🌌 Fediverse: The Future of Social Media?
The digital world is on the cusp of a ground-breaking shift as the Fediverse - short for "federated universe" - reshapes the social media landscape. This complex web of interconnected servers or instances presents a decentralized network, handing back control of personal data to users across various platforms. In the realm of the Fediverse, the chains of platform constraints are broken: Instagram followers and Facebook friends are no longer confined to their respective platforms. In fact, a Facebook photo could readily be accessed and interacted with on other platforms such as Lemon8 or X (previously Twitter), echoing the interoperability of different email domains.
The rise of the Fediverse has been notably accelerated in recent times, mainly due to platforms like Mastodon gaining significant steam after Elon Musk's influence on Twitter (now X). The implications of this shift are far-reaching; the Fediverse promises not just enhanced user control, but also increased interactivity across platforms. This casts away the shackles that once bound users to singular platforms, promising an era of seamless social networking.
Mainstream heavyweights are increasingly turning their attention towards the Fediverse—the BBC's foray into Mastodon and Meta's plans to integrate with the Fediverse via the ActivityPub protocol are testament to this growing momentum. For content creators, this offers a unique opportunity: the potential to streamline audience migration across platforms. Alessandro Bogliari, CEO and co-founder of The Influencer Marketing Factory, underlined this advantage, stating that it enables creators to focus on refining content, further extending their reach without the added hurdle of platform-hopping.
Yet, while the Fediverse's prospects seem promising, it is not without its unique challenges. The radical shift to a federated model underscores the need for content-that can adapt across multiple platforms efficiently. And that, creative professionals and content marketers, could well be the next frontier. As always, adaptability remains key to navigating the ever-evolving digital landscape, and the Fediverse is no exception.

University Of Nebraska Student Develops Chuteside AI Recordkeeping AppUniversity Of Nebraska Student Develops Chuteside AI Recordkeeping App
Computer innovation and common sense imbued by a ranch upbringing lead to a college student’s new cattle breeding program.
October 6, 2013
If necessity is the mother of invention, where does aggravation fit?
For Rachel Ostrander, the aggravation factor provided the necessity, which in turn led to the invention of a new computer program, still under development, that helps cattle breeders better keep the avalanche of artificial insemination (AI) data organized and more useful.
Ostrander is a junior at the University of Nebraska-Omaha majoring in information technology innovation. She’s a ranch girl from Rushville, NE, and was helping Art and Merry Brownlee of the JHL Ranch at Ashby, NE, inseminate cows last summer when the seed of the idea was planted in her brain.
“They have a unique setup for doing AI,” she says, which involves an Excel spreadsheet and electronic ID (EID) tags. When a cow enters the breeding chute, her EID tag is scanned and the Excel spreadsheet comes up on the screen. “But because it’s in Excel, information would get into the wrong cells,” she says. “Cows kept getting misread and we would have to rescan everything.”
So, as a class project last spring, Ostrander developed a data program that is simpler and more intuitive to use.
It’s currently a mobile application for an iPad, she says, but eventually it also will be available for Android products.
“Right now, it allows you to set up a database of your cattle within the app. You can use the tablet to take a picture of the cow, and then list as much information about her as you want. You have a file for each cow and for each bull, and can specify the matings,” she says.
When a cow enters the breeding chute, a Bluetooth scanner automatically pulls up the file and lets the breeder know which bull to breed her to. “There’s no way to mis-scan something because there’s nowhere else for the scanner to go, unlike in Excel, where the columns can get mixed up,” she says.
At present, the rancher has to enter all the cows into the system. “You can hand-enter the information, which is not ideal, or you can run through your cattle at preg-checking time and scan them,” she says. Eventually, the program will be upgraded to allow users to import data from an Excel spreadsheet.
Ostrander plans many other upgrades in the future as well, she says. These include more extensive recordkeeping and retrieval capabilities, and the ability to export the data so they can be displayed and printed as charts and graphs.
University of Nebraska-Omaha student Rachel Ostrander developed a chute-side system that helps organize artificial insemination data. In the early planning stages, the brochure at left explains the project.
“And then, eventually, I’m going to look into predictive analysis, basically a suggestion of what bull you should breed the cow to, based on what traits you value,” Ostrander says.
As a college junior this fall, she’ll have time to refine the program. Every student has to take a “capstone” course, which is a year-long project each student must complete to graduate. Working full time on the program for the next two years will enable her to refine and improve it.
The program in its current state came together in just a couple of months as a class project. “We started in December and had it functional, at least in the recordkeeping sense, by the middle of May,” Ostrander says.
But in that short time, her product impressed a lot of people. She developed a business plan, which she entered in the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) Maverick Business Plan competition and then won. Then she entered the software in the UNL undergraduate capstone competition, and won that as well.
That exposure led to an offer from a venture capital company to invest in the product. While that’s heady stuff for a college student, she exhibits the levelheadedness that characterizes ranch kids.
“They had the expectation that I would quit school,” she says, and they wanted a larger chunk of equity than she was willing to give up. “That’s not where I want to go with it yet. I want to finish my degree before I pursue this full time.”

A very nice road indeed! There are lots of curves, which I like most. Smooth driving with enough speed.
This route, called as the 'Old Ox-road' between the old Finnish towns Hämeenlinna
and Turku, is most convenient for a whole day run.
The best part of the road, shown here, consists of very different sections
of scenery, road profiles and road surfaces.
One short part of it is gravel covered,
but the main kilometers are like a table,
only to accelerate and enjoy the motor biking.
Sometimes the road leads through uninhabited forests,
sometimes through the oldest agricultural regions in Finland.
In these open parts of the route you can drive very fast,
due to the good road profile and tilted curves as well as due to the
good visibility. There are several villages and othefr nice sites to
stop and have a pause.

Not long since February passed and Hoogs released City Of Sound. Final Breath, Chimes, Laeddis and JNGLST all seeing light on Cabin Fever‘s Natty Dub Recordings. Having checked out Train Recording’s latest Off The Rails album and a very sound tune by the name of “Instead Of War” I was absolutely thrilled to see full release from SUV out on Natty Dub. So lets take a listen to what the man SUV has drummed up for us.
If you are a fan of the reece and I am not talking about the candy this two track extended play featuring Joe Peng is what you need to fill in the gaps of your rekordbox playlist with current Jungle Drum And Bass music. “Bong Diddly” staying true to those full minute long intros with perfectly timed shakers and a kick snare combo tougher than combo from Ryu in Street Fighter. “Plastik Sea” all the same but on a lighter note. By definition what I would consider a healthy roller, is Plastik Sea. Pure Jungle Techno business and proof that music does not have to be complex in order for it to sound good. Big on Natty Dub for seeing this release through, I really look forward to what more SUV has to offer. Out Now!

2022 Standards And New Accreditation Model With Dr. Ellie Kazemi
Anna and I are here with BHCOE‘s very own Dr. Ellie Kazemi to talk about the 2022 Accreditation Standards Launch. Welcome, Ellie. It’s nice to have you back.
It’s good to be here and talk with you again.
Thanks, Ellie. We’ve got a lot of exciting things happening at BHCOE. I’m excited to dive into a lot of stuff you and your team have been working on with the 2022 standards.
I’m so excited. Ellie, I don’t want to brag, but this is like your baby. I feel like this is one of the first standard sets aside from the new training site that you launched that I am like, “I don’t know. Go ask Ellie.”
I appreciate that. I have been spending a lot of my time with a beautiful team of brilliant people. I don’t ever feel like it’s my baby. It’s our baby. You and Anna are helpful with the perspectives you offer. We’ve had a fantastic team, but I agree. The excitement is something we all share with the evaluators. They were also quite impressed and excited. I’m so happy to put it out and hopefully see how everyone responds to it. Our providers are going to find it helpful, so we’re excited about that.
I’m stoked. Before we get into what exactly those changes are, I know that anytime we make changes, we listen to the community. We have years of data points and practices that have resulted in the standards that we work off of. Can you tell us a little bit about what impacted some of the changes we’re about to discuss? What’s your process for determining the types of changes that need to be made to this standard set?
It takes a lot of time, energy, and resources to involve all the different types of stakeholders that may be impacted by any change to any standard set and accreditation that results from that. We have been fortunate to have been given the time and resources to meet with all of these different stakeholders and gather their feedback. The new standard sets are based on some of the feedback the parent and family work groups have been giving us during our meetings with them.
We have had lots of surveys from our customers that tell us what would be more helpful and what areas of strengths they would for us to keep. We’ve had a series of discussions and focus group meetings with our evaluators that has provided a lot of fantastic feedback about the barriers they have faced. Our field is ever-changing, so we’re always revisiting our items. We have an ANSI group that we have put together at BHCOE that’s overseen by ANSI Commission, so we are able to get a lot of direction from them. All of these different stakeholders have provided us with feedback. We have helped the shaping of the new standards.
BHCOE Commission is our ANSI-accredited governing body. That meeting is open to the public. Every meeting they have, any stakeholder can attend, and all of the public comments go through that group and are made public to anyone interested. I love that it’s a transparent process. Our public comment period has to be open for 45 days. You can’t close it and then announce the standards. It takes almost a year to get through all those comments.It takes a lot of time, energy, and resources to involve all the different stakeholders that any change to any standard set may impact, and then an accreditation that results from that. Click To Tweet
It’s been an exciting time to see that come to fruition. The first thing that I wanted to speak to before we get into the actual standards themselves is that one of the new features that are coming with the standards is a new digital gateway. I would love for you to share with all of us what that’s going to look like because, by the time everyone reads this, we will have already launched this exciting gateway.
Talk about a world where we’re moving more and more toward understanding how to utilize technology and leverage it to make things easier for the people involved. One thing that’s always difficult about any evaluation process or audit is balancing transparency, how much information the person can get, inundating it, and how much they’re feeling overwhelmed with all the amount of information that they’re getting.
The new gateway is going to make life simpler for all of our individuals interested in seeking accreditation or those coming back for re-accreditation. This was a part of the feedback we were getting from customers. They had difficulty with document uploads and sometimes had to upload the same documents repeatedly.
The beautiful part of our new gateway is that they only have to upload a particular document once. Throughout the process, they can refer back to that document or tell us that something is in that same document, which simplifies things for us and allows an archival process or for us to hold onto material as they become reaccredited. It makes life easy for everyone involved.
The other part of what I love personally about the gateway system is that it provides us with the opportunity to take anyone interested in accreditation through the process step by step. They’re able to be asked questions about their procedures, their staff, and their training. They’re able to focus on that question and answer certain things that are about that issue at hand and provide any documentation that comes with that.
That not only increases the transparency we’ve always had a name to provide, but it also decreases the effort the customer is going to feel, hopefully, on their end with getting so much information transparent but too much information, which can also be a problem. This gateway system will allow us to balance that beautifully. I’m excited about that.
Ellie, talk a little bit more about the re-accreditation because that is where we got a lot of feedback from our accredited providers. It was great to hear from them that they were frustrated with having to load the same documents in for their re-accreditation. How is this going to make that easier for them?
The fact that we will be able to hold to documents they ask us to hold will be huge for them. The fact that we will be able to identify anything that’s been revised within that timeframe when and if it has been revised so that they don’t have to redo the entirety of the material. It will also be helpful for them. In short, keeping documentation attached, secure, and only for that provider, with the provider being able to choose how to utilize it, is going to make life easy for them.
The other thing I think about is the myth that our accreditation is not conducive to smaller organizations. I think that we do more smaller organizations than larger organizations. Sara talks about that a good bit, but this is also going to make this easier for smaller providers that may not have extra staff or extra hands. Everyone is dealing with that, trying to leverage the capacity that they have. This is going to help with that. Don’t you agree?
Anna, you’re 100% right. We’re aware of the fact that we are here to provide oversight, help, quality control, distinguish, and elevate organizations that are working so hard to provide good service. We realize that they are under so much pressure at the same time with the ever-changing requirements of them, but also the workforce and the things that are going on within the workforce for them.
In every way, we try to make the process easier for them so that we can have the verifications we need and speak to the quality and their adherence to best practices but make it as easy as possible. It is a great point that you’re bringing up the smaller organizations, Anna because they have fewer resources. They don’t have an entire person often that can be devoted, for example, to a task like this.
The new gateway system allows for them to get questions. We have created a unique process for smaller organizations. The exciting news is that, in the past, we had called these different names. We had tried to help them come along the path in a different manner. We don’t need to do any of that because of the gateway system. We’re able to create a unique opportunity for what applies to an organization with less than 25 patients and not overburden them, and they’re still able to obtain full accreditation, which will be exciting.
The truth is if I were to start up an organization and was interested early in my organization development, much of your time, resources, and energy is put into figuring out all your documents and purely understanding how you shape up and create a good operating system for you. At the gateway, the questions, answering, and going through the accreditation will guide the smaller organization to be able to get all of that in order. I’m pretty excited about that.
Ellie, talk to me a little bit about the survey. A big part of our accreditation process is that we survey patients and staff, and then we use a lot of the data that are returned to us to benchmark providers and help them understand what’s going on. I know there have been some significant revisions to the surveys. Can you tell us a little bit about those?
Yes. That’s where the seven years of data you were speaking about becomes handy for us. We utilize our wonderful data analytics team led by Dr. David Cox to do a deep dive analysis of the survey responses. We’re getting to be able to tell which survey items are helping us get toward and get further information and which survey items we could get rid of or are not written well.
For some time, we’ve had to have more questions to be able to do that. In this situation where you’re not fully sure about the questions you’re going to ask, the development of the survey itself to do it well requires some trial and error with the population at hand. We have gained so much information about what’s helpful, what our patients respond better to, what items and how have we written it that allows them to answer in a correct way with regards to their services as well as when we talk, survey staff, and the supervisory level staff.
For one thing, we are asking a lot fewer questions because we’ve been able to become a lot more focused. For another, the questions will align much more clearly now with each of the standards because we’re able to focus on the things that have given us the most for each of the standards. Both of those are exciting about our newer surveys.
I was thinking about that, Ellie. We’ve talked so much about the family survey and how to improve that so that it’s not overburdensome. As a parent myself, I think that’s one of the areas where we have done such an incredible job at BHCOE. That’s always putting the family at the forefront of what we’re doing. I’m excited about that survey. Also, it’s so important for families to know that survey is helping to ensure that your provider is providing quality service to you and that your voice is heard. That piece and the changes you’ve made are exciting for me, especially.One thing that's always difficult about any evaluation process or any audit is balancing between that transparency, how much information a person can get, and how much they're feeling overwhelmed with the amount of information they're… Click To Tweet
I very much appreciate that. We’ve gotten feedback from parents and our providers about either the length of the surveys or some of the questions. We’ve been listening. We are good at listening to the community here at BHCOE.
The other significant change, Ellie, that a lot of providers are excited about is that we are moving to a two-year accreditation with annual conformance. If you’ve been with us historically, we’ve had a 1-year, a 2-year, and a 3-year accreditation. I would love to learn a little bit more about how you came to that conclusion and some of the rationale behind it.
I’m excited about it because it will create a lot more equity across the different providers and make sure that when a parent sees the BHCOE brand, they know they’re accredited or not accredited as opposed to what level of accreditation they are. From the parent perspective, I’m excited about it, but I’m curious from the compliance and scientific perspective why we made that shift.
You nailed it. One thing that is important to us is when we think about the focus of accreditation. It is to take and develop a standard of best practices and then be able to look at organizations. For those who are adhering to those to be able to elevate them, showcase them, distinguish them, and say, “These are folks that are, in fact, doing these things.”
To do that, how we messaged that information is important to us. The messaging around 1 to 2 to 3 years was unclear. We learned a lot from parents and staff that they didn’t quite understand the differences between them. Those did not necessarily have meaning for them. From a scientific perspective, we went back to look to see if there were clear distinctions between these years of evaluation.
Although we could identify why through our evaluation process, they would have been at one versus another, the clear difference was between those in that two-year mark. We felt that putting the accreditation benchmark that you are accredited and you can be accredited for two years made sense based on the scores and the years of experience we’ve had looking at accreditation.
The other thing that’s become clear to us is our field is ever-changing. Even with the development of the diversity, equity, and inclusion standards, we were pioneers and leaders in putting those out with the standards. When we put them out, I knew there was a little bit of fear at the beginning when we did. It came mostly from the community at that time, but now, everyone recognizes it. Its importance is everywhere, like in literature and everywhere else.
We still have to stay with the ever-changing best practice, keep on top of it, and make sure that we’re reading and continuing to do that. Three years was too long. We find ourselves not able to outreach and look at things. Three years can be a lot of time to change things for organizations, particularly with scale-up and other things that may be happening for them. For all of those reasons, we thought the two-year mark was a good bit to go.
I’m excited about the shift, especially because of the impact it will have on the patients and their ability to have faith in what it means for an organization to be accredited. Another piece that I was excited about is that in your webinar and the introductory guide, you talked about this component related to attestations and the idea that there were certain documents that would no longer be required.
A lot of providers ask us, “Why do you need this document? What does it allow you to understand about our business?” My understanding is there’s going to be a reduced load of documents uploaded. The ones uploaded are the core business or core organizational documents, and some have moved to an attestation format. I would love for you to share a little bit about the validity of using attestations. How did you decide which documents were no longer necessary?
I’m a visual person. If you could see me here in the background, my hands are up because there were lots of good sources of information that we used. One was that we looked back again at our rich database of information and documents we had been historically asking for to see if that served as a good verification point. We would know that from the scores and how much it impacted scores overall when it came to accreditations.
A number of times, potentially, an organization may have been asked to revise or do anything with those. The other source of information we had was our customer’s feedback with regards to where they found us most helpful. Our customers told us that when it came to their patient handbooks, patient intake information, getting to know their staff, organizing their policies and procedures, and tightening those up so staff understood expectations better were all areas that they felt we were strong in.
We knew what some of the must keep from that are between being able to look at all of the data that we have and evaluate how many of those we’ve been asking for. Time and time again, it results always in the past, for example, and it doesn’t provide us with much more information that was helpful. We always end up asking for additional information in these other ways. It was helpful to learn.
We took all of that information. It allowed us to truncate or get a much smaller list of documents we think we should have. It allows us to be much more in-depth there. We also got feedback from customers. Interestingly, because we used to ask for some of these documents, it made them feel accreditation was much more about their paperwork rather than service, which makes sense.
Even though we have talented board-certified data analysts with a lot of experience, we take on as evaluators that we train and work with closely, even though they’re spending a lot of their time looking at those best practice issues. When the number of things an organization is submitting is purely, dauntingly documents, it can overcast for them what the accreditation process may be. All of that told us to focus and get only documents that are helpful for you to help these organizations progress. That revealed best practices to begin with and put the focus in the right places.
I wanted to get your thoughts and your feedback. We know that our customers appreciate and benefit from all of the things we provide on the business side and the things that help them complete audits and ensure they’re in compliance with all the Federal and State guidelines. I want to talk about the clinical piece because you get a lot of questions about that. I know providers who are accredited are striving to provide the highest quality of service with best practices. How are we helping them do that, and how has that changed with the new 2022 standards?
We have focused on best practices in the clinical administration and implementation of what any provider is doing, as well as in their operations and procedures. Those things matter with clear expectations from families and staff and also making sure that the day-to-day operations make sense for a business. With regards to the improvement that we have made in that clinical area, we’re super excited to create and move toward innovative work with our observations of the sessions.
Historically, there’s a lot of literature on, “How do you carry out discrimination training and this specific type of teaching procedure?” Although that’s helpful, we come from different perspectives. We see individuals of all types and all ages being provided with all sorts of different types of services. We’ve had to go into the literature, utilize time with subject matter experts, and put a lot of time into developing.We have to recognize that we still have to stay with the ever-changing best practice. We have to keep on top of and make sure that we're reading and continuing to do that. Click To Tweet
We’re looking at the reliability and validity of a tool that will help us across a session by saying, “This quality behavioral analytic work is being done here.” In my past life prior to BHCOE, working with organizations from site to site and office to the office was hard to know what was happening across them. Being able to understand what’s happening across your sites and staff groups is helpful. That’s an added bonus in this process.
Ellie, is there anything else that you think folks need to know about this new process? I’m so excited already. I can’t wait to start getting more feedback so we can work on our next iteration, hopefully not for another few years.
We are here for the long run. There are lots of great things happening with this standard set. I hope that I do not forget all of them. Some of the things I want to do is to give basic logistics. Folks reading this may be interested in starting with us soon. I want to make sure that they know some of the basic stats. We have a webinar that details all of this and shows graphs and things. I recommend that as well.
The passing score for the accreditation has moved to 80%. It’s where we found that sweet spot to be that truly differentiated our organizations based on previous documents we were getting. We feel comfortable with that because when a customer’s going through the gateway journey, they’re going to be asked questions and upload material to provide evidence of it.
The system will tell them if some of their answers and the things they have done are not going to have them meet that standard. They already will have been given an opportunity to reconsider and think if they can change things, put them into fact, and make those changes if it’s about a document and then upload a new document instead. We feel that 80% will be appropriate given the many prompts the system will give them.
In the event that an organization does not become accredited and needs to go through the process, we’ve changed it so that they can do that in 90 days. A lot of that is because we looked back at our existing organizations and the work we’ve done with the gateway. We feel that that’s enough time to be able to implement something and have some results from that implementation to be able to reapply. We’re excited about that as well. We feel that organizations will be able to do this much faster this time around and much more guided. We also have created information packets so that they can hold that in hand and be able to review things and prepare for anything they want to take care of.
As always, one valuable thing we offer here at BHCOE that I’m sometimes shocked to hear people don’t know about is that we have a compliance department where we can go through appeals and anything done through our accreditation. If, for any reason, anyone feels that something was not done correctly or there was any reason for them to feel they want that to be redone, they can always appeal. We have a great compliance system in place as well. That helps us with many things, including this.
It’s so exciting. It’s going to help organizations be able to get their accreditation sooner. For those that need more support and time, the resources are there to put their organization where it needs to be from a quality standpoint.
The goal is to give everyone high-level cliff notes of some of those changes. If you do go on our website, there is a dedicated page that outlines these changes in detail. Ellie has graciously put together a webinar. We have a crosswalk and so many resources. If you’ve been thinking about going through the process and are trying to understand it a bit better, there are a lot of resources on our website that you can access.
There’s also wonderful work that the team has been doing, like value-based pay models. We are excited about the accreditation process because it prepares individuals, and so much work was already done by them toward any system. The specifics of that are difficult to outline, but you, Sara, and Anna have been working hard so that we can speak up for behavior analysis and make sure we’re not left behind in this next movement in our field. As we’re doing that, I can’t help but realize how much our accreditation sets people up for success for that.
Ellie, thanks so much for coming on and sharing the updates to our 2022 standards. It’s always fun to chat with you. I hope we can get together soon in person again, but great having you on.
Before we wrap up, are there any fun weekend plans?
My husband and I are newlyweds, so we’re trying to explore new things. We did a staycation. That was fun. We got to see some things in LA. We promised to camp in our own backyard. That’s what we’re going to do.
Anna, you’ve been married forever. Are you and your husband doing that?
Me and my husband camped one time. That was a big mistake and I hated it. We’ve never camped since. I’m not sure what’s going to happen, but I prefer to stay in a hotel, but you may love it.
I’ve not done it enough in my life, so this is new and I’m looking forward to it.
I can’t wait to hear how that goes. That sounds romantic and sweet. I hope you can roast some marshmallows.

2 Kings 4:42-44
2 Kings 4:42-44 ESV
A man came from Baal-shalishah, bringing the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley and fresh ears of grain in his sack. And Elisha said, “Give to the men, that they may eat.” But his servant said, “How can I set this before a hundred men?” So he repeated, “Give them to the men, that they may eat, for thus says the LORD, ‘They shall eat and have some left.’” So he set it before them. And they ate and had some left, according to the word of the LORD.

Cornerback Adoree’ Jackson (back) was upgraded from limited to full participants in practice for the New York Giants on Wednesday.
Jason Pinnock, who left the Wild-Card game against the Minensota Vikings with an abdominal injury, told media he will play with extra padding Saturday vs. the Philadelphia Eagles in the Divisional Round of the 2023 NFC Playoffs.
Edge defender Azeez Ojulari, dealing with a quad injury, told media that he is “sore,” but plans to play. How much he can play, and how effectively, remains to be seen.
Jackson, who missed seven games with a sprained MCL, returned last week against the Vikings. He came out of the game with a back issue, but appears to be on track toward playing.

The days where you could head to your local bike store and simply ask for a road bike have long gone. Nowadays, you can expect to be inundated with questions about what you need the bike for. This is because there are several different types of road bikes on the market. Each of them built for a specific purpose.
Sure, there’s an overlap between the road bike types e.g. you will be able to ride an endurance bike on gravel. However, it’s still worth thinking long and hard about the various road bike categories. That way, you end up with a bike that’s perfect for you.
On this page, we want to walk you through the various types of road bicycles that you can purchase. Hopefully, by the end of this page, you’ll be a little bit more well-versed in which of the types of road bicycles will be perfect for you.
Types of Road Bikes
One of the greatest challenges of listing the various road bike types is the fact that there are just so many of them out there.
Bike manufacturers are always coming up with new ways to design bikes for specific jobs. Therefore, we are only going to go through the main options for road bikes here.
We have no doubt that many manufacturers will have their road bikes classified into even more niche categories than what we discuss.
1. Commuter Bikes
Let’s start by talking about the types of road bikes that you’re going to encounter most frequently; commuter bikes.
These no-thrill bikes are designed to get you from Point A to Point B. Nothing more. These bikes are durable. They have been built to last you years.
While they are some of the heaviest road bikes that you can buy, the low maintenance nature of them means that they are perfect for the person that just wants a basic vehicle, rather than something that they are going to have to think about every single weekend.
The frame of these bikes has been designed in such a way that when you’re cycling, you’ll always be able to have a decent view of the traffic ahead.
You also don’t have to worry about putting a ton of strain on your back. Basically, you’ll arrive at work feeling as refreshed as one can be.
2. Race Bikes
Race bikes are all about speed. These are designed to get you to where you need to be as fast as possible.
This means that this is one of the types of road bicycles that has a lightweight frame. The frame will also have aerodynamic qualities so you won’t be letting that pesky wind slow you down.
Race bikes don’t really do well traveling at slower speeds. This is because the gearing on this type of race bike tends to veer towards the higher side.
So, if you’re looking for a bike that’s going to allow you to travel at a more leisurely pace, this isn’t for you. If you’re looking for a bike that will allow you to travel at breakneck speeds all of the time, it may be worth considering.
3. Gravel Bikes
Titanium gravel bikes are designed for those that may want to go off-road every so often. As the name suggests, these bikes are about traveling on gravel roads.
So, don’t expect them to perform to the same sort of level that a proper mountain bike would be able to perform.
Gravel bikes are a brilliant choice for those that know that they want a road bike but want something that’s a bit more general purpose.
We can imagine many of the gravel bikes on the market would function perfectly well as a commuter bike, for instance. Just don’t expect to be traveling at a fast pace with your gravel bike. The gearing isn’t suitable for that.
4. Endurance Bikes
Endurance bikes are the type of road bike that you buy when you’re looking to cover vast distances without slowing down.
These bikes are lightweight. This makes it easier for you to keep powering through, mile after mile. Although, do bear in mind that they are not the most aerodynamic of road bikes, which means that you won’t be able to travel at high speeds.
Endurance bikes are going to be great for those that love a good, lengthy ride on a regular basis. They are also fantastic as commuter bikes if the vast majority of your ride will see you tackling steep hills.
5. Touring Bikes
We suppose touring bikes and endurance bikes have a slight overlap. They are both built for traveling greater distances. However, touring bikes are more for when you plan on spending days out there on the road.
Touring bikes are designed to allow you to carry a heavy pack on your back. They also tend to prioritize rider comfort over speed. Once you’re used to riding on a touring bike, you’ll be able to travel for miles on them without any issues.
Touring bikes are among the most durable of road bikes. This is because they have been designed to have a lot of different road surfaces thrown at them. They also need to support heavier weights.
Finally, touring bikes have lower gearing. This is because they aren’t designed for speed. They are designed to get somebody to where they need to be with the minimum of fuss.
6. Triathlon Bikes
Finally, we have triathlon bikes. These have a huge amount of overlap with racing bikes. This is because triathlon bikes have been designed for pure speed. You wouldn’t want to be taking one of these on your daily commute.
Aerodynamics and high gearing are the name of the game when it comes to triathlon bikes. These are made for quick bursts of speed, which means that they do not necessarily focus on rider comfort.
However, if you’re planning to enter a triathlon then, oddly enough, you won’t find a better type of bike for you.
As you can see, when it comes to types of road bikes, you have a plethora of options available to you. As we said, each of these road bike types can be split up into even more subcategories.
Therefore, if you’re in the market for a road bike, make sure you do your research. This is the only way that you can ensure that you end up with something that’s perfect for you.

226 2nd Street
Moroni Stone was born in 1850 in Council Bluffs, Iowa, to English immigrant parents, William and Mary Cruse Stone, who celebrated their conversion to the Mormon Church by naming their baby Moroni. The family arrived in Bingham Fort in about 1857. He and his three brothers learned agriculture skills from their father who farmed where the Aspen Acres subdivision is now located. When of age, he and his brothers secured their own farms on 2nd Street and helped each other in their work.
As a young unmarried man, Moroni also worked on the railroad to earn cash to run his farm. He was hard working and had high expectations. The pay received was $5 a day for a man and a team and $10 for Sunday work. These wages seemed enormous to the frugal pioneers.
In June 1879 Moroni married Charlotte Gale; he was 29 years old and was serving at the time as a volunteer fireman. After the wedding, the Gale family served a full course dinner to 100 guests, and during the meal, the Ogden Brass Band serenaded them from the middle of Washington Avenue. Later in the evening, a dance was held in the Fireman’s Hall on Grant Avenue at 25th Street. Moroni and Charlotte led the wedding waltz.
Moroni built their house at 226 2nd Street next to the North Branch of the Lynne Ditch (then called Bingham Fort Ditch). He made the adobe bricks by hand, getting the clay at the “2nd Street Swamp”, mixing it, placing it in molds, and putting it in the sun to dry. The lumber used on the inside was brought from Monte Cristo.
After his marriage, Moroni quit working for the railroad and farmed. For additional money, he drove a horse-drawn sprinkling wagon over the dirt roads to keep the dust down on Washington Avenue and Bingham Fort Lane. He was an active supporter of the community and continued as a volunteer fireman.
The decades of the 1870s and the 1880s were times of intense political conflict in Weber County and Utah Territory. The People’s Party (Mormons) skirmished with the Liberal Party (non-Mormons). The People’s Party wanted to elect Mormons or those who were sympathetic to Mormons in office, and the Liberal Party wanted just the opposite. Moroni Stone was excommunicated from the Mormon Church for attending railroad dances, and he became an outspoken and active member of the Liberal Party.
The Mormons formed economic cooperatives, particularly the 1868 ZCMI, to control the economic impacts of the railroad. Price gouging was commonplace as non-Mormon merchants raised prices on necessary goods to Mormon patrons. But the Liberals protested the organization of ZCMI and other economic programs advocated by Brigham Young in response to the railroad, mining, and outside trade.
Some Mormon Church members were not happy to be told how to vote and where to shop; two of Moroni Stone’s brothers were excommunicated for shopping at mercantile stores other than ZCMI (see 159 W. 2nd St.). Moroni’s third brother was excommunicated for eloping with his sweetheart (see 368 W. 2nd St.). Some called the Stone brothers “rowdy”.
In addition to moral, political, and business issues, polygamy and prospective statehood were also major concerns in the 1870s and 1880s. The 20-year rivalry between the Mormons and the non-Mormons did not die easily, but with the abandonment of polygamy in 1890, both groups became increasingly more cooperative. Most residents of the county and of the territory were interested in achieving statehood, and so there was a decided effort to politically reorganize.
The People’s Party was dissolved in 1891, and local Lynne ward members were now counseled to make their own political choices. Moroni had already been making his own political choices for the last twenty years. In the latter part of 1891 “considerable excitement prevailed” among LDS church members at Five Points as they divided into political parties according to personal choice. In the 1892 election, there were three parties recorded at Five Points: the Republicans, the Democrats, and the Liberals. Moroni rode out the years of conflict and always remained an active, contributing member of the community.
Moroni and Charlotte had many diverse friends to whom they opened their home. Charlotte was a wonderful mother and cook with many domestic talents that endeared their home to their children, grandchildren, and many friends. Moroni played the violin and is remembered for his violin-whistling duets with his sister, Sarah.
Moroni had two nicknames: “Honest Rone Stone” because his word was his bond and “Whispering Rone” because he talked with such a loud voice. Once he saw a young boy shuffling along and he boomed out in his outspoken way, “Walk up Coffin!” meaning “Don’t drag your feet.”
Many of Charlotte and Moroni’s adult children remained at Five Points and contributed to the development of the community. Their son George Stone was a member of the Redfield Dance Orchestra, and two of their daughters married two Redfield brothers who were later involved in several businesses at Five Points: Emma Stone married Cleveland Redfield who invented the Universal Spot Welder, and Charlotte Stone married Fred Redfield who started the Superior Honey business. Their son Charlie Stone had a plumbing business and a gas station at Washington Blvd. and 3rd Street that Ralph Kunz acquired many years later. Their son William Stone was a chiropractor for many years at Five Points. In 1910 his sons Spencer and George Stone helped Fred Redfield develop the Superior Honey business which was located at 349 3rd Street on a railroad spur. Spencer Stone also served on the Ogden board of education and in the 1940s the Spencer Stone family donated the site at 606 Washington Blvd. for the Emerson Stone Branch library.

Derek Scott Damron
June 4, 1960 ~ August 22, 2023 (age 63) 63 Years Old
Derek Scott Damron passed away Tuesday, August 22, 2023 at University Hospital’s Cleveland Medical Center, following a brief illness this summer. He was born in Miami, FL on June 4, 1960. He is survived by his mother Dr. Geneva Damron of Kent, OH; wife Amy Damron (Batchelor), whom he celebrated his 9th wedding anniversary with on August 9, 2023; sons Kyle Mark (Hannah) and Corey Michael Damron and stepson Samuel James Rho. Derek was preceded in death by his father Dr. Oscar P. “Rex” Damron and younger brother Kevin Damron.
Derek’s impressive educational background included graduating from Kent Rosevelt High School in 1978 and furthering his education with a BS in Chemistry from Kent State ’83, Master’s Degree and PhD in Biological Sciences also from Kent State ‘87 and ’91.

In 2007 (till present day) he joined Kent State University as a Tenured Professor in Biological Sciences achieving Assistant Chair from 2012-2015. His career is marked with numerous publications, clinical studies, peer presentations, awards and achievements too many to name individually. Derek was a friend, mentor and trusted advisor to numerous students, friends and colleagues during his time at Kent State.
Those who knew Derek were all too familiar with his gregarious, outgoing yet caring personality. He cherished time with family while doing all types of extracurriculars; boating, golfing, fishing and time at the beach and on the water. Derek was a ping pong extraordinaire. He was a die-hard Browns fan and loved fall tailgates with his family and friends.

There are any number of reasons you and your fiancé could choose to hold a civil wedding. Whether you wish to tie the knot now and have the big party another day or wish to do away with the flashy expectations altogether, a civil wedding is simple and easy. You deserve simplicity at its finest without a loss of quality or meaning to your big day. You took an important step, and your ceremony should reflect this. For a fee as low as just $75, you can enjoy a beautiful, quick civil ceremony in San Antonio or Austin. An ordained minister is happy to perform this quick, 15-minute ceremony with all the grace and professionalism you deserve on your big day. The most reputable companies even offer the opportunity to include photography at a reduced rate.
Reduce Stress for the Actual Party
With your vows already shared in a private civil wedding, your wedding day is infinitely less stressful for you in every way. You are already married, and thus, certain aspects no longer have to have the picture perfect standards of before. Instead, your wedding day can be one large party without any of the hassle of bridesmaids, expensive ministers, and the search for that one song you heard five years ago that would be perfect to walk down the aisle to.
Your Party Goers Will Thank You
With less to worry about, the bride will enjoy a sense of calm few brides achieve as a wedding is planned and carried out. If the bride is calm, the entire wedding party is calm and relaxed as well. With the focus of your wedding day taken off the marriage itself and placed instead on the creation of the perfect party, there is no reason your wedding will not be exactly what you always hoped to have. With less to stress over and more fun to be had, you and your significant other are set up for a long life of love and happiness.

By now, you probably know what I do… but today, I want to shift gears to talk about what my graphic design services can do for your business! With cohesive branding, you’re sure to make a professional impression! Every element of your brand should speak to the overall personality of your business and have a consistent visual style. Here’s a couple of flyers I designed for my clients at Living Tree New Braunfels Counseling Center. They needed a simple, one-sided flyer that they could print in-house to inform current patients about the support groups they offer. These flyers have the same look and feel as all the other promotional pieces I’ve designed for them in the past. Ensuring visual consistency helps their clients to quickly recognize these services are from a business they know and trust. If you need help creating items for your business with a consistent style, reach out, and let’s chat!

Shams Charania from The Vertical reported on Twitter that Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard has dropped out of consideration for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. After recently completing his world tour to promote his shoe line, Lillard plans to rest and rehab his Plantar Fasciitis injury, preparing for the 2016-17 season.
Once considered a long-shot to make the US team, Lillard's Olympic chances rose dramatically in recent months as late-season injuries, possibly combined with the reported health concerns of visiting Brazil this summer, led to several other star players started dropping out. Since May, Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook, Steph Curry, Lebron James, and James Harden have all exited consideration. This placed Lillard in a prime spot to make the team. However, in a recent interview, he said he hadn't thought about Team USA, and was ambiguous about his plans.
Lillard's history with Team USA became contentious after his experiences with the 2014 Training Camp. After being passed over for players such as Derrick Rose and Kyrie Irving, he publicly hinted that he felt he wasn't given a fair chance to make the team.
"Any time I go into a situation I want to have a real opportunity," he said. "If I'm going to invest myself in something, I want to have a real opportunity in that. Last time I did that, I felt the decision was already made before the decision was made. Whether I played good or bad, I felt like it didn't matter."
In the summer of 2015, he explicitly refused to participate in the Team USA mini-camp. But in February, he reconsidered his position on Team USA and publicly endorsed them after they exchanged calls. Sam Amick reported this morning that Lillard again wasn't thrilled how Team USA worked with him:
There's some frustration on the Damian Lillard side that Team USA folks pushed him for an answer now while giving other players more time.— Sam Amick (@sam_amick) June 23, 2016
Not everyone is dropping out of consideration: Toronto's Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan, as well as New York's Carmelo Anthony have all committed to joining the team, report Adrian Wojnarowski and Shams Charania of Yahoo's The Vertical. Kevin Durant has also publicly stated his intent to attend.
Lillard's exit might affect another Blazer: CJ McCollum accepted an invitation to the Team USA Select Team, participating in mini-camp and scrimmages. Players invited to the Select Team are normally not considered for the national roster. However, if guards continue to drop out, it's possible he'll buck the odds and get the chance to represent his country.

George Straight says the stars at night are big and bright. Tonight, in the heart of Texas, the Detroit Tigers’ star pitcher, Justin Verlander, was not too bright, giving up three home runs that set the tone as the Texas Rangers paddled the Tigers 10-4.
The Tigers scored first in the top of the second inning on a double from Jose Iglesias. This was preceeded by a seven pitch first inning from Verlander, but this would be the high point of the game for the Tigers.
Texas would get their scoring started in the third when Robinson Chirinos hit a deep shot to left field to tie the game. The Rangers would then go off in the fourth inning. An RBI single for Mazara gave Texas the lead. Joey Gallo then launched a two run moonshot that hit off the face of the roof of the outfield grandstands in right, and was followed immediately by a solo shot from Mike Napoli, stunning Verlander with a four run inning.
The Tigers would push across two in the seventh to draw within two but that is as close as it would get. The wheels came off over the next two innings. Rougned Odor stole second and a bounced throw into center allowed him to get to third. And then the alert Rangers caught the Tigers napping and Odor stole home to make it a three run lead. Ok, technically it was a balk, only because no one was paying attention and Daniel Stumpf looked up to see Odor motoring halfway down the baseline already. They poured it on from there, scoring four more runs off Warwick Saupold in the eighth to put this one in books.
John Hicks: three hits on the night.
Victor Martinez: Hit a fence scraper in the ninth to give a bit of excitement into the dregs of the game.
Justin Verlander: Three home runs will hurt you every time.
Tigers defense: Not only did a bounced throw to second that went into center allow Odor to get on 3rd, but then the Tigers flat out forgot he was even there and he stole home easily.
Look how far Odor is down the line, and no one noticed a thing… pic.twitter.com/O42PjeYQyr— Peter K (@FrogTownTigers) August 16, 2017
The bullpen: Because...bullpen.
STREAKS AND INFO:
Hicks recorded his third career three hit game, all coming in this year. He last had three hicks on August 6th, in Baltimore.
This was the third time this year Verlander has allowed three home runs. The last time was May 25th in Houston.
The Tigers really don’t like playing in Texas. Must be the heat.

Hi everyone, Katie here with todays blog post! I seem to be on a Bee theme right now so I might as well keep it going! This time, I am bringing you a Sunflower Planner Page perfect for some of your garden pictures. So grab a coffee and I will walk you through how I created these pictures.
Step 1: You will want to cut out your right and left base page using Planner Essentials #39-Torn Paper. I used the G45 “Let it Bee” Paper. Next, I cut two rectangular mats, cut yours to fit your picture leaving a bit of an edge.
Step 2: Using the Washi Tape Reminiscence Tape #1 I ripped strips and placed it down on my page like above. I used the Washi tape on both pages.
Step 3: Cut some Honeycomb from the Art Journal collection die Honeycomb Dots #1849 and rip it up so its into pieces.
Step 4: I added some fussy cut sunflowers, flowers and leaves from the collection, and my Garden Word from the Seed packet collection. (I used a lot of foam dots, see picture below)
Step 5: On the second page you will want to continue adding a photo mat, washi tape, G45 card, fussy cut sunflowers and Honeycomb. You will notice on both pages some black string like fiber, its colored sisal.. I like to add a little texture on my pages to keep it natural.
Step 6: Ink some of your edges and add your reinforcement rings.
Step 7: My last step is to always speckly with heavy body white paint.
I hope today brought you some inspiration to add your pictures from your garden into your planners.
Hi everyone, Happy Monday! Thank you for stopping by to see my blog post today, I am super excited about this page as my garden is up and growing and so are my Sunflowers. I hope this brings you some inspiration, now lets get started.
Step 1: Out of Planner Essentials 11 cut out your page from the Worn Wood designer paper collection. Next, cut out your photo frame from Planner Filmstrip set #1656 from dark brown cardstock. Out of kraft card stock cut out your bear from Joset’s Honey Bear #1727 and ink the edges with brown distress Ink, I also inked the cheeks with pink ink and added the eyes and mouth.
Step 2: Out of Florals 15 cut your petals from two shades of yellow cardstock and the smallest one from dark brown cardstock, then ink the edges with vintage photo distress ink. Next I took my flower shaping tool and shaped my flowers to give it a 3D effect. Out of green cardstock cut your leaves and ink the edges. Out of dark grey cardstock cut out your flower pot from Flower Pot/ Bucket #1957 and the trim from light grey cardstock, the handle was cut from woodgrain cardstock and inked from vintage photo distress ink.
Step 3: Arrange your flowers to the pot as per pictures above.
Step 4: Add your photo frame to your planner page, adhere the decorated pot with sunflowers and pop-dot your bear to the pot, I added a small sunflower and stem to the bear.
As an option I speckled my page with white paint and added my reinforcement rings.
Thank you so much for joining me today, Happy crafting!

Make no interruptions at work the new normal and leverage async messaging for effective team communication with ZipDo. Shorten the amount of real-time meetings to a minimum and let your team actually work.
Video conference meetings demand too much time, attention & energy and lack clear results. Complex information is fastest understood & discussed in written format to avoid distortion of data and presentation bias. We work on a team communication software so you can resolve issues in a text-based format within an agenda to which each team member can contribute on their own time schedule (asynchronous). We strive to reduce the necessity of in-person / video live meetings to a minimum so your team can focus on getting their work done.
Based on the work of numerous researchers, we concluded that complex information is best distilled in written format and that fact-backed workflows benefit most if everybody is up-to-speed as quick as possible. For that matter ZipDo will provide you with the tools necessary to collaborate on “deep work” without getting interrupted by live, synchronous meetings. We want to provide you with everything you need to get your job done on time and take everything out that makes it difficult for people who “actually” work to focus.
Thus, we will introduce a new way to collaborate through text-based meetings for teams that put results over politics.
Let’s fight the meeting monster that consumes our energy, demands far too much of our time, introduces more confusion than clarity into organinations and inhibits us to reach our daily goals.

Bright Local Parents and Community,
I want to take this opportunity to thank the Bright Local School District, students and parents for their continued patience and support. I am excited about the opening of the schools in person, five days a week, beginning on August 18th. As we prepare for the opening of school, we must recognize the COVID-19 virus is still a concern to the safety and welfare of our students and staff. Therefore, the Bright Local Schools will implement the following safety protocols as recommended by the CDC and the ODH.
It is recommended that all students and staff members over 12 years of age receive a COVID-19 vaccination.
It is highly recommended by the CDC, but not mandated by Bright Local Schools, that students and staff that are not fully vaccinated wear a mask while in the building.
Under current federal orders, students and staff are required to wear masks on school buses, vaccinated or not vaccinated.
We will continue to disinfect and sanitize common areas including classrooms and buses on a regular basis.
We will continue to monitor student health checks on a daily basis and will work closely with the Highland County Health Department regarding contact tracing and quarantine protocols. Any student that tests positive or is identified as a close contact will be quarantined for 10 days or after 7 days, if they have received a negative viral (PCR or antigen) test that was performed at least 5 days after exposure.
If you have a temperature at home, or are sick please do not come to school! Anyone having had a fever over 100 degrees cannot return to school until they are fever free without medication for 48 hours.
The Governor and the CDC recommends that every child should attend school for in-person learning. Therefore, the Bright Local Schools will not be offering any virtual learning platforms for the 2021-2022 school year.
These guidelines are subject to change based on any possible outbreaks or changes made by CDC, ODH or the Highland County Health Department.
Michael Bick, Superintendent
Bright Local Schools

The way South African players view lotteries has altered as a result of cutting-edge online casinos. These bills have developed over time, transitioning from actual tickets to their digital counterparts. South Africa has had lotteries for a while, even though internet casinos are relatively new and heavily regulated.

South African Lotteries online (2022)
Lotto was a little-known gambling game among the general South African populace before to 1997. With the exception of a few initiatives in the now-defunct homeland of Ciskei, where Score-A-Lot ran Video Lottery Terminals (VLT) in 1991, the nation lacked a legal framework that governed the online lottery sector.
The adoption of The Lotteries Act, No. 57 of 1997, which was passed to control and outlaw lotteries and sports pools as well as formally establish the National Lotteries Fund, changed the lottery sector. It is significant to note that the Act specifically stated that South Africa will have just one lottery system.
After the Act was passed, a number of gaming businesses banded together to submit bids for the rights to manage the national lottery. The company Uthingo Management, established in 1996, was awarded the rights to run Lotteries in the nation. The company’s primary responsibility was fund-raising for the National Lottery Distribution Trust Fund. 70% of the company’s ownership was held locally by Uthingo, and the remaining 30% was contributed by players and investors from abroad. The primary responsibility of the foreign shareholders was to supply the resources and expertise needed to efficiently manage the lottery system.
Up until the Gidani consortium took over from Uthingo in September 2007, Uthingo managed the lottery under a 7-year licence. Gidani pioneered the use of scratch cards in lotteries and oversaw the sector until 2015. The lottery’s operating licence was granted to Ithuba Holdings Limited in the same year.
The National Lottery is currently run on behalf of the National Lotteries Commission by Ithuba, the third licence holder for the state lottery (NLC). Ithuba raised more than USD 100 million for humanitarian causes in 2019. The NLC used the money earned in three areas: charity endeavours, sports and recreation, and arts and culture through the National Lottery Distribution Trust Fund (NLDTF).
The South African Lotto’s legal framework
The main piece of legislation that was passed with the following main goals was the Lotteries Act, No. 57 of 1997:
Described what the South African lottery was
Describe the National Lotteries Board and its functions.
Describe how licences to run the National Lottery will be awarded.
the National Lottery Distribution Trust Fund should be established (NLDTF).
Describe the NLDTF funding’ distribution strategy in detail.
The Act also included provisions for the regulation of other lotteries, such as society and private lotteries. The Law also broadly regulates society lotteries, which are a way for non-profit groups to raise money. It is important to note that there are a number of punishments mentioned for individuals found in violation of South Africa’s lottery legislation in addition to the rules governing the Act’s implementation.
The Lotteries Amendment Act, No. 46 of 2001 and the Lotteries Amendment Act, No. 32 of 2013 both updated the 1997 Act, adding sections pertaining to:
making a National Lotteries Commission official
deletion of “reconstruction and development programme” from the list of categories eligible to receive funding from the fund
provisions pertaining to a state agency’s authorization to run the national lottery
Establish a clear system of accountability for the distributing organisation.
improvement of the distributing company’s professionalism
removal of the Minister’s and the board’s functions from overlap
a few definitions
an expansion of the National Lottery Board’s authority
Laws Regarding Online Lotteries
It is clear that the online market is poorly regulated, and it may even be illegal. The South African National Lottery makes its online goods available to the local market based on the assumption that the general gambling legislation still has many gaps. The operation of the nation’s online lottery sites is governed by a variety of regulations in the local legislation. It is critical that we share with you the criteria we use to select the top online lotto sites in South Africa now that we have discussed the legality and historical context of the online lottery.
How to Pick the Best Online Lottery Website
Legality and data and money security – We constantly look for websites that have received government and other relevant authority approval to offer gaming services. We also examine the safeguards they have in place to protect the funds you transfer them, including but not limited to having a lottery insurance policy. In order to protect your data, we also take into account the website’s and other online platforms’ degrees of encryption. We are likely to give a site a high ranking if it meets the majority of the aforementioned criteria.
Accessibility – The ease of using the betting platforms also significantly affects how a bookmaker will rank; consider how simple or difficult it is to use the website to place bets, how long it takes for pages to load, and how much room is required on a device for installation. A website that offers apps for both iOS and Android will unquestionably rank higher than those that do not.
Products offered – websites with a wide range of options frequently rank first. We examine the sportsbook possibilities because different people have various interests and preferences and because this is where bookies will put their bets. We tend to rank options with more options higher because they draw more attention.
Promotions, incentives, and jackpots are significant rewards that a lottery website should offer players, whether new or returning players. In this regard, we consistently rate bettors based on the frequency and size of promotions and bonuses. Additionally, bookmakers with a substantial jackpot that has been claimed numerous times typically score highly.
Customer service and customer reviews—the ways in which the company you bet on offers assistance—matter a lot. where a website offers options for help, such as live chats and round-the-clock customer service. We also read through tens of thousands of historical reviews left by visitors to the site, and we prioritise sites that administrators answer questions promptly.

Search Jacksonville By Property-Type
Over the years, the definition of a penthouse has remained pretty simple. It’s the top floor unit of a residential building, which is oftentimes a high-rise. But much more recently, that simplistic definition continues to change thanks in large part to clever marketing tactics builders and developers are using to drive interest and intrigue from prospective buyers. Now, you might see a condo tower or apartment building with “penthouse levels” rather than one singular penthouse unit, allowing more buyers to feel like their unit is at higher tier than other lower level condos in a building.
Top Jacksonville Condo Buildings With Penthouse Units
While Jacksonville isn’t plush with high-rise condo and apartment buildings like New York or Chicago, home buyers looking for a condo high-in-the-sky might still have luck finding their dream penthouse unit inside a number of downtown condo towers. Berkman Plaza is one such building, and also the ideal Jacksonville condo building to call home because of its premier waterfront location that allows for spectacular views of the city and St. Johns River.
Almost directly across the river from Berkman Plaza is The Peninsula, an equally impressive high-rise condo tower with a number of penthouse condos that promise huge open layouts, plenty of private balcony space, and views that absolutely do not disappoint. Condos at The Peninsula also provide direct access to Jacksonville's Southbank district, making it the perfect spot for anyone who loves to be near shopping, dining, entertainment, and nightlife.
The Pros & Cons of Buying a Jacksonville Penthouse
If you’re thinking about buying a condo in Jacksonville, you might assume a penthouse unit has no clear downsides. But like most homes or condos, even penthouses have both pros and cons.
Sweeping Views. Perhaps the most obvious advantage of living in a penthouse condo is being able to enjoy the sprawling, panoramic views most top floor units offer. Of course every building and every individual condo’s views will vary, even at penthouse level. But for the most part, penthouse views tend to be quite exceptional.
Larger Floor Plans. Almost all penthouse condos have larger floor plans than units on lower levels. Whether it’s an extra bedroom or two, a larger terrace or balcony, or just more general living space overall, look for penthouses to have lots of extra square footage for you to enjoy.
More Outdoor Space. Many penthouse condos offer more outdoor space than ordinary units on lower levels. Sometimes its a larger terrace or wraparound balcony, and other times its multiple balconies that can be access from separate rooms within the unit.
Higher Price Tag. Not surprisingly, those views and all that extra living space to come at a premium. And even if the square footage is relatively comparable to other units throughout the building, sellers will always ask for more based on the penthouse title alone.
Longer Elevator Ride. Although it may sound silly, a longer elevator ride is definitely something you’ll want to consider before buying a penthouse. In most instances, the extra few minutes waiting for the elevator or riding the elevator up or down may not be a big deal. But if you’re running late, lugging groceries up to the unit, or happen to forget something in the car, dealing with longer elevator times can get frustrating sometimes. So be prepared.
Higher HOA Dues. In most condo buildings, HOA dues are divided up among residents based on unit size or property value. And given penthouses have a higher property value and/or have more square footage than other units, penthouse owners do end up paying more HOA fees every month than other condo owners in the building.

Most people who file for bankruptcy are concerned that people will find out about it. An area of particular concern is in regard to future employment. If a future employer runs a background check, will they discover a bankruptcy filing?
The answer to that depends on how in-depth the background check is. If the prospective employer only runs a background check on criminal records, they will not discover a bankruptcy filing. On the other hand, if the prospective employer runs a thorough background check, that includes pulling a credit report, then the employer will discover a bankruptcy filing.
While many employers conduct thorough background checks, not all employers will necessarily take a bankruptcy filing into considering when making a hiring decision. When making hiring decisions, the government is precluded from considering a bankruptcy filing. However, this anti-discrimination rule does not apply to private employers.
Jobs Requiring Security Clearance
Jobs that require security clearances may be affected by filing bankruptcy. An employer reviewing you for security clearance may be alerted to your bankruptcy. Also, in some cases, you may have a duty to disclose a bankruptcy filing.
It is unlikely that a bankruptcy filing will put your security clearance at risk. In some cases, a person may choose to file bankruptcy in an effort to protect their security clearance because. High debt loads are frowned upon. On the other hand, filing for bankruptcy may be viewed as a responsible step in taking appropriate measures to deal with debt problems.
Getting Hired After Bankruptcy
As noted above, when making hiring decisions, the government is precluded from considering a bankruptcy filing, but private employers are not. Jobs in certain industries are of particular concern for people who have filed for bankruptcy. For example, jobs requiring the employee to handle money or finances, such as bookkeepers, accountants, and payroll personnel, may be difficult to get if the employer discovers a bankruptcy in your background check.
Our advice is simple: If a potential employer asks you for permission to run a credit check, consider telling them about your bankruptcy. This gives you the opportunity to explain that you had a serious debt problem and that you pro-actively handled it. Plus, the employer may appreciate your candor.

A clearer picture of the strategy Republicans in both the House and the Senate will use to stop President Barack Obama’s planned executive amnesty in government funding bills is beginning to emerge.
The key point is that no matter what package emerges, there seems to be a consensus emerging among Republicans on Capitol Hill: There will be no funding for Obama’s planned executive amnesty. There’s a number of different ways that can happen.
First, there could be a short-term Continuing Resolution passed that funds all of government from Dec. 11—when current funding measures end—until shortly after the newly-elect Senate GOP majority takes office in early 2015. At that point, the Senate and House Republicans would block Obama’s planned immigration executive order in some fashion—either in a bill that funds all of the rest of government except for that or by splitting various Appropriations bills into different packages that separates funding the Department of Homeland Security out from the rest of government.
Another possibility is that there may be some kind of effort to cut the funding for Obama’s planned executive amnesty in the lame duck session of Congress now, but that effort would likely be thwarted as one of the last acts of outgoing Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
“House members are looking for a way to stop executive amnesty while passing a partial omnibus that contains some appropriations bills already passed by the House,” a House GOP aide close to the negotiations told Breitbart News. “The approach would separate the agencies involved in executive amnesty from the rest of the government funding, perhaps through a short-term CR combined with an omnibus, or a ‘cromnibus’ as it’s been coined in recent days.”
In statements to Politico, both incoming Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn and incoming Senate Budget Committee chairman Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) affirmed that is likely to be the pathway forward for Republicans.
“I think there is a growing momentum to the idea that Congress would be acting responsibly and modestly if it funds the government but simply bars the president from executing policies that Congress believes shouldn’t be executed by denying funding,” Sessions, one of the loudest and most aggressive proponents of Congress asserting its authority here, said.
“It seems to me the two options are to do a temporary CR, for everything and to revisit it at all early next year — or to do something longer term on everything other than” the DHS appropriations, Cornyn said. “But I know there will be controversy about that as well.”
One of the best parts of this strategy for Republicans is that they can have their cake and eat it too—have the government funding fight, and have no risk of a government shutdown at all.
As Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) told NewsMax TV this week, the only person talking about a “shutdown” is Obama.
“For whatever reason, the president and his people want to push this idea that somehow a shutdown is on the horizon, that somehow Republicans in Congress want that,” Lee, the incoming chairman of the Senate Steering Committee, said. “That’s absolute nonsense. I think he knows that to be true. I don’t know anyone in either house of Congress that that’s what they want.”
There’s a number of reasons why, unlike the Obamacare defunding battle, this fight won’t likely lead to a government shutdown. First off, unlike Obamacare, executive amnesty is not the law. It’s a lot easier to make a case to block funding to use Congress’ power of the purse to stop an executive amnesty, and Lee said he expects many of the Democrats who have publicly opposed Obama’s planned executive amnesty will join in the effort to stop him.
Secondly, unlike Obamacare, amnesty is not implemented yet—and an effort to block funding would prevent the expenditure of taxpayer dollars being used to carry out a future action; in this case, the printing of executive amnesty documents like work permits, ID cards, and Social Security numbers for illegal aliens.
Thirdly and most importantly, with full control of both chambers of Congress, the GOP can push through appropriations bills or a partial Continuing Resolution that funds everything except for the Department of Homeland Security—separating that out for another fight. They can force Obama to sign those because otherwise he’d have a tough time defending not funding things like Obamacare or the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In the separate DHS Appropriations bill, they can block funding for Obama’s planned executive amnesty—and if Obama won’t sign it, the only part of government that would stop working are government bureaucrats who fall under DHS who are deemed unnecessary. The Secret Service would continue operating, as would the Border Patrol and the TSA, among others.
It will take just a bit of political maneuvering to get into that position, something that’s clearly already under way.
The biggest obstacle to congressional Republicans standing up to Obama’s planned executive amnesty has been Republican leadership in both chambers.
“Speaker John Boehner, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and their top aides and deputies are mulling several options that would give Capitol Hill Republicans the opportunity to vent their frustration with what they view as an unconstitutional power grab by the White House — without jeopardizing the government financing bill,” Politico’s Jake Sherman and Manu Raju wrote late Monday.
One option GOP leaders are considering that the Politico writers described—“offering a separate piece of immigration legislation on the floor aimed at tightening border security and demanding the president enforce existing laws”—is unlikely to fly with Republicans in Congress since it won’t stick. Later in the story, the Politico writers quote Cornyn saying that won’t be acceptable.
“I think it’s got to be money focused because he could refuse to sign anything and everything we send him,” Cornyn said. “I think [a stand-alone bill] is problematic.”
The other options have potential to work out, and it remains to be seen what leadership will do. GOP leaders are likely to need prior buy-in on the strategy from Republicans like Sessions and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), as both have shown propensity to blow up legislative plans by Republicans when they don’t serve the interests of the American people.
Those other options include, according to Sherman and Raju, “promises to renew the effort next year when Republicans have larger numbers in both chambers, and passing two separate funding bills — a short-term bill with tight restrictions on immigration enforcement agencies, and another that would fund the rest of the government until the fall.”
“The leadership has not made any decisions, and is likely to weigh additional options, as well,” Sherman and Raju wrote. “The House does not expect to bounce between options on the floor — they will pick one, and stick with it, sources said.”
The biggest obstacle to stopping Obama has more specifically been House Appropriations Committee chairman Rep. Hal Rogers (R-KY). Rogers has been leading the charge for a long-term omnibus funding bill that pays for all of government, including Obama’s amnesty plans, through the end of the 2015 fiscal year which concludes in September. Rogers wants to forfeit Congress’ power of the purse, and until this weekend there was no clear reason as to why.
A Breitbart News investigation published on Sunday gives some indication of Rogers’ motivation: a major campaign contributor of his, defense contractor General Dynamics, is seeking the contract to print the documents required by Obama to implement executive amnesty at a facility in Rogers’ congressional district in Corbin, Kentucky. The facility, which already prints immigration documents like green cards, IDs, and work permits for legal immigrants, would—if the federal government enlists it in the event of an executive amnesty—print the work permits, ID cards, and Social Security cards needed for Obama to grant the executive amnesty. Rogers and his team have not responded to multiple requests for comment for the several days leading up to the publication of the Breitbart News investigation and have not responded to requests for comment since.
Instead of responding to the report, Rogers wrote an op-ed published Monday afternoon for Roll Call in which he laid out his vision for a long-term omnibus—and made not mention of immigration whatsoever within it, despite that being the central theme of this fight.
In the piece, Rogers argues that Congress needs to return to passing individual appropriations bills, but “we have to first clear the decks on the leftover, current-year appropriations work.”
“We are now months behind in completing these annual bills, and the current temporary measure keeping the lights on in our government will expire on Dec. 11,” Rogers wrote.
Rogers’ efforts have fallen apart in recent days as Republicans—including Republican National Committee (RNC) chairman Reince Priebus, Sens. Sessions, Pat Roberts (R-KS), Mike Crapo (R-ID), and many, many more—have stepped up to call for Congress to assert its power to block Obama’s amnesty. Now, Rogers doesn’t even have the full support of members of his own House Appropriations Committee, as a spokesman for committee member Rep. Tom Graves (R-GA) told Breitbart News that his boss is working to develop a strategy to block Obama’s amnesty.
“Congressman Graves is working with House members to craft a plan to keep the government open and shut down the president’s executive amnesty,” John Donnelly, a spokesman for Graves, told Breitbart News.

congruence, in mathematics, a term employed in several senses, each connoting harmonious relation, agreement, or correspondence.
Two geometric figures are said to be congruent, or to be in the relation of congruence, if it is possible to superpose one of them on the other so that they coincide throughout. Thus two triangles are congruent if two sides and their included angle in the one are equal to two sides and their included angle in the other. This idea of congruence seems to be founded on that of a "rigid body," which may be moved from place to place without change in the internal relations of its parts.
The position of a straight line (of infinite extent) in space may be specified by assigning four suitably chosen coordinates. A congruence of lines in space is the set of lines obtained when the four coordinates of each line satisfy two given conditions. For example, all the lines cutting each of two given curves form a congruence. The coordinates of a line in a congruence may be expressed as functions of two independent parameters; from this it follows that the theory of congruences is analogous to that of surfaces in space of three dimensions. An important problem for a given congruence is that of determining the simplest surface into which it may be transformed.
Two integersa and b are said to be congruent modulom if
their difference a–b is divisible by the integer m. It is then said
that a is congruent to b modulo m, and this statement is written
in the symbolic form a≡b (mod m). Such a relation is called a
congruence. Congruences, particularly those involving a variable x, such as xp≡x (mod p), p being a prime number, have many
properties analogous to those of algebraic equations. They are of
great importance in the theory of numbers.

Nordstom Beauty Sale Favorites!
It's not often that Nordstrom has a beauty sale so when they do, I take full advantage! It ends Tuesday, so get it while you can or stock up for later! If you're a Nordstrom card holder, why not buy everything you can here so you can rack up points for Nordstrom Notes. If you don't benefit from these cardholder benefits, you should. It costs nothing and the benefits are amazing.
Ok, let's get to the good stuff! One reason I love being a freelance hair and makeup artist is that I'm not tied to one brand or product line. But sometimes, that can also lead me into a black hole of buying products that I don't need. So, lucky for you I can weed out the "do not buys" for you!
Let's talk skin care. I have a few particular brands that I am forever loyal to, and all for different reasons. Some I use in different seasons of the year or if my skin is feeling more dry/oily than normal. Others I use for skin prep on my clients under makeup because your skin prep has EVERYTHING to do with how your makeup goes on and stays. You want to build a routine that is best for your skin, which won't be the same for everyone. I'm going to share products for different skin types and will tell you exactly why I love them and what situation they're best suited for.
This Dennis Gross cleanser is one of those "holy grail" cleansers that you'll use it everyday. It gives a really deep clean to your pores without drying you out and gets rid of the impurities and makeup. It's honestly great for any skin type but if you are acne or blemish prone then this is for you! Follow it with these magical peel pads and your skin will feel brand new! *Also love these self-tanning peel pads for subtle, natural color and a light exfoliation too.
I also really like this Kiehls one for a deep, gentle cleanse. Easy on all skin types, so it's great for everyday use too. This one is a little more moisturizing so if you have drier skin, this one might be for you. And pretty much every single Kate Somerville product you can get your hands on is gold, so these cleansers are all amazing and I HIGHLY recommend.
I have scars and dark spots on my face that I absolutely cannot stand so I've spent a fortune on serums and treatments to help remedy them. Serums are expensive so I'm only sharing my two absolute favorites right now. This Sunday Riley treatment is an absolute MUST. It has changed the texture and discoloration of my skin. It also provides an extra layer of hydration that you can't get from a moisturizer. It's pricey but will last a long time and will change your skin for the better. Well worth the investment.
This BeautyBio Nightly serum is so good! It has time-release retinol and Leontopod stem-cell technology so it stimulates your natural collagen and plumps the skin (hello fine lines and wrinkles!). Both of these are WORTH EVERY PENNY!
You could spend hours, or years, finding a good daily moisturizer and night cream. Luckily, you don't have to! These are some of my favorites..
- Kiehls Ultra Facial Cream provides lightweight moisture and lays really well under makeup. It also comes with sunscreen if you're going makeup free or you aren't wearing a daily sunscreen. And you should ALWAYS be wearing sunscreen daily! If you have extremely dry skin, I would add a layer of face oil under this (under serums) or try something heavier altogether.
- This Bobbi Brown cream is for dry skin and I love it. It is so moisturizing but it doesn't sit on the skin like a lot of heavier creams do. Great for a night cream too!
- If you haven't heard of Tula products yet, I'm surprised because they're all over social media. I haven't tried all of the products, but their 24-7 day and night cream is my favorite of the ones I've tried so far.
A couple of other favorites are here!
- This facial roller . I put mine in the refrigerator and use it in the morning or to roll on top of a facial sheet mask to press in all the goodness.
- This bronzing water facial mist . A quick and easy way to hydrate and get that bronzed glow.
- These Coola silk drops with SPF . These are great if you're going to be outside all day, by the pool or on the water. They give great hydration and have SPF 30 in them. Sunscreen in a serum? Yes, please! And this 'natural' self tanning mousse that gives great color! This brand is organic, so no harmful ingredients!
- Lastly, this lash enhancing serum . This has such great results and isn't irritating like some of the others I've tried.
These are just a few of the products that I love. A lot of them are 15% off so grab them now because a lot of these brands rarely go on sale. If you have any questions about these or other products and recommendations, please ask! I know the world of skincare can be so overwhelming so I really hope this was helpful!

Last month my mom left me for over 2 weeks! Can you imagine that? 14 long days without her to follow around and wait for her to give me the best ear rubs anyone can give? I was morose. I did nothing but mope while my dad tried to love me back to my normal self. Thinking back about it now, I suppose she did leave me for a very important reason. You see, my sister Emma is serving in the Peace Corps in Rwanda, and my mom misses her terribly. I try to keep her lots of company, but I know it doesn’t completely take the place of Emma.
Mom had a really great time and got to see lots of fun things besides just Emma. She even took some of our Brix & Columns wine with her to enjoy with Emma and her friends. The wine sharing evening had all the trappings of perfection – until they realized there was no bottle opener in sight. Grace came to the rescue with the old pen and rock trick and saved the day! She simply stood a ballpoint pen up on the cork, and then used a rock to bang down on the pen and push the cork in the bottle. It was genius!
Let’s all give Grace a round of applause. She is a long ways from her home in California, so we will have to clap extra loud for her to hear! It took a millennial from a West Coast wine state to teach this East Coast winery mom from Virginia a few tricks.
I figured there had to be more ideas out there to uncork a bottle of wine that were nearly as brilliant, so I looked around and got my paws on some to share with you! Please keep in mind that these are just some fun discoveries, we aren’t recommending that you try any method other than the tried and true corkscrew.
One of the easiest methods is to screw a LONG screw into the cork, then use the claw side of the hammer to pull it out.
Another pretty simple, and mind-blowing approach, is to use a bike pump. This method, of course, needs you to have access to something that might not be available to everyone, but if you are a cyclist reading this, I am giving you pure gold here. You insert the needle all the way into the cork (until the hole of the needle is below the cork) and pump air into the bottle. Eventually, the cork will work its way out.
If you only have your keys on hand, you are in luck as I found a method for you. Push your key into the cork at a 45 degree angle, and twist it in a circle until it pulls the cork out enough for you to remove it the rest of the way by hand.
If you happen to have a machete on hand, you can always try the “chop the neck of the bottle” off method, but that one sounds a little scary to me. You might lose a toe, not to mention the bottle could shatter and you would lose all of the wine you were trying to drink!
Two of the approaches I found require heat to work. The first one uses a blowtorch because who DOESN’T have one of those sitting around? On a room temperature bottle of wine, you can aim the torch directly below the cork line of the bottle, and the heat will push the cork out of the bottle.
The other heat-based method employs a big pot of boiling water. After the water has come to boiling, remove from heat and place the wine bottle inside. Eventually, the heat will push the cork out, and your wine will be ready to drink. This would be perfect if you were already planning to heat your wine for mulled wine.
The final method is the one to go for when you have none of these other supplies on your hand. You basically just bang the cork right out of the bottle by hitting the bottom of the bottle with your shoe or by wrapping the bottle in thick padding and hitting the base against a tree. Theory says that it works eventually; just make sure you keep a close eye on it and stop before the cork comes all the way out. You wouldn’t want to spill any of that hard-earned wine on the ground!
These all sound really fun and interesting, but some of them also sound pretty dangerous. I personally wouldn’t recommend trying any of these at home, and the best solution to always having a way to open your bottle is to carry a handy double-hinged corkscrew around with you. You can check out our favorite kind next time you come to the winery, but only after you have a time to love on me!

- A recording Tuesday showed Evergrande’s contracted deals of properties added up to 443.02 billion yuan ($69.22 billion) last year, down 38.7% from the 723.25 billion yuan in contracted deals revealed for 2020.
- The figures show how request is evaporating for the engineer’s fundamental line of business.
- Evergrande shares resumed higher in Hong Kong on Tuesday evening, in the wake of exchanging was stopped Monday morning.
Obligated property engineer China Evergrande’s contracted deals plunged last year as the land goliath attempted to reimburse banks.
Evergrande shares resumed higher in Hong Kong on Tuesday evening, with shares attempting to hold gains of around 3% prior to turning lower.
A documenting Tuesday showed the organization’s contracted deals of properties added up to 443.02 billion yuan ($69.22 billion) last year, down 38.7% from the 723.25 billion yuan in contracted deals announced for 2020.
Shares have plunged over 88% in the course of the last 250 exchanging days. The organization missed installments to banks in December, Fitch Ratings said, sending the engineer into default.
Exchanging was ended starting at 9 a.m. Monday, with shares at 1.59 Hong Kong dollars (20 pennies) each. That is simply over the unequaled intraday low of 1.42 Hong Kong dollars per share set on Dec. 24, as per FactSet.
The entire year figures demonstrate contracted deals of just 720 million yuan in a little more than two months, between Oct. 21 and Dec. 31. Conversely, contracted deals in August added up to 38.08 billion yuan, and remained at 3.65 billion yuan between the start of Sept. what’s more Oct. 20.
Evergrande, China’s second-greatest designer by deals in 2020, is the biggest Chinese land engineer by issuance of seaward, U.S. dollar-designated obligation, which remained at $19 billion last year. The engineer had an aggregate of $300 billion in liabilities starting the year before.
Evergrande’s public proclamations have attempted to guarantee financial backers the organization is finishing and conveying condos to clients. Be that as it may, request is evaporating for the engineer’s future undertakings.
The organization said Tuesday it “will proceed to effectively keep up with correspondence with lenders, endeavor to determine dangers and shield the real privileges and interests, everything being equal.”
Evergrande’s public articulations have attempted to guarantee financial backers the organization is finishing and conveying lofts to clients. However, request is evaporating for the engineer’s future activities.
S&P Global Ratings cautioned in November that an Evergrande default “is almost certain” since the organization is as of now not ready to sell new homes. Like other Chinese land engineers, Evergrande’s plan of action depends intensely on deals of condos to clients before the units are finished.
The designer added that a destruction request for its Ocean Flower Island project simply applied to 39 structures, as per Tuesday’s documenting with the Hong Kong stock trade.
Shanghai Shimao told financial backers in late December it would be hard to hit its entire year contracted deals focus of 38 billion yuan since deals in the initial 11 months of the year were 28.2 billion yuan, as per a recording. Notwithstanding stock decays, the organization’s bonds have plunged over the most recent couple of months.
Chinese specialists have considered the organization a “interesting case.” Analysts have brought up that conversely, with different engineers, Evergrande gained little headway toward conforming to new guidelines pointed toward confining the business’ dependence on obligation.
In any case, a noticeable Chinese engineer that met government prerequisites on obligation, has additionally cautioned of falling deals.

The standard model of the role of early experience in human development assumes that children’s environments in their first years of life are dominant influences on who they become as adults. The standard model favors interventions to improve children’s long-term outcomes that start early in life and are intensive in time and attention from nurturing adults. The benefits of such interventions, including high-quality, universal preschool programs, are assumed to accrue to children from all socio-economic strata, and to be powerful enough to substantially eliminate racial and social class differences in children’s life outcomes.
I propose a different way of thinking about the role of early experience, which I call the good-enough model. It is an evolutionary perspective that sees the human species as having evolved in circumstances that support normal development of brain and behavior in a wide range of environments, including those in which parents and communities do not invest extraordinary time and attention in the rearing of their young. It posits a floor with respect to early stimulation, the good-enough point, above which the vast majority of children will experience normal development of brain and behavior without the need for special programs or expensive enrichment experiences. A corollary is that the returns to investment in intensive early childhood programs rapidly diminish beyond the good-enough point.
The good-enough model readily incorporates research findings that are anomalies within the standard model, including seemingly high quality preschool programs that produce no long-term advantage for participants; normal later development of children reared in very impoverished early environments; weak associations between measures of cognitive abilities in toddlers and their cognitive abilities measured later in life; and genetic influences on individual differences in human cognitive and socio-emotional abilities that are orders of magnitude greater than the effects family and school environments.
The good-enough model has implications for child rearing across the range of socio-economic advantage. With respect to social programs intended to increase opportunity for children from economically disadvantaged homes, it favors investments in families and communities that open doors to children throughout their dependent years. Examples include programs that increase families’ income, stability, and employment opportunities. For advantaged families, it suggests that intensely programmed and expensive early exposure lessons and experiences intended to “grow your child’s neurons” are unlikely to be productive. For all families, it suggests how critical it is to avoid damaging experiences for young children and, by implication, the importance of attending to conditions that support the overall health of the family unit.
The standard model of early experience
Early childhood experts, advocates of investment in early learning programs, and interested members of the public generally believe that early experience is a dominant influence on the development of the cognitive and emotional characteristics of grownups. Specifically, they accept that:
- programs intended to improve the life outcomes of children should start as early in life as possible (“the evidence points to a high return to early interventions and a low return to … interventions later in the life cycle” – James Heckman);1
- more is better, i.e., every child benefits from as much intensive interaction with caring adults as possible (“children’s … cognitive, social, and emotional development is driven almost entirely by time- and attention-intensive adult nurture and care” – Katherine Stevens);2
- preschool programs can substantially reduce what would otherwise be glaring racial and social class differences in life outcomes. (“high-quality preschool is a sure path to the middle class” – Arne Duncan);3
- these things are true because of the nature of the development of the human brain.
Here’s a version of the point on brain science from a report from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce:
The infant brain has about 100 billion cells at birth—roughly the same number as an adult brain—but with many fewer connections between cells. In the first months of life, the brain’s neural network expands exponentially, from around 2,500 connections per neuron at birth to about 15,000 connections between ages 2 and 3, with rapid growth continuing into the early elementary school years …. Those connections—called synapses—“wire” the structure of a young child’s brain in response to his or her environment and cumulative experiences…. Healthy development at any stage depends on healthy development in previous stages, as more complex neural connections and skills build on earlier ones.4
Let’s call these four axioms the standard model of early human experience. They have driven two things: First is a strong and successful push to expand public early childhood programs at the state and local levels. Second is increasing investment in time and money by families on the provision of more “stimulating” environments for their young children.
Anomalies to the standard model
The standard model is more of an organizing framework than a formal, straightforwardly testable scientific theory. But to the degree that it fails to organize bodies of reliable observations to which it should be applicable, there is good reason to reconsider it.
There are a number of empirical anomalies to the standard model. I briefly review five: 1) preschool programs that do not improve and sometimes harm children’s later development; 2) normal developmental outcomes in children who have experienced very impoverished early environments; 3) weak correlations between measures of cognitive development in infants and toddlers and their later cognitive abilities; 4) disproportionately larger positive impacts of universal preschool programs on the most disadvantaged children; and 5) the strong genetic influence on many of the characteristics of children that early childhood programs are intended to influence.
Preschool programs that do not improve and sometimes harm children’s later development
The Head Start Impact Study, a randomized trial comparing four-year-olds who won vs. lost a lottery to attend oversubscribed Head Start centers across the nation, found positive effects on outcomes such as letter knowledge at the end of the Head Start year for winners of the lottery. However, there were no later differences between the treatment and control group of children as they were followed through the 3rd grade. This was true for cognitive as well socio-emotional abilities. From the final government report of the study results:
Looking across the full study period, from the beginning of Head Start through 3rd grade, the evidence is clear that access to Head Start improved children’s preschool outcomes across developmental domains, but had few impacts on children in kindergarten through 3rd grade.5
The Tennessee Voluntary Pre-K Evaluation exposes a second failed large-scale preschool intervention. It was a randomized trial comparing children who won vs. lost a lottery to attend the public pre-K program in Tennessee. As was the case in the Head Start Impact Study, there were positive impacts of the program at the end of the pre-K year. But as the children moved through elementary school, the treatment group actually did worse than the control group. From the peer-reviewed report of the study results:
Positive achievement effects at the end of pre-k reversed and began favoring the control children by 2nd and 3rd grade. [Program] participants had more disciplinary infractions and special education placements by 3rd grade than control children…. On the 3rd grade state achievement tests for the full randomized sample – pre-k participants did not perform as well as the control children. Teacher ratings of classroom behavior did not favor either group overall, though some negative treatment effects were seen in 1st and 2nd grade.6
A third example comes from evaluations of the Quebec childcare program. In 1997, the Canadian province of Quebec introduced a universal childcare program that provided heavy subsidies to childcare providers and required only a small payment by parents ($5 a day, later raised to $7). Uptake of the program was substantial, and mothers of young children entered the workforce at a substantially higher rate than was the case prior to the program’s existence. Researchers have been evaluating the impacts of the program on children ever since using quasi-experimental methods. The gist of the findings is that the program had little effect on cognitive achievement, but substantial long-term negative impacts on social adjustment. In the words of the authors of a recent evaluation of the impacts of the program on social skills:
We first confirm earlier findings showing reduced contemporaneous noncognitive development following the program introduction in Quebec, with little impact on cognitive test scores. We then show these non-cognitive deficits persisted to school ages, and also that cohorts with increased child care access subsequently had worse health, lower life satisfaction, and higher crime rates later in life.7
There are many other studies that are consistent with the findings of the three described above. For example, there is no association between differences among states in their pre-K enrollment and differences in their NAEP scores in fourth grade.8 In general, the evidence questioning the power of contemporary public preschool programs in the U.S. to meaningfully enhance later development, much less to “provide a sure path to the middle class”, is much heartier than the science supporting the standard model.
Normal developmental outcomes in children who have experienced very impoverished early environments
The empirical underpinnings of the policy prescriptions of the standard model are at their strongest in observations of long-term negative impacts of impoverished early childhoods. Classic studies involve follow-up of children adopted internationally from custodial state orphanages. Children who spend the first year or more of their life in such institutions sometimes display serious behavioral and cognitive deficits as they progress though childhood and into adulthood.
But there is a countervailing story that receives much less attention. It includes the resilience of many children who are adopted after having spent the first part of the life in a low-quality orphanage. From a recent systematic review of the literature:
While the rates of problems are higher in PI [post-institutionalized] children than in parent-reared children, most PI children fall in the normal range of adjustment; PI children often show remarkable resiliency, despite the challenges they faced early in life.9
Important here is largely forgotten research of nearly 50 years ago by Harvard developmental psychologist Jerome Kagan on the development of infants in rural Guatemalan villages.
The observed infants were permitted very little activity in the first 15 months of life, were not allowed outside their family hut, had little to play with, and were seldom played with. Compared to American infants, the Guatemalan children were extremely passive and delayed in measures of attention during infancy. However, by pre-adolescence these children had caught on and performed comparably to American middle class norms on tests of perceptual analysis, perceptual inference, recall. and recognition memory. They smiled, talked, and were intellectually competent. This, even though their environments in early childhood contained only about 20% of the interactions with adults that are typical in American families.10
That children’s later development is prototypically in the normal range despite early environments that are shockingly deficient by contemporary standards is difficult to reconcile with the tenets of the standard model.
Weak correlations between measures of cognitive development in infants and toddlers and their later cognitive abilities
One of the tenets of the standard model is that earlier intervention is better than later intervention, and that a key to understanding why is the rapid growth of neural synapsis during the first years of life. But short of substantial deprivation, it isn’t clear that cognitive growth in later childhood builds on cognitive experience in the first year or two of life.
Relevant here is that the leading test of infant cognitive development, The Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, generates scores that are only very weakly predictive of cognitive ability at later stages of development. For instance, the Bayley cognitive development scores from infants at one year of age correlate only .20 with their IQ scores at 7 years of age, i.e., they account for less than 5% of the variance in children’s 2nd grade IQ scores.11
The previously described orphanage studies are relevant as well to the disconnect between the circumstances and outcomes of development in the first two years of life versus later in the preschool period. Those studies frequently find an inflection point in later outcomes that occurs around 18 months of age at adoption. Children who are younger than 18 months when they are adopted are not likely to experience problems in later years despite the barren environmental circumstances of their first year and a half of life.12 In the standard model, healthy development as an infant or toddler should not occur in an orphanage that provides little more than nutritional support to its wards. And since healthy development in later stages depends on healthy development in earlier stages, adoption at 18 months should not erase the effects of severe deprivation of stimulation and human interaction prior in the first year or so of life.
Disproportionately larger positive impacts of universal preschool programs on the most disadvantaged children
One of the tenets of the standard model is equipotentiality (#2 in my initial list), meaning that children at any and all points of the distribution of environmental advantage can benefit from more time, intensity, and quality in their interactions with caring adults. This premise plays out in advocacy for universal vs. targeted early childhood programs. And it is the implicit foundation of the superparent phenomenon, i.e., a parent who lavishes extraordinary time and resources in providing “stimulating” activities and a “healthy” environment for her developing child, doing so in the belief that these investments will pay off in the child’s later success.
But the research is crystal clear that whether effects of preschool programs are measured contemporaneously or later in a child’s life, it is children from the most disadvantaged backgrounds that receive the most benefit. From a recent consensus statement on the subject from established scholars in the field, grounded on a systematic literature review:
Studies of different groups of preschoolers often find greater improvement in learning at the end of the pre-k year for economically disadvantaged children and dual language learners than for more advantaged and English-proficient children.13
Strong genetic influence on many of the characteristics of children that early childhood programs are intended to influence
Early model preschool programs, including Perry and Abecedarian, were intended to enhance children’s IQ and school achievement. More recently, the bearers of the standard model have shifted their emphasis to soft skills in conceptualizing and measuring the impacts of programs intended to boost the long-term outcomes of young children. The proposition is that preschool programs improve later outcomes for children by enhancing their personality traits such as agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness to experience.14
But both cognitive abilities as measured by IQ and achievement tests and personality traits such as conscientiousness measured through surveys are heavily influenced by the DNA passed from parents to their biological children. Several independent studies converge on the estimate that a bit more than 40 percent of the variance in major personality traits is due to genes whereas only 7 percent is due to home and school. For conscientiousness, the personality trait that is most often considered a key outcome for preschool intervention, the estimate of heritability from the four most recent studies is 49 percent.15 Estimates of heritability of IQ are even higher.16
This is not to conclude that early childhood environments cannot influence personality and IQ, but it does suggest that large enduring impacts on these outcomes from a year or two in preschool are unlikely to overcome the influence of genes and family environment.
An alternative: the good-enough model of early experience
An alternative to the standard model, the good-enough model, incorporates each of the anomalies described above while leaving a significant role for public programs and parental activities intended to enhance outcomes and opportunities for children from disadvantaged families.
The root tenet of the good-enough model is that the human species has evolved in circumstances that support normal development of brain and behavior in environments that have been typically experienced by our species. These environments are not ones in which parents invest extraordinary time and attention in the rearing of their young children. Rather, these are environments in which there are diminishing returns in terms of evolutionary advantage and survival of the family unit to investments in the care and nurturing of young children. In this framework, our species evolved epigenetic mechanisms of development that require nothing more than adequate, or good-enough, levels of nutrition and critical forms of environmental interaction. These developmental mechanisms are heavily regulated genetically and well-buffered from the variations in environmental experience that are within the range typically encountered by the species.
In contrast to the standard model, the good-enough model suggests that earlier intervention is not necessarily better than later intervention; more intensive social interactions with adults are not necessarily better than less; preschool programs are unlikely to eliminate differences in outcomes and opportunity for children from different family backgrounds; and the dramatic growth in neuronal synapses during the first years of life is going to happen for all biologically normal children without heavy lifting by parents or society.
The following points provide additional background on the good-enough model.
The human species has an extended period of early development because our fully formed brains are much too large to pass through the birth canal
Humans differ from other primates in many ways, but most importantly in the size of their brains. This evolutionary path was taken by the human species because big brains were more useful than big muscles in adapting to the varied environments in which humans evolved.
The growth in skull size relative to body size that was necessary to accommodate evolution towards ever larger brains ran head on, so to speak, into the mechanical constraint of the size of the birth canal. Rather than scale-up the size of females so that they could give birth to infants with brains as fully formed as in other primates (in that case, human neonates would have weighed more than 20 lbs.), evolution took the path of delaying anatomical development of the brain into the postnatal period.
In humans the brain is 23% of its adult size at birth whereas it is 40% in chimps, and while chimps reach 70% of their final brain capacity within a year of birth, humans take three years.17 Thus the rapid brain growth that occurs in the intrauterine environment for all primates continues far longer after birth for humans. One way this has been characterized is that with respect to brain development humans are born very prematurely.18 Thus the first year or so of post-uterine life for a human baby is not primarily about soaking up experience and from that growing synapses, but about continuing the anatomical development of the brain that would occur in an intrauterine environment if only human brains were smaller.
Darwinian selection for the human species favors large allowances for differences in experience and parental investment in nurturing
As a species, humans have a low frequency of reproduction, low litter size, and offspring with an extended period of dependency. If the purpose of our large brains is to give us a reproductive advantage, one could question why evolutionary forces would condition the ultimate usefulness of that large brain on individual differences among adults in individual family units in the time and intensiveness of their interactions with their young. In that scenario, children in families in which the adults did not have the capacity to invest their time heavily in nurturing interactions with their young children would not develop normal brains. And failing in that, they and their species would be at a severe disadvantage in the competition to survive to adulthood and reproduce.
It would make more sense from an evolutionary perspective for the normal development of the human brain during the period of early childhood to be well-buffered against the variations and vicissitudes in child-rearing environments that would ordinarily be encountered across family units and circumstances of living. Were this so, it would align with the perspective that what the human brain is doing in the first couple of years of life is completing the growth that would have occurred in utero were it not for humans’ need to grow very large brains. A developmental trajectory that is protected against ordinary and expected variation in environment would be baked into the design.
We understand this for physical development, i.e., we need adequate not extraordinary levels of nutrition and experience in movement for our bodies to grow normally. But for social emotional and cognitive development the standard model requires a superparent and a high-quality preschool center and enrichment classes and an hour a night of shared picture book reading (and more) for a child to realize his or her genetic potential. Adequate environment makes much more evolutionary sense than extraordinary environment as a requirement for normal development of the human species.
The good-enough model of early environment aligns with a distinction between the average expectable environment vs. the damaging environment
Nearly 30 years ago the distinguished developmental psychologist, Sandra Scarr, summed up implications for early intervention of the findings from her prior 25 years of research on the genetics of human development. She drew a critical distinction between the average expectable environment vs. a damaging environment. The former represents the typical environment a child can expect to experience regardless of broad differences in the specifics of culture, class, and family. In contrast, a damaging environment is one that interferes with a genetically programmed developmental progression.
Thus, a biologically normal child reared with virtually no exposure to language experiences a damaging environment because the unfolding of language competences that occurs in all normal members of the human species over the first few years of life depends on some exposure to language. The average expectable environment includes such exposure but tolerates wide variability in how much such exposure occurs and in what form.
In Scarr’s treatment, interventions intended to help children experiencing damaging environments can have lasting effects, whereas changing the trajectory of the lives of children experiencing something within the range of the average expectable environment, the good-enough environment in my terms, is difficult and unlikely to be transformative. As she puts it:
It is not easy to intervene deliberately in children’s lives to change their development, unless their environments are outside of the normal species range…. Feeding a below average-intellect more and more information will not make her brilliant. Exposing a shy child to socially demanding events will not make him feel less shy. The child with below-average intelligence and the shy child may gain some specific skills and helpful knowledge of how to behave in specific situations, but their enduring intellectual and personality characteristics will not be changed.19
The standard model of early experience, which presently drives most policy and practice in early childhood, is imperfect, at best. It faces numerous empirical anomalies and ignores alternative ways of organizing the current body of knowledge and observations on early experience. The standard model and the alternatives, such as the good-enough model presented here, have very different implications for policy and practice.
The good-enough model places the emphasis on raising the floor for the environmental interactions of early childhood to a point where it is adequate for as many children as possible. From a reform perspective it intends to reduce as much as possible environmental circumstances that are toxic for young children. It postulates a law of rapidly diminishing returns beyond the point of adequacy for investments in preschool interventions intended to enhance children’s cognitive abilities or personality traits. It favors, instead, investments in families and communities that open doors to children throughout their dependent years. Examples include programs and investments that increase family income and stability, as well as programs that improve the rearing circumstances of abused and neglected children.
The nature of the relationships between variables of early experience and later development are an empirical matter, not something to be assumed based on either the standard model or the good-enough model. The good-enough model as described here is intended not as a replacement for the standard model as the lodestar for early childhood policy and practice. Rather it provides a different framework for thinking about early experience, and thereby highlights the many unknowns around the critical and necessary policy decisions on early childhood investments.
There is simply a lot we don’t know and much we need to learn going forward. It will, I conclude, be far more productive to approach the task of improving lives through public investment in children and families if we embrace that uncertainly and proceed in ways that can chip away at it. Dependence on conceptual frameworks that often don’t fit the plain facts in front of our noses carries serious opportunity costs.

In the span of a few short years, the tea party movement has become a remarkable force in American politics, influencing elections and the debate over government practices and policies. Expert E.J. Dionne, Jr. says that the movement has pulled national politics to the right overall, and has added a vocal and extremely powerful far-right faction to the Republican Party, which he argues is a detriment to moderate Republicans and the party as whole.

Content from the Brookings Doha Center is now archived. In September 2021, after 14 years of impactful partnership, Brookings and the Brookings Doha Center announced that they were ending their affiliation. The Brookings Doha Center is now the Middle East Council on Global Affairs, a separate public policy institution based in Qatar.
Events in Libya have taken a remarkable turn after the U.N.-backed government in Tripoli, the Government of National Accord (GNA), took back full control of the capital last Monday. The move forced Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar and his Libyan National Army (LNA) to abandon their year-long attempt to take the city and withdraw their forces from other towns and cities in the west of the country. Haftar’s own political survival has also come into serious doubt; there is increased discontent (including defections) within his fractious camp in the south and east, where Haftar’s forces still control swathes of territory.
Haftar’s military failures have disappointed his external backers: the United Arab Emirates, France, Russia, and Egypt. They enabled his military campaign to take control of Tripoli, providing him with significant military and political support, with the acquiescence of the United States. Half a year into the offensive, Russia intervened to help a struggling Haftar, sending in several hundreds of Wagner mercenaries to reinforce his push into Tripoli and increasing its military footprint in Libya. Yet, the conspicuous withdrawal of Russian mercenaries (including Wagner and Syrian, pro-Assad regime militias) from western Libya, which occurred after an alleged backdoor deal between Moscow and Ankara, has led to a route of Haftar’s forces from western Libya entirely.
Haftar’s backers are now re-assessing their position. This provides a timely opportunity for the U.S., which has so far been a bystander to the conflict, to deter Turkey and Russia from openly flouting the U.N. arms embargo on Libya and prevent Russia from moving closer toward establishing a permanent footprint in the east, Haftar’s stronghold. Washington can also ensure that Turkey’s military gains are leveraged to push through a viable and sustainable resolution to the conflict that does not result in continued strife.
The role of external actors
External actors are key to the Libyan conflict. The GNA’s victory in Tripoli has been undergirded by the support of Turkish air defense systems, fleets of drones, and mercenaries that Turkey withdrew from the Syria conflict. Turkey has provided military support since December 2019, when the GNA — the U.N.-recognized government in Tripoli — signed a controversial maritime agreement with Ankara. The latter saw in the GNA’s vulnerability a prime opportunity to advance its eastern Mediterranean interests. Although Haftar’s backers have called for a ceasefire, Turkey sees little reason to heed the calls. Haftar faces an increase in defections and diminished trust in his capabilities, and he may not politically survive the fallout from his military setbacks.
Ankara can potentially decisively shape the contours of the next phase of the conflict. Turkey and the GNA could continue their offensive, even intensify it further to capitalize on recent momentum. This would encourage further defections in Haftar’s camp, resulting in a potential implosion within his coalition. It would also ensure that, once a ceasefire does eventually materialize, the landscape will not have shifted in any fundamental political or military sense in favor of Haftar and his backers. For the GNA, the terms of a ceasefire would need to ensure that Haftar’s control of the east is not consolidated, forcing him to fade into irrelevance.
Turkey and the GNA should proceed with caution
By this token, Turkey’s strategy in Libya is working. However, Turkey should also tread carefully. Turkey’s new assertiveness could quickly turn into a miscalculation if Haftar’s backers double-down, giving up on their quest to control the country in its entirety and instead focusing on crystallizing autonomy in the east. Libya’s war is a proxy war, one where state sponsors may want to avoid escalation but could continue to provide their partners on the ground with enough resources to maintain the fight and prevent an outright defeat.
Haftar’s losses do not bode well for his relationship with his external backers. However, for those backers, the geopolitical reverberations of an outright victory for the GNA and Turkey would outweigh the costs of continued support for Haftar’s LNA. This could, at most, transform the east into a UAE and Russian protectorate; at minimum, continued support from external sponsors would strengthen Haftar’s negotiating hand if a ceasefire does at some point materialize.
The prospect of this kind of political maneuvering among the external actors is very real. In the Berlin Agreement, an accord co-sponsored by the U.N. in January 2020, outside powers ostensibly committed to halt their support to the warring parties. Afterward, Haftar’s backers accelerated their push to take Tripoli. Heavily influenced by France, Egypt, and the UAE, the agreement was designed to shape a political, economic, and security landscape favorable to Haftar. Now, a similar process that aims to prevent Turkey from advancing towards central and eastern Libya has been instigated by Egypt and Russia. Only days after Haftar’s offensive on Tripoli ended, Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi scrambled to host him and the head of the east’s House of Representatives, Agila Saleh, in Cairo to announce a unilateral ceasefire.
There, a humiliated Haftar seemingly appeared to submit to Saleh’s Russian-drafted political roadmap for Libya. The Cairo initiative is designed to undermine the U.N.-brokered 2015 Skhirat agreement, upon which the GNA’s international legitimacy is based, though it would also ultimately see Haftar phased out in favor of another figure. More importantly, it also signalled that Russia, Egypt, and the UAE will be jockeying to shape the political landscape over the coming months. Amidst the diplomatic maneuvers, Haftar’s backers are still militarily supporting his LNA in an effort to deter GNA-aligned forces and Turkey from advancing into eastern Libya.
Libya could become the next Syria
These attempts to freeze the conflict and establish a settlement that is premised on spheres of influence over eastern versus western Libya are short-sighted. Both Haftar’s LNA and the GNA coalition of forces are alliances of convenience. The former is a conglomerate of militias and individuals with disparate agendas that rallied under Haftar expecting to benefit from his foreign support and the prospect of him capturing Tripoli. The latter is a coalition of fractious militias and support forces that mobilized together in response to Haftar’s prospective takeover of Tripoli.
Freezing the conflict would fragment both coalitions, an outcome proxy powers cannot avert in the long run. Even a potential Turkish-Russian deal would, at best, lead to a de-facto partition of Libya. Conflict would diffuse locally, as coalitions fragment and militia groups contest power and resources at the local level. In addition, other proxy powers such as Egypt and the UAE could undermine an agreement between Russia and Turkey if they felt it marginalized their role.
The most dangerous risk for Libya is that it could quickly find itself facing expanded conflict. If international actors remain involved, Libya could resemble Syria’s landscape, with years of substantial arms influxes and a rapid proliferation of disparate external mercenaries. If international support for Libyan actors wanes or disappears, local grievances will take center stage, violently. While the ensuing fragmentation of these coalitions could manifest as local wars of attrition, further internationalization of the conflict would completely dismantle Libya’s social fabric and result in the displacement of hundreds of thousands and lead to countless deaths.
Against this backdrop, Washington and Brussels should work jointly, prioritizing damage control by way of conflict management. The EU’s inability to enforce red lines is already clear, given France’s support for Haftar. Due to Paris’ long-standing support for Haftar, the EU may struggle to position itself as a credible and honest broker of peace. However, curbing Russian influence is already a priority for Europe, meaning Europe may want to avert a Turkish-Russian deal that would effectively partition Libya.
For its part, Washington could indirectly support the EU’s maritime Operation Irini, designed to oversee Libya’s arms embargo. Building on the commitments made during the Berlin accord, the U.S. Treasury could curb Russia’s influence by imposing sanctions on individuals, groups, and entities proven to be involved in the repeated transfer of weapons and mercenaries to Libya. This would prop up Irini’s maritime enforcement capacity, as its naval assets could specifically target vessels linked with sanctioned entities.
To deter foreign parties from moving to airlift weapons and mercenaries instead, the Pentagon could release satellite imagery of aerial embargo violations. That would build on the momentum established by United States Africa Command, which has highlighted Russian military aircraft deployed to eastern Libya and punctured Russian denials of its support for Haftar. Combined with sanctions, this constrains the space for outside actors to intervene in the conflict. Weakening Haftar and his allies would, in turn, reduce the need for the GNA to continue and expand its reliance on Turkey.
The involvement of nefarious outside actors is not the only threat facing Libya today; local conflicts are very real too. Nonetheless, reducing the influx of weapons and foreign fighters is an important piece of the Libyan puzzle, a tragic conflict that has already cost scores of lives.

3 Tools that Get Your Content Shared: Easy As 1-2-Tweet
It’s great to have an ever-increasing following on social platforms, but social media and marketing is about more than numbers — it’s about engagement. A community manager works to foster sharing and conversation in order to increase brand awareness and share of market voice so the brand benefits from top-of-mind recall when it’s time to pull the trigger. (Tweet this!)
Three tools that help community managers get content shared are ShareThis, ClickToTweet and Twitterfeed. Read on to discover how you can leverage these tools to get your content shared and tweeted.
Boost your Content’s Buzz by Making It Oh-So-Simple to Share
Surely you’ve noticed the social share options that accompany each article, from those on the Bruce Clay blog to the L.A. Times to BuzzFeed. Each article is easily shareable, on a variety of channels.
You’ll find many free plugins across the web that will allow you to offer the same sharing options on your own content, which isn’t limited to articles alone. You can add share buttons to static website content, pictures, white papers — whatever is worth sharing.
ShareThis, for example, is a popular (and free) tool that let’s you add social media buttons on websites, WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Blogger, Typepad, Tumblr, newsletters and iOS.
ShareThis adds a bar to a page or article. There are different options for how the bar can appear (for example, it can appear with greater or fewer buttons, horizontally or vertically, on different sides of the page, etc.). If a user clicks on the bar of green ShareThis button, they are presented with a list of 93 social platforms on which they can share. The possibilities for social sharing are myriad.
In addition to sharing content in its entirety, you can also tweet individual statistics, points or graphics within the content, such as important statistics or key takeaways from an article with ClickToTweet. In “100 SEO Tips and Internet Marketing Insights: Takeaways from 100 Days with Bruce Clay,” I did just that, adding call-to-tweets after key points within the lengthy list. To do this, I used ClickToTweet, an easy-to-implement tool hailed as “the easiest Twitter application to include retweet text in a link.”
Step 1: Craft the Tweet
- Once you’ve determined the tweetable points in your content, copy and paste the text into ClickToTweet. You can modify it, as well, to shorten the length if need be.
- It is imperative that you include a link to your article or page it came from — the goal here is to drive traffic back to your site, so the link is necessary. Use Bitly to shorten the link (and know that you can remove the “http://www.” from the Bitly link, as well, to conserve character space).
- If you have room, you also want to include your Twitter handle (which will hopefully lead to more follows) and relevant hashtags (which will lead to you appearing in searches for related hashtags).
- If the text to be tweeted includes a reference to someone else on Twitter, you can also change their name to their Twitter handle, as seen below.
Step 2: Generate a link from ClickToTweet
Step 3: Create an anchor in the original content
After each point you want to tweet, include a call-to-tweet. And it can be as simple a “Tweet this.” “Tweet this” will serve as the anchor text for the link you just generated via ClicktoTweet. You can adjust the “Tweet This” anchor text to an inconspicuous size and add the link, and voila, you are ClickToTweet-ready. (Tweet this!)
Or, you can add a small Twitter icon and make the it the anchor for the ClickToTweet link. You can design your own icon, or download one of the many icons available across the internet. The icon to the right, for example, comes from GettyIcons and is free.
Stumped about where to include a call-to-tweet?
Know that you can include a call-to-tweet on anything that supports outbound links. Consider implementing calls-to-tweet on individual items on your blog posts, articles, photos, etc.
- If you have a list of brief statistics, you could include “Tweet this!” after each of them.
- Perhaps you’ve written an article and you want to use “Tweet This!” to highlight particularly important points (as seen in this very post!).
- If you have created a photo essay and you want people to tweet individual pictures. This, too, is possible with ClickToTweet. First, however, you will need to tweet a photo yourself and then get the pic.twitter link. Then you just include it alongside the link to the page your picture is on and whatever text you created for the tweet.
- In some cases, your content’s actual text will be too lengthy to tweet. For example, let’s say you’ve written a blog post highlighting your 10 favorite books and for each entry you argue your reasons at length and there is far too much text to include each book’s points within a single tweet. You could include a call-to-tweet, however, after each entry. The accompanying tweet could read something like: “The Catcher in the Rye is one of @JohnSmith’s favorite #books. Find out why: InsertLinkToPostHere.com.”
The end product of all this strategy is that the user will be able to effortlessly share your content in precisely the way you would like it to be shared. When they click on your anchor text or link, users come to a page like the one seen below. For the user, it’s as easy as one, two, tweet.
While ShareThis and ClickToTweet are great for getting others to share your content, you are responsible for sharing your content, as well — on all your relevant channels.
If you have a blog, the easiest and most efficient tool that automates the social push is Twitterfeed. Twitterfeed is a free service that allows you to set up an simultaneous, automatic feed for your Twitter, Facebook (user or page), LinkedIn and App.net.
If, for example, I wanted my personal Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn accounts to automatically share any blog post published on here on the Bruce Clay blog, here is what I would do.
Step 1: Create a Feed
I would log in to Twitterfeed and create a feed. I’d name it “Bruce Clay Blog” and connect it to http://www.bruceclay.com/blog/.
Step 2: Tweak the Advanced Settings
I would go into the advanced settings and add text in the post prefix and suffix fields to add some context for my Twitter followers (the prefixes and suffixes only show up on Twitter and App.net), making sure to include any relevant hashtags (#) or at signs (@).
I could take it a step further and also check off the “Filter Your Posts.” If I only wanted to share articles I had written, I could make my last name a keyword. If I only wanted articles I had written that mentioned SEO, I could put that in, as well, and so on.
Step 3: Hook Up My Social Accounts
Twitterfeed then prompts you to authenticate your social accounts. After completing that step, my Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn accounts would automatically post a link to anything coming out of the Bruce Clay blog that was written by me and included “SEO.”
Twitterfeed also publishes a title and description of the link in the automated tweet. Here’s a recent example from a Twitterfeed I set up for Search Engine Land:
The tweets set off by arrows were tweets delivered via Twitterfeed. “Just Published” was the prefix I included and “@sengineland #SEO” was the suffix. The article’s title, description and picture were courtesy of Twitterfeed automation.
Just remember that you can’t use Twitterfeed if your goals are to track user interaction via Google Analytics tracking codes. We used to use Twitterfeed to promote articles on the official Bruce Clay, Inc. twitter account, but had to forgo that practice when we implemented GA tracking codes, which necessitate creating custom links rather than automated links.
What strategies do you use to ensure your content gets shared? Tell us your favorite tools and tips or ask any questions!

Dragon’s Den keynote confirmed for new virtual BSAVA Congress
6 November 2020
Jenny Campbell has been confirmed as the first of the Keynote Speakers for BSAVA Virtual Congress 25- 27 March 2021. The British entrepreneur, known predominantly for her role as a Dragon on BBC’s Dragon’s Den, is especially proud to be able to support the veterinary profession during the ongoing challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Europe’s largest event for the small animal veterinary sector is taking a virtual format for 2021. Jenny is the first of three high profile keynotes to be announced for what the organisers promise will be an exciting, immersive, interactive and unforgettable BSAVA Congress.
Before becoming a dragon, Jenny worked in banking for 30 years and will be sharing her experiences as an entrepreneur and business leader. She became CEO of cash machine company Hanco, bought out the business, turned it around and sold it for £50 million. As someone who has continually juggled her career with family commitments, Jenny is aware that the profession is currently under more pressure ever to achieve a healthy work/life balance.
“Everyone should look after their wellbeing,” she said. “It’s important to recognise when you need some rest and relaxation, and to put the phone away. Just accept that you can’t manage it all, and there are only 24 hours in every day.”
“I tend to say what must I do today? What must I do that other people are waiting for me to do? And then just put things in order. And setting people’s expectations, you can’t necessarily do that today, but you’ll do it tomorrow, or in a couple of days, just keep everybody informed always on what your time scales are.”
Jenny is supportive of the BSAVA’s new virtual Congress as a necessary progression. She said: “Veterinary communities, like other professions, have seen the value that online technologies can offer, both for networking and socials, as well as essential CPD. We should all embrace these changes and look at the value that they can bring.”
The substantial Congress programme is currently being finalised and will have a significant focus on ensuring the experience is an interactive as possible for each delegate. It will deliver more than 100 hours of top quality CPD, via globally recognised speakers, visionaries and experts.
BSAVA Congress 2021 Programme Committee Chair Andy Green said: ‘Whether a virtual or a live event our entire programme is proudly created by the profession, for the profession and we are committed to providing unrivalled education, with topical, clinically relevant and evidence-based content.”
An inspiring online exhibition hall will give delegates the chance to browse and chat with exhibitors from the comfort of their home or consult room. Delegates can also make the most of networking and social opportunities with creating face-to-face chat rooms and networking sessions for virtual conversations in relaxed social environments.
“BSAVA Congress 2021 is going to be one of the most innovative in the history of our events,” said Professor Ian Ramsey, President of the BSAVA. “While the pandemic circumstances we continue to find ourselves in are far from ideal, we must continue to evolve and progress as a profession. BSAVA Congress is a unique highlight in our calendar for next year and it is shaping up to be a truly memorable event.”

Reality TV exposes and glorifies a sensationalized, dramatized, and highly influenced form of reality to attract viewers, which translates into advertising dollars. Competitions often take place in exotic locations or artificial situations and participants are coached to act in specific ways by producers creating an illusion of reality through editing.
Big Reality Shows Translate into Big Money for Networks and Reality Stars
It all started with The Real World and Survivor in the 90s followed by Big Brother, and endless other competition shows have followed since. There are more talent shows on TV than one can count on their hands these days. With this immense popularity comes big business that translates into big money for the networks that franchise them and those reality stars that gain popularity and manage something constructive and turn their success and sudden stardom into big business.
While many reality TV participants don’t move past their fifteen minutes of fame, some stars like Kim Kardashian and the original Apprentice Bill Rancic have leveraged their television success into entrepreneurial gold.
Only three years ago when her family first signed on with E!’s Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kim Kardashian was hardly known – maybe within some circles, people knew her as the daughter of the OJ Simpson’s lawyer. Today, she is a household name with over three million followers on Facebook alone. She has transformed her sex appeal, beauty tips, and sense of style into a strong business brand.
In an article in Forbes Online on April 13, 2018, Jenna Goudreau writes that “in order to successfully capitalize on reality TV fame, the celebrity’s product or service must tie into his or her reputation that was built on the show. Kardashian’s fragrance line, for example, targeted her audience of young women and fit her persona as a sexy socialite…But we wouldn’t want to buy a Kim Kardashian encyclopedia. (Reality TV Stars Turned Entrepreneurs).”
In the same article, successful entrepreneur Bill Rancic and winner of the first season of NBC’s The Apprentice also weighs in on the topic: “You have to have common sense. A lot of these people get caught up in the fame and become intoxicated by the camera.”
The Reality TV genre has created a lot of buzzes and with it its own stars on shows. Shows like MTV’s Jersey Shore or the Real Housewives franchise on Bravo have created stars that span across TV networks and with this, reality TV stars demand higher salaries. But one must wonder if the Reality TV bubble is threatened to be burst as the cost of production continues to rise.…

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Contently today announced the acquisition of Docalytics, a marketing and sales analytics company, for an undisclosed amount. Based in St. Paul, Minn., Docalytics provides sales and marketing professionals at B2B companies with detailed data on how people engage with downloadable content like PDFs and sales materials.
“Downloadable content (PDFs, e-books, whitepapers) is a core part of every B2B marketer's content strategy, but no solution has existed to track, measure, and optimize these assets like other web-based content,” said Contently CEO and co-founder Joe Coleman. “Our acquisition of Docalytics changes that, giving marketers access to a whole new universe of data. It's impossible to make smart content marketing decisions without granular data, and expanding the amount of tracked assets is an ongoing initiative for us. Our acquisition will bring immediate benefit to marketers, as well as to content owners across the enterprise.”
With the acquisition of Docalytics, Contently will gain access to Insight Engine™, the company's proprietary tracking and analytics software. Insight Engine™ will be integrated into Contently's existing analytics suite, providing customers with one centralized location for tracking, managing, and optimizing content production and performance.
“Contently Analytics has been a great tool for measuring and maximizing our lead generation,” said Adecco Group VP of Digital Marketing John Santangelo. “Understanding what content works is a critical part of B2B content strategy. We’re looking forward to utilizing Contently’s new measurement and optimization features to expand our business through content.”
Docalytics' software will introduce key features to the Contently platform, including the ability to track downloadable content, optimize lead capture forms, and integrate with marketing automation, CRM, and email marketing platforms. These features will allow Contently clients to generate and convert more leads, helping both sales and marketing teams tie revenue directly to content.
"Creating content for the sake of it is a thing of the past," said Docalytics CEO and co-founder Evan Carothers. "B2B marketers and sales teams rely on content analytics to help them generate and convert more leads through content, which is why we count some of the world's biggest B2B brands as clients. Contently's acquisition of Docalytics will allow us to help many more of the world's most recognizable B2B brands optimize and scale their content efforts."
All Docalytics employees are staying on, and will operate as employees of Contently's Midwest office, focused on growing Contently's engineering team and customer base.

Drive-up mini storage is a popular and practical option for those who require additional storage. In this blog recommended site, we will explain what you should know before you start your journey with Zu Mi Ni Cang.
The majority of drive-up mini storage facilities are located close to busy highways. This makes it easy for customers to access them. It’s easy to drive up to your apartment, and you can load or unload immediately.
Drive-Up Access – The biggest benefit of drive up mini storage is the speed and ease with which you can get to your unit. Customers who need to store larger items such as appliances or furniture will benefit.
Outdoor Units are accessible by vehicle or truck in drive-up mini storage facilities. These units can be used to store bulky objects, or by clients needing extra space. They are usually larger than indoor storage units.
Climate Control: Some drive-up mini-storage facilities provide indoor climate-controlled units. Usually, however, the outside units are not climate controlled. Customers needing to store temperature-sensitive products, such as electronics or artwork, will find this excellent.
Mini-storage units with drive-up access often have security features, such as guarded and gated areas, surveillance cameras, or individual unit alarms. This will increase your security and ensure that your belongings are safe.
Drive-up Mini-Storage Facilities are usually less expensive than any other storage facility, making them an attractive option for both individuals and businesses.
Drive-up mini storage units offer flexible leasing options such as month-to-month and long-term contracts. The lease options are now available to customers, allowing them to choose what suits their financial and personal situation.
Consider your own storage needs when choosing a drive-up facility. Think about the things that you plan to store, how much room you need and your budget. Also, take into account the facility’s accessibility to climate-controlled unit and security.

Liquid Collectibles offers projects the possibility to create BEP-20 tokens that are backed by NFTs. These tokens are called NFT Indexes (NFTi) and can be traded in websites like ApeSwap same as any other BEP-20 token.
Liquid Collectibles benefits for users:
● LP staking of NFTi to earn yield rewards
● Instantly buying/selling NFTs
● Better price discovery
● Increased liquidity
This is simply the process of selling your NFT. When tokenizing an NFT on Liquid Collectibles, you get NFT indexes in return. If you tokenize, for example, a Liquid Monster NFT, instead of getting $BNB in return, you’ll get $LIMOi tokens which can then be converted to any token you want in decentralized exchanges such as ApeSwap.
Anyone can deposit NFTs into existing collections. When depositing NFTs into collections users get 95 NFT Indexes in return.
NFT Indexes can be used to:
● Collect NFTs from collections (105 NFTi : 1 NFT)
– Each collection has its own NFTi, you can’t acquire NFTs from a given collection using NFTi tokens from other collections.
● Build LP tokens & yield to earn rewards
● Trade for any other token like BTC, USDT, etc.
Important: Please be aware that the exact same NFT you deposit in a collection may not be available later if you want to recover it since someone else could have collected it.
You can collect NFTs on our website using NFTi and BNB.
E.g., let’s say you want to acquire a Liquid Monster NFT. To claim it from the collection, you’ll need 105 Liquid Monsters NFT Indexes (called $LIMOi) or the equivalent in $BNB.
If you have no idea about how to get NFTi for a given NFT collection, don’t worry.
1. Visit https://liquidcollectibles.io/collections
2. Select the collection you’re interested in
3. Click the “Get (NFTi name)” button. It will take you to ApeSwap’s website.
Benefits for everyone
Collectors can tokenize their NFT to get the NFT Index (NFTi) and take advantage of the benefits offered by the DeFi space.
❌ Without Liquid Collectibles: #HODL NFT in a wallet, no yield rewards.
✔️ With Liquid Collectibles: Tokenize your NFT to NFTi, earn yield rewards, stake.
No more worries about illiquidity and price setting, with Liquid Collectibles speculating and trading in the NFT market it’s much easier.
❌ Without Liquid Collectibles: More difficulties setting a price, you have to wait for a buyer in order to sell.
✔️ With Liquid Collectibles: NFTs liquid markets access (instantly sell) & better price tracking.
As a content creator you can benefit from launching on the Liquid Collectibles protocol through:
● Protocol fees
● NFTs distribution in AMM (through NFTi)
● Greater reach
● Instantly liquid markets

Our next London 2012 Cal athlete is Erin Cafaro, a woman's rower for team USA. While at Cal helped the Women's 8 win both the Pac-10 and NCAA Championships in 2005. She also won gold in 2008 for team USA and is looking for another one to add to her haul of awards and medals. She started her rowing career in Berkeley and her brother JD was a defensive end on the football team from 2000-04. So her Cal roots run deep! Learn more about Erin after the jump!
Erin starting rowing when she came to Cal in 2001 and quickly showed that she was really, really good at it. By the end of her first year she was on the varsity team and finished out her career at Cal with national championships in 2005 and 2006. She started rowing full time with the National Team in 2006 and continued to improve her skills, culminating with a gold medal in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. She was selected as the 2009 Female Athlete of the Year for USA Rowing in 2009, the same year that she also won Gold Medals both in the Women’s 2- and 8+ events at the 2009 World Rowing Championships.

Los Angeles, Calif. (August 18, 2020) — Outrage is growing over the misguided and cynical plan to bulldoze the Ballona Wetlands State Ecological Reserve, 640 acres that is teeming with wildlife and plants, some threatened and endangered.
In Defense of Animals will host a Virtual Town Hall on this issue on Tuesday, August 18th at 5 p.m. PT, which will stream on multiple Facebook pages. Some 40 environmental and animal welfare organizations have voiced opposition to this project.
The event will lead off with a major announcement regarding the effort to stop this environmentally destructive boondoggle — a lawsuit filed by nationally recognized civil rights, environmental and animal protection attorney Bryan W. Pease exposing the flagrant misuse of public funds. The suit was filed August 7th by Defend Ballona Wetlands, the Animal Protection, Rescue League Inc. and three individuals in Los Angeles Superior Court against the California State Coastal Conservancy and the Santa Monica Bay Restoration Foundation.
The plan, which state agencies falsely call a “restoration,” would do the opposite, spending 270 million dollars and 9 long years bulldozing the entire reserve, LA’s last remaining coastal wetlands and a landing spot for migratory birds.
Proponents claim this “restoration” will provide more public access. The truth is, again, the opposite. Access is currently being denied to the public by the very entities that purport to want to provide it. There is literally a locked gate that stops taxpayers from accessing the wetlands. State agencies have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars improving an area where the public is locked out. All they have to do is unlock the gate! Instead, they want to destroy the entire reserve.
If the big bulldozing project proceeds, a well-used, beloved bicycle path through the heart of the Ballona Wetlands State Ecological Reserve, would be demolished, thus removing a really important public access trail that exists today.
Follow the Money
The real agenda is to allow SoCal Gas to dig up those wetlands and “restore” their crumbling infrastructure. Underneath the wetlands are gas wells and pipes. Most people have no idea. Gas is pumped in from various states and held there to be pumped out during the most profitable seasons.
The organizations that support this flawed plan have gotten significant donations from SoCalGas. And guess who has the keys to the locked gate they could open today? SoCalGas.
Nine years of bulldozing, destruction and death will obliterate the natural beauty of Playa del Rey’s seaside community and create a traffic nightmare for Playa and neighboring Marina del Rey and Culver City, making transit to and from nearby LAX an obstacle course.
This plan would spell certain death for thousands of wild animals – owls, foxes, skunks, egrets and more – who rely on this habitat – it’s their home.
Today, the world reels from a zoonotic pandemic caused by human interference with wildlife. Experts send a clear message: let wildlife be. Give nature some room. The wetlands, as they stand now, are perfectly designed to provide the measured public access that lets people enjoy nature without destroying it.
To that end, key leaders who demand access to Ballona Wetlands are taking part in a Virtual Town Hall on Tuesday, August 18th at 5 p.m. PT to explain why this bulldozing plan is a boondoggle and a betrayal. Environmental lawyer Bryan Pease who filed the case will be the star guest. Please join the Town Hall for an exclusive opportunity to ask questions about the alleged misuse of $12 million public dollars.
- Event Host: Lisa Levinson, In Defense of Animals
- Panel Moderator: Molly Basler, Green Dream Campaign, Climate Reality
- Rick Pine, Ballona Naturalist
- Mary Beth Trautwein, Protect Playa Now
- Jane Velez-Mitchell, journalist and author
- Bryan W. Pease, nationally recognized civil rights, environmental and animal protection attorney at law
Members of the public are encouraged to attend the town hall and also sign the alert to California Governor Gavin Newsom, Sens. Kamala Harris and Dianne Feinstein, Reps. Ted Lieu and Maxine Waters and LA County Supervisor Janice Hahn.

If your firm is eyeing global expansion, then chances are you’ve heard a lot about APAC, the Asia-Pacific region. Since the 80s, the term has become commonplace in discussions of global business, finance, and geopolitics — and with good reason. The region encompasses much of the planet.
The APAC region has made many international companies and businesses turn their heads, and in this post, we are going to explore the core reasons why companies should consider expanding and cross-border marketing into the APAC region.
Fast Developing environment
Asia has become extraordinarily tech-focused and innovative. World-class tech hubs are growing in Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and other Asian cities. Advancing technology, government support, and tax breaks create a favorable environment to nurture businesses.
Mobile is also changing and advancing the business environment in Asia. This growth will be driven by mobile apps and improving logistics networks, the report suggests.
Increased access to mobile devices, increased e-commerce and apps, and improved networks mean more opportunities and a better environment for every type of business.
Check out our Latest Blog: Tips to Scale your FinTech Firm in APAC
Massive population market
Asia is a gigantic market. Not only does the vast population represent a large market of potential customers, but also it is a market of upcoming and untapped talent. The growing population combined with the evolving tech industry means a steady supply of promising engineers, designers, and entrepreneurs.
With a large talent pool and customer base, the opportunities in Asia are limitless.
Major cities in Asia have advanced infrastructure that makes setting up businesses easier. Rapid growth in Asian countries has required a larger investment in both economic and social infrastructures, and improvements in these areas are visible.
Improvements in the business sector are reducing barriers to entry and increasing opportunities. In Japan, for example, relaxed requirements now allow foreigners to start businesses in the country without a permanent residence
Markets in Asia are still developing, and that’s exciting. Unlike established markets in the U.S. and Western Europe, an emerging economy leaves more room for innovation and unique opportunities.
Various studies have conducted that India was the fastest-growing startup ecosystem in the world, with 800 new startups launching each year.
Getting in on the ground floor of rising economies means seizing new opportunities and more possibilities than are available in developed economies that are growing at a much slower rate.
Asia has a very business-friendly environment, especially for foreign investors.
Singapore, for instance, offers low taxes for companies, and it has an easy setup for new businesses. Singapore has consistently been recognized among the world’s best places to do business and remains among the top choices for business investors.
Compared to other countries considered as business hubs, Singapore offers one of the easiest and quickest processes of business registration, which attracts investors to start a business in Singapore.
Hong Kong is similar to Singapore in terms of business advantages and ease of setting up and doing business. Foreign investors in Hong Kong have access to low taxation, and international corporations can expand their operations into other Asian economies by opening a branch in Hong Kong. Hong Kong has the added advantage of proximity to the vast Chinese market and preferential trade terms with China compared to other countries.
Great Economic Growth
Asia has experienced spectacular economic growth and has become a breeding ground for fast-moving, innovative, and competitive businesses. It has become richer faster than any other region of the world.
The majority of the growth will come from China, India, and the ASEAN countries, and it will give rise to a shifting world order with Asian economies taking the lead as global leaders and advertising their governance model across the world.
Singapore is known worldwide for its superior education system. It is therefore not surprising that this country has one of the best available skilled workforces in the market. Singaporeans are known for their hardworking and rule-abiding nature in addition to their educational and technical expertise. Additionally, the favorable immigration systems attract a lot of global talent that you can also recruit for your business by pairing with a reputable recruitment agency. Another big advantage of this workforce is that it is primarily English-speaking, making communication with most foreign HQs easy.
The above is by no means an exhaustive list of reasons why you should consider Asia as your next opportunity to expand abroad. There are so many additional nuances worth exploring depending on the jurisdiction you may be looking at, but these are the main reasons why you should start considering expanding into APAC.

Northwest Exterminating uses an Integrated Pest Management, or IPM, approach to our pest control program, NorPest Green. IPM is an effective and environmentally sensitive way of treating pests using a common sense approach. Using non-chemicals is the primary means of treating pests in an IPM program which coincides with Northwest’s goal of creating healthier living and working environments.
The common sense approach that IPM is based on consists of many different elements such as habitat modification that reduces or eliminates sources of food, water, shelter, entryways for pests, and maintaining healthy lawns. Preventative measures like thorough and frequent cleaning of food storage areas, caulking cracks, daily trash removal, properly spreading mulch, and proper landscaping techniques all play an important role in reducing pest problems.
Pest Prevention Tips:
● Caulk any cracks or gaps in the structure to block pests from coming into your structure
● Use door sweeps and screens on windows and doors
● Grade away from the structure to prevent water from pooling which can lead to mold
● Landscape using indigenous vegetation that is naturally pest resistant
● Avoid indoor plantings that foster mold growth and can serve as attractants for pests
● Keep vegetation away from the structure to reduce mold and pests’ access into the structure
For help in these, or other areas around your structure, please contact Northwest Exterminating.

What is angiosarcoma?
Angiosarcoma is a rare cancer that develops in the inner lining of blood vessels and lymph vessels. This cancer can occur anywhere in the body but most often is in the skin, breast, liver and spleen.
How common is angiosarcoma?
For every million people, one will be diagnosed with angiosarcoma per year in the U.S. Angiosarcomas make up about 1% to 2% of all sarcomas. They are most common in people over the age of 70 but can happen at any age.
How is angiosarcoma diagnosed?
Angiosarcomas often look like a bruised, purple-ish area on the skin. These areas may bleed easily when they are scratched or bumped. They grow larger over time and the skin around the bruised area can swell.
You may have pain in the area where the tumor is growing. If the angiosarcoma is growing deeper in your body (such as in the liver), and not towards the skin’s surface, you may not notice as many symptoms. It is sometimes possible to feel the lump.
Imaging: If you have symptoms, your doctor will use imaging scans such as MRI, CT, or PET scan to look at the tumor's size and location.
Biopsy: To check if the tumor is angiosarcoma, your doctor will perform a biopsy, taking a small sample from the tumor with a needle. A pathologist will study cells from the sample under the microscope to see what kind of tumor it is.
How is angiosarcoma treated?
Angiosarcoma is a fast-growing cancer, so your doctors will treat it aggressively.
Surgery: Doctors will remove as much of the angiosarcoma as possible with surgery but sometimes it is not possible due to the location.
Radiation Therapy: Radiation therapy can be used around the time of surgery. The radiation is aimed at the tumor area to prevent it from growing back after it is removed. Radiation therapy may also be used if your angiosarcoma cannot be removed with surgery.
Chemotherapy: If your tumor has spread to other parts of your body, chemotherapy may be used to kill the cancer cells. Chemotherapy may also be combined with radiation therapy if your angiosarcoma cannot be removed by surgery.
Doctors and scientists are developing new treatments for angiosarcoma.
Does angiosarcoma run in families?
Angiosarcoma can sometimes run in families. Scientists have found that people with a change in a gene called POT1 may develop angiosarcoma of the heart, and this change can be passed on to their children.
How does angiosarcoma form?
Scientists are always working to understand how cancer forms, but it can be hard to prove. We know that some risk factors for getting angiosarcoma include:
- Lymphedema, a problem in which extra lymph fluid builds up in tissues, causing swelling, usually in the arms or legs
- Past radiation therapy, such as treatment for breast cancer or Hodgkin lymphoma
- Exposure to some cancer-causing chemicals
What is the prognosis for someone with angiosarcoma?
The estimate of how a disease will affect you long-term is called prognosis. Every person is different and prognosis will depend on many factors, such as:
- Where the tumor is in your body
- If the cancer has spread to other parts of your body
- How much of the tumor was taken out during surgery
If you want information on your prognosis, it is important to talk to your doctor. NCI also has resources to help you understand cancer prognosis.
Doctors estimate survival rates by how groups of people with angiosarcomas have done in the past. Given that there are so few angiosarcoma patients, survival rates may not be accurate. They also do not consider newer treatments being developed.
People with low-grade breast angiosarcoma survive longer than people with other types of this cancer. Many people with angiosarcoma aren’t diagnosed until their cancer has already spread to other parts of the body, which often results in a worse prognosis.

Normani Kordei of Fifth Harmony was just 4 years-old when her mother, Andrea Hamilton, was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer. These memories of her mother’s illness, who Normani calls her role model, inspiration, and best friend, lead Normani to partner with the American Cancer Society as a global ambassador. Now Normani and her mother will share their story to help increase awareness about the importance of breast cancer screenings in underserved communities.
Its very important for me to be able to speak out because we’ve gone through it. It’s almost… It’s my duty. It’s who I am and it’s what I’m supposed to be doing. It’s my purpose.
The American Cancer Society is more than groundbreaking research and medical breakthroughs. It’s about free rides to chemo and finding ways to help you look better than you feel. That’s why your donations are so important and how you’re helping us attack cancer from every angle.
Help us save lives from breast cancer by joining a Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event in your community.

Cabbage seedpod weevil. Dry conditions last August could mean lower numbers for 2019, but you still want to scout. Scout at 10-20% flower (or approximately one week after first flower) using a sweep net. The action threshold for applying insecticides is 25-40 weevils in 10 sweeps. Read more on scouting and thresholds. Share your results: Alberta.
Bertha armyworm. Manitoba adult trap counts are generally low so far, with only one trap reporting more than 300 adults (cumulative for the year), which is the threshold between low and medium risk. Alberta is similar, with only two sites so far with more than 300. Saskatchewan’s map, when ready, will be posted here, but the highest count so far is at Rudy and the number is only 131. These adult counts are done to indicate possible risk areas for larvae later in the season.
Grasshoppers. Grasshoppers are causing some problems in areas that remain dry. As for areas that got rain, the rapid crop growth that results should reduce the economic risk from grasshoppers. Rain also tends to predispose grasshoppers to fungal, bacterial and viral infections. Nymphs can also be knocked off plants and drown in puddles. More rain is better, when it comes to these natural population control measures, and one rain event is not enough – particularly for the fungal infection. Moisture needs to be sustained, and warm humid weather afterward adds to infection severity. Read more for thresholds and scouting tips.
Lygus. We don’t have reports of lygus issues, but we want to highlight a 4-year research study published in 2019. It assessed the impact of cabbage seedpod weevil control on lygus bug levels later in the season. The study found that fields flowering early enough to require control for cabbage seedpod weevil were not fields that later experienced high lygus infestation. Growers should continue to scout and manage cabbage seedpod weevil and lygus bug separately (Hector Carcamo 2019). Lygus scouting, thresholds and timing.
Diamondback moth larvae. Beneficial pathogens and insects usually keep the population in check, but scout anyway to make sure. Diamondback moth normally do the most damage to canola when leaves are senescing and larvae are moving onto pods to feed. Consider insecticide application when 200 to 300 larvae per square metre (20 to 30 per square foot) are present at the advanced pod stage. Read more.

Wind and rain can push back herbicide spraying to the point where weed pressure will start to reduce yields. While some yield loss may be permanent, late-window sprays can still make a big difference when compared to doing nothing. Late control can stop the yield loss, stop weeds from contributing substantially to the weed seed bank, and improve crop harvestability.
With any later applications, always follow labels for rate, timing and pre-harvest intervals (PHI). Applications made after the label window can lead to reduced weed control due to advanced weed staging and reduced herbicide contact with the weeds through the increased canola canopy closure. Late applications can also cause canola buds to abort, increasing the potential for permanent yield loss. Finally, late applications and higher than recommended rates of registered herbicides can increase the risk of elevated residues in the marketable grain. Foreign buyers are testing for pesticide residues that exceed registered maximum residue limits (MRLs) or are not registered for use on that crop. Read more tips from Keep it Clean on following the label to avoid unacceptable residues.
The Canola Encyclopedia has more on herbicide timing, including this table, which shows the window of application for various canola herbicides and systems.
What happens if you spray past this window?
Going off label is generally a bad idea for crop safety (which can reduce yields) and for potential pesticide residues in harvested seed.
Glyphosate on Roundup Ready: Canola has to metabolize the herbicide so it doesn’t damage the plant. At bud stages and after, the plant is pumping all its energy into the floral region, which means glyphosate will translocate there as well. Either the plant can’t metabolize glyphosate in these regions fast enough to stop it from harming yield, or the two genes that metabolize glyphosate are not strongly expressed at these stages. For whichever reason, the yield loss can start at a few bushels per acre and kick in fairly soon after the window closes.
Liberty on Liberty Link: Canola plants that receive an application of glufosinate after the six leaf stage could be shorter because more energy is required to metabolize the herbicide. Reductions in yield can also occur because of the energy trade off of metabolizing a late application and, potentially, because of lower expression of an enzyme responsible for metabolizing glufosinate in the floral regions.
Imazamox (one active in Ares SN) on Clearfield: A Western Canada study by Tozzi et al, IMI-resistant canola did not show significant yield loss when imazamox was applied late. Unlike the other two herbicide systems, IMI-resistant canola possesses sufficient gene expression in the floral regions to allow rapid metabolism of a late application. Corteva says the same is true for imazapyr (the other active in Ares). Despite the lack of yield loss for a late application, early applications are recommended to avoid massive losses from weed competition. With the Clearfield system, the partner herbicide can only be applied once per season.
If considering a late application because of severe weed competition, please contact your seed rep. Consider potential residues as well as crop safety. Pre-harvest intervals are 60 days for Liberty. Use the tool at spraytoswath.ca and read more at keepingitclean.ca.

A committee, composed of experts in journalism, design and architecture, will choose from a pool of applicants to create a memorial at the National Mall in Washington to commemorate journalists across the country who lost their lives while doing their jobs.
More than 100 architects and designers have been approached by the Fallen Journalists Memorial Foundation about submitting designs for the monument, according to a foundation news release. The final design team will be announced in early 2024 and the memorial is expected to open to the public in 2028.
“We have taken another significant step toward making the memorial a reality,” said David Dreier, founder and chairman of the Fallen Journalists Memorial Foundation, in a statement.
Dreier, a former California representative and Tribune Publishing Company chairman, started the foundation on June 28, 2019, one year after the mass shooting inside the newsroom at The Capital that killed five employees – Gerald Fischman, Rob Hiaasen, John McNamara, Rebecca Smith and Wendi Winters. They were killed by a man who entered the newsroom with a shotgun and committed the deadliest assault against journalists in United States history. The Capital is owned by Baltimore Sun Media, a subsidiary of Tribune Publishing.
In the aftermath, Dreier set out to create a memorial for fallen journalists, spending the next four years obtaining federal approval.
In May, the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts gave final approval for the foundation to begin design plans for the first monument of its kind to be built on federal land.
In December 2020, Congress authorized the foundation to create a memorial. Two years later, it passed legislation allowing the foundation to use a space around the National Mall reserved for lasting, historic works for the memorial.
The parcel is a third of an acre between Independence Avenue, Maryland Avenue and 3rd Street SW. The memorial, which will be funded exclusively by donations to the foundation, is expected to cost up to $50 million.
In 2021, the foundation received $6 million in seed money from the Annenberg Foundation. At least 10% of the funding will go to the National Park Service for maintenance. Additional funds will be used to offer educational programming.

Do you need to be good at building objects in engineering besides math?
I'm a junior in high school that wants to major in engineering. I'm also taking classes to achieve my major. However, I wonder if you need to be good at constructing objects in engineering besides being good at math. #engineering #math
You have to take into consideration that math is a type of construction that takes place within your brain. So even if you are not that good at building things physically you will not have that much trouble learning because of this.
This happened to me at high school and now I am a Financial Engineer able to build things in my head and translate them into scripts/programs in python or R.
On a personal level, there's a large crossover between my area of physics and nuclear engineering - arguably I'm sometimes acting more as a nuclear engineer than nuclear physicist. In my role, much of the engineering is large scale stuff that engineers design and simulate and never need to physically touch themselves, but there are occasionally smaller things I need like a positioning stand for a radioactive calibration source, and it's much easier when I have the skills to go straight to the workshop and put something together myself rather than putting together requirements specifications and waiting for the workshop to build when I don't have the necessary skills to do it myself.
So you might say I was more into destroying things that buildings. The primary job of an engineer is to solve problems and find solution for them. As an example, when you see the picture not hanging straight on the wall. Does that bothers you? Do go investigate if the bracket/ nail is put-in straight in the wall or you just let it be. if you investigate, I call you an engineer.
On the other hand, if you think of devising solutions instead of observing behaviors or doing experiments ( which is the primary focus of natural sciences such as medicine), then you know you are inclined towards sciences as opposed to engineering.
This is my 2-cents. I hope that helps.

You may never think about what happens to your wastewater once it flushes away or goes down the drain; why would you? But if your septic system is not properly maintained and managed, then problems may arise (such as foul smells) for you that will force you to be aware of your wastewater habits. This is something we want to help you avoid. So we’re going to run you through some simple steps you can take and changes you can make around the house to avoid any septic tank problems.
Septic systems function by using good bacteria and soil to break down wastewater and eliminate any viruses or diseases from the water. This process happens before it enters public/private wastewater treatment plants and eventually supplies us with drinking water. There are certain factors that can put stress on your septic system, and eventually damage your system so then it no longer functions correctly.
All of these stresses are being enhanced during this Covid-19 induced home quarantine period we’re currently in. It’s even more important now to take extra care and be extra mindful of how to treat your septic system. The last thing you need in your home right now is a malfunctioning septic system so a little will surely go a long way.
What Could Be Causing This Extra Pressure On Your Septic System?
Currently, more time is being spent at home. In fact, all/most of your time is being spent at home, and your tank has all this extra work to handle that it’s not used to.
Before finding ourselves in this home quarantine, septic tanks got a break when parents were at work or kids at school. Now, everyone is home all the time, cleaning the house more, doing more laundry and washing more dishes from the many more meals had at home. We are also cleaning with harsh antibacterial chemicals because of the extra caution being taken with hygiene due to the nature of the coronavirus pandemic.
Covid-19 Septic Care Tips
We’re going to list off a few tips and ideas that could make all the difference and avoid any issues with your septic system and keep it in top shape.
Harsh Chemicals: Avoid Them
Cleaning products that contain a bunch of harsh chemicals are particularly toxic for your domestic septic tank. Products containing bleach, or straight bleach should be eluded at all costs. If you must use these, we’d advise using them scarcely and avoid flushing them down the drain or toilet. There are lots of ordinary, septic friendly products you can buy or make that you can use for cleaning, and they won’t mess with the bacteria balance in your septic system and cause unwanted damage.
Use Normal Soap
Many are using antibacterial soap at the moment, and it’s unnecessary because regular soap does the same thing and it won’t damage your septic system. So, use good ole’ fashioned standard soap to wash your hands.
Laundry & Dishes – Do Fewer Loads
Everyone is super concerned with washing clothes at the minute, due to being wary of the virus. If you leave the house for a walk and don’t come into contact with anyone or any public surfaces, your clothes should be fine and not need to be washed after every day. With more people in the house, ensure you gather the clothes and do one big load rather than a bunch of small loads. You are wasting water, and your detergent could be straining your septic system.
Same with washing dishes, just try and make the most out of your wash cycles.
Use liquid detergent & dishwashing liquid! Powder detergent s usually harsher on septic systems and can clog the drain field.
- Wipes (even flushable ones)
- Feminine hygiene products
- Paper towels (kitchen roll)
Don’t flush ANYTHING other than body waste and toilet paper.
Save water: Showers not baths
Save water with quick showers, not baths. Try and wash your hair less to avoid long showers. Also, try and stagger water usage, don’t take a shower at the same time as the laundry is on AND the dishwasher. This will put a strain on your wastewater system.
Explain it to your kids
Avoid the garbage disposal
If you have a garbage disposal, try and avoid using it especially now. Certain foods should never enter your septic system because they have bacteria that will not cooperate with the good bacteria in your tank and could cause bad smells and blockages.
If you come across any issues with your septic tank, feel free to contact us at Carlow Concrete Tanks.

When I walked up to this 1960 Nash Metropolitan, I immediately noticed the custom badge on the lower, right fender, “Vetrolpolitan”. Then, I looked in the engine bay, where this little '60s econobox was backing a big surprise. Joe Migliorisi of Natrona Heights, PA stuffed an LS6 into this little Nash. When I asked him what possessed you to do such a thing, Joe replied, “I’m a retired guy with way too much time on my hand, I guess.”
He found the car in Ohio with the intention of doing a full restoration, but upon seeing the condition of the rotted body and the pitted bright work, he then thought restomod.
Joe hand-build a custom frame that would allow it to accommodate the LS harvested from at 2002 Z06 that suffered a rear-end collision. It’s backed up by a Tremec 5-Speed Manual gearbox. “The six speed was too big and heavy and the shifter was sitting too far back,” Joe tells me, “it would have popped up in the middle of the bench seat.”
The build features a bevy of aftermarket parts perfect for a franken-build such as this: Ididit steering column, Mosier Axles, Strange Gear with a 3.50 ratio. It has 4-wheel discs and coil overs on each corner. The rear tires are, 245/60/15, so there’s plenty of meat to get the power to the pavement.
When I asked how much was cut out of the 9” rear end housing, Joe didn’t remember exactly. “Quite a bit”, was all he said. The drive shaft is only 18” from the transmission to the rear axle.
“I had been a 350 small block guy all my life, but I thought it was time to take a stab at building something with a computer in it. I liked the LS6 because it was all-aluminum and very light weight.”
The engine and the Z06 badge were all that came from the wrecked Corvette when the build started 7 years ago. It’s now in it’s 4th car show season.
At 2200 lbs, it’s very light and powerful but Joe claims it’s surprisingly easy to drive, “Just don’t get on it too hard.”

WASHINGTON—U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA) cosponsored the Vietnam Human Rights Sanctions Act, legislation promoting human rights in Vietnam and imposing sanctions and travel restrictions on Vietnamese nationals complicit in human rights abuses.
“The people of Vietnam deserve fair treatment from their government. If we are to continue forging a stronger relationship with Vietnam, we must know they will respect their citizens’ basic human rights,” said Senator Cassidy. “It is important we hold leadership in Vietnam accountable for their record of human rights abuses.”
This bill was introduced by U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) and is also cosponsored by U.S. Senators John Boozman (R-AR) and Marco Rubio (R-FL).

Amid Iraqi crisis, Chaldean Catholic Church begins synod
June 25, 2014
Chaldean Catholic bishops from around the world are meeting in Erbil, a town of 30,000 in northern Iraq, for a five-day synod.
The synod, which began on June 24, was originally scheduled to meet in Baghdad and discuss internal ecclesial issues such as appointments to vacant sees.
“Obviously the new situation in Iraq involves a change of program,” a spokesman for the Chaldean Catholic patriarchate told the Fides news agency. “The bishops will evaluate new emergencies that mark the condition of the Christian community and across the country.”
Headquartered in Baghdad, the Chaldean Catholic Church is an Eastern Catholic church in full communion with the Holy See. It has eparchies (dioceses) in nine nations, including the United States, and has an estimated 419,000 members.

In eukaryotic organisms chromatin is duplicated during cell division to ensure faithful transmission of both genetic and epigenetic information, maintaining in the daughter cells the memory of the chromatin status of their progenitors. The epigenetic inheritance during DNA replication is crucial to maintain cellular identity following cell division.
The role of Polycomb Repressive complexes (PRC1 and PRC2) is essential for the temporal regulation of gene repression involved in different developmental processes, but how these complexes may interact with the DNA replication machinery to contribute to the mitotic inheritance of cellular identity in the daughter cells remains unknown.
Researchers at CBGP have provided an attractive model for targeting of PRC2 complex to newly synthesized DNA for reestablishment of repressive epigenetic marks after dilution by replication, which has important implications in the understanding of epigenetic inheritance in eukaryotic organisms. They have taken advantage of viable PRC2 and DNA polymerase mutations in Arabidopsis to address the mechanism underlying the maintenance of the epigenetic states during replication. They have also presented sound evidence supporting a role for the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase ϵ in preserving high H3K27me3 levels at floral target loci. Using flowering time control as a subject, they have examined the function of the Pol ϵ in epigenetic transcriptional silencing and demonstrated the genetic and molecular interaction of this replication protein with PRC2.
Altogether, the data they have presented suggest the existence of interplay between the DNA replication machinery and the PcG complexes in the control of different plant developmental processes, including flowering time, through a mechanism involving epigenetic transcriptional gene silencing and might help to explain how these complexes preserve chromatin modification states during DNA replication.

California Governor Gavin Newsom said Tuesday that as long as the Golden State meets two specific criteria, California will fully reopen its economy on June 15. The state must keep the reports.supply sufficient for everyone 16 and older who wishes to be inoculated and keep hospitalization stable and low, CBS Sacramento
The Democratic governor also said there were no plans to lift the mask mandate at this time.
In a statement, Newsom said it was "time to turn the page" to the next step afterwith more than 20 million vaccines already administered in California.
"Everyday activities will be allowed and businesses can open with common-sense risk reduction measures," the governor's office said in a statement.
"We can now begin planning for our lives post-pandemic," Newsom said in the statement. "We will need to remain vigilant, and continue the practices that got us here — wearing masks and getting vaccinated — but the light at the end of this tunnel has never been brighter."
If and when California fully reopens, the state's color-coded Blueprint for a Safer Economy will come to an end.
State officials say they will continue to monitor hospitalization rates, vaccine access and the vaccines' efficacy against COVID-19.
The California Chamber of Commerce applauded Newsom's announcement about fully reopening.
"The diligent efforts of all Californians to follow COVID-19 safety protocols will pay off on June 15th. Californians should be congratulated for their sacrifices and patience in working to protect public health," Allen Zaremberg, the chamber's CEO, said in a statement.
Health leaders stress that people need to continue to take steps to stop the spread.
"In order to take the next step, we must continue to do our part to keep this momentum moving in the right direction, and that means continuing to wear a mask and ensuring everyone who is eligible gets the vaccine," California's Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly said in a statement.
California plans on opening up vaccine eligibility to everyone 16 and older starting April 15.

The legal advisor, Attorney Obaid Ahmed Al-Ayyafi, stressed that the punishment for a drug dealer varies between thickening or mitigating according to factors considered by the judge, the most important of which is the size of the substance, or its lack, and the extent of its impact and danger, in addition to the precedents in promoting drugs to the accused.

The punishment must be severe and appropriate to the seriousness of this crime. The punishment should be commensurate with the type of crime. He explained that the penalties for drug dealers, in the absence of previous criminal records, are up to 5 years, flogging, travel bans, and the confiscation of the means used in the promotion, such as a car, mobile phone, SIM card, or information. While the penalty is harsher in the event that there are precedents for the promoter.
And he indicated that the anti-drug system works to impose deterrent penalties to prevent the spread of drugs, and to prevent their sale and purchase, even their import, export, or even their passage through the lands or airspace of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Al-Ayafi, the lawyer, confirmed that the legislator worked to tighten the drug dealer’s sentence for the first time. This is in his endeavor to deter and prevent the promoter from committing the crime of drug trafficking, to make the country free from the scourge of drugs, to protect Saudi society from all its harms, and to create a strong and healthy generation. According to Articles (37) and (38) of the Law on Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances, the sentence for drug dealers for the first time in Saudi Arabia is imprisonment for a period of up to 15 years. In the event that the promoter repeats the act of promotion, the penalty will be severe and may reach murder, and in the event that the promoter is a public employee or an anti-drug agent, then his penalty will be severe and may reach 25 years in prison. In some cases, the punishment for promotion may reach death in certain circumstances.

Jennifer Coolidge’s curvaceous body has always been magnet for many eyes. Fact that she is getting older couldn’t reduce her sexiness. If her fans adore her for having that voluptuous shape, then they are lucky as she still has that. But significant changes occur on her face. Jennifer Coolidge plastic surgery reports are mainly targeting some of her face parts. What has she had?
56-years-old actress who gained fame after appearance in American Pie and 2 Broke Girls is linked with some cosmetic surgery procedures. While it is bit hard to believe that she has breast implants, it is easier to say that she has undergone facelift, Botox and lips injection.
Jennifer Coolidge Facelift & Botox
Her Before-After picture draws big differences on her face. She can’t hide her recent unusual facial expression. Like many other Hollywood celebrities, it seems that Jennifer is also not aging naturally. Instead of embracing wrinkles and aging lines, she opts plastic surgery to fight them.
But she looks like a wax figure. It is due to unnatural tight skin on her face. This condition suggests that she has undergone excessive facelift. What do you think about her stiff face? Does it disturb you?
Facelift is certainly not the only procedure that is responsible for her unnatural face look. Botox also has role in making her frozen face. It is clear that her doctor has injected high dose Botox. Not only erases wrinkles, crow’s feet and other aging lines, overdone Botox injection also freezes her face.
If you think she is not as pretty as she was before, you can blame her plastic surgeon for performing the procedures too far. Excessive works change Coolidge’s face in a bad way.
Jennifer Coolidge Lips Injection
Injection was not only performed to rejuvenate her face skin. Her lips also need enhancement via doctor’s needle. Not Botox of course, but injectable lip filler. Actually, we can’t decide whether she gets the benefit or not. Sometimes her lips look so sexy but we can easily find her photos where she appears with swollen lips. And she looks bad. What do you think of her changing lips?
Regardless her lip filler dosage we would all agree that her previous, injection-free lips were better. If only she was not interested in plastic surgery, she would have better natural face. You can drop your thought about her cosmetic surgery below.

Did you know that more than 28 million Americans develop musculoskeletal problems each year? What’s more, it is estimated that as many as 126.6 million Americans (one in two adults) are affected by a musculoskeletal condition according to a report by the U.S. Bone and Joint Initiative.
No matter how well you take care of yourself and how healthy you are, sooner or later you are likely to experience aches and pains in your muscles and joints. It might be the result of an injury, overuse of certain muscles, or even poor posture. Often, the pain will subside after a few days of rest, medication, or hot and cold compress use. So, what if it doesn’t simply go away or gets worse, becoming a chronic condition that occasionally flares up?
At the first sign of a medical problem, you’re likely to consult with your primary care physician (PCP). That’s understandable since your PCP serves as your first point of contact when it comes to healthcare and is a professional trained in internal medicine. Also, your PCP provides preventative care and long-term health maintenance and is capable of diagnosing symptoms of unknown origin.
However, while your primary care provider is familiar with the broader scope of your health, they may not have the expertise to treat certain conditions. For example, your primary care physician can only do so much for chronic pain related to your ankles, knees, hips shoulder, back, or any other joint or muscle. Consequently, if you are experiencing a health issue or injury that requires specialized care, your PCP will refer you to an orthopedic specialist.
However, if it’s a prompt, effective treatment that you’re looking for, you can save yourself time and money by going directly to an orthopedist.
What An Orthopedic Doctor Can Do For You
As an expert in injuries and diseases affecting the musculoskeletal system (bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage), an orthopedic doctor has the specialized training and experience it takes to diagnose, treat, and prevent issues such as:
- Overuse injuries
- Strains and sprains
- Degenerative conditions
- Much more
An orthopedic doctor can address any problem ranging from a simple sprained ankle to a complex surgical procedure like a total hip or shoulder replacement. They can help relieve and manage your condition, reduce pain and instability, and improve your range of motion and strength.
Most of the time, an orthopedic doctor will provide noninvasive treatments in the form of prescribing medication and/or physical therapy before recommending surgery. If these conservative measures fail to relieve your symptoms, a qualified orthopedic doctor can perform minimally invasive or more complex procedures such as injection therapy, arthroscopic surgery, and ankle, knee, hip, or shoulder replacement.
If you are experiencing symptoms indicating a musculoskeletal injury or chronic condition, consult with an orthopedic specialist to get diagnosed and treated by an expert. Here are some signs that you need to see an orthopedic doctor:
- You have a soft tissue injury that does not improve within 48 hours.
- You have persistent pain in your muscles, tendons, or joints lasting more than a few days.
- You have chronic pain in your joints and bones, particularly in your neck, knee, elbows, and/or back.
- There’s stiffness and a reduction in the range of motion in your joints.
- You have difficulty performing everyday tasks, such as climbing a flight of stairs or lifting or carrying relatively light items.
- You have joint pain that intensifies during rest periods.
- You have swelling or bruising around an injury location or a specific joint.
- You have signs of an infection, which may include fever, heat, inflammation, or redness around the affected area.
- You have signs of joint deformity.
It is important to see an orthopedic doctor at the onset of these symptoms, as early treatment can prevent the condition from worsening. An orthopedic doctor can quickly diagnose the problem, identify its cause, and inform you of your treatment options. They can also provide vital information and advice on pain management options.
What to Expect at Your Orthopedic Appointment
If you have never visited an orthopedic specialist before, here’s what you can expect during your first visit:
- As with any first-time medical appointment, you will need to complete paperwork (if you have not done so online before your visit) about your symptoms, medical history, and insurance. If necessary, your primary care physician can provide documentation of any past conditions and treatments.
- The orthopedist will review your medical history and get to know you as a patient before examining the area(s) that are causing pain or discomfort. The examination may involve tests of your limb strength and range of motion.
- If the cause of your painful problem cannot be determined through the initial physical exam, the orthopedist may order additional tests such as X-rays or an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) for a better assessment of your condition.
- Once the problem has been diagnosed, your orthopedic doctor can work with you to formulate an effective treatment plan. Many orthopedic injuries can be addressed with non-invasive measures such as oral or injectable medication, at-home exercise, and/or physical therapy depending on the severity of your condition. In any event, your orthopedic specialist will create a treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs, including plans for surgical treatment if it is necessary.

Alzheimer’s and Other Dementias
It’s incredibly difficult to trust others with the care and safety of your loved one, especially when they have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or other dementias. Nursing home staff members are trained to take certain precautions to ensure the comfort and safety of these patients. Unfortunately, certain malicious staff members take advantage of Alzheimer’s or dementia patients, assuming that they may not realize or remember that anything happened.
Nursing home abuse happens every day in Champaign and can cause severe emotional and financial stress for the nursing home resident and family members. If you have been affected by nursing home abuse in Champaign, a personal injury lawyer at Spiros Law, P.C., can help you file a claim to pursue justice and rightful compensation for any related damages or expenses.
Nursing Home Abuse of Patients with Alzheimer’s or Dementia
Unfortunately, nursing home residents who have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia are very vulnerable to nursing home abuse. Staff members, taking advantage of a patient’s condition, may commit any of the following acts:
- Theft or financial fraud
- Sexual or physical abuse
- Verbal harassment
- Failure to provide proper care
Often, these abusive behaviors are performed under the assumption that Alzheimer’s or dementia patients will not realize that they are being taken advantage of, however, any form of abuse can severely damage the patient emotionally and result in financial repercussions for the family. If your loved one has dealt with nursing home abuse in Champaign, a Champaign personal injury lawyer can help you hold the responsible parties liable.
Memory Loss and Nursing Home Abuse
For many families, taking care of a loved one with Alzheimer’s or dementia proves too difficult to do without help. Many people make the difficult decision to place their loved one in a nursing home so they can be cared for by more capable hands and have constant attention for their specific needs. When families trust their loved ones to these facilities, they reasonably expect the workers and caretakers to keep their loved one safe. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Far too often, the people meant to protect residents instead abuse the patients in these facilities. Alzheimer’s and dementia patients are at a considerably higher risk of abuse than other patients are. Symptoms of their disease that abusers take advantage of include:
- Patient’s inability to discuss or express their feelings: Many patients with these diseases are unable to discuss or express their feelings, meaning they are often unable to communicate instances of their abuse. This inability allows abusers to continue taking advantage of patients without fear they will come forward or incriminate them.
- Memory loss: Memory loss is one of the main symptoms of these diseases. Patients may not be able to remember instances of their abuse. Even if they do, abusers may be able to manipulate them into believing it did not happen or convince others that what they remember is false because of their illness.
- Difficulty recognizing people and places: Another symptom is the difficulty that patients have recognizing people and places, which can make it difficult or impossible to identify their abuser or give specifics about the abuse they have endured. This difficulty allows abusers to continue taking advantage of people without fear of retaliation, because the patient is unable to identify their abuser.
If you suspect that a loved one with Alzheimer’s or dementia is suffering abuse in their nursing home, there is legal help for your situation. We will fight to stop the abuse and help you obtain compensation for the crimes committed against your family member. No one should have to worry that their loved one is being abused in a facility meant to care for them. People responsible for abuse should be brought to justice for their crimes.

At Spiros Law, P.C., our lawyers are experienced in handling cases of nursing home abuse in Champaign, and we can help you successfully file a claim to pursue justice and compensation for your suffering. Call our offices today at (217) 328-2828.

Videos are a powerful tool to cut through all the marketing noise and resonate with your audience. New ways to leverage them are being devised constantly, and it’s important that we, as marketers, stay up to date.
So with that in mind, June’s Group Chat focused on the topic of videos. Hearing from three marketers who have been especially successful by including videos in their marketing efforts, all in attendance walked away with a treasure trove of creative ideas to put into practice back at the office.
This month, our panelists were:
Now let’s see how videos have put their campaigns in motion.
Why Include Videos in Your Marketing Strategy?
There is an authenticity that comes from being seen on video. Clients and prospects see you as real people. Body language, speech, and facial expressions help break down barriers and let your prospects feel as if they know you and can trust you.
Videos don’t have to be elaborate productions. Sometimes, the simple cell phone video – the “man on the street” approach – can give your social engagement a real boost and show that your presenters are genuine.
Video Content Strategy
Without a firm plan in place, breaking into a new medium like videos is all the more daunting. We all tend to procrastinate; not having a plan is planning to put marketing with videos off indefinitely.
Best advice? Start small. Instead of making an 8 to 10-minute demo video, try breaking it down into several short ones. Each video could deal with just one product feature. Shorter videos are easier to reuse and are more easily consumed by busy people. If not product demos, you could do interviews, “talking head” videos, or professionally explain a topic.
When planning a video project, think about these three key areas:
What do you want to pay for? (This is your big spend, with planning, storyboarding, etc.)
What do you own? (That is, what you can produce?)
What have you earned? (For example, a video spot that could be cut up and used.)
Then plan how you can get maximum use out of your investment. Cut them up and use them on social media to drive traffic to your website. Open a YouTube channel. And be sure your salespeople have access to the demo videos especially.
Budgeting the Time and the Money
You don’t have to go all out in video production. There are reasonably priced options for video editing software and equipment. But when you invest the funds, understand you’re also committing your time. It will take time to learn and become skillful at the process, especially if you’re working remotely. Start small – you can record some great videos with a quality smartphone.
There’s also a balance between producing the videos in-house and outsourcing them. That decision is influenced not just by the funds available but also by the timeframe for your project. The professionals can get it done in a more compressed timeline, but outsourcing is not cheap.
Still, in-house production has its costs. After starting with a smartphone, you might take advantage of someone’s DSLR camera, a tripod, Adobe software, eventually a professional camera, and a quality microphone (boom or lapel.) But it’s an expense spread out over time, as you grow into it.
Since the start of the COVID pandemic, the budget landscape has changed. Yes, it’s still in the $1000s to produce a video, but not $10,000+ as it was in the past. Quality expectations have lowered considerably. That doesn’t mean the video is bad, but it means a Microsoft Teams recording can be an acceptable video for marketing.
The end of the matter is this: Your customer is most concerned about the story, not the resolution or the equipment you used to produce it. They want to know if you can answer their questions, help them with their pains, and deliver what they need. Create compelling content, make judicious use of the funds you have available, and you’ll be fine.
What to Consider Before Rolling Camera
Planning for the budget is important, and planning your content is equally essential. Your go-to resource is the Sales department. What do they need to send to prospects? They’re not going to send a 45-minute tutorial; rather, they can get maximum use out of short demos. Make one for each product you sell. Have a heart-to-heart conversation with your Sales team leader and find out what’s currently resonating with your customers, then make a list of top stories.
Another hot topic: Customer Testimonials. While case studies are effective and easy to prepare for, a written customer experience just doesn’t have the same power as a live video. Once you have a client willing to record, you need to prepare them well.
Storyboarding is an essential part of the process. Step #1 is always defining the main objective of the video. What is the topic? What are we trying to fulfill with this piece? Then be very specific, outlining what will be said, what shots are included, and details of what animations are included. The person editing and producing the video will follow the storyboard to bring it all together for a polished finished product.
That doesn’t mean you keep a tight rein on everything said. Scripting the dialog can cause the video to lose its authenticity. Try to narrow it down to a list of bullet points, but let the participants use their own words. Keep it real.
Repurpose Your Existing Content in a Video
Take advantage of the labor you’ve invested in existing quality content by making it into a video! Here are a few ideas:
Blogs. These days, people have strong personal preferences for consuming content. Some like to read, but many today prefer to watch informational videos. For example, if you have a how-to blog article, you can use that information to create a tutorial video. You can choose to use screenshots with voiceover explanation, or you could have a subject matter expert record his screen while guiding us through each step of the task. Then it could be embedded in the blog article, giving your visitors a choice of how to consume the content.
Podcasts or Thought Leadership Pieces. This sort of content can be lengthy, which makes them great candidates for an introductory video, like a movie trailer, to whet the appetite of your site visitors. Then you can include a call to action inviting viewers to read the article.
Product Introductions. Leverage your website content by taking your product pages and summarizing them in introductory videos, 30 to 60 seconds, like commercials. Embed them at the top of the page, and after viewing, visitors will be more motivated to continue reading further down the page. You could even feature longer, more comprehensive product videos at the end of the page.
How Long Should These Videos Be?
The length of a video should be determined by where it will be used. It could be 30 to 60 seconds for a social media platform, driving traffic to the longer version hosted on your website. And especially on these short videos should you get to the point. Eliminate personal introductions and focus on the content.
Programmatic digital ads: Very short at just 11 seconds. Informational videos: 3 minutes.
Even webinars are losing popularity. They can be a huge time sink, taking countless hours to produce. And in this increasingly fast-paced business landscape, fewer decision-makers have the time to watch them anymore.
The fact is this: People are impatient. It’s not that you won’t get traffic, but after 3 minutes people can begin to lose interest, or even bypass the video altogether because they’re busy.
Tools to Get the Job Done
There are a plethora of video software options. Filmora is a great tool that helps you with pre-defined transitions, styles, and music, saving you the time it would take to do everything from scratch.
Another useful technique is to record a demo (with screen shares) in Microsoft Teams. Go through and edit where needed to make it more presentable and attractive, and you’ve just produced a video with minimal effort.
Apple (iMovie and Final Cut Pro) and Adobe have first-class video editing tools. For demos, it was also suggested to try Screen Recorder Pro and Flashback to record demos, then eliminate the audio and do a voiceover for a more professional look.
Finally, Camtasia started as a screen capture utility and has evolved to be a full-blown video marketing tool. It makes it easy to create presentations, and they’re always adding new features for marketers.
Other tools mentioned in the chat:
Rev.com – Transcription for subtitles
PowToon - cartoon videos
YouTube Optimization Tips
It’s important to get your content on YouTube. Don’t hesitate, waiting for the perfect moment or the perfect circumstances – Just get it up there! And be sure to select the publish date so that it becomes available right when you want it to.
People want to zero in on the part that answers their most pressing questions. Putting in chapter markers, as well as posting the timestamps in the video description, are good ways to feed that need.
Don’t forget – YouTube isn’t primarily a social media platform; it’s perhaps the world’s most popular search engine. Treat it accordingly. Apply SEO techniques, backlinks, etc. Leverage all its features: Publish date, timestamps, tags, description – make each posting as complete as possible for full effect.
Since it’s such a powerful and well-used search engine, if you’re not posting your videos to YouTube, you’re missing out on major exposure.
Video Pet Peeves
So far, we’ve been talking about what you should do in creating videos. Here are a few quick no-no’s:
Stop gating videos. If the person must register to see the video, it reduces the likelihood of them watching it. Some even intentionally avoid them. They’ll simply go to the next video listed on Google.
Technical difficulties. While we’ve mentioned the video doesn’t have to be perfect, it does need to be balanced with professionalism. Take the time to record it again, if possible, when problems arise.
For example, when Lindy received a video on a rushed project, she realized the audio was of poor quality. Not having time to send it back, she quickly had it transcribed, then pulled out a microphone and recorded a high-quality voiceover for the video from the transcript, finishing the video just in time for the upcoming event.
An unclear message. Since videos take time and money to produce (especially if you’re outsourcing a project), you need to take the time up front to clearly define your message, story, or pitch – whatever your main objective is. Don’t describe your product or service in terms of someone or something else. That can leave a viewer confused. Instead, be focused on your dialog. Own it.
Current Video Trends
Video is not going away. Make it a core part of your marketing strategy. Realize that shorter is better. While you want to be authentic, remember it’s not all about you. The viewer isn’t watching the video to learn about you or your company; you need to tell them how you’re going to help them, and as succinctly as possible.
Videos are being more frequently used in the sales cycle; prepare more short videos with the sales team in mind. Don’t fill them with dry, boring content – make them fun! You don’t always have to be in a suit and tie; you can even be comical at times, in good taste.
Video makes for powerful marketing; put these tips into practice to take your campaigns to the next level. We’re appreciative of everything our experts Lindy, Melissa, and Troy shared with us during the June Group Chat, and we’re looking forward to seeing all the videos you’ll create in the near future.
We’ll be back in September with another great topic. Stay tuned!

Congratulations to Chapel Haven community member for a fantastic write-up in the New Haven Register about his unique shoe designs.
You can read the story here:
John is a graduate of Chapel Haven’s REACH program who lives in his own apartment now and still receives services with Chapel Haven. Along with working at IKEA, John pursues his art and is also training to be a voice-over actor.
His first shoe piece — Vincent Van Gogh’s “Starry Night,” was painted on a pair of Tom’s brand canvas shoes for his support coordinator, Amanda Altieri, who was going to Amsterdam and wanted a custom pair of shoes when visiting the Vincent Van Gogh Museum. She got many compliments and the shoe orders have been taking off ever since!
Anyone who wants to order a pair of John Murphy originals can contact Altieri at firstname.lastname@example.org. Customers provide the shoes and Murphy will paint them for $50.
Congrats, John, we are so proud of you!
