An ovular clock with a mixture of crème and dark crème themes and a thin glossy frame and contour. An example of premium make and
contemporary accuracy. One of the very few clocks with thin frames giving it a compact and stylish look. This clock would be an ideal
match for homes with ambient lighting or golden lighting as the glossiness and looks of the clock would certify with this type of
surrounding. This clock, nevertheless would merge also with commercial environments and private rooms or office premises. A very
dignified type of clock with its own standards of looks. | <urn:uuid:498e15e3-8e47-47c1-984c-7f7b794387f7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://orpatgroup.com/product/wall-clock-classic-musical-pendulum-quartz-wall-clock-pendulum-clock-with-decorative-daimonds-3927-blue/ | 2023-09-27T12:09:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.946393 | 125 |
And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, and was transfigured before them: and His face did shine as the sun, and His raiment was white as the light (Mt. 17:1-2).
In the life of the Lord there were many wonderful deeds, significant events and extraordinary manifestations of His Divinity, but none was as striking as His Holy Transfiguration. The Savior was praying on the top of the mountain (Mount Tabor) in the darkness of the night. While His three weary disciples were immersed in deep sleep, the Lord took upon Himself—or, rather, revealed in Himself—the light of the sun. His shining garments became as white as the light, and the two greatest prophets of the Old Testament—Elias and Moses— appeared before Him in reverence. The night became bright and the entire mountain was in an unearthly, wondrous light. Awakened, His disciples marveled, admired and tremblingly contemplated all this unprecedented spectacle.
For whom and for what purpose was this glorious vision? Certainly not for people, because the people standing far below were not witnesses to this miracle. And not for the disciples either, because they only had a few minutes to enjoy the vision. Therefore, the Transfiguration was for the Lord Himself. Let’s consider this carefully. The end of His earthly life was already approaching, and more than once in His humanity He looked back at everything He had done and wondered about what He had achieved. What did the Lord see? Three years of His tireless service to the human race were behind Him: preaching, miracles of healing and calls to people. And what was their response? Unbelief, from some slander, from others indifference, and the ostensible and fickle affection of the crowd. And an even darker future awaited Him. Very soon the insidious powers that be, filled with malice, would rise against Him and keep watching Him closely; then there would be the betrayal by one of His disciples, the biased, unjust trial, suffering and torment, and a shameful death on the Cross.
With His Divine eyes He clearly foresaw everything that awaited Him, and as a Man He could not help but feel the difficulty of His situation and exhaustion from overexertion; His soul was troubled and He needed support from above to complete His great mission—the salvation of the human race, which is sinful, unfaithful and ungrateful. The Gospel openly reveals to us this state of the Lord's soul before the hour of His Passion: My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death (Mt. 26:38), He said to His disciples. Those of us, dear friends, who have ever experienced real sorrows will understand these words. They will feel that these words proceed from the great agony of one’s entire being. They will at least partially understand Just what kind of soul, which has suffered greatly, does not expect anything from life, and has lost faith in the future, is crying out. And He fell on His face deep in prayer before His Heavenly Father, imploring Him: O My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me (Mt. 26:39)!
How clear all the events of the Transfiguration of the Lord are now! He has climbed a high mountain. There below, at its foot, He has left the whole world (for which He came with holy goodness, and so willingly took upon Himself the great task from His Heavenly Father), which responded to Him with such unbelief; now people unthinkingly pay Him royal honors, now shout scornfully: “Crucify, crucify Him!”. He has been transfigured; this is no longer the meek, humble and grieving Jesus, as He seemed to be a minute ago. His appearance is now Divine; He is emanating the light of the sun; His face and garments, and indeed the whole area have been illuminated by Divine glory. We believe that at this moment He can see all the future glory of the Kingdom of God on earth. Looking beyond the terrible events of the final day of His earthly life, He is contemplating the holy faith spreading all over the globe, His disciples enlightening the world (recently so unfaithful), the saints of God performing great deeds of the Lord, and the whole earth, illuminated like a mountain with the light of truth, righteousness and great moral transformation. And at this solemn moment a voice can be heard from Heaven, calling Him the beloved Son and commanding the earth to obey Him. Oh, now the Lord will again move to His ministry and complete it. Let them lift Him up on the Cross—He has already seen the Heavenly Father, He is waiting for the glory that He had had before the world was created, and He is destined for victory over the world and triumph in Heaven. Such is the meaning of today's celebration in honor of the Transfiguration of the Lord.
And there are many edifying lessons for us, friends, in this wondrous event. The Lord has ascended a high mountain. Don’t we also learn from time to time to withdraw from the vanity of life and ascend the mountain of solitude, contemplation and prayer? Earthly life contains so many dark deeds, so much strife between brothers, so much evil, falsehood and perfidy. Oh, let’s hasten to the mountain—to solitude; let’s lift up our eyes to Heaven; let’s make all these passions, vanities and untruths fall silent; let’s forget this world, immersing ourselves in silent inner prayer. The Lord has been transfigured. This means that peace, hope and enlightenment have begun to reign in His soul; and this regeneration of the soul was reflected in His face, on His garments, and on the whole mountain. This, my friends, is what makes a person strong is his soul—when it is awakened, enlightened and filled with grace! Look at a righteous or simply kind-hearted person—his pious, simple and sincere soul shines in everything he does; he is not afflicted by sorrows; he is animated by joy; he is encouraged by hope; he believes in a glorious future.
But why did these two great prophets, Elias and Moses, join Christ and converse with Him? They are two representatives of the future glorious Kingdom of God on earth. Moses guided the Israelites to the Promised Land; Elias, who exposed falsehood, wickedness, and enmity, was taken to Heaven on a fiery chariot. There will always be preachers of goodness and light in the world; the best people will always shine as examples for the edification of the world. There will always be guides to a better world—to a blissful life in Heaven. There is no need to be troubled: better times will come; the earth will be illuminated by the light of righteousness and truth; our world, now gloomy and weak, will be transfigured and transformed into the glorious Kingdom of God.
Let’s pray on this day of the Transfiguration of the Lord together with the Church: “Let Thy everlasting light also shine upon us sinners… O Giver of light!” Amen.

As a child, Monkey D. Luffy dreamed of becoming King of the Pirates. But his life changed when he accidentally gained the power to stretch like rubber...at the cost of never being able to swim again! Years later, Luffy sets off in search of the One Piece said to be the greatest treasure in the world...
When you discuss One Piece, people like to fact-drop that it has been running since 1999, is watched and beloved by millions of Japanese people, has sold bajillions of copies of the manga and of course, that, in the words of Bill Nighy, abomination that shall not be named...
Does any of this have anything to do with One Piece?
Nope, not really.
The story is pretty simple: Gold Roger, the King Of The Pirates, upon his execution decrees that anyone can find the loot he amassed, it's all in One Piece. OK, skip forward a few years and the young rapscallion, Monkey D. Luffy, decides it's the pirate life for him and joins up with "Red Haired" Shanks and his crew. After eating the Gum-Gum Devil Fruit, he gains the ability to stretch his body to fantastic lengths. The downside is that he cannot go near water as he will drown. Setting out on his own, he gathers his own pirate crew including Navigator Nami, legendary swordsman Zolo, wise-cracking cook Sanji and the cowardly inventor Usopp with the intention to becoming the next King of the Pirates. Together they set sail for the Grand Line, the vast ocean that makes up the bulk of the world of One Piece and seek their fortune.
I have, on occasion, stated my personal tastes in regards to Shonen fighting shows and manga. I am not a big fan of them. I like Hokuto no Ken (AKA Fist of The North Star) as I saw some of the old Manga UK dubs of it back in the day. But I can't get into Dragonball and can't into Bleach (trust me, three DVD's of it are currently defeating me into not reviewing them) so when I learned of One Piece, I was of a mind to dismiss it as well. Add to that, the fact that my tastes, as I've gotten older, have started to veer into a more mature and analytical (at least, I hope they are) phase. Things like the Translucent Girl by Dark Horse or Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service take my fancy. Childish things like One Piece do not. Or, they didn't until recently. For you see, One Piece has changed these ideas I had, somewhat.
Following a recommendation to read volumes 8-11, which comprise the teaser, main and wrap-up for the Arlong Park story-arc, I had to wait some time for these volumes to come in my local bookshop, as the local library didn't stock much Shonen Jump titles, much less One Piece. But eventually, I did receive the volumes requested. I have to say that unlike most titles I dive into mid-way I didn't feel left out all that much and for a shonen fighting manga, that's a welcome thing.
First up, One Piece features some of the most frantic action set pieces I've ever read. People fly on wire-fu, stuff explodes and the action flows mercilessly against an open vista of the sea. Luffy is by far the reason to watch people fight in this story. The way Oda draws Luffy, it almost seems like he's flying. Sanji and Zolo have their moments but at the heart of it their physicality is grounded in the real world so they don't jump from four floors and hit the ground running. As per the rules of Shonen fighting stories, the villains are literally, huge. If Don Krieg was a real person, he'd be fourteen feet high. And be ten feet wide. You see my point? The real world never factors in for One Piece. There doesn't seem to be a blood bank anywhere around so God only knows how they replace the amount of blood each of them loses in the fights they get into. They even make it a point with Zolo fighting the Fishmen of Arlong Park that his friends didn't know if he could continue fighting with all the blood he'd lost recently! Oda is be commended that all this happens and never once do I feel that any of the characters, big or small, feel out of place. Having Nami stand next to Captain Arlong means you see how small she is next to him but we're not talking ant-size.
Character is a big thing in One Piece. Luffy has this cheerful, devil-may-care attitude to life that I like. Never does he see the bad in people he considers his friends. Only the people who oppose him in his quest to be King of the Pirates feel his sharp tongue and even sharper fists and feet. He seems to be the eternal optimist in all of his dealings with the world. If his friend is having trouble, he is there right alongside. If a nefarious creature threatens to derail Luffy's plans, then it's time to bring out the big guns. It's all or nothing with him. Sanji is a loner who cooks like a pro, fights like a sailor (no pun intended) and smokes like a trooper. In short, he is the scoundrel. Also he's in love with Nami. Completely. Utterly. Moving on, Zolo I'm not so sure about. I've not read enough of him in the volumes covered other than he's a Wolverine-I'm-the-best-at-what-I-can-do sort of bloke. Nami is excellent and I really like her character over everyone except Luffy. She has her reasons for joining Luffy in his insane plans. You find out some of them in this arc but not all of them. She really is a sweetie at heart but she knows how to keep the lads in line. If we were to apply a Star Wars veneer to the proceedings, then Luffy is Luke, Zolo and Sanji are Obi-Wan and Han and Nami is Princess Leia. Usopp is not Chewie. Because Chewie ain't no coward.
The villains are the usual fare of insanely muscled behemoths with ideas about ruling the seas, world, blah, blah, blah. If I sound dismissive, please believe me, I'm not. It's just this kind of character development is a stock rather than cliché of shonen fighting tales and frankly, I for one, would be put out if the villains weren't set up like this. Don Krieg, as I've stated before, is a man mountain. That neck, it's just friggin' huge. Also the villains are villains in every sense of the word. Arlong is a fishman who honours the promises he gives but only to the letter of them not the spirit in which they were given. He, figuratively, screws Nami over and does it with a smile.
One aspect of the story is a vibe of people dying all the time but only for the right reasons for themselves. Pirates go to the gallows without a whimper, parents die to protect their children. Luffy standing his ground against foes who have blooded him. The main theme I pick up from, at least with these volumes, is stand your ground. Even when all around you have given up. You standing up will inspire people. It's a nice theme. I'm glad that there are artists and writers who still have this kind of ability in them.
All in all, One Piece is a good, strong title. Worthy of being in your MAL manga lists. Strong writing, a wealth of material to sample and devour, great artwork. Another good series from VIZ. Word of warning for parents: contains some smoking, violence and blood.
Will I go on with the series? At present I'm unable to, given my country's finances. So when things do pick, I will keep up as best I can. For now, I'm happy with my 4 volumes and if I need an immediate fix, there's always the animated series from Funimation. | <urn:uuid:872c5c84-baea-4610-ba63-350095656c57> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://otakunews.com/us/Manga/279/one-piece | 2023-09-27T12:21:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.974281 | 1,767 |

It is now of paramount importance that our elected officials quickly negotiate a permanent end to the shutdown, learn the lessons from this devastating impasse and take steps to prevent this from happening again in the future. It is also critical for agency leaders to re-engage their employees, seek to boost morale and help them set priorities to tackle the huge backlog of work. There has been much harm done by our political leaders and it could take months or even years to undo the damage caused by this shutdown.” The 35-day shutdown comes on the heels of the Partnership and Boston Consulting Group’s release of 2018 Best Places to Work in the Federal Government rankings, which found that employee engagement went down at a majority of federal departments, agencies and subcomponents. The only comprehensive and real-time performance information available on our federal government, the rankings serve as a report card on the Trump administration’s handling of the federal workforce. To view this year’s rankings visit bestplacestowork.org. During the past 17 years, the nonpartisan, nonprofit Partnership for Public Service has been dedicated to making the federal government more effective for the American people.

New insight on how a parasite can resist current therapies has been published in the open-access eLife journal.
The study in cultures of human cells infected with Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi), the parasite that causes Chagas disease, suggests that its metabolic state influences the effectiveness of azole drugs that inhibit its growth. These findings could be useful for the development of more effective antimicrobial treatments.
Chagas disease, also known as American trypanosomiasis, can cause a sudden, brief (acute) illness, or it may be a long-lasting (chronic) condition. Around six to seven million people worldwide are estimated to be infected with the T. cruzi pathogen that causes the disease, according to the World Health Organization. Symptoms can range from mild to severe, but do not often appear until the chronic stage of disease.
“The goal for the treatment of Chagas and other infectious diseases is to eliminate the pathogen from the infected host,” explains first author Peter Dumoulin, Postdoctoral Fellow at senior author Barbara Burleigh’s lab, Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health, Boston, US. “There are a few ways in which pathogens can survive antimicrobial treatment. One of the less explored options is the impact of their metabolic and environmental diversity (or heterogeneity) on the effectiveness of a given treatment, and we wanted to find out if these factors play a role in T. cruzi‘s drug resistance.”
There is an intracellular stage in the T. cruzi life-cycle where they become amastigotes – replicative forms of the parasite that persist in the infected host. The team’s work revealed that the sensitivity of amastigotes to azole drugs increases significantly in the presence of certain concentrations of the amino acid glutamine, independent of the parasite’s growth rate.
Further metabolic labelling and inhibitor studies showed that T. cruzi‘s glutamine metabolism leads to the enhanced production of steroid alcohols (sterols), along with an accompanying accumulation of non-standard sterols and toxicity to the parasite in the presence of azoles. These findings suggest that metabolic heterogeneity in the parasite-host interaction may contribute to the failure of some drugs to achieve sterile cure, demonstrating a novel link between metabolism and drug efficacy.
“Our work provides further evidence that the metabolic state of a microorganism is important for determining its susceptibility to antimicrobials, and lays the groundwork for further studies,” concludes Burleigh, Professor of Immunology and Infectious Diseases at Harvard Chan School. “Gaining a better understanding of metabolism in T. cruzi and other parasites, and why current drug candidates can fail to treat infection, could lead to more effective therapies for Chagas disease and other infections.”

Living Life on the Edge: Embracing Adrenaline-Fueled Moments
Life is an adventure, a journey filled with countless opportunities for thrill and excitement. For some, the idea of living life on the edge, embracing adrenaline-fueled moments, is an exhilarating concept that fuels their passion for adventure. This article delves into the world of adrenaline-chasing, highlighting the benefits and experiences of such a lifestyle.
Kitesurfing: Riding the waves of excitement
The first step to living on the edge is stepping out of your comfort zone and trying something new. Kitesurfing, a water sport combining wakeboarding, windsurfing, and paragliding elements, is an excellent example of an adrenaline-fueled activity. The activity entails utilizing a sizable maneuverable kite to capture the force of the wind, enabling the rider to traverse the water on a board specifically designed for kiteboarding. There is nothing quite like the exhilaration of soaring through the air, feeling the breeze caress your cheeks, and mastering the art of maneuvering a kite. Kitesurfing is a remarkable adventure that captures the spirit of embracing excitement and pushing boundaries.
The psychological thrill
In addition to the excitement of the tangible experience, embracing a daring lifestyle offers a mental rush that is just as stimulating. Engaging in these activities provides an exhilarating experience that stimulates the production of endorphins, the body’s innate pain relievers. This results in a profound sense of joy and an overwhelming feeling of invulnerability. The thrill of this frenzy can become habit-forming, compelling thrill-seekers to pursue fresh and increasingly demanding adventures consistently.
The benefits of embracing the edge
Embracing a daring lifestyle goes beyond pursuing excitement; it presents many advantages. Participating in thrilling adventures can enhance physical well-being, as numerous pursuits demand robustness, stamina, and skill. Furthermore, they have the potential to enhance one’s emotional well-being by offering a means to alleviate tension and unease. Engaging in these activities demands concentration, which can effectively alleviate mental clutter, resulting in a serene state once the surge of excitement diminishes.
The balance of risk and reward
While living life on the edge can be exhilarating, it’s important to remember the balance of risk and reward. Adrenaline-fueled activities often involve a certain level of risk, and it’s essential to approach them with a healthy respect for safety. Proper training, equipment, and precautions can help mitigate these risks, allowing you to enjoy the thrill without unnecessary danger.
Always research your activities and location. This understanding can help you decide if the risk is acceptable and if you have the skills and equipment. Check and maintain your gear, and never sacrifice safety. Finally, embracing adventure with a responsible and safety-conscious mentality lets you enjoy high-risk activities without risking injury.
Living life on the edge embracing adrenaline-fueled moments, is a lifestyle choice that offers a unique blend of thrill, excitement, and personal growth. Whether kitesurfing across the waves, scaling a mountain, or skydiving from a plane, these activities provide an escape from the mundane, a chance to challenge oneself, and an opportunity to experience life at its most vibrant. So, step out of your comfort zone, embrace the adrenaline, and start living on the edge. After all, life is not meant to be lived in the slow lane; rather, it’s about experiencing every thrilling moment it offers.
Renewable Energy Farms That Make Beautiful Hiking Trails
Wind farms and solar panels are not just alternative means to get our natural resources. They have now combined with another industry and are making some unexpected news.
The tourism industry has marked renewable energy farms as hiking trails, and hikers are here for it. You can read more about renewable energy sites. Although you might not think of hiking on a wind farm as beautiful as hiking along a famous mountain trail, you might just be in for a surprise.
Let’s discuss the benefits that renewable energy farms have as hiking trails.
Why are Renewable Energy Farms Important?
Renewable energy farms are important for the future of civilization. These farms provide an alternative to our natural resources, such as wind and energy.
The most important benefit of renewable energy is that it doesn’t produce any greenhouse emissions and reduces the air pollution other traditional processes create when providing natural resources.
These farms also allow for the creation of the country’s own resources without having to import natural resources from another country and save their limited natural resources.

Top Recommendations for RV Window Maintenance
Much like other sections of your RV, the windows sometimes need a bit of maintenance. It is essential to clean off dirt and insect smudges and also make sure they are adequately sealed to avoid leaks and water harm.
If you have a broken RV window, then you may want to consult Van Isle Glass. However, if you wish to know more about simple measures to ensure your RV windows stay spotless and secure, you are in the right spot! Continue reading below.
Polish Your Windshield Using Ultra-Fine #0000 Steel Wool
Numerous RV enthusiasts have praised the use of the finest grade of steel wool #0000 for removing stubborn bugs and water marks from their windshields. Before proceeding, first test the #0000 steel wool on a small portion of your windshield. Apply it with light, circular motions. Sweep away any remaining steel wool bits with a microfiber towel. Next, spritz the surface with a residue-free glass cleaner and wipe it down with a separate cloth.
Steel wool is also great when used with a spray lubricant for cleaning tires, maintaining grills, starting campfires, and repelling mice. A gentler alternative is cleansing dish pads. These pads are versatile, suitable for cleaning various materials such as wood, porcelain, stainless steel, chrome, painted areas, and glass.
Apply a Sealant to Avoid Leaks
Silicone sealant is effective in stopping leaks in areas like your windshield, RV windows, sunroof, and vents. It penetrates tiny gaps, creating a robust waterproof barrier. Ensure the surfaces are clean before application and do not have old caulk, dirt, oil, and other residues.
Furthermore, clear away any standing water on windows to prevent hard water stains. Make sure the inside of your windows stay dry to avoid condensation and mold build-up. If there is significant condensation on your windows, consider getting a small dehumidifier.
Use Tools to Access Difficult Regions
Using cleaners with long handles can prevent you from straining to clean those distant parts of your windshield. Windshield cleaning tools often feature a lengthy, swiveling triangular head that is ideal for getting into corners and spots difficult to access manually.
Opt for a Residue-Free Glass Cleaner
A high-quality glass cleaner will maintain the clarity of your windows and windshield. A great glass cleaner performs well on both standard and tinted windows, making sure to remove streaks or leftover residue. Another option is a natural concoction of half vinegar and half water, with a touch of lemon essential oil.
Steer Clear of Cleaning RV Windows in Bright Sunlight
A sunny afternoon may feel perfect for washing your RV windows, but the warmth can speed up the drying of the cleaner, resulting in streaks or spots. It is advisable to tackle your RV window cleaning during early morning, late evening, or when stationed in a shaded area for the best outcome.
Keeping your RV windows clean and clear is not only about aesthetics, but is also vital for safety. The subtleties in cleaning, like steering clear of the sun and using the appropriate products, play a key role. Adhering to these guidelines will help you maintain a pristine view during your various journeys.

5 Important Parts of a Hunting Arrow
Any hunter can purchase an arrow but not many know what to look out for. An arrow’s anatomy has many variations that affect their effectiveness. This article comprehensively explains the parts of a hunting arrow and the role of each part in hunting.
Parts of Hunting Arrow
1. Arrowhead /Tip
This is the foremost end of the arrow which is what penetrates through a target- game in this case. Some arrowheads are fixed to the arrow while others are removable. This allows the hunter to change between the different arrowhead types.
The first type of arrowhead is the broadheads that have three to four hunting blades and this makes them suitable for taking down larger game.
Some broadheads may be glued to the shaft and are known to be easily susceptible to drag and wind interference. Their accuracy may therefore be affected by the same.
On the other hand, some are removable and they are made to spring open upon impact with the target. Their nature also allows for easy replacement and sharpening of the blades when blunt and thus less effective. This type of arrowhead is, however, fragile and may easily break.
The second type of arrowhead is the field points which are mainly used for practice purposes when one is shooting at a fixed target. Field points can be bought in weights similar to the broadheads to ensure one can practice effectively.
You can use this type of arrowhead to hunt small game but it will not be effective for larger game because the tips have a conical or bullethead shape.
The shaft is the mid and the longest part of the arrow. Various shaft factors affect the effectiveness of the arrow in hunting in diverse ways.
Arrow weight is measured in grains per inch (GPI). A light shaft is one with 5-6 GPI and it affects the speed of the arrow because it flies faster with a flatter trajectory. However, this shaft weight is not good in penetration hence is not suitable for the big game.
Midweight shafts weigh between 7 and 9 GPI. Known to be moderate in speed and penetration, this, therefore, makes them good for the medium-sized game and sometimes bigger game when the shafts are drawn correctly.
Heavy shafts are those above 10 GPI are great for large game hunting because the shafts have excellent penetration power. This is even though they fly slower due to their weight.
The spine is the of the arrow shaft’s flexibility/bend or its stiffness. This consequently affects the number of times the arrow oscillates when fired from a bow which in turn affects its accuracy.
The concept of the archer’s paradox comes into play during firing because an arrow flexes as it leaves the arrow rest and straightens out in flight. Too much or too little flex will affect the arrow’s accuracy. Manufacturers take care of this and match it well with the weight.
This is the distance between one side of the round part of the arrow shaft to the other side, through the center. Shaft diameter impacts the speed, therefore, the penetration of the arrow.
Smaller diameter shafts are more streamlined, faster in flight, and have greater penetration. Shafts with bigger diameter have lower penetration potential.
The thickness of the shaft is related to the diameter and it has an impact on the spine and the shaft’s weight. Thicker shafts have less spine and more weight.
3. Shaft Inserts
Shaft inserts are accessories made from light metal like brass or aluminum that are installed at the front of the shaft with a threaded aperture.
This is a site where arrowheads are attached to the shaft. They are sold in standard sizes to allow for a great fit in the intended shafts and arrowheads.
The fletching is located at the rear end of the arrow and it’s made of 3 feathers or synthetic vanes. Two of them are made in the same colour while the remaining one is shaded differently.
The shading is meant to make it distinct because it is the part that faces the hunter in a shooting. The name used for this is the cock feather.
The fletching has an impact on the spin and aerodynamic drag of an arrow and this, as a consequence, improves its stability and accuracy. Some arrows may not come with the fletching but it is easy to install.
The arrow nock is the point that fits/ snaps into the bow’s nocking point. It is made of a plastic cup and is meant to hold the arrow in place while being drawn, before firing.
A good fit between the nock and the nocking point is required for optimal results. A loose fit might make the arrow fall off which too much grip may impact the accuracy of the arrow because it will be held back and cause a delay in the firing.
There are different types of nocks and they are named depending on their method of attachment to the shaft. The Press-fit nocks slide inside the hollow shaft and lock into place while the pin nocks lock onto a pin on the end of the shaft.
Over nocks slide on top of the shaft end holding on tightly, while the conventional nocks fit over different shafts and have a cone-shaped end. Sometimes, the conventional nocks may need to be glued into place for a better hold.
In conclusion, learning the anatomy of the hunting arrow contributes to the understanding of the best features to consider during a purchase. Some important features are the arrowhead, the shaft, and its different characteristics, the fletching, and the nock. | <urn:uuid:6674365d-1b15-457d-90ae-7e9a4c117922> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://outdoorgeartoday.com/parts-of-a-hunting-arrow/ | 2023-09-27T12:53:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.953983 | 1,188 |

Correction 1/18/19: The Parks and Recreation Commission meets on Jan. 24, not Jan. 14, as was originally published.
OLYMPIA – Jan. 17, 2019 – The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission will convene its first regular meeting of 2019 in Tacoma next week.
The meeting begins at 9 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 24, at Titlow Lodge, 8425 Sixth Ave., Tacoma.
Sixth Ave., Tacoma. (Driving directions). Commission regular meetings are six times a year in pre-determined locations around the state. Time for public comment is provided at all regular meetings. A full agenda, including information about opportunities for public comment is available at http://parks.state.wa.us/154/Commission-meetings-agendas The meeting will begin with an executive session, then will open to the public portion of the meeting.
As part of its action agenda, the Commission will consider minor housekeeping changes to Washington Administrative Code governing use of state parks. Examples of proposed changes to WAC include permit timelines; clarifying rules governing recreational fires and appropriate vehicular practices on ocean beaches; adding “watercraft launches” to the listing of boating facilities managed by parks and clarifying that snowmobiles are the only motorized vehicles allowed on trails seasonally dedicated to winter recreation.
The Commission also will consider changing its park planning terminology from “park long-term boundary” to “park-associated landscape.” The term is associated with the agency’s Classification and Management Planning (CAMP) process. State Parks staff works with the public to adopt land classifications and create management plans for parks. About 70 percent of the agency’s 124 state parks and well over 80 percent of its land base have gone through the CAMP process to date. During CAMP, planners and public participants also take a big-picture look at what lands, independent of ownership, would advance the conservation and recreation mission of a park. The big-picture look can include private land and has, at times, caused needless alarm to landowners.
The change in terminology is being proposed because the activity was never intended to pressure landowners to sell, but rather to identify future potential of lands for park uses. In such cases where private lands are identified and landowners are interested, State Parks may enter shared-property management agreements, solicit conservation easements, accept donations, exchange agency-owned property for private property or purchase private property. State Parks staff believes that removing the word “boundary” from the concept will better reflect the non-binding nature of the designation.
In other business, the Commission will adopt the director’s 2019 performance plan and document satisfactory 2018 performance and elect commission officers for 2019. Additionally, several reports will be presented, including a Boating Program update, financial and budget reports and a legislative update.
Commission work session
A work session is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 23, at Titlow Lodge, 8425 Sixth Ave., Tacoma. Commission work sessions are open to the public; however, there is no opportunity for public comment, and no formal action is taken. The agenda includes executive staff reports, as well as:
- An update on work underway with the University of Washington Climate Impacts Group to develop a climate change adaptation plan for State Parks.
- A discussion with Tacoma Metro Parks leadership about common trends and issues.
- A report on how the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) informs agency decision-making.
- An update on a CAMP process currently underway for the Blue Mountain Area parks, which include Palouse Falls, Lyons Ferry and Lewis and Clark Trail state parks.
- Discussion about developing the Commission’s 2021-23 strategic plan.
- A real estate update.
Commission members will gather Tuesday, Jan. 22, at Metropolitan Park District of Tacoma sites for several tours and discussions:
- 1:35 p.m. – Eastside Community Center/First Creek Middle School Campus, for a discussion on partnerships, whole child access, sports fields, turf and lights.
- 2:30 p.m. – Ruston Way, Point Ruston, Dune Peninsula, Wilson Way and Point Defiance Marina for discussion on climate change, joint capital planning and deferred maintenance.
- 3:20 p.m. – Point Defiance Park maintenance shops, Triangle, Pagoda, Owen Beach, Fort Nisqually Living History Museum and 5-Mile Drive, to discuss forest health, infrastructure replacement, parking and traffic management.
- 4 p.m. – Environmental Learning Center and Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium, to discuss joint operations and management, capital bonds, applied learning and conservation management.

To quote the pop artist Aubrey Graham, better known as Drake, “I’m in shock….the nerve…..the audacity”. Like most Hip-Hop enthusiasts, I have been keeping up with the recent “beef” between Pusha T and Drake. Though there are many issues to be concerned with throughout the world, the trading of rap bars amongst “elite” rap artist fits as a form of entertainment at times. After hearing a song entitled “Duppy Freestyle” by Drake over Memorial Weekend, like most fans I anticipated a response from Pusha T. Seeing that I personally have been a fan of Pusha T’s music throughout the years, I knew his response would be calculated and well-thought out. Around 8pm on Tuesday, May 29th Pusha T delivered what many would consider to be a body blow response to Drake’s recent diss track, but it wasn’t the lyrics that caught my attention, the blackface image used for Pusha T’s artwork struck a nerve.
The artwork used for the track entitled “The Story of Adidon” featured Drake painted in blackface. I was immediately upset to see such a talented and top artist present himself in such a way that was definitely cringe worthy. For brief historical context, mostly white individuals have used blackface in order to reinforce some of the negative/made up stereotypes that have haunted black people throughout the world for many generations. Blackface has been used for years to add to the justification of mistreatment of black people. Categorized as a form of “entertainment” by those who have participated in the oppression of black people, blackface has found itself once again in the topic of discussion. This time Drake, who identifies as a black man, is at the center of the controversy, which makes the concept of blackface confusing to some.
As I watched people throughout the world on social media go back and forth about the photo of Drake, I began to think that this is actually a much bigger problem than most social media users realize. As I watched comments and videos, I made sure to pay close attention those that were able to mysteriously find justification in the photo. I actually couldn’t believe that some people were justifying it because he was black, but then again I’m not surprised by the thoughts of today’s social media scholars. For people to find some form of justification shows the power that one artist has and it’s actually scary when given much thought. For a artist who considers himself black to have fans or trolls to cancel out their feelings of blackface in order to protect their favorite artist is astonishing. So at 2:30AM on Thursday, May 31, 2018, I issue the following open letter to Drake aka Drizzy aka Aubrey Graham:
I would like to inform you that the picture of you used as Pusha T’s diss record artwork is very disrespectful. Allow me to tell you why since this photo is just now emerging and you never addressed it until now. The millions of black people throughout the world have been tormented by the stereotypical images of black people in the media and you have participated in that legacy with this picture. Just so you know everything is not considered “art” some actions are honestly full of shit and should be addressed swiftly. I’ve seen some fans come to your rescue and justify the photo for you, but let me inform you blackface is not acceptable by anyone regardless of their race. Blackface is distrustful and hurtful to those who have to endure mistreatment simply because of their skin color. You being a black man, there is no excuse for the photo and should be more thoughtful of your actions. You recently posted a response (not an apology) on your Instagram, which I found disrespectful as well. To minimize your response to such a topic to only an Instagram post shows you that are still not thinking clearly and you believe that the real world only exist on social media. Your fans and the people you have disappointment deserve a public statement with you actually addressing the photo besides you seem to never have a problem publicly speaking when it is “album mode” as you like to say.
A black man who professionaly writes for a living, but decided to give you few freelance writing bars.
P.S. send that invoice for the extra 20

Pharma got a head start on working with patients, but some medical technology companies could catch up quickly if they have the right tools, templates and examples of success
The medical technology sector is large, diverse and populated with smaller players. While medicines makers tend to be large multinationals, often focused on several disease areas, the medtech industry is teeming with niche companies — along with a handful of big corporations.
Its size and diversity, coupled with the sector’s short innovation lifecycle, help to explain why pharma companies have been quicker than their medtech counterparts in embracing patient engagement. Big medicines companies devoted time and resources to incorporating patient perspectives in drug development, while also working with patient advocates to enhance adherence to medication and run disease awareness initiatives.
This is new territory for some medtech firms, but the speed and agility required by their rapid, iterative approach to innovation could help motivated companies move more quickly than their pharma peers in the early days of the shift to patient engagement. In fact, latecomers could skip several steps in the journey to normalising patient involvement, potentially leapfrogging laggards who started early but have moved slowly.
‘We are seeing growing enthusiasm across multiple areas of the company to increase patient engagement throughout the total product lifecycle,’ says Barry Liden, Vice President of Patient Engagement at Edwards Lifesciences. ‘Asking patients about their journeys, their experience and their perspectives early in the innovation lifecycle helps to ensure we’re meeting their needs.’
As Liden’s job title suggests, Edwards — a global company primarily focused on technologies for heart valve disease — has been an early mover in patient engagement, appointing a dedicated team to lead the charge. However, there is still some way to go before the instinct to incorporate patient perspectives is a reflex across the industry.
DeAnna DuBose, Director of Patient Engagement at Edwards, sees opportunities for medtech to catch up fast. ‘We are trying to weave patient engagement into business as usual,’ she says. ‘We can look at what pharma has done and potentially move faster. Some of the barriers to working with patients have been taken down, allowing medtech to move at a quicker pace.’
DuBose says the pharma sector began working more closely with patients several years ago, but the initial focus tended to be on the period after products were approved. ‘Disease awareness and medication adherence came first, before incorporating patient perspectives in the earlier stages of drug development,’ she says. ‘To make the biggest impact, medtech is beginning with the product development phase and moving forward from there.’
Wanted: success stories
To catalyse the widespread adoption of patient engagement in medtech, sector-specific guidance and tools are needed to help decision-makers see the benefits in a relatable context. ‘The number one barrier is public examples of success,’ says Liden. ‘The industry needs to generate and share examples of patient engagement that can be easily applied to a number of different types of companies — of various sizes and areas of activity.’
As the concept of working with patients becomes better known, business leaders are asking for concrete case studies of patient engagement in action; they want to know the steps required to make it happen. ‘We are working with PFMD and partners to try to address this by developing the templates and tools needed to make patient engagement work,’ Liden says.
He says healthcare companies, working in a fast-moving and regulated environment, can find it overwhelming when faced with the prospect of engaging with communities of patients. And, while some tools built for medicines companies can be used by medical technology companies, others must be adapted. ‘What works in the drug industry will not always transfer seamlessly to medtech; it’s important that the guidance and tools available feel like they were made to be used in our sector.’
Filling this gap will help Edwards continue to expand its patient engagement work, but also serves the wider industry. DuBose acknowledges that not all medtech companies, particularly smaller ones, have a dedicated patient engagement team. ‘It is important to show companies a path to follow,’ she says. ‘We want to help them see that there are tools tailored to their needs.’
Developing medtech-specific tools could increase the adoption of patient engagement and ensure high standards prevail across the industry. This protects the reputation of the sector as a whole and, crucially, safeguards patient organisations as they embark on new relationships with devices and diagnostics companies.
‘Patients are why we are here,’ Liden says. ‘We have always engaged patients in one form or another, and are expanding our efforts. Along the way, we want to ensure that high-quality patient interactions are the norm. In the end, this benefits everyone.’

No real progress on the B&W quilt last night. I did take a walk around the yard and found another zucchini that I had missed. I put a rock under the plant to get the zucchini off the ground and so it got more sunshine since it is yellow on the backside.
Wednesday, July 27, 2022
I had about 20 minutes to quilt on the B&W quilt last evening. Here is how the quilting looks on the back.
Tuesday, July 26, 2022
For my next project I am going back to the black and white quilt. I had started quilting it earlier this year, but it had to be set aside when other more urgent projects popped up.
Monday, July 25, 2022
I didn't make the top, but I am still counting it as a finish for 2022. Yes, the bowtie quilt is done. I bound it with some vintage fabric I had in my stash. One side is 3 inches longer than the other, but that just adds to the charm of this hand pieced quilt. I handed it over to the owner this morning, a woman I work with, and she was thrilled with it. She thinks her great grandmother might have pieced it, but she is not sure. I threw it in the washer and it came out great. The finished size was 74" wide, one side 79" and the other 82". I used off white fabric for the back. The difference in the length from side to side would have been even worse if I hadn't taken off four rows. Those four rows were so skewed that there was no way I could have quilt them.
Wednesday, July 20, 2022
I am now 60% done with the quilting. I had a bit more time to quilt since I had to take a half day of vacation yesterday to meet the A/C service guy.

I will start out with the quilt progress. When I had time over the last four days I worked on the bowtie quilt. I am having to work in some of the fullness in places, but overall it has been easy to quilt. I am about 40 to 45 percent done with the quilting.

I finished the performance amp cover. That thing had a lot of details which meant time.
Wednesday, July 13, 2022
Sewing emergencies exhaust me. When I got home after work I took care of my traps then headed to the studio to work on the amp cover. I spent some time thinking and then just went for it. I decided to make a zippered pocket to insert the five layers of moving blanket in. That way I could construct the rest of the cover without having to deal with the weight of the moving blankets. This is the piece that will fit the front and sides with the moving blankets resting on the front of the amp.
Tuesday, July 12, 2022
I had planned on quilting that vintage bowtie quilt next, but plans changed last night. My nephew called and brought over an amp he needs a padded cover made for it to get the right sound. He doesn't like the sound coming from his other amps; the sound is too sharp and loud. He had this bigger amp with a closed back and with a padded cover he thinks the sound will be so much better. He can't put covers on the smaller amps because the backs are open to let the heat out generated by the tubes inside. So this will be my project for the next couple of nights so he can use this amp for the shows we have for this weekend.

What a weekend! Let's start with my latest finish. This is for the son of a woman I work with for his high school graduation. It finished 69 1/2" x 95 1/4".

The Princeton Alumni Weekly — known as PAW — keeps Princeton alumni connected to each other and to their university. We’re part of Princeton, which means we have a first-hand view of University news. Yet we’re also editorially independent, so we can report that news with objectivity. Online and in print, we offer timely news and analysis, thoughtful interviews and essays, insightful coverage of Princeton sports and arts, in-depth profiles of undergraduate and graduate alumni, and a lively letters section. With each new issue, more than 80 classes of Princeton graduates stay in touch through password-protected Class Notes that incorporate dozens of photos. Alumni memorials are written by classmates specifically for PAW.
Founded in 1900, the magazine once was published weekly and now comes out 11 times each year, more than any other alumni magazine in the world. Online stories and multimedia features provide additional content for readers. PAW also publishes an annual guide to one of Princeton’s greatest traditions, Reunions.

As outlined in the MOU, the University does not provide content for publication or review articles in advance of publication for the purposes of editing or revising content. PAW makes available in each issue space for the president of the University to communicate with the alumni (the “President’s Page”), and PAW does not edit or revise the content of the President’s Page.
How is PAW funded?
The University sets and funds 100 percent of PAW’s annual budget. Revenue from external advertising may supplement the University-established budget for special projects.
Who is on PAW’s advisory board, and what is its role?
PAW’s board provides editorial guidance and broad oversight for the magazine. The board also helps to ensure that PAW remains editorially independent.
There are 12 voting members on the board: seven alumni with professional experience in media, including a member of one of the three most recent undergraduate classes and one representative of graduate alumni; one faculty member; the vice chair of the Alumni Council; the chair of the Alumni Council on Class Affairs; the deputy vice president for alumni engagement; and one member appointed by the president of the University.

Year after year the fakes are getting harder to distinguish. At Pease & Curren, although we do not claim to be gemologists, we continually upgrade our testing equipment to keep in step with the fast growing synthetic diamond market.
It used to be we could “frost” the stones. Frosting is a chemical process during which a stone “reacts” and turns a frosted white color if it not a diamond. This has worked well up until recent times.
The properties of Moissanite are similar to that of a diamond that most diamond testers are fooled. Moissanite’s density is so close to that of a diamond it is taken for a diamond on many occasions. We now have a Moissanite tester in house although we generally are asked to sort frosted, clear and colored only.
Synthetic Diamonds correspond closely to natural diamonds. So much so they cannot be identified from the thermo tester.
In addition, Synthetic diamonds are becoming more popular, we find ourselves consistently training our personnel to properly identify synthetic fakes. Here are some tips we give to our customers:
- A synthetic diamond, sometimes called a lab grown diamond usually has an inscription on the girdle of the stone- usually of the grower’s logo.
- Sometimes a synthetic diamond displays uneven coloration. If you transmit light through it you will sometimes see a pattern.
- It may have a metallic luster.
- It may be attracted to a magnet.
- After you use a ultraviolet fluorescence lamp to identify, a persistent fluorescence will remain after the lamp is shut off.
A real diamond:
- Shows a slight or distinctive strain pattern. This is because of how it is developed over the many years of growth.
- A diamond is flawed, it has inclusions. The thing is the flaws are sometimes hard to find in melee. A larger diamond is easier.
Source: The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) has developed ways to identify these diamonds. See the GIA article which includes a chart. | <urn:uuid:66bf20a9-dd29-4749-a09f-6c9f798d1a9b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://peaseandcurren.com/blog/2016/09/13/5-ways-spot-synthetic-diamond/ | 2023-09-27T12:50:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.942573 | 432 |

AI image generators, like DALL-E, have taken the world by storm, captivating professionals and casual users alike. These remarkable tools leverage the power of artificial intelligence to create stunning and often surreal images with a few clicks. With user-friendly interfaces and quality results, these tools have become a hit among individuals, professionals, and marketers. In this blog, we’ll showcase AI images from seven free AI image generators with the prompt, “Cute panda surfing a wave.”
In November 2022, Canva announced its new text-to-image generator. Canva is known in the creative industry as one of the top free graphic design tools. And this juggernaut has joined the AI bandwagon by launching an efficient AI image generator. Since launching, the platform has created over six million images for presentations, logos, business flyers, and more.
From practical descriptions to whimsical ideas, Canva creates one-of-a-kind images with a click of a button. Enhance your photos by modifying brightness, adjusting contrast, or playing with filters. You may also generate AI art in various styles, such as 3D, concept, and paintings.
Canva’s image result was realistic and straightforward, a perfect tool if you want a no-fuss AI image tool.
When choosing an AI image generator for free AI images, it’s best to check the quality of the results. Getimg.ai is another contender in the AI image editor hemisphere. You must create an account to access the free AI image generator. Getimg.ai offers up to seven powerful “ControlNet” pipelines for the generator to create stunning images.
You can edit the images using text-based instructions, making the entire design process quick and easy. Plus, users will have more than 25 community-trained models and can join the platform’s Discord channel.
I find the free AI art similar to Canva’s concept, with a few flaws. The panda’s hand wasn’t appropriately positioned on the surfboard, and there was discoloration on its face.
One of the best AI image generators, Fotor has garnered over six million users and generated over 50 million images. Fotor’s AI image editor offers a clean and straightforward interface, with the text field displayed in the middle. You can choose various styles for your image results, such as 3D, realistic, illustration, cartoon, cyberpunk, and oil painting.
If you’re unsatisfied with the images, you can hit Generate, which will give you other options. Moreover, you may also upload a photo and modify it according to your preference. Fotor also offers tips on how to write the text prompt for better results.
I got creative with this one and chose an oil painting for this surfing panda.
If you want to get free AI images without signing up for an AI image platform, try Images.ai. This AI text-to-image tool takes advantage of the latest generative AI through the diffusion of open-source code. Images.ai aims to improve its algorithm continuously and offers its powerful AI technology for free.
Select from concepts, which are pre-engineered prompt shortcuts that tell its AI how to render images. Click Brew, and Images.ai will do the magic for you. You may use AI photos from this platform for commercial purposes, such as websites, PDFs, and book covers, with no attribution. Get 25 images daily and add more tokens if you need more photos.
Images.ai’s image example shows two pandas with various background elements.
Get your free AI images from Picsart. Enjoy multiple features using this AI image software and enhance photos easily. Use the AI-powered image enhancer to identify and correct low contrast, blurriness, and noise. Increase pixel count for a crispier image in a matter of seconds.
If you’re into avatars, Picsart is the platform for you. Create magical AI-generated avatars and bring your artistic vision to life. Turn your profile picture into a stunning avatar, or how about creating an avatar for your furry companion? Another excellent feature is the AI Replace, which lets you infuse a creative twist on your favorite pictures!
This is the detailed matte painting style for the surfing panda.
If you’re into the NFT niche, Hotpot is the AI image generator to use. It’s specifically tailored to create, customize, and share NFTs. Users can create their NFTs using design templates, image filters, fonts, backgrounds, and effects.
Hotpot’s Vary feature allows users to get multiple images based on the same text prompt. This AI graphics tool is free to use, but you can buy credits for commercial use. You may also seed images using Hotpot’s AI Art Remixer.
Hotpot’s free AI image is my favorite out of all the AI images on this list. The result is unique and dreamy, perfect if you want your image to stand out.
Deepai offers various tools to enhance your creativity. Founded in 2017, Deepai continues to innovate and scale Zendo to do all tasks of an AI agent. The best part is users can publish free AI photos commercially—even for NFT. You’ll have a copyright for all generated images as they don’t have an owner.
The only downside is the resolution or quality of the photos. Deepai isn’t offering a higher resolution for now but promises it will be available soon. Deepai’s Pro plan is affordable at $4.99 monthly, with 500 generated images.
The generated image shows a panda and a wave sans the surfboard. Indeed, the resolution isn’t the best.
Brands and marketing teams can leverage AI text-to-image generators for their advertising visuals. However, choosing the most high-quality AI image tool that produces unique and professional graphics is vital. In the ever-evolving marketing world, the allure of AI-generated images may seem enticing. However, the power of custom images should not be underestimated.
While AI image generators offer convenience and efficiency, they often lack the human touch and creativity that custom images bring to the table. Custom images allow for unique branding, tailored messaging, and a deeper connection with the target audience. They can capture the essence of a brand’s personality, evoke emotions, and tell a compelling story. Custom images allow marketers to differentiate themselves from competitors, create authentic visual experiences, and build stronger audience relationships.

Hello, hope folks are doing well today. Last month, I decided to move Penny Fractions from Revue, which Twitter purchased earlier this year, over to Ghost, an open-source, non-profit newsletter platform. I’ll be completely honest, I was planning on doing a longer post explaining my reasons behind the move. But, unfortunately, I’ve been battling a summer cold over the last week and it’s put me behind on a number of things, including this introduction post. One of Ghost’s big selling points is the ability to make it easier for newsletters to be a business, and since I recently stopped using Patreon, I’m certainly considering what monetization will look like for Penny Fractions on this new platform. That is yet to be determined, but if you’re interested in supporting this newsletter right now, the best way would still be to forward and recommend it to friends and colleagues.
The other bit of exciting personal news I wanted to share with you today is that I’m starting a new role at SoundCloud. I’ll now be reporting to Michael Pelczynski, the man who architected and led the launch of our Fan-Powered Royalties earlier this year. And last week, in support of FPR, Portishead uploaded a charity Abba cover to SoundCloud. I’m very excited to work more closely with Mr. Pelczynski on this and other initiatives coming out of the company.
Back to Penny Fractions: if you’re reading this via e-mail, please do check out the new Penny Fractions website. I expect it to go through a number of updates and changes over the rest of 2021, but one small thing I’m excited about is that I can now properly tag posts, so if you want to find all of my writing on Spotify or TikTok, you can simply search for those tags. There is also an About page and a Publishing Schedule page where you can see upcoming newsletter topics and dates through the rest of the year. I’ll be back to my regular newsletter schedule on August 4th and if you have any thoughts, concerns, ideas, or just things you want me to know, please do e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.org. Otherwise, I’ll be spending another day hoping this cold goes away. | <urn:uuid:d68ad8ab-3c31-4e86-ba76-347ab83b8322> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://pennyfractions.ghost.io/penny-fractions-refreshed/ | 2023-09-27T11:08:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.934145 | 490 |

Advancements in Access Control Readers
July 14, 2023
Access control gives you the power to manage your building security on a granular level but have you ever thought about the technology behind it? Specifically the access control readers? It’s okay if you haven’t because staying up-to-date on the latest technology is our job. Rest assured that we’ve implemented the appropriate updates to keep you as secure as possible.
Check out as Kevin Link, Senior Manager of Technical Services at Per Mar, speaks with Brach Bengtzen from the Big Access Podcast at ISC West this past April.
Red™ Readers vs. Standard Readers
The standard Wiegand reader was sufficient in the past, but times have changed, as they always do. The reality is that once its credentials could be cloned by the machines at big box home improvement stores, they became unsecured and dangerous. The high-security readers cannot be cloned and have much to offer.
Our high-security Red™ Readers offer OSDP secure connectivity, high (13.56MHz) and low-frequency (125 kHz) communication, and mobile-ready options. Red™ Readers are now one of the most secure and versatile readers on the market and can handle every application from daily installation to the most secure implementation.
Other pluses of the highly secure Red™ Readers
- Wire doesn’t have to be run for each reader now that multi-drop accommodates many readers by running one cable length.
- Powered by the cloud, ours is the only access solution offering real-time updates, cloud backup, and 24-hour support.
- Variety of controllers for entry or enterprise level.
- Future proof
- The app doubles as fully encrypted mobile credentials which unlock doors using your smartphone.
- Easy firmware updates.
Implementing Per Mar’s access control solutions for your business means more than just keeping unwanted visitors out. Effortlessly manage access control for your organization through our user-friendly dashboard. From issuing credentials to employees and visitors to accessing records of secure areas and entry logs, every action is securely logged and readily available for viewing in the central dashboard.
Whether hosted or managed access control, choose from a variety of secure access options, including key cards, key fobs, electronic keys, pin codes, and Bluetooth. Plus, our access control systems can be integrated with security cameras, burglar alarms, and fire alarms. Our team at Per Mar will collaborate with you to identify and implement the most suitable access control solution that aligns with your organization’s needs and requirements.

Popular photography backpack company Shimoda has announced its latest generation of adventure bags in the Action X V2 series.
The first-generation Action X70 backpack was crowned as the Best Adventure Backpack for Photographers in PetaPixel’s “Best Camera Bags in 2023” guide due to the overall ruggedness, the height-adjustable shoulder straps, the internal metal frame that evenly distributes the weight of heavier loads, and the pack’s weight being on the lighter side when empty.
The new Version 2 models of the Action X series keep everything that PetaPixel loved but are upgraded with several new features based on customer requests.
New Features and Upgrades
Starting off, the new Action X V2 series of backpacks has acquired a couple of popular features from the Explore V2 series released two years ago. These include a padded luggage pass-through on the side of the pack and a handle at the base that makes it easier to lift using two hands.
There are also plenty of original upgrades too. On each side of the pack are now removable tripod pockets that can also stash water bottles and similarly-sized objects. Once removed from the sides of the pack, Shimoda gives the example of relocating the pockets onto the waist belt for easier access.
The removable waist belt now has a new trick thanks to a design change. Included with the new packs, the two sides of the hip belt are separated by an adjustable loop that can shorten or length as needed. So if a wearer has a smaller waist, the padded portion can be slimmed down more, or vice versa for larger waists.
Another design change that Shimoda is promising is the larger phone pocket on the left shoulder strap. The company says it can accommodate the iPhone 14 Pro Max — presumably that goes for similarly-sized phones. PetaPixel‘s experience with his pocket in the previous design was that it felt a bit tight with just an iPhone 12 mini on the first-generation Action X70 bag, so this should be an improvement for all, regardless of phone size.
At the front of the bag is also an added laptop sleeve. There’s still a laptop sleeve on the inside of the main compartment, too, just like with the first version. The front sleeve can hold up to a 16-inch MacBook Pro on most Action X bag sizes, according to Shimoda.
Another new finishing touch is a small AirTag pocket with a simple closure to stash away a hidden tracker. I’ve just been throwing my AirTags into otherwise-unused pockets deep within my backpacks, often forgetting exactly where they are. This little detail could save some frustration down the line.
Lastly, the Action X V2 bags now come stock with a rain cover, something that users have requested. Back when the previous bags were released, Shimoda responded by saying most people don’t use them but would still have to eat the extra cost if included. This is perhaps another instance of customers being heard by the company.
Sizes and Colors
The new bags have a new warm yellow color option in addition to the classics of black and army green, plus an exclusive teal for the “Women’s Collection.” From my understanding, the only difference in that collection is the color and the fact it comes with “Women’s Tech Straps” and a “Women’s Adjustable Belt” by default.
There are two new sizes of 25-liter (X25) and 40-liter (X40) backpacks that round out the rest of the X30, X50 and X70 Version 2 lineup. The X25 V2 has become the company’s smallest Action X series pack and pairs well with the Mirrorless Core Units, according to Shimoda. The X40 V2 is now the smallest pack that the company offers that can still fit a gripped DSLR, such as the Canon EOS R3 and Nikon Z9 with the appropriate Core Unit.
The new version of the 70-liter model, now called the X70 HD (“Heavy Duty”), also has most of the new features found in the V2 packs. According to the company, the handle is now reinforced, as well as other “critical stress points” throughout the pack. There’s also a new stiffer belt included. These changes should bring more stability to the pack when loaded down with the enormous amount of gear that can fit inside of it.
In addition to the new backpacks, Shimoda is also releasing the new Large DSLR Core Unit V3, which the company says has an increased length to accommodate longer telephoto lenses like the Sony 200-600mm. There’s also now an XXL DV Core Unit that only fits into the jumbo-sized Action X70 and DV Roller bags and can accommodate 600mm f/4 lenses mounted on a gripped camera body.

I recently had a chat with a friend who had just welcomed a second dog into his home. He was concerned about some dominant behavior exhibited by the new addition. He mentioned that the new dog would often stand over the older dog when the latter was lying down. Intrigued by this behavior, I shared some insights with him. Let me explain why your female dog stands over your male dog and what it means.
Table of Contents
Understanding the Dominance Display
Dogs communicate in various ways, even though they can’t speak like us humans. They rely on barking, whining, and growling but primarily express themselves through body language. When a dog stands over another dog who is lying down, it is a display of dominance. By assuming this posture, the standing dog establishes its role as the alpha pack leader, signaling that the other dog is a part of their pack.
The standing dog may also place a paw or chin on the lying dog’s shoulder or attempt to appear taller by raising themselves onto their tiptoes. While this behavior can be seen as a form of aggression, it doesn’t necessarily indicate a problem. In some cases, it shows that the dominant dog is accepting the submissive dog into their pack.
Various Reasons Behind Standing Behavior
There are multiple factors that contribute to a dog standing over another. Firstly, it is a way for dogs to establish a hierarchy within their pack. Just like in the wild, where only one alpha leader can exist, dominant dogs take on the role of protector and caretaker. It’s not uncommon for smaller female dogs to be submissive, with larger male dogs assuming the alpha position. When both dogs accept this hierarchical structure, there are usually no conflicts.
Another reason behind this behavior is a desire to take control of a situation. Older dogs often stand over rowdy puppies to assert their authority and maintain order. Similarly, puppies may try to seem bigger and taller to feel more in control of their environment.
Recognizing Problematic Behavior
While a dog standing over another dog is typically not a cause for concern, you need to be vigilant if signs of aggression and dominance persist. If one dog willingly accepts the submissive role, the problem should resolve itself naturally. However, if both dogs display equal levels of dominance, it may escalate into fights. In such cases, intervention becomes necessary to prevent the situation from worsening.
Addressing the Issue
It’s essential to address the standing behavior between your dogs effectively. Contrary to some beliefs, rewarding the submissive dog with extra treats, toys, or attention is not the solution. This approach may only provoke the aggressive dog to challenge the submissive one further. Similarly, punishing the alpha dog for their behavior can lead the submissive dog to mimic aggressive actions and increase overall anxiety among the dogs.
If aggression becomes a problem, establishing a predictable routine for both dogs is crucial. Controlling their feeding times, walking schedules, and treat distribution allows you to identify triggers that lead to aggressive behavior and address them accordingly. For example, if the dogs fight over food, you can gradually move their bowls closer together over time, rewarding them for peaceful coexistence.
Recognizing Dominance towards You
It is equally important to be aware of signs of dominance displayed by your dog towards you. If your dog stands over you while you’re lying down, tries to place their paws on your shoulders, or growls and snaps at you, it’s a clear indication that they see themselves as the alpha over you. This behavior should be addressed promptly to prevent further escalation.
Physical punishment is not the answer here. Instead, remove yourself from the situation calmly, using a cheerful tone to alleviate the dog’s tension. Seeking assistance from an animal behavior specialist is highly recommended. They can observe the dog in your home environment and provide personalized training to address the aggressive tendencies and restore balance.
Preventing Aggressive Behavior
To minimize the chances of aggressive behavior, consider the following preventive measures:
- Spay or neuter your pet: This can reduce aggression in dogs by decreasing certain hormones. It is best to do this while they are young.
- Enroll in obedience classes: Training your dog with positive reinforcement from an early stage helps establish a bond and enables them to understand and obey your commands.
- Set boundaries: Avoid allowing your dog on furniture, as it may lead to a sense of superiority. Reinforce this behavior early on and discourage jumping on furniture.
- Ignore begging behavior: Refrain from feeding your dog directly from the table. Instead, prepare separate treats and add them to their bowl on the ground.
With patience, training, and a firm understanding of your dogs’ dynamics, you can manage and reduce the standing behavior between them. If there is no aggression or food-related conflicts, the dogs may naturally settle into their social hierarchy.

In 2011, the College of Georgia’s Carl Vinson Institute of Authorities had a go to from a member of the Seoul Metropolitan Authorities, the capital of South Korea.
Taesik Yun was a doctoral candidate within the Faculty of Public and Worldwide Affairs’ public administration and coverage division on the time and remembers the official asking Rusty Brooks, then the director of Worldwide Middle on the institute, why the college didn’t have a Korean governmental coaching program within the institute because it was one thing that was supplied in Seoul.
“Since then, we attempt to have Korean college and workers on the institute to run a Korea program and invite visiting students from Korea,” Yun mentioned.
Thus started the UGA Korea Program, initially within the Vinson Institute, that invited authorities officers from Korea to come back and practice on the institute, constructing connections with native and state officers in Georgia and studying about American authorities methods.
Yun joined the UGA Korea Program a 12 months later in 2012 after ending his doctorate and now acts as this system director and coordinator.
“We develop custom-made coaching packages for both long-term coaching, which lasts about two years, or for people who find themselves coming to Georgia for only a few weeks,” mentioned Yun.
The UGA Korea Program developed relationships with many native and central authorities businesses in Korea, together with the Seoul Metropolitan Authorities, which has a gaggle of practically 50,000 native officers. This system has grown to host a number of Korean college students and visiting students at UGA every year.
“We’re at the moment receiving as much as 5 college students in our MPA program yearly from the Ministry of Personnel Administration, which oversees and manages HR associated points for all of the central authorities officers in Korea, and I’m aiding this system by coordinating and managing some programs that the scholars are required to finish in our MPA program,” mentioned Yun.
The visiting officers in this system have to finish 41 credit, identical to the UGA Grasp of Public Administration college students, however over the past semester, they take different programs which might be extra sensible for incumbent authorities officers, such because the World Management and Improvement program that SPIA’s Korea Program affords twice per week with different long-term visiting students from Korea all through the semester.
“The opposite factor they do is a neighborhood authorities group mission with a metropolis or a county in Georgia,” mentioned Yun. “We partnered with the Georgia Municipal Affiliation to search out tasks for our college students. I’ve been serving to all these actions and instructing associated to these native authorities practicums.”
Along with aiding the MPA program, Yun additionally supplies trainings for visiting officers from Korea.
“Every long-term visiting scholar can have their very own analysis subject and coaching want, so we help their analysis and coaching but in addition present some frequent matters for visiting students to assist them perceive us and U.S. tradition and the system that can assist their very own analysis and coaching whereas they’re staying right here,” he mentioned.
The Korea Program moved to the Faculty of Public and Worldwide Affairs in summer season 2021 and has been offering its providers to the Korean college students and visiting students collectively with the Middle for the Examine of World Points since summer season 2022.
The UGA Korea Program additionally works with different scholar trade or joint diploma packages, notably with Sungkyunkwan College and Seoul Nationwide College in Korea.
“We invite college students to come back over right here and be taught concerning the American political system, administration system and the context, after which we help with their analysis in public administration coverage,” Yun mentioned.
By constructing the governmental relationships over time, Yun has additionally helped accomplice Korean counties with Georgian counties. Yun gave the instance of a partnership between Taean County in Korea and Glynn County in Georgia.
“They’ve very comparable geographical places having the oceans close by and seashores, so that they have some frequent challenges from the native factors. I attempted to assist them to grasp the conditions and discover options in their very own context,” he mentioned.

Congratulations! You are going to be a grandparent to some really cute Maltese puppies soon. The thought of having a couple of these dogs running around the house is just too adorable.
Before we get to that, a lot of work and know-how needs to be done before the whelping stage of your pregnant Maltese dog. It is important that we know how to provide the proper care for our Female Maltese dog.
This guide will work well for dog owners who have yet to go through a Maltese pregnancy or would like to learn more about taking care of their pregnant Maltese.
Let’s get started.
What Is The Maltese Dog Breed All About?
Before we get deeper into the article, a little background info about the Maltese to do it justice.
The Maltese dog got its name from its country of origin, Malta. It is a toy dog given its size and can grow up to 7-9 pounds and stand about 9 inches high.
These little dogs are famous for their long, silky and dense coats that can reach the floor. It kinda makes it look like the dog is wearing a long and flowy robe.
Their big round eyes and little beady black noses never fail to capture the hardest of hearts. If you are also looking for a dog that is playful, charming, elegant and full of love, you can’t go wrong with a Maltese.
Oh yes, the Maltese doesn’t shed much, so it is also ideal for people with dog allergies.
When Should Your Maltese Get Pregnant?
If you are planning to breed your Maltese, you need to be aware of this.
A Maltese female dog can reach sexual maturity as young as six to eight months of age.
Some can even be ready to mate at four months of age. However, this does not mean that the female Maltese is ready to have her litter.
Many professional dog breeders agree that it is best to let the female dog go through a few heat cycles before breeding her.
Breeding a Maltese that is still so young can lead to pregnancy difficulties.
The Maltese is already such a little dog and trying to give birth when her pelvic area is not fully developed can be overwhelming to the female’s body.
It is best to at least wait until your dog is about two years old and has gone through a few heat cycles before mating her with a stud.
How Long Is A Maltese Pregnant For?
All dog breeds share the same gestation period which is about nine weeks. A teacup Chihuahua will have the same pregnancy duration as a St Bernard.
We are looking at approximately 58-72 days before the dog pregnancy is due. During this period, your dog will be going through a series of transformations.
How Can I Tell If My Maltese Is Pregnant?
Similar to humans, it isn’t always possible to know exactly when your Maltese is pregnant. It usually takes a few weeks for the dam to show physical signs of pregnancy.
Here are some changes that you will be able to notice during the gestation period. It can be broken up into three trimesters, each lasting about 21 days.
Even after your female Maltese has mated with a stud, there isn’t an exact way to tell if the mating was successful.
But once the sperm has fertilized the egg, changes will start to happen within her body.
The embryo in her uterus will start to grow and develop into a fetus. Her nipples will also start to enlarge to help feed her hungry puppies once they are born.
After a few weeks, the dam may also show signs of morning sickness like nausea, lethargy and being less interested in food.
As the pregnancy progresses, the first and second trimesters can be rather similar with the most noticeable changes being the growing size of the dog’s stomach from the forming puppies and her nipples.
The nipples will look larger and darker due to the increase in blood flow to that area.
Now would also be a good time to check if your dog has any inverted or infected nipples that can affect the feeding of her pups.
Your Maltese might also start to have clear mucous discharge from her virgina which further confirms her pregnancy.
During this trimester, it will also be a good time for the vet to carry out palpations and ultrasounds on the dog’s tummy to check on the Maltese litter size and the health of the unborn puppies.
This will be the final few weeks before your dog goes into labor physical changes are very apparent.
Your dog’s tummy is going to look really huge and swollen as the puppies reach their full size inside her.
Her nipples will also seem engorged and can even start to leak some milk.
Your pregnant dog could even start eliminating in the house due to the internal pressure that she is feeling from her unborn puppies.
About 10-14 days before she gives birth, you might even see her puppies begin to move inside her womb.
This will also be a good time to get the vet to do a final check on your dog to make sure everything is ok to ensure a smooth whelping process.
How Many Puppies Do Maltese Have?
The rule of thumb is that a smaller dog breed will usually have a smaller litter size as compared to larger dogs.
For most pregnant Malteses, you can expect a litter size of between 3-4 puppies. It isn’t uncommon for the bitch to just have one puppy or even six as well.
Most importantly, we want to ensure that both mother and pups are safe and healthy once the whelping process is over.
What Do You Feed A Pregnant Maltese?
Most mothers will take you that nutrition is a very important aspect of a pregnancy. Not only are you providing nutrition to your pregnant bitch but also to her unborn puppies.
If your dog is eating normally and is at a good weight, just continue to feed her normally.
There is no need to start overfeeding your dog during the first two trimesters as that can lead to obesity and complicate the birthing process.
It is more important that your dog does not lose weight during this period so it would be good to weigh your dog once a week to monitor her weight.
The best time to start feeding your pregnant Maltese more food is during the last trimester.
This is the period whereby the puppies really start to grow and the mother needs more nourishment to fuel that growth.
On average, most pregnant dogs eat about 30-60% more during this period so you can up your dog’s caloric intake slowly.
It would be better to feed her smaller meals more frequently as there’s not much space for her to digest a big meal with her puppies so much space in her tummy.
Some experience dog owners might even give their pregnant dogs, calcium supplements, folic acid and fatty acid supplementation to help with the healthy development of the fetus.
I would strongly urge you to check with your vet before giving your dog anything outside of its usual diet just to be on the safe side.
How To Help With Your Maltese Pregnancy?
So the big day has arrived and your Maltese is already on the verge of labor.
One good sign is to notice a drop in her body temperature. A dog’s normal body temperature ranges between 101-102.5 F.
A drop below this during the tail end of the third trimester is a good indication that she will give birth within the next 24-48 hours.
The first thing that you need to do is to set up an appropriate whelping box and area for your dog. This should be in a private and quiet area to let your dog focus on her labor.
Add many layers of towels in the whelping box as they will be a lot of bodily fluids and discharge.
Once the dog starts to push and the puppies start to emerge, there will be a sac attached to each puppy.
This is called the placenta which provides nourishment to the unborn pup.
Try to remove as many of these placenta sacs as possible as the mother dog will attempt to eat them.
It is fine if she just eats one but ingesting a few placentas can make her throw up which gives you a bigger mess to clear.
If the bitch doesn’t break away the puppy sac properly, you will need to do it quickly to prevent the puppy from suffocating.
Take a clean towel and wipe the puppy’s mouth and nose clean of any discharge and mucous.
Your Maltese will also be able to sever away the umbilical cord that attaches the puppy to the placenta sac.
If that doesn’t happen, use some clean dental floss and tie off the cord about an inch or two from the puppy’s belly.
You can then proceed to cut away the rest of the umbilical cord.
Most dogs will complete the birthing process in 12 hours. If you notice your bitch still straining to push but nothing comes out after an hour, get her to the vet right away for medical assistance.
The longer your dog remains in labor, the more complications can arise.
If your Maltese is a first-time mother, it might be a good idea to keep a close watch on her and her puppies for the first few weeks.
Some new dog mothers can treat their puppies roughly out of inexperience.
Have Your Maltese Checked Before Mating
Most couples will go for a health check before trying to conceive just to make sure that they are both in good health.
The same thing should be done for your Maltese before breeding her to ensure that she doesn’t have any genetically related diseases that can be passed on to her offspring.
Here are some health problems that Malteses are prone to.
A Maltese with this condition has an eye problem that will cause it to go blind within a year or two. It can happen to a dog at any age, even as young as puppies.
Malteses with retinal atrophy should not breed.
Cardiac problems seem to be the leading cause of death for this dog breed. Most Malteses are fine at birth but the problem starts to develop as they get older.
The mitral valve weakness in the heart is the main culprit which causes the backflow of blood which means less oxygen-rich blood can be transported around the body.
This isn’t a health-threatening problem but it can cause a lot of discomfort and mobility issues for the dog.
The kneecap of the Maltese will be out of place and can be seen in dogs as young as four months of age.
How Many Times Can A Maltese Get Pregnant?
Being pregnant and giving birth puts a lot of stress on a female Maltese’s body. It is best to not breed the Female Maltese more than three times to ensure a smooth and safe pregnancy.
The problem with many backyard breeders is that they don’t care about the welfare of the breeding dogs and just use them as breeding factories.
Many of these dogs are in really bad shape and give birth to litters with many congenital defects.
If you are not a professional or experienced breeder, it would be best to spay your dog after the pregnancy to prevent further pregnancies. | <urn:uuid:2f05f789-d2c2-4df8-b60b-3ec612d67ae8> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://petsbeam.com/pregnant-maltese/ | 2023-09-27T12:46:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.960212 | 2,418 |

We told you guys a few days ago that Samsung won a huge victory over Apple allowing them to sell their Galaxy Tabs in Australia. Well, just 4 hours before that ban was about to be overturned, the Sydney High Court gave Apple another break by delaying the ban-reversal to December 9th. I know, a week doesn’t seem like such a big deal but in the world of electronics, being kept from sales during the peak holiday shopping season has gotta sting.
Apple is no doubt grinning ear to ear after being given a little more time for the court to decide on their request for a special leave to overturn the reversal (essentially a reverse reversal). Samsung said in a response, “Samsung believes Apple has no basis for its application for leave to appeal and will vigorously oppose this to the High Court.”

You may have heard of it before, but what does web hosting mean? Basically, web hosting makes it possible for individuals’ or organizations’ websites to exist and be accessible across the internet. Web hosting services, also known as domain hosting, are provided by a web hosting company that provides the technologies and services required for a website to be viewed on the internet. Websites are hosted by these companies on special remote computers called servers.
Everyone needs a web host. Otherwise, their website would be completely inaccessible and lost in the void. It would be like trying to see your favorite musical artist perform, but they didn’t have a venue to perform in.
Different Types of Web Hosting
- Shared Hosting
- Dedicated Web Hosting
- Cloud Hosting
- VPS Hosting
Shared Hosting – Most websites exist on shared host servers where multiple websites live together. Making this type of hosting generally a great entry-level option for those just getting started online.
Dedicated Web Hosting – With dedicated web hosting, you rent the entire computer or server where your website exists. This is a more flexible option as you have total control regarding the server’s setup. This option can be faster and more secure, which is why larger companies with larger websites typically use it. Giving you ultimate control and customization of the server resources that can have higher site performance overall.
Cloud Hosting – Cloud servers are virtual servers comprised of many individual physical servers. It is created to handle high web traffic and is quite reliable as it’ always has backup servers ready if one fails.
VPS Hosting – Short for “Virtual Private Server” which is much more robust, having tons of features you will not find with shared hosting. The server resources are generally shared with other sites, the number is much smaller than shared hosting. This type of hosting allows you to have more control over the server resources, but does not come with cost of a separate server.
What to Look for in Finding a Good Web Host
Of course, not all website hosts are equal. Companies with better web hosts have more reliable, faster websites, which enable them to run a more efficient business. Here are some things to look out for in finding a good web hosting service.
A Strong Reputation – Any good web hosting service should have a long track record or reliability and a good reputation online. You can easily research this with third-party reviews from actual customers and also rankings on reliable tech publications. If you see a significant amount of consistently positive reviews, that’s a good sign.
24/7 Customer Service – The last thing you need when you’re making a crucial last-minute tweak to your website is for customer service to be unavailable when you need them most. The best web hosting services will offer high-quality customer service throughout all hours of the day and night. If they give you multiple options to contact them via phone, email, or live chat, that’s another good sign!
Robust Website Security – Data Leaks and online hackers are an unfortunate reality in today’s digital climate. Reducing these existential threats with top cybersecurity features should be a vital feature of any online web hosting service you’re considering. A good web hosting company will have SSL certificates (enables high-level encryption, more secure than HTTP), robust firewalls, and offer various other security add-ons and options to ensure your website is safe and secure at all times.
Ability to Scale – Growth factor in a website is essential and being able to accommodate that growth seamlessly is a necessity when choosing the right web host.
Backups – having issues with your website is inevitable. You will need to have been taking backups religiously since the creation of the website. It is worth looking into if there is an additional charge for this backup service. Most web hosting companies include but not always.
Switching Suppliers – Everyone runs into better deals along the road when it comes to essentials in life, web hosting is one of them. Does the provider offer a moving service or fee for migrating to a new provider.
A Fair Price – Last but not least, make sure you find a web hosting service that has a fair price. We recommend two different web hosting platforms that encompasses all of these features. Click on either of the two to see what they offer and how they can help, WP engine and Scala Hosting. Web hosting is an essential cost for your business, but make sure you find a service that you can afford that provides the correct value for you and your business!
Web hosting will allow you to have a website that is accessible 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Many business make the mistake of underestimating just how important a website is. A website in today’s world is the equivalent of opening a second location for your business, at least for those who know how to implement one correctly.
A good website provides essential information for your products or services, and a website can even engage your potential customers while you are sleeping at night. So web hosting isn’t really the driving force to make all of these things happen, but it is an essential platform needed to make a website accessible to the world.
In today’s digital environment, your website is the first impression of your business. Slow loading speeds and frequent unavailability are red flags that most internet users will not forgive. | <urn:uuid:7535d983-cb7a-49a6-b209-55b555dcec4e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://phdesigns.io/why-web-hosting-is-important/ | 2023-09-27T11:28:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.947408 | 1,110 |

The head of the maritime company that owns the South Korean ferry that sank with the loss of around 300 lives last month was detained Thursday ahead of formal manslaughter charges.
Prosecutors said Kim Han-Sik, chief executive of Chonghaejin Marine Co., was taken into custody at his home and would be formally arraigned later in the day.
“Kim faces various charges including manslaughter and violating maritime law,” senior prosecutor Yang Jung-Jin told.
The charges stem from allegations that Kim was involved in, or turned a blind eye to, the overloading of the 6,825-tonne ferry´s cargo consignment — seen as a major contributing factor to its capsize.
Handcuffed and wearing a cap and surgical mask that hid his face, Kim was paraded before TV cameras after he was detained.
“I apologise to the victims and the families,” he said.
He then refused to answer further questions from reporters, staying silent with his head bowed. | <urn:uuid:5587692f-c8ff-4455-84a0-319b7f422ec7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://photonews.com.pk/head-of-s-korea-ferry-owning-company-detained/ | 2023-09-27T12:24:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.982934 | 205 |
Inter Miami celebrated their 4-0 triumph over Charlotte FC at DRV PNK Stadium, ensuring a spot in the Leagues Cup semi-finals. Lionel Messi, and his wife, Antonella Roccuzzo, decided to mark the occasion with close friends and associates.
The party included David Beckham, Inter Miami’s franchise owner, and the club’s newest addition, Sergio Busquets. The two football giants were not alone; their wives joined the festivities.
The venue chosen for the evening was Gekko, an upscale “Japanese steakhouse and sushi concept” launched by David Grutman and music icon Bad Bunny. Gekko, renowned for its luxurious ambience, has fast become a magnet for celebrities in Miami. Adding to the elite guest list was Jordi Alba, Messi’s teammate at FC Barcelona and now Inter Miami, epitomizing the strong bond they’ve shared over the years on and off the field.
Miami Nights: Messi Embracing the Lifestyle
Miami, famed for its vibrant nightlife, has found a new patron in Lionel Messi. The Argentine football maestro is not shy about exploring the city’s gastronomic delights. Following Inter Miami’s win against Atlanta FC in the Leagues Cup, Messi was spotted savouring Italian cuisine. That evening too, the guest list was impressive, with Beckham, Jorge Mas, Busquets, and their significant others joining the celebrations.
Messi’s transition to MLS has been seamless professionally, with eight goals already under his belt since his debut. As Inter Miami gears up for their clash against Philadelphia Union, a victory could take them to the Leagues Cup final. And given Messi’s track record, one can only anticipate how grand the celebration would be if they clinch the title. | <urn:uuid:1c298dd6-2914-4aab-9aaa-7b42f7d16df3> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://photonews.com.pk/inter-miami-celebrations-messis-night-out-with-beckham-victoria/ | 2023-09-27T11:24:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.957925 | 378 |

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common condition that affects many men, especially as they age. While there are many medical treatments available, lifestyle factors can also play an important role in preventing and treating ED. Get help from experts for all your needs and queries, from professionals who have the knowledge and experience to guide you. Here are some of the lifestyle factors that can impact erectile function:
A healthy diet that is low in saturated and trans fats and high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein sources can help to prevent ED. Eating a diet that is high in unhealthy fats can contribute to cardiovascular problems, which can increase the risk of ED.
Regular physical activity can help to improve overall health and prevent ED. Exercise can help to increase blood flow throughout the body, which is essential for achieving and maintaining an erection. Men who are sedentary may be more likely to experience ED.
Smoking can damage blood vessels and decrease blood flow throughout the body, including to the penis. Men who smoke are more likely to experience ED, and quitting smoking can help to improve erectile function.
Drinking alcohol in moderation is generally safe, but excessive alcohol consumption can contribute to ED. Alcohol can interfere with the nerve signals that are necessary for achieving an erection.
Stress can contribute to a range of health problems, including ED. Finding healthy ways to manage stress, such as through exercise, meditation, or counseling, can help to prevent ED.
Sleep plays an important role in overall health, including sexual function. Men who are not getting enough sleep may be more likely to experience ED, and improving sleep habits can help to improve erectile function.
Obesity is a risk factor for ED, as it can contribute to cardiovascular problems that can impact blood flow. Maintaining a healthy weight through diet and exercise can help to prevent ED.
In addition to these lifestyle factors, it is important for men to undergo regular health screenings to monitor for medical conditions that can contribute to ED, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.
Therefore, lifestyle factors can have an important impact on ED prevention and treatment. A healthy diet, regular exercise, quitting smoking, limiting alcohol consumption, managing stress, getting enough sleep, and maintaining a healthy weight can all help to prevent ED. In addition, regular health screenings can help to identify and treat medical conditions that can contribute to ED. | <urn:uuid:31f4ee9b-41f0-46b5-8284-82693d183ddf> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://picdove.net/the-role-of-lifestyle-factors-in-erectile-dysfunction-prevention-and-treatment/ | 2023-09-27T12:33:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.943886 | 508 |
Maximize Your Content and Its Effect on LinkedIn
For a long time, LinkedIn was thought of as a relatively dead social media network that was for stuffy professionals. As time wore on, however, the network seemingly came to life and is now one of the most active social media networks in the world. While many use it extensively as a platform for potential hiring and employment decisions, the possibilities that LinkedIn presents to its users are truly multi-faceted in nature. Many people produce content for the social media network as a way to elevate their own profiles and that of their brands. Below, you’ll find some tips on how to maximize its effect on the professional social media network.
Have a Plan
When it comes to publishing content on LinkedIn, keep in mind the nature of the audience. Business professionals and industry leaders expect reliability in their day-to-day work lives; they will likely expect the same from you. As such, it is a good idea to have a content calendar around which you plan periodic updates. You do not have to post updates every day, but having a regular schedule – perhaps weekly – in which you are pinging servers with a new article or piece of analysis is ideal. This will ensure that more people check back with you on a regular basis for new ideas. When people know that you’ll be providing insight every Friday, for instance, more of them will check in to see what you have to say.
Don’t Be Afraid to Advertise
While organic growth on LinkedIn is certainly valuable – perhaps more valuable than on other social media networks – you should be willing to embrace paid forms of outreach as well to get your message out there. Sponsored updates are a great way to ensure that your content reaches as many people as possible in a short period of time, so any time-sensitive pieces of content you provide may be better served by using this option. Other forms of advertising that are less prime exist on the network, but LinkedIn has a rather sophisticated set of targeting algorithms that help maximize who sees your ads in any situation.
Use Proper Formatting
LinkedIn is a network of professionals and one of traditional social media users. Because of this, you want to ensure that your content is properly formatted and appealing to all who see it. You can achieve this effect by being sure to include a brief description – at least 20 words – with every post you make and link that is shared. In addition, be sure to include images to maximize the post’s reach and appeal, and when possible, link to your content off-site. This will ensure that you maximize the number of impressions and interactions you are capable of getting (shares and input on social media, and clicks and conversions on your website).
There are dozens of ways to get more out of your LinkedIn content experience, but start out with the advice given above if you are new to the game. By pinging servers with updates on a regular basis, advertising to boost relevant posts and using proper formatting to maximize its effect, more and more people will value and share your content. This will help lend credibility to you as a professional and a valuable industry contributor, opening up new possibilities for you on the network. | <urn:uuid:99401a56-79ff-4a5e-8086-db632ed3d553> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://pingler.com/blog/maximize-your-content-and-its-effect-on-linkedin/ | 2023-09-27T12:08:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.960425 | 656 |

Q. What a charge you put on today only to come up second. What more did you need?
CHASE ELLIOTT: Just to be a little better through the back half over there and get off of 14 a little better just to have myself in a better spot getting into 1.
Just really appreciate the effort, man. Our Napa Chevy was really good, really good.
Just needed just a little bit more and came up a bit short. But congrats to Michael, man. He did a good job. Ran a great race and stayed mistake free, and that’s what you’ve got to do to win.
Q. What’s that like chasing him down like that knowing one mistake and you can have it?
CHASE ELLIOTT: Yeah, I lost too much ground under that pit cycle and was trying to pace myself for the long haul. It kind of had that green flag feel. I thought I did that, just needed to do a better job getting through traffic there.
Q. How about Chase the driver, 77 laps under green. Haven’t seen that here. What was that like?
CHASE ELLIOTT: It was great. Feel good. Ready to go for 77 more.

● The NASCAR Playoffs begin Sunday with the Cook Out Southern 500 at Darlington (S.C.) Raceway, and for the 17th time since the advent of the playoffs in 2004, Harvick is a part of it. Harvick qualified for this year’s playoffs on points, as he had an insurmountable 135-point margin over the playoff cutline ahead of the regular-season finale last Saturday night at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway. In his 10-year tenure at Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR), Harvick won the championship in 2014, scored a runner-up finish in the 2015 standings, earned third-place efforts in 2017, 2018 and 2019, and won the regular-season title in 2020.
● Darlington is one of the 10 tracks that make up the NASCAR Playoffs, and of Harvick’s 60 career NASCAR Cup Series victories, 26 have come at playoff tracks. Three of those wins have been at Darlington, while Harvick also has three wins apiece at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway and Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth. He has two wins at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and one win each at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway, Homestead-Miami Speedway and Martinsville (Va.) Speedway. The remaining nine wins were earned at the most valuable playoff venue – Phoenix Raceway, home to the championship-deciding race. The only track where Harvick doesn’t have a win is the Charlotte (N.C.) Motor Speedway Roval.
● Darlington is known as “The Track Too Tough To Tame,” but Harvick has tamed the venerable 1.366-mile oval three times, the second-most of any active NASCAR Cup Series driver. The 47-year-old racer from Bakersfield, California, owns two Southern 500 victories (2014 and 2020) and one win in the track’s 400-mile race.
● For a decade, Harvick has been a model of front-running consistency at Darlington. In the last 15 races at the track, he has finished among the top-five 12 times and outside of the top-10 only once. And in his last Darlington start in May, Harvick finished second. It was his eighth top-three finish at Darlington and his best result so far this season.
● The 2023 season marks Darlington’s 73rd anniversary, with the egg-shaped oval having hosted 124 NASCAR Cup Series races. The first came on Sept. 4, 1950, and it was the first 500-mile race in NASCAR history and the first on asphalt. Johnny Mantz drove his Plymouth to the win with an average speed of 75.250 mph and the race took 6 hours, 38 minutes and 40 seconds to complete. Juxtapose that with Harvick’s win in the 2020 Southern 500. His Ford Mustang logged an average speed of 132.256 mph and the race finished in 3 hours, 47 minutes and 26 seconds.
● COVID-19 stopped racing in its tracks in 2020. After the checkered flag dropped March 8 at Phoenix Raceway, NASCAR went on a 10-week hiatus as the world grappled with the scale of a pandemic not seen since the Spanish Flu of 1918-1919. NASCAR had to navigate a brave new world, and the sport was one of the first to return to action when racing resumed May 17 at Darlington. It was a welcome surprise, as one version of NASCAR’s hypothetical return featured a start date of Oct. 25 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway with a stretch of 30 races in 64 days that would wrap with three straight races at Phoenix… on Jan. 1-3 of 2021. In a time of great uncertainty, seeing sports’ return with NASCAR pacing the field proved both prideful and poignant. Harvick never let off the gas even as the season ground to a halt. He focused on all the little details that go into wheeling a 3,400-pound racecar around tracks faster than 39 of his competitors. The result? After finishing second March 8 at Phoenix, Harvick one-upped that result by winning in NASCAR’s return to racing May 17 at Darlington.
● That win on May 17, 2020, at Darlington was Harvick’s milestone 50th career NASCAR Cup Series victory. Harvick led 159 of the race’s 293 laps to secure his 11th straight season as a Cup Series winner. His career win total now stands at 60, which puts him 10th on the Cup Series’ all-time win list.
● Among active NASCAR Cup Series drivers, Harvick leads the following categories at Darlington:
● Most starts: 31 (next best is Kyle Busch with 23)
● Most top-fives: 14 (next best is Denny Hamlin with 12)
● Most top-10s: 19 (next best is Hamlin with 16)
● Most laps led: 818 (next best is Hamlin with 801)
● Most laps completed: 10,232 (next best is Hamlin with 7,620)
● Note: Hamlin leads the series in wins at Darlington with four, while Harvick stands alone with three wins.
● Who are the all-time leaders at Darlington? Check out these eye-popping statistics:
● Most starts: 65 by Richard Petty
● Most wins: 10 by David Pearson
● Most top-fives: 25 by Petty
● Most top-10s: 34 by Petty
● Most laps led: 2,391 by Petty
● Most laps completed: 17,120 by Petty
● Note: The 17,120 laps completed by Petty translates to 23,434.11 miles, almost equal to the equatorial circumference of the Earth (24,901 miles).
● Harvick has proven immensely consistent at Darlington outside of the NASCAR Cup Series. He has made 16 NASCAR Xfinity Series starts at Darlington, finishing among the top-10 nine times with a best result of third in September 2017. Harvick has also made two NASCAR Truck Series starts at Darlington with a best result of fourth in March 2002.
● Mobil 1 has partnered with Take 5 Oil Change®, the quick-lube service that features a unique drive-thru concept that allows customers to never leave the comfort of their car. Mobil 1 is coming soon to Take 5 locations nationwide, and the expanded availability of Mobil 1’s range of products is being highlighted on Harvick’s No. 4 Mobil 1/Take 5 Ford Mustang during the Cook Out Southern 500 at Darlington.
● The Mobil 1 branding on Harvick’s No. 4 Ford Mustang goes more than skin deep as the world’s leading synthetic motor oil brand gives Harvick an added advantage. Mobil 1 products are used throughout his racecar and they extend beyond just engine oil. Power steering fluid, transmission fluid, gear oil and driveline lubricants from Mobil 1 give Harvick a technical advantage over his counterparts by reducing friction, heat and rolling resistance. Mobil 1 is a sponsor whose technology makes Harvick’s No. 4 Mobil 1 Ford Mustang faster.
Ten races in the playoffs. Ten races left in your final season as a NASCAR Cup Series driver. What’s important at this stage in your career compared to when you first came into the Cup Series more than 20 years ago?
“I worry less about what I want to accomplish and just try to accomplish what I need to accomplish, and that is to engage with my team on a week-to-week basis to get the most out of our cars, and the responsibility that comes with being prepared and being a part of that process on a week-to-week basis. You want to do everything you can to try and take as much as you can out of every single week that you’re at the racetrack because, eventually, there won’t be a next week. It’ll be what you used to do, and you want to give it your all while you can.”
How do you balance the sentiment of these send-offs you’re getting at these tracks while still pursuing a championship?
“For me, when you look around and you see the 4EVER signs and you see the different things that each particular racetrack has done, you listen to the fans and you really get a great idea of just how important coming back and doing this last year and putting the 4EVER logo around it and going to each track and letting them do what they want to do and be a part of it all – that’s important. I may have thought it was silly when we started, and I think as you look back at it and I listened to those conversations with our group at SHR and the way that Tony Stewart did his and the way that he thought he should have done some things, those things are fun. It’s been fun, just because of the fact I don’t have to worry about what people think. You could just listen and realize that you’ve had a great impact on the sport and the fans appreciate the effort and the things that have gone into it, whether it be driving or off the track or showing the emotion of being mad or whatever the instance is – to hear all those stories and let people tell you about all those different situations and see the different pictures and things at the racetrack from all the success at certain tracks. For me, that’s not something I would ever do because I look at it as bragging, but at this particular point, it is what it is, right? It’s success at different places – we’ve been very fortunate to be successful and win races and have an impact. Being able to wrap my arms around all that and say, ‘OK, I’m good with this. Let’s enjoy it.’ It’s been enjoyable just because of the fact that some of the things and pictures and different things that I’ve seen, I forgot that we actually did – different moments or stuff that fans bring up or whatever the instance is, it’s been fun to be a part of it all and go back and think about all those things that were a part of that particular moment, so it’s been good. Marcus Smith (president and CEO of Speedway Motorsports) was a huge part of saying, ‘You’ve got to come back and do this this way for the tracks and for the fans and for the sport.’ I was like, ‘Oh, man. I don’t know.’ Now that we’ve gone through this part of the season and been through all the things that we’ve been through, it’s been a lot of fun to go back and reflect on so many things.”
This is your 17th year in the NASCAR Playoffs and it’s your 14th straight season of being a part of the playoffs. Do you have to find another gear to perform in the playoffs?
“When the Jimmie Johnson and Chad Knaus era was in full swing and they were both still together back in 2015, we had to make some decisions on how we wanted to race. We wanted to race like them, and that was championship mode every week so that you didn’t have to figure out how to do something different when you got to the playoffs and try to put on this new face or this new mindset, or we’re going to do this differently or that differently. You’ve got to have that figured out before you get there and rely on the ability of things that you’ve done in the past to just continue to be able to do that going forward, and hopefully the cars are better and you can rely on that extra speed as you go into the playoffs. We try to do the same things week after week. Rodney (Childers, crew chief) doesn’t have a demeanor change whether the sky is falling or if it’s cold or hot outside or fast or slow, he’s pretty much the same guy. That helps us all because he’s so even-keeled about everything that he does.”
The NASCAR Cup Series championship is decided in a 10-race elimination format where, in the season finale, four drivers compete in a winner-take-all title match. What are your thoughts on the way the championship is decided?
“Well, you don’t win them like Earnhardt did. I think as you look at what we do, it’s different. We’re definitely in the entertainment business to make things exciting, and as you look at the last race, there’s a lot that goes into it, but it definitely doesn’t reflect the whole year. I think our years are definitely proof of that just because of the fact in ’14 we won the right race. In ’15, we didn’t win the right race. In ’20, we didn’t win the right race. I guess as long as you’re in it enough, it cycles out and circles back, so I could see it both ways. I’m going to sit on the other side of the fence and want it exciting, but I think from a competitor’s standpoint – and I’ve raced it both ways – I think it’s a long season and there’s a lot to it to come down to one race.”
Do you like Darlington serving as the opening race of the 10-race playoffs?
“Well, Darlington just screams NASCAR. From a competitor’s standpoint, when you drive through the tunnel and you look at that racetrack, it looks the same as it did in 1960. From my standpoint, being able to race at a racetrack like that, whatever generation car I’m in, you can relate back to how it started. Darlington is narrow, it’s unique, and it’s just Darlington. You pull in the tunnel and you see the blue tarps and the tents and the people just hanging out in the infield – it’s just a great place to race and forever a part of NASCAR history that I will always enjoy.”
What stands out for you the most at Darlington?
“I know the characteristics of the racetrack, as far as having to respect it and racing the track. I know what that means, and I’ve definitely been in the wrong position and got carried away and had it bite me before. But it’s a place that I look forward to going to. It’s a place where I enjoy racing and love the challenges that go with it. I think over the last several years we’ve been fortunate to have some success there, and the expectation is to go there and have a chance to race up front and put yourself in contention. So that’ll be the expectation as we go back this time and, hopefully, we can do that and have some fun.”
Five hundred miles at Darlington, during the heat and humidity of Labor Day weekend, makes for a very demanding race. How do you approach it?
“No matter how hot it is, it’s just a mentally taxing race. It’s just you against the track and being able to have that mindset and know that every lap you have to be up on top of the wheel in order to keep yourself from rubbing up against the wall or doing something that’s detrimental to your car, but also pushing the car hard enough and keeping up with the tire fall-off and understanding all the things that are going on. There are just a lot of moving pieces at Darlington, but it’s really taxing, mentally.”
What skillsets are rewarded at Darlington?
“Darlington favors the guy who can be very disciplined and is able to push the car right to 99.9 percent of where that tire run is, and be able to put the car up against the wall and not overstep those boundaries. You have to be very disciplined there to get everything out of the car and keep up with the tire fall-off and not tear anything up – on your own, let alone being around everybody else.”
Is competing at Darlington about racing the track and your competitors, or is it more about managing your tires?
“You’ve got to know when to let somebody go, because you can make it a lot harder on somebody to pass than what it used to be with the things that go on aerodynamically with this particular car. The biggest thing that you have to do is get the restarts right and get yourself really singled out, and once you get singled out, then you can start making some different decisions on when to let somebody go, when to not let somebody go, how hard to fight somebody, and things like that. It just takes one moment there to slip up and the right-rear toe link will be knocked off the car. You can rub the car up against the wall, but if you clip that right-rear tire wrong, it’s going to be the end of your night.”
Running that line up against the wall is not the line you typically run. The “Kevin Harvick Line” is along the bottom. Which line is most advantageous, and when?
“With this particular car, you’ve just got to be careful with how much you abuse the tires because it drives off the right-rear tire so much that you have to think about that a little bit differently. It didn’t seem like that was 100 percent the preferred way to do it through (turns) three and four the last time. You’ve just got to be as easy as possible on the right-rear tire.”
How do you maximize your results every week to where you get the most out of your car, no matter what circumstances you’re facing?
“You have to keep the car rolling, and you have to be able to just grind away and make your car better throughout the day and stay in the game and be able to reset as a group to hope that every time you pit, and when things aren’t going right that the car is going to get better. I tell a lot of our young drivers this: They say, ‘Well, my car’s not good,’ and I’ll say, ‘Well, why? You’re a big part of that process.’ The driver is a big part of the process that really helps keep everything under control as far as the direction of the car. Is it tight for aero reasons, mechanical reasons and understanding how to push things forward to do that? For us, we just grind away and keep ourselves in contention and do as many little things right as possible, and I think that feedback between the driver and crew chief goes right back to that same conversation of making yourself useful as an asset inside the car to be able to give the information of what’s wrong with the car. Grinding away and just always believing that it’s going to get better after this adjustment and resetting and going again, that’s what you’ve got to do.” | <urn:uuid:6771610a-fc4b-4356-8cc3-e4007150b6d5> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://pitstopradio.net/2023/08/29/mobil-1-take-5-racing-kevin-harvick-darlington-advance/ | 2023-09-27T13:04:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.967321 | 4,094 |
The London Science Museum’s image and logo design has long since needed rebranding. Their old logo design (pictured below) was tired, dated and old. It was neither creative nor stunning and when printed on posters, it was quickly lost amidst the sea of posters that regularly litter London's streets. Quite aware of this need to rebrand themselves, near the end of 2009, the London Science Museum decided to team up with the popular London-based studio, Johnson Banks, to rework their brand image, identity and logo design.
Old logo design
The Johnson Banks studio was faced with quite a challenge. They were responsible for the major redesign and rebranding of a predominant and influential London institution. Luckily, they had been given specific directives to follow. The London Science Museum wanted a new logo design that appealed to a larger audience, both adults and children alike. In the past, the Museum had struggled with issues of recognition therefore, they wanted their new logo design to be unique, modern and creative so that it would help the museum stick out amongst all of the other museums in London.
Johnson Bank's creative director, Michael Johnson, said in an interview with the Creative Review that "the museum briefed us to search for a more sophisticated visual identity, to avoid the usual science clichés of test tubes and mad, white-lab-coated professors, whilst supplying more cut-though".
Last month, Johnson Banks and the London Science Museum finally released their new logo design. Here is what they came up with:
This new logo design for the London Science Museum is typography-based and it grew out of the simple concept that science is a field of study whereby discovery and decoding are commonplace. In that same vein, the new London Science Museum logo design also needs to be decoded by every viewer and every person may experience something different when reading the letters in their new logo design.
Along with the release of the new logo design, all of the banners outside the museum have also been replaced with new images that highlight their new logo design. The museum’s new branding will soon run throughout the entire museum and be printed on all of their promotional materials including their brochures, business cards and stationery design.
Here are some of the banners that are now seen outside of the museum itself:
The release of the museum's new logo design was met with both enthusiasm and adversity throughout the entire graphic design community. Some called the new logo design “strong, memorable and versatile” while others said that it was “horribly dated already”.
What do you think of this logo redesign?
I, for one, think that this new logo design is a vast improvement over their old logo design. I think that it is well considered and that it adheres to all of the desires that were set forth by the museum committee. I think that it is attractive, vibrant, distinctive and easily recognizable. I do however, have one complaint. I don't like the fact that their new logo design is so type dependent. Perhaps, they could have come up with something better if they had pursued another avenue. For example, something simpler might have been better or even the use of an symbol in their logo design. Regardless, I am quite anxious to see how their new image and logo design is develops and is promoted in the coming months and years. | <urn:uuid:7b3cf072-5a65-451b-80c3-fc64ea9ef673> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://pixellogo.com/blogs/pixellogo-blog-1/the-london-science-museum-launches-its-new-image-and-logo-design | 2023-09-27T13:01:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.974798 | 683 |
The U.S. racked up 11 mass shootings this past weekend with eight people killed and 45 wounded. Nine kids were injured: a four-year-old, a six-year-old; an eight-year-old; an 11-year-old; two 12-year-olds; two 14-year-olds; and a 15-year-old.
These shootings are recorded at Gun Violence Archive. A mass shooting is one that involves at least four people shot, not including the shooter, in a fluid situation.
All the shootings took place at night, usually after midnight. Most of the crimes were committed at parties or clubs (no idea why young kids would be at a block party after midnight, but it happens). One was at a liquor store and one was a drive-by shooting in a mobile home park.
The worst shooting was in Yemassee, S.C., where eight were shot and one died. A fight started outside a convenience store at around 12:15 a.m. Twenty shots were fired and eight people were hit. The injured include an eight-year-old, two 12-year-olds, and two 14-year-olds. It’s odd that so many children were injured in one shooting. Fortunately, all the kids survived.
“Surely, surely… I could never think that a shooter intended on shooting an 8-year-old and 12 -year-old,” stated Yemassee Police Chief Gregory Alexander. “When you start shooting that gun, you have no direction over where that bullet’s going at so that’s why you need not to do it.”
Arrests were made at only three of the 11 shootings. Fours suspects were arrested in total, two for the “Sumyungho” shooting in Augusta on Sept. 17, one in the Dallas nightclub shooting, and one in the Miami house party shooting, both on Sept. 19. No suspect descriptions were released in any of the other shootings.
Last year we had a record-setting 611 mass shootings. We are currently at 510 for 2021. | <urn:uuid:787bc6fc-8d9f-46c0-bed1-3115d3637530> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/kevindowneyjr/2021/09/20/your-weekend-mass-shooting-round-up-n1480188 | 2023-09-27T12:55:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.992794 | 445 |
May18 Fun Holiday – No Dirty Dishes Day
May 18 is No Dirty Dishes Day, a day you could celebrate by either not washing any dirty dishes or by washing all the dishes you can!
Dirty dishes, they are part of life. A lot of time, money and energy is spent every day on washing and drying dishes and putting them away. This unofficial holiday with unknown origins encourages people to take a break from doing the dishes for the day and spend the time saved doing things for fun.
How to Celebrate?
- Wash all your dishes so that your sink and kitchen is all clean and sparkly.
- Or, don't wash any and pile them up. But remember, you will have to clean them sometime soon, even if you take a break today.
- Or use disposable dinnerware. Just remember to make sure they are environmental friendly.
- Make No Dirty Dishes Day even more fun by eating all your meals out - make dirty dishes someone else's problem for this one day!
- Hate doing the dishes day in and day out? Use this day to draw up a schedule and a plan for cleaning dishes every time you use them. That way, you'll never be stuck with a sink full of dirty dishes!
- If you don't own a dishwasher, maybe today is the day to get one installed. Make sure you get an energy efficient washer and that you use environmentally friendly detergent.
Did You Know…
...that the first iterations of dish washing machines were all hand operated?

DirecTV — Eden Prairie, MN
Colorado-based DirecTV engaged PlanForce to design its call center location in Minnesota. Our work was to design the office utilizing DirecTV’s branded finishes and materials into the new call center.
The DirecTV environment consisted of 80-90 call stations, private offices, conference rooms, and a reception room. A neutral palette of colors is accentuated by bright bursts of color to liven up the office environment.
Designed for Fun
We were also given the opportunity to design a break room for the employees called “The Fun Room”. Our design solution was to bring in color and shape in the ceiling using bright colors from the furnishings that were continued in this space from other areas in the scope of the design. The end result is a room that is perky, bright, and offers a refreshing change of environment. | <urn:uuid:62b36e7e-cd74-4fb1-aa5a-8a036c084869> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://planforcegroup.com/projects/directv | 2023-09-27T11:54:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.9604 | 191 |

Many community leaders at schools, parks departments, child care centers, and other agencies often wonder if they should rally resources for new or improved playground areas. Of course their concern is for students or young people who need a safe and healthy place to play and learn that offers challenges but with risks well under control. It would seem that this type of decision is easy. However, with so many fiscal, political, space, and safety pressures, the local leader may need additional ways to help thinking through this process. The playground feasibility process may help.
The playground feasibility process is clear, straight forward, and easy to prepare but at the same time requires the local leader to consider several key areas in their decision making process. There are six components:
1. Legal feasibility: This process requires the local leader to determine if the land site ownership is in place and that all liens, easements, and right-of-ways are cleared for the proposed playground project. If the playground area is at a school site, then this is an easy step for the school official; this would also be true for a park official if the land site is within a park area. However, there are times and places (particularly with private companies or nonprofits) where this extra step needs to be taken. Close review of ownership maps is the easiest way to answer this set of important questions.
2. Site feasibility: This element determines if the surface, sub surface, drainage, vegetation, wildlife, supervision lines of site, and weather patterns of the site are appropriate for the proposed project. Again, some of these considerations will appear to be of little concern, but depending on the location, the local official might have a surprise. It is certainly better to have these items reviewed early on rather than at construction time. This may be of little concern within an existing school area or park, but there might be better locations within those areas for the playground because of these concerns.
3. Use feasibility: An analysis should be made of the intended population of users to determine whether there is a long term need for such a proposed action. In other words, do you need a playground? Also within this consideration would be the maximum number of users on the equipment at one time to ensure safety. Of course, there are standards for capacity of use, and this information is an important guiding principle based on type of equipment, age appropriateness, fitness and mental challenge goals, and type of play activity.
4. Design feasibility: When the local official is searching for the right equipment, playground vendors are extremely helpful in providing design layouts, space requirements, entrance and exit points, and playground configurations. This is important so that the decision maker can envision the finished project. But this also answers another important question: will the completed playground achieve the vision of the decision makers, users, and others that work to make the project all that was hoped for?
5. Financial feasibility: For many, this is the key question...can we afford the equipment/surfacing, its installation, and long term care? It is important to have accurate cost figures for the purchase of the correct equipment and surfacing. But it is also necessary to not forget installation costs, initial and continuous safety audits/inspections, and also the long term care and maintenance of the finished playground. On occasion, community decision makers will become very excited at meeting immediate needs and forget about these long term cost issues. This part of the feasibility study will help solve that issue.
6. Administrative feasibility: This last process investigates the policies and practical management activities that must be in place for the completed project’s long term success. Such considerations as repair cycles, maintenance plans, hours of operation, enclosure gates, signage, supervision plans, life cycle, and any other issues that should be considered so that the project is not just built and then left to the elements. Contact with other agencies, playground vendors, designers, and safety inspectors is helpful at this point. They will be able to draw from their vast experience and share insights.
In the ideal circumstance, all six feasibility factors check off in the positive. But what if one or more of the items are a concern? Well, this is the reason for performing this task, to make sure that the project meets all elements so it will be a success. However, it is possible to move forward with some concerns. There are certainly some factors that cannot be ignored such as land ownership. However, even that might be mediated by a land lease agreement. What is important here is that the local decision maker has taken all of these factors into consideration and noted where some adjustments must be made, or to decide that the project needs further consideration.
Playgrounds are designed and intended for many generations of use. Therefore, a serious feasibility study is an important step to ensure project success.

Kiefer Sutherland has had a remarkable career in film and television that has lasted over 30 years. From the coming of age drama Stand by Me to his role as Jack Bauer in 24, which Sutherland may not be quite done with, the actor has played many memorable roles that have become part of popular culture at large. But the actor also thinks he may have accidentally been a style icon as well, though not a very good one. It seems Sutherland’s character in The Lost Boys may have greatly helped to popularize the mullet.
Speaking with GQ, Kiefer Sutherland recently recounted several of his most popular roles and when discussing the character of David, the vampire he played in The Lost Boys, the actor states that he ended up with the “business up front, party in the back” haircut because he was trying to emulate his own rock ‘n’ roll idol, while also staying true to instructions he received from director Joel Schumacher. Sutherland explained…
Having now read this description, you can certainly see it when you look at David in The Lost Boys. He’s got the short spikey white hair of Billy Idol down perfectly. While the “White Wedding” singer has appeared in films, he could have been a star in his own right on screen, as Idol was supposed to co-star in Terminator 2 once upon a time. Then you add the long hair in the back that the director really wanted. If Kiefer Sutherland had kept his hair completely long he still would have looked like an ‘80s rocker, but a completely different sort.
The mullet as a hairstyle certainly predated The Lost Boys, but the style’s height of popularity was, without question, the 1980s. And so it’s certainly possible that Kiefer Sutherland’s appearance in The Lost Boys was part of what brought about that popularity. A young Jeremy Renner sported a mullet back in the day and so did a lot of others. While the mullet is derided now, David in The Lost Boys is sort of the epitome of cool for the era. It’s not hard to imagine people wanting to emulate the characters look and then going and getting the haircut to match.
It’s actually funny to hear Kiefer Sutherland say that he changed his hair because he thought he looked like a “bad wrestler” considering how popular the mullet would become among wrestlers for a long time. Perhaps that’s because of what happened here and the massive unintentional influence of The Lost Boys. Will we see something similar happen if The Lost Boys gets remade? | <urn:uuid:8aff221e-d0d7-4ecd-87b2-961bf7b29065> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://playtv365.com/kiefer-sutherland-shares-hilarious-story-behind-his-lost-boys-haircut-and-how-hes-at-least-partially-to-blame-for-the-mullet-movement/ | 2023-09-27T13:04:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.98298 | 549 |
2023 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Track Editions – Cadillac V series team released some photos of their 2023 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Track editions. Being previewed at Watkins Glen during the Six Hours of the Glen IMSA’s Sahlen weekend, it can be seen that Cadillac seems to have something extra for this sports sedan. On the following page, let’s look at what this latest Blackwing Track edition offers.
2023 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Track Editions Specs
Words on the street say that the latest version of CT4-V Blackwing Track editions is inspired by the success of #CadillacRacing at IMSA. In some videos shared on Instagram by the automaker, it can be seen that these track editions come with a unique splitter where the IMSA logo is placed. Not only that, but the audience can also see a slew of visual upgrades displayed by these track editions. These include contrasting colour mirrors, painted brakes, ducktail spoilers, track map decals, and more. Generally speaking, the CT4-V Blackwing 2023 is the hardcore version of an M2 CS. That makes the expert even verdict that CT4-V Blackwing 2023 is a true legend regarding small sports sedans.
Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Track Editions 2023’s Exterior and Interior
The newest Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Track Editions 2023 come with a sleek design. Aside from the black and blue example, these track editions also come with other colour options like matte-grey and white-and-red. On the front part of CT4-V Blackwing, there is a front splitter. The look is also completed with IMSA branding and a carbon-fibre finish.
Highlighted Features of Cadillac CT4-V 2023 Blackwing Track Editions
As of now, the only thing that people can be sure about 2023 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Track editions are the visual changes, while the rest will be revealed when the cars make full debuts. In this way, there is no reliable information on whether this later version of Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing will be powered by an upgraded twin-turbo 3.6-litre V-6 engine.
If Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing uses the same engine, the car will generate power of as much as 472 hp (352 kilowatts) and 445 lb-ft of torque (602 newton-meter), which makes it pretty standard. It is also unknown whether the track editions will be available with 10-speed automatic or 6-speed manual transmission driving the rear wheels. However, a limited-slip differential aids traction you can find at the back of these track editions. There is also an auto gearbox added to the cars.

In UMMA, a Korean-American woman living on an isolated farm with her teenage daughter has her world turned upside down when the ashes of her abusive mother are delivered for her to bury. The longer she resists giving her Umma her final respects, the angrier Umma's spirit becomes.
At first glance, UMMA is a straightforward ghost/possession story that plays with the universal fear of becoming one's parents.
But lurking underneath is a complex spiderweb of generational trauma, the cycle of abuse and the uniquely Korean cultural syndrome known as Hwa-Byung.
To help me navigate these dark and dangerous waters, I am delighted to have two very special guests: author and actor RORY KELSCH ("I Am Strength: Tales of Everyday Superwomen") and actor, singer and activist ERIN QUILL ("Avenue Q", "The Mikado Project).

You Bet Your Sweet Dupa Coffee Mug
I saw this, and I knew that I immediately had to buy 3 of the mugs for my brother-in-law and his brothers for Christmas as they always joked that at holiday meals, their dad preferred the turkey's "dupa" as it was the last over the fence. ;-) The mugs were really nice. My only reason for giving it 4 out of 5 stars was that I had ordered the 3 mugs at the same time and wanted them obviously to be the same. Unfortunately, 2 were white with black background behind the text and one was totally black with the text. Granted, they all got a big laugh and loved the mugs. ;-). The packing was incredible - never have to worry about them arriving broken!
Mike went out of his way to make sure that I received the matching all-black mug as I should have originally. Great customer service, and from Mike himself! Thanks SO much!

Having multiple wives may break your heart.
New research shows that polygamous men have a significantly higher risk of heart disease than those with a single partner.
The study, which was presented Wednesday at the Asian Pacific Society of Cardiology Congress, a meeting of cardiologists in Abu Dhabi, shows that men with more than one significant other had more than a four-fold higher risk of developing coronary artery disease, compared with their monogamous counterparts. This heart problem develops when cholesterol and/or inflammation blocks the supply of blood to the organ.
"We found an association between an increasing number of wives and the severity and number of coronary blockages,” said Dr. Amin Daoulah, with the King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, in a statement. “This could be because the need to provide and maintain separate households multiplies the financial burden and emotional expense. Each household must be treated fairly and equally, and it seems likely that the stress of doing that for several spouses and possibly several families of children is considerable."
Previous research has shown that long-term stress increases the risk of heart problems.
The study examined the medical histories of 687 men from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, one-third of which had more than one wife. Two of the men had four wives, the maximum seen in the sample, while most of these polygamists only had two.
“Men with multiple wives have to be well supported financially, and although Saudis and Emirati people are supported by their governments, polygamists may need more than one income,” Daoulah adds. “They may therefore take on extra employment or have the added pressure of traveling daily to urban areas for higher paid work," as polygamy is more common in rural areas, he said.
The study only shows a correlation and not causation, and differences in physical activity, genetic background and diet could help explain the link between polygamy and heart disease, he says. | <urn:uuid:c00b4439-498e-492f-8138-9eb5c0e9a9e7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://polygamy.com/articles/30373849/polygamy-increases-risk-of-heart-disease-study-says | 2023-09-27T12:24:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.971315 | 408 |

We crossed the Caribbean and landed in Fort Pierce, Florida, yesterday afternoon. Our U.S. team is back in the United States after two weeks in Haiti.
We thought we may need to leave early because of the unrest in Cap Haitien after President Jovenel’s funeral there. Mourners set up roadblocks, burned cars and fired guns. You all prayed, and we stayed in close touch with friends in Cap Haitien to get up-to-date information.
We decided to stay in Ouanaminthe one more day and drive up to Cap Haitien early Sunday morning before too many people were in the streets. Besides our driver picking us up late, we arrived in Cap with no problems. Praise the Lord!
We were able to lead our second training conference at Eglise Bethleem Baptiste (Bethlehem Baptist Church) with around 90 church leaders. They worked hard on Course 2 – Our Powerful Gospel, a study of Romans chapters 1-5. So many said they were so grateful that we had come to Haiti despite the recent problems of COVID-19 and especially their president’s assassination. They asked when we would offer the NEXT courses in Cap Haitien. A number of pastors from Gonaives – the city we had tried to go to last February – called Pastor Michel (a member of our coordination team) to ask him to remind us to come to Gonaives in February 2022. (That’s our plan, Lord willing.)
The doors are wide open to encourage, train and resource pastors in Haiti!!
I’m reading a book called The God Ask right now. On the flight back from Haiti yesterday, I read this passage that brought me to tears of joy. It reminded me again that PPI’s work in Haiti is about ALL of us partnering together to encourage brothers and sisters in Christ in places like Haiti – and strengthen the churches there. What a privilege!
I’m sure . . . you have no intention of showing up at the Revelation 7:9 throne all by your lonesome. Those you have led to Christ or discipled will be with you – along with those they have led to Christ and discipled. In addition, all those believers who have prayed for you and invested financially in you and your ministry will accompany you. [That’s all of you!] They will be with you around the throne, too. . . . It’s truly a team effort – a ministry partnership. (Steve Shadrach in The God Ask, page 41)
We live, we serve, we give, we risk for that day! More on the conferences to come, but for now THANK YOU FOR PARTNERING WITH US and enjoy the pictures. | <urn:uuid:b68487e0-ded2-4038-8a04-8481b3b7008b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://ppiministries.org/were-back/ | 2023-09-27T11:17:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.963113 | 569 |

Who is an estate legal professional? Nicely, an property attorney is someone who has the coaching and expertise to advise his shoppers about tips on how to handle their property affairs, and put these so as in case the shopper develop a mental sickness or dies. Hiring an estate planning legal professional is vital as a mistaken or overlooked word can change the whole which means of a will.

A second cause why it’s best to hire an legal professional is that buyers have nearly no negotiating energy. Some people think that as a result of they know the lemon legislation an automaker will treat them pretty. However as a result of customers cannot file a lawsuit and jeopardize an automakers popularity, automakers often find no reason to take shoppers significantly. As well as, automakers must pay cash to defend lawsuits, and the charges begin accruing from the second the lawsuit is filed. As a result of cash makes an automakers’ world go spherical, they will be a lot likelier to give you a refund than they are going to fight the lawsuit in court docket and end up refunding you anyway.

Slavery existed in many countries long before America was founded. By 1700, many Africans were being brought to the American colonies of slaves. Men, women, and children were brought against their will. They were often separated from their families when they were sold as slaves. Slavery created a challenge for a nation founded on individual freedoms and democratic believes. It was one of the major causes of the American Civil War. | <urn:uuid:06b5ea9e-d8c7-459d-a4e6-aa17bff19536> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://presidentseek.com/quiz/citizenship/what-group-of-people-was-taken-to-america-and-sold-as-slaves-5f94cf0147075 | 2023-09-27T12:04:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.996545 | 83 |
Recent studies show that engagement is higher with livestreams than with conventional video content. Their popularity makes sense: livestreams can make your audience feel as though they are genuinely present at your event. Seeing something in real time makes a massive difference for viewers’ experience.
School districts have learned a lot about livestreaming ever since the COVID-19 pandemic first shifted classes and events to a virtual format in 2020. Even this year, school districts still found it necessary to establish safety protocols for their graduation ceremonies and plan for a limited number of attendees.
So, what happens to the remaining school community who eagerly wishes to see their child walk across the stage to receive their diploma? Pandemic aside, what happens to parents who cannot make their student’s after-school games or activities? For these cases, we say hello to the world of livestreaming.
WHAT IS A LIVESTREAM?
A livestream is a way to broadcast live feeds via social media platforms. Worldwide, big brands and corporations frequently livestream their events, but local churches and schools are also joining the livestreaming world to make themselves accessible to their communities.
WHERE SHOULD YOU LIVESTREAM?
Most social media platforms now have a livestreaming feature, so we recommend you take note of which social media platform is most commonly used within your community. You should also record all livestreams and upload them to YouTube, where the streams can be viewed by those who did not watch live. Adding a livestreaming section to your website is also a great way to share your content with a larger audience, since you can reach people who don’t regularly use social media platforms.
PROMOTING YOUR LIVESTREAM
You need to treat your livestream like you do the actual event: promoting it is critical. Be sure to post frequently on social media to inform your community where and when they may view the event. To maximize viewership, plan for a reminder post to go out on social media 10 minutes before your event goes live.
To livestream successfully, you’ll need six key pieces of equipment:
1. Camera: A professional camera will provide a more polished stream than a smartphone. For larger events, we recommend using two cameras to capture different angles. Doing this will give your audience a better viewing experience.
2. Tripod: Having a steady camera is key to a successful livestream. A tripod will not only hold your camera still for an extended period of time but will also allow for smooth transitions whenever you’d like to give your viewers a different angle.
3. Microphones: One of the most important aspects of a livestream is good audio.Though viewers care about the visuals, they really what to hear what’s happening above all. Be sure to have mics ready for all those participating in your livestream.
Pro Tip: Always have extra batteries on hand.
4. Streaming destination: Decide which platform(s) you’ll be streaming to and be sure to set up the necessary login credentials and stream settings before the day of the event.
5. Video encoder: A video encoder gathers the image and sound from your live event and converts it into a livestream suitable for the final streaming destination. To do this, you can download streaming software onto your computer. However, computers have different processing power and may slow down or crash mid-event. The most reliable way to stream is by purchasing a hardware encoder like a YoloBox or the Pearl-2, which allows you to switch, stream, monitor, and record all at once.
6. Reliable internet: Without a good internet connection, there’s no livestream. Be sure to test that the internet uplink is not congested. To mitigate risks, we recommend using a hard-wired connection that allows internet access to pass directly to your encoder through an ethernet cable. Check that all cables are in good condition because any damage may affect your connection.
Streaming has become such a powerful tool that allows school districts to build a stronger sense of community. Busy parents appreciate being able to see their children’s sports games or dance recitals in real time. Livestreaming also helps highlight specific programs that competing school districts may not offer, all while developing a positive image around your school district.

JAMSHORO: Cloudburst hovered above Jamshoro on Friday as the city witnessed record downpour at 355mm.
Climate Change Minister Senator Sherry Rehman took to her Twitter to share the video, claiming that this was the heaviest ever rainfall recorded across Sindh in one day.
In a time-lapse video, which has now gone viral on social media, cloudburst appear drenching the city and setting a new record for heavy downpour in the span of 24 hours. The last heaviest rainfall recorded in Jamshoro within 24 hours was at 238mm on August 31, 2011.
“Today on 19 Aug 2022 we recorded the heaviest rainfall ever in one day all over Sindh,” she tweeted, crediting the Pakistan Metrological Department (PMD) for the video.
The minister deemed the cloudburst over Jamshoro “unprecedented” and mentioned how many areas witnessed non-stop rain for three days.
PMD predicts more rainfall
Earlier today, PMD predicted more rainfall across the country including warnings of flash flooding, particularly in Sindh and Balochistan, between August 19 and 24.
The Met department also advised authorities to remain alert in case of emergencies following the extreme weather.
On August 23 and 24, rainfall with wind and thundershowers is expected to drench Sindh, south Punjab, south and northeastern Balochistan.
PMD warned that urban flooding may affect Sukkur, Dadu, Larkana, Jacobabad, and Shaheed Benazirabad on August 19 and 20.
On the other hand, Karachi, Hyderabad, Thatta, Badin, Mirpurkhas, Shaheed Benazirabad, Dadu and Sukkur could also be impacted with urban flooding on August 23 and 24.
Met department shared that low pressure area over upper Sindh is likely to weaken during the next 12 hours, while another low pressure area is likely to approach Sindh from August 23.
“Due to this weather system, monsoon currents are penetrating in upper and southern parts of the country,” a press statement by Met read. | <urn:uuid:71242887-eb30-4648-a0e5-f622b7be0743> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://pressnewsagency.org/video-watch-cloudburst-over-jamshoro-as-sindh-receives-highest-ever-rainfall-in-24-hours/ | 2023-09-27T12:43:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.942659 | 445 |
Jeff Maurer’s Anna Rockets are quietly working their way through the Division III tourney bracket, lost in the profile of their more publicized Shelby County League rival, Fort Loramie. But don’t take them lightly.
Covington, OH – Anna coach Jeff Maurer really doesn’t care if his Rockets’ girls team gets slighted by the media or in the state rankings – if they get lost in the lustre of Shelby County League rival Fort Loramie.
Loramie, of course, is ranked #1 in Division IV – by a wide margin.
Anna…is not place to be found in the last week’s state-wide coaches’ Division III poll. Fine.
What Maurer does care about, of course, is that his team is still playing, three games deep now in the sectional and district round of the Division III tournament; and Monday night they took another step in justifying themselves with a tidy, impressive 49-30 win over Bruce Vanover’s 12-12 Miami East Vikings.
The Rockets had more size than East, and probably a better basketball pedigree, given the quality of their overall schedule. But East and Vanover, known for their competitive qualities, figured the Rockets out after spotting them a 21-point halftime lead. The Vikings would not go away over the final sixteen minutes, however, and made Anna play real basketball in the second half to maintain their advantage.
You don’t see much zone defense in girls basketball (or boys for that matter), and yet that’s what East has played for the better part of their season. Vanover and assistant coach Kevin Evans really believed it to be to their advantage against the taller Rockets, who rarely see anything but man-to-man defense.
However…the problem was that Maurer had Anna prepared – be patient, work for good shots, and hope you make a good percentage. They did exactly that, jumping out to a quick 17-8 first quarter lead; and then extended that lead by outscoring East 16-4 in the second quarter, going to the halftime locker room with a 33-12 lead.
Defensively, Anna played as in the manner of Fort Loramie – pressuring the ball, man-to-man, creating turnovers, and disrupting East’s ability to feed the post and get good looks inside. They were quicker, more excited, and frankly better than East, especially in the opening half.
“We made a lot of shots,” said Maurer. “I was really pleased with how we played in the first half. We did a lot of good things. We knew they’d come out in that zone they play and the girls did a great of job of ball reversal and getting some good looks. We got good shots and we were fortunate enough to knock them down. You look a lot better when you can make some shots.”
To his point, the Rockets shot 56% for the half, buoyed by three-point accuracy by Kayli Brewer (who hit a pair) and Kiplyn Rowland (who hit another).
But their point guard, a 5’6″ junior named Ella Doseck, made sure the wealth was spread around by game’s end. Brewer scored 6, Michaela Ambos and Breann Reaman scored 4 each, Rowland scored 6, center Lauren Barhorst scored a game-high 18, and Doseck finished the game with 11.
“Ella’s grown up so much this year,” said Maurer. “She’s started for us since she was a freshman, and now she understands that she needs to take control of the offense and do more. And to her credit this year, she has. She’s been a leader for us on both ends of the floor. She’s solid.”
But in the second half things changed.
“I told the girls in the locker room…all they’ve seen us play is zone, so let’s go man-to-man in the second half and see if it trips them up,” smiled Vanover, afterwards.
Unfortunately, East couldn’t make many shots in the second half, and 6’2″ Lauren Barhorst had a say in that, blocking two and altering a few more. But the Vikings did change the tempo of things and cut Anna’s scoring in half. For the final sixteen minutes the Rockets outscored East by just 2 points…18-16.
“We knew they were well-coached and they weren’t going to lay down,” said Maurer. “They came out in man and got after it a little more. Credit to them. They played hard and they cut into our lead.”
At one point East cut the deficit to twelve points, but still trailed by 37-23 at the end of the third quarter.
“I asked the girls how they were going to respond,” said Maurer. “And they were patient. They kept their composure and executed down the stretch.”
Vanover was pleased with the way his team adjusted in the second half, but 21 points was just too deep a hole from which to come back.
“We were able to come out in the second half and execute better, and we showed some basketball IQ,” smiled Vanover. “But it was a lot to overcome. They shot about 60% in the first half, but we didn’t quit. They battled and they bought in to the adjustments we made. We ran some different plays that we thought would work in the fourth quarter and they executed them to perfection. We have a lot to look forward to. We have everyone back next year, except one.”
Camryn Miller led the Vikings with 10 points. Paxton Hunley had 7, Cadence Gross had 6, Kayly Fetters had 5, and Megan McDowelll had 2 to account for the Vikings’ 30 points.
What Anna has to look forward to…is a date in the district final, knowing that each game they win makes them less and less anonymous.
“When we show up to play and we have things clicking I think we can play with most teams,” Maurer adds. “When we do we can be a really good basketball team. But at this point of the tournament, which other team comes from the other bracket (Arcanum or Carlisle)…it’s going to be a battle. When you play for a district title all the teams are going to be worthy. It’ll be a test, no doubt.”
Size, defense, shooting, quickness, and a understated point guard. Anna’s better than you know – the best 19-6 Division III team that a lot of people don’t know! | <urn:uuid:070eed8e-3e09-4272-b913-9ccfdb67d67c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://pressprosmagazine.com/2020/02/24/the-best-19-6-you-dont-know-anna-ousts-east/ | 2023-09-27T12:06:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.980588 | 1,461 |

Kernel Recursive ABC: Point Estimation with Intractable Likelihood
Proceedings of the 35th International Conference on Machine Learning, PMLR 80:2400-2409, 2018.
We propose a novel approach to parameter estimation for simulator-based statistical models with intractable likelihood. Our proposed method involves recursive application of kernel ABC and kernel herding to the same observed data. We provide a theoretical explanation regarding why the approach works, showing (for the population setting) that, under a certain assumption, point estimates obtained with this method converge to the true parameter, as recursion proceeds. We have conducted a variety of numerical experiments, including parameter estimation for a real-world pedestrian flow simulator, and show that in most cases our method outperforms existing approaches. | <urn:uuid:0a4ce78b-d025-447d-8c6e-6857651d1069> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://proceedings.mlr.press/v80/kajihara18a.html | 2023-09-27T12:44:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.854928 | 163 |
I like to do research on Math and Science based concepts as they interest me a lot. After I grow up, I want to become a Mechanical Engineer. The reason behind this is that machines have always fascinated me. So I want to grow up and make a machine myself. I also have a broad notion about my future. It is going to be a‘Water Maker’. It basically stops water crisis from arising.
My one year experience in ALC was splendid. I thoroughly enjoyed every single class I attended. I have gained loads of information which we normally do not get in this year of school, like genetics, economics, calculus etc. I could also relate to the concepts in school with the snap of my finger all because of ALC. All in all, ALC is resplendent and has helped me a lot.My latest awards and achievements include ASSET Talent Search Bronze Scholar, Grade level champion of solving a Rubik’s cube. | <urn:uuid:eea7b9ce-b7ec-4214-b45c-4de6d96ad8ef> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://prodigy.net.in/student_profile_detail/60 | 2023-09-27T10:47:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.979151 | 197 |

As the world grapples with the COVID-19 pandemic, being well informed has perhaps never been more important. For health-care professionals in particular, keeping pace with information related to COVID-19, which can change rapidly, is critical in helping them best serve their patients.
To support Canadian transfusion medicine health-care professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve created a repository of on the Canadian Blood Services’ . You’ll find resources on blood product conservation practices during COVID-19, information about the treatment of COVID-19 patients with intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) and convalescent plasma, and much more.
Earlier in the pandemic, health-care workers who handle fresh blood components from Canadian Blood Services (i.e., red blood cells, platelets, plasma) were in touch with questions about whether accidental exposure to these products puts them at risk for COVID-19. In response, we published for health professionals working with blood products during the pandemic. This FAQ summarizes the evidence-to-date, which continues to support the view that there is no risk of SARS-CoV-2 virus transmission by handling blood or blood products. Indeed, the scientific evidence gathered so far supports the view that the SARS-CoV-2 virus, like other respiratory viruses, is not transfusion-transmitted. The FAQ also provides guidance on how shipping containers and blood bags can be cleaned as well as links to related guidance documents.
We encourage health-care professionals to check out these resources and share them with colleagues. Keep checking back – the will be updated regularly as new information is available. And please, if there are resources you think might be worth sharing on the Professional Education site, let us know by e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.org.

Given the limited scope of set up and speed of material removal, centerless grinding is an efficient alternative to precision turning processes for external cylindrical features, and achieves precision size, surface finish, roundness, and concentricity requirements.
Single diameter components in small to mid size runs are offered very competitively by utilizing the thrufeed grinding method, whereby the part is ground while continuously traveling through the grinding and regulating wheels, automatically exiting the work zone. Multiple diameter parts can also benefit if the ground surface is the largest diameter and comprises most of the overall length. Alternatively, thrufeed grinding may be paired with infeed grinding or other grinding methods to obtain final specifications.
During infeed grinding, the part is held between the grinding and regulating wheels in a constant axial location, allowing multiple diameters, radii, tapers, steps, and/or faces to be ground simultaneously to achieve their geometric relationships. This process may also be referred to as crush form grinding since the grinding wheel is dressed, or created, by having to-be-ground features crushed, or formed, into it.
Profile can also help increase the value and function of round commodity parts- such as off-the-shelf dowel pins, by centerless grinding custom flats and slots. Or, turn commodity fasteners- like bolts and screws, into your specialty, captive fasteners, by reducing their shanks for clearance or incorporating shear pin features.
We’ve also produced centerless ground forms some said weren’t possible, like a very small engine valve, and excel at efficiently thrufeed grinding tungsten parts and grinding forms into tungsten blanks.

Distributing a press release to editors and news organizations is only half the battle. Writing a press release that will be published by the media is equally important. Press releases are public relations opportunities. A well written press release, can generate exposure in publications that could be worth thousands in advertising dollars, for a fraction of the cost. | <urn:uuid:2f558e56-9039-473f-bafb-36149e6bd400> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://promotiondata.com/news/day/20060428.html | 2023-09-27T12:51:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.922286 | 90 |
The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) has cautioned the general public that the Certificate of Incorporation of a company is only evidence of its registration as a corporate entity.
In a statement, SECP said that it issues warnings to raise awareness among the public regarding potentially fraudulent activities perpetrated by companies and individuals posing as legitimate incorporated persons that come to its attention.
SECP said that based on information available on social media and complaints received recently it has been observed that the following typical business models are being used to lure the public:
- Mobile/web-based apps promising lucrative profits/referral bonuses on deposits/investments
- Seeking deposits in the name of making investments on your behalf in different products and promise of lucrative returns like investments in Surface Mount LED (SMD) screens, trading of different products/forex/cryptos
- Taking advances in the name of fees/down payment for the provision of loans or assets on lease/easy installments at low markup;
- Receiving funds for online jobs packages
SECP highlighted that deposit-taking/leasing/financing is only permissible to companies that have obtained a license (different from an incorporation certificate) to that effect.
Any person dealing with a company is recommended to self-check the status of that company on SECP’s website or by raising a query with SECP. A list of companies suspected to be involved in unauthorized businesses is placed on the SECP website and is updated from time to time, the statement added.
SECP has advised the public to remain vigilant and report any suspected activity by a registered company to SECP. | <urn:uuid:58df6b83-2fdf-49bd-b544-5d5fbd7b388d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://propakistani.pk/2023/05/31/secp-warns-people-against-investing-in-fraudulent-companies/ | 2023-09-27T13:04:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.957902 | 331 |
A recent study has revealed that nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, can cause nerve damage in teenagers and young adults. The research encompassed 119 young individuals who were hospitalized due to neurological complications stemming from nitrous oxide usage.
The most prevalent symptom, reported by 85 percent of the participants, was a tingling sensation in their limbs. This was attributed to damage to their spinal cord and peripheral nerves. Additional symptoms reported included challenges with bladder and bowel control, erectile dysfunction, poor balance, and a sensation akin to an “electric shock” in the spine.
The study, carried out by Queen Mary University of London, assessed the effects of nitrous oxide on individuals averaging 22 years of age. These individuals were treated at three hospitals in London, Manchester, and Birmingham in 2022.
These patients had been consuming large quantities of the drug, with some being as young as 14 years old. The study also discovered that 75 percent of the participants were male, with their nitrous oxide inhalation ranging from 318 to 2,800 canisters per week.
Interestingly, the study discovered that young Asian men were the most at risk of harm from nitrous oxide usage, hinting at a potential genetic predisposition to nerve damage due to exposure to the gas.
The report mentioned that the high proportion of individuals of Asian descent among the affected could point to genetic, dietary, or nutritional factors contributing to neurological damage. Social circumstances influencing nitrous oxide usage were also considered.
Nitrous oxide is routinely used for pain management during childbirth or dental procedures in both humans and animals. However, it has gained increasing popularity as a recreational drug. In the UK, nearly one in ten people aged 16 to 24 have used nitrous oxide in the past year, making it the second most popular drug among this age group, after cannabis. | <urn:uuid:08a914d1-28da-43b2-b146-f54d5b22ab97> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://propakistani.pk/2023/06/02/study-reveals-laughing-gas-harms-nerves-in-young-adults-and-teens/ | 2023-09-27T12:19:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.973352 | 371 |
