LET ME TELL YOU! The Georgia Cyber Center is the future. When I found out about the The Clubhou.se’s existence, I had never been there before. It was amazing.
When I first heard of The Clubhou.se, I genuinely thought my web producer was sending me to a pool house, until I looked up what they do, and realized how in the dark I was about the whole cyber community.
Cyber seems almost like an alien world for people who don’t have military ties, or aren’t technology advanced (me). The Clubhou.se wipes away your fears and really creates a comfortable community for anyone of any age just simply trying to create and innovate ideas. | <urn:uuid:aaeb0f5f-1498-424e-92f8-1afd0c82127f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.gacybercenter.org/in-the-news/the-clubhou-se-an-innovators-playground/ | 2023-09-27T12:07:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.963605 | 148 |

Is sex ever enough? It sometimes feels as if people (especially gay men) just want more and more of it – but how much sex are we actually having? A new study done in the United Kingdom, came up with some hard (pun intended) numbers.
According to the study, done by British cashback site Quidco with a sampling of 2,000, the average Brit will have sex 5,778 times before he dies.
With a life expectancy of 83 years, that adds up to about two sexual sessions per week (if you start at 18). Remember – that’s on average, so your mileage may vary.
However, the average Brit will only fall in love 6.5 times in their lifetime, and have 8 romantic partners – so that’s A LOT of casual hookups…
Oh, and if you’re wondering, the average Brit will have 17,031 cups of tea in his lifetime. So maybe that’s a way to win his heart… or at least a place in his bed. | <urn:uuid:4adb60fc-e2db-4713-9280-b798e8f80ed7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.gaybuzzer.com/how-much-sex-will-you-have-in-your-lifetime/ | 2023-09-27T12:29:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.963329 | 216 |

What is B-Tree? | B-Tree meaning
A B-tree is a self-balancing tree where all the leaf nodes are at the same level which allows for efficient searching, insertion and deletion of records.
Because of all the leaf nodes being on the same level, the access time of data is fixed regardless of the size of the data set.
Characteristics of B-Tree?
B-trees have several important characteristics that make them useful for storing and retrieving large amounts of data efficiently. Some of the key characteristics of B-trees are:
- Balanced: B-trees are balanced, meaning that all leaf nodes are at the same level. This ensures that the time required to access data in the tree remains constant, regardless of the size of the data set.
- Self-balancing: B-trees are self-balancing, which means that as new data is inserted or old data is deleted, the tree automatically adjusts to maintain its balance.
- Multiple keys per node: B-trees allow multiple keys to be stored in each node. This allows for efficient use of memory and reduces the height of the tree, which in turn reduces the number of disk accesses required to retrieve data.
- Ordered: B-trees maintain the order of the keys, which makes searching and range queries efficient.
- Efficient for large data sets: B-trees are particularly useful for storing and retrieving large amounts of data, as they minimize the number of disk accesses required to find a particular piece of data.
Application of B-Tree:
B-trees are commonly used in applications where large amounts of data need to be stored and retrieved efficiently. Some of the specific applications of B-trees include:
- Databases: B-trees are widely used in databases to store indexes that allow for efficient searching and retrieval of data.
- File systems: B-trees are used in file systems to organize and store files efficiently.
- Operating systems: B-trees are used in operating systems to manage memory efficiently.
- Network routers: B-trees are used in network routers to efficiently route packets through the network.
- DNS servers: B-trees are used in Domain Name System (DNS) servers to store and retrieve information about domain names.
- Compiler symbol tables: B-trees are used in compilers to store symbol tables that allow for efficient compilation of code.
Advantages of B-Tree:
B-trees have several advantages over other data structures for storing and retrieving large amounts of data. Some of the key advantages of B-trees include:
- Sequential Traversing: As the keys are kept in sorted order, the tree can be traversed sequentially.
- Minimize disk reads: It is a hierarchical structure and thus minimizes disk reads.
- Partially full blocks: The B-tree has partially full blocks which speed up insertion and deletion.
Disadvantages of B-Tree:
- Complexity: B-trees can be complex to implement and can require a significant amount of programming effort to create and maintain.
- Overhead: B-trees can have significant overhead, both in terms of memory usage and processing time. This is because B-trees require additional metadata to maintain the tree structure and balance.
- Not optimal for small data sets: B-trees are most effective for storing and retrieving large amounts of data. For small data sets, other data structures may be more efficient.
- Limited branching factor: The branching factor of a B-tree determines the number of child nodes that each node can have. B-trees typically have a fixed branching factor, which can limit their performance for certain types of data.

The Joomla! TitleLink and Shortlink extension documentation can be found at http://gesellix.github.io/titlelink/ and http://gesellix.github.io/shortlink/. Cleaning my homepage also meant cleaning up content, so I prefer not to have several copies of the same document in different places. Old links probably still refer to this homepage, so please update your links to use the official location. Thanks! Due to changed focus away from Joomla, but towards Node.js, AngularJS and other tools of that environment, i’ve been quite inactive on the Joomla extensions.
A Node.js with AngularJS based implementation of a KeePass2 browser is available at GitHub. What? You should probably know about KeePass as a tool to manage your passwords or other secrets in an encrypted file. Since the default tool to edit and view your passwords is based on .NET you might not be able to use your keys everytime you need them due to missing libraries or a wrong platform (Mono needs to be installed on Linux systems).
Playing around with docker running inside a Vagrant VM and trying to use some services being exposed via HTTP ports makes you ask how to automatically forward the exposed docker ports through Vagrant to the host system. phew I found an already merged pull request, which looked like what I wanted. So, after a peek into the docker Vagrant file I tried to expose a CouchDB port to the host system like this:
A recently published article shows our solution to initialize an AngularJS application using promises. You might have similar problems when your application initialization depends on http responses or other ansynchronous tasks. An online demo can be found at jsfiddle.net and the code is available at GitHub.
Recently I stumbled over a tool Coveralls. It helps monitoring your test coverage. You can integrate it e.g. with your Travis-CI builds by using a plugin for your favorite build tool. Needless to say that they also provide Travis-CI similar badge to show off your current test coverage near your current build status in your README file at GitHub. Their docs sadly aren’t very focused on Java tools like Maven or Gradle, so you have to find a working plugin on your own (or code a new one by using the Coveralls API).
Those who know my old web site might wonder what gesellix.net is about. Well, gesellix.de wasn’t very frequently updated with new content or posts and I guess it was in parts due to the Joomla! CMS being too much distraction when writing just a little blog post. Joomla is fine as CMS, I still like it for the massive amount of extensions and for the great community behind it. Yet, Ghost makes creating content much easier for me.
A new Gradle plugin for creating Debian compatible packages (.deb) is available at Bintray. It allows you to package any files through a convenient Gradle build script configuration into a Debian package compatible file. You may also include your MavenPublications (.jar or .war) by only referring to their publication names. To use the plugin you need some knowledge about the package structure and configuration scripts. The Debian New Maintainers' Guide, chapters 4 and 5, will help a lot.
Playing around with node.js made me build a monitoring tool to perform continuous health checks. I have an application running with a status servlet available under a URL like http://example.com/healthcheck. For a healthy system, I get a JSON as response including an attribute result.summary. In case that summary isn’t OK, I want the monitor to send me an email with details. Nothing spectacular, so you’ll find the little piece (of currently untested) code at GitHub. | <urn:uuid:35574226-7be2-426c-97a1-0ed6bc7ed97b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.gesellix.net/page/3/ | 2023-09-27T11:42:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.929465 | 892 |
Google Display Ads is a powerful platform for advertisers to reach their target audience and drive conversions. However, to maximize the effectiveness of your display ad campaigns, it is crucial to track and measure their performance accurately.
In this blog post, we will explore Google Display Ads conversion tracking, its importance in evaluating campaign success, and how it helps in attributing conversions to the right marketing efforts.
By understanding the ins and outs of conversion tracking, advertisers can optimize their display ad strategies and allocate resources more effectively.
Understanding Google Display Ads Conversion Tracking
Google Display Ads conversion tracking is a feature that allows advertisers to track and measure the actions users take after interacting with their display ads. It enables advertisers to gauge the effectiveness of their campaigns and determine the return on investment (ROI).
Conversion tracking works by placing a snippet of code, known as a conversion tracking tag, on specific web pages that indicate a successful conversion, such as a completed purchase, form submission, or sign-up.
Benefits of Conversion Tracking
Performance Evaluation: Conversion tracking provides valuable insights into the performance of your Google Display Ads campaigns. It allows you to measure key metrics like click-through rates (CTR), conversion rates, and cost per conversion. By analyzing these metrics, you can identify which ads, placements, or targeting strategies are generating the most conversions, and make data-driven decisions to optimize your campaigns.
- ROI Calculation: Conversion tracking enables you to calculate the ROI of your display ad campaigns accurately. By knowing the cost per conversion and the value of each conversion, you can determine the profitability of your advertising efforts. This information helps you allocate your budget effectively and invest in campaigns that generate the highest return.
- Campaign Optimization: Conversion tracking data provides actionable insights for optimizing your Google Display Ads campaigns. You can identify underperforming ads or placements and make adjustments to improve their effectiveness. Additionally, conversion tracking helps in A/B testing different ad variations to determine which ones yield the best results. By continuously refining your campaigns based on conversion tracking data, you can enhance their performance over time.
Implementing Google Display Ads Conversion Tracking
Setting up Conversion Actions: Before you can track conversions, you need to define the specific actions you want to track. This could include actions like purchases, form submissions, newsletter sign-ups, or any other desired user action. Google Ads provides a simple interface to set up conversion actions and assign values to each action, depending on their importance to your business goals.
- Installing Conversion Tracking Tags: Once you have defined your conversion actions, you need to install the conversion tracking tags on the appropriate web pages. These tags are snippets of code provided by Google Ads that need to be placed within the HTML of the conversion page. The tags track and send conversion data back to your Google Ads account for analysis.
- Testing and Verification: After implementing conversion tracking tags, it is crucial to test their functionality to ensure accurate tracking. Google provides a Tag Assistant tool that helps verify if the tags are working correctly. By testing the tags, you can avoid data discrepancies and ensure the reliability of your conversion tracking.
Attribution Models in Conversion Tracking
Attribution models determine how credit is assigned to various marketing channels or touchpoints that contribute to a conversion.
Google Ads offers several attribution models, such as last click, first click, linear, time decay, and data-driven attribution. Each model distributes credit differently based on the user’s interaction with different touchpoints along their conversion path. Choosing the right attribution model depends on your advertising goals and understanding the customer journey.
Best Practices for Effective Conversion Tracking
Set Clear Conversion Goals:
Define the specific actions you want to track as conversions and align them with your business goals. This clarity will help you measure the success of your display ad campaigns accurately.
Use Value-Based Conversions:
Assigning values to different conversion actions allows you to prioritize and measure the impact of each action on your business. For example, a purchase may have a higher value than a newsletter sign-up. By assigning values, you can calculate the total value generated by your campaigns.
Implement Cross-Device Tracking:
Many users interact with display ads across multiple devices before converting. Implementing cross-device tracking ensures that conversions are accurately attributed to the appropriate devices and channels. Google Ads provides tools like Google Analytics and Google Signals to enable cross-device tracking.
Utilize Conversion Tracking for Optimization:
Regularly analyze the conversion tracking data to identify trends, patterns, and areas of improvement. Optimize your ad creatives, targeting options, and bidding strategies based on the insights gained from the conversion data. This iterative approach will help you maximize the effectiveness of your display ad campaigns.
Combine Conversion Tracking with Audience Insights:
By combining conversion tracking with audience insights, you can better understand the characteristics, behaviors, and preferences of your converting audience. This information can inform your targeting strategies and help you create more personalized and relevant display ads.
Continuously Test and Experiment:
Conversion tracking allows you to conduct A/B testing on different ad variations, landing pages, and targeting options. Test different elements of your campaigns to identify the most effective combinations and refine your strategies accordingly. Regular experimentation helps you stay ahead of the competition and improve your campaign performance.
Google Display Ads conversion tracking is a fundamental tool for measuring the performance and attributing conversions to your display ad campaigns.
By implementing conversion tracking, you gain valuable insights into the effectiveness of your campaigns, calculate your return on investment, and optimize your strategies for better results. It allows you to identify successful tactics, allocate resources wisely, and refine your targeting and messaging to maximize conversions.
With the availability of various attribution models and best practices, advertisers can accurately measure the impact of their display ads throughout the customer journey. By leveraging the power of Google Display Ads conversion tracking, you can take your advertising efforts to new heights and drive meaningful results for your business. | <urn:uuid:3a9a4f17-c2fd-4005-ac0e-b7c7d6ff06c7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.getads.co/blog/google-display-ads-conversion-tracking/ | 2023-09-27T11:59:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.876217 | 1,220 |
In the world of online marketing, establishing trust and credibility is paramount to success. As consumers become more discerning and cautious with their purchasing decisions, businesses must find effective ways to build trust with their target audience. One powerful tool that has emerged in recent years is the use of testimonials and case studies in YouTube ads.
YouTube, with its vast user base and engaging video content, provides an ideal platform for businesses to showcase the real-life experiences and success stories of their customers.
By leveraging testimonials and case studies in YouTube ads, companies can create a compelling narrative that not only captures the attention of viewers but also reinforces their brand’s credibility and fosters trust.
In this blog post, we will explore the importance of testimonials and case studies in YouTube ads and how they can help businesses build trust with their audience.
The Power of Testimonials
Establishing Social Proof:
Testimonials serve as social proof, showing potential customers that others have had positive experiences with a product or service. When viewers see real people sharing their success stories, it instills confidence and validates the claims made by the business. This social proof creates a sense of trust and reduces skepticism, making it more likely for viewers to consider the product or service.
Authenticity is crucial in building trust. Testimonials offer an opportunity to present genuine, unfiltered opinions of satisfied customers. By showcasing real people, their emotions, and their personal experiences, businesses can connect with viewers on an emotional level. This emotional connection fosters trust and creates a sense of relatability, making the brand more appealing to the target audience.
Highlighting Benefits and Solutions:
Testimonials allow businesses to highlight the specific benefits and solutions their product or service offers. By sharing how the product has positively impacted the lives of customers, they can address potential pain points and showcase the value they bring. This approach helps viewers envision how the product or service could benefit them personally, making it easier to convert them into customers.
The Impact of Case Studies
Demonstrating Tangible Results:
Case studies provide a detailed analysis of how a product or service has helped solve a specific problem or achieve a particular goal. By presenting measurable results and outcomes, businesses can demonstrate their expertise and the effectiveness of their offerings. This evidence-based approach adds credibility to their claims and gives viewers a concrete reason to trust the brand.
Case studies also serve as a platform to showcase a company’s expertise and industry knowledge. By sharing in-depth insights, strategies, and best practices, businesses position themselves as trusted authorities in their respective fields. This positioning not only builds credibility but also enhances the perceived value of its offerings.
Successful case studies employ the power of storytelling to engage viewers and create an emotional connection. By presenting a relatable problem, the journey towards a solution, and the ultimate success achieved, businesses can captivate the audience’s attention. This storytelling approach helps viewers visualize themselves in similar situations and envision the positive outcomes they could experience by engaging with the brand.
Best Practices for Utilizing Testimonials and Case Studies :
Selecting the Right Stories:
To effectively build trust and credibility, businesses must carefully select testimonials and case studies that align with their target audience’s needs and aspirations. The stories should resonate with viewers and reflect the desired outcomes and benefits of the product or service being promoted.
Diversity in testimonials and case studies help broaden the appeal of the brand. By featuring a range of customer demographics, industries, and use cases, businesses can demonstrate the versatility and universal applicability of their offerings. This inclusivity sends a message that their product or service is relevant and beneficial to a wide range of individuals or businesses, further enhancing credibility.
Keeping it Authentic:
Authenticity should always be a top priority when using testimonials and case studies. It is crucial to let the customers speak in their own words and share their genuine experiences. Avoid overly scripted or overly polished content that may come across as insincere. Viewers are more likely to trust testimonials that feel authentic and relatable.
Incorporating Visual Elements:
YouTube is a visual platform, so it is essential to leverage visual elements to enhance the impact of testimonials and case studies. Consider using high-quality footage, images, or animations that complement the narrative and provide visual evidence of the results achieved. Visual storytelling can make a significant difference in capturing and retaining viewers’ attention.
While testimonials and case studies are powerful tools for building trust, it is essential to include clear calls to action in YouTube ads. After viewers are convinced of the credibility and value of the product or service, guide them on the next steps to take. Whether it’s visiting a website, making a purchase, or signing up for a trial, a strong call-to-action ensures that viewers can take immediate action to engage with the brand.
In the world of online marketing, building trust and credibility is crucial to attract and retain customers. Testimonials and case studies in YouTube ads offer a powerful strategy for achieving this goal. By leveraging the power of social proof, authenticity, and storytelling, businesses can connect with their audience on a deeper level and foster trust in their brand.
Testimonials provide real-life experiences from satisfied customers, showcasing the benefits and solutions a product or service offers. Case studies, on the other hand, provide in-depth analyses of successful outcomes, demonstrating expertise and tangible results. Both testimonials and case studies serve as powerful tools to engage viewers, create emotional connections, and validate a brand’s claims.
To maximize the effectiveness of testimonials and case studies in YouTube ads, businesses should carefully select stories that align with their target audience, showcase the diversity, maintain authenticity, incorporate visual elements, and include clear calls to action. By implementing these best practices, businesses can effectively build trust, and credibility, and ultimately drive conversions.
In the age of information overload and growing skepticism, testimonials and case studies provide a way for businesses to cut through the noise and establish themselves as trustworthy and reliable. Embracing this approach in YouTube ads can significantly enhance a brand’s reputation, foster customer loyalty, and drive long-term success. | <urn:uuid:d2bf5068-740a-451b-a0f3-b72260eae6c3> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.getads.co/blog/testimonials-and-case-studies-in-youtube-ads/ | 2023-09-27T10:49:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.92505 | 1,322 |
Seventeen inches of snow tore three panels and collapsed the Teflon roof of the Metrodome before a week 14 matchup in mid-December last season, diverting the two NFC opponents to play each other at Detroit's Ford Field, home of the Lions.
Now, nearly seven months to the day, the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission resurrected the structure on Wednesday morning, inflating the nearly 30-year-old roof in downtown Minneapolis in about 45 minutes.
But, ironically, the Giants won't be seeing it any time soon after playing the Vikings on the road for three straight years.
In fact, New York's schedule doesn't even place them within a thousand miles of the dome during 2011, while not playing the Vikings for the first time since 2006.
In the wake of the storm, Big Blue hightailed it out of Michigan following their 21-3 victory over the Vikings, their first since losing four in a row to the Purple People Eaters (two were in Minneapolis).
Here are some memorable quotes and video from the three-day odyssey that took the Giants from their facility in New Jersey to a diversion in Kansas City for a night, and then to Detroit -- 30 hours later and 690 miles east of their original destination.
Justin Tuck: "All of us are in this, I guess, and it's like re-creating a bad Christmas movie, that's what we've been feeling like."
John Mara: "This one has had more challenges than I can ever remember, because we were stranded in the airport yesterday not knowing where to go or what to do and then we made the call to get everyone out of the airport and into a hotel. We were staying the night and really didn't have any further instructions. Our original plan was to fly into Minnesota this morning and play the game as scheduled, and we were told at some point last night that with the snow on the roof of the dome that it wasn't going to be available until Monday night. Obviously, things have changed quite a bit over the last 24 hours."
Eli Manning: "Earlier today, when we were sitting around trying to figure out where we were going to play, we had a meeting and I made the rookies do a little singing."
The star of the show was Mitch Petrus, a then-rookie guard from Arkansas.
"Mitch, he did a lot freestyling and stuff," Tuck said. "He did a lot of country, mostly freestyling."
"That lightened the mood a little bit with all the players being around each other and just kind of hanging out and having a little fun and taking advantage of this opportunity to do a little team bonding," Manning said. "This is different, but I thought we've kept good spirits and good focus."

In recent years, the Touring Car Racing (TCR) has become Australia's most market-relevant motorsport category, featuring 2.0-liter, turbocharged racing versions of the high-selling 'C Hatch' vehicles. TCR is a global category, with cars competing in over 30 countries. In Australia, the category is sanctioned by the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS) and managed by the Australian Racing Group (ARG).
TCR cars are based on production vehicles, with suspension, brakes, exhaust, and aerodynamic modifications to enhance their performance on the racetrack. The cars are designed to be fast, agile, and exciting to drive, focusing on close, wheel-to-wheel racing. The engines are 2.0-liter turbocharged units, producing up to 350 horsepower, and the cars feature advanced electronic systems to help the drivers get the most out of them.
The TCR Australia championship was launched in 2019 and has quickly become one of the most popular motorsport categories in the country. The first season featured seven rounds at tcr racing tracks across Australia, with a mix of street circuits and permanent tracks. The races were broadcast live on free-to-air television and attracted large crowds at the circuits.
The cars used in TCR Australia are based on the high-selling 'C Hatch' vehicles, which are popular with Australian car buyers. In addition to the 'C Hatch', TCR allows other manufacturers to enter their cars as long as they meet the technical regulations. This makes the category highly relevant to the local market, and has helped to attract support from manufacturers and sponsors.
One of the key features of TCR is the close racing that it is known for. The racing is clean and fair, with a strong emphasis on driver skill and racecraft. The cars are closely matched in performance; meaning drivers are often separated by only a few tenths of a second. This leads to intense battles for position, with drivers jostling for position and trying to find a way past their rivals.
Touring car racing attracts drivers of all ages and backgrounds, from young up-and-coming racers to seasoned veterans. TCR has also become known for its friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The paddock is open to the public, and fans can get up close to the cars and drivers. There is a real sense of community within the TCR paddock, with drivers and teams helping each other out and sharing information.
In addition to the TCR Australia championship, there are also TCR categories in other parts of the world, including Europe, Asia, and North America. This global reach has helped to make TCR one of the most popular motorsport categories in the world.
Overall, TCR is a highly relevant and exciting motorsport category in Australia, featuring fast, agile, and exciting racing cars based on popular production vehicles. The close racing, friendly atmosphere, and relevance to the local market have helped to make TCR one of the most popular categories in the country, and it looks set to continue to grow in popularity in the years to come. | <urn:uuid:64476eea-bb1c-4f82-b53b-315f1aea506f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.gititstore.com/tcr-series | 2023-09-27T11:59:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.968584 | 638 |

SDF Says it Killed Tens of Turkish Troops, Allied Rebels Since Start of Afrin Op
10:37 24.01.2018(updated 12:18 24.01.2018)
After the Turkish General Staff announced on Saturday the launch of the operation in Afrin against the PKK and the YPG on Saturday, the SDF expressed readiness to "defend ourselves and our people."
Reuters cited a senior member of the Syrian Democratic Forces backed by the US as saying that the group had killed tens of Turkish forces and allied FSA rebels since the start of the "Olive Branch" operation, however, failing to provide an exact figure.
According to SDF official Redur Xeli, the Turkish army is greatly exaggerating the number of the YPG and SDF fighters eliminated in its military campaign.
"The whole world knows Daesh is not present in Afrin," Redur Xelil told the news agency.
Turkish and Syrian Kurdish officials and media have provided competing claims over the state of the operation so far, although at least two Turkish soldiers, and several dozen FSA and SDF troops have been killed, according to various reports.
On Monday, the Kurdish-led SDF announced that they are considering sending reinforcements to Afrin amid the Turkish operation there.
Ankara stated that its operation seeks to ensure the security of its borders and "is targeting only terrorists"
, according to Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu. The Turkish side said it had informed Damascus and Moscow, its co-guarantor in the Syrian peace process, of its operation, and has taken into account the position of Tehran, the third guarantor state.
After the Turkish General Staff announced on Saturday the launch of the operation in Afrin against the PKK and the YPG on Saturday, the SDF expressed readiness to "defend ourselves and our people." The campaign, which started with airstrikes to support the Free Syrian Army rebels, has been followed by a ground operation by the Turkish military on Sunday.
Most recently, the Pentagon chief, James Mattis, accused Ankara's ongoing military campaign in the Kurdish enclave of Afrin of hampering what he said was the fight against terrorism. Earlier, US State Secretary Rex Tillerson saying that Washington has been "engaged" with Ankara and asked "both sides" to show restraint, please minimize the impact on civilian casualties.
Ankara has been mulling an operation in Afrin since the US announced plans to build a 30,000-strong Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) security force on Syria's border with Turkey, which President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called a "terrorist army." The force was expected to consist to a great extent of People's Protection Units (YPG) militia, which Turkey classifies as a terrorist group affiliated with its own illegal Kurdish organization, the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which calls for Turkish Kurds' autonomy from Ankara.

I write in multiple genres. This is not remarkable, numerous authors do the same thing. What is different about my writing is that one of my genres is Christian fiction. Those who write Christian books usually don’t venture very far into other genres. At least not as far as science fiction and fantasy. But there are exceptions.
C.S. Lewis is best known for his Christian writings and his classic series “The Chronicles of Narnia”. What is not well known is that he gained great acclaim as a science fiction writer for his “Ransom” trilogy.
In the 1920s Lewis became friends with J.R. Tolkien. Tolkien was known to have bouts of writer’s block that sometimes lasted for great lengths of time. Lewis encouraged and prodded him to get through these times.
It has been suggested that I write only Christian stories as if there is something wrong with writing in other genres. Many times, these same people are the ones who watch zombie movies and whatever Stephen King puts out. This is fine with me, but it makes them look a little two-faced.
There are a lot of science fiction, fantasy, and horror authors out there who are atheists, and it shows in their stories. But my stories are not like that. Though I do not always mention God in my stories I also do not use God’s name in vain either.
The world is not black and white. There are nuances of color everywhere. Though many people think that the Bible explains everything It doesn’t. The universe is vast. There is so much that man has just begun to understand. Things that I might imagine in my science fiction books are nothing compared to what God has created. I think that people as a whole make God to be small. God is bigger than we can imagine. There are billions and billions of stars and planets out there. Who knows what else God has created?
I'm open to comments, good or bad.
When I write a blog, I try to keep it relevant. Often it will be about writing and books. I also review books that I read. | <urn:uuid:f1b87c44-a7d6-40ef-b21a-d3343f359e1f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.gmmartinbooks.com/blog/random-words-part-1 | 2023-09-27T12:17:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.978469 | 456 |

University of Missouri Chancellor Brady Deaton has proposed a prudent course for these hard times in reducing degree offerings. According to the 2008 report of the American Council of Trustees and Alumni, Mizzou had discontinued only four programs while adding 14 new ones. Now, academic program prioritization is more urgent than ever, and the University of Missouri shows us both the obvious tool of termination—sometimes the only valid choice—and the creative one of consolidation.
Departments or groups of colleges can share resources to deliver low-enrollment but important academic majors. It is noteworthy that Missouri would continue to have French and Spanish, merged into a single Romance Language program, while leaders at the State University of New York-Albany, the University of Southern California and Louisiana State have sent theirs to the guillotine. “Join or Die,” Ben Franklin’s famous political cartoon, should become the motto of higher education.

Everything You Need to Know About Using Property Management Contract Templates
Looking for a property management template to use for your business? We’ve got a template ready to be customized for your needs today.Download Template
Many landlords rely on property managers to handle maintenance concerns on their behalf. When making arrangements with these providers, landlords need to feel confident in both the cost and quality of the services. A property management contract provides much-needed peace of mind, ensuring that both the landlord and tenants receive the care and consideration they deserve.
With so many contracts to handle, even the most detail-oriented landlords sometimes neglect property management agreements. If these aren't thorough, all parties involved can be at risk. Therein lies the value of the property management contract template, which provides a useful (and customizable) blueprint for landlords to follow. In this guide, we'll highlight what this template might include and how it can be customized.
What Should a Property Management Contract Include?
The content of a property management contract is largely determined based on the nature of the relationship between the landlord and the property manager. This can encompass the scope of services provided — and whether the manager enters into utility contracts or hires employees on the landlord's behalf. In general, however, a property management contract template should include the following key elements:
- The term of the agreement. This section should mention not only when the agreement goes into effect, but also, when the initial end of the term will arrive. In most cases, this clause will also highlight the possibility of renewal, which, if approved, should occur automatically unless terminated as agreed by both parties.
- Information about contingency reserves. To ensure that maintenance tasks are carried out promptly, property managers may require funding known as contingency reserves. This money is set aside so that property managers can easily handle unexpected costs. Because requirements for these reserves can vary over time, contracts may include information about how such funds can be adjusted following periodic reviews.
- Instructions for financial reports. Property management contracts typically include reporting requirements designed to keep managers accountable. As such, this clause may explain how often agents are to submit reports — and how long the landlord can take before approving them. Some contracts may also mention the owner's right to audit these financial reports. Details such as limits on maintenance expenses may also be mentioned.
- Authority to hire employees. Depending on the scope of maintenance tasks, property managers may need to hire several employees or contractors. The property management agreement authorizes them to do just that, although workers may officially be designated as employees of the landlord.
- Details about compensation. Don't forget to explain how property managers will be paid for their services — and how these payments will be arranged. While many property managers receive monthly compensation, some instead opt for a specific percentage of the monthly receipts.
Best Practices for Using a Property Management Contract Template
Both landlords and property managers can be vulnerable when creating and signing property management agreements. As such, attention to detail is crucial. Be sure to keep these best practices in mind when signing a property management contract template:
- Clarify the relationship between the landlord and the property manager. It should always be evident that the property manager serves as an agent for the landlord, rather than as a partner or as an employee. This explanation should also mention that the agent is not to be held liable for the behavior of the landlord.
- Be transparent about the possibility of termination. Property management contracts can be ended for a variety of reasons. Each contract should explain the circumstances under which termination might occur, as well as instructions for liquidated damages or other forms of compensation payable after the agreement ends.
Next Steps: Signing a Property Management Contract
Signing is the final step in a long process, but this essential task should not be neglected.

Good for Nothing in a Pub met Sunday Assembly #gfninapub #2
So, on a spring-like Tuesday evening a motley crue of soulful doers from London gathered, drank some beer...and did their thing for an ace crew called the Sunday Assembly. It was great to see loads of new faces and a few familiar ones in a sell-out that had folk literally working from the rafters in the Betsey Trotwood pub
This was the chunky challenge (in true GFN style,_ _it got changed 5 mins before we kicked off...)
And this is a scribbled post on what everyone came up with in just 90 mins.
In just the time it takes to watch a game of football, the collective brain power in the room developed some great ideas, had some challenges and donated a big boost of creativity to help Sanderson and the gang take their church without god concept global!
All for nothing...
Next up, please do add to the ideas/thinking and get in touch with Sanderson direct to get more involved in making them happen.
Peace/out and see you next time!
#1: Sunday Assembly Everywhere
The 'expansionists tackled the challenge of how to help people start their own Assembly
They concluded that it was critical to balance the open-ness and control of what is an amazing brand. They challenged SA to be clear on what format needed to be the same, and what values were important to keep consistent everywhere whilst being open and sensitive to different local variations on the theme.
They also suggested that the core proposition needed to be more fully developed as it's very hard to scale up something that is still really being created. Most critically SA need to identify what is 'crucial' to the success of the experience and what the risks are with letting it go.
They looked to 3 other examples who seemed to be finding solutions that balanced the 2 tensions - Alcoholics Anonymous, The Women's Institute and GFN.
Fittingly, given the environment, AA provided a useful analogy where you just need to subscribe to and follow 12 traditions to start up your own group keeping it very simple.
The idea of a toolkit to become a group was developed which needs to be used on a 'trust basis' i.e. if you really want to do it, you are more likely to make it work
The underlying principle for the toolkit is that strong communities 'self-police' and people will speak up if something doesn't feel right so you don't need to spend time or energy 'enforcing' things.
3 core components to making it work with the
follow meeting structure
follow a 'business' structure with 3 members on the 'board - 3 legged stools don't wobble (apparently)
follow the core values e.g. positivity, making things better and not negative or poking fun at other religions
The idea of a buddy system was suggested where a new group signs-up and gets a buddy from an existing group who helps them and can chat / Skype pre and post meetings.
The idea of a democratic rolling governance structure was put forward that acts much more like a movement, and people rotate their involvement with an annual conference that anyone can attend from anywhere - like a 'Synod' where each group elects 1-2 reps to discuss policy and direction
The carrot is the brand being created - share the idea, publicity and awareness and use the logo, colours. But in return people to need to follow a common way of thinking and doing.
The final point made was that overall the carrot needed to be greater than the stick and if people don't want to follow some simple guidelines, then they can do something themselves but not use the site or the logo for their own version.
The team apparently started by doing a SWOT (!) and quickly felt challenged by the "aetheist church" descriptor currently used by Sunday Assembly.
On the plus side, it's descriptive, direct and disruptive but on the downside, it comes with lots of baggage, is easily misunderstood (relative to the actual experience) and divisive. With 'church' making it feel overtly 'Christian'.
Their first conclusion was to get rid of it -> "exorcise it" as it holds back people from coming who would enjoy it but would never come to something labelled like this.
The second area they tackled was the other elements of the brand - the words, the graphics and so on,
Not holding back, they again felt the current approach didn't properly represent the actual experience - feeling 'academic, liberal elite, vintage and small' instead of funny, joyous, inspirational, thoughtful, exuberant and all the other great values that SA has going for it.
From a web point of view, they recommended taking the site forward as more of a platform for ideas and action and not just a portal for 'information'.
In terms of PR (which is currently not really a problem), they suggested building on the momentum and using it as a tool to put more goodness into the world. Ultimately as important as what goes on inside the 'church'.
They played with ideas around 'random acts of kindness' where SA goers help out local communities in different ways be it signing in the square, volunteering at soup kitchens and a whole stack of other relevant local ways to help out
The content opportunity using video of Pippa and Sanderson as a 'channel' to spread the word was highlighted - easy to do, portable and shareable. Doing Assembly podcasts and spreading via social networks rather than complex bespoke apps.
And the need to find and engage a wider blogger community who are engaged around these sorts of new ideas to get the word out to more potential assembly groups and goers.
#3. Sustaining Sunday Assembly (in London)
This team explored mechanisms for ensuring its long term sustainability and in particular the effect on the local community.
Their basic assumption was that folks want to do some good outside of just coming to the Assembly which means we need a find a list of things for people to help out and do, and a way of finding people who can offer skills to do them.
They suggested asking the community on what it wanted to do as a startpoint - online surveys, offline voting e.g. like Waitrose tokens at end of Assembly.
And the idea of themes for each month - with 1 big thing for everyone to help with, and lots of small random things for individuals to give in a small way.
And an online and physical noticeboard for opportunities to support local communities as the basic approach to do that.
So for example find a problem....like 'helping vulnerable people in the community' and offer skill-sharing directly after a Sunday Assembly when the momentum and energy is high and people are already all together.
Volunteering is more complex, it needs CRB checks, funding, organisation and admin but skills sharing is easier so create a simple Skill Exchange -on and offline.
e.g. a tech afternoon with 2/3 groups running session ranging from how to use Word or send an e-mail through to more advanced stuff like photoshop and even basic coding!
#4. Impacts and Indicators
Team 'data geek' explored ways to use data to track, measure and communicate the Sunday Assembly effect including impact on increasing 'happiness'.
- They looked at a range of dimensions for indicators to explore the impacts and effect that SA has on people.
_Happiness _- based on how you've helped someone
Attendance - based on how many times you've attended
Participation - signing up to speak, sharing skills etc
_Positivity _- living better
Promotion -telling other people
They looked at instagram/hashtags/geotag but concluded that it's far better to forget about getting people to play around digitally in church as it's more about getting involved, having fun and meeting other people (rather than staring at your gadget screen!).
Instead they suggested a more 'lo-fi' manual and visual way of recording data. Stick a big map of the local area up in the venue and mark with a red cross somewhere where you've helped someone this week...
And ideas that capture data e.g. a simple digital tool for a tablet that you fill in as you come in and out of the venue - have you been before, and will you come again?
A big theme emerged that was how to get data without asking intrusive questions so they explored 'proxies' - things like re-attendance and how many friends you've made that you can stick up on a physical noticeboard in the venue - make it easy for people to see in the space and interact with each other.
Creating a 'collection' but for virtual currency based on good deeds, and then vote where money goes for good deeds - a local, then global reallocation of wealth (er, yeah!).
The next phase could be the development of a Sunday Assembly app that demoes local impacts, shares local networks and experiments/experience and links into existing social networks like FB.
#5. Kickstarting Sunday Assembly
Team Kickstarter looked at how SA might launch a Kickstarter campaign to generate awareness and raise funds to help expand. Overall they had more questions than answers but outlined how SA might best approach this....
1. What's the cash for?
Products/experiences e.g. manual/handout
Tiered level of interest/contribution e.g. T-shirts, song-sheets, other merchandise
Research/expansion e.g. to develop SA further and share story of where going
Alternative 'bible' - talks, memories, even a 'Tablet'?
The big question is whether we need money for specific things or just want to make SA a cool thing to be involved in...?
2. Who's the audience?
Folks who want to do good, be positive, meet others and help out - but still not hugely clear on who we want to reach and what will motivate them - need to explore this more.
_3. Best channels to reach them?
Create an online tool to vote on which products SA should develop as first step.
Use videos, social web to focus around city/country to start SA in your area.
4. What do I get as a funder?
_This was challenging - not sure it was appropriate to use Kickstarter in this way for SA at the moment as it's not clear yet what it's 'funding'.
_5. What might be the incentives to give cash?
Tangible things are most persuasive - but for this socially positive group, need to understand better what might get them keen on supporting SA.
In general around fundraising, what is clear is that the emotion levels generated are far greater at the end of the assembly than the beginning. The team challenged themselves on how to open up funding to more people.
So they suggested they could take away the monetary side and drop it lower level e.g. could create an ask for £1 only if the Assembly made someone happy at the end - if you want to give more e.g. £5 or £10 then point people towards the Kickstarter.
Other ideas where how to create a 'virtual organisation' that people can fund different parts of if they wanted e.g. admin, food/drink etc.

Book Blurbs is a segment on the blog where I list books I’m reading along with a brief blurb about each book. The aim is to help you identify new authors and potential books of interest. Maybe I didn’t read every word of every page, but I read enough to mention them. I don’t list every book I read. You can find some of the books I read in September-December of 2021 below. You can find all the Book Blurbs posts here.
For this edition of Book Blurbs, you’ll notice some overlap with My Top 10 Books of 2021.
1. .You Are What You Love: The Spiritual Power of Habit by James K. A. Smith
Wow. Every once in a while I’ll read a book by an author and think, “This person is such a good writer.” Or, “I’ll never be able to write this good.” Such were the thoughts that entered my mind as I read this well-received book by James K.A. (A.K.A. “Jamie”) Smith. It’s a book about the role of the heart in Christian discipleship. I’m glad Smith teaches that the local church is the heart of Christian discipleship because that’s true.
2. On the Road with Saint Augustine: A Real-World Spirituality for Restless Hearts by James K. A. Smith
I need to finish this one, but I read the chapter on ambition twice. Smith pulls no punches and, of course, neither does Augustine. If you like Augustine and want to know how Augustine’s theology is applicable in the Christian life, this is a book to consider.
3. The Unspoken Rules: Secrets to Starting Your Career Off Right by Gorick NG
I heard Cal Newport talk about this book on his podcast. Intrigued, I decided to buy it. I’m glad I did. I now see why Newport gives this volume a great review. Although some of the content in this book is not transferable to pastoral ministry, there is a lot of great advice on working with people. If you are starting a new job or career, this may be a useful book for you to consider.
Allow me to present a strong endorsement: If you are just about to start a new job or career, you should get this book. It’s so, so helpful.
4. Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman
Sold out on Amazon quickly. Was glad to have purchased a copy before it sold out again. The writing is excellent, although this book is more of a theory of time management, rather than tips and tricks on how to more effectively manage your time.
5. How to Build a Healthy Church: A Practical Guide for Deliberate Leadership by Mark Dever and Paul Alexander
I don’t agree with every sentence in this book, but I appreciate the comprehensiveness of this volume. This is a church leadership book that informs the reader how the application of church ministry is done at Capitol Hill Baptist Church in D.C. So if you want to know how Mark Dever and the guys there do church, this is the book for you. It is difficult to think of an aspect of church life in which the authors do not cover. I’m grateful for 9 Marks and I hope to continue to learn from the resources they put out.
6. Gospel-Driven Ministry: An Introduction to the Calling and Work of a Pastor by Jared C. Wilson
Wilson and I have different temperaments, so it’s helpful for me to learn and be rebuked by guys who are wired differently. Lots of skillful sentences in this volume. Pastors who read it will feel seen and heard. Wilson gets it: pastoring is hard, but there is grace and joy available through Jesus. All things considered, I’m glad I read it, even without me seeing eye-to-eye on every jot and tittle.
As I mentioned in my post 5 Christian Books on Thankfulness and Gratitude, I preached the Thanksgiving Eve sermon at our church for the third year in a row. As a result, I wanted to read a book on thankfulness to prepare my heart. I choose this one. I enjoyed it: simple, biblical, practical, and worshipful. I’m becoming more and more convinced that thankfulness is one of the most important disciplines in the Christian life.
8. Rediscover Church: Why the Body of Christ Is Essential by Collin Hansen and Jonathan Leeman
A good primer on the local church from two sharp thinkers. This is a good book to hand out to church members who want to understand the importance of the local church.
9. Your Best Year Ever: A 5-Step Plan for Achieving Your Most Important Goals by Michael Hyatt
This is the best material on goal-setting I’ve seen (Fun fact: I was on the book launch team to help promote this volume). I read it for the book launch team, but just recently re-read it on Kindle. Once again, I left inspired to set big goals for myself.
Goal-setting is powerful. The way I see it, your calling determines your goals, and your goals determine your tasks. Calling, goals, and tasks are interconnected. Having goals gives you something to aim for, determines what you should do, and provides a guide to see if you are drifting or moving in the right direction.
10. Reset: Living a Grace-Paced Life in a Burnout Culture by David Murray
This book is tailored toward men (But Murray’s wife, Shona, has written a similar book for women entitled Refresh: Embracing a Grace-Paced Life in a World of Endless Demands.) I recommend this book at the end of the year because it will help you reset, recover, and practice better self-care. It will make you more aware of the areas of your life where you are going too fast and need to slow down. | <urn:uuid:c38468e2-76e3-477a-8904-231a79d2385e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.gospelrelevance.com/2021/12/28/book-blurbs-september-december-2021/ | 2023-09-27T10:48:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.948811 | 1,272 |

The searing Friday sun in the second week of July had disappeared into darkness when I reached Sadiqabad (old name of Hazratbal) market, where the vegetable vendor offered three choices - cucumber, cabbage, or cauliflower. I settled on the second choice.
Barely half an hour later, I was busy preparing dinner and washing my laundry when a friend phoned. I decided to hit the hay earlier that night.
Since my phone was on silent mode, I missed his calls. He had texted that our exams might be postponed. His speculation proved prophetic.
At the crack of the dawn, I was squirming with pain because my stomach was upset. Nausea added discomfort and vomiting unnerved me. I could not ask for help (in incommunicado times) since there was no other tenant in our rented accommodation. Epistaxis (nose-bleeding) added insult to the injury.
After meeting nomadic treatment at Primary Health Centre (PHC), block Hazratbal, I could not find anything to eat for the next 24 hours due to downed shutters. With clinical confidence, I decided to conceive the daunting idea of traveling to Baramulla on foot.
146 fortnights ago, the marathon began in the wee hours of July 10 from Zain-ul-Abidin Badshah Gate of the University of Kashmir. As I moved past the deserted campus, a pack of canines, busy howling and perhaps searching for the carcass on the heap of garbage outside the famous school at Lal-Bazar, was the first bottleneck in this joyless journey.
The foul smell kept pedestrians away from walkways. Surprisingly, the dog menace is bleeding residents on Srinagar streets even in 2022. The city has literally gone to the dogs and SMC does not bat an eyelash. It is waiting for Godot’s magic wand in the not-so-smart city.
In the meantime, I reached Molvi stop. Only a few joggers were visible on the roads. A private vehicle stopped and waved to get in. Without asking for his credentials, I boarded the car and alighted at Noorbagh.
God bless the kind soul. Extending a helping hand to the unknown unconditionally generates a sense of satisfaction. That blissful feeling.
With a heavy backpack, I was dog-tired but I walked my own race albeit at a snail’s pace. Walking alone is difficult but it makes one stronger. It is true that a thousand-mile journey always starts with the first step but we should never walk aimlessly in life.
We must set our goals and walk to achieve them. We learn to defeat the odds en route only when we come out of our comfort zone. Generally, children born with a silver spoon in their mouth, don’t know how to create their own niche or walk the uncharted territory.
So, what happened on the other side of the (under-construction for a decade) world-famous Noorbagh bridge? At Qamarwari, auto drivers tried to fleece me. They resort to exorbitant fares sans accountability from the concerned department.
They overcharge simpleton villagers, particularly first-timers in Srinagar. Why would a student (or anyone) pay 500 hard-earned bucks to reach Bemina Byepass? I was not surprised since I have seen prices of commodities skyrocket in the blessed month of Ramzan in Muslim-dominated Kashmir.
Ten minutes later, I was a pillion rider on a scooter of another Ajnabi. I reached Shalteng and cluelessly ran zigzagging my way across narrow alleys and link roads. After treading treacherous tracks, I faked confidence and continued the march to Varmul.
I walked a long distance only to reach Narbal. A lorry full of wooden logs came to a screeching halt. The driver asked to sit on the top of it. I swallowed the inconvenience till it reached Mirgund.
A few hundred meters ahead, a posse of a joint patrol party quizzed. I got blank for a moment but I managed to walk the talk. I unzipped my bag and pulled out my saviour- student ID proof issued by the Department of Students Welfare of my varsity. O.P.D ticket, issued by the above-mentioned PHC a day before, was an extra protective layer I wore. I was scanned from top to toe and then asked to go.
Bathed in sweat, I battled to find my way via alien terrains. A visibly panic-stricken lady craned her neck through the window and directed a relatively safer passage. I quickened my pace but my heart was hammering. The marathon speed forced me to take a hummingbird’s 300 breaths per minute.
The ‘endangered’ horse-cart (Tanga) had hit the streets after a long lull. From Hanjiwera to Pattan, this Tanga ride was a little relief but it could not take the sole ‘passenger’ beyond its destination- the main market Pattan.
Trekking the arduous trek, crisscrossing between side streets, I faked bravado. The local Muezzin pitched to call for Midday (Zuhr) prayers. I was relieved and relaxed after half an hour of staying inside the Masjid. The heavenly feeling calmed my nerves.
Soon after, I decided to knock on the door of my distant relative so that I could recharge my belly since rats were jumping in my stomach.
When I narrated the ordeal of “terrible travelogue”, they offered me a hearty meal. Muscle spasms annoyed. I was left with Hobson’s choice but to walk home in bad times. Later at Asr, exhaustion evaporated as I was offered my favorite Nunchai.
I was on the road again but not up in arms. On this risky journey, luckily, a biker stopped in a filmy style. A loud creak and a cloud of dust billowed in the air. After skirting empty roads, dotted with potholes, I was halfway home.
Near Hamrey, I joined a couple from frontier district Kupwara. Done with half-hearted introductions, we were walking like three ‘zombies’ since we could never be musketeers. Inching home, a twist soured the already gloomy mood.
Rowdy stone throwers, waving sticks, interrupted and “ordered” not to proceed ahead till further directions. The ugly stares and awkward glances of these school boys made the trio extremely uncomfortable.
Two of them passed lewd remarks when they asked the lady not to listen to a Hindi film song on her phone. It enraged her husband. A minor scuffle generated a noisy debate on moral policing and mannerism on the dusty road. When the government’s long arm fails to maintain law and order, fringe elements take the centre stage.
I was upset but God answers your prayers when you expect it the least. On the last leg of my journey, the driver of the Sonalika tractor, another benevolent soul, hurriedly asked where I was heading. I came up with what you call “elevator pitch” in journalism.
Street blues continued. Finally, I was dancing on the tractor trolly, nearer my village. With the help of hitch-hiking from complete strangers, the day marked by tears & tension came to an end.
The almost impassable route, in the unforgiving times, was a walk (not) to remember. Since I document stories, how could I forget to ink the important itinerary?
I knocked at the main door of my home at 10:00 pm. Turned toward the starless sky, and thanked the creator for the boundless blessings & helping me survive the unthinkable.
I gulped a tumbler full of lukewarm water and retired to bed, begging sleep to come but insomnia overpowered me. Recalling the horror of the day gone by, I tossed and turned & tried to give a decent burial to the memory of July 10.
Finally, my eyelids embraced each other only to depart the next morning in a sleepy hamlet far from the sanctum sanctorum (Dargah) Hazratbal.

22nd Street Landing Seafood Grill & Bar
22nd St. Landing Seafood Grill and Bar was built in 1989 and opened for business on June 5, 1990. It is owned and operated by Dick Mannila, a Vietnam veteran who is medically retired from the Marine Corp. Dick previously built restaurants around the nation as a partner in Borel Restaurant Corporation, which eventually grew to 31 restaurants doing business as The Rusty Scupper, Borel’s and Nightwatch. The restaurants were sold to Nestle Food Company in 1978. The property where 22nd St. Landing Seafood Grill & Bar is situated was formerly leased by World War II hero Frank Hall, who served as a bomber pilot flying B-17’s over Germany. He was shot down three times and miraculously escaped from the Germans each time. After the war, Frank ran a fishing boat called Sharpshooter and in 1963 he bought the original Skipper’s 22nd Street Landing, which was founded in 1938. He operated Skipper’s out of two trailers next to a fast-food stand called Googie’s. Both businesses shared a common dirt parking lot and were very successful in spite of the simple setting. | <urn:uuid:7d18ac22-a094-4b61-ac25-d520d6b9819c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.greatofficiants.com/find-a-great-officiant-or-minister-in-san-pedro/ | 2023-09-27T11:00:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.967223 | 458 |
Disciple Bible Study has changed lives. The 34-week study has been credited by many people over the years with helping them at least start down the path of fulfilling the United Methodist Church’s mission statement of making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. In fact, more than 3 million people have participated since Disciple's inception in 1987.
But at 34 weeks in length and with classes of 2½ hours each week, fewer and fewer people seemed to find the time to take part in such a study.
The developers of Disciple I, which provides an in-depth survey of the entire Bible, are attempting to address that issue with Disciple Fast Track: Bible Study for Busy Lives. This 21st century version of the popular study condenses the coursework from 34 weeks to 24 and each class period from approximately 150 minutes to 75.
“When Disciple first came out, there were three TV stations, no Internet and few club sports teams,” said Susan Wilke Fuquay, developer of the Disciple Fast Track study. She is the daughter of United Methodist Bishop Richard Wilke, who created the original Disciple Bible study with his wife, Julia.
Wilke Fuquay said she once attended a church in North Carolina that provided a children’s program for about 90 minutes each week.
“Parents were dropping their kids off like crazy,” she said. “I started thinking about what we could do to develop a Bible study like Disciple that would fit into that kind of time period.”
The hope was to get parents such as these involved in a Bible study.
The result was Disciple Fast Track, which is in the beta testing mode. Churches can sign up to take part in the new version of Disciple by designating at least one person to take the "beta 2" leader online training course. The cost might seem steep for some people at first at about $212. But the fee includes the new leader’s guide, DVDs with 48 videos for the class, flash cards used for reviews, online training and the opportunity for leaders to chat online with others leading groups through the course.
Wilke Fuquay said the condensed version of Disciple provides greater flexibility for congregations. She cited several examples in which churches taught the class to as few as 12 people and as many as more than 120. The larger-scale groups require table leaders to facilitate small-group discussions. Some churches teach it during Sunday school time. Others teach it in the evenings. Yet others teach it from noon to 1:15 p.m. one day a week.
“I discovered a lot of people can take a long lunch one day a week,” she said.
Participants can expect to embark on a journey through the Scriptures in the Fast Track version just as they would if they were to take the established Disciple I course. The new version includes 12 lessons from the Old Testament and 12 lessons from the New Testament. Lessons that were combined don’t mean there is a doubling up on reading assignments in some weeks. In those cases, Scriptures that keep the Biblical narrative moving forward are still read and discussed while secondary stories are omitted from the reading list for that week.
Students use the same book as the established Disciple I course with instructions each week from the leader about reading assignments.
Bishop Scott J. Jones of the Great Plains Conference endorses Disciple Bible study as a means of growing in the faith of Jesus Christ.
“I believe that every Christian should be in worship every week, and belong to two small groups — one where he or she is spiritually fed. Disciple Bible Study, in all its forms, is one of the best small-group formats I know,” Bishop Jones said. “I have taught Disciple I nine times and Christian Believer two times. I have seen people come to a deeper faith in Christ and get more active in Christian service. People have discovered spiritual gifts and become much better acquainted with the Bible and the Christian faith. It is life-changing!”
Wilke Fuquay said one of the benefits of Disciple Bible Study is that people start out wanting to learn about the Bible and find along the journey that they grow spiritually. In the full Disciple I course, the final session includes participants sharing the spiritual gifts that they see in their classmates. Disciple Fast Track features an online spiritual gifts inventory that participants take, and the class then gets the opportunity to discuss and affirm those gifts.
Wilke Fuquay said the first round of beta testing showed overwhelmingly that the 24-week approach makes a positive influence on the participants. Bishop Jones said he has found that to be true as well.
“More recently, my new neighbors completed Disciple Fast Track at their United Methodist church, and it was clear that their group of young adult friends were brought closer together because of the experience,” Bishop Jones said.
Wilke Fuquay said people who go through the training to be a beta 2 leader will receive the finished product once it publishes, perhaps as early as next year, at no additional cost. That makes the investment of time and money worthwhile as churches use Disciple Fast Track to create or strengthen a culture of discipleship. She said in her experience, the people who take Disciple Fast Track become the next class for Disciple II or other Bible study – small groups that help churches fulfill their missions within their churches, communities and the world.
Bishop Jones said the Christian faith is partially about building that sense of community among people and that churches in the Great Plains and beyond should offer different small-group options as a means of helping build strong communities of faith.
“A healthy church should offer many different types of small groups, and the format, style, frequency and content should be different to reach different types of people,” Bishop Jones said.

A multimillion-pound upgrade to the Hope Valley railway line between Sheffield and Manchester has been announced by the government. The £137m scheme to "design and deliver" the improvements was revealed in the House of Commons.
In October 2019 Sheffield City Region mayor Dan Jarvis demanded an urgent government meeting when it emerged the work would not begin until 2023. Now he says the service will bring a "significant boost" to the region.
Andrew Stephenson, the Minister of State at the Department for Transport said the money would be used to "design and deliver the upgrade to the Hope Valley line between Sheffield and Manchester".
Dan Jarvis said the announcement had come after three years of lobbying and efforts to improve poor service on the line. He said: "This is a significant boost for our region. I'm pleased that our persistence has paid off, and that ministers have finally listened to our calls to deliver long-awaited investment in this critical line between Sheffield and Manchester."
The upgrade to the line - which connects 4.2 million people between Sheffield and Greater Manchester - aims to reduce delays, improve reliability of trains and add a third direct train per hour.
Mr Jarvis said: "It's overdue but welcome progress, however we need the government to go much further if they are to level up South Yorkshire and the north." | <urn:uuid:5d267ab3-8d34-457f-a15b-e1d4703b2665> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.greatwesternstar.com/post/where-there-s-hope | 2023-09-27T12:45:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.971431 | 265 |
I grew up in a bicultural family mixing European and Asian lifestyles. I was early fascinated by mountains and mountainous environments represented a wonderful playground at first. Spending time in nature made me realise how beautiful it is, but also how sensitive it is to external pressures. I had the chance to explore this environmental issue during my PhD project at Grenoble University. Based on lake sediments, I studied erosion patterns with a special attention to extreme climatic events such as floods, avalanches or landslides occurring in a changing climate and with increasing human pressures.
Before joining GRID-Arendal, I had the opportunity to work for the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) on a storm surge forecasting project. Later on, I had the opportunity to work for the Earth Focus Foundation in Switzerland on sustainable development issues, and for the Foundation for Microprojects in Vietnam (FMV) aiming at supporting rural areas in economic development. Those experiences increased my understand of environmental issues in different regions of the world, and the many ways to improve them.
At GRID-Arendal, I am involved in various exciting projects concerning high mountains and arctic environments with the aim to turn scientific material into accessible communication products for the public and policy makers. I work on topics such as biodiversity conservation, plastic waste in the mountains and environmental policy. | <urn:uuid:01106d59-5eee-4a5d-a51e-85a5bbb335ba> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.grida.no/staff/100 | 2023-09-27T12:39:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.958086 | 268 |

The Hotel Review: Wordsworth Hotel and Spa
Review: Nichola Hirst
The Wordsworth Hotel and Spa is set in the beautiful village of Grasmere in the Lake District. The cosy country hotel has 38 individually designed bedrooms which include a selection of grand suites and some rooms are dog-friendly, as after all, this is a scenic spot for keen walkers, pooches included. Wordsworth boosts the award-winning restaurant, Signature, and there is also a newly appointed spa.
When we arrived at the hotel, we were greeted by a friendly receptionist who explained all the needed info for our stay. We were staying in a Garden View Room, which as the name suggests, came with lush garden views of the grounds. The room was decked out in plush furnishings in chocolate and muted hues and included all the facilities needed including tea and coffee making facilities with Grasmere Gingerbread. The bathroom added a touch of luxury with our favourite Temple Spa toiletries, fluffy bath robes and slippers.
If you as anyone who knows me, they will tell you I cannot visit any hotel without trying the Afternoon Tea – it is by far my favourite dinning choice, so when I discovered Wordsworth Hotel have an option of Thai Inspired afternoon tea, I was in my element. This was an Asian feast of savoury bites including Thai Green Fishcakes, Vegetable Spring Rolls, Tempura Prawns, Calamari Rings, and Aromatic Thai Style Dipping Sauce. Mini desserts followed in the shape of Warm Mango Scones with Lemon Curd, Chantilly Cream & Butter, Lemongrass & Coconut Pannacotta, Tropical Fruit Macaroons, Banana & Sesame Fritters, and Pandan Scented Sticky Rice.
When we had taken some time to digest for the rest of the afternoon, it was time for the next culinary treat. Dinner. We headed to the Signature restaurant; a cosy dining room with a full glass wall looking on to Grasmere village. The tables were set fine dining white cloths and atmospheric flickering candles. As we were staying for two nights at the hotel, we dinned from Signature menu on our first night and enjoyed a meal from the Dove Bistro menu on the second night, both menus offered a selection to please foodie lovers and we enjoyed the following;
Starter – Walnut Crusted Burland Bloom Golden Brie, Dried & Pickled Apple, Celery Jelly, Spiced Walnuts

Fire guards and Fire monitors are an important addition to any fireplace. Obtainable in a number of shapes, colours and measurements, you can find guards to suit every style and pocket. This informative article can discuss the different types of guards available, their history and their used in today’s home. The principal purpose of a fire guard is to protect a room and it’s occupants from the heat and possible embers which are produced by an open fire. Historically fire screens were easy level cells which offered an objective but soon became a decorative little bit of furniture.
Dating back as early whilst the 17th century most fire screens were wooden with ornamental material or needlework, currently material wasn’t applied because of the number of heat it generated. Around the middle of the 19th century the popularity of applying ranges to hot a room in place of start fires made the guard more of a pretty piece of furniture than a of good use one.
However, several home still utilised small open fires and so they really kept an important piece of furniture for all homes. Towards the conclusion of the 19th century great start fires regained some recognition and fire guards were manufactured from cause covered and stained glass, used together with steel or metal frames. This type of design remains widely used today. Additionally there are some great examples of contemporary and modern fire guards which are easy and glossy in design.
There are numerous different safety procedures for construction sites. Fire guards help drive back fires on structure sites. Diminishing protection criteria on any structure website can produce lasting harm to the structure, but also to individuals building the project. This is the reason difficult hats and metal toed shoes are becoming typical wear for structure workers, offering security for the brains and feet of the people who work in dangerous situations every day.
There are lots of different methods for offering protection to structure workers and the protection of the incomplete developing design especially in large towns and on large projects. Ignoring medical and security regulations makes little feeling when considered in conjunction with the possible fines and problems that ignoring the rules and rules may cause.
For acquiring an organization it’s insufficient to just have a number of fire extinguishers. Many individuals applied to forget to keep up their security previously, and later they discovered the hard way the necessity of the items. They have to be maintained often in order that they stay functional if they want it the most. That is essential when you need to protected living, in addition to property. But, a fire extinguisher alone is bad enough to safeguard against Fire Watch Guards.
Several a situations folks have thought, “imagine if?”, if they’d the precise gear then they’d have fought straight back the fire themselves. They might have saved their persons, and the injury to their property. It’s true, when you yourself have the right resources, you then can have the energy to fight back a harsh fire in your own.
Passive Fire Security plays a powerful role in the fight against fire. There are numerous instruments available which makes flammable material significantly tougher to burn up, offering additional time for you to individuals to move away from a disaster. Also, might be also battle down the origin of the fire themselves. When persons had such instruments within their fingers, then they’ve been able to defend against great disasters independently, without the assistance of specialists.
Sure, they certainly were lucky, and it is much better to hold back for professionals to accomplish their job. Having a chance of your personal living is not a good idea. Just take into account the people that are banking for you for a living. Family issues the most, and you have to consider them first. When you have your personal organization, then you definitely have to help make the proper programs from ab muscles beginning to guard your assets. Like they claim, a stitch in time – saves nine. That is true when you have the right glasses set up, defending you in addition to your business kind a disaster.
One regulation in New York makes for the placement of a fire guard on every structure website that will not have an working fire elimination and warning system. Fire guards are qualified and qualified by the fire team, not only any person may be used off the road for this crucial job. Fire guards are accountable for making sure that all fire security techniques are used, the fire office is notified in the case of a fire and that the construction site is informed and cleared fully to prevent the increasing loss of life.
Shoots can be quite costly and destroy possibly an incredible number of pounds of house in a few momemts, but losing lives in a dangerous fashion is not something that any specific or company wants to have happen. If a fire happens, the fire guard is supposed to keep beyond your building and reduce different individuals from entering, but primary the fire office to the precise location of the fire.
Obtainable in a variety of glass, steel and cord mesh, today’s fireguards make a lovely improvement to any fireplace, turning what’s essentially a whole in the wall into a decorative feature. | <urn:uuid:2195c3f9-3308-4fe8-9b58-992602bce097> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.growninherts.com/the-advantages-of-having-an-start-fire-in-the-home/ | 2023-09-27T12:04:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.964198 | 1,039 |
Original post The Hidden Problems With Many Dog Bones and Chewsby Dr. Karen Shaw Becker on Healthy Pets
Dogs are natural chewers, and among their very favorite things to chew are bones
Dogs find chewing spectacularly satisfying; chewing also alleviates boredom and stress, cleans teeth, exercises jaw muscles and can help your dog learn to spend time alone
There are many types of dog chews on the market, including pig ears, tendon chews, pizzles, and fully edible chews; two types I never recommend are rawhide and synthetic chews
Raw recreational bones also make excellent chews for many (but not all) dogs; it’s important to know what kind of chewer your dog is so you can select appropriate types of bones (or no bones at all, depending)
To feed any type of chew safely always follow commonsense precautions, and especially when offering recreational bones
Newsflash: Dogs love to chew bones! Okay, that’s not really a newsflash for all you dog-inclusive families out there. The fact is chewing is a favorite pastime of the species Canis lupus familiaris. Even dogs with few or no teeth, given the opportunity, will at least try to gnaw on a bone. It’s the nature of canines to explore their environment with their mouths, pick up objects to see how they feel and taste, and decide whether they might be chew-worthy.
Three Big Reasons Dogs Chew
It’s doggone satisfying! — “I sit watching one of my dogs chewing on a raw beef shank bone and wonder at how blissful the experience seems to be for him,” writes dog behavior expert Dr. Stanley Coren. “There appears to be no better canine sedative than a bone to gnaw on.”1
It’s a boredom and stress buster — Boredom and stress or anxiety are often triggers for humans who bite their nails. It can be an unconscious response you don’t even notice until it’s too late to save your manicure. For dogs, chewing on anything available can serve a similar purpose. Dogs who are chronically under stimulated physically or mentally are likely to do more chewing than their well-exercised counterparts.
It’s good for teeth, gums, and jaw muscles — Adult dogs chew to brush and floss their teeth, massage their gums, and work their powerful jaw muscles. Puppies and young dogs who are still teething often chew to relieve itching or pain.
Why It’s Beneficial to Encourage Appropriate Chewing
Learning to chew the right things helps prevent your dog from chewing the wrong things. Since puppies and dogs are hard-wired to chew and will do so with or without your permission, the best way to preserve your own possessions (and your sanity) is to ensure your canine family member has plenty of his own approved items to chew.
In addition, “chew projects” can help your dog learn to spend time alone. Puppies and adult dogs who are regularly given a private spot and plenty of time to chew on a food-stuffed toy or raw, meaty bone learn to spend time alone, which makes them much less likely to develop separation anxiety.
Raw bones are a great way to speed along the crate training process, especially if your dog is stressed about spending time in the crate with the door closed. Since I always recommend that you supervise your dog whenever he’s chewing on a raw recreational bone, it’s important to offer only food-stuffed or treat-release toys when you leave him home alone.
Types of Dog Chews
Rawhide chews — Let’s start with the oldest chew on the market, the rawhide. A more accurate name would be processed-hide because the skin isn’t raw at all.
These are among my least-favorite chews for dogs. Not only are they high in calories, but they're often found on lists of pet poisons and have other problems as well. To learn more about the dark side of rawhide manufacturing, watch this video describing the grisly process:
Pig ears — Pig ears are very popular dog chews, but my concern about them and ears from any mass-produced food animal, is that the ears are a very common location for hormone implants.
If this is the case with the ears you’re buying, your dog is consuming an abnormally high amount of concentrated hormone residues, which over time can be detrimental to her health. If you’re able to find ears from free-range, organically raised animals, then obviously you can avoid the problem.
Pizzles, snouts, chicken feet and rabbit ears — Dehydrated body parts have become incredibly popular as chews, including pizzles (which are penises, in case you were wondering), pig snouts, chicken feet and rabbit ears. All small body parts can be a choking risk for most dogs, so close supervision is necessary. I clamp one end of small chews with vice grip pliers to assure my dogs won’t attempt to swallow them whole.
Tendon chews — These chews come in varying lengths and densities, and many dogs love them. Like rawhides, tendon chews can become very soft and pliable as your dog works on them. Because they are ropey, and some are very small, long, and thin, they present a significant choking risk for most dogs.
These chews come from a variety of different animal sources, but the small ones are risky for even the tiniest dog. I recommend buying very long chews and when you can no longer see it sticking out two inches on either side of your dog’s mouth, clamp vice grips onto the remaining small piece or throw it out.
I also recommend buying tendon chews from independent pet shops, if possible, that have good product turnover and transparent sourcing. They should be labeled as to their origin and any preservatives added.
Fully edible chews — Some of the newer chews on the market don’t contain any animal parts at all. The healthy options are made with milk, cheese, human grade tapioca or potatoes (or compressed vegetables).
These are an excellent choice for pets who’ve had dental work, have tender mouths, or are scarfers (dogs whose primary objective isn't to chew, but to get the item into their stomach as soon as possible). These chews are designed to be consumed in their entirety.
If you’re trying to train your dog not to scarf, you can slow his roll by holding the chew by one end while he works on the other end. And if a small piece is chewed off, there’s no danger if your dog swallows it. I don’t recommend offering these chews to scarfers without someone holding the opposite end, because they will attempt to swallow them whole, which is obviously a choking and gastrointestinal (GI) blockage hazard.
Some of the edible dental bones on the market contain questionable ingredients. They’re typically sold in most big box stores. Read the labels on these chews very carefully.
Himalayan chews are made from yak milk (a cheese) that has been sun-dried to make it very hard. This is one of the more unique chews available on the market today and it can be a good option for dogs who can’t eat certain types of protein. There are also several other edible bones that are vegetable-based and appropriate for animals with sensitive stomachs.
Synthetic chews — There are a variety of synthetic chews made of nylon or flavored plastic that you’ll find in most big box stores. I’m not a fan of nylon or plastic chews. Common sense tells us that feeding synthetic materials to your dog isn’t the healthiest option available!
Most of these chews are manufactured in other countries and despite contacting these companies repeatedly, none of them will provide third party contaminant testing or results of chemical analyses. Because there are so many natural chews and bones available, there’s really no reason to go with a synthetic product.
Raw Recreational Bones
When you’re at home with your dog and able to closely supervise her, a raw recreational bone is hands-down the healthiest, most natural way to satisfy her drive to chew, and reduce plaque and tartar (more than an 85% reduction2 in less than three weeks, according to one study!) if, and only if you can do it safely.
There's a safe way to offer recreational bones to most (but not all) dogs, as long as two very important rules are followed.
The bones must be raw (therefore found in the freezer section) and of appropriate size
You must supervise your dog while he's working on a bone; “supervise” in this case means you cannot let him out of your sight
Your dog's ancestors and counterparts in the wild have been eating bones forever, and in fact, your pet has a biological requirement for the nutrients found in bone marrow and the bones themselves. Dogs also love to chew raw bones for the yummy taste, the mental stimulation and because all that gnawing is great exercise for the muscles of the jaw.
There are two types of raw bones: edible and recreational. Edible raw bones are the hollow, non-weight-bearing bones of birds (typically chicken wings and chicken and turkey necks).
They are soft, pliable, do not contain marrow and can be easily crushed in a meat grinder. These bones provide calcium, phosphorus and trace minerals that can be an essential part of your dog's balanced, raw food diet. Edible bones are chewed and swallowed in their entirety.
Recreational raw bones are most commonly big chunks of beef, elk, venison, or bison femurs that naturally contain marrow in the center of the bone. You'll find raw recreational bones in the freezer section of pet boutiques or the local butcher.
While the marrow provides a significant source of calories, these bones don't supply sufficient dietary minerals for dogs and are for gnawing only, not eating.
When your dog chews on a raw recreational bone, especially a meaty one with cartilage and soft tissue still attached, his teeth get the equivalent of a good brushing and flossing, as there is substantial mechanical abrasion that occurs during the gnawing process. This helps break down tartar and reduces the risk of gum disease.
10 Rules for Offering Raw Recreational Bones to Your Dog
Buy raw frozen bones and store them in your freezer at home — You should be able to find raw (not blanched, boiled, basted, irradiated, or baked) knucklebones at your local butcher shop or the meat counter of your supermarket (sometimes they're called soup bones). When you get the bones home, store them in the freezer and thaw them one at a time before offering them to your dog. Bones that are not sold frozen have been processed to be shelf-stable, so I don’t recommend them.
Avoid bones that might splinter — Don't choose bones that have been cut lengthwise, such as leg bones. Cut bones are more likely to splinter and cause mouth trauma. And don't feed pork or lamb or rib bones to aggressive chewers, they're more likely to splinter than other types of bones.
Match the size of the bone to the size of your dog's head — Too-small bones can be choking hazards and can also cause significant oral trauma.
Don’t give bones to dogs who swallow them (aka “scarfers”) — Don't give a recreational bone to a dog who's likely to try to swallow it whole or bite it in two and eat it in big chunks. If your pet breaks off large pieces of raw bone, collect them before she can swallow them. Dogs who try to eat marrowbones in one sitting are often not good candidates for knucklebones because they can't distinguish between an edible bone and a recreational bone. When the bone has been gnawed down in size, throw it out. Don't allow your dog to chew it down to a small chunk he can swallow.
Offer bones after meals for exuberant chewers — Offer bones when your dog is full from a meal if you have an exuberant chewer. Hungry dogs (or dogs rarely offered bones) are more likely to swallow a bone whole or break it apart and swallow large chunks. This increases the risk of an obstruction in the digestive tract.
Don’t give recreational bones to aggressive chewers — It's important to be aware that aggressive chewers can and often do chip or fracture their teeth on raw bones, so don't give them to a dog who has had restorative dental work or crowns. Veterinary dentists have many clients who offered raw bones to their aggressive chewers and wound up with a bill for expensive dental work. Edible bones (whole or coarsely ground) can be a good alternative to recreational raw bones for some aggressive chewers. Choose non-weight bearing bones (e.g., wings, not legs). If you have concerns about whether your dog will chew edible bones or swallow them whole, you can grip one end with pliers or a similar tool, forcing your pup to chew off bite sized pieces. Some people also use a mallet to fracture the bones prior to feeding, which minimizes the risk of swallowing them whole.
Always closely supervise dogs with bones — Don't allow your pet to carry a bone off to a corner alone, without supervision. You want to be able to react immediately if she starts to choke, if there's a large chunk suddenly missing from the bone or if you notice any blood on the bone or around her mouth from over-aggressive gnawing. By closely supervising her, you'll also know when she has chewed down to the hard brittle part of a knucklebone, making splinters more likely.
In multi-dog households, it’s best to separate dogs before offering recreational bones — This rule applies to casual canine friends and BFFs as well, because recreational bones can bring out resource guarding instincts in even the most easygoing dog. After all, bones are the most delicious things on the planet to dogs and they don’t want to share! Pick up all bones after a chewing session.
Marrowbones can be a problem for some dogs — Bone marrow is fatty and can add to your pet's daily caloric intake. Dogs with pancreatitis shouldn't eat bone marrow. Marrow can also cause diarrhea in dogs with sensitive stomachs, so I suggest scooping out the marrow until your pet's gastrointestinal (GI) tract has adapted to the higher fat treat. Another alternative is to offer bones with no marrow if your dog is battling a weight problem or needs a low-fat diet. You can also replace the marrow with fat-free pumpkin and then refreeze the bones.
Feed bones outdoors or on easy-to-clean surfaces — Raw bones can make quite a mess as your dog gnaws on them. That's why many people offer them outdoors or on a surface that can be easily cleaned with hot, soapy water. | <urn:uuid:cedbed9e-1c08-4f55-a5f2-e505bf7946d1> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.grra.com/post/dog-bones-and-treats | 2023-09-27T12:04:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.950747 | 3,191 |

Institutional Review Regarding Human Subjects Research
Columbia University maintains a Federalwide Assurance (FWA) with the Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) that regulates our ability to conduct research involving human subjects. Compliance with this Assurance requires the university to ensure that all human subjects research conducted under the auspices of the institution is reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) prior to the conduct of the research. In addition, the university is expected to provide a comprehensive, ongoing training program in basic human subjects protections and to verify that all applicants submitting protocols for IRB approval have undergone this training.
The Columbia Human Research Protection Office (HRPO) at Morningside oversees human subjects research for faculty, staff, and students on the Morningside and Lamont campuses. Students from Teachers College or Barnard should seek approval from the IRB at their respective institution. Staff at any of these IRBs can provide guidance on research that may require review from multiple institutions, if needed.
All Columbia faculty, employees, and students who propose to conduct research involving human subjects, whether funded or non-funded, are required to:
- Complete the appropriate web-based training program(s) on the protection of human research participants prior to submitting their research application to the IRB via the Rascal electronic submission system. The training can be found on Columbia’s Rascal website.
- The required basic training for all researchers is TC0087 - Human Subjects Protection Training.
- Additional training is required if the research involves minors (Research with Minors, an option in TC0087).
- TC0019 - HIPAA: Health Insurance Portability Accountability Act Research Training Course is required if protected health information (PHI) is collected or created during the study.
- Submit their research to the IRB for review and approval. Protocols that constitute research with human subjects but fall into federally-designated exempt categories also need to be reviewed by the IRB for an exempt determination. The term “exempt” reflects exemption from the requirements of the regulations, not exemption from IRB review. All IRB applications must be submitted electronically through Rascal.
The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences requires all faculty advisors and graduate students to determine whether or not their current or prospective research involves the use of human subjects and, if so, to complete the applicable web-based training program(s) immediately and apply for review and approval by the Morningside IRB. Failure to do so may result in serious penalties to the university and individual researchers, such as the discarding of research findings and the prevention of the publication of results. The Columbia Students as Researchers Policy also requires submission of some projects that may not meet the regulatory definitions of “research” but involve humans or data about them. The IRB has also developed guidance that provides practical information to facilitate the submission of student research proposals.
Note that the Principal Investigator (PI) must be a full time member of the faculty (Officer of Instruction), or an Officer of Research, at specific ranks as described in the Faculty Handbook. See “Obligations and Responsibilities of Officers of Instruction and Research, Principal Investigators” section.
For student research, the faculty advisor, or other appropriate faculty member, should be listed as PI on the student’s IRB application. Students may be co-investigators. Faculty sponsors/PIs are ultimately responsible for the conduct of all student research and should familiarize themselves with IRB policies.
If you need guidance to determine whether or not you are conducting research involving human subjects, you may consult the following charts provided by the US Office of Human Research Protections (OHRP); and you may contact the CU HRPO at Morningside at (212) 851-7040 or by email at [email protected].
Human Subjects Research conducted without CU IRB approval is considered serious non-compliance with CU Policy and Federal Regulations and is subject to sanctions.
For information on the web-based training program and information on submitting a protocol, see the Columbia HRPO/IRB website. A short web-based Rascal training module (not required) that illustrates how to create and submit a protocol in Rascal is available via the Rascal Testing Center link: TC0017 - Rascal Training: How to do Human Subjects Protocols.
Please contact the HRPO at Morningside by phone at (212) 851-7040 or by email to [email protected] if you have any questions relating to research with human subjects. | <urn:uuid:3de76deb-9e19-483b-bfe1-35fbb1a2b2e4> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.gsas.columbia.edu/content/institutional-review-regarding-human-subjects-research | 2023-09-27T11:43:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.920419 | 933 |
This article is also available and sold as a booklet.
This sermon series includes the following messages:
The following is an excerpt from The MacArthur New Testament Commentary on Hebrews 13.
Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it. (13:2)
Strangers, like brethren (v. 1), can refer to unbelievers as well as believers. Our first responsibility is to our brothers in Christ, but our responsibility does not end there. “While we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith” (Gal. 6:10). Paul is just as explicit in 1 Thessalonians: “See that no one repays another with evil for evil, but always seek after that which is good for one another and for all men” (5:15). “All men” includes even our enemies. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you” (Matt. 5:43–44). Even the most worldly of people love those who love them, Jesus goes on to say (v. 46).
The danger of “being taken” is no excuse for not helping someone in need. A stranger, by definition, is someone we do not know personally. Consequently, it is easy to be deceived when helping a stranger. A person who asks us for ten dollars to buy food for his family may spend it on alcohol or drugs. We should use our common sense in deciding how best to help him, but our primary concern should be for helping, not for avoiding being taken advantage of. If we help in good faith, God will honor our effort. Love is often taken advantage of, but this is a cost that it does not count.
In the ancient world hospitality often included putting a guest up overnight or longer. Inns were few, often had poor reputations, and were expensive. Among Jews and people of the Near East in general, hospitality, even to strangers and foreigners, was a great virtue. Christians are certainly to be no less hospitable.
Hospitality is a New Testament standard for overseers, or bishops (1 Tim. 3:2; Titus 1:8). Pastors and other church leaders are to have open homes, ready to serve and meet the needs of others. Showing hospitality to strangers is the work of a spiritual woman (1 Tim. 5:10). In other words, hospitality should be a mark of all Christians, a basic characteristic, not an incidental or optional practice.
For by this some have entertained angels without knowing it is not given as the basis or motivation for hospitality. We are not to be hospitable because on some occasion we might find ourselves ministering to angels. We are to minister out of brotherly love, for the sake of those we help and for God’s glory. The point of the second half of verse 2 is that we can never know how important and far-reaching a simple act of helpfulness may be. We minister because of need, not because of any consequences we are able to foresee. Abraham went out of his way to help the three men who were passing by his tent. He did not wait to be asked for help but volunteered. It was an opportunity more than a duty. In fact he considered the greater service was to himself, saying “My lord, if now I have found favor in your sight, please do not pass your servant by” (Gen. 18:3). At the time, he had no idea that two of the men were angels and that the third was the Lord Himself (18:1; 19:1). And if he had known they were not, it would have been no less right for him to be hospitable.
In a sense, we always minister to the Lord when we are hospitable, especially to fellow believers. “Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me” (Matt. 25:40). To feed the hungry, take in the stranger, clothe the naked, and visit the imprisoned in Jesus’ name is to serve Him. To turn our backs on those in need of such things is to turn our backs on Him (v. 45). | <urn:uuid:c06cfc72-2a18-458e-9ded-e7d3ab504437> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.gty.org/library/bibleqnas-library/QA0072/ | 2023-09-27T12:08:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.978217 | 933 |

Americans that fall under the most common income bracket paid an average income tax of $4,688 in 2018.
Taxes can be an unexpected financial burden at the end of the year. But we’re taxed on more than just income. Indeed, the IRS takes their share of any chunk of money we have coming in – and that includes your settlement money.
If you’ve received settlement money, you might be wondering “is settlement money taxable?”. The answer is that not all settlements are treated equally in the eyes of the IRS, and you should know the difference before filing next year’s return.
Keep reading to find out whether you’ll be paying taxes on your compensation.
Is Settlement Money Taxable?
The IRS typically views settlement money as income. Anything considered income is also considered taxable.
And while that’s the typical rule of the IRS, there are of course exceptions. Whether you fall under those exceptions has to do with the particulars of the lawsuit in question.
What Settlement Money Isn’t Taxable?
To be exempt from taxation, your settlement money has to be the result of a personal injury case. Specifically, your personal injury would have to involve a physical injury and “observable bodily harm.” If your injuries fall under this category, then your settlement money is tax-free.
The same can be said for emotional distress that you experience as a direct result of a physical injury. While emotional distress in and of itself is taxable, if it’s part of your physical injury, you won’t pay taxes.
What Is Taxable Settlement Money?
Your settlement money is taxable if it falls under any of the following categories:
When calculating how much you have to pay in taxes on your settlement, be sure that you don’t subtract attorney fees from your settlement. You pay taxes on the entire settlement amount, regardless of what you paid in attorney fees.
Make the Most From Your Settlement
It’s all too common that individuals involved in personal injury litigation are financially strained while they wait for their settlement money. They may have problems paying medical bills and keeping up with the expenses of living while they wait for their settlement money to come through.
Pre-settlement financing can help families in these situations. All it takes is filling out a 3-minute online application with a trusted financier like Florida Settlement Funding. You’ll know whether you’re approved within 24 hours and you’ll have access to funds shortly thereafter.
Although this doesn’t change whether or not you’ll be taxed, it does give you access to that money when you need it.
More Legal Know-How
So, is settlement money taxable? If you have an observable physical injury or emotional distress related to that injury, then you likely won’t have to pay tax on your settlement. But if your case falls outside of those guidelines, you’re likely going to be taxed on your settlement money.
The law can be confusing and complicated at times. If you need someone to break it down for you, check back with us regularly for more legal know-how.

Year-End Tips 2022: 11 Tips for Directors/Major Shareholders (DGAs)
What tax-related steps do you need to take before the end of the year or what would be better to postpone until the new year? This is the perfect time to check the most important tips for Directors/Major Shareholders.
1. Small-scale investment allowance (KIA)
Have you already invested enough in business assets in 2022 to qualify for the small-scale investment deduction (see table below)? If not, there may still be some tax benefits to be gained! To be eligible for this investment scheme, an investment must amount to at least € 450 excluding VAT.
2. Breaking up of the fiscal unity as of December 31, 2022
If you no longer wish to be part of a fiscal unity (fiacale eenheid) for corporate income tax purposes as of 1 January 2023, the request for deconsolidation must be submitted no later than 31 December 2022. This can be advantageous in certain cases when there are several profitable companies in a fiscal unity. In this way, the companies can individually use the lower bracket in corporate income tax. However, the benefit will be considerably less in 2023. Due to a measure in the 2023 Tax Plan, the lower bracket will be shortened from € 395,000 to € 200,000 from 2023, and the rate in this bracket will also be increased from 15% to 19%. Breaking up a fiscal unity can also lead to the application or increase of the investment deduction. There are of course also disadvantages associated with the breaking up of a fiscal unity for corporate income tax purposes. If necessary, carefully map out these advantages and disadvantages with an advoser before proceeding with deconsolidation. Finally, the breakup of a fiscal unity before December 31, 2022, that was entered into in 2022 is considered to never have existed. Please note: consult your advisor about any tax sanctions that may come into effect as a result of the break-up of the fiscal unity.
3. Borrowing from your B.V. (including current account)
As a director-major shareholder (DGA), you can finance your investments with a loan from your B.V. The loan is then, just like the investments, in box 3. The borrowing must take place under arm’s length conditions, part of which is a written record. Discuss with your advisor which conditions you still need to agree on. If you took out the loan for the owner-occupied home, the interest is deductible if the loan qualifies for tax purposes as a home acquisition debt in box 1. As a DGA, do you have a structurally high current account debt with your B.V.? Then you run the risk that the Tax and Customs Administration will designate (part of) the debt as a dividend payment and make a correction, possibly even increased by a fine. You can reduce this risk by ensuring proper documentation.
Please note: In 2023, under the legislative proposal, you and a possible partner can only borrow a maximum of € 700,000 untaxed from your own company. Loans intended for the owner-occupied home are excluded from this scheme and will not be taken into account. The first test date will be December 31, 2023, so you have until this date to repay debts above the limit, otherwise the excessive part of the loan will be taxed at a rate of 26.9% in box 2 as if it were a dividend payment.
Do you want to postpone profit taking? Check if you can still form a provision. For this it is sufficient that the future expenditure originates in facts and circumstances that occurred before the balance sheet date, and that there is a reasonable degree of certainty that the expenditure will be incurred in the future. Furthermore, future expenses must also be allocated to the period prior to the balance sheet date. Provisions are possible, for example, a reorganization, maintenance, remediation costs, guaranteeing products or jubilee expenses for staff. Incidentally, postponing profit-taking in 2022 is less interesting for tax purposes than in the previous calendar year, now that the low corporate income tax rate will be increased from 15% to 19% in 2023 and the threshold will be lowered from € 395,000 to € 200,000.
5. Last payroll tax return 2022
Verify that all payments made to staff have been properly remunerated. This also includes the fixed additions for the delivery van and the passenger car, and other favorable forms of remuneration.
6. Last fiscal year VAT return
When preparing the last tax return of the financial year, please bear in mind the following points. Private use related corrections:
- Correction of VAT for private use of a car (both for you as an entrepreneur and for your staff);
- Correction of VAT for private use, for example, gas, water, electricity and heat;
- Correction of VAT for use by you as an entrepreneur of goods belonging to the company for purposes other than business purposes (including private use, for example, business assets that you use for both business and privately);
- Correction of VAT for the provision of services by you as an entrepreneur for purposes other than business purposes (including private use);
- Correction in the context of the company canteen scheme;
- Other corrections to the deduction of input tax on benefits in kind to staff (providing the opportunity for sports or relaxation, private transport and housing) and for promotional gifts and
Pro-Rate Related Adjustments:
- Entrepreneurs who do not exclusively perform VAT-taxed services must calculate the pro rata deduction percentage for the past year. This can lead to a correction (up or down) of the previously deducted VAT on general costs.
- If the pro rata deduction percentage falls below 90% (or 70% for travel agencies, among others), you must assess the consequences for any ‘taxable rent options’ in rental contracts.
- A review of input tax must take place on movable and immovable investment goods.
In some cases it is approved, subject to conditions, that the corrections can take place at the end of the calendar year (if the calendar year is not the same as the financial year).
7. Deadline for reclaiming foreign VAT
Are you economically active in several EU countries? Dutch entrepreneurs who are entitled to a deduction can reclaim VAT paid in other EU countries via an electronic request to the Tax and Customs Administration. Please note: Separate login details are required for this and it can take several weeks to process this request. The request must be received no later than September 30 of the year following the year for which you are reclaiming VAT. Requests received after this date may no longer be processed by the other EU country.
8. Employee car costs (VAT)
If the employer makes a company car available to employees, the employer is in principle entitled to a full VAT deduction on the car costs. However, at the end of the financial year, the employer must declare a VAT correction for private use. This means that an employer owes a fixed correction of 2.7% of the catalog value of the car for every car that is used privately. Under certain conditions, it is possible or even obligatory to deviate from the fixed correction and to match the actual private use. Commuting also counts as private use for VAT purposes.
9. Debtor does not pay, reclaim VAT
VAT paid without the invoice ever being paid? If a debtor does not pay you, you can, under certain circumstances, reclaim the VAT that you have already paid to the Tax and Customs Administration. Please note: if you make agreements with your debtor about the payment of the invoice, your claim may be converted into a loan. In that case, you cannot submit a request for a refund to the Tax and Customs Administration. Before you propose a payment arrangement, you should, therefore, carefully check whether your debtor will eventually meet his obligations or not. You must submit the request for a refund in time. This means within one month after it is clear that your customer is not paying. At the latest, one year after the claim becomes due and payable, it is deemed that the debtor will no longer pay and you must reclaim the VAT.
Cleaning up and destroying old administrative data can of course save you money, but do take into account the statutory retention period of at least seven years for your administrative data. With regard to immovable property and rights to which it is subject, you must even keep the VAT accounts for ten years. In certain cases, VAT is subject to a special retention obligation (of ten years) when telecommunication, broadcasting and electronic services are offered cross-border. A retention period of ten years also applies if you use the one-stop shop/OSS scheme. Permanent documents (deeds, pension and annuity policies, etc.) should not be thrown away. Tip: if you save the details of sales receipts digitally and can make them available to the Tax and Customs Administration, it is no longer necessary to keep receipts, receipt rolls and suchlike on paper. This also applies to invoices, provided that no information is lost during scanning.
11. Substantial increase in maximum premium income
The increase in the statutory minimum wage by a percentage of 10.15% (!) necessitates a substantial increase in the maximum premium wage. Please bear in mind that the maximum premium income for employee insurance and the Health Insurance Act will increase from € 59,706 in 2022 to € 66,956 in 2023. | <urn:uuid:febb88e6-372b-40e3-a0cf-7c4f2a4bda9e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.hbk.nl/year-end-tips-2022-11-tips-for-directors-major-shareholders-dgas/ | 2023-09-27T10:48:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.949016 | 1,960 |
Timing Is The Most Important Factor When Selling Your Home To An Investor
Should you sell your home to a local cash investor? Well, there are many important things to first consider when thinking about doing this, so it’s not something that you should decide on hastily. Over the past few years, the landscape has rapidly changed in the Colorado real estate markets, and it’s now prime time for investors in this local area to purchase single family homes for the purpose of fixing, flipping, and then reselling on the retail marketplace. With all of these new investors entering the markets on a daily basis, the pricing for homes has become increasingly more competitive, so it will be more difficult for newbies to gain some traction when moving into these markets from outside areas. Regardless of your timing, you should know if dealing with a cash buyer is right for your situation as a seller, and we are going to go over the pros and cons of doing so in the following paragraphs.
You should not consider selling your home to a cash buyer if your home is in pristine condition, unless you absolutely need to sell immediately. If your home is in great condition and you don’t need to sell fast, listing it with a licensed agent or selling it yourself would be a more practical solution.
You Should Sell To An Investor If:
- Your property needs updating or repairs.
- You’ve recently inherited a house, or you have a house in probate.
- You own a house that is in foreclosure and you need to sell quickly.
- Your property cannot qualify for conventional financing. (Investor is likely your only choice if this is the case.)
- You need to sell a house quickly.
Advantages Of Selling To A Local Cash Buyer:
- Many times sellers and homeowners don’t have to wait for traditional lending opportunities. Obtaining financing usually delays the closing timeline, and can dramatically increase the amount time spent in escrow. Cash buyers most often buy their homes using cold hard cash, meaning they can close fast, or on the date of your choice.
- Investors usually aren’t concerted with the condition of the property, because they have contacts with local contractors who can quickly repair the home to get it ready for retail sale.
- Investors are typically flexible on the terms of the contract as well, whereas a typical buyer might not be. For example, closing date, condition, moving arraignments, etc… Most cash buyers also do not care if you choose to leave items at the house, or don’t want to repair certain damages that may exist with the foundation, or the roof.
Downsides Of Selling To An Investor:
- Be certain that you are performing your due diligence and research on the company or individual who is buying the home. Make sure they have some testimonials from other sellers in the area, or ask for a list of properties that they have recently purchased. Also, ask for referrals from clients that they have recently dealt with to make sure that they can close quickly on your home. Usually a licensed real estate agent would perform this work for you, but if you’re selling your home to a cash buyer without an agent doing some research upfront can go a long way.
- Most cash buyers do not pay full market value for the house, and they will often pay 60 – 75% of the ARV, minus their fees and repair costs. This doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s a bad deal. If the house is in poor condition then you can end up saving money on realtor fees, escrow fees, closing costs, repair costs, and holding costs like mortgage, taxes and interest. Just be certain that you have a comprehensive understanding of the home’s value in its “as-is” condition. Also, make sure you understand that an investor needs to make some profit from flipping the home, while a regular home buyer doesn’t.
Negotiating Pricing With Investors
If you are wondering how to negotiate the best price with an investor, then you should definitely pay close attention to this section, as it will likely have the greatest impact on the price that you are able to get for your home. If you are certain that selling to an investor is a good option for your particular situation, then the next step is to figure out how to negotiate the best price for your property.
Some Tips For Dealing And Negotiating With Investors:
- Let an investor know that you are fully aware that they need to make a profit on the deal, but you expect a reasonable offer for both parties involved. Let them know right off the bat that you know how much your home is worth, and that you aren’t willing to go below your bottom line price.
- Ask the house buyer for a few references and referrals to make sure that they are operating a highly ethical and responsible company.
- If they make an offer, ask them how they determined that number. Transparency is critical when dealing with a cash buyer.
- Ask them what they intend on doing with the home after they buy. Will they fix it and resell it, or hold onto it and rent it out to a local tenant in the area.

Our company HBR Colorado is one of the many companies in this local marketplace that advertises We Buy Colorado Springs Homes in the Denver, Pueblo, and Colorado Springs surrounding areas. Our company has been working with local homeowners to sell their homes during difficult times such as foreclosure, divorce, inheritance, and relocation, and we have developed a very simple yet effective process for determining the price for our cash offers.
Basically, we take 80% of the after repair value of your property, we then subtract the estimated repair costs, which we figure out by getting quotes from local contractors or doing the estimates ourselves with a sheet of paper and a calculator.
Our Home Buying Formula Broken Down
Once we determine an accurate repair estimate, we subtract that cost from the ARV, and that gives us our cash offer. If you decide to accept our offer, then we will meet up at a local title agency in as little as one week to consummate the deal and sign the contracts and pass along titles and deeds. Since a third party is going to handle this stage of the process, you don’t have to worry about how things will go down, as there will be someone else there, an authority figure, overlooking the deal to make sure both parties involved are playing it straight and there’s no funny business.
We try our very hardest to run an honest and ethical company, and we aren’t interested in taking advantage of homeowners who don’t need to sell quickly, and if it’s not a win-win situation for both parties involved. We are doing this to make money, sure, but that doesn’t mean that we still don’t have our client’s best interests at heart, and we will go to great lengths to make sure that they are satisfied with the transaction.

West Pharmaceutical Services recently introduced its latest Daikyo Crystal Zenith 2.25 ml insert needle syringe system. The global pharmaceutical company announced the news at the BIO International Convention in San Diego, California.
The global company announced at the BIO International Convention that took place from 13-16 June 2022. The new syringe system is an expansion of the company’s Daikyo Crystal Zenith that offers an innovative alternative to age-old syringes.
All-new insert syringe systems from West Pharma
West Pharma’s latest innovation is an up-gradation of its Daikyo Crystal Zenith 1ml syringe system that uses a cyclic olefin polymer containment and delivery system. It is an alternative solution to glass and prevents the risk of mishandling and breakage. Also, it alleviates the risk of particulates, extractable, and contamination.
Since there is a requirement for high doses of injections, the need for a larger syringe size system also grows. With the new size of 2.25 ml, a larger volume of injections is now possible. The new size will help pharmaceutical companies safely make their products available to patients in a more user-centric model.
Li Chen, vice-president and general manager of Biologics at West Pharma, said in a statement that they can now bring solutions to the needs of more patients with their new larger fill volume in the CZ insert needle syringe system. Their high-quality CZ insert needle syringe system is a safe and reliable containment solution.
Li Chen further states that with their 2.25 ml insert needle syringe system, patients won’t have to take multiple injections to fulfil their dose. The new syringe system will allow fewer or less frequent injections, which will enable an easier patient experience.
West Pharma’s partnership with Daikyo
Daikyo Seiko has the license for Crystal Zenith technology. The company manufactures Crystal Zenith, a registered trademark of Daikyo Seiko, and West Pharma, a leading manufacturer of innovative and high-quality syringe systems and solutions.
In an exclusive distributor arrangement, West Pharma has collaborated with Daikyo. This partnership intends to bring their innovative new Insert Syringe System with high dose capacity to a global market.
Patients and pharmaceutical companies will benefit from the new syringe size to administer medicines effectively because there is a progressive need for high doses. Earlier, patients had to take multiple injections to complete their dose, and the whole experience was strenuous. With high dose capacity, the new syringes can administer the same dose in just one injection.
With its highly effective and efficient solutions, West provides safe containment and delivery of life-saving drugs to patients. The introduction of the high-volume insert syringe system paves the way to making the whole experience of the journey towards health much easier for patients. | <urn:uuid:fc932af1-46c1-4dd9-bc66-8117ffc9a65e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.healthtekpak.com/health-industry-update/new-devices/west-pharma-daikyo-crystal-zenith/ | 2023-09-27T12:45:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.894221 | 591 |

What Are The Signs And Symptoms Of A Heart Attack
The most common symptom of a heart attack is chest pain or discomfort. Other symptoms of a heart attack include:
- shortness of breath
- to the neck, jaw or shoulders
Most symptoms of a heart attack are the same for men and women.
Women are more likely to feel some discomfort in the chest rather than a sharp pain or tightness. The milder symptoms do not mean that a woman’s heart attack is any less severe than a man’s heart attack. Any symptoms of a heart attack should be taken seriously.

Symptoms Of Heart Attack
If you have any of these signs, call 911 and get to a hospital right away.
- Uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness, or chest pain are all possible symptoms. It lasts more than a few minutes or disappears then reappears.
- Back, neck, jaw, or stomach pain or discomfort in one or both limbs.
- Shortness of breath that may or may not is accompanied by chest pain or discomfort.
- Other symptoms include a chilly sweat, nausea, and lightheadedness.
The most frequent symptoms of heart attack include chest pain or discomfort, much as in males. However, several of the other frequent symptoms, such as shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting, and back or jaw discomfort, are more prevalent in women than in males. There are two kinds of symptoms to predict the heart attack in women, symptoms before a heart attack and symptoms during a heart attack. Symptoms of heart attack are fatigue, weakness, short breathing, chest pain, sweating, upper body pain, sleep disorders, and stomach problems which can indicate the possibilities of a heart attack in women. While squeezing, fullness or chest pain, pain in arms, nausea and joint pain occurs when youre suffering from a heart attack.
What Are The Symptoms Of Heart Attacks In Women
Until recently, research on heart attacks focused mainly on men. However, studies now show that some of the symptoms of heart attacks in women are different from those in men.
Too often, the signs of heart attacks go unnoticed in women . They may think that other health problems or drug side effects are causing their symptoms or that the symptoms will go away on their own. As a result, women don’t always get the health care they need to prevent complications or death from a heart attack.
Chest pain is the most common symptom in both sexes, but women may also experience these other symptoms:
- unusual fatigue that gets worse with activity
- difficulty breathing
- heartburn that is unrelieved by antacids
- nausea and/or vomiting that is unrelieved by antacids
- tightening and pain in the chest that may extend into the neck, jaws and shoulders
- general feeling of weakness
Some women may have few of these symptoms, while others may have all of them at the same time. Symptoms may suddenly appear and then disappear. Also, women often report symptoms up to one month before the heart attack. If a woman has any of these symptoms and thinks she may be having a heart attack, she should immediately call emergency or go to the nearest emergency medical centre.

What Is A Heart Attack
Heart attack signs and symptoms in men and women: Chest pain or discomfort Shortness of breath Pain or discomfort in the jaw, neck, back, arm, or shoulder Feeling nauseous, light-headed, or unusually tired.
A heart attack, also called a myocardial infarction, happens when a part of the heart muscle doesnt get enough blood.
The more time that passes without treatment to restore blood flow, the greater the damage to the heart muscle.
Coronary artery disease is the main cause of heart attack. A less common cause is a severe spasm, or sudden contraction, of a coronary artery that can stop blood flow to the heart muscle.
Heart Attack Symptoms Vary:
Not everyone who has a heart attack has the same symptoms or intensity of symptoms. Some individuals have moderate discomfort, while others experience very severe pain. Some individuals have no signs or symptoms of heart attack. But Sudden chest pain may be the initial symptom for some. The higher the number of signs and symptoms of heart attack you experience, the more likely you are to experience a heart attack. Although some heart attacks occur unexpectedly, many individuals have warning signs and symptoms hours, days, or weeks beforehand. Recurrent chest pain or pressure that is induced by exercise and alleviated by rest may be the first sign.

Heart Attacks In Women
At least two Kiwi women die from a heart attack everyday. Do you know the risks and the warning signs? And are women’s heart attack symptoms different to those experienced by men?
Heart attacks are often perceived to be a man’s problem, but currently more than 900 Kiwi women die from one each year. That’s more than two Kiwi women a day losing their life to a heart attack. Heart disease more generally remains the single biggest killer of New Zealand women. There are currently more than 65,000 New Zealand women living with heart disease.
How Long Can A Woman Have Symptoms Or Signs Of Blockage Before A Heart Attack Occurs
Is it possible to walk around with heart attack symptoms for a period of time? Yes, but for how long is impossible to state, says Dr. Watson. Every woman is different.
Thats why if there are any worrisome symptoms its best to get them checked as soon as possible. The symptoms that should send you directly to get checked out are chest pain, shortness of breath or fainting, she says.
As for knowing whether your blood vessels to your heart are becoming blocked, unfortunately, says Dr. Watson, you probably wont. Its really hard to know pre-symptoms, she says, though you and your healthcare provider can be on the lookout if she knows your family history and is monitoring your cholesterol, blood pressure and other heart disease risk factors. What you are going to really feel are the symptoms I wish there were an early warning sign but there isnt.

What Are The Symptoms Of Heart Disease And Heart Attack In Women
When women have symptoms of heart disease, they may include:
- Pain or discomfort in the chest that may be dull and heavy or sharp
- Pain in the neck, jaw, throat, upper belly, or back
- Unusual fatigue
- Shortness of breath during physical activity
Women who have coronary artery disease are more likely than men to have chest pain when resting or doing daily activities, rather than during exercise. They’re also more likely than men to feel chest pain from mental stress.
Symptoms of a heart attack in women may also be different than in men. Chest pain is the most common symptom for both sexes. It may feel like crushing or squeezing. But women are somewhat less likely than men to have chest pain.
During a heart attack, women may feel:
- Pressure or tightness in the chest
- Pain in the upper back, arms, neck, jaw or throat
- Indigestion, heartburn, nausea, or vomiting
- Stomach pain
- Shortness of breath
Heart attacks usually don’t look like the sudden, dramatic events we see in the movies. The symptoms may be mild or strong. They may start slowly. They can stop and then come back.
How Does Heart Disease Affect Women
In the United States, heart disease is the number one cause of death in women. But women are often not diagnosed with heart disease as quickly as men are. That’s because:
- Women are more likely than men to have “silent” heart disease, meaning that they don’t have symptoms.
- Health care providers may not recognize heart disease in women because women’s symptoms may be different from men’s symptoms.
- Women are more likely than men to have certain types of heart disease that can be harder to diagnose.
A delay in diagnosis may mean a delay in medical care that could help prevent serious problems, such as a heart attack. That’s why it’s important to learn about your risk for heart disease, the symptoms in women, and how to keep your heart healthy.

Angina And Heart Attacks
Angina is a syndrome caused by the supply of oxygen-rich blood to the heart becoming restricted.
People with angina can experience similar symptoms to a heart attack, but they usually happen during exercise and pass within a few minutes.
However, occasionally, people with angina can have a heart attack. It’s important to recognise the difference between the symptoms of angina and those of a heart attack. The best way to do this is to remember that the symptoms of angina can be controlled with medicine, but symptoms of a heart attack cannot.
If you have angina, you may have been prescribed medicine that improves your symptoms within 5 minutes. If the first dose does not work, a second dose can be taken after 5 minutes, and a third dose after a further 5 minutes.
If the pain persists, despite taking 3 doses of glyceryl trinitrate over 15 minutes, call 999 and ask for an ambulance.

Do Women Have As Many Heart Attacks As Men
Coronary heart disease kills more than twice as many women as breast cancer in the UK every year, and it was the single biggest killer of women worldwide in 2019. Despite this, its often considered a mans disease.There are more than 800,000 women in the UK living with CHD, which is the main cause of heart attacks.
Each year more than 30,000 women are admitted to hospital in the UK due to a heart attack.
What Causes A Heart Attack
Coronary artery disease causes most heart attacks. In people with CAD, plaque builds up on the walls of the arteries that supply blood to the heart. This is called atherosclerosis .
Plaque can build up in fatty clumps or in a thin, smooth layer. Both types are dangerous. The plaque can break open or wear down, causing blood to clump together in that area. If a clot blocks blood flow to the heart, it can cause a heart attack.
This picture shows how CAD causes a heart attack. Plaque builds up in an artery of the heart, and a blood clot forms. The clot blocks blood flow to part of the heart, and the heart muscle begins to die.
A heart attack can also happen if the artery pinches itself closed. This is called a coronary spasm. Coronary spasms are rare. They happen more often in young women than in older women or men.

When To Call 911
If you suspect that you or someone else might be having a heart attack, call 911 or local emergency services right away. Immediate treatment can be lifesaving.
Long-term follow-up care is also important to improve outcomes.
Heart attack causes damage to your heart muscle, which can lead to potentially life threatening complications. Although more research is needed, some complications appear to be more common in women than men.
According to a 2016 review from the AHA, women are more likely than men to develop symptoms of heart failure following a heart attack. They also have a higher risk of death in the months and years following a heart attack.
The review found that 26 percent of women and 19 percent of men die within 1 year following a first heart attack, and 47 percent of women and 36 percent of men die within 5 years.
Some for these gender differences include:
- There may be a delay in recognizing womens symptoms.
- Women may be undertreated.

Symptoms Before A Heart Attack In Women
Eight of the possible symptoms of heart attack are:
Females chest pain or discomfort is the most prevalent sign of a heart attack.
It may be identified as follows:
Women, on the other hand, may have a heart attack without any chest pain. In the weeks leading up to the attack, 29.7% of the women polled in the 2003 research reported chest pain. In addition, 57 percent of those who suffered a heart attack had chest pain.
What Do You Do If You Have A Heart Attack
If you have any of the listed symptoms:
- tell someone and ask them to get help right away
The faster you get help, the better your chances of surviving a heart attack. Half of heart attack deaths happen within 2 hours of the first signs.
On average, Canadians wait almost 5 hours before getting medical help. Many people find it hard to believe that they are having a heart attack. They convince themselves that the symptoms are something else and that they will go away.
Not getting help for your symptoms could lead to death. New therapies and drugs can reduce damage and save your life if treatment begins soon enough. Your health care provider will work with you to determine treatment and recovery needs.
If you have suffered a heart attack, having important health information close by can help medical staff treat you. Carry personal health information with you at all times and have it posted by your phone. You may not be able to tell medical staff this information yourself, depending on your condition.
Your list should include:
- telephone and health care number
- medical history
- current medications
- health care provider
- health insurance number for expenses that are not covered under provincial health insurance plans, such as:
- ambulance services

Shoulder Pain From Heart Attack
Although heart attack is most commonly associated with chest pain, it can also cause pain or discomfort in other parts of the body, including the shoulder.
Both women and men may experience shoulder pain during a heart attack. Some research suggests shoulder pain during a heart attack may be more common in women than men.
A 2018 study looked at 532 people who had an ST-elevation myocardial infarction , a type of heart attack that affects the whole heart muscle wall. Shoulder pain was twice as common in women than men. Throat and back pain were also more common in women.
Heart attack in men usually causes chest pain or discomfort, which may feel like pain, heaviness, pressure, fullness, squeezing, or heartburn. It typically lasts for more than a few minutes or goes away but returns again.
Can Women Reduce Their Risk Of Having A Heart Attack
As a woman, your hormones might give you some protection from CHD in your pre-menopause years. Post menopause, your risk rises and continues to rise as you get older. As you get older it is increasingly important to be aware of the risk factors that can affect your risk of developing CHD. The more risk factors you have, the higher your risk. Risk factors include:
- being overweight
- not doing enough physical activity.
Identifying and managing risk factors early on could help lower your risk of a heart attack in the future.
- Get tips and advice on healthy living.
We recommend that all women over the age of 40 visit their local GP or nurse for a health check to check their cardiovascular risk. If you’re aged 4074 and living in England, you can ask for an NHS health check. Similar schemes are also available in other parts of the UK.Your doctor should invite you to review your risk every five years, but you can also just make an appointment yourself to check your blood pressure and cholesterol. This check might help to highlight anything that could put you at increased risk of having a heart attack.
If you have a family history of heart or circulatory disease make sure you tell your doctor or nurse. You’re considered to have a family history of heart or circulatory disease if:

Have you ever woken up after a night’s sleep and heard birds singing a pleasant song through your open window? Most people probably don’t even know that those bird songs are called the “dawn chorus”. Birds see the sunrise and, for some reason, decide it’s time to belt out their best melody. The songs of these birds, when they’re all sounding together, are a beautiful symphony.
Of course, if you have untreated hearing loss, you may not notice the dawn chorus at all. And that’s unfortunate.
That’s especially true because it isn’t just birdsong you might be missing out on. Summer is full of incredible sounds. And if you find yourself missing out on the sounds of summer, it could be because of some undiagnosed (or diagnosed and ignored) hearing loss. The good news in these situations is that a device like a hearing aid may help you appreciate and enjoy your summer days more fully.
The sounds of summer
You most likely think of a really hot sun in a clear blue sky when you think about summer. And then you begin to visualize the summer soundtrack that goes along with this vision. Some sounds you might think about:
- Bees buzzing around helping nature bloom by pollinating flowers.
- The babbling of a stream or the crashing of waves.
- Peepers and crickets chirping a symphony as the sun sets.
- The sound of birds performing mating songs. (Humans aren’t the only species to utilize love songs.)
- The sound of your grandkids playing and laughing.
You get the idea. There are a bunch of sounds happening. These are the sounds that complete your summer, give it quality, and help create that overall vibe. And these sounds by themselves bring great happiness.
It’s feasible that hearing loss may have crept up on you, particularly if these or any other summer sounds sound to be different to you these days. Once you’ve noticed that problem, the next step is to take action.
Hearing aids can help you enjoy summer
Building relationships is what hearing aids are really about for most. Communication is key. They make it easier to converse with others, to hear what’s going on around you, and to appreciate the sounds that you hear. And at those summer barbecues, for instance, that’s even more important.
Modern hearing aids have some fantastic technology that will help you bask in those summer sounds. Here are some examples of some of that powerful technology:
- Rechargeability: You can recharge your hearing aid while you sleep and enjoy full batteries all through the day. Basically, you can charge your hearing aids in the same way you charge your cellphone. This also makes traveling with hearing aids a lot easier.
- Noise reduction: If you want to hear the crashing of the waves, but not the roar of traffic behind you, you’ll want hearing aids that can help you sort out these sounds (just like your ears once did). Noise reduction features are normal in modern hearing aids so you will be capable of dialing in the sounds you want to hear.
- Machine learning: Fancy algorithms (called machine learning) can help your hearing aids adjust to what you need, even before you know you need it. In noisy settings or when eliminating particular sounds, this can be especially handy.
- Bluetooth Connectivity: Perhaps you want some music playing while you’re out on the boat. Well, your hearing aids can be synced to the boat’s stereo via Bluetooth.
- Automatic programming: Modern hearing aids can automatically adapt to new settings or times of day, depending on how they’re programmed. This function makes them more reliable and simpler to use.
- Smartphone compatibility: You can begin to appreciate all types of features by syncing your hearing aid to your cellphone. Depending on the specific hearing situation, you will be able to control the settings on your hearing aids by utilizing an app you can download on most cell phones.
We can help you learn how your particular hearing needs can be met by your hearing aids (for example, you can ask whether you can wear them while you’re going for a swim or hiking up a mountain, that kind of thing). Hearing aids and water-sports don’t always get along. But you will have a deeper overall summer experience with your hearing aids.
You’ll also want to ask us some basic questions about your hearing aid models. Will your hearing aids have a problem with hot weather, for instance? And you should also ask, how do I safeguard my hearing aids from humidity? The answer to both will depend on the model of hearing aid you use.
Some loud sounds you may want to avoid
Some summer sounds, unlike the dawn chorus, will be harmful to your ears and you should make sure to steer clear of them. These are sounds that are, well, noisy! And everybody’s ears are vulnerable even if they don’t have pre-existing hearing loss. Some of those sounds include:
- Boat engines: Be cautious of how close you get and how long you spend near these engines because they’re really loud. Try not to keep the motor idling when you’re fishing. Or, even better, pop in some earplugs for the duration of your boat trip.
- Live music: Outdoor concerts are a great part of summer, but they can be harmful to your ears. This means you might want to be particular about which shows you see (rather than attending a festival every weekend).
- Fireworks: The dogs are on to something. Going to fireworks shows can certainly harm your hearing. This includes both commercial and home launched fireworks. Best to just stay away from fireworks altogether.
This list isn’t exhaustive. Summer fun for people with hearing loss may not include quite as many of those fireworks and loud noise situations.
But even with hearing loss you probably won’t want to avoid every loud summer event. So what’s the solution? Well, you can wear ear protection. Popping in a set of earplugs before you see any live music show can minimize a lot of the damage, for instance. You just need to make certain you’re using reliable ear protection.
Enjoy the sounds of summer
As the heat of summer becomes more oppressive, if you are dealing with hearing loss, the summer sounds might seem like they’re getting further away. Which means, a lot of the joy of the season could get lost.
So you may need to pay us a visit if you want to make sure you get the most from your summer. We will be able to identify whether your hearing is failing or not, and what kind of hearing aid will best suit your needs.
So begin here if you’re ready to enjoy the dawn chorus. Because birdsongs are just the beginning of those amazing summer sounds.

I decided I needed to outline my design for the esp8266 monitor project.
The problem is I’d like to pass the status (an integer representing Open, Closed, Operating) to a Google script. The Google script can then add a row to the table, calculate the delta time and show the status.
Well, since I’m not an expert, I’ve learned that just about everything requires an HTTPS POST or GET and the security stuff for the ESP8266 is over my head. So, now I’m trying a bunch of different intermediaries to set what can work.

The love that God is, is so far from the love that we have known our whole lives. But to be honest, love was distorted the moment that Eve bit of that apple. As a result, we can often have a distorted view of God’s love. Our lives are radically changed by God’s perfect love. Fear is gone, and we are free to be the person God created us to be. Through God’s love comes stability, and healing: emotional, physical, and mental healing.
When God’s love transforms us, we walk in love toward others. We desire the best for people, and we encourage them to aim for that spiritual promotion in their lives. Love is selfless and it is constantly pursuing ways to bridge the gap of disconnection in the world. Love brings freedom, not only to us, but also to those around us.
In Love: Four Week Mini Bible Study, we will talk about God’s love and loving others. God has a plan. His plan includes intimacy, freedom, and holiness. Let’s journey closer to God’s purpose for our lives through the love He has for us.
BONUS: Week One Preview of my newest Bible Study: Worship is This is included in the back of this book!
“Unless one has already arrived in heaven ahead of the rest of us, they are on the journey to learn to love just like everyone else. That’s a good place to be, on the journey to love. As you get to study this four week Bible Study, you will learn and grow in your understanding of the love of God, and let go of doctrines and live to love God and all people.” Amazon Reader

The following is an excerpt from a press release from Sangamo. Read the press release in its entirety here.
Sangamo Therapeutics Inc., a genomic medicine company, announced that hemophilia A gene therapy clinical data and hemoglobinopathies ex vivo gene-edited cell therapy data will be featured in poster presentations at the 61st Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology. The ASH abstracts, which were submitted on Aug. 3, 2019, were released online this morning. The conference will take place in Orlando, Fla, from Dec. 7 to 10, 2019.
- Abstract #2060: “Updated Follow-up of the Alta Study, a Phase 1/2, Open Label, Adaptive, Dose-Ranging Study to Assess the Safety and Tolerability of SB-525 Gene Therapy in Adult Patients with Severe Hemophilia A”
Presenter: Barbara Konkle, M.D., Bloodworks Northwest, Professor of Medicine at University of Washington
December 7th, 2019, 5:30-7:30pm Eastern Time
The SB-525 poster will show updated Alta study data including durability of Factor VIII (FVIII) levels, bleeding rate, factor usage, and safety, for all five patients in the high dose cohort of 3e13 vg/kg, with approximately 4 months to 11 months of follow-up after treatment with SB-525.
As of the abstract submission date, four patients in the 3e13 vg/kg cohort achieved FVIII levels within the normal range with no bleeding events reported up to 24 weeks post-administration. These patients did not require FVIII replacement therapy following the initial prophylactic period of up to approximately 3 weeks post-SB-525 administration. The fifth patient in the 3e13 vg/kg cohort had only recently undergone treatment with SB-525 at the time of the abstract submission. As previously reported, one patient had treatment-related serious adverse events (SAEs) of hypotension and fever, which occurred approximately 6 hours after completion of the vector infusion and resolved with treatment within 24 hours, with no loss of FVIII expression. SB-525 is being developed as part of a global collaboration between Sangamo and Pfizer.
“The rapid kinetics of Factor VIII expression, durability of response, and the relatively low intra-cohort variability in the context of a complete cessation of bleeding events and elimination of exogenous Factor VIII usage continues to suggest SB-525 is a differentiated hemophilia A gene therapy,” said Bettina Cockroft, M.D., M.B.A., Chief Medical Officer of Sangamo, commenting on the published abstract. “We are pleased with the progress of the program toward a registrational Phase 3 study led by Pfizer, who announced it has enrolled its first patient in the 6-month Phase 3 lead-in study. We have recently completed the manufacturing technology transfer to Pfizer and initiated the transfer of the IND.”

Last week, Trump’s toxicity flared like that exploded Russian missile. And here’s the thing: Any Republican president would have given them what Trump did. Ttax cuts, deregulation (perhaps not all would have re-allowed carcinogens, made global warming worse, or set about killing Bristol Bay); maybe even reneged on the Iran and Paris agreements. For sure, lying that Democrats want socialism.
Some reasonable people might support Trump because of those actions, even as it requires disowning former outrage at budget deficits, abandoning arguments for free markets, and acquiescing to poisonous levels of xeno-, homo- and Islamophobia.
But there’s a mammoth difference between Trump and any theoretical Republican president, not to mention most human beings: his adamantine indecency and inhumanity. Some called it “presidential” when he stood against murder in his “unity” speech. Anyone paying attention, though, knew he’d revert to type in less than a day. He did.
Even if he weren’t a racist (he is); even if his divisive, hate-promoting language weren’t intentionally divisive and hate-promoting (it is), the peril of Trump is obvious. Doesn’t matter how great the economy is, even if it’s because he hasn’t ended what President Obama began (it is, and he’s about to, and it’ll be on him); doesn’t matter that unemployment is low, even if it’s because he hasn’t ended what President Obama began (it is, and he will). Trump’s pathological need for adulation, for which he’ll do and say anything and which we witnessed in high relief last week, threatens all Americans; even those thanking Jesus for purging voter rolls and hiring Vladimir Putin to put him in office.
After those murders, Trump’s psychopathy was writ large, showcasing his doleful inability to act as normal people behave toward one another. Because he can’t help it, he made his trips to El Paso and Dayton entirely about himself. Inappropriate crowd-size brags. Preferring to attack opponents instead of consoling a grieving nation. Calling a discharged patient back to pose with him because other victims refused. Demanding aides say he was received like a “rock star.”
Which is the key to understanding Trump: his overarching need to be treated like a rock star. In a “president,” for its exploitability, it’s ominous. Kim, Putin, MBS and Xi are using it to their advantage.
Then, that grotesque photo-op: Melania, smiling like a bridesmaid, holding a baby orphaned by a mass murderer who’d manifestoed all the hateful words Trump disgorges at every rally. Trump giving a bizarre thumbs-up, s-e grin plastered on his face like a fresco in the Ninth Circle.
Hours after his perfunctory visitations came the ICE raid in Mississippi. Nearly 700 people, herded into buses, many of whom were there legally. Children and parents traumatized, some still separated days later. To whose benefit? Contrary to Trump’s anti-immigrant demagoguery, these people, legal or not, were working, paying taxes. Illegal is illegal, but is this the best use of ICE’s resources? And what of the owners (who just happened to owe those workers millions); like TrumpCo, off the hook if they didn’t “knowingly,” wink, wink, hire the undocumented. Let’s see how the factory does without them. Let’s see how many “real” Americans apply for those jobs.
Accomplishing little else for America, such raids are intended to please the most rabid Trumpists. Another key to understanding Trump: appeal to the worst in the most misguided, for it’s they who give him the fawning blandishment he craves. No policy homework required.
Topping it off, the “president” of the United States, role model, retweeted a claim that the Clintons were behind Trump party-pal Jeffery Epstein’s death. If Trump can do that, which some might consider legerdemain, let the rest of us consider whose DOJ took him off suicide watch and mysteriously removed his cellmate. And whose AG will investigate.
Trump’s divisiveness is what renders unto him the veneration he requires, no matter the damage it causes. A third of the country loves it. Like Trump, they see the dysfunction and fracturing it has engendered as affirmatory. But for Republicans who care — surely they exist — demanding better of themselves and their party is overdue. Including selecting a more worthy standard-bearer.
World problems are gathering faster than glaciers are melting: Hong Kong, Kashmir, Syria, Iran, tariff-ruined farmers, looming recession, the accelerating climate crisis. Trump’s toolbox contains only false promises, ignorant narcissism, lying, tweeting and caving to dictators. In a role once considered leadership of the free world, that’s not enough.
Conservatives used to be better than this. We all did.

It was initially built as a prison camp in 1940 by the Nazis for Polish prisoners. In 1941-1944 it was expanded and designated as the primary slave labor camp and Jew-killing facility as the “Final Solution” because of its convenient central location and good railway links to the main population centers of the Jews in Eastern Europe.
This allowed the Nazi regime to “relocate” the large Jewish populations in Poland and in the adjacen... | <urn:uuid:56d40983-566f-4eb5-b205-df06d3d4a4ac> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.heritagefl.com/story/2023/06/16/opinions/pilgrimage-to-poland-part-3/18358.html | 2023-09-27T11:45:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.966509 | 155 |

Goats have many adaptations (structures that function like tools to help them survive). These include two sets of toes on each foot to help them balance, special eyes to help them see in a wider range to look out for predators, and a 4 chambered stomach to help them digest rough food.
- What makes a goat a goat? What are some adaptations that goats have?
- What is different about a human eye and goat eye?
- How many toes do goats have on each foot? How many toes are on each goat? How many total goat toes were there in the pen today, including all of the goats?
- What does it mean to be a “ruminant” animal?
- Ungulates are animals with hooves. What other animals have hooves on a farm?
- Look at your own fingernails (or toenails). Are they made of the same stuff as goat hooves?
- Panoramic vision – Eyes on the side of the head can see farther behind the head. This is called panoramic vision. For this reason, prey animals often have panoramic vision so they can see predators sneaking up behind them. Animals with forward looking eyes have stereoscopic vision, where the eyes work together to focus, giving them better depth perception which makes them better able to judge distances. This is very useful for stalking prey.
- Ruminants – We mentioned that goats are ruminants. They have a four-chambered stomach. Try to find an image of the goat’s digestive system. It’s pretty cool!
A) Now that you have seen some of the adaptations of a goat, try to find adaptations in another animal. Find your family pet or a very clear picture of an animal you like. For this activity pick a mammal – an animal that has fur.
- Look carefully at their feet. What do you notice? Does this animal have claws? Does it have pads (soft cushions on the bottom of their feet)? How many toes does it have? Remember, goats have four – two big ones in front, and two smaller ones tucked in behind, called dewclaws. Why do you think this animal has these kinds of adaptations on their feet?
- Look carefully at their eyes. Are they the same as the goats’ eyes or different? Do they point to the front or to the sides? Remember our rhyme: Eyes to the sides, an animal hides. Eyes to the front, an animal hunts.
- Do a little research about cats or dogs or whichever mammal you chose. You might find out some amazing facts about their particular adaptations!
B) Goats have their eyes on the sides of their heads. Each eye has a separate view of the world. That is called monocular vision – when only one eye can focus on an object. To get an idea of how a goat sees the world, give yourself monocular vision. Put the palms of your hands together. Curve your palms slightly so only your finger tips are touching and your thumbs are side by side. Now place your thumbnails as low as you can on your forehead. This will keep your eyes from working together. What does your left eye see? What does your right eye see? Remember that goats can see much farther to the back than you can, but we don’t have a trick for that!
C) Draw a view of a landscape around you as if you had panoramic vision (wide angled, like a goat’s). Start by focusing on an object, like a tree. Look to the left of the tree and draw that landscape. Now, look to the right of the tree and draw that landscape. Tape the two drawings together but do not include the original tree (or object that you used as a focal point). You should have two completely different drawings! That is how a goat sees the world all the time!

Tanner Gray of Richland is following in his mother’s footsteps, with the help of the Carla McCulloch Scholarship from Hinds Community College.
Gray, 19, a second semester Associate Degree Nursing student at Hinds’ Rankin Campus, is the recipient of the annual Carla McCulloch Scholarship. The scholarship is awarded each year to a Hinds second semester nursing student to help pay for the second year of school.
“My mom (Angie Gray) has been a nurse for over 20 years. It has encouraged me to want to help people too. We still get Christmas cards from people she has helped. I’d like to do that for my ministry,” said Gray, who wants to be a nurse anesthetist.
The scholarship was created by Larry and Carol McCulloch, formerly of Magee but now residents of Roanoke, Va., in memory of their daughter Carla, a Simpson Academy graduate who was a Hinds nursing student at the time of her death in an April 1991 accident.
The award is made annually to a second semester nursing student who demonstrates the caring and enthusiasm for nursing that Carla embodied. She was a dedicated nursing student who took care of loved ones but also had a fun-loving streak.
“She was all of those things. She was very funny and didn’t mean to be. I called her the resident blonde in our family. She didn’t get why she was funny sometimes,” Carol McCulloch told Hinds Community College Rankin Campus nursing students in making the presentation to Gray. “You don’t just get up one morning, as Carla said, and decide to be a nurse and, oh boom, it comes. You’ve already been there and seen that and done that.”
Larry McCulloch said Gray embodies many of the qualities of his daughter. “He excels academically and believes that a dedicated work ethic is a must. He doesn’t think he has all the answers and works very closely with others. And really importantly, he believes that the field of nursing is a calling,” he said.
Gray said his parents “have raised me to be an encourager. I do like to encourage people. It gives me a sense of fullness when I can make someone’s day or make someone smile.”
To the McCulloch family, he said, “it seems your Carla had a lot of those qualities.”

Looks like Quavo is done being sweet about his break-up with Saweetie.
An unreleased Migos track surfaced online and fans are speculating that the lyrics include a diss directed at the Icy Girl.
Looks like Quavo throwing subs at Saweetie in a New Song?
“Sweet little B*tch now she Turnt Out” pic.twitter.com/ELe11fZusa
— TweetsbyTSB (@TweetsbyTSB) March 23, 2021
On the track he raps: “Young ni**a burnt out, burnt out / 12 pulling up so we burned out / Sweet little bitch now she turnt out,” Quavo raps on the snippet.
It’s the “sweet little bitch” part that fans assume is a subliminal shot at Saweetie. It’s been less than a week since Saweetie announced she had broken up with Quavo, so this could just be a coincidence.
Quavo and Migos have been working on new music including a collaboration on DJ Khaled’s upcoming album Khaled Khaled.

Saweetie also has some new music on the horizon. A collaboration with Demi Lovato for her upcoming album Dancing With the Devil…The Art of Starting Over.
That drops April 12th and we think it’s safe to expects a couple bars aimed at her ex-boyfriend. Per her break-up post she mentally checked out of the relationship months ago.
“I emotionally checked out a long time ago and have walked away with a deep sense of peace and freedom. Excited for this new chapter of elevation,” she wrote on Twitter.

21 March 2023
Experts from around the world are gathering in Orkney this weekend for the third, and final, Scotland’s Island Research Framework for Archaeology (SIRFA) symposium.
The event runs from 24 to 27 March 2023 and brings together a wide range of archaeologists and heritage-sector stakeholders to agree on gaps in knowledge and understanding of Orkney’s past.
The result will be a set of key research questions for the future of archaeological research across Scotland’s islands.
Over 130 delegates have signed up, representing local, regional and international experts and stakeholders from more than 36 different organisations. The event will include a series of workshops interspersed with fieldtrips to key archaeological sites and historic landscapes across Orkney.
It will be officially opened by Culture Minister Neil Gray who was born and brought up in Orkney and a former pupil of Kirkwall Grammar School. Mr Gray will be joined by Graham Bevan, Orkney Islands Council (OIC) Convener, at a private event hosted by the OIC on Friday evening.
Culture Minister Neil Gray said: “As someone who is from Orkney, I know just how important Scotland’s islands are in the field of archaeology and the opportunities offered by this collaborative framework will allow significantly greater understanding of our cultural heritage.
QUICK LINK: DRAMATIC EVENTS FROM SCOTTISH HISTORY - SOUVENIR BOOKLET
“This project aligns with the Scottish Government’s investment in our cultural heritage through Historic Environment Scotland which has funded this work, as part of Scotland’s Archaeology Strategy, to help protect and preserve our historic environment for current and future generations.”
Orkney County Archaeologist Paul Sharman described the event as vitally important for Orkney and the future of its archaeological research.
“We have world-class archaeological sites and resources, and everyone appreciates the value this brings to our islands. With the development of several national initiatives that seek to strengthen island communities, 2023 is great time to be thinking about where we want to be in next few decades with regard to Orkney’s archaeology.”
Professor Jane Downes, Director of the UHI Archaeology Institute, added: “I’m delighted that so many people have signed up for the SIRFA Symposium here in Kirkwall. To see so many active researchers and experts engaging in the project is excellent – it’s going to be an extremely interesting few days.”
As part of the Orkney SIRFA Symposium there will be a public talk on Orkney’s World Heritage Sites, with presentations from Alice Lyall, from Historic Environment Scotland, and Professor Mike Parker Pearson, from University College London.
Neolithic Orkney in its wider context – a reflection on Orkney’s World Heritage Sites takes place at the Orkney Theatre, Kirkwall, on Sunday, March 26, at 6.30pm. The event is free and all are welcome.

The Hoover Institution hosted its sixth annual Summer Policy Boot Camp from August 14 to 18, 2022, convening 117 students and recent graduates representing over 75 universities for four days of intensive and interactive fellow-led sessions on public policy.
Throughout the highly selective program, codirected by senior fellows Scott W. Atlas and Joshua D. Rauh, participants were provided with readings intended to prepare them for each session. Following the sessions, they were given considerable opportunities to engage and ask questions of presenting fellows.
“Our goal was to show young people that public policy derives from critical thinking – and that means analysis of evidence, combined with a base of knowledge and historical data. We wanted to challenge the students to think critically, and to reexamine their own preconceived notions by listening and interacting with Hoover's experts and then to connect with other students from all over the world, many of whom may have different views,” Atlas said.
“The program was terrific - thanks to the outstanding attendees and their thoughtful, well-formulated questions that challenged each other as well as our superb group of Hoover fellows who taught. We were delighted with the content delivered by our colleagues, the Hoover fellows, who successfully focused on today's most relevant policy issues and showed with evidence and analysis how to approach these complex topics.”
The 2022 Boot Camp focused on several policy themes, including economics, national security, technology issues, the quest for racial and social equality, the state of American democracy, and educational reform. This year’s program featured John B. Taylor on the importance of applying monetary policy rules in the US Federal Reserve’s management of the money supply; John H. Cochrane on the relationship between fiscal policy and inflation; Stephen Haber on how societies can best foster technological innovation; Jacquelyn Schneider on the impact of cyber operations on military power and international crises; Terry M. Moe on the correlation between school vouchers and educational outcomes; Shelby Steele on how the public debate over racial inequality is shaping US politics and policy; newly appointed senior fellow Brandice Canes-Wrone on how well voters’ preferences are represented by the nation’s policy makers; and many other speakers and topics.
“The Summer Policy Boot Camp once again shined as a flagship educational program of the Hoover Institution. It brought together a talented and policy-focused group of students for a week of learning and discussion, centered around the original research of Hoover's fellows,” said Rauh. “In short, the program immersed students in the practice of Hoover's motto: ideas defining a free society. Our hope and belief are that the 2022 class learned, as Milton Friedman exhorted, to judge policies and programs by their results and not by their intentions.”
As a capstone to the Boot Camp, each participant was invited to write an essay of 1,500 to 2,000 words that advocates a specific public policy measure, supported by facts, statistics, and valid arguments. Participants who submitted top essays will be honored with the Summer Policy Boot Camp Director’s Award, which will be presented at a future Hoover board meeting.
All participants who attended the entirety of the Boot Camp sessions received a Certificate of Completion for the program.
The Hoover Institution Summer Policy Boot Camp is made possible by the generosity of the Kurt Hauser Family. The application process for the 2023 Summer Policy Boot Camp will open in October.

Why should you be chosen for the Nurse Residency Program?
Residency programs focus on building decision-making skills, reducing burnout, developing clinical leadership, and incorporating research into nursing practice. Evidence supports formal new grad transition programs because they result in good retention and improved competency.
Do nurse residents get paid?
Yes, nurse residents are paid and are eligible for benefits.
Is a 3.5 GPA good for nursing school?
It’s not uncommon for students with GPAs far above 3.5 to be turned away from BSN programs. Still, nursing admission is like college admission: Different programs put weight on different things. Exceptional students are sometimes admitted to bachelor’s programs with less than a 3.0.
Do nurse residency programs pay less?
Nurse residency programs are seen as a valuable benefit and are often considered part of a nurse’s compensation, resulting in a lower salary. Fortunately, most nurses will experience a pay increase after they finish their residency and attain new credentials and skills, even if they move to another institution.
Are nurses really smart?
Nurses are less intelligent and skilled than doctors On top of all that, to practice nursing at all they have to pass the rigorous NCLEX. Becoming an RN isn’t easy. Many nurses even complete advanced education, furthering their degrees through graduate and post-graduate work.
What is the easiest nurse to be?
The easiest role you can have as a nurse is that of a licensed practical nurse (LPN) or licensed vocational nurse (LVN). LPNs and LVNs work under registered nurses (RNs), providing basic nursing care. LPNs and LVNs work in settings such as nursing homes, hospitals, doctors’ offices and home healthcare services.
Do nurses have to clean poop?
Cleaning poop (stool) is definitely a part of a nurse’s job. It’s not the most glamorous part of the job, but it is a very important part of providing patient care. It’s basically the same as suctioning sputum, drawing blood, encountering vomit, and more.
What is the StaRN program?
The Specialty Training Apprenticeship for Registered Nurses (StaRN) program is a unique apprenticeship opportunity to meet a critical need for specialty nurses that is facilitated by HealthTrust (formally Parallon), an HCA company.
What year of med school is the hardest?
What is HARDEST YEAR OF MEDICAL SCHOOL?
- 1st Year. Votes: 119 42.3%
- 2nd Year. Votes: 102 36.3%
- 3rd Year. Votes: 55 19.6%
- 4th Year. Votes: 5 1.8%
Can I be a nurse if I’m not smart?
Nope. In fact, nursing school has to be challenging because life as a nurse is challenging (but rewarding). There’s a lot you have to know, and to really know something takes a lot of work, study, and practice. So don’t let doubts about whether you’re smart enough to be a nurse stop you from becoming a nurse.
How much should a new grad RN make?
New Graduate Registered Nurse Salary in California
|25th Percentile New Graduate Registered Nurse Salary||$65,176||CA|
|50th Percentile New Graduate Registered Nurse Salary||$72,632||CA|
|75th Percentile New Graduate Registered Nurse Salary||$83,879||CA|
|90th Percentile New Graduate Registered Nurse Salary||$94,118||CA|
Can I get into a nursing program with a 2.5 GPA?
Between your bachelor’s degree and your prerequisite courses, you will need to meet a minimum GPA. Most programs require at least a 2.5 GPA or higher. Some set their limit at a 3.0 GPA. This is important to find out during the research phase of your accelerated nursing program search.
How much do nursing residency programs pay?
As of Mar 24, 2021, the average annual pay for a Graduate Nurse Residency Program in the United States is $58,560 a year. Just in case you need a simple salary calculator, that works out to be approximately $28.15 an hour. This is the equivalent of $1,126/week or $4,880/month. | <urn:uuid:154e14c9-92e5-4f41-a74f-fcdcd601c2d9> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.hotels-in-budapest-hungary.com/why-should-you-be-chosen-for-the-nurse-residency-program/ | 2023-09-27T12:40:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.950559 | 933 |

|Coding Contest Outperforms Megablast|
|Written by Sue Gee|
|Wednesday, 13 February 2013|
A $6,000 coding contest to solve a "big data" problem in computational biology produced a solution that was 970 times faster than existing solutions.
This spectacular success story tells how TopCoder, a community with more than 450,000 members representing "algorithmists", software developers and creative artists from over 200 countries, came up with a range of innovative approaches to the real world problem of analyzing the sequence data from the genes and gene mutations that build antibodies and T cell receptors.
The challenge for a 2-week contest with three weekly prizes of $500, was to develop a predictive algorithm that would outperform both the NIH's standard approach (MegaBLAST) and an alternative custom algorithm developed by Ramy Arnaout of the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Centre.
In setting the challenge, the researchers, led by Eva Guinan , HMS associate professor of radiation oncology at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, reframed the problem to make it accessible to individuals not trained in computational biology in terms of finding the edit distance between a query DNA and the original DNA string.
(click on poster to view it in new window) Source: TopCoder.com
The bottom line, as summarized in the poster, was that the TopCoder community came up with 654 submissions and provided 89 different approaches to solving the problem. 16 solutions were an improvement over MegaBLAST with one over 970 times faster than either it or the HMS algorithm.
More details are provided in TopCoder's press release:
The challenge drew 733 participants, of whom 122 (17%) submitted software code. This group of submitters, drawn from 69 countries, included roughly half (44%) professionals with the remainder being students at various levels. None were academic or industrial computational biologists, and only five described themselves as coming from either R&D or life sciences in any capacity. The 122 TopCoder members submitted 654 submissions yielding 89 different approaches to the problem. Collectively, participants averaged 5.4 submissions each. Participants reported spending an average of 22 hours developing solutions, for a total of 2,684 hours of development time. Sixteen of the submissions outperformed the accuracy (77%) of the traditionally developed custom solution and 30 outperformed the NIH MegaBLAST benchmark for accuracy (72%). A total of eight submissions achieved an 80% accuracy score, which is very near the theoretical maximum for the dataset.
The February 7, 2013 issue of Nature Biotechnology includes an article from the team of the researchers and its title proclaims the conclusion: "Prize-based contests can provide solutions to computational biology problems".

The asset has an area of almost 20,000 m2, in which are distributed a total of 500 parking spaces, 450 of which have been transacted with the operation, and the remaining 50 will continue to be in the ownership of Ibercaja.
For Loïc Delcroix, General Director of Spain and Director of Europe at Indigo: "This important operation is perfectly integrated within our strategy of expansion and growth in Spain. The acquired parking is undoubtedly a great asset, located in one of the prime zones of Zaragoza, city in which we are the parking manager and blue zone of reference. This operation also serves to confirm us as one of the main players of mobility in our country.”
For Ibercaja, this operation answers to the purpose of divestment in non-strategic assets.
Nick Wride, director of Alternative Assets at JLL, says that this operation "is an example of the great interest that exists to invest in alternative real estate assets in Spain, a market with a huge path that will continue to increase at high speed in the next years." | <urn:uuid:105c406c-8008-4717-b832-d662af98c9a8> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.iberian.property/news/archive/ibercaja-sells-to-indigo-a-parking-in-zaragoza/ | 2023-09-27T11:24:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.971347 | 224 |
Britain’s recent past is illuminated by a survey of some of its bleakest rural buildings, finds Charles Holland
In recent years, there has been a flourishing of landscape writing that focuses on marginal and overlooked places. Such writing is far more likely to focus on the Cold War defences of East Anglia or the oil refineries of the Thames estuary than more traditionally picturesque landscapes in the UK; it tends to fuse a number of artistic and literary concerns including multi-layered readings of place, forgotten social histories and a love of ruins.
Architect, writer and curator Corinna Dean uses the term “slacklands” to describe these spaces. Her book provides a guide to 31 sites scattered across the UK, almost all of which have outlasted their initial function and fallen into some form of disrepair.
There are internationally significant sites, such as the former US cruise missile base at Greenham Common in Berkshire (now a scheduled ancient monument) and Gillespie Kidd and Coia’s partially ruined St Peter’s Seminary at Cardross, as well as more obscure, and personal, choices such as the Walpole Bay tidal pool in Margate.
The fascination for these places lies partly in the history they embody: they are spatial and material manifestations of changes in industry, technology, leisure and geo-politics. The bombed-out houses of the Ministry of Defence-owned mock village of Copehill Down illustrates shifts in political allegiances and military interventions.
The original houses were modelled on an east European village in a banal, pared-down style reminiscent of the paintings of Julian Opie. These have recently been supplanted by the kind of shanty towns and makeshift military encampments that might be found in Afghanistan or Iraq.
The fate of Victor Pasmore’s extraordinary Apollo Pavilion in the new town of Peterlee in County Durham traces the arc of post-war optimism, through disillusion in the 1970s, to a more recent rapprochement with the modernist past.
Paradoxically, many of these sites represent a past that appears more future-orientated than our present. Edinburgh practice RMJM designed Torness Power Station with a strong compositional sense of its coastal setting; there was a time when a nuclear power station was a worthy vehicle for heroic modernist architecture.
The photographs are beautiful and deadpan, capturing the sites’ lack of traditional appeal as well as their striking aesthetic, which is sometimes unintentional; the former water softening plant in Newnham, Kent has a raw sculptural quality that rivals the best brutalist architecture.
Dean’s straightforward and informative text describes the history of each site and gives basic instructions for how to find them. For those of a certain inclination, no weekend need now be free of a trip to an abandoned oil jetty or a decommissioned dynamite factory.
This book is part of a larger project to record these places in the Archive for Rural Contemporary Architecture, an ever-expanding online catalogue. It is tempting to immediately start adding examples of one’s own; mine would include the remains of the Dunton and Laindon plotlands communities at Basildon in Essex and the slowly disappearing concrete apron of Pegwell Bay Hoverport in east Kent.
What they share with Dean’s examples – aside from a melancholic air of decay – is a sense of history that is not part of the normal heritage industry. They offer a reading of the past that doesn’t exclude the scruffy, the bleak, the failed, or even the ugly.
The kind of writing and photography these slacklands inspire is therefore a fusion of fictional narratives and sociological research, landscape writing that is highly aware of the big themes of contemporary life, yet grows out of the personal experiences that we have of them.

Paper focused on agro-environmental subsidies impacts on the marginalized region development.
ABSTRACT: Outlined by the Common Agriculture Policy (CAP), the rural development policy enables the application of the territorial dimension. The goal of this paper is the analysis and determination of the appropriateness of the CAP development policy tools specifically within the Czech Republic. Furthermore, there is emphasis on the compliancy with the EU territorial cohesion objectives. The analyses concentrate on the agro-environmental measures (AEM) and less-favoured areas (LFA) support. In addition, payments during the 2004–2006 periods are evaluated. Relevant statistical indicators that include geographical, demographical, and economical are designated. Testing and verification of the indicators undertakes comparative examination based on municipal size-categories. The results of this process indicate that AEM and LFA schemes do not benefit the underdeveloped municipalities as intended by the EU territorial cohesion objectives.

25 Jul. 2010
After losing against Russia Hungary took their first victory in Gwangju by beating strong Swedish team. Thanks to this close victory Hungary still can reach the semi finals. Norway took a clear victory against Croatia - which had no importance, as the still spotless European Champion was qualified for the semis before.
Main Round group I:
Croatia – Norway 30:36 (14:22)
Though they had already been qualified for the semi finals the Norwegian express was unstoppable again, at least for 40 minutes. By defeating Croatia in an absolute dominant way except the final stage the Norwegians took the lead again in group I with eight points, equal to Korea but with a much better goal difference. On Tuesday both teams meet for the clash of the titans to decide about number one and tow in this group. Croatia (remaining with one point) didn’t have any means to stop Norway after losing their second Main Round match, but they fought hard to keep the gap small. The European Champion stood strong in defense, and used their opportunities for interceptions and counter attacks. Aside they were dangerous from all positions in the built-up attacks Norway scored a ten goals lead even in the middle of first half – and kept it nearly until the end of a one-sided match, even as they lacked concentration in the final stage, as the winner had been clear long before. Croatia reduced the gap by their strong will and fighting spirit. In the form of the first 40 minutes Norway is the favourite against Korea – and maybe for the whole WCH tournament. Top scorers were Kristianssen (Norway/8) and milic (Croatia/7). “It was our objective that if we lose we want lose with a small distance. And my expectations were fulfilled, as the team followed my tactical instructions. I believe, we’ll see a final between Norway and Korea,” Croatian coach Mato Matijevic said. And player Marija Milic added: “It was the main objective of our young team to reach the Main Round. Now we can learn a lot and improve against those strong opponents.” In the match against Serbia the Croats want to finish the Main Round with a victory. Norwegian head coach Tom Morten Svendssen said: “We wanted to win this match, even as we had been qualified for the semis before. I’m glad, as a victory is a victory. For 30 minutes we showed all our strength and in the end we lost some concentration.”
Main Round group II:
Sweden – Hungary 25:28 (14:16)
The decision about the two semi finalists in group II will be taken on the last match day. Thanks to their close and high-tensioned victory against Sweden Hungary added to points to their account and have the fate in their own hands on Tuesday. With now five points the runners-up of the European Championship 2009 is one point below Montenegro – and meet the current leader in the direct duel on the last match day. But then they need a victory against the Balkan team. Like Brazil before, Sweden is out of the race for the semi finals with still two points.
Hungary seemed to be still shocked of the close defeat against Russia the day before – and Sweden took the profit, as they very close to the favorite the whole match. The first half was absolutely equal, the only two goals lead for Hungary was right before the break. The second half started with the strongest Swedish period, as the Northern Europeans took the lead and secured it until the 20:18. Later on Hungary scored four consecutive goals and turned the game again, but Sweden fought hard and equalized at the score of 25:25 – the sensation was close, but thanks to a 3:0 series Hungary decided the match in the very last minutes. Top scorers were Hagman (Sweden) and Kovacsics (Hungary) with each six goals. | <urn:uuid:92cc5a70-4eea-40e3-b4e5-81298a8740d8> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.ihf.info/node/2695 | 2023-09-27T11:23:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.982779 | 817 |
J visa is issued for the Department of State, Bureau of Consular Affairs designated educational and cultural exchange programs. J visa allows foreign students, scholars, experts, medical interns and residents, industrial and business trainees, and their immediate families to come to the United States as Exchange Visitors in US approved Exchange Visitor Programs. Please note that family members of the exchange visitor enter in J-2 visa category and they are required to present certificate of eligibility on their own name. The family members of exchange visitor can accept employment with the USCIS authorization. However, their compensation must be used solely for their own support but not for the support of the exchange visitor.
J visa allows the aliens to come to the United States for the purpose of gaining experience, studying or doing research in their respective fields. The permissible period of stay for exchange visitors varies depending on the exchange visitor category in which the visitor is admitted. For example teachers of primary and secondary school are admitted for three-year period, business trainees may be admitted for 18 months, college and university professors and research scholars may be admitted for the period of five years, foreign medical graduates participating in US internships and residencies may be admitted for the length of their program, with a usual maximum of seven years with some exceptions, etc.,
J visa program has some limitations. Some J visa exchange programs requires alien to spend two years of foreign residence outside the United States once he completes his or her program in the United States. Some J visa holders are barred to participate as professor or scholar for all or part of one-year period if they were present in the United States as F-1 student or J visa exchange visitor for all or part of one-year period immediately preceding the commencement of such participation set forth in the Certificate of Eligibility.
Any J visa holder subject to two year foreign residence requirement is ineligible for permanent residence or nonimmigrant visas in the H or L category until the alien spends his or her two years, after completion of stay in the United States, at his home country or his country of last residence. Some waivers are available for certain programs from two-year residency requirement. However, procedures to obtain waivers are complex in nature, and therefore it is important to consider two-year residence requirement in making decision whether to use the J visa category because the options for placing an alien, subject to requirement, after completion of the training are limited. Also, note that one-year bar on participation as professor or scholar also applies to the family of such barred alien. | <urn:uuid:e4c1a446-88a6-49b2-9bc6-6279abed4ea5> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.ilindralawgroup.net/student-j-visa/ | 2023-09-27T10:35:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.962002 | 509 |
Divorce raises many difficult questions, but the process can be especially challenging for business owners. If you are preparing to divorce in Metro East, IL, and own a business, it’s understandable to worry about how your divorce could impact your business. Ultimately, it’s likely that your divorce will have some effect, but the extent of the effect largely depends on when you created your business and what level of involvement your spouse had in operating it.
Illinois follows an equitable distribution law for property division in divorce. When business assets qualify for division in divorce, both spouses have the right to equitable shares of the business’s value based on their levels of contribution toward running the business. If you are unsure whether your business qualifies for division in your divorce, you must consult an experienced Metro East divorce attorney as soon as possible.
When a Business Is Marital Property
Illinois’ equitable distribution law allows divorcing spouses to retain control over their separate individual property and divide their shared marital property. If you created your business while you were married, the business likely qualifies as marital property in your divorce. It’s also possible that your business would qualify as marital property even if you started and operated it yourself because of your spouse’s contributions toward helping you, both direct and indirect. For example, if they helped you qualify for financing to get your business off the ground, this would likely entitle them to some share of the business’s value in divorce. If they did not directly contribute to your business but did contribute toward running your household and helping your marriage in other ways, these contributions can also justify them to claim a share of the business’s value.
Dividing business valuation is very difficult in most cases. Unless the spouses simply want to sell the business and split the proceeds, they must resolve the issue by compensating one spouse for their share of the business. For example, if the couple started the business together, one might buy out the other’s share in the business. However, if one spouse did most of the work of managing the business, the other spouse would likely only be entitled to a share of the business’s value. It’s also possible for one spouse to still have a claim on the portion of the business’s value even if they did nothing to directly contribute to the business, but they helped their spouse during their marriage in other ways.
When a Business Is Separate Property
It is also possible for your business to qualify as your separate individual property in a divorce. However, this does not mean your spouse will not receive some level of compensation to reflect the value of the business. For example, if you inherited the business from your parents, inheritance qualifies as separate property in a divorce. In addition, if you owned the business before marrying and kept everything related to your business in your name, it might also qualify as separate property, and you would be permitted to keep and continue operating the business after a divorce.
When a business qualifies as separate property and cannot be divided, the court will still consider the business’s value and future growth during equitable distribution determination. If the spouses remained married, the non-owner would still benefit from the business’s continued success. When the couple divorces, the non-owner loses this benefit, so most judges would uphold that they should receive some level of compensation for this loss.
Ultimately, the division of business assets in divorce is incredibly complex. These situations result in liquidating the business and splitting the proceeds according to Illinois’ equitable distribution law. Therefore, if you want to protect your business from divorce, it is best to be proactive about this during the creation of your business, even if you have no idea if or when you will marry in the future.
How to Protect Your Business From Divorce in Advance
There are two main methods of protecting your business from a future divorce. The first is ensuring that every account related to your business is in your name only. If you can keep your business accounts entirely separate from your marital accounts, this will significantly streamline future divorce proceedings and potentially eliminate the need to divide business assets. In addition, if you do need to compensate your spouse in any way related to your business, keeping these separate records will be very helpful in doing so.
The other method of protecting your business in advance is creating a prenuptial contract with your spouse when you marry. A prenuptial agreement outlines each spouse’s property rights and financial obligations for their marriage. While suggesting a prenuptial contract may not be the most romantic thing you can do before marriage, it can provide a couple with an opportunity to have complex financial conversations early in their marriage, potentially bringing them closer by alleviating any uncertainty and providing financial reassurance for the future.
Resolving Business-Related Disputes in Divorce
When you and your spouse have decided to end your marriage, it’s important to consider the way you intend to resolve the dissolution process. When most people think of divorce, they imagine a court battle, but litigation should be considered last. Most divorcing couples use alternative dispute resolution to handle their divorce proceedings. For example, if you own a business, private settlement negotiation can enable you to secure a much more favorable outcome to your divorce terms than a judge would deliver. The only prerequisite for alternative dispute resolution in Metro East, IL, is that both spouses must agree to the process.
Running a business requires constant attention and multitasking every day, and the stress of a divorce can not only make it difficult to handle your day-to-day responsibilities as a business owner, but it may also cause you to worry about the future of your business. Approaching this situation alone is exceptionally challenging and unwise. You should secure legal counsel from an experienced Metro East, IL, divorce attorney as soon as possible so you can approach the situation with good information and the professional support you need. | <urn:uuid:0396c98e-ea6b-498b-a6e9-0575d7ded6c8> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.illinoisdivorceattorneysblog.com/2022/03/protecting-business-in-a-divorce/ | 2023-09-27T11:14:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.960094 | 1,212 |

By allowing the user to change the core multiplier there is more flexibility in the overclocking as this is an additional “knob” to turn. The better stability comes from generally being able to use less voltage when overclocking the cores only.
