When it comes to beginning a fitness journey, many people don’t quite know where to begin. The importance of a healthy diet and an adequate amount of excursive it stressed in all aspects of advice when it comes to maintaining or beginning a healthy lifestyle. So many different diet programs and exercise programs offer a bunch of different guidelines that can ultimately be quite confusing for some.
One man, Daniel J. Green, decided to follow the federal dietary and exercise guidelines for a year in order to obtain a healthier way of life. He chronicled his journey and after a year of being committed to his mission, released all of the outcomes for the public to see. Daniel claims that he managed to be successful in his journey by “making a series of small, manageable changes”.
He claim that this allowed him to completely shift his dietary choices in a healthier direction.
At the beginning of the year, Daniel weighed in at around 244 1/2 lbs, with a high body fat percentage of 26.9%. By day 365, Daniel had dropped down to 210 lbs and had also dropped his body fat percentage to 22.2%.
His vitals, cholesterol, muscular function, and stamina all improved and Daniel claims to be in the best shape he has been in in a very long time. After ending his year long journey, he admits to not following the guidelines exactly and because of this has put on aa few pounds. However, he is still happier and healthier than ever. | <urn:uuid:444559e8-c270-4fd1-a660-0b92ea27c41c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://bobshideout.com/this-man-followed-federal-diet-and-exercise-guidelines-for-a-year/ | 2023-09-28T18:42:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.978012 | 301 |
It was a scene right out of your imagination: bills were scattered on a freeway and motorists were stopping their cars to collect wads of cash. On videos posted to social media, people are holding more money than what can fit in their hands. Here's one that's absolutely nuts:
The incident, which happened on Friday morning, is the result of an armored truck malfunction. Here's what a California highway patrol sergeant said:
"One of the doors popped open and bags of cash fell out. One of the bags broke apart, and there was cash all over the lanes."
He said authorities plan to use social media videos and photos to track down anyone who fails to return the money.
"If you found money on the freeway, it is not your money," Martin told local news station KCRA. "It belongs to the FDIC and this armored truck and the bank. It needs to be returned."Washington Post
Turns out that "free money" is too good to be true. | <urn:uuid:d2cb85be-8c6c-449f-bf56-0a7537ecd065> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://boingboing.net/2021/11/24/a-san-diego-freeway-was-raining-money-after-an-armored-truck-incident.html | 2023-09-28T19:10:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.978352 | 203 |
WELL, THIS IS AWKWARD...
With the Potimas problem officially behind us (like, for real this time), I can finally focus on destroying this god-awful system!…is what I’d like to say. But it looks like a certain someone won’t let that happen without a fight. I swear, every time you think you’re about to blaze through the final encounter, the devs crank out a hotfix. And by that, I mean D decided to activate some World Quest that clued the entire population in on the fate of the world. So now everyone has to pick a side in this battle of the gods— Black or White. And no matter who they side with, they’re probably gonna die. Sucks, right? Well, how do you think I feel?! Do you think I asked to be put in the middle of all this?! No waaay!
It’s Set-up as a Set-up for the final battle. White faces her most worthy for yet… her classmates. THAT’S RIGHT! After 14 volumes, she is finally forced to confront her fellow classmates! She looks around for ANYONE who can be her interpreter. Vampy? Hard Pass. Look! She’s not even paying attention! So much so, she’s sound asleep! And Mr. Oni? No such luck either. He’s leaning against the wall on her left looking like a smooth criminal. So it’s up to White to break out of her anti-social shell… yeah right. She’d rather have a full-on, All-out fight with Güille Güille. No holds barred, all bets off, good, old fashioned fist-a-cuffs. Surely THAT is a whole world easier….right? Right?!

Lie Beside Me: A Novel (Jonah Sheens Detective Series #3)
He’s lying next to you. He’s not breathing. . . . And the killer might have been you.
Detective Chief Inspector Jonah Sheens is on the trail in this explosive crime novel from the acclaimed author of She Lies in Wait and Watching from the Dark.
“Secrets and self-sabotage abound in this gripping psychological thriller.”—The Guardian
Louise wakes up. Her head aches, her mouth is dry, her memory is fuzzy—but she suspects she’s done something bad.
She rolls over toward her husband, Niall. The man who, until recently, made her feel loved.
But it’s not Niall lying beside her. In fact, she’s never seen this man before.
And he’s not breathing. . . .
As Louise desperately struggles to piece her memories back together, it’s clear to Jonah Sheens and his team that she is their prime suspect—though they soon find she’s not the only one with something to hide.
Did she do it? And, if not, can they catch the real killer before they strike again?
In this gripping novel, a young woman finds that trying to make sense of her life’s bad choices might prove the most dangerous reckoning there is.

It’s a frustrating feeling when you check your bank account and find that you’ve been hit with overdraft fees. These fees can quickly add up and put a dent in your finances. However, there’s good news – you can often get overdraft fees refunded if you follow the right steps. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through the process of how to get overdraft fees refunded.
What are overdraft fees?
Before we dive into the strategies to get overdraft fees refunded, let’s first understand what overdraft fees are. Overdraft fees are bank fees charged to people who have less money in their checking account than the minimum balance required to avoid having any fees applied.
They’re usually charged within three days of you using your debit card to make purchases. To prevent overdrafts, you should always make sure you have enough money in your bank account to cover any purchases you make. It’s also a good idea to always keep your balance under $10,000 to avoid being charged with overdraft fees.
How To Get an Overdraft Fee Refunded
Must follow these steps;
- Act immediately
- Connect with customer service
- Escalate to a Manager and Mention Your Loyalty
- Try a Refund App
You should act immediately if you want to get your overdraft fees refunded. It can be a good idea to write down the charges that have been added to your account and ask for a refund from your bank. When you call your bank, you should ask about this right away. Your bank may not have the money available to pay the fee immediately. You can try to convince them to waive the fee if you know the situation. Don’t give up hope.
You should be persistent until you get a refund. And be sure to follow the rules of your bank if you want to get a refund. You should be sure to write a letter to your bank and mention all the charges that have been added to your account.
Connect with customer service
Connect with customer service and ask them for a refund. Ask them if they will waive any charges if you can prove that you have no intention of making a payment. If you call your bank, you should be very polite. Never be sarcastic or insulting. You should be nice and pleasant. Be prepared with the information you need to help you get a refund.
Make sure that you know the details of the charges and what kind of situation you are in. It’s a good idea to print out your statement and bring it with you when you talk to your bank. You can even make a photocopy of your statement to save yourself from having to write the information down.
Escalate to a Manager and Mention Your Loyalty
If the initial customer service representative can’t help, ask to speak to a manager or supervisor. They often have more authority to make decisions regarding fee refunds. Reiterate your case and remain persistent. If you’ve been a long-standing customer with a good track record, don’t hesitate to mention it. Banks value customer loyalty and may be more inclined to accommodate your request.
Try a Refund App
There are lots of apps that will help you to get your money back when banks have overcharged you. You can download these apps from the Apple app store and Android. These apps allow you to check for overdrafts on a regular basis and to see what banks are charging you.
Many of these apps will also help you to set up alerts for when you are going to be charged. These apps can be very helpful. You should read the reviews of the apps before you use them. You may want to use them in conjunction with one another.
Can You Get Overdraft Fees Waived?
If you pay your own bills and don’t have any credit cards, you should check your bank statements regularly to make sure that you don’t incur any overdraft fees. Your bank may charge you a fee if you don’t make payments on time or if you don’t have enough money to cover your current balance. If you pay for your own bills, you should be aware of these fees. You can also sign up for alerts so that you will be notified whenever you are about to incur an overdraft fee.
How to Avoid Overdraft Fees
There are a few things you can do to avoid getting an overdraft fee.
Closely monitor your bank account balance
This means that you should pay attention to your bank statement on a regular basis. You may want to compare your bank statement to your budget to make sure that you don’t spend too much money. You may find that you are spending too much money if your budget is not balanced. Your bank may want to charge you an overdraft fee if your budget isn’t balanced.
Opt out of overdraft protection
Some banks offer overdraft protection services that automatically transfer funds from another linked account or credit card to cover overdrafts. However, these services might come with fees. You can choose to opt out of these services and have transactions declined when you don’t have sufficient funds.
Link to Savings Account:
If your bank allows, link your checking account to a savings account. If your checking account balance is low, funds can automatically be transferred from your savings account to cover any potential overdrafts.
Use Account Alerts
Enable account alerts for large transactions or payments, so you can be alerted when they go through.This can prevent unexpected large withdrawals from causing overdrafts.
By implementing these strategies, you can significantly reduce the risk of overdrawing your account and incurring costly overdraft fees. Remember, the key is to stay vigilant and proactive in managing your finances.
Getting overdraft fees refunded is a realistic goal that requires persistence, honesty, and effective communication. By following the outlined steps and alternatives, you can potentially save yourself from unnecessary financial strain and maintain a positive relationship with your bank. | <urn:uuid:f7b7327e-ae48-41e3-a57e-16a4e2caae7f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://bovtiy.com/how-to-get-overdraft-fees-refunded/ | 2023-09-28T17:23:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.942389 | 1,254 |
We had mostly low and off colored water in May. The fishing was fantastic as usual. the best bugs were as follows…big Stones, eggs, midges, Streamers in black and green, pink worms and a variety of nymphs.
Nick is holding a nice example of the Brown Trout that were caught in May…they weren’t all 25 inchers. Anglers landed lots of fish in the 25-29 inch range that weighed in at right around 7-8 lbs. Of course the really big ones got away.
June will be a great month to visit us and land your own trophy. Call one of our outfitters today and book your next trip. | <urn:uuid:a34db19e-6e32-4bde-ac4d-ddd4236621a4> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://boxwoodgulch.com/2010/05/30/report_134/ | 2023-09-28T19:05:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.978555 | 139 |
We had flows of 200+cfs of gin clear water, with most of it from Dillon Reservoir through Roberts Tunnel.The fish loved it. They stayed quite active and willing to play all month. I had numerous reports of 30 inch + fish being landed almost every day….Sometimes 3-4 fish of trophy size on the same trip. Fish like the one Mike is holding were landed at both Boxwood and Long Meadow. Mike landed this one at Long Meadow fishing with his guide Geno on a 5280 Angler trip.
We expect good flows all winter so we plan to stay open as long as weather permits. Dress for the conditions and get your shot at some trophy winter fishing.The clubhouse will be warm and cozy. If your arm gets tired from landing trophy fish turn on the big screen tv and relax watching your favorite game then step back in the river for more fishing action. Check with one of our Authorized Outfitters for current conditions. | <urn:uuid:4b474956-fd93-4262-a7ad-2faa5c51938c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://boxwoodgulch.com/2018/10/27/october-fishing-report-2/ | 2023-09-28T16:47:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.967579 | 194 |

Cleaning window blinds is not always a straightforward process, so if you're wondering how to easily do it without taking them down from the windows, this guide can provide answers. Regularly cleaning your blinds is essential for keeping them in good condition and avoiding dust bunnies. Fortunately, we have plenty of tips on what materials are needed as well as easy-to-follow steps detailing both basic maintenance and deep clean techniques. You'll be able to take care of stains that just won't seem to go away with our guidance!
Goodbye dirtiness and hello brightness - follow these useful guidelines now so say goodbye stubborn filth & hello sparkling surfaces!
Maintaining the look and lifespan of your window blinds is simple: regularly dust them with a dry microfiber cloth often. The amount of dirt and debris that accumulates over time, if unchecked, can be pretty astounding! For wood models specifically, light wiping each week should do it. While for vinyl types, deep cleaning every month to two months will ensure they stay clean without too much buildup on them, lying down flat may make this task simpler.
But apart from aesthetics, there's also an air-health benefit when you keep those blinds clean and sparkling: by reducing allergens like pet hair or just plain dustyness in the house itself – making regular cleaning a priority isn't such a bad idea after all!
Window blinds come in several shapes such as horizontal, vertical, mini and full venetian blinds. There are many more options offered for a diverse array of materials that all need different cleaning procedures to ensure the best outcome. For example, metal blinds can be polished with furniture polish resulting in a stunning gleam whereas vinyl or plastic variants should have an all-purpose cleaner tested on them beforehand before getting deeper cleaned. Fabric varieties require being soaked using mild detergent mixed into warm water while faux wood counterparts don't demand much care and offer cost effectiveness along with less upkeep than real wood ones do when it comes to keeping away dust from home environments after having been adequately wiped clean of dirt particles during proper cleaning routines.
Having the right materials and tools at your disposal can ensure that you effectively clean blinds. A good choice of vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment, paired with an all-purpose cleaning product and microfiber cloths, is essential.

COVID-19 led to a huge spike in eCommerce. Why? Millions of Americans started to work, exercise, eat, and entertain themselves without going out of their homes. However, COVID also resulted in the closure of a huge number of businesses. Many people were looking to open a new business. That’s where business funding like a cash advance came into play.
COVID Business Boom & Shock
The COVID-19-related situation proved to be beneficial for some business sectors like eCommerce, while it was devastating for others. So many businesses closed their doors forever. Lots of new ones were launched all of a sudden. Specifically, entrepreneurs opened over 500,000 new businesses from mid-2020 to mid-2021 as compared to what was registered from mid-2018 to mid-2019.
COVID-19 facilitated the way suppliers, investors, and sales contacted. The move to work-from-home, remote, distributed, and direct-to-consumer business models got accelerated. On the other hand, brick-and-mortar restaurants got hurt severely, and delivery boomed.
As for gyms and yoga studios, these businesses were impacted negatively, but the interest in personal fitness equipment rose. When it comes to the healthcare and banking sectors, these were battered but not killed, as McKinsey analysis shows.
COVID-19 Impact on Insurtechs & Fintechs
When in the spring of 2020 the shutdowns were still continuing in the U.S., over 3 million businesses ceased to operate. The latter half of 2020 witnessed a surge in the applications for new businesses. This was the highest rate that the 17 years’ data from the government showed, according to the University of Maryland.
Many business owners fell into a challenging situation concerning their loan payments. Others are starting to look for access to additional working capital to keep their doors open. Insurtechs and fintechs were two of the most responsive companies to customers amid COVID-19. These were the first to offer COVID-related products.
That’s where reputable business funding providers stepped in. There was a significant increase in the number of merchants applying to alternative online lenders to get quick access to funding such as a cash advance. If you’re interested in this type of financing, make sure you’re applying for reliable and low cost services.
COVID-19: Opened & Closed Businesses
The COVID-19 related lockdowns and other measures hit businesses in a way that many weren’t able to withstand the shock. Lots of merchants needed access to financing such as a merchant cash advance.

TV viewership: Sports’ loss is news genre’s gain in first-half of 2020
As per the latest BARC India report, the news genre viewership was up 43% during the first 26 weeks this year, compared to the corresponding period in 2019...
As per the latest BARC India report, the news genre viewership was up 43% during the first 26 weeks this year, compared to the corresponding period in 2019.
The viewership of business news genre also went up by 44%, while that of kids and movie genres surged by 31% and 19%.
During the period, the overall TV viewership during the period was up by 9% due to the government enforced lockdown but some genres including sports and youth, suffered a major slump in their viewership.
For the sports genre, an absence of live sports for over three months and deferment of the Indian Premier League (IPL) resulted in a drop of 67% viewership during the first half.
In the primetime alone, the drop for the sports genre was much higher at 79%.

Experts said that drop in youth channels’ viewership was expected due to lack of original content and core viewers’ migration to digital platforms.
The overall drop in the youth genre was 20%.
“Youth genre had nothing new to offer and India being predominantly a single TV household country, families don’t watch youth channels sitting together. Even the core audience – 18-24 year olds – don’t like to sit with parents or younger siblings and watch TV,” said a media agency executive.
The popular music genre on TV also posted a 9% fall in viewership.
Interestingly, the movie genre continued to attract viewers in absence of original content on general entertainment channels (GECs).
While movie channels’ viewership was up by 19%, GECs were saved by repeat telecasts of iconic shows on Doordarshan and other channels.

The GEC genre clocked an overall 2% increase in viewership during the first half.
Sunil Lulla, CEO, BARC India said that on TV, the recent weeks show growth in primetime viewership, which is more pronounced in South than the Hindi speaking markets, however, it is still lower than pre-Covid-19 period.
When it comes to advertising, brands advertised for a total of 683 million seconds during January-June 2020 across 615 TV channels.
This was 13% lower than 790 million seconds of advertising volumes in the same period last year across 619 channels.
Even the total number of advertisers, who advertised on TV during the first half, has come down to 6,501, from 7,220 last year.

Kohinoor News Channel Producer Ansar Nadeem Abuses and Disrespects Employee at TV Station
Only recently a post emerged on social media which calls attention to the employer’s bad behaviour with their employees.
An employee named Waheed Falak was purposely abused both verbally and physically in a news studio of Kohinoor News channel for coming to office late on one day, while overlooking his service of 8 years.
Waheed was slapped in front of a group of other employees as a result of which his hearing aid was also damaged. He was then fired after the producer had had his say.
The employee also wrote an application to the president of Pakistan Association Video Editor whereby narrating the entire incident and his dilemmas and unfair dismissal from work.
A lot of the people who occupy higher posts and positions in various businesses neglect the rights of their employees treating them unfairly and abusing them. This incident is an example of how our office culture needs to be improved and all should be treated with respect. | <urn:uuid:be718b17-6a85-4fa8-abdb-4a799913150e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://brandvoice.com.pk/kohinoor-news-channel-producer-ansar-nadeem-abuses-and-disrespects-employee-at-tv-station/ | 2023-09-28T17:52:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.974274 | 293 |

When it comes to sex, sometimes you have to get right down to business. Drew is hanging out on the bed, but once Alex enters the room, they waste very little time before they start making out. Drew grabs a handful of his bottoms ass and brings him in closer as they kiss. Alex takes his shirt off and then helps Drew with his, so he can kiss on his nipples, lick on his pits and chest before pulling out Drew's dick from beneath his shorts. Alex was made to suck on his tops dick and treats it as a piece of the king's gold, taking care of it from tip to balls until Drew orders him to show him his ass so he can eat him out. He feasts on his ass while Alex continues to give his cock the royal treatment. Alex then lays on his belly to give full control of his sweet, wet hole to Drew. Soon Drew is drilling his bottom boy, giving him as much cock as he wants. Pounding his ass as Alex moans, grabs the sheets, pushes back, then totally submits to his dick. They continue fucking raw dog all over the bed then flip to missionary position, fuck more and shoot their loads all over Alex's belly before they lick it up and feed each other with a kiss.

Network: CBC Television Network
Broadcast Run: 1969
Broadcast Medium: Television
Aired Wednesday nights at 10:30 PM from April 23 to June 23, 1969
These seven 30-minute broadcasts represented something of a risk for the CBC: independent film. But it was 1969 and a lot of experimental films were being produced as the technology changed and became more accessible to a new generation of filmmakers.
Program one featured Mort Ransen, discussing his work with a group of teens from Toronto. Out of these discussions came a film called Christopher’s Movie Matinee.
Subsequent programs included student productions from McMaster University, a film about artist Joyce Wieland, and animation from the Vancouver Art School. Most of the films were short subjects rather than long-form features.

Most of our rounding methods are based on arithmetic rounding.
Please refer to the nomenclature described in Residue Class Rounding. So we can base our rounding on a metric and the most obvious choice is the absolute value of the difference of the two parameters, . That is what everybody does and nothing else really comes to our mind when we are talking about rounding. But this approach is based on the additive structure of our field or ring containing the numbers that we want to round. Another way of looking at this is that (in case we are talking of real numbers or some subset thereof) the choice of the rounded value is mostly based on seeing on which side of a boundary between the two candidates for the rounded values the original value lies, with special handling if it is exactly equal to this boundary. Now the this boundary is the arithmetic mean between the two candidates, therefore we call this arithmetic rounding. Just to give you an example:
We look at the „middle“ between two allowed numbers, for example usually something like when rounding a number between and to integers and automatically assume that above that middle we round up, below we round down and exactly on the boundary we need additional rules. This middle is the arithmetic mean of the two neighboring allowed numbers after rounding and hence we can call this arithmetic rounding. All numbers with are rounded to two, all numbers with are rounded to three.
We assume and , so each real number should be rounded to an integral number. Also we assume .
Now assume we have a non-integral number and an integral number such . For convenience we write . Then we round to if and to if , so serves as boundary. Now there are many other ways to define a mean between two number and . Some of the most common are
- arithmetic mean:
- geometric mean:
- harmonic mean:
- quadratic mean:
- cubic mean:
- generalized mean:
- arithmetic-geometric mean: Let
Then we have the AGM
- harmonic-geometric mean (also called geometric-harmonic mean): Can be defined in a similar way, by just replacing the geometric mean by the harmonic mean.
- contraharmonic mean is not so hard to understand, find it in Wikipedia.
- logarithmic mean is not so hard to understand, find it also in Wikipedia.
We could also define a arithmetic-harmonic mean in a similar way, but that is just the geometric mean. It is an interesting way to approach the geometric mean of matrices, which is somewhat hard to define otherwise because of the non-commutative multiplication.
For the users of spreadsheets, like included in LibreOffice, OpenOffice or MS-Office, you can find the arithmetic mean as function
average, the geometric mean as
geomean and the harmonic mean as
Others means can be defined along these lines. And we can see that:
Here is a visual explanation of arithmetic, geometric and harmonic mean:
The line from K to L has the harmonic mean of and as a length. The geometric mean would be reached by moving that line to a position that the upper and lower part have the same shape, apart from scaling. And the arithmetic mean would be reached by moving K and L to the middle points of the lines AD and BC, respectively.
The ruby-gem long-decimal supports all of these methods for calculating a mean.
Using means to define rounding methods
Just to give you an idea that you can extend this further, the geometric and harmonic mean are now considered.
As can be seen negative and zero values for and are causing some trouble or require some care. Actually we can deal with this by splitting our unrounded and rounded worlds into separate parts, here we take the number , the and the numbers as three different sets and do the rounding within them:
where we define
In a similar way we define , and and define metrics , , separately. Then we just look at one partition and consider rounding to be a mapping
such that is minimal.
The obvious assumption of rounding to releaves us from dealing with logarithms of zero or division by zero. We would see that anyway any number between and would be rounded to for both harmonic and geometric rounding, because the boundary is 0, if we pick the right variant of the formula for calculating the mean. Also between and everything is rounded to in our example. Otherwise the calculation of the boundary can be made to work, because then both factors are negative, so we draw the square root of a positive product, but then we need to replace the square root by its negative counterpart.
So for geometric rounding we define that is rounded to if , rounded to if and rounding for has to be defined by additional rules. But we define for negative values of and to be . This can also be expressed in terms of a metric:
Harmonic rounding is definable in a similar way:
We define that is rounded to if , rounded to if and rounding for has to be defined by additional rules. This can also be expressed in terms of a metric:
Quadratic and Cubic rounding can be defined in a similar way. It would even be possible to go for arithmetic-geometric rounding or harmonic-geometric rounding, but that would imply having to do an approximative iterative calculation of the boundary each time it is needed, while the rounding modes described above can still be achieved with relatively simple multiplication and addition operations.
In any case it is necessary to define the rule how to round numbers that lie exactly on the boundary, unless we can prove that the boundary is irrational.
That is the case for geometric, quadratic and cubic rounding, because if we have adjacent integers and then we see that is irrational for because and cannot both be squares, so there is one prime number that divides either or with an odd multiplicity, which already ensures that the square root is irrational. For the quadratic mean we have , where the numerator of the fraction is odd, so two occurs with an odd multiplicity, which makes it irrational again. The similar argument applies for the cubic mean. For the harmonic mean we have , where can be a power of , in which case we have to deal with the boundary issue.
The ruby-gem long-decimal supports geometric, harmonic, quadratic and cubic rounding in addition to the regular arithmetic rounding, that is referred to as „half“.
Harmonic and geometric rounding are important for some of the mechanisms of rounding with sum.
Based on this basis these algorithms will look more natural and no longer like some weird approach that needs to be copied from some untrusted source just to get over the nightmare of having to solve that issue. | <urn:uuid:a294a50d-50ac-4284-b7fc-7ab0d006e887> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://brodowsky.it-sky.net/2015/02/06/geometric-and-harmonic-rounding/ | 2023-09-28T17:15:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.945639 | 1,402 |

Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) is advanced flexibility training involving contracting and stretching the targeted muscle group. Basic stretching involves deliberately lengthening your muscles to enhance the range of motion in your joints and flexibility. A stretch studio can provide assisted stretching techniques to improve your optimum performance. At Castleflexx, you can read more in-depth knowledge on increasing flexibility. Below is an in-depth look into proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation versus basic stretching:
PNF stretching can help boost your active and passive range of motion. PNF was created for individuals with neurological conditions like poliomyelitis. Later it expanded as a form of treatment for muscular-skeletal needs. Non-athletes and athletes can use PNF stretches to improve performance. Doing the stretches before or after a workout can improve range of motion and athletic performance. The exercises are best done at a stretch studio and involve:
- Stretching a muscle group for several seconds.
- Contracting the same muscle group against some form of resistance (usually provided with the assistance of a partner) without moving. You will do a movement that is beyond basic, static stretches.
- Stretching the muscle group repeatedly.
Basic stretching is a form of passive or active stretching that involves holding a position for several seconds. The goal is to allow your muscles and their connective fascia and tissues to strengthen. Regular stretching can improve balance and stability, no matter your fitness level or age. Stretching every day can help to increase your range of motion. Tasks such as bending to tie your shoes and lifting a package will be less tiring and easier if you have a good range of motion in the joints.
Flexibility tends to reduce as you age, but you can maintain it by stretching regularly. Flexible muscles can improve athletic performance and everyday function. Frequent stretching can also minimize discomfort and tighten your muscles, allowing you to maintain good posture. The stretches help to relax tense, tight muscles to give your body better balance. Regular stretching after doing a challenging workout or exercise can reduce muscle stiffness.
Difference Between Basic and PNF Stretching
Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation is the type of stretching that involves a static stretch accompanied by an isometric contraction of the stretched muscle. The process is done several times to improve flexibility more than basic stretching. Using the PNF approach, a person can perform more static stretches, making it a great option. Basic stretching is commonly used as a warm-up or cool-down routine to increase the range of motion of your joints. Both basic stretching and PNF stretching can help you achieve good flexibility. Both forms of stretching can also help prevent soreness and injury after a strength training routine.
Find the Best Stretch Studio
Look for a stretch studio with specialists who embrace active stretching to expand and open your body’s tissue and muscles. Their techniques should include the key foundations of basic stretching and PNF to increase your optimum performance. A good studio will introduce a consistent stretching regimen into your fitness routine. Prioritize a studio that offers consistent results to its customers. | <urn:uuid:2d128a34-6f39-4e6e-b289-1e3283b43bfd> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://bulkquotesnow.com/proprioceptive-neuromuscular-facilitation-versus-basic-stretching/ | 2023-09-28T17:43:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.925109 | 653 |
A survey finds many investors playing it safe, which could cost them in the long term.
American workers are keeping large chunks of their retirement savings in cash to protect themselves from another slump in the stock market.
Millennial workers have a third of their retirement funds in cash, more than any other asset class, according to a new retirement survey from investment manager Schroders. For workers 45 and older, that number is 29%.
Safety was cited by more than 60% of millennials and a full two-thirds of workers 45 and older, who said fear of losing money in the stock market was what kept them in cash. However, those who avoided equities missed out on the recent rally that saw the Nasdaq 100 enter a bull market last week and the S&P 500 post back-to-back quarterly gains.
“It was surprising to see how fearful millennials were in terms of being invested in the market,” said Joel Schiffman, head of strategic partnerships at Schroders. “Fear is not a retirement readiness strategy when you have a time horizon of decades.”
Sticking with a big slug of cash will make it harder for millennials accumulate the $1.3 million they said was needed to retire comfortably. That topped the $1.1 million average guesstimate of older workers.
But millennials aren’t feeling particularly optimistic about meeting that goal. Just under a third said they expect to reach the $1 million mark, and 27% said they might have less than $250,000 in savings when it comes time to retire. Among older workers, just 21% expected to have $1 million saved come retirement, down from 24% when the survey asked the same question last year.
The survey of 2,000 Americans was taken in mid-February to early March.

In the refining and chemical industry, natural gas purification, coal chemical industry, and other industries, a large amount of tail gas will be generated during the production process of sulfur recovery. These exhaust gases are mainly nitrogen, and also contain a small number of flammable components such as hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen, and sulfur. In the process of tail gas incineration, new pollutants nitrogen oxides will be produced.
In order to suppress the generation of NOx, the conventional technologies of grading air distribution, oxygen-deficient combustion, and flue gas circulation are used, but they are not ideal or have drawbacks. In order to meet the requirements of environmental protection and ultra-low emission, Ruichang invented the exhaust gas ultra-low NOx emission technology.
Details of Ultra-low NOx Emission Technology
The ultra-low NOx emission technology of exhaust gas is based on the staged air distribution and ultra-short flame technology, and the method of exhaust gas splitting is added to achieve ultra-low nitrogen emission. The amount of NOx in this technology can be stably controlled below 30mg/Nm³. The core of this technology is that the internal structure of the burner has been optimized, and at the same time, the conventional furnace front control system has been adaptively improved, that is, “structure improvement + feedforward automatic control loop“.
The ultra-low NOx emission technology was founded in 2018 and has applied for a variety of patent structures. Currently, there are 6 structures. After nearly 3 years of research experiments and technical iterations, it has begun to be widely promoted and applied.
Comparison of effect data before and after modification of sulfur recovery unit
Test data before transformation:
Flue gas emission index: oxygen content 5%; CO emission value 2000mg/Nm³; NOx emission value 50mg/Nm³.
Test data after transformation:
Flue gas emission index: oxygen content 4.5%; CO emission value ≤300mg/Nm³; NOx emission value ≤20mg/Nm³.
- This technology can ensure both ultra-low emissions of NOx and CO and solves the drawbacks of other NOx reduction technologies that only rely on reducing furnace temperature and sacrificing CO emissions to ensure NOx compliance.
- Compared with the flue gas recirculation technology, this technology does not require additional induced draft fans, requires less investment, simple layout, and strong operability.
- Compared with the technology of steam spray or water spray to reduce NOx, no additional heating of other media is required, no additional public utility consumption, energy-saving, and environmental protection.
- The ultra-low NOx emission technology has a wide range of adaptability, a large adjustment range of primary exhaust gas volume and primary air volume can adapt to a variety of working conditions, and can be used in other low calorific value waste gas incineration and nitrogen reduction processes in non-sulfur industries. | <urn:uuid:2241980b-6ec1-41c9-bd53-7c2c06a34bf2> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://burnertec.com/ultra-low-nox-emission-technology/ | 2023-09-28T17:02:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.892151 | 623 |
When you need a simple yet elegant appetizer, it doesn’t get more perfect than this herbed smoked trout dip! Made with luscious mascarpone cheese, fresh tarragon and chives, and a bright pop of lemon, this creamy spread adds a gourmet touch to any appetizer table or charcuterie board. Plus, it comes together in about 10 quick minutes.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Full of flavor: The smoked trout shows off earthy, nutty notes that are accentuated by the refreshing lemon. Throw in those fresh herbs and that creamy spread, and you have one irresistible dip.
Easy elegance: This smoked trout dip recipe may sound fancy and make you look like a gourmet chef, but it’s truly one of the easiest appetizers you’ll ever prepare. No advanced cooking skills are necessary here.
Make ahead of time: To give the flavors time to meld, I recommend making this dip ahead of serving time. That means you don’t have to worry about whipping up appetizers when you’re trying to host.
Smoked trout: Since this is our star ingredient, I recommend getting the best smoked trout available. I much prefer the full smoked trout fillets rather than canned smoked trout. Rainbow trout and lake trout are common varieties. You can find it next to the smoked salmon, and it’s available online.
Mascarpone: This is similar to cream cheese. However, cream cheese is made from whole milk while mascarpone is made from heavy cream, which gives it a richer flavor.
Crème fraîche: Think of this as fancy sour cream. It’s made from heavy cream and either buttermilk or yogurt to give it an acidic kick. Typically, you can find this by the fine cheese and cured meats section in the grocery store.
Lemon juice and zest: Make sure you use freshly squeezed juice. Bottled juice won’t give you the same brightness and flavor.
Fresh herbs: We use tarragon and chives. For the best flavor, grab fresh herbs, not dried.
Step 1: The first step is to blend the mascarpone and crème fraîche until the mixture is well-combined (photo 1). We can use a food processor or a simple mixing bowl and wooden spoon to take care of the job.
Step 2: Now we transfer the mascarpone mixture to a medium bowl and add the smoked trout, garlic cloves, lemon juice, lemon zest, chives, tarragon and a pinch of cayenne to the mascarpone mixture (photo 2).
Step 3: For our last step, we use a sturdy wooden spoon to stir in the mix-ins until it becomes one cohesive dip (photo 3). We go ahead and spoon the dip into our serving bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a few hours.
In three easy steps, our smoked trout spread is ready. How good is that dip? Now pair it with some truffled deviled eggs, and you're ready for party snacking.
How to Serve
About 30 minutes before party time, pull the smoked trout dip from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature. This takes off the chill, which helps bring out the flavors as well as makes it easier to spread. Serve with your favorite accompaniments and you’re ready to devour. Here are a few serving suggestions.
- Bagel chips
- Melba toast
- Pita chips
- Grilled baguette slices
- Fresh-cut vegetables — think cucumber slices, celery sticks and baby carrots
Keep the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If stored properly, it will last about three to four days.
I do not recommend freezing this fish dip. The freezer will change the texture of the mascarpone and crème fraîche.
No, we just want the meat from the trout fillets. Since the trout is cooked, a fork will easily flake off the skin into small pieces.
Substitutions and Variations
Want to put your personal touch on this recipe? Here are a few ways you can put your own spin on this dip.
- Make a smoked salmon dip instead by swapping the trout for salmon.
- Substitute cream cheese for mascarpone.
- Swap crème fraîche for sour cream or Greek yogurt.
- Give it a kick with a little prepared horseradish, hot sauce or Worcestershire sauce.
- Stir in finely chopped green onion.
- Add some crunch with finely chopped celery or red onion.
- Experiment with different herbs, such as fresh dill, basil, chervil and parsley.
Soften the mascarpone and crème fraîche first: The mixture will be lumpy if it’s too cold when mixing. Simply leave them on the countertop at room temperature for 30 minutes before preparing, and you’ll be good to go.
Plan ahead: While you can serve it right away, it’s best if you refrigerate the dip for a few hours to allow the flavors to meld.
Pick away any bones: As you flake the trout, make sure you don’t add any bones with the meat.
Use a food processor for the smoothest texture: You can certainly stir the mascarpone mixture if you don’t have a food processor, but a little mechanical help makes for a creamier base.
With the rich, creamy mascarpone and crème fraîche and salty smoked trout, you’ll love a beer or wine that acts as a palate cleanser. Try a German-style weissbeer, which shows off an effervescent body and citrusy snap. Given its many lakes and rivers, Germany loves its trout recipes, so using a German beer as a nod to this trout-loving country makes the pairing extra fun.
If you're craving a glass of wine with this herbed smoked trout spread, you can't go wrong with a glass of bubbly. Champagne is the ultimate palate cleanser, and it cuts through the creamy base and smoky flavor easily. Plus, Champagne's minerality nicely complements the smoked trout. A German Alsace dry riesling is another good choice if you want to stick with the German theme.
For a nice cocktail, my French 76 is perfect. This is a Champagne cocktail with a pop of lemon. Similarly, you may also enjoy my French 77, which also includes elderflower to add some floral notes to those fresh herbs.
I hope you share this herbed smoked trout spread during your next gathering. Trust me — everyone will be happy you did.

Welcome to the age of Artificial Intelligence (AI)! From Siri and Alexa to self-driving cars, AI has infiltrated our daily lives in ways we never thought possible. It’s no longer just a sci-fi fantasy, but a reality that is revolutionizing the way we live, work, and interact with each other. In this blog post, we’ll explore how AI has changed our world for the better (and sometimes worse), and how it will continue to shape our future in unimaginable ways. So buckle up, because the ride is about to get interesting!
What is Artificial Intelligence?
Artificial intelligence has been changing our daily lives for many years now. It has made it possible for computers to learn how to do things on their own, making them better at performing certain tasks than humans. This technology is also being used in a number of other ways, such as in the development of natural language processing and robotics.
Benefits of Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence has changed our daily lives in a number of ways. For one, it has made it possible for machines to learn tasks on their own and carry out complex tasks quickly and accurately. This is especially important in the field of healthcare, where machines can now help doctors diagnose diseases faster and more accurately than ever before.
Additionally, AI has allowed companies to automate certain processes, freeing up employees to focus on more strategic tasks. Finally, AI has helped us develop new methods of communication and transportation, which have revolutionized how we live and work.
How has Artificial Intelligence changed our daily lives?
Artificial Intelligence has revolutionized our daily lives in a number of ways. For example, it has made it easier for us to find information on the internet, schedule meetings, and shop for products. It has also enabled machines to learn how to do things on their own, such as driving cars or playing video games.
As AI continues to evolve, it is likely that these benefits will continue to increase. For example, AI might eventually be able to help us manage our finances better and even help us cure diseases. So far, AI has had a significant impact on many aspects of our lives, and there is no indication that this trend will stop any time soon. | <urn:uuid:998a473d-f0b1-4619-8f74-a362b26deb08> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://businessnewstimes.com/how-has-artificial-intelligence-changed-our-daily-lives-in-2024/ | 2023-09-28T18:00:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.970626 | 452 |
CRKT Provoke – D2 Black Hawkbill Blade – Black Aluminum Kinematic Handle – CR4040
Only 1 left in stock
CRKT CR4040 Joe Caswell Provoke Black
Serve. Protect. The Provoke knife draws on ancient karambit design but it’s hiding a futuristic secret. The first knife ever to feature Kinematic technology, it stays neatly tucked away in transit and comes to life when there’s trouble afoot. Optional Boltaron sheath and clip set available.
CRKT thinks of Designer Joe Caswell as somewhat of a mad scientist. When they got an eyeful of the sketches that were to become the Provoke — designed in Newbury Park, California — they knew he was destined to become one of the most innovative designers the knife world has ever seen. Modeled after a traditional karambit, the black titanium nitride hawkbill-style blade is forged of a premium D2 steel for high durability and excellent edge retention.
The opening mechanism is pulling the folder into the future whether it’s ready or not. Thumb pressure on the upper crossbar sets the chain reaction in motion, causing the blade to lunge to action while you’ve got a firm grasp on the handle. It’s crafted of aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum for supreme toughness. In true Joe fashion, the pocket clip is also a world’s first—sitting almost completely flush with the handle and likewise activated with light thumb pressure.
The Provoke comes up strong when it’s called in for duty.
How Kinematic Works
Nudge the upper crossbar with your thumb—while the rest of your fingers firmly grasp the handle—and the blade lunges to life and locks into place. Shift the discrete lever at the base of the finger loop and the blade retreats into its closed position.
- Kinematic innovation deploys the blade quickly for first responders
- D2 blade steel holds an edge well and has a titanium nitride finish for corrosion resistance
- 6061 aircraft grade aluminum handles are strong and lightweight
- Blade Length: 2.41″
- Closed Length: 4.96″
- Overall Length:7.25″
- Blade Material: D2 Tool Steel
- Blade Thickness: 0.209″
- Blade Style: Hawkbill
- Blade Finish: Black Titanium Nitride
- Handle Material: Aluminum
- Locking Mechanism: Kinematic
- Pocket Clip: Tip-Up, Right Carry
- Weight: 6.1 oz.
- Designer: Joe Caswell

With the implantology advent, the use of frameworks made of commercially pure titanium (cp Ti) has increased although some disadvantages have encouraged the search for alternative titanium alloys. Among the elements searched to be added to titanium alloys, tantalum has been used in experimental alloys because of its biocompatibility and corrosion resistance. However, it is necessary to consider that the materials will be subjected to mechanical and chemical degradation in the oral environment throughout toothbrushing. There are studies in the literature relating that fluoride ions are able to attack passive layer present at the titanium surface, increasing the material susceptibility to degradation. On the other hand, it is argued that experimental titanium alloys containing tantalum in their composition present a passive layer different from that created at the surface of cp Ti, more stable and corrosion resistance. The increased looking for aesthetic treatments has putting in the market dentifrices presenting whitening potential, which can present peroxides in their composition. Associated to peroxides, which interfere in the corrosive potential of dental alloys and amalgam, dentifrices present fluor in their composition. Because there are not relates in the literature about the effect of dentifrices with whitening potential at the surface of titanium, the aim of the present study will be compare the surface of an experimental titanium alloy Ti-5Ta, developed by the group of the research, and of cp Ti, after submitted to toothbrushing assay using dentifrices with and without peroxide in their compositions.

LONDON (Bywire News) - On Thursday, Britain's top financial civil servant said that for the time being, an estimate of £372 billion for coronavirus-related spending was adequate, although likely to change.
According to a government spending watchdog, the National Audit Office, earlier this month it was estimated that between February 2020 and the end of March 2021, government departments spent around £372 billion on COVID-19 kindred measures.
"It's a good, reliable snapshot as of today, but we would certainly expect - and I'm sure the NAO would expect - that number to change as we see what happens," Tom Scholar, the finance ministry's most senior civil servant, told a panel of lawmakers. ($1 = 0.7082 pounds)

I haven’t been to the Whispering Pines of Carlisle in a few years, but was so excited when I saw all of the wonderful upgrades they have done when I arrived for Ashlynn and David’s wedding day in August. The beautiful barn backdrop, outdoor lights, and chandelier were such a nice touch to an already gorgeous property. I also adored the beautiful lavender and zinnia fields for portraits!
I have been so excited to get back to weddings and Ashlynn and David’s big day in Carlisle was so much fun. The wedding day was so relaxed that you truly felt like you were just going through a stroll in the park with your best friend. The day was filled with endless love, funny family members and even some thunderstorms. I had tears in my eyes during speeches and dances and truly felt welcomed in by the amazing staff at Whispering Pines and the family and friends surrounding this sweet couple.
I loved the portraits we were able to capture with the mountain back drop and pine trees. They are some of my new favorites for sure! While we were blessed with clouds all day, the night ended with some of the craziest lighting I have ever witnessed in my life. Talk about going out with a bang! Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Iglesias!! It was a joy to be apart of such a heartfelt day.

A memorial service will be held March 3, 2017, 2 p.m. MST, at Front Range Alliance Church, 5210 Centennial Blvd., Colorado Springs.
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith” (2 Timothy 4:7).
On the evening of February 22, 2017, Rev. Philip (Phil) Lee Skellie—a beloved member of the worldwide Alliance family—died suddenly of an apparent heart attack while walking in his Colorado Springs neighborhood. He was 68.
Phil’s roots in The Alliance ran deep. Born February 19, 1949, in Zamboanga City, the Philippines, to C&MA missionaries Lloyd and Nelrose Skellie, Phil accepted the Lord as his Savior at a young age. He later claimed his experiences as an MK (missionary kid) prepared him for his lifetime of ministry, which included serving 15 years as the president of Compassion and Mercy Associates (CAMA)—the relief and development arm of The Alliance.
“From the day I met Phil, he was first a friend and then a leader,” says Mike Sohm, CAMA’s current president, who worked with Phil when he was the ministry’s regional director for Asia. “I was a new field director in Thailand, facing some major challenges. His encouragement and sense of humor helped me to persevere when I was in ‘way over my head.’”
As a young teen, Phil’s Alliance connection led him to attend Simpson College (now Simpson University in Redding, California), where he met his wife, Rebecca (Becky) Ann Staub. They married on August 14, 1971. Phil then earned his master’s in divinity at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in South Hamilton, Massachusetts. He and Becky later pastored churches in Vermont.
In 1979, Phil took the role of director of personnel at Alliance Headquarters in Nyack, New York. While traveling the country interviewing prospective pastors and missionaries, Phil heard the Lord call him to do what Phil was encouraging others to do—serve overseas.
In 1984, God led the Skellies to New Zealand, where they began a church-planting ministry on the outskirts of the city of Auckland. During their years Down Under, the couple also helped found Christian Fellowship for the Disabled, a group dedicated to ministering to people with disabilities and encouraging churches to welcome and include them in their congregational life.
In fall 1990, Phil accepted the position of CAMA’s regional director for Asia, which was based in Bangkok, Thailand. He supervised CAMA’s work in the refugee camps in Thailand and its development projects in Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. God used that unsettled time of history to bring many people into His Kingdom.
After the Thai government closed the refugee camps in 1994, the Skellies were asked to lead the first C&MA CoMission team (CoMission was an interdenominational organization providing U.S. Christian teachers the opportunity to teach Christian ethics and values in Russia’s public schools). Once the team was established in ministry, the family returned to the United States, and Phil worked in the Alliance Pacific Northwest District Office.
In 1998, the Skellies moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado, where Phil served as CAMA’s president until 2013. From 1998 to 2009, Phil also served as the director for the International Fellowship of Alliance Professionals (IFAP), the “tentmaking” arm of The Alliance (now referred to as marketplace ministries). During those years, he traveled extensively to encourage CAMA and marketplace workers and support relief and development projects worldwide.
“He’s been a part of our ministry ever since we bumbled into it years ago in Mongolia,” recall CAMA workers Jason and Elissa, who now serve in Indonesia. “He genuinely enjoyed his many visits with us (we loved hanging out with Phil). ‘Perseverance is long obedience in the same direction,’ he used to say. That was Phil. He persevered—not like a cranky person who keeps doing things the same way—but with joy and excitement.”
Phil loved his travels, but he always was happy to return to his family and the home he loved. An avid sportsman, he climbed many Colorado “Fourteeners” (mountains more than 14,000 feet in altitude). He also enjoyed biking and tennis—any activity that took him outdoors.
During the last two and a half years of his life, Phil, along with Becky, provided member care for Alliance marketplace ministries workers throughout Asia. “When Phil visited us, I had taken a backseat in the ministry because I had become a caregiver for my parents,” a marketplace worker recalls.
“Although the Lord had led me to this decision, I was feeling somewhat guilty that I wasn’t doing much ‘ministry.’ Phil sat me down, prayed for me, and then lovingly reassured me that I was doing ministry—this was what the Lord had for me at this time. I cried with relief, and peace came over me. That peace endured; it led me to witness the salvation of both my parents before they went to their eternal home. We will miss Phil so much!”
Phil is survived by his wife, Becky; children Chris, Heather, and Amy; and three grandchildren.
A memorial service will be held March 3, 2017, 2 p.m. MST, at Front Range Alliance Church in Colorado Springs. Watch the memorial service here.
Memorial gifts can be made to the CAMA Advance Fund. They can also be given through marketplace ministries. Words of condolence can be sent to email@example.com.

Ancient Greek warriors were fed a special diet that better prepared them for the demands of battle on distant fields. Cancer cells that metastasize may do the same thing according to a new study revealing previously unknown differences between cancer cells that continue to grow at the original tumor site, and those that travel to other organs.
Given that a cancer cell’s unyielding ability to metastasize is the primary cause of cancer-related death, understanding how they successfully migrate can be lifesaving.
Scientists at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have found that cancer cells traveling to other sites have different energy needs from their “stay-at-home” siblings which continue to proliferate at the original tumor site. The study results are in the Sept. 21 online edition of Nature Cell Biology.
The reason may lie with the protein, PGC-1α, a type of transcription co-activator crucial to regulation of cellular metabolism. PGC-1α appears to play a role in how cancer cells are able to acquire unique energy sources that allow them to travel and spread cancer in the body.
“New therapy strategies are beginning to focus on the unique vulnerabilities of cancer cell metabolism. Determining the metabolic requirements of invasive cancer cells could be of therapeutic value,” said Valerie LeBleu, Ph.D., assistant professor of cancer biology at MD Anderson and lead author of the Nature Cell Biology paper. “We found that invading cancer cells rely on mitochondria during their transition to other cancer sites.”
Cancer cells use PGC-1α to stimulate the growth of new mitochondria, the cell’s “power plants” that generate ATP, an energy “currency” used by cells to grow. Metastasizing cells also rely on PGC-1α for a process known as oxidative phosphorylation that boosts ATP during the cell’s journey to other sites. If mitochondria is the kitchen, then PGC-1α is the chef, ATP the entre� and oxidative phosphorylation a key ingredient. This overall process, mitochondria respiration, allows some cancer cells to harness the required energy to survive the hostile journey through tumor and normal issue, blood vessels, and entry into new organs.
In other words, some cancer cells are programmed to eat at home, while others have a special diet that allows them to travel to other sites. If there was a therapeutic way to stop the migrating cells from packing a lunch ahead of time, it could potentially halt their journey. Suppressing PGC-1α appears to accomplish this.
“The most dangerous cancer cells are the ones that can efficiently move and find a new home,” said Raghu Kalluri, M.D., Ph.D., chair of cancer biology and an investigator on the study. “The study revealed a strong correlation between PGC-1α expression in invasive cancer cells and the formation of distant metastases in breast cancer patients.”

Yes, Thai basil can be frozen. The process of blanching isn’t required, although it can help preserve some of the food’s color and flavor. One such possibility is to make use of an ice cube tray. It is possible to store Thai basil in the freezer for approximately six months to one year.
This information is useful if you cultivate your own basil, as it is tough to grow when the weather changes during the winter.
There are various ways to freeze Thai basil and other herbs, and the method you choose to use will depend on who you ask. Before placing the basil in the freezer, blanching it is a technique that is recommended by some individuals.
The following is a method for freezing your Thai basil, which will allow you to use it in your cooking throughout the entire year:
- Put the Thai basil leaves in a sieve and give them a thorough washing under cold running water. The excess water should be removed from the surface of the leaves by patting them with a paper towel. Put them on clean paper towels, then put the paper towel stack on the countertop to let them air dry.
- After they have been allowed to dry, place the leaves of your Thai basil on a sheet of greaseproof paper. Leave some distance between them so that they don’t contact one other. It’s possible that you’ll require more than one sheet of paper, depending on the leaves you’re freezing.
- Place the leaves in the freezer for a few hours, or until they become solid. This takes approximately twelve hours on average.
- After the initial phase of the freezing process has ended, remove the leaves from the freezer. Then place them in a bag that can be put in the freezer without being damaged.
- After placing your leaves into the bag, make an effort to remove as much air as you can before closing it. Place the bag back in the freezer once you have written the use-by date on it (the date should be six months after the first freezing), as well as the word “Thai basil.”
A lot of people insist on blanching Thai basil prior to freezing it. Therefore, we have included the instructions for the process below if you decide to follow it:
- Before drying, wash the Thai basil leaves by placing them in a strainer or colander and rinsing them thoroughly under running water. The excess water should be removed from the surface of the leaves by patting them with a paper towel once they have been moved to the paper towel.
- Put them on clean paper towels, and then put them on the counter to dry while they are on the paper towels.
- Start the boiling process with one bowl of water, then move on to the other bowl and fill it with ice and cold water. Put one side for now.
- Place your cleaned and dried Thai basil leaves in a colander that can easily fit into the saucepan.
- The basil leaves should only be submerged in the boiling water for a few seconds at the most while they are in the colander.
- After you have submerged the basil leaves in water, you must immediately place them in an ice bath.
- After allowing them to sit in the ice bath for a bit, you should remove them. Then carefully pat them dry to the best of your ability.
- Place the leaves in the freezer for a few hours, or until they become solid. This takes approximately twelve hours of time on average.
- After the initial phase of the freezing process has been finished, remove the leaves from the freezer. Then place them in a bag that can be frozen without rupturing.
- After placing your leaves into the bag, press out as much air as possible before sealing it. After that, return the bag to the freezer and label it.
- Place the bag back in the freezer once you have written the use-by date on it (the date should be six months after the first freezing), as well as the word “Thai basil.”
Blanching basil leaves helps to maintain their green color and prevents them from turning brown when they are stored in the freezer. However, this process requires significantly more labor than simply freezing them.
When freezing any kind of herb, this is perhaps the most effective method that can be used. To clean and dry the Thai basil, follow the methods that were given above. After that, place the basil in an ice cube tray and fill the remaining space with either olive oil, melted butter, or even water. Freeze until solid.
Put it in the freezer, and then whenever you want a taste of Thai basil in your dish, just take out a cube of it and throw it in the pan.
Now that you know how to freeze it, we’ve got our three top tips. We strongly recommend following them when freezing Thai Basil in order to get the best results:
- Before you freeze your Thai basil leaves, you need to make sure they are completely dry. After you have blanched the leaves, you can use a spin dryer to remove any extra liquid that is on the surface of the leaves before putting them in the freezer. Blanching the leaves first is recommended.
- It is possible to freeze Thai basil leaves without individually freezing each leaf.
- To save yourself some time, simply place the leaves in a bag that is appropriate for the freezer and throw the bag in the freezer. If you wish to freeze things rapidly, you need to keep in mind that they will clump together and freeze as one solid mass. This will make it more likely that they will tear when you try to defrost them.
- You can find pre-frozen herbs like Thai basil in the majority of stores today. Although it would undoubtedly save you time, it will not be as enjoyable as cultivating your own produce and putting it up for use at other times of the year.
The best approach to thawing Thai basil from the freezer is to remove it the night before you intend to use it and place it in the refrigerator.
Put it in the refrigerator for a while so that it can thaw, and after that, you can use it normally. Check your recipe ahead of time because many of them will enable you to use Thai basil that has been thawed directly from the freezer. This will allow you to save yourself some time.
Yes, it is completely fine to refreeze Thai basil even if it was previously frozen and then defrosted in the refrigerator.
However, the consistency of the basil, as well as its color and general flavor, will decrease the more you freeze and thaw it. Thus, you should make an effort to take out of the freezer only the appropriate quantity on each occasion.
Yes, it is possible to successfully freeze Thai basil. Blanching the food before putting it in the freezer can help prevent the leaves from turning brown since this can happen if they are in the freezer for too long.
FAQs on Can You Freeze Thai Basil
This is dependent on how long you intend to keep it in storage. If you only need to keep it for a few days, the refrigerator is the best place to put it. However, freezing is the only option if you need to keep it for a longer period of time than normal.
Yes, you can freeze Thai basil that has not been opened. However, if you purchased Thai basil from the store, you should remove the basil from the packet before freezing it; otherwise, you will need to thaw the entire packet.
Yes, you can freeze full basil leaves. However, if you want to keep the flavor of the basil, you should trim the leaves into smaller pieces before freezing them. This will help keep the flavor of the basil leaves intact. Put the basil leaves you to want to keep away in freezer bags or containers, and make sure to mark them with the date.
In a Nutshell
Hope this article, can you freeze Thai basil is useful for you. If you find that you have more Thai Basil than you can use at once, you can always choose to freeze it. As a consequence of this, its shelf life will be extended, and it can be consumed without risk for a period of at least half a year. To store Thai basil in your freezer for use at a later time, all you need to do is follow the instructions given above. | <urn:uuid:996ba100-6555-4cd2-a576-e3eee756a716> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://canyoupreserve.com/can-you-freeze-thai-basil/ | 2023-09-28T16:48:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.95752 | 1,946 |

Memes & Infographics
I don't know how many of my readers do the Facebook thing here. So called infographics (perhaps should be better termed disinfo graphics in most cases) and memes are big in that social media venue. These have, IMO, both good and bad aspects to them. They are a reflection of just what a sound bite world we live in, which on balance I believe is a bad thing because two things happen with sound bites -- effective summarization of a larger theme or camouflaging misinformation. On the good side, and to the former point, many people are reached at an intellectual level more by visuals and short phrases than by a sea of text.
In any case, I thought I would share a couple of these here from time to time. Many of these cannot be tracked back to an originator or are posted in "friends only" places so linking/attribution is difficult, so I won't be doing that here. If anyone recognizes their work and would like attribution (or recognizes someone else's work and can provide a publicly accessible nod), pipe up in comments or pop me a note (carbsane at gmail dot com) .
So without further delay, two about sugar:
Unfortunately, many took this the wrong way and didn't recognize the humor used to take a poke at some of the more absurd claims made about sugar. My favorite part is toxidant. Gold!
This next one was shared on the page of a nutritionist who likes to pose with vegetables and make disturbing videos on naughtiness. I kid you not. Perhaps she can bring her advice on practicing safe soy to the brothels ;-) In any case, here's the original and a "rebuttal" of sorts below.
First of all, I realize that many people describe foods as addictive and have their personal "trigger foods". This is not what memes like the one at right are saying and equating sugar to drugs like cocaine is nothing but demonization and scare-mongering. It's one thing to use over-the-top hyperbole, but analogies like this are not helpful especially when couched as "science" . So below is the rebuttal (not mine)
I would just note a few things. Clearly there's more than one atom different, though they might be referring to the nitrogen there in the cocaine? All amino acids contain nitrogen .... But even if that were the case, a single atom is all that needs be changed to convert a biologically active molecule to a benign one. I might add that there are different fatty acids that have the exact same chemical formula but where the location of a functional bond or group is different.
And lastly I'm reminded of water, good old H2O. I first learned about this evil substance when I took a class in Environmental Toxicology in college. Our professor began with something similar, but real, about a certain chemical, I don't recall which and then contrasted that with something like this:
Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) is a colorless and odorless chemical compound, also referred to by some as Dihydrogen Oxide, Hydrogen Hydroxide, Hydronium Hydroxide, or simply Hydric acid. Its basis is the highly reactive hydroxyl radical, a species shown to mutate DNA, denature proteins, disrupt cell membranes, and chemically alter critical neurotransmitters. The atomic components of DHMO are found in a number of caustic, explosive and poisonous compounds such as Sulfuric Acid, Nitroglycerine and Ethyl Alcohol.
Yes, that hydroxyl radical! Which is nothing like the hydroxide ion, just like a bound chlorine atom is nothing like a chloride ion is nothing like chlorine gas. Water is also only one hydrogen atom different from hydrogen peroxide, a ROS that causes oxidative damage! Dihydrogen monoxide sounds similar to carbon monoxide which is lethal. Get the point? These sorts of flat out lies are unhelpful.
I'll leave you with one last one
Not to be confused with Abel James' Wild Diet (as I originally did). We all need to be aware of some of these labels, but no sugar added could mean naturally sweetened with fruit juice, etc. Regardless of what you think of that slight of terminology, it doesn't mean artificially sweetened (are they all carcinogenic?), etc. I'll leave the rest, you get the point.

New York Medical Malpractice Attorney
If you have been injured due to a doctor’s negligence, you may have a legitimate medical malpractice claim. In order to have a successful medical malpractice claim, it is necessary to prove the following three elements: Substantial Deviation from accepted standards of care, Proximate Cause and Injury.
Medical malpractice occurs when a medical provider such as a doctor breaches, or violates, the accepted standard of care in that field, which then results in injury to a patient. This standard of care will vary depending on a number of factors, including the patient’s age, the specific ailment etc. Just because there is a bad outcome or the treatment/surgery isn’t successful doesn’t automatically mean that malpractice has occurred.
In addition to showing that a medical provider breached his or her standard of care, you will have to prove that this breach directly caused your injury. Often it is difficult to prove that the resulting condition is a direct result of the medical provider’s actions or inactions. Typically we would need to retain an “expert witness” to give their opinion on this issue and possibly testify in court on the client’s behalf.
If the medical provider did commit medical malpractice, the claimant will not have a successful claim unless he or she sustained an injury. Since medical malpractice actions are very costly and take many years to work their way through the courts, most attorneys will only consider cases with sizeable injuries. Such injuries include those that last a lifetime and cannot be repaired, those that result in death and those with substantial and permanent consequences to the claimant. Often we get calls from potential clients that are outraged that their doctors made huge mistakes that “almost” killed them, but that they luckily made fast and complete recoveries. In situations such as those, although the negligence may be substantial, the fast and complete recovery almost negates the claim, as there is little pain and suffering. | <urn:uuid:c04c5691-a325-4bbf-a0a8-7dcf8a2c25f9> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://carcrashadvisor.com/practice-area/medical-malpractice/ | 2023-09-28T16:45:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.959585 | 419 |

Car ownership can be confusing because there’s a lot you have to keep track of – the status of your oil, the last time you got your tires changed or rotated, whether or not your windshield wipers can make it through another season, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg! Another area of car ownership you might be confused about is car tags or your car’s registration.
Car tags are the stickers you put on your car’s license plate. These stickers indicate what year your car’s registration is valid through. You must renew your registration every year, two years, or three years depending on the state.
The rest of this article will answer your questions about car tags, why you need them, and what happens if they expire. If you’re curious about these stickers and what they mean, keep reading!
Car tags are proof that the car’s owner renewed the registration for their vehicle that year. Not having up-to-date car tags visible on your vehicle is illegal, and you could get fined or otherwise punished if you forego this responsibility.
In all fifty states, car owners have to register their cars with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) in their state. States use this information when assessing taxes or determining proper vehicle ownership in the event of a theft. Law enforcement will always ask to see your car’s registration when they pull you over.
After the initial registration, car owners need to renew their registration every year. When you renew your registration, you receive car tags – stickers that you put on your license plate.
The cost of initial registration can be pretty hefty, depending on which state you live in. Florida, Montana, and Iowa have the highest initial car registration fees at $225, $217, and $196.
Renewing your car’s registration also isn’t free. The cost varies from $30 to $50, and sometimes the price is more if the vehicle’s weight is more. After you pay this fee, you’ll get car tags – colorful stickers with digits that indicate the year that the registration expires. These tags go on your license plates, typically in the corner.
Before you put your car tags on your license plate, you should ensure that your license plate is as clean as possible so the stickers stick well. License plates can get dirty with pollen, mud, grime, bugs, and other road debris, so you’ll need to clean them well!
Once you have everything you need, follow these steps:
- Remove the license plate by unscrewing the bolts.
- Put the removed plate in a bucket of warm, soapy water.
- Scrub the plate with a sponge.
- If there are still bug splatters on your license plate after scrubbing, you may need to use an automotive bug solvent.
- You can apply an automotive wax to reduce UV damage if you’d like.
- Replace the license plate.
Now you’re ready to put on your car tags!
If you need an automotive bug solvent, I recommend this 3D Bug Remover (available on Amazon) because the product loosens the protein immediately, so you can easily wipe it away. It also works on tree sap.
Suppose the bolts holding your license plate in place seem worn out and need replacement. In that case, I like the LivTee Rustproof License Plate Screws because they are easy to install, and you won’t have to worry about needing to replace them again because of weather damage.
How to Renew Car Tags
Renewing car tags is a similar process in every state, but the exact procedure may differ depending on which state you live in, so check with your state’s DMV for their rules.
Usually, you’ll receive a registration renewal notice in the mail at the address listed on your car’s registration. Most of the time, this notice comes with a return envelope that you can use to send your payment for your renewal. Most state DMVs don’t accept cash, though, so keep that in mind.
Using mail-in orders is usually the simplest way to renew your registration, but you’ll still have to wait for the mail to come. So, it may take a week or two to get your new sticker if you go this route.
Another option is to pay for your registration renewal at the DMV. However, DMV wait times are notoriously long, so it is probably best to avoid going to the DMV in person.
Some insurance companies, including AAA, have DMV services for their members, so you could visit one of their offices to renew your car tags. The wait time here will likely be much shorter than at the DMV.
You could also see if there are any DMV kiosks near you. These freestanding kiosks aren’t in every state, but if you have one near you, it can handle many essential DMV services, including renewing your car tags. The kiosk will print your new tag immediately after you pay!
Some states have automated systems where you can register for an automatic annual withdrawal from your bank account, so you don’t have to worry about forgetting.
If you let your tags expire, you could get a ticket. If the authorities pull you over, you will get a fine or a penalty determined by the laws in your state, the officer who pulled you over, the last time you renewed your tags, and the proximity to the expiration date.
It is your responsibility to pay to update your registration on time and affix the new car tags to your car properly to avoid punishment.
You can (and will!) get pulled over for car tags that are expired or missing on your vehicle, which will result in a fine. You don’t even have to be driving the car to get fined. If a police officer is driving down your street and notices that you have expired tags on a vehicle parked in your driveway, you can still get a fine.
It is not enough to simply have the car tags, either. You need to place them on your plate correctly to be safe from fines. So if you have your car tags and they’ve just been sitting in your house or your glove box, and you’ve been avoiding putting them on for some reason, get them on your license plates right away!
Some states require you to go to court to pay the fine. You should prove that you have since updated your registration and now have the proper tags on your license plate at this court date.
The punishment could be more severe, though. If your tag is more than six months expired, your car could get impounded, and removing your vehicle from impound can be costly and complicated.
Most cars in impound are not available for release until you solve the problems that caused the impound in the first place. So, it is best to avoid this situation entirely and just get your car tags taken care of before you get ticketed and punished.
If you lose your car tags, you’ll need to fill out an “Application for Replacement Plates, Stickers, Documents” form. The form’s title may differ depending on the state, but the function is the same. You’ll need to provide the following information:
- Your name
- Driver’s license number
- License plate number
Then, mail the form and payment to the address provided on the document and wait for your tags.
Car titles establish the owner of a vehicle, and they never expire. Car tags indicate the status of registration, which determines the legality of driving a car on public roads. Tags expire.
A car title is a single document that establishes who the vehicle owner is, and the title only needs to change if the owner changes. The title will usually have the following information:
- VIN number
- Title number
- Make, model, year of the vehicle
- License plate number (Vehicle registration number)
- Owner’s name
- Owner’s address
The title reflects the vehicle’s information so future owners know the history and can make an informed purchase.
Car tags and car titles are essential to have if you are a car owner, but they are very different and serve different purposes.
As long as you renew your car’s registration every year and properly affix the car tags to your license plate, you shouldn’t have any problems with the DMV or law enforcement regarding your car’s registration. That means less expense and stress for you and more carefree driving!

Hosting a poker game at home is a fantastic way to gather friends and enjoy an evening of excitement, strategy and friendly competition. Whether you’re a poker enthusiast or a casual player, organizing a home poker game can create lasting memories. Unlike online poker, it does take some preparation, though. You need to make sure you have the necessary equipment, invite players, establish the rules and stakes and prepare the playing area. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to set up a poker game at home.
How To Set Up A Poker Game In Style
To kick off an unforgettable home poker game, make sure you have the essential elements for a perfect poker setup in place. Start by creating a casino party atmosphere. Depending on how far you want to take it, you could set up a red carpet entrance, decorate the space with playing card motifs, set up a designated bar area with signature cocktails and provide a variety of casino-inspired snacks. You could even consider hiring a professional dealer to enhance the authentic casino experience. With the right touches, your party could resemble one of those celebrity home poker games attended by players such as Tobey Maguire, Ben Affleck and Leonardo DiCaprio. Whether you go for a “rich and classy” or “tourist in Vegas” event, prepare for an evening of excitement by ensuring to add the elements described as follows.
Suitable Playing Area
Find a spacious area that can accommodate a home poker table or a large enough surface to accommodate players comfortably. Set the mood with dimmed lighting, creating an intimate and cozy atmosphere.
Poker Table and Chairs
Don’t forget to ensure comfortable seating for your players so they can enjoy hours of poker fun. Invest in a sturdy home poker table or improvise with a suitable alternative. It must be spacious, comfortable and should provide ample room for players to place their cards and chips. Make sure you have enough chairs for all players.
Playing Cards and Poker Chips
A standard deck of 52 playing cards is essential. Consider getting multiple decks for convenience and to prevent delays in case of damaged cards. Arrange a stack of high-quality poker chips by denomination, with higher values on top and lower values at the bottom. Place them within easy reach of each player, creating a visually appealing display that adds an authentic and exciting touch to the game.
Dealer Button and Timer
A dealer button is a marker used to indicate the position of the dealer during each hand in a home poker game. It rotates clockwise around the table, ensuring fair distribution of the dealer’s duties and adding a professional touch to your game. You could also use a smartphone app to manage blind levels and ensure the game progresses smoothly.
Snacks and Drinks
Serve a variety of tasty snacks and refreshing drinks to keep your home poker game enjoyable. Typical snacks for poker night are finger foods such as chips, pretzels and popcorn for easy enjoyment, but there’s no reason why a poker party can’t be a home sushi party at the same time. For drinks, have a selection of beverages such as beer, cocktails, sodas and water to cater to different preferences.
Set the mood with background music to enhance the ambiance of your home poker game. Choose a playlist that complements the atmosphere you want to create, whether it’s upbeat and energetic for a lively game or smooth and jazzy for a more relaxed vibe.
Structure the Experience
For a great home poker game, prioritize flexibility and accommodate players’ preferences for stakes, game formats and rules. Determine the buy-in amount and set stakes that align with the comfort levels of your players. This ensures that everyone can participate without feeling excluded by high or low stakes.
Establishing clear rules and etiquette guidelines is also vital. This includes defining betting limits, explaining proper chip handling and emphasizing respectful behavior at the table. By setting these expectations from the beginning, you can promote a harmonious and fair gaming environment.
Decide on the specific poker variant you’ll be playing, whether it’s the popular Texas Hold’em, Omaha or Seven-Card Stud. Communicate this choice to the players well in advance so they have an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the rules. This will contribute to a smoother and more enjoyable game.
Go Big or Go Home
An at-home poker game offers a casual and flexible environment where players can enjoy the game at their own pace, with the emphasis on having fun. On the other hand, an at-home poker tournament takes the excitement up a notch by introducing a structured competition that follows predetermined blind levels, fixed rules and an elimination process, all with the goal of determining a clear winner. For a tournament to be viable, you need at least eight players. Depending on how big you want your tournament to be, you may have to buy more chips. A set of 1,000 chips will easily accommodate a 20-player tournament.
Play Poker Online With Friends at BetMGM
Another way to enjoy poker with your friends is to play online poker. It’s easy to set up – simply register at BetMGM and create a club with our poker software. Choose a name for your club, a password and a description for your friends to see in the club lobby and start playing.

A fundamental poker skill is the ability to read the other players. You want your opponent to fold when he or she has a better hand, and call when you have a worse one. This skill involves psychology and guesswork, but it can be learned with some practice. A common observation of your opponents’ tendencies can help you understand their actions. Here are some tips to read your opponents. If you can figure out their actions, you can win more hands.
The basic strategy in poker is to build a strong foundation. Just as a building needs a foundation before it can be completed, so does a game of poker. If you want to win at poker, you must first lay a solid foundation. In other words, you must understand how to play the game. This will ensure that you have a good base to build on. Once you know the basics of the game, you can then work on improving your hand.
Poker is played with chips. A white chip is the lowest value of the four common types. A red chip is worth five whites, while a blue chip is worth two, four, or five reds. In order to participate in a poker game, you buy in by purchasing a chip. Usually, you have to buy in at least as much as the minimum amount to play. If you’re playing with seven people or more, it is wise to supply your players with the chips.
Before starting a poker game, it’s important to understand how to set the foundation. Like building a house, you must first lay the foundation. Then, you must build the structure. By laying a strong foundation, you can build a solid base and a strong frame. Likewise, poker rules are easy to understand. When you master these terms, you will be able to play the game with confidence. So, go ahead and begin playing poker!
Poker terminology is important. It is crucial for your success in the game. To learn the rules of poker, you must first learn the basics. You should know the terms “A” to A. You should also know “A” to R. Similarly, you should know “A” to S. The “R” stands for aces.” Then, you should place your bets. This is a way to win a game.
A good poker strategy should include a strong foundation. This is the most important part of the game. It is the foundation of the game. It will help you build your winning strategy. A solid foundation is essential for any player. You need to have a solid foundation to make it happen. By laying the correct foundation, you can build a strong poker strategy. You can use this to your advantage. If you do not know how to play poker, you should consult a professional. | <urn:uuid:bb43eb3b-d12c-4af2-b637-273417817b94> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://castpodder.net/how-to-read-your-opponents-and-win-at-poker/ | 2023-09-28T17:32:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.967635 | 576 |

Around 14 percent of Americans use CBD products, so their rise in popularity should come as no surprise. Everything from CBD skincare to CBD snacks is available for purchase and it isn’t difficult to find no matter where you live. One of the items you may not have tried yet is CBD soap, which needs to change ASAP!
Using CBD soap as part of your personal hygiene routine has many benefits. The skin can easily absorb topical cannabidiol (CBD) from a variety of products so incorporating CBD soap is a great way to transform your skin.
Not entirely convinced? Here are all of the reasons you will love this CBD bath product.
1. Anti-Inflammatory Properties
In order to understand how CBD soap works, you need to know how CBD works. Don’t worry, this will be brief.
The human body has a primary endocannabinoid system. This controls things like hunger, memory, mood, pain, and body temperature. Cannabinoids, like CBD, bind to specific recepts on your neurons and signal cells to regulate these functions.
Your skin also has its own endocannabinoid system! When CBD circulates through your blood and interacts with your skin, it can cause a range of benefits. This includes reduced inflammation.
Since CBD has healing properties, it works by moisturizing the skin and reducing inflammation and redness. It can also calm your sebaceous glands which is usually the culprit whenever you break out.
No, you won’t get high from using CBD soap, if you were concerned about that. There are non-detectable amounts of THC, which is what is responsible for that feeling of being ‘high’.
2. Anti-Aging Benefits
If you’re dealing with signs of aging like dull skin and fine wrinkles then you’ll love using CBD soap as treatment. The antioxidants of CBD oil fight free radical damage and this slows the visible signs of aging. CBD oil is often the main ingredient in CBD soap so that means it’s full of anti-aging benefits.
Another reason why CBD is so great with anti-aging is something mentioned previously which is the effect it has on the sebaceous glands in the skin. The role CBD plays involved hormonal balance and this means sending messages to the receptors to the signal glands that produce hormones. This balancing of your sebaceous gland is not only great for acne but for signs of aging!
In addition to using CBD skincare to help slow down the signs of aging, there are other external influences to consider. Reduce the amount of time you spend in the sun without sunscreen and try to lose your smoking habit if you have one. These two things will work wonderfully with using CBD soap.
Be sure to drink plenty of water a day, at least eight glasses, to keep yourself hydrated. After all, water helps create more elastin and collagen.
3. Pain Reliever
The biggest medical reason people use CBD is to help alleviate pain. While it may not be as strong as your usual bottled pain relievers, using CBD soap can help ease any mild pain you might have. If you’re suffering from arthritis, CBD is particularly beneficial for that.
For example, if you have arthritis on your knuckles or pain in your knees, wash those areas with CBD soap as often as you can. Your skin will absorb all of the medicinal ingredients and soothe your pain. Of course, everyone’s body is different so you may need to use it a little longer if you’re not seeing immediate results.
It’s important to remember that you consult your doctor before trying out any new products for medicinal purposes.
4. Helps With Sleep
Besides pain relief, CBD is also known for it’s relaxing properties. It helps ease anxiety and promote a sense of balance and stability. If you live a stressful lifestyle, you know how difficult it can be to sleep well.
Even if you don’t live a stressful lifestyle, there are many factors that can cause poor sleep. This includes mental health disorders like anxiety and depression. There’s also caffeine and environmental factors like an uncomfortable bed.
While CBD isn’t going to knock you out immediately, using CBD soap as part of a relaxing bedtime routine will help relieve stress and anxiety. This sense of relief will lead you to feel more relaxed and ready for bed.
Want to sleep like a baby? Use CBD bath products before bed then turn off your electronics before bed, make a nice cup of tea, and read a good book. It’ll be lights out before you know it.
5. Moisturizes Dry Skin
As if the CBD skincare benefits weren’t enough, here’s another one to add to the list. CBD oil is particularly good in treating dry, itchy skin. If you suffer from eczema or psoriasis, you know how frustrating it can be to buy products to help soothe your skin – only to be disappointed by the results.
The reason CBD works so well goes back to the way it’s able to inhibit the body’s inflammatory responses and related pain that is caused by eczema and psoriasis. Before rushing to a local CBD store, be sure to do your research and make sure that you look for potent CBD bath products that are full of preservatives. Buying the right CBD product is as important as using it often to see results.
Reasons You Will Love CBD Soap
If you’re feeling like it’s time to change your skincare routine, it can be intimidating to know what products to try. After all, it’s not exactly like there’s a limited amount of options. As the world moves toward organic and natural products, consider introducing CBD soap to your skincare regime.
Not only does it help your skin, regardless of what issues you’re trying to fix, but it can help you sleep better at night and act as a pain reliever. With CBD oil as the main ingredient, you’re sure to receive all the wonderful benefits and see a difference in no time. | <urn:uuid:6cf47a83-b67c-463f-b247-7c5454d64bc2> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://cbdwarehouseusa.com/education/cbd-soap-a-soothing-relaxing-way-to-start-or-end-your-day/ | 2023-09-28T18:16:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.946188 | 1,283 |

Finding easier ways to complete daily tasks can make life simpler. As we start the New Year, try these helpful ideas.
1. Alter clothing when you can. Try clothing that fastens or that has Velcro. Attach your belt on your trousers before you put on clothing. Place clear nail polish on buttons to keep them from falling off.
2. To prevent slipping in the bathroom, buy non-slip mats for the shower/bath or use a shower chair. Make sure to use absorbent rugs on the floor as well.
3. Stools and chairs are your friend. Use a tall stool in the kitchen so that you can sit while washing dishes or making food. In the bathroom, a chair might help when you are brushing your teeth, washing your face or doing other tasks.
4. As a way of keeping your fridge organized and items in it accessible, place a Lazy Susan in your fridge.
5. Use long-handled brushes, soap on ropes, bath sponges, and hanging caddies to make it easier to store your items and wash up.

Charlotte Lewis is an English actress born on August 7, 1967, in Kensington, London, the daughter of a doctor whose father is half Chilean and half Iraqi and whose mother is of Irish-English descent. For reasons not disclosed, the actress never met her father and was raised exclusively by her mother. Lewis received her early education at the Bishop Douglass School in Finchley, but there is no further information about her college education.
The star actress is of mixed ethnicity and has obviously inherited all the good qualities from both sides, as she is still a sight to see even at such an advanced age. She ventured into acting as a teenager in 1986 when she appeared in the film Pirates, which was her debut film. In the same year, she was given a starring role in the film The Golden Child Beside the Big Wig Eddie Murphy, in which she further demonstrated her talent and appeared in other films such as Dial: Help (1988), Tripwire (1989), The Legend of the Emerald Princess (1989), Lipstick Camera (1994), Men of War (1994), The Glass Cage (1986), Every Dog Has Its Day (1999) and many others.
She soon became very popular as an actress and the magazines called for her. With her beauty and talent, this was also a success. She was on the cover of the July 1993 issue of Playboy magazine and caused quite a stir, opening the doors to her television debut. Charlotte Lewis appeared in series like “Grange Hill”, “Crime Story”, “Broken Bridges”, “Red Shoe Diaries”, “Renegade” and others. Her last appearance in a television series was in Lost Angelas, which was released in 2017. From her numerous works before and after the break and after her return, as well as from her modeling jobs, she is credited with a net worth of $2 million.
6 Things You Need to Know About Charlotte Lewis
Charlotte Lewis has gone out with quite a few famous actors and celebrities, and that’s no surprise considering how beautiful she is, but she has never been one to linger. The long list of those she has dated at some point includes Jim Carrey, William Annesley, Julian Lennon, Mario Sotela, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Charlie Sheen, Warren Beatty, Roman Polanski, Jack Nicholson, Mickey Rourke, Harry Dean Stanton, and others. That’s a long time, huh?
But as I mentioned earlier, Lewis is known for never staying too long in any relationship with the opposite sex. This has also led to many questions regarding her sexuality, as many believe that she may be more attracted to women than men. Ironically, she has not taken the time to respond to speculation or to make it clear that she is heterosexual.
All in all, Charlotte Lewis is not yet married, but she has a son who currently lives in London. Not much is known about him, but we do know that she had him sometime in August 2004.
The Polanski Scandal
Much dust was stirred up in 2010 when Charlotte Lewis and her lawyer Roman Polanski accused Lewis of sexual abuse at the age of 16. The accusation soon became a huge scandal when Polanski came out and openly denied the allegations. Further investigation dug up an interview that Lewis had given in 1999 and found that the two of them had indeed had a romantic relationship that apparently began and ended with each other.
The two had met while working together on the comedy film Pirates (1986) and had remained friends even after the end of their six-month relationship because, according to Lewis, Polanski did not want them to be friends in this way. But the accusation was a big dent in Polanski’s image, especially since it was neither the first nor the last of these accusations.
Charlotte Lewis began her acting career at Grange Hill, where she appeared as Samantha when she was just eleven years old. At the age of 14, while studying at Bishop Douglas Catholic Secondary School, Charlotte Lewis became involved in prostitution, into which she was lured by an older boyfriend who had hocked underage girls to much older men.
The actress said she never knew what she was doing because the older lady in charge often spilled her drink. But when she woke up one morning with a wad of cash on the bedside table and only vaguely remembered what happened, she confronted her so-called boyfriend who told her it was a mistake but kept doing it anyway. The phase lasted until the friend took her to a group of Arabs who promised her a better life if she came with them to Saudi Arabia. At this point, she came to her senses and confessed her deeds to her mother after narrowly escaping the Arabs.
Charlotte Lewis Drug Addiction
At the time Charlotte Lewis went into prostitution, she also became addicted to cocaine, but unlike prostitution, which she easily stopped using, it was not so easy to stop using drugs until she asked a former alcoholic and junkie boyfriend for help at the age of 29. As her friend Eric had a good understanding of what she was going through at the time, she quickly flew to London and took her to the Priory Clinic in Roehampton.
During a four-week program, she lost a ton of weight but was successfully weaned from the drugs to help her overcome her addiction.
Many knew her because of her very brief romantic involvement, and although fans expected her to walk down the aisle with someone, this never happened. However, she did get close once, when she went out with film producer Mario Sotela and eventually became engaged to him. The engagement lasted a year, but instead of the wedding date that many had been looking forward to, the two broke up.
Charlotte Lewis Body Measurements
There is no doubt that Charlotte Lewis is a very beautiful woman. Judging by all the signs and by how early she set off, she was classified as an early bloomer, so by the age of 14, she was already a head-turner. She is 1.5 meters 6 inches tall and has dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. Her waist size is 23 inches, she wears a bra size of 34B, and her hip size is 34 inches. | <urn:uuid:ffe30e2a-e7b4-4898-88fb-a146dddbf6a5> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://celeboid.com/who-is-charlotte-lewis-6-things-you-need-to-know/ | 2023-09-28T17:46:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.989614 | 1,291 |
Net worth of Ion Tiriac:
Ion Tiriac is a Romanian businessman and former professional ice hockey and tennis player with a Fortune 1.2 billion dollars. After a fairly successful tennis career, he turned to an extremely successful career as a businessman and went on to earn billions of dollars.
Richest athlete in the world?
For much of the last decade, Ion was the wealthiest former professional athlete in the world. His net worth peaked at about $2 billion. Michael Jordan was the second wealthiest athlete with a net worth ranging from $1.5 billion to $1.9 billion between 2014 and 2019. By 2020, Ion’s wealth had dropped by almost half to $1.2 billion while Michael Jordan’s wealth increased to $2.2 billion by April 2020, allowing MJ to win the title of the world’s richest athlete.
Ion Tiriac Wiki
He was born in Brasov, Romania, in May 1939. As a tennis player, Tiriac won the Bavarian International Tennis Championships in 1970. He reached the quarter-finals of the French Open in 1968. He was a more successful doubles player, winning 22 career titles, including the French Open in 1970. Tiriac was ranked No. 19 in doubles tennis in April 1979. He represented Romania in international competition and won gold medals in singles and mixed doubles at the Summer Universiade in Budapest in 1965. He also reached the Davis Cup final in 1969, 1971 and 1972.
After retiring from the sport, Tiriac began managing other players. He immediately became the full-time coach of Ilie Năstase and eventually coached superstars such as Mary Joe Fernández, Guillermo Vilas, Marat Safin, Steffi Graf and Goran Ivanišević. Between 1984 and 1993, Ion personally orchestrated the rise of Boris Becker to become the No. 1 ranked player in the world (1991).
Working with Boris Becker during this interesting period in German history exposed Ion to Western business practices. In 1990 he founded his own bank in Romania, which he called Banca Tiriac. It was the very first private bank in post-communist Romania.
He went on to launch retail businesses, car dealerships, an airline and an insurance company. It also owns a large portfolio of residential and commercial real estate.

South Korean boy band BTS is moving forward with plans to produce non-fungible tokens despite the immense public backlash, which mainly consisted of environmental concerns that typically accompany digital assets.
Hybe, the management agency of the seven-member K-pop group, confirmed the plan to The Wall Street Journal Thursday, marking its first public comment since the criticism emerged.
“We believe NFTs have the potential for expansion and hope they will provide fans with more varied experiences and opportunities to express themselves,” John Kim, project lead of HybeAmerica that oversees the NFT business, told the WSJ.
Kim also revealed the initial launch, which will involve NFT photocards of the band members, will take place by the first half of 2022.
The plan was first unveiled in November, when the band’s management signed a deal with top South Korea crypto exchange Dunamu.
But the backlash was swift, even among the band’s biggest fans. Negative reaction focused on the environmental impact of all the energy needed to mint and trade NFTs, which run on a blockchain and are bought with digital assets.
Despite the environmental concerns, NFTs — digital representations of artwork, sports cards, or other collectibles — have surged in popularity this year and have caught the attention of investors from Hollywood to Wall Street.
BTS, heralded as among the most successful bands in the world, regularly releases physical photocards that fans clamor to collect. And by launching NFTs, it seeks to enter a hot market that has seen total sales volume surge to $14 billion in 2021. | <urn:uuid:d08617f5-64d9-40ce-9bd9-3ec3d2be8470> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://centraltribune.com/boy-band-bts-says-it-will-move-forward-with-nft-offerings-despite-sharp-online-backlash-report-says/ | 2023-09-28T17:53:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.937529 | 452 |
Warning: Actively exploited API Authentication Bypass on Ivanti Sentry Administrator Interface leads to RCE, Patch Immediately!
CVE-2023-38035: CVSS 9.8 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

An unauthenticated remote attacker can trigger a DoS execute arbitrary code, possibly leading to a compromise of system/data integrity, confidentiality, and/or availability. The vendor reports this vulnerability is exploited in the wild by an actor after exploiting CVE-2023-35078 and CVE-2023-35081, vulnerabilities in Ivanti EPMM.
Ivanti Sentry, formerly MobileIron Sentry, is a part of a MobileIron deployment that serves as a gatekeeper to an ActiveSync server, such as a Microsoft Exchange Server, or with a backend resource such as a Sharepoint server, or it can be configured as a Kerberos Key Distribution Center Proxy (KKDCP) server. Sentry gets configuration and device information from a MobileIron unified endpoint management (UEM) platform - MobileIron Core or MobileIron Cloud.
CVE-2023-38035 impacts all supported versions – 9.18, 9.17, and 9.16. Older versions/releases are also at risk. This vulnerability does not affect other Ivanti products or solutions, such as Ivanti EPMM, MobileIron Cloud or Ivanti Neurons for MDM. Exploitation is only possible though the System Manager Portal (commonly MICS), hosted on port 8443 by default. The System Manager Portal is used for administration of the Sentry system. While the issue has a high CVSS score, there is low risk of exploitation for customers who do not expose port 8443 to the internet.
If exploited, this vulnerability enables an unauthenticated actor to make configuration changes to Sentry and underlying operating system. The vendor has been informed of exploitation in the wild of this vulnerability by a very limited number of customers. In addition, Ivanti does not have any specific indicators that can be shared for exploitation of this vulnerability at this time. Ivanti has been informed that CVE-2023-38035 was exploited after exploiting CVE-2023-35078 and CVE-2023-35081. These two vulnerabilities concern Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM), formerly MobileIron Core.
The Centre for Cyber Security Belgium strongly recommends Windows system administrators to take the following actions:
Implement access and authorisation management policies to restrict access to the System Manager Portal to authorised persons only from authorised networks only.
Please upgrade to the vendor recommended version (or higher) after thorough testing and keep an eye out for future security bulletins.
- Ivanty Sentry 9.18.0-3
- Ivanty Sentry 9.17.0-3
- Ivanty Sentry 9.16.0-3
The CCB recommends organizations to upscale monitoring and detection capabilities and to detect any related suspicious activity, ensuring a fast response in case of an intrusion.
While patching appliances or software to the newest version may provide safety from future exploitation, it does not remediate historic compromise. When applying patches to systems that have been vulnerable to an RCE exploit, a proactive threat assessment should be performed to verify no exploitation occurred prior to patching.

A strategic plan initiated by Konkol has reaffirmed Hendricks Chapel as a central component of campus life, focused on increasing student involvement by understanding and addressing student aspirations, clarifying the chapel mission, pursuing organizational innovation and excellence, inspiring philanthropic support, and cultivating a commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility.

If the CO2 emissions of the aviation sector were measured as a country, it would be ranked among the top 10 emitters. That´s why immediate action is overdue. Until today, aviation is the most climate-damaging way to travel and transport. But there are ambitious targets: Several players in the aviation sector have recently announced or reaffirmed their ambitions to become climate neutral.
But in the past, the aviation sector has struggled to cover its responsibilities. To achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement and to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees, it is evident that aviation must strive towards climate neutrality. Many players in the field, such as the International Air Transport Association (IATA), representing 290 member airlines and 82% of pre-pandemic global air traffic, committed themselves to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Even though this is one step forward, many questions remain unanswered.
One huge problem that has to be solved, are the so-called non-CO2 emissions. These emissions, including oxygen of nitrogen (NOx), soot particles, water vapor from contrails of planes and oxidised Sulphur species are even harder to reduce than CO2 but are responsible for around two-thirds of aviation´s climate impact.
Other topics that have to be targeted, are timelines and the concrete implementation of emission reduction. Another point of discussion is the question, whether or not offsetting is a solution to come closer to the aim of becoming climate neutral. While the IATA identifies the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSA) by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) as an important measure, environmental associations such as Germanwatch criticise offsetting, because it tackles compensation rather than reduction.
Reaching net-zero in aviation requires a wide range of measures:
One possible solution that is included in the last point are sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), such as Power-to-Liquid (PtL) based on hydrogen. Atmosfair recently opened such a PtL plant in Wertle, Northwest Germany, and showed that PtL is technically already feasible. It is the first plant in the world to produce CO2-neutral e-kerosene on an industrial scale, using only renewable, additional electricity, water, and CO2 captured directly from the air (Direct Air Capture, DAC) and from biogas produced from food waste. This shows the huge potential of PtL. But even though PtL is CO2-neutral when produced, the combustion still emits non-CO2 emissions that fuel global warming.
Another aspect that generates emissions is the transport of the PtL. Therefore PtL should be transported as little as possible. Whenever possible, the e-fuel should be refueled on-site where it has been produced. According to Volker Ratzmann, Executive Vice President Corporate Public Affairs at Deutsche Post DHL Group, off-takers as the Deutsche Post DHL Group are willing to pay higher prices for PtL, if certificates are counted towards DHL’s emissions reduction.
In the future, it should become technically feasible to tank synthetic e-fuels only, i.e. without being blended with fossil fuels as it is required today. Siegfried Knecht, Head of CTO External Affairs Germany Airbus declared to be currently working on making this possible together with the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt, DLR).
Finally, it is crucial to look further than to electricity and water supply and to apply a holistic sustainability approach to the entire PtL value chain. Such a comprehensible sustainability framework, including economic, social, environmental, and governance dimensions was developed by the International Power-to-X Hub.
Now the ambitious commitments must be followed by concrete action. To achieve an upscaling of the PtL production action plans and policies to promote the market ramp-up must be put in place. That’s the only possibility to meet the aviation demand for CO2-neutral fuels.
The International PtX Hub Berlin is part of the International Climate Initiative (Internationale Klimaschutzinitiative, IKI) and is implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU).

Dogs are one of the most popular pet options globally, and they are an animal about which many people are passionate. Therefore, it is no wonder that dogs are used as the inspiration or focus in a wide range of media, including television, films, animations, and books. They are also used as inspiration for the lyrics of many songs across many genres. Here are the 10 best songs about dogs.
10. Gonna Buy Me a Dog, The Monkees (1966)
‘Gonna Buy Me a Dog’ is about men realizing that if they cannot get a girl, then a dog makes a great alternative as a companion. The song was the last track on the group’s self-titled debut album and featured Micky Dolenz and Davy Jones on the lead vocal. Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart wrote this song.
9. Quiche Lorraine, The B-52’s (1980)
Although the title of the song indicates that it is about the popular French egg flan dish, it is actually about a green poodle called Quiche. There are some that say the title of the song is also used as a metaphor for a relationship that went to the dogs. This song featured on the 1980 album ‘Wild Planet.’ The song was written by band members Fred Schneider, Ricky Wilson, Cindy Wilson, and Kate Pierson, and it featured Schneider, Pierson, and Cindy Wilson on the lead vocals.
8. How Much Is That Doggie in the Window? Patti Page (1953)
‘How Much Is That Doggie in the Window?’ was a novelty single released by Patti Page in 1953. It was written by Bob Merrill and is based on the song ‘Oh, Where, Oh, Where, Has My Little Dog Gone?’ and the folk tune ‘Carnival of Venice.’ There are many versions of the song, and Patti Page’s version is the best known in the United States. However, in the same year, Lita Roza’s version is best known in the UK, where it topped the charts.
7. Cracker Jack, Dolly Parton (1974)
Dolly Parton had several dogs during her lifetime, but Cracker Jack was a dog that had a special place in her heart. She got the dog when he was a stray pup, and he remained her loyal friend until his death. Parton was inspired to write an ode to her canine love. The song featured on Parton’s 13th studio album ‘Jolene.’
6. I Wanna Be Your Dog, The Stooges (1969)
The Stooges’ ‘I Wanna Be Your Dog’ has become a punk classic. On the face of the lyrics, the song is about a man who wants to have the same bond with a woman that humans have with dogs. However, there is an underlying message about sexual devotion. This rock appears on the band’s self-titled album and features Iggy Pop on lead vocals. Actor John McCrea sings a version of this song on the 2021 film’ Cruella.’ others who have covered this song include Sid Vicious, Matt Mays, Sonic Youth, Slayer, and Emilie Simon.
5. I Love My Dog, Yusuf/ Cat Stevens (1967)
There is a level of irony about a song about a dog being written by a cat. ‘I Love My Dog’ was the debut single of Cat Stevens, who later became known as Yusuf. It is about a man who loves his dog as much as his lover and hints that the dog may remain in his life a lot longer. The song appeared on the 1967 album ‘Matthew & Son.’
4. Who Let the Dogs Out, Baha Men (2000)
‘Who Let the Dogs Out’ has lyrics that are interpreted in various ways. Taken literally, the song is about dogs. When the song was released, many people thought that it was about ugly women. However, The Forty Five says that the song is calling out men who bark at women in public. It began as an underground hit and was first played by English DJ John Peel. The song featured on the album ‘Absolute Music 33.’
3. Martha My Dear, The Beatles (1968)
Many fans of the Beatles assume that this song is about a woman called Martha, and the lyrics certainly work for that scenario. However, the song was written by Paul McCartney about his sheepdog, Martha. Despite the confusion about the meaning of the song, the fact that the lyrics could relate to different situations helped the song’s popularity. The song featured on the band’s 1968 self-titled album.
2. Hound Dog, Elvis Presley (1956)
Elvis Presley’s single ‘Hound Dog’ was the lead track from the 1956 album of the same name. Although Presley’s version of the song is the best known, it was originally sung by Big Mama Thornton in 1952. The song compared the behavior of a man to the bad behavior of a hound dog. Presley’s version of this track is one of the best-selling singles of all time.
1. Atomic Dog, George Clinton (1982)
According to U Discover Music, one of the best songs about dogs is Atomic Dog. The story goes that George Clinton was heading to the studio high on drugs, and he had the word ‘dog’ stuck in his head. When he arrived at the studio, Clinton began improvising a song about a dog, and he recorded the song in just two takes. The song featured on the album’ Computer Games,’ and it topped the R&B chart in the United States. Although the song failed to make it onto the Billboard Hot 100, it has since gained popularity as it has been sampled in several hip-hop songs. | <urn:uuid:d7cd96f8-acb5-44ed-8e2a-56b5f12a3b79> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://chaospin.com/best-songs-about-dogs/ | 2023-09-28T18:50:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.976269 | 1,294 |
Dillinger Escape Plan is one of the most influential and important bands in metal. Their music is fast, heavy, and sophisticated. It’s a constant struggle between chaos and control that will leave you blown away. With 6 studio albums to their name, ranking all Dillinger Escape Plan albums can seem like a daunting task. But it really isn’t that hard when you break it down album by album.
6. Ire Works
Released in 2007, Ire Works is the band’s third studio album. While it’s an excellent album, it doesn’t quite reach the standards set by the band’s prior albums. It was released on Relapse records, and is best known for the track “The Perfect Design”. It’s also the first album after the drummer Chris Pennie departed from the band. The album received mixed reviews, but still sold decently enough for the band to continue on. Because of the wild success of ‘Miss Machine’, the band successfully avoided their sophomore slump record, and gave themselves the liberty to get more experimental and dive more into the math rock elements that they enjoyed, which is clear to hear on this record.
5. Option Paralysis
Dillinger’s fourth full length album from 2010 is another solid piece of work from the band. On this one, they’re exploring their more ambient side, which is really something like nothing else. Option Paralysis was released in 2010 on guitarist Ben Weinmans’ imprint record Party Smasher, which formed specifically for the release of this record. This came about after they had fulfilled their contract with Relapse Records, and wanted to own more of their music masters and publishing rights. Fortuantely, they stuck with long time producer Steve Evetts, who helped keep them on track and true to their sound.
Dissociation is the band’s sixth and most recent studio album, released in 2016 after their extended hiatus. It is also dubbed as their final record, as the band is currently inactive. The record was also released via Party Smasher, and was also produced by Steve Evetts. The band always intended for this record to be their last, and they broke up after the album cycle. The singles from this album include “Limerent Death” and “Symptom Of Terminal Illness”, which both have themes that match that of the band finally coming to an end, but on their own terms. They were met with high acclaim from both fans and music critics alike.
3. Calculating Infinity
The band’s debut album, Calculating Infinity might just be the best album from them that captures their early chaotic sound. It is certainly the most influential record for mathcore and metalcore bands today. The record features an intense display of breakdowns, crazy time signature changes, and skramz vocals. The opener track “Sugar Coated Sour” is one of Dillinger Escape Plan’s most recognizable songs ever. While “43% Burnt” is one of the most chaotic songs in their catalog. The band allowed guitarist Ben Weinman to play his guitar through an amplifier that he built himself, which was later dubbed ‘drone’. This album made Dillinger a household name in metal, and it’s considered a classic record.
2. Miss Machine
The sophomore record from Dillinger Escape Plan came in 2004, and helped catapult the band into a new realm of success. With three powerful singles, they were able to rapidly grow their fanbase and make a household name for themselves. Their biggest singles were “Panasonic Youth”, “Setting Fire To Sleeping Giants”, and “Unretrofied”. This album is based entirely on the concept of a dystopian future, and the struggles of the working class. Each track describes different social issues, which was something that was new to Dillinger at the time. This made for a more relatable record, not just for metal heads, but for everyone.
1. One Of Us Is The Killer
Probably the most well known album from Dillinger Escape Plan, One Of Us Is The Killer is fifth full length album from the band, and was released in 2013. It was a one off album that was released via notable Los Angeles based metal label, Sumerian Records. It includes the much loved single ‘Prancer’ that received a ton of radio play when it was released. But more than that, this record is a huge step forward for the band. They were becoming less like their peers and more experimental, to where they didn’t even sound like they were from the same genre as their contemporaries. Their first three songs garnered the most attention along with “Prancer”, including the title track “One Of Us Is The Killer”, and “When I Lost My Bet”. Dillinger Escape Plan is widely regarded as the best mathcore band to ever exist, and rightfully so. They’ve made some of the most intense, thought provoking, and musically complex music that you’ll ever hear. To put their sound into perspective, they are the most sonically unique band in all of metal. Their influence can be heard in a lot of modern metal bands today, with their chaotic nature and progressive songwriting style.
Dillinger Escape Plan is a band that I hold very dear to my heart and is one of my all time favorite bands. So when it came to writing this list I didn’t take it lightly. The band’s career was short lived when you consider how much success they packed into that 12 year span, but they were able to end on their own terms, which is a very admirable thing for a band to do. They each continue with their own side projects, and still work closely with producer Steve Evetts. | <urn:uuid:6ed53a20-0c35-489e-ba53-2525d6787e85> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://chaospin.com/ranking-dillinger-escape-plan/ | 2023-09-28T17:44:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.979624 | 1,230 |

As an ’80’s metal band once sang, “18 and life to go.” Yet one can only wonder what kind of life awaits this 18-year-old.
Chatham-Kent police say they arrested a young woman wanted on an outstanding warrant.
The warrant was issued Jan. 30 for failing to comply with a probation order, and on Tuesday afternoon, officers found the woman on Churchill Street near Grand Avenue.
A search revealed a quantity of crystal meth.
An 18-year-old woman of no fixed address is charged with breach of probation and drug possession. | <urn:uuid:f0443075-2c5d-430a-ab1e-98acdba6157c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://chathamvoice.com/2015/02/04/18-and-life-to-go/ | 2023-09-28T18:28:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.931911 | 123 |

Student-founded startup Themis co-founded by Amardeep Singh (MEng) — which leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to streamline contract-drafting for lawyers — recently took home the top prize at the eighth-annual Hatchery Demo Day 2020, hosted by the Entrepreneurship Hatchery.
The event is the culmination of the Hatchery Nest program, a four-month accelerator that connects student teams with experienced mentors and industry leaders to develop their businesses.
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Demo Day took place virtually over the course of a week. A panel of judges and registrants had the opportunity to view pitch videos made by 16 competing Nest teams, as well as four Go-To-Market Stage teams — startups that are further along in their businesses.
Joseph Orozco, executive director of the Entrepreneurship Hatchery, says although the pandemic had made putting on Demo Day a challenge, it enabled students to pitch on the world stage.
“We received 2,900 votes and 1,800 views of your video pitches,” says Orozco. “These came from all over the world — San Francisco, Boston, Oxford and Mumbai, to name a few.”
“I want to extend my congrats to all the participants in the Hatchery for your resilience and being able to pivot in these times. As one of the judges, I was amazed by the initiative, entrepreneurship, innovation and professionalism,” says Dean Chris Yip, U of T Engineering. “The Hatchery is the jewel in the crown of our startup ecosystem at the Faculty, and has been such a huge attractor for students in choosing to go to U of T Engineering.”
Themis was among four companies to share a total of $42,500 in seed funding, composed of one $20,000 grand prize and two $10,000 runner-up prizes. A $2,500 Orozco prize is furnished through funds raised by the students themselves.
Here are the ChemE founded startups that took home top prizes at Demo Day 2020:
$20,000 Hatchery Prize: Themis — AI-powered add-in simplifies contract drafting for lawyers
Drafting a legal contract can take hours. With the power of AI, the Themis team aims to simplify this process with the click of a button.
Their Microsoft Word add-in streamlines the contract-drafting process for lawyers by automatically building a library of clauses from a lawyer’s own precedents and makes these clauses conveniently available within Word.
“There are no competitors who provide this fully integrated solution out of the box. Our competitors generally either allow lawyers to manually add their clauses to a library or provide generic clauses, but do not provide a fully automated solution as Themis,” says Rishi Dhir, a corporate lawyer at Stikeman Elliott LLP who co-founded the company alongside fellow lawyer Jey Kumarasamy, Amardeep Singh (MEng) and Cindy Chen(Year 4 EngSci).
Looking ahead, the team will beta test their prototype and look to partner with small law firms across Canada to gather feedback. The team plans to use their $20,000 prize money to fund development costs to increase the number of clauses and definitions Themis can identify, as well as to support infrastructure costs.
“We are also very proud of ourselves for making it this far. Each of our co-founders were either working or studying full-time during the summer and we had to be creative and disciplined to find the necessary time to work on Themis,” says Kumarasamy. “It wasn’t easy but in the span of four months we successfully delivered a functioning, viable product.”
$10,000 Hatchery Prize: Indus — 3D-printed smart soil gives a novel, futuristic approach to growing root vegetables
Indus aims to manufacture 3D-printable “soil” to grow root vegetables within existing commercial hydroponic systems.
Hydroponics — a controlled, soilless method of agriculture — still requires plants to be held within a porous material called “growing media,” which replicates the physical properties of soil.
“Our competitors in this space have no efficient solution to grow a high yield of root crops, as they don’t have the technical ability to engineer their materials with specific fluid retention properties essential for important staple crops, such as root vegetables, to thrive in a hydro-culture environment,” explains Adnan Sharif (Cell and Molecular Biology). The Indus team also includes Chihiro Tow (Architecture), Patrick Diep (ChemE PhD candidate) and alumnus Gamen Liu (ChemE 1T9).
The co-founders are recreating the physical properties that root vegetables require to thrive within soil into one robust material, optimizing it to be more applicable in more widely practiced commercial hydroponic techniques.
“Our team is confident that, with our technical prowess and connections within our respective fields, we’ll help to disrupt the hydroponics space within the decade with our engineered smart soil,” says Sharif, adding that winning the $10,000 prize is one big step towards meeting this goal.
$10,000 Hatchery Prize: Toothpod — Triple-action chewing gum for cleaner teeth
We all know we should brush our teeth twice a day, but many of us don’t spend the full amount of time on oral health that we should. Ninety-six percent of Canadian adults have had at least one cavity, despite the fact that this outcome is largely preventable.
Toothpod’s answer is a smart gum that cleans your teeth as you chew. It contains three different components to clean your tongue and mouth, and is designed for any situation where it is inconvenient to brush your teeth — when you’re on the go, at work, on an airplane, camping, etc.
“We worked very hard this summer to understand the customer need and develop Toothpod prototypes despite restricted lab access,” says Toothpod founder and CEO Vishar Yaghhoubian, a U of T student in Health Studies, Global Health and Psychology.
“This award validates our mission and tells us we’re on the right track,” she says.
The team also includes Lucy Chen, Alton Rego and Nikhil Konduru (all Year 3 ChemE) as well as Jenise Chen (Chemistry). | <urn:uuid:19a1c75d-6231-4e3c-a282-3d6a6008e1f1> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://chem-eng.utoronto.ca/news/cheme-students-take-home-top-prizes-at-hatcherys-2020-demo-day/ | 2023-09-28T18:08:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.956571 | 1,354 |
Businesses are growing at a rapid pace today, and so are their needs, which is why they are trying to come up with options that are more cost effective and efficient for them, so that they save money and make the best out of their resources. Though companies should focus on recruiting talent and human resources from their home country, but if they don’t have enough financial resources to have employees and teams of their own, then nearshore recruitment is the best option for them. For all those who don’t know what nearshore recruitment service in Mexico is, it is the recruitment of human resources from neighboring countries, the reasons for which can be many. Some might to do it to save money, while others might do it to get access to better human talent from other countries. For all those small and medium businesses who have no clue of how to get the best human assets for their organization, nearshore recruitment can the right option for them. Not only will it save you money, but provide you with wonderful skilled individuals who have expert knowledge in their fields. If you feel that your domestic country does not have the right qualified professionals which you need, then you can opt for nearshore recruitment services without any hesitation. Following are some of the benefits which you can achieve by opting for nearshore recruitment services:
- Highly cost effective: The number one thing that makes these services worth trying is the fact that they are light on your pocket and don’t cost you much in comparison to doing all the recruitment and hiring all by yourself. Though they are less costly than direct hiring, but their results are highly commendable. There is no compromise on the quality of workforce that you will get in exchange for the money investment which you make. Hence, you shouldn’t be worrying about the end result in any manner. All the recruitment and staffing will be done by the nearshore recruitment agency, which is why you shouldn’t be worrying about the whole process in any way.
- Get the kind of workers you want: Every business doesn’t do nearshore recruitment just for the purpose of getting permanent workers, because you can get temporary staff for the same purpose. You just need to be clear with your needs and requirements, because on the basis of that you will get the workers which you desire. Getting the right workers is very important, because lack of one can create inefficiency in the organization and lead to wastage of money. Since nearshore recruitment services are investing a lot of their money in education sector, therefore you will get access to more highly educated personnel and individuals who will have the required talent which you might be looking for. Why spend money on direct recruiting when you can get the same talent and staff in less price than you were going to pay.
- Synchronized time zones: The best part about near shore recruitment services is that you don’t need to worry about different time zones in both the countries as they are almost similar only. You can talk to your workers at anytime you want and tell them about the things that you wish to communicate. There will be no kind of hesitation and problem in communicating at all because similar time zones mean that you can contact the worker at anytime you want and ask them about the status of your work. Hence you can do all the work without facing any kind of discrepancy and discomfort.
- More control on operations: Since you are working with workers from the neighboring countries only, you won’t face any major challenge in controlling the operations of the work, as there is no specific language and culture barrier that may exist in both the countries. This gives you more autonomy on your work and provide you with the right resources at the right time. You don’t need to spend a lot of time on managing the resources and operations, as they will be managed simultaneously. When all the activities are in sync and properly managed, you can be sure of getting the right and best results that you can ever think of. More the control, more the chances of getting the results you want.
- Easy to travel to: Since nearshore recruitment focuses on getting workforce from your neighboring countries only, you can be satisfied that you don’t need to travel a lot to meet your workforce at anytime you want. You can choose your preferred mode of transportation and visit the workers without any problem. It won’t take you much time and money, and vice versa for your workers. Recruiting and staffing was never this easy, like the way nearshore recruitment has made it now.
- Get a chance to witness the best infrastructure: Along with getting access to the wonderful pool of talented staff, you can also get access to the wonderful infrastructure facilities in the neighboring countries. Not only do you need to focus on getting the right workforce, but right infrastructure also, so that you can be confident that the place you are investing your money is worth all the investment and gives back to you the returns that you need. If the right infrastructure doesn’t exists, you shouldn’t be investing your money there, because it won’t provide you with the returns which you might be expecting. The more composed and advanced the infrastructure is, the more great quality personnel can be hired from that country, as their level of education and knowledge is vast in comparison to the countries where infrastructure is least developed.
All the above mentioned points clearly explain how nearshore recruitment services can be beneficial for you and why you should opt for them. Along with that, you should also try the Nearshore payroll services Mexico as they will help you in managing the payroll services of your workforce in the best possible manner. | <urn:uuid:34f66a2f-7bc4-4e59-89fd-737986f00fce> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://cherishsisters.com/in-what-ways-can-nearshore-recruitment-services-be-beneficial-for-you/ | 2023-09-28T18:43:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.969306 | 1,145 |

A few days after Alexander Alekhine won the Capablanca - Alekhine World Championship Match (1927), both masters made a general agreement to play a rematch sometime within the next year, under the same rules as they had played the first match. Jose Raul Capablanca did not, however, issue a formal challenge at this time. On February 10, 1928 Capablanca wrote FIDE president Alexander Rueb, explaining his ideas about future changes to the world chess championship. Capablanca recommended altering the playing times and reducing the number of games to 16. He also forwarded this letter to Alekhine. Alekhine interpreted this as a wish to change the conditions for their planned rematch, and wrote Capablanca that he refused to play under any new conditions. Capablanca answered publicly, explaining that he had been talking about future matches, not the match with Alekhine, which "he hoped to arrange... under precisely the same conditions as those which obtained at Buenos Aires." In the meantime, on August 24, 1928 Efim Bogoljubov now challenged Alekhine to a world title match. Alekhine accepted in principle, provided that Bogoljubov could "give the guarantees provided for under the rules of London of 1922," which included a guaranteed $10,000 purse. On October 8, 1928 Capablanca now formally challenged Alekhine to a rematch. Alekhine wrote Capablanca that he would give Bogoljubov until January 15, 1929 to "arrange for and give me the guarantees provided for under the rules of London of 1922... In January 1929, Alekhine announced that "The match with Bogoljubow interests me far more than the battle with Capablanca... Bogoljubow is a much more serious opponent." In August 1929, when it became clear that Bogoljubov could not guarantee a $10,000 purse, Alekhine agreed to play him for a smaller amount. The match began September 6, 1929 under the following conditions: Alekhine would get $6,000 dollars win or lose, with any surplus going to Bogoljubov. A winner would be declared if he scored 15� points with 6 wins from a maximum of 30 games. Unlike the Capablanca-Alekhine 1927 match, which had been played in private, the Alekhine-Bogoljubov match would be played in public. The organizers insisted on this, in order to raise money from ticket sales. Only those cities that contributed to the purse would be allowed to host the match: Wiesbaden (games 1-8; 24-25), Heidelberg (games 9-11), Berlin (games 12-17), The Hague (games 18-19; 23), Rotterdam (game 20), and Amsterdam (games 21-22). Emanuel Lasker served as arbiter in the Berlin games. Alekhine won the 1st game, but Bogoljubov kept pace, evening the score 1-1 after a win in Game 4. The world champion won the next game, and Bogoljubov came right back again to win Game 6, tying the score at 2-2. Alekhine attributed this loss to an "enforced exchange of queens" on move 15 which produced a position that "could not be defended against by accurate play." The world champion now began to draw away with two consecutive victories. Alekhine regarded his win with the black pieces in Game 8 to be among his best, featuring an incisive mating combination beginning with 26...♘g3+! The match was now interrupted by a scheduled two week break so that Alekhine could attend the 6th FIDE congress in Venice. On resumption, Alekhine extended his lead to four games, but Bogoljubov clawed back to win games 13 and 14. This would be the challenger's last real resistance. Alekhine now won five of the next eight games, putting the match well out of reach. The final game proved a fitting example of the whole match, which featured exciting, but risky tactical chess throughout. The Wiener Schachzeitung commented that the games were played in "Wild West style," and that Alekhine had won by adapting himself to Bogoljubov's specialty, "the field of tactics.

WASHINGTON — Crossroads GPS, a spinoff of a group founded by Karl Rove — the conservative strategist Democrats despise — is running an ad ripping Rep. Brad Schneider, D-Ill., for opposing the repeal of Obamacare, a message potentially hindering the comeback bid of former Rep. Bob Dold, R-Ill.
I hear the Dold team — seeking to portray Dold as an independent-minded moderate Republican — was not pleased with the Crossroads Grassroots Policy Strategies ad.
Crossroads GPS is sinking a whopping $640,000 into a cable buy for a spot or spots running since last Sunday through Sept. 3 in a bid to bolster Dold in the north suburban 10th Congressional District contest.
The Crossroads ad now in play may be more of a headache than help to Dold, in a rematch after Schneider narrowly defeated him in 2012. President Barack Obama won the district with 58 percent of the vote in 2012. Obamacare by no means is a pejorative in this Obama-friendly district.
So why go there? Repealing Obamacare is a priority of Crossroads GPS.
The Schneider campaign is fundraising off of the Rove connection.
“No one fires up donors on our side like Karl Rove,” a Democratic operative told me.
Paul Lindsay, the communications director for Crossroads GPS told me, “Even in the president’s home state, the Affordable Care Act is causing angst among families who are seeing Medicare benefits cut, health insurance premiums rise, and government spending spiral out of control.”
So let’s go to the ad. It opens with an announcer saying, “Shouldn’t we repeal Obamacare?”
An anti-Obamacare push may energize segments of the GOP base in the district, and turning out the vote is crucial for Dold. Schneider won with only 50.63 percent of the vote — or 3,326 votes — and he will not have Obama at the top of the ticket in 2014.
Through the years, the GOP-controlled House leadership routinely called anti-Obamacare measures up for votes.
But the last thing Dold wants is to give Schneider an opening to portray him as a go-along Republican vote, which this ad does, by inference. No wonder the Dold team was annoyed with this ad.
The Schneider campaign has been hitting Dold for his more than two dozen votes to repeal or defund Obamacare when he was in the House. Dold’s position at present, however, is to “fix,” not repeal, the Affordable Care Act.
Any repeal vote at this point is just symbolic. Obama will veto any repeal measure, even if the Republicans take the Senate in November.
Next, the announcer says, “It comes with a hefty price tag. A price tag Congressman Brad Schneider voted to keep. Just here in Chicago and Cook County we’re faced with a $67 million shortfall.”
Yikes! Crossroads needs a map.
There is no part of Chicago in Illinois 10. And in 2012, Cook County voters accounted for just 22.5 percent of the ballots cast in the congressional race. Why even go there? Cook County financial woes are so not an Illinois 10 issue.
In any case, the $67 million is a reference to a shortfall projected last June for the entire Cook County health care system, which takes in more than CountyCare, the local Obamacare program. Since then, according to Karen Vaughan, the press secretary for Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, the county is “now projecting a balanced year-end budget.”
The spot concludes: “Schneider’s vote to keep Obamacare will cost taxpayers $2 trillion dollars . . . drive up health insurance premiums and deductibles and cause local businesses to cut back workers’ hours from full time to part time. Tell Brad Schneider Obamacare’s price tag — it’s just too much. Repeal it.”
A March 2014 estimate from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office pegged the net cost of the Affordable Health Care Act at $1.5 trillion but that’s over years — between 2015 and 2024. Half a trillion isn’t pocket change.
Dold campaign manager James Slepian told me, “Given that this race is viewed as one of the most competitive in the nation, no one is surprised to see outside advocacy groups from across the political spectrum airing ads on the issues they care about most — something campaigns don’t control — but Bob Dold remains laser-focused in his resolve to get to Congress to pursue bipartisan solutions that boost the economy, bring badly needed jobs back to Illinois and make health care work for everyone.”
Schneider campaign manager Jamie Patton told me, “Dold was a reliable vote for Republicans on issue after issue especially voting 28 times to repeal, defund or dismantle Obamacare and no matter how much money right-wing groups try to pour into TV ads, people don’t want to put the insurance companies back in charge.”
There is a worthy debate over Obamacare-related higher costs and the impact of the health care law on business hiring. Mending Obamacare, however, is much different from a highly partisan GOP message to repeal. | <urn:uuid:3e6ac999-503e-43ad-a5ec-95714593a4ee> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/2014/8/21/18587555/rove-related-group-jumps-in-schneider-dold-race-in-10th-district | 2023-09-28T18:16:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.940496 | 1,089 |
By Qian Gang — I often urge my friends and colleagues in Hong Kong to come to grips with the paradoxical pattern of “step, standstill and back-step” (进步/止步/退步) that characterizes China’s development today. I try to explain how China does not lend itself to simple labels like “free” or “unfree.” As we broach this now exceptionally sticky question of Internet freedom in China, I encourage readers to step back and take the same vantage point.
On January 24, a spokesperson from the State Council Information Office asserted, among other things, that “the achievements of China’s Internet have drawn worldwide attention,” and that “China protects online freedom of expression in accord with the law.”
The spokesperson said in support of these statements that, “China now has more than one million online forums, and more than 200 million blogs, with Web users making more than four million blog posts each day, and new posts to various chat forums each day too numerous even to count.”
And yet, as hundreds of millions of Web users have borne witness, many forums and blogs have also been shut down completely. Countless blog entries have been swiped clean from China’s Internet, and postings in response to news stories, or gentie (跟贴), are obliterated in great numbers every passing moment.
Is the Information Office spokesperson completely in the dark about these practices?
Conversely, it is impossible to support the assertion that China’s Internet is a bleak and sunless place where no word or thought can grab hold.
In recent years, more and more news facts have been broken first by Internet users. More and more corrupt officials live in dread of the “human flesh searches,” in which Internet users dig out and display their dirty deeds before national audiences of netizens. It is also true that the Internet has enabled the distribution of bolder writings by more and more people inside China.
So, can we say that China’s Internet is controlled, or not? What sort of control are we talking about?
Internet controls, in fact, are something every Internet user in China experiences and understands on a very intimate level. And the statement on Internet freedoms issued by the Information Office can itself be taken as an example of how control works.
What we call the “long tail phenomenon” (长尾现象) can be seen as one of the defining characteristics of China’s Internet. The “long tail” refers to the chain of Web user comments and discussion that trails after online news stories. These can be exceptionally long tails. In fact, some news stories on major Internet portals can draw hundreds of thousands of comments, the plainest illustration of how enthusiastic Chinese feel about the right and the opportunity to speak their minds.
Obviously, the recent statement from the Information Office on the topic of Internet freedom, an online story that was billed at the top of most major news portals in China for two straight days earlier this week, was guaranteed to draw the attention of Chinese Internet users. And this is also a topic we can expect to generate strong feelings and opinions.
But when I searched through ten of China’s most high-traffic news portals on January 28, I discovered that four sites had no comments posted whatsoever.
At China’s two leading official news sites, People’s Daily Online and Xinhua Online, there were very few comments. Sina.com, one of China’s biggest commercial Internet portals, indicated 373 comments, but only one page could be viewed — and all the comments visible were denunciations of Google and the United States.
If, as the Information Office spokesperson said, “Chinese web users can fully express their views within the scope permitted by the law,” this is certainly a most unexpected outcome.
Are we to believe this is a faithful reflection of Chinese public opinion?
It has long been rumored that China has vast teams of “50-cent Party” members working online for the party and government, who are paid for making posts that favor the interests of the CCP, but these claims have been difficult to clearly substantiate.
On January 19, Lanzhou’s Western Business Post (西部商报) reported that Gansu province had decided to build a team of 650 online commentators, the official term for these “50-centers.”
The report read:
Online commentators will regularly visit Websites, bulletin-board sites (BBS), blogs, etcetera, in order to understand the information circulating online and make timely posts on hot-button issues receiving concern from Web users, in order to correctly channel public opinion in society.
This news story from the Western Business Post marks the first time ever that that the work of the “50-centers” has made a formal, official debut in the news, and a number of Websites quickly picked up the story. Before long, however, the story was expunged from the Internet.
The secret is now out of the bag, and the deletion of the Western Business Post story should make plain to everyone exactly what Internet control with Chinese characteristics entails.
The Information Office spokesperson’s insistence that the figures for the rapid growth of Web users and Websites in China sufficiently illustrate the correctness of the government’s policies and practices on Internet control, that they indicate that Internet freedoms are protected in China, is unconvincing.
The rapid development of the Internet in China is principally the result of strength of information technologies themselves. The Internet presents us with all sorts of possibilities — not just freedom of expression. It encompasses the media, and yet is not equivalent to the media. It serves at the same time as both a public instrument and a tool for personal use.
In China, the Internet and other new technologies are political double-edged swords, allowing citizens to resist silence and fight despotism, and at the same time assisting the political leadership in its own objectives (one example being the recent building of a massive mobile phone messaging network by which CCP policies and directives can be quickly filtered down through the bureaucracy).
The Internet will remain a market of immense potential in China, and investors, whether public or private, will head there with the hope of striking it big. In fact, Chinese leaders both love and hate, spurn and desire, the Internet. From time to time, more moderate officials will express their goodwill toward Internet users, resulting in patches of occasional openness.
A number of overlapping factors have made for what some have seen as dazzling changes in China’s Internet. More than 384 million users, and 3.68 million sites — certainly, these are achievements of China’s Internet.
But can we chalk these up as achievements of our leaders?
What is more, the most important factor in the expansion of online freedoms has been China’s citizens themselves, who have not set aside their constitutionally guaranteed right to freedom of expression. Every moment they fight to make their voices heard, and they pay the price. These are spaces we push into and hold, little by little, not spaces granted to us by the leadership.
China’s Internet is a chaotic space. There are times when controls are more strict, and other times when controls momentarily relax. Some places in China are controlled more tightly by local party leaders, while others are more open.
The only true constant is the government’s determination to exercise control. And the government does not merely control, as the Information Office spokesperson said, information that is “subversive,” “destructive” or “seditious.”
Most of the content routinely “harmonized” — as the process of censorship has come to be referred by Internet users — are observations or remarks about party leaders, angry protestations about corrupt officials, or discussions about the necessary direction of political reform, things of that nature . . .
In most places outside China, including here in Hong Kong, this sort of content is protected by the law. According to internationally accepted norms, they fall into the category of freedom of expression.
China’s control of the Internet is swimming against world trends. It is not open. It is not transparent. And it is still a great distance from “rule of law.”
We should also take note of the fact that Chinese leaders are not only resolutely defending the Internet. Over the last two years, they have adjusted their tactics, and applied national capital to launch a strategic offensive in the Internet realm.
A good friend of mine formerly served as editor-in-chief of a well-known Internet portal in China. About six months ago, he resigned from his position. In a letter, he wrote:
What I feel most sad and dispirited about is that China’s Internet is being rapidly transformed into an internal network. That the global Internet and overseas sites are being blocked goes without saying. But their strategy of nationalizing the Internet is already going ahead with full force. [They] use the charge of low-brow or indecent [content] to blacken the name of commercial Internet sites. They use the specter of Internet addiction to demonize the Web itself. They squeeze out small and medium-sized sites by restricting domain registration and filing requirements. Finally, they use the financial might of state assets to promote national Internet TV and Xinhua News Agency video content. And what’s more, they won’t stop there. In the future they will use state-owned search engines, state-owned real-time communications and online games, etc. Any Internet product that is of a media nature will be gradually nationalized and monopolized.
This state of affairs for China’s Internet is not an isolated occurrence. It is an inevitable byproduct of the swelling and expansion of state capitalism, and the progressive deepening of the monopolization of politics, the economy, society and culture.
Internet freedoms are a microprint of civil rights in China. Will we be able to hold on to the small freedom that we have claimed for our own to this point? How much more freedom will we be able to claim in the future?
We must all watch closely.

Last Friday morning, Booker Prize-winning author Salman Rushdie was flown to UPMC Hamot, in Erie, Pennsylvania, after being attacked on the Amphitheater stage, where he was set to deliver a presentation with Henry Reese, director of Pittsburgh’s City of Asylum.
A man, who has been identified as Hadi Matar, 24, of Fairview, New Jersey, ran on stage and stabbed Rushdie between 10 and 15 times, according to the Associated Press.
Rushdie, who underwent surgery at UPMC Hamot, was placed on a ventilator Friday and sustained serious injuries. The New York Times reported Sunday morning that he had been removed from the ventilator, citing his agent, Andrew Wylie.
“The road to recovery has begun,” Wylie told The New York Times in a text. “It will be long; the injuries are severe, but his condition is headed in the right direction.”
According to Wylie and The New York Times, Rushdie’s liver and the nerves in his arm were damaged, and he might lose an eye. Reese obtained a minor head injury and was released from the hospital Friday.
Matar was charged with second-degree attempted murder and assualt in the second degree. He was arraigned on Saturday and remanded without bail, according to the Chautauqua County District Attorney’s Office. Matar pleaded not guilty, and is being held in the Chautauqua County Jail.
Following Rushdie’s attack, the Institution has implemented a “no bags” policy in the Amp and all indoor venues, including Bratton Theater, Norton Hall, Elizabeth S. Lenna Hall, Fletcher Music Hall and Hall of Christ. Small clutches, wristlets and fanny packs smaller than 4.5”x6.5.” are allowed. All other bags must be left in housing or vehicles. | <urn:uuid:cb24cc80-f479-4fe3-8d00-359be856d3bf> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://chqdaily.com/2022/08/rushdie-off-ventilator-n-j-man-charged/ | 2023-09-28T18:21:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.975228 | 406 |

How to transition your winter wardrobe into spring. I can’t believe how time flies! I feel like it was just Christmas and now we are in March. It’s getting warm here and I am sure that it’s still cold in many places. Therefore, a “spring” wardrobe will be different from a summer one in locations with seasons. I wrote a post awhile back on how to transition your summer wardrobe into fall and you seemed to enjoy it!
As a Floridian, we don’t have seasons. It’s just hot and hotter. I would love to live somewhere where there are true seasons. One can dream! However, so many people have told me how lucky I am to live in the Sunshine State. The grass is always greener, right?
There are a couple of takeaways I learned when I lived up North. Don’t worry you aren’t taking advice from someone who has only lived in a warm climate lol!
A few tips on how to transition your winter wardrobe into spring
Cardigans and light jackets will be your best friend! It is usually cold in the morning and night-time and is warm in the afternoon. I love bringing a medium to large bag with me so that I can easily throw my jacket into my bag when it’s warm. You can also wrap your cardigan around your waist. This pink coat is lightweight and is perfect for Spring. It’s reversible with puffy material on one side and the fluffy material on the other. It comes in a ton of colors and is currently on sale! It also comes in a shorter version and is available in pink.
Focus on Colors. In the Fall, I like to focus on camel and crimson. While in the spring, pink and white are beautiful colors to purchase for your wardrobe. A pink sweater will keep you warm but will also say “hey, it’s springtime!” Colors are really what help us transition from one season to the next.
Espadrilles, booties, and wedges. As much as I love my OTK boots I am excited to wear my other shoes. In the spring if it’s warm enough you can pull out your wedges. However, the bootie and espadrille are the perfect shoe for that in-between weather. It keeps your feet covered from the climate but doesn’t feel like winter. Booties and espadrilles give the Spring look but also protect your feet. I also love espadrilles and open-toed booties for my Florida and California girls. They aren’t too heavy on those warm days.
Get the look: Outfit Details

LOVE them!) | Chanel espadrilles (Size UP, they run very small and no half sizes. Wearing 37.) | Louis Vuitton belt (wearing xs)| YSL monogram bag

Returning from an extended international vacation a few days ago didn’t give me much time to whip up a recipe for today’s post, so I’m recycling three taco recipes just in time for Cinco de Mayo. I understand that the Mexican’s consider May 5th a minor holiday and that the celebration is more popular in the U.S. If you don’t celebrate Cinco de Mayo, that’s okay because I can find any good reason to drink margaritas and eat tacos, and I’ll bet you can too!
The first taco recipe is vegetarian Cinco Black Bean Tacos. These are great tacos if you want to skip the beef. There’s also a great recipe in that post for Mexican Green Juice if you know and like it, and are not a fan of margaritas.
Taco salad in its own tortilla shell is a festive way to serve and eat your taco. Ingredients can be beef, chicken and/or beans along with salad fixings of your choice. I make and use these tortilla shells when we have guests and I’m doing a taco bar. Everyone loves them because they can make their own bowl full of taco goodness.
Prime rib tacos with avocado horseradish sauce are the Cadillac of tacos as far as I’m concerned. First, you are making them with prime rib – a choice cut of meat. Second, you are topping the taco with an avocado sauce that has a bite from horseradish, lemon juice, and cilantro. OMG it’s so delicious!
BONUS TIP: I make mini taco bowls with small corn tortillas that are great for appetizers or small plate meals with the same forms I use for the larger taco bowls. You can find the forms at Bed, Bath or Amazon. | <urn:uuid:9afc9c98-78ed-444e-b776-3d17cd216242> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://christinasfoodandtravel.com/taco-tuesday-times-three/ | 2023-09-28T17:15:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.934127 | 384 |
The village of Oswego, in partnership with The Conservation Foundation, is selling rain barrels.
Rain barrels are large containers that capture stormwater from your roof that would otherwise be lost as runoff. Modern barrels are sealed, safe around children, and insect resistant.
Users divert water from your downspout to fill the rain barrel. A hose spigot on the front makes the water easy to access and use. Per the Conservation Foundation, approximately 40 percent of total household water use during the summer months is for watering lawns and gardens.
Rainwater is a sustainable solution for watering flowers and gardens, or washing cars and windows.
Residents should place their orders before April 18. Rain barrels will cost $60 and can be ordered through the Conservation Foundation’s website at http://www.upcycle-products.com/static.asp?path=4387.
When ordering, select the village of Oswego order form on the right sidebar and choose to deliver the barrel to your home for an additional $5, or choose municipal pick up for no additional charge.
Orders placed prior to April 18 for municipal pick up are to be collected at the Environmentally Conscious Oswego (ECO) commission’s Reuse and Recycle Extravaganza from 8 a .m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 23 at the Village of Oswego Public Works Facility, located at 100 Theodore Drive.
Rain barrels should be collected from this facility prior to 2 p.m. on April 23.
Rain barrels may be ordered for home delivery from now until Christmas.
For more information, contact Aaron Howe at (630) 551.2343 or by email at email@example.com.

The undersigned organizations express their deep condemnation of the escalating police campaign targeting dozens of activists through prosecution and detention that took place last month, the last episode of which was breaking into the house of the ex-wife of leftist journalist Ibrahim el-Sahary, which constitutes the return of the unpleasant “Dawn Visitors” phenomenon that was widespread during the reign of ousted dictator Mubarak.
This police campaign included the arrest of Sayed Mohammed al-Sayed, known as “Sayed Kabu,” and Karim Ahmed Yusuf, known as “Karim Batshan,” on charges of publishing false news in order to cast doubt on the performance of the regime and eliciting to it, cast doubt on the integrity of the judiciary, inciting citizens to demonstrate, protest and disobedience, and publishing pictures insulting the person and the position of the president, against the backdrop of posts on the social networking website Facebook.
Activists “Mustafa al-Jales” and “Mustafa Abdullah Shakra” were arrested on Tuesday morning in Qena, just one day before the arrest of “Andrew Nasif” at dawn on Wednesday in Al Sharqiya.
The police campaign reached its peak in May with a major escalation against political activists, especially against the youth, starting with Nayel Hassan, Islam al-Hadari, al-Shazly Hussein and Ahmed Ibrahim, who were all charged by the authorities in Alexandria with joining a terrorist group to overthrow the state, promoting terrorism directly and indirectly to commit a terrorist act and using a website to promote the criticisms and ideologies of terrorist groups to overthrow the state and the regime, the same list of charges leveled against Ashraf Abu Helw, a former spokesman for the people of the Tusun area, who got arrested a few days ago in Alexandria.
The list of victims of this campaign includes Ahmed al-Hefni, a member of the al-Dostour Party in Port Said, who was detained by National Security Forces for a period before being brought before the prosecution, which in turn referred him to an urgent trial before Port Said Misdemeanors Court for insulting the president, misusing social networking websites and belonging to an unlawful group.
Such accusations came against the background of a proposal submitted to the Parliament by the head of the National Defense and Security Committee, Kamel Amer, to amend some articles of the Penal Code to aggravate the penalty for insulting the president to be from one day to three years prison sentence and a fine ranging from 50 thousand EGP to 200 thousand EGP.
While Mohamed Walid, a member of the Bread and Freedom Party in Suez, was taken by the police to the National Security headquarters, the list of charges against him represent a blatant example of targeting young people, the use of law in pursuing opponents and the hostility towards social networks’ users.
The list of accusations included “sedition” , spreading rumors on social networking websites that could lead to false rumors against state institutions, the army, the police and the judiciary, promoting false rumors about the economy in an attempt to inflame citizens’ feelings, revive their revolutionary spirit, seeking to attract youth to carry out hostile operations targeting government and police facilities, targeting the army using homemade firearms and Molotov cocktails in perpetration for hostilities, stirring up the public, and shaping public opinion by force to put pressure on the regime under the pretext of its inability to provide the security and services necessary for citizens and the disruption of their interests and seek to stir up sectarian strife between the two pillars of the nation, he was released on bail today, Thursday morning.
All of these charges were based on posts on Walid’s Facebook account, including the following: “I am neither pro-Mubarak nor do I belong to the Muslim Brotherhood, I just want to live as a human being” and the slogan “Down with the military rule” in addition to the slogan of the Bread and Freedom Party.
Walid’s arrest came days after the arrest of Gamal Abdul Hakim, a student and a member of the same party in Al Sharqiya, he is a student at the Faculty of Commerce in Zagazig, the prosecution decided to detain him for 15 days pending investigation on a list of charges, including promotion in speech and writing to overthrow the regime and the disruption of institutions and using social networking tools to promote the ideas of a terrorist group. Moreover, security officers broke into the house of engineer Essam al-Mahdi, terrorized his wife and children, and kidnapped him.
The last episode of this campaign was the arrest of Ahmad Fathi, a member of the Bread and Freedom Party (under construction) from his home in Minya at dawn, and his whereabouts remain unknown till now.
The undersigned organizations, as they condemn what is happening to democratic advocates, activists and members of youth parties and movements, confirm that those responsible for such crimes will not have impunity and their crimes will not be subject to a statute of limitations and all those involved will be persecuted sooner or later. The organizations call on all civil society and political parties to stand up against attempts to spread a climate of fear and against establishing a police state through violating the law and using it to support the police state.

Jipocar plans to build a 40-metre high hall in a logistics centre near Jihlava
Jipocar Logistic is preparing the construction of a 40-metre high warehouse in a logistics centre near Střítež in the Jihlava region. The plan was published today in the EIA information system and the authorities are starting to assess its environmental impact. The logistics centre is next to the main road between Jihlava and Havlíčkův Brod and close to the exit and on-ramp to the 112th kilometre of the D1 motorway. Construction of another hall could start next year, according to the plan.
The plan also includes a landscape impact assessment. The planned hall will be taller than the existing ones, which measure no more than 15 metres. Authorities, municipalities and the public can comment on the plan within 30 days, the county's environment department said in a notice of intent.
The new 7,065-square-metre warehouse will be located between the current buildings D and E, partially encroaching on them. It will be built on land that is now used as a paved and handling area, with a smaller part of it being green space. The new warehouse will serve a local manufacturer of automotive components so that it does not have to rent external warehouses in other locations.
The company Jipocar Logistic, Ltd, which is the announcer of the project called J-project, belongs to the Jipocar Group, according to the annual report published in the Collection of Deeds. The group's principal activities are international freight forwarding, forwarding, road transport, warehousing and logistics services. Jipocar Logistic is engaged in logistics services and warehousing of goods. In the annual financial year ended March 31, 2022, the company had revenue from sales of products and services of CZK 775.5 million and 675 employees. | <urn:uuid:82523ddc-7dce-4358-84eb-8cb8f07fb991> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://cijeurope.com/en/jipocar-plans-to-build-a-40-metre-high-hall-in-a-logistics-centre-near-jihlava/post.html | 2023-09-28T17:49:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.963176 | 408 |
