my (admittedly irregular) Top 10 posts; Top 10 Reds of the year, Top 10 Value Whites, etc. While they might seem like clickbait, they are a genuine attempt to list wines (out of the hundreds or thousands that I might taste in a year) that most impressed me.
An older standalone post that has resurged in popularity over the past few years is Who’s The Dada, a post from 2017 which ended up being the most popular overall of 2020. I don’t know why this post became so popular, though it is about a very commercial and high selling wine, but it appears as the #4 on Google results for “Dada Wine Review”. For 2021, a new rival popular wine post has emerged: 19 Crimes Red.
Of course I would love for articles on wines from boutique and specialist importers to be more popular, but as the biggest source of views on my page is through search engines it is the popular wines that will tend to wine out.

Turnips and dill make a great flavor combination! This hearty Lentil Soup contains lots of veggies and will be perfect on a winter day. https://www.thesophisticatedcaveman.com/lentil-soup-with-turnips-and-dill/
A jar of pickled jalapenos doesn’t last long in my house! I add them to sandwiches, tacos, salads, soups and chili! This recipe makes enough for a couple jars. Pickles make a great homemade gift, or save them to warm yourself up on a cold winter’s day! https://www.mexicanplease.com/taqueria-style-pickled-jalapenos-carrots/
Start your mornings with a cup of immunity! Turmeric and Lemon make a healthy elixir which is very beneficial first thing in the morning. This healing beverage can reduce inflammation, improve digestion and fight infection. Bring a cup of water over high heat and remove just before boiling. Add sliced or grated fresh turmeric root, juice of half a lemon, and a touch of natural sweetener, if you wish (I recommend our Pure Cane Syrup or honey). | <urn:uuid:bd4cd325-2553-4200-b0d0-07e2b5bdb09a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://frogsongorganics.com/fall-csa-week-10/ | 2023-09-27T11:05:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.843612 | 399 |
Farming is a broad word and will probably bring a lot of different images to mind depending on the person. And while it’s true that as long as there have been people, there have been farmers, farming also lives on the cutting edge of technological innovation. This is perhaps nowhere more apparent than in the world of seed treatment. And while coating seeds to boost their chance of success isn’t necessarily new, the precision and automation with which it’s now done is truly remarkable.
When it comes to something like seed treatment, consistency and reliability is key. The fastest or biggest treatment system in the world is no good if it doesn’t produce dependable results. It’s important enough that we’ve partnered with some of the best seed treatment system manufacturers in the industry: USC, Meridian Manufacturing, and Schuld/Bushnell, so we can guarantee our customers get the product and the results they’re looking for. From tabletop to larger capacity to commercial options to portable treaters, we’ve got every shape and size of treater you might need.
As automation has become more sophisticated, so have we. Most sites we work on now involve setting up automated seed treatment systems, which is crucial to getting consistent results time and time again.

By William J. Furney
A “monsoon on steroids”. One-third of the country under water. Millions homeless, their lives and livelihoods destroyed. Vital infrastructure wiped out. A death toll over 1,200 as more than 33 million people are affected by the raging torrents of floods. Damage to property: at least $10 billion.
The extreme flooding devastating Pakistan follows unusually high temperatures in the region during the summer months and is compounded by melting glaciers that caused the Indus River to burst its banks and turn areas of southeastern Sindh Province into a massive flood-zone spanning around 100km wide.
“Pakistan is awash in suffering,” United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in a video message this week. “The Pakistani people are facing a monsoon on steroids — the relentless impact of epochal levels of rain and flooding,” he said, as he called for donations to raise $160 million to provide 5.2 million Pakistanis with food, healthcare and education. And he warned, separately, that the disaster happening in the South Asian nation could strike anywhere around the world.
It is, after all, global warming, caused by burning fossils fuels and methane and other emissions that trap heat in the atmosphere and lead to severe weather. The evidence is all around us, from storms that keep getting stronger to soaring temperatures around the world — soggy Britain recorded its highest ever temperature in July: 40.3°C.
“The widespread nature of the heat meant that the average maximum temperature across the whole of the UK exceeded 30°C for the first time and the UK had its two hottest days on record by this measurement, in a series that goes back to 1960,” the Met Office said.
The same blistering heat was felt all over Europe and in the United States. If this and past years are anything to go by, the world is certainly heating up and, in the process, affecting climate patterns.
Spain suffered from rolling heatwaves this summer, and experts predict the mercury will keep edging up. Mariano Barriendos, a modern history professor and climate change professor at the University of Barcelona, says the evidence points to more frequent heatwaves in Spain, in an upwards trend that’s unlikely to change.
“It is relatively usual for a hot air mass to enter the peninsula from the Sahara Desert. What is worrying is that heatwaves are happening more often,” he told the AFP news agency in August.
What of the naysayers, the climate deniers who insist tales of a heating climate due to human activity are all a hoax, a left-wing agenda designed to hurt the global economy that’s so reliant on oil and industry? They, according to available data, have their heads stuck in the sand, ostrich-style, and have agendas of their own (big business). Others, like the sheepy followers of certain right-wing, blinkered politicians who may be in thrall to giant corporations, just accept whatever they’re told, true or not. For these lemmings, facts do not matter.
“It is undeniable that human activities have produced the atmospheric gases that have trapped more of the Sun’s energy in the Earth system,” says the US space agency NASA, which has captured vast amounts of data about our planet via its satellites. “This extra energy has warmed the atmosphere, ocean and land, and widespread and rapid changes in the atmosphere, ocean, cryosphere and biosphere have occurred.”
Presenting “unequivocal evidence that Earth is warming at an unprecedented rate”, driven primarily by human activity, NASA says current levels of warming are occuring at a rate not seen in the past 10,000 years and that from “global temperature rise to melting ice sheets, the evidence of a warming planet abounds”.
And it points to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a UN body, that found: “Since systematic scientific assessments began in the 1970s, the influence of human activity on the warming of the climate system has evolved from theory to established fact.”
The UN agency adds: “Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and since the 1950s, many of the observed changes are unprecedented over decades to millennia. The atmosphere and ocean have warmed, the amounts of snow and ice have diminished, sea level has risen and the concentrations of greenhouse gases have increased.”
In other words, there is no denying that the Earth is hotting up because of what we’re doing, whether it’s driving your car, eating a meat-and-dairy based diet or jetting off on a sun holiday. Climate deniers are therefore deluded, and deserve to be ridiculed.
And so the urgent point is: What do we do about it? Big talking shops on climate change — the most recent in Scotland, last October — produce little other than a jolly for those in attendance: free flights from around the world, slap-up meals and luxury hotels. On the other end of the scale, individual responsibility also falls flat, with most people unwilling to change their comfortable ways to help protect the planet, now and for all the generations to come.
It’s global apathy that won’t change as the next natural disaster befalls a nation. Like in the Meryl Streep film Don’t Look Up, we just do not want to know, even as the planet is hurtling towards cataclysmic annihilation.

As we think about World Oceans Day and what to do to celebrate the ocean, what do we think about “celebrating”? Science tells us that we have lost more habitat and species in the last ten years than the last 100 years, we have heated our planet up to a tipping point past which if we don’t stop it will not be habitable here for vertebrates and life as we know it, and we have collectively put so much plastic in the ocean it numbers more in pieces than there are fish.
So what do we celebrate? I want to challenge you to NOT CELEBRATE, but ACT. More important than festival going, animal species posting, or nature enjoying is ACTION.
Celebrate by taking actions to SAVE ISLANDS, WETLANDS, and COASTAL PRAIRIES and SYSTEMS. Our shore-lined wetlands are the filters for our ocean.
JOIN US AND TAKE ACTION
Help us save 120 acres of land to add to the Coastal Heritage Preserve this World Oceans Day. You can be a part of this place by contributing $10 and becoming One In A Million! EVERY DOLLAR you donate leverages $26.12, right now!!!!!! Imagine how any action could be more impactful, more local, and more important to wildlife.
In the next 45 days, Artist Boat will be working to close on two pieces of land to protect FOREVER on West Galveston Island. Each parcel is a $1,356,000 effort, meaning to save 120 acres here costs $2,712,000. We have raised the following funds for these 120 acres:
- $2 million dollars is from grants with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department,
- $150,000 is from The Brown Foundation,
- $125,000 is from the Galveston Bay Estuary Program,
- $30,000 is from the Gulf Coast Bird Observatory,
- $32,000 is from the Galveston Bay Foundation,
- $16,000 is from the Great Texas Birding Classic,
- $67,250 is from local foundations and donors that committed to give if the grant was awarded over two years ago,
- $223,750 through individuals who designated donations to the Coastal Heritage Preserve, the new Be One In A Million Campaign, and small grants, and
- and $50,000 is from the Galveston Preserve at West Beach.
This totals $611,950 in matching funds toward this effort to match the $2 Million in grants.
Currently, we have about $50,000 remaining to raise to purchase these 120 acres to bring the Preserve to 820 acres of the visioned 1,400 acres from bay to beach on Galveston Island.
The Coastal Heritage Preserve is enjoyed by thousands of middle schoolers annually in our kayak and habitat restoration adventure programs and the public is welcomed at the Oppenheimer Bird Observatory. As the Preserve grows, we dream of installing an oak mott and ADA trails and piers to wetlands, a three-mile trail hike and bike trail from 8-mile road to 11-mile road, and one day a nationally significant Gulf Coast Environmental Education Center.
You are critical, and no donation is too small or too big because all are equal in heart! Become One In A Million and join our effort. Your donation protects habitats for over 315 species of birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and fish that have been identified in the Coastal Heritage Preserve and lands we will save. Many of you have already helped save 700 acres!! We have more to do!

For the third consecutive week the SEC honored an Alabama player, but this week it selected two of them.
On Monday, the league selected Derrick Henry to be the offensive player of the week for the third time this year after he rushed a career high 32 times for a career high 236 yards in Alabama’s 41-23 victory over No. 9 Texas A&M.
Henry also picked up two rushing touchdowns to extend his streak of consecutive games with a rushing touchdown to 12. He is the first Alabama running back to rush for more than 200 yards since former Alabama running back Trent Richardson did so in 2011.
Minkah Fitzpatrick was selected to be the Southeastern Conference Freshman Player of the week after he returned two interceptions for a total of 88 yards and two scores. He is the only Alabama player to record two pick sixes in one game.
Fitzpatrick also recorded two solo tackles and was recognized as the Walter Camp National Defensive Player of the Week.

Blade tomes are built for high-speed offensive mages, helping them deal extraordinary amounts of damage in a single turn with the correct support. Blade tomes are some of the strongest weapons in the game, but rely on much more support than normal. These weapons have one crucial detail, that is, the extra damage applied by the tome is considered to be typeless damage. That makes these weapons marginally stronger vs. colors the unit is weaker to. The huge damage output from Blade tomes is one of the true metagame definers, with many teams choosing to run inexpensive but powerful teams based around users of the skill.
Blade tomes are offensive in nature, and rely mostly on the user’s attack and speed stats. Two skills commonly seen with these weapons are Life or Death and Desperation. Under the Desperation threshold, their potential for destruction is enormous, able to KO even units who resist if they get doubled. However, the most import skills for Blade tome users are Hone/Fortify skills. These provide the buffs required to power up the skill user. Try and have a way to buff all four stats within your team, but remember the user cannot buff themselves. These tomes are popular with Cavalry and Flier teams, thanks to their unique class buffs which grant +6 to two stats. This is perhaps the deadliest way to use the skill, due to the unique movement options of these units. If you choose to run Desperation, you can also run Reciprocal Aid or Ardent Sacrifice to get within HP range.
The lack of real weaknesses makes these tomes very potent. They come with one straight drawback: the user will charge their special move one turn slower than normal. This makes these weapons unsuitable for long duels, as opponents will likely charge their special before you do. In the hands of the AI this skill cannot be used to it’s full potential. They will likely be unable to activate Desperation before the unit is KO’d. Powerful colorless attackers are the best answer to Blade tomes, able to score quick KO’s from range and retreat with the help of an ally. | <urn:uuid:64455231-4bda-4363-87be-50631481ee75> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://gamepress.gg/feheroes/weapon-skills/raudrblade | 2023-09-27T11:41:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.947139 | 508 |
Poker is a card game played between two or more people. It has many different forms but most involve the same basic rules. The object of the game is to make a winning hand by betting on your cards. The highest-ranking hands win the pot, which is the sum of all bets in a single deal. A high-ranking poker hand can be made with any combination of five cards, but a pair is usually the best. The poker game is also a good way to learn the basic principles of money management.
The most important thing to remember is to play poker only when you are in a good mood. Poker is a stressful game that can easily drain your emotional energy. If you are feeling bored or frustrated, it is a good idea to stop playing and try something else. This will help you keep your emotions in check and focus on the game more effectively.
When you are in a good mood, it is easier to concentrate on the strategy of poker and improve your chances of making money. You will be more likely to avoid mistakes and make the right decisions at the table. In addition, you will be able to read your opponents better and understand their tendencies and style of play.
Another important skill that you will learn from poker is how to read the board and know what your odds are of making a strong poker hand. This is a very important skill that will allow you to make the best decision in any situation. It is especially important when you are bluffing because it can be difficult to conceal the strength of your poker hand from other players.
There are several online resources that offer tutorials on how to play poker and tips for improving your game. These websites provide information about the different types of poker, betting rules and strategy. They also have practice hands that you can use to test out your knowledge.
One of the most important skills that you will learn from poker is patience. This is a crucial skill that will help you in many situations, both at the poker tables and in your life. It is essential to be patient in poker because you will often have to wait for a good hand or a good opportunity. This can be frustrating, but it is necessary if you want to become a winning poker player.
Poker is a complex game that involves many mathematical and psychological elements. It is one of the most challenging games to master, but it can also be incredibly rewarding. It can teach you many valuable lessons about how to deal with other people and how to manage your own emotions. It is also a great way to learn the risk vs reward principle, which can be applied in many other situations, both professional and personal. For these reasons, poker is a useful game to learn, regardless of whether you are just learning the basics or want to take your game to the next level. | <urn:uuid:ff7c699e-1df3-406e-8255-2be6e2849252> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://gamewellfire.com/important-things-you-will-learn-from-poker/ | 2023-09-27T12:26:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.97402 | 565 |
Silent Hill is back with Bloober Team working on a remake of the critically acclaimed Silent Hill 2. How that will ultimately pan out remains to be seen, but it’s looking gorgeous. It’s also working on a new survival horror IP published by Private Division, which isn’t out until 2025, but maybe we’ll see an announcement before the year is out.
In the meantime, Bloober Team, along with Anshar Studios, has…Layers of Fear. You’re probably wondering if this is the same as the 2016 first-person psychological horror title, which brought more attention to Bloober Team’s potential (for better or worse). With a release date of June 15th, what can fans expect? What are some differences between it and the first game in the series? Here are 11 of the biggest changes you should know about.
Includes Layers of Fear 1 and 2
Contrary to belief, this isn’t just a remake of 2016’s Layers of Fear. It includes remade versions of Layers of Fear 1 with its Inheritance DLC and Layers of Fear 2. The first game stars the Artist, who ventures through a mansion in the Victorian era to complete his masterpiece and slowly loses his grip on reality. The Inheritance DLC is from the perspective of his daughter, who attempts to make sense of her father’s madness.
Layers of Fear 2 stars the Actor on an ocean liner, following the instructions of the mysterious Director. As you explore the vessel, acting out your part, things aren’t as they seem, and more horrors become apparent. So essentially, you’re getting two games (and some DLC) for the price of one. Sort of.
The Writer and The Lighthouse
Is Layers of Fear just a compilation of the first two games with improved visuals? Well, yes, but there is something deeper going on with the story.
When the game starts, you play as The Writer, who ventures to a strange and decrepit Lighthouse, hints of a troubled past following her. A mysterious benefactor that insists she writes as soon as she arrives is behind the accommodation. As she explores the Lighthouse, The Writer discovers a portrait, one that briefly transforms into The Rat Queen (who appeared in both games). How does everything tie together? It seems the key lies with The Writer.
Gameplay-wise, Bloober Team promises more interactivity and brand-new mechanics while ensuring that the stories “blend seamlessly.” One such mechanic is a new lamp in the first Layers of Fear. As seen in the recent demo, it can burn away shadowy parts of the environment and even stun the ghostly visage of his wife long enough to get away. What new mechanics the sequel will offer remain to be seen.
The Final Note DLC
Along with The Lighthouse, the most intriguing new piece of content is The Final Note DLC. It features the Artist’s Wife as the protagonist and provides more information on the family and how she became his muse. The developer says it may “change” how players see the first game’s characters, so take that as you will, but there’s also the question of how her story ties into The Lighthouse and The Writer.
Exclusive to Current-Gen Platforms
While it’s easy to dismiss this as a cash grab, recycling old content and sprinkling in some new stuff for the sake of a new game, viewing Layers of Fear as a series remake isn’t all that bad. The first two games are only available on PC, Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch. Meanwhile, the 2023 title is exclusive to Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC (sorry, Switch players). If you’ve ever wanted to experience either game in 4K, it’s certainly an attractive option.
That current-gen console exclusively also comes in handy on PlayStation 5. According to WCCF Tech’s preview, Layers of Fear supports haptic feedback on DualSense. How exactly it’s used and whether the PC version will get the same DualSense support is unknown. Still, score a point for PlayStation owners.
Ray Tracing, HDR and Niagara Effects
In addition to 4K resolution support, Layers of Fear implements ray tracing and high dynamic range lighting. The fires will glow much more beautifully; the ocean waves will crash much more magnificently; and the Lighthouse will…well, it’ll be there. All jokes aside, Layers of Fear offers more detailed textures, Niagara effects for real-time particle effects and more complex transitions, providing a significant bump in visual and presentation quality over the original releases.
Unreal Engine 5
At the time, Layers of Fear (2016) was noteworthy for its visuals, especially since it was developed on Unity. However, Bloober Team began working on Unreal Engine 4 for subsequent projects, starting with Observer. Layers of Fear 2, Blair Witch and The Medium would also use the same engine. However, with Layers of Fear (2023), Bloober Team is utilizing Unreal Engine 5, which helps make all the new graphical bells and whistles possible. Given that it’s using the same engine for Silent Hill 2 Remake, it makes sense to take advantage of that experience.
Another advantage of Unreal Engine 5 is Lumen, which offers dynamic global illumination. While Unreal Engine 4 supported screen space global illumination and even ray tracing global illumination (which wasn’t available in Layers of Fear 2), they didn’t quite gel with the engine’s other features. With Unreal Engine 5, diffused indirect lighting is available, resulting in light bouncing off surfaces and diffusing their color onto other areas.
There’s potential for limitless diffuse bounces, more natural sky lighting and shadows, and full-resolution shading for better-performing indirect lighting. Some hefty hardware is required to run all of this at the highest possible settings, and how well Bloober Team implements it all remains to be seen. Still, there should be a significant jump in fidelity.
So now for the big question, at least for those on PC – what hardware do you need to run all this? First, you’ll need 20 GB of installation space, DirectX 12 with Shader Model 6, and Windows 10 64-bit.
The Minimum requirements include an Intel Core-i5 4690 or AMD Ryzen 3 1200, 8 GB of RAM and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 3 GB or AMD Radeon RX 580 4 GB. It delivers a measly 30 FPS at 1080p and Low settings.
Recommended requirements include Core i7 8700K or Ryzen 5 3600, 12 GB RAM and a GeForce GTX 1070 8 GB. This delivers 1080/60 FPS at High settings, so overall, not bad. However, an SSD is recommended from this point on. Those interested in ray tracing need a Core i7 9700K or Ryzen 7 3700X, 16 GB RAM and an Nvidia RTX 2070 8 GB or AMD RX 6800-XT. An SSD M.2 is also recommended, and this delivers ray tracing at high settings, 1080p and 60 FPS.
Finally, for ray tracing at 2160p/60 FPS (balanced for TSR), a Core i7 9700K or Ryzen 7 3700X, 16 GB of RAM Core i7 9700K or Ryzen 7 3700X, an RTX 3080 Ti 12 GB and an M.2 SSD is required. The kicker? These requirements are all balanced for Temporal Super Resolution or TSR, an upscaling technology for Unreal Engine that can run on any GPU. What will performance be like without it? We’ll have to wait and see, unfortunately.
The original game offered about four hours of playtime for the story, which could go up to 10 hours for every ending. The Inheritance DLC is about three hours long for completionists. Layers of Fear 2 took about five hours to complete and required ten hours to get each ending.
Since Layers of Fear combines them and adds new content, it should result in a significantly longer experience. There’s no guarantee that it includes every scene from the previous games, and we don’t know how long The Final Note or The Lighthouse story is, so keep that in mind before jumping in. | <urn:uuid:27a94a49-6585-41da-b2c2-97dfc1e83e39> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://gamingbolt.com/layers-of-fear-11-new-details-to-know-before-you-purchase | 2023-09-27T11:30:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.928984 | 1,764 |

After completing the specialized training, the guardian ad litem is certified to be a GAL for that type of case.
Guardian ad Litems for Family Law, Divorce, Juvenile Law, & Adult Protection in Milwaukee
When is a guardian ad litem necessary? A court may appoint a guardian ad litem whenever the court must determine something in the best interests of a child. Specifically, judges frequently appoint a GAL in divorce and other family law matters (including paternity cases). Additionally, a judge will often appoint a guardian ad litem in children’s court, probate court, and civil cases involving settlements to a child.
When is a guardian ad litem involved to decide placement or custody issues?
Wisconsin courts use guardian ad litem lawyers in divorce, juvenile, or paternity cases where custody or placement is at issue. In juvenile court cases specifically, a judge often involves a guardian ad litem when someone seeks to remove a child from a home, or return a child to a home, following an allegation of abuse or neglect. This scenario often arises in children’s court CHIPS, JIPS and TPR cases.
What other situations cause a court to appoint a guardian ad litem?
A judge may also appoint a guardian ad litem in children’s court when the state prosecutes a young child for a delinquency. Similarly, a civil court may require a guardian ad litem review a potential settlement when the case involves a child. Specifically, judges ask a guardian ad litem’s input before approving a settlement for a child in a civil case. Finally, probate courts must appoint a GAL for vulnerable juveniles or adults in certain circumstances. Specifically, probate judges appoint a guardian ad litem when someone petitions a guardianship. Probate judges also appoint a guardian ad litem for review of protective placement or services orders.

What is a guardian ad litem?
A Guardian ad litem (GAL) is an attorney, licensed to practice law in Wisconsin. Specifically, the GAL’s role is to represent the best interests of the ward. The ward is the child or vulnerable adult for whom the guardian ad litem has been appointed.
The guardian ad litem determines what is in the ward’s best interest by conducting an independent investigation. To this end, the GAL investigates the facts and participates in negotiations. When a case goes to court, the GAL offers recommendations to the judge on the issues affecting their ward. For example, when the ward is a child in family court, the guardian ad litem’s recommendation includes an opinion on legal custody and placement. However, the GAL does not have any of the rights or duties of a parent or general guardian. Similarly, the GAL’s involvement also includes the financial issues of a case when those issues affect the ward. For example, in a divorce or paternity case the guardian ad litem will opine on child support and child expenses.
Sometimes people incorrectly refer to a guardian ad litem as the children’s attorney. However, the GAL’s role, in particular, is to advocate for the best interests of the children. For this reason, the guardian ad litem’s role may not be the same as advocating for what the children want.
What determines whether a GAL becomes involved in a case?
Some cases require the involvement of a guardian ad litem. For example, situations that require the involvement of a guardian ad litem in Wisconsin, such as:
- guardianship petitions
- review of protective placement and services in guardianship matters
- young juveniles in delinquency matters
- CHIPS cases
- TPR cases.
Furthermore, a guardian ad litem attorney in Wisconsin may become involved in civil cases that involve a monetary award to a juvenile, or in family court cases. For example, when parents cannot agree on custody or placement in family court, the court must appoint a GAL. However, in Wisconsin family court, the parents must first try mediation to reach an agreement, unless the court waives that requirement. If the parties do not reach an agreement, the court will appoint a GAL to assist the court in deciding custody or placement. Similarly, the court will also appoint a GAL if the court has special concern for the welfare of a minor child.
Above all, a judge can appoint a guardian ad litem in Wisconsin any time in the proceeding when the best interests of the children are at issue. An exception to the appointment of a GAL in family court placement and custody disputes is in some modification proceedings. Specifically, there is an exception if the proposed modification would not substantially alter the placement times. In that situation, in particular, the court may find that a GAL would not assist it in making its orders.
How is a GAL appointed?
A court appoints a guardian ad litem. A guardian ad litem may be appointed by, for example, the probate court, family court commissioner or a judge. In family court, a guardian ad litem is usually appointed upon request of one of the parents. The procedure for appointing a guardian ad litem varies by county. Some counties have lists of attorneys who take GAL appointments. In contrast, other counties have contracts with specific attorneys for GAL appointments. In rarer cases, such as monetary awards to juveniles in a civil case, the parties may request the appointment of a particular guardian ad litem. Here is a form to request the appointment of a guardian ad litem.
What is the GAL’s role?
In Wisconsin family cases, the GAL’s role is specifically to represent the best interests of the child or children. To represent the best interests of the children, the GAL may do many things. A GAL may, for example:
- negotiate settlements
- conduct formal and informal discovery
- hire experts
- interview witnesses
- investigate whether there has been violence or abuse between parents
- comment on proposed parenting plans or any stipulation or mediation agreement reached by the parties
- participate in all court proceedings
Either party may request a status hearing before the court on the actions taken or work performed by the guardian ad litem any time after 120 days from the GAL’s appointment.
Will the GAL meet with my child and me?
The guardian ad litem will meet with both parents. Usually the guardian ad litem with meet with both parents separately in the GAL’s office. The guardian ad litem will also generally meet with your child. The guardian ad litem will decide when and where to meet with your child. Your child’s meeting with their guardian ad litem could be in the GAL’s office, each parent’s home, or another location.
How does the GAL investigate issues that affect my child?
The guardian ad litem an attorney in Wisconsin who investigates facts that are relevant to the issues in your case. In particular, much of the investigation is called informal discovery. The GAL conducts informal discovery through interviews with each parent, the child, or other people with significant information.
The GAL may seek a release authorizing the GAL to review relevant records. Common records a GAL may review, for example, include school, medical, or mental health records. Thereafter, the GAL may ask other experts to provide input or future testimony regarding the case. Other experts the GAL may use include, for example, a social worker or a psychologist. Similarly, if alcohol or drug problems exist, the guardian ad litem may ask a parent to participate in screening tests. The guardian ad litem may also ask the judge to order such AODA assessments.
Finally, the GAL also may use formal discovery to assist in the investigation. Formal discovery could include interrogatories, requests for document production, or conducting depositions.
What factors does the GAL consider in the investigation?
A guardian ad litem must consider all the facts to properly investigate and develop sufficient input for the court’s consideration. In particular, the guardian ad litem must consider the following legal factors:
- the wishes of your child and both parents;
- whether a parent has engaged in a pattern or serious incident of violence between parents;
- the safety and well-being of the child and the safety of the parent who was the victim of the battery or abuse;
- your child’s interaction and relationship with you and other family members;
- the amount and quality of time you have spent with your child in the past;
- any necessary and reasonable custodial and life-style changes you propose to make to spend time with your child in the future;
- your child’s adjustment to home, school, religion, and community;
- your child’s age and developmental and educational needs at various ages;
- the mental or physical health of a parent, the child, or other person living in the proposed custodial household;
- the need for regularly occurring and meaningful placement to provide predictability and stability for your child;
- availability of childcare services;
- the cooperation and communication between parents and whether either one unreasonably refuses to cooperate or communicate with the other;
- each parent’s ability to support the other parent’s relationship with the child and the likelihood a parent will interfere in the other parent’s continuing relationship with the child;
- any physical abuse or problems with alcohol or drugs; the reports of appropriate professionals;
- other significant factors that would affect your child’s well-being.
What happens when the GAL completes the investigation?
After the investigation, the GAL will generally give the parents or attorneys a preliminary summary of the GAL’s recommendation. However, the guardian ad litem’s input could change depending on additional evidence or facts that become uncovered. Generally, the parents’ attorneys will discuss the guardian ad litem’s preliminary recommendations with their clients. Most often, the parties exchange settlement proposals and resolve the case by agreement. If the parents cannot agree, the case will proceed to trial before the judge. Then, the judge will consider the evidence presented and the GAL’s recommendation, before making the final decision.
Who pays for the GAL?
The judge decides who pays for the guardian ad litem’s services. Specifically, the requirements for deciding who will pay vary from county to county. Generally, each parent is responsible for one-half of the guardian ad litem’s total costs. The GAL’s costs include the GAL’s legal fees and investigation costs, including also tests and experts. Often the court requires parents to pay an initial deposit and periodic payments to the GAL during the case. If the judge decides the parents are unable to pay for the GAL’s services immediately, the guardian ad litem still gets paid. In that circumstance, the judge may have the county pay the guardian ad litem’s bill. However, the parents still are responsible for the guardian ad litem fees. If the county pays initially, the county may require the parents to reimburse the county.
Can I change GALs?
Very limited circumstances exist in which a judge would assign a new guardian ad litem to your case. Disagreement with the GAL’s recommendations is not a valid reason to request removal. Only the judge can remove a guardian ad litem in Wisconsin.
How long will the GAL be involved in my case?
Under Wisconsin law, the guardian ad litem serves in a case until it is over. The case is over when either of two things happens. Option one, the parents reach a written agreement resolving the issues and the judge approves it. Option two, there is a hearing and the judge decides the case. However, the judge can discharge the guardian ad litem before the case is over if the GAL is no longer necessary. Similarly, if the parties appeal the case, the GAL’s involvement continues in the appeal process unless the court orders otherwise. Furthermore, if someone files a new motion in the case in the future, the judge may reappoint the same or a different GAL.

Hello everyone! My name is Juliane Siu and I’m honoured to be a contributor to the Gastrofork blog. Dee and I met in 2011 when I interned for Popcorn. With a shared interest in scrumptious eats, we hit it off and the rest is history. I’m going to kick off my first post with my new favourite cookbook and blog.
A co-worker and I were chatting about baked goods one day and she mentioned that when she didn’t have time to whip up an elaborate cake, she baked something called “Chocolate Stout Cake” by Smitten Kitchen. Up until then, I never really turned to the same food blogs over again to find recipes. If I wanted to make something, I’d google it and use the easiest looking recipe that required the least amount of ingredients.
Out of curiosity and with a holiday dinner coming up, I googled ‘Smitten Kitchen’ and ‘chocolate stout cake.’ It popped up in the search results so I investigated further. Having been trained at Dubrulle International Culinary & Hotel Institute with a Pastry & Desserts Diploma, the cake looked fairly easy to make. And so the baking began. What can I say? My family and I were completely smitten with the rich, moist chocolate cake drizzled with ganache. I made a second cake and shared it with fellow co-workers the same week.
The brainchild of Deb Perelman, I became obsessed with the Smitten Kitchen blog. Perelman’s mandate is that she only makes and posts recipes that an everyday cook can make. After all, she is a mom to a toddler, and what mother has the time to spend hours slaving in the kitchen?
Not only are her hundreds of recipes easy to make, they’re gorgeously photographed as well. What’s unique about her blog is that each recipe comes with the story that inspired it. She also recounts what she’s made in previous years at the very time she publishes a new post. How cool is that? So far, I’ve made five recipes and repeated them several times. I purchased the cookbook last week and am still poring over the beautiful pages.
Having not worked in the culinary industry for years, I’m terribly out of practice as a pastry cook. But after whipping up Smitten Kitchen’s recipes and receiving ‘oohs and aahs’ from family and friends as they devour every crumb, it made me realized I never lost that baking touch. | <urn:uuid:57fc8f4e-2118-4b9a-98c2-fab310733c00> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://gastrofork.ca/2014/08/new-favourite-cookbook-blog-smitten-kitchen/ | 2023-09-27T12:30:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.971067 | 547 |
I gotta say, the last couple weeks of May have always been an invigorating time for me.
Personally, it signals the beginning of summer and all of the warm weather I’ve been craving since October. We get to trade overcoats for T-shirts, and long pants for shorts, and I start living by the adage, “Sun’s Out Guns Out”.
This year however has fostered a different kind of excitement. The GBA’s second conference of 2022, themed around Blockchain and Sustainable Economic Growth, happens during the last week before Memorial Day and will be a great opportunity to connect with members of the Healthcare Working Group.
Several members of the GBA HWG will be presenters and keynote speakers during the event (including Dr. Ann Ingraham from Exponential Health Tech Advisors, Maria Esquela from Enable Alliance, and Pradeep Goel from Solve.Care) sharing their perspectives and experiences with blockchain adoption in the healthcare space.
I’ll be in attendance as well, promoting some of the cool projects the HWG is working on now, and soliciting feedback from anyone who wants to vibe with me about the Blockchain Ethical Design Framework for Healthcare White Paper, the future of healthcare and blockchain technology, data privacy and ownership, or the fact that summertime is finally here and we get to be around each other without a sneeze guard. For the most part.
If you’re in attendance at the conference at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington DC, May 25th through the 27th, please come say hi!
Hope to see you there… | <urn:uuid:18b62276-886f-42f8-9077-f7be7f6ca0ce> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://gbaglobal.org/blog/2022/05/23/healthcare-working-group-current-events-connect-with-us-at-the-blockchain-sustainable-economic-growth-conference-may-25th-27th-in-washington-dc/ | 2023-09-27T11:05:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.94033 | 338 |

Navigating the world of business is like traversing an ocean – vast, diverse, and full of unexpected challenges. However, the journey becomes more manageable with a trusty compass, and what better guide than the wisdom encapsulated in the top business books? Today, let’s unpack the treasure chest of these books, revealing 15 compelling themes that form the DNA of entrepreneurial success.
1. Value of Purpose and Vision
Books such as ‘Start With Why’ and ‘Zero to One’ underscore the significance of having a robust purpose and vision for your enterprise. Let’s consider SpaceX. Elon Musk’s vision isn’t just to manufacture and launch rockets; it’s to make human life multiplanetary. This vision fuels every decision and project at the company. Similarly, Disney’s vision isn’t about being the biggest entertainment company but creating universal joy and sparking imaginations worldwide. These visions guide their actions and inspire others to join their cause.
2. Power of Persistence
Persistence shines in ‘The Hard Thing About Hard Things’ and ‘Think and Grow Rich.’ Take JK Rowling, for instance. Numerous publishers rejected her manuscript for Harry Potter, but she persisted. Today, it’s a global phenomenon. Equally compelling is Thomas Edison’s story. His persistent experiments, despite multiple failures, led to the invention of the light bulb. Both examples emphasize that success often comes to those who persist against the odds.
3. Importance of People Skills
Books like ‘How to Win Friends and Influence People’ and ‘Never Eat Alone’ value people skills. Steve Jobs, despite his reputation for being difficult, had a charismatic personality that attracted talent and convinced people to buy into his vision. Alternatively, Oprah Winfrey’s empathetic and authentic interviewing style has made her one of the most influential people in the world. Both illustrate the importance of people skills in achieving success.
4. Necessity of Innovation
‘Innovator’s Dilemma’ and ‘Creativity, Inc.’ stress the importance of innovation. Consider the transformational change that the iPhone brought to the world of mobile devices. Similarly, Netflix’s innovative approach to content distribution disrupted the traditional cable TV industry. Both these companies thrived because they dared to innovate and change the status quo.
5. Customer Centricity
The central theme in ‘Psychology of Influence and Persuasion’ and ‘Rework’ is customer centricity. Amazon, with its motto of ‘Customer Obsession,’ revolutionized e-commerce by prioritizing customer needs. Alternatively, Zappos, with its legendary customer service, created a loyal customer base that led to its massive success. These companies remind us that putting the customer first is the key to a thriving business.
6. Agile Methodology and Continuous Improvement
Books like ‘Lean Startup’ and ‘Running Lean’ embrace the Agile methodology and the principle of continuous improvement. Toyota’s production system is a prime example of continuous improvement in practice. Also, Gmail’s evolution, from a basic email service to an integrated productivity suite, illustrates the power of continuous, iterative improvements.
7. Power of Positive Thinking
Books like ‘How to Think and Grow Rich’ and ‘The Obstacle is The Way’ focus on the power of positive thinking. Walt Disney, despite numerous setbacks and bankruptcies, never lost his optimistic spirit, eventually building the Disney empire. Similarly, Richard Branson’s positive outlook helped him build the Virgin Group despite various business failures. Their stories inspire us to maintain a positive mindset in the face of adversity.
8. Influence and Leadership
Themes of influence and leadership resonate in ‘Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion’ and ‘Lean Thinking.’ Martin Luther King Jr., with his leadership and influence, rallied millions behind the civil rights movement. Equally influential, Elon Musk’s leadership has guided teams across various industries, leading to groundbreaking products like Tesla electric cars and SpaceX rockets. Their influence and leadership have brought about substantial change.
9. Wealth Creation and Management
‘Wealth creation and management’ is the crux of ‘The Intelligent Investor’ and ‘Conscious Capitalism.’ Warren Buffet, through smart investment decisions, has created enormous wealth. Simultaneously, John Mackey, the CEO of Whole Foods, has shown how businesses can be profitable while maintaining ethical practices. These examples inspire us to approach wealth creation responsibly.
10. Value of Integrity and Ethics
Integrity and ethics, as emphasized in ‘Good to Great’ and ‘Conscious Capitalism,’ play crucial roles in sustainable success. The Body Shop, known for its ethical sourcing and animal-friendly products, has built its brand on integrity. Similarly, Patagonia’s commitment to environmental responsibility has earned it loyal customers and strong brand reputation. These companies demonstrate that business and ethics can, and should, go hand-in-hand.
11. Importance of Effective Communication
Effective communication, a recurring theme in ‘Words That Sell’ and ‘How to Win Friends and Influence People,’ is vital in all aspects of business. Apple’s marketing campaigns are great examples of clear and effective communication that resonates with their audience. On the other hand, leaders like Sheryl Sandberg stand out for their ability to communicate complex ideas in simple, relatable ways.
12. Need for Adaptability and Flexibility
Adaptability and flexibility are the lessons from ‘Switch’ and ‘Rework.’ Netflix’s shift from DVD rental to streaming and then to content production is a testament to its adaptability. On the other hand, Instagram started as a check-in app called Burbn. They pivoted and focused on photo-sharing, which eventually led to their meteoric success. These companies are sterling examples of the need to stay flexible and adapt to changing market conditions.
13. Encouragement of Entrepreneurial Mindset
‘Zero to One’ and ‘$100 Startup’ encourage an entrepreneurial mindset. Richard Branson started selling records out of the trunk of his car before founding Virgin Records. Similarly, Sara Blakely sold fax machines door-to-door before creating Spanx, a billion-dollar company. These stories inspire us to think entrepreneurially, irrespective of our circumstances.
14. Significance of Continuous Learning
The importance of continuous learning reverberates in ‘How to Read a Book’ and ‘Mastery (Robert Greene).’ Bill Gates, despite his success, is known for his commitment to learning, with his avid reading habits. Likewise, Elon Musk, who taught himself rocket science, highlights the power of self-learning. Their stories motivate us to commit to lifelong learning.
15. Emphasis on Grit and Resilience
‘Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance’ and ‘The Obstacle is the Way’ emphasize grit and resilience. J.K.

Benefits and Risks
It is not known whether this study will benefit you. However, it could provide research-based genetic screening results that inform you of a genetic variant that increases your risk of cancer.
Study participants will receive a gift card upon enrollment.
Free genetic screening
During the research study, a study participant's blood or saliva sample will be screened in the research lab for a number of genes including BRCA1 and BRCA2 among other genes known to increase the risk of developing breast cancer and associated cancers.
Free genetic counseling
Provided through a partnership with The University of Alabama at Birmingham, genetic counselors advise disease-affected and/or at-risk individuals about the consequences and nature of the inherited disorder. It also involves risk assessment and discussing disease management strategies.
For all our sakes
Our work is teamwork. We can fight breast cancer together. By participating in research you are helping your family, your community, and the world.
Study participants information will not be accessible to outside parties such as employers, government agencies, or insurance companies unless you specifically consent to this disclosure, unless the law permits, or unless we receive and order from a court of law.
Knowing genetic screening results can affect each individual differently.
Risks of blood and saliva donation
A study participant will be asked to provide a blood or saliva sample. In-person study enrollment typically involves the collection of blood samples for DNA extraction. Blood collection is usually not problematic, however, the collection process could cause bleeding, bruising, discomfort, pain, dizziness, or more rarely, infections. When blood sample collection is not possible a saliva sample may be collected. All virtual study enrollment sessions involve collecting saliva samples for DNA extraction. No known risks are associated with saliva donation.
Virtual enrollment risks
The Auburn University secure HIPAA Compliant Zoom video conferencing tool will be used for virtual study enrollment sessions. The risk of hacking into the session is low, but we must acknowledge the possibility of tampering from an outside source. | <urn:uuid:12474e6a-3643-47d3-ac6a-329e7e327e08> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://genemachine.info/benefits-and-risks | 2023-09-27T12:06:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.91898 | 425 |
There is always a thing or to wonder about when dealing with generators. Do not lose sleep over doubts about your machine; consult your seller, manufacturer, or the internet for clarification. Below are questions users ask from time to time.
How do I know what size of generator suits me best?
Do thorough research on how to determine the size of the generator you actually need. While at it, look into the following factors and you are good to make a purchase:
– What are your power requirements?
– How often do you intend to use it?
– What watts are the machines you want to operate using the generator?
– What is your load size?
– Where do you want to use it and how is the site condition?
Why is it unsafe to operate generators from the garage?
1. Generators produce a lot of carbon monoxide, which is fatal when inhaled in large amounts. Using your generator in the garage, even with the doors open, leads to the accumulation of toxic gases that pose a health risk to you.
2. You do not need all that noise near you.
3. Generators produce a lot of heat, which when accumulated within an enclosed environment, can make the constituting parts jam and blow up.
Set up your machine in a space with free-flowing air for sufficient ventilation.
As much as you want to make the most out of operating generators in homes, you need to keep you and your family safe. Take all safety precautions seriously and keep the running machine at a considerable distance from your house.
How can I make my generator less noisy?
1. Upgrade the muffler.
2. Add insulation in the housing if there is one.
3. build a housing if there is not one
Most people go ahead and just opt to get a quiet generator to begin with so they do not have to go through making unnecessary upgrades.
Is it possible to set up a generator by myself?
Yes, it is. However, when you decide to take up the task, ensure that you are well-equipped. Do the following and you are good to go.
1. Take all safety precautions stipulated in the manufacturer’s guide seriously.
2. Have all the required tools and materials for the task.
3. Master and follow all steps in the set-up as instructed in the user’s guide.
4. Consult professionals when stuck.
Note that you cannot do the setup for all types of generators. It is a walk in the park when you decide to set up a portable generator by yourself. Large and complicated ones require the direct services of the manufacturer. Leave it to them and do as they tell you to; it is their specialty.
Does one have to place the generator on a flat surface?
Yes. It is one safety measure to keep them from falling. These are heavy machines that if they land on anything, they crush it mercilessly. The impact with which they fall will also destroy them.
Since the machine directly utilizes electricity, keeping it on a flat grounded surface cancels out any chances of electrocuting people around. Ensure that the surface is free from moisture and debris, and let the floor earth it.
I am done with unexpected power outages. Where can I buy the best generators?
You have three common options:
Order online from accredited suppliers.
Purchase it directly from the manufacturer.
Get it from local accredited sellers. You can use reviews from satisfied customers and packages of after-sales services offered to know the big names in town.
You are not sure which one is the best. We have done the research for you. Here are the best generators.
Where are the generators used?
Generators are typically used at:
1. Homes for backup power
2. Commercial and industrial facilities for backup power
3. Constructions sites for power tools and lighting
4. Outdoor events for lighting and concessions power
5. Farms for remote power
6. In lower economic areas/countries, at any type facility so that they can maintain regular power for business, due to unreliable grid power
In case of power outages, you can still finish watching your movie and cool food in the refrigerator. This is only possible if you are using solar panels and a portable whole home generator or a standby generator.
Standby for businesses
Manufacturing does not stop because power lines in town are under maintenance or a storm knocks out power. You can use any type of generator depending on the type of business you run, but many businesses will need a very large standby generator that kicks on as soon as it senses a loss of power.. It will help in saving your computer files and avoid the chances of losing money because of a lack of electricity.
In construction and drilling sites
When building houses, bridges, and roads, it is highly unlikely that you will have the government connect power lines to supply you with electricity. The right generators are what you need to have the job done. Check out what the best miners and drillers use out there: you will be impressed.
For permanent farm operation
With greenhouses and sprinklers in place, electricity on the farm is now a necessity. If there were no power out there, farm yields would deteriorate and heavy losses witnessed. Both large and small scale farmers benefit from owning a generator or two powering up machines for them. The country will not starve because somebody cut off the power supply.
Outdoor fun activities
When was the last time you listened to good music in the woods without your phone going off? Or enjoyed warm food thanks to perfect catering services? Or went to a tailgating party? It will take so many extension cords to get power connection from the main house to where you are having a good time outdoors. For this reason, you can have a generator in place.
In big events
These power prime movers are the real deal in concerts, world-class stadiums, events, and exhibitions. To have everything running as planned, the generator used has to be well maintained and fueled. It looks bad when in the middle of a presentation, the generator stops running and you have to wait half an hour for the technicians to fetch fuel.
To boost up the power
Sometimes, power from the mains may not meet the required voltage. You can use the generator to step up the voltage to the required levels. This will ensure the normal operation of machines.
For critical systems operations
Some places need 24hr supply of electricity. These include fire service stations, water supply companies, the airport, and the hospital. How ugly it is for a patient to lose their life because the oxygen machine was suddenly not powered up. | <urn:uuid:e23593f4-2da8-4a3b-b0ee-f1e4b7f9a4fc> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://generatorhq.net/generators-faq/ | 2023-09-27T12:47:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.945554 | 1,377 |

Just like the chill that sets in during winter, there is a concern that can set in on homeschoolers at this time of year. After the holidays are over and it’s time to go back to school, homeschoolers can start feeling jittery. Looking at the students who may not be thrilled about getting back into the routine and thinking about all you need to cover before the end of the year can produce a sort of panic... one that is easy to fall in to, but hard to get out of! It is the kind of panic that can cause you to throw away the methodology you love (and you know works) in favor of something more traditional, more productive looking, something with more paperwork. In your heart you know it isn’t the best way to learn, but what else can you do to address the rising sense of fear that you won’t get everything done?
The best way to back down this lurking fear beast is to speak educational truth to it. What do we know about the way children learn, and really anyone for that matter? We know that a variety of types of activities are most effective. If you have ever sat through a college class of three hours of lecture, you know that there is a limit to what you absorb. Some lecture, or instruction is good. Too much can be numbing! So, like a good meal, set a nice educational plate of variety. Incorporate discussion, reading, writing, and activity into your school day.
How do children best remember what they learn? By attaching meaning to it! Learning by rote is best left to doing household chores, your address and the birthdays of your family members. When something that is learned is paired with activity and application it is much more likely to be remembered. The fact or piece of information is now attached to an experience and not just the ability to memorize. That’s why linking literature to content areas like history, science, and geography make so much sense. A memorable character or story connect concepts with content in a way that can seem effortless.
Next, remember where you came from. Perspective is so important in learning. Without seeing the progress you have made since the beginning of the school year, you can forget what has been accomplished. Start your lessons after any extended break with plenty of review before you go forward. It will make everyone feel more successful! Once you have reviewed, your students are up to speed and ready to build on the foundation of learning that has already taken place. Now that you see all that has been accomplished, you can rest knowing that more learning will take place.
Lastly, share the positives you see with your children. It is in your face that they see a reflection of how they are doing. While we know as teaching parents that we must adjust and correct our children, how you do that is of great influence in determining how far you will get! Your children are your blessings, not your educational burdens, so try to remind them of that fact daily. Build an atmosphere of encouragement.
Real learning is a result of these simple keys. Our goal is not just a passing test score, but an equipped, interested learner. Incorporate these easy to apply principles and watch the chill of fear fade, replaced by the confidence that what you do with your children will produce lasting learning and and students who can use the skills they have been taught. And remember to put this article somewhere you can find it next February...
Seen any good movies lately?
Our family enjoys movies. We chose new releases that we wanted to see together, looking forward to the experience. The exchange of opinions and understandings after the film gave everyone a chance to share and hear the reactions of others. Since my children grew up listening to a daily read-aloud, there was a natural transition to movies from the group sharing of an ongoing story. My husband's dramatic reading of The Chronicles of Narnia was always a favorite of our children, plus it built an active approach to listening. You never knew when Daddy might change the story to see who was paying attention! Watching the movie later also gave them a real appreciation for the richness of literature and the impossibility of truly conveying the depths of a great story in a couple of hours.
Not only were movies a source of enjoyment, they were also a great part of school. We read the wonderful classic Swiss Family Robinson aloud, then had Swiss Family Robinson Night where we watched the movie and ate an island dinner of finger food on the floor in the living room. Our meal was complete with candles and coconut! This experience remained a favorite of our family for many years. Connecting literature to this multi-sensory experience made it memorable—and fun!
We continued to incorporate movies into our literary instruction as our children got older. During high school there was not enough time to read all the great books so often we would watch a film to get a taste of a book we didn't have time to read. As with all tools, make movies your servant. Teach your children to select and watch with discernment, following your example. If your family chooses to watch movies, make use of this rich source of ideas for discussion and evaluation, building comprehension as you go. When you do, you may shed a tear, give a shout of victory, become inspired, or travel the world, all from the comfort of your living room. Sounds like homeschooling, doesn't it?
My children's high school years of homeschooling were truly a delight. I was grateful to be such an involved part of their lives, and honored to be considered such good friend material! We charted a path, with Ruth Beechick's help, that allowed us to stay the course of using the unit study approach that had always been so successful for us. We integrated language arts into everything, decreasing the time spent working on isolated subjects, and became skilled observers and recorders of all that we did.While many around us felt they had no recourse but to use textbooks, or prepared courses, we took steps that were truly bold for us. We used the course outlines from our state's educational website, which we kept in a notebook. I would mark off objectives as they were covered, writing the date next to the goal. I kept a folder for each course we claimed credit for, which included lists of materials used, reports, projects, and perhaps photos of field trips or related activities and a summary of what was completed.
Once the course objectives were broken down like this, we were free to use the library or other resources we already had, and to deal with the topics from our family's viewpoint. People became valuable resources as we learned from those who had expertise or experience in the topic area, equipping the children with the ability to come up with a plan to learn just about anything. It also allowed us to customize to fit their particular bends.
When young people become confident learners, where they learn won't matter. They will be successful. Don't be too quick to send your children to learn from others, even in the high school years. There will be plenty of time for that. Cherish the relationships and blessings that come from your time together. | <urn:uuid:84e82c9c-0e79-4a84-bcc3-11cbc6d3bdeb> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://geomatters.com/blogs/news/tagged/natural-learning | 2023-09-27T10:52:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.977791 | 1,480 |

CHICAGO – Top scientists at a major academic center are uniting to answer key questions about the root causes of the long Covid – whether fragments of the coronavirus remain in some individual’s tissues.
The effort, known as the Long Covid Research Initiative, aims to streamline research and rapidly move potential treatments into clinical trials.
By sharing diverse skill sets and resources, this group hopes to uncover the scientific underpinnings of this disease and use it to design evidence-based trials.
Long Covid is a complex, poorly understood and disabling condition that can persist for months after an initial Covid-19 infection, leaving many of its patients unable to work. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly one in five American adults infected with Covid-19 has the disease.
The initiative is backed by an initial $15 million (SGD21 million) from Balvi, a science investment fund founded by Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of blockchain platform Ethereum.
This includes scientists from Harvard University, Stanford University, University of California, San Francisco, Yale University, and the J. Craig Venter Institute.
“In a long Covid, the first thing we need to understand is whether patients still have the virus,” said the nonprofit PolyBio Research Foundation, an expert in infectious disease-related chronic diseases and chief scientific officer. Dr. Amy Proal said. of initiative.
Currently, there is no cure for the new coronavirus, which affects more than 150 million people worldwide.
She said there is growing evidence that the virus exists in tissues and continues to provoke a response from the immune system. This may help explain the cascade of some 200 long-term associated symptoms of Covid, including pain, fever, headache, cognitive impairment, shortness of breath, and fatigue after minimal activity.
Researchers use advanced imaging and gene sequencing techniques to look for evidence of viruses in tissues and analyze their effects on the immune system.
If viral persistence proves to be the cause of long-term Covid, the research initiative aims to test antiviral treatments such as Pfizer’s Paxlovid, as well as other classes of drugs that modulate the immune system. is.
“Antiviral drugs are the biggest target for our clinical trials,” Dr. Proal said, adding that the group would like to study Paxlovid.
Several case studies have shown that paxlovid improved symptoms in a handful of long-term Covid patients. Well-designed, large-scale trials are needed to identify which is high. – Reuters | <urn:uuid:0297dfbf-bd51-4b07-9a21-7ce8b896a75c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://getmelivenews.com/top-scientists-studying-key-theories-behind-long-covid-latest-health-news/55335/ | 2023-09-27T12:18:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.93725 | 538 |

When it comes to working with a copywriter for hire, people often don’t know what to expect. (Is it going to break the bank? How can you write about my business if you’re not a part of it?

Read on for all you need to know about hiring a creative copywriter to bring your content dreams to brand-building fruition.

In today’s world, that means all-things digital—everything from sales PDFs and Google AdWords to website copy and blog posts.

Brand Voide Guides begin at $1,350.

Some of the advertising agencies and businesses I work with like to list me on their website as part of their team.

The new sports centre provides a multi-purpose sports hall, fitness suite, classroom/function space, and office space for Dilworth Junior Campus’ sports staff. Indoor sports including basketball, volleyball, badminton, futsal, and table tennis are accommodated in a range of formats designed to maximise flexibility of use. The sports hall has retractable bleacher seating and can be divided with a vinyl curtain, to simultaneously host multiple sports or classes.
A thermally efficient building envelope, naturally lit sports hall, and roof mounted photo-voltaic panels all contribute to reduced energy use, with any surplus power transferred back to the main campus.
This project provided the opportunity to re-think the campus architecture, and resulted in a contemporary monotone aesthetic, punctuated with splashes of colour representing Dilworth’s four house colours.
The modern, flexible sports centre has become the signature campus building, where boys have everything they need to thrive. In the words of one student, “it really is a magic place.” | <urn:uuid:31a52c58-4a4c-43b7-856e-e6785dcdf76c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://ghdwoodhead.com/projects/dilworth-gymnasium.html | 2023-09-27T11:06:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.914484 | 215 |
First shipment in bitcoins involving Gibraltar company
Gibraltar-based financial company along with its partners have conducted the first-ever shipment transaction using cryptocurrency. The substance of the deal was the delivery of 3000 tons of wheat from Russia to Samsun, Turkey.
The Prime Shipping Foundation (Primeshipping.io) was created as an open-source project founded by Gibraltar Quorum Capital Ltd and shipping broker Interchart LLC. The team developed a bitcoin payment system to be applied in the shipment sector. According to company representatives, they became interested in cryptocurrency because of payment high speed and low fees. Both factors are gaining in importance when it comes to international payments. The transaction also applied bitcoin futures of Chicago-based CME Group exchange.
Gibraltar is still one of the most appealing jurisdictions for startups and small businesses. It features less severe taxation and the absence of red tape related to license issuing for foreign companies. Currently, Gibraltar locates dozens of blockchain startups as well as hundreds of young IT companies and small businesses from the CIS and European countries. According to Ivan Vikulov, the head of Prime Shipping Foundation, its company is going to obtain a bank license in this country soon in order to simplify transfers of cryptocurrencies into fiat money and vice versa. It will allow the company to use bitcoins in the shipment industry on a regular basis.

Actress Sakshi Tanwar feels the iconic show ‘Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii’ changed the viewing experience for the better. As the show is coming back after almost 13 years, Sakshi gets nostalgic about being part of the show and portraying an ideal daughter-in-law, Parvati in it.
According to her, this was among the shows that had set a trend of saas-bahu sagas on TV and was so much connected to the daily lives of people that one can see similar incidents happening next door.
She shares: “It truly pioneered the change of television viewing experience. It is one of those shows which set the precedent for what we still see on TV as daily soaps. The relationship between television actors and their viewers is quite unique to me.”
“It is a beautiful exchange of emotions through television which may even be compared to meeting your neighbours on a daily basis. I am truly excited to see its re-run on TV,” adds the actress known for TV shows such as ‘Bade Achhe Lagte Hain’, ‘Kutumb’ and many more.
She also worked in films like ‘Dangal’ and was seen as Daya Kaur, wife of former wrestler Mahavir Singh Phogat, played by Bollywood star Aamir Khan.
‘Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii’ was one of the most successful shows on TV from 2000 to 2008. In fact it was among the Top 5.
Actors like Sakshi Tanwar, Kiran Karmarkar, Ali Asgar, Shweta Kawatraa became household names and even today they are remembered for their roles.
‘Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii’ will air on Star Plus. | <urn:uuid:b3dcba10-de18-4732-88be-52103a493000> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://glamsham.com/tv/telly-news/sakshi-tanwar-kahaani-ghar-ghar-kii-set-the-precedent-for-daily-soaps | 2023-09-27T12:44:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.985717 | 382 |

You may wonder do restaurants need a license to play music. The answer is yes, and we take every step possible to make sure both the musicians who help us provide live music in Coconut Grove and the musicians who performed the pre-recorded tunes we play when we don’t have a band playing are compensated for their creativity and intellectual property.
If you want to have great food in Coconut Grove while enjoying songs being played in a restaurant, call us at (305) 570-4731 to book a reservation.
Playing Music in a Restaurant Legally
In order to play pre-recorded songs inside a restaurant, establishments of our size are required to have a license from the three performing rights organizations (PROs). These organizations represent artists and composers and make sure they are compensated when their songs are played in eateries like ours as well as in other businesses. They also make sure everyone is playing tunes in an eatery legally. Rest assured, we follow these guidelines because we care about supporting musicians and playing songs in a restaurant legally.
Why do restaurants need a license to play music? The reason is that songs are an artist’s and a composer’s intellectual prope rty, and they are legally entitled to be compensated for it when their tunes are played in an establishment like ours because we are a business, just like you must pay for an iTunes or Spotify account to listen to the latest hits. Playing tunes in a restaurant legally without a license is allowed, however, if the eatery plays classical tunes composed before 1922 because it’s in the public domain.
We don’t need a license to invite bands to play in our business. However, you can trust that we partner with the best local bands of all genres and make sure to pay them appropriately for bringing our restaurant a fun, casual atmosphere for patrons like you to enjoy.

Planning a private event? You might think that private event planning for a selected number of people won’t be that hard but there are several aspects that you need to cover. For starters, you need to work out the location of your event to deal with the rest of the tasks stress-free.
That said, we at Glass & Vine hope to make things easier for you and provide you with the perfect private party setting at the lush oasis within Peacock Park at Coconut Grove, Miami. Now that we have helped you decide on the location, it’s time to see what other organizational elements you’ll have to deal with and how we can meet that demand for you.
1. We Cater to Every Type of Event
Planning a private company dinner is not the same as planning a family gathering. Even a private birthday party can be more formal or casual, depending on what you want and who you’re planning the event for. This is precisely why we always ask our respected customers to fill the form and explain the nature of this private event.
For starters, once you work out the type of event it will be a lot easier for you to decide whether the attire should be more formal or casual as well as decide between the more business or leisure-like setting.
This automatically brings up the question of food and entertainment, which are all organizational aspects that we at Glass & Vine can help you with as long as we’re familiar with the nature of the private event you want to organize. No number of attendees is too small; even if you’re looking for the perfect private date under the stars, we’re here to make it happen.
2. You Can Count on Both Indoor and Outdoor Setting
The biggest issue for many people when choosing their ideal venue is the matter of indoor vs. outdoor setting. Just imagine how frustrating it can be to look for the ideal venue when you’re not sure whether you want to go the indoor or outdoor way yourself. The search can quickly become daunting and stressful. Fortunately for everyone, Glass & Vine restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor areas for private events. The location is already intimate enough, surrounded by lush nature and breathtaking scenery.
You simply can’t go wrong with our outdoor venue if you want a piece of paradise just for you and your guests. On the other hand, the indoor view is equally amazing and the atmosphere is pleasant and relaxing, perfect for an intimate event with no distractions. The best thing about us offering both options for your event is that you’ll be able to instantly opt for one that matches the theme of the event perfectly.
3. We Provide Different Levels of Privacy
Of course, it’s very important that you decide just how private you want this event to be. There won’t be any strangers walking in on your party, but there are nuances to think about depending on the number of attendees.
That said, we at Glass & Vine are happy to say that we can accommodate up to 40 seated or up to 60 cocktail-style attendees in a semi-private setting.
In case you plan to invite a lot more people than that and wonder how to make an event private, wonder no more. We’re no stranger to larger private events either and also provide a buyout option that allows for up to 200 seated and up to 300 cocktail-style attendees, with the whole restaurant completely at your disposal.
4. Food and Drinks without Compromise
Glass & Vine is not just a venue; we’ll be your private event restaurant. After all, Glass & Vine is a restaurant in the first place, offering Euro-style seafood, meat, and veggie dishes. Together with plenty of desserts and drinks to choose from, you won’t have to deal with hiring a third-party catering service for your event. Not only does this save you money, but it also makes things a lot more convenient for everyone.
After all, it’s rather challenging to learn about potential allergies your attendees may have or the diets they follow to manage the catering well. But with our entire menu and the kitchen right there and then, every attendee can easily order whatever they’d like, no questions asked or stress involved.
Of course, if you’re planning a smaller event with a specific menu in mind, we’re more than happy to accommodate you, be it with a specific buffet solution, drinks, and canapes, or pre-decided three-course meals. Don’t hesitate to inform us about potential ingredients that you strongly wish to avoid, if there are any.
5. The Matter of Entertainment Is No Matter at All
We at Glass & Vine love to organize themed events, especially when it comes to all sorts of entertainment. From Havana and Jazz Nights to Oktoberfest, we had our fair share of fun. Therefore, if you’re looking for help with an appropriate entertainment solution for your private event, don’t hesitate to ask us more about it as we’re happy to oblige and assist you on the matter as much as possible. After all, the setup is already there.
That said, if you’re interested in providing your own entertainment, you can rest assured that the necessary technical equipment is available. Just say the word: microphones, a sound system, IT equipment, a projector – whatever you need we can work it out together and help you organize the ideal event that perfectly matches whatever theme you have in mind.
How to Reach Out to Us
Every good private event needs adequate planning. This is precisely why we have provided a private event inquiry form on our Glass & Vine website where you can leave your contact information, including the nature of the event, the time and date, as well as any additional info you’d like us to know. You can also get in touch with us on our Facebook and Instagram social media accounts or simply go for the Live Chat option on our site where one of our agents will get back to you as soon as possible to answer whatever questions you may have.
Whatever the nature of your private event is, the fact that it should be an intimate occasion where you can (re)connect with people and enjoy yourself with everyone present doesn’t change. This is why it’s important to start your planning in time and prevent yourself from getting overwhelmed easily. There’s nothing wrong with having some help when organizing something special, and who’s better for the task than the professionals at your very venue?
Located in the dreamy setting of Miami’s Coconut Grove, within the picturesque garden setting by the sea in Peacock Park, both you and your guests are bound to have an unforgettable experience filled with laughter and good food at Glass & Vine. This will be the perfect opportunity to get away from the hubbub of everyday life and simply commit to taking it all in, from the great company and amazing surroundings to delicious bites and refreshing drinks. | <urn:uuid:9758bf5b-63a9-439a-ba1a-690fa874f63c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://glassandvine.com/private-event-restaurant/ | 2023-09-27T12:19:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.943397 | 1,447 |
Eli Lilly and Company today announced additional details on its SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody programs – including interim data on combination therapy in recently diagnosed patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 – and plans to make these therapies broadly available to patients.
Data from a new interim analysis of the BLAZE-1 clinical trial showed that combination therapy with two of Lilly’s SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies reduced viral load, symptoms and COVID-related hospitalization and ER visits.
The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 study evaluated LY-CoV555 and LY-CoV016, which bind complementary regions of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, for the treatment of symptomatic COVID-19 in the outpatient setting. The combination cohort enrolled recently diagnosed patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19, who were assigned to 2800 mg of each antibody (n=112) or placebo (n=156).
The combination therapy significantly reduced viral load at day 11, meeting the primary endpoint of the study.
Lilly has now submitted an initial request for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for LY-CoV555 monotherapy in higher-risk patients who have been recently diagnosed with mild-to-moderate COVID-19.
“The monoclonal neutralising antibody drugs are very promising with slightly different versions being developed by several pharmaceutical companies. This announcement from Eli Lilly follows broadly similar results reported by Regeneron last week,” notes Prof Martin Landray, Professor of Medicine & Epidemiology, Nuffield Department of Population Health, University of Oxford. “Both studies show that monoclonal antibodies targeted at the coronavirus spike protein can reduce the viral load and improve symptoms. Although Eli Lilly report that fewer patients receiving the treatment were admitted to hospital or attended the emergency room than in the placebo group, this should be interpreted with caution in such a small study.”
Lilly expects to submit a subsequent request for EUA for combination therapy in November, pending clinical trial enrollment, once additional safety data accumulate and sufficient supply is manufactured. Lilly anticipates having data to support a biologics license application (BLA) submission for combination therapy as early as Q2 2021.
“There is a way to go before we know whether this class of drugs is effective in reducing the worst manifestations of COVID,” said Professor Landray. “We need to know if they improve outcomes for patients – avoid hospital admission, shorten hospital stay, reduce need for mechanical ventilation, and improve survival. Furthermore, it is important to establish how well they work in different types of patients (the elderly, particular ethnic groups, those with other disease) and at different stages of the disease (early vs. late, mild vs. severe, requiring oxygen or mechanical ventilation). Randomised clinical trials to answer these questions are now a priority. It is encouraging to see that both Eli Lilly and Regeneron have active plans for much larger trials in a range of different settings including residential care homes, outpatients, and hospital inpatients.”
Lilly says it is working to publish the monotherapy and combination therapy data in peer-reviewed journals as soon as possible. | <urn:uuid:e44a8240-6d02-433c-9396-4832a86c60e7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://globalbiodefense.com/2020/10/07/eli-lilly-says-antibody-combo-effective-against-covid-asks-for-eua/ | 2023-09-27T11:57:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.934192 | 673 |
Over the last half century, Japan has become an economic and technological mega center in Asia, transforming from a once homogeneous nation to a one that diverse cultures and ethnicities call home.
This transition has not been without its challenges.
Japan treasures its rich culture and heritage that make the small island nation distinct, and many gaijins, or foreigners, have a hard time finding a place to fit.
The Global Peace Foundation (GPF), with its perspective that all humanity is connected as one family under God, beyond nationality, ethnicity, race and religion has become a natural player in cultivating relationships between native and immigrant communities in Japan.
Most recently, Global Peace Foundation joined with partners to host the first Multicultural One Family Festival in Tokyo’s Hibiya Park on August 15-16, 2015. International communities from Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria, Philippines, Korea, Indonesia, India, Bangladesh, Mongolia, Bosnia/Herzegovina, Uzbekistan, Turkey and many others joined to celebrate the beauty and diversity of the human race.
Locals came out to taste international food, watch traditional performances and visit booths to interact with unique cultural displays. The process of meeting neighbors from other cultures and exchanging stories brought the community closer together and elevated a mutual understanding of the multi-faceted rich culture Japan now hosts.
It also showcased the newly commissioned “One Dream One Korea” song, which was featured at festivals around the world to commemorate the end of World War II, the subsequent liberation and division of Korea, and highlight the national desire for re-unification.
One participant reflected on the emotionally significant moment, “The One Korea song had me bawling. It’s great and has the power to move people. Even my sister, who doesn’t understand the lyrics, felt the transformative effect.”
At the conclusion of the celebration the public sang together “Colors of the Human Race” by Kirari, a J-Pop artist known for her song “Last Piece.”
Global Peace Foundation and its partners are addressing the growing need for social cohesion in Japan by promoting shared values that tie together native Japanese and international communities.
One person, one step and one heart at a time, the cultural tapestry of Japan is evolving into something deeper and richer. It is being enhanced with the integration of the many cultures of the human family.

Ireland publishes draft proposal on Mandatory Disclosure Rules
The Irish Government published, on 17 October 2019, draft legislation implementing the European Union (EU) Directive on the mandatory disclosure and exchange of cross-border tax arrangements (referred to as DAC6 or the Directive).
The Irish draft legislation is subject to the formal legislative process and may be amended before final enactment. If implemented as currently proposed, the Irish Mandatory Disclosure Rules (MDR) will be broadly aligned with the requirements of the Directive.
Under DAC6, taxpayers and intermediaries are required to report cross-border reportable arrangements from 1 July 2020. However, reports must also retrospectively cover arrangements where the first step was implemented between 25 June 2018 and 30 June 2020.
The draft legislation proposes to amend the “Anti-Avoidance” rules of Ireland’s Taxes Consolidation Act (TCA) by transposing DAC6 as an addition to Ireland’s domestic mandatory disclosure regime that was enacted in 2011.
The draft legislation is expected to be finalized in late December 2019 and operational with effect from 1 July 2020.
The draft includes some explanatory notes that clarify the concepts and terms used in the Directive, but further guidance addressing the interpretation of the hallmarks of the Directive and their application is expected to be published subsequently by Irish Revenue.
The Council of the European Union Directive 2018/822 of 25 May 2018 amending Directive 2011/16/EU regarding the mandatory automatic exchange of information in the field of taxation (the Directive or DAC6), entered into force on 25 June 2018.1
The Directive requires intermediaries (including EU-based tax consultants, banks and lawyers) and in some situations, taxpayers, to report certain cross-border arrangements (reportable arrangements) to the relevant EU member state tax authority. This disclosure regime applies to all taxes except value added tax (VAT), customs duties, excise duties and compulsory social security contributions.2 Cross-border arrangements will be reportable if they contain certain features (known as hallmarks). The hallmarks cover a broad range of structures and transactions. For more background, see EY Global Tax Alert, Council of the EU reaches an agreement on new mandatory transparency rules for intermediaries and taxpayers, dated 14 March 2018.
EU Member States are to adopt and publish national laws required to comply with the Directive by 31 December 2019. Ireland will introduce domestic legislation, which will take effect from the passing of Finance Act 2019 (expected in late December) and will become operational with effect from 1 July 2020.
This Alert summarizes key differences between the draft Irish legislation and the Directive.
Scope of taxes covered
The scope of the taxes covered in the Irish draft legislation is aligned with the Directive i.e., applies to all taxes except VAT, customs duties, excise duties and compulsory social security contributions. However, the draft legislation excludes fees for documents issued by public authorities and consideration due under a contract. The rationale for this latter exclusion is not clear. Further clarification from the guidance is expected to be published by Irish Revenue.
Under the Directive, an arrangement is reportable if:
Under DAC6, cross-border arrangements are defined as arrangements concerning more than one Member State or a Member State and a third country. The hallmarks can be distinguished as hallmarks which are subject to the main benefit test (MBT), and those which by themselves trigger a reporting obligation without being subject to the MBT.
The overall definition of “reportable cross-border arrangements” included in the draft legislation aligns with the DAC6 definition.
The definitions provided include “arrangement,” “cross-border arrangement” and “reportable cross-border arrangement.”
An “arrangement” is defined as any of the following:
(a) Any transaction, action, course of action, course of conduct, scheme, plan or proposal
(b) Any agreement, arrangement, understanding, promise or undertaking, whether express or implied and whether or not enforceable or intended to be enforceable by legal proceedings
(c) Any series of or combination of the circumstances referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b), whether entered into or arranged by one or two or more persons—
(i) Whether acting in concert
(ii) Whether entered into or arranged wholly or partly outside the State, or
(iii) Whether entered into or arranged as part of a larger arrangement or in conjunction with any other arrangement or arrangements
but “arrangement” does not include any of Ireland’s Double Tax Treaties.
The definitions of the terms “cross-border arrangement,” “marketable arrangement,” and “hallmark” are as defined in the Directive.
Ireland has had a domestic mandatory disclosure regime since 2011 which applies to a narrow range of “domestic hallmarks.” This new cross-border mandatory disclosure regime, when enacted, will sit alongside and operate separately from the existing domestic mandatory disclosure requirements.
Hallmarks A-E of the Directive
Most elements of the hallmarks included in DAC6 are not expressly defined. The Irish draft legislation refers directly back to Annex IV of the Directive. It is expected that further explanatory notes will be provided with some clarification on these elements.
Main benefit test
In accordance with DAC6, the MBT will be satisfied if it can be established that “the main benefit or one of the main benefits which, having regard to all relevant facts and circumstances, a person may reasonably expect to derive from an arrangement, is the obtaining of a tax advantage.”
A tax advantage is defined in the draft legislation as any of the following:
(i) Relief or increased relief from, or a reduction, avoidance or deferral of, any assessment, charge or liability to tax, including any potential or prospective assessment, charge or liability.
(ii) A refund or repayment of, or a payment of, an amount of tax, or an increase in an amount of tax refundable, repayable or otherwise payable to a person, including any potential or prospective amount so refundable, repayable or payable, or an advancement of any refund or repayment of, or payment of, an amount of tax to a person.
(iii) The avoidance of any obligation to deduct or account for tax, arising out of or by reason of an arrangement, including an arrangement where another arrangement would not have been undertaken or arranged to achieve the results, or any part of the results, achieved or intended to be achieved by the arrangement.
This broad definition sets out an objective test for the tax advantage, in contrast to the definition of the same term under the existing domestic MDR in Ireland where a tax advantage is considered obtained only if a person purportedly would not have entered into a transaction, in its current form, if the possibility of this tax advantage had not been there.
Any person who obtains, or seeks to obtain, a tax advantage from a reportable cross-border arrangement will become a chargeable person for tax under Ireland’s self-assessment rules. Such a person, if not already required, must file an annual tax return.
Under the Directive, intermediaries with EU nexus have the primary obligation to report arrangements to the tax authority. The Directive gives Member States the option to exempt intermediaries from the obligation to report where the reporting obligation would breach legal professional privilege (LPP). If there are no intermediaries which can report, the obligation will shift to the taxpayers.
Under the draft Irish legislation, the definition of “intermediary” is in line with the Directive and there is no reference to employees of an entity or of an “in-house” tax team being regarded as an intermediary.
The Irish draft legislation exempts intermediaries from reporting information with respect to which a claim to LPP could be maintained in legal proceedings. However, tax advisors, auditors and accountants, who cannot claim LPP, are required to report.
Intermediaries availing of the LPP exemption are however obliged to notify other intermediaries or, if there is no other intermediary, to notify other relevant taxpayers, without delay, of their reporting obligations. There is no clarification on how the expression “without delay” is to be interpreted.
Under DAC6, for intermediaries (and relevant taxpayers), the trigger events for reporting under the Directive (from 1 July 2020) are when the reportable arrangement is “made available for implementation”; or when the reportable arrangement is “ready for implementation” or when “the first step of implementation has been made.” The same trigger events apply in the draft Irish legislation, with a 30-day deadline within which to report.
Under the Directive, reporting starts from 1 July 2020 and exchanges between jurisdictions from 31 October 2020. However, reports will retroactively cover arrangements where the first step is implemented between 25 June 2018 and 1 July 2020. Such arrangements will have to be reported by 31 August 2020.
The proposed Irish reporting deadlines are aligned with those in the Directive.
Ireland also has opted to take measures that require each relevant taxpayer to file information about their use of an arrangement with the Irish Revenue in each of the years for which they use it, in accordance with Article 8ab, Paragraph 11 of the Directive. Irish Revenue will assign a unique reference number to the reportable arrangement and the taxpayer is required to include that reference number in its annual tax return for each year in which it uses that arrangement. If the return is made by an intermediary, the intermediary is required to provide the reference number, in writing and within five working days, to all other intermediaries and relevant taxpayers involved in the arrangement. If the return is made by a taxpayer and there is more than one relevant taxpayer involved, the first relevant taxpayer is required to provide the reference number, in writing and within five working days, to each such other relevant taxpayer.
Intermediaries must also specify, when first reporting an arrangement, if it is a “marketable arrangement” as defined in the draft legislation, which is in line with the Directive. Information regarding the identity of each intermediary and relevant taxpayer involved; dates of implementation; and Member States involved or likely to be impacted, must be reported to the Irish Revenue every three months.
Information to be reported
Under DAC6, the following information must be provided to the relevant Revenue Authority for any reportable cross-border arrangement:
The Irish proposal is closely aligned with the Directive on the reportable information, with minor differences including:
The following penalties for non-compliance are set forth in the draft Irish legislation:
The Irish draft legislation has clarified some questions with respect to the interpretation and implementation of DAC6, however many questions remain unanswered. The Government will present the formal draft legislation, which will then be debated by the Irish Parliament. It is anticipated that the subsequent legislative process will provide more clarification.
Determining if there is a reportable cross-border arrangement raises complex technical and procedural issues for taxpayers and intermediaries especially considering the obligation of the 30-day reporting window once the legislation becomes operational in July 2020. Due to the scale and significance of the regulations included in the draft legislation, taxpayers and intermediaries who have operations in Ireland should review their policies and strategies for logging and reporting tax arrangements so that they are fully prepared for meeting their obligations.
Lastly, it is important to note that Guidance Notes containing more extensive interpretation of the Directive and its hallmarks are expected to be published by Irish Revenue and there will be time to provide feedback for this process. Following their release, Guidance Notes should be used to update any assumptions made in the interim and prepare for live reporting beginning July 2020.
1. For background on MDR, see EY Global Tax Alert, EU publishes Directive on new mandatory transparency rules for intermediaries and taxpayers, dated 5 June 2018.
2. DAC6 sets out a minimum standard. Member States can take further measures; for example, (i) introduce reporting obligations for purely domestic arrangements; (ii) extend the scope of taxes covered; (iii) bring forward the start date for reporting.

We will call 1 week in advance to confirm the appointment, review the work, and our mutual expectations. Often we play “phone tag” but we do request that you return our phone call.
We will also call the day before your appointment and at least 1 hour before our arrival so you know what time we will arrive. Our cleaning technicians will be in company uniforms and jackets that are clearly labeled. We drive company vans that are also clearly labeled.
Before we arrive:
At GM Services, we are committed to providing exceptional carpet cleaning services, including executive carpet cleaning, rug cleaning and repair, and upholstery cleaning. To ensure an outstanding job and a smooth cleaning process, please follow these guidelines before our arrival:
- Ensure easy access to the nearest exterior door in the area being cleaned. If necessary, remove cars from your driveway before our team arrives.
- If you reside in a gated community, kindly inform security in advance that you are expecting “GM Carpet Care.”
- For the safety of your pets, please relocate them to a room not being cleaned, a neighbor’s house, or secure them in a kennel or carrier. As doors will be opened and closed during the cleaning process, we want to ensure your pets’ safety. Please note that we are not responsible for any runaway cats or dogs.
- If our crew is expected to move any furniture, kindly remove all items from the tops of the furniture prior to our arrival. We cannot move furniture with items on or in them.
- We recommend a thorough vacuuming of all carpets and upholstery to be cleaned, preferably the day before our visit. If you are unable to vacuum, we offer this service as well. A proper vacuuming helps us achieve a fantastic job and prevents excessive moisture during the cleaning process.
Thank you for choosing GM Services for your executive carpet and upholstery cleaning needs. We look forward to delivering an outstanding job and leaving your carpets looking refreshed and revitalized.
What to do after we leave:
After carpet cleaning, we recommend that you wear white socks only to walk on any carpets that have been cleaned. No shoes, slippers, or colored socks. Please limit this walking for 2-4 hours until carpets are completely dry.
Promote air circulation to promote drying! Turn on all ceiling fans, window fans, etc. Open windows, if possible. Turn up the heat in the winter, or turn down the air conditioner in the summer.
We ask you to leave any furniture cards or blocks under your furniture for 24 hours after carpet cleaning. These prevent rust or furniture stains on your carpet.
For upholstery cleaning, we will arrange cushions in teepee style, please rotate them every half hour.
Give a thorough vacuuming the following day. You cannot vacuum too often! It helps set the pile, and in sandy Ocean and Monmouth County, it removes any churned-up sand.
Tell your friends and neighbors!
Feel free to brag about your clean carpets and the fantastic service you received from GM Carpet Care.
Spot Removal Tips
Always feel free to call us anytime for expert advice on spot removal. All our personnel are certified “spotting” experts and have a thorough understanding of the causes of your spots. We know how to proceed with solvent, sour, and alkaline cleaning to remove those strange, persistent stains.
If you have a spot you cannot remove, we offer spot removal services. We do require a minimum service call fee for our time and effort, but if we cannot get it out, the spot is not removable! The vast majority of spots are removed though, and we love the challenge.
If a spot cannot be cleaned, it can still be removed if it is large, noticeable, or bothersome. Carpeting is the most forgiving of all floor coverings and an area with a spot/stain can be replaced using spare carpet pieces or a closet. Learn more about our Carpet Repair Services.

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has had a successful debut campaign in the Premier League but he will be aware of the need to keep evolving if the biggest prizes are to come in the near future.
The next big challenge for the Dutch boss is to build a strong squad. The current squad options have not proved to be adequate in quite a few areas.
The situation can be rectified using the transfer market as well as by integrating academy players into the squad.
One such player who deserves a crack at establishing himself in the first-team next season is Amad Diallo. The Ivorian has shone during his season-long loan deal with Sunderland in the Championship.
Amad has excelled out on loan
He is the joint top-scorer for the Black Cats with 11 strikes to his name along with three assists in 35 appearances across all competitions.
The Ivory Coast international had recently opened up about his move to United and how it is a dream of his to establish himself as a first-team regular.
The Red Devils could certainly do with Diallo’s skill-set and he could be a worthy competitor for Antony for the right wing spot.
The 20-year-old is also versatile enough to occupy other positions such as the No 10 spot as well as further forward as a support striker.
And that is why Ten Hag stopped short of recalling him in January.
“They’re very happy with him at Sunderland, but also I’m told internally that Manchester United they think that the choice to keep the player at Sunderland on loan in January not to recall him.
Amad reintegration will not be straightforward
“Because this was considered as a possibility in January, at the beginning of January for Manchester United.
“But then at the end together with the Erik ten Hag, they decided that the best choice was to let Amad play all the games, be an important player for Sunderland, and then have him back for the pre-season.”
The transfer expert also pointed out that Diallo would get pre-season to try and impress Ten Hag who will likely give him half-a-season before deciding on yet another possible loan.
“In the summer, the idea of Manchester United is to decide with Diallo about the future.
“If the best option for him is to stay at Manchester United at least for the first part of the season, for the pre-season and then to see what’s the best way to decide the future or if a loan again could be a possibility.”

More Frustrations on Cannabis
In a prerecorded video set to be played at an upcoming event on combating monopolization in the cannabis industry, Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) said that the existing state-by-state regulatory framework “creates confusion and barriers that big business exploits to make big bucks at the expense of communities already decimated by the war on drugs.” I read this on Marijuana Moment.
This is precisely what is happening. The biggest exploiters are the banks and any company providing a service for the business. Can you imagine running a business wondering if every time you enter all your financial information into Quickbooks that you fear being shut down? Can you imagine paying hefty monthly fees to have a bank account? I could go on and on and on, but what is the point?
As NY State attempts to do the right thing by awarding those hurt by the absurd war on drugs, the Federal Government is making it impossible to run a profitable business. NY State has begun to close down the illegal dispensaries but shutting seven and having the press highlight it is far from success. Did the media return the next day to see if those businesses were running again? I bet they were.
Why isn’t someone getting to the root of the real problem? Who is funding these illegal dispensaries?
I applaud NY State for trying to do the right thing, but the cost is killing these potential illegal dispensaries before they open. It is apparent because they are not opening. For people who want to apply and get in the game, such as myself, the state expects us to give 51% of the business to a partner that has been formerly incarcerated. How many of us would do that? Raise your hand. I did and was happy to do it with Strive, an organization we laud daily, but I can’t afford to do that two more times. I want to see profits go to our team too. At twenty percent, I’d do it all day, every day, but 51%?
Those awarded licenses, because they have been previously incarcerated are not opening because they do not have the capital to do it. I have heard rumblings of one CAURD operation, and remember, only seven legal dispensaries in NYC right now might close shop. That speaks volumes.
We are doing everything the state asks from us, including massive security, prompt reporting, paying taxes, and everything in between. Yet, here we are, doing the right thing and competing against 2000-plus illegal stores. Every person I speak to in the cannabis space brings up what a disaster NY is. Missouri opened up to legal cannabis in January and has already done half a billion in sales, and those taxes are enormous for the state. Doesn’t that speak volumes? Is anyone listening? | <urn:uuid:032313bd-96ca-45f3-b65d-89864d2c13b5> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://gothamgal.com/2023/06/more-frustrations-on-cannabis/ | 2023-09-27T10:37:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.971101 | 573 |

When choosing a casino online, there are some things that you should know to ensure you have a great time. The number of games, live dealer options, and minimum stakes are all important, but the quality of the experience should also be of top priority. Read existing customer reviews and use your judgment before making a decision. Whether you are a first-timer or a seasoned pro, the key to a great casino online experience is to find a casino that caters to your personal tastes and requirements.
The gaming options offered by online casinos are much larger than those of brick-and-mortar establishments. Online casinos offer a range of slot games, roulette, and blackjack games, as well as lottery-like games such as bingo. Live casinos are typically limited in their types of games, such as slots, and may offer only one or two types of games. Moreover, they are constrained by space and floors, which can limit their game selection.
In addition to a wide range of games, many of the top online casinos are optimised for mobile use. Although you can play through a browser, it’s easier to navigate through an app when you’re on the go. The software will also send notifications when new games are added or promotions are made. If you’re a social gambler, you’ll love the live casino games. You’ll enjoy the same high quality and excitement as a regular casino.
Live dealer games are another important aspect of playing casino games online. They are a great way to experience realism, especially if you’re playing against real-world dealers. Most players agree that live dealer games are the best option for playing casino games online. You just have to choose the operator carefully, so that you don’t lose your money or time in the process. You can enjoy dozens of games at MyB Casino, including blackjack, roulette, and Super 6. If you’re a video poker player, you’ll also love to play Keno Jackpot, a new way to connect with live dealers.
Another great option is mobile casino apps. They are designed to be compatible with any device. The site is optimized for any screen size, and the game features are exactly the same as on a desktop site. Live dealer casinos are a great way to get started playing casino games on the go. They’re ideal for players who don’t want to download specific apps. If you’re looking for a casino that will allow you to play on your mobile device, BetUS is the way to go.
When playing live dealer games, make sure the live dealers have the experience to match their professional background. You can choose from female or male dealers, as well as multiple dealers per game. In addition, a live dealer casino should have multiple cameras and a chatbox. The dealers must have excellent communication skills and be welcoming to new players. Then, be prepared to pay high fees for the privilege of experiencing a real live casino. A live dealer’s role is crucial to the smooth flow of the games. | <urn:uuid:a6f4fac6-d8b9-42c4-86f5-6f314c903378> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://great-backyard-landscaping-ideas.com/choosing-a-casino-online-3/ | 2023-09-27T12:46:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.956566 | 635 |

Bandana Tewari asks “Could Coronavirus Spark a Sustainable Fashion Awakening?”Read - April 15, 2020
Sustainability is not just about wearing an organic t-shirt. It has to be a way of life. It is not gods and goddesses pixelated in our imagination that will come to save us, but the salvation of our planet that’s comes from us committing to peacefully co-existing with nature.
– Bandana Tewari
Bandana Tewari is a lifestyle editor, sustainable activist and formerly the editor-at-large as well as the fashion features director of Vogue India. For 13 years, Tewari has reported on the socio-political role of fashion, until stepping down from her role at Vogue to focus her efforts on advocating for change within the industry.
Growing up in the foothills of the Himalayas, Tewari studied English literature from Irish and Nepalese nuns, then went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in literature and a master’s degree in communications and filmmaking in New Delhi. After graduation, she began contributing regularly to international fashion publications as well as local editions, such as Elle.
Helming Vogue India Tewari aimed to educate and engage readers in India about international luxury brands, weaving in profiles of Gucci and Louis Vuitton with context about Indian consumers. At the same time, she offered insight into Indian culture with an emphasis on the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi, and practices for western labels attempting to establish a presence in the market, such as avoiding ostentatious displays in certain months and tailoring products for local consumers.
In 2006, she was named fashion journalist of the year at the Fashion Awards in Mumbai, before moving to Bali, where she is now based. She also served a stint presenting a pop culture fashion TV show. Following her Vogue departure, Tewari now serves as a special advisor to Global Fashion agenda, became a judge for the H&M Foundation’s Global Change Award and is a regular contributor to The Business of Fashion. | <urn:uuid:33f0e7f6-edf0-4852-930d-ae55cef35b8c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://greenbyjohn.com/could-coronavirus-spark-a-sustainable-fashion-awakening/ | 2023-09-27T11:10:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.961861 | 437 |
Sleeping under the stars is one of the greatest joys in the universe. Camping is not only an adventurous way to travel, it’s also cheap (if you don’t opt for the glamping version) and eco-friendly. To find the ideal place to pitch your tent is not an easy task; there are so many stunning destinations. Here are some of the best camping destinations for the adventurous at heart.
Scotland – the Isle of Arran
Scotland is full of many beautiful sites worth visiting but one of the most gorgeous is the little Isle of Arran. This island is literally loaded with places to see and things to do. Visitors can appreciate not only the breathtaking beaches, but also superb coastal walks, and visiting caves in the sandstone cliffs which are popular with paragliders. Locals recommend the forest walk that winds past a dramatic waterfall to reach a tranquil lake. When you’re tired from all the walking, relax in the Leisure Centre at Auchrannie spa resort. If you’re a history lover, then be sure to visit the baronial Brodick Castle surrounded by gardens and a country park; it’s a must see!
Chile – Cochiguaz
Make sure you reserve enough time in your holiday schedule and spend at least three days in Chile, especially in the Elqui Valley which is home to the eco-friendly campsites Cochiguaz.
This valley, where you will find the vineyards producing Syrah and Carmenere, is considered one of the best places in the world for stargazing with 360 clear nights per year. Travelers love to explore this picturesque valley from horseback. What could be more magical?
Kenya – Maasai Mara National Reserve
Maasai Mara is one of the world’s richest game reserves. Besides enjoying the game drives and viewing the migration of animals you can treat yourself to a hot-air balloon trip. There are exceptional sightings of elephants from December to March and the wildebeest migration from June to mid-September. By visiting this iconic sanctuary of wildlife you’ll be sure to make memories for life.
Alaska – Deneli National Park
This national park, which is home to the tallest North American mountain McKinley (6,190 meters) celebrated the 100th anniversary of preserving its outstanding nature last year. The wilderness showcases an exceptional scale of landscape; including forest, taiga, tundra and even glaciers. There are four camping areas situated in the park and there are even camper buses which provide transportation for the visitors. Keep in mind you might meet the local grizzly bears!
New Zealand – Punaikaki Beach
New Zealand offers dozens of impressive camping sites, but Punaikaki and the nearby Paparoa National Park are worth exploring. You find the camp between a beach, river and the national park, which makes this campsite a little piece of paradise. The area offers excellent fishing, bird watching, caving or rock climbing. Local attractions are the 30 million old Pancake Rock formations, where the sea bursts through vertical blow holes. Keep an eye on the ocean too as you might spot the playful Hector’s Dolphins. | <urn:uuid:ec7063ce-ca5c-47f1-aaca-9af2c5022f39> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://greenmoxie.com/the-perfect-place-to-pitch-your-tent/ | 2023-09-27T13:07:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.92755 | 664 |
Olympic lifting belts and powerlifting belts are two different types of weightlifting belts that serve different purposes. Here are the key differences between the two:
- Width: Powerlifting belts are generally wider than Olympic lifting belts, typically measuring between 10 and 13mm, while Olympic lifting belts are usually between 4 and 6mm in width. The wider belt provides more support for the lower back and core during heavy lifts.
- Thickness: Powerlifting belts are also thicker than Olympic lifting belts, with most being made of a single layer of thick leather, while Olympic lifting belts may be made of several layers of thinner leather or synthetic materials. This thickness provides additional support to the lower back and core.
- Buckle: Powerlifting belts usually have a large, sturdy buckle, which allows for quick adjustments during training. In contrast, Olympic lifting belts typically have a smaller buckle or no buckle at all, and are often designed to be tightened by pulling on the belt itself.
- Mobility: Olympic lifting belts are designed to allow for a greater range of motion during movements such as cleans and snatches. In contrast, powerlifting belts are designed to provide maximum stability during squats, deadlifts, and bench presses, often restricting range of motion to a certain extent.
- Competition requirements: Different competitions may have specific requirements for the type of belt allowed. For example, Olympic weightlifting competitions have specific guidelines for belt dimensions, while powerlifting competitions have different rules for belt thickness and width.
By understanding the differences between Olympic lifting belts and powerlifting belts, lifters can choose the type of belt that is best suited to their individual training needs and goals. | <urn:uuid:f68ed441-fbe2-4ffa-b2c8-f89787db8f80> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://grindergym.com/olympic-lifting-belt-vs-powerlifting-belt-what-are-the-differences/ | 2023-09-27T11:07:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.967035 | 334 |

Cross-posted from ThinkProgress Green.
Congressional Republicans are now openly acting as advocates for foreign oil interests, colluding with TransCanada lobbyists to push their tar-sands agenda. House and Senate staff for Rep. Lee Terry (R-Neb.) and GOP Sens. John Hoeven (N.D.), Dick Lugar (Ind.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), and others gathered Monday afternoon for a conference call with TransCanada lawyers “to plot out how to push the Obama administration on the Keystone XL pipeline,” Politico reports:
“More or less everyone walked out of the room on the same page backing” a bill from Rep. Lee Terry to give FERC authority over the project instead of the White House and State Department, a Terry spokesman told Politico.
Terry’s bill has been called “bizarre” — the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission “does not oversee oil pipelines’ siting decisions or safety standards.” Furthermore, Terry risks the ire of Nebraskans, who have led opposition to the tar-sands pipeline.
Today, Rep. Ted Poe (R-Texas) is introducing the Keystone for a Secure Tomorrow Act of 2012 to immediately approve the pipeline.
Gov. Mitch Daniels (R-Ind.) is expected to “mention the need to approve the Keystone pipeline when he gives the Republican response” to President Obama’s State of the Union address tonight. | <urn:uuid:678eb164-5d43-42c5-afde-ae37ac31ada6> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://grist.org/oil/twisted-pipeline-gop-conspires-with-transcanada-to-keep-keystone-alive/ | 2023-09-27T12:53:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.918296 | 300 |

The FIFA World Cup Football Games are now in full swing in Qatar and everyone is betting on their favorite team. For most of Guyana, that team is Brazil. Most Guyanese, especially those living in Region 9, are cheering on their southern neighbor, the football tiger, Brazil. In fact, almost all, if not all, Region 9 residents, who live on the border with Brazil, are cheering for Brazil.

Prime Minister Brigadier (Ret’d) Hon. Mark Phillips earlier today (14th of October, 2022) declared the annual Heritage Games 2022 open. The games could not be held for two years owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Prime Minister reiterated the government’s commitment to investing in sports throughout the country. PM Phillips noted that sports play an integral role in the transformation that is underway.

The World of Work has Changed
When seeking work in the rapidly changing world of work it has been said that what worked then won’t work now. As a career strategy for finding work, keeping work, changing career direction, adapting to industry change and adapting our careers to life transitions we need to understand what works now and apply it rigorously. Much as sherpas help mountain climbers reach the top of Mount Everest, a Career Management Coach is your guide and co-navigator – and sometimes cheerleader – through this new work landscape in which you find yourself.
I’ve had many occupations since I started my first formal job in 1990 but my real work has been about finding myself and what makes me happy and fulfilled, in other words, what is meaningful to me.
When I put aside my creature comforts and fears and took a leap of faith into the unknown, exciting things began to happen: I became self-employed! While my lifestyle adjusted to being my own boss, my happiness-levels soared. Only thrice since 2012 that I have lived and worked my purpose have I woken up going “noooo” and that was probably because I had woken with a sore throat or the like.
Given that it used to be a daily occurrence this is nothing short of a miracle. Imagine this if you will: a “noooo” escaped my mind and mouth almost every day for 22 years. How incredibly sad! How many times did I flee work at lunchtime and sob, “what’s the meaning of this all?” Way too many times. Call me overly-sensitive but this was a very real ongoing existential crisis for me.
My search for my career purpose put me on a path to help others find theirs. Whilst not a career guidance counselor I work with individuals who feel that what they are doing is not meaningful, nor making them fulfilled, proud or happy. Perhaps their bank managers, their parents and friends are pleased, proud or happy for them but their hearts cannot be fooled. And they die little soul-deaths every day until one day they feel like the walking dead. Like ghosts…walking shells of the person they should be.
Having lived through a number of my own job changes, including retrenchments, a constructive dismissal case and a couple of jobs from which I resigned for either career progression or personal non-alignment purposes, concluding with a complete career change, I know what it’s like to start again. I know what it’s like to have to re-invent oneself, to be strong in the face of doubt, rejection and defeat. I know what it takes to adapt to the changed world of work: doing this as I did at mid-life, as if changing careers or negotiating mid-life wasn’t challenging enough already!
I have been very fortunate to partner with a number of companies that remain at the forefront of career management trends, coaching practices, human resources strategy and training and development; they provide me with learning opportunities and knowledge-sharing that keep my work and practices current and globally aligned. I look forward to sharing these practices with you when you are ready to climb your own Everest!
Context: The Changing World of Work
Starting with a quote from Lou Gerstner, chairman of IBM, 2000:
“Every now and then, a technology or an idea comes along that is so profound, so powerful, so universal that its impact changes everything. The printing press. The incandescent light. The automobile. Manned flight. The Internet. It doesn’t happen often, but when it does, the world is changed forever.”
The world of work has changed dramatically in the last decade or so, where the shift of responsibility and ownership is from the employer to the employee. Due to the significant changes in the working world since the introduction of social media and the subsequent connectivity and personal brand-curation required, our approach to gaining and keeping work has to shift, accepting that traditional modes of finding and keeping work are less applicable.
As we engage with the 4th Industrial Revolution, otherwise referred to as the Era of Possibility, The Knowledge Era or The Information Age, we need to know how to keep progressing as individual “businesses-of-one” to ensure relevance to the new world of work and add much-needed longevity to our careers considering retirement will be happening later in our lifetime than in previous generations.
Where loyalty to an employer used to secure a long-term career within a company, we have seen that changing global economic trends and an increasingly global workplace have resulted in restructuring, down-sizing and retrenching. Loyalty doesn’t hold as much sway as it used to. Staying current, remaining abreast of technological development and innovation through ongoing learning, being emotionally intelligent and fostering creativity are the hallmarks to remaining employable.
Long-term careers in one field or industry are becoming a thing of the past. If we are to future-proof our careers the type of thinking we would do well to embrace is that we will have a “portfolio of jobs”. Statistics change so I can’t give a definitive, but whereas in the past a worker could expect to have one or two employers over the course of their lifetime, we are now looking at having multiple jobs with different employers over the course of our longer working lives. And we need to negotiate this with ease whilst earning, learning and seeking work-life integration. Enter the Career Management Coach.
A Career Management Coach helps clients to:
- Foster understanding of the new work landscape and embrace it.
- Acquire skills that ensure their approach to finding work and keeping work is relevant and effective.
- Determine career direction and navigate their way as businesses-of-one.
- Build confidence, learning how to manage themselves in the changing workplace.
What is Career Management Coaching and how does it differ from other forms of Coaching?
Let’s start with Coaching
According to the International Coaching Federation (ICF), coaching is an on-going professional relationship that helps people produce extraordinary results in their lives, careers, businesses or organizations. Through the process of coaching, clients deepen their learning, improve their performance and enhance their quality of life. In each meeting, the client chooses the focus of discussion, while the coach listens and contributes observations and questions. The interaction creates clarity and moves the client into action. Coaching accelerates the client’s progress by providing greater focus and awareness of choice.
Coaching concentrates on where clients are now and what they are willing to do to get where they want to be in the future, recognizing that results are a matter of the client’s intentions, choices and actions, supported by the coach’s efforts and application of the coaching process.
What is Career Management Coaching (or Career Coaching)?
Let me say upfront that career coaching is not the same as career guidance, which usually involves student level assessment of IQ and academic results in order to recommend a particular career or study direction. Having said that, we might make use of assessments that you have had done previously or partake in reputable online assessments to broaden our view of your potential.
Career coaching is a process designed to empower you through a journey of self-awareness and self-assessment, market research, networking, reviewing skills and abilities, creating marketing material and understanding what it means to be a personal brand. Coaching conversations are supported by the application of powerful career management tools, the combination of which can be termed the career management process. The process is designed to ensure that you engage pro-actively in achieving a working life that works for you.
The Career Management Process
The career management process can be applied at various stages of career progression from job search to promotions to exiting an organisation be it through resignation or retrenchment. As a career coach I work with you from the beginning of your career through promotions and changes, supporting you as you proceed, be it managing challenging work relationships and/ or making complex decisions regarding career progression.
The proven career management tools which support the coaching conversation include:
- identifying direction
- career planning
- skills development planning (including emotional intelligence)
- personal branding and marketing (CV writing, cover letters, LinkedIn profiles, biographies, networking statements)
- networking skills and strategies
- interview preparation
- creating and maximizing career opportunities
How does the coaching relationship commence?
After you have made contact with me and expressed an interest in working together, a first meeting is arranged (in person, telephonic or Skype) where you and I discuss your requirements and seek to establish a basis upon which we will work together.
This allows me time to explain the premise upon which a successful coaching relationship is built, gain an understanding of you in your context and allow time to answer any questions that you may have about coaching as a discipline.
Thereafter, time is spent discussing your coaching requirement and planning a course of action in alignment with your goals, budget and available time. This is called “contracting” and determining coaching outcomes will form part of this coaching contract.
It’s important to know that the coaching relationship is constantly re-evaluated by both parties and can be terminated at any stage. Your commitment to the process is for as long or as short a period as you feel you require in order that you benefit from the engagement. For further information about the contracting process please mail me on email@example.com to receive more comprehensive information regarding this process.
In summary, the Career Management Process consists of 5 steps
STEP 1: Self-awareness/ Personal discovery
Self-assessment which consists of exercises to evaluate:
- purpose and passions
- key strengths
- key skills
- emotional intelligence
- work environment preferences
STEP 2: Exploration
Conducting research and networking aiming to:
- Create and develop a personal career/ study option evaluations framework; this is done by research into occupations, sectors, organisations and courses. By examining the job market, we seek areas that are most likely to offer jobs for a short-term career plan which can segue into a longer-term career goal.
- Establish a network of contacts in the industry of interest, tapping in to the hidden job market i.e. the posts that are not advertised on job boards.
STEP 3: Marketing
Involves Personal Branding and Interview Preparation which include:
- Bring together what has been learned in steps 1 and 2.
- Develop marketing tools to reflect and support your personal brand.
- Learn how best to manage the interview process and secure target roles.
- Create marketing collateral which includes CV/ resume, LinkedIn profile, specific introduction letters/ cover letters, biographies, etc.
STEP 4: Action Plan
Job Search Activity and Ongoing Reflections to:
- Set realistic goals to transition into chosen areas of work and develop action plans that facilitate active engagement with job search.
- Involves networking and social media to explore the hidden job market, company websites, recruitment agencies, job advertisements.
- Incorporates ongoing reflection into what you are learning about yourself in relation to careers and the world of work.
STEP 5: Integration
Involves self-management and observing personal effectiveness, the purpose of which is to continue to develop and strengthen emotional intelligence capabilities. | <urn:uuid:89413b0a-5695-434d-aba1-2ccf7b108a1e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://gwyneddtheron.com/project/career-management-coaching/ | 2023-09-27T13:04:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.961602 | 2,371 |

At age 16, Naiely felt like her life was spiraling out of control. She and her mom, Thelma, struggled to afford housing in Denver, and were forced to frequently move. Naiely lost focus in school and her grades dropped. Then, she and her mom partnered with Habitat to own their own home, and things began to turn around.
Naiely has always admired her mom’s determination to work hard to build a better life for their family. Thelma was passionate about education, and encouraged Naiely to work hard in school and go to college so that she could have a brighter future. At the time, Naiely didn’t see how college was possible.
“How was I supposed to go to college when we didn’t even have a stable place to live?”
Once Naiely moved into their Habitat home, the stability she had been missing was finally in place, and she was able to focus on her education.
“In the first year of living in our new home, my GPA went from a 1.6 to a 3.7.”
Naiely turned her entire high school career around, secured a full ride scholarship to college, and graduated with a degree in Corporate Social Responsibility.
“I am proud to say that I am a first generation college graduate, not only in my immediate family, but also in my extended family. I have laid the ground work so that my younger cousins are now EXPECTED to go to college and pursue a higher education.” | <urn:uuid:1f7ca74c-cbe4-4b86-9dc7-75c19d234c9e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://habitatmetrodenver.org/naiely-story/ | 2023-09-27T11:18:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.992289 | 328 |

The new hotness in mobile phones is it seems a hinge, and an ever-so-fragile flexible LCD display. There’s nothing new in a hinge of course, a couple of decades ago they were all the rage in feature phones, and of course Nintendo got in on the act with the ever-so-cute Game Boy Advance SP. This hinged design caught the attention of [Allison Parrish], who has brought it to an earlier generation of Game Boy with the Game Boy Pocket SP. It’s a late-1990s Game Boy Pocket whose PCB has been carefully cut in half, in a custom case that looks for all the world like the hinged case of the Advance SP.
The case is a neat bit of CAD work very nicely 3D printed and fitted with a set of Advance SP hinges, but perhaps the neatest part of this build is the se of a set of flexible PCBs to connect the two halves of the unit together. This looks for all the world as though it came this way from the factory, which is an achievement above many console mods.
The whole thing is a little lumpy compared to the SP to make space for the Pocket’s full-size cartridge, but not so much as to make it ugly. Any 1990s kid with one of these would have been the envy of all their classmates!
You may not be surprised to know that this isn’t the first respin of a Nintendo console into an SP-style case.
We see lots of great hardware projects here at Hackaday: some are extremely clever, some are beautifully made, and some show off their maker’s extraordinary skills. Others are just plain weird, but still manage to include some or even all of the above categories. Case in point: [kgsws]’s Wireframe Game Boy project. It’s probably the weirdest Game Boy mod we’ve seen so far, but also extremely impressive from a technical point of view.
The basic idea was to take a Game Boy Pocket and remove its outer shell, replacing it with a cage-like structure made from thick copper wire. That sounds kind of reasonable; think of those transparent Game Boys, only without the transparent plastic. [kgsws]’s video (embedded below) shows him bending a few pieces of copper wire to match the Game Boy’s overall shape, then adding mounts for the cartridge socket, the display, the D-pad and the four buttons. After that you’d simply slide in the PCB, insert some batteries and off you go, right?
Well, this wouldn’t do for [kgsws]. What he did instead, was use a hot air desoldering station to remove all chips from the motherboard and proceed to mount them directly inside the wireframe without a PCB. He then used dozens of thin copper wires to hook up the cartridge slot, the CPU, RAM, buttons, and everything else to reconstruct the motherboard’s functionality. We cringed a bit when we saw him brutally cut the display’s flat cable with scissors, and that too was connected to the rest of the system through flying wires, soldered directly onto the screen’s contacts.
Amazingly, the system managed to boot up and run its software after it got a pair of fresh batteries. Despite a slightly dodgy D-pad, the naked Game Boy actually turned out to be fully usable, although it probably requires somewhat more delicate handling than Nintendo’s famously bullet-proof hardware. We’ve seen Game Boys modded into all kinds of different shapes and sizes, but none quite as unusual as today’s. If it’s wireframe construction you like, check out this eerie sound generator or this beautiful circuit sculpture clock.

The Game Boy Pocket was Nintendo’s 1996 redesign of the classic 1989 handheld, giving it a smaller form factor, better screen and less power consumption. While it didn’t become as iconic as its predecessor, it still had enough popularity for modders such as [Eugene] to create new hardware for it. His Retro ESP32 board is a drop-in replacement for the console’s motherboard and screen, giving it a whole new life.
[Eugene] is no stranger to making this kind of mod, his previous Gaboze Pocaio project did the exact same thing with this form factor, only with a Raspberry Pi instead of the ESP32-WROVER used here. His choice of integrated SoC was based on the ODROID-GO, which is a similar portable console but with its own custom shell instead.
This project doesn’t stop at the hardware though, the Retro ESP32 (previously dubbed Gaboze Express) also offers a user-friendly interface to launch emulators. This GUI code can be used with the ODROID as well since they share the same hardware platform, so if you have one of those you can try it out right now from the software branch of their repository.
If the idea of replacing retro tech innards with more modern hardware is something that interests you, look at what they did to this unassuming Osborne 1, or this unwitting TRS-80 Model 100. Poor thing didn’t even see it coming.
[Alan] procured a few Game Boys from a Yahoo auction with the intent of using them for some other projects, but one of the Game Boys was shipped with a very corroded battery which had eaten up one of the terminals. When [Alan] had repaired it, he was left with a Game Boy with no battery terminal at all, so he decided to splice in some lithium-ion batteries.
Not only does the Game Boy now have a new battery pack, but [Alan] was able to source a USB charger to handle the batteries’ charging needs. However, he realized that his battery pack was 3.7 volts, while the Game Boy only needed 3 volts. To lower the voltage of the battery pack to the required voltage, [Alan] grabbed a 1N4148 diode and put it in series with the battery pack, which also helps prevent any accidental reverse polarity.
This isn’t the most technically advanced Game Boy hack we’ve ever seen but it’s great to see new life breathed into these classic video game systems. Not to mention that [Alan] saved some lithium batteries from the landfill!
There are hundreds – perhaps thousands – of builds out there on the Internet that put a Raspberry Pi in an enclosure with buttons meant solely for running emulators for old games. This one is unlike any other. Yes, it’s still basically a RetroPi emulator, but this Game Boy Pocket casemod goes beyond any remotely comparable build.
The Game Boy Pocket is incredibly small, but after sanding down the bosses on the inside of the case, gluing the battery door shut, and installing a bit of plastic over the cartridge slot, [WarriorRocker] was able to fit a Raspi inside. The buttons use the same PCB as the stock Game Boy, connected to a Teensy 2.0 board that simulates a USB keyboard.
With the two largest components taken care of, [Warrior] turned his attention to the sound, video and power. The display is a 2.5″ composite LCD that actually fits quite nicely behind the screen bezel. Audio is taken care of by a $3 audio amplifier, a new, smaller speaker, and a side-mounted pot stolen from the original Game Boy guts. There’s no chance on running this with the same 2xAAA cells the original Game Boy Pocket had, so [Warrior] somehow found space for a 2600mAh Li-Poly battery, a step-up regulator, and a charge circuit.
The result is a full-color RetroPi build capable of running for three hours before needing a recharge. All the classic Game Boy games are loaded onto the SD card along with select titles for other systems. The result is one of the best portabalized Raspi builds we’ve ever seen. Video below.

Not only women, but men also love to style. Clothes, shoes, gadgets, and accessories are no more everything to make a statement about the fashion in men- hairstyle has been added to the list. Men are also competing in the industry of beauty and styling with several types of hair products. Some are used to style, some for care, while some are used for the treatment. However, there is big confusion among men- which is the right one for their looks.
Among the crowd of several products, finding the most appropriate one according to the hair type and texture is a daunting task for an unprofessional. After all, the different climates of countries also double this confusion. So, taking advice from a professional or salon would be really helpful for you in finding the one made for you.
You also have the option to buy the one from a salon or go to an online store which has a huge range of products to offer you the best match to buy.
Trying every product is an impossible thing. So, it is good to buy very carefully, gathering as much information as you can for the product quality, effectiveness, and of course the ingredients. Whatever type of product you choose is best for the purpose for which you are buying and it is meant for. For instance, choose the daily care shampoo for fine hair, but if you have color-treated hair, then choose the shampoo and conditioner accordingly for hair care. The same is the rule for styling products you use.
Products are several, but what type is meant to make a fashion statement with improved looks depends on the hair you have. For instance, if you have straight hair, then cream is good for you, but wavy and curly hairs can be managed wonderfully by mousse.
Let’s name a few hair products for men that are widely used for hair treatment and styling:
Mousse & Gel: When you use mousse in wet hair, you can achieve wavy, curly, sleek, shiny hairs and keep them managed for the day. When applying on dry hairs, this keeps the locks hold in place and volumize them for improved looks, maintaining the natural look. On the other side, the gel can be applied to every type of hair. However, people with thin hair should avoid this as it harms the scalp. You can firmly hold your hair in place for longer using gel, which is best to get a wet or sleek look.
Conditioner & Masque: Conditioners are always the first choice for everyone to moisturize the hair. They don’t only cure your every strand by moisturizing the scalp and roots but are also used as a basic styling product to make them thick and shiny. Some live-in conditioners, hair treatment or therapy products, such as Paul Mitchell Hair Masque are also used to cure hair for required nutrients and moisture.
Pomade & Wax: If you want to give definition to your natural hairs with a light hold, then Pomade is the right pick for you. It is perfect to get the messy or sculptured hairstyle with shine. Wax on the other side acts like Pomade, but it is a petroleum-based product to provide a firm hold to thick hair. hairsalonannarbor.net | <urn:uuid:76cdeb57-aa76-4de5-93d3-af45cb4922ef> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://hairsalonannarbor.net/hair-products-for-men-buy-carefully-for-improved-looks/ | 2023-09-27T11:57:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.967949 | 666 |
Fritzner Fabre, a healthcare aide who cared for coronavirus patients, spent his final days holed up in a ramshackle North Miami-Dade efficiency, coughing and wheezing. He was 41 when he died at the hospital.
Another Miami man, architect Pierre Martin, suffered from heart troubles and diabetes. Believing he’d simply caught a cold, Martin refused to go to the hospital until it was too late. He was 69 when COVID-19 killed him.
Then there was Pastor Marcel Métayer, who kept his Fort Lauderdale Baptist church open as a spiritual haven for the local Haitian-American community, even as the coronavirus surged during the summer. The faithful noticed Métayer, 63, gasping during his sermons. He blamed his labored breaths on getting wet in the rain.
Métayer had in fact contracted COVID-19, and was admitted to Fort Lauderdale’s Florida Medical Center. He died on July 28. Hours later, one of his assistant pastors, Féquière Espérant, 65, also died from the disease at the same hospital.
These deaths, only a few of over 100 officially documented, underscore a troubling reality: The highly contagious coronavirus is quietly ravaging South Florida’s Haitian-American community. And there are complex cultural factors that make COVID-19 a particular challenge to deal with — and sometimes to even discuss — for many Haitians.
“The stigma is huge,” said South Florida Dr. Sidney Coupet, who heads a public health task force within the Haitian American Coalition of South Florida that was created to improve outreach, testing and services during the pandemic. “A patient who I treated in the hospital…. They discharged her. She beat COVID. The way she was speaking to me, it was as if she was embarrassed. They‘re afraid their families and friends would never come visit them again.”
The exact scale of how the virus is affecting South Florida’s Haitian Americans is difficult to gauge because state health officials do not track infections by ethnic groups other than Hispanics. But at least one statistic suggests an outsized impact: deaths.
With Miami-Dade County Commissioner Jean Monestime — the sole Haitian American on the commission — and other Haitian community leaders pressing for more details on COVID-19 victims earlier this year, the Miami-Dade Medical Examiners began adding “Haitian” when a victim’s background could be documented using information culled from families, hospitals and, mostly, funeral homes who submit biographical details to the state for death certificates.
Those numbers have proved sobering. At least 5 percent of the county’s COVID-19 victims have been Haitian Americans, a group that comprises an estimated 4 percent of the county’s population. In all, at least 105 of more than 2,000 deaths in Miami-Dade as of the end of August have been members of the Haitian community — and experts say that tally is likely a significant under count because it has not been possible to conclusively trace the background of many victims.
In fact, the first documented COVID-19 victim in Miami-Dade was a 94-year-old Haitian woman, Dieumene Etienne, whose family couldn’t be reached.
Missing data on ethnicity and hospitalizations obscure the pandemic’s real impact, said Nancy Krieger, a social epidemiologist at Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health. “It’s not possible to discern, with any precision, if Haitians are being disproportionately affected — and that by itself is a problem,” she said.
The Broward County Medical Examiner’s Office does not identify Haitians among the dead but community leaders believe the toll there likely has been similar.
“It’s impacted the Haitian community more than people realize,” said Pauline Louis-Magiste, president of the Haitian American Nurses Association of Florida. “Unfortunately, the data collection doesn’t really give you the statistical number on how Haitian Americans are being impacted.”
But this is clear: More than six months into the pandemic, minorities have borne the brunt of the novel coronavirus, suffering and dying at disproportionate rates than whites. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control itself says “long-standing systemic health and social inequities have put many people from racial and ethnic minority groups at increased risk of getting sick and dying from COVID-19.”
In Miami-Dade, Blacks overall have died at disproportionate numbers — 19 percent of COVID-19 deaths for a group that makes up 17.7 percent of the county’s population. Blacks also have been hospitalized at a higher clip.
Like other ethnic groups, Haitian Americans suffer disproportionately from underlying conditions such as diabetes, hypertension and obesity, have less access to healthcare and often work jobs that require them to be out in the community. From nurses to caretakers at nursing homes, Haitian Americans also make up a sizable part of South Florida’s healthcare workers who are most at risk of contracting the novel coronavirus.
And beyond medical conditions, community leaders say that language barriers, belief in herbal remedies over traditional medicines, and historical discrimination and stigma stemming from the HIV/AIDS epidemic, make the community even more vulnerable to COVID-19.
Some Haitians have a hard time accepting COVID-19, said Louis Herns Marcellin, a University of Miami socio-cultural anthropologist and director of the Global Health Studies program.
“They will talk about la fièvre,” Marcellin said, using the French and Creole word for fever, echoing the dismissive tone often used by people in Haiti. “They talk about it in terms that are not necessarily public health terms that we can understand … that we can use or rationalize to generate interventions or prevent action.continue reading | <urn:uuid:13d4aac8-ed09-4b92-8c8e-768cc2cdd415> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://haitiantimes.com/2020/09/03/covid-19-a-stigma-to-many-quietly-taking-toll-on-south-floridas-haitian-community/?amp | 2023-09-27T13:03:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.959017 | 1,245 |
Low calorie, buffalo mac and cheese, the is so easy to make, so cheesy, and delicious! This recipe uses frozen veggie pasta, so all you are going to need is a microwave and an appetite!
It is super macro friendly because the pasta is made out of zucchini and lentils and when I saw it in the frozen section I knew I had to try it! I have tried a lot of the Birdseye pastas, and they are ALL good but this one is hands down my favorite!
All you have to do is microwave the bag and it steams the pasta making it cheesy and good. I always split the package because the nutrition states that 111 grams frozen is the serving size but I am not going to open the package and weigh it because then the bag would no longer be able to steam it.. that being said I just log half of entire package.
I love adding the cream cheese and extra cheese because you can never have enough cheese in my opinion, and if you want to give it more of a buffalo mac feel the cream cheese really helps.
I add the ground turkey for more protein, but you can also add chicken.. or really any protein you want or none at all!
After I add the cheeses and protein I microwave it all for a little bit longer and stir it, then I add hot sauce, depending on the day I will add a lot or a little… up to you:)
I like having a salad on the side of this for more veggies, and it is also good with Joseph’s Mini Pitas warmed up and then you can dip it in the extra cheese sauce :). Now this post is really making me want this meal and I have a package sitting in my freezer…. def making this for dinner ASAP!
I hope you all like this recipe as much as I do, please tag me if ya try!!
- 1/2 package Birds Eye Steamfresh Penne with Cheddar Cheese Sauce
- 3 oz cooked 99% lean ground turkey
- 10 grams fat free cream cheese
- 20 grams Velveeta Shreds
- Franks Red Hot Sauce to taste
- Microwave the package, weigh the entire pack and split that weight in half...(this is easiest in my opinion) then I just log half the package because the nutrition is based on 111 grams frozen
- When you have your portioned mac add the cream cheese, cheese shreds, and hot sauce
- Microwave for another 15-20 seconds and stir
- Add the hot sauce to taste and microwave a little more if needed
- Enjoy enjoy enjoy enjoy!!!

I’m so excited to be working on a nursery with some girly touches! I mean, I absolutely LOVE Connor’s room, but this one lets me add in some touches of floral 🙂
For Connor’s room, we went with an adventure/navy blue theme. I wanted something that was basic enough that he could grow up with for the next few years and not have to make any major changes. That’s our goal for baby girl’s room too! If you want to check out some more details on Connor’s room, you can read about the plan HERE and the execution HERE. Here’s a reminder…
I love the balance of light and dark colors that he has. It’s not too jolting, and creates a cool, cozy space. By the way, he has since transitioned to a big boy bed so that we can reuse his crib for baby girl. However, it doesn’t look very good right now, as it’s just a full sized mattress on the floor haha! Maybe I’ll share more details about it when it looks a little nicer in there.
The balance of light and dark worked out so well in Connor’s room, that I really wanted to do it again in baby girl’s room. Plus, I’ve been seeing pictures like these lately and just really falling in love with hunter green, too. I mean, I know this is a kitchen, but is it weird to say that it inspired me for the nursery??
I could literally DEVOUR everything that Studio McGee creates. ALL the heart eyes.
Now, I wasn’t quite ready to take that green and paint a wall that color. I think Connor’s accent wall looks amazing in navy blue, but the thing is, I think if you have an accent wall in a bedroom it should go behind the bed/crib/headboard. And it’s definitely my total preference to walk into a room and have the crib/headboard on the wall that faces you, so you’re walking up to the bed, and not around it, like Connor’s above.
Unfortunately, it’s just not going to be feasible yet for baby girl’s room. This picture is when you walk straight into her room.
As you can see, the walls that would allow you to walk up to the bed BOTH have windows on them, and I just really don’t want to put a crib anywhere near a window for safety reasons. Yes, we have cordless blinds, but I just really want to eliminate anything that she could potentially yank down and hurt herself. Plus, I love me a good drape!
So, eventually, when she is old enough and has a big girl bed of her own, we’ll be able to position it in front of one of those windows with no worries. For now, her crib is going to have to go on the wall to the left when you walk in the room, which is also unfortunately the wall that is shared with Connor’s room. PLEASE tell me that’s not a terrible idea?! I’m having nightmares of future sleeping nightmares.
I just don’t want to end up painting a wall DARK green, and then in a few years, paint over it because we’re going to be changing the position of her bed. So many details that run through my mind…
So, the TLDR version: I’m painting the walls a neutral beige, and going for hunter green accents! Here’s the preliminary plan!
Once I decided that the walls were being painted beige, I knew I wanted some kind of darker green drapes. I found these fabulous ones on Overstock.com in “dark mallard”. All I had to read was “mallard” and I was sold. 4 panels bought.
She’ll get the crib, glider, and lamp hand me downs from Connor’s room. No point in buying new ones! I think I’ll be sewing her new crib sheets and changing pad covers. I LOVING the pink and green floral patterns out there, but will wait until I get the rug in there to decide if that would be too busy or not.
SPEAKING OF THAT RUG. THAT GEM. I found that on a local Facebook resale page for $70!!! AND it’s 100% wool AND 8×10. I’m SO freaking excited. I’m NEVER that lucky with rugs, or just great deals in general. Just look at that hunter green color in there. HEART EYES. Ugh, can’t get over it. It’s currently living in the family room until we finish up the flooring and base molding.
And last but not least, that hoop over the crib. I’ve been stalking Pinterest over some kind of green and pink/coral floral thing for over her crib, and I think I’m headed this direction, except with no words in middle. Of course, all of the options on Etsy are like $60+, so I’ll most likely be DIYing one. I’m sure it’s not going to be all fancy with felt flowers and all, but it’ll do, haha.
So that’s what I’m thinking. And here are those lovely, juicy “before” pictures from just after we moved in. Cover your eyes.
And here’s what it looked like once we got all unpacked, and it sat for about 2 years before we decided to dive in on baby girl’s room. Notice the flooring boxes…
Andddd… baby crap storage closet haha!
I promise, that bed did have a lovely gold and purple duvet cover and pillows on it, but for some reason I didn’t think to take pictures until after I had removed that all for Connor’s big boy bed transition. Here’s a reminder of it with most of the same furniture in our guest room in our South Carolina home:
I’m also considering reusing that dresser and side table above for the nursery. They were hand me downs from my parents, but are pretty solid and sturdy. Although I’m not usually a fan of wood grain on furniture, I think a wood dresser actually may look nice with the hunter green and pink/coral colors. I’m just worried that they’re a little too orangey. We’ll see what happens when I pull them all together.
What do you think?? I’m so excited, but am all ears for your thoughts/opinions/suggestions!
PS – Don’t forget to follow us on Instagram!

How to Avoid Buying Fake Crystals
If you are looking for ways on how to avoid buying fake crystals then you may need to know a few tips so that you can buy only the genuine ones.
However, before we get into these tips let me just say that the world of crystal is a very complex one because there are many types of crystal and it is not an easy task to identify the real ones.
The different types of crystal are based on their shapes and their chemical composition. In order to make sure that you are purchasing the real crystal, you should try to find the best quality ones. There are many companies which are selling different types of fake crystals so that they can increase their profit.
So, what type of fake crystal are we talking about? Well, the first thing that you should consider when buying the fake crystals is that they are not as strong as the original one. This is because they are made from cheap materials and they will easily crack when you hit them with your hammer.
On the other hand, if you are going to buy an original crystal then you should be very careful about the quality and it should have a good quality of crystals because you cannot afford to buy one of them that is less than 100 dollars. It is better for you to buy high quality crystals instead of those cheap ones so that you do not end up in trouble with your lawyer or with the police.
You should also be aware that if you are buying the fake crystals you should be very careful when you are buying them because these products are not legal and they are not produced according to any international law. These products are also illegal to sell in some countries because they are considered as fake jewelry. Therefore, they cannot be sold legally so you should not buy such products unless you know that they are authentic.
Before you buy these products, you should also check their price in different online stores so that you can easily get a comparison between all the products available in the market. This way you will be able to buy only the authentic ones.
In addition, you should also keep in mind that if you are buying them online then you have no problem but if you want to buy them in person then you should go to the local jewelry store so that you can buy them from their hands. In this way you will be able to see for yourself the product and you will also be able to identify whether the product is genuine or not.
After you have done this you should try to visit all the online stores that offer the product so that you can read all the reviews about the product and then you should buy them from them. You should never buy anything without going through the reviews because if you do so you will end up in a lot of trouble and you might end up losing money and you will never be able to find the right product for you.
Why Are People Buying Overpriced Crystal?
The most common way people are trying to make a sale is by pretending they have a fake crystal on the table when it is not a real crystal. A lot of people are trying to get other people to buy an overpriced fake and this is usually done with the use of hypnosis, a stage act or in some cases, just a lot of bluffing.
The thing about fake crystal is that you can usually tell the fake from the real, even if they are the same color. Fake crystals can cost up to $100 each and are made out of cheap materials, so if you want to sell them then you have to put a fair price on the piece. There are a few ways to get around this however.
One way to tell the difference between a real and fake is by looking at the color, and in general it is very easy to tell a fake from a real one, and this applies to white crystal as well as any other type of crystal.
When you are trying to determine the value of a piece of crystal you should always ask to see the crystal before you buy, this is important because if the piece is overpriced then you are not going to get any good price when it comes to buying the next one.
You should also look for pieces that are in good shape or that are in good condition, since if they are not then they may have been stored incorrectly and there may be chips or cracks in the glass which could affect the glass and make it appear old or poor.
Fake Crystals Being Irradiated
There is no doubt that crystal being irradiated is not good for the material. But how do we know if we are dealing with genuine or fake crystals?
The first thing to check is that real gemstones are not being irradiated. This is because some gemstones are naturally susceptible to radiation while some are not, but you should also make sure that they are not artificially treated either.
The main cause of artificial radiation from gemstones is that they contain high levels of natural minerals. The best way to check for the presence of such minerals is to look for the minerals of the stone.
Radiation from stones can be reduced by heating them up. Another way of doing this is by putting the stone in a jar of distilled water and letting it stand there for a while.
If you find that these crystals are not real gemstones, then they are probably fake. However, the good news is that they can be tested for authenticity and once they are proven to be real, you can have a nice collection of them on hand.
If you want to protect your real gems from being treated, you should go through all the steps mentioned above before you deal with the situation. You may have to purchase more than one set so that you can test each set individually. If you find that you are dealing with fake crystals, do not hesitate to throw them away, since they are not worth any more than you will put into them. buy a set, because there may be complaints about a certain vendor.
Gemstones are extremely beautiful and precious. They have a history behind them and they should not be treated like they are ordinary materials. By investing in a set of real gemstones, you will be giving a gift of love to someone who will treasure it for a lifetime.
Fake Crystals Being Dyed – Know How They Are Being Dyed
In the past, fake crystals have been used in various industries such as in glass manufacturing, the making of crystal in jewelries and watches, ornaments, and in the making of different types of crystal products.
However, these days these crystals are no longer used for making fake crystals because they have been detected to be one of the prime methods that are being used for committing frauds.
They then coat the crystal with a liquid color and add other materials such as glue, powder and different kinds of dyes to increase its natural color to make it appear much more beautiful and natural. There are also other materials being used which will help in making it look more natural.
These days there are several kinds of fake crystals being dyed which is not even authentic looking.
Some of them are even very difficult to recognize that they are not real because of their being a very light or transparent appearance.
Most of these fake crystal manufacturers also use other substances to make the crystal to look real. These include various types of wood, plastic and even paper to make it appear much more beautiful.
There are many reasons why manufacturers do this. Some of them want to attract more customers so they dye it in a way that it will look natural. However, they do this in order to earn profit.
If you are planning to buy a fake crystal and dye it in a more attractive color, it is important to make sure that you purchase it from a reputable dealer who sells high quality crystals.
In addition, you should also make sure that you buy from a seller who offers a money back guarantee in case you are not satisfied with the product. This will allow you to be protected against any kind of frauds that may occur.
Crystal sellers who are not offering this guarantee are probably the ones who are selling fake crystals. In fact, there are a lot of these sellers around because they want to earn fast money by selling different types of fake crystals.
Buying your crystals from them is a risky business because if they are not reputable sellers, they can be easily caught and you could lose a lot of money. So if you can afford it, buy it from a dealer who is trustworthy but at the same time can be trusted to give you a money back guarantee.
Remember that it is important to only buy from a reputable crystal seller so that you can ensure that you will get the best quality and genuine crystal. and not some fake one.
Fake Crystals Made in Laboratory
Fake crystals are often used in laboratory work. They are also used for industrial purposes, especially to test the efficiency of a new product or service.
These synthetic crystals are created in laboratories. One of the most common forms of these is the beryllium copper garnet. In addition to this, one can also get a cubic boron nitride crystal that can be used to create the glass, the semiconductor crystals, or even the ceramic. However, they are often manufactured as a result of high temperature heat and pressures in a laboratory.
The goal of creating synthetic crystals is to test various materials in terms of their properties, compatibility and performance.
This is done by testing different materials and products which are usually made from platinum and gold.
These laboratory made crystals can also be used to test the performance of a variety of different laboratory tools.
This is an important application, since it helps a lot of scientists and technicians, such as microscopists, test the quality of the specimen.
It is also important for them to test the instruments in terms of their stability. Without good quality results, the laboratory tools will not perform well and thus, there will be a lot of wasted time and money. Moreover, fake crystals are also used in testing a variety of different products and services.
Another form of the crystal is known as the cubic boron nitride crystal.
However, this kind of crystal is usually made in a laboratory where high temperatures and pressures are using to generate the crystals.
It is also not very stable as the temperature and pressure can vary from time to time.
Spot a Fake Crystal If It’s Too Perfect
In the ever-changing economy today, there is a huge demand for all the different types of fake and replica jewelry. There are so many people who love to dress up in a unique and stylish way and that is why they often opt to buy and wear these beautiful pieces of jewelry. But sometimes, if they find a piece that looks too perfect, they end up being tricked and deceived as a result.
When it comes to spotting a fake crystal if it is too perfect, you need to be careful with what you are looking for.
Fake jewelry is very easy to spot and you should be able to spot a fake jewelry fairly quickly. If you follow these tips, then you should have a good idea of the type of merchandise that you are dealing with.
Natural Crystals Have Unmistakable Marks
Natural crystals are made with natural minerals, sometimes with imperfections or in other cases. Because of the imperfections, the crystal’s properties and the way it looks will vary. If you are interested in obtaining the best value for your money, you should consider investing in natural crystals because they can be a great investment.
Natural crystals are not only beautiful, but can also be a good investment because you can obtain them at a reasonable cost.
One type of natural crystals that has imperfections is a diamond.
Diamonds do not sparkle and shine like the natural crystals that come from different sources. If you want a sparkle on your ring or another gemstone piece, you will need to consider investing in a diamond.
When purchasing a diamond, it is important to find one that has no blemishes or scratches. It is also important to understand what the imperfections mean and whether they make the stone look better or worse.
How to Tell If Overpriced Crystals Are Fake
Overpriced crystals are often mistaken as fake crystal. It is important to know that you can find crystal which is of good quality for cheap, but many sellers will try to pass this off as fake by charging a higher price. The best way to distinguish fake crystals from real crystals is to examine the crystal itself.
Real crystals have clear glass in them. There is no haze or smudges.
If you hold the crystal in your hand and look at it closely, it should sparkle in the light. It does not matter if you are looking at a clear glass crystal or a colored crystal, there is no mistaking the sparkle, nor does it matter what color the light is in the crystal.
However, this clarity of the crystal does not guarantee that the crystal is 100% pure.
Some people will use a colored glass to try and mimic a crystal’s original sparkle and have a different color in the end product than what they started with.
However, the difference is not nearly as great as the difference between real crystal and fake crystal.
Another way that you can tell if you have bought a cheap crystal is by the condition of the glass. If a piece of crystal breaks into a million pieces when you hold it up to the light, chances are that it is not a quality crystal. If the glass looks chipped, dirty, or cracked, chances are the crystal is a cheap knockoff.
If you do find an overpriced crystal, there are ways to tell if it is a real stone or a knockoff. For one, the price can fluctuate by more than the value of the crystal itself. Also, the gem may be cut incorrectly. Sometimes the stone will be cut in a way so that it looks like a real gemstone, and other times it looks like a fake.
What To Look For In A True Turquoise Stone?
If you want to have real turquoise gemstone, you need to know the difference between real turquoise and fake turquoise.
The fakes are usually stone dyed in order to imitate the original, and it looks very similar to the original turquoise.
In addition, there are some fake turquoise that have even been dyed green.
- You can find genuine turquoise only when you know how to identify the real turquoise.
- The best way to identify real turquoise is to check its size and color.
- If you see any type of irregularity, it is probably stone dyed.
- You can find the real turquoise in the form of rings and necklaces but you need to find it in large pieces since small pieces will not show the natural beauty of this stone.
- Another thing that distinguishes real turquoise from the fake one is the hardness.
- The genuine turquoise is more durable than the fakes.
- Fakes also have a rough appearance.
- If you wear a ring with a real turquoise stone, the stone will make a clicking sound if you wear it around your finger.
- Stones with a rough finish are not as durable as those which are polished. A polished stone is more difficult to maintain because it will need to be cleaned often. Fakes are also cheaper.
- You should know that genuine turquoise stone is very hard. It is not soft as a fake. You cannot feel it or see it with the naked eye. The same is true about buying rings, necklaces or other jewelry items with turquoise.
- The most common stone used in making the imitation of turquoise is the lapis lazuli. This stone is a kind of stone which has been dyed by a laboratory. to imitate the real thing. It is not even worth buying a real turquoise stone as long as you do not know what kind of stone it is.
It is important to know the kind of stone that is being used. since stones are available in different colors, a real stone can be easily mistaken with a lapis lazuli stone. If you want to protect your investment, be sure to ask your jeweler or shopkeeper about the type of stone that is being used before you buy it.
Where Do You Find the Best Citrine on the Market?
Most citrine on the market today is heat-treated Amethyst, and so its fake. If you are looking for real Amethyst, the best thing to do is find a reputable dealer who will sell you one that was properly heat-treated to make sure it is authentic.
The most common reason to buy fake Amethyst is because dealers don’t know where to get their stone, and they buy it cheap.
You can find some real Amethyst at a reasonable price, but the quality is usually not what you would expect from a good quality stone.
Instead, simply check the certificate of authenticity, especially if it comes from an established dealer. You should also look at the stone’s background, including its color. | <urn:uuid:e39b4352-5d52-4581-aee9-929135d3d23d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://healingpicks.com/how-to-avoid-buying-fake-crystals/ | 2023-09-27T12:02:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.967934 | 3,520 |
Effective communication between patients and providers is essential in improving health outcomes, addressing healthcare costs, and achieving health equity goals. As the US experiences soaring growth in people who don't use English as a primary language, qualified medical interpreters are increasingly critical in filling this important patient need.
Serious harm can arise from medical communication fails
Adverse medical events more frequently impact people with limited English proficiency, according to a guide from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Serious harm can arise from basic communication failures, underscoring the necessity of patients having ready access to qualified medical interpreters in provider settings.
In the US, that need is pressing. More than 20% of US residents now speak a language other than English at home, a number than has tripled since 1980, according to the US Census Bureau. About 8% of US residents surveyed reported speaking English less than “very well." In addition to language challenges, patients with hearing loss or those with limited health literacy may also require interpretation services.
Why are medical interpreters necessary?
Imagine this scenario: A senior-aged female with limited English visits the emergency room, suffering from abdominal pain and vomiting. Her medical team needs to know her past medical history, any allergies, past surgeries, and current medications. In the exam room, the provider will ask when the symptoms started, their severity, the specific location of the pain, and relevant details, such as whether there's blood in the vomit. The patient's answers could influence whether the medical team may order a CAT scan, blood work, or urine tests. If the patient has a diagnosis, such as appendicitis, they'll need to discuss surgery options.
Every step of that process could be rife for miscommunication and misunderstandings that could adversely impact her quality of care and health outcomes. This is one of many examples of how relevant and important medical interpreters can be to patient well-being.
What is a medical interpreter?
A medical interpreter can offer patients language translation help in person, over the phone, or through a videoconferencing service.
A professional medical interpreter's skills exceed language fluency and a thorough understanding of medical terminology, points out Lisa Morris, the director of Cross Cultural Initiatives at the Massachusetts Area Health Education Center in a UMass Chan Medical School post. Medical interpreters are also trained to “read the moment" so they can determine when to translate word-for-word and when to ask a follow-up clarification. They're familiar with laws and regulations surrounding privacy and reimbursement.
Bringing cultural sensitivity to their work
“But perhaps the essential skill for a professional medical interpreter is the high degree of cultural knowledge and sensitivity they bring to their work," she writes. “The interpreter's ability to accurately read non-verbal communication and cues—gestures, posture, energy rooted in culture or nationality—is crucial to helping the patient and provider fully understand each other. And, in this way, reduces the risks associated with misunderstanding a diagnosis or a treatment plan."
In healthcare, communication is key
Effective communication in medical settings is vital, research has found. People who are at higher risk for miscommunication are also more likely to experience medical errors. In an issues report updated in 2021, The Joint Commission outlines key inequities facing patients with Limited English Proficiency (LEP) when compared to English-proficient patients. Among the findings, patients with LEP:
- Have longer hospital stays when professional interpreters were not used at admissions and/or discharge
- Have greater risk of surgical infections, falls, and pressure ulcers
- Have a greater risk of surgical delays due to difficulty understanding instructions, including how to prepare for a procedure
- Have a greater chance of readmissions for certain chronic conditions due to difficulty understanding how to manage their conditions and take their medications, as well as which symptoms should prompt a return to care or when to follow up
Government provisions address patient rights
As part of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, providers who receive federal funds must take reasonable steps to make their programs and services accessible for eligible people with LEP. This “meaningful access" is required so that people can make informed choices about healthcare treatment.
More recently, the Department of Health and Human Services published the National Cultural and Linguistically Appropriate Service Standards (CLAS) with the intent of improving health equity goals. The CLAS standards provide “a blueprint" for healthcare organizations to provide culturally and linguistically appropriate care. Care and services should be “responsive to diverse cultural health beliefs and practices, preferred languages, health literacy, and other communication needs," the guidelines state.
Professional medical interpretation leads to wide-ranging benefits
The American Academy of Family Physicians points to research documenting the benefits of professional medical interpreters, ranging from fewer errors in communication and improved patient satisfaction to shorter hospital stays and lower malpractice risk. Ad hoc interpreters, such as family, friends, or untrained staff are more likely to "make errors, violate confidentiality, and increase the risk of poor outcomes," the document says. In addition, the guidance advises against using children as interpreters except in emergencies.
In some situations, the patient might feel more comfortable using a trusted family member or friend as an interpreter, federal guidance points out. In those cases, though, the individual should be made aware that he or she has the option of having a professional interpreter without a charge. Before involving a family member, the provider should also ensure that the patient wants this individual involved and aware of confidential medical information, advise experts in a 2020 article in The BMJ.
Ultimately, the decision to use a family member should be noted in the patient's medical chart, states the American Academy of Family Physicians.
Research finds low utilization of medical interpreter services
Despite the clear advantages, medical interpreter services are underused especially in outpatient settings, research shows. In a large, national study, researchers found fewer than 1/3 of outpatient physicians reported regularly using a trained professional interpreter when communicating with LEP patients. About 40% reported never using professional interpreters, according to the results published in 2020 in the Journal of General Internal Medicine.
“Our findings demonstrate that despite clinical evidence and legal requirements, professional interpreters remain greatly underused," the authors wrote.
Report: informal system can impact patient care
Similarly, an in-depth NPR story summarized the frequent occurrences taking place as facilities across the country fall short of these access goals:
“And yet, despite the law, and despite the obvious benefits, thousands of hospitals and other medical facilities continue to fall short, leaving patients—if they are lucky—relying on family members and friends to be ad hoc interpreters of maladies and medical care. It's an informal and imperfect form of triage that unfolds in clinics across the country every day, with potentially harrowing consequences should something be lost in translation."
Real-world challenges to using professional medical interpreters
While the evidence strongly supports professional medical interpretation uses, myriad real-world challenges can influence implementation. For example, in fast-paced emergency settings, it can be difficult to quickly arrange an in-person interpreter. Video conferencing technology is a common solution, but that can present challenges in the form of poor interfaces or sound and visual quality. Providers also report being unaware of interpretation resources, and, when they are aware, cite lack of training on how and when to use medical interpretation.
Even when in-person medical interpretation is available, difficulties can still arise, points out a review of published journal articles on the topic, published in 2021 in the Journal of Legal, Ethical and Regulatory Issues. These include struggles to translate medical language and different dialects within a language.
Other interpersonal influences can impact the patient experiences and communication, too. Medical interpreters might disagree with providers' protocols and adjust the narration in a way that influences content.
The connection with health access
Navigating these challenges is vital in ensuring health equity goals. Research has found a link between adults with limited English proficiency and less healthcare utilization, according to results published in 2021 in Health Affairs.
“These language-based gaps in spending and use raise concern that language barriers may be obstructing access to care, resulting in underuse of medical services by adults with limited English proficiency," authors wrote.
Raising readmission risks
Healthcare costs are impacted as well because communication gaps can lead to higher readmission rates. A 2022 study published in the International Journal of Nursing Studies compared 30-day hospital readmission risk from home healthcare based on language use. They found that patients who had a non-English preference had a higher risk for readmission.
That new study builds on prior research that found constant access to interpreters makes financial sense, too. A 2017 study found that using professional interpreters led to hospital cost savings by reducing readmissions.
How to address the care gaps
While expanding use of these interpretation services is critical, it's also important to increase uptake in a way that doesn't penalize hospitals that care for higher populations of people who need these services. That's the message from authors of the underutilization study published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine.
While enforcement of government requirements might increase uptake when applicable, this must be done in a mindful way that doesn't “further burden clinical settings that disproportionately care for LEP and other underserved populations," the study's authors caution.
Language concordant care can help
While professional medical interpretation has significant benefits, there is another approach: language-concordant care. This happens when patients and providers speak the same language.
“Language-concordant care has been demonstrated to improve patient outcomes, lower healthcare costs, increase satisfaction, and reduce medical errors," write the authors of a 2021 piece published in The Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health.
Using technology to bridge gaps
Another way to expand medical interpreter usage could arise through technology advancements. In a 2022 piece published in The Philadelphia Sun, Daniel Sanchez describes the benefit of remote interpretation service that can put care teams in touch with medical interpreters 24/7 in 250 languages. That's an important stride in advancing health equity while addressing costs.
“Enabling language access and being able to reach limited English proficient and deaf or hard of hearing populations with telehealth is the future of healthcare and helps continue to keep communities safe, healthy, and well informed."

3D intraoral scanning technology can quickly and accurately create a digital model of the mouth.
Understanding Dental Impressions
Dental impressions are a replica of the patient’s mouth, which is used to examine its status and create custom restoration pieces, such as dentures, crowns, bridges, and retainers. Traditionally, dental impressions are obtained by creating a physical mold of the patient’s teeth using a putty-like material.
Advancing technology has introduced digital methods of capturing dental impressions, which deliver results with speed and accuracy. Digital impressions require less materials and steps than molds – this increases efficiency and reduces the possibility of error.
What to Expect
When capturing a digital impression, the dentist will move a wand-like tool connected to a computer over the surface of the teeth to create a virtual model of the hard and soft tissues in the mouth. This quick and painless process is completed in only three to five minutes.
Benefits to Patients
Digital impressions offer a more pleasant experience than using a mold, as the putty can cause discomfort to patients with severe gag reflexes or tooth sensitivity. The 3D intraoral scanning technology creates a more detailed and accurate image of the mouth and therefore better-fitting dental restorations. Because digital impressions are sent to the laboratory electronically, these restorations can even be completed the same day as the impression, eliminating the need for a return visit to the office. | <urn:uuid:7ea8e878-e6f0-452d-b549-ff44c8d1b984> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://healthscopemag.com/health/advancements-in-dental-impressions/?related_post_from=12769 | 2023-09-27T11:12:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.915053 | 298 |

Treat a dog in your life to this Peanut Butter, Banana, Coconut Pup Cake! Made with wholesome ingredients, it’s the perfect, homemade snack for puppy celebrations.
If baking treats for your dog makes me a crazy dog lady and Max a spoiled rotten dog, then… I don’t know where I’m going with this. I AM a crazy dog lady and Max IS a spoiled rotten dog!
Max turned 8 last month and I baked him this peanut butter, banana, and coconut pup cake to celebrate his special day. I think he liked it, as evidenced by the photos below!
Baking for Max is SO satisfying because I have control over every ingredient that goes into his treats! Plus, he loves everything I make! Such an easy palate to please. 😉
P.S. Human friends can enjoy this pup cake, too! It just won’t be as sweet as a non-canine intended treat.
A little lick and sniff…
Yep, that’s good. I’ll take the whole piece.

Killer Whale Facts for Kids
“Killer Whale”is just a popular name for the Orca Whale. Orcas are found in oceans worldwide but are mostly found in the Arctic and Antarctic in areas of extremely cold water.
They are warm-blooded like other whales and humans. Their fatty tissue (blubber) helps keeps them warm in the cold waters they live in.
Often called “killer whales” for their supreme hunting skills, Orcas primarily prey upon seals, sea lions, and even other whales.Killer whales are so well disguised that their prey may not realise they are in danger until it’s too late. This means that even if they see the whale charging, their chances of escape are limited to nothing – just like the oceans’ most superbly designed hunter.
They live and hunt together in groups. These groups are called “pods”. An average-sized orca may eat up to 500 pounds per day! Wow that’s one hungry whale!!!Orcas have about 45 teeth and they are 3 inches long.
Orcas are not all about hunting however, they even like scratching their backs on the ocean floor once in a while.Wow what an amazing creature of the oceans!
The Kings and Queens of the Ocean!
Orcas are referred to as the Kings and Queens of the ocean as they are what we call, apex predators. Because of their size and strength, this species of marine mammal is found atop the food chain with no natural predators able to challenge them. These majestic creatures are also known as Killer Whales despite actually being the largest of the dolphin family.
This marine mammal’s diet mostly consists of fish, seals, sea lions, and at times, even sharks and whales!
With swimming speeds that reach up to 50 kilometers per hour and rows of teeth that grow up to four inches long, these predators can easily catch up and rip through their prey.
How do Orcas Communicate and Navigate?
The Killer Whale mainly communicates through sounds they produce such as whistles, low-frequency pops, and jaw claps. They produce these sounds by moving air through the nasal sacs of their blowhole.
Orcas are also heavily dependent on sound as their primary sensory system when they swim and hunt in the absence of light. This type of communication is known as echolocation. A killer whale creates click sounds that echo through the water and when it comes into contact with another animal or their prey, they will roughly know its location.
What We Need to Know About Orcas!
Despite being commonly known as the Killer Whale, orcas are actually a part of the dolphin family. Being the largest of their species, this marine mammal can grow up to 9 meters and weigh up to 6000 kilograms. Even their newborns have a body length of 2.5 meters and can already weigh around 200 kilograms. That’s really big for a baby, right?
Interesting Facts About the Killer Whale
Orcas got their nickname, “Killer Whale” when sailors observed the aggressive behavior this marine mammal exhibits, preying on larger animals like the whale.
Orcas can give birth to an average of 5 calves in their lifetime. They are also one of only three animal species in the world to go through menopause, which means that they stop being able to produce offspring at a certain age.
An orca spends most of its life hunting for food. They live around 50 to 80 years in the wild and the oldest known killer whale, a female named Granny, was found to be 105 years old! | <urn:uuid:6ddd69b5-af42-411b-b5c3-c04f4b82b307> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://helloartsy.com/killer-whale-drawing/ | 2023-09-27T11:43:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.952686 | 1,181 |
