Difficulties in accessing the dollar debt market is hurting emerging markets like Kenya and could create 'a potential accident', the Central Bank of Kenya has warned.
The warning comes after Kenya was unable to tap the Eurobond or syndicated loan market early this year due to the current high cost of borrowing, with investors at some point, demanding rates of up to 22 percent to lend to the country.
The jump has been caused by aggressive rate increases in the developed world with America approving a third consecutive 75-basis-point hike that is set to push the cost of borrowing further out of reach.
This means that Kenya will find it difficult to take up new loans to repay maturing debts and if it is forced to borrow very expensively it will have challenges servicing the credit.
“The policies that are being adopted in the advanced economies, for instance, the rapid increase in interest rates, will have implications in the financial markets. At this moment the financial markets have indeed frozen us out and it is difficult for us to maintain our relationships in the capital markets and borrowing,” CBK Governor Patrick Njoroge told international media during his current US visit.
“Things will be a bit tougher for a bit longer, and of course, there is the issue of a potential accident in the financial market.”
Kenya will spend Sh1.36 trillion for debt repayment out of Kenya Revenue Authority’s (KRA) Sh2.03 trillion collection, underlining the heavy debt burden the new government has inherited from the Jubilee administration.
The country with a wage bill of Sh950 billion will find it hard to balance servicing the debt while still running government operations.
Initially, President William Ruto said he hopes current tax collections of Sh5.5 billion per day will be enough to fund an average of Sh3.74 billion daily to repay the country’s mounting debts and still run the government, after meeting with National treasury officials failed to offer an alternative solution to the debt crisis.
The new President in his maiden United Nations address, however, appeared to be considering debt restructuring when he asked the multilateral lenders and Paris Club of rich countries to reschedule developing world debt.
“The World Bank, the IMF and other lenders must extend pandemic-related debt relief to the worst-hit countries, especially those affected by the devastating combination of conflict, climate change and Covid-19,” President Ruto said.
“The G20 must also suspend or reschedule debt repayments by middle-income countries during the pandemic recovery period.”
President Ruto's government is facing the harsh international debt market that is demanding a premium to lend to Kenya in what has seen Treasury cancel a Eurobond issue and planned syndicated loans.
The new government has inherited a Sh8.6 trillion debt.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has classified Kenya’s debt at high risk of default with debt service consuming 63 per cent of tax revenue while parliament was forced to move the debt ceiling Sh10 trillion as an interim measure to allow the next government to fund its budget. | <urn:uuid:e6a776db-7b63-4085-8afb-2fa603ff129c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.businessdailyafrica.com/bd/economy/rate-hikes-in-dollar-market-worry-cbk-3958642 | 2023-09-27T11:26:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.954996 | 645 |
A little reflection on the past months…
Slowly but surely life starts to normalize again after a few hectic, covid-dominated months – and we couldn’t be happier about that. What a rollercoaster it has been! Behind the scenes at Butch Tailors, we took some time to reflect on our brand and vision as well as to reconnect with our beloved clients.
At the beginning of the year I was traveling as much as ever before. Mumbai, Istanbul, Miami, New York, Mexico City… I was waking up in a different hotel every few days and sold more than 1700 garments during this ‘grand trip’ of mine. A Belgian film crew followed my steps for a new tv-show, when boom, out of nowhere, a lockdown was announced.
Of course it was a huge shock for everybody, but I realized quite quickly that each crisis also holds an opportunity.
Truth be told: each crisis brings losers and winners. And with my positive mindset, I was determined to ‘make covid work for Butch Tailors’. In the end, you have to deal with the cards that life throws at you, right? So that’s what we did. Steve Jobs used the 30 percent rule to bring Apple back to life in the nineties, meaning that he focused on the 30 percent of the best products and ditched the other 70 percent. We did the same for Butch Tailors and took a critical look at our processes, down-sized where we could so that now we’re a smaller, but more efficient company. Thanks, Steve!
As I couldn’t travel as much as I did before, I had to find other ways of reaching my clients. Because business continued in full swing: people who were suits before, were still wearing suits (be it the lighter, unconstructed model) and those who weren’t, opted for more casual options like chinos, polos and knitwear. I communicated with them via Whatsapp and even created a digital template for new orders. Via this template, clients could communicate to me their color and material preferences. These past few months I also focused more on my Belgian clients and continued to assist them as best as I could.
If the crisis taught me anything, then it’s how important my relationship is with my clients. The amount of messages of clients – from all over the planet - asking me how I was doing, was heartwarming. It just proved to me that a tailor is as essential of a profession as a dentist or a hairdresser: people need their sartorial advisor to be there for them when they need him, crisis or no crisis.

Forget statistics and matchups, the winner of the NCAA Finals comes down to practice. Whose habits are stronger, North Carolina or Villanova? March Madness 2016 is won by kissing the court.
Tonight is the 2016 NCAA Tournament National Championship game between the North Carolina Tar Heels and the Villanova Wildcats. To determine a winner or handicap the matchup, most websites would go into how the teams will compare during the game, i.e. coaching, lineups, style of play, etc. What good is that going to do?! This is a one-game, winner-takes-all battle for the title. To know how someone will fair in such an environment, the best way is to judge how they practice. In practice is where teams put in the most work to get better and excel at their highest level. As the old saying goes, practice hard so the games are easy…or something of that nature.
ALSO ON BUZZCHOMP: Unanimous 2016 Fantasy Baseball Top Pick Is…
With that, I have here for you two photos of practices; one of the North Carolina Heels and the other of the Nova Wildcats. Using your keen eye, tell me which team you think has the edge in tonight’s game based on how each team goes about its practice. Do you like the Tar Heels, who seem to get around scoring slumps by using more and more basketballs? Or do you like Villanova, who relies on coaxing and seducing the very court itself? Each team’s strategy is sound. It is up to you to determine a winner.
Ah, the age-old question of more basketballs versus court courtship. Regardless of their methods, practice is certainly the reason both UNC and Villanova are playing in the NCAA Final, having decimated their Final Four opponents. I can’t say I didn’t see this coming, because I did see this coming. Congratulations are in order for myself. I correctly predicted this Finals matchup, winning our family bracket challenge which really should come with a cash prize. We suck.
Back to the action on the court and some practice analyzation. Determining the winner of the 2016 NCAA Finals is rather simple, yet profound. We already know Villanova is great at shooting the basketball, while the Tar Heels are excellent at rebounding and second chance points. These two facts resonate through our practice photos. North Carolina works incessantly to get as many balls into the hoop as possible. Yet there is only one basketball on the court during a real game. This severely limits the gains from practicing with ten balls. Perhaps if two or three basketballs could be used, UNC would have the advantage. But with one ball, their practice habits fall short.
The ultimate sacrifice in sports is made to the playing surface. Players give up their blood, sweat and tears to the basketball court during games. So what’s the best way to practice? To whom do the players owe their success? What entity is responsible for the bounce of the ball, the twist of an ankle, or the elevation of a jump shot? The court! Practice would not be complete without honoring such a huge part of the game. Personally I’d rather give the playing surface a giant hug, but its pretty impossible to wrap your arms around the entire court. This is why Villanova chose the kiss. Kissing the court ensures a balanced relationship built on love, trust and respect. It ensures a lasting bond necessary for success. It places care and compassion upon an otherwise hard and misunderstood entity. Thank you Villanova for reminding us that everything should be sealed with a kiss.
It pains me to pick Villanova in this game, but their practice habits are simply superior. I selected the Tar Heels in our bracket challenge, but I win the pool regardless of who wins this game. Therefore I can safely set aside my heart and pick with my head. Honoring the playing surface trumps a gross misuse of basketballs. Villanova tops North Carolina.

The California Golden Bears are looking to exact revenge for their season-opening loss last week and face off against the Oregon State Beavers today at 12:30 pm PT. The Bears are averaging 46 points per game in their last three meetings with the Beavers.
Usually, you don’t put too much value in a Week 1 performance in a normal season. In a season played amidst a global pandemic and a ‘season-opening’ game that saw the Bears pivot off their originally-scheduled opponent to traveling south to LA for a game with UCLA on two days notice, you truly can throw that out.
This is still the team that was picked No. 2 in the North Division and until they prove that their short-notice, disappointing performance against UCLA was who they are this year, you have to side with the fact that this is an experienced and talented team.
Cal should have the advantage just about everywhere on the field and Chase Garbers should be able to find a rhythm in the passing game against a team that the Bears have historically dominated.
Cal gets back on track, in a big way, ahead of the 123rd Big Game next week.

How do you know when you are doing the right thing or going in the right direction in life? Here is a question that everyone would love to be able to answer. The fact is that God says that we can know this. The way that we know it though is definitely outside of the mainstream of ideas that exist today. Let's take a look today at how we can know whether we are on course or not.
Solomon tells us here that there is a time when we will be able to discern some very important things. The first in his fourfold list is righteousness. Before we jump into those four things, we should see that discernment is involved. The word discern means that we are able to look at things and distinguish between them. We see differences between two or more things - and use that knowledge to understand them from God's vantage point. Here is our first very important lesson - things differ - and you can tell the difference. Most would agree with you on this truth - until you begin stating what you can distinguish between. The last thing we should address before we go into our list is that Solomon is stating what he does in verse 9 as a conclusion to all he has said before. What is it that allows us to have this discernment? It is the Word of God. All through this chapter he is calling for us to receive the Word, store up the Word in our hearts, cry out for God's work in teaching it to us, and to seek for the Word as one would buried treasure. The discernment of which we speak here is a discernment that comes only because of the way the Word works in our hearts.
As I said earlier, the first in his fourold list if righteousness. We will be able to discern when something is right or not. Now is the moment when the postmodern among us throw up their red flags. They assert someone might know right and wrong for themselves - but consider it the height of arrogance to think or state that anyone might be able to discern right and wrong for everyone. But that is exactly what Proverbs asserts here - and more by the time we finish with the four things Solomon says can be discerned.
The second in our list of four is justice. Our society cries out for justice - but unfortunately the justice they want ignores the Word of God. It ignores what God calls just in many cases - and completely ignores the problem of how we can be just before Him. Whereas the world cries for social justice - God offers absolute justice. These are not always opposed to one another - but - God ultimately wants us to be able to stand before Him just and righteous - and that requires the person and the work of Jesus Christ to happen.
The third thing we will be able to discern is equity. Here, my friends is a loaded word. "Meysar" is the word the Hebrews used to describe equity. It means rightness, correctness, and fairness. The word meant something smooth and level. Communism is man's way of trying to make everything equitable. Pure communism takes from everyone and then redistributes it so everyone gets an equal share. It does not take into account work ethic or whether someone has truly earned their share with hard work. And since pure communism would require pure hearts to work - we see that in practical communism - the ruling class takes and redistributes so everyone is equally as poor - while they live in the lap of luxury and take care of those who most honor and support their rule. When God speaks of equity He is speaking of how a state should judge fairly and honorably. He is speaking of how His promises are available to all. To "discern" equity we need to see things as God does - for fairness and correctness begins with what is fair and right in God's eyes. When we bring God into this equation - we have serious trouble for mankind. Man is sinful and rebellious - and what is fair for him is God's wrath and judgment. What we should find amazing about God's equity is that He chose to pay the price of equity for us - and instead of giving us what is fair, He gave us grace instead.
Finally, through the Word, we can discern every good course. We will know the right ways to walk - and God will indicate to us wrongs ones as well. This right and wrong will correspond to what He says in His Word. Thus we have the ultimate aggravation to the modernist. We assert that through God's Word we have an "absolute standard" upon which all things in life is to be measured. If actions and choices and lifestyles do not measure up to what God calls good, right, just, and equitable - they are wrong. And thus begins the clash of worldviews. True Judaism and Christianity will always find themselves at odds with the rest of the worldviews that come from men. They end up at odds because they have the audacity of claiming that God's Word is a revelation of THE truth. For those who reject this claim - the world is a mish-mash of conflicting morals and ideas. We all get along by ultimately stating that both everything is right, as well as everything is wrong. It might be right for us while at the same time being wrong for others. The resulting public moral quicksand creates a world in which all things are to be tolerated except the arrogance of Judaism and Christianity who assert that their worldview is absolute. That view - that view that states that there is absolute truth and it is found in God's Word - is the one that absolutely cannot be tolerated. Too bad though - because it is the only worldview that creates the stability of actually knowing whether the path you are taking will ultimately lead to blessing or destruction. | <urn:uuid:3b846355-a668-40a4-a9d7-8f31f6b2b2a4> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.calvarychapeljonesboro.org/proverb-a-day/category/equity | 2023-09-27T10:43:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.973689 | 1,160 |

Winnipeg wastewater treatment plants stir emotionsCompanies & People Engineering
Wastewater treatment processes don't often spark hot debate, but in Winnipeg they have been stirring emotions ...
Wastewater treatment processes don’t often spark hot debate, but in Winnipeg they have been stirring emotions among city officials and hitting newspaper headlines.
At issue is whether the city should have to include advanced nitrogen removal in the upgrades it is undertaking for its wastewater treatment plants. The city is embarking on its largest capital project to date with upgrades to its North and South End plants, valued at around $600 million in total.
The province wants the city to include a process to convert nitrates into nitrogen gas so that the nitrogen will be released into the atmosphere as opposed to ending up in the Lake Winnipeg. The lake has been plagued with blue-green algae blooms, or cyanobacteria, and scientists don’t seem to agree on how to resolve the problem.
A report prepared by the Manitoba Clean Environment Commission and submitted to the provincial Minister of Conservation in March, recommended that to alleviate the algae problem, the City of Winnipeg should remove both nitrogen and phosphorus from its wastewater. That report was written by a panel based in part on earlier findings by Associated Engineering that looked into the cost of adding nitrogen removal. The panel also attended an expert symposium, and took into account recommendations from government agencies and the province’s Environment Act.
However, a group of 63 prominent scientists and engineers are questioning the wisdom of including nitrogen removal, saying that not only is the cost of removing nitrogen too high, but also that removing nitrogen could actually worsen Lake Winnipeg’s problem with blue green algae.
This group, which includes City of Winnipeg engineers, academics such as Professor D. Schindler from the University of Alberta, and scientists from Fisheries and Oceans Canada, prepared a poster for an environmental conference in Poland. Their poster, entitled “Environmentally Sensible Effluent Nitrogen Limits,” proposes “to show the disconnect between protecting the aquatic environment and the drive to reach increasingly lower nitrate nitrogen limits” in the Lake Winnipeg watershed. The group says that to implement nitrogen removal increases the carbon footprint of the plant, and “may in fact promote blooms of cyanobacteria in Lake Winnipeg.” They say the focus must be on removing phosphorus, not nitrogen.
This group calculates it will cost $430 million to overhaul the city’s North End plant to include nitrogen as well as phosphorus removal, whereas it will cost only $130 million to implement phosphorus removal only. Over 20 years, the added cost of nitrogen removal would be $750 more.
Discussing the issue in his annual report, the chair of the Manitoba Clean Environment Commission said, “Nutrient management has a significant impact on the health of Lake Winnipeg. The issue came fraught with baggage. Scientific opinion covered a very wide spectrum. Debate had become passionate, polarized, and public. It risked becoming overly simplified and too narrowly focused.
Several wastewater treatment plants in western Canada do remove nitrogen. However, Mike Shkolny, P.Eng., manager of water and wastewater for the City of Winnipeg, says that Winnipeg’s situation is very different to that of cities like Edmonton or Calgary which discharge into nearby rivers because Lake Winnipeg is 60 miles away from the city treatment plants.
Shkolny explains that the scientists who argue against removing nitrogen from the wastewater do so because they say that deprived of nitrogen in the water, the algae will actually simply compensate by capturing nitrogen from the air.
The Lake Winnipeg watershed is the second largest in Canada and serves 6.6 million people. The lake are itself is 24,500 square kilometres.
Shkolny says the city is proceeding according to the provincial guidelines and they are currently looking for “strategic partners” to help them design and build the upgrades to the North and South End plants. | <urn:uuid:e2ab8954-b7d3-4750-8ed9-b0ed3e1bc3b7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.canadianconsultingengineer.com/companies-people/winnipeg-wastewater-treatment-plants-stir-emotions/1000343032/ | 2023-09-27T12:40:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.960598 | 804 |
A harsh truth about lung cancer is that it doesn’t usually cause symptoms until the cancer has spread, which makes it difficult to treat. That’s why the idea of screening – looking for lung cancer in people who do not have any symptoms – is appealing and can be helpful. It has the potential to find the cancer earlier, when it might be easier to treat.
But screening carries risks that may outweigh the benefits for most people. The people who are most likely to benefit from screening are those at higher risk for lung cancer. Decisions about cancer screening during the COVID-19 pandemic depend on many factors, and they may not be the same for every person. Talk to your healthcare provider about what the best decision for you might be.
A test known as low-dose CAT scan or CT scan (LDCT) has been studied in people at a higher risk of getting lung cancer. LDCT scans can help find abnormal areas in the lungs that may be cancer. Research has shown that using LDCT scans to screen people at higher risk of lung cancer saved more lives compared to using chest x-rays. For higher risk people, getting yearly LDCT scans before symptoms start helps lower the risk of dying from lung cancer.
To weigh the benefits and risks before issuing current guidelines, experts at the American Cancer Society reviewed several studies that looked at low-dose CT screening. The most significant was the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST). This study included more than 50,000 people aged 55 to 74. At the time of the study. the participants were either people who currently smoked or they smoked before with at least a 30 pack-year history of smoking (equal to smoking a pack a day for 30 years, or 2 packs a day for 15 years) who had quit in the 15 years prior to the study. The study found that people who got LDCT had a 20% lower chance of dying from lung cancer than those who got chest x-rays. However, some other trials have not found a benefit from screening.
The screening in the NLST was done at large teaching hospitals with access to medical specialists and comprehensive follow-up care. Most were National Cancer Institute cancer centers.
None of the studies included people who never smoked. Although anyone can develop lung cancer, there is not enough evidence to know whether screening people who have never smoked would be helpful or harmful. Likewise, it is not known if screening would help people who smoked less than those in the studies, or those of different ages. That’s why the American Cancer Society guideline doesn’t recommend screening for these groups.
There are risks associated with low-dose CT scanning, and the possibility of doing more harm than good for people who are less likely to have lung cancer. Because of this, the American Cancer Society recommends people who are at higher risk for lung cancer talk to their doctor who can help them make an informed decision about whether to get screened. If people do decide to get screened, they should get screened every year through age 74, as long as they are still healthy.
A possible drawback of this test is that it also sometimes finds abnormalities that turn out not to be cancer, but that might still need to be checked out with further tests. For example, some people might need additional tests such as other CT scans, or even more invasive tests such as needle biopsies or surgery to remove a piece of lung. These added tests might rarely lead to serious complications, even in people who do not have lung cancer (or who only have very early stage cancer).
LDCTs also expose people to a small amount of radiation with each test. It is less than the dose of radiation from a standard CT, but it is more than the dose from a chest x-ray. Some people who are screened may end up needing further CT scans, which means more radiation exposure. When done in tens of thousands of people, this radiation may cause a few people to develop breast, lung, or thyroid cancers later on.
The American Cancer Society recommends yearly lung cancer screening with LDCT scans for people who are 55 to 74 years old, are in fairly good health, and who also meet the following conditions:
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) decided low-dose CT will be reimbursed once a year for Medicare patients who are eligible for lung cancer screening. People must be 55 to 77 years old, not have signs or symptoms of lung cancer, have at least a 30 pack-year history of smoking, and currently smoke or have quit within the past 15 years.
Because lung screening is recommended by the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), private insurers have also begun covering the tests. However, the criteria for screening eligibility are slightly different. For example, USPSTF guidelines call for screening up to age 80. If you decide lung cancer screening is right for you, check with your insurance company to see if it's covered.
Screening is not a substitute for quitting smoking. The most effective way to lower lung cancer risk is to stay away from tobacco.
Although it is not common, lung cancer sometimes causes symptoms in the early stages. Most of the symptoms are more likely to be caused by something that isn’t lung cancer. But it’s important to go to the doctor so the cause can be found and treated. And if it does turn out to be lung cancer, it might be diagnosed at an earlier stage, when treatment is more likely to be effective.
The most common symptoms of lung cancer are:

Home is where we unwind and head to the kitchen at the end of the day. It is true that fragrances have a profound effect on our feelings of well-being. Studies have shown that some fragrances are energizing, like cinnamon, and some aromas, like fresh baked cookies, are comforting. It is also true that too much technology can make us edgy and stressed. It feels like taking time out once in a while makes us feel guilty that we’re not keeping up. Too much noise! What’s the solution?
“Turn off the TV, throw away the paper, Go to the country, build you a home, …” good advice from one of our great poets and musicians, John Prine. If we can set the alarm to get to work on time, we can schedule a part of the day to relax – right? Right! Lighting a candle in your home accomplishes two things – fragrance to soothe the rough edges and a gentle glow to soothe the soul.
Let’s talk about this.
Dinner out can range from fast food to a candlelit room in a ritzy restaurant. So why have we come to expect that a nice restaurant will have candles on the tables? That’s easy – they want us to linger and relax, enjoy the meal and, as we sit across from each other, we talk! So, how about recreating that same ambience at home? Where has all the conversation gone? OK – admit it, you watch TV while cooking, while eating dinner, while cleaning up the kitchen. How about a change of pace – talking and listening is a pretty good way to get to know each other. How was your day? Instead of just “OK” let’s get to the heart of the matter. Those heart to heart talks are so few and far between we forget how important they are. A good way to start might be to light a candle to set the stage for a quiet evening. Dinner can be a bowl of soup and crackers - but – illuminated by candlelight – well, that’s a horse of a different color.
Focus and Simplify.
Too much talk? Understood. The very act of lighting candles has meaning and symbolism all its own. The simple answer is often that glowing candles have the ability to help us focus – to quiet all of that inner chatter – to remember a loved one or to celebrate a birthday. It has a lot to do with being aware of the moment; to focus and to take an inner measure of our life.
There’s another reason a glowing candle seems to have a certain affect – we’re all humans and lighting our way in the world started a long time ago. It is believed that the Egyptians used candles 3,000 BC, the Romans made wicked candles around 500 BC and candles were also made in China and India. Candles were used to light homes, offer a sign of welcome to travelers and certainly for religious ceremonies. Candlelight makes us feel connected somehow to each other – now and long ago.
With so many choices in candle designs, materials, fragrance or no fragrance, focus on the right candle for the right reasons. Candles are the core of décor so take the time to look for quality by checking out where your candles were made – honestly, made in the USA is a good indicator of well-made candles. Check out the burn times to make sure they will last as long as your party or ceremony. Candle making these days is part science and part artistry. “Candlelight doesn’t just happen, it’s made to happen.” Of course you know you should never burn a candle unattended.

Over the last 5 years, I had the opportunity to speak at many events and also listen to other incredible speakers. Through the experience, I often found myself adjusting my presentation style to ensure that I am providing the most value to every audience.
The first big event that I ever spoke at was at a conference that was filled with post secondary students. My topic was about personal development and I have to admit: I was extremely nervous! I was not sure if my ideas would sit well with the audience and if my communication style was a good fit for public speaking.
Instead of simply dwelling on ideas, I decided to share my own experience and explain how personal development has opened many doors for me.
After the presentation, I was very pleased to see many audience members line up to privately speak with me. The most memorable moment was when one of the students told me that that they wish they met me 3 years ago because this talk was exactly what they needed to hear. This was a conversation that I will never forget.
I wanted to share 5 tips that will help you create the same impact in your next presentation:
1 – Know Your Audience
It is important to know who you are speaking to and what they are hoping to gain from the event. Before speaking at any event, I like to reach out to the event planner and ask questions about the attendees.
If you are speaking at a digital marketing conference: you may want to speak about different website strategies to generate leads. However, this topic may not go over well if you are speaking to room full of post secondary professors that are hoping to learn about creative ways to engage their students. You never want to be the speaker that shows up to an event with the wrong topic!
2 – Share Personal Stories
People may not always remember facts and statistics, but they will always remember your story. Sharing your own experience allows you to create a personal connection with the audience that may not have been possible through a well-designed PowerPoint presentation. If you do this successfully, you will often be surprised by how many people remember your stories many years later.
Last week, I attended Sheridan College’s incredible Virox Future Forum event and had another opportunity to hear Darrell Keezer deliver a keynote presentation. Rather than just speaking about how social media can help you, he shared a story about how his kids successfully operated a lemonade stand by personally inviting friends and family through Facebook. With this, along with many other stories, he was able to create a visual that engaged everyone in the audience. The feedback he received was outstanding!
3 – Edutain! Edutain! Edutain!
One of my favourite made-up words ever! Edutain is a combination of educating and entertaining your audience. Having a mix of both ingredients will allow you to hold attention and share ideas that resonate with your audience. Your presentation should take the room on a journey that consists of laughter and ah-ha moments.
The worst feedback a speaker wants to hear is that they were boring. Jazz up your segment with some fun and thought provoking ideas. Your audience will thank you for it!
4 – Stay In Touch
Your interaction with the audience should not end after wrapping up the event. Stick around and get to know the crowd. This is your turn to become a good listener and get know their personal stories. You will often find that people will come up and let you know how much your talk benefited them.
Using the ‘I had no time’ excuse is not acceptable. With all the social tools you have now, it is easier than ever to reconnect with your audience members using Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and other social media tools. I usually write my @cmahfuz twitter handle on the board or slideshow to invite everyone to connect with me after the presentation. Build a relationship with your audience and learn from them.
5 – Continue Improving
If you rocked at your last event – congratulations! However, don’t let that stop you from looking for ways to improve and hit the next event out of the ball park. When your last few presentations go well, it is easy to take your foot off the gas and stick with old habits. Replay the last event in your head and listen to the feedback that was provided to you. This will help you make note of the ideas and stories that worked well with the audience and the ones that you can do without.
During many events, I would bring an audio recorder or ask a friend to film my presentation. This would make it easy for me to review my performance and look at opportunities for improvement.
The goal is to make your next talk your best talk! | <urn:uuid:853d1a80-5444-49a9-affc-24f234ba7f74> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.candyboxmarketing.com/blog/how-to-become-a-memorable-public-speaker/ | 2023-09-27T10:56:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.975445 | 952 |
The Olympics have been taking place for just over a week now, and people from all over the world have been watching the different sporting events with excitement. Our team has been cheering on Canada both at home and at work, and it got us thinking. If we were at the Olympics, which sport would we want to compete in… Here are our top picks!
Admittedly, sports was never my forte. However, I was always a big fan of soccer and had some pretty epic moments on the field. It would definitely be my go-to Olympic sport.
As far as I can remember, soccer was a sport that brought our family together. I remember us sitting around the living room, with my dad and brothers, and cheering on the underdogs. This always got me excited to put on my soccer cleats and spend hours in the field working on my craft.
Even today, it is incredible to see how hard players like Naymar, Messi, and Ronaldo works to represent their country. It motivates me to call up friends and get a friendly game started in our local soccer field.
I can claim that my corner kick passes are as good as David Beckham, but only when I find myself playing in kid-size soccer fields.
That could still be a future Olympic sport… right?
I have always been a fan of the Olympics. Synchronized diving, gymnastics, trampoline, swimming, and rowing are a few of my all-time favourite events, making the summer Olympics very exciting!
If I had to choose one sport to compete in, I would have to go with swimming. The backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly have always fascinated me because the swimmers are so powerful. They are able to launch themselves completely and fully into a race that could be from 200 metres to 1500 metres long! Each swimmer also has a unique style of swimming which makes every race fun to watch.
Even though I love swimming and the health benefits that come with it, I think I will leave the racing to the professionals. In the meantime, I will continue to cheer for team Canada. Go Canada Go!!
If I had to pick one sport in the Olympics to go for gold in it would be playing for the Team Canada softball team. Unfortunately, they are in and out of the Olympics, so I would rather a sport that is consistently in the Olympics.
So my second choice is gymnastics. For the simple reason that I am always in awe of how powerful and strong those girls are. Although I have zero flexibility or balancing abilities and may be the most clumsy person, I would overcome everything and go for gold!
I am not sporty in the very least. I am so not sporty, I had doctors notes to get me out of Gym Class. I have asthma and I will play that card HARD if it means I don’t have to participate in athletics (#ItAintEasyBeingWheezy). | <urn:uuid:10e6c459-9705-4292-a21f-9e67f1f18600> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.candyboxmarketing.com/blog/if-we-were-at-the-olympics/ | 2023-09-27T11:23:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.984025 | 617 |

Phillies split doubleheader with National League-leading Braves
Mon, Sep 11, 2023
MLB News (AP)
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Brandon Marsh homered, Jake Cave hit an RBI triple and the Philadelphia Phillies spoiled Matt Olson's 50th homer and salvaged a doubleheader split with a 7-5 win over the Atlanta Braves on Monday night.

Olson hit a three-run homer off the second deck in the third and added a solo shot for his MLB-best 50th in the sixth, both off Phillies starter Michael Lorenzen (9-9). Lorenzen gave up four runs in five innings. Craig Kimbrel worked the ninth for his 23rd save.
Right-hander Kyle Wright (0-2) made his first start since May 3 after being on the 60-day injured list with a strained right shoulder. He faced eight batters and allowed four runs in the first inning, with Edmundo Sosa doing the most damage on a two-RBI double off the left-field wall.
Kevin Pillar and Orlando Arcia each had run-scoring hits in the 10th off Jose Alvarado (0-2) in the first game. The Braves needed extras after Bryce Harper tied the game with a two-out, two-run homer in the ninth.
The Phillies came up empty in the 10th against Kirby Yates, who earned his fourth save.

Texas (79-64) closed within a half-game of Toronto (80-64) in the wild-card standings. The Blue Jays entered one game ahead of Seattle for the second American League wild card.
Dane Dunning (10-6) allowed three runs and six hits in six-plus innings, becoming the first Rangers starting pitcher to win since Jordan Montgomery beat the Angels on Aug. 15.
Chris Stratton, Martin Perez and Ian Kennedy all worked one inning of relief.
Blue Jays right-hander Chris Bassitt (14-8) allowed five runs and nine hits in 5 1/3 innings. He walked three and struck out three.
BREWERS 12, MARLINS 0
MILWAUKEE (AP) - Brandon Woodruff pitched a six-hitter and Willy Adames had four RBIs, helping Milwaukee blank the Marlins.
Adames delivered a triple and two doubles. Tyrone Taylor went 3 for 5 with two runs and two RBIs.
Woodruff (5-1) struck out seven and threw 106 pitches in his first nine-inning complete game.
Jesus Luzardo (9-9) lasted just five innings and was charged with six runs and 10 hits.
The Brewers added five runs - four earned - off Daniel Castano in the seventh. Miami fell so far behind that catcher Jacob Stallings pitched the eighth for the Marlins. Joey Wiemer hit an RBI double off him.
NATIONALS 6, PIRATES 2
PITTSBURGH (AP) - CJ Abrams homered twice, Patrick Corbin pitched into the seventh inning and Washington beat Pittsburgh.
Abrams hit a two-run shot to right-center against Andre Jackson (1-3) in the third inning. He drove a fastball from Cody Bolton over the 21-foot-high Clemente Wall in right in the seventh for his first career multihomer game.
Corbin allowed two runs and five hits in 6 2/3 innings to reach 10 wins for the first time since 2019. The 34-year-old Corbin (10-13) struck out eight and walked one.
Dominic Smith had two hits, including his eighth homer of the season. Keibert Ruiz and Ildemaro Vargas added two hits apiece for the Nationals, who won for just the third time in 11 games.
Bryan Reynolds had an RBI single for Pittsburgh, which lost for the third time in four games. Ji Hwan Bae added an RBI double. Jared Triolo had a hit and made a couple of solid plays defensively in his first major league start at first base.

Today, sophomore safety Pat Amara Jr announced he would be transferring.
Some of you may remember when ESPN did a pretty fantastic article on Amara about his journey of getting to Pitt. He was homeless, and took a bus to a Pitt camp to earn a scholarship offer which he obviously did.
Amara played in every game except for two this season, totaling 14 tackles on the year along with one pass defended. He mostly played backup to true freshman Jordan Whitehead after having a fairly productive freshman season last year. Pat Narduzzi cited playing time as the likely primary reason Amara would be leaving.
Narduzzi on Amara: "I think he sees No. 9 playing in front of him and the honors he’s gotten, knows he’s just going to keep getting better."— Sam Werner (@SWernerPG) December 11, 2015
Considering Jordan Whitehead was a Freshman All-American this year, you can understand Amara's predictment. Pitt needs young and quality depth, and Amara definitely fit that in my opinion. We wish Pat the very best wherever he decides to go. | <urn:uuid:76b1c50c-51cc-47bb-8c3e-ffd350265298> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.cardiachill.com/2015/12/11/9892830/sophomore-safety-pat-amara-jr-will-transfer-from-pitt-narduzzi-whitehead | 2023-09-27T12:06:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.983996 | 233 |

Canada’s CRS Score sounds confusing to most intending immigrants. If you have considered immigrating to Canada, you’ve undoubtedly heard or read about the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) and Canada Express Entry CRS cut-off scores. The immigration application process may be complicated, and understanding how to optimize your chances is essential if you want to be successful at your first attempt.
Canada’s CRS Score: FAQs
We have answered the top eight commonly asked questions regarding the Comprehensive Ranking System to demonstrate how simple it may be to optimize your CRS score for the next Express Entry draw.
Question 1: What is Canada’s Comprehensive Ranking System?
Answer: The Comprehensive Ranking System is used in Canada to rates your Express Entry profile. It aids Immigration, Refugees, Citizenship Canada (IRCC) in determining if you are eligible to seek for permanent residency as a highly to semi-skilled worker. It also assists the IRCC in selecting particular individuals who will be able to transition to a new life and live happily in Canada.
Question 2: How does the Comprehensive Ranking System work?
Answer: Since 2015, Canada’s Express Entry system has become the number one go-to immigration solution. It is responsible for three immigration programs: the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), the Federal Skilled Trade Program (FSTP), and the Canadian Experience Class (CEC). When you create an Express Entry Profile, you will be ranked using the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). Your score will then be totaled, and you will be assigned a CRS score out of a possible 1,200.
Your profile will now be included into a draw pool with the profiles of other candidates. The IRCC will announce the cut-off score based on the average of all CRS scores in that particular draw. This shows who will and will not get an Invitation to Apply for Permanent Residency. If your CRS score is equal to or greater than the CRS cut-off level, the IRCC will issue you an invitation to apply for Canadian Permanent Residency (PR).
Question 3: Is there a CRS Score calculator?
Answer: Yes. It will provide you with an estimate. The IRCC offers a CRS tool that will assist you in determining whether you are eligible for Canada’s Express Entry System. It is better to have an RCIC or immigration lawyer do an evaluation for an accurate CRS score.
Question 4: What is the minimum CRS Score?
Answer: Because the CRS cut-off score varies from draw to draw, there is no defined minimum CRS score. There are averages to strive for for specific program draws, but it’s best to keep working on raising your CRS score wherever you can while your profile is still in the draw.
Question 5: Can I improve my CRS score?
Answer: Yes you can. There are several options, such as strengthening your language exam scores, obtaining additional job experience, applying with a spouse, and so on.
Ways on Improving Canada’s CRS Score
The first and most straightforward approach to increase your CRS score is to retake your language exam. You may accomplish this in two ways: retake your first test or learn a second language. You may gain up to 22 additional points by retaking your test.
Gaining additional job experience is the next technique to earn more CRS points. Although job experience is not required to be qualified for Canada’s Express Entry system, it can help you acquire the coveted ITA for PR in Canada. It is suggested that you have at least three to five years of experience in your field.
Another option is to apply with your spouse or partner, which allows you to claim more points. This is because Canada wants to keep families together and so makes it simpler for couples or families to come to Canada together by providing them with the opportunity to gain extra points.
Question 6: What is a good CRS score?
Answer: Based on previous draws, 383 is a good CRS score to aim for as a Canadian Experience Class (CEC) candidate, and 739 is a good CRS number to aim for as a Provincial Nominee Program applicant. At the present, the Federal Skilled Worker and Trades Programs are still taking applications. Although individuals with Provincial Nominations and Canadian work experience are given priority.
Question 7: What is the best way to boost my CRS score?
Answer: Get a Provincial Nomination. It has a CRS point value of 600. Obtaining Provincial Nomination, is a proven approach to improve your CRS score. To get a Provincial Nomination, you must either express interest directly to your selected province or territory or create an Express Entry profile. You are almost certain to receive an ITA, because your Provincial Nomination will earn you 600 more CRS points.
Question 8: Is the CRS scoring couples differently than solo applicants?
Answer: Yes. Couples may receive less basic CRS points than a solo candidate, but they may receive more points from their spouse. For example, if you are 30 years old, you can claim 95 CRS points if you apply with your husband or partner. But, if you apply on your own, you would receive 105 CRS points. However, if you apply as a pair, you will be able to receive extra points based on your spouse or partner’s degree, language abilities, and Canadian experience. In fact, you might earn up to 40 more points! So, while applying with a loved one may cost you 10 points, it is really preferable to apply jointly since you may get four times as many points.

Like most states, Oklahoma has laws that restrict cell phone use while driving in an effort to reduce distracted driving accidents. Oklahoma is also like most states in that many drivers either don’t know the applicable distracted driving laws or choose to ignore them.
Nationally, distracted driving is believed to be a factor in about 10 percent of all fatal motor vehicle accidents and nearly 20 percent of all crashes that result in injury. According to the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety, 11 fatal crashes and 662 injury-causing crashes involved a driver distracted by an electronic device in 2016.
Oklahoma’s Texting Ban
In 2015, Oklahoma became the 46th state to ban texting while driving. The Oklahoma law prohibits texting and some other forms of electronic communication—such as taking photos or video and posting to social media—while operating a motor vehicle.
Texting behind the wheel is now a primary offense in Oklahoma, which means law enforcement can pull over and cite drivers they witness texting even if the drivers have not committed other traffic violations. The first offense results in a $100 fine.
The law prohibits all drivers from texting, but it also bars drivers with permits or graduated licenses from handheld phone use behind the wheel. Adult drivers are still able to use their phones to make calls with or without hands-free equipment.
Distracted driving isn’t a new problem, but the dangers have grown exponentially as smartphones become more widespread and tech-obsessed teens take the wheel. Cell-phone use and texting are the leading causes of driver distraction.
Oklahoma Distracted Driving Statistics
When it comes to assessing the extent of distracted driving, Oklahoma’s data collection protocols are somewhat limited. Currently, law enforcement is only able to distinguish certain types of information such as the use of a cell phone versus the use of a navigation device versus a distraction other than an electronic device.
But here’s what we do know about Oklahoma’s distracted drivers:
- Crashes involving a driver distracted by an electronic device or other distraction are highest among drivers ages 16 to 25, followed by 26- to 35-year-olds
- Crashes involving distraction by an electronic device occur most often between the hours of 4 p.m. and 8 p.m.
- Fridays have the highest incident rate for accidents related to distracted driving
Despite the new law, in 2016 fatalities and injuries related to distracted driving accidents increased.
Distracted Driving: The Big Picture
Distracted driving is a risk on par with drinking and driving. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), people who use a cell phone (either handheld or hands-free) behind the wheel experience the same impairments to response time as drivers with a blood-alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08 percent (the legal threshold for drunk driving).
A driver who uses a cell phone behind the wheel is four times more likely to crash than a driver focused on the task at hand. And drivers ages 16 to 24 are most likely to use a handheld device while driving.
In 2015, nearly 3,500 Americans were killed and approximately 400,000 were injured in motor vehicle crashes involving distracted driving. While cell-phone use in general and texting in particular receive the most attention, distracted driving comes in many forms.
Other common driver distractions include:
- Tuning the radio
- Adjusting navigation controls
- Dealing with children or pets in the backseat

Covid-19: Limited Masks Available At Phelan’s Carrigaline

Carrot cake is a dessert that is both delicious and nutritious. However, with any sort of familiarity comes boredom.
Thus, this article will present several tips for you to prepare and consume your carrot cake in quite unique ways that you will no doubt enjoy.
Carrot Cake Cookies
First is carrot cake cookies. In order to prepare it, first, preheat your oven to 375 degrees. At the same time, prepare several cookie sheets by greasing them.
Put flour, baking powder, salt, and some light cinnamon in a bowl and begin whisking them. Afterwards, you may leave it be for a while.
The cookie dough is done by mixing butter, sugar, and an egg. After mixing it, take the initial bowl you whisked and put it in there. At this time, you can also add some pineapples walnuts and chopped carrots.
Place these into the cookie sheets. Bake it for at least 10 minutes or when the edges reach a golden color.
Finally, make the frosting by adding cream cheese and butter into an electric mixer and mixing it.
Make a cookie sandwich by placing this frosting in between two cookies.
Carrot Cake Smoothie
Next up, we have a smoothie. If you are tired of eating the carrot cake, why not drink it?
For this recipe, you will start with some carrots and mangoes. You will need a blender for yourself in order to make it nice and smooth. Place the carrots and mangoes into your blender, but do not blend it all the way.
Once it is divided into small chunks, stop it. This is the time when you can add other ingredients for your smoothie.
These include things such as soy milk peaches, ginger, and some cinnamon for that added zest.
Now, start blending the mixture again. This time, continue until it is blended fine enough for your smoothie.
Whatever recipe you decide, we hope that you enjoy your carrot cake in the ways that you want to. Check out other great carrot desserts you can prepare as well. | <urn:uuid:24f8ba27-f966-4ae6-a5b1-d425395bd658> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.carrotrecipes.net/carrot-mousse.html | 2023-09-27T11:49:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.954807 | 426 |

The Jeep Compass became one of the most anticipated cars in Indian market before its launch. The surprise price tag on the Compass attracted a lot of customers. According to the sales data, Jeep sold 935 dispatched of the vehicles in July, and the deliveries have started across India. Here is a video that became viral on social media that shows smoke coming out of the Compass’ engine.
The case of the Jeep Compass with the smoking engine bay – initial info
The video shows the open hood of the Compass and smoke coming out of it. The video describes as “Engine smoke form Jeep Compass just after delivery.” The post also claims that driver was driving in second and third gear for almost 160 km which caused the clutch to burn and engine to overheat.
The video surfaced is from Kerala, and the Compass is the manual variant. The number plate sticker on the Compass confirms that the vehicle is indeed brand new and has been bought from Hyson FCA. The video has been circulated in various social media platforms and has become viral too.
Smoke coming out from a brand new vehicle is sure a cause of worry, but we have got hold of a video that shows the owner talking about the incident.
The Compass owner explains
In a later video, the owner explains what happened. The owner is speaking in the local language – Malayalam, so our translation is below.
The owner says that they were stuck in a heavy traffic jam and he moved the vehicle for 100-200 meters with clutch partially engaged. The owner, who was also driving the car, does not remember which gear he was in at that time. He claims that a few passerby said that some smoke is coming out of the vehicle.When he stopped the vehicle, a crowd gathered around the vehicle and started looking for the source of the smoke.
The owner says the smoke may have been out of some burnt insulation near the clutch, but he is not too sure about it. Someone from the crowd poured water in the engine bay which caused a lot of steam to come out. What looks like smoke in the video is actually steam! The owner also claims that he is very satisfied with the vehicle and it is in perfectly fine condition.
So no, he did not drive 160 kms as was initially believed in the second or third gear. And neither was the Compass churning up smoke from the engine bay!
A new vehicle and a lot of untrained people around it can cause a lot of confusion as we just saw in this case. It is crucial to take the vehicle to trained professionals in such situations.
- Modern vehicles have different engine architecture and technology; it is safest to take the vehicle to the authorized service stations.
- If the car has broken down on the road, it is better to tow the vehicle to the nearest station instead of taking it to a roadside mechanic.
- Always use genuine parts for the vehicle, the fake parts are not built with quality and precision and can irreversibly damage the vehicle.

Nissan India is planning to launch the Evalia MPV during August 2012. The Evalia was showcased at the Delhi Auto Expo last month. The Evalia will take on the Toyota Innova and the Mahindra Xylo.
The Evalia has pretty tame looks with a short bonnet, conventional front doors and sliding rear doors. The angular front lamps and large glass area help break the monotony in an otherwise boxy design.
The side profile reveals its sliding doors, which would help for easy ingress and egress. The rear too has a practically designed, wide opening boot door. The tail lamps are set a tad low than usual. The boxy design will be handy when manoeuvring through narrow gaps in city traffic or parking in tight spaces.
The Evalia’s main USP is the passenger space—it is 4.4 metres long, 1.88 metres high and 1.69 metres wide and has rather long 2.73m wheelbase, which is 95mm more than Nissan’s X-trail SUV. Hence, it will seat 7 people comfortably.
The Evalia is likely to be powered by a 1.5 litre diesel engine with either 85 bhp of power or 108 bhp of power. The same engine already powers the Nissan Sunny sedan. Fuel efficiency may be in the range of 13 – 18 kmpl.
The Evalia is expected to be priced starting at Rs. 8 lakh. At present, the Mahindra Xylo is available in the price range of Rs. 7.35 lakh – 10.25 lakh while the Toyota Innova is priced in the range of Rs. 8.87 lakh – 13.17 lakh.
Nissan is currently producing diesel engines for the Micra and Sunny, partly with imported components and partly with locally procured components. The company is working on higher localisation of the diesel engine. Localization will help Nissan reduce its production costs and help the company price its cars competitively in the market.

Ice cream sandwiches and a dance party recently welcomed a group of sixth-graders at McDonough Middle School in Hartford, Connecticut. The group had been in school for 90% of April, and the event was a way to award and encourage more students to attend school regularly.
McDonough Middle School principal Marjorie Rice said she has seen results since they first started holding the events.
"Our efforts have shown in our data that we're improving our chronic absenteeism, reducing that rate, improving our average daily attendance, but most importantly, students who maybe were disengaged in the beginning were starting to see them coming to school every day," Rice told CBS News' Meg Oliver.
Since thebegan, chronic absences in U.S. schools have doubled. Before the pandemic, about 8 million students nationwide were chronically absent. It is now estimated that 16 million students are now considered to be chronically absent.
The U.S. Department of Education defines chronic absences as students who miss at least 15 days of school in a year. Trauma, family responsibilities, health, transportation problems, poverty, housing and food insecurity all contribute to chronic absences, according to the DOE.
"We are having anas a country," said Hedy Chang, founder and Executive Director of Attendance Works, an initiative aimed at addressing chronic absence.
Chang said schools need to make kids feel connected and engaged, offer tutoring and mentoring, expand summer learning and do at-home visits when kids aren't showing up.
"It starts with that outreach. We need to make sure that we're reaching out to students and families," said Chang.
Hartford Public Schools has tried implementing this by having student engagement specialists like Ashley Jackson visit the homes of students who are not showing up to class.
Eighth-grader Ashley Cuadra is one of the students Jackson has helped. During the pandemic, Cuadra's family moved, and she no longer qualified for school transportation. Jackson taught her how to take the public bus and rode the route with her.
Cuadra now returns the favor by reaching out to students who are often absent by stressing the importance of education.
"You need education to get further in life because when you get older, you're probably going to want to have your career. And you can't make a career out of no education because that education's gonna get you far in life," she said.

“A matter of CHOICE!” – A Jolt of Joan for the week of Dec 23, 2012
“Yes, it’s a matter of CHOICE!”
Yes, it’s true, it’s all a matter of choice. Viktor Frankl in his classic work “Man’s search for meaning” states “A human being is a deciding being.” This is true even when external circumstances threaten us. Frankl, who was imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp understood that “Everything can be taken away from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedom — to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” Today, we can choose to dwell in the inner place of peace that transcends understanding or we can stir up feelings of resentment even creating scenes in which we get even with those who have wronged us.

The statistics show that for the Rocky Mountain province, biosimilar savings are pouring into the health care system and allowing for significantly greater access.
The first of the Canadian provinces to implement a mandatory biosimilar switching policy, British Columbia (BC), has initiated a new phase of the program this month. Residents enrolled in the PharmaCare prescription coverage plan who are receiving the reference version of rituximab (Rituxan) will be switched to 1 of 3 biosimilar versions (Truxima, Riximyo, Ruxience).
On the cusp of the transition, officials in the BC public health system touted the success of their biosimilars switching program thus far, saying it had saved millions of dollars that were plowed back into other health initiatives that have improved access for many patients of the Pacific Coast district, which has roughly 5 million residents.
“We have seen great successes with our Biosimilars Initiative, with thousands of patients transitioning to safe and equally effective biosimilar drugs,” said Adrian Dix, minister of health.
Mandatory switching programs in Canada have not met with unanimous support, as many residents and patient advocates have expressed concerns about what switching may mean for the stability of their managed conditions. Health officials in Canada, however, say they remain confident in the medical science that supports biosimilars as equivalent in safety and efficacy to their reference products. The BC PharmaCare system does allow for exceptions to mandatory switching.
“We take great care here in British Columbia to examine the evidence thoroughly,” Dix said.
Phase by Phase
In the first phase of the program, which began in May 2019, patients were switched from etanercept, infliximab, and insulin glargine reference products to biosimilars. These switches occurred only for patients receiving treatment for ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, plaque psoriasis, and diabetes (type 1 and type 2).
In the second phase, which began in September 2019, patients with Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis were switched from reference infliximab to biosimilar versions.
The current switch to rituximab biosimilars, which constitutes the third phase, affects patients undergoing treatment for granulomatosis with polyangiitis, microscopic polyangiitis, relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis.
Dix said that biosimilars cost 25% to 50% less than biologics, which account for the largest slice of the health-spending pie, so the 15-month-old switch to biosimilars in BC is already paying off with huge savings. In 2018, BC spent $84.2 million on reference infliximab, so the incentive to switch to biosimilars was very strong.
“This work is allowing us to put another $30.7 million over the next 3 years, in addition to the $96.6 million from earlier phases of the Biosimilars Initiative, back into BC’s health care system,” Dix said.
On the whole, biosimilars have barely penetrated the health care system in Canada, where they have an 8% use rate. Dix noted that countries that are furthest ahead with biosimilars enjoy usage rates from 50% to 95%.
Switching by the Numbers
Nevertheless, in BC, the switching rates achieved through the Biosimilars Initiative are impressive. Among PharmaCare patients who were taking etanercept reference product, 85% have switched to Brenzys or Erelzi. For patients taking Remicade for nongastrointestinal and gastrointestinal issues, 84% and 78% have switched, respectively; and 71% of patients have been transitioned from Lantus to Basalgar for their diabetes conditions.
In the United States, by contrast, biosimilars account for just 2.3% of spending in the biologics marketplace, according to a recent presentation by Juliana Reed, MS, a vice president and Global Corporate Affairs lead for Pfizer; and biosimilar infliximab accounts for just 8.5% of the infliximab market, according to Wayne Winegarden of the Pacific Research Institute. Filgrastim biosimilar sales in the United States are highly advanced, relative to other biosimilar products. They amount to 50.4% of expenditures for infliximab.
The May 2019 phase 1 transition involved 20,700 British Columbians and allowed them 6 months to work with their health care advisors to transition from originator products. Phase 2 involved 2000 patients, who were given the same transition time. The current, rituximab changeover also involves a 6-month deadline—until February 2021—and roughly 1600 patients.
The savings have not only made care more affordable, but also broadened access to care in BC, Dix said. “The savings have allowed expanded coverage of treatments for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in adults, and treatments that mitigate the risk of heart attack or stroke.” | <urn:uuid:bc8e9742-b63d-4ff1-8c29-2124612d0ef7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.centerforbiosimilars.com/view/british-columbia-moves-into-third-phase-of-mandatory-switching | 2023-09-27T11:29:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.946508 | 1,057 |

Under an agreement between the Securities and Exchange Commission and the parent foundation of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC will have more authority over the appointment of members of the private board, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.
In a two-page memo sent to the SEC on March 9, FASB’s parent unit, the Financial Accounting Foundation, agreed with the commission that the FAF and FASB should generally notify the SEC 45 days before but no less than 30 days before the FAF nominates foundation or FASB members, according to the newspaper. The foundation also reportedly agreed to follow a set schedule for telling the SEC about potential appointments and reappointments to FASB and to the FAF board.
FAF also signed off on giving the SEC the chance to nominate its own candidates and to notify the SEC of finalists for any position, according to the Journal story. The agreement will also allow commissioners to interview nominees, the newspaper reported, citing a copy of the memo provided to it by FAF.
FAF still has the final say on appointments and reappointments, according to the memo signed by Robert E. Denham, the foundation’s chairman and a leading securities lawyer with Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP.
The agreement nails down a 2003 policy statement by the commission. Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, FASB and its parent, the Financial Accounting Foundation, must give the commission “timely notice of, and discuss with the Commission” FAF’s intent to name a new FASB or FAF member, the SEC said then.
In its April, 2003, policy statement, the SEC said that the “FAF and FASB should give the Commission timely notice of, and discuss with the Commission, the FAF’s intention to appoint a new member of the FAF or FASB.” Further, the SEC said that it “should provide the FAF with our views and that the FAF should consider those views in making its final selection.”
The commission’s policy statement also has a paragraph recognizing “the importance of the FASB’s independence.” In its role “as the preeminent accounting standard setter in the private sector” the board “must use independent judgment in setting standards and should not be constrained in its exploration and discussion of issues. This is necessary to ensure that the standards developed are free from bias and have the maximum credibility in the business and investing communities,” the commission said then. | <urn:uuid:ccae79d2-49ed-42c9-8558-f965ee9c502b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.cfo.com/news/report-sec-grabs-more-power-over-fasb/675076/ | 2023-09-27T12:48:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.953013 | 534 |
Indian Classical Music was not always like we know and understand today, having evolved continuously over a period of 1500 - 2000 years. Despite the long evolution, it has retained its fundamental identity and principles. In an earlier post, we talked about how the intertwined evolution of Lakshya (presentation) and Lakshana (grammar) have lent Indian Classical Music its distinctive identity. Now let us take a closer look at Lakshanas.
Like with any language, even for music, a grammatical framework is essential for effective communication and consistent understanding. In Indian Classical music, treatises on musical grammar and rules are called Lakshanagranthas (books of grammar), which have evolved and developed over many centuries. Lakshanagranthas deal primarily with Lakshanas, although they do talk about Lakshya as well.
Figure 1. A Timeline of Indian Classical Music
If one were to divide the evolution of Indian classical music into different eras, I would say that the introduction of the concept of Adhara Shadaj (fixed fundamental tonic) is a major dividing phase. As part of this major change, Indian music evolved and certain aspects of Lakshya and Lakshana were modified. Some new forms came into place while other forms became obsolete. But many concepts and terminologies were carried over with a different interpretation.
To better understand the difference Adhara Shadaj brought in Indian Classical Music, first, let us look at the concepts of Gram, Murcchana and Jati.
Early on in the evolution of Indian Classical Music (maybe, even as early as 3rd-4th century CE), musicians and scholars studying and experimenting in music recognised three very important ratios: Pancham Bhav or the perfect fifth, Madhyam Bhav or the perfect fourth and Gandhar Bhav or the major third which is also known as Antara Gandhar.
Sample 1. An Illustration of Shadaj-Pancham Bhav
Sample 2. An Illustration of Shadaj-Madhyam Bhav
Sample 3. An Illustration of Shadaj-Gandhar Bhav
These ratios formed the basis for division of an octave into notes. With all three ratios recognised, an octave was divided into 22 intervals or subdivisions called Srutis. The method of dividing an octave into 22 Srutis is described by Bharat in his Lakshanagrantha on performing arts, Natya Shastra, and also by Sarang Dev who described it in his Lakshanagrantha on music, Sangeet Ratnakar.
Now, the term Gram literally means a village - formed by a collection of people from the same community or ethnicity. Applying the same principles, three musical Grams were created and recognised: Shadaj Gram, Madhyam Gram and Gandhar Gram which respectively emphasized the Pancham Bhav, Madhyam Bhav and Gandhar Bhav. Just like a real life Gram had people similar to one another, the notes of a musical Gram were supposed to be related and to be in consonance with one other.
The term Murchhana comes from the word Murchh which literally means “to increase”. So an increasing or ascending collection of seven successive notes is defined as a Murchhana. Note that the consonance of notes in a Murchhana is assumed, and it is always derived from a Gram. You could start with any note in a Gram and pick seven successive ascending notes and form a Murchhana. These Murchhanas formed the basis for Jatis and modern day Ragas.
Let us understand this with an example using present day notation for ease of explanation. Let us denote the 12 musical notes in an octave as follows:
Sa re Re ga Ga ma Ma Pa dha Dha ni Ni Sa’
where notes beginning with a lower case denote Komal or flat notes, notes beginning with an upper case denote Tivra or sharp notes and Sa’ denotes the octave of Sa. You can listen to a sample of these 12 notes as per the tuning system of Ramamatya and Venkatamakhin (equivalent to Pythagorean Tuning). We will cover Indian tuning systems of 12 and 22 notes per octave in a future post.
Sample 4. Twelve Note Scale in the tuning system of Ramamatya and Venkatamakhin
Let us take a well known scale today, which is known as Raga Shanakarabharanam or Bilawal or the major scale. Its notes are:
Sa Re Ga ma Pa Dha Ni Sa’
Sample 5. Shankarabharanam scale
Now, let us perform a scale change by starting from ma and go up to its octave.
ma Pa Dha Ni Sa’ Re’ Ga’ ma’
Sample 6. Shankarabharanam scale from ma to ma'
Now let us rewrite this scale by transposing ma to Sa while maintaining the intervals between the notes. The transposed scale would be:
Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni Sa’
which is nothing but Raga Kalyani or Yaman.
Sample 7. Yaman scale
Hear Sample 6 and Sample 7 a few times, and try to match the scales. This shifting of scale to derive another scale is also known as Graha Bheda.
So what do we learn about Jatis and Ragas from this example?
Well, in the era prior to Adhara Shadaj when the concept of a fixed fundamental Sa did not exist, new scales were formed by performing scale changes and defining new Murchhanas. From a Murchhana, a Jati was defined as a melodic framework formed by selecting 5 to 7 notes, and defining Lakshanas and Lakshyas governing the rendition of the Jati. Jatis could be Sampoorna (using all 7 notes of the Murchhana), Shadav (hexatonic) or Audava (pentatonic).
With the acceptance of Adhara Shadaj, the Jatis were denoted by transposing their starting note back to Sa and they became what we today call as Ragas.
Taking the above example, in today’s music, both Shankarabharanam and Kalyani would be performed to the same fundamental tonic or Adhara Shadaj, whereas earlier they would have been perfomed with a scale shift (Shankarabharanam from Sa and Kalyani from ma).
Now let us take a few examples of Lakshanas, and see what they mean and how they evolved across these period. For ease of understanding, let us group the Lakshanas into those pertaining to: (a) the importance of Swaras or individual notes; (b) the timing and usage of Swaras; and (c) musical phrases and scales.
Sample 8. Kharaharapriya scale in which Re and ga are vivadi as well as Dha and ni
Lakshanagranthas describe two successive notes which are less than two Srutis apart as Vivadi notes, specifically Re and ga as well as Dha and ni in the above scale. We will address various Sruti intervals in a separate post on Srutis and Tuning systems. In practice, in Raga Kharaharapriya, the vivad (conflict) is resolved by reducing Re and Dha by one Sruti (as a Lakshya), so that a larger interval is perceived between the Re-ga and Dha-ni pairs.
Swaras are also classified based upon their timing and frequency of usage.
Lakshanas also govern the formation of musical phrases and scales.
Sample 9. Sthayi phrases in Raga Shankarabharanam
Sample 10. Hamsadhwani scale which is a Janya of Shankarabharanam (refer to Sample 5)
Compare Sample 5 and Sample 10, and note your observations. Please note that it may be possible to derive the same Janya scale from another Melakarta. This is an aesthetic choice (Lakshya) based on how an artist wishes to present the Janya Raga.
To summarize, a Raga is a concept originating from Jati and can be defined as a musical scale, together with a set of Lakshanas and Lakshya which results in a consistent, recognisable musical framework. Within the reference of a Raga, an artist can attempt to improvise and develop the Raga through a musical performance.
Now for a given Raga, each of these Lakshanas mentioned above are clearly defined. Through a cycle of listening, learning, practicing and performing, a student can learn the Lakshana aspect of a given Raga as well. However, these only define the framework and by themselves do not make music. An artist has to apply Lakshya to their rendition and create a Raga presentation which can be described as Ranjayati (that which illuminates, gratifies and colours the mind). This is the most important characteristic in the presentation of a Raga. | <urn:uuid:6272dbac-b26f-47b8-9ce0-46a584e2608c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.chandraveena.com/blog/grammar-of-music/ | 2023-09-27T12:02:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.952802 | 1,896 |
Games have compelling narratives worthy of Hollywood movies — so it should come as no surprise that cinematic talent is swapping cameras for controllers. Joining Chris this week are two men who've made the leap and now work on EA's blockbuster Madden sports franchise.
Producer Robin Cowie went from Nickelodeon idents to box office phenomenon The Blair Witch Project, which taught him how to tell a first-person narrative on a tight budget. Animation director Tony Stanley cut his teeth on Disney classics The Lion King, Lilo and Stitch, and Mulan, the latter of which has just turned 20 — and had an enduring legacy in the Chinese animation industry.
The pair tell Chris how they created Madden NFL 18: Longshot and Madden NFL 19: Longshot Homecoming campaigns, which seamlessly mix dramatic player-driven branching stories with action from the gridiron. You’ll find out about the technology and techniques Robin and Tony use to create and edit in-game cinematics, how they fashion game design documents into scripts and why motion capture has become a vital part of the realism of modern games. | <urn:uuid:12232cc9-6cb4-405d-aa28-125b77fa1379> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.chaos.com/blog/robin-cowie-tony-stanley-ea?utm_source=Chaos+Group+Newsletter&utm_campaign=3bbf894782-CG_Newsletter_December_Holidays&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_1cf4a02153-3bbf894782-60796535&mc_cid=3bbf894782&mc_eid=a28d346c27 | 2023-09-27T11:43:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.94484 | 221 |
The San Diego Chargers made a trio of moves Monday morning, signing guard Vi Teofilo to a three-year contract while waiving guard Sebastian Johansson and waiving/injured linebacker Brock Hekking.
Teofilo impressed the Bolts at Rookie Mini Camp over the weekend as a non-contract participant. The 6-3, 315-pound lineman started 40 straight games at right guard for Arizona State, and was a two-time honorable mention All-Pac-12 selection. He also made a name for himself at the Sun Devils' Pro Day when he maxed out at 43 reps on the bench press, which would have been tops at this year's Scouting Combine.
The Swedish born Johannson initially joined the Chargers as an undrafted free agent out of Marshall this year, while Hekking spent all of 2015 on IR after suffering an injury during the preseason. | <urn:uuid:3a1091cf-59eb-46a2-b9e8-b6f945fac6aa> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.chargers.com/news/bolts-make-trio-of-roster-moves-131801 | 2023-09-27T10:58:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.963582 | 178 |

Here I was, calmly minding my own business when a good friend of mine (I won’t tell you his name, but his initials are Shane Smith) called me and said, “Bake, there’s a good friend of mine transferring from SWOSU in Weatherford to Central State in Edmond where you are. I told her you would watch over her and take care of her while she was there.” He told me her name, but I don’t think I remembered it…
A week or so later, on Wednesday, September 30, 1981 in the middle of the afternoon, I was at the Baptist Student Union (now known as Baptist Collegiate Ministries) when this knockdown beautiful blonde walked through the front door. I didn’t want her to feel alone, so of course I went over to meet her! (That’s just the way I am – always thinking of others before myself and trying to make others feel comfortable!) I discovered that this young co-ed was the person that Sha…. eh, my friend, told me to be on the lookout for!
I discovered that she was from Yukon, and as fate would have it, I was to work with the choir that evening at FBC Yukon as I was going in view of a call to be their Interim Minister of Music the following Sunday! As a good Southern Baptist, always seeking to invite the lost and wayward to Jesus (it had nothing to do that she was knockdown beautiful!), I invited her to join me for church that day. She let me know that she enjoyed her Sunday School class at Trinity, but said she would think about my invitation to join me for church after her class.
To be honest, I didn’t see her or think of her the rest of the week.
The following Sunday after worship, several folks came up and thanked me for being there and expressed hope that I would be their next worship leader, albeit as an interim. And then, there SHE was! She, too, expressed her enjoyment of the service and then asked me if I would like to join her and her family for lunch at her house. I looked around for any of the committee who might want to take me to lunch, but saw none and accepted her invitation!
The next week, we saw each other every evening at the BSU revival on campus.
The following Sunday, October 10th, I met with the committee from Yukon FBC and talked about our future together. My grandparents were celebrating their 50th anniversary in Wheatland, and I asked this beautiful blonde if she would like to go with me. She agreed and, following my meeting, off we went.
Leaving the celebration a little early, we went to my uncle’s house also in Wheatland where I was able to watch the Dallas Cowboy football game. During halftime, or maybe it was just during a commercial, I turned to this knockdown beautiful blonde and asked her to marry me. (WHAT?? Yeah, I did!) SHE … SAID … “YES!”
Just 10 days earlier, I learned that this knockdown beautiful blonde’s name was Jerri Lynn Casto. And now, a scant 10 days later, she agreed to let her name be changed to Jerri Lynn Baker! Last Sunday was the 40th anniversary of that day where she said YES!
When Jesus asked to come into my life at the age of six, He also asked to change my name. Not changing it on any documents or anything like that, but to change it in my heart and to forever be identified with Him.
Acts 11:26 - So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.
May all of us who bear the name of “Christian,” or “Little Christ” be identified as such because we look like Jesus!
And thank you, Sweetheart, for saying “Yes!” 40 years ago! I’m glad you were brain damaged at the time… Or at least not thinking straight! LOL!

They say that variety is the spice of life. Yet, when it comes to troubles, I’m not sure variety is such a good thing. When it comes to food, I tend to have a pretty simple palate, and too much spice can ruin an entire meal as far as I’m concerned. When it comes to life events, well, sometimes such variety brings a little too much spice! Has anyone else experienced emotional and spiritual heartburn when the circumstances of life get a bit overwhelming?
If so, I encourage you to be a part of our worship service this Sunday morning. We will be looking at James 1:1-4. As we follow Christ, the world might throw different things our way, but James gives us a word of advice, and that word is ‘joy’! God is still at work, and the child of God is still under His care. Even in a day such at this, God is at work!
On Sunday night, July 26th, we will be sharing in the Lord’s Supper at 6:00 pm. It will be a special service and I hope you can attend. This will be the first Lord’s Supper service we’ve shared in the sanctuary since the days of social distancing began. I believe it is going to be a wonderful night of worship for our church family.
And, if you can get online, don’t forget our weekly question and answer session this Wednesday at 6:00 pm. It’s called CHBC Live and I think you’ll enjoy the discussion.
These days are the Lord’s, my friend. If there might be any way we might be of service or of help in these times, please do not hesitate to let us know!
It’s a joy to be your pastor! | <urn:uuid:2679ce27-977b-4083-8131-1880152a1beb> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.chbcmustang.org/post/variety | 2023-09-27T12:42:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.943325 | 389 |

Flanked by community organizers and children running about, Chicago police Superintendent David Brown appealed to a sense of togetherness Friday as he spoke about the coming weekend and preventing violence on the streets.
“Chicago belongs to all of us, and that means all of us,” Brown said at Humboldt Park.
As the city braces for what may be another weekend of unrest, Brown stressed that the “Chicago Police Department is sworn to serve and protect everyone. That includes protecting our First Amendment right, our sacred right to protest. That also means protecting all of us from violence or harm. We can, and we will, do both.”
The summer has seen protests that sometimes have erupted into vandalism and looting. Criticism of the department has come both from protesters decrying its tactics and those who blame the department for not doing enough to deter vandalism.
On Friday, Brown listed several measures aimed at containing any violence in the coming days.
The department will continue to roll out Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s five-point plan, which includes social media monitoring and critical response teams that will be deployed downtown if looting occurs.
He said officers are also conducting exercises in the downtown area, in which officers reenact and prepare for a variety of possible emergencies.
“They have not only been practicing and drilling these types of tactics that will render us all safe when we want to peacefully protest, but also create the riot gear and legal training as well,” Brown said.
“Sequencing, timing, looking at where our weaknesses are, strengthening the structures in our downtown area that are subject to caravanning, that have strategic deployment so we can communicate well with each other across all city departments,” Brown said. “It’s an all-hands-on-deck approach.”
He said he wanted to “correct the record” that the department cares more about the downtown area than the neighborhoods. There are about 200 officers on the rapid response teams for downtown areas compared with around 500 officers in the community safety and summer mobile teams for the neighborhoods, he said.
“So we are caring and concerned about the neighborhoods and have committed the resources,” Brown said. “It’s not just talk, because talk is cheap.”
Protesters have accused police of “kettling,” forcing them together in tighter and tighter circles that critics say can heighten tensions and spark confrontations.
Brown has denied that, and on Friday said the department has created “arrest teams” to go into crowds and “arrest those agitators that are embedded in the crowd, so that we can all be safe when we exercise our First Amendment rights.”
Officers will be outfitted with helmets and shields to protect themselves. Brown said he is “hoping for peaceful protest but we’re preparing for if agitators come in and want to do something different.”
Friday’s news conference was held on the 1000 block of Monticello Avenue, just before a planned event for officers and community members to clean up weeds and debris in the neighborhood.
Patricia Carrillo, president of the 1000 and 1100 North Monticello Block Club, said the neighborhood can “eliminate all the problems that we have” by working together. While speaking, Carrillo was interrupted by her young nephew running up to the podium to laughter from the crowd.
“My family, my friends, we’re working hard … With the cleanups, with meetings, with everybody because (a better neighborhood) is our right,” Carrillo said. “We don’t want people that don’t live here … doing illegal activities.”
The Rev. Martin Coffer, a director of Breakthrough, an East Garfield Park nonprofit, said the cleanup is “an example of how a neighborhood can come together and really overcome fear.” | <urn:uuid:6cad15e9-1146-42b7-b1f2-c490f2f54163> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/breaking/ct-police-safety-plans-superintendent-brown-20200828-4wrzpja4brcbhmrnohuz7ubdti-story.html | 2023-09-27T11:13:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.966068 | 822 |

There may be many misunderstandings in the operation and debugging of domestic blow molding machines
. 1. Lack of cooperation between the main engine factory and the mold factory. The main engine factory and the mold factory must cooperate. This is the experience of developing injection-stretch-blow plastic molding machines abroad. The main engine factory puts forward the requirements, the mold factory develops it, and then hands it to the user for use. However, some of our main engine factories themselves do not know much about the molds of the "one-step" injection-stretch-blow plastic molding machine. In order to save development costs, they make their own molds. As a result, not only the products do not meet the quality standards, but also the main engine image had a negative impact.
2. The technical level of the mold does not meet the requirements. The mold of the injection stretch blow plastic molding machine is different from the injection molding mold and has its own characteristics. In the mold of injection stretch blow plastic molding machine, the key is the mold for injection parison. The material of the mold has special requirements for its performance, the coefficient of thermal expansion and contraction is small, the heat transfer efficiency is high, and the thermal conductivity is high. The structure of the mold is a hot runner. form. Judging from the current level of mold technology in China, it is still impossible to develop and manufacture molds for injection-stretch-blow plastic molding machines that meet quality standards. It is understood that some mold factories do not know which material is used for the mold of the injection-stretch-blow plastic molding machine. How can they develop a mold?
3. Lack of investment in the mold factory The lack of input in the mold factory prevents the development of the mold technology level. It is understood that foreign mold factories that develop and manufacture injection-stretch-blow plastic molding machines have their own injection-stretch-blow plastic molding machines. The developed molds must be repeatedly tested on the host until they meet the requirements. However, there is no domestic mold factory that has purchased injection-stretch-blow plastic molding machines as trial production equipment for the development of molds for injection-stretch-blow plastic molding machines.
Fourth, there are misunderstandings in the development ideas. When developing plastic molding machines, enterprises only focus on the development of the main engine and ignore the development of molds. The injection stretch blow molding machine is a combination of the main machine and the mold. From the importance of the main machine and the mold to the whole machine, the main machine only accounts for 40% of the whole machine, while the mold accounts for 60% of the whole machine. The successful development of the main engine does not mean the successful development of the whole machine. Only when the main engine and the mold are jointly developed can we say that the injection stretch blow molding machine has been successfully developed. In the process of developing injection-stretch-blow plastic molding machines, some of our plastic machinery factories did not correctly recognize the relationship between the host and the mold, and only paid attention to the development of the host, instead of putting the development of the mold in a more important position, failure The main reason is this | <urn:uuid:67502076-f185-429f-9f05-0e3ed7d049d7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.chinalebao.com/news/there-may-be-many-misunderstandings-in-the-operation-and-debugging-of-domestic-blow-molding-machines.html | 2023-09-27T12:03:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.929435 | 676 |

Who was Jesus? An out-of-the-box charismatic Mediterranean figure? A free-spirited cultural iconoclast? A wandering anti-religious prophet? A staunch defender of the underdog? Honestly, today we are presented with as many Jesuses as there are opinions. Right? It’s kind of like the old saying, “There are as many opinions as there are people.”
Back in seminary our professors warned us against psychologizing Jesus. Too often, said the profs, psychologies merely turn into projections of the very one trying to psychologize the Man from Nazareth. “He was a thrilling and exuberant extrovert,” claims the outgoing extrovert. “Jesus was a pensive introvert,” says the nervous introverted Gospel reader. “He exhibited traits of a middle child: peacemaking, bridge-building, and the building of close relationships with those outside of the family unit,” argues the over-looked middle child. Each “Jesus” is an affirmation of the one psychologizing him.
But the truth is? The notion of psychologically profiling someone’s personality was non-existent in the ancient world. Far better to assess someone’s character by what they did. Actions were more apparent than thoughts or motives. Someone’s identity shone through their deeds. Maybe that’s why James (2:17) wrote, “Faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead”?
Truth be told, Jesus transcends all neat and tidy descriptions. For instance, all of the following are biblically true about Jesus: He was an establishment-outsider Galilean from up north in Nazareth but He could speak Hebrew; He both deeply loved Judaism and was regularly critical of it; He was brilliant but had never had a formal education; in a way that embarrassed normal social convention He spoke in public with women, even lewd prostitutes; He could hold huge crowds spellbound but He also practiced regular prayerful solitude; He ate and slept like a normal man yet He spoke with an authority that many understood to ring of God Himself; and, He tenderly embraced social outcasts but could drive out money grubbers in the Temple. Across all of those two-fold tensions, Jesus exhibited an astonishing amount of determination.
Me? For several decades now – reading the Gospels and watching how Jesus moved through His ministry – I’ve been gripped by the tenacity of Jesus. Yes, I’ll admit my own psychology here: my recognition of His resolve stems from my own experience of Him. In my life Jesus has been tenacious. He doesn’t easily let me go. He continually convicts me of my sins. He constantly calls me to walk in His new life, to choose grace. He prods me toward abiding righteousness. Praise the Lord, He has been a fixed presence in my life.
But here I’m thinking more historically and textually than personally. The Jesus of the Gospels was fierce. Or, perhaps fierce is too strong. Better, He was fix-ed. He exhibited a continual resolve. Let me offer a few examples.
One day while He was speaking to the crowds, Jesus’ mother and brothers were on the edge of the crowd, trying to get near Him. Seeing them, a man said to Jesus, “Look, your mother and brothers are standing outside. They’d like to speak with you.” Jesus responded, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” And then motioning toward his disciples He added, “Here are my mother and my brothers! For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother” (Mt. 12:46-50). That’s an odd response, right? What does it reveal? That Jesus was more fixed on His mission – proclaiming the Kingdom of God – than He was on his family.
Another time He had His hand on a little child and proceeded to talk about how the Kingdom of God is open to those who are like children. But then He warned, “If any one of you put a stumbling block before one of these little ones who believe in me, it would be better for you if a great millstone were fastened around your neck and you were drowned in the depth of the sea,” (Mt. 18:1-7). Today? We would find such strong words off-putting. But clearly, again, we see something of Jesus’ resolve to warn of the razor-sharp nature of the Kingdom of God. Jesus never apologized for His harsh tone, never said, “Hey, I know what I said just there was hard to swallow, but really, I’m just saying it out of love.” No, He left his poignant words awkwardly hanging so they’d have full effect. He intended to jolt people. And that intent stemmed from His resolve. He knew what He was doing, knew who He was.
One more. After feeding the 5,000, Jesus questioned Peter, “Who do you say that I am?” Peter confessed, “You are the Messiah of God.” Immediately Jesus revealed to the disciples that He was constrained, He said, “to endure great suffering, rejection by the Jewish elders, and be killed and on the third day be raised” (Lk. 9:18-27). Near that chapter’s end Luke tells us, “Jesus set his face to go to Jerusalem” (9:51). We realize that Jesus knew full well He would be murdered in the holy city. Nevertheless, Jesus determined – setting His face – to make it to the city of David. Why? It was what God the Father had for Him. And we know that nothing could deter Jesus from obeying his Father. What amazing determination! Even in the face of suffering, such resolve! All made evident by His actions.
Here in Western culture where integrity is fleeting, I find Jesus’ own fix-ed nature mesmerizing. He did as He taught. He let His “yes be yes,” and His “no be no” (Mt. 5:37). He knew who He was and what God had for Him to do. Indeed, in significant ways, I am saved by the faith of Jesus Christ. He remained faithful, even when I am not. Yes, I do confess, I am projecting something of my own psychology to admit that I am enthralled by Jesus’ resolve.
And so I pray, “Lord, help me to remain fixed to You. Empower me to walk in the kind of resolve that You exhibited on every page of the Gospels.”

I can't whistle very well.....
So I can't whistle very well, I'll admit it but that still didn't stop me from singing the Guns N Roses classic "Patience"
In fact, I had such a great time singing this song with my long time mate Jeremy Shepphard (Jezza) and a few other songs at Logan Village Hotel.

Today’s ever-shifting IT environment requires a comprehensive security plan to remain compliant and successful—regardless of your industry. As an IT professional, the unique challenges your organization faces on a day-to-day basis may require file integrity monitoring software that not only mitigates risks but also monitors changes to critical data.
Here are five effective ways you can start monitoring your infrastructure with file integrity monitoring software:
1. Server Monitoring
File integrity monitoring software can protect against unauthorized changes to vital applications on servers (physical, virtual, or cloud-based), including operating system settings, system files, directories, data files, file attributes, and Windows® Registry settings. With so many different applications running on your servers that are critical to your success and daily operations, it’s important to keep them protected from threats: both from outside your business and internally.
Below are key functions file integrity monitoring software can offer to protect and monitor your organization’s servers:
- Change Details and Classification: File integrity monitoring software can keep track of not only what files have been altered within a server, but it can also help you identify what has been changed in that file.
- Reporting and Alerts: Since certain changes may have serious implications, IT directors or managers should be able to receive notice when changes occur. Additionally, reports can be generated based on changes to critical files, giving your IT staff a greater understanding of how users within the organization access and work with files.
- Restoring and Prevention of File Changes: Based on reports and your alerts, you can use actual data to make informed decisions on what files should have safeguards in place that prevent users from making changes and also enables you to restore files back to a baseline if they have been altered, either intentionally or unintentionally.
2. VMware ESX/ESXi Configuration Monitoring
VMware ESX/ESXi Configuration Monitoring protects against changes to host configurations that can lead to a compromise of a large number of “guest” virtual operating systems.
Below are key functions you can accomplish by using file integrity monitoring software in ESXi environments:
- Monitor access permissions, network settings, and third-party tools.
- Monitor the configurations of the VMware Hypervisor directly at the source.
- Detect host file modifications: Monitor for changes, whether malicious or accidental, that can severely damage your VM hypervisors and other business-critical systems.
- Monitor privilege escalations: Set alerts for malicious activity or changes to user privileges that would allow sensitive data to be accessed.
- Detect changes to vSwitch and other network settings: Changes to switch and network settings can allow unauthorized access to critical configurations, which can disrupt the integrity and availability of your VMware hypervisor.
- Track whether virtual machines are being added or deleted: This is especially helpful for an audit trail to satisfy compliance requirements.
3. Network Device Monitoring
With a growing number of attacks and attempted attacks on business’ networks, it’s increasingly important to have safeguards in place that will prevent an organization from falling victim to cybercriminals. For instance, here are some of the network components that CimTrak can monitor:
- Master Repository maintains a history of configuration changes and provides the ability to roll back to a previous state.
- The Update Baseline feature provides incremental backups for all configuration changes.
- Auditing capabilities document and track all configuration changes: If an attack were to occur, even if it wasn’t successful, this is an important piece for your team to understand what ultimately happened and how to prevent further issues.
4. Monitoring for Databases and Active Directory/LDAP
Protecting your directory services against changes ensures that your company won’t fall victim to alterations that may go undetected. When unauthorized changes occur to your critical database schemas, you want to be prepared as it can have the negative impact of having said critical data breached. Monitoring for Databases and Active Directory/LDAP can assist with:
- Monitoring directory services for deviations to objects, attributes, and schema.
- Detecting unexpected changes. These changes may be limited to a single entity, such as an addition of a new account, or can have a broader impact, such as a denial of service, due to the inherent, hierarchical design.
Awareness and alerts to such deviations are pertinent to protecting your sensitive data.
5. Point of Sale (POS) Systems
With POS systems, credit card data must be secure to avoid a data breach or a hindering of critical IT assets. Maintaining PCI compliance means that, in part, you have software that gives you complete visibility over all changes to your devices which allows you to restore changes or prevent them completely.
There are many modes of operation when it comes to POS systems. For example, you should be able to log changes and also be alerted to create an audit trail. Some file integrity monitoring software is able to deny rights to access certain files, no matter the user’s privileged access. Modes of operation can be set to monitor a single file or a group of files, and customers’ payment information is safe and never compromised.
Stay Secure with FIM
CimTrak can provide you with the foundation to integrate with your monitored systems and devices. CimTrak is easy to install, configure, and manage so you can utilize each monitoring feature to bring the most to your IT security.

Securing your infrastructure with CimTrak helps you get compliant and stay that way. You can find out more about Cimcor and CimTrak on the web at cimcor.com/cimtrak.
Q: Joining us today is President and CEO Robert E Johnson, III. Robert has been a pioneer in the development of next-gen system integrity monitoring, self-healing systems, and cybersecurity software. Welcome back, Robert. Great speaking with you. How have you been?
A: Been great, and great to be back with your show, Zack.
Q: Now, today we're going to talk about the buzz around system hardening and I think this is gonna be interesting. Now, last year, we talked a little bit about system hardening, but I feel like we just scratched the surface. I want you today if you'd mind, to talk about the approach organizations might want to take when it comes to system hardening.
A: As a reminder, system hardening is a process of reducing the attack surface of your IT assets, this is usually accomplished by configuring your IT assets in a specific manner, according to industry, best practices. So, there are two sets of best practices that are typically used for configuring these IT assets. The first source is DISA STIGs. These are configuration best practices, as defined by the US Government. These STIGs are available for many common operating systems such as Windows and Linux and several others. In fact, many government and defense agencies require systems to be configured according to these DISA STIGs.
Outside of the government, CIS Benchmarks have become the de facto standard for configuring IT assets into a hardened state. CIS Benchmarks are developed via industry consensus and are updated quite frequently. In addition, CIS Benchmarks are available for over 140 different types of operating systems and devices, databases, and other IT assets. It's the most robust set of system hardening guidelines that are available. Your enterprise should pick the set of system hardening standards, whether DISA STIGs or CIS Benchmarks, that make the most sense for your organization and the type of organization that you have. Many times, organizations will harden the golden image of certain systems that they are deploying first, and then they'll roll that image out to the entire organization or use it as the basis for every time a new server or workstation is built and deployed.
Q: Thanks for mentioning DISA STIGs and CIS Benchmarks. How can organizations ensure their assets remained in a hardened state?
A: That's a very good question. Many organizations don't realize or don't know if their systems are in a hardened state or not. Many times, folks will harden their systems, and then they simply hope that they stay in that hardened state. And, as we all know, hope is not a strategy.
A common practice is to perform an assessment on an annual basis, just to verify if they're in this hardened state. In my opinion, you should attempt to measure the state of hardening in your organization, really on a continuous basis. Because if you can measure the state of hardening the organization, let's face it, what you're really measuring is your overall security posture. As a general industry, we should all move toward and strive toward measuring our security posture, continuously. Even though this sounds like a tall order, and what I'm saying is a big task, I believe it's possible and is possible by using this new category of software called system integrity monitoring tools.
Q: So, are you saying that we should monitor all of our IT assets in a hardened state and do it on a daily basis? Is that going to be difficult to accomplish on a daily basis?
A: That's exactly what I'm saying, Zack. You need to know if your key assets are continuously in the expected, hardened state. If they aren't, that means that your assets have a greater attack surface and have increased risk associated with them. I do understand why you feel like this might be difficult to accomplish, especially if you're trying to accomplish this with traditional tools or even do it manually.
However, we've been heads down working on our CimTrak Integrity Suite, and our compliance module does exactly that. CimTrak can assess all of your IT assets, so you have an insight into any resources that deviate from an expected hardened state. We provide this insight for Windows, Linux, and about 140 other operating systems and device types. Once we identify a system is no longer in a hardened state, we can provide robust reports that even provide you with the exact guidance necessary to configure that system to once again be in a proper, hardened state. So, as a bonus, CimTrak can take all of that information that's been gathered and curated into evidence, so that you can easily show your auditors that you've done the right things, and had the right controls in place for a variety of compliance and regulatory frameworks from PCI to HIPAA, Sarbanes Oxley, and about 70 others. It's extremely easy to benefit, implement, and configure CimTrak, and this is one of the only tools that you'll be able to see benefits from right away. We're always open to providing a demo or a free trial to anyone in your audience. So Zack, if they're interested just have them reach out to us. We would love the show them our technology.
Q: Where can they reach out to you? What's the address and the information online?
A: Sure, you can reach out to us or learn more at www.cimcor.com. That's spelled C, as in cat, I M C O R .com
Q: Robert always a pleasure talking with you can't wait to talk to you again. Thanks for joining us today,
A: I appreciate the opportunity, Zack. Can't wait to join your show again. Thank you

Recorded live the 17th July 2023 in the Cave Haven in Foucherans (france).
The same day than Orpheus Secret by REfugEEs From Beyond.
Well it was a very warm day of summer and we were very happy to play again together*…
Also this is perhaps the very last recording of Multiple Personality 3, that’s why it sounds sometime closer to PIRATE Tapes
*Halas it was a so small cellar to host five people like us inside without to be a total mess. It could be our worst improvisation session ! Like 5 elements unable to play together… till the last track when we remain only 3. I apologize I should have read first the combo name “Multiple Personality 3” and understand that to play in trio is the best line-up for us.
Loosely based on the Book Of Mutations…

Fighting Test Flakiness: A Disease that Artificial Intelligence Will Cure
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is making it possible for computers to diagnose some medical diseases more accurately than doctors. Such systems analyze millions of patient records, recognize underlying data patterns, and generalize them for diagnosing previously unseen patients. A key challenge is determining whether a patient's symptoms and history are attributed to a known disease or other factors. Software testers face a similar problem when triaging automation failures. They investigate questions like, Is the failure due to a defect, environmental issue, or nondeterministic test script? Is there current or historical evidence to support one belief over another? Join Tariq King as he describes how test failures and flakiness can be modeled for machine learning (ML) as causal disease-symptom relations. Learn how to extend continuous integration (CI) tools with ML classifiers that, once trained, can predict the source of failures. Tariq shares his experiences using this approach to clean up test failures and flaky tests in CI pipelines. Join Tariq in the fight to find a cure for test flakiness! | <urn:uuid:c70f5fab-1e50-4b21-b7b5-6c377b66a475> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.cmcrossroads.com/presentation/fighting-test-flakiness-disease-artificial-intelligence-will-cure | 2023-09-27T12:44:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.90227 | 228 |

Dark mode in MacOS Mojave: How it works and what it does
MacOS gets dark mode for reals this time.
Matt ElliottSenior Editor
Matt Elliott is a senior editor at CNET with a focus on laptops and streaming services. Matt has more than 20 years of experience testing and reviewing laptops. He has worked for CNET in New York and San Francisco and now lives in New Hampshire. When he's not writing about laptops, Matt likes to play and watch sports. He loves to play tennis and hates the number of streaming services he has to subscribe to in order to watch the various sports he wants to watch.
Here's how to enable dark mode and what it does and doesn't do to your Mac's UI.
Watch this: Apple MacOS Mojave is here, but we're still waiting for one killer feature
Mojave dark mode
introduced some semblance of a dark mode with OS X Yosemite, but it turned only the menu bar and the Dock dark. Mojave does dark mode right. On most of Apple's own apps, it turns the background black and text white. The Photos app and iTunes, in particular, look great in dark mode -- the colors of your photos and album art really pop against the black background.
Dark mode's impact is felt less in Safari. In Apple's browser, the title bar at the top turns black but web pages are displayed in the same manner as they are in regular, light mode. All that whiteness and brightness can be jarring against the dark elements of dark mode.
At launch, third-party apps have yet to adopt the dark mode UI but many should soon now that Mojave is out. Chrome's translucent title bar, however, looks darker against a dark background.
Dark to light
I haven't found a shortcut for toggling between light and dark modes, but it's not too difficult to locate it in System Preferences. Just go to System Preferences > General and you'll see the Light and Dark options at the top for Appearance.
Dark mode with Dynamic desktop
With Mojave, Apple has introduced a dynamic wallpaper that slowly changes its lighting throughout the day, going from a bright, sunny desert scene during the day and transitioning to a cool, dark screen at night. You can find it by going to System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver.
If you have the dynamic wallpaper selected, your wallpaper will change from the daylight scene to the nighttime scene when you enable dark mode (and vice versa). Without the dynamic wallpaper selected, your wallpaper stays the same when you jump in and out of dark mode, lessening its impact.

The brainchild of French designer Arturo Erbsman, the Atmos lamp eloquently uses water condensation and evaporation to diffuse light into the room.
CNET freelancer Anthony Domanico is passionate about all kinds of gadgets and apps. When not making words for the Internet, he can be found watching Star Wars or "Doctor Who" for like the zillionth time. His other car is a Tardis.
I'm always impressed by products that work nature into their designs. That's why I was drawn to French designer Arturo Erbsman's Atmos lamp, which uses water's natural condensation and evaporation process to diffuse light into a room.
The Atmos has an aluminum base that houses the light source, and a handblown glass bulb that contains an inexhaustable water reserve. When you turn the lamp on, the water starts to evaporate, causing condensation to appear on the inner walls of the bulb, giving the Atmos light a beautiful, almost crystallized look. As the micro droplets on the inside of the bulb get bigger, the water drops back down into the water reserve.
Erbsman has been fascinated with water since he was a child drawing designs in the condensation on car windows -- something he tried to re-create with Atmos. Recent travels to the northernmost parts of Sweden and Finland gave Erbsman ideas on how to better understand and work with different elements of water, and on how different weather elements come into play.
You can't buy the Atmos for yourself just yet, however. Erbsman is currently working on a limited product run and will soon make a limited number of Atmos lamps available for purchase in his upcoming online store. If you happen to live in or be traveling to Milan, you can see the Atmos on display at La Rinascente.
Arturo Erbsman designed the Atmos as part of a series of projects that "reflect different points of intersection between manufactured objects and the four elements of nature." You can check out his other works, including a cumulus cloud lamp, a snow catcher lamp and a polar light on Erbsman's projects page. | <urn:uuid:d8b6776c-c695-4a58-a574-65ebfbb83fed> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.cnet.com/tech/computing/this-beautiful-lamp-uses-water-to-diffuse-light/ | 2023-09-27T13:12:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.945726 | 451 |
Advancing the native plant mission is a multi-disciplinary effort. Our work is diverse by design, blending science and conservation with gardening and education. Together, we are the voice for native plants. Select from the options below to learn about our core programs.
Many more people focus on animals than plants, or they focus on the human-environment issues. All of these are important, but CNPS fills a specific and important role in protecting natural diversity in California. CNPS has done more than any other group — perhaps in the world — in caring for our native flora.
Susan Cochrane Levitsky
CNPS Legacy Member and former chief of the CA Dept of Fish and Wildlife Natural Heritage Division
From the Blog
From local grassroots to the US Capitol, the work continues to expand Berryessa National Monument and permanently protect Molok Luyuk.
A CNPS chapter field trip yields an intriguing new discovery—the presence of spotted coralroot orchid (Corallorhiza maculata) in a new place!
The bill would have created CA's first native plant requirement and signaled the importance of supporting biodiversity through landscaping. | <urn:uuid:2cd08dba-9707-4250-b7f3-7a21b229eafc> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.cnps.org/our-work | 2023-09-27T11:47:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.91891 | 241 |
Justice of the Peace - FAQ
This information is provided as a guide for the public. The Court is not allowed by law to provide legal advice.
Can I talk to the Judge about my case?
No, the Judge is barred by law from talking to either side of a case without the other person (or persons) present. That is considered a one-sided conversation (ex-parte).
What are the different kinds of Civil cases handled by the Justice Court?
The four different kinds of civil lawsuits heard in Justice Court are:
A small claims case is a lawsuit brought for the recovery of money damages, civil penalties, personal property, or other relief allowed by law. The claim can be for no more than $20,000, excluding statutory interest and court costs but including attorney fees, if any.
A debt claim case is a lawsuit brought to recover a debt by an assignee of a claim, a debt collector or collection agency, a financial institution, or a person or entity primarily engaged in the business of lending money at interest. The claim can be for no more than $20,000, excluding statutory interest and court costs but including attorney fees, if any.
An eviction case is a lawsuit brought to recover possession of real property, often by a landlord against a tenant. A claim for rent may be joined with an eviction case if the amount of rent due and unpaid is not more than $20,000, excluding statutory interest and court costs but including attorney fees, if any.
REPAIR AND REMEDY
A repair and remedy case is a lawsuit filed by a residential tenant under Chapter 92, Subchapter B of the Texas Property Code to enforce the landlord’s duty to repair or remedy a condition materially affecting the physical health or safety of an ordinary tenant. The relief sought can be for no more than $10,000, excluding statutory interest and court costs but including attorney fees, if any.
I was just served with a civil citation, what now?
If it was a small claims citation, it should tell you that you must answer to the suit by the end of the 14th day after the day you were served the papers. If the 14th day is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the answer is due by the end of the first day following the Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday. Your answer is simply your denial or acknowledgment of the debt, not the merits of the case. If you deny the debt, the case will be set for trial; if you acknowledge the debt, a judgement will be rendered against you without trial.
If you were served with an eviction citation, there will be a hearing date and time on the citation. This is the date and time you should appear in court to tell the Judge why you should not be evicted.
Your failure to answer or appear could result in a default judgement rendered against you.
I need to file a small claims suit, where do I file it and how much does it cost
The basic rule of venue (location where the suit will be heard) is that someone has the right to be sued where they live; there are exceptions to this rule. Should there be a motion by the defendant (the person being sued) to transfer venue, a hearing will be held to determine if a transfer of venue will be granted. This could delay the proceedings.
If the transfer is granted, the plaintiff (person bringing the suit) will be required to pay filing fees again. In Clay County, the filing fee is $54.00 and the service fee is currently $110 for each person sued. If the person sued lives outside Clay County, please call the Court for information.
How much can I sue for in Justice Court?
The jurisdictional limit in Justice Court is $20,000, excluding statutory interest and court costs, but including attorney’s fees, if any.
Where do I file an eviction suit?
An eviction suit must be filed in the Justice of the Peace precinct where the property is located. Clay County has one Justice of the Peace precinct. All evictions for property in Clay County are filed in this Court.
Can I include electric / water bills along with past due rent in an eviction suit?
No, the only thing that is considered in an eviction suit is who has a greater right to possession of the property in question and if any past due rent is owed. Any other debt can be addressed in a small claims suit.
Can the property owner send an agent to file the case and appear in court for them?
Yes, when the agent appears in court, they must have a signed, notarized statement from the property owner designating the person as their agent. The agent must also have knowledge of the facts and be able to testify to the facts in court.
Can I get my marriage license at the Justice of the Peace office and get married there?
No, a marriage license can be obtained through any County Clerk’s office in the State of Texas. In Clay County, the County Clerk is at the Court House Annex:
214 N. Main Street
Henrietta, Texas 76365
The Clay County Justice of the Peace does not perform marriage ceremonies. Please contact the County Judge’s office at 940.538.4651 for other options.
Can I pay my property taxes here?
No, property taxes can be paid at the Clay County Appraisal District office:
101 E. Omega
Henrietta, Texas 76365
Can I file for divorce in the Justice Court?
No, divorce proceedings are usually handled by the District Court.
Can I file probate in the Justice Court?
No, probate is usually filed with the County Clerk and handled by the County Court. | <urn:uuid:6fc20a40-51d2-45d1-a6c4-f294fc140e5d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.co.clay.tx.us/copy-of-jp-faq-tickets-lre | 2023-09-27T12:08:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.951509 | 1,216 |

The iconic cowboy boot got its start centuries ago. In the beginning, they were worn for horseback riding. As people settled into the new world and started moving west, the American-style cowboy boot became popular with farmers, ranchers, cowboys, and city folk. Today’s boots are built for comfort, style, and hard work. Some of the best boots around are handcrafted by Dan Post. Here’s why Dan Post Boots are among the products we love at Coastal.
History of Dan Post
Like any good company, Dan Post has a beginning. But unlike others, this one was all about solving an impossible problem. How do you make a pair of boots that are rugged yet comfortable with the first step? That’s what the folks at Dan Post set out to do in the early 1960s.
Dan Post was the first to discover that with the right materials, including exotic skins and premium leathers, as well as technologically advanced materials, it was possible to build the perfect boots. Today, Dan Post boots are known for handcrafted cushion comfort for men, women, and kids. These boots are built to last, look good, and tackle the tough jobs — even a night on the town.
Built to Last
Every pair of Dan Post boots starts with the right materials that are then handcrafted for artistry and comfort throughout their 160-step quality process. Dan Post is proud to craft boots that are work certified, including many that are waterproof, oil resistant, heat resistant, and include safety features such as a steel or composite toe.
The Dan Post comfort system includes a hinged cushion, PerformAir airflow technology, ultimate gel flex, and are built to be ultra-light. The removable Dan Post AirFlow Orthotic revolutionized the industry with shock-absorption for incredible energy return, maximum cushioning and support, breathability from the heel to the toe, antifungal and antibacterial agents, as well as moisture-wicking technology to keep your feet cool and dry.

If a course of medical treatment doesn’t work or the outcome isn’t what you hoped for, that doesn’t mean your doctor or another medical professional committed medical malpractice. In order to make a successful medical malpractice case, our law firm must establish the following elements:
You may be entitled to compensation for a medical mistake or a loved one’s wrongful death. A recent study at the University of Johns Hopkins found that medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the United States, with more than 250,000 deaths annually.
Medical negligence can occur in a hospital, doctor’s office, nursing home, and other medical facilities. Common types of medical negligence include medication errors, surgical errors, misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis, anesthesia errors, infections, and charting errors.
If you believe that you or a loved one has been the victim of medical negligence, it is essential to choose the right lawyer to protect your legal rights while fighting for the justice and compensation you deserve.
At Cochran, Kroll & Associates, P.C. our seasoned lawyers have the knowledge, skill, and resources to handle complex medical malpractice cases.

If you’ve been injured in a crash involving a truck, you’ll benefit greatly from some legal advice.
The most common characteristics of all accidents between a truck and car involve turning errors, lane change errors, and visibility issues when backing up. Some crashes are caused by some combination of a truck’s braking, acceleration, and visibility characteristics — and the car driver’s ignorance of these characteristics.
Who Is Liable?
Proving fault in a crash between a passenger car and truck is more complicated than you think, and actual liability could rest with several entities.
The trucking company may be liable when the driver is negligent, but if the truck was overloaded, it’s more likely the distributor that loaded the truck is liable. If there are mechanical issues, it could be the leasing company responsible for vehicle maintenance who can be held liable.
If you are considering a personal injury claim to recover damages, Cochran, Kroll & Associates P.C. is a law firm that’s ready to identify and document all factors of potential liability, interview witnesses, and secure expert testimony, if necessary, to make the case. The insurance company that is representing the trucking company does not want to go to court, but we will be ready to go to court, if necessary, to get the compensation you need and deserve.
Clients tell us all the time that they wished they’d called us sooner. Even if you believe that the insurance claim process will be simple and straightforward, consulting with an attorney can help ensure it remains that way.
If you’ve been injured, in the immediate aftermath of your crash with a tractor-trailer or semi-truck, you may not be physically or emotionally capable of handling any kind of settlement discussion. Getting legal representation early on can take work off your plate, and hopefully provide you with some peace of mind.
There’s often significant background work involved in the settlement process, too, and the full extent of your injuries need to be fully evaluated when considering damages and compensation.
Cochran, Kroll & Associates P.C. is ready to meet with you at your convenience to learn more about your situation and make recommendations. After this free consultation, if we decide to work together, it will be a contingency fee agreement. This means we don’t receive any payment until you get your settlement.

The Great Yankees
These magnificent Yankees, Mantle, Berra, Ford, DiMaggio and Stengel gathered together for an Old Timers’ Day on August 3, 1974.
They are all gone now, but what lives they lived! This painting hung in Mickey Mantle’s restaurant in Manhattan, but not for very long. It was bought by a gentleman who was a garmento. That’s someone who has business in the garment district, particularly in New York.
Fortunately, I’d drawn and gotten signed portraits of each of these men at various times.
This beloved painting of these great Yankees is now, for the first time, available in print. Limited edition, 16X12, printed on premium heavyweight gloss paper, signed and numbered by the artist, Carole Diane Heslin.

The United States Mint increased their pace of striking coins for circulation in September after their production in August hit a 20-month low, but the number minted was still among the lowest over the past year.
A few million above 1 billion coins — spread across cents, nickels, dimes, and quarters — were struck last month, marking an increase of 5.9% from August but a decline of 14.2% from September 2021.
Here’s how the month compares against others in the past year:
September 2021 to September 2022 Circulating Coin Production
|September 2022||1,003.72 M||11|
|August 2022||948.06 M||13|
|July 2022||1,100.62 M||10|
|June 2022||1,141.60 M||8|
|May 2022||1,255.32 M||4|
|April 2022||1,278.88 M||2|
|March 2022||1,452.58 M||1|
|February 2022||1,260.12 M||3|
|January 2022||1,249.84 M||5|
|December 2021||953.37 M||12|
|November 2021||1,104.7 M||9|
|October 2021||1,213.86 M||6|
|September 2021||1,169.28 M||7|
The U.S. Mint’s main mission is to manufacture coins based on the nation’s demand and then transport them to Reserve Banks and their coin terminals for distribution into circulation.
The Federal Reserve orders more 1-cent coins from the U.S. Mint than any other denomination even as data shows that it costs 2.1 cents to make and distribute each one. The Mint struck 425.6 million Lincoln cents in September, representing 42.4% of the circulating-quality coins produced last month. Historically, the percentage is from around the low to mid 50s. That has not been the case for several months now with August at 47%, July at 39.4% and June at 40.2%.
In month-over month comparisons for coins used daily by Americans, production totals in September saw:
- 4.6% fewer Lincoln cents,
- 25.1% more Jefferson nickels,
- 13.1% more Roosevelt dimes, and
- 11.9% more quarters.
Native American $1 coins are no longer ordered by the Federal Reserve, but they are still made in circulating quality for coin collectors. The same is true, or was until last year, for Kennedy half-dollars. Traditionally in January, the U.S. Mint produces both denominations to the expected amounts needed for the entire year. That was the case for Native American dollars in 2021 and for this year (so far), but not for Kennedy halves which saw their mintages increase in multiple months this year (January, May and June) and last year (February, March, April, May and August).
Published mintages of 2022 Native American dollars show equal splits of 980,000 from Denver and 980,000 from Philadelphia for a combined 1.96 million coins. In contrast, the 2021 dollar logged splits of 1.26 million for Denver and 1.26 million for Philadelphia for 2.52 million coins.
In May, mintages for the 2022 Kennedy half-dollar increased for the second time this year, posting a combined increase of 3.6 million to more than double the 3.2 million made in January. They climbed again in June by 2.9 million. Unchanged since, half dollar mintages stand at 4.9 million from Denver and 4.8 million from Philadelphia for a total of 9.7 million. Last year’s half-dollar ended with a mix of 7.7 million from Denver and 5.4 million from Philadelphia for a combined 13.1 million.
The U.S. Mint started selling rolls, bags and boxes of 2022 Native American dollars on Feb. 9. It released rolls and bags of 2022 Kennedy halves on May 5.
Here’s a summary of all the circulating-quality coins produced last month:
U.S. Mint Circulating Coin Production in September 2022
|Native American $1 Coin||0||0||0|
Minting facilities in Philadelphia and Denver are tasked with making all U.S. coins for commerce. Last month, the Denver Mint struck 536.08 million coins and the Philadelphia Mint pressed 467.64 million coins for the combined 1,003,720,000 coins.
Year to date, the Denver Mint made 5,381,600,000 coins and the Philadelphia Mint made 5,309,140,000 coins for a total of 10,690,740,000 coins, which is 4.7% fewer than the 11,211,540,000 coins minted through the same period in 2021.
This next table lists coin production totals by denomination and by U.S. Mint facility:
YTD 2022 Circulating Coin Production by Denomination
|1 ¢||5 ¢||10 ¢||25 ¢||50 ¢||N.A. $1||Total:|
If the current production pace stretched through to December, the annual mintage for 2022 would reach just over 14.2 billion coins. The U.S. Mint manufactured nearly 14.5 billion coins for circulation in 2021.
2022 Quarter Mintages
In addition to the 2022 Native American dollar with its one-year-only design, the U.S. Mint through September released the first four issues from their four-year program of American Women quarter dollars. Each features a unique design. They include:
- the 2022 Maya Angelou quarter which began circulating in early January. (The Mint started selling collectible Maya Angelou quarters in rolls and bags on Feb. 7.)
- the 2022 Dr. Sally Ride quarter which started circulating toward the end of March. (The Mint started selling collectible Dr. Ride Sally Angelou quarters in rolls and bags on March 22.)
- the 2022 Wilma Mankiller quarter which began circulating in early June. (The Mint started selling collectible Mankiller quarters in rolls and bags on June 14.)
- the 2022 Nina Otero-Warren quarter which started circulating mid-August. (The Mint started selling collectible Nina Otero-Warren quarters in rolls and bags on Aug 16.)
From the overall production total, there are 269.8 million in quarters that the U.S. Mint has yet to officially assign to a design. These are likely Nina Otero-Warren quarters with more yet be made.
This last table offers a breakdown of this year’s mintages that have been reported by coin design, including the first two quarters:
2022 Circulating Coin Production by Design
|Maya Angelou Quarter||258,200,000||237,600,000||495,800,000|
|Dr. Sally Ride Quarter||278,000,000||275,200,000||553,200,000|

Tired as we all are of terms like “innovative”, “strategic” and “leading-edge”, such endless repetition is understandable — in the marketing lexicon there are only so many words and phrases available to describe the particulars of the business world.
Lately I’ve noticed that I’m suffering market-speak fatigue with another word: “passion”. Apparently every company on earth has a passion for what they do. Somewhere there must be a kitchen utensil company claiming they’re passionate about making shrimp deveiners.
Some of these claims are certainly genuine, but many companies are just trying to cloak their brand in a human emotion rather than admitting that every decision they make is driven by their bottom line.
Don’t get us wrong, we’re big passion fans. Many of the world’s most useful products and inventions wouldn’t have seen the light of day if not for someone’s inspiration and perseverance born of passion. But all the passion in the world can’t get a product to market if the world isn’t ready for it, or is not in need of it.
Then there’s the blind passion (read: overconfidence) that leads companies to invest heavily in a rush to corner the market, never imagining that customers could have any reason to reject their product. Or maybe their gut is right about their product, but they’re going after the wrong audience, or their message/look/name is misguided.
You see, even with all of your passion, smarts, and perhaps past successes, there are facts and insights that only professional market research can dig up.
Passion only gets you so far — you still need to understand the marketplace.
Know who was a pioneer at knowing where passion left off, and understanding the marketplace began? Picasso! Here’s what ol’ Pablo had to say about it:
“I have not the courage to think of myself as an artist in the great and ancient sense of the term. Giotto, Titian, Rembrandt were great painters. I am only a public entertainer who has understood his times…”
Imagine that. Basically, Picasso was just an artist who understood his time — or marketplace, if you will.
The most successful companies know how and when to harness their passion, while using market research to reveal valuable data about their current or potential markets — data that frankly couldn’t care less about their company’s goals, sales projections, or yes, passion. | <urn:uuid:8a8c1129-5749-449c-967d-a410d35b374e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.colemanwick.com/passion-backed-by-facts-winning/ | 2023-09-27T11:51:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.968123 | 545 |
Doe v. Harvard University, No. 1:18-CV-12150-IT, 2020 WL 2769945 (D. Mass. May 28, 2020)
06/16/2020John Doe was suspended for 4 semesters after being found responsible for engaging in “conduct of a sexual nature, occurring when [Jane Roe] was [incapacitated].” Doe filed this lawsuit alleging breach of contract; breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing; negligence; and violations of Title IX, 42 U.S.C. § 1981, and 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The Court denied Harvard’s motion to dismiss as to the breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and § 1981 violation, and granted the motion as to the remaining claims.
On April 1, 2017, John Doe and Jane Roe attended a party along with six other members of their acapella group. Both John and Jane consumed alcohol and it is alleged they engaged in consensual sexual acts during the party. After the party, John and Witness 1 helped Jane carry equipment back to Jane’s dorm room, where Jane allegedly asked John to stay. The two are then alleged to have engaged in consensual sexual activity. The next morning, Jane claimed to not remember what happened the night before. John argues that Jane lied about not remembering what happened because she felt guilty about cheating on her boyfriend.
In dismissing John’s Title IX claim, the Court held that John had failed to show gender bias motivated Harvard’s findings. John failed to identify a similarly situated female accused of sexual misconduct who was treated differently based on their gender. Instead, John relied solely on the weight of the evidence to show gender bias. However, to show gender bias from underlying evidence alone, the evidence must substantially favor one party’s version of a disputed matter. Here, the allegations that Jane was lying were not substantially favored by the evidence. Instead, it was equally plausible that Jane was impaired by the consumption of alcohol and the sexual contact was unwelcome under Harvard’s policy. Furthermore, allegations showing anti-respondent bias are not the same as anti-male bias.
John’s breach of contract claim survived because Harvard failed to afford John a follow-up interview between his first interview and the conclusion of the investigation. This was guaranteed to John under Harvard’s policies. John’s alternative breach of contract claim based upon Harvard’s refusal to allow John and Jane to resolve the allegations informally was dismissed because the policies explicitly gave Harvard the discretion to require a formal resolution. John’s breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing survived for the same reason as John’s breach of contract claim.
John successfully pleaded a § 1981 violation for race discrimination by alleging that white students accused of sexual misconduct could proceed informally whereas he was not. By providing a comparator group, John alleged he was treated differently due to his race.
Finally, John’s § 1983 claim was dismissed because following the 2011 Dear Colleague Letter and accepting federal money does not turn Harvard into a state actor. Additionally, John’s negligence claim was dismissed because the duty of care between a student and his university is one created by contract. Therefore, any alleged failure to use due care must sound in contract, not in tort.CATEGORY: Sexual Misconduct | <urn:uuid:6aa2524b-3233-4ce8-8cb5-7014d4df9ff7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.collegedisciplinelaw.com/Doe-v-Harvard-University-No-118-CV-12150-IT-2020- | 2023-09-27T12:20:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.972761 | 705 |
Doe v. Tex. A&M Univ., 2021 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 14114, No. H-20-4332 (S.D. Tex. Jan 26, 2021)
02/01/2021Plaintiff John Doe was found responsible for sexually assaulting Jane Roe during a spring break trip to Gruene, Texas. John Doe and Jane Roe, both seniors, had known each other since they were freshmen. It was alleged that after a night of heavy drinking with friends, Doe led Roe to her bedroom, locked the door behind them, and confessed he had a crush on Roe. The two then kissed, and Doe sexually penetrated Roe. Doe claims he does not remember anything from that night beyond drinking and being drunk. Roe claims she has a gap in her memory between Doe kissing her and then her realization that she was lying face down on the edge of the bed, with her jeans and underwear pulled down to her knees and Doe penetrating her from behind. Texas A&M’s (the “University”) Title IX disciplinary proceeding found that Roe was incapacitated and unable to consent. Doe unsuccessfully appealed the University’s decision. He then filed this action, alleging Title IX and due-process violations and seeking a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction preventing his one-year suspension from taking effect.
To succeed on a motion for a preliminary injunction, Plaintiff must show: (1) a likelihood of success on the merits; (2) irreparable harm; (3) the threatened injury will outweigh any harms that will result if the injunction is granted; and (4) the grant of an injunction will not disserve the public interest.
Doe failed to show a likelihood of success on the merits. First, Doe’s due process claim is likely to fail because Texas has not waived federal-court immunity under §1983 actions. Second, Doe’s Title IX erroneous outcome claim is unlikely to succeed because there is no evidence of procedural irregularities or other evidence to cast doubt on the accuracy of the University proceedings. In fact, “the record reflects that Doe received a full and fair hearing, with his counsel present throughout, with his counsel cross-examining witnesses, and with Doe making a closing statement. The record also supports the inference that Doe was the one who had sex with Roe the night of the party.” Doe also tried to argue that he was not the one who assaulted Roe, but Roe clearly identified him based on his voice and physical appearance. Ultimately, there was no evidence to contradict Roe’s account of what happened that night.
Doe’s selective enforcement claim also fails to meet the first prong for a preliminary injunction because Doe failed to show any evidence of gender bias. While Roe filed her complaint against Doe in April 2020, Doe chose to wait until November 2020 to file his complaint against Roe. As a result, Doe’s allegations are still being investigated by the University. Additionally, Doe received the lowest possible sanction for sexual assault, so there is no evidence of an overly severe punishment motivated by gender. Accordingly, Doe failed to show that he is likely to succeed on the merits.
The Court also held that the delay in Doe’s education and any reputational damage he may suffer is compensable and/or speculative. Therefore, Doe failed to show irreparable harm. Likewise, Doe failed to show the injury to him from denying the injunction outweighs the harm to the University and the public interest. The personal harm to Doe did not outweigh the harm an injunction would cause to the University, which had worked hard to craft and follow procedures for resolving student-sexual assault claims that comply with federal statutes and regulation, are fair to both sides, and further the institution's educational mission.
Accordingly, the Court denied John Doe’s motion for a preliminary injunction.CATEGORY: Due Process | <urn:uuid:7f0c30e0-0664-4e4c-b7ac-d119280a7214> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.collegedisciplinelaw.com/Doe-v-Tex-AampM-Univ-2021-US-Dist-LEXIS-14114-No- | 2023-09-27T12:17:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.975522 | 804 |

Tulane has kept it simple with its classic supplemental questions, so we’ll make this introduction brief. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: a straightforward supplement is a demand for perfection. So don’t overlook these quickie questions: read our guide instead!
Okay, can we talk about this word limit? And don’t even get us started on the parenthetical “optional.” In a nutshell, Tulane is saying, “Do what you want.” But we’ve got some suggestions of our own. First and foremost, this essay is not optional (despite what it may say). A classic why essay like this one is a time-honored supplement tradition, and your answer can reveal a lot to admissions about your potential fit and overall commitment to the school. Not writing it implies that you might not have a reason to apply; in which case, why are you wasting everyone’s time? Spend some time on the Tulane website and get to know the school. Explore all areas of social and academic life to build your list of reasons. And while you could technically write 800 words, keep in mind that admissions’ time is limited. The more you write, the less time they have to spend reading each word. Strike a happy medium and aim for 300 words or so.
This brand new prompt for the 2021-22 admissions cycle reminds us of the Common App’s first prompt, which asks applicants to discuss, among other things, an element of their background or identity that is crucial to understanding them. We recommend approaching this prompt with a similar mindset: What about your history or background sets you apart from your peers? How do you define yourself? What, in your short time on this earth, has helped shape the person you are today? Show admissions that you will add to the wide range of multicultural experiences and perspectives of Tulane’s student body.
In short, this classic activity essay gives you an opportunity to expand beyond the mini description for one activity listed on your Common App. Ideally, you should choose one that you haven’t already discussed: If you already wrote your Common App personal statement on the transformative power of dance, you’ll have to seek inspiration elsewhere for this essay! As you weigh your options, consider highlighting a long-term activity. Tracing your four-year involvement with meditation club will allow you to showcase your personal growth or maybe underscore your leadership qualities. If your resume is light on extracurriculars, don’t forget that you can also discuss a professional experience. From flipping burgers to interning at a museum, what have your work experiences taught you about the value of your time and your potential career aspirations?

Trust Your Light, Painting with Laly Mille
Laly Mille is the guest teacher for the Artist Melange with Kellee Wynne Studios. You can learn more about the Studio Courses HERE.
INTRODUCING LALY MILLE OF @lalymille
Residing near the beautiful medieval town of Angers, France with her husband and two children, Laly has created a light-filled beautiful existence fueled by nature, art and loving-kindness. As an online teacher, she spreads her joyful approach as an artist to creatives all over the world.
Show up, just as you are.
Make art that is true to you, art that comes from your soul.
Find what you love, follow your inner compass, and forge your path.
Experiment, play, explore and welcome the unexpected: that’s how you will find your own personal techniques and style.
Show up, again and again, and above all, show your art!
Take a Look at Laly’s Process:
Laly started making art about 8 years ago and what really got her started was discovering mixed media art. She felt like all of a sudden she was given permission to not love just one thing, but as many as she liked! For Laly it was freeing to realize that she didn't have to commit to just one art practice, nor had to learn "traditional" art, but that she could instead explore and experiment with anything that attracted her, anything that felt good and exciting, and follow the light of her own inner artist!
Laly gathers elements from nature all the time: twigs, pebbles, feathers, seeds... she spots them on her walks and then display them around the studio with all their beautiful textures and colors. They remind Laly of her precious connection to the natural world and constantly inspire her paintings. Then the next step is to actually incorporate these treasures INTO her art.
Learn more on Laly’s website: www.lalymille.com
A FEW FUN THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT LALY MILLE:
December is one of Laly’s favorite times of the year! She loves the feeling of wonder when you know that something really special is on its way. And she loves it when that « Christmas feel » shows up at other times of the year!
Laly is not a dog person, but she has 1, 2, 3, 4… 5 kitties! Laly says that a cat purring on your lap is just one of the most relaxing things ever… but a cat set loose in the studio is not!
Laly is a good mix between messy and control freak: sometimes you’d think a hurricane has blown through her studio, yet upon closer inspection, you’d realize that papers are sorted into categories and supplies are organized by medium, then by color within each medium… it’s « supposed » to help her tidy up the mess…
The movie that never fails to cheer her up is… Legally Blond with Reese Witherspoon! Just the opening song is enough to give her a boost.
Her family is a family of book lovers and Laly and her husband still read bedtime stories to their children every night. They are 9 and 12 and the stories just get more and more interesting!
YOUR TURN: USE NATURE TO INSPIRE YOU
Take a walk in the nearest quiet park or wooded area and search for what fills you with wonder and joy. These little things are the sparks to light your soul.
Now it’s time to create texture and translucency, contrast, light and shadow, white-on-white effects, and layers of color... Explore it all, from your surroundings to the canvas and above all from what lives in your soul.

America’s digital divide is not a matter of convenience or luxury. Fast, reliable internet service is an essential part of modern living.
Applying for jobs, shopping for groceries and attending medical appointments are everyday tasks now commonly conducted online. The COVID-19 pandemic also has made the internet essential for school work, and streaming movies or TV shows can help combat coronavirus boredom.
These days, efforts to improve internet access for underserved communities are akin to the electrification of the United States early in the 20th century. In 1920, 35 percent of American households had electricity; by 1929, that had increased to 68 percent, with rural communities typically the ones left in the dark.
From 1934 to 1941, the federal government ran the Rural Electrification Administration in an effort to connect the remaining homes. As Encyclopedia.com explains: “Increasingly, this disparity between cities and the countryside was seen as unfair and a threat to the American social fabric.”
Today, the digital divide is unraveling that fabric. In pushing the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act this year, President Joe Biden said, “We’ll make sure every single American has access to high-quality affordable high-speed internet.” The bill eventually passed with $65 billion earmarked for boosting broadband access, particularly in underserved areas.
But work remains. The Federal Communications Commission’s maps of internet access are notoriously unreliable; if one household in a census block has broadband available, the entire area is considered served. As The Washington Post explained this month: “In rural areas, one block could cover dozens of square miles, creating an inaccurate picture.”
According to BroadbandNow.com, 97.4 percent of Clark County is covered by broadband service. But several rural and heavily forested counties in the state have coverage of less than 60 percent. The website reports that more than 100,000 Washington residents have no wired internet provider and more than 500,000 have access to one provider, making it impossible for them to switch.
The Legislature this year took some convoluted steps to address the situation. Lawmakers passed competing bills to help provide internet access to underserved regions, and Gov. Jay Inslee compounded the confusion by signing the bills simultaneously. Kim Wyman, secretary of state at the time, had to make a ruling on which bill takes precedence.
Aside from the turbulence, the important thing is that the Washington State Public Works Board this month approved $44.6 million in conditional grants for broadband construction projects in underserved areas. Notably, the board had received requests for more than $90 million covering 29 separate projects.
Board Chair Kathryn Gardow said: “To thrive in today’s society, internet access is a necessity for children, families, elders, and businesses. Affordable high-speed internet spurs economic growth and development, educates our students, facilitates telemedicine in rural communities, and more. The federal and state governments are making significant broadband infrastructure investments to move Washingtonians towards a more connected state and nation.”
Less than a century ago, many American households were without electricity. Changing that facilitated an economic boom that helped lift millions out of poverty and enhanced equity throughout the country. Investment in internet services can have the same impact in the 21st century. | <urn:uuid:6e4f981f-9cad-4a47-982a-5570c72edb10> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.columbian.com/news/2021/dec/29/in-our-view-close-digital-divide-to-enhance-equity/ | 2023-09-27T11:29:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.955661 | 677 |

"Destined to become one of the most talked about shows" Time Out
"Comedy in the Dark" is an innovative show which features top comedians performing in the dark. It's the most fun you can have with the lights switched off. Since the show premiered in Leicester 2008 it has visited Edinburgh Fringe, London and Denmark and toured the UK.

Maximizing the Potential of VOCA Funding for Underserved Survivors
We are at a moment of extraordinary opportunity for victims of crime. In 2015, the federal budget for Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) funds increased by $1.6 billion—from $745 million to $2.361 billion.1 These funds represent the single largest source of funding for victim services in the United States. An increase of this size is unprecedented for VOCA.
Now with an infusion of funds that—if sustained beyond 2016—will more than triple the size of the field, we have an opportunity to finally address the needs of victims of crime who have been excluded from services. The new funds can help bring services to the neighborhoods most affected by violence and least supported in its aftermath, particularly low-income communities of color. And we can do so while at the same time expanding resources to essential existing programs that serve victims of crime. We know expanded victim services can have far-reaching impact. Thirty years of advocacy for victims has brought about lasting, paradigmatic change in our culture’s response to
Thirty years of advocacy for victims has brought about lasting, paradigmatic change in our culture’s response to domestic and sexual assault, and reached millions of victims of these and other crimes. But despite the formidable work of many, the victim services field has not achieved equity in service delivery. Victims of certain crimes and from certain backgrounds are too often left out.4 Whether because of limited resources, lack of information, implicit bias, or an emphasis on partnership with law enforcement, the field has struggled to reach many survivors including immigrants; young people of color; people with disabilities; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people; and other historically marginalized communities.
When people belong to more than one of these groups, they are even more likely to be excluded from services. Closing this gap will require, in part, correcting long-standing misperceptions about who survives crime. For instance, while rarely depicted as such in media, young men of color are among those most likely to be crime victims in the United States. | <urn:uuid:a4c573db-a683-4a3f-8713-ddbd1fa4a9a0> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.commonjustice.org/expanding_the_reach_of_victim_services | 2023-09-27T12:47:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.952688 | 438 |
An intraluminal coronary stent is a metal scaffold deployed in a stenotic artery during Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). In order to have an effective deployment, a stent should be optimally placed with regard to anatomical structures such as bifurcations and stenoses. Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) is a catheter-based imaging technique generally used for PCI guiding and assessing the correct placement of the stent. A novel approach that automatically detects the boundaries and the position of the stent along the IVUS pullback is presented. Such technique aims at optimizing the stent deployment. The method requires the identification of the stable frames of the sequence and the reliable detection of stent struts. Using this data, a measure of likelihood for a frame to contain a stent is computed. Then, a robust binary representation of the presence of the stent in the pullback is obtained applying an iterative and multi-scale quantization of the signal to symbols using the Symbolic Aggregate approXimation algorithm. The technique was extensively validated on a set of 103 IVUS of sequences of in-vivo coronary arteries containing metallic and bio-absorbable stents acquired through an international multi-centric collaboration across five clinical centers. The method was able to detect the stent position with an overall F-measure of 86.4%, a Jaccard index score of 75% and a mean distance of 2.5 mm from manually annotated stent boundaries, and in bio-absorbable stents with an overall F-measure of 88.6%, a Jaccard score of 77.7 and a mean distance of 1.5 mm from manually annotated stent boundaries. Additionally, a map indicating the distance between the lumen and the stent along the pullback is created in order to show the angular sectors of the sequence in which the malapposition is present. Results obtained comparing the automatic results versus the manual annotation of two observers shows that the method approaches the inter-observer variability. Similar performances are obtained on both metallic and bio-absorbable stents, showing the flexibility and robustness of the method. This article is protected by copyright.
