First meteorite fragments were recovered in Russia after thorough analysis of the exceptionally large recent fireball striking the sky over the Lipetsk region in Russia on June 21, 2018.
The total impact energy of the fireball was estimated at 2,8 kt, thus making it a rare case with a less than once in a year occurrence.
Fireball was widely observed from many places in Russia, including Moscow
The scientists from the Finnish Fireball Network, University of Helsinki, and the Ural Federal University formed a consortium enabling unprecedentedly quick prediction and the actual discovery of the strewnfield on the ground - the area where the meteorite fragments were dispersed following intense fragmentation of the object during the steep atmospheric entry. The fireball was widely observed from many places in Russia, including Moscow.
After careful consideration, three occasional video records of the fireball were selected for detailed investigation. Collection of the observational data and trajectory analysis were done by Esko Lyytinen, Maria Gritsevich, Nikolai Kruglikov, and Mikhail Larionov. The derived parameters, characterizing the trajectory were clearly indicative of a number of survived meteorite fragments landing on the ground. Using these results a comprehensive modeling of the strewn field providing the expected locations of the simulated fragments was done by Jarmo Moilanen. With the support of these data meteorite recovery campaign was initiated by Victor Grokhovsky.
The members of the first expedition were Aleksander Pastukhovich and Grigory Yakovlev, who recovered the first meteorite fragment already on Monday, June 25, 2018 in excellent agreement with the predicted results.
Asteroid Day June 30
“Such collision of Earth with the asteroid occurred just prior to the Asteroid Day stresses a necessity to improve current capabilities of tracking hazardous space objects prior to their intersection with Earth, to be also coupled with forecasts of regional environmental consequences occurring due to their entry”, says Maria Gritsevich, Docent in Planetary Sciences at the University of Helsinki.
It is widely accepted by the scientific community that near-Earth object (NEO) impacts represent a long term global threat to the collective welfare of humanity. Such impacts have occurred much more frequently in the past. Earth would be heavily cratered if it did not have its geologically active lithosphere, and the atmosphere that effectively shields the planet from all but the larger meteoroids and asteroids.
“Solving a problem of estimating risks associated with low-probability high-impact bolide events is often decisionally postponed due to the lack of evidence that such impact would occur ‘soon’ – if so, there considered to be no necessity to map it in the next years of global political and economical developments. However, while the likelihood of a globally threatening event is low, the mathematical expectation (i.e., the product of the probability of the occurrence of an impact and the cost associated with its occurrence) is realistic due to the catastrophic consequences caused to the entire ecosphere”, Maria Gritsevich says.
“This is not a first time when our collaboration lead to overwhelming success – 4 years ago the famous Annama meteorite became a well-deserved result of a similar joint effort”, Professor Victor Grokhovsky from the Ural Federal University says.

In 1878 Dvorák was commissioned to write something along the lines of Brahms’s “Hungarian Dances”, but using the sounds of his native country. The resulting eight “Slavonic Dances” led to his international breakthrough. “Furiant”, “polka”, “soudeská”: all are written with consummate mastery and dazzling formal sophistication. Although the “Slavonic Dances” also became popular in orchestral arrangement, they were originally written for piano four-hands. Yet the musical text Dvorák released for publication was anything but ideal. Now, to honor the centennial of his death, we are presenting his original version with a detailed commentary on the work’s sources and editorial problems. The fingering, always a delicate matter in duet playing, has been entrusted to Andreas Groethuysen, with results that will prove a boon to performers everywhere.
- Slavonic Dances op. 46
Antonín Dvorák’s Slavonic Dances, op. 46 (B 78), made the composer known beyond the confines of his native Bohemia and laid the cornerstone for his international breakthrough. The impetus to write them came from Fritz Simrock, the owner of the music publishing house of N. Simrock in Berlin. Simrock had been made aware of the Prague composer and his Moravian Duets at the end … more

Whether to replace or repair an air conditioning system is a tough decision. Most homeowners keep up with repairs regardless of if these become more frequent. The effort means to stave off the expense of a new system.
Unfortunately, the more often there are service calls, the greater the system struggles to remain efficient. View here troubleshooting for common AC repairs.
That means the utility costs are higher than needed, making it more expensive than a modern, more efficient system would be monthly.
The upfront investment for a new unit would save money over the long term while keeping the old air conditioner will become costlier in repairs and energy bills as it goes.
One way to be sure you’re doing the right thing is to have a tune-up with a trusted air conditioning specialist. Following the inspection, the technician will be able to offer advice about whether the unit should be replaced sooner rather than later or if you can continue with repairs.
Weighing the advantages against the costs for both repairs and a replacement will put it into perspective. Let’s look at a few things that should be factored into the decision.
Is An Air Conditioning Replacement Necessary, or Can Repairs Suffice
When an air conditioner starts to require more frequent repairs than has been typical in the distant past, it begs the question of whether you should continue with repairs or whether the equipment needs to be replaced. Many variables go into that decision.
It’s wise to seek the guidance of those who specialize in ac unit replacements and repairs. These professionals will inspect the system to discern the condition, with age being a significant factor. Anything over 15 years is reaching the end of its lifespan. Let’s look at each variable to help with a more informed decision.
The unit’s age
With adequate care and upkeep plus proper installation, manufacturers indicate standard central air conditioning should withstand a range of roughly “15 to 20 years lifespan.” Aside from proper maintenance, it will also depend on usage.
Eventual wear and tear happen, but with sufficient care, this can be prolonged, maximizing your original investment based on extended longevity and efficiency.
How often is the unit being repaired?
Air conditioners will need service periodically, particularly if there’s extensive use in unusually hot temperatures. Still, if the system is being repaired often and needs these urgently, it can be expensive and a warning sign of possible malfunctions.
Often, homeowners neglect the HVAC unit while it’s functional, relying on the fact it will continue to work without the need for routine tune-ups. Unfortunately, minor defects go undetected without inspections, leading to major problems and expensive repairs.
With preventive maintenance and tune-ups, AC specialists recognize minor issues and can fix them before they become extensive damage.
However, if you’re paying routinely to keep the equipment functioning, albeit struggling to stay ahead of the breakdowns, it would be less costly to invest in a replacement instead of making those repairs.
The utility costs continue to increase
There can be many reasons for utility costs to increase. The rates may have been raised, or your usage has gone up.
However, if you inquire about the electric service and their rates have remained the same, and you haven’t changed how you use the equipment, it’s wise to reach out to an air conditioning specialist for guidance.
Heating and cooling accounts for half the energy costs for a household in this country, with air conditioners gradually losing efficiency as time passes due to wear and tear.
While adequate preventive maintenance involving replacing worn and broken parts helps to retain functionality, efficiency continues to decrease with age, causing the equipment to burn electricity and raise utility costs considerably.
The guide for determining efficiency is “SEER,” or seasonal energy efficiency rating. The higher this number, the greater the efficiency of the system. A unit ranging from roughly 15 years old will not function with the same SEER rating it had when it was new.
Find out how to know if a window AC unit should be replaced at https://www.cnet.com/home/kitchen-and-household/signs-that-its-time-to-replace-your-window-air-conditioner/.
A primary consideration when deciding whether to repair or replace air conditioning equipment is how long you plan to stay in the home, whether your stay will be brief, if you plan to retire, or if you intend to stay for an extended period.
Adding a high-efficiency HVAC unit to the house can increase the property value. With this being a primary system in the household, some indications suggest the increase could be as great as roughly “70 percent.”
Even if you plan an extended stay, buying the highest efficiency unit will save money on utility costs, not to mention investing in a high-quality system will mean little likelihood for repairs.
That doesn’t mean you can neglect the equipment. Care and upkeep are crucial for extended longevity and the greatest efficiency, making it necessary to have routine tune-ups with an AC specialist annually. | <urn:uuid:305f4cf6-60d3-4135-81b5-1152ccbd636c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.hiboox.com/air-conditioning-repairs-or-replacement/ | 2023-09-27T12:24:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.938028 | 1,059 |
Various spiritual teachers, mentors, and revered leaders, hailing from a plethora of traditions and philosophical viewpoints spanning continents and time, have delved deep into and shared their insights about the enigmatic subject of the afterlife. This captivating theme, concerning what transpires after our mortal lives come to an end, has consistently piqued the curiosity and wonder of humanity, resonating through the ages.
Such profound introspection and subsequent contemplation have birthed an expansive array of interpretations, theories, and deeply held beliefs, each serving as a testament to the intricate and colorful mosaic of human culture, thought, and spiritual evolution.
These concepts, ranging from the cyclical nature of reincarnation to the transformative power of resurrection, and from the notion of an unending consciousness to the redeeming promise of salvation, not only kindle the imagination but also profoundly influence the manner in which individuals lead their lives, perceive their existence, and discern their intricate role in the vast cosmic dance of the universe.
Here are some insights from a few well-known figures whose thoughts on the afterlife have contributed to this fascinating and complex dialogue:
- Dalai Lama (Buddhism) ─ As a Tibetan Buddhist, the Dalai Lama believes in reincarnation, where the consciousness continues to another life until enlightenment is achieved.
- Wanda Pratnicka, PhD ─ believes in reincarnation. The soul has a choice to transition to the other side or stay among the living, which may result in spirit attachment. Visit https://wandapratnicka.com
- Thich Nhat Hanh (Buddhism) ─ This Zen master emphasizes the interconnection of all things and sees death as a continuation rather than an end, where energy takes on new forms.
- Pope Francis (Catholic Christianity) ─ As the leader of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis adheres to the Christian belief in Heaven, Hell, and Judgment, emphasizing God’s mercy and love.
- Eckhart Tolle (Spirituality) ─ Eckhart Tolle often speaks about transcending the ego and the realization of the eternal present moment. He suggests that what we think of as the “self” is temporary, and our true nature is timeless.
- Deepak Chopra (New Age) ─ Chopra believes in a consciousness that continues after physical death and the idea that the soul evolves through various lifetimes.
- Sadhguru (Yoga and Spirituality) ─ Sadhguru teaches about the possibility of liberation (moksha) from the cycle of birth and death and emphasizes inner realization and connection with the universal.
- Billy Graham (Evangelical Christianity) ─ The late Reverend Billy Graham preached about salvation through faith in Jesus Christ and the promise of eternal life in Heaven.
- Paramahansa Yogananda (Hinduism) ─ Yogananda taught about the eternal nature of the soul and believed in reincarnation, with the ultimate goal being union with the divine.
- Rabbi Jonathan Sacks (Judaism) ─ The late Rabbi Sacks spoke about the Jewish belief in the World to Come (Olam HaBa) and the resurrection of the dead in the messianic era.
Death remains one of the most mysterious and enigmatic aspects of the human experience. Generations have sought answers to this perplexing question, turning to spiritual and religious leaders who offer insights based on centuries of wisdom, tradition, and meditation. As we traverse various cultural and spiritual landscapes, we encounter a vast array of beliefs about what comes next.
Buddhism and Reincarnation
Central to Buddhist belief is the concept of Samsara, the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth, driven by one’s karma. The Dalai Lama, a beacon of Tibetan Buddhism, has expounded upon this, highlighting how one’s actions in their current life can influence their future incarnations. He speaks of the necessity for compassion and ethical behavior to break free from this cycle and achieve Nirvana.
The Christian Dichotomy of Heaven and Hell
Christian teachings often revolve around the themes of salvation, judgment, and the eventual destinations of Heaven or Hell. Pope Francis, in his tenure as the spiritual leader of the Catholic Church, has emphasized God’s mercy, reminding believers of the boundless love and forgiveness the Almighty offers. This, he suggests, is the path to Heaven – a realm of eternal peace and communion with God.
Spirit Release and The Afterlife
Wanda Pratnicka, a renowned spiritual healer, delves into the phenomenon of spirits that don’t transition peacefully after death. Through her work, she elucidates the idea that souls can sometimes remain ‘stuck’ due to unresolved emotions or attachments, emphasizing the importance of spiritual healing and guidance for these souls to find their way to the light.
Beyond these well-known figures, countless others have contributed to the discourse on the afterlife. Some believe in the continuation of energy, suggesting that while our physical form ceases to exist, our essence persists in the universe, perhaps influencing it in ways we can’t comprehend.
Others, influenced by more modern ideas, speak of eternal consciousness, proposing that we might exist in a state of perpetual awareness, transcending traditional concepts of time and space.
In the grand tapestry of beliefs surrounding the afterlife, what stands out is the diversity and richness of human thought. Each perspective, be it rooted in ancient scriptures or contemporary spiritual thought, offers a unique lens through which to view the eternal question of what happens after death.
These reflections not only shape individual lives but also mold civilizations, rituals, and moral compasses. The quest for understanding may never truly end, but the journey itself, filled with such intriguing insights, remains a testament to humanity’s unwavering spirit of inquiry.
Amidst these myriad beliefs and contemplations, it’s evident that the human soul yearns for a connection to the unknown, bridging the gap between our finite existence and the infinite mysteries of the cosmos. | <urn:uuid:a53aee0c-e59b-40fb-8884-fddf421ae04c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.hiboox.com/perspectives-from-renowned-spiritual-leaders/ | 2023-09-27T11:20:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.912186 | 1,244 |

The order affects naturally-derived psychedelics, such as mushrooms and peyote.
By Dave Orrick Star Tribune JULY 21, 2023 — 5:39PM
Psilocybin mushrooms, a naturally occurring psychedelic, at a Missions Within therapy retreat on the outskirts of Tijuana, Mexico.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey on Friday ordered police to back off from enforcing laws banning the possession and use of a number of naturally derived psychedelic drugs. In an executive order supported by Police Chief Brian O'Hara and hailed by advocates for increased acceptance of hallucinogens for their potential benefits, Frey ordered the city's police and regulators to make such laws their "lowest law enforcement priority."
In other words, for users who are otherwise following the law, the cops are supposed to leave you alone.
"I'm fairly certain there are a number of other incidents around the city that would require the assistance of an officer more than that," Frey said in an interview.
The mayor added: "I'm not saying, go out there and take shrooms. I'm saying the science backs the argument that this is an important tool in the toolkit for depression, trauma, [post-traumatic stress disorder] and some of the deaths of despair that we're seeing out there." The substances remain illegal, and certain activities — such as driving under the influence, commercially manufacturing such drugs or handing them out on school grounds — will still be subject to police enforcement under Frey's order.
Many experts caution against experimenting with hallucinogens, which do pose hazards. But the order is broad and appears to direct Minneapolis police not to assist federal authorities if they're planning to make a raid to seize relatively small amounts of mescaline within city limits.
Why is this happening?
It's part of a national trend and has some bipartisan support. So far, such steps have been taken only in predominantly liberal areas; Denver, San Francisco, Detroit, Seattle and the state of Oregon are among the jurisdictions with similarly permissive measures. This year, a bipartisan group of Minnesota legislators successfully pushed for the creation of a task force exploring the possible legalization of psychedelics for medicinal use. In campaigns similar to those used for the marijuana legalization movement, proponents push a constellation of arguments both scientific and cultural:
Numerous scientific studies have shown that some of these compounds, under some circumstances, can help treat a host of conditions ranging from PTSD to drug addiction. Removing the stigma is said to be crucial to both research and eventual use of the drugs.
The war on drugs has had disparate effects on communities of color, and these drugs are no exception — a racial justice argument.
Indigenous peoples, including some American Indians, have traditionally used some of the plants, such as mescaline-containing peyote, for spiritual purposes. So there's a religious freedom element as well.
Frey said that destigmatizing the drugs was an important part of his thinking. He also noted that the order, which took effect Friday, doesn't amount to a sea change for local police. "It's not like we were prioritizing this before, either," he said.
Frey's order covers compounds derived from "entheogenic" plants and fungi — a term that describes naturally growing flora that can cause alterations in mood or perception. They include "indole amines, tryptamines and phenethylamines." The list isn't limited to psilocybin mushrooms, ayahuasca tea, mescaline and iboga, according to the order. That doesn't cover every psychedelic drug, including synthetic drugs that have long been in use. LSD or "acid," ketamine and ecstasy — also known as molly or MDMA — remain a priority target of Minneapolis law enforcement.
Promises and risks
The family of substances is generally not addictive and the risk of deadly overdoses is seen as low, though they haven't been approved as safe or effective by the Food and Drug Administration.
In recent years, studies from reputable institutions published in some of the top peer-reviewed medical journals have shown potential breakthroughs in treating a range of conditions that have vexed scientists for years, from smoking cessation to treating PTSD in combat veterans, with psychedelics.
However, health experts caution that such studies are conducted in controlled environments with controlled doses of specific compounds. Depending on the compound, certain people often won't be accepted into a study because of risks. For example, people with a family history of schizophrenia or bipolar disorder are generally not accepted for trials involving psilocybin, the compound found in psychoactive mushrooms. "Use of psychedelics can pose short-term and long-term risks, including hallucinogen use disorder and other mental health related risks," according to a position statement last year by the American Psychiatric Association.
Five researchers, including three doctors at the Mayo Clinic, published a report in the Journal of the Neurological Sciences last year that read, in part: "While preliminary findings on psychedelics are encouraging, current evidence is still insufficient to support extensive use of these drugs routinely. Long-term safety and efficacy of these compounds remain unclear, and several clinical trials are underway and may add clarity to these questions." | <urn:uuid:1c47209e-20d8-4b29-8c29-4cb664cf88c9> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.highat9news.com/post/mayor-frey-orders-minneapolis-police-to-lay-off-enforcing-laws-against-hallucinogens | 2023-09-27T13:22:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.956864 | 1,060 |

In order to gradually implement Vietnam's commitments towards the goal of net zero emissions by 2050, after 2030, Vietnam will not develop any new thermal power plants. Accordingly, in 2045, the capacity of coal-fired power plants will only be about 13.2% of the total capacity of power plants.
The current situation
Since 2000, coal-fired thermal power sources have been strongly developed both in terms of quantity, size of unit capacity as well as technology. From the 300 MW power unit, the subcritical steam parameters of Pha Lai 2 were put into operation in the 2001-2002 period. By 2020, Vietnam had many 600 MW power units using super steam parameters. The rapid development of coal-fired power plants has helped Vietnam solve the problem of electricity supply for development when economic growth is maintained at a high level, accompanied by an average increase in electricity demand of 11% during the period. 10 years before the Covid-19 pandemic. By the end of 2021, the installed capacity of coal-fired power reached about 24.7 GW, accounting for 32% of the total power capacity of the system . Most of the capacity of existing coal-fired power plants is owned by state-owned corporations such as Electricity of Vietnam - EVN (57%), Vietnam National Oil and Gas Group - PVN (11%) and Vietnam National Coal - Mineral Industries Group - TKV (7%). Coal-fired power plants invested in the form of BOT and IPP account for 16% and 9% of installed capacity, respectively. With stable operation characteristics, independent of natural factors like renewable power sources, the power generated from coal-fired power would account for 46% of the total electricity produced by the power system in 2021 with more than 118 billion kWh .

Coal-fired power plants in Vietnam are classified based on two main factors: combustion technology and steam parameters. The current operation and maintenance management still has many challenges, such as the regulations on the mandatory maintenance regime are not specific, the maintenance process has not been completed, etc. In recent years, environmental protection for coal-fired power plants has also received more attention and investment. In the period 2000-2015, coal-fired power plants were only allowed to invest in dust and SOx treatment equipment, however, in the period 2015-2020 many factories were invested with additional NOx treatment equipment. Currently, all coal-fired power plants have been installed with electrostatic precipitators (ESP) with dust treatment efficiency of over 99.7%.
In 2019, coal-fired power plants emitted 106 MtCO2, accounting for 84% of total emissions in the power generation sector . In 2021, these factories released about 16 million tons of ash and slag into the environment, mainly in the North (accounting for 64%), while the proportion of the Central region is 25%, the South is 11%.
Specifically, 14 coal power plants of the Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) discharged 6.88 million tons of ash and slag, and 6 plants of the Vietnam Coal and Mineral Industries Group (TKV) emitted 2.46. million tons, 2 factories of the Vietnam Oil and Gas Group (PVN) emitted 1.55 million tons, 7 BOT thermal power plants emitted about 5 million tons of ash and slag, in 2021. The coal-fired power plant with the largest amount of ash and slag emissions in the country is the Hai Duong BOT Thermal Power Plant, which emits 2.2 million tons to the environment each year. The locality that records the largest amount of ash and slag emissions in the country is Quang Ninh, which emits about 6.7 million tons per year.
Regarding the treatment and consumption of coal-fired slag, according to data from EVN, TKV, PVN, and the investor of 7 BOT thermal power plants, the total amount of ash and slag consumed in 2021 increased significantly, reaching more than 14 million tons, equivalent to 87% of the total amount of coal-fired ash and slag discharged into the environment in the year. Consumption rate of ash and slag from thermal power plants to make construction materials, road levelling materials, and cement production has increased rapidly in recent years after the Prime Minister issued a directive on March 8, 2021, requiring the promotion of processing and using ash and slag as raw materials for the production of building materials (previously, this rate was 50% in 2019 and 60% in 2020).
In addition, the amount of toxic Phosphogypsum residue (GYPS) discharged at coal-fired power plants across the country is almost unsold and must be stored at plants, with a volume of up to 12.35 million tons.
In order to reduce environmental pollution and affect people's lives in the project area, the Ministry of Construction proposed the Prime Minister direct the Ministry of Transport to study and use thermoelectric ash and gypsum as raw materials in construction projects. traffic works, replacing natural materials.
Roadmap towards net zero
Vietnam aims that approximately 50-60% of total electricity generation will be supplied from renewable energy sources by 2050. With this power development program, CO2 emissions are expected to peak at 240 million tons in 2035 and decrease down to 30-35 million tons by 2050, contributing to ensuring the international commitments on "zero" emissions by 2050. The Power Master Plan VIII develops a power development program with the highest goal of ensuring the security of power supply and achieving Net-zero by 2050 with a power source structure as follows:
By 2030: Total capacity of power plants will reach about 121,757-145,989 MW (excluding rooftop solar power, separate load power supply and cogeneration), of which: hydropower will gradually increase from about 21,000 MW at present (30% capacity, 29% production) up to 27,353-28.946 MW (19.8-22.5% capacity, 17.5-17.6% output); coal-fired power plants from about 25,000 MW at present (31% of capacity, 45% of output) to 30,127-36.327 MW (20.6-29.8% of capacity, 30.6-42.5% of output) - this additional capacity is from factories under construction or preparing for investment; renewable energy other than hydroelectricity (wind power, solar power, biomass power, ...) increased from about 17,000 MW at present (about 25% of capacity, 4.5% of output) to 21,871-39,486 MW (18-27% capacity, 11.6-20.2% output) and imported electricity 4,076-5,000 MW (3.3-3.4% capacity, 3.2-4.1% output).
Orientation to 2050: The total capacity of power plants is about 368,461501,608 MW (excluding rooftop solar power, separate load power supply and cogeneration), of which: hydroelectricity 35,571-36,016 MW (7, 5,700 MW). 2-9.7% capacity, 8.6-10.5% output); no more coal-fired thermal power plants; biomass/ammonia conversion coal-fired thermal power 25,632-28,832 MW (5.1-7.8% capacity, 6.1-7.6% output); renewable energy other than hydropower (wind power, solar power, biomass power, ...) 201,836-295,638 MW (54.9-58.9% capacity, 48.2-59.1% output) ; imported electricity 11,042 MW (2.2-3% of capacity; 2.8-3.5% of output).
In order to gradually implement Vietnam's commitments towards the goal of net zero emissions by 2050, after 2030, Vietnam will not develop new thermal power plants and gradually phase out those already operating. years of operation, outdated technology. Accordingly, in 2045, the capacity of coal-fired power plants will only be about 13.2% of the total capacity of power plants.
Currently, Vietnam is also researching and learning new technologies for coal-fired power plants such as clean coal technology (CCT), carbon capture, use and storage technology (CCUS) to ensure the electricity supply for economic development associated with environmental protection and the implementation of the Government's commitments. In addition, Vietnam is also researching and gradually switching fuels from coal to cleaner fuels such as biomass, ammonia to apply when these technologies have been verified and commercialised.

Fungal Antagonism Assessment of Predatory Species and Producers Metabolites and Their Effectiveness on Haemonchus contortus Infective Larvae
The objective of this study was to assess antagonism of nematophagous fungi and species producers metabolites and their effectiveness on Haemonchus contortus infective larvae (L3). Assay A assesses the synergistic, additive, or antagonistic effect on the production of spores of fungal isolates of the species Duddingtonia flagrans, Clonostachys rosea, Trichoderma esau, and Arthrobotrys musiformis; Assay B evaluates in vitro the effect of intercropping of these isolates grown in 2% water-agar (2% WA) on L3 of H. contortus. D. flagrans (Assay A) produced 5.3 × 106 spores and associated with T. esau, A. musiformis, or C. rosea reduced its production by 60.37, 45.28, and 49.05%, respectively. T. esau produced 7.9 × 107 conidia and associated with D. flagrans, A. musiformis, or C. rosea reduced its production by 39.24, 82.27, and 96.96%, respectively. A. musiformis produced 7.3 × 109 spores and associated with D. flagrans, T. esau, or C. rosea reduced its production by 99.98, 99.99, and 99.98%, respectively. C. rosea produced 7.3 × 108 conidia and associated with D. flagrans, T. esau, or A. musiformis reduced its production by 95.20, 96.84, and 93.56%, respectively. These results show evidence of antagonism in the production of spores between predators fungi.
Brazil has a herd of 212 million head of cattle and 171 million hectares of pastures that produce approximately 96% of Brazilian beef. On the other hand, gastrointestinal nematodes are a serious problem in ruminant production; once the animals have been exposed to high parasite loads they may succumb, especially younger individuals, which are more susceptible [1, 2].
The parasite-host relationship is characterized as a balanced relationship, being controlled by the intraspecified variability of host and parasite, allied to environmental factors. Epidemiologically whole herd raised under grazing conditions has some degree of gastrointestinal nematode infection, which results in a complex series of pathological events ranging between subclinical effects, production losses, and even death of the animal . In this context, nematodes, especially the genus Haemonchus, are responsible for large economic losses in livestock. The conventional method for controlling such gastrointestinal parasites is to use synthetic anthelmintic drugs but they leave residues of the products in the treated animal, affect nontarget organisms, and select resistant strains of the parasites. Thus, use of nematophagous fungi, as an alternative control, has been constantly tested, with interesting results both in the field and under laboratory conditions .
A heterogeneous group of microfungi experts in capturing and using intestinal parasitic nematodes of domestic animals and phytonematodes as a source of nutrients are considered highly feasible and promising in environmental reduction of infective larvae [5, 6]. Duddingtonia flagrans and Arthrobotrys spp. are fungi predators and the most studied and effective in the control of parasites of animals [4, 7]. Clonostachys spp. and Trichoderma spp. are primarily used as biological controls of phytonematodes, but the diversity of the produced metabolites and adaptability to different environmental conditions give them the opportunity to be used in the biotechnology industry [7–10].
Although competition between microorganisms is very intense and severe making the introduction of new fungal species as biocontrol agents in certain environments practically impossible, it is necessary to evaluate the effect of combinations of fungi predators, opportunists, and ovicidal and metabolites producers and also abiotic factors, raising the possibility of establishment of fungi and potentiating the nematodes control [11–14]. Commercial spore production is usually performed in organic substrates or inert carriers, but several attempts to select substrates more productively and with low cost production have been carried out, especially with byproducts of agroindustry .
For use in biocontrol program as for survival and dissemination in environment condition of fungal spores is necessary and when it comes to parasites animal control is important to select species and/or isolates capable of crossing the digestive tract and maintain the viability and predatory ability . Thus, the objective of this study was to assess antagonism of nematophagous fungi and species producers metabolites and their effectiveness on L3 of H. contortus.
2. Materials and Methods
Organisms were used as fungal isolates of D. flagrans (strain FTHO-8) , Clonostachys rosea (strain Yucatán, CICY-CONACYT), Arthrobotrys musiformis, and Trichoderma esau maintained on agar-water 2% (AA 2%) of mycology library of the National Institute for Forestry, Agricultural and Livestock, INIFAP, and H. contortus infective larvae (L3) (isolated Hueytamalco, Puebla) maintained by artificial infection in Pelibuey sheep in INIFAP facilities.
2.2. Spore Production
Two fragments of a previous crop in 2% WA of D. flagrans, A. musiformis, C. rosea, and T. esau, with approximately 4 mm2 being transferred alone or in association with other fungi to Petri dishes of 100 × 15 mm (06 replicates) containing 20 mL of 2% WhA culture medium, were maintained at room temperature and protected from light. The initial inoculum present in each fragment isolated from D. flagrans, A. musiformis, C. rosea, and T. esau was, respectively, 1.1 × 103, 1.9 × 106, 4.2 × 104, and 7.1 × 105 conidia and/or chlamydospores. After 7 days of cultivation 5 mL of distilled water was added on the plate surface and the spores were scraped with a spatula and stored in a sterile Falcon tubes. The volume was completed to 45 mL and 10 replicates were evaluated in a Neubauer chamber. Counting averages were extrapolated to the final volume of spores produced per plate.
2.3. “In Vitro” Test
Two fragments of a previous crop in 2% WA of D. flagrans, A. musiformis, C. rosea, and T. esau, with approximately 4 mm2 being transferred alone or associated with other fungi to Petri dishes of 600 × 15 mm (08 replicates) containing 10 mL of 2% WA culture medium, were maintained at room temperature and protected from light for 7 days. After cultivation, each Petri dish was inoculated with approximately 300 L3 of H. contortus obtained by the Baermann method from coprocultures of sheep faeces artificially infected. The Petri dishes were kept at room temperature and protected from light; in the seventh day of interaction between fungal isolates and nematodes, Baermann was taken from the agar contained in Petri plates for recovery of larvae not preyed upon.
2.4. Statistical Analysis
Assay A was designed in a factorial combination of fungal isolates × association of the same isolates (4 isolates, 6 associations, and 6 replicates) and Assay B was designed in a factorial combination of fungal isolates × nematode parasites (4 isolates, 6 associations, and 8 replicates) and one control group. The average number of produced spores or recovered larvae was subjected to analysis of variance and compared by Tukey test in 1% significance level using BioEstat 5.3 software.
3. Results and Discussion
The results observed in Table 1 show that, in the culture conditions described, the D. flagrans alone produced 5.3 × 106 conidia/chlamydospores by Petri dish and when it was associated with T. esau, A. musiformis, or C. rosea the structure production was 2.1 × 106, 2.9 × 106, and 2.7 × 106, respectively, showing a reduction of 60.37, 45.28, and 49.05%, respectively, in the spores production (Table 1 and Figure 1(a)).
(a) Duddingtonia flagrans
(b) Trichoderma esau
(c) Arthrobotrys musiformis
(d) Clonostachys rosea
The production of spores of T. esau alone, in the same conditions described, was 7.9 × 107 conidia per plate and in association with D. flagrans, A. musiformis, or C. rosea was 4.8 × 107, 1.4 × 107, and 2.4 × 106 structures, reducing at 39.24, 82.27, and 96.96%, respectively (Table 1 and Figure 1(b)).
A. musiformis alone produced 7.3 × 109 conidia/chlamydospores per plate and in association with D. flagrans, T. esau, or C. rosea the reproductive structure production was 1.4 × 106, 1.7 × 105, and 1.4 × 106, respectively, being reduced at 99.98, 99.99, and 99.98%, respectively (Table 1 and Figure 1(c)).
C. rosea alone reached a production of 2.8 × 108 conidia per plate and in association with D. flagrans, T. esau, or A. musiformis the spores production was 3.5 × 107, 2.3 × 107, and 4.7 × 107, being reduced at 95.20, 96.84, and 93.56%, respectively (Table 1 and Figure 1(d)).
The isolates, A. musiformis and C. rosea alone, showed the greatest production of reproductive structures per plate; on the other hand they also had the highest percentage of reduction in spores production when they were grown in association with other fungal isolates (Table 1).
In “in vitro” test the effectiveness of fungus predator D. flagrans was 100% against L3 of H. contortus in isolated culture (); the remaining 100% of efficacy cultivated in association with A. musiformis or T. esau was not antagonized by these fungi, but in association with C. rosea the predatory activity was reduced to 95.65% (Table 2).
The A. musiformis isolate grown in isolation preyed on 91.30% of larvae () and associated with the fungus predator D. flagrans or metabolites producers, T. esau or C. rosea, showed additive predatory effect of 100, 100, and 95.65%, respectively (Table 2).
The fungi metabolites producers, T. esau and C. rosea, preyed on 82.60% of larvae grown in isolation (), but when they were grown in conjunction they showed strong antagonism, preying on 60.86% of larvae, not differing statistically from the control group (). In addition, these isolates showed additive effect by the presence of predators fungi D. flagrans or A. musiformis, preying on 100 and 95.65%, respectively, of L3 of H. contortus (Table 2).
3.1. Assay A: Evaluation of Spores Production
In this evaluation D. flagrans alone produced 5.3 × 106 spores per Petri dish in AT 2% medium; Sagüés et al. observed similar production with the addition of mesoinositol and wheat flour plus powder milk in Sabouraud Glucose Agar, SGA (5.1 × 107 and 2 × 108 chlamydospores, resp.), grown in a temperature of 27°C for 28 days, showing production potential of reproductive structures of D. flagrans. Hernández Mansilla et al. obtained in biphasic system the production of 1 × 105 chlamydospores/gram of D. flagrans in solid substrate (rice) after 30 days of culture at room temperature and demonstrated the efficacy of the spores on infective larvae of nematode of sheep. Boguś et al. showed that the proteins of nematode are the best assailable nitrogen source for nematophagous fungi and then observed that nematodes homogenized induce the habit change from saprophyte to predator of D. flagrans in culture medium with a low concentration of carbon and nitrogen; these observations confirm the predatory potential of this species on infective larvae. The isolate of D. flagrans present a reduction of 60.37, 45.28, and 49.05% spores production when grown in association with T. esau, A. musiformis, or C. rosea, respectively, although Assis et al. observed no difference in production of structures when that species was cultivated in association with the ovicidal fungus Mucor circinelloides; these observations demonstrated that isolated with different mechanisms of action may or not be antagonists in environmental conditions. In this case the antagonistic effect of metabolites producers fungi T. esau and C. rosea was more evident than that caused by predator fungus A. musiformis (Table 1).
The isolate of A. musiformis alone produced 7.3 × 109 conidia/chlamydospores per Petri dish. When grown in association with D. flagrans, T. esau, or C. rosea the production of reproductive structures was, respectively, 1.4 × 106, 1.7 × 105, and 1.4 × 106. This isolate shows decrease of the spores production by 99.98, 99.99, and 99.98%, respectively, demonstrating suffering greater antagonism by other fungal species (predators and/or producers of metabolites) (Table 1 and Figure 1(c)). This fact shows that this fungal species may not be a good competitor in the natural environment. Dias and Ferraz observed the production of 2.58 × 106 structures per Petri dish of spores of A. musiformis in YPSSA. Zhao et al. showed that the disruption of AoMls gene of enzyme in the glyoxylate cycle, virulence factor in microbial pathogens from the nematode-trapping fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora, led to a significant reduction in conidiation and failure to utilize fatty acids and sodium acetate for growth, and its conidia were unable to germinate on minimal medium supplemented with sodium oleate.
The production of spores of T. esau alone was 7.9 × 107 conidia per plate and associated with D. flagrans, A. musiformis, or C. rosea was 4.8 × 107, 1.4 × 107, and 2.4 × 106 structures, respectively, reducing the spores production by 39.24, 82.27, and 96.96%, respectively, with statistically significant difference (), between the production alone and in association with other fungi (Table 1 and Figure 1(b)). These results support the data previously cited in which the fungal antagonism is exacerbated by producers species metabolites. This fact is highlighted by Hernández Mansilla et al. who observed the antagonism of different species of Trichoderma on fungi phytopathogens that attack the pineapple.
The C. rosea isolate grown alone produced 2.8 × 108 conidia per plate and in association with D. flagrans, T. esau, and A. musiformis produced 3.5 × 107, 2.3 × 107, and 4.7 × 107 spores, respectively. The spores production of this isolate grown in association with D. flagrans, T. esau, or A. musiformis reduced spores production by 95.20, 96.84, and 93.56%, respectively, demonstrating suffering great antagonism from these species (Table 1 and Figure 1(d)). According to Sun et al. the proportion of resistant spores of C. rosea 67-1 increased to 17.4 and 15.5% in potato dextrose and rice meal media, respectively, in 8 days and the percentage of chlamydospores decreased rapidly with increased pH. Viccini et al. observed that using rice as a substrate after 15 days of culture in plastic bottles and bags resulted in a production of 3.4 × 109 and 1.1 × 108 spores, respectively, per gram of dry matter, confirming the high productive potential of these fungal species.
Evaluating the production of reproductive structures presented in Table 1 demonstrates that all fungal isolates tested, producers metabolites and predators, exert strong antagonism when grown in conjunction, negatively influencing the production of spores in percentages ranging from 39.24 to 99.99% (); this fact exemplifies for the largest gathering and isolation of certain species in detriment to others in various environmental conditions.
3.2. Assay B: “In Vitro” Predation Test
In relation to “in vitro” test in this work it was observed that predators fungi D. flagrans and A. musiformis have the highest percentage of reduction of larvae compared with metabolites producers fungi. Santos et al. assessed, in coprocultures performed using cattle faeces collected on the third day after the oral administration of large concentrations (200 grams’ grain/animal) of isolate A. musiformis, 99% reduction in the number of L3 gastrointestinal nematodes. del Carmen Acevedo Ramírez et al. isolated and identified isolates of A. musiformis in different regions of Mexico demonstrating their effectiveness in vitro against H. contortus infective larvae. Gutiérrez et al. observed “in vitro” a reduction of 97% of L3 of H. contortus and 75% of (L4) histotrophic larvae by species, A. musiformis. Ojeda-Robertos et al. observed that, after oral administration of chlamydospores of D. flagrans to naturally infected sheep, this isolate was able to reduce the number of larvae and eggs per gram of faeces in “in vitro” test confirming the predatory potential of these species on gastrointestinal helminths of veterinary and zootechnical importance.
The literature is scarce in studies that evaluate predatory activity of T. esau and C. rosea against gastrointestinal nematode infective larvae. In agricultural activities Ruano-Rosa et al. observed that combinations of T. atroviride with strains P. chlororaphis and P. pseudoalcaligenes significantly improved the control of white root rot (WRR) caused by R. necatrix during the in vitro experiments, though a protective effect of Trichoderma and some bacteria has been observed in the control of WRR avocado when applied alone.
According to Baloyi et al. isolate of C. rosea reduced nematode counts by 44% to 69.9%, in the faecal bioassay and in the water bioassay of 62.7% to 89.3% were observed. According to Ahmed et al. A. comosus combined with C. rosea (AcCr) is better at controlling nematodes of sheep within a treatment which were paired and penned in individual paddocks than either Ac or Cr individually. A. comosus or AcCr reduced EPG and L3 counts on grass, but C. rosea only reduced L3. The daily feed of Merino sheep with 0.25, 0.5, and 1.0 g of C. rosea chlamydospores per kilogram BW reduced larval development (LD) time on day 70 of treatment by 33, 72, and 89%, respectively, in pastures. In the control group, LD was reduced by only 2.6% as the number of larvae per gram in faecal cultures .
On the other hand studies evaluating the use of fungal associations with different mechanisms of action are still emerging in the agriculture and animal sector. Tavela et al. showed that the fungal isolates Pochonia chlamydosporia, D. flagrans, and Monacrosporium thaumasium were efficient in controlling horse cyathostomin under in vitro conditions, acting alone or in conjunction.
The findings in this study show the existence of fungal antagonism in the production of reproductive structures between species with potential use for control of gastrointestinal nematodes of domestic animals, especially among isolates predators and those producers of metabolites, although predatory reduction has not been observed in the effectiveness of this species. The biotic research in site for application nematophagous fungi with objective environmental control of gastrointestinal nematodes must be thoroughly investigated in order to obtain success in the parasite control program to be implemented.

37 Main St.
Considered the iconic landmark of the town, the Chatham Light stands 48 feet tall and 80 feet above sea level overlooking the infamous Chatham Bar. It is one of the few lighthouses in America that still operates 24 hours a day.
Please check the
USCG Auxiliary, Chatham Flotilla website for current status
of tours of the grounds and/or lighthouse.
The Chatham Light is an operational lighthouse under the US Coast Guard, who are ready to answer many emergencies involving distressed mariners, fishermen, or summer folk with problems on the water.
The Chatham Light was originally a pair of lighthouses, called the “Twin Lights”, and this site was just one of three lighthouse locations in Chatham – the others being the Stage Harbor Light, and the Monomoy Light.
The Chatham Lighthouse station was first established in 1808, the second to be built on Cape Cod. The rotating beacon you see today did not exist back then. In order to distinguish the Chatham Light from the Highland lighthouse at North Truro, when seen from out on the Atlantic, Chatham was built with two lights - two full light towers, 70 feet apart. Chatham light was known for many years as “Twin Lights”, and is still known by this name by the local fishing community.
The original Twin Lights of 1808, and their 1841 replacement towers, were located substantially to the east of the current lighthouse. At that time, the towers were well over 200 feet back from the bluff, which means the bluff’s edge was located somewhere close to the present waterline on the beach. The location of the first Twin Lights was known as “James Head” at that time, suggesting that the land projected out at that point, with perhaps little beach area below the bluff. It is likely that years of erosion have removed the “head” that gave “James Head” its name. In the 1870’s the erosion of the bluff had become almost 30 feet per year. In 1877, when the bluff had moved to within 50 feet of the towers, the decision was made to build two new light towers at the current location.
In 1923, the Twin Lights were separated. New rotating lenses made the Twin Towers unnecessary; lighthouses were then and now recognized by the interval of their rotating beacon. Even though the lenses rotated, however, the lights continued to burn kerosene. The North Tower was moved to Eastham to become Nauset Light, replacing the three lights that had been known as the “Three Sisters”. The original site of the north tower can be seen on the on the grounds of the Chatham Coast Guard Station, with the concrete base currently home to two “Admiralty” style anchors.
Until 1939, all lighthouses were part of the U.S. Lighthouse Service, a distinct United States department. In 1939, the U.S. Coast Guard assumed the responsibilities of the Bureau of Lighthouses. Chatham Lighthouse was once again updated with state of the art technology; an electric motor replaced the clockwork drive used to rotate the light, and the light itself was electrified.
In 1969, the light’s Fresnel lens was replaced with modern technology. This lens had been installed in 1857, when the Twin Lights still burned lard oil. The old lantern housing and Fresnel lens are now on display on the grounds of the Chatham Historical Society’s Atwood House Museum. That lens is lit whenever the museum is open.
The lighthouse stands today as part of an active duty Coast Guard Station, with a primary mission of Search & Rescue, responsible for the safety of the local fishing fleet and recreational boating community. In 1994, the local U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary flotilla 11-1 assumed the responsibility as the “Keepers of the Light”. Flotilla 11-1 has volunteered countless hours over many years keeping up the light and conducting tours for the public during the summer. ( For the current status of tours of the grounds and/or lighthouse, please see the USCG Auxiliary, Chatham Flotilla website).
Some statistics about Chatham Lighthouse:
- 44 steps to the top landing
- 2.8 million candlepower (approximately 100 times the brightness of each of the Twin Lights when they burned kerosene)
- 2 flashes every 10 seconds
- Can be seen for 24 Nautical Miles (27.6 land miles) | <urn:uuid:6e6ca2ce-1edc-4c07-aaba-624844059816> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.historic-chatham.org/lighthouse.html | 2023-09-27T12:26:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.970045 | 953 |

Disadvantaged Businesses Miss Out on Millions as States Miss DBE Spending Goals
Georgia Government Contracts and Procurement Team leader Keith Wiener spoke with the Kansas City Business Journal about the U.S. Department of Transportation's Disadvantage Business Enterprise (DBE) program and state DBE spending targets. Launched in 1983, the program aims to reduce hurdles for women- and minority-owned companies trying to start or grow business by requiring that government agencies that rely on federal transportation funding set goals for spending with these companies. According to federal data, state departments of transportation hit their goals about 55 percent of the time between 2014 and 2020, potentially costing DBEs millions in additional revenue. Business owners say significant hurdles remain, such as prime contractors wanting to work with the same, non-DBE subcontractors. Mr. Wiener expressed his surprise at that statistic.
"I'd have to say it's surprising to me it's that high of a number," he said. "I would have thought it would have been lower."

Shudder, AMC Networks’ streaming service for horror, thriller and the supernatural, and RLJE Films, a business unit of AMC Networks, today announced their partnership on the newest Shudder Original Film, Destroy All Neighbors. From music-video and commercial director Josh Forbes and starring Jonah Ray Rodrigues (Mystery Science Theater 3000) and Alex Winter (Bill and Ted franchise) who also produce, Destroy All Neighbors will have a day-and-date release in theaters and on Shudder in 2023. The film, which is also produced by Russell Sanzgiri (Michael Bolton’s Big Sexy Valentine’s Day Special), is from an original script written by Mike Benner, Jared Logan, and Charles Pieper.
“We’re so excited for Josh, Jonah and Alex to bring this hilariously dark take on ‘the neighbor from hell’ to our members,’” said Shudder general manager Craig Engler. “Giving this tentpole feature as big of a launchpad as possible with our partners at RLJE Films is sure to get the whole ‘neighborhood’ talking.”
In Destroy All Neighbors, struggling prog-rock musician William Brown (Rodrigues) finds himself in a living nightmare when he accidentally kills Vlad (Winter), the neighbor from hell. Vlad’s disembodied corpse delights in tormenting William, sending him further into madness and impending doom.
“We’re thrilled to be working with Shudder and RLJE on this labor of love,” added Winter. “Our film is a return to the kind of physical effects-driven genre comedy that's all too rare these days."
Casting is underway and production is set to commence this July. | <urn:uuid:a3e8e19e-2c6a-4ad6-90de-c72f69591b80> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.hmuncut.com/post/shudder-and-rlje-films-move-in-together-on-destroy-all-neighbors | 2023-09-27T11:29:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.921254 | 370 |
Helping Central Pennsylvania Families With Divorce
The divorce lawyers at Hoffmeyer & Semmelman are here to make certain your rights are protected during this frequently emotional and combative process. Don’t let your spouse’s counsel take advantage of you. Make certain you have our experienced and aggressive attorneys in your corner. Contact our divorce attorneys today at 717-846-8846.
What Is Divorce?
A divorce is a legal dissolution of a marriage. Completing the process means your marriage is over and you can move on with your life.
Divorce In Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania is a no-fault jurisdiction. This means you do not need to prove that your spouse did something wrong. Fault grounds still exist, but generally are avoided. This is because no-fault divorces can be less combative and do not require proof of bad behavior on the part of either spouse.
How To Get A Divorce In Pennsylvania
There are two types of no-fault divorce in Pennsylvania. They are:
Mutual Consent with Irretrievable Breakdown: In mutual consent, both spouses desire and consent to the end of their marriage.
- Both spouses agree that the marriage is irreparably broken.
- 90 days have passed since the plaintiff filed.
Irretrievable Breakdown – No Mutual Consent: In cases when one spouse desires the end of the marriage, but the other does not, it is appropriate to allege irretrievable breakdown.
- The spouse seeking the divorce files a complaint, alleging that the marriage is irretrievably broken.
- The plaintiff spouse swears that the parties have lived apart for at least two years.
- The defendant spouse fails to deny the statement of the plaintiff spouse, i.e., that the spouses have been living apart and the marriage is unfixable.
There are a number of acceptable grounds for a fault divorce. They include:
- Abandonment for at least one year
- Defendant spouse is convicted of a crime and imprisoned for at least two years
- Defendant spouse engages in conduct that creates an intolerable situation. For example, constant humiliation of plaintiff spouse
- Bigamy, in other words, defendant spouse marries someone else while still married to plaintiff
Why Aggressive Representation Matters
The divorce system is complicated. It is very easy, with the wrong representation, to find yourself responsible for paying more or receiving less than you otherwise would. Spousal support, asset and debt distribution, child custody and support: all of these issues will be addressed during the process. Your financial well-being is at stake, and you will be well-protected by our divorce lawyers. Your children’s future is at stake too. Our custody lawyers will fight for their best interests.
When you retain Hoffmeyer & Semmelman, L.L.C., you can be assured that we will go after the right results for you and your children.

C3X 2017: Boost Your Campus Engagement
Last week’s C3X Annual Conference and Expo in Colorado Springs was such an exciting and informative experience for the Hotel Engine team. After meeting with some of the leaders of 700 higher education institutions and NACAS Business Partners, we walked away with a better understanding of the challenges and creative solutions impacting today’s campuses.
But where did we fit in? Interestingly, many people first thought Hotel Engine was an on-campus hotel management company. Instead, we’re a private hotel booking platform that offers exclusive wholesale rates at 150,000+ hotels, both on college campuses and beyond worldwide. Our users save an average of 26% off public rates through completely free memberships, making it an appealing tool for any budget-conscious traveler or institution. It was exciting to have such a warm reception from attendees interested in enhancing their campus engagement and auxiliary services with something like this!
During the four-day conference and expo, we learned a lot about how we can better support educational institutions and their campus-wide communities. Here are our key takeaways:
Hotel Engine can be a new and exclusive offering for staff, students, and their families.
We saw the greatest interest from institutions wanting to offer a unique travel perk to their campus community. Specifically, many shared that staff members would greatly benefit from a centralized hotel booking platform that saved them money on every trip, from academic conferences to out-of-state recruiting events. Students would also welcome savings while traveling during school breaks or even for weekend excursions while studying abroad (we have hotels in 185+ countries!).
For students’ parents and families, Hotel Engine is a fantastic booking tool for move-in and move-out weekends, as well as homecoming and family days. Plus, Hotel Engine offers educational institutions a 2% revenue share on all bookings made by their staff, students, and their families. All of these groups can benefit from Hotel Engine’s savings, which would, in turn, help the university as a whole!
Most universities and colleges are missing a travel perk like this.
We weren’t surprised that many of the educational institutions represented at the conference had never heard of us. It was clear that within the campus engagement industry, a travel perk such as ours really isn’t being taken advantage of yet.
However, with Hotel Engine, you have the unique opportunity to be one of the first in higher education to do so. With no service costs, unlimited free accounts, and a quarterly revenue share, your university can both enrich campus engagement while creating a net new revenue stream. We at Hotel Engine want to help enhance the experiences of students and faculty on campuses across the country through more affordable travel.

Sinead O'Connor will be performing her own songs, and some select hits from the Songbook of Shane MacGowan in Thurles this September.
Those making the Trip to Tipp this September will get the opportunity to listen to a fantastic selection of acts curated by Tom Dunne of Something Happens, who performed at FÉILE ‘90, ‘91 and ’93, and will this year also be returning to the stage alongside some of the most legendary names in Irish rock and roll, including the one and only Sinead O’Connor.
A host of other music acts from across the decades will be out in force, from Sultans of Ping to Horslips and Therapy? bringing everyone right back to the glory days of the nineties music scene. Other headline acts include The Stunning, EMF, The Frank and Walters, The Fat Lady Sings, Transvision Vamp, Something Happens, Eleanor McEvoy, Picturehouse, Jerry Fish and Mundy.
The line-up also includes Brian Downey’s Alive & Dangerous plus Eric Bell and guests Andrew Strong & Bronagh Gallager performing songs from Thin Lizzy’s Live & Dangerous. Attendees will be treated to a very special tribute to Tipperary legend Shane MacGowan.
Unlike the rough and tumble of the old days, Semple Stadium now offers a gourmet food area called Food For Life curated by renowned chef Kevin Thornton, a host of beverage options, easy parking and plenty of accommodation options nearby. This is FÉILE with less mud but just the same amount of madness and music!
Commenting on the launch of FÉILE 19, curator Tom Dunne said: "Last year’s Féile was the gig of the year for me and all the bands involved. So, to see this line up with the original Féile name back is very exciting! Féile to everyone means Thurles, Semple Stadium, the early 90’s, mad crowds, great fun and a truly wonderful generation of great Irish bands. This year's line-up is better still. You will laugh. You will cry. It is time once again to… get the gang back together! This will be special. "

Show Rundown: Monday January 20, 2015
Pete Wentz Tells All
Pete Wentz Tells All
Pete Wentz is the bassist—and the sex symbol—of the hit band Fall Out Boy and something of a legendary Stern Show guest.
Not in terms of frequent appearances, but in terms of revealing discussion (not to mention the consequences).
Here are the highlights from Howard’s conversation with Pete Wentz:
He was married to his ‘dream girl’ Ashlee Simpson at the time of his last interview—and so excited that he couldn’t help but spill the beans about their epic romance. He talked about making love to Ashlee for the first time in front of a mirror and looking at himself, amazed that he was with his ultimate fantasy.
He also talked about giving her anal sex, which she wasn’t too thrilled with. Pete told Howard this morning that his male buddies all saw his last appearance as a beautiful tribute to his wife but she didn’t exactly see it that way.
Pete also admitted that there was a little bit of a Yoko Ono thing in terms of Ashlee’s relationship with her Fall Out Boy bandmates—John Lennon also became ‘Mr. Mom,’ if you remember.
His Stern Show interview probably contributed to their divorce, but it wasn’t the sole reason. When Ashlee and Pete had their son, Bronx, Pete gave the music a rest, grew a beard, and became ‘Mr. Mom.’
He also became very unhappy and went through a difficult time. When Howard asked Pete if he felt betrayed by Ashlee for breaking up with him at his worst, he felt like it was part of the overall issue.
“I’d be an idiot to think I didn’t contribute to the unraveling of it, but you get perspective,” he admitted.
After their divorce, Pete got himself together for a little while, but then quickly started dating a woman who is now the mother of his second child (he even Instagrams naked shots of her in bed and yes, he’s still having sex in front of mirrors).
Howard asked Pete about the time he played Russian roulette when he was younger. Pete admitted he was on a “buffet of things” (prescription drugs) at the time and he didn’t actually pull the trigger.
As for his aggressive piercings, Pete did have his penis pierced but he took the piercing out eventually. While you recoil in pain, the cock piercing wasn’t even the most painful of Pete’s piercings—his septum piercing won that contest.
Anyway, Pete seems to be doing very well now, and Fall Out Boy have a brand new album out today called American Beauty/American Psycho. Check it out! | <urn:uuid:128a91a6-7063-497a-9cce-a1459f18aa7a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.howardstern.com/show/2015/1/20/pete-wentz-tells-all-RundownGalleryModel-22077/ | 2023-09-27T11:15:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.984745 | 600 |
The Downstairs Neighbor by Helen Cooper, 2021
Emma and Zeb
Steph and Paul and their daughter Freya
Chris and Vicky
In the past, Kate, her mom, and her cousin Becca
Get it on Amazon.
Thank you to Putnam Books for a gifted copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
The Plot (from Goodreads):
From her downstairs apartment in suburban London, Emma has often overheard the everyday life of the seemingly perfect family upstairs–Steph, Paul and teenage daughter Freya–but has never got to know them. Until one day, she hears something that seizes her attention: Freya has vanished and the police are questioning Steph and Paul about their life. Do either of you have any enemies? Anyone who might want to harm or threaten you?
The effects of Freya’s disappearance ripple outward, affecting not just her parents, but everyone who lives in the building, including Emma and local driving instructor Chris, who was the last person to see the teenager before she went missing. Each character’s life is thrown into sharp focus as devastating mistakes and long-held secrets are picked apart and other crimes come to light–including a child gone missing 25 years before, and a shocking murder–that make clear that the past never stays where we leave it, and that homes can be built on foundations of lies.
I have been reading a ton of amazing debuts lately, and The Downstairs Neighbor certainly continues that trend.
This story is told mostly in the present, through the perspectives of the various residents of the same apartment building: Emma, Steph, Chris, and Paul. The reader quickly learns that all of these individuals have secrets, but which ones are related to Freya’s disappearance?
There are also a few chapters from the point of view of Kate, 25 years in the past. Who is Kate?? I was eager to figure out what her storyline had to do with the present, and whether it would tie into Freya’s disappearance.
I enjoyed the pacing of this book. The beginning was a little slower with a lot of backstory, but it quickly picks up into an action-packed page turner.
The ending wrapped all of the perspectives together in a very satisfying way. My guess at the kidnapper was completely wrong! Overall, I see this book easily becoming another wildly popular thriller. I can’t wait to see what Helen Cooper has in store for us next!
The Downstairs Neighbor will be available next week on February 16, 2021. | <urn:uuid:e1936c27-e1c0-4051-aade-8f0c912d974e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.howdidthatbookend.com/the-downstairs-neighbor-helen-cooper/ | 2023-09-27T11:52:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.969092 | 537 |

Sen. Evan Bayh, Hillary Clinton's chief surrogate in the state of Indiana, defended a pledge made by the New York Democrat to "obliterate" Iran should the country launch a nuclear attack the state of Israel. Though he acknowledged, without provocation, that Clinton's remarks illustrated the dangers of responding to hypothetical questions.
"Now the hypothetical, and maybe this is a good reason why it is best not to respond to hypothetical. If the hypothetical is the nation of Iran wiping out Israel in a nuclear attack, I would hope our president would have a vigorous response to that and not sit idly by and watch millions of people be killed," said Bayh, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee. "In fact, taking a strong stance beforehand probably minimizes a chance of that thing happening. If you give the Iranians any reason to believe there wouldn't be a vigorous response, well, you don't want that to happen."
Bayh offered a similar defense for Clinton's pledge -- made in the recent Democratic debate -- to build an "umbrella of deterrence" for Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the UAE. "If the Iranians try to get a stranglehold on the world's petroleum supplies, through naked aggression, I would hope our country would have a vigorous response to that," he offered.
But the Indiana Democrat did veer slightly from the Clinton talking points path when asked about the other recent campaign flare-up: whether or not it was legitimate for Senator Barack Obama to describe John McCain as an improvement over President Bush. In the days leading up to the Pennsylvania primary, Clinton criticized Obama for favorably comparing the GOP nominee to the president. On Tuesday, however, Bayh acknowledged that, at least on the issue of global warming, McCain would be better than Bush.
"I think that John deserves credit for stepping up on [global warming]," said the Indiana Democrat. "[Comparing him to Bush] is setting the bar pretty low... John is a good person whose service to this country I personally admire."
From there, however, Bayh quickly cast McCain as an extension of the Bush administration.
"What I think [Clinton] was saying was that he apparently has embraced the economic policies of George Bush and the Iraq policies of Dick Cheney and is not really the John McCain of 2000, the iconoclastic outsider and the reformer, some of those vestiges have seemingly dropped away and I think that is unfortunate."
With the Indiana primary approaching in a matter of weeks, Bayh is poised to be a major asset for Clinton in the state. Already an active advocate, the senator had just conducted two television interviews and was on his way to participate in a Clinton campaign conference call when he made time to talk with The Huffington Post. He downplayed the acrimony of the Democratic primary and urged for a resolution of the situations in Florida and Michigan (whose votes weren't officially sanctioned by the DNC) before deciding on a nominee. Overall, he pledged, the party, at least in Indiana, would benefit not suffer from the lengthy process.
"In the long run, this will be good for the party," he said. "Here is the dilemma we face. The Republicans almost always carry Indiana for president but the Democrat almost never tries. And if you don't try, of course you aren't going to win. And so the net result of this primary process, as long as it doesn't become bitterly divisive, is that we have tens of thousands of more volunteers, thousands of new contributors, hundreds of thousands of new voter registrants. And all of that will help with gubernatorial race, congressional races, and in the fall make it more competitive for whoever our nominee is." | <urn:uuid:6f6dd364-0f0d-4b10-896a-af8b7aad91ff> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.huffpost.com/entry/evan-bayh-defends-clinton_n_98240 | 2023-09-27T12:27:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.969708 | 749 |
Prior to retiring in 2019, I was the Program Leader for Cornell NutritionWorks, an online professional development program for nutrition and health practitioners. As Program Leader I oversaw the content and structure of the website, plus developed marketing and evaluation strategies. For 38 years I was responsible for interpreting and communicating research-based information on food and nutrition issues to extension educators, other professionals, consumers, and the media.
My most recent interests focused on providing continuing professional education to practitioners worldwide using distance technology, primarily in two areas: 1) using policy, systems, and environmental (PSE) approaches to promote healthy eating and physical activity, and 2) maternal nutrition and infant and young child feeding. More information on how to access online courses on these topics currently available can be found on Cornell NutritionWorks.

We’re in a world of right now.
It’s hard to imagine anything beyond the next 10 minutes, much less the next 10 days. Everything feels so urgent. We need to mask up right now. We need to know what’s going on with our schools right now. We need to refresh our timelines and know what tomfoolery is happening in the world of old, white men “leading” our country right now.
Of course, there are things that can’t, and shouldn’t, wait. We need to dismantle the systems that continue to uphold white supremacy. We need to arrest the murderers of Breonna Taylor. And we need to figure out what to do, as teachers, knowing we are being sent back into our buildings very soon (if not already).
But here’s the thing: in all this uncertainty and short-sightedness, we’re forgetting that eventually, someday, we will be out of this quagmire of time. We don’t know what the world will look like, but this will be another chapter in our lives that will end and upon which we will be able to look back.
So I ask you: how will you remember your navigation of this year?
Will you be glad that you banned students from eating or drinking on Zoom calls? Will you feel proud that you taught your students responsibility by making them change out of their pajamas as they sat in front of their computers for hours each day?
Will you protect your dignity if you outline your expectations of quiet places and no interruptions before your new students even get to know your name?
Will you be glad that you kept your head down and did your job as your district mandated practices that you knew would not be good for children? Will you feel a sense of relief that you never pushed back and asked questions?
How will you feel when you look back, knowing you read the n-word out loud in a class despite all the voices telling you not to? Will you be proud that you dragged your students through another year of The Scarlet Letter?
What will you do with your stack of books bought in the wake of the murder of George Floyd? Will they gather dust? Be boxed away? Will you crack their spines and engage in online discussion? And then will you turn around and continue to be silent and complicit in the violence against BIPOC in our nation?
And how will that make you feel?
What shame might you carry forward in your silence?
What words might surface when you turn and look back at the times someone tried to correct you and you jumped to defensiveness?
Will you miss the money you spent on culturally appropriated, plagiarized lessons? Will you notice the look in the eyes of the Latinx parents you proudly invited to Taco Night? Will you take pictures of the students you dressed in construction paper feathers and headbands for the Thanksgiving play? Will you continue to stumble over words like “Indian” and “Native American” but never bother to learn your way out of what you never knew?
How will you feel when you remember how you complained to your coworkers about your students’ laziness and disengagement during this time? Would you feel any differently if you knew what those students were really struggling with?
Do you think your students will remember how you decorated the wall behind you on your video conferences?
Will you still feel angry when you asked for free labor from a BIPOC and they said no? Will you feel righteous? Will you still be convinced you did nothing wrong?
Will you remember the student whose deadname you kept using? The student you continued to misgender?
How will you feel, in years on, when you can still only point to quotes from Martin Luther King, Jr. as evidence of your anti-racism? Do you think it’s enough?
Do you think anyone will keep that mask you branded and sold while hundreds of thousands were dying?
Will you still be proud of your grading policy? Will you be glad that you never gave 100% on a single essay because there was no such thing as a perfect paper? Will you smile as you remember your reputation as a “tough” teacher? Will you remember the rubrics you made? The way it felt to hand a paper back with an 89% and not a 90% at the top?
Will you remember the kids that failed your class in the midst of a global pandemic?
When you turn around and look back at this chapter of your life, it may be hard to see beyond your own anxiety and woes. It may be hard to understand how your impact outweighed your intent. It may be easy to see how you did the best you could. It may be easy to see how you got overwhelmed in the tangled narratives spilling from the mouths of many.
But I hope when we come out of this, you can look back and remember your humanity. Because your students will certainly remember yours.
We don’t know what the world will look like, but this will be another chapter in our lives that will end and upon which we will be able to look back. | <urn:uuid:207ab324-d391-4ad2-977a-c5d46c404d5c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.humanrestorationproject.org/writing/hindsight | 2023-09-27T12:15:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.957332 | 1,140 |

“Foundation for Peace to Improve Human Rights”
Date and Time: Saturday, April 2nd, 2022, 8:30PM (KST)
Location: Online (Zoom)
Topics: Human Rights, Institutionalization of Peace
Host: HWPL Daegu-Gyeongbuk Branch
Mr. Ramesh Bhan, Chief of Bureau, India’s premier News Agency
Mr. Nachiket Anil Dave, Advocate, India
Mr. Sania Dua, Chief of Women department, All India Human Rights Association
Mr. Achankunju P.C, Founding Chairman, Human Rights Foundation
The webinar was held to emphasize the need for peace as an institution that must be observed throughout our lives, not simply as a recommended moral standard. Participants, who have worked in various fields to raise awareness of human rights, discussed the elements of peace that should be emphasized to raise awareness of peace among the citizens of Delhi.
“The way to protect human rights can be different depending on the situation and the times. But its standards and definitions must remain unchanged. We need stronger institutions for the sake of peace that deserves to be guaranteed.”
On April 2, 2022, HWPL (Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light) hosted the “Foundation for peace to improve human rights” webinar.
The Webinar was held to emphasize the need for peace as an institution that must be observed throughout our lives, not simply as a recommended moral standard.
Attendees at this seminar including lawyers, human rights activists, local government officials, and media, who have worked to promote human rights awareness in their respective fields in India, discussed the elements of peace that should be emphasized to raise awareness of peace among the citizens of Delhi.
Considering the characteristics of India, where 1.4 billion people of different religions, ethnicities, and languages coexist, discrimination and disputes over different affiliations are inevitable. From family communities to national communities, it is necessary to introduce peace as a system that has an obligation to protect, not just peace as a recommended moral standard.
Through this webinar, participants were able to discuss various elements of human rights violations that are not regulated by the current law and to share various opinions on elements of peace that should be institutionalized for the improvement of human rights issues and the qualitative growth of civil society.
Points of discussion
Mr. Ramesh Bhan addressed that the way to protect human rights can be different depending on the situation and the times, but its standards and definitions must remain unchanged. And He emphasized the need for stronger institutions for the sake of peace that deserves to be guaranteed. He also added that the State and Media should show more interest in human rights and peace-related movements.
Mr. Nachiket Anil Dave focused on education as a fundamental solution to raising awareness of peace. He addressed that education has strong power and he emphasized the need for HWPL to apply its peace education curriculum widely so that the concept of peace that civil society aims for can be formed well.
Ms. Sania Dua also agreed with the importance of education for peaceful coexistence. She addressed that to raise awareness of peace, education at the level of each country and culture is necessary, and a system to block factors that hinder peace is also needed. And she added that there are many organizations established to protect peace, but their functions are not really working.
Mr. Achankunju P.C. said international peace is important but to achieve this, peace should be found in the community first and should be continued. He stressed the need to prepare standards and methods to realize peace immediately, from family communities to global villages.
Ramesh Bhan: We need stronger institutions for the sake of peace that deserves to be guaranteed.
Nachiket Anil Dave: I know how to establish peace institutionally. I think HWPL’s peace education curriculum is the answer for it. We all know that education has strong power.
Sania Dua: Peace is a right that we deserve and is synonymous with human rights. When peace is threatened, it means human rights are threatened.
Achankunju P.C: Peace should be found in the community first and it should be continued.
We will continue to hold webinars to discuss the elements of peace that must be practically implemented to enhance the awareness of peace in the community.

Lepanto Mining is one of the oldest mining companies in the Philippines, dating back to 1936. Most of its activities are located in the resource rich mountains of Benguet, which are located in the Cordillera Administrative Region, north of Manila, on the main island of Luzon.
The Lepanto mines are located in Mankayan, Benguet where the company has about a thousand employees. Since 1997, the company has largely focused on its gold mining operations in the Victoria and Teresa deposits, but in 2017 it resumed copper mining as well.
As part of an effort to improve productivity and safety standards, the management embarked on a project to update its communications system. The existing communication solution was a wired telephony system, which was prone to downtime and only provided limited coverage.
The main challenge was to provide reliable and seamless communications between the surface and underground areas of operation. Lepanto also wanted the ability to track personnel inside the mine tunnels.
Lepanto also needed rugged and durable radio units able to operate safely and continuously in the high humidity and wet working environment of the mines. The radio units also needed to provide loud, clear audio in a high-noise environment, so that critical messages could be heard.
Hytera and its local partner Microbiz One Inc. of Manila, selected a Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) two-way radio solution based on VHF frequencies. Two Hytera RD98XS DMR conventional repeaters provide enough channel and talk groups to meet the operational and safety requirements.
The repeaters are linked together using the Hytera IP Site Connect solution. The signal is distributed along the underground tunnels using a leaky feeder, radiating cable system. This delivers the required geographic coverage, capacity and roaming functionality to enable seamless communications between the surface and underground areas.
MD78XG (with GPS positioning services) and MD65X mobile base radios were installed at key points in the underground tunnels to provide calling stations. Mining personnel were issued with PD78XG DMR hand portable radios with integrated GPS, so mine workers can be tracked and monitored within the vicinity, making it much easier to locate them if there is an accident or if someone needs help.
The PD78XG radios feature a large-size display screen for status updates and text messaging. The radios are compliant with MIL-STD 810 C/D/E/F for resistance to shock, drops and vibration and IP67 standards for resistance to dust and moisture ingress.
The Lepanto mines now have a mobile two-way radio system, which ensures reliable communications between the surface areas and underground operations. This helps deliver more efficient operations, better productivity and an enhanced safety regime for mining personnel.
The digital radio delivers a better audio quality able to cope with the noisy conditions at the mines and wider coverage to ensure there are no communication ‘not-spots’. The ruggedized radio terminals provide a good long term investment as they are highly durable and able to withstand harsh environments, high, humid temperatures, knocks and drops. | <urn:uuid:27a04c06-0ea9-416b-9c95-1e0f7adcce4e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.hytera.com/en-industries/case-study/utilities-energy/hytera-dmr-system-for-philippines-mining-operation/ | 2023-09-27T11:25:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.948977 | 622 |

The American Boxing Confederation’s (AMBC) Continental Forum is to take place today in Brasilia. IBA President Umar Kremlev arrived in Brazil to address the National Federations and participate in an interactive session with members.
The event is aimed to unite National Federations (NFs) of the American continents and provide them with timely IBA updates, as well as encouraging their projects and supporting ideas about boxing development in the respective countries.
‘We continue delivering Forums, including continental ones, as the direct communication with our member National Federations is very important for us,’ President Kremlev said. ‘IBA will keep supporting its NFs no matter what, as they are here to raise the grassroot boxers, who are the foundation of our future. We will invest more in the local projects to support boxing at the national level even more.’
AMBC President and IBA Board of Directors member Jose Laureano stated that the American continents are very keen to keep unity and prepare for the AMBC American Boxing Championships for elite, youth and junior age categories that will take place between 31 June and 10 August 2023 in Cali, Colombia.
‘We are looking forward to delivering an amazing large-scale event for our continent, and this AMBC Forum will bring us together ahead of that to discuss the most pressing questions in our agenda. I appreciate the openness and readiness to engage by President Kremlev, and I will support him in his mission to deliver the best for the American continents,’ Laureano said.
Earlier during his visit to Brazil, President Kremlev met with Juliana Picoli Agatte, Executive Secretary of the Brazilian Ministry of Sport. They discussed different topics concerning position of boxing in the country, equipment of new halls and future competitions.
‘I came to Brazil to support development of boxing in the country. Yesterday I had a chance to train with the national team, they are very strong athletes with a good boxing school. With the assistance of the sports ministry boxing will growth to maintain one of the main national sports.’ Mr. Kremlev said. | <urn:uuid:393a998a-52f0-44b3-91bf-82803f0b5458> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.iba.sport/news/ambc-continental-forum-in-brasilia-to-welcome-iba-president/ | 2023-09-27T11:28:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.966255 | 438 |
Innovations and their implementation are often lengthy processes in the construction industry. Especially in structural engineering and transport infrastructure construction, people often rely on the "tried and tested".
Bundled in the "Building" cluster on the RWTH Aachen Campus, the Center Building and Infrastructure Engineering (CBI) wants to use trends together with industry and implement innovations and technology transfers more efficiently and quickly. In addition, the CBI would like to achieve a faster transfer into regulations and approvals. This is because standardisation and approval processes still hinder the transfer from the laboratory to the construction site. | <urn:uuid:3951d476-972a-41c1-8c8a-19870e418d90> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.ibac-cp.rwth-aachen.de/en/kompetenzzentrum/ | 2023-09-27T12:30:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.95147 | 119 |
With the geofence option in IBI you’re able to track deliveries even better. When delivering medicines for example, you must be sure that the goods are delivered at the correct addres. With the option “Save location after finishing an address” switched on in the settings, the delivery location is stored.
When the destinated delivery address is too far from the location where the delivery is reported ready, a message will appear. Although the user can override this message, it will be remarked in the mailed delivery list.
Wikipedia: Geo-fence – Geo-fence is a virtual perimeter for a real world geographic area.
In this example, two streetnames look alike and a mistake of wrong delivery may occur. IBI prevents from delivering at an incorrect address. | <urn:uuid:08e33b55-b581-4ca3-8270-78efb186e0aa> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.ibi-app.com/en/geofencing/ | 2023-09-27T11:04:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.911657 | 164 |
Manufacturing of Castor Oil
Castor oil is extracted either by hot pressing or cold pressing to extract the initial oil content. The remaining oil content is extracted using a solvent extraction technique typically involving n-hexane as the solvent. The oil is refined and packed for dispatch in liquid form. The leftover extracted solid is known as de-oiled cake.
Castor Oil Characteristics
Castor oil is a triglyceride of fatty acids. It is unique in that it contains 85-90% of Ricinoleic Acid (12-hydroxyoctadec-9-enoic acid), a rare source of 18 carbon hydroxylated fatty acid with 1 double bond.
Grades of Castor Oil:
- First Special (FSG)
- Pale Pressed (PP)
Castor Oil Applications:
- Engineering Plastics: Used to make monomers for nylon 6,10; nylon 10,10; nylon 11.
- Surfactants: Surfactants made from castor oil are used in textiles, agrochemical formulations, pharmaceuticals and paints.
- Cosmetics: Lipsticks, glosses, nail polish lacquers, eye mascara, rouge and skin creams.
- Pharmaceutical: Excipients, laxatives.
- Coatings: Used in polyurethane systems and alkyd based resins.
- Adhesives: Used in polyurethane adhesives, rubber-based adhesives and binders.
- Electrical: Used as a dielectric liquid impregnant for capacitors.
De-Oiled Castor Meal Applications.
- Fertilizer: Used as an organic fertilizer due to its excellent blend of N:P:K (4:1:1) with micronutrients such as Zinc, Manganese and Copper. This nourishes the soil over longer periods of time. Used for tea, coffee, sugarcane, potato, tobacco, vegetables, fruits and pulses.
- Fuel: Used as a renewable fuel due to its comparable calorific value with coal.

The exam is the most crucial time for the students as they have to prepare well to get good marks. Every subject needs the proper study and students should allocate equal time to different subjects to strengthen their concepts during the preparation of the exams. Most students prefer to use the standardized test measure to analyze their preparation level. It is pertinent to mention here the students should not only rely upon the test preparation materials. So always use the creative and innovative approach especially while preparing for the math of 9th class. Use several strategies to understand the concept in a better way. Following are some of the strategies that you should adopt to plan the annual exams of your 9th class of mathematics.
Use A Testing Pathway
After preparing and understanding one topic/one chapter use the testing pathway to evaluate your learning. Solve the formative assessments to ensure better preparation and make sure to integrate the testing procedure in the preparation of the whole subject. Also, solve the short quiz after every lesson to get to know about the math skill covered in everyday lessons.
Observe The Dynamics
While preparing for the math the students cannot use the cramming method. The students often get stuck in the math and for this purpose, the best thing to do is to observe the dynamics and talk with the other students to understand the lesson plans.
Connect Math To Various Learning Areas
Math is connected to various other learning areas and it makes the preparation of the students in many ways. Math is linked to the world so read the books with the math connection and talk about the ways in which math integrates with the other subjects.
Play Math Games
Games are the best way of learning as the students enjoy and learn as well. So play the various math games and make the learning more fun while promoting mathematical thinking, understanding of operations, and strategic approach. The games also play a significant role in foster learning for some extra practice.
In the subject of mathematics there so much abstract material so hands-on learning is the best way to make the conceptual concrete. So incorporate the math wherever possible such as use the use LEGO bricks to learn about a variety of math skills.
Math is not all about memorizing formulas and procedures it goes beyond the process of memorization. It has been said that memorization does not enhance the learning capabilities of the students. Set the goals and create space for exploration to develop the understanding of the subject. Use the different strategies to solve the problem rather than using the conventional methods to solve the mathematical problems.
Choose Meaningful Tasks
The real-life problems make the students excited about the math such as the sixth graders finds it fun to do the tasks related to the determination of the area and the house redesign by providing them the dimensions of the walls and the size of the window or r ask them to count how many tiles will be required to fill a deck. In this way, problem-based learning will help the students to prepare the math for the annual exams.
Take Care of You, Too!
Final exams are somehow difficult can be stressful but it is very important to take care of you, too, and your mental and physical health. Make sure to get plenty of sleep before the exam, take regular study breaks, and remember to have some “me” time to refresh your mind.

To say that Ashton was in a bad way when was he was found and rescued is an understatement. He was brought into an animal shelter with both of his eyes basically popped out of their sockets, and showing many other forms of abuse and neglect. Today, Ashton has a forever family according to the Arizona Humane Society.
The two-year-old dog was found wandering the streets with both of his eyes so badly damaged, they were propping out of his head. He had been picked up by someone, and brought to emergency animal medical technicians with the Arizona Humane Society, and he was rushed into surgery.
They were able to save Ashton, but not his eye, leaving him blind. One of the eyes, according to surgeons, had been damaged in that way for quite some time, and the other was a bit more recent. No matter what, both had to be removed, which would make finding a forever home a bit more difficult.
Medical staff has been helping Ashton adapt to life as a blind dog, and his new forever family will have to have saint-like patience with him as he adapts, but his new family is confident that they can provide for him a great place to live, and all of the love and understanding that he’ll need to have a happy life.
Even though things did not at all start off well in life for Ashton, he is described as full of pep and life, and a very, very sweet dog. His new family promises to do whatever they have to make Ashton’s life a really great one from here on out. | <urn:uuid:3e34bd2f-a23a-4c2d-b70c-8dff68115b95> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.ilovedogsandpuppies.com/dog-found-eyes-damaged-gets-forever-home/ | 2023-09-27T11:17:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.996145 | 322 |

Sensors have evolved from simple measuring tools to smart appliances that are connected through the internet to the cloud and to each other. At the recent ISSCC-conference, researchers from imec & Holst Centre have presented a number of remarkable developments. Nick Van Helleputte, Team leader biomedical circuits and systems, explains how these developments may pave the way to a world where sensors assist us to drive more safely, live more healthy, and make the planet more sustainable.
Sensors become the senses of our environment
Our environment will slowly but surely evolve into an ‘Internet of Things’, where chips and sensors are integrated invisibly in the environment to assume their manifold tasks. Think of sensors that detect the presence of individuals and adapt the light in a building accordingly, resulting in serious energy savings. Those sensors will be, in a sense, the eyes, ears, and noses of our environment.
Ubiquitous sensors will make their mark in many domains. Smart buildings, of course, but also self-driving cars and automated industrial and logistic processes. And, essential for a more sustainable future, sensors will be of great help to tackle environmental issues. If we are able to measure the quality of air and water continuously and in a fine-grained way, and we can collect the data centrally, it may be possible to take better-directed actions, and immediately measure the results.
But also in the domain of healthcare, there are great opportunities. Think of simple tools such as weighting scales, blood pressure monitors, or heart and activity monitors that will send their data (secured!) to the cloud. There, the data may be analyzed and become the basis for new services to coach patients to lead a healthier life. This type of connected healthcare is already applied on a small scale with high-risk patients. But as the technology becomes smarter and cheaper, it could serve many more.
Sensors will have an influence in many sectors. Here are some artist impressions of possible applications of integrated sensoring: smart food labeling, personal signage using LEDs, thermoflex patches, air quality necklace, water poution monitoring, plant health monitoring.
TREND 1 - Sensor Fusion: combining sensors for a better result
Sensors won’t have an easy time. As they have to function day in, day out, they will have to leave their comfort zone and get used to highly variable temperatures, humidity, aridity, and vibrations. They will have to keep on working in harsh conditions and still deliver reliable results.
One of the possibilities is sensor fusion: measuring the same physical parameter with a number of different sensors. Someone’s heartbeat, e.g. can be monitored electrically, optically and even acoustically. By combining the results of the sensors and interpreting the result, it is possible to arrive at a robust and reliable result. Also context awareness could be added. E.g. a sensor that ‘feels’ that a person has started sleeping, communicates this result to a second sensor that has the task to monitor the heart at rest. So one sensor flags the ideal moment for the other sensor to start work.
At ISSCC, researcher Mario Konijnenburg from Holst Centre/imec presented some remarkable results. Together with a colleague, he developed a chip that is able to measure several body parameters at the same time: an electrocardiogram (ECG), bio-impedance (BIO-Z, electrical conductivity of the body revealing the composition of body tissues), galvanic skin response (GSR, changes in the electrical properties of the skin due to e.g. stress), and photoplethysmogram (PPG, changes in the blood circulation in tissues due to changing light absorption). Because these data are collected on one chip, it is perfectly possible to synchronize them and look for correlations. The combinations of measurements allows e.g. a reliable way to deduce heartbeat and heart rate variability. And (relative) blood pressure can be deduced by interpreting the ECG- and PPG measurements.
TREND2 - Local Processing: processing data on the chip is energy efficient
Data from the sensors chip are wirelessly sent to the cloud (e.g. through a smartphone or laptop). In the cloud, the data are processed and interpreted. Presently, 80% of the energy consumed by the sensors is used by the wireless link. So if the sensor has to be made more energy-efficient, it should send less data. This can be done by processing and interpreting the data partly on the sensors, only sending the results to the cloud. Of course, processing on the chip will also consume energy, so part of the researchers’ task is to find the optimal balance between on-chip processing and sending data to the cloud.
If the sensor has to do more local processing, it will need one or more additional processing cores. Advanced chip technologies are ideal to integrate more powerful processing on an already very small chip. But, as the world is analog, we still need to add analogue interfaces to our sensors. And these don’t scale so well into the newest technology nodes. In his ISSCC paper, imec researcher Rachit Mohan describes a sensor readout chip made in 40nm CMOS. The new chip operates with a time-based technique instead of the traditional voltage- or power-based techniques. Such time-based circuits may operate on a lower supply voltage. Also, the transition to the digital domain in the amplifier chain is much faster, and filtering can be done digitally. This makes the technique attractive to implement in the deeply-scaled technologies that also allow implementing more powerful data processing.

TREND 3 - Adaptive & Compressive Sampling: monitoring only when it is needed
Another technique to save energy and send as little data as possible through the wireless link of a sensor is adaptive and compressive sampling. With this technique, signals are not measured and sent at fixed time intervals, but according to the characteristics of the signal that is monitored. Consider e.g. the ECG heart monitoring. At the moment of the ECG peak, there is much more information to measure than during the intervening intervals between the peaks. As a result, the sensor can sample the heart signals at short intervals during the peak and at longer intervals in between. All in all, there will be a reliable ECG monitoring with fewer measuring points and fewer data to send.
At ISSCC, imec researcher Pamela Venkata Rajesh showed a readout chip for photoplethysmogram measurements (PPG) based on LED-light and using compressive sampling. The PPG results allow to deduce both heart beat and heart rate variability. They are a nice alternative for ECG monitoring because they don’t require the use of electrodes on the patient’s chest. On the minus side, the sensor’s LED light that shines through the skin needs additional energy, which is a serious drain on the energy budget of the small sensor chip. Therefore, it is important that the measurements can be done with compressive sampling, measuring less but smarter data points.

Thanks to these and other developments, sensors improve every day, ready to take their place in our environments and lives. Other technologies that will be needed in this IoT-scenario are collecting and interpreting big data in the cloud, flexible electronics, and new standards for low-power radios. Looking at the 16 ISSCC-contributions, we are well on our way to bringing the Internet of Things to reality.

An FET possess a T-shaped gate. The fresh new FET keeps an excellent halo diffusion worry about-aligned for the base part of the T and you may an extension diffusion worry about lined up to the top part. The major and you will bottom servings of your T-formed door should be molded out of levels from sexy Belgier Frauen one or two various other content, such germanium and silicone polymer. The two levels are designed together. Then open edges of the bottom level is actually precisely chemically responded additionally the effect items are etched off to deliver the notch. In another embodiment, the fresh new entrance is created of 1 gate conductor. A material is actually conformally deposited with each other sidewalls, recess engraved to expose a high part of the sidewalls, and you can hot to create silicide collectively base servings. The latest silicide is etched to provide the notch.
Which invention basically means included circuit potato chips. Far more such as for example it describes field effect transistors (FET). Way more such it describes a much better FET with an effective T-shaped gate.
The speed off a keen FET is simply determined by the length along the door; transistors which have a smaller door conductor distance keeps a smaller spacing between supply and you may sink and so are faster.

We are actively and happily involved in empowerment initiatives for farmers in the arid and semi-arid regions of East Africa. In such places, conventional farming is less viable and alternative approaches are welcome. Further, such communities are marginalized with poor infrastructure and limited economic opportunities. By offering value addition for agroforestry produce, we are providing opportunities for these farmers, mostly women to gain dignified livelihoods.
We are committed to advancing this mission through initiatives such as farmer training, the establishment of grassroots processing infrastructure, the provision of farmer training, and contracted production. Value addition for these products not only provides economic opportunities but also helps to control rural-urban migration in such areas. Further, we have a network of about 150 middle-level retailers who solely rely on our products for their stocking thereby providing them with business opportunities.
Deforestation is a major cause of environmental degradation and a driver of climate change. By adding value to agroforestry produce, we are incentivizing this venture thereby promoting environmental conservation. Species such as the Shea and Baobab trees are indigenous to Africa and through value addition, we are promoting the preservation of the rich distinctive biodiversity of Africa.

Our honourable governor, His Excellency, Dr. Sayed Ahmed passed away yesterday noon before completing his term. His demise is condoles by each and every citizen of the country. Manipur Government too expressing deep shock over his demise has declare state holiday today besides paying a three days’ mourning as a mark of respect to his Excellency. As notified by the state government a condolence meeting was paid to the great leader at Old Secretariat office today morning. From Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh to all VVIPs of the state government attended the condolence meeting. I. Hemochandra , the vibrant Minister of the Obobi government has also been sent to represent the state government to attend the funeral ceremony to be performed at Mumbai.
Dr. Sayed Ahmed was sworn in as the 16th governor of Manipur on May 16 2015. He serves the post for a mere period of 4 months. During the period the head of the government had witness the worst crisis in the state of Manipur. According to individuals and civil society representatives who went to meet him either to submit memorandum or plead to deliver justice, he health condition was not sound in the last 2 months when Manipur was in fire both by the demand for implementation of ILPS and later by a series of protest against the passing of the three government Bills for implementation of the ILPS. The 4 months of his governorship was also one of the worst periods as there are probability of facing more crises after the government of India signed a frame work agreement with the NSCN-IM without consulting the Chief Ministers of the Northeast state.
Born on March 6, 1945, Dr. Sayed Ahmed began his career as a real congress man and before appointing him as governor he was elected many a times as Congress legislatures in Maharastra State Assembly.
There is no doubt that no men are immortal, each and everyone of us will have to die one day. But died with honour is what every human being aspiring. His Excellency, Dr. Sayed Ahmed left us all, He died with honours while being on the top post of a state which is full of crisis.
Now, the center will sent another governor – may be from among the congress or from among the BJP. And with the way the NDA government led by BJP under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, it is sure that, the Center will sent a person with BJP or RSS background to field the vacancy.
This is expectable by all and what is worried is the fate of Chief Minister Okram Ibobi once a pro-BJP individual is appointed as the Governor of the state.
Ibobi is already having tough time with the kind of protest being underway at both hill and valley district. For reason that is not clear 4 NPF MLAs had tender their resignation. The MLAs did not mention any reason to their resignation letter, but through media they said they resigned as they are against the passing of the 3 government Bills to implement the ILPS. Interestingly the 3 Bills were passed on August 31 in the presence of the 4 NPF MLAs and non among them had raised any objection to the passing of the Bill.There were also rumours about some other MLAs and Minister tendering resignation which was not true at all.
Amidst this there are rumours about disappointment among various congress MLAs who were not offered ministerial berth. These MLAs had already spoken about their plan to join BJP even though it was not official.
May be during Sayed Ahmad periods, he might have not sent all detail report of what has been happening in the state so that center may not directly interfere to the affairs of the state. If a new governor – supposed to be a pro BJP is appointed to field the highest post then sure Mr. Okram Ibobi would certainly have more additional problem.
The untimely demise of our governor, his Excellency- Dr. Sayed Ahmed is very unfortunate for the state of Manipur besides his family members. | <urn:uuid:769e72d9-4892-4e66-9f39-4ee19d241991> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.imphaltimes.com/editorial/untimely-demise-we-pay-our-last-respect-to-his-excellency-dr-sayed-ahmed/ | 2023-09-27T11:31:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.986781 | 815 |

New Grant Will Develop Interprofessional Curriculum to Improve Medical Diagnoses
Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation awards $477,400 to the Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 2, 2016 - The Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine (SIDM) has received a three-year grant for $477,400 from the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation to develop and pilot test an interprofessional, competency-based, consensus curriculum that supports the goal of improving patient safety by reducing diagnostic error. The grant, which is part of the Foundation’s mission to broaden and improve health professional education, reinforces SIDM’s vision to create a world where no patients are harmed by diagnostic error.
“Healthcare professionals all learn the basics of clinical reasoning, but at most schools, believe it or not, there is no course on diagnosis or how to avoid diagnostic error,” said Mark L. Graber, MD, FACP, president and founder of SIDM. “By working in teams and refining the education and training provided to clinicians, we can make great strides in improving patient safety.”
Diagnosis is one of the most difficult and complex tasks in health care. Error in diagnosis is a system-wide issue that has received little national attention, yet it affects an estimated one in 20 patients, roughly 12 million Americans each year in outpatient settings alone.
The grant will serve as the basis for producing clinicians who are both competent and aligned with the new interprofessional curriculum. To achieve this goal, SIDM will identify a limited set of core content areas and the associated competencies relevant to clinical reasoning, diagnosis, and diagnostic error, and make program recommendations that help learners progress toward competency in this domain.
“Improving diagnosis is one of the most urgent issues facing health care today,” said George E. Thibault, MD, president of the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation. “We believe that SIDM’s efforts will help to better equip clinicians so they can make more accurate and safe diagnoses in the future, which will improve the health of the public.”
Diagnostic error is the leading cause of medical malpractice claims in the U.S., and has been estimated by research studies to cause 40,000-80,000 deaths annually. One in every 10 diagnoses is wrong or delayed.
SIDM is a nonprofit organization whose members include clinicians and other healthcare professionals, patients and every stakeholder in the diagnostic process. SIDM sponsors the annual Diagnostic Error in Medicine conference, held this year on November 6-8, 2016 in Los Angeles. In 2015, SIDM established the Coalition to Improve Diagnosis, a collaboration of 28 leading healthcare organizations.

Founded by Kate Macy Ladd in memory of her father, prominent businessman Josiah Macy Jr., the Foundation supports projects that broaden and improve health professional education. It is now the only national foundation solely dedicated to this mission. Visit the Macy Foundation at macyfoundation.org.
Transforming Medical Education
With support from the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation, SIDM is working with an inter-professional group of experts to develop a consensus curriculum around diagnosis. The goal of this effort is to improve patient safety by reducing diagnostic error through new education and training standards. | <urn:uuid:ac0ab377-ea10-4e9d-aede-58439533ceec> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.improvediagnosis.org/news_posts/new-grant-will-develop-interprofessional-curriculum-to-improve-medical-diagnoses/ | 2023-09-27T11:44:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.935185 | 723 |

Lund, Sweden, 15 April 2021: The global pandemic has fuelled a huge growth in demand and placed additional stress on operators to deliver connectivity for Multi Dwelling Units (MDUs) across Europe, and at this year’s Gigabit Access, InCoax will discuss how reusing existing in-building infrastructure for broadband access can combat the connectivity complexities for residents and businesses.
As operators seek to push fiber deeper into the network, the reuse of in-building infrastructure as a coaxial network can yield enhanced Multigigabit speeds and reduced infrastructure costs. In competition with cable-TV service providers who are offering DOCSIS, operators have already been deploying Gfast over Point-To-Point (P2P) coaxial networks where such networks are available. However, InCoax’s fiber extension technology based on Broadband Forum’s TR-419 and the Multimedia over Coax Alliance (MoCA®) standard can provide MultiGigabit speeds for subscribers and speed up the installation process by utilizing existing infrastructure for tenants and MDU owners.
At Gigabit Access 2021, InCoax’s roundtable entitled ‘FTTep: How can complimentary technologies support gigabit broadband rollouts?’ will be moderated by Broadband Forum Vice President of Strategic Marketing and Business Development Craig Thomas with speakers including Helge Tiainen (InCoax), Simon Fisher (BT) and Mike Talbert (Verizon and MoCA). ‘Architectures for FTTep’, ‘What technologies can be deployed on existing copper infrastructure to extend fiber gigabit services when fiber installation is not viable/economical?’ and ‘In what situations can fiber extension technologies be beneficial?’ will all be topics of discussion.
“With MDU buildings already having existing coaxial networks, operators have a viable alternative to installing expensive and labour-intensive fiber direct to the premises,” said Helge Tiainen, Head of Marketing, Sales and Product Management at InCoax. “Fiber deployments in MDUs can be as much as 40% of Fiber-To-The-Building (FTTB) deployment costs and re-using copper phone lines does not offer operators a consistent Gigabit service as the performance can vary from as low as 100Mbps up to close 1Gbps which has been testified by several operators. Therefore, our fiber extension technology delivers a cost-effective option for operators seeking to provide MultiGigabit data rates with reduced complexity and costs.”
The benefits for the industry of Broadband Forum’s recent publication TR-419 that defines how fiber services can be extended over existing in-building networks such as coaxial networks, will also be highlighted at Gigabit Access 2021. InCoax’s technology ensures that operators do not have to re-cable the premises with fiber and it is interoperable with existing customer provisioning systems saving both implementation and installation costs.
For fixed line operators signing a broadband contract with a Single-Family Unit (SFU) is a much easier process as Multi-Dwelling Units involve building and apartment owners, and numerous tenants. According to housing statistics from Eurostat, the EU average for the population living in MDUs is 70% and the installation of fiber to multiple households is a far from straightforward process. Helge Tiainen examines the benefits of operators’ re-using in-building infrastructure in his latest article here.
Register for Gigabit Access 2021 and listen to InCoax’s roundtable on April 20 at 1.40pm UK time here.

New Delhi, [India], Jan. 29 : Taking a jibe at the Samajwadi Party and Congress alliance for the high-voltage Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday said the people do not believe in politics because of such opportunists.
Highlighting the difference of opinion that existed between both parties few months back, BJP MP Virendra Singh said they are the people because of whom the people do not believe in politics.
"Rahul Gandhi used to say that Samajwadi Party has looted Uttar Pradesh and the people are suffering under their governance.
What happened now?" he asked. Asserting that Prime Minister Narendra Modi always fulfils the promises made to the nation, Singh alleged that the Congress and Samajwadi Party have broken the trust of the people courtesy their alliance.
Echoing similar sentiments, BJP leader Nalin Kohli said development in Uttar Pradesh will come to halt if the Samajwadi Party and Congress alliance forms the next government in the state.
"For the past five years, Uttar Pradesh has been full of corruption, crime and unprogressive administration.
Along with that Congress has done so many scams in 10 years. So, this shows they will push the state in the opposite direction instead of navigating them towards development," he added.
Uttar Pradesh will be voting for a new state assembly in a seven-phase election between February 11 and March 8.
Out of the 403 assembly seats, Congress will be contesting in 105 seats and the Samajwadi Party will field its candidates in rest of the 298 seats. | <urn:uuid:842856c0-55ac-4bcc-b904-10dfedb0e83e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.india4u.com/bjp-slams-opportunist-sp-cong/ | 2023-09-27T11:46:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.956632 | 340 |
«What are they going to do, are they going to prohibit us from throwing the mascletás? Well, I'm telling you no, they're not going to stop it." This is how forceful the mayor of Alicante, Luis Barcala, has been about the report requested by the Generalitat Valenciana on the protection measures for the monument in Plaza de los Luceros for the firing of gunpowder in the traditional act of the Bonfires of San Juan.
In addition to announcing that the Plenary will take a "pronouncement" on this controversy, among other things to urge "the left of Alicante" to position itself against this "umpteenth attack" by the Consell on the Alicante festivities, Barcala has promised to maintain the location of the mascletás.
«We are not going to allow the mascletás to move from Luceros, it is the place that the people of Alicante want, no matter how Puig and Oltra are; they would not dare to do the same with the Fallas of Valencia, no matter how protected the monuments are in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento", the Alicante mayor has compared.
It has also played down the importance of the request of the regional Administration: "We'll see if in ten days we can complete the report, but I don't understand why they interfere in the parties, or what interest they have in vetoing, in preventing."
Consequently, he has asked Puig to "purify responsibilities in his government" and has shown that he does not expect him for this year's Bonfire celebrations: "Don't come, if you don't like parties, but don't walk around afterwards to take the photo» | <urn:uuid:1aabf27e-4296-4fc3-ab56-e36cd6ad689b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.indonewyork.com/breaking/the-mayor-of-alicante-guarantees-that-the-masclets-will-stay-in-luceros-h34736.html | 2023-09-27T10:45:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.956389 | 359 |

Recommend an X-ray. An X-ray of the painful tooth can help identify an abscess. Your dentist may also use X-rays to verify whether the infection has spread, causing abscesses in other areas.
Recommend a CT scan. If the infection has expanded to other areas within the neck, a CT scan may be performed to evaluate how extensive the infection is.
The objective of treatment is to get rid of the infection. Your dentist may perform the following:
Open up and drain the abscess. The dentist will make a small incision into the abscess, so the pus can drain out, and then clean the area with salt water . In some cases, a small rubber drain is placed to keep the area open for drainage while the swelling diminishes.
Do a root canal. A root canal can effectively eliminate the infection and preserve your tooth. First, your dentist drills down into your tooth, takes out the diseased pulp and drains the abscess. The next step is filling and sealing the tooths pulp chamber and root canals. For stability, the tooth may be capped with a crown. If you take good care of your restored tooth properly, it can last for many years, if not a lifetime.

How Long Do Toothaches Last
Any type of toothache thats due to diseases such as an abscess or decay will continue to last until the nerve of the tooth dies and stops transmitting sensations from the tooth to adjacent nerves. If your toothache is because of something like the toothpaste youre using or a sinus infection, the symptoms are easily reversible in a matter of a week or so.
Pain that interferes with eating, drinking, or even being able to go to work means something significant is going on. Dont try to wait it out in hopes of the symptoms getting any better on their own. Dental infections related to decay or abscesses dont heal with time instead, they become worse and more complex. If tooth pain continually worsens or lasts more than a few days, theres likely something significant going on in your mouth, and you should see your dentist right away or as soon as possible.

How Can I Prevent A Toothache
Since most toothaches are the result of tooth decay, good oral hygiene practices can prevent toothaches:
- Brush regularly with a fluoride toothpaste.
- Floss at least once a day.
- See your dentist twice a year for professional cleaning.
Also, eat foods low in sugar and ask your dentist about sealants and fluoride applications.

What Is A Dental Abscess
A dental abscess is a swelling filled with pus in or around a tooth that is caused by a bacterial infection. There are various types of abscesses.
- Tooth infection: The infection and swelling can begin inside a tooth.
- Periapical abscess: The infection spreads to the tissue below the tooth.
- Periodontal abscess: The infection builds up in a tooth’s surrounding tissues.
- Pericoronal abscess: The infection builds up in the gum tissues covering a tooth that hasn’t fully emerged.
- Gingival abscess : The infection spreads to the gums themselves.
No matter what the type, an abscess usually hurts. The pain can come on quickly and become unbearable in a day or two. In most cases, tooth pain is what drives a patient to seek treatment.
A tooth abscess can range from a minor infection to a severe and even life-threatening infection that has spread to other parts of the face or body. While most tooth abscess treatments are outpatient, some end up in an emergency room. More than half of dental-related emergency room visits are due to dental abscesses. The most severe infections may require hospitalization.
At this stage, the infection is not an abscess. The infection will gradually make its way through the root canal, eventually killing the tissue, and emerging from the bottom, or apex, of the tooth. From there, it infects the bone and tissue at the apex of the root, causing a periapical abscess.
How To Cure A Tooth Infection
If you have signs and symptoms of a tooth infection, it is important to call your dentist as soon as possible. Dentists can help in a few ways, but remember that this infection will not go away on its own- treatment is necessary.
If you notice the symptoms go away, and you are no longer in pain, this does not mean the infection is gone. An infection can eventually kill the nerves that cause pain in your tooth, meaning you wont feel it anymore. The infection is still present and can potentially spread to your body and damage the surrounding teeth and your gums.
- A dentist or endodontist can perform a root canal, which is a procedure in which the infected pulp in your teeth is removed to prevent further infection.

Can A Tooth Abscess Go Away On Its Own
A tooth abscess is a specific type of dental abscess called a periapical abscess. It starts as an infection inside the tooth and moves into the area below the tooth. It will not go away on its own. If the abscess ruptures, youll feel immediate pain relief, but you should still seek dental treatment for the underlying infection.
You Experience Stomach Pain
You should call your doctor if you, your child, or your infant has a high fever. A high fever is defined as:
- adults: 103°F or higher
- children: 102.2°F or higher
- infants 3 months and older: 102°F or higher
- infants younger than 3 months: 100.4°F or higher
Get immediate medical attention if the fever is accompanied by:
A tooth becomes infected when bacteria gets into the tooth through a chip, crack, or cavity. Your risk factor for a tooth infection increases if you have:
- poor dental hygiene, including not brushing your teeth 2 times a day and not flossing
- a high sugar diet, including eating sweets and drinking soda
- dry mouth, which is often caused by aging or as a side effect of certain medications

Surprising Effects Of An Infected Tooth
If youve had an infected tooth in the past, you know how painful it can be. But did you know that an infected tooth can affect your body and your overall health in unexpected ways? Tooth, gum, and mouth problems can cause severe pain and serious complications when left untreated, butnearly half of Americans fail to see their dentist every six months. While its never a smart idea to ignore any pain or infection in your body, an infected tooth can be serious and should always be treated by your dentist immediately, before it becomes a more serious problem. Read on to learn more about the dangers and also the suggested treatment of an infected tooth.
Causes Of A Gum Abscess
A gum abscess occurs when bacteria in the mouth causes an infection in the space between the teeth and the gums. Some gum abscesses result from periodontitis disease, which is caused by poor oral hygiene.
Periodontitis disease is an inflammatory condition of the gums that develops when plaque accumulates under the gums. Plaque is a sticky, colorless film of bacteria. When it isnt removed from teeth through regular brushing and flossing, an infection can occur in the surrounding tissue. This can result in the formation of an abscess.
A gum abscess can also occur due to a deep periodontal pocket. A periodontal pocket is a space that develops around the teeth from gum disease. Bacteria can live in this space. If food and plaque become embedded in this space, bacteria can thrive.
Having a weaker immune system can also contribute to a gum abscess because your immune system is unable to fight off infections. Factors that may reduce your bodys defenses include being tired, stressed, or having a chronic illness.

What Causes A Tooth Infection
The primary cause of a tooth infection is dental caries, or tooth decay. Your mouth is full of bacteria all the time, but usually that bacteria doesnt get inside your teeth where it can cause an infection. When decay causes cavities and cracks or holes in your teeth, bacteria can seep into your teeth and cause a tooth infection. An infection can also happen if you have an injury to your tooth that causes a crack or a chip in the tooth. Keeping your teeth strong and healthy through regular brushing and flossing can help prevent decay and infections.
Infection can happen in different parts of the tooth. Sometimes the infection occurs on the side of the tooth if there is an opening there and that can cause the infection to spread to the gums. Pockets of pus called abscesses can form around the infection that will need to be drained by the dentist for the infection to go away. | <urn:uuid:f3dd30db-647f-41fb-8e95-bd7c387fab4c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.infectiontalk.net/what-to-do-for-a-toothache-infection/ | 2023-09-27T12:26:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.939114 | 3,700 |
Patients who visit a clinician with a higher antibiotic prescribing rate are more likely to receive antibiotics for acute respiratory illness (ARI) in the subsequent year, driven largely by patients being more likely to seek care for future ARIs, according to study results published in Clinical Infectious Diseases.
While excessive antibiotic prescribing for ARIs remains high, one driver of this could be a patient’s prior care experience. Patients may attribute clinical improvements to the antibiotics, whether or not the antibiotic was truly effective, reflecting a form of illusionary correlation. Using the novel approach of exploiting the quasi-randomization of patients to clinicians in urgent care centers, researchers examined the association between the clinician’s antibiotic prescribing rate to the patients’ rates of ARI antibiotic receipt as well as their spouses’ rate of antibiotic receipt in the subsequent year.
Using de-identified encounter data from Aetna, a national United States health plan, researchers identified patients <65 years old with an index visit for an ARI to an urgent care center from January 1, 2013 to June 10, 2016. They categorized clinicians within each urgent care center into quartiles based on their ARI antibiotic prescribing rate. The index visit was defined as the first ARI urgent care center visit where the patient had no ARI visits in the preceding 21 days in any setting. The primary outcome was ARI antibiotic receipt per 100 people across all outpatient settings in the subsequent year after a patient’s index ARI visit. The subsequent year was defined as days 22 to 385 after the index visit, with the 12 months broken down into four 3-month periods (months 1-3, 4-6, 7-9, and 10-12).
To focus on oral systemic antibiotics, researchers excluded topical, ophthalmic, or otic antibiotics. They categorized broad-spectrum antibiotics as macrolides (excluding erythromycin), fluoroquinolones, and non-first-generation cephalosporins. A secondary outcome was receipt of broad-spectrum antibiotics for an ARI in the subsequent year.
There were a total of 232,256 index ARI urgent care visits with 9577 clinicians to 736 urgent care centers. Urgent care centers had a median of 8 clinicians (range, 4-201). Across the 4 quartiles of clinician antibiotic prescribing, patients had similar demographics and similar predicted probability of receiving an antibiotic based only on patient characteristics. There was a large variation in antibiotic prescribing between providers within the same center: prescribers in the 1st quartile (low prescribers) had an antibiotic prescribing rate of 42.1% while patients treated by prescribers in the 4th quartile (high prescribers) had a rate of 80.2%.
In the year after the index ARI visit, patients seen by high prescribers received 3.0 more fills per 100 people (a 14.6% difference; P <.001) compared with those seen by low prescribers. Patients treated by high prescribers also received 19.4% more ARI broad-spectrum antibiotics in the subsequent year vs low prescribers’ patients (1.9 more fills per 100 people; P <.001).
There were 27,770 spouses of patients with an index visit. Compared with spouses of patients seen by a low prescriber, spouses of patients seen by a high prescriber also had a higher rate of ARI antibiotics in the subsequent year (+3.5 fills per 100 patients; 95% CI, 1.6-5.4; P <.001).
The increased rate of antibiotic receipt in the subsequent year was largely driven by patients being more likely to seek care for future ARIs (+5.6 ARI visits per 100 patients, P <.001), rather than a higher antibiotic prescribing rate during those subsequent ARI visits based on several secondary analyses. For instance, the percent difference in antibiotic fills per 100 among patients seen by high vs low prescribers was similar across the four 3-month periods in the subsequent year. In addition, when researchers stratified patients by whether they received an antibiotic at the index visit, those who were not prescribed antibiotics at the index ARI visit had a similar likelihood of receiving antibiotics in the subsequent year (16.1% in quartile 1 vs 16.5% in quartile 4). Furthermore, in a falsification test, no association was observed between the clinician’s prescribing quartile and a patient’s future receipt of a preventive health visit.
Since the analysis used administrative data, researchers were unable to assess illness severity. In addition, results may differ for other populations, since data used here was comprised of people with private insurance in the United States.
The findings of this study could “be used in future clinician educational efforts by illustrating another negative consequence of inappropriate antibiotic prescribing,” concluded the researchers.

A month ago government looted people by over billing them for a month, later responsibility was put on one single individual after whole Pakistan was over billed. This over-billed amount was used to deal with circular debt temporarily. Now as again as govt gets out of money, they were real fast to bring back Load Shedding.
Whatever excuses government comes with over and over again, one thing is for sure, and that is, government have not been able to make enough recoveries, no serious actions are being taken against non-payers of electricity bills and the load is being put on those people who are paying the bills already.
Its out of inability or corruption of Nawaz League, the country is again facing 8 to 14 hours of daily load shedding in just urban areas. One can imagine what would be situation in rural areas. Locals know that Load Shedding in rural areas is mostly few hours more than urban areas.
While there is a group chanting the slogans of “Go Nawaz Go” or found as #GoNawazGo hash tag on social media, its evident now that Nawaz (Prime minister of Pakistan) is failing its people. One month they are being overcharged and next month government shuts down many power plants due to inability to recover the electricity bills.

Barry Blackwell’s reply to Janusz K. Rybakowski’s comment
Dr. Rybakowski’s comments on the “Lithium Controversy” are especially welcome and enlightening, informed as they are by forty five years of devoted, skillful and rewarding research and study.
For me, it was particularly interesting that among Janusz’s first patients was a female physician who had suffered three depressive (sic) episodes and remained asymptomatic for the duration of his own career – a curious echo of Mogens Schou’s prescient experience with his brother – a rumor that caused Blackwell and Shepherd to unfairly question his scientific objectivity.
This also makes me wonder if Dr. Rybakowski’s cohort of 79 patients, observed for 10 years, of which between a quarter and a third were “excellent responders” with “Kraeplinian characteristics”, may also have included a few with recurrent unipolar depression without manic episodes. If so, this may confirm Schou’s late life interest in possible subtle diagnostic indications for a successful outcome.
The serendipitous finding of an antiviral effect of lithium is a well-deserved bonus for what Claude Bernard described as the “well-prepared mind”. Lithium has a long history of unexpected and unproven claims as a panacea, but this time a novel indication is supported by controlled research.
We can all look forward with anticipation to the results of the international genome-wide association study of lithium response, when I will celebrate the date of its anniversary submission to the Lancet. Even if puzzlingly complex, it may be a final, timely, nail in the coffin of lithium as a “Therapeutic Myth.” | <urn:uuid:c5b27d8c-4eb8-4948-8f20-a000080fda84> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.inhn.org/inhn-projects/controversies/barry-blackwell-the-lithium-controversy-a-historical-autopsy/barry-blackwells-reply-to-janusz-rybakowskis-comment | 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 | 0.950191 | 388 |
The Philippines has no plan to rejoin the International Criminal Court (ICC), said newly elected President Ferdinand Marcos Jr, a decision that supports his predecessor’s stance but denies the demands of human rights activists.
Former President Rodrigo Duterte withdrew the Philippines from The Hague-based court in 2019 after the body launched an investigation the previous year into his campaign against illegal drugs that led to thousands of killings.
“The Philippines has no intention of rejoining the ICC,” Marcos Jr said in response to a question at a news conference.
Marcos Jr, who took office on June 30, said he recently met his justice secretary and other legal advisers to discuss the possible resumption of an ICC investigation into the drug killings.
Judges at the ICC in September authorised Prosecutor Karim Khan to investigate killings during Duterte’s crackdown from November 1, 2011, to March 16, 2019.
The probe, however, was suspended in November after the Philippines said in a letter to Khan that it was already investigating the allegations so the international court did not have jurisdiction.
“We are saying there is already an investigation here and the investigation is continuing. Why will there be such?” Marcos Jr said, questioning the possible resumption of the ICC probe.
The ICC is a court of last resort for cases that countries are unwilling or unable to prosecute. Under the court’s rules, a country can request the deferral of an investigation if it is already investigating it internally.
Khan, however, has sought to resume his probe, saying in June: “I have concluded that the deferral requested by the Philippines is not warranted and that the investigation should resume as quickly as possible.”
Based on police statistics, more than 6,000 mostly poor drug suspects were killed in Duterte’s police-enforced crackdown. Human rights groups say the death toll is considerably higher and should include many unsolved killings by motorcycle-riding gunmen who may have been deployed by police.
Duterte has defended the crackdown as “lawfully directed against drug lords and pushers who have for many years destroyed the present generation, especially the youth”.
He has denied condoning extrajudicial killings of drug suspects, although he has openly threatened suspects with death and ordered police to shoot suspects who dangerously resist arrest.
Marcos Jr has faced calls to prosecute Duterte over the drug deaths but has praised his predecessor in recent speeches instead.
His vice president, Sara Duterte, is the former president’s daughter and helped with Marcos Jr’s election victory in May. | <urn:uuid:25289109-da0d-43d9-a113-bc98c9d354ae> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.inkl.com/news/philippines-has-no-intention-of-rejoining-the-icc-marcos-jr | 2023-09-27T11:51:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.981132 | 527 |
The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium’s 22.7-acre Zoombezi Bay waterpark opened to the public Memorial Day weekend with a brand new expansion designed and built by Aquatic Development Group (ADG), appropriately dubbed “Otter Banks.”
The $3.7 million dollar addition to the park is the first expansion to the Zoombezi Bay waterpark since 2014. General Manager of Zoombezi Bay, John Gannon, said that guests were consistently asking for more space to relax, more slides, and more interactive water ride attractions. Otter Banks was designed to accommodate all these requests.
With a partnership dating back for more than a decade, Columbus Zoo chose ADG to renovate, design and build their new Zoombezi Bay waterpark, which first opened to the public in the summer 2008, featuring $20 million worth of new attractions, including: three new water slide complexes, a new 544,000-gallon Wild Tides wave pool and a 575,000-gallon action river called Roaring Rapids. In 2011, ADG designed a water slide expansion to provide two new slides, a 45’ uphill water coaster, and the first Boomerango Express half-pipe tube slide, and in 2014, ADG designed and built the $4.5 million Baboon Lagoon children’s area expansion featuring nine children’s water slides, 90+ interactive water play features, and a giant 1,000-gallon dumping bucket.
In 2017, Columbus Zoo once again called upon ADG for the fourth time to design and build their newest expansion, Otter Banks. Designed and built around ADG’s Adventure Lagoon® water ride, the area features 2,500 sqft of active water play area with three separate play areas including an activity pool with basketball, 3 waterfalls and in-water seating; an 1,800 sqft action pool that holds an inflatable obstacle course; and a slide complex featuring two 30 ft drop slides.
“Our goal here is to not have people standing in long lines, so the more activities we have, and the more space we have, the less lines people are going to be standing in,” said John Gannon.
Otter Banks has the capacity to accommodate approximately 500 guests at a time, which should alleviate some of the congestion within the park. In addition to these thrilling water attractions, Otter Banks features an expanded lounge seating and 15,000 sqft of decking providing guests with the opportunity to relax along the shores of the three new pools and to slip into a tropical oasis without ever leaving town. Otter Banks also features all-new cabanas, which are the perfect place to gather with friends and family for a special occasion or just for a fun day in the sun.
“We’re incredibly excited for the opening of Otter Banks. This aquatic attraction gives us the opportunity to provide our guests with an experience unlike any other in Central Ohio to include both adventure and relaxation while also offering more space and shorter lines during their visit,” said Columbus Zoo and Aquarium President/CEO Tom Stalf.
“We have been pleased to work with ADG when we have looked for ways to expand our water park,” said John Gannon. “We are very excited about the new Otter Banks expansion to our park and are also proud of the other projects’ successes.

This Mournable Body by Tsitsi Dangarembga: Book Review
The jury has shortlisted This Mournable Body by Tsitsi Dangarembga for the 2020 Booker Prize. I bought a Kindle copy of this book when the longlist was out. I was very eager to read this book. I gave the book four stars on Goodreads, and those stars are well-deserved ones for this very unique and fresh story. This Mournable Body provides the reader with a good understanding of the Zimbabwe of the first two decades of the twenty-first century. I was shocked by some of the graphic but very moving scenes in this story, which brings Zimbabwe to life through the eyes of the controversial protagonist Tambudzai. I love novels that delve deep into another country’s culture, and this book has made me realize the many problems that Zimbabwe faces. They are battling with many issues that are subtly highlighted in Dangarembga’s novel.
The book is a good read, but one needs to read it slowly to understand the plot and what it means to be a twenty-first-century African woman out to claim the sky for her own. I could relate with the protagonist Tambudzai especially where women’s situation is concerned in Zimbabwe, mainly when she describes her trials as a biology teacher in a school. The not so shocking factor is that even though Tambudzai was a Sociology graduate, she was asked to teach Biology in school. I have not had the best experience while teaching students in a school, so I could relate to Tambudzai. I was on tenterhooks while I was reading about the situation with rowdy girl students, and I can fully imagine and recreate in my mind the terrible act done by Tambudzai. This act is what we all as teachers pray and hope that we will never find ourselves doing, but Tambudzai lands up doing it and pays the price for it. There are portions in This Mournable Body that can get under your skin and make the goosebumps crawl, like the ants that were always seeming to crawl over Tambudzai’s body.
This book is beautifully crafted and opens up to the reader gently like a lotus in bloom. The book slowly reveals to you the reality of Zimbabwe and the reality of the many different characters that make up this very straightforward plot of Tambudzai’s search for meaning and success in her life. She sees this in others, especially her ex-boss. She wants to live up to her high expectations, and I can relate to that as I am an Indian entrepreneur in the publishing world. I fully understand what it feels like to have the drive but not the means to fund or organize your dreams. That is why I liked this book. It opened up the tender side of me, made me reflect on Zimbabwe women, and what issues they go through, which are equally, if not more, horrifying as the situation in my country. This is a book that should be shared and read by women of different communities. It should be debated upon, especially the subtle symbology. The subtle symbol of a woman begging people to drink from her exposed breast brought tears to my eyes. I remembered the many sensual elements associated with an exposed breast, forgetting its essential quality of being a source of nourishment, a mammary gland, a necessary part of a woman’s body, and a sign of motherhood. That touched me at my core. There are many other book elements that one can debate and analyze with a women’s group or a book club.
I’m glad that This Mournable Body is the third book in the ‘Nervous Conditions’ series because there are two others I have yet to read. However, as a standalone book, This Mournable Body is good enough as it is. Some portions are racy in this book, and they come as surprises. I loved those surprises and kept reading into the night for those parts. The ending is one such racy part in the book, and it will make you weep. I will not forget Tambudzai’s mother for a long time to come because of the ending. No! No more spoilers from me; get your copy of This Mournable Body and read it. It is truly a heart-wrenching book. Those of us who love reading good literary fiction of communities and regions other than our own will appreciate this book, and I hope you check this book out and read it with your core group. This book needs to be read and discussed.
I have reviewed two other 2020 Booker Prize Longlisted books titled Love and Other Thought Experiments by Sophia Ward and Apeirogon by Colum McCann. Please feel free to check them out. I have also reviewed a 2020 Booker Prize shortlisted book, The New Wilderness by Diane Cook. You can check that out too. Do read This Mournable Body and support the Zimbabwe writer and activist Tsitsi Dangarembga. If you are a Zimbabwe citizen, you cannot afford to miss reading and contemplating this book. Many places will make you cry and choke up with varied emotions in your heart, especially at the numerous graphic scenes involving women abuse. Be ready for that, but don’t cringe; read on. Support This Mournable Body today.
There is one more topic I wish to dwell on before I end this post. That topic is about blood. I have read numerous books regarding blood baths, blood pools, blood emissions, etc.. The vivid images created in my mind by Tsitsi Dangarembga, especially about the horrific abuse and fall of a maid or support staff, almost made me faint! Be careful. This book is not for the faint-hearted! Read this book and be ready to be surprised by the many blood-related scenes. Don’t read the book while troubled or while being anxious. Just get a cup of tea and sit in your little reading nook during the weekend and read on. Like me, if you are unable to get hold of a physical copy, try and get hold of a Kindle copy today, but don’t ignore this book. It is worth the effort, and don’t forget to discuss it with your woman’s group.
I hope to read most, if not all, of the 2020 Booker Prize longlisted and shortlisted books soon. If you are interested in more 2020 Booker Prize related essays, reviews, and bookish content, you can check it out on my blog.

Certainly, you know the refrain from Johnny Cash’s stirring 1970 antiwar ballad: “And the lonely voice of youth cries ‘What is truth?’”
I just had a chance to see Christopher Chen’s 2017 Obie Award–winning piece of performance art, Caught. It offers a truly powerful examination of the postmodernist concerns with artifice, dissimulation, deception and duplicity, as well as with cultural appropriation and the commodification of persecution and oppression. Again and again, the author manipulates the audience’s emotions with various sleights of hand.
Divided into four distinct segments, the piece begins with a Chinese dissident and street artist’s account of his imprisonment for organizing a “virtual” protest to mark the anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre. Succeeding scenes throw that incredibly powerful opening into question, leading some critics to dismiss the show as a Twilight Zone–like parlor game and an emotionally manipulative bait and switch, rug-pulling exercise.
I, however, found it a gripping commentary on objectivity, journalistic ambition and artistic posturing in our posttruth era, when so many people feel free “to believe whatever makes them most comfortable.”
That’s, of course, what Stephen Colbert meant when he coined the term “truthiness”: the willingness to accept a claim not because it’s supported by evidence, but because we “intuit” its truth or wish it were true.
Although Caught is very much a commentary on our own time, its themes actually resonate with those found in the post–World War I modernist plays of Luigi Pirandello, like Six Characters in Search of an Author (1921). That should stand as a vivid reminder of the importance of background knowledge and, dare I say, cultural literacy. Like Pirandello, Chen explores a series of ideas that we now associate with existentialism as well as postmodernism:
- The rejection of the idea of absolute truth and its replacement by personal truth based on perception, interpretation and perspective.
- The interplay between illusion and reality and fact and fantasy and the blurry line between sanity and madness.
- Identity as performance and life as a form of theater in which people act out roles, consciously or unconsciously.
- The inherent absurdity of life.
Also, the performance features Pirandello-like metatheatricality, where the piece breaks the fourth wall, comments on its nature as performance and expects the audience to take an active role in processing the characters’ arguments.
Among the themes that run through my “Higher Ed Gamma” posts is a call for more courses that adopt an interdisciplinary approach to timely issues, in this case, truth’s indeterminate and slippery nature. A performance piece like Chen’s provides an ideal way for faculty and students to collectively address a series of philosophical, psychological and ethical questions that could scarcely be more urgent and relevant:
- Are inaccuracies the same as lies?
- Is it ever OK to embellish facts in order to serve a moral cause?
- Are objectivity and absolute truth achievable goals?
- Is it possible or desirable to overcome one’s personal beliefs, feelings and bias?
- Can an account be trustworthy without being objective?
Over the course of the performance, characters comment on a number of journalism’s most famous fabricators and fabulists: Stephen Glass, the New Republic reporter whose blockbuster stories turned out to be fraudulent, a subject examined in the 2003 feature film Shattered Glass; James Frey, whose memoirs of drug addiction and treatment contained inventions and exaggerations; and Mike Daisey, whose account of the exploitative labor conditions where Apple devices were manufactured was retracted after examples of hyperbole and fabrication were revealed.
In other words, Caught offers many ways for instructors to enhance discussion of the performance with really engaging case studies involving veracity, certainty, deceit and doubt.
If faculty are going to teach in more interdisciplinary and comparative ways, then doctoral programs need to evolve to ensure that Ph.D. candidates, especially in the humanities and the interpretive social sciences, get a more well-rounded education, with a solid grounding in literature and the arts.
Departments must also be far more open to team-taught classes. Excessively narrow, overly specialized, discipline-based courses need to be supplemented by classes that adopt a much broader perspective.
Johnny Cash sang his antiwar song number at the Nixon White House in 1970—after the Cambodia incursion and the shootings at Kent State and Jackson State. We’d do well to recall the song’s lyrics, with their forceful call for adults to listen to youth’s voice.
“Yeah, the ones that you’re calling wild
Are going to be the leaders in a little while
This old world’s wakin’ to a new born day
And I solemnly swear that it’ll be their way
You better help the voice of youth find
‘What is truth?’”
However uncomfortable many faculty may find some of today’s students’ concerns, for example, with the notion that no one in class should ever feel offended, affronted or upset, we can’t wish their perspective away. That is one reason why we’d do well to engage in informed conversations about key issues of our time or, in Gerald Graff’s words: teach the controversies. Certainly, truth and objectivity are among the topics we should address; so too are equity, inclusion and justice.
Among the best ways to do this, I’m convinced, is to draw upon works of literature. For there are truths that go beyond the merely factual, and those deeper truths often lie in works of the creative imagination. As one 2016 essay put it, “fiction can be truer than truth.”
These are the emotional, moral, narrative and philosophical truths that might be considered more true than factual truth and that lead us to delve into the realm of subjective experience and the power of perception. Emotions are valid experiences in and of themselves, and they shape our understanding of the world as much as (if not more than) cold, hard facts. Some truths are not factual but are instead based on our moral or philosophical beliefs.
Every individual perceives the world around them through the lens of their experiences, beliefs, emotions and subsequent experiences. An emotional truth reflects this subjective reality—the internal, deeply personal understanding of an experience or concept. As Marcel Proust demonstrated, the emotional weight or resonance of a particular memory or experience can be more impactful than the actual factual details of the event. The way a past event feels might hold more significance for them than the precise chronological order of the event’s occurrences.
While factual accuracy is crucial in many contexts, like history and the natural and social sciences, emotional truths play a significant role in personal identity, culture and art.
If there is one invaluable lesson that I’ve picked up over the years, it’s that often “inventive writing is the most effective way to conjure reality.” I’ve learned as much from novels and plays and movies than “bare facts could ever explain.” As the novelist Charles Bock has declared: fiction allows us to get at the parts of experience that matter most.
In a 2014 book entitled Narrative Politics, Frederick Mayer, a professor of public policy, political science and environment at Duke, wrote:
“Humans are, whatever else we are, storytelling, story-consuming, story-enacting animals. Stories are central to our cognition and emotions. Stories imbue our experience with meaning. Our self-stories define our sense of identity. And, to a very great extent, our behaviors are enactments, scripted by the dramatic imperative of the storied lives we lead.”
Or as Isabel Allende put this in a 2007 TED talk, which begins with the great Chilean magical realist paraphrasing a Jewish proverb, “What is truer than true? The answer: The story.” In her own writing, she has sought to expose and explore those truths that lie beyond the purely factual. These include the role of mystery, coincidence, premonitions, emotions and dreams in our psychic lives.
Teach the facts. But don’t stop there. Remember, there are historical, emotional, ethical, philosophical and psychological truths that go beyond the empirical or the evidence-based. In Aldous Huxley’s words, “There are things known and there are things unknown and in between are the doors of perception.” | <urn:uuid:9aa7def4-eca1-4e4e-9cba-2adecc0b97b9> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.insidehighered.com/opinion/blogs/higher-ed-gamma/2023/09/06/all-truth-subjective | 2023-09-27T10:43:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.938616 | 1,819 |

Inventory control, also called stock control, is the process of ensuring that the right amount of supplies are available in an organization. With proper internal and production controls, the practice ensures that the company can meet customer demand and offer financial elasticity.
Inventory controlis the process of maintaining a company's stock level to meet customer demand and minimize costs. This involves tracking inventory and maintaining goods.
It also includes making decisions to take advantage of your actions and planning purchases. This type of system generates more fraud because there is nothing that can track inventory between physical counts, reducing liability between inventories, and because it is more difficult to determine where inventory discrepancies occurred. Not all companies have all four types of inventories, but most businesses require at least one of these inventory categories. While some companies that place just-in-time orders may have extremely small inventories, almost any company requires some type of inventory, which is best managed through inventory control systems.
For example, if you want your physical inventories to be completed over a weekend, determine if your employees should have scanners that speed up their work. However, experts agree that, although physical inventories are not common, some manual inventory process must be implemented to complement a perpetual system. Companies with large inventories, complex warehouses, or that sell on multiple channels may have many moving parts in their inventories. The challenges of this type of system occur when it is used without also carrying out physical inventories. | <urn:uuid:9a3e1d81-83ab-4eb6-995f-7b492a3d0fad> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.inventory-management.pro/which-inventory-control | 2023-09-27T11:44:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.953013 | 295 |

As rumored, the iPad Air 2 features a faster A8X chip with 64-bit architecture. A8X has 40% faster CPU and 2.5x faster GPU as compared to last generation chip.

And while this method is all well and good when theres only a few phone numbers to sort through, if you ever find yourself staring down the barrel of a bulk contact duplication situation, there are a number of different remedies for the issue depending on what caused the problem in the first place.
Currently the most common culprit is accidentally syncing your phone through iTunes , while also having either an iCloud or Outlook account tied to your device at the same time.
The same problem can arise with other email applications and address book imports as well, including both Gmail and Yahoo. If your devices local address book shares many of the same numbers with the email accounts of friends, family members, or coworkers, the iPhone will automatically import both into the same list without merging the overlapping information on its own.

Could There Be iPhone 14 Release Date Delays
Reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has stated on Twitter that hes seen some indication of production issues with the new iPhone 14, but these seem to be mostly limited to the LG Display used by the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Max, and even then that Apple would still likely be able to meet production.
I have learned that recently some iPhone 14 panel and memory suppliers have experienced supply issues, but it should have a limited impact on the coming mass production of the iPhone 14 because other suppliers can fill the supply gap.
Ross Young , purported that iPhone 14 Max panel shipments still way behind through August. Pro volumes > 3x higher
Still, Ming-Chi believes the iPhone 14 is still on track for a September 2022 release date, and that even the iPhone Max will probably also be ready on time in sufficient quantities. Apple usually go to great lengths to make sure iPhone production matches expectations, given it remains the product that provides the biggest source of revenue, so it seems unlikely there will be much in the way of iPhone 14 release date delays.
iPhone 14 Pro: Storage Power And Battery Life
The Pro models always offer a little extra something over the other handsets in order to justify their higher price tags, but this year could be a real watershed moment for them. The rumour is that the iPhone 14 Pro models will debut a new, as-yet-unannounced A16 processor, while the non-Pro variants will stick with the A15 Bionic from the iPhone 13 range.
The rumour comes from Ming-Chi Kuo, whose name you’ve probably already seen in this article. That’s because he’s probably the most-respected Apple analyst out there, with one of the best track records when it comes to iPhone predictions.
That would be a pretty big deal, as Apple usually uses the same chipset across its entire iPhone range. In fact, it has done in every iPhone since the iPhone 5S and 5C landed with different processors in 2013. Usually, what differentiates the Pro and non-Pro models are more cores or more memory along with a few extra camera features. Different processors would draw a real line between the two ranges.
So, why would Apple kit its Pro iPhones out with the new chip but not the standard, non-Pro variants? It could be an attempt to justify the Pro models’ higher price tags. Or it could be a purely practical measure given the ongoing chip shortage, which is impacting the supply of everything from phones and tablets to cars and games consoles.

Camera Rumors: A Better Front
Apple may have a few camera upgrades in store for the upcoming iPhone 14. Rumors say the tech giant has chosen a new supplier for its front-facing camera to make a higher-end lens. According to a report from Korean tech site ET News, citing unnamed industry sources, South Korean supplier LG Innotek will provide the new selfie camera for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro.
Kuo also shared insights about the iPhone 14’s potential camera upgrades in an investors note reported on by 9to5Mac just after the iPhone 13 launch. In the note, Kuo predicts a hole-punch front camera, making the iPhone 14 notchless, as well as a 48-megapixel wide rear camera for the Pro and Pro Max models, up from 12 megapixels on previous iPhones.
Display analyst Ross Young hypothesizes, however, that the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max will have a hole-and-pill shaped design to accommodate for the front-facing camera and Face ID. The hole cutout is believed to be for the Face ID dot projector, and the pill-shaped cutout holds the front camera and Face ID camera, according to a . Supposedly leaked CAD renders of the iPhone 14, seen by 91mobiles, corroborate this rumor.
Another of the camera features we’re still waiting on is an improved telephoto lens. While the iPhone 13 Pro’s zoom capabilities were given a 3x optical zoom, it still pales in comparison to a lot of competitor flagships, including Samsung’s Galaxy S22 Ultra, which boasts a 10x optical zoom.

Once again from Gurman, the iPhone 14 Pro will have an always-on, low-power display like the past several generations of Samsung Galaxy phones have had. “The iPhone 14 Pro will be able to show widgets displaying weather, calendars, stocks, activities, and other data while the screen remains at a low brightness and frame rate,” he says.
Apple’s iPhone 14 Lineup Is Likely Coming This Fall These Are The Leaks And Rumors We Trust
In the mobile world, one thing is certain: Apple will release new iPhones this year. The iPhone 14 lineup is currently expected to appear in September or October 2022, bringing new capabilities and new design touches.
iPhone rumors are a dirty business. A lot of them originate with totally unverified, and unverifiable, posts on microblogging sites like Weibo. Literally anyone can publish something random on Weibo and get picked up by a bunch of websites as a source. The second tier come from analysts with sources at Apple’s suppliers, but they can’t confirm whether or not they’re just seeing something Apple is experimenting with and decided not to use. A select few journalists sometimes get the real details, but often not until the last minute.
With that said, here are the iPhone 14 rumors we trust so far.

When Is iPhone 14 Coming Out Here’s What We Know So Far
Lots of of speculations and leaks regarding Apple’s upcoming iPhone 14 are already out in the open. However, its release might take a while.
Apple is yet to officially unveil its upcoming iPhone 14 but leaks and speculation regarding its highly-anticipated smartphone are already spreading like wildfire. However, this doesn’t mean its release is imminent, as the iPhone release schedule is already well-established, and it hasn’t been that long since Apple announced the iPhone 13 back in September.
At that time, the almost 50-year-old company not only unveiled the iPhone 13 but its Pro and Pro Max variants as well. The iPhone 13 came with a wealth of improvements, such as camera and battery upgrades, including a next-generation A15 Bionic chip, making it faster and more efficient than previous models.

iPhone 1: Storage Power And Battery Life Leaks
The iPhone 13 was introduced to us as the “the most powerful iPhone yet”, but since the latest low-cost iPhone SE shares the same A15 Bionic chipset, it’s a dead cert that the iPhone 14 will offer some extra zip.
Apple watcher Ross Young says the device will feature Apple’s own A16 Bionic processor, which could be one of the first 4nm chips. If that’s the case, expect a serious power boost compared to the 5nm A15 Bionic chip in the current iPhone 13. There’s even talk of TSMC, Apple’s chip supplier, switching to a game-changing 3mn chip in 2022 .
Either way, it seems that users can expect smoother graphics, quicker responses when they make a gesture and slicker 3D maps. We’d also expect Apple to pour some of that power into some new Augmented Reality apps.
There’s is one fly in the ointment, however. The ongoing global chip shortage precipitated by the pandemic has slowed production of everything from games consoles such as the Sony PS5, to cars and smartphones. As a result, there’s some talk of Apple sticking with a 5nm chip, as it did when transitioning from the iPhone 12 to the iPhone 13. If you ask us, it sounds like Apple’s ‘worst case’ back-up plan and nothing more.
Only two Pro models would upgrade to the A16 processor, while the 14 & 14 Max will remain the A15. All four new models will likely come with 6GB RAM, with the difference being LPDDR 5 vs. LPDDR 4X . https://t.co/tHcszIz6gX

iPhone 14 Vs iPhone 1: Battery And Charging
Apple gave all iPhone 13 models a considerable increase to battery size compared to the iPhone 12 and iPhone 11, and the rumors suggest that those capacities aren’t changing much for the iPhone 14 range. That means they’ll probably still be quite a bit larger than the iPhone 11’s batteries, and as a result, last longer on a single charge.
We’ve not heard anything about new charging standards for the iPhone 14, so we should see 20W wired charging and 15W MagSafe wireless charging support on all models. The iPhone 11 series can charge up to 18W wired, and up to 7.5W wirelessly with no support for Apple’s magnetic charging pucks. That’ll make the iPhone 14 faster and simpler to power up when needed.

iPhone 14 Release Date: What The Leakers Say
The most definitive iPhone 14 release date rumor at this point comes from LeaksApplePro, who claims to have heard that Apple will host a product event in the 37th week of the year. That translates to the week of September 12.
A May report from Jeff Pu, analyst for Haitong International Securities, claims that production delays are affecting the new iPhone 14 Max model, which could push back that phone’s release. More recently, display specialist Ross Young claimed screen shipments for the iPhone 14 Max are lagging behind those for the similarly sized iPhone 14 Pro Max.
If those rumors prove true, Apple might do what it did with the iPhone 12 launch two years ago and stagger the release of this fall’s phones. We’d want to hear more details of production delays before assuming that’s the case, though.
iPhone 1: Specifications Launch Date And All The Details Of The Upcoming Apple Phone
We already have a plethora of information and rumors related to the iPhone 14 even though it hasn’t been long since the iPhone 13 series was revealed in mid-September 2021.
But while the new iPhone 13 series phones are only relatively limited upgrades compared to the previous phones, the iPhone 14 is likely to come with a major breakthrough in terms of changes.
In fact, tech blogger Jon Prosser, who has a decent record of leaks, indicated that Apple will make major changes to the design of its phones in 2022.
So far, most expectations indicate that we will finally see the end of the notch, and we will see the return of Touch ID again, a new processor with a precision of 4 nm and a possible design without any port in one of the phones. In addition, there will be no mini version anymore and that phone will be left out forever and will be replaced by a new phone that will be called iPhone 14 Max.
With that in mind, here’s everything we know so far about the iPhone 14 and what we’d like to see from Apple’s 2022 flagship. Find out about the launch date, specs, and more.

Youre Assuming Its A Live Event
This is the crucial question. If its a virtual event, then either date is possible, but my guess is that Apple will want to either have a full in-person event or a hybrid set-up such as was used for WWDC: a glossy, high-production-value movie made in advance but with an in-person screening of it. This has the advantage that if things took a turn for the worst, Covid-wise, that the in-person element can be cancelled but theres still something to show the world.
I believe that Apple will strain every muscle to have an in-person event but will have its Hollywood-blockbuster recording ready to go. | <urn:uuid:9354f644-38d9-47da-b9aa-0330c63547a0> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.iphoneverse.com/when-does-the-new-iphone-14-come-out/ | 2023-09-27T11:01:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.928896 | 3,768 |

Over the past 22 months Robert Mueller has revealed a significant amount of detail about Russia's role in the 2016 US presidential election and the activities of people linked to Donald Trump's campaign. Here is a rundown of what we have learnt, and some of the questions that remain.
Russian hackers, WikiLeaks and a self-described “dirty trickster”
Robert Mueller indicted 12 Russian military intelligence agents with hacking Hillary Clinton's campaign, the Democratic National Committee and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee – obtaining material which was damaging to the Clinton campaign.
The special counsel alleged the agents were behind the online personas that published the hacked documents and also passed portions of the emails to WikiLeaks. Operating behind their personas, the hackers discussed with WikiLeaks how to maximise the impact of the documents, according to the indictment.
None of the agents have responded to the charges.
Their indictment included a tantalising detail: the first time the hackers targeted Clinton's personal office was the day that Mr Trump, at a press conference, asked Russia to hack her emails. "Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing," he said.
Associates of Trump were keenly interested in obtaining dirt on Clinton, but there is not yet a full picture of the extent and timing of any links to WikiLeaks.
Roger Stone, a longtime political operative and self-described "dirty trickster" who was an adviser and friend to Trump, was indicted for lying to Congress on the subject.
In the indictment Stone was said to have told “senior Trump campaign officials” that WikiLeaks had damaging information on Clinton in around “June and July” 2016 – the earlier date being ahead of WikiLeaks’ first document dump in July that year.
After WikiLeaks released the first set of information, a senior Trump campaign official was directed – Mueller has not said by who – to contact Stone about any future releases by WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, according to the indictment.
When a congressional committee investigated the issue, Stone allegedly told law-makers that the source of his information was Randy Credico, a New York radio host, when it was actually Jerome Corsi, a conservative author and conspiracy theorist.
Stone has pleaded not guilty. Corsi said last year he was offered a plea deal by Mueller for alleged false statements. He rejected the offer, and has denied any wrongdoing. He was not charged by the special counsel’s office.
Corsi would tell Stone in August: “Word is friend in embassy [Assange] plans 2 more dumps. One shortly after I’m back. 2nd in Oct. Impact planned to be very damaging.”
And in October, Stone told Steve Bannon, the chairman of the Trump campaign, that WikiLeaks would release "a load every week going forward", shortly before Assange published emails belonging to John Podesta, Clinton's campaign chairman.
The questions remaining:
What did WikiLeaks know about the identity of the hackers?
Was the timing of the attack on Clinton’s personal office coincidence or something darker?
Who ordered the outreach to Stone?
Where did Corsi get his information about WikiLeaks from?
Russia’s social media campaign to sow chaos and aid Trump
Mueller indicted 13 Russians – including Yevgeny Prigozhin, a businessman known as "Putin's chef" – and three organisations, including the Internet Research Agency, a Russian troll agency, for running an online propaganda campaign in the lead up to and during the 2016 election.
None of the individuals have responded to the case in court, but one corporate entity has challenged the prosecution through US lawyers.
The defendants allegedly created false US online personas, Facebook pages and Twitter profiles, seizing on highly emotive and controversial cultural and political topics "to sow discord". The overall aim was to support Trump and disparage Clinton, but they played both sides, according to the indictment.
When the case was announced, Rod Rosenstein, the outgoing deputy attorney-general who has overseen the Mueller inquiry, emphasised the charges did not accuse any American of knowingly aiding the propaganda effort.
Mueller's investigation highlighted contacts between Trump aides and Russians. The most famous of the contacts between the Trump campaign and Russian individuals is a meeting in Trump Tower in New York in June 2016, when Donald Trump Jr, Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort met a Russian lawyer promising dirt on Clinton.
That meeting was revealed in press reports, and Mueller did not bring any charges in connection with it. However, Mueller’s work described other contacts.
Manafort, a lobbyist who was for a time Trump's campaign manager, was prosecuted by Mueller for crimes unrelated to the 2016 campaign but the actions brought out intriguing new details. The special counsel accused Manafort of lying in interviews about his contacts with Konstantin Kilimnik, a business associate who the US has accused of having active ties with Russian intelligence.
The contacts appear to have included discussions about a peace plan between Ukraine and Russia during the 2016 campaign, and the apparent sharing of polling data on the presidential race, though the full story has been obscured in heavily redacted court filings.
Kilimnik was indicted for attempted witness tampering in Manafort’s case. Believed to be in Russia, he denies any wrongdoing or connection to Russian intelligence.
Michael Flynn, a former national security adviser to Trump, was the first person publicly indicted by Mueller, charged with lying to the FBI about his contacts with the Russian ambassador during the transition after Trump won the 2016 election but before he was inaugurated.
He lied about asking the ambassador to avoid retaliation for sanctions President Barack Obama had imposed on Russia because of its meddling in the election. The ambassador told him that Russia decided not to impose its own sanctions on the US as a result of Flynn's request.
Flynn also lied about asking the ambassador to vote against a UN Security Council resolution condemning Israeli settlements.
And then there was George Papadopoulos, a Trump campaign foreign policy adviser who lied to the FBI about his attempts to build contacts with Russian officials and his interactions with Joseph Mifsud, a London-based professor who told him the Russians had "dirt" on Clinton in the form of "thousands of emails".
Papadopoulos joined the Trump campaign in March 2016, and understood his role to be laying the groundwork for better US-Russia relations, which was a goal Trump frequently highlighted as a candidate.
He attempted to use Mifsud’s Russia connections to arrange a meeting between the Trump campaign and Russian government officials, keeping Trump representatives abreast of his progress.
His activities sparked the FBI’s counter-intelligence investigation into Russia’s role in the 2016 campaign. He pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI and co-operated with the special counsel, though Mueller said his co-operation was not extensive or particularly useful. He spent 12 days in prison.
Flynn has co-operated extensively with Mueller. What has he told the special counsel?
Was Kilimnik merely a player in Manafort’s personal business dealings, or did he have a role in a wider Russian effort to interfere with the 2016 election?
Does Papadopoulos’ case hold a broader significance, or was he merely a bit player?
What became of Mifsud?
Trump business ambitions in Moscow
The Trump Organisation had long flirted with an idea of building a Trump Tower in Moscow. But was the company pursuing the idea even while Trump was running for office, something that might have influenced his foreign policy views with regard to Russia?
Michael Cohen, Mr Trump's longtime lawyer and fixer, pleaded guilty to lying to Congress about his efforts to strike a deal in Moscow when Trump was a candidate for president in 2016.
The special counsel’s office said Cohen lied to “minimise links” between the project and Trump. “In the hopes of limiting the ongoing Russia investigations”, he gave the “false impression” that the project ended before the first Republican primary that year, according to court filings.
But rather than discussions for the project ending in January 2016, Cohen discussed getting Russian government approval for the tower as late as June with Felix Sater, a convicted felon and former associate of Trump. Cohen discussed the tower with Trump more than three times, he claimed to Congress, and "briefed [Trump] family members".
He also tried to arrange for Trump to travel to Russia to secure the deal following the Republican convention in Cleveland, and told Sater: “My trip before Cleveland. Trump once he becomes the nominee after the convention.”
Cohen had told Congress he contacted the office of Putin's spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, but got no response. In fact, he spoke to an assistant in the office and requested help with the tower project. The day after the call Sater told Cohen: "It's about [Putin] they called today."
What role if any did Trump or the White House have in Cohen's false testimony?
How did the Russian government view Cohen’s and Sater’s efforts?

We're having a custom home built down in the Lake Weir vicinity. The house we're building has about 2500 sq ft of living space and about 2500 sq ft of garage space, including a 45'x16'x16' RV garage with FULL HOOK-UPs. The RV garage along with the concrete visitors pad outside were poured to handle the increased weight of 5th wheels, our REDWOOD 38GK weighs in a 16,600lbs. The outside pad will also have water and 50amp service for our visiting RV friends. We will also have a screened-in solar heated pool just out the back of the lanai. Turn-key for the home should be in early March.
Lake Weir (Ocklawaha) Florida is a little over an hour NW of Orlando and about an hour from either coast. We're also about 10 minutes north of The Villages but we don't have any HOA restrictions as they have, but we can make use of their medical, retail, and entertainment infrastructure.
If you're a retired or soon will be retired baby boomer, you may want to check this place out.

The developer is a little eccentric on these video clips; however, they are totally professional when they're working through you home design and construction project with you; flooring, counter-tops, doors/windows, pool design, and sinks/and bathroom selections, etc. The different vendors have been great working through our selections.
Their contractor has been awesome also (having been a family run business since 1871). Up until recently, this company has been building $1.5+ million dollar homes and upper-end commercial projects bringing a higher quality of workmanship into these housing projects.
We have been totally satisfied and impressed with the whole project so far.

This paper describes the variation of yield stress under cyclic loads after applying large pre-deformation. In this research, the Natural Strain is used as a strain representation for describing an elastoplastic behavior under large deformation. Using test pieces which is already given a pre-deformation of large simple shear, the yield stress under cyclic shear loads in the forward direction and the reverse direction is examined. As for the method for estimating yield stress in each cycle, the slope of a tangent in the principal deviatoric stress and the principal deviatoric strain curve is adopted. The experiments are conducted with the different sizes of pre-deformation and strain amplitude in order to reveal the effect of pre-deformation on the yield phenomenon. Then, these experimental results are compared with the results of yield stress in the previous study, which is obtained under cyclic load for tension and compression after applying the large uniaxial tension.

After the temporary shutdown of the Sterigenics facility in Willowbrook (IL), La Grange trustees say they will continue to actively participate in efforts to protect public health.
The Sterigenics facility in Willowbrook, suspended operations after the Feb. 15 issuance of a seal order from the Illinois EPA. The seal came after the facility’s refusal to voluntarily shut down after the EPA released a report that reflected elevated levels of ethaline-oxide in the surrounding area of the facility.
Exposure to ethaline-oxide can cause a number of symptoms, including sore throat, blurred vision, difficulty breathing, headaches and vomiting, among others, according to OSHA. Overexposure to ethaline-oxide also can cause leukemia and other cancers as well as genetic damage.
La Grange City Manager Andrianna Peterson said the EPA will continue to monitor the facility and will release new data, including information gathered from 16 additional air-quality testing dates. That data will be factored into a risk assessment that is expected to be released in the spring.
Active efforts include a Jan. 28 letter from Village President Thomas Livingston to the acting administration of the EPA urging a shutdown, a meeting between Livingston, U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski, D-Western Springs, and other legislators, conferences attended by other Village Board members and votes in support of efforts to shut down Sterigenics.
Trustee Mark Kuchler, who served as acting president at the board’s Feb. 25 meeting, represented the village at a Feb. 8 news conference in Chicago, calling for the shutdown. While there, he spoke with Lipinski, State Rep. Jim Durkin, R-Western Springs, and other legislative and municipal leaders involved in the efforts to protect those located near Sterigenics.
Information on the shutdown and related government links can be found on the village of La Grange website. | <urn:uuid:f3ace726-a68e-476e-8a1d-903112eb1df7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.ishn.com/articles/110409-ill-facility-temporarily-shuts-down-after-ethylene-oxide-exposures | 2023-09-27T11:43:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.944271 | 397 |

Minister of Industry Tourism and Investment, Caroline Wawzonek addressed members of Northwest Territories Tourism (NWTT) on Wednesday at their annual general meeting and conference in Hay River. Minister of Industry Tourism and Investment, Caroline Wawzonek addressed members of Northwest Territories Tourism (NWTT) on Wednesday at their annual general meeting and conference in Hay River.
In a recorded address, she commended tourism operators for their resilience noting “(ITI) programs would not have been successful without the tourism industry making such positive and thoughtful use of them.”
The Minister drew on her own “bucket list level” experiences in the communities of Délı̨nę and Łutselk'e to highlight two of the strongest themes for predicted industry growth in 2022: Indigenous cultural experiences and opportunities for sustainable or regenerative tourism.
“Jurisdictions are thinking about where or how to create these products...(yet) authentic experiences and sustainable tourism is a big part of what we already have in the NWT”, she said.
Acknowledging that there is still significant post-pandemic recovery that needs to happen, the Minister expressed her confidence in the ability of the NWT’s tourism sector to collectively succeed.

The Role of a Broward County Attorney in Criminal Cases
In a criminal case, the role of a Broward County attorney is to represent individuals who have been accused of committing a crime. They must defend their clients to the best of their ability, and ensure that their rights are protected throughout the legal process. The criminal justice system can be complicated, and navigating it without legal representation can make the situation worse. The criminal justice system is designed to protect the rights of the accused, but without a good criminal defense attorney, those rights could be ignored.
Providing Legal Advice
One of the primary roles of a Broward County attorney in a criminal case is to provide legal advice to their clients. They must explain the charges against their clients, what they mean, and what potential penalties could occur. Understanding the charges against them can help their clients make informed decisions about their defense, and could help them avoid a worse outcome.
Representation in Court
A criminal defense attorney is responsible for representing their clients in court. During the trial, the defense attorney will present evidence, cross-examine witnesses, and make objections if necessary. Defense attorneys will also present opening and closing statements, which can help the judge and jury understand their client’s perspective. Professionalism and experience in the courtroom are important. Broward County attorneys with experience in criminal defense know how to present their client’s case in the best way possible to try to reach a positive outcome.
A plea bargain is an agreement between the prosecution and the defense where the defendant agrees to plead guilty. In exchange, the prosecution will drop some of the charges, reduce the sentence, or suggest a reduced penalty. Broward County attorneys must evaluate every case carefully to determine if a plea bargain is a good option. In some cases, a plea bargain can be the best option, but in others, it may not be. If the defendant does not accept a plea bargain, the case will go to trial.
Criminal Defense Strategies
Broward County attorneys must devise and execute legal strategies that can help their clients. They must carefully review evidence, interview witnesses, and examine the prosecutor’s case to try to find weaknesses or flaws in the prosecution case. Defense attorneys must also seek out positive evidence to support the client’s case. With good negotiations skills and strong litigation skills, they can present alternative or lesser charges that can benefit their clients.
Advocating for Defendants’ Rights
Criminal defense attorneys must advocate for their clients’ rights at all times. They must ensure that their clients receive due process of law and are not unfairly targeted by law enforcement. They must also advise their clients of their rights and the possible outcomes of their case. An experienced Broward County attorney can make sure that their clients’ rights are protected throughout the trial and minimize the impact of any potential consequences.
|Expertise in Criminal Law||Legal Fees Can Be Expensive|

- Knowledge and Skills: Broward County attorneys have a comprehensive knowledge of Florida criminal laws and court procedures. Such knowledge equips them with the skills to navigate the legal system and create strong defense strategies, leading to a better chance of success.
- Objectivity in Evaluating Cases: Defense attorneys provide an objective analysis of the evidence, testimony and arguments presented by the prosecution. A defense lawyer can critically examine the strength and weaknesses of the case through objective analysis, leading to a better chance of successfully defending the client.
- Experience in Negotiating Plea Bargains: Experienced attorneys have a deep understanding of the prosecution’s position and can use it to negotiate better plea bargain terms. This often leads to less severe sentencing and reduced charges, ultimately resulting in a better outcome for the client.
In conclusion, the role of a Broward County attorney in criminal cases is crucial. They provide legal advice, represent clients in court, and devise strategies that can help their clients get the best outcome possible. Criminal defense attorneys must advocate for their clients’ rights and defend them against harsh punishments. With professionalism, experience, and knowledge, a Broward County attorney can help clients navigate the complicated criminal justice system to receive the best legal outcome.

The Venerable God of Brahm (the Giver of the Knowledge of Gita) is Purna Brahm (Supreme God)
(Gist of Bhagavad Gita Adhyay 18)
The speaker of Bhagavad Gita in Adhyay 18 Shlok 62 is instructing Arjun to go in to the refuge of some other Supreme God to attain Supreme Peace and Eternal Place.
Then he further says that this God that I am pointing you towards is my Supreme God too.
Gita Adhyay 18 Shlok 62
Tam, ev, sharnm, gachchh, sarvbhaaven, bharat,
Tatprsaadaat, paraam, shaantim, sthaanm, praapsyasi, shaashvatam
Translation: (Bharat) Oh Bharat! You (sarvbhaaven) in every respect (tam) that Parmeshwar/Supreme God hidden in the darkness of ignorance (ev) only (sharnm) in the refuge (gachchh) go (tatprsaadaat) by grace of that Supreme God /Parmatma, you (paraam) supreme (shaantim) peace and (shaashvatam) the everlasting, Sat (sthaanm) place – dhaam – lok (praapsyasi) will attain.
Translation: Oh Bharat! You, in every respect, go in the refuge of only that Supreme God hidden in the darkness of ignorance. By the grace of that Supreme God, you will attain the supreme peace and the everlasting – Sat lok (place-dhaam).
In Gita Adhyay 18 Shlok 64, it has been said that now again hear the most confidential knowledge of all confidential knowledge that this very Purna Parmatma (about whom there is a mention in Adhyay 18 Shlok 62) is my definite venerable God i.e. I (Brahm / Kshar Purush) also worship Him. I will say this in your benefit.
(Because God Brahm, the giver of the knowledge of Gita, has also given this very information in Gita Adhyay 15 Shlok 4, in which he has said that I am in the refuge of that same Aadi Purush Parmeshwar that is why he has said here that again hear this most confidential of the confidential knowledge.)
Important — The other translators of Gita have done wrong translation. They have written the meaning of “IshtH asi me drdam iti” as “you are dear to me”; whereas, the correct meaning is "God". Please read below—
Gita Adhyay 18 Shlok 64
Sarvguhyatmm bhooyH, shrnu, me, parmm, vachH,
ishtH, asi, me drdam, iti tatH, vakshyami, te, hitam ll64ll
Translation: (Sarvguhyatmm) the most confidential of all confidential (me) my (parmm) utmost mysterious (hitam) beneficial (vachH) words (te) to you (bhooyH) again (vakshyami) will say (tatH) these (shrnu) listen to (iti) this Purna Brahm (me) my (drdam) definite (ishtH) venerable God (asi) is.
Translation: I will again say the most confidential of all confidential, my utmost mysterious beneficial words to you, listen to these — this Purna Brahm is my definite venerable God.
God Brahm (Kaal God / Kshar Purush), the giver of the knowledge of Gita, is saying in Gita Adhyay 18 Shlok 65 that if you want to remain in my refuge then worship me with undivided attention. Abandon the worship of other gods (Brahma, Vishnu, Shiv) and Pitras etc. Then you will attain me only i.e. you will go to the Mahaswarg (Great Heaven) built in Brahmlok. I truly promise this to you. You are dear to me.
Then again the speaker of Bhagavad Gita says to Arjun in Gita Adhyay 18 Shlok 66 that if you want to go in the refuge of that (Ekam / One) Unique God i.e. who is unequalled, the Almighty, the Creator of all the brahmands and the sustainer of all, then leave the sadhna(worship) of my level, which is the earnings of the jaap of Om naam, and the other religious scripturebased yagya in me (as a result of which you will become free from my debt). Go (vraj) in the refuge of that One (Ekam) Supreme God i.e. One who has no match. I will liberate you from all the sins (the debts of Kaal); you do not worry.
Important — The other translators of Gita have done wrong translation of Shlok 66 (see above). They have written the meaning of ‘Vraj’ as ‘Come’, whereas ‘Vraj’ means ‘Go’. Please read the actual translation below —
Gita Adhyay 18 Shlok 66
Sarvdharmaan, parityajya, mam, ekam, sharnm, vraj,
Aham, tva, sarvpaapebhyaH, mokshyishyami, ma, shuchH ll 66 ll
Translation: (Sarvdharmaan) all my religious practices (mam) in me (parityajya) abandoning, you only (ekam) of that one Purna Parmatma (sharnm) in the refuge (vraj) go (aham) I (tva) you (sarvpapebhyaH) from all the sins (mokshyishyami) will liberate, you (ma, shuchH) do not grieve.
Translation: Abandoning all my religious practices in me, you go in the refuge of that one Purna Parmatma (Supreme God). I will liberate you from all the sins; you do not grieve.
God Brahm (the speaker of Bhagavad Gita) has given very decisive knowledge at two levels. He says to Arjun that if you worship me with one mind then you will achieve me but if you want to achieve eternal place and supreme happiness then go in to the refuge of that Supreme God.

JAMIX originated from a recipe program made by Mikko Jaatinen. The local vocational school became interested in the program and after that, the program was sold at a fast pace to dozens of professional kitchens already within the first year. Soon, custom programs were built to manage inventory and meal orders. These three programs together formed a comprehensive professional kitchen management system for all sizes and types of kitchens.
For the first few years, Mikko Jaatinen took care of everything alone. As the business grew, more employees were hired. At the turn of the century, the customer-base already consisted of a wide range of both public and private-sector companies. The software was continuously developed, and the number of customers increased steadily. After the mid-2000s, JAMIX received an inquiry from Australia: Mikko and his family left for Australia and started export business.
As the operating systems developed, the JAMIX program was re-created in the 2010s as a web-based version. The company’s customer base grew and its staff as well. In the late 2010s, the focus of exports was shifted to the United States. Mikko Jaatinen repacked his belongings and moved to the United States to be closer to potential customers. As a result of the major export project, JAMIX signed an agreement with Yale Hospitality in 2019.
Listening to customers’ needs, uninterrupted product development, and enthusiasm for developing solutions to facilitate the daily work of professional kitchens have been the base of JAMIX for 30 years. Today, over 1,000,000 meals a day are prepared with JAMIX software. As we move into the new decade, the program is being developed more than ever. | <urn:uuid:c7ed2f5d-f915-4ac1-b6c8-2d3bf9291042> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.jamix.com/blog/jamix-has-been-making-kitchens-work-already-for-30-years/ | 2023-09-27T12:17:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.982893 | 353 |
Central America: Entrepreneurship vs. Charity
"Educate ourselves. It is really hard to be empathic and understand the challenges and the obstacles from the United States; from our safe and secure place. I will invite everybody to connect, ask questions, to learn, to put ourselves in those situations and take some type of action.
I'm here to collect ideas, to collect funds that will increase our opportunities for our interventions to succeed."
- Patricia Funegra

A landmark 2018 case in California is affecting the scrupulousness of employers all across the state. In Roderick Magadia v. Wal-Mart Associates, Inc, a terminated Wal-Mart stock associate led a class-action lawsuit over the details on his paycheck.
The judge ordered more than $100 million in compensation for wage discrepancies and penalties for violations of California Labor Code.
California Labor Code
California Labor Code requires that employees receive accurate and itemized paychecks accounting for their hours and rates in detail. These laws dictate that wage statements that do not itemize these details accurately may result in penalties for employers. These requirements do not simply apply to base pay but also to any bonuses, meal credits and overtime.
Roderick Magadia v. Wal-Mart Associates, Inc
When a Wal-Mart in San Diego terminated Roderick Magadia for absenteeism, he noticed some issues on his final paycheck. Most notably, he realized that the pay period did not include start and end dates, and that his overtime, bonuses and meal credits neglected to report the pay rate or number of hours worked. Magadia brought a lawsuit against Wal-Mart that turned into a class action by many similarly- affected Wal-Mart employees.
After an extensive analysis of pay owed against pay received, the court found that while Magadia did not have significant discrepancies in his pay, other plaintiffs in the case did. They also found that Wal-Mart had been in violation of state employment laws for reporting dollar amounts with no itemized accounting of hours or rates.
The judge ordered more than $100 million in damages from Wal-Mart, some to cover underpaid wages but much more in penalties for violating California wage laws. According to the National Law Review, this could set a precedent for employers to face significant fines for similar violations regardless of whether or not the employees were underpaid.
This may give reason enough for employees to look into their paychecks for discrepancies or missing itemization. Wal-Mart is currently appealing the case. | <urn:uuid:8d1ea404-1ae8-4f92-9649-06449f4d8f56> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.jcl-lawfirm.com/blog/2020/07/wage-statement-class-action-results-in-100-million-award-2/ | 2023-09-27T13:09:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510297.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20230927103312-20230927133312-00299.warc.gz | en | 0.966308 | 411 |

Nebraska: Facebook Private Personal Messages = NOT PRIVATE - Facebook gave police private data - now 17 yr old being tried as adult
8-10-22, Guardian -- In the wake of the USA supreme court’s upheaval of the abortion law - Roe v Wade, tech workers and privacy advocates expressed concern about how the user data tech companies like Facebook stored their private data and could be used against women seeking abortions. Mark Zuckerberg said the company’s ongoing push to encrypt messaging would help protect people from “bad behavior or over-broad requests for information”. However, according to the Lincoln Journal Star when local Nebraska police came knocking in June 2022 – before Roe v Wade was officially overturned on 6/24/22 – Facebook handed the personal user data of a mother and daughter facing criminal charges for allegedly carrying out an illegal abortion. The private messages between the two women - who were discussing how to obtain abortion pills - were given to police by Facebook. The 17-year-old was more than 20 weeks pregnant and in Nebraska abortions are banned after 20 weeks of pregnancy -t he teenager is now being tried as an adult.
