Politics of England on the
|Politics of London|
The Greater London Authority (GLA), colloquially known by the metonym "City Hall", is the devolved regional governance body of Greater London, England. It consists of two political branches: the executive Mayoralty (currently led by Sadiq Khan) and the 25-member London Assembly, which serves as a means of checks and balances on the former. Since May 2016, both branches have been under the control of the London Labour Party. The authority was established in 2000, following a local referendum, and derives most of its powers from the Greater London Authority Act 1999 and the Greater London Authority Act 2007.
It is a strategic regional authority, with powers over transport, policing, economic development, and fire and emergency planning. Three functional bodies—Transport for London, the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime, and the London Fire Commissioner—are responsible for delivery of services in these areas. The planning policies of the Mayor of London are detailed in a statutory London Plan that is regularly updated and published.
The Greater London Authority is mostly funded by direct government grant and it is also a precepting authority, with some money collected with local Council Tax. The GLA is unique in the British devolved and local government system, in terms of structure (it uses a presidential system-esque model), elections and selection of powers. The authority was established to replace a range of joint boards and quangos and provided an elected upper tier of local government in Greater London for the first time since the abolition of the Greater London Council in 1986.
The GLA is responsible for the strategic administration of the 1579 km2 (610 sq. miles) of Greater London. It shares local government powers with the councils of 32 London boroughs and the City of London Corporation. It was created to improve the co-ordination between the local authorities in Greater London, and the Mayor of London's role is to give London a single person to represent it. The Mayor proposes policy and the GLA's budget, and makes appointments to the capital's strategic executive such as Transport for London. The primary purpose of the London Assembly is to hold the Mayor of London to account by scrutiny of his or her actions and decisions. The assembly must also accept or amend the mayor's budget on an annual basis. The GLA is based at City Hall in the London Borough of Newham, situated next to the redeveloped Royal Victoria Dock in Canning Town. The GLA moved to this building from the previous City Hall, in Southwark, in January 2022.
The GLA is different from the corporation of the City of London with its largely ceremonial lord mayors, which controls only the square mile of the city, London's chief financial centre.
In 1986, the Greater London Council was abolished by the Conservative government of Margaret Thatcher. Many people have surmised that the decision to abolish the GLC was made because of the existence of a high-spending left-wing Labour administration under Ken Livingstone, although pressure for the abolition of the GLC had arisen before Livingstone took over, and was largely driven by the belief among the outer London borough councils that they could perform the functions of the GLC just as well.
On abolition, the strategic functions of the GLC were transferred to bodies controlled by central government or joint boards nominated by the London borough councils. Some of the service delivery functions were transferred down to the councils themselves. For the next 14 years there was no single elected body for the whole of London. The Labour Party never supported the abolition of the GLC and made it a policy to re-establish some form of citywide elected authority.
The Labour party adopted a policy of a single, directly elected mayor (a policy first suggested by Tony Banks in 1990), together with an elected assembly watching over the mayor; this model, based on the mayor–council government of many American cities, was partly aimed at making sure the new body resembled the erstwhile GLC as little as possible. After the Labour party won the 1997 general election, the policy was outlined in a white paper entitled A Mayor and Assembly for London (March 1998).
Simultaneously with the elections to the London Borough councils, a referendum was held on the establishment of the GLA in May 1998, which was approved with 72% of the vote. The Greater London Authority Act 1999 passed through Parliament, receiving royal assent in October 1999. In a controversial election campaign, the then prime minister, Tony Blair, attempted to block Livingstone's nomination and imposed his own candidate. In reaction, Livingstone stood as an independent candidate, resulting in his expulsion from the Labour Party and in March 2000, was elected as Mayor of London. Following an interim period in which the mayor and assembly had been elected but had no powers, the GLA was formally established on 3 July 2000.
For the first two years of its existence, the Greater London Authority was based at Romney House, 47 Marsham Street in Westminster. Meetings of the London Assembly took place at Emmanuel Centre, also on Marsham Street.
Between July 2002 and December 2021, the Greater London Authority was based at a building known as City Hall in Southwark, on the banks of the River Thames, close to Tower Bridge. City Hall was designed by Norman Foster and constructed at a cost of £43 million on a site formerly occupied by wharves serving the Pool of London. This building did not belong to the GLA but was leased under a 25-year rental agreement from the Kuwait Investment Authority.
In November 2020, Mayor of London Sadiq Khan announced plans to vacate City Hall at the end of 2021 and relocate to The Crystal in the Canning Town area of East London. The Crystal building is owned by the Greater London Authority and is currently under-occupied. City Hall was not owned by the authority itself and the proposed move would save the Greater London Authority £12.6 million a year in rental costs. The decision was confirmed on 3 November 2020. Newham Borough Council gave permission for a change of use for the building in December 2020. The authority vacated City Hall on 2 December 2021 and the move is due to completed in the first week of January 2022. The Crystal was renamed "City Hall" in December 2021.
In addition to City Hall, staff of the Greater London Authority are also based at Palestra House on Blackfriars Road and at the London Fire Brigade headquarters on Union Street, both in Southwark.
The predecessors of the Greater London Authority, the Greater London Council and the London County Council, had their headquarters at County Hall, upstream on the South Bank. Although County Hall's old council chamber is still intact, the building is unavailable for use by the GLA because of its conversion into, among other things, a luxury hotel, amusement arcade and aquarium.
Areas which the GLA has responsibility for include transport, policing, fire and rescue, development and strategic planning. The GLA does not directly provide any services itself. Instead, its work is carried out by functional bodies which, together with the GLA itself, form the GLA Group and work under the policy direction of the mayor and assembly. These functional bodies (defined in section 424 (1) of the Greater London Authority Act 1999) are:
In November 2005, the government published a consultation document reviewing the powers of the GLA, making proposals for additional powers, including waste management, planning, housing, and learning and skills. The result of the consultation and final proposals were published by the Department for Communities and Local Government on 13 July 2006.
A range of back office services for the GLA and its functional bodies are provided collectively by the GLA Group using the common provision powers of section 401A of the 1999 Act. The most senior member of staff within the GLA Group in the GLA Head of Paid Service.
The GLA is responsible for co-ordinating land use planning in Greater London. The mayor produces a strategic plan, the "London Plan". The individual London Borough councils are legally bound to comply with the plan. The mayor has the power to over-ride planning decisions made by the London Boroughs if they are believed to be against the interests of London as a whole.
As of 2006, London generates 42 million tonnes of carbon emissions per year, 7% of the UK's total. 44% of this comes from housing, 28% from commercial premises, 21% from transport, and 7% from industry.
The Mayor's energy strategy planned to cut carbon emission levels by 20% by 2010 and 60% by 2050 (although achieving the first of these targets is unlikely).[needs update] Measures taken to achieve this have included the creation of the London Climate Change Agency, the London Energy Partnership and the founding of the international Large Cities Climate Leadership Group.
The London Sustainable Development Commission has calculated that for housing to meet the 60% target, all new developments would have to be constructed to be carbon-neutral with immediate effect (using zero energy building techniques), in addition to cutting energy used in existing housing by 40%.

After the 2021 elections, Labour has the largest representation on the GLA with the mayor as well as eleven assembly members, followed by nine from the Conservatives, three Greens, and two from the Liberal Democrats.

My entry into nature photography evolved from the tragic loss of my son, Jordan Hans Heusinkveld. On our way to Iowa City, a careless driver struck us head-on, killing Jordan upon impact. I nearly bled to death on the highway. This loss of blood changed my life forever.
Over time, it became apparent that my memory was impaired and that subtle behavioral changes were occurring. I became unable to work as a behavior disorders teacher. I also felt profound grief over the loss of Jordan Hans.
I’ve coped with these issues by immersing myself in nature photography. I’ve found solace, relief and peace by photographing beautiful landscapes.
I especially enjoy taking pictures in the Amana colony, and its 25,000 acres of forests and farmland.
I also spend time taking pictures at my cabin in Voyager’s National Park in northern Minnesota.
My mother, photographer Joan Liffring-Zug-Bourret, has been especially helpful in launching my career in photography. She’s provided me with cameras and feedback on my photographs. My dear wife, Carol Roemig-Heusinkveld, has also assisted me in my photographic endeavors. She’s been extremely patient and understanding of my quirks and needs.
I’m forever indebted to these two ladies.
David B. Heusinkveld

DC Families for Safe Streets is committed to the principle that Black Lives Matter and the long fight to eradicate systematic racism and implicit bias on our streets. In 2019, half of DC’s fatal traffic violence victims died while traveling in historically Black neighborhoods east of the Anacostia River in Wards 7 and 8. This is despite the fact that residents of these Wards compromise 22% of the District’s population. To combat this inexcusable road safety inequity, DC-FSS will listen, partner, and fiercely pursue anti-racist policy solutions to end traffic violence without creating additional harm, especially to our Black and brown neighbors. All travelers, regardless of race, gender, sexuality, age, ability, and income level deserve respect and safety in our public spaces.
DC-FSS is a chapter of the national Families for Safe Streets organization and a sponsored project of the Washington Area Bicyclist Association. We work with leadership and staff from both organizations in carrying out our mission. We commit to actively listen and act in service to the needs of all District residents to ensure our work is anti-racist and uses the levers available to us to dismantle the white privilege and systematic racism that pervades our streets. | <urn:uuid:84778ba7-273d-4ec8-b2f5-0aee135809c4> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://dcfamiliesforsafestreets.org/2020/06/26/black-lives-matter/ | 2023-09-28T17:48:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.916884 | 248 |
For the last ten years or so, we’ve seen a resurgence in the zombie horror genre. Starting with Zack Snyder’s bold remake of George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead, the nerd world and beyond has been gobbling up stories, movies, television shows, video games, and other forms of entertainment all having to do with the latest pastime: dealing with a zombie apocalypse. Hell, even Brad Pitt got in on the fun with his filmed adaptation of Max Brooks’ World War Z. All too often, those portions of entertainment deal with the violent side of the zombie uprising and the things one would do in order to survive it, leaving us to watch gory morality tales that only make us want to watch a more inventive zombie kill or the unlucky human that’s about to become the zombies’ lunch.
Enter Maggie, which can be summed up best as “a slice of how middle America deals with a loved one who’s been bitten by a zombie.” It can also be looked at as a thinly-veiled allegory as to how we reacted to AIDS patients in the 1980s, and it’s not hard to do so. Whichever way you view it, Maggie is an extremely thoughtful and matter-of-fact film that doesn’t bother with gore or nasty special effects. Instead, we watch as Wade Vogel (Arnold Schwarzenegger) tries to make the remaining time he has with his infected daughter Maggie (Abigail Breslin) tolerable, at the very least.
It seems that no one else but Wade wants anything to do with Maggie. The local law enforcement officers (J.D. Evermore, Douglas M. Griffin) want to get her to quarantine before she infects anyone else, the compassionate doctor (Jodie Moore) insists that a bullet would be better than what Maggie would receive in quarantine, and Wade’s wife Caroline (Joely Richardson) takes a kind of passive/aggressive stance of avoidance toward her stepdaughter.
John Scott 3’s touching script takes us through Maggie’s final days as a human, chronicling the changes the Necroambulist Virus has wrought upon Maggie and taking us through each step as the disease shuts her down. This wasn’t meant to be an action picture or a horror movie; it’s instead meant to be just an examination of a life affected by the ravages of disease. To hammer this point home, think about this – Arnold Schwarzenegger, king of the ‘80s action movie, is seen holding a shotgun in this movie, but you never see him fire it. Not once. It’s almost a direct contravention to his former cinematic persona, which tells me that we’re not watching a stereotypical zombie movie or one of his usual roles.
Instead, we see a family trying to hold on to some semblance of “normal” in this decidedly abnormal new world. Schwarzenegger’s muted, somber performance is a heartbreaker, showing plainly the weight of the struggle he faces: does he try to protect his daughter or the community at large? He does well at exhibiting the pains of a father having to make horrible decisions in a time that couldn’t be more horrific; this is a new side of the actor that I’m seeing, and his performance more than anchors this film wonderfully.
I applaud director Henry Hobson for eschewing the typical zombie trappings – gore, brains, blood, screaming and running – and giving us a quiet story about how this affects the heartland, not those in urban populations. He humanizes the epidemic, putting a face on something that, to me, never really had a face before. All my favorite zombie movies contain a lot of action and suspense, and yeah, I’ll admit to being a fan of the nasty special effects that are strewn about these movies like offal on a butcher’s floor. However, Hobson and Scott 3’s approach to the genre is a welcome one, giving us a film that takes its time for us to really see the effect of the zombie apocalypse and how it affects everyone in our microcosm. Maggie is a wonderful, thoughtful movie which, while it doesn’t pull its punches, is exactly what it needs to be: an emotionally charged story of a father’s love for his daughter.
And, y’know… zombies. | <urn:uuid:17bf9905-4715-4748-a4c0-8d27e09511b6> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://dcfilmdom.com/2015/05/maggie-eddies-review/ | 2023-09-28T17:28:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.955129 | 921 |
Embarrassing disclosure: I was under the impression Midnight Mass was a film, not a television show, which is why I requested to write about this. I don’t usually review TV shows, so this might throw you off a bit. (Truth be told, it’s throwing me off bit, too.) How do I have any kind of authority to talk about a TV show when 99% of my reviews on here are about feature films? (Note to self: Was Doc Warman [RIP, good sir] right about your attention span?)
Another disclosure: I have long appreciated Mike Flanagan and his voice. From Absentia through to this series, Midnight Mass, Flanagan has imbued his horror stories with a Stephen King-like richness in each story’s patois, an elegiac and somber tone highlighting the struggles of his characters, and the hazy path to redemption its heroes must take while learning to navigate their world and their strange circumstances. All of Flanagan’s films and TV shows are tinted by the supernatural (save Hush) and feature characters suffering from emotional or physical trauma, and much of each story’s spirit is found in the reconciling of the otherworldly with the damaged.
It’s as if Flanagan himself is searching for the “why” of human nature, reaching through a well-lit stage’s curtain into the darkness beyond, brushing against the specters of the evil that humans commit in a misguided pursuit of the divine or the perfect. These specters have grabbed his hand and guided him into places so familiar to us, with stories and personalities not far from those we experience every day. He evinces this horror through slow revelations, allowing his characters to take their time with us to give a full sense of who they are and what the narrative thrust – whether it’s a haunted house, a silent intruder, a cursed mirror, or a priest who brings miracles with him – will mean to each participant in the dance he so carefully choreographs.
With Midnight Mass, Flanagan is given seven episodes in which to cast his languid spell over us, doling out the horror by steps, not by leaps. A glimpse of a shadowy figure here, a ghostly pair of eyes there – it’s all we need to know that something’s not right on Crockett Island, home to a small-town fishing community replete with its own idiosyncrasies. But we’ll hold on the scary-type stuff for a second; the first few episodes seat us firmly alongside the island’s citizens, keeping the town’s lore simple with scant thimblefuls of exposition. Every conversation doesn’t just fill in a backstory; they’re meant to tell us who each character is, what they believe, and how they see their world.
Cinematographer Michael Fimognari’s long, unbroken takes of dialogue underscore Crockett Island’s claustrophobic surroundings, showing that no character has a way off without external help. The shack houses also emphasize the smallness of life in the community; there aren’t any McMansions, let alone any modern convenience, clothing, or electronic stores, reserved only for the unseen mainland. Not even Sheriff Hassan’s (Rahul Kohli) office has its own independence, his desk and the one-cell jail being located in the back of the island’s sole grocery store. Everyone’s on top of one another and there’s no avoiding anyone, whether it’s local drunk Joe Collie (Robert Longstreet), thunderingly judgmental church assistant Beverly Keane (Samantha Sloyan), or convict Riley Flynn (Zach Gilford), recently paroled after a horrible drunk-driving incident.
There aren’t any folks untouched by the falling fortunes of the island’s fishing industry (except for maybe one person), which also plays into how reliant the people are upon the one establishment on the island – St. Patrick’s Catholic Church – that seems to be the town’s only source of inspiration. It’s also a source of tension, as new priest Rev. Paul Hill (Hamish Linklater) has just arrived in town to replace the church’s aging pastor, convalescing after a trip to the Holy Land undertaken as a bucket list item to be crossed off before succumbing to the ravages of old age and dementia.
You’d think that Rev. Hill is going to be our audience proxy, the window through which we see this tiny microcosm. Instead, he becomes just as much of a cog in the wheels of Crockett Island as everyone else; we maintain his throughline while stories are spun around him in a community that starts to slowly change. It is the citizens reacting to his presence and the sudden onslaught of true miracles – some small and barely noticeable at first, some so large that they bring the “Chreasters” to church every day for morning mass – that makes up a lot of the horror of Midnight Mass. The exclusive proximity to seemingly God-ordained interventions almost brings a deluded selfishness to those closest to these occurrences, glorying in the light of self-righteousness while committing atrocities or turning a blind eye to them.
Midnight Mass isn’t so much about the supernatural as it is about the thing in our minds which rationalizes and makes peace with what’s happening to us in our darkest hours, molding our situations – and reality in general – to what we believe. It’s also an indictment on how we act upon this molded reality, our belief acting as a shield we think will protect us from outside influence or harm and give our voices the strength to be heard, whether our words are poisoned or not. The Flanagan-typical supernatural is there as both a horror to be dealt with and as a metaphor for the evil we allow because it’s on “our side.” We’ve seen a lot of that kind of thing in recent times, and Flanagan slyly injects his story with this telling reflection on the tribal protectionism that has inarguably split society nearly irreparably.
But there’s also the fight to do the truly right thing, even unto suffering and death, embodied by those who stand up in the face of evil when everyone around them is on a different page. Lest you think otherwise, Crockett Island isn’t just full of the spiritually corrupt or the morally flexible; there is valiance everywhere in people whose hearts are good and caring, even though our own preconceived notions might color them differently. Flanagan doesn’t seek to single out religion as a villain, nor mock it; instead, it is the mistakes we make and the people we hurt in the name of belief on trial here.
Midnight Mass is, quite simply, perfection. Its unshakable cast inhabits these roles with grace, gravitas, and sanctimoniousness that pushes us to extreme love or hate for them. As the near-Margaret White-esque Beverly, Samantha Sloyan creates a character so thickly laden with a false sense of moral and spiritual superiority, we absolutely accept that she cannot see past the ends of her own eyeballs with how full of herself she is. To Sloyan’s credit, she mines the best and the worst of the two-faced “religious” charlatans we see in the news every day and combines them to be Beverly, resulting in the most hate-worthy character in any medium.
Hamish Linklater likewise creates an impressive, enigmatic figure in Rev. Hill. He strikes the relaxed, yet anxious posture of a man who knows that he’s the leader of a flock and at eager to lend a hand with that knowledge. Linklater’s speaking tone and presence are that of the priests from my childhood, soft and encouraging but rising to a feverish yet laser-focused pitch when delivering the words he so needs his congregation to hear. Alternating between a haunted sadness and the courageousness required to lift the attendees at St. Patrick’s into the light, Linklater puts forth a performance that is, for lack of a better term, extraordinary. On every level.
These two are but small examples of the kind of ensemble Flanagan has chosen with pinpoint accuracy to fill our screens with the real. Every actor fills their role with purpose and integrity, bolstered by Fimognari’s specific framing choices. The offset tête-à-têtes between Riley and Rev. Hill aren’t offset just to look different; there’s meaning behind why Fimognari and Flanagan want us to see these conversations and others like it the way they want, each mise en scène staged for maximum effect, whether subliminal or overt. Flanagan, who also serves as editor, shows a wisdom in letting certain scenes go on at a hefty length, whether it’s a shoreline evaluation of a recent calamity or something as simple as watching Ed Flynn (Henry Thomas) walk away from the church’s rec hall.
The Newton Brothers’ plaintive score is a character in and of itself, pinning scenes with mournful solitude and drilling us with musical stings which serve their jolting purpose. It’s not an overwrought kind of score; it is surgically targeted, never overpowering a scene, becoming instead a participant with every note played. Music is an important part of church worship, and Sunday morning hymns are given a dual role, both to empower the churchgoers and to add a subtle, nuanced twist to a sequence’s intent.
Midnight Mass is a masterpiece in episodic television. It is a rare piece of art where every element – acting, cinematography, editing, music, writing, production and costume design, and every other above/below-the-line effort – is working in perfect concert. There are no missteps taken in any of this show’s seven episodes; it follows its own rules and entrenches us in this secluded world where the line between right and wrong is blurred by belief and prejudice. By self-importance and jealousy. By perverting the sacred for one’s own greedy ends. And by misguided belief in what we project to be the divine. Flanagan speaks with a very personal and pointed voice with Midnight Mass, a marvelous triumph and undoubtedly his best work yet. | <urn:uuid:6eb8842a-3e07-44d9-a89b-cc2644a2173b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://dcfilmdom.com/2021/09/midnight-mass-2021-tv-review/ | 2023-09-28T16:54:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.948373 | 2,190 |
According to the world it’s diet season! Everywhere you look, ads are pushing weight loss nutrition programs, quick fixes, and pills. Wouldn’t life be easier if we didn’t have to diet?
Exercising most days of the week and eating well should be a year round habit. How hard we work and how we view eating can have a massive impact on our relationship with ourselves and with food. Just thinking about “diet” can throw us into a scarcity mindset. This means that when given the opportunity to have something that’s off-limits, there’s no off switch. When we push it in the gym to lose weight, it often leads to over-training and the association of working out with punishment.
Let’s wipe the slate clean, and create a new and healthy normal. It’s possible with these tips!
By now, everyone is familiar with intermittent fasting. Time-restricted eating is a form of fasting, but it’s calibrated to your circadian rhythm. The idea is to eat more when you’re most active and begin fasting as you wind down for the evening. The body is primed to digest food and burn calories during the day – especially if you’re training. At night, the body shifts to rest, recovery, and sleep. Eating large amounts of food at night means that these calories are more easily stored as fat. The good thing about time-restricted eating is that is flexible. Adjust the eating window to suit your needs. I usually eat between 8am-5pm. This may sound like a short window for an athlete, but consider that it takes a few hours for a meal to be fully digested. This means that I’m not really fasting until about 8pm! Experiment with a 12-hour window at first, and adjust from there.
High intensity interval training twice per week can help with building muscle and losing fat. It has been shown to boost metabolism up to 48 hours after a session. Make sure you’re actually doing HIIT, and not interval training. HIIT is an “all out” effort for 4-8 sprints, with full recovery in between sprints. A sprint can be any exercise movement you’re able to go to max effort with. Some ideas are heavy sled pushes to the spin bike to the rower to the stairs! Get creative and have fun with it!
Is the gym punishment? Are you eating “diet” foods? If you’re looking at training and meal planning as drudgery, you will not be successful at staying lean. Begin to actively reframe your thoughts. You want to train, you want to fuel your body, and you make healthy choices most of the time – because you want to. You may not believe this at first, but keep actively reframing your thoughts. You’ll find that you begin to look forward to training, and you begin to make healthier food choices! Try this for two weeks, and you’ll be amazed at how much easier it is to stay on track!
Opt for exercises with greater bang for the buck. Big compound movements not only burn more calories, but they save time in the gym. Compound movements are exercises that engage multiple-joints and muscles groups. A squat, lunge, deadlift, pull-up, and pushup are all great examples of compound movements. Start most of your workouts with 2-3 compound movements. Push yourself for the first 20 minutes, and then finish with isolation or sculpting exercises. BetaTOR can help you get a few more quality minutes out of your heavy training. Compound movements also translate well to increasing power, speed, and helping tie muscle groups together aesthetically.
Raised cortisol levels can cause inflammation and fat gain around the waist. Do your best to manage stress levels year round. Some methods I like are getting outside for a walk or bike, meditation, massage, and writing out issues or concerns. Sleep can also help reduce cortisol levels. Cut down on afternoon caffeine, and shut off electronics at least an hour before bed. This will go a long way to improving your sleep. Try to get 7-8 hours, especially if you’re training hard!
With a little planning and work, you will feel healthier and be lean year round – and with less effort. Get started today! Thank you for reading! Until next time, train hard, y’all! | <urn:uuid:c5953b8a-b92c-470a-a895-3fbf808983d0> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://de.betator.com/news--events/5-tips-for-staying-lean--erin-stern | 2023-09-28T18:32:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.954473 | 927 |
The Gospel According to Matthew 6:1-6, 16-18
Jesus said to his disciples: “Take care not to perform righteous deeds in order that people may see them; otherwise, you will have no recompense from your heavenly Father. When you give alms, do not blow a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets to win the praise of others. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right is doing, so that your almsgiving may be secret. And your Father who sees in secret will repay you.
When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, who love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on street corners so that others may see them. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go to your inner room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will repay you.
When you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites. They neglect their appearance, so that they may appear to others to be fasting. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that you may not appear to others to be fasting, except to your Father who is hidden. And your Father who sees what is hidden will repay you.
Jesus’ words in this reading may give us ideas about how we should look within ourselves when doing something for others. Jesus warns his disciples not to do good deeds simply so others will think highly of them! Jesus wants his disciples to be aware of their motivation for what they do. He wants them to do what is right or good because they desire to help others, love others, and make the world a better place.
Jesus is not concerned primarily about the actions of his disciples. Rather, He is concerned about their motivations. Jesus hopes their actions and decisions will flow from love of God, love of the Gospel, love for the people and love for the world. Truly, love is all that matters.
How often do we stop and examine our motivations? It is easy to move through the day and simply go about our business. Are we concerned about others or are we too preoccupied even to notice the people around us? I believe that most people in the world want to be good. Most people do care for others and desire to help them.
Our motivations, however, are not always clean and pure. At times, do I choose to do something so the other person will think well of me? Do I go to church because that is where I want to be, or do I attend simply because I am supposed to? When I am tired, do I ignore someone who might need some help? If I am in a bad mood, do I take it out on other people?
I close with a quote from “Holy Moments” from Matthew Kelly… “If you only learn to master one moment in your life, learn to master the moment of decision…Life is choices. We are constantly making them. But are we choosing wisely? We are not born great decision makers. It is something that must be learned.”
I assume that all of us have made some of the choices listed above at times in our lives. However, if most of our time and attention is focused primarily on ourselves and our own needs, it might be a good idea to reflect on how we’ve learned to make our choices. Most often the source of our happiness is in the people in our lives. Hopefully, most of the people around us bring us joy and love. Yes, there will be difficult times. However, if love is present, difficulties can be worked out. In our daily life, it is their presence, love and care that is the greatest gift we can receive.
Action of the Day:
Today may we be mindful of our choices and decisions. We have heard the saying: “What would Jesus do?” Today we might experience a choice or challenge as we go about our day. May we pause for a moment and thoughtfully ask ourselves: What would Jesus do? Listen for Jesus’ answer. He will respond. | <urn:uuid:15a385b6-75d0-4293-b7ab-ff5efbd09771> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://deacon5.com/2023/06/21/daily-gospel-reflection-june-21st-2023/ | 2023-09-28T18:58:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.974933 | 899 |
No matter what happened in today’s Manchester City-Leicester City match, this brain-meltingly tight Premier League title race was going to come down to the final day of the season. But with the absolute screamer Vincent Kompany scored to give Man City the win today, the Citizens managed to put all five fingers of one hand on the trophy they plan on lifting on Sunday:
In case you were wondering just how rare a goal like that was:
This result puts Man City one point over Liverpool in the table with one match remaining in the season. With a win at Brighton this weekend, City win the title. Sunday can’t come soon enough. | <urn:uuid:3c987b72-17ca-4c30-9c03-8683edf6bcaa> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://deadspin.com/vincent-kompanys-pile-driver-goal-keeps-manchester-city-1834564023 | 2023-09-28T18:22:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.934748 | 139 |
Is the Phone Spying on Me?
Dear Ms. Smartphone: My Mom thinks that phones can spy on her and won’t use her iPhone for QR codes and other useful stuff. She says that the phone broadcasts her location and listens through the microphone. Her basic MO is that the phone is spying on her. But she leads a hum-drum life and I don’t see a reason for her to be so paranoid. I have gone through the settings on her phone and turned off the sharing features. Is there anything I can do to allay her concerns about privacy? Lam T.
Dear Lam T: Many people share your mother’s digital anxiety and a little cyber education might go a long way. She is correct, as many apps on the iPhone (and Android) phones have the potential to access the microphone and camera. But she also has the controls to manage this. They happen to be colorful too!
So, with cyber- education in mind, introduce your mother to the visual reminders that are native to her iPhone. The “color wheel” (as I call it) might give her confidence to know that she has opted out of sharing her camera and microphone, and more. She will see in real time if an app is accessing her information.
Green dots at the top of the iPhone screen, are tiny- but useful. They appear when the IPhone’s camera and/or microphone is being accessed. Tell her to look for a green dot the next time she takes a picture or scans a document. That includes using the camera for those growing number of QR codes. Recording videos also get a green dot, useful to know if you and Mom stay in touch through FaceTime or other video chatting apps. Of course, Mom could disable access to the camera or microphone, but then she would not be able to take pictures or use the video.
Orange dots appear at the top of the screen when the microphone is being used. Again, they are fairly innocuous and and easily overlooked. The orange dot shows up when you make a call, check voicemail, or use an app for voice chat.
More recently, iPhones have begun to show blue, green, and red oval shapes- found in the left top corner of the screen. These oval shapes are “status bars” with real-time information. The blue oval shape says that screen sharing is taking place- say if Mom is sharing a session with tech support. The blue oval also appears during screen mirroring, like sending photos to a TV screen, or if an app is using location services.
More colors: The red status bar indicates that the screen and or microphone are being recorded and the green status bar says simply, a voice call is being made, hence activating the microphone. It’s that simple: blue, red and green. Power users get a purple status bar indicating that they are sharing some of their content, similar to AirDrop, with nearby phones.
The next step, to make Mom fully at ease with the privacy settings, is to demonstrate that when she clicks on these status bars, they will open the app or prompt a pop-up about the app in use. It sounds like you have already taken the necessary steps in the iPhone settings to evaluate each app and whether it needs access to her camera, microphone, and location services.
When it comes to location tracking- there is an exception. Instead of using a color to indicate that location services is turned on, the iPhone uses a little right facing arrowhead, like >. All phones broadcast their spatial coordinates to a nearby cell phone tower. But unless the location services and then tracking options are opted in then there is no further sharing and the phone does not display the location icon. Meanwhile Bluetooth, a built-in short-range feature for sharing, often seems to turn itself on by default on both iPhone and Android devices. There doesn’t seem to be a colorful icon or reminder when it is in use.
While the “color wheel” is specific to the iPhone, Android phones have similar tools to indicate when the microphone, camera, and location data are being accessed. It’s a good habit, whichever device you choose to get in the habit of re-checking the permissions from time-to-time. When you install a new app the default settings will often default to permissions to allow notifications, location services, the microphone and camera. So, like a (colorful) garden that has to be occasionally pruned, we should get acquainted with weeding it down to allay concerns that indeed “the phone is spying on me.” | <urn:uuid:a0828a60-4050-4109-a235-17c22c0071fd> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://dearsmartphone.com/is-the-phone-spying-on-me/ | 2023-09-28T17:52:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.946696 | 964 |
I always send my MIL an Easter card but feel the cute bunnies are not appropriate for her, this year with a printer ink that doesn't smudge I source some Easter crosses. I found two one from Karen Doodles and one from Just Inked which is the one I've used.
I've used Sketch and Stash challenge but I have turned it and the papers are those pretty First Edition Hideway.
Wish now I put a gem inside the flowers instead of some glamour dust but bit difficult when its over two hundred miles away.
I hope everyone is having a lovely Easter, those in the UK hope you missed the thunderstorms I know we did. I'm still dosing myself with anti histamine pills etc which is very odd cos I don't get hayfever! | <urn:uuid:d3ae67e5-fde9-4768-9a81-2ab27e254501> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://debby4000.blogspot.com/2011/04/easter.html | 2023-09-28T17:53:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.971135 | 165 |

A one shoulder dress is an eye-catching look that exudes confidence. Whether attending a formal event or a casual gathering, you can be sure to make a statement with this dress style. It is important to choose a hairstyle that complements the one shoulder dress. When deciding on a look, you should consider the shape of your face, the length of your hair, and the texture of your hair. Here is an elegant evening look that will be sure to elevate any one shoulder dress.
Slicked Back Hair
Slicked back hair is a timeless hairstyle that can add a touch of sophistication to any occasion. This look can be achieved with both short and long hair. Start by styling the hair with a flat iron or curling iron, depending on the desired texture. Then, apply light-hold hairspray and brush the hair back. Secure with bobby pins if needed, and finish with a shine spray.
For a romantic touch, go with a braid. Whether wearing long or short hair, a braid makes a stunning hairstyle when paired with a one shoulder dress. Depending on the desired braid, it can take a bit of prep work beforehand. Start by separating the hair into different sections for braiding and secure any flyaways with hairspray. Once the braid is finished, gather the end of the braid into a low ponytail and use bobby pins to secure.
A faux bob is a great hairstyle for those wanting to add volume with their long hair. Start by sectioning two-inch pieces of hair and curl with a curling iron or flat iron. Roll each section of hair up towards the root and secure with bobby pins. Allow the curled pieces to cool and then brush out with a paddle brush. Finish with hairspray to keep the style in place.
No matter the occasion, a one shoulder dress will make a statement. Like any look, it is important to choose the right hairstyle to go with it. With these three hairstyles, you can be sure to create an elegant evening look that will be sure to turn heads. | <urn:uuid:ccf5a405-345c-477a-a471-79ffe2b6a81c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://dechofilt.com/short-dress-hairstyle/ | 2023-09-28T18:27:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.917556 | 449 |

My morning routine isn’t anything special but I’m thinking of changing that.
I’m trying to decide if I’d like it in my bathroom or somewhere else.
Unfortunately I don’t have the space to make it an entire room, but I would if I could!
I like something like this that is subtle so if it is in my room it wouldn’t stand out or look messy.

A collection of upholstery fabrics inspired by the desert colour palette, traditional Navajo fabrics, brick houses, ironwork products and nature. A modern interpretation of the Southwest style combines rustic and mid-century elements with the artisanal simplicity typical of the American Southwest style to provide a balance between comfort and functionality.
The fabrics from the Southwest collection are woven on a cotton warp, which gives vivid depth to the colours yielded by the wool and acrylic blend. The use of bouclé yarn makes them soft to the touch and cosy. A wide range of colours, including terracotta, bronze, copper, gold, grey, ochre and turquoise, has a sophisticated, yet casual character.
The collection consists of 3 patterned fabrics in 6 colour variants and 2 monochrome coordinates. | <urn:uuid:33f71cb7-c43b-46ba-bdfe-69c50152ece4> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://dekoma.eu/en/collection/southwest | 2023-09-28T17:35:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.900848 | 163 |

They are responsible for outlining, building, and keeping the certification documentation and authorization for all information assets in the organization.
They must study, assess, develop, implement and review information security for safeguarding the business, and its information assets.
CISSP professionals inform users about security rules, possible threats, apply security policy, install software, and monitor networks, among other activities in enabling security in the organization.
They are responsible for evaluating the effects of technological improvements and system changes, finding potential security faults, applying modifications, documenting improvements, and suggesting enhancements for modifying weaknesses.
Q – What is the CISSP certification path?
Here’s the path to get CISSP certified:
Register and prepare for the exam
Get the relevant experience if you are Associate (ISC)2
Become an (ISC)2 Member
Q – What is the latest CISSP Exam version?
The latest CISSP Exam version update was in 2017 that made significant changes to the testing process and introduced a modest revision. Preparation has become more challenging as you need to be knowledgeable in all the 8 domains to pass the exam
Q – Can I reschedule or cancel the CISSP Exam?
To reschedule or cancel the CISSP exam, you need to contact Pearson VUE.
If you are contacting them on phone, it should be at least 24 hours prior to the exam and if you are contacting online, you should do it at least 48 hours before the exam.
To reschedule or cancel, a fee of $50 and $100 is charged respectively.
Q – How long does it take to see my exam results?
You will get the unofficial exam results immediately from your TA once you have checked out from the test center.
The official results will be emailed by the (ISC)2 later.
They will conduct a thorough psychometric and statistical score data analysts for establishing the pass or fail score.
Before this analysis is complete, they need a minimum number of test takers.
So, scores can be delayed for up to 6 to 8 weeks. | <urn:uuid:3b817bd2-9728-47e7-9b3c-0142f289d001> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://delicatelearning.com/product/cissp-certified-information-systems-security-professional/ | 2023-09-28T16:41:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.906761 | 1,785 |

Veneers are routinely used to cover teeth which are discolored, worn, chipped, or misaligned. Veneers are used for many of the same reasons as bonding but they involve a different procedure. If you are looking for a dentist in Manotick to find a solution for worn or misaligned teeth, giveDentistry @ Manotick a call at (613) 491-3300 and our dentists can help you find an affordable solution such as Veneers.
Veneers are thin shells of porcelain or resin that measure less than 1.5mm thickness. First, our dentists will prepare your tooth and then take an impression of the prepared tooth, possibly place a temporary filling in the space, and send the impression to a dental laboratory to have the veneers manufactured.
The veneer is then cemented into place. Although veneers are more expensive and time-consuming than bonding, they are less expensive and conserve tooth structure when compared to crowns.
Typically veneers are difficult to stain, making veneers a very popular solution for many people seeking that perfect smile. Strong and very durable, veneers last from ten to fifteen years, and come in colors that will brighten dark teeth without the worry of them changing colour.
Dental Implants Complete Your Smile, call us for our Implant Dentistry services.
If you're missing one or more teeth and would like to fill the gap with the most natural-looking, comfortable solution possible, you'll be interested in hearing about Implant dentistry.

Johnathon has been doing an excellent job helping our clients for over a year now. We want to highlight him this month.
As a young man growing up in Arkansas, Johnathon Burgess knew for quite some time that he wanted to be a lawyer. And like many of his colleagues, he was more than willing to dabble in a variety of practice areas once he graduated from law school.
It did not take long for him to realize that estate planning was the most fulfilling — and helped the most people.
“I did a little family law, bankruptcy, and nursing home litigation, but I was always drawn to estate planning,” Johnathon said. “The whole goal is to put an estate plan in place so the client and their family have nothing to worry about. You work your whole life to build up assets and want them to go to your kids eventually. Once that plan is in place, you can see how happy clients are. I see estate planning as the enjoyable part of practicing law. My goal is to put them in the best situation possible.”
That client-first, solutions-oriented mindset should help Johnathon fit in just fine here at Leigh Hilton, PLLC. He came to us with almost six years of experience under his belt, having operated a solo practice in his hometown of Batesville, Arkansas, after graduating from the prestigious University of Arkansas at Little Rock William H. Bowen School of Law in 2017. Johnathon is licensed to practice law in Texas and Arkansas.
Johnathon earned his undergraduate degree from Arkansas State University in Jonesboro and opted to first get into coaching and teaching at a local school while his wife, Lindsey, worked on her doctorate in physical therapy. Once she graduated four short years later, Johnathon immediately left teaching and jumped feet-first into law school.
In so doing, he became the first person in his family to graduate from law school.
Johnathon said he was intrigued by the family atmosphere at our practice and the insistence on putting our clients first in everything we do. After personally speaking with Leigh, joining our team made absolute sense.
When he is not working, Johnathon loves spending time with his family. He and Lindsey have been together since they were freshmen in high school. They even went to college together. Together, they have three kids (two girls and a boy) between the ages of 6 and 12 and enjoy being active in their church. Johnathon loves gravel biking, weekend camping trips, and visiting state parks. With their kids busy with sports, he also enjoys watching them have fun. | <urn:uuid:f233cc61-4b02-44a2-871b-4462ad8d1a65> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://dentonestateplanninglawyer.com/attorney-spotlight-johnathan-burgess/ | 2023-09-28T17:42:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.988587 | 526 |

Inpatient Rehab for Alcoholism & Drug Abuse
About Inpatient Addiction Treatment
At Desert Hope in Las Vegas, we make the transition from detox to residential substance abuse treatment an easy one. When you’re feeling better, you’ll move out of detox and begin participating in our inpatient/residential rehab program, which involves full, structured days of addiction treatment programming all at the same Las Vegas rehab facility.
What Is Inpatient Rehab?
, or residential, rehab is a type of addiction treatment in which patients stay at the facility 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Inpatient/residential rehab is advantageous to many since it provides both a supportive network of peers and safe lodging.2 In Desert Hope’s residential addiction treatment program in Las Vegas, Nevada, you’ll enjoy a hotel-like residence as well as many features and amenities, including:
- Chef-prepared, nutritious meals.
- Indoor and outdoor fitness centers.
- Biofeedback chairs.
- A music room with a grand piano.
- Mindfulness spaces.
How Much Does Inpatient Rehab Cost in Nevada?
The cost of inpatient addiction treatment in Nevada depends on several variable factors, such as insurance coverage, duration of the program, and types of treatment programs used (patients often transfer from inpatient treatment to outpatient treatment or sober living).
Addiction treatment is often expensive, but the alternative (continuing to compulsively misuse drugs or alcohol) is much more costly.7 Fortunately, there are ways to pay for rehab in Nevada that can make the cost of treatment much more manageable. For example, Desert Hope offers flexible financing options and payment plans to those in need.
The Right Help at the Right Time
Admissions and Treatment Planning
When you begin the admissions process with Desert Hope, our staff will work with you to develop a tailored treatment plan that meets your needs.
If you know quitting your substance of use will lead to a painful or dangerous withdrawal syndrome, medical detox is likely to be your first step before any other form of treatment, whether inpatient or outpatient.
Partial Hospitalization ("Day Treatment")
A close match to inpatient rehab in terms of structure and programming, day treatment combines the benefits of inpatient rehab with the freedom to come and go. This form of outpatient treatment is a great step-down from an inpatient program or an alternative for individuals with commitments that preclude them from attending a 24/7 program.
Intensive Outpatient Program
These programs offer treatment several hours per day, several times per week and can be a great option for those who have completed a higher level of treatment but still need focused attention or those who have a good deal of social support at home.

About this section
This section describes the priority work taking place across provinces and territories in lung cancer screening.
Accelerating lung cancer screening
To accelerate the implementation of organized lung cancer screening programs across Canada, the Partnership has provided funding to jurisdictions to plan and implement lung cancer screening activities. To reduce barriers in lung cancer screening, projects are engaging with high-risk populations and First Nations, Inuit, and Métis to ensure that lung cancer screening programs are culturally appropriate and meet the needs of high-risk populations.
Nine provinces and one professional organization are participating in the Accelerating Lung Cancer Screening initiative.
Through the Lung Cancer Screening (LCS) project, BC Cancer has completed the pre-implementation and implementation activities required to offer low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) within each Regional Health Authority (RHA) in a centralized, standardized way. A focus was placed on promoting equitable access. The program will leverage, as appropriate, processes and systems currently being used, including the LCS pilot and resources produced by the Partnership and the Canadian Association of Radiologists. The new screening services launched in May 2022.
Alberta Health Services supports the implementation of a lung cancer screening program for people who are at high risk and submit an expression of interest (EOI) under the Accelerating Lung Cancer Screening initiative. It seeks to build program capacity through a phased-in pilot approach to ensure the necessary resources, scalable processes and adequate infrastructures are in place before the launch of a province-wide program. Specific objectives are to:
- set up the screening program’s governance structure and decision-making process
- develop lung cancer screening pathways and relevant clinical protocols and processes
- offer LDCT for high-risk individuals (limited enrollment) starting in Q1 2022
- develop lung cancer screening materials for eligible Albertans, primary care physicians and specialist physicians
- develop necessary IT infrastructures to allow integration into existing systems (i.e., the provincial screening database and ConnectCare)
- develop an evaluation framework to support monitoring and rapid feedback
- engage with primary care and Indigenous groups to learn how to support their knowledge and access to lung cancer screening services
Overall, the proposed pilot project seeks to implement a phased implementation of lung cancer screening, coupled with engagement and education initiatives meant to raise awareness of the risks and benefits for high-risk populations. This multi-pronged approach includes a planning phase and a pilot implementation phase. The pilot will include primary care engagement, relationship building with community organizations and individual-level strategies, to improve overall health and reduce the mortality caused by lung cancer. An evaluation of the project activities will determine the expansion of the program by June 2023.
The Saskatchewan Cancer Agency will use a collaborative, equity-driven, phased-in approach to developing a provincial lung cancer screening program, starting with the implementation of a pilot.
For a provincial screening program to be effective in serving underscreened and underserved populations, it must be designed in a way that addresses the specific needs of communities. The project’s goal is to move beyond consultation to collaboration and co-creation with communities, which will help ensure that the resulting screening program will reflect the needs of patients and communities most affected by lung cancer, now and into the future. This will help reach more people who could benefit from lung cancer prevention and screening and also avoid inequities in access. It is the only screening program in the Agency that works in and with the community — an innovative approach that could be built upon to improve other cancer control services across the Agency.
Pre-implementation planning activities have begun. Current and future activities include:
- continued stakeholder engagement using established collaboration frameworks
- implementation of a governance and shared decision-making model
- completion of a full business case and analysis of lung cancer screening
- determination of operational and technology requirements
- co-development of an implementation plan using logic models, evaluation frameworks and quality indicators
Through the Accelerating Lung Cancer Screening Program Development and Implementation initiative, a number of activities are underway in preparation for a fully organized lung cancer screening program in Manitoba. This includes the development of all aspects of the program, including LDCT testing, managing and following up with patients, assessing public acceptability, and identifying target populations.
The Indigenous Cancer Care Unit (ICCU) is co-leading a project with the Akausivik Inuit Family Health Team titled Building Pathways to an Inuit-Informed Lung Cancer Screening Initiative in Ontario.
The primary focus of the project is to understand the current barriers to lung cancer screening, sharing test results with participants, and facilitating access to treatment and follow-up care among Inuit (particularly in the Ottawa/Champlain region). Secondly, by utilizing existing data, the project will evaluate mainstream/current eligibility criteria for the Ontario Lung Screening Program and verify this against clinical data and population health data. This work will ultimately contribute to the development risk-based screening guidelines and also risk-based eligibility criteria appropriate for Inuit. The project may also help inform people-specific criteria that are applicable to Indigenous populations, while remaining grounded in an understanding and respect for Indigenous determinants of health and ways of knowing.
Ontario Health is also working with the Partnership to support jurisdictions in their efforts to develop lung cancer screening programs. This support may include the sharing of lessons learned from the Ontario lung screening pilot; leveraging technical and operational lung cancer screening expertise; and building partner capacity in areas such as engagement with high-risk populations, best practices for integrating smoking cessation into lung screening programs, engagement with clinicians (e.g., radiologists, primary care) and evaluation.
Eight institutions have adopted the lung cancer screening demonstration project that started on June 1, 2021. The project aims to recruit 3,000 participants: smokers or ex-smokers between the ages of 55 and 74 who quit smoking less than 15 years ago but smoked for more than 20 years in total.
Referrals come from primary care (namely family physicians and specialized nurse practitioners), specialist physicians or self-referrals. The eligibility criteria follow the risk assessment model. Including the project evaluation period, the project takes place over three years. The first LDCT exams took place in June 2021 and the recruitment for participants took place between June 1, 2021, and July 31, 2022.
The New Brunswick Cancer Network is developing an implementation plan for an organized provincial lung cancer screening program. It will include work on:
- an assessment of the current practices for lung cancer diagnostic, treatment and follow-up pathway
- lung cancer screening practice guidelines
- requirements for the IT infrastructure to support the screening program
- a communication and awareness strategy
- the integration of smoking cessation support within the screening program
- recommendations for the budgetary and human resources needs required to support implementation and sustainable ongoing administration and operation of the screening program
The project will focus on moving key elements of the provincial and Partnership business cases to implementation while organizing a phased-in provincial lung cancer prevention and early detection program. The proposed approach begins organized screening in the central zone by fiscal year 2022–2023. Ongoing monitoring and evaluation of the program will facilitate the implementation process in the other three zones in the province. Using an evidence-based risk assessment model to determine eligibility for low-dose computed tomography screening, access will be targeted to high-risk individuals only.
Individuals may either self-refer or be referred by a healthcare practitioner. Smoking cessation support will be integrated at every step, including for those who don’t meet the criteria for screening. Informed decision-making and navigation will be incorporated into the screening pathway to ensure a safe, client-centred experience. Strict work-up protocols and appropriate use of diagnostic imaging resources will ensure a standardized, cost-effective approach.
The needs of First Nations (Mi’kmaq) communities will be identified and met through ongoing partnership development and full community engagement, ensuring the provision of culturally safe screening, cessation support and care. The phased-in implementation approach will include consulting and engaging with high-risk communities to inform program deliverables and implementation activities. These communities include those without a primary healthcare provider and underserviced communities identified through consultation with the Nova Scotia Department of Community Services. By 2024–2025, all high-risk lung cancer screening participants will be screened via a fully operationalized program available province-wide; no lung cancer screening will occur outside the program.
Newfoundland and Labrador
All working groups have initiated meetings. A preliminary business case was prepared in February 2022. Preliminary discussions are underway with IT vendor Deloitte on building the infrastructure for lung screening, coinciding with the planned second phase of the Health Connect Project. The Partnership’s OncoSim micro-simulation tool will be used to present modelling scenarios for the implementation of a provincial lung cancer screening program.
Anticipated challenges lie in integrating a comprehensive smoking cessation program into the screening program, and in building capacity within the pathology and respirology divisions to take on the workload associated with screening program.
Canadian Association of Radiologists
In collaboration with a group of experts from across the country, the Canadian Association of Radiologists (CAR) has developed lung cancer screening standards to support a patient-focused lung cancer screening program. The first step in developing robust patient- and imaging-focused standards was to review the evidence from Canadian and international screening programs. The CAR also developed a lung screening education program, which includes didactic lectures (webinars), instructor-led case reviews, case review practice and quizzes, all of which are focused on improving the confidence of learners. The program was developed based on a formal needs assessment and in support of an education group, composed of experts and stakeholders, to offer radiologists a range of insights — from introduction to expert lung cancer screening best practices.
The CAR Lung Screening Accreditation Program (LSAP) offers an integrated approach to CT lung cancer screening for radiologists, healthcare administrators, referring physicians, technologists, physicists and patients.

Truth be told, this Social Gal will not be rocking out to the best of Osheaga this summer cause well, some other life stuff is getting in the way of my Osheagatastic. Count me in for 2018, though.
That said, I know many of you Osheaga-smitten Social Gals will be enjoying all it has to offer, and, of course, should do so in Osheaga-worthy edge and style.
Enter some suggestions from the Diary front. Even cooler: Several are likely already in your jam-packed closet. Yes, the one that’s brimming with incredibly wearable, stylish stuff, despite your daily proclamations that “you have nothing to wear.”
Ok, let’s wage some “Osheaga wear.” 😉
Nothing says laid-back but hot like a strategically cut maxi (yes, we’re black obsessed) paired with runners, a floppy hat, and a seriously good pair of shades, something that goes like this:
Now, if the above doesn’t strike any inspo, maybe just rock the romper. Like the maxi-frock, it’s easy, on-trend (not that you care, but you do, kinda), and likely peeking right atcha from the closet and / or clothing hurricane on your bed. We’re thinking something like this:
Still not inspired? How about a body, or tank, with your fave jean shorts?
OK, toughie, if you’re still not dressed and on the way out the door to meet the crew, here’s a last one for the road. Just throw on an oversized shirt (that can easily double as a roomy mini), like this indian-inspired get from DIESEL, and call it a day.
Heck, if the tan (preferable organic spray & play), and hair & makeup are good, you’ll make all the right impressions, and be concert-comf. Enjoy Social Gals! | <urn:uuid:441f65dd-6105-4f73-a9bc-36db87d134af> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://diaryofasocialgal.com/what-to-wear-to-osheaga-17/ | 2023-09-28T17:00:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.910372 | 436 |

Payments in Oneforma is very simple. There’s a fixed monthly cycle, and you get paid around the 25th of every month. You can add your Paypal account (verified, business account) to receive payments from them, and you also have the option to get direct bank payments (but they require a minimum of 50$).
There is also the option of Payoneer coming soon, as they stated in one of their recent newsletter.
They have added the option to get paid via Payoneer now. Adding Payoneer also makes the signing process of W8-BEN much easier, as explained below. Also, less fees.
But before you can begin receiving payments, you need to fill and sign a W8 form (if you are a non-US resident) or a W9 form (if you are a US resident).
What is a W8/W9 form and why do I need to sign it?
It’s a tax-related document you need to provide if your earnings are higher than 300$. Even if you don’t believe you will earn such an amount, you still need to submit this form while adding your Paypal email.
The W8 (BEN) form is required for non-US residents, and you just need to fill in your Name, Location (Country), and your signature. That’s it.
The W9 form is required to be submitted by US residents, and asks for more specific details.
Let the US residents figure the W9 form procedure by themselves. Most likely, if you are a US resident, you already know how to do it.
I am here to explain to you how to fill the W8 form for enabling payments in Oneforma.
How to sign the W8-BEN form in Oneforma/Payoneer?
Update: If you have Payoneer as your payment method, then the below method does not apply to you.
- Go to “My Profile” Section in Oneforma. From the Left sidebar, select “Payment Information” and click on “Add New Paypal Account“.
- From the box that appears, click on “Download W8-BEN form“, and save it.
- Now we need to edit this form. Go to any online pdf editor (or click this to save yourself a Google search). Upload the form you just downloaded.
- Use the “text tool” to write your name and country in the form. Then use the “pencil tool” to sign at the bottom of the form (See screenshot). Then download the form.
- Now go back to the dialog box (where you downloaded the form from), and upload the filled form along with your Paypal email.
That’s it. As simple as that.
Note: If you use Payoneer as your payment method, then you can submit your W8-BEN easily. It will be a very simple and step-by-step process carried by Payoneer. No editing PDFs is involved.
Payment Schedule at Oneforma (when will I get paid?)
Payments in Oneforma run from 25th day of previous to 25th day of this month. This means that for all your work approved till 25th of a month, you will be paid by the 25th of the following month.
They have used this approach to reduce the discrepancies in payment during the end of the month. So if some of your work was completed at the end of the month, you will have to skip one payment cycle and will get paid almost two months later.
This helps them maintain their payment information with integrity, and reduces the chance of error.
Basically, their is a 30-60 day wait between completing work and getting payments, but rest assured you do get paid.
Here are some payment proofs by Oneforma for your motivation.

Substance abuse, Athelte, Rehabilitation, Treatment program, Evaluation
The focus of this study was to examine the experiences of two past participants of an athlete-specific drug and alcohol rehabilitation program. Researchers have discussed the vulnerability of an athlete population and prevalence of substance use among athletes ( e.g., Turrisi, Mastroleo, Mallett, Larimer, & Kilmer, 2007; Martens, Watson, Royland, & Beck, 2005). Some rehabilitation programs and specific approaches to treating substance abuse in athletes have started to emerge and are beginning to be discussed in the literature (Donahue et al., 2014). However, there remains a gap in the research of studies examining the experiences of these athletes who have been going through such programs. The present study aimed to understand the benefits and pitfalls of this specific athlete rehabilitation program. Higher order themes that emerged were overall benefits of attending this program, recommendations of what could improve, and the lessons that were learned throughout the program. Lower order themes for benefits included: athlete culture, improved performance, and a new relationship with substances; lower order themes for room for improvement were: missed opportunities, staff and participants, and analytical data; and the lower order themes for lessons learned included a new way of life and awareness. The study also has implications for what may be important for future providers and program designers to consider when tailoring substance abuse treatment to athletes.

Legal Space for Syringe Exchange Programs in Hot Spots of Injection Drug Use-Related Crime
Harm Reduction Journal
Background: Copious evidence indicates that syringe exchange programs (SEPs) are effective structural interventions for HIV prevention among persons who inject drugs (PWID). The efficacy of SEPs in supporting the public health needs of PWID populations is partially dependent on their accessibility and consistent utilization among injectors. Research has shown that SEP access is an important predictor of PWID retention at SEPs, yet policies exist that may limit the geographic areas where SEP operations may legally occur. Since 2000 in the District of Columbia (DC), SEP operations have been subject to the 1000 Foot Rule (§48–1121), a policy that prohibits the distribution of “any needle or syringe for the hypodermic injection of any illegal drug in any area of the District of Columbia which is within 1000 feet of a public or private elementary or secondary school (including a public charter school).” The 1000 Foot Rule may impede SEP services in areas that are in urgent need for harm reduction services, such as locations where injections are happening in “real time” or where drugs are purchased or exchanged. We examined the effects of the 1000 Foot Rule on SEP operational space in injection drug use (IDU)-related crime (i.e., heroin possession or distribution) hot spots from 2000 to 2010.
Methods: Data from the DC Metropolitan Police Department were used to identify IDU-related crime hot spots. School operation data were matched to a dataset that described the approximate physical property boundaries of land parcels. A 1000-ft buffer was applied to all school property boundaries. The overlap between the IDU-related crime hot spots and the school buffer zones was calculated by academic year.
Results: When overlaying the land space associated with IDU-related crime hot spots on the maps of school boundaries per the 1000-ft buffer zone stipulation, we found that the majority of land space in these locations was ineligible for legal SEP operations. More specifically, the ineligible space in the identified hot spots in each academic year ranged from 51.93 to 88.29 % of the total hot spot area.
Conclusions: The removal of the 1000 Foot Rule could significantly improve the public health of PWID via increased access to harm reduction services. Buffer zone policies that restrict SEP operational space negatively affect the provision of harm reduction services to PWID.

This study aimed to explore whether Open Studio Process (OSP) increased wellbeing of middle and high school students when facilitated by teachers as a part of the regular art curriculum. It was hypothesized that OSP might increase the sense of wellbeing among middle and high school students as well as facilitating teachers. The research was conducted as a mixed methods study in South Korea where students need preventative interventions for their wellbeing. The researcher trained eight teachers to facilitate OSP and five of them implemented it with their classes for seven sessions. Quantitative data (K-YSR; pre- and posttest) were collected from 288 students (ages from 12 to 17; Mage = 14.04/SD = 1.551 ; grade 7 to 11; 186 girls and 102 boys; 4 middle and 2 high schools) divided between experimental (n = 149) and control groups (n = 139). Qualitative data included two open-ended questions answered by each student in the experimental group after the 7-session class, teachers’ written feedback about OSP collected after their training, and a focus group for the teachers after the sessions were concluded. Students’ K-YSR scores in the experimental group (all secondary school students) showed improvement compared to the control group for Somatic Complaints that typically relate to stress and depression showed statistically significant improvement which included general somatic complaints (t = -3.649; p = 0.0001) and DSM somatic complaints (t = 3.021; p = 0.003). Students’ responses from qualitative data showed high satisfaction with the 7-session class through improved sense of wellbeing and 93% of re-take rate. In the focus group, the teachers shared their impressions of improved student-teacher relationship and of students’ increased awareness about diversity and more proactive behaviors, personal and professional benefit for themselves, and the feasibility of implementing the program as a part of the school curriculum. OSP may have potential to improve students’ wellbeing in school setting when it is provided by art teachers as a part of the art curriculum in South Korea.

The ARTC is a non-profit organization of retired teachers that represent 16,000 members/affiliates and advocate for 33,000 CT retired teachers.
- Promotes the economic, professional, and social well being of CT retired teachers.
- Encourages the participation of retirees in service to their communities.
- Advocates the continuous improvement of education in CT schools.
ARTC’s primary concerns center on the financial security of our pension and health insurance benefits. We also advocate for the preservation of Medicare. Our goals are to work towards:
- Maintaining our pension system.
- Securing full state funding of our health insurance premium account (HIPA).
- Eliminating the state income tax on teacher retirees’ pensions.
- Preserving the Social Security COLA by opposing the Chained CPI
- Repealing the GPO/WEP.
Connecticut is one of only five states that fully taxes state pensions. 26% of retired teachers choose to move to other states upon retirement, states where their income is not heavily taxed. This is a money drain on the state of Connecticut.
Opposing the Chained CPI is important to us because any adverse effects to the SS COLA will affect us two fold. For most CT retired teachers our pension COLA is based on the SS COLA. Therefore, any reduction in the SS COLA will reduce our pension.
CT teachers contributed to their pension during their working years, and we fail to see why our pension is not considered a private pension, but looked at as a SS retirement benefit. The GPO/WEP has turned into an unfair and regressive tax on thousands of municipal workers throughout the country. It is an unfair law that mainly discriminates against widowed women. | <urn:uuid:98978549-6c7f-4a11-9895-84a9d8ec8136> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://directory.ctnewsjunkie.com/directory-listing/the-association-of-retired-teachers-of-connecticut-artc/ | 2023-09-28T18:29:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.959158 | 367 |

As we continue our series on the best infinity pools in Hawaii, let’s hop over to Hawaii’s Big Island. There are two, Big Island hotels with fabulous infinity pools.
Westin Hapuna Beach Resort
The resort’s infinity pool is located between a water feature with lily pads and koi fish and the main, lower-level pool. So, the infinity pool is high enough to to have a good view of the beach.
When we stayed at the Westin Hapuna Beach Resort in 2019, we spent just about every free moment at the infinity pool. It was so peaceful to rest along the edge and look out onto the ocean.
Several lounge chairs and umbrellas are situated by the infinity-edge pool. There are four loungers in a section of the infinity pool.
Please note that the resort’s infinity pool is designated for adults-only.
Four Seasons Resort Haulalai
The Four Seasons Resort Haulalai is one of Hawaii’s most luxurious resorts, so it’s no surprise that it has an infinity-edge pool. The Palm Grove Pool is an adults-only pool that features both a swim-up bar and a Jacuzzi. Niiiice!
We haven’t stayed at Four Seasons Resort Haulalai yet. For reviews, check out this TripAdvisor link.

SAVE SMARTER with Upromise by Sallie Mae
Thank you to Upromise by Sallie Mae for sponsoring this post! As always, all opinions are my own.
Saving for college is something that is almost always on my mind. After having our third child, it really became a concern. I want all of my kids to be able to go to college if they want and I don’t want them to have to struggle or juggle multiple jobs while they are doing it.
When I became pregnant with my first child many years ago, I signed up for Upromise by Sallie Mae. I knew that I could save money for college for my kids (and even myself if I wanted to) all with the purchases that I make every day. I never shop online without going through Upromise and to date, we have several thousand dollars saved for the kids.
Upromise is a rewards program where shoppers can earn cash back for college with everyday purchases. It is free to join and to date, Upromise members have collectively earned more than $900 million and counting, helping families contribute to college tuition, expenses and loans. Members can allocate their cash back earnings in several ways to help save, plan and pay for college. By simply starting your online shopping at Upromise.com at hundreds of online retail partners such as Target, Apple, Best Buy, Macy’s or Old Navy, families can earn 5% back for college on eligible purchases. Upromise members can earn up to 5% cash back just by shopping with Upromise partners —including more than 850+ online stores and 10,000+ restaurants, grocery and drugstores. Popular online retail partners include Macys.com, Staples.com, Groupon and more.
In addition to saving 5% when shopping online, users can earn an additional 5% when shopping online with the Upromise MasterCard, totaling 10% cash back for college. Money earned through Upromise can be put in an eligible 529 college savings plan, put towards eligible student loans, deposited in a Sallie Mae savings account such as Upromise GoalSaver.
Upromise members can:
- Transfer earnings to eligible 529 plans or high-yield savings accounts
- Apply earnings to student loan repayment
- Request a check for cash for books and other expenses
- Split up earnings across multiple beneficiaries
Upromise GoalSaver is a no-fee, no minimum balance savings account that serves as the perfect entryway for families who have not yet started saving for college, but aren’t financially ready for a 529. What better way to celebrate than getting a jumpstart on saving with Upromise GoalSaver. Upromise GoalSaver is saving made simple that also rewards you.
Upromise GoalSaver is a simple, straightforward and free online savings account that allows families to save for college, and other goals, all in one place:
- Upromise GoalSaver is not a 529, nor an ESA—it’s a completely free program that allows families to save for college, a nest egg, an emergency fund or all of the above
- Through the GoalSaver program, families can set and track multiple goals through a single view – one per child, for example – without having to open separate accounts
The hard part isn’t saving for college, it’s getting started. Start today with Upromise!

We tend to think that we would love to offer help if someone asked for help. But we think we are the exception. If we ask for help, surely we will be viewed as needy and weak and a burden.Dr. Michael Brown
- If we fail to ask for help, the people who love us most may not know how to help us.
- Demanding help is easier but less effective than asking for help.
- Counseling and coaching often exist because community does not.
- Asking for help is not a sign of weakness but a sign of courage.
- Asking for help gives others the opportunity to use their unique strengths and abilities.
- Asking for help ushers us into community and connection.
- In the next 24 hours, ask a close friend for prayer or a word of advice.
- Make a practice of verbalizing the phrase, “I need your help.”
- Attempt to defuse your next tense conversation with the question, “Will you help me?”
Chaos And Friendship
Life is hard, but it becomes a lot easier when we struggle alongside others. This week, Dr. Michael Brown and author of A Book About Friendship, Sammy Adebiyi, encourage us to pursue our deepest desire for human connection even (and especially) when times are tough.
Seek Out Mentors
On the path of life, those who have traveled ahead of us possess an immeasurable wealth of wisdom for the journey. Listen in this week as Amy Seiffert and Dr. Michael Brown talk about the life changing decisions each of them made to follow in the footsteps of an experienced guide.
Stop Wearing Masks
Wallet, keys, phone, and… mask? In 2020, remembering to grab your mask before you run an errand has become the new normal. This week, Russell Catania and Dr. Michael Brown have a candid conversation about a completely different kind of mask we wear. | <urn:uuid:c1c6912b-5208-4c12-8d91-5c76e99cd810> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://dmbcoaching.com/podcast/ask-for-help | 2023-09-28T18:08:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.933908 | 427 |
Dmitry Noskov was born in Moscow, Russia on October 11th, 1976. There was very reverent attitude to the music in Dmitry’s family. From the father’s side — he’s grandfather Anatoly Noskov played in the Leonid Utyosov Jazz Orchestra. His grandmother was a ballet dancer and his father Alexander Noskov played several instruments but to provide for the family, he preferred his other talent — the tailor. From an early age, Dmitry showed a real crave for music. Barely learnt the basics of musical notation and composition with the help of a private teacher, Dmitry began to compose his own music. As a teenager, he spent most of the free time listening to popular domestic and western music. As Dmitry admits himself, he learnt English not because of the school but because of the translation of popular western songs lyrics. That’s how he earned his first money in school. Dmitry began to work and earn very early. He didn’t even graduate from the school, only received a certificate stated that he had attended classes from 1st to 9th. Dmitry’s first job was related to computers. He spent a lot of time in the computer club, quickly mastered the basics of the programming and operating, he began to help less experienced visitors. This was noticed by the club owner and he offered a job to Dmitry. A little later Dmitry combined his two talents for music and computers and mastered the profession of arranger.
During this period, Dmitry was fascinated by hip-hop movement and disco-house music. Also tried to compose the songs in these directions. In the period from 1994 to 2006, Dmitry worked with all the stars of the Russian pop-stage: A. Malinin, A. Apina, A. Ukupnik, N. Baskov, B. Moiseev, v. Stashevsky, gr. Assorted, gr. Virus, gr. Daiquiri, gr. Prime Minister, gr. Arrows, I. Allegrova, I. Ponarovskaya, Lolita, L. Gurchenko, M. Shufutinsky, gr. Lesopoval, Trofim, K. Orbakaite, etc. Participated in the following projects: “People’s artist 1,2”(RTR channel), “Melodies and rhythms of foreign pop” (channel 1), “Al Bano Carisi and his ladies”, “San Remo in Moscow”. Foreign pop — stars highly appreciated the skill if Dmitry’s orchestrations and arrangements. Later, one of Dmitry’s compositions was chosen for the Eurovision 2009 main theme musical background. Same year, Dmitry arranged main title song “I don’t believe in miracles” for Alexander Voitinsky’s blockbuster “Black lightning”. Which was performed by Alexander Rybak. 2005 was the first time when Dmitry tried to write the music for the movie. He created original orchestrations of Arkady Ukupnik’s melodies, for the film “Bastards” by Alexander Atanesyan. Since then, the work in the cinema has captured Dmitry and he’s the author of music for more than 50 feature films and tv-series (“T-34”, “Salute-7”, “Attraction”, “Love-carrot”). In many of them he’s also a music producer. Dmitry Noskov is unique sample of a modern composer. Having passed a long practical way from simple forms of popular music, he naturally turned on to more complex structures. Among his such classic composers as: D. Schostakovich, I. Stravinsky, S. Rachmaninov, P. Tchaikovsky, K. Penderetsky, B. Bartok… All this invaluable experience as well as fine taste and commercial flare, allow Dmitry to achieve the highest quality in his work on the highest Hollywood level. Being a big fan of Frank Sinatra, Dmitry began his vocal career in 2017 October 11 th, 2017 — “I’ll sing to you like Frank” program was premiered at “Cinema Club”, with “Krugly band” conducted by Alexey Kruglov. 20 original orchestrations were bought in New York and 4 more were written by the legend of Russian Jazz — Yury Markin. Including the first single “I’ll sing to you like Frank”. Dmitry Noskov successfully performing in Moscow and many other cities within Russia. | <urn:uuid:4ac41d19-2fd3-4814-8f4f-b4c69ff517e2> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://dmitrynoskov.com/en/bio | 2023-09-28T17:00:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.966976 | 960 |

Finally first sailing in Poland since March 2019! Big cold coming from east locked most of our favorite lakes. What a great 5 days of intense sailing with Polish top sailors crowned with Polish Fleet Cup over a weekend.
Lots of sailing, from sunrise to sunset every single day. I tried new Moore mast, new planks and new hull. Busy period and no pressure – this is what I needed. And this is what I got.
Together with Robert we managed to sail total of 400km. That was fantastic experience. We did great job in optimizing new setup and tuning boat speed. There is still some work to be done but it is more about spending hours in the boat.
I also tested all new 3D printed upgrades and found some of them to fail in cold. Aerodynamic sidestay adjuster worked perfect same as knee steering fixture. A fail happened to aerodynamic mast step shell. I haven’t said a word about it yet but it is coming to the daylight this week. I am sure you will love it. | <urn:uuid:b4c0b21a-906c-4545-8bc3-e1f738ae406c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://dn-parts.com/polish-fleet-cup-2021/ | 2023-09-28T16:56:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.969384 | 212 |

The DOCV is very much a riding club. Our rides combine interesting and enjoyable routes, good company and support and camaraderie that will stretch your riding horizons.
Your first ride with the club can be a bit intimidating. After all you don't know anyone and you don't know what to expect. So this ride is designed to ease you into club rides and get you started. It's classified as an "Easy Ride". It's a bit shorter than the typical club ride, has a few corners, and includes all of the club ride essentials:
- Some great Victorian riding roads
- Lunch at a reasonably priced but good venue
- The shared experience of a club group activity
This ride starts from the Butlers Pantry at 9.30 am and takes us South East through the rolling hills of Gippsland and on to Kilcunda for lunch. The ride finishes at the Hampton Park BP Petrol Station. Total distance of ~213km (~3.5 hours of riding) plus your commutes.
Plan your commute to the Butlers Pantry to arrive no later than 9 am, as we have various formalities to cover-off before we depart. Usually before a ride, we like to have a coffee, introduce ourselves to one another and have a bit of a chat. So most will tend to come at least 45 minutes before departure time.
There will be a fuel after 118 Km, but as with all rides, you need to have a full tank at the start.
A delightful and fun route with nothing too challenging at a comfortable pace.
Established members are encouraged to get involved in the spirit of the event.
Important: please take the time to acquaint yourselves with the club's riding protocols and etiquette. Your booking and participation in the ride will assume you have and requires it.

Are you having a brand-new window installed in your home? Or are you simply replacing the glass in an old window?
Either way, it’s important for you to choose the right type of glass for your window. There are many types of window glass on the market today, so you’re going to have to take some time figuring out the best glass for windows in your specific home.
Here are some of the different types of window glass that will be available to you. Try to decide which one would suit your home best as you learn more about them.
In This Post:
If you’re looking for the most basic type of glass for windows, you can’t go wrong with float glass. This type of glass is produced by taking molten glass and transforming it into long panels.
Although there isn’t anything particularly special about float glass, it’s one of the least expensive types of window glass. It’s why so many people pick this glass for windows in their homes, especially when doing window glass replacement.
Annealed glass is a small step up from float glass. To manufacture annealed glass, companies that produce window glasses take float glass and put it through a cooling process to make it stronger than it would be otherwise.
If you need your window glass to be stronger than float glass while still being on the affordable side, annealed glass is a terrific option.
Are you searching for one of the strongest types of window glass on the market today? Then you’re going to love what tempered glass has to offer.
Tempered glass is annealed glass—which, as we just mentioned, is already strong—that is taken and heated up to 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit and then cooled quickly to make it as strong as possible.
You might also want to consider going with safety laminated glass for your home’s windows if strength is what you’re chasing. This is another type of glass that is extra strong.
Does the sun shine directly into your home at certain times of the day? If so, the sun’s UV rays can really do a number on everything from your furniture and walls to your flooring and carpets.
Tinted glass might be the solution to your problem. It’s designed to stop UV rays from getting into your home so that they aren’t able to cause things to fade.
Tinted glass is also excellent for those that want to beef up their home’s privacy. You won’t have to worry about people peering into your home when you have tinted glass for windows.
Choose the Best Type of Glass for Your Windows
Now that you know more about some of the most popular types of window glass, which one are you going to choose for your home? Your decision should be based on what you need your window glasses to do once they’re in place.
Pick the type of glass that is going to deliver the best results while fitting well within your budget. And make sure you hire the right window glass replacement company to put your glass into place for you.
Check out the articles on our blog to find out more about improving the windows in your home. | <urn:uuid:55b38a85-f211-49c3-aa6f-f3ec6d374541> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://domesticationsbedding.com/how-to-choose-the-right-type-of-glass-for-your-new-window/ | 2023-09-28T18:03:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.954489 | 725 |
The first thing you should do when you get a false question on a test, is to think about what the question means. If you are unsure of the meaning of the question, it is best to ask the teacher. If there is no teacher at all, you can ask for a clarification. If you do not receive a clear explanation or you need to ask the teacher again, keep asking until you get an accurate answer.
Do not just answer the question based on what you read in the test itself. If the question does not say anything about the substance you are studying, it may mean nothing at all. In most cases, if you can’t figure out what the question means, you can simply look at the diagram on the paper where the question was given. The diagram should tell you whether or not the substance is present, and whether or not it is electrically conductive. If it isn’t conductive, then it is not electrically conductive, and you won’t have any problems when you take the test.
It may be possible for you to answer a false question on a test by using a calculator, but you will probably need to find a calculator specifically designed for chemistry tests. This means you should pay attention to the instructions. In order to answer a question with a calculator, you will need to know what the equation is and how to solve it. You should also be able to find some books containing the formulas for these types of equations.
If you are unable to answer a false question with a calculator, you can also get help from an assistant teacher or by consulting the textbook for the test you are taking. If you are having problems finding the answer, ask for the answer. If it is not provided, then you should consider consulting a book or calculator that is specifically designed for chemistry questions. If you can’t find one, then you may also try taking the test a second time to make sure that you have taken the right answer.
If you cannot find the answer to a question that you feel has been given to you in the test, then you should consider consulting a book that is specifically designed for test solving. or consulting a professional for help. Once again, you should make sure to ask the instructor or a student aid who will be working with you, in order to answer questions.
Remember, answering questions on your own is not the only way to answer a test. Often, you will have several chances to answer a question, and the last chance usually goes to the last one listed. If you get stuck, and cannot find the answer to the question, you should try to use a calculator and look for alternatives before you move on to the next one. In many cases, this is the most effective way to answer the question.
Sometimes you will be asked to do a problem, so be sure to do it right the first time. Sometimes the answer may not be the same as the one on the quiz, but there is no harm in checking. Remember, it is important to make sure that you understand what you are doing, and to make sure that you understand what it is saying. | <urn:uuid:7ce80495-a0fe-4af6-add9-85e38e8d6dc6> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://domyphysicsexam.com/how-to-do-my-physics-test-how-to-answer-questions-that-are-false/ | 2023-09-28T18:49:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.968944 | 640 |
Some of the courses used to help with this exam are taught at home or at college levels. For example, AP Exam physics 2 review materials, which include practice problems, practice questions, and supplemental information about the exam itself, are available through several websites. Some of these sites have hundreds of practice problems for the AP exam.
The first step to taking this coursework is taking a course to become familiar with all of the topics of the AP Exam, including all of the topics and theories used to pass. Students will need to review the topics learned in high school, including elementary, secondary, and tertiary subjects, as well as a number of additional topics.
The next step is taking coursework to become comfortable in the different topics used to pass the exam. Most students who take AP Physics 2 review materials do so after completing their elementary education. They also need to understand how to apply those concepts in their own lives.
Once they have finished their coursework, students can begin to prepare for the AP exam. After completing a basic understanding of the topics covered in the coursework and a general understanding of the AP exam, they can begin taking practice tests to help with their preparation. Some people take tests multiple times to find out which questions they have answered correctly.
Once they have completed a test, the student can either take a quiz or take the exam. The quizzes used to help with the exam can be taken online or in a specific format. A student must take practice tests several times before taking the actual exam. Some exams require a multiple choice format, while others involve multiple-choice questions and written reports.
The first few times a student takes the test, he or she must review each section of the paper to make sure that they understand it, and the concepts that are being tested. to make sure that the student’s knowledge of the topic is up to date. The student must also be able to determine which topics are the most difficult.
As the student goes through the coursework, the student is allowed to make any changes they want to the questions on the test and write their own answers. This allows them to get all of the answers right, so that they have a solid understanding of the topic and the material presented in it.
The student can study for the exam by studying in his or her own time. They can also take a mock AP test to give themselves some practice before taking the actual exam.
The final step involves practicing in the real world to prepare for the exam. Students who do this will be able to get the most out of their AP Physics 2 exam test and they will not have to take such a large amount of prep courses in order to pass it.
There are many ways for students to prepare for the coursework. Some students can take a class, while others can study in their spare time. However, there are several ways to prepare for the AP Physics 2 exam that will help to increase the student’s confidence that they can pass the test.
The student should also consider taking a mock test online in order to familiarize themselves with the various tests and how they will appear on the exam. Finally, students should take a practice test in order to help them decide what questions to answer. The student should also make sure they have sufficient time for the prep courses and practice tests in order to learn how to apply the material in the test. | <urn:uuid:1d5a8788-b588-4ca6-a3d8-8ca2decb969a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://domyphysicsexam.com/preparing-for-the-ap-physics-2-exam/ | 2023-09-28T18:40:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.971802 | 689 |

Freddy Bates: Is He Missing? The strange disappearance of Freddy Bates has shattered the close-knit hamlet of Cedarbrook, Oregon.
The adored explorer and outdoorsman disappeared without a trace, leaving a society searching in vain for explanations.
No trace of Freddy has been discovered despite the painstaking efforts of law enforcement and search teams.
Long-term volunteers from the neighborhood and beyond have been helping with the hunt.
The disappearance has sparked a sense of strength and camaraderie among Cedarbrook residents as they continue to look for clues and pray for Freddy’s safe return.
Freddy Bates’ Initial Disappearance
Freddy Bates went for a trip in the vast forests that surrounded Cedarbrook on a bright July evening.
His loved ones were originally unconcerned when he did not return home that evening because he was an experienced outdoorsman with a taste for adventure.
But when the hours turned into days and Freddy was still missing, the neighborhood’s level of concern grew.
Teams of search and rescue personnel were sent in, and the town turned into a center of search activity over the ensuing days and weeks.
Despite a comprehensive search, Freddy’s whereabouts remained unknown, leaving his family, friends, and the entire neighborhood in shock and worry.
The Community United
The disappearance of Freddy Bates brought the Cedarbrook neighborhood together in a unique way. Strangers and people from all walks of life teamed up to look for the missing adventurer.
The neighborhood established search stations, sent out search teams at all hours of the day and night, and kept each other updated via social media.
Other communities’ support was a result of the community’s diligent efforts. People donned “Bring Freddy Home” T-shirts all around the state, and local fundraisers were organized to generate money for the search effort.
The locals held onto their hope and continued their search for Freddy Bates.
Freddy Bates Missing Update
There hasn’t been any new information on Freddy Bates’ location despite the community’s tireless search efforts and the assistance of other communities.
The expectation of his safe return gradually diminishes as the weeks grow into months.
Local media sites continue to report updates as fresh details come to light, but the case is still unsolved.
The community’s ongoing assistance and the family’s undying tenacity keep the search efforts going.
There is still reason to believe that Freddy will be found safe and sound with every search team that leaves and with every update posted on social media.
Freddy Bates Family’s Unwavering Determination
The family of Freddy Bates remained steadfast in their hunt for him as the search for him went on.
They persisted in aiding the search operations and exchanging stories about the cherished explorer.
Freddy’s family made sure that the public was aware of his tale through touching social media posts and community events.
They were determined to keep searching and preserve Freddy’s memory.
The family’s unwavering commitment and ceaseless attempts are a testament to their unwavering love for Freddy and their communities’ faith in their ability to locate him.
Freddy Bates Road Ahead

At the time of its creation, Fortnite was not a new concept, but there were few games innovating in the battle royale genre. Fortnite helped build a genre that is a staple of the gaming industry today when it came out and started focusing on a battle royale mode.
There are now many games that have made a name for themselves in the battle royale genre. Some have taken the concept and made it more interesting by adding more survivor elements and crafting. Other games have added tweaks to the battle royale formula and made themselves unique, even if they seem like just another battle royale on paper.
For some reason, Fortnite continues to feel like an experience like no other, so it’s hard to find a game that feels like Fortnite, as opposed to “battle royale” games like Fall Guys that have completely different objectives. Below is a list of games that are actually like Fortnite, not just those with a premise of a lot of players pitted against each other.
Surviv.io is a 2-D battle royale with a bird’s eye view. It may look simple, but it has everything you need for a basic battle royale game. Like all battle royales, you land at a random location, pick up your weapons, and kill everyone else on the map. It is a game that anyone can play on a computer or a mobile device. While you can play this on a phone browser, you’ll need a controller since it doesn’t work well with touch screens.
Once you get used to it, the game becomes very fun because it feels like a whole new challenge. Winning is difficult since you have to get used to not being able to see everything in the distance, and hiding is as simple as walking under a tree.
11) Realm Royale
Realm Royale originated as Paladins: Battlegrounds, a game mode in Paladins that became so popular that developer Hi Rez Studios made it into its own game. Realm Royale has a similar cartoon style to Fortnite, but offers a few differences. Apart from some turrets, this is mostly Fortnite without building, and without the polished Epic Games touch.
One of the biggest differences in Real Royale? You don’t just crawl around like in Fortnite when you’re knocked down. Instead, you turn into a chicken. You must then escape enemies long enough to return, or they will kill you permanently. Although you can still attack people as chickens, it’s not recommended, since chickens are pretty easy to track down and eliminate.
10) Z1 Battle Royale
H1Z1 was one of the first battle royale games on the market, but it had a lot of bugs and glitches at the beginning. Although H1Z1 had plenty of issues, it was unique and offered the battle royale experience we didn’t even know we wanted, selling over a million copies in early access. The popularity of the game waned over time, but H1Z1‘s current edition, Z1 Battle Royale, is still going strong.
The game was rebranded to Z1 Battle Royale in 2019 to emphasize the game’s focus on the genre that had become popular. The game has all the battle royale elements that players are used to in a game like Fortnite, just without the building. Keep in mind that the graphics are a bit dated compared to other games on the market like Battlefield 2042 or Call of Duty: Warzone
9) Naraka: Bladepoint
Naraka: Bladepoint is a game that’s free on PC and Xbox Series X|S with a Game Pass subscription. Players in the game wield different weapons, which can be dropped and changed depending on the user’s preferences or the weapon’s durability. You can climb walls, jump athletically, and use a grappling hook to climb and hide.
The game is very easy to learn but hard to master since the timing of sword swings is crucial to winning a fight. There are powers, different characters, and an intense fighting system that will leave you wanting more.
8) Totally Accurate Battlegrounds
Totally Accurate Battlegrounds is Totally Accurate Battle Simulator in battle royale mode. The same wonky physics are added, preventing things from being too easy. For example, if your weapon is powerful, it might be enough to push you into some lava.
The jokes and ridiculous gameplay are what make this game so entertaining. You still need to kill everyone on the map, but you will feel like there was a lot of luck involved when you and your enemy both struggle to shoot straight because both of your arms keep flailing.
7) Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds
In the early days of Fortnite, there seemed to be a lot of hate for the game from players of Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG). PUBG was not the first game to come up with the battle royale idea, but some people felt that PUBG was the one that made it popular.
PUBG did standardize many of the hallmarks of battle royales, and many of the features players loved in PUBG, such as the closing circle, made it into Fortnite and many other battle royale games.
6) Escape from Tarkov
There are two teams in Escape from Tarkov, but it’s easy to fell like you’re on your own while playing. The game moves away from the goofiness of many battle royale games, and there’s a seriousness to its gameplay and team dynamic. If you raid, you are trying to move from one side to another, and if you are being raided, you are trying to kill your enemies before they kill you. It is harder than it sounds because if you bolt from side to side, killing anyone in your path, the enemy will drop you in seconds.
Escape from Tarkov players are methodical and are in it to win. In a raid, you only have one life, and losing your equipment is devastating since you’ve worked hard to accumulate your personal stash over many raids. This may not sound like Fortnite, but you’ll feel that battle royale experience when you’re scavenging for good weapons when you first start.
5) Minecraft: Hunger Games
One of the oldest battle royales is Minecraft Hunger Games. In 2012, it was known as survival games, and players were tasked with finding weapons on the map and surviving. There is usually no circle to keep players moving; instead, the island is usually small, or there is another reason for players to move from one place to another.
Though the game has evolved over time, the initial concept of getting what you can and hunting for other players is still very much alive today. If you think Fortnite and other games are too realistic or too focused on just gun-based combat, Minecraft Hunger Games might be right up your alley.
4) Halo Infinite
Halo was not the first game to have a free for all mode, but it is the game that brought a lot of people into first-person shooters. There is no word on whether Halo Infinite will add a battle royale mode, but their free-for-all mode is pretty close.
The free-for-all mode is just a battle royale with a smaller map and fewer players to kill. You should play Halo Infinite‘s free-for-all mode if you like Halo or feel like Battle Royales last too long, and don’t have enough action.
3) Population: ONE
The VR game Population: One is one you will love if you can’t get enough of battle royales. Its graphics are cartoon-y, but not as grand or stylish as Fortnite. You’ll have difficulty finding another VR game that does battle royales like this.
The game’s goal is to land in a city, grab weapons, and annihilate your enemies until you are the last person standing. Players can also climb structures to see the area more clearly. You can see all the information about your health, shield, weapon ammo, and the direction you’re facing on the HUD. While it might not have quite the same look or polish as Fortnite, playing a battle royale in VR is an entirely unique experience, putting you directly in the action.
2) Call of Duty: Warzone
If you like Fortnite‘s shooting and tactical fighting, but don’t like the unrealistic jumping and the partnerships Epic Games has with studios to include licensed characters, then you need Call of Duty: Warzone. Warzone focuses on the military aspect of battle royales, and makes players feel more like they’re playing what a battle royale would be like in real life.
With every new release, Warzone changes and sometimes improves gameplay and combat. Some events are unrealistic, such as Godzilla vs. Kong, but the game’s overall feel is based on being a top-tier soldier.
1) Apex Legends
With Apex Legends, the team aspect of Fortnite is taken to a whole new level. Players can choose from various characters with different powers and abilities and use them to beat other players. The game is still a battle royale, but feels so different due to the set characters and abilities. And, while there’s technically no building in Apex, some characters can create shields and other structures that fundamentally change the battlefield. | <urn:uuid:9cb25a16-75e8-48a2-844c-4b5a14325896> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://dotesports.com/fortnite/news/12-best-games-like-fortnite | 2023-09-28T17:24:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.963628 | 2,002 |

Buying a house in the U.S. in 1953 would have cost you less than $20,000. If you take inflation into account, the actual cost is close to $174,000. If you are not a homeowner, this might seem like a lot. However, today’s prospective home buyers would be expected to spend $272,000 on average on a new property. Needless to say, that is a dramatic price increase. No surprise that today’s generations find it hard to buy their first home.
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought new challenges for those looking to take their first steps along the homeownership journey. While the real estate market has remained unchanged in the greater lines – despite minor fluctuations here and there –, future buyers struggle to find affordable properties. Indeed, millions of workers have been laid off or found themselves unemployed during the pandemic. As a result, many are in a tricky financial situation. Committing to a house purchase in a post-pandemic world means that you need to make smart, cost-saving choices and think outside the box.
Avoiding newbie’s mistakes
First-time buyer’s mistakes are expensive in any situation. However, when the economy is still in the process of recovering from the pandemic recession, you can’t afford to waste money. It’s best to wait and improve your credit score rather than apply for a mortgage with a bad score. Most money lenders are unlikely to offer advantageous deals to borrowers with low ratings. On the other hand, borrowers who can recover from debt and show that they are making payments on time and have a debt management plan are more likely to secure a mortgage. Reducing credit utilization to below 50% can also dramatically boost your credit score.
Another costly mistake is failing to understand how much work will be required to move in and fix the property. Your price offer should reflect on additional costs, including paperwork fees, removal, and home improvements. That’s why it’s essential to run a thorough home inspection to gain a deeper understanding of the property and its potential problems.
Downsizing is always an option
The average family home comes in at approximately 2,600 square feet. If you compare to family homes in the 1950s, that’s over 1,000 square feet more in space. Today’s properties are bigger, and the trend for upsizing shows no sign of slowing down. However, if you want more space, you’ll have to pay the price for it.
More and more modern homeowners are thinking about moving into smaller properties in an effort to save hassle and money. What difference would it make to your budget?
A smaller home is cheaper, which means that you could be paying off your mortgage quickly, while still saving money on the side. Energy costs could be significantly lower, as it costs less to heat or cool depending on the season. Additionally, the process encourages minimalistic needs, such as avoiding duplicate items and appliances.
Tiny homes are popular
The tiny house movement embraces small living spaces. According to Wikipedia, a tiny home has a whole residential structure of 400 square feet or under. While those properties are not suited to all homeowners – large families should definitely skip the trend – singles and couples find the trend appealing and extremely affordable. Contrary to common belief, the tiny home is a fully functional house that covers not only all essential needs but does it with style too!
As a rule of thumb, you can expect to find tiny homes at prices ranging from $500 to $12,000. That’s over 22 times cheaper than the median house in the U.S.! Prices vary a lot, depending on the location and the build. Enthusiastic DIY crafters can use reclaimed and salvage materials to save costs. But even if you choose to entrust the build to a professional, a tiny home could be a pocket-sized luxury at a cost-effective price.
Boost your down payment savings
Your down payment is the cash you pay as you buy the property. It is deducted from the value of the house. There is no secret here: The most you can afford to pay as a down payment, the less mortgage you will need. Ideally, you should aim for a down payment of 10% to 20% of the price tag.
Saving for your down payment is no easy task, so it’s essential to proceed with caution. As tempting as it could be to rush and find the perfect home, you need to budget your savings. Setting up a down payment fund can provide enough motivation to stick to your plan. Ideally, you want to aim for a 20% down payment, which takes home buyers between 4 to 6 years to save. Consider it a long-term goal. There is no deadline to hit, which is why you can also allow yourself some time to recover from the pandemic losses.
Let others pay for your mortgage
Managing mortgage payments can be tricky. If you can throw extra money toward your mortgage repayment, you can consider side hustles that pay for the house. Homeowners are keen to use rental services, such as Airbnb, to rent out their properties to guests. You can find alternative housing options for yourself and your family during that time. For instance, off road caravans are a fantastic solution to spend a couple of weeks by the seaside while you’ve got guests at your home. Alternatively, you can also temporarily move in with friends or relatives.
Airbnb hosts can set up availability periods for their properties, which means that you can rent only when it suits you. However, at an average cost of about $200 for an Airbnb rental in San Francisco or NYC, you could pay off your mortgage in a few years!
Have you considered relocating?
Do you live in the right place for your bank account? Being financially stable and comfortable has a lot to do with your everyday living costs. In the U.S., some cities are more affordable than others. In Charlotte, North Carolina, for instance, residents typically don’t expect to spend more than 21.77% of their income on living expenses. In Baton Rouge, Louisiana, people dedicate less than 21% of their income on living expenses, making it an appealing city for prospective home buyers. Huntsville, in Alabama, is the cheapest city to live in. The cost of living is so low that residents commit no more than 19.3% of their income to living expenses. In short, with more and more remote opportunities available, you don’t need to live by your office anymore. You can relocate within the states to a place where being a homeowner is less expensive.
Embrace remote work & lifestyles
If you don’t see your future in the U.S., moving abroad could be the right solution to become a homeowner. A lot of pensioners choose to retire in sunny and affordable countries. However, you don’t need to wait until retirement age to move abroad. Whether you want to work with a foreign company or settle in a remote job, leaving the U.S. could offer new opportunities. One of the cheapest countries to live in is Vietnam, where you can expect to pay as little as $110,000 for a luxury home in Hanoi. A villa by the Black Sea in Bulgaria would cost around $125,000, making it an affordable alternative to the Californian coast dream. If you are not afraid of moving abroad, there are plenty of locations that could host your dream home, from Peru to Thailand.
Is the future in a nomadic lifestyle?
If we are already on the subject of moving abroad, it is fair to ask yourself one crucial question. Do you need a home? As silly as it might sound, more and more Millennials and Gen Z adults are choosing a nomadic lifestyle that allows them to travel around the world. While the current pandemic can be challenging for nomadic professionals, many expect the situation to ease naturally within the next few months. As a result, the choice to not buy a home means that you are free to visit new places as you see fit. Digital nomadic work remotely; many are providing I.T. and digital marketing services. Additionally, it is fair to mention that a nomadic lifestyle doesn’t impede on starting a family. Many nomadic adults travel with their partner and children – thank God for homeschooling!
Is the ultimate home a self-sufficient investment?
Another trend emerging in recent years about homeownership is the move toward self-sufficient, sustainable homes. More and more home buyers are looking for recycled materials for new builds, using a mixture of renewable and salvaged resources. The addition of energy-saving solutions, such as solar roof panels or tanks to collect rainwater helps homeowners to save costs with an off-the-grid lifestyle. Many are also choosing to produce their own food – or most of it. The result? A home that virtually pays for itself and its residents.
In conclusion, it’s hard to pinpoint the right approach for your homeownership journey. However, these options can highlight the current moods and trends, and the many ways future buyers can make their dream home come true. Whether you choose an inexpensive property or a house that can pay for itself, your options are virtually infinite! | <urn:uuid:eb776071-8779-465a-aa01-d57c52a8b364> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://doughmesstic.com/2020/08/14/home-ownership-in-a-post-covid-world/ | 2023-09-28T18:52:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.96271 | 1,920 |
(Washington, DC) As it does every year, DPW has temporarily suspended daytime street cleaning from January 5 to March 12, 2004. During this time, "No Parking/Street Cleaning" restrictions will also be lifted in residential areas that normally have weekly street sweeping. Residents and visitors who park along posted, alternate-side, daytime street sweeping routes will not be required to move their cars on street-sweeping days during the sweeper hiatus.
However, overnight contract sweeping scheduled for major arterials (such as Pennsylvania, Georgia, Constitution, Independence Avenues, and others) will take place as usual all winter, with the attendant parking ban during sweeping hours. This is street maintenance administered by the Department of Transportation (DDOT) to keep DC's largest and most heavily used thoroughfares clean. Motorists are asked not to park in these areas during the posted overnight hours. Enforcement is handled by MPD along these major routes. | <urn:uuid:33af1591-518a-4869-a50d-6b8358131b8d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://dpw.dc.gov/release/overnight-contract-street-cleaning-along-major-arterials-continues-all-winter | 2023-09-28T18:55:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.966592 | 190 |
Looking at the scale and duration of this pandemic it is very unusual that governments did not put much effort in the early treatment of COVID-19 (does not mean it does not exist), that could prevent tough hospitalizations, hospital over crowdedness, and overworked staff. One of the institutions that chose a different approach is located in Austria. Intensive unit doctors of Klagenfurt clinic are achieving positive results in treating COVID 19 with cannabidiol (CBD). CBD is especially interesting due to its anti-inflammatory properties and immune system support. Can the use of CBD for COVID 19 be a step closer to the solution?
We have known viruses from the coronavirus group for a long time. They are known as usually less dangerous common cold bearers. However, today we are facing a virus called SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID -19 and was an unknown variant from this family until the beginning of this pandemic. Most of infections pass with none to mild symptoms, however it can cause serious respiratory complications. In past articles we already discussed cannabis and COVID 19. You can find them here and here. Furthermore, we also discussed the mental consequences brought by the pandemic and how cannabinoids can help.
Before going into details, we would like to emphasize that the purpose of this article is not opinion division or search for alternative means of protection. The purpose is to objectively review the effects of cannabinoids on treating COVID 19 and the results of their use in practice.
WHAT WE ALREADY KNOW
Many studies have confirmed that certain cannabinoids and terpenes have antiviral and antibacterial effects. They also affect our inflammatory and immune response to the presence of pathogens. Research have shown that CBD has and antiviral effect on SARS-CoV-2 as well. In laboratory tissue testing it has shown to decrease the virus reproduction. As it seems, cannabinoids have a very good potential to positively affect COVID-19 infection in various ways.
The first path of virus entry to our cells is via the ACE2 receptor and S1 protein on the spikes of the virus. Studies have shown that completely isolated cannabidiol does not reduce the expression of these protein in our cells. However, some cannabis extracts with a higher CBD content compared to other cannabinoids have shown to efficiently reduce the expression of ACE2 and TMPRSS2. In this way it creates a lack of positions for the virus to bind to and consequently less of the virus can reach our cells.
The second path is related to our COVID 19 immune response. On their surface, immune cells have a great number of cannabinoid receptors. Studies have shown that cannabinoids inhibit T-lymphocytes activity and change the synthesis of cytokines (important signaling molecules for communication between cells and harmonized immune response). Cytokines can be divided to inflammatory and anti-inflammatory. A change in their balance can lead to a heavy inflammatory reaction called a “cytokine storm”. This heavy inflammatory occurrence begins when an individual’s immune system excessively responds and attacks healthy cells.
Various past research has shown that combination of terpenes and cannabinoids affect the overproduction of cytokines. Compared to other types of SARS viruses, in SARS-CoV-2 it occurs with a delay, but more pronounced. Moreover, many researchers have found that cannabinoids reduce the production of cytokines (IL-6, TNF-alfa) and reduce the excessive immune response in conditions similar to COVID-19. You can read more about the effects of cannabinoids on our immune system here.
CBD AND LUNG FUNCTION
Currently CBD is not only seen as a potential antiviral solution in the early stages of infection, but also as a protection against an excessive response of our immune system in the later stages. Especially due to its anti-inflammatory capabilities, CBD can improve our lung function, the exchange of gases, oxygen saturation, and arteries release. Furthermore, it also has a protective function on our cardio-vascular system and nerves. That is why it can consequently prevent and reduce potential cardio-vascular and neurologic complications of COVID-19. Due to the research on positive effects of CBD for COVID 19, there are many further ongoing studies worldwide. However, currently we do not have complete evidence that individual cannabinoids or particular cannabis products protect against infection or their efficiency in treating COVID 19. We will examine a practical case of cannabinoid use in an Austrian clinic further in this article.
A carefully planned placebo clinical study was conducted, that should define the role of CBD in preventing infection and early treatment of SARS-CoV-2. Authors examined chemical effects on 82 patients that consumed CBD before the pandemic. This group was compared to patients without a history of cannabidiol use. The results showed that only 1.2% of CBD users tested positive for COVID-19, compared to non-users where this share was 12.2%. The lower percentage points to potential effectiveness of CBD against the virus infection. However, many more research will have to be conducted to get better results, as there are many factors that can affect the infection process.
AUSTRIAN CLINIC, CANNABIDIOL, AND COVID 19
An Austrian clinic began to use CBD for COVID-19 patients. The treatments are conducted in a 3-week period. At first, doctors of the Klagenfurt clinic used 200 mg doses, which were later on increased to 300 mg. They used CBD on 50 patients and observed, that infection symptoms disappeared much faster compared to the control group.
Dr. Rudolf Likar, the Klagenfurt clinic head of intensive care claims that they noticed a decrease in blood inflammation parameters and patients can be discharged faster compared to the control group. The goal of this therapy is to prevent the excessive immune response, which can lead to other complications and even death. Moreover, they noticed CBD helps restore the blood oxygen saturation and lungs of patients who already have pneumonia healed much faster. Dr. Likar is certain that CBD supports our immune system and will be used routinely in this hospital from now on. We can expect that even more medical institutions will start to use cannabidiol.
He also emphasizes the additional benefit of using CBD for COVID-19 in the lack of side effects for patients. However, he added that the process and effectiveness of CBD in treating coronavirus is not yet completely understood. Much research has to be conducted to learn even more about it, however the first results seem very promising. Furthermore, EFA report states that other studies from the UK, Canada, and Israel confirmed positive effects of CBD therapy for COVID 19 as well. Israel is currently in the process of approving the drug as part of COVID 19 treatment.
CANNABINOIDS SHOW POTENTIAL
Experts that are studying the relationship between cannabinoids and the immune system already discovered many positive effects of cannabinoids on inflammatory and autoimmune conditions. Additionally, they are very efficient in treating anxiety, nausea, vomiting, and reducing pain. Furthermore, studies also showed that cannabinoids have a soothing effect and can greatly improve the quality of sleep. As we could see, a great potential in treating COVID-19 is observed as well. Although we still need much research, this is a large step towards the development of cannabinoid-based treatments. If full spectrum preparations could be used, we can only imagine the extent of positive effects due to the entourage effect (looking at other conditions, where such preparations were used). | <urn:uuid:017a658e-90f7-4fdd-aea3-3c386dd29350> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://dragon-cannabis.com/en/2022/01/07/covid-19-and-cbd-new-potential/ | 2023-09-28T18:04:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.958875 | 1,544 |
Drake Cooper has been working with Jacksons as the agency of record for almost five years. The relationship began with helping manage their campaigns and promotions, and has evolved to include a complete rebrand and massive packaging projects. To date, we’ve helped redesign over 150 Jacksons products.
Rethinking the C-Store Product
As Jacksons continues to grow, the need for a strong private-label brand was increasing. This is something customers have begun to see across the c-store industry. Private-label products are a fantastic way to offer consumers a great product at a better price with stronger margins for the company. This even goes beyond brick-and-mortar stores with the recent announcement of Amazon producing a new line private-label products to be delivered right to your door. Price is probably the most important factor with private-label products, but there is a fine balance you have to find to compete for pricing without sacrificing quality, especially against national brands. Consumers have a subconscious process in which they can roughly determine the quality of a product from its display, design, and the unique characteristics. Yet, with every product category being slightly different and appealing to specific psychographic audiences, each good needs to be carefully researched before a redesign can even begin. We start each project with that in mind and draw a lot of learnings from researching the national brand the product will be up against.
From Concept to production, to Sales
Take pastry for example. One of our most recent endeavors, the thinking needs to go far beyond just package design to understand and communicate the value propositions to consumers. For pastries, as with many food products, the most important components are freshness and quality, ultimately guiding a consumer to experience a tasty product. When thinking about packaging, there were lots of formats and options to consider. In the end, we recommended a sticker band. Sticker bands are unique in that they are unobtrusive, leaving most of your attention to the actual pastry and not the packaging. Specifically within the c-store industry, conveying quality is critical. Consumers need to see the quality of the product they are buying. Blocking it with a box or colored wrapper just makes it more difficult to understand what a consumer is getting. Furthermore, designing the entire display area to be cohesive and showcase product imagery helps evoke more positive emotions. To do this, the pastries were paired with fresh bananas and fruit to help consumers draw correlations between fresh fruit and a packaged good.
We launched the new products in March, and though we still have a lot to go before drawing conclusions, there was a sharp spike in sales almost immediately. This is just the beginning of a long and industry-leading project to reshape Jackson’s presence in the c-store market.
Take a look for yourself.
If you would like to see everything in person, find your local Jacksons and experience the tasty goodness for yourself.

Officials warn students about consequences of drug use, violence
No upcoming events scheduled...
For more than an hour on Friday afternoon, a handful of judges and attorneys stood in the Glenn Hills High School cafeteria and talked through a slideshow about drug use and the consequences that often follow.
They dissected lyrics from popular hip-hop songs and calculated the prison sentences each artist could receive from the drug activity they rapped about.
As they spoke, some of the 200 students in the cafeteria stared at the ground, tapping their feet. A few whispered to their friends and laughed under their breath.
But when 23-year-old Darian Postell, fresh out of prison, stood up from the panel table, it took him about one sentence before all 200 students were hushed and listening.
“I’m not too proud of my life,” Postell said. “What have I accomplished except going to jail, having a child and getting a GED? Nothing. I was so caught up hanging out with my friends, getting caught up partying but not staying focused on what’s important.”
Postell, who was convicted in 2010 of burglary and spent four years in prison, talked about starting smoking marijuana when he was 11. The drug had a huge pull on Postell, and it kept him from making any real plans for his life.
He dropped out of high school, earned a solid criminal record, has been out of prison for four months and is trying to set goals for his future.
“I’m the world’s best pot smoker, but what kind of accomplishment is that?” said Postell, who hopes to continue youth outreach. “I want you all to stay focused. Put what’s important first.”
The presentation was part of the Dream Builders of America’s Youth organization’s outreach to help steer teens away from drugs and violence and into careers and education. Co-founder Tanya Jeffords said the program has reached hundreds of young people since its launch in 2002 and continues to work in schools and communities to have a positive influence.
As the dismissal bell rang and students filed out, cutting off the final speaker’s presentation, Glenn Hills junior Malek Hopkins stopped to shake Postell’s hand.
Hopkins said he had never felt someone’s warnings seem so real. Hopkins said at 18 he already has a criminal record and has grown up around people who used drugs. He wants to go to college and “get out of Augusta,” but he’s not quite sure how.
“I thought I was the only person who felt like this,” Hopkins said. “I’ve lost a couple friends to jail. I’ve been to jail, but it’s not what I want. I can really relate a lot.”
Glenn Hills Principal Charles Givens said students like Hopkins are who he was hoping to reach. The 200 chosen to attend were a blend of at-risk students and those on the A-B Honor Roll.
He said he wanted the vulnerable students to get a wake up call about the consequences of drugs and prison while also exposing the on-track students to careers and other successful adults.
“It’s two-fold,” Givens said. “To help those kids about to shipwreck and also those who have dreams to go on and do things and need inspiration.”
Each speaker talked about the paths they took to college and how they fulfilled their dreams. Assistant District Attorney Jared Williams explained the differences between misdemeanors and felonies and the different sentencing lengths for various crimes.
Columbia County Sheriff’s Office Investigator Stephanie Carani defined statutory rape for students, explaining that sex with a girl under 16 is criminal.
Former Juvenile Court Judge Willie Saunders told students he understood it can be draining to have adults telling them what to do, but guaranteed they will never be sorry for listening.
“I’ve sent people to death row, and I’ve gotten them off of death row,” Saunders said. “I’ve been to funerals of young people like you who were shot in the street. I’ve been to church with their mothers. But the vast majority of people I deal with are not bad people, they just make bad decisions.” | <urn:uuid:162ee79a-22f6-4687-828c-e27461de9a59> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://dreambuildersinc.org/news/officials-warn-students-about-consequences-of-drug-use-violence/ | 2023-09-28T17:04:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.975436 | 922 |

Fat injection by BIOFAT stem cells
In the recent years, very good methods and practical techniques for fat injection procedure have been presented to use them as well as the use of very advanced devices to perform this operation in the simplest way, to get the results according to the wishes of the clients in a short time.
Currently, fat injection is one of the most popular procedures available to eliminate wrinkles on the face or volumizing some parts of the face or body. Due to the increasing the applicants and those who are interested in this procedure, several clinics are providing services related to the fat injection, in order to satisfy the clients by using good methods.
Fat injection by BIOFAT stem cells has a lot of uses and is one of the best and most advanced methods available for fat injection, so that it does not cause any side effects and does not leave any scars or inflammation after the operation.
The cost of fat injection by BIOFAT stem cells is very reasonable compared to its results, and given that the result is permanent, and it is not possible to move the injected fat, so many people today use fat injections to solve some problems in their face or body.
What does it mean to inject fat by BIOFAT stem cells?
Many benefits of fat injection are due to the fact that the extracted fat from the body of the person is then injected in the desired area.
In fat injection, one area is the fat donor, and the other area of the recipient, that is, the specialist who performs the fat injection procedure first identifies the area from which the fat is to be extracted. Of course, fat is usually extracted from the sides and abdomen, because it is the best choice and there is more fat in this areas, so if there are no exceptional conditions, the extraction of body fat for most of the people is from this point.ated.
After that, the donor area must be identified, for example, if a person wants to show fat on the cheeks by making them fuller through injecting fat, the cheek is the recipient area. Some people even use fat injections into the chest and buttocks to make their bodies look younger and fitter, in which case these areas are fat receptors.
As a result the fat injection by BIOFAT stem cells means, using the fat of a person’s own body. This is very important that we know, due to the use of body fat of applicants, there will be no allergies and sensitivities after fat injection procedure.
In addition to all the above, after injecting fat by BIOFAT stem cells, the injected fat is absorbed by the body and completely eliminates the possibility of displacement of the injected fat. Therefore, despite of gel injection methods or similar methods, there will be no risk of shifting or losing the desired result after fat injection in this method, and people can enjoy the results permanently.
Use of fat injection for the body
As a result of aging, some parts of the body may suffer from falling and may lose their good appearance, so considering that the fat injection operation is not limited and according to the wishes of the clients, fat injection is performed in any areas that they want.
It is also possible to inject fat into the body
Among the applications of fat injection into the body, we can mention fat injection into the buttocks, breasts and labia, which all these cases is done using very advanced and practical devices, and if needed, the fat injection operation can be repeated, to achieve the desired results completely because it has no side effects and allergies.
Use of fat injection for facial skin
Various factors such as aging or sunlight or genetic factors may cause facial skin to wrinkle and also sagging skin on areas such as the cheeks or forehead.
One of the most sensitive areas of the face is the skin around the eyes, which reacts and wrinkles faster than other areas of the face. To eliminate wrinkles on the skin of the face, you can use fat injection by BIOFAT stem cells to inject wrinkles in specific areas to eliminate wrinkles and also make the skin look younger.
Fat injection is performed without the need for general anesthesia and only with the use of local anesthesia. In this operation, very thin tubes are used to extract or inject fat so that no scars or incisions are left after the operation. There is no age limitation for fat injection and it is performed according to the desire of people in any areas which they want.
The recovery period after the fat injection operation is very short because in addition to causing no side effects, new and excess substance does not enter the body, but their own body fat is injected into the desired areas after preparation and purification.
Therefore, after this procedure, people do not need long rests and can engage in daily activities and observe the results of the operation after a short time.
Injecting fat by BIOFAT stem cells is one of the safest ways to deal with skin or body problems. People can also use this procedure to beautify their face or body. Even with this operation, the skin hollows that caused by genetic factors or multiple pimples, as well as the indentations of the migraine area can be completely elimin.

The world is exploring fossil alternative greener technologies to fuel powered cars and trucks- for example electric battery powered vehicles. Another ‘green’ technology with great potential is hydrogen power. However, a major obstacle has been the size, complexity, and expense of the fuel systems.
Now an international team of researchers, led by Professor David Antonelli Chair in Physical Chemistry at Lancaster University, has discovered a new material made from manganese hydride that offers a solution. The new material would be used to make molecular sieves within fuel tanks – which store the hydrogen and work alongside fuel cells in a hydrogen powered ‘system’.
The material, called KMH-1 (Kubas Manganese Hydride-1), would enable the design of tanks that are far smaller, cheaper, more convenient and energy dense than existing hydrogen fuel technologies, and significantly out-perform battery-powered vehicles.
Professor Antonelli, who has been researching this area for more than 15 years, said: “The cost of manufacturing our material is so low, and the energy density it can store is so much higher than a lithium ion battery, that we could see hydrogen fuel cell systems that cost five times less than lithium ion batteries as well as providing a much longer range – potentially enabling journeys up to around four or five times longer between fill-ups.”
The material takes advantage of a chemical process called Kubas binding which enables the storage of hydrogen by distancing the hydrogen atoms within a H2 molecule and works at room temperature. This eliminates the need to split, and bind, the bonds between atoms, processes that require high energies and extremes of temperature and need complex equipment to deliver.
The KMH-1 material also absorbs and stores any excess energy so external heat and cooling is not needed which eliminates the requirement of cooling and heating equipment in vehicles, resulting in systems with the potential to be far more efficient than existing designs. The researchers’ experiments show that the material could enable the storing four times as much hydrogen in the same volume as existing hydrogen fuel technologies. This will provide vehicle manufactures with the flexibility to design vehicles with increased range of up to four times, or allow them to reduce the size of the tanks by up to a factor of four.
Although vehicles, including cars and heavy goods vehicles, are the most obvious application, the researchers believe there are many other applications for KMH-1.
According to Professor Antonelli, “This material can also be used in portable devices such as drones or within mobile chargers so people could go on week-long camping trips without having to recharge their devices. The real advantage this brings is in situations where you anticipate being off grid for long periods of time, such as long haul truck journeys, drones, and robotics. It could also be used to run a house or a remote neighbourhood off a fuel cell.”
The properties of our new material also make hydrogen fuel cells an attractive alternative to lithium batteries in some applications, especially those involving long ranges.
The technology has already been licensed by the University of South Wales to a spin-out company called Kubagen, partly owned by Professor Antonelli.

Cravings are among the banes of weight loss, often causing people to binge and then feel regret. If you have struggled with cravings amid your fast weight loss journey with Phentermine 37.5mg, review what experts suggest to banish them for good.
Delay, Don’t Deny
Let cravings go by with this trick: telling yourself you’ll enjoy the desired food later.
“Instead of giving in right away, tell yourself that it’s okay to wait,” says Melissa Mitri, RD. Often, this helps to reduce the likelihood of spontaneous eating in the moment. Plus, when you know you can have it at a later time, it becomes less urgent.”
Understand Why They Happen
The more you know about cravings, the easier it will be to beat them.
“When we haven’t eaten for a while, our bodies crave foods that are high in fat and sugar because fat is the most efficient source of energy, and sugar is quickly absorbed by the body,” explains Dena Gershkovich, RDN. People make the mistake of restricting food and avoiding even nutritious between-meal snacks in an attempt to lose weight, but “the best way to avoid cravings is to prevent your hunger from building too much by eating regularly throughout the day.”
Always Eat Breakfast
Make certain you eat something healthy for breakfast every day.
“Breakfast helps you start your day right and regulate blood sugar levels into the morning hours which also limits cravings later in the day,” says nutritionist Jamie Hickey, RD.
Enjoy a Cup of Tea
Tea can help you say no to cravings.
“Tea helps comfort and calm a hungry stomach while also hydrating the body so it feels full,” says clinical nutritionist Christina Towle. She suggests teas with “adaptogens that add an extra boost of botanicals that satisfy the body without calories.” | <urn:uuid:49b6bec7-6dab-4bee-8697-236ee7b1c2ad> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://drtohelp.com/4-ways-to-banish-cravings-according-to-experts/ | 2023-09-28T18:28:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.950411 | 419 |

There is as much thought and effort required in having a healthy and successful marriage as planning the wedding ceremony and court marriage in Dubai. Success in marriage doesn’t come merely through meeting the right person. It’s through being your partner’s right mate.
What are the secrets of successful marriages in the UAE?
The essentials for a happy, healthy, and successful marriage in UAE are:
Relationships don’t work if there isn’t time that is invested. Never have and never will. For any successful relationship, it requires quality and intentional time together. Quality time will rarely happen if quantity time is also absent.
A relationship with your partner has to be intimate and the deepest relationship that you have. It is, therefore, going to require lots of time compared to any of your other relationships. Set aside time every single day, if possible, that is solely for your spouse. A date night in a Dubai restaurant once a week would not hurt either.
If you have questions for marriage attorneys in Dubai, call us here in Court Marriage today!
Healthy spouses communicate. They certainly discuss the schedules of the kids, utility bills, and grocery bills. They don’t just stop there, too. They also communicate their dreams, hopes, anxieties, and fears. They don’t just mention the changes that take place with the life of their kids. They also discuss changes that are taking place within their own minds, hearts, and souls.
This essential key can’t be overlooked. This is because forthright and honest communication is the foundation for a lot of other things like trust, patience, and commitment.
Although it’ll never show on any survey, a lot of marriages end in divorce by selfishness. Surveys often blame the failure of the marriage on lack of commitment, finances, incompatibility, and infidelity. However, the root cause of most of the reasons why marriages fail is selfishness. Selfish people are committed only to themselves. They also show little patience. What’s more, they never learn the ways of being the right spouse. Share your dreams, life, and hopes with your partner so you can begin living life together.

Patience and Forgiveness
Because no one in this world is absolutely perfect. That being said, patience and forgiveness should always be among the requirements of a marriage. Successful marriages in Dubai and across the globe involve couples that show patience and forgiveness with each other. They’re humble enough that they admit their faults, plus they don’t expect their partners to be perfect. They don’t bring up any past error just to hold the spouse hostage.
They don’t also seek in getting revenge for mistakes that occurred in the past. If you personally are currently holding onto a past hurt that was inflicted by your partner, then forgive. It’s going to set both your relationship and your heart free.
Trust and honesty
Both trust and honesty are the foundation of everything that’s in successful marriages. Unlike the majority of other essentials that are in this article, it is trust that takes a lot of time. It is possible for you to become committed, patient, and selfless in a moment. However, trust will take time always. Trust is only developed after weeks, months, or even years. Start now as it takes time. If you need or feel you need to rebuild the trust between you and your spouse, then you have to work a lot harder.
We all have our own weaknesses. Relationships always reveal faults as well, and much quicker in comparison to anything else in this world. A key building block for happy marriages in UAE isn’t a smooth court marriage in Dubai or the most lavish wedding ceremony. It is the ability in admitting you’re not perfect, you need forgiveness, and that you also make mistakes. Thinking that you are superior over your spouse will only bring forth resentment between the two of you. You will also prevent the relationship from moving towards success and growth.
Should you have an issue in this area, quickly grab a pencil. Write down the three things that your partner does incredibly and better than you. This simple exercise will help you in staying humble. If necessary, repeat as often.
It’s more than just with our bodies. This also includes faithfulness with our mind, heart, eyes, and soul. Whenever we devote the mind to having fantasies about a different person, faithfulness to the spouse is sacrificed. Guard yourself and devote yourself entirely to your partner. It will require awareness and self-discipline, but a successful marriage and partnership is always worth the effort.
A successful, happy, and healthy marriage in UAE is more valuable and fulfilling than more temporal things that we chase in our lives. It’ll always last a lot longer, too. | <urn:uuid:452a8cae-e60b-43f7-8cd7-05164025191d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://dubaicourtmarriage.com/blog/successful-marriage-uae/ | 2023-09-28T17:04:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.960386 | 1,025 |
…the stranger followed a roundabout path towards our farmer’s market booth.
People are shaped by their surroundings. In our high desert home, the seasons and weather patterns dovetail seamlessly with dry canyons, rimrock and juniper trees. Personal space begins at a fence line and neighbors are listed high on the ledger’s asset side.
We raise sheep and goats on a small and remote ranch. Years back, part of our living came from selling meat at farmer’s markets. Direct access to lots of customers is the best, and worst, part of selling our products that way.
On one hand, many people are sincerely interested. They asked tons of questions about how we raise our animals. On the other, we grew tired of folks like the woman who stood in front of our booth, loudly declaring: “I became a vegetarian because I couldn’t possibly eat anything I’ve read about in a nursery rhyme!”
While most folks are better grounded in their dietary decisions, we discovered an unintended consequence of the bi-weekly journey outside our comfort zone. We attracted other people who were also shaped by the land.
He stopped by the market that summer with a good-looking stockdog and cut a rambling path through the crowd toward our booth. The dog was obviously more comfortable in a crowded livestock pen than surrounded by a hundred people with their excitable children.
Our conversation gravitated to the open space of the desert and good stock dogs we’d known. A few weeks later, I ran into him again. He was training horses for a dude ranch.
“This job isn’t much,” he told me, “but it suits me better than construction.”
I smiled, wished him luck and haven’t seen him since.
That’s the way of the desert: Those who don’t own land drift like wind-driven tumbleweeds seeking their own peace in the huge spaces between people.
Another time, we spoke with a cowboy who’d sought a regular paycheck doing construction work in the big city. He’d injured himself and decided he’d better get back to what he loves on the land before his hard-working days are done.
Stopping by our booth, he told us he’d been hired to work cattle on one of our local ranches. He was glad to return to what he knew. As we spoke, his smile lit our booth like a welcoming lantern on a dark night.
At another market, we spotted a fellow in the food court. Standing back and scanning the crowd with his eyes, his gaze kept returning to our booth. A circuitous route soon had him standing in front of us.
He was a teacher by trade and newly posted to our area. However, he was born and raised by sheep and cattle people deep in the Great Basin. We laughed and joked about people and places we’d known. We cussed and discussed good stock dogs, silly horses and slightly south-of-docile cattle.
After annoying the neighboring booths with our antics for the better part of an hour, we figured we’d better get back to earning a living. The teacher/cowboy walked out of the market, distance in his eyes. We’ve not seen him since.
Farmer’s markets are no longer a part of our income flow. We’ve found other ways to make a living and challenge our perspectives from outside our comfort zone. However, when we’re in that uncomfortable region, it’s a pleasure bumping into someone who’s been shaped by the land.

A sportsbook is a place where people can make bets on a variety of sporting events. The betting lines are clearly labeled, so bettors can pick and choose which bets they want to make. Some people prefer to bet on favored teams, but others enjoy the thrill of placing a bet on an underdog team.
The sportsbook will also have a number of different payment options, including credit cards. Many offer their own branded Play+ cards, while some accept PayPal and Skrill. Most will also allow you to deposit funds via an online bank transfer. Some even accept wire transfers and e-checks.
Before you bet at a sportsbook, make sure you read the rules carefully. Most will have their own stipulations regarding the minimum and maximum bet amounts, as well as how much you can win per week. You should also look for a site that offers a wide range of promotions and bonuses. If possible, try to use a pay-per-head (PPH) solution, which can help you maximize your profits.
In addition to traditional sportsbooks, there are several online ones that offer a wide range of betting options. Some of these sites have built-in live streaming and allow customers to place wagers in real time. These websites are great for people who have busy schedules and cannot find the time to travel to a physical sportsbook.
Among these online sportsbooks, DraftKings is one of the most popular. Its app is available in most states and supports a variety of betting markets, including Aussie Rules, baseball, basketball, boxing, cricket, football, golf, handball, hockey, horse racing, MMA, motorsports, pool, rugby league, rugby union, soccer, tennis, and volleyball. It also accepts bets on esports and entertainment events such as the Academy Awards in some states.
One of the biggest edges that bettors have versus the sportsbooks is their ability to predict winning teams. However, this is difficult to do because of the inherent variance in gambling. Therefore, professional bettors prize a metric known as closing line value. If a bettors’ wagers on an opening line close at better odds than they were opened, then they are likely to show long-term profit.
Another factor that influences the odds on a game is its venue, especially when it comes to home and away games. Some teams perform much better at home than they do on the road, and sportsbooks will work this into their point spread and moneyline odds. This will also be reflected in the betting limits for each side. These factors can be a huge advantage for bettors, but they must be aware of their limitations. This can lead to big losses if they are not careful. | <urn:uuid:982f58d8-2dab-436c-9be5-da9d3a705338> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://dutonc.com/what-to-look-for-in-a-sportsbook-3/ | 2023-09-28T17:34:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.973112 | 553 |

Alien-hunting AI discovers dozens of mysterious fast radio bursts
Researchers with Breakthrough Listen said on September 10, 2018, that they’ve now used artificial intelligence, AI, to discover 72 new fast radio bursts from a mysterious source some 3 billion light-years from Earth. The source is a known “repeater” of fast radio bursts – the only such object known to date – called FRB 121102.
Fast radio bursts, aka FRBs, are bright pulses of radio emission, lasting just milliseconds. They’re thought to originate in distant galaxies.
Most FRBs are one-offs, but this source – FRB 121102 – emits repeated bursts. FRB 121102 emitted 21 bursts previously detected during Breakthrough Listen observations made in 2017 with the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia. Now – using AI – astronomers have found 72 more.
What are these mysterious bursts? Previous studies showed the bursts from 121102 emanating from a galaxy 3 billion light-years from Earth. Beyond that, we don’t know much about the source. Theories range from highly magnetized neutron stars, blasted by gas streams near to a supermassive black hole, to suggestions that the burst properties are consistent with signatures of technology developed by an advanced civilization.
The 72 newly discovered FRBs are not about new observations. They’re about new and more powerful data-analysis techniques, made possible by artificial intelligence.
The statement from Breakthrough Initiatives continued:
In search of a deeper understanding of this intriguing object, the Listen science team at the University of California, Berkeley SETI Research Center observed FRB 121102 for five hours on August 26, 2017, using the Breakthrough Listen digital instrumentation at the [Green Bank Observatory]. Combing through 400 TB [terabytes] of data, they reported … a total of 21 bursts.
All were seen within one hour, suggesting that the source alternates between periods of quiescence and frenzied activity.
Now, UC Berkeley Ph.D. student Gerry Zhang and collaborators have developed a new, powerful machine learning algorithm, and reanalyzed the 2017 GBT dataset, finding an additional 72 bursts that were not detected originally.
Zhang’s team used some of the same techniques that internet technology companies use to optimize search results and classify images. They trained an algorithm known as a convolutional neural network to recognize bursts found with the classical search method … and then set it loose on the 400 TB dataset to find bursts that the classical approach missed.
Gerry Zhang said:
This work is only the beginning of using these powerful methods to find radio transients. We hope our success may inspire other serious endeavors in applying machine learning to radio astronomy.
Bottom line: Breakthrough Listen astronomers used AI (artificial intelligence) to find 72 repeating, short, unpredictable radio bursts from a mysterious source known as FRB 1211023, located some 3 billion light years away. | <urn:uuid:cca6dfcf-cf54-480e-9952-3ee0991bea49> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://earthsky.org/space/alien-hunting-ai-fast-radio-bursts-breakthrough-listen/?utm_source=EarthSky+News&utm_campaign=d470e00ba0-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_02_02_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_c643945d79-d470e00ba0-394348597 | 2023-09-28T17:40:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.919362 | 607 |
Astronomers have much to celebrate in the International Year of Light and Light-Based Technologies (IYL). Until the 1930s, every scrap of information about the universe came to us in the form of light.
Admittedly, once radio telescopes began to make the first inroads into the invisible regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, the game changed. Today, there’s no portion of that universal hum of radiation that is off-limits to ground- or space-based telescopes. But optical astronomy – the old-fashioned kind, using visible light – still reigns supreme.
Today’s optical astronomers are able to glean the most astonishing information from starlight. For example, with exotic calibration tools like iodine cells and laser combs, they can measure a star’s speed with a precision better than one metre per second – a slow walking pace.
Over time, this miniscule Doppler shift can reveal the existence of orbiting exoplanets by the wobble they induce on their parent stars. More exciting still are the possibilities offered by the coming generation of Extremely Large Telescopes, which will boast mirrors larger than 20 metres in diameter.
Within the next ten years, astronomers will have the capability not only to see the distant exoplanets directly, but also to detect signatures of life in their atmospheres. The discovery of any such biomarkers would profoundly alter the way we see ourselves, and our place in space.
With optical astronomy on the brink of a new golden age, it’s no idle boast that the sky is, indeed, the limit.
The threat to the night sky
But that’s the problem. In optical astronomy, the sky really is the limit. When astronomers observe celestial objects, they see them superimposed on the natural luminous background of the night sky.
The Earth’s rarefied upper atmosphere contributes to this, as its air molecules relax after a hard day in the sun. There’s also light from sunlit dust in the solar system, together with a faint background of light from myriad distant stars and galaxies. Pushing to observe ever-fainter celestial bodies, astronomers are sometimes measuring objects whose brightness is only one percent greater than the natural night-time skyglow.
So you can easily imagine what happens if the night sky is polluted by artificial light from towns, cities and industrial complexes. The faint objects simply disappear. For this reason, astronomers site their giant telescopes well away from centres of population.
Australia’s national observatory, for example – a A$100 million infrastructure investment – is located at Siding Spring Mountain in the Warrumbungle Range, 350km from Sydney. But due to the scattering of light by the Earth’s atmosphere, remoteness is no guarantee of darkness, and from Siding Spring, the glow of Sydney can clearly be seen on the horizon.
That light-scattering process turns out to be much more efficient for the blue component of light than for its red component. That’s why the sky is blue; sunlight’s blue constituent is very effectively scattered in all directions. But the same is true for artificial light. Light with a high blue content (think of those intense white LED headlights now seen everywhere on our roads) makes a bigger contribution to light pollution than warmer, cream-coloured light.
Is this all about astronomy?
No, it’s not just astronomers who fall victim to light pollution. Many nocturnal animal species – principally birds and insects – are disturbed by the skyglow of cities, sometimes resulting in large numbers of fatalities.
Recent studies suggest that in the US, up to a billion birds are killed each year by becoming disoriented by city lights. And the poster child of the dark-sky movement is the loggerhead turtle, whose hatchlings are confused by urban lighting as they seek the lines of surf that mark their route to a safe ocean habitat.
Research shows that humans, too, can suffer debilitating effects from an excessively bright nocturnal environment, with shift workers at particular risk. The recent discovery of a third light-sensing system in the human eye (a layer of ganglion cells in front of the retina) links the secretion of the sleep-inducing hormone melatonin to an absence of light.
A new study suggests that while humans in the pre-industrial world probably didn’t sleep any more than we do, the longer periods of darkness they experienced led to more restorative sleep.
Moreover, the artificial light available to our forebears was always the orange light of a flame, rather than the daylight-mimicking lighting available today. Used at the wrong time – for example, late at night – such blue-rich illumination can seriously disrupt circadian rhythms.
Perhaps the most compelling reason for taking a good look at light pollution is the cost of waste upward light, its effect on both the hip pocket and the atmosphere. Light fittings that are meant to illuminate surfaces such as roadways, sportsgrounds, parking lots and building facades often have a high upward component, sometimes putting more than 40 percent of their output into the night sky.
Even the humble backyard light is frequently tilted to extend its area of coverage, causing a high proportion of its light to radiate uselessly upwards. It’s estimated that in the US alone, upward light-spill from all these sources wastes some US$3.3 billion annually, with a resulting greenhouse gas emission from fossil fuels of about 21 million tonnes CO? equivalent.
Dark sky places
Not surprisingly, it is observatories that have led the crusade against light pollution. The peak advocacy body for good outdoor lighting – the International Dark Sky Association (IDA) – had its origins in the 1980s, when astronomers at major US observatories became alarmed by night-sky degradation. Large telescopes are major investments and need complete freedom from light pollution.
But the IDA is not just for astronomers – it’s for everyone. And so, the association has launched its International Dark Sky Places program, which recognises the planet’s accessible, pristine skies. A handful have qualified worldwide. The IDA also acknowledges communities with “exceptional dedication to the preservation of the night sky”.
Our national observatory at Siding Spring is close to the beautiful Warrumbungle National Park. It is already a dark site, protected by state legislation, and an obvious candidate for Australia’s first IDA-recognised Dark Sky Park. With support from local communities and the National Parks and Wildlife Service, the Siding Spring Observatory is working towards that recognition.
Prospects for improvement
There are some in the dark sky lobby who are driven to despair by the spread of urban and industrial lighting, but my own view is more optimistic. Yes, we have cities with high levels of upward light-spill, but they are largely a product of a bygone era, when lighting was designed with no thought for the environment.
Today’s outdoor lighting designers are gifted with an extraordinary array of light sources, such as LEDs, that are eminently controllable in direction, colour and intensity, allowing them to create efficient, effective and elegant lighting without contaminating the night sky.
A recent meeting of lighting designers at Sydney Observatory sent out a clear message – to make a city beautiful and safe, you don’t need to light up absolutely everything.
Astronomers and dark sky advocates have no wish to see city streetscapes turned into dim and uninteresting places. It’s the direct upward light-spill that is the problem, and that can be mitigated by the use of properly shielded lighting. If it also has a low blue-content, so much the better – for both the environment and ourselves.
With growing environmental awareness, there’s also public support for a reduction in waste light, with its consequent greenhouse footprint. I believe the cities of the future will be less polluting than those of today in every respect – including their artificial sky-glow.
The real challenge is winning the hearts and minds of everyone concerned with outdoor lighting. That’s one reason why I’m so enthusiastic about the IYL – it’s a great opportunity to publicise the best of modern sky-friendly lighting design.
And, yes, one of the principal legacy items of this International Year of Light might, indeed, turn out to be darkness. Just enough darkness to enable all of us to reconnect with the starry skies of our marvellous country. | <urn:uuid:8c84fd6f-d7a1-4026-b41e-6dba2b115043> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://earthsky.org/space/darkness-is-disappearing/?utm_source=EarthSky+News&utm_campaign=7d79fa2dee-EarthSky_News&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_c643945d79-7d79fa2dee-394348597 | 2023-09-28T18:03:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.928891 | 1,759 |

I am currently on a whole new adventure in the Philippines. Visiting my 24th country and half way around the world, I have been blown away by the landscapes and hospitality of the Filipino culture.
One of my first island stops was in Bohol. Known for the chocolate hills and Tarsiers, this island was incredible and should be on the top of everyone’s list looking to visit.
Here are my top experiences you should have when you visit Bohol:
- Visit the Chocolate Hills – while the hills are not chocolate colored right now, they do turn a chocolate color at a different time of the year – right now they are lush green. There are more than 1200+ hills and you can see as far as the eyes will allow. They look like small round shaped hills, or as my tour guide said “women’s breasts.” He was right and did not say it offensively – it was his best way of describing them and he did well.
- See the Tarsiers – these cute little animals are nocturnal and sleep during the day. If you happen to find one with their eyes open you can see just how cute they are!
- Take in a sunset – I mean, you are in a Paradise!
- Visit the oldest church – The Church of Baclayon – The church is being renovated as it sustained major damage during an earthquake in 2013. You can still go inside and see how magnificent the alter is, which didn’t suffer any damage at all. It’s quite spectacular really.
- Try UBE – jam, gelato, anything – UBE is where its at! Filipinos have taken this purple yam that is sweet and made it into all kinds of desserts. This is one thing you should not pass up.
- Take a lunch boat cruise on the Loboc River – Buffet style dining on this man made boat that takes you down the Loboc River while listening to live music and seeing gorgeous views of the lake. This was one of my favorite things to experience in Bohol. The river is this stunning color of green and the food was delicious.
- Visit Panglao Beach – with its white sand and glistening hues of blue and turquoise it will be easy to spend a day or two here
- Visit the Butterfly Garden
- Bohol can be reached by flight – I flew with Philippines Airline through Manila and it was about $75 each way
- Finding a tour guide for the day will not be hard – but book in advance to secure a spot with someone
- The day tours are ALL day – pack good walking shoes and be prepared for stairs | <urn:uuid:8d01853b-9aaa-4fe8-af39-c14526b17385> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://eatlivetraveldrink.com/2016/10/11/experiences-to-have-in-bohol-philippines/ | 2023-09-28T18:40:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.964485 | 554 |
**For consulting rates and info, please email me at : email@example.com**
Yes, I do get paid to travel the world, stay in some of the best hotels around the globe and to eat.. and so can you! I’ll be completely honest – I make 6+ figures annually doing what I LOVE. The money is just a bonus – but there is plenty of room online for anyone to make money.
If you are wondering if now is a good time to start, the answer is YES! Even though a lot of the world is locked down right now, companies are still throwing money at people for promotions and I am still traveling – safely of course.
My sessions are not limited to travelers. My concepts apply to any type of blogger/social media influencer or anyone just getting started. BILLIONS of dollars are put into social media advertising, so why shouldn’t YOU get some of it?
As a blogger and social media user, starting my business I had no help from anyone. I am a one woman show- from traveling, blogging, posting on social media channels, web design, graphic design, emails, meetings, photography, engaging my community, being savvy at business, etc – I had to learn it all by myself. I grew my company in just a few short months to allow me to travel the world full-time. No one helped me and I did not take any courses – it was a lot of trial and error, and error, and error.
Let me help you take the trial and error out of the way and get right down to business so you can become a social media rock star and/or blogging guru and achieve your dreams.
No matter if you are a business or a budding entrepreneur – I can help you take your business to the next level or create a business that can thrive. You just have to be willing to put in the work.
After I finished my MBA, I was able to focus on my business and really make it profitable. You don’t need an MBA to make money but I can show you how to streamline your business and create multiple revenues of income.

Faculty of Agricultural Economics and Rural Development
The Faculty of Agricultural Economics and Rural Development was established in 2013 at the EXIM Bank Agricultural University Bangladesh, Chapainawabganj to support the development process of the Northern region of the country and to produce quality agricultural economics graduates needed for transforming agriculture of the region as well as the country. The faculty will generate and disseminate knowledge on the agricultural economics discipline and related fields of science with a view to strengthening the economic development of our country as a whole. The Faculty consists of five Departments, namely Agricultural Economics, Agribusiness Management, Agricultural Finance & Cooperative, Statistics and Rural Development. One of major objectives of the faculty is to produce trained manpower in order to cater the increasing needs for agricultural economics graduates in the public and private sector as well as non-governmental organizations (NGOs) involved in overall development of the country. The need for skilled and trained manpower in an agro-based developing country like Bangladesh is essential to keep pace with the development process. Recognizing the complexities in the socioeconomic setting of rural areas and technological advancement in agricultural sector, the curricula of this faculty is designed to include multidisciplinary courses including agricultural science.
We have full-time faculty members with excellent academic background. Many of us have collaborative research projects with renowned agricultural economists and have been trusted by national and international organizations to conduct research in Bangladesh. The faculty is well-equipped with teaching facility, library, and computer laboratory for excellent learning of economic theories while emphasizing on practical applications for local and international agricultural development. | <urn:uuid:4a36671f-e1c5-49f7-83a3-5af1b9896a6e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://ebaub.ac.bd/facultypages/agriecon/agriecon.html | 2023-09-28T18:17:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.945821 | 316 |
Produced and mixed by Mike Mogis (Phoebe Bridgers, Bright Eyes, Cursive), Janzen transitions comfortably into the bigger sound, and creates a fine-tuned sound that’s a little bit folk, a little bit rock, but not at all forced—it feels like she’s found exactly where her literal and lyrical voice is meant to flourish.”
“The powerful simplicity of a voice, a guitar, a restrained melody and a raw emotion has been rediscovered by songwriters like Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers and now Taylor Janzen.”
– Jon Pareles, The New York Times
With her stunningly sparse melodies and minimalistic guitar riffs, 19-year-old Taylor Janzen may seem softly spoken, but her staggering lyrical narrative and deeply personal writing sends a resounding message.
The Winnipeg artist garnered praise from the New York Times with her debut EP, “Interpersonal“, which was mastered by Greg Calbi (Julien Baker, Arcade Fire, Big Thief), and co-produced by Taylor.
Today, she returns with “New Mercies” – a song that sees Taylor embrace a bigger, fuller sound and was produced/mixed by Mike Mogis (Cursive, Phoebe Bridgers, Bright Eyes). With folk-twinged riffs and an unabashedly post-punk backbone, “New Mercies” has an underlying sense of frustration that sees the Canadian artist grapple with her disconnection with spirituality.
She explains, “I wrote New Mercies as a way to entertain my cynicism a little bit. I was feeling really spiritually lost (honestly when am I not?) and that’s what the song is about… a deep disconnect between my spiritual self and the faith I grew up with and trying to find something to bring them together somehow. This is also my first song being released with a full band and recorded in a real studio as opposed to a bedroom. Having a band really helped capture the frantic and frustrated energy of the lyrics and overall vibe of the song.”
Taylor had a religious upbringing in Winnipeg, attending a small school up until graduation. Her family and friends and those around her never talked to one another about difficult things they were experiencing in life, and if they ever needed help, they turned to religion for answers.
Unable to talk through her issues in mental health, Taylor turned to songwriting as an outlet and, as a result, with each song we’re granted an intimate and almost painstakingly brazen glimpse into the most heart-wrenching pages of her diary. She writes candidly, musing that, “the music that I write is very honest, so it speaks for itself.”
“The thing is, my personality isn’t as depressing as my music is,” adds Taylor. Often tweeting about Dennis Quaid, her cat Rory Gilmore and the occasional Paramore cover (one of which went viral with 25k+ retweets and got the endorsement from Hayley Williams herself), every little thing Taylor shares with the world is magic, shining a light and finding beauty in even the darkest, and seemingly mundane moments.
With 2018 wrapping up as a banner year for the artist, 2019 looks to be much the same, with Taylor gearing up to release her sophomore EP, as well as performing as an official artist at SXSW and an appearance at Shaky Knees Festival in May 2019. | <urn:uuid:1120dd4d-c05e-4ad0-8c47-1ae6400e350a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://ec2-3-135-56-97.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com/news/music-news/sad-song-enthusiast-taylor-janzen-finds-herself-in-new-mercies-new-song-premiering-on-nylon-performing-at-shaky-knees-fest-sxsw-2019/ | 2023-09-28T17:58:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.968192 | 728 |
I am getting zero record counts and no data is displayed, or my data is simply crazy.
Trimalyzer was designed to be a general purpose tool for common CSV data. I have a perfectly standards-obedient CSV parser, and I expect CSV files to follow certain rules, such as:
- Columns of data line up with their header field
- The number of header columns matches the number of data fields
- Commas are used for field separation only, unless they are contained within double quotes
Unfortunately, some software doesn’t follow these rules. If a file is loaded with bad CSV formatting, lines may be rejected or loaded incorrectly.
Other bugs may exist in CSV files, one example is older versions of Scan9495 which used incorrect line endings (MacOS style). The creator of Scan9495 fixed the flaw and it works fine now.
ALDLDroid also breaks with CSV file format tradition and has more columns in the header than it does in the data section. I have added temporary workarounds until these issues are fixed, but some users still find their files do not load due to other problems, and these workarounds may increase the chance of errors in other files not being caught properly.
The best thing to do is to load your data into your favorite spreadsheet program and make sure all of the columns line up. If they don’t, you can correct them there and re-export the data.
If the format seems correct, please let me know and I will try to help figure it out.
Can I load logs from two different tools simultaneously?
Why doesn’t MAF mode have the same awesome functionality as VE mode?
Not enough demand or time on my part.
How do the different analysis modes work?
For the following examples, I will use a very simple log which shows:
- -20.3% trim at 950 rpm and 24 map
- +9.4% trim at 1399 rpm and 33 map
- +0% trim at 2000 rpm and 21 map
Strict cell works somewhat like a spreadsheet analyzer. Data is averaged strictly into the cells where the data point exists.
It may still allow data to enter two cells if the data is exactly on a cell boundary, though, as in this example where we have an event exactly at 2000 rpm.
This works a lot like strict cell mode, but allows data to count towards the average in more than one cell if the data is close enough to the edge (kind of like the BLM cell hysteresis in GM ECMs…)
For example, here we have data that is almost in the middle of the map and rpm axis, so it spreads to the surrounding cells.
This may seem like it would produce bad results, but in reality with larger logs, the averaging will build a much smoother and more realistic trim map than with ‘strict cell’ mode.
The amount of looseness is configurable in “Advanced Settings”
After scaling the table so it becomes more square (as obviously RPM and MAP are at dramatically different scales), each cell establishes a dynamic relationship with each data point based both on distance and magnitude of the trim event.
It also uses low and high pass filtering, so effectively events at a great distance are rejected completely, but events at a close distance are taken at full magnitude.
For example, a massive trim event such as 20% rich will spread throughout a larger region of the table, on the assumption that such a large error definitely covers more cells, but a small 2% trim will probably localize itself within the closest cell.
This method will appear to interpolate areas of the table with no direct data based on likely patterns and assumptions, and is very useful for real-world tuning where some areas of the table are likely unreachable.
With large data sets it is extremely effective, but it does depend on a ‘sane’ base VE table to make good choices (something with some decently smooth curvature)
What do the target/max/min settings do, and when would I use them?
The target basically skews the trim corrections against a richer or leaner target. Some people would like their trims to start slightly rich then allow the ECM to lean itself out (this isn’t a bad idea) so setting the target to -3% or so would eventually result in a VE table that is 3% rich.
Max Adj. is good for tuning more unstable ECMs, or for people that just like to take their time. Setting a max adj. value of 10% will only allow changes up to 10% at a time.
Min Adj. is the minimum value that is considered worthy of change. For example, a 0.5% trim adjustment is pointless to make, and it’s likely the next run would just push it back up 0.5% again. I recommend a minimum adjustment of 1%, but perhaps higher values would be a good idea during initial VE table building.
What if my special field name isn’t detected? What if a true/false condition doesn’t work due to a strange label in my data like “yep” instead of “enabled”?
Trimalyzer uses a compiled-in, hard coded dictionary file for both auto-detection and true/false identifiers.
You can view that dictionary file here: https://github.com/resfilter/trimalyzer/blob/master/dictionary.txt
If you place a dictionary file in the same directory that Trimalyzer.exe is run from, it will override the built in dictionary completely.
A few points for your custom dictionary updates:
- Edit at your own risk
- Never change the first word of a dictionary line
- The values are not case sensitive
- The dictionary has weak error checking, so placing odd values in it may cause Trimalyzer to crash
- If you need a comma within a field, you can quote the string like “comma,ok” and it should work.
- If you find a common ADX field that isn’t in my dictionary, you’re somewhat obligated to provide the changes so I can incorporate it, and other users can benefit.
Does it analyze wideband data?
- Set ‘Trim Bank A’ to your wideband data column (and also bank B if you have dual widebands)
- Disable the ‘INT Bank A’ and ‘INT Bank B’ fields by setting them to -None- This is unnecessary if you’re using BETA 0.9 or newer, as it will always ignore the integrator values in arbitrary input mode!
- Set ‘Trim Input Type’ to ‘Arbitrary’
- Alter your filters (in fact for open loop tuning, the only filter you might want is ‘Coolant Temp > 60c’ or something like that
You can analyze pure WOT data like that too, just filter for ‘power enrichment is true’, and build a special table with only a couple MAP columns.
The ‘Arbitrary’ trim type restricts the analyzer’s operation a little bit, since some features don’t make sense if we aren’t calculating a trim.
How do filters work?
Any record that matches a filter is considered viable trim data.
These are designed so all of your data can be dumped into trimalyzer and you filter out the bad data, avoiding the time required to find closed loop, non power enrichment, reasonable coolant temp data we want for tuning.
Example filters that are a good idea:
- Coolant temp is reasonable (above thermostat temperature?)
- Closed loop is enabled
- Acceleration enrichment not enabled
- Throttle position above 1%
- Vehicle speed above 2 MPH
Every vehicle is different, and you must review your logs to see what kind of parameters your ECM generates when the trim data is stable and realistic.
For “True” or “False”, your data must be named as one of the following:
After analyzing, see the “Parser Log” tab, where a filter list will show you which filters are affecting your data.
When you find good filters, simply press ‘Remember’ and they can be recalled next time.
Filters do not affect knock mapping. | <urn:uuid:7c46e6e2-3c18-414a-af21-9d32ff656aa0> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://ecmhack.com/trimalyzer/trimalyzer-faq/ | 2023-09-28T16:44:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.908204 | 1,864 |
The Canada/US Electric Vehicle Market:
Navigating the Road Ahead
Thomas Feltmate, Senior Economist | 416-944-5730
Date Published: November 19, 2020
- Electric vehicles continue to gain global market share, though uptake in Canada and the US has been noticeably slower compared to other leading markets including China and Europe. Several reasons are to blame, including less generous government subsides, lack of charging infrastructure, and limited model selection.
- Price remains a key barrier to sales, with electric vehicles still costing anywhere from $10,000-$20,000 USD more than comparable gasoline models. However, significant enhancements in battery technology has brought electric vehicle prices down considerably in recent years. This trend is expected to continue, with price parity potentially being reached as early as 2022/23.
- COVID-19 helped to erase more than a third of global car sales through the first four months of the year. The electric market has held up comparatively better, owing to its specific consumer demographic and targeted fiscal support measures enacted in China and select European countries. Similar programs should be considered in both Canada and the US to further the rotation to electrification and facilitate the sales of electric vehicles across the income spectrum.
- Electrification will not be limited to just the passenger vehicle segment. Commercial purposes including transit and delivery vehicles are already gaining in popularity. Just recently, the Canadian federal government committed $1.5B to purchase 5,000 zero-emission buses and further enhance charging infrastructure by 2025.
Technological advancements have occurred rapidly over the last several decades, and perhaps one of the most notable areas of development has been the automotive sector. Electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids (EVs) have made significant inroads to the retail market in recent years and are expected to gain significantly more market share over the coming decade. Continued innovations in battery development alongside further model diversification will help to not only better align EV prices to comparable internal combustion engine (ICE) models, but also provide the consumer with an equivalent amount of model selection – helping to better level the playing field over the medium-term.
How Successful Have Electric Vehicles Been in Penetrating the Global Market?
Electric vehicles have been around for over 20 years, but consumer uptake of these vehicles has been relatively slow. Global EV sales last year were 2.1 million units, up 3.8% from the year prior (Chart 1). While the gains were by no means a breakneck pace, EVs performed far better than the entire market, which was lower by 4.3% (Chart 2). Despite outpacing overall vehicle sales, EVs accounted for just 3% of total sales in Canada and 2% in the US. Even in China, which accounts for slightly more than half of the global EV market, sales only amount to 5% of the country’s total annual sales (Chart 3). One notable exception has been Norway, where EV popularity has been the highest among all other developed nations – accounting for 55% of annual sales in 2019 and continuing to grow through 2020. Much of Norway’s success in consumer uptake has been the result of favorable government incentive programs, including large reductions in the purchase price through subsidization as well as road tax reductions of up to 90%. Additional incentives include breaks on parking, toll fees and ferry charges. While Norway’s incentive programs are by far the most generous in the world, other European countries including Iceland (23%), Netherlands (15%), Sweden (11%) and Finland (7%) have followed a similar roadmap and have also seen a noticeable increase in EV demand in recent years.
Previous Headwinds Appear to Be Abating
Despite the recent gains, EVs still represent a very small piece of the overall pie, accounting for just 2.7% of global car sales. The relatively slow adoption reflects a host of factors, but perhaps the most obvious has been cost. Despite the many innovations, EVs still carry a high upfront price tag, with most models costing anywhere from $10,000-$20,000 USD more than the comparable ICE model. Indeed, the price differential is somewhat narrowed after factoring in government subsides and other costs of ownership, though in most cases, this alone does not close the price gap entirely. Moreover, government subsides differ substantially by country, making EV ownership far more cost effective in the countries offering the most generous subsides. This is exactly the case in Norway (and to a lesser extent other European countries), where after factoring in all the government incentives, purchasing an EV is sometimes cheaper than a comparable gasoline powered vehicle.
At the heart of the hefty EV price tag, lies the battery. Limited production capacity has meant that battery output has lagged, ultimately restricting the number of vehicles coming to market. Indeed, the scale of battery manufacturing plants has significantly increased in recent years and will be further helped along by the recent rollout of several new mega power plants. To give some context, traditional battery manufacturing facilities typically produce anywhere from 3 to 8 gigawatt-hours per year (GWh/year), whereas the mega facilities are expected to produce an output of nearly three times that upper bound, exceeding 20 GWh/year. Industry experts expect that five more of these facilities worldwide will be fully functional by 2023.
Outside of scale, battery prices have also been inflated due to material costs. Cobalt is a key mineral used in lithium-ion batteries and is by far the most expensive component – costing anywhere from $32,000-$35,000 a metric ton. However, here too, manufacturers have made significant advancements. Recent innovations in battery chemistry has shown that nickel-based cathodes could be a viable alternative, offering an even higher energy density, longer life cycle and costing a fraction of the price.
The combination of improving scale and design enhancements has already put significant downward pressure on battery prices over the last decade. According to data provided by BloombergNEF, battery pack prices have fallen from $1,160 KWh (USD) in 2010 to $156 KWh in 2019 (Chart 4). Industry experts expect this trend to continue over the coming years, such that price parity between EV and ICE models could be reached as early as 2022/23.
Achieving price parity (or at least more in the ballpark) will be a key factor required to propel the EV market forward, particularly in North America. As already mentioned, significant government subsidies have been largely responsible for the increased popularity of EVs across many European countries. While both Canada and the US have introduced similar rebate programs (at the federal and provincial/state level) in recent years, buyers still end up paying more upfront relative to purchasing a comparable gasoline model. In Canada, the maximum federal rebate available is $5,000, with only two provinces (Quebec & British Columbia) offering additional tax credits for its residents (Chart 5). This is slightly less than the maximum federal rebate offered in the US ($7,500), though the US program comes with a caveat. Each manufacturer has a sales cap of 200,000 units, once that is reached, the federal incentive is gradually reduced over the course of the next year, after which it is eliminated completely. Both Tesla and GM have already reached these sales caps, meaning any future buyers are no longer eligible for the federal tax credit. Depending on the buyer’s state of residence, additional state subsidies may still apply. Chart 6 highlights the 10 most generous state subsides.
As it currently stands, the fate of the Canadian federal subsidy remains somewhat in question. The Liberal government allocated $300 million for the purpose of consumer rebates (effective May 1st, 2019), to be used over a three-year period. Not even two years into the program, more than three-quarters of the allocated funds have already been used. It is unclear if the government will top up the program once the existing funds have been exhausted.
History has shown that Canadian’s decision to purchase an EV remains heavily dependent on the available government subsides. Up until 2018, Ontario had also offered provincial rebates (amounting to as much as $14,000). However, the Conservative government scrapped the program at the beginning of 2019 – citing it as an unnecessary tax break for wealthy Ontarians. EV sales dropped dramatically through the first half of last year – falling by over 50% – and have never recovered. In fact, despite Ontario accounting for 36% of the overall Canadian passenger vehicle stock, only 11% of the cumulative EV sales have so far occurred in the province. If the federal government is committed to reaching its 10% EV market share target by 2025, the existing federal subsidy program will likely need to be topped up sometime this year. Extending the current subsidy program for at least another two years will help buy the industry a bit more time to inch closer to price parity while also continuing to facilitate the gradual rotation towards electrification.
Range anxiety remains another key barrier for many consumers, as current charging infrastructure is simply not adequate across most provinces, particularly for long distance drivers. According to Natural Resources Canada, there are 5,316 public charging stations located across the country, estimated to have 12,558 plug-ins. Over 2,200 of those chargers are DC fast chargers, which can recharge some EVs to 80% capacity in 20-30 minutes. The US currently has roughly four-times the number of Canadian public charging stations, which are estimated to have over 69,000 connectors – nearly one-fifth of which are fast chargers (Chart 7 & 8). While many players including utilities, oil & gas companies and automakers are all actively investing in this space on both sides of the border, it is generally understood that charging capacity will need to grow exponentially to satisfy the EV targets set out by the federal government. At this point, it appears that the government is committed to further investing in its infrastructure in order to reach those goals. In a Throne Speech made by Justin Trudeau last December, the Prime Minister called for the installation of 5,000 additional charging stations – nearly doubling the number of existing charging points – along both the Trans-Canada Highway as well as rural and urban areas. While no timeline was given, it is generally understood that this would be a medium-term requirement in order to meet the expected increased demand over the coming years. And while these numbers may seem ambitious, similar estimates have been made for the US. The International Council of Clean Transportation estimates that by 2025, approximately 200,000 charging points will be required across the 100 most populous areas of the US.
How Has COVID Impacted the EV Market?
Between January and April, global car sales were below year-ago levels by over 9-million units, as severe lockdown measures erased more than a third of expected sales through the first four months of the year. Unsurprisingly, the timing and extent of the declines were dictated by the timing and severity of the lockdown measures implemented by each region. In China, sales in February were over 80% below year-ago levels, whereas in the US (-50%), Germany (-45%), Canada (-75%) and France (-80%), sales didn’t trough until April (Chart 9). Across all regions, global sales have since rebounded strongly and as of September, are sitting slightly above year-ago levels.
Interestingly, EV sales have so far stood out as a bit of a bright spot, having generally been hit less hard than non-electric sales. This should perhaps not come as a surprise. The income shock resulting from the pandemic has been disproportionately felt by lower-income households. A recent study by the St. Louis Federal Reserve found that those who have either less than two-months of income in safe assets or debt payments exceeding 40% of their income are significantly more likely to become seriously delinquent on their debt during the pandemic. Meanwhile, higher-income earners have (so far) been far less financially impacted as many have been able to work-from-home and are also more likely to have some financial cushion saved. This is important from an EV standpoint, as US data has shown that sales in recent years have remained concentrated among higher-income earners. While a comparable cut in the data doesn’t exist for Canada, it’s hard to imagine why EV sales would be more evenly distributed across the income spectrum in Canada, especially given the existing parallels in price and government incentives.
That being said, even though EV sales have been relatively sheltered from the current economic slowdown, the recovery still remains somewhat in question, particularly given the recent surge in infections across both the US and Canada. While vaccine hopes look increasingly promising, the pandemic is likely to leave lasting scars on the labour market, which will almost certainly slow the pace of electrification over the coming years. As a result, public policy needs to play a proactive role in helping facilitate the continued rotation away from fossil fuel to more carbon-friendly vehicles. This has already been the case in China, where both the central and local governments quickly moved to implementing a range of new support measures which are intended to stimulate EV demand.1 Similar initiatives have been implemented in France (up to €7,000 tax credit) and Italy (€10,000) as part of targeted fiscal response packages intended to support the respective automotive sectors and facilitate the continued rotation towards electrification. France has also taken it a step further, offering additional subsides for lower-income households who trade-in a gasoline powered vehicle for an EV.
Such simulative measures have so far been absent in both Canada and the US. While a “Cash for Clunkers 2.0” program was floated in the US when the CARES Act was first negotiated, considerations quickly faded as no bipartisan agreement on appropriate reductions to emission standards could be reached between the House and Senate. Moreover, the program under consideration wasn’t intended to specifically target the sale of electric vehicles, but rather meant to support the overall automotive industry – similar to the 2008/09 Cash for Clunkers program.
However, with vehicle sales in both Canada and the US having largely recovered most of their respective pandemic losses, the associated cost of such a program far outweighs the benefits. More targeted approaches offering further tax credits, direct cash incentives for those trading-in for more efficient hybrids or pure electrics or even applying tax credits to the sale of used EVs are all likely to yield a more desirable outcome. Income testing recipients could be one approach for keeping program costs down, while also helping to facilitate the sale of EVs across the income spectrum.
Investment from North American Automakers
While EV capital investment from the Big Three North American automakers has lagged European and Chinese manufactures, we have seen a big push more recently as EV popularity has grown. The recent announcement by GM is just the latest in a string of commitments, with the automaker investing $2.2B (a cumulative total of $4.5B invested since March 2019) in its US operations intended to increase EV production over the coming years. Chrysler has also made similar investments on both sides of the border, committing $4.5B to its US operations – intended to increase EV capacity at three of its production facilities – and more recently $1.2B to its Canadian production facility in Windsor, Ontario. Meanwhile, Ford has pledged to produce 40 hybrid and fully electric models by 2023 and has allocated $11B dollars in investments (to be used by 2022) to help achieve that goal. While the lion’s share will be directed towards enhancing US operations, Ford recently announced that it is committing over $1B to its Canadian facility, with the intended goal of producing purely electric vehicles by 2024. As part of the announcement, the federal and provincial governments jointly committed an additional $450M ($600M CAD) in subsidies to the automaker, in an attempt to incentivize further EV production in Canada.
The combined investments on both sides of the border will go a long way in improving not only North America’s competitiveness with producing electric vehicles but also the components. Currently, over 70% of battery production occurs in China. If recent year’s trade wars and the current pandemic have taught automakers anything, it’s having a globally integrated supply chain can leave manufacturers particularly vulnerable to any number of unforeseeable economic shocks. By devoting investment dollars to domestic battery production, North American automakers will not only help boost global supply but also help to minimize domestic production risk.
Does the Commercial Space Stand to Benefit?
Much of the EV discussion to date has focused squarely on the passenger vehicle segment. However, thanks to battery advancements and tightening emission regulations, it is expected that electrification will soon extend into heavier applications. Perhaps the most obvious segue is to public transportation, particularly across urban centers. So far, most of the transition to electrifying public transport has been concentrated in China, though Europe has made decent progress in recent years (Chart 10). That being said, commitments from some of the larger North American metros (e.g. New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Toronto and Montreal) to migrate their fleets to 100% emission free buses by 2040 has shown that commercial electrification is gaining increasingly more staying power. In Canada, the federal government has also shown strong commitment to helping with the gradual transition to electrification over the coming years. Just last month, the Liberal government announced $1.5B in funding to purchase 5,000 zero-emission buses (both transit and school) and further buildout charging infrastructure over the next five years. The announced investment represents a replacement of approximately 5.5% of the existing Canadian bus fleet.
Commercial delivery vans are also likely to see increased demand for electrification in the years to come, as strict air quality standards are making it increasingly more expensive to run diesel operated vehicles. Moreover, as more urban centers adopt “emission free zones”, companies will be forced to embrace electrification in order to service these areas. Even putting the regulation aspects aside, falling upfront costs and increased battery range should make electrification a genuine alternative. This is particularly true across urban centers, where driving mileage is very predictable for most delivery routes, hence making daily usage times easily forecastable. Charging stations can also be easily installed at depots and warehouses, allowing for dependable recharging at the end of each shift. According to estimates by BloombergNEF, sales of electric light and medium commercial vehicles will account for nearly one-third of sales in this space by 2030 – well above its current share of just 2%.
To date, light & medium duty commercial vehicles have been noticeably absent from recent infrastructure spending announcements by the federal government, though it is expected that they’ll be included in future investment projects. Direct financial incentives for businesses transitioning to electric or further investing in infrastructure are the two most likely channels the government will provide support.
On the other end of the spectrum are heavy-duty trucks. Adoption in this space has been very small relative to other commercial segments, so far catering to very specific purposes such as urban delivery and port transportation. However, much like commercial vans, a gradual movement towards low and/or zero-emission urban zones over the coming decades will lead to a stronger market penetration.
What Does This All Mean for EVs?
The outlook for EVs looks bright, though that doesn’t mean it comes without obstacles. Key among them is consumer education. History has shown that even though EV prices have fallen drastically in recent years, consumers remain hesitant given the additional upfront costs. However, studies have shown that those upfront costs more than pay for themselves over the lifetime of the vehicle, through both lower maintenance and fuel costs. In fact, US Consumer Reports found that for both pure battery and plug-in hybrid vehicles, maintenance costs on average are 50% lower over the lifecycle of the vehicle. Depending on the specific model, fuel costs could be as much as 60% lower. The combined lifetime savings can amount to as much as $10,000 USD, which in most cases, more than offsets the upfront price differential (Chart 11). Educating the consumer of these benefits will hopefully assuage buyer fears that the upfront cost isn’t just lost dollars going towards paying the “new product premium”. Moreover, as prices continue to fall alongside further technological advancements, the lifetime savings should become even more enticing to buyers.
As we have already noted, range anxiety is perhaps the other key concern among consumers. While a lack of charging infrastructure is certainly to blame, EV owners have also complained of frustrating deficiencies across the existing public charging network. The most common issues include broken chargers and/or unreported downtime, tedious online registration forms that must be filled out before use, and longer than expected charge times. Outside of the infrastructure issues, battery life has also proven to be significantly reduced by cold weather – a major issue for those living in either Canada or the Northeast/Midwest regions of the US. At this point, automakers have largely shrugged of the issues, citing them as temporary setbacks that will gradually fade alongside further battery enhancements and increased infrastructure. However, until this occurs, EV popularity will remain somewhat uneven across Canada and the US.
The problem is somewhat of a catch-22. California has recently become the first state to announce that it will be banning the sale of all fossil fuel powered passenger vehicles by 2035. In Canada, British Columbia and Quebec are the only two provinces that have so far made similar commitments. Unsurprisingly, charging infrastructure is most heavily concentrated in the areas where EV sales have been the greatest. In Canada, over 90% of the current available public charging stations are located in either British Columbia (18%), Ontario (33%) or Quebec (40%) (Chart 12). A similar story has played out in the US, with California having nearly a third of all US charging stations, despite only accounting for 11% of annual vehicle sales. The disparity speaks to the broader issue that while investment in North American charging infrastructure has been significant, it hasn’t necessarily been even. Concentrating future investment projects across other populated areas will help diversify consumer interest more broadly, allowing both Canada and the US to reach their respective ZEV targets (See Text Box).
Electric vehicles have slowly been gaining global market share in recent years, and it is assumed that popularity will continue to grow as the price gap between comparable fossil fuel and electric models’ further narrows. Compared to other leading EV markets, uptake in both Canada and the US has been slower, owing to a host of factors. Relatively less generous government subsides, lack of charging infrastructure and limited vehicle selection have perhaps been the biggest headwinds. However, commitments from governments on both sides of the border as well as automakers to not only boost infrastructure but also produce vehicles and batteries in North America are notable steps in the right direction.
COVID-19 has taken a sizeable bite out of global 2020 auto sales, though the electric market has remained somewhat sheltered, owing largely to its consumer demographic. Moreover, we have seen governments in China, France and Italy include specific support measures in their respective fiscal packages offering targeted incentives for buyers purchasing EVs. To date, such measures have been absent in the respective fiscal packages released in both Canada and the US, though should be considered in future relief measures to support the continued rotation towards electrification. Under the right criteria (e.g. incentivize trade-ins of fossil fuel cars for ZEVs, providing tax credits for the purchase of used EVs, income test recipients), the government would be able to support the automotive industry while also helping to facilitate the sales of EVs across the income spectrum.
Text Box: President Elect Biden Hopes To Jump-Start EV Market
Under Joe Biden’s Plan for a Clean Energy Revolution and Environmental Justice, a number of “Day 1” orders have been proposed. Key among them are:
- Rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement
- Developing methane pollution limits for oil & gas operations
- Creating efficiency standards for appliances & buildings
- Modifying the Clean Air Act’s (CAA) fuel emission standards to ensure 100% of newly sold light vehicles are electrified.
While Biden’s proposal stops short of setting a date by which all new vehicles sold in the US must be zero emission, it is generally agreed that it would likely be by 2035. The reasons are two-fold. First, it’s the date by which Biden’s climate plan calls for reaching 100% clean electricity. Second, it aligns to the timing of when California will ban the sale of all gasoline powered vehicles.
The Biden Administration would have two main channels through which it could establish a national policy on implementing a zero-emission vehicle: regulation or legislation. Legislation seems unlikely, particularly if the Republicans end up keeping control of the Senate.
This leaves regulation. Under the CAA, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has the authority to set greenhouse gas emission standards. Therefore, President Elect Biden can direct the EPA to set a replacement rule whereby fuel efficiency standards become increasingly stringent over the next 15 years such that by 2035 the only vehicles that could comply would be zero-emission. This wouldn’t be the first time an incoming government directed the EPA to change existing standards. In fact, President Trump significantly rolled back emission standards put in place by the Obama Administration, as it was thought that the inherited standards were too punitive for automakers to achieve.
But it’s important to note that even the regulation channel could be met with opposition. The auto industry has a long history of challenging vehicle emission regulations in court, and the stringent measures required to eliminate the sale of fossil fuel passenger vehicles by 2035 would almost certainly be contested. Depending on the level of pushback, the Biden Administration may be willing to relax imposing a strict target date on imposing a ZEV standard, and rather make it a centerpiece of a clean vehicle initiative. Under such a plan, the government could provide additional subsidies for the purchase of EVs, grants for charging infrastructure as well as incentives for manufacturing EVs in the US.
Biden has also put forward other budget initiatives that would specifically target EVs, though these will require Senate approval, thus making them less likely should the Republicans maintain control of the Senate. Key among them is a commitment to permanently extending the $7,500 tax credit and eliminating the existing 200,000-unit manufacturer cap. This would mean that buyers of Tesla and GM electric cars would again be eligible to receive the $7,500 federal government subsidy. Tax credits would encourage the sale of US made electric vehicles, as imported EVs would not be eligible. Moreover, the scope of eligible recipients would also be somewhat narrowed, specifically targeting middle and low-income earners, with eligibility for those earning over $250,000 gradually phased-out.
- Policy measures implemented by the central government are targeted to local governments and range from increased quotas for license plates, accelerated replacement of aging vehicles and shift policies from limiting car purchases to regulating usage, subsidize car purchases and facilitate the trade-in of aging vehicles, extended funding and purchase-tax rebates on new energy vehicles for another two years. The government has also encouraged financial institutions to reduce both down payments and interest rates on car loans, while also extending loan terms. Local governments have also committed to increasing construction of charging stations over the coming years in an effort to spur more EV sales.

Direct Action is a brand that is difficult to find a lot of information on regarding its origins. On their website, their bio reads “DIRECT ACTION® is a project born from combining great design and manufacturing capabilities with an up-close-and-personal understanding of the specific end-user needs of special operations forces.” Take this for what you will, but they are a Polish-based company that makes some pretty high-quality gear. In recent years I have seen their gear being picked up by more and more special operations units in the European Theater. The Italian Army special forces seem predominantly fond of many of Direct Action’s offerings. Personally, I can’t think of a better group of people to endorse tactical gear than some of the world’s most elite warfighters. So, today we will be reviewing one of the Direct Action Halifax Backpacks.
Over the course of 2 years, I took the Halifax out on several day hikes and for a two-week mission to Romania for a military training exercise. I then EDC’ed the bag for the course of a few weeks and then decided that it was much too big for this application. Overall I would say I didn’t abuse the bag, but I did use it to hold some gear and checked it at an airport and it came back in one piece despite the airline’s best efforts.
Halifax was provided by Direct Action for this review and I was allowed to keep the backpack after the conclusion of its testing. Direct Action has had no input on this review.
Direct Action Halifax – Quality and Comfort
While Direct Action is a Polish-based company, they outsource a lot of their manufacturing in Vietnam and this pack is no different. With that being said the Halifax is very sturdy and we built a bag. The primary material for the bag is 1000 D Cordura. This gives the bag a good strength-to-weight ratio but I would have liked to have seen something like a 2000 D Cordura on higher ware areas to give it some added strength.
While this pack is designed for hard military use it has some very thoughtful quality-of-life features. The back panel has two small columns of Velcro that run up the full length of the pack. There are then two different-length foam pads you can use to add extra cushioning to the pack. One size runs the full length of the back panel while the other set is a three-quarter option. These padding options allow the end-user to increase and decrease the amount of padding depending on what the bag will be used for. Often when a soldier puts on a set of body armor or a plate carrier and then a backpack, the pack can then hang pretty far off the soldier’s body. Being able to take the extra padding off can help alleviate this issue by allowing the pack to be pulled in closer to the back of the end user.
Overall the quality of the Halifax is pretty solid and so is the comfort considering who it’s being marketed towards. I would say it’s quite as comfortable as similar offerings from companies like Mystery Ranch or Osprey but again this is a dedicated full-time military pack so comfort may have not been the primary concern when designing it.
Direct Action Halifax – Organization
If you’re someone who likes a lot of modularity in your packs then honestly Halifax has you covered. The exterior back of the pack is covered in laser-cut Molle from head to toe. I have to say if a pack has Molle on it these days and it’s not Laser-cut, I’m not interested. The weight savings from old-school Molle is massive while maintaining a lower profile and weight, it’s a winning combo in my opinion. On the edges of the external Molle are two sections of YKK zippers that are for DA’s optional Zip on panels.
These panels are designed to work seamlessly with the back panels DA makes for their spitfire line for plate carriers. The system is very similar to offerings from Crye Precision who have been making zip-on back panels for their plater carriers ever since they launched the JPC series of carriers. While DA didn’t pioneer this system I haven’t seen any other company include it on a backpack to date. I think this is a really interesting option for anyone who has the DA Spitfire back panel as it gives them a great way to move gear from one system to another in a matter of seconds.
Below the Molle on the very bottom of the bag are two reinforced daisy chain style anchor pants for attaching anything you can think of. I used these to hold on to my ice axe and extra carabiners or ropes. There is a hidden pocket on the other side of the bottom of the bag, this one is not very easy to get to and it’s pretty small but I found it was big enough to fit the included waist belt.
The top of the bag has two fleece-lined pockets. One is rather large and big enough for storing ski goggles while the smaller one is better used for typical sunglasses. On the sides of the pack are two expandable water bottle pockets big enough to accept 32 oz Nalgene bottles. Above the pockets is a section of compression straps with a small laser-cut Molle field separating them. Running along the Molle field is a vertical grab handle. I’m a big fan of these grab handles because they give you another post to pick up the bag if it’s in an awkward orientation. The handles are a bit thin but still very strong.
Getting into the main compartment of this pack is a breeze as the Halifax sports a full clamshell design with rugged YKK zippers. The interior of this pack Is where things really start to get interesting! The entire interior back panel of the Halifax is covered in Velcro Molle. This means that no matter what kind of a pouch you want to mount inside you should have no issues. Want to mount some LBX med pouch using Velcro? No problem. Want to hook up a Tasmanian tiger Lens pouch using Velcro? Couldn’t be easier. This is by far my favorite feature of Halifax as it just makes organization so much easier. The Velcro field is also massive, coming at 12” wide and 24” tall glowing for the mounting of many different accessories.
Above the interior Velcro field is a hook for holding up a hydration bladder with a plastic buckle. Above the buckle is a heavy-duty zipper so you can fit a drinking straw through it without having to have your main zipper compartment open. The sides of the pack also feature very small flow-through pockets for drinking straws too. Options are always a plus. The opposite side of the interior of the pack has a large standard Velcro field and a medium-sized mesh pocket.
- Forward-thinking design with the incorporation of modern materials
- Multiple ways to adapt the pack to your preferred pouch setup
- Allows for integration of other Direct Action pieces of equipment allowing for the end-user to spec out the pack for whatever mission they may find themselves on
- The bag is not the most comfortable when compared to its competition
- Very heavy even with its incorporation of lightweight materials
- Personally, I don’t find this bag very aesthetically pleasing
Direct Action Halifax – Wrap Up
In the end the Direct Action Halifax is a very well-designed bag with only a few flaws. The incorporation of modern materials and forward-thinking design is a huge plus and gives this bag unrivaled modularity and adaptability. While all that modularity is great, catering to multiple types of attachment systems on the interior adds a lot of overall weight to this bag. Not to mention that this bag is also not the most comfortable in comparison to its competition. Overall I do like this bag but I think there are other offerings on the market that can do most of what this bag can and can do better. It’s still a great bag, just not for me.

During the coming days, we celebrate Easter to commemorate the core of our Christian faith: the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Through his resurrection, Jesus became the pioneer and completer of our Christian faith.
In Europe, almost everybody can celebrate Easter in freedom and safety, It is sad to see that so many Christians in other parts of the world are not free and safe to celebrate Easter.On Palm Sunday, Coptic Churches in Egypt were attacked viciously by IS terrorists. At least 45 people were killed. Taking place at the beginning of the Holy Week leading up to Easter, the attacks viciously disturbed a time normally reserved for joy, remembrance and celebration of Christ’s sacrifice. Christian communities worldwide mourned with the families of the victims, prayed for them and showed their compassion and sympathy.
In those times of sorrow and despair, we want to point to Jesus’ remarkably comforting words on the day of his resurrection, when he spoke “I am with you always, even unto the end of the world” (Matthew 28 verse 20). Let those words be of comfort to us: he is with us not only in times of joy, but also in times of sorrow.
With those words in mind, the ECPM members and staff want to wish all of you a good Easter in remembrance of Jesus’ sacrifice for us in Jerusalem, so many years ago. | <urn:uuid:3a4cfe1d-f904-45be-b88e-728abc12990b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://ecpm.info/news/easter-message.html | 2023-09-28T17:12:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.958496 | 289 |
Three years ago, almost to the day, this precious little person came into our lives. A victim of backyard chicken keeping, Fairy was found in a cat’s mouth. As you can see from the photos, it was amazing that she survived her injuries. She lived indoors with us and she was a pure delight. She chatted incessantly, and even with a limp in her injured leg, she wanted to explore and investigate everything. She used to cuddle into the back of my neck to sleep and I still remember the flurried movements as she found the cosiest spot where she felt safe.
She was so endearing that I would happily have kept her as a house hen. But when we had the opportunity to rescue Blossom, it was only right that the chicks have each other for company. Since the day Blossom arrived, Fairy never left her side.
Everyone loved Fairy. When we would enter her aviary at Eden, she would come running as fast as her legs would carry her, with wings outstretched, for a hug. As Marie remembers, there was a spot under her chin that felt as if it was made for our fingers and she nuzzled into one of us every morning before hopping down and carrying on with her day. Every day was a busy day for Fairy. She had boundless energy and loved her life.
Fairy was such an inspiration to us that she featured in one of our most successful Go Vegan World ads. In a world where veganism has been reduced to consumerism and diet, Fairy encapsulated the essence of a way of living that respects others because they feel and because they too have rights.
She became ill very suddenly. Only a week ago she was hopping into the basin as Marie was filling it in the mornings, drinking as the water poured in. Yesterday she was suddenly listless and her face was unusually pale. We had her admitted to an excellent veterinary hospital where the avian specialist quickly diagnosed liver failure.
When Fairy first matured she received several Suprelorin implants to prevent egg laying. Each of them failed. We were concerned about putting very high dose implants into her tiny, fragile body. As she was mostly a Silkie breed of hen we decided, after much deliberation and veterinary consultation, to leave her alone without implants. But she was a cross breed, a victim of careless backyard breeding, and there was also a breed of hen in her that is used commercially to over-ovulate to cater for the non-vegan demand for eggs. We have now learned of the connection between ovulation (egg laying) and liver disease in hens. This is one of the references on the subject that is worth reading. Everything about the egg industry, and the fad for keeping chickens in the backyard or garden, is disrespectful to them.
Fairy got every chance to recover and for a while she brightened, was grooming herself and chatting. But she suddenly began to suffer and I had left permission for her to be euthanised if that happened. If she had not been at the veterinary hospital, she would have died an agonising death. Our hearts are chilled to know that she writhed and screamed before she died, albeit only for seconds before the vet intervened. How many hens die on egg farms with no one to hear their screams? And I am quite sure every one of them screams in agony and fear at the slaughterhouse.
Fairy brought endless love, joy, fun and entertainment to our lives. We had no idea that we would lose our little friend when she was only three; that her rushing, talkative, meaningful life would suddenly be snapped out on her just when she was living and loving it. She will always be precious to us.

The U.S.-led coalition has sent a message: If you harbor a terrorist, if you support a terrorist, if you feed a terrorist, you’re just as guilty as the terrorist. The extremist Taleban regime learned the hard way. Today, the Taleban are no longer in power and Afghanistan is no longer a haven for al-Qaida terrorists.
Next, says President George W. Bush, the coalition dealt with one of the major state sponsors of terrorism, Iraq:
“The regime of Saddam Hussein possessed and used weapons of mass destruction, sponsored terrorist groups, and inflicted terror on its own people. Nearly every nation recognized and denounced this threat for over a decade. Finally, the U-N Security Council, in resolution fourteen-forty-one, demanded that Saddam Hussein disarm, prove his disarmament to the world, or face serious consequences. The choice was up to the dictator, and he chose poorly.”
Six months ago, Saddam Hussein was removed from power. “It is undeniable,” says President Bush, “that Saddam Hussein was a deceiver and a danger”:
“Who can possibly think that the world would be better off with Saddam Hussein in power? Surely not the dissidents who would be in his prisons or end up in his mass graves. Surely not the men and women who would fill Saddam’s torture chambers or rape rooms. Surely not the families of victims he murdered with poison gas. Surely not anyone who cares about human rights and democracy and stability in the Middle East. There is only one decent and humane reaction to the fall of Saddam Hussein -- good riddance."
Saddam Hussein holdouts and foreign terrorists are trying to undermine Iraq’s progress. The terrorists think their attacks on Iraqis, United Nations personnel, and coalition forces will weaken the coalition’s resolve. That will not happen. Iraqi schools are being rebuilt, hospitals have reopened, and water and electricity are being restored. The coalition’s goal is a stable and democratic Iraq. As President Bush put it, “No band of murderers and gangsters will stop that work.” | <urn:uuid:6c669666-96f1-4497-ac02-d883aa8b2b4a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://editorials.voa.gov/a/a-41-a-2003-10-21-2-1-83094097/1477808.html | 2023-09-28T17:54:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.960763 | 439 |

Over 30+ years of working with people, I’ve discovered that a lot of people have no idea about the effect trauma is having on their life. They don’t know what trauma is and they don’t have effective tools for dealing with it.
(If you’re not in the mood to read today, and would rather see my ugly mug and hear me talk about it… GO HERE.
If you feel like something is stuck in your life and you can’t get it moving, that’s likely because of trauma. If you find that you’re continually not getting the result you want in life, that’s because of trauma. If you’re living below your potential, that’s because of Trauma.
Suffering gets created because we don’t see the real reason behind the failure to manifest what we truly want in our life.
Trauma is the unresolved memories of the past stored in the body and mind.
It’s basically stuck energy! Your energy that you need to use to fulfill your life’s purpose.
Not only is the energy stuck, but the mind creates a story around it. A false narrative. It says whatever it must to help us avoid more pain. While your mind is trying to protect you from pain, it’s also creating a limited life.
Trauma restricts freedom of choice and movement.
The biggest problem arrives when you try to prevent suffering by closing off to life.
Ultimately… TRAUMA DISCONNECTS YOU FROM SPIRIT.
We need spirit to communicate to us or we end up living the wrong life, or at least a limited version of our right life.
Practicing Effiji Breathwork releases the programs that are protecting old trauma and wounding and reconnects you to spirit.
I have tried in many ways to make Effiji more “fancy,” but it operates best as a direct confrontation to the limiting patterns due to trauma that are going on in body and mind.
The process is very simple: breathe and change will happen.
Join our Community Breath. There’s no charge to attend and you can reserve your spot HERE.
All you need to bring is a pure desire for more from life and an intention to step beyond the suffering that is limiting your experience. | <urn:uuid:50302171-55bb-4f89-bc6b-33f717712ae1> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://effijibreath.com/the-recipe-for-trauma/ | 2023-09-28T17:56:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.947333 | 489 |
People seem really excited about salads these days.
Here’s a promo a lot of us have been asking for — this weekend, Anthropologie is offering 20% off tops and sweaters! Use the code TOPITOFF at checkout. This promo is valid in-store and online this weekend. Because this promotion requires a code it cannot be combined with the birthday discount in stores or online.
So many choices! I would highly recommend the Snap-Neck Pullover ($68) which I reviewed the other day — and to those who asked, I ended up sizing down to a small in it to fix the wrist loosening issue. In sweaters I’m quite enamored with the Ardila Pullover ($128), the Abstract Roses Pullover ($128), the Winterknit Sleeveless Turtleneck ($148) and the Pointelle Cashmere Vest ($198) — the last of which I wish came in more colors.
This promo also works on sale tops and sweaters! Edda Lace Top (now $50), come to mama! Will you take advantage of this promotion too? | <urn:uuid:79f2985d-2b99-4800-9a13-7cbefd991ef0> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://effortlesslywithroxy.com/2015/11/this-weekend-let-anthropologie-help.html | 2023-09-28T18:46:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.914677 | 230 |

These days, the number and type of solutions for email marketing are numerous. An email marketing landscape has been created by Fluent to give insight into who’s who and especially, what. There are definitely a lot more companies out there of course in the field of email marketing, but the ones in this landscape are either market leaders in their field, or have substantial market share in that field.
Here’s the landscape, including email marketing software providers as main section:
As you can see, there are several sections of email marketing-related companies.
Email Marketing Software Providers
Main section or category is of course the ESPs, or Email Service Providers. Well-established names in this section are Silverpop, MailChimp, Bronto, Experian, Listrak as well as Sailthru, Acxiom, Constant Contact, Espilon, dotmailer and Yesmail. Last but not least, currently the biggest email marketing software providers in the industry: Salesforce Marketing Cloud (formerly ExactTarget) and Oracle Marketing Cloud (formerly Eloqua).
Other sections: Customer Analytics, Real-Time, MTAs, Email Agencies
Of course, ESPs are just one piece of the pie, even though it’s a big piece. Other sections include customer analytics (Agilone, Custora, Retention Science), real-time (Movable Ink, LiveIntent, PowerInbox etc) as well as MTAs (port25, Sendgrid, Amazon web services etc) and email agencies (Trendline Interactive, Inboxgroup, AlchemyWorx, Brightwave etc).
Deliverability and Validation
For email marketing, having quality addresses and deliverability counts. In the validation-section we find FreshAddress, BriteVerify among others. In the deliverability-section there’s Email on Acid, Litmus (email testing companies) as well as Return Path and eDatasource.
Acquisition and Recommendations / Remarketing
Of course, email marketing is great for acquisition: getting new leads and clients, but also for recommendations and remarketing.
In the acquisition-section there’s Criteo, Prospectiv as well as Conversant. Fluent, the company that created the email marketing landscape, puts itself in the acquisition-section too.
In recommendations / remarketing, we find Baynote, Richrelevance, Mybuys and Certona among others.
Emerging Email Marketing companies
Lastly, there’s a section for emerging email marketing software and otherwise email marketing-related companies. These include Videomail (by Liveclicker), Rebelmail, Persado, Revtrax and Skymosity.
Some companies may not be very well known to the outside world, but don’t forget that many of these companies are based in the USA, which is a big market for both consumer-oriented email marketing as well as business-oriented email marketing. | <urn:uuid:0630b1f3-ba0e-4c6b-b435-fb9ef2469679> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://emailmarketingweb.com/email-marketing-software/email-marketing-software-landscape-by-fluent/ | 2023-09-28T18:57:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.926187 | 615 |

Unveiling the Anti-Inflammatory Benefits of Exercise
Like the stress response, Inflammation is a vital defense mechanism of the body, playing a crucial role in protecting against infections and injuries. However, when stress or inflammation become excessive and chronic, they can contribute to the development of various debilitating human diseases, including autoimmune disorders, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and cancer. These diseases make up the current epidemic of chronic noncontagious disease epidemic. As we have often discussed in my books and in the MGC newsletter, chronic activation of the immune system can also originate in the gut in response to diet-induced imbalances of the gut microbiome and the gut-based immune system.
The good news is that exercise, known for its numerous health benefits, has been found to modulate the immune system. A recent study by Murugathasan et al from York University in Toronto sheds light on the fascinating long-term effects of chronic moderate exercise on the inflammatory responses of macrophages, a group of immune cells which are a key component of the immune system.
“The good news is that exercise, known for its numerous health benefits, has been found to modulate the immune system.”
The study conducted on laboratory mice explored the effects of chronic moderate intensity training on a group of immune cells originating in the bone marrowy (bone marrow-derived macrophages or BMDMs). The researchers discovered that exercise induced persistent metabolic rewiring in these macrophages, leading to profound changes in their inflammatory responses. BMDMs from exercised mice exhibited a decreased activation of the NF-κB pathway (The transcription factor NF-κB regulates multiple aspects of innate and adaptive immune functions and serves as a pivotal mediator of inflammatory responses) and reduced expression of pro-inflammatory genes when exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a potent inflammatory stimulus derived from the membrane of bacteria. Additionally, the exercised mice showed an increase in the expression of genes associated with a subgroup of immune cells (M2-like macrophages), which have anti-inflammatory properties.
To unravel the mechanisms responsible for these observed changes, the researchers delved deeper in the biology of macrophages. They found that exercise improved mitochondrial quality in macrophages, increasing their reliance on oxidative phosphorylation, a more efficient energy-producing process that generates less harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS). Consequently, the exercised macrophages demonstrated a reduced production of mitochondrial ROS. Furthermore, the study employed a special type of analysis (ATAC-seq analysis) to investigate changes in the accessibility of genes associated with both inflammatory and metabolic pathways. The findings showed that exercise can affect the way certain parts of cells are accessed and used, indicating that changes in how genes are controlled by the environment during exercise can impact the way immune cells respond to inflammation.
“…exercise can affect the way certain parts of cells are accessed and used…”
This study offers valuable insights into the remarkable benefits of chronic moderate exercise in modulating the inflammatory responses of macrophages. By reprogramming macrophage metabolism and modifying their epigenetic landscape (the overall pattern of chemical markers and modifications on the DNA and histone proteins that help regulate gene expression without altering the underlying genetic code), exercise promotes an anti-inflammatory phenotype in these immune cells. The findings highlight exercise as a powerful immunomodulator that may help prevent or alleviate inflammatory diseases.
“By reprogramming macrophage metabolism and modifying their epigenetic landscape, exercise promotes an anti-inflammatory phenotype in these immune cells.”
While this study provides a significant foundation for understanding the link between exercise and macrophage function, there are still avenues for further exploration. Future research could investigate the precise signaling pathways and molecular mechanisms that mediate the observed metabolic and epigenetic changes. Additionally, while the results obtained in laboratory mice are fascinating, extending these investigations to human studies could provide valuable insights into the translational potential of exercise as a therapeutic and preventive strategy for combating chronic inflammation.
The study demonstrates that chronic moderate exercise has transformative effects on an important component of the immune system, resulting in dampened inflammatory responses. By enhancing mitochondrial quality, promoting oxidative phosphorylation, and altering chromatin accessibility (the degree to which the DNA within the chromatin structure is accessible and able to be transcribed by cellular machinery), exercise reprograms macrophages to adopt an anti-inflammatory phenotype. These findings deepen our understanding of the immunomodulatory benefits of exercise and underscore the importance of physical activity in maintaining a healthy immune system. Incorporating regular exercise into our lives may prove to be a powerful tool in preventing and managing chronic inflammatory diseases. This study has identified one of the mechanisms by which this simple therapeutic intervention works.
E. Dylan Mayer is a graduate from the University of Colorado at Boulder, with a major in Neuroscience and minor in Business. He is fascinated by the close interactions between nutrition, exercise and human health, especially with regard to the brain-gut-microbiome system. In order to expand his knowledge in this field, Dylan will complete his master’s degree in Human Nutrition from Columbia University in New York City in August 2023. | <urn:uuid:510525ab-7295-40cb-9fc4-97b1da51eb24> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://emeranmayer.com/unveiling-the-anti-inflammatory-benefits-of-exercise/ | 2023-09-28T18:53:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.921839 | 1,059 |
