When it comes to mainstream watches, do you find it challenging to get them? Price increases, reductions, and distribution of goods, a series of requirements, are still being determined. Of course, some watch friends will say that whether it is a price reduction or price increase, it is the same for rich people; but for ordinary people, price increase and decrease mean that the threshold for entering the world of famous watches has increased. In the world of favorite looks, especially renowned Swiss watches replica, why should production be reduced and prices raised? What is the reason behind this? Hello everyone, the prices of Swiss luxury watches are increasing further and moving away from the “mass masses.” Previously, some foreign media also analyzed this phenomenon. Rolex Day Calendar 228235 The public price of Swiss watches is constantly increasing. Players should have noticed that the price of famous Swiss watches has risen rapidly in the past few years. Although it is the custom of luxury goods to increase the price every year, a large part of the price increases and the frequency of price increases are very high. Let’s take a look at how much the prices of mainstream watches on the market have increased in the past ten years: Rolex Greenwich Lefty Sprite Bezel Rolex has a black ghost. The public price ten years ago was more than RMB 60,000, and the current general price is more than RMB 80,000; the Omega Seamaster 300 meters, the public price was RMB 28,000 10 years ago, and the current public price is RMB 4. 20,000 yuan; Jaeger-LeCoultre master moon phase, the general cost was more than RMB 60,000 10 years ago, and now the public price is RMB 86,000; Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15,400, the public price was more than RMB 130,000 10 years ago, and now the general cost is 15,510 RMB 195,000; Patek Philippe 5227, the public price was RMB 250,000 10 years ago, and now the public price is RMB 313,000. Although, in the secondary market of famous watches, the price of favorite watches goes up and down and keeps changing, the general cost of famous watches is constantly rising. This is the first I have heard of a renowned look with an available price of RMB 100,000 this year and 80,000 next year. Jaeger-LeCoultre REVERSO Tribute Flip The output of famous Swiss watches has remained the same but decreased, and the proportion of expensive favorite watches is increasing. Two phenomena are worth attention to behind the rising public prices of famous Swiss watches. - The output of famous Swiss watches has remained the same but decreased. According to the export data of favorite Swiss watches, the export volume of famous Swiss watches in 2022 will be 15.8 million. In 2015, the export volume of Swiss watches was 28 million. The current export volume is nearly half that of the past. Lange Odysseus, white gold model - The number of expensive watches is increasing while the number of entry-level watches is decreasing. Among the famous watches exported by Switzerland, since 2015, the export volume of gold watches has risen by 14%, the export volume of steel watches has dropped by 8%, and the public price of famous watches above 3,000 Swiss francs (that is, watches above RMB 24,000), the export volume increased by 34%. The export volume of favorite looks with a public price below 3,000 Swiss francs (below RMB 24,000) decreased by 17%. Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711A green plate To sum it up in one sentence, the production of famous Swiss watches has decreased; there have been fewer cheap watches and more expensive watches. For example, Patek Philippe stopped production of the steel-cased Nautilus 5711A and directly replaced it with the platinum case 5811G, which significantly increased the public price and positioning again; Rolex, most players want a steel-cased sports model, but Rolex controls the production of steel watches. More gold shell models are available. The mainstream watches in the market are trying their best to increase the price and grade. Patek philippe replica. Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar 26607 Why are famous watches more and more expensive? Because Switzerland “does it on purpose.” The fact is that famous watches are getting farther and farther away from the “broad masses.” A reality among players is that they like a look and feel that the price is a bit high, but if they wait to buy it, they may not be able to buy it in the future. Just like Lange’s previous wave of price increases, the price increase is surprising. But why? Because Switzerland “does it on purpose.” RICHARD MILLE RM67-02 Since the birth of quartz watches in the 1970s, and the emergence of smartwatches such as Apple watches today, the Swiss have realized that mechanical watches cannot compete with performance, so they have to work hard to become “the top of luxury goods.” In this way, it is clearly distinguished from mass products such as quartz watches and smartwatches. Patek Philippe Chronograph Perpetual Calendar 5204P According to news from the domestic watch industry, since the popularity of smartwatches such as the Apple Watch, the sales of entry-level watches with a public price below 20,000 have been greatly affected. The higher-priced eyes are not affected. From the sales rankings of famous watches for the past six consecutive years, we can also see that in addition to Rolex, Cartier, and Omega’s perennial monopoly of the top 3, Longines and Tissot have always been in the forefront before. Still, in the sales ranking 2022, Longines used to be No. 4; the fifth place has been occupied by Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, and RICHARD MILLE. Tissot has fallen out of the top 10, and Breitling and Vacheron Constantin have entered the top 10. Tudor Biwan bronze, Baucar blue plate. From the perspective of specific watches, the Rolex Submariner (Submariner), from the historical aluminum ring and acrylic glass to the current use of ceramic rings and sapphire glass, is constantly updating the movement, adding luxury configurations, and increasing the added value of the watch. In recent years, Tudor has gone from no certification to having observatory certification and then to master observatory certification with 15,000 Gauss antimagnetic, which also constantly increases the value of watches. In addition, Panerai launched buying watches, so you can experience yachting activities and SEAL training to increase the added value of watches. The public price of famous watches will be higher every year than before. The threshold for entry is also rising, especially for top positioning watches such as Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, and Lange & Söhne. The difficulty of access in recent years has been more incredible than in the past. On the one hand, the public price of entry watches has increased, and on the other hand, entry watches Supplies are also dwindling and focusing on offering more complex styles. Faced with these situations, unless you get out of the pit and stop buying watches, working hard to make money is the only way.

Why the weird dates? Click here to find out! Other “weekly challenges”: We’re a Jewish family of 6 (2 parents, 4 kids) and all our meals are kosher. Read my MPM intro here or just visit my big ol’ list of Everything We Eat. We eat mostly vegetarian, with one vegan meal every single week – on Vegan Vursday, of course! Staying on the wagon… staying on the wagon… staying on the wagon. Washing every single dish in the house 2, sometimes 3 times a day, it seems like. I think I explained last week, but Ted usually does LOTS (all?) of the dishes. But between now and Pesach, he’s on Pesach Patrol, while I’m pulling my weight on Dish Duty. And schooling the kids. And laundry. And some freelance writing… and whatnot. Needless to say, what we eat is taking a very definite backseat for the next few weeks. And don’t even ask what I’m doing for shalach manos (mishloach manot, baskets of food we send out on Purim) this year; for probably the first time EVER, I simply have no clue. Here’s the Purim fairy – maybe she’ll lend us a hand, or at least, a passing inspiration. :-o Here’s what’s on the (uninspired) menu this week: Sunday (last night): Filo-dough pizza, salad, tiramisu and chocolate molten cakes for my sister Abigail’s birthday – which is tomorrow. Yay, her! Monday (Ted off): Bread from leftover rosemary/potato dough, spaghetti, tomato sauce, frozen veggies on the side. Tuesday: Salmon (tinned, fresh, frozen?) quesadillas Wednesday: Chicken & rice dish – easy, easy Thursday (Ted late, Vegan Vursday): (pareve, eggless) Oven-baked mushroom crepes, frozen peas tinned carrots on the side – pea soup? Maybe not peas AND peas… maybe a different side veg! :-) Shabbos: Yeah, right.	<urn:uuid:d8824b95-897b-4a8f-ae50-b0acf9077df6>	CC-MAIN-2023-40	https://www.mamaland.org/2011/02/menu-planning-monday-33-24-adar-1-5771.html	2023-09-29T23:16:56Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00198.warc.gz	en	0.905629	470

- The Kraft Heinz Company debuted two campaigns ahead of Mother's Day — one for Kraft and another for Maxwell House — that recognize the hard and often underappreciated work moms put into supporting themselves and their families, according to separate company news releases. - The effort from Kraft asks moms to take a "Mother's Day Away" and enjoy "me-time" activities they often can't when handling parental duties, like dining out at "kid-unfriendly restaurants" or sleeping in on the weekend. To support that break time, Kraft will foot the bill for up to $100 in babysitter fees. Participants in the campaign, who are encouraged to share their ideal holiday plans on social media, can submit their receipts to a dedicated microsite on Mother's Day to receive their compensation. - Maxwell House is spotlighting the "invisible" labor of moms through a video that features expectant parents receiving surprise advice from their own mothers while attending a birthing class. Inspired by research that shows eight out of 10 surveyed moms would rather spend quality time with their kids than receive material gifts for Mother's Day, the coffee brand is also running a Mother's Day Market pop-up store in New York City through May 8. Visitors can create personalized cards or call and video chat their moms to show their appreciation. Ads from the company will run in Times Square and The New York Times around the holiday. Kraft Heinz is mixing together video, experiential and personalization-driven marketing to draw interest toward its Kraft and Maxwell House labels ahead of Mother's Day. Moms are a key buyer segment for the packaged foods giant, and the creative for both campaigns pushes back against the materialism often associated with holidays to instead focus on parental self-care and fostering deeper connections with family. Recognizing the stresses of being a mom has become a common refrain for Kraft Heinz. One of Kraft's buzzier Mother's Day efforts in recent years, "Swear Like a Mom," included a viral video of moms' swears being censored by family-friendly alternatives. The brand also doled out special ear plugs so kids could block out their parents' curse-laden outbursts in real life, which quickly went out of stock. Aligning with its coffee focus, Maxwell House continues to lean less into humor and more into purpose-driven messaging around providing energy for labor, which has proved successful in the past. A campaign the company ran for Labor Day last year similarly focused on the "real hands of hardworking Americans" and featured a contest for a paid day off. A YouGov analysis of the effort found it resulted in an increase in brand awareness and purchase consideration for Maxwell House in the weeks after launch. Kraft Heinz needs to spur more sales and attract stronger interest in its flagship brands like Kraft as it weathers internal turmoil and changing consumer perceptions of processed packaged foods. The company wrote down the value of Kraft and Oscar Mayer by $15.4 billion in February, which has sent its stock value plummeting and led to high executive turnover. Over the weekend, the company confirmed that Eduardo Luz, U.S. CMO and global brand officer, would be leaving at the end of May. Luz handles marketing for more than 200 Kraft Heinz brands around the world and leads marketing for Heinz, Kraft and Planters in the U.S.	<urn:uuid:40f75131-c2a6-4378-b0b2-042086334273>	CC-MAIN-2023-40	https://www.marketingdive.com/news/how-kraft-heinz-plans-to-give-moms-a-break-for-mothers-day/554254/	2023-09-29T22:47:00Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00198.warc.gz	en	0.963163	697

Of course, the differences can be found in once you check the particular foam used, the density, country of manufacture, non-toxic certifications or maybe you can find any additives like copper or gel. It can be considerably distinct from memory foam, latex and spring mattresses. Polyurethane foam has a fast response time in addition to lots of support for yourself as you sleep but these features vary with the density. Various bed-in-a-box brands depend upon varying densities from the foam to guarantee support for that layers.Bedding Industries Of America Saatva In some instances, the content is infused with gel to enable the bed to be cool. Polyurethane foam is available in different types of firmness but different brands blend it with many other materials including memory foam or latex to enhance the amount of comfort. Much like memory foam, latex is actually a contouring material. However, you don’t sink in it slowly when compared with memory foam. Additionally, it incorporates some bounce so it’s excellent for sexually active couples. There are two varieties of latex for mattresses. •Natural – It can be pulled from the sap of the rubber tree. It is expensive but durable. •Synthetic – It will always be petroleum-based. Should you be on a budget and looking to purchase a latex mattress, you ought to search for one with a mix of both natural and synthetic latex. Hybrid mattresses are a combination of latex or foam plus innerspring coils. The bottom of the bed is composed of coils as well as the top layers are constructed from different types of foam to make sure support and proper cushioning.Bedding Industries Of America Saatva Hybrid mattresses are viewed just a little expensive. However, they are an excellent choice for folks who still adore innerspring mattresses.Bedding Industries Of America Saatva 5.Cooling And AirflowBedding Industries Of America Saatva You want a bed that keeps you cool as you may sleep all year round. Once you go to sleep your system temperature reduces as you may dump heat. When you are lying on a mattress which is a heat trap you might be likely likely to become hot and uncomfortable. Traditional memory foam is recognized for being a heat trap. If you are thinking of buying a memory foam mattress and you have complications with overheating, you need to find one with cooling properties. You need to try to find something with infusions of copper or gel to conduct heat and take it out of your whole body. You may also buy something which includes an open cell construction to enhance breathability and proper airflow.Bedding Industries Of America Saatva You can also go with a different form of material much like the ones stated previously. As an illustration, latex and hybrid mattresses allow you to sleep cooler. However, if you sleep hot, you want to pay attention to the best layer of your bed and what it’s crafted from to help you choose an issue that can keep you cool through the night.Bedding Industries Of America Saatva 6.Price And Value When you shop at a physical store, you can’t select the price and quality of your mattress. Their prices mostly depend on deals in between the manufacturer and retailer. It may also be what they already want to move fast or what they desire to maintain around for longer. Basically, there is absolutely no transparency if you are looking for a mattress at a physical store.Bedding Industries Of America Saatva However, when buying one online, you may judge what you are buying dependant upon the price. The highest priced brands rely on the best materials and use one of the most natural substances rather than synthetic ones. They have higher density ratings. Mattresses offered for $600 usually perform well compared to individuals in physical stores. If you find a queen bed choosing $500 and less, you need to do the research so you can avoid sagging after a year. Should you be looking to buy hybrid mattresses, you must expect to pay more since they have a sophisticated construction along with a mix of premium materials.Bedding Industries Of America Saatva 7.Company Reputation And Support When purchasing a mattress online you are going to be unable to check out a showroom or meet with an agent. In case the company has a showroom and you also live close to it, you can examine it out. However, typically, you need to consider the company’s online reputation by checking their website and social websites. You must be able to discern whether they are reputable and provide quality mattresses. Luckily, read online reviews from verified purchasers before purchasing a mattress online. Look through the FAQ page about the company’s web site to identify the return policies if you purchase something you don’t like. Companies with lengthy and versatile warranties are an indication of premium products.Bedding Industries Of America Saatva A company that backs their product for a lifetime warranty is more credible than a single that only backs their products for a year. Always see the fine print to discover what the policy says in order to meet the industry standards. What You Must Know Before Purchasing 1.The Way It Is Against Purchasing A Cheap Model Should you be buying a mattress and also the deal sounds too good to be real, it probably is. You will probably find something taking a few hundred bucks and become lured to buy. When evaluating a mattress online, many of the products look quite similar. You will find different buzzwords repeatedly. However, you will find what exactly you need to watch out for. A mattress being offered for $200 has cheaper materials when compared with one selecting $600, $1000 or higher. Remember that a cheaply constructed mattress begins sagging as time passes. Also, these cheap materials can be toxic, especially foam materials. If you find a mattress that is comparable to another high-priced brand, you have to look closer. For instance, look into the safety certifications in the materials, the warranty policy and check the shipping charges. You could be lured towards the site because of the reasonable prices but the delivery charges is going to be astronomical. Occasionally, getting a cheaper mattress is good, especially for a guest room.Bedding Industries Of America Saatva 2.Avoid Memory Foam In The Event You Sleep Hot As mentioned above, some materials make the body heat up when sleeping during the night. If you get too hot through the night, you have to be careful when buying memory foam mattresses. The cheaper materials depend on pure memory foam that traps your system heat. As a result, sleeping on these mattresses can be very uncomfortable.Bedding Industries Of America Saatva Rather, you should choose a latex or a hybrid mattress. On the other hand, innerspring allows proper air flow thereby which makes it cool to fall asleep on through the night comfortably. Of course, you can’t memory foam mattresses completely as a result of insufficient temperature control. If you need a memory foam mattress, you should choose something that accompanies a breathable design, copper or gel infusions that take away the heat away from your body.Bedding Industries Of America Saatva 3.Check The Warranty Policies Carefully When purchasing a fresh mattress, you should look at the warranty policies carefully. Brands with all the best products have long warranty periods. You will come across warranties going for as long as a decade or even a lifetime dependant upon the brand. Of course, there are other points to consider besides the duration of the warranty. You need to check so what can be included in the warranty claim. As an example, the fine print should dictate exactly how much sag your mattress must have in order to create a warranty claim. The claim should mention something similar to an indentation which may be about .75 to 1.5 inches. If the number is less, the insurance plan is fantastic for you. That’s because by the time your bed sags by an inch along with a half, you could be too miserable. Remember that a 1.5-inch sag could mean that the middle part of the body is sinking in a pit. It means that the body’s alignment is utterly thrown off.Bedding Industries Of America Saatva Conclusion Bedding Industries Of America Saatva It may possibly seem a little bit odd to purchase something online without trying it all out. However, additionally, it feels weird walking in to a showroom and lying on the bed while fully clothed. Far worse, the fluorescent lights are bearing upon you as being the annoying salesman keeps asking irritating questions so that you can buy their mattress of choice and have a commission.Bedding Industries Of America Saatva With there being so many mattress companies available in the market, you will discover the very best quality, prices and more features of the most effective mattress for your sleeping needs.

President’s Letter: September 2018 Monthly observations and insights from MAS President Elizabeth Goldstein Sunday mornings are a precious time for me—a chance to read the real paper New York Times. Since I have moved to Queens, this ritual is now supplemented by a trip to the local farmers’ market. Sundays in New York are a particular pleasure, because most folks have slowed down a little and are enjoying family and friends or just a bit of time to themselves. This weekend I had an unexpected opportunity to walk down Third Avenue from the East 40s to the East Village. I am hardly ever on this stretch of the East Side so I grabbed the opportunity to take a long walk, getting some badly needed exercise as well as a little peek at a part of the city I know only casually. Folks were running errands, having late lunch, or just taking a walk themselves. It always strikes me when I get a chance like this to walk through several different neighborhoods in a row with enough time to observe, how much the streetscape changes the feel of the city. Does it feel intimate, or not? Warm or cold? Empty or vibrant? There isn’t much that feels intimate on Third Avenue. It is true to its avenue status, wide with a lot of roadbed and decent sidewalks. But when the edge of the sidewalk is full of neighborhood shops, it definitely feels more human. (And those mega chain drugstores every few blocks are not the kind of human-scale retail I am talking about—they are blind to the street and sterile to boot.) In the East 40s, when the streets become lined with office towers, it feels colder still, even when the sidewalk is busy. The UN is meeting in New York City this week, as any of you who have businesses or homes on the east side of Manhattan know. MAS isn’t particularly close to the UN, but we are kitty-corner to the hotel that seems to serve as the central domicile for visiting delegates and luminaries. It is amazing how the gathering transforms the sidewalks and streets of the neighborhood. Police barriers are everywhere, as are the police themselves and those guys (I have yet to see a woman) with the pins in their lapels and headsets in their ears. It makes me think about the delicate balance of sidewalk to roadbed. When it is disrupted—for good or bad, temporarily or permanently—it changes the whole dynamic of the city. Here in Midtown where there are pedestrians galore, a small barrier in the way means that foot traffic piles up very quickly. It means that folks are more frustrated. And it is particularly bad when there is no information to help you make smart choices. I was surprised to discover that this week was the first time that the City declared gridlock dates because of the UN Session. If I understand the Department of Transportation’s website correctly, only the days around the Thanksgiving and winter holidays have been declared traditionally—and they have really served as a warning for people in cars and other vehicles. What about gridlock days for our sidewalks? How do pedestrians find out before they have walked an avenue block that they can’t cross Fifth Avenue because there is a funeral going on at St. Patrick’s Cathedral? Or that almost every entrance to the Rockefeller Center subway station is closed for an event at Radio City? For a city of mass transit and walkers, we need to figure out how to aid the pedestrian better. I am not sure what the answer here is, but give me a Sunday on Third Avenue any time, rather than a Monday morning on Madison when the UN is in session. I wish you a weekend of good walking!

\|Organization:\|\|Massachusetts Department of Revenue\| \|Referenced Sources:\|\|Massachusetts General Laws\| Sales and Use Tax Please note that the Massachusetts sales/use tax rate was increased to 6.25% effective August 1, 2009. This Technical Information Release (TIR) explains: (1) the scope, application and purpose of the Massachusetts use tax; (2) the general rule exempting items from use tax to the extent that a similar tax on such items was paid to another U.S. state or local jurisdiction; and (3) some specific limitations to this exemption based on some states’ reciprocal treatment of sales and use taxes paid to Massachusetts. This TIR applies to the sale of motor vehicles and the sale of all other tangible personal property with the exception of boats and airplanes. It revokes and replaces TIR 91-7. II. Massachusetts Use Tax Massachusetts law imposes a use tax on tangible personal property purchased or leased outside Massachusetts for use, consumption or storage in Massachusetts if no Massachusetts sales tax was collected at the time of sale or lease. G.L. c. 64I, §§ 2 and 7(a). The sales tax and the use tax were designed to serve as “complementary components of a unitary taxing program created to reach all transactions (unless specifically exempted . . .) in which tangible personal property is sold inside or outside the Commonwealth for storage, use or other consumption within the Commonwealth.” Boston Tow Boat Co. v. State Tax Commission, 366 Mass. 474, 476-77 (1974). Without the use tax, out-of-state sales of items purchased for use in Massachusetts would escape tax altogether. If tangible personal property purchased outside Massachusetts is brought in state within six months of its purchase, it is presumed to have been purchased for use in the Commonwealth, and is subject to the Massachusetts use tax unless the taxpayer meets the burden of proving the contrary. See G.L. c. 64I § 8(f); DD 87-3. In contrast to the Massachusetts sales tax, which is usually collected by and paid to the Department of Revenue by the vendor who sells the tangible personal property, the purchaser generally pays the Massachusetts use tax directly to the Department of Revenue. The use tax is 5% of the sales price of the tangible personal property. III. Credit for Taxes Paid to Other Jurisdictions A taxpayer who has paid sales tax to another U.S. state or territory on purchases of items for use, storage, or other consumption in Massachusetts, is allowed a credit against any Massachusetts use tax otherwise due if (1) the other state or territory allows a corresponding credit with respect to sales or use tax paid to Massachusetts on property brought into the other jurisdiction; (2) a sales or similar tax was actually paid to another reciprocal state or (in some cases) local jurisdiction; and (3) the tax paid to the other jurisdiction was legally due without any right to a refund or credit. See G.L. c. 64I, § 7(c). If the amount paid the other jurisdiction is equal to or greater than 5%, no use tax is owed Massachusetts; where the tax is less than 5%, the tax due is the difference between the amount of Massachusetts use tax that would otherwise be owed and the amount of sales tax already paid. The tax due may not be reduced below zero. Note: There is no corresponding credit available for similar taxes that may have been paid to any foreign country or one of its political subdivisions. A. A Massachusetts resident made a $10,000 out-of-state purchase in a state with a 4% sales tax, and paid sales tax of $400 to the vendor. The Massachusetts use tax on such a purchase would be $500 (.05 x $10,000). A credit is allowed for the $400 already paid. The Massachusetts use tax owed is therefore $100. B. A Massachusetts resident made a $10,000 out-of-state purchase in a state with a 6% sales tax, and paid $600 in sales tax to the vendor. The Massachusetts use tax on such a purchase would be $500 (.05 x $10,000). A credit is allowed for the $600 already paid, which reduces the Massachusetts use tax liability to zero. No refund is made to the taxpayer, as the tax may not be reduced below zero. C. A Massachusetts resident made a $10,000 out-of-state purchase in a state with no sales tax. As nothing was paid in the other jurisdiction, the full amount of the Massachusetts use tax —$500 — is due and must be paid over to the Commissioner. V. Reciprocity with Other Jurisdictions A. The following jurisdictions have a credit similar to that provided in G.L. c. 64I, § 7(c) for all state taxes lawfully required by, and actually paid in, other states, and the applicable tax rates in these states equal, or exceed 5%. Accordingly, except as otherwise noted, Massachusetts use tax is not due on any item on which a sales or use tax or its equivalent was required to be paid and actually was paid without any right to a refund or credit in: - District of Columbia - New Jersey - North Dakota - Rhode Island - South Carolina B. The following jurisdictions have a credit similar to that provided in G.L. c. 64I, § 7(c) for all corresponding state taxes lawfully required by, and actually paid to, such states; but these states’ applicable sales, use, or motor vehicle excise tax rates do not equal or exceed 5%. Massachusetts use tax will therefore be due to the extent of the difference between the Massachusetts and other jurisdiction’s tax rates in: - Delaware – Delaware has no state sales or use tax. With respect to motor vehicles, Delaware has a limited credit for taxes paid elsewhere. Accordingly Massachusetts will grant a credit only when an owner registers his motor vehicle in the Commonwealth within ninety days after paying Delaware’s 2.75% registration fee on the vehicle. - Georgia –The credit is limited to the 4% sales tax paid to the State of Georgia. - Hawaii – The credit is limited to the 4% sales tax paid to the State of Hawaii. - New Mexico –The state 5% sales tax does not apply to motor vehicles. New Mexico imposes a Motor Vehicle Excise Tax at 3% or 4.5% of the sales price. - North Carolina – With respect to motor vehicles, Massachusetts will grant a credit only when an owner registers his motor vehicle in the Commonwealth within ninety days after paying North Carolina’s 3% Highway Use Tax on that same vehicle. With respect to all other types of personal property, a Massachusetts credit is available only for sales tax paid to the State of North Carolina and is not available for sales tax paid to any local jurisdiction in that state. - South Dakota – Massachusetts will grant a credit for the 4% state sales tax paid on most tangible personal property; the credit is limited to 3% for motor vehicles. - Virginia – Most tangible personal property is taxed at 3.5%, but motor vehicles are assessed at 3%; the credit for any sales tax paid to Virginia cannot reduce the Massachusetts use tax liability below $35 per vehicle. C. The following jurisdictions have a credit similar to that provided in G.L. c. 64I, § 7(c) for all corresponding state and local taxes lawfully required by, and actually paid to, other jurisdictions, but the combined tax rate may not always equal, or exceed the Massachusetts 5% rate. The amount of use tax (if any) owed Massachusetts is determined by comparing the Massachusetts tax rate with the combined state and local tax rates in: - Alabama – Tangible personal property is generally subject to a 4% state sales/use tax; the state taxes most motorized vehicles at 2%. - Alaska – Alaska has no statewide sales tax, but has more than 100 local jurisdictions applying nine different sales tax rates (from no tax to 7%). Massachusetts will give credit for any sales taxes actually paid these jurisdictions. - Illinois – No use tax be will be due Massachusetts on most sales of tangible personal property which are subject to a 6.25% state sales tax. Taxes on casual and isolated sales of used vehicles range from $25 to $1,500. - New York D. The following jurisdictions either (1) have no sales tax; or (2) the provision of state law that is most analogous to G.L. c. 64I, § 7(c) allows no credit for taxes paid to other states on specific types of property such as motor vehicles. 1. States without a sales tax include: - New Hampshire 2. States with significant limitations on their tax credit include: - Arkansas – Arkansas denies any credit for sales taxes paid to other states on motor vehicles, trailers, and semi-trailers that the purchaser first registers in Arkansas. Hence, the Commonwealth will not credit any taxes similarly paid to Arkansas whenever Massachusetts is the first state of registration for that purchaser. With respect to all other tangible personal property, Arkansas grants a corresponding exemption. - Oklahoma – There is no reciprocal credit on motor vehicles; with respect to all other tangible personal property, any Massachusetts credit is limited to the 4.5% state sales tax. - Mississippi – Mississippi allows a corresponding credit for individuals only if the sale and the first use of taxable property both occur in the same state that collected the tax. Credit is also not allowed for any tax paid on most motorized vehicles if the vehicles are first used in Mississippi. Massachusetts will accordingly mirror these exceptions in crediting any sales tax paid to Mississippi. - West Virginia – West Virginia grants a corresponding credit with respect to all tangible personal property except motor vehicles. VI. Payment of Use Tax A. Taxable Personal Property Other Than Motor Vehicles and Trailers 1. Individual, Non-business Taxpayers Individual non-business taxpayers may file an annual use tax return, Form ST-11, and pay in full all of the tax due on out-of-state purchases made during the calendar year. The use tax return and payment are due no later than April 15 of the year following the calendar year the purchases were made. G.L. c. 62C, § 16(i); 830 CMR 62C.16.2(5)(e). Alternatively, beginning with purchases made during calendar year 2002, individual, non-business taxpayers may pay their use tax on out-of-state purchases by completing a line item on Form 1, the Massachusetts Resident Income Tax Return, or Form 1-NR/PY, the Nonresident/Part-Year Resident Individual Income Tax Return. See TIR 03-3. 2. All Other Taxpayers Registered vendors must report their use tax obligations on their sales and use tax returns and pay any use tax due according to the reporting schedule set forth in regulation 830 CMR 62C.16.2 (5). Business purchasers who are not required to be registered vendors must file an annual use tax return, Form ST-10, and pay any tax due in full no later than April 15 of the year following the calendar year of purchase. See 830 CMR 62C.16.2(5)(f). B. Taxable Motor Vehicles and Trailers Unless otherwise exempt, all motor vehicle and trailer sales or use in Massachusetts create either a sales or use tax obligation for the purchaser or user. For non-exempt vehicles that are not required to be registered or titled in Massachusetts, the purchaser must pay the sales tax in full and file a completed Form ST-7R with the Department of Revenue or Registry of Motor Vehicles by the twentieth day of the month following the month of sale. For non-exempt vehicles that are required to be registered or titled in Massachusetts, the owner must pay the sales or use tax in full and file Form RMV-1 with the Registry of Motor Vehicles within ten days after the sale, transfer or use of such vehicle within Massachusetts. See 830 CMR 64H.25.1(4).

In this lesson, you will learn how to multiply radicals and simplify them. You can either multiply everything inside the radical or simplify each radical and then multiply them. Simplifying each radical first may be easier as it helps reduce the larger number you end up with. You can even rewrite a larger number as a product of square numbers to make it simpler. With practice, you will be able to simplify radicals and multiply them with ease. Multiplying radicals and then simplifying I show how to solve math problems online during live instruction in class.

Global personal development organisation A CONSCIOUS MOVEMENT McKell Media was first approached by Access Consciousness (AC) in early 2012, to write a press release for co-founder, Dr Dain Heer. From this initial agreement, our work for AC has expanded into a worldwide, multi-faceted, ongoing campaign encompassing a range of personalities, brands, products and events. When AC first approached us, their media profile outside of the USA was very limited and was centred on the two co-founders, Dain Heer and Gary Douglas. Now, our PR efforts have helped AC become a recognised organisation, with a wide range of popular personalities and brands, in more than 170 countries. Our work regularly involves coordinating media-only events, promoting book launches and tours, profile enhancement for key personalities, social media campaigns, and ongoing general media placements. Over the last 6 years, the media outreach for Access and it’s facilitators keeps growing! On average we have been garnering 30 placements per month from media outlets in the US, Australia, Canada, Ireland and New Zealand. Not only have we nurtured & maintained strong media relationships with key outlets, but we have also stayed on the creative edge, developing innovative & interactive media days, global day initiatives and strong influencer contacts and seeding strategies for products. Dr Dain Heer and Gary Douglas have featured on over 20 TV shows to date, including regular spots on KTLA, Fox news, BT Vancouver and morning shows in Houston, San Fransisco, Australia and New Zealand. Print & Online Dain and Gary contribute regularly to top outlets in the US and Australia such as Inc.com, Maxim, MindBodyGreen, POPSUGAR, Huffington Post, GQ and the Good Men Project. The Baby Unicorn Manifesto We were engaged in a campaign to launch the children's book, The Baby Unicorn Manifesto, into the Australian and US market. To extend reach and awareness of the book, we devised an influencer strategy, engaging with over 150 micro-influencers across Australia and the US. As a result, we collaborated with 76 micro-influencers, securing 90 social media and blog posts and reaching an audience of over 1.5 million.

This October 2019, we have seen another spectacular year of Sagradans from the Preschool department, who just celebrated their Happy United Nations Month. Different countries namely Philippines, Japan, Korea, India, USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, England, Italy, Switzerland and France were seen and explored by their own eyes because of the amazing classroom decorations prepared by the teachers and their pupils. Different activities were also done and presented to experience the beauty of each country that per level (Kinder, Advanced Casa and Junior Casa) has to offer, alongside wonderful costumes, graceful dance numbers and tasteful cuisines they shared with their teachers, classmates and friends. SERIES OF ACTIVITIES: First Friday (October 4, 2019) was all about “WORLD TOUR”. Everybody including the Grade one (1) pupils had the chance to see and enter countries from EUROPE, ASIA, and AMERICA. And yes, what a fun day! We really got a wonderful world! Second Friday (October 11, 2019) was all about the “UN FOOD FESTIVAL”. The Preschool brought their treats excitedly. It was a day filled with different cuisines: Kinder from Asian, Advanced Casa from American and Junior Casa from European. Another thing which made the day extra remarkable is not just the different foods but the pupils were able to keep a “Friendship Plate” so they could share and eat together with their friends. How good to see these kids in perfect peace and unity! Third Friday (October 18, 2019) was all about the “UN FINALE CELEBRATION”. It was held at the Chapters MDSF Social Hall with a theme “We are the World”. It was organized by the teachers, presided by some of the Kinder pupils, attended by the administrators and parents. This was the day everybody was all looking forward to. Preschool Sagradans were enthusiastic from the practices, preparations and decorations up to the final event of costume parade and dance presentations; Hawaiian from Junior Casa, Mexican from Advanced Casa and Korean from Kinder pupils that portrayed the different nations of the world. Of course, the preschool BULPRISA contenders showcased their talents too with their wonderful special numbers. As it went to the near end, together, they splendidly sang WE ARE THE WORLD. Their voices aired up showing Preschool Sagradans as one. How admirable to wholly hear them sound! Congratulations MDSF for a successful celebration of world peace in the midst of cultural and individual diversity among our children, teachers, parents, and community. Indeed, our dear teachers, awesome students, and supportive parents had a blast with our HAPPY UNITED NATIONS MONTH 2019! Kudos to all! “There is power in individuals, and now we’re learning there is power in individuals coming together.” – Kathy Calvin, President and CEO United Nations Foundations Written and photos by Brigitte Rose Ronquillo, Resource Officer #SoarhighSagradans #PreschoolDepartment #UNcelebration2019 #WearehappyatMDSF	<urn:uuid:9a695dc4-793c-4514-a98e-db104b96de7e>	CC-MAIN-2023-40	https://www.mdsf.edu.ph/2019/preschool-sagradans-happy-united-nations-month-2019/	2023-09-29T22:38:04Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00198.warc.gz	en	0.965921	650

• Association between low socioeconomic status and colorectal cancer is independent of other risk factors. • Public health programs and practitioners should target these areas. MIAMI — People living in economically deprived neighborhoods were more likely to be diagnosed with late-stage, non-localized colorectal cancer, even after researchers controlled for known colorectal cancer risk factors, according to data presented at the Third American Association for Cancer Research Conference on The Science of Cancer Health Disparities, being held Sept. 30-Oct. 3, 2010. “Community clinical practitioners should be encouraged to understand the neighborhood characteristics of their patients and use that information to guide their encounters with patients, to help reduce disparities for colorectal cancer, which is a preventable disease,” said study author Chyke Doubeni, M.D., M.P.H., assistant professor of family medicine and community health at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. Researchers evaluated data from the NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study, a prospective cohort of participants from six U.S. states and two metropolitan areas. Data were obtained from 1995 to 2003, and none of the participants had a history of colorectal cancer. Socioeconomic status was based on an empirically derived neighborhood socioeconomic deprivation index from 2000 U.S. census data. Findings revealed 6,934 cases of colorectal cancer among 560,288 eligible participants; 59 percent of these cases were non-localized, defined as regional, distant or unstaged tumors. After adjusting for age and sex, the researchers reported a colorectal cancer incidence of 17.5 per 10,000 person-years. Those participants who resided in the least socioeconomically deprived neighborhoods had an incidence rate of 16.2 percent compared with 19.8 percent for those living in the most disadvantaged neighborhoods. After further accounting for individual-level education, dietary patterns associated with the risk for colorectal cancer, history of smoking and body mass index, findings revealed that those in the most deprived neighborhoods had a 13 percent higher overall incidence of colorectal cancer and 15 percent higher incidence of non-localized colorectal cancer compared with those in the least deprived neighborhoods. Doubeni and colleagues plan to evaluate potential differences between men and women and to evaluate underlying reasons for disparities, including failures along the continuum of care and health care utilization histories. “We need to understand more about the health care utilization patterns of patients in poorer neighborhoods and obstacles to colorectal cancer screening in those neighborhoods,” Doubeni said. # # # Follow the AACR on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/aacr.org The mission of the American Association for Cancer Research is to prevent and cure cancer. Founded in 1907, the AACR is the world’s oldest and largest professional organization dedicated to advancing cancer research.

While the use of technology has evolved with time in order to make the game of cricket as accurate and player-friendly as possible, there are some occasions on which one of the two teams will end up disappointed with the outcome of using that technology. One such incident took place in the second session of the first day of the fourth and final Test match between India and England at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi stadium when England batsman Jonny Bairstow was given out on an LBW appeal by pacer Mohammed Siraj. Batting at 28, Bairstow was visibly shocked to see umpire Nitin Menon nod to Siraj’s appeal for a Leg-Before after his delivery rushed past the Englishman’s bat and nicked his back-foot pad. After a brief discussion with his batting partner Ben Stokes, Bairstow decided to go for a DRS review in which it was established that while the ball did not touch the bat before hitting the pad, the trajectory of the delivery ‘may or may not’ have led to the bails falling off the stumps. Under such circumstances, it is the umpire’s call that remains final and the review is retained by the team. When the on-field official was given the go-ahead by the third umpire to stick to his decision, he once again lifted his finger to declare the wicket and Bairstow had to walk back while shaking his head in disappointment as the Men in Blue could be seen celebrating in the background. The conflict, therefore, led to some obvious differences in opinion between the two sides and the different sets of fans backing up each team. Indian cricket fans complimented on-field umpire Nithin Menon and third umpire Anil Chaudhary for conducting some high quality officiating: Excellent start for Umpire Menon. Top decision.— Boria Majumdar (@BoriaMajumdar) March 4, 2021 The umpire better make sure Bairstow is happy next time he gives him out. We wouldn’t want an unhappy Bairstow now, do we mate? May be the English players can get lollies on their way back to the pavilion. #INDvsENG https://t.co/N8fJaOFI7H— Sushrutha (@3eyeview) March 4, 2021 On the other hand, fans who supported Bairstow were heart-broken with the verdict and called out the officials for horrible decision-making: Player review from Bairstow. Obviously makes sense to check everything - just seems like a small gap in the logic of Umpire's Call in this very specific scenario.— Ben Jones (@benjonescricket) March 4, 2021 It’s really rough on Bairstow because it was umpire’s call but umpire’s “caught out” thinking invalidates LBW in his mind so not really fair to India to not look at it. Now whether umpire’s call should be a thing or whether ball tracking is infallible is another conversation— Anna Forsyth (@aforsyth03) March 4, 2021 Other than Jonny Bairstow's dismissal, umpiring on Day 1 of the fourth Test at the Motera stadium has been well-accepted and acknowledged by fans of either side. Out of the three DRS reviews being taken in the first 38 overs, two belonged to Indian skipper Virat Kohli and one came off England. All three reviews agreed with the final decision of the officials and only one of them got retained on a technicality.	<urn:uuid:f307fc43-8fb0-4c90-ab89-3210b1a9f652>	CC-MAIN-2023-40	https://www.mensxp.com/sports/cricket/86142-jonny-bairstow-lbw-controversy-india-vs-england-test-4.html	2023-09-29T23:45:58Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00198.warc.gz	en	0.968876	762
Revenues from the gas tax are dedicated to the federal Highway Trust Fund for spending on highway and transit projects. But this revenue, along with the revenue from other smaller dedicated taxes, hasn’t been enough to cover the annual amounts authorized by Congress in recent years, forcing policymakers to transfer more than $60 billion from general funds to the Highway Trust Fund since 2008. Many policymakers view the recent plummeting of prices at the pump as an opportunity to push for a long sought-after increase in the federal gasoline tax. Originally created as a temporary deficit-reduction measure in 1932, the federal gas tax has turned into a permanent levy that has enabled the federal government to play an oversized role in infrastructure policy—a role that had traditionally been left to state and local governments and the private sector. It is time to return that responsibility to where it belongs and get rid of the federal gasoline tax. The following table provides a historical summary of federal gasoline tax rates: Until the 1950s, the federal gas tax was used to help pay the federal government’s regular bills. With the inception of the national interstate system in 1956, revenues from the gas tax were dedicated to a new Highway Trust Fund (HTF). The original idea was that the tax would act as a “user fee,” in the sense that those who used the roads financed by the HTF would effectively pay for it. As is often the case with government programs, the HTF was expanded in years following to cover transit and other parochial projects that did not benefit the nation as a whole. With that expansion came additional increases in the gas tax. The gas tax doubled in size after two large increases in the early 1990s were used, in part, to help with deficit reduction. By the end of the decade the doubled rate remained, but gas tax revenues were once again completely rededicated to the HTF. History had essentially repeated itself. Policymakers quick to point out that the current 18.4 cent per gallon rate hasn’t increased since the mid-1990s and, correctly, that price inflation has effectively eroded the “purchasing power” of the gas tax. The tax has also generated less revenue as motor vehicles have become more fuel efficient. Proponents of federal infrastructure spending act as if there are no alternatives to the ongoing budget shortfalls in the HTF than to raise the rate, find additional sources of revenue, or both. Opponents of raising the gas tax have been content to argue that the federal government should simply spend an amount equal to the revenue received. While that would certainly be preferable to a tax increase, abolishing the tax would be better still. It makes little sense for the federal government to take tax money from people in the states, run it through the federal bureaucracy, and then send the money back to the states through politically conceived formulas. But that’s how the current system works. Instead, state policymakers who believe that their state needs more money for infrastructure projects should make the case to their constituents that taxes should be increased to fund such endeavors. With the federal gas tax out of the way, such proposals would perhaps become an easier sell. Better yet, any reluctance on the part of state policymakers to seek major increases in their state’s gas tax would create an incentive to experiment with alternative forms of financing infrastructure, including getting the private sector more involved. The beauty of allowing the states to re-assume responsibility for infrastructure policy is that it would encourage innovation and competition. The states would also be free of the federal mandates that come with receiving funds from the federal government. For example, federal Davis-Bacon rules require workers on federally funding projects to be paid the typically higher “prevailing wage,” which unnecessarily increases the cost of projects by approximately 10 percent. The current political landscape makes the devolution of responsibility for infrastructure to the states a tough sell. Federal policymakers have simply grown accustomed to setting infrastructure policy and aren’t willing to forego the political benefits that come with doling out the money. Although state policymakers often complain about Washington’s heavy-handedness, they also enjoy the political benefits of spending money on projects that didn’t require their voters to bear the full burden. That makes it all the more important for proponents of limited government to push back against the status quo and resume responsibility for infrastructure—and, in the process, restore a more vigorous vision of federalism.	<urn:uuid:1456d7e4-1004-4734-b38d-a1579aafde52>	CC-MAIN-2023-40	https://www.mercatus.org/research/data-visualizations/federal-gasoline-tax-should-be-abolished-not-increased	2023-09-30T00:42:36Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00198.warc.gz	en	0.969536	910
Beau’s one year session was such a fun time! When Beau’s mom emailed me to schedule his session she let me know that this wouldn’t be a typical first birthday session. His parents had decided that they did not want to do a cake smash, which is what a lot of my clients choose for their baby’s first birthday. This family opted to not have a cake, which I really enjoyed. This gave us more time to play around with more props and poses during his session! One of my favorite things during a one year session is to watch how the little ones will arrange themselves on a stool or chair that I use in the photos. Beau climbed up like such a big boy and sat on the very edge so his little legs could dangle off! It was SO cute. By the end of the session Beau had warmed up to me and was crawling and climbing all over the place. He also loved to shake the party shakers! He gave me all the best giggles and grins which helped me capture the perfect photos! I can’t wait to see this little guy and his family again soon! I hope you enjoy a quick scroll through Beau’s one year session! Thanks for stopping by and having a look through some of my favorite sessions!

I am still loving this newborn baby boy session that I photographed a few weeks back. I was beyond excited when the Lesmes family emailed me to schedule a session for their soon to be baby boy! These people are the sweetest bunch and their new baby fits right in. It was so beautiful to witness all the love and patience this little family had for their newest addition! We started this newborn baby boy session off with family photos! During this time I got pictures of the entire family which includes individual photos of the parents with their baby, some together, and last but not least, some sibling photos. These all turned out so amazing! It was really sweet to see how this guys big brother and sister cared for him. They were so gentle! To finish off the session we did some of just the little guy! We posed him in a few of my very favorite props and blankets. Once we finished we those we followed up with a few extra shots on my newborn pillow! Every session flows differently depending on the need of the family’s and children. I go off the lead of the newborn and navigate from there! It is my biggest priority to keep you all comfy and happy during your time at my studio and am happy to customize any session to fit your needs!

Auto repair shops are always looking for ways to increase their revenues. There are several things that they can do to achieve this goal, and in this article, we will discuss some of them. Offer a wider range of services. Auto repair shops that want to increase their revenues should offer a wider range of services. This will allow them to appeal to a larger audience, and it will also help them to become more well-rounded businesses. Offering a wider range of services can also help shops to attract new customers, and it can make it easier for them to retain their existing ones. Some of the services that auto repair shops can offer include oil changes, tune-ups, brake repairs, and transmission repairs. The shop should also have a supply of complete engine rebuild kits available in case a client comes in with an engine requiring the service. By offering a wider range of services, shops will be able to meet the needs of more customers and generate more revenue. Promote their services to generate more customers Auto shops need to promote their services to generate more customers. This can be done in several ways, such as through advertising, word-of-mouth, and online reviews. Having a strong online presence is important, as most people now turn to the internet for information about businesses. Make sure your website is easy to navigate and has plenty of information about your services. You can also create a blog or social media page to share news about your business. Another way to promote your services is through word-of-mouth. Encourage your customers to tell their friends and family about their experience at your shop. Positive reviews can help attract new customers, so make sure to ask your customers to leave reviews on popular sites like Google and Yelp. Develop a marketing strategy Developing a marketing strategy is the first step in increasing revenues for an auto shop. It increases public awareness of your company and its services, as well as expands the customer base to include those with the needs that you offer. The more customers and awareness about your business, the higher sales are likely to be over time. There are many marketing strategies available to auto shops, so it’s important to consider what will work best for your company. Traditional marketing methods like print advertisements and TV commercials can be expensive, so you may want to focus on more cost-effective options like online advertising or direct mail. If your shop is located in a high-traffic area, you could also increase revenues by installing signage that promotes your business. No matter what marketing strategy you choose, it’s important to track your results so that you can see what’s working and make necessary adjustments. By regularly monitoring your marketing efforts, you can ensure that your auto shop is maximizing its revenue potential. Price your services competitively One of the most important things that an auto shop can do to increase its revenue is to price its services competitively. This means that the shop needs to make sure that it is priced lower than other shops in the area while still making a profit. If the shop charges too much, customers will be more likely to take their business elsewhere. However, if the shop charges too little, it may not be able to cover its costs and make a profit. There are a few ways to determine what the right price is for each service. One way is to survey other shops in the area and see what they are charging for similar services. Another way is to consider the cost of the materials and labor needed to provide the service and then add a fair markup. Once the shop has determined its prices, it needs to make sure that these prices are prominently displayed so that customers will know what to expect. Invest in new technology and equipment. Auto repair shops that want to remain competitive and increase their revenues need to invest in new technology and equipment. This includes diagnostic tools, lifts, and other equipment necessary to keep up with the latest trends in automotive repair. The right equipment can help auto shops improve their efficiency and accuracy, which can lead to increased business and better customer satisfaction. It’s also important to keep up with the latest training and certifications to ensure that your shop is providing the best possible service. Whatever technology and equipment you decide to invest in, make sure it will help you improve your business. With the right tools and knowledge, your auto repair shop can be more successful than ever. There are many ways to increase revenue for your auto shop. The best way is to focus on the marketing and pricing aspect of your business first, then invest in new technology or equipment that will help you improve efficiency and service quality. Whatever approach you take, it’s important to keep track of what works so that you can continue making necessary adjustments as needed. With a little effort, your auto shop can be more successful than ever.	<urn:uuid:1f89b902-1910-4915-841c-cfc97c941a8e>	CC-MAIN-2023-40	https://www.metroherald.com/increasing-revenues-for-auto-shops/	2023-09-29T23:34:05Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00198.warc.gz	en	0.969645	982
“Hysterically funny.” “Visually stunning.” “Wildly inventive.” Those are some of the salutatory words used to describe the Blue Man Group‘s show, Tubes/Rewired/NowMoreWow, currently in residence at Boston’s historic Charles Playhouse, 74 Warrenton Street. Since the Blue Man Group began performing at the Charles Playhouse, back in 1995, its three members have felt extremely comfortable there in the heart of Boston’s theater district. The venue, which first opened its doors in 1958 in a building that dates from 1839, easily lent itself to the group’s “multi-sensory” show, which combines elements of theater, percussion, and visual arts, in an unlikely mix with both science and vaudeville. Audiences have responded enthusiastically, making the Blue Man Group‘s show something of a landmark in the world of entertainment. Chris Wink, Phil Stanton and Matt Goldman began performing together on the streets of Manhattan back in the 1980s. Their trademark blue make-up helped make them memorable. But it was their talent and inventiveness that took them from early appearances at New York’s La Mama and Astor Place Theatre, through an Obie award and various TV appearances, to their current digs. The Charles Playhouse is no stranger to their kind of transformation and high-energy performances. In years gone by, the building has served as a church, a synagogue, a speakeasy, and a ballroom, finally emerging in its current form as a pioneering regional theatrical venue. Its new sign (pictured), which features both productions currently in residence there – the Blue Man Group and Shear Madness (one of the longest-running non-musical plays ever produced) – had to be as special as both the venue and the productions it houses. Metro Sign and Awning designers and fabricators are proud to have successfully come up with a traditional “blade sign” look and feel that aptly reflects the experiences on offer inside. And it’s elegantly accented by a nifty canopy that features color changing LEDs to delight the eyes of both passersby and ticket-holders. Exciting!	<urn:uuid:931406e6-2a06-48b3-84a9-12414444cc53>	CC-MAIN-2023-40	https://www.metrosignandawning.com/new-blade-sign-at-charles-playhouse/	2023-09-30T00:42:43Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00198.warc.gz	en	0.958326	466
BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES FOR USE OF DUCKS AS APPLE SNAIL CONTROL IN LO`I KALO. On January 25, 2005 a meeting was held with taro farmers, duck breeders, snail specialists, avian biologists, Division of Forestry and Wildlife and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service representatives in order to share information; to try and answer questions regarding native/domestic duck issues and policies in Hawai`i; and, to create opportunity for support in development of a duck management protocol that would benefit both taro farmers and the endemic koloa (Anas wyvilliana). Both DOFAW and USFWS representatives showed unprecedented willingness to help taro farmers struggling with the apple snail problem. One result of that meeting was an agreement that taro farmers would work with the agencies to develop a "best management practices" document for use of domestic ducks as apple snail control in the state. That draft will be sent to state/federal agencies for review and comment by the end of October. The final document will become part of a statewide strategic plan for apple snail control currently being developed with extensive input from taro farmers across the state (expected completion December 2005). The present draft protocol has been developed through discussion and review with current users of ducks in taro farming communities on Kaua`i, Maui and Hawai`i. Koloa (Anas wyvilliana) is Hawaii's only endemic (native) duck and is federally listed as endangered. Several factors contribute to this endangered status including the loss of wetland habitat and historic food resources, the presence of Mallards and other wild ducks which migrate from the mainland and interbreed with koloa; the release or escape of domestic ducks into the wild which then establish feral populations that cross-breed with koloa; and overall small numbers of pure koloa (an estimated 2,200 remain). The largest koloa population is found on Kaua`i (about 2,000 birds), primarily in what is now the Hanalei Refuge, which was and still is one of the largest wetland taro growing regions in Hawaii's history. A small re-introduced population of koloa is also located on the island of Hawai`i. Feral mallard and koloa x mallard populations have now been recorded where only pure koloa were thought to have existed in Kaua`i. Past re-introduction efforts on O`ahu and Maui failed to eradicate existing feral mallard and hybrid populations as a precursor to recovery efforts; those populations are severely hybrizided (Engilis, Uyehara, and Giffin. 2002). Moloka`i duck populations are also feral and/or hybrid. Kalo (taro) is the most culturally significant agricultural crop in Hawai`i. Historically, thousands of acres were cultivated; today, less than 500 acres of kalo lands are actively maintained. It is a primary and secondary income source and forms a significant portion of food budgets for taro-farming families (Levin et al, at press). Kalo is recognized as elder brother to the Hawaiian people and plays an important role in cultural identity, spiritual wellbeing, and the lifestyle of those who choose to plant it. The apple snail Pomacea canaliculata, a highly aggressive invasive species, has become a serious threat to the survival of taro production. This particular species is present on all main islands except Moloka`i, Ni`ihau, and Kaho`olawe. It thrives best in perennial wetland areas which coincide with the largest taro producing areas in the islands. Crop loss from apple snails has been estimated at 18-25% (HAS 2004; Levin et al. in publication). Snails are also a vector for disease transmission to humans, including rat lung worm. The most frequently used control method is removal of snails and eggs by hand, an intensive and expensive process. Domestic ducks are currently the most effective and efficient method for apple snail control in lo`i kalo (wetland taro systems). The US Fish and Wildlife Service and the Hawai`i Department of Land and Natural Resources Division of Forestry and Wildlife recognize that mallard and hybrid duck populations remain the single largest obstacle to restoring and protecting pure koloa in the wild on all islands in the state. Without implementation of a comprehensive mallard and hybrid eradication program by state and federal agencies, protection efforts for the koloa are moot. The lack of consistent management of natural wetlands for much of the last century has left little suitable habitat for Hawaii's endangered waterbirds, except lo`i kalo. There are few enough viable taro lands remaining in the state, and growing kalo is back-breaking work with few financial rewards, even without the added constraints of an endangered species to deal with. While taro farmers support efforts to help the koloa, they also strongly recommend that in conjunction with feral duck control, state and federal agencies focus on restoring currently degraded wetlands outside of traditional taro-growing lands as the primary habitat for koloa and other native waterbirds, particularly in Hanalei, Ke`anae and Waipi`o. Lo`i kalo should be considered only as a temporary shelter and not earmarked as a permanent locale for these species. This will provide more suitable habitat and reduce potential conflicts between the survival of an ancient Hawaiian practice, farmers' livelihoods, and the protection of an endangered species. Because the domestic ducks used to control apple snails are such a scarce and valuable resource, taro farmers carefully manage their ducks while in the lo`i and pen them nightly, most particularly to protect them from dogs, mongoose and theft. This limits opportunity for koloa - domestic duck interactions on farm and negates the opportunity for pair-bonding. Both taro farmers and agencies acknowledge that the current source of feral mallards in the islands is not taro farmers' ducks, however, koloa, as with other native freshwater birds in Hawai`i, sometimes choose lo`i kalo as feeding, loafing, breeding or nesting habitat. The potential for cross-breeding between koloa and the domestic ducks used by taro farmers for control of the apple snail, although small due to the way farmers manage their ducks, does exist. The purpose of this document is to provide taro farmers with the best protocols available for using ducks as a method of apple snail control in Hawai`i (based on local farmers experience) while protecting to the best degree possible, endemic populations of koloa from further hybridization due to new controlled domestic duck populations in taro farming areas. Best duck selection and best management practices in each section are listed first (1) and/or bolded, followed by acceptable alternatives. The criteria for "best" included feasibility and accessibility for farmers, simplicity, and level of risk to koloa. In developing these practices, it is recognized that current duckling resources for taro farmers are extremely limited, as are farmer's financial resources. Where the best duck variety choices may not be possible, best management practices maintain a high level of prevention. Engilis, A., Jr., Uyehara, K.J. & Giffin, J.G. 2002.

Apple Snail Invasions and the Slow Road to Control: Ecological, Economic, Agricultural and Cultural Perspectives in Hawaii in press for a volume on apple snails to be published in the Philippines [title not yet confirmed]. I. Duck Characteristics The following are the best characteristics for ducks working in lo`i kalo. The size, behavior, and disposition of the ducks will influence the quality of their work in controlling apple snails and limit the potential for hybridization with the endemic koloa. 1. Naturally flightless. Some duck breeds are naturally flightless, including the Roen, a cousin of the Mallard, but may not be suitable due to their higher potential for cross-breeding with koloa or skittish nature. Pekin are large-bodied, heavy birds, that do not fly and are preferred by taro farmers on the island of Hawai`i. 2. Pinioned ducks. A pinioned duck is one that is restrained from flight, either by clipping a wing (must be done after each molt) or removing the wing tip (permanent). See attachment for details on how to pinion. This option requires regular monitoring. 1. Females. Females are less aggressive, and more focused, steady snail eaters than males. Only a limited number of males are needed if fertile eggs are desired, however, during koloa breeding season both male and female domestic ducks should be well-managed. a. Recent koloa genetics research from a limited sample size suggests that more hybrids may come from a cross between a female mallard and a male koloa (Engilis and Uyehara, 2005) than previously understood; while slightly earlier documentation suggests the reverse (Engilis, Uyehara, and Giffin. 2002). b. Pairing in koloa can occur year-round; however, late fall and early winter are the primary seasons. 2. Sterile ducks. An option that resolves the reproductive and flight issues of using domestic ducks near koloa populations is sterile ducks. Mule ducks are available from at least one source in California (Metzer Farms) but would need to be brought in under a special HDOA permit. It is possible to set up a breeding program to develop mule birds in Hawai`i. This may be the most viable option for sites such as Hanalei. a. A mule or Mullard is a cross between a Pekin female and a Muscovy male; a hinnie is the result of a Pekin male and Muscovy female. A mule is typically large, swims well but does not fly. Hinnie males fly. Approximately 60% of mules are male. Both mules and hinnies are sterile. A female hinnie can lay eggs but they do not hatch. It is however, difficult to breed Pekin and Muscovy and the resulting eggs have only a 20-30% fertility rate. These birds are raised on the mainland primarily for pate (liver). They have characteristically large, clawed feet like a Muscovy (potential to damage banks) and are untested for their behavior in taro lo`i (pers. com. John Metzer 2005). 3. A veterinarian can sex and sterilize ducklings, however, to our knowledge there is currently no one in the state of Hawai`i with this experience. Costs are unknown. 1. Start with ducklings. Young ducks will readily become familiar with a farmer, a routine, and the snails as a food source, as a form of imprinting/training. Adult birds will have difficulty bonding with a farm and new routine. 2. Well-mannered. Choose breeds that are mellow in nature, easy to herd, quick to get into the routine of snail feeding, and can be left to themselves once in the taro patch. Duck breeds that are easily spooked will require more attention and time to watch. Herd dogs may be an option which will also provide some protection from hunting dogs, however, that involves an additional commitment of time, training and feed/care costs. D. Able Feeders 1. Age. Juvenile ducks will eat more snails than mature ducks. If your ducks survive dogs, mongoose and disease, they will live an average of 5-6 years and will need to be replaced. Introduce new ducklings into your existing flock rather than starting a new juvenile group; the adult birds will influence the behavior of the young ones. 2. Breed. Not all domestic ducks feed alike. Small beaked birds will be limited to consuming smaller-sized snails. Based on current farmer experience, Pekin and Black Cayuga appear to be the most capable snail feeders. 3. Timing. Ducks will feed, rest, play, and return to feeding in cycles during the day. You will observe this activity if you leave your ducks in the lo`i all day long. They may occasionally lose interest in feeding on snails and damage the taro plants, particularly when snail numbers are low. A better alternative is to release ducks to feed on snails a few hours at a time, once or twice per day, and return to the home pen to keep them focused on the snails (see III. B. below). This also reduces opportunities to wander. a. The times you don't want ducks in your lo`i are when taro plants are older and apple snail populations are low, and/or when pocket rot is prevelent. The ducks will dig into the taro plants in search of food and undermine them. Too many ducks in one patch will result in the same type of behavior. 1. Most recommended. Pekin appears to be the best breed due to its larger size (koloa are small birds), visibility (they are all white), lack of desire or ability to fly, large appetite for snails and easy nature. Black Cayuga's are good snailers but are more closely related to Mallards. 2. Not recommended. Mallards and other closely related species, such as Rouen, Cayuga, Khaki Campbell, and Indian Runners (all of which look similar to mallards), have the highest potential for hybridization with koloa. 3. Muscovy are not Mallards but are harder to control and, along with Indian Runners, are known to tear up the banks of the lo`i and dig around the base of the kalo more than other breeds. They also fly. 4. Working with what you have. Pekin ducklings and adult birds are scarce in the present market on all islands. If all you have are lesser preferred breeds, use the practices described in this document to keep your ducks safe and out of koloa areas. II. Penning and caging Penning and caging will serve several purposes, including to protect your ducks from dogs and mongoose, to prevent cross-breeding with koloa, to control breeding within your own stock, and to keep capture and herding simple. A. 'Home-base' Pens or Cages 1. Weeks one through four. Ducklings require frequent attention during the first three to four weeks and should be kept in a sheltered, warm, small cage or box away from dogs, mongoose, rain, wind, and dirty water to improve survival rates. Duckling feed during this time is typically "chick starter". 2. Juveniles and Adult Pens. There are many options. The simplest, least costly designs are described below. a. Brood shelter with protective fence. A cage of wire and plywood (approx 4x6ft) about three feet off the ground on 2x4in legs with a plywood roof and strong wire flooring makes a good brooding and shelter house. This keeps them dry and out of the rain. Holds up to 10 ducks if they are let out often. A dog proof fence of heavy wire around this structure is strongly recommended. Both can be light weight enough to move around. Ducks will walk down a ramp into a cage or trailer to be moved. A true mongoose-proof fence is extremely expensive; setting out traps may be more cost effective and reduces overall numbers of this pest for your ducks and koloa. b. Over an `auwai or lo`i edge. A wire and plywood cage built on the ground, half over the `auwai and half on solid ground works well for farmers who are not able to be on-farm daily. The ducks will always have clean water and some food from the `auwai. Solid lower walls will protect the ducks from dogs and also keep them calm when penned. Very strong wire needs to be used to dog-proof the cage. Place cobbles along the `auwai edge to protect the banks from eroding. Maximum 6 ducks. c. For more than 6 ducks. A four to six foot high chain link pen about 15ft in diameter with water piped into a small pond in the center and piped out to a lo`i (natural fertilizer) is a more natural environment for ducks that are not worked daily. A cage fits inside for ducks that need shelter or to grow out ducklings. Mongoose-proof the lower edge if you plan to collect eggs. From 15 to 20 ducks. B. In the lo`i 1. Lo`i perimeter. Flexible plastic fencing may help keep your ducks in the proper lo`i as they begin to learn the system of feeding and returning to their pen. Once the pattern is established such fencing is not usually necessary. 2. Farm perimeter. Stray dogs are the number one source of duck loss for taro farmers. They can indiscriminately kill a whole flock in very short time. You may need to hogwire the perimeter of your farm to keep stray dogs out. These options are expensive and an additional aggravation for farmers. Fencing lo`i or farm perimeters does not fit the spirit or traditional practice of farming kalo where each lo`i cluster is connected to the next farm by water, berms and pathways. However, if dogs remain an unresolved problem in your area, you may want to implement this practice on your farm, or jointly with your neighbors. 1. Disease. Domestic ducks are susceptible to botulism in the same way that wild waterbird populations are in Hawai`i. Contaminated water sources are a vector for this disease and can cause the loss of an entire flock within a few days. Providing a clean, dry shelter and clean drinking and bathing water sources will reduce the likelihood of a botulism outbreak. Keep your ducks from drinking or playing in stagnant, polluted water sources (ie. effluent ponds or water where any dead animal/fish has been observed). Clean their bowls regularly. Moldy or old feed, particularly fishmeal or peanut-based feeds, may be the source of toxins that cause high mortality in a flock, especially ducklings. a. Isolation. Any duck that shows signs of illness should be isolated from the flock; do not transport to or allow to mix with other duck or waterbird populations. Keep a sick duck away from ducklings or juveniles especially. b. Transport. It is unknown at this time whether domestic ducks in Hawai`i are carriers of avian malaria. Any project that will move ducks from one island to the next should submit a request to be inspected and tested by the DLNR-Division of Forestry and Wildlife for avian malaria. Every effort should be made by state and federal agencies to support development of a renewable duckling source on each island to eliminate this potential disease transport vector. 2. Crowding. Too many ducks penned up for too long is stressful and the weak ones will suffer. 3. Evening time. Taro farmers from several sites have observed koloa are most active in at dusk and in the evenings. Keep your ducks penned up at night. This will limit potential interactions and equally important protect your ducks from roaming dogs. III. Working the ducks A. Duck numbers 1. In an infested lo`i, 12 ducks working daily for 3-4 weeks will bring snails under control. Three to six ducks can maintain a patch once the snail population drops to a lower level. It is important to have some ducklings or juveniles on hand to replace any adults that may be lost to age, dogs, theft or disease. B. Work patterns 1. The best case scenario is to remain in the area working. Let the ducks out. They will fill up on snails quickly if they are hungry. Then they clean themselves, rest, eat other bugs and grass and will go after the snails again. Train them to go back to their cage at your own signal (ie. whistling, clapping, calling, shaking a grain can). 2. If you can not be at your lo`i for long, let the ducks out for one-half to one hour where there are plenty of snails. Pen them after they have eaten and come back later in the day to let them out again for another cycle. 3. Work from the beginning of your water source towards the most makai portion of your lo`i. Pick large snails and eggs as ducks clean up medium and small snails. For more control over which lo`i the ducks will feed in first, use a 2ft high moveable fence to isolate the patches you want cleaned and contain the ducks. 4. Prior to planting, a series of dry-downs and flooding will effectively bring snails to the surface. Remove the largest ones by hand and let the ducks go after the smaller ones. They will fertilize the patch in the process. Engilis, A., Jr., and Uyehara. 2005. Identification of Hybrid Hawaiian Duck (Koloa) x Mallards: An Aid to the Recovery of Koloa. Presentation at 2005 Wetland Management in the Hawaiian Islands Workshop: Connecting Research and Management. October 6-7, 2005. Kailua, Hawai`i. How to Clip a Wing: 1. Best done with 2 people - one to hold the bird and the other to clip. 2. Use sharp scissors. 3. Eliminate some of the stress by covering the fowls head with a towel. 4. Clip about 5 of the primary flights off one wing. Do not clip blood feathers among the wing plumage. (New feathers growing in are called bloodfeathers. Before clipping, look for white- shafted young feathers among the plumage. Never cut bloodfeathers as it is a direct line to blood vessels and the bird can bleed to death. Wait to clip them until they are fully grown out.) The best time to clip is right after a molt when all feathers are fully grown out. Clipping does not hurt when done properly. Clipping will need to be done after each molt as cut feathers are replaced with full feathers again. How to remove a wing tip: A pinioning guide from the Book Wild Waterfowl And Its Captive Management Volume I, published by the Game Bird Gazette magazine provides a diagram for removal of the wing tip. The book recommends pinioning be done by a qualified veterinarian or under the direction of a veterinarian, however, many farmers do the work themselves. The best time to pinion a bird is the day after a hatch. There will be little blood at this stage and it can be done quickly with sharp scissors. 1. Use a good sharp pair of boning scissors or a pair of my electrical side cutters. 2. Take the bird by left hand and hold them with their heads tucked under, using your arm and hand to keep them still. 3. Pull the wing out and in one quick cut just in front of the small thumb feathers, leaving that batch of feathers to act a protection on the new cut. 4. Cut the wing bone and all primary feathers off. 5. Treat the cut and release the bird to a clean area with clean water to heal. Bleeding should stop within a minute or two.	<urn:uuid:d1e58c1d-3e3f-4f4b-9f0f-215cd53c6da6>	CC-MAIN-2023-40	https://www.metzerfarms.com/hawaii-duck-protocol.html	2023-09-30T00:16:12Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00198.warc.gz	en	0.93927	5,077

Certain new theologians dispute original sin, which is the only part of Christian theology which can really be proved. We complain when God steps in to eliminate evil. We complain when he allows evil. We try to judge the judge, but we cannot have it both ways. The prophet Habakkuk questioned God about the turmoil he was experiencing in his culture. In the opening verses of the book that bears his name, Habakkuk lists the problems he saw around him. Iniquity, injustice, destruction and violence are listed in his complaint. Do these complaints sound familiar? A brief survey of the news will […] Joseph learned that even though his brothers were evil toward him, God remained in control and even the evil coudl be used by God for good.	<urn:uuid:c285fee1-979a-44a1-a84c-e0966ea051bf>	CC-MAIN-2023-40	https://www.mhmcintyre.us/tag/evil/	2023-09-29T23:34:07Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00198.warc.gz	en	0.978949	157

Sabah CM hopes Malaysia-India trade ties will also benefit the state 05 Dec 2022 Sabah is hoping that the Malaysia-India bilateral trade relationship will provide a positive impact to the state economy. State Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor said the existing ties between both countries have been forged for a long time, with India being one of the main trade partners of Malaysia. The trade relationship comprised many sectors in Malaysia, including the Information and Communications Technology, biotechnology, manufacturing and financing services. “As the chief minister, I also welcome investors and foreign visitors from other countries, including India, to help spur the economy and tourism sectors in the state. “The Sabah government will ease the business activities as part of the measures to encourage more investors in the state. “This is in line with the Sabah government’s commitment in practising an investment-friendly policy,” he said during the Sabah Indian Association’s 75th anniversary at the Sabah International Convention Centre here last night. Hajiji’s speech was read by his Assistant Minister Datuk Seri Abidin Madingkir. Present were Indian High Commissioner to Malaysia B.N. Reddy, Sabah Indian Association president Datuk Dr P. Muthusamy and organising chairman Datuk Dr G. Mohan. Earlier, he said the Indian community in Sabah had come to the state as army, police, and government servants during colonial rule and later became doctors, teachers, engineers and businessmen after the formation of Malaysia in 1963. “It is undeniable that the Indian community has contributed towards early development in Sabah especially in engineering, health and education. “The Sabah government will always appreciate the sacrifices and contributions by the community to the state for the past few decades. “For 2023, the state government has allocated more than RM54 million for mission and Chinese schools, as well as other non-Muslim religious institutions in the state.”	<urn:uuid:0dfd8b46-c09c-4922-8f79-aaad419b21ec>	CC-MAIN-2023-40	https://www.mida.gov.my/mida-news/sabah-cm-hopes-malaysia-india-trade-ties-will-also-benefit-the-state/	2023-09-30T00:08:47Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00198.warc.gz	en	0.958314	422

Dior Vernis (C$33 each) 2016 nail lacquer have launched just few days ago. There are two shades in this fall collection Minimal and Skyline, which both I find are pretty nice colors for this fall season. Even though summer is still in full swing but I am already into the fall colors and shades. From last week I have incorporated some of the fall shade makeup collections into my routine. The Dior Vernis nail lacquer shades are limited edition and are formulated with gel shine finish and a long-lasting wear. - Minimal – is a peachy natural shade with a medium coverage. I find with two coats you end up with seeing some strikes and patches, you need a good 3 coats to get the real color. The formula is amazing it lasted on my nails for pretty good time while I get my hand on chores with two little ones. - Skyline – is a dark chocolate-brown shade which I was most excited about I was very pleased with the outcome. Dark brown nail polish is a must for me for fall and winter season and this brown was totally a must for this fall. Two coats were good enough to cover the whole nail. Overall I was very pleased with the Dior Vernis in both shades, for me Skyline is a must for this fall while still I am debating on Minimal. I loved how lasting power was amazing and they didn’t chip off my nails for a good amount of time. If you’re thinking about these, I’d suggest to get them before they’re gone. and I find with limited editions they go by really fast. You can find these at Dior’s counter at Sephora and all department stores and online at Dior.com.	<urn:uuid:bbad81c6-1e44-4a10-b362-71bf295d99d4>	CC-MAIN-2023-40	https://www.millionidole.com/dior-autumn-lacquer/	2023-09-29T23:20:31Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00198.warc.gz	en	0.972089	363
Who are the Two Witnesses during the Great Tribulation? Moses and Elijah is the Wrong Combination “And I will grant authority to My two witnesses, and they will prophesy for twelve hundred and sixty days (forty-two months; three and one-half years), dressed in sackcloth.”” (REVELATION 11:3 AMP) After my pastor friend asked me about my opinion on this topic, I dug into God’s word to study about the identity of the two witnesses who will rise up during the Great Tribulation, and here are my findings. Many people believe them to be Moses and Elijah, and I’ve ever read articles online saying the same thing, leading me to believe that before. This is probably due to the fact that these two witnesses will be moving in the same judgment anointing as Moses and Elijah when we look at the nature of the miracles they performed: “And if anyone wants to harm them, fire comes out of their mouth and devours their enemies; so if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this way. These [two witnesses] have the power [from God] to shut up the sky, so that no rain will fall during the days of their prophesying [regarding judgment and salvation]; and they have power over the waters (seas, rivers) to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every [kind of] plague, as often as they wish. (REVELATION 11:5-6 AMP) The fire and shutting up of the sky to have no rain reminds us of Elijah’s ministry. The water turning into blood and striking the earth with plagues reminds us of Moses’ ministry. However now after studying deeper into this topic, I don’t think that Moses can be one of the two witnesses anymore. Love this Blog?

In July Milton’s own Superstarr Liam along with many other Superstarr’s and Superhero’s hosted a fundraising event for Sick Kids Foundation at the Milton Community Park. The weather was fantastic and the event was attended by hundreds of friends, supporters and community members. Free volunteer lunches were generously donated by Milton’s East Side Mario’s restaurant (Thanks to Zain Raza and Jordan Bassett) Elaine Carter Cray from The Special Friends Network had this to say – “What an incredible day and event! Kudos to the amazing Deana Wilson for pulling this together. For all the incredible supporters, organizers and collaborators I am so honored to be part of this fantastic group of People. Milton is the best community by far.” Miltonian Paulette Lockwood wanted to let people know that “I’d be lying if I didn’t say a highlight for me was meeting Doug Gilmour himself!”. The Toronto Maple Leafs alumni SuperHero was on hand to give his support to the fundraiser and made himself available to fans for photos and discussions.	<urn:uuid:54dfa55d-5c7e-45e0-b813-682a89b22fcb>	CC-MAIN-2023-40	https://www.miltonvillager.com/superstarrs-2-superheroes/	2023-09-29T23:07:39Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00198.warc.gz	en	0.961209	234
Freshvo.id, Immune Boosting Startup in the Nutrition Ecosystem Freshvo.id is one of the startups that drives “a way for a healthier and better life” and pays attention to the nutritional ecosystem. Freshvo.id can also be accessed on the SOE MSME PaDi platform, Freshvo.id, and Instagram. The company already has a number of products, including Imun packages, Fresh packages, Healthy packages, fruits, vegetables, proteins, spices. These products aim to support basic needs, help distribute the harvested avocado butter, duku, and mango. Freshvo.id has reached Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, Bekasi, Bandung, and Jogja. This startup also continues to expand its reach to assist community needs during PPKM. Indonesia is currently ranked fifth in the world in terms of the largest number of startups. This achievement cannot be separated from the development of startups in Indonesia that are competing to provide solutions to problems faced by society, including in the food sector. The threat to the immune system during the pandemic is a new problem that must be faced as well as a gap for startup activists to find the right solution. This solution is what startup Freshvo.id is trying to offer in its service. In the midst of the proliferation of food services in Indonesia, Freshvo.id is present as a driver of the nutritional ecosystem by providing a variety of nutritious foods. Highlight the Nutrition and Nutritional Value of food Different from other startups in the food sector, nutrition and nutritional value are the things that this food supplier startup focuses on. Regina Michel Putri, the CEO said that the presence of Freshvo.id in the midst of the proliferation of food startups today is not to be a competitor but to help fulfill nutrition and to develop an ecosystem that during the pandemic period was somewhat stagnant or underdeveloped. “Not only taking advantage of the moment to sell, but we also have to be able to share what we do to help the community,” said Regina. It only took Regina a short time to realize this Freshvo.id service. Freshvo.id ideas and ideas began to be compiled on July 3, 2021 and one week after that Freshvo.id was officially launched on July 9, 2021. Regina acknowledged that the establishment of this startup could not be separated from the role of Ahmad Sugiarto, the Former Strategic Portfolio Director of Telkom Indonesia, who continued to support him in initiating this idea. “Freshvo.id has a big opportunity because they see an opportunity to move the ecosystem. This startup entrance is also right by prioritizing delivery and prioritizing affordability,” said the man who is familiarly called Anto. Although it has only been established for less than a month, Freshvo.id has reached seven regions including Jakarta, Bogor, Tangerang, Bekasi, Depok, Bandung and Jogjakarta. Open Job Opportunities for Regional Farmers and Victims of Layoffs By prioritizing the nutrients in the types of food they provide, Freshvo.id is the answer when people are getting interested in foods that provide nutrition and increase their immunity. Especially during the ongoing pandemic, people are now starting to pay attention to their diet so that their immunity is maintained and they are protected from virus transmission. Not only taking advantage of the momentum for business, Freshvo.id also invites the public to fight the growth of the COVID-19 Virus in Indonesia. Through its platform, the startup, which has only been established for about a month, also provides opportunities for farmers and victims of layoffs due to the pandemic to earn income. “In the Nutrition Ecosystem During Pandemic, Freshvo.id does not just stand still but also expands to help other ecosystems,” said Regina Michel Putri, the CEO. In the program, Freshvo.id divided into three stages where they are currently in stage 1 (Q3 2021). In this stage, it moves to help the community, farmers, layoff victims and provide nutritional improvements for SOEs and their employees. Freshvo.id provides an opportunity for farmers in the regions to provide fresh vegetables and fruits to consumers directly. Freshvo.id also provides opportunities for layoff victims, most of whom are heads of families, to have new jobs.	<urn:uuid:605c4a98-9479-4b24-8c5b-16569b70377d>	CC-MAIN-2023-40	https://www.mime.asia/freshvo-id-immune-boosting-startup-in-the-nutrition-ecosystem/	2023-09-30T00:12:39Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00198.warc.gz	en	0.954526	918
This Stovetop Potpourri Will Fill Your Home With Fall's Best Scents Who doesn't love the smells of fall? It's warming while somehow crisp, with a hint of spice—and that's exactly what you'll get with this stovetop potpourri recipe from spice expert Kanchan Koya, Ph.D. If you want your home to smell like you're inside a chai latte (yum), here's how to make it. Fall-Inspired Stovetop Potpourri - Combine your ingredients in a medium saucepan and fill with water. - Simmer on low and enjoy the scents of fall. - Top off your saucepan with more water as needed. - Adjust the recipe as you like, depending on your scent preferences. You can add things like orange peels, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and more! - Keep the potpourri on your lowest setting to prevent it from boiling and leave the lid off to allow the smell to fill up your home. What are the benefits? Aside from simply making your home smell amazing, this potpourri may have some therapeutic benefits as well, according to Koya. "Science shows cinnamon can help mood just by smelling it," she tells mbg. Indeed, one study in the North American Journal of Psychology on the effects of peppermint and cinnamon found that the smell of cinnamon not only enhances motivation, performance, and alertness but also might decrease fatigue and serve as a central nervous system stimulant. And with the addition of roses to this potpourri, there's also a relaxing effect at play. According to another small study done in 20091, participants who smelled rose essential oil showed a significant decrease in breathing rate and blood pressure compared to the placebo group, with participants also rating themselves as calmer and more relaxed afterward. The bottom line. Whether you're hosting and want your home to smell extra appealing, or you just want to enjoy the scents of fall for yourself, whip up this potpourri. In no time, your home is sure to smell like a chai-inspired dream. Sarah Regan is a Spirituality & Relationships Editor, a registered yoga instructor, and an avid astrologer and tarot reader.

Mind Mapping: Run a Meeting Like a Pro Rachel Maguire 13/07/18 So many meetings can occur with no clear direction, aim or plan meaning that productive outcomes aren’t produced and meeting attendees leave feeling frustrated, as the meeting has been a waste of time. Effective meetings have a clear aim of what should be achieved in a set amount of time. Here are some steps to take to make sure you run your next meeting like a pro with Mind Mapping. Get the right people involved You want to make sure that you have the right people involved in the meeting. There’s little or no benefit from having a group of people coming at a problem from the same angle. Ideally you would have people with different knowledge, expertise and perspectives so that the situation or problem is explored thoroughly and a well informed decision can be made. Share a meeting agenda Prior to the meeting outline what the focus of the meeting is and what will be covered. Let everyone know what they are coming into so that they are prepared and ready to share ideas. This can be done easily by outlining the meeting agenda in a MindGenius map and then emailing it to the meeting attendees. Create an inclusive environment You also need to make sure you are creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels they can freely share ideas without the risk of offence or judgement. You could go round each person at the meeting and ask them to share ideas, which may work well when there are quieter individuals who are less likely to speak up. Alternatively, if the focus is on brainstorming, create a relaxed atmosphere where everyone can fire out ideas. As the meeting draws to an end don’t let it finish without a definite answer or plan, so that you know what the next step forward is and that the meeting has actually been productive. Conduct a meeting review When the meeting is finished it is useful to have a review. Ask attendees what they thought and if they have some valuable feedback and suggestions. Was it what they expected the meeting to be like? Were they happy with the outcome? This gives the meeting facilitator an indication of what to improve on and if anything should be done differently for the next meeting.

Albion Online's latest patch, Knightfall, has arrived. This update improves on the content introduced in the MMORPG's Beyond the Veil update, bringing new features and improvements to the Mistsand the Roads of Avalon. In regard to the former, coffers and caches have been introduced. Coffers are special treasures that will reveal themselves to nearby players while caches are rewards for clearing mob camps. A new dungeon has also been introduced to the Mists – Knightfall Abbey. This dungeon features ruins made up of crumbling stone and stained-glass windows. The Roads of Avalon, on the other hand, now has new enemies, paths, and a greater mob density. Some mobs will even drop Avalonian Energy. This is needed to link the roads to the new cape lines. The update also introduces new items and crafting components, new capes with defensive capabilities, and new owl mounts. Some interesting quality-of-life improvements have made their way into the game as well. Among these are the optional WASD movement system, and the ability to change a character’s gender using Gold. The full rundown is available on the Albion Online site. About the Author QuintLyn is a long-time lover of all things video game related will happily talk about them to anyone that will listen.

When it comes to charity, Extra Life is a staple in the gamer community. Every year developers, content creators, and the rest of the gaming community come together under the banner of Extra Life to raise money for the Children’s Miracle Network. One company that participates year after year is ArenaNet, developer of the MMORPG Guild Wars 2. Recently, Extra Life recognized the developer for their efforts, naming them the 2022 Extra Life Partner of the Year. This announcement was part of Children’s Hospitals Week. During this event, the organization awards Partner of the Year to “outstanding Strategic partners that have demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals through innovative fundraising and awareness initiatives”. Of course, ArenaNet has raised quite a bit of money for the Children’s Miracle Network – including a total of $253,359 last year. This combined with their previous efforts amounted to a lifetime total of $855,526, but that’s not all they’ve done. Last year, ArenaNet added Children’s Miracle Network Champion Child, April Arellano to Guild Wars 2 as an NPC. The NPC was voiced by Jennifer Hale and had a special questline that tied into the developer’s fundraising efforts. The company set stretch goals for last year’s fundraising that when hit would provide players with hints that would help them progress through April’s storyline. If you’re wondering what a “Champion Child” is, it’s someone the Children’s Miracle Network hospitals select to serve as the face for children treated at their local hospital. The children then serve as ambassadors throughout the year, helping to bring awareness to the needs of children’s hospitals. More information can be found here. On an additional note, a new update dropped in Guild Wars 2 yesterday. It includes updates to the Megaserver Map Queue Beta. Patch notes can be found on the Guild Wars 2 Forums.

Front & Center: Shop Series Part 4 Choosing the face of your cabinets. When it comes to the interior design of your home, first impressions count—and choosing the right fronts for your custom cabinets is one way to ensure that the impression your space makes is always a good one. But first, what exactly do we mean by a “front”? As the name suggests, a front is basically everything you see on the front-facing portion of your cabinet, from doors and drawers to hinges and knobs. Think of a front as the “face” of your cabinet. Selecting a face for your project is one of the easier decisions you get to make because, in our experience, your choice comes down to two attractive options: Full Overlay or a Face Frame with Flush Insets. Which one is right for you? Let’s review their features. The sleek modernity of Full Overlay. When you encounter cabinets with a Full Overlay style, you immediately notice the doors and drawer fronts positioned close together, with minimal gaps between them, creating a seamless and contemporary appearance. That’s because Full Overlay is all about the door, with no part of the frame visible from the front. This modern and sleek design maximizes the front surface of the cabinets, bringing a visually appealing and streamlined look to your kitchen or any other space where custom cabinets reign. With doors and drawers that completely cover the cabinet frame, Full Overlay cabinets comprise a crucial component in any space seeking to establish a clean and modern tone. Closing all the doors and drawers creates a flush surface that gives everything a smooth and polished appearance. Hiding hardware like hinges and drawer slides maintains this modern, uncluttered feel. Beyond its style, Full Overlay cabinets offer practical benefits. Completely covering the front of a cabinet with doors and drawers maximizes the storage space behind it. Additionally, Full Overlay cabinets are easy to clean, as their flush surface eliminates hidden nooks where dirt and grime can accumulate. More frame means more options with Face Frame with Flush Insets. As the name suggests, Face Frame with Flush Inset style cabinets showcase the frame of the cabinet with all its doors and drawers set inside that visible frame. While providing the same flush and seamless appearance as Full Overlay cabinets, the Face Frame with Flush Inset cabinet style exudes a clean and classic look ideally suited for traditional or transitional kitchen designs. Its timeless appeal complements various interior styles, while the flush surface achieved when doors and drawers are closed creates a polished and cohesive appearance that elevates the sophistication of the space. Features of this style include the visible face frame, as each cabinet proudly displays the frame around its front edges. Additionally, visible hinges and hardware provide a decorative touch and an opportunity to choose various hardware options that complement the space's overall design. While Face Frame with Flush Inset cabinets offer a classic charm, it's worth noting that they provide slightly less storage space, as doors and drawers are set inside the face frame. They also require a little more effort when cleaning due to the edges and corners this design creates. A third difference between Overlay and Face Frame with Flush Inset is the cost, with the latter being more expensive due to the additional labor involved in its construction. The cost difference is not huge in most cases but when it comes to choosing the fronts that are right for your tastes, lifestyle, and budget, it’s important to consider every detail. No wrong answers. Choosing between Full Overlay and Face Frame with Flush Inset fronts offers another opportunity to personalize your kitchen or living space while expressing your unique taste and style. Ultimately, the decision rests with you, and that's the beauty of custom cabinets. Trust your instincts, evaluate your needs and priorities, and we’ll help you create something extraordinary. Now that you've taken the first step in determining the perfect style for your cabinets, it's time to move on to the next exciting chapter.

What is Color Theory? Color theory is a relatively simple concept in website graphic design it is basically the practice of mixing colors and using color palettes to achieve the desired results. These ideas are not new, they appear even in the writings of another Leonardo da Vinci, and have been practiced ever since. Color theory also seeks to explain why colors have a visible effect, such as the cool effect of natural colors (black, white, gray, tan and pastel) and the strong sense of the main colors (red, blue, and yellow). Warming vs. cool Warm colors are those that do not turn blue in any style. This means that there are no blues, blues or violets in the warm color spectrum. They always have a reddish hue, which means red, oranges and oranges are often considered when it comes to warm colors. Cool colors are colors that always include blue, and do not include red. When choosing a design for your website, you can choose to work within a warm or cool color, and get a different feel for each one. Both spectrum can feel cool, but in different ways. Cool colors can be likened to the serenity of a cold winter day, while warm colors may sound like fun evening. Cool colors, when used too much can feel dark, so that’s something to keep in mind. When it comes to energy levels, the most important factor is often color saturation. When the filling is high, the color becomes more intense. For example, tan, gray, and pastels all give a sleepy, cool feeling while bright colors, the main one help add energy to the mood. Look at the three-color palettes below. The First color palette has great potential, albeit a small one. This is a casual color palette, which can be easily used to market a children's website or a fun and free website. Colors in full complement have the drawback that they sometimes cause a feeling of anxiety in adults, as well as sometimes having a high brightness that can make it difficult to read. You will want to keep this in mind when designing websites that contain a lot of content or text. The second color palette is what you might call the midway between sleep and energy. The colors inside the palette are still bright, but they blend well. This palette can be easily used to sell any number of websites from a personal blog to a professional restaurant menu page. The third palette has a very relaxing and professional feel. The colors are not very different, which makes it ideal for a website that wants to create a cool feeling, like a spa website. Useful Online Tools Now that you have the essential tools in your hand, is it not time to add a few useful tools to your web design craft? Yes it is! The first important program I bring to you is Kuler. This is the concept of design mastermind Adobe. The content of this excellent (and free) program is a variety of tools aimed at getting a headache out of construction. For example, you can create your own palettes in their advanced color picker, you can create your own color palettes for pictures, and if all else fails, you can browse custom-made color palettes for some inspiration. The second amazing program is favorite for many affordable graphic design company, and it goes by the name of the Color Scheme Designer. This great tool helps you design your own color palettes based on popular color schemes, and gives you the option to preview them in a sample website design. Talk about making it easy for you.	<urn:uuid:94bdce06-4334-410b-9ad7-ef7b28eb2438>	CC-MAIN-2023-40	https://www.monkeysingh.com/blogs/importance-of-color-theory-in-website-design	2023-09-29T22:51:38Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00198.warc.gz	en	0.938741	741

Necessity may be the mother of invention, but creative thinking doesn’t hurt. Over the past year, necessity forced us to rethink many aspects of our lives, leading to entrepreneurial innovation to serve the needs of a mostly homebound society. It propelled trends already emerging–take-out and grocery delivery, streaming media and video conferencing to name a few–as well as provided new offerings like virtual theater, gallery tours and speaker series, which hopefully will continue as it allows a greater audience to participate. Now that the world is opening up, creativity continues to drive interesting uses of technology that we may not have previously envisioned. Some may have been initially conceived as media stunts, as they have definitely drawn attention, but to a large extent may also have business potential. The use of TikTok as a recruiting/hiring tool is an excellent example of taking advantage of what has essentially been an entertainment and marketing platform to do something quite different. The necessity part was targeting a young cohort of job seekers to fill openings in retail and hospitality, necessary to reopen or expand business. The creative was TikTok partnering with retailers and hospitality companies to use their platform to not only recruit young talent but screen potential candidates. Blockchain technology and bitcoins have long been in the news, but recently NFTs, unique, non-replaceable digital assets, are the buzz. They are attracting the attention of deep-pocketed collectors who are snapping up everything from Beeple digital artwork for $69 million to a LeBron James clip for $99,999. Now there are a number of people who are also trying to figure out how to make NFTs accessible to non-millionaires, with Oneof, a company dedicated to minting and releasing NFTs building on a more affordable blockchain platform. And then there is memecoin, a crypto currency inspired by internet jokes. How fitting. Artificial intelligence is informing everything from the potential for self-driving cars to automating repetitive business tasks. But it has also entered the world of what was once considered creative pursuits, particularly writing. Who would have thought that there would be a competition among AI songwriters! Social media has long been used by journalists to amplify their reporting, but using it for personal opinion has been problematic. Enter Sidechannel, a community on Discord for platform users to comment on news anonymously. They describe it as akin to hacking into a newsroom Slack. What’s really interesting about this random sampling is how quickly we continue to adapt technology for new uses, whether it is to reach a specific audience, create community or launch new business models. Often the second or third iteration becomes the big success story. It’s why in a brainstorm a bad first idea can lead to a brilliant final solution. All it takes is a little imagination and a willingness to think outside of the box.	<urn:uuid:6d1ddb86-d8a6-44b3-a6ee-e1a930765478>	CC-MAIN-2023-40	https://www.mprm.com/thinking-outside-the-box/	2023-09-29T23:14:32Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00198.warc.gz	en	0.965249	582

How Do We Transmute Negative into Positive? (Oct. '91) “The Lords of Negativity are here. They set up trials. They set up tribulation. How do we get from that? They can beat us with their negativity, but they can’t beat us in our choices. They have no choice. They must do negative. We have a choice. We can take the negativity, and laugh and change it to positive. Every test they give us, instead of it being a stumbling block, we change it to a stepping stone. No matter what happens. We sit and figure out what’s good, and how to use that to advance, for our learning, for our growth.” – John Roger, from the enclosed program.

In 1890, in the former capital of the Confederacy, an enormous bronze statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee was unveiled in Richmond, Virginia. It took 131 years, but yesterday, the sculpture finally came down. Donald Trump, who has long expressed a curious affinity for those who took up arms against the United States, was outraged. A written statement from the former president: Robert E. Lee is considered by many Generals to be the greatest strategist of them all. President Lincoln wanted him to command the North, in which case the war would have been over in one day. Robert E. Lee instead chose the other side because of his great love of Virginia, and except for Gettysburg, would have won the war. The Republican's statement went on to accuse "the Radical Left" of destroying "our culture" — though the former president wasn't explicit as to who counts as part of "our" society. Trump concluded, "If only we had Robert E. Lee to command our troops in Afghanistan, that disaster would have ended in a complete and total victory many years ago. What an embarrassment we are suffering because we don’t have the genius of a Robert E. Lee!" I'm mindful of the fact that not every nonsensical statement from the former president deserves scrutiny, but this one was especially egregious. Lee abandoned the United States, took up arms against the American military, and helped lead a war that killed hundreds of thousands of Americans. Lee did so, not in pursuit of honorable goals, but because he, a slave owner, believed in fighting for the South's commitment to the institution of slavery. What's more, evidence of Lee's strategic "genius" is hard to find. He did, after all, lose after making dubious decisions. And while Trump may believe that Lee could've prevailed as a military leader in Afghanistan, Lee's only relevant experience is failing badly in a protracted land war. And yet, there was the former Republican president, not only celebrating the slave-owning commander of a fighting force that killed Americans, but also looking for ways to excuse Lee's defeat. Even for Trump, this is tough to defend.	<urn:uuid:11d6a816-f3ef-47fe-99f7-3fa32114549e>	CC-MAIN-2023-40	https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/why-trump-s-praise-robert-e-lee-so-very-odd-n1278797	2023-09-29T23:14:30Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00198.warc.gz	en	0.981306	444
David Choe paintings at Facebooks first headquarter may be woth north of $200M in a few days without being sold. How this works? The Artist took stock for paintings at the company’s headquarters instead of cash. His payout may be $200 million by Facebook IPO. Some other investors, especially the early ones, may even make billions of dollars. Taking stocks may be one of the smartest move in terms of early art valuation in history. Other than regular artists of his guild do, the Choe had a bright foresight or may he just was the lucky winner of a smart bet. When Google went to market with its $1.67 billion I.P.O. in 2004, hundreds of people joined the millionaire ranks, including secretaries, a company masseuse and a company chef. This time you can also count in a modern-day renegade artist who uses to put up party pics of himself spending enormous amounts of money on alcohol on his facebook page. Just recently he promoted photos of a $40.000 bottle of alcohol; a single shot is $888, much more than I sent on drinks for a whole party crowd usualy	<urn:uuid:b4f0729e-661f-49e6-9a99-bc2323618059>	CC-MAIN-2023-40	https://www.muckibu.de/most-expensive-grafitti-of-all-time-through-facebook-ipo/	2023-09-30T00:37:47Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00198.warc.gz	en	0.973173	238

Lawmakers will return to Raleigh for the short session April 25, 2016. The MVA Public Affairs Legislative Report on North Carolina will be distributed on a bi-weekly basis during the interim to keep you up to date on the latest legislative issues facing the state. Follow MVA Public Affairs on Twitter @MVA_PA Follow Moore & Van Allen on Twitter @MVA_LAW No committees met this week as lawmakers returned to their districts after a lengthy regular session. With adjournment comes campaign news as election season ramps up heading into 2016. As expected, North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper officially announced his plans to run for governor on the Democratic ticket. In addition to Cooper’s announcement, State Treasurer Janet Cowell announced she will not seek re-election and State Superintendent June Atkinson has decided she will pursue another term in office. At the General Assembly, veteran legislator Leo Daughtry (R-Johnston) will retire at the end of the biennium after nearly three decades of service, joining a number of sitting members who have decided to pursue other opportunities. Rep. Paul Stam (R-Wake), Rep. Paul Tine (U-Dare), Rep. Rayne Brown (R-Davidson) and Rep. Jacqueline Schaffer (R- Mecklenburg) have all announced they will not seek re-election. As the interim gets into full swing, lawmakers will begin holding study committees to take a look at key issues in preparation for the 2016 short session. These committees typically meet three to four times before making policy recommendations to the General Assembly. The General Assembly will convene on April 25, 2016 for the second half of the biennium.

If your child’s health care provider has recommended that you consider the medical ketogenic diet to help manage your child’s seizures, you likely have many questions. Your health care team can recommend various books and websites that provide helpful information for parents learning about the medical ketogenic diet for epilepsy. While these resources are valuable, sometimes the best information comes from other parents who have been in your shoes and can share their family’s experiences. Thankfully, the Internet makes it possible for parents to share their stories with other parents anywhere in the world. For today’s KetoConnect blog post, I’ve collected some of my favorite YouTube videos of parents sharing their family’s medical ketogenic diet stories. I hope that these families’ experiences will be helpful for you in learning more about life on the ketogenic diet for epilepsy. Do you know of a helpful parent video to add to this list?

EALING Half Marathon has unveiled Volvic as its official bottled water sponsor for the 2013 race, which takes place on Sunday, September 29th. The natural mineral water brand is owned by Ealing-based Danone Waters UK & Ireland Ltd, which is donating 35,000 bottles to support this year’s race. Five Anglican churches alongside the running route will man water stations, where their congregations will hand out bottles to runners who may be in need of a little divine inspiration as they tackle the 13.1 miles. Event co-ordinator Sandra Courtney said: "We’re delighted to secure the backing of a prestigious water brand like Volvic and it’s fantastic to build on the support we had from churches and their congregations last year. It’s great to have the whole community behind the race." Alex Valk, external communications manager for Danone Waters UK & Ireland Ltd said: "We are so excited to once again support this fantastic event. Last year we supplied 25,000 evian bottles to refresh the runners. We decided as last year the runners got the Live young, this year they might fancy a spot of Volcanicity as they battle around the course. It is great to see that this brilliant community initiative has proven to be so popular and we are all counting down to the big day." Nearly all of the churches involved will reschedule their services and, with a number of their flock taking part they will be enter an informal “churches challenge” to keep the #EalingFeeling going. Water stations will be set up at St Peter’s, at the two-mile point; St Barnabas at four miles; St Stephen’s, after six miles; St Mary’s, Hanwell, at mile nine; and St John’s, Mattock Lane, when runners have a mile to go. The final station will be support by members of St Mary’s, Ealing alongside volunteers from Danone Waters UK & Ireland Ltd. Among those who backed the race last year was Father David Neno, from St Peter’s, which will repeat its runners’ service and pasta party on the eve of the race. He said: “We had about 85 people at the pasta party last year, which wasn’t bad going for the first time we’d tried it. This year, the organisers asked us about a water station and we thought ‘why not?’ It’s a great community event and we’re really looking forward to it.” Details of the service and pasta party will be announced in the run-up to the event. A newcomer to the race fold this year is Rev Matthew Grayshon whose church – St Mary’s in Hanwell – has become involved after improvements to the route. "We’re very keen to ask the congregation to join in,” he said. “It won’t be difficult to get volunteers. We usually have about 140 people at our 9.30am service and I’m sure it will be something people will enjoy.” The Ealing Half Marathon, supported by the Gazette, starts and finishes in Lammas Park with the race, retail and charity village at its heart. The single-lap course takes in parts of Central Ealing, Montpelier, Pitshanger, West Ealing, Hanwell and St Stephens. Having an increased capacity of 6,000 runners’ organisers say they are well on course to beat last year’s sell-out 4,650 entry. Sandra Courtney said: "Places to the race are going fast and we would like to encourage anyone wanting to be on the start line this September to register as soon as possible." Race entry costs £32 for affiliated runners and £34 for unaffiliated runners, with all finishers receiving a distinctive medal and an online e-goody bag after the race. A Corporate Challenge takes place as part of the main race whilst the Ealing Mini Mile, a one mile run around Lammas Park aimed at young runners aged 6 – 11, starts at 9.30 am.

Hyde Park (Naturalized Area) Hyde Park is a District Park and is a naturalized area which the City of Saskatoon describes as an award winning wetland design. This area is managed and enhanced through input by Ducks Unlimited and the Saskatoon Wildlife Federation. The City of Saskatoon's Naturalized Parks branch of the Parks Department took over management of the area late in 2014 and is responsible for maintaining the park. It will take years for the area to re-establish and there are plans to add interpretive signs around the park to highlight the wildlife in the area. Coyote sittings occur throughout the year so please be aware and respect all of the wildlife that live in our naturalized park. Not familiar with naturalized areas?

ISLAMABAD - Government has planned a scheme of incentives to encourage farmers to grow more cotton to increase the exports and save precious foreign exchange for national kitty. In this regard, the authorities concerned have been working on war footings to encourage the farmers to cultivate cotton and revive its production in the country as the national economy cannot be improved without a revolution in cotton and its allied industry. An official at the Ministry of National Food, Security and Research while highlighting a brief detail of some incentives said minimum support price will be announced to encourage farming community and to bring maximum land under cotton production. Special efforts are also being made to achieve higher cotton production and prevent diseases and pests, he told APP. “All the stakeholders in the field of cotton and research have to come together on one page and only with joint efforts of stakeholders, the cotton sector can be revolutionised,” he replied when asked about the current scenario of crop production in the country. The government also plans to provide 100 per cent certified, pest resistant and climate tolerant high yielding seed varieties to farmers during the coming season. In this regard, the Federal Seed Certification and Registration Department has completed testing of 30,000 tonnes cotton seeds of different varieties. Meanwhile, another senior official at Central Cotton Research Institute said local output of major crop was on decline, hoping the incentives and other measures would help revive and restore cotton crop in the country. Central Cotton Research Institute, as part of its initiatives, has trained about 300 cotton growers on use of best crop management practices for achieving higher per-acre output. It merits mention here that cotton crop sowing in the country during last season (2020-21) had witnessed a 1.3 per cent decrease as compared to last year. It may be recalled here that cotton, major cash crop and industrial raw material for the textile sector, was on downwards trajectory due to various issues but thanks to the present regime which has realised and was making all efforts not only to facilitate the farmers but also achieve better yields.	<urn:uuid:dea28e41-fbed-473f-bba2-bafd7acf86ee>	CC-MAIN-2023-40	https://www.nation.com.pk/07-Jun-2021/govt-plans-incentives-for-farmers-to-grow-more-cotton	2023-09-29T23:20:18Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00198.warc.gz	en	0.956774	408

Happy New Years!!! The worst kept secret of 2019 has been leaked. National Security Band has completed the recording of their second studio album which will be named Biomimicry. The album is set to be released in early 2020. What is this album about? Biomimicry is a concept album which addresses the changing of our consciousness and evolution of humanity in the early 21st century. Artificial intelligence, war, famine, altered states of consciousness, time travel, parallel universes are concepts the band was exploring during the time of writing this album. Where was Biomimicry recorded? National Security Band returned once again to Charlotte, NC to work with their friend Rob Tavaglione at Catalyst Recording Studios. Rob is an expert at what he does and highly recommend by NSB. What can you tell me about the release? The album will released in the Spring of 2020 and will be available all over the internet for your streaming and downloading enjoyment. Look for National Security Band on iTunes, Spotify, Pandora, our website, among other platforms. Biomimicry is a full length concept album which consists of 7 songs. NSB feels this album is more of an in your face rock album than the previously released Total Information Awareness. What are the titles of the songs? Hang tight. Easy. Sometimes things need to marinate before they taste just right. We will be releasing our track listing soon... What is the band up to right now? We are BUSY! With the mastering now complete for our new album, we are working on plans to get it in your hands as quickly as possible. This is not easy work but we are soldering through. With our first album, we were excited to get our name out there and didn't do the necessary research or steps needed to get the exposure Total Information Awareness deserved. Biomimicry is something special so we are doing everything we can do to share our work with our growing fan base. NSB is also working on video production for Down. Plans are to complete this shooting and begin video editing in the next couple weeks. I don't' want to wait until Spring. Can I get my hands on a copy sooner? We are working on a pre-release option for our best and most loyal fans. Stay Tuned! There will be more information coming soon.	<urn:uuid:3f0b6585-7b8d-4b04-a7b6-f2d0f0bd76be>	CC-MAIN-2023-40	https://www.nationalsecurityband.com/post/new-album-biomimicry	2023-09-29T22:32:48Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00198.warc.gz	en	0.960389	486
Scotland is truly a leader in renewable energy. In the first half of 2019 the country’s wind turbines powered an astonishing 9,831,320 megawatt hours. To put that number into perspective, that is enough electricity to power 4.47 million homes for six months, or almost double the number of homes in Scotland. “These figures show harnessing Scotland’s plentiful onshore wind potential can provide clean, green electricity for millions of homes across not only Scotland, but England as well,” said Robin Parker, climate and energy policy manager at WWF Scotland. Scotland has big plans for its renewable energy. The country plans on producing half of the country’s energy from renewables by 2030 and transitioning to an “almost completely” decarbonized energy system by 2050. So much energy is being produced by wind farms in Scotland that theoretically the country could have enough excess to power a large portion of northern England. “These are amazing figures, Scotland’s wind energy revolution is clearly continuing to power ahead,” said Parker. “Up and down the country, we are all benefiting from cleaner energy and so is the climate.” If Scotland can sell this output elsewhere it will reduce other countries dependence on fossil fuels as well. Many countries, such as the United States, do not have the ideal environment for such massive output. Scotlands environment is ideal for wind energy due to natural traits such as its strong wind patterns and ample coastline. The US currently generates about 7 percent of its electricity from wind. Meanwhile, the UK just recently went over two weeks without using coal at all. Britain plans to phase out the UK’s last coal-fired plants by 2025.	<urn:uuid:c3a69fb9-2814-4d6c-b592-71f5bab8eb9f>	CC-MAIN-2023-40	https://www.nationofchange.org/2019/07/20/scotland-generates-enough-wind-energy-to-power-itself-twice/	2023-09-29T22:51:39Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00198.warc.gz	en	0.948577	355

ABC retail permittees must purchase all beer and wine products from a licensed North Carolina wholesaler that is authorized to distribute the product. Retail permittees may not purchase beer and wine products from other retailers such as grocery stores, membership clubs, etc. Regulatory inspections and audits in which quantities purchased from wholesalers are less than quantities sold at retail often result in enforcement actions. ABC mixed beverage permittees must purchase all spirituous liquor from the appropriate local ABC Board, and not at retail from the front end of an ABC store. Spirituous liquor purchased through the proper channel will have a mixed beverage tax stamp on each bottle. All bottles of liquor on an ABC-permitted premises must have a mixed beverage tax stamp on it. Any bottle of liquor without a tax stamp is evidence of tax evasion, and if discovered by ABC will result in a fine, suspension, or revocation. Even bottles of liquor brought onto the premises as gifts or promotions and kept away from “public” areas of the premises will be penalized and confiscated. In 2021, a new law authorized the delivery of product from the local ABC Board to a mixed beverage permittee.	<urn:uuid:d36b3c06-2aba-4734-af6c-9d50ae1a4bd8>	CC-MAIN-2023-40	https://www.ncrla.org/hospitality_law/abc-laws-and-regulations/purchase-requirements/	2023-09-29T23:20:47Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00198.warc.gz	en	0.952163	231
Families and carers provide help and support that could otherwise be provided by formal services or paid support workers. They are often one of the greatest advocates for people with disabilities, providing practical and emotional support to help them live their best life. Moreover, if the person they care for wants it, carers play a vital role in supporting them to join the NDIS, set their goals and use their NDIS plan effectively. In addition to the government-funded programs available to support carers, an NDIS participant might use funding in their plan to facilitate respite. Respite supports participants and their carers by giving carers short breaks from their caring responsibilities. It also gives participants time away from their families. For a participant, this might mean: - joining a new community group - having a short stay out of home to try new things, make new friends or develop new skills. - temporary periods of extra personal supports so that the participant can remain at home when families and/or carers are not available - support to participate in community activities, resulting in a break for carers. For carers, taking some time off can help them better manage their own health and improve their wellbeing. In deciding whether to fund or provide a support, we will take into account what is reasonable to expect from families, carers, informal networks and the community. More information for carers and how to include respite in an NDIS plan is available on the Carers Australia website . We also encourage you to talk with your Local Area Coordinator or Planner on what supports might be available in your local community.	<urn:uuid:ddc57598-774e-492f-b6a3-aca339160ea8>	CC-MAIN-2023-40	https://www.ndis.gov.au/understanding/families-and-carers/how-we-can-help-carers	2023-09-29T22:56:54Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00198.warc.gz	en	0.956698	336
In the Journal of Democracy‘s April 2021 issue, expert contributors consider what shifting world values mean for the future of democracy, how enduring China’s dictatorship will be, and the mixed legacies of the 2020 U.S. election. - The persistent party-state: Minxin Pei asks whether Xi Jinping’s “neo-Stalinist political revolution” disproves the link between modernization and democracy. - Time to rethink democratic decline? Christian Welzel argues that shifting values around the world actually bode well for liberal democracy’s long-term fortunes. - Voting amid the covid-19 crisis: Nathaniel Persily and Charles Stewart III assess fact and fiction around the successful administration of the 2020 U.S. election. - The problem with platforms: Francis Fukuyama outlines a plan for diluting internet giants’ outsized power over public discourse. Also in the April issue: - How has democracy weathered the pandemic? Sarah Repucci and Amy Slipowitz report on Freedom House’s global survey for 2020. - Michael Albertus and Guy Grossman show how voter attitudes in the Americas may offer politicians a chance at getting away with antidemocratic acts. - Zoltan Barany explains how a ballot-box loss by Burma’s generals set the stage for their February coup. - Nilay Saiya demonstrates why rights-respecting policies are crucial to the struggle against terrorism. - Rita Abrahamsen and Gerald Bareebe describe how a militarized regime, popular demands for change, and the abuse of covid-19 restrictions collided in Uganda’s January elections. - Dan Paget analyzes why Tanzania’s last election may mark the end of competitive politics there, while Nic Cheeseman, Hilary Matfess, and Alitalali Amani argue that the ruling party’s authoritarian methods represent continuity rather than change. - James Loxton explores the complex impacts of authoritarian legacies in fledgling democracies. - Larry Diamond reviews Ronald J.

More trouble for the Vonage IPO: It's being undercut on prices by so many competitors that it's hard to believe many people think the company has a long-term future, much less be willing to buy the stock. There's so much bad news for Vonage, it's hard to know where to begin. So start of with Skpye, which just announced that it is offering free SkypeOut calls to the U.S. and Canada for the rest of the year. More likely, the calls will be free for the rest of forever. Then there's AIM Phoneline, which gives AIM users a free phone number for receiving free unlimited incoming calls and free voicemail, and will charge from $10 to $15 a month for unlimited outgoing calls. Skype and AIM Phoneline are merely PC services, you say, while Vonage lets you use a real telephone? OK, then consider this: Verizon just said that it is lowering the cost of its VoiceWing VoIP service from to $24.95 a month, essentially the same price as Vonage's $24.99 plan. Vonage charges an activation fee, though, while VoiceWing doesn't. And yes, there's even more. Cablevision just announced a new VoIP plan that offers 500 minutes of calls anywhere in the world for $19.95. All this is only the beginning. The cost of voice calls will ultimately drop to essentially zero, thanks to VoIP. Cable and telco companies will give away voice services for free, as loss leaders to get you to sign up for expensive video and broadband services. Skype will offer even more international calls for free.	<urn:uuid:be6142a2-bb5b-4e14-bd44-da7006593a70>	CC-MAIN-2023-40	https://www.networkcomputing.com/data-centers/more-trouble-vonage-ipo	2023-09-29T22:46:07Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00198.warc.gz	en	0.959362	344
No part of a communications service agreement is harder to negotiate than the SLA. One reason for this is that customers and carriers have divergent expectations and perceptions that create tension between the two parties. On the one hand, customers demand reliable service. No IT executive wants a key data center, call center, or Web portal going offline for minutes--let alone hours--because of a service outage. For customers, SLAs ensure that quality service is received, and that tough remedies are meted out when service fails. Carriers, on the other hand, are reluctant to negotiate SLAs, for practical and historical reasons. Carriers know that outages are inevitable: Backhoes cut fiber, router cards burn out, and software goes buggy. As negotiations begin, the carrier touts "great service" and "best-of-breed" capabilities. But when pushed to translate rhetoric into SLA metrics and remedies, it quickly shifts to expectation management mode, where "the network is the network" and networks go down. A legacy of limited liability and common carriage regulations, which demand that carriers serve all comers on equal terms, also influences a carrier's willingness to customize SLAs. Clinging to this tradition, carriers often insist on a "one-size-fits-all" approach, citing obsolete requirements to justify inflexibility, though most of them are now free to negotiate customer-specific arrangements. Then there's the grim state of carrier economics. Custom SLAs mean nonstandard processes for tracking and reporting performance, which creates additional expense. They also mean more rigorous performance standards and stiffer consequences for service failures than standard SLAs.	<urn:uuid:1b0bbf1b-66e0-4d96-b635-02f72bfd21b4>	CC-MAIN-2023-40	https://www.networkcomputing.com/networking/negotiating-more-perfect-sla	2023-09-30T00:28:48Z	s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00198.warc.gz	en	0.924756	335
Network Computing is part of the Informa Tech Division of Informa PLC Skype and Google: The Unified Communications Killers? A funny thing happened on the road to our videophone future. Bell Labs' vision of a picturephone replacing the old rotary dialing unit went into hibernation for a few decades and emerged as a PC with a webcam running Skype. In the meantime, vendors such as Polycom and Tandberg filled the vacuum, making a business out of selling very expensive hardware to enterprises wanting the highest quality and most reliable technology available. It came at a steep price. A decade ago, outfitting a meeting room with a video conferencing appliance ran well into four, if not five, figures; not to mention the dedicated circuits (typically ISDN in those days) needed for interconnect. Fast forward to 2013: The average enterprise has hundreds of megabits (if not a gigabit or more) of Internet bandwidth, and wireless LANs, mobile LTE networks and home broadband links are more than up to the task of streaming HD-quality video. Meanwhile, hardware costs have plunged by a couple orders of magnitude, to the point that most laptops and smartphones now embed HD-quality cameras. It's classic disruptive technology at work, leaving companies like Tandberg, since acquired by Cisco, in its wake and Cisco's own Umi telepresence appliance as roadkill in the path of ever-improving consumer-oriented products. Following the disruptive technology playbook to a tee, consumer-grade hardware and services have finally become good enough for serious business use. Skype is regularly used by network news outlets to interview sources on short notice from their living rooms, eliminating the inconvenience of driving into a local TV studio or the expense of dispatching a satellite studio truck. Sure, the quality is typically lousy (largely due to the source's poor-quality camera), but good enough for a 2-minute news-byte. Plus, there are increasingly common incidents of reporting brilliance, like this example using nothing but Skype and an amateur's head-mounted videocam, that demonstrate the power of consumer technology to replace long established technologies with something better--if not in quality, then in cost, convenience and flexibility. Routine business communications are the next domino to fall in this wave of consumerized real-time communications. Logitech, a prototypical consumer products company that flourished by literally building a better mouse(trap), aims to be at the forefront of the revolution. The company established its Logitech for Business unit in late 2011 with the mission of capturing what it projected as increasing demand for enterprise-oriented peripherals like headsets, webcams and conferencing appliances to supplement its traditional consumer-oriented mouse and keyboard franchise. Enterprises seem a natural target for consumer-oriented companies like Logitech, but what I find most interesting in the area of UC and video is how they bring product design philosophies and values--notably, simplicity, usability and price--to a market that is historically less cost-sensitive, more tolerant of complexity and accustomed to a healthy dose of IT care and feeding. Take for example the ConferenceCam 950, which I recently had the opportunity to try during a briefing with Logitech's senior manager for video products, Ziva Nissan. It's a $250 device (easily available online for under $200) that incorporates a 1,080p camera, with remote control (included) pan, tilt and optical zoom, and full duplex speakerphone in a compact, USB-pluggable package. By adhering to the UVC standard, setup is trivial with no software installation required; in fact I used a Chromebook to conduct the briefing. Which brings us to the second part of this consumerization story: the rise of public Web services as enterprise communications platforms. My Logitech briefing was done via a Google Hangout, not some expensive video conference service or even an business-oriented product like Webex or GoToMeeting. The results were outstanding. Outside of some initial glitches as yours truly figured out how to disable the Chromebook's internal camera and mic and just use the external conference cam, the call and video quality were great, while the ability to remotely pan and zoom the camera, replicating features of high-end enterprise systems, provides the versatility needed in small group meetings. Aside from Skype and Google, the Internet is littered with free and paid video chatting and conferences services such as VSee and ooVoo. The bigger problem is usually picking one that meets your device and security requirements (unlike Hangouts, most require a client-side download), but most people will be satisfied with either Skype or Google.
