Welcome back to the Forgotten America Podcast!
We are returning from a strategic pause in releasing new episodes in order to build up a robust catalog of episodes and add new content formats to the show. We have a lineup of fantastic guests and we're excited to share those conversations with you.
In this episode,... | <urn:uuid:22012559-9389-4cd0-9e52-232ea075b62a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://forgottenamerica.libsyn.com/2022/12 | 2023-09-28T18:06:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.935735 | 67 |
STILL has strengthened of its product portfolio in the low-platform truck area with the EXH-SF 20/25 model. Building on the same platform, users of the EXD-SF double-deck high-lift truck also benefit from numerous technical innovations. These machines, the narrowest on the market at only 720 mm, have an exceptionally compact, ergonomic design with a unique sprung platform suspension. In this respect, the EXH-SF with a 2,500 kg load capacity for demanding applications, and the EXD-SF with a load capacity of 1,000 kg on the mast lift with 1,000 kg on the initial lift, were developed for double-deck transport and movements into storage up to a height of 2,942 mm – depending on the lift mast. This makes the two new machines really powerful enforcers in the warehouse.
The double-deck machine reaches a maximum speed of 10 km/h and uses STILL Dynamic Drive Control to automatically adapt it to the load weight and lift height. As soon as the lift height reaches above 1,800 mm, the EXD-SF changes to slow-speed mode to guarantee safe operation. The double-deck lift truck can be fitted with a load protection grill for added safety and security, with the result that the side-arms can stay folded out at a lift height above 1,800 mm. As a result of the double-deck transport and assistance functions, the EXD-SF ensures increased performance when used for goods truck loading and unloading on a ramp, in the pre-zone and in the warehouse.
Product trainer Maik Eckerkunst explains “Through their slim design, we have optimised the machines for goods truck loading and unloading: this means the trucks allow more latitude when shunting on the load floor, thus permitting safe, precise manoeuvring through narrow shelf aisles with oncoming traffic,” and adds another plus point: “The improved ergonomics relieve the load on drivers, who gain a more attractive, more convenient workplace.” | <urn:uuid:658ead4a-f65d-4063-9198-b8f7c9bd9cad> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://forklift-dealer.com/new-forklift-trucks/double-deck-high-lift-from-still-a-warehouse-enforcer/ | 2023-09-28T18:30:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.9052 | 421 |
Oscar Piastri says not much changed with the McLaren car after the updates as the strong points and weaknesses remained.
With the updates, the results for McLaren changed hugely when they scored multiple podiums in a space of few races. This came after host of slow runs at the start of the year. Piastri did not get the updates straight up, but when he did, he was on with Lando Norris.
He didn’t shy away from fighting Max Verstappen either. But the Australian notes that there wasn’t a huge change in the car from before even with the updates. Some of the circuits helped them to be quick as the strong points and weaknesses remained.
“Yes and no,” said Piastri about getting comfortable with the car after updates. “I think the car is obviously a fair bit quicker than what we had at the start of the season. I think it still has quite similar strengths and weaknesses that we’ve started to address but still need some more work. So the car doesn’t feel massively different.
“It’s not like it’s a completely different animal to drive now. So we’ll have our strong tracks. I think Silverstone with all the high-speed corners suited us quite nicely. I think we will try and be optimistic, that we can stay more towards the front but whether we’ll be fighting for a podium again, I’m not quite sure,” summed up Piastri.

How to hide a data band when the running total of that band is zero
I have a report that shows a list of debtors with invoices sent to them and amounts paid.
For each debtor I show the amounts of all invoices and the amounts paid
GroupHeader: 'Debtor X'
Invoice 1: $100
GroupFooter : total: 0
GroupHeader: 'Debtor y'
Invoice 1: $200
GroupFooter : total: 150
Whenever the total equals '0' then I want to hide the entire block for that Debtor. So in the above case I want Debtor X to be hidden and Debtor Y to show.
My problem is that when the running Total is calculated I can no longer hide the current block

That’s the question.
Maybe because it’s no collectable?
There are just two kinds of photos that may be picked up.
- safehouse photos at safehouses
- Vacation photos at Himfjäl
Thats just a picture of a Harvester, doesnt count towards any collectibles.
is it another freeze off, areas of the map LOCK down due to overwhelming activity and you interact with anything, can’t open car doors, can’t open house doors, interact with photos, dalie horses, etc, etc, etc, usually a sign that gnomes are around, the NORMAL ticks turn into gnomes because of the overwhelming activity in the area
Thanks all - really? Is this manifestating? Remarkable!
But at the same time - a puzzle for users.
I read some collectables etc. were only available after killing enough enemies in the direct surroundings.
I can’t believe that. I never had issues like that.
That just counts maybe for mission items. | <urn:uuid:b9dc97df-b1b0-4dca-8da2-217615490784> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://forum.generationzero.com/t/warehouse-ostervik-why-cant-i-pick-the-picture/43016 | 2023-09-28T17:11:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.916998 | 225 |
I have a new set of 16 pairs of bamboo knitting needles in sizes 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10.5, 11, 13, 15, & 17. They look like “Clover” brand bamboo needles. A few packages were opened. They are all new with only the #8 having been used briefly and the others just looked at. I purchased these about three months ago, but I’ve found that I prefer to use aluminum needles best. I’d like $40.00 (REDUCED to $35.00) in the US for them. Do not send a private message please. You may email me at lightningsjATjunoDOTcom by changing the AT & DOT.[/u][/b]
What’s the “deal” with these needles??? Still available? Thanks
Yes, they are still waiting for a new home. Do you have room in your home for a new set of needles?
Yes I do…but I am willing to swap…Let me know…pm me Thanks Chele
Send me a list of what you have to swap and I’ll see if there is anything there that I am interested in. Would you please email me directly?

The community of Westerly tried to avoid the correct development of a resort condo. When it comes to Westerly v. Waldo, the court correctly held that a resort might be transformed to a condo kind of possession. (524 A. 2d 117; 1987 R.I. LEXIS 471).
Every one of the above described instances explain circumstances where declarants of condos were compelled to prosecute in order to just utilize the statutorily คอนโด accredited condo type of possession. Ideally, via education and learning as well as a far better understanding of the condo type of possession there will certainly be less challenges in the development of condos without the need of pricey lawsuits.
The Rhode Island Condo Act (the “Act”) restricts discrimination by neighborhood legislation versus condos. “A zoning, neighborhood, constructing code, or various other actual estate regulation, regulation or guideline might not forbid the condo kind of possession or enforce any kind of need upon a condo which it would certainly not enforce upon a literally similar advancement under a various kind of possession, or otherwise manage the development, administration, or presence of the condo kind of possession” (R.I.G.L. 34-36.1 -1.06). In the past, some cities and also communities within Rhode Island had actually originally rejected to tape affirmations of condos thus avoiding the development of condos. While this pattern is not ensured to proceed, the condo market has actually gained back energy as well as the significance it had in the first boom of condos the 1980’s.
If you do not really feel comfy living in condo guidelines and also limitations, and also in close distance to others, after that a condo is possibly not the area for you.
A condo can be a wonderful acquisition under the right collection of conditions, yet some individuals still reject as pietistic apartment or condos. If you do not really feel comfy living in condo regulations as well as limitations, and also close to others, after that a condo is possibly not the area for you. Prior to purchasing a condo, make sure to recognize specifically what is associated with condo living.
Condominium customers are separated right into 3 major teams: for the very first time purchasers to give up rental fee; individuals aiming to get a 2nd residence that will certainly make use of part-time and also retired people that are selling premium real estate for low-maintenance a way of life provides condos.
The condo market has ido climbing progressively in the last few years. According to the National Organization of REALTORS (R), condo worths raised by greater than 27 percent in between 2000 and also 2002, and also the typical worth of apartments ($ 163500) rested simply listed below that of single-family houses ($ 168400) in mid – 2003. While this fad is not assured to proceed, the condo market has actually reclaimed energy as well as the significance it had in the first boom of condos the 1980’s.
The Rhode Island Condo Act (the “Act”) bans discrimination by neighborhood regulation versus condos. “A zoning, neighborhood, developing code, or various other property legislation, guideline or statute might not ban the condo kind of possession or enforce any type of need upon a condo which it would certainly not enforce upon a literally the same growth under a various type of possession, or otherwise control the production, administration, or presence of the condo type of possession” (R.I.G.L. 34-36.1 -1.06). Discrimination versus the condo kind of possession has actually been usual in Rhode Island.
The community of Coventry tried to use its neighborhood guidelines when it comes to Coventry v. Glickman. The court correctly held that a lawful non-conforming tract which was enhanced by the federal government with thirty-two single-family homes can be offered separately and also were exempt to the Community’s neighborhood policies (See 429 A. 2d 440; 1981 R.I. LEXIS 1142).
The Community of Westerly attempted to limit the production of a coastline cabana condo. The Rhode Island Superior Court held that Westerly zoning board poorly included a problem “that the kind of proprietors of coastline cabana condos will be with subscription just not with private possession as in apartment possession.” The court effectively wrapped up that “to limit a type of building possession in the hopes of healing a feasible auto parking issue is plainly a mistake of regulation” (See 1991 R.I. Super LEXIS 198).
The community of South Kingstown attempted to protect against the production of a vehicle parking great deal condo. In the situation of McConnel v. Community of South Kingstown, the court held that a conversion of a car parking whole lot right into private devices was not subject to the community of South Kingstown’s law as a class (See 543 A. 2d 249; 1998 R.I. Lexus 103). In the exact same issue the Community tried to stop the development of a retail condo.
The writer of this short article, Richard E. Palumbo, Jr. belongs to the Rhode Island Bar, the Massachusetts Bar, and also the Federal Bar. Richard is a constant workshop speaker as well as audio speaker concerning numerous concerns connecting to Condo Legislation. The Legislation Workplaces of Richard Palumbo is an extremely concentrated company focusing on the adhering to relevant locations of regulation: property regulation (consisting of condo regulation); organization regulation; as well as estate preparation (wills, trust funds and also probate).
Much more regular types of condo possession consist of domestic, workplace, retail, and also commercial systems. Lots of declarants have actually experienced discrimination versus the condo kind of possession. In the past, some cities as well as communities within Rhode Island had actually at first rejected to tape affirmations of condos therefore protecting against the development of condos. | <urn:uuid:74409744-cb49-4d6b-bdc4-c869e157e544> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://foto200.com/buying-a-condominium-what-to-know-about-condominium-associations/ | 2023-09-28T16:38:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.954188 | 1,224 |
The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. — Marcel Proust
Once you have described a behavior you’ve observed, eliminating judgment from your description, the next step is to interpret that behavior. Keep in mind that this is your interpretation—which means that it may or may not be valid for the person with whom you are communicating. Interpreting, too, is nonjudgmental, in a sense. While there is always judgment involved in deciding what someone’s intent is, you are taking full responsibility for your perception, and thus you are not accusing or blaming the other of having certain motives; you are simply sharing with your partner your impressions of the why I didn’t address yesterday.
What You’ve Said So Far: I noticed you watching that woman as she walked by, and then you just commented on what nice legs she has.
Step Two: Interpreting the Behavior. We all make many assumptions about why others do the things they do, and often we give these assumptions little thought; we just take it for granted that we know the motivations of others. This is so often incorrect. Step Two allows you to share your assumptions, but it also creates a context in which you are making it clear that you are not at all certain that you corner the market on perception.
“When you watched her, and then when you commented on her legs, I assumed that you were feeling attracted to her.”
Observe: Again, do not judge (“You shouldn’t be doing that when you’re married,” for example). You also made it clear, by using the word assumed, that you take ownership of your perceptions, rather than defining the world and insisting that your definition is necessarily correct.
A CONSCIOUS LIVING PRACTICE FOR TODAY – DECEMBER 7
Practice interpreting behaviors you observe—again, without judgment of those behaviors. When your partner slams a door, you can interpret (still to yourself), “I assumed you were angry.” When your child pouts, you might interpret, “I’m thinking you might be disappointed about not going with me.” Today is the why!

I’ve posted pieces of this tale on the blog a few weeks back, but not the whole story recently published in Road Less Traveled in the Floyd Press. So in the interest of using Fragments as a repository replacement brain and archive, pardon me while I scrapbook this harrowing tale of world travels to the Land of Grandchildren.
Be safe!” they said. “Stay healthy” friends and co-workers wished us. What more could two infrequent travelers hope for than these blessings? But a grandparent is promised neither, and traversing three thousand miles for “in loco parentis” posed unknown risks without any guarantees.
At the Roanoke terminal, the teeny Case pen knife that had traveled acceptably on previous occasions breeched national security. Should I be surprised? Two weeks earlier at a Canadian airport, a tiny solid handgun charm on a girl’s necklace was seized in the interest of Canadian defense. Could there be such a thing as too much safety, I wondered?
Surely not when it comes to our children or grand-children. Child care: piece of cake. We’d been there, done that for years with two of our own. Seasoned Toddler Security Agency pros that we had by now become, what could be so hard about maintaining child health and safety?
I’ll tell you what: baby gymnastics and perpetual motion. Nine month old grand daughter Taryn, you see, is not one of those decorator infants that you place tastefully in an un-accessorized corner of the rug with a Fisher Price toy and a sippy cup of juice and reposition slightly every fifteen minutes for effect.
Since the last time we saw her just six weeks ago, she has acquired the ability to lunge. She enjoys this maneuver for the wonderful startle reflex it evokes in the Big People. One totally unanticipated sideways hurtle on the couch for instance sent her headlong into her sister’s bowl of chocolate-syrupy ice cream. A mere yellow alert, a wet wash cloth solved the momentary catastrophe. We’ll look back on this half-gainer some day and laugh.
Second day on duty, it was my watch. Taryn sat with her motors revving at her usual high idle in the high chair at my elbow. I turned my attention for five seconds to her much-neglected older sister Abby who had been on the short end of our attention. Could we go to the water park, please?
I began to answer when out of the corner of my eye and in less than a heart palpatation the baby lurched suddenly up and back out of the chair. Big Angels (and pediatrician reassurances): glossing over the half hour of red alert and the rest of the day at orange, baby Taryn had sustained not so much as a bump on her head, and who could possibly see our new gray hairs among so much already in place?
By day three it was Abby’s turn for Dumpa’s undivided attention. Let’s go out to the swing set in the six foot tall iron-fenced backyard (so sadly sterile by Goose Creek standards, but outdoors, nevertheless.) She and I plucked and dissected some wildflowers through the fence as the cat stalked something invisible in the high weeds just beyond. Abby went over to investigate through the fence.
“It’s a snake!” she shouted, screaming at Maggie the cat to get back. The buzzing sound let me know it was not the same garter snake we’d seen earlier. The cat used up one of her nine lives, struck at and missed by the fangs of a three foot rattler before we could find a rock to throw–at the stupid cat–an animal for whom a little more fear would have meant a lot more security.
Our travel terrors go on, I’ll spare you the details. Suffice it to say I was finally feeling that sense of safety and security our friends had wished for us as we turned at last into the driveway back home very late on the night of our return–and almost hit a deer. | <urn:uuid:690e50bc-d5e4-472a-9754-074f4a85ea0f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://fragmentsfromfloyd.com/uncategorized/homeland-security-floyd-grandparents-on-orange-alert/ | 2023-09-28T17:49:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.957559 | 875 |
I’m using the 3-bag method to clean up in here today.
- 1 paper grocery bag for recyclable paper
- 1 tote bag for stuff that belongs in another room
- 1 trash bag
So far so good! I’ve discovered that I do, indeed, have a desktop. It is brown. It is not dusty, because there was no room for any dust to land on there!
I found a couple of things I didn’t know were missing, and my bag of stuff to relocate is by far the fullest of the 3 bags.
The rest of the house still needs work–lots of work. But my little corner of the world is well on its way to neatness. | <urn:uuid:dd234d59-6362-4867-b6aa-dd2d35d0b917> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://franciscanmom.com/2011/04/25/slowly-but-surely-spring-cleaning/ | 2023-09-28T18:03:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.967148 | 153 |

Treason, Drugs, Homosexuality, Blackmail, and Murder in the 2008 McCain- Obama Presidential Race
I launched my American Pravda series just over a decade ago and during the last five years it has grown enormously, now including many dozens of individual articles and encompassing more than a half-million words of text. Id still stand behind at least 99% of its contents, and the series probably constitutes one of the most comprehensive historical counter-narratives of the modern era found anywhere on the Internet.
Yet its roots actually go back a few years earlier than that and the entire series might never have come into existence if a link on a fringe website hadnt caught my eye. I told that story in a short piece I published in 2010:
In the closing days of the 2008 presidential campaign, I clicked an ambiguous link on an obscure website and stumbled into a parallel universe.
During the previous two years of that long election cycle, the media narrative surrounding Sen. John McCain had been one of unblemished heroism and selfless devotion to his fellow servicemen. Thousands of stories on television and in print had told of his brutal torture at the hands of his North Vietnamese captors, his steely refusal to crack, and his later political career aimed at serving the needs of fellow Vietnam veterans. This storyline had first reached the national stage during his 2000 campaign, then returned with even greater force as he successfully sought the 2008 Republican nomination. Seemingly accepted by all, this history became a centerpiece of his campaign. McCains supporters touted his heroism as proof that he possessed the character to be entrusted with Americas highest office, while his detractors merely sought to change the subject.
Once I clicked that link, I encountered a very different John McCain.
I read copious, detailed evidence that hundreds of American POWs had been condemned to death at enemy hands by top American leaders, apparently because their safe return home would have constituted a major political embarrassment. I found documentation that the cover-up of this betrayal had gone on for decades, eventually drawing in a certain Arizona senator. According to this remarkable reconstruction of events, the average teenage moviegoer of the 1980s watching mindless action films such as Rambo, Missing in Action, and Uncommon Valor was seeing reality portrayed on screen, while the policy expert reading sober articles in the pages of The New Republic and The Atlantic was absorbing lies and propaganda. Since I had been believing those very articles, this was a stunning revelation.
But was this alternate description of reality correct? Could this one article be true and all the countless contrary pieces I had read in Americas most prestigious publications be false, merely the presentation of official propaganda endlessly repeated? I cannot say. I am not an expert on the history of the Vietnam War and its aftermath.
Yet consider the source. The author of that remarkable 8,000-word exposé McCain and the POW Cover-Up, published on The Nation Institutes websitewas Sydney Schanberg, one of Americas foremost Vietnam War journalists. His reporting won him a Pulitzer Prize, and his subsequent book on Cambodia was made into The Killing Fields, an Oscar-winning movie. Schanberg later served as one of the highest-ranking editors at the New York Times, with a third of the reporters at our national newspaper of record working under him. A case can be made that no living American journalist can write with greater credibility on Vietnam War matters. And he had labored for years researching and exhaustively documenting the story of American POWs abandoned in Indochinaa story that if true might easily represent the single greatest act of national dishonor ever committed by our political leaders.
He presented a mass of evidence with names, dates, and documentary detail. Many of the individuals mentioned are still alive and could be interviewed or called to testify. Sealed government records could be ordered unsealed. If America wishes to determine the truth, it can do so.
In the years following the 9/11 Attacks and the Iraq War WMDs, Id grown increasingly suspicious of the mainstream media, beginning to suspect that it was far less reliable than Id always assumed. The growth of the Internet had unleashed a vast torrent of additional material, much of it from alternative or fringe sources that sometimes made wild, conspiratorial claims about all sorts of things. My own views on such matters had always been quite mainstream and conventional, so I was very reluctant to abandon a lifetime of media habits and begin navigating an information jungle of implausible or often contradictory claims. Could I really take that sort of material seriously compared to the professionally-printed pages of my regular newspapers and magazines?
However, I explained that Sydney Schanbergs astonishing John McCain revelations had finally tipped the balance and forced me to recognize that I had long been living in a world of comforting illusions based upon media lies:
Yet what I found most remarkable about Schanbergs essay were not its explosive historical claims but the absolute silence with which they were received in the mainstream media. In 2008, John McCains heroic war record and personal patriotism were central to his quest for supreme powera goal he came very close to achieving. But when one of Americas most eminent journalists published an exhaustive report that the candidate had instead served as one of the leading figures in a monumental act of national treachery, our media took no notice. McCains public critics and the operatives of his Democratic opponent might eagerly seize upon every rumor that the senator had had a private lunch with a disreputable corporate lobbyist, but they ignored documented claims that he had covered up the killing of hundreds of American POWs. These allegations were serious enough and sufficiently documented to warrant national attentionyet they received none.
A couple of years ago, in one of my last exchanges with my late friend Lt. Gen. Bill Odom, who ran the National Security Agency for President Ronald Reagan, we agreed a case could be made that todays major American media had become just as dishonest and unreliable as the old Soviet propaganda outlets of the late 1970s. At the time, we were discussing the coverage of our road to the Iraq War, but subsequent events have demonstrated that this national illness is far more advanced than either of us had suspected. Whether or not Schanberg is proven correct, the shameful cowardice of our mainstream media is already proven by the wall of silence surrounding his work.
American Pravda: Was Rambo Right? Hundreds of POWs may have been left to die in Vietnam, abandoned by their governmentand our media Ron Unz The American Conservative May 25, 2010 1,300 Words Once a single large hole has breached a dam of disbelief, the forces of hydraulic pressure will steadily widen it, and I gradually became convinced that many of the astonishing claims Id seen mentioned on alternative websites over the years were probably correct. Three years later, I published my original American Pravda article, summarizing much of that surprising material.

After a month down at the border along with famed journalist Michael Yon for Operation Burning Edge, Ann Vandersteel comes on The Jeff Dornik Show to share what she saw.
While many talk about illegal immigration as a problem that needs to be fixed, most don’t understand what’s really going on.
That’s why this episode is so important.
It turns out that not only is our government not stopping illegal immigration, our tax dollars are directly and actively funding it.
This means that our government is involved in funding the criminal behavior that has the potential to ultimately destroy our nation.
Which then leads to a deeper conversation about all the different catastrophes our government was behind, including 9/11, the California fires a few years ago, covid and even the Maui fire.
What do we do about it?
Push back against the tyranny of our governmental leaders.
It could be making your community a sanctuary for medical freedom.
It could also be going after the bonds of public servants that are violating our rights.
No matter what, we can no longer sit back and wait for someone else to save the day.

AI is here, and it’s changing the landscape for writers. The question is, how do we respond?
I believe exploring generative AI tools is a necessary part of any writer’s journey today. It’s only through hands-on experience that we can fully understand how this technology works, how it might support us, how we can apply it responsibly – and whether we use it at all.
So, from 12.30pm – 1.30pm on the first Wednesday of each month, this group will explore a particular AI-related topic. The aim is to share our experiences, support each other and forge a way forward, together.
Through these explorations, we’ll also question what it means to be human. We’ll gather as a like-minded community. We’ll probably talk about our love of the craft. Hell, we may decide to shun AI altogether.
Whatever we discover, I believe we’ll come out as better writers. Wordsmiths who can stand our ground when it matters most – and advocate for our skills with confidence.
Are you in?
How it works
It’ll go something like this:
1. A quick intro from me – some AI news highlights + overview of theme.
2. Short one-to-one breakout – an AI ice breaker (and a chance to meet others).
3. Come together to feedback.
4. Breakout into small groups for a deeper exploration of this month’s theme, including knowledge share, best practice, lessons learned etc.
5. Come back together to share key takeouts from each group.
As there’s a mix of skills, I’ve decided to set a small challenge/exploration/theme before each call, so everyone can have a play beforehand and join in the discussions. That way we can all learn from each other.
Please email me at: [email protected] to be added to the mailing list. I’ll then send the pre-meeting exploration to you.

Next up in the Featured Freelancer hot seat is Sonia Kampshoff, a digital marketer whose fate was altered (and in a positive way!) by the pandemic. Sonia is nuts for digital marketing – Google Ads in particular – and uses that desired flexibility that comes with working freelance to work around her childcare schedule.
Let’s get into it and get to know Sonia.
What is your name and what do you do?
My name is Sonia Kampshoff and I’m a digital marketer specialising in Google Ads and social media ads.
How long have you been running your business/freelancing and why did you start?
I’ve been a contractor in previous years but have now been freelancing continuously for 2.5 years, since the end of 2020. You can say Covid was a wake-up call about what I really wanted to do and it helped people learn that working from home is possible.
Finding clients is one of the biggest concerns for people starting out working for themselves. Where did you find your very first client or customer? Where do you mostly find them now?
My very first client was via a recruiter and I had a couple more clients via recruiters since, but I try not to rely on them too much nowadays.
Word of mouth referral also works well for me. My first client was so happy with me he recommended me to 3 other clients with whom I worked for several months. I also get regular work via LinkedIn or other freelancer portals.
I am a native German and Italian speaker, which is a differentiator and leads to interesting work.
Most of my work is on a retainer basis with some ad-hoc projects in between, so I don’t need as many clients each month as some other freelancers.
What does a dream client look like to you and why?
My favourite clients are small or medium sized businesses selling products or services that are interesting and valuable. While doing marketing and ads for them, I also give them feedback on how to improve their website. My clients find it helpful to have an extra pair of eyes.
I also work with agencies where I help cover gaps in staffing or work along the existing team in case they win a new client or project.
What app or social media platform could you not run your business without, and why?
LinkedIn. I am fairly active on it but mostly this platform allows me to see what my peers and clients are up to, and also get insights into what else is happening in the world that I may otherwise miss.
Is working for yourself what you expected? How do you manage a healthy work-life balance?
It is actually better than expected! The flexibility is wonderful, it allows me to keep my brain busy doing something I love while being available for my young daughter.
I normally work around school times and have lunch at the same time every day, which helps me have a routine. I explain this to clients who are understanding and I don’t end up having meetings at silly times.
Most days I take a short (or long!) walk in the park nearby, or run errands. This means I don’t get back to my laptop straight after lunch but have a proper break and move around a bit.
When my daughter is off from school I do a couple of hours of work in the morning while she entertains herself, then we go out and I do some more work in the evening and after her bedtime.
The only thing is that being on retainers a lot I cannot take long periods of time off for holidays. But all in all being freelance works out great for me.
What has been your favourite project to date?
One of my current clients is in e-commerce and I look after their Google Ads . I have been working on optimising their shopping feed so that their products appear on Google for the relevant searches. It is technical work and you see results in a short period of time. I love it!
Another client, a smaller one, works in the field of new building inspections and I run his Google Ads account. He has seen a slowdown in business since mortgage rates have increased in autumn 2022. I convinced him to run ads on Facebook and Instagram so that we tap into people who may not look for his services on Google. Essentially I’m expanding his reach on different platforms.
What is your biggest win of the last 12 months?
I experience a fair amount of seasonality and unfortunately it is not predictable. My biggest win in the past 12 months has been to learn how to deal with this seasonality. I know that work will pick up again and learnt not to panic. I have learnt how to manage my cash flow to deal with slower months, which parts of business development and networking are most effective, and I also started a side project to fill gaps in work (so I don’t go round and round in circles mentally).
What is it about running your business/being a freelancer that you most enjoy?
I love the flexibility and the variety of clients I have. From industrial paints to jewellery to training providers… I never feel bored!
If you were given a free £1000 to spend on your business, what would you spend it on?
I would like to do more networking and find clients directly. So I’d spend the money in two ways:
- Attend more networking events. My local chamber of commerce, which I am a member of, organised a number of them and charge a (reasonable) fee. I would attend many more than I do now.
- There is a local award that I would like to enter for work I have been doing with a specific client. A fellow freelancer mentioned a lady whose business is helping edit award entries. Apparently she has a consistent track record of her clients winning awards! So with some extra money I’d certainly hire her.
What is your ONE top tip or piece of advice you would offer to other freelancers/small business owners?
Learn about your business’s seasonality and cashflow. If a month is slow and you are able not to panic, then you are not tempted to accept work that is underpaid or not interesting. Notice patterns in your activities and learn how to make them work in your favour.
And finally, is there anything you’d like to shout about right now?
I love digital marketing! And I am good at it too. I genuinely enjoy managing my client’s ads on Google and on social media, and also give suggestions to improve their online presence so that they, my clients, are successful.

How to Improve Your Odds of Winning the Lottery
A lottery is a form of gambling in which many people buy tickets with a set of numbers or symbols that are drawn randomly. If the ticket contains a winning combination, the prize money is split among winners. In most cases, a percentage of the profits is donated to charities or other good causes.
Lotteries have been around for thousands of years and have been used to raise funds for many projects. The Chinese Han Dynasty (205 to 187 BC) used lottery games to finance projects such as building the Great Wall. The first French lottery, the Loterie Royale, was introduced by King Francis I in the 1500s.
The lottery is an easy way to raise a large amount of money in a short period of time, and it can also be a source of income for small businesses. It can be used to raise money for charity, school projects, and community groups.
While the odds of winning a lottery are incredibly slim, it can still be fun to play. It is especially appealing when you have the opportunity to win millions of dollars. But it is important to remember that if you do win, the taxes taken out of your winnings will leave you with a fraction of what you won.
It is possible to improve your odds of winning the lottery by playing fewer numbers. For example, try a state pick-3 game instead of Mega Millions or Powerball. These games tend to have better odds than the big ones because they have fewer participants.
You can also join a syndicate to increase your chances of winning. A syndicate is a group of players who pool their money to buy tickets. If any of the members of the syndicate win, they share the prize money.
Some lotteries have a random number generator that selects numbers for each drawing. These machines are designed and proven using statistical analysis to produce random combinations of numbers.
When choosing your numbers, you should avoid numbers that have special meaning for you, such as the number of your birthday. This is because other players might use the same strategy, and you will have a lower chance of winning.
It is also a good idea to avoid playing numbers that are close together, as this can reduce your chance of selecting a winning sequence. In addition, you should always choose numbers that are not related to any significant events in your life.
If you do play the lottery, you should always follow the rules of the game. If you are unsure of the rules, ask your local lottery operator for help.
Buying tickets is a gamble, and it is not a good idea to spend more than you can afford. Even a small purchase of $1 or $2 can add up over the long term, and you may have to pay federal, state, or local taxes on your winnings.
The probability of winning the lottery is very low, so it is not a wise investment. Moreover, the risk of losing your money is very high, and it can be hard to get out of this habit. | <urn:uuid:23609f0b-a340-4c2f-b9be-10f8bf59c85a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://frenchyswellness.com/how-to-improve-your-odds-of-winning-the-lottery/ | 2023-09-28T17:37:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.969252 | 617 |
Kendra Vyse is an entrepreneur, accountant, and business strategist with a passion for educating Canadian entrepreneurs and business owners on accounting and business planning.
Q. What or who has been your greatest influence in business?
My family really has been my greatest influence, both in my career before my business, and when I announced I was opening the doors of my business. My dad had his own accounting practice for over 30 years, my mom was a fantastic and entrepreneurial school principal and had a Christmas craft store for years, my Gramps was a self-employed carpenter, and my Granny did my Gramps’ bookkeeping and was one of the first two women streetcar drivers in Winnipeg, Manitoba. As you can see entrepreneurship is in my blood! And my fiancé is very supportive of my business, always encouraging me and sharing my business with everyone.
Q. When you first started your career, how did you know you were ready and what made you start?
I had been thinking about it for years and when I realized that my current job was not what I wanted to be doing for the rest of my life, nor any of my past jobs, I did some digging and found a program that would help me start my business. So I made the leap and never looked back. Best thing I ever did, except buying my Wrangler! (Long story, but it’s why my fiancé and I are together)
Q. What is your favourite thing about what you do in your career and why?
I love helping others and fitting the puzzle pieces together.
Educating people and seeing the light come on when they understand how the pieces of their business work together, I love it! I help them have the best business possible, and it means I’m helping someone live their dream.
I also love taking the numbers and fitting everything together so that a business owner can see and understand how their business is doing, and where they can improve. It’s fitting all those puzzle pieces together in such a way that makes sense and gives information that helps drive business decisions. Each client is different, and yet each is the same. Everyone needs accurate and timely information to drive their business forward, and I love that I’m the one helping to provide that to my clients.
Q. What keeps you motivated on a daily basis?
My family and my clients. Being able to do what I love, in a way that I love, that helps Canadian entrepreneurs and business owners have the best business possible, that keeps me motivated. And being able to take the time to spend with my fiancé when his schedule is not a standard Monday to Friday, 9 to 5, is also really important to me. I have a wonderful group of clients that all understand and agree that business is business, but family life is important too.
Q. What do you have going on that you’d like to share?
There’s a few new things happening this year.
I am launching a new course for Canadians who are looking to start their business, or have just recently started their business, and want to make sure they get off on the right foot and have all of their i’s dotted and t’s crossed. It’s an overview of all of the steps needed to start a business in Canada as well as a community to help each other out.
I am also launching two new memberships. One has a focus on bookkeeping and accounting for Canadian business owners. I want everyone to understand how their bookkeeping is done and understand their financial statements. I believe every business owner needs to understand their numbers, even if they outsource the work.
The second is to help entrepreneurs and business in owners in developing their business plan, because a plan is needed for financing, but I also believe it’s needed for every business. It’s your step by step process for getting from where you are now to where you want to be. | <urn:uuid:244688e3-0156-4ced-9a6c-084e2ee3697b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://freshmag.ca/pursuit-365-day-94-kendra-vyse/ | 2023-09-28T18:02:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.984877 | 816 |

In February, the Las Vegas Aces and owner Mark Davis raised eyebrows around the WNBA when they signed Becky Hammon to a record $1 million per season contract.
The sum was meant to entice Hammon away from her assistant role with the San Antonio Spurs, where she may have been the heir apparent to Gregg Popovich.
After a 78-71 victory Sunday to claim the franchise’s first title — and the first for a Las Vegas professional sports team — no one should doubt Hammon or the Aces anymore.
Hammon, who was also named the 2022 WNBA Coach of the Year, is the first head coach to win a title in her first year on the job, as well as the first former player to win a title as head coach.
Hammon’s squad — constructed by former HC and president of basketball operations Bill Laimbeer, and current general manager Natalie Williams — is full of accolades itself and is built to contend for years to come.
- A’ja Wilson re-signed with the Aces (2 YRS, $398K) this past offseason; she won her second WNBA MVP this season.
- Chelsea Gray re-upped with Las Vegas (2 YRS, $392K) this past offseason; after being snubbed for the All-Star team earlier this season, she was named WNBA Finals MVP.
- Jackie Young — the 2022 WNBA Most Improved Player — signed an extension (2 YRS, $335K) in May.
- Kelsey Plum signed a two-year extension in July — a week after she was named the 2022 All-Star Game MVP.
The squad was dominant all season, also taking home the Commissioner’s Cup.
Assuming the Aces are the favorites to repeat next season, it would put a stop to an era of parity in the W: Including Las Vegas, three of the league’s last four champions were first-time winners. | <urn:uuid:b0ee3573-6003-468c-9908-f42b08b12b10> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://frontofficesports.com/las-vegas-aces-record-investment-in-becky-hammon-pays-off/ | 2023-09-28T17:47:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.97821 | 408 |
Las Vegas will add another major sporting event to the city’s roster by hosting the first NBA In-Season Tournament, which will be announced during NBA Con at Sin City’s Mandalay Bay.
ESPN reports Las Vegas will host the inaugural tournament’s semifinals and final on Dec. 7 and 9, 2023. The tournament’s full schedule, competitive structure, locations, trophy unveiling, and group drawings will all be revealed Saturday night on ESPN at 7:30 p.m. ET.
The NBA’s new CBA — which went into effect July 1 — has already laid out several parameters for the In-Season Tournament. A group stage will divide each conference’s 15 teams into three groups of five — each playing the other four once. Records from the prior season will determine group placement, with each including a team that finished first-third, fourth-sixth, seventh-ninth, 10th-12th, and 13th-15th.
The six group winners and a wild-card team from each conference — chosen from the best group-play record without winning — will advance to the eight-team, single-elimination knockout stage. After the first knockout round, the remaining games will be played at a neutral site — this year in Vegas.
The other 22 teams will play two additional regular-season games during the knockout stage. The four teams that lose in the first round of the knockout stage will play one extra regular-season game during the same time period. All stats will count toward the regular season except for the championship game, per ESPN.
ESPN and TNT are expected to broadcast this year’s tournament, but it could be sold as its own package when the NBA takes its media rights to market next year. | <urn:uuid:62bfb931-ee93-4a64-97f0-e909427e6b57> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://frontofficesports.com/nba-heading-to-las-vegas-for-in-season-tournament/ | 2023-09-28T16:42:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.949949 | 366 |
The Rangers went the distance to reach their first Eastern Conference Finals since 2015 — thanks to their resident Mr. Game 7.
On Monday, Chris Kreider scored twice in the Rangers’ 6-2 victory over the Hurricanes, which puts them in their first conference finals since 2015 — to face the team that knocked them out, the two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Lightning.
The 31-year-old Kreider is the only member of that 2015 team on this roster — and the seven-year, $45 million extension signed in 2020 ($6.5M cap hit) will ensure he’s there to deliver decisive goals at least through the ’26-27 season.
- He’s 7-1 in Game 7s, the second-most wins in NHL history (six others have eight).
- Kreider’s 15 career goals in elimination games are T2 in league history, one behind Mark Messier.
- He has 60 combined goals (52 in the regular season), two shy of the Rangers record (Adam Graves, ’93-94).
- The Rangers have won five elimination games this postseason, the eighth team in history to win as much in a single playoffs.
Kreider’s heroics helped the Rangers win multiple series despite multi-game deficits — the fourth team to do so in a single postseason.
Now, the Rangers (+150) will continue their run for a first Stanley Cup since 1994 with home-ice advantage against the Lightning (-175).
Ahead of Game 1 (Wednesday, 8 p.m. ET, ESPN), New York is riding a franchise-record six-game playoff win streak at Madison Square Garden. | <urn:uuid:bb2cfda1-b0aa-440d-a503-c0c37f59c41b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://frontofficesports.com/rangers-chris-kreider-is-past-and-present-mr-game-7/ | 2023-09-28T17:50:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.94457 | 349 |
The 2023 U.S. Open will celebrate the tournament’s trailblazing role in advancing gender pay equity — not only in tennis but across sports.
Fifty years ago, the tournament became the first sporting event to offer equal prize money to male and female competitors, the result of determined activism by Billie Jean King. The tennis icon had won the 1972 U.S. Open only to find her $10,000 prize to be $15,000 less than men’s winner Ilie Năstase.
“When I think about it, it feels more and more like a Jackie Robinson moment,” U.S. Open tournament director Stacey Allaster said of King’s stand.
King will be honored at a ceremony to recognize the 50th anniversary of that achievement and its broader impact on Monday. But both King and the USTA recognize there is still much work to be done to advance equality in women’s sports.
Those battles continue to be fought across numerous avenues, including better travel for WNBA and NWSL players, higher prize pools for national team players in women’s soccer, and encouraging more investment in women’s sports.
And though pay equity is now a given in tennis’ majors, that is still not the case throughout the sport.
“Asset-value appreciation is the big driver. We need that mindset [in women’s sports],” Allaster said on the Front Office Sports Today podcast. “We need those that have the resources to invest in women’s sports. We need brands to contribute — and as important, all of us as consumers, we need to watch.” | <urn:uuid:7ebce68a-db81-4ca4-a060-5cd80cf86558> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://frontofficesports.com/u-s-open-to-recognize-billie-jean-king-battle-for-gender-pay-equity/ | 2023-09-28T17:49:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.964056 | 351 |
Gluten Free Grilled Peach Shortcakes
#FarmersMarketWeek is drawing to a close, but I’ve got one last recipe for ya’ll! These gluten free grilled peach shortcakes are the perfect farmer’s market recipe for this Colorado blogger because our Palisade peaches are just THAT good. Have you ever heard of Palisade peaches? I hadn’t until maybe 5 years ago. And I’ve lived in Colorado for 25 years! On the Western Slope of Colorado, the little town of Palisade has been growing peaches since the 1880’s. We get over 300 days of sun and with a 180 day growing season, Palisades actually ranks 7th for most peaches grown in the U.S.
Palisade peaches are just about everywhere right now. They’re in every farmers’ market, every grocery, and even roadside stands. Since they’re easy to find (and cheap!), I knew I had to come up with a rockin’ dessert that featured these bad boys.Voila! Gluten free grilled peach shortcakes! I actually like peach shortcake better than strawberry. And grilling the peaches just takes it to the next step! It’s definitely a dessert your entire family will enjoy.
P.S. Colorado is also known for it’s Rocky Ford cantaloupe! See, we’re not solely a mountain ski community 🙂
P.P.S. Need some substitutes for food preferences or allergies? Look no further! I’ve got you covered.
- Dairy free? Everything but the whipped cream is already dairy free. Sub some coconut whipped cream for regular! You can make your own or buy premade at Sprouts or Whole Foods. Natural Grocers may also carry it.
- Sugar free? Sub stevia or erythritol in both the whipped cream and shortcakes. Easy peasy!
- Paleo? Sub coconut whipped cream again. The shortcakes are already Paleo! Score!
Gluten Free Grilled Peach Shortcake
An easy summer dessert that caters well to food allergies! Low in sugar, but full of flavor!
- 2 cups finely ground almond flour I like Costco's!
- 1/2 cup cassava flour I used Otto's
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup coconut oil melted (you could also use butter or ghee)
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup plus some for basting
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 3 peaches
- 2 cups whipped cream
In a mixing bowl, combine flours, baking soda, and salt.
Add wet ingredients to flour mixture (melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and eggs). Stir to combine. Dough will be wetter than a normal biscuit.
Place bowl in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to set.
While dough is chilling, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Remove dough from refrigerator and shape into 6 large balls.
Place balls on a lined cookie sheet and press down firmly with hand to slightly flatten dough balls. Dough should be about an inch thick.
Bake in oven for 15 minutes or until lightly browned on top. Remove from oven and cool.
For the peaches
As the shortcakes are cooking, cut peaches in half and remove pit.
Baste with more maple syrup (if desired) and place on medium high heat grill. Grill for 5 minutes on each side.
Remove from grill and cool slightly.
Allow shortcakes to cool. Once room temperature, slice shortcakes in half.

An Open Letter to BJ’s Wholesale Club
Just about every aspect of our lives has changed, including how and when we do our grocery shopping.
I'm not a crybaby by any means but I'm determined that things should be fair, so when I heard about this, I needed to vent.
As soon as this pandemic hit, grocery stores across the SouthCoast adjusted, allowing for our seniors and the most at-risk groups to have separate shopping hours to keep them safe. Understandably so! I'm thankful they did that. However, BJ's in Dartmouth has a set time every morning they are open from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. that they allow this group to shop.
Do not get me wrong, they should absolutely continue to do this, but let's not make it a daily thing.
Hear me out: every morning for an hour those at higher risk go into the store and grab the essentials, sometimes even buying them out before the general public can get in. If you are a member of the general public, you would have to get there at 8 a.m. just to stand in line to get in at 9. Can we not do this every day? Maybe just three or four days a week?
Here is the sign they have on the door:
Let's keep this in mind also: everyone that shops at BJ's is a paying member. It's not that I'm saying our senior citizens are not important, but some are actually abusing the privileged by bringing their younger children. Then add on that Sunday is first responders' day – which I think is great because anyone should have first dibs on the essentials, I would think it would be those that are keeping us safe.
I'm stirring the pot here but I honestly think having this be a daily thing isn't necessary. Three to four days a week should be enough, no? Am I just being a brat?
Am I alone on this? So BJ's in Dartmouth, would you mind just giving ALL of us a whole day? | <urn:uuid:d69c426b-1cda-4050-8317-52aabdc4fe66> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://fun107.com/an-open-letter-to-bjs-wholesale-club/ | 2023-09-28T18:36:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.981354 | 427 |

Storefront and Signage: A visually appealing storefront and attractive signage play a crucial role in grabbing the attention of potential customers and creating awareness about the store.
Window Displays: Well-designed window displays showcase products or promotions, enticing passersby to enter the store and explore further.
In-store Experience: The physical layout, ambiance, and overall atmosphere of the store contribute to the customer experience. This includes factors like store design, lighting, music, cleanliness, and creating a welcoming environment.
Product Placement and Merchandising: Thoughtful product placement and effective merchandising strategies help guide customers through the store and encourage them to discover and engage with various products.
Customer Engagement: Knowledgeable and friendly staff engage with customers, offer assistance, answer questions, and provide recommendations based on customer needs and preferences.
Sampling and Demonstrations: Offering product samples or demonstrations can help customers experience and understand the value and benefits of a product, increasing the likelihood of a purchase.
Sales and Promotions: Providing attractive sales, promotions, discounts, or limited-time offers can create a sense of urgency and motivate customers to make a purchase.
Checkout Process: Ensuring a smooth and efficient checkout process with minimal waiting times and friendly customer service helps facilitate the final transaction.

Local Presence: Physical stores can establish a local presence and become an integral part of the community. This can foster customer loyalty, word-of-mouth referrals, and a sense of belonging among customers.
Immediate Gratification: With brick and mortar stores, customers can make a purchase and obtain the product immediately, eliminating the wait time associated with online shopping and shipping.
Personalized Customer Service: In-person interactions enable businesses to offer personalized customer service. Staff can provide individualized assistance, answer questions, and address customer concerns more effectively, leading to a higher level of customer satisfaction.
Enhanced Trust and Credibility: Having a physical presence can enhance the credibility and trustworthiness of a business. Customers may feel more confident purchasing from a store they can visit and physically interact with.
Visual Merchandising: Physical stores allow for creative visual merchandising, where products can be displayed attractively to catch customers’ attention and drive sales. Effective product placement and appealing store layouts can positively impact purchasing decisions.
Opportunity for Impulse Purchases: Physical stores can capitalize on impulse purchases as customers come across products they hadn’t planned on buying. This can result in additional sales and revenue.
Local Targeting: Brick and mortar businesses can tailor their marketing and advertising efforts to specific local audiences, leveraging their knowledge of the community and local preferences to attract and engage customers effectively.
Omnichannel Integration: Many brick and mortar businesses are adopting omnichannel strategies by integrating their physical stores with online channels. This allows for a seamless customer experience, enabling customers to research, purchase, and return products through various channels.

Yes, brick and mortar training is still relevant in today’s economy. While the rise of e-commerce and online retail has certainly transformed the business landscape, brick and mortar stores continue to play a significant role in the economy and serve a distinct set of customer preferences.
Here are a few reasons why brick and mortar training remains relevant:
Customer Experience: Brick and mortar stores offer a unique and immersive shopping experience that online retailers cannot replicate. Training focused on enhancing the in-store experience, customer service, visual merchandising, and creating a welcoming environment can help businesses differentiate themselves and attract customers.
Local Presence: Physical stores have a local presence and can cater to the immediate needs of the surrounding community. Training can help businesses understand the local market, adapt to changing consumer preferences, and develop strategies to effectively serve their target audience.
Omnichannel Integration: Many businesses are adopting omnichannel strategies that integrate both online and offline channels. Training can provide insights on how to effectively integrate brick and mortar operations with online platforms, creating a seamless and consistent customer experience across different touchpoints.
Personalized Interactions: In-person interactions provide an opportunity for personalized customer service, building relationships, and addressing specific customer needs. Training can equip employees with the necessary skills to provide exceptional service and engage customers on a more personal level.
Brand Building and Trust: Physical stores contribute to brand building and establishing trust with customers. Training can help businesses develop strategies to create a strong brand presence, ensure consistent messaging across different channels, and enhance the trust and credibility associated with their brick and mortar operations.
It’s worth noting that while online retail has grown significantly, brick and mortar stores still account for a significant portion of retail sales. By investing in training that addresses the unique challenges and opportunities of brick and mortar operations, businesses can position themselves for success in today’s economy.

Their primary business model was to help online marketers scale their businesses by making it easier for them to create sales funnels and landing pages, but recently they have expanded into the brick-and-mortar world with Brick and Mortar Funnel. In this blog post, we looked at what you can expect from the summit in terms of content, how small business owners are leveraging sales funnels in different industries, as well as some other benefits to attending or purchasing lifetime access.

If you’ve been on your health and fitness journey for more than, hmmmm, 5 seconds? You’ve probably at least HEARD of macros.
So wtf are they, and how can they help you reach your petite fitness goals? Let’s dig in 👇
Wtf are macros anyway?
“Macros” is short for macronutrients, which are the 3 essential nutrients that are required in large amounts for our bodies to properly function.
These 3 nutrients include:
Why are macros so important?
As humans, our bodies need a certain amount of these 3 “macros” to maintain our overall health.
Each macronutrient plays a unique role in providing energy and supporting various bodily functions.
“Do I really need to be counting macros daily?”
Not everybody NEEDS to count macros.
(Keep an eye out for my next post about who counting macros ISN’T for!)
But macro counting can be especially beneficial for those who have fitness goals like losing body fat, building muscle, or enhancing athletic performance.
3 benefits of counting macros:
- Different amounts and ratios of macros (carbs, proteins, and fats) provoke different outcomes. So, counting your macros helps to ensure you’re getting the right balance of each to support your specific goals.
- Counting macros empowers you to personalize your eating plan. It’s like being your own nutrition architect, designing meals that fit your preferences and needs!
- When you count macros, you become more aware of what you’re putting into your body. Over time, this practice teaches you about the nutritional content of different foods, their roles in your life, and how certain foods and combinations impact your body, fitness, and overall happiness.
This knowledge will stay with you long after you stop counting macros!
Don’t forget to keep an eye out for next week’s post for more tips on macro counting 👀

A list of 17 goals were identified and you can see the full list below. Additional details are provided here: Take Action for the Sustainable Development Goals – United Nations Sustainable Development.
As part of the 50th Anniversary celebration, chapters and individuals pledged hours to work on projects that would achive these sustainable development goals. Initially, PMI hoped that 50,000 hours would be pledged but this initiative was so popular that ultimately, 151,874 hours were pledged!
Fast forward two years, and PMI wants to continue to keep a focus on meeting these sustainable development goals and are emphasizing how you as Project Managers can help to make a difference. This focus is higlighted in an article titled “Why Social Impact Matters – Deliverying Meaningful Change Through Projects”. As stated in the article,
“Projects have the power to make a better world – to create new jobs; advance diversity, equality and inclusion; provide essential infrastructure; enhance education; improve public health and safety. Every day, projects help the world take one more step toard achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). But such change doesn’t happen by chance. To truly make a difference, organizations must examine the social impact of their projects from the start. Only then, with meticulous planning and tracking, can companies deliver projects that generate benefits across the enterprise – and the world at large.”
The article goes on to talk about how Social Impact is Measured, Turning Intent into Action, Leading the Pack on Social Impact, The Power of Positive Impact, Doing the Right /Smart Thing (1. Discover a Competitive Edge, 2. Make It a Strategic Priority, and 3. Measure the Influence), Social Impact in the Project Economy, and the article concludes with 10 Positive Forces (The top 10 Social Good Initiatives on PMI’s 2020 list of Most Influential Projects).

Managed Detection and Response (MDR)
Managed detection and response (MDR) is a cybersecurity service that continuous monitoring and rapid response to potential security threats. MDR combines advanced threat detection technology, security expertise, and incident response capabilities to detect and respond to cyber threats in real-time. With MDR, organizations can proactively identify and respond to cyber threats before they cause damage. This service typically involves an external security provider who monitors the organization’s systems and networks around the clock and provides alerts and guidance to mitigate any threats that are detected.
Network Layer (DNS) Protection
Network layer (DNS) protection is a cybersecurity service that helps protect networks from malicious attacks by filtering and blocking harmful traffic. DNS (Domain Name System) is a critical component of the internet that translates domain names into IP addresses. DNS protection uses this technology to analyze internet traffic and identify and block any harmful requests. This helps prevent cyber threats such as phishing, malware, and ransomware from entering the network. By implementing DNS protection, organizations can enhance their cybersecurity posture and reduce the risk of data breaches and other cyber attacks.
Proofpoint Email Protection
Proofpoint is a cybersecurity partner that provides email protection services to help organizations defend against email-based threats. Email protection involves analyzing and filtering incoming and outgoing email traffic to identify and block malicious messages, including phishing emails, malware attachments, and spam. Proofpoint’s email protection services uses advanced threat intelligence, machine learning, and real-time analysis to identify and block threats before they reach the user’s inbox. Galileo Systems Group has partnered with Proofpoint to reduce your risk of email-based cyber attacks, protect sensitive information, and ensure compliance with industry regulations.
Cloud-Based Data Storage Management
Cloud-based data storage management refers to the practice of storing and managing digital data on remote servers that can be accessed via the internet. With cloud-based data storage, organizations can remotely store, manage, and retrieve their data from anywhere with an internet connection. This eliminates the need for an on-premise data storage infrastructure and provides scalability and flexibility to accommodate changing business needs. Cloud-based data storage providers offer various features such as backup, disaster recovery, data encryption, and access controls to ensure the security and integrity of the stored data.
Cybersecurity Awareness Training
Cybersecurity awareness training is crucial to educate employees and individuals on how to identify, prevent, and respond to cyber threats. By raising awareness and providing education on cybersecurity best practices, individuals can learn how to protect sensitive information, detect potential threats, and report suspicious activity. Cybersecurity awareness training also helps to create a culture of security within organizations, which can a reduce the risk of data breaches and other cyber attacks. With the increasing frequency and sophistication of cyber attacks, cybersecurity awareness training is essential to ensure that individuals and organizations are prepared to defend against potential threats.
Vulnerability (Patch) Management
Vulnerability (patch) management refers to the process of identifying, acquiring, testing, and installing software updates, or patches, to fix vulnerabilities and improve the security and functionality of computer systems and applications. Patches are released by software vendors to address known security issues or bugs in their software. Patch management helps ensure that systems are up to date and protected against known vulnerabilities, reducing the risk of cyber attacks. Effective patch management requires a systematic approach to prioritize and apply patches promptly while minimizing disruption to system availability and performance. | <urn:uuid:8d511ede-bb45-4d8a-a29b-2aec7309f63b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://galileosg.com/2023/03/31/managed-services-a-better-understanding/ | 2023-09-28T18:28:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.921883 | 698 |

Popular Zimbabwean Prophet, P Alpha, has today warned those planning a coup in Zimbabwe that this will not being about leadership true change, but chaos and death.
Prophet Alpha said God has shown him that a fourth man will rise in Zimbabwe and he will solve all the problems in Zimbabwe.
Prophet Alpha said the fourth man will bring about changes in Zimbabwe that no one has ever expected.
Prophet P Alpha said between 2021 and 2023 there will be surprising leadership changes that will happen as God starts removing those who were involved in the 2017 Coup.
He said warned the MDC against being involved if any violent way of removing the current leadership are being planned.

My Top 20 from the Independent Games Festival 2015 (Part 1)
Here we are again. It’s early in another new year and I’ve gone through all of the entrants in the Independent Games Festival. There were 639 games entered for 2015 and I wound up with a “short” list of 93. From there I hemmed and hawed for a while and ultimately decided on just 20 that I think are the specialest. Today I’ll post the first ten (in alphabetical order) and finish it up with another post tomorrow.
Against the Wall by Michael Consoli
It may not have been on my Top Twenty list last year but I am all about it in 2015. I played the alpha version again, climbed as high as I wanted to and said “enough, enough now”. I need to know that whatever happens next is final release before I go any higher.
C-Wars by Onipunks
What looked so fascinating in Crystalides has been refined and distilled into C-Wars and… I’m not sure I’ll love it. The demo build is very rough but it holds the same pixelart cyberpunk vibe I’ve been into since 2012. It’s now equipped with an FTL vibe where you choose to confront or avoid conflict, a leveling systems and a peculiar real time strategy combat mechanic. It’s still promising but far removed from what I was originally so in love with.
Captain Forever Remix by Dean Tate and Brian Chan
I first discovered Captain Forever in 2012 and obsessively played the web demo version but never bought into the expansion. This has been corrected now that I’ve pre-ordered the reimagining that is Remix. Crazy new art accompanies what will be a deep, terrifying hole of frantic ship building and salvaging. Everything I loved about the original with a hopeful glut of new stuff on top.
Chained by DigiPen Team Those Guys
I’ve found my mini trend of the year and it’s ‘gameplay mechanics that help as well as hurt’. In the case of Chained it’s a ball and chain attached to your character that you use to demolish your way through an already distraught dreamscape. The modeling and animation are fantastic while the platforming sections are augmented just enough by the ball and chain physics to be interesting.
Cosmonautica by Chasing Carrots
When they say a “fresh, funky and funny blend of space trading and life simulation” they look to deliver. It’s The Sims in managing your crew’s needs and making sure your ship has all the rooms they need. It’s also got a Spreadsheets in Space economy and FTL’s real time terror combat that I love to hate. Soon as it’s out of Early Access, I’m all in.
The Curious Expedition by Maschinen-Mensch
I told myself I wasn’t going to get into more procedurally generated, roguelike adventures but The Curious Expedition has super sweet pixelart. Thankfully, it’s top-down, hex-based perspective and party management are equally enticing. Like Gods will be Watching you have to manage your crew’s emotions as well as the external forces threatening to end your expedition with each move. It also looks like you can discover dinosaurs!
Donut County by Ben Esposito
I do-nut what to say about this one. You control a hole that gets bigger as it swallows up colorful scenery and ridiculously cute critters. Very much what I’d call Noby Noby Boy meets Katamari. It looks perfectly, magically insane.
Fort Meow by Rhys Davies
It’s like Angry Birds in reverse. You’re the one building forts out of furniture to provide solace for a young girl from needy, clingy cats. Between waves you can scavenge the house for new items — some provide unique bonuses, some are just hefty — to fend off an increasingly persistent array of felines. It’s a downright pleasant experience from the art to the adorable cat animations to the endless purrs you hear on the game over screen.
Hero Generations by Heart Shaped Games
I came across the beta of this game years ago on Facebook and played a ton of it. Not long after the beta was taken down and promises were made that Hero Generations would reemerge. I’m still waiting (but it’s finally very close).
The concept is simple and grand: each square you move on the map is a year in your life. Youth, middle age and elderly phases have their own benefits and drawbacks. You’re out to maximize your time adventuring (and pillaging and fighting) while also winning over a quality mate. Because when you die you take over as your child with inherited strengths, weaknesses and inheritance. It’s roguelike, terrifying and awesome. I can’t wait to play it again!
Hex Heroes by Prismatic Games
Much like the FPS/RTS mashup, Savage, Hex Heroes aims to do some unique stuff with co-op. Potentially a Wii U game I’d buy a Wii U for, the player with the GamePad is given a top down view of a strategy game style map. They command up to four other players on the TV who have their own roles to play; be it combat, resource gathering or dispelling the fog of war over the map. I doubt I’d ever get together with enough people to make it work but it’s a fantastic idea and I’d love to see it happen. | <urn:uuid:9043e936-a131-41c3-ad2f-fc1915208f30> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://gameluv.com/luv/6885/my-top-20-from-the-independent-games-festival-2015-part-1/ | 2023-09-28T18:50:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.943939 | 1,185 |
The game’s creator, Markus Persson, is a child of the 1980s computer scene. He began programming at age seven on his father’s Commodore 128. In his early 20s, he worked for an online photo-album site and programmed games on his own computer in his free time. In 2009, he released the first version of Minecraft. The game is designed to generate a unique world for each player, and the user can chop the earth to produce building blocks. These blocks can then be connected to one another and create structures quickly.
Using tools and resources, Minecraft allows players to create a world in which to build, explore, and interact. The blocks are much like those used to build a house or a fortress. Players learn about design and construction techniques by constructing homes and other structures. The game is also a great tool for forming an identity. It can give players the ability to explore and form new worlds with new characters. The endless possibilities of Minecraft make it a unique and enduring game for everyone.
In addition to the basic game mechanics, players can create interesting sub-mechanics. For instance, they can craft tools from various blocks, which they can use to create new items. The world is infinitely large on a horizontal plane, but there are still limitations to vertical movement. Minecraft has a number of technical problems when attempting to travel to faraway locations. To solve this problem, the game splits world data into chunks, which are only loaded when players are nearby.
In addition to being easy to learn and a fun game to play, Minecraft also encourages creativity in all its users. By providing players with a variety of building materials and tools, players can make anything they want in the game and develop new skills at the same time. And despite its inherent riskiness, it encourages creative thinking and learning among its users. Ultimately, the game rewards both players and non-players. The world of Minecraft is a truly creative place, and it’s a good place to begin.
In addition to building things and creating stories, players can also interact with virtual creatures, such as dinosaurs and otters. Some of these creatures can be tamed and others killed. In one experiment, Jordan harnessed the mooshroom’s movement to produce randomness. The mooshroom tumbling on the plates in a random pattern was the result of a maze made of gray stones and pressure plates.
In addition to its creative gameplay, Minecraft also supports modding. This is a great way to extend the game’s replay value. There are thousands of different types of modded content available for the game, and fans can create their own versions. Many players prefer to create their own custom mods to add to the game’s experience. If you want to create the game’s features yourself, you can download a free Minecraft modding tool or watch a YouTube video. | <urn:uuid:c75084e5-f95a-4220-abb0-d9271980c8ad> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://gamerscorechart.com/the-endless-possibilities-of-minecraft/ | 2023-09-28T17:43:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.962809 | 591 |
Last weekend, Ubisoft revealed the first details about Rainbow Six Siege Year 6, Season 2, entitled Operation North Star, including its new Defender, Thunderbird. Real name Mina Sky, Thunderbird is an indigenous healer / medic who hails from the Nakoda tribes who originally lived in Montana and Western Canada. You can watch a short cinematic introduction to Thunderbird below.
And here’s the full reveal of Thunderbird gameplay …
For those who don’t have time to watch the full video, Thunderbird’s gadget is the Kona Healing Station, which can plant them wherever they want. The healing station can deploy health multiple times (during a cool down period), but beware – your enemies can take advantage of it too, so it’s probably best to move it regularly or hide it in tricky locations. Oh, and just because she’s a healer doesn’t mean Thunderbird is defenseless – she’s going to battle the Spear .308 assault rifle or SPAS-15 shotgun, with the Bearing 9 or Q-929 as her secondary.
Of course, Operation North Star will include several other features alongside Thunderbird, including a rework of the Favela map and more. Here’s one quick overview what the RSS team in Montreal, Canada is working on…
North Star is the next season of R6 and features Tweaks for the Operator gadgets for Smoke, Mira, Maestro and Melusi, as well as a host of game improvements, including some major changes to barrel attachments. The Favela map has also been reworked into a night map, with a more interconnected map and far less destructible exterior walls.
Rainbow Six Siege is available now for PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X / S, PS4 and PS5. Operation North Star arrives on the test servers tomorrow. There’s no word yet on when next season will be available to everyone, but they usually keep testing for two or three weeks before kicking off.

There weren’t any clear plans for the construction so I had to wing it mostly. That’s OK, the only drawback to being creative is my zero experience raising chickens, so I would not know if some of the features of the coop would work or not in a real chicken situtation. I knew the coop needed some nest boxes, a perch, a way for the hens to get to the second floor, and chicken wire all around the ground floor. Here’s a pic of the almost finished henhouse, with the nest boxes, and enclosed ground floor.
The frame members are cedar 2x4’s. They were on sale at the local lumberyard so the price wasn’t ridiculously high, just expensive. The A-frame layout makes a very strong structure which isn’t likely to get blown over. The coop is about 5’ by 5 1/2’. It’s built on a rectangular frame of 2x4’a with the A-frame built on top of that. The A-frame 2x4’s were notched to accommodate the horizontal crosspieces so all the frame members were in the same plane. This allowed the roof panels to go directly on the frame without additional lumber. I was trying to use as little lumber as possible in order to keep the weight low. The lower horizontal crosspiece supports the penthouse floor and extends past the house so a handle or rope can be attached.
The roof on one side is fixed. I used some leftover metal roofing to cover that side. The peak has an open space about one inch wide for ventilation. The grooves in the roofing panel should allow for air to enter at the bottom and flow inside to the ridgetop.
The other side has a hinged roof panel built of 2x2 cedar. I bought one sheet of clear roofing which did not quite cover the hinged side. Considering the cost of this stuff I decided to fill in the rest with a piece of metal roofing. My thinking here is that hens need light in order to lay eggs, so why not let in natural light. I thought the clear side could face away from the sun in hot weather and also be propped open a bit. During the winter the clear side could face the sun and also bales of straw could be stacked against the coop for insulation. That was the plan anyway. This is a recent pic of the finished coop.
This is the hinged door to access the nest boxes.
The chickens need a chicken ladder to get from the ground floor to the penthouse suite. Here’s a pic of the chicken ladder down. The rope is threaded through some eye bolts to the outside where it can be cleated.
Here’s the chicken ladder raised up. It would take a very determined predator to get past the ladder once it is raised.
The one part of the coop that I really don’t like is the ridge top. It needs a flexible ridgetop so the hinged side can be raised and lowered. The only thing I could find was a rubber floor liner which is not nearly thick enough. Anyone has any ideas where I can get a more solid sheet of flexible material please leave a comment.
Lastly here's a recent pic of the finished house with the hinged lid propped open. A perch made of closet rod has been installed and a handle was attached to the crosspiece extensions for pulling the coop. The coop is not all that heavy and is easy to pull over level ground. Hope you enjoyed the tour. | <urn:uuid:5a1c0025-f6b2-4c55-b122-ad0c9f3dfcb8> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://gardenvariety-hoosier.blogspot.com/2011/09/mobile-frame-henhouse.html | 2023-09-28T17:50:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.963867 | 751 |
The summer break is here and as a parent, you’re probably wondering how you can keep your kids engaged and learning during this long holiday. It’s very important that you find a way to do this because failure to keep learning would lead to what is called a summer learning loss in students.
We would be considering the fact that even though we want our kids to keep learning, we have to ensure that they can have fun and rest as well. After all, that’s what the summer break is for, isn’t it?
So with that in mind, let’s take a look at 5 ways through which you can keep your kids engaged and learning this summer while having fun and relaxing too!
1. Register them for a summer program:
Summer programs are designed to be filled with a lot of learning and fun. These programs offer children the opportunity to learn a lot of skills that are not taught within the four walls of a school. Summer programs are organized in a way that allows children to choose the skills they’d love to learn, unlike the school setting where they have to take on some compulsory subject.
During summer programs, children can learn new skills like coding, robotics, animation, game design, music, writing, videography, photography, and so many more! The interesting thing about summer programs is that every skill that children learn can go as far as opening doors of job opportunities for them in the future.
There is also a benefit for you as a parent – you can have peace of mind during summer, knowing that your kids are making good use of their long holiday. Just in case you’re wondering what summer program to register your child for, you can click this link to register your child to learn about tech.
2. Get your children to read books.
Asides from registering your kids for summer programs, you can also get them to read during the break. This is a very easy thing to do!
No! It doesn’t have to be an “introduction to chemistry” or “literature” kind of book. It just has to be a book that your child can learn from. It could even be a magazine, a self-help book, or some fictional story. They’re good to go as long as there’s something to learn.
Books help kids to learn and to arouse their curiosity. It also helps to improve their creativity as well. If you want your child to rise beyond the ordinary, you should get them reading! Just like Jim Rohn rightly said, “reading is essential for those who seek to rise above the ordinary”
If you struggle to get your kids to read, then you should click here to find out 5 ways to improve your child’s reading habit.
3. Build their vocabulary.
Vocabulary building is also a very effective way to keep your children learning during summer, and it’s quite easy to do this. You’ll be required to write out 3-5 new words on a board or a piece of paper along with their pronunciation and meaning.
Your child can then proceed to learn each of these words each day and make sentences with them. You can repeat this weekly, thrice a week, or even daily. The more your child learns a new word, the more their vocabulary is built. A d the more their vocabulary is built, the better English they’d speak. To spice it up, you can give your child rewards for words that they learned perfectly.
4. Visit historical places and create new memories:
Historical places have a lot of lessons to teach. Plus, these places are always filled with fun things along the way! Even if your children aren’t the travel type, I’m sure that seeing new and interesting places will excite them. Here in Nigeria, we have a lot of fun, historic places to visit.
Visiting historical places will also help your children to learn better about historical facts that have been read in books. Imagine visiting the first storey building in Nigeria? The feeling will be so surreal because your kids can now experience what they have been taught in class.
While you visit these places with your family, it also helps you to create new memories and spend some quality time together.
5. Hire a tutor.
We mustn’t forget that after the summer break, your kids are definitely going to return to school. So it’s also safe to hire a tutor during the summer break so that they can start preparing for the term ahead.
This is one of the reasons why we provide professional tutors here at GATE Academy who can qualitatively teach your children and of course, also prepare them for the next class. Our tutors also relate with their students on a personal level, hence, they’re able to help them build their confidence and self-worth. Click this link to Hire A Tutor today.
The summer break doesn’t have to be boring! These 5 tips are going to help you engage your kids during summer with a spice of learning and fun.

It happened. I finally received my first invite to a luncheon this summer! In the Hamptons, no less!
An Emotional Moment
Girlfriends, can we talk?
My head is spinning. Now I am gettin’ a hot flash. Do I detect a little underarm perspiration?
I mean, really. This is big news! At least in my teeny tiny world. Someone actually wanted little ole’ me to attend their event. Can you believe it?
And between you and me, this is not your regular iced tea and salad lunch date.
You betcha baby! This is a Hamptons Luncheon, where attendees include a magazine and a celebrity.
Oy vey. I am totally verklmept. Work with me kids. Basic Yiddish 101 for being ‘overcome with emotion’.
You can be sure that when I received the invite, I responded ‘yes’ within 5 seconds. Well, maybe I waited a minute, so as not to reveal my irrational exuberance!
To be clear, I am a refined, highly educated, sophisticated Woman, who knows how to exercise restraint.
Yeah right girlfriends! And believe me when I tell you that this Hot Mama is as subtle as a bull in a China shop!
It has been like forever… since I attended a luncheon.
What do you wear to a ‘luncheon event’ in the Hamptons? I have no idea. Of course, I emailed the person who invited me, and asked “ What is the Attire?”.
I know. I am a total schmuck to even inquire as to what to wear to a Hamptons Luncheon. Like Duh. the answer was: “A dress”.
Sistahs, I knew I would have to wear a dress.
I am sorry. I just feel that I do not look good in a dress. Keep in mind, this is just in my head. On the rare occasion that I ‘don’ a dress, ‘the people’, A.K.A. ‘onlookers’ or ‘gawkers’ always compliment me.
People lie. Sad but true.
So many factors create this poor self-image. On the day that I have to wear a dress, I could have bad belly bloat akin to that of a woman who is 6 months pregnant.
I have very long, skinny legs, which were constantly mocked by other kids during my childhood. Not only was I brutalized for having the name ‘Gay’, but kids managed to refer to me as ‘Olive Oil’ or ‘Chicken Legs’. I know. Nice.
There is some baggage that never gets lost.
However, the funny thing with dresses is that I never need them fitted. I literally waltz into TJ Maxx, pick a dress off the rack, and go home. No, I rarely try on a dress prior to purchasing it, because I can literally ‘eyeball’ the dress style and measurements and know it will fit.
I know, I know. And I am biatchin’ and moanin’ that I don’t like to wear a dress. What can I say?
Pick a Damn Dress
Clearly, I will wear a dress to this event.
Problem: So many dresses to choose! Rumor has it, I have a few summer frocks in my closet. Many of these dresses are pre-pandemic.
Query: Are they still in style? I don’t know. I don’t wear dresses!
The attire for the luncheon calls for a ‘summer dress’. So, it can’t be a fancy schmancy evening cocktail or party dress. Well, scratch those black dresses off the list.
As I peruse through my closet, I find a cute pink dress, another white dress with flowers, you get the picture. This is when I get nervous. Do I try them on? Would they be too loud? Let’s face it, I am loud enough, that I do not need to wear a fuchsia dress to an intimate luncheon. Or can I? I just don’t know!
Emergency Run to TJ Maxx
You betcha baby. I went runnin’ to TJ Maxx to find a new dress. Keep in mind, the dresses in my closet were only worn once (if that).
Of course, I found these beautiful silky, flowy Theory dresses. You betcha baby! I saw another mama oglin’ the dresses.
I ask my sistahs: What is a crazed hot mama to do? You know me to well! I jumped to the rack with those long chicken legs of mine and grabbed the dresses from the rack and ran to the cashier with my AMEX card in hand!
Aw, no hard feelings. Hell no! Sorry biatch… you know the rules in TJ Maxx. If the prized dress is not in your hand, then too bad, so sad for you girlfriend. You snooze, you lose. So sad. Not!
I have a problem. I know, I am fraught with issues.
My hairstylist is Amy, and she is amazing. She books out for appointments months in advance.
2 weeks ago, I show up for my scheduled appointment for my color and haircut. And by the by, this appointment is like clockwork.
However, this appointment is different than all other appointments (and no, this is not a lead-in to Passover). I walk in the door, and Amy does not say ‘hi’, rather, she says in jaw-dropped surprise, “what are you doing here”.
Well, what kind of greeting is that? I’m thinkin’ to myself, which I actually blurted out, “are you kidding me?”. Like OMG. I thought I was going to faint.
Girlfriends, to me, hair is sacred. Excuse Moi, but really.
I have known Amy for 19 years… this never happened. Amy can’t find my appointment in her calendar. Well, wouldn’t ya know that OCD Gay kept the email appointment confirmation from Amy.
Yes ma’m. Exhibit ‘A’: Amy sent me an email that she drafted 2 months ago confirming the appointment she scheduled for me.
Amy could only color my hair, not cut it. Biatch! But what was I to do? I am at her mercy.
Sistahs, the hairstylist is the ruler of my universe. I don’t ask for much in life, just good consistent color and a nice haircut.
And you know what I got that day? Bupkus! Which means not much. The color came out too light, and I needed a haircut, which I did NOT get. I tried to be subtle, and hide my disappoint and tears, but again, that would not be me.
Can you blame me? I flipped out.

Stan Lee, the creator of every Marvel character you love, has passed away at age 95. He’s lived a remarkable life and has left a huge mark on the world. We have him to thank for X-Men, Iron Man, Fantastic Four, and yes, Spider-Man!
What’s really amazing about so many of the heroes Stan Lee helped create is that they’re real characters steeped in real life issues. The X-Men reflected so much about world history. Magneto was a villain, but he was also a Holocaust survivor, and much of his villainy was rooted in his fears about seeing genocide occur against another group. Mutants became the ultimate metaphor for any group that was an outsider or feared by the majority. They maybe put too fine a point on it in X-Men 2 when Iceman’s mother asks him if can just “not” be a mutant, but the underlying comparison to the gay and lesbian movement is pretty clear.
Then there’s Spider-Man. First of all, he’s a nerdy kid, not a billionaire or an alien. More importantly, his entire origin is rooted in the tragedy of his uncle dying, and as a result, he lives by 6 words: With great power comes great responsibility. The one loophole there is probably Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark, as that caused a lot of harm to both the actors and the audiences forced to watch it.
Seriously, this is what happens when you try to make a Spider-Man show that doesn’t include a Stan Lee cameo:
Stan Lee’s humanistic influence on superheroes echoes throughout Marvel Comics even today. Part of what’s made Marvel Cinematic Universe successful is that the characters are people first, heroes second. And in the comics, they’ve featured a Muslim-American woman as a hero and a black Spider-Man. Marvel and Stan Lee’s influence on it manage to reflect the best in society, where superheroes shoulder responsibilities despite adversity.
So on that note, here’s a supercut of Stan Lee’s cameos in the movies he helped create. Apparently, he filmed his cameos for Captain Marvel and Infinity War 2, so we’ll have two more opportunities to play “Spot the Stan Lee” cameo before it’s the end of an era for comic books everywhere. | <urn:uuid:f3c26e01-c351-4b64-a877-d1a31440e7c4> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://geardiary.com/2018/11/12/rest-in-peace-stan-lee/ | 2023-09-28T18:52:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.960483 | 499 |

Singapore scientists have developed a quantum chipset, however, this is not a central processor, but a communication
The new chip uses standard algorithmsquantum communication, providing the highest security in comparison with other existing methods. In this case, the password of the cipher itself is integrated into the same data stream that is transmitted. This is a quantum crypto key. After the information has been received and decrypted, it is immediately destroyed, and the key too.
Those devices that are currentlyexist and work in this area, they are bulky, they reach the size of the freezer, and some even the whole room. The new chip has become a breakthrough, because it is smaller by orders of magnitude. Its size allows you to use the chip and all the advantages of quantum encryption in devices such as routers, modems and smartphones, smart watches and other wearable electronics with communication functions. This will ensure the most secure transactions (if you have to pay with a smartphone, transfer money), as well as a powerful encryption of electronic messages. Perhaps in the near future this can be applied to voice data.
There is another important advantage of new items overhuge competitors - the cost of production. It is very low due to the fact that conventional materials and technologies that exist and have long been used are used. Materials, by the way, are silicon.
According to one of the creators, the new chipdemonstrates the future in ensuring the safety of communications, the study has brought humanity as close as possible to real quantum computing. A new generation communication device can be created on the basis of this chip, it will be of great importance for the development of online services in the financial sector, as well as in the field of public services.
Communication quanta at work
Danish experts created quantumthe router is compact in size, which is an important step towards a secure Internet that will not be subject to hackers. The router combined two technologies - nanomechanics of photonics. These areas were previously considered incompatible. The size of the component is amazing - it is ten times thinner than a human hair, so using it on the Internet and even on a computer is not only possible, but also inevitable. These particles of light can not be intercepted, the data at some point go into a state of light, and then are collected again in electrons. And this interrupt cannot be collected by any interceptors.
Previously, scientists managed to send only a fewphotons, but now the technology has become scalable, this is the main result of the Danes invention. To create secure computers and the Internet, micromodules with quantum routers and routers must be integrated into the chips, and this is possible for any existing chip maker. | <urn:uuid:46ad4c87-12d3-4e99-a661-186fff46ed18> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://geektech.me/quantum-smartphone-singapore-created-a-3-mm-quantum-chip/ | 2023-09-28T18:30:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.955477 | 556 |
If you’re putting your skip entirely on private land, you don’t need a permit at all. For those of us who don’t have the luxury of our own estate, however, things are a bit more complicated. There are several regulations to follow if you don’t want to find yourself with a fine of up to £1,000.
In many cases, the company that you hire a skip from will be able to get the licence for you from the local council, but it doesn’t work this way in every area. You need to check when you are talking to the skip hire company. Keep in mind that these regulations also apply to hippo bags and other big rubble bags.
Restrictions and safety measures
The skip, even if it’s actually one of the smaller hippo bags, isn’t allowed on the pavement and has to go on the road. Even once you’ve put it on the road, you’re still responsible for ensuring that people and cars can clearly see it. Also, you need to make sure that the skip is not causing an obstruction – for example, by being placed on a corner so that people can’t see round it and are at risk of walking into oncoming traffic.
Traffic cones are a good idea to draw motorists’ attention to the fact that there is an obstruction in the road. A good skip hire company will make sure that their name and contact number is prominently displayed on the skip.
A skip that is easy to see in daylight may become a hazard at night, especially if you live in an area where there isn’t a lot of street lighting. In any case, even in urban areas, street lights are turned off or dimmed in the middle of the night, so you’ll need reflective markings that will show up in a car’s headlights and night-time lamps for safety if possible.
Be sure to watch the time limit as the permit lasts 28 days. If you need a further two days, for example, you’ll have to pay for another 28-day period! | <urn:uuid:3e9fcfe3-eedd-48a4-abd6-024dcfbb8842> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://generationguy.com/reviews/what-do-i-need-a-skip-permit-for/ | 2023-09-28T17:58:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.957787 | 445 |
Coco Chanel once said that perfume should be applied to the places that are meant for kissing. Of course, there is some truth in these words. However, there are many secrets of the proper use of perfume. If you follow these tips, you can achieve a long-lasting scent.
Find pulse points
Pulse points are located where blood vessels are closest to the skin. These areas can generate heat by which perfume is best spread in the air. Applying your favorite perfume on the inside of the wrists, elbows, at the base of the throat, behind the earlobes or on the inside of the knees, you can be sure that the heat generated will interact with the fragrance, and a pleasant scent will last all day. Do not apply perfume on the chest and armpits – these body parts tend to sweat very much, and the result may be unpredictable.
Spray or dab?
Women are very much interested in how to apply perfume properly. Usually they apply it depending on the vial – dabbing, spraying, or using compact wipes if it is a solid perfume. Some women spray a cloud of perfume in the air and walk through it. This is a wonderful way, but not quite economical, because a lot of precious fragrant liquid is wasted.
Use perfume before you put on clothes and jewelry. Many fragrances leave stains on fabrics, pearls, and metals. After applying perfume on the skin, it should dry out a bit. There are three stages of a fragrance, which develop with time. Please do not rub the perfume, or it can completely lose its individuality.
If you want the fragrance to last as long as possible and be sensed by all the people around, you can apply some fragrance on your hair. The hair should be clean, with no styling products that can distort the smell. All perfumes contain alcohol, which can dry up your hair. It is desirable to spray the perfume at a distance of 20-30 cm from the hair and in small quantities.
The fragrance will last longer than a day
There are a few secrets for the pleasant smell to last as long as possible. For example, it will evaporate much faster on dry skin, so always use a moisturizer before applying the perfume. Many women first apply vaseline on the skin and then – their favorite fragrance. Perfume drops in this case will cling to the fat basis and will not sink into the pores of the skin. All this is true only for women with normal to dry skin. Those who have oily and combination skin have no need to moisturize it before spraying the perfume.
Before purchasing, carefully study fragrance concentration. “Parfum” always last much longer than “Eau de parfum”. The latter is more resistant than “Eau de Toilette.” Store your favorite fragrance in a tightly sealed bottle in a dry place with no sunlight.
Chypre, musk, and woody scents are much more lasting than sea and floral ones. If you’ve been using the same perfume for a long time, smell receptors refuse to accept them, so you should not scold the manufacturer – most likely everyone around can sense your scent well.
How and when to choose perfume?
Choose and buy perfume in the first part of the day. At this time, the nose does a better job. Do not try many different scents at once – you will just get confused and stop smelling. It can do serious damage to the nasal receptors. It is best to try no more than three fragrances in one visit to the perfume shop.
Take a test day with a new fragrance
Do not rush buying a perfume. Even if you love the smell on the test strip, spray the perfume on yourself and keep it during the day. It may happen that you will no longer like the scent at the end of the day. Better find this out before you buy the perfume. | <urn:uuid:43b79cdb-f871-486b-ad1e-963bbbe63e1a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://geniusbeauty.com/fragrances/how-make-fragrance-scent-last-longer/ | 2023-09-28T18:26:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.948038 | 817 |
For ten years I've freelanced under a my web development and consulting business — SnapTortoise. The name was actually a recommendation from a friend of mine, because I thought I would attract bigger clients if I didn't operate under my name, and because a coworker of his had drawn a really cool picture of a snapping turtle, though in hindsight maybe not a great logo.
I won't claim it was the most thoughtful approach, but I'm sure names have been chosen for worse reasons. Probably. In my meager defense, I was young and figured I'd change it.
Ten years later I'm still using that name, though I still sometimes think about changing it. In that time I've learned a few important things you should consider before naming your business:
Don't underestimate people's ability to misspell a word like tortoise.
When choosing an animal, consider that aligning yourself with something that is slow and prone to biting people may not the best way to broadcast your services...
...but truthfully, after perhaps the first conversation, the name will probably never come up again, so don't sweat it too much.
If your business name consists of a few real words strung together that have nothing to do with your field, you may find yourself on the receiving end of some fantastic email solicitations such as this one: | <urn:uuid:ed5a3a20-f108-4743-a166-0202255c3e40> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://george.mand.is/2017/02/what-is-a-snap-tortoise/ | 2023-09-28T17:10:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.981707 | 274 |
As insignificant as it may seem at first glance, removing tree stumps from your property is an important part of landscape maintenance. Neglected tree stumps can have far-reaching effects on your immediate environment as well as the natural world as a whole. In this article, we’ll examine the hazards and benefits associated with leaving tree stumps in place, and we’ll discuss why it’s important to get rid of them.
A healthier landscape and a safer, more sustainable future can be the result of stump removal, which is why it’s important to know why and how to do it whether you’re a homeowner, a property manager, or an environmental enthusiast.
What Is A Stump Removal?
After a tree has been cut down or has fallen naturally, the act of removing the tree stump and the root system that is attached to it is referred to as stump removal. The objective is to remove all obvious remains of the tree stump, freeing up space in the region for use in other aspects of landscaping or for the prevention of prospective problems such as the return of pests or dangerous regrowth.
The removal of a stump normally involves using a variety of techniques and pieces of machinery to extract the stump and its roots from the ground. This is done to ensure that the stump will not cause any additional issues in the future. Stump grinding, chemical decomposition, burning, excavation, and engaging expert tree removal services are some of the ways that fall under this category. The procedure that is used is determined by several criteria, including the dimensions of the stump, the available resources, and the preferences of the individual.
Why Is It Important To Remove Tree Stumps?
There are many reasons why it’s crucial to get rid of tree stumps:
- Safety: Tree stumps can be hazardous, especially when they’re hidden by grass or other vegetation. They pose a tripping and injury risk to people, especially children playing in the yard, and can damage lawnmowers or other equipment if accidentally hit.
- Pest Infestations: Tree stumps can attract pests like termites, ants, and beetles. These pests can not only damage the stump but may also spread to nearby trees or even your home, causing costly and potentially irreversible damage.
- Disease Control: Tree stumps can harbour diseases that can infect nearby plants or trees. By removing the stump, you can prevent the spread of diseases and protect the overall health of your landscape.
- Improved Aesthetics: A yard with tree stumps can look unkempt and less appealing. Removing stumps can enhance the visual appeal of your property, making it more inviting and easier to maintain.
- Space Utilization: Stumps take up valuable space in your yard that could be used for planting new trees, shrubs, or other landscaping features. Removing stumps can free up space for more practical or aesthetically pleasing uses.
- Preventing Regrowth: Some tree species can sprout new growth from the stump, leading to the return of unwanted vegetation. Removing the stump can prevent this regrowth.
- Easier Lawn Care: Stumps can make mowing and maintaining your lawn difficult. Removing them simplifies lawn care and allows for more effective landscaping.
- Environmental Impact: In some cases, tree stumps can impede natural water drainage, causing erosion and other environmental issues. Removing stumps can help maintain healthy water flow patterns.
- Property Value: A well-maintained and visually appealing yard can increase the value of your property. Removing tree stumps can be a small investment with a potentially significant return when it comes to property appraisal and resale value.
- Compliance: Local regulations and homeowner association rules may require the removal of tree stumps. Failing to comply with these regulations can lead to fines or other penalties.
It’s not only about curb appeal when it comes to removing tree stumps; doing so is important for reasons of health, safety, and the value of your home as a whole. Whether your priority is the well-being of your family, the success of your garden, or the aesthetic appeal of your yard, stump removal is an essential step.
What Is The Fastest Way To Remove A Tree Stump?
Budget, available machinery, and the stump’s size all play a role in determining which method of removal is the most efficient. Here are some options, from the quickest to the slower but more convenient ones:
- Stump Grinder: This is the fastest and most efficient method for removing tree stumps. Stump grinders are powerful machines that use a rotating cutting wheel to grind the stump and its roots into small wood chips. They are typically available for rent at equipment rental stores. This method is quick and effective but may require some skill to operate safely.
- Chemical Stump Remover: Chemical stump removers contain potassium nitrate, which accelerates the decomposition of the wood. The process can take several weeks, but it’s a relatively low effort. Drill holes into the stump, apply the chemicals and wait for it to soften before breaking it apart with an axe or similar tool.
- Burning: You can also burn a stump, but this method can take some time and may not be allowed in all areas due to fire regulations. Drill holes into the stump, fill them with kerosene or another accelerant and ignite it. The stump will burn down to ashes over time.
- Excavation: If the stump is relatively small, you can dig it out manually with a shovel or an excavator if the stump is larger. This can be time-consuming and physically demanding, especially for larger stumps.
- Natural Decay: Left alone, a stump will eventually decay naturally over several years. This is the slowest method and is not recommended if you want a quick removal.
- Professional Removal: Hiring a professional tree removal service with specialized equipment can be the fastest and safest way to remove a stump, especially for large or challenging stumps.
Before deciding on a method for removing the tree stump, it is important to take into account your current degree of experience, the amount of money you have available, and the dimensions of the stump. When removing a stump, safety should always be your top priority, and you should follow any local rules or legislation that may be in effect in your region. Because of the physical strain that can be caused by certain methods, such as stump grinders and excavation, take extra precautions to protect yourself from injury.
The removal of a tree stump is necessary for a variety of reasons, including the protection of people and property, the management of pests and diseases, the improvement of aesthetics, and increased property value. Utilising a stump grinder is often the procedure that results in the quickest elimination of a tree stump, followed by chemical stump removal and finally burning.
However, the method you select will be determined by your financial constraints, the availability of appropriate equipment, and the dimensions of the stump. When removing stumps, safety should always be your top priority, and you should also be aware of any applicable local restrictions. If you are unclear on how to proceed or are dealing with a large or complex stump, it is sometimes preferable to contact a professional tree removal service to find a solution that is both safe and effective.

Sharing an intertwined culinary, religious, and cultural history, Georgia and Armenia have long had much to celebrate. From shared inspirations in the kitchen to a legacy of fending off invading forces from the Ottoman, Russian, and Persian empires, the duo make up the heart of the South Caucasus. However, the two cultures came together not only with food, wine, and song, but with the legendary Soviet-era film ‘Mimino’.
For the uninitiated, the film Mimino is a 1977 comedy by Georgian director Georgiy Daneliya starring Vakhtang Kikabidze, who plays pilot Valiko Mizandari, nicknamed Mimino, and Frunzik Mkrtchyan, who plays truck driver Ruben Khachikyan. In short, the story follows the two, who, after making friends in Moscow, engage in various adventures including a criminal case, flying one of the Soviet Union’s most advanced commercial airliners, and eventually returning to Telavi.
The film has garnered a form of cult following, with more and more young people enjoying the film and relating to its underlying theme of always remembering where you came from and returning to one’s roots. Additionally, it is the hilarious combination of the two, the ambitious but homesick Georgian pilot and the ever-energetic and optimistic Armenian trucker, that brings the two communities together. In the northern Armenian town of Dilijan, that essence was last month combined with an exquisite festival of local dishes, sleek-flavored and unique wines, and of course mouth-watering street food.
Combined with artisans from both nations presenting their handiwork, the main street in Dilijan rang with the sounds of traditional music and crackling grills. Adorning the scene were iconic quotes from the movie, the old repurposed army truck used in the film, as well as a used tire – an item only true fans of the film will recognize. A stage in the center of the festival played the film on repeat, with each country showcasing their traditional dances and music alongside.
The Mimino Festival, a first of its kind, displays the similarities as well as the differences in both nation’s offerings. While some dishes share similar spice combinations, vegetables, or cuts of meat, others are unique only to one of the two. Wine, a hallmark of both nation’s table sets, flowed plentifully, allowing visitors to imbibe the best of both countries’ harvests.
What the event aims for, aside from driving down the hunger and thirst of the throngs of visitors from a myriad of nations, is increased cultural cooperation between the two countries. In Armenia, which still hosts a small number of Georgian restaurants, there are often the ubiquitous staples of Khinkali or aubergine with walnuts. Georgia likewise shares not only its own version but also the Armenian variation on dolma (or tolma) as well as a selection of Armenian restaurants in the capital of Tbilisi.
With each nation receiving an ever increasing number of tourists per year, the opportunity for the two to offer travelers the experiences of the other is ripe. A culinary, cultural, and economic cross pollination opens the door for tourism in both nations to further develop. While the Mimino Festival is only a microcosm of this collaboration, it shows a sliver of the full potential the South Caucasus duo have in store for those that hunger for more unique experiences in the history-soaked mountains.
Additionally, the town of DIlijan is not chosen lightly as the setting for such an event. The region has been earmarked as a center of intensive development. While the town may seem small upon arrival, it boasts some impressive eateries, awe-inspiring views, and exceptionally comfortable lodging options for any type of traveler. All of this is maintained while still offering a small-town Caucasian experience.
Armenia, like Georgia, has redoubled its efforts in both the private and public sectors in tourism. Be it the wandering backpacker wanting the personal touch of the family guesthouse or the discerning traveler wishing for something more haute couture, Armenia has something for all. Coming from Georgia, Dilijan serves as the perfect first taste of this experience.
At the closing of the festival, dancing troupes from both Armenia and Georgia took to the stage to perform their respective nation’s dances. While only consisting of youth groups, they performed intricately choreographed numbers to historical music that draws from the diverse regions of each country. As the evening turned to night, the crowds were slow to disperse, still savoring the flavors, laughs, and sense of community an event like this can only offer.
Following the event, it’s evident that the impact is real. Each nation, and indeed each region within the country that was represented, left its mark on the visitors leaving them salivating for more. Like the classic film Mimino, the combination of Armenian and Georgian cultures offers a unique experience from which not only locals but tourists from around the world reap the benefits.

We are slaves to our phones. If you forgot how to lose yourself in live music, all you need to do is listen without whipping out your master. When the babble of the masses turn a kid, who took a selfie with Justin, into a meme of checking your phone in the moment, technology becomes air in the mind.

Reliance Jio’s 5G pricing strategy will be similar to its 4G strategy
Among the first companies to roll out 5G services in India, Reliance Jio is preparing to take on its rivals with an aggressive pricing strategy. Reliance Jio’s 5G pricing strategy is similar to its 4G strategy.
Jio has made several acquisitions to help it build a pan-India 5G network. It plans to leverage parts of its existing 4G network for 5G service, while also developing its own network infrastructure. It will also use Ericsson’s 5G Radio Access Network (RAN) equipment for its rollout.
Jio is also planning to offer its first 5G smartphone. However, it hasn’t said exactly what it will be. It is rumored that it will be priced between Rs 8,000 and Rs 12,000. It is also rumored that the device will be available in collaboration with Google.
Jio has also made a bet on an Open RAN architecture. This is a technology that allows users to choose from different vendors’ individual boxes instead of buying a single black box for a whole network. It is also a way to break up a large telecom network into smaller black boxes, thereby achieving interoperability through standards.
Reliance Jio’s 5G service will be available in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Varanasi
Initially, Jio will launch its 5G services in four major cities – Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Varanasi. This will enable Jio to accelerate the transformation of India into a Digital Society. Jio plans to offer these services in other cities by the end of the year.
Jio is aiming to provide the best combination of coverage, capacity and affordability. It is using Carrier Aggregation technology to achieve this. It will be able to provide users with the fastest speeds and a quality of service that is unmatched.
The company has announced that it will use Ericsson as its first partner for radio access network deployment in India. It will provide base stations for the 5G network. It will also provide self-organizing network software.
Jio will offer 5G services to its customers by way of a beta trial program. The company will initially roll out its 5G service in metro cities, followed by tier-2 and tier-3 cities.
DoT is investing around $19.5 billion in building 5G networks by 2022
Several wireless service providers have already spent $121 billion on 5G network infrastructure since 2018. The Global System for Mobile Communications Association estimates that the investment will reach $19.5 billion by 2025. This will allow for exciting new services in critical industries.
According to the latest survey conducted by CTIA, more than two trillion messages will be exchanged between American consumers in 2021. The survey also showed increases in wireless data use. This will require consumers to upgrade their devices.
As the wireless industry has expanded and competition has reduced prices, there has been no sign of slowing down. Verizon has partnered with AWS and Microsoft to offer 5G-enabled cloud services. Similarly, AT&T is ramping up mid-band 5G deployments in C-band spectrum bands.
The DoD’s Office of Under Secretary for Research and Engineering has invested $12 million in research and engineering for 5G. This research is focused on secure operation through 5G networks. The project is also part of the Convergence Accelerator program. The program includes 16 multidisciplinary teams.
What is 5G?
Unlike previous generation networks, 5G technology is meant to serve a much more distributed and asynchronous world. As a result, it is designed for forward compatibility and the ability to scale with emerging technologies. This means that 5G will have the potential to improve connectivity in rural areas as well as in urban areas. This will help consumers get access to more information faster and more efficiently than ever before. This is one of the reasons why the industry trade group GSMA Intelligence projects that around 25% of global connections will be powered by 5G by 2025.
While there are many use cases for 5G, the technology is most widely used for mission-critical communications and IoT applications. These applications require ultra-reliable, low-latency links. In order to meet the reliability and latency requirements of wireless networks, 5G has been designed with an adaptive coding and modulation scheme.

This enables the technology to provide extremely lean connectivity solutions for a wide variety of industries and applications. This includes critical technologies such as smart stadiums and smart transportation. In addition, 5G will enable a new wave of IoT applications. These could include secure data-only connections for home appliances. Another application would be the ability to remotely control heavy machinery. The ability to remotely monitor and track usage could also benefit utilities.
The new 5G networks will provide faster data processing and better coverage than 4G LTE networks. These networks will also enable software-defined subnetwork constructs. This technology allows network administrators to dictate the functionality of the network based on user demands. In addition, these architectures will be highly flexible and agile. These will enable wireless providers to provide multiple services simultaneously.
During the deployment of 5G, mobile providers will have to determine the best use of the spectrum. While there are several different frequencies available, low bands provide a wider range of coverage while higher bands offer greater throughput. Compared to lower-frequency microwaves, millimeter waves are shorter and have a higher difficulty passing through building walls.
The technology is expected to support a variety of applications, including video gaming, virtual reality, and autonomous vehicles. These applications will also enable new applications in machine-to-machine areas. This will also help cities operate more efficiently. For example, municipalities will be able to install surveillance cameras and track usage remotely. In addition, researchers are developing applications that could help fighter pilots maneuver better.
One of the most important applications of 5G is augmented reality. This technology will enable the use of virtual reality devices in the real world. These applications could help researchers and other professionals in a variety of industries, including defense and healthcare. In addition, 5G could also help make virtual reality more immersive.
As a result of 5G’s high bandwidth and low latency, this technology is expected to support the connectivity of billions of IoT devices. As a result, this technology will enable companies to serve more diverse applications and consumers to enjoy more connected experiences..

Whether you’re a consumer or a business, 5G will change your life. It’s a new generation of cellular networks that will make your life easier and more productive. It’s a network with high speed, low latency, and a wide array of connectivity options. You’ll be able to download a 2-hour movie in 10 seconds or stream a 4K video in less than a minute. Whether you’re browsing on your smartphone or on a desktop, you’ll get a better experience when you use 5G. It’s also faster than 4G, which means you can get more done in less time.
With 5G, you can communicate with cloud platforms and make sure you’re never stuck without Internet access. This technology can also enable new services that are not available today. Some of the applications that are currently being developed include augmented reality, virtual reality, and new learning methods.
It’s also been estimated that, in the near future, you’ll be able to carry out medical procedures remotely. For example, traveling nurses could review prescriptions or even onboard patients. Surgeons may no longer be in the same room as patients, as 5G technology will allow for real-time transmission of images. In addition, patients with chronic diseases may be able to return home earlier with the help of wearable technology.
5G will also transform industries, enabling ultra-reliable, low-latency links. It will be especially useful in industries that operate heavy machinery and require remote execution. Farmers can use 5G-enabled sensor technology to better monitor water consumption and yields.
Why India Needs 5G?
Unless you are living under a rock you have probably heard of 5G – the latest mobile technology that is set to revolutionize the way people connect to the Internet. While it is possible to think of 5G in terms of speed and connectivity, the technology is also capable of performing other useful functions. Some of the most exciting uses for 5G are robotic surgery and edge computing. As rajkotupdates.news:pm-modi-india-plans-to-launch-5g-services-soon.
Reliance Jio’s $25 billion plan
Earlier this month, Mukesh Ambani, chairman of Reliance Industries Ltd, announced a $25 billion plan to deploy a stand-alone 5G network in India.
Reliance Jio’s 5G plan is designed to boost the country’s economic growth. Jio plans to become a data-powered economy and connect tens of millions of small merchants with plug-and-play solutions. It will also offer massive machine-to-machine communication. In addition, the company plans to connect billions of smart IoT modules. It will offer Edge computing and low latency.
According to Ambani, Jio will launch a 5G network in Delhi by Diwali. By the end of 2023, it plans to expand its network to every town in India. He also stated that Jio will develop a cheap 5G smartphone.
Millimetre-wave frequencies offer very fast speeds at shorter ranges
Compared to conventional microwave frequencies, millimeter-wave frequencies are shorter and offer very fast speeds at short ranges. This high-frequency band is one of the most important approaches for the next generation of wireless networks. It is also useful in point-to-point wireless local area networks.
These high-frequency bands are also used for cellular communications. The mm-wave frequency band enables data rates of several hundred megabits per second, which is more than enough to transmit 1080p HD video.
Millimeter-wave frequencies are also useful in point-to-point wireless local area networks. They allow for a high data rate while offering excellent privacy and security.
These frequencies are ideal for wireless communications in hard urban environments. They also offer excellent frequency reuse and high security. A narrow beam width prevents interference between neighboring links. This has reduced the regulatory burden for mm-wave communications.
Besides providing great security and privacy, millimeter-wave frequencies offer high data rates. In some cases, the speed of millimetre-wave signals can reach over 10 Gbit/s. They are useful for cellular communications and radar systems. They also are used for active imaging systems.
5G could contribute to the growth of the edge-computing market
Increasing demand for 5G will drive the growth of the edge computing market. A new report from Frost & Sullivan, “5G and Edge Computing: Global Industry Perspective, Forecast, and Opportunity Analysis,” highlights the opportunity for telecom operators to benefit from edge computing.
Edge computing refers to putting storage and servers near end-user devices. This allows large amounts of data to be processed in real-time. The technology also improves the performance of applications. It can reduce network bandwidth and improve customer experience.
Edge computing has applications in many industries. One of the most prominent use cases is in industrial manufacturing. It increases production efficiency and productivity. It also improves interoperability among IoT devices.
Another edge computing use case involves predictive analytics. It enables large industrial manufacturers to analyze data and improve their production processes. In addition to enhancing production efficiency, edge computing can reduce unforeseen downtime.
Another edge computing use case involves machine tools. It allows manufacturers to monitor machine tools in real time.
The most promising use case for 5G is robotics surgery
Surgical robotics and 5G are two technologies that have a lot of promise for the healthcare industry. 5G can help improve the speed and accuracy of procedures and reduce the pressure on healthcare systems. It can also be used for emergency assistance.
Robotics can help surgeons perform procedures from afar. As technology develops, the scope of robotics will increase. Some robots will be connected locally and others will roam. This will enable surgeons to use medical devices from afar and collaborate with other specialists for the first time.
As a result of 5G, surgeons can operate a surgical device from afar and provide expert support without having to travel to a patient’s location. This would allow for greater patient access and a higher level of care.
A Chinese surgeon conducted the world’s first remote operation using 5G technology. He performed brain surgery on a patient in Beijing. In order to perform the surgery, Dr. Zhipei had to travel to China’s Hainan province.
During his speech at the India Today Conclave, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that India plans to launch 5G services soon. rajkotupdates.news:pm-modi-india-plans-to-launch-5g-services-soon. He further stated that the government has launched the 5G testbed in collaboration with the IITs, IISc Bengaluru, and SAMEER.

Uninsured motorist coverage isn’t required in New Hampshire. In fact, it’s the only state that doesn’t require auto insurance—unless you’re convicted of certain traffic violations.
While most states require at least a minimum amount of
liability insurancecoverage to legally drive, New Hampshire is a rare exception. But if you’re at fault in a car accident or charged with particular traffic convictions like a DUI or vehicular assault, then you will be required to purchase both the Granite State’s minimum liability and uninsured/underinsured coverage requirements.
Not sure how it works? That’s why
Jerry, the #1-rated quote comparison app that makes
car insuranceshopping a breeze, is here to go over uninsured motorist coverage in New Hampshire. We’ll dig deeper into why you should consider this coverage and look at how you can lower your
New Hampshire car insurance, too.
Do you need uninsured motorist coverage in New Hampshire?
Uninsured motorist coverageis not legally required by the state of New Hampshire—but should you get it anyway?
According to the
Insurance Information Institute (III), about 6.1% of all drivers in New Hampshire are uninsured as of 2019, ranking it at #7 for states with the lowest percentage of uninsured drivers. This is pretty fantastic news if you live in the Granite State!
Yet, New Hampshire is the only state that doesn’t require auto insurance unless you have recently had an at-fault accident or been charged with one of the following offenses:
- Hit and run
- Vehicular assault
- Second ticket for speeding or other traffic violations
Consequently, you’ll also be required to purchase uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage and
medical payments (MedPay) coverageif you’ve been convicted of one of the previously mentioned charges.
So, if you get into a car accident with an uninsured driver in New Hampshire, you’ll be solely responsible for paying your own out-of-pocket costs for any expenses related to a car crash. That’s why you should not only consider the minimum liability insurance coverage, but also UM/UIM coverage. And thankfully, it’s pretty affordable to add to your policy with drivers paying about $50 to $75 per year on average in New Hampshire.

How uninsured motorist insurance works in New Hampshire
If you do opt to purchase car insurance in New Hampshire (or are required if convicted of certain traffic violations), then the state’s minimum auto insurance requirements—known as 25/50/25—require $25,000 for
bodily injury liabilityper person, $50,000 for bodily injury liability per accident, and $25,000 for
property damage liability.
You’ll also need to purchase uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage with$25,000 for bodily insurance per person and $50,000 for bodily injury liability per accident.
However, don’t forget that car insurance in New Hampshire is completely optional unless the state legally requires you to purchase it. While forgoing insurance might sound tempting to your wallet, you could be setting yourself up for a greater financial risk with just one car accident.
Keep in mind that New Hampshire also ranks at #17 among
the most expensive states for ER visitswith an average cost of $1,787 per visit. This doesn’t even include additional costs that may come with a wreck such as a possible ambulance bill, medical expenses, or income loss.
So what uninsured motorist coverage is available in New Hampshire?
There are two categories that UM/UIM coverage falls into in New Hampshire:
- Uninsured motorist bodily injury coverage (UM/UMBI), which helps cover medical expenses for you and your passengers after an accident with an uninsured driver
- Underinsured motorist bodily injury coverage (UIM/UIMBI), which helps cover medical expenses if the other driver doesn’t have sufficient funds to cover your damages
UM/UIM coverage is especially important because New Hampshire is the only state that doesn’t require auto insurance. That means if you get into an at-fault accident with an uninsured driver, then you’ll have to pay for all your own medical expenses and damages.
If the uninsured driver is at-fault, then you could hire a personal injury lawyer and pursue an injury claim but must prove the other driver caused the collision. It’s a time-consuming and grueling legal process that doesn’t guarantee that you’ll recover your damages.
What it covers
Generally speaking, UM/UIM bodily injury coverage in New Hampshire will help cover medical expenses for you and your passengers. But that’s not all, UM/UIM insurance coverage will also help pay for:
- Funeral costs
- Future medical bills
- Lost wages
- Rehabilitation costs
- Pain and suffering
Car collisions are stressful enough for all involved parties without having to also consider how you’re going to pay for medical expenses. Purchasing UM/UIM insurance is an easy and cost-effective way to prevent high out-of-pocket costs associated with car accidents.
How to make a claim
If you get into an auto accident, it’s important to first exchange information—including insurance information—with the other driver. If they don’t have insurance, then you’ll need to file a UM/UIM claim with your insurance company.
The process is relatively straightforward when
filing a car insurance claimwith your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. Like a regular claim, you just have to call your insurance provider and explain what happened. Make sure to have all necessary documents like a police report and medical bills, ready when you file your claim.
Be aware that if your medical expenses surpass your UM/UIM coverage limit, then you’ll be responsible for paying the remaining costs through your health insurance or other means.

Why it’s a good idea to buy uninsured motorist insurance in New Hampshire
Obviously, adding uninsured motorist insurance to your policy will be more expensive than if you just stick with the
state minimums—if you even decide to get car insurance at all. But there are a couple of good reasons to purchase UM/UIM coverage anyway, including:
New Hampshire doesn’t require bodily injury liability insurance
New Hampshire is the only state other than Florida that doesn’t require drivers to carry
bodily injury liability coverage. This means that you’re putting yourself at serious financial risk if you get into an accident with a New Hampshire driver who may not have any insurance coverage to help cover your medical costs.
As mentioned before, you could hire a personal injury lawyer to sue for damages, but the costs of a personal injury suit can add up quickly.

virtual networking that turns into friendship
Jessie and I met through a network of businesswomen. In the Covid-19 era, virtual networking has definitely become a “must”.
Jessie Marcotte Photography is a photographer of Quebec origin who now lives in Nova Scotia. She has a mastery of portraiture and makes it her specialty.
The brief: Jessie already had a Wix website, but she was not satisfied with the resulting Web design and branding. She wanted a custom website to bring out her colourful personality and her off-the-beaten-track approach to thinking outside the box. A true artist!
Using WordPress and Genesis, what needed to be put forward was simplicity of navigation, a portfolio of Jessie’s best photos and also, to find a retro style to the website because Jessie loves everything vintage! After a strategic study, we decided together to change Jessie Marcotte Photography’s logo (which was very nice, but no longer corresponded to the visual identity of the new website): so we worked a bit on the visual identity in addition to the Web design with a study of colors and new typography. Wow! The result is magical!
Among the work done, I added keywords chosen by Jessie to optimize the search leading to the custom website, I also integrated the different photographs to create different portfolios grouped by themes, I also created price lists in addition to creating a form to contact Jessie Marcotte Photography.
With an awesome branding work, a brilliant Web design, a great Web development and lots of fun and laughter, the final result is truly amazing!
Today, Jessie Marcotte Photography is hosting her website with me and remains completely autonomous from any changes she wishes to make. | <urn:uuid:2d9d1f22-122d-429b-be45-48f7b57b554b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://gfdesign.ca/en/jessiemarcotte-photography/ | 2023-09-28T17:18:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.949238 | 351 |
NOW is the time. The English Premier League returns for the second year in a row, with Arsenal opening the season against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park against former Gunners club captain Patrick Vieira as manager of Palace.
This will be the first fight for both Oleksandr Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus. Additional players may be signed, but like in previous seasons, it appears that more will be added after the season begins.
In the hope of bringing in new players, Arteta believes Arsenal is still on the hunt for openings “Here and there you can see that we’re very much in action. A lot can happen while things are still open; the amount of business done by Premier League clubs indicates how competitive the league is, and that won’t change this season. Some players will be forced to depart, while others will be forced to relocate.”

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is optimistic about bringing in new players and says the Gunners will keep looking for new opportunities “Our incoming and outgoing traffic shows that we’re busy. Even though the window is still open and a lot may happen, the amount of business done by Premier League clubs so far this season illustrates just how competitive the league has become.

Diesel cars are known for their fuel efficiency, which is why they are a popular choice among drivers who want to save money on gas. However, there are pros and cons to owning a diesel car that you should consider before making a purchase. In this article, we will discuss some of the advantages and disadvantages of diesel cars.
Pros of Diesel Cars
1. Fuel Efficiency
Diesel engines are more fuel efficient than gasoline engines. This is because diesel fuel contains more energy per gallon than gasoline. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, diesel engines can be up to 30% more fuel efficient than gasoline engines. This means that diesel cars can travel farther on a tank of fuel, saving you money in the long run.
2. Lower Carbon Emissions
Diesel engines produce less carbon dioxide (CO2) than gasoline engines. This is because diesel fuel contains more carbon and less hydrogen than gasoline. As a result, diesel engines produce less CO2 per gallon of fuel burned. This makes diesel cars a more environmentally friendly choice than gasoline cars.
3. Better Towing Capacity
Diesel engines are known for their torque, which is the force that turns the wheels. This makes diesel cars a better choice for towing heavy loads, such as trailers or boats. Diesel engines can handle more weight than gasoline engines without straining the engine.
Cons of Diesel Cars
1. Higher Upfront Cost
Diesel cars are typically more expensive than gasoline cars. This is because diesel engines are more complex than gasoline engines and require special parts and technology. In addition, diesel fuel is often more expensive than gasoline fuel. This means that you will likely pay more upfront for a diesel car.
2. Maintenance Costs
Diesel engines require more maintenance than gasoline engines. This is because diesel engines have more components, such as the fuel injection system and turbocharger, which can be expensive to repair or replace. In addition, diesel engines require special oil that is more expensive than regular motor oil.
3. Noisier and Smellier
Diesel engines are known for their loud and clunky sound, which can be annoying to some drivers. In addition, diesel engines produce a stronger smell than gasoline engines, which can be unpleasant for some passengers.
Overall, diesel cars have their advantages and disadvantages. While they are more fuel efficient and environmentally friendly, they can be more expensive to buy and maintain. In addition, they can be noisier and produce a stronger smell than gasoline cars. Before making a decision, it’s important to consider your personal preferences and driving needs. | <urn:uuid:57f1eaa6-5b68-4d55-8a9a-b526912d2541> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://ghlookup.com/the-pros-and-cons-of-diesel-cars/ | 2023-09-28T18:00:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.957024 | 529 |

Opis projekta (v angleščini):
Water circulates through the land just as it does through the human body, transporting, dissolving, replen-ishing nutrients and organic matter, while carrying away waste material. Further in the body, it regulates the activities of fluids, tissues, cells, lymph, blood and glandular secretions.
However, nowadays we are experiencing a very difficult era, and the future looks even worse when referring to both the quality and the quantity of water. Most of the earth’s bases with clean water are rapidly diminishing while everyday demand for water is highly increasing and the negative influence of these two unequal constants is recognized and signalized by also world leaders. The official conference held in Paris in the last years (December 2015 and also in April 2016) related to Climate Change led to serious resolutions and commitments in this aspect. During the conference the leaders emphasized the great connections and negative impact that the rapidly developing climate change has on the ability of nations to attain a sustainable development. Being part of the environment, water is a cross-cutting issue that influence the development of nations from many points of view: state of health, food security supplies, economic development/growth, ecosystem services and world’s biodiversity. The climate conference that took place in Paris had to the aim to encourage people’s/countries/ actors of the civic society in general, to cooperate as well as to take initiatives in order to maintain a healthy environment, with a direct focus on water, climate changes and resilience. From this reason we strongly believe that all the objectives that we set for our partnership are entirely justified in the international context, in which all the partners from the participating countries can share ideas and can mutually instill in students a responsible and sustainable behavior towards the environment.
As providers of education, we, the teachers, cannot be careless about the endangered future that water has, we have to take serious action in preserving water resources for the future generations.

When the summer heat is in full swing, nothing beats the refreshing taste of a homemade popsicle. Not only are they a delicious treat, but making your own popsicles allows you to control the ingredients and create unique flavors that suit your taste buds. In this article, we will explore the world of homemade popsicles and dive into the tropical paradise of coconut popsicles.
Benefits of Making Homemade Popsicles
There are numerous benefits to making your own popsicles. Firstly, you have complete control over the ingredients. Store-bought popsicles often contain artificial colors, flavors, and excessive amounts of sugar. By making them at home, you can use fresh and natural ingredients, ensuring a healthier treat for yourself and your loved ones.
Additionally, making popsicles at home can be a fun and creative activity for the whole family. Get your kids involved in the process, let them choose their favorite flavors, and experiment with different combinations. It’s a great way to spend quality time together while also enjoying a tasty treat.
Why Coconut Popsicles Are a Refreshing Choice
Coconut popsicles are a perfect choice for those looking for a refreshing and tropical flavor. The natural sweetness and creamy texture of coconut make it an ideal ingredient for popsicles. Not only do they provide a delightful taste, but they also offer numerous health benefits.
Health Benefits of Coconut
Coconut is not only delicious but also packed with health benefits. Firstly, it is rich in healthy fats, which provide a quick source of energy and can help improve brain function. Coconut is also a good source of dietary fiber, aiding in digestion and promoting a healthy gut.
Furthermore, coconut is known to have antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help strengthen the immune system and reduce the risk of infections. It also contains antioxidants that can protect the body against free radicals, helping to prevent cell damage and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
The Versatility of Coconut in Popsicle Recipes
One of the great things about coconut is its versatility in popsicle recipes. You can use coconut milk, coconut water, or even shredded coconut to create various flavors and textures. Combine it with other fruits like mango or pineapple for a tropical twist, or add a touch of chocolate or coffee for a more indulgent treat. The options are endless, and you can let your creativity run wild.
How to Make Homemade Coconut Popsicles
Making homemade coconut popsicles is easier than you might think. To start, gather the following ingredients:
- 2 cups of coconut milk
- 1/4 cup of sweetener (such as honey or maple syrup)
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Optional: additional flavorings or mix-ins
In a blender, combine the coconut milk, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Blend until well combined and smooth. If desired, add any additional flavorings or mix-ins, such as fruit puree or chocolate chips, and pulse a few times to incorporate.
Pour the mixture into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion. Insert popsicle sticks into each mold and place in the freezer. Allow the popsicles to freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid.
Tips for Making the Perfect Coconut Popsicles
To ensure your coconut popsicles turn out perfectly every time, here are a few tips to keep in mind:
- Use full-fat coconut milk for a creamy and rich texture. Light coconut milk might result in a less creamy popsicle.
- Adjust the sweetness to your preference. Taste the mixture before freezing and add more sweetener if desired.
- Experiment with different flavors and mix-ins. Coconut pairs well with a variety of fruits, nuts, and spices.
- If using fresh fruit, puree it before adding it to the mixture. This will ensure a smooth consistency.
- Allow the popsicles to freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight, for the best texture.
Variations and Flavor Combinations for Coconut Popsicles
While coconut popsicles are delicious on their own, you can also get creative and try different flavor combinations. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Coconut and Mango: Blend fresh mango with coconut milk for a tropical delight.
- Coconut and Pineapple: Mix pineapple juice with coconut milk for a classic tropical flavor.
- Coconut and Lime: Add freshly squeezed lime juice and zest to the coconut milk for a tangy twist.
- Coconut and Chocolate: Mix in chocolate chips or cocoa powder for a decadent treat.
- Coconut and Coffee: Brew a strong cup of coffee and combine it with coconut milk for a refreshing pick-me-up.
Feel free to experiment with different fruits, spices, and even herbs to create your own unique flavor combinations.
Serving and Storing Homemade Popsicles
Once your coconut popsicles are frozen and ready to be enjoyed, remove them from the molds by running warm water over the bottom of the molds for a few seconds. Gently pull on the popsicle sticks to release the popsicles.
Serve the popsicles immediately, or transfer them to an airtight container and store them in the freezer for later enjoyment. They will keep well for up to one month, although they are best enjoyed within a few weeks for optimal flavor and texture.
Conclusion: Enjoy the Taste of Tropical Paradise with Homemade Coconut Popsicles
In conclusion, homemade popsicles are a fantastic way to beat the summer heat and indulge in a refreshing treat. By making them at home, you have control over the ingredients and can create unique flavors that suit your taste buds. Coconut popsicles, in particular, offer a taste of tropical paradise, along with numerous health benefits.
So why not give it a try? Grab your popsicle molds, some coconut milk, and your favorite flavorings, and embark on a journey to create your own deliciously refreshing homemade coconut popsicles. Your taste buds will thank you, and you’ll be transported to a tropical paradise with every lick.

Who's that singing? As fall migration arrives, apps that ID birds by sound have taken off

On 7 September 2023 The Associated Press reported:
As the annual fall migration begins across the Northern Hemisphere, apps like Merlin, which is put out by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, have caught on among birders and non-birders alike by revealing just how crowded with species our surroundings are.
Global Good News service views this news as a sign of rising positivity in the field of science, documenting the growth of life-supporting, evolutionary trends.
Birding's popularity soared during the pandemic, when people were eager to get outside and the outdoors became, briefly, a quieter place in which to hear birdsong and other sounds of nature.
First released in 2014, Merlin rode that wave of interest. The number of users grew 67 percent by the first spring of the pandemic compared to a year earlier, Cornell said. But then Sound ID was released in June 2021, and the number of users skyrocketed.
More than 7 million people now use the app worldwide, and 'we've more than doubled the number of users in the last year,' said Alli Smith, a project coordinator for Merlin.

If you need to borrow money, you need to first understand the different types of loans according to the requirements and the circumstances. Once the type of loan is decided then you can compare the interest rates, loan amounts, and the terms and conditions. As the situation varies the loan eligibility and criteria also vary. Let’s understand the different types of loans and the advantages and who should opt for.
- Unsecured Personal Loans – As the name suggests, a personal loan is a money that you borrow just for any purpose be it debt consolidation, pay medical bills, want to go for a vacation, or buy a new appliance, etc. The interest you pay is expressed as APR (Annual Percentage Rate) which varies from bank to bank and on the credit score. Most of the personal loans are unsecured which means you can apply for loans without keeping the collateral with the lender. This type of loan might be best for someone who is looking to borrow a small amount of money and is sure of repaying it on time.
- Secured Personal Loans – To get a secured personal loan you have to keep the collateral like a fixed deposit, certificate of deposit etc to secure a loan. The added advantage to apply for this loan is that it comes with the lowest interest rate as the lender considers this to be less risky, backed by the collateral.
- Home Equity Loans – Home equity loans allow you to borrow money against your home’s value minus the amount of any outstanding mortgages on the property. The lender verifies the bank account statement, savings and income to check the creditworthiness. They are easier to qualify for and you pay less interest than other types of loans as you are keeping your home as collateral. It is best suited in the situation when you require a large amount of money but make sure your payments are in place because if you end up with default payments, the lender may ask you to leave the home.
- Credit Card Cash Advances – It is a short term loan taken against the credit card which allows you to get a cash loan. They should be used in extreme emergencies as the interest on the cash advances is higher also sometimes there is the ATM or the bank fees which are involved in it.
- Payday Loans – They are small, unsecured short term cash loans with high-interest rates. The loan allows enough funds to the borrowers to get through to their next payday. The short term nature of the loan and repayment risk makes it risky and costly for the borrower. However, it can be a savior to meet sudden expenses with an easy process, minimum documentation, and formalities. All the advantages nullify the interest rates when the emergency comes in.
- Small Business Loans – Business loans help you to grow your business, invest in business infrastructure, expansion of existing business or if you are planning to start a new business then you can opt for this. However, the entrepreneurs who are planning to start a new business need to present the business plan in order to secure a loan.
Choose the one that best suits your financial situations. Your credit score, credit worthiness,
personal circumstances will have a big impact on selecting the right loan. | <urn:uuid:11f08a45-786d-4b99-96a1-09725cc36a5b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://globalinvestmentwatch.com/understanding-the-different-type-of-loans/ | 2023-09-28T17:29:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.9658 | 645 |

U.S. Sanctions on ICC – Israel focus
By: Maria Reisdorf
On 11 June 2020, then-U.S. President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order threatening to freeze the assets and suspend travel visas of foreign persons who “directly engaged in any effort” to assist the International Criminal Court (ICC) in their examinations of U.S. personnel or their non-consenting allies, and anyone who has “materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material or technological support” to the ICC. Authorizing the use of these sanctions, Trump declared the situation a “national emergency”, calling the court a “threat” to the United States. A more detailed description of the U.S.’s concerns with the investigation into Afghanistan, and why the ICC does have jurisdiction into the situation, can be found here.
As predicted, the Biden administration lifted the sanctions on ICC staff in April 2021, stating that their concerns should be addressed through engagement with stakeholders rather than through sanctions. Despite revoking the Executive Order, the sanctions may have created lasting damage for the ICC and international legal order, and thus dangerously affect victims of atrocity crimes.
In September 2020, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced that the U.S. had sanctioned two ICC officials: Chief Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda, and the Head of Jurisdiction, Complementary, and Cooperation Division Phakiso Mochochoko. In the press conference announcement, Pompeo stated that “[i]ndividuals and entities that continue to materially support those individuals [Bensouda and Mochochoko] risk exposure to sanctions as well”, and that the State Department had restricted the issuance of visas for certain individuals involved in these efforts.
It was widely believed that the U.S. sanctions were in response to the ICC’s investigations into both the situations of Afghanistan and Palestine. The U.S.’ argument comes down to the idea that these alleged perpetrators should only be prosecuted by a non-state party’s national courts. As one of these non-state parties, the U.S. refuses to subject its personnel to the same standards of international justice applicable to others; it does not want its own leaders held to a universal standard of respecting human rights and criminal justice. But the ICC operates on the principle of complementarity under article 17 of the Rome Statute and it can only investigate situations in which a state is unwilling or unable to do so themselves. States still have the primary responsibility to prosecute violators themselves. The ICC exerts its jurisdiction only where national judicial systems fail to adequately investigate and prosecute perpetrators.
The U.S. claims that they have conducted several investigations into U.S. military action in Afghanistan, however, many in the international legal community do not recognize these investigation as true attempts at justice. In 2009, the U.S. Department of Justice investigated 101 cases of alleged detainee abuse by the CIA, but never brought any charges related to these cases. In 2014, the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee released a damning report. The report was a summary of a classified 6,700 page report that detailed the CIA’s detention and interrogation scheme, and found that the CIA had covered up its crimes, made false statements to the Justice Department, and that the interrogation techniques used in Afghanistan were much worse – more brutal and widespread – than initially reported. The Report also rebuked the CIA’s long-held defense that they believed their “enhanced interrogation techniques” were lawful due to legal opinions from the Justice Department. The Report found that the CIA knew that the techniques approved in the Torture Memos violated international laws.
In a 2015 submission to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights as part of their Universal Periodic Review, the State Department claimed that it “has conducted thousands of investigations and prosecuted or disciplined hundreds of service members for mistreatment of detainees and other related misconduct since 2001”. Yet this information has not been made public and cannot be corroborated. As such, it seems that despite these ‘investigations’, the U.S. remains unwilling to provide true investigations, prosecutions or adjudication of these alleged atrocity crimes. Thus, for many victims, proceedings before the ICC may be the only and last attempts at justice available.
Impact on Victims
In November 2017, the ICC Office of the Prosecutor (OTP), led by Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda, submitted a request for authorization from the ICC Pre-Trial Chamber to approve launching an inquiry into war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Afghanistan that included some allegations against Americans. Already, then-U.S. National Security Adviser John Bolton had threatened to place sanctions on the ICC if the Court continued in its investigation of U.S. personnel. The sanctions would impact victims in an obvious way by attempting to pressure the Court into withdrawing its investigations. On top of this, despite the ICC’s commitment not to end their examinations due to this international pressure, the sanctions could still impact victims more insidiously by pressuring them not to come forward with their testimony.
Many human rights groups had criticized the Executive Order as overly broad, vague and putting researchers at risk (Bruce Zagaris, "Int'l Criminal Court and U.S. Sanctions" (2020) 36 Intl Enforcement L Reporter 210, 210). The broad wording of the U.S. announcement suggested that sanctions could have also been placed on any victims or witnesses who assisted the Court. Sanctions may prevent victims from coming forward, creating another barrier in ending impunity. These types of sanctions force the ICC to confront the delicate balance between its core mandate of prosecuting individuals for atrocity crimes and its obligations to protect victims and further their interests.
Despite reversing the Executive Order, the sanctions may still have a negative impact on victims as a precedent for the assertion that a non-state party should be able to commit atrocity crimes within the territory of any of the 123 parties to the Rome Statute without being held accountable before the ICC. When lifting the sanctions in April 2021, Secretary of State Antony Blinken made clear that the Biden Administration “continue[s] to disagree strongly with the ICC’s actions relating to the Afghanistan and Palestinian situations” and “maintains our longstanding objection to the Court’s efforts to assert jurisdiction over personnel of non-States Parties such as the United States and Israel”. Yet the importance of the US position may strengthen the precedent set for other states wanting to shield their citizens to make similar arguments - that they should not be held responsible by the ICC for their international crimes either.
Several states could follow suit. Myanmar has argued already that the ICC cannot continue its investigation into the Rohingya crisis as Myanmar is not a State Party. In September 2018, Pre-Trial Chamber I held that the forcible transfer of Rohingya into Bangladesh’s territory gives them jurisdiction to investigate, as Bangladesh is a State Party.
To the same end, some States have withdrawn their membership in a bid to prevent an ICC investigation from proceeding, as an ICC investigation impacts negatively on state governments. Burundi withdrew its membership to the ICC in October 2017 when the prosecutor signaled her intention to investigate human rights abuses being perpetrated by government forces. Similarly in 2019, the Philippines withdrew from the ICC after the Court launched an inquiry into the government’s war on drugs. The ICC has stated that it has jurisdiction over crimes that were committed in Burundi and the Philippines while they were still signatories to the Rome Statute.
Russia, also not a State Party, has claimed the ICC must end its preliminary examination into atrocity crimes commit by Russian personnel in eastern Ukraine. Russia withdrew its signature from the Rome Statute on 16 November 2016 as an attempt to prevent ICC scrutiny of its military activities on Ukrainian territory, despite Ukraine accepting the jurisdiction of the Court. Notwithstanding the U.S.’ suggestion that Russia might be manipulating the ICC, Russia, and the other countries mentioned above, could adopt a similar strategy to the U.S.’ former policy, adding even more financial and travel restrictions to those living in conflict zones, which could create extremely difficult living situations for any victims of these atrocity crimes turning to the ICC for justice.
Example: Situation in the State of Palestine
A helpful example where a state making similar arguments and pronouncements as the U.S. could further harm victims of atrocity crimes is the Situation in the State of Palestine. Israel has similarly long held that the ICC has no authority to investigate them, and earlier this year, asked the U.S. not to lift the sanctions imposed on the ICC. On 9 March 2021, the ICC sent letters to the parties concerned that they would be investigating the Israeli military, Hamas, and Palestinian armed groups as possible perpetrators of war crimes. The ICC’s examination into the 2014 Gaza War and settlements in the West Bank is a good example of where imposing sanctions would harm victims and may prevent them from coming before the ICC for three primary reasons.
First of all, it is a realistic possibility that Israel would impose similar legislation to the Order allowing it to impose sanctions on officers of the ICC and those who cooperate with them. The U.S. sanctions were largely in response to this investigation. The Trump administration was one of Israel’s greatest allies in criticizing the ICC. Pompeo called a proposed ICC investigation into Israeli security forces in the West Bank and Gaza Strip a “mockery of justice”. Trump promoted the U.S.’ decades long argument that the ICC has “no jurisdiction, no legitimacy and no authority” over the nationals of states that have not signed onto the Rome Statute, particularly the U.S. and Israel.
Echoing Pompeo’s words that opening an investigation into U.S. personnel constitutes “attacking America’s rule of law”, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed the investigation into Israeli crimes means the country is “under attack”, going even further to state that the investigation is the “essence of anti-Semitism”. Netanyahu stated that Israel will not cooperate with the investigation and “completely rejects” that Israel has carried out any war crimes. Similar to the U.S.’ argument that they have already conducted investigations into their military action in Afghanistan, Netanyahu stated that “Israel is a country with rule of law that knows how to investigate itself”.
After the recent conflict escalations in May 2021 that included hundreds of Israeli airstrikes, civilian casualties, and international condemnation, Israel maintained their stance that they have not violated any international laws as they were responding in defence to attacks from Gaza.
Maintaining the claim that the ICC cannot investigate Israel because it has no jurisdiction and because Israel has not violated any international laws and stating that Israel would not cooperate with the investigation, suggests that Israel may further use tools and policies in attempts to prevent international investigations.
Secondly, the ICC does have jurisdiction to investigate the Israel/Palestine situation in the same way it has jurisdiction over the Afghanistan situation. Article 12(2)(a) of the Rome Statute provides “that the Court may exercise its jurisdiction over crimes referred to in article 5 if the “State on the territory or which the conduct in question occurred” is a Party to the Statute or has accepted the Court’s jurisdiction”. Thus, just as the ICC may exercise jurisdiction over U.S. nationals who allegedly commit atrocity crimes in Afghanistan, the ICC may exercise jurisdiction over Israeli nationals who allegedly commit atrocity crimes in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. In February 2021, the Pre-Trial Chamber determined that an investigation can commence as Palestine is a State Party to the ICC, and that the Court’s territorial jurisdiction extends to areas under Israeli occupation (Gaza and the West Bank).
Thirdly, the Israel/Palestine situation is a good example of where sanctions would have harmful effects on victims as imposing these types of sanctions on victims and witnesses who come forward to assist the ICC would likely have devastating effects on Palestinians who already face serious travel and financial restrictions imposed by Israel. Many of the Court’s measures that are in place to protect the identity of victims of witnesses would be frustrated by the imposition of further restrictions or sanctions. In many conflict zones, including the forced occupation of Palestine, travel is largely prohibited for Palestinians. If sanctions can be imposed on anyone assisting the ICC, ICC employees may not be allowed to enter regions like Gaza to gather information from victims and witnesses. While securing confidential access to victims and witnesses is often incredibly challenging, it will become even more difficult if those having to protect these victims’ identities must protect their own identities as well for fear of reprisal.
In sum, any sanctions or impediments that copy the U.S.’ former policy could negatively affect an ICC investigation and hinder international justice. The idea that the ICC should fall mercy to political superpowers is alarming – the ICC must be able to independently investigate all sides of a situation.
The June Executive Order allows for sanctions against those who speak out against the U.S. or their allies. As such, it follows that those who do not speak out against the US, or those who testify in their favour, would not necessarily be sanctioned. Punishing vulnerable populations for testifying, and rewarding them for not testifying (by not imposing sanctions), abhorrently undermines the rule of law. If other States follow suit – Myanmar, Burundi, the Philippines, Russia, Israel or others – the international community’s ability to hold perpetrators of atrocity crimes accountable may weaken. It is important to note the impacts these types of declarations may have on victims and investigators. If sanctions are a consequence of coming forward, victims may become even more hesitant to speak out against perpetrators of these atrocity crimes.
The U.S.’ announcement of sanctions was an abuse of power and an unconscionable act of victim harassment and intimidation. These sanctions attacked the rule of law and international order. The U.S. actions attempted to inappropriately interfere with the independence and effectiveness of the Court. The broad wording of the Executive Order put the basic human rights of vulnerable people at further risk.
If the United States is serious about protecting victims and fighting impunity for mass atrocities, it will have to go further than revoking the Executive Order that allowed these sanctions in the first place. If any other countries make similar declarations in the future, the international condemnation must be swift and damning. And the condemnation should be led by the United States.

Nobel Peace Prize winner John Hume, “the architect of the Northern Ireland peace process”, has died.
The former leader of the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) had been ill for some time.
Having committed his life to the pursuit of Irish unity by peaceful means, he was fiercely criticised for holding secret talks with Gerry Adams.
But in 1993, Mr Hume persuaded the British and Irish governments that the gun could be taken out of Irish politics.
When the IRA declared its ceasefire the following year, Sinn Fein were brought in from the political cold.
It was the beginning of a peace process that would culminate in the Good Friday Agreement and power-sharing government at Stormont.
In 1998, Mr Hume and his Unionist counterpart David Trimble were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace.
Speaking at the award ceremony in Oslo, Mr Hume said: “I want to see Ireland as an example to men and women everywhere of what can be achieved by living for ideals rather than fighting or dying for them.”
In a statement, his family said: “We are deeply saddened to announce that John passed away peacefully in the early hours of the morning after a short illness.
“We would like to extend our deepest and heartfelt thanks to the care and nursing staff of Owen Mor nursing home in Derry.
“The care they have shown John in the last months of his life has been exceptional.”
They added: “John was a husband, a father, a grandfather, a great grandfather and a brother. He was very much loved, and his loss will be deeply felt by all his extended family.
“It seems particularly apt for these strange and fearful days to remember the phrase that gave hope to John and so many of us through dark times: we shall overcome.”
Irish prime minister Micheál Martin described Mr Hume as one “of the greatest Irish people that ever lived” and said his life was one of “towering achievement”.
“John Hume was a great hero and a true peace maker,” he said, adding: “All people on this island will give thanks for his life.”
Boris Johnson paid tribute to the “political giant”, saying there would have been no Belfast or Good Friday Agreement without him.
The prime minister said: “He stood proudly in the tradition that was totally opposed to violence and committed to pursuing his objectives by exclusively peaceful and democratic means.
“For decades he sought resolution of the Troubles in Northern Ireland through dialogue and agreement. Without John Hume there would have been no Belfast or Good Friday Agreement.”
Northern Ireland’s First Minister Arlene Foster said he was a “giant in Irish nationalism”.
“In our darkest days he recognised that violence was the wrong path & worked steadfastly to promote democratic politics,” the Democratic Unionist Party leader wrote on Twitter.
Deputy First Minister and Sinn Fein vice president Michelle O’Neill said: “John was a huge figure in Irish politics for many years and was known the world over for his peace-making efforts.
“He was a leader who worked tirelessly for the community and his beloved Derry.”
Mr Adams, a former Sinn Fein leader, said the peace process was Mr Hume’s “huge achievement” and he was a “giant in Irish politics”.
“I have to say on this sad day we wouldn’t have the peace that we enjoy today if it wasn’t for John Hume,” Mr Adams told a news conference.
He added: “To his great credit, when the news broke about him meeting with me, and he was the victim of a tsunami of abuse and of vilification, he stuck with it.
“We must have met in secret and privately for over a decade, against a background and a foreground of terrible atrocities and other events.
“At the end of it all, it worked. And it worked not least because of John Hume.”
Author and journalist Eamonn Mallie, who knew him well, said: “Hume was driven by one thing – a passion for peace. He hated that violence. He resented that violence.
“At every conference, constant at the northern star, Hume spelled out, underscored, amplified, the grotesqueness of what the IRA were doing.”
Mr Hume had come to prominence during the civil rights movement in his native Derry.
An MP for 22 years, an MEP for 25, he became a towering figure in the Anglo-Irish politics of the 20th century.
Former US president Bill Clinton, who once described him as “the Martin Luther King of Northern Ireland”, said in a joint statement with his wife Hillary: “Hillary and I are deeply saddened by the passing of our friend John Hume, who fought his long war for peace in Northern Ireland.
“His chosen weapon: an unshakeable commitment to non-violence, persistence, kindness and love. With his enduring sense of honour he kept marching on against all odds towards a brighter future for all the children of Northern Ireland.
“Through his faith in principled compromise, and his ability to see his adversaries as human beings, John helped forge the peace that has held to this day.”
Former British prime minister Tony Blair said he was a “political titan”.
“His contribution to peace in Northern Ireland was extraordinary,” Mr Blair said.
“I don’t think we would have ever really got the peace process going and implemented if he hadn’t been there offering help and advice.”
SDLP leader Colum Eastwood MLA said: “His legacy is Ireland at peace with itself. His legacy is the ending of 800 years of history and allowing us now to achieve all sorts of possibilities.
“We’re no longer fighting with each other and there’s no prospect that we will in the future.
“We’re at peace, we have a democratic opportunity to set our own future. John Hume did that.”
A book of condolence in memory of Mr Hume will be opened at the Guildhall in the city by Mayor Brian Tierney. | <urn:uuid:dd8ad36b-1476-4ccc-a3e3-ca8f4ce9c4b6> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://globalnewsvideo.com/2020/08/03/a-political-titan-former-sdlp-leader-and-nobel-peace-prize-winner-john-hume-dies/ | 2023-09-28T17:50:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.984512 | 1,326 |
The new co-chair of the Corbyn-supporting campaign group Momentum has accused Labour of trying to “destroy” left-wing elements of the party.
The comments by Gaya Sriskanthan are in response to an email from Labour‘s general secretary, in which he said debates aimed at rejecting an internationally agreed definition of antisemitism should not take place within local party meetings.
In Facebook posts leaked to Sky News, Ms Sriskanthan warns activists not to “fall for the bait or they’ll use it to suspend everyone”.
“This is clearly an issue of shutting down democratic debate and we have to focus our arguments on the principle rather than the details of what we want to talk about, or they will use any excuse to destroy left [Constituency Labour Parties]”, she wrote.
Earlier this week, Labour’s general secretary David Evans emailed local parties warning that discussions that repudiate the IHRA (International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance) definition of antisemitism risk undermining Labour’s “ability to tackle racism”.
Labour’s adoption of that definition was a point of contention under former leader Jeremy Corbyn.
Members of the party’s National Executive Committee did eventually back a change in its code of conduct to fully adopt the definition back in September 2018 – but added its own “free speech” clause.
The party said at the time that the clause “ensures this will not in any way undermine freedom of expression on Israel or the rights of Palestinians”.
The IHRA definition reads:
“Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews.
“Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.”
The IHRA also gives 11 examples, saying that manifestations “might include the targeting of the state of Israel, conceived as a Jewish collectivity”.
Mr Evans also said debates about the Equalities and Human Rights Commission report into antisemitism and Labour’s recent apology to whistleblowers who spoke to BBC Panorama were not “competent business” for meetings.
That sparked an angry backlash from supporters of Mr Corbyn, who accused Mr Evans – an ally of Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer – of waging a political war against the left of the party.
Co-chair of Labour International Colin O’Driscoll wrote on the same Facebook post: “Starmer’s office boy blowing smoke. None of this has any basis in the Labour Party rulebook.”
Rachel Garnham, a member of Labour’s National Executive Committee, posted online saying she and other activists had written to the general secretary asking “on whose authority” he was acting.
Momentum and the Labour Party have been approached for comment. | <urn:uuid:4a0391d1-3d52-4520-b22d-750343ffbf1b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://globalnewsvideo.com/2020/08/15/corbyn-backers-accuse-labour-of-bid-to-destroy-its-left-wing-elements/ | 2023-09-28T17:52:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.949126 | 620 |
Kazakhstan’s Samruk Kazyna sovereign wealth fund is hiring someone to help draft its new strategy and seeking to boost transparency and improve governance, just months after cutting half its staff to 124 personnel and closing offices in Beijing, Moscow and London and ahead of plans to divest portfolio companies.
Representing around 40% of Kazakhstan’s GDP, the US$69 billion strategic fund holds national oil and gas, energy, mining, industrial, transport and telecommunications assets – and the government is looking to divest these holdings in months to come.
Mass protests against hikes in fuel retail prices in January are seen by some Kazakhstan-watchers as ultimately the result of the mismanagement of Samruk-Kazyna’s portfolio companies under the previous administration of Nursultan Nazarbayev.
The failure to invest in gas processing plants and the problem of corruption in procurement undermined the profitability of fuel production – the management’s answer was simply to inflate gas prices, passing the cost to the consumer. The resulting unrest posed an existential threat to the state and Russian paratroopers were deployed to end the crisis in the vast Central Asian country, resulting in more than 200 deaths in the worst political crisis of its post-Soviet period.
Overhaul Underway: New Rules and New Faces
Under an organizational overhaul prompted by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev’s call for reform, earlier this year the Board reduced the number of management positions from 10 to five and changed rules for procurement. The shake-up is directed by Almasadam Satkaliev who was appointed chair of the board in March 2021, substituting Akhmetzhan Yessimov, who had faced stern criticism from Kazakhstan’s accounts committee over a lack of transparency and falling profitability.
Satkaliev made it his mission to end secret business deals and poor transparency, as well as inflated prices. Under Samruk-Kazyna’s new procurement rules, contracts will no longer be handed out to the holding’s portfolio companies.
In an effort to clean up the fund’s governance, this week Samruk-Kazyna and Kazakhstan's Agency on Financial Monitoring (AFM) signed a memorandum of cooperation on procurement services as the fund seeks to increase the transparency of its activities and its portfolio companies. The Agency intends to provide the Fund with information on any wrongdoing and financial crimes within the portfolio companies with a view to strengthening compliance, internal audit and risk management functions. The move is intended to win investor trust in the firms identified for divestment.
The government has already sought to purge Samruk-Kazyna of the cronyism that flourished under former President Nursultan Nazarbayev. In January the sovereign fund announced that Kairat Sharipbayev and Dimash Dossanov – the sons-in-law of former Kazakh president Nursultan Nazarbayev, who has come under fire from his embattled successor - had quit as chief executives of two portfolio companies: oil pipeline firm KazTransOil and natural gas pipeline operator QazaqGaz (formerly KazTransGas) respectively. Although Samruk-Kazyna gave no reasons, the move came amid a pledge by President Tokayev to move against the significant business holdings of the family of the former president.
Improved Performance Ahead of Privatization
The fund has been buoyed by the post-pandemic recovery, thanks to its exposure to commodities, with vast improvements in profitability in Satkaliev’s first year in office. Last week, Nazira Nurbayeva, Managing Director for Economics and Finance of Samruk-Kazyna, announced that the fund would allocate KZT170 billion (US$376 million) to the national budget in 2022, following revenue of KZT11.7 trillion (US$25.9 billion) and profits of KZT1.6 trillion in 2021. After transfers to the government, profits will be reinvested in large infrastructure projects. The fund’s results exceeded all expectations and were largely attributed to the surge in oil prices, as well as a 59% increase in refined gold sales and 13% growth in national electricity production.
Samruk-Kazyna is the focus of economic liberalization efforts, intended to improve commercial competition and “demonopolise” sectors including oil, gas, electricity and rail. Kazakhstan's new prime minister Alihan Smaiylov indicated earlier this year that portfolio companies will be privatized from 2022, including IPOs in KazMunayGas (KMG), Air Astana and QazaqGaz in both the local bourse and on a foreign exchange, either New York or London; at least 20% of shares will be listed at KASE or Astana International Exchange.
Despite governance problems, the portfolio still has some strong performance. KMG’s IPO was postponed due to a fall in energy prices in 2020, but the strong recovery in prices and Kazakhstan’s massive untouched hydrocarbon resources mean it could be turn out to be a very successful listing.
Airlines Air Astana, FlyArystan and Qazaq Air, representing 80% of domestic air transportation, are a target for sale. While the global aviation industry has witnessed massive government bail-outs, Air Astana did not receive any financial support and reported profits in 2021 due to the high demand for its low-cost airline Fly Arystan. Air Astana booked a US$36.2 million net profit last year, marking a strong rebound from its US$94 million loss in 2020 and above the US$30.3 in 2019, before Covid-19 struck. Revenue for 2021 jumped 92% on-year to US$756 million. Last month, the Agency for the Protection and Development of Competition announced it was putting forward a proposal to spin off budget airline FlyArystan, followed by the sale of 51% of its shares. Qazaq Air is also slated for sale.
About 40 enterprises are planned to be put up for privatization in the group of companies of the Samruk-Kazyna holding during this period. The sale of assets will provide Samruk-Kazyna with capital for future strategic developments projects, which are set to involve close relationships with foreign state-owned investors.
Forging Foreign Alliances
The Kazakh fund is also pushing alliances with foreign sovereign wealth funds, including Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), which was cited as a potential co-investor in infrastructure, logistics, renewable energy, and the privatization program. Mubadala is set to become a major factor in the fund’s strategy. In February 2021, the Abu Dhabi investor’s green investment arm, Masdar, signed agreements with Samruk-Kazyna to explore joint initiatives in renewables. These included developing a 500MW wind farm project with operations beginning by end-2024. Oil-rich Kazakhstan aims to raise the share of renewables in electricity generation from 1% in 2020 to 10% by 2030 and 50% by 2050 by exploiting its huge wind and solar power potential.
French public investment bank Bpifrance is also set to become a long-term partner.

Stamford, Conn. – April 22, 2019 – Americares is delivering more than 4 tons of critical medicine and medical supplies to treat patients and protect health workers fighting the deadly Ebola epidemic in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Since August 2018, more than 1,300 cases and 870 deaths have been reported according to the Ministry of Health, making this the second-largest and second-deadliest Ebola outbreak on record. Political unrest and violence against health workers in the North Kivu and Ituri provinces have made it difficult to monitor the spread of the virus, resulting in a continued increase in cases.
“Thousands of lives are at stake,” said Americares Director of Emergency Response Brian Scheel. “Health workers offer the best hope for containing the spread of the disease, and this shipment will provide the tools they need to protect themselves and care for patients.”
Americares is working with longtime partner International Medical Corps to provide antibiotics, first aid supplies, hygiene products and protective equipment for health workers on the front lines of the crisis. The shipment is expected to arrive in North Kivu in May.
Americares has a long history of responding to Ebola outbreaks, including the devastating 2014 outbreak in West Africa, the 2012 outbreak in Sierra Leone and the 2011 outbreak in Somalia.
Americares has professional relief workers ready to respond to disasters at a moment’s notice and stocks emergency medicine and supplies in its warehouses in the U.S., Europe and India that can be delivered quickly in times of crisis. The organization responds to an average of 30 natural disasters and humanitarian crises worldwide each year, establishes long-term recovery projects and brings disaster preparedness programs to vulnerable communities. Since its founding 40 years ago, Americares has provided more than $17 billion in aid to 164 countries, including the United States.
Donations to Americares Worldwide Disaster Relief Fund will support its response to the crisis. To donate, go to americares.org/worldwide

Each year, Americares reaches more than 90 countries, including the United States, with life-changing health programs, medicine and medical supplies.

Who is it for? Its Skin Blueberry Fresh Mask is for anyone looking to provide hydration to skin. As blueberries are rich in minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants this mask is great for people with dry skin. It provides nourishment and refreshment.
Price- Rs.100 for 1 mask
How to use:
- After the face wash, put a mask on the face evenly.
- About 20~30 min later, put mask off from the face and tap gently the remains of contents for your skin to absorb it.
My Experience with Its Skin Blueberry Fresh Mask
It comes in a packaging, which has a picture of blueberries on it on white packaging. The package can be opened easily and inside it is the mask drenching in the serum. All the claims and the instructions are written on the mask. It quite travels-friendly.
The mask gives a pleasant fragrance and the serum is lightweight, which is easily absorbed by the skin.
My skin was feeling dull and lifeless. After exfoliating and applying a clay mask, I put this sheet mask on. There was no tingling sensation and the mask in itself was pleasant. I put it on for around about 20 minutes. After 20 minutes I massaged the excess serum on my face and neck. After some time I could feel that my skin is hydrated and refreshed. But it doesn’t do anything for redness on the skin.
What do I like about this product?
- It provides instant hydration to the face.
- It refreshes the face.
- Is suitable for oily, acne prone and sensitive skin.
- Comes with a protective film which makes it easy to handle.
- A good fix before going to the parties or any other gathering.
- Is pocket-friendly.
- It’s good for winter weather.
What I dislike about the product?
- The fitting of the mask. Didn’t fit my skin properly and I have used better masks than this.
Would I Repurchase or Recommend?
Yes, I can recommend it but don’t expect any drastic changes.

TIFFIN, OH — The downtown retailers and Main Street Marketing Committee released the upcoming schedule for downtown Third Thursdays. They will begin on March 21 and continue every month through the end of 2019.
Following a successful test run in 2018, community members, local businesses and restaurants have partnered to again bring themed evenings to Downtown Tiffin through Third Thursdays. Every third Thursday will have a theme, and participating businesses and restaurants will have special hours and are encouraged to incorporate the theme through decorations, a special menu item, crafts, music and more. Any downtown business or organization may participate.
Similar events have occurred for many years throughout the United States, but these events let Tiffin bring its own spin on the monthly events.

“These events allow Tiffin to showcase some of our great businesses and restaurants for people who maybe haven’t been downtown in a while,” said Susan Wilkinson, Chair of the Downtown Marketing Committee and owner of Simply Susan’s.
Tiffin Mayor Aaron Montz said he is excited to see these monthly events take place in Downtown Tiffin: “Third Thursdays were a hit last year, and we are confident it will attract more residents and visitors to our downtown.”

what up my mid-december gangstas? you keeping things tight and fresh as we play out these last few weeks of twenty twelve?
it’s friday, so i’m sick again.
so according to the mayans, this is our final weekend on earth. i’m glad i’ll be spending it in a nice, cherry flavored nyquil haze, in my most comfortable bathrobe, with at least one more episode of scandal to watch on my dvr.
can we talk about the flavoring of most medicines? cherry? orange? i don’t even like cherries and oranges on their own, let alone when i have a fever and i’m puking up my pancreas.
why have they yet to come out with a coffee/mocha tasting lozenge, or even maybe a grilled cheese flavored cold/cough syrup? eli lily? let’s talk, ‘kay? i have some ideas for you. #redlicoricerobitussin
how do you plan on spending your final weekend m’loves?
tomorrow, barring any of my medical theatrics to a walk-in clinic or dramatic bathroom floor antics involving chills and night sweats where i’m prone to les misérables-like “one day more” shenanigans, a pas de bourées included,when i’m feeling ill-ish, i plan to whoop it up at my darling friend’s baby shower. per protocol, i’ll quarterback the tequila shots and chicken fights in the country club pool with the mother-in-law. her first baby; so sweet, almost as sweet as she. i can’t wait to shower her with well wishes and blessings and beer bongs.
post wet t-shirt contests with the girls at the shower, i’m hightailing it back to the gym: i’m silly excited to be in gravity certification this weekend with my friend, the rock-star fitness guru, rob glick. rob’s bringing the gravity machines to our club, renaissance club sport, and i know it will be the perfect amplifier to my pilates equipment repertoire. such a fun addition to my 2013 routine….if we’re still here.
wishing you a weekend of health, tequila shots, chicken fights and living your days as if they were your last.
see you on the other side of sunday m’loves.
p.s. confession: i have now watched that “one day more” clip 5 times! the beasts now think they are “sans culottoes;” so excited for les mis the movie! eponine was always my die-for, dream role. | <urn:uuid:e19ad3a9-918b-4850-afb8-d15f2fd8e949> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://goodniteirene.com/2012/12/baby-showers-mayans-tequila/ | 2023-09-28T17:12:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.906751 | 593 |

Rare is it for a t-shirt to last someone a lifetime or to even be desired for that long. Part of that is due to the cheap materials - cotton absorbs moisture and cheaply fades and synthetics wear out. But the luxury materials that are tried and true from our past - wool, cashmere, silk - all age in a wonderfully unique, personal way. Like a barrel of whisky aging overtime, so too do our shirts.
We've taken natural materials with experimental designs to not only push t-shirt innovation, but to create lifelong garments, each with a story.
Every year we create very small-batch t-shirt releases, each time attempting to push the limits of conventional design in a new way. Every t-shirt is handmade in Toronto by our team and is given a unique identifying number to mark its place in the batch and it's uniqueness.
We look forward to you becoming an owner of a piece of our passion. | <urn:uuid:d1f75297-1d4d-4273-9310-201d388c64ea> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://granmanitou.com/pages/pedigree-3 | 2023-09-28T17:48:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.93965 | 197 |

Many small businesses struggle to answer the “is it working?” question when it comes to their digital marketing. For those business owners that DIY their digital marketing, the time it takes to execute the work leaves little room for tracking, analyzing and optimizing these efforts over time. Even many marketers who serve small businesses aren’t providing a clear view of how these activities drive key results.
While many small businesses recognize the importance and need to promote themselves online, tracking these efforts can be a challenge. Many rely on intuition to determine what is or is not working. When so much online activity is measurable there isn’t any reason intuition should be the primary method for understanding marketing performance.
Most platforms and channels offer click and impression data which can be useful in understanding the kinds of content that drives engagement, which is a good start. But it is what happens after the initial click that needs to be understood, and every small business must identify the actions that are of most value and track these actions over time. The three online actions that almost all businesses should track are calls, contact form fills and gated content downloads.
While many younger generations might not be inclined to talk on the phone, there sometimes is no way around it. Complex transactions and some business services require more immediate and real-time communication. So depending on the situation or the type of purchase being considered, the phone remains an important action.
Additionally, with more online searches taking place on mobile devices than desktops, there are likely to be more people browsing your website from smartphones. This is yet another reason why you must be tracking clicks of your phone number.
Two foundational ways to track phone calls is via Google My Business and your website. Google My Business offers weekly, monthly and quarterly call activity generated from Google searches. Calls from your website require a few more technical integrations that can be managed via Google Tag Manager. (See below for a useful how-to video showing you how you can track phone call clicks via Google Tag Manager.)
Especially businesses that prioritize phone calls over other actions, it is critical to track the calls being generated from your website to know if your marketing drives people to call. Additionally, if you get a large volume of calls, there are some really robust and sophisticated tools that can help you track and reengage with inbound calls to your business.
Contact Form Fills
The contact form of any website is a key communication channel for your customers that just want to get a little more info but aren’t necessarily looking to talk to anyone. Understanding how many people are contacting your business via this method and comparing it to phone calls, can help you understand your customer communication preferences.
As mentioned in the phone calls section, your industry, your customer and the urgency of the need will all dictate how people will engage with your business. The benefit of the form fill is that it allows the opportunity to collect additional customer information which can be useful in future marketing or sales activities.
Contact forms are one of the easiest to track because they often lead to a “thank you” page which, again, using Google Tag Manager and integrating it with Google Analytics, you can track every time that thank you page loads. There are additional views of the data in Google Analytics which show how users ended up on the thank you page, offering valuable data around website journeys.
While downloads of free reports or guides utilize a form like the contact form, the context is very different. The general contact form is for customers that are ready to engage with your business or want more information and may be closer to an actual purchase. The content download is more of a prospect than it is a lead. Perhaps they are ready to buy but they may just be in the “research” phase of the purchase journey.
Still, you’ll want to track any content downloads separate from your contact forms because the two require different handling. Additionally, tracking downloads to a report or guide will help you better understand how well you are promoting the content and if your audience finds it engaging. These activities can help you get the pulse of your audience and craft future content pieces accordingly.
While you may have a sense of how your marketing is driving key actions online, in order to really know, you must measure key digital actions over time. By starting with phone calls, contact form fills and download form fills you’ll set a solid foundation for understanding when and how your customers engage with your business from your website and beyond.
Additionally, if you’re hiring a marketer to bring your digital efforts to the next level, you’re going to want to know how/if these activities are having an impact. If you don’t have time to set this tracking up yourself, it is critical that you ask for it and request regular (monthly or quarterly) performance reports highlighting how calls, form fills, etc., are growing or declining over time.

#1 on my “bucket list” is arranging a private concert by Diana Krall for me and 30 or so hand-picked friends and family. (Ella is no longer available.) The playlist will be chosen mostly from her “Live in Paris” CD and her “All for You” CD. The finale will be Diana’s version of Joni Mitchell’s “A case of you.” The champagne will be French; Kentucky will, of course, supply the bourbon. Mr. Dave and Ms. Betty will put together the menu.
There must be at least one dream on your bucket list….
#2 on my bucket list is living abroad for a year. At the moment, I am two months into crossing that item off my list. I am definitely not in a hurry to get it crossed off. Toulouse is a great city in which to live and is conveniently located for one who finds Europe a generally pleasant place to spend some time. Being in France on a sabbatical leave is, perhaps, the best of circumstances in which to spend time abroad. I am expected to spend a year focusing on the part of my job for which I was trained; I am meeting new colleagues who share many of my interests but bring different perspectives to our common ground; and I have a great deal of freedom in deciding how to use my time. But the biggest advantages of living abroad are the consequences of the constant mundane challenges to routine. | <urn:uuid:579723c9-d429-4d02-bf5c-a33b372ba095> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://greenhouse.uky.edu/tag/robert-lorch | 2023-09-28T17:12:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.957404 | 311 |
Green completed Bid Documents for the MWRA Design Contract No. 7474, Beacon Street Line (BSL) Water Pipeline Repair project. The BSL is part of MWRA’s low service system and a significant portion is located underneath the MBTA Beacon Street Green Line tracks. The BSL supplies Boston Meter 44 and provides important water supply redundancy to Boston Meter 60 which services the Longwood Medical area. An Alternatives Evaluation Technical Memorandum (AETM) was prepared to evaluate slip-lining methods for the entire 3,000 ft reach and localized repair alternatives. MWRA requested an alternative that would not disrupt the MBTA tracks and the localized repair from within the pipe using the carbon fiber reinforced polymer method was selected.
We designed the carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) localized repair for the 48-inch diameter water pipeline (BSL) near the intersection with Borland Street. The design included rehabilitation and replacement of existing pipeline segment at the access pits along with other appurtenances, installation of access manholes structures for future inspections and a leak detection system, protection and/or replacement of underground utilities, pavement restoration, sidewalk reconstruction, and traffic and environmental controls during construction. In addition, we assisted the MWRA in coordination with the Town of Brookline and obtained an access permit from MBTA. | <urn:uuid:5c386539-740a-4288-b10c-e7e0b9b5cea9> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://greenintl.com/mwra-beacon-street-contract-7474/ | 2023-09-28T18:19:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.925962 | 271 |
We expect MIT researchers to be innovators in 3D printing. We do not necessarily expect the same of caterpillars. But this spooky pavilion at MIT’s Media Lab was a collaboration between the researchers who designed the structure, the robots who built the framework, and the silkworms who then basically extruded the whole thing out of their salivary glands.
The lab’s Mediated Matter team, headed by Neri Oxman, discovered that it was possible to influence the way silkworms spun their thread. Using that research, Oxman designed a base for the pavilion on the computer that would influence the silkworms to produce just the sort of texture and patterns she was after. A robot strung a complicated series of threads on a metal scaffolding. And then they turned 6,500 silkworms loose on the dome.
They swarmed over the structure’s surface and spun silk threads that ultimately created a dome that was equal parts Buckminster Fuller and Charlotte’s Web. …
Most 3-D printers today would have difficulty printing something larger than the steering wheel of a car, but with a little help, these “MakerBugs” can build structures the size of small houses. The process is as environmentally friendly as it could possibly be — the worms transform White Mulberry leaves into building material, their creations biodegrade over time, and when the job is done the worms turn into moths and fly away, leaving enough eggs behind to create approximately 250 more structures.
The pavilion itself is a little bit eerie; it looks like someone tried to build a cloud to float away in and gave up. But there’s actually a practical application for these ideas: “[I]t’s possible to imagine a system like this being deployed in the aftermath of a natural disaster to build environmentally friendly shelters for refugees — if they could get over the slightly terrifying notion of living in what looks to be a giant spider web,” Wired says. More terrifying: coming upon a field of abandoned structures like these. At least the silk part eventually biodegrades. | <urn:uuid:576655e3-8461-4f6b-b000-bb9e01633ea7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://grist.org/living/this-pavilion-was-3d-printed-by-6500-silkworms/ | 2023-09-28T18:12:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.954981 | 433 |
