Lawmakers Consider Changes to Maine’s Clean Election Law
Wednesday, June 7, 2023
Lawmakers in Maine are considering legislation to allow candidates seeking county level offices to receive taxpayer funds under the Maine Clean Election Act.
The landmark 1996 law was the first in the nation to create a voluntary program of full public financing for gubernatorial, state senate and state representative campaigns.
Anna Keller, executive director of Maine Citizens for Clean Elections, said the bill is needed as outside spending on county level candidates is increasing, especially for sheriff races.
"It's especially important that people can trust that those officials are not biased and are not going to be partial to donors," Keller asserted.
The bill has drawn both bipartisan support and criticism with some lawmakers saying the tax dollars would be unevenly distributed to counties. Keller argued while the bill is not a perfect solution it helps to better ensure elections are determined by voters and not donors.
While some lawmakers are hoping to expand Maine's Clean Election Act, others are working to amend it by repealing a ban on corporate contributions. Critics of the ban say it does not go far enough and money can still flow to political parties and their political action committees. Keller recommended rather than repeal the ban, lawmakers should work to strengthen it.
"It's really upsetting to see after years of Maine being a leader on campaign finance reform that we might actually move backwards this session," Keller stated.
Corporate donations were the largest source of spending in Maine's 2020 election cycle, including some from foreign-owned companies. Federal law and 22 other states prohibit corporate contributions to candidates.
Support for this reporting was provided by The Carnegie Corporation of New York.

The triceps, or triceps brachii is a large muscle in the back of the upper arm and is the largest arm muscle. It has three sections to it, long head, medial head and lateral head.
Essentially an extensor muscle of the elbow joint, it also works to balance out the actions of the biceps and brachialis muscles. It stabilizes the elbow joint when the forearm and hand are used for finer movements such as writing.
The long head of the triceps is the power portion of the muscle and can deliver high-intensity force. The long head originates from the scapula, so the triceps muscle acts on and helps to stabilize shoulder motion at the top of the humerus.
The triceps is often ignored with arm movement, such as lifting. This leaves this type of activity the responsibility of the biceps muscle. Weakness in the triceps muscles is contributory to many shoulder injuries. Weakness in triceps with a combination of not using a back corrector can cause some serious posture issues. Now are posture correctors good for you? In our experience they're absolutely necessary for day to day life, and that's mainly due to the fact that most people's mood is correlated with their posture, plus these devices teach you how to realign your spine.

Concerns and solutions – reliability in large-wafer modules
Back in 2019, few could have predicted the speed at which large wafer formats would come to dominate the market. Module manufacturers have quickly adopted cells in various formats larger than 166mm, and these are now headed out to the field.
These module innovations promise advantages in terms of energy yield and project costs, but as with any new technology – the introduction brings new concerns regarding performance and reliability, both within the module itself and at system level. And the industry is hard at work addressing these concerns.
In this pv magazine Webinar, we’ll hear more about the concerns raised by the latest generation of module technology, from the risk of cell cracking to the multiple challenges posed by higher currents. Mohammed Saady, Technical Services Manager for the Middle East region at JinkoSolar will take us through the optimizations made by Jinko to address these concerns and ensure the long-term reliability of its Tiger Pro module series, and offer some case studies from installations to demonstrate their effectiveness.
Testing, both in the laboratory and in the field, is key to ensuring long-term reliability. U.S. based Renewable Energy Test Center (RETC) has put together a sequence it calls the Thresher Test, designed to put PV modules through their paces. Daniel Chang, VP of Business Development at RETC will be on hand to take us through the parameters of this test, and how Jinko’s Tiger modules have performed, as well as how the test addresses different bill-of-materials combinations.
pv magazine Webinar content
- Technology concerns for an accelerated shift to high power modules
- Ensuring reliability through product optimizations
- Case studies
- Long term performance and the Thresher test
- Bill of materials variations
Questions can be submitted beforehand or during the webinar through a chat window. Mark Hutchins from pv magazine will be the moderator of this webinar.

Many patients experience the pain and discomfort an ingrown toenail can cause. Ingrown toenails happen as a result of the outer edges of the nail growing into the skin. The symptoms that are often associated with this ailment can include swelling, redness, and in severe cases, there may be a discharge that oozes from the edge of the nail. This condition can be caused by wearing shoes that do not have have enough room for the toes to move freely in, in addition to trimming toenails too short or incorrectly. Patients may find relief when the affected toe is soaked in warm water, followed by inserting a small piece of cotton under the edge. This may help to gradually lift the nail away from the nail bed. If you have an ingrown toenail, it is suggested that you consult with a podiatrist who can offer you correct treatment options, which may include surgically removing a portion of the nail.
Ingrown toenails may initially present themselves as a minor discomfort, but they may progress into an infection in the skin without proper treatment. For more information about ingrown toenails, contact one of our podiatrists of Instride Queen City Foot & Ankle Specialists. Our doctors can provide the care you need to keep you pain-free and on your feet.
Ingrown toenails are caused when the corner or side of a toenail grows into the soft flesh surrounding it. They often result in redness, swelling, pain, and in some cases, infection. This condition typically affects the big toe and may recur if it is not treated properly.
- Improper toenail trimming
- Improper shoe fitting
- Injury from pedicures or nail picking
- Abnormal gait
- Poor hygiene
You are more likely to develop an ingrown toenail if you are obese, have diabetes, arthritis, or have any fungal infection in your nails. Additionally, people who have foot or toe deformities are at a higher risk of developing an ingrown toenail.
Some symptoms of ingrown toenails are redness, swelling, and pain. In rare cases, there may be a yellowish drainage coming from the nail.
Ignoring an ingrown toenail can have serious complications. Infections of the nail border can progress to a deeper soft-tissue infection, which can then turn into a bone infection. You should always speak with your podiatrist if you suspect you have an ingrown toenail, especially if you have diabetes or poor circulation.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our office located in Charlotte, NC. We offer the newest diagnostic and treatment technologies for all your foot care needs.

Why an R Tutorial on Reading and Importing Excel Files into R is necessary
As most of you know, Excel is a spreadsheet application developed by Microsoft. It is an easy accessible tool for organizing, analyzing and storing data in tables and has a widespread use in many different application fields all over the world. It doesn’t need to surprise that R has implemented some ways to read, write and manipulate Excel files (and spreadsheets in general).
This tutorial on reading and importing Excel files into R will give an overview of some of the options that exist to import Excel files and spreadsheets of different extensions to R. Both basic commands in R and dedicated packages are covered. At the same time, some of the most common problems that you can face when loading Excel files and spreadsheets into R will be addressed. Want more R tutorials? Check out DataCamp!
(Spotted a mistake? Send a note to [email protected].)
Step One. Your Data
What this tutorial eventually comes down to is data: you want to import it fast and easily to R. As a first step, it is therefore a good idea to have a data set on your personal computer. There are basically two options to do this: either you have a dataset of your own or you download one from the Internet.
The following blog post, written by Joseph Rickert of Revolution Analytics, can be a useful help when you’re not sure where to find data on the Internet. Another option is Quandl, a search engine for numerical data. It offers millions of free and open financial, economic, and social datasets and might prove to be an easier option, especially for beginners who are not yet familiar with the field of data analysis. You can check out and use Quandl here.
Tip if you are a beginning R programmer, you can go through our tutorial, which not only explains how to import and manipulate Quandl data sets, but also provides you with exercises to slowly submerge you into Quandl.
Step Two. Prepping Your Data Set
Before you start thinking about how to load your Excel files and spreadsheets into R, you need to first make sure that your data is well prepared to be imported. If you would neglect to do this, you might experience problems when using the R functions that will be described in Step Three. Here’s a list of some best practices to help you to avoid any issues with reading your Excel files and spreadsheets into R:
- The first row of the spreadsheet is usually reserved for the header, while the first column is used to identify the sampling unit;
- Avoid names, values or fields with blank spaces, otherwise each word will be interpreted as a separate variable, resulting in errors that are related to the number of elements per line in your data set;
- If you want to concatenate words, do this by inserting a
.. For example:
- Short names are prefered over longer names;
- Try to avoid using names that contain symbols such as
- Delete any comments that you have made in your Excel file to avoid extra columns or NA’s to be added to your file; and
- Make sure that any missing values in your data set are indicated with
Saving Your Data
Make sure that your data is saved. This allows you to revisit the data later to edit, to add more data or to changing them, preserving the formulas that you maybe used to calculate the data, etc.
For example, Microsoft Excel offers many options to save your file: besides the default extension
.xlsx, you can go to the File tab, click on “Save As” and select one of the extensions that are listed as the “Save as Type” options. The most common extensions to save datasets are
.txt(as tab-delimited text file). Depending on the saving option that you choose, your data set’s fields are separated by tabs or commas. These symbols are then called the “field separator characters” of your data set.
Step Three. Preparatory Work In R
Once you have your spreadsheet saved, you still need to set your working directory in R. To do this, try to find out first where your working directory is set at this moment:
Then, it could be that you want to change the path that is returned in such a way that it includes the folder where you have stored your dataset:
setwd("<location of your dataset>")
By executing this command, R now knows exactly in which folder you’re working.
Step Four. Loading your Spreadsheets And Files Into R
After saving your data set and adjusting your workspace, you can finally start importing your file into R! This can happen in two ways: either through basic R commands or through packages.
Basic R Commands
The following commands are all part of R’s Utils package, which is one of the core and built-in packages that contains a collection of utility functions. You will see that these basic functions focus on getting spreadsheets into R, rather than the Excel files themselves. If you are more interested in the latter, scroll just a bit further down to discover the packages that are specifically designed for this purpose.
As described in Step Two, one option for saving your data sets is the tab-delimited text file or
*.txt file. If your data is saved as such, you can use one of the easiest and most general options to import your file to R: the
df <- read.table("<FileName>.txt", header = TRUE)
You fill in the first argument of the
read.table() function with the name of your text file in between
"" and its extension, while you specify in the second argument
header if your text file has names in the first line or top row. The
TRUE value for the
header argument is the default.
Remember that by executing
setwd() R knows in which folder you’re working. This means that you can just write the file’s name as an argument of the
read.table() function without specifying the file’s location.
Note that the field separator character for this function is set to
"" or white space because it is meant to work for tab-delimited
.txt files, which separate fields based on tabs. Indeed, white spaces here indicate not only one or more spaces, but also tabs, newlines or carriage returns. If your file uses another symbol to separate the fields of your data set, indicate this by adding the
sep argument to the
df <- read.table("<FileName>.txt", header = FALSE, sep="/", strip.white = TRUE, na.strings = "EMPTY")
strip.white argument allows you to indicate whether you want the white spaces from unquoted character fields stripped. It is only used when
sep has been specified and only takes on a logical value. The
na.strings indicates which strings should be interpreted as NA values. In this case, the string “EMPTY” is to be interpreted as an NA value.
For example, you might use the function from above on a data set that looks like the following:
// Contents of .txt 1/6/12:01:03/0.50/WORST 2/16/07:42:51/0.32/ BEST 3/19/12:01:29/0.50/"EMPTY" 4/13/03:22:50/0.14/INTERMEDIATE 5/8/09:30:03/0.40/WORST
Which would result in:
V1 V2 V3 V4 V5 1 6 12:01:03 0.50 WORST 2 16 07:42:51 0.32 BEST 3 19 12:01:29 0.50 <NA> 4 13 03:22:50 0.14 INTERMEDIATE 5 8 09:30:03 0.40 WORST
You see the extra white space before the class BEST in the second row has been removed, that the columns are perfectly separated thanks to the denomination of the
sep argument and that the empty value, denoted with “EMPTY” in row three was replaced with NA. The decimal point did not cause any problems, since “.” is the default for
read.table(). Lastly, since your data set did not have a header, R has provided some attributes for it, namely “V1”, “V2”, “V3”, “V4” and “V5”.
Special Cases of read.table()
The following options are special cases of the versatile
read.table() function. This means that any arguments that are used in this function can be applied in all the functions that are described in this section, and vice versa.
The variants are almost identical to
read.table() and differ from it in three aspects only:
- The separator symbol;
- The header argument is always set at
TRUE, which indicates that the first line of the file being read contains the header with the variable names;
fillargument is also set as
TRUE, which means that if rows have unequal length, blank fields will be added implicitly.
Tip for a full overview of all possible arguments that can be used in all four functions, visit the Rdocumentation page.
read.csv() and read.csv2()
read.csv2() functions are frequently used to read spreadsheets saved with the extension
.csv or Comma Separated Values. As described before,
read.csv2() have another separator symbol: for the former this is a comma, whereas the latter uses a semicolon. Remember that both functions have the
fill arguments set as
TRUE by default.
Tip find out what separator symbol is used in your
.csv file by opening it in a text editor
For example, this data set
// Contents of .csv 1;6;12:01:03;0,50;WORST 2;16;07:42:51;0,32;BEST 3;19;12:01:29;0,50;BEST 4;13;03:22:50;0,14;INTERMEDIATE 5;8;09:30:03;0,40; WORST
as well as this one are
// Contents of .csv 1,6,12:01:03,0.50,WORST 2,16,07:42:51,0.32,BEST 3,19,12:01:29,0.50,BEST 4,13,03:22:50,0.14,INTERMEDIATE 5,8,09:30:03,0.40,WORST
.csv files that use a comma as separator symbol, you can use the
read.csv() function. like this:
df <- read.csv("<name and extension of your file>", header = TRUE, quote=""", stringsAsFactors= TRUE, strip.white = TRUE)
Note that the
quote argument denotes whether your file uses a certain symbol as quotes: in the command above, you pass
" or the ASCII quotation mark (“) to the
quote argument to make sure that R takes into account the symbol that is used to quote characters.
This is especially handy for data sets that have values that look like the ones that appear in the fifth column of this example data set. You can clearly see that the double quotation mark has been used to quote the character values of the CLASS variable:
// Contents of .csv ID,SCORE,TIME,DECIMAL TIME,CLASS 1,6,12:01:03,0.50,"WORST" 2,16,07:42:51,0.32,"BEST" 3,19,12:01:29,0.50,"BEST" 4,13,03:22:50,0.14,"INTERMEDIATE" 5,8,09:30:03,0.40,"WORST"
stringsAsFactors argument allows you to specify whether strings should be converted to factors. The default value is set to
FALSE. Remember that you don’t have to type the file’s location if you have specified your working directory in R.
For files where fields are separated by a semicolon, you use the
df <- read.csv2("<name and extension of your file>", header = FALSE, quote = """, dec = ",", row.names = c("M", "N", "O", "P", "Q"), col.names= c("X", "Y", "Z", "A","B"), fill = TRUE, strip.white = TRUE, stringsAsFactors=TRUE)
Note that the
dec argument allows you to specify the character for the decimal mark. Make sure to specify this for your file if necessary, otherwise your values will be interpreted as separate categorical variables!
col.names argument, completed with the
c() function that concatenates column names in a vector, specifies the column names in the first row. This can be handy to use if your file doesn’t have a header line, R will use the default variable names V1, V2, …, etc.
col.names can override this default and assign variable names. Similarly, the argument
row.names specifies the observation names in the first column of your data set.
The command above would perfectly import the following data set:
// Contents of .csv 1;6;12:01:03;0,50;"WORST" 2;16;07:42:51;0,32;"BEST" 3;19;12:01:29;0,50 4;13;03:22:50;0,14; INTERMEDIATE 5;8;09:30:03;0,40;"WORST"
And it would result in the following data frame:
X Y Z A B M 1 6 12:01:03 0.50 WORST N 2 16 07:42:51 0.32 BEST O 3 19 12:01:29 0.50 P 4 13 03:22:50 0.14 INTERMEDIATE Q 5 8 09:30:03 0.40 WORST
You see that the columns and rows are given names through the
row.names arguments, that all fields are clearly separated, with the third unequal row filled in with a blank field, thanks to
fill = TRUE. The added white spaces of unquoted characters are removed, just as specified in the
strip.white argument. Lastly, strings are imported as factors because of the “TRUE” value that was provided for
Note that the vector that you use to complete the
col.names arguments needs to be of the same length of your dataset!
read.delim() and read.delim2()
Just like the
read.delim2() are variants of the
read.table() function. They are also almost identical to the
read.table() function, except for the fact that they assume that the first line that is being read in is a header with the attribute names, while they use a tab as a separator instead of a whitespace, comma or semicolon. They also have the
fill argument set to
TRUE, which means that blank field will be added to rows of unequal length.
You can use
read.delim() to import your data set in the following way, for example:
df <- read.delim("<name and extension of your file>", header = FALSE, sep = "/", quote """, dec = ".", row.names = c("O", "P", "Q"), fill = TRUE, strip.white = TRUE, stringsAsFactors = TRUE, na.strings = "EMPTY", as.is = 3, nrows = 5, skip = 2)
This function uses a decimal point as the decimal mark, as in: 3.1415. The
nrows argument specifies that only five rows should be read of the original data. Lastly, the
as.is is used to suppress factor conversion for a subset of the variables in your data, if they weren’t otherwise specified: just supply the argument with a vector of indices of the columns that you don’t want to convert, like in the command above, or give in a logical vector with a length equal to the number of columns that are read. If the argument is
TRUE, factor conversion is suppressed everywhere.
Remember that factors are variables that can only contain a limited number of different values. As such, they are often called categorical variables.
For example, if you use the function defined above on this data set:
// Contents 1/6/12:01:03/0.50/"WORST" 2/16/07:42:51/0.32/"BEST" 3/19/12:01:29/0.50 4/13/03:22:50/0.14/ INTERMEDIATE 5/8/09:30:03/0.40/ WORST
You will get the following result:
V1 V2 V3 V4 V5 O 3 19 12:01:29 0.50 P 4 13 03:22:50 0.14 INTERMEDIATE Q 5 8 09:30:03 0.40 WORST
read.delim() is set to deal with decimal points, you can already suspect that there is another way to deal with files that have decimal commas. The slightly different function
read.delim2() can be used for those files:
df <- read.delim2("<name and extension of your file>", header = FALSE, sep = "t", quote """, dec = ".", row.names = c("M", "N", "O"), col.names= c("X", "Y", "Z", "A","B"), colClasses = (rep("integer",2), "date", "numeric", "character") fill = TRUE, strip.white = TRUE, na.strings = "EMPTY", skip = 2)
Note that the
read.delim2() function uses a decimal comma as the decimal mark. An example of the use of a decimal comma is 3,1415.
In the function above, the
skip argument specifies that the first two rows of the dataset are not read into R. Secondly,
colClasses allows you to specify a vector of classes for all columns of your data set. In this case, the data set has give columns, with the first two of type integer, replicating the class “integer” twice, the second of “date”, the third of “numeric” and lastly, the fourth of “character”. The replication of the integer type for the two first columns is indicated by the
rep argument. Also, the separator has been defined as
"t", an escape code that designates the horizontal tab.
For a data set such as the following, the
read.delim2() function that was defined above could be applied:
// Contents ID SCORE TIME DECIMAL TIME CLASS 1 6 12:01:03 0.50 WORST 2 16 07:42:51 0.32 BEST 3 19 12:01:29 0.50 4 13 03:22:50 0.14 "EMPTY" 5 8 09:30:03 0.40 WORST
However, you might get an error when you try to force the third column to be read in as a date. It will look like this:
Error in methods::as(data[[i]], colClasses[i]) : no method or default for coercing "character" to "date"
In other words, when executing the above
read.delim2() function, the time attribute is interpreted to be of the type character, which can not be converted to “date”. The reason of this interpretation is probably due to the fact that the date wasn’t defined as it should have been: only hours, minutes and seconds are given in this data set. On top of that, they’re given in a special format that isn’t recognized as standard. This is why you can first better read it in as a character, by replacing “date” by “character” in the
colClasses argument, and then run the following command:
df$Z <- as.POSIXct(df$Z,format="%H:%M:%S")
Note that the
as.POSIXct() function allows you to specify your own format, in cases where you decided to use a specific time and date notation, just like in the data set above.
Your final result will be the following:
X Y Z A B M 3 19 12:01:29 0.50 N 4 13 03:22:50 0.14 INTERMEDIATE O 5 8 09:30:03 0.40 WORST
while your data types, retrieved by executing
str(df), will be
'data.frame': 3 obs. of 5 variables: $ X: int 3 4 5 $ Y: int 19 13 8 $ Z: POSIXct, format: "2015-04-02 12:01:29" "2015-04-02 03:22:50" "2015-04-02 09:30:03" $ A: num 0.5 0.14 0.4 $ B: chr "" "INTERMEDIATE" "WORST"
Not only can you import files through basic R commands, but you can also do this by loading in packages and then using the packages’ functions.
Further Workspace Prepping
Remember that, if you do want to follow this approach, you need to install your packages. You can simply put the following:
install.packages("<name of the package>")
When you have gone through the installation, you can just type in the following to activate the package into your workspace:
library("<name of the package>")
To check if you already installed the package or not, type in
any(grepl("<name of your package>", installed.packages()))
Putting The Packages into Action
XLConnect is a “comprehensive and cross-platform R package for manipulating Microsoft Excel files from within R”. You can make use of functions to create Excel workbooks, with multiple sheets if desired, and import data to them. Read in existing Excel files into R through:
df <- readWorksheetFromFile("<file name and extension>", sheet=1, startRow = 4, endCol = 2)
sheet argument specifies which sheet you exactly want to import into R. You can also add more specifications, such as
startCol to indicate from which row or column the data set should be imported, or
endCol to indicate the point up until where you want the data to be read in. Alternatively, the argument
region allows you to specify a range, like
A5:B5 to indicate starting and ending rows and columns.
Alternatively, you can also load in a whole workbook with the
loadWorkbook() function, to then read in worksheets that you desire to appear as data frames in R through
wb <- loadWorkbook("<name and extension of your file>") df <- readWorksheet(wb, sheet=1)
sheet is not the only argument that you can pass to
readWorksheet(). If you want more information about the package or about all the arguments that you can pass to the
readWorkSheetFromFile() function or to the two alternative functions that were mentioned, you can visit the package’s RDocumentation page.
This is a second package that you can use to load in Excel files in R. The function to read in the files is just the same as the basic
read.table() or its variants:
df <- read.xlsx("<name and extension of your file>", sheetIndex = 1)
Note that it is necessary to add a sheet name or a sheet index to this function. In the example above, the first sheet of the Excel file was assigned.
If you have a bigger data set, you might get better performance when using the
df <- read.xlsx2("<name and extension of your file>", sheetIndex = 1, startRow=2, colIndex = 2)
According to the package information, the function achieves a performance of an order of magnitude faster on sheets with 100,000 cells or more. This is because this function does more work in Java.
Note that the command above is the exact same that you can use in the
readWorkSheetFromFile() from the XLConnect package and that it specifies that you start reading the data set from the second row onwards. Additionally, you might want to specify the
endRow, or you can limit yourself to
rowIndex to indicate the rows and columns you want to extract.
Just like XLConnect, the xlsx package can do a lot more than just reading data: it can also be used to write data frames to Excel workbooks and to manipulate the data further into those files. If you would also like to write a data frame to an Excel workbook, you can just use
write.xlsx(df, "df.xlsx", sheetName="Data Frame")
The function requires you first to specify what data frame you want to export. In the second argument, you specify the name of the file that you are outputting.
If, however, you want to write the data frame to a file that already exists, you can execute the following command:
write.xlsx(df, "<name and extension of your existing file>", sheetName="Data Frame" append=TRUE)
Note that, in addition to changing the name of the output file, you also add the argument
append to indicate that the data frame sheet should be added to the given file. For more details on this package and its functions, go to this page.
This package provides another cross-platform solution to load in Excel files into R. It contains various tools for data manipulation, among which the
read.xls() function, which is used as follows:
df <- read.xls("<name of your file.xls>", perl="<location of perl.exe file on your pc")
read.xls() function translates the named Excel File into a temporary
.tab file, making use of Perl in the process.
Perl is a programming language and stands for “Practical Extraction and Report Language”. It comes standard on Linux and MAC OS X. If you are using Windows and you do not have it installed on your computer, you can download ActiveState Perl here. For more information on how to fill in the
perl argument, visit this page.
Note that you don’t need to know how to use Perl, you just need to be able to retrieve its location on your computer!
Even though the function seems to explicitly target older versions of Excel spreadsheets by the reference to
.xls, but it also accepts
.xlsx files as input.
Note that you actually need to specify the exact Perl path in the
perl argument to execute this command without prompting any errors, only if the working version of Perl is not in the executable search path. In other words, when the
read.xls() funtion is executed, R searches the path to the Excel file and hopes to find Perl on its way. If this is not the case, R will return an error. A possible completion of the
perlargument can look like this, for example:
df <- read.xls("iris.xls", sheet=1, perl="C:/Perl/bin/perl.exe")
This package also offers other functions, such as
xls2sep() and its wrappers
xls2tsv() to return temporary files in .csv, .tab, .tsv files or any other specified format, respectively. These functions work exactly the same as
df <- xls2csv("<name of your file>.xls", sheet = 1, na.strings = "EMPTY", perl="<location of Perl>")
The output of this function,
df, will contain the temporary
.csv file of the first sheet of the
.xlsx file with stringS “EMPTY” defined as NA values. You can subsequently read in this temporary file with any of the previous functions that is fit to read in files with the
.csv extension, like
df <- read.csv(df)
Note that any additional arguments for
xls2sep() and its wrappers are the same as the ones that you use for
read.table(). The defaults of these arguments as set as the ones for
fill arguments set as
TRUE by default and the separator symbol is “,”.
If you want to make sure which file formats are supported by the
read.xls() function, you can use the
xlsFormats(perl="<location of Perl>")
Step Five. Final Checkup
After executing the command to read in the file in which your data set is stored, you might want to check one last time to see if you imported the file correctly. Type in the following command to check the attributes’ data types of your data set:
str("<name of the variable in which you stored your data>")
Like for example:
Or type in
head("<name of the variable in which you stored your data>")
By executing this command, you will get to see the first rows of your data frame. This will allow you to check if the data set’s fields were correctly separated, if you didn’t forget to specify or indicate the header, etc.
Step Six. There And Back Again
Importing your files is only one small but essential step in your endeavours with R. From this point, you are ready to start analyzing, manipulating or visualizing the imported data.

In late 2020, Radical worked as GGRecon’s their delivery partner to develop a new website and re-platform to the latest version of Umbraco with improved CMS functionalities. The new bespoke website is designed by Degree53 and in partnership with them, Radical has developed an innovative gaming and esports website that provides unique content for an esports audience.
As a media company, GGRecon required a CMS for their website that allows easy and timely publishing of multiple contents on a daily basis and allows multiple user access with varying levels of access. Radical developed a delivery plan for the implementation of new designs that included technical requirements such as plugins and re-platforming the website according to the requirements.
Following the approval of the delivery plan, a 4-month long development phase was initiated. The website was built and delivered in an agile environment. The development was carried out in fortnightly sprints, with new functionalities introduced in each sprint along with demo sessions. Client feedback from each sprint was then actioned to be presented in the following demo session.
At a later stage in the delivery phase, the internal development team at GGRecon was onboarded by Radical to help them manage the website following the final delivery. This transition was managed smoothly by sharing tasks between the development team and Radical transferring knowledge from the initial build.
Since launch, the website has been a massive success with daily traffic of 110k+. The new CMS has enabled successful search engine optimisation to attract a significant amount of unique visitors on a monthly basis. Content in various formats such as image libraries, videos, news articles, and reviews can be updated easily by multiple users with varied access and the content received over 600k reactions on Facebook in just the first three months since launch. They have experienced more content engagement than Polygon, Game Rant, PlayStation and Fortnite’s official Pages, and even Nintendo.
Radical continues to enjoy a continued working relationship with GGrecon by providing extended support and maintenance to help their internal team as and when needed.

The Iowa Hawkeyes finished their season today with a 55-47 loss to Michigan at the Big Ten Tournament in Indianapolis. Iowa went 17 minutes in the second half without a field goal and shot just 32-percent from the floor in the game.
Coach Todd Lickliter says the slow start in the second half hurt them. He says Michigan got a shot blocked, had some great looks and couldn’t make a shot, and then Michigan extended out the lead and his team played even for most of the rest of the half. But Lickliter says the initial run kept them at bay. Lickliter is in his first year at Iowa after leaving a successful program at Butler. He says it was tough at times to get his system in place.
Lickliter says the team has to believe that what he’s telling them is the right thing, other than trying to come up with their own way of doing things. Lickliter says they’ll bring in some new guys next season that have poise and pace to their game.
Iowa ends the season at 13-19. "It was a very trying season…I just came off the best season of my career last year, to the Sweet Sixteen, and then jumped in here," Lickliter says. He does say the teammembers always showed up on time and were fun to be around, so there were some positives. Cyrus Tate led Iowa with 16 points, Jake Kelly had 11.

Hello! I hope your new decade is off to a good start. I tried so hard not to re-enter the mode where I have an overwhelming list but I'm afraid I have given in. One thing that is always on my New Year's list is to "clean the studio". Alternate title is "Clean up before someone calls the fire department or I loose my cat, smooshed under a pile of fabric". So, here it is- the first and possibly only tour of the place where all of my work is made. Enjoy.
Other note is that I am trying to get my site up for Valentine's day so if you have a significant other, this is the time to start gently bugging them.
Also, I have spent a lot of time planning for 2020-- get ready for spring and fall skirts and a couple new bag shapes. You will be the first to see everything!
Last note, Do you treasure a bag or object that I made for you? If so, please CLICK HERE and leave a comment. I need some customer feedback for the NEW WEBSITE!
Where can you find my bags, gloves and other pretty things?
Torpedo Factory Art Center Studio 226 105 N. Union Street Alexandria, VA 22314 Open 11-5 everyday but Monday (closed)
You will be the first to know when my web site becomes a shopping site. I’m guessing that will be in end of January!

Under the Influence of Algorithms
Author: Helayna Raffaele
When I think about a dystopia, I think about sameness. Not the natural kind — in that we as humans innately share a lot of qualities with one another — I’m talking about a forced uniformity. Like the Big Brother to our Winston Smith, social media algorithms feed into this coercion of sameness.
Hypothetically speaking, algorithms are no more than an equation. Our media trends act as variables to yield an endless timeline of our likes and interests. This mathematical nature of the algorithm is neither inherently good nor bad — but the way it categorizes our existence into a refined archetype is extremely problematic.
Assuming that we, as media consumers, can be typified into general categories is harmful for two reasons: (a) it assumes that people actually exist as a sort of archetype and (b) it reduces our understanding of the world to that archetypal perspective. Human beings are not monolithic; our interests and opinions waver quicker than ripples over a still body of water. Algorithms that assume the opposite consequently distort our understanding of self and the world as a whole. The way this manifests tends to vary from platform to platform.
Instagram’s algorithm is a master of monoliths and its unique feed chronology is largely to blame. I remember a few years back when the platform announced they’d be changing their feed; it perplexed the majority of us, because who even asked for this? Rather than showing posts in order of when they’re posted, the Instagram feed prioritizes what it “[thinks] you care about most.” This means only the accounts you actively interact with will appear at the top of your feed. Once you’re through all those, your timeline quickly turns into the explore page by suggesting accounts you might like.
In theory, this is a perfectly fine algorithm that serves its purpose of showing you exactly what you like — but as put by Tony Bradley, “therein lies the problem.” “If our social media accounts only show us the perspectives, experiences, and opinions we like and agree with,” says Bradley, “we lose the opportunity to learn about or understand different perspectives, experiences, and opinions.”
This idea is quite vague, I admit, but allow me to illustrate. I find my Instagram algorithm to be extremely fashion-focused. This makes sense, given that fashion accounts dominate my following list. But if my perception of the world was reduced to my Instagram algorithm, it would hold the bodies around me to the standard of models endorsed by said fashion accounts. The cries for diversity within the fashion community are endless. And while runways have undoubtedly begun to diversify, they do so at a snail’s pace.
Jean Paul Gaultier’s Spring 2020 couture collection was one of the last times I found my algorithm filled with a wide range of bodies. Even so, the majority of models were thin, white, and able-bodied. Not everybody looks the same, nor should they — but if our feeds constantly tell us otherwise, we will inevitably begin to believe them. This association with Instagram and influential beauty standards is nothing new. A video essay by youtuber Khadija Mbowe explains how the phenomenon of “Instagram face” has established unrealistic beauty standards both on and off the platform. If you didn’t picture it already, the aesthetic of Instagram face is categorized by “young, poreless skin; high plump cheekbones; long lashes; cat-like eyes; a small neat nose; and, of course, really luscious lips.”
Instagram didn’t create this concept itself. However, the platform’s algorithm has deeply romanticized a standard of beauty which already existed. Instagram face has been described as idealizing a “rootless exoticism,” or in other words, racial ambiguity. Minor cosmetic surgeries such as lip fillers are a common measure taken to achieve this look. While cosmetic surgery is not inherently negative, we shouldn’t feel obliged to all look the same. We are born and bred, not printed and copied. We exist in various forms and there’s no need to change that.
Like Instagram face, the bodies represented within my fashion algorithm are a limited representation of reality. Some people naturally have an Instagram face and model bodies, some people don’t. Our bodies shouldn’t all have to look the same in order to be valid; their mere existence is their own validity. What we do with our bodies should be up to our own personal discretion. Being surrounded by a diversity of body types will allow us to better understand this, both consciously and subconsciously.
Let me start by acknowledging that TikTok didn’t come up with names for its categorical algorithms, but they do project specific stereotypes. There’s been a not-so-subtle war between “Straight” versus “Gay” TikTok since the beginning of quarantine. “Straight” or “Normie” TikTok is viewed as the boring and mundane side of the platform’s algorithm. Here, you’ll find no scarcity of dance videos and oddly sexual POVs. Alternatively (pun intended), “Gay” or “Alt” TikTok is the opposing side of the algorithm. It is all things shamelessly queer and counter-culture — like coming out videos, social commentary, and dark humor. This association between queerness and counter-culture can be viewed as a contemporary manifestation of 1980s Queercore: “a punk rock movement formed by members of the LGBTQ community as a rejection of society’s expectations of ‘normal.’” With a mantra like “Heterosexuality is the opiate of the masses,” the movement clearly established a proud community of queerness by denouncing societal norms. When “normal” society rejects all things queer, it seems both fair and empowering for queerness to, in turn, reject all things “normal.”
The counter-culture of Alt TikTok has undoubtedly created a safe community for many to express and explore their identities freely — but it also has its limits. The stark contrast between the Straight and Gay TikTok binary creates an immense pressure for people to pick a side. If you’re queer, you are expected to be on Alt TikTok; if you’re straight, you are expected to stay in your Normie lane. Once in your designated algorithm, you’re likely to conform to its community standards based on influence alone. The reason many of our parents were constantly wary of who we called our friends is because we naturally reflect our surroundings; this is also true of TikTok. Like our parents, we must remain wary of what we are being influenced by.
Ironically, the Gay algorithm creates it’s own standard of normalcy through its desire to be anti-normal. There lies an innate pressure within this algorithm to be artistic, quirky, and practically bursting with jokes about straight people. In one particular trend, Gay TikTok users used Una Smoole’s “If I were a straight” audio to imagine how they would look if they were heterosexual. Many of the quick clips had common themes: removing very bold or otherwise colourful makeup, and changing their fashion style from thrifted chic to skinny jeans and sportswear. I enjoyed this trend as much as the rest and the overall humor of Alt TikTok rarely disappoints — but it can affect how we perceive queerness.
Not everyone’s expression of queerness is necessarily the same. While it does adopt aspects of counter-culture — including many forms of artistry — it can also exist in those who appear as simple Normie Tiktokers. TikTok user chrisoffish illustrates this idea in his interpretation of the “If I were a straight” trend. His video showed no transformation between his actual queer and figurative straight self. Instead, he states: “I would look exactly the same. Because my personal aesthetic doesnt define me OR my sexuality. You dont have to be a fashionista to be a valid member of the community.” An individual shouldn’t have to abandon the seemingly normal aspects of their identity in order to be accepted within queer communities. Moreover, queerness doesn’t always need to exist on an alternative plane. We can also normalize being queer in its various forms rather than forcibly detesting ideas of normalcy.
As emphasized by Dan Yon’s study on human culture, we are elusive beings by nature. So while the archetypes of Straight and Gay TikTok certainly reflect the identities of some, they erase many others. If our understanding of queer culture were reduced to representations through TikTok, we may demonize those who appear “Straight” or “Normie.” Queer people are, above all, people — not an alternative entity.
Amidst the endless stream of social commentaries and video essays, Youtube’s algorithm has been known to spread extremist ideologies. Chief product officer Neal Mohan attributes this to the platform’s open model: providing a space for all opinions. But if extremist opinions are being recommended to people on an endless loop, they’re going to enforce these ideologies within their daily lives. This is notably the case with channels promoting white supremacy and violent right-wing extremism. Mohan seems to acknowledge the gravity of this issue, claiming “there’s more work to be done” within the platform.
All flaws considered, I still view one aspect of Youtube’s algorithm as a sort of exception to the negative algorithm paradigm. It’s extremist birthing recommendation system is certainly harmful, but presents many loopholes. One of my personal favourite Youtubers, D’Angelo Wallace, describes this best: “I feel like there’s always been a disconnect between what actually gets put as the face of Youtube and what people actually enjoy watching… you can tell by the views on the trending page, they’re not always that good.” The trending page seems arbitrary at best. One would suppose that a trending page would allow users to explore videos beyond their personal algorithm, to see what others are enjoying — yet it doesn’t necessarily garner more views or subscribers for a channel. Rather, what does this best is the platform’s “community post” feature.
A community post is similar to a tweet or Facebook post. The written posts, sometimes in the form of a survey or multiple choice, allow channels to interact more directly with their audiences. As with videos, audiences can like or comment on a community post. But because their debut was so ill-received, Youtube continued to promote this feature in the algorithm to quite literally make them relevant. Viewing one channel’s video causes their community posts, as well as those from similar channels, to periodically appear in your recommendations. Though in some cases, community posts are also shown at complete random.
While this may have been a pure coincidence, I believe this actually makes Youtube’s algorithm a bit superior to those of its fellow platforms. Why? Because it’s infinitely closer to reality than a perfectly tailored algorithm. Community posts sear through your feed like someone cutting you off mid-sentence. Sometimes they’re extremely out of place. Sometimes they unexpectedly enlighten you. That unpredictability of the community post is a breath of fresh air amidst endless algorithms of sameness. I wouldn’t quite call it a utopian algorithm, but it’s as good as it’s gonna get, so I’ll take it.
Don’t get me wrong, algorithms are wonderful for a myriad of reasons; they connect us with likeminded people, create widely accessible communities, and frankly, show us a lot of what we want to see. But this can have a harmful impact on our worldview. If you live your life only consuming what appears pleasurable, what appeals to your interests and sensibilities, then your perception of reality is going to be adversely affected. The world does not exist for the sole purpose of our pleasure and enjoyment. So long as we remain conscious of the ways algorithms feed into our biases, we can keep them from tarnishing our sense of reality.

Many assume the Dark and Medieval ages were periods of gloom and plague, but in reality, they weren't that dark. Medieval riddles serve as proof that people in the Medieval era were inventive and clever – so much so, that the average person today might struggle to solve Saint Aldhelm's Riddles. Not to worry, we've provided both the Medieval riddles and answers below. Solutions can be found at the end.
No one can hold me in his palms or sight; I scatter sudden clatter far and wide. I want to hammer oaks with mournful might; Yes, I strike sky and scour countryside.
Shades shifting as I leave the Earth and sky, My place is not on land; it’s not up high. No one else dreads his exile with such fears, But I would make the world be lush with tears.
Spawned without seed, produced in ways of wonder, I load my sweetened breast with floral plunder; Kings’ honeyed fare grows gilded through my flair. Sharp spears of fearsome war are what I bear, And I beat - handless! - craftsmen’s metalware.
With flesh that’s furrowed and a bluish glow, I’m formed to grind crude metal with each row. Smoothing gold hoards and ore is what I know. Remaining coarse, I keep a surface sleek; While lacking speech, I croak a raucous shriek.
My sweet voice warbles ways that are unique; I will not trill songs with a raucous beak. I’m drab, but still my singing’s hard to spurn, So I keep singing though the future’s bleak. Cold routs me, but in heat I’ll soon return.
The early evening stuck its name on me; I cloak the wester world from my high height. When Titan dips life-giving flesh in sea, And, lost in gray-blue waves, sky drops from sight, I follow glassy plains while hiding light – And I’m not snatched from Heaven, blessedly, As light keeps clearing gloomy shades of night.

There are two types of students when it comes to dressing up for school. One that wears fashionable clothes and the other that wear comfortable t-shirts.
Well, there is nothing wrong with wearing a comfortable t-shirt to school every day. This goes to both male and female students. First of all, school is no place to dress-up. The more comfortable clothes you wear, the more you can focus on your studies. If you are looking for cool t-shirts, then you can find them in Jacksonville.
Why should you wear a t-shirt to school?
A t-shirt is perhaps the most comfortable wear you will find. Most of us wear them at home. But there is nothing wrong if you wear it to your school or college. Nowadays, t-shirts come with cool graphics and prints on them. So if you thought that wearing a t-shirt is boring, then you are wrong.
Here are some of the reasons why you should wear a t-shirt to high school:
- There are no other clothes that are as comfortable as a t-shirt. It is both light and soft. No matter how long you wear it, you won’t feel any discomfort. Most t-shirts are made of breathable fabric which allows air to pass through. This keeps you cool and comfortable all day long.
- T-shirts can be worn by both boys and girls. You can get t-shirts in various colours and designs. The endless designs available gives you the chance to pick the ones you like. T-shirts are designed with cool graphics and prints that make them look appealing.
- When you wear comfortable clothes like a t-shirt to school, it helps you to concentrate better. T-shirts are not tight fitted clothes which get bothering after some time. As a result, you will be able to focus on your studies and other activities more instead of fiddling with your clothes.
- The t-shirts are great for all seasons. However, it makes the best choice for the summers. A pair of sweatpants and t-shirt not only looks good but will also keep you cool in the scorching heat. You can also wear a t-shirt in the wintertime and then put a jacket or sweater on top of it.
- T-shirts are more affordable than any other clothes and this holds for both the genders. This means you can buy more t-shirts for your school. When you have a lot of options available, you don’t have to repeat the same shirt every day.
Thus, you can see the number of benefits you can enjoy by wearing a comfortable t-shirt to school. It is also easy to wear and maintain. You can wear it as long as you want and still feel comfortable in it.

Guest post by Duncan
The images of Iraqis celebrating following their national team’s Asian Cup success look suspiciously like the ‘victory’ photos following the ‘toppling’ of Saddam’s statue in 2003. In other words, all circus and no bread. Just beneath the euphoria, however, is the reality is that sectarian violence and escalation will likely continue, regardless of whatever happens on a soccer field.
If national sport has always been a propaganda tool, the Iraq images serve a unique function.
The media has offered few pictures of the game or its players. Instead, you mostly see people waving flags in the street, or cheering the TV. Beyond strength in the face of hopelessness or pride for an imagined nation state, the celebration images serve the Administration strategy of justifying an occupation and a war. U.S. viewers don’t identify with the event, but rather share in the “victory” of people supposedly overcoming the fear of insurgency.
Because Americans, more so than most, tend toward outward demonstrations of patriotism, these photos also create a point of identification with the Iraqi people, supporting the fiction of unity under a single flag.

Len Siemens, one of the founding members of Canadian Foodgrains Bank, passed away on April 25, 2019, at the age of 93.
Back in the mid-1970s, Len Siemens was part of a small group who created the Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) Food Bank into which farmers could donate grain for shipment overseas. In the early 1980s, MCC then evolved into the Canadian Foodgrains Bank.
“His mission was to feed the world,” says John Wieler, who directed the MCC Food Bank at the time. “He was an agriculturalist and academic who brought credibility to what we were discussing to the MCC board.”
Siemens became the trusted bridge between the businessmen and farmers who dreamt up the MCC Food Bank and MCC leadership in Akron, Ohio.
“He battled through a lot of problems and was willing to answer the tough questions,” adds Wieler, noting that there was some opposition to Canadian Foodgrains Bank being formed at its very beginning by those who thought that it could overtake MCC itself.
Siemens not only was one of the founding members of the Foodgrains Bank, but he also was an agronomy professor at the University of Manitoba and was an associate dean in the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences.
“It is people like Len Siemens that leave lasting legacies,” says Jim Cornelius, executive director of the Foodgrains Bank. “He envisioned what could be and then helped work through the practical and organizational issues to help make it a reality.”
Today, the organization has provided more than $40 million in annual assistance around the world, providing food where it is needed, and supporting the efforts of households and communities to improve their farming, livelihoods, and nutrition. Since its establishment in 1983, more than a billion dollars of assistance has been provided.

Yes, you can undergo vaginoplasty if you have a history of allergies to sutures. However, it is important to discuss your allergies with your surgeon before the surgery. They will be able to recommend suture materials that are less likely to cause an allergic reaction.
There are a number of different suture materials that can be used in vaginoplasty, including absorbable and non-absorbable sutures. Absorbable sutures dissolve over time, while non-absorbable sutures need to be removed by a healthcare professional.
Some of the most common suture materials used in vaginoplasty include:
- Polypropylene: This is a non-absorbable suture that is strong and durable. It is less likely to cause an allergic reaction than some other suture materials.
- Polydioxanone: This is an absorbable suture that is also strong and durable. It is less likely to cause an allergic reaction than some other absorbable suture materials.
- Silk: This is a natural fiber suture that is not as strong as polypropylene or polydioxanone. However, it is less likely to cause an allergic reaction than some other suture materials.
Your surgeon will be able to discuss the different suture materials with you and help you choose the best option for your needs.
In addition to discussing your allergies with your surgeon, you should also be prepared to answer questions about your medical history. This will help your surgeon assess your overall health and determine if you are a good candidate for vaginoplasty.
Vaginoplasty is a major surgery, so it is important to have realistic expectations. The surgery can take several hours, and you will need to stay in the hospital for a few days. You will also need to take time off from work and other activities to recover.
However, vaginoplasty can be a life-changing surgery for many people. If you are considering vaginoplasty, talk to your doctor or a qualified healthcare provider to learn more about the procedure and whether it is right for you.
If you have a history of allergies to sutures (also known as stitches), it is essential to inform your surgical team before considering vaginoplasty. Allergies to sutures can lead to skin irritation, inflammation, or more severe allergic reactions.
During vaginoplasty, sutures are commonly used to close incisions and promote wound healing. If you have a known allergy to specific suture materials, your surgical team will need to take appropriate precautions to avoid any potential exposure to the allergens.
Here are some steps your surgical team may take to accommodate your suture allergy history:
- Allergy Testing: If you have a known allergy to certain suture materials, your surgical team may conduct allergy testing to identify alternative suture materials that are safe for you.
- Alternative Suture Materials: Based on the results of allergy testing, your surgical team will use alternative suture materials that are compatible with your allergies. There are various types of sutures available, and your team will work to find suitable alternatives.
- Absorbable vs. Non-Absorbable Sutures: Sutures can be either absorbable or non-absorbable. Absorbable sutures dissolve on their own over time, while non-absorbable sutures require removal after the wound has healed. Your surgical team will consider the best option for your specific case.
- Post-Operative Care: After vaginoplasty, your surgical team will closely monitor the surgical site and any suture placement to ensure your skin remains healthy and free from irritation.
Open and honest communication with your surgical team is crucial in managing your allergies and ensuring your safety during and after vaginoplasty. Be sure to provide detailed information about your allergy history, including any specific suture materials you are allergic to, so your surgical team can develop a personalized treatment plan that prioritizes your safety and well-being throughout the surgical journey.
In some cases, individuals with severe allergies to sutures may require special considerations, and your surgical team will work with you to find the best approach to accommodate your allergies while providing you with the best possible surgical outcome.

Chocolate Sour Cream Bundt Cake
For the cake:
- 1 cup cocoa powder, sifted, plus more for dusting pan
- 7 1/2 oz. semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 1 cup boiling water
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
- 20 Tbsp. (2 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 2 1/2 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
- 5 eggs, lightly beaten
- 4 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups sour cream
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
For the ganache:
- 6 oz. semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Have all the ingredients at room temperature.
Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F. Grease the Anniversary Bundt Cake Pan and dust with cocoa powder; tap out the excess.
To make the cake, in a bowl, combine the 1 cup cocoa powder and the chocolate. Add the boiling water and whisk until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth and blended. Set aside.
Over a sheet of parchment, sift together the flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the flat beater, beat the butter on medium speed until smooth and creamy, 30 to 45 seconds. Reduce the speed to low, add the brown sugar and beat until blended. Increase the speed to medium and continue beating until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 5 minutes, stopping the mixer occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the eggs a little at a time, beating until incorporated before adding more and stopping the mixer occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Beat in the vanilla until incorporated, about 1 minute.
Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture in three additions, alternating with the sour cream and beginning and ending with the flour, beating just until blended and no lumps of flour remain. Slowly pour in the chocolate-cocoa mixture and beat until no white streaks are visible, stopping the mixer occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading the batter so the sides are about 1 inch higher than the center. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached to it, 60 to 65 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the cake cool upright in the pan for 15 minutes. Invert the pan onto the rack and lift off the pan. Let the cake cool completely, at least 1 hour.
Return the cooled cake to the pan. Using a serrated knife, gently saw off any excess cake that extends over the edge of the pan. Set the wire rack on a parchment paper lines baking sheet. Invert the pan onto the rack and lift off the pan.
Meanwhile make the ganache: In a heatproof bowl, combine the chocolate and butter. In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the cream just to a boil. Immediately pour the cream over the chocolate and butter. Whisk until the melt and the mixture is smooth.
Pour the ganache over the top of the cake, allowing the ganache, to drip down the sides. Let the cake stand until the ganache is set, at least 15 minutes.

Spirituality is Different from Religion
“Spirituality is recognizing and celebrating that we are all inextricably connected to one another by a power greater than all of us, and that our connection to that powered to one another is grounded in love and belonging. Practicing spirituality brings a sense of perspective, meaning, and purpose to our lives.”~Brene Brown, Rising Strong
I have experiences at 6 am when I’m driving to work as the sun is coming up, drinking my coffee while listening to music-yes, I’m even a multitasker when I drive. When I can turn my brain off and just pay attention to what is right in front of me- I can feel a sense of peace and tears will stream down my face with joy. I feel a power greater than myself move through me. It’s the feeling I get when I feel connected. Helping others. Listening. A gentle touch. Grounded. Nature. Exercise. I’ve also had powerful ritualistic experiences of connection around organized religion of every denomination. Curiosity is what keeps me seeking and engaged.
Often times when I meet someone in my office for the first time and I’m facilitating a diagnostic assessment, I ask…”How would you describe your spirituality?” Most times, the patient responds either, “Oh-I’m not religious at all” or…”I was raised Catholic but organized religion turns me off.” I’m always enlightened by the opportunity to use this as a teaching moment to explain the difference between religion and spirituality.
- Where do I find Meaning?
- How do I feel Connected?
- How do I want to Live?
Spirituality is the process of personal transformation and exploration. Prayer is talking. Meditation is listening.
There can be an overlap of religion and spirituality, one does not need to exist without the other they can be separate. Some people identify as spiritual, some religious, some both.
- What practices, rites, or rituals “should” I follow?
- What is true and false?
- What is right and wrong?
Religion is an organized structured way to connect with God and put our faith into action. As someone who struggles with rules, I often times felt shamed if I broke the rules. I didn’t feel good enough. I became more comfortable as a Cafeteria Catholic- picking and choosing what felt right and leaving the rest. I identify as someone who has a strong connection to many different flavors rooted in spiritual practice.
The journey of spirituality is long lasting, ebbs and flows, and may be stronger at different points in our life. If we want a spiritual foundation, we need to work at it on a daily basis. Here are some suggestions of activities I engage in to strengthen my understanding of something greater than myself. I hope this will help you get started as you begin or continue to explore your deeper understanding of spirituality.
- Being emotionally intimate and vulnerable in my relationships.
- Sitting by the ocean awakening my senses-listening to the waves, seeing the beauty, smelling the air, feeling the sun and wind on my face. This is when I truly feel alive.
- Traveling, learning about other cultures, serving the poor, experiential learning.
- Just sitting and breathing.
- Listening to music and connecting with the words and rhythm.
I encourage you to ponder these questions and spend some time in meditation. Write your answers down in a journal. What are you longing for? How do you fulfill your spiritual drive? What is your spiritual journey? At one point or another, we find ourselves wondering what is our life’s purpose. Be gentle with yourself, just BE and you will start to have greater experiences of connection.
“Spirituality does not come from religion. It comes from our soul. No one is born with religion. Everyone is born with spirituality.” Anthony Douglas Williams-Inside the Divine Pattern

19/08/2012 – Colombo, Sri Lanka: Be it a tsunami, a war, floods, famine, landslides, tornados, or what ever the natural disaster may be, in the aftermath of each and every one of it, we certainly know that there will be help coming, and that people, whom you never have met or know who they are, will come rushing to your aid in order to help you to come out from the status that you are in. This service has been the corner stone of every nation, every society’s dosage of recovering.
August 19th holds the designation of World Humanitarian Day. The United Nations encourages us to note this date as a time to recognize those who face danger and adversity in order to help others. An online dictionary defines a humanitarian as one who is devoted to the promotion of human welfare and the advancement of social reforms.
Those engaged in humanitarian work are not saints; they are not persons who should be placed in a separate category of elite people. They are men and women who have chosen to commit a part of their life to helping others. Each and every person has the capacity to promote human welfare and advance social reforms. Each person can be a humanitarian.
“We at Sri Lanka Red Cross have been carrying out service to the public for over 75 years now. It would not have been a possibility if it wasn’t for the thousands and thousands of volunteers who have come and gone in these years to carry the real sprit of the Red Cross to the most vulnerable” says Jagath Abeysinghe the President of the Sri Lanka Red Cross Society.
“The success of our aid to people is our people itself. If they were not here to be with us to carry out our services, then we will merely be an emblem with no meaning”
In Sri Lanka many events have been organized through the week to commemorate this day to thank millions of humanitarians who have given they’re time and service to help another.

Rucksacks, or backpacks if you’re from somewhere else, are cool and useful things. But they can get heavy fast, which is not good for posture or pace. So why walk when you can ride? Why drag when you can roll? Why suffer when you can breeze?
The Glyde Gear Fly Backpack Scooter is, no kidding, a backpack which converts into a ride-on scooter at the drop of a platform. Not only that, but it can also serve as a roller case if you’ve found yourself so loaded with stuff that your spine is in danger of collapse.
The product is obviously designed for those who travel carrying heavy books in their bags, or maybe neighborly trips with a load of Tupperware, but whatever the reason, it looks like fun. Ten points for anyone spotting a pilot en route to their jet using one of these. Priced at $89.99.

Ensuring threat visibility across a hybrid cloud network
A national homebuilder was concerned that it lacked the technology and resources to identify when it was being targeted by cybercriminals. By partnering with Redscan, the company has elevated its security maturity and is now able to detect and respond to threats more swiftly and competently than ever before.
- Growing use of cloud services
- Dispersed and mobile workforce
- GDPR and PCI DSS requirements
As a leading national housebuilder with a large and very mobile IT estate, this organisation has the potential to be an attractive target to cybercriminals. The dispersed nature of the company’s workforce means that it relies heavily on carefully selected cloud services to enable and facilitate employee and subcontractor access to systems and data, both in the office and whilst in the field.
Security logs were not being consistently captured, analysed and correlated, leaving the organisation at risk of attacks without any visibility of them. There were also concerns about whether the business was doing enough to satisfy the requirements of the GDPR and PCI DSS.
The organisation needed a security capability that would enable it to effectively monitor and protect important data and assets, 24/7/365. But with a small team, the company’s Head of Technology & Cybersecurity knew it lacked the resources to build this capability in-house – it needed a security partner to provide support and expertise.
“As an organisation using digital technologies to support the development, delivery, support and sale of our homes, we recognised that we needed a more cohesive solution and strategically aligned partner to help us deliver the majority of the required cyber security operations effectively.”
After a rigorous tendering process, the homebuilder selected Redscan as its cyber security partner. It did so in recognition of the fact that Redscan demonstrated a clear understanding of its needs and offered a set of well-integrated and expertly supported tools to address them.
Redscan’s award-winning Managed Detection and Response service, supplies the people, technology and intelligence needed to quickly identify and respond to current and emerging cyber threats. For a cost-effective annual subscription, our MDR service provides extensive visibility across the company’s infrastructure, and in doing so, reduces their mean time to detect and mean time to respond to threats. Redscan’s Security Operations Centre professionals operate as a virtual extension of the organisation, providing notification of genuine incidents and actionable mitigation guidance to help respond swiftly and effectively to them.
The Head of Technology & Cybersecurity says: “Redscan’s excellent alignment to a cloud-first ethos matches ours perfectly and is ideal for our highly mobile workforce. The scalability and reliability of Redscan’s service gives us the confidence that our cyber security is being maintained very effectively and will support the growth of the business. Our expectations and needs have been met exactly, and this is true from the first stage of engaging with the team at Redscan as a potential partner, through to onboarding and now on an ongoing operational basis.

Seymour Duncan Custom SSL-5 Staggered Strat Pickup, White
David Gilmour needed a pumped-up sound for his famous Black Strat, so Seymour wound what became the Custom Staggered medium-output Stratocaster pickup. It has been, and continues to be, an honor to work with such a legend. The Custom Staggered is a special overwound single-coil that strikes a great balance between increased output and classic Stratocaster tonal character. It will deliver bigger, fatter chords, and will cut through the mix more clearly than a traditional Strat pickup, all the while maintaining the magic and mojo that make a Strat sound like a Strat. Single notes are bold and loud, and solos truly sing. Use in the bridge position with a pair of Vintage Staggered Strat pickups in the neck and middle for the Gilmour-approved setup. Use a Custom Staggered RWRP in the middle for noiseless setup in positions 2 and 4.
This high-output single-coil Stratocaster pickup delivers true single-coil Strat tone with more output. It sounds amazing with heavier, brighter-toned ash or alder guitars. A great pickup for Texas blues rock, classic rock, and heavy rock.

With the type of production that Steelers sixth-round draft pick Quincy Roche produced in college, it was surprising to see him fall to the sixth round.
Defensive coordinator Keith Butler was even surprised that Roche didn't get drafted earlier.
“Well it was a little bit of a surprise him being there, Butler said of Roche. "We rated him around the late 3rd, early 4th, all the way into the 5th round, but like I said, we had different people on our board at the time that might have been rated a little bit higher and so we took the highest-rated guy. ... We had several needs on defense, we got to them. We’re still in need of a couple of positions here and there, but we’ll see what happens.”
Roche played his first three years at Temple before transferring to Miami for the 2020 season. In his college career, Roche had 30.5 sacks, 54 tackles for a loss and eight forced fumbles.
He started 10 games in 2020, finishing the season with 45 tackles and 14.5 tackles for a loss, which ranked second on the Hurricanes and third in the ACC. He also recorded 4.5 sacks, along with leading the ACC with three forced fumbles and he had two fumble recoveries.
Despite a productive college career, Roche somehow fell to the sixth round.
"I'ma shoot you straight. I expected to go higher. It was a long three days sitting on the couch," Rouche said.
There was some disappointment for Roche with falling to the sixth round, but he's just glad to have an opportunity with one of the best run organizations in the NFL. Growing up in Baltimore and then playing college football at Temple and Miami, Roche says he fits the blue-collar mold of the Steelers.
“I’m excited,” Roche said. “I’ve always watched this defense. This is right up my alley, hard-nosed, rugged football. Even though I went low in the draft, it worked out. There aren’t too many programs in the league that would have been a better fit than the Steelers. I can’t wait to start improving and get to work.”
Chris Trapasso of CBS Sports thinks the Steelers got a steal in the sixth round with Roche and believes that he'll have an instant impact.
"The Steelers got quality contributions from first-year edge rusher Alex Highsmith in 2020, but gone is Bud Dupree, and every club needs a steady No. 3 rusher in today's pass-obsessed NFL," Trapasso wrote. "Despite only playing in 11 games last year -- shortened due to injury -- Dupree was on the field for 59% of Pittsburgh's snaps in the regular season.
"There's an opportunity for Roche to make a name for himself early in the NFL. And he has the game to do it. Pittsburgh got him on the bargain rack in the sixth round. He likely fell because of his smaller stature on a subpar workout at the Miami pro day, but the former Temple and Miami star has a developed arsenal of pass-rushing moves and plays much bendier around the corner than his measured athleticism would indicate.
In Pittsburgh, Roche can be a classic, stand-up rush linebacker, and his refined game bodes well for his ability to make an instant impact."
With Bud Dupree signing with the Titans in free agency back in March, Alex Highsmith will step up as the starting right outside linebacker, and with Cassius Marsh as the only backup outside linebacker with a solid NFL resume, it wouldn't be surprising to see Roche become the No. 3 outside linebacker and get a good amount of snaps in his rookie year.

Although digital transformation (DX) was already well underway before 2019, the pandemic rapidly accelerated the widespread adoption of new technologies in every industry. This includes industries previously assumed to be impossible to conduct online, like maximising auto sales revenue and patience-focused digital healthcare solutions. Most organisations understand the need to implement a DX to recover and thrive in today’s digitised landscape. However, the unfortunate reality is that many DX programmes fail despite hefty investments and upper-level buy-in.
Forward-looking companies need to ramp up their DX initiatives to maintain an edge in the face of an uncertain future. However, a lacklustre DX won’t provide the necessary value to compete in a volatile marketplace.
The Missing Element in Digital Transformation
Ironically, the problem with most DX plans is not the technology, it’s the people. While you could pinpoint several factors that cause most DX implementations to fail, they all ultimately come down to a failure to change human behaviour. To succeed in your DX efforts, you must clearly articulate, define, and communicate the expected outcomes and benefits.
Every organisation has its idiosyncratic blend of needs, dynamics, and personalities. So a successful DX will look different for each one. There is no single digital tool that will fundamentally change your business. Instead, you need to start with a framework that considers all the people, processes, and technology in your organisation and approach it from a change management perspective.
How to Build a Successful Digital Transformation Framework
Your company’s vision, mission, and strategy will lay the foundation for your DX plan. To ensure that your DX strategy is guided by and tailored to your organisation’s needs, it should be an overarching and cohesive effort that incorporates all aspects of business operations. You can implement your DX programme with either a PMO or a TMO.
A Project Management Office (PMO) is a centralised unit responsible for defining and maintaining standards for project management across an organisation. A Transformation Management Office (TMO) is a similar unit, but its focus is on leading and managing large-scale organisational change initiatives, including digital transformation. Both PMO and TMO play important roles in driving the success of digital transformation initiatives.
A PMO can:
- Define project management standards and methodologies for digital transformation projects, such as Agile, Waterfall, or Hybrid
- Provide project management support, such as resource allocation, project planning, risk management, and project tracking
- Ensure that project management best practices are followed consistently across all digital transformation projects
- Provide a centralised repository for project management information, such as project plans, project reports, and project status updates
A TMO will do everything a PMO does in addition to the following:
- Develop a comprehensive digital transformation strategy — aligned with the overall business strategy — to drive digital maturity and competitiveness
- Lead cross-functional teams and coordinate with stakeholders to ensure the successful execution of digital transformation initiatives
- Provide governance and oversight to ensure that digital transformation initiatives are aligned with the overall strategy and are delivered on time, within budget, and to the desired quality
- Continuously monitor and assess the progress of digital transformation initiatives and make adjustments as needed to ensure their success
- Both PMO and TMO are focused on driving organisational change and improvement
- Both units work closely with stakeholders across the organisation to ensure that projects and initiatives are executed successfully
- Both PMO and TMO play a critical role in ensuring that projects and initiatives are delivered on time, within budget, and to the desired quality
- The PMO’s focus is primarily on project management, whereas the TMO’s focus is on leading and managing organisational change initiatives, including digital transformation
- The PMO is responsible for defining and maintaining project management standards and methodologies, while the TMO is responsible for developing and executing a comprehensive digital transformation strategy
- The PMO focuses on the execution of individual projects, while the TMO focuses on the overall transformation of the organisation
The Stages of Change Management for a Digital Transformation Strategy
Whether you choose a PMO or a TMO, you need an explicit transformation roadmap governed by your autonomous PMO or TMO that can communicate the need for change and follow through in delivery. The change management process should be customised for your business but include the following steps:
Define and Analyse
During this phase, you’ll revisit your organisation’s vision, mission, and strategy to determine if it needs to be updated or re-evaluated. You’ll examine how your business objectives are linked to the DX and define what changes need to be enacted to follow your digital roadmap.
Once you’ve determined your needs, you can create your roadmap. During this stage, you’ll identify how you can implement change processes to meet your goals as well as the schedule, budget, and resources you need. Then you’ll prioritise tasks, starting with the ones that will create the most fundamental change.
Now it’s time to go live. However, this isn’t the end. Quite the opposite — the time and attention you need to devote at this point may exceed your planning time to date. Continue to measure and manage how your workforce adopts the system.
This is the point when many DX efforts fail. Companies often plan for and adopt new technologies but miss the essential step of ensuring their people are fully trained in using them as expected. To execute well, you should define the change indicators to measure the success of your DX, such as the level of digital adoption. Monitor these change indicators and respond accordingly.
Continue to Improve
After a successful DX, you should celebrate your change. Build on this momentum to create an organisational culture that embraces change. The data analytics of your new system will show where you can improve your business operations. And accepting the challenge of continuous improvement will ensure you remain competitive despite changes in the marketplace.
A Proven Approach to Transformation Management
Working with a change partner like Renoir can significantly increase the value you gain from your DX efforts. Our proven approach provides:
- A comprehensive transformation program that is driven by strategy to support your business vision
- Alignment with your company’s perceived needs as well as your real needs to effectively execute the strategy

- A transformation focus that centres around your core business performance and execution
- Confidence and security that your business will realise the full financial benefits and strategic objectives of your DX
- A TMO or PMO that drives continuous improvement and is ready to embrace the challenges of an uncertain future
The human factor must be at the forefront of your DX strategy if you want to scale up.

By now, we are all fully aware of the control that mobile phones have on our everyday lives. It shouldn't come as a surprise that Americans spend five to six hours per day staring at their phones. Nor should the fact that nearly 70% of all web traffic originates from a mobile device.
This amount of mobile consumption has significantly affected our behaviors when it comes to shopping, including how prospective residents search for and engage with apartment communities. There are many different mobile channels—Google My Business listings, navigational applications like Google or Apple Maps, advertisements, and social media—that direct prospects to your apartment community's mobile website.
But simply getting visitors there is not a guarantee of leasing success, as data has recently emerged that clearly depicts what users expect of a mobile website.
Apartment shoppers expect a seamless mobile browsing experience where they can learn everything they need to know to confidently reach out to your leasing office.
Strong, lease-generating apartment websites let potential residents see the inside of units as this is ultimately the reason they are searching in the first place. Having floorplan-specific content and walkthrough video tours makes this possible, and the content shown must be both consumable and accessible on any device.
Considering that 91% of potential residents say they will use their mobile device while conducting an apartment search, apartment marketers should ask themselves this question: Is it possible for someone to initiate the leasing process entirely from their phone?
Unfortunately, many still rely on pre-built, templated mobile websites that were provided by their property management software company. The desktop version of the website may meet their desired expectations, but the mobile version is merely an afterthought.
It is critical as apartment marketers to avoid thinking in this way as:
61% of mobile users will not return to a website if it doesn't adapt well to a mobile view.
If your apartment community's website isn't optimized for mobile viewing, accessing media on a small screen becomes increasingly more difficult. It will also create frustration for users to have to sort through your various floorplan and amenity pages, too. If prospective residents have a difficult time learning more about your apartments while navigating your mobile site, they'll move on quickly and you'll lose out on a great lead all because your mobile site wasn't adaptive.
In fact, a one-second delay of page responsiveness can reduce conversion likelihood by 7%. When you think about the amount of content on an apartment’s mobile website, as well as the number of forms prospective residents may have to fill out to apply or schedule a tour, it's critical that everything loads quickly and is easy to use. Otherwise, the chances of a potential resident leaving your site increase every single second.
Google will rank your apartment community website lower in search results because it's not
In June 2021, Google changed its search ranking algorithm to heavily emphasize page experience. Mobile-friendliness is one of the signals that the search engine looks at to measure user experience. If it sees that users are having a poor time using your apartment community's mobile website, that could potentially hinder your chances of gaining needed visibility from an online search.
A mobile apartment website must meet user expectations, while also facilitating faster lead generation and effectively converting more of them into leases.
Though every potential resident's leasing journey is unique in terms of timing, searchers using a mobile device typically have a more urgent need. Data shows that 70% of mobile searches result in an action in less than an hour, meaning an apartment community with a mobile-friendly website can generate more leads faster.

Many key concepts in conservation biology such as ‘endangered species’ and ‘natural’ or ‘historic range’ are universalistic, nation-blind and do not implicate the existence of geopolitical borders and sovereign states. However, it is impossible to consider biodiversity conservation without any reference to sovereign states. Consequently, the units of biodiversity and their ranges transform into ... [Show full abstract] legal concepts and categories. This paper explores the area that results from this transformation of the universalist idea into national policy targets. Conservation sovereignty denotes to right of each state to design and carry out its own conservation policies. To illustrate the problematic nature of conservation sovereignty, the paper focuses on two cases where the borders and the state play the key role: (1) the global division of conservation labour and (2) assisted migration. All in all, this paper takes a critical look upon the anomalies in universalism and conservation sovereignty.

By Retail4Growth Bureau | October 10, 2022
The brand has opened new store in Jaipur, setting in motion its plans to expand retail footprint across the country with 80+ stores in the coming five years.
Boddess Beauty, the Indian omni-channel multi-brand beauty retailer, has opened its second experiential store in India and plans for aggressive retail expansion to strengthen its omni-channel presence. Following its online launch in 2020 with 200+ beauty brands and its first Luxe store at Ambience Mall, Gurgaon in 2021, the brand has now opened its new store in Jaipur setting in motion the brand’s robust plans to expand its retail footprint across the country with 80+ stores in the coming 5 years.
Located at the Mall of Jaipur, Boddess Beauty is home to a curated range of international and home-grown beauty brands, elevated service stations equipped with skin experts, make-up artists, and beauty advisors.

Thereafter, we swiftly launched the first Luxe store in India at Ambience Mall, Gurgaon. The first non-metro store in Jaipur is another step towards increasing our retail footprint with over 80+ stores in the coming 5 years.

How to Master Email
Email is your core online identity. You don’t need to outsource it to a corporation.
There's a ubiquitous social network, of which nearly everyone is already an active user. It suffers no manipulation by catechized algorithms of one kind or another, and it doesn't require you to place irrevocable trust in Them by permanently delegating your very identity.
I'm talking about email – a technology that's pushing a half-century, wildly underestimated and wrongly defamed, that gracefully handles some very modern problems and offers a number of conveniences.
Decentralized identity, free and open protocols, federated to the bones. Minimal censorship or true deplatforming risk, interoperability and programmability, a rich and enormous ecosystem. The messages can come from another person, from members of a discussion list you joined, or from an automated process that delivers you a receipt, the latest essay of a writer you like, or illicit herbal supplements from an unspecified Korea.
In this guide, we will put you on a path toward digital sovereignty where you can take ownership of your email (and by extension, your core online identity). At that point, it's choose-your-own adventure, and you can go as deep into the weeds as you like. You will no longer be dependent upon a single provider, obtain a nicer looking email address, and get a glimpse of how email works behind the curtain.
Step 0: Choose your own identifier
Your first decision, barely a decision, is an important one: Will you content yourself with an email address ending in @gmail.com or @protonmail.com? Or are you willing and able to spend some tens of dollars per year, and homestead on your own domain under your own control? This decision will determine your digital future.
Our email addresses are more than the places from which we send and accept email; they are the closest thing we have to a personal digital identifier that's been adopted more or less universally.
If everyone knows you by firstname.lastname@example.org, then your future is Google's. Your email account can be canceled tomorrow, and you will have no recourse that doesn't involve a plea for mercy. Even in the case of migrating away on good terms, you trust that your provider will continue to allow you to use their domain name (in this case, gmail.com) to receive emails to your old address to be forwarded. If you forget your password for other services (or use email-based two factor authentication), you may lose your access to these online accounts across the board.
If your email address, on the other hand, is to be closer to my own – email@example.com – then you retain some future optionality. You can leave one email provider but sign up with another, update a couple records, and you'll be back in business with the same address. You will live to die another day. You'll also have the option of using that domain for other things too, like starting a blog, or even just forwarding it to your social media profile.
If you're reading this guide, you want the second option. It's a no-brainer, and we'll assume you made the right choice.
Step 1: Registering your domain name
There are many options for registering your domain name and most are fine. Many are resellers, and just about all trace back in a couple hops to entities like ICANN and other mysterious groups of academic, corporate, and political types. A trinity of wonks that preside over which human-legible addresses map to which computers, the one thing that makes most of the internet usable. What could go wrong?
If there's a vulnerability in the internet as we know it, and of course there are, it is here. So don't waste time worrying too much about the surface level. Deplatforming by seizing someone's domain name is pretty rare, orders of magnitude rarer than getting blocked and reported on Twitter, so take advantage of what you have. You're more likely to get banned by your email (or hosting) provider, but this is still comparatively rare and the main targets are spammers. Even if dropped by one provider, there's plenty of alternatives, and the mature technology is such that “building your own email provider” is less an insult and sort of plausible.
As you jump through the hoops to register your domain, be sure to do three things: (1) enable auto-renew, (2) enable domain privacy or private registration, or risk your address being published in public directories, and (3) refuse any offers from your domain registrar to help you set up email or a website.
You don't want to lose your domain because you failed to pay twenty bucks next year, and you don't want to host from your domain provider. The last one may not be obvious, but it's a matter of keeping yourself agile and ready to switch services (while keeping your name). It'll let you recover more easily from deplatforming, and you'll also have more room to experiment with your setup. Registrars are usually reselling inferior add-on services at a premium. Domain registration is a commodity, profit margins on it alone are slim, so expect plenty of upsells, and to avoid most.
Once you're done with this step, and your domain is registered, keep the tab open. We have some tasks to complete here later in Step 4.
Step 2: How far into the rabbit hole will you go?
Now you have to decide how interested you are in tinkering in and against an environment of some uncertainty. Do you just want a heartier setup – or are you really looking to tinker, go off-grid, learn some digital prepper skills? If you choose the latter, bear in mind that the extra freedom will come with extra responsibility, and additional danger will lurk.
You might also have fun, learn a lot, and acquire some valuable skills. The internet runs on Linux mostly, and you'll be taking a step closer toward its plumbing, away from illusions produced by the web browser.
If you're inclined toward this, but not fluent with servers yet, I suggest that you take the simpler route for now. Stay tuned, as in future guides, we'll dive deep into the world of servers.
Step 3: Pick an email provider (or set up an email server)
Once you choose how deep into the rabbit hole you wish to go, you can decide how to handle your email delivery. Will you purchase service from an established provider, or take on the task of setting up an email server yourself? For now, we'll assume the former, but give you a preview of the latter too.
As with domain registrars, email providers are almost infinite in number. Everyone's familiar with Gmail, and elder millennials may recall the terribly named “Hotmail.” But while they may support bringing your own domain, why not avoid big tech when you can?
I like Fastmail, which provides a clean web interface packed with power user options, offers all we need, and provides outstanding documentation that'll help you get started. Their offerings give you some space to learn and make tweaks without hosting your own servers just yet.
Once you land on an email provider, search their site and documentation, and make sure they support using your own domain. Once you're satisfied that this is so, you can now sign up.
After you've signed up for your choice of mail provider, you should return to their documentation and hunt around for articles mentioning a variety of acronyms like MX, SPF, DKIM, and more. Fastmail provides the info you’ll need here.
Once you find them, keep the tab open.
Step 4: Update your DNS records through your domain registrar
Return to the tab from Step 1, or to your domain registrar's site. You'll want to visit the control panel and edit your domain's DNS (or domain name system) records. These are not the same as “nameservers,” which you should avoid changing. If you choose Hover, you can reach the control panel here and click Edit -> Edit DNS, next to your domain.
Your domain's DNS records are how you advertise what servers your addresses correspond to, and other necessary information about your setup. They're how the broader internet learns that your domain name accepts mail, and tells them which server should receive it. Some records are used to manage spam and authenticate your mail. Other records are used to locate websites, when you venture down that path. DNS is a huge topic, however, and this barely scratches the surface.
The interface for editing these records will look something like this, though it'll differ by provider:
This is where you'll be adding the DNS records that you obtained from your mail provider. It may appear intimidating at first, but don't think too hard. At this step you should be copying and pasting the records over from Step 3. These should include MX records, as well as several TXT records that help others authenticate your address. Those TXT records will have exciting names like SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, and are generally used by others to detect spammers and spoofers. Your email may end up in a spam folder if these are misconfigured, so copy them over carefully.
Step 5: Take a break and check your work
After you've pasted your DNS records from your mail provider over to your domain registrar, and saved the updates, take a short break. Your records will typically propagate across the internet within ten or fifteen minutes.
At this point, try taking your new email for a spin. Sign into your new provider's webmail interface, and send an email to your original email address. Do you receive it in that inbox? If so, then you know basic sending is set up properly. Then try sending an email from your old provider to your new address. If you receive it in your new inbox, then you know your new address is receiving mail.
Throughout the above, you may need to check your spam folders, and adjust those darned TXT records containing SPF, DKIM, or DMARC information. Free tools like Mail-Tester can help you with proper setup, and also help you optimize your email's chances of reaching someone's inbox.
If you can't send and receive email using your new address just yet, give it some time. It may take hours or even days in some rare instances. And be sure to double and triple check that your domain registrar's control panel reflects the DNS records that your mail provider provided to you. Make sure that no MX records for the same domain are set to a different mail provider.
Once you're sending and receiving email, and you're satisfied with its delivery, it's time to plan what your big move will look like.
Step 6: Plan your migration
Do you want to maintain two inboxes forever, or use your new mailbox exclusively? The latter seems a lot more sustainable and convenient, but the decision is yours. Your new provider will generally offer instructions for migrating your email from popular providers. Fastmail shows you how to migrate from Gmail here.
Whether or not you choose to migrate existing email, you can often set up a forwarding address through your original email provider. If you're at Gmail, you can set up email forwarding by following this guide. Beware there's no guarantee they'll continue to service your original address, and that's one reason you're moving to your own address in the first place.
When you're ready, enable email forwarding and generally keep yourself to using your new email address. You don't want to rely on the old email address, so you should set up an auto-responder from that account to notify others that you're using a new email address.
When you're confident in your new setup, and have the essentials arranged to your liking, you should update the email address you're using across your online accounts to the new one.
It may take a little time, but it's not so painful. If you don't plan to take this step, be sure you're deciding otherwise for a good reason, and do what you can to keep your original address active. Most services won't restore your access to an account if they can't reach you at the email you have on file.
Step 7: Run wild
Now that you have taken ownership of your key digital identity, and have taken the first step to decentralize and administer your own web services, you should return to your goals.
If you were just looking for a more flexible email setup, and to have a fancier email address, you are just about set. Update the settings for any mail apps to correspond to login information provided by your new email provider, or continue to use your new provider's webmail.
In future guides, we'll step beyond these conventional mail apps to take advantage of self-hosted services that will take your email and online presence further than before. Empowered with a new level of sovereignty, you'll be well positioned to dive deeper into using servers of many sorts, and prep for running your own mail server.
Where there is a will, you can host your own newsletter or mailing list using open source software. Or launch a custom webmail interface just for yourself. If you decide to learn how to launch applications, like Listmonk or favorite relics like Mailman, on your own server, you'll take the next step away from the homeowner's association condo toward the homestead that you own and can make your own.

Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk says his country has imposed a ban on transit flights over Ukraine for all Russian airlines.
Speaking at a cabinet session in Kyiv on November 25, Yatsenyuk asked the Infrastructure Ministry to officially notify Russia about "the closure of [Ukrainian] airspace to all Russian airlines without exception."
Last month, the two countries banned landings by each other's airlines.
Yatsenyuk also said his government had decided to order Ukraine's Naftohaz oil and gas giant to stop buying natural gas from Russia.
Yatsenyuk cited as the major reason for the decision the difference between European and Russian gas prices, with European ones being "much better."
Russia's state-controlled natural-gas giant Gazprom said earlier on November 25 that it had stopped deliveries of gas to Ukraine because of Kyiv's alleged failure to make the required prepayments.

From Cato Institute:
Featuring Gene Healy, Vice President, Cato Institute; and Christopher Preble, Vice President for Defense and Foreign Policy Studies, Cato Institute; moderated by John Maniscalco, Director of Congressional Affairs, Cato Institute.
When Congress authorized the arming and training of Syrian moderates to combat ISIS, it explicitly stated that this action should not be construed as an authorization for the introduction of U.S.armed forces into hostilities. Yet, on the orders of President Obama, the United States has begun bombing ISIS targets within Syria. Did the president violate the Constitution, which grants Congress the exclusive power to “declare War”? If intervention is in America’s national security interest, how should the mission be defined and how should it be achieved?

As you probably know, poorly designed battery packs can overheat, catch on fire, and even explode. And while these problems most often affect cheap knock-offs, every now and then a batch of name brand batteries will be afflicted as well.
Lenovo has just announced that they are recalling a total of approximately 37,000 laptop batteries in the US and Canada because they present a potential fire hazard.
If you own one of laptop models on the list below, you should immediately contact Lenovo immediately and request a replacement.
Here are the Lenovo laptops that use the recalled batteries: [Read more…]

Program 717: Bill Bryson At Home; Pico Iyer In Search of Paradise; Walkable Cities
Release Date: 06-10-2023
Author Bill Bryson describes how buying an old house in England has made him appreciate how dramatically domestic life has changed in just a few generations. Then writer Pico Iyer explains why visiting difficult destinations can shed light on where — or what — "paradise" might be. And urban planner Jeff Speck celebrates some of the North American cities that are catching up with their European cousins in designing pedestrian-friendly streetscapes.
- Author Bill Bryson, author of titles including "At Home: A Short History of Private Life" (Random House)
- Pico Iyer, author of "The Half-Known Life: In Search of Paradise" (Penguin-Random House)
- Urban planner Jeff Speck, author of "Walkable City: How Downtown Can Save America One Step at a Time" (Picador)
- Bill Bryson has written a number of best-selling books on travel, language and science topics since 1984. Rick talked with him about his 2010 book "At Home: A Short History of Private Life." (Random House)
- Pico Iyer writes about how his travels have revealed distinctive views of the world in his book "The Half-Known Life: In Search of Paradise."
- Pico writes about "The Trouble with Paradise" for the New York Times.
- Pico joined us on Travel with Rick Steves program #586a in October 2022 to share his observations about living in Japan. He also talked about his "Beginner's Guide to Japan" on program #576 in September 2019. Pico spoke with Rick on the art of travel writing on program #656 in November 2021, and described how he was faring in pandemic lockdowns on program #611 in August 2020. Some of his earlier appearances include describing a visit to North Korea on program #412 in July 2015, and his concept of "Nowhere Travels" on #400 in April 2015.
- Jeff Speck is a city planner and urban designer based in the Boston area. His book "Walkable City: How Downtown Can Save America One Step at a Time" has been updated in a tenth anniversary edition. Links that show many of Jeff's city design projects and TED talks are provided on his website.

The ability to use sound, vibration, or light waves to stimulate the nervous system and provide healing and well being. Examples include: Sound baths, EMDR, light therapy, and resonance tools such as the Tuner Pro II. This can be done as a self treatment or with the assistance of a professional.

For decades, the Moravian Church Northern Province has made statements through synod legislation and pastoral letters naming racism as sin, opposing discrimination, affirming that all people are created in the image of God and loved by God. Often these synod resolutions, statements, and letters were in response to specific incidents of racial injustice. Our foundational documents, including the Ground of the Unity and the
Moravian Covenant for Christian Living, condemn racism and discrimination based on color, gender, race, creed, or land of origin.
In 2018, the Synod of the Moravian Church Northern Province directed us to begin the work of dismantling racism in all its forms. In response to this legislation, the Provincial Elders’ Conference named a Racial Justice Team to assist in fulfilling this call to action. Since then, the province and the team have:
1. Listened to the stories and experiences of racism from the clergy of color currently serving in the Northern Province.
2. Planned a pilgrimage toward racial justice and healing for all clergy of the Northern Province for September 2020 that has been postponed to September 2021 due to COVID-19. Bishops, members of the PEC, and the Racial Justice Team journeyed to Montgomery, AL in January 2020 to prepare for the province-wide pilgrimage.
3. Offered “Race: The Power of an Illusion” to 50 clergy and others via an online platform and equipped local parish pastors to lead similar educa tional opportunities for their congregations.
4. Offered a workshop, “Road to Racial Justice” led by Dr. Timothy Berry, for sixty clergy and others in the province.
5. Distributed a bibliography of resources on racial justice for clergy to read or view and share with their congregations.
6. Curated stories of Moravians directly and negatively impacted by racism and white supremacy.
And the system of white supremacy in which we live. We will listen to the pain of our sisters and brothers, acknowledge our complicit or implicit role in this pain, seek a path forward toward reconciliation and healing, and claim the work of racial justice and healing as integral to our identity.
1. Educate our congregations about racism and racial injustice and offer hopeful, helpful ways for white people to be allies in the struggle for racial justice. We will accomplish this through workshops, book studies, and sharing resources available through our website and other media.
2. Extend this education on racial justice and healing to our Christian Education and Sunday School leaders, our professional and volunteer camping staff, and our commissions, committees, and board members who serve in our congregations and who represent us on various agencies and entities of our church. We will urge our District Boards to include training on racism and racial injustice as part of the initial activities of the call process.
3. Invite clergy to deepen their understanding of the injustices of racism through a pilgrimage toward racial justice and healing to Atlanta and Montgomery in September 2021, engage their congregations in prayer for the pilgrimage, and share their experiences when they return. Develop ongoing racial justice and healing pilgrimage opportunities for members throughout the province.
4. Teach the history of the Moravian Church in order to acknowledge and confront our role in slaveholding, racist practices, and our complicity in perpetuating racism. Make existing and new resources and lectures available through online platforms to our congregations and agencies.
5. Conduct a racial justice ‘audit’ at every level of our province toward becoming a racially inclusive and racially just and equitable church that works continuously toward racial justice and healing.
6. Examine provincial financial investment strategies and consider investing in businesses that are racially just, explore how to support businesses in communities that have been marginalized by racism, and encourage congregations, along with provincial and district organizations, to do the same.
7. Develop a deliberate and just plan to start more Moravian Churches and ministries in communities of color.
8. Recruit African Americans for ministry in the Moravian Church. (How is it possible that Mark Breland remains the only ordained African American Moravian clergy?)
9. Commit the funding – from Common Ministries Commitments and other identified funds – to work toward these goals.
10. Pray and urge the province to pray that the work of racial justice and healing takes root in our hearts and by the power of the Holy Spirit transforms our province, its members, congregations, and entities until we truly are beloved community.

Sayed Akber, 51, has spent almost his whole life suffering from physical and mental health issues after being tortured by Myanmar armed forces in Buthidaung, a town in Rakhine state.
It happened when he was a teenager. Akber, 17, was working at his parents’ cultivation land when some soldiers came to his village and set him a laborious task. He refused, and was beaten up and tortured. Akber received severe injuries on his head and body, which left him mentally stunted and physically traumatised.
It was 1991 when that incident occurred. At that time, his parents held white identity cards with “Bengali” written on the back. They, and many other Rohingya, had suffered increased persecution after Myanmar’s Citizenship Law was passed in 1982, which did not recognise the Rohingya as citizens.
In 1992, 228,000 Rohingya fled to Bangladesh from Myanmar. In the following years, the Bangladesh government forced more than 208,000 to be repatriated back to Myanmar, while thousands of Rohingya died in Bangladesh due to the lack of medical care and food. It is estimated that Bangladesh has more than 1 million Rohingya refugees today.
A 2017 report titled “Forced Migration of Rohingya: The Untold Experience” documented the persecution of over 1 million Rohingya, while 114,000 others had been beaten. The UN has also documented mass gang rapes, killings – including of infants and young children – and brutal beatings and disappearances committed by Myanmar state forces.
Akber was later brought to Bangladesh by his family members. They walked for a day to the Myanmar border, and ended up at the makeshift Marisha Tal camp in Cox's Bazar. But even in Bangladesh, he was not able to receive the health care that he needed.
Akber has lost all the memories of Myanmar and even in Bangladesh. He cannot tell of his parents or siblings’ names. Sometimes he would cry, and be aggressive towards his family members. He is very much afraid of the authorities in Bangladesh. He has no ability to work or provide a good future for himself and his family. The trauma has stayed with him for years, and likely for the rest of his life.
He does not share his feelings with others, and displays no interest in most things. He feels more comfortable staying at home in the Bangladesh refugee camp as he always feels stressed out when there are people around him. He only received some minor medical attention recently.
When UNHCR began resettling the Rohingya in Bangladesh between 2006 to 2011, his case was not submitted under the Survivors of Violence and/or Torture category, as well as the Refugees with Medical Needs.
With the Gambia’s genocide suit against the Myanmar government, Ziaur hopes that justice will be brought by the international community. There are still many Rohingya people who live in Myanmar, and face persecution and discrimination daily. Many of them are also locked up in internally displaced camps. Our (Rohingya), hope is that the International Court of Justice case will allow us to return home one day, safely and with dignity.

It’s 8 a.m. on an uncharacteristically drizzly morning in Los Angeles. Inside Milk Studios, there’s a palpable energy as the team comes together for Rose Inc.’s first-ever photo shoot. Makeup artist Katie Jane Hughes and hairstylist Christian Wood sit at a table, poring over folders stuffed with ideas and visual inspiration. Photographer Kai Z Feng pulls up a chair to discuss the overall feel he’s aiming to capture—a more personal view of Rosie. RHW, too, has come prepared: her iPhone’s camera roll is brimming with everything from vintage Vogue beauty shots to color combinations plucked from Ed Ruscha paintings.
After a quick bit of discussion (and a second round of matcha lattes) the team settles on the day’s first look: a peaches-and-cream face with a modern twist. “I love this trend of wearing blush high on the cheekbones,” RHW says. With that, she’s off to the hair and makeup chair, where Millie Machado paints a glossy red manicure (Essie Gel Couture in Drop The Gown) as Wood and Hughes get to work. RHW snaps a few Polaroids, swiftly changes into a killer Oscar de la Renta bustier and pink blazer/trouser combo, then steps in front of the camera. Feng brings it all into focus. And that’s when the magic really begins. Here’s how to re-create a little bit of it for yourself.
To hydrate and prep the skin for makeup, Hughes massaged Dr. Barbara Sturm Face Cream on RHW’s face and neck, adding a bit of Lano 101 ointment where needed. A thin layer of Laura Mercier Bare Radiance Tinted Moisturizer helped even out the skin. Using a large fluffy shadow brush, she used Glossier Stretch Concealer in Medium “for intensified coverage,” plus Rosie for Autograph Amazing Skin Secret Concealer around the eyes, nose, and mouth. Finally, she dusted on translucent powder with a Jenny Patinkin Kitten Paw brush to eliminate shine.
First up: brows, which Hughes enhanced with SUQQU eyeliner pen and a spoolie brush. Next, she used Givenchy Ombre Couture Cream Eyeshadow in Taupe Velours and Rose Dentelle to give eyelids natural-looking dimension. No liner or mascara necessary.
It's kind of an undone lip, to look like she hasn't really don't anything.
Here, Hughes used two shades of Surratt blush—Cherubique and Barbe à Papa—and Nars The Brightener brush to buff color from the apples of RHW’s cheeks upward into her hairline. “Take it a little bit into the hairline, near the forehead, over the eyelids, and a little bit on the shoulders and collar bone,” Hughes says. “If you see color, you’ve gone too far. You should literally just see tone—like a hue shift.” For extra radiance, she dusted cheekbones with the highlighter from Col-Lab Contour and Glow Cream Sculpting Palette. “Use a fan brush to sweep it over with the lightest, featheriest of touches,” she says. “It will look amazing.”
“It’s kind of an undone lip, to look like she hasn’t really done anything,” Hughes says. But of course, Hughes did do a little something. First, she shaded the corners of RHW’s lips with Lorac Pro Matte Lip Color in Greige. Next, she pressed Tom Ford lipstick in First Time into the center of the lip, diffusing outward. And on to hair…
“This hairstyle has a modern Brigitte Bardot vibe,” Wood says. The foundation of the style: a good blowdry. That entailed applying Wella EIMI Sugar Lift Root Spray to damp roots, followed by a splash of Wella Light Luminous Reflective Oil. “Put a drop or two in your hand, warm it up, and run it through all of the hair for a bit of texture and luster,” Wood says.
Then, using an Ibiza round brush, he began to dry RHW’s hair smoothly, moving from the nape of the neck up to the crown. When Wood reached the crown, he directed hair upward while drying. (“That’s to add a bit of volume—or a sex bump, as I like to call it,” he quips.) To create a “sleepy-looking” bang, he sectioned the front of the hair and dried it forward and downward.
After the blowdry, Wood reached for his GHD Curve Soft Curl Iron. Starting at the nape of Rosie’s neck, he gently wrapped hair around the wand and held it for five seconds before releasing. “This gives a loose, soft bend to the hair,” he says. Toward the front, he curled sections away from RHW’s face to give movement and fullness. Using a Mason Pearson bristle brush, he softened and shaped the curls. The finishing touch: Wella EIMI Dry Me dry shampoo on the roots for volume, plus a quick misting of Wella EIMI Stay Firm hairspray to lock down flyaways. A couple of Polaroids later, the day’s first shots were ready to begin.

Welcome to The Consult, your virtual appointment with the world’s most in-demand beauty experts.
If there’s one thing Josh Liu knows, it’s how to create the perfect ponytail. Currently working with the likes of Ariana Grande and Miranda Kerr, the American polymath—who’s of Mexican and Chinese descent—has amassed a loyal clientele over the past few years thanks to his ability to enliven classic styles, from buns to three-strand braids.
Born and raised in the Los Angeles suburb of La Cañada Flintridge, Liu broke into the hair world by training at the Toni & Guy Hairdressing Academy before assisting stylists like Chris Appleton and Rob Talty—but his career actually began while working as a public relations assistant. Gaining daily practice styling his own long hair—which he originally grew out to hide his own body insecurities—he’s since come into his own, both personally and professionally. Now his long, shiny strands are his signature and he’s on the verge of launching his own accessory line called Utiles Beauty, which will offer brushes, hair pins, hair ties, and more.
To celebrate, Rose Inc. tapped Liu for a special, three-part Consult just in time for holiday Zoom calls. Below, he builds on his ponytail protocol to craft a smooth, polished bun.
Step 1: Prep Your Texture
Half-up hair has a reputation for being tricky to pull off, so Liu suggests first finessing your desired texture. “This could be a bedtime ritual for [those] with medium to long hair,” Liu says, noting that a mixture of leave-in conditioner, oil, and hairspray combed through wet strands creates a foolproof wavy hold—but go easy if your hair is fine. Long hair? Once you’ve worked your products through hair, create two braids and allow to dry overnight. “For anyone with long, long hair you can do one braid in the back for a much softer look,” he says. Those with natural waves, coils, or curls can air-dry the bottom half of hair or opt for a twist-out, depending on your desired level of volume.
Step 2: Craft Your Half-Up
Once hair is fully dry you can craft your half pony using Liu’s first segment for guidance. “Blow-dry or smooth out the top half of hair and leave the rest of your texture as it is naturally,” Liu says. You can leave your length loose or follow his second segment for a half-up bun.
...do one braid in the back for a much softer look.
Step 3: Polish Your Length
Now it’s time to wake up your lengths. Shake out waves or curls by misting with water or shaking loose, then smooth ends with a little more product. “I always recommend using Vernon Francis’ Nourishing Water Mist, Leave-In Conditioner, and Styling Cream to reactivate the curls,” he says.

The world today is a world of hectic schedules, appointments, and whatnot. In all these hassles, we often tend to ignore what is good for our emotional, mental, and physical well-being. But with a proper routine of the prerequisites, this could be well avoided.
To understand more, the proper skincare routine is what we are talking about. Imagine a good facial massage and your skin feeling tender and natural after it.
A feeling of pure bliss. And as well known, you look good when you feel good. Having a skin-care routine does only good.
There are several benefits of having a skin-care routine. Maintaining a proper skin-care routine helps prevent acne, slows down the effects of aging, helps remove dead skin cells. It rejuvenates your skin and gives your face a radiant look. You may also try using an anti-aging supplement like Dermal Repair Complex.
A proper skin-care routine should contain the following steps: CLEANSER, TONER, SERUM, MOISTURIZER, SUNSCREEN, EXFOLIATION.
Cleanser – Cleanser removes dead skin cells and other types of dirt from the face. It also helps open up pores for the dirt to get removed easily.
Toner – It is the liquid part of your skin-care routine that penetrates the skin deeper than a cleanser. It removes any impurities that may have been missed by the cleansing agents.
Serum –Serum increases the moisture level in our face and gives the skin a smooth, glowing texture.
Moisturizer – Moisturizers reduce oiliness and extreme dryness. It keeps our skin hydrated and healthy. It is a moisturizing and lubricating agent.
Sunscreen – Sunscreen helps us from the damaging effects of the UV rays. It helps slow down aging. It also helps prevent sunburn.
Exfoliation – Exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells from the outer layer of the skin. To keep the skin healthy, one should exfoliate every once a week.
Various places have made this possible such as the skin clinic Melbourne. However to know the reasons, here is a list of the benefits of maintaining a proper skincare routine that you might be well aware of already.
A proper skincare regime brings stability
Photo Credit: Unsplash
When you are in a calm mind, you tend to believe more in yourself. Eventually, you succeed in whatever work you are into.
For a better start to your day or to relieve any stresses, a good skincare routine could be the escape time for you.
The tender facials are known to release certain hormones that release your tense muscles and give you a soothing sensation.
1. Helps focus on yourself
When you are in some tension, you often forget to pay attention to the vert yourself. This is because you are not in front of any activity that you are into for yourself, taking care of your skin is like flowering the same plant that helps you sustain life.
When you do that you help yourself be the original version of yourself. The glowing skin after some treatment gives a sensation of pride for oneself.
2. Enhances mood
You must have heard of the mood swings that tend to occur to everyone nowadays daily. To understand the solution to the extremes of these mood swings, you must try treating yourself to a good lunch followed by a skincare regime.
This could help your body and mind relax and help bond with your loved ones. This is especially effective in cases of continuous stress.
3. Boosts self-confidence
An effective skin-care routine can boost your self-confidence and self-esteem. However, a poor skin-care routine can lower your confidence and make you appear self-conscious and insecure.
Lack of self-confidence can dissuade you from accomplishing your goals. It can also lead to various mental disorders like anxiety and depression. Thus, maintaining a skin-care routine is a major step towards self-improvement.
4. Protection from environmental pollution
A proper skin-care routine can protect you from environmental pollution by acting as a barrier against these pollutants.
Exposure to harmful ultraviolet radiation of the sun can damage our skin’s tissues and can even increase our chances of having skin cancer. It is extremely helpful to incorporate sunscreen into your daily routine as it can help us from the damaging effects of UV rays.
Dirt particles can also enter our skin through open pores that can lead to rashes, acne, irritants causing allergies.
5. Good for mental health
Self-care is one of the most important aspects of nurturing positive mental health. Positive mental health leads to a positive attitude and positive affect.
Mental health is also closely associated with physical health and overall well-being.
The above benefits of following skincare regimes and a healthy bond with the tender skin must be followed for a peaceful day. The one common factor that most successful individuals have is that they care for their skin every day.
This is irrespective of any gender and must be followed by anyone who feels the need to have good skin.

The main commercial drivers for a company to set up an employee share scheme are, firstly, to attract and retain the best talent available and, secondly, to incentivise that talent to grow and develop the business (often to an exit).
Because employee share schemes do not require the immediate cash outlay of salary or cash bonus payments, they can assist start-up companies, along with those businesses adversely impacted by the pandemic, where cash retention is a key current objective.
The key tax considerations with employee share schemes
The key tax considerations tend to be ensuring:
- Tax liabilities arising on the acquisition of the shares are either minimised or deferred (possibly until sale); and
- Tax liabilities on a sale are minimised.
Tax issues around the acquisition of employee shares
Any difference between the market value of the shares at the date of employee acquisition and the price paid for the shares can result in an employment tax charge. This would be akin to a non-cash bonus and therefore represents a ‘dry tax charge’, as the employee will have no cash proceeds out of which to pay the tax.
In order to mitigate this employment tax risk, some employee share schemes look to reduce the market value of the shares at the date of acquisition (for example, growth share arrangements).
Other employee shares schemes use option arrangements to defer such employment tax charges, as there will generally be no employment tax charge until the option is exercised in the future. If these options are exit-only, the employment tax charge can be deferred until, say, a future sale of the company and therefore funded by the employee out of the sale proceeds received from the subsequent sale of their shares. However, unlike holding shares from the outset, share options do not enable employees to benefit from a dividend income stream.
Tax liabilities on the sale of employee shares
The use of approved employee share schemes can have significant tax advantages for both employees and the employing company, as any growth in value tends to attract lower capital gains tax (CGT) rates (rather than income tax).
There has been recent speculation as to whether the government will look to increase CGT rates to be more in-line with higher income tax rates, and this may well happen at some stage in the future. However, irrespective of the final tax treatment, it is important that directors of companies looking to incentivise employees do not lose sight of the commercial benefits of these employee share schemes to motivate, incentivise and retain key employees. Concerns over possible increased future tax rates should not normally be a reason not to implement these arrangements.
Details of some of the different equity incentive schemes available are set out in our employee share schemes factsheet here. This factsheet includes details of probably the most common equity incentive scheme, the Enterprise Management Incentive (EMI) share option scheme, which is an approved employee share option scheme and has very generous tax breaks.
As well as the tax and commercial aspects of employee share schemes, the valuation of shares is also important. The choice of employee share scheme can be driven by the current market value of the shares, as this will tend to determine the tax risk. Lower company valuations, as a result of the pandemic for example, can therefore make employee shares schemes more attractive for both the employees and the employer.
However, the impact of the pandemic can also result in difficulties and uncertainties in preparing such share valuations, both in terms of determining appropriate multiples (with less deals having taken place, some of which being on a distressed basis, and the volatility of price in listed shares) and the associated impact of the pandemic on determining the level of sustainable earnings. Therefore, instructing a firm with extensive share valuation experience will be more important than ever.
How does an employee benefit from employee share ownership?
Often, value is intended to be returned to the employee on an exit, for example when the underlying shares are sold. But what happens if there is no exit envisaged?
One option is that it may be possible to create an artificial market for the shares acquired under an employee share scheme, possibly via the use of an Employee Benefit Trust to buy shares from the employees, but this can be complex to implement.
Alternatively, a form of cash bonus scheme or phantom share scheme could be used as an alternative to an employee share scheme, as a mechanism to return value to the employee if certain performance thresholds are met. Whilst the returns for the employee from a cash bonus scheme or phantom share scheme are unlikely to be as tax efficient as an approved employee share scheme (they would be subject to PAYE and National Insurance), it is important to reiterative the significant commercial benefits of such arrangements, such asmotivating, incentivising and, ultimately, retaining key employees.
We discussed how employee incentives can help optimise cash retention for businesses in a recent entrepreneurs webinar. You can watch this here.

We also decided that this is the Dutch EUROCUP event for 2014 in the Netherlands. Because of boats traveling to the Worlds 2015 the Guelcher/Loosdrecht event could lack attendants! Further details and the official invitation will be send to you soon. Please inform all your members and publish the correct data and venue on your website?
The NFDO also celebrates its 60 years existence at this event. So we aim for 60 boats the attend. To make that happen a big social program will be part of the event.
So put these dates in your sailing schedule for 2014.

It’s Saturday morning and the temperature this morning is an almost chilly 68 degrees. It’s funny how 68 seems chilly in the summer and yet warm in the winter. How is that…
The cooler temperatures now are making the heat and humidity of a week ago seem like a distant memory. Pandora’s bottom is all nice and white with ALL the bottom paint now gone. Yahoo!!! Given the glacial (to torture the temperature theme just a bit longer) progress of sanding the bottom, it’s hard to believe that it’s done. In the heat, some days, I was only able to do an hour of sanding before I pooped out. I felt like the job would never be done. The one redeeming feature of all that work is that I wasn’t paying someone to do it at $100 an hour.
But now, it’s done and nearly ready to paint. The Pettit paint rep visited Pandora yesterday to survey my work and advise me on next steps in preparing and ultimately painting the bottom. For years I have been using Interlux products, and ablative paints in particular. Unfortunately, I haven’t been particularly happy with the results. Ablative paints are designed to wear away so that there isn’t a nasty buildup over the years. In my case, I found that the paint built up on the under body of the boat and wore away on the bow and up near the waterline. In any event, I have not been happy with the performance of the paint.
Now that the bottom of Pandora, or to put it another way, Pandora’s bottom (Get it, Pandora’s bottom, sort of like Pandora’s box?)… Anyway, now that Pandora’s bottom is white and paint free, the question is what sort of paint to put on. After speaking with the rep and telling him about our sailing in tropical as well as temperate waters, that’s Maine to the Bahamas, he really felt that a hard bottom paint, verses an ablative, would be the way to go.
His reasoning is that Trinidad SR, the SR stands for slime resistance, was the way to go. Being a hard paint, I could also scrub the bottom to my hearts content and not wear it away. He also felt that the paint would last from 18 months to two years, the time that I want to keep Pandora afloat until her next haul out. Well, we will see how that goes. After nearly 30 years of sailing with ablative bottom paints, this will certainly be a change. As I think about the 30-40 hours, perhaps more, of sanding time that I put in over the last few weeks, let’s hope it’s a good decision. Fingers crossed.
Who could ever think that a sanded boat bottom could be beautiful. I guess that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.To me, a beautiful bottom. Isn’t having a great looking bottom what it’s all about?Actually, I should feel pretty pathetic spending hours sweating in the heat when others were out sailing. More importantly, I retired from a job where I was well paid so that I could do manual labor every day. While I was in the midst of the sanding with sweat dripping off of my chin, I had to wonder what the H^$# I was thinking. Now that it’s “done”, I am happy to be in the “manual” part of my life. It’s certainly a whole lot less stressful. Did I mention that on top of everything else, it takes over two hours to cut my lawn? At least I can have more ice cream. Yes, that makes it all worth while, manual labor and ice cream, the perfect combination.
I also spent hours cutting out the three rudder bearings, the nylon sleeves that the rudder stock turns on as they had gotten a bit sloppy, making the rudder clunk in a seaway, over the years. Getting them out was really tough and the mere thought of messing with Pandora’s steering gear made me weak in the knees. There isn’t any system on the boat that is more important than being able to control the boat, that’s for sure. The white plastic sleeve in this photo is the lower bearing. It looks simple enough but it took me hours to cut it out. Now it’s ready for the new bearing.The yard is about finished working on the engine. With over 3,000 hours on the little Yanmar, I decided to have them go over every aspect of the engine to be sure that everything was in tip top shape. They did plenty, based on the bills so far, but I am very pleased with their work. Amazingly, the yard, Brewer’s Marine in Deep River, offered two months of free storage as long as I have them do work on the boat. It seems that they love me so much that that they threw in a free haul and power wash as well. Clearly, they are not as busy in the summer as in the winter. Another reason to spend the winters in the Bahamas, free storage and haul out too. And, all that only three miles from home.
My plan remains to put Pandora back in the water in mid August. After splashing her, we plan to spend a week or so sailing to Block Island and on to Newport where we will take in some of the tourist sites. I can’t wait to be back on the water.
Perhaps I’ll close with a few shots of places that we have visited care of Pandora. In no particular order some special spots.
A little cottage on the shores of Hadley Harbor in Nashon Island near Woods Hole MA. Friends of ours, Toby and Martha Forbes stayed there one summer and we visited them, so many years ago in our little catboat. Indeed, several lifetimes ago for us.Visiting gardens has been a special part of our cruising experiences aboard Pandora. This community vegetable garden, on Fisher’s Island at the eastern end of Long Island Sound, is a special favorite. Perhaps it will be on our itinerary later this month.
Annapolis, and a visit to the Naval Academy Chapel, will be a part of our fall travels. We plan on spending a few weeks cruising the Chesapeake before I run Pandora to Florida.
I am particularly looking forward to special dinners aboard.
And the sunsets, the perfect end to an evening aboard…
And the never ending marshes on the ICW.
Perhaps we will walk out to the lighthouse on Block Island. It’s a beautiful Island. We’ll be there in a few weeks.
I am so looking forward to the magnificent cloud displays of the Bahamas.
And, the turquoise crystal waters and white sandy beaches at every turn. And, who doesn’t like dolphins playing in the bow wave? I am old enough to remember Flipper. The theme song still plays in my head. Better not think about that or it will plague me on a constant loop for the rest of the day. Forgive me… I just had to include the theme song here so you too can be plagued all day with this song in a constant loop. Sorry…
Speaking of clear water, it’s hard to believe that this starfish is actually in the water. I can’t wait to visit 100’+ visibility waters again, and soon.
Well, this reminiscing isn’t getting anything done on Pandora so I’d better sign off for now.
Quick, how does the Flipper theme song go again?

Hilton Hotel, Cape Verde antqiued mirror wall. Collaboration with Kelly Murtagh, Omey Projects art consultancy, Villamoura. www.omeyprojects.com
This project was challenging. Firstly to calculate the overall measurements to arrange 9 very large hand finished Vintage antiqued mirror panels across 5 square metres of wall as well as including incorporating a large Kingfisher design behind the glass. We worked on several mock ups for approval and finally arranging schedule for shipping such large fragile items across to Cape Verde off the African coast. We did it and the hotel lobby looks fantastic. Well done to Kelly.

As the champions of winter compete for their crowns, the throng of spring sports teams take to the field, diamond, pool, court, track and sand.
The spring season features a loaded schedule, with San Clemente High School fielding a whopping 13 spring squads, compared to the seven teams in each of the winter and fall seasons.
Individuals such as returning state swimmers Noah Sech and Madelyn Philips or distance runner Juan Chantaca and the CIF-SS champion boys cross country team will have sectional and state ambitions, while there are three team sports that are showcased in the early-season CIF-SS rankings.
With those goals and expectations in mind, let’s look at some of the top Triton teams in this spring season:
Girls Beach Volleyball
As the sport enters its second season as a CIF-sanctioned sport, girls beach volleyball teams now have something extra to look forward to with their first CIF-Southern Section championship playoffs.
For a sport to warrant CIF-SS playoffs, there must be a minimum of 20% of the section’s member schools to field a team. The Southern Section reached that number this season, so there will be both bracketed team playoffs and a pairs tournament.
With CIF-SS playoffs also come divisional rankings and a preseason watch list. San Clemente is one of a handful of local schools on the initial CIF-SS Division 1 and 2 watch list, including Capistrano Valley Christian, JSerra and St. Margaret’s. Tesoro is the only other South Coast League team that made the watch list with the Tritons.
San Clemente will also feature a full South Coast League schedule this season, which begins on March 8 against Dana Hills at Lasuen Beach, aka Lost Winds. All but two of the Tritons’ league matches will take place at Lasuen Beach, with the exceptions being a road match at Tesoro on March 22 and a match against Aliso Niguel at the Great Park in Irvine on April 11.
League Finals will be contested at Tesoro on April 14-15, with the first round of the CIF-SS team playoffs on April 27. CIF-SS Finals will be on May 5 or 6, and the pairs tournament finals will be May 9-10.
Beach volleyball is contested with five pairs playing best 3-of-5 matches.
After a legendary 22-season run from longtime coach Ken Goldstone, the San Clemente boys volleyball team is now on its second coach in two seasons.
The Tritons are now helmed by head coach Justin DeBlasio, who is the director and owner of 949 Athletics and was previously the head coach at Santa Margarita for 10 seasons. DeBlasio also coached the San Juan Hills boys volleyball team in 2012.
Last season under J Bisch, the Tritons kept up the Goldstone legacy with a 21-12 record overall and a 7-1 record in league play to capture another South Coast League championship.
While the Tritons lose their No. 1 kill combination from last season—the now-graduated pair of setter Landon Seymore and Luke Shanafelt—San Clemente returns several key players, including senior middle Luke Ingersoll, senior opposite Brad Munson and junior libero Kai Schmitt.
San Clemente opens with pair of annually strong-fielded tournaments at Tesoro and the Best of the West. The Tritons will also host Capistrano Valley Christian on March 7, Laguna Hills on March 9, and Laguna Beach on March 14.
San Clemente opens defense of its three consecutive South Coast League titles at home against San Juan Hills on March 16. The Tritons also host key matches against Tesoro on March 21 and Aliso Niguel on March 28.
Of all the spring sports teams at San Clemente, the Tritons girls lacrosse team might be the most talented among them.
San Clemente opens the season at No. 4 in the CIF-SS Division 1 poll, behind No. 3 St. Margaret’s, No. 2 Santa Margarita and No. 1 Foothill. The Tritons are in that top four because nearly all of their top talent from last season’s unbeaten South Coast League champion.
Chief among those returners is San Clemente’s leading scorer Sophia Yeskulsky, who far and away led the Tritons with 62 goals, 70 points and 33 ground balls as a freshman last season. Emma Massamiri returns as the Tritons senior leader with 41 goals and team-highs in assists (15) and caused turnovers (17).
Taylor Juncaj scored 29 goals as a sophomore. Tessa Campbell is a senior with 21 goals last season.
San Clemente’s biggest loss is in the cage, where the Tritons graduated both of their goaltenders.
Expectations for San Clemente should be high with another league title likely in its sights. Last season, the Tritons lost in the first round of the Division 1 playoffs at Santa Margarita, 13-5. Can the Tritons prove themselves against those elite teams?
San Clemente hosts No. 8 Redondo Union on Saturday, Feb. 25, and No. 1 Foothill on Tuesday, Feb. 28. The Tritons play at No. 4 Palos Verdes on March 15. San Clemente opens league play at Aliso Niguel on March 23.
Despite a losing record overall last year and a losing record in Sea View League play, the San Clemente baseball team did what it needed to down the stretch to secure a playoff spot.
It was valuable experience for a team that had plenty of young talent. The spot where seniors made their impact for the Tritons was on the mound, and it will be the spot San Clemente needs the most work.
One of those players helping on the mound was one of the Tritons’ top hitters last season, Rhyn Chambers. Chambers, a senior, drove in 15 runs and scored 15 runs on 26 hits, including two home runs.
San Clemente’s leading batter from last season returns in senior Chase Brunson, who led the Tritons with 19 runs and 30 hits, including 10 doubles and two triples. Other top returning hitters include juniors Brock DellaVedova and Pearce Brown.
On the mound, San Clemente will get contributions from senior Hayden Dill and junior Carson Nicholson.
San Clemente opens league play at Aliso Niguel on March 7 and hosts the Wolverines on March 15.

We have several options for exciting boat trips that can be added to any tailor-made holiday to Sao Tome and Principe.
It’s great fun to spot flying fish and dolphin as you move! On Sao Tome, our top recommendations are to take the boat over to the islet of Rolas where you can walk to the equator mark and stay the night at the Pestana Equador. Other favourites are to join a trip to Santana islet for some deep water snorkelling, or take a boat to the beautiful blue lagoon ‘Lagoa Azul’ where you can swim and snorkel in the turquoise waters.
On Principe, boat trips take you along the green, forested coast to breath-taking deserted beaches nestled in tiny bays. On these outings you have the opportunity to jump overboard at the best snorkelling spots and become immersed in the colourful underwater world. Or venture to the ‘Bay of Needles’, so-called because of the phonolite towers that rise from the skyline. These trips give you an unparalleled opportunity to experience nature in its purest state.

We get a lot of great feedback from satisfied clients who enjoy the many benefits of having a gate system for their homes. It provides security, makes the perimeter look better, and even lowers insurance costs. Check out these six amazing benefits of installing a driveway gate on your residential property.
Benefits of Installing a Residential Gate
Gate systems, especially automated ones with surveillance cameras, are a terrific way to deter petty criminals. You’ve probably heard of the security value of having a light around your home. Residential gates are an even better deterrent.
Do you live on a road with lots of passing cars or foot traffic? Gates and fences are an effective way to regain privacy for your home. They’re also useful for shooing away all the solicitors you don’t want.
Increased Property Value
Gate installation is a lucrative way to boost home value. It’s about on par with adding a new room, a swimming pool, or some other renovation task. Prospective home buyers see the value in home security systems and will pay more for a home that has one.
You should browse through our selected work section to see how much a new gate can augment your exterior aesthetic. There are so many design schemes and choices. It’s easy to find an outstanding gate that would complement your home’s roof, siding, driveway, windows, doors, and so forth.
Convenient Entry Control
Access control systems are a big selling point for residential and commercial property owners alike. Of course, you want the ability to regulate who enters your home without running into a technology snafu and getting locked out of your house. Fortunately, today’s gate models are easy to troubleshoot with keypads, and fobs, and many of them take advantage of Wi-Fi and the Cloud network.
Lower Insurance Costs
Most insurance companies will lower your premiums if you have exterior lighting and/or a gate system. Therefore, this is a great investment that will lead to savings on home insurance.
If you think about it, most of these benefits apply equally well to commercial gate systems as well. Sarasota Gate & Access would enjoy helping you realize these benefits with our residential installation services. We can install, test, and do repair work for all the popular gates and gate openers. You can find out more about gate brands and installation service by calling us at 941-349-4455.

Against required masks
July 22, 2020
Open Letter to Jim Copeland, Superintendent of School District #2.
Recent orders requiring students to wear masks has been circulating and as a concerned citizen of this Valley, here are scientific studies showing the extreme adverse effects of mask wearing, especially by children.
To wear a mask or not is a highly emotional subject, so I am not giving my opinion, I am quoting scientific data to remove the emotional aspect.
These articles were taken from www.childrenshealthdefense.org. This is an organization created and ran by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
“Face masks should be used only by individuals who have symptoms of respiratory infection such as coughing, sneezing, or, in some cases, fever.
Face masks should also be worn by healthcare workers, by individuals who are taking care of or are in close contact with people who have respiratory infections, or otherwise as directed by a doctor. Face masks should not be worn by healthy individuals to protect themselves from acquiring respiratory infection because there is no evidence to suggest that face masks worn by healthy individuals are effective in preventing people from becoming ill. Face masks should be reserved for those who need them because masks can be in short supply during periods of widespread respiratory infection.
Because N95 respirators require special fit testing, they are not recommended for use by the general public.” (Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA); April 21, 2020 Volume 323, Number 15 https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2762694)
A recent careful examination of the literature, in which 17 of the best studies were analyzed, concluded that, “None of the studies established a conclusive relationship between mask/respirator use and protection against influenza infection.” (bin-Reza F et al. The use of mask and respirators to prevent transmission of influenza: A systematic review of the scientific evidence. Resp Viruses 2012;6(4):257-67. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5779801/)
Even more disconcerting are the following facts in regard to the harmful effect of healthy individuals wearing masks.
“By wearing a mask, the exhaled viruses will not be able to escape and will concentrate in the nasal passages, enter the olfactory nerves and travel into the brain.” Article by Russell Blaylock M.D., published May 14, 2020 in Technocracy News & Trends.
Dr. Blaylock is a prominent retired neurosurgeon and author of health-related books.
“We know that people who have the worst reactions to the coronavirus have the highest concentrations of the virus early on. And this leads to the deadly cytokine storm in a selected number.” (Blaylock: Face Masks Pose Serious Risks To The Healthy; https://www.technocracy.news/blaylock-face-masks-pose-serious-risks-to-the-healthy/)
Wearing a face can cause headaches and reduce oxygen levels- A recent study involving 159 healthcare workers aged 21 to 35 years of age found that 81 percent developed headaches from wearing a face mask … That is, a reduction in blood oxygenation (hypoxia) or an elevation in blood CO2 (hypercapnia). It is known that the N95 mask, if worn for hours, can reduce blood oxygenation as much as 20 percent. And proper oxygenation of the blood is essential for energy, mental clarity, focus and emotional well-being. (Ong JJY et al.
“Hypercapnia, the elevation of carbon dioxide (CO2) in blood and tissues, commonly occurs in severe acute and chronic respiratory diseases, and is associated with increased risk of mortality. Recent studies have shown that hypercapnia adversely affects innate immunity, host defense, lung edema clearance and cell proliferation. Airway epithelial dysfunction is a feature of advanced lung disease … These changes in gene expression indicate the potential for hypercapnia to impact bronchial epithelial cell function in ways that may contribute to poor clinical outcomes in patients with severe acute or advanced chronic lung diseases.”
Mr. Copeland, as superintendent of our school district, with the well being of our children being your upmost concern and goal, why are you mandating masks? As stated by these above articles, it is HARMFUL for healthy people to wear masks.

Saratoga Forest Products gives back to the community
Providing jobs and firewood
August 31, 2023
Warmth from a wood stove is a comfort and a necessity to many in the Valley. Thanks to the generosity of Saratoga Forest Products (SFP), “The Mill”, many families will stay warm this winter. Every year Gary Ervin, the owner of SFP offers free firewood to anyone willing to go load it up. This year got off to a rough start due to some issues with bags of garbage being left at the site, prompting Ervin to shut access down for a time. The area is opened up again and at times there is a line waiting for access to the wood piles.
Ervin also has a special program for seniors 70 and older. On Friday’s from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. until the end of September this program will be open to Platte Valley residents only. There is a pile of wood on the property with easy access. Those wanting to take advantage of this will need to stop at the office and show identification for access.
Just a little over ten years ago smoke from the stacks on the kilns at the mill was a welcome sign to the locals, proof that the mill was back in operation. After sitting idle for ten years, the new owners took ownership and soon the mill was up and running.Over the past decade, the Ervins generosity has been felt throughout the community. Offering job opportunities, lumber and firewood has made them an essential part of the Valley.

SASEC Energy Meetings
8-9 Apr 2016
Two SASEC energy sector meetings, the (i) Regional Workshop on Technical and Regulatory Challenges in Cross-Border Electricity Transmission Interconnections and (ii) Inter-governmental Meeting on the Progress of the SASEC Cross-Border Electricity Transmission Master Plan, were held on 8-9 April 2016 in New Delhi, India to promote coordinated and harmonious development of cross-border power interconnections to enable expanded regional power trading in the SASEC subregion.
On 8 April, the Regional Workshop on Technical and Regulatory Challenges in Cross-Border Electricity Transmission Interconnections highlighted the importance of enhanced cooperation among SASEC member countries in addressing technical and regulatory issues concerning cross-border power interconnection and trade. The Meeting discussed
- Technical and regulatory challenges and possible solutions on issues affecting ongoing efforts in interconnecting electricity transmission networks in SASEC countries;
- SASEC member countries' perspective, including the technical and regulatory point of view, on relevant cases of cross-border power interconnections, including Bangladesh-India, Bhutan-India, India-Nepal, and India-Sri Lanka interconnections; and
- Other subregional economic cooperation cases in the Greater Mekong Subregion, supported by the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
On 9 April, the Inter-governmental Meeting on the Progress of the SASEC Cross-Border Electricity Transmission Master Plan—which is being conducted to ensure smooth cross-border transmission infrastructure planning and implementation—focused on moving the study forward, to enable SASEC countries to gain maximum economic benefits from an interconnected regional power system. The Meeting discussed
- Model approaches used in analyzing the optimum network of cross-border interconnections to maximize region-wide benefits from power trading;
- How the Study's timely and practical recommendations could provide more relevant technical and operational guidance to power sector officials; and
- Additional data and other requirements needed to complete the regional power system modeling analysis.
The Master Plan, overseen by the SASEC Electricity Transmission Utility Forum, is under development following agreement of the SASEC Energy Working Group meetings held in Bangkok, Thailand in 2011, and Thimphu, Bhutan in November 2012, and includes the request of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation Energy Working Group to include all South Asian member countries.
The SASEC Energy Meetings were chaired by Mr. Ghanshyam Prasad, Director of the Ministry of Power of India, and attended by senior officials from energy/power agencies and other relevant institutions of SASEC countries, as well as staff and consultants of ADB.

The BBC and R&A have agreed to let Sky take over live coverage of The Open Golf Championship a year earlier than planned.
Citing “challenging financial savings targets”, the BBC’s Director of Sport Barbara Slater said that following the news that Sky had won the live rights for The Open from 2017, the decision to amend the contract from next year “was a pragmatic one.”
“In an ideal world, the BBC would still be the home of live coverage of The Open”, she added.
The move means that there will be no further live coverage of The Open on the BBC.
Sky will begin showing the event from next year, with the BBC showing two hours of prime-time highlights each night.

Senator Rob Portman of Ohio has flipped on the issue of gay marriage, going from opposing it to embracing it in the pages of the Columbus Dispatch. What turned his head on the issue was the fact that one of his children is gay:
Two years ago, my son Will, then a college freshman, told my wife, Jane, and me that he is gay. He said he’d known for some time, and that his sexual orientation wasn’t something he chose; it was simply a part of who he is. Jane and I were proud of him for his honesty and courage. We were surprised to learn he is gay but knew he was still the same person he’d always been. The only difference was that now we had a more complete picture of the son we love.
Senator Portman also invoked a Republican icon as justification. “Ronald Reagan said all great change in America begins at the dinner table, and that’s been the case in my family.” He concluded:
I’ve thought a great deal about this issue, and like millions of Americans in recent years, I’ve changed my mind on the question of marriage for same-sex couples. As we strive as a nation to form a more perfect union, I believe all of our sons and daughters ought to have the same opportunity to experience the joy and stability of marriage.
Several years ago I also had a change of heart on this position. I began to wonder why it was, specifically, that I opposed gay marriage in the first place. I came to realize that I was in opposition just because I thought that’s what was expected of conservatives. But upon closer examination, I concluded that placing the government has a barrier to a social contract between two consenting adults isn’t in keeping with limited government values.
How can conservatives and Republicans generally say they’re for limited government when we place a government restriction on something as private and intimate as marriage? If we truly believe in limited government, shouldn’t we admit that questions such as the morality of homosexuality and gay marriage should be settled in our churches and communities and not by the government? Churches, or any other organization, that want to marry gays should be allowed to do so. Churches and organizations that don’t want to marry gays, or recognize gay marriages, shouldn’t have to.
Kudos to Senator Portman for being a leader in the Republican party on this issue. It’s high time Republicans moved out of the woods on this social issue. Not just because it will make conservatism and Republicans more palatable to a wider audience, though it will, but because it’s the right thing to do consistent with the limited government philosophy Republicans are supposed to embrace.

There’s never Monday Night Football in the last week of the NFL season. This year, the NFL won’t hold a Sunday night game in Week 17, either. Every contest will happen in either the 1 p.m. or 4:25 p.m. ET time slot, a league spokesman said Sunday.
The NFL’s senior vice president of broadcasting, Howard Katz, said the move came from a “competitive standpoint and a fan perspective” and was “the most fair thing to do.”
In the past, the league has spotlighted a huge matchup on Sunday Night Football to close the regular season. Games that have fit into that slot have often been de facto division championship games, where the winner moves to the playoffs and the loser’s season ends. There’s no matchup quite that simple this year, however. Instead, there are a bunch of teams jockeying for position with other teams that they’re not playing.
This is a rare thing, though. Sunday night finales to the regular season are a thing.
The NFL announced there will not be a Sunday night game next week.— ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) December 25, 2017
The last time the NFL regular season didn't end with a night game was 1977 - the last season under the 14-game schedule
The NFL’s doing the right thing here, as much as it’s a shame not to have a marquee way to close the season in primetime. The way the NFL’s set the schedule, the bulk of the teams whose Week 17 results’ affect each other are playing at the same time. That means every potentially meaningful game will stay that way through at least kickoff.
It wouldn’t have been much fun, for instance, for the Bills to play the Dolphins in primetime. As it stands, Buffalo has at least a chance to grab an AFC wild card spot. Because the Bills will play at the same time as the other three teams in contention for those spots, it’s certain that the game will still have potential relevance when it starts.
This was the right thing to do. It’ll make more games more fun.

LOWELL, Mass. -- Good evening and welcome inside Tsongas Center at UMass Lowell where, on this Friday night, the No. 7 River Hawks open their 50th season against No. 5 Minnesota Duluth. Faceoff for the first half of a two-game weekend series is set for 7:15 p.m.
Both teams return nine of their top 12 scorers this season, but neither side has a starting goaltender with more than two games of collegiate experience after UML's Kevin Boyle graduated and Duluth's Kasimir Kaskisuo signed with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
In Lowell's case, junior C.J. Smith and senior Joe Gambardella were top scorers a year ago, combining for 76 points, and senior Dylan Zink paced the defense corps with 11 of his 24 points going for goals. Junior John Edwardh led the way with a goal and two assists in Sunday's 7-0 exhibition win over Prince Edward Island, a game in which seven different River Hawks found the back of the net.
All three of UMD's netminders are freshmen, and it was Hunter Miska who earned the start in both games against Michigan Tech last weekend. The Bulldogs swept their season-opening series with 6-0 and 4-3 wins, thanks to offensive contributions from 18 different players. Second-year defenseman Neil Pionk posted a three-point series, while senior Kyle Osterberg was the only Bulldog to score twice.
Here are tonight's lines:
Kyle Osterberg - Dominic Toninato - Karson Kuhlman
Alex Iafallo - Adam Johnson - Billy Exell
Jade Miller - Jared Thomas - Joey Anderson
Blake Young - Sammy Spurrell - Will Campion
Carson Soucy - Willie Raskob
Neal Pionk - Brenden Kotyk
Nick Wolff - Dan Molenaar
RIVER HAWKS (0-0-0)
Connor Wilson - Nick Master - Jake Kamrass
C.J. Smith - Joe Gambardella - John Edwardh
Ryan Dmowski - Ryan Lohin - Chris Forney
Guillaume Leclerc - Evan Campbell - Kenny Hausinger
Mattias Goransson - Tyler Mueller
Dylan Zink - Michael Kapla

The Lumen at Playhouse Square
The Lumen represents the transition of Playhouse Square from an entertainment-focused theater district into an urban mixed-use neighborhood. The residential project, the largest in Cleveland in 40+ years, introduces a new building typology, materiality, and architectural style to the neighborhood.
The 34-story tower is composed of three stacked masses that mirror the scales of the neighborhood. Each mass shifts slightly outward, as if to step into the street and participate in the liveliness of the district. By day, the all-glass tower reflects the surrounding historic masonry buildings. At night, the lights from within the residences carry the street level activity of Euclid Avenue upwards, creating a beacon for the district that is visible from downtown. Inspired by the theaters surrounding the site, the garage façade is an undulating metal screen that mimics a stage curtain. In the evening, it is illuminated with projections of current and upcoming shows and performances.
The building includes 318 apartment units, ranging from studios to three-bedroom units, and 20,000 square feet of resort-quality amenity space including an outdoor pool, BBQ/firepit area, and a sky lounge and terrace with panoramic views of the city and Lake Erie. The building is targeting LEED Silver.

Medicine is a unique profession; a life and death calling for many doctors, but for most also a hard-nosed business with little margin for error. Physician contracts reflect the profession’s special status, and the conflicting pressures on employers who want to attract and keep top talent, but also want to pay as little, and retain as much termination autonomy as possible. Especially for younger doctors about to take their first real job, understanding and navigating contractual intricacies can pose a daunting challenge. The following are some common pitfalls to keep in mind.
How long will the job last?
Many doctors assume that a contract with a specified duration, or “term,” means they have a job for the length of the term. Beware the details, however. If the contract contains an “at-will” clause, or a provision that allows the employer to terminate without any reason after giving notice, the job guarantee is most likely totally illusory, and no longer than the specified notice period. The “term” effectively means only that so long as the doctor continues to work for the employer during the term period, the contract will govern his or her compensation and benefits. So, buying a house based on the assumption a job will last two or three years (or whatever the term might be) might not be the wisest decision.
What are the employment rules and benefits?
Oftentimes a contract doesn’t spell out specific workplace rules. Instead, the doctor simply agrees to conform to all rules and regulations the employer might adopt from time to time. Likewise, benefits like parenting leave may be specified in places other than the contract. Thus, a doctor might want review such extrinsic documents before signing on the bottom line, and might want to incorporate them explicitly into the contract.
Warnings and the right to cure minor problems?
Loss of a medical license or privileges at a hospital may make it impossible for a doctor to continue working, and termination for such issues should come as no surprise. What about failure to enter time into the employer’s system, however, or submitting expense reports a few days late? If a contract makes such minor infractions grounds for termination, the doctor should have a chance to fix, or “cure” the problem before losing his or her job.
Limitations on post-employment work?
Most physician contracts include provisions that limit what jobs a former doctor can take for some time (perhaps as much as two years) after leaving an employer. Similarly, a contract may prohibit a departing doctor from soliciting patients, or former colleagues. Such provisions warrant careful review to make sure they’re not too onerous. For example, a doctor terminated without any cause or alleged breach of a contract should not face the same non-compete limits as a doctor who resigns to seek a better-paying job.
Who pays for the tail?
Most contracts include some kind of malpractice insurance, but doctors should pay special attention to how it actually would work. If it’s on what’s called a “claims made” basis, it won’t cover a doctor for malpractice allegedly occurring while working for the employer if the claim is made after the doctor has moved on to a different job. That liability “tail” can follow a doctor for several years, typically until the statute of limitations has run on potential claims.
The foregoing questions are some of the major considerations a doctor should address before accepting a new job. Because the red flag contract provisions often appear in unexpected places within a contract, consultation with a lawyer before signing is always a prudent step.

Blog: Accountant in Bankruptcy budget slashed by a third
The Scottish Budget for 2016-17, announced by John Swinney, contains a cut of a third in the Accountant in Bankruptcy budget.
David Menzies, director of insolvency at ICAS, examines how this will impact its services.
The Scottish Government draft budget for 2016-17 has been announced by Finance Secretary John Swinney. While many of the headlines will focus on the maintenance of the Scottish Rate of Income Tax and preservation of front line services, tucked away in the detailed budget documentation is the impact on other services.
Chapter 5 contains detail on Finance, Constitution and the Economy and the budgets for secondary Scottish Government Agencies. This reveals that the budget for the Accountant in Bankruptcy (AiB) is to be slashed by 1/3 in 2016-17 from £1.8m to £1.2m, a reduction of £600,000.
While the Agency has made great strides in recent years to achieve a balanced budget, the loss of a third of its budget is bound to have a dramatic impact.
The Agency has incurred significant cost in recent years developing new IT systems such as BASYS and ASTRA, and with legislative changes delivered in 2015 AiB Chief Executive Dr Richard Dennis said at the ICAS Insolvency and Restructuring Conference that he did not expect any significant new legislative changes in the foreseeable future. Some of the budget reduction will therefore no doubt be able to be absorbed through a reduction in capital expenditure.
The most recently published AiB accounts (2014-15) show an operating surplus for the year of just over £800,000. So should the budget cut should be entirely manageable?
Well perhaps not. The Agency has an ever increasing staff cost with headcount up from 137 to 151. The staff budget accounts for over a third of total operating costs. The Scottish Government has a policy of no statutory redundancies and therefore headcount reduction is difficult to achieve other than through natural wastage.
Personal insolvency numbers are at an historical low in recent years and that should mean less work (and cost) for the AiB. However, of course the reduction in work and costs takes time to flow through. The result is as well as the budget cut the AiB income is expected to decline at the same time – a double whammy.
Household debt continues to rise according to recent economic updates and therefore it could be reasonably expected that the number of insolvencies will finally take an upward direction in the foreseeable future.
The AiB workload has increased as a result of changes brought in through BADAS and with functions transferred from the Courts. While the AiB fees for that function were slightly lower than the equivalent court fees the question now is how long can that position be maintained.
In all likelihood it is expected that fees payable to the AiB by debtors and trustees will have to increase. A significant burden of that increase will of course end up on the insolvent estates and reduce returns to creditors, with a resultant impact on businesses and the economy.
We are already concerned about the 17.5 per cent AiB charges for auditing trustee remuneration. In many instances the cost to the insolvent estate simply does not reflect the time that the AiB will have spent carrying out the audit. Cases have been seen where the AiB audit charge is substantially higher than the fee the trustee gets for administering the whole sequestration. This needs to be urgently addressed by budget cuts will make this difficult for the AiB to address.
Perhaps now is the time to reconsider the AiB functions. The supervisory function of the AiB was enshrined in legislation prior to the modern insolvency licensing and regulatory model. It may be the case that now is the time to reappraise this. The UK has a world class regulatory function and it no longer seems necessary for the AiB to supervise trustees when this function is ably carried out by recognised professional bodies under the oversight of the Insolvency Service.
We look forward with interest to see how the AiB will seek to deal with the substantial reduction in budget.

Is a list of figures and tables mandatory?
Lists of figures and tables are often not required, and aren’t particularly common. They specifically aren’t required for APA-Style, though you should be careful to follow their other guidelines for figures and tables.
If you have many figures and tables in your thesis or dissertation, include one may help you stay organized. Your educational institution may require them, so be sure to check their guidelines.

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (AP) — Jeb Bush emerged from the third Republican debate as a candidate in crisis, with supporters struggling to understand why he keeps underperforming and advisers promising a turnaround before it’s too late.
Campaigning in New Hampshire Thursday, Bush insisted his White House bid was “not on life support.”
Still, advisers concede November will be his campaign’s most crucial period to date, a stark contrast to their previous assertions that Bush was best-positioned to outlast rivals in a long campaign. Millions of dollars in TV advertising must start yielding stronger poll numbers, advisers say, and Bush himself must find a way to stop being overshadowed by competitors in the large GOP field.
“The intensity is going to increase,” declared Sally Bradshaw, Bush’s senior adviser.
To some supporters, that may ring hollow on the heels of Bush’s lackluster performance in Wednesday night’s debate. Aides have spent weeks promising more forceful performances from the bookish former Florida governor, only to see him repeatedly fall flat.
The contrast between expectations and reality was particularly striking on the debate stage in Colorado. Bush appeared to land a sharp jab on friend and political mentee Marco Rubio, suggesting the senator should resign if he’s going to keep skipping votes on Capitol Hill while he campaigns for president. But Bush was glaringly ill-prepared for Rubio’s sharp comeback and quickly faded into the background for the rest of the two-hour contest.
It was a painful moment for a candidate once seen as the GOP’s best hope for reclaiming the White House. And it deepened concerns about a campaign that less than a week ago was forced to drastically cut its payroll, travel costs and other expenses amid slower-than-expected fundraising.
“He was poorly served by whatever campaign adviser told him to go down that path with Marco,” said Brian Ballard, a major fundraiser for both Bush’s campaign and super PAC. “It’s not the kind of ideas campaign that he has promised.”

- Proud Boy who disappeared ahead of his Jan. 6 sentencing was found unconscious by agents at his home
Ballard said he still believes Bush would be the most capable commander in chief of anyone in the race, but he acknowledged he is “really worried” about the campaign trajectory.
Bush’s finance team was fielding so many calls from worried donors in the hours after the debate that a special briefing was hastily scheduled Thursday afternoon. After Bush made small talk about his trip to New Hampshire, Bradshaw began by addressing the debate head-on, telling donors, “It was not our best night.”
As part of the campaign’s fall revamp, Bush is moving staff out of his Miami headquarters and into early voting states, particularly New Hampshire. The shift ramps up pressure for him in the first-in-the-nation primary, making it essentially a make-or-break state for his campaign.
Aides say Bush will spend longer stretches of time there, including a bus tour next week. While he still plans to hold town hall-style meetings, he’ll also add more informal events to his schedule, such as stops at VFW halls for beer and lengthy discussions with veterans.
Bush also plans to release a book that chronicles his time as Florida governor through email correspondence with constituents, another move aimed at helping personalize the son of one president and brother of another.
Supporters in New Hampshire welcome the promise of more campaign resources in their state, but they aren’t ready to declare the new strategy the answer to the candidate’s problems.
“People are sitting on it and watching to see how it evolves,” said Carlos Gonzalez, a New Hampshire state representative and Bush backer.
Another key to Bush’s turnaround strategy, according to aides, is getting a return on his team’s early investment in television advertising. Right to Rise USA, the main outside group backing Bush, has spent $14.7 million on ads in New Hampshire, Iowa and South Carolina, and has reserved an additional $30 million in television time through the first week of February.
Advisers say the biographical TV spots have improved Bush’s image, especially in New Hampshire, where the campaign’s internal polls show more than half of voters now have a favorable impression of him.
At some point, his super PAC is expected to air advertising critical of other Republicans in the race, especially Rubio, who is seen as the top challenger for Bush’s share of the GOP establishment. However, officials with the group would not say when such ads might begin to air.
Campaign and super PAC officials insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the internal planning.
As he travels through New Hampshire and other early states, aides say, Bush will argue that his record in Florida, including cutting taxes, balancing the budget and managing the state through eight hurricanes, best prepares him for the demanding job of president. In a campaign season where voters are voicing frustration with Washington, he’ll be cast as a problem solver who can get the nation’s capital on track.
As part of that message, Bush’s campaign tested a new slogan at the event in New Hampshire Thursday: “Jeb Can Fix It.”
Anxious Bush supporters can only hope that’s the case.
Pace reported from Washington and Beaumont from Boulder, Colo. AP writer Julie Bykowicz contributed from Washington.

The Needle, Rarotonga
Medium fitness level required.
Each time we circled the Island of Rarotonga, I peered up at the bare rock poking out of the mountain peaks known as The Needle. Named Te Rua Manga in Cook Island Maori, it reaches 413m above sea level. It’s not the highest point on the Island but it’s definitely noticeable among the peaks in the centre of the Island. The intrigue was too strong to not want to hike to the top. Deciding to climb that very mountain, we planned to head off early the next morning before the heat of the day kicked in.
Waking easily at 6am we caught a beautiful sunrise before getting in the car to drive to the free early morning activity we didn't want to miss. It had been raining the previous day and we were hoping the climb was going to be ok, completely unaware of what to expect. All we wanted was to head inland to explore the lush interior.
Even though there are walking guides available we chose to save money and have a free hiking adventure of our own. Finding the starting point was easy enough after reading directions on an online forum.
FINDING THE STARTING POINT
-At the round about near the Avatiu Harbour in Avarua, head inland.
-Follow Avatiu Rd, crossing over Ara Metua to continue on as Uruau Dr.
-Follow this until you reach the end of the road for cars.
-This is marked by a sign where you park your car and begin your walk up the path.
-You'll cross a small stream as you begin to walk into the scrub.
-Take the path that leads beside the huge boulder.
-Here you will begin the steep climb to The Needle.
-Look for and follow the orange triangle track markers to confirm you're on the right track.
-Be cautious and stay safe!
We were the first to arrive and parked our rental car at the end of the road to start our adventure on foot. We headed off using mostly our instincts until we spotted our first triangle marker on a tree to confirm we were on the right track.
After disappearing into the canopy of trees you quickly begin to incline. Sturdy trees to hold and exposed entwined tree roots provide for easier footing helping you get past the steepest parts of the climb. In some parts you’ll be walking on a ridge as narrow as 60cm wide with steep drops either side. Other parts were quite wide and a bit easier to tackle.
Thankfully the ground wasn’t too wet for our hike although it was borderline for doing so. Any wetter underfoot and it would have made climbing dangerous.
Half way into our hike, we were met by a friendly rooster who joined us for the rest of the climb. It was almost like he was guiding us and I have no doubt he had done this many times before. I wonder how many other hikers have met this rooster.
A steady paced climb to the top took us just over 1 hour. Climbing 1.5km as far as the base of The Needle, we decided not to climb the final rock summit and instead share our time with Mr Rooster and the gorgeous morning views over Avarua, a part of the lagoon and beyond out over the Pacific Ocean. If you decide to go to the very top, use the ropes and chains around the rock to complete the climb.
Breathing in the fresh air and views at the top of the mountain lasted for about half an hour. In this time we took photos, watched the morning clouds lift and Mr Rooster wandered off to continue on with his day of foraging.
Our mountain descent took just as long as the climb but was made easier by the thin trees to grab and the tree roots make perfect steps for going downhill.
We set off at 6:30am and returned to our car just over 2.5 hours later. Our hike took us back to where we started but you do have the option to continue the hike down the other side of the mountain to end up coming out at Papua Waterfall if you prefer a change of scenery and a bit more of a challenge to cover more ground and see more of Rarotonga.
Wear sturdy footwear as this track is not for thongs. Don’t forget to take a backpack and bottle of water on your hike and a camera to capture your adventure in the middle of Rarotonga. Enjoy the view and hopefully you’ll meet Mr Rooster on the way ;)
This activity is highly recommended by me! It’s one of my favourite Free things to do while visiting Rarotonga. Wake up early, catch a sunrise, get some exercise and conquer that peaked mountain while capturing your achievement with photos of fantastic views.
A must do while visiting Rarotonga!
