Alcohol use and disorders (AUD) are ubiquitous, yet persistent problems worldwide. Etiological studies using twins and families suggest that shared environmental factors play a key role in alcohol use initiation and early consumption. As alcohol involvement progresses over the course of development, individual differences in severity of use and problematic symptoms appear to be attributed more to genetic differences. Whole genome studies suggest that a multitude of single nucleotide polymorphisms, each of a small effect, contribute to AUD and have pleiotropic effects with other traits and diseases, such as executive functions (EF), impulsivity, and other drug use. While informative, genetic correlations using post-hoc genome-wide association study test-statistics provide limited information on how these associations manifest over development and the life course. Herein, I present two studies that examine how EF and impulsivity—key features of addiction neurobiology (i.e., preoccupation/anticipation, binge/intoxication, and withdrawal/negative affect)—relate to AUD from adolescence to early adulthood in two discrete samples. In Study 1, I leverage the neurobiological theory of addiction to examine prospective associations between individual differences in EF domains with drinking trajectories and AUD. Specifically, I employ a series of mediation models to examine the prospective associations between EF domains and a common latent factor model of lifetime AUD symptoms, as well as the extent to which that relationship is mediated by distinct drinking trajectories. Evidence from this study suggests that the probability of membership within drinking trajectory classes may not be acting mechanistically on the relationship between EF and AUD. Instead, drinking trajectories and EF act independently to predict lifetime AUD. Furthermore, twin models of the drinking trajectories suggest that likelihood of class membership is influenced primarily by shared and unique environmental influences, as opposed to genetic influences. In Study 2, I characterize the adjusted direct and indirect effects of polygenic influences from EF, impulsivity traits, alcohol consumption and AUD on the Common Latent Factor of Lifetime AUD using multi-trait polygenic models within a hierarchical multiple mediation framework. Polygenic influences from Common EF and most impulsivity traits (apart from sensation seeking) did not have a direct effect on drinking trajectories and AUD, whereas polygenic influences based on alcohol consumption and AUD diagnoses had modest direct effects that were partially independent of each other. Overall, these findings shed new light on the domains of EF across development and their effects on lifetime AUD, particularly in the context of drinking trajectories and genetic liabilities.

This case study breaks down a beautiful "boy brows" transformation by senior artist Kim Anh from Tina Davies Studio.
Manny is someone who had long-wanted thicker, fuller eyebrows all his life but never found the right artist that he could trust. In an industry where the majority of clients are women looking for ‘makeup’-style eyebrows, his concern was that he might end up committing to something that would look too feminine for his own style and facial structure.
After searching online for a year, he came across my work through a mutual friend and instantly knew that she could deliver the right results for him. Manny’s inspiration was Zac Efron - an actor who owns one of the world’s most famous set of man-brows.
During the consultation, I examined Manny’s skin type, texture, and growth pattern. As this was Manny’s first permanent makeup experience, I had a blank canvas to create a beautiful set of bespoke man-brows.
Manny’s skin type is non-sensitive Fitzpatrick 3, apple-like skin, making him the ideal candidate for microblading. A mix of Bold Brown and Ebony were the perfect match so that once healed, the results would be soft yet bold enough to blend with this naturally dark and dense eyebrows. Ebony alone may have healed too ashy for his skin tone so mixing the two colors were the perfect choice for him.
Manny LOVED the finished outcome! He closely followed his aftercare steps and healed excellently with no concerns or issues.
Manny was so excited about his healed results - they’re even better than the brows he has always dreamt of!

Journalist Robert K. Elder has authored one of those cool, catch-all books about the movies that should appeal to film fans of every stripe and persuasion. The Best Films You’ve Never Seen compiles interviews with directors defending their favorite overlooked or critically dismissed films. Elder, editor-in-chief for Chicago Sun-Times Media Local, calls such films “outcast classics.”
Whether it’s Danny Boyle (28 Days Later) digging into the erratic pleasures of Nicolas Roeg’s Eureka, John Dahl (Rounders) discussing David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me or Richard Linklater (Before Sunrise) extolling the virtues of Vincente Minnelli’s Some Came Running, Elder’s book is a treasure trove for anyone interested in the distinct pleasures of (re)discovering great — flawed, strange, difficult, but great — movies. EW caught up with Elder before he heads to the Bijou (on 13th Avenue) to host the screening of A Man For All Seasons and to discuss his book 7 pm Thursday, Oct. 17.
Why a book on critically savaged or forgotten films as presented by the directors who love them?
My challenge to these directors was: Let’s rewrite film history together. I wanted them to defend movies that were close to their hearts but for some reason had been dismissed by critics and/or lost to the general public. It’s the kind of conversations film geeks have all the time — but I wanted to give it the actual weight of a book and try to bring these films to new audiences.
Between concept and execution, how did this project change? Did it turn out how you expected, and/or were you surprised by the results?
The project itself didn’t change, though I did — I found myself loving films because the directors I talked to loved them, even if they were not my cup of tea upon first viewing. I also found myself arguing with directors about what belonged in the book and what didn’t. For example, Kevin Smith chose A Man For All Seasons, which we are showing [Oct. 17] at the Bijou. Since it swept the Oscars in 1966, including Best Actor and Best Film, I argued that it didn’t belong in the book. But Smith stuck to his guns and said, “That makes it even more tragic, because no one ever talks about it anymore.” And he was right. It’s an extraordinary movie that everyone needs to see.
If you can answer sweepingly, do you find there are universal qualities in great movies that somehow fall through the cracks? Why do these movies fail in the broad sense?
Some, like Orson Welles’ F For Fake, were simply ahead of their time. Audiences weren’t ready for them. Others might have failed commercially, but have longer lives with audiences (It’s a Wonderful Life, though not in the book, is the prime example). Still others were smaller movies that hit a chord with the directors who chose them: The Super Cops was hugely influential on Edgar Wright (Hot Fuzz), and Atom Egoyan loved The Homecoming so much that he later cast star Ian Holm in The Sweet Hereafter.
What are some of your favorite interviews?
I dare you to read John Waters praising Boom! — a box office bomb with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton — and not see the world through his eyes. The same goes for Warm Bodies director Jonathan Levine’s reassessment of Can’t Stop the Music. That’s right, the Village People musical.
Finally, I noticed you haven’t had a chance to discuss your own personal forgotten or savaged classic. Is there one particular film you’d like to champion here?
I love a few films that never found an audience. First among them is Panic, one of two films made by Homicide: Life on the Street director Henry Bromell. It’s about two generations of hit men, played by Donald Sutherland and William H. Macy. I also think Robert Towne’s Without Limits — also starring Donald Sutherland — is amazing. It’s the second of two films about Steve Prefontaine, this one with Billy Crudup in the lead. | <urn:uuid:9ac52491-6be5-45fd-b1f6-a332a30446ec> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://eugeneweekly.com/2013/10/17/play-it-again/ | 2023-09-28T17:46:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.957495 | 902 |
Beginning of the End for Mainline Republicans and Democrats ?
Is there a bigger meaning to Eric Cantor’s defeat yesterday? While I am not a Tea Party fan or a Libertarian, I do have agreement with some of their economic beliefs. The fact that mainline Republicans and Democrats have held the Federal Reserves hand through all of this wild eyed economic policy since 1994 makes them very vulnerable to grassroots voters. Inequality has been the main effect. This has to end. | <urn:uuid:bdc38333-1bbf-4f4a-b663-8904bf9ffac7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://eureka-perspectives.com/2014/06/beginning-end-mainline-republicans-democrats/ | 2023-09-28T16:52:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.96746 | 94 |
European Food Security Agency (EFSA) launched end of July the #EUChooseSafeFood communication campaign that will run until end October 2021. In 2021, the campaign will focus in nine countries: Austria, Croatia, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, and Spain. In the coming years, countries will rotate.
The campaign is raising awareness about the science behind our food and tell the story of the scientists who work to make sure it’s safe. Its overall goal is to encourage citizens to think critically about their everyday food choices. The campaign targets a non-specialised citizen audience, aged 25-45, with an extra focus on women and young parents. This audience is interested in well-being, health, cooking, an active lifestyle and/or food safety topics, but may sometimes feel overwhelmed by the complexity of information available.
You can access the main campaign page for each country (translated) of the EU official microsite #EUChooseSafeFood
For the 9 focus countries of this year the microsite is localised with specific content/topics.

Community College of Vermont programs are critical to the residents of Rutland Vermont, a rural, distressed community with high poverty and unemployment rates, and median incomes below the statewide median. Construction of the West and Wales facility enabled the Rutland site, the fastest growing Vermont Community College site, to better serve the community with increased classroom space. Over 1,000 students a week pass through the doors of CCV. For the community of Rutland, this investment allowed the College to remain downtown, remediated a contaminated site, and brings employees, faculty and students as potential customers to downtown retailers—transforming a major city gateway from an eyesore to a thriving downtown business district.
Gap and Investment
The new $8.5 million Community College facility appraised at $6.9 million. Its low value limited traditional financing and despite the use of Recovery Zone Facility Bonds, a Vermont Economic Development Authority loan, and sponsor equity, the development budget was left with a significant gap. Vermont Rural Ventures filled this gap with an investment of just over $2 million from New Markets Tax Credit equity. | <urn:uuid:43258dbc-08df-4d7e-bc46-79d8b4fd9578> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://evernorthus.org/project/community-college-of-vermont/ | 2023-09-28T17:58:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.929397 | 221 |
How Many Babies Do Rats Have at One Time?
Rats are notorious for their ability to reproduce rapidly, making them one of the most successful mammal species on the planet. Their rapid breeding cycle and large litters contribute to their population growth, which can be a challenge when it comes to pest control. In this article, we will explore how many babies rats have at one time and answer some frequently asked questions about their reproduction.
Rats are known for their high fertility rates and short gestation periods. Female rats, also called does, can become sexually mature as early as five weeks of age. Male rats, or bucks, reach sexual maturity at around six to seven weeks. Once sexually mature, rats can mate and reproduce throughout the year, with no specific breeding season.
On average, a female rat can have six to twelve babies, known as pups, in a single litter. However, litters can range from one to as many as 20 pups, depending on various factors such as the health and age of the mother, environmental conditions, and availability of resources. The pups are born hairless, blind, and deaf, but they develop rapidly, opening their eyes within 14 to 17 days and becoming independent at around three weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions:
1. How many litters can a female rat have in a year?
A female rat can have up to seven litters in a year.
2. How long is the gestation period for rats?
The gestation period for rats is approximately 21 to 23 days.
3. Can rats reproduce asexually?
No, rats cannot reproduce asexually. They require the sperm of a male rat to fertilize their eggs.
4. Do all the pups survive in a litter?
Not all the pups in a litter may survive due to various factors such as predation, competition, or inadequate resources.
5. How long does it take for baby rats to become sexually mature?
Baby rats reach sexual maturity at around five to six weeks of age.
6. How soon after giving birth can a female rat get pregnant again?
A female rat can mate and become pregnant within 24 hours after giving birth.
7. How long do rats live?
Rats have a lifespan of approximately two to three years in the wild, but they can live up to five years in captivity.
8. Can rats mate with their offspring?
Yes, rats can mate with their offspring, which can contribute to rapid population growth if not controlled.
9. Can rats mate with other rodent species?
In rare cases, rats can mate with other rodent species, such as mice, but the offspring are often sterile.
10. Are all rat species prolific breeders?
Most rat species are prolific breeders, but there may be variations in litter size and reproductive rates among different species.
11. Can rats have multiple fathers for a single litter?
Yes, it is possible for a single litter to have multiple fathers, as female rats can mate with multiple males during their fertile period.
12. How can I control rat populations around my home?
To control rat populations, it is essential to eliminate food sources, seal entry points, and employ traps or professional extermination services if necessary.
In conclusion, rats have the potential to reproduce rapidly, with an average litter size ranging from six to twelve pups. Their high fertility rates and ability to mate throughout the year contribute to their population growth. Understanding their reproductive patterns can be useful in managing rat populations effectively. | <urn:uuid:a68d239b-6dd9-480c-b44c-fa392a9f1aff> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://everynewborn.org/how-many-babies-do-rats-have-at-one-time/ | 2023-09-28T17:51:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.96018 | 734 |
When Does a Baby Teeth?
Watching your baby grow and develop is an incredible experience for any parent. One significant milestone that parents eagerly await is the appearance of their baby’s first teeth. The timing of when a baby starts teething can vary, but typically occurs within the first year of life. In this article, we will explore the teething process and answer some frequently asked questions about baby teeth.
Teething is the process of a baby’s primary teeth, also known as milk teeth or baby teeth, breaking through the gums. It is a natural and necessary part of a child’s development. Most babies start teething around six to eight months of age, although it can happen as early as three months or as late as twelve months. The duration of the teething process varies as well, with some babies experiencing it for several months, while others go through it relatively quickly.
Now, let’s address some of the frequently asked questions about teething:
1. How can I tell if my baby is teething?
Some common signs of teething include increased drooling, irritability, swollen gums, chewing on objects, and a slight rise in body temperature.
2. What can I do to soothe my baby’s teething pain?
You can offer your baby a clean teething ring or a cold washcloth to chew on. Massaging their gums gently with a clean finger can also provide relief. If the pain seems severe, consult your pediatrician about appropriate pain relief options.
3. When will my baby’s first tooth appear?
The first tooth typically appears on the lower front gums, known as the central incisors. However, every baby is different, and the timing can vary.
4. How many teeth will my baby have by their first birthday?
By the time they celebrate their first birthday, most babies will have around six to eight teeth.
5. Do all babies experience discomfort during teething?
While most babies do experience some level of discomfort during teething, not all of them will exhibit noticeable signs of pain.
6. Can teething cause fever?
Mild fever is sometimes associated with teething, but a high fever is not typically caused by teething alone. If your baby has a high fever, it is important to consult a healthcare professional.
7. How should I care for my baby’s teeth once they appear?
You can start by gently brushing your baby’s teeth with a soft-bristled toothbrush and water. Once your child reaches the age of two, you can introduce a small amount of fluoride toothpaste.
8. When should I schedule my baby’s first dental visit?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends scheduling your baby’s first dental visit within six months of their first tooth eruption or by their first birthday.
9. Can teething cause diarrhea?
There is no scientific evidence linking teething to diarrhea. If your baby experiences diarrhea during teething, it is likely coincidental.
10. Is it normal for teeth to appear out of order?
Yes, it is normal for teeth to erupt in a different order for different babies. It is more important to focus on the overall progression of tooth eruption.
11. Can teething disrupt my baby’s sleep?
Some babies may experience disrupted sleep patterns during teething due to discomfort. Establishing a soothing bedtime routine can help alleviate this issue.
12. When will my baby start losing their baby teeth?
Most children will begin losing their baby teeth around the age of six or seven, with the process continuing until their early teens.
Remember, every baby’s teething journey is unique. If you have any concerns or questions about your baby’s teething process, it is always best to consult your pediatrician or a pediatric dentist. | <urn:uuid:6e7123da-36ac-495b-9123-4ef405e0e384> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://everynewborn.org/when-does-a-baby-teeth/ | 2023-09-28T17:04:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.944221 | 833 |

This article argues for the importance of rewriting the conventional atrocity narrative about violence in King Leopold's Congo Free State in relation to the present, the ongoing war-related humanitarianism and sexual violence in the DRC. The central idea is to push beyond the shock and tenacity of the visual, the ubiquitous mutilation photographs that tend to blot out all else; and instead seek weaker, more fragile acoustic traces in a diverse archive with Congolese words and sounds. | <urn:uuid:057a0d00-f61c-47e6-b541-b7e1c38b9d0d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://expertfile.com/experts/professornancyrose.hunt/nancy-rose-hunt | 2023-09-28T17:31:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.855545 | 377 |

How to have a 90% or more chance of winning?
Currently, two new dragons have been added to League of Legends, one of them opens portals on the map and gives a Statik effect when attacked, while the other provides “re-life” and invisibility in certain areas if we have their souls.
Riot has repeatedly emphasized that in case one of the dragons is too strong, you can expect fast nerfs. Looking at the statistics, it’s hard not to conclude that the developers are already considering nerfs.
Which dragon is worth getting?
Probably everyone knows how important dragons are. Their souls, i.e. 4 dragons eliminated by one team, give a lot, especially if they are collected early in the game. Now, however, two more have been added in the preseason that players say is even stronger.
We are mainly talking about a chemtech dragon, which gives our team a second chance, i.e. a free Sion passive with the ability to use all summoners and skills for a few seconds.
After killing him, your team will receive increased damage with low health, which will allow you to make up for losses in even team fights. Dragon Soul provides a second chance at life… sort of. After death, the hero goes into the “zombie state”. He can still use skills and take part in combat instead of being stuck in a gray screen. As the dragon distorts the map, it creates camouflage zones in designated areas.
What does it mean? That after defeating a strong opponent, such as Yasuo or Yone, he is able to revive, and when we do not have the key skills, simply defeat us.
- ALSO – Has Arcane changed the meta in League of Legends? Which of the heroes is the most popular right now?
As a result, a whole lot of unpleasant opinions have appeared on the Internet from the community, many of which believe that this is definitely an exaggeration. This is also shown by statistics from leagueofgraphs.com:
Although each soul gives an over 80% chance of winning, chemtech soul is the strongest one, and once it’s won, it’s hard to lose a match. Remember, however, that this is not the only contribution of the dragon.
Usually, the drake is taken by the team with the advantage and the better prio, which also contributes to the win. All in all, if we want to win more matches now, we should pay a lot of attention to the bottom river monster. | <urn:uuid:43cc7692-6896-424a-948e-c9f583f20770> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://exrode.com/league-of-legends/how-to-virtuallysecure-your-lol-win-91-winrate-must-have-caught-riots-attention | 2023-09-28T18:26:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.964365 | 528 |

Most healthy adults need an eye examination every one to two years. Diabetics and those over 60 should be examined annually, and patients with vision disorders need more frequent appointments.
Contact lens patients require an annual examination to make sure their lenses are fitting properly and to renew their prescription. You should schedule a refraction before ordering new eyeglasses, even if you recently had an appointment for an ocular condition.
When you arrive for your appointment, always bring your current eyeglasses, contact lenses and a pair of sunglasses in case dilation is needed. Also, please bring a list of medications you are taking, your most recent insurance card(s) and any necessary referrals and co-pays.
Our optometrists (Doctors of Optometry/OD) perform routine examinations, and can diagnose and treat many eye diseases. At annual well-eye appointments, they may dilate your eyes to check for health, refract to accurately prescribe eyeglasses and take measurements to find your best contact lens fit. Our optometrists work closely with our ophthalmologists to insure you are getting the best care for your eyes.
When a more comprehensive examination is needed, a patient may be scheduled for both an MD and OD appointment on the same day. Additional eye tests may be performed on the day of your visit or at a future appointment. Therefore, please be aware that the duration of your appointment may vary.
Our ophthalmologists (Medical Doctors/MD) generally care for patients with eye disease, vision changes, pain, new symptoms or a family history of ocular problems. Patients are often referred for a medical or surgical evaluation by their primary care physician or an outside optometrist. Drs. Armstrong, George, Cohen and Will are committed to keeping your doctor informed by reporting back on your treatment plan. Our ophthalmologists are also available for second opinions for patients considering surgery or seeking to confirm a diagnosis.
The Five Parts of a Routine Eye Examination
After you read lines on an eye chart, the eye doctor diagnoses any refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia, astigmatism).
- External Exam
The eye doctor assesses your eyelid function, pupil response, movement of your eye muscles and peripheral vision.
- Slit Lamp Examination
This test looks at the front of your eye (cornea, lens, iris) and measures intraocular pressure.
- Retina Examination
The back of eye (optic nerve, macula, retina) is examined. Your doctor determines whether you require a dilated retina examination.
- Consultation and Recommendations
Your eye doctor will review your health history and results of the examination. Recommendations for correcting your vision and treating any eye conditions found during the exam will then be discussed with you. | <urn:uuid:8da1c3b9-3d70-4a97-9a22-67b912ec0282> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://eye-mds.org/services/eye-examinations | 2023-09-28T18:06:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.925493 | 578 |
Growing up as a plucky whelp in Canada during the 90s, I was lucky to have experienced what I believe to be the perfect interpretation of Halloween.
The autumn leaves drifting lazily by; the tacky, elaborate decorations adorning the various front yards I was to invade… it was magical and pure, and probably goes a long way as to influencing the fact that I still care about the holiday to this day.
The only memories that are not created equal, however, are of what I brought to the table. Though the exact number of times I would go trick-or-treating in full regalia has been lost to the folds of time, I can vividly recollect five instances that I would like to rank for your edification.
It’s like choosing your favourite child, except all of the children are me. That’s a bit of an existential practice, make sure you aren’t too harsh on the various iterations of my being.
5. Hockey mask
Alas, my last traditional Halloween would turn out to be the most forgettable one, as I was sans costume, for the most part.
Near as my anamnesis will allow, I was somewhat under the weather this particular year, disallowing an opportunity to really deck out with an impressive outfit. To stave off the chilly October evening, I merely rugged up in a warm jumper with a cheap plastic hockey mask covering my face.
This was, of course, an old-fashioned hockey mask of the Jason Voorhees variety (I wasn’t cosplaying as Kirk McLean) with the only notable feature being that it glowed in the dark.
Due to the rudimentary nature of this wardrobe choice, it could only ever claim bottom honours. This was also the year where one of the items I received on my rounds was a piece of paper declaring that they considered Halloween to be sacrilegious, and invited people to return a few months later to celebrate the lord’s holiday, Christmas Day.
I wonder if I could still take them up on this offer? I swear I won’t wear the hockey mask this year.
Over my years of blogging, I have hammered this point into the ground, but I’ll repeat it one last time for clarity: dinosaurs were fucking huge in the 90s.
The only reason I became a Toronto Raptors fan in the first place was because Jurassic Park introduced me to velociraptors, and as a west coast kid, I sure dodged the bullet that was the godforsaken Vancouver Grizzlies.
Strangely enough, I never really took full advantage of my obsession with the prehistoric, only ever prancing about as a dinosaur for one lone Halloween season. This getup was your standard green one-piece fare, adorned with cardboard spikes going up the back.
It was serviceable enough, and I’d imagine the only reason a stegosaurus was the choice was because it’s one of the few dinosaurs that is actually discernible in costume form. A velociraptor would just end up looking like a large lizard, after all, and could easily be mistaken for a komodo dragon, a newt, or Chris Bosh.
3. Some sort of monster or something
My mom was rather adept with a needle, I’ll have you know. In this instance, I am referring to a sewing needle, as I have no indication that she moonlit as a heroin junkie.
She could whip up any manner of arts and crafts, and I reflect with fondness one instance in grade 1 or 2, in which we were supposed to assemble some sort of fancy hat. My mom opted for a bug-squashing theme, constructing a fabulous shoe out of paper that sat atop the crown, alongside a pair of hands that squashed various insects.
I was awarded written acknowledgement for my “hand”some shoe hat, though it was clear to everyone that I had had no involvement in the creative process whatsoever. That story is not at all relevant, but it makes me smile.
This Halloween, mom showcased her skills once again, recreating a costume that I believe was from Women’s Weekly or a similar publication. I’m not sure how close she got to the original design, but I’d posit that my version was superior in every way.
2. Sonic the Hedgehog
This is the big one, and it’s startling that it could only net the silver position on the podium. Startling only to myself, obviously, as nobody else would really give much of a shit one way or the other.
After years of admiration for the blue blur that would sometimes border on obsessive, in 1995 my journey was complete: I am become Sonic, the destroyer of robots.
Look at that body suit right there. Do you see the logo on the chest? This is an officially licensed, way-past-cool item of hedgehog memorabilia, and I was proud to strut myself through the streets of Courtenay that October evening, like a festive otherkin prostitute.
The only drawback was when my nose fell off. By that, I mean the nose on the mask, not my literal nose. It stands to reason that if it had been the latter, I would not look back on this costume with such reverence.
Even better, it still fit like a glove more than twenty years later.
Though this maligned attempt at a 90s gaming mascot never quite reached the lofty height of his contemporaries, he can at least take solace in the fact that for this one, fleeting moment, he is #1.
When he first hit consoles in 1993, Bubsy the Bobcat caused quite a stir. Revisionist history would tell you that people were always repulsed by his overbearing personality, and yet, that is simply not true. Bubsy was much like any other character of his era; sassy, impatient and loaded with energy. The original game was also not too bad, and I will argue this fervently for as long as it takes until people believe me.
Whatever Bubsy was supposed to do or supposed to be, his marketing seemed to work like a charm on my impressionable five-year-old mind. Even before I could read, I was spending hours on end gazing in fascination at the illustrated story in the instruction manual.
That year, I knew for sure that I had to be Bubsy the Bobcat. It’s likely the best decision I’ve ever made in my whole life, and I think the results speak for themselves.
Tongue-clackers out there will perhaps deride the fact that my costume had a green exclamation mark on the shirt, whereas it has always been depicted as red. Here’s the thing though, and it’s the cherry on top: I was the player two version of Bubsy, and his exclamation mark was green.
Checkmate. Mic drop. Go fuck yourself. Whatever the preferred form of gloating is, I can say with confidence that I won Halloween in 1993. Perhaps next year, to celebrate three decades of bobcat mayhem, I should bring this look back for another spin.

An interesting rumor and some other thoughts on the release of the Cleveland Browns schedule, as we now all play the schedule game for 2020.
The Cleveland Browns schedule for 2020 is out as the team opens up the season in Baltimore against the Ravens.
An interesting nugget surrounding the release involves the Browns playing in London.
Cleveland would’ve played Jacksonville in on Nov. 1 in London, had the league not cancelled the international series as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to TheLandonDemand’s Tony Grossi (subscription).
Instead, the Browns will play at Jacksonville on Nov. 29.
The Browns last played in London during the 2017 season, when Hue Jackson and DeShone Kizer traveled across the pond to play the Minnesota Vikings. Of course, it didn’t work out for the Browns.
Some other impressions from the schedule release:
1. The Browns open up against Baltimore for the first time since 2004, which consequently, is the last the time the Browns won the season opener.
2. That game was played in Cleveland of course, and now Kevin Stefanski will take his team into one of the hardest places to play. The NFL seemed to bend over backwards the last few years, scheduling winnable games for Cleveland in Week 1. Now, the Browns get the juggernaut Ravens and Lamar Jackson.
3. All that being said, it would be totally Browns for Cleveland to go in their and stun Baltimore. Even Freddie Kitchens was able to pull that off. Do they have a chance? Sure, however, I’m not holding my breath.
4. The Odell show goes back-to-back, with the Browns playing at the Giants on Dec. 20 then the Jets on Dec. 26 or 27th.
5. So much for the speculation that had teams backloading their schedules with divisional opponents. The Browns play the Ravens Dec. 14 and wrap up the campaign against the Steelers Jan. 3. Before the Browns play the Ravens, the last time Cleveland will see see a divisional foe is Oct. 25, when the Browns play at Cincinnati.
6. The Thursday night contest comes early, as Joe Burrow leads the Bengals into FirstEnergy Stadium. It will likely be Burrow’s second professional game and there will be plenty of eyes who want to see the homegrown Buckeye take the stage in the Battle of Ohio.
7. Dallas on Oct. 4 stands out, as does images of Kellen Winslow breaking his leg playing on special teams for Butch Davis back in 2004.
8. As previously mentioned, the Browns conclude against the Steelers. The Ravens are the hyped team right now, and rightfully so, but it feels like Pittsburgh is the hurdle Cleveland needs to clear to end it’s playoff drought. With seven teams eligible for the postseason, this game could be huge if the Browns are gunning for a Wild Card berth. | <urn:uuid:5db0ee9e-4b48-4283-97f3-d68f368c3aab> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://factoryofsadness.co/2020/05/07/cleveland-browns-2020-schedule-release-browns-wouldve-played-london/ | 2023-09-28T18:32:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.959442 | 609 |
Baker Mayfield had a great first half against the Colts, then the line broke down in the second half and Mayfield got tagged twice while throwing the ball. Ironically both passes he got hit on were turned into interceptions. It wasn’t just the hits that Mayfield took, as the Browns quarterback was hit big several times against the Colts as well. Partly because Wyatt Teller was out with a thigh injury. With Teller looking like he won’t play, star running back Nick Chubb still out for the Steelers, and Kareem Hunt not being the best runner between the tackles, it looks very much like Mayfield will need to step up against the Steelers.
Mayfield can play in the NFL. He’s been accurate in a lot of his games this year, and when he’s not being forced to deal with a one-dimensional offense, he’s shown to be very efficient. The problem is against the Colts and Ravens, for vastly different reasons, the Browns offense became very predictable. Both teams made Mayfield the only offensive threat and Kevin Stefanksi’s scheme relies on being able to share the workload. If not, then the whole plan falls apart. Establishing Mayfield early with some good play calling and making sure he’s protected is paramount to a Browns’ victory. | <urn:uuid:e02548a1-0174-4eb1-bc86-05d1197857b7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://factoryofsadness.co/2020/10/14/cleveland-browns-3-players-who-need-to-step-up-against-the-steelers/2/ | 2023-09-28T18:37:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.97616 | 282 |
Former Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield is on the move once again.
The Cleveland Browns’ former first overall pick Baker Mayfield is not having a good 2022. He was pushed out of his spot in favor of embattled assaulter Deshaun Watson and then was traded to the Carolina Panthers for what will now end up being a fifth-round draft pick. A combination of bad coaching, poor schemes, injuries, and inconsistent play led to Mayfield getting benched in favor of Sam Darnold.
The Panthers then demoted him to the third-string quarterback. That on its own wasn’t much to write about, but after injuries to Lamar Jackson and Jimmy Garoppolo, it appeared Mayfield saw his chance and requested his release. He ultimately got it and now looks like the favorite to land in San Francisco to replace Garoppolo, who is out for the year with a broken foot.
Should the 49ers have interest, and there’s a good reason they should, Mayfield will have his best shot at resurrecting his career with the 49ers. There may be no better quarterback guru right now in the NFL than Kyle Shanahan.
Shanahan’s career is built around getting the most out of quarterbacks. Obviously, what he’s done in San Francisco with Garoppolo is obvious, but he also guided Matt Ryan to the MVP while they were both in Atlanta. Shanahan was also why the Browns went 7-9 in 2014 with Brian Hoyer at quarterback.
In 2012 and 2013, he developed Robert Griffin III and Kirk Cousins, and before that, he turned Matt Schaub of the Houston Texans into a Pro Bowler. Shanahan is as close to a quarterback guru as they come.
If he can’t rebuild Mayfield, it’s unlikely no one can.
There is hope that Kyle Shanahan could get the most out of Baker Mayfield
Should Mayfield go to San Francisco, it would boggle my mind if it doesn’t end up there, we very well may see the same Mayfield who lit up the league in 2018 and 2020. He was a good quarterback for a spell and even hit the Top 10 in QBR for 2020. He can be a good quarterback when he’s in the right system and has the right coach.
This isn’t a question of if he can get there, it’s only a matter of how he can get back there. Was the injury that bad in 2021 that it messed up his mechanics that much? Was Matt Rhules that bad of a coach (yes)?
We’re going to find out.
His arrival in San Francisco as of right now is speculative at best, but should he join the league’s best defense and a stacked corp of offensive playmakers, we may see the best version of Mayfield yet, or his last best shot at proving his doubters wrong. | <urn:uuid:98e7deb5-cab6-4c38-9557-b0b1efbc347f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://factoryofsadness.co/2022/12/05/kyle-shanahan-is-baker-mayfields-last-best-hope-to-resurrect-his-career/ | 2023-09-28T17:25:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.974366 | 602 |

"We ARE our leaders," says me on the alien spaceship. "Klaatu barada nikto!"

"Beware - it walks down walls!" says Giblets.
"We shall treasure it always," says the aliens. "But please - tell us of this Test."
"The initiates are divided into two teams of five players each," says me. "One team is called 'shirts' on accounta they wear shirts an the other is called 'skins' on accounta they wear the skins a their defeated opponents."
"They fight for possession of a ball with vast ceremonial significance," says Giblets. "Axes and firearms are barred by regulation."
"An then we release the dragons," says me.
"The winning team devours the guts of the losing team and adds their chi to its own," says Giblets, "after four rounds of tournament play."
"Your culture seems so advanced yet so barbaric," says the aliens.
"We're fulla paradoxes an complexities," says me. "Behold as we give life to this inanimate slinky!"
"And take it away again before it can fully traverse the stairs!" says Giblets.
"There is so much we could learn from you," says the aliens. "Allow us to meet the rest of your people."
"I dunno if you're ready to meet us," says me.
"We are far too advanced for your comprehension," says Giblets. "Our mysteries and enigmas would explode your tiny minds!"
"Perhaps some day in the future, when our own culture has sufficiently advanced to understand yours," says the aliens.
"It's a difficult journey to cosmic enlightenment an stuff," says me. "Just keep on chuggin there."
"Farewell mortal beings!" says Giblets. "Keep watching the skies!"
We leave em at the house with the others an take off in the ship on our never-endin mission a cosmic awareness.

As of 2017, about 40 million Americans live with some form of disability, according to the U.S. Census Bureau . Ranging from physical immobility to blindness to hearing loss to cognitive impairment to extreme emotional challenges, disabilities can prove difficult to navigate when you’re on the job hunt.
If you need a new position and fear that your disability will hinder you, it’s important to know your rights and to know which careers will suit you best. To help with the latter decision, we’ve listed 21 promising jobs that can absolutely be filled by folks with a variety of disabilities.
Of course, the term “disability” covers an extremely broad spectrum of conditions, symptoms, and requirements. No one job will suit all “disabled” individuals, but certain careers involve skills that may be particularly prevalent among those with specific conditions.
For instance, folks with vision impairments often have above-average auditory capabilities, so careers involving a keen sense of sound (like audio engineering) can be an excellent fit. On a similar note, people with hearing difficulties can frequently work in loud environments while maintaining focus, which can make them ideal hires for careers in construction and mechanical engineering.
Individuals with certain cognitive disabilities who benefit from structure and routine can thrive in manufacturing roles that require methodical repetition, while people with mobility issues can find enormous success in desk-based jobs like accounting, administration, and legal assisting.
When beginning your job hunt as a person with a disability, it’s crucial to understand your rights and to focus your search in the correct direction for your skill sets.
The Americans With Disabilities Act prohibits prospective employers from discriminating against candidates with disabilities recognized and protected by this law. Essentially, any disabled applicant must be offered the same consideration as other applicants (meaning that your skills and experience will be evaluated and used as determining factors, with no decisions made on the basis of your disability). If you learn- and can prove- that an employer is unfairly blocking your candidacy because of your disability, you’re within your rights to take legal action against them.
If you find yourself stuck during your job search, there are resources specifically designed to help individuals with disabilities seek and apply for work. The U.S. Department of Labor sponsors numerous agencies and initiatives focused on this goal. Also, career search engines like abilityJobs seek to pair applicants with disabilities with well-suited careers, making them a great place to start your search.
Also, during the interview process, remember that you’re under no obligation to disclose your disability to your interviewer. Obviously, certain disabilities are more visible than others, but if yours isn’t outwardly identifiable, you don’t need to bring it up prior to an offer unless you require an accommodation covered by the ADA that would have to be implemented before your start date. If you do choose to disclose or discuss your visible disability with a prospective employer, having a strong sense of your necessary accommodations in advance makes a strong entry point for that conversation and allows you to bring the matter up on your own terms and from a proactive standpoint.
When setting your job search parameters, consider these 21 careers with solid histories of success in hiring and retaining talented individuals with a variety of disabilities:
Candidates with disabilities who excel at math and technology can make excellent livings as computer systems analysts. This field largely centers around desk-based computer programming, making it a strong fit for those with mobility issues. According to US News and World Report, computer systems analysts can expect to make a median salary of $87,220.
Another great fit for the mathematically-inclined, accounting offers competitive pay for work that can certainly be performed by educated and qualified individuals with physical or mental disabilities. CareerCast reports that financial institutions count among the nation’s top employers of disabled people, and the median salary for accountants currently stands at $63,175.
While entrepreneurship comes with its own significant challenges (like a need for investors and a responsibility to employees), folks with disabilities who crave flexible hours and a workspace designed to meet their needs may discover that owning their own businesses is the best way to find career fulfillment. Average salaries for entrepreneurs vary wildly, but Sokanu estimates a median annual income of $57,360.
Many emotional disabilities and even certain physical and mental disabilities can benefit from exposure to animals. If this sounds familiar to you or one of your loved ones, a career as a veterinary assistant could be a good career option. Veterinary assistants, who typically take charge of caring for animals staying at vet hospitals and clinics, require a high school diploma and, in some cases, an Approved Veterinary Assistant certification from the National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America. The median salary for vet techs is $26,140.
In the field of pharmaceutical sales, hiring managers and recruiters like to bring employees aboard who can speak to the effectiveness of their products from a first-hand perspective. If you have a disability that requires the use of medication or equipment and you’re pleased with your experiences, a career as a sales representative for the pharmaceutical company behind that item could be a lucrative move for you. Pharma sales reps can expect to earn a mean salary of $133,563, including both base salary and commissions.
For many offices, the human resources department ensures that all employees are given fair and equal treatment and that hiring managers are well aware of the rights afforded to their staffers with disabilities. Job seekers with disabilities of their own may be able to make a meaningful difference by pursuing careers in HR. In the U.S., HR managers earn average annual salaries of $106,847.
As with HR management, careers in vocational counseling can reap particularly powerful results when the individuals in those roles have a first-hand connection to the communities they serve. Vocational counselors help adults with disabilities or life-related challenges seek out their own professions and connect them with on-site job coaches when necessary, and a vocational counselor who’s experienced that same pursuit on a personal level is a prized asset in the field. Vocational counselors typically make between $57,615 and $75,723 per year.
People without the ability to hear often have heightened experiences with their other senses, including the ability to see and visualize on an advanced level. If that applies to you, a career as a graphic designer could be an appealing avenue to make use of your talents. Graphic designers make an average base pay of $52,589 per year, according to Glassdoor research.
Because deaf employees don’t require the same auditory protection required of those with full hearing ability, they can fit well into roles that involve regular exposure to loud noises, like working as a machinist. These skilled craftspeople use large (and often noisy) mechanical equipment to cut parts out of aluminum, steel, and silicon to use for building other machines. Machinists earn an average of $42,547 a year, according to salary.com.
Just as hearing loss can result in heightened vision, so too can vision loss cause enhanced hearing. Therefore, blind applicants for audio engineering roles may be in an advantageous position. Audio engineers make mean salaries of $56,283, according to Sokanu.
Actuaries, who use their mathematical and statistical acumen to help businesses reduce risk, typically work from a desk, and their daily responsibilities require constant active thought. For people with mobility disabilities and a bachelor’s degree in math or science, this career keeps their heads busy with significant mental stimulation. Actuaries earn an average salary of $68,563 annually, according to salary.com.
Like vocational counselors and HR managers, management consultants with disabilities provide valuable insight into a crucial segment of employee populations, making them hugely valuable to companies seeking to improve growth trajectories and job satisfaction for workers of all ability levels. Annually, management consultants earn an average of $85,213, according to PayScale.
For another position that values personal connections with the client’s challenges, consider becoming a classroom paraprofessional. These educators specialize in helping children with disabilities adapt to life in a classroom, usually combining regular class time with one-on-one tutelage. Classroom paraprofessionals make $12.19 per hour on average, according to PayScale.
For many people with disabilities, jobs that allow them to work from home provide the highest level of comfort and accessibility. As more and more companies grow and expand, remote work increases in popularity, and one key remote field involves call center representation. Call reps can typically set their own hours, offering a helpful level of flexibility. Companies with call centers pay their representatives different amounts depending on the size and financing of the organization, but the current average salary is $32,214, according to Glassdoor.
Another career that typically enables working from home, writing on a freelance basis can be a great fit for creative people with disabilities, particularly if their disabilities are physical rather than mental or emotional. Freelance writers earn an average hourly sum of $23.99, according to PayScale.
Medical transcription, a field based on typing written versions of voice memos created by doctors and other health professionals, is rapidly evolving into a stay-at-home profession, and its reliability and appeal to individuals with disabilities who prefer the comforts of their own homes and to those with cognitive disabilities who value consistency. Medical transcriptionists make an average of $15.39 per hour, according to PayScale.
Legal assistants and paralegals- individuals qualified for legal work who serve alongside attorneys but who aren’t fully licensed as lawyers- are strong career choices for people with mobility-based disabilities, as courthouses typically have accommodations for visitors in wheelchairs. For that reason (among many others), the legal field as a whole is worth consideration. The current average salary for a paralegal is $46,678 annually, according to PayScale.
Tech enthusiasts who have disabilities but also possess keen coding skills can make good money as software developers. The job’s comparative lack of necessary physical exertion make it manageable for employees with limited mobility, and those with cognitive disabilities that allow for strong fact retention and attention to detail can also readily partake. Software developers earn an average salary of $69,687, according to PayScale.
Certain mental disabilities involve a level of comfort with routine and repetition, a quality that can result in a mutually beneficial career fit as a manufacturing associate. These individuals build products on an assembly line, and the familiarity of the task allows them to hone their skills over time. Manufacturing associates make an average hourly rate of $12.76, according to PayScale.
Whether a counter position at a local store or a cashier or stocking role at a major retailer like Whole Foods, shop associate jobs offer consistency, social engagement, and regular pay to all employees, including those with disabilities. Larger companies like Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s also provide competitive health and time-off benefits as part of their compensation packages. Shop associate pay varies depending on the retailer, but the current national average is $10 per hour, according to PayScale.
Government entities, whether on the local, state, or federal level, have a responsibility not only to adhere to the standards set down by the ADA, but also to actively diversify their workforces. Therefore, qualified applicants with disabilities are encouraged to apply for roles within government buildings. The pay for these jobs is highly dependent on the particular role, but administrative assistants on the federal government level earn an average base salary of $56,000, according to PayScale.

AML (Anti-Money Laundering) and KYC (Know Your Customer) checks are two critical components of a compliance program in the financial services industry. They are designed to prevent financial institutions from being used to facilitate money laundering, terrorism financing, and other illegal activities, and to ensure that financial institutions have accurate and complete information about their customers.
AML checks are aimed at identifying and preventing money laundering activities by analyzing transactions, customer behavior, and other relevant data to identify and report any suspicious activities to the appropriate authorities. This involves implementing procedures and controls to monitor transactions, detect and report suspicious activities, and maintain records of all transactions and reports.
KYC checks, on the other hand, are focused on ensuring that financial institutions have accurate and complete information about their customers, including their identity, source of funds, and intended use of the funds. This information is used to determine the customer’s risk profile and to implement appropriate due diligence and monitoring procedures to mitigate the risk of fraud, money laundering, and other illegal activities.
The scope of AML and KYC checks can vary depending on the nature of the financial institution and the type of customer. For example, high-risk customers, such as those from countries designated as non-cooperative by the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering, may require more extensive due diligence and monitoring.
In conclusion, AML and KYC checks are essential components of a compliance program in the financial services industry. They are designed to prevent financial institutions from being used for illegal activities and to ensure that they have accurate and complete information about their customers. Financial institutions should regularly review and update their AML and KYC procedures to ensure that they remain effective and relevant, and that they comply with applicable laws and regulations.

THE PARLIAMENTARY Standing Committee on Finance (SCoF) on Wednesday heard how Independent Media was faced with a hostile media environment shortly after being acquired by Sekunjalo Independent Media Consortium (SIM).
This was during a presentation by Independent Media’s executives led by the chief investment officer, Takudzwa Hove, after a submission by Finance Minister Tito Mboweni to the committee. A submission that has been described by nay-sayers as an “off-the-cuff suggestion”, leaving one wondering if the minister was in the business of making “off-the-cuff suggestions” to the august house.
EFF MP Floyd Shivambu clarified that the SCoF, as part of processing the Mpati Commission report, decided to listen to the affected companies as well as those that had written to the committee to seek an audience in terms of the issues that concerned them. The audience granted to Independent Media was based on this decision.
Sekunjalo executive chairperson Dr Iqbal Survé wrote to SCoF chairperson Joe Maswanganyi after the minister’s submission to make presentations to the SCoF. While making its presentation, Independent Media faced some hostility from DA MP Geordin Hill-Lewis who interrupted Hove and took some pot shots at the companies’ executives in an attempt to undermine what was being presented.
After all presentations, including input from the Public Investment Corporation (PIC), the SCoF chairperson asked the National Treasury to make some input and deputy director-general Ismail Momoniat took the floor after two other representatives were slow to respond, which took several observers by surprise.
Independent Media has previously written about the role that Momoniat is seen to play in “running” Treasury. This issue was also previously raised by the EFF in Parliament, when Momoniat made a presentation on behalf of the Treasury in place of the director-general. Treasury responded by saying that Momoniat was the right person to represent Treasury on tax and financial sector policy related matters.
It has been reported that Momoniat, who was largely known to be Minister Pravin Gordhan’s right-hand man in Treasury, had been instrumental in co-ordinating an onslaught against Independent Media and Sekunjalo through officials in Treasury, the Financial Services Conduct Authority (FSCA), and the Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC).
Of note is that former DA MP Brandon Topham took up the position of director of investigations at the FSCA. An appointment that raised eyebrows as to how a former MP, with a known allegiance to a political formation, could be appointed to a politically sensitive position within the FSCA. Independent Media previously reported that Topham was deployed to the FSCA to deal with black business, citing sources within the FSCA and was close to Momoniat.
The appointment gave rise to speculation that Topham was tasked by certain members of the DA to deal with some prominent members of the ANC, its allies or EFF-aligned politicians, as well as certain businesspeople. The FSCA denied the existence of such an agenda.
The SCoF meeting showed a tinge of desperation from the DA machinery and the interconnectedness of Momoniat and the DA machinery to undermine Independent Media.
Independent Media in its presentation asserted that the media house was previously a mouthpiece for the DA, before being taken over by SIM. There was also an attempt to stop the sale to SIM with a last-ditch effort from a funder of the DA to offer R500 million to Sekunjalo to walk away from Independent Media.
It is clear from Hill-Lewis’s reaction that the DA may have not given up hope of taking control of Independent Media. The outburst by Hill-Lewis was not spontaneous but an effort by the DA along with Momoniat to undermine SIM. If one goes by the utterances by Hill-Lewis – for which he was castigated by the SCoF chairperson – it is clear this was designed to divert attention from the presentations whose facts had not been disputed.
It is a known fact that Gordhan is part of the President Cyril Ramaphosa faction in the ANC and that Momoniat was said to serve as his proxy in the Treasury, which makes the existence of an alliance more plausible by the day.
Recently the leader of the DA, John Steenhuisen, said the DA would be prepared to work and govern with the ANC under Ramaphosa but not an ANC under David Mabuza or Ace Magashule. This suggests that there exists a close proximity between the ANC president and the DA.
SCoF also heard how at the beginning of 2013 SIM was announced as the preferred bidder and immediately after that vigorous attempts were made by the then chairperson of the SA National Editors Forum (Sanef), Nic Dawes, to stop the transaction.
SIM refused to be threatened and in the end Dawes had to apologise. Sanef continues to play a partisan role against Independent Media, as seen by its most recent conduct. | <urn:uuid:f8397d9b-b6d2-46ed-91ce-13ce6673706f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://falcons.org.za/uncategorized/does-the-da-hope-to-control-independent-media/ | 2023-09-28T18:40:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.982315 | 1,062 |
School and work and band has had me sooooo busy that I haven't been able to make music!
Even though I now own FL Studio 10 (Before I was writing all my songs in a single session, because you can't save projects on the demo FL Studio), I own a 88-es M-Audio Midi Controller, a USB Digitech RP500 pedal, a USB Condensor mic, etc... I haven't had time to use any of them!
I hope to post some new stuff soon! None of my current 86 songs reflect my true potential. I'm excited to see what Ill make! I'll make some metal/rock and I'l make some electronic, and maybe some chill acoustic/piano stuff!

A constant theme of The Iona Institute, indeed one of the chief reasons it was founded, is to point out that family structure matters, and specifically that when mothers and fathers raise their children together, the children are likely to do better in life.
A major new report has just been published in the UK which confirms this. Its subject matter is how well various ethnic minorities are doing compared with their white counterparts. It finds that children from those minorities are now frequently outperforming their white peers educationally.
The report is from the Commission on Race and Ethnic Minorities which was formed last summer in the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests. One of the sections in the report is headed ‘Cultural Traditions, Family and Integration’.
It surveys the changes in family structure that have taken place over the past half century, and mostly welcomes them, including a more ready acceptance of divorce and single-parent families.
It approaches the topic almost apologetically, saying, “The Commission is not passing judgement about how people live their lives, nor is it saying ‘two parents are always better than one’. Lone parent families may face greater strain but, if they have the right resources and support available, they can provide just as good a start in life.”
Nonetheless, having reviewed the evidence, the report concludes that while it is emphatically not allocating blame, it must point out that that children “require both time and resources, and that is more likely to be available when both parents play active roles in their upbringing.”
Crucially, it adds: “Governments cannot remain neutral here. We would urge the government to investigate this issue further and look at initiatives that prevent family breakdown”.
Here in Ireland, it is very hard to think of the last time we heard a Government Minister saying we must do more to prevent family breakdown, or to encourage more fathers to get involved in the rearing of their children.
Family breakdown in Ireland has increased by far more than most people seem to know or acknowledge. Divorce remains far lower than in Britain. Nevertheless, according to Census figures, the number of people who have undergone a broken marriage here has increased from around 40,000 in 1986, to about 300,000 today. That figure does not include the children.
The new UK report says there is “a wealth of evidence from the academic literature pointing to a greater likelihood of negative outcomes tied to family breakdown”.
There is little Irish research on the same topic. Researchers seem terrified to go anywhere near the topic, which is probably why most of the evidence to date comes from the US, which is obviously a vast country.
One of the few pieces of Irish research which covers the area, called ‘Cherishing All the Children Equally’, found “that family structure does indeed represent a source of inequality in children’s lives, and places children in single parent households at risk of poorer developmental outcomes” compared with children raised in two parent households.
This is a debate which needs to open up much more in Ireland, but we are probably still years away from having it such is the continued reluctance to go anywhere near the topic.

The release is nearly upon us and so are more clickers. At PlayStation’s State Of Play The Last Of Us Part II received a release date of February 21st, 2020. Sony usually does not talk about anything until it’s ready, and this follows suit. Death Stranding was shown and a street date set five months ahead of its release. Here’s the new trailer!
Possible spoilers ahead if you don’t want to watch the trailer!
There is so much to take from this trailer and so many questions I have. Does Ellie’s companion die? Is that what drives the “hate” Neil Druckmann has been describing? Where has Joel been this whole time? Has Ellie found out about his “secret” from the ending of The Last Of Us? There are many more questions we can ask but the trailer is just an incredible showcase of what is in store.
Several special editions were announced after the presentation. We have the Special Edition priced at $79.99. This one includes the game (which is interestingly two discs), a steelbook case, an artbook, and digital avatar set with dynamic theme. The Collector’s Edition includes the game with steelbook case, a 12-inch Ellie statue, an artbook, Ellie’s bracelet, six pins, and four stickers. There’s also a digital offering with it off an avatar set, soundtrack, artbook, and a making of documentary.
Crazy enough that’s not it. There is also the Ellie Edition. Much of the Collector’s is in it, but there’s also the addition of a backpack designed to look like Ellie’s and a 7 inch vinyl soundtrack, a lithograph art print, and a logo patch. The same digital offerings look to still apply.
Are you excited for The Last Of Us Part II? If you have never played the series, The Last Of Us will be available on PlayStation Plus as one of next months free games! Go give it a try! When you do, tune into Fan Fest News to find out more as we follow The Last Of Us Part II up to its release!

Meet Your Humanities Faculty: Wenjin Liu
Can you tell me about your research interests and how they developed for you?
I work primarily on ancient Greek and Roman philosophy and have a strong interest in classical Chinese philosophy and comparative philosophy, especially the comparison between classical Greek, Roman and classical Chinese. Regarding ancient Greek and Roman philosophy, I work on substantive forms of human imperfection–such as ignorance and vice–at both individual and collective levels, and mental illnesses. I'm interested in understanding Plato's discussion of their nature, causes and the connection between those forms of imperfection and how he came to see those forms of imperfection play in the period that he was situated in, which was a time of all sorts of social and political instability, war, decline and reconstruction. I'm also interested in understanding Plato’s proposed remedies and measures for preventing those forms of imperfection, because the goal of his philosophy was to propose a model for people to live a happy life both individually and collectively.
Another part of my research is that I'm interested in understanding the continuity and differences between Western and Eastern intellectual traditions at the very beginning of their written records. On the Western side I’m looking at Plato and Aristotle, and on the Eastern side I look at Confucius and Mozi. These philosophers were contemporaries living during the fifth century BCE, but they developed different schools of thinking in response to all sorts of social-political problems of their time and solutions to those problems. I'm interested in understanding how those thinkers independently came up with answers to those problems and what they identify as the problem of their time. I ask, are there some common problems between the West and East? If so, what are their solutions? If there are some common take aways from those solutions, where does their intuition differ? In the long run, I'm interested in exploring how those ideas can shape our current cultures and values of the East and West, and what lessons we can learn from those ideas in our multicultural and cross-cultural communication and cooperation.
I was born and raised in China. I went to a local high school where I studied classical Chinese literature, which was part of the college entrance exam. There, we read parts of Confucius and Mozi, but we didn't read it in an analytic philosophical way–we read it mostly in historical and literary ways. I was taught to understand those ideas in the development of Chinese intellectual history, and how that writing influenced Chinese literary forms.
I've always been mostly interested in big fundamental questions. Like, what are those people trying to get at? And how those ideas, those questions and their answers can inform us when we think about our life, and how we how we develop from there.
In college, I discovered Greek and Roman philosophy. There wasn't Chinese philosophy offered at the college I went to, but we did have a course on the philosophy of East and West. There was a focused course on ancient Greek and Roman philosophy. In that class, the texts I was reading asked similar questions as Chinese texts I was interested in despite the geographical and political differences of those parts of the world. Having been written around the same time, I thought they must have come up with those questions and answered them independently, because there wasn't any concrete evidence about extensive communication between Greece and China at that time.
In graduate school, I did my dissertation on Plato. After I finished my preliminary exam, I had more time to think about connecting my different interests in philosophy. That's when I started thinking more seriously about using analytic and linguistic tools I gained from my training in Greek and Roman philosophy to understand classical Chinese philosophy, and the connection between those two.
Can you tell us about the role of interdisciplinarity in your work?
My current research is rooted primarily in contemporary analytic philosophy. I do close readings of the text and logical analysis of the ideas behind the text. I also draw ideas from classics, history, and political theory, both historical and contemporary. To show the contrast and continuity between the East and West, I also read Chinese philosophy and literature.
Recently, I got interested in empirical work in psychology, because I find psychologists always ask brilliant questions. I browse empirical work in psychology just to get inspiration for when I study my primary texts. I also look more broadly at publications like The New Yorker or The New York Times where there is more public discussion–doing so helps me get a sense of what people are interested in and the kinds of problems we are trying to solve.
Can you talk about your research methods? Describe what your day-to-day research practice looks like.
My day-to-day research routine depends on whether I choose to write for a particular amount of time–days, weeks, months–or if I choose to do more broad research.
When I’m writing, I start my day jotting down my ideas, which can take several hours. After I get tired of that, I look at relevant second literature or at the primary text to corroborate my interpretation. And if I can, I end my writing days by reading broadly. I must admit, though, that my writing days don't always go this way. Sometimes my day just ends with writing, or sometimes I even struggle to write.
When I choose to do broad research, I spend a lot of time reading. For example, this month I’m mostly doing research and reading. I start the day meditating on the big idea of the paper. I also think about what questions need to be answered today and for the month of research. From there, I look at primary and secondary literature depending on the questions I need to answer. For example, today I studied keywords in a primary text by Plato. This was because I had more philological work to do. This included checking every word that occurs in the particular text by Plato I’m working on and asking, “what's the idea?” and how that features in his corpus.
Tell us about your talk. What do you want people to take away from your presentation?
My talk is titled “Political Vice in Plato.” Plato, born not long after the beginning of the Peloponnesian War, witnesses the decline of Athens from a hegemonic power in the Greek world to a city state that struggles to recover its glory in the midst of constant internal quarrels and external threats. His contemporaries often assume that salvaging Athens from its decline crucially involves attending to particular, salient episodes of the decline, for which politicians who are directly involved should be blamed. In this talk, I argue in the Gorgias and the Republic, Plato provides a different perspective to understand not only the decline of Athens but also political problems elsewhere. In his view, a better understanding and treatment of those problems requires us to go beyond particular episodes and agents, which, albeit palpable, are symptoms or products of an underlying structural flaw, namely, political vice. Political vice is a substantive deviation from a city’s normative order. Because of that deviation, a city performs its function—collective human living—poorly. A corrupt culture is the root of political vice. Sustainable political changes should accordingly be mediated via gradual shifts in cultures.
A takeaway I hope people leave with is that when theorizing about our current political problems Plato’s answer is that we not immediately blame current politicians, and that we think more broadly about the origin of our current political institution and the overall culture which shapes generations of politicians and people. I hope this talk will resonate with people, especially considering current political debates.
Can you tell us about classes you're teaching?
In the next semester, I'm going to teach two undergraduate courses. One is on ancient Greek and Roman philosophy. This course will be a survey of a major thinkers in the ancient Greek and Roman philosophical tradition, like Plato, Aristotle, the Stoics, and the Epicureans. I conceive of this course as giving students a broad introduction to the big ideas and methodology of doing history of philosophy. I'm also open to student suggestions about where they find continuity and contrasts between those ancient texts and contemporary discussions. And I’m happy to explore those ideas with students.
The second course is on comparative philosophy of ethics and politics, between the classical Chinese and ancient Greek and Roman philosophy. I imagine this course to be more of a research seminar where I can guide students to do independent research on specific topics. One example could be the structure of humanity or the structure of the human soul and the contrast between Mozi and Plato. Students can also propose ideas for what they want to write their research papers on. | <urn:uuid:4f527ebb-f879-4de5-9c34-e0683f100c8e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://fhi.duke.edu/highlights/meet-your-humanities-faculty-wenjin-liu | 2023-09-28T17:34:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.968217 | 1,768 |

Kenneth Branagh is going to Venice. He is brushing his mustache and packing his mustache guards. The Oscar-nominated director will go back to the Christie universe with A Haunting in Venice, which is another Poirot mystery with a focus on mustaches. It comes after Death on the Nile.
A Haunting in Venice doesn’t do anything new or different. Branagh is putting together a group of actors from all over the world to act against his silly mouth bristles. Christie’s “Halloween Party” was the inspiration for Branagh’s new movie, which will reunite Jamie Dornan, Jude Hill, Tina Fey, Michelle Yeoh, Kyle Allen, Camille Cottin, Ali Khan, Emma Laird, Kelly Reilly, and Riccardo Scamarico with whom they worked in “Belfast.”
“This is a great step forward for Hercule Poirot and the Agatha Christie franchise as a whole,” Branagh said. “It is based on a complicated, little-known mystery story that takes place on Halloween in a beautiful city. It is a great chance for us as filmmakers, and we can’t wait to give our loyal moviegoers something truly scary.”
In The Halloween Party, a retired Poirot goes to a Halloween seance at a haunted palazzo against his will. Now things start to get strange. Poirot is brought out of retirement when one of the party guests is killed. At a party where Hercule Poirot is there, no one is safe.
Death on the Nile has been out long enough for it to be the go-to movie for anyone who wants to fall asleep on a cross-country flight. This means that it can be considered a movie that has come out. For a long time, it seemed like we’d never find out what happened after Murder on the Orient Express, but Branagh came back with the story of how he got that big mustache.
Everyone agrees that putting out Death on the Nile was a disaster. The pandemic pushed back the release of the movie, and then there were a lot of PR nightmares, like the Armie Hammer scandal, which happened right in the middle of the movie’s release. That was a good enough excuse for co-stars Letitia White and Russell Brand to talk about their doubts about vaccines.
The movie didn’t do very well when it came out. The reviews were mostly negative, and the movie made $130 million at the box office around the world. With a reported $90 million budget, that’s not a very good return. But its low box office could have been caused by a number of things, like the pandemic or the abuse claims against Armie Hammer, so 20th Century Studios may have decided to try again. Still, Branagh said he wanted to make a Christie Cinematic Universe, so there will be movies in that universe.

Moisturization: Key Ingredient in Sowan Esthetic Association’s Skin Care Routines
The importance of proper moisturization in skincare routines cannot be overstated. Moisturization plays a crucial role in maintaining the health and vitality of the skin, preventing dryness, flakiness, and premature aging. The Sowan Esthetic Association recognizes this significance and has incorporated moisturization as a key ingredient in their skincare routines.
For instance, consider the case of Sarah, a 35-year-old woman who had been struggling with persistent dryness on her face. Despite trying various skincare products, she found no relief until she began following the moisturization techniques recommended by the Sowan Esthetic Association. Within weeks, she noticed a significant improvement in her skin’s texture and hydration levels. This example highlights the effectiveness of incorporating moisturization into daily skincare regimens.
In this article, we will delve deeper into the importance of moisturization in skincare routines advocated by the Sowan Esthetic Association. By understanding the science behind effective moisturization and exploring the association’s recommended strategies, readers will gain valuable insights that can help them achieve healthier, more radiant skin.
Understanding the Importance of Moisturization
Moisturization is a crucial aspect of any skincare routine, playing an essential role in maintaining healthy and radiant skin. By replenishing the skin’s moisture barrier, moisturizers help to lock in hydration and protect against external factors that can lead to dryness, irritation, and premature aging. To illustrate this point, let us consider the case of Sarah, a woman with sensitive skin prone to dryness. Despite diligently cleansing her face twice daily, she often experienced tightness and discomfort due to lack of moisture. After incorporating a hydrating moisturizer into her routine, Sarah noticed a significant improvement in her skin’s overall texture and appearance.
One primary reason why moisturization is vital lies in its ability to prevent transepidermal water loss (TEWL). TEWL occurs when water evaporates from the surface of the skin, leading to dehydration and compromised barrier function. A well-hydrated epidermis acts as a protective shield against environmental stressors such as pollution or extreme temperatures. Moreover, adequate moisture levels contribute to improved elasticity, reducing fine lines and wrinkles for a more youthful complexion.
To emphasize the significance of moisturization further, here are some key points:
- Properly hydrated skin feels smoother and softer.
- Well-moisturized skin appears plumper and more supple.
- Moisturization helps balance oil production, preventing both excessive dryness and oiliness.
- Regular use of moisturizers can enhance the effectiveness of other skincare products by ensuring better absorption.
Markdown bullet list:
- Hydrated skin boosts confidence
- Skin lacking moisture feels uncomfortable
- Dryness can exacerbate existing skin conditions like eczema
- Adequate hydration promotes overall health and well-being
In addition to these benefits, different types of moisturizers cater specifically to various skin types—normal, oily, combination, or dry—and their specific needs. The subsequent section will delve into the diverse range of moisturizers available, making it easier for you to choose the most suitable option for your skin type. Understanding these distinctions will allow us to maximize the benefits of moisturization and establish a skincare routine tailored specifically to our individual needs.
Different Types of Moisturizers for Every Skin Type
Moisturization is a crucial step in any skincare routine, as it helps to nourish and hydrate the skin, promoting its overall health and appearance. Without proper moisturization, the skin can become dry, dull, and prone to various concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, and irritation. To illustrate this point further, let’s consider a hypothetical case study: Sarah, a 35-year-old woman with combination skin type, was experiencing persistent dryness and flakiness on her cheeks. She decided to incorporate a moisturizer into her daily regimen.
To highlight the significance of moisturization for maintaining healthy skin, here are some key benefits:
- Hydration: Moisturizers provide essential hydration to replenish moisture levels in the skin, preventing dehydration and leaving it soft and supple.
- Barrier Function: A well-moisturized skin has an intact barrier function that protects against environmental stressors like pollution and UV rays.
- Anti-Aging Effects: Regular use of moisturizers can minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by improving collagen synthesis and elasticity.
- Soothing Properties: Certain moisturizers contain soothing ingredients that calm redness or inflammation caused by conditions like eczema or rosacea.
|Hydration||Replenishes moisture levels in the skin|
|Barrier Function||Protects against environmental stressors|
|Anti-Aging Effects||Minimizes fine lines and wrinkles|
|Soothing Properties||Calms redness or inflammation|
Incorporating these benefits into one’s skincare routine can have significant positive effects on overall skin health. By understanding the importance of moisturization, individuals can make informed choices when selecting products tailored to their specific needs.
Transitioning seamlessly into our next section about “Choosing the Right Moisturizer for Your Skin,” it is vital to recognize that not all moisturizers are created equal. Different skin types require different formulations and textures for optimal results. Let’s explore how you can find the perfect moisturizer tailored to your unique skincare needs without compromising on quality or effectiveness.
Choosing the Right Moisturizer for Your Skin
Understanding the different types of moisturizers is crucial when it comes to selecting the right one for your skin. Now, let us delve into the factors that should be considered while choosing a moisturizer.
To illustrate the importance of selecting an appropriate moisturizer, consider this hypothetical scenario: Sarah has dry and sensitive skin. She often experiences redness and irritation due to environmental factors such as cold weather or sun exposure. In her search for a suitable moisturizer, she considers various options based on her specific needs.
When choosing a moisturizer, keep in mind these key points:
- Ingredients: Look for ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and glycerin which help retain moisture in the skin. Avoid products containing alcohol or fragrance, as they can further dehydrate or irritate sensitive skin.
- Texture: Consider your skin type when deciding between creams, lotions, gels, or oils. Thicker textures are generally more hydrating and beneficial for individuals with dry skin, while lighter formulas may work well for those with oily or combination skin.
- SPF Protection: Incorporating sunscreen into your daily skincare routine is essential to protect against harmful UV rays. Opting for a moisturizer with built-in SPF not only provides hydration but also shields your skin from potential damage caused by sun exposure.
- Dermatologist Recommendations: If you’re uncertain about what type of moisturizer would suit your particular needs best, consult a dermatologist who can provide personalized advice based on their expertise and knowledge.
Consider table below highlighting some common characteristics associated with different types of moisturizers:
|Texture||Thick and rich||Thin and lightweight||Gel-like consistency|
|Suitable for||Dry or sensitive skin||Normal or combination skin||Oily or acne-prone skin|
|Hydration Level Provided||High||Medium||Light|
By considering these factors, you can select a moisturizer that meets your specific needs. Remember, the right moisturizer has the potential to enhance your overall skincare routine by providing optimal hydration and protection.
Understanding how to choose the right moisturizer is essential, but equally important is knowing how to apply it effectively. In the following section, we will explore proper application techniques for maximum moisturization without any wastage of product.
Proper Application Techniques for Maximum Moisturization
Transitioning from the previous section on choosing the right moisturizer, let’s now delve into the proper application techniques for maximum moisturization. To illustrate this, let’s consider the case of Sarah, a 35-year-old woman with dry skin who has recently incorporated a new moisturizing routine into her skincare regimen.
Sarah diligently follows these steps to ensure optimal moisturization:
Cleansing: Before applying any moisturizer, it is essential to cleanse your face thoroughly using a gentle cleanser suited for your skin type. This step removes dirt, oil, and impurities that can hinder moisture absorption.
Toning: After cleansing, Sarah applies a hydrating toner onto her skin. Toners help balance the pH levels and prepare the skin for better product absorption by tightening pores and minimizing their appearance.
Moisturizer Application Techniques: Sarah uses precise techniques when applying her chosen moisturizer to maximize its effectiveness:
- Patting or dabbing motions: Instead of rubbing the moisturizer vigorously onto her face, she gently pats or dabs it in small amounts using her fingertips.
- Upward strokes: She applies the moisturizer in upward motions to promote circulation while ensuring even coverage.
- Extra attention to problem areas: Sarah pays extra attention to drier areas such as cheeks and forehead, where more hydration may be needed.
Sun Protection: Lastly, Sarah finishes off her routine by applying sunscreen with at least SPF 30 before stepping out into sunlight. Sunscreen not only protects against harmful UV rays but also helps lock in moisture throughout the day.
- Experience long-lasting hydration
- Achieve smoother and softer skin texture
- Enhance natural radiance and glow
- Prevent premature signs of aging
In addition to understanding these application techniques, considering different types of products available can also aid in achieving desired results. Let’s take a look at the table below, which highlights various moisturizer formulations and their key benefits:
|Moisturizer Type||Key Benefits|
|Lotion||Lightweight and fast-absorbing|
|Gel||Cooling and refreshing|
|Serum||Targeted treatment for specific skin concerns|
By incorporating these techniques into her skincare routine, Sarah has noticed significant improvements in her skin’s texture, appearance, and overall health.
Transitioning to the next section on “The Role of Moisturization in Maintaining Skin Health,” it is crucial to understand how proper application techniques contribute to achieving healthy skin.
The Role of Moisturization in Maintaining Skin Health
Building upon the proper application techniques discussed earlier, it is crucial to understand the role of moisturization in maintaining skin health. By incorporating effective moisturization into their daily skincare routines, individuals can achieve a hydrated and youthful complexion. Let us explore further why moisturization is essential for optimal skin health.
Moisturization acts as a protective barrier against external aggressors such as pollution, harsh weather conditions, and UV radiation. For instance, consider an individual living in a heavily polluted urban area. Without proper hydration, their skin may become more susceptible to environmental damage due to increased dryness and compromised natural defenses. However, by consistently applying moisturizers with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid or ceramides, the skin’s moisture levels are replenished, reinforcing its ability to combat these harmful factors.
To highlight the importance of moisturization in achieving healthy skin, here are four key benefits:
- Hydration Enhancement: Moisturizers penetrate deep into the epidermis, boosting hydration levels and preventing water loss from the skin surface.
- Anti-Aging Effects: Regularly moisturizing helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by promoting elasticity and firmness.
- Skin Barrier Protection: Adequate moisture strengthens the skin barrier function, shielding it from irritants while keeping beneficial substances within.
- Radiant Complexion: Well-moisturized skin appears plump and glowing due to improved blood circulation and enhanced cell turnover rates.
Let us now take a closer look at how various types of moisturizers cater to different skincare needs through this three-column table:
|Type||Key Ingredient||Targeted Benefits|
|Lotions||Lightweight oils||Quick absorption|
|Serums||Active compounds||Specific concerns|
By understanding your unique skincare requirements and selecting the appropriate moisturizer type, you can tailor your routine to address specific concerns effectively.
Incorporating proper moisturization techniques into daily skincare regimens is essential for maintaining a radiant complexion. By prioritizing hydration and incorporating suitable products, individuals can enjoy improved skin health and appearance. In the subsequent section on “Moisturization Tips and Tricks for a Radiant Complexion,” we will delve deeper into practical strategies that enhance the effectiveness of moisturizers in achieving optimal results.
Moisturization Tips and Tricks for a Radiant Complexion
Having discussed the role of moisturization in maintaining skin health, it is crucial to delve deeper into effective techniques for achieving optimal results. By adopting proper moisturization practices, individuals can enhance their complexion’s radiance and overall appearance.
One example that highlights the significance of adequate moisturization involves a middle-aged woman named Sarah. Throughout her life, Sarah struggled with dry and dull skin, often experiencing discomfort and irritation. After consulting with skincare experts at the Sowan Esthetic Association, she learned about the importance of incorporating appropriate moisturization techniques into her daily routine. Through consistent application of hydrating products tailored to her specific needs, Sarah witnessed a remarkable transformation in her skin’s texture and luminosity.
To achieve similar outcomes, there are several key strategies individuals should consider when it comes to moisturizing their skin effectively:
- Selecting suitable products: It is essential to choose moisturizers that align with one’s skin type and concerns. Whether addressing dryness, oiliness, or aging signs, selecting products formulated specifically for these issues ensures maximum efficacy.
- Timing matters: Applying moisturizer immediately after cleansing helps lock in moisture more effectively. This practice assists in creating a protective barrier on the skin surface while enhancing product absorption.
- Gentle application technique: Patting or lightly massaging the moisturizer onto the face using upward motions promotes better circulation and aids in product penetration without excessive tugging or stretching of delicate facial tissues.
- Consistency is key: Regularity in applying moisturizers is vital for long-lasting benefits. Incorporate this step as part of both morning and nighttime routines to keep the skin hydrated throughout the day.
Furthermore, understanding how different ingredients contribute to nourishing the skin can aid individuals in making informed choices regarding their skincare regimen. The following table outlines commonly used components found in various types of moisturizers:
|Hyaluronic Acid||Intense hydration, plumping effect||All skin types|
|Ceramides||Enhances moisture barrier, improves elasticity||Dry and aging skin|
|Aloe Vera||Soothes inflammation, promotes healing||Sensitive skin|
|Vitamin E||Antioxidant properties, protects against free radicals||Sun-damaged skin|
Incorporating these ingredients into moisturizers can provide individuals with a wide range of benefits tailored to their specific skincare needs.
By following proper moisturization techniques and selecting suitable products containing beneficial ingredients, individuals can optimize the health and appearance of their skin. Taking proactive steps towards maintaining adequate hydration levels will contribute to a radiant complexion that exudes confidence and vitality. Remember, healthy-looking skin begins with effective moisturization practices. | <urn:uuid:915bae93-ba26-45c0-853d-37624dcf958d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://fiftysix.net/moisturization/ | 2023-09-28T16:40:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.882151 | 3,342 |

The short answer is NO. For active accounts, Financial Services recommends Departments not process credit balances from Bell Mobility. The credit amount is recorded on your account with Bell Mobility and will be applied against future charges.
Each U of T cheque includes payments currently due from all U of T departments. Processing a credit memo results in a reduction in the overall amount paid to Bell Mobility. There have been issues with Bell Mobility not applying credits to the correct Bell account, resulting in late payment fees.
For large credits on accounts that are closing and have a credit balance, a cheque should be requested from Bell Mobility. | <urn:uuid:defcb6d3-eedb-484e-a462-4689b0dad3e3> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://finance.utoronto.ca/knowledgecentre/should-i-process-a-credit-balance-from-bell-mobility-in-fis/ | 2023-09-28T17:24:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.966524 | 124 |
Both bonds and promissory notes are types of debt used by issuers to raise non-equity financing. That means the holder of the bond or note is entitled to repayment of his investment, plus interest paid on a set of specific terms and at agreed-upon intervals, but has no ownership claim on the borrower that issued the bond or note. Bonds tend to be more complicated than notes, and are only issued by large borrowers.
Bonds Are Big
In some ways, a bond is really just a type of promissory note with more conditions and a longer maturity. Bonds typically have maturities of five years or more. Bonds will also be issued together, in one large offering -- usually at least a few tens of millions of dollars -- in which all the bonds will have the same conditions, known as “terms”. For example, company X might launch a bond issuance of $100 million with a 10-year maturity and a 4-percent "coupon." The coupon is the nominal interest rate of the bond. All the bonds in that issuance will be exactly the same.
Like stocks, bonds are commonly traded securities, and it’s usually easy for investors to learn about the credit worthiness of an issuer. Credit agencies such as Standard & Poor's, Moody’s, and Fitch assign letter grades to bonds based on the likelihood that the borrower will pay back the loan. Bonds are technically complicated securities that are difficult for small companies with few resources to issue. Typically, only large companies, local governments or sovereign countries are able to go through the lengthy process required for an issuance, so bonds aren’t a very good way for smaller lenders to raise debt financing.
On a Modest Note
Where bonds typically have maturity periods of five years or more, promissory notes are short-term investment securities. Unlike the case with bonds, almost anyone can issue a promissory note. As a debt instrument, then, it’s a way for borrowers to obtain credit without having to go through the process of applying for a bank loan or having an investment bank underwrite a bond offering. Since the note is a security, the issuer still needs to register it with security regulators to make it legal. If you buy a promissory note, you’re implicitly assuming the job of determining the credit-worthiness of the borrower, something that a bank usually does.
Promissory notes represent a kind of debt usually sold to other corporations or to sophisticated investors. Unlike bonds, it’s unusual for promissory notes to be marketed to specific investors. In fact, promissory notes sold to individual investors can frequently be scams, so be wary if approached by a broker or insurance agent about investing in these securities. You can check with the Securities and Exchange Commission or your state’s security regulator to verify that the note is legitimate.

Oh, I can’t believe I haven’t shown you yet, I have been wearing my DIY 4th of July earrings all week already, in anticipation of this wonderful American holiday that is quintessential summer fun. Like my handmade 4th-of-July earrings?
I think they match my shirt for the day just fabulously.
How to DIY 4th of July Earrings
Here is a list of jewellery making supplies you’ll need and a mini-tutorial for you. It was a really easy jewellery making project for me:
1. I found these great American coin charms on the local market so I bought a pack. There are literally 00’s of options for coin charms on Amazon. Have a look.
If you prefer to work with some real quarters, maybe some vintage ones with significant meaning for you, you can also buy these to make this project work for you: 25 cent / USA QUARTER Coin Holder~ for charm, necklace, pendant, display (Pack of 4) (learn more on Amazon)
3. The matching coin embellishments were FREE: One earring features a glue-on jewel from an old scrapbooking set. The other is a single star, from a bit of left-over Christmas table confetti that I bought years ago at Ikea.
Use what YOU have laying around that’s a match. If you have tiny bits of red and blue strings, consider adding tiny bows.. That will sure be adorable.
Or get this Americana ribbon set, which makes for adorable 4th of July party decorations, of all kinds!!
4. In my jar of single beads, I found an ‘almost’ matching set of blue and red ceramic beads. Just use the red/blue beads you already have.
5. Now…. putting it all together…
HOW-TO Make These Fabulous Fourth of July Earrings
I strung the red / blue beads on the pins and curled the ends to make a loop and I attached a ring. Open the rings in the earing hoops and hang both the coins and the beads on the earring hoops. With your jewelry-making tools, gently squeeze to close the loops, to keep your ‘jewels’ in position. Voila, you have yourself a very happy 4th of July set of earrings too!
And if I would be not so shy to show my (pretty) face (girl in logo). I would show you how fabulous they look on! So, let me tell you, they look fabulous. I got compliments on them already.

:: Handmade Gifts are Best ::
This shirt folding board is a paper decoupage project I made years ago that I thought would make a fun scrapbooking gift for Fathersday or Valentines day for a person who has lots of shirts to fold … Like your dad, your husband, your papa??
Shirt-folding Board – a Fast Gift to Make from Recycled Materials
And that is to make him a ‘shirt folding board’. ‘What is that??’- you ask?! A shirt folding board allows you to fold shirts fast, and to make perfect-looking shirt piles. It’s a ‘God-sent’ for unorganized types who have the most unorganized closets, and it is angelic for organized types who relish things neat and tidy.
Step-by-step Instructions to Make this Organizing Tool
Measure the desired length and width. Rather than give you my measurements, I am suggesting that instead you measure his wardrobe shelf, and thus the width the shirts should be. Allow for one to two inches in between shirt piles.Then, make a board with slightly less than the ideal width of each shirt.
If you don’t know the closet measurements of the person you are making this for, and thus don’t know the ideal measurements of the shirt folder, then opt to make the folder slightly larger than you think it needs to be, and to make a design on it that will look good, even if the edges of your work will be trimmed off.
Travel Shirt Folding Packs
Standard board dimensions for shirt travel folding boards are: 15″ x 10″, just to give you a guideline. Best brand = Eagle Creek. (learn more or purchase on Amazon) If you use to these dimensions for your folding board, he can simply transfer a stack of his shirts from his wardrobe to his travel case. Fastest travel packing ever
Find a fun or vintage Valentines Card that you’d like to use as a center piece for your decoration. Glue it on. Mine reads:
“There are Many Things, I’m sure, she said,
without which we could not live.
But LOVE is the only one that I could think of”.
Perfect for a Valentine’s Gift
(as well as a Fathers Day or Mothers Day gift)
STEP 3. Cut scrap paper of a compatible color to your card to decoupage the rest of the card in a mosaic pattern.
Wrap it up as a present. What is particularly nice about this present is that the folding board is typically stored in his closet, so he will be reminded of your love every morning. How nice is that?! | <urn:uuid:efa2645e-8777-44c3-9d92-c060bed22bb0> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://finecraftguild.com/fast-valentines-gift-to-make/ | 2023-09-28T16:50:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.951152 | 572 |

You can play online slot machines for no cost, without the need to talk to a customer service representative. The center of your gambling machine business remains the location you are in. Many casinos show the deposit button in a pop-up or highlight it in other clever ways. Even the machines that have logos for specific casinos are yours to take when you’d like. If you are able to play the game, you can win big. It is amazing how much money slot machine companies will offer you for letting them advertise their products.
There are a variety of bonus games available online. Certain are progressive while bizzo casino others are not deposit-based. There are numerous games you can play regardless of your level of skill. Progressive slots payout real money, and there are progressive slot machines are only available to spend already earned credits to earn credits which you can use to purchase more spins. There are a variety of bonus rounds available online, including mini-spots and progressive slots as well as jackpot games. As long as you have a credit account you can play for free slots online.
A lot of players play these games due to the sound of the whirring of the machine and they generally like the speed of the machine too. There are a number of versions of the flash player that allow one to play free slot games. These versions are available for download from many locations on the Internet. They are generally extremely reliable and are suitable for the majority of players. Some users prefer to install the player directly onto their personal computers and then use it from there, while others like the convenience of being capable of downloading the player with them wherever they go, and play anywhere they are.
There are many different kinds of pokie machines available on the internet. While not all will give players good payouts, a lot offer decent payouts. For instance, the slot known as the seven-card draw is recognized to be a good payoff for many players. There are also pokie machines in casinos that have their own style. For instance, machines that are referred to as “lucky seven” and those that feature “hot seven” symbols are usually more likely to pay off than other symbols on a typical machine. The frequency with which machines pay back will vary, but based upon which symbols are featured on it, the payout could be at a maximum on any of these machines.
A lot of these machines will provide an amount of bet, sometimes as 10 dollars, which is usually the standard across most casinos online. These bonus features can come with various payouts. Some are simply a casino graz set amount of credits that can be used towards spinning wilds on slots, whereas others have a much larger payout. The maximum that some jackpots pay out is contingent on the bonuses that are provided, but they will be at a much larger scale than what you can get on standard slots.
Many online casinos provide bonus reels, which give players to win big jackpots by spending a specific period of time per reel. The “bonus” reel feature can be used to spin or play. The players can play multiple reels at once and earn as much as several thousand dollar. After that, they will have to start with a new reel. The “bonus” reels usually do not have an expiration time, which allows players to bet and play as long as they like.
One final slot machine feature that can increase the high volatility of the results of a slot machine is the random number generator (RNG). The RNG is the part of a slot machine that determines the outcome when a player bets on the likelihood that a specific symbol will appear on reels. Although the result of a spin could appear random, the creators of slot machines have some control over what happens. The random number generator could influence the outcome of a single game or it may be completely random. This can increase the volatility of the results. | <urn:uuid:b3d026d3-bf0a-4735-b181-c2b4046deb5c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://fivestarapp.com/how-to-play-free-slot-machines-with-vatility/ | 2023-09-28T16:52:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.962185 | 860 |
Slot machines are the most popular game in online casinos for free. Every new player would like to have a chance at winning huge jackpots! You will find an online casino that offers free slots, no matter what your favorite game. If you’re looking to try your hand at the game for free from the comfort of your home, I would suggest giving you a variety of free online slot machines to practice on and hopefully become a pro! Here’s how you can land on the machines that will win you the jackpot.
The first thing to remember is to not rush to play for real money. You should carefully study the chances of each game, which includes spins at no cost slots before playing with real money. Blackjack and roulette can be extremely difficult games to play alone, as their high house advantage implies that they reward those with the most skill, patience and a lot of experience. Slots don’t offer the same rewards, but they do reward luck and chance. It all depends on how many bets you make.
When you examine the odds of slots you’ll soon discover that the big wins do not come easy. You could win as little as $100 in online casino games, but not as much as the enormous prizes offered by the bigger casinos online. The minimum wins also deter many players from playing long enough to win large amounts of money. There are many great opportunities to quickly make large sums of money. Many of the major progressive tournaments for slot machines offered by the progressive casino apps can be won via multi-player multipliers as well as bonuses and spins!
Further encouraging the players to play more and increasing the excitement level is the thrilling promotions of online casino games offered by some of the largest websites. If there was ever an opportunity to use social media for marketing, it’s now. Special prizes and bonuses for the first time players draw players to join and increase their spins or increase the jackpot size. The excitement of the game draws players in and will make them want to join in the fun.
Not all promotions for online casinos are of equal standard. While some casinos offer a single spin on the wheel with the possibility of winning a prize, some casinos offer a smaller amount, such as bonuses. Casinos often offer a special prize for the player who has the highest amount of chips in one game to increase the excitement. These prizes are very popular among slot players and can encourage players to play for real money instead of free slots.
Some people prefer to play video or computer-based casino games since they require less effort than meridian казино blackjack, roulette or baccarat. The free online casino games require the players to be in peak physical fitness. They must be quick and agile. They must also be confident. They must also have confidence. Roulette and blackjack are both gambling games. However, the games of cards they are distinct.
A lot of online casino games for free have progressive jackpots that increase over time. These progressive slots with huge jackpots offer the highest prizes. Casinos online that provide free play are usually operated on a commission-based basis. That means a part of the profits are split between the casino owners and the players. The websites can offer more free games betsson casino and bonuses online as they share the profits. This allows the player to have more fun playing online casino games without fearing losing any money.
There are many online video slots. Some video slots permit players to re-spin reels that have already been spun. There are also video slot machines that can be rolled, and are not dependent on the mechanical movement of the reels. The slot machine games on online casino websites that have video slots are jackpot games, progressive jackpot games, tournaments for slot machines as well as free spin slot machines. | <urn:uuid:e29df4ea-8e60-4924-82d0-14ecf6e0570f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://fivestarapp.com/online-casino-games-for-free/ | 2023-09-28T18:31:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.96991 | 781 |

People are talking about us. See what they have to say.
“This is a very simple answer — Flatiron School is the best. I did a ton of research and time and time again, it kept circling back to Flatiron School. They’re the best and my thing is, if I want to do something or go somewhere I want it to be the best. Flatiron School fit that bill.”
“I researched lots of different schools, and was ultimately sold on Flatiron School because I loved the Bootcamp Prep – in particular, the ‘Ask A Question’ feature. I was located in Australia at the time, in a completely different timezone, so being able to easily reach out to people, at least for part of the day, was really important. Everyone I spoke to before and during the process of applying at Flatiron School was super helpful and enthusiastic.”
“At Flatiron School, I was challenged, but never really stressed. I also realized how invaluable it was to have a solid cohort and great teachers. They’re all so talented, and I miss them every day!” | <urn:uuid:d8d8f46b-3f9d-41d0-92b0-e76588e85ffb> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://flatironschool.com/award-winning/ | 2023-09-28T17:40:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.985485 | 241 |

For the 17th consecutive year FOCRLS sponsored the Faculty Distinction Awards, with the 2023 recipients bringing the total since 2007 to 68 CRLS staff members honored by students. Members of the graduating class nominated the awardees for having remarkably positive influences over their high school years.

Ms. Natasha Labaze, who has been an English teacher at CRLS since 2001, earned both her undergraduate and graduate degrees from Tufts University. Students describe Ms. Labaze as “an extremely thorough, thoughtful and, most of all, caring person” who “brightens up my day every single time I walk into her classroom.” One student wrote, “Ms.Labaze helped me believe in myself. She helped me realize I was smart and I was capable of many things.”
Mr. Tony Porreca, who has taught at CRLS for 14 years, is a special education teacher within the English and history departments. He is known for being supportive, collaborative, and dedicated. He has a caring approach to working with and relating to his students as well as their families.

Lesley University in special education as well as three degrees from the University of Wisconsin-Madison: a graduate degree in curriculum & instruction/literacy and undergraduate degrees in history and secondary English education. He works closely with his teaching team to create an inclusive community where all students’ voices are heard and he works to provide relevant and engaging content to honor student voice and choice.
Ms. Rickteyzia Simmons has been an educator at CRLS for six years.

MANGLISH is a form of English spoken in Malaysia although to me, it is more like mangled English than anything else.
Let me start with how English is taught in nurseries and schools. It is common to hear children and even adults saying wan, too, tree, for, figh, sick, seben, egg, nigh, tan, eleben and so on.
Be that as it may, my granddaughter could pronounce English words perfectly and with no accent, thanks to the many children’s programmes in English she watched on television. She started speaking rather late, as she refused to repeat after us when we tried coaxing her to speak.
Whenever my wife babysits her, only children’s programmes would be switched on, a sacrifice adults should make. When she decided to start speaking, she could speak in full sentences and pronounce the words clearly. Without we adults realising, she has self-taught herself English.
For example, when she says the word “looked”, the last two letters “ed” could be heard distinctly. She was mature beyond her years as she was not only told but explained, apart from receiving encouragements and praises throughout the day, and getting attention all the time.
She never had to cry for anything. After returning from the nursery, she would play teacher using a whiteboard at home with me and my wife playing students, and she would be stern whenever I was not serious enough. She had the most incredible and happy childhood anyone could have.
She is now 14 and studying in Sydney. Many years ago, I drove her mother to Angkasapuri for an audition as news reader for Radio Television Malaysia (RTM). Although she studied in Chinese schools, she managed to carve a highly successful career in several multinational corporations.
Interestingly, many of those who have studied in Chinese schools would pronounce ‘s’ even when the letter is absent in the word, and not just in nouns.
On the other hand, those from national schools tend to omit the letter ‘s’ because in Malay, nouns are repeated twice for plural.
Foreigners wishing to rent cars to drive in Malaysia could be bewildered by models with tiny engine sizes offered by some local car rental companies. The smallest ones could be 1.0cc, 1.3cc and 1.5cc and if so, such minuscule engines would be impossible or unfeasible to make.
It is another example of many people looking but just could not see, unable to spot the difference between 1.0cc (one cubic centimetre) with 1.0 litre (1,000cc). These errors are not only found in their e-brochures, but also in the terms and conditions of their rental agreements.
Internationally, many people like to pronounce ‘0’ (zero) like the letter ‘O’, which has grave consequences when used interchangeably, especially when typing commercial transactions. For example, US$9,850 could be transferred but not US$9,85O.
It is also common to hear Industry 4.0 pronounced as ‘four-point-oh’ instead of ‘four-point-zero’. Furthermore, any figure after the decimal point should be pronounced individually and not in combination with others.
For example, 3.141592 should not be read as ‘three point fourteen fifteen ninety-two’, unlike figures before the decimal point such as 2022 that can be read as ‘twenty twenty-two’. Also, the amount remains the same regardless of whether there is a decimal point after the last figure.
Malaysians have a strange way of reading out the amount of money written in figures. For example, RM12,300,000 is read as ‘Ringgit Malaysia twelve million three hundred thousand’. I would read it as twelve million three hundred thousand ringgit, without stating Malaysia.
This is because only Malaysia calls its currency ringgit, unlike the dollar which is used in more than 20 countries such as the United States, Australia and Singapore. Although the abbreviation is RM, it would be sufficient to read it as ringgit – adding “Malaysia” is superfluous.
And many of our newsreaders often misunderstood words like severed and row. This was evident when “severed”, meaning “cut off”, was pronounced like the past tense of severe. And when “row” does not refer to lines but noisy argument, it should be pronounced as “rau”.
But most glaring of them all would be “film”, which is usually pronounced like the Malay word “filem”.
Some could keep the ‘i’ silent but would add an ‘e’ and pronounce it as “flem”. To keep this piece short, I have chosen to omit what many people have already written about Manglish. – Oct 21, 2022

Satoshi Nakamoto’s True Identity Revealed
Australian entrepreneur Craig Wright has publicly proven he is bitcoin’s creator by providing technical evidence he is indeed the person commonly referred to as Satoshi Nakamoto.
As reported by BBC, other prominent members of bitcoin community, including Bitcoin Core developers and Bitcoin Foundation’s founder Jon Matonis, agree that the provided evidence is incontestable.
Wright provided his proofs to BBC, Economist and GQ. In particular, while meeting with BBC reporters, he signed messages with cryptographic keys created at the dawn of bitcoin, that are directly linked to blocks mined by Satoshi Nakamoto.
“These are the blocks used to send 10 bitcoins to Hal Finney in January as the first bitcoin transaction,” Craig Wright commented.
Cryptographic expert Hal Finney was one of those who had helped implement Satoshi’s vision in bitcoin protocol.
“I was the main part of it, but other people helped me,” Mr. Wright added.
Jon Matonis is also convinced that the Australian entrepreneur is Satoshi Nakamoto.
“During the London proof sessions, I had the opportunity to review the relevant data along three distinct lines: cryptographic, social, and technical,” he stated.
Bitcoin Foundation’s founder also posted an entry in The Monetary Future titled “How I Met Satoshi Nakamoto” describing the situation in detail.
Earlier such prominent publications as the New Yorker, Fast Company and Newsweek came up with different suggestions as to who Satoshi Nakamoto actually is. Craig Wright first appeared in media last December, when publications Wired and Gizmodo both provided some evidence linking him to Satoshi.
The community was skeptical about the speculations. A mysterious refutation popped up the day after the initial publication. E-mail sent to bitcoin developers from firstname.lastname@example.org, earlier associated with Satoshi Nakamoto, read:
“I am not Craig Wright. We are all Satoshi.”
Craig Wright stated that those speculations have drawn too much undesired attention to him and his friends.
“There are lots of stories out there that have been made up and I don’t like it hurting those people I care about,” he said. “I don’t want any of them to be impacted by this. I really do not want to be the public face of anything […] I want to work, I want to keep doing what I want to do. I don’t want money. I don’t want fame. I don’t want adoration. I just want to be left alone,” Wright said.
Jon Matonis earlier published a link to previously unknown blog by Craig Wright. Its first entry dates back to April 26, 2016.

Greetings, glorious adventurers! If you're joining in our Alpha One spot testing, please follow the steps here to see all the latest test info on our forums and Discord!
So i'm curious with the dynamic weather patterns they are talking about implementing aka long summers and short winters, will bodies of water inland dry up with lack of water? I understand lakes and rivers can be ground fed depending on the water table of the ground or spring water/snow melt from the mountains, i just think it'd be interesting if lakes that were there before dried up and drastically changed the landscape in extended periods of drought And while we are on the topic of extreme change, will droughts cause wild fires due to increasingly drying vegetation? Sorry if this has been asked i could go on with questions of weather impacting the environment and after reading how immersive he wanted to make the environment through extreme weather cycles i just thought i'd ask if this has been discussed or not. | <urn:uuid:d9b72d16-8baf-4e23-9d1a-b0f1bbc5c96a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/discussion/40926/weather-question | 2023-09-28T17:54:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.950179 | 197 |

Iconic shirt rip
Nathan said:Can't wait to see him in action. Hopefully they improved their stunt work. l
It's pretty strange to know that the suit it is sleeveless under that...lol
And cape-less and boot-less as well!
But, Supergirl's costume seems to have the same miraculous powers of hiding its own "bulk", including the cape, boot and skirts when Kara is in civilian clothes (including pants).
I'm happy to suspend disbelief in both instances to get the iconic "shirt rip" scenes!
I ****ing love these colors.
Really, the cape attachments and the belt are ******, but this is overall a great suit. It's grown on me. I like it and I can't wait to watch this.

Having watched anime and sometimes even read Manga, one may have been surprised by the abundance of German elements they contain (due to the obvious physical distance between the two countries), while many of them are quite famous, such as Attack on Titan, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Monster, Hellsing, Girls Und Panzer, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Rozen Maiden and the list goes on and on.When we talk about German elements we mean character names (almost all in Attack on Titan *) and place names, hypotheses inspired by the German history of the Nazi period (Hellsing), landscapes, cities and villages of medieval Germany (Attack on Titan) or even period before the Fullmetal Alchemist. All these German elements, which are not at all discreet but are clearly displayed, show a strong influence of German culture on Japanese, which is more due to historical circumstances.
Initially Japan experienced a period of political, institutional, and social transition known as the Meiji Restoration in 1868, during which the established feudal system evolved into the then “modern” constitutional monarchy. A prime feature of Japan’s feudal system was its complete isolation in the last 200 years before the Reformation, which, when it came, allowed Japanese society to come into contact with the works of the Western world.This contact, in addition to the intellectual works, was in principle necessary for the modernization of the country in terms of military technology / know-how, as technologically Japan had lagged behind the Americans, the Dutch, the British, the French (and all the then colonial powers that reigned on the planet) after so many years of isolation.Thus, in the context of the modernization of Japanese society, they were hired as expert advisers from the Western world and especially from Prussia / Germany (in 1871 the unification of the country took place) with whom cooperation was crucial for Japan. The Germans helped design the country’s industry, namely the military industry, the education system, the medicine and the legal science (the Japanese civil code is based on the German one).Furthermore, several doctors studied the German language (it is no coincidence that in the anime Monster we see a Japanese doctor living in Germany) since they used German terminology until the 70’s, while the iconic in the anime and manga Japanese school uniform was designed with standard the Prussian uniform of the navy.
Most German-dominated manga and anime are mostly military in nature, although this is not limited to them since also in the western world when we want to portray a militarized country / society we go back to early 20s Germany. (e.g. Star Wars). This is due to the image that Germany itself cultivated of itself as a terrifying military force during the two World Wars.
In addition there is also the fact that Japan and Germany were allies during the Second World War , however Japan did not suffer as much as the rest of Europe from the heinous acts of the Nazis, due to its natural distance and thus they (German people during Nazi era) have not been associated with all these negatives by the Japanese people like it is the case for the rest of the world. Their cooperation on an economic level, now ** continued even after the end of WWII.
But beyond the German influences, as far as military anime is concerned, there are also German influences in anime with supernatural / mystical themes because, perhaps, they give an extra element of exoticism due to the language (like the “spells” / “magic” in the anime Hellsing). In Europe, after all, there were alchemists and various other such movements (Hermeticism, for example), which left their mark on the traditional Western occult and spiritual tradition. The “magic words” from Hellsing come from the tradition of the Hermetic Alchemists:
Of course, many believe that this “obsession” with these German elements of the Nazi period is linked to Japanese nationalism, as they consider some anime / manga to have an apologetic attitude to the period of fascism that the country experienced in the 1930s ,which led to the invasion of China in 1937. An example they give is that in Attack on Titan the Mikasa character bears the same name as the Imperial Japanese Navy warship and the fact that the creator of the anime (Hajime Isayama) admitted that he created the Dot Pixis character based on the general Yoshifuru Akiyama of the Imperial Japanese Army, which had occupied Korea until 1930. In a broader context, the clearest evidence from this period of the country is the depiction of teenagers literally becoming soldiers and proving how good soldiers they are by serving their homeland.
* Many parts of the anime soundtrack have German lyrics.
** The word “part-time job” in Japanese comes from the word “Arbeit” which means “job” in German. | <urn:uuid:28f6fce7-b1e2-4918-b6bb-36814e994baa> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://freakydelia.com/2020/12/05/why-do-so-many-japanese-anime-have-germanic-influences/ | 2023-09-28T17:52:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.969862 | 997 |

How to Find a Good Sportsbook
A sportsbook is a place where people can bet on different kinds of sporting events. These can be located in casinos or online. Some people use these places to make money while others just enjoy the experience.
Legality of sports betting varies from state to state, so it’s important to check the laws in your area before placing a bet. This will ensure that you’re protected from rogue operators and don’t end up in trouble.
Odds and lines are the most important factors to consider when placing a bet, so it’s important to shop around for them. You’ll want to find a sportsbook that offers better odds for your favorite team than others. This can save you a lot of money over the long haul.
Parlays are another type of bet that sportsbooks make a lot of money on. They offer low odds but high payouts, which makes them attractive to punters.
Bettors can also place bets on totals, which are the total number of points scored by both teams combined. These bets are also available for a variety of sports, including baseball and football.
The sportsbook’s house rules are very important, so it’s always a good idea to read them before you place your bets. Some sportsbooks have stricter house rules than others, so it’s important to know what you’re getting into before you sign up.
Layoff accounts are a great way to balance out your bets, and they’re available from most sportsbooks. They’re especially useful for games that have a wide variety of betting options, such as the Super Bowl.
A layoff account is used when the action on either side of a game is so large that it can negatively impact your bottom line. Often, these accounts are offered as part of a sportsbook management package.
You can also use them to cover losses if your bets lose a significant amount of money. This will prevent you from losing more than you can afford to lose, and will also help your bankroll stay healthy.
Some sportsbooks offer free bets for new customers and these can be very lucrative. However, you should know that these bonuses are subject to rollover requirements and other restrictions. You should also make sure that you choose a sportsbook with decent odds and a user-friendly platform.
Bonuses are a great way to attract new players and encourage them to keep coming back for more. There are many different types of bonuses, so you should find one that best suits your needs and your target audience.
Using these bonuses can help you grow your sportsbook and earn more money from your website. You should also create content that reviews these bonuses and discusses their terms and conditions.
It’s also a good idea to use these bonuses to create contests that are highly engaging and will draw in new players. This can be done by offering prizes such as high-value items and sports tickets. | <urn:uuid:6031310c-7cba-4cca-b312-c1b379f8cbd0> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://frenchyswellness.com/how-to-find-a-good-sportsbook-4/ | 2023-09-28T17:16:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.958392 | 614 |

On Saturday, June 26, 2021, at one of the most magical locations in BiH – Banja Luka’s Banj hill, a new, fifth edition of the most anticipated outdoor party will be held!
Fresh Wave Festival residents Mladen Tomić, Nebs Jack and Woodie, guests Stefan Ivanković and Goran Emkić will perform on the plateau, the cult dance podium of Picnic, and the star of the evening is the phenomenal French DJ OXIA!
Ever since its first EP in 1995 on Ozone Records, OXIA has positioned itself at the very top of the French electronic music scene. With a series of releases on labels such as Goodlife, Intec, Terminal, Kompakt, 8bit, Tsuba and many others over the years he has delivered an impressive release list that has nailed him to the very top of the world of electronic sound. The legendary and timeless hit track “Domino”, released in 2006, has more than 45 million views on YouTube, and a refined reissue of this classic that was released in early 2017 as part of the tenth anniversary of the single had a same success. Almost unbelievable but very true, Domino still captures the attention of fans around the world, just as it was when it was first released.
OXIA is one of those multi-award-winning performers who has toured the planet several times at the DJ desk, and his performances are unforgettable, whether they are at big festivals or in intimate clubs and from big clubs to intimate festivals. Its rich breadth covers every chapter of the night imaginable and represents the shortest path as an absolute pleasure of refined sound and unrepeatable choice. Without a doubt, OXIA will once again inject pure love into audience and this time it will be on the upcoming Fresh Wave Picnic.
We have been waiting for the opportunity to hang out and enjoy music again for fifteen months, and the upcoming Picnic is a way to remind ourselves of the festival atmosphere of the Fresh Wave Festival and celebrate love, music and the joy of having good time together with some of the world’s most exciting DJ’s!
Fresh Wave Picnic starts at 12, until 5 pm and in that time the entrance will be free, and after that the entrance fee is 15 KM. Tickets will be on sale soon, and the sales outlets are Pub Hogwarts and at the event gate on the day of the event.

Title: Army Assistant Surgeon, Civil War
Birthdate: March 3, 1836
Death Date: August 4, 1863
Plot Location: Section 8, Lot 13, west half
Evan was one of ten children but one of only five to survive childhood. They were all born in Berwick, Pennsylvania west of Hazelton in Columbia County. Evan was named after his father, an attorney, who moved the family to Philadelphia after the fifth child died. The family’s tragic experiences may have been what motivated Evan and the firstborn son, Elisha, to become doctors.
Elisha was ten years older and already a physician when the family moved to the city in 1850. It certainly made it easier for Evan to attend medical college there. His brother went in the navy as an assistant surgeon for 14 months during the Civil War, then enjoyed a lengthy career in private practice.
Evan followed on the same path as an assistant surgeon when he joined the 31st Pennsylvania Infantry (also known as 2nd Pennsylvania Reserve Regiment) on November 21, 1862. That was just before the Battle of Fredericksburg in December, which may have been the most one-sided battle of the war. Dr. Jackson and the other surgeons were kept busy treating 9600 wounded Union soldiers, twice as many as the Confederates who were wounded. He reported to Colonel William “Buck” McCandless who commanded the regiment, who also happens to be buried here at Mount Moriah. His dramatic and “Notable” life story can be found here.
The Colonel was given command of the 1st Brigade of the Reserves, which was sent to Washington, D.C. to defend the Capitol and recuperate after the loss at Fredericksburg. The brigade’s next engagement was July 1-3, 1863 in Gettysburg, where Dr. Jackson’s experience would be severely tested. The outcome was much better for the Union, but as the armies moved on, he stayed behind to process the thousands of injuries, amputations, and diseases he encountered.
Unfortunately, he contracted typhoid fever, and had to be sent to the Providence Hospital in Washington, D.C. for treatment. The Sisters of Charity cared for him until he died about a month after the battle ended. His body was returned to his parents’ home in Philadelphia and was buried here on August 10. Evan’s father died in 1869, his mother in 1871, and Evan’s younger brother Edwin in 1876. They are all buried here in the family plot in the as-yet uncleared Section 8.
Medicine and Civil War in the 1860s
It is important to understand the conditions, constraints, and environment Dr. Jackson experienced as a physician in the Civil War. First, the practice of medicine was very primitive compared to just forty years later. There were 200 medical schools in the U.S. and schooling consisted of a two year program, but the second year was merely a repeat of the first year’s curriculum. Another path to becoming a doctor was to apprentice with a doctor who, if the doctor felt the student knew as much as could be taught, then left him to set up his own practice.
Disease killed more men than combat in the Civil War. Current estimates of war dead exceed 700,000, and of that total, 400,000 were due to disease. Little was known about sanitation and how the spread of germs contributed to disease. The study of antisepsis (the destruction of microorganisms that cause infection) was just beginning in Europe, not in the U.S. The lack of knowledge of infectious causes of illness led to the absence of basic sanitary principles. Doctors seldom washed their hands or their instruments between patients.
Crowded camp situations also contributed to the transmission of diseases. Latrines were placed too close to streams where drinking water was obtained. Fecal matter from humans and animals contaminated food and water.
Dysentery was the number one killer, followed by typhoid fever. Symptoms would include high fever, severe headache, and a rash and there was no known treatment. A famous Gettysburg cavalry general, John Buford, died from it five months after Gettysburg. Medical staffing was also a problem. At the beginning of the war the Union had only 27 surgeons and 61 assistant surgeons.
When Dr. Jackson joined the 2nd Pennsylvania Infantry in December,1862 there were only 2 surgeons and 3 assistant surgeons for a unit totaling 900 men. This might have been sufficient for a random fire fight, but it was not adequate for major battles when casualties were in the tens of thousands.
Gettysburg is typical of the major battles. it lasted three days, leaving behind chaos and carnage. Bodies had to be buried and the wounded had to be treated. During and after the battle the wounded were taken to field hospitals set up in barns, churches, houses, any structure where the surgeons could do their work.
Dr. Jonathan A. Letterman was Medical Director of the Army of the Potomac and was directed to leave with General Meade’s army after the end of the battle. He developed a plan to consolidate all the “field hospitals” into one hospital for more efficient care of some 21,000 Union and Confederate patients. Eventually the population was reduced to 3000 patients sheltered in 400 hospital tents laid out in rows about 4 feet apart.
Before long it became a clean, efficient, and well managed medical care facility. Each medical officer was responsible for 50-70 patients and was assisted by many volunteer nurses who came from near and far. By the end of August the patient population had dropped to 1600, by late October it fell to 300, and it officially closed on November 20, one day after Lincoln gave his Gettysburg address.

Friday produced the realignment aftershock following the decimation of the Pac-12.
ACC university presidents have voted to invite Stanford, Cal, and SMU to the conference in 2024. On Thursday night, it was unclear whether the league would send invitations, as UNC said publicly that it was against expansion. The league needed 12 of 15 votes.
The ACC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Stanford and Cal will be able to maintain their status as Power 5 schools, while SMU will jump from a Group of 5 to a Power 5 — the latest step in a path to regain the powerhouse football program it boasted back in the 1980s.
For Power 5 status, however, the three schools will give up major revenue.
Stanford and Cal have agreed to relinquish 70% of their shares of the ACC’s media rights deal for seven years, earning an increasing amount later on, a source confirmed to Front Office Sports. SMU will forgo all its media dollars for nine years.
The source noted, however, that the three schools will receive full shares of non-media rights revenue, like NCAA distributions. Tax returns suggest non-media ACC distributions would be about $9 million per school, which is about what SMU receives in total from the AAC.
For SMU, the assumption is that boosters will bridge the gap. The three schools likely won’t be able to use their multibillion-dollar endowments to fund the move, FOS previously reported. The decision is particularly surprising for Cal, which has the most athletic department debt of any school in the country at $450 million.
All three will face major travel costs.
ESPN will reportedly pay the conference a “pro rata” sum for each new school every year, according to multiple reports — meaning the network will add enough money to its existing contract that shares won’t be diluted. The current deal pays out a little more than $30 million per school, according to tax returns.
The overall revenue gain for the ACC is reportedly modest, at less than $60 million annually that all existing members will split. Some of the money, however, will reportedly be distributed through a performance-based fund — which has clearly placated at least one member who was against the move.
Expansion is a necessary insurance policy for the longevity of the ACC, which is anticipating the loss of top programs in the future to the ever-growing Super Conferences, an industry source told FOS. It likely needs to stay above 14 members to maintain the value of the current ESPN contract.
It could put the conference in a better negotiating position when the current contract expires in 2036. Though the source noted that it’s “anybody’s guess” whether these additions will make a difference in 13 years.
Now that the ACC has made a decision, all eyes will turn to Oregon State and Washington State.
The schools have three possibilities: join the Mountain West, join the AAC, or poach schools to rebuild the Pac-12.
Both Mountain West Commissioner Gloria Nevarez and AAC Commissioner Mike Aresco have reportedly already made proposals to the two leftovers.
But can they retain Power 5 status? “That’s the central question, isn’t it,” Nevarez previously told FOS.
Washington State president Kirk Schulz has said that rebuilding the Pac-12 is his favorite option — though it’s clearly the least likely. Still, the schools could opt to bring the Pac-12’s name with them to the AAC or Mountain West.
The Power 5 status of any newly minted conference, however, will have to be determined by voting committees in the NCAA and College Football Playoff, Nevarez noted.
The latest round of realignment began in 2021, when Texas and Oklahoma announced they would join the SEC. A year later, USC and UCLA announced they would go to the Big Ten — a factor in the ultimate demise of the Pac-12, which has now lost all but two members after failing to secure a lucrative media rights contract. | <urn:uuid:c1fb1de1-afc3-414e-88e7-3673977b276d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://frontofficesports.com/new-look-acc-will-prioritize-power-5-status-over-media-revenue/ | 2023-09-28T18:14:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.966905 | 846 |
NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal has finally been tracked down by a Florida law firm representing thousands of investors in a lawsuit against the collapsed crypto exchange FTX.
The Miami-based Moskowitz Law Firm tweeted that O’Neal had been “running from us for three months” as lawyers tried to serve legal papers to the “NBA on TNT” analyst for his role in promoting FTX. The firm said lawyers stood outside TNT’s Atlanta studios all week hoping to hand their legal complaint to Shaq, but security didn’t allow them in the building.
On Sunday, the firm said it served legal papers to him outside his house, an encounter captured on video surveillance cameras.
“We made it very clear that he is not to destroy or erase any of these security tapes, because they must be preserved for our lawsuit,” the law firm tweeted.
Moskowitz said O’Neal was the only FTX celebrity endorser evading them and “all other FTX celebrities have agreed to receive their complaints.”
Shaq, Tom Brady, and Steph Curry were named as defendants in a class-action lawsuit filed against FTX in Florida last November claiming U.S. consumers sustained over $1 billion in damages from the collapse.
Shaq told FOS in 2021 that he tried to avoid crypto partnerships. | <urn:uuid:eae4f7c4-17b4-42a1-be97-48ea9fe2a58e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://frontofficesports.com/shaq-finally-tracked-down-served-for-role-in-ftx-lawsuit/ | 2023-09-28T17:32:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.976961 | 284 |
Dairy Free Iced Coconut Pumpkin Lattes
#Pumpkinweek continues with a spin on a popular drink! Did someone call for a dairy free PSL?! Did you know Starbucks’ pumpkin sauce isn’t dairy free? So even if you get coconut milk or their almond “drink” (that scares me that they call it a drink, instead of almond milk!), you’ll still be getting some dairy in your latte. Why not try my completely dairy free version instead! This recipe dairy free coconut pumpkin iced lattes also uses pure pumpkin purée, which gives you an extra burst of pumpkiny goodness. Try it iced or hot, they’re both delicious!
This recipe is generously sponsored by Torani Syrups and Sweets & Treats. All opinions are my own.
What do you think the secret to getting that perfect foam top without dairy is? It’s an immersion blender! Whipping it creates a gorgeous layer of foam! You can also throw it in the blender and whip it that way too, if you don’t have an immersion/hand blender. Whip it for 2-3 minutes, and you’ll create a delightful foam. You can also serve these hot if you want. I almost always prefer my coffee iced, but sometimes, in the dead of winter, you just need a good cup of steaming coffee! Either way you choose, they’re both delicious!

Native to the western Atlantic Ocean the lane snapper is sometimes mistaken for a red snapper. It’s distinctive yellow coloration distinguishes lane from red snapper. Colors varies in a lane snapper from rosy red to a dusty yellow green. Horizontal yellow stripes on the side of the fish with can be masked by horizontal blotching. A dark eye sized spot can be found just below the dorsal fin. It’s tail is reddish with a splash of black.
Lane snapper has delicate flesh with a delicate flavor. The flesh is near white with darker areas just under the skin, but these do not have a strong taste. Use delicate sauces so as not to overwhelm the flavor.

During its annual State of American Energy event, API today called on Congress and the administration to adopt policies to strengthen American energy leadership while building on the progress the U.S. has made in reducing emissions to generational lows. At a time when Americans view energy costs as a major concern, API President and CEO Mike Sommers headlined the event alongside other API leadership and industry engineers and innovators who are tackling the energy challenges of today and tomorrow to keep our country moving forward.
“In so many ways, the state of American energy is strong,” Sommers said. “Our nation has the resources and expertise it takes to meet our energy needs, support millions of jobs, continue to address the risks of climate change, and keep America free from the dangers of dependence on unreliable foreign sources. Even so, we begin 2022 with Americans viewing energy and its costs as major concerns. This is in part because lately, we’ve seen policies aimed at restricting production and delivery of U.S. natural gas and oil.”
Sommers called on Congress and the administration to implement policies to address climate change, including those outlined in API’s Climate Action Framework; encourage development of responsibly produced domestic energy; and craft regulatory policies that provide certainty, unleash private investment and build on industry technological progress, including on methane emissions.
“This industry is ever-evolving and transitioning through incorporation of new technology, cleaner fuels, and new systems to deliver energy with fewer emissions and a smaller footprint,” Sommers said. “Our industry brings the scale and expertise to make a lower-carbon future a reality. This is about addition, not subtraction. America needs all the reliable, affordable, lower-carbon energy we can get.”
“When policy signals prevent energy leadership here at home, there are going to be consequences,” Sommers said. “U.S. policies that restrict domestic production force our country to seek relief from OPEC, undermining our energy independence. America should not be in the position of asking for foreign energy supplies, especially when we have abundant resources produced to standards that are among the highest in the world, right here at home. Instead, we should be leading, as the world’s top producer of natural gas and oil.”
“It’s when things get rough in energy markets—when Americans have felt the turbulence of instability in places like California, Texas or New England – that we can see energy as the bipartisan priority that it should be,” Sommers said. “At API, we advocate in that spirit every day. Nothing is more essential to economic growth than reliable, affordable and abundant energy. To lose that advantage is not in anybody’s best interest. And so, we make our case to everyone, working with both political parties in Congress and across all 50 states.”
In addition to API President and CEO Mike Sommers, the event featured Chance Chase, vice president of Mack Energy Corporation in New Mexico; Heidi Gill, founder and CEO of Urban Solution Group in Colorado; and Sue Gumble, program director at Lackawanna College School of Petroleum and Natural Gas. API Executive Vice President and COO Amanda Eversole also led a panel featuring industry engineers and innovators from Apache Corporation, Halliburton, Alyeska, Marathon Petroleum Corporation and Coterra Energy who discussed ways the industry is taking action to improve local communities and tackle today’s energy and environmental challenges.
API represents all segments of America’s natural gas and oil industry, which supports more than 11 million U.S. jobs and is backed by a growing grassroots movement of millions of Americans. | <urn:uuid:03abad40-85bd-4102-a4db-29fb4308c1c7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://fuelsmarketnews.com/api-issues-call-to-action-in-2022-state-of-american-energy-address/ | 2023-09-28T17:25:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.93973 | 757 |

When high clouds overspread an area, the traditional brightness temperature difference product cannot be used to highlight areas of fog and low stratus because radiation emissions are originating from high clouds, not from the water-based low clouds. In this example from Monday morning, 17 December 2012, IFR conditions, causing airport flight delays, are commons from Washington DC to New York, and the GOES-R IFR probability product highlights the area where IFR (and near-IFR) conditions prevail. Modest values (around 50%) occur where the satellite predictors do not provide a fog/low stratus signal; however, the Rapid Refresh model data does show high probability of fog and low stratus. Where the Satellite does contribute to the product (that is, in Pennsylvania north and east of the high cloud deck), IFR probabilities are very high.
Note also that the GOES-R Cloud Thickness product (bottom left), is computed only for the highest water-based cloud (in non-twilight conditions). It is therefore not shown under the cirrus canopy, over southern New Jersey, Delaware, and Chesapeake Bay. | <urn:uuid:3aa3ceda-8f94-41b7-a195-a861af14dc09> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://fusedfog.ssec.wisc.edu/2012/12/17/ifr-conditions-under-high-clouds-in-the-northeast/ | 2023-09-28T17:55:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.905044 | 228 |
Seeing Without Eyes
When a person becomes blind — as opposed to being born that way — their brain's visual cortex is typically undamaged. However, it's also fairly useless since it's not receiving any information from the eyes.
In an extraordinary medical trial, six blind people have now had their vision partially restored thanks to Orion, a new device that feeds images from a camera directly into the brain — and they may just be the first of many to benefit from the cutting-edge tech.
"By bypassing the eye completely you open the potential up to many, many more people," Optegra Eye Hospital surgeon Alex Shortt, who wasn't involved with the research, told The Daily Mail. "This is a complete paradigm shift for treating people with complete blindness. It is a real message of hope."
The Orion device comprises two main parts: a brain implant and a pair of glasses. The implant consists of 60 electrodes that receive information from a camera mounted on the glasses. Together, they can deliver visual information directly to the wearer's brain, removing the eyes from the equation entirely.
"If you can imagine every spot in the visual field in the visual world, there's a corresponding part of the brain that represents that area, that spatial location," researcher Daniel Yoshor explained in a video on the tech. "And we know that if we stimulate someone's brain... in a specific spot, we will produce a perception of a spot of light corresponding to that map in the visual world."
To test their device, the researchers asked completely blind participants in an early feasibility study to look at a black computer screen while using Orion. When a white square would randomly appear on the screen, the participants could correctly point to the square the majority of the time.
"Theoretically, if we had hundreds of thousands of electrodes in the brain we could produce a rich visual image," he said in a press release. "Think of a painting that uses pointillism, where thousands of tiny spots come together to create a full image. We could potentially do the same by stimulating thousands of spots on the occipital part of the brain.”
Still, even in its current state, the device is already changing lives.
"It is awe inspiring to see so much beauty," Benjamin James Spencer, a 35-year-old study participant who has been blind since age nine, told The Daily Mail, noting his new ability to see his wife's face shape and his kids running up to him for a hug.
"It is not perfect vision — it is like grainy 1980s surveillance video footage," Spencer added. "It may not be full vision yet, but it’s something."

MARCH 27, 2018
ATLANTA, GA – We are truly saddened by the death of former Georgia Governor Zell Miller. Miller was a true champion for education. He helped pave the way for the more than 86,000 children who are enrolled in a Georgia public charter school today. In 1993, he signed a law allowing for conversion charter schools. In 1998, Miller took an even larger step by signing an act that led to the creation of startup charter schools throughout Georgia. Twenty years later, we reflect on his life and legacy and are grateful for all that he did to benefit the state’s public school students.
About Georgia Charter Schools Association

Our mission is to advocate for, foster and support autonomous, high-quality charter public schools throughout Georgia.

United Kingdom based Zimbabwean businesswoman Olinda Chapel says despite the criticism and controversies on social media surrounding her marriage and lifestyle 2021 is a year of Healing.
“2021 is a year of healing. 2020 was very difficult for many. 2021 is a year that we have to move past the losses of 2019 and 2020.”
With regards to her troubled marriage to musician Tytan, Chapel said everything was fine and they were in a happy union.
“After going through a very difficult time in our marriage, we managed to reconcile and we are living happily as husband and wife. We are a family again.”
The Herald reports that Chapel identified herself as a business lady instead of a socialite, “I am not a socialite, but a businesswoman, there is a difference between the two,”.

Is Keyzar Legit?
In this review, we’ll delve into the pros and cons of purchasing from Keyzar, helping you make an informed decision about this intriguing option.
1. GIA Certification and Appraisal: Keyzar stands out by providing GIA-certified diamonds and accompanying appraisals. This meticulous attention to quality assurance could offer peace of mind for customers concerned about the authenticity and value of their purchase.

2. NYC Address without Storefront: Keyzar lists an address in the renowned diamond district of New York City. However, the absence of a physical storefront visible on Google Street View could be perplexing.
It’s plausible that they operate from within a building, possibly sourcing their diamonds from this location. Alternatively, this address might serve to enhance their credibility, especially if they are a growing enterprise.
3. Mixed Reviews: While the majority of Keyzar’s reviews are positive, there is mention of one instance where a customer received a ring that was not as described.

In 2008, I worked for a short period of time for Kanata Honda. On Flag Day, Feb. 15 th. We created a Signature Flag in Support of the Troops. When the flag was completed I decided to bring it to work in order to let my coworkers sign the flag. The first young fellow to come along asked if he could sign my flag. His name was Jason Good. He told me that his uncle was the last soldier to die in Afghanistan, which shocked me and I didn't know what to say. There was room at the top of the flag so I asked him to sign there. He wrote, In Memory of Trooper Brian Good and signed, Jason Good.
He had commented, that he liked my hat. It was a Legion hat with Support The Troops on it. The next day I went to Legion Headquarters in Kanata and bought him a hat. I gave him the hat and one of my white flags with the outline of the maple leaf and the two bars drawn in with red marker. I told him that he could get all of his co-workers, friends, and relatives to sign and give the flag to Trooper Brian Good's wife.
On Mon. June 2nd., 2008, our Member of Parliament, Scott Reid invited me to Parliament Hill to present the same, Signature Flag to the Honourable Peter McKay, Minister of National Defence in Support of Our Troops. Peter took the flag over to Kandahar several weeks later and presented it to the Troops. In Dec. 2011 Bill Bagg heard that they were moving the monument to Ottawa and would eventually be finding a new home somewhere in the Ottawa area. He suggested that it would tie in well with the Hall of Valour and they were looking for a new home. I thought that it would be a great tie-in and decided to run with the idea. I approached Mayor Wendy Le Blanc and she liked the idea. I asked if she would send a letter to Peter MacKay, Minister of National Defense and she readily agreed, saying, "If you don't write the letter, there's not a chance of it happening. They're not going to come to you." She sent the letter on Jan. 4th., 2012. Then, on Feb. 13th., she received a letter back from Peter McKay thanking her for the offer and saying that we would be considered in the process. On Mon. Dec. 3rd. 2012 the story was on the front page of the Ottawa Citizen, " Carleton Place lobbies for the Afghan Memorial."
On March 23rd., 2012, five soldiers from across Canada came to the Almonte Legion to present me back one of my flags that was created in Mississippi Mills on Flag Day several years earlier in Levi Home Hardware. I immediately presented the flag to the Almonte Legion because the flag was created in Mississippi Mills. Mayor John Levi was a part of the presentation. I was also presented with a beautiful wine and gold Afghan. I was talking to the soldier that presented the flag to me and told him
that we had applied for the Afghan Monument. He told me that he disassembled it and packed it up to be sent to Ottawa. What are the chances?
When the Monument had come back to Ottawa I saw on the News an interview with Trooper Brian Good's wife looking at the crate that held the pieces of the Monument and she was holding the black granite plaque with her husband's picture and name.

Above is the Klam fortress standing proud on its rock, while below is the Klamschlucht gorge where I visited on my last trip to Linz. Situated in the town of Klam. Now not to be confused with ‘Klamm’ which means gorge (if you’ve being following my obsession of photographing these places you no doubt know). The people of Klam have played with the word ‘Klammschlucht’ – the gorge that offers both a ‘Klamm’ and a ‘Schlucht’.
But what’s more interesting, if not bizarre is the rock structures to be found within the canyon. The gorge offers a fine example of what they called ‘Woolsack’ formation of rocks in German the word is ‘Wollsackverwitterung‘, otherwise known as a ‘granite tor’. Formed millions of years ago, when the climate was more topical this granite outcrop would of being the bedrock. Covered underground, the heavy rains would make their way through the stone and form channels. When the ice age came about 10,000 years ago, these water lines expanded and cracked the rock. | <urn:uuid:6c7a0439-fc00-4a69-b3af-af67adb4d9aa> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://gavinlyons.photography/gorges-of-muhlviertel-in-upper-austria-%E2%80%93-part-ii-klamschlucht-granite-tor/ | 2023-09-28T17:45:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.934334 | 257 |

Meanings When You Dream Of An Eagle
Here are some interpretations of what it means to dream about an Eagle.
1. Dream Of Seeing An Eagle
This is a sign of future wealth and prosperity. You will enter an even more successful period of your life. This is despite already being surrounded by positive energy, happiness, and an abundance of great friends as well as family.
Things are truly golden for you. However, you should not lose sight of how lucky you are. Take the opportunity to help those around you who are not so fortunate. Also, be humble with your good fortune so as not to unnecessarily alienate those around you.
2. Dream of An Evil Eagle
You have a dark secret that you have been keeping from everyone. You know that if it comes out, it will destroy your reputation and the life you have successfully built for yourself. It will cause so many problems that you may even have to consider moving to escape the aftermath.
Carrying secrets around is a tiring and stressful thing to do. Although we do not have to be honest about everything in our lives, we should also not have to hide our past if it comes back to us in a public manner.
In this situation, it might be best to take a qualified and trained professional who is bound by confidentiality. Talk through what happened in your past and how it makes you feel now. You should also talk about your fears of your secret becoming exposed and your options for living your life in the present.
3. Dream Of An Eagle With A Broken Wing
This means that something bad is going to affect your life in the coming weeks. It will be down to the careless actions of yourself or others. Regardless, the result will be the same, and unfortunately, you are going to be the one that is most affected.
The result will be that you will lose people close to you or some object or objects that you prize highly.
4. Dream of Watching a Flying Eagle
You will receive some good news at work in the form of a promotion. In turn, this will lead to an unexpected pay rise and a significant rise in your standard of living. The promotion will come as a shock because it has happened relatively quickly.
You may initially feel out of depth with the range and complexities of your responsibilities. However, you need to hang on because you will quickly adapt and become competent in dealing with your new responsibilities. Believe in yourself and be confident.
5. Dream of An Eagle In a Cage
This could mean one of two things. Firstly, it might mean that someone in your family is going to suffer a public downfall. They will bring disgrace on their selves and this disgrace upon the extended family. The person or persons involved may have been caught in a criminal act or a particularly unpleasant act of betrayal.
Secondly, it might mean that, like the caged eagle, you are confined, though obviously not in a literal sense. It could be that you feel you are unable to show your full potential, and you still have not shown your best to the world. For whatever reason, maybe a lack of confidence, or low self-esteem, you are holding yourself back with this negative mindset.
6. Dream Of Two Eagles Fighting
This could also have two possible meanings. It could mean that you have some internal conflict and you are unsure which of two future goals you should be pursuing. The fighting eagle in your dream is a symbol of the battle in your head as you choose which way to go.
Alternatively, it might mean that you are the subject of a fight between two other people. For some reason, you have divided opinion on something you have done or said, and it is being hotly debated. It could be in either your social or work life. There is also the possibility that this heated disagreement will never come to light.
7. Dream Of An Eagle Flying Overhead
This indicates that you have been cutting yourself off from people. Although not noticeable at first, you are now increasingly spending more time alone. It is now at the point where you are living your life as pretty much a recluse.
It may not have been your intention, but you are in this position now.
Your flying eagle dream is telling you to listen to your inner voice, which is screaming loud and clear that your current situation has to change. As uncomfortable as it is, you have to undo what has already been done. If you have anxieties about going out and socializing, you should consider talking to a professional to guide you through the next steps.
8. Dream Of An Eagle Being Unable To Fly
This shows that you have had a series of warnings from your friends and families about your current life situation. They are telling you that your current path is fraught with pain and difficulties. Despite their best efforts to deter you from your present lifestyle and bad habits, it all falls on deaf ears.
You have continued on your course, but now your subconscious is telling you to think again. Listen to your inner voice and try to think objectively about what people have been trying to tell you. Keep your emotions in check and make your next move on the facts and not your feelings.
Hopefully, you will make the right decision.
9. Dream Of An Eagle Soaring Overhead
This means that you are an agreeable person who has allowed others to take advantage of you and manipulate you for their own purposes. You have now recognized this, and you are building up the courage to put this to an end.
Your eagle soaring dream is telling you that you are making the right choice and must continue with your plans. It will not be easy to take back control of your life, but your subconscious knows it is the right thing to do. Be brave and under no circumstances allow the bullies to continue having a hold over you. It will be hard at times, but ultimately the victory will be yours.
10. Dream Of A Wounded Eagle
You are a high achiever with ambitious goals, and for all the world, you appear to be doing well from the outside. However, your plans have exceeded what you are able to achieve, and you are not left feeling deflated and a failure.
You need to accept that your goals are currently not attainable, and you should look again at your long-term plans. It is not that these cannot be achieved at some point, but it is unlikely in the immediate future. You, therefore, need to modify your current ambitions to something that is more realistic.
11. Dream Of Catching An Eagle
It could be that you have a tendency to make decisions for other people rather than letting them decide for themselves. It is not that you want to do them harm in some way but more the case that you think you know best.
The dream where you catch an eagle indicates that you have to stop interfering in people’s lives and allow them to make their own ways. This also includes making their own mistakes. You are being perceived as domineering and unempathetic, which is not a good look.
Take a step back but still make yourself open and available for people. However, if they need your help, resist the temptation to step in when you think unnecessarily. This will make for much more harmonious relationships with your family and work colleagues.
12. Dream Of Shooting An Eagle
This has two possible meanings. The first isn’t so great. You may be experiencing a period of misery and depression. Things could be going wrong for you at home and work. It could also extend to the loss of close personal friendships.
It is possible that you have been recently divorced or suffered from the bereavement of a close family member. You may also have lost your job or be experiencing financial difficulty due to your business failing.
On all fronts, things do not look especially good…
It is a challenging period in your life, and you feel that you are running out of options. As bad as you feel, you need to keep going because you will get through it, and there will be light at the end of the tunnel.
The second meaning is that you have a strong desire to be successful in life. You are driven in your professional and private life to achieve high status. At present, things are not going so well, and you are consequently feeling frustrated.
The obstacles that are in your way are all part of the natural process, and you should hold not allow them to stop you from chasing your dreams. The road to success is never easy and is paved with barriers. Keep this in mind, and don’t let your current situation dictate your future.
13. Dream of An Eagle Preying on a Hare
This could mean that you are in a difficult position and being dominated by someone. The dream symbolizes the power of the eagle over the hare. This transfers in your waking life, where you are the equivalent of the hare, and the dominant party is the eagle.
For whatever reason, you are currently trapped in this situation. However, the future will provide an opportunity for you to fake a move and escape. Be brave and take the opportunity to get away.
14. Dream Of Killing An Eagle
This signifies that you are highly competitive and will stop at nothing to win in whatever you set your mind to. You will not let anything or anyone stand in your way and will think nothing of destroying your rivals in the process. It points to someone who is ruthless, relentless, and potentially dangerous to anyone getting in their way.
On the journey to achieving what you want, you will make many enemies, and these could come back to hurt you. The possible backlash is now playing on your mind as you are beginning to see the potential for people to inflict the kind of pain that you have on them.
It is never too late to change your ways and become more empathetic to those around you. This is something you should seriously consider before karma comes knocking on your door for payback.
15. Dream of A Dead Eagle
A dream about a dead eagle could mean that you are being pressurized to do something against your wishes. It is a direct assault on your freedoms. Your subconscious is telling you to ignore the external pressure and go your own way.
Alternatively, you might see a big turnaround in your current fortunes. If you are doing well, you can anticipate a few bumps in the road going forward. If you are doing badly, conversely, expect some good fortune in the not-to-distant future.
16. Dream Of An Eagle’s Nest
An eagle’s nest in your dream symbolizes an elevated position and a successful life. It also symbolizes the people who have stood by you in your quest to get to the top. This will include members of your family as well as friends.
Having already reached a high level of status, you are satisfied with life. You are also happy to share the rewards of your hard labor with those closest to you.
17. Dream About A Black Eagle
This is one of the worst of the 25 meanings when you dream of an eagle. The omens are not good because the dream predicts that someone close to you is going to die. It might be a close friend, but it could also be a relative. It is a horrible thought, and all you can do is hope that your subconscious is wrong on this one.
Alternatively, the dream could mean that there is someone in authority and a position of power who is going to make your life very difficult. This will come as a surprise and will cause a lot of headaches and unnecessary stress.
For the sake of your friends and relatives, let’s hope the second meaning is the one that applies!
18. Dream Of Eagle Eggs
You are at the start of something very promising. This could be either in your home life or at work. However, at present, things have not fully developed to the point of any measurable success. Things are currently very difficult, and your plans are vulnerable to failure.
Despite the rocky start, your venture has a good chance of being successful. It will still require a lot of time and work, but the rewards could be life-changing. Don’t be put off by the slow start, and continue with your plan.
19. Dream About Eagle Feathers
You are an easygoing person and have never had to work hard for things. Whatever you have wanted has come easily to you, and you are, therefore, poorly equipped to deal with situations when they go wrong. If things do go bad, you expect them to be quickly rectified, and usually, you are right.
Although your easy come and easy go attitude has worked well for you to this point, there are storm clouds on the horizon. Problems are on the way that you will not be able to breeze through, and you will be left not knowing how to fix them.
It is time to take things more seriously and be more thorough in your planning and preparation. Despite your current success, things will not always be so easy, and you cannot forever count on being lucky.
20. Dream of Flying On An Eagle’s Back
This means that you are about to embark on a new and exciting future. Many of the things and people you encounter will be totally unfamiliar. Consequently, you will struggle to adapt and will struggle to make sense of your new environment.
Although the learning curve will be steep, you will be up to the task. Before long, you will have made new friends, learned new skills, and a new way of living. The experience will leave you with far more confidence and with a much broader view of the world than you had previously.
21. Dream An Eagle Is Chasing You
The present is dominated by a series of financial problems that are threatening to sink you. Things are reaching a point where you spend most of your waking day wondering how to deal with them. Not surprisingly, the turmoil is causing a serious toll on your mental health.
This is a heavy burden for one person to carry, and you must consider sharing the load. Talk to a family member or someone close to you to talk over your current situation. They may not necessarily be able to help you, but a problem shared really is a problem halved.
22. An Eagle In Your House
This is one of the best 25 meanings when you dream of an eagle. It means that everything is finally falling into place for you. Your home life is going well, and this also applies to your work life. If you are married and trying for children, it can also signify that you can soon expect a baby in your life.
The future looks promising, and you should continue toward your long-term goals. Your friendships and family ties will also deepen and strengthen moving forward.
23. Dream Of An Eagle With An Owl
These are symbols of a very powerful and wise energy source. You will be lucky enough for someone to come into your life with these combined qualities. The person will be a force for good and will help you in unexpected ways to ultimately change your life for the better.
Be open to people and new ideas because this will be the source of some invaluable advice. Also, remain receptive to seemingly strange and new ways that you had previously not considered. This could well be the catalyst for a very exciting future.
24. Dream Of A Pet Eagle
This indicates that there is someone who sees you as a role model. They look up to you and also think of you first when they need advice. You are like an older brother to them. This person might be a younger friend or alternatively could be a less experienced work colleague.
You are clearly well respected, and that is a good thing. Use your influence wisely and try to do your best to guide them wherever you can. Also, remember that your would-be mentees are less knowledgeable so try not to be too impatient if and when they mess up.
25. Dream Of Eating An Eagle
This is a nice positive dream to round up the list.
It means that you achieve things in your life apparently much easier than others. However, this is down to a fiercely determined and positive mindset. When others are struggling in difficult times, you continue with unflinching strength, and you are not put off by the obstacles in your way.
This incredible tenacity has made you a winner. When your competitors have long since given up, you continue, undeterred and unabated.

I just realized bank files are designed wrong! Right now, keywords like router_rules, cc, and cc_links can be used within individual patches or at bank level (i.e. zero indent). Bank-level keywords are applied first, then keywords in individual patches. This works to create defaults for all patches, like sending volume and reverb CC’s to all … Read More | <urn:uuid:19a29c6f-b9c8-48b7-a6d3-f429fde03e7f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://geekfunklabs.com/tag/bank-files/ | 2023-09-28T17:35:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.856784 | 85 |
