THE SECRET OF B is a feature documentary chronicling the journey to find filmmaker Dave Chan's biological parents beginning in Hong Kong where he was born.
Dave only found out in his late 30s that he was adopted, and it was purely by accident! A woman he was dating wanted to take him to a fortune teller who needed to know his birth time. So he went looking for a birth certificate and stumbled upon his adoption papers!
He felt like the wind was knocked right out of him. And when he asked his dad, “When were you gonna tell me?,” his dad responded, “When you were older.“
So it turns out that everyone in his family knew – except for him. Even his mother took the secret to her grave when she passed away several years ago. He’s since discovered that his grandparents in Hong Kong met a woman who was willing to give up her child. And they told everyone in the family, all around the world, never to tell Dave, because they were afraid he would hate his parents and leave them.
That couldn’t be further from the truth.
He always loved his family. And after finding out about his adoption, that hasn’t changed. He was brought up in a loving home with cousins around the world who he will always view as his family. And for that reason, he’s forever grateful to them all.
So why are we making this documentary?
According to Dave: “Growing up as an only child helped me develop a very curious mind. But this is no longer mere curiosity. It’s as if there’s a cosmic pull for me to connect with my blood relatives. This is a huge step. But life is short. And we need to take these chances.”
What makes this project unique is that no one in Dave’s family knows who his birth parents really are. Those who were in contact with them in the past unfortunately have all passed away. This will make the search more challenging but also a lot more exciting! The Secret of B will have the feel of a mystery as we pull back the layers of this story one by one. We have no idea where this journey will take us. But isn’t that the best part of an adventure?
“Right after I made my discovery, I’d look in the mirror and ask, “Who am I?”
And that’s what we hope our film will finally answer! | <urn:uuid:9e9109ee-bb8c-4f7c-b2ad-218e1d85a8de> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://secretbmovie.com/ | 2023-09-28T18:53:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.99211 | 519 |
When it comes to Italian cuisine, Manchester has it down to a fine art. Not only are we home to the UK’s best pizzeria, but our thriving restauranteurs have absolutely nailed the likes of Sicilian cuisine, delicious pasta and summer-worthy antipasti that brings the flavours of the Amalfi coast to our beloved city. But there’s one dish that’s been often left behind. The lasagne.
A layered masterpiece made with our favourite carb (pasta), and usually filled with beef, white sauce and tomato sauce, the lasagne is an absolute classic, but it’s completely underappreciated, too. Until now, that is. Finally getting the limelight it deserves, Lazy Tony’s Lasagneria opened its doors earlier last year – and the place is a beautiful homage to the hearty Italian dish.
Described as Manchester’s first and only ‘slab shack’, the lasagneria joined Ancoat’s booming dining scene back in April 2021 – a neighbourhood of which has become a destination in itself over the last half a decade – before rapidly expanding and joining forces with Northern Quarter institution Foundation Coffee House for the summer, giving slab fans the chance to ‘dine in’ for the first time ever.
Made fresh daily, Lazy Tony’s serves a menu based around the classic lasagne, with the likes of the traditional ‘classic’ beef slab, a vegan slab, a shortrib variation and a chicken Alfredo creation gracing the menu. If that wasn’t all, guests can also gorge on fresh focaccia, mozzarella sticks and their ‘unofficially officially the best tiramisu in the world’ (if you have room in your tum!), as well as creamy taleggio mac & cheese, chicken parm, and beautifully crumbly chicken fingers.
Speaking of the genius idea to Secret Manchester, the team at Lazy Tony’s said of how the concept came about: “We just love lasagne! It’s always been a favourite and a dish that tends to be a little overlooked and underrepresented in Manchester. Plus I’ve always like the idea of playing around with different fillings.”
Lazy Tony’s can no longer be found at Foundation Coffee House, however, you can still takeaway at 23 Radium Street, M4 6AY Thursday and Fridays from 5pm-9pm and Saturday and Sunday from 12 noon til 9pm.

There’s going to be dancing in the streets at The Printworks next month as Manchester Soul Festival returns for its fourth year.
Following three successful years, during which more than £65,000 has been raised for The Christie, The Printworks will once again invite Soul and Motown bands, artists and DJs from across the North West to perform on August 26.
And it’s all for a great cause, this year organisers have set themselves the ambitious target of raising £35,000, which will take the total raised for the Withington based cancer treatment centre to £100,000.
Acts will be performing in a number of venues throughout The Printworks including Lazy Lizard, Bierkeller, Hard Rock Cafe, Yates and Tiger Tiger, bringing all the fun and nostalgia of Northern Soul music and dancing to the streets, while raising money for a charity close to a lot of people’s hearts.
The full line up is yet to be announced, but festival-goers can expect performances from bands including Stax of Soul and The Soul Temptations as well as soul DJ’s such as Dave Starr and Fay L Jones.
Main stage acts will perform on the Frank Byrne Stage, named in memory of the Manchester legend who worked tirelessly to get the festival started as a thank you to The Christie, who cared for him during his battled with cancer until his death in 2015.
Festival wristbands are available for a £5 donation via the event’s fundraising page.
And if you can’t wait until the 26th, organisers will also be hosting several mini soul events leading up to the festival, so keep an eye on The Printworks website for updates.

Electronic Call Handling Operations Ltd (ECHO) has been established by industry to provide the necessary platform to deliver a fully automated alarm call handling service to the police with the full support of the NPCC.
The purpose of this communication is to inform all registered ARCs that as of 1st April 2022 Avon and Somerset Constabulary is able to accept automatic Intruder Alarm System (IAS) and Hold-Up Alarm System (HUA) activation calls via ECHO. Furthermore, with effect from Friday 30th September 2022 Avon and Somerset Constabulary require all alarm signals from registered ARCs to be transmitted in this way.
From 30th September 2022 telephone calls to Avon and Somerset Constabulary requesting a response to IAS and HUA may result in a delay or may not be accepted, since alarm activations from registered ARCs are to be delivered electronically to police control rooms in accordance with Section 3.1.4 of the NPCC Requirements.
Where a formal automated transfer connection request from an ARC has been made to AVON AND SOMERSET CONSTABULARY via ECHO, the requesting ARC should continue notification by telephone until such time as the connection request has been authorised.
The NPCC Requirements – ‘Police Operational Advice and Security Industry Requirements for Response to Security Systems 2021’ (paragraph 3.1.4) – state all Intruder Alarm System (IAS) and Hold-Up Alarm (HUA) activations be electronically transmitted to police control rooms with effect from 1st April 2020, should the police force concerned be able to receive signals in this form; the date originally being set in 2016 by the NPCC Security Systems Working Group and Industry Liaison Committee.
The Operational Advice agreed in 2016 recognised the benefits to the alarm user, industry and police service of electronic transfer eliminating communication errors or delays and providing a quicker police response.
ARCs requiring assistance regarding their readiness to transmit via ECHO should contact their alarm monitoring software provider in the first instance.

We like to construct Hollywood friendly plots around a lot of the seminal moments in our collective history. For Civil Rights, we like to picture the integration of Little Rock High School, Rosa Parks’ courageous protest on a Montgomery bus or the March on Washington. For environmentalism, we talk about Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring or, maybe, the burning Cuyahoga River in Cleveland. (This vintage news footage of the 1969 fire calls it the fire that “sparked the environmental movement” without any apparent irony.) For automobile safety, we imagine Ralph Nader and the image of a 1972 crash test that shows the gas tank of the Ford Pinto exploding in a rear impact collision, engulfing both cars in flames.
But those memories are often way oversimplified. Little Rock and the Montgomery bus boycott were just two battles in a fight for civil rights that went back to the end of the Civil War. Likewise, the Cuyahoga fire in 1969 was just one of a string of similar fires on the same river, going back decades. By some accounts – it wasn’t even the worst of them. And the fight for better automobile safety, likewise, began long before Ralph Nader or the Pinto came onto the scene.
In other words, progress is slow and almost always incremental, rather than revolutionary.
And so it will be with the kinds of privacy and security issues we face today as a whole universe of new, intelligent and Internet connected technology invades our homes, workplaces, automobiles and clothing. At least that’s the opinion of uur guest for the latest Security Ledger Hangout: Paul Rosenzwieg, the founder of Red Branch Consulting and a former Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy in the Department of Homeland Security. Paul is a regular contributor to Lawfare – one of the best sources for thoughtful analysis of cyber-legal (my term) issues. He’s a Distinguished Visiting Fellow at the Homeland Security Studies and Analysis Institute and serves as a Professorial Lecturer in Law at George Washington University, a Senior Editor of the Journal of National Security Law & Policy, and a Visiting Fellow at The Heritage Foundation.
Paul is also a member of I Am The Cavalry, a group of security researchers and other experts who is pushing for more transparency around security and data integrity in everything from connected vehicles to critical infrastructure.

Gallery 75 DF Herbicide Dry Flowable Formulation Gallery specialty herbicide prevents the growth of 97 species of broadleaf weeds, including chickweed, clover, bittercress, oxalis and spurge, for up to eight months of control. It is labeled on 714 field-grown and 562 container-grown ornamentals as well as ground covers, non-bearing fruit and nut crops, non-bearing vineyards and non-cropland areas and cool- and warm-season turfgrasses. Gallery must be activated by at least 1/2 inch of rainfall or sprinkler water to set up a solid control area around weed seedlings. As the weed seeds germinate, Gallery disrupts and halts root and stem development of the weeds, so seedlings gradually die before they ever break the soil surface. Application rate: 0.66-1.33 lbs./acre (.25-.5 oz./1000 sq. ft.). Gallery should be applied prior to emergence of target weeds. A fall application of Gallery will prevent winter-, fall- and many of the spring-germinating weeds. In fact, in Northern states, one application may provide year round control of broadleaf weeds. Southern climates may need a second application. Active ingredient:75% Isoxaben More Information

Today, joining me is Jenna Moreci, who is known as a YouTube star with a subscriber base of over 200,000 watchers. She is the author of two books. Jenna has authored The Savior Series with The Savior’s Sister edition debuting in September.
While she writes full-time, she is also a full-time caregiver. Jenna isn’t able to fully devote her day to writing. If you are writing fiction, a good goal is to release one book per year.
“For me, focusing on the quality of the story really matters. One way I make sure that quality is focused on is that I have a lot of people read the book before it’s out. I have critique partners, which are solo writers, who critique everything from the story to the grammar. I have beta readers who like reading.” She enlists 20 beta readers from very diverse sexual, ethnic, and demographic backgrounds. From this list of people, she collects market data, looks for trends within her betas, trends that they like and dislike.
Jenna doesn’t sit around and wait for her beta readers to finish. While busy critiquing her work, she is busy working on her author platform, looking for cover artists and editors. Her time efficiency doesn’t elongate her publication date as these tasks are being done simultaneously with her beta testers.
She gives advice on which type of criticism is constructive “If someone gives you feedback that doesn’t stick right, sounds funny or doesn’t make sense, you have to discern that this may not be the best feedback to listen to.”
In addition to her writing, Jenna also has a YouTube channel. “In terms of reserving the creative energy, for me, that’s what I’m passionate about. That’s me being myself. It’s me expressing my personality.” Jenna explains how she manages scriptwriting for her videos without intruding on her book writing time.

During one of his talks, my mentor Bro. Bo Sanchez mentioned the 3 qualities of the most powerful dreams in the world. Let me echo Bro. Bo’s message that day.
Are you ready?
1. Massive Dream big dreams because our God is a Big God. Massive dreams attract more fun, more friends, and more funds. Why? Because people are excited! If you’re not struggling enough to reach your dreams, your dream is too small. Your dream has to be big enough that God has to be in the center.
2. Magnetic Dreams by nature are very attractive. Number one resource is your BRAIN. Your brain is phenomenal. Your brain becomes energized. According to Quantum Physics, everything is energy — the chair you’re sitting on, your body, the sky, your thoughts. This is why we’re all interconnected. Thoughts are things. When you dream, all of God’s creation will conspire to make that dream come true. You’ve got to believe that everything you need comes to you. You live in a friendly universe.
3. Measurable Your dreams should have details. You should know the WHAT, the HOW will follow.
Are you ready to make your BIG DREAMS come true?
Are you ready to make 2014 a year of life changing events that rocket you to new heights, NEVER to go back to the mundane again?

Caregiving is a special job. Although it can involve ordinary, everyday tasks, it also leads to extraordinary relationships.
“It’s about much more than cleaning seniors’ homes and taking them to appointments,” said caregiver Debbie Mortimer. “These amazing clients often just want you to sit and talk with them and take an interest in their past and present lives. They have so much to teach us — we just need to listen.”
This kind of bonding keeps Debbie committed to the job and looking forward to work every day. She cherishes the quality time she spends with clients and the friendships it fosters.
Caregiver Kelly Linedecker also finds herself growing close to her client and feeling like a friend. Right off the bat, they found common ground, bonding over the fact that they both served in the Navy and were stationed in Charleston, South Carolina. Kelly’s client also shared her love of birds, spirituality and family.
Kelly’s been caring for her client since she started at Senior Home Companions about two-and-a-half years ago, and she feels like a family member now.
“Her children are at peace knowing their mom is cared for,” Kelly said. “They told me they wouldn’t want to be on this journey of caring for her without me. They feel like my family.”
SHC prides itself on pairing clients with caregivers that match their personalities and fostering beautiful relationships like these.
“Our caregivers truly care and become emotionally invested” said Vice President Carrie Cash. “The friendships they make with their clients compel them to pour their hearts into this line of work. We’re grateful to have them, and we look forward to finding even more caregivers out there like them.”

As January approaches, you may be feeling hopeful for what may come or maybe you are just taking it day by day. However you are feeling is okay—we have all faced many compounding stressors brought on by the pandemic. Navigating the winter months ahead, after already banking many months of shelter-in-place, may seem daunting. Cooking is one way to get through. Time in the kitchen can be a great way to relieve stress and bring comfort. There can be excitement in trying new recipes and learning new ways to nourish yourself and loved ones with food.
The co-op offers more than locally produced goods by small-scale makers. We are also a great place to find ingredients from producers that treat their staff equitably and farm their fields sustainably. No matter the season, our Produce department is brimming with fruits and vegetable sourced from many Community Foods growers year round. Throughout the winter look for the Community Foods logo at the shelf to find produce favorites that not only supports your wellness but also folks who produce our food in alignment with cooperative values.
Check out the staff recommended seasonal produce from Community Foods growers below. | <urn:uuid:11cb5778-6346-4ef8-9be2-0f036d620130> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://seward.coop/cook-with-community-foods/ | 2023-09-28T18:05:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.97694 | 231 |
The following is an important poem from my upcoming novel Destroying Eden. It’s a prophecy. Who do you think wrote it?
The Fruit of All
Angel of Exile, cast out from the sun;
Caring Dominion, old Lord of the Land;
Orchard fruit bitter, iron on the tongue:
become Corruption; New Fall of New Man.
Race of new creatures with only one rule:
Rise again Man, no Original Sin,
taste not of Knowledge, a Garden of Fools.
Tempts not the Serpent the simple within.
Bastards the living, half-breeds their own race,
drink Adam’s Blood, curse upon Eden’s Lord.
Bring each together, each kingdom, one place
strange sense of Duty, a break from the war:
Truce proposed now, till the Point of the Fall,
Name her and feed to her The Fruit of All.
I’m still working on this novel, but you can read a full chapter of my work-in-progress! This chapter is especially fun for vampire lovers.

Round 100 Transcripts
[The show is transcribed with artificial intelligence. It’s not accurate, but a lot of it sure is funny!]
Jay: Elvis Presley died. Oh wait, no, I need to, no, no, I need to preface this, but, and say, if you’ve seen the movie Elvis alert, Elvis Presley dies
Shayne: a minute. Wait a minute.
Jay: oh no,
Shayne: Wait a minute. Elvis
Jay: but you know, he. Well, he died in 19. He died in 1977.
Shayne: what is this movie even about?
Tim: Oh, I just watched old rerun. Elvis’s alive in south, somewhere
Shayne: with Leonard? Is that Leonard that’s Leonard Nemo, right.
Jay: I love Leonard. Nemoy
Tim: in search of yes. Yes.
Jay: Literal need. Okay. Okay. Next thing you’re gonna tell me is Clark. Ken is Superman. If you tell me that we’re done,
Shayne: you know what, Jay, wait until the ending and find out.
Jay: that’s a good point.
Jay: this apparently somebody had the right answer. So this particular round, speaking of things that you should know that you don’t or things that you should know so quickly that you might, what is the statute of limitations on spoilers
Shayne: And I’m gonna read, I’m gonna read from the book of Lamentations.
Jay: Hmm. Yes. Chapter one, Jackson, five.
Shayne: Tim, do you know any verses from the book of Lamentations?
Tim: And the people did and antelope cereal, Jay, didn’t get it.
Shayne: good. I love the money by the references.
Shayne: who should go first? Should we get Tim’s boring, but good.
Shayne: Tim will have a nice, well thought out. Factual opinion,
Jay: no, actually I think, uh, I. I
Jay: I think basically basically what we’re discussing here, uh, before we start off, uh, uh, each having our opinion is how soon is too soon to, to, to, um, mention something that happens in a movie that may or may not spoil it for somebody who has not seen that movie.
Tim: Three weeks. Okay. Next round.
Shayne: three weeks. How long has love and thunder been?
Jay: A week.
Shayne: Okay. As of today when we’re recording on Bastille day, I, I also think it depends on the context. If you are publishing something kinda like what we are doing at this, a podcast, a show, I think that maybe a week, maybe two is enough. As long as you’re prefacing by saying this is gonna have spoilers in it. If it’s just your friends or your friends at work or something like that, then however long it takes, if they don’t see it for a month, then you know,
Jay: can’t say anything
Shayne: chances are someone else is gonna spoil it for them.
But go ahead and be that good person. And, and don’t spoil it for your friends.
Tim: I honestly think you guys don’t have anything to worry about. There’s only three people that listen to this ridiculous.
Shayne: Spoiler alert.
Jay: spoiler you’re one of.
Shayne: yeah. So, so wait, if Tim’s on, if we have Brian and Tim on the show, that means that Kiki’s the only one listening.
Jay: Well, we need to have all three of them and then, then nobody will be listening.
Shayne: we should do that. We should do it for our 200th episode or Christmas. Whichever comes first.
Jay: There we go. So I would like to voice my opinion on spoilers and here’s what I’m gonna say. I agree with Shayne, if somebody has not seen a movie, a TV show, whatever that could ruin it for them or give them too much information about that. Particular thing, then it should be as long as it takes, if they haven’t seen it and they don’t want to know, then you stop right there.
And for God’s sake, don’t say, okay, I won’t tell you anything. That’s gonna ruin it for you. But I do want to tell you this one thing. because if you’re some there’s no need, when they say I haven’t seen it, don’t tell me about it. That’s where it should stop. And, and, uh, if you’re like me, unfortunately I have this, I have this terrible gift of being able to figure out a movie based upon a very small. Spoiler. I can tell you, you tell me anything you give, tell me anything about the movie. I’m gonna figure out the entire movie. It’s a curse. And, um, I don’t know what, I,
Shayne: it takes work to avoid spoilers,
Shayne: on any type of social media, you have to, you have to just avoid everything. You have to avoid Twitter, Facebook, even Google YouTube, because there will be some idiot out there that doesn’t preface it or they get all giggly because , I spoiled it for everybody.
Jay: That’s what I hate is like, you see that like yeah, you see online, you’ll see in the, the subject or the heading will instantly spoil it for you. Even though it’s saying it’s, let’s talk about that big surprise ending, or let’s talk about that huge cameo.
Shayne: shouldn’t even
say that. I
Jay: what’s that
Shayne: mean, you shouldn’t even say that there is a surprise, whether or not there’s a surprise ending or whether or
not there’s a cameo.
Jay: Exactly. Yeah. If you’re gonna really, if you’re gonna really, uh, if you really wanna throw someone off the scent, give them a, a bad spoiler. Like nothing about the movie whatsoever as the great.
Shayne: Don’t say anything say liked it didn’t like it. Like, I didn’t even tell, I have a friend at work who hasn’t seen Thor love and thunder yet. And I, I haven’t even said, I thought the beginning was a little rush. All I’ve said was you should see it when you see it. We’ll talk about it.
Jay: Yeah. I think you say it best when
Shayne: Who bringing it back to the Bangals angles.
Jay: you say nothing at all. uh, Keith Whitley actually.
Shayne: Okay. Okay.
Tim: See then there’s people like me that don’t care about you or your feelings. And I have seen it. And I wanna talk about it and I’m just gonna talk anyways. Hey, guess what? Everybody’s got streaming services. Everybody can go to the movies is dead.
Jay: wouldn’t go that far.
Shayne: Spoil alert. C’s back
Jay: The, the, at least the killer strain of it is for, for the time being,
Shayne: now. It’s just a getting out of work strain.
Jay: I was
Shayne: oh, I think you have COVID. Oh, stay home, then stay home.
Jay: but, but you, but you work from home? Yes. Oh shit.
Shayne: right. Dammit. It’s phone. COVID.
Jay: Yeah. I’ve got phone. So much fun. Hey, you know what? Let’s do a toast.
Shayne: Jim go?
Jay: I, I think you disappeared.
Let’s we’re gonna
Shayne: that it’s gotten
Jay: We’re gonna do a toast. We’re gonna do a toast. And then we’re gonna ask Tim his opinion on whatever it is that, uh, we’re not listening to what.
Shayne: toast for the splitter
Jay: Tim’s gonna express his opinion on spoilers, which I think he already did, but he’s going to expound upon that. Something about being selfish and not caring about anybody else, but anyway, Shayne, do you have an appropriate toast for this spoiler talk,
Jay: bring it
Shayne: What was the question?
Shayne: is a
Shayne: This is a quote by the person who said this. When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading.
Jay: oh, that’s good. Cheers. By the way, I’m drinking L Hefe L very
Shayne: hip steel.
Jay: Where’s that from? That was a good one.
Shayne: Seal level. Um, my dad sent a bunch of them in an email, so I had access. Here’s a tell me. Okay. Before we get to, before we get to the end, the big finale, as it were, tell me what you think about this spoiler alert. This goes back to maybe last year before first season or second season of the Mandalore.
And one of not long after the episode where it’s revealed, one of my friends posted something about baby Yoda’s name is grok and another friend got really mad. Another friend got really mad about spoiling it. At what point did you think its name was actually baby Yoda? I. I kind of thought it was obvious the entire time that its name wasn’t baby Yoda.
It probably didn’t even know who Yoda was.
Jay: Here’s the deal. It’s like, don’t, don’t talk about anything to do with it whatsoever. But if you do something like that, revealing the name of the baby Yoda, which we all know is not really baby Yoda, that seems very minor and not spoilerish
Jay: the character in his name has something to do.
Tim: hang on and well, hang on a second. Was he, or this person informed what the baby. Yo’s name was
Shayne: Yep. The
Tim: okay. Well maybe that’s what
Tim: so right. This, no,
Jay: and hear it from himself. Okay.
Shayne: so Tim, did you crawl into the beer? Can or
Tim: I, I, I took, I took an earbud out and I was holding it.
Shayne: Yeah. I don’t know. You know what, when we’re famous, we’re gonna buy some
Jay: is Tim making the first step
Shayne: Now Tim was the first step for man, or was the first step for mankind also. now, if it was Darth Yoda, I could see, oh wow. Now that’s a spoiler, but yeah. So, okay. So it is best to just not say. Because you don’t
Jay: I think it,
Shayne: be relative. What, what might be important to someone might
be less important to someone else?
Jay: I also think it’s a good thing to say is like, Hey, do you watch, do you watch better call Saul? Yes. Have you seen the latest episode? No. Okay. Let me know when you’ve seen it. Cause I wanna talk about it.
Shayne: Yeah. What’s better call Saul.
Tim: Yeah. I mean, that’s only common courtesy.
Tim: I think it’s ridiculous that we have to waste time rounds. Yes. I, to
Shayne: thank you for cussing by the way.
Tim: throw ass out there.
Jay: you know what, Tim. What um, Tim, you just brought up a good point, which was a, uh, you had an idea for a round to discuss and, um, the fact that people would even have. To bring up this sort of topic, or we would have to bring up this topic on when it, when is okay to spoil something.
When somebody says, like you say, I haven’t seen it, don’t tell me about it. It should end there, but we live in a world now that’s full of dumb people. I mean,
Jay: feels like, it feels like people are getting dumber. And stupider
Shayne: have we done around on we’ve done around on people are
Jay: we have, but we haven’t done with one with Tim and I, I would love to hear Tim and you know what? I have a great idea. I have a great idea here. Spoiler alert. Next week’s round could be about.
Shayne: mm. Four love and thunder
Jay: The word love and thunder
Shayne: or maybe it was last week’s round.
Jay: or maybe it was, I
Shayne: You don’t
You don’t know so
Jay: I do know this. I think, uh, I think I started the engine it’s time for someone to, uh, press the metal to the GLE Ketle
Shayne: I’m pretty sure Jay is referring to the little engine that could, and I think that like that engine, you can, subscribe to Beer Thursday so that you get every single round every single morning, when Thursday says, hello, you get the round. In your ears magically, you, you can go to our Patreon page and donate as little as $5 a month, as much as $50 a month or more.

Jay: Hey man, come on Tim. We’re trying not to have to work for a living here.
Shayne: We’re doing our best. We can’t all be. We can’t all have your jobs in
Jay: we can’t all be self contained millionaires. Like you
Shayne: yeah. Billionaire,
Tim: that would make my life so much easier.

Wednesday. This morning I was talking to Paula about coffee and she was very surprised to learn that some people would put alcohol into coffee. But then, it turns out, that she regularly drinks Irish coffee which is, of course, coffee with Irish whiskey in it. So she is actually one of the people who drinks alcohol in coffee regularly.
My morning was very busy, so busy that I did not get a chance to have lunch until four in the afternoon. And then it was just a can of black olives.

Competency & Training Simplified
The Ultimate Training Solution.
Fully Compliant with ISO Standards
Our software tool is fully compliant with ISO standards, processes and shared objectives.
Mobile and Browser
Our tool is mobile-responsive and works on any device -meaning you can check on your employees training progress at any time, from any place.
Real-Time Visibility Of All Training Records
You can immediately check information on all training activities, in a matter of seconds. No time delay, no excel sheets, no filing cabinets needed.
The SHEQ Competency and Training Module is the simplest, most efficient way to train your workforce in accordance with ISO Standards.
Training Matrix Gives A Simple Heads-Up View Of Progress
As you can see on the left, our system follows a simple, shape and colour based system within the dashboard so you can see in seconds exactly what an employees status is for a certain course/module.
You can also see, immediately, when the training date was, course due date was, as well as the validity period. No need to go combing through excel sheets, it’s all just there, ready to use.
Versatility Charts Make Evaluation Simple
Versatility charts mean you can very simply evaluate an employees level of competence, and see in seconds which employees are going to require extra training, and in what areas.
This makes flagging the training needed for employees moving across departments extremely straightforward, and it means you will never be caught in a situation where an employee is doing a job for which he is not competent.
Still not quite sure? Here are some of the immediate benefits (our system has an immediate ROI).
Built-in Security and Traceability
Using the SHEQ system makes it extremely unlikely for training records to get lost, or for an untrained employee to find himself in a situation he isn't prepared for. Because we maintain all records in one system, it's also incredibly easy to trace back exactly who has been trained, what have they been trained in, and when they were trained.
Paperless Solution and Easy-To-Use UI
No more filing cabinets, no more excel spreadsheets - our systems simple visual interface makes keeping on top of training and competence easy. You can view visual training status indicators, set up individual training plans, and individual competency levels in seconds. | <urn:uuid:559bd436-dde8-4cd7-a31e-0d291e0c44fc> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://sheqnetwork.com/training-competence/ | 2023-09-28T17:39:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.939023 | 489 |

Important Things to Remember When Playing Poker
Poker is a game of chance and risk, but the outcome of a hand also depends on the decisions that are made by each player. This makes it a very complex game that requires many different cognitive skills, such as working memory, attention, analysis, and self-control. In order to become a better poker player, it is important to focus on improving these skills and avoiding common mistakes.
One of the most important things to remember when playing poker is to play the game as a team. It is easy to make mistakes if you are trying to make decisions on your own. Make sure you discuss your options with the other players at the table before making a decision. This will help you avoid making a mistake that could cost you money.
Another important thing to keep in mind when playing poker is to be aware of your opponents’ actions and body language. Pay attention to the way your opponent plays and analyze their betting patterns. This will give you a good idea of what type of hands they are holding.
Poker involves a lot of quick math, and the more you play, the quicker your mental calculation will get. This is because your brain is building and strengthening neural pathways every time you process information in this complicated game. These pathways are covered in myelin, a special protein that helps your brain function at its best. The more myelin your brain has, the faster and more efficiently it can work.
If you are a new player, it is also important to practice your patience and to play only with money that you can afford to lose. This will prevent you from getting frustrated if you happen to lose a few hands in a row. You should also try to find a table with the weakest players in order to maximize your winnings.
The most important thing to remember when playing poker is that you should never let your ego interfere with your decisions. You should always be looking for ways to improve your own skills and not be jealous of other players’ success. Keeping this in mind will help you learn how to be more successful at poker and in other aspects of your life.
Poker is a game that is enjoyed all over the world. It is a fun and social game that can be played both online and in person. It is an excellent way to develop critical thinking and communication skills while having fun with friends. The game has also helped many people overcome addictions, depression, and anxiety. It has even been shown to delay the onset of degenerative brain diseases like Alzheimer’s and dementia. This is because the constant mental activity of poker helps to strengthen the neural pathways in your brain and develop myelin. This is why it is important to play poker regularly. | <urn:uuid:840ee5a2-ef8c-4996-a080-93d3dfa31148> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://shopmangalitsa.com/important-things-to-remember-when-playing-poker/ | 2023-09-28T18:23:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.971237 | 552 |

Join Shreveport Opera as we conclude our 75th Season with Mozart's version of "The Bachelor".
Così fan tutte means “so do they all,” with tutte (all) in the feminine. What is it that they all do? Don Alfonso, the cynical baritone who organizes the practical joke that forms the plot of the opera, thinks he knows what all women do: they are fickle. To prove his point, he persuades the heroes of the opera, Ferrando and Guglielmo, to leave their fiancées, return in disguise, and steal the hearts of Dorabella and Fiordiligi away from the men they are engaged to marry. But will they be true to their fiancées or will they be wooed away by the handsome “strangers”?

Why did she treat me so bad? How can she move on to the next guy so quickly? What does he have that I don’t have? What if I’d only done this instead of that ? What if I’d said x instead of y? Did she ever really love me? She says she’s never been as happy as she is with the new guy. Why couldn’t she be happy with me?
Being in love with an abusive, high-conflict narcissist, histrionic, borderline or psychopath (regardless of gender) can do a number on you. Whether you were together 5 months or 25 years — it doesn’t matter. An abusive partner can undermine your confidence, destroy your self-esteem, destroy your career, damage your other relationships and cause a host of other detrimental physical and emotional problems. Neither Crazy nor abuse are gender issues. Recognizing these issues and providing support to those in need is a societal gender issue, unfortunately. In other words, as a collective we do a poor job of recognizing and supporting the very real issues of men in relationships with abusive partners.
Many men and women are unable to move on after ending a relationship with a toxic partner. They ruminate, obsess and replay the relationship over and over again in their minds, trying to make sense of what happened and what they could’ve done differently to live “happily ever after.”
If this is where you’re stuck, please understand there is no happily ever after with these individuals. Your happily ever after is getting away and staying away from them, understanding what attracted you to them, why you tolerated it for so long, healing, getting yourself and your life back and moving forward without looking back.
Whether you realize it or not, if your abusive ex has cut you loose and moved onto their next target/unsuspecting victim, they’ve done you a huge favor. She will not be different with the next guy. He will not be different with the next gal. These individuals continue to repeat the same relationship patterns until they drop dead.
Consider your own experiences. If you’re a trauma bonding codependent, you’ve likely repeated relationship patterns, too. How many selfish, self-absorbed, emotionally immature, emotional reasoning, exploitative, one-sided relationships have you been in with partners who ultimately don’t care about you, your wants, needs and feelings? If the answer is more than one, you have a type. And your type isn’t healthy for you.
Men and women who follow Shrink4Men frequently remark upon how similar to their experiences the behaviors and qualities described in the articles and videos are. Do you have a camera in my house? It’s like you’ve written the story of my relationship! To me, these similarities are most likely indicative that there may be a personality disorder at play, because the similarities are so striking and uncanny.
It also means that the crazy and abusive behaviors you’ve experienced aren’t personal.
It wasn’t you. You didn’t make her crazy. You didn’t make him be abusive. You’re not cause of their issues. You can’t fix her or love him to health and wellness. Love does not conquer all and it certainly isn’t the cure for narcissistic, sociopathic, histrionic and borderline behaviors and disorders.
I repeat, the abuse wasn’t personal. You were just an object. A prop in the scripted reality psychodrama this kind of person has going on in their head, in which she’s the long suffering victim/heroine and you’re the piece of garbage, loser-villain. She is engaging in repetition compulsion. If you have a pattern of getting involved with Crazy, you’re probably engaging some combination of repetition compulsion, codependency, trauma bonding, seeking secondary gains and avoiding secondary losses.
If you’re still having trouble understanding and accepting that your partner or ex isn’t going to magically transform and be wonderful with the next guy, hopefully, the following simile will help. Think of your wife/husband, girlfriend/boyfriend or ex as a Broadway play — Crazy Bitch (or Dick) the Musical! Perhaps this comparison is puzzling to you. What does my ex have in common with a play?
Some shows have been running on Broadway for decades. For example, West Side Story has been in and out of production since its premiere in 1957. The actress who played Maria in West Side Story 50 + years ago isn’t the same actress on stage today.
Even though the actors have changed, the story and the story’s ending haven’t. The voices are different. The delivery is different, but it’s the same song and dance every performance and the same ending; Tony dies and Maria cries.
Relationships with abusers are similar in this respect. Think of your abusive ex or current partner as Crazy Bitch the Musical! or The Ice Queen Cometh or The Drama King or Entitled! or I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change! You’re just another hopeful up-and-comer cast in the role of hero/rescuer/knight in shining armor/undeserving villain/screw-up/loser to her victim/waif/queen/I’m too good for you and you don’t deserve me/”fiercely independent” diva. You get to have your turn on the boards and so will the next guy and the next guy and the next guy, but it’s essentially the same damned script over and over again.
If your wife, girlfriend or ex was a Broadway play, it might go a little something like this:
Congratulations! You’ve been chosen to play the romantic male lead, Tom Dickenharry, to the female heroine, Mimi* Furst, in the stage production, Crazy Bitch the Musical!
Act One. Mimi Furst is the beautiful, fragile damsel in distress. Her dad was abusive. All her boyfriends and husbands were abusive, but Tom Dickenharry is different. He’s special.
No one has ever been so kind to Mimi. No one has ever treated her so well. She’s never felt such a strong connection to a man before. She never went to bed so quickly with a man before (wink, wink, nudge, nudge). Tom is her true soul mate (as opposed to the 7 other soul mates she dated before him). Tom will show Mimi that not all men are jerks and he will treat her with such love and tenderness that she will learn to trust and love again. Ah, the love bombing . . .
Mimi and Tom embrace sharing a passionate kiss as the stage lights dim and the curtains close.
End Act One.
Act Two. Mimi Furst and Tom Dickenharry get married after a 6-month whirlwind courtship. They welcome their first child into the world 8 months later, Goldie Furst-Dickenharry of the Golden Uterus matriarchal line.
Alas, Mimi’s love soon turns into contempt. Nothing Tom does is right. He works too much, but doesn’t earn enough money to support Mimi’s spending. Mimi refuses to get a job to help with the finances even though Goldie is enrolled in school full-time. Mimi reminds Tom he promised to take care of her and protect her from having to deal with reality and adult responsibilities.
In a futile effort to win back Mimi’s love and adoration, Tom buys a house he can’t afford. He buys her a blinged out SUV even though they live in Miami where it doesn’t snow and Mimi only travels 1.6 miles to Goldie’s school and Zumba. Tom works longer hours and takes care of Goldie when he comes home at night and the household chores because he has no idea how hard it is being a stay at home mom with a nanny!
Mimi claims Tom doesn’t love her and accuses him of having affairs when he gets caught in traffic and arrives home 10 minutes late from work. The harder Tom tries to make Mimi happy and prove his love, the more unappreciative and cruel Mimi becomes.
End Act Two.
Act Three. While Tom is fixing Mimi’s computer, a message alert pops up. Tom recognizes the name. His heart sinks. Mimi’s been communicating with ex-soul mate and abusive jerk #1, Joey Suckah, on Facebook Messenger. Tom reads messages from Mimi to Joey in which she describes Tom as abusive, cruel, lousy in bed, uncaring, cheap, and a terrible father. Mimi writes that she never stopped loving Joey Suckah and that it is his touch and his touch alone that makes her feel alive and if only there was a way for them to be together.
Heartbroken, sad and angry, Tom confronts Mimi about her affair with Joey. Instead of responding with remorse and contrition, Mimi erupts. She lashes out at Tom.
Who does he think he is?! How DARE he read her private emails?! Mimi accuses Tom of being a paranoid, disgusting, perverted creep who has trust issues. How DARE Tom violate her privacy!? It’s Tom’s fault Mimi had to turn to another man. Mimi screams that she’ll never be able to trust Tom again for discovering her affair.
Tom reminds Mimi of all the horrible things she told him about Joey Suckah when they first met and fell in love. Mimi snarls in rage that she never said any such thing about Joey. Tom is making it all up! She exclaims Joey is a real man and if Tom doesn’t watch his mouth, she will take HER daughter, leave him and he’ll never see Goldie again.
Tom begs. Tom pleads. Tom apologizes to Mimi for being angry about her affair. He promises to work harder to give Mimi “the life she deserves.” He promises he’ll go to therapy to fix his trust issues. He promises her the world, if only they can go back to the way things were. Mimi smirks and says nothing.
Three days later, Tom arrives home from work to find a police car in his driveway. The officers tell him he’s to collect his personal belongings and that he needs to find another place to stay. You see, while Tom was at work earning money to provide for Mimi and Goldie, Mimi went to the courthouse and obtained an ex parte restraining order because she’s “afraid” of him — even though Tom’s never been violent toward Mimi nor has he ever threatened violence. The police tell Tom he can’t be anywhere near Mimi or Goldie and recommend that he get an attorney. Dim lights on Tom and police.
Stage lights on Mimi and Joey Suckah sharing a romantic dinner. Mimi tells Joey that her dad abused her. All of her boyfriends and husbands abused her, but Joey Suckah, aka the recycled new Tom Dickenharry, is different. He’s special.
Wash. Rinse. Repeat. The End.
Mimi may not marry and/or divorce the new Tom Dickenharry, but the same narrative will play out again and again. There are different variations to this tale depending upon the individuals, but it is a narrative or script. This kind of individual casts you into a role that has nothing to do with who you are in reality. You will be devalued and force fit into the role of villain after the love bombing or idealization stage ends. It’s only a matter of time.
The only way this script changes is if “Mimi” becomes involved with another abuser. Then she really will be victimized instead of play acting the role of victim. Did your rescuer impulses just switch on while reading the previous sentence? If so, put your noble steed back in its stall and lower your lance.
There’s nothing a professional victim loves more than being victimized. Don’t try to rescue a professional victim (whether they’re female or male) from an actual abuser.
Instead, stay clear of them while they cannibalize each other and get on with your life. If you share a child, gather evidence to show the court that the mother/father is endangering the child by exposing them to an abusive environment. But whatever you do, don’t get in between the two loons and their “love.”
* Thank you to whenthescapegoatquits for the double entendre, “Mimi” (me me), the perfect name for a female narcissist.

Seven Ways to Support Your Small Businesses During COVID-19
We’re still operating under the threat of the COVID-19 pandemic, and our state and most in the U.S. are limiting in-business actions to critical infrastructure and essential work. This has been devastating economically for some of our close friends, colleagues, and clients.
While we’re still able to provide some of our regular services (more on those specifics in an upcoming post), we also wanted to highlight some of the ways that all of us can support our fellow small business owners here in the DFW area. Read on for seven things that you can do today to help!
- Buy Goods and Services from Small Businesses Online
Whether it’s purchasing gifts for a birthday, or a gift card to be used on your now-long-overdue haircut, make sure you are keeping up with your favorite local merchants online and making purchases from them where you can. Some may have just made the decision to close down completely, while others may still be offering curbside or delivery options.
- Support Worthy Nonprofits and Local Businesses
If your business is still able to function, are you able to contribute profits to a cause such as a local food bank? If your business is not currently using your office space, consider utilizing part of it for a pick-up spot for donations, or see if you can use company trucks as vehicles for businesses who needed to quickly adapt to delivering to customers. Think of those things for your business that are not currently being used, and ask if someone else can benefit from them.
- Submit Reviews on Facebook or Google
Love a local business? If there was ever a time to share your feelings, now would be it! Highly reviewed businesses show up more frequently in search algorithms, making it easier for these businesses to be seen by future customers. Plus, it just makes a small business owner’s day to know they’re loved!
- Drive Traffic to Other Small Businesses on Social Media
You could sponsor a giveaway on your Facebook page to win a gift card to another local business (such as a restaurant). This would benefit your social engagement, and also encourage customers to try out another small business. Make sure you tag the other business in your post and also encourage your fans to patronize them in the future!
- Offer Discounts to Covid-19 First Responders
Can you provide a special offer or thank-you gift to your local medical staff, delivery drivers, and grocery store clerks who are working to keep us all home and safe during this critical time? If any of these sectors are particularly important to your business, make sure to align your discount to them accordingly. Don’t forget to advertise your discount with some outdoor signs!
- Host a Digital Event
When you’re not able to network in the business community in-person, digital events can help bridge the divide. Invite local business owners who you’re connected with and come armed with a list of relevant topics to all of your businesses. Host the event via a Facebook Live event, or use Eventbrite to coordinate invites and ticket sales.
- Buy Takeout or Delivery Food From Local Restaurants
Without dine-in service, bars and restaurants are definitely among the hardest-hit industries from this pandemic. Even if your own funds are limited, even one takeout pizza/week can help your local pizzeria stay afloat just a little bit longer! You’re also providing needed income to delivery drivers when you use a service like Grubhub or UberEats to bring your food safely to your home.
As a reaction to the pandemic, communicating your operation’s changes to your customers can quickly become overwhelming for a business owner. We’re here for you. No matter your challenges during this uncertain time caused by the coronavirus, Signsmiths of Texas is here to support you.

Marie DeCandido, also known to many as Mary, passed peacefully on August 22nd surrounded by her loving family.
Born in the Bronx to Angelina and Vincenzo Turiello on January 21, 1927, she was predeceased by her parents and three older sisters, Martha, Antoinette, and Rose.
In 1951, Marie married Philip DeCandido at Mt. Carmel Church in the Bronx. In 1973, the family moved to Yonkers, NY. Together they shared their lives until her beloved husband passed in 1979. Through the years they created a beautiful, loving, close-knit family. Marie is survived by her 4 children – sons, Philip (Maria), Joseph (Donna), Richard (Donna Marie) and daughter Diane, her loving 7 grandchildren, Lori (Mike), Dawn (Anthony), Philip (Tara), Joseph (Renee), Anthony (Lauren), Kristen (Frank) and Alexa; as well as her precious 16 great-grandchildren, Brennan, Brooke, A.J., Andrew, Philip, Serena, Grant, Christian, Natalie, Vera, Blake, Leonardo, Clara, Lucia, Sage, and Ivy.
Before raising her family, Marie worked as a receptionist and switchboard operator but the roles she was most proud of in her lifetime were that of wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend. She will be best remembered for her loving and kind ways, her wit, and being an amazing cook and baker. Her family was her pride and joy.

Some marine organisms have developed strategies for defense, and others have developed strategies for attack; this is an example of coevolution in the struggle for survival of the fittest. An example of a defensive strategy can be seen in the barnacle larvae (nauplii) with plates of chitin that weave into a hard shell. An animal with an attacking strategy includes the polychaete worm, some of which have extending jaws hardened with a copper containing biomineral and is able to actively swim and search for prey. Polychaetes generally prey on benthic invertebrates though certain species prey on one another. Nauplii prey on microscopic organisms like copepods or other zooplankton as well as some phytoplankton. | <urn:uuid:45c93717-2fae-4d68-b4bc-e156f0a9bdb9> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://sites.evergreen.edu/vms-spring/category/ecological_interactions_biodiversity/armored-vs-armed/ | 2023-09-28T17:55:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.938069 | 156 |

Transforming your outdoor space into a perfect summer garden is easier than you think. By adding antique outdoor furniture, you can add a touch of vintage glamor to your space. In this blog, we will explore the timeless appeal of antique garden furniture, inspire you with different styles and materials, and provide tips on creating a picturesque outdoor haven.
Antique outdoor furniture has a magnetic allure that never goes out of style. Its charm and sophistication bring a unique character to your outdoor spaces. Each piece carries a sense of history and craftsmanship that is hard to replicate in modern furniture.
If you desire a cozy and nostalgic atmosphere, rustic antique outdoor furniture with a weathered patina is an excellent choice. Materials like wrought iron, reclaimed wood, and stone capture the essence of the past. The rustic appeal adds depth and character to your outdoor space, making it feel like a serene retreat.
Transport your outdoor area to a bygone era with Victorian-style antique garden furniture. Intricate details, ornate patterns, and curvaceous silhouettes define this style. Cast iron, wicker, and wrought iron are commonly used materials. Victorian furniture effortlessly adds a touch of elegance and grandeur to any garden or patio.
Consider adding cast iron bistro sets with ornate floral patterns, wicker rocking chairs with intricate weaving details, or white iron panels to bring your area to life.
For a romantic and refined atmosphere, consider French Provincial antique outdoor furniture. Delicate curves, graceful lines, and intricate detailing evoke a sense of charm. Wrought iron, cast aluminum, and wood are often used in creating French-inspired pieces. With their timeless beauty, they can transform your outdoor space into a picturesque haven.
Wrought iron café chairs with elegant curves, french side tables, cast aluminum dining sets featuring intricate lattice patterns, or wood garden benches with carved floral motifs are great additions to your outdoor space. You can find a variety of pieces in our garden collection online or in-store.
To truly enhance the charm and ambiance of your outdoor space, it's essential to accessorize with antique elements that complement your antique garden furniture. By incorporating carefully chosen accessories, you can create a cohesive and captivating atmosphere. Here are some ideas to inspire you:
Consider adding vintage metal buckets or wooden crates as planters. You can also look for items such as vintage garden sculptures, antique bird baths, or whimsical garden gnomes to decorate your garden area with.
Pay homage to the past by displaying vintage garden tools as decorative elements. Hang antique rakes, shovels, and watering cans on a wall, or use them as sculptural accents within your garden beds.
Decorating your outdoor space with antique garden furniture can elevate it into a great summer retreat. Whether you prefer rustic, Victorian, or French Provincial styles, antique pieces bring an air of elegance and character to your space.
With the right accessories, greenery, and cozy seating areas, you can transform your outdoor space into a picturesque haven that combines vintage allure with modern comfort. Shop our antique collection and create an outdoor retreat that will be the best escape for you this summer. | <urn:uuid:b8c75323-0d07-4ca0-b9c2-1aac0cff08cf> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://skicountryantiques.com/blogs/news/the-perfect-summer-garden-decorating-with-antique-outdoor-furniture | 2023-09-28T17:14:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.895986 | 658 |

Since John Hennigan is going to face Willie Mack as he defends his National Openweight Championship, he and the rest of Azteca Lucha, Valkyrie and Adonis, are backstage addressing the public.
They’ve been called many names like angels, devils, but never losers. So, Adonis asks them for a favor given Mance Warner took him out at Battle Riot, now Sam wants payback.
Warner isn’t the only one who receives a warning. Valkyrie mocks Delmi Exo for even trying to get in the same ring as the Featherweight Champion. Fantasies are too strong sometimes.
And would you look at that. Delmi’s match is coming up.
B3cca vs. Delmi Exo
Right out of the gate, B3cca drop kicks Exo into the corner then proceeds to disturb her opponent’s abdomen for good measure.
Delmi hasn’t been able to lay a hand on B3cca, but while her challenger is too busy basking in her small accomplishment, Delmi finally delivers a few punches to the orangehead.
Exo almost takes B3cca out with a Fisherman Buster, but it was only a two count. B3cca comes back from that mishap with a springboard neck breaker.
B3cca is actually brutal as she manages to release herself from Delmi’s grip, kick her in the face… yet misses wildly with the Moonsault. Ha!
Delmi retaliates with a Delmi Driver to B3cca for a victory. Don’t forget, people, next week Exo with be facing Valkyrie for the big prize.
Winner: Delmi Exo
I already mentioned how Lio Rush doesn’t care for crumbs, he wants gold after stealing Lince Dorado’s Championship belt a few weeks ago. Guess who else wants his shot? None other than Akira from The Calling also known as the Death Fighter. Eee. This will be something.
Dorado, Rush and Akira battle it out next week. Excited?
An interview with The Mane Event has them trailing back to when they first started. With House of Glory and The Amazing Red. When they first debuted it was against the World Tag Team Champions, Lance Anoa’i and Juicy Finau.
Yoscifer El vs. 1 Called Manders
The moment I saw Yoscifer in the ring, making grimaces to the camera with his black tongue, I questioned if I accidently entered any House of Horrors universe. Ha!
Both men temporarily enter a chopping contest until Manders goes after Yoscifer like there’s a sale at Sears.
Manders goes for an elbow drop, Yoscifer dodges causing his opponent to plummet against the mat. He still tries to fight back regardless of that little misstep. Manders gains a victory with a massive clothesline to Yoscifer’s throat. Ouch. Ha!
Winner: 1 Called Manders
Number one in the Battle Riot. A set up. The National Championship. Stolen. The Opera Cup. A conspiracy. Alex Kane really believes he’s been done dirty by the staff at MLW. Opportunity after opportunities continue to allude him like sinners at church.
Because he’s determined, to put it lightly, he’s coming in full throttle. A revolution or anarchy? You choose. These are seen as games to Hammerstone. He’s done with them as he addresses his opponent. One, Kane is waiting to sneak a cash in. Two, Kane is injured and tries to nurse his wounds. Three, Kane hopes Hammerstone gets injured, so he could swoop in. Or four, Kane faces Hammerstone fairly, which might not be an option. Either way, Hammerstone will be there at Never Say Never.
Also, there’s news going around that Jacob Fatu will be returning to us next week.
Willie Mack vs. John Hennigan (c) – National Openweight Championship match
When Mack kept trying to go after Hennigan, the champ made sure he had the assistance of the ropes surrounding the ring, so any attempt Willie had was shattered from the beginning.
Willie somewhat got inside Hennigan’s head when he alluded to the possibility of knowing Cesar Duran’s whereabouts. Now, John is venturing to do the same to his challenger.
Hennigan had Mack in a headlock spread across the mat for a moment. That was enough for Willie to submerge with a great takedown of the champ, turning him inside out. WHIPLASH!
Hennigan shockingly slaps Willie in the face. That insult antagonized the man to chase after the champ, who’s using Taya Valkyrie as a shield. How… charming. The hilarious display of cowardness was met with a suplex on the main floor courtesy of Willie Mack.
Despite how clearly winded Hennigan is, Adonis wants to believe that the champ is only pretending to be hurt, so Mack won’t think twice about adding more power that could weaken him quicker. And he does. Willie chops Hennigan on the front and back.
The champ starts to pick up the pace when he manages to create separation with a kick to his challenger’s face off the middle rope. Hennigan had most of the momentum while Mack was down.
Hennigan lands awkwardly, completely missing his target. Ha! It was funny because the move he did was beautiful, yet tragic. Willie almost wins the gold with a standing Moonsault, regrettably, Hennigan remains in the match.
Willie had the champ reeling with a colossal kick that took him down, yet for a brief second, Mack wasn’t able to capitalize, so Valkyrie took advantage. She noticed that Hennigan was probably done for after that kick, but she distracted the referee while Willie enters into a cover. It didn’t matter, though.
Mack stumbles over to Valkyrie, who’s mocking him. No one could foretell what would come next. Willie may have moved out of the way, preventing Hennigan from Super kicking him, but Taya was on the receiving end. HA! HA! Wow!
The official climbs out of the ring to check on Taya along with Hennigan, this leaves Mack by himself. Adonis rushes towards him with John’s title belt attempting to hit him with it, alas, Willie saw him coming and delivered a Stunner.
Willie had Hennigan with that Sunset Flip. He had him! The only reason why Hennigan retained is due to Taya’s interference just like the first time when Hennigan challenged the former National Openweight Champion Davey Richards. Hennigan was seen holding his belt until the last minute, he threw it to the side, alerting the official’s attention. Taya knocked Willie in the head with her Championship belt.
Need I say more?
Winner: John Hennigan

What REALLY happens to your body when you don't get enough sleep: Side effects of a poor night's rest revealed - and the simple tricks to sleep soundly.
Enough sleep is essential for your general well-being. Having one night of deprived sleep cannot amount to any health dangers. However, consecutive nights of poor sleep can do more harm to your body.
A study conducted in the United Kingdom by Understanding Society on sleep patterns and health came up with several findings that show about 37% of people in the UK sleep for less than seven hours a night. 56% of the people said they rest for 7 to 9 hours which is the recommended sleeping time. Adults, teenagers, and children have a different recommended number of sleeping hours.
The vast majority of us experience the effects of sleep deprivation far too often, sometimes even without us knowing it. How has sleep deprivation affected you? Share your story in comments section
Primary school children are advised to sleep for nine to 10 hours while teenagers can also sleep for eight to ten hours. Adults should rest for at least eight hours depending on some of their daily activities. The kind of business you do during the day should determine the amount of rest you get. If you have had a tiresome day, then make sure you get enough rest. One can sleep early when they get home to achieve the number hours required for quality rest.
Effects of sleep deprivation on your health
According to Better Health, lack of enough sleep can be hazardous to your health in several ways. Make sure you rest within the recommended number of hours to stay in good health. Here are some health conditions that may come as a result of poor sleep.
1. Poor memory
Depriving yourself sleep can lead to memory loss or forgetfulness. A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of California shows that poor sleep among the elderly can lead to memory loss. The researchers found that there are essential electrical impulses produced by the brain during sleep. These pulses play a crucial role in storing memory. They transfer memories from a section of the brain referred to as hippocampus to the prefrontal cortex where long memories are stored. You should get enough sleep or take powerful naps during the day for improved memory.

2. Increase in weight
Sleep deprivation can make you gain weight fast. It can affect your brain in a way that you will crave for more food which will not be processed efficiently. It disrupts the body hormones that control appetite. When you are experiencing insomnia and running low on energy, you will be tempted to make that trip to your kitchen or refrigerator for a quick snack. Doing this on a regular basis can lead to the gaining of weight. Get enough rest to stay free from becoming obese
Not sleeping for enough hours will lead to fatigue and reduced productivity the following day. A study on sleep deprivation and performance loss published in the Cornell University Library shows two continuous nights of less than six hours sleep can leave you inactive. The performance of your brain can interfere with your productivity levels. Fatigue brought about by lack of sleep is listed as a major cause of road accidents. It can also impair your judgment and make you come up with poor decisions.
Lack of sleep can affect your blood sugar levels. When the amount of rest reduces, your blood sugar levels increases. Researchers from Boston University, School of Medicine, came up with findings that show people who sleep for less than six hours had more complications with their blood sugar levels compared to those who sleep for about 8 hours. Lack of enough rest affects the ability of your body to burn glucose, which leaves one at the risk of being diabetic.
5. Aged skin
Not getting enough sleep can lead to the ageing of your skin. Many have experienced sagging skin and puffy eyes after nights of missed sleep. It can also lead to the formation of dark circles under the eyes. A stress hormone known as cortisol is produced when you experience sleep deprivation. If released in excess amounts, it can affect the function of collagen, which is the protein that helps keep your skin smooth and elastic. Little rest will also trigger the release of less growth hormone which helps thicken your skin.
Solutions for when you can't sleep
Getting the required amount of sleep will help heal your body and keep you in good health. You should observe proper sleeping habits and rest in the recommended number of hours. Here are some ways you can experience better sleep:
Limit caffeine intake
You should limit the consumption of caffeine which might lead to sleep deprivation. Caffeine is a well-known stimulant which keeps your body systems active after consumption. You can find it in beverages like coffee or other drugs. Once taken at night, it will keep your body active and reduce your sleeping hours. Go slow on the consumption of this drug at night and others that contain nicotine.
Reduce exposure to light
Your brain releases the melatonin hormone which helps regulate the sleep-wake cycle. It is released in excess during darkness, and this makes you sleepy. Exposing yourself to excess light will alter the release of this hormone. You should turn off your computer moments before you go to bed. Reduce the screen brightness of your phones, computer or TV two hours before going to bed. One can also turn off the lights of their living room at night. Lastly, make sure your room is dark during sleep time.
Create a good sleep environment
You should improve your sleeping environment to experience a good night's sleep. Make sure your room is silent and get a suitable bedtime drink like green tea. If noisy neighbors surround you, then it is high time you eliminate yourself from them. Find a quiet residential area free from noisy traffic. Make sure your room has temperatures conducive for a night's rest. You can do this by improving your ventilation or buying a conditioner to regulate the heat in your place. Make your bed comfortable by cleaning your beddings and using the right cushioning materials. Get yourself mattresses and sleep apnea pillows of a standard size which are comfortable.

Keep Me Going cereal is developed by a new company – inspired by the shock they felt when discovering how much sugar and salt was in the cereal their children were eating, they decided to create a healthy alternative that could be priced similar to the bigger companies.
After 2 years in the making, they finally got it right.
It’s low GI and it’s got 8 times less salt and 60% less sugar than Special K!
They’ve tried to aim the product at the whole family and appeal to children. There’s a few hidden surprises around the packet, hidden codes that take you to websites and even pig latin if you look really hard! There’s also around the world trading cards that tells you about different countries. There’s 190 to collect and even a map to print off from their website so you can mark the countries you’ve got. A fun way to get your kids interested in the cereal and learning about different parts of the world!
You can currently only get the cereal from Orcardo, but hopefully will be coming to bigger supermarkets soon, along with another cereal: Keep Me Strong, a high protein, low salt and low sugar cereal.
I’ve personally been eating this with some honey to get my day started. It’s delicious with chopped bananas, too.

If you, like many public sector employers, are in the dark about the FLSA’s byzantine protocols when deciding which payments you must include when calculating employees’ regular rate of pay for overtime purposes, then this video is for you! Partners Jeff Sloan and Steve Shaw break it down in this 2020 CALPELRA* conference session.
Parts of the Fair Labor Standards Act are opaque and antiquated, and the interpretive guidance provided by U.S. Department of Labor regulations often leaves even experienced human resources, payroll, and employment law practitioners unsure about how to handle complex overtime issues. Significant risks associated with FLSA violations, including liquidated damages and attorneys’ fees, have, unfortunately, provided incentives for public agencies to settle questionable cases. In December 2019, the DOL issued a “Final Rule” clarifying which premiums employers must include when calculating employees’ regular rate of pay – with the intended outcome of making it easier for employers to offer certain types of perks/benefits without the fear of being sued for inadvertent FLSA violations. The Final Rule was the first significant update to the regulations governing regular rate in over 50 years.
In this video, you’ll learn about the Final Rule and its practical effects, including the interplay between DOL regulations, guidance, and federal court decisions, including what deference, if any, will be afforded to the DOL promulgations; pending lawsuits and challenges concerning “holiday in-lieu” pay for fire and police employees and how this dispute has become the new Flores v. City of San Gabriel; and disputes concerning FLSA compliance that the Final Rule will likely trigger.

One grump among atheists I sometimes read is that it isn’t fair that Christians still have access to political and cultural power. Bishops sit in the House of Lords, for example. This is, it would seem, a much greater scandal than all the other people who sit in the house of Lords who were:
- Sent upstairs because they were just so annoying
- Bankrollers of political parties
- People who the electorate turned against but their political friends felt were too good to waste. People, in other words, about whom the People were wrong.
I even saw a complaint today that Christians are given high academic posts: former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, is, for example, the Master of a Cambridge College, handsomely paid and with privileged access to a rather good wine cellar.
We should hear this atheist keening for what it is, namely the complaint of one group against another group that the other group has unfair advantages. Christians do exactly the same, grumbling how their mighty secular enemies keep overturning laws and putting things on TV and probably will bring the wrath of God down on all our heads.
As I’ve often mused in this blog, and not with much originality, the era of Constantine, of state and church, is, if not exactly dead, deserving of other metaphors of decay: shot, derelict, over-mature, senescent, creaking, past it.
I think both Christians and (this is my point) atheists have to get to used this. This is handy for Christians actually. It is quite cool to belong to a subversive, radically good, cheerful, counter-cultural trickle, flowing into the global cultural sea.
It’s quite a thing to belong to a movement that teaches the right response to oppression is not protest but lending the oppressor a hand in his difficult life. Not for us, or at least not for us if we knew better, are the politics of grievance.
Meanwhile, atheists complaining of the Church having too much power is so Second Milliennium.
One more thing. Once you accept this, that the era of Constantine is over, that all good citizens aren’t Christians, that Christians are in the minority, it turns out we are quite a large minority. Like rats or cockroaches, we get everywhere.
Think of what we’ve done in my favourite field, science. Among other prominent Christians were: untangler of the human genome (Francis Collins); crusading leader of the UN Committee on Climate Change (John Houghton, a scientist who won the Nobel Peace Prize). Discoverer of pulsars (the Quaker Jocelyn Bell Burnell). These are just the examples roaming my brain at the moment. Or go back: Wernher Heisenberg had a faith (though presumably also held with a bit of uncertainty). Leonhard Euler used to lead Bible studies for his household. Johannes Kepler was a radical Protestant. Faraday’s faith was one of the most prominent things about him. The person who gave Faraday’s discoveries the complete mathematical treatment, a treatment so complete it will last to the end of time, was also a person of faith, James Clerk Maxwell.
This is just me shaking my brain to see what falls out. Turning to Wikipedia’s (admittedly slightly dodgy) list of Christians in Science, Alessandro Volta and Andre Ampere were both people of faith. (The correct response is ‘Watt?’) And Heinrich Hertz. (Who by the way, made his name in oscillations, not in car rental.)
So: Let’s all agree the Constantinian Church/state thing is a bit musty and generally off and the Christians are duly demobbed as members of the establishment. This is a new day. They are free to be happy annoying disrupters of a world that is not exactly legendary for its grace. Friends and foes of the faith alike should get used to it. | <urn:uuid:5f705311-64a1-4a3c-97ff-50c007ae81be> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://slowmission.com/how-atheists-too-should-get-used-to-a-post-christian-world/ | 2023-09-28T16:54:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.964513 | 828 |
China sent a new remote sensing satellite into space from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center at 11:44 p.m., Beijing time, on Sunday, December 27, 2020.
The satellite, Yaogan-33, successfully entered the planned orbit. This mission also sent a micro and nano technology experiment satellite into orbit. The two satellites will be used for scientific experiments, land resources survey, crop yield estimation and disaster prevention and reduction.
The satellite was launched aboard a Long March-4C rocket and was the 357th flight mission of the Long March carrier rocket series. | <urn:uuid:5a9d804b-a8ec-480d-b55f-315937538c0c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://smallsatnews.com/2020/12/28/china-drives-yaogan-33-satellite-to-orbit/ | 2023-09-28T18:38:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.921378 | 116 |
Finding and keeping great Caregivers is your most important job as the leader of your Homecare organization. The changing needs of the new workforce are making this harder than ever to accomplish.
CAREGIVER ENGAGEMENT IS KEY
One of the most important things you need to retain your Caregivers is to help get them engaged in their work and with your Homecare organization’s mission.
This shouldn’t be too hard, right? Well, this may be a surprise, but a Gallup poll indicates that less than one in three millennials are engaged in their work these days. This is really troublesome because millennials are now the largest segment of the workforce and crucial to your success. So, what is it that millennials (and others) want?
QUALITY OF LIFE MATTERS
Millennials are more concerned about Quality of Life than their predecessors. They want more life balance, recognition, and a good working environment.
However, if you can meet these needs, you can go a long way toward reducing your Caregiver turnover and that has a lot of benefits in terms of care quality, time, and money.
STEPS TO INCREASE CAREGIVER ENGAGEMENT
There are several steps you can take to increase Caregiver engagement among millennials and the rest of your team.
Note: It’s important that you reach everyone on your team, so focus on activities that include everyone. In addition, small frequent opportunities to connect are more important than larger, but infrequent activities.
To find out how SmartCare™ software and support can help you engage your team, please contact us at 1+ (800) 450-9104, email: email@example.com or visit us at our headquarters:312 S Barstow St Ste. 2, Eau Claire, WI 54701 | <urn:uuid:5078b37b-4b58-4fe6-8679-6242f1d694df> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://smartcaresoftware.com/news/engage-your-team-to-build-caregiver-retention/ | 2023-09-28T17:09:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.948617 | 387 |

It seems that every major social media platform is adding a "Go live" feature to their apps lately. Twitter, in particular, has been at the forefront of the live broadcasting craze for quite some time now.
The company has previously only allowed those with a Periscope account to go live, as the video would be live streamed through the Periscope app. However, with the latest update came the ability for you to go live without leaving the official Twitter app. It's incredibly simple, so if you're ready to start live streaming to your Twitter audience, I'll show you how to set it up below.
First, you'll have to make sure you're able to go live. To check this, you need to head to your Twitter settings. Tap your profile icon at the top left of your screen (Android users: If you don't see this, hit the hamburger navigation menu icon in the top left), then select "Settings and Privacy."
From there, tap on "Privacy and safety," then scroll down and take a look at the option that says "Connect to Periscope." While Twitter no longer requires you to leave the app and stream through the Periscope app, it does still use Periscope's underlying service. So make sure that you have this option switched on, or you won't be able to create a live video.
Don't worry, this doesn't mean that you're going to be taken into the Periscope app. In fact, you don't even need to have the Periscope app installed. Twitter automatically uses your login to connect to Periscope's service while remaining in the Twitter app.
Now that your live settings are in order, act as if you're about to compose a tweet and hit the quill icon in the top-right corner (iOS) or bottom-right corner (Android). There you will see the "Live" option as a button next to your "Camera" button. Tap that, and get ready to go live.
Once you hit the "Live" button, the stream will start initializing immediately. Before it begins, however, Twitter will ask you "What's Happening?" just like when you tweet. Enter a description of what you're doing and that will be tweeted out to your followers to let them know to watch the video. This will attract audiences, so make sure you're clear!
When you're satisfied with your description and your video initializes, press "Go Live" and you'll immediately be live on Twitter.
While you're live, it might be hard to keep up with any engagement you're getting. Luckily, in the bottom-right corner of the screen, you'll see a person icon which will keep tabs on all who join your video. When someone starts watching, a small notification will appear at the bottom of your screen, telling you the username of whoever joined.
You also have the options to share your broadcast as it's happening by hitting the ellipses button at the bottom of the screen. This will pull up a menu of ways that you can share your broadcast while filming, including asking users to share your video and follow you. You'll also be able to sketch on your broadcast here, in case you want to draw out something that you're talking about or just goof around.
When you've got nothing left to say or do on your broadcast, make sure you know how to stop it. All you have to do is press the "X" in the top-right corner of the screen. A drop-down menu will appear asking if you'd like to stop your broadcast. Confirm your choice on this message, then your video will be ended.
You won't lose it, though. Since the video automatically tweets to your followers, you can watch it again afterward. It'll appear on your profile, but with the message "ended" at the corner to let your followers know that you're not still live.
That's all there is to it! Everyone likes watching things live, and now you've got an easy way to increase audience engagement. Make sure to continue to promote your broadcast even after it's ended, especially if something fun happened during it. Watch me try to keep a straight face as I experience some technical difficulties when I was live on Twitter a while back!

Whenever club card Dumbo Slot ฝาก 10 รับ 100 sharks size up a baccarat table interestingly, most see just a coin flip style shot in the dark.
Bettors make their theory concerning which hand (financier or player) will end up with the nearest all out to 9, two hands are managed two as well as three cards relying upon their aggregates, and one of them draws nearer to the enchanted number. Wash, flush, and rehash…
With no capacity to impact the result – a la hit/stand choices in blackjack or dispose of/attract decisions video poker – people who incline toward ability based betting games will generally laugh at baccarat’s obvious straightforwardness.
As they see things, why bother risking cash when the two sides have even chances to win and the inevitable result is under obligation to irregular possibility alone?
These suppositions about baccarat check out on a superficial level, however provided that you’re not focusing. Baccarat is without a doubt one of the more fundamental table games out there, and it won’t ever be mistaken for the intricacy of craps or the test of blackjack.
Regardless, card sharks the world over group to the baccarat tables in large numbers, making it one of the most famous games on any gambling club floor.
Indeed, club in Nevada pulled in $1.1 billion on baccarat alone last year, second just to the gaming machine vertical ($3.3 billion) and almost triple the success rate produced by individual toss of the dice roulette ($384 million).
In high-limit parlors from Macau to Monte Carlo, Las Vegas, and Atlantic City, baccarat is the round of decision for very much obeyed whales.
What’s more, because of the presentation of Mini Baccarat – which downsizes the game to sporting betting stakes and eliminates the extravagant features like self-banking that put numerous players off – you’ll observe sightseers joyfully going after foreseeing the financier and player hands’ destiny.
So what brings these individuals out to play baccarat assuming that the game is just about as basic as most portray it?
Indeed, the response to that is adequately simple – baccarat is substantially more than meets the eye.
Sharp players who realize the score have sorted out some way to play baccarat better than the gauge. These effective baccarat processors adhere to a specific content, pressing out each ounce of value they can from what searches for all the world to be a completely arbitrary bet.
The following time you see somebody coolly stacking their chips in the wake of pulverizing one more baccarat shoe, concentrate on their inclinations intently. Whenever you do, you’ll undoubtedly find that they’re making the most of the three best ways of improving as a baccarat player depicted underneath.
1 – Be Boring and Bet the Banker Every Time Out
Envision a betting genie rises out of a container – a jug perusing “Crown” on the off chance that he resembles most gambling club inhabitants I know – and continues to give you the accompanying deal.
You’ll both flip a coin multiple times more than, with $100 on the line for each flip, and whoever ends up winning more cash gets compensated out that sum from the other. Just in this situation, heads is ensured to turn a champ 51% of the time, while tails will show up on 49% of flips.
Knowing all of this, which side could you call?
This isn’t a difficult question or anything, so the response is clearly heads. By and large, straight into your pocket on account of a normal +20 win differential (1,000 x 0.51 = 510 successes for heads).
Presently then, with the coin flip model currently depleted, we should rethink the inquiry.
In baccarat, the broker and player hands are the bettor’s two essential decisions (erring on the third and last choice to come). Furthermore, as you can find in the table beneath, one decision positions somewhat better compared to the next regarding their general success probabilities.
Baccarat Base Bets by Win Probability
BET WIN PROBABILITY
That’s right, for this situation, the broker hand fills in as heads, succeeding at a 45.83% clasp to the player hand’s 44.63% success rate. That is 1.23% in additional value for the investor hand on every single arrangement, which substantiates in the two hands’ separate house edge rates.
Baccarat Base Bets by House Edge
BET HOUSE EDGE
Human instinct will ask you to stir your bets up while hoping to ride transient streaks, yet as you’ll learn later in the page, past outcomes don’t have a lick of effect with regards to how the cards will fall from now on.
And keeping in mind that it will in fact be a piece exhausting to wager on broker each break, this is the main authentic system demonstrated to give baccarat players the most ideal chances.
2 – Never, Ever Take the Tie Bet
Discussing the most ideal chances, the baccarat wagering board additionally contains one of the most terrible bets in all of club betting – the tie bet.
Since baccarat aggregates can’t go more than 9 and bust – they basically roll back over to single-digits to make another 0-9 aggregate – the financier and player hands will once in a while end up tied. These ties, alluded to as “impasses” in baccarat vernacular, crop up on 9.51% of arrangements.
Bettors can court disaster by betting on the tie rather than broker or player, and assuming they beat the somewhat more terrible than 10 to 1 chances, they score a squeezed up payout of 8 to 1 on their cash.
First thing, those numbers ought to provide you opportunity to stop and think. With genuine chances of right under 10 to 1, and payout chances of simply 8 to 1, people who put everything on the line are getting hosed to the tune of a 14.36% house edge.
Assuming that weakness sounds steep to you, that is on the grounds that it’s one of the most terrible house edges you’ll at any point experience. To place things in legitimate viewpoint, blackjack players utilizing essential procedure partake in a 0.50% house edge, and, surprisingly, a crapshoot like twofold zero roulette just comes to 5.26% – almost multiple times better compared to the tie bet.
Look at the table underneath to see exactly the way that terrible the tie bet truly is, then, at that point, keep away from it at all costs while playing baccarat.

Check out this pitch for the Five-Count Baccarat Strategy, a framework that depicts itself as “idiot proof” method for beating the house:
“The Five-Count Baccarat Strategy is the advanced framework that Baccarat players have been trusting somebody would find for the beyond fifty years!
It is easy to utilize, just requires a bankroll of $18 to begin, and blows through each baccarat game offered today!
In light of a special approach to playing the rhythms of the game, this methodology turns over each baccarat game and loses high as can be rewards!”
I won’t try making sense of how the Five-Count functions, yet like each and every other BS baccarat procedure, in view of the idea following past hands gives you understanding into how future hands will twist up. See five broker successes straight, then bet large on player since it’s because of hit… that kind of rubbish.
Obviously, that is the thing we call the Gambler’s Fallacy, a confusion ancient that happens when players accept past is introduction. Tragically, the second a hand is finished, its outcome has literally nothing to do with how the cards are now rearranged in the shoe.
One more typical baccarat procedure trick is predicated on alleged movement wagering frameworks. As the scam sales reps selling these frameworks guarantee, adhering to a severe wagering example can mystically guarantee you end up with a benefit before the finish of the meeting.
The most notorious of the movement frameworks is known as the Martingale, which calls for multiplying your bet after any misfortune.
The Martingale actually takes care of business. Losing $5, 10, and $20 wagers prior to winning a $40 bet will clear you a $5 benefit. In any case, the table beneath shows you why this framework is bunko.
Martingale Bet Requirements in Baccarat
Attempt the Martingale framework if you think it wise, yet assuming a losing dash of just ten hands happens, you’ll require $5,210 on your next bet just to escape with a $5 benefit. | <urn:uuid:b1abb7de-17fc-4a6e-a9c7-7537782c9537> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://smartspeakerappsetup.com/most-effective-ways-to-become-a-better-baccarat-player/ | 2023-09-28T18:36:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.910776 | 2,278 |
Dutch Oven Popcorn
Makes approximately 4 quarts
1/2 cup popcorn kernels
1 tablespoons canola oil
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup light corn syrup
8 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup chopped toasted pecans
1 cup dark chocolate chunks
1 cup broken salted pretzel bits
1 cup broken salted potato chips
Dutch Oven Popcorn
Preheat Dutch Oven over medium heat for 1 minute.
Add oil and gently tilt the Dutch Oven to coat the bottom of the pot. Add popcorn kernels in one layer across the bottom of the pot and immediately cover with the lid. Cook over medium heat, shaking the pot every 20 seconds or so during the first few minutes to prevent burning.
Continue to cook over medium heat, shaking the pot frequently, until popping slows to 3-4 seconds between, about 5-6 minutes total. When it sounds like all the kernels have popped, remove the lid and transfer popcorn to a large mixing bowl. Discard any unpopped kernels. Add chopped pecans, chocolate, pretzel bits, and broken chips to the bowl.
Spray a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray or line with a silicone mat.
Wipe out the Dutch Oven to remove any popcorn debris. Add sugar, water, and corn syrup and whisk just to combine. Return the Dutch Oven to medium heat and cook, without stirring, until caramel is a deep amber in color and reads 365˚F on an instant-read thermometer (you can swirl the pot occasionally to ensure the caramel cooks evenly). Remove from heat and stir in butter, salt, and baking soda (careful - it will bubble up!).
Working quickly, pour caramel sauce over the popcorn mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until coated. Spread mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and let sit at cool room temperature until caramel is crunchy and chocolate has solidified again, about 1 hour.
Store at room temperature in an airtight container for 4-5 days. Or, for extra crunchy and long-lasting caramel corn, store in the freezer for up to 3 weeks. | <urn:uuid:16c27938-0872-408a-9a4b-31f8e9c37ae1> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://smithey.com/blogs/recipes/dutchovenpopcorn | 2023-09-28T16:42:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.864792 | 477 |

Promotional T Shirts by Viking Goods
I started working with Viking Goods T Shirts! I honestly love the designs - very fantastic and Celtic with a little whimsey - a lot like my D&D games.
When I bought my first shirt, the Celtic Tree of Life, I wore it on a casual day. It so happened that I scheduled myself to pick up some friends from the airport. When I arrived, I (haha!) realized this was a highly regulated military base.
I am very creative, but I forget to do things like keep my insurance cards around, or even keep my license plates up to date (I know, cast your judgement). However, in talking with the guard, he didn’t seem to judge, and went with his gut in allowing me into the facility. Eventually, between negotiations, he allowed a text message from my friend to count as evidence for me to enter legally. Awesome, I’m in the clear.
However, when I turned away, he called out to me.
I turn around, wide eyed.
He shows me his tattoo on his arm - the Celtic tree of life
“Nice T Shirt", and cracks a wry smile.
“Thanks brother,” I smile back and give the shaka sign.
Natural 20 on a charisma check!!! I’m keeping this t shirt for good luck. I will make sure to show it off to you next post - along with some other items.

I’ve spent the past several days experimenting with other types of games, and one that landed my attention was Bucket of Bolts (BoB), which I backed on Kickstarter a while back. BoB isn’t a role-playing game, strictly speaking, but sort of a world-building game or writing exercise in which you create the history of a medium-sized freighter that is itself nearly a full character on its own, in the vein of the Millennium Falcon or Serenity. (The Rocinante comes to mind as well, although that ship wasn’t a freighter of course.) During the course of its history, the ship passes between different eras and captains.
At the same time, I’d been thinking about a space game and how much I’m enjoying bashing things together. Eventually I settled on using Chris McDowall’s Ask the Stars (AtS), which he’s made freely available for now. The core idea there is to use the oracle in a minimalist solo style, but in the first link he’s added some additional tables and guidance for playing in a science fiction setting.
My concept is to use BoB as the overall framing device in which the ship is the main “character”, but then use AtS and some additional tables from Stars Without Number (SWN) and Any Planet Is Earth (APIE) to play through each act or captain. I also used the Futuristic Names generator from Fantasy Name Generators to generate some names for the people I’ll write about.
In homage to the two base systems here, the ship is named “Starbucket”.
You were constructed by a team of starship engineers—describe them, their design principles and political affiliations.
An immediate chance to Ask the Stars: “The Traveller (wandering, chance) Reflected (reversal, vanity)”. So the original ship designers were a set of engineers who never had the chance to go out into adventurous locations themselves, but the ship they built was intended to roam the stars and handle whatever came its way. Their political affiliations were mixed, but generally they believed in humanity’s destiny among the stars. Their intentions were not based on corporate profit but on fulfilling a dream of exploration and discovery for all of humanity.
Add three Traits describing your Ship then draw it. Sketch out the layout of modules and its silhouette, considering the materials used.
The traits are:
Generated by DALL-E
Give your Ship a model name and simple factory designation.
I don’t think “Starbucket” is a very good model name, so I roll on some tables in APIE for inspiration. I get 2-1 “Bright” and 4-4 “Mendicant”, which is as good as anything I would have come up with. So the model name is “Bright Mendicant” and the factory designation is BM-5160. Other than the ship name, I don’t think I’ll answer the other ship questions now. Instead, they will be answered while playing through the acts.
Before I find the first captain for the Starbucket, I want to reflect for a moment on the name of this act. The title for this act reminds me of the High Republic in Star Wars, during which the galaxy had a period of peace, prosperity, and relative stability. Other science fiction has had something similar, like the time of the Federation in Star Wars or the Citadel and the Council in Mass Effect. It doesn’t represent a utopia by any stretch, but rather a period in which society is not undergoing tremendous upheaval or widespread war.
As I play through BoB, please note that the quotes are from the game itself, reflecting the questions it asks in various sections.
I want to start with a Person from the tables in AtS Intergalactic. The result is a “Paranoid Explorer” who wears overalls and a stab vest. The closest captain type in this era is “a renowned mercenary: capable, steadfast, and world-weary.” De-emphasizing the paranoia a bit, and rolling for some other characteristics and names, I imagine Captain Rylan Kimra.
Now for the questions:
Describe the motley crew of professionals they travel with.
I’ll use AtS Intergalactic again, and get a “Proud Drifter” and a “Humble Bruiser”. This group sounds like some ne’er-do-wells. What’s the vibe like? The Stars say “The Wings (freedom, nature) Colliding (change, violence)”. That fits the descriptions, as they’re free spirits who often find themselves in a fight, whether due to professional assignments or personal reasons.
Which of their victories left you in the most critical condition?
“You” is the ship, so what sort of combats might have left the ship in this condition. Back to asking the Stars, which indicate the fight was against “The Council (opposition, cycles) Rising (growth, possibility)”. This was some sort of corporate-sponsored action, such as a hostile takeover in a literal sense. Two energy-producing corporations squabbled over refueling platforms high in the atmosphere of Leighton V, a gas giant, and the Starbucket took fire.
With your Captain’s flash flying and steady aim you destroyed a symbol of oppression. Describe the encounter. How did it all come down to one last, desperate attack run?
First, let’s figure out the settlement and how it’s governed, using AtS Planetary. Ueda is a farming community governed by academic totalitarianism. Perhaps the academic institution ruled the area ruthlessly, using the local agricultural industry to feed its own population. In that sort of situation, elitism and classism must have been rampant. What sort of symbol could they have destroyed? The Stars say “The Wings (freedom, nature) Twinned (intimacy, dependency)”.
I keep thinking of a statue, so in that case we can take this both literally and metaphorically. The statue showed two individuals, a man with broad, extended wings, standing atop a regular man whose wings are folded in. The statue was viewed by the locals of that settlement as a symbol of the oppression they suffered under the academic totalitarianism. During a riot, the academy called in air support from law enforcement or even the military to suppress the uprising. The Starbucket was called in to help the locals, and during the battle the statue was destroyed.
Ship Question: Your customized systems allow for a unique maneuver that many of your Captains have attempted. What it is, and what does it come to be called by tale tellers and imitators?
The “Rylan” is a maneuver that involves flying the ship on a dangerously low approach to evade anti-ship fire and drone pursuit, then pulling up at the last possible moment to redirect the incoming fire over the actual target.
Eventually, Rylan Kimra’s time with the Starbucket must come to an end. What happens? The Stars answer: “The Traveller (wandering, chance) Burning (honesty, pride)”. I think Captain Kimra was eventually recognized and joined a larger fleet, perhaps even in a navy or military. But the Starbucket didn’t go along - it’s a freighter, properly speaking, not a destroyer or cruiser. So the Starbucket was sold to a new captain, and Rylan Kimra went on to bigger and better things.
No time passed between captains; this was a normal transaction. The next captain was an “Ambitious Traveller” whose style included carbon mesh and patches. This doesn’t sound like a galactic senator, so the captain type is “a long-distance hauler: bullish, forthright, and protective.” So I’ll imagine Captain Maianna Ozcar as I answer the questions.
Describe their family, blood or otherwise, who live aboard.
The Stars yield “The Legion (unification, identity) Rooted (stability, plenty)”. That sounds somewhat militaristic at first, so I decide these were veterans who served together, then continued to work together when they completed their service. Captain Ozcar must have inspired tremendous loyalty for so many to continue to follow her even after they were no longer required to do so.
What was the most valuable cargo that filled your hold?
AtS Mercantile has some tables for this! First, though, I want to Ask the Stars (using the yes/no oracle) whether this was a passenger rather than regular cargo: “no, but…” What’s the “but” related to? The Stars say “The Elder (authority, tradition) Reflected (reversal, vanity)”. I decide this means that they transported the human remains of someone very important, a revered figure. The tables tell us that the person was a “Professional Explorer”, perhaps someone who discovered and charted many new worlds. The remains were transported to their home planet for a proper burial.
Emergency klaxons jolted the crew awake but, before you could escape, raiders boarded. What did they intend to take? Could your Captain and crew drive them off?
The cargo that the Starbucket carried at the time was luxury armor, which was being transported to a pretentious investor in a corporate market. The raiders wanted the armor for their own use; when the crew received a mysterious demand for the cargo, they ignored it, only to find themselves being boarded. However, the raiders didn’t expect the ship to be crewed by experienced former military who knew how to fight together, and they repelled the boarding action easily.
The result was, according to the Stars, “The Ship (direction, struggle) Entombed (memory, death)”. The crew of the Starbucket ended up fully destroying their attackers and leaving the attacking ship adrift in space.
Thus, the end of Captain Ozcar’s time with the Starbucket. Regarding how that came about, the Stars tell us of “The Wings Waning”. Eventually, the crew fell apart, as all families (found or otherwise) do. Captain Ozcar didn’t want to continue on without that crew, so she walked away from the ship. It took almost no time to find a new captain.
Next time, I’ll play through acts II and III using more or less the same method. I want to take some time to reflect on the Starbucket before that, though. This is turning out more entertaining than I though. | <urn:uuid:af357672-4524-4e14-9f72-6da86177cd2b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://solo.technoskald.me/bucket-of-stars-part-1 | 2023-09-28T17:35:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.963432 | 2,296 |

If there’s one thing I cannot say about my life, it would be that it’s boring. My life is anything from boring. Or ordinary, for that matter. Things just seem to happen to me. Sometimes good, sometimes bad, but often unbelievable.
Yesterday, my brand new Pacifica (you know, the one I got on October 31 after my van was totaled?) was hit by an 18-wheeler. Yes, an 18-wheeler. Un-freaking-believable!!!
We had been out and about after dropping Calista off with our friends, T and G, to go Christmas tree hunting. Skip got a haircut, and then we took the boys shopping. There was a scary free Santa at Wal-Mart that the boys met. They screamed when we put them on his lap. Oops. Afterwards, we met up with Calista again and decided to stop by McDonald’s on the way home.
After we ate, we pulled up to the parking lot exit and stopped to wait to make a right turn. Just as we got there, an 18-wheeler with some large, oversized piece of construction equipment on it approached from the right and began turning left in to the parking lot that we were waiting to pull out of.
As he started turning in, we could see that he needed more room, as he was coming very close to the front of our car. I started to back up and he kept coming closer and closer. I kept backing up — a good 25 feet or so — and he just kept coming. I was running out of options, so I laid on the horn long and hard, but he never stopped once until he hit us.
Whatever he was hauling was actually what hit us — it started at my side view mirror and dragged up the side of the Pacifica on the driver’s side. I didn’t want to move forward or backward for fear of further damaging my car, and I couldn’t open my door, so I sat there and cried as Skip got out.
He never did talk to the driver, nor did the driver ever talk to us. The driver did take a bunch of pictures of the accident, and I called 911. The police came and took the reports, and we separated the vehicles.
The police officer told us that the driver claims he was already in the lot when we approached and it was our fault. That is total b.s. as we were stopped at the road when he started to turn, we were clearly visible to him (whether he saw us or not is another story), he never stopped to let us get out of his way, and the lot was large enough that he could have pulled more to his right and not come so close to us.
We got home and I had to call insurance — again — and make a claim. I am dreading this. We still have over $1,100 to recoup from the last accident, the van isn’t even fully paid off yet because of money not yet paid from the other insurance, and we haven’t even made the first payment on the Pacifica yet!
Here we go again.

From Brianna Franklin:
“Feel free to share/repost any of our previous content to promote, if more convenient. Otherwise, in terms of official statements, we’ve been using the following:
The Prosp(a)rity Project is an organization dedicated to uplifting and strengthening the Black female community. As stated in our motto, “Leading our sisters to prosperity through defeating disparity”, our aim is to equip our sisters with resources, access and education to facilitate financial, personal and professional development.
Currently, we’re pursuing this through our pilot initiative: The Prosp(a)rity Project Economic Empowerment Fund.
Launched in honor of Juneteenth, this campaign seeks to enfranchise Black women, who statistically are most adversely impacted by the $1.5 trillion student loan crisis due to carrying the highest balances yet earning the least due to the wage gap & job discrimination, by first paying off the entire student loan balance of our selected recipients, then partnering them with a financial coach who will help them develop a custom plan for money management and wealth generation.
Our goal is to raise a minimum of $500K between now and August 31st, 2020—please help us get the word out and considering donating, if able!

A Community Affair – The Ivy House
Music brings people together, from cavemen playing flutes around a fire 67,000 years ago to people singing from their balconies in the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic. Nowhere is this clearer that at The Ivy House, London’s first cooperatively owned pub.
Located in Nunhead, this pub has had several names and many owners over the years, but one thing has remained constant – a sense of community with music at its core.
The Ivy House started life as The Newlands Tavern more than 150 years ago, and after a rebuild in the 1930s, dance and music becoming a staple. It wasn’t until the 70s, however, that its musical career really took off. Truman’s brewery, owners of the pub, leased it to a young couple who quickly made it a major spot of the pub rock movement. In just a few years, they had hosted the likes of Joe Strummer, Ian Dury, Elvis Costello, Dr Feelgood, and many more.
By 2012, the pub had its current name, but then disaster struck – it was closed and sold, with plans to gut the interior and turn it into residential accommodation. Not willing to lose their local, the Nunhead community banded together to have their pub listed as an Asset of Community Value – the first of its kind in London.
The dedicated group then raised funds, bought the building, and since 2013 have run The Ivy House as a cooperatively owned pub, continuing its legacy with live music every Friday, jazz on a Sunday, and comedy and theatre on Thursdays.

Mississippi State University’s Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems, or CAVS, is using a partnership with the U.S. Army to design and build driverless off-road vehicles.
To that end, crews are working to create a 50-acre track that will provide real-world tests of the modeling and simulations prepared by CAVS’ team of professional and graduate and undergraduates.
The center, created to complement the work of Nissan when it arrived in Canton, now regularly works with all players in the Southern auto industry, as well as NASA and the military. The center landed nearly $20 million in research and development contracts in 2017, up from around $15 million in 2016.
For the military’s driverless off-road project, the center is talking to experts in other fields where such work is also underway, including construction, mining and agriculture interests.
“We’re interested in anyone interested in off-road autonomy,” says Starkville-based Clay Walden, CAVS executive director.
The professionals and students involved in the narrowly targeted technology of driverless off-road vehicles are positioned to make a genuine difference, according to Walden. “It’s a niche where we can contribute and not get lost in the tens of billions of dollars in R&D that we’re not going to touch.”
After three years in the autonomous-vehicle space, CAVS decided to grow its stake by building a 50-acre test track and proving grounds behind its Starkville home at 200 Research Boulevard.
Along with that addition, the center has made a particular focus of sensors, Walden says. Sensors are a particular focus, Walden says. They come in a range of forms including laser, camera and radar. “You want to be able to model them ahead of testing,” says Glenn Dennis, director of CAVS extension.
While military secrecy forbids too much discussion on the off-road project, Mississippi innovators have found that the work already done keeping driverless cars on the road doesn’t apply much to what the Army wants.
Designers of unmanned cars built for the highway have the luxury of paved roads and multi-lane signage and signaling. “Off-road you have a whole set of questions,” he says, starting with how the vehicle reacts with the terrain and how it overcomes obstacles.
In this line of work, Walden says, your innovations best be far out ahead of competitors. “We’re not going to be successful developing things two or three years out,” he says. “We need to be further out than that.” | <urn:uuid:98609549-8db7-4be6-b977-77ed05b655d3> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://southernautomotivealliance.com/mississippi-innovation-center-taking-driverless-vehicles-off-road/ | 2023-09-28T17:48:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.954748 | 557 |

As an instance, let’s say you prefer a $5,100000 mortgage however, will have to pay a great 5% origination payment. If for example the mortgage was disbursed, you’ll only located $4,750, as your financial needs out $250 of lump sum payment to pay for percentage. | <urn:uuid:0534a9e1-020d-4f7f-b0e8-837d1f4fbec8> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://spectateurs-citoyens.fr/2023/03/02/fool-around-with-lendingtree-s-loan-calculator-in/ | 2023-09-28T18:48:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.966468 | 1,012 |
The informational space is rather a sophisticated thing, you know, wrapped in mysteries and riddles of all sorts. And we are bound to believe all these things if they only fit well our own vision of the world. If they don’t, we won’t believe them, despite any thinkable proof supplied. Yes, this is how it was last Saturday when many mass media outlets were quick to spread the words of some American presidential advisor on science. He allegedly stated that Americans had never actually been to the Moon. Later on some amusing details came to the surface. First, the President turned out to have no such an advisor yet. Then they said the news had been posted on a special fake news site. Interestingly, these revelations failed to become hurdle on the way of those umpteen exalted ganksters ingeminating in social networks that the Americans have let the truth out at last: they’ve never been to the Moon.
Well, on Monday those exactly outlets readily embraced another news. This time some former MI6 head discovered a strategic project of the USA and Great Britain on dismantling Russia. It would be really a great temptation to make the brat red-faced with yet another Russophobia fit… Alas, the news was released on the false Guardian site having only one difference from the authentic one: a wrong letter in the domain name.
Nevertheless, both stories were published by many editions and accepted by their readers as a matter of course. I really got interested in this phenomenon and braved a small social experiment. I created a faked story and posted it on a Facebook page. It was about how Americans were demanding to exempt from the Gone With the Wind novel its main character, Rhett Butler, for the guy took the side of Confederates, which is presently out of favor, judging by the recent events in Charlottesville.
So, what next? Hundreds of likes, dozens of comments and lots of reposting followed. And practically no doubts were voiced. Absurd news is treated by the readers as true to life, for the very reality has transformed into absurdity. That’s it! These are not at all news fakes that change reality but rather this is reality that gives birth to fake news. That’s why any fighting against fake news is just senseless It is reality that must be changed.
I got the highest possible evidence of my rightness when Facebook rejected publishing my post explaining the details of my social experiment and containing my apologies to the unwilled participants of this experiment. Facebook just considered my post a fake!
I’m repeating it once again for everybody to get it absolutely clear: Facebook without a shadow of a doubt posted my fake news, while the news disclosing the truth about the experiment was seen by Facebook as fake.
Should we actually be surprised at some people still doubting the American flight to the Moon but believing into the plan on dismantling Russia by Great Britain and the USA?
We shouldn’t, ‘course everybody has got his own truth, as well as his own fakes. | <urn:uuid:4bdaa623-e76c-408a-aa9a-866fdadf0c6b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://speculum.club/2018/02/15/fake-news-scheme-as-a-social-experiment/ | 2023-09-28T17:04:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.972019 | 631 |

Small Storage Kitchen Table – Choosing the right kitchen table set is pretty significant as far as furniture goes. It is not as glamorous as getting, say, a leather couch for the living-room, but when it comes to absolute volume of use, it generally occupies the top status in the hierarchy of furniture. That said, the set doesn’t have to quite pricey. Should you believe that simplicity is a virtue when it comes to furniture design there are lots of excellent table and chair sets that can be had for not too much cash.
From that point, costs get higher for more durable stuff. One thing concerning the pine table is that it will work fine in most regards, but won’t be quite resistant to scratches and dings due to the softness of pine.
They can make for a seating area that is very snug and can possess a picnic table sort of feel. For kitchens that are tiny, a glass kitchen table set could be a great alternative. The seethrough table can make space look larger, and see-through seats add to the effect. Space may well not be really grown, but nevertheless, it will feel like it.as the seating alternative. This really is excellent for an informal appearance that’s still welcoming. Since a fall out of any of these seats can make a lot of hurts, it may well not be great for a family with little kids, yet.
Cushioned seats are preferred by lots of people, but you’ll want to ensure the material is stain resistant. You do not want to curse your set after having it just a few days if your kid spills grape juice on one of the seats. | <urn:uuid:d9d38c33-874e-47a4-8a9f-11fe9a17c780> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://speed24news.com/7161-small-storage-kitchen-table/ | 2023-09-28T17:19:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.964614 | 340 |
In what can be a preview of Qualifier 1 the Bayleaf Blasters and Nutmeg Warriors meets in the final match of the first round of the tournament. Both teams have already qualified for the knockout stage of the tournament and will be hoping to secure the top spot in after the group stage.
The match up features two of Grenada’s most decorated cricketers as the leaders of their team in Andre Fletcher and Devon Smith who will look to put on an exciting show for the fans.
The Blasters enters the match on the back of a close victory against the Cinnamon Pacers with the captain leading them across the line in their chase. The Warriors lost their previous match against the Challengers, their batters were unable to case 89 for victory and would need their batsmen to get back into their grove as they enter the final phase of the tournament. | <urn:uuid:bef4e73c-73d3-4dec-b82f-c58e2edd2cad> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://spiceislet10.com/2023/05/05/match-preview-bay-leaf-blasters-vs-nutmeg-warriors-24th-match-spice-isle-t10-3rd-edition/ | 2023-09-28T17:42:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.969965 | 174 |

We’ve all been there—the sense of dread when you’re working on an idea, but can’t get it over the finish line; the 16-bar loop just doesn’t expand beyond the remits of your DAW.
It’s a nice feeling to be inspired, and having the time to get granular with an idea is also important. But truthfully, if you’re someone who regularly makes music, how many ideas do you have in your DAW right now that you’re struggling to get over the finish line?
I’ve been in this very cycle recently, and have spent hours sourcing online tutorials, self-help books unrelated to music, and even DAW strategy books. In this article, I share what ultimately worked for me in respect to getting my own tracks over the finish line, with the hope that you’ll also take some benefit from these practices.
1. Stop chasing perfection
The perfect is the enemy of the good. —Voltaire
No matter how many hours you spend tweaking the EQ on your kick drum, the majority of people who will hear the final track unfortunately won’t appreciate it or see your efforts.
I’m a huge fan of those stalwart producers who take pride in the small technical details when producing music. They’re true craftspeople, and should not be shunned. That said, in the context of this discussion, no matter how many hours you spend revising and editing, there are always going to be tweaks, corrections, and empty thoughts of adding another layer or percussion element to your already solid piece of music.
In the end, if you want to get your tracks over the finish line, you need to take a step back and practice acceptance—the idea that if you keep tweaking, you’ll never be done. I like the concept that I read about in Beth Kempton’s book Wabi Sabi—a part of Japanese culture that promotes the aesthetic of imperfection through transience and human error.
The whole point of exercising acceptance (Amor Fati) and embracing imperfections is not to ruin your chances of a career by putting out bad pieces of music. Rather, it’s about being able to move on to the next part of the project and speed up the process, so you’re not hanging around with a sense of imposter syndrome or letting failure cast doubt over your ability to be creative and flourish.
Moving on can sometimes be the best path to growth
Even if it’s not ‘perfect,’ having a track that you’re content with will increase the chances of you moving on to your next project to create something even better. And keep in mind that while it’s not the end of the world to have every element polished to ‘perfection,’ and things like mixing and mastering are important to familiarize yourself with, they can also be outsourced.
The house party listening to a Spotify playlist in Brazil or the people dancing at a live show in Austin typically won’t critique your sound design, as long as you’ve got the guts of your idea into a nice, groove-able arrangement.
Plus, so what if they do? The fact that you’ve got a track out there is something to be proud of, and people’s impressions are par for the course—some will like it, while others will critique. Life moves on. While you can influence them, outcomes and perceptions ultimately aren’t up to you.
2. Be consistent and keep showing up
Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% percent perspiration. —Thomas Edison
Unfortunately, for most of us inspiration won’t just strike on command, and we may or may not instantly get that great hook or phrasing from one session. Many artists and record producers turn to various methods of writing music, and will go to any lengths to get that spark of inspiration.
A common misconception is that you need inspiration to create good music. If you’re fortunate enough to have those periods of inspiration, that’s great—by all means go for it and get into your flow. You should hold on to them as much as possible, as these moments are few and far between for most.
For everyone else, we shouldn’t immediately categorize the lack of inspiration as “creative block” and ride that wave. Like most things in life, anything worth doing won’t be easy. If you want to make music and fully finish your ideas, you’ll need to find an effective process and work hard. Like the progressing martial artist or the avid gym fanatic, the more you show up, the more likely you’ll have a chance at progressing and growing.
Using iterative production to get tracks over the finish line
For me, having my DAW constantly open with a MIDI keyboard connected and internal plugins running motivates me to spend at least 30 minutes creating music. Despite the fact that some days I might not get out of a chord sequence or a drum pattern, I still have something to return to the following day, instead of always starting from nothing.
Some will call this iterative production, which involves starting with something simple (like what’s mentioned above) and turning it into a series of small additions and adjustments. The end result of that ‘session’ is not an amazing composition, but consistent and measurable progress. This can make a huge difference for your ability to get tracks over the finish line.
One additional technique I’ve found helpful is to block 15 minutes off in the afternoon, where my brain is typically automatically trying to procrastinate. It’s a solid way to give your brain a chance to rest, away from all the admin and chaos. This of course will be different for you depending on your work / life balance and day-to-day schedule.
From there, I’ll open up my DAW and close down everything else, and I’ll let my mind wander and my thoughts flow freely. Not only does this help you mentally recharge, but it can often help with a creative breakthrough, or a spark of inspiration might come if I’m fortunate enough.
It’s important to place a spot on your calendar for “creative thinking time” (I usually write in my journal), as it assists in driving home the consistency element of repeating three or four times a week.
3. Arrange, arrange, and arrange
I’m really inspired by sculpture, so I like to say, “You’re not making music, you’re creating a space.” You’re building a room, putting some objects in it, and seeing what happens to the objects over time. —Daniel Lopatin
The process of arrangement is crucial for any songwriter or producer. While arranging is fundamentally about structuring and therefore an additive process, you should also focus on it as an opportunity to subtract.
A method I find effective is to focus on arranging my tracks at the start of the process, and then prioritize the mix and other elements from there. Beginning your productions by ensuring that all the elements of your song fit together is a great way to ensure that the core qualities of the piece—including hook and melodic structure—are there without the bells and whistles to prop it up.
Provided you have the core sounds and ideas in place, you can then begin filling the arrangement view window with what you have. Think of the average length of a song in your genre, and fill out the space accordingly without too much thought. Luckily, most DAWs have a simple copy, paste, or extend clip command, which makes this fairly simple.
This process should take less than one minute to complete. It’s important to resist the urge to immediately dive into organizing and chopping. It’s similar to the process in music production called maximal density, where you throw the kitchen sink at your production, and stack all of your elements together in a bid to then weed out unnecessary sounds.
The benefits of employing a subtractive approach
Once this process is complete, in theory, you should have a block of material to chip away at or subtract from, which should in turn give you the outline of your track. It’s especially great for hearing what works together, what’s too overpowering, and what just doesn’t click.
If the music sounds too minimal or sparse for your required genre or taste, you can then add an element or two as necessary, rather than overpopulate your DAW with too many channels from the get-go. Fullness in a piece of music is often achieved with compositional balance, rather than too many things competing for the same space.
A go-to template I use for arranging my tracks quickly
Not only does this approach help you finish your music, but it can also be beneficial to the mixing and editing processes later on. Sculpting from your arrangement can help take your mind off the detail-orientated stage of tweaking, and allow you to immediately see the bigger picture. When it comes time to mix, this should be helpful as you have an overarching sense of what the raw audio needs.
One final tip here is to try importing a song that you’re already familiar with in your chosen genre, and use it as a reference point for length and structure. This is known as A/Bing, and usually occurs when mixing and mastering tracks, but I’ve found it useful for arrangement as well.
4. Make a list, and check it twice
Remember that our own worth is measured by what we devote our energy to. —Marcus Aurelius
Something that can revolutionize the way you create and ultimately get tracks over the finish line is grabbing a notebook and pen and making lists about your music. This can work in two ways: it can (1) allow you to plan what you need to add or subtract while in a listening feedback session, or (2) help you schedule a point in your day where you need to work on a particular section of your track.
My written notes about a new track I’m working on
This technique allows you to avoid excessive screen time and endlessly staring at your arrangement. Plus, having concrete notes on what you need to work on as soon as you open up that session will help you finish sections faster. I know a lot of people who also use Trello boards when planning their releases, and I’ve used them to work on my own tracks from start to finish.
Whatever you do, make sure you set out with a designated timeframe for creating or listening to feedback. I normally choose 30-minute or 45-minute sessions for creating or mixing, and most of the time, I achieve some form of progress. I can also split this over two days, which allows me to listen with fresh ears.
One of my recent Trello board ladder checklists
Psychologically speaking, writing things down can really help you progress with making music as well as other areas of your life. Five minutes spent on organizing your diary or online production checklist will not only make you feel better, but also embed into your psyche that you have something to finish off with haste.
Getting your tracks over the finish line: Conclusion
When you hear the old adage about a cat needing to be rescued out of a tree, what’s the tool that most reach for? Having a metaphorical ladder in place can drive home the notion of a completed piece of music, as opposed to another unfinished idea.
You might not always have the motivation to get that track you’re working on over the finish line. But, having a clear mind and concrete next step when it comes to creating and editing will eventually help you move on to the next section, therefore getting you closer to getting your music out of the DAW, and into the world.

A sign directs students to a pick-up location for school-provided laptops
Stocks closed Friday largely unchanged, as investors digested mixed new economic data and shrinking prospects of further governmental support for the economy in the near term.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed up 34 points, or 0.1%, at 27,931, while the broader S&P 500 index closed down 0.5 points, or 0.02%, at 3,372. The latter is expected to trade higher today, and is approaching a new record high.
At its most recent meeting on monetary policy in late July, the Federal Reserve sent a clear signal that it is totally committed to supporting the economy as it recovers from the COVID-19 crisis.
However, last Thursday, Senate Majority Leader McConnell adjourned the upper house for its August recess, without having passed a new relief bill. Senators and members of the House of Representatives are not scheduled to return to Washington, DC until after Labor Day.
President Trump signed an executive order that he said will enhance unemployment benefits by circumventing Congress, but there are questions about the order’s legality and, more practically, how it would be implemented by the states. It’s also unclear how it would affect unemployment insurance in the near term.
Fewer than 1 million workers filed for unemployment insurance last week, the first time that initial claims fell below 1 million since mid-March. An additional 488,000 new claims were filed for Pandemic Unemployment Assistance, which is available to self-employed and so-called “gig” workers.
In total, more than 28 million Americans are receiving some form of unemployment benefits.
Economists generally agree that the longer the pandemic dampens the economy, the more likely job losses will become permanent.
Globally, across 188 countries and regions, there have been over 21.7 million cases and 776,000 deaths. In the US, there are now over 5.4 million reported cases and over 170,000 fatalities. We remain an outlier – with only 4% of the world’s population, we have over 20% of the cases and fatalities.
The Public Health
On Friday, three pharma companies announced new deals for vaccine doses with European countries, adding to the demand on an already challenged supply chain.
Johnson & Johnson signed an agreement for 30 million doses with the UK, and is working on a Phase 3 trial. The company is also negotiating with the European Union to provide 200 million doses. AstraZeneca announced a contract for 400 million doses, and Novavax signed a deal with the UK for 60 million doses that also incorporates collaboration on a Phase 3 trial.
Notably, these three companies have also promised 500 million doses in aggregate to the US – 100 million each from J&J and Novavax, and 300 million from AstraZeneca.
The primary focus of vaccine distribution is on developed nations in the West, which is raising concerns about an extended virus impact on low- and middle-income countries. The World Health Organization and the Gates Foundation have therefore directed their resources toward these nations.
The Coronavirus pandemic will only end when enough people are protected, either by vaccine or by virtue of having previously been infected. This is what’s commonly known as “herd immunity”. It doesn’t mean the virus is gone, only that with fewer people to infect, it will move much more slowly through a population.
Months ago, scientists and public health experts thought that some 70% of the population would need to be immune from the virus to avoid large outbreaks. But in recent weeks, a number of scientists have indicated that herd immunity may be possible at a lower level of 45-50%.
If this is correct, certain areas in New York City, London, Mumbai and other major population centers may have already reached this threshold, and therefore may be able to avoid a potentially devastating “second wave” of infections this winter.
The New School Year
In some states, students have already returned to the classroom for the start of the new school year. Some districts are experimenting with a fully online experience, some are attempting a hybrid of online and in-person learning, and a few have even committed to 100% in-person schooling. In Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, Indiana and elsewhere, some schools, mainly in suburban and rural areas, have been open for almost two weeks.
Students returned to the classroom in Cherokee County, a suburb north of Atlanta, on August 3. The first notification of a positive test was sent to parents the next day. This week, nearly 1,200 students and staff members in the district have already been ordered to quarantine. Two high schools in the district closed last week until at least August 31.
The pandemic is also forcing the education system to confront head-on the technology gap that exists. With many schools switching to remote learning, students without high-speed internet access are locked out of classes. In 2018, some 17 million students lived in homes without high-speed internet service, and more than 7 million didn’t have computers at home. The issue affects a disproportionately high percentage of Black, Latino and Native American households, with nearly one-third lacking fast internet service at home.
Education advocates have argued that Congress could provide an easy fix as part of a relief package, by expanding an existing program that helps schools and libraries get internet service, and that distributes basic laptop computers and wifi hotspots to needy students. But those proposals collapsed together with the negotiations between Congress and the White House on a new relief package.
The Way Forward
As we noted last week, and as has been the case since the virus arrived in the US and was identified as highly contagious, we largely have our destiny in our own hands. To the extent we’re willing to follow the recommendations of our public health officials:
- Maintaining good hygiene by washing our hands often
- Avoiding large gatherings whenever possible
- Wearing a face mask when around others
- Cleaning and disinfecting frequently-touched surfaces
- Monitoring our health daily
we should be able to dramatically slow the spread of the virus, and eventually bring it under control.
The city of Portland, Oregon has resources available for those who need help in acquiring face masks, sanitizer and cleaning supplies here.
Keep the faith, be safe and stay healthy.

Perks and benefits that save employees money in the long run are always a valuable addition to a paycheck. Addition being the keyword here.
Because no amount of pizza parties can supplement the 10% increase in salary that people could get at the other agency across the street. Except, that’s not the case, the statistics surrounding this, point in the exact opposite direction:
- 32% of people polled in the US would take a 10% pay cut to work at a company where they like the culture
- 58% of workers will stay at a lower-paying job if it means having a great boss
- And 60% of workers would even take half of the potential paycheck if it meant working at a job they love
So if culture makes up for the differences in salary between your agency and the agency next door, how do you structure the salaries in your company to both attract and retain top talent?
- Don’t buy stars, build them – Have a partnership with the local media and technical schools that provides internships and part-time positions for promising students. If you follow our onboarding tips and you build a functional onboarding program, after a couple of weeks, your time investment in onboarding them should already be paying you back. And in a few months? You might just have your hands on your newest superstar.
- Have a clear progression path – be upfront and transparent with the salary structure. It will eventually become the biggest motivator for the employees in the lower tiers. If you split your progression path into layers where everyone gets paid the same, you can skip long management discussions like: ’’Is a Senior Backend Developer with 4 years of experience worth the same as a Senior Art Director with 5?’’ An example of how to structure your progression path could be:
- Intern > unpaid, but gaining real-life skills and experience from an agency by working on real projects
- Trainee > paid, part-time or full time; self-taught, certified or freshly graduated
- Apprentice > Same credentials as a trainee, but with some successful commercial projects
- Junior > Proven 1-3 years of experience with commercial projects
- Senior > 3+ years of experience with commercial projects and proficientwith project management and delegating tasks
- Management > If you’re doing linear progression, this step is simple. But if you want to do non-linear progression, it’s worth differentiating at management level. a. Senior members with multiple specializations and experience with managing teams b. Senior members with extra non-managerial responsibilities (product development, decision making, etc.)
- Equity tier > Management whose investment with the company is substantial enough to warrant equity in the company
- Promotions, raises and employees who feel undervalued – if you adopt the aforementioned salary structure, your employees should have a clear overview of where they fall and what they need to achieve to move up to the next salary level. But as it goes with highly ambitious people, you will always have individuals who take on more than their fair share of responsibility and then don’t feel adequately compensated. The answer should be obvious. If the employee performs above the set expectations, has the data to back it up, and asks for an increase in pay, they should get one. Sadly, when working with more than one person, it will never be that easy. Ben Horowitz summed it up the best in his class on Y combinator – how to start a startup.
A point he brings up is: If you give that employee a raise, will you give everyone else who is also performing well a raise as well? What about the employees who are performing just as well, but their personality prevents them from asking directly?
Apart from being approachable overall, managers and senior agency members can adopt these two methods to focus these conversations and help employees feel more valued and heard:
1. Monthly walk and talk:A manager and employee go for a half-hour walk outside of the office, talking about current projects, plans for future projects, the progress of the employee and any problems they might be having
2. Yearly progress conversation: Performance reviews are usually seen as a negative process because of the negative associations that people usually have with them. Walk and talks remove the need for quarterly performance reviews at a scary meeting room table.
But a walk and talk is not really the place to sign contracts and obsess over spreadsheets. So how about a yearly progress review, close to the end of the year, talking strictly about the employee’s progression path and salary?
That way, both current problems can be addressed from month to month, and larger issues or achievements can be accumulated over time. | <urn:uuid:919283aa-6779-415e-ac89-4ecb4371640f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://sqaeb.com/2021/01/31/salary-structure-in-an-agency/ | 2023-09-28T17:39:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.953302 | 967 |
Trauma has a way of turning people into the walking dead…
“I cannot tell you the exact moment that the slow progression toward the death of my innocent childhood began, but somewhere in those years between three and five, I gradually lost my voice and sense of identity. My home life was chaotic and unpredictable. Glimpses of the unspeakable, like shadows, refused to come into the light. My world was filled with those who sought to silence me. So I just stopped speaking up.
Things seemed blurred in so many ways…memories, thoughts. All I knew was to hide inside myself. My inner conscience locked all the painful hidden trauma away until much later when it came to light through my journey of discovery. I couldn’t remember the details of the abuse I suffered back then, and it would take years for me to consciously deal with it, when God slowly began to reveal the truth about my sexual abuse.”
Amanda Helman’s raw and emotionally transparent retelling of her journey through the darkness of abuse and rejection draws you into her world. The pain that left her silent and unable to find her voice eventually shattered as the light of truth burst through and she was finally Silent No Longer.
Educator, consultant, and international conference speaker Amanda Helman, Ph.D., has dedicated her life’s work to empowering women who have’ve experienced complex trauma, overcome negative, limiting mindsets to find their voice. An expert in the field of education, mental health, and leadership, she oversees Healthy Family Connections International Virtual Summit to support families, educators, mental health workers, and leaders discuss the power of the word we speak with children, teens, and families in the community. Amanda has spent over twenty-two years working with students with and without disabilities, especially those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), in the areas of academic, behavior, and social skill interventions, and has been instrumental in curriculum development.

(The nail of the goddess)
(Since the chanting of Devi Mahatmya leads to all the luck and good things in the world and at the end salvation Lord Prameshwara, decided to impose certain conditions to get that full benefit. This is the nail that he has put.)
1. Vishudha gnana dehaya trivedi divya chakshushe,
Sreya prapthi nimithaya nama somardha dharine.
The sage told:-
My salutations to that Parameshwara(The greatest lord) who is in the form of doing extreme penance, who has three holy eyes, who is the prime cause leading to salvation and who wears the crescent.
2. Sarvamethad vijaniyath manthranam abhi keelagam,
Sopi kshemavapnodhi sathatham japa thathpara.
3. Sidhyunthyuchadanadheeni vasthuni sakalanyapi,
Ethena sthuvadham devi sthothramathrena sidhyathi.
For getting victory in reading the Devi Mahatmyam, reading this would remove all the spokes in the way of getting result.. He who reads this also gets good times and gets all those which are not attainable. Even to one who praises Goddess with only Devi Mahatmya, she becomes pleased.
4. Na manthroushadham thathra na kinchid api vidhyathe,
Vina japyena sidhyatha sarvamuchadanadhikam.
5. Samagranyapi sidhyathi, loka sanka mimam hara,
Kruthwa nimanthrayamasa sarvamedhamidham shubham.
That man needs no other chant(Devi mahatmyam) or medicine,Without any other he would realise all his needs. He gets realised fully all his wishes, for The great god(Shiva), taking in to account the normal doubts among people, after composing this Keelaga also made it not necessary for him to read others.

Encanto B, 2nd Level (Sheraton Phoenix Downtown)
Bailey Stevens, BA, University of Oklahoma, Claudette Grinnell-Davis, PhD, University of Oklahoma and Amy Castro, PhD, University of Pennsylvania
This workshop for scholars at any career stage focuses on using emergent technological methods with populations experiencing new forms of inequality and alienation due to marginalization by global markets and impersonal policy subsystems in ways that prevent collective organizing, create legislative invisibility, and generate mechanisms of inequality that long-standing research approaches are poorly suited to address. Likewise, community-based researchers often encounter challenges in understanding phenomena not amenable to quantitative measurement, particularly around community process, social location, and time. These dynamics create methodological gaps that mixed-methodologists address through promising power-sharing and emergent technological approaches, but the strategies employed are not well understood by the systems governing research infrastructure. The workshop will present best practices for resolving common ethical and IRB tensions, data-use agreements, and managing expectations around public-facing emergent methods. The presenters will draw from case studies in child welfare, unconditional cash, and time-use research. Case study one focuses on using online collaboration tools for building consensus and collective vision during two participatory action child welfare projects. The second focuses on data-visualization of aggregate spending data from unconditional cash experiments co-created with elected officials, community organizers, and local stakeholders. The third highlights how a mixed-methods app-based data collection strategy was used to resolve methodological challenges when studying time-use, economic mobility, and unpaid care work. Hour one will focus on strategies for mitigating the community and infrastructure challenges commonly encountered with emergent methods. In hour two, participants will have the opportunity to workshop and troubleshoot their own projects with facilitators.

Finally! I’m happy to report that I found a DNS service that perfectly suits my needs.
My requirements are as follows:
- Available everywhere
- Support for DoT and DoH
- Includes ad-blocking and tracker-blocking
- Available stats
Pi-Hole: sorry, I do leave home sometimes
We all know Pi-hole, which is an awesome software. Sadly, it does not fit my requirements.
First of all, it’s only available at home, which is a total deal-breaker for me since I only work on mobile devices (laptop, smartphone) that come and go out of my house every day. Which means I can’t set my system resolver to PiHole because it wouldn’t work when I leave home and if I let DHCP managing my DNS settings, I’ll be using random DNS servers outside home.
I have successfully set up a WireGuard server with Pi-hole set as a resolver, on a VM in the cloud. That… works, but I don’t want to be connected to a VPN all the time.
To put it simply, Pi-hole does not tick essential boxes here, so it’s disqualified for my use-case.
Cloudflare’s 184.108.40.206 and others
Despite how much I like Cloudflare and this specific service, I want to block trackers at the DNS level. 220.127.116.11 is probably the most reliable and fastest resolver there is on earth, but that does not fit my use case either. 😕
Adguard: good enough, but not perfect
For the past year and a half, I have been using AdGuard DNS (not their software). I have been using the DoT endpoint from my Android phone and the DoH endpoint from my Mac through dnscrypt-proxy, and it’s been working perfectly.
They have been super reliable for me. They seem to have an Anycast network, although limited.
My ISP in France is Orange, and they go through Cogent to reach their Paris server. But Cogent decides to route my packets through New York…
Which means I need about 80 ms to access a server that is minutes away from my home.
I don’t know if their Tokyo server is recent, but when I was in South Korea, I had about 200 ms of latency. Granted, I didn’t keep the results of a traceroute so I don’t know if it’s the same kind of routing madness.
That being said, I can’t say this has really bothered me. Moreover, dnscrypt-proxy acted as a local cache, which reduced the number of requests sent to AdGuard.
Of course, I was using them because they block ads and trackers. It really made a difference on my Android phone: I haven’t seen ads in so long that I can’t even conceive to see ads on my phone anymore.
What if I want to whitelist or blacklist a specific domain though? What if I want to see statistics of my requests? No possible, sadly. This has not been a huge deal, but it’s been something I wish I had…
NextDNS: Couldn’t be better
NextDNS has been founded by two French guys. To quote their FAQ:
NextDNS has been founded in May 2019 in Delaware, USA by two French founders Romain Cointepas and Olivier Poitrey. Olivier has been working on Internet infrastructures for the last 20 years. In 2005, he founded Dailymotion, the largest video sharing service after Youtube and the most popular European website in the world at the time. He is currently Director of Engineering at Netflix, working on Open Connect, Netflix’s home CDN also known as the CDN moving about 30% of the total US Internet traffic. Romain and Olivier closely worked for years at Dailymotion on many different projects. Romain ended up leading the mobile & TV department.
We are true supporters of the net neutrality and Internet privacy. We believe that un-encrypted DNS resolvers operated by ISPs are detrimental to those two principles. Alternative solutions like Google DNS or Cloudflare DNS are great, but we think more actors need to step up and provide alternative services to avoid centralization of powers.
I don’t know about you but for me that inspires me much more confidence in the project than random people on the internet. Or for that matter, whoever’s behind AdGuard in Russia… 🤔
NextDNS is a new and rapidly evolving service (still in beta). The information I provide below may not be up-to-date when you read this article.
NextDNS have their own AS, but I’m not sure who exactly is backing their infrastructure. They don’t seem to be using a single (big) cloud provider like AWS or GCP because the locations don’t exactly match. My guess is that they use multiple cloud providers, but this is a wild guess 🤷♂️. My point is: you’ll get great latency, wherever you are!
From home, I have about 3 ms of latency to the Parisian server:
You can measure your latency to NextDNS servers by going to https://ping.nextdns.io/.
I don’t monitor NextDNS, besides my simple Smokeping above, but it’s just ICMP. All I can say is that I haven’t experienced, as far as I know, any outage or issue during the last 3 months.
Clients and support for secure protocols
In 2020, we should probably avoid using DNS, as we have many means of using secure DNS protocols like DNS-over-HTTPS, DNS-over-TLS or even DNScrypt.
Since NextDNS supports, well, “classic” DNS and both DoH and DoT, it’s usable everywhere. On top of that, they have a multitude of graphical apps for:
- ChromeOS (via a Chrome extension!)
On Android, I use the native DoT implementation.
On my Windows gaming PC, I don’t want to bother and simply use the Windows GUI app.
On macOS, I could have kept using dnscrypt-proxy because it supports DoH, but the official CLI is really good. It’s multiplatform, including Windows and *BSD.
After installing it from Homebrew, I could set it up on my macbook as easily as:
sudo nextdns install -config <myconfigid> -auto-activate -report-client-info=true -log-queries=false -forwarder infra.company.tld=192.168.42.42
The last option is split horizon: it will forward the queries for
192.168.42.42, an internal DNS server. Neat!
The CLI is easy to use:
➜ ~ nextdns version nextdns version 1.4.36 ➜ ~ nextdns config hardened-privacy false bogus-priv true use-hosts true forwarder infra.company.tld.=192.168.42.42 auto-activate true log-queries false report-client-info true detect-captive-portals false timeout 5s setup-router false listen localhost:53 config <myconfigid> ➜ ~ sudo nextdns status running ➜ ~ nextdns log | tail Apr 9 19:35:36 mbp-scw com.apple.xpc.launchd (nextdns): This service is defined to be constantly running and is inherently inefficient. Apr 9 19:35:36 mbp-scw nextdns: Starting NextDNS 1.4.36/darwin on localhost:53 Apr 9 19:35:36 mbp-scw nextdns: Listening on TCP/[::1]:53 Apr 9 19:35:36 mbp-scw nextdns: Listening on UDP/127.0.0.1:53 Apr 9 19:35:36 mbp-scw nextdns: Listening on UDP/[::1]:53 Apr 9 19:35:36 mbp-scw nextdns: Listening on TCP/127.0.0.1:53 Apr 9 19:35:41 mbp-scw nextdns: Activating Apr 9 19:35:41 mbp-scw nextdns: Connected 18.104.22.168:443 (con=5ms tls=120ms, TLS13) Apr 9 19:35:41 mbp-scw nextdns: Connected 22.214.171.124:443 (con=5ms tls=7ms, TLS13) Apr 9 19:35:41 mbp-scw nextdns: Switching endpoint: https://netbarista-par-1.edge.nextdns.io#126.96.36.199
It automatically handles everything and will set the system resolver to 127.0.0.1. Since it launches by itself via launchd, I can just forget it. It’s better than having yet another app in my taskbar.

My only complaint is that it does not seem to cache requests (see the 7 ms query time above, even though I have made the query multiple times).
On my servers, I was already using a local recursive resolver with Unbound. For the servers that had a recent-enough Unbound version that supports DoT, I added a few lines of configuration to forward the requests to NextDNS. It was less work for me than trying to incorporate the NextDNS CLI into my workflow. I don’t really need to use NextDNS on my servers, especially since I disabled all filtering for them. It’s just so that I can have logs and stats, for fun.
The only upside of using a dedicated NextDNS client at first was to have per-device stats, but it turns out you can add the device name in the endpoint to differentiate it. Very cool feature!
Although NextDNS is usable with the default endpoints, its power is unleashed when you create a “configuration”. You can create one without an account to test things out, but creating an account will allow you to make the configuration private and linked to your account.
I personally have an account with two configurations: one for all my devices and one for my servers.
From the web interface, which is improved quite often, you can customise what domains are being blocked as well as consult logs and statistics.
Blocking trackers and ads
One of the main selling points of NextDNS is of course the fact that it blocks trackers and ads by default. You can turn it off if you want, which is what I did for my server configuration. But most of all, you can customise it! That’s one of the pain points I had with AdGuard: if one domain I needed to access was blocked by AdGuard, I had to temporarily use another resolver.
Besides a simple whitelist and blacklist, the dashboard gives granular control over what’s blocked. Here are some available sections on it:
- Threat Intelligence Feeds
- Google Safe Browsing
- Cryptojacking Protection
- DNS Rebinding Protection
- IDN Homograph Attacks Protection
- Typosquatting Protection
- Domain Generation Algorithms (DGAs) Protection
- Block Newly Registered Domains (NRDs)
- Block Parked Domains
- Block specifics Top-Level Domains (TLDs)
- Block Child Sexual Abuse Material
- Block Disguised Third-Party Trackers
- Allow Affiliate & Tracking Links
- Parental Control
- Restrict access to specific websites, apps and games
- Restrict access to specific categories of websites and apps
- Safe Search
- YouTube Restricted Mode
- Block Bypass Methods
As you can see, NextDNS provides much more than simple ad blocking!
The Privacy -> Blocklist tab looks like this:
The default list already contains a ton of domains and should be good enough to start. I added a few more that I already knew, like AdAway and AdGuard 🤓.
Here is the repartition of my blocked queries over the last 30 days:
That doesn’t tell much, though, because we don’t know how these stats are computed. Is there a precedence level? Or is a domain matching multiple lists accounting for each one’s blocked count? 🤷♂️
Statistics and logging
One of the main selling points of NextDNS is that you can optionally log queries and extract statistics out of them.
If they are enabled, logs can be stored in the US, Europe, or Switzerland, with a retention period spanning from 1 hour to 2 years.
Here are some screenshots of the logs tab:
I can also make sure my device is sending requests using a secure protocol:
It’s very neat to be able to view and filter all these logs. But what’s even better is the Analytics tab!
On average, it seems I send a bit more than 500k DNS queries a month. Impressive!
I’m the kind of person who loves having stats about everything, so this soothes my heart. This is the feature that I liked about Pi-hole, and I can finally use it, everywhere!
For what it’s worth, a few months ago NextDNS joined Firefox’s trusted recursive resolver program, “committing to data retention and transparency requirements that respect user privacy”.
NextDNS is a service that can’t make money unless we give them some. Their pricing policy is extremely simple:
- Completely free during the beta…
- then it’s free up until about 300,000 DNS queries/month — $1.99/month for unlimited queries.
- If you decide to stay on the free plan, NextDNS will simply behave like a classic public resolver after reaching the 300,000 queries limit.
Kudos to them for that last point: they don’t cut you out if you go over the quota, but simply stop filtering queries.
The threshold of 300k queries is cleverly placed. 300k is a lot, but it’s just low enough that most user will need to pay if they want to keep ads way at the end of the month. That being said, $2/month is a very fair price and I will gladly subscribe once NextDNS goes out of beta!
NextDNS is my new favourite DNS service. 👏 | <urn:uuid:91f82880-35a8-45ca-b817-6f11d36fd8ea> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://stanislas.blog/2020/04/nextdns/ | 2023-09-28T18:39:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.891167 | 3,620 |

Just the right piece of accent furniture can redefine the energy of a room, transforming a living space into a representation of your unique style. Whether you seek a minimalist or eclectic approach, incorporating accent furniture helps to showcase a space without overhauling the whole design of a room. Its purpose is in the name itself—accent furniture should highlight what already exists in the space, adding a hint of individuality while using the surrounding area to create balance and calm.
There are many ways to determine the right accent furniture ideas for your home. Each accent piece plays a different role depending on the existing space. Add a pop of color into a neutral palette, weave a new style or time period to complement a clean and modern décor, or completely repurpose a vintage item. Most importantly, an accent piece draws the eye to a focal point like a work of art, while serving a practical purpose at the same time. A well-placed accent chair or sofa bed for example, alters the way someone views and takes in a room. It boosts their energy, starts a conversation and sets the tone.
Once the overall aesthetic of a room has been set; the exciting challenge becomes finding the accent furniture ideas that work best for your style, your life and your unique home or office. You can also find a great amount of affordable luxury furniture pieces to add to your space without going over budget or compromising your vision. Consider these five approaches to finding that unique piece of accent furniture to renovate your home’s energy.
Combine Function and Style
Accent furniture is all about individual creativity, it can range anywhere from an eccentric sofa bed to a 19th century-style trunk/coffee table. As with all furniture, each item still serves a sensible purpose, but accent pieces add an extra flair of personality and storytelling through design.
A dependable go-to accent item is a distinctive coffee table or chest. As the centerpiece of a living space, an eclectic coffee table pulls the surrounding furniture together, allowing guests to hone in on the room’s style as they lounge and chat around the item. Its functionality still allows easy interaction, while simultaneously speaking for your style.
Lighting is another creative selection. The tone, luster, and structure of a room’s lighting determines the energy and mood of a room without altering the paint color or furniture palette. You may consider incorporating a more daring style through lighting, such as art deco, industrial or minimalist.
Perhaps the most versatile of practical accent investments, chairs and sofas both serve great purpose and have the ability to relay style. Consider time period, patterns and pops of detail when choosing an accent chair. Also remember that its surrounding counterparts should showcase its uniqueness, creating balance with the eye-catching piece.
Accent Unique Spaces
When exploring options, think about the different spaces of your home; each room can spark a unique accent furniture idea. From the front porch to the kitchen, through the bathrooms and even the mudrooms, consider spaces that may not come to mind when choosing accent items. A foyer’s location for example is a fine place to catch someone’s eye as soon as they head into your home. This often-under-utilized space has great potential for style and distinction.
Accent items also highlight your passions—such as cooking and hosting. Kitchen and dining accent items showcase your centralized aesthetic through modern bar stools, an antique dining table, or even a discussion-sparking sideboard to add to the flow of the dining experience. Accent furniture makes everyone more excited to use the space and boosts the room’s common purpose.
Add Pops of Color
Colorful indoor furniture particularly shines in minimalist design. A simple, minimalist scheme often banks on a smooth, calm color palette. Earth tones, grays, and creams are dependable choices to relay that sense of balance and simplicity. This aspect makes choosing a personalized accent item even more fascinating.
Color pops don’t need to be bright and bold either—gilded, lustrous colors such as gold and silver reflect a sense of elegance in a classic space. Colorful accent items may include a DIY painted bookcase, a brightly upholstered chair, or even a simple set of side tables that flank the room for balance. In addition to color, consider additionally exploring colorful fabric patterns, angular items, and nontraditional, colorful seating solutions.
These pops of color are also a great way to easily transition the energy of a room—or even outdoor patio space—as the seasons and styles change. Outdoors, swap out bursts of bright primary colors in the summer for autumnal warm earth tones in the fall.
Display Your DIY Prowess
Since accent furniture celebrates the individual characteristics of a space, adding a DIY touch to an existent item is an excellent way to accent a room. For example, choose bold color to reflect an accent wall, perhaps on the face of a set of drawers or on the outside of a bookcase.
Textures also add depth. Staining and distressing a wooden item gives this piece a rustic yet stylish appearance, while giving you freedom to play and add as much or as little toward the look you choose.
Basic items become accent pieces when personalized items add function. Consider vintage hand-picked knobs and handles to a side table or refinish the top of a coffee table with an old map or piece of art.
Mix and Match Styles and Periods
As with the pops of color, throwing in a uniquely styled piece to exemplify a particular time period or design greatly complements a simple space. This is a chance to really let loose with textures and details. If existing indoor furniture is relatively soft and simple, retro-styled accent furniture seamlessly works into the space. Explore the varying functionality of other time periods’ tables, bookcases and carts, repurposing an original piece. For example, vintage trunks or large suitcases can be transformed into stemware displays or side boards, while items such as sewing machine tables act as attention-grabbing coffee tables.
Expressing your distinct style can be straightforward and simple. Accent furniture acts as a smart, stylish way to showcase items that spark these unique energies of home. Whether you explore pops of color, varying textures, or a dramatic vintage or DIY item, these accent pieces will provide a home that represents your individuality. With plenty of accent furniture ideas and just the right accent item, a home transforms into a memorable space that makes a distinct impression on all who gather there. | <urn:uuid:0778f4d6-8dce-4d2b-8b17-141fdf54f1e2> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://star-song.com/blog/5-accent-furniture-ideas-home/ | 2023-09-28T17:56:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.89699 | 1,351 |

2018 Gencon and HOBONOMICON!Posted: July 17, 2018
Currently getting ready for Gencon 2018 (first weekend in August) where I will be a guest at the Goodman Games booth, selling art, books, meeting you fine people. etc. Above is some of the original art that will be coming with me for sale — there will also be black and white stuff in various sizes. In addition I will (hopefully) have copies of my “Mother of Toads” comic… (I think the delivery man tried to bring them yesterday, but Annie says our dog’s fierce barking chased him off)…
And I will be selling 11×17 posters of the ‘dungeon map’ illustration… suitable for framing or coloring… Each dungeon map print is signed and backed with a card to keep it from getting wrinkled and wrapped in plastic (although you can easily unwrap it for display or framing). Posters will be $10.00 each. What I don’t sell at Gencon will probably be sold via the web and if I make a small profit I’ll try it again with different images.
If all that were not enough, we will also have issue #0 of THE HOBONOMICON on sale!
Hope to see you all there! | <urn:uuid:e7798900-3d69-4ef7-b0fe-4e2f347ceee9> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://stefanpoag.com/2018/07/17/2018-gencon-and-hobonomicon/ | 2023-09-28T16:41:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.946646 | 274 |

One of our favorite boats is about to get the red-carpet treatment in one of our favorite locations for boats: On Wednesday June 7th, the lovely 75-foot sloop will be open to the public at the ridiculously-perfect Sail Newport yacht facility, just across the bay from America’s yachting mecca: Newport, RI. It’s all too perfect to miss. One of us, Bob Stephens, gets to deliver the boat himself from Camden, Maine. And he’ll be on-board, and on hand, to answer all your questions on Wednesday.
To keep things organized either give Tripp Estabrook, at email@example.com or (401) 474-4322, a shout and he’ll set up time for Bob to show you off some of Isobel’s best-kept secrets. Or, better yet give Bob a call to the office at (207) 338-6636 or drop a note to firstname.lastname@example.org, to RSVP for the event.
Here’s an advance peek at Isobel’s hidden wonders:
All-carbon bowsprit, without a bobstay:
We’ve talked about Isobel’s all-composite chainplates, in the past. But equally cool, and important for performance, is her all-carbon bowsprit. The news here is, no bobstay. This 40,000-pound boat is rigged pretty much like a Melges 24. Whoa! The trick is the seriously-light heavily engineered sprit-trusses that anchor the forestay up forward of the bow. It all lets Isobel carry a convenient, roller-furling Code Zero reacher and asymmetrical spinnaker with almost no weight penalty forward. That means reduced pitching in heavy weather. It’s kick-ass, and it’s all what you have to have when the wind pipes up.
Not only a great foredeck, but a great “anchor well-deck.”
A serious, 75-pound plow anchor is what you want — until it has to come off the bottom, get cleaned, stowed and squared away for action. Why not then, create a specific spot in the pointy end of the boat, to safely and easily manage all the tackle, chains and mess of that big ole’ hunk of iron. Isobel agrees. So, right aft of the spiffy all-carbon bowsprit, she features a secure and handy recessed “anchor well-deck” where ground tackle can be managed at one’s leisure. Since we do our own anchoring around here, we sorely miss Isobel’s anchor well-deck on boats that don’t have one. All boats should.
Her pilot house is an all-carbon composite mainsheet bridge.
Loads coagulate in strange places in boats this big and fast. One of the spookiest, on Isobel, is her pilot house. Because here is where the ginormous 2,000 square foot sail needs to be sheeted to the rest of the hull. Since that’s also right where people do most of their living on this boat, some serious boat-nerdery was required. Laminated carbon, load carrying trusses, 3-D load analysis, we threw the tech kitchen sink at this structure. It’s not like anybody starts out drawing boat with a state-of-the-art pilot house. But that’s what Isobel told us she needed. And Isobel gets what she asks for.
A Multi-stage cockpit.
Speaking of sensible living, Isobel’s cockpit is where the ergonomic magic happens. But not everyone actually agrees on what “that magic” is. For some, her cockpit is a finely tuned, ergonomically brilliant racing layout. For others, it’s luxury lounging in the sun with hors d’oevres and cocktails. For still others, it’s sitting out of the sun with a cool breeze ruffling your hair while you yell at the crew to sail faster. We channeled all these competing desires while designing the continuum of comfort that’s Isobel’s cockpit: Twin wheels, a central mainsail control pod, and great sight-lines from and the elevated sail management space. You can step forward and down a step to luxuriate in the lounging cockpit on plush upholstered sofas. Tuck into the forward corner sheltered by an overhang from sun and drizzle. Or, slide into the pilothouse, drop the sturdy watertight drop-windows, and enjoy your sailing with protection — and a view.
Where you get to be is what seals the deal with Isobel. | <urn:uuid:4ca309f2-3f4d-4286-9477-d66d7bef8475> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://stephenswaring.com/the-inner-isobel-is-open-to-the-public/ | 2023-09-28T17:28:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.916633 | 1,037 |

When it comes to taking care of your employees, don’t forget about wellness. Caring for your employees’ health not only benefits them, but your business as well. Research shows that each dollar spent on employee wellness saves employers a corresponding $3.48 in reduced healthcare costs and $5.82 in fewer missed workdays.
Starting health and wellness initiatives now can help your employees take a healthier step into 2020. According to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s “Winning with Wellness” report, 87% of employers are committed to workplace wellness and 73% offer a program to their employees. Here are just a few ideas how to make employee wellness programs a fun and effective part of your organization.
Yoga Classes Offer twice weekly, in-office yoga classes to your employees. Yoga and meditation are fantastic stress relievers and a great self-care practice. Workplace stress can cause burnout and less productive employees, which can cause negative effects on your business, so it is a win-win for both of you. Gift participants a yoga mat with your company logo and a positive message, or a branded water bottle.
Wellness Challenges Promote a healthy lifestyle in and out of the workplace by hosting a wellness challenge. Some ideas include weight loss challenge, a walking challenge, or even a water drinking challenge. You can give all participants a bag full of wellness-related products branded with your company logo, like a pedometer or an insulated lunch bag. Reward the winners of the challenge with branded swag like sweatshirts with the challenge’s name on it.
Out-of-Office Adventures Not only can team fun outside of the office create better camaraderie and teamwork during work hours, but it can also be a great opportunity to promote health and wellness as well. What about a zip-line adventure or a game of golf? Participating employees all receive a logoed t-shirt or polo, so they remember their fun day. Virgin HealthMiles Inc. and Workforce Management Magazine’s joint survey stated that 87% of employees consider health and wellness offerings when deciding what company to choose as an employer. So, if you want to attract top employees for your company, then adding health and wellness initiatives is a win-win for you and your business.
