The 5th episode of Obi Wan Kenobi aired this morning on Disney+ and in it we see a ton of carvings in Aurebesh on the walls in the hideout location on Jabiim. Just like the safehouse on Mapuzo from episode 3, when translated these carvings may provide clues to finding other Jedi who escaped the purge during Order 66.
For those who do not know, Aurebesh is the Star Wars version of the alphabet that is used to translate Galactic Basic Standard. Or English… with a cooler name. I spent some time this morning translating what I saw carved on the walls in the episode and YES, I found a few interesting new Jedi names that you’re going to want to know about.
But before I go into details about what was carved on the walls in Obi-Wan episode three I want to let you know that if you have not seen the episode and don’t want to be spoiled then RUN AWAY!
When Roken, Tala, Obi-Wan, and Leia reach Jabiim they land in a hangar built inside of a cave system that acts as the next, and possibly final, step of The Path.
The Path is a series of safe houses and travel routes to help force sensitive children, adult force users, and former/current Jedi to escape the Empire and the Inquisitors who are hunting them down.
What was carved on the walls in Kenobi Episode 5? More Legends Jedi getting canon mentions?
There were plenty of Jedi that made it out of Order 66 alive. Some masters, some padawans, and even younglings like our boy Gungi from The Bad Batch trailer. In episode 3 we got names of three are Legend’s characters who were finally canonized. We get even more this week in Obi Wan Kenobi episode 5.
One in particular has me very excited and makes it even more likely that we see Quinlan in an upcoming show.
Here’s what I found.
“The Light Fades But Is Never Forgotten”
Just below the Jedi Sigil, the same carving we saw in episode 3 on Mapuzo, we see a full sentence that says, “The Light Fades But Is Never Forgotten.”
Jedi Padawan Ekria
Ekria was the Padawan of Jedi Master Aayla Secura. It actually makes sense that she would show up here. Why? Because while her master was Aayla Secura, Aayla’s master was Quinlan Vos. The same Quinlan that was name dropped in Kenobi Episode 3 by Obi-Wan in the safe house on Mapuzo.
Ekria first appeared in a series of web strips that were written by Paul Ens and Illustrated by Tom Hodges. They ran from 2004 to 2006 and were exclusively available to The Star Wars Hyperspace fan club members.
Drake Lo’gaan was a Human male Jedi Padawan during the Clone Wars. Apprenticed to Master Roron Corobb, Lo’gaan participated in the galaxy-wide conflict, but was separated from his master during the Battle of Coruscant. During the battle, Corobb was slain by General Grievous, leaving Lo’gaan without a master. Soon after, Anakin Skywalker sent Lo’gaan to Felucia to aid in the ongoing battle on that world. There, he met Ekria and Zonder, fellow masterless Padawans, and he witnessed the enactment of Order 66. Fleeing back to Coruscant with his new friends, he lived his life on the run from the Inquisitorius, particularly Antinnis Tremayne.
The trio of Padawans eventually became freelance crime-fighters in Coruscant’s underworld, and were involved in a Black Sun plot. Though they thought themselves safe at first, their dealings with Prince Xizor put them in grave danger, and resulted in the death of Zonder at the hands of Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith. Lo’gaan and Ekria sought revenge, and planned to assassinate Vader on Tepasi, but they had a contingency plan in place, in case the attempt failed. Lo’gaan unsuccessfully dueled with Vader, but survived the encounter thanks to trickery on Ekria’s part, and the pair were able to live their lives in solitude, believed dead by the agents of the Galactic Empire.
“DA”Jedi Master Djinn Altis
Djinn Altis was mentioned in Obi-Wan Kenobi Episode 3 in the carving on the walls of the Mapuzo safehouse.
Djinn Altis is a Legends character who was a male human Jedi master that created his own splinter group of Jedi called the Altisian Jedi who were loyal to the Republic but did not agree with all of the restrictions of the main Jedi Order. They were allowed to have families and take on multiple apprentices at one.
The core difference between Djinn’s sect of Jedi was that he believed that Jedi should be encouraged to have attachments. Although he was considered a little kookoo by many, he was still able to rise to the rank of Jedi Master.
Although he participated in the Clone Wars with his acolytes, including missions with Anakin and Ahsoka, they were able to all survive order 66 because they did not work closely with Clones. Allowing them to go underground once the Jedi purge started.
From what I can tell Master Altis has never appeared in a comic. As of now his first appearance in any media is the Children of the Jedi novel from Del Rey in the mid-90s.
Jedi and Rebel Pilot Corwin Shelvay
Corwin Shelvay first appeared in the 1993 RPG “Galaxy Guide 9: Fragments of the Rim.” If you’re into obscure collectibles you can get a copy of the guide on ebay.
To be honest I didn’t know much about Corwin Shelvay but here’s what Wookieepedia on his bio page.
Corwin Shelvay was a male Human Jedi Knight in the time of Emperor Palpatine’s Great Jedi Purge. The apprentice of Darrin Arkanian, Shelvay traveled the galaxy with his master until he was captured by the Empire on Coruscant. Arkanian rescued him at the cost of his own life, falling to the blade of Antinnis Tremayne. Shelvay sought revenge on Tremayne, grievously injuring him, but came perilously close to the dark side in the process.
After wandering the galaxy in search of a new purpose, Shelvay eventually joined the Rebel Alliance. In the following years, he recruited new members into its ranks and led special forces teams in attacks against the Empire. Shelvay eventually joined the New Jedi Order after the destruction of the Galactic Empire.
One other interesting takeaway is that, in Legends, Corwin Shelvay worked on a Rebel Alliance mission with fan-favorite Jedi Kyle Katarn. The connection is loose but Katarn fan boys/girls may have a reason to get excited IF Corwin turns out to be more than an easter egg.
This is the same person that was carved into the walls of the Mapuzo safe house from Kenobi Episode 3.
Here’s what we know from legends.
Roganda Ismaren is a Female former Jedi Initiate from Alderaan who, like Djinn Altis, first appears in the novel Children of the Jedi but has not appeared in comic form yet. This mention is her first canon mention. Her story is long… and very odd. But it opens up a TON of possibilities, I’ll give you the highlights here.
Roganda survived Order 66 by being smuggled with other young initiates with the help of Jedi Master Plett. But was eventually found by the Inquisitorious and taken into Imperial custody. She eventually grew into an adult woman and became one of Palpatine’s concubines. Which is a terribly unpleasant thought but a girl has to survive. She got pregnant, promoted to Emporers hand, and began grooming her son to be the heir to the empire. Her son eventually killed her.
Ok so I have no clue if they plan on tying this character into the current canon more. Her story doesn’t really fit what they have going on. Could just be an easter egg but fun all the same. You can get her full background here on Wookieepedia.
“RK” can be seen on the wall. This could be Jedi Master Rahm Kota.
Rahm Kota is a Jedi Master and General from the Clone Wars who was previously only a Legends character. So, through this tiny reference, maybe, just maybe, he’s now canon. He first appeared in the Force Unleashed video game.
After Vader’s apprentice was cast out of favor with the dark lord, him and Rahm team up in the Force Unleashed II. For those who want to experience that story in comic form, he appears first in the Force Unleashed Trade Graphic Novel from August 2008, and then in the Force Unleased II Graphic Novel from September 2010.
There are also scarce mini comics (the mini comic for the first game was published 2008) which came specially packaged with certain versions of the games which are pretty tough to come by. These 2008 mini comics are the first appearances of Starkiller, Rahm Kota and all the original characters from the game.
“MF” Minos Fel’Kona?
First off this one is debatable. The two of us here at DrunkWooky.com actually disagree on the letters here. Which is fine, we are all the republic.
The first initial could either be an M or an L. The confusion comes from the style of symbol as it looks backwards. There is, however, some precedent set for using inverted Aurebesh symbols to denote a capitalized letter. That combined with the story I’m about to summarize below make me below that this is not only an M but that MF represents Minos Fel’Kona.
This is a deep-cut mention as Minos’s only mention is in the Living Force RPG games from what used to be Wizard.com. The first plot he was involved in was “The Sith Fortress” and you can check out the archived page here with the story. But if you disagree let me know in the comments.
Minos Fel’Kona was a human Jedi Master from Legends who studied at the Academy of Almas and became a professional investigator for the Jedi Order specializing in Sith history. This includes a full investigation of Darth Rivan (not a typo) where Minos found all kinds of dark side relics, remains of beasts, and insights into how the Sith operated over 1000 years BBY.
The reason I believe that the Aurebesh initials from episode 5 of Obi-Wan translate to MF and represent Minos’s is that his story includes him not only surviving Order 66 but also smuggling other Jedi survivors to safety. Fits the narrative of “The Path” perfectly in my opinion.
He believed that fighting Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine would end with the death of the surviving Jedi he decided it would best to take the survivors and hide in the “depths of the galaxy.” Which, if he was going to be pulled into visual media, would explain his absence during the galactic civil war with the Empire. You can read the thoughts of Minos after Order 66 from the Living Force RPG here.
A Memorial for Fallen Jedi Younglings
One of the symbols which is not the most ubiquitous galactic written language, Aurebesh, is an artfully scrawled depiction of the Jedi Youngling Crest. One has to imagine this was done as a memorial to those slain at the Coruscant Temple during Order 66.
Unknown Markings from Jabiim in Episode 5
These are some markings we’ve translated, identified, or noticed, but don’t yet know the significance of. If an eagle-eyed fan has an idea, shout it out in the comments!
The initials EC, could mean a large number of in-universe characters, or perhaps just be the initials of somebody involved in the episode’s production.
There carving could be the aurebesh letter “F” at a tilt and then an “A” close enough together to touch. This could be a reference to Fy-Tor-Ana, Fable Astin, or perhaps other Jedi I haven’t thought of yet. The symbols are close enough to perhaps be one symbol, sigil, or crest, though. This may indicate an entirely different character or group. I’ve been unable to find an in-universe symbol that looks like this. Maybe it is being placed here to show up again in later productions like Andor or Ahsoka. We’ll see.
All in all I cannot say I think most of these characters will have their stories told in live action. They are likely just Easter eggs for diehards. It is cool however to have their names brought back into canon and to get hope that more Jedi survived into the original trilogy. Even if they weren’t involved in Luke Skywalker storylines.
That’s all for now.
For light and life.

Star Wars comics did not always have the large draw they have today. In the beginning, the marketing really took a while to rev up. Then, after Return of the Jedi, a great lull set in. All of this combined to lead to some truly strange ventures into children’s cartoons and other licensed media. The result was Star Wars comics finding themselves printed and licensed into some strange and obscure places. Keep reading to learn about some real oddities in Star Wars collecting! This list isn’t so much based on raw data and prices (mostly because those are so hard to come by), but my own personal experience in collecting Star Wars comics since 1995. So, if anybody gives any credence to my heuristics and anecdotal evidence, I submit to you some of the rarest and hardest to come by Star Wars comics in collecting history (so far)!
Honorable Mention: Galaxy’s Edge Imagineer Variant
Once believed to be an incredibly rare comic, recent information has revealed that there are more copies of this book out there than previously though. The Galaxy’s Edge comic ties in to the Disney Parks Galaxy’s Edge attraction. Following a band of characters who are adventuring through Batuu, this comic features flashbacks of fan favorite characters and their own time on that same planet. The special variant of the Galaxy’s Edge #1 was produced for Disney Parks staff and employees, including the “Imagineers” who designed it. Recently, the card which came with the comic came to light disclosing that 6,800 copies of the comic were produced.
We don’t know how many were actually handed out, or how many are sitting in a box in some Disney office, but 6,800 is actually a fairly large amount of comics in the modern era. When you consider that store exclusive variants have a minimum print purchase from Marvel of 3,000 copies for the first cover and 1,000 copies for the second, 6,800 copies almost doubles this figure. Having said that, there still are relatively few in circulation on online secondary markets, leading us to believe that most of these are held personally by Disney staff as keepsakes and mementos. As of the date of this article, 30 copies of this variant are CGC graded in the census.
10. The Clone Wars #1 Dark Horse Special Edition
It’s hard to imagine when 1,000 copies of a book was considered a limited amount. It seems every online retailer nowadays has an exclusive cover to every other comic coming out with a 1,000 copy variant. However, this book was actually particularly hard to get from the word go.
In 2006, Dark Horse announced the “Dark Horse 100” promotion. It was a free contest where local comic shops would enter and 10 shops were randomly selected to receive 100 alternative covers of a particular issue. There are 16 of these running the range of Buffy, Predator, Conan, and Serenity. From the Star Wars line, it included Dark Times #1, Clone Wars #1, and Invasions Rescue #1. So, these books started out distributed to only 10 comic shops each. Distribution then trickled out from there. (source: DarkHorse.com)
The fact that Clone Wars #1 is Ahsoka Tano’s first appearance is certainly helpful for this book, but back in 2008, when the issue was released, would you believe that buzz around the character was pretty low? Only diehard Star Wars fans, and among those only the ones tuning in to this supposedly “kids'” cartoon were aware or fans of her. So, it wasn’t that long ago that you could buy a raw copy of this book for $200 or less. With Ahsoka’s appearance in live action in the Mandalorian, the whole collecting and reselling world is aware of this book’s importance and has snapped all copies up. You’ll be hard pressed to find a copy in the wild and the ones you’ll find online are “slabbed” in CGC cases, often signed by some combination of Rosario Dawson (live action Ahsoka), or Ashley Eckstein (animated Ahsoka), and asking a premium. Good luck finding that one final mom running a garage sale of her college son’s old comics. If you find her, tell her I’ll buy her Clone Wars #1 for $10!
9. Star Wars #1 (2015) C2E2 Sketch Action Figure Variant
From the first time that Marvel published that a series of “action figure” variants would be printed upon their return to the Star Wars property in 2015, the variant covers by John Tyler Christopher have been wildly popular with an avid subset of collectors and fans. Tapping into that nostalgia of collecting the old 5 point of articulation Kenner action figures from the late 70s, they were bound to be a hit and remain so to this day. Hell, even collectors who don’t habitually follow the comics and are more focused on action figures are fans of them:
The black and white sketch variant of the first Star Wars action figure comic cover was given out at C2E2 in Chicago in 2015.
“This was a limited retailer variant with a rumoured distribution of only a few hundred (some believe this was less than 500 and could be as low as 200 copies) and was apparently given out by Marvel to select dealers in Chicago at C2E2 (Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo).” –RecalledComics
The cover is a black and white “sketch” version of the readily available color variant of Star Wars #1 (Marvel 2015). As of the date of this article, 69 copies of the sketch version are CGC graded in the census.
8. Halcyon Legacy 1 Exclusive Press Copy
On March 1, 2022, Disney Parks invited members of the Press and other invitees to take part in the Galactic Starcruiser’s Maiden Voyage. In other words, the free Press Event. As a part of this event, tons of exclusive swag, freebies, and memorabilia available for purchase was taken home by members of the press. And some of it started to appear on secondary markets like ebay.
One particular item caught the eye of the Star Wars Comic collecting community- An exclusive variant of the Halcyon Legacy #1 cover by E.M. Gist. This comic seemingly has the exact same cover as Halcyon Legacy #1 cover A by E.M. Gist, just without the barcode and featuring a black band stating “Exclusive Press Copy” on it.
The back cover features art from Galactic Starcruiser unique to this edition:
We know from press images that the rooms were made up with a copy laying on the pillow greeting guests.
There are 100 rooms in the Galactic Starcruiser, so at least 100 exist. Beyond that, we don’t actually know how many exist. There are a measly 6 copies graded in the CGC census as of the writing of this article.
7. The Old Republic Threat of Peace SDCC Ashcan
“The first Dark Horse 6-part mini-series is comprised entirely of formerly published web comics released on StarWarsTheOldRepublic.com from February 27th, 2009 through September 24, 2010. An “ashcan” was given away for free at the Dark Horse booth at the 2009 San Diego ComicCon. It has a chromium cover and measures 6 1/2″ x 4 1/2″.“
As of the writing of this article, there were 12 copies graded in the CGC census.
6. The Force Unleashed Mini Comic
This tiny little comic was shipped with orders of the first Force Unleashed video game from the now defunct Star Wars Shop online store. TheForce.net had the news in 2008:
“StarWarsShop.com has an exclusive Star Wars: The Force Unleashed mini comic not available for sale at retail or anywhere else! The comic features an exclusive concept art cover, an excerpt from Dark Horse Comics’ The Force Unleashed adaptation, and an EXCLUSIVE CHEAT CODE!“
The cover depicts Starkiller from the concept art for the game:
For one reason or another, there simply aren’t that many of these going around the market. There are one or two as of today listed on ebay for absolutely silly prices (think Amazing Fantasy 15 prices), but not much else available. I wouldn’t endorse anybody paying the amounts being asked on ebay today, but this is certainly an incredibly difficult book to find. You may try your luck opening copies of the game at your local thrift store to see if a copy is slotted in behind the user manual.
5. High Republic Promotional Galley
In late 2020, around September, the results of what was code-named “Project Luminous” were about to be released. The new High Republic era of publishing was a complete multimedia push involving Marvel Comics, IDW Comics, young reader books, middle grade books, YA Novels, and Novels. This promotional box was given to a select few of the creative team, mostly the authors (Charles Soule, Cavan Scott, Justina Ireland, Claudia Gray, and Daniel Jose Older). In particular, artists Ario Anindito and Harvey Talibao did not receive the box. A select few members of the media had the box sent to them, and some retailers were sent the box to promote the upcoming offerings in the publishing initiative.
It’s unknown how many of these were produced and sent out, but very few have come to market. In my own personal search for one, I ran into retailers who informed me that it was their practice to throw away or destroy these types of promotional materials as they were usually not permitted to sell them. Many didn’t remember receiving it either.
The box contains uncorrected proof copies of the books Light of the Jedi, Into the Dark, and Test of Courage. It also includes a preview version of Marvel’s High Republic 1 and IDW’s High Republic Adventures 1. You can check out the full contents of those comics here!
MyComyc was a 16-issue anthology comic series released in 1986–1988 by the Spanish publisher Editorial Gepsa. The first eight issues included exclusive short comics based on the Star Wars Droids and Ewoks animated TV series. (Source: Wookieepedia)
These comics, only distributed in Spain, were only brought to light for the larger world to know about because of the efforts of Spanish collector, Adolfo Rodriguez.
“Rodriguez posted a note at Dark Horse Comics’ forum, letting English-speaking fans know of the strips’ existence. He and fellow fan Eddie van der Heijden then provided Dark Horse’s VP of publishing, Randy Stradley, with scans so the publisher could consider having them translated for reprint purposes, while Echoes of the Jedi co-author Jean-François Boivin procured the actual comics.” (Source: richhandley.com)
The issue with these comics is that it’s ambiguous whether or not they were ever officially licensed. Lucasfilm appears to have no record of the license being granted to the Spanish publisher, yet the comic features the proper copyright language in its pages.
During the Dark Horse days of Star Wars comic publication, circa 2012, Randy Stradley, checked into the availability of these Spanish strips to collect into an omnibus:
“[D]espite the comics bearing copyright information, Lucasfilm could not verify that Editorial Gepsa had actually licensed the titles, preventing their being reprinted. That’s a shame, as the strips had an air of authenticity that is uncommon among foreign-language bootlegs. If you’ve ever read an Indonesian Star Trek or Planet of the Apes comic, then you’ve seen just how off the mark such bootlegs can be.
For MyComyc, that was certainly not the case. Its Droids and Ewoks line incorporated many secondary characters from the TV shows, including Jord Dusat, Jann Tosh, the Fromm Gang, Kea Moll, Vlix, Princess Kneesaa, Latara, Chief Chirpa, Teebo, Paploo, Logray, King Gorneesh, and Morag, among others. Perhaps the biggest surprise is that the Quorks, from Marvel’s third Ewoks issue, even made an appearance. Clearly, the writers had done their homework, which is not something unlicensed publishers tend to do.” (Source: richhandley.com)
Due to the limited distribution in the 80s in Spain, these comics are incredibly hard to come about. They rarely come to market. There is a collected edition that collects the full issues 1-8, binding the actual original printed individual issues together. Ironically enough, Mickey Mouse is there at the table with Wicket and C-3PO; a portend of things to come.
“It is a standard practice in many foreign countries to rebind individual issues for a title into collections for resale. There is a collection that includes the first 8 issues, complete with covers, bound inside an outer cover with new artwork. Whether the issues are remainders or printed just for the collection is unknown.” (Source: Swcomiccollector)

3. Contemporary Motivators: Star Wars (1978 Pendulum Press)
In the late 70s, Pendulum Press was producing a series of teaching materials called “Contemporary Motivators.” The set included multiple copies of a black and white comic roughly retelling the story from A New Hope. The box also contained casette tapes, workbooks, schematics of objects from the film, a poster, “Goal Achieved” stickers, and a film strip, all designed to make learning fun and “motivate” remedial readers to improve their reading skills. These comics come up on the market with sparse regularity, but it does happen. I’ve seen them sell recently for $100, but some people are asking many multiples of that more. The real challenge in this book is not necessarily obtaining the comic, but getting the complete boxed set.
Finally, for your viewing pleasure, the film strip!
2. 1976 SDCC Chaykin Poster
This one isn’t so much a comic itself as it is a “comic-adjacent” collectible.
In 1976, Howard Chaykin was approached by Lucasfilm and commissioned to design this advance poster. There were reportedly 1,000 copies of the poster printed and it was distributed at the San Diego Comic Con in an attempt to create interest in the film. No film footage had been released, and the posters didn’t sell well a measly $1. The poster then began finding its way to comic shops where it was given away, thrown away, or maybe taped to the wall. Chaykin would go on to work on the first six comics produced in the initial 1977-1986 series.
At this time, the poster is known to sell for $9,000.00+ when it does find its way to market.
1. Star Wars #1 (1977 Marvel) 35¢ Variant
This issue has to in the top spot, simply because it was one of the first comic rarities to arrive on the scene in 1977. At the time, Marvel was experimenting with a 5 cent price increase from the normal 30 cent price tag. It is believed, based on distribution markings on some 35 cent copies, that these variants were distributed to only 4 cities (Memphis, Toledo, Tuscaloosa and Wilmington). Overstreet Price guide speculates that around 1,500 were printed. Additionally, it’s believed that less a third (or less than 500) have survived to this day. As of February 3, 2023, there are only 270 copies graded in the CGC census. (Source: Recalled Comics)
This variant is not to be confused with the 35 cent diamond reprint that was available through Whitman and other outlets:
There are also a number of forgeries out there that could throw collectors for a loop. At least one was caught where a forger doctored an original 30 cent edition to change the “0” to a “5”. Below is an image of a forged 35 cent variant. Notice how the “5” is level with the “3”.
The authentic variant features a “5” that sits just below the “3”.
Beyond the rarity as a hurdle to collectors who seek this grail, there is also the whopping prices the book demands. An 8.5 sold in January 2023 for almost $11,000 and a low-grade 3.5 sold in December 2022 for almost $4,000!

The term Malocclusion literally translates to “Poor Bite” that is caused due to misaligned teeth. The upper teeth prevent the biting of cheeks and lips while the lower teeth protect the tongue. In people with malocclusion, there is a disturbance in this alignment. This common dental problem, also called malocclusion, can be fixed with orthodontic treatment or braces. The teeth are not able to perform vital functions if they’re misaligned. Learn more about this issue and how it may be treated.
Malocclusion is in most cases, an inherited condition. This means it can be passed down from one generation to the next. The other causes of malocclusion are:
- Abnormally shaped or impacted teeth
- Tongue thrusting or thumb sucking habits in children
- Prolonged use of a pacifier or feeding bottle in childhood
- Tumors in the mouth or jaw
- Improper dental restorative procedures in childhood
- Premature or congenital loss of teeth or missing teeth
- Enlarged tonsils and adenoids that lead to mouth breathing.
- Cleft lip and palate
The symptoms that present themselves when a person is suffering from malocclusion are as follows:
- Difficulty to bite or chew the food
- improper alignment of the teeth
- alteration in the appearance of the face
- frequent biting of inner cheeks or tongue
- speech problems, including the development of a lisp
- breathing through the mouth rather than the nose
Malocclusion of teeth is typically diagnosed through routine dental exams. Physical examination may include examining the teeth, pulling the cheeks outwards and checking for certain defects during biting. Sometimes the dentist may order for dental, facial, head or skull x-ray to determine the type and severity of malocclusion.
Malocclusion may be remedied by orthodontic treatment. Orthodontics is a specialty of dentistry that manages the growth and correction of dental and facial structures. Braces are the most commonly used orthodontic appliances in the treatment of malocclusion.People with mild malocclusion may never need any procedure to get it fixed. However, in many cases treatment is required to fix malocclusion. The various treatment options are:
- Braces to correct the position of the teeth
- Removal of teeth to correct overcrowding
- Reshaping, bonding, or capping of teeth
- Surgery to reshape or shorten the jaw
- Wires or plates to stabilize the jaw bone
Like any treatment procedure, getting the treatment may involve these complications:
- Tooth decay
- Pain or discomfort
- Irritation of the mouth from the use of appliances, such as braces
- Difficulty chewing or speaking during treatment

June 2001 Market Update
Right across the city and most definitely on the Westside, West End and Downtown, sales activity levels have soared. May 2001 was the busiest month for residential sales in Greater Vancouver for over 4 years. June’s figures are expected to exceed that.
Buyer’s recognize that there is a change afoot and with little for sale in key neighbourhoods and less than a 1% rental vacancy rate, expect to see more pressure on prices in the coming months.

Bowing in Japanese culture is a very important part of understanding Japanese society. The Japanese do not greet each other with a handshake, but rather bow. Japanese bowing indicates a number of different information to the observer. A bow can show others how much respect each other is showing to the other, the rank or status in society each other hold, or perhaps how sorry each other are for some mistake they have made.
A bow can range from a small nod of the head to a deep bend at the waist. A deeper, longer bow indicates respect and a small nod with the head is casual and informal.
Bowing with your palms together at chest level is not customary in Japan.
If the greeting takes place on a tatami floor, people get on their knees to bow. Bowing is also used to thank, apologize, make a request or ask someone a favor.
Japanese Bowing is widely used in tandem with greetings like “ohayo gozaimasu” (good morning) and “konnichi wa” (hello, good afternoon) as well as words of gratitude or apology.
Japanese bowing is so deeply ingrained in culture and society that it’s not something people really think too much about. If you’re a foreigner, you’re probably not going to be expected to bow all the time, though that depends on the person. There are, however, so many different ways one can and should bow, depending on the situation and the video below should clear this up for you.
90% of the time however Japanese bows are incredibly casual and small, even getting down to small nods of the head.
The meaning of a bow depends on the situation, depth, and length of time you hold your bow. Bowing in Japan shows respect for the person or thing you’re bowing to. Your rank or social standing in Japanese is really important. If you’re higher up in society from another person, you’ll notice that they talk more politely to you, bow more deeply, and even perhaps order the same food as you at a restaurant.
Bows are only one of the many ways you can show respect and humble yourself in front of another person. Depending on who you’re bowing to, you can bow more deeply, bow longer, or even, perhaps, not bow at all. Beyond humbling yourself, it seems like you can bow for almost any other reason at all. You can bow to greet people, say thank you, say you’re sorry, when you’re congratulating someone, and more.

What Is An Automatic Activation Device For Skydiving?
You may have heard about skydiving with an AAD backup, but what is an AAD? AAD stands for “automatic activation device”, and it’s a valuable safety tool that can give skydivers peace of mind during freefall. This tiny microprocessor computer automatically activates your reserve parachute in case you can’t deploy it, so there’s additional safeguards during your jump. DZONE® utilizes AADs in all of our locations for added safety!
How Does A Skydiving AAD Work?
The automatic activation device for skydiving is not only lifesaving, but it’s also extremely easy to use. That’s why it’s the industry standard to use an AAD for skydiving. The biggest step is to turn on the device while stable, on the ground where you will be landing. After that, it’s smooth sailing! Here are the basics of how the device works on your jump:
- Make sure that you activate your AAD even before you put on all your gear so it can calibrate itself properly while you’re on the ground. Your instructor will show you how to switch it on and double-check that it’s working properly.
- Once activated, the AAD will automatically track your altitude and speed every few seconds.
- Jump as usual and enjoy the free fall! Should something happen to you like a medical emergency, having been knocked unconscious, or for any reason where you were unable to deploy your own parachute, the AAD is supposed to trigger the reserve parachute to deploy. This happens at different altitudes for different modes: approximately 2200 feet for Tandem and 750 feet for solo jumpers. These are extremely low altitudes to still be in freefall; do not ever RELY on your AAD! It’s a backup of last resort!
All skydivers use some form of altimeter to help time their parachute deployment. And while the altimeter is a great tool on hand, we recommend using it with the AAD as a backup. Why? Altimeters can malfunction in midair, and the automatic activation device is designed to provide a backup measure. What’s more, while it may not be required to use an AAD during a solo jump, they are required to have during a tandem jump.
The AAD can also provide extra security during tandem skydiving. If your instructor passes out, devices like the CYPRES 2 AAD will deploy the parachute. We recommend utilizing the parachute landing fall (PLF) if you find yourself in this situation:
- Attempt to gently steer the parachute into a SOFA (Soft Open Flat Area).
- Prepare for the impact and stay focused.
- Avoid concentrating force on your joints, which could cause damage or bruising.
- When your feet touch the ground, roll to the side of your body.
- Allow the momentum to push you forward.

The fellows will attend and report on COP15 in Montreal, Canada from December 7–19, 2022. Organized under the Presidency of the People’s Republic of China, the CBD will be hosting the conference after a two-year postponement due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
COP15 will conclude the negotiations for an ambitious post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework to ensure biodiversity loss is halted and reversed by 2030, with a vision of living in harmony with nature by 2050. The Framework is expected to set the necessary global targets to curb the accelerating biodiversity crisis, and expectations are high that the summit will deliver a “Paris Agreement for nature”.
“Given that COP15 has been described as having the potential to be a Paris Agreement moment for biodiversity, it is critical that the eyes of the world are on these negotiations in Montreal. We are pleased to be bringing a cohort of 10 excellent journalists from around the world to report from the COP,” said Charlie Debenham, senior programme officer at EJN.
The open call drew 254 applications from environmental journalists around the world. The 10 selected fellows are:
- Diwakar Pyakurel, Online Khabar (Nepal)
- Kelesha Williams, Television Jamaica (Jamaica)
- Rebecca Marigu, National Broadcasting Corporation (Papua New Guinea)
- Shakoor Rather, Press Trust of India (India)
- John Muchangi Njiru, The Star Newspaper (Kenya)
- Li Wei Soon, Malaysian National News Agency (Malaysia)
- Maria Camila Bonilla, El Espectador (Colombia)
- Emilio Godoy, InterPress Service (Mexico)
- Juan Pablo Mayorga Garcia, Sin Embargo and Reporte Sandía (Mexico)
- Julia Evans, Daily Maverick (South Africa)
The trainers who will support and guide these fellows are:
- Mark Schapiro (United States)
- Amrita Gupta (United States)
Fellows will have the opportunity to report from COP15 for their home audiences, with support from EJN trainers. They will participate in orientation activities, daily briefings, and be guided to produce in-depth stories on negotiations and outcomes of the summit.
The fellowship, supported by Arcadia – a charitable fund of Peter Baldwin and Lisbet Rausing, and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) will strengthen journalists’ capacity to report on biodiversity issues and equip the public and policymakers in their home countries with the information they need to address the drivers of biodiversity loss.
Look out for the fellows’ stories on the EJN website in the coming weeks.

These illustrations are of native habitats that I consider to be not only beautiful, but sacred and to be treasured. The drawings are double page spreads reminiscent of a sketchbook. Green Swamp Savanna, Shaken Creek Savanna, and Roadside Wildflowers are coastal plain habitat images. The Vertical Bog and Spruce-Fir Forest are high elevation mountain habitats. Each drawing is a slice of place at a point in time. Click to show each whole page.

On this week's Snack Size Edition of Eat! Drink! Smoke!, Tony and Fingers go over another incident of bad behavior by a passenger on an airplane. It got so bad, that the flight crew had to duct tape the man to his seat. Why is this type of behavior seemingly becoming more common, and was the flight crew's actions justified?

Animal fur has been a serious faux pas for seasons – designers such as Gucci, Burberry and Versace are refusing to work with it, fashion editors like Anna Dello Russo won’t wear it, and even the Queen of England has renounced it. Entire countries are banning fur farming – Poland and France are the latest nations to add their names to the list, and both Israel and the UK are considering a ban on the trade itself, thus prohibiting the sale and import of it. In short, fur has seriously fallen out of favour with today’s consumers.
So why are we still wearing it on our faces?
Faux lashes, and salon treatments that offer them, are a beauty staple – all kinds of extensions, from glue-on to semi-permanent versions, are widely available. But few faux-lash lovers actually pause to think about what the falsies are made of. Many people who love the look of faux lashes have no idea that what they are wearing is actually mink fur. Most consumers assume that lashes are synthetic – or simply don’t think about it. After all, fur is the last thing you’d expect to find at the beauty counter.
The truth is that mink lashes are no different from a mink fur coat; they’re natural yes, but they’re still cruel. They come from fur farms – where 85% of all the fur in the world derives from. Animals living in those places are removed from everything that’s natural to them, and endure extreme confinement in barren wire cages. Minks are semi-aquatic animals, who need access to water to swim in, which a fur-farm environment of course lacks. Undercover investigations from mink farms, even in countries that the industry is quick to call “high-welfare”, have seen animals suffering from thirst, starvation, neglect, and open wounds that were left untreated. Mink and other animals on fur farms are often killed by the cheapest methods available, which include being gassed, poisoned, or bludgeoned to death.
Brands selling mink lashes sometimes claim that mink are “brushed” to obtain the hair that is used to make the lashes. There isn’t much evidence to support this – the lashes are more likely to come from fur farms – but even if this were true, there would still be cruelty involved. Mink don’t need to be brushed. These wild animals are naturally afraid of humans, and any handling would be stressful to them, which means that they would be likely to attack whoever is doing the brushing. In any case, it’s highly unlikely that mink lashes came from “brushing”, and much more likely that they were obtained from animals who were killed for their fur.
What makes mink eyelashes – by any definition a vanity item – even more of a questionable purchase is the fact that European mink are critically endangered. Since 2015, these animals have been on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s extinction red list – meaning that the species’ numbers are rapidly dwindling. The species currently occupies only 20% of its former range. In Spain, the number of mink is only around 500. Knowing this, the notion of abusing these animals for fur (whether it’s for clothing or beauty) becomes even more problematic.
Luckily, the beauty industry is just as quick as fashion to move away from fur. Since animal rights organisations started calling out beauty brands for selling fur – because essentially, wearing mink eyelashes means wearing fur on your face – labels such as Sephora, Tarte, Too Faced and Urban Decay have vowed to eliminate mink lashes from their ranges and commit to only using vegan-friendly false lashes.
One of the latest beauty labels to go fur-free is Velour, the brand of lashes worn by Meghan Markle on her wedding day. “When it comes to cruelty to animals, fur eyelashes are no different from a fur coat,” says Elisa Allen, Director of PETA UK. “PETA is celebrating Velour’s decision to join Sephora, Tarte, Too Faced, Urban Decay, and the other beauty giants that are proudly fur-free.”
And fur-free certainly is the future – whether we’re talking about our wardrobes or our makeup collection.

The Maker Movement has been gaining momentum over the past 14 years with the publication of MAKE magazine in 2005 and the first Maker Faire sponsored by John Dougherty. The book titled Invent to Learn, 2nd Ed. (2019) has become what is known as the Maker’s Movement Bible. Written by Sylvia Libow Martinez and Gary Stager, the book goes into detail about how teachers and students can let loose their creativity in a myriad of ways if they are provided with space and materials to do so.
There have always been “makers” who used their hands, brains, and hearts to invent and produce the things that people use for work and play. Classrooms have long been known as places where students could be caught making things on any given day. Why the hype about maker spaces, then?
Perhaps it has to do with the disconnect that appears to have occurred due to the technology revolution that has moved learning through exploring with material objects to learning from screens. On our small campus in Northeast Ohio, we have seen a constant move toward emptying the library of books and journals in favor of digital texts. Getting a hard copy of a textbook from publishing companies is becoming more of a challenge as well. Students on all levels rely more on Google than library stacks to conduct their research. It may be that the pendulum, as it always does, is beginning to swing the other way, and humans are craving the need to get back to hands-on learning that can leave printing ink on your hands, and clay under your finger nails.

I’m a catholic and I hate his guts. It sickens Happy Im Mostly Peace Love Light And A Litte Go Fuck Yourself Shirt me how anyone can call themselves “Pro-Life” when what they really mean is anti-abortion because pro-life to live up to its name has to include all lives. It has to include black lives, immigrant children’s lives, gay lives. Of course, I’m also pro-choice and liberal so maybe I’m not the most textbook catholic to have a say. They don’t care about the actual number of abortions that take place, they only care about taking away the choice of having an abortion from as many women as they can (as long as they or their partners aren’t rich of course, they’ll make sure there’s always a workaround for those people).

We are not a monolithic group. We are pretty split down the middle. I’m very anti-abortion but also repulsed by Trump’s border policy. I know some who are very Happy Im Mostly Peace Love Light And A Litte Go Fuck Yourself Shirts pro-Biden and very pro-trump. A child is a large burden economically on an individual or couple. Since the woman has no choice over whether to end her pregnancy or not, would you support medicare for all people under the age of 18, so as not to burden a mother economically? I personally am a huge supporter of universal childcare and free secondary education while being deeply pro-life. I am also an anti-death penalty for the same reason.

The EPA announced a new guidance memo on September 30, 2021, withdrawing the previous guidance memo issued on October 9, 2020, that carved out exemptions for excess emissions in startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) events for larger emitters.

Following an evaluation of the carcinogenic risks posed by ethylene oxide (EtO), which the EPA released in 2016, and a follow-up National Air Toxics Assessment (NATA) for EtO, the EPA has decided that the health risks posed by EtO air emissions are “significantly higher” than previously believed.
In a final rule, the EPA has exempted air emissions from animal waste at farms from the emergency release notification requirements of Section 304 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA).
A two-pronged effort—one by the EPA and one by Congress—is under way to reform the Clean Air Act’s (CAA) New Source Review (NSR) program.

How to Travel for Maximum Joy
Traveling can be an exciting adventure, but sometimes it can be hard to keep the joy of spontaneous experiences alive. Whether it's a weekend getaway or a longer trip, I try to apply a few simple principals to my travel and the more I stick to them, the more fun I have.
Before embarking on any journey, make sure to grab a coffee before you hit the road. The first thing you should be doing every morning is finding, making, and consuming coffee. This seems like a joke or something that can be delayed; it is not.
Travel is more fun if you just accept the fact that you will make mistakes and wrong turns and unforeseen circumstances will delay or divert you. Those things are the joy of travel; not sources of frustration. A slight divergence in how you see the same situation will radically alter your enjoyment of it. While not always possible on minimal sleep, food, or patience- you can often switch your brain to the right spot by reminding yourself this is an adventure.
It's completely normal to feel a certain level of stress when you're traveling. After all, you're in a new environment, potentially far from home, and things might not always go as planned. But it's important to remember that these are all part of the travel experience.
Instead of stressing over what might go wrong, try to focus on what's going right. Maybe your flight was delayed, but that gave you an extra hour to finish that book you've been engrossed in. Perhaps you got lost trying to find a restaurant, but you stumbled upon a great little café.
In order to do this without stress, you need to strategically plan your travel in a way that leaves space for synchronicities to happen. A tight schedule makes everything stressful and should be avoided when traveling for pleasure.
Sometimes, when you're traveling, you can come across amazing opportunities and experiences that you didn't even know were possible. Make sure to leave some room in your schedule and your heart to be open to these unexpected moments - you never know what you'll find if you just go with the flow.
When traversing new landscapes, whether it's bustling city streets or quiet country roads, it's crucial to remember we're sharing these spaces with others. This principle is integral to maintaining harmonious relationships with locals and fellow travelers alike.
If you're meandering through a city, make sure to step to the side when stopping to gaze at the architectural wonders or consult your map. This simple gesture helps prevent pedestrian traffic jams and signals respect for the city's rhythm and the people who live there.
The same applies when riding a motorcycle or driving. Pay attention to your surroundings and ensure you're not obstructing traffic when you stop to take in the view or check your route. Strategically design your stops to be safe and considerate, perhaps choosing a designated lookout point or parking space rather than pulling over haphazardly.
When traveling with others, disagreements are inevitable. Here's a simple, three-step approach to navigate them:
- Listen: Ensure everyone involved has the chance to express their view without interruption - take a break to cool down before doing so if necessary.
- Compromise: Find a middle ground that may not be perfect but is acceptable to all parties.
- Move on: Don't dwell on the disagreement. Remember, you're here for the adventure and shared experiences.
Traveling, especially on a motorcycle, can be a very economical way to see the world. Camping out under the stars, cooking meals over an open fire, and immersing yourself in nature can not only create memorable experiences but save money but also.
Utilize budget accommodations like campsites or motels when needed, eat at local diners or cook your own meals with ingredients from local markets, and take advantage of the free beauty that the great outdoors has to offer. This type of travel gives you an authentic connection with the place and its people without costing a fortune.
But just because you're traveling on a budget doesn't mean you can't indulge once in a while. If you find yourself in Maine, it might be worth splurging on some fresh oysters straight from the sea. Or maybe you pass through Kentucky and decide to treat yourself to a bottle of locally distilled bourbon.
It's about finding a balance between frugality and enjoyment. Yes, travel economically, but remember to savor those unique regional delights that you won't find anywhere else. Because at the end of the day, these are the experiences that make your journey unforgettable.
Allowing occasional splurges doesn't mean throwing caution to the wind. You can set aside a 'treat yourself' budget for those unique local experiences and stick to more economical options otherwise. This approach ensures you don't miss out on regional specialties while keeping your finances in check.
Planning for travel can provide a sense of structure and security, but it's equally important to remain open to spontaneous experiences and listen to your own energy levels. Your plans serve you, not the other way around.
Plan But Stay Flexible: Begin by creating a plan that includes must-see spots or activities. However, consider these plans as options rather than obligations. This way, you've created a safety net of planned activities without anchoring yourself to them.
Tune Into Your Energy: Pay attention to how you're feeling each day. If you wake up exhausted, don't force yourself to stick to a plan that involves a lot of physical activity. It's okay to have a slow day, rest, or explore something less demanding. Travel is about enjoyment, not endurance.
Spontaneity Over Schedule: Leave ample room in your schedule for unexpected adventures. This might mean exploring a local market recommended by a friendly local or spending the afternoon getting lost in a beautiful neighborhood you just discovered.
Embrace Change: Plans can change due to external factors like weather or closures, or internal factors like mood or energy levels. Instead of seeing this as a disruption, view it as an opportunity for an unexpected adventure.
Safety, of course, should never be compromised. Being spontaneous doesn't mean being reckless. Always stay informed about local risks and safety guidelines and above all: trust your instincts.
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, but learning to dance in the rain. This applies fittingly to travel as well. When planning a trip, it's easy to become preoccupied with weather forecasts and dread the possibility of rain ruining your carefully planned adventure. But in reality, these concerns only serve to drain your energy and cast unnecessary worry over your journey.
Rain or shine, travel is about experiencing a place authentically and completely. Weather is an integral part of any destination's charm and identity – it can shape landscapes, inspire cultures, influence cuisine and determine local lifestyles. To reject or fear an aspect of this because it may bring discomfort or inconvenience is contrary to the true spirit of travel.
Embracing potential rainy days with open arms involves changing our perspective on what 'good' travel looks like. Sure, sunshine may be ideal for a picture-perfect beach day or city sightseeing tour but consider this: how ethereal would a misty forest hike be? Or how atmospheric would a quiet mountain valley appear after a downpour? Sometimes it’s these unpredictable conditions that can lead to unforgettable moments.
My proclivity for overpacking, Ms. Beckford told me, comes from a place of pessimism and a “scarcity mentality,” whereby I’m constantly imagining everything that could go wrong on a trip and trying to pack accordingly. That negativity can color a trip from the start.

UAlberta research has impact on U.S. medical guidelines
Posted by Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry Staff on May 23, 2013
(Edmonton) Cardiac research from the University of Alberta had serious impact as a source for the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association’s new guidelines on how to treat patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
Michael Zaugg, Eliana Lucchinetti and Barry Finegan with the U of A’s Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry have shown that a new treatment done with patients just before surgery may not be as beneficial as once thought.
Previous research has shown that volatile anesthetics, when paired with an opiate as sedation for surgery, are extremely protective of the heart because they activate the organ’s own protection mechanisms. Just recently, a new treatment was added to the list, which sees physicians put a blood-pressure cuff around the leg or arm to restrict blood flow in the area, allowing a number of molecules to accumulate in the area. When the cuff is released, those agents get into the bloodstream and move to the heart, where they induce protection. This process is called remote ischemic preconditioning.
“I think there is significant interference between these treatments, and it doesn’t really help to add more,” said Zaugg. “It may also have some side-effects because these people sometimes already have problems with perfusion [lack of blood flow] of their legs, so it may cause damage too.”
For the study, the researchers collected cardiac tissue samples at the Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute. Zaugg and Lucchinetti measured the gene expression of the entire patient’s genome, and also measured biomarkers that are important in cardiac function and the inflammatory response. The study was published in the journal Anesthesiology in 2012.
The American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association used this study, along with Zaugg’s previous work and others’ research, to help develop guidelines for treatment.
“We are proud to be part of these endeavours and we contributed significantly to the release of the guidelines,” said Zaugg. “We had a lot of great feedback for this work.”
His work will now focus on how volatile anesthetics affect or interfere with stem cells in the heart.
Zaugg and Lucchinetti’s work was funded by the University of Alberta Hospital Foundation, and by grants from the Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute and the Swiss National Science Foundation.

Negotiation is all about reaching an agreement. Normally, the examples given are less complex and more common. However, the strategies taught in Think Like A Negotiator were derived from many of my experiences as a Government Contracts Official. This post will address a more complex contract situation and how the same Think Like A Negotiator principles were applied.
Sometimes if you can’t reach an agreement, someone has to make a decision of what move to make. That happened when I was in the Air Force as a warranted Contracting Officer. What that means in simpler terms is that I had the unlimited authority on the warrant (another term may be appointment or certification document) to bind the Government on contract actions. There were approvals required at certain dollar amounts from higher-ranking personnel or headquarters. Legal review was also required over a certain dollar amount. Legal was for opinion, the final decision rested with the Contracting Officer.
I had a situation once where I had to make a decision about when the Government Program Office should provide a report of services received so payment could be processed. The contract was a $104 million dollar contract. The monthly invoice was hundreds of thousands of dollars. Delay in payment could adversely affect the contractors ability to operate.
They delivered their invoices on the first of the month. The Governments payment policy is Net 30 days after receipt of invoice. The receipt of invoice didn’t start until it was received by the Contracting Office. The Program Office had to sign off on receipt of services by attaching what was known as a “Receiving Report” to the invoices. I as the Contracting Officer would review and sign off on approval of the invoices and send them to the Finance Office to process the payment.
There was another part of the contract that required the Contractor to submit several monthly reports to the Program Office by the 10th of the month following performance. Those reports took longer to prepare and the Program Office would sit on the invoices until those reports were delivered. That could delay payment by a week or more.
The Contractor came to me to solve this problem. I set up a meeting and did some research on the issue (Prepare In Advance) before the meeting. I thought about what questions I wanted to ask (Ask Powerful Questions), what solution I thought I’d like to reach and the possibility of resolving the issue in one meeting.
I met with representatives from the Program Office and the Project Manager, Contracts and other Managers from the Contractors office. We had a lengthy discussion. The problem was deciding what month of performance the reports were part of. Were they part of the previous months performance since they were reporting on that month’s performance? For example if the invoices were delivered to the program office in July for performance in the month of June and the reports for June were also delivered in July, would those reports be considered as performance during the month of June or July?
The Program Office considered them performance during the month of June, which is why they held up processing the Receiving Report for payment until the reports were received. The Contractor considered them to be performance during the month of July and thought that payment should not be held up for these reports to be received by the Program Office.
There was no resolution during the first meeting. I set up a meeting with the Program Office, the legal office, and myself to get their take on the situation (Consult with Experts). The legal office thought it could go either way. The decision was up to me to decide what was Fair and Reasonable for all concerned. Remember, that is the first thing you have to think about in any negotiation situation. Fair implies a proper balance of conflicting interests, reasonable means not extreme or excessive.
I had to decide what month performance occurred for the submission of the reports. I did some research to see if I could find any precedents in case law (Verify the Facts, Read It) and asked some opinions of my colleagues and commander in the Contracting Office (Consult with Experts/Higher Authority).
I knew whatever decision I made was going to be unpopular with one side and popular with the other (Own Your Power). After consideration of the facts, I made the decision that the performance of the submission of the reports occurred in the month they were submitted. In other words, if the June reports were submitted in July, the month of performance for submitting the June reports occurred in July, not June and therefore, the payment should not be held up waiting for the previous months reports to be submitted.
I put it in writing as a “Contracting Officer’s Decision” (Get It In Writing) and sent it to all parties concerned. Of course I had to Leave Emotion Out when the Program Office contacted me and went on a rant about why my decision was wrong and that they were sure the legal office agreed with them. I reminded them that the decision was mine and the legal office was there for advice only and they weren’t the final authority and if they had a problem with it their commander could speak to mine (Use Your Leverage/Influence).
Looking back on it today, I still believe I made the right decision. It could have gone either way but I felt the Contractor’s payment didn’t need to be held up waiting for a report that was suppose to be submitted by the 10th day of the month in the following month.
Think Like A Negotiator strategies are the same whether it’s a multi million dollar contract, a landlord tenant dispute (see previous blog post here – http://thinklikeanegotiator.com/2015/10/anatomy-of-a-negotiation-landlord-tenant-dispute/) or where to meet for dinner. The strategies are the same, how you execute them will be different for each situation. The Power is in The Work!

Moonshine Old Fashioned
Maybe it's our Tennessee roots that make us love moonshine. Maybe it's our memories of days gone by. Perhaps it's the stories that Eli shares about his days up in the holler. Regardless, moonshine is more versatile than many people realize.
We figured we'd prove that point with this cocktail - the Moonshine Old Fashioned.
By simply swapping out moonshine for bourbon with our Old Fashioned Cocktail Mixer, you'll have a delightful new spin on something old. We've chosen to garnish ours with a moonshine-soaked cherry, but if all else fails, skip the garnish and keep it simple.
2 oz. Moonshine
1 oz. Eli Mason Old Fashioned Cocktail Mixer
Moonshine-Soaked Cherry for Garnish
Add moonshine and our Old Fashioned Cocktail Mixer to a cocktail mixing glass with ice. Stir to chill and strain into a glass (or drinkin' jar) with a couple of ice cubes. Garnish with cherry and serve.

Patients can lose permanent teeth for a number of reasons, including dental infection and accidents. No matter how a patient loses a tooth, however, it is imperative that he or she seeks treatment for this issue as soon as possible. Today our Elmhurst dental implant dentists are answering questions about dental implant technology and placement. Want to learn more? Read on!
Q: How do I know if I am a viable candidate for dental implants?
A: When you meet with our dentist we can help you figure out if dental implants are right for you. Many patients who have missing teeth can benefit from dental implants. It is important, however, that you have sufficient bone density to support a dental implant. Patients with diminished bone density may require bone grafts prior to dental implant placement.
Q: How long does it take to complete dental implant placement?
A: Generally, the entire dental implant treatment process takes a few months to complete. This is because after the first stage of treatment—in which we surgically implant the titanium root of your dental implant—we have to allow the surgical site to heal before we complete your restoration. The healing process usually takes a month or two, after which point we will cap your dental implant root with a natural looking restoration.
Q: How long do dental implants last?
A: With proper maintenance, dental implants can last for twenty years before they need to be replaced. Once your implants are in, you’ll be able to enjoy a stunning, sturdy smile for years.
If you want to learn even more about dental implants, give our Elmhurst dental implant dentist office a call. During your consultation we will determine whether you can benefit from dental implants. We can also help you visualize what your post-treatment smile will look like!

One of the reasons I started writing my blog was because I realized how certain political factions were manipulating public perception in order to gain control of the public policy agenda. As I studied how the public is manipulated I started to understand that the underlining factor is that the facts were just inconvenient obstacles for those hijacking the public agenda. Of course, hypocrisy is a requirement because the intent is not better government but how best to manipulate the system in order to make money off it. Lately, Cortney Niland has been the focus of many of my blog posts because frankly, she represents everything that is horrible about El Paso.
Some of you are tired about reading about Cortney Niland and you have clearly let me know. Others are just angry that she has figured so prominently when I point out the things that are wrong about El Paso. There are, of course, those that have realized that if they don’t do something, Cortney Niland’s usefulness as a politician to drive the current public policy agenda will be coming to an end soon, unless they intervene. Those individuals would love nothing more than to see my blog go away.
You may have noticed a couple of comments on Monday’s blog threating me about censoring comments on my blog. I will not bore you with the details but it is suffice to say that I relish comments on my blog, the more the better it is for me. I rarely engage readers on my comments section because I believe my blog allows me to make my point and the comments section gives you an opportunity to make your opinion known. Engaging in a conversation through the comments section only leads to a battle of who has the last word. I want my readers to feel comfortable expressing their opinions without feeling that I will shut them out by replying or defending my post every time someone comments.
Basically, I like my blog to be a place where I express my opinion and readers, such as yourselves, can express you opinion about what I wrote earlier. It doesn’t matter to me whether you agree or not with me because I realize not everyone agrees. I do enjoy the commentary though.
Obviously, I hit a nerve with my Monday blog as evidenced by the full-court press launched against me through emails and the two comments making threats about censorship. Some of you may have noticed that my blog was offline for a few hours as well yesterday. This reaction to my latest blog about Cortney Niland, I believe, has been orchestrated because the truth is the first casualty of political propaganda.
The commentary on my blog and David Karlsruher’s blogging about my topics and me are a knee jerk reaction to my exposing the truth that some do not want you to see. The fact is that El Paso is being overtaxed because of a misguided public policy agenda focused on giving playgrounds to a few of the city’s elite. To be clear, the activities against my blog are multifaceted because those who support the public policy agenda need to silence my criticism of Cortney Niland and the public policy agenda.
I have written previously about how economic terrorism is applied to those in El Paso that do not want to go along with those that are driving the public policy agenda. They use many tools; among them is additional scrutiny by government officials at all levels up to and including threatening the economy viability of those who dare to criticize. I have written many blogs giving you examples of this. Since I am no longer in El Paso and my economic activities are no longer dependent on El Paso, it has become harder to silence me. However, that has not stopped them from trying.
The fact that they have increased their attempts to silence me recently only reinforces my belief that I am getting through to some individuals in El Paso who can affect change and they are afraid of that. Because I do not normally engage with commenters on my blog or because I do not always share with you what it is they do does not mean I am not cognizant of how and why certain things are happening. The two comments on my article on Monday are nothing more than an attempt to create a perception that I am writing about Cortney Niland because of some nefarious reason or because I have picked one political faction over another. Like all propagandists, the truth is just an obstacle to their goal.
Niland’s cohorts have been attempting to create the illusion that I pick on her and her friends because I am like the useful idiots I regularly write about. They cannot help it because that is the environment they live in and therefore they assume everyone else does the same thing. After all, they have been relying on useful idiots to control public discussion for many years now.
The two comments on Monday’s blog are intended to serve two purposes; one is to create a search engine optimization (SEO) element for search results for Niland’s future run for office. They are also an attempt to discredit my reasons for blogging. I realize that pointing out to propagandists that my two largest clients in El Paso are the City of El Paso and the County of El Paso is irrelevant to them. However, how that simple fact somehow dictates the topics I choose to write about is beyond me. Of course, the facts are just an inconvenience for those that don’t want the truth to be known.
Yesterday Cortney Niland officiated the city council meeting. It was her opportunity to attempt to revitalize her public persona before the voters. I believe she prepared for her appearance before the electorate as the presiding officer. It was politically expedient for her to do this and proper for a viable political future. However, this was a multifaceted and well-orchestrated attempt by her and her enablers to take back control of the public perception about politics in El Paso.
There are two things you should be aware of to better understand how the public’s perception is being manipulated. The issue that is dogging her currently is the fact that she is not sitting where she should be at the dais. As much as her useful idiots try to distract from that fact, unfortunately for her, the electorate is well aware of it.
As part of that issue is the issue of the cost to setup a working station for Ann Morgan Lilly in the area that Niland pushed her to. The inconvenient truth is that Ann Morgan Lilly has been dislodged from her seat by Cortney Niland. Because of this, it will end up costing the taxpayers about $6,000 to rectify that inconvenient fact.
That is right; the taxpayers will pay about $6,000 because Cortney Niland does not want to sit where tradition has had her predecessors sitting before. Rather than address this cost directly, Niland and her cohorts deleted the item from the agenda to discourage public commentary on it and to hide the facts.
Without publicly voting on the issue, city council has agreed to shift taxpayer monies to pay for a workstation that is only needed because of Niland’s actions. We do not know exactly how much it is going to cost because city council agreed to pay for it behind closed doors. If that is not corrupt then nothing is! We think it may be $6,000 but we really do not know.
That is right, rather than vote publicly on this issue, city council chose to “wink-wink”, we’ve got the problem resolved by shifting money from one place to another keeping the public from participating on how their money is spent. Notice also, how instead of addressing the issue directly about the seating arrangement the city has been deflecting the discussion with the notion that the city charter does not require a certain seating arrangement for city council representatives.
What about the cost to the taxpayers?
Isn’t that reason enough to have an open and public discussion about the expenditure and the reasons for it? Of course not because to allow that would destroy the public perception that has been so carefully crafted.
The unnecessary behind-closed-doors expenditure you witnessed yesterday to fix Cortney Niland seating problem and the comments and attacks upon my blog are just the beginning of what is to come.
The truth is the first casualty in the manipulation of the public discussion. Anyone exposing the truth is the target. The $7,000 behind-closed doors deal is just pennies to what is to come from those needing to keep Cortney Niland in play.

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act is a law that was enacted in 1977. It makes it illegal for US citizens to give bribes to foreign government officials to facilitate a business deal. Basically, if a businessman gives the Juárez mayor, for example, a bribe to allow a store to be opened in the city, he could be prosecuted under US law. As you likely know, although illegal, most of you understand that to get a government official in Mexico to process an application, most times it requires some type of bribe. This is not limited to Mexico, as a matter of fact, most recent prosecutions involve countries like China and others in the Middle East.
Most of you reading this today have probably heard about the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act in terms of large companies ensnarled bribery controversies in other countries. For example, in October, the pharmaceutical company, Bristol-Myers Squibb agreed to pay $14 million to settle charges that some of its employees made improper payments for larger sales in China.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) through the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) predominantly investigate allegations under this act. Although bribery can be prosecuted in the United States under various laws, there are issues of jurisdiction that created the need to prosecute bribery by US citizens who bribed outside of the jurisdiction of the US laws. Although criminal penalties are included in the law, almost all of the cases are settled through fines, because most of the companies implicated reach settlement agreements with the government.
One aspect of the law that is not largely understood is that it is not only a violation of the law to bribe foreign government officials directly, but it is also a violation to knowingly allow an underling or consultant to bribe on your behalf. For example, a company hires a Mexican realty consultant to acquire warehouse space and the consultant bribes an official for the proper land use permissions. Although the US citizen was not involved directly with the bribery, their benefit of the rental agreement may expose them to charges under the anti-corruption law.
There have been business owners that have been sentenced to jail for bribing government officials. Like most laws that require a substantial investment in resources to investigate and prosecute the violations of the law, there is a threshold that allows some violations to remain unprosecuted.
So those of you that pay a bribe to a traffic officer in Juárez to get out of receiving a traffic ticket can rest easy knowing that it is unlikely that the FBI will put handcuffs on you anytime soon. To be clear, I am advocating that you bribe the Juárez traffic cops. I am just letting you know that bribing a Juárez traffic cop is something the FBI probably wouldn’t bother to investigate.
Because El Paso sits on the border with Mexico and much of the business activity involves cross border trade it is likely that bribery is part of the business environment. We already know that a culture of corruption exists on both sides of the border – Cd. Juárez and El Paso.
I have been documenting corruption in El Paso and have begun to create linkages between questionable activities in El Paso and families connected to powerful Mexican politicians. As you are likely well aware, there have been recent controversies with land acquisitions on both sides of the border.
Much of this has to do with the Maquila industry.
Since NAFTA was implemented, Mexico has been taking giant strides to open up its markets to the rest of the world. As a result, many governmental owned utility and infrastructure entities are being privatized. Much corruption has been documented in the privatization of these assets under both PAN and PRI governments. Some of these assets are linked to individuals directly linked to various El Paso controversies.
As you probably know already, I’ll start to connect those dots for you on my blog. However, it is important that you understand the underlining topics so that the “dots” I’ll be developing make better sense to you.
As a reminder, although corruption is generally defined legally as an exchange of money or valuables in return for special treatment, it has also been my contention that corrupt behavior is also a government official not doing their job because it might make an important individual uncomfortable or because it might expose someone to criminal penalties. It is my belief that the selective enforcement of the laws is also a corrupt behavior.

How do you do high and low rows?
Can you do rows with a tricep bar? The tricep bar allows you to perform heavy bent over rows in a small space, unlike a larger barbell, making it perfect for a home gym or for performing rowing exercises in a busy gym.
How do you target biceps with rows?
Are rows the best for back? Rowing exercises are the best way to pack on tons of size to your back. Rows should be the bulk of your back workout. Pull-ups and wide-grip pulldowns are great for building width, but rows will pack on that thick look that every guy strives for (or should).
How do you improve renegade rows?
What do cable rows train? Seated cable rows increase upper-body strength by activating multiple muscle groups throughout the body, including back muscles like the latissimus dorsi in your middle back, the erector spinea muscles, the rhomboids in your upper back, and the lower trapezius.
How do you do high and low rows? – Related Questions
Why are lat pulldowns harder than rows?
Moving your body through a plane of motion is said to be more “natural” and more difficult than moving a weight through the same plane of motion. However, the weight on the lat pulldown is actually harder to stabilize and control because there is nothing keeping your body in place.
Do rows work entire back?
A seated row is a strength training exercise that works the biceps and upper back which places it among the best upper back exercises.
What are Aussie rows?
Australian Pull Ups or rows are a Bodyweight Row. • The exercise consists on hanging under a low bar with. your arms straight and your feet on the ground.
What do high rows do?
The machine high row is a fantastic pulling exercise to train your back muscles and biceps. As the movement occurs at the shoulder and elbow, it is a compound movement and can train a lot of muscle mass and allow for heavy loads.
How do you do rows with exercise bands?
How many reps of back rows should I do?
Hold it there for a second or two, and then lower the bar back down under control, taking another breath in. Because it lends itself to training heavy, the bent-over barbell row is usually performed for sets of 6 to 12 reps, but it can be done for higher rep ranges to train the endurance of the lower back and core.
Can you build back with only rows?
Rows and pull ups are enough for your mid and upper back, however, your lower back will be neglected. Performing exercises with varying grips and angles will get the most out of your back training, and back extensions or deadlifts should be included to target the erectors (low back).
Do rows target mid back?
You can even tweak the row slightly to target different parts of your back: “Pulling the weight higher to your chest works your upper-back muscles while pulling the weight closer to your waist works your mid-back muscles,” she explains.
What muscles work with upright rows?
If you’re looking to increase shoulder and upper back strength, look no further than the upright row. This exercise targets the traps, which span the upper to mid back, and the deltoids, which wrap around your shoulder.

Interview Mistakes to Avoid
An interview is an integral part of recruitment process. There is no escape from that. If you have to land in a job, your CV and a satisfactory interview are the most important factors.In my previous post I have mentioned How to Prepare CV. Having said that, in this post I will be covering the 10 interview mistakes that everyone needs to avoid!
An interview is a process whereby the recruiter or employer meets a prospective employee who he wishes to recruit. You must understand that the interviewer or employer is not there to pass his free time.
You have prepared your CV well and you are at the interview. Here are the interview mistakes that you need to avoid. I am listing the interview mistakes in descending way:
10. Interview mistake : Lack of Company research
One of the fundamental mistakes that the candidates do is to not research enough on the organisation that has called them for interview. It is very important that you learn the basic details about the company. Yes…. mission, vision, number of employees form a part of this. But you could do better by studying the sector in which the company is doing business. Companies these days look for candidates who think out of the box. Be prepared to mention about how the industry as a whole is performing. Do not limit yourself to mission, vision. Everyone does it. Be different.
9. Interview Mistake : I am a Perfectionist
Do not give an impression that you are a perfectionist. You always must give an imporession that you yearn to be a perfectionist. No human is perfect. All of us have some weaknesses. So do not try and put on a mask and convey you are a perfectionist. Be truthful.
8. Interview Mistake : Focussing only on what you did
These days the companies are looking for people who do good in a team. Therefore bragging about your individual achievements will not yield the desired results. Tell them how you have exhibited your talents in a muti-cultural team i=of individuals and how you managed to succeed with the help of your team.
7. Interview Mistake : Not ending with a conversation
Often, the interviewees do not seek clarification or ask questions to the interviewer. An interview is a perfect platform for you to quiz about the organisation structure and other company related information to the interviewer. So come out of shell and let them know you probe well on matters that are related to the company.
6. Interview Mistake : Focussing only on the JOB
Most candidates give 100% attention to their previous jobs. An interviewer might also be interested in your hobbies and talents that you have other than the Jobs you did in the past. In your introductory address also mention what your hobbies and interests are other than your job.
5. Interview Mistake : Tense and Nervous
The last thing an interviewer wants is a Nervous employee. If you exhibit tension and nervous, you may end up eliminated. Do not twitch your palms. Be confident. Show your confidence by speaking firmly on points. Give examples of how you achieved that one thing that no one could achieve in your previous job. Sweating and nervousness should be the last thing that should occur while on interview.
4. Interview Mistakes : Rambling during the interview
Do not wander away from questions that the interviewer has asked. Do not provide unrelated answers. If you are not aware of the answers do not provide wrong answers.
3. Interview Mistake : Late follow up
After the interview do not forget to take the contact details of the interviewer. Once home, do not forget to send a follow up note mentioning how excited you are with regard to the job and how positive you feel. This is a good thing to do. Remember, interviewers like this attitude.
2. Interview Mistake : Going through recruitment Solo
You are aware of an opening. You decide to go alone without informing your friends who are also looking for a job. Let everyone who are interested among your friend circle know about the interview and if interested give them the details of the interview if they also wanted to attend. Going solo is the last thing you do. Do not be selfish.
1.Interview Mistake : Silently standing in the Line
You have gone for a job fair and you are standing in the corner in a line, waiting for you turn to arrive. Bad news is that, that chance might never arrive. Quiz, query, ask questions to every recruiter. Break that ice. Recruiters like that. They like a person who is outgoing and takes initiatives on his own without waiting for his turn to arrive. Not only at the job fair but also in other conditions, if you have spotted a vacancy on the company website or recruitment agency site, do not wait to send your CV. Pick up that phone and dial that number. Chances are that you may directly connect with the recruiter and when you send your CV they will be able to put a tone to the CV. Helps a lot.
Avoiding these interview mistakes has helped me a lot. Hope they do help you as well.
Comment with suggestions and other points that you might know. Avoid these interview mistakes and you will definitely be successful.

Welcoming the famous cultural figure in Armenia, President Sargsyan noted with satisfaction that the festival will provide the opportunity to enjoy the art of virtuoso violinist, conductor Maxim Vengerov, admire his talent and feel the maestro’s affection for the Armenian people.
The President believes that the multitude of classical music festivals and concerts regularly held in Armenia are meant to advocate and promote musical education among the rising generation, which evidence the Armenian people’s adherence to the everlasting true values of high art.
Appreciating the valuable contribution made by Maxim Vengerov and the other notorious musicians who have come to Armenia to promote musical education, Serzh Sargsyan thanked Armenian young performers for the provision of inspirational master classes.
“We are undoubtedly grateful to you for your participation in the 2015 concert dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide in Brussels, which reaffirmed your commitment to universal values,” the President of Armenia emphasized.
“Honorable Mr President, as a musician, I am pleased to hear from you about those values that are important to me. Any nation keen on universal cultural values and music in particular, is entitled to a great future in every area. Thank you very much for your support and dedication to culture and specifically music. In anticipation of my Yerevan concert, I hope to get a warm welcome on the part of the Armenian audience,” world-renowned musician Maxim Vengerov said.

How does sport climbing work at the Olympics? Rules, format and score system
Discover the Olympic climbing at Tokyo 2020. How to score, what modalities are there and everything you need to know this new olympic discipline.
Tokyo 2020 will be the first Olympics where climbing is an official sport. At this year's Olympics, the new Olympic sports are: surfing, skateboarding, karate, baseball and climbing. Olympic climbing is a sport that consists of climbing a wall with the help of guides and ropes. It is an individual sport where climbers compete for medals along three different disciplines: speed climbing, bouldering, and lead climbing.
What are the differences between the Olympic climbing disciplines?
Although the three disciplines belong to the same sport, there are many differences between the three styles:
How is sport climbing scored?
The climbing score in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics depends on the position in which each athlete finishes in each discipline. The place of each climber is multiplied among themselves and the climber with the lowest score is the winner.
For example, if a climber has these marks: 2nd in speed climbing, 1st in bouldering and 6th in lead climbing, his score will be 1x2x6 = 12.
To get the best final score, the climber must have a last "controlled" grip. If the last grip is not complete, the score will be worse.If the last grip is good, the "+" symbol will be added to the final score.

Bucs agree to terms with safety Logan Ryan; Brady and Ryan to reunite
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost Jordan Whitehead, but acquired the veteran defensive back Logan Ryan, who is about to reunite with quarterback Tom Brady.
The New York Giants Safety Logan Ryan, who won two Super Bowls in four seasons playing with Tom Brady in New England, is about to reunite with the Tampa Bay quarterback.
Following New York’s release of the 31-year old veteran defensive back on Thursday evening, Ryan agreed to a one-year contract with the Buccaneers, saving the Giants just $775,000 in cap space.
Ryan Logan "excited to be back with Brady"
“I fly down (to Tampa) Tuesday to figure out the rest of the terms,” Ryan told NFL insiders. “I’m excited to be back with Brady.”
The long-time NFL veteran started 30 of the 31 games with the Giants, recording 211 tackles, 17 passes defensed, five forced fumbles and one interception.
During his time with the Tennessee Titans in 2017, Ryan famously intercepted Brady’s final pass as a Patriots’ quarterback. The two were bound to meet last season when the Giants played the Bucs in Tampa Bay, but Ryan didn’t make it to the game due to testing positive for covid 19.
The Buccaneers went for some experience and depth in the secondary after their safety Jordan Whitehead headed to the New York Jets.

The results of the 2023 Financial Times Masters in Management ranking, which annually lists the best master's degrees in management in the world, are now known, and Nova SBE maintains its outstanding position as national leader, consolidating its 15th place in the world.
At a time when human resource management has become critical for national companies, a study carried out by Cetelem-BNP Paribas Personal Finance, in partnership with NielsenIQ, reveals that in addition to salary issues, skills development and career plans are considered some of the most important initiatives to promote talent retention, and that "when it comes to Human Development, Education, Teaching and Training are top of mind words for the Portuguese".
AutoStore has published a new benchmarking report with feedback from over 300 warehouse management business leaders. Respondents indicated that the top three challenges facing organizations today are rising energy costs (32%), rising wages (27%) and supply chain and transportation constraints (26%). Therefore, cost reduction and investment in automation technology are among the priorities.
Working in procurement has never been harder. From supply chain disruptions to rapid price increases and subsequent reductions in transportation rates, from an inflation-ravaged goods economy to social media pressures affecting sales, the job has definitely changed. And not always for the better.
Quality in hiring is a crucial factor for a company's success. It involves the process of selecting and hiring people who have the skills, knowledge, and experience needed to perform their jobs effectively. Learn about the general metrics to consider suggested by the Adecco Group.

“(Boo-hoo!) Amateur love, I don’t care (laughs).”
When Hiroyuki Ariyoshi (48) said this while holding out an “X” sign, the four members of the comedy duo “Time Machine No. 3” and “Impossible” exclaimed, “Eek! and then they all fell down. On June 8, 2010, the four revealed on “Ariyoshi’s Wall” (NTV) that Eiji (39) of “Impossible” had a girlfriend. It was a story that they had put their backs into, but Ariyoshi brushed it off without a second thought.
About nine months after the broadcast, Eiji and a tall, beautiful woman resembling Minami Hamabe were spotted walking together in Shinjuku, where a spring breeze was blowing pleasantly. It was a little after 10:30 p.m., and Eiji was coming out of a convenience store in Kabukicho when he gently put his hand around her waist. They looked at each other with moist eyes and disappeared to a love hotel.
I wondered if this was the girlfriend in question. I talked to Eiji after work.
–I asked Eiji, after work, “Good evening, sir. The other day, I saw you entering a love hotel with a woman.
What? Yes, I did. Ah, ah, ah, ah…”
–I was wondering what I should do if it was an unfaithful partner. Are you sure it was the girlfriend you mentioned in “Ariyoshi’s Wall”?
Also, it’s a different girl and …… another …….”
–What? How did you meet her?
‘It’s a variety of …… (mouthing off). We recently started dating and ……”
The other woman, apparently a 24-year-old former underground idol, is ……. Is Ariyoshi interested in Eiji’s new love this time?

Territorial marketing, also called city marketing, is a concept that deals with the territory as a product.
It has some characteristics that differentiate it from other strategies to the ones we are more familiar with.
These differences when compared to traditional marketing are very interesting. Some of them are to focus on economic profitability but always based on ethical and sustainable practices that promote the growth, social and environmental wellbeing of the area in which it operates.
- What is territorial marketing?
- For what purpose is territorial marketing used?
- Factors that influence territorial marketing
- Territorial marketing and tourism
What is territorial marketing?
It is a marketing field aimed at designing local development actions in municipalities, cities or regions that provide value for the area in which they are located.
This value can stem from different areas, e.g. geography, climate, history, culture, etc.
In this new conception, a given territory is taken as a competitive product that can be differentiated and profitable.

To achieve these objectives, marketing connects supply with demand and focuses on creating relationships between the two parties.
In this case, the supply would be the territory itself and the demand would range from citizens, institutions, local businesses, external investors, non-resident owners, transient and long-stay visitors, among others.
Essentially, it is responsible for developing strategic plans to promote specific areas of interest, while improving the quality of life of the people who live there. Its actions are based on a sustainable context, which includes taking into account social welfare and environmental conservation.
When we refer to the strategies carried out by territorial marketing, we talk about actions based on:
- Integrated resource management
- Promoting economic development
- Working towards social welfare and social cohesion
- Defining environmental protection and management strategies
- Encouraging citizen participation
For a territorial marketing plan to be effective, the plan to be implemented must be dynamic and evolve over time, since the product it deals with, the territory, has a temporal dimension that needs constant adjustments.
For what purpose is territorial marketing used?
Thanks to its multidisciplinary approach, it is able to position a territory on a national and international level, projecting a strong and attractive image to the world.
To achieve differentiation and recognition, it is based on the competitive advantages that its area of action possesses. It requires branding work, defining the type of the desired positioning, projecting an image of quality, and proclaiming a brand purpose.
Among the benefits obtained with territorial marketing, we can highlight tourism development and the generation of wealth for the local economy, for example, by seeking external investment in the territory.
This urban marketing favours the evolution of the material and immaterial factors of an environment, in order to ensure that its capacity to attract and maintain interest does not wane while always aiming for sustainable development.
As a real example, we have the territorial marketing plan carried out in the Principality of Asturias in 2020.
The strategic plan involves the entire Asturian tourism sector, both public and private, and three strategic lines are defined:
- Strengthening, specialisation, and consolidation of the tourism products that headline the brand.
- Definition of the promotion plan with a clear product-demand focus, taking into account the segmentation of target audiences and priority markets.
- Optimisation of marketing channels to attract target audiences.
The result is a roadmap that serves as a driving force for socio-economic and cultural development, with the capacity to diversify the economy, generate wealth, create new jobs, encourage population growth in rural areas and promote the value of their natural and cultural heritage.
Factors that influence territorial marketing
It is not possible to create a viable and successful territorial marketing strategy without taking into account the factors that influence a region. We must take into account the cultural elements that define the identity of a particular society (language, way of relating to each other, its values and customs).
Nor can we ignore the socio-economic factor, for which various indicators such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP) or Domestic Product per capita will be used.
✏️ Recommended article: Motion Design: The Latest Trend in App and Website Design
Other influencing variables include demographics, geography, political, and even technological factors.
All levels of influence for an area must be taken into account when setting up an action plan in order to make it efficient.
Territorial marketing and tourism
Tourism marketing and territorial marketing should not be confused, as the latter does not only use a holiday or tourism approach but acts on the territory as a transforming element.
In order to achieve the objectives of sustainable growth, development and marketing plan are needed in addition to a tourism plan to achieve these objectives.
In order to increase the attractiveness of an area and reach the general public, territorial marketing uses applications that generate interactions between the user and the environment and help to increase its added value. Some examples are:
- Maps and geolocation to find and consult locations of interest quickly and easily.
- City guides and fact sheets where experiences and comments from other users can be presented, as well as valuable information that meets the needs and expectations of visitors.
- Interactive calendar of events and news. Promotes cultural activities, news about the area in real-time and allows this information to be shared through other channels such as social networks.
- Ticket sales for events, museums or places of interest. Saves printing costs and facilitates usage. It allows the creation of loyalty circuits with which to reward the most loyal users, for example through discounts or exclusive activities for them.

Territorial marketing combines and coordinates the efforts of public territorial policy and administration in its planning and action plans to provide quality services for residents, public employees, tourists, and national and international investors.
Its main objectives are to achieve not only improvements in the services offered, but also to function as a driving force for the social, economic, and environmental well-being of the area in which it operates.
After being subjected to a territorial marketing program, a given region will be able to grow in a responsible and sustainable way over time. The benefits for investors and inhabitants will go hand in hand with environmental wellbeing.
These actions will always be carried out in the long term because they involve different aspects (social, economic, cultural, and environmental) that need time to change and coordinate and to create a harmonious growth system, where all elements benefit.
If you are interested in creating an application focused on territorial marketing, you have a project or you need us to give you a hand, tell us briefly what you need. We will be happy to help you.

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by four cardinal motor symptoms including bradykinesia, tremor, rigidity, and postural instability, and non-motor symptoms including cognitive impairment. Daily activities, such as walking and maintaining balance, are impacted due to impairments in motor function, and are further exacerbated with the addition of cognitive loading, or dual-tasking (DT). High-intensity exercise has demonstrated centrally-mediated improvements of PD symptoms, with additional positive effects on overall health. The goal of this project was to identify changes in dynamic balance recovery and gait function under conditions with and without increased cognitive load after a high-intensity exercise intervention in a PD population. Participants included people with PD who completed an eight-week cycling intervention (PDE), people with Parkinson’s disease who did not complete the intervention (PDC), and healthy age-matched controls (HC), with 14 subjects per group. In Aim 1, while participants underwent a series of destabilizing balance tests, the time taken to regain balance and the center of pressure movement during balance recovery were measured. The PDE group demonstrated greater improvement in balance recovery after exercise compared with the PDC group. In Aim 2, participants completed a series of gait and cognitive tasks, both separately and concurrently. Outcome measures included spatiotemporal and kinematic gait parameters of the lower and upper extremities. The PDE group demonstrated significant improvement in gait measures and DT abilities compared to PDC, while no changes were found in cognitive function for any group. The standard clinical methods of measuring motor function can be subjective, and may not capture subtle motor characteristics. Force plate and motion-capture technologies can provide detailed, objective outcome data, therefore improving the understanding of how exercise affects motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. The Motek Computer Assisted Rehabilitation Environment (CAREN) system at the Cleveland Clinic was used to create the testing environment and for data collection. These results of this project suggest global changes in motor function demonstrated by changes in balance recovery and lower and upper extremity gait function. Quantitative gait analysis has shown to be an important metric in assessing effectiveness of an exercise intervention in PD.

Thiruvananthapuram: In view of the Orange alerts issued by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) for the coming week, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Sunday said those in hilly areas should be cautious and as a precautionary measure they should be shifted to relief camps as soon as rains start.
The Chief Minister, in a Facebook post, also said an order be issued prohibiting vehicular traffic to the hilly regions of the Western Ghats from 7 PM to 7 AM, district and taluk control rooms should be on alert 24X7, police and fire brigades should be ready for action and steps should be taken to prevent potential accidents due to trees, hoardings or posts being dislodged by strong winds.
He further said camps should also be set up in coastal areas and fishermen should not be allowed to go to sea.
Besides that, power houses and important institutions in low-lying areas which could get inundated due to the rains should take precautionary measures, water level in dams be monitored closely and the situation communicated to the district and state disaster management authorities in time, Vijayan said in his post.
He said people should be careful as, in the coming days, the rains were likely to intensify.
Orange alert has been issued in Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Pathanamthitta, Alappuzha, Kottayam, Ernakulam and Idukki districts of the state for August 1.

Quebec : Canadian police has said that a sword attack which killed two people and wounded five in Quebec city was premeditated, and charges are expected on the suspect, who has been arrested.
“There needs to be solidarity,” Xinhua news agency quoted Quebec City Mayor Regis Labeaume as saying at a news conference on Sunday.
“This tragedy adds to our collective mental load from the pandemic, we will do everything necessary to deal with the psychological consequences of the tragedy,” the Myor added
Labeaume was joined by Quebec deputy premier Genevieve Guilbault and Quebec City Police Chief Robert Pigeon on Sunday with an update on the events.
Pigeon said charges are expected, adding that the attack was premeditated and the 24-year-old suspect from Montreal was taken to a local hospital for evaluation.
The suspect has no previous criminal record and some of the five injured people suffered serious stab wounds, but that their lives are not in danger.
“I was devastated when I heard about this tragedy last night,” said Guilbault, recalling the Quebec City mosque attack less than four years ago.
“It reminded us all of the tragedy on the 29th of January, 2017, when six of our people in Quebec City died.”
The suspect was arrested at around 1 a.m. Sunday after police were first notified of the stabbings in the city, which is the capital of Quebec province, before 10.30 p.m. on Saturday.
“According to our initial information, there is no indication that the suspect may have acted on motives other than personal ones,” Quebec City police said on Sunday morning.
Earlier Sunday, Canadian politicians at all levels took to Twitter after the attack voicing their horror on the incident.
“My heart breaks for the loved ones of the two people killed in last night’s horrific attack in Quebec City,” wrote Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
“I’m also wishing a full recovery to the injured. We’re keeping you in our thoughts and will be there for you. To all the first responders, thank you for your critical work.”
Quebec Premier Francois Legault said: “Quebec wakes up after a night of horror. I do not have the words to describe such a tragedy.”

US Army/TRADOC Embroiled in Another Controversy
by John Stanton
“We call upon indigenous peoples in this country and around the world not to be fooled by these types of research projects, which usurp traditional knowledge without prior consent. Although researchers may initially claim to be conducting the projects in "good faith", said knowledge could be used against the indigenous peoples in the future. “UNOSJO is against this kind of project being carried out in the Sierra Juárez and distances itself completely from the work compiled by the México Indígena research team. ”
On January 14, 2009 the Union of Organizations of the Sierra Juarez of Oaxaca (UNOSJO) issued a press release accusing the principal researchers/managers of the Mexican Indigena—a program in the larger Bowman Expeditions —of unethical conduct for not fully disclosing that the US Army is a sponsor of the Bowman Expeditions. They also accuse the principals of geopiracy. According to a member of the anthropology community, “This is a nasty little story.”
“UNOSJO began looking into the México Indígena Project. The investigation revealed that México Indígena forms a part of the Bowman Expeditions, a more extensive geographic research project backed and financed by the FMSO [US Army's Foreign Military Studies Organization], among other institutions. The FMSO inputs information into a global database that forms an integral part of the Human Terrain System (HTS), a United States Army counterinsurgency strategy designed by FMSO and applied within indigenous communities, among others. Since 2006 the Human Terrain System (HTS} has been employed with military purposes in both Afghanistan and Iraq and according to what we have been able to determine Bowman Expeditions are underway in Mexico, the Antilles, Colombia and Jordan.
In November 2008, the México Indígena Project completed the maps corresponding to Zapotec communities San Miguel Tiltepec and San Juan Yagila. Contrary to the often-mentioned promise of transparency, México Indígena created an English-only web page, a language that the participating communities do not understand. Before the communities received the work, said maps had already been published on the Internet. Furthermore, the communities were never informed that reports detailing the project would be handed over to the FMSO. In addition to publishing the maps, the México Indígena team created a database into which pertinent information was entered: community member names and the associated geographic location of their plot(s) of land, formal and informal use of the land, and other data that cannot be accessed via the Internet.
According to statements made by those heading the México Indígena research team, this type of map can be used in multiple ways. They did not specify, however, whether they would be employed for commercial, military or other purposes. Furthermore, as the maps are compatible with Google Earth, practically anyone can gain access to the information. Yet only community members can decipher information expressed in Zapotec (toponyms), unless, of course, one has the capacity to translate them, as in the case of FMSO linguistic specialists.”
What;s in a Name: Stone Cold Racist Isaiah Bowman
While UNOSJO's claim of direct linkages between the Bowman Expeditions/Mexican Indigena (BEMI) and the HTS remain unsubstantiated at this time and may, indeed, be incorrect (a call to Lt. George Mace, PAO, of the HTS program could not returned in time for release), the fact is that US Army TRADOC owns the troubled HTS and a $500,000 chunk of the controversial BEMI--and the data that goes with both. As reported in prior pieces on the HTS, sources state that data from Human Terrain Mapping (HTM) for HTS does not remain compartmentalized but is shared with other US Army intelligence related databases. There is no reason to expect the BEMI data has been treated any differently. Furthermore, the BEMI appears to have accomplished what the HTS program promised but could not produce: a useful deliverable in the form of a user friendly geographic information system (GIS).
As one source put it, “Where HTS really dropped the ball was in successfully integrating the MAP-HT, which includes ArcGIS. HTT trainees are not even learning MAP-HT any more. It's a total free-for-all in the field for HTS social scientists working on their dissertations or post doctoral research. AFRICOM teams will include geo-spacial analysts. Someone, or a software company is really pushing for geospacial intelligence. This is what the Mexico project is about. It all makes sense now.”
According to an October 2006 article by Sophia Maines of the Lawrence Kansas Journal, The Bowman Expeditions are the brainchild of Jerome Dobson. Dobson believes that the BEMI and related efforts are good for national security, K-16 geography education, and business in Kansas (visit website).
“Dobson, a geography professor and president of the American Geographical Society, believes the United States needs to use another way to understand the world. And, for $125 million, the United States can get started on a new track. Dobson’s idea — called the Bowman Expeditions — would have geographers and graduate students canvass the globe, gathering intelligence that can inform the government and the public about the world. In the process, the Expeditions also would help revive the stature of the oft-marginalized academic discipline of geography. The Kansas City nonprofit SmartPort Inc [www.kcsmartport.com] is pressing ahead with plans to turn Kansas City into an inland port for shipments from Mexico, allowing goods to pass over the Mexican border freely and to go through customs in Kansas City...the research in Mexico also can benefit SmartPort planners by offering information about the areas along the Mexican railway.”
The Bowman of the Bowman Expeditions is the notable Isaiah Bowman. Christian Parenti, reviewing Neil Smith’s book on Isaiah Bowman, American Empire: Roosevelt’s Geographer and the Prelude to Globalization, for a 2003 edition of These Times, notes this about Bowman. “He helped draw up the modern border of Europe, helped shape America’s non-committal policy toward Jewish refugees from Nazism, and ran Johns Hopkins University and the Council of Foreign Relations. In all these capacities, he sought to harness ideas to the larger project of American commercial and political power on a global scale. But what strikes one most is Bowman’s opportunism: He was to the right of Roosevelt but subtly changed positions so as to always be in favor. He spent his life in the cloistered comfort of Ivy League universities and the inner sanctums of the executive branch. He was a stone-cold racist and anti-Semite who let Jews burn and talked of brown people in the global south as “smaller peoples” in need of control and guidance. One of his last acts of accommodation just before his retirement and early death was to passively allow a Hopkins colleague and social acquaintance, Owen Lattimore, to be red-baited by McCarthy and driven out of ajob.It was the perfect, politely brutal end to Bowman’s career, which is to say his life.”
What is US Army TRADOC Thinking?
Programs like the Human Terrain System and the Bowman Expeditions are typical examples of human terrain harvesting necessary for effective, non-kinetic, counterinsurgency (COIN) operations and to the national security strategy/tactics of the United States. On that front, a flurry of COIN manuals and COIN OpEds appearing in the New York Times has been compiled by Wikileaks. Reading through the US military manuals and between the lines, one discovers that cultural awareness/mapping is key to COIN which is key to defeating the “network of extremists”, as President Barak Obama puts it. And a key part of all that is the American people. At the US Government's Interagency Counterinsurgency Initiative, Americans viewing the logo might be a bit perplexed. It reads “Whole of Government, Whole of Society.”
It has been determined by the grand brains of the USA, that Americans need to understand more about other people, like the Mexicans. Dobson claims that one of the Bowman Expeditions' great by-products is that the human terrain data collected on another nation's soil will be helpful in schooling Americans on the where and why of other people on the planet. Will Americans also be taught about Bowman the “stone cold racist”. The US Army TRADOC/FMSO paid $500K for an affiliation with Bowman without checking what;s behind the name. Perhaps human terrain mapping ought to start with the US education system both public and private, student and teacher, from K to civilian PhD, and Colonel on up. Further, virtually all human terrain programs are destined to fail until evolutionary theory, evolutionary psychology and evolutionary cognitive neuroscience are included as baselines. Then again, 50 percent of the American people do not believe in evolutionary theory. And they are suppose to identify countries on a map and understand the human terrain there?
And Over at HTS
According to sources, nothing has changed and, perhaps has gotten worse. “The contract stated that when we reached Afghanistan that we would be paid on a 120 hour work week. Halfway through training that was changed to 90 then 80, and in January we were told that Steve Fondacaro (PM) has requested our contracting firm to cut our hours to 60. That is a 25% pay cut from what we had agreed on because of budget shortfall and mismanagement of funds. I will tell you that people are leaving the program in droves and those already in Afghanistan are furious. There are several who have quit also. We have sent memo after memo to Fondacaro and Steve Rotkoff (DPM) getting no response. Something is going on and it's easy for management to cut off funds for those who are doing the work and sticking their necks out.”
The following statement sums up the feeling of the many of the thirty sources behind this HTS series. It is shameful that the US Army TRADOC has allowed the current HTS state of affairs to persist. “As a former active duty officer I am utterly disgusted at the information I have received from various sources regarding the HTS program. This is certainly not the military that I once knew and I intend to do something about it. In the future, some of these people may be enjoying an extended stay in the Leavenworth area in government accommodations.”

Finite size and boundary effects in critical two-dimensional free-fermion models
Yerevan Physics Institute, Alikhanian Brothers 2, 375036 Yerevan, Armenia
Received: 25 April 2017
Received in final form: 23 June 2017
Published online: 28 August 2017
Here we will consider the finite-size scaling, finite-size corrections and boundary effects for the critical two-dimensional free-fermion models. A short review of significant achievements and possibilities is given. However, this review is still far from completeness. We derive the exact finite-size corrections for the set of free models of statistical mechanics, including Ising model, dimer model, resistor network and spanning tree model under different boundary conditions. We have shown that the partition functions of all these models can be written in terms of the only object, namely, the partition function with twisted boundary conditions.

Travis and Annabelle Johnson
Historically a point of passage, West Texas has fostered a community composed of artists both passing through and making the El Paso region their permanent home. Painters, printmakers, and draftsmen alike devoted themselves to capturing the border region’s unique landscape and culture. With EPMA’s rich collection of early Texas art alongside works from local collectors, this exhibition examines the border as waypoint and home. Through rarely exhibited paintings, prints, drawings, and photographs, Early West Texas begins with an overarching view of the region’s landscape, continually narrowing its focus to scenes of daily life and portraits of those who, at one point or another, have called El Paso home.
Support for this exhibition is provided by Travis and Annabelle Johnson, Texas Commission on the Arts, and the El Paso Museum of Art Foundation.

EquiJet Expands National Horse Show Sponsorship with $36,000 Accumulator Class
Lexington, Ky. – Oct. 21, 2019 – Already the Official Equine Air Transportation Provider and a prominent supporter of the popular equitation weekend at the 2019 National Horse Show, EquiJet is excited to add class sponsor to its roster of roles at the upcoming competition. One of the leading domestic and international equine transportation companies, EquiJet will return to Lexington as the title sponsor of the $36,000 EquiJet Accumulator Class, which will take place the afternoon of Friday, Nov. 1. This year’s National Horse Show will be held at the Kentucky Horse Park from Oct. 25 to Nov. 3, 2019 to cap off the indoor equestrian season.
“We are so happy to be adding another level of support to the National Horse Show. We loved the event so much in 2018 that we knew we had to extend our participation in 2019!” commented Bastian Schroeder, founder and president of EquiJet. “This show is one of the staple competitions in the U.S., and we are proud to be a part of it once again. This is shaping up to be a great class and we can’t wait to see who wins!”
“The entire team at EquiJet is proud to once again be a part of the National Horse Show, now in a more prominent role. After the success of last year’s event and the amazing feedback we heard, it was a no-brainer to grow our sponsorship for the 2019 National Horse Show, and we are excited to be able to play a role in such a beloved competition and high-quality event,” commented Bastian Schroeder, founder and president of EquiJet.
One of the most fun and unique classes of the event, the $36,000 EquiJet Accumulator Class will feature 10 obstacles of increasing difficulty where points will be awarded for each fence cleared. Obstacle one jumped without fault will accrue one point, while obstacle two jumped without fault will earn two points and so on. A final fence option, called ‘The Joker,’ will be worth double points, unless a rider knocks it down, in which case those points will be deducted from the total score.
Founded in 1883, the National Horse Show is a staple on the equestrian calendar and the culmination of the east coast summer competitive season. For six consecutive years, the National Show Hunter Hall of Fame has named the National Horse Show the Horse Show of the Year, and the event organizers plans to continue that tradition with the help of dedicated sponsors like EquiJet. With $716,000 in prize money offered, the National Horse Show has been designated a CSI4*-W event by the FEI, and will host the highly-anticipated $225,000 Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ Lexington CSI4*. International Open Jumpers will compete for almost half a million dollars in prize money, while the top-rated hunter sections will vie for a total purse of $190,000.

Kari started her company in 2009 with three young children. With just a thought of what her ultimate dream in her life would look like. In its start-up stage, she watched in horror in one eight-week period when she had to cope with the death of four of her beloved horses and her mother, who was also her best friend and business partner.
She found the courage to rebuild and expand and today her reputation for excellence in her field and demand for her unique business offering stretches from Australia and New Zealand to Denmark, and from Europe and South Korea to the United States and Canada.

I have learnt in the 2 weeks that by taking 45 minutes a day and focusing on myself, not only did the world not come crashing down, but my mind and body was more relaxed, I was refreshed and able to power through the rest of the day with a whole new super woman attitude! I plan on keeping that 45 minutes everyday and making it all about me whether it’s just meditation, cup of tea, or journaling my thoughts. Again, Thank You so much, this program truly is empowering! Two thumbs up and a universe of gold stars!

Estonian startup 99math has raised $2.1 million to boost its edtech math gaming platform aimed at making math fun. The new funds will help the company reach the U.S. and other markets with more social gameplay. Play Ventures led the round, with participation from existing shareholders Flyer One Ventures and EstVCA member Change Ventures.
The 3-year-old 99math has a multiplayer math game that teachers use in classrooms around the world. After debuting as a beta tool in 2019, 99math grew into a gaming platform for one million kids, or three times the number it had last year.
Together, students in 99math have solved over 600 million math problems or three million per day. It turns out one of the tricks to getting children into math is to get them to compete with each other in the classroom.
“We have also significantly upgraded our team. The game design thinking is totally a new level. And this is all getting started,” said Tõnis Kusmin
, CEO of 99math.
Proceeds from the current round will be invested in expanding the company’s reach and improving the current product.
“We have an extremely excited fan base, but we are still small in the United States,” he said. “We have a tiny fraction of the 40 million kids. So we are taking the product to more users. And we are improving the classroom experience. We’re already quite good there. And the third mission is building out the full home game.”
The company is focusing on second grade through eighth grade.

39 new members of ESU’s Student Experts’ Pool on Quality Assurance
BRUSSELS – The European Students’ Union (ESU) welcomes the 39 individuals that were newly selected as members of the ESU Student Experts’ Pool on Quality Assurance (ESU QA Pool). Now there are 66 students from 26 different countries registered as members of the pool, balanced by gender, study fields and regions in Europe.
These students will have the opportunity to increase their knowledge of higher education in Europe, get involved in quality assurance processes, represent the pool at external events and governing bodies, expand their networks, participate in trainings and develop their communication skills. At the same time as the group welcomes its 39 new members, it also recognises the valuable contribution of the 37 members who have now left the pool. It is the hope of the European Students’ Union that those outgoing members will continue to use and share their knowledge to improve quality assurance activities all over the world.
A new member of the Steering Committee
Following an open call to renew the Steering Committee for the ESU QA Pool it was also decided to select Martynas Serys-Kubertavicius as a new member of it. Serys-Kubertavicius has been involved in quality assurance and enhancement activities for more than four years. While completing his undergraduate degree, he was a course representative on numerous occasions and a member of various teaching and learning committees. He has been an Associate Trainer at student participation in quality Scotland and a student reviewer for the Quality Assurance Agency in the United Kingdom.
The Steering Committee also thanked Dan Derricott for his contribution to its work in the past year. Derricott was selected for his one year mandate as a member of the Steering Committee in the beginning of last year. Derricott will nevertheless continue to work for student engagement in quality assurance activities, but he was recently nominated to the Steering Committee of the European Quality Assurance Forum (EQAF), the largest event of its kind in Europe. He will serve as the chairperson for EQAF for the next two years.
The Steering Committee of the ESU QA Pool is composed of five individuals, of which two are elected representatives of the European Students’ Union. These representatives are responsible for the coordination of the work of students involved in the student experts’ pool, organising events and training session and providing necessary material relevant to its function.
Supporting one thousand student representatives
“We launched a call for new members of the ESU QA Pool in January and we were very happy with the high level of interest in this work and the number of applications that we received. We have been operating the student experts’ pool since 2009 and we have cooperated with many quality assurance organisations across Europe, such as the European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA) and the Institutional Evaluation Programme (IEP). It is our hope that the material that was published as part of our research project Quest for Quality for Students and the student experts’ pool will have a direct positive impact on the work of at least one thousand student representatives over the next two years,” says Fernando Miguel Galán Palomares, Vice-Chairperson of the European Students’ Union.
To see the full list of people that are members of the student experts’ pool on quality assurance and for more information about student engagement in quality assurance in general, please visit the Quest for Quality for Students website.

Estimating is one of the most challenging jobs in the construction industry. Accurate estimations can lead to more profitable projects. On the other hand, inaccurate estimating mistakes can result in a substantial amount of money lost.
Part of estimating comes down to the nature of construction projects: every construction project is unique. Estimators simply can’t employ a one-size-fits-all methodology. Plus, several variables are taken into account during the estimating process, meaning there are many ways for the estimate to get off-track. Even for the best estimators, there’s always going to be a certain amount of uncertainty.
According to a study from KPMG, a global accounting organization, only 31% of all construction projects came within 10% of their budget in the last three years.
Another recent survey showed that nearly a third of construction companies make less profit than their estimates would lead them to expect. Almost 40% of respondents said they aren’t confident with their estimates.
Estimates can impact profitability in two ways. One, if the estimate is too high, the construction company may not get the bid. Two, if the estimate is too low, job overruns can eat into the project’s profitability. This can make a difference in whether a construction company stays afloat or not. It is crucial to have proper construction project management software and the correct historical cost data to deliver an accurate cost estimate.
Here are five of the more common pitfalls that can create construction estimating mistakes.
Table of Contents
#1. Inaccurate or confusing design, plans, and specifications
If your design, plans, or specifications are inaccurate or incomplete, the stage is set for cost overruns. Often this happens when the design phase of the project is rushed to start the project sooner. It could indicate that the design team or construction professionals aren’t experienced, and there could be additional issues down the road.
If you don’t know for sure what the plans and specifications call for, there’s no way to calculate an accurate estimate.
#2. Inaccurate material takeoffs (MTOs)
A comprehensive, detailed list of all the raw materials, prefabrication tools, and the quantities necessary to complete the construction project is essential for a construction estimator. An incomplete or inaccurate material construction takeoff list can throw off a construction estimate by a considerable amount.
The material type needs specification; it’s not enough to have a list of general materials and quantities. For example, the cost can fluctuate significantly between grades of steel, specific brands of material, or electrical cable type. If this information is missing or inaccurate, the cost estimate can be way off.
Typically, the material takeoff list is created from the information on the blueprint and other design documents. If these documents are incomplete or inaccurate, it impacts the material takeoff list’s accuracy, further compounding the issue and making it less likely the material takeoff list will be accurate.
The material takeoff list helps determine the quantities of materials and supplies needed for the construction project. It also helps construction estimators assess the amount of labor and type of equipment necessary to complete the job. If the material takeoff list isn’t accurate, the labor and equipment estimates may also be off.
A less substantial impact, but one that impacts the bottom line, is that an inaccurate takeoff list can result in workers on the construction project not having what they need to do their jobs. That can lead to costly delays and misappropriation of labor.
#3. The difficulty of estimating labor costs
The most expensive construction cost is often the cost of labor. It’s also the most difficult to estimate accurately. Why? Because there are so many variables involved in the estimating process. To estimate labor costs, the construction estimator has to consider each worker’s experience level and the rate of pay and productivity of each available worker.
A common estimating guideline is to determine how many man-hours it takes to perform each task. Using historical data from similar jobs can help, but every job is different, as is every work team.
#4. Not staying up-to-date with market conditions that impact the cost of materials and regulations
The cost of building materials is another huge piece of the construction estimate. While historical data can be helpful in some instances, a savvy construction estimator will stay on top of market conditions that can impact the cost and delivery of materials.
Perhaps workers at a facility go on strike, or oil, gas, or coal price goes up. These factors would increase the manufacturing and transportation costs of raw materials, effectively raising the cost of raw materials.
This is especially true of imports as imported building materials often cost less than domestic building materials. Sometimes, shipments get delayed, are unavailable, or subject to price increases due to embargos, internal politics, material scarcity, fluctuating tariffs or other reasons.
It can take a long time from the initial estimate to the start of a construction project, especially when it’s large. During that time, the cost of materials could increase considerably. It is almost impossible to get an accurate cost estimate for an overall bid estimate if you do not factor in an indirect cost. Staying up to date on what’s going on in specific industries, such as the timber industry or steel industry, can improve the accuracy of a construction estimator’s calculations.
#5. Not creating a risk assessment
Risk is an integral part of the construction process. Construction estimating should always include an assessment of the level of risk associated with a project. This helps management determine whether to bid or pass on a job. Winning a job with a high-risk factor could be more detrimental than losing out on the opportunity.
Having a good grasp of the amount of risk also helps determine how much to build into the contingencies’ bid. Factors to consider in a risk assessment may include the project owner’s age and reputation, if the project pricing is fixed or flexible, if materials are custom or standard or if the materials are prone to pricing fluctuations.
Making the estimating process easier
Now, for a construction firm more than ever, direct cost estimating matters. There’s so much riding on the accuracy of construction estimates. To achieve the most competitive estimates and maintain profitability, only utilizing estimating software is not enough. Cost estimators should also use project management software, such as eSUB, for the most accurate information. Both tools, used together, will bring your construction business more peace of mind.

Global Power & Energy Elites 2021 awards German demonstrator28.01.2021Media
German demonstrator from the EU-SysFlex project has been awarded by the “Global Power Energy Elites” for the second year in a row as one of the most innovative projects in 2021. This year under the category “Data and analytics”.
As the Global Power & Energy Elites website writes, new algorithms and tools developed in the German demonstrator of the EU-SysFlex Project have opened the way for real-time coordination of flexibility to manage intermittent renewable energy resources on the grid.
The key players in the development of the algorithms are the Fraunhofer Institute for Energy Economics and Energy System Technology (IEE), and the University of Kassel (e2n).
The algorithms developed will coordinate the utilisation of active and reactive power flexibility, which can be provided to the distribution system operator (DSO), and from the DSO to the transmission system operator (TSO). Such coordination and optimisation between the DSO and TSO is crucial for the security and cost-effective operation of a grid with a high penetration of renewable energy resources.

Two employees at the Madrid Zoo Aquarium have been arrested on suspicion of swindling more than a million Euros in ticket sales. Reports detail the two men began to steal the money little by little from as early as 2013. The pair working together, one a technician manipulated software at the Zoo’s ticket office issuing entry passes which were authentic allowing the customer into the zoo but bypassed the software showing any sales of tickets and pocketing the cash.
The deceitful duo also managed to re-programme card payments, using a data phone and transferring funds directly to a private bank account, without the need to use the Zoo’s card payment system.
Acting cautiously the pair ensuring they were not caught out by their employers were limiting their daily scamming. The police were alerted only when a colleague realised what they were up to.
Once arrested and detained, the men admitted to stealing 1,168,147 Euros by selling tickets which were subsequently not registered into the system. The majority of the money, which had been hidden in a safe-deposit box has since been recovered by police.
Sources confirm that the men have been employees at the zoo for some time, although Madrid Zoo Aquarium has declined to comment, as the investigation is still underway.

David, @Da_Kimchi is a Toronto-based trainer and coach at @SweatandTonic who regularly hosts online Zoom workouts.
Growing up, David was a skinny kid who felt like he didn’t belong anywhere. He was bullied through most of his youth and because of it - he always strived to be stronger, both physically and mentally.
For David, boxing was the answer. It was his way out and inspired the start of his fitness journey while teaching him everything from self-discipline and hard work to humbleness. David entered the ring as an amateur boxer at the age of 17, and since has become addicted to the sport with hopes to one day go pro.
David now has an underground boxing studio in Toronto where he hosts his boxing program, “Fight Back”. This program features all Everlast equipment and teaches clients how to box alongside an in-house DJ who plays live music to set an epic vibe.
"Growing up, Everlast was always the biggest name in boxing. I saw their gloves in every gym, and all the professional fighters I knew wore it. Who knew that years later I would be a part of the team. Dreams do come true. This is just the beginning. Gametime."
First Breaks Ground.
Welcome to #TeamEverlast Canada, David. 🥊

Since curls thrive on moisture, avoid sulfates at all costs when singing in the shower.
Sulfates (i.e., sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate, ammonium lauryl sulfate) are harsh salt-based detergents. They do not clean the hair. They strip all oils out of your hair, which can cause your scalp to overproduce oils leading to oily hair.
Conditioners are less strict than shampoos, but you want to watch for ingredients such as silicones that build up on the hair and can’t be removed with a sulfate-free shampoo.
How to Style!
Now that the foundation for your scalp and curls is set, let’s focus on styling gels! Gels provide more hold, definition, and control.
What you need to know about gels: As a stylist behind the chair for 20+ years, gels (and curly hair) can have a host of nuances. Hair gels are often full of unwanted chemicals that include parabens, phthalates, and other substances that can do your hair and health harm.
Many gels are made with - Alcohol, Acrylates, Butylaminoethyl Methacrylate, Copolymer, Ferric Ferrocyanide, and Sodium Chloride (Salt). These are used to lower the cost of production and increase profits. These chemicals may remove moisture from your hair, leaving it dry, weak, and prone to breakage and fall.
Here are a few negative side effects of gels that contain these chemicals:
Dries Out Hair: Gel can contain the wrong alcohol, and alcohol is a drying agent. This means it strips moisture from the hair and scalp, leaving it rough and dehydrated. The oils and moisture become unbalanced because it reduces the amount of oil production, leaving you with a dry scalp. It’s the leading cause of flaking and dandruff.
Weakens Hair: Dry hair and a suffocated scalp can cause weaker hair prone to break and fall out.
Overall Damage: With the moisture and nutrients ripped away from the hair, hair follicles will inevitably get damaged in the form of split ends and thinning hair.
The NATURALISTA’S Solution for Styling
We’ve departed from chemical-laden ingredients and built a gel that contains natural moisturizing ingredients like aloe vera that’s rich in antioxidants, vitamins, aminos, and minerals - which gives a light hold and more shine.
This means you won’t experience flaking, dandruff, breakage, or split ends when you use our gel.
Our gel truly caters both voluminous curls blowout or the softest wave or tight curly coils.
My favorite mixer with our gel is our argon shine serum - adding a little more slip and shine.

It takes water molecules anywhere from a fraction of a second to several hours to evaporate. The rate of evaporation depends on many factors, such as the air temperature, humidity, wind speed and the surface area of the water. For example, a large puddle of water in hot, dry conditions will evaporate much faster than a small puddle in cool, humid conditions.
Science – How long does it take for water to evaporate?
How long does it take water to evaporate? This is a question that has been asked by many people, and the answer may surprise you. It takes quite a while for water to evaporate, and the time it takes can vary depending on a number of factors.
One of the biggest factors in how long it takes water to evaporate is humidity. If the air is already full of moisture, it will take longer for the water to evaporate. This is because there is already a lot of competition for space in the air, and the water molecules have a harder time getting up into the atmosphere.
temperature also plays a role in how long it takes water to evaporate. The warmer the temperature, the faster the evaporation rate will be. This is because warmer temperatures provide more energy for the water molecules, which helps them move around more and escape into the air.
Finally, wind can also affect how quickly water evaporates. If there is a strong breeze blowing, it can help carry away some of those pesky water molecules and speed up evaporation. So if you’re wondering how long it takes for water to evaporate, now you know that there are a few different variables at play!
How Long Does It Take Water to Evaporate in the Sun
When water is heated, it evaporates. The molecules of water move faster and further apart, turning from liquid to vapor. When water is left out in the sun, it will eventually evaporate.
But how long does this process take? The answer depends on several factors, including the temperature of the air and the amount of sunlight present. In general, it takes longer for water to evaporate in cooler temperatures and when there is less sunlight.
So if you’re wondering how long it would take for a puddle of water to disappear on a cloudy day, you can expect the evaporation process to take longer than if the sun were shining brightly. There are many variables that can affect how quickly water will evaporate in the sun. However, we can give a rough estimate based on average conditions.
If the air temperature is about 77 degrees Fahrenheit and there is bright sunshine, it would take around an hour for a pint (0.47 liters) of water to completely evaporate. But again, this will vary depending on actual conditions like humidity and wind speed. So next time you’re wondering how long it’ll take for your clothes to dry outside or for that puddle of rainwater to disappear, keep in mind that evaporation rates can vary widely depending on the weather conditions.
How Long Does It Take for Water to Evaporate at Room Temperature?
It takes water molecules around 23 minutes to travel from the ground to the clouds. The speed at which they travel is affected by many factors, such as temperature, humidity and wind.
How Long Does Water Usually Take to Evaporate?
It takes water molecules around 20-50 minutes to fully evaporate at standard temperature and pressure (STP). The time it takes for water to evaporate depends on a few factors, such as:
-The exposed surface area of the water
-The air temperature -The humidity of the air -The amount of airflow over the water.
If you have a large body of water with a small surface area exposed to the air, it will take longer for the water to evaporate. This is because there are fewer water molecules that can escape into the air. Similarly, if the air temperature is low or the humidity is high, there will be more moisture in the air and it will take longer for the water molecules to escape.
If there is a lot of airflow over the surface of the water, this will help evaporate the water quicker by providing more energy to individual molecules and helping them escape into the atmosphere.
How Long Does It Take for 1 Litre of Water to Evaporate?
It takes around 2260 hours for 1 litre of water to evaporate. The rate at which water evaporates depends on a number of factors, including the temperature, humidity and wind speed. For example, warmer air can hold more water vapour than cooler air, so evaporation happens more quickly in warm conditions.
Does Water Evaporate Over Time?
Yes, water evaporates over time. The rate of evaporation depends on the temperature and humidity of the air. If the air is hot and dry, the water will evaporate quickly.
If the air is cool and humid, the water will evaporate slowly.
It takes water around 1,000 hours to evaporate at room temperature. The rate of evaporation is affected by factors such as humidity, air pressure and temperature.

Killing Joke Pylon
Published Oct 21, 2015Is there a badder-ass band than Killing Joke that's been actively touring since 1978? Is there a more influential band playing such vital music over 16 studio albums that Dave Grohl felt obligated to play drums on their 2003 self-titled album because Nirvana copped the opening riff of the band's "Eighties" for their own megahit, 1991's "Come as You Are"? Answer: absolutely not.
The outstanding Pylon feels like a comeback record in the way that Carcass' Surgical Steel reinvented the steel recently (and Jaz Coleman's voice never, ever ages), yet it seamlessly touches upon almost every keystone of their storied career. Opener "Autonomous Zone" blazes out of the gates with ultra-heavy beats reminiscent of the band's eponymous 2003 masterpiece, and the pulsating "Delete" and "Dawn of the Hive" hearken to the majesty of 2010's Absolute Dissent. The hi-hat offbeats of "New Cold War" stretch back to 1985's Night Time, while the Junius-esque "Euphoria" might sit comfortably on 1986's Brighter Than a Thousand Suns. "Big Buzz" approaches but does not encroach upon 1996's Democracy, and "Into the Unknown" is darkly metallic, unlike any other song and a hopeful harbinger for happy returns.
Pylon is sweet 16 for these 50-somethings, and honestly, it couldn't be sweeter; Killing Joke are still promoting the driving dynamics of post-punk, and still doing it better than the rest. (Spinefarm)

We always knew we wanted to go abroad for our wedding and the thought of marrying overseas felt complicated and overwhelming until we met Stella Virdi who is a wedding planner based in Paphos. From the first initial call where we were able to share our ideas and our vision with Stella, everything was simplified, straightforward, and very well handled. Stella was able to provide us with lots of options and was able to capture our vision perfectly. We loved being able to have a choice, flexibility, and extremely trustworthy suppliers.
Stella is so approachable, and nothing was ever too much. The trust was there from the very start and I knew I could contact Stella with any question, big or small, and there would be no delay or hesitations. We flew over a few months before our wedding and she had created a robust itinerary for us and really went the extra mile from the moment we arrived in Cyprus.
On the day of our wedding, Stella felt like she was part of our family. She was there on hand, super organised and all suppliers were managed via Stella. This takes off any pressure and it also allowed us to enjoy our special day, knowing everything was in control. It has been such a wonderful journey and there was very little stress or anxiety at all in the wedding planning and on the day at one of the best wedding venues in Paphos; which makes it even more special, we were able to enjoy every single moment.
All of our guests were so impressed with Stella and we will forever be grateful that we met the perfect planner!
If you are planning to get married in Paphos my husband and I would highly recommend using Stella. After our wedding was canceled due to covid Stella Virdi stayed in touch keeping us up to date with new bookings.
Stella went above and beyond to make our day perfect.
She was always a message or phone call away for every question we had. Stella helped us pick the perfect Venus for us as a couple. The food, setting, and way the day ran were flawless. I wanted my 8-month-old in the car with me to the venue and forgot about organising a car seat, about 20 mins before leaving Stella made a call and got this sorted right away. I thought this was great of her.
With the rising cost of living; big weddings are losing popularity, and eloping is a fabulous and stress-free option. Why not elope to Cyprus and marry this winter? Flights are so much cheaper and lots of hotels offer great deals for off-season stays in Paphos. these days there are so many options for accommodation, and Airbnbs and villas are to be found all over. Combine your trip with your wedding and mini-moon. Cyprus boasts up to 340 days of sunshine a year.
Exclusive weddings can organize your romantic wedding in a number of venues and town hall venues around Paphos. We will inform you of any documents you need in order to legally marry in Cyprus. Ceremonies are conducted in English and are recognized worldwide. Don’t put off getting married as you will spend a fraction of the price marrying in Cyprus without breaking the bank.
Get in touch with Stella Virdi at [email protected] or why not call; Stella will be happy to answer your questions and concerns. 00357 99 460499
After canceling our wedding due to Covid we decided to get married in Cyprus with a small group of 10.
From the get-go Stella Virdi really understood that we wanted a relaxed reception with a church service. We didn’t want to feel lost in a big venue being a small group. She is super organised and happy to go through choices and options. Stella took me through the documents process and answered my countless emails. From the moment we touched down in Cyprus she was always in contact.
I couldn’t have had the wedding day I did without her expertise and kindness. On the day she was with me from start to finish and began to feel like one of the family rather than a wedding planner. Our wedding was everything we wanted and more and that wouldn’t have happened without Stella. Now for our happy ever after xx ❤️
We got married at Minthis Hills with 100 guests last Saturday 4th June. We have been working with Stella Virdi for over a year at this point and she has been wonderful throughout; thorough, organised, insightful, honest but most of all, helpful.
We have family in Cyprus and although there are many similarities, it is always a little nerve-wracking getting married abroad, and good to have someone on the ground. Once Stella made sure our vision – a mix of Greek Cypriot and English traditions – was possible on our budget, she helped tirelessly to bring it to life. And that she did!
We had a beautiful wedding, surrounded by friends and family. Like many weddings, it was not without its drama but Stella and Angie handled it all like the pros that they are and made sure nothing bothered us. Stella was happy to work with both her own suppliers and also ones that we suggested.
Honestly, we can’t thank her enough and we are going to miss her. If we had the money, we’d do it all again next year – with Stella’s help, of course!

Sensorineural Hearing Loss in Postmeningitic Children
- Additional Document Info
- View All
OBJECTIVE: To establish the proportion of children who develop sensorineural hearing loss after bacterial meningitis and to correlate such loss with patient factors. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective case review. SETTING: McMaster University Children's Hospital, a tertiary referral center. PATIENTS: Children between the ages of 1 day and 18 years admitted to McMaster University Children's Hospital with a confirmed diagnosis of bacterial meningitis between January 1, 1991 and December 30, 2000. INTERVENTIONS: Audiological assessment including auditory brainstem responses and cortical electric-response audiometry or standard audiometry. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The nature of sensorineural hearing loss was assessed according to the degree (mild to profound) and course (transient versus permanent). Correlations between sensorineural hearing loss and the patient's age, sex, duration of illness before admission, use of dexamethasone, concurrent neurologic complications, and types of pathogens were evaluated. Patterns of inpatient and outpatient audiological assessment were determined. RESULTS: Seventy-nine children had confirmed bacterial meningitis. Streptococcus pneumoniae accounted for 36.7 percent of all cases, followed-up by Neisseria meningitides (16.5%), group B Streptococcus (15.2%), and Hemophilus influenzae (13.9%). Sixty-eight (86.1%) children underwent hearing assessment, either as inpatients or after discharge. Of the remaining 11 (13.9%) in whom audiological evaluation could not be confirmed, only two made mention of a referral. As such, a nonreferral rate of 11.4 percent was identified. Abnormal auditory brainstem response findings were present in 22 cases (32.3%), with 11 cases (13.9%) of permanent sensorineural hearing loss identified. A statistically significant association between sensorineural hearing loss and Streptococcus pneumoniae was found (p < 0.001). No association between age, sex, duration of illness before admission, use of dexamethasone, and number of concurrent neurologic complications could be established. CONCLUSIONS: In our series, 11 children (13.9%) experienced permanent sensorineural hearing loss, consistent with previously reported rates of 5 to 35 percent within the pediatric population. Since introduction of the Hemophilus influenzae type B vaccine, Streptococcus pneumoniae has emerged as the dominant causative organism of bacterial meningitis in children. Our study additionally confirms the role of Streptococcus pneumoniae as a precipitant of sensorineural hearing loss (p < 0.001). Audiological assessment in our series (86.1%) exceeds most of the screening rates previously reported in the literature. Because of compliance problems with outpatient audiological assessment and because early identification and expedient amplification lead to better academic and language outcomes, routine inpatient audiological screening of postmeningitic children is advocated.

MIDDLETOWN – Monroe-Woodbury’s quest for perfection moves on with a near-perfect effort.
Brianna Roberts took care of business in the circle, allowing one hit and striking out seven, while the offense banged out 16 hits. Emma Lawson’s fifth-inning double to left-center pushed across the decisive run as the unbeaten and state top-ranked Crusaders beat Warwick 12-0 in the Section 9 Class AA title game.
“I think they just brought their best game,’’ said MW head coach Penny Roberts.
Player of the game
Roberts doesn’t like pitching against her cousin, Brielle Rosario, and she was visibly frustrated for serving up a game-opening walk to Warwick’s leadoff hitter. She set down the next eight batter before giving up her lone hit of the game … to Rosario. Roberts finished with seven strikeouts, with only one struck ball finding the field of play outside the few feet along the right-field line. Roberts also had a single, double and scored once.
Monroe-Woodbury wasted little time to take it to Warwick. Anna Paravati dropped a single in front of the center fielder to bring in the first run. Gabby Schaeffer ripped a single past the shortstop to plate two more for a 3-0 lead.
The first eight Crusaders reached safely in the third inning, chasing starter Jess Stuber. In all, Monroe-Woodbury hit five doubles in the inning, scoring eight runs for an 11-0 lead.
By the numbers
Monroe-Woodbury – Every starter collected at least one base hit. The Crusaders hit five of their six doubles in the third inning. Amanda Palmer hit a two-run homer in that frame. Emma Lawson went 3-for-4. Kelsey O’Brien drove in a pair. Gabby Schaeffer drove in four runs.
Warwick – Rosario had the lone hit for the Wildcats, a single to right field. It was the lone drive into the outfield. Losing pitcher Jess Stuber struck out one and gave up 11 hits.
“It’s incredible. We’ve been working so hard all season. It’s just nice that our hard work finally paid off, but we’re not done yet.’’ – MW catcher Emma Lawson
Monroe-Woodbury – In the state tournament opener, the Crusaders will face the Section 1 champions on Wednesday at Arlington High School in Freedom Plains.

When you want to buy a new car you will need to know how long does it usually take for a car inspection. How long does an inspection take, this is very important information so that you can make an informed decision when you go to make that purchase. Many people have no idea what they should expect during a car inspection and what all they should be looking out for. You really don’t want to make a bad decision and then have to spend all kinds of money fixing the car or buying a new one. Here are some answers to the question of how long does a car inspection take.
How long does an inspection take – Used Car Buying Tips!
How long does a vehicle inspection take? Typically this only involves the internal parts of the car including its brakes, tires, headlights and other safety features like seat belts, foot straps and anti-lock brakes. The exhaust system is often also included in this since it’s a sensitive component of the vehicle. For the interior part of your car you’ll have to schedule a vehicle inspection at the dealership.
What other types of car inspections may take longer? Other inspections include the oil system, the suspension system, the electrical system, the steering system and the engine. Each of these items has to be inspected one at a time and they have to be tested for leaks or other problems before the car is put on sale. These inspections don’t usually take long and they don’t have to be scheduled in the same way as the others. As long as they are conducted within a certain amount of time they are fairly reasonable.

Acre is a widely accepted measurement unit used to measure plots and vast land areas. It is among the oldest units remaining in use, and both the US and the British imperial systems of units accept it.
On the other hand, Guntha is one of India’s most recognised land measurement units locally. Regardless, for conversion of area into units like this from other standard units, users can opt for a area conversion calculator for error-free and effortless calculations.
How to convert Acre to Guntha?
In general, one Acre is approximately 40 Gunthas. So, to convert a given numerical to Guntha from Acre, individuals have to multiply it with the given figure. For instance, 2 Acres = (2 x 40) Guntha = 80 Gunthas. Likewise, individuals can replace “2” with any number, as shown in the example, to convert the required amount.
Additionally, as the conversion of complex numbers involves challenging calculations, individuals can opt for an area conversion calculator that greatly simplifies the procedure.
Steps to use land area calculator
Step 1: Visit a trusted website to access an area conversion calculator.
Step 2: Then, enter the property unit value.
Step 3: After that, select the area unit to initiate the conversion.
The online calculator will convert the value from Acre to Guntha and display the result.
What is Acre?
Acre is one of the earliest measurement units and has experienced numerous variations over the years. The modern Acre is equivalent to 4,840 square yards, 4,047 square metres, 43,560 square feet, and 0.4047 hectares and is used in both the imperial and US measurement systems.
Also, Acre is a common land measurement unit used throughout the world, notably in Canada, the US, Germany, Spain, Jamaica, France, and the majority of South Asia, including India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. Apart from these, Acre is also frequently used in the UK.
What is Guntha?
In various regions of India, the Guntha or Gunta is one of the traditional land measurement units. In the states such as Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Odisha, Guntha is frequently used to measure plots of land.
Officially, Guntha equals 121 square yards (sq yd), 101.17 square meters (sq m), or 1,089 square feet (sq ft). But, in Maharashtra, 1 Guntha is sometimes calculated at 1,076.4 sq ft. or 100 sq m.
Lenders frequently demand the area unit of the property into standardised measures to achieve consistency in calculations. Therefore, it may be necessary to convert Acre to Guntha and vice versa if someone chooses to apply for loan against property online.
Benefits of loan against property
Getting a loan against property can provide multiple benefits. Nevertheless, a few of the perks to avail of a loan against property from leading financial institutions include:
- Substantial loan amount
Compared to personal loans, mortgage loans provide higher loan amounts. Therefore, individuals can meet their diverse financial requirements with this generous fund.
- Less documentation
Prospective borrowers must submit a few essential documents to apply for a loan against property. Apart from it, potential borrowers can also benefit from doorstep document verification.
- Extended tenor
In LAP, the property is kept as collateral; hence, the risk for a lending institution is comparatively less. As a result, compared to other loan types, the repayment tenor is longer, which eases the monthly financial liability.
- Lenient eligibilities
Leading financial institutions also have lenient eligibility criteria for loan against property that prospective borrowers can meet easily. This also allows them to get the maximum valuation for a property.
- Zero end-use restrictions
In case of a loan against property, funds are disbursed with zero end-use restrictions. This means that borrowers can use those for any purpose they need to, and financial institutions have no guidelines concerning them.
Also, to streamline an applicant’s loan availing process, leading financial institutions in India extend pre-approved offers to customers. These offers are available on various financial products like home loan, loan against property and others. Prospective borrowers can enter their personal details to check their pre-approved loan offers.
Hence, opting for a land area calculator is one of the easiest ways to convert Acre to Guntha. This is because converting it manually can involve the risk of errors which can affect the loan against property application.

Mutual Excitation in Eurozone Sovereign CDS
Laeven, Roger J. A.
MetadataShow full item record
We study self- and cross-excitation of shocks in the Eurozone sovereign CDS market. We adopt a multivariate setting with credit default intensities driven by mutually exciting jump processes, to capture the salient features observed in the data, in particular, the clustering of high default probabilities both in time (over days) and in space (across countries). The feedback between jump events and the intensity of these jumps is the key element of the model. We derive closed-form formulae for CDS prices, and estimate the model by matching theoretical prices to their empirical counterparts. We find evidence of self-excitation and asymmetric cross-excitation. Using impulse-response analysis, we assess the impact of shocks and a potential policy intervention not just on a single country under scrutiny but also, through the effect on cross-excitation risk which generates systemic sovereign risk, on other interconnected countries.

(1) SPEAK MEMORY. The Guardian wonders, “Death of the narrator? Apple unveils suite of AI-voiced audiobooks”.
Apple has quietly launched a catalogue of books narrated by artificial intelligence in a move that may mark the beginning of the end for human narrators. The strategy marks an attempt to upend the lucrative and fast-growing audiobook market – but it also promises to intensify scrutiny over allegations of Apple’s anti-competitive behaviour.
The popularity of the audiobook market has exploded in recent years, with technology companies scrambling to gain a foothold. Sales last year jumped 25%, bringing in more than $1.5bn. Industry insiders believe the global market could be worth more than $35bn by 2030.
… Before the launch, one Canadian literary agent told the Guardian she did not see the value from both a literary or customer perspective.
“Companies see the audiobooks market and that there’s money to be made. They want to make content. But that’s all it is. It’s not what customers want to listen to. There’s so much value in the narration and the storytelling,” said Carly Watters….
(2) KELLY LINK Q&A. At Publishers Weekly: “Flights of Fancy: PW Talks with Kelly Link”.
… What can contemporary fiction inject into the fairy tale?
Maybe psychological depth. Fairy tales depend on what the reader brings to them. The difference between fairy tales and myth is that Disney hardened our idea of certain stories so that a particular version of them becomes so codified that it replaces other possibilities of how that story could exist. I don’t think it’s great to let those stories exist in one form. People are constantly retelling them, and I think you need the rigid, popular version everyone knows for the weirder versions to have any power….
(3) DEADLINE EXTENDED. L.A. County high school students now have until January 23, 2023 to submit their sff short stories to The Tomorrow Prize & The Green Feather Award.
The Omega Sci-Fi Awards invites Los Angeles County high school students to submit their short science fiction stories to The Tomorrow Prize. The Tomorrow Prize encourages young writers to use sci-fi to explore the diverse issues humanity wrestles with, spark creative solutions, and unite the worlds of art and science.
The Green Feather Award co-presented by the Nature Nexus Institute, highlights an environmentally focused sci-fi story. We are seeking stories that integrate creative solutions to the climate and biodiversity crises.
For more details please see submission guidelines.
Selected finalists will be chosen to have their stories read in their honor by celebrity guests during the May 2023 Culminating Event.
First, Second, and Third place Tomorrow Prize winners will receive $250, $150, and $100 USD cash prizes.
The First place Tomorrow Prize winner will be published in L.A. Parent Magazine.
The Green Feather Award is a special prize for an environmentally focused sci-fi story. The winner will receive $250 USD & online publication by the Nature Nexus Institute.
(4) IN THE BEGINNING? Whatever presents “The Big Idea: Nancy Kress” about the premise to Observer, the novel she’s co-written with Robert Lanza.
…On the one hand, could science support the idea that consciousness creates the universe? On the other hand, wasn’t this just recycled philosophy 101 according to Irish philosopher George Berkeley, among others?…
(5) TRIVIAL TRIVIA. English-language prozine Interzone is being published in Poland by MYY Press.
(6) A GREEN MAN, BUT NOT A LITTLE ONE. MeTV remembers the time “Ted Cassidy helped Gene Roddenberry play a prank behind the scenes on Star Trek”. Here’s the first part of the story:
The first-season Star Trek episode “What Are Little Girls Made Of?” has a few memorable things that stand out. It gives us our second evil duplicate Kirk of the series, we get some backstory for Majel Barrett’s nurse Chapel… but arguably what sticks in the minds of fans the most is Ted Cassidy as ominous android Ruk.
At this time, Ted Cassidy was fresh off the ending of The Addams Family where he enjoyed a regular role as Lurch, the family butler. In his book Star Trek Memories, William Shatner talks about how Cassidy was cast as the seven-foot-tall, menacing android. Prior to filming, Star Trek‘s makeup artist, Freddie Phillips asked Cassidy to come in for a makeup test.
“Cassidy sat down in Phillips’ undersized makeup chair and allowed the artist to transform him from a smiling young actor to an evil, hulking monster,” Shatner writes. “First Freddie covered Ted’s head with a latex skinhead wig; then he applied a sort of greyish-green base coat over Cassidy’s entire face. Once all that was done, Phillips darkened the area around each of the actor’s eyes and employed a black grease pencil to sharpen the angles of Ted’s cheekbones, forehead and chin. The end result was quite frightening and really served to drain all the humanity from Cassidy’s face.”…
(7) BOOK KEEPING. “Floods, Fires and Humidity: How Climate Change Affects Book Preservation” in the New York Times.
…Both immediate and long-term strategies are needed to keep books secure in changing environments, experts say, but some threats are more insidious than wildfires or hurricanes.
Shifts in temperature and humidity from climate change can have large consequences. Archivists and conservators in Cincinnati, for example, are worried about big temperature swings in a single day. Humidity is on the rise in Southern California, where the climate is historically dry; most preservation systems in the area aren’t designed to manage precipitation.
“The higher the humidity, the higher the temperature, the quicker they will break down their organic materials,” said Holly Prochaska, the interim head of the Archives and Rare Books Library at the University of Cincinnati. “Leather will wet rot. Collagen fibers in vellum will tighten and shrink.”…
Institutions like U.C.L.A. are developing ways to combat humidity to work in tandem with their climate-controlled stacks and collections rooms. Now, because of climate change, Metzger thinks twice before loaning out materials, which can keep history and knowledge under lock and key.
“Books gain meaning by use — use is exhibit, use is research — and there’s a beauty in use,” Metzger said. “If we just isolate things and keep them in these little, perfectly controlled environments with guards around them, what is their meaning anymore?”
One solution is digitization — scanning pages and storing them online. The process is not only an answer to climate change; it also allows for documents to be easily accessible and shared, broadening a collection’s reach. Adding documents to a server or the cloud, though, presents its own set of obstacles, both practical and environmental.
(8) SYLVIA RUCKER (1943-2023). Sylvia Bogsch Rucker, Rudy Rucker’s wife, died January 6. He pays tribute to her in “Sylvia’s Life”.
…Her curiosity never ended, even in her final days she wanted to know the details of everyone’s lives. This special attention made everyone feel loved. Her loving, warm, beautiful spirit will be deeply missed by all….
(9) MEMORY LANE.
1926 — [Compiled by Cat Eldridge.] Pooh and food
We shall talk about Pooh and food. Well actually I believe that A.E. Milne only had one food that his round little bear found interesting to the point of obsession and that was honey. Honey, often spelled Hunny by Pooh, is as you know the ever so sweet food made by bees.
It’s easily the most important food in the Winnie-the-Pooh works, being loved by pooh bears, heffalumps and woozles and also enjoyed by rabbits and piglets.
Pooh even called it smackerel , which is to say a snack of a small amount of honey. Indeed In the very first chapter, Pooh tells us, “the only reason for making honey is so as I can eat it”.
And yes, actual bears do love honey. They’ll break open a tree to get at a wild hive inside a dead trunk eating the honey and bees alike. They particularly like the bee larvae.
““When you wake up in the morning, Pooh” said piglet at last, “what’s the first thing you say to yourself?”
“What’s for breakfast?” said Pooh. “What do you say, Piglet?”
“I say, I wonder what’s going to happen exciting today?” said Piglet.
Pooh nodded thoughtfully.
“It’s the same thing,” he said.”
The illustration is from the 1926 first edition with the art by E.A. Shepherd.
(10) TODAY’S BIRTHDAYS.
[Compiled by Cat Eldridge.]
- Born January 10, 1904 — Ray Bolger. The Scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz, the villainous Barnaby in Babes in Toyland, two appearances on Fantasy Island, andVector In “Greetings from Earth” on the Seventies version of Battlestar Galactica. He made a Dr. Pepper ad which you can see here. (Died 1987.)
- Born January 10, 1937 — Elizabeth Anne Hull. She served as the President of the Science Fiction Research Association and editor of its newsletter. She was a member of the panel for the John W. Campbell Memorial Award for best SF novel since 1986. With her husband Frederik Pohl, Hull edited the Tales from the Planet Earth anthology. She was also the editor of the Gateways: Original New Stories Inspired by Frederik Pohl anthology. She has co-authored three short stories with him, “Author Plus”, “The Middle Kingdom” and “Second Best Friend”. (Died 2021.)
- Born January 10, 1944 — William Sanderson, 79. I remember him best as J. F. Sebastian, the possibly insane genetic designer working for Tyrell in Blade Runner, but he’s had a career obviously after that film including appearing as Skeets in The Rocketeer, voicing Dr. Karl Rossum on Batman: The Animated Series, playing the character Deuce on Babylon 5 (a series I’ve watched through at least three times), E. B. Farnum on Deadwood (ok, it’s not genre, but it’s Will and Emma’s favorite show so let’s let it slide) and Sheriff Bud Dearborne on True Blood.
- Born January 10, 1944 — Jeffrey Catherine Jones. She was an artist providing more than a hundred and fifty covers for many different types of genre books through mid seventies including the Ace paperback editions of the Fafhrd and Gray Mouser series including Swords Against Death. Among her work was also Flash Gordon for Charlton Comics in the Sixties and the Conan Saga for Marvel Comics in the late Eighties. (Died 2011.)
- Born January 10, 1947 — George Alec Effinger. I’ve read his Marîd Audran series at least twice as it’s an amazing series in both the characters and the setting. I never read the short stories set in this setting until Golden Gryphon Press sent me Budayeen Nights for Green Man to review. I don’t think I’ve ever encountered any of his other works. (Died 2002.)
- Born January 10, 1959 — Jeff Kaake, 64. He’s on the Birthday Honors list as he was Captain John Boon on the Space Rangers which lasted only six episodes. Damn. That was a fun show! He was also Thomas Cole on Viper which lasted four seasons. And he showed up in the Stormageddon film (which sounds like the name a Filer would give to a beloved SJW Cred) as well.
- Born January 10, 1959 — Fran Walsh, 64. Partner of Peter Jackson, she has contributed to all of his films since the late Eighties when she started out as co-writer of Meet the Feebles, and as producer since The Fellowship of the Ring which won a Hugo. Need I note the next two films won Hugos as well? The Hobbit films did not win Hugos. The first one was nominated at LoneStarCon 3 but lost out to The Avengers; the other two were not nominated.
(11) COMICS SECTION.
- The Far Side gets a laugh from an SF trope.
(12) TOTOPOTUS. [Item by Ben Bird Person.] Miranda Parkin (@mparkinb) did this piece based on Season 2 of the HBO sci-fi comedy television series Avenue 5 (2020-):
(13) LOOK CLOSER. [Item by Jo Van.] Something tonight reminded me of the Deep Space Nine Documentary What We Left Behind, which I helped to crowd-fund back in 2017, and I was thinking, wait a minute, wasn’t there something about a posted acknowledgement of the contributors?
It took a foray into the Wayback Machine, but I found it… and there’s my name, down about where Sisko’s communicator would be.
(14) GAINING CREDENTIALS. Annalisa Barbieri tells the Guardian “What the love of cats taught me about myself”.
I never thought I’d kiss a cat. Or like them, or be in a room with them. Cats, to me, were evil and unpredictable. A classic projection, if ever I saw one, of fear manifesting as dislike. Intense fear. Intense dislike.
But then I became a mother and, as we all know, maternal love makes you do strange, selfless things occasionally. My children started asking for a cat. I said no, of course. My home was my safe place. No cats allowed. For some years they asked for a cat, on and off. Eventually, the “why we should get a cat” lists started getting toilet-roll long and I started thinking, maybe we can get a kitten. Kittens are cute. I started watching videos. Kittens were cute….
(15) BIG SIXTIES FINISH. Victoria Silverwolf wraps up a review of a famous anthology: “[January 10, 1968] Saving the Best For Last (Dangerous Visions, Part Three)” at Galactic Journey.
Welcome to the last of our three discussions about an anthology of original fantasy and science fiction that’s drawing a lot of attention. Love it or hate it, or maybe a little of both, it’s impossible to ignore….
(16) ALAS, POOR UNIVAC. Arturo Serrano brings us “Microreview [book]: Hamlet, Prince of Robots by M. Darusha Wehm” at Nerds of a Feather.
No longer the seat of Danish monarchy, Elsinore is now a corporation, a leading manufacturer of human-like robots. The murdered Hamlet senior was the Humanoid Artificial Mind (Learned Emotive Type), a model that represented a huge leap ahead in robotic innovation. Instead of a queen, Gertrude is a CEO, whose hopes for Elsinore’s bottom line now depend on the success of her latest creation, the Hamlet v.2. If the company doesn’t maintain dominance of the robot market, its (figurative) throne will be snatched by its main competitor, which is aggressively promoting a rival model, the Fortinbras. But one night, a portion of old code from Hamlet v.1 copies itself into the hard drive of Hamlet v.2, and a quest for revenge begins to take shape.
Everything’s better with robots, and a retelling of one of the biggest classics in the Western canon is a sure attention grabber….
(17) ON THE SHELF. Nerds of a Feather’s Paul Weimeralso asked the Hamlet author for recommendations in “Six Books with M. Darusha Wehm”.
1. What book are you currently reading?
I’ve had it on my shelf since it came out, but only just started The Book of Flora by Meg Elison. It’s the third and final book in the “Road to Nowhere” series, which starts with The Book of the Unnamed Midwife. The whole series is an incredible, post-apocalyptic saga of the struggles of communities in dark times. I’ve loved the two previous books in the series, but while the books offer stories of human resilience, they are also harrowing to read, so I’ve had to space them out in my reading time….
(18) VIDEO OF THE DAY. In case you missed the Sixties we offer “The Complete 14 Batman Window Cameos”.
[Thanks to Mike Kennedy, John King Tarpinian, Chris Barkley, Jo Van, Daniel Dern, Andrew Porter, Michael Toman, JJ, and Cat Eldridge for some of these stories. Title credit belongs to File 770 contributing editor of the day Andrew (not Werdna).]

Of course, I’d never seek to deliberately raise or lower the rating of a film, but considering all that’s wrong in the world, does Table 19 really deserve a one-star rating and a miserly 25 per-cent positive for reviews on Rotten Tomatoes? I’m not saying this is a masterpiece, or even a hidden gem, but in the days of so few good rom-coms, there’s plenty of simple pleasures to be found in this Duplass brothers story of the souls unfortunate enough to be dumped at the outpost of Table 19 at a posho society wedding. As part of my ongoing The Films of Anna Kendrick; A Personal Journey sidebar, I thought I’d take a forensic look at the form, content and subtextual meaning of this film; care to join me at Table 19?
Director Jeffrey Blitz rewrote the Duplass script for this, and it’s a little lighter and more upbeat than their usual style. Eloise McGarry (Anna Kendrick) is introduced setting fire to her ex-friend’s wedding invitation, but turns up anyway, only to find she’s not at the top table, or even a mediocre one; she’s right by the toilets at table 19, alongside a motely collection of losers including The Office creator Stephen Merchant, US Office star Craig Robinson, Friends Lisa Kudrow and the redoubtable June Squibb as a pot-smoking nanny.
Yet more references to The Breakfast Club are obvious and unflattering, particularly given that Pitch Perfect hung on the same peg, but if you don’t know that movie, there’s some gentle fun to be gained in seeing how Eloise and co rebel against the wedding elite and end up subverting the whole show. There’s also a selection of 80’s hits reworked for a wedding band which is a good, comic choice, and Wyatt Russell makes a good fist as Eloise’s eccentric ex who comes to realise that he might just have missed out on something good.
Table 19 was filmed in Atlanta and was a Fox Searchlight production, meaning that this odd, uneven little film now ends up on Disney+, and might just connect with part of the audience it missed out on in cinemas. There’s some fun with a destroyed wedding cake, plenty of cringe comedy, and even if Merchant’s goggle-eyed loser strains credulity at times, Kendrick keeps things on point. Chilling can be a desirable thing in a movie, and Table 19, for all its flaws, goes down easily enough as an 90 minutes-or-less amuse-bouche when a heavy meal seems like too much hassle.

Consolidating Financial Statements: Determining the Functional Currency
When consolidating a foreign subsidiary's financial statements with those of the parent company, the correct identification of the subsidiary's functional currency is critical.
Commonly the subsidiary's functional currency is the local currency, but sometimes the functional currency is the parent's reporting currency or some third currency.
Selected IFRS Guidance for Determining the Functional Currency:
The subsidiary's functional currency is the currency that influences sales prices.
The subsidiary's functional currency is the currency of the country whose regulations and competitive structure influences sales prices.
Selected GAAP Guidance for Determining Functional Currency:
When the subsidiary is a relatively self-contained, independent business operation, operating primarily in local markets, then the local currency is the functional currency.
When the subsidiary is heavily integrated with the parent company and it serves as sales outlet type function for the parent, then the subsidiary's functional currency is the parent's reporting currency.
While GAAP and IFRS require certain disclosures regarding the treatment of foreign currency when consolidating multinational operations, parent company management retains some discretion in determining the functional currency. A well trained financial analyst must be aware that two companies in the same industry may use different translation methods. For comparability purposes, it is recommended to move all translation adjustments to equity from the balance sheet to the income statement.

Lists in Python
Lists are the most significant and flexible sequence types in Python. A list in Python is simply an ordered collection of items each of which can be of any type. A list is a dynamic mutable data structure which means that items can be added to and deleted from it.
List constants are surrounded by square brackets and the elements in the list are separated by commas. The individual elements of the list can be accessed using the square brackets by specifying the item's index. The first element is at index 0. Indexes range from 0 to n-1 (where n is the length of the list) and from -1 to -n.
Lists are heterogeneous, i.e., values can be of any type (strings are homogeneous because their elements are characters).
The following is an example of a list and how we can access elements of the list.
>>> vals = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] # Define a new list >>> vals # Print List [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] >>> vals # Print first item in list 1 >>> vals # print fourth item in list 4 >>> i = 2 # Create a Variable >>> vals # Pass the index value using the variable 3 >>>
An index value of −1 is used to reference the last item of a list and an index value of −2 is used to reference the previous to last item of the list. Examples below:
>>> vals[-1] # Access last item of the list 6 >>> vals[-2] # Access second last item of the list 5 >>>
Lists are Mutable
Lists are mutable, which means that the items of the list can change value by performing assignment on them. In the following example, we assign a new value of 12 to item at index 3.
>>> vals [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] >>> vals = 12 # Assign new value to item at index 3 >>> vals # Notice the change in value of vals [1, 2, 3, 12, 5, 6] >>>
The slicing operations are used to access a sublist of the list. The colon notation is used to specify the range of index values of the items. The first index value is written before the colon and the last index value is written after the colon. This indicates the range of index values from the start index value (inclusive) up to but not including the last index value (exclusive) specified.
In the following example, we first define a list called
mylist which contains 6 elements. The second command specifies a sublist of list
mylist, that includes the items starting with index value 0 up to but not including the item with index value 4. The third command assigns the sublist mylist[2:5] to variable
>>> mylist = [1,2,3,4,5,6] >>> mylist[0:4] [1, 2, 3, 4] >>> mysublist = mylist[2:5] >>> mysublist [3, 4, 5]
In a list, we can update a range of items using slicing and assignment. For example, the following command changes the values of items with index 0 and up to but not including the item with index value 2 with another set of values.
>>> mylist[0:2]=mylist[1:3] >>> mylist [2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6]
Using slicing, we can leave the second index value which implies that the range will be upto the last item. Similarly, we can leave the first index value which implies that the range of items starts with the first item of the list.
>>> mylist[2:] [3, 4, 5, 6] >>> mylist[:4] [2, 3, 3, 4]
Sometimes you may need to count the number of items in a list. This can be done using the
len() method as shown below:
>>> len('mylist') 6 >>>
Just like the
len() method, all Python objects have many methods attached to them which allow us to perform various actions on the objects. We will learn about these methods in the coming lessons.

Is bitcoin useful for anything, other than to sell it to someone else for more money? Defenders and detractors have been debating the usefulness of bitcoin as a means of payment, store of value or investment asset for many years. But there is a cryptocurrency that does have a clearer utility, and that JP Morgan hopes will end up surpassing bitcoin in value: Ethereum.
Despite these, the market value of bitcoin is more than double that of ether. The popularity and “stamina” of ether would be justified by blockchain-based financial services and the proliferation of digital collectibles in recent months (NFT).
“Ether will likely overtake bitcoin at some point in the future as it will outperform when it comes to innovation and developer interest,” Tegan Kline, co-founder of blockchain software company Edge & Node, told Bloomberg. However, the expert also recommended investors to allocate capital to both tokens.
Some experts warn that the speed of change in the crypto sector makes the forecast dangerous at times. Still, strategists at Goldman Sachs Group and star investor Cathie Wood are among some of the biggest figures in the crypto world who highlighted the potential of ether recently. More generally, interest in virtual currencies has expanded beyond “traditional” bitcoin, whose 1.6 trillion shares of the total market value of cryptocurrencies has dropped to 42% from the 70% it held. in 2021, according to data from CoinGecko.
What do experts say?
In a report, Goldman Sachs strategists Mikhail Sprogis and Jeff Currie warned that there is a high probability that the world’s largest digital currency will eventually lose its crown as the dominant digital store of value to others. cryptocurrencies with greater practical use and technological agility.
Investment bank experts added that ether seems the most likely candidate to outperform bitcoin, they also warned that this prediction is far from certain. In turn, they added that “the annual growth in the supply of ether has a ceiling, thus contributing to its credentials as a store of value.”
Pat LaVecchia, CEO of cryptocurrency broker Oasis Pro Markets LLC, argues that ether is starting to be seen “as a better long-term growth story.”
However, for some experts, bitcoin will defend itself against its rivals to stay in the first place, especially due to the large amount of attention it receives.
Andrew Kiguel, CEO of Tokens.com, argues that the world’s largest cryptocurrency has the best external validation signals, as institutions and moguls like Musk continue to talk about it, while some companies have started to accept it as a means of payment. “Bitcoin will continue to be the king of cryptocurrencies, it has too great an advantage for ethereum to catch: a fixed supply of just 21 million coins,” said Edward Moya, analyst at Oanda Corp.
Market cap differences
Bitcoin has the largest market cap of all cryptocurrencies, and Ethereum has the second place. As of July 2021, the market cap for Bitcoin is $603,637,991,090. Ethereum’s market cap is $232,212,421,389. The market cap of Bitcoin is around 2.5 higher than Ethereum. This means that there is a huge room for growth for Ethereum.
Ethereum’s Yield Farming
One big difference between Ethereum and Bitcoin is that Ethereum allows yield farming. They can simply get rewards by holding Ethereum. Yield farming allows holders to get returns by allowing others to use their assets for a period of time.
Defi and Ethereum
DeFi (Decentralized Finance) or decentralized finance, are a set of open-source protocols, based on blockchain, which allow creating financial products, similar to traditional ones. These allow free access to all people, and it is not necessary to trust intermediaries, since everything is based on smart contracts that make everything automatic, without human intervention.
Ethereum has become one of the most widespread DeFi cryptocurrencies and this is one of the main reasons why Ethereum is dominating in compression to Bitcoin. Some even argue that Ethereum has more uses than Bitcoin, which is regularly stored as gold to gain value in the future.
Will Ethereum the tortoise that beats the hare?
Despite the great advantage of Bitcoin as a Crypto Debit Card, and other financial use cases, many compare the rivalry of BTC and ETH with the fable of The Hare and the Tortoise. ETH is the tortoise that advances slowly but surely, and BTC is the hare that loses due to an excess of confidence.
ETH is the native cryptocurrency that powers the blockchain protocol for smart contracts: the Ethereum network. The value of ETH is therefore driven by the growth of Ethereum as a platform for commercial use. Ethereum is the main network in the management of smart contracts and transactions, and the network in which the majority of cryptocurrencies and crypto assets are generated. We can’t ignore this is a promising market with great potential growth in the future.
In a recent report to its shareholders, JP Morgan bets on the slow but successful race of the Ethereum “the tortoise” against Bitcoin “thehare”. The main argument is that the speculative “hype” of BTC will end, and the dazzling race of the hare will come to an end. On the other hand, the tortoise will continue its slow but constant growth supported by its business model, its real application, and its consequent greater liquidity.
The business model of Ethereum
While the Bitcoin blockchain only allows sending and receiving BTC, Ethereum is a much more complex environment. In addition to making transactions with ETH, it also allows users to write code, create new cryptocurrencies and even make smart contracts that are activated automatically when predetermined conditions are met by the parties. For this reason, certain analysts such as JP Morgan believe that its value will be higher in the long term. “Since having a part of this potential activity is more valuable, the theory says that ETH should have better returns than Bitcoin in the long term”.
ETH’s three strengths are detailed in the JP Morgan report:
- Greater liquidity
- Stronger demand
- Less dependence on derivatives markets
The report further suggests that demand for ETH is stronger for two reasons:
- The greater variety of uses of the Ethereum blockchain compared to Bitcoin
- The fact that most of Bitcoin’s operations take place in “exchangers”, such as Coinbase, which do not use the main chain but internal account systems, like any bank
Ultimately, the report bets on the long-term success of Ethereum based primarily on its increased commercial use.
Based on this data, Ethereum might overtake Bitcoin in market cap and value. While Bitcoin has been the biggest crypto asset to ever exist, Ethereum is right behind and growing as investors realize what it can do. The good news is that experts agree that Ethereum is in its early stages. A small investment now will likely yield huge gains if held onto for several years. The “tortoise and the hare” debate will one day end with Ethereum likely winning the race. The key is to hold Ethereum through the highs and the lows.

“You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover is yourself.” – Alan Alda
It’s a damn, hard process. Intellectually, we know that the biggest areas of resistance in our lives are the areas of greatest growth, but are any of us ever prepared for the mental and emotional toughness that is required to overcome them? Isn’t it interesting that if we want to lose weight or get fit, we train our physical bodies by slowly increasing the amount or intensity of our workouts. How do we train our minds and emotional states in the same way?
I think one of the biggest reasons why we fail at resolving issues is that we put off dealing with it for so long, then when we can’t stand it anymore, we try to confront it and fix it then and there. Think about some areas of resistance in your life. I’ll bet the first ones that cross your mind are the ones that have been festering there for years, perhaps even decades. We can lie to others, but not to ourselves. For me, one of my biggest lifelong issues (and I didn’t even realise it was such an issue) was gaining independence and sticking to my own belief systems. I’d be so caught up with pleasing authority figures (parents, teachers, bosses) because that was my standard of being an ‘exceptional’ human being. I didn’t have a strong sense of what I wanted to achieve in life or who I wanted to be so I would subconsciously adopt the values of the social system. I can definitively say that it’s only through my entrepreneurial journey that I’ve had the freedom (and desperation) of having to really soul-search to find a way of thinking, a way of feeling, a way of acting, that feels true to myself. It’s a long journey, even though life is short. It’s also a daily commitment, of making one choice at a time that gets us closer to where we want to be.
My point is, we should approach our biggest issues with the same mentality that we approach our physical goals. Let’s start with the training. Let’s train ourselves to take one step away from the city of our comfort and one step towards the wilderness of our intuition every day. Let’s do one small thing today, and every day, that we wouldn’t have done yesterday. Today I honked my horn at a car whose bonnet was sticking out dangerously onto the main road and I saw in my rear-view mirror that they then reversed their car a little. Usually I would’ve been too shy to, but I felt proud of myself for taking this small action. Over time, we WILL develop the mental and emotional resilience to deal with our bigger problems in life, without that feeling of guilt and avoidance looming over us.

I like to lift heavy stuff, which means I’m always looking for great ways to get more protein in my life. And what better way now that the weather is getting cold, than to sip it hot?
Yep, I’m talking about bone broth.
At first, the name totally turned me off. It sounds like something my grandmother would have tried to force on me to get rid of a cold when I was a kid … something I probably would have rolled my eyes at. But bone broth has been used throughout history all over the world due to its simplicity. It’s an inexpensive traditional food that packs a powerful nutritive punch.
What Is Bone Broth?
Unlike traditional broths, bone broth is made with (you guessed it) bones which have been roasted, then simmered in water. Unlike stock, bone broth is simmered for anywhere from 8 to upwards of 24 hours. While the bones are simmering, minerals and other nutrients leach from the bones into the bone broth, especially if cider vinegar has been added like in the Bonafide Provisions bone broths that I use.
Bone broth is rich in all sorts of helpful stuff like protein, glycine, gelatin, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, glucosamine, chondroiton, and other trace minerals.
Two Ways to Enjoy It
1. Straight up. I really kinda dig it this way. Unlike a protein shake, bone broth is thin so you don’t really even feel like you’re drinking your nutrition (which is still the part that bugs me about protein shakes). And it was actually pretty soothing to have a cup of it in the evening as I was settling in for the night. It was like having a cup of protein tea — if there could be such a thing.
Just be sure that you go with one of the more nutrient-dense brands — so many of the bone broths on the market seem kinda watery and lack flavor. Read the labels and verify that the broth is minimally-processed in order to preserve the nutrient density rather than degrade it. Also, be sure to check the sodium content so that you’re not going overboard there.
2. In a “latte.” When the people at Bonafide Provisions sent me this recipe to try, I was equal parts intrigued and skeptical, but their bone broth latte turned out to be pretty tasty. It was a slightly thicker and smoother method for downing the beverage. Somehow it really did feel a little fancier. Here’s the recipe so you can give it a shot, too.
Bone Broth Latte
16 ounces chicken bone broth
¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
½ teaspoon rosemary
Celtic Sea Salt and Black Pepper, to taste
1 ½ tablespoons ghee (for those who can’t tolerate lactose or casein) or grassfed butter
1 lemon wedge
- In a medium saucepan, heat up the broth on medium heat until it begins to simmer. Add spices and turn the temperature down to low. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and transfer to a high-speed blender pitcher. Add ghee plus a squeeze of lemon wedge and blend on medium-high for 30 seconds until frothy and well combined. Serve right away.
How do you take your bone broth? —Alison

High protein, low-calorie meal prep breakfast burritos are filled with scrambled eggs and egg whites, avocado, cheddar cheese, and bacon to make eating a healthy breakfast a whole lot easier.
Make Ahead Breakfast
Getting a healthy breakfast in the morning can be tough, especially if you're eating a high protein diet. Most pre-made breakfasts tend to be pretty heavy on the fat and carbs and not so much on protein. So I meal prep breakfast A LOT.
Ingredients and Substitutions
- Eggs and Egg Whites: Each burrito will end up with about 1 egg and 2 egg whites. If you're not eating a low-calorie diet, feel free to make it all whole eggs. Substitute the egg whites with 3 additional eggs.
- Cheese: I like cheddar cheese with my breakfast burritos, but you can really use any cheese you like.
- Avocado: After a couple of days, the flavor of the avocado will start to get stronger. If you want to serve it with guacamole on the side or have the avocado separate, that works as well.
- Center Cut Bacon: I used center cut bacon because it tends to be a little lower in calories - but any bacon, sausage, or ham will work deliciously. It will, however, change up the nutritional value.
LOW CARB TORTILLAS
The tortillas I use are La Banderita Carb Counter and are only 45 calories each. There are several other brands out there that are just as good, but these are my favorite.
Assembling meal prep breakfast burritos burritos is pretty straight forward. Simply divide all the ingredients out evenly over your 6 tortillas.
I seal up both ends when rolling them up so they're easier to eat and wrap in foil. I fold the ends in first, then fold one side over, tuck it under the ingredients and then tightly roll them up.
If these are for meal prep, I'll have 6 small sheets of foil waiting wrap them in to keep them tight and fresh.
Fresh Pico De Gallo
Fresh, homemade pico de gallo goes great with these burritos. All you do to make it is marinade 1 diced Roma tomato, 2 tablespoons minced onion, 1 garlic clove minced, and 2 tablespoons of minced cilantro minced in the juice of half a lime. If you want a little extra kick - add ½ a jalapeño, minced.
[su_highlight background="#a4bcb2" color="#ffffff"]QUICK TIP:[/su_highlight] Feel free to use salsa or store-bought pico de gallo if you're in a pinch for time. Fresh pico is just easy and, well, fresher.
Storage and Freezing
Store the burritos in the fridge for up to 5 days. Wrap them in foil or store them in an airtight container like a zip-top bag or storage container.
Breakfast burritos freeze great, BUT you're going to wanna ditch the avocado if you're planning on storing these in the freezer.
Place the foil-wrapped burritos in a large freezer bag and keep them in the fridge for up to 2 months. Don't even worry about thawing them, just reheat them in the microwave right away for 90 seconds.

Meal Prep Mini Breakfast Burritos
FOR THE BURRITOS
- 6 strips bacon
- 4 eggs
- ¾ cup egg whites
- Salt and pepper
- 6 (8-inch) low carb tortillas
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 large avocado (cut into strips)
- Juice of ½ a lime
FOR THE PICO DI GALLO
- 1 roma tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons minced onion
- 1 garlic clove (minced)
- 2 tablespoons cilantro (minced)
- Juice of ½ a lime
- COOK THE BACON EGGS: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon strips and cook 3 minutes per side, or until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan and allow to cook on a paper towel-lined plate. Pour out all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease from the pan and reduce the heat to medium-low.
- MAKE THE EGGS: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and egg whites until fully blended. Pour the eggs into the prepared pan and season with salt and pepper to taste. Pull back the edges of the eggs as they begin to firm and continue to stir or move with a spatula until the eggs are cooked through and fluffy. Transfer to another plate line with a paper towel.*
- MAKE THE PICO DI GALLO: In a small bowl, combine all of the pico di gallo ingredients and stir. Refrigerate while assembling the burritos.
- STUFF TO BURRITOS: Lay out all of the tortillas. Chop or crumble the bacon into ½-inch pieces. Arrange a small strip of bacon pieces on each tortillas, followed by the cheese and eggs and then the avocado. Brush a small amount of the lime juice over the avocado. Season each burrito with additional salt and pepper.
- FOLD AND FOIL THE BURRITOS: Fold in the ends of the tortilla and then fold over one side and roll up tight. Wrap the burritos in foil for storage and serve each burrito with 2 tablespoons of pico di gallo.
- Egg whites tend to hold a lot of water. Allowing that moisture to drain off for a bit will prevent your burritos from getting soggy.
- Store the burritos in the fridge for up to 5 days
- Freeze the burritos, wrapped tightly in foil and placed in a freezer bag for up to 2 months.
