Unlock New LevelsUnlockables
You will need to earn 15 stars in a given level to unlock the next one. Stars do not stack, but instead earning the stars in the previous level is necessary to move on.
There are three secret skaters or bonus skaters in addition to the main roster of skaters: Lil’ Wayne (the musical artist), Roberta Modo (the mascot of Robomodo), and the King (Graham from the King’s Quest reboot).
Lil’ Wayne is unlocked from the start of the game.
Roberta is unlocked once you complete all of the Hawkman challenges.
To unlock the King, you’ll need to win King of the Hill with the highest score.
Mega Park Secret Area/Secret TapeHints
The secret area in Mega Park can be tricky to access if you don’t know where to look. First, you will need to be supersized. Then go to the grate in the area with the pipes and Slam down onto it. This will let you break through into the secret room, which also contains the secret tape. As soon as you enter, look up to find the tape on the pipes.
All Collectible LocationsHints
Every area in the game has hidden VHS tapes and DVDs for you to find, as well as a special type of collectible that varies depending on which area you’re in (pizza boxes in Mega Park, tiki heads at Bonfire Beach, etc.), which you’ll want to find to completely clear each area. These are connected to the various missions, so you’ll want to find the collectibles in order to maximize your score/ranking.
If you’re having trouble finding any of these collectibles, use the video guide below to help.
Each level has traditional missions (finding the collectibles, as well as the letters to spell out SKATE and COMBO) as well as secondary missions, which vary.
Completing missions reward you with both stars (1-3 per mission, depending on how well you perform) and points. Stars are used to unlock new levels, while points can be applied to improve your skater’s stats.
You can replay missions to attempt to earn more stars than you did the first time. This also lets you earn more points.
Try to use points to round out your weaker stats, rather than focusing on your higher stats. Making up for your skater’s weaknesses is a good way to improve your overall skating abilities.
Slam is a new move that lets you quickly return to the ground. It can be an effective way to come down after an aerial combo.
Wall-running is automatic, rather than requiring specific timing like in previous games. | <urn:uuid:cec9004f-b2e0-4e70-8993-6b8485e311df> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.cheats.co/playstation-4/tony-hawks-pro-skater-5 | 2023-09-28T17:42:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.909028 | 706 |

At Cherry Orchard, we want to prepare our learners for their future by giving them opportunities to gain knowledge and skills that will equip them for the ever-changing digital world. Technology is instrumental in pupils’ lives both at home and at school and in their future employment. Therefore, we want to model and educate our pupils on how to use technology positively, responsibly and appropriately.
Our curriculum is based upon a progressive model that equips pupils to use information technology (IT), digital literacy (DL) and computer science (CS). We have developed a clear scheme closely following the National Centre for Computing Education (NCCE) Teach Computing curriculum. The curriculum content is organised into interconnected concepts. The end points for each strand are clear and this can be viewed through computing evidence books or folders and in pupils’ online storage spaces. Each lesson is planned so that it reinforces prior knowledge and builds upon pupils’ knowledge and skills.
Computer science is the core of the computing curriculum, where children are taught the principles of information and computation, how digital systems work, and how to apply this knowledge through programming. Using this as a foundation, pupils are equipped to use information technology to create programs, systems and a range of content. Computing also ensures that pupils become digitally literate at a level suitable for the future workplace as active participants of a digital world. | <urn:uuid:1588111b-33c0-4e2d-b148-19570cafd1f8> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.cherryorchard.bham.sch.uk/page/?title=Computing&pid=40 | 2023-09-28T17:51:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.939154 | 278 |

MILES AND COUNTING
With over 77 million miles of hands-free driving in our rearview mirror, Super Cruise is leading the charge into the future of how we drive.
What you'll need.
OnStar Service Plan
Super Cruise functions with an OnStar† service plan. All Super Cruise-equipped vehicles include 3 years of connectivity to support functionality, after which an eligible paid Super Cruise OnStar service plan is required.
In order to control acceleration and braking and maintain a driver-selected following gap time with Super Cruise, both Adaptive Cruise Control† and Forward Collision Alert† must be active. Teen Driver technology† must be turned off.
Proper conditions and an attentive driver are required in order to activate and use Super Cruise. Make sure you’re on a compatible road with clearly visible lane markings and that your camera and radar sensors aren’t covered, and ensure your eyes are on the road so the Driver Attention System detects you’re paying attention.
How to use Super Cruise.
The available Super Cruise driver assistance feature is available only on compatible roads.
With an attentive driver, and under the proper conditions, Super Cruise-equipped vehicles can permit hands-free operation of the vehicle.
Super Cruise works with Adaptive Cruise Control,† which controls acceleration and braking while it is enabled and operating.
Super Cruise functions with OnStar and uses real-time precise positioning, cameras, sensors and LiDAR map data to help detect every curve, helping to make long drives and commutes comfortable and more convenient.
All Super Cruise-equipped vehicles include 3 years of connectivity to support functionality, after which a Super Cruise OnStar service plan† must be purchased.
In order to use Super Cruise, first press the Adaptive Cruise Control† button on the steering wheel to turn on Adaptive Cruise Control. The Adaptive Cruise Control symbol will illuminate in white on the instrument cluster. If Adaptive Cruise Control is already set, the symbol will be green with a speed shown.
When Super Cruise detects you are on a compatible road, paying sufficient attention, and all other driving conditions are met (lane markings visible, GPS available, no system faults, etc.), the Super Cruise symbol will illuminate in white on the instrument cluster.
When it is safe to do so, press the Super Cruise button on the steering wheel to engage Super Cruise. When the symbol and steering-wheel light bar illuminate in green, you may remove your hands from the steering wheel. Do not remove your hands from the steering wheel unless the light bar is green, which indicates that Super Cruise is steering the vehicle. To disengage Super Cruise, press the Super Cruise button again or press the brake pedal.
When not to use Super Cruise.
These are some of the situations when Super Cruise should not be activated:
- When you're not on a compatible road
- During difficult or uncertain driving conditions
- When lane markings are poor or visibility is limited
- In a tunnel or construction zone
- In slippery or other adverse conditions, including rain, sleet, fog, ice or snow
- On a road shoulder or service drive
- When towing a trailer, unless equipped with Super Cruise trailering capability
- On a freeway or highway exit lane
NOTE: Consult your Owner's Manual for more important information about Super Cruise.

Super Cruise† is a hands-free driver assistance technology for compatible roads. Super Cruise uses advanced technologies to provide the ease and convenience of hands-free driving. Your commute will never be the same.
No. Super Cruise does not perform all aspects of driving nor do everything a driver can do. Super Cruise allows the driver to drive hands-free when compatible road driving conditions allow the feature to be available; but the driver still needs to pay close attention to the road. Even while using the Super Cruise driver assistance technology, drivers should always pay attention while driving and not use a hand-held device.
Super Cruise is not available when Teen Driver† is active. Additionally, Super Cruise should never be used under difficult or uncertain driving conditions. That includes never using it in construction zones, when lane markings are poor, when there is limited visibility, in a tunnel, on a road shoulder, service drive or lane exiting a freeway or in slippery or other adverse conditions, including rain, sleet, fog, ice or snow.
The Super Cruise driver assistance technology uses Global Positioning System (GPS) sensing, GPS-enhanced data, a high-precision map and network of cameras to maintain automatic control of vehicle steering on compatible roads. The GPS uses real-time corrections and map data to determine the vehicle’s location while the Lane Sensing Camera detects the marked lanes on the road to help the vehicle automatically steer and maintain lane position.
The system works with Adaptive Cruise Control†, which is designed to detect vehicles traveling in the same direction in its path and accelerate or brake the vehicle to maintain a driver-selected following gap time from a detected vehicle ahead, even in stop-and-go traffic conditions.
When engaged, Super Cruise utilizes a Driver Attention System. It provides feedback on system status while tracking the driver’s head position and using alerts that prompt the driver to pay close attention to the road and steer manually when needed.
To disengage Super Cruise, take control of the steering wheel and then press the Super Cruise button again, press the brake, or pull the Regen on Demand†. paddle. If you grab the steering wheel and press the brake pedal, Super Cruise and Adaptive Cruise Control will disengage.
Super Cruise will not steer to avoid safety situations. You need to take control to steer around a traffic situation or object, merge into traffic, exit the highway, make a turn, stop for crossing traffic or a traffic light, a stop sign or other traffic control device. Super Cruise does not steer to avoid construction zones. Super Cruise is not a crash avoidance system and will not steer or brake to avoid a crash. Super Cruise does not steer to prevent a crash with stopped or slow-moving vehicles. You must supervise the driving task and may need to steer and brake to prevent a crash, especially in stop-and-go traffic or when a vehicle suddenly enters your lane.
Just begin to steer and the light bar should pulse blue. Once you are ready for Super Cruise to steer again, center the vehicle in the lane and wait for the steering wheel to turn green. You can remove your hands when the steering wheel is green.
It is important to always remember that Super Cruise is a driver assistance technology and cannot accurately detect all situations, so you should pay attention to the road ahead while Super Cruise is engaged. Super Cruise also cannot determine whether the driver is awake, asleep, impaired or properly focused on safe driving. Complete attention is always required while driving, even when using Super Cruise. The driver should always be prepared to take over steering or apply the brakes at any time.
Super Cruise is not available when Teen Driver is active.
Super Cruise will not brake the vehicle when approaching an intersection that is controlled by a traffic light or stop sign. Super Cruise will not detect vehicles crossing the road ahead, including at intersections, and will not automatically steer or brake to prevent a collision. You must manually brake and steer the vehicle. It is important that you always stay engaged and vigilant at all times when driving.
Consult your Owner’s Manual for further limitations.
Super Cruise will use the Adaptive Cruise Control† set speed, however if you have not set the Adaptive Cruise Control speed when Super Cruise is activated, it will use your current speed as the Adaptive Cruise Control set speed. Super Cruise also will slow down around sharp curves.
Super Cruise map information is updated periodically. Automatic updates via your OnStar plan will occur for the latest Super Cruise road availability information. Wi-Fi may be required for map updates. See your owner’s manual for details.
The Super Cruise system is a highly sophisticated system and should only be serviced by technicians with the proper training, tools and safety instructions, which are qualifications Chevrolet dealers have. Without these qualifications the vehicle may become damaged.
Each individual has their own tendency of where they drive in a lane, and where they perceive the center of the lane to be. Because we do not sit in the center of the vehicle, this can vary from driver to driver, and also depends on what type of vehicle is being driven based on how wide or tall the vehicle is. Super Cruise is designed to drive in the true center of the lane (+/- 4 inches or 10 cm). This may be different from where each individual normally drives and may give some drivers the feeling that they are too far to one side. In addition, in the Bolt EUV, Super Cruise does not move to one side of the lane when passing traffic. | <urn:uuid:cff93836-7f73-4b6a-85d8-6d79bf08b5a7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.chevrolet.com/super-cruise | 2023-09-28T18:53:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.868491 | 2,194 |

A lot of people like to look at a new calendar year as a clean slate of sorts; a reason to start making positive life changes. As a venue owner. If your guest is one of the millions of people who have pledged to get healthier and lose weight, it is going to require planning, preparation, and commitment. Losing weight is one of the most difficult things for a lot of people to do, and it takes diet, exercise, and personal growth to make it stick. this presents an opportunity for you as a venue owner to bring in some of that “new year, new you” clientele. Here, we highlight meats for weight-loss goals.
While every person’s weight-loss journey is going to be different, the one thing it doesn’t have to include is bad food. The biggest factor that scares people away from healthy eating and weight loss is the stigma of the food they have to eat. With the right approach to your venue menu this New Year, you can ensure that stigma is not true in the slightest, and you can provide your guests with all kinds of tasty meats and other proteins, while still helping them to stay on track with your goal. And, with the wide selection of amazing meats we have here at Northwest Meat Company, you can be sure that you will have an endless supply of mouthwatering meat cuts to keep you satisfied on your fitness journey.
Below, we take a closer look at what meats and proteins should be on your menu in the New Year to help your guests reach their weight-loss goals.
Chicken And Turkey
The first two proteins here, chicken or turkey meat, are some of the most versatile you will find anywhere in the world. Depending on what is available locally, either is a great choice for extremely lean protein that is loaded with vitamins, minerals, and nutrients.
Anyone looking to get in shape should ensure they do their best to eat white meat chicken, which is leaner than dark meat. Finally, no matter how crispy, salty, and golden brown that chicken skin is, keep it away from your healthy offerings. While it might be delicious, it is basically full of everything you do not want to put in your body to lose weight. As with everything in life, moderation is the key, so always keep that in mind when designing your menu.
Lean Grass-Fed Beef
While a lot of people may see red meat on the list and see an immediate red flag with regard to weight-loss goals, there is healthy beef out there in healthy amounts. If you focus on including lean or even extra-lean grass-fed beef on your menu your guests will be getting beef with the least amount of fat and total calories possible.
Thanks to the particular diet of grass-fed cows, grass-fed beef contains up to five times the omega-3 fatty acids when compared to regular grain-fed cows which is ideal for health enthusiasts. If you have diners coming to your venue in search of healthy beef dishes, there are plenty of dry-aged beef products, grass-fed cuts and so much more to choose from here at the Northwest Meat Company.
A Variety Of Seafood
Seafood can be a very viable option for eating healthy and losing weight. Not all fish and seafood are the same when it comes to nutritional components, with any of the various white-fleshed fish being the best. Salmon gets a pass because of the abundance of fatty acids and protein inside.
Here at Northwest Meat Company, we have a huge range of delicious seafood available from our hand-selected suppliers all over the world. Regardless of the taste, texture, or nutritional profile you need from your seafood, you can be sure we have your venue covered.
Something A Bit Gamier Perhaps?
Not many venue owners know much about some of those perhaps slightly less well-known cuts or gamier meat choices. However, the main thing you should be aware of is that they are much leaner types of meat than what you would find at a regular meat counter and are packed full of vitamins, nutrients, and healthy fats and oils. Wild game is lean from, well, being wild and having to be in survival mode all the time.
What’s more, these cuts help you to create unique dishes at your venue that will help your menu to stand out from the crowd moving forward. Bison, for example, s a great beef alternative when it comes to burgers. Pheasant can provide an exotic alternative to chicken or turkey and provide your dishes with all of the nutrition that your guests could ever want.
Set Your Regular Diners Up For Fitness Success With Your New Year’s Menu
Starting off the new year on the right foot is always filled with good intentions, but, unfortunately, good intentions can only provide a framework for the year, and the rest requires actual work. The most important thing that anyone trying to lose weight or get in shape at this time of the year needs to keep in mind during this journey is the end goal. Discipline can be difficult to maintain during weight loss, as the body and brain battle for a new normal, and sometimes it can be downright daunting; but for millions around the world, the pain is worth the gain.
To ensure your venue is set up to accommodate health-conscious guests this January, make sure to design a menu packed with flavor, fun, and fitness-inspired dishes. Just because weight loss is the goal, does not mean that your menu cannot be filled with tasty, nutritious, and delicious meals that will wow everyone who visits your hotel, restaurant, bar, food truck, or whatever type of venue you operate. Get in touch with our knowledgeable team at the Northwest Meat Company today to be sure that you have everything you need to fill your menu with the right food choices for the New Year. | <urn:uuid:eb3ca638-eb7f-4587-9af3-0cd5a6134c2a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.chicagowholesalemeats.com/blog/meats-for-weight-loss/ | 2023-09-28T18:56:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.961025 | 1,190 |

Local laptop stand producer enters “Dragons’ Den,” nets national TV exposure
VANCOUVER—ChillBed Industries, a producer of high quality, Canadian-made tablet and laptop stands, will have its products featured on CBC’s “Dragons’ Den” program on February 1, the company said today.
“Dragons’ Den” is one of the country’s top-rated television programs, with more than 1.5 million Canadians tuning in every week. In each broadcast, budding entrepreneurs are given the opportunity to pitch their ideas to a panel of influential business people, otherwise known as the Dragons.
ChillBed Industries manufactures and designs the ChillTab™ Universal Tablet Stand and the ChillBed™ Laptop Cooling Stands. Both stands are made from high quality anodized aluminum and are made in Vancouver.
“The fact that ‘Dragons’ Den’ wanted ChillBed’s products to be part of their show says a lot about the quality and design of our stands,” said Adam Berson, CEO of ChillBed Industries.

Accessibility is something that more folks could stand to consider and incorporate into their designs. Often, there are struggles for those of us out there who navigate with wheelchairs or other similar devices that the rest of the world just doesn’t even think about. One of those is finding vehicles that are wheelchair accessible.
Here in the United Kingdom, that can be an even bigger challenge. Since a lot of folks don’t drive every day, the market for cars and other vehicles like vans is just smaller than it is in a place like the United States (as just one example). So, it can make second-hand shopping even more troublesome.
Now, there are certain laws and specifications in action to help protect us in the public sphere, but these won’t always apply in the private sector. That’s why it is often placed into our own hands to find a vehicle that we can safely traverse the world in. If you’d like to learn more about how we can locate these types of automobiles (especially without having to pay a fortune for them), then make sure to keep reading.
What Qualifies as “Wheelchair Accessible”?
There are a lot of questions that we can ask going into this process, but one of the most relevant is this one: what actually counts as wheelchair accessible? It’s a bit difficult to put a pin on, but we’ll be doing our best to explain it.
In the past several decades, the United Kingdom has made efforts to make the country as a whole more accessible. There are many legal documents outlining this, and when you check travel and tourism guides, we rank fairly highly. All of this is to say that there is a fair amount of attention paid to these issues here.
Something to keep in mind is that handicap accessible is not the same as wheelchair accessible. There are different guidelines there, so if you are ever uncertain about a destination, it may not hurt to call ahead to ask. Anyhow, though, one of the biggest qualifiers for wheelchair accessibility is to include a ramp somewhere that is easy to get to and in good functioning order.
Unsurprisingly, this is one of the main features of new and used wheelchair accessible vehicles, though the location of the ramp can vary. Other things that you will likely see include wider hallways and entryways (or wider doors on the back of a van), specialized tables that allow for easy stopping, and signs that denote the “accessible” status.
When we say “ramp,” though, it’s more of a small incline. There are two different types of options most of the time – either rear entry or side entry. Each has its own pros and cons.
When we think of a “classic” design for vehicles manufactured for those in wheelchairs, this is typically what first comes to mind. They’re made with wide doors at the back or a hood that can lift up and unfold a ramp and/or incline. From there, it’s simply a matter of wheeling up into the vehicle.
The floor of the car isn’t lowered in these cases, which allows the person to be a passenger from the second row (from the central channel). The biggest thing to keep in mind here, though, is that it’s better suited for wheelchair users who travel with a caregiver of some sort. They can’t be operated alone, so that can be tricky if you live independently.
The other option available is a side entry vehicle, which you can read a bit more about on this page. With these, there are special doors on one or both sides of the vehicle and the floor is lowered to ensure that navigating inside is as easy as possible. Depending on the one that you get, the owner is usually able to drive them rather than having to rely on someone else.
However, the owner can also sit in the second row if they’d prefer. If you live in an area that has a lot of parallel parking (or if that’s not really a concern for you), then it might be the right fit.
Is it Safe to Get a Second-Hand One?
Another thing that concerns many folks is the matter of getting a second-hand automobile. We hear horror stories of used car salesmen and the like, and it gives the entire market and industry a bit of a bad reputation. With that said, let’s face it – getting an accessible car isn’t exactly cheap.
Why not save a few thousand dollars by getting one second-hand? Although it might sound surprising, there really aren’t many drawbacks to doing so. While this is a United States site, https://www.nhtsa.gov/road-safety/adapted-vehicles, it does offer some valuable information about what adapted vehicles look like so that you can be a prepared shopper going into the process.
Now, when shopping for a used vehicle, there are a few things that you’ll want to keep in mind. When you go on site to inspect it, pay close attention to all of the features. Check the brakes and ensure that they work, test out the windshield wipers, and ask questions about how many miles is on it. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with shopping this way, and it can save you money, but it does take some thought and preparation (just like shopping for new cars).
Something else that you’ll want to think about is that there are somewhat limited availabilities when it comes to wheelchair accessible automobiles. Most likely, you’ll need to keep an eye on what the stock is in your area by checking out local mobility vehicle sellers. Thankfully, though, they often upload their stock online.
You can also call to ask what options you have, so that’s helpful. Really, you can talk to customer service any time that you need it – it can be easy to forget to prioritize our needs and specifications at times, after all. | <urn:uuid:19571a14-a71d-474d-a9b4-aef81db133ac> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.chinapev.com/car-modification/help-finding-the-best-secondhand-wheelchair-accessible-vehicles/ | 2023-09-28T17:40:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.959796 | 1,258 |

The film Vishwaroopam 2 featuring Kamal Haasan, Rahul Bose, Shekhar Kapur, Pooja Kumar and Andrea Jeremiah in the lead roles have finally hit the theatres this passing Friday. The film managed to earn around 9 crore on its first day and has become the third biggest Kollywood movie at the box office after the film Kaala featuring Rajinikanth and then Thaana Serndha Koottam with Suriya. Now, talking about the latest about this film at the box office, the experts have informed that the film has bagged the said amount with its domestic market doing well in a significant fashion. The movie is also doing a good business in the Hindi belts though may not be impressive but it seems to be okay in someway.
The various media reports and the critics have given the film an average ratings, despite the fact that the actor Kamal Haasan has done a wonderful job in saving the movie having a weak script. The film happens to be the best spy thriller and it has given loads of action backed with colorful characters that seemed blurring the lines found in between the villains and heroes along with athletic male and female.
The film is back with loads of luck with the gang and Vis and a majority of them are seen back, in their reprising their roles. We found the character Jeremiah seems to make a high-step archly around the hotel rooms, looking for bugs, in the one of the several unintentionally the hilarious kind of the scenes that feature her, and is seen having only one sequence in which we see how things showing off her martial skills; while the actor is described a number of times like the ‘nuclear oncologist’, who is both coy and coquettish. So, what do you think about the box office collection do let us know about the same. Stay tuned about the same and let us know about the same. | <urn:uuid:015c9f14-d864-47b0-8c4a-de8dfc3aa8fc> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.cinetalkers.com/vishwaroopam-2-first-day-box-office-collection/ | 2023-09-28T18:36:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.975094 | 390 |
Resource Guide for Cybersecurity During the COVID-19 Pandemic
According to the results of the CSO Pandemic Impact Survey, 61% of the security and IT leader respondents are concerned about an increase in cyber-attacks targeting their employees who are working from home. They’re right to be concerned; according to the survey, 26% have seen an increase in the volume, severity, and/or scope of cyber-attacks since mid-March.
The Center for Internet Security’s (CIS) Security Operations Center (SOC) has seen a marked increase in remote desktop protocol (RDP) exploitation, likely due to malicious attempts to exploit teleworking capabilities. There has also been a significant shift to using COVID-19 styled phishing and malspam campaigns.
This resource guide from CIS provides information about common cyber-attacks that are currently being reported. It also provides resources for improving cyber hygiene to enhance cyber defenses, both for organizations and their employees.
It’s crucial to provide continuous support for remote employees. Don’t wait to provide guidance or reminders for cybersecurity. This guide contains actionable recommendations for your employees. | <urn:uuid:c2766567-bd29-4ad8-b4a2-255ebbe637de> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.cisecurity.org/insights/white-papers/resource-guide-for-cybersecurity-during-the-covid-19-pandemic | 2023-09-28T16:45:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.93756 | 238 |

Every successful workplace has intelligent and motivated employees. However, some of those employees are held back because of low literacy skills. When employees are able to receive literacy training, they become an invaluable asset to the organization. They also see changes in their personal lives which positively impacts not only their families but their community as well. Literate employees need to have the following skills:
Verbal and written communication
Understanding policies and procedures
CLC works to provide training to individuals needing to increase these literacy skills. We not only focus on the skill, but we help each person explore different areas these skills will impact.
CLC offers training for teens through our Achieve More and Prosper, A.M.P., program as well as training for adults. Employers can bring CLC in to the workplace to work directly with their employees. Providing these different avenues to reach a wide range of people is one way we strive to follow our mission, to increase employability, enable future education, encourage civic involvement and promote family stability and support. | <urn:uuid:278cf39f-5639-462f-9c29-1b56207b0e6e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.clcworks.org/post/increasing-employability-across-the-board | 2023-09-28T16:52:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.969065 | 214 |
A person charged with a crime has the right to a fair and impartial trial. This means, among other things, that if a judge demonstrates bias or evidence suggests that the judge is otherwise unable to rule in an objective manner, the defendant can file a motion for recusal. In a recent Florida ruling, a court discussed the grounds for granting a motion for disqualification in a matter in which the defendants were charged with DUI offenses. If you are accused of driving while intoxicated, it is in your best interest to speak to a skilled Clearwater criminal defense attorney regarding your rights.
The Facts of the Case
It is reported that defendants were each charged with DUI crimes, and their cases proceeded before a county judge. Due to the fact that the judge had ex parte communications with the State Attorney’s office regarding another matter in which a defendant was charged with DUI, they each filed motions for disqualification. Their motions were denied, after which they filed writs of prohibition, which were denied as well. They then sought certiorari review of the order denying their petitions.
Grounds for Granting a Motion for Disqualification
The appellate court explained that its review was limited to determining whether the trial court granted the defendants procedural due process and applied the appropriate law. In other words, whether it adhered to the essential requirements of law. As such, a district court should only grant certiorari relief when the lower court failed to uphold a clearly established tenet of law, resulting in a miscarriage of justice.
In the subject case, the defendants did not argue that they were not afforded due process; rather, they argued that the circuit court failed to apply the correct law. The court disagreed. Instead, the court noted that the email that was the basis of the defendant’s motion for disqualification merely stated the judge’s interpretation of a DUI statute and was not adequate to demonstrate prejudice or form the basis of a reasonable fear of bias. The circuit court found that such comments did not meet the threshold necessary to grant a disqualification because they were legally inadequate to create a fear that the defendants would not receive a fair trial, that could be perceived as objectively reasonable.
The court noted that the dissenting opinion in the circuit court found in favor of the defendants, but as the email in question could have been interpreted in numerous ways, the court could not state that, as a matter of law, the circuit court ruled incorrectly. Thus, the circuit court ruling was affirmed.
Speak to a Proficient Clearwater Criminal Defense Attorney

Parents naturally have high expectations for their children’s future. From the moment of their birth, parents embark on a journey of planning and nurturing to ensure the best possible outcomes. When it comes to understanding your child and paving the way for their education and career, astrology can offer valuable insights.
Astrology provides a framework for comprehending a child’s intellectual patterns through the placement, aspect, and conjunction of planets in their horoscope. While it doesn’t dictate destiny, astrology sheds light on potential strengths and weaknesses. It reveals a person’s learning abilities, motivation, and intellectual prowess, empowering parents to better understand their child’s educational journey.
Education plays a pivotal role in shaping an individual’s life and future prospects. By examining the twelve houses in a horoscope, we can unravel various behavioral and psychological patterns. These houses provide crucial insights into primary education, intelligence, family support, and higher education, allowing parents to gain a comprehensive understanding of their child’s educational profile.
Let’s explore some key astrological houses that significantly influence a child’s educational trajectory:
This house holds paramount importance in education as it represents primary education. It unveils the foundational knowledge and skills acquired during early schooling, and even sheds light on classmates and childhood friends. The condition of the 4th house signifies the level of support and stability an individual may have experienced during their educational journey. A well-fortified 4th house indicates a solid educational foundation and a supportive environment, while challenging aspects may suggest disruptions or difficulties in education.
2. The 5th House:
Associated with intelligence and knowledge, the 5th house plays a crucial role in the acquisition and assimilation of wisdom. A well-placed 5th house fosters a sound educational journey, allowing individuals to harness their intellectual potential to the fullest.
3. The 2nd House:
The 2nd house symbolizes family support and the availability of resources required to complete one’s education. It is also linked to communication skills, which are vital for effective learning and expression.
4. The 9th House:
Assuming great significance in higher education, the 9th house represents luck, higher wisdom, and profound knowledge. A favorable placement of planets in the 9th house greatly influences one’s ability to achieve success in advanced educational pursuits.
Considering different levels of education, specific houses come into focus:
a. Ordinary Education (Up to Graduation):
Analyzing the 2nd and 4th houses helps assess ordinary education, including education up to the graduation level. These houses shed light on the support system and foundational knowledge necessary for a well-rounded education.
b. Higher Education:
To evaluate prospects related to higher education, the 5th and 9th houses hold the key. These houses provide valuable insights into an individual’s potential for advanced learning and their inclination toward specialized fields of study.
While assessing the astrological chart for educational insights, it is crucial not to overlook the strength and influence of the Ascendant (Lagna) and its Lord. Weakness in these areas can significantly impact the overall strength and potential of the educational chart.
In conclusion, by delving into the relevant astrological houses, parents can unlock valuable information about their child’s educational journey. The 4th, 5th, 9th, and 2nd houses, in conjunction with the Ascendant, offer deep insights into primary education, intelligence, family support, available resources, and prospects for higher education. Armed with this knowledge, parents can provide the necessary guidance and support to help their children thrive academically and realize their full potential.
In astrology, specific planets hold significance when it comes to assessing an individual’s skills and areas of specialization.
Let’s explore the key planets and their associations:
The Sun and Self-Expression:
The Sun represents self-expression, creativity, and vitality. It is closely linked to subjects that foster leadership, confidence, and individuality. Fields such as drama, performing arts, creative writing, public speaking, and leadership studies align with the energy of the Sun. Individuals with a strong Sun placement may find success and fulfillment in these domains, where their unique talents and charisma can shine.
Jupiter, Mercury, and the Moon:
Jupiter, Mercury, and the Moon are considered the three most crucial planets when evaluating education and skills.
Jupiter’s Role in Wisdom and Knowledge:
Jupiter, known as the planet of wisdom and knowledge, plays a pivotal role in assimilating information from diverse sources such as books and teachers. Without the influence of Jupiter, acquiring knowledge and achieving significant success in education becomes challenging. Sagittarius, the ninth house in the natural Zodiac, is governed by Jupiter, highlighting its connection to higher education and profound wisdom.
Mercury’s Quick Intelligence:
Mercury represents quick intelligence and enhances our ability to grasp information swiftly. Its support is essential for success in the learning process, as it aids in effective comprehension. Individuals with a strong and well-placed Mercury often exhibit qualities such as quick learning abilities, good memory, and effective communication skills. These traits are advantageous for achieving higher marks and excelling academically.
The Moon’s Significance in Concentration:
The Moon, known as the Significator of the mind, holds great importance in education. Concentration is key to success in studying, and a focused approach accompanied by a high level of concentration is essential for a good education. The Moon aids in providing this necessary level of concentration. A well-positioned Moon supports the assimilation and retention of knowledge, enhancing overall learning capabilities.
The Role of Venus in Artistic Pursuits:
Venus, associated with beauty and creativity, holds significance for individuals pursuing artistic fields. While not directly linked to academic performance in traditional subjects, Venus inspires individuals to explore creative avenues within their studies. Its influence enhances artistic expression, making it easier for individuals to excel in disciplines such as literature, music, fine arts, and design.
Saturn’s Influence on Discipline:
Saturn represents discipline and hard work. A strong Saturn placement in a birth chart promotes discipline, focus, perseverance, and a strong work ethic. These qualities are instrumental in achieving high marks and excelling in rigorous academic pursuits that demand dedication and long-term commitment.
Specializations by Planetary Influences:
Furthermore, specific fields of study align with the energy of particular planets. For instance, the Sun symbolizes Science, Medicine, Chemicals, Doctors, Light, Heat, Solar energy, and Government. Its influence is prominent in these domains. On the other hand, the Moon signifies Marine Engineering, Hotel Management, Human Resource, Nursing, Sales, and Marketing. These fields are closely associated with the Moon’s energy.
Understanding the planetary influences on skills and specializations helps individuals align their educational and career paths with their inherent strengths and inclinations. By considering the planetary placements in their birth chart, individuals can gain valuable insights into their natural talents and make informed decisions regarding their educational pursuits and future career paths.
The branches of education can be understood by examining the different houses of the horoscope and their associated fields.
Let’s explore the educational domains aligned with each house:
The 1st house is connected to Military Science and Psychology. It signifies careers in the armed forces and psychological studies.
The 2nd house is associated with Economics, Mathematics, Arts, and Painting. It indicates fields related to finance, numbers, artistic expression, and visual arts.
The 3rd house represents Military Science, Journalism, Philosophy, Physics, Advertisement, Communication, and Telecommunication. It encompasses subjects such as media, journalism, philosophy, and scientific communication.
The 4th house is linked to Agriculture, Home Science, Sociology, Civil Engineering, and Architecture. It encompasses disciplines related to farming, construction, social sciences, and architectural design.
The 5th house signifies Education, Gynecology, Teaching Training, and Higher Education in all fields. It is associated with teaching, academic pursuits, and advanced studies in various disciplines.
The 6th house is connected to Chemistry, Biology, Higher Studies in Medical Science, Nursing Training, Military Science, and Law. It encompasses subjects such as healthcare, biological sciences, law, and military studies.
The 7th house represents Business Management, Private Business, and Military Science. It signifies careers in business administration, entrepreneurship, and military leadership.
The 8th house is associated with History, Archeology, Geology, Mining, and Occult Sciences. It encompasses subjects related to historical research, geology, mining, and occult studies.
The 9th house signifies Law, Religion, Spirituality, Teaching, Higher Education, and Learning about Foreigners and Foreign Land. It encompasses fields such as law, theology, philosophy, and international studies.
The 10th house represents Political Science, Professional Training, Training for Government Jobs, Business Management, and General Management. It signifies careers in politics, government administration, and management.
The 11th house is associated with Commerce, All Sciences, Advanced Technology, Space, and Research. It encompasses fields such as commerce, scientific research, advanced technologies, and space exploration.

These associations between planets and the houses of the horoscope provide insights into the fields of study influenced by specific celestial bodies and their placements in the astrological chart.
While astrology should not be seen as a definitive predictor of academic success, it can offer valuable guidance for individuals seeking to understand their strengths and weaknesses in relation to education. By acknowledging the planetary influences and utilizing their inherent qualities, individuals can optimize their learning strategies and enhance their chances of achieving academic excellence and success in higher education.
Astrology serves as a tool for self-reflection and self-awareness, enabling individuals to make informed decisions about their educational paths and align their choices with their natural inclinations and potential. | <urn:uuid:8a50cb99-c198-4459-a932-b58bac199e11> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.clickastro.com/blog/astrology-academic-success/ | 2023-09-28T16:39:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.93429 | 2,135 |

Climbing shoes have changed a lot in recent years, in fact, they have become almost unrecognizable compared to early models from the 80s and 90s. There’s a good reason for this – climbing shoes have evolved pretty drastically in order to keep up with the demands of modern climbing and bouldering.
A wise climber once told me “you need the right tool for the job” and if you are a sport climber or bouldering specialist, an aggressive climbing shoe might just be the tool you need to take your climbing to the next level.
The Top Three
What Are Aggressive Shoes?
When we describe a shoe as aggressive, we are simply referring to its downturned shape. These shoes are focused on performance, usually superseding comfort. The downturned profile (also known as a camber) arches your foot into a ‘hooked’ shape, forcing your toes into a curled position. Putting your feet in this position offers climbers two main benefits.
The main benefit of a downturned climbing shoe is that they are excellent for overhung walls and roof climbs, where small edges and pockets are the name of the game. The curved shape allows you to hook and claw these features much easier than you would be able to in a flatter shoe.
The other big advantage of these shoes is that it allows for maximum power transfer to your toes. If you think about it, a full crimp is one of the most powerful grip positions in your arsenal, and the exact same logic applies when weighting your toes. You will be able to put more weight on your little piggies when they are curled compared to if they were lying dead flat.
As aggressive climbing shoes usually have a softer construction than their neutral shoes, you need the additional support of curled toes to help support your body weight and help create tension within the shoe.
Now, it’s important to remember that not all climbs need aggressive shoes! There’s little question that bouldering and sport climbers working steep routes will benefit from using downturned climbing shoes, which is the reason why they are such a popular choice among gym rats working those gnarly cave problems.
That said, if you are just starting out in your climbing journey, highly downturned shoes might turn out to be more of a hindrance than a help. Beginners will most likely benefit from a neutral or moderate shoe when learning the basic footwork techniques. Your climbing technique will undoubtedly benefit you in the long run if you learn how to properly use the inside edge, toe, and ball of your foot before attempting to tackle a V2 slab in a pair of highly aggressive shoes.
Also, I guarantee it’s going to be an uncomfortable learning curve getting used to wearing downturned shoes. If you are new to the sport, it might even be enough to put you off climbing for good!
Seasoned veterans that gravitate towards slabs or vertical faces might also be better off with a neutral and moderate climbing shoe. Why? Because a near-vertical wall will have little to no overhang, standing on a foothold would be far easier in a neutral or moderate shoe, as this allows you to use the edges and ball of your foot more effectively. Smearing is also much easier in flatter shoes for the same reason; a larger surface gives your foot more surface contact on the wall.
The History of Downturned Climbing Shoes
Highly cambered shoes originated as a solution to increasingly difficult climbs being established by pro climbers in the 1990s. The old-school neutral shoes did not cut it when it came to overhanging walls and miniature footholds.
One of the first shoe manufacturers to recognize the benefit of a cambered shape was Five Ten. At the hands of the company’s founder, Charles Cole, the Five Ten UFO prototype was released for commercial sale in 1991.
For the Europeans, the La Sportiva Mirage hit the climbing scene in 1995. Like the UFO, the Mirage featured a downturned camber, although it was significantly more aggressive and asymmetrical than the UFO. With a severe downturn that matched the way a foot naturally arches, its ballet-esque design allowed 20th-century climbers to approach problems in a completely new way.
Designed by Norwegian sports scientist Marius Morstad, the odd design of the Mirage was a striking and controversial development. Going from flat-lasted, high-top climbing shoes, to these unusual-looking curved shoes was not exactly a smooth transition. Many climbers at the time wrote them off as nothing more than a novelty.
It wasn’t until climbers started understanding the benefit of using a downturned shoe on overhanging terrain that the Mirage started to gain traction and eventually sold out everywhere it was available.
The Best Aggressive Climbing Shoes
Today, the range of downturned climbing shoes is pretty overwhelming. There’s not a single manufacturer that hasn’t created a downturned climbing shoe.
Here at Climbing Shoe Review, we are big fans of bouldering and steep sport climbing, so we know a thing or two about these types of shoes. Here are a few aggressive shoes that get our seal of approval.
La Sportiva Solution
The Solution represented a big leap forward in modern shoe design when it was first released in 2007. Even to this day, it is still regarded as one of the best downturned climbing shoes ever made.
With a sticky Vibram XS Grip 2 rubber outsole and a 3D molded heel cup, the Solution will help you find the answer to any problem.
These shoes have amazing all-around usability due to their aggressive downturn and split sole design. The forefoot downturn and toe box have a very unique feel, a laser-precise toe that is unlike a lot of other shoes, which is probably one of the main reasons the Solution has become such an iconic shoe.
Because of their great blend versatility and durability, these shoes can pretty much do it all. They are great for both indoor and outdoor climbing and won’t get eaten up by sharp rocks as much as a softer shoe would.
BEST FOR GYM
The Drago opts for a softer construction and flexible structure that allows the shoe to conform to rocks and holds of all shapes and sizes. Because of these characteristics, they are very popular amongst gym climbers.
Wrapped in a combination of ultra-soft M50 rubber and Vibram Xs Grip 2 the Drago delivers unmatched sensitivity, and bucket loads of friction on both steep and slabby terrain. You will know exactly where your footing is and how much weight you should give it.
These shoes have adjustable straps that are strong and flexible, and they break in fast due to the soft rubber and thin upper materials. The airflow and breathability of these shoes are great as well.
BEST FOR BUDGETS
One of my personal favorites on the list, the Acros find a way to work in every environment and are one of the more budget-friendly performance shoes on the market.
Exceptionally comfortable for wider feet and very easy to break in, these shoes dominate bouldering with the large toe box and longer heel. Edging is made easy with the wide frame of the shoe, and the thicker rubber provides reliability and longevity for many years of climbing. Not to mention that it has one of the biggest toe patches in the game, bat hanging is a breeze with these bad boys.
BEST FOR WIDE FEET
The Phantom is one of the newest shoes on this list and is arguably the most aggressive climbing shoes you can get your hands on right now. The shoe was made in collaboration with Daniel Woods, a serious crusher known for hiking heinously overhung boulders.
The Phantom uses a completely unique last shape, specially designed for this shoe. The curvature is significantly exaggerated, enhancing its pocket-pulling ability. This shoe also has a really nicely constructed heel cup and toe patch, both essential tools for modern boulder and sport climbing.
Tenaya is slowly but surely becoming a major player in the climbing shoe game, thanks to its range of popular Aerial Plus performance shoes.
If you haven’t heard of Tenaya before, take a quick look at the social media pages of pro climbers like Chris Sharma, Alex Megos, or Jimmy Webb and you will see these Spanish shoes doing what they do best – crushing on a wide range of climbing terrain.
Of all their shoes, it’s the Oasi that takes the title as the most aggressive Tenaya shoe. While its cambered shape lends the shoe to overhung sport and bouldering problems, the Tenaya design team set out with the goal of creating a versatile model which is capable of performing on a myriad of terrain and spent 2 years sculpting the Oasi into a versatile sending machine.
It’s safe to say their hard work paid off. The Oasi feels at home on virtually any climbing project you can throw at it, whether that’s crawling up a slabby gym volume or a steep limestone crag.
It’s not just the Oasi’s versatility that is turning heads, this shoe is also known as one of the most comfortable performance models in the business. Tenaya’s obsession with foot biomechanics allows the shoe to adapt to the shape of the user’s foot, while its unique DRAXTOR closure gives you full customization of the shoe’s fit.
BEST FOR NARROW
Five Ten Hiangle
Five Ten is a name that has been at the forefront of the climbing shoe business for over four decades. After Adidas bought the American company in late 2011 some long-term Five Ten fans questioned the build quality of their new shoes, as well as the caliber of STEALTH rubber, a creation that catapulted Five Ten into climbing stardom.
That said, few can question Five Ten’s ability to crush hard, especially when you watch the comp-climbing GOAT Janja Garnbret dominating the competition scene in them. If there’s one aggressive shoe in their new range that truly stands out, and is a personal favorite of Garnbrets, it’s the Hiangle.
The Hiangle has been Five Ten’s most popular performance shoe for the best part of a decade. The updated 2020 version of the Hinagle introduced a few new features that built on the success of their old model. The new split sole design allows for greater flexibility of the forefoot, allowing for superior smearing, while the full coverage heel significantly improves the heel cup’s ability to stick a myriad of gnarly heel hooks.
Of course, the Hiangle still makes the most of Five Ten’s iconic STEALTH C4 rubber. I have tested the updated compound on a variety of their new 2021 shoes, and I still think this is a brilliant rubber that creates a nice balance between durability and friction.
BEST FOR STYLE
Mad Rock Drone
The Drone is the flagship model from Mad Rock, it’s their piece de resistance. The latest rendition of the Drone received a fresh-faced all-black makeover in 2021, although it still shares all the technical specs that Drone fans know and love.
Out of the box, the Drone feels slightly stiff, although once you have broken it in, the shoe becomes pretty soft and allows it to take on smears and other friction-dependent moves. The Science Friction rubber plays a large role here too, offering great friction on a wide variety of terrain.
The standout features of the Drone, however, is its large toe patch and heel cup. The toe patch extends up the inside of the forefoot, making it ideal for hooking and rolling your foot through toe hook sequences. The 3D molded heel cup is designed to expand and retract around the shape of your foot, which allows the shoe to become shoe suctioned to your foot, whilst having plenty of features to hook on.
The Drone also comes in both a high and low volume variation, so caters to a wide range of foot shapes.
Aggressive Climbing Shoes For Beginners
For those rock wrestlers that are new to the sport, it’s usually a good idea to stick to neutral and moderate profile shoes, at least until you find your feet.
For starters, these beginner-friendly shoes will help you nail down the basic footwork techniques required for climbing. More importantly, they will also help build up strength in your toe’s ligaments and tendons, and help avoid any early injuries from over-excursion.
So when should you get aggressive shoes? Once you feel your climbing ability starting to improve and you start eye-balling up the steeper routes, it’s a good time to start looking at a beginner-friendly pair of downturned shoes.
There are plenty of shoes out there that are designed to help less experienced climbers ease their way into the world of cambered climbing shoes. Shoes like the Scarpa Veloce or La Sportiva Kubo are made for beginners looking for a little more performance in their life.
IMPORTANT: I would never recommend highly downturned climbing shoes for children unless they are climbing at a competitive level. Even then, I wouldn’t recommend frequent use. If you want to learn more take a look at the best kids climbing shoes here!
My Downturned Climbing Shoes Top Tips
Maybe you’ve decided to purchase a pair of downturned shoes and you’re curious about how they should fit. Not all climbing shoes fit the same, and there is absolutely no reason to settle for a shoe that is extremely uncomfortable. Here are a few tips for finding the best aggressive shoes for you:
1. Make sure the shoe fits as snug as possible.
2. Your big toe should be at the very end of the shoe, with your heel placed firmly at the back. Make sure the heel cup supports your whole heel firmly.
3. Downturned shoes will feel a bit uncomfortable but not painful. Try to avoid buying shoes that are overly painful or make your feet go numb.
4. If you’re shopping for shoes online and unsure of the sizing, go ahead and try the shoe on at a store that sells them! Then, buy the right size shoes online as it’s usually easier to find deals.
5. Climbing shoes aren’t made for walking in. Walking around in downturned climbing shoes is the easiest way to destroy that beautiful cambered profile.
What’s Your Favorite?
Every year we see innovative designs emerge from almost every corner of the climbing industry. From neutral to the most cambered climbing shoes, well-established climbing brands are constantly raising the bar and transforming this humble sport into a worldwide spectacle. Whether you’re an Olympic athlete or a newbie wearing rental shoes, everyone should have a chance at finding the right gear. So ask around your local gym, and start a conversation with someone at the crag. When you find the shoes that work right for you, they almost become an extension of yourself. | <urn:uuid:65231725-4d3a-479b-a0ee-f65243c57205> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.climbingshoereview.com/best-aggressive-climbing-shoes/ | 2023-09-28T17:52:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.950631 | 3,249 |

Amazon has become the superstore of the millennial generation, a one-stop shop for anything and everything that you can then have delivered straight to your door — often for free if you're also an Amazon Prime member. With the incredible convenience comes one major issue: Amazon can be a counterfeiter's dream.
Part of what makes the Amazon ecosystem tick is their vast network of third-party sellers. Having so many sellers makes it difficult for Amazon, if not impossible, to police them all. Unwitting consumers have found themselves receiving shoddy or even dangerous items.
When you see a vendor on a street corner selling Rolex watches for $20, it's not that hard to deduce that they are fakes. The same principle can be applied to products on Amazon. When the price of an item is way below market value, the odds are pretty good that you're not getting the Real McCoy.
When you spot something that's priced at a steep discount, do your research. Look up the price elsewhere on the web or at a nearby store, and be skeptical if the Amazon-listed item is priced well below any other sellers' prices.
People don't generally sell really expensive stuff for way less than other vendors without a specific reason — one that you should be able to confirm. When you can't confirm a reason, the odds are the product is a scam rather than a miraculous bargain.
Plenty of third-party sellers use Amazon's platform to sell their wares, taking advantage of the vast customer base that flocks to the site, which can be a blessing and a curse. When the seller isn't a name that you immediately recognize, it could mean that it's a smaller store or one not located nearby. However, it could also mean that it's just a front for selling fake items.
Make a point of researching every seller, especially if there's anything on the page that seems suspicious. Odds are good that someone has complained publicly if the seller has been passing off counterfeit wares. What's more, if the seller is legitimate, it shouldn't be difficult to find information about them and confirm that they're real.
Although it's not a catch-all, if you only order items that are available with Amazon Prime, you can decrease the chances of being fooled.
When you find a product that you already know well, but you've never heard of the brand that made it — there's a good chance it could be a fake. Counterfeiters will frequently make cheap versions of popular or easily-copied items that they can sell for a lower price than the legitimate versions.
When you're buying a common item but the brand isn't one you know, make a point of doing a quick search to see if there's any readily available information about the seller. You can undoubtedly find the occasional company that's making a generic version of a brand-name item without compromising on the quality, but it should leave a trail of satisfied customers in its wake. Consider it a red flag if there's negative information about the company — or no information at all.
When there's a series of excessively positive reviews for an item, it can be a bad sign. In particular, if every review is five stars or features suspicious language, it's possible that someone is composing false reviews with the goal of deceiving potential customers.
Amazon includes a "verified purchase" label that indicates that the person writing the review has actually purchased the item. What's more, you can often spot a fake review by the language used, which might include specific descriptions that sound more like a sales brochure than someone registering an honest opinion about a purchase.
Reviews alleging that the product is fake can be a pretty solid indicator to avoid the transaction as well.
Instead of allowing you to pay on Amazon's site for the item you want, the third-party seller will ask you to text him. Upon texting, you'll receive texts or emails that ask you to purchase an Amazon gift card for the amount of your purchase. You will likely be asked to provide the card number to the seller, but once the seller receives the Amazon gift card number, you'll never hear from him again.
Do not order any items from sellers who request that you text or otherwise contact them. In addition, never purchase Amazon gift cards to pay for items at a seller's urging.
When photos of a product seem just a little too perfect, there's a good chance they aren't real. Giving shoppers a chance to examine the detail on counterfeit goods is a plan that deceptive vendors would clearly want to avoid, so they're more likely to rely on stock photography or pictures from an existing ad.
You can do a Google reverse image search to see if you can find the photograph elsewhere, and if it comes from another existing ad, there's a pretty good chance the photo is pulled from the internet to avoid using a real one.
Likewise, the more pictures there are that allow you to examine the item closely from multiple angles, the more likely it is that you're dealing with a seller who's legitimate.
When the description of an item is pushing you to leave Amazon to shop elsewhere or find better deals on another site, you should view it as an enormous red flag. It's one thing to passively advertise a company site or offer up a brief blurb about other products sold by the same company, but pushing hard to get you to visit off-Amazon websites is suspicious at best.
Amazon is a site designed specifically to sell things to people, so most legitimate vendors are probably comfortable with using it just for that. But off-Amazon websites potentially make it much easier to peddle additional fake items or even steal personal information or credit card numbers. Don't leave the Amazon site to make a purchase, and don't reveal personal financial information to suspicious sellers.

Advanced Micro Devices posted another record for processor shipments--a milestone that let the company beat analysts' financial expectations for the first quarter.
For the quarter, AMD reported a net loss of $9.2 million, or 3 cents per share, on revenues of $902 million. A consensus of analysts expected the company to report a loss of 6 cents a share.
Overall, revenue and income were down substantially from the same period a year ago, when Sunnyvale, Calif.-based AMD gained a substantial amount of market share from Intel. Last year, the company reported a net gain of $124.8 million, or 37 cents a share, on revenue of $1.2 billion for the first quarter.
Still, AMD's current numbers show that the PC market is gaining some of its strength after a disastrous slide that began in August 2000. The company shipped a record eight million Athlon and Duron processors in the quarter, slightly more than in the fourth quarter. PC processor revenue came to $684 million, 3 percent more than the $661 million seen in the first quarter of 2002.
Although unit processor shipments went up, PC processor revenue slid 3 percent from the fourth quarter, but PC sales generally slip around 5 percent from the fourth to the first quarter anyway, according to analyst estimates.
Intel reported a 13 percent rise year to year in processor revenue on Tuesday and said it maintained market share. Intel also said that its average selling price for microprocessors went up from the fourth quarter to the first, while mathematically it appears AMD's dropped slightly. AMD, however, claimed it gained 1 percent of market share when Xbox and other factors are excluded.
AMD Chief Executive Jerry Sanders cautioned investors against being too optimistic. Further market-share gains will be tough until there is a larger, general upswing in the economy, he said. The company also lags behind Intel in India and China and has made little headway in landing a deal with Dell Computer, the only major PC maker gaining market share. In other words, AMD will chip away at Intel, but dramatic reversals aren't on the horizon yet.
"Our processor business is enduring a PC slump. Our overall business is unlikely to show improvement," Sanders said.
The downside for AMD came in flash memory, which is bought by communications companies. Memory revenues declined to $160 million, down from $411 in the first quarter the year before.
Nonetheless, revenue will drop to around $820 million to $900 million in the second quarter because of the weakness in flash memory and the ordinary seasonal drop in PC sales, the company said.
On the positive side, the second half looks promising, AMD executives said. The company will begin to ship its MirrorBit flash memory in the second half of the year. MirrorBit can store twice as much data as standard memory, but without additional cost.
Meanwhile, ClawHammer, a new desktop chip, will likely come out at the end of the year and run at 2GHz or more, while SledgeHammer, a version for servers, will hit in early 2003.
In the past, AMD said it planned to return to profitability in the second half of 2002. | <urn:uuid:0cf85eb9-1ab9-4f3f-9627-1c7a1af20772> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.cnet.com/tech/tech-industry/amd-beats-estimates-on-strong-sales/ | 2023-09-28T19:05:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.95514 | 648 |

Google has called off its I/O Developer Conference 2020 due to COVID-19 fears. It has joined the row of other major events globally to be canceled this year.
Google I/O was scheduled for May 12th to 14th, 2020. It has been canceled due to COVID-19 concerns. An e-mail was sent to attendees giving them the news.
“Due to concerns around the coronavirus (COVID-19), and in accordance with health guidance from the CDC, WHO, and other health authorities, we have decided to cancel the physical Google I/O event at Shoreline Amphitheatre. Over the coming weeks, we will explore other ways to evolve Google I/O to best connect with and continue to build our developer community. We’ll continue to update the Google I/O website.”
Google I/O Developer Conference is Google’s most popular annual event.
Google I/O Developer Conference 2020 Attendees to Get Refunds
Sources indicate that Google hasn’t revealed plans for taking the event remotely. Intended attendees will be refunded their funds. Attendees also get automatic tickets to the 2021 event.
Google has also indicated that it intends to release $1 million to local organizations involved in Science, Technology, Engineering and Medicine (STEM). The intended recipients are the local companies within the Mountainview California area.
Technology events are suffering across the board.
This year has seen some of the biggest event cancellation rates in recent times. As we have already mentioned they include Facebook’s F8 developer conference, the Mobile World Congress, the Game Developer Conference. The Geneva Motor Show is also a victim of the situation. This indicates that there are increased fears about the virus.
Remote services, however, seem to be the ultimate gainers during this period of uncertainty. Google CEO Sundar Pichai has indicated recently that video conferencing capabilities to Google’s Hangout line of products. He indicated in a tweet that video conferencing capabilities for G-Suite and G-Suite for schools will be free.
We want to help businesses and schools impacted by COVID-19 stay connected: starting this week, we'll roll out free access to our advanced Hangouts Meet video-conferencing capabilities through July 1, 2020 to all G Suite customers globally. https://t.co/OWWF7s5jjR

Working Remotely May Be on the Rise
Remote meetings seem to be on the rise with the concerns that surround COVID-19. Sources indicate that most of the tech companies are encouraging their workers to work remotely. This will be the case until the Coronavirus issues are resolved. Companies include Stripe, Slack, Square, and even Twitter. It remains unclear working remotely will remain as a trend after COVID-19. However, for now, this seems the way to go as more infections and deaths are already sweeping through countries that have the virus.
Google seems to want to make digital meetups and linkups to be a thing. Their offering now includes free access for both video and audio. Meetings now have an improved capacity of up to 250 people. Live streams are also enhanced with an audience capacity of up to 100,000 people. This covers one domain only. Events can also be recorded and saved unto Google drive as well.
With all that is going on, a more interconnected world may be the harbinger of economic recovery that we are all looking for. As will all things the magic word that is required for technology convergence is the same one we all use every day in the technology world: adoption. | <urn:uuid:56e26dc3-a4a9-40b5-ac67-4461ed9653f6> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.coinspeaker.com/google-cancels-i-o-2020-coronavirus/ | 2023-09-28T19:01:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.956919 | 810 |

"As a mother, you want the best for your children. It was easier to know what was best for them in their younger years. The College Concierge helped each of my daughters get accepted into the college of her choice and both received great scholarships."
--Thankful Mother (St. Louis, MO)
"I have to admit that I was feeling overwhelmed, uninformed and late to the game in getting my senior focusing on the college process. While his high school did a decent job of getting information to parents and students, we still were not sure how to proceed with the process. It is such a different process compared to when I was applying to college.
After enduring the struggle for a few weeks, a colleague gave me the name of The College Concierge. Upon reviewing the packages and discussing my situation with the staff, I felt confident that my son would get through the process without feeling overwhelmed and lost.
We decided to spend a little more on the senior package, and finished our last session with no regrets. I cannot express how grateful I am for the great attention we received from Christy. Her knowledge of the college space kept my son on track with managing the workload in a timely manner. She also made the effort to get to know us personally, which helped my son to narrow down his list of schools right away.
My truly rewarding experience with the TCC saved me the stress of driving my kid through the application and scholarship processes by empowering him to own his space and forge forward. It allowed me to watch him grow as he competently waded through the complexity of college applications with the aid of a trusted partner. We'll miss Christy!"

The Benefits of Integrated Opioid Addiction Treatment
Integrated care has been proven effective in treating opioid addiction because it offers a comprehensive approach that addresses all aspects of an individual’s life, not just their drug use.
Seven of the major benefits of opioid addiction treatment through integrated care include:
- Addressing the underlying causes of addiction – If opioid addiction is a symptom of an underlying mental health or social issue, integrated care can provide the necessary support to address those issues.
- Better continuity of care – By combining services, integrated opioid addiction treatment ensures seamless transition from one form of care to the next.
- Reduces stigma – By addressing opioid addiction in a comprehensive and compassionate manner, integrated care helps to reduce the stigma surrounding this condition.

GRAND BEND MAIN STREET RIOT, 1964
In the summer of 1964, I was at the family cottage with my parents, Mary and Ed Desilets. We decided to take our usual evening stroll down to Main Street, and take up our usual perch on the wall next to MacLaren's Drug Store. We enjoyed people watching and being part of the activities on the main drag.
On that particular night there were unusually large crowds of young people gathering on the sidewalks and in the street. We had never experienced crowds like that, and wondered what was going on. In a very short period of time it evolved into a mob, out of control. The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) made an appearance on Main Street to assess the situation and to make their presence known. When they noticed the police presence, the crowd panicked and started running in all directions, on Main Street and up the side streets.
Given the mood of the crowd, we decided that this wasn't a good place to be, and we headed back to the house. We got caught up in the melee, so I grabbed onto my mother and we stepped in between two vehicles that were parked on the street in front of the MacLaren house. We felt safe between the vehicles. As soon as the crowd dispersed enough to give us a comfort level to step back into the street, we proceeded home. We got back to the cottage safely and bedded down for the night.
The following weekend (Labor Day Weekend) we had guests from Michigan. On Saturday evening, we all, as well as my boyfriend (now my husband, David) decided to do the usual trip to MacLaren's sidewalk wall, where everyone sat. We checked out the crowd, then stepped down the street to the Cheryl Ann for some fries and then across the street for a beverage at the Imperial Hotel.
After a couple of cocktails we decided to call it a night and head for home. We stepped out of the hotel into the middle of another unruly crowd, numbering in the hundreds, much more vocal and aggressive than the previous Saturday night.
Directly in front of the hotel was a gang of young men doing their very best to roll over an OPP squad car. On our left stood an OPP officer with his nightstick, pummeling a young man. We stood in awe as we watched the crowd of rowdies acting out.
I cannot recall how long we observed the goings on, but, when we had the opportunity, we crossed through the crowd to the north side of Main Street and bolted up Huron Street for home.
As we rounded that corner at Main and Huron, we heard something that we had never experienced before. A very vocal official was reading The Riot Act to the boisterous crowd. We all looked at one another, knowing that we had experienced something very unique, then followed Huron Street home.
When we got to the house, my parents and their friends were ready to settle in, but Dave and I decided we wanted to see how the events had played out, so we sneaked back towards the action to check it out.
When we got out onto the street and headed south, we came upon Gordon Mackay and his girlfriend Kathy (now his wife) and their good friends Jim Monnot and his girlfriend (now his wife Dianne). The Mackay's had a family cottage a half block from ours and Jim and Dianne were at Dianne's family cottage on the south side of the Ausable River.
As we stood in the street talking about the events of the evening, we got the second surprise of our lives. The OPP "paddy wagon" was traversing the streets just north of Main Street, with the rear doors swinging open as they rounded corners. Inside the wagon were OPP officers discharging tear gas cannisters into the crowds. We opted not to go back down to Main Street until the crowd thinned out and all appeared quiet.
Around midnight, Jim convinced us that we needed slip back downtown to check out the 'scene of the crime'. So we set out on the two block walk to Main Street. We got back to "the wall" at MacLaren's when we met up with a lone OPP officer who promptly turned us around, telling us that Main Street was off-limits for the night. So off we went, back to our homes, to settle in for the night.
Two years ago, while wintering in Florida, we were enjoying the sunshine at the pool of our condo, when we struck up a conversation with a fellow who had a noticeable Canadian accent.
One thing led to another in our conversation about "where are you from", etc. We were very surprised to learn that he was a retired OPP officer. We asked him if he ever was posted at the Grand Bend station, and it was neat to hear that he was. Amazingly, he was at the riot there in 1964. He inquired if he had arrested me for misbehavior at the riot, and I responded that I was not a participant, but merely a casual observer.
Having been frequent visitors to Grand Bend since 1946 has truly been a significant part of our lives. We have introduced other friends to The Pinery, Main Street, Oakwood and many other attractions in Lambton County. We continue to visit the Mackay's at their retirement home there, and have many fond memories of the hospitality in the area. | <urn:uuid:a0527f28-d495-47b5-8f6e-4235584e7558> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.communitystories.ca/v1/pm_v2.php?id=search_record_detail&fl=0&lg=English&ex=00000692&hs=0&sy=itm&st=&ci=93&rd=186579 | 2023-09-28T17:48:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.982668 | 1,115 |

Updated: May 15
As anyone who reads this blog regularly will know, we find islands fascinating, and the conservation of their native biodiversity and ecological interactomes (such a brilliant word!) of utmost importance. However, working in island ecosystem management and conservation on different islands over many years, we also encounter similar problems repeatedly. From major and obvious barriers, like lack of funding or legislation enforcement, to day-to-day hurdles that prevent effective management of these critical ecosystems, island conservation is often more of an obstacle course than a straightforward race.
Aldabra Atoll UNESCO World Heritage Site, inspiration for this research (all photos copyright Seychelles Islands Foundation)
Inevitably, we talked often about these challenges on different islands – for example, how widely encountered are these barriers across island conservation? What types of issues are faced by practitioners working on other islands, and especially which have the biggest impacts for island ecosystems around the world?
We eventually decided to formalise our questions into a proper study and, with a brilliant group of co-authors, created an online questionnaire to target island practitioners across the world. We first trialled this on a willing group of colleagues from the University of Exeter in an in-person feedback session and incorporated their feedback (a very useful and recommended step). We based the survey questions on our previous study, a series of longer, semi-structured interviews of conservation practitioners in Seychelles, which helped to identify a range of challenges and barriers across all levels of management within this nation of 115 islands.
A practitioner's hurdle race to achieving effective conservation management (from Burt et al. 2021)
We then circulated the survey using a combination of established networks, targeted circulation to island conservation organisations and snowball sampling to reach as many island practitioners as possible, initially thinking we’d be lucky to get 100-200 respondents...
Online survey coverage of respondents' country of work in island ecosystem management and conservation, based on 360 practitioners. NB: Countries with a high number of respondents but not seen on the map due to their size include Seychelles and Mauritius.
In fact, a stunning 360 conservation and management practitioners working on islands in 77 countries responded, and while some of the barriers identified were expected, the responses also uncovered a whole raft of barriers that have barely been identified, let alone explored. So, what did we find…?
1. Governance hinders conservation and management efforts
The main barriers to effective island management are perceived to play out at the national level, with over 60% of respondents agreeing that ‘poor conservation policy implementation and law enforcement’ hinders management efforts. This suggests that governments are either not making policies to protect the environment or that existing policies are simply not effective or enforced, leaving frontline workers without the support they need to properly manage these critical ecosystems.
2. Lack of training opportunities prevents sound management
85% of the survey participants highlighted the skills gap, with 82% of respondents regularly having to recruit volunteers to fill skill gaps within the organisation they work for. Staff in many island nations collect data but then struggle to translate it into useful information that can be used to make informed management decisions. This could mean that, despite the masses of data being collected, downward trends in population size or ecosystem health are simply not reported - species therefore run the risk of serious declines or extinction before anyone can act.
3. Mismatch between skills taught and skills needed
There is a mismatch between the skills that are taught to students in formal conservation courses and the skills that are required in biodiversity conservation and management positions. We found that some of the skills that practitioners feel are most lacking in their organisation are not taught on any Conservation Masters programmes or if they are, the training is not sufficient to make a difference. These include data analysis, data management and leadership. Among many training gaps outlined by practitioners was the need for training in monitoring design and how monitoring can be linked to and inform management objectives.
The top 10 skills and training needs that respondents felt would assist in achieving management objectives
4. Big egos interfere with effective collaborations
One of the most surprising findings was that a whopping 84% of survey participants identified ‘big egos’ and other interpersonal issues between practitioners at high levels to have impacted collaboration efforts. This included a lack of trust within collaborations and blocking of data- and knowledge-sharing among practitioners, with issues such as possessiveness over data, species, or sites identified as hindering management connectivity and conservation efforts. This is alarming as it suggests that that egos and interpersonal issues hinder island conservation efforts worldwide.
From problems to practical solutions
The paper may be published, but the identification of these barriers by the island practitioner community itself is only the first step. Increasing awareness of barriers with outreach (including this article) is the next step. And tackling and eventually reversing or mitigating the barriers should follow. Our hope for the third step is that the survey results will help to:
leverage targeted funding for actions that bridge these barriers for island practitioners, including longer funding cycles, and resources for additional staff;
shine a light on some of the unexpected obstacles, such as big egos and data issues, etc, emphasising the need for better collaboration, greater trust and professionalism at all levels;
provide more evidence that suitable training remains a crucial gap in island conservation, thereby supporting organisations wanting to provide more and better training for staff;
provide the information needed to better align conservation training with skills needs within conservation organisations;
trigger the introduction of incentive schemes for high-performing staff to encourage them to stay long-term in conservation positions;
promote engagement between research institutions and practitioners from the outset, to overcome barriers through genuine collaboration.
A last word
Island practitioners work on the frontline of conservation, tackling on a daily basis the dual crises of biodiversity loss and climate change, often against a rapidly ticking clock and with odds stacked against success. This study gives a voice to the entire community of island practitioners, who have told us clearly what the main barriers they face are and what they need to be effective. Supporting local people to do their jobs better is the only way to stem the current tide of biodiversity loss. Ultimately, this is one of the few ways islands will be able to effectively protect and manage their priceless biodiversity.

The CMF seeks to establish good relations with the London embassies and high commissions of all Muslim majority countries. The reason is that all these countries have diaspora communities in the UK who are potential Conservative voters and potential CMF members. Also all of these countries are trading partners of the UK.
One important aspect of this is attending events at the embassy or high commission when invited.
On 2 November CMF Executive Member Lady Sheikh, and CMF Executive Secretary Shaheen Thantrey were at the Turkish Embassy. They were attending a celebration for the 94’th anniversary of the Republic of Turkey. (Republic Day is 29 October.)

How Does Endo Pump Work?
We did our research to establish what makes Endo Pump an effective supplement for improved stamina, improved erectile functions, high energy levels, and increased sexual satisfaction.
We discovered that Endo Pump contains natural ingredients, including Tribulus Terrestris, Muira Puama, horny goat weed, vitamin E, niacin, and ginkgo biloba extract. Each of these ingredients works to support endothelial functions in the body.
Endo Pump Ingredients – Are they Safe & Effective?
Vitamin E works to improve blood circulation to the sexual organs and the brain to increase sexual desire and boost libido. Vitamin E supplements also help balance hormones and improve oxygen flow to sexual organs.
According to the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, vitamin E has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects and may help improve endothelial functions in the body. Vitamin E supplementation helps alleviate vascular inflammation, oxidative stress, and systematic inflammation.
“Vitamin E is an essential vitamin that helps increase sexual interest and libido. Vitamin E has testosterone-boosting and antioxidant effects that help improve the production of the sex hormones.” – Dr. Rachelle Herdman, MD, ND.
Niacin or better known as vitamin B3 is an essential vitamin required for improved sexual performance and increased libido. As explained in our content for Niacinmax Reviews, Niacin improves blood circulation in the blood vessels to keep them healthy. Healthy blood flow to all body parts, including the sexual organs may help men sustain strong penile erections. It also helps produce many hormones in the body to increase sexual stimulation in women and improve vaginal hydration.
In a randomized controlled trial published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, 150 men with erectile dysfunction were given niacin supplements every day for 12 weeks. The results showed improvements in erectile functions for these men. Niacin works by improving blood circulation to the penile to support firmer erections.
Horny Goat Weed
Horny goat weed is a traditional herb that has been used for centuries to ease sexual issues like erectile dysfunction, low libido, fatigue, and pain. The weed contains phytoestrogens, which work to increase blood flow in the genitals, increase libido and improve sexual functions. Notable, most men today prefer supplements with horny goat weed, for erectile dysfunction.
“Icariin or horny goat weed supplementation has been used for many years in the treatment of erectile dysfunction in men. Icariin increases nitric oxide production in the endothelial cells.”Allan Shindel et al., in the Journal of Sexual Medicine,
We also delved deeper into Incariin’s sexual benefits in our content for Incariin 60 Reviews.
Tribulus Terrestris Extract
This plant extract has aphrodisiac properties and it works to reduce symptoms of erectile dysfunction and improve sexual, function, and sexual satisfaction. Tribulus Terrestris may also treat infertility and impotence, cardiovascular diseases, and urogenital disorders.
According to the Journal of Human Kinetics, some nutritional and herbal supplements do contain Tribulus Terrestris, an exotic plant that enhances human vitality. The study further claims that Tribulus Terrestris helps increase testosterone levels and improve erectile functions in men.
“The fruits and roots of Tribulus Terrestris can easily be used to improve men’s vitality and virility.” Says, Kamal Patel, MPH, MBA,
Muira Puama Powder
Muira Puama is a plant that is popularly known as potency wood. It is marketed as an aphrodisiac to help improve erectile functions, reduce body fatigue, and increase libido in men and women. Studies support that this plant extract help increase blood circulation to the genital organs. The relaxation of the blood vessels helps support stronger and firmer penile erections and increases sexual desire.
The Translational Andrology and Urology Journal support that Muira Puama is a potency wood commonly used by the Amazonians to help increase libido and improve penile functions by stimulating the nervous system.
Verdict: Based on this ingredient selection, we approve of Endo Pump for the support of improved sexual performance because the ingredients address common libido and erectile dysfunction concerns.

US stock indexes finished 0.1% – 0.2% higher today but small stocks were lower by more than 0.5%. European stocks were down a bit while Asia was mixed. Both gold and oil were up over 2% today. You should probably have one or both in your portfolio.
Most bonds were down slightly again today and the dollar was weak as Greece got a second bailout package after a lot of drama. The Greek drama is far from over but we are at another intermission. This is no 3-act play; this will go on for years and not because it was so popular, just that Greece’s needed reforms will mean much greater decline in their standard of living. That keeps tax revenue declining and support services (expenses) increasing and so it goes.
Think of Greece as being a house in danger of foreclosure. The mortgagees keep getting loans even though they should have moved out long ago because their business is really in a downward spiral. They need a smaller house with less debt but the process is being really strung out, hoping the business will come back, which I doubt because so much was built on cheap loans, corruption and dectption, producing for a while an artificially high standard of living. | <urn:uuid:e542f91f-f82b-4caf-ab9f-ab726cdf24d4> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.cornerstoneinvestment.com/2012/02/21/tue-22112-512-pm-stocks-close-slightly-higher-greek-deal/ | 2023-09-28T18:46:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.990281 | 252 |

When Claude Doucet bought his land, Quebec’s Agricultural Protection Law did not yet exist. With this new law, at the beginning of the 1980’s, Mount Pinnacle was zoned green because it was, for the most part, a sugarbush. “Ten years later, 800 acres on the peak and the north face of the Pinnacle were rezoned white to allow a ski hill, golf course and condominium project, which resulted in a huge controversy,” he explains. Mr. Doucet was deeply concerned by this situation, joining forces with other residents to put a stop to this decision and to support the introduction of municipal bylaws to control development. “It was in this context that Mount Pinnacle Land Trust was created, acquiring 143 acres of the mountain in order to preserve these natural areas from all forms of development. I thus became an active member of the Land Trust from the very beginning.”
For many years Mr. Doucet dreamed of protecting his property. “After several meetings with Mount Pinnacle Land Trust and the Appalachian Corridor team, I opted for the conservation servitude. They explained the process of establishing a servitude and they supported me every step of the way”.
It was the fear of zoning changes on Mount Pinnacle that motivated Mr. Doucet to give a conservation servitude to the Land Trust. “Zoning regulations have become more and more fragile. I see all around me how relatively easy it is to rezone a property and to allow other land uses. Municipalities can also change their zoning plans every five years. That is also fragile. It is therefore up to the landowners to protect the land from such changes. With a conservation servitude you ensure the protection of natural areas forever, even if you sell the land or bequeath it to your children.” Mr. Doucet hopes that by setting an example his neighbors will become aware of the “natural richness” of their part of the world.
As one of the steps leading to the servitude, a conservation plan was developed by biologists in order to determine the ecological value of the property and the key elements to be protected. “In my forest, biologists noted the presence of the Red-Shouldered Hawk, a bird of prey nesting and feeding in mature forests. I have the pleasure of providing this threatened species with a high quality habitat!”.
Victor & Elisabeth AllistoneIn 1961, Victor and Elisabeth Allistone purchased a 10-acre farm in Sutton. During the 1970s, they purchased adjacent properties and ended up owners of 479 acres of land on the flanks of Mount Gagnon. Elisabeth remembers: “We were extremely interested in forestry techniques with a view to conservation and reforestation”. A specific section of their property, located near the summit of Mount Gagnon, is occupied by a hardwood forest over a hundred years old. “In the Sutton Mountains there are few such woods. We decided to preserve this wealth forever by donating this part of the woodlands to a conservation organisation” explains Elisabeth. After several exploratory meetings, they went through the ecological donation process for their 32-acre century forest.
Monts Sutton“Numerous initiatives with resource people from Nature Conservancy Canada, the Ministère de l’Environnement du Québec and Environment Canada, as well as with chartered Land Appraisers, were needed to succeed with our aims. It all began with an excellent ecological evaluation of our property, performed by Louise Gratton, who is the Scientific Advisor for Appalachian Corridor. We learned, among other things, that all through our woods runs a section of brook that houses the Spring Salamander, a species endangered in Canada. Our century forest is also carpeted with Wild Leek. All of this and more convinced us of the rightness of what we were doing” adds Elisabeth.
Ever since the Allistones undertook to make this ecological donation, they received numerous messages of appreciation from their neighbours and within the community groups in which they are active. “In this area, we are something of a pioneer, and I hope that our gesture will inspire other landowners to undertake voluntary conservation initiatives in the Sutton Mountains area” concludes Elisabeth. Following on from this first project, the Allistones protected additional adjacent lands in perpetuity with the Mount Echo Conservation Association (MECA).
“In 1984, my husband and I decided to reorient our lives. I wanted to keep access to our 700 acres of land to go walking my dogs and, above all, we wanted to make sure that upon our deaths, this natural jewel would be preserved in its wilderness state, but we didn’t know how that could be accomplished.”
Ms. Stansje PlantengaI was looking for a way to protect my land and the valley as a whole, not by myself, but with people who, like me, are sensitive to the importance of taking care of the valley and protecting its beauty in perpetuity. In 1987, we created the Ruiter Valley Land Trust by making a donation of 400 acres of land. We solicited the support of lawyers, scientists, fundraising professionals and representatives of American Land Trusts to get the project off the ground and to form our first Board of Directors. The concept was so innovative that we had to do battle at the government level just to obtain the status of non-profit organization capable of issuing charitable receipts!”
“The conservation servitude is, in my opinion, the most effective tool for preserving the integrity of natural habitats on private land. The servitude is based on a cooperative approach between the property owner and the Trust. In 2001, I decided to donate another part of my property (80 acres) as well as two conservation servitudes (24 acres). As I come from overseas, from the Netherlands, I have a different perspective on the Appalachian Corridor territory. I see this area as being part of a northern geographic ensemble, where there are still tracts of wilderness and where their integrity is in greater and greater peril. This region possesses a natural treasure and it is our responsibility, collectively, to protect it. It is a gift for humanity.” | <urn:uuid:73a73a69-26f8-4fbc-aa02-ce1820c7ca8c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.corridorappalachien.ca/en/testimonials-from-land-donors/ | 2023-09-28T17:22:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.961622 | 1,292 |

In the three months ending June 2019, Kosé’s sales were higher in almost every Asian country and region where it enjoys a presence. This, it added, was in spite of the economic slowdown in the region.
The strength in Asia reinforced Kosé’s performance, net sales grew 1.6% to ¥81.7bn ($752.5). Its operating profit fell by 24.2%.
However, the company claimed that expenses for aggressive marketing activities caused its earnings to decrease.
Japan falters in strong Asian market
The Japanese cosmetics company said it had been focusing on reinforcing existing sales channels throughout Asia while expanding into new sales channels such as duty-free stores and e-commerce platforms.
The group’s objective was to establish a global and borderless customer base. This included leveraging the demand from foreign tourists.
This was further bolstered by the demand for its ‘high-prestige’ brands such as Decorté and Albion, which were a major source of the company’s growth throughout Asia.
However, sales in its home market of Japan fell by 5.3% to JPY56.6bn ($520.9m).
The company reported that sales dipped in its major sales channels such as the department store channels, which mainly carried its prestige brands. According to the group, the channel experienced weak skin care sales and low tourist transactions.
In the drug store and general merchandise store channels, sales of the ESPRIQUE makeup brand increased. However, skin care brands including SEKKISEI and ONE BY KOSÉ dropped.
The firm’s cosmetaries portfolio, which includes brands such as Suncut, Clear Turn and Visée also a drop in sales.
The company’s performance in North America also declined, with net sales dropping 4.1%.
It claimed that sales were affected by rapid changes taking place in the competitive landscape of the colour cosmetics market.
However, sales at Tarte remained unchanged from a year earlier amid intense competition in the US.
The rest of the markets grew by 67.6%. The company said sales were higher in this category mostly because of measures to enter new markets, primarily the expansion of Tarte Cosmetics in Europe.
Sales of the cosmetics business increased by 3.9% while operating profit decreased by 8.5%.
Its prestige category grew thanks to measures put in place to strengthen the brands. This included activities such as the launch of new products for ESPRIQUE and ONE BY KOSÉ, as well as an increase in promotions for SEKKISEI.
The group noted that its earnings declined mainly because of an increase in the cost of sales ratio and higher selling, as well as general and administrative expenses caused by expenses for aggressive marketing activities.
To boost its cosmetaries business, the company developed new, targeted products and carried out advertising and promotional activities.
However, sales declined by 8.1%. This was attributed to the strong sales in the previous year due to the launch of new products.
Moving forward, Kosé announced a range of products it plans to launch by the end of this year.
It added that it will be unveiling a new concept store in Tokyo’s Ginza District, Maison Kosé, which will include digital innovations.
This is in line with the company’s mission to increase the global presence of Kosé and help the company reach its 2026 target of ¥ 500bn ($4.6bn) | <urn:uuid:e9c0bc07-1905-4226-9437-c375453d76fc> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.cosmeticsdesign-asia.com/Article/2019/08/07/Asia-propels-Kose-Double-digit-growth-in-Asia-leads-to-record-high-sales-for-Japan-brand | 2023-09-28T18:49:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.977704 | 723 |

Purpose and aims
Despite recent advances in cancer treatment strategies, global data indicates that breast cancer still account for approximately 500,000 deaths among women annually. Every year, approximately 1500 women die from breast cancer in Sweden alone.
Chronic unresolving inflammation is believed to play a vital role in the pathogenesis of several types of cancers, including breast cancer. Interleukin-1 (IL-1) belongs to a large family of cytokines involved in innate immunity and inflammation. Among this large family members, the role of IL-1(alpha) and IL-1(beta) in autoimmunity and inflammation have been extensively studied.
However, the role of IL-1(alpha) and IL-1(beta) in the context of cancer is not fully understood as conflicting roles of these cytokines have been reported. The overall purpose of this research project is to investigate the functional consequences of targeting IL-1 in a breast tumor context.
This will be done in a collaboration between Cantargia AB and Lund University, Sweden, with the following specific goals;
(i) to determine the effect(s) of interleukin-1 receptor accessory protein (IL-1RAP) targeting on tumor progression, immune evasion and anti-tumor adaptive immune responses.
(ii) to determine the mechanism(s) of synergism between IL-1RAP targeting and chemotherapy (in vitro), and between IL-1RAP targeting and immunotherapy (in vivo).
(iii) to unravel possible alternative pathway(s) exploited by stromal cells during IL-1RAP inhibition.
Significance and scientific novelty
Although the role of IL-1 in innate immunity and inflammation have been extensively studied, our understanding of its role in breast cancer progression and immune evasion is limited. Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most aggressive form of breast cancer. Several studies have shown the effects of IL-1 signaling on certain subsets of stroma cells in TNBC but no study has been done on the functional consequence of targeting IL-1 in the context of TNBC and other breast cancers. | <urn:uuid:19b79656-9397-4465-b7f2-3b90042f2c4d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.createhealth.lth.se/canfaster/finished-canfaster-projects/the-role-of-il-1-in-breast-cancer-progression-and-immune-evasion/ | 2023-09-28T18:55:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.938722 | 438 |

True artificial intelligence (AI) can replace humans. It probably can take over the world. However, you won’t be seeing true AI in the next decades or even the following centuries. What we have now is learning AI — one that doesn’t even come close to the real thing.
True AI needs to be sentient and have a measure of free will. Every other form of AI is just complex programming. The programming language itself restricts the development of True AI. With just binary choices, a program can ultimately only answer yes or no — no maybes and no buts. This lack of flexibility is what makes current “so-called AI” inferior to humans, but this lack of flexibility also makes them superior in some ways. You know your calculator or computer won’t deliberately give you a wrong answer and even if it did, chances are it’s a malfunction or glitch and not some evil ulterior motive. Sentient or self-aware AI is still a pipe dream and the current technology might not have the capability to build one.
Robots Taking Jobs
AI doomsayers often predict massive waves of job loss due to the entry of AI into various industries. That prediction can’t be more wrong. AI won’t be replacing humans any time soon. The current AI in the USA performs repetitive menial jobs that require very little skill. AI is more suited to assisting workers than actually replacing them. One of the biggest hit by AI fears is the commercial trucking industry. The fear of self-driving trucks have contributed to the massive shortage of drivers, and industry leaders maintain that even so-called self-driving vehicles still require human drivers. The use of AI in commercial airplanes in the form of the autopilot has been going around for years. However, airlines still employ actual pilots.
For AI, driving is a lot more complicated than flying. There are more factors on the road than in the air — pedestrians, bikers, accidents, actual traffic — an AI system will not be enough. Accident lawyers already have field days with human truck drivers — what more with AI? With no driver to sue, the trucking company and the AI developer get all the blame, and no company will risk that. Like planes, trucks will have an onboard driver who can switch on the AI once the truck reaches the highway. The driver still makes the decisions; the AI manages primary cruise control and road alignment.
The Future of AI
Expect to see more of these learning programs integrated into your daily life. These so-called AI will be assisting people in their jobs, entertaining gamers with their tenacity, driving cars, and keeping tabs on you over the internet. Real AI? Probably not in your lifetime and maybe not in a few centuries. Scientists have yet to crack the wonder of actual sentience. It’s a lot easier to reach the stars than make a thinking robot.
You probably won’t see true AI in your lifetime, and that’s a good thing. Robot overlords will not be taking over the world. Instead, you have learning AI that dutifully serves at the behest of its human masters. | <urn:uuid:68976130-689d-4d03-8329-568faf523b9e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.crosscriminallaw.com/robots-wont-be-taking-over-any-time-soon/ | 2023-09-28T17:31:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.953619 | 653 |
Map of USS Iowa Route from San Francisco to Los Angeles
(SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., May 18, 2012) – Adding to a rich history of successful ocean towing projects spanning over nearly a half a century, Crowley Maritime Corporation is set to embark on a four-day tow of the retired military vessel USS Iowa from San Francisco to Los Angeles on Sunday, May 20.
Crowley’s 7,200-HP tugboat Warrior will connect to the former U.S. Navy battleship in a series of towlines and chains, and guide it from its departing point of Port Richmond, across the San Francisco Bay and under the Golden Gate Bridge, to its final destination in the Port of Los Angeles. During the journey, the vessel will be flanked by a parade of ships in honor of the USS Iowa, including the SS Jeremiah O’Brien and President Franklin Roosevelt’s presidential yacht, among a host of other private vessels.
The USS Iowa, which is now owned and operated by the non-profit Pacific Battleship Center, is more than 14 stories high, 887 feet long and weighs more than 45,000 tons. It was fully operational through the 80s, World War II and the Korean War, and will be converted into an interactive museum that will highlight the vessel and its crew’s contribution during those critical moments in American history, once it reaches its permanent home at Berth 87.
“Crowley has had the opportunity to provide towing services for many of America’s most historically significant ships,” said Andrew Gauthier, port captain, Crowley marine services. “It is an honor for our team and company to have the privilege of caring for the USS Iowa on her journey to her new home.”
In the past, Crowley has successfully towed several other historic military ships and aircraft carriers, including the USS Missouri from Washington to Pearl Harbor in 1998, the USS New Jersey from Washington to Philadelphia via the Panama Canal in 1999, and the USS Oriskany from South America to Vallejo, Calif.
For decades, Crowley’s ocean towing and barge transportation team has positioned itself as a leader and expert in moving the large and unusual. The team guarantees unmatched expertise and specialized equipment to provide safe and reliable marine transportation and logistics solutions for project cargo offshore construction and module component movements worldwide.
The Pacific Battleship Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established in 2009. The organization was awarded custody of USS Iowa BB-61 on September 6, 2011, for display as a museum and educational attraction at Port of Los Angeles Berth 87. For more information about the non-profit and the USS Iowa, visit www.pacificbattleship.com
Jacksonville-based Crowley Holdings Inc., a holding company of Crowley Maritime Corporation founded in San Francisco in 1892, is a privately held family and employee-owned company primarily engaged in project solutions, transportation and logistics services in domestic and international markets.

“Wow, look at this. You gotta see this!” I heard these comments when my students were looking through microscopes at water samples from a local pond. They are naturally curious and typically respond to new discoveries with wonder. I love to intentionally plan my science classes to make space for meaningful reflection where students have opportunities to experience a sense of mystery, curiosity, and awe as they explore God’s brilliant creativity displayed in the universe.
It seems so obvious, but sometimes the obvious must be said: Science studies God’s creation, and in doing so tells an important part of the story of his greatness. Awe and wonder are biblically appropriate responses to what God does and has done in his universe. When we respond with awe and wonder to what we discover about creation, our hearts are shaped to serve God better in the world.
In early Elementary, students are almost instinctively moved by the beauty and intricacy of creation. Progressing through school, however, they seem to lose their ability to ask questions and freely explore. Teachers are faced with the question, “How can we intentionally create opportunities for students to continue to experience awe and wonder in the classroom?”
The desire to wonder, explore, and respond in awe is placed in us by God. To teacher Eunsub Cho, wonder is more than curiosity; it is a blend of beholding and marveling at the living and non-living parts of God’s creation. Cho works to instill a posture of wonder in his students in their science classroom. “Creation is full of these mysteries that we are invited to explore together,” Cho said. He diligently works to foster an environment that appreciates beauty, ponders mysteries, and explores things we do not yet understand.
The Potter’s House in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where Eunsub Cho is a middle school teacher, has an interdisciplinary project called the Wonder Academy. Cho worked with his colleagues to weave the concept of wonder into science, language arts, and Bible lessons. According to Cho, the key goal is “for students to learn that their faith is something they take with them into every classroom. It frames everything they do and helps them make sense of all they see. We go through a lot of different kinds of topics and they all end up at God’s creation.”
What follows are a few practices and suggestions Cho and I discussed about fostering awe and wonder in our classrooms.
Apply Project-Based Learning
A great avenue for students to become explorers is project-based learning. Teachers are challenged to move from lecture-based classes to engage the world through their senses and provide opportunities for students to ask their own investigative questions. Cho’s Wonder Class was answering the question: How do we restore the connection between people and water? While testing water quality in a local creek, Eunsub Cho’s students were challenged to also capture moments of beauty in one photo. Later they wrote a narrative describing the beauty found in the midst of the brokenness in and around a polluted stream.
Invite a Sense of Wonder through Reflective Writing
In Cho’s class, each student brings their own “Wonder Journal.” On a weekly basis, students go to their specifically chosen location in the school which they call their “Wonder spot.” The key focus is the practice and art of seeing, paying attention, slowing down, and making careful observations. How can we see God’s creation as a work of art? Reflective writing is an effective practice for developing a sense of wonder. Cho encourages his students to find moments that draw their attention to the beauty around them and moments that bring mysteries to ponder that make them reflect on verses like “This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.” (Psalm 118:23, ESV)
Create an “I Wonder” Board
In my classroom, an “I wonder” board or journal provides a place for students to ask questions and reflect and make connections to the content covered in class. At the start of each unit, I give students an opportunity to record their questions and wonderings about the new concepts we will be covering. The questions are posted on our “I wonder” board. Periodically we read and discuss, research, and answer the questions.
When we create a classroom where awe and wonder thrive and where we can slow down and use our senses, we begin to see things through our students’ eyes as together we explore God’s creation. Teachers who model wonder and awe can instill within students a lifelong passion for discovery and new learning. When studying and taking time to observe and ponder the intricacies of God’s creation, the classroom becomes a place of wonder, celebration, and gratitude. Our classroom becomes a sacred space where we can say: “Our Lord and God, you are worthy to receive glory and honor and power, because you have created all things, and by your will they exist and were created.” (Revelation 4:11, CSB)
Wonder and awe are fostered when we allow students to practice the art of paying attention and reflection.
Project-based learning is a great avenue for students to become awe-filled explorers of God’s creation. | <urn:uuid:deb18fb6-75ba-4c6f-bd05-da759bc3a139> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.csionline.org/articles/how-to-make-your-science-classroom-a-place-of-wonder-and-awe | 2023-09-28T18:54:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.966719 | 1,100 |

Bosnian Serb Troops Stand Defiant
On mountains above capital, soldiers say they won't withdraw, are ready for strikes. REPORT FROM THE SERB FRONT LINE
| SARAJEVO, BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA
LIKE a miniature model lying at his feet, the shell-battered buildings and streets of Sarajevo sprawl beneath Zoran Divcic's mountainside bunker.
With bone-chilling clarity, one can see through a gauzy haze of snow and mist the burned-out hulks of skyscrapers, needle-like minarets and steeples, the old Turkish marketplace, and the homes and apartments of the 380,000 residents who have been trapped in the city for nearly two years.
And, directly below, the stick-like figures of French United Nations soldiers bustle about their base in the Skenderija shopping mall, an easy 500-yard shot from Mr. Divcic's post on the Bosnian Serb siege lines.
If NATO warplanes attempt to break those lines, warns the former postal worker, the UN Protection Force (UNPROFOR) base will be his first target.
``UNPROFOR will become our enemy. This would be war,'' vows Divcic, his resolute eyes framed by a grimy beard. ``We would start a great fight. We will hit every enemy plane. None will return to base. That is guaranteed.
``We hold the city in our palm,'' he adds, as comrades nod in agreement. ``They know we can destroy the whole city in 24 hours. But we don't want to.''
Such warnings have fueled the hesitancy among Western governments to take military action. But last Saturday's mortar blast that killed 68 people and wounded nearly 200 others galvanized public opinion and diplomatic action.
NATO overcame internal divisions on Wednesday and gave the Bosnian Serbs 10 days to either move their tanks, cannon, and other heavy weapons 13 miles from central Sarajevo or place them under UN control. The Bosnian government must also place its artillery under UN control.
If they do not, they will be attacked by the dozens of United States, British, and Dutch jets based in Italy and on carriers in the Adriatic Sea that have been practicing daily over Sarajevo for months.
No matter what may be the outcome of Geneva peace talks, which began again yesterday, Bosnian Serb officers on the ground say they will never pull all the big guns back. To do so, they argue, would open their territories to assault by more numerous Bosnian troops seeking to avenge the destruction of their city.
In Geneva, Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic, furious at the threat of NATO airstrikes, said yesterday the new round of peace talks were deadlocked because Muslims had rejected a Serb proposal to set up an international inquiry into last weekend's Sarajevo market massacre.
``We cannot agree to removing our artillery without being able to protect our front lines,'' says Col. Komljen Zarkovic, a senior official of the Bosnian Serbs' self-styled defense ministry.
Indeed, he admits, ``We have already pulled some of our artillery back and hidden it in the forests. I think we will intensify our preparations.''
He repeats the apocalyptic forecast of a wider war that Bosnian Serb leaders warn would erupt as a consequence of airstrikes. ``The Serbs will ... quickly get support from our friends. Europe is getting involved without any reason in a civil war that could quickly escalate into the center of Europe.''
The Bosnian Serb and rump Yugoslav media seem to be readying their publics for a showdown with the West. News programs show confidence-boosting scenes of smiling soldiers hefting Strela antiaircraft missiles, the Yugoslav-built version of the Soviet-made shoulder-fired SAM-7, or manning antiaircraft cannon.
On Tuesday, state-run Belgrade television broadcasts a program in which experts supported Karadzic's claim that last Saturday's massacre was a ``gross deception'' set up by the Bosnian government with human-sized dummies and ``corpses that were already several hours old.''
This version has been hungrily devoured by front-line fighters, who insist they have never fired indiscriminately at the city, and that only the Bosnian Army is killing civilians, including its own. ``They are shooting themselves,'' asserts Borko Govedarica, a member of Divcic's unit.
Their bunker is one of dozens strung along a narrow road that snakes across Mt. Trebevic, a strategic height of shear cliffs and tree-strewn slopes and ravines on Sarajevo's southernmost side. It is the site of the 1984 Winter Olympics bobsled and luge runs. The road is a lifeline between Bosnian Serb lines in western Sarajevo and their main headquarters in Pale, some seven miles east of the city.
A visit to Mt. Trebevic provides a more visceral sense of the Bosnian Serbs' staunch refusal to ease their grip on the Bosnian capital. They do not see themselves as besiegers, despite the high explosive storms they have blasted with reckless abandon into the city. These rough folk of hard peasant stock say they are only defending their side of a divided city and land passed like family relics from generation to generation.
``My house is just over there,'' says Divcic, pointing up a slope opposite his bunker. ``We are not guilty. We live here. For us, it's not a siege. We are just protecting our land, not attacking the Muslims. The West has no right to bomb the Serbs. They don't understand the truth about the Serbs' fight.''
What also becomes quickly evident are some of the enormous difficulties NATO faces in attempting to take out Bosnian Serb positions scattered in the mountains around Sarajevo. Homes sit close by the front lines. Women and children pulling sleds or horses laden with relief supplies trudge along the edge of the road, while civilian vehicles intermingle with those of the Bosnian Serb military.
``It is impossible to hit military targets and not get civilians as well,'' says Darko Zdavle, who mans a heavy machine-gun post less than two miles from his family's home.
``If they kill civilians like my mother and sisters, the UN would be our enemy and I would have to kill them,'' he says.
A scant 150 yards beneath Zdavle's emplacement, a white stone wall spanning a tree-lined hillock marks the outermost Bosnian Army defense lines.
``If NATO attacks,'' says one soldier, ``we will move closer to the city to be nearer the Muslims. If we are only 30 meters [33 yards] away, even if you threw a bomb at us with your hands, you might still hit the other side.''
In various locations along the Bosnian Serb lines, empty revetments plowed like open wounds into the red earth testify to the withdrawal to concealed locations of artillery and tanks that normally sit in them.
``Let them try to find us in the hills, in the crevices, in the caves,'' challenges Zarko Lubara, a former waiter who fled Sarajevo at the beginning of the war.
``Clinton knows we have our own aviation and a strong antiaircraft defense that they can't see,'' he says. ``But, when the moment comes, the mountain will open, and it will strike.'' | <urn:uuid:247540b5-079f-4419-aa02-e5e6be508f74> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.csmonitor.com/1994/0211/11012.html | 2023-09-28T18:54:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.955191 | 1,579 |
Ratio of Debt-to-Income
Lenders use a ratio called "debt to income" to decide your maximum monthly payment after you've paid your other recurring loans.
About the qualifying ratio
In general, underwriting for conventional loans requires a qualifying ratio of 28/36. An FHA loan will usually allow for a higher debt load, reflected in a higher (29/41) ratio.
The first number is how much (by percent) of your gross monthly income that can be spent on housing costs. This ratio is figured on your total payment, including homeowners' insurance, HOA dues, PMI - everything that makes up the payment.
The second number is the maximum percentage of your gross monthly income that can be spent on housing expenses and recurring debt together. Recurring debt includes things like auto payments, child support and credit card payments.
- Gross monthly income of $2,700 x .28 = $756 can be applied to housing
- Gross monthly income of $2,700 x .36 = $972 can be applied to recurring debt plus housing expenses
With a 29/41 (FHA) qualifying ratio
- Gross monthly income of $2,700 x .29 = $783 can be applied to housing
- Gross monthly income of $2,700 x .41 = $1,107 can be applied to recurring debt plus housing expenses

LCV Scorecard gives Clyburn high marks for 2018
League of Conservation Voters released the South Carolina delegation’s scores on its 2018 National Environmental Scorecard, and Representative Jim Clyburn’s name sits atop the state’s list. The Scorecard is the primary yardstick for evaluating the environmental records of every member of Congress and is available online at scorecard.lcv.org.
Clyburn came in with an impressive 94 percent score. His only votes against what LCV considered for the scorecard were both regarding nuclear waste storage, a hot-button item for South Carolina. The entire SC delegation voted the same way on those measures. But Congressman Clyburn voted for conservation-favorable measures in all other graded votes, differentiating himself from the rest of our federal legislators.
“We would like to see our U.S. Congressional leaders make different decisions when it comes to protecting the land, air, and water that South Carolina communities depend on,” said John Tynan, Executive Director of Conservation Voters of South Carolina. “We applaud Representative Jim Clyburn for his leadership. But with a national scorecard average score of around 50 percent, it’s troubling to see both our U.S. Senators and Representatives well below average –several with an incredible score of zero. When it comes to protecting our natural resources, we can do better.”
The 2018 Scorecard measures votes cast during the second session of the 115th Congress. In South Carolina, only one House members and no Senators earned a score of 80 percent or greater, while 5 House members and both Senators earned a score of 10 percent or less.
Here’s a quick rundown of how everyone scored:
Senator Tim Scott –7 percent
Senator Lindsey Graham –7 percent
Representative Jim Clyburn –94 percent
Representative Mark Sanford –40 percent
Representative Joe Wilson –3 percent
Representative Trey Gowdy –3 percent
Representative Jeff Duncan –0 percent
Representative Tom Rice –0 percent
Representative Ralph Norman –0 percent
The 2018 Scorecard includes 35 House votes that span the chamber’s assaults on clean air and water, lands and wildlife protections, investments in clean energy and more. In the Senate, the majority of the 14 votes scored are confirmation votes on anti-environmental nominees.
LCV has published a National Environmental Scorecard every Congress since 1970. The Scorecard represents the consensus of experts from about 20 respected environmental and conservation organizations who selected the key votes on which members of Congress should be scored. LCV scores votes on the most important issues of the Year, including energy, climate change, public health, public lands and wildlife conservation, and spending for environmental programs. The votes included in the Scorecard presented members of Congress with a real choice and help distinguish which legislators are working for environmental protection. More information on individual votes and the Scorecard archive can be found at scorecard.lcv.org. | <urn:uuid:a58755be-78f5-42e4-8f34-35853a4542dc> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.cvsc.org/lcv-scorecard-2018/ | 2023-09-28T18:12:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.924605 | 609 |

San Antonio The KSAT Team is working to shine on local educators, and this month, KSAT and Firstmark Credit Union honored Jefferson High School CTE teacher Todd Owens as KSAT Teacher of the Month.
Aside from teaching criminal justice at Jefferson High School, Mr. Owens’ students tell KSAT that he is a role model, motivator, and always there for them.
“He’s like my dad is our teacher,” said Eliana Contreras, a student at Jefferson High School. “And it shows every single day how much he cares for all of us and how much he loves us, no matter what we’re going through, we can always talk to him and he’s like a shoulder to cry on for all of us. And he’s always there for us and motivates us.”
Owens said his students are a priority.
“My students will tell you that I care about them first and foremost,” Owens said. “(I care about) their well-being, health, mental and physical (health). Relationships are all I care about.”
Mr. Owens’ students say they are proud to see their teacher recognized as Teacher of the Month at KSAT.
“He was really here for us,” said Michael Guzman, a student at Jefferson High School. “And he did so much for this class and so much for everyone, his students. He was really a huge motivator for me and a senior who loves to look at him.”
Despite Owens’ success in the field of education, that wasn’t always the plan.
Owens worked in the United States Border Patrol for three years, but got into an accident and ended up being medically retired.
“I always knew I wanted to be a teacher,” Owens said. “I thought it would be later in life, you know, 40, 50, somewhere along that line, but you know,[there’s]another plan. So, I think it was all intentional because I wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s been very rewarding.” very very “.
Students also tell us that they look forward to Mr. Owens’ class because he makes it fun and interesting.
“This is the class I really enjoy coming to every day,” said Contreras.
“Thanks to Mrs. Parker, she always gives me some great equipment to use in such criminal investigations, like the blood splatters from the investigative tools,” Owens said. “And so, we can use different things to bring the real world into the classroom.”

Iran Denies Agreement on Military Site Inspections (AFP)
Iranian negotiator Abbas Araghchi on Sunday denied reports that Iran had accepted military site inspections as part of a nuclear deal with world powers.
Araghchi said that both he and Foreign Minister Zarif reiterated their "objection to inspections or visits to any military centers."

- U.S. Blocks Move Targeting Israel at Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Conference - Barak Ravid
The U.S. blocked the issuing of a concluding statement for the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty Review Conference that closed Friday night in New York, following objections voiced by Israel. The statement was expected to task the UN secretary general with convening an international conference on making the Middle East a nuclear weapons-free zone by March 2016. Israel objected to the deadline. Israel also holds that such a conference should deal with all regional security problems, including missiles and terrorism, rather than the nuclear issue alone.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Saturday, thanking the U.S. for blocking a decision on convening an international conference on making the Middle East a nuclear weapons-free zone by March 2016. According to a senior Israeli official, Netanyahu told Kerry that the U.S. met the commitment it made to Israel in 2010 with regard to the nuclear issue.

The next Review Conference will be convened in 2020.

- Indyk: Abbas Is Uninterested in Negotiations - Herb Keinon
Former U.S. envoy Martin Indyk - special envoy during the 10 months of Israeli-Palestinian talks led by Secretary of State John Kerry in 2013-2014 -
said last week that PA leader Mahmoud Abbas is uninterested in negotiations.
He told a Council on Foreign Relations panel discussion in New York, "What we discovered during the 10 months of the negotiations is that the parties really didn't want to be there, and were further away at the end of the negotiations than at the beginning."
Indyk said that Abbas - having not held an election since 2005 - very strongly feels a lack of legitimacy, and that he does not have a mandate from the Palestinian people for the compromises that would be involved in any negotiated deal. "So he is paralyzed by that."
This being the case, the internationalization of the conflict suits Abbas just fine. Rather than talks, which would at some point necessitate compromise, he prefers to isolate Israel, go to the international organizations and let them do the work. (Jerusalem Post)
- BDS' Useless Politics of Confrontation - David Makovsky and Raquel Saxe
37 U.S. universities, including elite schools, had BDS campaigns this academic year - more than the previous two years combined. According to Gallup, Americans older than 65 support Israel's actions by a margin of 24 points, but those younger than 30 oppose these actions by 26 points. Additionally, while white Americans backed last summer's Gaza war by 16 points, non-whites opposed it by 24 points. The driving force for BDS on campus, Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), has actively sought to attract minority students.
Israel's critics fail to notice that minorities in Israel fare far better than in other Middle East countries. Indeed, context is relevant. The president of Harvard, Lawrence Summers, said: "We live in a world where there are nations in which the penalty for homosexuality is death…in which governments are killing tens of thousands of their own people each year. But the proponents of Israeli [BDS] do not favor any form of pressure against countries other than Israel."

- Iran's Pretense of Moderation Should Not Fool the West - Michael Danby
It is wrong to think a conciliatory shift in policy by the West would bring a corresponding softening of Iranian positions. Iran has shown repeatedly that it will pursue its perceived interests regardless of the consequences.
Iran's principal aims are to undermine the Middle East's U.S.-backed Sunni-led status quo and to replace the U.S. as the regional hegemonic power. Tehran also persists with the apparently unchanged ideology of its Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, to destroy Israel. These Iranian policies contradict the notion that because Iran has allegedly moderated, Australia can join the cozying up to Iran.

Obama: Debate on Iran Deal Is "Healthy" (White House)
President Obama spoke at Adas Israel Congregation in Washington on Friday in honor of Jewish American Heritage month:
- "Iran must not, under any circumstances, be allowed to get a nuclear weapon. Now, there's a debate about how to achieve that - and that's a healthy debate....I want a good deal."
- "I'm interested in a deal that blocks every single one of Iran's pathways to a nuclear weapon - every single path. A deal that imposes unprecedented inspections on all elements of Iran's nuclear program, so that they can't cheat; and if they try to cheat, we will immediately know about it and sanctions snap back on. A deal that endures beyond a decade; that addresses this challenge for the long term. In other words, a deal that makes the world and the region - including Israel - more secure. That's how I define a good deal."
- "Moreover, even if we do get a good deal, there remains the broader issue of Iran's support for terrorism and regional destabilization, and ugly threats against Israel."
- "There will be disagreements [between the U.S. and Israel] on tactics when it comes to how to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, and that is entirely appropriate and should be fully aired. Because the stakes are sufficiently high that anything that's proposed has to be subjected to scrutiny - and I welcome that scrutiny."
- "What I think will lead to long-term security and to the preservation of a true democracy in the Jewish homeland...is two states for two peoples, Israel and Palestine, living side by side in peace and security."
- "The Palestinians are not the easiest of partners. The neighborhood is dangerous. And we cannot expect Israel to take existential risks with their security so that any deal that takes place has to take into account the genuine dangers of terrorism and hostility."

UPDATE ON HOPI KATSINAM: AUCTION PROCEEDS OVER TRIBE'S OBJECTIONS
Every day is a new day and with that, a new opportunity.
EVERYONE is welcome and please join us each morning at 7:30 AM PACIFIC
to tell us what you're working on, share your show & tell, vent, whatever you want...
...this is an open thread. Nothing is off topic.
After a French court refused last Thursday to halt it, auction house Neret-Minet proceeded last Friday with its planned sale of sacred objects, including 70 katsina (kachina) masks, netting US $1.2 million (€931,000).
A great deal of the reporting on the complex relationship between the Hopi people and the masks is inaccurate or misleading. There is much that I don't know, because I am not entitled to know, and rather than misstate Hopi beliefs, or similarly arrogate to myself something that isn't mine to discuss, I'm not going to try to explain the relationships and definitions in any detail. Suffice to say that some refer to the masks, and to the spirits they represent, as "Friends," and that they are not merely sacred, but an integral part of Hopi culture and life. There is also no question in my mind that they are stolen property. The items reportedly date to the late 19th and early 20th Centuries, and are thought to have been stolen from Hopi (along with objects from the Navajo Nation and Zuni and Jemez Pueblos, at a minimum), in the 1930s and 1940s. It is simply not believable that these pieces were given, willingly or otherwise, to a white outsider, for any purpose.
USA Today's reporting describes the auction as "chaotic," with protestors both inside and outside the auction house. One French filmmaker in attendance shouted that the auction, and the way it was conducted, was "shameful" and a "scandal" — and was promptly escorted out. One nonprofit group bid successfully on one item, and announced its intent to repatriate the object to Hopi. As far as is currently known, everything else is now in the hands of private collectors, some of whom are reveling in their acquisition of stolen property by making appallingly racist public statements:
Monroe Warshaw, an art collector from New York, who bought two masks for around 28,000 euros ($36,500) euros, said he didn't believe the masks had been stolen from the Hopis and that the person who acquired them should be thanked, not criticized, for preserving them.
"How did they steal them? Did some antique dealer go into their house at night and steal them?" he said, as the auction was still in progress.
He added that he will "probably not" ever give them back to the Hopis as "they didn't care for them in the first place — now they want them because they have a value."
Nice racism there, Warshaw. I suspect you'll find that your stolen property doesn't bring you nearly as much satisfaction as you think it will.
One other point about the coverage: As usual, it gets the most basic stuff wrong. I'll give one example. Media outlets are reporting that "the most expensive [item was] the 'Mother Crow' mask, selling for 160,000 euros ($209,000) — more than three times the pre-sale estimate."
Which gets the name exactly backward. She is Crow Mother, not "Mother Crow." (She also has a Hopi name, rendered into Arabic letters, but I'm not sure that it's my place to post it here.) There are photos of the masks from the auction itself; I will not reproduce them here, because the thought of displaying photographs of these particular sacred objects makes me uncomfortable in the extreme. It is not my place to do it (nor is it anyone else's who is not Hopi). So I'm using a photo of a katsina reproduction by a Hopi/Laguna carver whose work we sell. This katsina figure sold long ago; the image is for informational purposes only, to give you an idea of what a traditional Crow Mother mask would look like. She's powerfully beautiful.
HISTORY: DAKOTA PRISONER OF WAR LETTERS TRANSLATED,
COMPILED INTO NEW BOOK
Dr. Clifford Canku (Sisseton Wahpeton Dakota), an expert in his people's language, has worked with colleague Michael Simon to translate letters written by Dakota warriors who were held as prisoners of war during the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862.
After the federal government lynched 38 Dakota men at Mankato, Minnesota, some 270 Indians were forcibly marched to Iowa and held as POWs by the U.S. Army, where many starved and/or froze to death. Between them the prisoners wrote more than 100 letters, all in their native language, to family members back home. Dr. Canku has been working for years to produce accurate translations, and now, 50 of those letters have been compiled into a new book, The Dakota Prisoner of War Letters.
Dr. Canku, whose academic specialty is his traditional language (and which he teaches at North Dakota State University), has said that the book is intended for both Indians and non-Indians:
"Get back to telling our side of the story, two sides. One is the colonizer stories and those have been colonized. Our resources have been stolen."
With this book, some of those resources — and an invaluable perspective and collection of stories — have been reclaimed for their rightful stewards.
For more information on the lynchings at Mankato, see an important memorial diary by Meteor Blades here.
"I KNOW MORE ABOUT BEING WHITE THAN YOU KNOW ABOUT BEING INDIAN": SHERMAN ALEXIE ON BILL MOYERS
Native writer Sherman Alexie (Coeur d'Alene/Colville/Spokan) appeared on this past weekend's episode of Moyers and Company.
In the interview, Mr. Alexie describes the difficulties Indians face on a daily basis, constantly being forced to walk in two worlds. Topics range from historical influences to contemporary issues, including the battle to eliminate racist mascots and the fact that much of the dominant culture now identifies Indians only with alcoholism and casinos:
"At least half the country thinks the mascot issue is insignificant. But I think it’s indicative of the ways in which Indians have no cultural power. We’re still placed in the past. So we’re either in the past or we’re only viewed through casinos," Alexie tells Bill. "I know a lot more about being white than you know about being Indian."
That lack of power and presence in the dominant culture is a running theme throughout the interview, and, indeed, throughout Mr. Alexie's significant literary ouevre. His own Web site gives a sardonic nod to that experience: It's called fallsapart.com.
Sherman Alexie has been writing professionally his entire adult life. He began as a poet, prompted by a creative writing class at Washington State University. His professor, Chinese-American author Alex Kuo, gave him an anthology of stories by Native author Joseph Bruchac, a book Alexie credits with changing his life by showing him that there were other Native authors out there writing about their own stories. In 1992, he published his first poetry collection, The Business of Fancydancing: Stories and Poems. He then left college three credits shy of graduation to pursue his writing career, and within the first year thereafter, he was awarded both the Washington State Arts Commission Poetry Fellowship and the National Endowment for the Arts Poetry Fellowship. His first work of prose was the now-famous collection of short stories, The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven, in 1993; he followed up three years later with his first novel, Reservation Blues. Since then, he has turned out a wide array of writing in numerous forms, but he may be best known for writing the screenplay for, and bringing to the big screen, the first movie comprising an all-Indian cast: Smoke Signals. He has won numerous awards and honors for his work, and finds time to give back by encouraging the writing and filmmaking talents of other young Indians, as well as by supporting programs for at-risk Native youth. His latest book is another anthology of short stories, Blasphemy.
Tomorrow, Mr. Alexie will again join Moyers and Company — this time online at 1:00 PM EDT for a live chat. Viewers and readers can submit questions here.

In a remote area north of Blythe, California, are ancient petroglyphs, thousands of years old. A BLM archaeologist has reported that some of the glyphs have been vandalized, perhaps beyond repair, by spray-painted graffiti.
And it wasn't even, you know, like, real graffiti:
"There's a unicorn, a horse figure, the number 625, the name Sosa, a number of smiley faces and what appeared to be marijuana leafs [sic]," said archaeologist Thomas Jones.
. . .
"It was just devastating to see the kind of damage that occurred. When the paint gets into the cracks of these petroglyphs, it's very challenging to remove, it's very difficult and even destructive," said Jones.
Seriously? A unicorn and pot leaves?
Officials are offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to arrest of the person or persons responsible. Meanwhile, efforts to rehabilitate the images will likely run into the thousands of dollars, and officials warn that some of the glyphs may be damaged beyond repair.
LAKOTA SPRING: PUBLIC HEARINGS ON SOUTH DAKOTA ICWA SCANDAL
They call it the Lakota Spring: Members of the Standing Rock Sioux Nation are partnering with the Lakota Peoples Law Project [LPLP] to engage in a massive, far-reaching organizing effort to recover their children, stolen from their families in violation of the Indian Child Welfare Act [ICWA]. The LPLP and Bureau of Indian Affairs [BIA] officials are scheduled to co-host a three-day summit, May 15-17, on the current state of Native foster care and ICWA violations affecting Lakota children. To prepare for the summit, tribal officials are convening two public hearings: the first on April 20, from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM, at the Grand River Casino in Mobridge, S.D.; the second on April 28th, from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM, at the Prairie Nights Casino in Fort Yates, N.D. The purpose of the hearings is two-fold:
At these hearings Lakota relatives who have lost children to the foster care system will be invited to speak, on camera, about their experiences with the Department of Social Services. . . . The Standing Rock tribal government is making a substantial investment to explore having its own family welfare system and to secure long term direct federal funding to support it.
In addition, the "LPLP is also circulating an online petition to encourage members of Congress to attend the May summit."
The push for the summit with the BIA comes out of a report that Lakota tribal officials recently submitted to Congress, highlighting the serial violations of the ICWA that are routine in South Dakota. The report, combined with previous efforts on the part of the tribes and the LPLP, demonstrated a deliberate pattern of stealing Lakota children from extended families perfectly able, willing, and qualified to care for them, and illegally placing them with white families — in part, for "perverse financial incentives." The result was a hellish record of physical, psychological, and even sexual abuse (including rape) for many Indian children, and State officials subsequently prosecuted two of their own child welfare officials for blowing the whistle on these crimes.
For historical background, see Denise Oliver Velez's front-page piece from yesterday on "Stolen Generations," and Meteor Blades's diary on the long-term effects of stealing children from their families (some of whom are Kossacks today). For greater background about the current "removals" going on among the Lakota, read the LPLP's diaries on the cover-up of rape and other abuse of Indian children in the South Dakota foster care system, and on NPR's coverage of the report to Congress. See also my own diary on the racism and "perverse financial incentives" that keep the illegal practice of Indian child removal going strong.
If you live in the area of either hearing, you can help in two ways: First, if you know of Native families who may be affected by these issues, please help spread the word. Second, contact your elected representatives, and encourage them to support the efforts of the Standing Rock members (and those of other affected Lakota nations) to recover their stolen children and enforce compliance with the ICWA.
WALKED ON: THE FIREBIRD, MARIA TALLCHIEF
When I was a little girl, one of the many things I wanted to be when I grew up was a ballerina. So did a lot of the other little girls I knew. But in my case, I didn't want to be just a ballerina; I wanted to be one specific ballerina. I wanted to be the next Maria Tallchief. I loved everything about her — her stunning beauty, her almost liquid grace, her powerful-sounding name, her insistence on maintaining her identity. And I loved the hope she represented: that, at a time when Indians were invisible to the larger world except as Hollywood Western stereotypes, a little Indian girl maybe, just maybe, could grow up to be anything she wanted.
Born in Fairfax, Oklahoma, on January 24, 1925, to an Osage father and a Scots-Irish mother, Elizabeth Marie Tall Chief was already dancing by age three. She began dancing professionally in 1942, when she joined the Ballet Russe dance company. At that time, Americans regarded Russians as the only dancers capable of "true" ballet, and so dancers of all nationalities took "Russian" names in an attempt to seem more "authentic." The year she joined, Ballet Russe officials asked Ms. Tallchief to change her name from Marie Tall Chief to Maria Tallchieva. Determined to maintain her Osage identity, the 17-year-old refused, although she did consent to altering her name to Maria and to merging her two-word surname into one word.
Ms. Tallchief broke barriers throughout her career. She was the first Native prima ballerina, and in 1944, began working with famed Russian choreographer George Balanchine. Obituaries widely refer to her as his "muse," and in 1946, she also became his wife. That same year, he cast her in his production with the Paris Opera Ballet, making her not only the first Indian, but the first American, ever to perform with the dance company. In 1947, when her contract with Ballet Russe expired, she followed Balanchine to New York to become one of the founding dancers of the New York City Ballet Company. Her talent and presence were such that she made the Firebird, the Swan Queen, and the Sugarplum Fairy her own, creating archetypes for future generations of aspiring dancers. She continued to dance with the New York City Ballet until her retirement in 1966.
Her marriage to Balanchine had long since ended, as had her second marriage to an aviator. In 1956, she was married for the final time, to Henry "Buzz" Paschen, Jr., with whom she had a stepdaughter and a biological daughter. After retiring from dancing, she moved to Chicago, where she continued to break barriers. She founded the ballet company at the Lyric Opera of Chicago in the 1970s; in 1981, she and her younger sister, Marjorie Tallchief, co-founded the Chicago City Ballet.
Through it all, she never abandoned her identity. Her obituary in the Chicago Sun-Times is accompanied by a slideshow of photos from various stages of her life; among them is a 1997 photo, taken in her home in Chicago, of her standing next to a framed, very old black and white photograph of her great-grandfather, Big Heart. Today, there are statues in her honor in Oklahoma, and the Osage Nation gave her a traditional name, Wa-Xthe-Thomba, which reportedly translates into English as "Woman of Two Standards." To generations of little Indian girls around the country, perhaps the most significant standard she carried was the one labeled "hope."
Normally, I would say that, on April 11th, 2013, Maria Tallchief walked on. But in this case, I don't think it's really accurate. I think that, four days ago, the Firebird stood en pointe one last time, and then took flight.

While Turkey is experiencing unique hardships over the coronavirus pandemic, African students who came to Turkey to study at universities find themselves sharing daily life with locals during the lockdown.
The novel coronavirus, which emerged in Wuhan, China in late 2019, with the first case confirmed in Turkey on March 11, has prompted preventive measures worldwide in efforts to stem the spread of the disease, including lockdowns, the closure of educational institutions, the banning of public gatherings and the halting of international flights.
With classes suspended since March 12, 19-year-old Coulibaly al-Hussein from the Ivory Coast, who studies at Giresun University in northeastern Turkey, says he spends most of his time at home but follows the rules set by the authorities whenever he ventures out.
"I respect the distance of 1 meter with other people and always go out with protection – a mask and gloves,” he told Anadolu Agency (AA).
"Our embassy advised us to follow the rules in the country where we are and to respect the rules of hygiene despite the confinement,” he added, ruling out any plans by himself or his embassy for repatriation as he has not contacted them since the pandemic was confirmed in Turkey.
"Since the beginning of this pandemic, I haven't contacted the embassy of my county and it hasn't contacted me,” al-Hussein said.
"I think the measures taken by the Turkish government are really good and they have allowed a large number of people to be protected and have also contributed to a less aggressive spread of the virus in Turkey, contrary to what we observe in other countries," he said.
Moustapha Aliou, 23, a Cameroonian who studies industrial engineering at Istanbul Şehir University, says he spends his days during the lockdown reading books and taking online courses.
"I am not going out and maintain my hygiene well,” he said regarding precautions he takes against the virus.
Another Cameroonian, 30-year-old Gassim Ibrahim, who studies history at Fatih Sultan Mehmet Vakıf University in Istanbul, decided to use his time during the lockdown to engage in research and writing.
"I’m spending my days at home. I keep doing research by reading and writing. I am using my electronic resources and some books that I had already bought. I usually watch the news and films at the night,” he said.
"I don’t do anything extra than respecting the measures planned by the government: staying home, going out only for emergency situations and never forgetting to wear a mask and always keeping a distance between myself and others.”
Gassim said the current measures in Turkey against COVID-19 are "enough if they are properly applied.” | <urn:uuid:143a46f7-cc33-4d69-ae5b-818485708552> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.dailysabah.com/turkey/african-students-describe-life-under-lockdown-in-turkey/news | 2023-09-28T17:25:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.977048 | 581 |
Runfy (RUNF) Reigns Over (AVAX), And Chiliz (CHZ) In Unique Features With Its Ecosystem Keeping Users Fit And Healthy
Projects in the crypto space have always been after solving problems and being unique in how they offer solutions. It’s seen in the features of platforms like Avalanche (AVAX) and Chiliz (CHZ). However, there’s no project fully dedicated to improving the health and fitness of crypto users, and Runfy (RUNF) is filling that void.
In recent years, fitness has become a recurring topic in the health space, with a good percentage of the population working from home. Since the popularity of blockchain crypto technology a few years back, individuals have realized they don’t have to move an inch from their rooms to make money. There are now gaming platforms where you can sign up to play and earn money.
However, the lack of physical activity is taking its toll greatly on people’s health, with reports saying several people gained more than 10kg during the covid lockdown. Being overweight or obese causes problems for the heart and potentially reduces one’s lifespan. Only through diet and proper workout can one solve these problems, and staying motivated through it can be tasking.
As a result, Runfy (RUNF) is here to motivate individuals through its “ger rewards for keeping fit” agenda. Members of the platform will be paid in RUNF tokens for meeting their fitness goals and following instructions and guidelines laid on the app platform. The platform does not only reward its users whose goal is to keep fit; it also rewards fitness trainers who prepare exercise programs and diets for Runfy members.
Runfy (RUNF) – The Platform As Unique As Avalanche (AVAX) And Chiliz (CHZ)
Chiliz (CHZ) is the platform for sports and entertainment where users can experience the power of blockchain and cryptocurrencies in supporting their favorite clubs and attending events. The Chiliz (CHZ) ecosystem has partnered with big sports guns like FC Barcelona, Juventus, E-sports clubs, UFC, and others to make club merchandise and tickets easily accessible to fans. It’ll be the first of its kind run this initiative.
Avalanche (AVAX), on the other hand, is the crypto platform that seeks to solve the problems battling decentralization, scalability, and security within blockchain networks. The project has recorded progress so much that its token, AVAX, is one of the higher-ranking coins in the cryptocurrency market. Furthermore, Avalanche is rumored to be one of the succeeding “Ethereum Killers” in the market.
The uniqueness of Avalanche (AVAX) and Chiliz (CHZ) make them highly valuable, and the Runfy project will just be as valuable. Runfy (RUNF) is changing the lives of its members one step at a time and providing all the right motivation to do so.
In addition to the benefits users get on using the platform, they stand the chance of getting more tokens on joining stages in the presale or purchasing RUNF repeatedly. For instance, if you participate in the first stage of the RUNF token presale, you get 7% more token, the second stage gets you 5% more tokens, and the third stage get you 3% more tokens. If you’re making additional purchases the second, third, and fourth times, you get 50%, 75%, and 100% more tokens.
RunfTR and RunfShop
Runfy will also evolve with the web as it owns two universes in the metaverse: the RunfTR (Runfy Trainers) and RunfShop (Runfy Shopping). The Runfy Trainers universe is for fitness trainers, dieticians, and consultants. These professionals will get service fees with RUNF tokens in exchange for exercise programs, personalized diets, and healthy lifestyle suggestions.
The RunfShop is the universe to purchase your training equipment, gym wears, protein powders, and gym-related products with RUNF tokens. You can also sell your gym equipment and related products in the universe.
Runfy is the first and unique platform to have all its features dedicated to fitness and motivating its users to get fit and stay healthy. The change starts today as you purchase RUNF tokens. | <urn:uuid:278e0bb7-c84c-4ae5-ae03-e397316ef800> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.dailytokenews.com/runfy-runf-reigns-over-avax-and-chiliz-chz-in-unique-features-with-its-ecosystem-keeping-users-fit-and-healthy/ | 2023-09-28T18:53:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.934698 | 960 |

We have been working on our house for what seems like forever now. While it has only been 9 months, for some reason it really seems much longer. We have ALMOST finished phase one which was converting the back house into a garage, fencing in the back, laying concrete, landscaping the front, gutting the master bathroom, re-doing the downstairs powder bathroom and of course decorating and furnishing the house. We still lack little things like drapes, a piece of art for above the fireplace in the formal living room, a lamp here and there but nothing too big well, besides the kitchen.
Currently we are trying to get all of the punch list items completed by our current contractor and CLOSE that door with him so we can move onto conquering the kitchen. Honestly, I am so thankful that we did not do all three
To me, the bedding in your bedrooms (especially the master), is one of the most important things. In my opinion it can really make or break a room. Not only can the look set the mood or tone of the room but the feel of the linens is just as important.
I love nothing more than spending time in our bed, especially in the mornings. One of the things that my husband and I do just about every single morning is have our morning coffee together and often breakfast in bed. No, not every morning breakfast in bed is served on a tray, majority of the time it is something as simple as a bowl of cereal and a cup of coffee. Regardless of what we are ‘pairing with our

St Eunan’s get second win in MacRoryNovember 21, 2018
Danske Bank MacRory Cup
Wednesday 21st, 12pm in Drumragh : St Eunan’s Letterkenny 2-11 St Paul’s Bessbrook 0-6
IN THIS their return to the Danske Bank MacRory Cup under former Donegal All-star forward Colm McFadden, St Eunan’s Letterkenny have booked themselves into the knock-out stages of the competition after Christmas.
Whatever the outcome of tomorrow’s (FRIDAY) final group game between St Patrick’s Armagh and Patrician Carrickmacross, St Eunan’s are through to the knock-out stages and will even make the quarter-finals if Patrician win by between eight and 12 points.
Yesterday in Drumragh the Donegal boys had the measure of St Paul’s Bessbrook and were in control of the game after Ronan Frain started and finished a move from his own half-back line with a 16th minute goal.
St Eunan’s went on to lead by 1-4 to 0-3 at the break and 14 minutes into the second half killed off the game with a second goal, a solo effort from Frain this time, cutting in from the left wing and firing in an excellent shot that just dipped under the Bessbrook crossbar.
St Paul’s had little to cheer about on a bitterly cold afternoon with only Luke Mallon lifting the gloom, while Colm McFadden will be more than happy with the progress of his squad.
St Eunan’s : Ronan Frain 2-0, Padraig McGettigan 0-3, Shane O’Donnell 0-3, Conor O’Donnell 0-1, Eoin Dowling 0-1, Caolan Dunleavey 0-1, Oran Winston 0-1, Kieran Kilfeddar 0-1
St Paul’s : Odhran Kieran 0-2, Oisin King 0-1, Ryan Hughes 0-1, Eoghan Woods 0-1, Ryan Connolly 0-1 | <urn:uuid:01c0b120-cdc5-4705-8898-c7aa4b82e755> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.danskebankulsterschoolsgaa.com/st-eunans-get-second-win-in-macrory/ | 2023-09-28T17:05:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.926738 | 471 |

Today’s demanding applications, especially within virtualized environments, require high performance from storage to keep up with the rate of data acquisition and unpredictable demands of enterprise workloads. In a world that requires near instant response times and increasingly faster access to data, the needs of business-critical tier 1 enterprise applications, such as databases including SQL, Oracle and SAP, have been largely unmet.
The major bottleneck holding back the industry is I/O performance. This is because current systems still rely on device -level optimizations tied to specific disk and flash technologies since they don’t have software optimizations that can fully harness the latest advances in more powerful server system technologies such as multicore architectures. Therefore, they have not been able to keep up with the pace of Moore’s Law. | <urn:uuid:27fab76e-4d5b-4ae4-8eb4-a7ab2d2bbd4c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.datacore.com/document/why-parallel-io-moores-law-enable-virtualization-software-defined-data-centers-achieve-potential/ | 2023-09-28T18:38:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.935526 | 159 |
Not everyone thinks of citrus fruits as “winter fruits.” But that’s when oranges, grapefruits, tangerines, tangy lemons, and enticing limes are often at their peak. And that’s a good thing because there’s nothing that brightens up any season – but especially winter – better than a classic French lemon tart.
Any bakery in Paris will have a Tarte au citron on offer. Some are on the sweet side, others tart. I like my lemon tart, well…tart, for sure and when I search for lemons at my market, I choose the plumpest, juiciest ones I can find. Fortunately, good lemons are available just about anywhere, so anyone can make this tart. Most of us don’t even have to wait until winter!
I juiced my lemons, cracked some eggs, and got to work on the tart.
For the base, I used Paule’s pastry dough, which is so easy to make and hasn’t failed me yet. It’s delicious and buttery, and goes particularly well with the delicious lemon topping.
I cooked the filling, a sunny, luscious lemon curd, on the stovetop with the fragrant zest of the lemons, then poured the warm filling through a strainer to make it as smooth as possible.
One could pipe whipped cream on it or top it with meringue. To do so, let it cool and spread or pipe whipped cream over the top or serve a dollop alongside. If you want to give a go at meringue, check out my Lime Meringue Tart recipe or the marshmallow topping that I use on my Pumpkin Pie with Marshmallow Topping.
Both are delicious, but just as it is – or as the French say, nature – is just fine with me.
- 1 cup (250ml) freshly-squeezed lemon juice
- grated zest of two lemons, preferably unsprayed
- 3/4 cup (150g) sugar
- 12 tablespoons (170g) butter, salted or unsalted, cut into cubes
- 4 large eggs
- 4 large egg yolks
- One pre-baked 9-inch (23cm) tart shell
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC).
- In a medium-sized non-reactive saucepan, heat the lemon juice, zest, sugar, butter, eggs and egg yolks. Have a mesh strainer nearby.
- Stir until the butter is melted, then whisk the mixture continuously until the mixture thickens and holds its shape when you lift some of it up with the whisk and it visibly mounds up when dropped back down over the rest of the mixture in the saucepan. It should just take a few minute.
- Pour the warm lemon curd though a strainer into a bowl (or directly into the tart shell), scraping with a rubber spatula to press it through.
- Smooth the lemon filling in the prebaked tart shell and pop it in the oven until the curd is just set. It’ll take about 5 to 6 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool before slicing and serving. | <urn:uuid:f2540eb3-cc37-480f-9f0c-a72054ef70ad> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.davidlebovitz.com/tart-au-citron-french-lemon-tart/ | 2023-09-28T19:07:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.91371 | 694 |
If you or a loved one suffers a serious injury in a California auto accident, you can file an insurance claim to recover the costs of your medical bills, lost wages and certain other losses associated with the accident. Depending on who caused the accident, the claim will either go through your own auto policy or another driver’s policy.
Unfortunately, insurance companies may deny your claim or offer a settlement for much less than your actual costs. Explore the common reasons for personal injury claim denial and the legal recourse you can take.
Lack of liability
An insurer may argue that the policyholder did not cause the accident or that his or her policy does not cover the specific injuries and damages. You will need evidence of fault, such as a police report or eyewitness accounts, to prove your case. California has a comparative negligence law, which means that if you share fault in this type of accident, you will receive a settlement reduced by your fault percentage. The insurer cannot deny your claim if you are less than 50% at fault for the accident.
Lack of coverage
If the policyholder did not pay his or her auto insurance premium, the policy will lapse. If this has occurred, the insurer may argue that the person did not have auto insurance coverage at the time of the accident. In this case, you can seek coverage through your own policy’s underinsured or uninsured motorist provisions. If you do not have this type of coverage, you can sue the other driver for your monetary damages.
When an insurance company acts in bad faith, you can sue for legal damages. Bad faith actions may include giving a low settlement amount without providing a reason, failing to respond to your communication attempts, lying about your claim or withholding evidence that could affect your settlement. | <urn:uuid:4e662265-ae02-4d70-829a-22269db08bfe> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.davislawapc.com/blog/2019/10/common-reasons-for-insurance-claim-denial/ | 2023-09-28T17:01:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.952292 | 357 |

After the Election
Nov. 9, 2016
Dear Students, Faculty, Classified Professionals and Administrators,
I know that all of us are still processing what happened last night in the national election, and the next few days are likely to be filled with high emotion and, for many, anxiety. I am writing to affirm that the college is a place where we can hold deep divisions in opinion, but treat each other with respect and affection. I trust that our post-election conversations--in and out of the classroom--will demonstrate our capacity to listen to each other and respect the diversity of opinions and emotions we have.
Moreover, nothing in the national election changes anything regarding De Anza College's commitment to the principles of inclusion and equity, or our commitment to offer support to all members of our community. With all the talk of deportation and the banning of specific religions, we need to remind ourselves that election rhetoric is a long way from actual policy, and that we hold all members of our community--with or without documentation, regardless of immigration status or religious affiliation--as full and protected members. We have no intention of ever abandoning these commitments, and we will provide sanctuary to all students regardless of rhetoric.
In a speech, Martin Luther King Jr. said that the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. We have a country deeply divided on how to get there, but let's keep each other in safety and respect as we work together here. | <urn:uuid:cd0f334e-aa4e-497a-a249-3256421e9688> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.deanza.edu/president/murphy/message161109.html | 2023-09-28T17:45:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.939583 | 307 |
As far as progressive death metal is concerned, Burial in the Sky may well be known as the genre’s leaders after they release Creatio et Hominus, their second LP. Featuring a new lineup including Jorel Hart (ex-Cognitive vocalist) and bassist/saxophonist Zach Strouse, Burial in the Sky take things to the next level on new single “The Pivotal Flame.”
Strouse (who handled sax duties on Rivers of Nihil’s latest album) gets plenty of time to shine on saxophone here, complemented by death metal could be described as progressive, psychedelic or crushing depending on which part of the song you’re referring to.
“We want people to feel certain things that sometimes can’t be as easily expressed with the extreme side of music,” says founding member/guitarist James Tomedi. “We focused a lot more on the psychedelic, progressive, and atmospheric sides to the band to help evoke those emotions. From the perspective of composition, we really wanted people to be able to just enjoy this record. We tried to make it a good balance of accessible yet sonically complex and intriguing.
“Conceptually, it travels into the world of perception becoming the creation of all life. The thought process is the way we perceive things guides own personal reality. So in a sense, our world is our own. The way that you see it could be vastly different than me. With this record, we take the stories of great thinkers, mathematicians, inventors, activists, etc to try and paint an entire picture of life and all its small yet beautiful nuances through the way these people perceived it.
“Creatio et Hominus is a start to something more artistically. During the writing process of Creatio et Hominus the music started to drift deeper into an approach that we hadn’t touched on nearly as intensely. Songs like “The Pivotal Flame”, the title track “Creatio et Hominus”, and “Nautilus’ Cage” are at the apex of where we found ourselves. The sound within those songs specifically shows the natural progression of Burial In The Sky. It certainly shows where we will go on future releases as well.”
Creatio et Hominus will be released on June 1. | <urn:uuid:a02dfdee-67e6-435a-a7e7-a8d07c7988f3> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.decibelmagazine.com/2018/04/09/track-premiere-burial-in-the-sky-the-pivotal-flame/ | 2023-09-28T18:21:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.950851 | 498 |

As a member of the 5% Club, Delta Balustrades are committed to helping the country’s growth agenda. We believe in the importance of developing our people, addressing youth unemployment and tackling the skills shortage.
With an amazing 25% of our people enrolled on formalised apprenticeships and graduate development schemes, we asked our current apprentices for their thoughts on learning through application.
Lewis Turner, currently studying a Level 2 in Improving Operational Performance, came across the opportunity of an apprenticeship at Delta in his second year of college, whilst considering pursuing a career in manufacturing and production.
“Having the opportunity to ‘learn on the job’ has given me the chance to develop my knowledge in different areas of production, which will eventually allow me to narrow down to become an expert in a specified field.”
Harrison Knapper, Project Planner, took full advantage of the flexibility of an apprenticeship when studying for his Level 3 in Design and Draughting.
“Through the apprenticeship I have been able to concentrate my training into a 16-week period at the beginning rather than spread out throughout the year. I found this helpful as it gave me a head start on the knowledge of the job, as well as putting me in full time hours at an earlier stage.”
Delta Balustrades, alongside our training provider Total People, facilitate learning with allocated study days and reading material alongside expertise shared by long-standing staff members.
Stephen Boyt, Managing Director, stated “as an organisation we are dedicated to continued professional development and are pleased that so many members of the Delta team are taking part in further education.”
At Delta Balustrades “We get satisfaction from helping people succeed” – this is our ‘why’ – and through our own in-house Delta Academy we will continue to provide and implement further learning opportunities to staff at all levels. | <urn:uuid:09befd2c-a65b-41ec-ad8b-dd86448629ad> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.deltabalustrades.com/25-delta-staff-enrolled-education/ | 2023-09-28T18:22:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.959646 | 436 |
Hard to believe as it may be, as we head into 2012 (depending on who you ask), the SEO industry is anywhere from 12 to roughly 16 years old. Equally surprising is how little the core business model of SEO consulting has changed in the last decade. Comprehensive SEO site audits coupled with design and social media recommendations are where many of our friends make the bulk of their income, with longer engagements typically being structured around ongoing link building campaigns and outsourced content marketing.
SEO Consulting Today
Site audits, in particular, are a lucrative source of income for many consultants, once you have enough deal flow. Prices for these range from $3K on the low end up to $100-200K on the high end (for very large customers, of course), with the average being between $5-10K per audit (anecdotally speaking). As an individual consultant, if you can line up 4-6 of these a month, you’re making great money. From the customer’s perspective, even though site audits look very basic to experienced SEOs, good ones really help customers understand what a coherent SEO strategy looks like in the context of their business.
Add to this ongoing project work, typically set up on 1-6 month contracts, and you can start to expand into a multi-person practice, if you’re so inclined. From the perspective of the consultant, it’s a great model and it will continue to be so. Customers who are fortunate to work with above-board, knowledgeable consultants also benefit through a better executed strategy.
More Companies are Moving SEO Operations In House
However, if you’ve spent any amount of time in the SEO industry, you know that more companies are building in-house teams. This doesn’t mean, of course, that the SEO consulting industry is going away but there is a growing sector of companies, quickly growing businesses with money to spend on SEO and online marketing, who are deciding to do more in-house. This trend, combined with the emergence of high-quality automation tools in recent years, have given many business new options in how they manage SEO. As a consultant, surely you would want to find ways to work with this segment as well? Rather than ignoring this opportunity, SEO consultants and agencies can expand their businesses even further by creating new types of engagements.
Specifically, there is a big opportunity in helping companies build their own SEO (and content marketing) strategy. At first glance, this may sound like something that is included in any worthwhile site audit, but it’s actually quite different. Where most SEO audits and consulting engagements focus on the day to day content creation and optimization strategies, what in-house teams need help with is understanding how they can turn their organization into one that intuitively executes a strong content marketing strategy.
This is a hard problem and the challenge for SEO consultants is to be able to communicate not only with one or two people in the web marketing team, but with executives as well to help them understand the reason for building a strong content strategy. Then get the executive team agree to build the right processes in the company to execute that strategy.
Help Companies Create Their Own SEO Operations
This admittedly sounds all very MBAish and, to be sure, how this works in practice depends on the nature and size of the company in question. In my experience, however, the larger the company, the more you need to get the executive team to understand and promote SEO and content marketing to the entire company. Paid advertising is a convenient fallback for most companies and it has its place, but missed opportunities abound when companies fail to understand the impact that SEO can have on their business. Your job is to help them see that and then help them build an organization to take advantage of this opportunity.
Some companies simply aren’t ready for this. You can usually tell if they are ready by whether or not they have already made their first two or three key hires in the SEO department. If they haven’t, you’ll need to figure out if they are committed to an SEO strategy or are still floundering.
If they have, then they understand the benefits and can probably use some help in building their organization. I’ll cover a lot more details in a later post on how to build an SEO operation in-house, as it is a large topic in its own right. In this post, my goal is simple to promote the idea that there is plenty of opportunity for people with years of SEO experience to provide value to companies building an in-house SEO team. The focus is organizational vs. tactical so it will take a certain type of personality and experience, but don’t let that stop you from reaching out to potential customers to see if you can help. | <urn:uuid:39f0fe14-0ab0-4a90-bf7d-28419c624e1c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.demandsphere.com/blog/the-new-opportunity-for-seo-consultants/ | 2023-09-28T18:17:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.964234 | 979 |

[includes rush transcript]
AMY GOODMAN: As lawmakers continue to debate healthcare proposals, we take a look at how the economic crisis can impact the health of people in this country. I’m joined here in Seattle by Dr. Stephen Bezruchka. He teaches at the University of Washington’s School of Public Health. He’s written extensively on the impact of societal and economic inequalities on the health of a population. He argues combating inequality might be the best way to ensure improved health.
Why is that, Dr. Bezruchka?
DR. STEPHEN BEZRUCHKA: Basically, when you ask the question, “Do you want health or healthcare?” Americans think that it’s healthcare that produces health, when there really is very little evidence for that. What turns out to be really important is the nature of caring and sharing in society. And the best factor that really impacts that is the degree of inequality. Where societies are more unequal, people don’t look out for one another, they look out for themselves. Where societies are more equal — and economic equality is the thing that is most important in this — people look after each other, society looks after each other, and pretty well everyone does better. There’s almost nothing that is better in a society that tolerates the extreme levels of inequality in the United States. And so, we end up dying younger than people in all the other rich countries, despite spending half the world’s healthcare bill.
JUAN GONZALEZ: And Dr. Bezruchka, do you see any correlation between the growth of economic equality in the United States and the health of the people in general?
DR. STEPHEN BEZRUCHKA: Yes. We used to be one of the healthiest countries in the world back in the 1950s. And now we are less — we are about as healthy as Cuba. And we’ve been strangling Cuba for the last forty years. So, as inequality has grown in this country, our health, though it’s been improving, has not improved as fast as it has in all the other rich countries and quite a few poor ones, as well. No expert really doubts that. That is, we die much younger. Even, you know, major government documents point that out. Most Americans, of course, are not aware that. They don’t realize that they push up daisies well before their time.
That’s the key issue, to make Americans realize that we need to fight for health rather than for healthcare. I’ve worked clinically as a doctor for thirty-five years. I’m not against providing healthcare services. But we need to understand that that is not what produces health in society. So we need to first make known the fact that we die younger than we should. Then we need to measure our health indicators relative to other countries. And instead of being what I — thirtieth in what I call the health Olympics, we should rise up and be in the top ten, perhaps. I mean, we win the most gold medals in most Olympic contests. If we had a medal for — if we had an event for health, we should be close to the top in the health Olympics. And we don’t even show up for the final event.
AMY GOODMAN: Dr. Bezruchka, how does our healthcare system affect this, influence this? And what is the system you think would improve the health of the most powerful country on earth?
DR. STEPHEN BEZRUCHKA: Well, if we talk about healthcare system, first of all, we have to recognize, healthcare is a very tiny factor in the health of whole populations. And that’s a real polemic.
What’s really important is how we structure early life. Since half of our health as adults is somehow determined between conception and age three, four or five, early life lasts a lifetime. And we are the only rich country that doesn’t have mandated paid maternity, paternity leave, as all the other rich countries do. So we neglect early life, and we pay the price with poor health as adults.
I think in terms of a healthcare system, a medical care system, I think we should remove the profit motive from it. As long as we have healthcare insurance companies that in 2005 made $100 billion in profit, it’s very hard to tamper with that kind of an industry. However, profiteer is not good for our health. So I would begin by taking profit out of the system and not seeing it as a market phenomenon.
AMY GOODMAN: And how do think this can happen? Politically, President Obama has not come out for single payer — but we’re going to have to leave this question for the next time we speak.
DR. STEPHEN BEZRUCHKA: OK.
AMY GOODMAN: I want to thank you very much, Dr. Stephen Bezruchka, for joining us, a professor at University of Washington, here in Seattle. | <urn:uuid:4dcb8f88-903e-4c8e-80af-737c6413a242> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.democracynow.org/2009/3/30/as_recession_deepens_how_is_the | 2023-09-28T19:15:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.963609 | 1,163 |
Last week Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s security detail assaulted a group of peaceful protesters outside the Turkish ambassador’s residence. Video from the scene shows Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan looking on during the assault. It’s not clear if Erdogan gave the order for the attack. The assault came shortly after Erdogan was welcomed to the White House by President Trump. For more, we speak with Seyid Riza Dersimi, who was violently attacked during the protest and rushed by ambulance to the hospital, where he received stitches on his nose and was treated for a head injury. We also speak with a Kurdish activist who attended last week’s protest.
AMY GOODMAN: We end today’s show looking at Turkey’s crackdown on protest—not in Ankara or Istanbul, but here in the U.S. Last week, the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s security detail assaulted a group of peaceful protesters outside the Turkish ambassador’s residence. Video from the scene shows Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan looking during the assault. It is not clear if he gave the order for the attack. Among those assaulted by the Turkish security detail were American diplomatic security officers. Police briefly detained the assailants, but released them after learning they held diplomatic immunity.
The assault came shortly after Erdogan was welcomed to the White House by President Trump. During the meeting, Trump did not mention Turkey’s deteriorating human rights situation, which has seen nearly 50,000 people and 150 journalists arrested since a failed coup last summer. On Sunday, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson denounced the violent clash during an interview with Fox News Sunday’s Chris Wallace.
SECRETARY OF STATE REX TILLERSON: We did call the ambassador of Turkey into the State Department to discuss what occurred with them and express our view that this is simply unacceptable. There is an ongoing investigation, Chris, and I think we’ll wait and see what the outcome of that investigation is. But we have expressed our dismay at what occurred at the Turkish Embassy.
AMY GOODMAN: Well, for more, we go to Washington, D.C., where we’re joined by two guests, both eyewitnesses to last week’s violence outside the Turkish ambassador’s residence.
Seyid Riza Dersimi was violently attacked during the protest, rushed by ambulance to the hospital, where he received stitches on his nose, was treated for a head injury. His assailants knocked out one of his teeth and loosened several others. Dersimi is a businessman who’s been a U.S. citizen since 1992.
And we’re joined by a Kurdish activist who attended last week’s protest.
I want to welcome you both to Democracy Now! Seyid Riza Dersimi, explain what happened to you. Tell us about the scene that day.
SEYID RIZA DERSIMI: Well, we went to—like 13, 14 of the citizens of American—we are American citizens. We went to Turkish ambassador’s house to protest Erdogan. We wanted to he hear our voice. We are not happy the way he—his dictatorship. And as soon as we get there, the police—we just followed the D.C. police orders. And the D.C. police sent us across the street. And when we were there, right away, the people in front of the Turkish ambassador’s house, they start to curse us. They start to use F-words. And then we—our slogan was very peaceful. It’s not violent whatsoever. We were demanding peace in Turkey. And we were—this is our slogans. Erdogan is a baby killer. ISIS and Erdogan is the same. ISIS is made in Turkey. Please, Mr. President Trump, stop Erdogan, because Erdogan is killing, attacking the Kurds. Kurds fights ISIS, against ISIS. And the Turks fight Kurds. So, we wanted to Erdogan hear our voice. That was the reason we were there.
But 10—10, 15 minutes later, and first they attacked, and then the police stopped them. Some civilian they attacked, and police stopped them. And then, like five, 10 minutes later, the Erdogan bodyguards, they passed the police, their block, and then they attacked us, very barbaric way. And first I remember there was a woman next to me, Lusik. She’s a Yazidi represent in Washington. They attack her. They—one of them just grabbed her head and started punching, and I tried to cover her head. And then, all of a sudden, three or four of them attacked on me, and I found myself on the street. And then they were kicking, one after another, my head. I tried to get up, but they were kicking me, so I realized that I cannot. And I laid down on the floor, and I tried to cover my head with my arm. And I could have died. I don’t know how long I stayed there. I lost it. And then—and then, all of a sudden, I realized no one around me, and I tried to get up, and I saw I was bleeding. And then some police officers, they came, and they raised me up, and they moved me towards the circle.
AMY GOODMAN: I wanted to ask [a Kurdish activist who attended the protest]. What did you see at that site on Tuesday in front of the Turkish ambassador’s house?
KURDISH ACTIVIST: Well, I was actually—I arrived like five minutes later, from—there were two attacks. The first one happened when I already arrived there. It was like five minutes after that. And my friend’s daughter, 7 years old, Shayan [phon.], was like—she was crying when she saw me. I took her, and then, with my son, 4-years-old son, I took them to the like—we were like six feet behind the 10 people. And I was trying to soothe her.
All of a sudden, I saw these men in black suit, they were just like—they were rushing into my friends. And at first I thought, “No, they will not come to attack us. Police will stop them.” But then I saw like they furthered, and then they came close to me. They couldn’t grab me, but they grabbed one of my friends. You might have seen her pics, photos, in media. He was like—he was put on a [inaudible] leg position.
And I was—even though I felt very guilty after that, because I couldn’t protect her, because I had my kid with me, 4-years-old son. And I’ve been saying that I was there with my son, because we’ve been to the protests in D.C. like for a long time. I’ve been here like for 10 years. And I take him to every protest. It is because we never got involved in any violence. And it is just usual for the Kurdish community here to take their kids. Even pregnant women, sometimes they come to the protest.
So, and I tried to—when I saw my friend was punched by one of these men in black suit, I tried to run away to the other—the opposite direction. And I saw that there was a door open, and it was—later I realized that it was the Kenyan Embassy. I asked them, “Can I come in?” They told me like, “You’ll be safe. The American police is here.” I said, “They couldn’t protect us.” First I thought they didn’t protect us, but then I—after watching the videos, no, actually, they couldn’t, because they’re outnumbered. And I think they had guns. The Erdogan’s bodyguards, they had guns. And I’m sure that the state police was startled, too. They couldn’t—they couldn’t do anything against them.
AMY GOODMAN: Who are these security? And, first off, Erdogan—video was released, newly published video, that shows Erdogan looking on as members of his security detail assault the group of peaceful protesters. What are you calling for now? And did you see Erdogan looking on?
KURDISH ACTIVIST: Well, I didn’t see him, but like I wouldn’t be surprised if he gave the order, because, in Turkey, he is the—he is the person who is calling all the shots in Turkey. He is the—he is ruling everything, like he is in charge of everything in Turkey, not just the politics, but the judiciary. He is the head of the—head of the universities. He is everything in Turkey. So I wouldn’t be surprised if he gave the order.
AMY GOODMAN: He has just extended the state of emergency in Turkey on Sunday. And what are you calling for now? The men who were arrested apparently have diplomatic immunity, and so they were released. What are you demanding? On Fox, they asked Tillerson. Chris Wallace asked Tillerson if the U.S. would be expelling the Turkish ambassador, and Secretary of State Tillerson said there needs to be an investigation.
KURDISH ACTIVIST: Well, I want to say that this is not the first time that his bodyguards are attacking protesters. This happened in Ecuador last year, and also it happened at the Brookings Institute in Washington, D.C., again, in 2016. Well, they—basically, they get away with that. And because of that, I guess they think that they can do whatever they want in other countries. They do that in Turkey. Like they even—so, like, I wanted to say that this violence that we witnessed on Tuesday, it is—we can take it as like—as a representation of the Turkish state violence against dissidents and opponents in Turkey. But the scale of it was so—the amount of the violence that we witnessed was nothing to be compared to the ones that people are having on a day-to-day basis in Turkey. So, yes, McCain called for the expulsion of the ambassador. I think they should do something, and especially this new government, especially Mr. Trump, the president. He is more patriotic. And this happened in American soil. So, I hope they will do something. And they need to do something, actually, like because they get away with that. They get away with the one in Ecuador the last year. That means that this is a recurring thing that’s happening.
AMY GOODMAN:Do you think that Trump’s position on Turkey, you know, calling—when Europe was condemning the referendum that Erdogan pushed through that would increase his dictatorial powers, do you think Trump is influenced by Mike Flynn, his former national security adviser, who turned out to be a paid foreign lobbyist for the Turkish government?
KURDISH ACTIVIST: Well, actually, I—yeah, sorry.
AMY GOODMAN: Go ahead.
KURDISH ACTIVIST: Is someone going—well, actually, they—basically, they have links with the Flynn, that we saw that, but I don’t—but Turkey stands against—Turkey is always like—they don’t want to upset Turkey. This is how I see it, because I think it’s a very important ally in the Middle East. And I don’t think that they will—they wanted to break their ties with Turkey.
AMY GOODMAN: And, Seyid, do you plan to protest Erdogan anymore, after you were brutally attacked and hospitalized?
SEYID RIZA DERSIMI: Absolutely, absolutely, whenever I have a chance. I am—I’m not going to give it up. As an American citizen, I have a right—it’s our First Amendment—to protest, to have a peaceful protest, whenever or wherever we want. Mr. Erdogan cannot take away this, my right, as a Kurdish from Turkey. This happens in Turkey, shouldn’t happen in Turkey, either. But as a—
AMY GOODMAN: We have five seconds.
SEYID RIZA DERSIMI: As an American, as an American citizen, it’s not acceptable. It is not acceptable. | <urn:uuid:9f3fa076-4836-4918-bf55-23254dd0e712> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.democracynow.org/2017/5/22/i_could_have_died_protesters_detail | 2023-09-28T18:20:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.98362 | 2,605 |
This was a 2 generation move (very smart!) Daughter downsized with mom and dad. She is still working but is all set to enjoy retirement when she's ready. It looks a bit crowded as we have made a 2 bedroom space in a 1 bedroom apartment. Dad made much of the wood pieces - the TV is sitting on a cabinet made to store the "bell collection". It worked much better than the original tv stand. We hung their favorite pictures and quilt above the bed. This family is very crafty - mom made over 40 pine needle baskets and she kept these four for herself. One of the great things about helping our clients is getting to know them and hearing their stories and amazing accomplishments.
How satisfied were you? Extremely!!
What did you like most? Contact, communication, caring. Christine and her team are professional, caring, organized and efficient. They take the time to take special care of us.
Areas we can improve? I cannot think of any. This was the best moving experience I've ever experienced!

Barnegat Web Design Project Notes
NJ Paddle Board Rentals needed a website that would draw traffic from all over NJ and facilitate online payment for their rental customers. This Barnegat web design allows customers to chat with a representative and book a SUP rental right on the website.
When a customer checks out, they choose various options related to their rental purchase, pick a rental date, and complete payment with a PayPal based checkout.
This website has proven to be an asset for NJ Paddle Board rentals, as it has drawn traffic from as far as Delaware for day-trippers looking to spend time exploring the Barnegat Bay.

“Keto was easier than I thought”
When Tammy first heard of the keto diet in January this year, she brushed it off. Although her daughter had successfully lost 70 lbs (32 kg) on the diet, Tammy thought that it would be too hard to follow.
But today she wishes that she would have started it then and there! Because when she finally tried it in May this year, it became an immediate success:
My name is Tammy I’m 55 years old and live in Ontario, Canada. I feel like I have been overweight my whole life. Last May I was in pretty bad shape and in a lot of pain. I weighed in at 257 lbs (117 kg) and I am 5’1” (155 cm). I had numbness in my thigh, pins and needles in my toes, significant back and knee pain and arthritis in my feet. I had difficulty with stairs and had to use the elevator at work.
Back In January my daughter tried to convince me to try keto it I didn’t think I could do that. She had lost 70 lbs (32 kg) on keto and was training for her first triathlon. Come forward to May and I started to make a couple small changes no more chips and dip (which I ate every night about 10:00 pm). Mid May my neurologist suggested if I lost some weight it would help with the numbness and pain I was experiencing. I joined a weight loss plan and lost about 20 lbs (9 kg) but I had plateaued and was frustrated. About a week after my daughter’s second triathlon I decided I was going to give keto a try if she could do it I could do it. I think my mind frame was finally ready to really lose weight.The first week I lost 9 lbs (4 kg) and found keto was easier than I thought. I am happy to report that I am down 45.5 lbs (21 kg) altogether. I still have a way to go to get to my goal but I am motivated to stay on track. I have gone from a size 24 to a size 16! I am walking almost every day and I’m joining a gym this week and I am no longer using the elevator at work.
I really wish I had started keto in January instead of August but I’m doing it now and that’s what is important. I have a modest monthly weight loss goal and will be at my goal weight by July. I also got a Fitbit and do challenges with a few girls from work and I have a great support system with my family and friends.
The first photo is me in May at 257 lbs (117 kg) and the second is me in October at 212 lbs (96 kg).
Congratulations on your success Tammy. And a big congrats and Thank You to your daughter for her personal success, and her success helping you find your path. Keep up the great work!

When a long term irish mail order brides marriage ends suddenly, it can be destructive. A person goes through a large variety of emotions, right from anger to unhappiness, and it can always be difficult to proceed.
Understanding the reason behind the breakup is vital to coping with the case. Knowing how come your long-term romantic relationship ended will help you get through the healing and moving on using your life.
The quick break up of any long-term relationship might be caused by any availablility of factors. One of the most common reasons for a sudden break up is incompatibility.
Incompatibility can cause a couple to feel unfulfilled within their relationship, consequently they may start out thinking about a new romantic relationship. This can lead to the relationship losing its spark and chemistry.
It can also result in the person deciding to end all their romantic relationship all together. They feel that all their partner is no longer really worth the time and effort it will require to keep up a healthy marriage.
In addition, the fundamental issue of incompatibility can be hard to help repair because each could have different strategies about how issues must be done. This can bring about a lack of trust, respect, and psychological connection involving the two.
In addition , the partnership can be interrupted by a range of factors, including financial concerns or maybe a job reduction. These can cause a lot of pressure on the previous partner, making that impossible to help them to maintain https://www.teenvogue.com/story/best-love-songs-of-all-time healthy conversation or be emotionally supportive. | <urn:uuid:1108bbc3-5b2a-4d81-afd2-8ad6278ce1b1> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.digisetu.in/2022/12/11/causes-of-a-sudden-split-of-a-long-term-relationship/ | 2023-09-28T18:32:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.949461 | 327 |
A test using artificial intelligence could hold the key to more targeted treatment of bowel cancer, new research has suggested.
The test uses artificial intelligence to measure proteins present in patients with advanced bowel cancer to help doctors decide on the best treatment options.
Experts from the University of Leeds collaborated with researchers at Roche Diagnostics to develop the test.
They used samples from a previous trial, funded by Cancer research UK, to look at levels of two proteins – AREG and EREG – produced by some colorectal cancers.
AI algorithms were able to show patients with higher levels of these proteins who received significant benefit from a treatment which inhibits these proteins, known as EGRF.
Patients with low levels of proteins did not benefit from treatment with EGRF.
Currently, anti-EGFR treatments are only given to patients with advanced, incurable bowel cancers, but researchers hope their methodology could be used in the future to identify patients in the earlier stages of illness who could also benefit from the drugs.
Christopher Williams, from Leeds University’s division of pathology and data analytics and lead author of the report, said: “As more treatment options become available for advanced colorectal cancer, it is becoming increasingly difficult for patients and their doctors to choose the treatment that’s right for them.
“This test will help patients navigate this decision-making process more easily.”
Kandavel Shanmugam, senior director of medical innovation at Roche Diagnostics, added: “As increasing numbers of complex tests are developed to target the right cancer treatments to the right patients, developing streamlined methods for delivering test results will be essential to improve cancer care.
“By using artificial intelligence to semi-automate the test process, we anticipate it may be easier for results to be delivered to patients faster to better influence treatment decisions.”
The study was funded by Innovate UK, Roche Diagnostics and Yorkshire Cancer Research.
Bowel cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the UK and has the second highest cancer death rate. One in 15 men and one in 18 women will be diagnosed with bowel cancer during their lifetime, according to Bowel Cancer Research UK.
The disease is treatable and curable if caught early, which is why diagnostic tests like this AI tool to identify patients who could benefit from certain treatments earlier are vital for saving lives. | <urn:uuid:802d5dc0-4a58-40c5-8708-ba124ee83b26> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.digitalhealth.net/2021/04/artificial-intelligence-test-could-hold-key-to-bowel-cancer-treatment/ | 2023-09-28T17:37:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00298.warc.gz | en | 0.953857 | 487 |

MOOCHIE'S MEATBALLS & MORE
The cool thing about this dive is that it's located in an actually pottery building so it really does give you a little something different
for a change which we adore. When it comes to the menu, it's really amazing and we suggest the Eggplant Parmigiana Sandwich, Meatball Sub or
even the timeless, classic Philly-Style Cheesesteak. A simple yet lively joint that really kicks it up in both atmosphere and meals to match.
Something about the bread here too, it's always on point with the right amount of softness, crunch and flavor. One item people don't mention
here enough are the fries.. really some of the best fries we've had. Another hot one is their potato salads.. truly out of this world. Just
some of the most basic items yet they're done perfectly. Great bar as well with some great choices which include their Pennsylvania Dutch
Birch Beer. In our experience, it can't get any better than this spot. So many try and fail time after time, yet Moochies is still standing
strong and continues to lead the pack.

Earlier this month, the following e-mail arrived in my inbox (and in many other tax preparers’ inboxes):
Congratulations! Your e-filing firm is eligible to use the e-Services incentive products. The following incentive products are now available:
Disclosure Authorization allows you to submit Form 2848, Power of Attorney and Declaration of Representative, and Form 8821, Tax Information Authorization electronically.
Electronic Account Resolution enables you to expedite closure on clients’ account problems by electronically sending/receiving account related inquiries. You may inquire about individual or business account problems, refunds, installment agreements, payments or notices.
Transcript Delivery System provides online tax return transcripts, account transcripts and a record of account for both individual and business taxpayers.
Remember that you must have a power of attorney on file before accessing client’s records using Electronic Account Resolution or Transcript Delivery System.
Principals or Responsible Officials can grant their employees access to these e-services through the on-line e-file application. First, add individual employees to the e-file application using the Delegate User function. Next, activate the individual e-services for an employee using the Delegate Authorities link.
I was excited to receive this because it seemed to indicate that the IRS was bringing back the ability to elecronically file power of attorney forms.
I wanted to jump on this right away, but caution told me to sit on it for awhile so I flagged the e-mail for follow-up later this week.
My caution proved to be justified when I received the weekly “E@lert” published by the National Association of Enrolled Agents. Other EAs had received the same e-mail and asked NAEA about it. NAEA asked the IRS for more information and here’s what happened:
The response (to us as well as to the members who received the initial message — some as many as nine times): a follow-up “oopsie” e-mail. Subject line: Disregard email about e-services products. The full text follows:
“If you received an Oct. 23 email notifying you that you are eligible for e-services Incentive Products (TDS, DA, EAR), please disregard as this email was inadvertently sent. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.”
That’s quite a mistake to “inadvertently” send an e-mail to practitioners, implying that online services were available again when they really aren’t. Especially since the IRS doesn’t intend to send a follow-up retraction to all of us who got the original e-mail.
Thank goodness NAEA published the IRS retraction, because otherwise I would have tried using the system again to submit power of attorney forms and I would have been confused as to why it wasn’t working.
Of course, I have long been confused as to why the IRS did away with the ability to submit power of attorney forms online, as I blogged about in the past.
