Soitec looking to attract new talent – creating 100 new jobs
Semiconductor materials specialist, Soitec, is continuing its growth path and launches a company-wide job creation program called ELEVATE.
In the first phase, Soitec aims to recruit 100 new high potentials in engineering and technology, operations and management at its headquarters and production facilities in Bernin (Grenoble), France. A second phase of ELEVATE will be rolled out in Singapore where the company currently employs more than 160 people and where the company is looking to ramps up its production and operations. The company currently employs 1’660 people worldwide today, 1’460 of them in France and nearly one quarter in innovation and engineering. Soitec intends to complete the new hirings in France by the end of its current fiscal year in March 2021. “We launch ELEVATE to attract a large variety of talents and support the substantial growth that we experience,” says Paul Boudre, CEO of Soitec, in a press release. “Our strengths in technology and our productivity are built on the qualification of our people and our proximity to customers and markets. With ELEVATE, we give a perspective to a new generation of professionals and show how a French high-tech company with global reach can strengthen its home base, generate growth and create highly valuable jobs.” | <urn:uuid:14d3dc4f-f985-4155-b4c6-f688d896ceb1> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://evertiq.com/design/49373 | 2023-09-27T13:05:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.950374 | 293 |
Now you should all remember Herbert. He's the little chap from the Week family whose ineptitude became world renowned in Everyone's a Wally. In this game Herbert has become separated from his Mum and Dad during a visit to the local department store. It is up to you, the player to guide him back to his parents who are waiting for him in the 'LOST AND FOUND' department.
The game begins with Herbert in the toy department at 1 pm: the store closes at 5.30 and you have four and a half hours to reunite Herbert with his parentals, since the game is played in real time. In both style and presentation Herbert's Dummy Run is similar to Everyone's a Wally, which is not surprising as it's the third game in the Wally trilogy! Dummy Run is a graphical adventure game that calls for a high degree of arcade skill as well as a degree of lateral thinking. The opening screen is typical of the game: Herbert finds himself standing on a box in the toy department; you notice at the top of the screen a series of shelves loaded with a wide variety of toys. How can Herbert reach up there? Well of course the box he's standing on is a Jack-in-the-box, and when the key has been fetched the spring action will propel him up onto the shelf.
As with the other Wally games, many of the screens take the form of well known arcade games. One screen can only be solved by dismantling a wall, 'Breakout' style - if you manage this the resultant pat on the head is well deserved.
The game would be too easy if you could pick up and carry every object that you came across. Only being able to carry two objects at a time forces you to do a little forward thinking. At the top of the screen you are reminded of what objects are in your possession - the one that you have had for the longest is automatically exchanged for another 'collectable' piece as you walk past it. As you explore the store looking for the ways and means to solve the game you are under constant pressure from a wide variety of mobile 'thingies'. You have three lives and when you come into contact with some of the nasties your energy, shown by a large tear that fills up, will be reduced until you escape the meanies, or lose that life. A few mobiles kill immediately on contact so you will have to learn to identify them quickly. You are able to reverse the drain on your energy by eating the sweets found scattered around the store.
For his efforts, Herbert is rewarded with his favourite jelly babies, and the closer he is to finding his parents the more he will get. ALl told the game extends for over twenty-five screens, but don't expect Herbert to get fat on jelly babies too soon! | <urn:uuid:099937da-849d-4cb0-a589-605ac207a514> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://everygamegoing.com/larticle/Herberts-Dummy-Run-000/19950/ | 2023-09-27T12:12:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.983353 | 575 |
If you are looking for a way to infuse some Christmas spirit into your life, visiting the Garden Theatre for their rendition of “A Christmas Story” might just hit the spot. The play follows the storyline of the 1983 hit film that becomes a popular watch on television this time of year.
Seeing the iconic scenes acted out in front of you on stage will bring joy to anyone. The memory play follows Ralph Perkins reminiscing on his childhood in the 1940s.
The memories are not always happy ones though, as Perkins harkens back to even some traumatic, comedic events that happened during Christmas when he was a kid. Overall, managing a cast of adults and children can be challenging, but Garden director Patrick Braillard pulls it off well with this ensemble.
“A Christmas Story” runs 2:15 including intermission. There are shows at the Garden Theatre through September 23 and admission ranges in price from $30-$35. | <urn:uuid:4af42324-c16f-415e-b585-e7b8d995a659> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://everythingwintergarden.com/2018/12/05/a-christmas-story-playing-at-the-garden-theatre/ | 2023-09-27T12:11:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.961936 | 192 |
Do you think you suffer from gynecomastia? Here is how to tell its two types apart and how to get rid of “gyno.”
Is Gynecomastia A Fitness Topic?
Yes, it is, when I go by the questions I get. 50 to 60 percent of boys experience gynecomastia during puberty and many believe their breasts become bigger because they are too fat. They turn to exercising and weight loss, even though some are almost underweight.
But there is only one form of gyno you can care of that way. The other one in teens usually disappears by itself:
Do Not Self-Medicate!
It is a very, very bad idea to treat gynecomastia with drugs you may have gotten from friends or gym buddies. When you are in puberty, your body has enough to do getting your hormones sorted without you adding to its troubles.
On some bodybuilding forums people frequently mention letrozole as a “secret weapon” against gyno. The real use of this drug is to treat breast cancer in women, where it destroys the female hormone estrogen. If you are in puberty and only have a “normal” case of gynocemastia, annihilating your estrogen could damage your body forever.
There is only one person who can say if you need medication and which one: your doctor. Don’t experiment with your body. You only have one and don’t get to load the last save.
Another Cause Of Gynecomastia: Steroids
Last but not least let us mention one more cause of male breast enlargement: steroids. Which at first seems illogical, because steroids influence the male hormone testosterone. How can more male hormone make the body look more female?
Because the body converts the testosterone to estrogen. To avoid getting a female chest, many steroid abusers have to take estrogen-blockers and a nice ladder of escalation starts: drug b blocks the side effects of drug a, drug c blocks the side effects of drug b etc. If you want to avoid this, don’t use steroids.

Trade Mark is a type of intellectual property which differentiates your products or services from other competitors in the market. In India, the Trade Mark Act, 1999 permits you to register a Trade Mark. As per SECTION 18 of the Trade Mark Act, 1999 the application for the registration of the mark must be made in the prescribed manner along with the required fees.
As soon as an application is filed for the registration, the examiner (officer assigned by the ministry) prepares an examination report which states whether your application is accepted or denied. If your application is objected/denied by the examiner, then you have to appear for the hearing after sending a relevant reply. But, if your application is accepted by the registrar it published for advertisement in the Trademark Journal. The publication in the Trademark Journal stays for 4 months. During this period any third party can raise an opposition against the published mark which are infringing their trademark.
There are several grounds of opposition to the Trademark registration. They are as:
- SECTION 9 of the Act talks about Absolute grounds for refusal of registration. The section prohibits registration of any mark, which are devoid of any distinctive character. There should be some distinguishing characteristics in the mark. It should not hurt any religious sentiment of any demographic section of Indian citizens.
- SECTION 11 of the Act talks about Relative grounds for refusal of registration. Any Trademark which causes any sort of confusion on behalf of public due to its identical nature of the earlier trademark can be opposed by the existing user of the said Mark.
Some other related provisions are:
- SECTION 12 of the Act talks about registration in the case of honest concurrent use etc. Where two separate entities have co-existed for a long period of time, honestly using the same or closely similar name of a Trademark, there exists a chance of confusion that arises and may have to be tolerated. Under this scenario, an application for opposition can be filed.
- SECTION 28 of the act provides Rights conferred by registration. Any registered proprietor of a Trademark can raise an opposition and can seek legal remedy in case of an infringement of his Trademark in any manner provided in the act.
- SECTION 29 of the Act says talks about infringement of registered trademarks. The sections says that any unregistered user using a registered Trademark which is identical or deceptively similar without any permission for use. There exists similarity of goods or services covered by such registered Trademark and is likely to cause confusion on behalf of public and have an association with the registered Trademark. The registered Trademark has a reputation and use of mark without due cause takes unfair advantage which effects the reputation of registered mark. Opposition can be filed in such a case.
- SECTION 102 of the Act states Falsifying and falsely applying Trademark. A person is said to be falsifying a Trademark when he/she makes a similar Trademark or makes deceptively similar Trademark without any consent of the original/real owner of the same existing Trademark. When an individual makes any alteration, additions or do any kind of changes to genuine (real) Trademark is also considered as falsifying trademark. Such kind of activity can also be opposed by the original registered Trademark owner. Any identity applying for a Trademark by filing a false goods or services description is also a matter of falsifying.
- SECTION 103 talks about Penalty for applying false Trademarks, Trade descriptions etc. – the person shall be punishable with imprisonment of not less than 6 months but may extend up to 3 years and with fine which shall not be less than Rs.50,000 but may extend till Rs.2,00,000.
SECTION 21 of the Act talks about OPPOSITION TO REGISTRATION AND COUNTER STATEMENT. Any person, from the date of advertisement till next four months may file an application of opposition. The application must be filed on Trademark Form 5 in the prescribed manner along with the prescribed fees to the registrar. This is known as TM-O (Trade Mark Opposition). The status of the application will be shown as OPPOSED in the Trademark Portal.
A Trademark opposition can be filed by a customer, member of the public or competitor, or any other person. The person filing for opposition should keep in mind that he needs to be a prior registered Trademark owner. Trademark opposition can only be done at the Trademark Registrar’s office and cannot be taken to a court or the Appellate Board Directly (IPAB).
There are several important points to keep in mind while filing the opposition. They are:
- The opponent must mention the details of the trademark application against which he is entering into the opposition. The details must contains the name of the applicant, the application number along with the name of the requested Trademark and the class of goods or services listed in the Trademark application.
- If the opponent is an account of an existing Trademark application or registered Trademark, then the application/registration number of that mark. If the opponent is a well-known existing user, then there should be an indication of the effect it will cause to the existing mark.
- The opponent must not forget to mention his details such as his name, his mark name, application number of the said respective mark and the address of the business place of the opponent. If the opponent has no place of business in India, then the name of the opponents and his address for service in India must be mentioned.
- Grounds on which the opposition is based must be clearly written.
A copy of that opposition notice shall be served to the applicant by the registrar. Within two months from the receipt by the applicant of such copy of the notice of opposition, the applicant have to file a COUNTER STATEMENT to the registrar in the prescribed manner. The Counter Statement must contains all the necessary points on which the applicant relies for his application along with the facts alleged by the opponent in the notice of opposition that are admitted by the applicant. By any chance, if the applicant fails to file the counter statement within the specified time frame, then the application for the registration shall deemed to be abandoned for non-prosecution under section 21(2) by the registrar. Under the Trademark Portal, the application status will be shown as ABANDONED.
If the applicant sends such counter statement, the registrar shall serve a copy thereof to the person giving notice of opposition and the opposition will proceeds to the evidence stage. Both, the applicant and the opponent will be given fair chance to provide the evidence/evidences on which they rely upon.
The evidence shall be submitted to the registrar in the prescribed time and prescribed manner. Within two months of receiving the copy of counter statement, the opponent shall file its affidavit by way of evidence in support of his raised opposition. The registrar shall ordinarily serve a copy of the affidavit by way of evidence in support of his raised opposition to the applicant.
Within 2 months of receiving the affidavit by the way of evidence from the opponent, the applicant shall file its affidavit by way of evidence in support of his application. The registrar shall serve with the copy within 2 months from the date of receipt for the same to the opponent.
After the evidence filing stage, the registrar shall provide an opportunity to be heard to both the parties. The registrar shall send notices to both the parties stating the dates of hearing. The first date of hearing shall be at least one month after the date of first notice. After the hearing process and examining the evidences, the registrar may decide whether the opposition filed was appropriate or not and may take a note for the grounds of rejecting the applicant’s mark for registration. The status of the application will be marked as REJECTED. If the registrar finds that the opposition does not hold much weightage then he can continue the registration process for the applicant’s mark. He may also impose any condition or restriction before granting the permission for the registration. The status of the application will turns to REGISTERED.
The decision of the registrar made in the proceedings can be challenged later by an aggrieved person by filing an appeal before the Intellectual Property Appellate Board (IPAB).
The registration of Trademark shall be valid for a period of 10 years, but may be renewed from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Trademark Act, 1999.
On summarizing this, we understand that:
A Trademark gets published in the official journal of Trademark after getting approved from the registry. From the date of publication till next 4 months, any third party can raise an opposition by filing an application on the grounds mentioned in the act. The application for opposition should be filed in the prescribed manner with all essential details along with the prescribed fees. The applicant, from the day of receipt of the notice of opposition, will get a period of 2 months to submit his reply against opposition notice. That reply is called as Counter Statement. Fees is required to be submitted along with the reply to the opposition. Both the parties will get chance to provide those evidences on which they rely. The registrar will examine both the parties and will pass a hearing order. If the registrar will find the grounds of opposition to be sufficient enough, then he may reject the application for trademark registration but if the applicant holds more weightage than the opponent then the application for registration of Trademark will be accepted. Later, the decision made by registrar during the opposition procedure can be challenged by the aggrieved party by filing an appeal before IPAB.

Gather HQ, a virtual office platform, recently raised $26 million in a Series A funding round led by Sequoia Capital, with participation from existing investor Mascarenhas, as well as new investors including Designer Fund and XYZ myvuhub Venture Capital. The funding will be used to further develop the platform and expand the company’s team and customer base.
The Covid-19 pandemic has changed the way we work, with many companies shifting to remote work or a hybrid model. This has led to a surge in demand for virtual office platforms, which allow employees to collaborate and communicate in a virtual environment. Gather HQ is one such platform, offering a customizable 3D virtual space where users can interact with each other and with digital objects.
The platform is designed to mimic the masstamilan experience of working in an office, with different rooms for meetings, socializing, and working. Users can customize their avatars and move around the virtual space to interact with colleagues. The platform also integrates with a range of popular tools such as Google Docs, Zoom, and Slack, making it easy to collaborate and communicate.
Gather HQ was founded in 2018 by CEO and co-founder teachertn Nick Gauthier and CTO and co-founder Matt Basta. The platform has already gained a loyal following, with clients including Microsoft, Shopify, and Hubspot.
In a blog post announcing the funding round, pagalsongs Gauthier said: “We founded Gather HQ with a simple mission: to make remote work feel more like working together in person. With this funding, we’re excited to double down on that mission and build the future of work.”
The funding round was led by yareel Sequoia Capital, one of the world’s leading venture capital firms, known for backing companies such as Google, Apple, and Airbnb. In a statement, Sequoia Capital partner Pat Grady said: “Gather HQ is creating a new category of work collaboration that combines the best of virtual and physical workspaces. We’re excited to partner with Nick, Matt, and the Gather team as they continue to reimagine the future of work.”
Mascarenhas, the early-stage investment firm that led Gather HQ’s seed funding round, also participated in the Series A round. Speaking about the investment, Roberto Bonanzinga, partner at Mascarenhas, said: “We’re proud to continue supporting Gather HQ as they lead the charge in reimagining the virtual office experience. The team has built an incredible product that is helping companies around the world work better together.”
The funding round comes at a time when remote work is becoming increasingly popular. A recent survey by FlexJobs found that 65% of employees want to continue working remotely post-pandemic, and 58% said they would look for a new job if their employer did not offer remote work options. This highlights the need for virtual office platforms like Gather HQ, which can help companies attract and retain talent by providing a flexible and engaging work environment.
The funding will be used to further develop the platform and expand the company’s team and customer base. Gauthier said: “With this funding, we’ll be able to accelerate our product roadmap, hire top talent, and bring Gather to even more teams around the world. We’re excited to continue building a platform that makes remote work feel more connected and collaborative.”
The virtual office space is a crowded market, with a range of players including Spatial, Remo, and Sococo. However, Gather HQ’s customizable 3D environment and seamless integration with popular tools sets it apart from the competition.
In a recent interview with TechCrunch, Gauthier said: “We believe that we’re building something fundamentally different from the rest of the market. We’re not just a video conferencing tool or a document-sharing tool.

One of my favorite times is early spring when the garden and landscape is starting to wake up from their winter slumber. Today we’re in Vicksburg visiting Hillary and Jonathan’s early spring landscape. Whether used as specimen plants, hedges or backgrounds, Southern Indica azaleas have to be my favorite azalea. The blooms are huge resembling rhododendrons, which is no surprise, and are produced in great quantities. The flowers are funnel-shaped with narrow bases and bell-shaped edges. The flower colors include pink, purple, fuchsia and white. And I love the speckles in the flower throats. One of the trees I love in the spring are Japanese maples. A good example is this nice specimen Bloodgood. Look at that attractive burgundy red lobed foliage. I also love seeing the small seed structures called samara, you know those little helicopter things, starting to develop. And standing in contrast is this gorgeous lime green leaved Japanese maple. I’m not sure what variety it is but it is beautiful in the early spring season. This specimen ginkgo with its fan-shaped lime green leaves just starting to expand looks fantastic against a bright blue sky. But there’s a couple of branches that need to be pruned. I’m going to use my loppers and remove these right at the branch collar. Spring is a wonderful time in the landscape and I hope you’re enjoying the show as much as I am. I’m horticulturist Gary Bachman and I’ll see you next time on Southern Gardening. | <urn:uuid:7517fe92-b8cf-4704-9cad-9cf7ecb147c5> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://extension.msstate.edu/southern-gardening/video/2019/spring-wake | 2023-09-27T12:06:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.939319 | 342 |
About the only thing still worth reading in the Florida Times-Union is the obituary page. Oddly enough, its own obit may soon be written.
The daily newspaper continues to shrink, with its parent company lopping off another four heads – probably chosen because of their relatively high salaries.
One of those dropped was its most outstanding reporter, who has been on the job for more than 50 years.
If the paper actually was serious about staying in business they would not have fired her.
Younger residents of the city may not know that the shrinking liberal newspaper, now insignificant, once was a major voice in the city.
It dates back to 1864 and for the next century it presented readers with objective news stories and conservative opinion, with a bit of liberal opinion from syndicated columnists and letter writers for balance.
But about 50 years ago it began to change, while under the ownership of a local railroad. Although the opinion pages remained conservative, news stories began taking on a liberal tint.
Even after a newspaper chain headed by a conservative publisher took over in 1983, the tendency remained.
By the turn of the century, it was noticeable to most readers.
Then, 15 years ago, the opinion pages abruptly switched to the Far Left. Soon after, the paper was sold to one of the liberal newspaper chains that now dominate what is left of the industry.
Subsequently, the reporting staff became union members, which would have been unthinkable previously.
Readership began dropping steadily, along with the staff and salaries. It now has about a tenth of the readership and staff it had at its peak.
They blame the Internet, which does play a role. But spreading socialism also is not a winning strategy.
One of its remaining columnists highlighted the problem recently with this comment: “It’s also less profitable than it’s ever been … and if that’s all you care about then all you are going to do is continue to cut newspapers.”
Scorn for profits and capitalism is one of the hallmarks of the socialist mind.
The socialists on the staff of the shrinking liberal newspaper think they are the wave of the future. If they are right, the nation is doomed.
But their own demise indicates there is still hope.
The real need today is for more media outlets that buck the liberal propaganda from newspapers, TV and Big Tech. | <urn:uuid:d20b073b-f92b-4250-a5d7-be48908dde92> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://eyeonjacksonville.com/another-step-toward-oblivion-for-a-local-liberal-newspaper/ | 2023-09-27T12:50:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.977232 | 493 |
When Walt Disney was alive, he wanted to entertain children and families. Now that he is dead, the vast empire he created with that credo has turned against families and the American culture that Walt venerated.
Disney has embraced the woke culture with all of its most disgusting aspects.
The original Disneyland, which opened near Los Angeles in 1955 and the spectacular Walt Disney World that opened near Orlando more than 50 years ago were amazing tributes to American culture and history. At the same time, they delighted boys and girls from all over the world.
Because he idolized American culture and was a great patriot, the anti-American left hated Disney and his theme parks. But Disney died in 1965 and the corporate culture at the company he founded has changed dramatically.
The films it produced today are a far cry from Snow White, Bambi, Cinderella and Pinocchio. They now embrace violence and border on pornography.
In keeping with the new Far Left political stance it has taken, the company now is actively opposing Gov. Rick DeSantis and the Florida Legislature, which has been working to protect the rights of parents and families.
The intact nuclear family is one of the greatest threats to the Far Left, which depends on fracturing America to form the many coalitions it counts upon.
So, the Disney company is lying about a bill just enacted, and vows to have it overturned.
The legislation prohibits Florida teachers from discussing topics like sexual orientation or gender identity with students unless they’re in the fourth grade or higher. Contrary to the lies, it does not prohibit saying “gay.” That word is not even in the bill.
Talking to very young children about their genitals would be considered child abuse by many Americans, yet the Disney company not only accepts it but demands that it be done.
Imagine: A California company that became fabulously rich by locating its main attraction in Florida, adopting the values of its birth state to oppose the officials elected by Florida residents, who overwhelmingly support them and the new law.
Gov. Ron DeSantis is having none of it.
“If you are in one of these corporations, if you’re a woke CEO, you want to get involved in our legislative business, look, it’s a free country,” the Florida Republican said last June. “But understand, if you do that, I’m fighting back against you. And I’m going to make sure that people understand your business practices, and anything I don’t like about what you’re doing.”
Recently, DeSantis said, “This state is governed by the interests of the people of the state of Florida. It is not based on the demands of California corporate executives. They do not run this state. They do not control this state.”
Legislators thought the new law necessary because government schools in some places have “progressed” so far that they now seek to groom young children and persuade them to declare that they are a different sex, which is biologically impossible.
How is that educating them in science or anything else?
With schools sexualizing children, dividing them racially and politicizing them incessantly at the same time mega-corporations are putting their stockholders and customer’s best interests aside to engage in cheap, partisan politics, America is becoming far different than it was on Walt Disney’s Main Street U.S.A. – so different that a red-hot backlash has formed among American parents and families.
The outcome will be far more important than who wins the Russian-Ukraine War. | <urn:uuid:16d8e8a0-5674-4586-922f-aaaba9dfac87> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://eyeonjacksonville.com/todays-disney-moguls-would-shoot-bambi/ | 2023-09-27T11:40:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.968214 | 747 |

The Dallas Cowboys have been active this offseason and still have the NFL Draft coming. Some players won’t make it through the draft still on the roster.
Fans have finally gotten to see the aggressive side of Jerry Jones in building the Dallas Cowboys roster this offseason and it’s been a welcomed sight. No, free agency wasn’t particularly lucrative as perhaps the team’s biggest move was to cut running back Ezekiel Elliott. However, trading for both Brandin Cooks and Stephon Gilmore while re-signing key players more than made up for that.
With the moves that the Cowboys have made thus far, they are set up beautifully for the 2023 NFL Draft. Dallas doesn’t have any glaring needs that will force their hand in the draft to reach at a position. In fact, it’s perhaps the best the franchise has been up to take a best-player-available approach in to the draft at every pick in quite some time, especially while still having a selection in all seven rounds.
Because of the moves that the club has made in the 2023 offseason and the players that they could add in the draft, though, there are some players on the Cowboys roster who won’t be holding that spot very long and, by the time the draft is over, could end up being a cap casualty. Three players, in particular, stand out as not being long for Dallas.
Cowboys rumors: 3 cap casualties who will be gone after NFL Draft
Antonio Callaway doesn’t have a place in the Cowboys WR room
Amid the team’s highly publicized and ultimately ill-fated pursuit of Odell Beckham Jr. at the end of the 2022 regular season, the Cowboys made two moves at wide receiver, one you definitely saw and one you might not have. The former was landing veteran TY Hilton, who made some big plays for Dallas down the stretch. The latter was signing 2018 fourth-round pick Antonio Callaway.
Callaway was initially drafted by the Cleveland Browns and had some real flashes out of Florida as a rookie. Playing in all 16 games at the time, he caught 43 balls for 586 yards and five touchdowns in Cleveland, seemingly showing real potential.
In the two years after, though, Callaway all but fell off the planet as he only played in nine games for the Browns and Dolphins combined, catching just 10 total passes for 109 yards. There still might be a future in the NFL for the wideout, but the situation dictates that it probably won’t be with Dallas.
Prior to the Cooks trade, most people projected wide receiver being a priority for the Cowboys in the draft as the Amari Cooper trade left the team thinner than they’d hoped at the position. Now with Cooks in the building, I still expect Dallas to draft a wide receiver, but it definitely improves the depth chart dramatically. With the franchise able to save just over $1 million by cutting Callaway, I don’t see his place on the roster moving forward past the draft. | <urn:uuid:ba83827a-6a41-4725-97ae-b175c3344dba> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://fansided.com/2023/04/08/cowboys-rumors-3-cap-casualties-nfl-draft/ | 2023-09-27T13:03:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.976323 | 628 |
Instant Pot Oatmeal Recipe made in just four minutes of cook time using Old-Fashioned (rolled oats). This creamy oatmeal can be easily dressed up with your favorite toppings and sweeteners.
Oatmeal is a breakfast staple at our house because it is something that everyone likes. On busy mornings we make a big batch of plain oatmeal and then let everyone choose their own toppings.
How to Make Oatmeal in the Instant Pot
Oats are quick breakfast any way you cook them, but I prefer the hands-off method of using a pressure cooker. (It's also my favorite way to cook sticky rice and hard-boiled eggs.) To make this Instant Pot oatmeal recipe you will need:
- 2 cups of Old-Fashioned (rolled) oats
- 5 cups of water
- ½ tsp salt (optional)
The salt is optional but I highly recommend it. The point of the salt is not to make the dish salty, but to enhance the flavors. (Similar to why you still need to add salt to homemade guacamole even if you plan to eat it with salty chips.)
Old Fashioned vs Quick vs Steel Cut Oats
It's important to use old-fashioned, rolled oats in this Instant Pot oatmeal recipe. (The kind you would cook for 5 minutes on the stovetop.) Old-fashioned are flat and flaky; they're what you want for cookies and homemade granola.
Steel cut are tiny, tough, and take much longer to cook. Quick cook do just that (cook in about 1 minute) and instant oats are usually in individual packets for microwave cooking.
Pressure Cooker Oatmeal Toppings
While everyone in my house can agree that this creamy oatmeal is delicious, our topping choices are all very different! (I personally love this Pumpkin Oatmeal!) A few of our favorites are:
- Brown sugar (my favorite)
- Honey or maple syrup
- Peanut butter (my husband's favorite)
- Pumpkin Puree
- Shredded coconut flakes
- Nuts (like pecans or walnuts)
- Fresh or frozen berries
- Dried fruits (like raisins or apricots)
- Heavy cream
Tips for Making Creamy Oatmeal
There are a couple of things to keep in mind when making this Instant Pot oatmeal recipe. First, I don't recommend using milk instead of water in this recipe because it might burn in the pressure cooker. I find it creamy enough by just using water with this cooking method; you can always add a splash of cream after cooking.
If you're worried about oatmeal sticking to the bottom of the stainless steel pot, you can also try this non-stick inner pot instead.
Second, foamy foods (like potatoes or thick soups) can cause a messier splatter during the quick release depressurization. Others have recommended putting a paper towel over the valve during this process.
Finally, and most importantly, make sure to use a different sealing ring for sweet and savory! This is crucial or your oatmeal will taste like it was cooked with chicken broth. This is the 2-pack of sealing rings I bought; I use the blue for sweet and the red for savory.

- 2 cups Old-Fashioned Oats (rolled oats)
- 5 cups water
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Combine ingredients in the Instant Pot.
- Close the lid and make sure the sealing valve is turned to the sealing position.
- Cook on high pressure for 4 minutes.
- When the oatmeal is finished, carefully do a quick release.
- Stir well. Serve and top as desired.
Occasionally I have some oatmeal stick to the bottom of the stainless steel pot. This isn't an issue for me and cleans easily, but if it this happens repeatedly for you try cooking on low pressure.

LEMONT FURNACE, Pa. — Gib Prettyman, associate professor of English at Penn State Fayette, The Eberly Campus, has been awarded the 2017 Larry E. Hough Distinguished Service Award by the Society for Utopian Studies (SUS) for substantial contributions to the organization.
The SUS is an international organization of literary scholars, historians, architects, philosophers, political scientists and other researchers who study aspects of utopian and dystopian thinking. Prettyman defines such thinking as the imagining of other, better worlds — and their dangers.
Prettyman has published extensively and presented internationally on utopian expressions in literature for more than 20 years. He appreciates the tendency and ability of utopian literature to directly address political and social issues in provocative ways.
“The stories we tell ourselves could influence future worlds and how we think about those future worlds,” he said. “There is an explosion of apocalyptic narratives — environmental, post-nuclear, zombie-oriented — because we are reassessing where we are as a culture and where we might go. It is easier to imagine things falling apart than it is to imagine how they might come together.”
Prettyman, a 2017 University Teaching Fellow, is also the recipient of the 2000 Arthur O. Lewis Award from the SUS, as well as awards for teaching and scholarly excellence from Penn State Fayette, where he has taught since 1996. He serves as the Honors Program coordinator for the campus and treasurer for the SUS.
Prettyman notes that the SUS has longstanding connections to Penn State. The late Penn State English professor Arthur O. Lewis was the first recipient of the Hough award. Lewis’s Annual Directory of Utopian Scholars, first published in 1976, was instrumental in the establishment of the SUS, and Penn State’s extensive utopian literature collection bears his name. The current president of the organization, Jennifer Wagner-Lawlor, is a professor of women’s, gender, and sexuality studies and English at Penn State. | <urn:uuid:0a26a1fb-2a5b-4ab4-bcbd-f363509776c7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://fayette.psu.edu/story/2471/2017/12/05/penn-state-fayette-professor-awarded-contributions-utopian-studies | 2023-09-27T12:52:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.953206 | 414 |

Hyperworks Student Edition does not support LSDYNA export.
Hi there folks, does anyone know a workaround for the new student license restriction. I'm trying to use Hypermesh for my meshing in Dyna for a university Masters project.
I'd greatly appreciate any input.
That really stinks, they must have updated their student license limitations this year. Honestly, it never hurts to contact them and ask? You could get in touch with somebody in your department and see if there is any budget to pay to a limited license.
Alternatively, you can use something else for meshing. Depending on how advanced you are going, you could use LS-PrePost's built-in meshing tools. It won't be as glamorous, but it can get the job done. If you choose to go this route let me know and I can try to get you started and acclimated with it.
There are other free meshing software like IA-FEMesh (link below) which are even less intuitive but better at things like hexahedral meshing | <urn:uuid:5c3e0a74-a20f-4cb6-b546-931c186a6bb7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://feassistant.com/forums/hypermesh/hyperworks-student-edition-does-not-support-lsdyna-export/ | 2023-09-27T11:36:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.95616 | 226 |

The ultimate statement piece. Draped at your shoulder, you and glittering Godzilla will take on the city! Beyond fierce.
Vintage metal and crystals on a single pin (at the lizard’s shoulders). Unmarked. Estimated 1980’s. The lizard measures a whopping 9 inches long with an articulated body. Excellent condition. Amazing style.
Godzilla is of course a fictional creature but is he a giant mutant lizard or a dinosaur? He is "somewhere between the marine reptiles and the evolving terrestrial animals," according to William Tsutsui who wrote a book on Godzilla. (We highly recommend this LiveScience article, which quotes Tsutsui: "Godzilla is the outrageous guy that breaks all the rules and gets away with it; the walking disaster who leaves a trail of devastation behind him….[it] inspires not just fear and loathing, but also admiration, awe and an odd tingle of delight."

A sweeping IT reform law that will soon give agency-level chief information officers more budgeting authority will also change the way federal agencies buy software.
The Federal IT Acquisition Reform Act requires the General Services Administration to expand the Federal Strategic Sourcing Initiative — a program that consolidates similar contracts from different agencies as a way to cut costs and reduce duplication — to include software licensing, an item under constant scrutiny for wasting of taxpayer dollars. GSA is currently working with the Office of Management and Budget and the Defense Department to build a governmentwide software licensing framework.
The three agencies have created an enterprise software category team to explore better ways to buy software as a government rather than as a disparate bunch of agencies, which Mary Davie, assistant commissioner of the Federal Acquisition Service’s Office of Integrated Technology Services within GSA, said “will give government a better handle on what we’re buying and how we’re buying it.”
“We are looking at opportunities for establishing acquisition vehicles and enterprise license agreements with several software providers,” she told FedScoop in an email. “This entails working across the federal government to understand how agencies are purchasing software today, the challenges we all face in developing requirements, purchasing and managing licenses, identifying what we can do to evolve that purchasing behavior into an enterprise wide approach, and developing a strategy to make it happen.”
Davie said finding overlap in agencies’ software requirements can be a challenge.
“Looking at how the government currently buys, maintains, and manages licenses is extremely complex. Terms and conditions vary not only from agency to agency, but even within agencies, and the variation of purchase methods and limited visibility on pricing and terms increase duplication of time, effort, and money,” Davie told FedScoop in an email. “The question is: What is the best way to tackle enterprise licensing; how do we negotiate terms and pricing on a government-wide basis and improve our strategic use of software?”
This new governmentwide software licensing approach will play into a bigger acquisition framework GSA is developing with OMB’s Office of Federal Procurement Policy, called the Common Acquisition Platform. It’s essentially a governmentwide marketplace like Amazon.com where users can see what software agencies have already purchased — and what they paid for it. The platform emphasizes “category management,” where experts in different procurement areas help agencies figure out how best to spend their money.
“Category management and the Common Acquisition Platform will play a big role in FITARA by helping the government act and buy as one,” Davie said. “With a simplified acquisition strategy, we provide a clear and clean roadmap and tools that help agencies report according to FITARA principles.”
The common acquisition platform’s software category was one of the first to launch to agencies last year.
Davie added, “By addressing software purchases as a category and buying as one, we’ll better understand buying trends, what drives cost, new innovations on the horizon, and emerging companies. This type of expertise from a team of software and acquisition experts that understands the market is also how you drive greater innovation.”
Initially, Davie said her team hopes to reduce the federalwide total cost of ownership for software by 15 percent with the licensing agreement they’re developing under FITARA. Additionally, Davie hopes to “find efficiencies and additional savings through both lowering the costs associated with IT purchases, and also reducing the resources (people, time, etc) that agencies spend addressing software and other IT procurements.” | <urn:uuid:9e178fea-f61e-4eda-91a2-95357eae7f70> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://fedscoop.com/fitara-will-change-how-agencies-buy-software/ | 2023-09-27T11:57:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.946251 | 752 |

Written by Ben Bunting: BA(Hons), PGCert.
At some point in your life, or at least most people, you will want to have children. Whilst this won’t be the case for everyone, it is something that is becoming more popular.
Fertility is directly involved with this process in which both males and females produce the ingredients needing to reproduce.
The basics of it can be boiled down to eggs and sperm, but it goes deeper than that, which is something we will explore in this article.
Having children is a major decision for most couples, with the very idea of wanting or having children sometimes directly deciding where a couple will live and work, as well as what car they will drive.
That’s why it's important that couples understand their bodies and any problems that they may have, as roughly 1 in 8 couples will struggle with some form of infertility.
The last thing anyone will want from trying to have a child is to have stress added to the relationship because of something not in their control.
This article will aim to inform you all about what your fertility means and why it is so important to couples. Within this article, we will cover the following topics:
- The basics of fertility for men
- The basics of fertility for women
- Understanding your body
- The main causes of infertility for women
- The main causes of fertility for men
- The challenges associated with trying to conceive
- How to know if your partner has any fertility issues
- How you can boost your fertility
- How to find the right time to try and conceive
- What you need to know about egg and sperm quality
At the end of this article, you will have hopefully gained some insight into fertility and some knowledge that you and your partner can utilize to best improve your chances of conceiving a child or how to best get help.
The Basics Of Fertility For Men
The main components involved with male fertility can be boiled down to semen and sperm, although there are also other factors to consider.
For example, you have hormonal factors such as how high your testosterone levels are.
Higher levels of testosterone will mean higher production of sperm in the testes.
Any genetic or chromosomal issues within your family could also be a big factor in your fertility rate and any potential birthing issues or defects with your children.
It can be difficult to identify these issues or relate them to fertility at all, but we do know more about semen and its relationship with fertility.
One of the main points when it comes to fertility is the sperm numbers themselves.
Typically, men may produce around 2ml to 5ml of semen for each time they ejaculate, and this can contain from 40 to 60 million sperm cells per 1ml.
According to the United Kingdoms National Health Service, a man may be considered to have some fertility issues if the sperm count is 15 million or lower per 1ml of semen.
The process of reproduction for a man is to produce sperm and semen that will eventually be ejaculated into a female, or it could be extracted and frozen for the purposes of IVF.
They can largely do this throughout most of their life until they reach the age of 80 or so or until they run into any infertility issues although mens fertility does start to natural decline around the age of 40 to 45 years.
Fortunately, there are fertility solutions that can help resolve some of these issues, depending on the issue at hand.
Fertiligy uses natural nutrients paired with development from research professionals to help create a safe, legal and plant-based product that helps men address issues such as a low sperm count that is decreasing, as well as sexual dysfunction that may be caused by low testosterone.
The Basics Of Fertility For Woman
Women go through a different process but with the same aims of reproduction.
Women will go through the process of menstruation, which involves different stages of going through the period and ovulation over a monthly cycle.
A woman will usually begin her puberty as a young teener, even a pre-teen in some cases.
At that point, a woman will start off her menstruation cycle with regular periods. A major part of that includes follicles and eggs.
Follicles contain fluid and immature eggs; the main purpose of these sacs is to develop the eggs into maturity before releasing them into the ovaries.
When the uterine lining sheds inside of a woman, it will leave their progesterone and estrogen levels low, which begins the follicular stage, which helps prepare the body for the eggs about to be released.
There are different times in life when a woman will be the most fertile.
For example, there is a window that usually lasts a few days during each month that the female body will be best prepared to become pregnant.
Usually, this is right before the ovulation stage, which will be the time when the body is most fertile.
This is generally 12 to 14 days before the start of your next period. You can read more about the fertility window, here.
Just as a side note, whilst it is unlikely that you will get pregnant just after your period, bear in mind that sperm can survive inside a womans body for up to 7 days!
Typically, age will play a big factor when it comes to fertility for women. They are considered to be fertile up until their 40s or sometimes 50s when they enter menopause.
This is essentially when the eggs are all but gone, with the menstruation period ending.
It will be during her 20s or 30s that a woman will have the best chance of getting pregnant with certain days in the month having an increased chance.
This means that once a couple has identified this day, they will usually be able to conceive on the first try.
Understanding Your Body
It will go a long way for a couple to help understand their fertility if they understand their bodies and what they are capable of.
There are different ways in which you can do this, from growing and learning from personal experience to tests.
For example, it’s very unlikely that you will know from experience how much sperm you are currently producing, even with semen coming out.
That is why you should go to a doctor to get a professional opinion regarding your fertility, as they will have the knowledge and expertise to find out for sure what is going on.
Consider speaking to friends and family about how they overcame challenges regarding their fertility, assuming they are comfortable enough to do so.
It will be a different story for everyone, but there will still be some factors that affect everyone, such as high quantities of alcohol intake.
Main Causes Of Infertility In Women
Infertility for women can come from a few different sources, with one of the major factors that will eventually affect every woman being age.
As we mentioned earlier, menopause is a natural end for a woman’s reproductive cycle, but there are sadly other factors that can end fertility earlier or at least hamper it.
It could be that the woman has some sort of ovulation disorder.
This refers to when there are problems with the regulation of reproductive hormones by the hypothalamus or any of the glands that are inside.
Any sort of problem within the ovary will cause ovulation disorders.
Damage to the fallopian tubes, otherwise known as tubal infertility, is also a major cause of infertility.
This will stop sperm from getting to the egg or at least block the fertilized eggs from getting from the follicles to the uterus.
These tubes can become damaged from certain sexually transmitted infections, such as gonorrhea or chlamydia, to name a few.
There could also be issues with the uterine or cervical regions of the body.
This can cause infertility by interfering with implantation and increasing the chances of a miscarriage. This can come in the form of endometriosis, which happens when tissue that is similar to the lining of the uterus grows elsewhere.
It is becoming more common, with different treatments to help manage the symptoms and improve pregnancy chances.
Main Causes Of Infertility In Men
As touched upon earlier, one of the main causes of infertility for men comes with the sperm count itself. It can be low from certain disorders or from a hormonal disorder.
Dilated veins around the testicles can be a sign that something isn’t right, and there can also be conditions that block the sperm from getting out.
This is referred to as caricocele.
There are a variety of different infertility symptoms for men to look out for, such as pain and swelling in the testicular areas could be a sign of a urogenital infection.
Even a decreased facial or body hair can be a sign that hormonal levels are low, especially in regards to testosterone.
Problems with sexual function also play a major role, ranging from problems with ejaculation to only small amounts of fluid coming out.
The problem could also be erectile dysfunction and a reduced sexual drive in general. It can be something more physical, with injuries and discomfort playing a part too.
Male fertility can be a complex process, with a male having to produce healthy sperm and have enough to be carried within the semen.
The sperm itself has to be fast enough and have enough motility to function and reach the egg to penetrate it otherwise the cervical mucus filters out sperm, as a result only a minority reach and enter the cervix.
There are various different medical causes that can lead to male infertility. There could be cancerous tumors that directly affect the reproductive system or even surgery and chemotherapy that treats other tumors can indirectly affect fertility.
Fertiligy offers a range of fertility products that are backed by science to help boost your fertility chances.
Whilst they aren’t a guarantee, as nothing is, they have proven results in the industry.
You should consider looking into products such as this if you have been unsuccessful in the attempts so far to conceive a child.
The Challenges With Trying To Conceive
Some of the main challenges with couples trying to conceive, away from actual infertility issues, can be attributed to misunderstanding certain baby-making techniques.
For example, whilst there is an ovulation window you can aim for that includes high fertility, you should still be trying regularly every few days to help increase your chances.
Some couples decide to wait and save themselves for this window, but there is no harm in trying outside of it.
It’s also possible that a couple could have mistimed their ovulation window; this could be with an incorrect test or getting your own symptoms wrong when calculating it via a calendar.
There are various apps on a smartphone that can help with tracking these periods, but if you calculate too late, then you may only have a 24-hour period for an egg to be positioned right and fertilized.
Sperm has the potential to survive for up to five days or so, with an egg lasting 12-24 hours once ready.
This is why you should plan your sex on days coming up to ovulation and the days following it in order to have the best chance.
However, it is also possible that you could burn out from too much sex, which could put you off the experience, so do it as much as you both feel comfortable in a way that you can engage with.
How To Know If Your Partner Has Fertility Issues
If you’ve both been trying for a while to conceive with little luck, then it could be time for you to look into why that is.
Sometimes, it could be out of your hands due to genetic reasons, but it can also be contributed to lifestyle choices.
Steroid use has been linked to infertility, so if you know your partner has been using them, consider speaking to them and see what your options could be.
Within the first year of trying, you may not be successful, but don't worry too much.
That statistics are that 84% do concevie within a year of regular unprotected sex, but 98% conceive after 2 years.
Of course, it is possible to do this quicker, and women in their 20s are atthe peak of their fertility, but other reasons could be attributed to making changes in your life.
You and your partner could take tests or speak to a medical expert to find out what the actual issue is and find out how to resolve it.
How To Boost Your Fertility
As mentioned, we here at Fertiligy have options for male infertility.
You can read about how it works here to get a better idea of the problem and how it can be resolved.
Otherwise, consider that you may need to look into medical surgeries or solutions if it is something that goes deeper.
Getting fitter and cutting out lifestyle choices such as cigarettes and alcohol can help boost your chances of conceiving.
Losing weight and getting fitter, in general, will help, a meta-analysis of 40 studies found that a reduced calorie diet and exercise helped improve fertility outcomes.
Additionally, exercise releases endorphins into your body that help keep you in a positive state of mind during your fertile experience.
But in general, your weight will matter. Being overweight or underweight can make a difference to your fertility, as your body should be in that middle area.
How To Find The Best Time To Try And Conceive?
Finding the best time to try and conceive doesn’t just mean finding the right ovulation time.
It also means finding the right time that both you and your partner is free and willing. Stress plays a major part in the baby-making journey, and you’ll find you can be more successful in your attempts if you take away this stress.
A study involving 274 women who were attempting pregnancy found that stress has a major impact on the probability of conception during the fertility window.
You can cut down on stress by engaging in activities such as yoga or meditation or evening going for a run or swim.
Long baths also help, but all of these activities will depend on the person. Chances are, you know what will help you reduce your stress levels.
This way, when you’ve both cut down on stress, it will feel like less of a chore, and you’ll both be ready to engage with it.
What You Need To Know About Egg And Sperm Quality
It’s important that you understand the role that egg and sperm play in reproduction.
Whilst this article has explained the science behind it, it hasn’t yet explained how important the quality of these natural reproductive systems is.
It can be difficult for you to know what the best quality is; that’s why you should look into blood tests and scans that can help investigate the substances produces within the ovaries.
This will help you find out what’s going on and give you useful information. Likewise, there are sperm tests to help count the sperm levels and quality to help you understand your odds of conceiving.
Semen quality and sperm density is key to male fertility, an analysis of semen quality demonstrates that quality has decreased globally by approximately 50% over the previous decades.
To conclude, you should have an understanding of the basics involved with what fertility means and how to manage it, as well as what to do with infertility.
One of the most important takeaways here is that everyone is unique, and what works for some people might not work for others.
Consider looking into a range of different options to find what works for you.
This will not only help boost your fertility chances but will educate you more on the process. Hopefully, you know how to approach your partner to discuss fertility and know when to speak to a medical expert.

Debbie Charles saw some of the work we had done on a neighbouring house and was inspired. She had grand plans to make her home sparkle and shine, and her excitement and enthusiasm were contagious. She knew exactly what she wanted and trusted our professional opinions when we helped her put it all together. She checked her bulb colours not once, not twice, but three times to make sure it was perfect, and in the end, it most certainly was!.
We paired our teal and twinkling pure white mini lights together and filled our natural wicker ornaments with them. We then hung the ornaments from trees on her property, with her guidance (it’s always fun to consult with our clients to make sure their décor looks exactly as they want, especially when they have excellent creative flair!). Her doorway was adorned with silver, gold and matching teal Christmas ornaments to compliment her lights.
Debbie’s house shone brightly and we wanted to show case her and her home.
The winter holidays are a hectic time for everyone, and it is our duty to help make the busiest time of year easier for our clients. During winter 2016, Vancouver saw the most snow it had in 7 years! This demanded diligent crews and strong work ethic from our teams, coupled with patience and understanding from our clients.
While the snow caused a bit of a delay, Debbie was patient and understanding of the situation. She remained cheerful; was excited throughout the entire process and communicated repeatedly to us about how much she loved her lights! Debbie, you were a pleasure to work with.

“FestiLight did a beautiful light display down the street from us, and we decided to give them a call. Daniel and Alexis came to the house with awesome attitudes and lots of creativity! The whole experience was a pleasure – they had a complete selection of lighting options, were full of suggestions and basically, took care of everything – even their installers were cheerful and top notch (in spite of terrible weather). Our lights were just what we wanted, and the effect was very special… literally, traffic stopping! Thank you FestiLight and we look forward to next Christmas!”

A hybrid of martial arts and 80’s disco, Barry Gordy’s The Last Dragon failed to kick-start a new genre, but is worth catching just for the sheer awfulness of the whole venture. Taimak plays Bruce Leroy, an aspiring martial-arts master who falls for Purple Rain’s Vanity, who stars in her own tv show and is something of a proto-video DJ. Neither of them can act their way out of a paper bag, but a gallery of weird and wonderful supporting roles keep Michael Shultz’s The Last Dragon breathing fire. Julius Carry gives a fabulously eccentric performances as the villainous Sho’Nuff, The Shogun of Harlem, William H Macy and Chazz Palminteri have cameos, and Faith Prince plays a wanna-be pop star who resembles Brenda Blethyn as Cindi Lauper. If that’s not enough there’s horrible comic relief from a group of kids who resemble a Bugsy Malone version of The Warriors, risible special effects as Bruce Leroy discovers ‘the glow’ a magical power that enables him to fight Sho’Nuff and the whole enterprise is topped off with an extended promo for Debarge’s Rhythm of the Night. If Rocky can be a stage-show, The Last Dragon is surely in prime position for a Broadway reboot. | <urn:uuid:5952a755-bd43-4b3e-bc2a-b096696d66b2> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://film-authority.com/2014/03/14/the-last-dragon-1985/ | 2023-09-27T13:08:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.856879 | 308 |
The CR123A 3V lithium battery is used in a variety of cameras and light meters, especially point-and-shoot cameras from the late 1990s and early 2000s. This battery shows up in some Nikon Lite-Touches and Olympus Superzooms, among others.
You should always reference both a camera manual and a battery list when buying a battery for a new camera. Most battery brands have their own names and listings, although the 123A is pretty consistent across brands. Many camera manuals only have older names for the batteries, dating back to the mercury era.
You may sometimes see this battery classified as a medical device or flashlight battery online. There is a lot of crossover between batteries for different devices.
General battery shorthand: A = alkaline, L = lithium, S = silver. In most circumstances, batteries with an "A" in the name can be used interchangeably with batteries with an "L" or "S" and all of those replace mercury batteries, which are no longer used. However, the CR123A is a lithium battery despite the "A" suffix.
Normal Capacity: 1400 mAh
Self-discharge Rate: <1% per Year
Max. Constant Current: 1500mA
Max Pulse Current: 3000mA
Normal Weight: 16 g
Operating Temperature: -20 C ~ 60 C
PTC High Current Discharge Protection: 5AMP
Caution: CR123A Lithium batteries are primary batteries and Not Rechargeable. Inserting a CR123A or any primary lithium battery into a charger may cause severe damage to both the battery and charger. | <urn:uuid:7557cfc1-0b88-4d53-b209-ba8961ab3c6f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://filmsupply.club/collections/batteries/products/cr123a-3v-battery | 2023-09-27T12:17:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.907924 | 341 |

Understanding the critical questions to ask before selecting your shipbuilder can lead to completing your build on time and on budget…or not. A few you may not have thought about:
- How does the shipyard manage its weather constraints (i.e. hurricanes, freezing conditions, etc.)?
- What is the shipyard’s experience in building this type of vessel?
- What are the shipyard’s Safety, Quality, and Environmental plans and metrics? | <urn:uuid:6a6c2354-7687-4c40-9a1e-a28bb12c55ae> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://fincantierimarinegroup.com/common-questions-windfarm-sov/ | 2023-09-27T12:22:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.946105 | 97 |

Off Road Cyclist
"My favorite cycling sound is accelerating out of a corner in cyclocross and the sounds the gears make on a carbon wheel as the chain drops down the cassette under power."
My love for cycling has been a lifelong journey. The seeds of this passion were sown when I began racing BMX at the age of seven in my hometown of Kingston, NY. As I progressed through high school, the allure of mountain biking captured my heart, ultimately guiding me to Durango, CO, where I pursued both higher education and my aspiration to become a top professional cyclist.
In 1996, I embarked on my journey as a professional cyclist, a voyage that would span numerous decades. Throughout my career, I secured fifteen national championships, garnered various continental championships, stood atop multiple world cup podiums, and represented my country in three appearances at the Olympic Games.
"I always notice positive gains and rarely, if ever, have “bad legs” when using it. It enables me to show up to the ride knowing I’m ready to go."
"Some multivitamins upset my stomach but MultiV is easy on my gut."
Goal(s) for 2023:
Be a great Dad and participate at the front of some bigger US races for at least a little while.
Who is your favorite author and what is their best work?
Ed Abbey- ‘Monkey Wrench Gang’
How did you get started in your sport?
I started racing BMX when I was 7 years old and transitioned to mountain bikes in the 90s. I’ve been riding/racing ever since.
If you had to be shipwrecked on a deserted island, but all your human needs—such as food and water—were taken care of, what two items would you want to have with you?
My family and my bike.
When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I always wanted to be a professional BMXer. I didn’t achieve that- my dreams morphed when I found mountain bike racing. I was able to live my dream for over 20 years.
What would you do if you won the lottery?
I would stop being a mortgage broker and just ride my bike and play golf all day.
Describe your first bike.
It was a little 20 inch Huffy. I broke the frame doing a rock jump in my yard. I saved up for my first “real” bike, a Mongoose, when I was about 9 years old.
What’s your favorite sound?
My favorite cycling sound is accelerating out of a corner in cyclocross and the sounds the gears make on a carbon wheel as the chain drops down the cassette under power.
What are your favorite pre-race/event rituals and/or meals?
Rice and Nutella.
When I’m not riding/running or otherwise crushing it in my sport, you’ll find me:
On the golf course.

10×16 Shed Siding Options
Did you know there are various types of shed siding available for 10×16 sheds? Many shed companies like Sheds by Fisher offer a selection of custom shed siding options, like metal, vinyl, or LP Smartside.
Vinyl siding is a popular choice for shed siding due to its affordability and low maintenance requirements. It is weather-resistant and pest-resistant, though it may need the occasional washing to maintain its appearance. It is important to note that vinyl shed siding for 10×16 sheds can occasionally fade and discolor over time and may have limited insulation capabilities.
Wood siding is a beautiful and aesthetic siding choice for 10×16 sheds. It has a natural and timeless look and can be customized with different types of wood species. Properly maintained wood siding can last for years, but it does have a few drawbacks. Wood siding does require regular maintenance and upkeep, like sealing and staining, and may not be as resistant to pests as other siding options.
Metal siding is an excellent choice to consider for your 10×16 shed. It is durable and often comes in a wide range of color options to match the surrounding property. Metal siding is known for its resistance to rot, pests, and fire, making it a reliable and popular choice for shed exteriors. Metal siding is weather-resistant and usually, pretty easy to install. However, it’s important to note that metal siding can be susceptible to warping or contracting with temperature changes, and there is a possibility of dents or scratches.
LP Smartside Siding
LP SmartSide siding is an engineered wood siding that is specifically designed to resist rot and decay. It offers exceptional durability and is built to withstand moisture and impacts very well. One major advantage of LP Smartside is an included warranty, covering rot and other types of harm. It serves as a strong and affordable solution for 10×16 sheds, but it is crucial to conduct regular maintenance to preserve its appearance and long-lasting strength.

In the fall of 1979 while visiting friends in Burlington, VT, I went into a McDonald’s to eat breakfast and bought a copy of the Burlington Free Press. The front page carried a story about IBM, which had a plant in Burlington. IBM, according to the story, had purchased a large tract of land on the outskirts of Athens, GA, for the purpose of building a plant there to manufacture semiconductors—components of electronic circuits. I found a pay phone and called John Toon, one of The Athens Observer’s ace reporters, and we had a scoop. As you know, IBM never did anything with the property—probably just as well in a way, because the semiconductor manufacturing process used millions of gallons of water. IBM sold to the Orkin family, and now they’ve sold some of it to Athens-Clarke County and Oconee County, who will sell it to Caterpillar. Thus, over 30 years later, we have finally hit the jobs jackpot.
As Kevan Williams points out in this issue’s Athens Rising, the deal flies in the face of all the nay-saying that pictures our area as unfriendly to business with an unattractive workforce and uncooperative local governments. Caterpillar likes us for who we are, loves us, apparently, and is ready to break ground. Once that happens, lots of suppliers are expected to buy up the rest of the IBM/Orkin property and create even more jobs supporting Caterpillar’s needs.
Still, dare I say it? You knew I would. There is something disturbing to me in that photograph of our mayor and commission and staff all posing together wearing CAT caps—the one where they’re all looking straight ahead, except for the mayor, who cuts her eyes at the camera. I certainly don’t begrudge them this moment of glory, brought about by heroic efforts from our staff, led by the manager and never-before-seen cooperation between our government and Oconee County’s.
The deal is sealed, and now we’ll see how it works out. We’ll see how Caterpillar fits into our community and how we accept Caterpillar. Up until now, everything has been top secret, as these matters always are—no press, no public meetings, no citizen involvement: the perfect business transaction, everything behind closed doors, every tax abatement, every expense for water and sewer and transportation, land purchase, workforce training—all worked out away from the prying eyes and questioning minds of our citizens: all done for us by the experts who know what we need and want and have finally figured out a way to get it for us and certainly don’t need any help from the Athens music community lamenting the trees that will be cut down.
We are welcoming a company that is on the cutting edge of adapting to modern economic realities, a highly profitable American company that is bringing jobs back home by negotiating pay cuts with unions, avoiding unions by moving to “right-to-work†states and leaving states where it deems corporate taxes too high. We welcome Caterpillar gladly, as we would welcome any other corporation that brought us jobs, because we are desperate. If they decide to retreat from their promise to pay above the median wage in Athens and Oconee, that will be okay, too. Like the rest of America, we are in no position to bargain. Caterpillar, like the automobile manufacturers, has caught on to the fact that our long-running recession has finally made it unnecessary to go to third-world countries for cheap labor when they can get it right here at home.
That’s just the facts. That’s just smart business. The “union bosses†are dead, and they never lived in Georgia, anyway. It’s a Walmart world, and Caterpillar employees, like their counterparts in the new GM jobs, will shop at Walmart to make ends meet if necessary. They’ll need the new Walmart downtown and probably a few more nearer the site.
Yeah, yeah, I know. What’s the dif? We’ve got Caterpillar and the jobs we have lacked for so long, and that’s the main thing we had to have. I’m just sayin’: we don’t know what else we’ve got, because we weren’t behind those closed doors. For this gigantic windfall to work out in the best interests of Athens-Clarke County citizens and Oconee County citizens, we are totally dependent on our elected governments and their staffs to look out for us—and they’re all wearing CAT hats.

What is WordPress? – Colorlib
Do you want to build a website for yourself or a client? Creating a new website is a challenging process in any case. For instance, you want to create something your clients would like, but you don’t want the design process to be lengthy or too complex. And if you want to build a website for your business, you’ll want to make it as perfect as possible, setting it apart from the thousands of other existing websites.
You’ve undoubtedly found WordPress in your search as a potential tool to ease the process. There is only one problem: you have no idea what WordPress is or how it might benefit you. If so, you have come to the correct spot.
This article will cover all there is to know about WordPress, starting with the foundations and moving on to learning strategies. We will also present free WordPress lessons and courses so you can learn how to maximize the potential of this platform.
WordPress is a free, open-source platform that you can use to build your own website. WordPress is a PHP-based Content Management System, also known as CMS. Currently, the simplest and most effective website builder on the market is WordPress, which is much more generalized.
WordPress is a great platform for creating a variety of websites. It is a flexible CMS that you can use to create business websites, portfolios, and e-commerce sites (more on this later). This platform is a fantastic option for both big and small websites since it was created with a focus on usability and flexibility.
What Was WordPress’s Starting Point?
WordPress began with an original concept from a regular person trying to find a solution to a problem he faced back then.
It was 2002 in this instance. College student Matt Mullenweg installed the b2 or cafelog blogging platform for his usage at the time. Due to unfortunate personal reasons, the original inventor of b2/cafelog had to stop maintaining his invention.
With the aid of Mike Little, Matt modified the original b2/cafelog system on April 1st, 2003, to produce his version. Matt then built a new branch of b2 on SourceForge. Christine Tremoulet, a friend of Matt’s, suggested naming it WordPress.
On May 27th, 2003, WordPress 0.7, the initial version, was launched. In January 2004, WordPress 1.0 was published. This version was the first to resemble the WordPress we know today. The software was a complete blogging system with search engine-friendly permalinks, many categories, easy installations, update possibilities, and comment moderation.
WordPress was fortunate to benefit from Movable Type, a rival, changing their pricing policy in the same year. Many Movable Type users left because of this modification. The greatest option while looking for an alternative was WordPress.
And at that point, WordPress started to draw attention, and the project started to take off. With several years of improvements, the platform has become what we see today, powering over 40% of all websites.
The fundamental building blocks of a WordPress site are a defined collection of items present on every WordPress site. Utilizing the platform is simple and enjoyable once you understand what each one does. In this section of the article, we’ll walk you through the essential elements of a WordPress website.
WordPress relies heavily on posts, which are used to produce numerous kinds of content. They are most frequently applied to blogs, where each new post denotes an update. Posts may also be used for any regularly scheduled or timely material, including news stories, picture galleries, and so on.
You’ll make a post using the WordPress editor. The vast majority of the choices are self-explanatory. As a result, working with WordPress is simpler than working with other platforms. Additionally, you can conduct bulk actions on several posts, which comes in handy after adding dozens or even hundreds of posts.
WordPress pages and posts are quite similar in many respects. They may both include the same material and are generated and changed using the same interface.
The primary distinction is how they are applied on your website. The main purpose of pages is to store more timeless, unchanging material that is unlikely to change frequently. For instance, you might use a post if you want to share a news item or story. In contrast, the content should be a page if it provides static information about your business or one of your offerings.
Additionally, pages are what give your website its structure. As a result, you must have at least one, typically a home page or an archive of blog posts. Nevertheless, you may add as many pages as you like, depending on the goal of your website. An About Us page with details about your business or group, a page with your privacy statement, and a Contact page where users may get in touch with you are a few typical examples.
You’ll grow extremely used to the admin interface as you use WordPress. This is the interface you use to control every element of your website, from adding new features to changing the look and feel of your pages.
The Dashboard page, which offers quick access to important parts of the admin interface, will be visible when you first sign in. Each dashboard tab is dedicated to a vital component of your website and is divided into several sections.
Plugins are among the main popular factors that make WordPress the most widely used website creation platform worldwide. A WordPress plugin is a small software that you can easily install on your website. It allows you to expand your website’s capability without needing any technological expertise.
The flexibility of plugins makes them excellent for a variety of tasks. Some plugins give your website a few tiny new functions. But some plugins have a significant impact on your website. Here is a list of popular plugins you should have on your website:
WordPress themes help you personalize the look of your website. You might think of them as the “skin” of your website, which controls how visitors see your content. WordPress comes with a handful of default themes for novices, but you’ll want something more unique.
Fortunately, you can download many free WordPress themes directly from your dashboard. There are many of them accessible.
Although the text is a necessary component of every website, you should add some other media to it. Although images are most frequently uploaded, you could also want to contribute music, video, or documents. A post with several vibrant and relevant photos and videos will engage readers and appeal to them more than one with only plain text. To help readers comprehend what you are talking about in the text visually, you may easily add some images or videos to your content.
You may use the media you’ve added to your library in your posts after that. If necessary, you may reuse your files later by keeping them all in one location and organized in the library.
A category is used in WordPress to categorize and arrange content, making it simpler for users to explore your website. There are both wide and narrow categories. For instance, a category for news posts may contain subcategories for business news, industry news, and event news.
Each category you add will instantly produce a page that lists all the posts that are associated with it. As a result, a post’s content with the assigned cooking recipe category will show up at https://name.com/category/cooking-recipe.
Categories and tags have many similarities. Although their usage is significantly different, they are similarly intended to classify material and keep your website organized. Tags are significantly more precise than categories, which usually represent the sort of material or the overall subject matter of a post.
To identify topics and terms relevant to an article, utilize tags. Let’s take the case where you wrote a piece titled How took a specific dish. You may classify this in a cooking or tutorial category. After that, you may tag it with various descriptive terms, like food, cooking, recipe, and dessert.
Every website, including WordPress, needs a database to store its information. Your website’s items and content, including articles, pages, comments, tags, categories, and much more, are stored in your database.
Although your site’s database may be its most important component, you can’t normally control it directly from the admin panel. Most users don’t even need to care about the database until there’s an issue with it or they’re developing their WordPress plugin.
The best approach to encourage direct interaction between visitors and your content is through comments. Although it is often deactivated on pages, this functionality is enabled by default on posts.
You might want to control your comments area, though. After all, some comments could be malicious in some form or generated by automated spam bots. You may control visitor messages on the comments screen to handle this.
In addition, you may flag comments as spam. Future similar posts will be automatically filtered out, thanks to this.
You can also decide to hold each comment until it has been moderated before it is posted, preventing potentially damaging or abusive comments from being displayed on your website. You can do this to review and approve comments before they are posted.
WordPress has a broad feature set as a platform for creating websites and a content management system. Numerous characteristics set this platform apart from others. The distinctive aspects of WordPress are listed below.
WordPress is a platform that enhances SEO. Technical SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is where website ranking starts, and WordPress offers an excellent coding basis for SEO.
WordPress websites are the best for Google indexing since their codes are straightforward and consistent. You may employ various features to get your website good search rankings. Selecting SEO Hosting for your website will be a smart move if you’re constructing it in an SEO-friendly manner. SEO does aid in the expansion of your local firm. Here is what you need to know about SEO hosting and how it affects your website’s rating.
Further optimizations can be done using various free WordPress plugins for SEO.
You may build any website using the WordPress platform, including personal blogs, corporate blogs, photoblogs, travel blogs, news sites, etc. With WordPress, you can pick from more than a thousand plugins and themes to improve the look and feel of your website. You may set up plugins in a matter of minutes.
You may quickly and easily install and set up a WordPress site without any technological expertise. Here, you can quickly set up a blog and easily maintain and edit your websites. Your content management is made simple with WordPress. You may schedule and post your blogs here as you choose. You have also chosen whether to make your material public or private and password-protect your posts and pages.
Easy media management
You may pick from and quickly upload photos and movies in the WordPress media library. It improves the depth of the material on your website. Drag the media content from your device and drop it into the uploader to have it posted if you want to add content or photographs. Audio, video, picture, and document media files may be dropped, dragged, filtered, ordered, and customized. Install the media management plugin if you wish to arrange your items in your media library quickly.
WordPress includes a variety of built-in themes that let you construct personal and professional blogs based on your needs. Just click the icon to submit your theme. Making your website from scratch will take a few minutes.
The procedure moves quickly and effectively. You may create a new WordPress webpage and publish the content whenever you like. Using the built-in dashboard, you may create a new post, page, theme, and much more. WordPress runs in a browser. As a result, you can quickly administer your site by logging in from any internet-connected device.
Why Should I Use WordPress to Build My Website?
Many of the most well-known companies, like Time Magazine, Facebook, Sony, Disney, Target, and The New York Times, rely on WordPress to power their websites because of its extensive feature set. Why, therefore, should you employ it?
The unique features of this platform and its cost are the two main causes. The first one has already been discussed in great depth. So now, let’s speak about the cost. WordPress is free software. It implies that you are free to download, set up, use, and alter it as necessary to suit your needs. You may make any website with it.
WordPress software is generally free, but you need a domain name and web hosting to install it. A domain name gives your website its online address. To reach your website, your users put this into the address bar of their browsers. The place where all of your website’s content and files are kept is called web hosting. The domain and web hosting may cost you money, but it isn’t that much to worry about.
Where should you start if you have no prior experience? It could not be easy to start using WordPress without basic knowledge.
That is why, as promised, we have produced a comprehensive collection of WordPress tutorials and courses.

Bitcoin is popularly known as the first cryptocurrency to grace the market over a decade ago in 2009. It was created by an individual or group of individuals under the pseudonymous name of Satoshi Nakamato. To this day, Nakamato’s real identity seems to be under wraps. Balances are recorded using a public ledger.
Bitcoin employs a network of computers to authorize transactions, and as a result, ensures they are accurate and completely secure. Blockchain is the underlying technology that powers Bitcoin is a sort of distributed ledger. The world of Bitcoin, Bitcoin tax software, cryptocurrencies, and so forth is vast. However, these are some of the fundamentals you ought to be aware of:
What are Bitcoin’s most significant features?
Before getting to the best Bitcoin tax software, here are some exciting features of Bitcoin that set them apart from fiat currencies like the U.S. Dollar (USD):
This happens to be one of Bitcoin’s primary features. Bitcoin is based on a decentralized system. Since Bitcoin uses a cluster of computers to secure and authorize transactions, there is no single point of control, which means that there is a low chance of catastrophic system failure. If there is a failure somewhere within the system, it can be remedied.
As mentioned earlier, Bitcoin works on Blockchain networks. Blockchain is known to be a public ledger that stores all legitimate transactions that are carried out between users. Anyone on the network may access this ledger to view the transactions that are carried out, thereby ensuring complete transparency.
Bitcoin transactions are incredibly fast. You can transfer bitcoins in a matter of seconds in the network, which is not the case with regular banks that typically take a few days to complete transactions.
How does Bitcoin Tax work?
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has deemed cryptocurrencies to be property for tax purposes. In other words, gains made from Bitcoin transactions will be considered capital gains. If you purchase a Bitcoin using fiat currencies such as the U.S. Dollar, it is not a taxable event. However, if you use Bitcoins to buy something, it is considered to be a sale of property, which is a taxable event.
If you hold your Bitcoin for less than 12 months before selling it, the gains you make will be considered short-term gains. However, if you hold the Bitcoin for more than a year before you use it for transactions, you will have to pay long-term capital gains. Long-term capital gains generally have a lower tax rate than short-term capital gains.
The Bitcoin Tax Software you ought to know about
Regardless of your experience as a crypto trader, calculating your crypto taxes can be a cumbersome task. It is tedious because you will have to record the price of the Bitcoin at the time of purchase and when you sell it. Additionally, you will need to know how long you have held each Bitcoin, and this can be particularly challenging if you are carrying out hundreds of transactions.
Considering how complicated the process is, crypto companies have developed a variety of Bitcoin tax software to simplify the process of calculating the tax you are liable to pay on your Bitcoin within minutes. There are a plethora of Bitcoin tax software to choose from. Here is our list of the best ones out there:
CoinTracker has made a name for itself as a comprehensive Bitcoin tax software. CoinTracker enables crypto traders to connect to all the leading crypto exchanges, wallets, and so on. It also updates your crypto transactions automatically. Additionally, this Bitcoin tax software can be used to generate tax reports in a matter of minutes.
ZenLedger is undoubtedly one of the easiest-to-use Bitcoin tax software on the market. ZenLedger is capable of many things, including importing and integrating all your crypto transactions, filling out the IRS form 8949, producing profit and loss statements that are easy to comprehend, and so forth. In addition to this, ZenLedger can produce donation reports, capital gain reports, income reports, and closing reports without a problem.
Koinly is popularly known as one of the most intuitive Bitcoin tax software on the market today. This Bitcoin tax software can compute your total Bitcoin tax amount and minimize the tax liability on the assets you have. Just like the Bitcoin tax software mentioned above, Koinly is compatible with just about every leading cryptocurrency exchange on the market. You can expect Koinly to yield accurate tax reports.
Here is another excellent Bitcoin tax software thrown in for good measure. BearTax is considered to be one of the most reliable Bitcoin tax software you can ever hope to use. It enables crypto users to import their crypto transaction data for just about every crypto exchange. It also lets you review and process your crypto transactions. Additionally, BearTax produces essential tax documents that you can use with a Bitcoin tax software of your choice or transfer to your accountant.

We’ll ship you a myFT Day by day Digest e-mail rounding up the most recent Oil & Fuel trade information each morning.
Anybody driving again house from their summer season holidays within the final couple of weeks can not have failed to note that petrol and diesel costs are rising once more.
The rise in UK pump costs throughout August was one of many greatest month-to-month jumps on file, in response to the automotive companies group RAC, which pointed to an increase of 7-8p on common in the price of a litre of gas to about £1.52-£1.55 a litre. Greater petrol pump costs should not restricted to the UK, with gasoline leaping within the US, Europe and Asia, too.
A part of that is simply defined by stronger crude oil costs in current weeks — Brent crude has risen from $78 a barrel in mid-July to prime $90 a barrel on Tuesday, largely pushed by output cuts by Saudi Arabia and Russia. However a much less properly understood issue is refining prices.
Petrol, diesel but additionally jet fuels have been on a tear in current weeks because of limits in refining capability. Take diesel. Whereas crude is up about 14 per cent of late, wholesale diesel costs in Europe have jumped greater than 25 per cent. Gasoline has additionally posted sturdy positive factors, with costs largely catching up and even overtaking diesel in wholesale markets.
The Worldwide Vitality Company stated in its final oil market report that refiners have been having fun with “near-record earnings”.
The short-term components driving the power in refined fuels vary from low inventories to stronger demand from airways and motorists in the course of the summer season months. Refiners and wholesalers could also be eager to maintain fewer barrels in inventory, as increased rates of interest make financing stockpiles of gas more difficult.
However the longer-term situation is one among capability and availability of the fitting sorts of feedstocks. Europe’s refineries are usually older and fewer aggressive than extra trendy vegetation opening in Asia, so when the pandemic hit three years in the past the weakest vegetation shut their doorways for good. About 5 per cent of Europe’s refining capability was misplaced throughout this era, leaving the regional market tighter now that demand is generally again to regular.
The conflict in Ukraine has additional difficult provides, as sanctions have largely barred Russian barrels from the European market. Russia was the only largest exporter of diesel into the EU earlier than 2022.
The IEA believes European refiners can also be struggling to get the identical processing yields, having needed to substitute Russian crude barrels as feedstock, which many vegetation have been configured for.
“The shift to various, suboptimal crude grades have pushed refineries to processing limits,” the IEA stated, warning that it anticipated European refining runs to be about 5 per cent decrease within the third quarter than they have been final 12 months.
Whereas the oil market has finished a comparatively spectacular job of reorganising provides, with extra diesel now coming to Europe from India and the Center East, delivery occasions are longer and costlier.
There may be little urge for food in Europe and the US to put money into new refining capability, regardless of the sturdy margins on provide, because the rising uptake of electrical automobiles is ultimately anticipated to chop deeply into demand.
The worldwide image might quickly present at the very least a modicum of reduction for motorists, although it’s unlikely to be a panacea. Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest man, is because of begin up his 600,000 barrel a day mega-refinery in Nigeria quickly, probably earlier than the tip of this 12 months.
Not too long ago accomplished vegetation in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Oman are additionally ramping up, with the IEA predicting that refinery processing globally will rise about 1.9mn barrel per day this 12 months. Chinese language refiners have additionally been handed bigger export quotas by Beijing.
Analysts at Vitality Features argued this week that some speculative merchants are more likely to unwind current bets on worth positive factors in refined merchandise persevering with to outstrip crude. However sturdy refining margins are, for the second, unlikely to break down.
“Sturdy demand and underperforming runs because of crude and feedstock mismatch points will imply some tightness persists into 2024,” Vitality Features stated.
The larger concern round how a lot we pay on the pump could also be that, even when refining margins do cool off considerably, crude costs might properly hold rising. With Saudi Arabia saying on Tuesday it is going to prolong voluntary crude manufacturing cuts till the tip of this 12 months, Brent costs seem like pointing increased, transferring above $90 a barrel for the primary time in 2023.
Which will contribute to decreasing the margins refiners are incomes, however it is going to present little succour for drivers. Summer time is likely to be over. However a winter of discontent nonetheless looms on forecourts. | <urn:uuid:6269f23d-9d2b-4f2d-8581-1d6b106b1a4f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://fmtradespeople.com/a-winter-of-discontent-looms-on-petrol-station-forecourts/ | 2023-09-27T11:49:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.949039 | 1,040 |

I have known and loved many baked oatmeals over the years. There’s one in The Food in Jars Kitchen (featuring lots of applesauce) and a jam-studded one in the archives. I appreciate them for their ease. A single batch means breakfast is made for the week (something I particularly value these days).
All my previous baked oatmeal experiences have called for rolled oats, which are a staple in most kitchens (including mine). But when I found myself with a large jar of steel cut oats that needed to be used, I started to wonder whether they could sub in for their rolled brethern.
I did a little searching and discovered a recipe on Alexandra’s Kitchen that I used as my guide. I used more liquid (for a softer, more custardy consistency), opted for raisins rather than fresh fruit (for speed and sweetness), and omitted the additional sugar (opting instead to sweeten with a dollop of jam upon serving).
The finished baked oatmeal has a pleasingly nubbly texture from the steel cut oats and the plump, tender raisins are welcome counterpoints. If you hate dried fruit (particularly the rehydrated variety), feel free to use fresh fruit like Ali does. I like what the raisins do, and love the fact that all I have to do is tip the jar (rather than wash, peel, or chop).
I’ve been using my Breville CombiWave (see here for my partnership with Breville) to bake this oatmeal because it offers something my traditional oven doesn’t. Automatic shut-off. You choose the convection oven setting, select the temperature (I lower the temperature by 25 degrees when using convection), set the time and it cooks precisely and perfectly.
This means that no matter how distracted I get by the babies, I never lose track of the baking oatmeal and burn the batch. I realize that people have had ovens with automatic shut-offs for years, but with my 55 year old oven, I’ve never had that option. It’s glorious!
Baked Steel Cut Oatmeal with Dried Fruit and Nuts
- 3/4 cup steel cut oatmeal
- 1/2 cup chopped almonds walnuts, or pecans
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 cup raisins chopped dried apricots, or other dried fruit
- 2 cups milk
- 2/3 cup water
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons butter melted and cooled slightly
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (if you're using convection, reduce heat by 25°).
- Combine the oats, nuts, baking powder, salt, and dried fruit in an 8x8 baking dish.
- In a four cup measuring cup, whisk together the milk, water, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the liquid over the ingredients in the baking dish. Place in the oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes.
- Eat hot, chilled or at room temperature. | <urn:uuid:0be18374-0ce3-4469-8422-7ee45a24856c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://foodinjars.com/recipe/baked-steel-cut-oatmeal-with-dried-fruit-and-nuts/ | 2023-09-27T11:55:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.932095 | 659 |

January 10, 2013
It is now public knowledge that the Law Offices of Marshall C. Watson, P.A., a Florida foreclosure mill, has been ordered to be shut down and closed pursuant to a Consent Judgment with The Florida Bar, which also suspends the lead attorney for 91 days and found that an attorney in the Firm was paid $1.00 for each of the thousands of Affidavits “robo-signed” outside of the presence of a Notary and without that attorney having knowledge of what was being signed, which Affidavits were filed in courts. The Bar has stated that it is “the lowest point” in the foreclosure process.
Like the prior closure of the infamous Law Offices of David J. Stern, P.A. (which was formerly the most active Florida foreclosure mill which left over 100,000 foreclosure cases in limbo when the office shut down), the closing of Marshall Watson will leave tens of thousands of foreclosure cases without counsel and thus “up in the air” to be re-routed to other Firms, assuming they will accept them. With the legal infirmities in these files, no other Firm may want to take on a file from a Firm which has been found (and admitted) to have created fraudulent foreclosure documents. Many of the Stern cases still have not been re-assigned to this day despite that Firm having been out of business for over a year.

When America Became a Cyberwarrior
A secret document shows the NSA has been planning attacks since the Clinton years.
At a time when Chinese malware is targeting America's computer infrastructure and U.S.-Israeli worms (e.g., Stuxnet) have reportedly attacked Iranian centrifuges, a recently declassified item from the National Security Agency (NSA) offers a little history on how at least one part of the U.S. government foresaw its role in the growing field of "Information Warfare."
At a time when Chinese malware is targeting America’s computer infrastructure and U.S.-Israeli worms (e.g., Stuxnet) have reportedly attacked Iranian centrifuges, a recently declassified item from the National Security Agency (NSA) offers a little history on how at least one part of the U.S. government foresaw its role in the growing field of "Information Warfare."
This short item from a classified NSA publication reveals that as far back as 1997 the super-secret agency was tasked with finding ways not just to listen in on our enemies (the NSA’s usual stock-in-trade), but actually to attack hostile computer networks. The document proclaimed that "the future of warfare is warfare in cyberspace," and it sketched out how tomorrow’s "Information Warriors" would think, act, and fight on the new digital battlefield.
The NSA’s involvement in cybersecurity is an outgrowth of its longtime role in ensuring communications and information security for various components of the government and private sector, in addition to its need to guarantee the security of the computers it has relied on heavily for decades. Its role in computer-network exploitation — of gathering electronic "data at rest" — is a natural extension of its decades-old role of gathering "data in motion" via signals intelligence.
According to the document’s author, a former special assistant to the NSA’s director, the new activities — not just "exploitation" and "protection," but "attack" — were "sure to be a catalyst for major change" at the agency. But, he pointed out to his colleagues, there should be no doubt that a new age of warcraft was dawning, brought about in no small part by changing mores in American society. Because of the information age, he wrote, "physical combat can be viewed in living rooms of America via television," and as a result, "[t]he horrors of war cannot be hidden." Therefore, "in the simplest of terms, ‘body bags’ are no longer acceptable," and there is "considerable societal pressure to find non-lethal means of accomplishing tasks that once called for conventional military action."
By all accounts, we’re now seeing signs of that new-age approach, although whether its repercussions will be entirely non-lethal remains to be determined.

Are you interested in harnessing the power of the sun to help reduce your energy bills and make a positive impact on the environment? Solar power is a great way to do just that, and it can be done through a do-it-yourself solar project. If you’re ready to take the plunge into the world of solar power, then this blog post is for you! We’ll go over all the steps you need to take in order to get started with your own DIY solar power project. Get ready to enjoy the benefits of solar energy and start taking control of your energy bills today!
Assess your needs
If you’re interested in exploring the potential of solar energy, then a do-it-yourself (DIY) solar project is a great place to start. Before you get started, it’s important to assess your needs. This can help ensure that your DIY solar project is successful and will be able to meet your energy requirements.
First, consider what you need your solar energy for. If you want to use solar energy as a portable source of power, such as for camping trips or hikes, you’ll need to determine the size and type of solar panel you’ll need. For example, if you’re looking for a system that can charge your phone or laptop while you’re on the go, a small foldable panel with an included battery bank may be all that you need.
If you’re looking to use solar energy as a back up system for power outages, then you’ll need to assess the size of your home and figure out how much power you’ll need. Once you know the wattage you’ll require, you can then decide how many panels and batteries you need.
Finally, if you’re looking to use solar energy as a supplemental source of power for your home, then again you’ll need to figure out the wattage you’ll require and determine the number of panels and batteries that can meet this requirement.
By assessing your needs before starting a DIY solar project, you can ensure that your project is tailored to fit your requirements and that you’ll have enough energy to power whatever project or activity you have in mind. What are some other important considerations?

DALLAS (AP) — American Airlines parent AMR Corp. plans to ask a bankruptcy judge on Thursday to approve its turnaround plan that includes a merger with US Airways, even though the federal government has sued to block the deal.
The hearing in New York had been expected to be one of the final steps before AMR could close the merger and exit bankruptcy protection after nearly two years.
But AMR could spend several more months in bankruptcy court while it fights to save the merger. The U.S. Justice Department and six states sued to block the deal on Tuesday, saying it would hurt competition and cause consumers to pay higher fares.
AMR executives “would have preferred that (Thursday’s) hearing be the final episode in this long effort,” said Joe Sims, an antitrust lawyer in Washington who was hired by American. “It’s not going to be now, and they will deal with that.”
AMR filed for bankruptcy protection in November 2011 after losing billions of dollars in the previous decade. The company, which also owns the American Eagle regional airline, has used the bankruptcy process to rework labor contracts and claim other cost savings. Last month, it reported its first second-quarter profit in six years.
In February, it announced plans to merge with US Airways, a deal that would make American the world’s biggest airline in terms of miles flown by passengers. | <urn:uuid:d324772a-7f7d-4bfa-a723-775597c08b80> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://fortworthbusiness.com/transportation/amr-soldiers-on-despite-justice-dept-moves/ | 2023-09-27T12:35:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.97482 | 291 |
I think of using Beagle Board as (part of) a portable audio recorder and so I am interested in the audio qualities of the board. All I could find out is that the TWL4030's max. sampling rate is 96 kHz . What's the resolution of the codec? Did anyone here measure THD and S/N ratio of the audio chain?
The board setup is not for highest-possible quality audio, so
performing exact measurements hasn't been a top priority. You can
find the general answers to your query in the manual:
http://www.beagleboard.org/uploads/Beagle_HRM_B4.pdf (THD: -80dB).

My name is John Michael. I have been a member here for a while but mostly read on here. I have posted once regarding PFTs when my wife and I found out that we were to be blessed with our second child. The pregnancy was mostly good with minimal issues. My wife entered the hospital for a tune-up due to PFTs not increasing enough with at-home meds. We had a new issue come up that we hadn't dealth with and she spent the next week in ICU. Our baby boy was born during a procedure by emergency C-section due to complications during the procedure. My beautiful wife spent the next week fighting on as incredibly best she could, as she always has. During our time in ICU and due to said complications, she was called home to live eternal life. I have decided that I want to continue to be involved in the CF community and do all I can to honor her name. I love her dearly and I hope that one day when our children are older, they will want to participate and learn more about how we were impacted by CF. I am currently following a young lady by the name of Christina Davidson on facebook and I want to contribute to her walk on the CF Foundation website. I am wanting to do some type of fundraiser in our community to contribute to the cause. I am looking for ideas on what might be a good one to do and am asking for suggestions as I have never done anything like this. I would love to have the feedback of members and am looking forward to hearing from you. | <urn:uuid:25b3ddf1-e21c-4708-8f0f-cbe3adeb6fb7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://forum.cysticfibrosis.com/threads/honoring-my-wife.118196/ | 2023-09-27T11:16:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.991902 | 316 |

Hi everybody, I have a project set up on Heroku using Express, Nodejs, and MongoDB where you can request an image of the sky above your current location. If you register, you can save those images in an image gallery displayed on your account’s page, which works by adding the image src to a “saved” array in each document representing the user.
I added a “Delete All” button that erases the entire gallery at once, but don’t know how to approach allowing the user to delete them individually? Is there a way to store the index of each image so that a user can click on one image and delete them?
Also as a follow up question, is there a way to delete the images without refreshing the page? Currently the “Delete All” button reloads the page after deleting the image array field in MongoDB.
Here is the project link:
And you can also use the following credentials on the project itself:
Thank you! Please let me know if I can clarify anything.
Hi I’m never use mongoDB but im looking your code and if I am understand it well maybe the most simple solution would be to add and id to each image or even let the user to introduce the “title” or the day they get the picture and then when charged into html charge also that attribute as a parameter of the image.
For the user approach you can add a litle red paper bin on the title of each img with a click event that get the id in order to make the petition to mongo, or make a button that lets select several images and then delete those images.
Dont know if it will work on mongo cause i’ve always worked on relational but that will be my approach to the case
edit because i have bad english and its cleaner :
- when users load and image add an id.
2.store that id (not necesary have to be “id” word can be name or whatever)
load it in the general view
use as attribute in onclick event to target the img
pass that id to the database with a delete order
pd: Good job, looks awesome!
@jesusMAes thanks for walking me through this! I have a better intuition about this issue now. I’m storing the index in a data attribute because that seemed to make sense semantically. I think I can pass that to mongo and use $arrayElemAt to delete from there.
Haven’t decided yet which approach I want on the user end but i’ll post an update once it’s working! Thanks for the compliment, this is my first “serious” coding project so it’s appreciated

At the right end of a macOS menu bar are menus with icons instead of names, e.g., Sound, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Time Machine. Is there a way for a "Select Menu Item" action to select an item in one of these special menus?
I've created KM macros to select items in the Sound menu using "Move and Click and Drag" actions to simulate mouse actions on the menus based on screen positions relative to the upper-right corner of the screen.
There are two serious shortcoming of simulating mouse actions on menus:
- The horizontal position of the Icon menus change because the width of the date and time (at the right end of the menu bar) varies.
- The list of menu items changes, e.g., when devices are added or removed. | <urn:uuid:5e224ce8-782b-443d-8edb-422033cc6b74> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://forum.keyboardmaestro.com/t/can-select-menu-item-select-an-item-in-an-icon-menu/33152 | 2023-09-27T12:57:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.823458 | 164 |

Sorry for not posting here in a long time. But really there comes a time. Where a great player must move on. As much as it is nothing personal. As this was a business decision on Irsay. But also if he doesn't retire, then hope a team can use his services. But wishing him nothing but the best of luck.
Can't wait for the schedule to be released. And really always look forward to this. I will admit that the pre-season schedule is and looks great! But really can't wait for the regular season schedule. A week from yesterday, it will be released on 4/22!
Glad to see that our KOS-P Pat McAfee got himself a five-year $14M deal with $5M guaranteed. As he is not just a great player on the field. But an awesome person off it in the community. And has a career in entertainment once his career is all said and done. Really like this kid! Keep it up Pat. Stay out of the canal though!
Sure no football! But can't wait for the spring to get here. As really winter has been beyond our expectations. Hope that it will be one warm spring. As really can't wait for not too hot nor cold weather to come! But spring on the bad side of me, is that my sinuses really get to me!
No football as football has ended. But now it is Sochi Games. As ready as love the Winter Games. Fun and doing it hard in the snow! And in the cold! Hope it goes off without a hitch. Despite the fact of a lot going on there.
Congrats on Peyton and the third Super Bowl that he is going to in NY. Hope that he wins it. As this could be his last game. As hope that if it is, he will ride off into the sunset! Like his boss and friend, John Elway did back in the late 1990s! Good luck Peyton!
Game against the Chiefs really was great. But really the real test begins with the Patriots. As the Colts need to get over that hump. As hopefully that they will! Colts just need to take one step at a time. And not rush it. As they hopefully will come away with a win against the Patriots! Taking one huge step on their way to NY and SB 48!
Congrats to Peyton Manning as the SI Man of the Year for 2013! Nobody deserves it better than he does. After all he had been through in 2011. As he has really done well and thrived.Even though we are very, very glad that we have Andrew Luck. Still the name Manning will, never, ever be forgotten. Both on and off the field. As nobody deserves this honor more than #18! Way to go Peyton!
Colts are in a must win for the team. As it will help them not just win the AFC South. But also help them in #2 or #3 place. In the playoffs. As Denver will get #1. While Patriots might get #2. Depending on their next few games. As it is must win baby for December!
Hope that you all have had a great Halloween. As hope that you all have had a great trick or treating. For those of you that did go. And that you were safe and sound. And that you checked your kids candy after you came home. BTW, quit Trick or Treating at 13-years old. Moved out of the way you can say so that other younger kids could have their fun in the sun!
I am watching some football as I watch regardless of who is playing. But also will be attending for a couple of hours, a baby shower. As this is the fourth week I am missing out on Sunday football, all in October. First two weeks away in Disney World. Last week my niece's 18th birthday. And now a baby shower. Noting against those but still, missing out on all day football for four weeks! Have you all seen that Drew Brees commercial on Verizon where one woman is missing out on kick off over atte
Colts really wanted it more. Peyton will always be a class act.No matter where he plays. As really nice tribute to him. But the Colts wanted it more. As they knew Peyton it seems inside out. But still, really great game. Wonder how many people watch the game last night. Bet it was one of the highest rated Sunday Night Football games in history!
This could be up there in the Sunday Night Football as Peyton returns since 2013 to Indianapolis. As he and the Broncos go against the Colts. It should be a heck of a game.And don't want to give the score out here.This is about a classy guy who is still missed and has really has nothing but awesome things to say about the Colts and Indy. Showing you he is a class act all the way. Regardless of what is going on! He is missed still! But also glad that he is such a classy guy! This will rank up the
Well what could be the Cleveland Browns loss could turn into the Indianapolis Colts gain. As hope that by trading up Richardson. It will be all worth it. As just look at it as a positive play. Just hope he can bring it here in Indy!
It is good to have a Win in the column. As really it feels so good. To do that! Sure it may not had been a blow out. But still, the team pulled it together. And this is only the first win. With several more to go!
Pre-season is here. And despite the thrashing at the hands of the Bills. Be happy that it was not a game that counted. Pre-season is here so that players who have not been drafted can win a spot or be put on the practice squad. It does matter to them despite not mattering to us fans or other players that have a guaranteed lock on their jobs!

Perhaps one can not ask such a question, but I was wondering at which time in the game it was the most fun to play.
Edited by ZOS_Icy on October 28, 2022 3:59PM
I am stil only 5 weeks in the game and currently at level 39, and for now I can kill the delve bosses and the 4 daedra and the beasts spawning out of thin air, and I finally got a damage shield and a weapon with some penetrating abillity.
I am going to try a public dungeon and see what happens, and hopefully join some world events and try and learn how it is played correctly.
But there ia a lot talk about how annoingly it is when some stats are being nerfed, contra how boringly easy it is to kill everything.
I am clearly not at that level, but it made me wonder if it is getting more and more fun to play towards the max level, or if there is a spot at at a certain level, where thje game is most rewarding towards enjoying playing it ?
I am still fighting this game and some days are really fun and good and other days are totally frustrating with stupid game machanics and stupid "you have to go there" questline and as soon as you set foot in the area "completed: you have to go there" "go back to where you just came from"
So are the quests getting more "adult friendly" or will they still be somewhat childish ? Or am I simply missing something the game is trying to offer me ? | <urn:uuid:9f0abdf2-f262-42cb-b7e4-669159c3ee91> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/7742469 | 2023-09-27T12:57:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.979502 | 320 |
Physicist Steven Weinberg, Not Just Another Lady of Shalott
A high point of this year’s World Science Festival will be the June 4 lecture by American Jewish physicist Steven Weinberg, “The Future of Big Science” at the NYU Kimmel Center. Predicting the future is always parlous, but Weinberg, 1979 Nobel Prize co-laureate for, as the Nobel Committee put it, “contributions to the theory of the unified weak and electromagnetic interaction between elementary particles, including inter alla the prediction of the weak neutral current,” is uniquely qualified to do so.
No weak force himself, Weinberg lectures in a resonant baritone, delivering his ideas with powerful imagery and literary force. Weinberg’s father Frederick was a New York court stenographer, which may have influenced his son’s solidly enunciated public speaking voice, as if dictating patiently for transcription. A graduate of The Bronx High School of Science, Weinberg is something of an Anglophile, and likens himself to “some lakeside Lady of Shalott” as he sits at home in Texas, overhearing noisy pleasure boat traffic on Lake Austin. The aforementioned reference to a celebrated Tennyson poem is in Weinberg’s “Lake Views: This World and the Universe,” out in 2010 from Harvard University Press, and due out in paperback on November 30.
Weinberg always provides stimulating ideas, often controversial ones, as when he declared on PBS-TV’s Faith and Reason show:
Certainly good causes have sometimes been mobilized under the banner of religion, but you find the opposite I think more often the case. It’s more often been the motivation for us to kill each other — not only for people of one religion to kill those of another, but even within religions. After all, it was a Moslem who killed Sadat. It was a devout Jew who killed Rabin. It was a devout Hindu who killed Gandhi. […] It seems to me that with or without religion good people will behave well and bad people will do evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
Weinberg’s dedicated analyses of the rapport between science and religion embrace a wide range of reading and subject matter, from his proven fields of expertise to such recondite material as 17th century Turkish military history. Throughout, a strong sense of ethics is a clear motivating force, as in 2007, when Weinberg protested a UK boycott of Israeli universities by refusing in turn to lecture at Imperial College London. New Yorkers are fortunate to have the chance to hear him on June 4.

In observing my son when he is extremely intent on doing something, I notice that he sits in concentration, with his tongue out, pressed firmly between his lips.
It was something that I did as a kid as well. Several of my other family members also demonstrated the same behavior when deeply focused. I also remember being corrected for the behavior. The theory was that I could possibly bite down on my tongue because I was so focused.
I don’t really do it so much as an adult, and I wonder if it’s because of a lack of focus. I am envious of my son because he is still able to focus 100% of his efforts on a worthwhile task or activity. Maybe he’s making or creating, researching or learning about something new. I love that the tongue is out because I know that he is completely engaged in what he’s doing.
I wish I could pour myself into something so deeply, but I feel like I’m pulled in twelve different directions.
So, today, I’m going to try to remember to stick my tongue out and focus on one thing at a time. Please don’t judge. Just know that I’m concentrating and it’s a beautiful thing. | <urn:uuid:806da5a8-e802-4239-91fb-e0b0ef5898c8> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://fouroclockfaculty.com/2021/03/tongue-out/ | 2023-09-27T11:26:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.9826 | 262 |
Did you know that 2017 marks the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation? Let me tell you what that means. The Protestant Reformation was a very special time in church history when many people in Europe turned back to God and His Word instead of believing what their church — the Roman Catholic Church — taught them. People began to realize for the first time what the Bible taught!
One of those people was a man named Martin Luther who began to read his Bible. Soon he was shocked to discover that his church was teaching serious errors. In the next few Kid’s Corners, we will explore some important parts of the Reformation for ourselves, and see just how much it has changed things for us today.
What would your life have been like if you had lived in Germany in the years before the Reformation? It would have been very, very different from life as we know it today! For instance, you would not have had hot water at the turn of a tap, or chocolate in a colorful package, or sneakers for your feet, or photographs of your family to look at. We enjoy these things today, but if we didn’t have them, our life and happiness wouldn’t be affected too much. On the other hand, what a difference the church’s teaching made in Martin Luther’s day. Today, we can go to church and freely hear the good news that Jesus saves by grace alone. Before the Reformation, there were all kinds of disturbing things taking place that caused hardship and confusion for people. Today, we will look at one of the worst of those practices, and why Martin Luther, the leader of the Reformation, began to speak out against it.
First, let’s imagine we are in the 1500’s and you are walking down your village street. The first person you might meet would look like a kind of salesman, but he would not be selling something to help your health or your family. He would be selling expensive pieces of paper called “indulgences” that were supposed to be tickets to heaven. Since ordinary people did not have a copy of the Bible, they could not read that the only way to heaven was by accepting Jesus as their Savior. The priests assured them that they didn’t need to repent and trust in Christ, but they had to buy indulgences to go to heaven. It looked like an easy way to get there. Indulgences stamped with the church’s approval promised to spare them from the torments of hell! Selling indulgences made the church rich, the people poor, and worst of all, gave thousands false hope that they could get to heaven another way.
Martin Luther studied his Bible thoroughly and discovered that indulgences were not even mentioned, so how could they take away sin and get someone to heaven? Then he realized that the church was actually selling indulgences in order to make money! This is what he said:
“ . . . those preachers of indulgences are in error, who say that by the pope’s indulgences a man is freed from every penalty, and saved.”
Martin Luther preached against the Roman Catholic Church’s claim that they could “sell” salvation for money. He shared with the people of Germany the truth that he found in the Bible, “The just shall live by faith” (Romans 1:17), which means we need to receive God’s salvation as a free gift. His message is still true and is a warning to anyone who thinks he can get into heaven another way, like trying to pay with money or good deeds. What about you? Are you going to heaven the right way? It’s really important to
make sure you are doing it God’s way. The Lord Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6).

All of the products that we feature in this article are independently tested & chosen by our editors. FragMeta may receive a commission on any products you buy through the links in this article.
Below, I’ll be reviewing each pick in-detail to give you the low-down on the biggest pros and cons about each option, as well as introduce you to a few different winners in each given purpose-category of adapters available.
1. NETGEAR Nighthawk AC1900 – The Best Gaming USB Wi-Fi Adapter
Much like with BlueTooth adapters for gaming – USB Wi-Fi adapters offer the convenience of total portability, and a very simple plug and play setup, often without missing out on any of the latest tech either.
If you’re looking for a super simple solution that features absolutely stellar capabilities and fantastic bandwidth capacity for gaming – the Nighthawk AC1900 by NETGEAR is the first (and possibly only) option that you should look at.
This WiFi adapter features speeds of up to 600 Mbps on a 2.4 GHz connection or a whopping 1,300 Mbps on a 5 GHz channel. In addition to this, the AC1900 is compatible with just about any router and 802.11ac network on the planet – offering high speeds that can even surpass a corded connection in some cases.
Tech specs aside, this wireless adapter features one of the best solid magnetic cradles that helps you lock the NETGEAR Nighthawk AC1900 in place and prevent accidental knockouts, as well as an intelligent 3×4 MIMO design with 3 separate spatial streams allowing you to have several devices interloped for seamless file transfer without any bandwidth blockage or lag. Another great point in this unit’s favor lies in the fact that it ships with a comprehensive mobile app (NETGEAR Genie), which allows you to control and monitor your connection from any mobile device.
However, as with all great things – there are reportedly some drawbacks. On the web, some owners of this adapter have been complaining that the build quality isn’t exactly rock solid. From flimsy fitment to out-of-the-box durability issues, or the unit being accident-prone thanks to its antennas – it’s important to remember that at the end of the day, this is an external peripheral and as such, it’s not quite as shielded as any of its PCI-E counterparts would be.
2. ASUS AC3100 / PCE-AC88 – The Best PCI-E Adapter For Gaming
Let’s say that the USB dongle life isn’t exactly “up your alley” or maybe you just want something a little more durable and sturdy, without sacrificing any of the performance that the AC1900 has to offer.
Well, dear reader, in that case – the ASUS PCE-AC88 (also known as the AC3100) is probably your best bet in the PCI-E adapter category!
This adapter features 4 dedicated high power external antennas allowing it to provide a stellar range with blazing-fast speeds and relay capabilities, allowing it to function as a full-fledged extender without becoming a bottleneck.
One thing that I’m personally very impressed by when it comes to the AC3100 is the fact that they’ve worked in a very impressive heatsink, paving the way for this adapter to be rated as one of the coolest-running in 2020. And while your wireless card running hot may not seem like a big deal, keeping it nice and cool seriously helps you get way better speeds to your desktop computer.
Getting back to the performance tech, we’ve got a dual-band wireless adapter chipset with the 5 GHz band clocking 2,100 Mbps and the 2.4 GHz band 1,000 Mbps of throughput respectively. Couple this with a whole host of creature comforts like magnetic antennas and the support for custom hardware tweaks, and you’ve got one hell of a WiFi adapter on your hands. One that’s well worth the serious price tag too!
3. TRENDnet AC1900 TEW-809UB – Best USB Adapter For Coverage
While the NETGEAR Nighthawk AC1900 certainly makes one hell of a case for itself as a runner up for the title of best wifi adapter for gaming, at least in the USB Wi-Fi adapters category – it relies on implicit antennas (internal) for its connectivity, making it a little “limited” per se.
On the other hand, the TRENDnet TEW-809UB offers a compatible technological offering, with improved coverage thanks to its 4 detachable external antennas with MU-MIMO and beamforming technology built-in.
This wireless adapter offers some very reliable dual-band wireless speeds. With the 5 GHz band boasting a throughput of 1,300 Mbps, and its 2.4 GHz counterpart clocking a solid 600 Mbps. Overtop of this, thanks to the fact that the TEW-809UB employs beamforming – this adapter is one of the best on the market for UHD video streaming (4K+ resolution, ultra HD quality). And that’s certainly not an easy commendation to come by!
In the aesthetics department, this USB adapter honestly looks more like a dedicated router of its own. And despite seeming a tad bulky at first, it’s actually compact and fits great with just about any sort of setup that you may have going on.
All in all, if you’re looking for something a little more serious than the Nighthawk AC1900, and are willing to spend a bit more on it too – this may just be the best option for you.
4. Linksys WUSB6300 – The Best Budget Option
It’s cool to have all the latest tech at your fingertips – but realistically, that’s just not an option for some of us. Whether you’re not keen to spend a fortune on a USB wifi adapter to fuel your virtual adventuring, or simply don’t need anything that advanced, sometimes taking the budget route may just be the best idea.
When it comes to offering stellar connectivity, great speeds, and a reliable stream, at a bargain price – the Linksys WUSB6300 is hard to beat!
Clocking in at the size of a flash drive, this micro-sized USB port adapter offers AC1200 wireless capabilities through an incredibly simple plug and play approach. In terms of speeds, this little external wireless card in a thumb drive boasts a rather impressive 860 Mbps on a 5 GHz band, and around 300 Mbps on 2.4GHz. It also features MU-MIMO and Beamforming tech, making it quite powerful and capable of bearing the intensive network load that comes with serious gaming without any sort of bottleneck or lag.
The only potential drawback to going with this adapter is the fact that the range isn’t the best, and it lacks a lot of the high-tech packed into more advanced options we’ve covered. However, at a price below $50, it’s a seriously hard to beat bargain!
5. TP-Link Archer T3U Plus – The Best Cheap / Starter Option
The WUSB6300 (covered above) does an absolutely stellar job in the sub-$50 category. However, some people’s budgets might just run a bit tighter. If you fall into that category – don’t stress. We’ve got just the option for you!
The TP-Link Archer T3U Plus offers pretty comparable tech to the WUSB6300 – dual-band connectivity, MU-MIMO beamforming, and a set of fantastic high gain antennas. However, it really differs in two main areas – the price, and the protocol it employs.
With this TP-Link adapter, you’ll be running an AC1300 connection, which is a decent step over it’s AC1200 predecessors. On a 5 GHz stream, you’ll be seeing 867 Mbps, while on the 2.4GHz end of the equation you’ll get around 400 Mbps. And when you consider that this plug and play USB WiFi adapter for gaming runs just under $30, that’s definitely nothing to scoff at.
What Features Make A Good Wireless Adapter
Not all wireless adapters are built equal. From differences in shape and size to huge functional gaps – there are lots of aspects and features to cover. But, which of the features you’d come to find with most models on the market today really make a good wireless adapter for gaming?
Form Factor / Type
Wi-Fi adapters come in all shapes and sizes these days. However, in terms of types (otherwise known as the form factor), you’ve really only got two key options. You’ve got the convenient USB adapter and its more hardcore and somewhat more effective PCI-E counterpart.
In addition to this, both types of adapters may also feature an antenna extender, which stretches out from the device itself to provide more extensive coverage and better signal strength through the use of multiple antennae.
The Protocol / Speed
Most of the time, whether in the title or in the description of an adapter, you’ll find a rating like AC1200, AC1900, or even AC3100. But what does this actually mean?
Well, for starters, the AC denotes that the adapter runs over the commonplace 802.11AC protocol. At the same time, the number following it is the theoretical “maximum speed” that this device supports between all of its bands.
Range / Coverage
Let’s face it – having one of the fastest adapters in the world wouldn’t make any difference if it could only cast over a meter or two. Thankfully, most of the candidates that we’ve reviewed today actually offer absolutely amazing ranges. With some even going as far as to act like extenders, helping amplify the signal for other devices on the network.
MU-MIMO & Beamforming
MU-MIMO(otherwise known as multiple user, multiple input, multiple output) is a wireless technology that helps improve the performance of a network where several devices are actively using data simultaneously. In a nutshell, it allows you to stream things to several different computers, phones, or other network-enabled devices all at once, without having to slow down the exchange of data to make room for each one individually.
On the other hand, built overtop of MU-MIMO Beamforming technology allows us to focus the wireless signal by creating a beam of direct energy between connected devices rather than pumping out wave after wave of an unfocused signal which is just a waste of resources.
In addition to this, some newer adapters also offer something called implicit beamforming. This builds on the principles of the revolutionary new approach to connectivity and helps back-track it to devices that don’t have the technology accessible to them, allowing them to enjoy the same benefits as if they did.
How Did We Test These Wi-Fi Adapters?
We hooked up each of the Wi-Fi adapters in this article to a desktop computer running NetPerf software in order to track the throughput and performance of each candidate across three distances.
The three distances we measured were:
- Nearby (3 meters) – in visible sight of the router.
- Mid-Range (9 meters) – separated from the router by a floor and/or several walls.
- Fringe (20 meters) – across the entire house from the router, with multiple stories or walls of separation.
The router used for the tests that we ran with the setup was an UniFi Dream Machine.
Gaming WiFi Adapter F.A.Q.
Whether you’re just looking for a plug and play wireless adapter or a full-fledged one-stop networking solution, the world of WiFi adapters has got lots of ins and outs that can make deciding between any particular model and its counterpart a significant challenge.
Here are some of the most frequently asked questions that we get from readers on the topic of WiFi adapters, how they impact gaming, and what sort of features you should be on the lookout for.
Are WiFi Dongles Good For Gaming?
While some people might be worried about USB Wi-Fi adapters impacting their online gaming experience negatively – that’s all totally baseless. Wireless adapters that run over USB connectivity rather than a hardware hookup like a PCI-E don’t necessarily prove to be any sort of a bottleneck.
In fact, in most situations, they’ll offer the same tech like MU-MIMO, and high power connectivity over the latest protocols like AC1900 or AC3100 to offer serious speeds on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
However, having them run over the latest USB port technology is also pretty important. For example, you’ll get way better speeds over USB 3.0 rather than USB 2.0, which ultimately translates to a more high-quality experience – especially on operating systems like Windows 8 and Windows 10.
Does It Matter What WiFi Adapter I Get?
When it comes to picking out the best wireless adapter for your gaming PC, there’s definitely a world of difference between the typical single band USB WiFi adapter that you can pick up for $5 and a proper purpose-built unit such as the ones we’ve covered today.
Take a quick peek at our roundup of the most important features that make or break a good wireless adapter in the features section above.
As a short recap – you’ll want to pick up an adapter that offers a form factor compatible with your PC and operating system, while also boasting good speeds over a higher AC-rating and good coverage with MU-MIMO and beamforming support. Personally, I recommend that you look at AC1900+ options for the best performance, but it depends entirely on the speeds your network offers in the first place. For some folks, an AC1200 unit may just be enough.
What Is A Good Speed For A WiFi Adapter?
When it comes to figuring out a good range of speeds that your Wi-Fi adapter should be able to support, everything starts with your network and routing setup. After all, if you’re only getting 25 Mbps from your ISP (internet service provider), then it may be overkill to cash out on an AC3100 adapter as you’re not even scratching at the surface of its capabilities.
Realistically, for most modern games, anything over 50 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload will do the job quite well, given that it’s a seamless and uninterrupted connection.
Now that stability is where your routing comes into play. Issues like packet loss, a jumpy connection, or poor signal can absolutely ruin your entire gaming experience in a heartbeat.
Does The Motherboard Matter?
When it comes to making sure your brand new Wi-Fi adapter offers blazing speeds and impeccable dual-band wireless performance – unfortunately sometimes, the bottleneck comes from your motherboard n the first place.
Now, if you’re looking for a gaming Wi-Fi adapter, I’m assuming that you’ve opted for one of the best gaming motherboards already. In this case, more likely than not, your motherboard is already set and ready for high-speed connectivity.
However, if you’re playing on some older equipment, some due diligence may be needed to ensure the compatibility between your gear and the Wi-Fi adapter you’re thinking of buying.
Which Wi-Fi Adapter Should You Get For Gaming – Our Recommendation
Now that we’ve covered the ins and outs of each of our top 5 candidates, discussed the makings of a good Wi-Fi adapter, and covered some of the biggest questions people have about these handy little pieces of hardware – let’s get back to the main question at hand.
Which of these gaming-oriented Wi-Fi adapters is going to be the one for you?
At the end of the day, the answer to this question really depends entirely on your setup and needs. However, my personal recommendation is going to be ASUS PCE-AC88, since it delivers the best connectivity, the latest tech, and ultimately the best bang for your buck compared to all the other options.
I hope that you’ve found this guide useful in helping you decided on which adapter you’re after. And if you have any questions or information to add to this article, feel free to leave a comment below.

AMAZON’S POSSIBLE NEW YORK EXIT IS A VEILED THREAT
Amazon Wants to Shut Down Scrutiny on HQ2 Deal
Robert B. Engel, chief spokesperson for the Free & Fair Markets Initiative (FFMI), released the following statement in response to a Washington Post report that Amazon is reconsidering its plans to locate a new headquarters in Long Island City, Queens.
“Amazon letting slip that they might pull the ripcord on an HQ2 campus in New York is a veiled threat to the growing numbers of residents who are rightfully demanding more scrutiny on this terrible deal. Amazon is essentially saying, ‘Back off, or we’ll leave.’”
But New York taxpayers have every reason to be asking the tough questions about $3 billion in subsidies going to one of the richest companies in the world. And residents are right to be outraged that Amazon is attempting to dodge the standard land use review process that every other company goes through.
If Amazon intends to stonewall, then New Yorkers should say ‘good riddance.’”

Introduction to Android Viruses
Android viruses are malicious software that can infect Android devices and compromise their security. These viruses can come in many forms, including trojan horses, spyware, and ransomware. Once a virus has infected an Android device, it can steal sensitive information, corrupt files, and even render the device unusable. Android viruses can spread through various means, including email attachments, text messages, and app downloads from untrusted sources.
They can also exploit vulnerabilities in the Android operating system or other apps. It’s important to be aware of the risks posed by Android viruses and take steps to protect your device, such as downloading apps only from trusted sources, keeping your operating system and apps up to date, and using antivirus software.
Signs that Your Android Phone Has a Virus
There are several signs that may indicate that your Android phone has a virus. The following are some of the most common signs:
- Unusual behavior: If your phone is behaving in an unusual way, such as crashing frequently or running slowly, this could be a sign of a virus.
- Pop-up ads: If you’re seeing an unusually high number of pop-up ads on your phone, this could be a sign of adware, which is often bundled with viruses.
- Battery draining quickly: If your phone’s battery is draining quickly, this could be a sign of a virus running in the background and using up resources.
- Data usage increase: If you notice a sudden spike in data usage, this could be a sign that a virus is using your phone to send or receive data.
- Unexplained charges: If you see unexplained charges on your phone bill, this could be a sign that a virus has taken control of your phone and is using it to make premium rate calls or send premium rate texts.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to take action to remove the virus from your phone as soon as possible.
How to Check for Viruses on Your Android Phone
As smartphones become more integrated into our daily lives, protecting them from viruses and malware is becoming increasingly important. Checking your Android phone for viruses is a crucial step to ensure the safety and security of your device.
One way to check for viruses is to use a reputable antivirus app from a trusted source, such as Norton or McAfee. These apps will scan your phone for any suspicious files and can help you remove any potential threats.
Another way to check for viruses is to review your phone’s app list and permissions. If you notice any unfamiliar apps or apps with suspicious permissions, such as access to your contacts or camera, they may be potential sources of viruses.
In addition, keeping your phone’s software and apps up-to-date can help prevent viruses from infecting your device. Many software updates include security patches that address vulnerabilities that viruses can exploit.
Regularly backing up your phone’s data can also help protect against viruses, as you can restore your phone to a virus-free state if necessary.
Overall, being proactive about virus protection is key to keeping your Android phone secure.
Removing Viruses from Your Android Phone
Removing viruses from an Android phone requires a multi-step process. First, it’s important to identify the virus and its source. This can be done by using antivirus software to scan the phone or by looking for any suspicious apps or files. Once the virus has been identified, the next step is to remove it. This can be done by uninstalling any suspicious apps, deleting any infected files, and clearing the cache and data of affected apps. It’s also important to update the phone’s software and all installed apps to prevent future infections. If the virus is particularly stubborn or malicious, it may be necessary to perform a factory reset, which will erase all data from the phone and restore it to its original settings. It’s important to back up any important data before performing a factory reset.
Running a Malware Scan on Your Android Phone
Running a malware scan on your Android phone is a crucial step to protect your device from viruses and other types of malware. Malware scans help to detect and remove any suspicious files or apps that may have been installed without your knowledge.
To run a malware scan on your Android phone, you can use a reliable antivirus app that is available on the Google Play Store. There are many free and paid antivirus apps to choose from, such as Avast, Norton, and McAfee.
Once you have downloaded and installed the antivirus app, open it and initiate a full scan of your device. This may take some time depending on the size of your phone’s storage and the number of files stored on it. Once the scan is complete, the app will display a report indicating any malicious files or apps that were detected. You can then remove these files or apps to eliminate the malware from your device. It’s recommended to run regular malware scans on your Android phone to keep it safe and secure.
Uninstalling Suspicious Apps
Uninstalling suspicious apps is one of the key steps to take when dealing with potential virus or malware infections on your Android phone. These apps may have been downloaded from untrusted sources, or may have requested permissions that they do not need to function properly.
To uninstall an app on an Android phone, go to the “Settings” app and find the “Apps” or “Application Manager” option. From there, select the suspicious app and tap “Uninstall.” Be sure to read any warnings that may appear during the uninstallation process, as some apps may request additional permissions or try to prevent their removal.
It’s also a good idea to regularly review the list of apps installed on your phone and remove any that you no longer use or recognize. This can help prevent future infections and keep your phone running smoothly.
Clearing Your Android Phone’s Cache and Data
Clearing your Android phone’s cache and data can be an effective way to remove viruses and improve your phone’s performance. Cache and data are temporary files that are created when you use apps and browse the web. While these files can help improve app performance and browsing speed, they can also accumulate over time and slow down your phone.
To clear your phone’s cache and data, go to your phone’s Settings and find the “Storage” or “Storage and Memory” option. From there, select “Cached data” or “Other apps” to view all the apps on your phone. You can then select individual apps or select “Clear all” to remove all the cache and data files from your phone.
It’s important to note that clearing your cache and data will remove temporary files, such as login information and app preferences. This means you may need to re-enter passwords and reset app preferences after clearing your phone’s cache and data. However, it can also help remove any viruses or malware that may be hiding in your phone’s temporary files.
Protecting Your Android Phone from Future Viruses
Android phones are vulnerable to various types of malware, such as viruses, spyware, and adware. To protect your phone from future viruses, you can take several precautions:
- Install antivirus software: There are many antivirus apps available for Android phones that can detect and remove malware. Make sure to download one from a reputable source.
- Update your operating system: Keep your Android operating system updated with the latest security patches and bug fixes. This can help prevent vulnerabilities that could be exploited by hackers.
- Only download from trusted sources: Avoid downloading apps from unknown sources. Stick to the Google Play Store and other reputable app stores to minimize the risk of downloading a virus.
- Be cautious of links and attachments: Don’t click on links or download attachments from unknown sources, even if they appear to be from a trusted source. These could contain malware that can infect your phone.
- Use a strong password: Protect your phone with a strong password, PIN, or biometric security feature like fingerprint or face recognition. This can help prevent unauthorized access to your device.
By taking these precautions, you can minimize the risk of your Android phone being infected by viruses and other malware. | <urn:uuid:d93d3297-6b6f-4afa-bf24-c957ca84dbed> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://freevpnplanet.com/blog/how-to-remove-viruses-from-an-android-phone/ | 2023-09-27T12:05:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.91494 | 1,732 |

Michigan gambling sites may offer a full range of casino games, including slots, table games, and online poker.

Pennsylvania’s casinos were at first reluctant to apply for sports betting licenses, but eventually, they applied to offer sports in addition to online casino games and poker. Pennsylvania passed comprehensive gambling legislation in 2017, opening the door for online sports betting, casino gaming, poker, and lottery.

Crypto Twitter has gone after Nic Carter, a prominent advocate of Bitcoin (BTC), for his involvement in Dynamic, a third-party wallet authentication project that could potentially prevent wallet transactions to be performed if a wallet is categorized as risky.
In a tweet, Carter shared his excitement in backing the project, tweeting Dynamic’s announcement about a recently completed $7.5 million raise led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z). Following this, users flocked to Carter’s Twitter, expressing their disappointment because of the move.
Twitter user Lifetheuniverce argued that what Dynamic is creating is the “antitheses of what Bitcoin was created for.” The Twitter user said that the community needs fewer permissions and less monitoring. According to Lifetheuniverce, they should be allowed to transact without any potential “veto” from a third party.
Samson Mow, the CEO of JAN3, a firm that supports Bitcoin adoption, criticized Carter by saying that the move is “not something to be proud of.” In addition to this, Twitter user Benthecarman also mocked Carter for supporting what they alleged to be “surveillance software.”
Despite the criticisms, Carter stood his ground, responding to the allegations on Twitter. He also called his critics irrelevant and asked those who disagree with his investments to simply unfollow him on the social platform. “If you have any issues with what I or my firm invests in, please go ahead and unfollow,” he tweeted.

Earlier in June, lending platform Solend approved a whale wallet takeover plan to avoid the liquidation of a Solana (SOL) whale that could trigger decentralized finance (DeFi) implosion. However, due to backlash from community members, the project decided to create a second vote to invalidate the initial proposal.
Instead of forcibly taking over the whale’s wallet, the Solend team has decided to coordinate with the whale to find solutions like transferring some of the debt to another DeFi platform called Mango Markets. | <urn:uuid:446cacf3-b7cf-4d78-b07c-e76603ca7144> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://fuerzacrypto.com/bitcoin-advocate-criticized-for-backing-wallet-authentication-project/ | 2023-09-27T12:36:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.960482 | 442 |

Why Do Cops Use Red Interior Lights?
Law enforcement agencies around the world rely on various tools and equipment to effectively carry out their duties. One such tool that is commonly used by police officers is the red interior light found in their patrol vehicles. These lights serve multiple purposes, each designed to enhance officer safety and increase visibility while on duty. In this article, we will delve into the reasons why cops use red interior lights and explore their significance in law enforcement operations.
Improved Night Vision
One of the primary reasons why cops use red interior lights is to enhance their night vision. Traditional white lights tend to be harsh and can negatively impact an officer’s ability to see clearly in low-light conditions. The red light, on the other hand, is softer and less disruptive to the eyes. It allows officers to maintain better night vision while still illuminating their surroundings sufficiently.
Preserving Night Adaptation
The human eye has a remarkable ability to adapt to low-light conditions. When exposed to darkness for an extended period, the eyes adjust, becoming more sensitive to light. This process, known as night adaptation, enables officers to see better in the dark. By using red interior lights, law enforcement agencies aim to preserve their officers’ night adaptation. Unlike white lights that can temporarily blind officers and hinder their ability to adjust to low-light conditions, red lights minimize disruption and help maintain their night vision capabilities.
Reducing Visibility to Perpetrators
In certain situations, police officers may need to maintain a low profile. When dealing with potentially dangerous individuals or during covert operations, red interior lights are utilized to minimize visibility to perpetrators. Red lights are less likely to attract attention or alert suspects, allowing officers to observe and gather crucial information without compromising their safety. By using these lights discreetly, law enforcement personnel can maintain a tactical advantage, ensuring the element of surprise when necessary.
Enhancing Officer Safety
The safety of police officers is paramount, and red interior lights play a crucial role in ensuring their well-being. When conducting traffic stops or responding to emergencies, officers need to be visible to other drivers on the road. Red lights help draw attention to the presence of law enforcement vehicles, alerting motorists to their presence and encouraging them to slow down or move aside. This increased visibility reduces the risk of accidents and enhances officer safety during high-stress situations.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
Q: Can red interior lights be seen from outside the vehicle?
A: Red interior lights are designed to have minimal visibility from outside the vehicle. They are primarily used to enhance officer vision without drawing unnecessary attention to the patrol car.
Q: Are red interior lights exclusive to police vehicles?
A: While red interior lights are commonly associated with police vehicles, they are also used in other emergency response vehicles, such as fire trucks and ambulances. The purpose remains the same: to improve visibility and ensure the safety of personnel.
Q: Are red interior lights used at all times?
A: Red interior lights are typically used in specific situations, such as during nighttime operations, traffic stops, or when officers need to maintain a low profile. They are not constantly activated, as their purpose is to enhance officer safety and adaptability to different scenarios.
Q: Do red interior lights affect the officer’s ability to communicate?
A: No, red interior lights do not hinder communication between officers. They are designed to provide sufficient illumination while minimizing disruption to night vision, allowing officers to effectively communicate with colleagues and members of the public.
In conclusion, the use of red interior lights by law enforcement agencies serves multiple purposes. They improve night vision, preserve night adaptation, reduce visibility to perpetrators, and enhance officer safety. These lights are an integral part of police vehicles, ensuring that officers can perform their duties effectively and safely, even in challenging circumstances. | <urn:uuid:5df40609-b5ba-4108-98e9-3ab6104de729> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://fwjustice.org/why-do-cops-use-red-interior-lights/ | 2023-09-27T12:19:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.94515 | 781 |

Google announced on the 25th May that they have released their core update for Google Search, with it taking around 1-2 weeks to fully roll out. It’s a global update impacting all regions in all languages, and all types of content including Google Discover, featured snippets, and more. It has been six months since the last Google core update, which rolled out in November 2021.
Google’s Public Liaison for Search has noted that changes to site performance in search results are to be expected:
“Core updates are changes we make to improve Search overall and keep pace with the changing nature of the web. While nothing in a core update is specific to any particular site, these updates may produce some noticeable changes to how sites perform…”
We discuss why this is important and what you need to do if you have been affected to recover.
What is a Google Broad Core Update?
Broad core updates are significant changes to Google’s algorithm to improve search overall and keep up-to-date with the changing nature of the web. They’re designed to make the search results more relevant for users. Google usually makes changes on a daily basis, however, these aren’t usually noticeable but help them to continually improve their search results. However, they will explain when they have made specific changes, like when they updated their product review ranking earlier this year.
Google announces broad core updates several times a year, and the reason they confirm when they are released is because they usually produce widely significant changes. Some websites may notice gains or drops during them, however, if you’ve noticed a drop this doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with your pages.
Some marketers in the industry have already started noticing fluctuations in different niches, however, it’s still too early to truly understand the impact.
What Do I Need to Do?
Firstly, we would recommend keeping an eye on your performance over the next couple of days to see if you notice any significant changes. If it looks like you have experienced a drop due to the update, don’t make changes straight away as it could make things worse. It’s better to wait before making any changes.
Even though it’s recommended that you don’t try to ‘fix’ any of your pages that have been impacted, as pages that drop after a core update doesn’t have anything wrong to fix, Google recommends focusing on content and asking yourself the following questions which have been provided directly from Google:
Content and quality questions
- Does the content provide original information, reporting, research, or analysis?
- Does the content provide a substantial, complete, or comprehensive description of the topic?
- Does the content provide insightful analysis or interesting information that is beyond obvious?
- If the content draws on other sources, does it avoid simply copying or rewriting those sources and instead provide substantial additional value and originality?
- Does the headline and/or page title provide a descriptive, helpful summary of the content?
- Does the headline and/or page title avoid being exaggerating or shocking in nature?
- Is this the sort of page you’d want to bookmark, share with a friend, or recommend?
- Would you expect to see this content in or referenced by a printed magazine, encyclopaedia, or book?
- Does the content present information in a way that makes you want to trust it, such as clear sourcing, evidence of the expertise involved, background about the author or the site that publishes it, such as through links to an author page or a site’s About page?
- If you researched the site producing the content, would you come away with an impression that it is well-trusted or widely-recognised as an authority on its topic?
- Is this content written by an expert or enthusiast who demonstrably knows the topic well?
- Does the content have any easily verified factual errors?
- Would you feel comfortable trusting this content for issues relating to your money or your life?
Presentation and production questions
- Does the content have any spelling or stylistic issues?
- Was the content produced well, or does it appear sloppy or hastily produced?
- Is the content mass-produced by or outsourced to a large number of creators, or spread across a large network of sites, so that individual pages or sites don’t get as much attention or care?
- Does the content have an excessive amount of ads that distract from or interfere with the main content?
- Does content display well for mobile devices when viewed on them?
- Does the content provide substantial value when compared to other pages in search results?
- Does the content seem to be serving the genuine interests of visitors to the site or does it seem to exist solely by someone attempting to guess what might rank well in search engines?
At the moment we don’t know the exact impact this will have as it’s too early to start assessing this, however, we will be looking at the data and keep you updated with our findings. When we have more data, we will be able to understand the impact and advise further.

In extreme conditions, no other storage medium is as efficient as tape for backup. That’s the conclusion arrived at by Jeremy Robst, who is IT support engineer at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) for polar missions by the research ship RRS Sir David Attenborough.
“Research voyages generally last between six weeks and two months and generate around 100TB of data that we then bring together for processing in Cambridge,” says Robst. “There, we share the data between researchers in the community.
“We can copy instrument data onto removable disks and take them to the UK. But if we generate 100TB of data on a single voyage, that becomes impossible,” he adds. “But with tape, we can store very large volumes of data in a compact format then easily put the cartridges in baggage on the way back.”
The challenge: Store a lot in minimal space
The key challenge is that the research vessel is so well-equipped with scientific equipment that there is a constraint on available space. Operated by the National Environment Research Centre (NERC), the RRS Sir David Attenborough is designed especially for use in polar regions and has laboratories, cutting-edge instrumentation to study water, marine animals, the seabed and the atmosphere on board.
“We’re very concerned with minimising what we have on board,” says Robst. “Going to the places we go means having a replacement for everything. In these conditions, we can’t set off with backup solutions onboard that need a server because that would mean taking a replacement too.”
There lies the problem – most archive products that use tape need a dedicated server.
After studying the market for some time, the NERC IT team settled on the Quantum Scalar i3 tape library, which was the only one that would fit the constraints of the RRS Sir David Attenborough.
“This product allows us to put the library and server in one box that we just have to connect to the network,” says Robst.
In fact, the Scalar i3 deployment allows all data to be recovered from a single 10Gbps Ethernet connection via fibre.
Everything doubled up
The team decided to buy four Scalar i3 libraries. One is equipped as a Veeam backup target for scientific equipment readings, while a second is equipped with network-attached storage that holds a backup copy of data held on the first Scalar i3. Two are kept as replacements.
Jeremy Robst, British Antarctic Survey
These servers – iBlade Veeam Tape Server and iBlade LTFS – come in blade form and are inserted to the rear of the Scalar i3 library.
“The two Scalar i3 tape libraries are connected so that the server blade of one can use the tape drive of the other in case of an incident,” says Robst. “The vessel is a very costly platform and in daily use, so it is vital we take all possible measures to protect the data that researchers collect.”
Robst adds that the tape libraries allow for restoration of data during expeditions. That’s useful when, for example, researchers want to run data that is no longer on equipment hard drives, either for reasons of space or human error.
The Scalar i3 libraries are equipped with LTO-8 tape drives, which allow for up to 12TB raw per cartridge or 30TB compressed.
It’s early days for a review of the deployment, however. The Covid-19 pandemic delayed the departure of RRS Sir David Attenborough, so the recorded cartridges will not deliver their discoveries until 2021. | <urn:uuid:60756145-1c27-4c4e-9754-a768e678f031> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://gadgetpage.in/slot-of-the-antarctic-tape-the-best-option-for-polar-survey-backup/ | 2023-09-27T12:16:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.938576 | 772 |

“We’re tired of waiting,” defensive lineman Jonathan Allen said. “We love physical games like this. So we’re just excited and ready to get to the field.”
The talk surrounding the game seems to be everywhere lately.
Defensive lineman Jarran Reed said people keep asking if the team is ready for this or for that, and it’s come to a point where he just responds, “Okay.”
Reed said the weirdest place he’s been approached in the past two weeks leading up to the game was Publix.
“I wasn’t rude about it or anything, but I was just trying to get my groceries,” he said.
There’s been enough talking. Now they’re just ready to actually play the game. Maybe then, people will stop asking them about it – just maybe.
Another thing that’s for sure, Alabama defensive linemen are, to an extent, tired of hearing about LSU’s running back, Leonard Fournette.
Fournette leads LSU with 1,352 rushing yards on 176 carries for 15 touchdowns. With 228 yards against Auburn, 244 against Syracuse and 233 against Eastern Michigan, Fournette became the first player to rush for at least 200 yards in three back-to-back-to-back games in SEC history.
Allen said Fournette is an angry back, which is a running back who is aggressive and engages in contact instead of shying away from it, but that’s what Allen likes because it makes him angry and ready to get physical right back.
At this point, Alabama knows Fournette is a good player, but to a certain extent, it’s tired of hearing about him.
“We respect everybody and everybody’s game,” Reed said.
The defensive line is ready for what LSU’s offense has to offer and is eager to play. Fournette has run over other teams, but he hasn’t faced Alabama yet this season.
“We don’t get hit. We hit them,” Allen said. “I mean, that’s how it is. We don’t take hits. We give hits.”
Lately, Alabama’s secondary has gotten more attention. It’s tied for No. 1 with Ole Miss in the SEC with 12 interceptions, but that shift in focus doesn’t bother the defensive line.
Allen doesn’t need outside validation to know the defensive is talented. On Saturday, when two top four teams meet, the guys up front can prove prove just how good they are on a national stage.
“If you’re not excited for this game, you shouldn’t be here,” Allen said.
