It’s been a year since the Covid-19 strikes. We are now in new-normal. The lockdown is leaving us lessons every single day.
Learn new skills. Apply that and solve the problem. This is how the pandemic is making us productive. Why am I writing it to you?
To reveal some secrets to the owners. Homeowners want to be updated. They need accurate information to perform DIY.
It can be about installing a shower head, shower valve, and more. You know the search query is vast. I picked only one crucial topic: shower valve hole size.
People ask a lot regarding this. I will answer all those by revealing some secret information. So get prepared to know 7 secrets and later there is a reward for you. One more thing, this article will save your time and plumbing costs. So buckle up!
7. What is a shower valve hole?
Simply; it’s a center for hot and cold pipe meetings. This valve controls the water flow and temperature. Now, what is the secret: it is the drilling process of the right hole. And this hole is called a shower valve hole.
6. Standard size hole for shower valve:
As I said, the drilling process is the main factor. So, the truth is, there is no standard shower valve hole size. It depends on the shower valve measurement. You will get a more clear idea in my Free tip.
5. Moen shower valve hole size:
Moen offers a variety of shower valves. Their products are as follows: Digital shower valves, commercial mixing valves.
Each of them needs a different hole to install. For example, the digital valve needs CC connection, with ¾ inches connection size. But commercial mixing valves are contrary. So, the hole size depends.
4. Delta shower valve hole size:
Same answer will be for the delta. Their Kerdi Mixing valve needs a 4 ½ round hole. This measurement is not the same for other valves. Yet, some experts prefer to do 3 inches. This will keep you on the safe side.
3. What size hole in the tile for the showerhead?
Tile drilling is different from others. So, the size depends on the shower head size. Here are some checklists.
Based on California faucet experts, 1 1/4 inch is the ideal hole size.
Moderate shower wall needs 4 to 15 inches.
2. What size hole saw for a shower head?
Shower head drilling is flexible with 1-⅜ inches hole saw. There are many hole saws in the market. Focus on the following factors before choosing a hole saw.
Is it generating less dust?
How fast can it cut?
Can it cut granite, ceramic, porcelain, Marble?
1. Are all shower valves the same?
No! All shower valves are not the same. There is a difference in shower valves:
- Mixing Valves
- Pressure balanced valves.
- Thermostatic valves.
- Diverter valves
- Transfer valves
Old school shower valve. You will find it in the old houses. The basic work is to bring water from hot and cold pipes. It does not have temperature control. So, skin scald chances are high.
Pressure Balance Valve:
People call it an anti-scald valve. It balances the temperature to avoid skin damage. To do this, it has a piston-made mechanism. The process dilutes the excessively hot water. So your skin is safe.
Thermostatic valves work two-ways: it controls the water pressure and temperature. It does not suddenly change the temperature and pressure. You can set the rate previously. Though it’s a bit expensive, it is the best choice for kids.
It’s a multi-purpose valve. This means it can control flow, temperature and direct the channel to the tub. Confused? Let me clear it. A Diverter gives you total control over the shower head and tub. You can balance the temperature and flow rate.
You can do multi-tasks with it. The transfer valve allows you to use the tub, shower heads together. It does not stop when you turn on any component. Present valves have anti-scald facilities. Just set the flow rate and temperature. You are done!
What is in these 7 secrets?
Basically, there is no secret. I bring all the information that is buried under the people’s comments. Those opinions are the major secret to know about shower valve hole size. And this organized outcome will help you to get an idea regarding the shower valve before you buy.
How to cut the shower valve hole? Beginners guide
Time to keep the promise. You have all the essential knowledge on shower valve and hole sizes. But you don’t know how to cut the exact size.
This guide will show you the easiest steps to cut. It will save your time and property. Check the harmless cutting procedure.
Decide what type of your wall. Is it tile, porcelain, fiberglass, or else? Ensuring this will make your tool choosing easier.
Choose the right tools. I am writing about hole saws. The following lists can help you to choose the right hole saw.
Carbon Steel Hole Saw: It is used for general purposes. Preferable for DIY projects. It works great in plasterboard, wood, and non-laminated plastics.
Variable Pitch Bi-Metallic Hole Saws: experts recommend this for a 30mm deep cut. Works well in wood and metal.
Variable Pitch Bi-Metallic Hole Saws (Deep Cut): not the same as earlier. It is perfect for deep cutting. Highly preferable for metal and hardwood. It can cut around 43.5mm.
Carbide Grit Hole Saws: you can use it for multi-purpose; fiberglass, tile, cement board, Marble, and more.
Diamond-Edged Hole Saws: a perfect hole saw for ceramic drilling.
You have got the right tool suggestion. Now measure the area first. Then draw the marks. Check the mark with your shower valve. If it meets the measure, you are ready to go.
Wrap the area with tape. Drill it down. Done! You have created a proper shower valve hole.
How much space should be between shower valve studs?
Framing your space is essential. So when you start to measure from the center area, keep 12 inches of space between the shower valve studs.
Now you know the secrets and have the free tips. It’s time to share the shower valve hole size secrets with your friends. It will help you to know the details about the shower valve. This will later help them to get a proper idea of the shower valve hole.

The year 2020 made everyone suddenly aware of what disruptiveness means. Old ways of thinking, working and business models lost their justification from one day to the next or had to be radically adapted to the new circumstances. In the search for a new confidence for companies and organizations, for the individual as well as for society as a whole, images of the future are needed — attractive on the one hand, credibly feasible on the other. Not just visions and utopias. It is about something that designers are particularly good at: Anticipating the future and making it tangible!
Good design drives sustainability. Interactive with many other disciplines, with research and science, design develops perspectives worth living. How will we live, learn, communicate and work tomorrow? It’s all a question of design!
That is why the MUNICH CREATIVE BUSINESS WEEK (MCBW) 2021, in the tenth year of its existence, is explicitly concerned with images of the future: “Shaping futures by Design”. In six central MCBW thematic areas (the future of cities, education, security, work, health and communication), the MCBW will present what designers and companies are already doing and will continue to do. | <urn:uuid:aa9cb1ec-f196-4f44-bd30-b0e7f76ed069> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://bayern-design.de/en/beitrag/mcbw-guide-2021/ | 2023-09-28T18:37:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.96093 | 248 |

BDF Document Control Center
"With its Document Management (DMS),SAP provides a solid base for handling documents. Our BDF Document Control Center (DCC) steps up where the standard falls short, offering additional features like document dispatching, a document cockpit, and automated classification. Our integrated document deadline tracking helps monitor the timely drafting of documents, ensuring that you comply with all document delivery deadlines."
Managing Director BDF EXPERTS
Document Management with BDF‘s DCC
BDF‘s DCC is a versatile document management software, fully integrated in SAP that lets you access and edit your documents from any point in SAP. The BDF DCC features include:
- Document planning and control
- Scheduling and expediting (progress tracking)
- Status managing and viewing
- Managing via folder structures
- Links to SAP objects such as equipment, purchase order, production orders, and others
- automated classifying and indexing
- textual access search
The benefits of our integrated DCC
Although there is only one original file of each document, the same document can be linked to different objects which allows for document accessibility from orders or equipment. The SAP Authorization Concept gives you flexible control to define who is allowed to read or edit a document. With the help of our DCC, all file formats can be saved in SAP – no matter whether it’s an image, video, pdf, or text file you’re dealing with. As all files are stored on a content server, file size has no influence on performance - you can assign as much memory as needed.
Example scenarios for use of BDF‘s DCC
BDF‘s DCC is the perfect solution for technical documentation of plants or technical objects. Thanks to the integration in maintenance (SAP PM), customer service (SAP CS), and material management (SAP MM), you can easily access and file orders, operating instructions, or test reports directly from the respective transactions. Finally find your documentation where you need it.
BDF‘s DCC helps you manage contracts digitally. It provides not only audit-compliant filing and archiving but also automated dispatch of contract documents to contract partners (see document dispatch). BDF’s DCC lets you monitor contract deadlines and provides comprehensive reporting.
Digitize your entire procurement in combination with the BDF Collaboration Center (BCC). Upload all required documents from the SAP interface via the DCC to the collaboration platform (BCC) where suppliers can download them and upload any documents required for contract-compliant delivery of goods, such as conformity declarations, technical documentations, and others. Only once all documents have been submitted and checked via the collaboration platform, is delivery marked complete. The DCC also enables digital invoice dispatch (see document dispatch).
As the BDF DCC meets all relevant requirements, you can use it as long-term archive for any type of document (invoices/contracts/test reports). Once successfully implemented, it can be certified by an external auditing company and is then regarded as a substitute for the storage of documents in paper form. We are happy to advise you about your individual process, as certification can only be obtained for software-process combinations.
The DCC offers automated compilation of documents into document packages in adherence to predefined rules, as well as dispatch to the respective recipients. For every dispatch, the DCC automatically creates a transmittal that lists all transmitted documents. It can also generate a cover letter addressing the recipient. The DCC provides a comprehensive dispatch history saving information such dispatch time, recipient, sender, and all dispatched documents to be assessed by the user at any time. The recipient’s response can also be automatically transferred into the DCC, either in form of information (acceptance / category codes) or original file. | <urn:uuid:62857d97-f9a5-4dc7-bf5c-b7823625dd2d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://bdfexperts.de/en/services/product-development/dcc | 2023-09-28T16:42:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.885753 | 814 |
Informatics Institute faculty member Behçet Uğur Töreyin coauthored paper titled 'Improved cell segmentation using deep learning in label-free optical microscopy images' has been published in 'Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering & Computer Sciences'.
DOI: 10.3906/elk-2105-244 (This number will become active after the manuscript has been selected for inclusion in an issue.)
The recently popular deep neural networks (DNNs) have a significant effect on the improvement of seg- mentation accuracy from various perspectives, including robustness and completeness in comparison to conventional methods. We determined that the naive U-Net has some lacks in specific perspectives and there is high potential for further enhancements on the model. Therefore, we employed some modifications in different folds of the U-Net to overcome this problem. Based on the probable opportunity for improvement, we develop a novel architecture by us- ing an alternative feature extractor in the encoder of U-Net and replacing the plain blocks with residual blocks in the decoder. This alteration makes the model superconvergent yielding improved performance results on two challenging optical microscopy image series: a phase-contrast dataset of our own (MDA-MB-231) and a brightfield dataset from a well-known challenge (DSB2018). We utilized the U-Net with pretrained ResNet-18 as the encoder for the segmentation task. Hence, following the modifications, we redesign a novel skip-connection to reduce the semantic gap between the encoder and the decoder. The proposed skip-connection increases the accuracy of the model on both datasets. The proposed segmentation approach results in Jaccard Index values of 85.0% and 89.2% on the DSB2018 and MDA-MB-231 datasets, respectively. The results reveal that our method achieves competitive results compared to the state-of-the-art approaches and surpasses the performance of baseline approaches. | <urn:uuid:19806b53-01b0-4406-a1a2-2c4f38aea257> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://be.itu.edu.tr/en/newsdetail/2021/10/11/improved-cell-segmentation-using-deep-learning-in-label-free-optical-microscopy-images | 2023-09-28T19:00:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.908382 | 405 |

With a large family that’s on the go more than I like, muffins are a wonderful option for breakfast on the run.
I’d love to say we rarely eat in the car and that meals are always a leisurely, relaxing experience around the kitchen table, but that daily occurrence ended years ago. When we are together, I cherish it and I do fight for those family meal times.
While most of the muffins I make for breakfast are healthy like my Banana Oatmeal Muffins every once in awhile, I like to surprise them with some extra goodness.
I’d say a few bits of Heath bar sprinkled throughout the batter, ending with a Toffee topping, definitely scores in the Mommy baking department, plus the frugal girl in me feels a fond affection for this recipe since I snatched up 50% off Heath bars the day after Halloween. 🙂
Yes, with a recipe named Heath Bar Mini Muffins, you’d assume these would be incredibly sweet, but the batter only has 1/3 cup of brown sugar. It’s the toffee that adds the sweetness and I admit, the second batch got even more Heath bits than the first.
I double everything below and I divide the batter between mini muffins and regular sized tins, since what’s the point of one son eating 12 mini muffins? 🙂 I also can’t rave about my Non-Stick Mini Muffin Pans enough.
In fact, I used either Silicone Muffin Pan, non stick or stone ware pans for all my muffin baking since I’ve had one too many stuck baked goods in the past.
Often I end up improvising with recipes. With this one, I’ve run out of milk before and substituted some flavored coffee creamer. It made for a wonderfully delightful change in flavor, and also add additional sweetness to the batter which our sons did not mind at all.
So enjoy some Crunchy Toffee Goodness this week, I sure will.
Recipe: Heath Bar Mini Muffins
Summary: These delicious Heath Bar Muffins offer a hint of crunchy toffee goodness in each bite.

Overasseltse and Hatertse Vennen
Just outside our B&B you can enter the Overasseltse and Hatertse Vennen, a magnificent nature reserve where you can walk or use your bike for hours on end. Right on the edge of this reserve you will find the 15th century ruin of the St. Walrick Chapel and the nearby summer oak that is worshipped as the ‘Fevertree of Overasselt’.
Welcome to the website of Golf School Wijchen. My name is Steven Scheltema and I have been a PG-A certified golf teacher since 2001
The lessons are given at Golfbaan de Berendonck in Wijchen. This beautiful 18-hole golf course, a par 3 course, driving range and a clubhouse with restaurant is an ideal place for the advanced or new golfer. Do you want to get acquainted with golf, view the range of lessons or book a lesson immediately, look further on the website.
Overasselt is a small village of only 2500 people. In spite of this small number of inhabitants you can find the grand Holy Antony Church in the middle of the village. Just down the road you’ll find the much smaller, but picturesque Dutch Reformed Church.
The oldest city in the Netherlands has many sights. There are several museums, like the Valkhof museum and the MuZIEum. Nijmegen is a student city and therefore offers a great night life and many bars and restaurants, for instance on the Grote Markt or the Koningsplein. In the Honigcomplex, an old soup factory, you can have dinner or go to dance parties and theatre.
In the city centre you will find many shops, not only in the main shopping area, but also in the Hezelstraat, the oldest shopping street in the Netherlands.
On the other side of the river Maas, about five kilometres from our B&B, you will find the small fortress of Grave. Grave is a monumental little town and a walk through the authentic centre will be worth your while. There are also many beautiful old buildings and eccentric little shops in Grave and of course, there are plenty of cafes and restaurants.
Ravenstein is another old town with many monumental sights. You can go for a city tour, visit the town brewery or the tannery museum.
From early May until the end of September you can cross the river Maas by a small ferry to the little village of Niftrik. From the river, you’ll have a beautiful view of Ravenstein. Ravenstein of course also offers some cafes and restaurants. | <urn:uuid:252bd853-da81-4f77-82d1-2fe9d606f2e0> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://bedandbreakfastvanbeijden.nl/surroundings/ | 2023-09-28T17:05:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.926295 | 593 |
Do I Need to Hire a Bed Bug or Pest Control Exterminator?
You might be like many and consider if it's worth hiring a professional exterminator when you're facing a pest problem. Well, unfortunately, when it comes to bed bugs you're better off letting a professional treat them. There are many DIY methods to help get rid of them, but this could result in more time and money required on your part than if you were to hire a local bed bug exterminator from the start. Other general pests can sometimes be managed on your own while others will require an exterminator; like cockroaches or rodents. We feel that it's worth reaching out to a pest control professional to learn more and determine if it's the right choice for your needs.

Looking for the best way to get rid of cockroaches? Roaches are one of the most common pests in the world. They carry bacteria and germs that can cause diseases and skin infections. They can be attracted to your home for several different reasons but mainly they come for food, water and shelter. They are also attracted to dirt and waste products that can be found in a person's home.Take Quick Action
This is a pest that adapts to its environment, therefore, it isn't necessarily picky about where it takes up shelter. Once cockroaches have infiltrated your house they can grow in numbers very quickly. There are several different over-the-counter chemicals that are available on the market to kill them, but these chemicals are not always safe for the health of your family and pets. Below are a few different natural home remedies that can be used to get rid of cockroaches in your home without the use of an exterminator if the infiltration is not overwhelming. <…
Did you recently have bed bugs in your home? If so, you're probably wondering what comes after bed bug extermination. Your pest control technician likely informed you of the steps to take post-treatment for bed bugs. Even so, it's important to cover all bases, not only for safety but to make sure you get the most from the treatment(s).
Let’s look at the things to consider and things that you need to know after a bed bug extermination and what to expect.Premature Re-Entry To Treated Room Is Not Recommended
If you have used a PMP (pest management professional) for the process, be sure to follow all of their recommendations.
For example, you will be informed about how long you should wait before re-entering the treated area or room.
This is typically between 2-4 hours after the extermination and the same goes for instances when you personally sprayed or treated the space.
Having said that, you might be asked to wait …
If you think that you may have a bed bug infestation, there are several things to look for when confirming your suspicions. Knowing where to look and what you are looking for is the first step to spotting an infestation.
Calling a professional exterminator to scope out your house is the best way to find out if you have a bed bug problem. If you see any signs of bed bugs in your home you should be sure to call a professional right away to avoid an out of control infestation.Where To Look & What To Look For
Blood Stains - Bed bugs eat blood meals and therefore they leave a stain when smashed. These bloodstains tend to be very noticeable on bedding.
Dark Spots - Dark, brownish-red spots on your bedding that are not bloodstains could be fecal matter from bed bugs which is also a big telltale of an infestation. They can be located on your bedding, walls, or other rooms that the bugs may have entered.

A Beginner's Guide to Ant Identification: How to Distinguish Different Ant Species
Ants are fascinating creatures that can be found in almost every corner of the world. With over 12,000 known species, they come in a wide range of sizes, colors, and behaviors. If you've ever wondered how to distinguish different ant species, this beginner's guide will provide you with the knowledge you need to identify these tiny insects.
1. Body Shape and Size
One of the first things to look for when identifying ants is their body shape and size. Ants have three distinct body regions: head, thorax, and abdomen. The size and shape of these regions can vary greatly between different species. Some ants have a slender and elongated body, while others have a stout and robust appearance.
Antennae are another important feature to consider. They can be straight or elbowed, and their length can also vary. Some species have long antennae that are as long as or even longer than their body, while others have shorter antennae.
Ants come in a wide range of colors, including black, brown, red, yellow, and even green. Some species may have a single color, while others may exhibit multiple colors or patterns on their body.
4. Nesting Habitats
Different ant species have distinct nesting habits. Some ants build their nests underground, while others construct nests in trees, logs, or even inside human structures. Observing where ants are coming from or going to can give you clues about their species.
5. Foraging Behavior
Ants have different foraging behaviors. Some species are scavengers, feeding on dead insects or leftover food, while others are predators, hunting and capturing other insects. Some ants are even farmers, cultivating fungi or herding aphids for their honeydew.
6. Social Structure
Ants are highly social insects that live in colonies. The social structure can vary between species, with some having a single queen, while others may have multiple queens or even no queen at all. Understanding the social structure can provide valuable insights into ant identification.
7. Winged Reproductives
Ant colonies produce winged reproductive ants, also known as alates. These individuals have wings and are responsible for mating and establishing new colonies. The presence of alates can help identify certain ant species.
8. Nesting Material
The material used for constructing nests can also provide clues about ant species. Some ants use soil to build their nests, while others use plant materials, such as leaves or twigs. Certain species may also use sand, pebbles, or even resin.
9. Geographic Location
Ant species distribution can vary depending on the geographic location. Some species are more common in specific regions, while others can be found worldwide. Researching the native range of a particular species can help narrow down the possibilities.
10. Consult an Expert
If you're still unsure about ant identification, it's always best to consult an expert. Entomologists, pest control professionals, and local university extension services can provide valuable assistance in identifying ant species.
1. Are all ants harmful?
No, not all ants are harmful. While some species can cause damage to structures or crops, many ants play important roles in ecosystems, such as seed dispersal and soil aeration.
2. How do ants communicate?
Ants communicate through chemical signals called pheromones. They leave trails to guide other ants to food sources and use pheromones to signal danger or alarm.
3. Can ants bite or sting?
Yes, some ants can bite or sting as a defense mechanism. Fire ants, for example, have a painful sting that can cause allergic reactions in some individuals.
4. How long do ants live?
The lifespan of ants varies depending on the species. Worker ants typically live for a few weeks to a few months, while queens can live for several years.
5. Why do ants invade homes?
Ants may invade homes in search of food, water, or suitable nesting sites. Keeping your home clean and sealing any entry points can help prevent ant infestations.
6. Do ants have any natural predators?
Yes, ants have natural predators, including other insects, birds, reptiles, and mammals. Some species of ants are also known to engage in territorial battles with neighboring colonies.
7. Are all ants the same size?
No, ants come in a wide range of sizes. Some species are tiny, measuring only a few millimeters in length, while others can be several centimeters long.
8. Can ants damage electrical wiring?
Yes, certain ant species, such as carpenter ants, can damage electrical wiring by excavating tunnels in wood. This can potentially lead to short circuits or even fires.
9. Can ants swim?
Some ant species are capable of swimming. They can form rafts or bridges using their bodies to navigate across water bodies and reach new territories.
10. Can ants carry diseases?
While ants can carry bacteria and other microorganisms, they are not significant carriers of human diseases. However, their presence in food or living spaces can contaminate surfaces. Proper sanitation and pest control measures are essential to minimize any potential health risks.
In conclusion, identifying different ant species can be a fascinating endeavor. By observing their body shape, antennae, coloration, nesting habits, foraging behavior, social structure, and other characteristics, you can begin to distinguish between the numerous ant species. Remember, if unsure, it's always beneficial to seek the guidance of experts in the field. | <urn:uuid:3b500917-1ea8-49c9-b8ff-79d8ed60d881> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://bedbugsize.com/a-beginners-guide-to-ant-identification-how-to-distinguish-different-ant-species/ | 2023-09-28T18:09:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.92786 | 1,159 |
Shelter dog, how did he get here
Let’s talk about the rescued dog in the local dog shelter. In a recent article I sought to create awareness about dogs you find in a dog rescue shelter, but now let’s gain a greater understanding before you entertain dog shelter adoptions.
An abandoned dog may be in the dog shelter for any number of reasons. He may be a rescued dog, delivered from some great tragedy or depravity. But don’t overlook the reality that some dogs are abandoned simply because they were bad ones with psychological, emotional, or treatment-induced bad dog behaviors and obsessive dog behaviors that the previous owners could not handle. Beware! Don’t buy another man’s problems!
Shelter evaluations are not all created equal, and not all are to be trusted. To avoid potential heartache down the road, it is wise to get professional help in the assessment prior to selecting your pet. We discuss assessment of the dog adoption candidates in another article, but just remember to do it with open eyes and open mind. Still, do not overlook the fact that many rescued dogs (like my Border Collie, Gatsby) are fabulous animals and ideal pets. Gatsby’s story involves two of the major reasons many abandoned dogs wind up in dog rescue shelters:
(1) His first owners abandoned him simply because they were lazy, irresponsible and did not value their precious pet. (2) His next owners were loving and wonderful people, but they experienced catastrophic illness.
Yes, Gatsby needed some rehabilitation and further training when he came to me, but now he is a loving, beautiful, mellow, obedient, loyal, patient, balanced pet who steals people’s hearts right and left. He helps enforce “pack rules” when I am caring for and training other dogs in my home. He loves people but is cautious, and he would defend me with his life! Bottom line: There are wonderful animals just waiting for adoption in a dog shelter. But you must be prudent, informed, and careful. Affairs of the heart can be grossly misleading if not curbed with knowledge, understanding, reason and competence to do what is best for the one you choose. In other words, don’t be a “softie.”
Yes, I am very much for checking your local shelter or a dog breed rescue organization to see if a certain dog steals your heart. Every dog deserves a second chance, provided he is safe for a home environment. Indeed, good dog shelter adoptions can bring joy to a family.
Abandoned dogs include both mutts and purebred dogs and puppies. In fact, some twenty-five to thirty percent of dogs abandoned at shelters are purebred. My Gatsby was one.
But don’t eschew the mixed breeds, either. I have owned some wonderful mixes. However, mixed breeds can have their own health problems and can of worms, too many to mention here. Just make sure they are mixes of compatible breeds, because conflicts in natural instincts can in some cases cause incurable psychological problems.
For example, Labradors and Golden Retrievers have the same mindset… but a homebody who wants to be with his people mixed with a rugged individualist runner, such as a Lab-Huskie mix, will cause inner turmoil for the hapless pet. The behavioral results of such emotional problems may be the reason a certain dog was left at the shelter in the first place!
When will people “get it?” Dogs are not THROW AWAY! You can’t just take them “for a test drive” then dump them again. Unlike the plastic toys, “Puppy in my pocket” and “Littlest Pet Shop,” dogs have feelings, and proper treatment of them and care for them DO matter. Your decision is a serious one.
Rescued dogs often have a bad name because of the conflicts and other factors mentioned above… and because people who adopt them often feel that they need to make up for the dog’s sad past. They try too hard to do that, through love instead of providing structure.
If you don’t go away with anything else, please remember this: After having a sad or horrific past, your shelter dog deserves a chance to be a normal dog. Only that will make him happy … not coddling, caving in, and other signs of your weakness. His comfort and security are derived from your strength, consistency, and guidance as a true leader. Be one!
If your dog is scared of something, make him face it. The fear will then go away. NOT addressing the problem leaves him IN the problem….
Remember too, many shelter dogs are great animals. Just choose wisely, and treat them like you would any dog … so they get to live a full and happy dog life! | <urn:uuid:e17cd260-17ab-460f-b48e-32ece82dae3b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://beedogs.com/about-dogs/shelter-dog-how-did-he-get-here | 2023-09-28T16:56:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.958155 | 1,020 |
Bottle Feeding a Puppy
In case of a precocious due to maternal abandonment or natural lactation impossibility, a bottle must be used. This form of bottle feeding a puppy must be exceptional and not prolonged more than necessary. Human bottles can be used for large breed puppies. For smaller puppies, it is best to check with the veterinarian, the pharmacist or a dog accessory retailer.
After weaning, a container adapted to the adult size of the animal will be chosen. I can be wooden, plastic or metal, and should be stable. Tall bowls (similar to salad bowls) have a reduced base, reason which it’s easier to tilt and the food end up in the ground. Also, models that are too flat, with low edges, are not adequate for the dog. Finally, owners living in cold areas (where exterior temperature is often 0° C) and whose dogs eat outside, should not choose a metallic bowl, since the action of cold against the dog’s tongue would cause it to stick to the container.
In case an owner should be absent during lunch time, he or she can turn to an automatic food dispatcher – that, due hygiene issues, should always be dry – . It is enough to program a time and amount for the ration and the device will take care of the rest.
For large dogs, it is convenient to place the container at the proper height. Stands offer more stability and prevent the containers from tipping over. It is not recommendable to use metallic bowls if the temperature is below 0° C. | <urn:uuid:5b4d3218-b6be-4fcd-b4e3-9ad706ee5770> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://beedogs.com/dog-care/bottle-feeding-a-puppy | 2023-09-28T16:43:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.93907 | 318 |

Easy Cheesy Green Pepper Dip
Hi there! It’s Carrie from Kenarry: Ideas for the Home here today as part of a new “Ideas for Your Kitchen” exchange Ashlyn and I are starting this month. Think of it like “Trading Spaces,” blog-style. Once a month, Ashlyn and I will swap places to bring you a new voice and a delicious new recipe. I absolutely love the recipes Ashlyn creates here at Belle of the Kitchen and am honored to be here in her place. Today I’m sharing my recipe for Green Pepper Dip, a great appetizer or snack for you to enjoy while watching football with friends this fall.
If you’re looking for Ashlyn, you’ll find her over at Kenarry today with her recipe for a delicious Gameday Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Ball. She’ll share it with you here in a few weeks, but if you’re anxious to try it sooner head over to Kenarry: Ideas for the Home to check it out!
Fall weather brings cooler temperatures, changing leaves and, of course, football. My husband, Kent, is a huge fan of the Seattle Seahawks. I don’t know hardly anything about sports, but I love to get together with friends and am a big fan of game day snacks and appetizers. We had an extra green pepper leftover from canning salsa so I thought it would be perfect to make into a cheesy appetizer we could enjoy while watching Sunday football. Thankfully, I had several events last month with family and friends who enjoy taste testing and giving feedback so I could perfect this Green Pepper Dip to share with you.
Green Pepper Dip is easy to make with just a handful of ingredients. I used beef for this recipe, but you could easily substitute ground turkey to make it a little healthier. The first time I made it, I actually browned the ground beef a day or two ahead of time, so I’d have less mess to clean up when I was making it for our party. You could also chop the green peppers in advance, so you’d just need to cook it all together and pop it in the oven before your guests arrive.
Easy Cheesy Green Pepper Dip
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon margarine
- 1 large green pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 - 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
- 8 ounce garden vegetable flavored cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded Italian cheese blend
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
- Brown the ground beef in a large skillet and drain.
- Chop the large green pepper into small pieces. You should have about 2 cups.
- Melt margarine in a large sauce pan.
- Add the green pepper and garlic. Saute for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove 1/4 cup of green pepper from the sauce pan and set aside for later.
- In the sauce pan, add the diced tomatoes and the ground beef you browned earlier and mix together with the green peppers. Cook for 5 more minutes.
- Now add the garden vegetable cream cheese to the green pepper mixture and stir continuously until the cheese has completely melted.
- Transfer the cheesy green pepper mixture into a lightly greased 9 x 9 or 1.5 qt oven safe baking dish.
- Sprinkle with shredded cheese and top with the sauteed green peppers you set aside earlier.
- Bake at 325 degrees for 5 minutes or until the shredded cheese has melted. Enjoy!
Serving Suggestions for Green Pepper Dip
As with any dip, there are numerous chips and crackers you can serve alongside of Green Pepper Dip. We especially love this Green Pepper Dip with Sea Salt Pretzel Chips. We’ve also had it with tortilla chips. It even reheats well to enjoy a few days later if you have leftovers.
If you enjoyed this Green Pepper Dip, please share it with your friends or pin it for later:

Happy Holidays Everyone!
Please Join Us For A Brainstorming Session In January!
To our dear volunteers, members, and supporters,
We usually have our volunteer meetings on the first Saturday of every month. In 2022, that happens to be the very first day of the year! So, we have decided to push the meeting back a week.
As you know from our last announcement, we have temporarily instituted a partial closure so that we can clean the space up, reorganize, and make room for newly donated tools and equipment. We could really use your help in the new year with our efforts to improve the Makerspace and get ready for Makerspace 2.0. Please attend our meeting on January 8, 2022 at 1 PM. Bring your thoughts and ideas about how we can improve the Makerspace for members, volunteers, and the public. We want to hear from you!
Thank you for your support. See you in the New Year!

Join Slack for up-to-the-minute volunteer information.
Slack is a real-time chat platform. It has the ability to do direct messages to other people, and has “channels” to keep different discussions separated — especially in the different areas like “events” and “electronics” and “retail” and “volunteers”. I don’t use Facebook or Twitter, and I was reluctant to add another communication channel. I get too much information already. However, using Slack for communication within the Makerspace puts all our ideas in one place. It also actually cuts down on the amount of email I have to filter. I certainly don’t read everything in every Slack channel, but I pay particular attention to the volunteer channel. So, from a reluctant adopter, I encourage you to sign up for our Slack channel.

Accident victims got some unexpected good news yesterday. A sweeping new law that will prevent most surprise medical bills was approved by Congress as part of pandemic-related legislation. The bill now moves to the President for approval. Bravo!
This has been a serious problem for many years. One of the biggest problems injured victims face comes weeks or even months later when they open their mail and find enormous surprise medical bills. This often happens because they have been treated by a hospital or doctor outside of their health insurance network so their company paid little, if any, money.
Of course, rarely. if ever. do people in emergency situations like car wrecks know in advance which providers will be paid.
This has resulted in an abusive practice called balance billing.
Further, victims have no idea that the hospital can charge any amount of money it wants to. We often see hospital bills exceeding ten thousand dollars due to treatment by multiple physicians and extensive diagnostic testing, not to mention huge costs for surgeries.
On the other hand, if the bills are in-network, there is no balance due, other that the co-pay and deductible.
Further adding to the financial stress, someone often has a health insurance plan but it claims that it is secondary and refuses to pay. In other casers, it eventually pays after a long delay, but then demands to be repaid in a process called subrogation.
To make matters worse, the at-fault driver’s liability company has no legal duty to pay the plaintiff’s medical bills up front, so it doesn’t pay until it knows all of the damages the injured victim has suffered and how much money they are demanding for compensation.
Surprise medical bills are a huge problem, especially in Texas where they are generated at two times the national average.
The new law will help hundreds of thousands of Americans every year.
Unfortunately, it does not take effect until January 1, 2022.
So after the surprise car crash and surprise medical treatment, the surprise medical bills will surprisingly be allowed to continue for a long time.
The bills for out-of-network services will now be based on what would be charged if the facility or professional were in-network. There will be process to resolve disputed claims.
Further, patients must be given estimates of the charges by out-of-network providers 72 hours in advance and be allowed to refuse to receive that care. But that places the injured person in a bind if he wants to use a certain surgeon or specialist.
Another surprise: ground ambulances, which can have the highest billing rates for any out-of-network facility, are exempt from the new guidelines. Rides to the hospital can easily cost $1,500.00. At least air ambulances will be governed by the new law and since their bills can exceed $50,o00.00, this is more welcome news.
Everyone, including health insurance company officials, hospitals, doctors, attorneys, and the U.S. Congress, have known for many years that surprise medical bills were abusive. But they are mailed out almost 90% of the time in some Texas cities.
This has resulted in endless collection notices, lawsuits, bankruptcies, and financial hardship. Yet it took years for the two political parties to reach this compromise.
Texas already banned some surprise medical bills
Texas surprisingly adopted one of the strongest anti-surprise medical bills laws in the country last year. SB 1242 created an arbitration process that forced the parties to resolve their disputes. However, it had a glaring exception which allowed the highly-priced out-of-network providers to force patients to agree to their bills.
Our state has had a medical dispute process for over ten years. However, it has been so popular that the system has been overwhelmed: Medical bills medication requests stun Texas officials
We know how horrible being in a car or truck collision is, and the last thing you need is to have to do is pay outrageous medical bills. A personal injury lawyer will attempt to cut down your medical expenses and liens held by hospitals, Medicare, Medicaid, and other entities.

Are you tired of sweating through your gaming sessions? Well, I’ve got some exciting news for you.
In this article, I will guide you through the process of making your gaming chair cooler. With a few simple upgrades and modifications, you’ll be able to enjoy your gaming sessions in comfort and style.
So, let’s dive in and explore the world of cooling technologies and accessories that can transform your gaming chair into a cool oasis.
Get ready to level up your gaming experience like never before!
- Evaluate the effectiveness of the current cooling system
- Explore options for upgrading the chair with built-in fans or ventilation holes
- Consider add-on accessories like cooling pads or cushions
- Incorporate breathable fabrics or mesh materials for upholstery
Assessing Your Gaming Chair’s Cooling Needs
First, you should assess if your gaming chair needs any cooling upgrades. Evaluating the effectiveness of your current cooling system is crucial in determining whether it needs improvement. Start by examining the existing cooling mechanism, such as built-in fans or ventilation holes. Is it providing sufficient cooling during long gaming sessions? If not, it’s time to consider suitable options to enhance the cooling capabilities of your chair.
Look for add-on accessories like cooling pads or cushions, which can help regulate temperature and keep you comfortable. Additionally, you may want to explore options like breathable fabrics or mesh materials for your chair’s upholstery, as they promote better airflow. By evaluating the effectiveness of your current cooling system and choosing suitable upgrades, you can ensure a cooler and more enjoyable gaming experience.
Transitioning into the next section about upgrading the chair’s ventilation system, let’s explore how to optimize airflow for maximum cooling.
Upgrading the Chair’s Ventilation System
To enhance the airflow in your chair, you can start by installing a USB-powered fan. This simple addition can greatly improve the comfort of your gaming experience. But before we dive into that, let’s take a moment to assess your chair’s comfort and the benefits of cooling systems.
|USB-powered fan||Improves airflow and reduces heat buildup|
|Cooling gel pads||Provides a cool sensation and prevents sweating|
|Mesh backrest||Enhances breathability and ventilation|
Installing Cooling Gel Pads on the Seat and Backrest
I’ve recently discovered the incredible benefits of installing cooling gel pads on the seat and backrest of my gaming chair.
Not only do these gel pads provide extra comfort and support, but they also help to regulate body temperature during long gaming sessions.
When it comes to installation, it’s important to ensure that the gel pads are properly positioned and secured for maximum effectiveness.
Additionally, I’ve found that measuring the cooling effectiveness of these gel pads can be done by monitoring the temperature of the chair surface before and after installation.
Gel Pad Benefits
If you want to make your gaming chair cooler, consider the benefits of using a gel pad. Not only does it provide comfort, but it also has several advantages that can enhance your gaming experience.
Here are four reasons why a gel pad is a great addition to your gaming chair:
Temperature regulation: The gel material in the pad helps to dissipate heat, keeping you cool during intense gaming sessions.
Pressure relief: The gel pad evenly distributes your body weight, reducing pressure on your back and buttocks, preventing discomfort and fatigue.
Enhanced support: The gel conforms to your body shape, providing optimal support and promoting proper posture, which is essential for long gaming sessions.
Easy installation: Gel pads are simple to install; just place them on the seat and backrest of your gaming chair, securing them with straps or adhesive.
By incorporating a gel pad into your gaming chair, you can enjoy the benefits of improved comfort, support, and temperature regulation.
Now, let’s move on to some installation tips to ensure a hassle-free process.
Now, let’s check out some tips for easily installing the gel pad onto your gaming chair. Assessing the installation process is crucial to ensure a proper fit and optimal cooling effectiveness. To maintain ventilation, follow these steps:
|Assess Ventilation||Proper Placement|
|Check for air vents or holes on the gel pad to allow airflow.||Place the gel pad on the seat or backrest of your gaming chair.|
|Ensure that the gel pad does not cover or block any existing ventilation features on your chair.||Adjust the position until it aligns with your body’s contact points.|
|If needed, trim or cut the gel pad to fit around any obstructions.||Secure the gel pad in place using the provided straps or adhesive, if applicable.|
Cooling Effectiveness Measurement
Now that we have installed our cooling solution onto the gaming chair, it’s important to assess the cooling requirements and evaluate the effectiveness of our setup.
To measure the cooling effectiveness, we can start by monitoring the temperature inside the chair during prolonged gaming sessions. This can be done using a digital thermometer or thermal imaging camera. By comparing the temperature readings before and after the installation, we can determine if the cooling solution is effectively reducing heat buildup.
Additionally, we can also evaluate the comfort level and overall gaming experience after implementing the cooling solution. If we notice a significant improvement in temperature regulation and comfort, then we can be confident in the effectiveness of our chosen cooling solution.
Now, let’s explore the next section, which involves incorporating a built-in fan system.
Incorporating a Built-in Fan System
To make your gaming chair cooler, consider incorporating a built-in fan system. This feature can greatly improve air circulation and help you stay comfortable during long gaming sessions.
When installing a cooling fan, there are a few tips to keep in mind. First, choose a fan that is specifically designed for chairs and has adjustable speed settings. This will allow you to customize the airflow based on your preferences.
Secondly, ensure that the fan is installed in a position that provides optimal cooling. Placing it near the backrest or on the seat cushion can help distribute air evenly across your body.
Lastly, consider a fan with a quiet operation to avoid any distractions while gaming. By incorporating a built-in fan system, you can enhance the cooling effect of your gaming chair.
This can be further improved by adding breathable mesh covers to enhance airflow.
Adding Breathable Mesh Covers to Enhance Airflow
Adding breathable mesh covers to your gaming chair can greatly enhance airflow and improve comfort during long gaming sessions. Breathable gaming chair cushions or cooling seat covers are designed to promote air circulation and prevent heat buildup, allowing you to stay cool and comfortable even during intense gaming marathons.
These covers are typically made of high-quality mesh materials that allow air to flow freely, effectively dissipating body heat and preventing sweat buildup. The breathable nature of these covers also helps to reduce moisture and odors, ensuring a fresh and hygienic gaming experience.
By incorporating breathable mesh covers into your gaming chair setup, you can create a more comfortable and cool environment for extended gaming sessions.
Now, let’s explore the next section on utilizing cooling seat cushions or covers.
Utilizing Cooling Seat Cushions or Covers
When it comes to staying cool and comfortable during long gaming sessions, there are three key points to consider. First, gel-infused cooling cushions provide a cooling sensation by absorbing and dissipating body heat. This ensures that you stay comfortable even during intense gaming sessions. Second, breathable mesh seat covers allow for increased airflow, preventing heat buildup and promoting ventilation. This helps to keep you cool and comfortable. Finally, temperature-regulating cooling technology actively regulates the temperature of the chair. This ensures that you stay cool and comfortable throughout your gaming experience.
Gel-Infused Cooling Cushions
You can enhance your gaming experience by using gel-infused cooling cushions to keep you comfortable and cool while playing. These innovative cushions are designed with temperature regulating technology, allowing them to absorb and dissipate body heat, keeping you cool even during intense gaming sessions. The gel-infused material provides a soothing sensation, relieving pressure points and promoting better circulation. With the added benefit of cooling properties, these cushions can help prevent discomfort and fatigue, allowing you to focus on your game for longer periods of time. Take a look at the table below to see some examples of gel-infused cooling cushions that are available in the market:
|Brand||Material||Cooling Technology||Price Range|
|Brand A||Gel-infused||Phase Change||$50-$100|
|Brand B||Gel Memory Foam||Airflow||$80-$150|
|Brand C||Gel Foam||Cooling Gel||$60-$120|
|Brand D||Gel Cushion||Heat Dissipation||$30-$80|
Now that we’ve explored the benefits of gel-infused cooling cushions, let’s move on to the next section about breathable mesh seat covers.
Breathable Mesh Seat Covers
To keep your gaming chair comfortable, consider using breathable mesh seat covers that promote air circulation and prevent overheating. Breathable fabric options are essential for maintaining a cool and comfortable gaming experience.
Mesh seat covers are made from a lightweight and breathable material that allows air to flow freely, preventing sweat build-up and keeping you cool during intense gaming sessions. These covers are designed to wick away moisture, ensuring that you stay dry and comfortable even during extended periods of use.
Additionally, mesh seat covers are durable and easy to clean, making them a practical choice for gamers.
By incorporating cooling seat materials like breathable mesh seat covers, you can enhance your gaming experience and stay cool even during the most intense gameplay sessions.
Now, let’s dive into the next section about temperature-regulating cooling technology.
Temperature-Regulating Cooling Technology
Using temperature-regulating cooling technology in your gaming setup can greatly improve comfort and prevent overheating. One effective way to achieve this is by incorporating cooling mattress pads into your gaming chair.
These pads are designed to regulate body temperature and provide a cool surface to sit on, enhancing your overall gaming experience.
Another option is to utilize cooling fabric technology, which is specifically designed to wick away moisture and heat from your body, keeping you cool and comfortable during long gaming sessions.
By using these advanced cooling technologies, you can say goodbye to sweaty and uncomfortable gaming sessions, allowing you to focus on your gameplay without any distractions.
Now, let’s explore how you can implement cooling technologies for your armrests to further enhance your gaming chair’s cooling capabilities.
Implementing Cooling Technologies for Armrests
Once you’ve chosen the cooling technology, it’s time to start implementing it in the armrests of your gaming chair.
One option is to use gel infused armrests, which are designed to provide a cool and comfortable surface to rest your arms on while gaming. These armrests contain a gel material that absorbs and dissipates heat, keeping your arms cool even during intense gaming sessions.
Another option is to use cooling armrest covers, which are specially designed covers that can be placed over your existing armrests. These covers typically utilize cooling technologies such as airflow channels or cooling gels to provide a refreshing and cool sensation.
By incorporating these cooling technologies into your gaming chair’s armrests, you can ensure a more comfortable and enjoyable gaming experience.
Speaking of comfort, enhancing cooling with adjustable lumbar support…
Enhancing Cooling With Adjustable Lumbar Support
If you’re looking to increase comfort while keeping cool, consider adding adjustable lumbar support to your gaming chair.
Adjustable lumbar support offers numerous benefits, making it a valuable addition to your gaming setup. Not only does it provide targeted support to your lower back, but it also allows you to customize the level of support based on your preferences.
By adjusting the lumbar support, you can find the perfect position that aligns your spine and reduces strain on your back. This not only enhances comfort during long gaming sessions but also promotes better posture and reduces the risk of back pain.
In addition, many gaming chairs offer various customization options for the lumbar support, such as adjustable height or firmness, allowing you to fine-tune it to your liking. By incorporating adjustable lumbar support, you can optimize your gaming chair for maximum comfort and support.
Now, let’s explore how you can further enhance the cooling experience by integrating cooling features in headrests or pillows.
Integrating Cooling Features in Headrests or Pillows
By incorporating cooling features in the headrest or pillows, you can enhance the comfort and coolness of your gaming experience.
When it comes to cooling pillow options, there are a few key features to consider. Look for pillows that are made with breathable materials, such as mesh or gel-infused memory foam. These materials promote airflow and help dissipate heat, keeping you cool during intense gaming sessions. Additionally, some cooling pillows offer adjustable cooling settings, allowing you to customize the level of coolness to your preference.
As for cooling headrest features, look for chairs that have built-in fans or ventilation systems. These features work by circulating air around your head and neck, providing a refreshing breeze. By incorporating these cooling options in your gaming chair, you can stay comfortable and cool for hours on end.
Now, let’s explore additional cooling accessories for gaming chairs.
Exploring Additional Cooling Accessories for Gaming Chairs
When it comes to staying cool while gaming, there are a few additional cooling accessories that can enhance your comfort in a gaming chair.
Portable USB fans are a great option for providing a continuous flow of cool air directly to your body.
Cooling gel cushions are another excellent choice, as they help regulate body temperature by absorbing heat and providing a cooling sensation.
Lastly, breathable mesh covers can help improve air circulation and prevent sweat buildup, ensuring a more comfortable and enjoyable gaming experience.
Portable USB Fans
Adding portable USB fans to your gaming chair can provide a cool breeze during intense gaming sessions. These compact fans are designed to be easily attached to your chair, ensuring that you stay cool and comfortable even during long gaming marathons. The convenience of USB power means that you can easily connect the fan to your computer or gaming console, eliminating the need for batteries or additional power sources.
To give you an idea of the different options available, here is a table showcasing some popular portable USB fans for gaming chairs:
|FanXpert||Adjustable speed settings, 360-degree rotation||$29.99|
|ChillTech||Whisper-quiet operation, LED lighting||$39.99|
|CoolBreeze||Foldable design, portable and easy to store||$24.99|
In the next section, we will explore another cooling accessory for gaming chairs: cooling gel cushions. These cushions provide additional comfort and help regulate body temperature during long gaming sessions.
Cooling Gel Cushions
To enhance your comfort while gaming, you can consider using cooling gel cushions for your chair. These cushions are designed to provide a cooling effect, keeping you cool and comfortable during long gaming sessions.
Gel pad alternatives are available in the market, offering a variety of options to suit your specific needs. These cushions are filled with a gel substance that absorbs and dissipates heat, providing a cooling sensation. They are easy to use, simply place them on your chair and sit back for a refreshing gaming experience.
In addition to gel cushions, you can also explore cooling seat covers that offer similar benefits. These covers are made from breathable materials that allow air to circulate, preventing heat buildup. So, whether you choose gel cushions or cooling seat covers, you can enjoy a cooler and more comfortable gaming experience.
Now, let’s move on to the next section about breathable mesh covers.
Breathable Mesh Covers
For a more comfortable gaming experience, consider using breathable mesh covers on your chair. These covers are made from breathable fabric options that allow air to circulate, keeping you cool during long gaming sessions.
The mesh material is designed to be lightweight and airy, preventing heat buildup and promoting ventilation. These covers also provide a comfortable seating surface by distributing your weight evenly and reducing pressure points.
Additionally, they are easy to clean and maintain, making them a practical choice for gamers. When choosing a breathable mesh cover, look for options that are specifically designed for gaming chairs and provide durable construction.

The Law Offices of Kevin S. Neiman provides specialized law services to those facing a range of financial issues both at the personal and commercial levels. The firm’s speciality lies in chapter 11 bankruptcy cases and chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation cases. Additionally, the Law Offices of Kevin S. Nieman provides services in other practice areas serving clients in corporate, real estate, construction, and labor law.
Kevin Neiman has practiced law since 1996, helping a number of clients navigate a series of legal issues. While his career started in Florida, Neiman has completed most of his cases in Colorado. Neiman received his Bachelor of Science from Bradley University and his law degree from the University of Miami in 1996. Neiman’s qualifications include admission under the Colorado State Bar, United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit; United States District Court, District of Colorado; and the United States District Court, SOuthern District of Florida.
From 1996 to 2005, Neiman practiced bankruptcy law in the state of Florida helping prominent financial clients. In 2005, Neiman made the transition to Denver in an effort to offer boutique business and bankruptcy services. Neiman officially branched out on his own in 2015 to offer the services in the same practice area.
One of the most important aspects when evaluating a law firm is analyzing the practice areas in which it offers services. This is due to the fact that an individual seeking legal advice wants a lawyer that understands the ins and outs of a particular set of laws. At the Law Offices of Kevin S. Nieman, the following practice areas are offered:
While the focus and specialty of the Law Offices of Kevin S. Nieman centers around bankruptcy law, the firm is able to take on cases involving and addressing a number of other legal and financial needs.
While the specific costs and pricing for particular services is not necessarily disclosed, the general pricing structure that the Law Offices of Kevin S. Nieman uses is publicly disclosed. Not many law firms are willing to publicly disclose this kind of pricing information, but the Nieman firm does.
On average, the Law Offices of Kevin S. Nieman claims to offer more affordable and flexible hourly rates than competitors within the Denver market. Specifically for chapter 7 bankruptcy needs, the firm will charge a flat rate and a filing fee. The flat rate will vary depending on the complications associated with the case (like whether or not it is an individual or corporate case) and how much debt is at stake. For cases where examinations and contested matters come into play, the firm will charge an hourly rate.
In an effort to bolster firm capacities and capabilities, the Law Offices of Kevin S. Nieman have a professional relationship with Denver-based Glade Voogt Lopez Felser & Smith, PC to provide special counsel. Glade Voogt Lopez Felser & Smith has serviced the Denver area for over five decades and offers special legal services in the following areas:
Not all law firms take the initiative to create these professional relationships and contract out special counsel, but the Law Offices of Kevin S. Nieman has done just that to better serve clients of varying legal needs.
Most law practices will limit legal services strictly to its offered practice areas. If a client needs any sort of help just outside the realm of practice areas, most firms will turn them away. That is not the case with the Law Offices of Kevin S. Nieman. Clients who do not fit the perfect description of certain practice areas but need help in related fields can still be eligible for legal services through the firm.
On a case-by-case basis, the Law Offices of Kevin S. Nieman will consider providing legal help in other areas of law in conjunction with its special counsel partner. These exceptions can be made if the firm truly believes it can be a legal asset.
Due to the nature of state-by-state bar requirements, not many law firms offer services on a broad scale ranging from coast to coast. There are undoubtedly some providers who meet this criteria, but more often than not, a law firm will be limited to a certain state or region of states to abide by all requirements.
While the Law Offices of Kevin S. Nieman has tried cases in the state of Florida; the transition to practicing law in Colorado has forced the firm to solely focus on cases in the greater Denver area. This limits the geographic service area that the Law Offices of Kevin S. Nieman can provide services in.
While various legal firms provide a number of different legal services, the reality is that the size of a legal practice directly influences the caseload that can be taken on. The bigger the firm, generally the more clients and cases that firm can handle. That is why some clients in need of legal assistance are drawn to the larger firms in terms of capacity.
One of the only downsides of the Law Offices of Kevin S. Nieman is the size of the practice. That is why the firm has developed a relationship with special counsel to offer a number of services. Since the firm is relatively small, its ability to take on a larger caseload is not on par with the larger firms in the same space. | <urn:uuid:2282b0ef-df77-476d-bc55-dcfd493fe7b7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://bestcompany.com/bankruptcy/company/law-offices-of-kevin-s-neiman | 2023-09-28T18:14:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.943917 | 1,065 |

When you are looking for eyewear, you need to consider two things – style and function. The function comes from your eye doctor’s prescription, and the style is due to the frame. You should choose prescription lenses frames that work well with your personal style and facial shape. Additionally, you need to make sure the frames you choose are compatible with your lenses prescription.
There are many different brands and styles of eyeglasses. You may prefer light or heavy frames, square or round lenses, or bright or dark frame colors. Maybe you want a new, trendy style, or maybe you prefer a more traditional frame. No matter what your style is, there is a frame design that can work for you. You will probably wear your glasses every day, so it is worth the time to find a pair of frames you love.
Consider Designer Frames
While you may be tempted to save money and pick generic frames, there are several benefits to choosing designer prescription lenses frames. High-end designer frames are where you can find the latest trending styles, as well as advanced technology for super-light glasses or even rimless glasses. You want your eyewear to make a statement and work with your fashion style, so choosing designer frames is the way to go.
Why You Should Shop Online
The best thing about shopping for prescription lenses frames online is having access to countless designers, styles, colors, and customization options. You can find the latest technology for frames so light you might even forget you are wearing them. By shopping online, you can have your glasses sent straight to your door, often with free shipping. Oftentimes you can find better prices and deals from an online retailer than your optometrist’s office or a local retail shop. Next time you need glasses, check out an online retailer and enjoy the great selection and prices. | <urn:uuid:4a4f5ca6-319a-42d0-8484-abe213f2e9a8> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://bestonlinebuy.org/finding-stylish-prescription-lenses-frames/ | 2023-09-28T18:13:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.928731 | 375 |
You’ve hired your first influencer and have received a draft of her initial promotion, a review of your product for her social media followers.
This is “Part 7” of my influencer marketing series. I’ve covered what it is, why use it, setting relevant goals, picking the right channels, targeting influencers, and convincing those influencers to promote your product.
In this post, I’ll address how to analyze and utilize the work of your influencers.
Before moving forward with the influencer’s first promotion, make sure the basics are covered.
- Did the influencer tag your company or reference your URLs? Missing information is usually the big culprit here, such as neglecting to use your landing page URL or properly tagging the brand. This is almost always fixable.
- Is the influencer’s review accurate? Everyone loves glowing reviews, but they need to be grounded in reality. Be wary of outrageous claims and false advertising that might draw the attention of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission or other governing bodies. Factual, positive reviews are what you need.
- Did the influencer miss a key piece of the project? Mistakes happen, but you have a valid reason to request revisions if, for instance, you agreed to buy an Instagram story and were instead delivered a static image post. But an influencer providing an honest review that you disagree with is not grounds to request a revision.
Merchants sometimes use influencers to drive awareness and demand. This type of compulsion marketing is often part of a broader campaign, with multiple influencer types, social ads retargeting, and drip email campaigns.
In that scenario, an overall strategy could:
- Retain an authoritative YouTube influencer to create a long, educational video.
- Dissect segments of that video into Instagram stories posted by aspirational influencers with a brief intro on how useful the product or service appears to be.
- Embed the original YouTube video in a series of relevant blog posts that also link to your brand, which helps with organic search rankings in Google and on YouTube.
- Use peer-level influencers from target buyer personas to tweet links to the blog posts and Instagram stories.
- Place an email capture form on your landing page that you push into an email drip campaign that intersperses product content with influencer testimonials.
- Repurpose the best social influencer posts into Twitter and Facebook ads, retargeting prospects that visited the site but didn’t purchase.
Inevitably you’ll need more campaigns, but the question is whether to use the same influencers. Solve the dilemma with a decision matrix.
Unique product. Are you seeking new reviews of the same product? There are advantages to using the same influencer on a new (but related) product so long as the ideal audience is represented. An example is an influencer reviewing lipstick in the first review and mascara in the second. It builds brand affinity.
Unique with change. Perhaps you are looking for reviews on the same product that’s been updated. The best influencers for this scenario are those that provided a neutral-to-unfavorable review, and you then incorporated their suggestions into the new iteration. There are no greater advocates than those who feel the brand listened to their feedback. In this instance, use the same influencer.
Habitual. Is the product purchased frequently (i.e., consumables such as food, drink, and cosmetics)? The more habitual the product, the more benefit in using the same influencers for branding.
Ideal audience. Consider reusing the original influencer if he delivered your target audience, especially if you can get a price break. However, only work with influencers that can improve your chance of success.
Repetition benefit. Some products and services are complex and involve multiple touchpoints from a prospect to close the sale. This tends to be industry-specific. If you’re selling a complicated item or deploying retargeting ads extensively, chances are there’s a repetition benefit, which means using the same influencers is likely helpful.
New discovery. This is related to your ideal audience. You may eventually find there are more and better buyer persona fits in the available pool of influencers. This requires an awareness of the evolving market for your products or services. If the pool of influencers targets roughly the same persona, there’s little benefit in switching. But if alternative influencers appeal to new, promising personas, make the change. | <urn:uuid:cfa548ae-987c-481c-83c0-5ab9e26825f6> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://besttech247.com/influencer-marketing-part-7-your-first-campaign/ | 2023-09-28T18:51:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.912593 | 970 |
The best pie recipes of all time. The best fruit pies, the best chocolate pies, the best unique pie recipes all in one place. If you’re looking for some pie-spiration for your next gathering, you’ve come to the right place.
I know that no one wants to turn on their oven during the summer, but I can’t resist baking pie. I love fresh, seasonal fruit pies in the summer, and rich, creamy, decadent pies in the fall and winter. Pies are an awesome way to get creative, and showcase the season. Plus, they’re super portable so they’re great to bring to any type of gathering. Did you know that having a pie-bar at events is a thing now? You could assign every person on your guest list one of these pies and try them all! Ok, that might be a little much but at least everyone would find something they love.
My in-laws are big chocolate pie fans, while my brother loves pumpkin pie. I’m a blueberry or peach pie kind of gal, and The Hubs loves a cream pie. I think everyone in America loves apple pie. I’ve scoured the internet to find you the most amazing, mind-blowing, delectable pie recipes that are out there. From chocolate, to mint to fresh fruit, there’s a pie recipe here that everyone will enjoy.

Washington, D.C. (Oct. 22, 2014) — A new poll released today by the Better World Campaign finds that voters recognize that a strong partnership between the U.S. and the United Nations is essential to addressing the toughest challenges facing our world today.
“As pressing international issues such as the Ebola outbreak and the terrorist threat posed by ISIL continue to dominate headlines, these poll results paint a clear picture,” said Peter Yeo, Executive Director of the Better World Campaign, “Americans recognize that the toughest global challenges require both international coordination and collaboration – and working through the UN is the best avenue to accomplish this.”
The survey of 800 voters found that a remarkable 92 percent of Americans believe it is important for the UN to “take the lead in efforts to contain and resolve the Ebola outbreak in West Africa.” In addition, 89 percent of voters believe “it is essential for the WHO and CDC to work together to contain and resolve the outbreak.”
“Diseases don’t know borders or party lines, and voters recognize the global nature of the Ebola outbreak,” said Yeo. “An overwhelming majority of Americans support a robust U.S.-UN partnership to tackle the Ebola crisis and other major international challenges.”
In addition, as the attention of the U.S. and the rest of the world remains focused on the Ebola outbreak, voters believe that a strong partnership between the U.S. and the UN is more critical than ever. 87 percent of Americans agree that it is important “for the United States to maintain an active role within the United Nations.” Moreover, 79 percent of voters say “it’s better to work through major allies and international organizations than to act mainly on our own.”
“Simply put, the U.S. cannot bear all the burden or afford to go it alone – and the majority of the American public agrees that we should work in partnership with the UN,” said Yeo.
The nationwide poll of likely voters was conducted October 9-15 by the bipartisan research team of Public Opinion Strategies and Hart Research Associates with a margin of error of ± 3.46 percent. Other notable findings include:
Majorities of Republicans, Independents, and Democrats support the U.S. paying our UN general dues and 72 percent of voters support paying our Peacekeeping dues on time and in full.
66 percent of voters say the UN has been supportive of U.S. objectives around the world.
The UN’s favorability rating is 58 percent. By contrast, only 28 percent of voters gave Congress a favorable rating.

The Better World Campaign works to foster a strong relationship between the U.S. and the UN to promote core American interests and build a more secure, prosperous, and healthy world.

Water is an important part of our overall health and well-being, including maintaining good oral health. You may have heard of the “cardinal rule” that we should drink six to eight 8-ounce glasses of water per day. While drinking water is essential, we can also increase our water intake through the foods we consume. In this blog we’ll explore the best ways to consume water through food, providing practical tips for maximizing hydration, and promoting oral health.
Choose Hydrating Fruits and Vegetables
Having a variety of hydrating fruits and vegetables in your diet like watermelon, oranges, cantaloupe, grapefruits, and strawberries have high water content and are excellent sources of hydration. Like fruits, vegetables such as cucumber, carrots, spinach, and broccoli are hydrating options. Including these foods in your meals and snacks can help your overall water intake and promote oral health by stimulating saliva production, which helps neutralize acids and protect against tooth decay.
Choose Soups and Broths
Including soups and broths in your diet is a flavorful way to increase water consumption through food. Clear soups, vegetable soups, and broths are not only hydrating but also provide essential nutrients. They can be enjoyed as a light meal or a warm, comforting snack. Most soups are 92% water based. Soups tend to be loaded with salt, which helps the body retain water. Include a variety of vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains to make them more nutritious.
Incorporate Whole Grains
Whole grains, such as brown rice, quinoa, oats, and whole wheat bread, can aid in increasing water intake through food. These grains have higher water content compared to refined grains. When cooked or prepared with water, they absorb moisture, releasing it slowly during digestion and contributing to overall hydration. Including whole grains in your diet not only adds dietary fiber but also provides sustained hydration, which is beneficial for oral health.
Enjoy Hydrated Proteins
Protein-rich foods, such as tofu, lean meats, fish, and eggs, can contribute to water intake when prepared using hydration-friendly cooking methods. For instance, steaming, poaching, or grilling instead of frying or roasting can help retain more moisture in the cooked protein. Marinating proteins before cooking can also add flavor and moisture. Including these hydrated protein sources in your diet helps maintain muscle health, promotes satiety, and contributes to overall hydration.
While drinking water is an important and quick way to add hydration to your body, incorporating water-rich foods into your diet can further contribute to your overall water intake and may be easier than sitting around with a large water jug. By choosing hydrating fruits and vegetables, enjoying soups and broths, incorporating whole grains, and opting for hydrated proteins, you can maximize your water consumption through food and maintain a nutritious diet.
This approach not only supports hydration but is crucial for maintaining good oral health. Sufficient hydration helps to keep your mouth moist and promotes saliva production, which helps with various oral functions. Saliva helps to wash away food particles left in your mouth and in between your teeth, reduces acids, and maintains a healthy balance of beneficial bacteria in the mouth. When your body is dehydrated, saliva production decreases, which may cause dry mouth, bad breath (yuk), and tooth decay. Staying hydrated throughout the day can ensure a healthy saliva flow, which aids in remineralizing tooth enamel, reducing the risk of cavities, and promoting overall oral well-being. So, prioritizing hydration is key to maintaining a beautiful and healthy smile.

Renewable energy is available even if you don’t have your own renewable energy source like solar panels. Fifteen of Kentucky’s Touchstone Energy Cooperatives offer their owner-members the opportunity to support solar, wind, biomass, and hydro electric energy sources by simply participating in the envirowatts program.
The envirowatts program allows owner-members to buy renewable energy in $2.75 portions with no maximum. The program also allows you to choose which energy source you want to support, or you can buy portions of each. It’s up to you.
By using envirowatts, you can offset your carbon footprint by thousands of pounds each month. For example, just one $2.75 portion of wind-created energy purchased through envirowatts offsets nearly 5,000 pounds of carbon dioxide. That’s the equivalent of removing emissions from 253 gallons of gasoline or the greenhouse gas emissions from 5,595 miles per year driven by an average passenger vehicle.
Signing up for envirowatts is simple. Just go to envirowattsky.com and sign up. While you’re there, you can learn more about what Kentucky’s Touchstone Energy Cooperatives are doing to offer owner-members sustainable, affordable energy, and what options they have for going green. You can learn more about renewable energy resources, where the power comes from and how it’s made.
By using the envirowatts program, you can offset your carbon footprint affordably each month. It’s quick and simple way to give back to the environment.

Undeclared allergens are one of the most common reasons for a food product to be recalled. It can happen for any number of reasons, but all of them are totally preventable if a manufacturer has everything in order. I mean, you just need the food to make it into the correct packaging and have that packaging list the correct ingredients. Simple, right? Apparently not, because we have yet another recall for the same issue, and this time it’s the ever-popular Trader Joe’s brand that is at the center of it.
In a new recall bulletin posted by the FDA, Snak King Corporation of California announces the recall of Trader Joe’s Restaurant Style White Corn Tortilla Chips that were across a whopping 23 states. The chips were sold in plastic packaging that fails to note that milk is one of the ingredients. Milk is a potentially harmful allergen for some people, and those with a sensitivity to milk may experience life-threatening allergic reactions if they were to consume the product accidentally, without realizing that milk was present.
Here’s what the recall has to say:
Snak King Corporation of City of Industry, CA is voluntarily recalling 9 ounce packages of “Trader Joe’s Restaurant Style White Corn Tortilla Chips” with a sell by date of 08/09/21 and 08/10/21 due to a potential of an undeclared milk allergen. People who have an allergy or sensitivity to milk may risk serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product.
The chips were sold in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Washington DC, Delaware, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, New Jersey, New Mexico, Nevada, New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Washington. That’s a pretty massive recall.
The bags are 9 ounces and have “sell by” dates of 8/09/21 through 8/11/21. The company says it has not received any reports of illness as a result of someone eating the mislabeled chips. The company is asking that anyone who purchased the recalled food return it to the store where they purchased it for a full refund. You can also contact the company:
Consumers with questions may contact the company Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00PM Pacific at 626-363-7711.
One interesting thing about the recall is that it doesn’t actually say what problem led to the chips not having the proper labeling. In many cases, when a product is recalled due to an undeclared allergen it’s due to the food being placed in the incorrect packaging. That doesn’t appear to be the case here, as the bags clearly state the correct name of the food product and, presumably, were being used well before this recall with no issue. Somewhere along the line, the declaration of milk as an ingredient disappeared and now the food is recalled nationwide. | <urn:uuid:e10c99f7-7b06-4677-b9b1-88fef03f96f2> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://bgr.com/science/food-recall-trader-joes-chips/ | 2023-09-28T18:50:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.954935 | 619 |

VAC Presents ‘From the Summons of Art’
The Volcano Art Center is preparing for a month-long exhibit, entitled “From the Summons of Art,” that will be held at the Volcano Art Center Gallery within Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park.
Artwork by Patti Pease Johnson will be the solo feature.
“To light people up with the colors of life” is Johnson’s mission. With her use of rich silk, clay, pastels, and watercolor creations, many would say that’s just what she does.
Johnson has a way of taking the viewer on a multimedia excursion as she explores the colors and shapes of Hawai’i’s splendor, pushing the limits by working with challenging combinations.
An opening reception will be held from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the gallery on Feb. 21, and Johnson’s work will be available to view from 9 a.m. through 5 p.m. daily until March 22. | <urn:uuid:8fc5674b-1789-4a6c-b3f6-a542768bb5ea> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://bigislandnow.com/2015/02/20/vac-presents-from-the-summons-of-art/ | 2023-09-28T16:58:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.947571 | 221 |

The lithium ion battery requires about two hours to charge to 50% and the PowerPack 500 takes approx. 4.5 hours to charge with the Bosch Standard Charger. Under favorable conditions, loaded and combined with the Performance Line Cruise, it can travel up to 90 kilometers.
What more could you want? The new PowerTube 625 lets you enjoy long, mountainous rides while reserving plenty of power for every adventure. Thanks to a nominal capacity of 16.7 Ah and an energy content of approx. 625 Wh, this lithium-ion battery puts maximum autonomy and altitudes at your fingertips. The PowerTube 625 is securely attached and does not slip out of its housing, even on rough terrain. Still easy to remove.
Bosch chargers are practical, light and robust. The housings do not have ventilation slots, to prevent dirt from entering. Wherever the journey takes you: With the 2A Compact Charger, 4A Standard Charger or 6A Fast Charger, Bosch has developed three models that will charge your eBike quickly and safely.
The Compact Charger is the ideal charger for all eBikers who travel a lot. It weighs less than 600 grams and is 40% less bulky than the Standard Charger. The Compact Charger can also be used in the USA, Canada and Australia with mains voltages of 110 to 230 Volts.
The robust, functional 4 A Standard Charger is the all-rounder among Bosch chargers. It off ers the ideal balance of performance, weight and size and is extremely versatile.
The Fast Charger is currently the fastest eBike charger in its class and will recharge the eBike battery in the shortest possible time. After just three hours, the powerful PowerTube 500 or PowerPack 500 are fully recharged. The Fast Charger needs just over one hour to charge a battery to 50% capacity. This makes it the perfect charger for fast recharging while on a trip. The Fast Charger is ideal for eBikes that are often used and frequently charged.

Beginning in October 2020, displaced Canadian workers have two options to continue receiving income support. For people with financial flexibility and spare cash, creating passive income is the third option.
Transition to EI
If you received CERB through Service Canada, the transition to the retooled Employment Insurance (EI) system is automatic. However, you must apply for EI if your Social Insurance Number (SIN) starts with a “9,” you’re self-employed or declared in your CERB report that you returned to work full-time.
If you received CERB from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) but eligible for EI, you must receive all your CERB payments before applying. For new EI claims between September 27, 2020 and September 25, 2021, the minimum benefit rate is $500 weekly or $300 per week for extended parental benefits, net of applicable taxes. Your EI claim can last a minimum of 26 weeks up to a maximum of 45 weeks.
Apply for CERB
If you were receiving CERB before but did not qualify for EI, you could apply for the Canada Recovery Benefit (CRB). The taxable benefit is also $2,000 per month ($1,000 payment every two weeks). Unlike CERB, the CRA will deduct the tax due upon release.
The program period is retroactive to September 27, 2020 and available until September 25, 2021. Instead of 28 weeks, the maximum period is up to 26 weeks. The order conditions to qualify are you stopped working, or your employment and self-employment income dropped by at least 50% due to COVID-19. | <urn:uuid:49af00cc-afb1-4685-91f4-e8638a21af7c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://bilalcommunitycentre.ca/2020/10/22/cerb-substitutes/ | 2023-09-28T18:15:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.967911 | 351 |
Cao Gio is one such East Asian therapy that can cure several minor ailments and discomforts straightforwardly and effectively. The best part of the treatment is its simplicity, wherein anyone within a matter of a few minutes can learn and execute the therapy.
Can you believe that backache can be cured by just using a coin? A coin can relieve chronic shoulder pain. It is not magic, but the wisdom of old human civilizations to cure aches and day-to-day ailments without much fuss.
Unlike the medicines, the Cao Gio comes with no long-term reactions or side effects. Learn everything about this safe and effective therapy now and lead a pain-free life.
What is Cao Gio and where does it come from?
Cao Gio is a very popular Vietnamese, ethnomedicine, practiced for thousands of years now. As the Vietnamese belief goes, the ‘wind’ in the blood is responsible for all pains and ailments of the body.
Cao Gio is a Vietnamese word (pronounced gow yaw). It means ‘Catch the wind.’ in English. The wind here represents the ‘bad wind’ that has gone into the blood, and the Cao Gio therapy catches that wind from the blood and throws it out of the body. That is the therapeutic secret of Cao Gio.
Despite the substantial similarity with Chinese Gua Sha, it has its peculiarities and identity. Many consider Gua Sha and Cao Gio to be the same. They belong to the joint stable of ancient Southeastern traditional and ethnic medicines but retain regional or localized subtleties.
How does Cao Gio work?
In this therapy, the skin gets scraped in a particular way. The scraping brings the bad wind of the blood just under the surface of the skin. From there, it escapes through the pathways (abrasive bruises) created by scraping the skin.
In Cao Gio, the only tool used for dermabrasion (scraping of skin) is a coin, and hence it is also colloquially known as ‘coining.’ Any handy currency coin used. The only requirement is that the edges should be smooth to prevent cuts on the skins. However, in Gua Sha, many tools are used depending on which body part needs treatment.
Many consider a ‘silver coin’ to be more effective, but any coin will do till the time it does not cut the skin.
Some warm oil also applied to the affected area. Further, with the help of the coin, the skin is scraped in long strokes. The strokes are made parallel to one another. It should be unidirectional, going outward.
Unidirectional here means the scraping motion should be only in one direction, and that is, inwards to outwards. The oil serves as a lubricant for one, and the other benefit is these oils also have medicinal properties, which aids the therapy.
The most popular oil used are peppermint oil, wintergreen oil, eucalyptus oil, and camphor-based oil. Tiger balm is also very popular because of its pain-relieving properties.
These coin scrapings result in ecchymosis (linear discoloration of skin because of bleeding underneath.) The blood from the squashed capillaries leaks out and spread just beneath the skin surface. It is here that the bad wind from the flowing blood escapes out from the skin along the length of a bruise. That is the therapeutic action according to ancient medical science. Post Cao Gio treatment, the patient carries these linear bruises for a couple of days, and then it goes off on its own.
Modern science may not believe in such an explanation, without proper evidence. Still, the Vietnamese have been using Cao Gio for ages to relieve body and muscular pains, joint pains, and general lethargy. They vouch it is equally effective in treating cold, fever, liver, kidney, and such other ailments.
Does Cao Gio hurt?
Applying the correct method and pressure, Cao Gio is completely safe. If you are having Cao Gio first time without any experience, start applying with small pressure and gradually increase the coining pressure when you feel comfortable about it.
Cao Gio deliberately causes bruising, which may cause discomfort for some people. These red or purple bruises are a healthy sign that the body is getting rid of the “bad wind” and it should recover within a few days.
Advantages of Cao Gio therapy
Cao Gio is a part of Vietnamese tradition and culture, and people with these red/ purple bruises share some strange kind of fraternity bonds.
This therapy is very popular in treating the back, chest, shoulder, arms, and legs. Cao Gio sets the negative energy free from the body. Bereft of the negative energy, the body gradually heals itself in a couple of days, and the disease or the pain disappears, without any medications or complicated medical treatments.
Its simplicity and low cost (almost zero cost), have made it hugely popular among the Vietnamese. Also, the Vietnamese had carried this therapy and tradition with them when they traveled to other parts of the world. That is how Cao Gio gained interest and popularity in the USA and Europe.
Essentially Cao Gio is therapy under the TVM (Traditional Vietnamese Medicine). Like Traditional Chinese medicine, Traditional Vietnamese Medicine also has ancient ethnic medical practices and procedures as a part of it. Many believe that TVM evolved out of TCM. That may be right, considering that the Chinese civilization is much older than most of the cultures of the world.
Coining massage with a spoon
Some practitioners of Cao Gio use inverted soup spoons instead of coins as a scraping tool. The soup spoon has a better hold and grip and is easy to move relative to the currency coin.
For areas like the shoulder and neck where precise movement control is necessary to make the right stroke, the spoon is a better tool. Holding the coin pinched between the fingers for too long may be painful and inconvenient, and the alternative is a spoon. Since it is metallic, there is always a fear that the coin may cut the skin. However, with the spoon, this will not happen.
Though the tool changes from coin to a spoon but the therapeutic process remains absolutely the same. The therapy, as well as its benefits, stay the same.
The idea behind using day-to-day, easy-to-find objects as tools of massage is to ensure unhindered administration of therapy and not to depend on any specialized tools.
Cao Gio can also combine with cupping massage. Learn more about the benefits of cupping massage.

As often said that the Human body design is such to take care of itself. All that is needed to keep it fit and efficient is already there in the body. The ancient therapies have been based on the simple fact that we just need to initiate or trigger those curative properties of the body. And most of the disorders can be cured. Cao Gio is one of the ways to trigger the self-curative feature of the body. | <urn:uuid:46fd8a3a-150b-40fb-8f80-6481526a7967> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://binomassage.com/blog/cao-gio/ | 2023-09-28T17:56:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.946002 | 1,572 |
Cawood began by noting that WuXi Advanced Therapies supports clients throughout their journeys toward
developing cell and gene therapies. With the acquisition of the UK-based contract research organization (CRO) Oxgene and its adenoassociated virus (AAV) and lentivirus platforms (known as the TESSA and LentiVEX platforms/technologies, respectively), WuXi Advanced Therapies now can scale processes up to good manufacturing practice (GMP) manufacturing through to commercial supply.
After describing the work that takes place in different company locations, Cawood focused on the TESSA technology, which provides a plasmid-free alternative for large-scale clinical manufacturing. Most AAV manufacturing is based on plasmid transfection. Not only are such processes expensive, but transfection can occur only at a certain cell density. Adenovirus can be used to manufacture AAV, and such processes are easy to scale up. However, they yield as much adenovirus as AAV, creating major downstream purification issues and raising product-contamination concerns. The goal of the TESSA technology is to use an adenoviral vector to manufacture AAV without contaminating the preparation. In the early phase of the adenoviral life cycle, genes in the AAV helper plasmid are expressed by cells to manufacture both AAV and adenovirus. But in late phases of the cycle, those genes induce cells to make unwanted adenovirus. The TESSA technology is designed to close down all of those late genes.
Cawood described how TESSA technology regulates the promoter that drives expression of structural proteins. The adenovirus titer is determined by the promoter that it represses, so the more the virus tries to make itself, the more it cripples itself. WuXi Advanced Therapies is working on different models of the technology and now has made TESSA rep-cap genes for all of the main serotypes that people work with. Production titers for one particular construct yielded 1 × 1012 gc/mL. TESSA rep-cap 1, 2, 4, and 5 showed significant improvements in productivity per cell in a suspension-based process for all the serotypes that the company has worked on — generally 10-fold more than what is produced using a plasmid system. He also described how data from a cell line developed at WuXi Advanced Therapies showed improvement in packaging efficiencies.
Cawood noted that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is increasing pressure on manufacturers to ensure absence of residual contaminants and confirm efficacy. WuXi Advanced Therapies has tested a number of different serotypes and compared the ability of those AAV particles to infect cells with AAVs made from the plasmid process. He illustrated work showing that in some cases, the particles were >10-fold more infectious when produced by TESSA technology than when induced by the plasmid-based process. In an example of scaling up the TESSA technology for AAV6 to 50 L, every cell in the population contained the adenoviral DNA after three days. Around 3% of the particles were able to infect a cell compared with 0.5%–0.7% with the plasmid system. Before any purification, 66% of full particles were obtained in the bioreactor. Following purification, the number came to about 102%, and using analytical ultracentrifugation yielded 94.4% full capsids of pure AAV. In an example of scaling up the technology for AAV2, the yields were lower than in the bioreactor but still 20× higher than what was produced by the plasmid-based equivalent. In an alternative model, the company introduced the AAV genome into the chromosome of an HEK293 cell line. The cells were infected with just one TESSA vector, after which AAV was removed with purification.
Other examples illustrated how the technology increased AAV particle yields for all serotypes tested. It increased particle infectivity for a number of the serotypes, is safe and efficient, and removes dependency on transfection. It allows for a number of different operations in bioreactors that simply can’t be done in a transfection-based process.
Cawood concluded by noting that the company provides materials that clients can access through evaluation in their own laboratories. WuXi Advanced Therapies also can construct specific TESSA vectors for clients.

i was reading document about transaction data and there seems to be two contradicting paragraphs:
Every block must include one or more transactions. The first one of these transactions must be a coinbase transaction, also called a generation transaction, which should collect and spend the block reward (comprised of a block subsidy and any transaction fees paid by transactions included in this block).
Blocks are not required to include any non-coinbase transactions, but miners almost always do include additional transactions in order to collect their transaction fees.
my questions are about coinbase transactions and transaction fees:
is a coinbase transaction automatically added (ie: assumed by consensus) for each block, or do miners have to add it explicitly as the first transaction in each block? if so, how do they mark it as a coinbase transaction? is it enough to set no inputs and list it as the first one?
how do miners collect transaction fees? do they have to explicitly add non-coinbase transactions with their own address as output? if so, do fee-collecting transactions have the same type as other transactions, or are they special in some way?
the first paragraph of cited text seems to imply transaction fees in a block can be collected through the coinbase transaction, but the second paragraph seems to imply miners need to explicitly add non-coinbase transactions to collect transaction fees; if miner

Its straight hair season, and if you have a TWA, or hair just slightly longer than that you might want to, join in the fun as well. Sadora has a simple step by step tutorial on how to straighten your TWA, starting with freshly washed hair.
It is probably alot easier to flat iron* a TWA than longer hair because the surface area is shorter, but it is also much easier to get heat damage as well because your hair is shorter.
The key to a great flat iron* job is making sure your hair is in great shape, prior to grabbing the tools. This means making sure your ends are in awesome shape. Even though you have a TWA, it doesn’t mean that you are exempt from damaged ends. Keep your ends looking great as your hair grows, so that when your strands are straight, the hair lies flat and not poofy – often caused from bad ends.
The second thing you must do is deep condition your hair with a protein based product that has some water in it for moisture. Deep conditioning* strengthens the hair, and helps your hair to retain moisture, so you can keep your hair product free during the entire time you are wearing it straight.
Of course, before you flat iron*, you can choose to use a heat protectant* to further protect your hair, but if you deep conditioned well, you might be able to skip it all together; it depends on your hair; if your hair is fine, I would say use heat protectant*.
Finally, blow dry your hair on medium heat, and flat iron* on the heat that will get your hair straight in small sections. If you have a tapered cut like Sadora, run the iron over the shorter areas as well, so you don’t have straight hair on the top and curly hair on the back and sides, unless that is the look you are going for.

Your parent’s shop class at the Franklin Technical School will soon get a makeover.
With a majority of the welding equipment dating back to the 1950s and ’60s, a $495,000 grant from the state will help the tech school to modernize its shop classes.
“It was an honor to be able to be in a situation with our school to receive one of the largest grant offers that (the state) could offer,” Superintendent Richard Martin said, after returning from a ceremony with Gov. Charlie Baker Wednesday afternoon to announce the 32 winners of the grant.
Joining Franklin Tech in the Capital Skills Grant is Mahar Regional School, which received $66,246.
“These Skills Capital Grants will help boost our economy and equip students with new skills, knowledge and experience with state-of-the-art equipment across the Commonwealth,” Baker said in a press release.
With nearly half-a-million dollars in funding, the tech school will revamp its welding and metal fabrication program to meet new industry demands, according to a press release. It will also purchase a new CNC press brake forming machine, which will allow students to train in braking, tooling, drawings and CNC, tools that are automated through computer programming.
The money, Martin said, will be split roughly 50-50 between construction and equipment costs. Students and faculty will help with the construction, working on new ventilation and electrical, which he said will significantly bring down those construction costs.
The goal is for the construction and purchasing process to begin in the spring and for the new welding equipment to be ready for day and night classes by the fall of 2018.
“We continue in the path to modernize that shop program and that’s going to provide an avenue to increase our adult programs as well,” Martin said.
Last year, Martin was able to use a $55,000 grant from the state to start buying new equipment to modernize the shop. This time, receiving nine times as much money, the school hopes to make significant improvements in preparing students, young and old, in the county for work in the field. | <urn:uuid:0b68a073-afa1-4f5e-8428-0d934ff346a3> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://blog.collaborative.org/blog/2017/10/15/franklin-tech-mahar-receive-state-capital-skills-grants/ | 2023-09-28T18:52:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.957553 | 444 |
Valentinstudio are a 3D design agency based in Lyon, France, who focus on creating upscale 3D visualizations, including stills and animations. We spoke with the team there to find out more about them, their take on the industry, and what the future has in store.
Read about Valentinstudio!
Tell us a little about how Valentinstudio was started.
After seven years as a one-person studio, Valentinstudio became a fully-fledged team three years ago. What could be better than sharing your passion with others, right? Ever since then, we have been using our knowledge and skills to support numerous architects and real estate promoters.
When founded, Valentinstudio worked almost exclusively on luxurious projects, but the industry is changing at the speed of light, and so we have to adapt! Today we work with high-end model programs, on projects which are still prestigious, but we would like to have more variety in the kind of projects we take on.
We are currently based in Lyon, France, and our team has 2 permanent CG artists – when things heat up, we have a backup team of freelancers ready to help us out!
What makes us stand out most compared to other French studios is that teamwork is an integral part of all we create. What I mean is that there is never only one graphic designer on a project, but always the whole team on every project.
This enables us to have shorter production times, and also lets us make use of the unique skills of every single team member. The workflow is unified in terms of the tools we use, and that enables us to move projects easily between team members. For us, every project is the creation of a group of passionate creatives from the beginning to the very end, and that’s what keeps us filled with energy and excitement on a daily basis.
Back in the summer of 2016, we developed a chalet entirely using the Unreal Engine which could be explored with a keyboard and mouse on a PC, as well as on the HTC Vive. This technology is interesting, but it demands a set up that takes an extremely long time compared to the industry’s expectations of productivity.
The quality of this kind of real-time VR is also irreconcilable with traditional rendering software. I would say that real-time VR is more of a passing trend, and traditional rendering will end up having the last word.
When it comes to 360° VR panoramas, if the day arrives when VR headsets have great quality, then maybe then demand for that will grow. At the moment though, the feedback from our clients has generally been negative (headaches, nausea…)
You create a wide range of different media – is there any major difference in workflow or approach when working with stills or animations?
Well, I wouldn’t say so. Actually, our workflow enables us to approach things the same way and achieve the same results, whether it is for an image or for an animation – the compositing is done with Black Magic Fusion in both cases.
With Corona Renderer 1.6, sometimes we end up with a completely finished image direct from the VFB, which is incredible!
Any favourite projects so far?
Hmmm… that’s a difficult one to answer! Every project is unique and has its own distinctiveness, so it’s quite difficult to choose a particular one as a favourite.
Recently, we worked on an animation for the real estate agency Maisons Oxygène and we absolutely loved it! Our client was really open-minded and he agreed to go with an uncommon narrative, something more refined than a simple and typical fly-through.
What we aimed for with this animation was to promote a custom-made house while giving a sense of strong emotions and a warm feeling. The film was oriented around the lifestyle as much as the physical space, and our goal was to tell the story of a person coming home from work and follow that story through to the next morning.
One more thing I need to mention about that project… adding a kitten into the film was a little extra touch of fun!
How did you first discover Corona Renderer?
We discovered Corona when version 1.0 launched. After testing it out during the first 24 hours of release, we bought a licence + 10 rendering nodes right away! Ever since then, all of our productions have been created using Corona Renderer.
Do you use Corona Renderer exclusively, and what do you like best about it?
Yes, we do use it exclusively. This rendering engine is absolutely magnificent, a time saver when it comes to setting up compared to other render engines, which we really appreciate.
The lighting and the materials are quite easy to configure. The numerous post-processing effects have greatly simplified our workflow and reduced the use of additional plugins and software. The approach to development is also very interesting, and every new version of Corona brings a lot of new things, which we adore!
There isn’t one particular project to call out at this moment, but there are several significant productions currently in progress, one of them about a resort in the mountains which will most likely become the focus of a short animation. And who knows, maybe you will see it here on the blog once it’s finalized!
What are your plans for the company’s future?
We see Valentinstudio as a journey that started 10 years ago, with new crew members coming on-board to join the voyage over the last 3 years. The journey started in Lyon, France, but in the future we hope to share the expedition on an international scale.
Hold on tight! The market is constantly changing with the arrival of new tools, but there will always be place for passionate creatives. Our profession is one continuous training course, that always pushes us to improve what we create. In the end, passion is the engine of this industry!
All the best!

So just before Christmas I finally managed to air a slot on DS106 Radio (thanks to Alan for being patient with the most needy DJ in DS106 history). It was remarkably easy to do, so I'd recommend it to anyone.
My idea was to create a set where each song reflected on some aspects of MOOCs. On reflection I don't think this came across without me doing some talking inbetween. I opted for film clips instead, but I think the "music connected by a theme we can discuss" approach has merits which I'd like to revisit. I know from compiling the set that even if it's an issue you've thought about a lot, adding music to it gives it a vibrancy or nuance that wasn't there previously. It would be a fun way to explore some issues without having to reference French philosophers (yes, I'm looking at you Cormier).
For the record, here are the tracks:
I'll let you make the connections to the topic.
And here is the (probably illegal) archive of the broadcast. It starts a bit quiet but cranks up halfway through the first song. See how many film clips you can get. | <urn:uuid:61f88c5f-bfb8-421d-b1eb-c85274720a53> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://blog.edtechie.net/mooc/mooc-disco/ | 2023-09-28T17:35:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.968836 | 240 |

An introduction to best-in-class quantitative space utilization insights for post-secondary institutions
We know campuses aren’t planned overnight, and often capital planning and space management plans look decades ahead when considering investments.
We understand the unique challenges and priorities that higher education facilities and real estate planning teams face on a daily basis.
We know that getting the data you need to make decisions around campus space planning, when you need it can be both necessary and complicated, given the scope of campuses and the range of uses.
We understand that as subject matter experts, the best data is very important for making decisions (we’re subject matter experts too).
The data to design and maintain campuses to create a better overall experience
When know you, as a higher education administrator have a lot on your plates, including:
- managing resources
- optimizing budgets
- ensuring efficient operations across the campus
Access to accurate occupancy and use data provides valuable information on how your facilities are being utilized is key. This has the potential to enable you to identify areas for improvement, allocate resources effectively, consider lease versus buy decisions, and justify investment in new projects.
With our data, easily viewed through our inTELLO analytics portal, you can confidently make informed decisions about building maintenance, engaging and collaborative student spaces, cafeteria facilities, faculty resources, strategic initiatives, and new resourcing needs assessments.
Imagine the Dean of Engineering is requesting ten more offices, and a new research space. With InnerSpace, you can understand with real-time usage information if the space needs are valid and real and consider repurposing underused spaces for this purpose.
Our data can also be used to enhance the way faculty and students experience campus. You can share real-time information about how busy meal halls are or share usage data to help them find quiet places to study or work.
The data to create unique spaces designed for learning and collaborating
Our platform allows you to collect accurate and informative data about how both faculty and students are using your spaces.
Our insights ensure you can focus on creating classrooms, research areas and collaboration spaces that inspire creativity, engagement, and academic success that students, faculty, and researchers want to come to campus for.
Maybe you have a hunch that students are collaborating more in the library. It seems noisy in there. Our insights can help you figure out if an investment in an additional collaborative space will pay off.
Maybe there’s a campus coffee shop that’s only busy on Tuesdays and Thursdays, due to a four-hour lecture across the hall. Wouldn’t it be nice to know how busy, and what changes you could make to give it a boost through real-time utilization insights?
Incorporating these insights into the planning process, ensures that your campus facilities are optimized to enhance the educational experience and meet the evolving demands of faculty members.
The data to perform cost-effective and proactive campus maintenance
Maintaining a university campus is a multi-faceted, complex, and costly exercise. From classrooms to dormitories, libraries to laboratories, the upkeep of these diverse spaces requires careful attention and resources.
Our platform delivers valuable and insightful data that allow you to proactively identify maintenance issues before they become major problems by identifying high use areas throughout your campus.
Imagine you’re doing a security audit. InnerSpace data can help you consider locations for security features to support safety on campus, based on traffic and usage.
Understanding where faculty and students are and how they are using your facilities means you are able to streamline maintenance schedules and ensure optimal resourcing while creating a better overall campus experience for all.
What else is on our syllabus?
We take privacy seriously, just like you do. We are GDPR compliant, and proudly meet all industry privacy standards. InnerSpace is also certified to SOC2 and ISO27001 standards. Certifying to these standards involves an independent audit confirming the security practices, policies, procedures, and operations meet or exceed standards for protecting customer information.
You can read more about how we prioritize privacy here.
The data you need, when you need it, with no costly installation
Installing sensors on most campuses to gather impactful data would be a gargantuan task. With InnerSpace, you can start collecting data right away, through your already installed campus Wi-Fi networks.
Our intuitive dashboard design empowers you to select the most important metrics and export data for reporting needs. All graphs and charts in inTELLO are available for CSV download, along with a high-level summary PDF report to share with key stakeholders.
Flexible, actionable, robust, useful real-time data
When the pandemic hit, online learning had begun to factor into campus space planning needs, but the last three years have made blended learning a part of every higher education institution’s offerings. Our data can help you make decisions about your current plan, based on real-time usage, and plan forward to a future where the spaces you have, or build are aligned with the ways both students and faculty are using them now.

Being Wrong on Hacker News
This was the top comment on the launch post for a file sharing app in 2007. It reads, "For a linux user, you can already build such a system for yourself quite trivially by ...", and "it does not seem very viral".
The app: Dropbox.
Of course, the commenter was technically right – but the value proposition was Dropbox's secret sauce on Windows and the arrival of AWS S3 only a few months earlier. And Dropbox eventually did have difficulty making money and shifting to enterprise sales, but by all measures is was a home run business.
Looking back, I cringe at some of the things I said on the internet. Here's my own faux pas on Hacker News.
At the time, $3000 was an exorbitant amount of money for me (still is, honestly). The author and CEO, Vlad, wrote about how he had purchased an expensive domain name (webflow.com) in college while he was $10,000 in debt before he had an idea of what he wanted to build.
Webflow is currently valued at $2.1B and a well-known brand.
Another thing I've been wrong about on Hacker News (in a comment since deleted) is about Plaid, a company that was initially screen scraping banking data.
In college and tight for money, I wanted to analyze my finances in real time. Services like Mint existed but were slow and didn't give me raw access to my data. My bank didn't offer an official API either. As an engineer, I thought screen scrapers like Plaid and Yodlee were terrible ideas. Screen scraping breaks every time a website updates its interface, and having a service use your credentials in plaintext is always a security issue.
So with a little ingenuity, I reverse engineered the APIs that the mobile banking apps used to pull my data programmatically. I thought this was the "right" approach. Later on, the courts would say that screen scraping == legal, but unauthorized use of APIs == illegal. Plaid bootstrapped its business off of screen scraping and later cut deals with the banks for direct access (like Mint before it).
Luckily, I learned my lesson early on in my career. Be optimistic. Technology isn't everything. Solving problems is more important than being right. And most importantly, don't be a jerk! | <urn:uuid:4438edf9-6b26-44c3-bedc-45122278b629> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://blog.matt-rickard.com/p/being-wrong-on-hacker-news | 2023-09-28T17:26:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.978116 | 493 |

As an eyecare professional, your mission is to deliver exceptional patient care quickly. Your patients expect that when they visit your practice, that you'll give them individualized attention. If your practice fails to honor your patient’s expectation of quality care, then it could result in a negative online review, a bad reputation in your community, and most importantly a loss in trust from the patient.
Luckily,optometry softwarehas advanced the way customized care is administered to your patients, resulting in a deeper focus on individual needs. Below are three ways that optometric practices can use EHR and practice management software to enhance patient care.
How Optometry Software Enhances Patient Care
1. It Expands Communication Capabilities
Before your patient even sees the technician for the pre-exam, your optometric practice is already collecting information about them. As you gather patient demographics and record exam details, make sure you’re able to close the communication loop. Secure messaging platforms embedded into the EHR are available to securely connect you with your patients, specialists, pharmacists, and other staff members in your practice.
With optometry software, you and your staff receive a secure internal messaging system to share text-based messages with each other between exam rooms or with patients through a secure patient portal.
2. It Improves Visibility into Patient Data
Your patient’s health may change a great deal between visits. New medication, a change in family medical history, and the discovery of adult-onset allergies are things that you need to know about. However, your patient may not think to inform you of their change in information when they are seated in the exam room.
With complete EHR and Practice Management software solutions, your patients have access to a secure patient portal where they can schedule their appointments, view patient education material, and record their social and medical histories.
Additionally, your practice can use the same software with embedded tools to pull any allergy or prescription data on the patient using an embedded ePrescribing tool.
3. It Reduces Errors through Automation
When you have to manually input data multiple times into multiple fields, there is a high-risk of an error occurring. Not that the person recording the data is careless, but as the recorder is entering data multiple times, small details may be left out or changed entirely. By the time the exam is done, the patient record may contain inaccurate information.
Manually entering data, while common, is a time-consuming and error-prone practice. Using a cloud-based practice management and EHR solution, your practice can eliminate many of the repetitive data entry tasks with single-entry data population.

Technical trade schools and welding education programs are not new to post-secondary institutions, but as organizations see an increase in admissions, there is also a noticeable increase in demand for equipment. This is not only to appease the quantity of new students, but also to ensure safety and efficiency in the curriculums. The most appealing program to a student will have experienced and knowledgeable professors, interesting and extensive material, as well as modern equipment. However, even with all of these tools there are still some major factors that all of these institutions face:
- The booths to demonstrate and instruct welding are too small for more than just a few students at a time
- The instruction area has inadequate space for the number of students registered in the program
- The welding consumables budget is insufficient and will not cover the cost for new equipment
When instructing such a unique trade, it is important that students not only understand what is being taught, but can see the demonstration. Being able to see and understand what is occurring with a weld tip and arc, as well as the environment around it (weld seam, weld pool, shielding gas, and wire feed) are all essential elements to understanding the welding process. Without a grasp on these elements and factors, there is little that can be retained by the student. This is all based on a visual demonstration that can be hard to provide in many welding institution settings.
As technology and equipment advance, the ability to record lessons and welds adds an immense benefit to both students and instructors. Students can learn more outside of the classroom, as well as retain and digest all of the important elements of the lesson using video playback. This can be provided through the addition of weld cameras.
Not any camera can be placed in such a hostile environment, and expected to function normally. Therefore, more research and development has been contributed to constructing a small, clear, and functional camera that can withstand this environment, and provide the best image quality. Xiris Automation Inc. has created such a camera, called the XVC-O (Xiris View Camera for Open Arc Welding). This allows video recording, clear images, storing/saving capabilities, as well as better classroom visuals for welding programs. This live weld feed can be attached to a simple monitor (as demonstrated above), or even a full size projector, and still provide a clear, comprehensive view of all elements. Xiris has also developed a version for submerged arc welding.
Local colleges, such as Conestoga College, have added this kind of technology to their budding trades programs. As the Government of Canada announced this May, they are investing $2.3 million over the next five years towards Conestoga College’s new Centre for Smart Manufacturing establishment. Already using the XVC-O, these improvements have allowed Conestoga to become an extremely competitive College in the area, and one of the most competitive for the welding trade school industry. Other institutions, such as NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology) have also added systems to their curriculum and have noticed great improvements. NAIT’s Chair of Welding Programs, Chris Manning says “by displaying the captured welding video on a remote screen, the instructors can vastly improve the learning experience of their students, with improved learning success, which is always the instructor’s goal”.

In the summer of 2023, the second cohort of Primary Education student teachers completed the degree programme and their research dissertations, that had benefitted from a fuller focus on research. As for 2022, we have selected the strongest dissertations to form a Primary Education Research Showcase.
We have not gone through a full process of editing as would be normal for an academic journal, but have preserved the reports in near original submission form. The student teachers were asked to proof-read their work again, but only address technical matters of spelling, grammar, unclear phrasing, referencing etc. Therefore, they are not perfect, but our intention is to preserve most of the authenticity of the original submission.
So, we have a selection of quality undergraduate research dissertations that are almost the same as the original submissions. There is a wide range of topics, all applicable to current primary school practice. We hope that current and prospective student teachers and tutors will find them inspiring and raise expectations of what can be done, whilst balancing the pressures of a dissertation and a final school placement. We hope that alumni, teachers and tutors, will also find them interesting and thought provoking for their own research and practice.

Are you interested to find out a way that you can make money from Patreon?
There are many successful Patreons who managed to make a good income of more than $50,000 a month.
In this day of online funding, and website like Patreon, you can find fans and people who will support your work much more easily.
So here are 7 ways that you can make money from Patreon and turn it to a successful online business just by creating good content that people will subscribe.
1. Creating a Tribe
If you have a passion for a topic, you can build a tribe of followers on the subject you love.
For example, there is a good history podcast created by Dan Carlin. He is an amateur historian as he likes to say. But he shows great love and passion in history and a lot of people follows his podcast. He charges for just $1 a month to listen to him talk about history.
2. Be an Online Educator
Do you have a specific skill set that a lot of people might want to learn from you? You can use Patreon as a promotion tool. You can start by giving out some free content on Youtube and grow your followers and charge for premium content on Patreon.
One good example is Crash Course which produces free, high-quality educational videos for teachers and learners. Education is an evergreen niche and a good start for new Patreon Creators.
3. Different Tier Levels Model
This is probably one of the more usual ways Patreon creator use Patreon to make money. With many different tier levels, each more expensive than the one before it, you can offer more and more offers to those who are willing to pay for your content.
Crash Course makes good use of this business model.
In total, Crash Course has 11 different levels with different offers. The levels range from $3 a month to the highest that charges $3,000 a month. The rewards range from activity feed, exclusive live streams to marketing promotions at their videos.
No matter how many tiers, the point of the tiers is to create bonus and premium content for those who are your most loyal fans. What to offer and for how much money is always a case of trial and error. Be patient, build your audience, interact with them, notice patterns and build your tiers from there. Business will follow suit.
4. More Perks for Your Loyal Fans
Many fans adore their creators and can’t get enough of them… Hence, you can offer additional posts, pictures, and videos of you and your life. They will support your creation by paying for a higher plan.
One of the ways people go about this is by giving shoutouts or thank-yous before their posts and videos. Who would not want their favorite creator to speak their name and thank them wholeheartedly?
You can also mention their brands and promote their services and products at the end of the video. This can help to attract serious advertisers.
Other than that, you can create special merchandise for your biggest, most loyal fans. It can be shirts or caps or mugs, just something little and very personalized.
5. The Pay as You Like Model
The PWYC model is being adopted more and more often. Creators are becoming aware that they are being followed and consumed by a wide variety of people all around the world. There is a large diversity in their audience.
Some of that diversity is financially based. Not everyone makes the same amount of money. Some might be able to afford only a dollar or two a month extra. On the other hand, some people might spring in with twenty or fifty dollars each month.
Or you can create a very large hierarchy of tier levels. Each tier level with more rewards. You can go from the first level that costs a dollar or two, to level five or six that offers everything you can offer and put the price at a few hundreds of dollars. Just think of creative and fun rewards that your fanbase is sure to eat up.
6. Offering Products or Services
This is probably the closest thing that you will see to how you would operate a normal business on Patreon. Maybe you can create software or you can consult people about markets of certain kinds. If that is the case, you can add special rewards if you are asked to do some of the services that you know you can provide to your audience.
Or if you are a professional artist, you can offer advice and critique just like what Jason Morgan did for other amateur artists.
DIY and craft will be a good fit for this business model in Patreon.
7. Narrating Stories
If you have knowledge in a specific niche, you can definitely try out to be a storyteller. Take for example Jim C. Swim who has crazy knowledgeable about criminal psychology. He has been narrating lots of criminal stories with 30,000+ fan base. His fans are loving his videos and he has a group of enthusiasts following his Patreon. | <urn:uuid:1679bb54-ccf6-49e2-9c20-fbc011f138fc> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://blogrk.com/ways-make-money-patreon/ | 2023-09-28T17:07:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.965833 | 1,012 |

Melamchi: a landslide dam break flood in Nepal last week
I was away on leave in London last week; as both the South Asia monsoon and the northern hemisphere mountain rockfall season are now underway, there is much to discuss. So, to start, on 14 June 2021 a large flood struck the Melamchi area of Nepal following an early monsoon downpour. The flooding caused high levels of damage. Three people are confirmed to have died, whilst 17 more remain missing. Many houses were destroyed:-
It is now clear that this event resulted from the breach of a landslide dam upstream, releasing a torrential debris flow and flood that struck the settlements. On Twitter there is a short video that has captured some of the landsliding:
‘पहिरोले थुनिएको खोला फुट्दा मेलम्चीमा बाढी’
– हेलिकोप्टरबाट मेलम्ची क्षेत्र निरीक्षणपछि स्वास्थ्यमन्त्री शेरबहादुर तामाङले भने– हेलम्बु गाउँपालिकाको चोक्पुभन्दा ५०० मिटरमाथि पहिरो गएर खोला थुनिएका कारण मेलम्चीमा बाढी आएको हो ।#Melamchi #Landslide #Flood #nayapatrika pic.twitter.com/GZNwwUjVB2
— Naya Patrika (@NAYA_PATRIKA) June 16, 2021
The translation of the text is:
‘Melamchi floods due to landslide’ – After inspecting the Melamchi area from a helicopter, Health Minister Sher Bahadur Tamang said that the Melamchi was flooded due to a landslide 500 meters above the Chokpu of Helambu village.
If this is correct then the location is about 28.109, 85.46, but this is unconfirmed. Unfortunately there is too much cloud to get a good satellite image. There are better versions of the inset image on the left above, but these seem to sit on insecure sites so I am not providing a link. They appear to show a very large, valley blocking landslide just above the area with the white circle on this image above.
There also appears to be substantial damage to the critically important Melamchi Water Supply Project. I note once again that major infrastructure projects are being built in the Himalayas without a proper understanding of the risks from these devastating landslides, as we noted in our recent paper in Science.
Interestingly, there are also reports of another valley blocking landslide threatening communities in Nepal, this time along the banks of the Tamakoshi River – this valley blocking landslide is in Tibet. Works are apparently underway to try to unblock the channel. We will watch with interest to see what happens there. Thanks to John Reynolds for highlighting this one to me. | <urn:uuid:647a68fd-0bd4-49cb-a5df-3766d28a1e84> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://blogs.agu.org/landslideblog/2021/06/21/melamchi-a-landslide-dam-break-flood-in-nepal-last-week/ | 2023-09-28T18:37:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.916774 | 876 |
“Information is not knowledge,” was Einstein’s cautionary take on the power (and limitation) of data. In healthcare, the collection of patient feedback and other data is regularly hailed as the panacea for all ills, physical or otherwise. In an analysis published on bmj.com today, Angela Coulter and colleagues argue that in the UK, the NHS has been good at collecting data on patients’ experience of care, but has not yet used this information to systematically improve services. The authors suggest this could be remedied by establishing a national institute of “user” experience—to draw data together, determine how to interpret results, and put them into practice. The BMJ’s editor in chief Fiona Godlee reflects on how doctors can apply this work to their own practice in this week’s editor’s choice.
One area that has benefitted greatly from data is climate change. In a BMJ editorial: public health expert David McCoy and colleagues preview the upcoming report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which focuses on the impacts of global warming. “The IPCC’s new report should leave the world in no doubt about the scale and immediacy of the threat to human survival, health, and wellbeing,” say the authors.
Elsewhere, obstetricians have said that the first prosecution for Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) in the UK could lead to doctors fearing criminal charges if they carry out repairs to stop post-birth bleeding in women who have previously been subjected to the illegal procedure. Read the full story here.
And in the US, a smokers’ rights group is gearing up for a battle with the city of New York after filing a suit challenging the city’s ban on the use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) in enclosed public spaces.

Productive urban landscape, foodscape, urban horticulture and the edible city
June and October 2020 saw the publication of two academic papers on urban food that reference the Continuous Productive Urban Landscape (CPUL) concept when contextualising their own work within the various definitions of food-related urban design concepts. This is of interest to us as we have followed the emergence of the urban agriculture and urban food systems discourse over the last 20 years. We are well aware that practitioners, activists and researchers working within this field often use different terms for the same subject whilst, at the same time, each term may hold a slightly different focus. In the following two papers, all concepts described meet in the reference to an edible landscape or edible city.
In their article Foodscape: A scoping review and a research agenda for food security-related studies, Simon Vonthron, Coline Perrin and Christophe-Toussaint Soulard present a review of the literature examining how the term ‘foodscape’ is employed and framed: ‘Analyzing 140 publications, we highlight four approaches to the foodscape: (i) Spatial approaches use statistics and spatial analysis to characterize the diversity of urban foodscapes and their impacts on diet and health, at city or neighborhood scales. (ii) Social and cultural approaches at the same scales show that foodscapes are socially shaped and highlight structural inequalities by combining qualitative case studies and quantitative surveys of food procurement practices. (iii) Behavioral approaches generally focus on indoor micro-scales, showing how consumer perceptions of foodscapes explain and determine food behaviors and food education. (iv) Systemic approaches contest the global corporate food regime and promote local, ethical, and sustainable food networks’. The authors point out that looking only for the term ‘foodscape’ does ‘not encompass all food environment or food system studies’ and that ‘closely related terms include for instance the ‘edible landscape’, another term designating the spaces producing food within the city, in landscape and architectural design’ quoting the CPUL concept.
Falko Feldmann and Ute Vogler, in their article Towards sustainable performance of urban horticulture: Ten challenging fields of action for modern integrated pest management in cities, identified ‘ten current key challenges for plant protection in cities each of them belonging to a specific field of action of integrated pest management (IPM) in urban horticulture’. The authors distinguish the term ‘urban horticulture’ from ‘urban agriculture’ as focussing ‘on plant production and use only’ taking place in ‘open fields, greenhouses, on roof tops, sky farms, at house walls, fallow gaps between buildings, and inside of houses, including private and public buildings. Public parks and public open spaces are even thought as places for food production, e.g. in “edible city concepts” (Bohn and Viljoen 2010)’. The ten challenges include: 1: Appropriate plant selection for urban horticulture; 3: Nutrient recycling; 5: Diversification of urban vegetation; 6: Avoidance of side effects on beneficials and 10: Holistic approaches. The authors stress the importance of holistic approaches, including integrated pest management, as one of the bases for the sustainability of urban horticulture, as well as urban agriculture.
The research article Foodscape: A scoping review and a research agenda for food security-related studies by Simon Vonthron, Coline Perrin and Christophe-Toussaint Soulard was published in PLoS ONE in May 2020, see here.
Falko Feldmann’s and Ute Vogler’s article Towards sustainable performance of urban horticulture: Ten challenging fields of action for modern integrated pest management in cities was published in Sptember 2020 in the Journal of Plant Diseases and Protection, see here.

Every Tuesday at 3pm, a group of Dickinson students visited the retirement home in Bremen to talk to four over 90-year-old women. The women came from different areas in Germany such as Bremen, Berlin, a town in now present-day Poland, and a town in the vicinity of Dresden. They talk about their times growing up in the Nazi regime, running from the Russian soldiers, or any consequences that resulted from the second World War. They are not afraid to give insight on personal, tragic stories as they are instantly comfortable with sharing with you since you walk in the door. However, the content is not always heavy as sometimes they fast forward to present day and talk about their families, pets, cooking, etc. The environment is always open and friendly as we always treat ourselves to coffee and cookies.
The women are still mentally sharp for the hour and a half, sometimes two-hour meetings. They want to get to know us well, so it leads to free-flowing conversations. Sometimes it is difficult to understand their German by not knowing some of the words; however, there is a worker that accompanies us who helps us understand the content and is able to translate us in English if ever needed. Speaking to these women gave an insight into the German identity, and it always put a smile on their faces as well as the Dickinson students. | <urn:uuid:279371f7-765f-4e8f-90c2-f534ee4ab759> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://blogs.dickinson.edu/bremen/2019/02/ | 2023-09-28T18:28:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.985283 | 286 |

By Christianna McCausland
In the November midterm election, Marylanders voted to legalize recreational cannabis in the state. Starting in July 2023, Marylanders 21 and over will be able to legally possess up to 1.5 ounces of marijuana and grow two plants at home.
Maryland will join 20 other states (as of this writing) and the District of Columbia in having legalized recreational cannabis use. In her fight to see the referendum succeed, Alex Hughes, J.D. ’09, made sure the ballot measure wasn’t overshadowed by the top ticket races for governor, comptroller and the like. Hughes was co-manager, with former Ravens player Eugene Monroe, of the campaign “Yes on 4,” which leveraged social media and text marketing to encourage voter turnout in November.
Hughes explains that her passion for cannabis legalization goes back to the nearly 15 years she spent working on criminal justice policy and seeing firsthand the impacts that low-level drug charges can have on people’s lives.
“What we know is that legalizing cannabis frees up public-safety resources to focus on more violent crime,” says Hughes. “In states that have legalized, simple-possession arrests are down over 70 percent. We also know that there are people who need access to medical cannabis that can’t get easy access because of bureaucratic red tape. Passing Question 4 will help mitigate these problems.”
But the devilish details have yet to be dealt with, and much of that work would be punted into 2023. Identical House and Senate bills, HB 837 and SB 833, will now go into effect, though not until January 1, 2023, when the state will start regulatory wrangling in advance of the July deadline.
The collective bills outline the amount of cannabis that can be legally possessed, but they also detail fines for public smoking, call for the creation of a Cannabis Public Health Advisory Council, and provide for those previously convicted of cannabis-only possession to have their criminal records expunged.
‘AN OPPORTUNITY FOR REPARATIONS’
Importantly, the bills attempt to address social equity problems that have dogged the state’s medical cannabis rollout. A Community Reinvestment and Repair Fund would provide money to communities disproportionately impacted by cannabis prohibition, and a Cannabis Assistance Fund would help small, minority-owned, and women-owned businesses enter the adult-use cannabis industry.
State Sen. Jill P. Carter, J.D. ’93, a Democrat representing Baltimore City, has been outspoken in her calls for social justice and equity in the state’s legalization efforts. She points to research conducted in 2020 by the ACLU that indicates that 50 percent of the drug arrests in Maryland were for marijuana, and that Black people make up 92 percent of those arrested — even though numerous data sources report that Black people and white people use marijuana at the same rate.
“It is imperative that we legalize cannabis, ensure economic opportunities for individuals criminalized during prohibition, and reinvest in impacted communities,” Carter says. “Legalization creates an opportunity for reparations.”
The particulars of the law, however, have yet to be worked out. “The state is setting up a brand-new field, and I think they’ve done a pretty good job of addressing potential issues in a serious and thoughtful way,” says Alan Nemeth, adjunct professor at Baltimore Law. Nemeth developed and teaches the law school’s first course in marijuana law.
Still, Nemeth says, watching the regulatory piece unfold will be interesting. How, for example, will the Cannabis Assistance Fund decide who gets grant money, and how much? What impact will recreational legalization have on Maryland’s existing medical cannabis laws? And the practicalities of executing criminal record expungement — which means sorting through decades of paper files — could create a bureaucratic juggernaut.
“There will be automatic expungement for cannabis possession-only cases prior to July 2023, but how will jurisdictions make that happen? Will they set up cannabis courts to speed up resentencing efforts without bogging down the rest of the court system? Or they could set up a task force at the jurisdiction level,” says Nemeth. “Parsing all that out will take a while.”
LEGAL QUESTIONS REMAIN
Baltimore County State’s Attorney Scott Shellenberger, J.D. ’84, agrees that expungement is going to be both a Herculean task and one that, as of now, has not been worked out in the detail it deserves. Shellenberger, a Democrat, has heard both sides of the cannabis debate and says he will abide by whatever the voters decide. But he, too, has questions about what will happen in 2023.
“What remains unanswered are things like where it will be sold, and regulations for smoking in a car,” says Shellenberger. “If I’m driving and my friend is drinking a beer, I’m not drunk, but what if that friend is smoking cannabis in the car? Marijuana stays in the system longer [than alcohol]. What does that mean for impaired driving?”
Shellenberger notes that states with legal recreational cannabis have seen spikes in car accidents. Data from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety showed a 6 percent increase in injury crash rates and a 4 percent increase in fatal crashes in California, Colorado, Nevada, Oregon and Washington immediately after their legalization, though whether cannabis alone played a pivotal factor is not clear from the reporting.
What is clear is that Maryland’s medical marijuana industry has disproportionately left out minorities from a business that cultivates as much as $500 million in profits a year. Shellenberger wonders what’s to stop that happening again.
“The legislature has expressed that the easiest way is to let the medical cannabis people get the recreational licenses, but there’s already a lack of minority representation in the medical cannabis field,” he says. “Do we simply let the medical people become the recreational people?”
These are issues Carter had hoped to avoid. In a March 2022 tweet she stated, “Legalizing cannabis without addressing the centuries of injustice committed against Black and brown communities concedes to exploitation and perpetuates systemic racism. Passing empty policy to secure an electoral victory will adversely impact the most vulnerable communities.”
Her now-defunct bill, SB692, named the Cannabis Legalization and Reparations for the War on Drugs Act, would have legalized recreational cannabis (up to four ounces) starting in July 2022. It also allocated 60 percent of revenue from legalized cannabis directly to impacted communities through the Community Reinvestment and Repair Fund. While the senator was able to amend the other two bills to include portions of this fund, both only allocate 30 percent of monies.
Now, many of Carter’s priorities have to wait until next year. “We made significant strides towards legalization last session, but still have much to accomplish,” Carter states in an email.
“People are going to smoke regardless of whether this referendum passes,” Carter says, ahead of the November election. “It is safer for both the consumer and the community if it’s legalized… It’s time we move away from antiquated ideas and embrace a 21st-century economy and justice system.”

All businesses are already aware that in the digital era “data is a new oil”. Data become the main driver of economic growth. The more data are available and are used, the more business opportunities and competitiveness there are. Today we will learn about the foundations for the use of data, which consist of data mindsets and the efficient use of advanced data analytics and big data, with Mr. Phiphat Prapapanpong, the Director of Data Science (Machine Learning) of Bluebik Group Public Company Limited.
There are 5 steps to make the most use of data.
1. Data analytics and use case generation
Firstly, we must develop a mindset so that all departments will understand the importance of data and their efficient use for business gains. For example, findings from data analytics can be used to increase the revenue of businesses, cut operating costs and improve sales methods to raise sales.
To see how an organization can use its data, we must understand the operations of all its departments, its products, its services and its communications with customers and study the data that are generated in each business process. Then we will analyze the data and develop them into data analytics use cases to find opportunities and gaps for development to reach business goals. With the use of data, organizations can see the paths of their development clearly and can use data to efficiently support their business strategies.
2. Gap analysis
After business organizations see and understand the goals of their data analytics, they will find the gaps that get in the way of their system development. They may have to look at their foundations which are data infrastructures so see if the foundations are ready to support data analytics. For example, a common problem of most organizations concerns data quality. Data may be stored in the formats that obstruct analyses. After problems are analyzed, the discovered gaps must be considered to develop the action plans that will truly enable organizations to make the maximum use of data and develop use cases as planned.
3. Data foundations
After we are ready in terms of data and the use cases that meet business goals, we must have a unit that will prepare data use from the stage of planning to the action plans that will efficiently support the development of use cases and data analytics. Data foundations comprise these three main parts.
- People – They must be readied. This begins with a structure of data supervision which includes data administrators, data service teams and stakeholders. The readiness ensures the efficient and reliable management of data.
- Process – This concerns the initiation of a data management process which covers the planning of data use, data storage, backup data, data restoration, archives, data migration and data destruction. The process ensures that data will be always ready for use and accurate.
- Technology – Organizations must have their data platform or data lake to store central data, reduce duplications and disorganized data and create compatibility with various instruments for data analytics such as the data warehouses, which support the compilation of understandable reports (visualized dashboards), machine learning and real-time data analytics.
After organizations are ready in terms of strategies, business goals and the three foundations, they must work out action plans to efficiently achieve business goals. Tasks must be prioritized. Normally a priority matrix is applied with two axes of impacts and readiness and their high, medium and low levels. When tasks are put on such matrixes, business organizations can conveniently and efficiently draw their action roadmaps which cover short and long-term tasks.
5. Data science implementation
The ultimate goal is to translate data into real business opportunities. To find patterns and achieve business goals, data are processed with analytic models which include algorithms such as classification, regression and clustering according to business purposes set in the first step. Outcomes from data analytics must be useful for business operations. For example, outcomes from product recommendation engines can be fed into a marketing system which will present better personalized promotions to prospective customers.
The future use of data will reveal the behavior of things
Many business organizations have realized that data are precious assets and can be used to create opportunities and prevent mistakes. Large-scale organizations worldwide begin to adapt and find new business opportunities by using “the data that display the behaviors of consumers”. Obviously electronic devices are collecting consumers’ data. They include highly developed wearable devices like smartwatches and smart glasses. There are also the applications with which consumers willingly share the information of their everyday life. They include mobile banking applications and the applications that require facial recognition before transactions. Besides, IoT devices are providing organizations and businesses with new kinds of data about consumers. The organizations that are planning to use data or installing data application systems should update their plans and systems to follow trends.
Product development may target not only customer experience but also total experience
Another significance of data analytics, apart from customer experience, is that it supports the creation of good experience for all parties, from staff to customers (total experience). This greatly strengthens business because business concerns not only consumers. The creation of positive experience from within will result in the valuable experience of end users. This can lead to the sustainable growth of revenue and profit.
The attractiveness of data consulting
Apart from learning new technologies and interesting behaviors, data consultants also gain experience in business. This is because the good data analytics that will make business grow efficiently should begin with business goals. This work suits the people who are enthusiastic about technologies and good at noticing and have creativity in the analyses of new formats of data. These qualifications mean considerable work of quality.
What skills and mindsets does data consulting require?
Work with data and analyses may require basic knowledge about the use of instruments and data analyses (technical skills), ability to interpret data and see the causes and effects of behaviors (logical thinking), the business understanding which leads to the understanding of data and credible presentations, the mindsets that help build strong teams (leadership), the open-mindedness which is necessary for collaboration with experts from various fields and the empathy that supports understanding, concerted efforts to solve problems, happiness at work and progress. | <urn:uuid:e5733365-e11c-4ba5-9f06-2598c3a23a71> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://bluebik.com/insights/3230 | 2023-09-28T18:09:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.941479 | 1,230 |

For most homeowners in the UK with no more than 2 bathrooms in their properties, the Combination (Combi) boiler is the most popular boiler installed in the UK. Worcester Bosch is also the most popular boiler brand in the UK, so we thought it would make sense to outline what the best settings are to warm your house, heat water and improve efficiency.
We’ll be going over the optimal settings for both your hot water and central heating needs. We’ll also look into controls and features such as Load Compensators and Wireless Plugin Controllers which not only save you money, but are good for the environment, too. Let’s look first then at the settings for your central heating system using a Worcester Bosch combi boiler.
Settings for Your Central Heating System
With a Worcester Bosch Combi boiler, you have the advantage of controlling the period you want the radiators to be working (based on a 24-hour clock system). This means that you can regulate your radiators to go off when you’re not at home, and then program the thermostat to increase the temperature when you are around.
During the winter, the ideal temperature setting should be 18-21°C. In areas that get extremely cold, then 21-23°C would be sufficient. If you’ve taken additional measures to retain heat, such as wall insulation or draught-proofed windows and doors, then you could set your thermostat to 17°C.
It might not seem like much but according to Worcester News, reducing the temperature by just a single degree celsius could result in heating bill savings of up to 10%, not to mention the environmental benefits this would have.
It’s important to note that your thermostat temperature for your central heating is not the same as the appropriate boiler temperature. For the correct central heating setting on the boiler itself, jump to the section: Worcester Bosch Settings 1 to 6
What Temperature Should Hot Water be Set (Combi Boiler)
For your hot water needs, we recommend setting your Worcester Bosch boiler at 55–60°C which is sufficient for most homeowners in the UK. Generally speaking, combi boilers don’t come with a hot water cylinder as they heat water on-demand, however some larger boilers might have a storage component. This temperature would be ideal to eliminate the presence of Legionnaires Disease, a form of Pneumonia caused by bacteria in the water.
Most Economical Settings For Combi Boiler
Typically, the most economical and efficient setting for your combi boiler is to set your hot water temperature to 60°C and your central heating temperature (within the boiler, itself, also known as the flow temperature) to 70-75°C. This is the ‘sweet spot’ in terms of giving you what you need, heating and hot water-wise, without being overly expensive or energy-intensive.
Worcester Bosch Boiler Settings 1 to 6
On Worcester Bosch boilers like the Greenstar Si, both the central heating and hot water temperatures are controlled using dials on the boiler’s front panel. Both of these dials are numbered 1 to 6.
To set the right Worcester Greenstar boiler water temperature settings – around that 60°C mark – set the hot water dial to setting 3. For the correct central heating flow temperature, set the heating dial to setting 4 or 5. To find out which temperature all the settings correspond to, view the Greenstar Si manual.
How to Reduce Water Temperature on Worcester Boiler
Simply find the hot water dial on the front panel of your Worcester Bosch boiler (it will have settings going from 1 to 6) and lower it down one level. If, on the other hand, your Worcester boiler’s water isn’t hot enough, then turn up the hot water dial by one setting. This should easily give you hot enough water.
Best Settings for Worcester Bosch Smart Devices
Worcester Bosch Boilers come with highly advanced smart devices which enable you to program your boiler, even when you’re not around. Some of these devices can adjust the settings of your boiler; this is done through wireless communication between the thermostat and a corresponding temperature sensor.
Ideal Settings for Programmable Room Thermostats
When it comes to making savings on your energy bills, programmable room thermostats are amongst the best options out there to help you. For one, they allow you to heat a house from a reasonable temperature (rather than a cold start). This is preferable because we’re sure that most homeowners can relate to the long waits in the winter as the house warms up.
These thermostats also ensure that your boiler reaches the maximum temperature you had set it at. If you had set your temperature at 21°C, for instance, then your central heating will cap off at that temperature. Lastly, room thermostats allow you to set the ideal temperature of a particular room.
If, for example, there’s a room in your home that’s used only occasionally, then you could set the thermostat at a lower temperature for that particular room. If the rest of the house is set to 20°C, then the empty room should be set to 10°C. If you adopt this strategy, then ensure that you keep the door firmly closed to retain heat elsewhere in the home.
Ideal Settings for a Mechanical RF Thermostat
Worcester Bosch boilers utilise the Worcester MT10RF as its Mechanical Room Thermostat. The MT10RF allows you to control the temperature of your central heating during the day and at night. The central heating comes on (and turns off) based on the time settings you’ve programmed for both the day and night.
During the day, you could set your Worcester Combi Boiler at a temperature of 6 to 8°C if you’re not home. At night, when you’re nice and covered up, then you can consider lowering the temperature to 14 or 15°C.
Best Settings for a Worcester Bosch Wave System
This is another invaluable control on Worcester Bosch boilers which enables you to regulate your central heating and hot water from anywhere around the world. That means, if you’re away on your summer holidays you can be safe in the knowledge that you can still control your boiler’s settings.
Based on heating and hot water charts, the system allows you to regulate your home’s temperature, and therefore save on energy bills – something which is particularly important at the minute.
The system also enables your Worcester Bosch Greenstar Combi boiler to achieve an A+ efficiency rating. With the system you can also activate holiday mode which ensures your boiler is running just enough to prevent the valves and other components from seizing up. During the winter, it would be best to set your thermostat at a minimum temperature of 5°C to prevent the boiler and pipework around your home from freezing.
Ideal Settings for a Weather Compensation Controller
Weather Compensators work alongside an outdoor sensor monitoring the weather. It’s quite similar to a load compensator, except that with weather compensators, the outdoor sensor monitors external temperatures.
When the temperature outside drops, your central heating increases its output to produce more heat. Conversely, when the temperature increases, the central heating output is decreased.
Worcester Bosch boilers come with a highly advanced Greenstar Sense II compensator. As a thermostat, Greenstar Sense comes with six settings that enable users to tailor their heating system according to their needs. The controller can potentially increase energy efficiency by as much as 4%.
Load Compensation Controls
This is another valuable control that can help you significantly save on your energy bills. Load compensators work by regulating the radiator output in a room. If the temperature in the house decreases, the radiators will increase their output and release more heat. When the temperature in the house goes down, the radiators decrease their output and release less heat.
Ultimately, the best settings for your boiler depends on your central heating and hot water needs. Having a thermostat at a temperature ranging between 18 to 23°C and hot water ranging between 55 to 60°C gives you a ballpark estimate of what you’ll want to set your boiler to.
You can also improve the efficiency of your boiler with other controls such as Programmable Room Thermostats and Weather or Load Compensation controls. Increasing the efficiency of your boiler not only saves you money but your boiler becomes more eco-friendly, too. Something which we’re all looking to improve upon in the midst of a global climate crisis. | <urn:uuid:76784b51-c755-460d-842c-0a245c2d8322> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://boilerchoice.com/settings-for-worcester-combi-boiler/ | 2023-09-28T17:15:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.926232 | 1,805 |
A day after Kangana Ranaut delivered a sharp response to Karan Johar’s allegations of her using the ‘woman card’ and ‘victim card’, veteran actor Shekhar Suman has jumped into the fray.
Shekhar, whose son Adhyayen Suman was once in a rocky relationship with Kangana. When asked to react to Kangana saying she plays the ‘badass card’ and not the victim card, Shekhar, as per a report by Bollywood Life, replied, “She should just keep her mouth shut, and let her work speak for herself. If you are a failure then you should have a dignity to come forward and and say I have failed miserably. You don’t always have to shout on the rooftop and say what you have done. The best thing is to just be and keep your mouth shut.”
Shekhar, who was recently attacked on Twitter for trolling the ‘failure’ of an unmentioned ‘cocained actress’, didn’t leave it at that, “I don’t like these weeping women and women who cry to everyone claiming that they were victimised, traumatised, agonised and all that. Otherwise when you are talking about equality, everybody is in the same line. But some women save their cards conveniently. You become a woman and a man according to your convenience. You say that you are the hero of the film and not the heroine. It is quite irritating to see these blubbering women who get all the support in the world from the internet. This is manufactured and fake feminism and beyond a point it is irritating. These women talk about their achievements and struggles, what the hell everyone is an achiever here.” | <urn:uuid:8bfbd776-83b3-4ce3-aa8b-7519b6bc075b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://bollywoodpapa.com/shekhar-suman-takes-dig-kangana-ask-keep-mouth-shut/ | 2023-09-28T17:20:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.971948 | 385 |
Bonito Designs have been undertaking different kinds of projects for the past couple of years. Be it a 2BHK, a 3BHK, a villa or even an independent house— we have designed interiors of every kind. We understand that every type and size of home requires a special treatment, sometimes because of their structure and sometimes because of the owner’s preference.
Till date, the Bonito team has been lucky in terms of client satisfaction. Bringing smiles to families, though sometimes difficult, has never been impossible.
Some time back we got a lead to design a Mera Homes 2 BHK apartment. Although we knew that Mera Homes is the upcoming township at the heart of the IT Hub of Whitefield, we had never designed any Mera Homes interiors before. So of course, our young and dynamic interior design team immediately started researching to find what kind of projects they are looking at. And what they found was amazing.
Mera Homes is a beautiful township in Whitefield comprising of 476 2 BHK and 3 BHK flats that have the full potential to be turned into beautiful homes with the help of an artistic mind and efficient designing. The 2 BHKs cover around 1400 sqft whereas the 3 BHKs are also huge measuring to over 1800 sqft. Needless to say, our designers are really satisfied with all the projects that have come to us from Mera Homes and are putting in their heart and soul to design them.
Do you want to see what a Mera Homes 2 BHK somewhat looks like? Well, you are in for a treat.
Once you enter, you will find a compact foyer area which leads to the hall that has dining space on one side and living space on the other. Right adjacent to the living room is a beautiful balcony to enjoy a big cup of steaming coffee on a Sunday afternoon.
Right next to the hall is the open kitchen for the aroma of food to drift over to the dining space without any hindrance at all. From the passageway connecting the hall with the kitchen area, you can get a glimpse of the second bedroom as well as the master bedroom.
The master bedroom is spacious and airy with windows on two sides whereas the second bedroom is of course a little smaller in size but equally ventilated. All in all, Mera Homes has designed their apartments in such a way that Bonito Designs’ interior designing team found it to be a cakewalk to add character and beauty to those spaces.
When team Bonito takes up a designing project, it’s bound to amaze you. Right now we are working on a lot of projects in Mera Homes and they are coming out really good. To give these homes with an appropriate feel, let’s go on a mini-tou Kphi ;yuyghby’r of these apartments.
We have started right from the foyer where people first enter and get the feel of your home. This is a rough idea about what kind of shoe racks we are implementing in these lavish apartments— simple storage with a little seating in the middle.
This beautiful partition creates a division between the foyer and the hall. As you can guess, on the right is the dining room while on the left is the spacious living area.
They say, home is where the heart is. And guess where the heart of a home lies? The dining space of course! So we took special care to make the dining room look as appetizing as the food that would be served there. We used a bit of stone cladding and a bit of wallpaper and the result was this.
So, what do you think? Did we do a good job designing this dining room?
The modular kitchen, a glimpse of which you can already see from the dining room, is our specialty. We have worked for clients who have told us that our modular kitchen alone can win any heart.
Thank you for appreciating us, Bangalore. We hope we can better ourselves more and more with every project.
The master bedroom is always a challenge to interior designers. We need to use space most effectively to give our clients a good décor with lots of storage facilities. Bonito Designs are already known for its high quality premium wardrobes. So here we are again, trying to sketch out the perfect wardrobe for a gorgeous master bedroom.
What is a master bedroom, without a king sized master wardrobe, right?
Many families have also asked for a TV unit inside the bedroom. Keeping in mind the bedroom square feet we have given them a crisp yet beautiful TV unit where they will have a full facility for a DVD player and set top box for a wonderful bed and entertainment experience.
You want an overall summary of the look?
Here you go. But just so you know, all these designs might not be from the same apartment but from two to three apartments taken together.
But they will help you form an overview about what kind of work we are doing in Mera Homes right now.
You must be wondering why living room, the most hip and happening space of every home is left for the last. Well, to use a food metaphor, it is the dessert. Remember the saying, the first impression is the last impression? Well, the living room is your first impression. The foyer area is just a prelude to the whole story. The living room is Chapter 1. This is the space to intrigue and attract.
Every client comes up with his/her own customized needs. But a spectacular living space— that is the requirement they all have in common. In our Mera Homes projects we have provided detailed attention to every little nitty gritty of designing while working on the living room. Take a look.
The image above shows a glimpse of both the couch and the puja unit we have prepared for one of our clients. Don’t worry, the puja unit is not as bare as it seems here. Let’s look at a more finished image.
See, sometimes a door can make a world of difference!
And now comes the best part— the TV Unit area. It is indeed a pleasure to design something beautiful… a furniture or an interior that people will fall in love with. But that pleasure becomes tenfold when we, at Bonito Designs see our designs coming to life. That’s the best feeling on earth. It’s like being a parent for the first time, every single time.
This is how we designed the living room of one Mera Homes apartment.
And this is how it came out to be…
So as you might have understood by now, we are having a great time designing different apartments in Mera Homes. We can play with spaces and get to add to our database of happy customers. And frankly, by now, we know all the Mera Homes floor plans by heart and can thus come up with more creative, more classy and more beautiful designs.
If you have a house at Mera Homes, please feel free to get in touch. A home is, as already said before, where the heart is. So don’t compromise on its looks and feel. You can reach us through any social network or directly through our website. Call us at +91-9019598877 A happy home awaits you.

Who is the Book Rapper?
Meet Geoff... Geoff McDonald. He's the Book Rapper...
Seven things you might want to know about me...
At the age of ten, I completed a quiz in Readers Digest. You were allowed 30 minutes to answer a bunch of questions to see if you could join Mensa. I got them all right in five minutes. I’ve been living under this delusion ever since…
I’m a book nerd. I love reading. Ideas inspire me. If I become sick, I usually take a hot bath and curl up with a good book. But, not together – I don’t like soggy books. At last count I’ve read 512 books in the past 12 years. Yes, I’ve actually counted them…
Book Rapper was born after a mini-tantrum on my couch one day. I wanted to read a book in the middle of the working week instead of doing my client work. So I made a deal with myself, if I could earn money from reading books, I could read them during the day. Given, I was reading lots of books and taking lots of notes anyway, Book Rapper was a natural extension to this – book nerd meets designer.
I used to be an architect. I studied for 7 years in Australia and the US. Then practiced for 2 years in Australia and the UK. I got bored by all the details. I don’t design buildings anymore. Now I design ideas for clients as the Ideas Architect. This could be designing a presentation, designing a board game or writing a book.
I’ve presented at conferences in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the US. This includes the two most important architectural conferences in the world. Not many Australians can say that! My biggest audience has been about a thousand people, which was a bit of a scary thrill. And, I still get nervous before every presentation!
I’ve written and self-published eight books. And, would you believe the best seller is the one I didn’t intend to publish. Oops! It’s a story for adults cleverly designed as a tale for children. I’ve just finished one called Done: Why you Fail to Finish your Projects and What to Do about it.
I love sport. I represented my high school at nine different sports. Strangely, I made the All-Australian Intervarsity Baseball team even though I’d only played a couple of times beforehand. I’ve even scored a hole in one in golf. Well sort of… These days I’m watching more than playing. Mmm… maybe I’m getting old? | <urn:uuid:f6230b65-68ef-4562-8bf5-1f579a7136f1> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://bookrapper.com/about-us/ | 2023-09-28T18:44:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.966491 | 583 |

I’m Aubrey Somers. I’ve landed my dream job. I have a great apartment and I still keep in touch with my best friend…even though he lives hundreds of miles away. I’ve even started dating again. I have a lot going for me.
It doesn’t matter that I have to take an anti-depressant everyday or see a therapist every other week. It doesn’t matter that I refuse to drive anywhere. The wreck that ruined everything I had is almost a distant memory. Almost.
But now I have two men in my life. Two men who want to be with me. Two men I never thought I’d have the chance to be with. And I feel like I’m drowning…

Happy Thanksgiving. If you're in the US, I hope you had a good time with friends and family.
If you're receiving this email it's likely that you subscribed to get updates about my book or have used one of my products (e.g Knative kn CLI cheat sheet). I have exciting news to share! ☺️
My Book, How to build a serverless app platform on Kubernetes was released on Monday 💃🏽
About the book
Businesses are modernising their application and adopting hybrid and multi-cloud approach to deliver services. This shift in application deployment has given rise to containerisation and Kubernetes being used to deploy, manage, and scale containerised applications.
With the adoption of Kubernetes, many IT divisions now build custom tools and platform for their internal developers to deploy and run code without thinking about servers and clusters. Wouldn't it be cool to learn how to build a platform that integrates many of the tools and technologies you use, and automate application delivery? Even if it's for your internal developers.
The book "How to build a serverless app platform on Kubernetes" will teach you how to do that.
You will learn how to:
1. Build a web app to deploy code from GitHub repository.
2. Run auto-scaleable applications with autoTLS using Kubernetes and Knative.
3. Automate the build and deploy process using Tekton.
4. Integrate the Tekton pipelines with GitHub.
5. Build GitHub Apps to automate code delivery (CI/CD).
6. Build container images using Cloud Native Buildpacks.
Even if you don't have immediate need to build an internal developer platform, these skills are good to have if you're building cloud-native applications.
Buy the book and learn about serverless, Knative, Tekton, GitHub Apps, Cloud Native Buildpacks, and more! I left the price open for you to pay what you want (not less than $10 🙈 🙏🏽)
Here's a sneak peak into what you will build:
You can download chapter one for free.
P.S: If you can't afford the entire book and you'd like to get it for free, please let me know.

How Is Logo Digitizing Done?
Logo digitizing is a step by step process to have your logo in the digitized process, and the embroidery service proceeds with logo embroidery once you approve the digitized logo:
Step 1: Clients’ Requirements
It is the first step for logo embroidery services to begin the logo digitizing process. Embroidery experts conduct it to help their customers feel comfortable and at ease. Clients have to share their requirements on the logo embroidery websites addressing various factors by filling up logo embroidery quotes forms. Clients can mention whether they want to get a free estimate only or want to get their order completed urgently from the embroidery service. Once the clients finish providing the details for sizes, fabric class, the number of colors, and upload an artwork logo (s), the embroidery service proceeds accordingly.
Step 2: Getting Prepared for the Artwork
The embroidery experts prepare the artwork with their creative and highly skilled digitizers who visualize the logo holistically and marginally. They dive into depth, divide it into layers/sublayers, and analyze how tiny pieces come together, observe the convergence of eclectic shades, and apply the lighting effects. They utilize a variety of techniques to identify what parts need to be amended or edited.
Step 3: Stitches’ Orders
Each business logo is unique; thus, logo embroidery experts consider different variables to decide on stitches’ order from the start to the end.

Otherwise, your digitized embroidered business logo may have irregular letters, unwanted breaks, and poor stitching spoiling your effort for having a noticeable logo embroidered on your apparel.
Step 4: Choosing the Stitch Class
Next, the logo embroidery service expertise and creativity will determine which stitch class is ideal for each part of your logo for an impeccable sew-out. Stitch categories fall as running stitch, satin stitch, and fill stitch.

Once the service feels satisfied with your logo, it will send you a digital logo. Once you (client/business owner) approve the digitized logo, the logo embroidery service proceeds with logo embroidery.

- The order of stitches is decided afterward.
- Then, the ideal stitch class is selected by the experts.
- Stitches are either push or pull based on the need to maintain the logo’s professional appearance.
- The logo is converted to the machine format and send to the client for approval. | <urn:uuid:8cb36626-6b35-4abd-ba04-d9443b889692> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://bosbos.net/business/embroidery-services-procedure-of-logo-digitizing-after-logo-embroidery-quotes/ | 2023-09-28T17:35:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.920368 | 1,140 |

Spin spin and drink!
We developed advertising communication for the Ukrainian dairy brand "Mariyka," creating a dynamic video and coming up with a playful song for the brand's new product - drinking yogurts. There is a suspicion that after reading this article and watching the advertisement, the brand's communication will stay on the front pages of your memory for a very long time.
With the launch of an entirely new product on the market, the "Mariyka" brand aimed to introduce its drinking yogurts to the audience in a way that would make them popular not only among the already established target audience. The brand team wanted to "rejuvenate" its consumers, so they turned to our creatives for help.
"We were tasked with creating an advertisement for the new product, modernizing the perception of the brand, and we confidently accepted this challenge. By choosing trendy effects and leading shooting techniques, we told the story of yogurt consumption in an "Instagrammable" location with an attractive young girl. In this way, by instilling the idea that drinking yogurt is fashionable, we engaged the youth in shaping new trends, and the added effects emotionally confirmed the underlying idea of rejuvenation" - Andrii Franchuk, Creative Director at Brain Tank.
You don't even need to imagine how exciting and interesting the shooting process was! Just watch the video and immerse yourself in the atmosphere of its creation.
Simultaneously with the visual development, a song was composed to familiarize the audience with the new drinkable product. It was essential to stay "in sync" with the mood of the video and the chosen direction of playful modernization. It turned out great, see for yourself!
Any brand, even the most well-known one, needs to keep up with
TikTok trends and constantly update itself. To achieve this, it is worth turning to creative teams that not only know and feel the trends but can use them effectively in product advertising.
Spin spin and now try to forget it!

Sweet support for the military from the business
It has been a year since the war started in the whole of Ukraine. During this time, many businesses have directed their efforts and resources towards volunteer activities, charity, and overall support for their country. For example, Bandera's honey managed to attract the attention of "neighbors" even before it started, and above all, it is honey that has the spirit of the same Bandera. But it's not just about that.
What is the project's goal?
To support the military and charge them up for the fight against the occupiers through honey that is filled with resistance, inspiration, and freedom.
Who are the creators?
The creative marketing communications agency Brain Tank, together with the event agency Ant Hill and the eco-farm Dogoda, are actively engaged in the project. The idea was presented by the prominent beekeeper of Ukraine, Viktor Yushchenko. And it was the desire to create not just a honey brand and a regular sweet treat, but something more, that urged them to the mission - to convey to others the spirit of the entire nation, unstoppable power, and eternal resistance - and so the history of the honey collection with outstanding Ukrainians began.
What has been done?
To implement the project, the team went through a difficult path. The desire to reproduce this project in all its militant and patriotic manifestations arose during the visit to the native lands of Stepan Bandera and Taras Shevchenko, and it was there that the honey was collected, which now exists in jars and already helps soldiers on the front line.
The work was diverse. From setting up the honey collection scheme in the homeland of world-famous Ukrainians to packaging, marketing, and creative solutions. Special thanks to Yuliya Yasmo from Brain Tank and Oleksiy Kulykov from Ant Hill for their contributions at every stage of production and the project as a whole.
And now take a look at the packaging, how do you like the bee with a Javelin? The military has already appreciated it.
Another interesting aspect is that anyone can buy this honey and help, because batches of collectible honey can be purchased with consideration that the amount you buy is also donated to the defenders.
Thus, honey helps the military to recharge with energy and the spirit of outstanding Ukrainians. The whole project team understands that this contribution is a contribution to victory.
The honey project is an example of how business can help the military and convey not only physical properties but also more spiritual ones. And as time shows, social responsibility is an integral part of any business that operates in conditions of war.
You can also join the project and become a patron.

Precisely what is Casual Going out with?
What is informal dating? Casual dating or a casual erotic relationship among two individuals who might have just casual gender or at least a really close mail order catologue emotional interconnection without automatically expecting or perhaps requiring your lover to make the same type of dedication as a more conventional romance would require. When we discuss about it casual seeing, we are not talking about a love affair, premarital sexual activity, or just a casual relationship that someone participates in casually. Rather, we are speaking of an intimate relationship where there is no legal or different binding agreement involved, exactly where sex is definitely engaged in delicately and just since easily, and with no intention of ever connecting both the individuals for good in a important way.
Difficulties difference among casual dating and a serious romantic relationship is that everyday dating individuals do not expect a serious relationship to materialize out of the original stage of just having fun and writing personal feelings. This does not imply however that casual dating is inherently a smaller amount fulfilling compared to the kind of romantic relationship some permanent couples engage in, as some long term couples do engage in casual dating as well. It just means that the motives behind all those casual online dating actions are different than one would normally expect in a serious relationship. This big difference can lead to some casual going out with participants growing deeper emotional bonds as well as relationships that last longer than those that would be regarded as being “casual”.
Lots of people use the term “casually dating” to describe informal sexual relationships that one partner might embark on without actually being too concerned over whether the other spouse feels the same way, or whether they think not much different from the way. This phrase is also used to describe associations like the ones that a college learner might have with a person that they have just satisfied and who’s more or less an acquaintance rather than a potential romantic spouse. Some of these scenarios are going to be a reduced amount of serious than others, based on the circumstances, but it really is still possible to have some pretty good romantic relationships developed by doing this. So what could it be that can help to make a relationship turns into more of a casual experience than one that is more or a lesser amount of based on relationship?
One reason that everyday dating could be better for you than something like a long-term marriage is that informal situations tend to give you a probability to explore your own interests. If you are just chilling out and not looking to make a long-term dedication to anyone, then you will probably be much more likely to experience all sorts of fresh and interesting things. It is part of being human to always be thinking about what is going on about us, what is happening in our area and that which we can carry out to improve existence. If you take details lightly, then you certainly will never own a chance to put those hobbies into enjoy. On the other hand, if you take things significantly and you are aiming to build a romantic relationship based on serious friendship and a wish to improve your personal life, then your casual dynamics of the communications will help you to keep the interest surviving and allow one to pursue individuals goals.
One more that casual dating can be quite a good thing for you is that it is possible to experience elements with someone who you would be unable to do with another long lasting partner. This kind of is especially true if you are the kind of person who is really not really looking to start a family with only one person which is open to many different relationships. While you are just getting together with someone you know, you can sometimes overlook the own needs and wishes and this can lead to problems.
Just about anybody that most those people who are doing informal dating performing so since they want to let go of their accessory to one person and tackle more than one person. That is certainly something that can perform well for them but it could also lead to problems if you let it step out of hand. You must be honest on your own about how often you really want for being in a long term determined relationship with someone so that you will don’t end up ruining your chances as you casually time them. Casual dating can be quite a great place to let go of attachments and can also be a fantastic place to start understanding someone new. | <urn:uuid:b6e13b05-a50d-4aee-947b-5a5995839ed8> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://brevardnc.com/uncategorized/precisely-what-is-casual-going-out-with/ | 2023-09-28T17:52:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.974298 | 873 |
The release of Sue Gray’s update report on 31st January somewhat overshadowed the Prime Minister’s announcement of a Brexit Freedoms Bill, timed to coincide with the two-year anniversary of the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union.
On exit day retained EU law became part of the UK’s legislative order, much of it (ex-EU regulations) becoming in effect, primary legislation. Bar fixing deficiencies, much of this legislation can be adjusted only by further primary legislation. The intent of the proposed Bill appears to be to change the status of retained EU law, making it easier to amend or repeal. In other words, it will contain further Henry VIII powers, building on the direction of travel set by the EU (Withdrawal) Act 2018.
The announcement was accompanied by a policy document, The Benefits of Brexit: how the UK is taking advantage of leaving the EU. This is a high level compendium of progress so far and the Government’s intent with regard to post-Brexit law-making, both in terms of process and substance. It contains little in the way of news in terms of reforms in particular areas, but provides some high level colour on the policy objectives behind the proposed Bill.
What do we know so far?
The Government’s view is that much retained EU law, being an amalgam of member state inputs, does not reflect the UK’s domestic priorities or objectives. The scale of changes required to bring EU law into line with the UK’s vision will dominate the legislative agenda for several Parliaments, reducing successive Governments’ ability to deliver more fundamental reforms. The Bill is a means of fast-tracking the procedure for changing retained EU law.
Building on the legislative mapping undertaken to prepare the statute book for Brexit, the Government is working on “an authoritative assessment” of where retained EU law is concentrated on the statute book and across sectors of our economy. The aim is to categorise retained EU law and presumably, to provide a clearer evidential basis for the broad scope of any tools required to change it. This catalogue will be published as a means of ensuring that future changes to EU law can be tracked and benchmarked.
The policy document states that the changes in status of retained EU law effected by the Bill will be “targeted” and Parliamentary scrutiny ensured, but there is currently no further detail on what is potentially a constitutionally significant development.
For the purposes of legal certainty and continuity, the principle of the supremacy of EU law was retained after Brexit to a limited extent. For example pre-existing judgments of the European Court of Justice (CJEU) remain binding on the lower courts in the UK (the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeal remain free to depart from precedent in their normal way). The Government believes that this principle is not compatible with the UK’s status as a sovereign, independent country, although quite what the impact of that would be in terms of precedent and predictability, remains to be assessed.
The Government’s review of retained EU law will therefore also encompass:
- Whether directly effective EU rights that overlap with existing domestic law rights should be retained.
- The extent to which domestic courts should follow historic decisions of the EU courts
- The role of general principles of EU law in relation to retained EU law
- How to remove retained EU law where it is declared invalid by the EU courts.
It is expected that the review will involve the Ministry of Justice since it may impact the operation of court and tribunals, and the Attorney General’s office due to the constitutional implications of changing the status of EU law.
It is clear that the Government views the Brexit Freedoms Bill as a crucial tool for delivering its vision for post-Brexit Britain. However, the Prime Minister’s announcement gave no indication on the timeline for the Bill in Parliament. The review of retained EU law is a material project which following the example of legislative preparations for Brexit, could take some time. It is possible that more details will be in the Queen’s speech in May. | <urn:uuid:678998c3-8bc9-4f96-8971-26dc75e1e525> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://brexit.slaughterandmay.com/post/102hiaa/henrys-back | 2023-09-28T19:03:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.94708 | 842 |
Tarique Qayumi has so many ideas and feels like he will eventually find his clear voice. So this sense of realization washes over the film Black Kite which extends the kite metaphor found in Khaled Hosseini’s book and extends it into a political and metaphorical treaty on Afghanistan.
Mohamed Zahir Shah and his attempts to modernize the country make up the majority of the first part of the film and the docufootage is astounding in that it reveals a history of Afghanistan modernizing that feels counterintuitive to the recent efforts of the Taliban to undo steps toward modernity. The very act of kite-flying is an act of subversion towards the state, but also a throwback to another era, and feels much more complex and balanced than, say, Ben Affleck’s introduction in Argo.
But the problem at the heart of Black Kite, what prevents the film from soaring, is that the movie almost seems to want to overwhelm its audience. If Qayumi gave Black Kite breathing room, the final scene may have been more effective. | <urn:uuid:67ed09e0-4bc3-4c80-9281-250edea1b4a3> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://brieftake.com/black-kite-tiff17-review/ | 2023-09-28T17:18:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.964497 | 225 |

The XM42 handheld flamethrower is the only thing I need to jumpstart my career as a superhero. Though it’s probably best to keep this handheld flamethrower away from me because just watching the video has me tempted to shoot flames and everything in sight.
But back to me being a superhero, could you imagine what life would be like if the makers of this handheld flamethrower over at XM42 were so kind as to send a flamethrower to the BroBible offices? We could cook bacon AND fight crime all in a day’s work. We would become unstoppable forces of flamethrowing. Just imagine the possibilities:
MARSHMALLOWS. We could cook marshmallows and bacon, AND fight evil here in NYC.
If you want to own one yourself well you’re in luck (unless you live in California). Here’s what Mashable had to say about the launching of the product:
The XM42 from Ion Productions is every pyromaniac’s dream come true: a personal, portable flamethrower that’s (amazingly still) legal everywhere except California. You’ll be able to get your own flame on for as little as $700 when the company launches its IndieGoGo campaign on March 23rd.
It spews a column of 87 Octane flame up to 25 feet and, according to the product website, is suitable for everything from clearing snow and ice to insect control. The XM42 will be available in three finishes: brushed aluminum for $699 and either a polished aluminum or colored powder coat for $799. | <urn:uuid:a216b7b0-5a8f-4475-b574-bcd18cae0e2a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://brobible.com/gear/article/xm42-handheld-flamethrower/ | 2023-09-28T17:57:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.946696 | 343 |
B’nei Eretz Yisrael start saying v’sain tal u’mattar this Monday evening at Maariv. Chu”l people start saying it this year on December 4 at Maariv (it is a Monday night).
If a person forgot to say “v’sain tal u’mattar” in birkas hashanim:
- if he did not yet say the Name of HaShem at the conclusion of the beracha, he hould go back to the words”v’sain tal u’mattar” and continue from there.
- if he already said the Name of HaShem, he should continue and say “v’sain…” in the beracha of sh’ma koleinu.
- if he already said the Name of HaShem at the conclusion of the beracha of sh’ma koleinu, but not the next word, he should say “lamdeinu chukecho”, then say “v’sain…” and then continue “ki atta shome’ah…”
- if he said even one word after the shem HaShem of the conclusion of the beracha of sh’ma koleinu, but did not yet start retzei, he should conclude the beracha of shomei’a tefillah, say the phrase “v’sain…”, and then start retzei…
- if he started retzei, he must then go back to the beracha “boreich aleinu” and say shemoneh essrei from there again.
- if he said the yiheyu l’ratzon at the end of shemoneh essrei that he says just before he takes the three steps back, he must repeat the shemoneh esrei over again.
If you (a Ben Eretz Yisrael) are in chu”l between Sunday night and Dec 4:
- If you have begun saying “v’sain…” then continue saying it .
- If you are in chu”l before this coming Monday night (Nov 7), then from this coming Monday night and on say it in “shome’a Tefillah.” (Do this for as long as you are in Chu”l. If you are still in Chu”l on Dec 4, then on this day resume saying it in the correct place).
- if you are davening as the sheli’ach tzibbur, always daven with their nussach. | <urn:uuid:65094ad7-8337-44ec-8237-2245cbf8a891> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://btya.org/shabbos-bulletin-parshas-noach-5777/ | 2023-09-28T18:31:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.887294 | 597 |
