Payroll and human resources software provider, Paylocity (NASDAQ:PCTY) announced better-than-expected results in Q4 FY2023, with revenue up 34.7% year on year to $308.5 million. The company also expects next quarter's revenue to be around $316.1 million, roughly in line with analysts' estimates. Paylocity made a GAAP profit of $37.3 million, improving from its profit of $15.1 million in the same quarter last year.
Paylocity (PCTY) Q4 FY2023 Highlights:
- Revenue: $308.5 million vs analyst estimates of $301.6 million (2.29% beat)
- EPS (non-GAAP): $1.32 vs analyst estimates of $1.13 (16.7% beat)
- Revenue Guidance for Q1 2024 is $316.1 million at the midpoint, roughly in line with what analysts were expecting
- Management's revenue guidance for the upcoming financial year 2024 is $1.41 billion at the midpoint, in line with analyst expectations and implying 19.8% growth (vs 37.9% in FY2023)
- Free Cash Flow of $40.4 million, down 67.7% from the previous quarter
- Gross Margin (GAAP): 68.6%, up from 66.2% in the same quarter last year
Founded by payroll software veteran Steve Sarowitz in 1997, Paylocity (NASDAQ:PCTY) is a provider of payroll and human resources software for small and medium-sized enterprises.
Managing payroll may seem like an easy thing to do from the outside, but it is actually one of the most difficult administrative functions of a company. There are tax compliance issues, employees are eligible for different benefits based on contract type, local and national laws, and even a small mistake can ruin the whole process.
Using Paylocity software, organizations can schedule interviews with job candidates, manage employee attendance, learning, payroll, and benefits. Paylocity also integrates with other software platforms to help employees with tasks such as compliance, tax and insurance management.
The company developed its software for small businesses in search of intuitive and affordable HR solutions, as enterprise HR software is often too expensive and too complex to use for smaller businesses and their employees.
HR software benefits from dual trends around costs savings and ease of use. First is the SaaS-ification of businesses, large and small, who much prefer the flexibility of cloud-based, web-browser delivered software paid for on a subscription basis than the hassle and expense of purchasing and managing on-premise enterprise software. Second is the consumerization of business software, whereby multiple standalone processes like payroll processing and compliance are aggregated into a single, easy to use platforms.
The major competitors in the mid-market for HCM software include ADP (NASDAQ:ADP) and Paychex (NASDAQ:PAYX).
As you can see below, Paylocity's revenue growth has been very strong over the last two years, growing from $167.5 million in Q4 FY2021 to $308.5 million this quarter.
Unsurprisingly, this was another great quarter for Paylocity with revenue up 34.7% year on year. However, the company's revenue actually decreased by $31.4 million in Q4 compared to the $66.8 million increase in Q3 2023. Regardless, we aren't too concerned because Paylocity's sales seem to follow a seasonal pattern and management is guiding for revenue to rebound in the coming quarter.
Next quarter's guidance suggests that Paylocity is expecting revenue to grow 24.8% year on year to $316.1 million, slowing down from the 39.4% year-on-year increase it recorded in the same quarter last year. For the upcoming financial year, management expects revenue to be $1.41 billion at the midpoint, growing 19.8% year on year compared to the 37.8% increase in FY2023.
What makes the software as a service business so attractive is that once the software is developed, it typically shouldn't cost much to provide it as an ongoing service to customers. Paylocity's gross profit margin, an important metric measuring how much money there's left after paying for servers, licenses, technical support, and other necessary running expenses, was 68.6% in Q4.
That means that for every $1 in revenue the company had $0.69 left to spend on developing new products, sales and marketing, and general administrative overhead. Paylocity's gross margin is poor for a SaaS business and it's dropped significantly since the previous quarter. This is probably the exact opposite of what shareholders would like to see.
Cash Is King
If you've followed StockStory for a while, you know that we emphasize free cash flow. Why, you ask? We believe that in the end, cash is king, and you can't use accounting profits to pay the bills. Paylocity's free cash flow came in at $40.4 million in Q4, down 13.9% year on year.
Paylocity has generated $227.8 million in free cash flow over the last 12 months, an impressive 18.2% of revenue. This high FCF margin stems from its asset-lite business model and strong competitive positioning, giving it the option to return capital to shareholders or reinvest in its business while maintaining a cash cushion.
Key Takeaways from Paylocity's Q4 Results
With a market capitalization of $11.9 billion, a $288.8 million cash balance, and positive free cash flow over the last 12 months, we're confident that Paylocity has the resources needed to pursue a high-growth business strategy.
It was good to see Paylocity beat analysts' revenue expectations this quarter and raise its long-term adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow targets. That really stood out as a positive in these results. On the other hand, next year's revenue guidance, despite being in line with analysts' estimates, suggests a significant slowdown in demand. Overall, this was a mediocre quarter for Paylocity. The company is down 3.15% on the results and currently trades at $206 per share.
Is Now The Time?
When considering an investment in Paylocity, investors should take into account its valuation and business qualities as well as what's happened in the latest quarter. We think Paylocity is a solid business. We'd expect growth rates to moderate from here, but its revenue growth has been strong over the last two years. And while its gross margins show its business model is much less lucrative than the best software businesses, the good news is its very efficient customer acquisition hints at the potential for strong profitability and its bountiful generation of free cash flow empowers it to invest in growth initiatives.
The market is certainly expecting long-term growth from Paylocity given its price to sales ratio based on the next 12 months is 8.6x. There are definitely things to like about Paylocity and looking at the tech landscape right now, it seems that it doesn't trade at an unreasonable price point.Wall Street analysts covering the company had a one year price target of $251.7 per share right before these results, implying that they saw upside in buying Paylocity even in the short term.

Earnings results often give us a good indication of what direction the company will take in the months ahead. With Q4 now behind us, let’s have a look at Wix (NASDAQ:WIX) and its peers.
While e-commerce has been around for over two decades and enjoyed meaningful growth, its overall penetration of retail still remains low. Only around $1 in every $5 spent on retail purchases comes from digital orders, leaving over 80% of the retail market still ripe for online disruption. It is these large swathes of the retail where e-commerce has not yet taken hold that drives the demand for various e-commerce software solutions.
The 4 e-commerce software stocks we track reported a weak Q4; on average, revenues beat analyst consensus estimates by 2.27%, while on average next quarter revenue guidance was 2.41% under consensus. Tech stocks have been under pressure since the end of last year, but e-commerce software stocks held their ground better than others, with share price down 4.01% since earnings, on average.

"2020 and 2021 brought unprecedented changes, challenges and opportunities for almost every business worldwide due to uncertainty and volatility brought on by the pandemic. Now, as we enter our third year of COVID-19, the world has begun to transition once again," said Avishai Abrahami, Co-founder and CEO of Wix.
Wix delivered the weakest performance against analyst estimates and slowest revenue growth of the whole group. The stock is down 18.9% since the results and currently trades at $93.80.
Best Q4: BigCommerce (NASDAQ:BIGC)
Founded in Sydney, Australia in 2009 by Mitchell Harper and Eddie Machaalani, BigCommerce (NASDAQ:BIGC) provides software for businesses to easily create online stores.
BigCommerce reported revenues of $64.8 million, up 50.4% year on year, beating analyst expectations by 4.96%. It was a weaker quarter for the company, with an underwhelming guidance for the next year and decelerating growth in large customers.
BigCommerce achieved the strongest analyst estimates beat, fastest revenue growth, and highest full year guidance raise among its peers. The company added 376 enterprise customers paying more than $2,000 annually to a total of 12,754. The stock is down 20.1% since the results and currently trades at $20.68.

Squarespace reported revenues of $207.4 million, up 20.3% year on year, in line with analyst expectations. It was a weak quarter for the company, with a decline in gross margin and underwhelming guidance for the next year.
Squarespace had the weakest full year guidance update in the group. The stock is up 14.4% since the results and currently trades at $25.99.
Founded by Bob Parsons after selling his first company to Intuit, GoDaddy (NYSE:GDDY) provides small and mid-sized businesses with the ability to buy a web domain and tools to create and manage a website.
GoDaddy reported revenues of $1.01 billion, up 16.6% year on year, beating analyst expectations by 4.74%. It was a weak quarter for the company, with a decline in gross margin and an underwhelming revenue guidance for the next quarter.

Scumbag For Hire Volume 1 by Keenan Marshall Keller
SCUMBAG For Hire is set in a noir-ish world of a private detective, whom encounters endlessly weird characters while working on absurdly surreal cases.
Kafka-esque touches of mad paranoia and dream logic mixed with the rough and "ugly but amazing" nature of the artwork creates a tone unlike any other comics on the stand.
A subconscious exploration into themes of identity, the bureaucracy of humanity, and the endless search for meaning within absurdist surroundings.
It's like David Lynch trying to create is won Dick Tracy comic made up solely from his nightmares while high on cough syrup...

The stegosaur watched the beetle flick open its hard outer wings and extend the flight wings underneath. She watched the beetle launch himself into the air and hover, floating to and fro before he droned away. She watched in study of the beetle’s ability. And she watched in envy of the beetle’s ability.
She heard pebbles shifting behind her, but she did not turn.
“You’re looking in the wrong direction,” a voice said.
The stegosaur smiled and swung her head around.
“If you want to fly, there’s the way,” said the little limusaurus. She tossed her head back as she strode over to the stegosaur.

Oddnever adjusted her spectacles, tucked in her wings, rolled open her scroll, and touched the tip of her quill to her tongue. She peered into the mirror that was set in the modest front room of her modest abode within an acorn tree. That mirror had been locked so that she was only able to look through it, not step through it. Oddnever was, after all, different from other sprites. She could be trusted and relied upon. She was capable of focusing for long stretches of time. And she was thought to be too slow to evade the human gaze—likely because she was taller than was typical for her kind. Therefore she was forbidden from visiting the human realm.
While she wasn’t generally mischievous, Oddnever was keenly curious.

- Educate me with ideas or perspectives
- Collaborated with me.
It indicates that the seller, as a person, brought something worthwhile to the table.
Do you have a sales team? Who on your team do you feel accomplishes this consistently?
The findings strongly suggest that solution selling isn’t dead at all. Collaborate means “working together to achieve a common goal. Doesn’t that sound or feel like solution selling?
Recall the chart provided in What Sales Winners Do Differently: Connect. The two points above, “Educated me with new ideas or perspectives.” and “Collaborated with me” represent the #1 and #2 gaps between winners and those salespeople who finish in second place.
A buyer, who perceives the seller brings something new to the table, it means there’s something the buyer hadn’t previously considered. What the research indicates is that when this occurs, sellers have a huge advantage. When done best, the right new ideas can shape the buyer’s belief systems and approaches to action. The result, the seller has tremendous influence.
The RAINGroup’s research discovered educating with new ideas while not a unique advantage, it is still uncommon. Only about 21% of buyers strongly agreed that the winners “Educated me with new ideas or perspectives”, while only 7.4% of buyers felt that second place finishers provided this. It suggests there’s room for improvement here, and perhaps the recognition of this being so powerful will provide a thrust for the sales people to take advantage of this action. Certainly the survey results suggest they reap great rewards from being able to provide this distinction to buyers.
When the RAINGroup asked company leaders, “What’s your greatest opportunity for revenue growth?” they often say that if they could sell things proactively versus reactively to both new and existing consumers they’ll have tremendous revenue growth.
Recall from the RAINGroup.com research the three levels of selling behaviors and outcomes that set winners apart from second place finishers.
Collaborating makes the seller a key component of the buyer’s success. Just think how valuable it would be to achieve collaboration as your sales people work with your prospects to select your product or service as the right solution.
Once the buyer sees the seller as an important member of the team, and moves the sale forward as a common goal, the likelihood of buying in general and buying from that seller increases dramatically. It is extremely difficult to unseat that provider from the account. This is why collaboration is the pinnacle of Level 3 Selling skills.
No matter what industry you may be in, selling more to existing customers represents possibly your greatest opportunity for revenue growth. Why aren’t your existing customers buying the additional offerings? It’s usually up to the seller to create the opportunity and drive the demand themselves.
The seller is responsible for driving demand and that requires sellers to be proactive. They can’t inspire buyers unless they educate them with new ideas and perspectives. If and when they do, and the buyer believes they seller is collaborating with them, ownership of the idea actually shifts from the seller to the buyer. At this point, the idea, previously not on the buyer’s agenda becomes important.
The RAINGroup provides insights into bringing this all together. First while sales people can be trained to acquire the sales skills and knowledge, capability doesn’t always mean they will actually put the skills to use in practice. Second, to build a winning sale team and train sales people at all three levels, requires coaching. Particularly level three Collaboration requires coaching and training. However hiring the right people is just as critical. It’s another reason Positioning Systems recommends Objective Management Group’s sales evaluation and screen tests for candidates to ensure you have and get the right people on the bus.

As I previously shared with you, the Archdiocese has been reviewing the Southeast Deaneries on how to best align the parishes to support its parishioners and our community with the diminishing number of priests we have.
I recently met with Archbishop Lucas regarding the realignment and the changes impacting Sts. Peter and Paul and St Mary. He shared with me the decision to include Our Lady of Guadalupe and Assumption parishes into our current grouping. This re-alignment will be effective July 1, 2020.
The combining of these parishes, where most of the parishioners are Spanish speakers and/or bilingual, will require a fluent bilingual pastor to oversee. With this comes a change in the pastoral duties. Fr. William (Bill) Bond, currently the Pastor at St. Joseph, is bilingual and will become the
pastor of the Sts. Peter and Paul, St. Mary, and Assumption-Guadalupe parishes. He was ordained in 1999. Fr. Bisbee and I will remain here to support the parishes and its parishioners.
Archbishop Lucas asked that I continue my priestly work with you and help with the administrative responsibilities for the parishes and other responsibilities yet to be determined. He emphasized numerous times that the reason for this change is the language barrier I have right now, and I fully support his decision. I am personally looking forward to working with Fr. Bond to serve all of the parishioners in the new alignment of parishes that are in the heart of South Omaha.
As with any transition, it will take time and patience. I ask for your continued prayers as we integrate our parish communities. I am looking forward to continuing my work with all of you and pray the transition in the upcoming months goes smoothly. If you have questions regarding this change,
please reach out to me to discuss.
God bless you.

If you want to know more about Prince’s Telecaster, you’ve come to the right post!
The Prince’s Telecaster
Although we mostly remember Prince as a pop star and a singer, he was also a highly-skilled guitar player. And just like most guitar players, he had his preferred guitar model.
Now, for the most part, Prince preferred Telecasters. Of course, among these were some Fenders. However, the most famous one was the Hohner Madcat model, which is a Tele-style guitar.
Going Down the Rabbit Hole
The instrument model technically has two names. Firstly, it could be called a Hohner copy of Fender Telecaster. The other name is H.S. Anderson Madcat. But you may also find other names for it like Morris or Morris Hurricane. So what’s the deal here?
Hohner, or Hohner Musikinstrumente GmbH & Co. KG is an old German instrument brand. They started selling electric guitars sometime in the 1950s. H.S. Anderson, on the other hand, was a relatively smaller brand of electric guitars, started by Toshio Moridaira in Japan. Moridaira founded his guitar factory called Morris, which manufactured these instruments. In the late 1960s, they started selling Japanese-made guitars for the US market. After achieving success with the Madcat Tele-style in the early 1970s, Moridaira sold H.S. Anderson rights to Hohner.
And that’s when Hohner started making their Madcat Tele. Although the design was the same, the guitars had a Hohner brand logo on them.
However, the production didn’t last very long. The model was a complete rip-off of Fender’s Telecaster. Not long after starting, the whole idea was abandoned. So these guitars are pretty rare. In fact, the story goes that there are only 500 of these old early-1970s Hohner and H.S. Anderson Madcat guitars. So they’re highly valued by collectors.
When Prince became a superstar, H.S. Anderson revived the model. And the brand was, to my knowledge, still under the Hohner ownership.
The story here gets a bit murky. There’s proof of later variants made by H.S. Anderson. These had different headstocks to avoid legal troubles with Fender. There are records of variants from the 1980s and the H.S. Anderson brand reissued them in the 2010s as well. But this is a whole different rabbit hole that’s better left for a different article.
At the same time, these later 1980s Madcasts also didn’t have the quality of those old original models from the 1970s. Bill Lawrence had a similar Madcat, although these were reportedly better. Finally, H.S. Anderson made The Artist and The Artist Elite variants for later reissues.
Prince’s Madcat Telecaster
Prince was one of the lucky few to get their hands on a Hohner Madcat Tele model. However, it’s hard to point out when he actually got it. Some sources claim that it was in 1980, while others say that it was in 1983. What some have pointed out is that the serial number is, allegedly, 217791. This would mean that the guitar was made back in 1977.
But things get complicated again. After all, it’s Prince who we’re talking about. Now, there’s his original old Madcat. Over the years, he had different recreations of these guitars made for him. Additionally, it is believed that he has at least one more of the Hohner H.S. Anderson original Madcats.
Guitar builder Roger Sadowsky has made two completely identical replicas of the original guitar. All the details are there, including the finish and all the other visual details. He also had a few other copies done, although these weren’t exact replicas but rather restyled models.
Some Known Specs
These original Madcat Telecasters reportedly had maple tops, walnut center, and Japanese sen sides. Some sources, however, also claim that the sides were from ash. Along with this came a regular maple neck with a maple fingerboard.
The bridge on this Tele was a hardtail one. Its design is very similar to regular Fender 6- saddle hardtail bridges. There was the classic pickup configuration, two single-coil pickups. Along with that came your regular Telecaster-style control plate. There was a 3-way switch, a volume knob, and a tone knob.
But what Prince cared about were the looks. The pickguard’s color pattern could be difficult to describe. While some would call it tortoiseshell, it had some serious leopard fur vibes. This came in handy for Prince as he loved to wear fake fur for his shows. In fact, many say that he cared more about the looks rather than the tone and functionality.
The pickups, however, are a whole different story. In the earlier days, Prince used the stock Hohner pickups. Reportedly, this lasted for a relatively long time. After that, he had Fender’s Vintage Noiseless pickups. And after that came Kinman Traditional single-coils. There’s reportedly another feature in there, an additional single-coil hidden under the pickguard.
I cannot confirm this. But it makes sense if he wanted to have a noiseless operation, a jangly tone, and still keep the regular Telecaster looks. Furthermore, there are reports of the original Madcat being fitted with an internal wireless unit. He allegedly had this added to the guitar for the “Purple Rain” tour.
The Mysteries Surrounding Prince and His Guitars
The short of it is that Prince was a secretive person. He rarely ever spoke about his instruments or most of the other stuff that people wanted to know about him. Therefore, it’s really difficult to confirm most of the information here with 100% certainty.
The current whereabouts of his original Madcat Tele are unknown. But I would bet that it’s safely stored in his Paisley Park vault in Minnesota. And that’s probably the case for some of his other Madcat replicas.
Takumi Suetsugu, Prince’s longtime guitar tech, shared a few occasional words about this Tele. One thing that he noted was that this was one of the best Telecasters that he ever played.
The original Madcat was reportedly used on the famous 2004 performance at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. After ending the solo for “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” Prince threw the instrument from the stage. Takumi caught it and, as instructed by Prince, he gave the instrument to Oprah Winfrey. While some may believe that the guitar is still in her possession, she likely gave it back to Prince. But, again, it’s not something that I can confirm.
What I can say for sure is that this is one hell of a guitar. And, most importantly, Takumi Suetsugu took great care of it, making it one of Prince’s most important tools.

Matt purchased a rundown hotel in a downtown city in order to rebuild it into condos. He hired Marcos to implode the building. Marcos was very careful to ensure that there were warning signs and blocks creating a restricted area, to avoid any pedestrians or trespassers near the building during the implosion. In fact, Marcos is known for being more careful than the average company when it comes to implosions. Bill, a teenager who likes to explore, saw the signs but decided he wanted to be close to see the building implode. He disregarded the signs, and moved past the restricted area, closer to the building. As the building imploded, he was hit by a piece of debris and suffered a concussion.
What claims, if any, does Bill have against Matt and Marcos?

Whether in novels, movies or plays, the villains usually leave some negative impressions on the audience so that the villains basically become the most unpopular roles in the works. Because the audiences easily produce subjective consciousness following the villains’ performances in the stories, they are used to ignoring the factor that the villains also could be the victims at the same time.
In the play The Crucible written by Arthur Miller, Abigail Williams is a controversial villain because she is both a typical instigator of the accusations and a victim of the Puritan society at the same time. Firstly, Abigail’s heartrending life experiences and the Puritan society environment which she lives in build her complex character. Secondly, in the affair between her and Proctor, Abigail not only loses love but also she is hated by her lover. First of all, the unpleasant past and the Puritan environment build Abigail’s complex character. To begin with, she is ruthless because it can be shown from her attitude towards the other girlsof Salem.
In order to prevent other girls from speaking out what they have done against the puritanical rules in the forest, she threatens these girls, “[…] I saw Indians smash my dear parents’ heads on the pillow next to mine, and I have seen some reddish work done at night, and I can make you wish had never seen the sun go down!” (Miller 20) A normal girl should never say about that. It is so early for Abigail to experience such a cruel scene as a young child.
Her parents’ death greatly affects her, as a result of which this event is likely to leave a wound on her heart. She also gradually becomes ruthless because of that. In addition, the children of Puritan society were never valued by their parents and their physical and psychological health would not be developed very well. Like her contemporaries, Abigail lacks care from her uncle in her childhood.
She is adopted by her uncle Parris Williams who a priest in Salem. At the beginning of the play, the narrator said:“He was a widower with no interest in children, or talent with them. […] like the rest of Salem, never conceived that the children were anything […] (Miller 4). Parris never cares about Abigail’s growing up and only cares about his wealth and reputation in Salem. Without the correct guidance, Abigail has to face and solve every problem she may meet in her life by herself. Even though she uses some wrongful means to achieve her purpose, she never cares about whether they are correct or not, because nobody enlightens her how to face these difficult situations. For example, when Parris asks her what they really have done in the forest, because she fears being punished, she instigates the other girls to cover up the truth, even accusing those innocent people when they are interrogated who are the devils’ servants. Moreover, the Puritanical rules restricts the entertainments of the children’s.
This also evokes these girls’， especially Abigail so that they want to seek some exciting activities somewhere.Therefore, the identity of being an orphan and her miserable childhood experiences cause the ruthless and dishonest character of Abigail, and make her become a victim of the Puritan society. Furthermore, Abigail is a victim in the love affair because she loses her reputation and gets nothing in the end. Firstly, Abigail loses her innocence in villager’s eyes of Salem. When her uncle Parris is talking about her name, Parris mentions Proctor’s wife Elizabeth and he said: “she comes so rarely to the church this year for she will not sit so close to something soiled. […] that you are now seven months out of their house, and in all this time no other family has ever called for your service (Miller 12). This shows that Abigail has lost her reputation in Salem. Her affair with John Proctor is already known by many people and this event causes nobody would like to employ her. As an unmarried girl, innocence is very important, unlike Proctor who has married Elizabeth. In her future life, no one would like to marry such a soiled girl. At the end of the play, Abigail’s ending is tragic: “The legend has it that Abigail turned up later as a prostitute in Boston” (Miller ECHOES DOWN THE COORIDOR). She has paid her reputation for love but she still loses Proctor’s love. When Danforth asks where he and Abigail’s affair happened, Proctor tells the truth: In the proper place –where my beasts are bedded.
On the last night of my joy, some eight months past. […] I beg you, sir, I beg you—see what she is. My wife, my dear good wife, took this girl soon after, sir, and put her out on the highroad. And being what she is, a lump of vanity […] (Miller 110). John Proctor would rather sacrifice his reputation than harming those innocent people including his wife. He makes his mind up to save Elizabeth and expose the Abigail’s true face at the same time. This reveals Proctor’s emotions toward Abigail at this time. There is not any love is remained in his heart, only anger and hatred. Abigail is a loser in love: she loses Proctor. She is too young and impulsive so that she never considers the consequences when she falls in love with Proctor who cannot bring her anything she wants. Thus, she gets nothing. All in all, although Abigail is a villain in this play, she is also a victim of Puritan society.

When it comes to New Balance sneakers, two sneaker models often come to mind: the 574 and the 515. The former is a timeless classic while the latter is a modern lightweight sneaker. Because of this, many sneakerheads often compare them. So which one is better?
New Balance 574 vs. 515 comparisons:
The biggest difference between the New Balance 574 and 515 is the cushioning technology. The 574 uses ENCAP midsole which is tough and durable. The 515, on the other hand, uses Fresh Foam which is very lightweight and ultra-cushioned.
With that said, there is more to this sneaker comparison than just the cushioning system. Important factors, like comfort and design, should be carefully considered when choosing which New Balance sneaker comes out on top. Let’s compare NB 574 vs. 515.
Table of Contents
New Balance 574 vs. 515 Comparison:
Comparing two popular sneakers from New Balance is no easy task. But to make your decision simpler and easier, we will compare both sneakers based on three categories: comfort, design, and cushioning. Here is the NB 574 vs. 515 comparisons:
1. Comfort and Fit
The New Balance 574 (left) is noticeably shorter than the 515 (right), even though both shoes are the same size.
New Balance 574 Comfort
As far as comfort goes, the New Balance 574 is good, but not great. The uppers are made of suede, so they are not as breathable as we would like. However, after wearing them several times, they get more comfortable. They are comfortable for walking, but not for running.
After wearing the 574, we feel like they were not true to size.
The New Balance 574 runs small so we recommend buying one size up. As you can see in the picture above, the New Balance 574 on the left is noticeably shorter than the New Balance 515 on the right, even though both shoes are the same size.
So to avoid your feet becoming cramped, it’s best to buy one size up.
New Balance 515 Comfort
Right off the bat, you will notice that the New Balance 515 is much lighter than the 574. This is because the uppers are made of breathable mesh, perfect for casual walking or light running. The shape of the shoes is streamlined, so it hugs your feet effortlessly.
We like the fit of the New Balance 515, and we feel like they are true to size. So if you’re considering the New Balance 515, buy your exact shoe size.
Another aspect that we like about the New Balance 515 is its flexibility. Due to its lightweight mesh upper, the shoes conform to your feet amazingly well, giving you enough ankle protection to support your active lifestyle. Overall, it is a comfortable pair of shoes.
Verdict on Comfort
The New Balance 515 has a better fit and is more comfortable than the New Balance 574. Thanks to its lightweight frame and breathable materials, the 515 tops the 574 simply because it is easier on your feet and provides better support for walking long hours.
2. Aesthetics and Design
New Balance 574
Aesthetics and design are very subjective simply because everyone has different opinions of what a good-looking sneaker looks like. However, it’s hard to argue the significance of the New Balance 574 because it is a timeless classic that has stood the test of time.
Many sneakerheads consider the New Balance 574 an icon. In fact, it is considered the “OG Dad Shoe”. It is a shoe praised for its beautiful design, finished with appealing suede material to match. In addition to the 574 Core version, it has many different colorways.
In short, the New Balance 574 is iconic and popular.
New Balance 515 Design
While the 574 is considered a classic, the 515 is often praised for its revolutionary and versatile design. It is a modern pair of trainers designed for people with an active lifestyle. The design is effortlessly stylish, yet it provides the features needed for running or jogging.
The thing we like the most about the New Balance 515 is its modern design. The bright New Balance logo pops out on the uppers, effortlessly complementing your favorite looks. In fact, we like the V2 better than the V1 because it is more eye-catching.
Verdict on Design
This is a tough one, but the New Balance 574 has a better design than the 515. Both sneakers are appealing, but we have to give the nod to the iconic New Balance 574 because it is the OG. That said, you can just go with the shoe design you like better.
New Balance 574 Cushioning
The New Balance 574 uses ENCAP, which is a midsole technology that combines a supportive, durable rim of polyurethane and a soft, cushioning core of EVA.
Because of this technology, the ENCAP midsole is known for its toughness among New Balance shoes, providing extra support and durability.
However, it is very tough, so you may need some time to break into the shoes. The New Balance 574’s cushioning was hard on our feet, especially when they were brand new out of the box. Only after a few wears did we find them comfortable enough for our feet.
New Balance 515 Cushioning
The New Balance 515, on the other hand, uses the Fresh Foam cushioning technology. It provides an ultra-plush and flexible feel, creating a super comfortable and lightweight fit. Not only is it perfect for casual runs, but it is also ideal for long hours on your feet.
While our testers needed some time to break into the 574, they did not waste any time finding comfort with the 515. This is the advantage of the Fresh Foam midsole. It provides the perfect balance between walking on clouds and secure protection for your feet.
Verdict on Cushioning
The New Balance 515 has better cushioning than the 574. We like the Fresh Foam more than the ENCAP midsole simply because the former is easier on your feet than the latter. If you are going to wear the shoes for long hours, the New Balance 515 is the better choice.
WINNER: New Balance 515
New Balance 515 (buy on Amazon)
- Lightweight and flexible midsole
- Fresh Foam Technology
- Shoes are true to size
While the New Balance 574 has better aesthetics thanks to its popularity, the New Balance 515 came out on top because of its exceptional comfort and superior cushioning. The New Balance 515 is your ideal day-to-day casual sneaker.
And there you have it, the New Balance 574 vs. 515 comparisons. Our sneaker testers had a fun time researching and testing both amazing shoes from New Balance. We recommend the New Balance 515 over the 574 simply because it is more comfortable.

If you don’t have a horror movie marathon in the last week of October then you aren’t doing Halloween right. Every year Hollywood releases its finest horror movies around this time of the year in hopes to be the next cult classic like Beetlejuice or IT. While some people like to stick to the same classics that they have been watching for a long time others need some new recommendations. Don’t worry our list won’t be recycling those same old movies that you are watching everywhere. We have compiled a list of six underrated horror movies that you need to watch ASAP.
If you don’t like typical horror movies where violence surpasses the level of thrill then Jakob’s Wife is the perfect movie for you. Anna (Barbara Crampton) truly lives in the shadow of her husband, the minister of a small town. She feels a sense of emptiness after devoting thirty years of her life to Pastor Jakob Fedder as a dutiful wife. Then everything flips after she meets The Master. The change in her is so evident that it makes Jakob realize that something is off with his wife. This change is also related to the number of growing murders in their town.
Art inspired by real-life events is plausible only to a certain extent. In this movie, Femke Boot (Katja Herbers) is taking inspiration from the disturbing acts she’s committing at night. She had promised a book to her publisher but couldn’t write it after reading all the negative comments online. This constant trolling sparks a violent streak in her and things get out of control.
In The Earth
If you want to see the movie equivalent of 2020 then you should watch In The Earth. In the movie, the world has been struck with a fatal virus with no cure to be found. Things go absolutely haywire when a park scout and a scientist get stuck inside the forest. There are paranormal activities going on around them and they have absolutely no way out.
Most horror movies take place in an abandoned house, dingy motel, or a dark forest but the prime location of Willy’s Wonderland is a family fun center. A loner (Nicholas Cage) agrees to clean the fun center when he couldn’t pay money for his repaired car. Soon he discovers that this isn’t an ordinary entertainment center especially when he comes face to face with possessed animatronic creatures. This film is ideal for those who don’t want to be too scared to sleep after watching a horror movie.
Last Night In Soho
Who said horror films cannot be glamorous? Last Night In Soho is a rather stylish horror film with a twisted plotline. Eloise (Thomasin McKenzie) wants to be a fashion designer who has mysteriously entered into the era of the 60s. There she meets an aspiring singer Sandie who is nothing short of an alluring mystery. As the film progresses Eloise discovers that behind all the dazzling glamour something sinister is going on.
Critics have described The Stylist as an unusually sharp thriller, this alone should be enough to plan this movie for your next horror watch party. Claire (Najarra Townsend) has always idolized other people’s life. Most people know her as the hairstylist but only her victims learned before their death that she is also a serial killer. But things escalate quickly when one of her regular clients Olivia (Brea Grant) wants her to style her hair on her big day. Claire decided that Olivia would be her last victim and after that, she’ll change her ways. But sadly dark side of the brain isn’t an easier thing to suppress as Claire learned the hard way.
The Boy Behind the Door
The Boy Behind The Door celebrates all the classic elements of a horror movie. It thrives on the anticipation of every character’s next move. It is a movie for you if want to see a horror movie without all the blood and bodies. Two 12-year-old friends Bobby (Lonnie Chavis) and Kevin (Ezra Dewey) get kidnapped while they were going back to home from school. When they reach the place where they were supposed to be held captive Bobby somehow manages to get away. Instead of running away, he embarks on a suicide mission to rescue Kevin.

Glowforge Projects, Cutting Designs, Patterns, and Templates
Below are some free Glowforge cutting and engraving ideas and projects.
What Is a Glowforge?
Glowforge is a wireless laser printer. It utilizes a cutting-edge laser for cutting various materials in a way that’s not possible with others tools. Through this, you can create eye-catching stunning designs from paper, cardboard, leather, acrylic, and even wood. Apart from cutting materials, you can also use the Glowforge to etch and score for generating gorgeous designs for your projects.
Glowforge produces the best results with materials ¼” and less on a single pass. It can accept material as thick as ½”, but you may have to flip the material over or need multiple passes. When engraving, you can take out the tray and insert objects up to 2″ inch, after which it can engrave the surface up to 0.5″, based on the material.
So far, Glowforge is available in three different models: the Basic, the Plus, and the Pro.
The Glowforge Basic is a good machine to start with if you are new to 3D laser cutting. With cutting support for dozens of materials, it is ideal for home use. Keep in mind that it’s rated as a class 1 laser product.
The Glowforge Plus is a good machine if you are looking for a more premium experience. It comes with upgraded components and a speedy engraving speed that is two-fold in speed in comparison to the Basic model. The Plus model is also categorized as a Class 1 laser product.
The Glowforge Plus is the most formidable and capable of all the Glowforge models. Although it retains the same size, you can print massive objects by using the Pro Passthrough slot. Because of its state-of-the-art cooling system, this model excels in terms of durability – it can run the whole day without breaking sweat. Other feature includes enhanced laser capability and upgraded components, which makes it three times faster than the Basic as well as cuts 1.2 times faster.
What Can You Cut with Glowforge?
Glowforge cuts a wide range of materials, including rubber, mylar, Delrin (acetal), Plexiglas (acrylic), paper, leather, fabric, wood, Corian, foods, and others. You can also engrave these materials along with titanium, marble, coated metal, glass, laptops, tablets, and phones.
There is also the category of Proofgrade materials. According to Glowforge, these materials are ideal for use when it comes to its printer. These include leather, plywood, acrylic, hardwood, and others. Proofgrade materials are calibrated and sized to work effectively with Glowforge. This means that when you add a piece of Proofgrade material into your Glowforge, it will process the material’s QR code and attempt to recognize it. If the machine recognizes the material as Proofgrade, it will cut it automatically without requiring any form of manual intervention.
You can etch some metals via Glowforge, such as anodized aluminum. However, with stainless steel, you may need to spray a product like Cermark. This method is used to discolor the metals, but it doesn’t engrave them away. This lends excellent smoothness to the surface.
Glowforge is compatible with PDF, SVG, PNG, JPG, and other file formats. You can begin with something basic, such as clip art or a hand-drawn image. However, if you are looking to make money, your best bet is to get ready-to-print Glowforge designs. For this purpose, you can go through our designs below.

How’s your hearing? If you’ve been struggling to follow conversations with your loved ones or have started sleeping through your alarm in the mornings, you may have hearing loss. It’s more common than you think, and there are around 48 million Americans who have a hearing loss. Be on the lookout for these signs of hearing loss so you’ll be able to identify your hearing loss right away.
The Early Warning Signs of Hearing Loss
Hearing loss often creeps up on you, and you may not notice it at first. Your brain works hard to help you hear and it makes accommodations to help you hear when your hearing begins to change. Watch for these early warning signs of hearing loss and schedule a hearing test the moment you notice any changes to your hearing health.
Your family notices your hearing loss: You may think you’ll be the first to realize your hearing has changed, but your family will actually notice your hearing loss long before you do. While you can’t always recognize the small daily changes to your hearing or realize you can’t hear all the small sounds around you, your family will start to notice that you don’t hear them from another room, or that you mishear what’s been said more often than usual.
Asking people to repeat themselves: Another early sign of hearing loss is asking people to repeat themselves. You used to hear clearly in conversations, but now you often find yourself scrambling to understand all the words, and you’ll struggle to hear all the consonant sounds to actually understand what’s being said.
Blaming others for mumbling: As your hearing abilities change, you may start to think that everyone around you is mumbling. You tell people to speak up, or ask them to speak more clearly. While it’s nice to pretend it’s someone else’s fault, the truth is that if all your loved ones have been mumbling recently, the problem is likely with your ears, not with your friends.
Turning up the volume on the TV: Have you started turning up the volume on the TV? You may start with small increases, but if you’re watching TV with the volume far louder than a month ago, you have hearing loss. You’ll also realize you’ve been turning up the volume on the phone and the car stereo, and struggle to hear your favorite show or radio program.
Other Signs of Hearing Loss
As your hearing changes, you’ll struggle to follow conversations in places with a lot of background noise. You may be able to hear during one-on-one conversations, but when you’re with friends in a crowded restaurant you have a hard time keeping up with the conversation, identifying who’s speaking, or even hearing the conversation over all the background noise.
Another sign of hearing loss is changing hobbies. If you have hearing loss, you probably don’t enjoy going to movies or concerts anymore. It’s difficult to hear what’s being said on screen, and even at a concert the music has lost some of its rich, full sound. You may start some solitary hobbies, and find yourself spending more and more time alone.
As your hearing loss worsens, you’ll start to notice changes in your relationships. The key to maintaining close connections is communication, and when you have hearing loss you aren’t able to interact with your loved ones like you used to. Frequently mishearing what’s been said and interrupting to ask your loved one to repeat themselves can lead to conflict and frustration, and it won’t be long before communication breaks down.
Those with hearing loss risk social isolation, as they feel cut off from their friends, don’t enjoy deep connections with their loved ones, and often choose to stay at home rather than meeting friends for dinner or drinks. This can lead to feelings of loneliness, anxiety, and even depression.
Treating Hearing Loss
If any of these signs of hearing loss sound familiar, its time to treat your hearing loss! Don’t be embarrassed to meet your friends, or struggle to hear conversations, but take control of your hearing health. Find the hearing aids that will help you hear clearly in every situation, and allow you to enjoy life to the fullest. | <urn:uuid:0aa9e089-8f35-4bba-9372-66b52b75539c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://suncoastaudiology.com/identifying-signs-of-hearing-loss/ | 2023-09-28T17:02:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.94905 | 901 |
Why do hair fall?
Each strand of hair sits in a skin hole named follicle and each of them has a growth cycle. Generally, baldness occurs when the hair follicle shrinks over time, resulting in shorter and finer hair and eventually the growth cycle for each hair ends and no new hair grows in its place.
There are other several potential causes that may leads to hair loss:
- It is related to genes or having family history of baldness.
- It is associated with male sex hormones called androgens as regulating hair growth is one of the functions of androgens.
- It is due to unhealthy diet, nutrient deficiency, or physical/emotional stress.
What is the pattern?
It usually follows a pattern of receding hairline that forms a rough “M” shape, and then hair thinning on the crown. In some men, the hairline will continue recede until all or most of the hair is gone.
Can hair loss be prevented?
There is no known way to prevent hair loss but we can at least slow down the progress.
Caring actively for your hair
- Wash hair regularly with mild shampoo and wash thoroughly to keep hair and scalp clean, reducing chances of scalp infection.
- Check for the ingredients and choose the suitable shampoo according to your hair and scalp type (normal/dry/oily)
- Try a scalp massage as rubbing and kneading scalp boost blood circulation and allow hair follicles to get plenty of nutrients.
Eating right for healthy hair
- Have a healthy balanced diet
- Ensure sufficient intake of iron, vitamin C, protein, omega-3 fatty acids and biotin. These are important for maintaining healthy and strong hair plus promote hair growth.
- Avoid eating artificial sweetener (aspartame), MSG and food additives/colouring. These can cause hair thinning and hair loss.

American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS)
April 16, 2018
Vitamin D contributes to many important functions in the body, including the absorption of calcium and improvement of bone strength. According to a new review article published in the April 15, 2018, issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (JAAOS), vitamin D supplements help to increase muscle strength in athletes who are vitamin D deficient. Higher vitamin D levels have also been linked to reducing injury and improving athletic performance.
“Vitamin D deficiency commonly affects many people around the world,” said lead study author and orthopaedic surgeon Geoffrey D. Abrams, MD. “With higher serum levels of vitamin D playing a role in muscle strength, injury prevention, and sports performance, it’s essential for individuals to take necessary steps to ensure they’re getting an adequate amount of vitamin D intake, whether through direct sunlight or other sources including fish, eggs, fortified dairy products, and dietary supplements. Studies also have shown that daily vitamin D supplements are proven to be more effective than weekly or monthly doses.”
Vitamin D is measured using the 25- hydroxy vitamin D test using nanomoles per liter (nmol/L) or nanograms per millilitre (ng/mL). According to the Endocrine Society’s clinical practice guideline for the evaluation, prevention, and treatment of vitamin D deficiency,
· less than 20 ng/mL (50 nmol/L) is deficient,
· 21 to 29 ng/mL (50 to 75 nmol/L) is insufficient, and
· 30 ng/mL (75 nmol/L) is considered a normal level.
People with very low vitamin D blood levels may be more likely to experience muscle cramps, bone pain, or joint pain. The review article authors highlight findings across several studies to determine the effect of vitamin D in three categories:
· Muscle Strength. One study examined 310 participants with an average age of 24 years. Participants had a mean vitamin D level of 12.3 ng/mL and received either vitamin D3 or placebo supplements. Their upper and lower body strength were assessed with isokinetic dynamometers, a tool used to test the performance of different muscle groups. Results found that vitamin D supplementation in these athletes resulted in increased upper and lower body strength.
· Sports Performance. Another study investigated the effect of vitamin D on sports performance by looking at 80 American professional football players and their ability to obtain a professional contract. Seventy-seven percent of these athletes were vitamin D deficient or insufficient. The authors of that study found a statistically significant correlation between lower vitamin D levels and the athlete’s release from a team due to poor performance or injury before the start of the regular season. An additional study assessed the effect of vitamin D on a group of athletes who received 5,000 International Units (IU) per day of vitamin D over an 8-week period. Seventy percent of these athletes had a vitamin D level of less than 20 ng/mL. Findings for this study showed that the group receiving vitamin D supplementation had increased vertical jump heights throughout the study, whereas the placebo group experienced no change.
· The risk of injury. Another study looked at 1,000 Royal Marine recruits in the United Kingdom to evaluate the association between vitamin D levels and risk of stress fracture. The study identified 92 stress fractures and found that recruits with vitamin D levels of less than 20 ng/mL had a 60 percent higher incidence of stress fractures than recruits with greater vitamin D concentrations.
“While vitamin D supplementation improves function and decreases fracture risk in people who are vitamin D deficient, it’s important for individuals to be aware of the safe dosage amount, which varies with age and the status of an individual’s current vitamin D level,” explains Dr. Abrams. “We are not advocating for athletes to take additional vitamin D without first speaking with a doctor.” | <urn:uuid:de07efc6-ce0f-4255-b047-1e944039fc8b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://superdoctors.com/article/Increased-Vitamin-D-Intake-Improves-Muscle-Strength-and-Athletic-Performance/95b2e55f-49c8-4480-a791-009ae7fe2580.html | 2023-09-28T18:01:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.924387 | 818 |

- Generation-1-Curt any kickstand will fit on the Curt, provided it has its own mounting plate, a local bike shop can help you find the right product.
- For Generation 2-Curt we can not recommend a kickstand. Necessary frame design changes from Generation 1 to Generation 2 made the bottom bracket triangle smaller, thus a kickstand with a mounting plate can not be installed. Other options have not been tested by us.
- Generation-1-Curt is not optionally fitted with panniers from the factory, but it does have mounts for them – a local bike shop can help you find the right one for you.
- For Generation 2-Curt, as well as all other Generation 2 models, we offer an optional rear carrier, which is fitted from the factory. This carrier does not fit on older models.
The Ampler Curt e-bike is designed to be fast and lightweight, stripped of all excess.

I will add though that I do not see the small night market or another pub/club/bar helping the farang owned places. Mainly Thais will frequent those. Plus parking will again be difficult. I never saw Speed 3 as being very advantageous for the places along the soi either. The youngsters going there spent their money in Speed 3 and ate mostly from the few street stalls around there or before going there later in the evening after eating elsewhere. It never seemed to help Norby's business and actually he hated it due to the parking of the thousand or so motocykes there and the fights and trouble caused by the drunken youths.I heard the same. | <urn:uuid:c0fb1aa5-4d9f-4331-9c73-c799c1377a52> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://surinfarang.com/forum/threads/i-am-selling-my-restaurant-in-surin.32257/page-2 | 2023-09-28T16:53:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.972897 | 135 |

ADDRESS: 521 SW 2nd Street, Corvallis, OR 97333
PHONE NUMBER: 541-752-7720
OWNER: Kent Buys
YEAR ESTABLISHED: 1970
NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES: 1.5 (two part-time)
WHAT THEY SELL: Fine instruments and accessories (guitars, mandolins, banjos, dulcimers, violins), quality restoration and repair, books, lessons
WHY YOU SHOULD GO: The quantity and variety of stringed instruments is amazing, and the owner is a highly skilled craftsman who has a strong love of his art and the community he serves.
Walk into the Troubadour, and you will be immediately struck by the impressive display of violins, guitars, and other stringed instruments that adorn the walls of this long-time Corvallis business. After being warmly welcomed by owner Kent Buys, his son Ryan, or Carson Wille, you’ll want to take some time simply to wander around the store, which includes exotic stringed instruments from around the world. Whether you’re an accomplished violinist in need of an instrument repair, a banjo player who wants a new set of strings, or someone who has always dreamed of playing the guitar, the Troubadour Music Center is a jewel that’s sure to meet your needs.
Kent, when and why did you start your business? In 1967, I began to work part-time with Ellen Chase Harper (Ben Harper’s mother), and her father and mother, Charles and Dorothy Chase, who owned the Folk Music Center in Claremont, California. I learned to repair, restore, and build instruments at the same time that I was working on a three-year Master’s degree at the Southern California School of Theology in Claremont. I became addicted to repairing and restoring instruments. In 1970, I moved to Corvallis and opened the Troubadour with my good friend and high school buddy, Larry Edgar, who later became the Allann Brothers quality roast master for 35 years. Our original store was in the alley off Adams, between 2nd and 3rd Street. There’s still an inscription written in the cement there.
What are your specialties? We specialize in anything with strings. We sell some of the finest new and used instruments in the world, as well as inexpensive, well-constructed beginners’ instruments. We also provide instrument repair and restoration, using structural and finish skills that have taken 45 years to learn.
What challenges have you faced as an independent local business owner? I think federal and state taxes are too high for independent business owners and family luthier/craftsman/retail shops like ours.
What is the impact of local independent businesses in Corvallis? Among the multiple impacts are the personal responsibilities we have to our customers, who are our neighbors and friends. These are people with whom we grow throughout our lives, building a strong, caring community together. Many business owners like me work 12 hours a day, 7 days a week because we’re passionate about the quality of instruments we sell and the quality of our setups, repairs, and restoration. The integrity of our work is important to us because we know our customers personally. That’s the difference between shopping locally and dealing with someone you don’t know and won’t see on-line.
What do you enjoy most about owning your business? The people and the music that’s already part of them. We just help bring it out by setting the instruments up, or repairing or restoring them, so they’re easy to play.
What is your relationship to the community? We have supported many of the different music teaching and learning organizations at OSU, in the Corvallis schools and private schools, as well as helping struggling musicians. My PhD work was in Education, and as an educator and anthropologist, I have enjoyed helping our friends of all ages – from 3 to 93 – to learn joyful skills. This has always been part of the mission of the Troubadour. We currently work with about 20 instrumental music teachers outside and inside the shop who offer classical, Flamenco, folk and rock guitar; classical violin and cello; traditional/Celtic fiddle; old-time and bluegrass banjo; mandolin, ukulele, piano, and harp.
How important is sustainability to you and your business? Sustainability is very important to us. We recycle, and we show people how to work on their instruments. However, retail sales ensure the longevity of any business. It’s the honesty and integrity of any business that keeps customers coming back, and it is a pleasure and an honor to have been and continue to be a part of so many wonderful people’s lives throughout our years in Corvallis.

The Local Business of the Week program is designed to help the Corvallis community identify our locally owned independent businesses by featuring one business each week.

Hello, I started having this problem after updating to XCode 12.0.1 and ios14. Before the update everything worked fine with ios 13.
I will explain how I set up the project because I'm not an expert at XCode and I might be doing something wrong:
I cloned this repo, then dragged all of the classes into an existing project I was working on.
From the cloned project's storyboard, I copy pasted your navigation controller and the NTWaterfallViewController into my own project's storyboard as shown below. (I also tried building it from from scratch on the storyboard but got the same result). I set the classes to NTNavigationController and NTWaterfallViewController
Now when I run the project I see the Waterfall Collection View as expected. But no matter what image I click on, I ALWAYS get the image cell at indexpath (0,0)
The cellForItemAt() function inside NTHorizontalPageViewController is always entered with indexpath: (0,0). I also checked the setToIndexPath() method but it's entered with the correct indexpath(0,3).
When I recreate this on the cloned project it works fine(even on ios 14). But when I try to incorporate it into a new project by following the 2 steps I mentioned above, I get this bug. So maybe I'm doing something wrong during installation? Please point me in the right direction. Thank you!
Edit: I tried with iPhone 8(ios 14) and it worked. The problem is specific to iPhone X and iPhone 11.
The problem probably has to do with:
pageView.scrollToItem(at: indexPath as IndexPath, at:.centeredHorizontally, animated: false)
inside NTTransition. The scroll statement just doesn't work anymore with ios14 and xcode12 | <urn:uuid:6963d7e5-75fd-4bb8-a8f3-4b519a9d1c7f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://swiftobc.com/repo/demonnico-PinterestSwift-swift-transition | 2023-09-28T18:25:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.929377 | 399 |

William K. Wolfrum wants to know why the Fox Business Network had Overstock.com CEO Patrick Byrne on one of its shows earlier this week to comment about the Galleon insider trading investigation by the SEC when his company is being investigated by the SEC as well.
Wolfrum writes, “Byrne was his typical, charming self. He invented a story about an anonymous ‘friend’s’ dealings with the SEC. He managed to mention Overstock.com’s official media arm ‘DeepCapture.’ He again claimed SEC officials are, or were, on the take.
“What Byrne — and the Fox Business anchors — didn’t mention in this probing interview about the SEC? That Byrne’s company, Overstock.com, has been subpoena’d by the SEC and is being investigated on Overstock’s previously-announced restatements of its financial statements in 2006 and 2008 and other matters. It is the second time in three years Byrne and Overstock have been investigated by the SEC.
“But that was apparently not worth mentioning during a discussion with Byrne about the SEC.
“In the end, you may disagree with the Obama Administration’s war against Fox News. But when FBN can’t bring themselves to mention a massive conflict-of-interest from one of their guests — who happens to be a long-time Republican – there’s really no need to treat FBN like a real business network.”

TALLAHASSEE— Leon County School Board member Alva Striplin said even though she recently changed her party affiliation from Republican to Democrat, nothing else has really changed.
Striplin was first elected in 2014 when she was a registered Republican. She defeated Forest VanCamp, who was also a registered Republican.
As she launches her re-election campaign to represent District 1, Striplin said she is still “very fiscally conservative” and her priorities are still limiting wasteful spending and increasing teacher pay.
“I decided to change parties after the presidential election,” she said “ I am not a Trump supporter. I think he is offensive to women, so when I needed to change my address recently, I just changed my party affiliation at the same time.”
She said her change in party had absolutely nothing to do with her opponent in the 2018 election, Richard Bell, and pointed out the board seat is non-partisan.
In her district, which runs east of Thomasville Road to I-10, to the county line and then downtown to roughly Duval Street, the number of registered Democrats outnumbers Republicans by about 49 percent to 34 percent, with those with no party affiliation making up the other 17 percent.
Striplin’s party change adds to the Democrats domination of local elected positions on the Board of Leon County Commissioners, the City Commission, and the School Board. Of the 17 elected positions, only one is a Republican -Bryan Delsoge of the Leon County Commission.
While Democrats make-up 94% of the elected officials, information from the Leon Count Supervisor of Elections shows that Democrats make up 52.7% of registered voters. Republicans come in at 27.8% and “Others” constitute 19.4% of the electorate. | <urn:uuid:6ecf28ee-5790-46dc-bb5a-cdcaaa533428> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://tallahasseereports.com/2017/05/03/school-board-member-alva-striplin-becomes-a-democrat/ | 2023-09-28T16:49:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.972186 | 372 |

Retired Marine Gen. John Kelly is leaving the White House as President Trump’s chief of staff, the president told reporters on Saturday.
A Gold Star father, Kelly became chief of staff in July 2017 after initially serving as Trump’s Homeland Security Department secretary. The president reportedly brought Kelly in to bring order to the West Wing following the ineffective leadership of his former chief of staff, Reince Priebus.
The circumstances surrounding Kelly’s departure were not immediately clear. The president made a brief announcement to reporters before leaving for Saturday’s Army-Navy Game in Philadelphia.
“John Kelly will be leaving – I don’t know if I can say ‘retiring,’” Trump said, according to a White House press pool report. “But, he’s a great guy. John Kelly will be leaving at the end of the year. We’ll be announcing who will be taking John’s place. I’ll be announcing that over the next day or two. But, John will be leaving at the end of the year. He’s been with me almost two years now.”
Media reports have indicated the working relationship between Trump and Kelly has been strained in the best of times. Kelly has been photographed wincing or putting his head in his hands as Trump lambasted NATO allies or made other unscripted remarks. Kelly has denied being visibly upset as Trump spoke.
In October 2017, Kelly was one of the president’s strongest defenders after Rep. Frederica Wilson, a Democrat from Florida, accused Trump of insensitivity during a phone call with the widow of Army Sgt. La David Johnson, who was killed alongside three of his fellow soldiers in Niger earlier that month.
“It stuns me that a member of Congress would have listened in on that conversation,” said Kelly, whose son 1st Lt. Robert Kelly was killed in Afghanistan in November 2010. “I thought at least that was sacred.”
Kelly also said that when the president asked him how to talk to the families of the four soldiers killed in the Oct. 4, 2017 Niger ambush, Kelly passed along some advice he had received from Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford, now chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
“He said: ‘Kell, he was doing exactly what he wanted to do when he was killed. He knew what he was getting into by joining that 1 percent. He knew what the possibilities were, because we’re at war. When he died – and the four cases we’re talking about, Niger, and my son’s case in Afghanistan – when he died, he was surrounded by the best men on this earth, his friends.’”

You must revise in order to reach your full potential. It is not easy, but effective revision can be highly rewarding, both intrinsically and extrinsically. You must first identify your learning style, once recognised you can shape your revision style. From there, other factors such as regular breaks, diet, exercise and making the most of your teachers & tutors greatly helps. But the most critical point is that you must personally invest numerous active hours to your subject rather than to your television. Remember revision, not television.
The 3 main styles of learning are visual, aural and kinaesthetic. The only way to learn what style best suits you is through trial and error. Divide your next homework task into 3 pieces and assign a piece to each style. For example, 1/3- Make a poster with lots of colour and bold images. 2/3- Record yourself reading the data, then play it back to your self. 3/3- Tag pieces of data to objects in your room, then as you walk around recall what each object is. Test yourself of the data and which ever section your score most highly in is your specific learning method. Remember its not always one or the other, you maybe best suited to a combination of these techniques.
Come exam season, you want to become more comfortable with the paper itself. Past papers are a must as they teach you how to specifically and effectively answer the question. In addition, use the mark scheme to your advantage. I’m not saying to complete the paper with the answers in front of you, but rather mark your papers accurately and identify your mistakes. Then focus on your mistakes. This is a fast way to identify and fill gaps in your knowledge. Don’t rely on past papers! They are final stage of revision. Make sure you have fully grasped the 1st principles of your subject matter, as papers are highly plastic as the structure and question style can change. If you have only memorised the mark scheme and don’t have a solid grounding of the material, you could be caught out.
Other factors can directly help your revision. Diet is key, as your brain can’t function properly if you are hungry, as you are thinking about being hungry rather than your work. Eating healthy keeps you healthy. Getting ill during exams is not pleasant, I have 1st hand experience.
Make sure you take regular breaks, your brain gets tired if you keep working it, much like any of your muscles. Give it time to recover. Breaks also give you a good excuse to exercise. This not only prevents you getting ill, but causes a mass release of endorphins which pick up your mood and give you a greater motivation to study.
Make your revision sessions fun. This is up to what you find fun. i.e. have music on in the background, use stickers, crayons etc. It makes it far less tedious. Trust me.
Make the most of your teachers. They are fonts of knowledge who can dynamically impart wisdom far better than any textbook. Hound at their door, ask them to give feedback on your papers and essays. Ask them to discuss your mistakes. Have discussions with them to give your understanding of an area greater depth. Use your teachers!
Make sure you actively invest the hours in to revision. Its not easy, its not super fun, but it is your responsibility. If you don’t, your marks will show it, its that simple. Being active is key. Just sitting at your desk for 6 hours won’t get that A*. You must push yourself to be as productive as possible and to be fully committed to your studies.
Overall to be as successful as possible you must identify your specific learning style, establish the 1st principles of your subjects then use past papers responsibly. From there, ensure you eat well, take regular breaks, keep up an exercise routine, make your sessions fun and engaging and squeeze your teachers dry by getting as much help as possible. These are all helpful tips and tricks, but you must remember that you need to invest the hours. Not your parents. Not your teachers.

Dubai Cares, part of Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives, has announced the third edition of its Distinguished Philanthropic Award in Schools, which will run from November 2017 to March 2018. The initiative, which is in partnership with the Ministry of Education and Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA), invites students from public and private schools across the UAE to develop and put into action innovative and effective fund-raising concepts aimed at providing children affected by conflicts, epidemics and natural disasters with an opportunity to catch up with their education.
Commenting on the launch of the initiative for this year, Tariq Al Gurg, Chief Executive Officer at Dubai Cares stated: “As we look forward to mark 2018 as ‘the Year of Zayed’, Dubai Cares is proud to launch the third edition of its Distinguished Philanthropic Award in Schools in the UAE in memory of our founding father; the late Sheikh Zayed. We all know that Sheikh Zayed’s giving nature extends far beyond the UAE; it is felt all around the world. His legacy will certainly spark enthusiasm among participating students towards philanthropy and humanitarian work. Through this Award, our goal is to strengthen our ties with all UAE-based schools and students, as well as raise awareness around the obstacles preventing underprivileged children and young people in developing countries from receiving quality education.”
The Award includes two categories: The Young Philanthropists Award and The Philanthropic School Award. Upon registration, each school has the choice to select one or both award categories. The Young Philanthropists Award recognizes the group of students with the most creative fundraising projects, while the Philanthropic School Award rewards the school that raises the highest amount of funds.
“The Dubai Cares Distinguished Philanthropic Award in Schools aims to challenge students to think creatively and innovatively, whilst also instilling a sense of philanthropy and entrepreneurship to make them future change-makers and leaders. We look forward to seeing this year inspire bright ideas and solutions to help more children and young people have access to quality education in countries affected by emergencies and protracted crises. The Award has received tremendous success in the previous two editions, and we hope that the participation level grows even further.” concluded Amal Al Redha, Director of Fundraising at Dubai Cares.

When to consult with tech startup lawyers is an important decision when entrepreneurs, tech startups and small businesses undertake a new venture. Whether in the technology startup field, mobile software, new media, or an e-commerce fashion line, the question of what comes first, what is the first order of business, and where do I start, may arise, and consultation with experienced tech startup lawyers is invaluable in the decision making process.
Entrepreneurs and tech startups are peppered with offers on courses, how to videos, lectures, seminars, networking events, and so called gurus and consultants that offer to show entrepreneurs roadmaps, and best practices, in connection with topics such as “marketing”, “funding”, “sourcing” and so on. If you read nothing else in this post, know that anyone who offers to perform a “pro forma” for your tech startup in 2021 is not doing you any favor, IMHO.
Where To Start Hiring Tech Startup Lawyers
Hire a tech startup lawyer, and a good one.
Tech Startup Lawyer for Entrepreneurs
When due diligence, official business, and sequence of action plans really come to fruition, a business savvy technology knowledge intellectual property lawyer can be an entrepreneur’s best friend, and most valuable resource.
Mark Zuckerberg once said: “The company’s who make the fewest mistakes, win.”
This mean risk reduction is critical to tech startups
Consultation with a savvy tech and business lawyer should therefore be the first official order of business of any tech startup. If and when an entrepreneur thinks of a great business idea and business model, then conducts her internal research and development (R&D) for product and promotion strategy, among other marketing objectives, and the tech startup or entrepreneur is now ready to “do business” the first official business should be to consult a technology startup law firm to confidentially discuss with startup attorney the company’s plans and objectives, the operational plan, and that technology startup attorney can advise the company on various due diligence and risk reduction strategies. | <urn:uuid:78170485-4702-4c67-9089-ed06c3484fb6> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://techandmedialaw.com/the-first-official-business-of-tech-startup-lawyers/ | 2023-09-28T18:22:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.927777 | 561 |
The world we see today isn’t what it was centuries ago. There used to be a long gap between different parts of the world.
More than just the barrier of distance and differing languages, every part of society; business, arts, education, sciences, philosophy, craft and career were worlds apart, across the globe.
Then came the game-changer that will not only modify all but bring all together into a single community: The Internet. Thanks to this invention, everyone is closer than we could ever imagine.
The internet of Things (IoT)
The era of the internet brought about a vast connection between every part of society and the globe.
First, information and data can be shared at a faster rate, are readily available and easily accessible. The internet started as a means of connecting people together.
If there was a future its inventor never foresaw, it is what would be known as “the internet of things”. Recent innovations have taken the internet a step further: making it a network not just for connecting people, but things as well.
The internet of things is simply a process whereby devices and machines are connected via the internet and interact with one another with little or no human intervention.
Devices are enabled to read and share data with one another, which can be interpreted to carry out tasks and communicate with other devices within a network.
In developed climes, we have seen where refrigerators can notify you of the expiry date of groceries, or detect that you are running out of milk and place an order in that regard.
Another scenario is your alarm waking you up and communicating with your coffee maker to prepare you some coffee. With the internet of things, machines and devices talk to each other. The List is countless to the vast possibilities of the internet of things.
Daily life and the Internet of Things: The pros and cons
What does this new idea have in stock for daily human life? Are there benefits, pros and cons from the internet of things?
Below are five ways by which the internet of things can affect daily life.
The idea of the internet of things, while merging machines and devices into a single interactive network, provides users with absolute control over all devices via a network. Hence, it brings flexibility and convenience to the use of technology both domestically and industrially.
Saves time and money
When devices know what to do, and communicate with one another to do it, a lot of time is spent by humans in carrying out these activities either by operating individual devices or through the use of human effort, is saved.
It also helps to save money. The use of operators or human assistants is drastically reduced, thus saving firms or households from the cost of labor in this regard.
A system can induce multiple tasks simultaneously, thanks to the internet of things. This only means that the era of doing one thing at a time is not only over for humans, but possibly for machines as well. This also will mean some discrepancies leading to inefficiency are taken care of.
Talking of the cons, with little or no human effort required to get devices to work, a time comes in the future when the services of domestic menial workers like house help, or machine operators in industrial settings will no longer be required.
Devices will share lots of data within the network. Thus, while this data helps the connected devices carry out tasks and interact with other devices within and outside the network, it can also put the user at risk, if the system is infiltrated by hackers, or such data gets into the wrong hands.
Harnessing the great possibilities of this technology, there abound enormous benefits that the human society stands to gain.

India vs Australia Live: Live score from IND vs AUS in women’s hockey
India vs Australia Live, Commonwealth Games: Follow for live score and updates in hockey from 2022 CWG
Preview: The phenomenal success at the Tokyo Olympics has ignited hopes of in-form Indian men’s hockey team stopping the Australian juggernaut at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.
Australia’s dominance at the CWG is a matter of envy. Since the game’s introduction in the quadrennial event 24 years ago, the world No.1 Australia has been the most dominant force, having won all six gold medals till date.
Going by renewed optimism and belief among the Indian players, it appears the men’s team has a great opportunity to end Australia’s gold rush at the event.
The Indian team, which won a historic Olympic bronze after a hiatus of 41 years last year, has improved by leaps and bounds under Australian Graham Reid.
Commonwealth Games: India schedule, Results, Medals tally
India’s best result came in 2010 at home (New Delhi) and in Glasgow (2014) when it finished runner-up. The team finished fourth twice — in 1998 in Kuala Lumpur, where the sport made its debut and in 2018 in Gold Coast.
In earlier editions, fitness was one area which was a cause of concern but the current Indian team is considered one of the fittest sides in world hockey.
The improved fitness has translated into results. After claiming a historic bronze in Tokyo, Indian men finished third in this season’s FIH Pro League behind Belgium and Netherlands.
And if the players play to their potential, there is no reason why the Indians can’t bring home their maiden gold from Birmingham.
But it would be easier said than done as competition in hockey at the CWG is pretty tough. Besides Australia, the Indians will also have to get the better of teams like New Zealand, England, arch-rivals Pakistan and Canada.

Shape Memory Alloy Mechanisms for CubeSats
mechanical and fluid systems
Shape Memory Alloy Mechanisms for CubeSats (LEW-TOPS-135)
Lightweight and efficient mechanism for retention, release, and deployment of solar arrays and antennas
Innovators at NASA's Glenn Research Center have developed lightweight and reliable mechanisms based on shape memory alloys (SMAs) for small satellites, such as CubeSats. SMAs have a unique ability to effect a reversible phase transformation, so that they can withstand being severely deformed and recovered repeatedly. Glenn's innovation, flown in a successful space mission, uses SMA components in actuators and hinging elements to improve retention, release, and deployment of crucial structures, such as solar arrays. Compared to standard devices, the SMA-based mechanisms are much smaller and lighter, do not produce debris, and require minimal power to operate, meeting the rigorous power budget for CubeSats. These SMA-based components are a key breakthrough for CubeSats and other small satellites, where their small size and weight, reusability, and reliability are mission critical. In addition, these mechanisms can be scaled up, so their benefits can be realized in larger spacecraft as well.
Most spacecraft feature release, retention, and deployment devices as key components, because these devices achieve on-demand configurability of solar panels, probes, antennas, scientific instruments, fairings, etc. Until now, designing and using such devices in small spacecraft has been a challenge, because their mass, volume, and power requirements are significant and can impose design constraints. CubeSats, in particular, often need to deploy several structures (such as solar arrays) simultaneously, which prior-art deployment devices have not been able to manage effectively. Glenn's innovation embeds SMAs within the components so the structures can be retained during launch, then released and deployed in orbit. The release and retention device is controlled by an SMA activated pin puller to disengage the release plate from the hooks holding the solar arrays. Once released, the SMA hinge is passively enabled to the deployed state. When ready on orbit, the mechanism is commanded to release and electrical power is sent to the SMA actuator, releasing the component to its deployed state. The component is deployed to its final position through the use of hinges, which are activated passively with SMA spring strips. The retention and release device and hinge are substantially smaller and lighter than deployment mechanisms have ever been and can deploy simultaneously with great reliability. Having already been successfully deployed on a NASA mission, Glenn's innovation is a game-changing technology for CubeSats and other small satellites.
- Lightweight/compact: The SMA retention and release device weighs between 150 and 200 grams (for 3U CubeSats), and is fully scalable to smaller or bigger satellites
- Low-power: Deploys in as little as 10 seconds, using only 18 watts
- Efficient: SMA components are resettable, so they can be ground-tested several times, unlike current state of the art
- Clean and safe: Does not require additional lubrication, and (unlike pyrotechnics and burn wires) does not create debris
- Versatile: Tunable to operate in a wider range of deployment temperatures (-140 to 500°C) than previous devices, enabling missions in extreme temperature environments
- Commercial space
- Navigation systems
- Unmanned vehicles

New Zealand and Australia are in a fix currently with two of their star players getting gruesome injuries on the same day
New Zealand and Australia are in a fix currently with two of their star players getting gruesome injuries on the same day. These injuries could force these two star players, Travis Head of Australia and Tim Southee of New Zealand, to sit out of the ODI World Cup 2023.
After being struck by a short delivery from Gerald Coetzee in the fourth One-Day International against South Africa at SuperSport Park on Friday, Australia’s opener Travis Head has a confirmed fracture in his left hand, putting his availability for the early stages of the ODI World Cup 2023 in doubt.
Elsewhere, ODI World Cup 2023 participation of Tim Southee is in question as he returns to New Zealand after scans revealed he dislocated and broke a bone in his right thumb when dropping a catch in the fourth One-Day International against England.
Tim Southee, Travis Head join ODI World Cup injury list
Ben Lister’s final delivery in the 14th over at Lord’s caused Tim Southee to injure himself while attempting to take a catch of Joe Root, who was on eight at the time. Before a member of the travelling medical staff removed him from the pitch, he instantly indicated his distress.
He did not participate further in New Zealand’s 100-run defeat after leaving the pitch for a scan; Trent Boult took his place as a replacement fielder, and he opted not to bat in the later portions of the innings.
New Zealand will be hoping that the further evaluation would allow Tim Southee to preserve his spot in the 15-man squad for what will be his fourth ODI World Cup, which will start just 20 days from now against England in Ahmedabad.
While, Travis Head was smacked on the left glove while attempting to pull off Coetzee, he was on nine and facing his ninth delivery. Before continuing to bat, he received treatment from the Australian medical personnel on the pitch.
He only faced three more deliveries before retiring hurt and was obviously in pain. After the game, Australia coach Andrew McDonald said that an x-ray taken when he was hospitalised revealed a fracture.
In order to evaluate the extent of his damage and the timeframe for his recuperation, he will undergo further scans on Saturday. At the conclusion of the game, Travis Head did return to the ground, but his left hand was still in a splint. | <urn:uuid:808e4061-f27c-4e3e-8e77-caaa0c5e3ff5> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://technologytangle.com/2023/09/16/head-southee-doubtful-for-odi-world-cup-after-gruesome-injuries/ | 2023-09-28T18:01:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.981845 | 517 |

Fearing the unknown is an integral part of the human experience, especially when the unknown is something as powerful as generative AI. Therefore, as generative AI models grow in popularity, so do the concerns around them.
A new Reuters/Ipsos poll showed that more than two-thirds of Americans have concerns regarding AI risks.
The poll also revealed that fears have grown beyond a simple concern. Out of the 4,415 U.S. adults polled, 61% believe that AI is a threat to humanity, nearly triple the amount of respondents who didn’t foresee it being a threat.
These fears could be partly inspired by sci-fi movies, which have typically depicted AI as a threat — cue The Terminator.
Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, testified at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing this week to address AI risks and call for regulation.
AI pioneers and Turing Award winners Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio have both spoken out publicly about the risks of AI and the need for immediate regulation.
Bengio also encourages people, such as AI experts, regulators, and lawmakers, to take action.
“Right now there is a lot of emotion, a lot of shouting within the wider AI community. But we need more investigations and more thought into how we are going to adapt to what’s coming,” said Bengio in the interview. “That’s the scientific way.” | <urn:uuid:8d9dd65a-6c9f-4248-b537-ef62bc8600b8> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://techplayce.com/news/most-americans-think-ai-threatens-humanity-according-to-a-poll/ | 2023-09-28T17:44:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.964012 | 304 |
Mark Zuckerberg’s Bold Move: A Game-Changer in the Making
Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta Platforms has been experiencing an extraordinary year, both in terms of his personal wealth and the performance of Meta’s stock. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Zuckerberg’s net worth has increased by a staggering $53.7 billion this year, bringing it to $99.3 billion as of June 2 and placing him back in the top 10 richest individuals in the world. The rise in his wealth is closely tied to the impressive performance of Meta’s stock, which has seen a 127% increase this year, resulting in a market value of nearly $390 billion.
Zuckerberg has managed to restore investor confidence by implementing a new concept called “The Year of Efficiency,” which involves significant cost-cutting measures, including the loss of 21,000 jobs. This austerity treatment was announced in waves, with the most recent round of layoffs occurring just a few days ago.
Despite previously focusing on the metaverse, Zuckerberg has shifted his attention to artificial intelligence (AI) as a major revenue and earnings booster for Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. However, now that investor doubts have been dispelled, Zuckerberg wants to address a habit that emerged during the pandemic: remote work. After three years of remote work due to Covid-19 restrictions, Meta Platforms is now asking office-assigned employees to return to the office three days a week starting September 5.
According to a Meta spokesperson, the company remains committed to distributed work and believes that employees can make a meaningful impact both from the office and at home. The goal is to foster collaboration, relationships, and a vibrant culture by prioritizing in-person time for teams. It’s important to note that employees who are currently classified as remote workers will retain their status and continue to work remotely.
Meta’s decision to bring employees back to the office aligns with a broader trend among companies. Many organizations have encouraged their employees to return to the office, although they have faced resistance from some individuals. As a result, hybrid work models, combining remote and in-person work, have become popular. However, in recent months, some CEOs, including Zuckerberg and Andy Jassy of Amazon, have emphasized the benefits of in-person collaboration and have called for employees to spend at least three days a week in the office.
Companies such as JPMorgan Chase, Disney, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, Tesla, Twitter, and Google have also requested employees to return to the office, supporting the belief that productivity and company culture are enhanced when employees work together in person. As organizations navigate the post-pandemic landscape, they are continuously refining their work models to strike the right balance between remote and in-person work for their teams. | <urn:uuid:b1e1773a-1ffb-4fb5-835b-278101f19e1d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://techplugged.com/mark-zuckerbergs-bold-move-a-game-changer-in-the-making/ | 2023-09-28T18:54:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.971253 | 583 |
Automation is changing the way employees work around the globe. Machine learning programs can complete monotonous, mundane tasks in the blink of an eye and free up more time for jobs that require creativity and human ingenuity.
However, businesses that embrace automation need a robust cybersecurity program in place to prevent breaches and reduce the risk of hacks, scams, and cyberattacks. A robust defense policy ensures that employees can work remotely without fears that their personal devices will compromise their employer’s wider network.
Working from home (WFH) is a great way to enhance employee productivity and support a better work-life balance. However, some remote employees can be left behind if they aren’t given access to automation and cybersecurity technology that boosts productivity and prevents cyber attacks.
A recent report by consulting firm McKinsey found that most remote workers are “highly skilled, highly educated” and typically work in fields like finance, tech, and marketing. These roles require high levels of creativity and place a premium on problem-solving and critical thinking.
Remote automation technology can free up home-based employees’ time and mental energy by taking care of monotonous, repetitive tasks. For example, teams that utilize project management software like Asana and Monday.com can lean on automation features to sort, filter, and categorize their workflow.
Similarly, remote workers can use automation tools to speed up administrative tasks like filling out timesheets and invoicing customers. These repetitive, time-consuming tasks can be replaced with activities that add real value to businesses and bolster the bottom line.
Automation technology replicates the office environment by giving everyone access to the tools and resources they need to be successful at work. This is particularly important for folks who WFH, as even simple automation tools, like Grammarly and ChatGPT, can increase employee independence and improve their ability to problem-solve independently.
Robotic process automation software (RPA) can streamline the switch from office-bound systems to remote working models. IT departments that are in charge of bridging the gap between legacy systems can use RPA to build software robots that automatically get new remote employees up to speed with the tools and systems they need to WFH. RPA software can improve cybersecurity, too, by testing and maintaining critical cybersecurity systems.
Data breaches have been on the rise since many businesses decided to move remotely. Remote working has created flaws in traditional systems due to:
- Increased information shared online
- An uptick in surface attacks
- IT and security teams struggle to address weaknesses inherent in remote devices
Unfortunately, the decision to go remote puts increased strain on IT departments. This is a serious issue for remote businesses, who may be struggling to maintain the integrity of their security architecture.
Automation technology can firm up remote cybersecurity by detecting breaches and addressing weaknesses automatically. Remote businesses can bolster their cybersecurity by using a virtual private network (VPN) to create a private tunnel between employees’ devices and the business’s LAN. This increases the security of cloud-based storage solutions and hides private information from prying eyes.
Remote work may be in vogue today, but millions of employees still work in office buildings and co-working spaces. These employees benefit from quicker collaboration, a heightened sense of work culture, and more immediate access to work-based tools. This means that office-bound staff are in a prime position to leverage automation tech within a more secure network.
Business leaders who want to maximize the productivity of office-bound employees should utilize automation software that increases profitability and minimizes risk.
Start by leveraging customer relationship management (CRM) with inbuilt automation features. Automated CRMs can import data, organize leads, send pre-drafted emails, and track consumer behavior and preferences. This gives employees access to key insights and frees up time that would have been spent completing monotonous, rote tasks.
AI-driven automation programs can streamline the creation and management of documents, too. This is particularly useful for staff who work in sensitive fields like law or finance and deal with multiple in-person clients on a daily basis. By embracing automation, representatives can reduce the risk of human error and automatically create, store, and edit sensitive documents within a secure internal network.
Office-bound employees benefit from the innate security of working from the office. IT security teams can respond to threats in real time and handle issues that arise with hardware and software alike.
Office-based IT teams can also roll out new cybersecurity automation software with increased speed and efficiency. Office-based devices can be updated overnight when staff are not logged on. This helps cybersecurity specialists generate new protections faster than threats can spread and will reduce the lag between threat detection and security updates.
However, it’s important to note that office-bound systems may still be compromised by common attacks like phishing scams. As such, all employees must undergo intensive cybersecurity training before being given access to sensitive documents and private programs.
Automation is at the forefront of business-based tech today. Automated solutions like CRM administration and workflow management can be streamlined by algorithms designed to automatically import, categorize, and manage data.
However, businesses that embrace cutting-edge tech need a robust cybersecurity program to preserve the integrity of their systems. Cybersecurity solutions can be bolstered by cybersecurity training and policies that minimize the risk of phishing scams and improve cybersecurity awareness amongst employees.

Museum: Captain Cook Birthplace Museum
Topic: Cornerstones curriculum topic, Blue Abyss
Number of students involved: 60
Arts Award level: Discover
Year group: Year 4
Overview: The group looked at models of creatures to learn about their features and adaptations, and then drew them in detail. We introduced magnifying glasses and microscopes to encourage children to look at features and patterns in some of the smaller sea creatures from the museum’s handling collections. To build on this, the children worked with a local artist to create willow fish sculptures. This re-visited the features of a fish, its shape and adaptations. To make sure we covered everything, we followed this up with a session in school. All the children were able to achieve their Arts Award Discover through the project.
How did the students benefit from doing Arts Award? The children related well to working with a local artist with an enthusiasm for Captain Cook, helping them learn more about someone they’d already looked at in school. Adapting the Cornerstones programme of study to include Captain Cook as a local hero increased its relevance. Children were able to relate to, and see the significance of creatures they’d never seen in their own lives. When children realised that a local hero from their home area had seen and recorded these amazing creatures, it gave them a real sense of awe and pride in where they come from.
Children’s understanding about the relevance of art in the wider world also developed from this session. One boy who had a particular flair for observational drawing was noticeably enthused by gaining an Arts Award. He was keen to become an architect and through this experience he could really see how art could be used as he grew older. Finally, taking a ready-made display back to school meant teacher and pupils alike could continue their discussions and share them with parents and peers at a school assembly.
Using artists to enhance museum-based workshops is incredibly beneficial to visiting groups, regardless of the topic. Artists and art can easily be incorporated into science or humanities workshops. Art also provides a hands-on approach to learning, and through the Arts Award, museums can really offer an opportunity to consolidate learning for children of all abilities and give them an extra sense of achievement. Combining Arts Award Discover with a museum visit helps continue the momentum of learning back in school on a far greater scale than a more traditional school workshop. | <urn:uuid:a2df4eba-0af0-4f98-8c6f-68d3b0fef120> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://teesvalleymuseums.org/case-study/arts-award-discover/ | 2023-09-28T16:33:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.973868 | 489 |
When we got in contact with Dawn, we loved the trail request she sent us – the Great Glen Way. Such a beautiful and challenging trail, with an opportunity to spot the monster of Loch Ness 😉. Growing up in beautiful Maine, Dawn always loved the outdoors, and with her family, she lives a very active lifestyle. And we are thrilled that she wants to share her experience on the trail with us.
A bit more about this fantastic trail before we hand it over to Dawn: the Great Glen Way (or in Scottish - Slighe a' Ghlinne Mhòir) is a challenging but beautiful trail that stretches for 125km following the major natural faultline of the Great Glen. The trail was opened in 2002, is part of Scotland's Great Trails, and can be walked in 5-7 days. The trail starts at the ruins of the Old Fort, Fort Williams, and following the Caledonian Canal, ends in the regional capital of Inverness. Walking along canal towpaths, forest tracks, old drove roads, and urban pavements, you will also come across three major lochs, Lochs Lochy, Oich, and Loch Ness (keep your eye out for Nessy!).
*All pictures in this post are from Dawn’s hike, thank you for sharing these with us to make the interview more alive and personal!
Now, let’s hand-over to Dawn as she can tell much more about this beautiful trail!
To start, would you be able to tell us a bit about yourself?
I am a 56-year-old mother of 5 (all adults now) with a background in education. Having grown up in the state of Maine, as well as raising my children here, I have always had a great deal of appreciation for the outdoors and what it has to offer. I love an active lifestyle and my hobbies include hiking, biking, strength training and yoga.
How did your passion for hiking and the outdoors start?
My love for hiking began when my now husband and I started day hiking in the White Mountains of New Hampshire when we were just teenagers. Hiking to the top of a peak was an accomplishment and it felt so special to be able to enjoy the amazing scenery around us. We continued hiking with our kids, but our backpacking adventures slowed due to work and our children’s schedules. We are now able to pick up the pace again and have added snowshoeing to the mix. The winter brings beautiful snow-covered trails and quiet forests which we have really grown to love- you just need to gear up appropriately!
You hiked the Great Glen Way; what a fantastic achievement! The trail is one the Scotland’s Great Walks, and we would love to hear how your experience was on the trail?
The Great Glen Way was our 1st long trail (2019) outside of the USA. We travelled with a long-time friend, and all loved the variety of settings that we encountered during the walk. Not only were we in the hills above Loch Ness, but we travelled along the canals, through villages and some forests. We found it to be a great way to experience a new place and meet local people. Our choice of lodging ensured that we kept each day’s mileage reasonable and could enjoy evening meals at local taverns before a comfortable night’s sleep.
How did you discover the Great Glen Way and what was the reason to hike this specific trail?
It’s a funny story really. I heard about a great airfare sale to a handful of international cities during the winter months (travel had to be completed before April 15th). We were excited for an adventure, so I looked at the list. We chose Glasgow because we hadn’t been to Scotland and the winter weather is typically over in March. After the airfare purchase and dates were set for early April, I did some research on trail systems. That is when I learned about Scotland’s Great Walks (Ways). With maps in hand, we decided on the Great Glen Way because of the trail diversity and the ability to hike village to village, keeping us from having to camp in the cold weather.
During the trail you come across very steep sections and have to navigate over canal towpaths, forest tracks, old drove roads, former military roads, purpose-built path and urban pavement. With this diversity on the trail, how did you prepare for the hike?
Since we were preparing during winter, we utilized gyms for cycling, strength training and yoga- 3 to 4 times a week while adding hiking/snowshoeing 2-3 times a week. I wore a weighted pack and the hiking boots for the trip while making at least 1 of the hiking days 10+ miles.
Even though you prepared well for the trail, did you come across any (major) challenges that you would never have thought of beforehand?
I don’t think we came across any unusual challenges, but the mileages were typically 10-15 with the last day being 20 miles, so feet and hip flexors got sore. Using hiking poles, stretching each night, and bringing along a tennis ball to roll my feet did the trick. We were lucky with weather, but it could have been a very wet slog – rain gear is a must.
What is your best memory of the trail?
Hiking in early April, while cool (40-55F), kept us outside of Scotland’s busy walking season, which allowed us to explore castle ruins and the winding hill tops peacefully. The natural beauty of Scotland was truly amazing, and the local people were so friendly. We are planning to do another Great trail soon!
Before starting on the hike, you must have probably gone through your gear checklist a dozen times. In the end, did you take any gear with you that you eventually felt you could have done without? Or was there any specific gear that you wished you had with you on the trail?
We chose each pack item intentionally which allowed us to keep our pack weight at 16 lbs, minus water. The essentials being a light weight down jacket, rain gear, wool base layer, hat/glove liners. We brought minimal socks/underwear and were able to wash them out at each night’s lodging. Staying in B&Bs allowed us to travel light, leaving home towels/bedding/tent/cookware. I used my Osprey Kestral 32-day pack, and it was sufficient. There are services for hire that would transport your gear between lodgings for you if you wanted to carry only lunch/water. We really enjoy the challenge of packing with intention and traveling simply.
After this amazing achievement and crossing the Great Glen Way off your bucket list, do you have any other trails on your bucket list which you plan to hike in the (near) future?
Definitely!!! In 2021 we completed the Alta Via 1 in Italy, so, yes, we have been bitten by the long trail bug! We are planning to do the West Highland Way, Scotland and possibly Tour Du Mont Blanc, France in the next few years.
For all those inspired by your story and experience on the trail, what is the one tip you would like to give them?
Keep an open mind and get out there!
Lastly, when our hiking-lovers want to know more and follow your adventures, where can they find you on social media (if you are, of course, happy to share this info 😊)?
Hmmmm……I am on Facebook, but don’t post often. I may consider an adventure blog in the future though.
Dawn, thank you so much for taking the time to do this interview with us, it was an absolute pleasure!
Do you have an amazing story about one of your trail adventures which you would like to share with the community? Please reach out to us via email@example.com as we would love to hear from you.

The forthcoming series of Doctor Who features a lot of firsts. Not only does it feature the first female incarnation of the Traveling Time Lord but it will be the first time since the 2005 revival that new episodes will premiere on a Sunday rather than a Saturday when “The Woman Who Fell to Earth” airs on Sunday, […]
When footage of Jodie Whitaker’s debut as the Thirteenth Doctor surfaced on the Internet last week, the first thing that came to mind were those periodic elementary school ‘duck and cover’ drills from the 60s where kids would hide under their desks attempting to shield themselves from the effects of a possible nuclear explosion. You […]
In what seems to be a bit of a departure from an unwritten policy that stretches back more years that anyone can remember against leaking any information regarding the new series, a brilliant tidbit has surfaced about the forthcoming Doctor Who series starring Jodie Whitaker. Appearing on the most recent edition of the Will Young and Chris […]
Next up in the long line of changes ahead was the unveiling of the new logo design at last week’s BBC Showcase in Liverpool. Stylized in a brilliant orange gold, the new ‘brand’ is a far cry from anything that has preceded it over the last five decades.
While it may be difficult for some to come to grips with the fact that Doctor Who premiered some 55 years ago in 1963, it’s a bit more difficult for me to grasp that Blake’s 7, the creation of Terry Nation (who had already wreaked havoc on The Doctor with his creation of the Daleks), has just turned […]

Jogging or running is a popular form of physical activity. About one in five Australians try running (or jogging) at some stage in their life. Running is an appealing exercise because it doesn't cost a lot to take part and you can run at any time that suits you.
Some runners choose to participate in fun runs, athletics races or marathons. If you are interested in competing with other runners, contact your local running club.
1. It can get you off that exercise plateau
The American Heart Association calls walking the most popular form of exercise in the nation. People walk their dogs, take a stroll on the beach, climb the stairs at work — we love to walk.
But what if walking isn’t getting your heart rate up high enough for long enough? What if you’ve plateaued? Jogging is a great way to increase the intensity of your workout gradually, so you can minimize the risk of an injury that could sideline you for weeks.
2. It can help you drop weight
Walking, power-walking, jogging, and running — they all improve cardiovascular health and help prevent obesity. But one found that if you want to boost your weight loss, you’ll have more success if you pick up your pace.
The study doesn’t distinguish between jogging and running. Instead, it focused on increased weight loss that occurred when participants ran instead of walked.
3. It can strengthen your immune system
For the better part of a century, exercise scientists thought vigorous exercise could potentially leave you weakened and at risk for infection and disease. A closer look at the indicates the opposite is true.
Moderate exercise, like jogging, actually strengthens your body’s response to illness. That holds true for both short-term illnesses, like upper respiratory tract infections, and long-term illnesses, like diabetes.
4. It has a positive effect on insulin resistance
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Trusted Source, more than 84 million Americans have prediabetes, a condition that can be reversed.
Insulin resistance is one of the markers of prediabetes. The cells in your body simply aren’t responding to insulin, the hormone that keeps blood sugar levels in check.
The good news: A review Trusted Source of the research found that regularly running or jogging decreased insulin resistance in study participants. Researchers noted that a decrease in body fat and inflammation might be behind the improvement in insulin resistance.
5. It can help protect you from the negative effects of stress
Whether you’re a jogger, Hatha yoga enthusiast, or soccer beast, you’re bound to encounter stress. Jogging may protect the brain from the harmful effects of stress.
A 2013 of studies found that aerobic exercise, like jogging, could potentially improve executive functioning and protect the brain from decline related to aging and stress.
A recent animal from Brigham Young University found that among mice exposed to stressful situations, those who were regularly allowed to run on a wheel performed better, making the fewest errors following a maze and demonstrating the highest ability to remember and navigate skillfully.
Stress relief is another valuable benefit of running or jogging. Going for a jog might improve your mood in the short-term by helping get your mind off your troubles, but it can also lead to longer-lasting stress relief benefits.
6. It can help you cope with depression
Exercise has long been known to help people manage the symptoms of depression, but new science may help explain how.
Elevated cortisol levels have been linked to depressive episodes. Cortisol is a hormone your body releases in response to stress.
A 2018 study examined cortisol levels in people seeking treatment for depression. After 12 weeks of consistent exercise, those who exercised regularly throughout the study had reduced levels of cortisol throughout their entire day.
Doctors at Mayo Clinic advise people who have symptoms of anxiety or depression to take up a physical activity they enjoy. Jogging is just one example.
7. It keeps your spine flexible as you age
In between the bony vertebrae in your back, small, flexible discs act like protective pads. The discs are actually sacs filled with fluid. They can shrink and wear out as you get older, especially if you live a relatively sedentary life.
Sitting for long periods can really add to the pressure on these discs over time.
The good news is that jogging or running preserves the size and flexibility of these discs.
One of 79 people found that regular joggers who ran at a pace of 2 meters per second (m/s) had better disc hydration and higher levels of glycosaminoglycan (a kind of lubricant) in their discs.
The healthier and more hydrated those discs are, the more flexible you’ll feel as you move through your day.
8. Good for your brain
Jogging can help in the creation of new brain cells thereby resulting in overall brain development and performance. An everyday 30-minute run or jog is said to increase body protein generated by your brain that helps in better decision making and sharpness. How does this happen? Well, this physical activity sends nourished blood to the brains that help in better thinking and balance mood keeping stress at bay.
9. Good for your skin
Jogging increases blood flow and nourishes your skin cells. Your blood carries oxygen and nutrients that are absorbed by your cells and this helps you have vibrant skin. It also flushes out the bad toxins and waste products from your body. Your body produces stress hormones called cortisol that can make your skin look older. Jogging improves blood circulation thus fighting cortisol.
10. Boosts Self-Esteem
Running builds confidence like few other individual sports can. It allows the runner to defeat trial after trial, growing stronger and surer of themselves with each footstrike. It allows you to truly climb hills and clear obstacles. It provides a feeling of empowerment and freedom that comes with knowing that your legs and body are strong and capable.
Researchers have found that participating in physical activity such as running and jogging are directly related to better self-esteem. Regular exercise led to improved perceptions of fitness and improved body image, both of which were linked to improved self-esteem.
11. Improves Mood
In addition to relieving daily stress, running and jogging can have positive influences on your attitude. The endorphin rush you feel during a run can lead to that burst of well-being or just a general sense of happiness.
There is some evidence that engaging in exercise such as running may help alleviate symptoms of mood and anxiety disorders. One 2013 study found that exercise was moderately more effective than no therapy for reducing depressive symptoms. However, the study found that exercise was no more effective than antidepressants.
Less tension, less depression, less fatigue, and less confusion are just a few of the changes that patients have seen after beginning a regular running program. Running gives something for them to focus on, allowing them to see something besides their depressed state or addiction.
12. It could save your life
A sedentary lifestyle, whether you’re playing video games or working at your desk, may increase your risk of premature death. What’s less well-known is that jogging at a slow pace just a few times a week might keep you alive much longer.
In the Copenhagen City Heart Study, researchers followed a group of joggers from 2001 to 2013. The group that had the best record of life longevity was the group that ran at a “light” pace for 1 to 2.4 hours, 2 to 3 days a week.
The study received some criticism, in part because “light” wasn’t defined, and what’s considered “light” for an athlete could be quite challenging for someone else. The findings also contradict other research that suggests strenuous exercise may be better for you.
Nevertheless, the study confirms what we already know about getting on the treadmill or hitting the trail: You don’t need to sprint like Caster Semenya or run marathons like Yuki Kawauchi to experience the benefits of aerobic exercise.
The American Heart Association recommends that you take good care of your feet before, during, and after jogging. Wear shoes made for running, talk to a pro about inserts or orthotics, and check for any blisters or swelling after you jog. | <urn:uuid:49e4a32f-ed21-46ed-87ec-aeb122564048> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://tempoteabar.com/blogs/welcome-to-tempo/health-benefits-of-running-and-jogging | 2023-09-28T16:52:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.949761 | 1,744 |
Misha raises her small hand.
“How to find the child of God?” (Misha)
Eleonor let out an *Ah* sound and all eyes focused on her.
“Ah, sorry. It’s something else. I’ve just had a <Liikus> arrive. Can I take it?” (Eleonor)
“No problem.” (Arnos)
“I won’t be long.” (Eleonor)
Eleonor walks a short distance away from our group.
“Sorry for the wait Ledoriano-kun. What’s wrong?” (Eleonor)
A message from the hero academy? Is something wrong?
“Can’t you find the child of God with your demon eyes Arnos?” (Ray)
“Possibly, if I meet them face to face and look into the abyss but that’s impossible since we don’t even know where to start. I can’t see what isn’t there after all.” (Arnos)
“Then should we investigate the backgrounds of the student’s and teachers? If the gods have done something then shouldn’t there be a connection somewhere?” (Ray)
“That will take a lot of time but that’s probably the best action to take.” (Arnos)
I’m not even sure they are in the academy but without any further clues, we’ll have to investigate here.
Hmm, I can feel someone staring at me.
I turn around to see a male student in black clothes standing there. His badge is a six-pointed star and he’s got strong magic power but he’s suppressing it.
No. Isn’t it a bit too strong for a mazoku of this time?
He’s got curly hair and an intelligent looking face.
I don’t know him. He’s certainly not a student of this class.
“Fang of the cursed shield.” Misha mutters.
“What does a member of the chaos generation want with Arnos Gerard?” Sasha says as she moves up and stands by my side.
“I’m sorry if this offends you but I’m not here for him. I’m here for her.” (Gerard)
The boy called Gerad kneels politely in front of Misa.
“Misa Iriologue-sama, I am Gerard Azrema and I serve your father. I am here today on my lord’s orders.” (Gerard)
Misa’s eyes widened in surprise.
“May I tell you more?” (Gerard)
Misa nods though her face looks puzzled.
“The time has finally come and your father has sent for you. If you have any desire to see your father I hope you will come with me.” (Gerard)
“……..Where to?” (Misa)
“I cannot say it here as my lord, your father has enemies. It cannot be known that you are his daughter.” (Gerard)
Misa turns around and looks at me with eyes that are asking for permission.
“Did you say you were called Gerard? When did you reincarnate?” (Arnos)
The male student looks at me with a guarded gaze.
He seems to be cautious of me.
“No matter how much you are suppressing it, your magic is well beyond the level of the current mazoku. Are you going to carry on hiding it?” (Arnos)
“……As expected of the demon king of tyranny. You saw right through it….” (Gerard)
While still kneeling Gerard bowed his head to me.
“After the war between Deiruheido and Azeshion ended my reincarnation finally completed and my memories and power returned to this body.” (Gerard)
“I hope you understand that I was not conspiring against the demon king…..” (Gerard)
“Who is your master?” (Arnos)
“I cannot say.” (Gerard)
“Do you think you can stay silent in front of me?” (Arnos)
“……I am prepared to die……” (Gerard)
Fumu. Who’s his lord that he can command so much loyalty?
“Arnos-sama…..” Misa appeals to me.
I don’t need to ask her how she feels about it.
“I’m not that unreasonable as to deny my subordinates heartfelt wishes. Go ahead. I’ll take care of the rest.” (Arnos)
“Thank you very much!” (Misa)
Gerard stands up and addresses Misa.
“Then I shall guide you.” (Gerard)
Gerad heads off to the entrance.
“Aah, wait Gerard. My subordinate will be in your care. You understand right?” (Arnos)
Gerard turned around and bowed.
“Of course.” (Gerard)
“Then you’ll also be taking another one. You won’t even tell me who you really are so I don’t think this demand is too unreasonable. Do you?” (Arnos)
Gerard was silent for a moment before answering.
“I understand.” (Gerard)
I turn around and look at Ray.
“I owe you one.” (Ray)
“Tell me a story when you get back.” (Arnos)
Ray stands up and moves to follow Misa.
“Am I being a hindrance?” (Ray)
*Fufufu* Misa leaks a small laugh.
“It’s reassuring. I’m very nervous after all.” (Misa)
They both smile at each other.
“Let’s go.” (Gerard)
All three of them leave the classroom.
“Eh? Where’s Misa-chan and Kanon gone? A date?” (Eleonor)
Eleonor finished her <Liikus> and came back over.
“They went to speak to Misa’s father.” (Arnos)
Eleonor seemed surprised.
“Wow…… greeting the father….” (Eleonor)
“Hang on Arnos. Your way of speaking just creates misunderstanding.” Sasha butts in.
“Ask Ray when he comes back if you’re interested.” (Arnos)
“Oh I will.” (Eleonor)
Sasha watches us in amazement.
“What did the hero academy want?” (Arnos)
“Oh yeah. Ledoriano-kun contacted me. It seems they found a troublesome magic tool left behind by Jerga. It seems to be a previous version of <Ask>. They tried to dispose of it but they couldn’t.” (Eleonor)
An inheritance from Jerga? Did he prepare it just in case he was destroyed?
“Would it be best to destroy it?” (Arnos)
“I believe so. It seems he’s coming to Midheys so me and Zeshia will go with him first. If we can’t do it can I ask you Arnos-kun?” (Eleonor)
“Fumu. I don’t think there’s many magic tools you can’t destroy but feel free to ask me if you can’t.” (Arnos)
“Thanks. Ah… wouldn’t it be better to look for this child of God though?” (Eleonor)
“What? Why? If the worst happens and the child of god awakens it’s me they will come after anyway. Go and destroy that magic tool first.” (Arnos)
“I see. In that case I’ll go. I’ll be as quick as I can. Let’s go Zeshia.” (Eleonor)
Eleonor calls out to Zeshia who was listening to everything in silence.
“…… Bye-bye……. see you later……” (Misha)
Misha waved at Zeshia who waved back.
Misha looked at me when those two left.
“Are you going to the union tower?” (Misha)
I was going to ask Melheys about the post-war clean-up today and decide my future plans based on that. He’s probably already in the union tower.
While we’re at it I’ll have him gather information on the mazoku in the academy and how Eldomade became a teacher.
“Yeah, let’s go.” (Arnos)
I leave the classroom with Misha and Sasha.
I send a <Liikus> to Menou to inform her about Nousgalia but it doesn’t connect.
“What’s wrong?” (Misha)
“I tried to send Menou a <Liikus> but it won’t connect.” (Arnos)
I quickly scour the academy with my demon eyes but I can’t find Menou’s magic power anywhere.
There was an unnatural place though.
The 3rd year classroom that Menou is in charge of.
Its concealed very well but the flow of magic is a bit off.
“Hold out your hands.” (Arnos)
I hold out my hands and Misha and Sasha hold them.
Using <Gatom> I arrive in front of the 3rd year classroom.
Misha opens the door.
It’s empty inside with no one to be seen.
“……..Dimensional prison <Azeishis>…..” Misha tells me while using her demon eyes.
A room of magic created in another dimension so no one can enter from the outside.
“Shall I break it Arnos?” (Sasha)
“Go ahead.” (Arnos)
Sasha stares at <Azeishis> with her demon eyes of ruin.
A sound similar to glass breaking rings out and pieces of magic power scatters everywhere before <Azeishis> collapses.
The figures of the 3rd year students fell down when the other dimension collapsed.
“….Aah…..Arnos……” Libest lets out a feeble voice.
I approach him and apply recovery magic.
“…..Menou-sensei was kidnapped…….” (Libest)
“By who?” (Arnos)
“A first-year. One of the chaos generation, Hard Sword Linka Seourunes…..” (Libest)
Libest draws a magic formation.
“I cast Tracking <Enoi> on them and I’m sure it hasn’t been noticed yet….” (Libest)
<Enoi>. A magic that tracks the location of whoever you’ve attached it to.
If whoever has abducted Menou uses their demon eyes they’ll see it though.
They’re very fast. Are they flying?
“They will be easy to catch but this is all very strange.” (Arnos)
A messenger from Misa’s father turns up, the hero academy discovers a magic tool left by Jerga and Menou is kidnapped.
What’re the chances of all this happening at the same time?
“….Then Linka is the child of god…….?” (Sasha)
“A diversion…?” (Misha)
“Is Nousgalia intending to do something when Arnos takes his eyes off the demon king academy?” (Sasha)
Are some mazoku cooperating with this guy or did he deceive them with the body of the fire death king Eldomade?
“It’s not impossible.” (Arnos)
“We’ll go.” (Sasha)
Misha nods in agreement.
“Be careful. They are skilful enough to seal the 3rd years including Libest and carry Menou off. If they are not the child of God then they are more than likely a mazoku from 2000 years ago.” (Arnos)
“We’ll be okay.” (Misha)
“Who do you think we were trained by?” Sasha says while smiling.
They hold hands, confirm the position of Menou using <Enoi> and cast <Gatom>. | <urn:uuid:cca8511a-6931-4365-8b3d-c4837ccf5154> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://tempusinfinitumblog.com/2020/12/04/115-mazoku-from-2000-years-ago/ | 2023-09-28T17:03:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.919179 | 2,867 |

A COUPLE OF THE YOUNG UP & COMING POCKET BULLY FEMALES OF VENOMLINE
HOME OF THE EXTREME BUILD POCKET AMERICAN BULLY
Originally from Houston, Texas, Venomline (formerly known as Texas Size Bullies) is now located in South Florida.
Venomline has several ABKC Pocket American Bully Champions in-house and has produced even more.
VENOMLINE POCKET BULLIES
Venomline dogs have been featured in Rolling Stone Magazine, BULLY KING Magazine, Bully Girl Magazine, in Music Videos and on television (NBC, Barcroft Animals)
Venomline is known for producing some of the thickest dogs in the world, without sacrificing conformation or health. Pocket Bullies that exemplify breed type, known for having massive heads, dense bone, broad chests, wide shoulders, short muzzles, and being packed rock solid with muscle on short & compact frames.
Venomline is different than most kennels in the fact that they do not use a traditional kennel set up. Their dogs sleep in beds and are a part of the family, not kept locked up in kennels all day. They are proud of proud of the fact that they produce dogs with the “wow factor” desired in an American Bully combined with a great temperament.
Venomline places importance on functionality and their dogs display impressive athleticism despite the heavier muscle and bone they carry.
ABOUT THE VENOMLINE BLOODLINE
Unlike many American Bully kennels, Venomline’s dogs are DNA & Health Tested & profiled, their puppies come with health certificates by a licensed veterinarian and ABKC registration paperwork. Puppies are up to date on all shots & de-wormed and also come with a health guarantee covering any genetic related issues. Venomline also ships semen (Stud Service) worldwide.
In addition to being home to two former BULLY KING Magazine Mascots in Venom & Omega, Venomline also has other Top Pocket & Standard Bully Studs to choose from. They are also experienced with the import process and regulation requirements for shipping semen into any country.
Venomline Studs are some of the most sought after Studs in the world. The demand for offspring off of Venomline Studs adds to the value of their Stud Service and also helps their customers focus on their litter, not worrying about sales.

What separates Venomline from many other breeders are the females in their breeding program. Many breeders will use a top Studs, but Venomline knows that it takes both a Top level Stud and a Top Level female to produce top quality litters on a consistent basis.
Females are integral to the success of any breeding program. Without using top quality female to match a Top Stud, litters will more than likely end up being a watered down version of what was initially hoped for.
Knowing this, Venomline’s focus for over the past 7 years has been primarily producing the best possible Pocket Females to match up with their Top Tier Studs. Venomline’s foundation Females that are some of the best in the world and linebred to produce.
The result can be seen in their productions.

The American Bully became one of the fastest growing new breeds in 2014 and has remained in the Top 5 each year since. In 2018, the American Bully was the fastest growing dog breed in terms of popularity and hasn’t shown signs of slowing down since. The breed is on track to finish 2019 in similar fashion. So why are so many falling in love with this breed?
Even with the American Bully breed’s explosive growth and expansion into new countries and territories, there is still confusion about the breed accompanied by many misconceptions. Inaccurate information online made worse by ill informed media have furthered misunderstanding regarding the breed. There are some who still confuse the American Bully breed with it’s cousin the American Pit Bull Terrier, but both are distinct and separate breeds each recognized by several respected registries as such.

AMERICAN BULLY TRAITS
The American Bully is a companion breed exhibiting confidence, a zest for life, along with an exuberant will to please and companionship with their family. This making the American Bully an excellent family companion.
Despite the American Bully’s fierce and powerful appearance their demeanor is gentle and great with kids. They are friendly with strangers, other dogs, and other animals. Human or dog aggression, extreme shyness or viciousness is very uncharacteristic of the American Bully and is highly undesirable.

It is important to note the ABKC got rid of the extreme class. So there are currently 4 Classes
ABKC AMERICAN BULLY CLASSES 2014-PRESENT
This is an amendment to the basic standard which a Pocket Bully is determined by its adult height.
Males under 17″ and no less than 14″ at the withers. Females under 16″ and no less than 13″ at the withers.
The American Bully should give the impression of great strength for it’s size. It is a compact and medium/large size dog with a muscular body and blocky head. The American Bully should have the appearance of heavy bone structure with a bulky build and look.
Males 17 inches — 20 inches (43 cm — 51 cm) at the withers. Females 16 inches — 19 inches (40 cm — 48 cm) at the withers.
An amendment to the basic standard. A Classic Bully is determined by it’s body structure and build. Both sex dogs with lighter body frames and less overall body mass, but still exibiting “bully” traits.
Classic Bully variety is simply an American Bully dog having lighter body frames (lighter bone) and less overall body mass (less substance) than the Standard American Bully. Aside from this difference, the Classic Bully variety follows the same standard as the Standard American Bully.
This is an amendment to the basic standard, determined by it’s adult height. It is important to note that the XL Bully variety is simply taller than the Standard American Bully. XL dogs share the same build, body type and breed type as the Standard American Bully.
Males over 20″-23″ at the withers. Females over 19″-22″ at the withers.

With no restrictions on illegal immigration even amidst a pandemic, it came as no surprise when a Texas state became wary over the swelling number of migrants. It is not just the fact that immigrants are swelling up, but they are being let go by the border patrol without even testing them for COVID-19 and the cost of their testing and providing them quarantine facilities are being paid for by the state of Texas.
On Wednesday, a state senator from the border area of South Texas told Border Report that the City of McAllen “sounded the alarm” to state leaders over the swelling numbers of migrants released last week by DHS officials. To deal with mass immigration during COVID-19, 10,000 COVID-19 test kits have been sent to the city to assess migrants who are being paroled under the recently reimplemented catch-and-release program of the department.
State Sen. Juan “Chuy” Hinojosa said that the test kits were sent after McAllen Mayor Jim Darling last week reached out to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, over the swelling numbers of migrants who suddenly were being dropped at the city’s downtown bus station. He said that many of these migrants boarded buses without being tested for the coronavirus.
He stated, “(Border Patrol agents) were just dropping them off at the bus station without testing them. Obviously, that’s very alarming to all of us in that they’re coming from Central America and through Mexico and to be released into the United States without being tested for COVID is really unconscionable.”
The migrants who test COVID-19 positive are sent to nearby hotels to quarantine before getting on public transportation.
While Biden reversed Trump’s policy on immigration, he probably forgot that the world is gripped in COVID-19 and his policy reversals would require certain infrastructure at the border and certain special provisions for states along the border. Or it may have just slipped his mind because of the other 42 executive decisions that he signed in the first week of assuming office in White House.
Border patrol’s inability to check the migrants have put the onus on the state to test these immigrants they never wanted in the first place. Besides, the migrants who test COVID-19 positive are being put into hotels because of the lack of quarantine infrastructure at the border and the cost of their stay is being paid for by the Texas citizens.
The United States is already reeling under the economic repercussions of the pandemic. Biden’s decision to lift restrictions on ‘illegal aliens’ will have a grave impact on the country and not just an economic one as the new US President has incidentally left the states to fend for themselves, but these migrants are also legitimate sources of transmitting the virus.
Texas became one of the first states which saw a steady increase in revenue as they successfully balanced the cases and business interests through lockdowns. Besides, it is also one of the big Republican states which had supported Trump’s immigration ban and his border wall. Now they are being forced to pay for the testing, the quarantine hotels and other basic amenities for the ‘illegal aliens’ they did not want in the first place.
It was Biden’s decision to allow migrants in the US. Thus, it should be the responsibility of the US President to manage their expenses. And, the costs must be borne out of the federal budget and not the state’s budget. Moreover, the infrastructure for quarantine and COVID-19 tests kits must be paid for by Washington.
Biden should be deeply concerned by the tensions this imposition could cause. Texans are proud Americans with a rich heritage. Recently, the spirit of secession has rekindled and the imposition over the state government to pay for ‘illegal immigrants’ could easily boil over into something even bigger. | <urn:uuid:2a5004fa-cf89-4f49-aecd-26199353d6cd> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://tfiglobalnews.com/2021/02/06/the-covid-19-infected-illegal-aliens-who-recently-got-legalised-will-stay-in-plush-texas-hotels-at-taxpayers-expense/ | 2023-09-28T17:10:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.972495 | 798 |
Super Flyweight boxer Oliver Flores (23-1-2, 16 KO’s), one of Nicaragua’s most promising fighters has spent his entire career fighting outside of his native Nicaragua and is looking to make his long awaited homecoming after a seven month layoff since recently signing with Nicaraguan boxing promoter Prodesa.
The Leon native was under contract with Proucciones Deportivas from Mexico but was released after a second round knockout loss to Mexican Miguel Berchlet which resulted in his undefeated streak coming to an end.
Flores is only 21 and has time on his side to come back from the loss. It would be expected for Flores to fight a few times at home then venture elsewhere to get his name out there. So in the mean time, he can better himself as a fighter and build himself into a contender and eventually a champion. | <urn:uuid:e1730766-7fe4-40e2-8316-b08952bcf939> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://thaboxingvoice.com/oliver-flores-looks-toward-homecoming-fight-in-his-native-nicaragua/ | 2023-09-28T17:22:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.989219 | 177 |

This hilarious “Top 50” video has been making the rounds online today, it highlights some of the 50 worst voice acting performances in video game history. Absolutely priceless. It takes me back to a more innocent time in my game filled youth.
Most of the games featured on the list are from the late 1990’s and were produced in Japan. Most of the awfulness can surely be attributed to voice actors just looking for a quick buck, but the writers and translators certainly bear some responsibility here. Some titles are so bad that they’re featured on the list more than once.
I’m sad to see that the atrocious voice acting from Castlevania Symphony of the Night did not make the cut. Truly terrible stuff. | <urn:uuid:217c2ab1-03c8-4bb6-b2f0-4c82008c7cb3> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://thatshelf.com/50-awful-game-voice-acting-performances/ | 2023-09-28T18:06:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.962936 | 154 |
Last year, Abdul-Aliy Muhammad published an article in The Philadelphia Inquirer outlining some disturbing news: Penn Museum and Princeton University had been holding the remains of two children killed in the MOVE bombing for 36 years without the families’ consent (The Inquirer).
In 1985, the Philadelphia Police Department bombed a residential home belonging to MOVE, a Black radical group. The attack started with an armed standoff, where police officers spent over 10,000 rounds of ammunition. When the residents did not exit the home, police dropped a bomb on the premises. The resulting fire killed six MOVE members and five of their children and destroyed 65 houses in the neighborhood — fires that were left to spread intentionally by law enforcement (Blackpast).
• Learn more about the MOVE bombing of 1985 in this short video.
• Donate to the GoFundMe to help the family repurchase the MOVE house that was stolen by the city after the attack.
• Support the global movement to free Mumia Abu-Jamal, a journalist and former Black Panther.
• Consider: What tragedies like this might you be unaware of in your city? Do research on the civil rights movement and tension between marginalized groups and law enforcement throughout history where you live.
The sheer lack of respect for the victims of this bombing was evident 36 years ago. Abdul-Aliy Muhammad notes that many of the bodies decomposed in a city morgue for six months after the incident instead of being returned to family members. And Penn Museum and Princeton University are both guilty of the same carelessness and lack of accountability. Some of the remains that passed between the two institutions are of Tree Africa and Delisha Africa, who were 14 and 12 years old, respectively, when they died. These remains were even featured in a Princeton University’s online course, where a professor can be seen handling and examining a badly burned femur and pelvic bone (The Philadelphia Inquirer). The family of Tree believed that they had buried her remains alongside her sister Zanetta who was 12 when she died in the bombing. The NYTimes published a comprehensive story in reflection of her life and legacy.
In a public press conference held by the victims’ families, the pain and heartbreak they’ve experienced are visceral. They discuss not just the state-sanctioned violence they’ve experienced since the bombing in 1985 but the horror of learning about the remains.
Those remains are not my sister, Tree Tree. My sister Tree Tree was flesh and blood. I’ll never have her back…They can’t give me back my sisters, my brothers. They can’t repair what they have done. There are no demands that they can meet to rectify this situation. Nothing.”Janine Africa, at the MOVE Family Press Conference
This wasn’t even the first time Penn had been careless with remains. In 2020, the museum announced that it would remove its Morton Cranial Collection from view (Penn Museum). The collection included hundreds of skulls, many proven to be from enslaved Africans, Native Americans, and Cubans (The Daily Pennsylvanian). The skulls were collected by Samuel George Morton, a 19th-century University of Pennsylvania graduate who believed in the pseudoscience of phrenology, the measurement of skull shape and size that was said to prove that some races are inferior to others (Hyperallergic). Phrenology is not just scientifically inaccurate. It offered a “scientific” rationale for the systemic oppression of people from marginalized races and ethnicities (Vassar) and laid the foundation for 20th-century eugenics.
After advocates demanded that Penn Museum begin repatriating the remains of the MOVE bombing victims, the museum arranged for the remains to be transferred to a local funeral home and issued a formal apology to the surviving members (NYTimes). But when you read much of the press surrounding the latest allegations, many articles center their apology and intentions, not the demands of the family harmed.
These issues aren’t unique to Penn, though. Museums worldwide hold human remains, including skulls, skeletons, bone fragments, and even preserved heads, both on display and in storage. The practice is rooted in colonization. Throughout the 19th century, European settlers would “collect” body parts of non-European communities, either as keepsakes or for “scientific purpose” like the phrenological research noted above. These remains were often taken forcefully, without consent, and with no regard for cultural and spiritual practices for honoring the remains of the dead. The Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa estimates that the preserved tattooed heads of at least 600 known Māori and Moriori ancestors are located in European museums. Over the past decade, they’ve repatriated at least 500 other remains back – a time-intensive and costly process that the source communities are responsible for (Artnet).
Although museums in the U.S. have human remains of Indigenous communities from around the world, they hold far more remains of Indigenous communities who stewarded the lands now referred to as North America. They also host remains of enslaved African American people. Earlier this year, Harvard University announced that amidst its collection of 22,000 human remains, at least 15 were the remains of enslaved African people. They issued an apology and committed to creating a committee for properly addressing these remains (Harvard). The Smithsonian Institution houses the nation’s most extensive collection of human remains, many of which are located at the National Museum of Natural History. They, too, are expected to make a statement on their role of holding African American remains (NYTimes).
Although repatriation is a clear path to address these wrongdoings, it’s not straightforward for African American remains. Many remains were collected without information about where they came from and who those people were. In addition, it can be challenging to identify their present-day descendants. Beyond that – where do the remains belong? Are they laid to rest here in the United States or sent back to their country of origin? Who has the power to make that decision if no descendants can be identified? The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act of 1990 provides one option. The law requires institutions that receive federal funding to consult with the Indigenous communities where the remains are from to repatriate them publicly (NPS). No similar law exists for African American enslaved people – yet.
But there is a clear and direct way to address the harm inflicted on the victims and families of the MOVE bombing. Today, take a moment to complete the action items above. And, more broadly, stay engaged in the unfolding conversations on remains housed in public institutions. Notice how artifacts were gathered and whether or not they’re displayed in partnership with the Indigenous communities they represent. And rally for the repatriation of those remains whenever called for by their families.
• Penn Museum and Princeton University held the remains of two children killed in the MOVE bombing of 1985 hostage for 36 years without the consent or consideration of the families.
• Across the world, museums hold the remains of marginalized communities, often without the support of these communities.
• Public institutions deserve to be held responsible for the harm they inflict by storing and/or displaying the remains of people without consent. | <urn:uuid:4dbf4782-ffe7-47eb-a622-627cd4584d13> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://the-ard.com/2022/11/04/the-move-bombing-and-the-repatriation-of-human-remains/ | 2023-09-28T16:37:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.960626 | 1,503 |

Dior has some great everyday makeup staples and I wanted to do a blog roundup for those of you who still prefer detailed blog posts versus video or social media posts. I’ve done a few tutorial videos on my Instagram which I will include below for reference. Many thanks to each of you who took the time to leave a nice comment on the video or messaged me! I truly appreciate the support!
I love Dior for their beautiful limited-edition collections but today’s roundup focuses on staples that are part of their more permanent collection. I usually shop for Dior at Sephora because they have the Backstage Line or Dior.com because they often have great deluxe samples available with your purchase. I love getting those little samples of their La Privee fragrance line to try! Also the Dior website usually stocks the entire collection for limited-edition launches while it seems like other retailers don’t always have everything.
There are two foundations I love from Dior. If you like medium to full coverage with a glow, the Dior Forever Skin Glow Foundation ($52) is a nice one with SPF 35. I use either the Shade 2.5N or 3N. It has a natural radiant finish with good lasting power. I do find the color oxidizes and darkens slightly once it sets.
For a more fluid lightweight finish the BACKSTAGE Face & Body Foundation ($40) is a popular one you can use to blend out imperfections and uneven tones. It’s a sheer natural finish but has buildable coverage. It’s waterproof and sweat resistant. I love the BACKSTAGE Customizable Set that’s a Sephora.com exclusive. It’s the same price as the individual foundation but comes with a large mesh zip pouch and a mini primer.
Another product I love is the Dreamskin Fresh Perfect Cushion, but this is more of a skincare SPF product with a tint in one versus a foundation. I love the formula and wear but the shade range is horrendous. I love cushions but they still haven’t seemed to taken off in the US.
The Dior Forever Skin Correct Concealer ($36) has been a cult classic for quite some time but I never tried it until recently. It 100% lives up to the hype and is now in my Top 3 formulas for multi-tasking. It’s creamy, opaque, easy to blend and makes me look more alive. I ordered quite a few shades since I wasn’t sure how it would perform color-wise. Shade 2.5N is my favorite for my skin tone but for brightening 2N or 2W work for me too.
If you try one thing from Dior I would recommend that you try the concealer.
The Backstage Powder is a pressed blurring powder with a sheer finish. It still has enough color that you need a good match. I picked one shade lighter than my usual tone because I found the colors run dark. (Also on the face in this Dior Lip Glow post here.)
The Forever Loose Cushion Powder is cased in a beautiful compact with a mesh cover and powder puff. This is a sheer matte finish powder that sets the makeup really nicely. I like that it’s matte but not overly matte. I would say the main downside is the price. It’s expensive for the amount of product you get.
I recently ordered a few beauty tools from Dior and really like the Dior Backstage Kabuki Brush 17 ($57). There are a lot of good retractable brushes out there so if you already have one I’d recommend sticking with what you have. I do like having a cover on some of my brushes as it makes it easier for touch ups on the go or for travel.
Dior blushes and bronzers have also gone through multiple reformulations and revamps over the years. I really love the blushes and wish there were more colors! Rouge Blush ($44) in Charnelle 459 is a really nice brownish neutral with a satin glow. Formula is soft, blendable and melts into the skin beautifully!
The Dior Backstage Rosy Glow Blush ($37) in 001 Pink is like the Lip Glow but for cheeks. Your mileage may vary depending on your skin tone but I like this for a really natural light pink flush. It does adjust on my skin a few minutes after application. It’s almost always sold out at Sephora, but still available at Dior.com.
For bronzer the Dior Forever Natural Bronze ($48) is one of the best matte bronzers I’ve tried. Looking at the pan it’s not 100% matte. I would call this a radiant matte. I use Shade 05 Warm Bronze but can also wear 03 Soft Bronze. It warms up the complexion in a natural way and I like the color tones. This is another example of a product where Dior.com has more shade options available than other retailers. If you’re ultra fair 01 Fair Bronze looks like one that won’t be too dark for you.
The 5 Couleurs Couture Eyeshadow Palettes ($62) are palettes I think I’ve tried in every re-formulation since the 2000s. This current formulation has the softest most finely milled texture out of all the Dior eyeshadows I’ve tried. They can be on the delicate side so I’d recommend being a little more careful with the palettes. Dior.com has the most color options available. To track down other shades you might have to do a bit of shopping around. Four I really like are New Look, Nude Dress, Mitzah and Poncho. They have a good mix of finishes with mattes, shimmers, satins and sparkles. Even the mattes have a luminous subtle glow.
Pigment is medium to full and buildable. The soft texture makes it easy to blend and layer.
Dior has so many formulas of mascara it’s hard to pick a favorite. I’ve tried so many over the years but most recently repurchased the Diorshow Maximizer 3D Triple Volume Plumping Lash Primer ($29.50, one of the best lash primers) and the Diorshow Iconic Overcurl Mascara ($29.50). I really love the overcurl formula for volume and holding the curl. I also BACKSTAGE Lash Curler ($26) which is pretty good!
For lips I love the Lip Maximizers ($35) for a nice plumping gloss that doesn’t have the sharp sting. Colors adjust on my lips with a subtle tint. I have quite a few shades but find I reach for 001 Pink, 012 Rosewood or 016 Shimmer Nude the most. I also really love Ultra Pink (limited-edition shade).
For lipstick and lipliners I have to admit I find the color options a little overwhelming, especially when counters like Nordstrom, Sephora or Neimans don’t always have the full color range. I picked Nude Look 100 in the Rouge Dior Lipstick ($38) and Lip Contour Lip Liner ($31) and LOVE the color. For a liquid lip the Rouge Dior Forever Liquid Transfer-Proof Lipstick ($38) in Forever Nude 100 is a close match with a lightweight finish.
Wearing the lipstick below:
That wraps up my Dior favorites roundup! If you’ve watched my videos and wanted a blog roundup with more detail I hope you found this helpful! Many of you have mentioned it’s more helpful to see application in a video format so I’m linking the videos below for reference.

Do you have any Dior Makeup favorites?

College tuition continues to outpace inflation rates across the nation at both public and private universities. Lehigh’s tuition for the 2015-16 academic year rose about 3 percent from the previous academic year, from $44,520 to $45,860. This $1,340 increase raised the total cost of attending Lehigh as an undergraduate – including tuition, room and board, and technologies – to $58,510.
According to a recent article published by Time Money, the College Board reported that college tuition and fees rose more than 3 percent from previous year, despite the fact that the government has reported almost no inflation over the past 12 months.
However, this is not a recent trend. Tuition has been on the rise for the past several decades, and this has been especially evident in the past decade. According to Stephen Guttman, the director of Lehigh’s Finance and Administration Budget Office, the cost of tuition in 2006 was $33,770. In fewer than 10 academic years, Lehigh’s tuition has increased by $12,090.
“This year there was a 3 percent increase from last year,” said Patricia A. Johnson, vice president for Finance and Administration. “The percentage of increase has been going down, at least in the last three years. The percentage increases used to be higher because inflation was higher.”
Johnson said one reason for the increase in tuition is compliance, such as Title IX reporting, which requires Lehigh to hire an Equal Opportunity Compliance Coordinator. The funds have also been used for career planning and placement services, as well as building renovation.
“The university is 150 years old and there are buildings that we have to upkeep,” Johnson said. “We have to create value for the students and build new buildings or renovate the old ones.”
Technology changes, as well as increases in salaries for faculty and staff members, have also contributed to the rise in tuition.
According to the Finance and Administration Department’s published budget for the 2014-15 academic year, approximately 56 percent of the $475 million budget came from tuition and fees, Lehigh’s largest source of operating revenue. Other sources included endowment earnings, research grants and auxiliary expenses.
Approximately 36 percent of the total budget last year was used for salary and wages, 22 percent for general expenses, 20 percent for financial aid, 11 percent for employee benefits, and the remaining for facilities and debt service.
According to the Time article, financial aid has not been keeping pace with tuition hikes at most universities, causing the net price of college to increase for students. However, despite the tuition increase in recent years, Johnson does not believe that this has deterred students from attending Lehigh.
“We ask donors to help us out, and we definitely do try to keep up pace with the cost of tuition,” Johnson said. She explained that while many private schools are able to keep up with the tuition changes and offer larger financial aid packages, public universities may be unable to do so, given the fact that most are receiving less funding from state governments.
Lehigh is in the middle of a campaign to retrieve endowment money, according to Johnson, which would make it possible to offer more financial aid. Lehigh is attempting to offer its financial aid packages to a socioeconomically diverse population.
The cost of attending Lehigh is slightly less compared to similar institutions in the area. While Lehigh’s tuition is $45,860, tuition is $46,902 at Bucknell University, $46,966 at Villanova University, $49,970 at Colgate University and $47,010 at Lafayette College.
“We are actually on the low end of what we consider our peer group, and we offer a better financial aid package,” Johnson said.
The average price of tuition at a private university this year rose to $47,831, which was up $1,560, or 3.4 percent, from last year. Even with loans and grants, families are still paying a net price of $30,300 per year.
One of the ways that Lehigh is seeking to cut costs is by looking to new technologies for answers. Online course registration, electronic bills and digitized accounting systems have recently been implemented as a part of this initiative.
“We’re trying to change utility costs,” Johnson said. “We’ve looked at different ways of doing snow removal, and we bid out contracts every year to the lowest provider. We use outside vendors for grounds keeping and housecleaning because we can negotiate those contracts every year, and this keep the costs down.”
Despite these efforts to cut costs, tuition continues to rise, both at Lehigh and across the nation. | <urn:uuid:14fa431f-7999-4273-a9ce-bca59adc55f1> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://thebrownandwhite.com/2015/11/10/tuition-rise-despite-lack-inflation/ | 2023-09-28T18:25:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.969732 | 993 |
In an era of social media and instant news, the case involving CARICOM national Shanique Myrie represents a major blow to Barbados and its tourism industry.
This headline making incident at Grantley Adams International Airport (GAIA) in which Myrie was body searched has been all over the blogosphere including the Associated Press which ran an article entitled, “Jamaican woman wins dispute over body search.”
I did not receive the news immediately but recalled inviting a colleague in Trinidad to visit Barbados for some relaxation and her immediate retort was, “no way, I hear you all raping women over there at the airport; it’s all over Facebook over here.”
This is a sad day for Barbados on so many levels. That this case has reached the highest court in the land and could not have been resolved before reaching this point, is embarrassing to say the least. This speaks therefore to the arrogance of Barbados’ officialdom and perhaps to underlying hubris in the national Barbadian character that needs to be checked urgently. It is the arrogance that ultimately motivated the court to rule in Myrie’s favor.
Shanique Myrie may have suffered the ultimate humiliation of a cavity search but thank God she stood up for her rights. Hopefully, this landmark case will change the way CARICOM nationals are treated and finally remove the shackles of intra-island discrimination and the petty nationalism that came along with the experiment of independence and nation-building some 50 years ago. The irony is that when we were all colonies of Britain, free movement of our citizens was not an issue. It’s a pity that the lofty ideal of self-determination brought along with it, the ugliest of human behavior – discrimination, plain and simple.
That Barbados would hire some of its best lawyers to defend this case is even more startling. If ever there was a foreign policy blunder, this has to go down in history as one of the country’s biggest blunders since independence. The reason being, Barbados’ national hero and premier of the West Indies Federation experiment, Sir Grantley Adams, ought to be a source of national pride. Barbados always took pride in Sir Grantley Adams’ achievement and our role in leading and scripting the integration narrative. Irony of ironies would have it that Shanique suffered her humiliation at the port named after that hero himself – Grantley Adams International Airport (GAIA).
However, Shanique is not alone. Almost daily, there are horror stories emanating from GAIA as to the rough and inhospitable treatment meted out to visitors and Barbadians alike. No one seems to escape the blatant rudeness of airport workers starting from the check-in counters right through to the moment of boarding and bidding the country’s bad customer service farewell.
Let’s use this opportunity as a nation not to feel ashamed but to offer a national apology to Shanique Myrie. Let’s use this moment to rebuild our national pride and understand what the name Sir Grantley Adams truly means and represents in the journal of Caribbean history and integration. That Barbados along with Guyana are the only two CARICOM countries employing the Caribbean Court of Justice as its final appellate court also speaks volumes to our continued leadership role in pushing forward the integration agenda. The most ironic twist to the Shanique saga is that her country Jamaica has not yet signed onto the Caribbean Court of Justice as their final appellate court. Now let’s talk about self-determination.

The Centre for Journalism Innovation and Development’s (CJID) Campus Reporter observers have been refused access to collation centres in the 2023 Presidential and National Assembly elections. Where concerned, the observers are the only ones within their jurisdiction and as such the organization cannot be said to have more than one representative as directed by INEC.
The observers have been waiting through rain, violence and damning conditions to ensure that collated results announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) are accurately reported to the public. However, some observers report that they are being denied access, and asked to vacate the premises where the collation of election results is taking place.
Kwara Central Senatorial Collation Centre denied access to one observer on the ground because his observer tag only bears “field” and not “Collation Centre”. At the Sokoto South Senatorial District Collation Centre, an observer was escorted out of the collation centre by an officer of the Department of State Services (DSS) despite verifying his identity as a media observer.
Additionally, at the Edo State INEC headquarters, CJID’s media observer was kicked out by the Chief Security Officer who claimed that the organisation was not on his list of registered observers.
CJID decries this poor treatment of her INEC-accredited media observers tasked with observing the elections to ensure the validity and transparency of the process. We urge that all observers should be allowed to go about their duty without any form of harassment in line with INEC’s guidelines. | <urn:uuid:ecea68c2-6fa0-49fc-9366-a298498f7c31> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://thecjid.org/media-observers-barred-from-collation-centres/ | 2023-09-28T18:15:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.972059 | 323 |

Dealing with Stress in the Face of Change
Stress Management for Change
Dealing with Stress in the Face of Change by Dr. Marilyn Manning
The best leaders follow tried-and-true methods to help relieve anxiety. Change is inevitable. Whether you’re at the top or the bottom of an organization, one thing you can count on in the future is that there will be change. Another thing you can count on is that these changes—whatever they turn out to be—will cause stress to you and your employees, since stress is a normal human response to change. The past year has seen unprecedented changes in the semiconductor equipment industry—we went from a year of more than 80 percent growth and unbridled optimism to a year of 40 percent decline, massive layoffs and mergers, and general unease about the future of whole segments of the industry. The events of September 11 induced their own anxiety, leaving many people with heightened feelings of stress.
However, all these changes showed that the established and accepted methods for mitigating stress are still effective. The wake-up call from the past year showed that managers who are able to accept change today and plan for change in the future are those who followed a few simple guidelines. These are their keys:
Give Frequent Feedback and Updates
For companies and employees who face major changes—such as layoffs—ongoing communication is key. One of the causes of stress in layoffs or terminations is that employees may not be fully informed. In trying to be sensitive to potential layoffs and other negative situations, managers may attempt to protect employees from the truth. However, lack of information leads to uncertainty and anxiety, often seen in rumors, gossip and general loss of productivity. A much better approach is to keep staff informed about anticipated changes in an educational way. There’s a fine line, however, between keeping them “in the loop” and sending them into panic with too much information, and wise managers know how to strike that balance. This lesson—while patently obvious—is one that should be applied all year, even when there seems to be little information to communicate. The message—that the communication lines are always open—is one that is positive and should be reinforced throughout the year.
Many managers routinely give appraisals once a year, but regular, ongoing feedback will remind employees of performance expectations as well as giving them company updates. Follow Ken Blanchard’s advice in The One Minute Manager: When you see an employee doing something wrong, give a “oneminute reprimand,” and if you see something positive, give praise on the spot. If you are in constant communication with employees, there should be few surprises, and employees will be able to feel more in control of their own futures.
Use Measured Assignments for Feedback
We all need feedback. It’s often the lack of feedback and information that adds to stress levels. Most of us know or sense when information is being withheld. Most would rather hear the “news,” be it good or bad, directly from the source or their supervisor rather than through the grapevine.
If you are giving feedback, use the following process. Clearly tell employees what changes in behavior or direction you would like to see. You must be precise about what they need to accomplish or change, and you must include specific measurable results. You should always clarify your expectations and theirs.
Remember that communication can produce stress when assumptions are not checked out, when emotions are running high, and when we aren’t following up dialog with something in writing. Write an agreement, set a date by which the employee must meet the goals and time-frames described in the assignment, and have him or her sign it. For example you can say, “You must improve your accuracy to 98 percent by June 30. We will look at your progress on the first of every month to assess progress and resolve any problems during this time period. Let’s get together in my office at 9:00 a.m. on those days to discuss your performance, and we’ll do a wrap-up meeting on June 30 for a final assessment.”
Transition Stages for Major Changes
Managers must recognize the transition stages for all major changes, including layoffs. Change, especially imposed change, causes stress. There is a typical progression that you and the employee will go through in accepting reorganizations, terminations, layoffs or any other major change.
Denial. First, you may deny that the action or change is necessary. Managers often deny that the situation is critical. The employee also may deny the situation, thinking, “They won’t let me go, I’ve been here too long.” While you may not be able to guide employees to a level of acceptance, it is especially important for you to accept the situation. You have to see how these actions are for the overall good of the organization and its success or survival, and your leadership will be seen and reflected by others.
Resistance. People understand negative situations, but often can’t take action. They can become immobilized. As the parties recognize the problem, they may first blame each other for the situation. The manager thinks, “If she only completed more projects, she wouldn’t be in this situation.” The employee believes: “It’s the manager’s fault that I didn’t get adequate training so that I could be successful in my job. I should have been protected.”
Self-blame. Next, most people go through self-blame. The manager may think, “It’s my fault. I should have offered more help.” The employee might say, “I should have put in more hours” or “I should have transferred to another project.” As a manager, you have to monitor your own reactions to change and stress. If you are in a state of denial or resistance, you will not be an effective coach or leader. Do your homework, understand the strategies and the big picture, and move through your negative emotions quickly.
Exploration and Acceptance. The next stage of transitioning through change and reducing stress is acceptance and exploring your options. The manager thinks, “I hate to do it, but I have to let them go. These are the steps I’m going to have to take.” The employee may say, “I now understand why it didn’t work out and I know what I can do to succeed and protect my job next time” or “I know what training I need in order to reposition myself.” A manager’s role at this stage is to guide employees to look at options, to provide them with any available resources, and to encourage them to make needed changes.
Don’t Feel Guilty
Some people actually feel a sense of relief once they hear the news. They have been aware that the situation is critical, and they have not been happy. Closure to this stressful time is usually welcomed. Also, keep in mind that a large number of those who are terminated are much more successful at another company or in another occupation. According to the U.S. Department of Labor statistics, of people who are laid off and re-employed, 52 percent actually make more money on their new jobs. Be aware that with layoffs, the remaining staff can experience guilt: “Why them and not me?” You’ll need to plan some team rebuilding processes.
For Serious Problems
If the situation is extreme, consider calling in a mediator. As a neutral party, a mediator or consultant can ask leading questions and coach employees to exit gracefully and quickly, and coach the survivors to cope with the losses and inevitable increased workloads. It may be one of the best investments you make. Win-win exiting is possible. Acting quickly and with expert help can restore your team and organization back to high productivity and improved morale.
The most successful managers understand that their core job is to enable employees to succeed. If a manager is practicing ongoing communication, setting realistic but challenging expectations, helping employees to learn and grow, then they will be better prepared to lead. If a manager can help employees to understand that change is inevitable, they can integrate that preparation for change into everyday operations. Learning to become comfortable with being uncomfortable about constant change is a skill necessary for leadership success today. | <urn:uuid:1e81fc3b-a022-4e43-83b3-96b26277a143> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://theconsultingteam.com/dealing-with-stress-in-the-face-of-change/ | 2023-09-28T17:45:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.96356 | 1,746 |
Today, we’re sharing the easiest way to DIY Robin Eggs!
From Puffy Paint to DIY Robin Egg Inspiration…
When my sisters and I were younger, one of my aunts used to embellish all of our cheerleading outfits for camp.
And by embellish I mean rhinestones, sequins, ribbons, and of course Puffy Paint.
Did you guys ever use that stuff?
Back in the day, Puffy Paint was ALL THE RAGE and all of my cheer camp outfits were decked to the nines ?
We used to spend hours at my aunt’s house painting those outfits to perfection.
She had a “secret” technique for getting the paint splattered “just so” which I had completely forgotten about until I was in the middle of making an easy Spring wreath and realized I could put that secret paint technique to good use.
Here’s a peek at the easiest way to DIY Robin Eggs…
We’ve had this old egg basket filled with plastic eggs for a while now.
Egg baskets like this must have also been all the rage when farmhouse style was popular back in the eighties.
I remember so many people using them to decorate with either shades of red and mustard or country blue and mauve in kitchens everywhere.
I recently came across the egg basket in my inventory closet and decided to give the eggs a bit of an update.
Painting DIY Robin Eggs…
Valspar makes a really pretty color called Tropical Spray which is a pale blue/turquoise color that is similar to the shade of Robin eggs.
Plastic eggs are not always easy to paint so I inserted a toothpick in the bottom of the egg
and used a piece of floral foam to give the painted eggs a place to dry.
You can either use a craft brush or a sponge brush to paint the eggs.
This is after one coat…
and this is after two coats.
Make sure the paint has completely dried before moving on to the next step.
Creating the Speckles…
Now for the “secret” paint technique!
As you guys know, a Robin egg typically has tiny brown speckles.
To add those speckles to your painted egg, first, lay a piece of plastic down on your work surface because this part is messy.
Then add a small amount of brown craft paint to a plastic plate, bowl, or clean lid whatever you have on hand.
Next, take a toothbrush and dip the brush head into the craft paint.
Place your thumb or pointer finger onto the toothbrush head and rub the bristles back and forth creating a spray pattern onto your DIY Robin eggs.
You can make the paint speckles be as heavy
or as light as you want them to be.
Be sure to allow the paint to dry completely.
This is the reason you want to make sure your surfaces are completely protected. The spray gets all over!
Just a heads up…
Also, just a heads up, be really careful when you store these DIY Robin Eggs once the season is over. The paint will easily stick together if you don’t wrap and store them properly!
I added a bit of raffia back to the vintage egg basket shown above…
…but here’s a similar look if you wanted to use ironstone.
It’s super easy to snuggle the DIY Robin Eggs inside a basket or container. They’re great used as a quick and easy addition to an Easter tablescape or spring kitchen décor.
Have I told you guys how excited I am Spring has almost arrived?
I’m all about second chances and fresh starts so I can’t wait to welcome a new season. Hope you’re excited about all the good things coming your way this Spring too!

Ugnaughts are a porcine humanoid race of aliens who have made several appearances in the Star Wars franchise before with their most recent portrayal taking place in The Mandalorian.
Ugnaughts originally hail from the planet Gentes but many of them who were recruited to build the Cloud City of Bespin considered that their home. Their species was spread across the galaxy because of their well-renowned work ethic.
The Ugnaughts were considered one of the hardest-working species in the galaxy who had brilliant problem-solving skills and were particularly adept droid smiths as well.
When Din Djarin and Bo-Katan visit Plazir-15, they come across the Ugnaughts responsible for the droid maintenance in the domed settlement.
When they arrive at the Ugnaught workshop, the mechanics are hard at work and pay no heed to Bo-Katan’s words. Din Djarin uses his experiences to get their attention, speaking to them in their distinct form of communication.
Bo tells them about the malfunctioning droids but they insist that it is not the case as that would mean their work is not up to the standards held. Djarin once again frames things in a way that is favorable to them and they agree to help.
They provide him with the location of the next possible malfunction and later, he explains to Bo that her method of questioning read as an insult toward them.
A close friend
Most of Djarin’s knowledge of Ugnaughts came from his interactions with Kuiil, an Ugnaught he met during his travels trying to capture his bounty, Grogu.
Kuiil proved to be an incredibly useful ally and was also responsible for reprogramming IG-11, the one droid that Din Djarin trusted in his life.
Kuill stayed behind to keep Grogu safe while Djarin traveled to Nevarro but unfortunately lost his life while trying to escape after being warned about incoming stormtroopers. | <urn:uuid:3fb84cd4-4415-4528-bbb5-a39e45580a54> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://theenvoyweb.com/explainers/ugnaughts-the-mandalorian-s3-characters/ | 2023-09-28T18:22:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.983283 | 422 |

Former President of the United States George Herbert Walker Bush has died on November 30, 2018. He was the last of the U.S. Presidents to have served in World War II and held a single term in office from January 20, 1989, to January 20, 1993. Although brief, his time in politics helped shape the politics of the coming decades. His son, George W. Bush confirmed the death of his father in a statement Friday evening.
The former President was 94-years-old when he died and had just lost his wife Barbara last June who he was married to for 73 years. Since her passing, He has been struggling with medical issues such as a blood infection. The short but effective term saw the last days of the Cold War and brought about a family of politicians who would influence America for decades to come. Spokesman Jim McGrath offered an official statement announcing the tragedy on Twitter.

Bush was caught by the allure of the political life in 1962 when he was chosen to head Houston's fledgling Republican Party. He worked tirelessly over the next thirty years in the political world to bring about a positive impact. His days as a politician and as President were free of any scandal for the most part, except for his involvement as vice president during the Iran-Contra scandal.
George Herbert Walker Bush was the second oldest of five children and was born in Milton, Massachusetts on June 12, 1924. His parents were Prescott and Dorothy Bush and they moved Bush and his siblings to Greenwich, Connecticut shortly after he was born. He would go on to graduate from Yale University in 1948 before setting out to Texas where he would work as an oilman. Eventually, Bush became a Congressman for Texas and remained one of the few surviving World War II veterans.
He was appointed to be U.S. ambassador to the United Nations by President Richard Nixon and would later go on to become the chairman of the Republican National Committee. As soon as he graduated from Phillips Academy on his eighteenth birthday, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy. He went on to complete a 10-month course before being commissioned in the United States Naval Reserve at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi on June 9, 1943
Following his role as U.S. ambassador to the UN, he eventually became Director of the CIA in 1976. Then the new President Gerald Ford appointed him to be envoy to China back in a time when the two countries did not have formal diplomatic communication. The Berlin Wall fell in 1989 while Bush was in office and the Soviet Union was just showing its first signs of collapse as his term ended.

Despite his old age, Bush senior would frequently attend ball games around Houston, appear at numerous charity events, and take photos with young people. He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Barack Obama in 2010 and he made one last parachute jump at the age of 90.
After the age of 90, his health began slowly declining and he eventually lost the ability to walk. He was last seen shaking hands with attendees of his wife's funeral during public visitation. It is said that the senior Bush held his wife's hand the entire day before she passed on.

HOFA Gallery is honoured to announce a female led exhibition consequently taking place on International Women's Day, 8th March, with a curated selection of artworks that distinguish between the concepts of equality and equity, correlating with this year’s campaign theme #EmbraceEquity.
Equity is inherently interpreted as utilising resources to accomplish a coherent framework uniquely applied to the individual. This is evidently exhibited throughout the multidisciplinary works of artists Ilhwa Kim, Mary Ronayne, Anne Von Freyburg, Lucile Gauvain, Sophie Victoria and Marie Pol, who each establish their distinctive contribution to the contemporary art world. Their intention is to consciously stimulate the senses, challenge perspective and inaugurate a platform of ongoing dialogue between the artwork and the viewer, through amalgamation of painting, sculpture and mixed media.
With this in mind, it is of utmost significance to discern the notion of equality, juxtaposed to equity, which is politically determined as the foundation of democracy based on the premise that individuals should be granted the same opportunities in life.
Equity, however, theoretically determines that success is attained through personal efforts and not social status. It is this inclination that propels our female artists to ascertain their position, relevance and continued dominance within the art world, as each artist consciously optimises their opportunities, whether influenced by their environment, social climate or personal progression.
‘Genesis’, acknowledging the female being the initial creator of mankind, therefore, concludes to illuminate the creative disciplines of our powerfully lead female artists, who communicate their unique aesthetic language that propagates a sense of equity, in alignment with their accomplishments. | <urn:uuid:4de69f11-e0ed-4be0-b65b-7cb76834d740> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://thehouseoffineart.com/exhibitions/142/overview/ | 2023-09-28T19:08:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.9586 | 330 |
If you are looking to venture out in your culinary creations, the adzuki bean is a good place to start. In China, the adzuki bean is believed to bring good luck, and we can all use as much of that as we can get. Because these beans originated in Asia, you could even get away with branding your new dish as “exotic” for a little added flair.
Prepare your adzuki Beans for cooking
As with most any bean, the first step in adzuki bean preparation comes with cleaning and sorting. Good quality beans are a reddish-brown color and rounded with a pointed end. Pick out any that do not meet this description and discard them. Wash your beans carefully and allow them to soak in water overnight. If time does not allow for overnight soaking, you may put them in a pressure cooker for 15 to 20 minutes.
Cooking your adzuki Beans
Compared with other beans, the adzuki bean has a relatively short cooking time. About an hour of simmering is all these beans really need to get done. If you are really in a hurry, place the beans in a pressure cooker on high pressure for 5-10 minutes. Yet another option is to cook them in a Crockpot all day on the low setting. Whichever method you choose, the end result is sure to be one to satisfy.
Things to do with cooked adzuki beans
Adzuki beans can be eaten whole by themselves or mixed into a variety of recipes. This bean’s sweet, nutty taste and grainy texture create a palatable deviation from the norm. They can be pureed and sweetened for use in cakes or seasoned whole to be served with rice. Unlimited options abound for creativity, and you may just find yourself creating your signature dish with a little experimentation.
Adzuki beans are rich in nutrients and are easier to digest than other varieties. For this reason, people who don’t normally tolerate beans well may find adzuki beans easier to stomach. If gas is a concern, make sure to discard the water used to soak the beans before adding fresh water for cooking. This tip works well for all varieties of beans and may render adzuki beans “gas-free.”
Because of the bright red color, adzuki beans are traditionally used in festive dishes prepared for celebrations. Make any meal festive by adding this “little bean” to your dishes. For a wealth of recipe ideas, visit Recipe Zaar: 41 recipies that include adzuki beans as ingredients.
What to do with leftover cooked adzuki beans
When you cook most beans, you generally want to prepare a lot at one time because of the time involved. Adzuki beans are faster to prepare, but still take a good bit of time. Cooking a big batch at once will save time and energy, so be ready with freezer bags or plastic containers to store the surplus. Beans freeze well and will keep for months in a regular freezer, and up to a year in a deep freezer.
If you didn’t prepare enough adzuki beans for storing, but still find yourself with leftovers, search your recipes for dishes you can incorporate your beans into. Mashing adzuki beans will make for a great filler in baked items or can be used as a substitute for refried beans in Mexican dishes. Oftentimes you can incorporate the beans into recipes in such a manner than no one could tell you used beans at all unless they watched you make it! It is never good practice to waste food, so get creative to really get the most out of your beans. | <urn:uuid:b75b10ba-6d68-400a-bb70-0ca5113961dc> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://thehousingforum.com/how-to-cook-adzuki-beans/ | 2023-09-28T18:02:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.933838 | 755 |
A vole is a four to five inch rodent-like animal, that is also referred to as a meadow-mouse. While voles are cute, innocent-looking creatures, they can cause quite a bit of damage to yards and gardens. If left alone, voles will burrow into a yard, causing a number of tunnels and trail-like markings around the property. If this weren’t bad enough, voles reproduce at impressive rates, which will lead to an abundance of the creatures inhabiting a yard in a few short months. This is why it is important to effectively remove voles from a yard at the first sign of infestation.
Rid Your Yard Of Voles In Four Easy Steps:
1. When ridding your yard of voles, it is important to first be sure that your yard is, in fact, inhabited by the creatures. According to All State Animal Control, the signs of vole infestation are as follows:
– Trails running throughout a yard.
– An abundance of green vole droppings that later turn gray if they are left to dry.
– Flowers, plants, and trees that appear as if they are being eaten by a small animal.
– A number of small holes throughout a yard. These holes are entrances to underground tunnels used by
These signs, which can also be viewed at www.AllStateAnimalControl.com, are indicative of a vole infestation. In addition, it is important to be sure that moles are not the problem. Moles do not eat plants. Therefore, if plants and gardens are being eaten, then voles are the problem. While moles also burrow and dig tunnels, they do not eat plants or destroy gardens, which is why many people choose to simply leave them alone.
2. After you have determined that you do indeed have voles in your yard, you may choose to trap or poison them. If you choose to trap the voles, a simple mouse trap will do. First bait the mouse traps with peanut butter or other scraps and place them outside of the entrances to the tunnels. If you have small children or animals that are frequently in the yard, it may be advisable to cover these mouse traps. Simply do so by placing a pail or other container over the entrance of the tunnel and the trap. To further weigh down the trap covering, many gardeners will choose to place a heavy object or stone on top of the pail to ensure that it is not disturbed.
3. If you are adverse to using traps, a repellent or rodenticide may be used. One effective repellent is castor oil. Simply place the castor oil outside of the tunnel entrances. This will repel the voles, and with any luck, get them to relocate. If this does not work, a rodenticide may be needed. One great product is ZB Rodent Bait. This comes in the form of small capsules that are also placed outside of the tunnel entrances and inside of the tunnels. These capsules will be eaten by the voles, which will ultimately lead to their death. While this is a less pleasant option, it may be used in the case that nothing else seems to work.
4. Once the voles have been removed, the yard should then be vole-proofed. This can be done by simply getting a cat to patrol the area. However, if the homeowner is not in need of an additional pet, other measures can be taken. Place wire wages around the case of trees to limit a vole’s food source. In addition, homeowners that frequently suffer from vole infestations may want to enlist the help of a gardener. By cleaning up a yard, voles will be less likely to find the area a suitable place to infest. | <urn:uuid:871d1e10-dd20-4c62-98e1-db4e745e6a96> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://thehousingforum.com/how-to-get-rid-of-voles-in-your-yard/ | 2023-09-28T18:15:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.958439 | 790 |
A woman’s heart’s wish to have a flat stomach was granted by an African preacher, who astounded his congregation.
The pastor invited churchgoers to come up and share their issues so that he might offer a solution.
A woman stood up in a video that has gone viral online and bemoaned having a large stomach.
He asked her when she wanted it, and she replied right away. She told him at a religious deliverance session that she desired a flat stomach.
The preacher repeatedly told her stomach to go inside as he put his hand close to her lower torso. It started to decrease gradually until the tummy was flat and the woman jumped for delight.

These fun activities will help you beat the end of the year blues!
We are hearing over and over in the schools where we work…
The teachers are tired. The therapy team is bored. And the kids are DONE!
But there are still plenty of school days left to fill with meaningful activities that address IEP goals and that keep kids engaged and learning in the classroom.
We thought it would be fun to give you some inspired activity ideas that will have everyone happy and smiling through the end of the year!
Beat the End of the Year Blues!
1 || Go with a theme! Create an entire lesson plan around a spring or summer theme that will have kids looking forward to a new activity each day/week/session. For instance, try going with a beach theme. Create a sensory bin full of sand and sand toys. You might even get creative with how they might play in this sensory bin — toes, anyone?!?!
2 || Play board games! Games are GREAT for encouraging social skills like turn-taking and how to win or lose. There are also games that can be great for practicing handwriting skills!
3 || Make ice cream in a bag. Who doesn’t love squeezing and squishing a zip top bag full of cool, soft ingredients? You will be happy because kids are working on bilateral coordination, , fine motor skills and direction following. Kids will be happy because they can eat it when they’re done!
4 || Water balloons. Yep, we know this isn’t for everyday, but it would make for a very special last day of therapy. Make targets on the sidewalk with chalk and test kids’ hand-eye coordination.
6 || Sidewalk Chalk. This warm weather staple can get kids moving, expressing their artistic side and working on fine motor skills.
7 || 10 Days to Conquer. Climbing the monkey bars, doing a cartwheel, and pumping a swing are all rites of passage on a school playground so why not do a few mini workouts to facilitate these skills?
8 || Card games for movement. A deck of cards is easy to find and so fun to use for gross and fine motor play.
9 || Playground Games. There are so many fun games that require nothing more than a group of kids. Take them all to the playground or an empty field and play!
10 || Outdoor Sensory Motor Scavenger Hunt. Print out this scavenger hunt and set kids lose to use all of their senses to find the requested objects.
