Users include several categories of individuals in a locality or region: employees, residents, students, tourists, senior citizens, people with reduced mobility, professionals in transit, as they fluctuate in an urban or suburban environment. These different profile categories have different types of mobility expectations.
Users want to benefit from services that are as close as possible to their needs, which is why they are often considered as contributors to the different solutions and therefore stakeholders in their own mobility. They share their data with players such as Mobility by Colas in order to obtain suitable functionalities. In other words, users are at the core of the establishment of our services and hence those of the different areas on their various scales: countryside, towns, major cities or regions.
Users want access to the best options to make their different journeys. Using a single augmented mobility application such as Moov'Hub, users share information about their mobility needs via the service operated by Mobility by Colas and governed by the local authority. We can then adapt the mobility service and/or include new services and, as a result, provide local authorities with targeted recommendations for public spatial planning.
In the course of their increasingly personalised journeys, users are also looking for tranquil, sustainable and safe mobility. Through the ANAIS solution provided by Mobility by Colas, users are involved in their own road safety by providing information to better understand road use. As "guardian angels of the road", users take part in improved and more resilient planning of their area and thus improve their road safety.
Mobility by Colas is also working to facilitate mobility around major urban construction sites, both for people in transit and for residents and retail outlets in these changing neighbourhoods: by regulating last-mile construction traffic flows, the QIEVO approach reduces their impact on the everyday mobility of citizens and hence on their acceptance of changes in their living environment. | <urn:uuid:a19f42ec-36f7-45dc-85b8-dc90635c212b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://mobility.by.colas.com/en/you-are/users.html | 2023-09-27T12:54:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.973295 | 380 |
These vehicles are expected to grow the fastest compared to other types due to their ability to attract investments, but at the same time, Ford may have to worry about research costs, which analysts say will escalate to $70 billion in the next five years. United States regulations demand a near-doubling of vehicles’ average fuel efficiency between 2011 and 2024, from 27.5 miles per USA gallon to 54.5 mpg. Meanwhile, Ford is going to bring Mondeo, which is the overseas variant of the Fusion, and C-MAX Energi hybrids to China in 2016 as well. Ford has announced a major investment in electric vehicle technology, as the sector scrambles to win the zero-emissions race. The new Focus will take an 80% charge in 30 minutes, about two hours faster than the current version, Ford said. | <urn:uuid:62e79123-0cf8-4bd4-aadf-92df6e994843> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://mobility21.cmu.edu/ford-to-democratize-electric-vehicles/ | 2023-09-27T11:08:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.970553 | 172 |
The Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) will debut a major, thought-provoking new exhibition, “Afrofuturism: A History of Black Futures,” March 24, 2023. A highlight of the exhibition is the Black Panther hero costume worn by the late Chadwick Boseman. The Black Panther is the first superhero of African descent to appear in mainstream American comics, and the film itself is the first major cinematic production based on the character.
Per the press release: Investigating Afrofuturist expression through art, music, activism and more, this exhibition explores and reveals Afrofuturism’s historic and poignant engagement with African American history and popular culture. From the enslaved looking to the cosmos for freedom to popular sci-fi stories inspiring Black astronauts, to the musical influence of Sun Ra, OutKast, P-Funk and more, this exhibition covers the broad and impactful spectrum of Afrofuturism.
Through the 4,300-square-foot temporary exhibition, visitors will view a variety of objects from Afrofuturism pioneers, including Octavia Butler’s typewriter, Nichelle Nichols’ Star Trek uniform as the character Lt. Nyoto Uhura and Nona Hendryx’s spacesuit-inspired costume worn while performing with LaBelle.
A highlight of the exhibition is the Black Panther hero costume worn by the late Chadwick Boseman. The Black Panther is the first superhero of African descent to appear in mainstream American comics, and the film itself is the first major cinematic production based on the character.
The exhibition also utilizes select objects to elevate stories that speak to Black liberation and social equality, such as Trayvon Martin’s flight suit from Experience Aviation, and his childhood dream of being an astronaut.
“Trayvon Martin’s flight suit tells the story of a dream of space flight ended tragically by earthbound violence,” said Kevin Young, the Andrew W. Mellon Director of the National Museum of African American History and Culture. “We are honored to tell more of Trayvon’s story, exploring his love of flight and mechanics and his fondness for science and technology. Afrofuturism charts the joy of a rich, imagined future, often in the face of injustice.”
Since its opening in 2016, NMAAHC has supported conversations, collections and initiatives surrounding Afrofuturism. “Afrofuturism: A History of Black Futures” will be on view in the museum’s Bank of America Special Exhibitions Gallery from March 24, 2023, through March 2024. For more details about the new exhibition and to sign up for additional updates, visit the museum’s Afrofuturism website.

Italeri recently released their 1:72 scale Sd.Kfz. 124 Wespe. The kit looks to be of good quality and has a wonderful amount of detail for a 1:72 scale kit. The kit also includes a number of additional excellent features such as two figurines, colored instructions, and synthetic rubber tracks.
The kit also includes decals for four variations of the Wespe, all of which are of very high quality. Italeri rated the Wespe a ‘level 2’ on their difficulty rating system, therefore this kit is recommended for both beginners and veteran modelers.
I would strongly recommend this kit to any modeler looking for an easy yet high-quality build. If you are interested in purchasing or finding more about Italeri’s new 1:72 Sd.Kfz. 124 Wespe, I encourage you to visit Italeri’s website or your local hobby shop. | <urn:uuid:2f33f040-e69a-4361-9c54-c26d8e0c81db> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://modelersbrigade.com/new-model-monday-italeri-1-72-scale-sd-kfz-124-wespe/ | 2023-09-27T12:26:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.953978 | 192 |
A robotic hand with a tiny sensor on one of its fingers can detect potentially harmful mercury ions in samples of food and water by prodding them
A robotic hand equipped with a tiny sensor can detect harmful mercury ions in water or food by poking them.
The World Health Organization considers mercury a chemical of major public health concern because it can cause health issues if consumed via contaminated water or animals that have been exposed to it. Methods for detecting mercury in food and the environment exist, but most involve complicated and costly laboratory equipment and sometimes long processing times. So Snigdha Roy Barman at National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan and her colleagues decided to develop a quicker and simpler approach.

ModPo update: week 10 begins!
We now begin the final week of ModPo 2019’s “symposium mode.”
Week 10 begins today. HERE are the poems and videos. The poets we discuss this week are testing the limits of our understanding of creativity. Can a poem be made that is not original? Can a poem be made that is composed on the basis of a concept, whereby the concept is meant to be just as poetic as the poem that results from the application of the concept? (Or, as some would argue, more poetic?) These poets, in widely divergent ways, show us how creative it can be when you write uncreative writing.
The final poet—in the main syllabus and also in ModPoPLUS—is Tracie Morris, a musical poet, a performance poet, a poet of speech acts, a poet who causes her voice to work around already produced/existing languages. And we are honored to welcome Tracie back to the Writers House on Wednesday. She will meet with a group of us in the House at noon, and then she will join our weekly worldwide ModPo webcast at 3 PM (Philly time). Please plan to join us!
Once ModPo 2019 is done next weekend, we will convene for our annual “Final Words” webcast on Monday, November 18th, at 10:30 AM.
I have created a FINAL WORDS thread HERE. Any time before November 18th, please post your final thoughts about ModPo in that thread. We will read them all, and we will quote from a selection of these comments during the Final Words webcast.
During week 10 we will also read and post comments in response to those who submitted poems and essays for assignment #4. Please do HERE and read a few of these and offer your comments! We hope that every essay submitted will receive at least four responses. To see the assignment, go HERE.
Below I have copied the headnote to week 10. In my daily updates this week, I will offer a sampling of week 10 poems from our vast selection of additional materials in ModPoPLUS.
WEEK 10 HEADNOTE
Not every artist we meet here claims to be part of a trend or movement now widely known as conceptualist poetics or uncreative writing. Some have at times embraced one or both of those terms: Kenneth Goldsmith, Christian Bok, Caroline Bergvall. Others, such as Rosmarie Waldrop, have been involved in appropriative and unoriginal practices for decades. Erica Baum is a photographer of found language who seems to thrive in the atmosphere created by the explicit conceptualists. Michael Magee is an original Flarfist, which some see as divergent from conceptualism but here at least seems certainly a cousin. Others we encounter in our final week (Jennifer Scappettone and Tracie Morris) are using unoriginality and linguistic borrowing and “writing through” for their own reasons and are creating distinct effects. But every artist in chapter 9.3 displays an intense virtuosity that defies what most people at first expect from writings made out of such an adamant rejection of creativity. We hope that despite the strangeness of it all you will find pleasure in watching them undertake their hyper-concentrated, seemingly impossible projects. What can look easy in such experimentalism is often demanding in the extreme. It’s hard to imagine a better examples of this than ‘Africa(n)’ or ‘Eunoia.’ | <urn:uuid:956f407f-a9a5-43c2-896f-48d2cfcfb0ae> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://modpo.org/2019/11/10/modpo-update-week-10-begins/ | 2023-09-27T11:09:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.963454 | 733 |
Peptides naturally fall into short chains of amino acids, which are produced in the human body, which tells cells the exact cell function and which hormones are produced. Peptides are basically messages to lose peptides for belly fat. For example, peptides direct gland to release growth hormone.
Growth hormone will effectively increase the oxidation of fatty acids, leading to weight loss. Growth harmones have many functions and is essential for healthy and longevity. Growth hormone regulate the stem cells in order to improve the body while we fall in sleep. Developmental stimulation requires muscle cells to expand during resistance training.
Peptide therapy can help the body perform health-improving tasks by instructing cells to communicate more effectively, especially when eating highly nutritious foods that are essential for mitochondrial biogenesis and cell proliferation.
About 7,000 peptides have been identified so far. Peptides are essential to life. Pharmaceutical companies produce peptides and conduct medical research to determine their effectiveness in treating diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease and dementia. The peptides are small and can safely and effectively help with weight loss. It is called growth harmones peptide.
CJC 1295 and GHR-2 and GHR-6 are very few peptides. They not only increase muscle mass, but also effectively burn fat in the stomach, usually called liquid fat.
When the peptide CJC 1295 is administered in the form of subcutaneous injection or cream, it will increase the amount of secreted growth hormone (GH) in the pituitary gland. When peptide therapy is combined with healthy eating habits and lifestyle activities, consumers will lose as much as 60 to 75 pounds.
Sometimes CJC 1295 is added to Ipamorelin or other peptide to increase your hormone (GH) secretion. The synergy of peptides can achieve safe and reliable weight loss. Growing harmones is a natural hormone produced by the human body and is secreted during all waking and sleep cycles. CJC 1295 and Ipamorelin are not hormones. The peptides they display command your gland to release your growth hormone. They have a very deep effect and will not over-regulate the hormones or steroids needed to form large muscles.
Growth hormone has many biological functions to promote your health: your specific hormone will melt your belly fat and bring you more nutrition in the middle, while improving your health and longevity. They are responsible for persistent infections that keep abdominal fat stored in overweight individuals. Growth hormone reduces belly fat by improving your lipopolysaccharide pathway.
Fat cells are called adipocytes and release many chemicals, cytokines, proteins and hormones. These are the root causes of insulin resistance, which is the root cause of type 2 diabetes and coronary artery inflammation. Cardiac arrest.
Your growth hormone will do the following things for you to improve your fat burning ability;
MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide called exercise mimic. Considering that the mitochondria is one of the most important organelles in our cells, the benefits of using this peptide are not surprising. MOTS-c can be activated at the cellular and system levels, and its benefits are extremely broad. They include the regulation of longevity, obesity, diabetes and body function.
MOTS-c can be transferred to the nucleus for the response to metabolic pressure and regulating adaptive nuclear gene. This allow the peptide to promote the resistance in the metabolic pressure by up-regulating the mitochondrial genome.
A number of studies have shown that MOTSc has the ability to enhance lipid β-oxidation, increase thermogenic brown fat, reduce fat gain in high-fat diets, and improve glucose uptake during glycolysis.
MOTS-c can be used to lose weight, improve insulin sensitivity, generate energy, protect nerves and prolong life. In view of this, Mots-C improves intracellular NAD + and AMPk, which are related to metabolism and longevity. For those seeking optimization, it is an exciting multifunctional peptide.
Tesamorelin also improves the overall frame of the body. This peptide is very effective for people over 30 years old, because with age, the production of GH will naturally decrease and help improve it. Physical exercise also support to release the GH.
This peptide is mildest growing hormone that releases peptide and the most useful one. It is said that it is the most suitable peptide because it does not cause side effects such as desensitization, starvation stimulation or unnecessary plasma growth like other peptides.
BPC is a protein that is found in the stomach. BPC-157 is composed of many types of amino acids and is part of the body protective compound (BPC), which is known to heal many wounds, including tendons to bones. It can even protect organs and helps to prevent the stomach ulcer.
BPC-157 has shown:
- Improve the healing of various wounds
- Protect intestinal organs and prevent gastric ulcer
- Fight against intestinal leaks, IBS, gastrointestinal cramps and Crohn’s disease
- As an anti-inflammatory drug
- Maintain the integrity of the gastro-intestinal tracts in the inner mucosa
- Repair intestines, tendons, ligaments, brain, bones and other tissues.
- Improve digestive function
- Protect and promote liver healing caused by poisoning
BPC-157 has capsules and subcutaneous injections.
CJC 1295 (with & without DAC)
Since many peptide companies are producing CJC 1295 with or without DAC, I think it would be helpful to review both. CJC 1295 (DAC) is called long-acting GHRH. But no matter. However, CJC 1295 is a DAC version, its main purpose is to increase the level of protein synthesis and help promote the growth of muscle in human body.
Some people claim that CJC 1295 (DAC) is better than CJC 1295 (without DAC) because its duration of action is unlimited. However, others believe that we should worry about the unregulated and inconsistent hGH distribution related to the extended version of DAC. Based on my functional medicine foundation, I belong to the latter.
A study of healthy participants aged 21 to 61 found that CJC 1295 with DAC can prolong the levels of growing harmones and IGF-1, while prolactin does not increase, thereby leading to lose fats and muscle by improving protein synthesis increase.
CJC 1295 DAC can prolong the duration of the human body’s natural hGH secretion, so it can be used in a relatively short time. However, when these natural GH peaks appear, your dosage schedule will not affect your body’s decision, which is not entirely beneficial. So, for example, if your blood sugar is high during one of these hGH peaks, then hGH will not be converted to IGF-1, and you will lose revenue. Another thing to be aware of when using the CJC 1295 DAC is that its impact on lifespan is not yet fully understood. In a podcast, someone mentioned that university team which discover the peptide has been seen very small on CJC 1296 (DAC) which die horribly. There is a valid theory, this is due to the irregularity of the hGH peak.
On other hand, CJC 1295 (DAC) does not have same warnings and is preferred as a compound in clinical practice. Remind you that you must conduct research and cooperation with members of the International Peptide Association to ensure that you stay safe in the process of achieving your health goals.
CJC 1295 stimulates the secretion of growing harmones and will maintain a steady increase in hGH and IGF-1, resulting in peptides for belly fat loss and growth of muscle. If the active stimulation and release of prolactin and hGH are not increased, the patient’s results will show a decrease in fat, increase muscle and a better lipid structure. Another benefit of this peptide is its ability to promote slow sleep (for example, Delta sleep), which is the level of sleep related to muscle recovery and memory formation.
Are you interested in the softness of your skin and college? CJC 1295 also shows the ability to improve skin tone.
Are you interested in improving the effectiveness of CJC 1295 and Ipamorelin can indeed improve fat loss and increase body density. Much lower
GHK-Cu was first found in human plasma, but now it is found in many places such as saliva and urine. It occurs naturally and play a variety of different roles that are essential to the normal function of the body, including enhancing wound healing activity, attracting immune cells or providing anti-inflammatory problems.
In medicine, GHK-Cu reduce lines and wrinkles by stimulating the combination of collagen and glycosaminoglycans. It can also improve hair regrowth.
According to research, GHK-CU has shown:
- Promote the healing of various wounds and reduce infection
- As an anti-inflammatory drug to relieve pain
- Prevent and correct hair loss
- Improve skin tone by 70%
- Reduce lines and wrinkle by 35%
- Heals nerves and relieves certain types of neuralgia
- Protect your lungs from virus infection
Peptides have even been used to prevent cancer. GHK-Cu is available in the form of creams, lotions, injections and injections, and serum. | <urn:uuid:4f9169e7-a6a2-496b-9dad-761744d36de7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://mommasays.net/loss-of-belly-fat/ | 2023-09-27T11:56:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.940039 | 1,966 |
For casino players, the return to player (RTP) percentage is one of the most important things to consider when choosing an online dominoqq slot game. The RTP is a measure of how much of the money wagered on a game will be paid back to players over time. In general, games with higher RTP percentages are more favorable to players.
The working mechanism:
- A game with an RTP of 96% would pay $96 for every $100 wagered. However, it is important to remember that the RTP is a long-term average.
- This means that individual sessions may vary significantly from the overall average.
- Nevertheless, the RTP is still a useful tool for comparing different games and deciding which ones are likely to be more profitable in the long run.
Return to player percentages in online slots:
When playing online slots, you need to understand the concept of return to player (RTP). This percentage denotes the amount of money that a player can expect to receive back from their total wagers, over time.
- For example, if an online slot has an RTP of 96%, this means that for every $100 bet, the player can expect to receive $96 back in winnings.
- Remember, that RTP is always calculated over the long term, so it doesn’t necessarily reflect what will happen on any one spin.
- However, it’s a useful metric to keep in mind when choosing which online slots to play.
- Some players prefer games with high RTP percentages, as they tend to offer better value in the long run.
- Others enjoy chasing big jackpots, even if it means sacrificing some RTP. Ultimately, it’s up to each individual player to decide what sort of return they’re looking for.
In conclusion, the return to player percentage is a useful metric for assessing the profitability of an online slot game. Players should keep in mind that RTP is calculated over the long term, and individual sessions may vary significantly from the overall average. | <urn:uuid:a5d3e7c7-c342-49af-aed8-d8c67e660bbc> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://moneygamblingfree.com/how-return-to-player-percentage-can-help-you-choose-profitable-online-slots/ | 2023-09-27T11:22:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.953508 | 427 |

Nexus applicants in Canada can now sit down with border agents on opposite sides of the link between Fort Erie, Ont., and Buffalo, N.Y., New York congressman Rep. Brian Higgins said Thursday.
That’s a departure from what used to be the standard practice of being interviewed by U.S. and Canadian agents at the same time – a process that hasn’t taken place on Canadian soil since before the pandemic.
The new procedure at the Peace Bridge crossing is an extension of a pilot project that began in late September at the Thousand Islands crossing between Alexandria Bay, N.Y., and Lansdowne, Ont., just east of Kingston.
In both locations, Nexus applicants in Canada submit to two separate interviews: first on the Canadian side with a member of the Canada Border Services Agency, then with U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials on the American side.
“Border management has gotten more complicated than it has to be,” Higgins said in a statement.
“The U.S. and Canada are longtime friends with interconnected economies. We need to find ways to break down the barriers at our border to better support the flow of people and goods between neighbours.”
The pilot project is considered a partial, short-term solution to the bilateral impasse that has led to U.S. agents refusing to staff Nexus enrolment centres on Canadian soil over what they consider inadequate legal protection.
It’s an “important stopgap,” Higgins said, but the fact it’s needed at all is proof that the two countries have a long way to go before Nexus is back to its pre-pandemic strength.
He called it “a reminder that the U.S. and Canada still need to fulfil the potential of the agreement reached in 2015 to facilitate Nexus application procedures in a seamless way to the benefit of both Canadians and Americans.”
The backlog of Nexus applications in Canada reached as high as 350,000 earlier in the fall, but has been slowly declining since the pilot project began. The Canada Border Services Agency officials did not immediately provide updated numbers.
Higgins said once the project is fully underway at the Peace Bridge, as many as 500 applications could be processed there each week.
It’s a far cry from how Nexus interviews have traditionally been conducted in both countries, with applicants sitting down for an in-person interview that’s jointly conducted by officers from the two agencies in the same room.
That process has been going on as normal in the U.S. since April, when the 13 Nexus centres south of the border reopened for joint interviews after a two-year pandemic-driven hiatus.
Customs and Border Protection, however, won’t send agents to staff centres in Canada without being guaranteed the same legal protections they enjoy on U.S. soil – a condition the federal government in Canada considers a non-starter.
Officials with CBP have so far refused to comment publicly on the dispute.
The impasse turned into a full-blown diplomatic row in October when Kirsten Hillman, Canada’s U.S. envoy, said the program was being “held hostage” to a unilateral attempt to renegotiate the bilateral preclearance agreement under which Nexus was established.
Business leaders and elected officials in both countries have been pressing the two sides to find a solution, describing Nexus as a critical component of the cross-border trade and commercial ties between Canada and the U.S.
That includes a coalition of U.S. lawmakers – Higgins, Rep. Bill Huizenga (R-Mich.), Rep. Suzan DelBene (D-Wash.) and Rep. Rick Larsen (D-Wash.) – who wrote to their Canadian counterparts earlier this month.

After taking time off to do some R&D in 2020, the Serani baker is fired up and ready to take on new challenges.
“When we were hit with the first MCO in March 2020, I saw an opportunity to cater to the daily needs of those who were stuck at home. I started testing different recipes for breads and was thankful those experiments worked out well. Over time, I realised the lockdowns were changing behaviours. People were cooking more and placing importance on eating a balanced and healthy diet. With bread flying off the shelves and many not being able to bake their own, I decided to add a small variety of breads to my repertoire”.
A forward thinker, over the years Fiona has explored topics relating to social media marketing, business, finance, economics and more.
“Running your own business is a steep but rewarding learning curve. When I first started out in 2009, I relied solely on social media and word of mouth. As time went on, my sister coached me on social media marketing strategies which we implemented with great success. Along the way, I picked up valuable skills such as copywriting, photography, and accounting which has helped me build my business in these last 12 years.”
Being a business owner means learning to make decisions fast. With businesses pivoting and digitalising due to Covid-19, Fiona has also had to make the most of a tough situation.
“Covid-19 took the world by surprise. Economically, we will be feeling the effects of the lockdowns for years to come. I believe now is the time for businesses and individuals to start thinking about how the lockdowns have changed behaviours, and what proactive steps we need to take for the next five to ten years.”
She continued, “There have been a lot of things happening in the world. It is almost impossible to keep up with the news. Inflation is becoming a hot topic because of governments bolstering the effects of the lockdowns with stimulus packages.”
Being knowledgeable in certain aspects of her life, Fiona is trying to stay ahead by being proactive in her business. With some insights into the economy and the digital transformation age, she is using this knowledge to steer her business towards success.
“2020 changed my perspective on many things and taught me that the most important thing is to keep trying new ways to tackle life’s problems. The landscape of business is evolving, and everything is already going digital. This is good and convenient, but what we need is to port over brick-and-mortar experiences and values into the digital world.”
“That’s why I’m exploring MORR as a solution. They are a homegrown business that understands the value of humanising the relationship between a business and its clients. What is important to me as a business owner is being able to maintain strong relationships with my clients, and MORR allows me to do this digitally, using rewards. It’s a win-win since my clients get rewarded and also benefit from a personalised feel,” she added.
She believes we will eventually learn to live with the virus and the economic wheel will start moving again. Her immediate concern is whether businesses are ready for what is coming.
“In 2009, not many home bakers were on social media. I would have never taught in 2021, we would all be relying heavily on digital solutions to keep the economy running. What got me seriously thinking about enhancing my client’s experience was their unwavering support during one of the most unpredictable years on record.”
“Once things begin to ease up, we need to ask ourselves how consumer behaviours have changed. Have they been conditioned to buy online, or do they still prefer brick-and-mortar stores? Have clients preferences changed? How can you improve your relationship with them? Do you want to reward your loyal clients? If so, how do you show it?”
She says “To do that, we need to know our business and clients well. If you know your clients, you will build a relationship with them. If you treasure their patronage, you will reward their loyalty. If you love your business, you will give it as much exposure to the world as you can”.
“In 2020, I received a number of repeat orders from international clients who could not return to Malaysia to visit family and friends due to travel restrictions. They wanted their loved ones to feel special and remembered, so I arranged surprise deliveries, and caught the recepients reactions on video for my clients to enjoy. These are the small things that make what I do worthwhile.”
“Going digital bridges the gap between businesses and individuals and it is time we think about the business-to-consumer (B2C) experience. This is what I mean by humanizing the digital aspect of a business”.
Covid-19 pushed us towards a more digitalised world. But how we go about creating new customer experiences will shape the way we do business. With the rise of contactless shopping and digital wallets, businesses are forced to rethink how they operate and execute future endeavours, all while maintaining or elevating the customer experience. | <urn:uuid:7d95486f-91ba-4a2e-aa95-d63db866c601> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://morr.tawk.help/article/homegrown-bakery-velvet-vintage-has-morr-to-offer-malaysians-and-soon-the-world | 2023-09-27T11:46:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.974451 | 1,079 |

Get to a West Michigan Whitecaps game as soon as you can – the young Detroit Tigers prospects will not be there long. One of those must-watch prospects is right-handed pitcher Spencer Turnbull. He was drafted by the Tigers in 2014 in the second round. He completed two years of NCAA baseball at the University of Alabama.
In 2014, Turnbull pitched for the Lakeland Flying Tigers and the Connecticut Tigers. He pitched in 11 games in Lakeland, winning 2, and earning a 4.45 ERA with a 1.59 WHIP. He pitched three innings in Connecticut.
In 2015, he moved up to the West Michigan Whitecaps, where he was a part of the Midwest League Champions. He pitched in 22 games where he won 11 and lost 3. His ERA was 3.01 and his WHIP was 1.354. He had 106 strikeouts in 116.2 innings pitched. Throughout his career in the minor leagues, he has only allowed two home runs; he did not allow any all season in West Michigan.

He is currently a member of the 2016 Whitecaps roster in Grand Rapids, Michigan where he will play along with his fellow championship teammates Mike Gerber, Kade Scivicque, Artie Lewicki, and Christin Stewart. The tickets in Grand Rapids will be hot commodities as local fans will want to see their young favorites before they move up to the Erie Seawolves.
According to Fangraphs, Turnbull does deliver a quick fastball that can hit 97 mph. Most of his fastballs are in the low to mid-90s. He has an above-average slider and changeup that works. As a young pitcher, he has the speed, but he does have to work on his art and command. The Tigers will continue to work with Turnbull to help him develop into a pitcher like Alex Wilson, who throws in the middle innings. If he works hard, he could be a middle rotation pitcher, but he will have competition for a spot of that nature.
The Mississippi native had a successful pair of seasons with the University of Alabama. As a freshman in 2012, he was named the SEC Freshman of the Week at the end of April. He earned that honor for his start against South Carolina (the #4 team at the time) where he had a no-hitter going through seven innings before the game was suspended for lightning. During that game, he had five strikeouts and four walks. Through the rest of the 2012 season, he started in 10 games as a freshman – which is a notable amount of starts. He held the opposing batters to an average of .286. In 2013, he pitched a shutout against Auburn, ringing up four hits, four strikeouts, and three walks in nine innings. He finished his sophomore season with a 3.75 ERA.
Turnbull really showed what he was worth in September of 2015 with the Whitecaps. As the team was rallying for a playoff spot, he pitched in 6 2/3 innings against the Great Lakes Loons, holding them to one hit and two walks. The Whitecaps won 10-0 while Turnbull threw 12 strikeouts.
Hopefully, after his strong finish with the Whitecaps, Spencer Turnbull will continue to show what he is worth. If he can continue to clean up his command and continue to strikeout batters, it won’t be long before he makes his debut with in the Old English D. | <urn:uuid:94755482-de08-497f-b05b-d6fd9d3d921a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://motorcitybengals.com/2016/02/08/detroit-tigers-top-prospect-7-spencer-turnbull/ | 2023-09-27T12:42:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.982309 | 778 |
Scott Aubin from Chazy, NY was never in a war zone, but still witnessed two horrific events while he was serving in the United States Air Force, on the flight lines where he worked as a Crew Chief. Aubin says he dealt with the memories of those traumatic experiences, for years, by abusing alcohol. That led to his discharge from the Air Force, broken marriages, and even time in jail. After hitting rock bottom, and a suicide attempt, Aubin was treated for Post-Traumatic Stress and now travels across New York State, and the nation, as a speaker for the Department of Criminal Justice Services TRAUMA program, sharing his story about PTSD and suicide awareness. Scott Aubin joins us to talk about the book he has just co-written and published about his life before and after recovery.

Tourism has all the time been a part of the history of mankind. It is without doubt one of the driving forces behind the development of each nation. Tourism is journey for enterprise or pleasure; the extra sensible software of tourism is the industry of conducting enterprise, accommodating, attracting, and finally entertaining tourists. Tourism may be traced again in historical past to the fifth century B.C., when Hippocrates (father of drugs) made the first observations on tourism and located it a boon. From that point till at present, numerous developments in tourism have been made, notably with regard to inns and resorts, ticketing, transportation, entertainment, information services, delicacies, and sports activities and recreation. These developments have made at this time’s tourism the envy of the entire world.
Cultural tourism is tourism that is devoted to cultural displays and events, normally occurring outdoors the traditional setting for tourism. A great instance could be the art and music festivals that are carried out in China each Might, in its twelve different provinces. China is a nation with historic traditions and influences from many cultures. The festivals have a good time an array of traditions and history, including Confucius, the Buddha, the Yellow Emperor, in addition to many others.

Hospitality and Tourism in China is a rising business.

That is due to the relaxed travel legal guidelines and relaxed attitudes in direction of immigration. This inflow of tourists will, in turn, help improve the availability of guestworkers in Florida’s hospitality business. This sector of the tourism business employs a big variety of local residents.
One other vital facet of the tourism trade is its impact on Florida’s economy. Florida is without doubt one of the main states by way of its vacationer revenue. Subsequently, Florida’s tourism revenues are expected to rise repeatedly, as individuals journey to Florida for a wide range of functions. These people come from quite a lot of international locations the world over. As extra individuals journey to Florida every year, the demand for housing in Florida is also more likely to grow.

Although it has been more than 20 years since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, there are still traces of its legacy throughout St. Petersburg, whether it is an old emblem on a building or a sign referring to Leningrad, St. Petersburg’s former Soviet name. One such remnant is the Kirov Museum, dedicated to the life of Sergei Mironovich Kirov, an early Soviet public official and politician.
Kirov was a Soviet politician from 1918-1934. Unfortunately, information about his life during this period is somewhat untrustworthy, as most of the records are difficult to access. However, here is a general overview of his accomplishments and significance. At first, he served as a member of the Red Army, but then became First Secretary of the Communist Party in Azerbaijan. Quickly, he moved to up the ranks to First Secretary of Leningrad, focusing on industrialization and factory life. Although the records are murky, most claim that he was a favorite of Stalin’s. However, in 1934, Kirov was assassinated. There are still many disputes about his murder. Some claim that Stalin personally ordered Kirov’s assassination, and still others claim he was assassinated for having an affair with a married woman. Whatever the reason, his assassination was a main factor that led to Stalin conducting a series of intense purges. Four years after Kirov’s death, Stalin founded the Kirov Museum.
The Kirov Museum is a classic “house museum,” (a former residence turned into a museum) which are widely spread throughout Russia. For instance, the writers Dostoevsky, Blok, and Nabokov have similar museums. At the Kirov, climbing up to the fifth floor of what is now a government building, you pass several pieces of era-appropriate propaganda before entering into the admissions section. For students with an SPBGU student ID, admission is free. For those with an ISIC card, admission is just 60r, (~$2) and general admission is only 100r. Photography is free, and English versions of the plaques are available upon request.
The museum is composed of several of Kirov’s rooms, including his study, library, dining room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, rec room, and his official study. Every room has a plaque in Russian stating unique features of the room, such as his many gifts from various factories or his hobby of making and repairing shoes. In every room are portraits of Stalin. I had actually thought there might not be a portrait in the bedroom, but my friend pointed out several small, passport-sized photos on the dresser. Even now, the apartment is considered quite luxurious.
The museum also occupies the fourth floor – which houses biographical information about Kirov and historical information of the period. Notable in the collection are Kirov’s personal letters, his private library, which includes his copies of the Communist Manifesto and Das Kapital, and the outfit in which he was assassinated. The museum is usually not crowded, and the babushki that attend to the exhibits are incredibly willing to speak with you in Russian about Kirov and about St. Petersburg in general.

Right wing National Councilor and entrepreneur Magdalena Martullo-Blocher is known for her “Seven Thinking Steps”. Now she offers new advice – this time on the energy crisis.
Magdalena Martullo-Blocher, SVP National Councilor from Graubünden and head of EMS-Chemie, likes to give advice. This ranges from advice to the staff of her company, for example, on how to make decisions. Sometimes, however, she also gives suggestions to politicians or even to the people as a whole.
This time she explains to entrepreneurs how they should behave in the energy crisis.
“My advice: Clarify whether an emergency power system is worthwhile,” she wrote in a guest article in Friday’s Schweizerische Gewerbezeitung. Plants for emergency power generation are available and can also be rented, the EMS-Chemie boss continued.
However, the right-wing politician warned that those responsible would also have to think about organizing the diesel supply.
Keeping an eye on costs
“If possible, do not conclude long-term electricity and gas contracts now,” Martullo-Blocher also recommended. ‘After all, prices are likely to fall again in the spring,’ she explained. ‘Saving energy is good,’ she said, because ‘energies are also costs.’
“If you have oil or gas heating, wait to use it,” she also noted. And on nice days and when the power grid is working, ‘solar panels can generate additional electricity,’ she added.
However, the self-appointed energy expert added that entrepreneurs should have no illusions about the quantities produced.
Raising sales prices
After all this, Martullo-Blocher also explained the next step for the country’s entrepreneurs: The higher energy costs – including those of an emergency power system – would have to be passed on to customers quickly and comprehensively.
Otherwise, the economic slowdown and other cost increases could namely “break the neck” of the entrepreneurs, as she further wrote.
Falling profit margins
And in a military tone she continued: “We entrepreneurs have to show the population and the politicians the connections and fight back.” After all, she said, everyone had ‘surrendered to utopias and unrealistic, superficial promises of left-green.’
It is to be hoped that entrepreneurs will be successful if they follow these new “Thinking Steps” of Martullo-Blocher. The boss of EMS-Chemie seems to know what it’s all about.
In her specialty chemicals company, she was able to increase sales in the half-year, but profits did not increase to the same extent, so profit margins fell, as muula.ch reported. | <urn:uuid:0c0f5280-458a-4c84-a278-322492070976> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://muula.ch/en/actual-en/new-thinking-steps-from-martullo-blocher-magdalena-ems-chemie-energy-tips-svp-profit-margins-solar-power-cost-savings-emergency-power-generator-electricity-diesel/ | 2023-09-27T10:59:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.95517 | 622 |
Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin was on the passenger list of a jet which crashed killing all on board, Russia’s civil aviation authority has said.
Earlier, Wagner-linked Telegram channel Grey Zone reported the Embraer aircraft was shot down by air defences in the Tver region, north of Moscow.
The private jet, which was flying from Moscow to St Petersburg, was carrying seven passengers and three crew.
Prigozhin led a failed mutiny against the Russian armed forces in June.
Grey Zone said local residents heard two bangs before the crash and saw two vapour trails.
Tass news agency said the plane, an Embraer Legacy belonging to Prigozhin, caught fire on hitting the ground.
The aircraft had been in the air for less than half an hour, it said.
An investigation has been launched into the crash and emergency services are searching the site.
Another news agency, Ria, said eight bodies had been recovered.
Grey Zone reports that a second business jet owned by Prigozhin landed safely in the Moscow region. | <urn:uuid:6bc6ff1a-e228-428a-b3cb-51758efe0df6> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://mx24online.com/general-news/wagner-boss-yevgeny-prigozhin-presumed-dead-after-russia-plane-crash/ | 2023-09-27T12:17:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.972029 | 233 |

Trade Findings and Adjustments 01-26-23
Keve Bybee – firstname.lastname@example.org
What are we looking at?
- Earnings and rate hike decision on Wednesday
- If we get a .25% rate hike market will continue higher
- If we get a .50% rate hike the market will be surprised as it expects a .25% hike and stocks may fall
- My feeling is that we will get a .50% bps hike as inflation hasn’t come down enough
- Feb, March, May rate hikes coming up
BA – 1/25 earnings report
- Missed numbers BUT sold a lot of planes
- Should be cash flow positive this year
How do we protect for earnings?
- Usually put protection on around 2 weeks before earnings unless the stock is having a great pre earnings run. Just to avoid volatility causing expensive options prices.
- We will buy around 5 – 6 weeks of time to avoid time decay of options expiring in that month.
- Typically buying ATM strike prices
- Decide if we need to “roll up” the puts to higher strike prices if the stock has run up, or let them run.
- IF we roll up, the math has to make sense: we need to be gaining more dollars per share that we are protecting than we are spending to buy a higher strike price. | <urn:uuid:6fa77ce9-38e6-4a63-b4c7-2ead747923e6> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://myhurleyinvestment.com/6091-2/ | 2023-09-27T12:50:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.932788 | 290 |
- Starting treatment early is key and may prevent the need for a hospital admission and the distress this can be for you and your child.
- As soon as you see the symptoms of a cold, infection or a known trigger start using your child’s reliever (blue) inhaler 2-4 puffs every 4 hours for around 4 days when their symptoms are at their worst.
- You may have been given an asthma plan for your child which will tell you what to do if they are feeling worse or if you notice they are wheezing. If you do not have an asthma plan, ask about this at your next appointment.
- If they are on a preventer inhaler they should continue to use this as normal.
If there is no improvement or you are worried about your child make an appointment to see their GP or nurse for review – there are out of hours GP services or A&E, day or night – no one should delay seeking medical advice if you are worried.

UFO Investigators Murdered: Who Is Killing Them and Why
There’s still too much suspicion raised when it comes to various deaths of UFO investigators. It is to frequent and they are too many. And this has been going on since 1947. And still does. It’s all from death by gunshot to the head.
Death by probable poisoning. Death by alleged suicides, Death by strangulation. Deaths by implantation of radioactive isotopes, Deaths by implantation of deadly viruses. The list goes on and on.
The suspicious deaths of UFO investigators John E Mack, Lloyd Pie, Alistair Beckham, Mr.X, Uyrangê Hollanda, Phil Schneider, Ronald Rummel, Dr. Alan J Hynek, Danny Casolaro, Dr Karla Turner, Ron Johnson, Con Routine, Ann Livingston as well as the deaths of a host of researchers in the past and many more, only add emphasis to a reality with which many of the more aware UFOIogists are now quite familiar.
Not only is UFO research a potentially dangerous area, but the life span of the average serious investigator falls far short compared to the national average.
Because if you investigate this you will find that, many UFO researchers working on their research in the 1970s and 1980s died under some very mysterious circumstances, and many things points towards that may have been killed. This is also the conclusion reached by an amateur astronomer, a former U.S. government adviser Timothy Hood.
Hood made this statement at an international conference in Amsterdam dedicated to search for extraterrestrial intelligence. And I believe his statement to be true. But for all the researchers trying to find extraterrestrial life and revealing the truth it’s still unpleasant. Hood’s conclusion was prompted by a 30-year study of this topic.
“In a relatively short time, 25 people who worked in the space field died for various reasons. When discovered this tragic phenomenon, seriously believed that it had to do with aliens. According to Timothy Hood, these deaths were not accidental, but rather, were the work of special services that eliminated the experts because they knew too much.”
Let’s take a look at some of these unusual “deaths” allegedly done by suicide…
Captain Uyrangê Hollanda – Brazil
During the months of September through December 1977, the Brazillian Air-Force under the command of a Captain Uyrangê Hollanda, was sent to the island of Colares to investigate a series of incidents in which over 80 people reported being attacked by beams of light from UFO’s, paralyzing two of them and leaving puncture and burn marks on their skin.
The investigation was codenamed “Operation Saucer”. This operation collated over 15 hours of film, 500 photos, and hundreds of documents with detailed drawings and interviews with over 3000 witness’.
The files were to remain classified by the Brazillian Government until 1997, when UFO investigator’s A J Gevaerd and Marco Petite of UFO Magazine were allowed partial access. They were also contacted by the then retired Cpt Hollanda who gave them a vivid recollection of the whole series of events.
In 1997, two decades after the operation, Captain Uyrangê gave an interview to researchers Ademar José Gevaerd (editor of UFO Magazine, founder and president of the CBPDV (Centro Brasileiro de Pesquisas de Discos Voadores, or Brazilian Center of Flying Saucer Research), national director of the Mutual UFO Network) and Marco Antônio Petit. In this interview, he recounted his experiences living alongside his men.
Some three months after the interview, he was found dead hanging by his own belt.”
In early August, 1993, Ron Rummell (also known as Creston) was found dead in a Portland, Oregon park. He had been shot through the mouth and was supposedly holding a gun in his hand. The police labeled it a suicide and cremated the body the next day without performing an autopsy or notifying relatives.
Allegedly having shot himself in the mouth with a pistol. Friends say, that no blood was found on the pistol barrel and the handle of the weapon was free of fingerprints.
In addition, according to information now circulating, the suicide note left by the deceased was written by a left-handed person. Rummel was right-handed. Perspiration on the body smelled like sodium pentothal.
Sverdlovsk Case – Russia
This entire alleged incident was actually reported on a 1998 TNT special, “The Secret KGB UFO Files,” and hosted by former James Bond actor Roger Moore.
The program showed startling filmed segments of the alleged UFO crash — as well as several minutes of the supposed autopsy of the dead alien.
According to records the UFO crashed in 1969. We believe that this case is true. But we don’t believe the actual autopsy was genuine.
This was probably added later and had really nothing to do with the Sverdlovsk crash.
And In April and May 1979, an unusual anthrax epidemic occurred in Sverdlovsk, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Soviet officials attributed it to consumption of contaminated meat. U.S. agencies attributed it to inhalation of spores accidentally released at a military microbiology facility in the city.
Epidemiological data show that most victims worked or lived in a narrow zone extending from the military facility to the southern city limit. Farther south, livestock died of anthrax along the zone’s extended axis.
Many scientist allegedly also died during this outbreak. So the “TNT special” crew had a hard time getting in touch with several of the scientists who dealt with the craft.
And It is now concluded that the escape of an aerosol of anthrax pathogen at the military facility caused the outbreak. Convenient?
U.S. Secretary of Defense – James Forrestal
May 1949, the life of the first U.S. Secretary of Defense, James Forrestal, came to an end when he plunged to his death, from a window of the Bethesda, Maryland, National Naval Medical Center.
Rumors abound that Forrestal’s classified, government work gave him unique access to the U.S. Government’s most guarded UFO secrets of all – secrets that Forrestal was intent on disclosing to the world, had his untimely and suspicious death not got in the way.
Lets also take a look at Alaistair Beckham and his fellow colleagues as yet an example. Were these scientists victims of a corrupt defense industry? Have they been espionage pawns? Are the deaths nothing more than an extraordinary coincidence?
Did 22 British SDI Researchers really ALL Commit Suicide?
This is from the “Sheldon list.” The famous American writer Sidney Sheldon, working on his novel “The End of the World”, drew attention to a series of mysterious deaths among British specialists developing space weapons.
Fifty-year-old Alistair Beckham was a successful British aerospace- projects engineer. His specialty was designing computer software for sophisticated naval defense systems.
Like hundreds of other British scientists, he was working on a pilot program for America’s Strategic Defense Initiative better known as Star Wars. And like at least 21 of his colleagues, he died a bizarre, violent death.

ELECTROCUTION–John Ferry, 60, assistant marketing director for Marconi. In August 1988 Ferry was found dead in a company-owned apartment, the stripped leads of an electrical cord in his mouth. Foul play has not been ruled out.
ELECTROCUTION–Alistair Beckham, 50, software engineer, Plessey. In August 1988 Beckham’s lifeless body was found in the garden shed behind his house. Bare wires, which ran to a live main, were wrapped around his chest. Now suicide note was found, and police habe not ruled out foul play.
ASPHYXIATION–Andrew Hall, 33, engineering manager, British Aero- space. In September 1988 Hall was found dead in his car, asphyxiated by fumes from a hose that was attached to the tail pipe. Friends said he was well liked, had everything to live for. Verdict: Suicide.
When you collect the information and put together in these cases, you can clearly see that there are a surprising huge number of ufologists who have died in the most strange ways and circumstances since the 1950s.
Prominent activist Stephen Bassett, supports the idea that the U.S. government has regularly murdered innocent citizens who have tried probing into UFO cases like Roswell or who have tried to get the Government to reveal the truth about UFOs.”
But we hope that in the 21st century, the death of these people, who died in search of truth, will not be in vain. | <urn:uuid:7cb7fae5-8edb-4f9c-b4f2-d988c2229ea3> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://mysterious.binodon24live.com/ufo-investigators-murdered-who-is-killing-them-and-why-2/ | 2023-09-27T12:07:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.972442 | 2,988 |
Frequently Asked Questions
CBN Sleep Solution is a unique formulation designed to improve not only the quality of your sleep but also to enhance your body's ability to repair, recover, and regenerate during rest. It's made with a blend of powerful botanicals clinically studied for their ability to:
- Promote calm and relaxation
- Support deep and regenerative sleep
- Relieve tension, pain, and inflammation
- Enhance mental clarity and brain health
- Boost antioxidant defenses
- Repair gut health
- Enhance immune function
Both CBN and CBD are cannabinoids derived from the hemp plant. CBD is well known for its broad therapeutic potential, including promoting calm, brain function, immune function, and homeostasis (biological and chemical balance). CBN, or cannabinol, also has similar effects, but it's often associated more with promoting a good night's sleep.
Full-Spectrum CBD and CBN belong to a class of compounds called cannabinoids. Found in the cannabis and hemp plants and known for their therapeutic properties, they are studied to promote calm, improve mental function, reduce inflammation, relieve pain, enhance immune function, boost antioxidant defenses, and support deep and restorative sleep.
All 4 ingredients interact with your GABAergic system for calm and relaxation you can feel in minutes. GABA is a neurotransmitter that plays a central role in calm, relaxation, and sleep.
- CBD and CBN enhance GABA receptor activity
- Valerian Root directly stimulates GABA receptors
- Passionflower increases GABA production
Together, they support healthy GABA activity, from the GABA receptors' health and capacity to the amount of GABA in the brain.
Melatonin is an effective and potent nootropic and sleep aid, but since it's a hormone, not everybody needs it to catch some zzz's. So, we created a more inclusive product.
Yes! While CBN Sleep Solution is melatonin-free, it still has clinical-level doses of our organic full-spectrum CBD.
The ingredients. They both contain Full-spectrum CBD, Valerian Root, and Passionflower, but CBD Sleep Solution contains Melatonin. Instead of melatonin, CBN Sleep Solution contains CBN.
The choice to switch depends on your individual needs. If you were satisfied with CBD Sleep Solution and don't have any issues with Melatonin, there might be no need to switch. However, if you prefer a Melatonin-free solution, then CBN Sleep Solution could be an excellent choice for you.
While individual results may vary, the CBN Sleep Solution is designed to provide similar benefits to the CBD Sleep Solution in terms of promoting relaxation and a good night's sleep. The primary difference is that CBN Sleep Solution does this without the use of Melatonin, a hormone that plays a central role in regulating your sleep-wake cycle.
You naturally produce less melatonin as you age, but certain lifestyle factors can disrupt production prematurely.
CBD Sleep Solution helps address melatonin deficiencies caused by:
- Prolonged stress
- Late night blue light exposure
- Shift work
- Jet lag
- Medications like NSAIDs (a type of pain killer), antidepressants, and beta-blockers
If the above don't apply to you, or you prefer a melatonin-free alternative, CBN Sleep Solution helps address sleep performance issues caused by:
- Stress, anxiety, or a racing mind
- Chronic pain or inflammation
- Sleep disorders (like sleep apnea or restless legs syndrome) can disrupt sleep
- Consuming caffeine or alcohol too close to bedtime
- Irregular sleep schedules
- Lack of physical activity
- Late-night meals
- A noisy environment, an uncomfortable bed, or a room that's too hot or too cold
- Hormonal changes during menstrual cycles, perimenopause, and menopause
As both products contain ingredients designed to promote relaxation and sleep, it's generally not necessary or recommended to take both simultaneously. It's best to try one product and gauge its effects. If you're unsure, please consult with a healthcare professional.
CBN has been studied for its sleep-promoting properties, so the CBN in this product, along with the calming properties of CBD and the herbs Valerian Root and Passionflower, work together to promote calm and relaxation conducive to tranquil sleep.
CBN is also known to be sedative and relieve tension, pain, and inflammation, helping you overcome factors that make it difficult to fall or stay asleep while promoting recovery.
Everyone's body responds differently to changes in supplement routine. If you're considering switching, monitor your body's response carefully. If you notice any undesirable effects, discontinue use and consult with your healthcare provider.
Both the CBD Sleep Solution and the CBN Sleep Solution have a similar effect onset times, which can vary depending on individual factors such as metabolism, body weight, and overall health.
Generally, we recommend taking it no sooner than 2 hours before you plan on sleeping, and no later than 30 minutes before. | <urn:uuid:24f624b7-1ae9-475b-93f8-416a35581125> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://mysupplyco.com/product/cbn-sleep-solution-melatonin-free/ | 2023-09-27T11:24:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.934522 | 1,031 |
Welcome to our comprehensive guide to house extension costs in 2023. At My Tradsman.ie, we understand the importance of accurate and detailed information when it comes to planning and budgeting for a house extension project. In this guide, we will provide you with in-depth insights into the factors that influence house extension costs, as well as valuable tips to help you make informed decisions. Let’s dive in!
1. Understanding House Extensions
A house extension is a popular solution for homeowners who need additional space without the hassle of moving. It involves expanding the existing structure of a house to create more living area, whether it’s adding extra rooms, extending existing rooms, or creating new functional spaces. Before embarking on a house extension project, it’s essential to consider various factors that can impact the overall cost.
Factors Affecting House Extension Costs
The cost of a house extension can vary significantly depending on several factors. By understanding these key elements, you can estimate the budget required for your project more accurately:
- Size and Complexity: The size and complexity of the extension will have a direct impact on the cost. Larger and more complex extensions generally require more materials, labour, and time to complete.
- Design and Specifications: The architectural design and specifications of the extension, such as the type of materials used and the level of customization required, will influence the overall cost.
- Foundation and Structural Work: If your extension involves significant structural changes or requires additional foundation work, it will contribute to the overall cost.
- Building Regulations and Permits: Compliance with building regulations and obtaining the necessary permits can add to the project costs.
- Location: The location of your property can affect the cost of materials, labor, and permits. Regional variations in prices should be considered when estimating the budget.
- Finishes and Fixtures: The choice of finishes, fixtures, and fittings will impact the overall cost. Higher-quality materials and finishes will generally result in higher expenses.
- Utilities and Services: Extending utilities such as plumbing, electrical wiring, and HVAC systems to the new space may require additional investment.
- Professional Fees: Hiring architects, engineers, and other professionals for design and project management will add to the overall cost.
House Extension Cost Breakdown
To provide you with a clearer picture, here’s a breakdown of the typical costs involved in a house extension project:
- Design and Planning: This includes architectural design fees, survey costs, and obtaining necessary permits. It generally accounts for around 10-15% of the total project cost.
- Construction and Materials: The actual construction work and materials form the bulk of the project cost, usually accounting for 70-80% of the total. This includes labor, building materials, structural work, and finishes.
- Utilities and Services: Extending utilities to the new space, such as plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems, can account for around 5-10% of the total cost.
- Contingency: It’s advisable to set aside a contingency budget of around 5-10% to account for unforeseen expenses or design changes during the construction process.
2. Estimating House Extension Costs
While every house extension project is unique, it’s helpful to have a ballpark figure to start your budgeting process. Here are some rough estimates for different types of house extensions based on average costs:
- Single-Storey Extension: A single-storey extension typically costs between $1,500 and $3,000 per square meter, depending on the complexity of the design and finishes.
- Double-Storey Extension: A double-storey extension is generally more cost-effective compared to building two separate storeys. It can range from $2,000 to $4,000 per square meter, considering factors such as structural work and additional utilities.
- Loft Conversion: Converting an existing loft space into a livable area is an excellent option for adding space. The cost can vary between $1,200 and $2,500 per square meter, depending on the level of insulation, finishes, and structural modifications required.
- Basement Extension: Creating a basement extension involves significant excavation and structural work. Costs can range from $2,000 to $4,500 per square meter, considering factors such as site conditions and waterproofing requirements.
Remember that these are rough estimates, and it’s essential to consult with professionals to get accurate cost estimates tailored to your specific project.
3. Maximizing Your Budget
Now that you have an understanding of the factors influencing house extension costs, let’s explore some strategies to make the most of your budget:
1. Plan and Design Efficiently
Investing time and effort into well-thought-out planning and design can help optimize the use of space and minimize unnecessary costs. Consider consulting with an experienced architect or designer to ensure your extension meets your needs while remaining within budget.
2. Choose Materials Wisely
Opt for materials that strike a balance between quality and cost. Work with your contractor to explore affordable yet durable options that align with your aesthetic preferences.
3. Get Multiple Quotes
Obtain quotes from several reputable builders or contractors to compare prices and services. Be cautious of extremely low-cost estimates, as they may indicate a compromise in quality.
4. Consider Value Engineering
Collaborate with your design and construction team to identify cost-saving alternatives without compromising the overall functionality and aesthetics of your extension.
5. Stick to the Plan
While it’s tempting to make changes during the construction phase, they can add to the cost. Minimize variations once the project is underway to avoid unexpected expenses.
6. Regular Communication
Maintain open and regular communication with your builder or contractor to stay updated on the progress and address any concerns promptly. This helps ensure that the project stays on track and within budget.
In conclusion, planning a house extension requires careful consideration of various factors that influence costs. By understanding the key elements involved, estimating the budget, and implementing cost-saving strategies, you can embark on your house extension project with confidence.

Johnson Gichuhi grew up knowing that his father had died, but all along, the man was serving life in prison. He narrated to ‘Turning Point’ how he came to terms with the truth.
Tell us a bit about your father.
His name is Simon Wandue Maina and he comes from Redhill village. There is a lot that I still don’t know about him but I am getting to know him more. Back in the year 1996, he was convicted of robbery with violence and given the death penalty. My father was found guilty of the offence and he never had a lawyer to defend him. After his conviction, he was taken to Kamiti Maximum Prison.
How long has he been in prison?
He is now serving his 24th year behind bars. My father is very courageous and hopeful that one day he will get out of those walls and that’s one thing I like about him. In the year 1998, he filed his first appeal but it was not successful because he did not have a lawyer to represent him. He was sent back to jail. Later on, his sentence was commuted to life imprisonment. His second quest to make an appeal was dismissed and he was sent back to jail having exhausted all appeals.
How was it like growing up with your father in prison?
My mother is very understanding; she is a blessing. She struggled to take me through primary and secondary school without any support. We had to skip lunch in order to have a meal at dinner. However, my mother never mentioned to me anything about my dad being in prison, the reason being she feared interfering with my studies. She always thought I would become stressed and lose hope. I was always thinking about my dad’s whereabouts but I could never ask my mother because it never ended well. So, I was fully convinced that we never had a father.
How did his absence affect your childhood?
I remember very well how I used to see my agemates with their fathers having a great time. It seemed like having a dad was the best thing ever. I never had the opportunity to have a father when I was growing up. The struggles my mother went through in search of food would have been easier too. His arrest must have had a great impact on my life.
Who told you that you actually had a father, was it your mum?
No, it was actually my aunt – my father’s sister – who lives in the US, and who I met on Facebook. She used to ‘wave’ at me online and send messages to my inbox but I always ignored her. One day, I decided to reply to her message and I was shocked when she told me there was a possibility that I was her nephew. She later called and said that she had been looking for me for a long time. After talking for a while, she started talking about my dad. All that time, my mother never knew what was happening.
What did you do after getting this information?
I called my mother to ask her if she knew the lady and she was astonished. She explained everything to me in tears, saying that she wanted to keep it a secret since this would have affected our lives. When I learnt that he was in prison, I felt very dejected. My dad had served 21 years in prison by the time I came to know he existed. I really felt sorry for him and since then, I vowed to help in any way that I could until he regains his freedom.
When was the first time you actually met your father?
My aunt travelled from the US and together, we went to Naivasha Maximum Prison where my father was being held, and that was the first time I saw him. It was like a dream come true. I felt like crying but I had to hold back my tears because I am a police officer, and we were accompanied by our younger cousins.
What was your first impression of him?
At the time, he was recovering from typhoid and I could tell that his health was not good at all. But he smiled all through the visit and we made a happy reunion. Since that time, I have been going to visit him on Sundays, sometimes with my cousins and friends.
Has he ever painted a picture to you of how life is in prison?
Yes, he always shares his experiences behind bars. He says life in prison is not easy at all, and they have to with many challenges like eating the same meals day in day out. For instance, in December last year, he told me that they ate two chapatis each and it meant a lot to them. He also talks about prisoners who commit suicide and others who die when they lose hope. It is a very bad experience.
What advice does he give you whenever you visit him?
He gives me ideas on how to make it in life. He is a teacher by profession and relates very well with the officers and fellow inmates. They describe him as a good adviser. He has taught almost half of them, others being lawyers who were released a long time ago. | <urn:uuid:27ec77b6-acbf-46e1-ae07-da820775042a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://nairobiwire.com/2021/08/my-story-i-believed-my-father-was-dead-for-21-years.html | 2023-09-27T13:02:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.99628 | 1,049 |
Wireless networks are essential for today's modern business. The ability to work from anywhere, anytime is a huge advantage of wireless networks, and the need for reliable connectivity is more important than ever. However, not all wireless network providers are created equal; what may be true for one company might not be true for another.
Businesses need a strategic and practical approach to buying and deploying wireless networks to get the most out of them. The issues mentioned below are essential for any business today, whether you're a small startup or an established corporation.
The following is a list of the top issues for wireless network providers that any business should consider:
Poor Network coverage and Reliability
Do not settle for anything less than perfect when it comes to network coverage and reliability. A strong wireless signal that keeps on working is essential for any business.
This is crucial especially if you're in an industry where no network access would be problematic, such as healthcare or construction. If your chosen provider can't offer reliable coverage throughout all locations of your business, then it is not the right choice.
Limited Hotspot Diversity
One of the biggest issues related to wireless networks is dead spots within your company's walls. Dead spots occur when a business leases more hotspots than they need, cutting costs by deploying less coverage than required.
Having dead spots on your network will stifle employee productivity and waste time and resources, and having more hotspots than you need will cost more in the long run because of increased maintenance costs. Do not skimp on coverage or leasing too many hotspots for your company if you want to stay successful.
Inefficient Deployment and Management
Choosing a provider that can offer seamless deployment with minimal downtime is essential for adopting a wireless network.
If you're planning to have your employees work remotely, you need to be sure that the provider can set up a reliable and secure network within a short time of deployment without affecting productivity or creating security issues for the company's data.
Lack of Wireless solutions for Vertical Markets
Vertical markets such as construction, manufacturing, and healthcare require some special attention when it comes to wireless networks. These industries always have a unique set of requirements that need to be addressed to implement the right network technology within their walls, ensuring that everything is perfectly integrated from day one.
Having a provider that can offer tailored solutions for vertical markets will make it much easier when adopting a new wireless network, saving time and money by having everything set up perfectly right from the start.
Unreliable Data security and Encryption
Security breaches are becoming more common these days, so businesses should consider data security an essential part of their wireless networks.
Even if your business does not handle confidential data, you still need to be sure that your employee's personal data and other company information are protected at all times.
Data security should be a key feature of any wireless network because wireless networks are typically more susceptible to hacking or data infiltrations than wired networks.
If you plan to use open WiFi to give customers free access to the Internet, you need to make sure that all your employees' devices are protected against malware and other potential threats.
Low-Quality Speed and Bandwidth
Another common issue amongst wireless network providers is poor speed and bandwidth. Poor speeds result in the slow transmission of data between devices, which can create security issues and affect the productivity of business operations because employees will have to wait longer for files and documents to be transmitted between devices.
Poor bandwidth (limited data transfer capacity) means that your wireless devices will not work properly and can result in slow Internet connections for employees and customers.
High-speed, reliable bandwidth is essential for businesses that use their wireless networks for collaboration or other business activities where file sharing and remote access are essential. Having the right provider for your business can make all the difference between a successful deployment and slow, ineffective technology.

What you need to know:
- UTIs are quite common in women and in about 20 per cent of all women, the UTIs are recurrent — they keep coming back.
- Some people may have recurrent UTIs for no good reason, while in others, it may be due to abnormalities in the structures of the urinary system, or it may be due to pregnancy, steroid use, spinal cord injury, nerve problems, kidney stones or some immune disorders.
My wife has been having recurrent urinary tract infections and surprisingly she blames me and accuses me of being unfaithful. Are UTIs sexually transmitted? And if not, what could be causing my wife this problem?
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are infections within the urinary tract, that is, either in the kidney, ureter, bladder or urethra. UTIs are quite common in women and in about 20 per cent of all women, the UTIs are recurrent — they keep coming back. Some people may have recurrent UTIs for no good reason, while in others, it may be due to abnormalities in the structures of the urinary system, or it may be due to pregnancy, steroid use, spinal cord injury, nerve problems, kidney stones or some immune disorders.
In most cases, the bacteria that cause UTIs are the ones that live in the intestines, and they can travel from the anus to the urethral opening (where urine comes out), since the two are not far from each other. Women also have a very short urethra (the tube that carries urine to the outside) compared to men, which makes it easier for bacteria to travel up to the bladder and cause infection there. The bacteria can also get to the urethra when using a dirty toilet due to splashing, and also due to the close contact during sexual intercourse. In addition to this, when there is a sexually transmitted infection, it can cause infection within the reproductive structures and also within the urinary system. Regardless of whether it originated from an STI or not, having multiple partners increases the risk of acquiring sexually transmitted infections and breeds an environment of mistrust that can destroy a relationship.
Having a UTI may cause a burning or irritating sensation when passing urine, feeling very pressed, urine leaking out before getting to the toilet, going to urinate many times, even though very little urine comes out; change in urine colour and/or smell, blood in urine, lower abdominal pain, lower back pain, fever and chills, nausea, bloating and feeling tired.
It is important to note that someone can have UTI-like symptoms that are caused by inflammation of the urinary bladder (cystitis) due to other causes other than infection. These include some medications, radiation, other chronic illnesses and interstitial cystitis. UTIs are treated with antibiotics after a urine test. Due to the recurrence, she should also have a urine culture done. She may also benefit from a vaginal swab for analysis and culture. For recurrent UTIs, she may be given a low dose antibiotic to take over a long time. She may also be advised to take an antibiotic every time after sexual intercourse or take antibiotics for a short time (one or two days) every time she gets symptoms. She can also learn how to do a urine test at home every time she gets symptoms to make sure that it is a urine infection. To prevent urinary tract infections, she can do this:
Go to the toilet as soon as she needs to and empty the bladder completely
Always use a clean toilet
Take a lot of water daily, not just when there’s an infection
Wear cotton underwear and loose-fitting trousers
Avoid using scented soaps, feminine hygiene products and douches
Wipe herself from front to back
Both of you should clean the genital area thoroughly before sexual intercourse and urinate immediately after
Barrier contraceptive methods such as condoms, diaphragms and spermicides can cause irritation, so consider using another method. When using a condom, make sure you use a good lubricant.
I sexual intercourse with this lady a month ago and now she says she’s pregnant. I doubt it is mine since we used protection and besides that, I found out that the pregnancy is four weeks and a few days old. How do I get DNA done before that child is born?
In the first place, it is possible for a pregnancy to occur even when you have used a barrier method/protection such as a condom. This may be due to contact with pre-ejaculate fluid if the condom was not used throughout the encounter. The other reasons for this would be rupture of the condom or spillage during withdrawal/removal. It is possible to do paternity DNA testing during pregnancy by isolating the baby’s DNA from the mother’s blood between 15 and 20 weeks of pregnancy. If the result is inconclusive, it needs to be confirmed by using amniotic fluid or chorionic villus sampling, where a sample is taken from the tissues surrounding the growing fetus. These procedures are invasive and may trigger a miscarriage so it is best to wait for the baby to be born. For any of these tests, you need the consent of the mother and the possible father(s) and you may require legal consent, and the tests require a complex medical procedure.
In regards to the reported age of the pregnancy, medical practitioners count the age of a pregnancy from the day the last periods started, not from the day someone got pregnant. For example, if someone got pregnant four weeks ago and they had their periods two weeks before that, the pregnancy is said to be six weeks old. This counting system, however, is not exact, so you cannot determine paternity definitively based on that.
What does the word genetic mean? Is it different from generic drugs?
Genetics refers to the biological make-up of an individual based on the genes they have. Genes are units of biological material found in our cells that “dictate” how our body develops and different traits that we get. We get a set of genes from each of our parents, which means that traits are passed down from our parents to us such as skin colour, hair colour, eye colour and blood type. Genes could also carry traits that cause disease or that make it easier for someone to get a particular disease, for example hypertension, diabetes, sickle cell disease, some cancers, some psychiatric disorders, among others. This means that there are some diseases that we are at higher risk of developing if our parents or other close relatives also had them.
The active ingredient in a drug is known as the generic name of that drug. This is different from the brand name, which is the name given to that drug by a specific company. For example, the active ingredient chlorpheniramine (generic name) is known by the brand name piriton, allergy relief, Nyquil, Chlorphen ...
Another use of the term generic is in reference to medication that is made to be similar to the original medicine that was developed by a specific company. This generic medication is similar to the original medication, but is usually cheaper since the company that developed the original molecule had to bear the cost of developing the drug, taking it through research and drug trials and seek approval from the relevant authorities.

Comedian and podcast host Joe Rogan recently lambasted Jann Wenner, the founder of Rolling Stone, over his assertion that the government should regulate the internet.
“You want the government to regulate the internet?” Rogan asked.
“Absolutely,” Wenner replied. “You trust the people who got us into the Iraq War under false pretenses to regulate the internet? Do you think that makes any sense?” Rogan responded.
“Well wait a minute, I would not-the people that got us into the Iraq War-,” Wenner said.
“It’s the government,” Rogan shot back. “[It] was the, no no. Was the politicians [sic],” Wenner stated. “It’s the government,” Rogan reiterated.
“In the end, yes It’s the government,” the Rolling Stone founder admitted. “But who else is going to regulate Joe?” he added.
“But if they’re going to be in power and regulate the internet, they’re going to regulate it in a way that suits their best interests,” Rogan replied. “The same way they do in the banking industry, the same way they do with the environment, the same they do with energy, the same way they do with everything. What represents their interests? You’re talking about so much money involved in disseminating information [in] a very very particular way.”
The founder of Rolling Stone magazine wants the government to regulate the internet.

“The richest companies in the world right now are the internet companies. [They’re] are rich beyond belief,” Wenner said.
Rogan asserted that although the internet as a technology is a “disruptive thing,” the country needs a truth-respecting ethic as the United States moves forward.
“Yeah, but it’s a disruptive thing that has never existed before. I think it exists and I think where we’re at is where we’re at. I think we need to move forward collectively as a country with an ethic that respects truth and that appreciates opinions and reality and an understanding of things. That’s not necessarily possible with corporate interests involved in dissemination of information,” Rogan stated.
“But there’s no way to do that except through the government,. Excuse me, there’s no way you can do that except through the government,” the Rolling Stone founder reiterated.
“Why is that?” Rogan replied.
“Human nature is not going to change,” Wenner said.
“The government’s not going to change,” Rogan replied.
“But the government is capable of change,” Wenner said. “For example, the government regulates the food supply.”
Rogan wasted no time in making his move in the verbal judo match. “Why have they let glyphosate [infest] all of our foods?” Rogan asked.
“Let’s take, let’s one thing at a time [sic],” Wenner mumbled.
Rogan pointed out that glyphosate, an herbicide in the food of Americans, was a problem. Wenner agreed, though he opted to change the subject.
The founder of Rolling Stone, an outlet whose reputation has been forever tarnished by its now-known liberal bias, pivoted and attempted to support the argument for government regulation by using the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as an example.
“Again, don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Let’s take the SEC or the Food and Drug Administration, which regulates Big Pharma. On the one hand we’ve had a very safe supply of drugs in the country, you know,” Wenner alleged.
“Safe?” Rogan asked.
“The drugs are tested, you know. You don’t get too many bad drugs, you know, prescribed drugs, out on the market,” Wenner alleged.
“25% of all drugs approved by the FDA get recalled,” Rogan responded flatly. | <urn:uuid:000797f0-e7f1-4bdf-98cb-23b68b4c04e7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://nationalfile.com/joe-rogan-slams-rolling-stone-founder-jann-wenner-over-internet-regulation-fda/ | 2023-09-27T12:18:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.939453 | 961 |

GOP Rep. Ralph Norman (SC-5) has announced his opposition to establishment leader Kevin McCarthy’s Speaker of the House campaign and told Real America’s Voice in a recent interview that “it will be apparent in the coming weeks” who the next Speaker of the House will be.
Freedom Caucus Rep. Ralph Norman expressed his staunch opposition to Kevin McCarthy’s speaker ambitions and pushed back on the phony title of “speaker-elect” that McCarthy has given himself, reminding viewers that the next speaker has yet to be elected, and won’t be until January 3rd.
As for who that speaker could be, Norman says it won’t be McCarthy, and that it may not even be a sitting member of Congress.
That signaled that plans revealed in an explosive House Freedom Caucus memo, which was exclusively published by National File, could be in the works, and that a movement among congressional patriots to make President Donald J. Trump the next Speaker of the House could be well afoot.
“I will tell your viewers also that an outside member, you do not have to be a sitting member of Congress to serve, it will be apparent in the coming weeks who that person will be. And it will – I will tell you, it will be interesting if everything plays out.”
Watch Rep. Norman’s Interview Below:
As National File exclusively reported on the earth-shattering Speaker Trump memo, the paper circulating the House Freedom Caucus not only lays out plans to make President Trump the next Speaker of the House, but lays out a radically patriotic agenda to use the US Constitution and its governmental procedures to seize back control of the United States, on behalf of the American people:
National File has exclusively obtained a memorandum being circulated among members of the House Freedom Caucus (HFC) that considers alternatives to Kevin McCarthy after the Republican Party’s much anticipated red wave at the 2022 midterm elections fizzled into a pink trickle, potentially leaving Republicans with a single digit advantage over Pelosi’s Democrats.
The “Speaker Trump” HFC memo is a bold expression of NO-CONFIDENCE in Kevin McCarthy just days after his disastrous performance at the midterm elections.
The Trump memorandum sets forth a plan to elect President Donald J. Trump as Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Importantly, the document clearly articulates the legal and constitutional authority that the House MAY CHOOSE a non-member as House Speaker.
The memo derides McCarthy for his refusal to move forward with impeachment of Joe Biden.
The HFC memo sets forth a plan to return the House of Representatives to “regular order.”
The memo pushes for a commitment from GOP leaders to include the “Motion to Vacate the Chair” in the next rules package.
The memorandum also addresses the failure of GOP leadership to deliver on five key issues important to the American public during the current congressional session:
- Chinese infiltration into U.S. government, commerce, industry and defense.
- The utter lack of serious investigations into the Nov. 3, 2020 election operation.
- The pervasive infringement of our First Amendment rights to free speech.
- The hesitance to launch a Nuremburg 2.0 style military tribunal to hold those accountable for the millions of deaths during Covid-19 and in the aftermath, with the Pfizer fallout and Moderna Mutilation.
- Congress’s refusal to investigate the truth behind Jan 6 deaths, and the treatment of J-6 political prisoners. | <urn:uuid:cf026496-a9fc-40c2-8b51-9a05b69eb5d2> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://nationalfile.com/video-rep-ralph-norman-it-will-be-apparent-who-the-next-speaker-of-the-house-will-be-not-mccarthy/ | 2023-09-27T12:49:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.941065 | 751 |
Growing your own produce is a really healthy choice. Not only can you grow your own fresh fruit, vegetables and herbs, but gardening also provides exercise and benefits your mental health. Getting outside, being active and feeling closer to nature can all boost your mood. Gardening can be a social booster too. Encouraging children to join in turns gardening or a trip to the allotment into a family activity. If you don’t have your own garden space and are unsure about taking on an allotment alone, communal allotmenting might be for you. Sharing an allotment with even one or two others makes it a more manageable commitment, giving greater flexibility in dealing with peak times of work or gluts of produce, as well as removing the issue of who’ll look after the watering if you go away. Some allotment societies have clubs and community plots, an ideal way to get into gardening and meeting people. In case you are just starting out, here’s the beginners guide to greenhouse growing.
Although the traditional favourites of cabbages and marrows might have dominated vegetable growing, the range of different varieties on offer has greatly increased, with unusual and exotic options readily available. Growing varieties not usually offered in the shops can be a fun challenge and a good way to engage kids with vegetable growing. For instance, carrots might be a stalwart of the veg patch, but you can now grow colourful heirloom varieties in purple, red and yellow; or spherical breeds, producing golf ball sized carrots. A greenhouse or polytunnel will further extend your options. Protection from frost will enable you to branch out into more unusual options, as well as enabling you to bring on other plants more quickly before planting out. A covered environment like this can enable you to grow some of the more tender varieties of tomato, as well as peppers, aubergines, courgettes and cucumbers. There are even some exotic fruits which can be grown unheated under cover, such as the ‘Outdoor wonder’ variety of melon. There are numerous polytunnel options available which will help get kids into gardening.
Even if you don’t have space for a greenhouse or full height polytunnel, smaller cover options are also available. Cold frames or mini-polytunnels can offer protection from frost and extreme weather on a smaller scale, enabling you to extend cropping seasons and bring on young plants before potting on or planting out. And polythene isn’t the only polytunnel option. Netted tunnels offer a good alternative to fruit cages, protecting soft fruit from pests or garden birds tempted by ripe berries. A few raspberry canes and a couple of currant bushes can provide with a good crop of this otherwise pricy produce, and children love helping to harvest the berries. | <urn:uuid:25da4364-30cb-4945-84e1-8c6bc86db470> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://naturalnewsblogs.com/benefits-polytunnels-provide-gardeners/ | 2023-09-27T11:42:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.937533 | 573 |
The Nazareth Hospital EMMS is one of the oldest hospitals in the Middle East and the largest in Nazareth. The hospital is run by the Nazareth Trust and makes up one of four areas of the Trust’s work in Israel. You can read more about the Nazareth Trust and its wider work here.
The Nazareth Hospital EMMS traces its roots back to 1861, when a young Christian doctor, Dr Kaloost Vartan, made the journey from Edinburgh to Nazareth, the hometown of Jesus, to establish a small four-bed clinic. At that time, it was the only medical facility in the town, and as far as Damascus and Beirut in the north, and Jerusalem in the south. Dr Vartan carried out pioneering medical work, reaching out to a population with a very low life expectancy.
Today the Nazareth Hospital is a general hospital with Nazareth’s main Emergency Room that works 24/7, ICU, a recently refurbished Cath Lab, Orthopaedic Surgical department, General Surgical department, Pediatric surgical unit, Urology Unit and Esthetic Clinic.
The hospital has a Medical department with Tuberculosis and Cardiac clinics, as well as a Dialysis unit, Psychiatry Department (the only Arab one in Nazareth), Delivery rooms, a unique Neonate unit, Gastrology unit, X-ray department and other medical clinics that serve tens of thousands of patients every year.
The Nazareth Hospital is one of the area’s biggest employers and seeks to serve all people with the highest scientific and medical standards. The hospital is affiliated with Bar-Ilan University and is committed to developing medical education and research, each year welcoming many students of medicine, nursing and other medical fields from universities and colleges around the world. | <urn:uuid:79219422-2ef0-4613-922c-7e572882d719> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://nazhosp.com/?lang=en | 2023-09-27T11:47:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.960523 | 365 |

How to Shop for a Designer Handbag Without Making Big Mistakes
I bet you’ve been eyeing that gorgeous designer handbag for a while now, and you just can’t wait to pull the trigger and buy it. It’s important to get this purchase right, so it’s worth thinking about these common mistakes people make when shopping for designer handbags. Your high-end handbag is more than just a sartorial necessity; it is a reflection of your personality and values. Read these tips on how to shop for a designer handbag without making any major mistakes to ensure that you get exactly what you want.
Designer handbags are expensive because they are status symbols. As a result, there are many designer handbag buying errors that people make when they purchase this type of luxury item. Before you go shopping, do your research. One of the simplest ways to do this is to use a site that allows you to view side-by-side comparisons of various designer handbags. These websites allow you to narrow your search by price, color, and size, as well as provide information about the designer and style of the bag you’re interested in. A good website will also display product reviews from customers. Once you’ve decided on the type of bag you want, the next step is to find a retailer who sells it.
In addition, when searching for the ideal designer bag, many people make the common mistake of putting style before practicality. Sure, you might think it’s just going to sit in your closet 99% of the time, but what if you need to carry around your laptop or other equipment? If you’re going to spend a lot of money on something, do your homework first. All designer handbags are not created equally, and it can be quite easy to make mistakes when shopping online or in person.
The size of the handbag is one of the most important aspects when shopping. A purse might not look like much by itself, but its contents are what make all the difference. If you’re looking for something large, you need to find a bag that’s big enough for your needs. A smaller bag will be much easier to carry around all day. You have the option of a smaller, more manageable bag or a larger, more capacious bag.
Some buyers place equal importance on durability and quality when shopping for high-priced handbags. Analyzing the components of a designer handbag is the most common method for determining its durability. Checking for cracks or blemishes in the leather is one way to determine whether or not a Louis Vuitton bag is authentic. If it does not have any signs of wear-and-tear, then the lifespan should be good. Another sign of durability is solid seams with no holes; they may tear with use but will not break.

How Does Nellara Understand Consumers, Being a Foremost Food and Beverage Company?
Due to the major economic changes that have happened recently, consumers are finding numerous ways to save money by cutting down on costs on worthless requirements. Nellara has been a budget-friendly food and beverage company in Dubai by providing truly authentic and quality Indian food products for its consumers.
By being innovative, we always find the right balance between quality and affordability. Over the years, we have been a major player in the market, which involves processing raw food materials, packaging, and distributing them across the UAE.
As a company that depends on both traditional and cutting-edge technology alike, Nellara always emphasizes food safety as a top priority. We give importance to our consumers’ health as much as we focus on the quality of our food products.
Our sole aim is to be known as a “Healthy Brand”, where anyone can experience the taste of Kerala food products without adulteration or chemical reagents. Our manufacturing units in the UAE and India are maintained to the highest international food production standards.
As a Food and Beverage Company, We Always Keep Up with Consumer Demands
The Indian influence of Dubai’s food culture can be easily identified because of the rise in restaurants that serve Indian cuisine and companies that offer food products that are required in Indian households. Nellara always understands the demands of consumers as a food and beverage company through research and studies in the market.
There are many South Indian families who’re missing their favourite dishes, and Nellara sees this as an opportunity by offering authentic Kerala style food products that meet the expectations of consumers.
By having a taste of our consumers’ love for Kerala dishes, every food product we manufacture is under the flavor-lock system that retains freshness, aroma, and quality for a longer period of time.
One of the main reasons why Nellara is considered the first choice by many is because of the continuous effort to understand the changing lifestyles of consumers and the anticipation of consumer needs in order to provide taste, nutrition, health and wellness through its food products.
Our Primary Concern is Food Safety
We are very much driven by food safety and it is our foremost priority to keep our food products as pure and healthy as possible. By promoting sustainability with our modern technology machines and food material processing management practices, we brand ourselves as one of the premier food manufacturing companies in the Middle East.
Our management strategies are updated on developing great-tasting food solutions with higher hygiene standards.
All of our products, including ready-to-cook, are thoroughly monitored by our experts at every stage of production before being dispatched to the market, ensuring the quality and purity of every ingredient down to the finest details.
Our well-built infrastructure allows us to identify, control, document, maintain, and review food hazards that normally occur during the food production procedures. Nellara has strongly emerged as a leader in the food manufacturing industry by having a diverse range of South Indian food products that meet quality standards at an affordable price.
Nellara Always Makes Delicious Memories With its Consumers
As a leading food and beverage company in Dubai, we have built a very special relationship of quality and trust with our consumers. Nellara adds tremendous value to every Indian household in the UAE by importing high-quality spices and food ingredients.
From production to delivery, you can find our sheer commitment to food safety and, over the years, Nellara has grown into a food manufacturing company that keeps the promise by making delicious memories with its consumers through a range of food products. | <urn:uuid:e3aa8f3e-3d8e-4448-98f8-46e46becf553> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://nellara.com/food-and-beverage-company/ | 2023-09-27T11:24:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.960774 | 739 |

I don’t need to tell you: stocks have nosedived. Bonds usually work as insurance, meaning their returns have averaged 27 percentage points better than stocks when stocks crater. Bonds clearly aren’t providing their historical value: they’ve nosedived, too, and are only 8 percentage points better than stocks. This post displays the possible rank of 2022 among the 15 worst years for stock and bond returns since 1926. It shows that 2022 would rank as the fifth worst year just based on the YTD results. NOT GOOD.
The returns have to be disturbing if you’ve recently started on your retirement plan; it’s less disturbing when you look back over the past several years: even with this sharp drop, all of us have experienced above average returns over the past 3½ years.
My worry-point is ~19 weeks from now. That’s when I’ll sell securities for our spending for 2023. Hopefully both stocks and bonds recover. I’m remaining calm – for now.
== Returns so far this year ==
I’ll use the real return for an index fund for S&P 500 stocks (VFIAX) through June: -19.98%. (The return as of yesterday is better.) I’ll use an index fund that basically is an intermediate bond fund (IUSB) through June: -10.79%. The six-month inflation rate has been 6.28%. Real returns for the first six months are -24.7% for stocks and -16.1% for bonds.
== How would this compare? ==
I assume full year results equal the six-month results. That means no improvement or further decline for the balance of the year. I then compare that pro forma result to the worst 15 years since 1926. I pick the results of a portfolio mix of 80% stock and 20% bond to display and rank the years.
One horrible year certainly is not good, but what really sinks a portfolio is a grouping of really bad years. I highlighted the start of the three most harmful sequences of return: they all started with a year that ranks in the worst 15. The worst of the three is the sequence that starts in 1969. That sequence is the worst-case scenario that drives your Safe Spending Rate (SSR%. Chapter 2, Nest Egg Care [NEC]) to a low level.
If one just looked at stocks, my pro forma 2022 would rank fifth worst since 1926. Bonds would rank as worst on this list. The stinky bond returns so far this year follow smelly real returns for 2021: -8.9% real return; the combination of the two years would be -23.5% real return. That’s the worst in history. The next worst two-year period for bonds was -20.9% (1946 and 47).
== If you’ve just started your plan ==
Results so far have to be disturbing if your just started your plan – you made your first security sales/withdrew in late 2021 for your 2022 spending from your nest egg. However, we all can look back a couple of years and be less upset because stock returns were outstanding in 2019, 2020 and 2021. Portfolio returns, even with this decline, are about one-half percentage point greater than we would expect based on long-term average returns.
I can’t predict the results for the balance of the year. Returns obviously have to be pretty darn good for the rest of 2022 to not rank in the 15th worst of the 97 years since 1926.
Conclusion: Both stock and bond returns have been very poor for the first six months of the year. If the YTD returns turned out to be the 2022 full-year results, the year would rank as the fifth most harmful to a portfolio. If we look back and include the prior three years, however, we find the average annual portfolio returns have been about one-half percentage point greater than what we would expect. I have about five months before I need to sell securities for our spending in 2023. Ideally, stocks and bonds recover, and we don’t have to sell at seriously depressed values. | <urn:uuid:cbc08acf-9ea1-4b5a-9fee-534bcfe2f28f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://nesteggcare.com/where-might-this-year-rank-in-returns/ | 2023-09-27T11:43:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.947326 | 869 |

Camden’s children and Council tenants to benefit from £0.5million waste windfall bonus
£475,000 is to be paid to the council by the North London Waste Authority (NLWA). The NLWA’s publicly owned ‘waste-to-energy’ facility has made more money this year because of higher energy prices, and this has allowed them to make the windfall payment to the council.
Camden will use this windfall to help people in the borough who are being hit hard by the cost-of-living crisis.
Camden’s Cabinet will target the money at projects that support residents who face hardship because of the cost-of-living crisis. Two borough projects - which support children’s healthy diets and energy efficiency in residents’ homes – will receive this money.
The two projects Camden Council will fund are:
- School breakfast clubs: The Council will work with a specialist charity to provide breakfast clubs where they are most needed. This will help Camden schools that do not currently have a breakfast club to start one so that children receiving free school meals can also get a breakfast for free.
- Energy saving measures for council tenants: The Council will help tenants who are in need and on low incomes to improve the energy efficiency of their homes.
“Residents hit hardest by the cost-of-living crisis are at risk of severe hardship this winter. This extra funding is a very welcome addition to the funding and the measures that we’ve put in place to make sure our communities get the support they need.
“Together with our voluntary organisations and amazing communities, we are here for all our residents who are really struggling with money or have none left.”
The NLWA manages the recycling and waste produced by two million north London residents and is the 100% shareholder of LondonEnergy Ltd, the company that operates an ‘energy-from-waste’ facility in Edmonton.
Since 1971, the facility has used waste to generate electricity for the National Grid instead of sending it to landfill, thus reducing carbon emission. The income from generating electricity is then used to reduce the cost to each member council of disposing of its recycling and waste, saving both the council and its residents money. The seven north London councils that make up the NLWA will share a total windfall of £4.75 million.
With energy prices high, this way of generating energy has now allowed for more money to be targeted where it’s needed most.
Councillor Olszewski continued:
“A healthy breakfast is vital for children’s wellbeing, concentration, behaviour and educational achievement. We will step in and fund this for children entitled to free school meals, along with continuing our commitment to provide food vouchers for them during the school holidays.
“And by providing targeted home energy efficiency measures, we will be able to help our most vulnerable tenants’ homes stay warm. Research shows that replacing single glazing with secondary glazing can mean a 7% reduction in fuel costs, while replacing glazing and installing internal wall insultation can reduce bills by 25 to 30%.”
Camden Council is providing payments of up to £500 to help residents in severe financial hardship and unable to pay for essentials – including food or energy bills – through its cost-of-living crisis fund. The council has so far received nearly 1,200 applications for assistance totalling nearly £500,000 for residents in greatest need. 74% of applications are from women, 61% of applications from Black, Asian and other ethnic groups, while 45% have children or young people in the household, 32% have a disability, and 12% are pensioners.
The Cost-of-Living Crisis Fund is just one part of a wider package of support for Camden residents from Camden Council and its partners, which includes
- Helping residents unable to afford basic living items when they move into a new home through payments of up to £1,000 to pay for essentials including a cooker, fridge, bed(s), bedding, chairs and essential cooking equipment.
- Taking 16,300 residents on the lowest incomes out of paying Council Tax altogether through the Councils’ Council Tax Support scheme – with potential discounts also available for residents earning less than £497.25 a week. Camden Council invests £29million in this scheme – making it is one of the most generous Council Tax support schemes in the country.
- Providing support and grants worth up to £2,000 via the Council’s We Make Camden Kit to help groups of people or community organisations start projects or initiatives that will help their local community. This includes funding projects to help people eat nutritious, affordable and sustainable food. A diverse panel of residents from across Camden decides who is awarded funding, with support from Camden Giving and Camden Council.
A range of help and support with the rising cost of living – including accessing financial support via the Council’s Cost of Living Crisis Fund for residents suffering extreme financial hardship - is available at www.camden.gov.uk/costofliving , by calling the council on 020 7974 4444 (option 9), by calling Citizens Advice Camden on 0808 278 7835 or by contacting one of the organisations in Camden Advice Network. Find their details at www.camden.gov.uk/can . A range of support is available with money, debt, rising energy bills, mental health, domestic abuse and violence, accessing Government grants and more.

The Riigikogu passed the law on Monday to ratify the agreement over the development of Rail Baltic with 63 votes in favour and 20 against. The agreement sets the rules for the construction, ownership, and operation of the future railway route.
The agreement specifies the obligations of the involved states in building the Rail Baltic railway as well as the general technical parameters of the project. The railway’s future route is set out in the agreement as well.
The international agreement is necessary. While each country involved has its own company in place that will plan and build the railway, there are certain issues that need to be settled bilaterally wherever the route crosses borders.
Future ownership of the railway’s infrastructure and land is also regulated in the agreement, along with the conditions how the project is financed.
The total cost of the works on Estonian territory is projected to total €1.3 billion, of which Estonia's own contribution is €250 million euros. Up to 85 percent of the Rail Baltic project funding will come from the Connecting Europe Facility.
The prime ministers of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania signed the agreement in January. The government supported it and passed it on to the Riigikogu for ratification in late April. Prime Minister Jüri Ratas (Center) called Rail Baltic “a good project for the Estonian economy, people and connections”.

The Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission has approved a contract establishing a new standard of collaboration to promote renewable energy and protect ratepayers
SEATTLE — July 13, 2017 — On Thursday, Microsoft Corp. and Puget Sound Energy (PSE) announced that the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (WUTC) has formally approved a new contract that will allow Microsoft to directly purchase clean energy to power its 15 million-square-foot Puget Sound region campus.
The terms of the contract stipulate that Microsoft will buy only carbon-free energy; purchase renewables at a level greatly in excess of the Renewable Portfolio Standards percentages established by the Washington Energy Independence Act (I-937), more than doubling that standard in 2021; and take significant actions to protect ratepayers, including payment of a substantial transition fee and ongoing funding for conservation and low-income programs. Microsoft will continue to utilize PSE’s distribution system.
“This agreement is good for our business, but more important it’s good for residents, the environment and the state of Washington,” said Brad Smith, president and chief legal officer of Microsoft. “Once the transition is complete, the vast majority of our Puget Sound campus will be powered solely by carbon-free fuels. This contract is a helpful innovation in meeting the demand for renewable energy in a way that protects other energy consumers.”
“The energy needs of our customers are unique,” said Kimberly Harris, president and CEO of Puget Sound Energy. “Our history of working with our customers and the WUTC to advance innovative rate ideas includes responding to the 2001 energy crisis with a new structure for large customers to manage their own power, current offerings like the Microsoft contract, our Green Direct program for commercial and municipal customers, and our Solar Choice option for residential customers. We’re proud to be a part of Microsoft’s response to renewable energy demands, and we’re proud to be part of the lives of our million-plus customers across Western Washington.”
The agreement is the result of several years of collaborative work between the company and utility provider. The agreement covers approximately 80 percent of Microsoft’s total energy load in the Puget Sound area; the remaining 20 percent will continue to be serviced by PSE. In addition, PSE will also continue to provide distribution and related services to Microsoft, which will remain one of PSE’s largest customers.

Father’s Day is coming up this week. For your dad, this means getting some much-needed appreciation. For you, it most likely means some crazy last-minute efforts of trying to find a gift for your very first superhero.
As always, we got your back. We’ve gathered 8 cool and timeless Father’s Day gift ideas that without a doubt will make your old man happy.
8. Hair products
Great hair is ageless – and it doesn’t get more classic than a well-styled Silver Fox. Treat your old man with a moisturizing shampoo, his favorite styling product or a quality comb to help keep the mane under control.
Is he even your father if he’s not wearing some (cable) knit? We hardly doubt it. We’re quite certain it’s more or less of a legal requirement for daddies to wear cardigans and cozy sweaters. If he’s a bit outdated on the fashion front, this is a chance to help him look stylish and more on-trend. Go for cardies, jumpers and dress shirts or maybe even a quality scarf or some warm gloves?
It’s always stylish to be punctual and a classic wristwatch never goes out of style. Choose a timeless gold timepiece if your father is a bit resistant to technology or go for a fitness watch if he’s the contrary. If he’s a true gadget-nerd he’ll love that his watch will not only state the time but also tell him information about his heart rate and how many steps he walked during the day.
If you ask us, a man’s masculinity is less bound by how many goals – or girls – he has scored or how many beers he can sink in one sitting. Masculinity is more about how many rare and high-quality whiskeys or wines he’s got stocked.
– If you choose to go with whiskey, make sure you know your father’s favorite tipple before spending dollars. Go for bottles with a special distillation process.
5. A tie or cufflinks
We know that it might not be the most heart-raising gifts – but it’s without a doubt classics that every man needs in his wardrobe. Depending on the profession of your old man, it might even be gifts he can use every single day. Whose not a fan of that?
As a bonus, both gift ideas can be personalized to a varying degree. In terms of price level, you’re good to go. No matter if you’re a big spender or on a strict budget.
6. A Wallet
Trust us, it’s less than a few men who would buy a new wallet for themselves – that’s what’s Christmas, Birthdays and father’s days are for.
But if you’re father’s wallet have seen better days, a new one in stylish leather may just be what the doctor ordered! Go for a model in simple black or brown and consider a personal engraving.
7. A Beard trimmer
Upgrade your dad’s shaving routine with a brand-new beard trimmer. Go for a model with various settings that can be used for a platitude of different beard styles. Also long-lasting batteries for cordless use. And accessories for grooming ears and eyebrows.
– Add a good beard oil to put the cherry on top and your dad is in for a groom-tastic experience.
Is your dad a bit more of the old school kind? He might appreciate a classic razor kit – maybe even one customized especially for him?
Summer’s finally here! Why not give the old man a gift he can benefit from every single day for the next few months – or maybe even the whole year around?
– Throw some shades on him and let him rock that salt-and-pepper Silver Fox look with a pair of stylish sunglasses.
Even the most non-fashion pops’ will look effortlessly cool with the classic Aviator (especially, if he’s a Top Gun fan) or a timeless Wayfarer model.
Tell us – have you bought your Father’s Day gifts yet? | <urn:uuid:20de0b8a-205d-4818-9df7-1472b0fc4485> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://news.slikhaarshop.com/8-succesfull-fathers-day-gifts/ | 2023-09-27T11:42:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.927365 | 910 |
November, 2008: Collierville, TN, USA
Composite panel fabricator Fiber-Tech has significantly increased its participation in ballistics and military applications over the past few years due to homeland security concerns and the need for troop protection in Iraq and Afghanistan. The same AOC Altek® polyester resin Fiber-Tech uses for commercial panel applications is employed in Fiber-Tech ballistics armor.
"We use a similar fabrication process but for ballistic applications produce panels which are solid fiberglass and resin," says Fiber-Tech Vice President of Technology Bob Pfeifer. "Laminate thicknesses are one-eight-inch to one-and-a-quarter inch (0.32- to 3.2-centimeters), depending on the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) ballistic rating required for a given application."
The NIJ has a rating system for different projectiles or "threat levels." The higher the rating or threat level, the more resin and fiberglass Fiber-Tech uses in order to produce a thicker ballistic panel. Using fiberglass woven roving in AOC resin, Fiber-Tech's solid ballistic panels have passed NIJ Standards 0108.01 criteria.
Fiber-Tech's largest ballistic panel job so far was the production of ceiling tiles designed to resist mortar shrapnel in soft-sided structures using the Altek resin in 0.5-inch (1.3-centimeter) thick laminates.
From manufacturing sites in Washington, Ohio and Michigan, Fiber-Tech produces large, flat composite panels for the transportation, marine, military, construction, and corrosion resistant markets among others, with transportation as a mainstay.
The majority of the composite panels for Penske and U-Haul trucks in the past 18 years were fabricated by Fiber-Tech using Altek unsaturated polyester resin. "Penske and U-Haul began using composite walls in the late 1980s and have since gone to 100% FRP (instead of aluminum) walls for their consumer rental truck bodies," explains Fiber-Tech Vice President, Sales, Wayne Durnin.
Fabricating with AOC technology
Using Altek resins and Vibrin® gel coats from AOC, Fiber-Tech produces large, structural panels manufactured in a wet-layup process. "We're not just gluing components together," Durnin says. "We manufacture the entire composite in one complete process to produce a seamless, structural panel, cured under heat and pressure."
The closed-mold fabrication process used by Fiber-Tech is a combination of vacuum bagging and infusion. Pfeifer, says theirs is a proven process under the Fiber-Tech name dating back to 1984, but was originally developed in the late 1960s.
Most panels produced by Fiber-Tech employ a core material surrounded by resin/fiberglass composite on both sides. A variety of cores are used including plywood, PP honeycomb, and several different types of foams. For its ballistic applications, Fiber-Tech uses a solid resin and fiberglass woven roving construction without a core.
Highly Reactive Resins = Faster Cycle Times
Fiber-Tech differentiates itself through its ability to produce very large panels and to do so quickly. The company can fabricate panels up to 11-feet wide and 60-feet long (3.4 by 18.3 meters) for use in truck bodies and architectural applications. "We build the largest panels in the marketplace so we can maximize the yield from our panels," Durnin points out. "If a customer needs four-foot by eight-foot (1.2-by-2.4-meter) panels, we can manufacture parts that are eight feet by 56 feet (2.4 by 17 meters) and cut them to customers' exact specifications."
The high reactivity of the Altek resin is another critical factor in Fiber-Tech's success. "Our ability to produce a large quantity of panels very quickly is a big advantage," Durnin says. "Using a highly reactive resin allows us to manufacture panels with the highest square foot throughput in the industry," says Pfeifer. "Fiber-Tech is able to exceed the daily capacity of some of our competitors before our morning break!"
Among the properties exhibited by AOC resins and gel coats Fiber-Tech considers the most critical are the resin's flex, wet out and ease of processing. "We really wanted to use the same resin in our ballistic applications as we do in our standard products," explains Pfeifer. "Even when we went to a 30% resin ratio for ballistics, we were able to stick with our established fabrication process and the same Altek resin from AOC."
"The resins and gel coats have been very high quality and very consistent," Pfeifer says. "Since we began using the AOC products, we've made very few process changes."
When tech service is needed, AOC brings technical personnel into Fiber-Tech plants, usually to assist with process changes and specific projects in which the company is involved.
"They helped us a lot when we made the switch from standard to low-VOC products," he continues. "It was a year-long project to get our styrene levels from the mid-30s (percentages) down to the mid 20s. AOC adapted their products to our processes because we don't want to make unnecessary changes," Pfeifer says.
"AOC's customer service and on-time delivery has been very good for us. We view Salesman Herb Knudson and the rest of the AOC team as Fiber-Tech partners."
Dedicated to quality FRP solutions, Fiber-Tech provides panels for a variety of industries, including the Transportation, Building Panel Systems, Houseboat Panels and Insulated Panele. Fiber-Tech recently collaborated on a prototype rescue chamber, which received the 2007 Ace Award at Composites & Polycon for Most Creative Application.

The conflict has forced an estimated 4.2 million people from their homes, about 2 million inside and 2.2 million outside the country
By Isabelle Gerretsen
LONDON, Dec 14 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - As South Sudan's civil war enters its sixth year, conflict has lessened following a peace deal but violence prevents 1.5 million people receiving aid and famine is possible in 2019.
Despite a fragile accord signed by the government and rebel groups in September, the world's youngest country is awash with weapons and riven with ethnic grievances, with civilians bearing the brunt of the violence and cycle of revenge.
"We have a long way to go to ensure that all parties meaningfully engage in the peace process," said Janardhan Rao, country director for aid group Mercy Corps.
"The sexual violence against women and girls in South Sudan is abhorrent and underscores that signing a peace agreement is only a starting point," he told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
Here are 10 facts about the war in South Sudan:
- The war has killed almost 400,000 people since 2013, about half dying from violent injuries.
- The conflict has forced an estimated 4.2 million people from their homes, about 2 million inside and 2.2 million outside the country.
- About two-thirds of the population - 7 million people - require humanitarian aid, with women and children most in need.
- More than four in 10 people - an estimated 5.2 million - face severe malnutrition.
- South Sudan has the world's highest rate of children out of school, with more than 70 percent - 2.2 million - not receiving an education.
- Every third school has been damaged, destroyed, occupied or closed since 2013.
- During the first three months of 2019, the United Nations (U.N.) predicts that every other person in South Sudan will be severely short of food.
- The U.N. appealed on Thursday for $1.5 billion in aid in 2019.
- Combatants on all sides have perpetrated serious human rights abuses, including gang rape, abductions, sexual slavery of women and girls and recruitment of children.
- About 1.5 million people live in areas with high rates of hunger and sexual violence where it is difficult or impossible to deliver relief due to fighting and attacks on aid workers.

Several awards are presented annually to graduates, staff and faculty members during William & Mary’s Commencement weekend. Below is a list of the awards that were presented during this year’s ceremonies on May 20 and 21. – Ed
- Lord Botetourt Medal
- James Frederic Carr Memorial Cup
- Thatcher Prize for Excellence
- Graves Award
- Sullivan Awards — students
- Sullivan Award — non-student
The Lord Botetourt Medal
The Lord Botetourt Medal is presented each year to the undergraduate student who has most distinguished him or herself in scholarship during their time at William & Mary. In 2022, this honor is awarded to Sumié Aileen Yotsukura ’22.
An Asian & Pacific Islander American studies and theater double major, Yotsukura frequently worked on shows with the theatre department, consulted at the Writing Resources Center and was a member of the Asian American Student Initiative. Yotsukura performed for three years and later served as director of Sinfonicron, a student-run theatre company that produces annual musicals and light operas. She was also president of the Theatre Students Association and vice president of Alpha Psi Omega.
This spring, Sumié presented “Your Best (Asian) American Girl” at the Williamsburg Regional Library Theater as part of her senior thesis. The cabaret chronicled her journey grappling with her identity as a biracial, third-generation Japanese American. Through music and monologues, Sumié displayed her skills in musical theater while exploring complex issues of identity and culture.
After writing a paper on using Title VII of the Civil Rights Act to protect the rights on Asian American actors and actresses in Hollywood, Yotsukura was invited to work on a research project for the Asian Centennial at William & Mary.
Amongst her major finds in the W&M archives, Yotsukura discovered an article written by P.K. Chen, a 1923 graduate and the first student of Asian ancestry to attend the university. From this discovery, Yotsukura built an exhibit that is now on display in Swem Library as a way to open conversations on the continuing issues of racial discrimination that students of Asian ancestry face, and on mental health, a topic P.K. Chen wrote about nearly 100 years ago that continues to resonate for the Asian ancestry community today.
James Frederic Carr Memorial Cup
The James Frederic Carr Memorial Cup was established in honor of a William & Mary student who served with distinction in the First World War and lost his life before he could return to graduate. The award recognizes the student who best exemplifies character, scholarship and leadership.
This year’s recipient was Caroline Morin ’22.
Morin distinguished herself as a senior program manager for the Geospatial Evaluation and Observation Lab, overseeing 17 other undergraduate researchers on the geoLab’s geoParsing team, according to the award citation. Highly dedicated to her studies, Morin graduated with a Bachelor of Arts with a double major in international relations and history. Her colleagues commended her for being passionate about her work and highly organized, noting that she “never misses the mark when it comes to the smallest details.”
Morin is the published author of numerous papers that have appeared on the front page of the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency’s Tearline website, according to the citation. Her data-driven papers have ranged from the environmental impact of Russian mining in Central Africa to emerging industrial parks in China. She has also engaged in development work in Laos, Ecuador and Spain. Morin also dedicated much of her time to blockchain research, teaching a blockchain regulation course and publishing in peer-reviewed journals.
For helping to ensure inclusivity in the 2021 Yule Log celebration while vice president of the Eta circle of Omicron Delta Kappa, and for promoting diversity as a research lead for geoLab, Morin was one of two students recognized as Diversity Champions in April 2022 by the W&M Office of Diversity & Inclusion.
Student nominators described Morin’s commitment to leading and nurturing her teams, facilitating the open sharing of ideas, encouraging diverse perspectives and graciously promoting critical thinking and debate. In recognizing her leadership, a fellow student wrote: “Caroline has taught me the limitless value of making others feel valued.”
Nominators commended Morin for the intention she brings to mentorship, her compassion and her drive to help others succeed. In describing her, peers praised her for demonstrating heart, mind and conduct that shows true compassion for others.
Thatcher Prize for Excellence in Graduate and Professional Study
The Thatcher Prize was created in honor of the 21st chancellor of William & Mary and is presented annually to recognize an outstanding student in graduate or professional study. The winner is selected on the basis of scholarship, leadership, character and service. This year’s recipient is Robert Clay Thompson Jr. Ph.D. ’22.
A veteran of the U.S. Army, Thompson worked as a graduate assistant in the Troops to Teachers program and has served as a liaison and recruiter to veterans who may have an interest in education or counseling. As a contributor to Student Veterans of William & Mary, Thompson worked to improve the alignment of resources serving veterans across the university.
During his time as a graduate student, Thompson undertook research into the needs of student veterans and factors influencing their success in higher education, a field with limited existing study. He completed his Ph.D. and successfully defended his dissertation, “Student Veterans: A Quantitative Examination of Provided Resources and their Effect on Success,” in only three years.
“Rob’s work has the potential to meaningfully impact practice in higher education in a way that will have tangible positive impacts on a population that is underserved,” one nominator wrote.
Throughout his nominations, Thompson’s colleagues commended his intellect, strength of character and artistry in civil discourse as a representative of a servant leader. Another nominator wrote: “He is an educator in every sense of the word: dedicated to assuring that his students are learning at a deep level and applying their understanding towards real-world products and authentic audiences.”
The Thomas Ashley Graves Jr. Award For Sustained Excellence in Teaching
The Thomas Ashley Graves Jr. Award is named for the university’s 23rd president, and recipients are selected annually by the president of the university from nominations submitted by each of the academic deans. This year’s recipients were Eric A. Kades, Thomas Jefferson Professor of Law, and Qian Su, senior lecturer of Chinese studies.
Eric A. Kades
No stranger to awards throughout his time teaching, Kades has often been cited for his drive for innovation and improvement.
As vice dean of the William & Mary Law School from 2008 to 2011, Kades reviewed teaching evaluations, mentored junior faculty, studied the empirical literature on teaching and learned about new techniques from colleagues. He said it was eye-opening for him, as he realized that even an accomplished teacher had much to learn and room to improve.
Shortly after his tenure as vice dean, Kades held the Kelly Professorship for Teaching Excellence, delivering presentations on pedagogy to the entire faculty. Years later, he remains a valuable resource for teaching advice, whether to overcome a classroom problem or to adapt new techniques.
True to his philosophy of innovation and improvement, Kades continues to adopt new practices in the classroom. Based on evidence about attention spans, he switches between modes of instruction through carefully choreographed classes, deploying Socratic questioning, lectures, short video clips to illustrate points, animated slides and polling.
With tablet computers installed in classrooms during the pandemic, he annotates slides during class, giving students an electronic record of notes. He further encourages engagement in large classes by programming small-group gatherings over pizza or donuts. Two years ago, a committee of law faculty, alumni and students honored him with another teaching award, the McGlothlin Faculty Teaching Award.
Throughout her 15 years at William & Mary, Su has contributed to the growth and success of the university’s Chinese studies program while helping launch the careers of many students who now work around the world in academia, government service and the international business sector.
Teaching a notoriously difficult language for adult learners, Su invites new learners through high quality, rigorous instruction. Su’s intermediate courses have retained roughly 90% of their enrollments over the last four years, and a high percentage of her students continue into upper-level courses.
“One of Professor Su’s greatest strengths is that she balances so well her high expectations for the students and their potential to learn,” one student nominator wrote.
Su has led W&M’s study-abroad program in Beijing four times and has committed to leading it again when travel restrictions ease. A crucial component of the Chinese studies major, this study-abroad program lasts seven-and-a-half weeks, making it the longest faculty-led summer program offered at William & Mary. It also requires students to complete eight credits of language instruction and take a three-credit, site-based culture course introducing them to Beijing.
Su has also served as president of the Chinese Language Teachers Association of Virginia since 2021. In this role she works to improve K-12 instruction across the commonwealth.
Algernon Sydney Sullivan Awards (students)
The Sullivan Award is in recognition of influence for good, taking into consideration such characteristics of heart, mind, conduct and demonstrating a spirit of love and helpfulness to others. It is awarded each year to two individuals from the graduating student body and to a third person who has a close relationship to the university. This year’s student recipients were Calvin Kim ’22 and Taylor Young-Wells ’22.
A double major in sociology and Asian and Pacific Islander American studies, Kim excels in scholarship and service with an energized spirit of positivity, according to the award citation. Kim “does not just like his classes, he loves his field of study and throws his all into it,” a fellow student wrote.
Through his exceptional academic record and impassioned application, Kim was chosen as a Freeman Fellow as a sophomore. This fellowship would have permitted him to complete an internship in Asia, if COVID-19 had not made travel impossible. Kim persisted in his applications and was offered an internship with the 1882 Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to broadening public awareness of the history and continuing significance of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882.
On campus, Kim embodies the role of host, welcoming and guiding countless students, according to the citation. He served as an Orientation Aide, an Orientation Area Director and a senior interviewer in the Office of Undergraduate Admission. After joining the Asian American Student Initiative in his sophomore year, Kim served as secretary, co-director and alumni outreach chair. A member of the all-gender service fraternity Alpha Phi Omega, Kim volunteered on campus and in the surrounding community.
A nominator wrote: “Not only is Calvin gracious in his work as a volunteer, but he applies these traits of heart and thoughtfulness into his everyday life. He has opened his home to those who needed it and is always willing to talk if someone has asked for guidance. Calvin’s time and effort have made this school a home for so many in ways no one else in our graduating class could.”
Young-Wells is recognized by her fellow students and professors for her grace, compassion and intellectual rigor. A sociology major passionate about understanding the intersectionality of race, gender, sexuality and socioeconomics, Young-Wells graduated from W&M with a Bachelor of Arts and will enter Fordham Law School in the fall.
Young-Well’s career aspirations were sparked by her experiences working at her local Burger King, according to the citation. She became passionate about addressing the daily hardships her co-workers faced. She plans to become an immigration lawyer and advocate for undocumented and documented immigrants in the U.S.
As an intern with the York-James City-Williamsburg NAACP branch for two semesters, Young-Wells contributed fresh ideas to membership, scholarship and branding. In addition to fostering relationships with branch leaders, she led the scholarship program. Her colleagues appreciated greatly how she went above and beyond to ensure that all local schools, churches and community leaders received scholarship applications, helping to increase the pool of potential award recipients, according to the citation.
Her peers recognize Young-Wells as an incredible friend, leader and scholar, according to the citation. As a resident assistant for three years, she hosted three events per month to facilitate friendships amongst the freshmen under her guidance. As the president of the honor fraternity Phi Sigma Pi, Young-Wells led the chapter through complex challenges during the pandemic, according to the citation. A fellow student wrote: “She reaches out to people just for the sake of checking up on them, which was really valuable during the pandemic. She has been a rock for her friends who have gone through mental health crises.”
Algernon Sydney Sullivan Awards (non-student)
Liz Cascone was this year’s non-student recipient of the Sullivan Award.
Cascone is a steadfast advocate and confidential supporter for students, staff and alumni who have experienced issues of sexual assault and relationship violence, according to the award citation. This includes effectively and compassionately adapting W&M policies and practices in response to national and state legislation and student needs.
Cascone’s unwavering focus is on improving the recovery process for survivors, according to the citation. That role involved leading the development and implementation of alternative resolutions for student survivors of campus sexual assault, relationship violence, stalking and sexual harassment. Sensing a need for a range of resolution processes for survivors, Cascone participated in national training for restorative justice, a process by which offenders can recognize their accountability, address the harms caused and support the needs of the survivor.
In response to students’ desire for more options for misconduct adjudication, Cascone developed a new policy of Adaptable Resolution. Adaptable Resolution is grounded in restorative justice. The process provides a less formal resolution than investigations and hearings and takes an educational approach. Adaptable Resolution provides survivors with more choices for adjudication, thereby offering them more means to regain control.
Though often quiet and unseen, Cascone’s work is life-changing for members of the W&M community, according to the citation. Cascone goes above and beyond to provide support and resources to survivors, even after investigations close, Cascone also provides confidential support and guidance to colleagues who report sexual misconduct or whose children have experienced sexual misconduct at other institutions and for alumni who experienced misconduct on campus years ago.
Cascone is trusted by students, faculty and staff alike, reassuring all when they need it the most, according to the citation. In becoming the person whom W&M community members turn to for confidential support in times of trauma, confusion and vulnerability, Cascone has had a profound influence on the W&M community.

Treatment Options for Weight Loss, Breast Cancer, and/or Chronic Pain
Medical needs are ever-increasing in the United States. More and more Americans are dealing with medical issues, wherein current data believes that the U.S. will need nearly 52,000 more physicians by 2025 to help aid Americans healthcare needs. But, as of now, there are thankfully enough medical professionals to help with the various, concerning issues.
If you’ve been affected by any recent medical concerns — worries of being overweight/obese, noticing a breast lump underneath your breast, or dealing with chronic pain from day-to-day — there are ways in which you can easily obtain treatment, meeting with a physician to receive recommendations for treatment options.
Weight Loss Surgery Options
The condition of being “overweight” is medically defined as when someone’s weight is either 10%-20% above “normal,” or where their body mass index (BMI) is between 25 to 30. The condition of obesity, which 33% of Americans have, is defined as when an individual’s BMI is over 30. If you are someone that lies within these two categories and has been unsuccessful at losing weight and dieting on your own, there are weight loss surgery options. Meeting with a physician and surgery to discuss the possible procedures, you can enter into a medical plan to successfully lose weight, the most popular of which tend to be lap band surgery or gastric bypass surgery.
Checking for Breast Cancer on a Breast Lump
Nearly 40% of all men and women will be diagnosed with cancer sometime during their lifetimes. There are ways to keep an eye on cancer before it becomes more prominent though, especially for women, where an average of 12% American women are diagnosed with breast cancer at some point in their life. One of the first ways for women to stay safe is to continually check for breast lumps, otherwise, any unnatural lumps you might not have felt on your breasts beforehand. By moving the pads of your fingers around your entire breast, you can efficiently check for breast lumps.
Getting a mammography from your physician is equally as effective, one that is performed by a professional. It is said that women, between the age of 65 to 74, who receive a mammography screening every two years can greatly reduce the risk of deaths related to breast cancer. If anything is seen on the screening, or if you happen to find a breast lump and talk to your physician, you can effectively begin setting up a medical plan to receive breast cancer treatment.
Rehabbing Chronic Pain Issues
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke have reported that 80% of all adults will have some form of lower back pain at one point in their life. Similarly, lower back pain, or any other form of chronic-pain symptoms, have been reported as negatively impacting the lives of almost 60% of all Americans each year. If you are one of these people affected by chronic pain, you can easily meet with your physician to seek out treatment options. There are a variety of options to help with chronic pain, whether that be prescribed pain medication, physical therapy rehab, or, if the injury is serious enough, surgery. While it might seem troubling at first, the options are nothing to be afraid of, as they are ones that will allow for you to reduce or completely eliminate your chronic pain symptoms and causes. | <urn:uuid:a5c8f3e9-24c3-49eb-94a8-ce2a1f2f365d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://newsarticlesabouthealth.com/treatment-options-for-weight-loss-breast-cancer-andor-chronic-pain/ | 2023-09-27T10:45:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.969461 | 694 |

Bank of America grabbed headlines for achieving a significant increase over its 2020 levels after it mobilized and deployed $250B in sustainable financial activity for 2021 to drive environmental and social change in line with the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

CloudLinux OS Solo unifies top features for single-use hosting in one product offering.
02/06/2021 — PALO ALTO, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE)
CloudLinux Inc., the team behind creating the popular CloudLinux operating system used extensively in the hosting community, announces the release of CloudLinux OS Solo. This is a new step for the hosting market, a new low-cost operating system that optimizes Linux server and application performance.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210602005624/en/
Try a new operating system for your single user account for free and optimize your server and website performance. (Graphic: Business Wire)
Direct speech from CloudLinux Product team:
What was the motivation behind developing a new Operating System?
“Our starting point was clear. Based on research results, our clients overwhelmingly want the classic CloudLinux OS with VPS and VMs, which only a few users can then utilize. One main request is a robust set of CloudLinux features on one server at affordable prices. Consequently, we found hundreds of VPSs with five or fewer websites hosted by a single client, many of which use VMs for staging and production. Some clients want a stable OS with technical support that is secure and not open-sourced.”
CloudLinux OS Solo is a low-cost Linux OS for small businesses and any individual with just one hosting account which is maintained with 24/7 support. It is optimized for website and server performance, with features most needed to maintain online business stability.
What does the new CloudLinux OS Solo do? It detects server and website performance bottlenecks that can slow down customer business flow. There is also a substantial array of notifications and alerts that help users quickly detail server performance issues.
Moreover, the new OS focuses on domains’ availability and responsiveness and has a PHP Slow Site analyzer that generates daily reports for the server administrator with information about the top slow PHP-based URLs for all domains. And PHP X-Ray identifying the slow CMS plugins, which ultimately speeds up the website. The new CloudLinux OS Solo also shows detailed information about database errors caused by slow queries, fixes code that causes slow functions, and slow external calls.
More features focused on website optimization will be available soon with the CloudLinux OS Solo. For example, single-click WordPress optimization will increase productivity, and together with Smart Advice, will help to improve website performance metrics, which is so important for online businesses.
Who will use CloudLinux OS Solo? Hosting providers who provide VPS and want to increase the upsell opportunities, product portfolio expansion, and a decrease in performance complaints. Small businesses and any individual with just one hosting account who want to speed up their online business and care about SEO metrics, value a fast and optimized website from a high-performed web server. CloudLinux OS Solo is fully automated (works out of the box), has 24/7 support from trusted vendor CloudLinux, and is compatible with all popular hosting software.

If you started to ask yourself the question of how did Elon Musk make his money, you must be ready to take very sharp steps for your career. Let’s review the successful businessman’s life together.
Elon Musk is one of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs and has made billions of dollars through his innovative ventures.
From electric cars to private space travel, Musk’s companies are at the forefront of technological innovation. In this article, we will explore the various factors that have contributed to Elon Musk’s wealth and how did Elon Musk make his money.
How did Elon Musk make his money?
Elon Musk’s wealth is a result of his success as an entrepreneur and his innovative companies that are shaping the future of transportation, energy, and space exploration.
His journey from humble beginnings in South Africa to becoming one of the wealthiest people on the planet is a testament to his perseverance, vision, and relentless pursuit of his goals.
Early life and education
Elon Musk was born in South Africa in 1971 and showed an early interest in science and technology. He moved to the United States to attend college at the University of Pennsylvania, where he earned degrees in physics and economics.
He later pursued a Ph.D. in applied physics and materials science at Stanford University but dropped out after just two days to start his own company.
PayPal and the Dot-Com Bubble
In the late 1990s, Musk co-founded Zip2, a company that provided online business directories and maps. He later sold this company for almost $300 million and used the proceeds to found X.com, an online payment company.
X.com eventually became PayPal, which was sold to eBay for $1.5 billion and that’s probably the reason why we are writing this how did Elon Musk make his money article.
This massive success made Musk one of the wealthiest entrepreneurs in the world at the time and set the stage for his future ventures.
Tesla and SolarCity
SolarCity is a solar panel installation company that aims to make solar power more accessible to homeowners. Both companies have been hugely successful, with Tesla’s market capitalization currently standing at over $750 billion.
SpaceX is yet another important aspect we must mention if we are going to answer the how did Elon Musk make his money question.
Musk’s other major venture is SpaceX, a private space exploration company that aims to reduce the cost of space travel and eventually establish a human settlement on Mars.
SpaceX has developed reusable rockets that are capable of launching payloads into space at a fraction of the cost of traditional rockets.
The company has also won contracts from NASA to provide resupply missions to the International Space Station and to develop a crewed spacecraft for future missions.
The Boring Company and Neuralink
In addition to his major ventures, Musk has also founded The Boring Company, which aims to revolutionize transportation by building underground tunnels for electric vehicles, and Neuralink, which focuses on developing brain-machine interfaces.
Both companies are in the early stages of development but have the potential to disrupt their respective industries.
Now that you’ve learned the answer to the question of how did Elon Musk make his money, it’s time to plan your career.
Every successful business person should have a powerful phone in their pocket, if yours is the Coke phone, you can adopt the humorous personality associated with Elon while taking his steps.
Yeah, you heard us right and it is not a typo, you can own a Coke phone now. | <urn:uuid:7badd7a6-ee74-46ac-a264-a4c3bf6f74b9> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://newsrepublic.net/how-did-elon-musk-make-his-money-585/ | 2023-09-27T12:43:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.976091 | 738 |
OPINION: We've heard loud voices calling recently for the repeal of the mandatory helmet law for cyclists, as well as calls to either remove existing cycling infrastructure or stop government spending on such programs, due to safety concerns. Both calls are unfounded.
Indeed, we can go further and confidently predict that if either step is taken, or both, our hospitals will soon see a large influx of injured cyclists and particularly those with serious head injuries.
Ask any trauma surgeon. Crash reconstructions show that when cyclists and cars collide, the head often strikes the bonnet or windshield - usually with debilitating consequences.
Those opposed to the helmet law cite personal liberty issues or say helmets aren't worth the bother. Both arguments are weak and easy to counter.
First, cycling has flourished since the helmet legislation was enacted in 1991. There is no sign of widespread grassroots ideological opposition to the law, any more than there is to mandatory helmets for motorcyclists or seatbelts in cars.
Cycling rates are rising rapidly and claims that repealing the law will encourage more cyclists are light on fact and heavy on opinion.
Second, there is solid evidence that cyclist head injuries have declined while other cyclist injuries have not during this period: that is, when accidents happen, helmets make an important difference. No one should need reminding that serious head injuries may exact a lifelong toll on the individual and be a great cost to the community.
Interestingly, our most recent study, published in the leading journal Accident Ana-lysis & Prevention, shows that increased spending on cycling infrastructure has now accelerated the decline in head injuries that followed mandatory helmet wearing.
It is worth examining this finding in a little more detail because it lays bare why opponents of bicycle infrastructure are on the wrong track.
Our research published last year established that bicycle-related head injuries fell by 29 per cent immediately following mandatory helmet legislation. That reduction was unrelated to any other changes occurring in cycling around that time: helmets plainly worked as intended.
We have since looked at subsequent New South Wales trends in bicycle-related injuries that were serious enough to require hospital admission – excluding emergency room visits and less severe injuries — between 1991 and 2010.
We then singled out head and arm injuries for comparison, to see whether helmets were doing their job. Arm injury rates reflect what is happening in the cycling environment, such as general safety improvements and the behaviour of cyclists. If more riders take to the roads, for example, or ride longer distances, more accidents resulting in arm injuries will follow. Helmets only protect heads, so comparing arm and head injury rates gives a clearer picture of the effect of helmet-wearing.
We found that arm injuries have indeed mirrored the large growth in cycling numbers in NSW and Australia in general. In the past decade in particular, imports of bicycles and cycling participation rates have grown and the average daily number of cyclists in the Sydney CBD has trebled.
Before the helmet law, the head-injury rate was consistently higher than that for arm injuries. But after the helmet law, head injuries dropped below arm injuries and the two gradually diverged. Arm injury numbers rose steadily at a rate of 3.3 per cent a year (as cycling rates grew), yet head injuries stayed relatively flat. By 2006, the head injury rate had fallen to almost half that of arm injuries.
The numbers tell this good-news story: between 1991 and 2010, the NSW population increased by 22 per cent. In that time, arm injuries rose by 145 per cent, yet head injuries rose by just 20 per cent (and in the past decade alone, cycling participants increased by 51 per cent).
Put another way, if head injuries had increased at the same rate as arm injuries, we would have expected 1,446 head injuries in 2010. Instead, there were only 706 – that's a lot of serious harm avoided in just one year.
Importantly, from 2006 onwards, we detected a second, even more heartening change in the trend – instead of cycling injuries continuing to increase, they actually began to fall, particularly head injuries. This change is unlikely to be related to helmet legislation alone. Indeed, the timing corresponds closely with more money being spent on cycling infrastructure, notably cycleways.
On a per population basis, 2010 enjoyed the lowest head-injury rate since the collection of hospitalisation data going back to 1988-89.
These results highlight the success of the Safe-System Approach. This national road safety strategy, adopted by all state and federal roads ministers, suggests that multiple interventions are needed to improve safety.
Bicycles are inherently unstable and cyclists will still crash on cycleways and in other off-road environments. In any cycling crash, wearing a helmet properly protects the most important part of the body. However, helmets alone should never be seen as a panacea. They are one important component in the overall cycling safety environment.
Intuitively, we all know that segregating cyclists from cars, trucks and buses through cycling infrastructure makes collisions less likely. There's no doubt now that greater spending on cycling infrastructure and mandatory helmets have jointly delivered major benefits on two fronts – fewer cycling injuries, particularly head injuries, and more people enjoying the health benefits of safe cycling.
Surely it would be irresponsible to do anything but continue down the path of making cycling safer. Keeping helmets and building more cycleways is unquestionably the way to go.

NEW YORK, May 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Hundreds of patriotic people gathered in one place for one reason Thursday night: to honor and empower wounded warriors. Supporters and warriors came together at the Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) Courage Awards & Benefit Dinner® at Gotham Hall on May 16 to raise awareness and support for the latest generation of injured veterans.
The night was memorable for many, including wounded warrior Michael Carrasquillo. The Manhattan native was honored with the Courage Award, the pinnacle award of the night given to a warrior who best exemplifies bravery, courage, and strength. Carrasquillo, who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, mentors veterans as a WWP Peer Support group leader and helps them in their transitions to civilian life. New York Giants defensive end B.J. Hill presented Carrasquillo – a life-long Giants fan – with the award.
The Service Award was presented to Craig Manske, Steve Grabowski, and Ed Lewandowski. The trio has been instrumental in generating support for WWP in the Chicago area for more than 10 years, specifically in connection with Soldier Ride® Chicago and the Chicago Air and Water Show.
Allcat Claims Service was honored with the Empowerment Award. They've raised nearly $1 million for WWP programs and services that empower, employ, and engage warriors in their communities.
"It's the people that make the Courage Awards & Benefit Dinner special," said WWP CEO Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Mike Linnington. "Michael Carrasquillo and our other honored awardees are perfect examples of warriors and supporters who understand our mission and have been selfless in their service to wounded veterans."
Celebrities also made an impact on the evening. Extra host Mario Lopez hosted the event, and former America's Got Talent contestant Johnny Manuel performed the national anthem. Other celebrities in attendance included country music performers Luke Pell and The Band Steele. WWE wrestler Dolph Ziggler hosted the WWP Instagram livestream from the red carpet.

Typical e-bikes might not be the most convenient to ride to or from work. The seats aren’t always the most comfy, and the range isn’t typically the greatest. However, Segway’s eMoped C80 gets rid of all those things and switches it out for a familiar moped style that’s powered by a built-in battery. Ready to travel up to 53 miles per charge, and capable of traveling at speeds up to 20 MPH, the Segway eMoped C80 is on sale for a new low of $1,700 today, making now a great time to ditch your car for a more economical mode of travel. We also have a wide selection of Tesla and e-bike discounts in today’s New Green Deals, so you won’t want to miss that either.
Head below for other New Green Deals that we’ve found today and of course Electrek’s best EV buying and leasing deals. Also, check out the new Electrek Tesla Shop for the best deals on Tesla accessories.
Segway’s eMoped C80 makes it easy to travel without gas
Segway is currently offering its eMoped C80 on sale for $1,699.99 shipped. Down from a $2,500 listing price at Best Buy right now, our last mention was $1,900 over a year ago and today’s deal is the first major discount that we’ve seen since then. In fact, this discount also happens to mark a new all-time low that we’ve tracked here. If you’re tired of filling the car up with gas every week just to drive a few miles to and from work, then it’s time to overhaul your weekly transportation routine.
While electric cars typically require a lot of power to charge, and normal ICE vehicles use gas and oil, using an eMoped like this can help reduce your carbon footprint. Since it uses just a normal 110V plug to charge, this would be fairly easy to power through solar for a true off-grid and green experience. While you might typically think about riding to work on an e-bike, this eMoped takes thing sup a notch for your travels. It has an auto lock feature and uses NFC to unlock when it’s time to ride again. With built-in front LED headlights, as well as a dual braking system, this ride-on will be easy to use day or night. You’ll find a top speed of 20 MPH here as well as a range of up to 53 miles, meaning you can make it over 25 miles to work and back without having to plug in mid-day. So, if you’ve been looking for a fossil fuel-free mode of transportation for this summer, then Segway’s eMoped C80 is a solid choice all around.

Ready to help power your campsite, this portable solar panel outputs up to 60W of 12V electricity to connected DC batteries, but it also has two USB ports. Each port is capable of delivering 2.4A to connected devices which means you can use the solar panel to charge a phone, tablet, or portable Bluetooth speaker while completely off-grid.
When not being used, the solar panel folds up and is quite compact at 21 by 14 by 0.8 inches and weighs just 4.5 pounds. That makes ALLPOWERS’ solar panel super easy to bring to any campsite or to keep in an emergency kit. Whenever you need it, the solar panel simply unfolds and leverages the power of the sun to recharge devices or portable batteries.

In this blog we’d like to take a look back at 2020 and give ourselves a *modest” little pat on the back, as well as a big thank you to our loyal community, who has supported us and made all of these accomplishments possible.
From closing a seed funding round to launching two new offerings in under 3 months, this year has been a productive and fruitful one.
Okay, technically this was late 2019, but who’s counting!?
In late November 2019 we officially announced the closing of a successful seed round which would be used to propel our R&D, sales and marketing efforts, playing a key role in an aggressive global growth strategy to help companies accelerate digital transformation.
¨With the support of our investors, we can now ramp up our efforts in reaching as many clients as we can.Our immediate goal is to bring our tested, enterprise-ready technology to as many clients as we can,” explained CEO Danny Goh.
The funding round was led by a family office based in Geneva, Switzerland, followed by a number of private investors, which include Nick Fry, former CEO of Mercedes AMG Petronas F1, Jennifer Lewis, former Managing Director of GIC, Singapore Sovereign Wealth Fund, and Tom Yoritaka, former Managing Director of Cisco Global Ventures.
With help from said seed funding, we were able to set up office in one of the ASEAN’s most important technology and business hubs: Singapore.
Singapore-based Head of Growth Derrick Liao was quick to onboard a small but mighty team of business development specialists who have since created and nurtured important partnerships with government, corporations and universities in the bustling city-state.
Our extension into Singapore also helped in the onboarding of two of Nexus’s esteemed advisors: Jennifer Lewis and David Hardoon, PhD.
Jennifer, former Managing Director of Communications at GIC and current Head of Communication and Engagement at Temasek Foundation, plays an integral role in advising Nexus’s Marketing and Communictions team thanks to her years of experience and knowledge of Singapore’s key sectors.
David, former AI Advisor to MAS and current Senior Advisor for Data and Artificial Intelligence at the UnionBank of the Philippines, advises the management on high-growth critical organisational leadership and strategy, and has been guest speaker on a number of webinars and workshops.
In April 2020 we announced our collaboration with Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) to spearhead the use artificial intelligence to automate ADGM’s licence application process for Venture Capital (VC) fund managers.
The co-created “RegBot”, which utilises natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning, will drive greater business efficiency and compliance for stakeholders operating in one of the fastest-growing financial centres globally.
“We are thrilled to be collaborating with ADGM in the quest to streamline their licence application process and facilitate growth within the region,” commented Nexus CEO Danny Goh. “Our strength lies in developing cutting edge AI solutions for the financial services industry, so this is certainly a project that both ADGM and Nexus knows will be massively beneficial to all stakeholders involved.”
Nexus’s Head of Growth, Derrick Liao, also commented, “In the face of unprecedented change to the way services are being delivered, we are delighted to be part of ADGM’s journey to spur innovation and productivity in the UAE and the region.”

In early September we launched our very own AI-Enabled Business workshop.
In our years of experience, we’ve seen that just about everyone knows what AI is and how powerful it can be in a business context. But we’ve identified one glaring problem: When it comes to actually making AI work at full scale, they hit a wall.
In this workshop, customised for both individuals and corporates, we share the method we use, the Data Harvesting Loop, to help our clients design their own AI roadmap & prioritise which business cases will provide the best ROI.
With two successful workshops under our belt, we’re excited to continue offering tailored training sessions to those interested in how leveraging AI to its fullest potential.
For more information on our tailored AI workshops, click here.
In late November Nexus rolled out our latest product offering, AI Factory.
The Nexus AI Factory is a production programme that helps businesses construct AI solutions at speed and scale. This programme uses tried and tested processes, tools and expertise in a framework to identify specific opportunities and build valuable solutions.
Already being successfully used with our clients, we’ve decided to roll out the programme to help businesses who struggle with kickstarting AI projects.
For more information on how the AI Factory works click here.
With a growing need for AI solutions in key regions, along with our newly-registered entity in Singapore, our UK, Vietnam and Japan-based office all saw a significant increase in onboarded members.
In London, our global headquarters and sales and operations team saw the addition of our CFO, Matt Purcell, as well as two new business development specialists and an in-house AI and automation analyst.
Our production centre in Hanoi, Vietnam welcomed a 4 highly-skilled marketing executives, front and back-end developers, two HR associates and an accountant.
Our Japan-based team has been incremented by the addition of our Head of Delivery and AI Solutions Architect Yusuke Hirano, along with a number of software engineers to support Nexus’s ongoing solutions delivery to our valued clients.

I am always searching for new ways to push my limits and try new experiences. When I discovered eyelash extensions techniques not so long ago, I instantly became a fan of the technique. I began training regularly in my spare time and applied myself to learning new techniques, experimented with different lash types, and tried out products from various suppliers. so I decided to take the next step and enroll in a course to become an eyelash technician myself. I began looking for suitable courses and, after doing some research on the subject, I was excited to find eyelash extensions classes in San Diego they had several good courses available.
Eyelash extensions make people feel beautiful; they even make people nervous at first when seeing how more beautiful they look with longer lashes! The beauty industry is constantly growing, and the eyelash extension industry is becoming more popular than ever.
People are looking for ways to enhance their appearance through non-surgical techniques like lash extensions because it’s so much easier than applying makeup every day. People want longer lashes without having to use mascara. They’re tired of wasting time with false eyelashes that don’t look real or accidentally poking themselves in the eye with them. It seems like false lashes never stay on right! Or maybe they just want something more permanent instead of constantly reapplying makeup (eyeliner, eyeshadow) every day…
You can’t just go into this business blindly; you need proper training and certification. Research what products are best for the procedure. You should also know all about lash extensions so you can let your clients know proper aftercare instructions.
Some people choose to specialize in lash extensions and become certified; others remain general beauticians and cosmetologists by learning only the basics of extensions and focusing on other beauty services and products.
Lash artists have various backgrounds, including makeup artists, other beauty industry professionals, cosmetologists, and estheticians.
Certifications vary from one country to another; for example, barbering is not regulated very strictly outside North America (in Europe, Australia, etc.). Many courses last anywhere from 2 days up to 4 weeks; you may be required to pass a practical before receiving your certification. Exact procedures, costs, and curricula may vary from one school to another.
Eyelash extensions courses explain all aspects of the procedure, including tools needed, different techniques (in-depth), and aftercare. You’ll also learn about products used for extensions (types of glue, adhesives) as well as removal methods/products (if there are any).
After completing your course, you should continue to practice with friends or family members. It’s best to receive some practical experience under direct supervision; you can then evaluate your knowledge and apply what you’ve learned in real-life situations.
You may also want to practice more at home with dummy lashes so that none of your natural lashes are harmed during the process! After all, you need to know how much tension is right so that your client leaves with perfectly conditioned lashes.
It’s probably a good idea to take both the level 2 and the level 3 courses if you want to become an eyelash artist. You can then perfect your skills and knowledge with more advanced techniques – just like putting the finishing touches on a great picture!
When you’ve finally accomplished your diploma course, you’ll be considering your options for future employment, right? That’s when it helps to think about what sort of career you’d like to follow. Some eyelash technicians set up their businesses.
You might prefer working as part of a team, which offers more job satisfaction and the chance to learn different techniques from other artists. Or perhaps you’d rather work on your own; after all, styling your client’s lashes is something that belongs in the hands of the professional! Whatever opportunity looks best to you – make sure not to overlook it simply because you’re worried about getting certain parts of your training out of the way.
In any case, those who have completed their eyelash courses have a lot to look forward to. Taking the next step into the beauty industry as an eyelash artist is exciting, rewarding, and even fun! | <urn:uuid:e81505b3-8f57-42ef-b815-0db0fcab2f56> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://night-sky.net/2021/11/24/everchanging-beauty-industry/ | 2023-09-27T12:19:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.960079 | 872 |
Obituary of Theresa M. Terri Veazy
Theresa M. Veazy, 94, of Rome, passed away peacefully at home with the love and support of her family by her side and holding her hand until her final journey was over.
Theresa was born in Rome, New York on December 3, 1927, to Peter and Marie Carroll Spohn. She graduated from Rome Free Academy in 1946. In her teenage years she worked at Nora's Candy Shop in Rome. In January of 1953, she was hired as a Property and Supply Clerk in the Base Support Division of ROAMA'S Directorate of Supply and Transportation at Griffiss Air Force Base. In 1962, Theresa received the "Civilian of the Month" Award for outstanding performance of duty and being instrumental in selection in connection with shipments of weapons system items. She also received the "Sustained Superior Performance" Award for being the only department of 38 different Air Force Bases that reflected a negative error factor. Maj. Gen. Root, Commander of ROAMA, cited Theresa for an "outstanding job performance of her and the personnel under her jurisdiction." She retired in 1983, but that didn't mean she stopped working. She was a bartender at the Sportsman's Lounge in Rome, for 22 years. Theresa was also an active member of the Ladies Aux. of the Rome VFW post 2246 for over 20 years, and served as President for many of those years. Theresa was always on the go, but never too busy for her family. She loved having everyone together. She also loved to travel, and spent many of her winter months in her Florida home until she could no longer make the long trip. Everyone who knew Theresa knew she was small but mighty, very independent, with a little mix of stubbornness, and unwavering confidence. Theresa was a woman who many admired and loved. She will always be. Theresa will be missed everyday, but never forgotten...she will live on in us forever.
Theresa is survived by her children, Theodore Crawford, Ronald Crawford both of Cleveland, NY; Carol (Carl) Siegfried of Las Vegas, NV; and Lauri (Dan) Boudreau of Rome, Daryl Crawford of FL; Grandchildren Shawn (Stephanie) Hanrahan of Rome; Brandon Hanrahan of Utica; Theodore Crawford II (Rose Parker) of Rome; Lynn (Justin) Pearson of Marcy; Christopher Boudreau of Rome; Kristin Boudreau (Phil Brockway) of Rome, Timothy (Virginia) Haley of TX; Carl (Whitney) Siegfried of Las Vegas, NV; Melanie Contreras of CA; Joseph Mendoza of Rome, Benji Crawford of CA; 23 Great-Grandchildren, many nieces, nephews, and a special pup, Charlie. Theresa was predeceased by a son, Donald (Punk) Crawford, a daughter, Karen Roscoe, son-in-law, Donald Roscoe, and grandson, Brian Crawford.
A very special thank you to Leah Boek, FNP, and her wonderful crew at Boonville Medical for the wonderful care and compassion given to Theresa and her family during this difficult time. You made her last days peaceful, and her family at ease. Also, a special thank you to Joe S. from Hospice, you have found your calling, you are wonderful at your job. Thank you for your help and support.
Per Theresa's last wishes, there will be no calling hours. Services will be private. Please remember her as she was in your fondest memory of her.
Arrangements are by the Nicholas J. Bush funeral Home, Inc., 7751 Merrick Rd., Rome, NY.

God saw you getting tired, when a cure was not to be. So He wrapped His arms around you, and whispered, "Come with Me." You didn't deserve what you went through, so He gave you rest. God's garden must be beautiful, for He only takes the best. And when I saw you sleeping, So peaceful and free of pain, I could not wish you back to me, to suffer that again.
In Loving Memory
Theresa M. Veazy

Compare 5 salts from around the world, smoked salt, flor de sal, feur de sel, hiwa kai, alaea salt, and sel gris
Salt is one of those ubiquitous ingredients that not only makes food taste better, but is a necessary part of the human diet. Chemically speaking, it's a compound formed by sodium and chloride ions arranged in a lattice structure which is why it forms crystals.
While many take it for granted these days, there was a time when salt was more valuable than gold, influencing the growth and migration of civilizations and inciting wars. A comprehensive tome to Salt recounts the epic history of this everyday ingredient, revealing that it's anything but mundane.
Common table salt is typically purified, then enriched with iodine (to prevent Goiter), but this process strips any additional minerals and organic matter that can add flavor and character to the salt. The purification also makes it intensely salty, since there are no impurities to soften the salinity. I don't actually have any regular table salt, preferring to cook with either kosher (Diamond Crystal brand) or Maldon sea salt which are both mild without much flavor of their own. They both have a flaky texture that makes them easy to pinch between your fingers.
Below are 5 other salts I've picked up for various uses. Some are more interesting-looking than tasting, while others pack an incredible dose of flavor that can compliment many dishes.
Region: Oga Penninsula, Japan.
Method: Water collected from deep waters and crystallized in stainless steel. Smoked over cherry wood for flavor.
Color: Light greyish tan.
Texture: Small irregular crystals look like damp sand.
Aroma: Strong smoky scent with notes of tar and a bit of red fruit.
Flavor: Perfect salinity, minerally but not too harsh, warm earth flavor with a ton of meaty umami.
Uses: Awesome smoky flavor goes well on meats, fish, salad dressing, or even caramels. This can be used either to cook with or as a finishing salt. Gives non-BBQed meats a BBQed flavor without using "liquid smoke". Delicious on sashimi.
Name: Flor de Sal (Portuguese Fleur de Sel)
Region: Algarve, Portugal
Method: Flor de Sal, or flower of salt, is hand skimmed from the surface of evaporation ponds in the warmer months of the year.
Color: Almost pure white
Texture: Medium to small irregular crystals
Flavor: Strong salinity, minerally, briny, full of umami
Uses: This is one of my favorite salts. Used as a finishing salt, it adds intense bursts of saltiness with loads of umami. Used for cooking, it adds some great flavor to all dishes.
Name: Hiwa Kai
Region: Molokai, Hawaii
Method: Harvested from Pacific Ocean waters, then solar-evaporated with black lava rocks. To finish, the crystals are dusted with activated charcoal.
Color: Charcoal black
Texture: Medium uniform crystals
Aroma: Neutral (not surprising since charcoal filters are used to rid air and water of odors)
Flavor: Well-balanced, mild, very neutral flavor. This one is more for looks and purported health benefits.
Uses: Awesome smoky flavor goes well on meats, fish, salad dressing, or even caramels. This can be used either to cook with or as a finishing salt.
Uses: Since the charm is all in the color, I would use this exclusively as a finishing salt. It doesn't really add any flavor, though, so aside from the novelty and purported health benefits, I don't really see any reason to use it.
Name: Alaea salt
Method: Locally harvested sea salt combined with Alaea, a volcanic clay that's full of iron oxide (rust) which gives the salt its unique color.
Color: Deep reddish pink
Texture: Medium uniform crystals
Aroma: Like mineral water
Flavor: Low salinity, mellow, earthy flavor. Despite the medium sized crystals, the high mineral content keeps it from being too salty even if sprinkled directly on food.
Uses: I'm actually pleasantly surprised by this salt. Clay and salt sound so unappealing, but it's so mellow, and the color is very cool. This is the salt you're supposed to use in dishes like Kalua Pork and Tuna Poke.
Name: Sel Gris (grey salt)
Region: Brittany, France.
Method: Solar-evaporated in clay pools, then hand collected using wooden rakes.
Color: Greyish green color.
Texture: Large to small irregular crystals.
Aroma: Minerally, smells a bit like uncooked rice.
Flavor: High salinity, strong mineral flavor.
Uses: This one's a bit on the harsh side. Honestly I'm not a big fan. I'm not really sure what I'd use it for. Might be good to use when pickling vegetables.

Skin-on Boneless Chicken Thighs
In Japan, skin-on boneless chicken thighs are the most popular cut of chicken, and they're used in most of the chicken recipes on this site. It's a flavorful, juicy cut, and when prepared well, the skin turns into a crisp crackling shell that's loaded with umami.

Why Debone Chicken Thighs?
While bone-in thighs or whole legs are great for stews, they're not suitable for stir-fried and pan-fried preparations. Although boneless skinless thighs are available, finding boneless skin-on chicken thighs in the US can be challenging unless you live near a Japanese grocery store. Thankfully you can enjoy the crispy chicken thigh skin and flavor of skin-on thigh meat by deboning chicken thighs or whole chicken legs. The first part of the video below shows you how to perfectly and easily debone chicken thighs.
How to Debone Chicken Thighs
Start with the bone-in thigh skin-side down and feel it with your finger to locate where the bone passes through the meat.
Run the tip of your knife down one side of the bone to expose that side. Do not cut through the meat.
Run the knife along the other side of the bone so that you have two flaps of meat with the bone resting on top.
Insert the tip of the knife below the bone with the edge facing the knuckle that's more exposed. Slice the meat from the bone, and cut through any gristle holding the meat to the knuckle.
Stand the bone up and cut around the knuckle on the other side to remove the bone.
Feel the meat with your fingertips to look for any stray cartilage and trim off any excess fat or skin from your boneless thighs.
How to Debone Chicken Legs
In the second part of the video below I demonstrate how to handle deboning a whole chicken leg. This is the way most chicken thigh meat is sold in Japan, and it's why the chicken in my recipes looks so much larger than a typical thigh in the US. You get to enjoy that whole piece of delicious, crispy skin from the entire leg. As a bonus, leg quarters in the US are usually the least expensive cut of chicken you can buy, so you'll be saving money as well.
Lay the chicken leg with the meat side facing up. Insert the tip of your knife off to one side of the bone at the tip of the drumstick (the knife should go into the inside of the curve in the leg).
Follow the bone towards the base of the leg, following the contours of the joint until you reach the end of the thigh bone. Be careful not to cut all the way through the meat.
Now the inside of the joint should be visible. Cut through it with the tip of your knife and fold the leg meat in half.
Use your knife to cut around the large knuckle on the thigh side to detach all of the tendons.
Scrape the meat away from the thigh bone using your fingers. When you reach the knuckle, use the knife to cut around it to release the thigh bone. You can also do this with kitchen shears.
For the drumstick bone, use your knife to scrape the meat off both sides of the bone. Then, insert the tip of your knife under the bone with the edge facing toward the tip of the drumstick. Cut through the meat and tendons to release the end of the bone from the meat.
Now scrape the meat away from the drumstick bone towards the joint where it was connected with the thigh bone, and use your knife to cut around the cartilage to free the bone.
Trim off any remaining tendons, connective tissue, or excess fat.

Ideally, you want to use a sharp knife with a narrow blade, such as a paring knife or a sharp boning knife, but any kitchen knife with a sharp tip will work. If you plan to use a chef's knife, I recommend holding the blade in a pointed finger grip, so you can control it like an extension of your finger.
I usually keep a freezer-safe bag of chicken bones and any remaining flesh scraps in the freezer that I add to over time. Once the bag is full, wash the bones, throw them in a pressure cooker, cover them with a few inches of water, and throw in some onions, celery, carrots, konbu, and salt. Cook it on high pressure for 1 hour to make chicken stock.
A lot of people talk about raw chicken as if it's radioactive, but in reality, it's no different than any other raw meat. You should be fine if you follow a few basic safety precautions. The first thing is to use a dedicated chopping board for raw meat. If you don't have one, I recommend disinfecting the cutting board with an antibacterial spray such as bleach. After disinfecting the board, I usually run it through the dishwasher. To avoid cross-contamination, you also want to thoroughly wash all utensils and surfaces that come into contact with the chicken with soap and hot water before using them for anything else. Of course, you can wear gloves if you want to avoid contact with the raw meat, but it's not strictly necessary. Just wash your hands thoroughly when you're finished.
- 4 whole chicken legs
- Lay a chicken thigh on your cutting board with the meat side facing up. Run the tip of your knife from one end of the bone to the other, scraping the tip as close to one side of the bone as possible.
- Trace a similar path on the other side of the bone so that you have two flaps of thigh meat with the thigh bone sitting on top.
- Insert the knife under the center of the bone with the blade facing the tip of the bone that is more exposed. Next, slide the knife towards the end of the bone, scraping the meat away and cutting through any connective tissue holding the thigh to the bone.
- Stand the thigh bone vertically and use the tip of your knife to cut around the other knuckle to free the bone.
- Trim off any remaining white connective tissue from the meat and any excess fat or skin. | <urn:uuid:64d4e2e8-03de-4e89-a333-ac32c10145b4> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://norecipes.com/debone-chicken-thighs-legs/ | 2023-09-27T12:36:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.938908 | 1,356 |

There’s a lot of doom and gloom in rugby league right now with uncertainty amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a sign of goodwill, a former rugby league player is looking to make a difference to help struggling rugby league clubs.
Luke Srama, Philippines international and brother to former Gold Coast Titan Matt, is offering free advertising or promoting promotion posters for clubs as part of giving back to the community.
“Rugby league has given myself a lot of experiences, connections and friendships globally.”, said Srama.
Having been through some tough times during his playing career, Srama feels giving back is the best way to contribute.
“I say and promote to the players I coach and with everyone I’m in contact with Srama Rugby League Recruitment, treat others how you want to be treated so hopefully something so little can assist in anyways for clubs during these tough times for the game and life in general.”
“I am passionate about the game and helping others. Hopefully everyone in the rugby league world can get out the other side intact.”
Luke’s motto is simple.
“Happy Days turn a negative into a positive, keep in the grind #livelifelikearugbyleaguegame“.
It hurts Srama that the game he lives and breathes is going through the biggest challenge ever faced.
“Obviously it’s upsetting and affecting not only myself but everyone in the game from the bottom up.”
“One minute I’m the busiest man in rugby league world online and in person. Next minute I’m at the footy oval kicking and passing the ball to myself and the goal posts”, Srama laughs.
“It’s tough times as I’m a coach, player, recruitment, mentor, and involved in rugby league development. Everything with SRLR in rugby league.”
He acknowledges there’s more to life, than rugby league.
“Everyday life is more important during these times as a father, partner, son and keeping everyone safe.”
Srama is hopeful that rugby league can survive the pandemic and come back bigger and stronger.
“Exposure and money is what held the game back globally, so a positive that we’re on the same level as all sports at the moment.”
“A positive is with competitions cancelled, it gives time to work on skills and coaching with juniors. Work on defence, break down the game again away from wrestle and all nations close together.”
“There’s always positives, we lost some nations and gained some nations with rugby league during the War so all keeping positive and we’ll get through it all but main focus is everyone keeping safe”.

What is a crossdreamer?
A crossdreamer is a person who gains sexual, emotional and psychic satisfaction from cross gender ideas or behaviour.
The sexual fantasies of male to female crossdreamers can include any or all of the following…
- 1. Being dressed as a girl. (transvestic)
- 2. Behaving like a girl. (behavioural)
- 3. Being embodied as a female and having a vagina etc. (anatomical)
The common thread of these fantasies is the need to be feminine.
This does not mean they aren’t turned on by heterosexual sex. Many crossdreamers are married and able to play the sexual role expected of a husband. However, deep down their fantasies always return to being feminine.
Where does the term come from?
‘Crossdreaming’ is a term coined by Jack Molay for a phenomenon that some sexologists refer to as ‘autogynephilia’ (and psychiatrists as transvestic fetishism.) For many transgender theorists, however, crossdreamer sexuality is simply a logical consequence of being trapped in the wrong body.
The new term was coined not only because autogynephilia and transvestic fetishism are seen as offensive, but because they fail to adequately capture the behaviour they try to describe.
- Autogynephilia overreaches and tries to create some elaborate theory of transsexualism.
- Transvestic fetishism underreaches and attributes everything to a fetish for female clothing.
The good thing about ‘crossdreaming’ is that it is not entirely sexual. It includes fantasies that are emotional and centred on a broader sense of self. The picture above perfectly captures the concept. Unlike autogynephilia, it’s dreamy and includes the personality.
Why might someone see themselves as a ‘sissy’ or ‘autogynephiliac’ rather than a crossdreamer?
For many, reaching climax is the end of their cross gender experience. They have no desire to cross gender in any context other than a sexual one. Furthermore, they may be embarrassed about their sexuality. Therefore, they prefer to think of it as a fetish with no deeper ramifications for their psyche.
For those quacks who are determined to reduce cross gender arousal to a fetish, crossdreaming is seen as dressing it all up in flowery language to make it less sexual. It’s also a favored target of internet trolls who like to harass proponents of the term and accuse them of converting autogynephilia into transgenderism.
Is ‘crossdreaming’ the only politically correct term for cross gender arousal?
Because contemporary gender theory states that gender is a matter of self identification, all terms such as ‘cross gender arousal’ and the love of oneself ‘as’ a woman are deemed offensive. If a transgender person is engaging in such fantasy then they are not crossing gender at all, as their gender is that which they fantasize about.
This leaves Jack Molay’s term as the only acceptable label for such behavior.
(You can visit Jack’s website – crossdreamers.com
What’s the relationship between crossdreaming and late-onset transsexualism?
The causal relationship between a sexual interest in being a woman and the latent development of a transgender identity is fiercely controversial.
If you claim that late-onset transsexualism is an outgrowth of cross gender sexuality then many transwomen say you invalidate their identity. To them, it is reducing their femininity to a fetish.
If you want to save yourself a lot of time (and controversy) then be aware that such a causal link can never be empirically proven or disproven. Therefore, I advise you to keep an open mind. If someone says they find ‘autogynephilia’ offensive then respect their wish and don’t use the term.

Comments that Jack Molay wanted to add to my definition…
“Thank you for this one, Felix. I can relate to all of this.
Several things happened after I came up with the term, which is — as you point out — a non-toxic alternative to the term “autogynephilia”.
- 1. I realized that it was a much broader term than “autogynephilia”) which only covers people assigned male at birth who are attracted to women). I have learned to know MTF crossdreamers who love men as well as many FTM crossdreamers who love men.
- 2. The term has taken on a life on its own. While it originally referred to sexual fantasies, crossdreamers found that that was a too narrow perspective, and included non-sexual interests, expressions and identity traits as well.
As for “sissy” fiction and imagery. This is definitely an expression of MTF crossdreamer sexuality, but it is not the only one. If you go over to sites like Fictionmania, you will find that a lot of crossdreamer fiction is not sexual at all, and that much of what is erotic or even pornographic, does not fit the “sissy” aesthetics of submission and “bimbofication”.
I am not saying this because “sissy” fantasies are wrong or amoral. Fantasies are fantasies and we should only be held accountable for our actions, but many MTF crossdreamers do dream about becoming strong, intelligent, independent women — also in bed.
In my own life I have also noticed that my fantasies change as I am able to integrate this part of me into my sense of self.”
Thanks, Jack 😉

Do you ever wish you could take a horrifying job experience and turn it into something positive? My latest fictional character, Andi Anna Jones, is my way of coming to terms with a short-lived career as a travel agent. Oh, yes, I was truly awful, and often wished I could disappear into the life of a fictional confident, efficient protagonist who could think on her feet. Unfortunately, my crowning achievement was pretending to be as invisible as possible when customers walked through the door.
When a long-time neighbor, Parker Graves, inexplicably wills Graves Travel to Andi, she soon discovers booking airline reservations, cruise packages, and tours, is not her bag. She is, however, smart enough to hire someone who fits that bill. Ellie Clanton, straight out of Tennessee with the twang to match, often stumps the Miami clientele with questions such as, “Wut kinda saaaeeets do you wont?” (aisle or window?), but her speed and efficiency makes up for any language barrier.
Andi’s inferiority complex, about her job performance, isn’t her only concern. She’s also super-sensitive about her single status; especially when her younger sister, Georgia, blathers on about her perfect family consisting of four kids and devoted husband. “When are you going to settle down, Andi? You’re pushing forty, ya know.”
Maybe the desire to find something more meaningful in her life allows her “inner sleuth” to emerge when forced to fly to Cancun after her dad’s widow is arrested for murder. Fleshing out clues and solving mysteries far surpasses her ability to book vacations and handle complaints from unhappy clients. Andi finally feels alive. And, while her old fears and inadequacies continue to slip in, the excitement of a good mystery pushes her far beyond pre-conceived safe boundaries.
One of the first bits of advice I received when I became serious about writing books and getting them published was, “Write what you know”. I followed that advice with Andi, her South Florida location, and even her sidekick, Ellie. Oh, yes, I worked with a gifted travel agent who made my Southern Indiana accent sound like I grew up in New Joisey.
Would I have continued writing my whole life without my dad, a career journalist, inspiring me? Or if all my teachers from third grade on hadn’t planted the words, “Mary, never stop writing” in my brain? Or perhaps it was the satisfaction I got after my mother read my first family memoir and said, “This is pretty good!” (I chose to ignore the surprise in her voice)
As the late, great Georgia author, Terry Kay, said in a keynote speech, (paraphrased) “I don’t care how your writing makes you feel. All that matters is how the reader feels.” So, if you enjoy reading Andi Anna Jones half as much as I enjoyed writing it, we’ll both be winners!

Andi Anna Jones, so-so travel agent and amateur sleuth, puts aside her resentment of her father’s widow and books a sixtieth birthday cruise to Cancun for Ruby and three friends. Never does Andi imagine the cruise will include the murder of a has-been lounge singer—or that Ruby might be the main suspect.
Flirting with more than danger after arriving in Mexico, Andi connects with charming local sheriff, Manual Gonzales. An embarrassing night involving the sheriff, too many margaritas, and a Mariachi band, can’t quell her determination to clear the name of her ex-stepmother.
While gathering clues and interviewing witnesses, however, she suspects dear old step-mom isn’t the only one in jeopardy.
Author, Mary Cunningham, grew up on the northern side of the Ohio River in Corydon, Indiana. Her first memories are of her dad’s original bedtime stories that no doubt inspired her imagination and love of a well-spun “yarn.”
Through the author’s horrifying stint as a travel agent, Andi Anna Jones sprang to life. The adult/mystery series gives extra meaning to the phrase, “Write what you know.” Cunningham has several books published, including Cynthia’s Attic, a five-book middle-grade fantasy, women’s lifestyle/humor book, WOOF: Women Only Over Fifty, Ebooks, Christmas With Daisy and Ghost Light. A biography of an army brat, turned UConn and WNBA basketball player, will be published in the spring of 2022.
When she gives her fingers a break from the keyboard, Mary enjoys golf, swimming, and exploring the mountains of West Georgia where she makes her home with her husband and adopted, four-legged, furry daughter, Lucy.

14 Clothing Mistakes You Might Be Guilty of Making
Wearing clothes is something we all do on a daily basis and at varying levels of fashion and formality. And while there are so many magazines and guides about how to dress properly, there are still simple mistakes we all make. Maybe it’s because we don’t really care or because we are not aware of the mistake. That’s why we decided to let you know about some common mistakes that can be fixed with just one move.
1. You don’t accessorize your dresses
The look on the left is good for pregnant women. The look with the belt looks more balanced.
2. Wearing a loose sweater with a skirt
A loose sweater can hide your waistline and make your lower body shorter. Use a belt, like shown in the picture, to lift the sweater and elongate your figure.
3. You don’t wash your denim often enough
Washing your clothes in a wrong way can lead to their damage, but washing them not often enough is also not an option. For example, the fibers of 100% cotton jeans relax during wearing, causing jeans to stretch over time. Regular washing will help prevent this.
You can shrink denim by washing it in very hot water.
4. Pulling down your top to hide your belly
Do not pull your shirt down too much as this can divide your figure into 2 disproportionate pieces. This is especially true when the colors of the bottom and the top are contrasting. Tuck the shirt into the skirt and put an unbuttoned sweater or jacket on top.
5. Wearing your bra the wrong way
The back of your bra crawls up your back toward your shoulders. It might be a size too big for you. The lack of proper support can result in shoulder and back pain. Get the correct bra measurement and buy the one with a back band that will stay horizontal when you wear it.
6. Not showing your thinner parts: wrists, waist, or neck
When we feel extra weight on ourselves, we want to wrap ourselves up in clothes so no one will notice us. But we have to remember to expose our wrists, waistline, neck, or ankles. These are the parts that make us look thin and feminine.
7. Wearing a shirt that is so tight it causes gaping
Wearing a tight shirt, trying to look sharp, without considering whether there will be unwanted gaping between the buttons. It can lead to discomfort, breathing problems, and embarrassment if a button pops off. Ensure that the shirt is straight and smooth when buttoned up and that there is no gap in between the buttons. You can also choose a looser cut, add a button or stitch along the seams so that the buttons are covered.
8. Being afraid of monochromatic looks
We often avoid monochromatic looks because they may seem boring and simple, but this is not true. A contrasting bottom can only widen your look. You can see a good example in the above pictures. If you chose a skirt, then tuck your top into it so you don’t shift the level of your waist.
9. Wearing shorts that keep riding up
Having to constantly pull down your shorts because they keep riding up. It may cause discomfort and show more skin than you intended. Try on the shorts you want before buying and do squats to see if the length is what you are comfortable with.
10. Forgetting about vertical lines
The longer the vertical line, the slimmer you look. Leave your jacket open and choose the right length. There should not be too many horizontal stripes around the abdominal part.
11. Putting on clothes with wide horizontal stripes
Wide, horizontal stripes are a complete no-no for a large majority of the population. So unless you are very sure that you can pull them off, or you’re going to a wide-horizontal-stripes costume party, it’s best to stay away from these.
Horizontal stripes accentuate the wrong features of your body. A better option would be to go for either a dress in a solid color or a dress with a tiny print.
12. Wearing narrow-toed shoes and high heels too often
Insisting on wearing narrow-toed shoes or high heels most of the time. Narrow-toed shoes can cause the foot to take on the shape of the shoe and result in deformities like hammer toes and corns. High heels can result in bunions, knee pain, and lower back pain.
Because your feet may swell throughout the day, purchase shoes toward the end of the day to ensure maximum comfort. You should have 1/2 inch of space between your longest toe and the tip of the shoe. Forgo high heels when you need to do a lot of walking.
13. Breaking the body’s proportions
The first image looks really boring and out of proportion, which makes the body seem almost longer than the legs. Here is how I corrected it:
- Changed the shoes for high-heeled ones, to make my legs look longer. By the way, if you opt for shoes in the same color as your pants or tights, your legs will seem longer — it’s true!!!
- Unbuttoned several buttons on the shirt to make my neck look longer and make my look more flirty and feminine.
- Rolled up the sleeves of my shirt to show my thin wrists. It gave a lightness to my look and made me look slimmer.
- Added accessories to make the overall look more interesting. That could be a bright red bag or a black hat, if you want to stay away from bright details. Both tips work well.
- Corrected proportions. You can either enhance the waist with the help of a belt and keep the shirt buttoned up. Or you can unbutton the shirt thus creating a vertical line in your look if you don’t like belts and don’t want to create a focus on your waist. This trick will help you look slimmer. In this case, it’s better to go for a shirt that matches the shade of the trousers. | <urn:uuid:90184cab-77c9-4921-ba1f-ecb1aa9f336a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://nowiveseeneverything.club/articles/14-clothing-mistakes-you-might-be-guilty-of-making-8736/ | 2023-09-27T13:07:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.933243 | 1,281 |
KJIPUKTUK (Halifax) – This week Canadian Blood Services workers, on strike for a long eight months in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, looked on helplessly while Nova Scotia workers, members of a different local of the same union, crossed their picket line.
Some picketers made their displeasure known in no uncertain terms.
The Nova Scotia workers, members of Local 12 of the Nova Scotia Union of Public and Private Employees (NSUPE), were there to conduct a mobile clinic at Miscouche.
Doing so was part of their trditional job description, they weren’t doing work otherwise done by members of the PEI local.
Refusal to cross the picket line could result in discipline against the individuals and fines against the union, the Nova Scotia workers had been advised. The union, rather than push the envelope, decided to follow that advice.
To witness the workers crossing the line was very hard on the PEI workers, says a disappointed Tanya Herrell, president of the eight members strong Local 19.
“My emotions are a bit rough right now. Today is the last day. Another long day, but we’ll do it, and go from there,” she tells the Nova Scotia Advocate.
The PEI workers, all women, want a guaranteed number of hours of work each week, in order to have a bit of certainty in their lives and qualify for health benefits. Their employer, Canadian Blood Services (CBS), has not budged.
Some Nova Scotia workers joined the striking women on the picket line on their lunch hour, Herrell says.
This was the first mobile clinic conducted in PEI since the start of the strike. CBS has stated that it decided to hold the clinic so as to maintain its connections with PEI donors, but Herrell doesn’t buy that.
“CBS is trying to get the two locals fighting,” she says. “The Nova Scotia contract is up as well. Division between the two locals will work in their favour.”
It is widely assumed that CBS intends to challenge the guaranteed hours clause in the Nova Scotia workers’ collective agreement as well.
“We want to make sure that both locals realize that this is not one local doing this to another. This is CBS doing this to us,” says Joe Kaiser, president of NSUPE, who joined the PEI workers on the picket line on the first day of the three-day mobile clinic.
“The PEI local is striking for everybody,” Kaiser adds.
Could the union defy the legal threats and send a clear signal of solidarity?
Given the potential heavy fines and discipline Kaiser doesn’t think so. There is no clause in the collective agreements to deal with this situation, because nothing like thist has ever happened before, he explains.
There is a silver lining, says Herrell. The number of people who ended up crossing the line to donate is very low.
“Many people who came to give blood decided to leave once we talked with them.. Most didn’t know we were still on the picket line, they assumed that the strike must be over if they were holding a clinic on PEI,” Herrell says.
:A huge thanks to all the donors that supported us, we met a lot of great people the last couple of days,” she says.
May 20th: Amended to clarify that the mobile clinic has always been conducted by the Nova Scotia workers. It was not a job typically done by workers in the PEI local.
Email Graham Sher, CEO of CBS (who scrapes by on a mere $700,000 a year) to let him know you support the Charlottetown workers.

NUBA presented last night in Seville, to the prestigious Antares Chamber, the trends in incentive travel for 2023. The event, which took place at La Galería ABC, brought together businessmen and Sevillian high society in a setting full of inspiration and discovery.
During the event, Daniel Miranda, NUBA’s commercial director, was able to share with attendees the trends that will set the tone in the incentive travel industry this year, in which Jordan, Egypt, Albania and Saudi Arabia will be the protagonists.
Miranda explained that these trips are much more than just getaways or rewards for employees. This is a powerful strategic tool that boosts performance, motivation and commitment of work teams; they also provide companies with the opportunity to recognize and reward achievements employees, as well as to foster a positive work environment and strengthen the bonds within the team.
“By bringing employees together outside of the work environment, it creates an environment conducive to strengthening interpersonal relationships and promoting effective communication. The moments of leisure and fun shared during the trip help break down barriers and build mutual trust, which translates into better performance and greater efficiency,” says Daniel Miranda.
Another key aspect discussed was the ability of this type of travel to drive creativity and innovation. creativity and innovation.. By getting away from the daily routine and exploring new and stimulating environments, employees have the opportunity to unwind, recharge their batteries and let their imaginations run wild. These moments of inspiration can lead to new ideas, innovative solutions and fresh approaches to business challenges.
NUBA Incentivos has established itself as a leader in the organization of corporate travel. With its innovative approach and commitment to creating memorable experiences, it is positioned as the ideal partner for those who want to boost the performance and motivation of their teams.
NUBA Incentives’ proposal goes beyond a simple trip. With a strategic and personalized approach, the firm works closely with companies to understand their specific objectives and needs. From there, it creates tailored programs that align with their corporate culture.
The more than 80 attendees who attended this event were able to learn first-hand about the incredible proposal of Los Cabos and Iberia, which, with a fantastic presentation, tempted all attendees to get to know the destination of Baja California.

People before profit
Treating our employees fairly is an investment in the long-term success of our business and the well-being of our community. We are vocal supporters of a living wage, paid sick days and fair scheduling practices.
In August 2023 we became certified by the Ontario Living Wage Network. A living wage is not the same as the minimum wage, which is the legislated minimum all employers must pay and is set by the provincial government. The living wage reflects what people need to earn to cover the actual costs of living and enjoy participation in their community. It draws on community-specific data and is different for every city. Living wage employers like us voluntarily decide to pay a living wage and maintain their certification as new rates are calculated for their area.
We are proud to be the only grocery store in Ottawa to commit to paying a living wage, and one of only 8 in the whole Province of Ontario.
We are environmental activists at heart and the protection and preservation of our planet is NU's reason to be. While our focus is on waste reduction, we know that environmental issues are highly intertwined. Promoting the zero waste lifestyle means proposing an alternative to the reckless consumerism that depletes our resources and threatens our life support systems.
An important aspect of the zero waste lifestyle is to buy less, and to buy better. That's why our products are carefully curated. We favour all-natural, organic and locally sourced food products made with ingredients that we can all understand. Our non-food products are plastic-free, made with sustainable materials, cruelty-free and contain no harmful chemicals.
Zero Waste Operations
The average Canadian might produce a whopping 700 kg of waste per year (one of the highest rates in the industrial world), but waste is created throughout the supply chain.
At NU, we work constantly to keep our operations as low waste as possible. This means favouring local suppliers who deliver with reusable containers and take them back (circular supply chain), composting organic waste, reusing cardboard boxes from our suppliers for our own deliveries, and more!
We are proud to be one of the hubs of Ottawa's ever-growing zero waste community. NU is more than a storefront. NU is a platform to exchange and educate about waste. We offer regular free workshops on waste-related topics and share many resources and tips on our social media. We have also given many talks in schools, universities, government agencies and at public events on the topic of zero waste and responsible consumerism. | <urn:uuid:768793ee-1a45-4e1a-b85f-5c3bd976d55d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://nugrocery.com/pages/behind-the-label | 2023-09-27T11:31:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.95918 | 519 |

Price control measures drive the debate on inflation and fuel to its highest volume since May
Updated 13 de June, 2022 at 4:53 pm
- Debates on inflation and fuel are highly associated in the period
- Bolsonaro’s support group blamed Petrobras, in line with the privatization agenda.
The announcement of price control measures for fuel by President Jair Bolsonaro drove the debate on the topic, with more than 132,000 mentions between June 6 and 7. Those were the findings of a survey by the Department of Public Policy Analysis at Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV DAPP), which analyzed the evolution of mentions in the debates on inflation, fuel and privatization between May 1 and June 7. The peak of discussion prompted by the announcement also drove the debate on inflation and far surpassed the volume of debate that happened on May 12, when the IBGE announced the inflation rate.
Evolution of economic topic in the debate about the elections on Twitter
Period: May 1 to June 7 | Aggregated per day
Source: Twitter | Elaborated by: FGV DAPP
- The disclosure of record profits by Petrobras in the first quarter of 2022 caused indignation in a peak of discussion on May 6 due to the company’s fuel price readjustments and price policies. Although President Bolsonaro appealed for there to be no new readjustments during his live broadcast on May 5, many posts blamed the president for bad administration that affected inflation. The president’s supporters blamed Petrobras for the economic downturn and encouraged its privatization.
- While critics of the president highlighted the abusive fuel prices and a potential correction with the return of former president Lula, Bolsonaro supporters blamed Petrobras and saw the readjustments as a maneuver to overthrow the president. In addition, the suspension of presidential decrees by Supreme Court ministers was also seen as a cause of inflation.
- A statement made by the Senate President Rodrigo Pacheco (PSD-MG), claiming that there would be no time to address the privatization of Petrobras in Congress, generated strong mobilization about this topic on May 12. The senator’s position displeased both the ruling wing, which favors privatization, and the opposition groups, who saw the statement as a pretext for President Jair Bolsonaro to continue claiming that he cannot govern due to impasses between the branches of power.
- May 12 was also marked by a lot of discussion around the topic of inflation, with the news that the phenomenon had already reached 12% this year, affecting several products. While government supporters argued that the price hike is a global phenomenon due to the pandemic and the war in Ukraine, critical opinions of Bolsonaro attribute the problem to the current economic administration.
- Jair Bolsonaro’s announcement of proposals to control recent increases in gasoline and cooking gas prices on June 7 increased the debate about fuel and inflation on Twitter. Praising the initiative, the pro-government group highlighted the president’s decision to bear the impact that the proposal would have on the state government budgets. Opposition groups, on the other hand, saw the attitude as an election maneuver, since the proposal’s implementation would take more than a year. | <urn:uuid:355d8ed6-a563-4917-a0a2-35311c81a6d5> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://observademocraciadigital.org/en/posts/price-control-measures-drive-the-debate-on-inflation-and-fuel-to-its-highest-volume-since-may/ | 2023-09-27T11:41:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.966776 | 669 |
Many of us may recall a youth filled with pretend fashion shows in the living room, when you forced your friends to parade around in self-styled frocks.
For Zac Posen, those frocks were expertly-draped dresses, worn by his supermodel friends, while Henri Bendel buyers sipped tea in his kitchen.
This is just one of many home footage scenes weaved into House of Z, a documentary on the designer’s life that premiered today at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City. While the fashion “it” crowd will undoubtedly be running to see this flick, it will also appeal to lovers of documentaries, or anyone fighting to make it as a creative in this erratic city.
There’s no question that Posen was a young prodigy. But like any good journalist, director and producer Sandy Chronopoulos spent years filming and asking the bigger questions. Audiences get to see a weaker side to Posen, which includes the family, financial and ego related downfalls, cultivated by the fashion industry and economic recession.
“It took bravery and confidence in our director in order to make this film,” Posen told the Observer. “I’m protective of my family, specifically their privacy. Since I was 21, there have been many moments in my life and career that have been scrutinized in the public eye. I thought it was important to show people what it takes to create fashion….you have to take risks and learn in order to grow.”
A classic (and somewhat privileged) Manhattan story, Posen was raised in SoHo in a successful, artistic family. Supportive in nature, his parents devoted much of their lives to launching his career and keeping it afloat. Chronopoulos was able to capture the behind-the-scenes tension and issues that were kept hidden from the public eye at the time.
“It didn’t happen overnight,” Chronopoulos told Observer. “It took three years of developing trust to piece together the answers and get the story right. It wasn’t a topic he wanted to talk about in the beginning. It was a natural evolution and asking the right questions at the right time…it’s very tough to get someone to talk about what happens inside the walls of their family.”
Perhaps even more challenging to expose are the downsides of the fashion world, because its members are adept at maintaining a glossy façade. We are able to witness some of this through Posen’s emotional career struggles.
“Many of the experts I interviewed were very forthcoming about the industry, that it can be vicious at times, with many slings and arrows,” said Chronopoulos. “It’s a tough and relentless business and the pace is getting faster. Zac does 16-plus collections a year…you need to be resilient to make it. Zac is resilient, and has kept his sense of humor through it all.”
One of the most rewarding moments of the film, are when Posen’s designs come to life in slow motion on the runway and take on their own persona.
“I was struck by how much love he puts into the clothing and how hard he fights to keep the art alive in this world of fast fashion. He is a real champion of craftsmanship,” said Chronopoulos.
The true takeaway from House of Z is something that many of us are craving (and lacking) in today’s social media-maze of celebutantes. When the money and fame are stripped away, is there anything left? In Zac Posen’s case, yes, the talent was always there.
“The most significant pieces for me are the ones that come from my drapings,” Posen admitted. “It’s emotional because they are created by my hand and then become a collaborative process in the atelier. Different pieces are linked to different times and moments in my life…..I don’t like to spend much time looking backwards, but when I reflect it’s clear that the industry has evolved tremendously. The practice of patience in crafting and process is a virtue that needs to come back.”

Coming from a small district Nizamabad in Northern Andhra Pradesh, Phanindra Sama never had any plans to become an entrepreneur. After an engineering degree from BITS Pilani and post graduation of Indian Institute of Sciences he was happily working with a Bengaluru-based company.
But one bad experience led him to find solution for everyone who had ever faced that same problem that he had. This led to building of one of India’s most popular portals which fetched Sama a sum of Rs 600 crore!
Life was going smooth for Phanindra and he often took a bus to Hyderabad to visit his parents. However on one fateful day in 2005, things did not go as he had planned. It was Diwali time and like all his roommates he wanted to go back home to spend a festive weekends with his parents. On the way to his regular travel agent he got stuck in traffic and reached late. All tickets to Hyderabad had been sold by then.
“He got me a ticket every time I went to him but he couldn’t help me that one time and asked me approach another travel agent,” says Phanindra. He visited the second travel agent near by and he too was unable to get him a ticket to Hyderabad. Then he went to a third agent but returned empty-handed. In that one evening he had approached 4-5 travel agents but none of him were able to get him a ticket. This frustrated him big time.
Poor Phanindra returned to an empty flat and spent the weekend sulking and wondering why there was no solution to this yet. “Being an engineer the solution was very obvious to me. Why couldn’t there be a computer system where all the bus operators mention how many buses they run and what is the live inventory at that moment. And I go to the first travel agent and he logs on to the system and calls only that bus operator who has a seat vacant,” he says.
That night he wrote a mail to all his flatmates explaining what happened with him. Over the weekend he visited his regular travel agent and asked him as many questions as he could to understand the process of booking bus ticket. The travel agent had witnessed enthusiasts like Phanindra before who had miserably failed at finding a solution to this complex problem. He advised him to go back and forget about the incident.
By this time, Sama had decided that he would find answer to this in technology despite the fact that he knew no programming or coding. But he needed to find answers to several questions which could help him understand how the travel agents worked with bus operators. Nobody seemed to entertain his curiosity and he was shooed away from every office. The breakthrough finally came when he met a young travel agent who was also an engineer. He understood what Phanindra was on to and was happy to give a peek into the world on bus ticket booking.
Now after having understood how things worked, he along with his flatmates decided to create a free, open sourced platform for the travel agents. Phanindra was so passionate about finding a solution to this problem that he did not think not knowing programming is a problem. He literally started from scratch and bought books to learn coding and programming.
After working for months the friends came up with the first version of the software. But there came another setback when the travel operators refused to use it. “They saw no value in it. All they wanted was to increase their sales, sell more tickets,” says Phanindra. That is when it stuck him to develop a product for consumers which would allow them to book tickets and Redbus was born.
After initial convincing the travel agents began to use their product and saw their sales improving. It was a major achievement for Redbus as people who were illiterates and did not know how to use a computer had become experts using their product and were benefiting from it. When they formally launched Redbus they expected 100 bus operators logging on to it in the next five years but the technological boom had hit India and they had 400 registrations from travel operators in the first year itself.
In June 2014, Ibibo acquired Redbus for a whopping Rs 600 crore. Phanindra now has more money in his bank account than what he could spent in his entire lifetime. The best part about the story is that he did not start it as a money-making enterprise. He simply wanted to find a solution and save anyone who would go through the same difficulties that he had faced.
“The freedom that I have of looking at the world with a different perspective is absolutely non-tradable for any kind of money”
For a couple of years it was extreme hardwork for Phanindra and his friends and their efforts were not appreciated by the people who were working in the travel industry for decades. But nothing made Phanindra give up on his idea and that’s what became a recipe for success.
