Purpose for My Pain will partner with several local organizations to honor those affected by gun violence to kick start this year’s National Gun Violence Awareness Month, starting with a blood drive and a kickball tournament.
In partnership with Versiti Blood Center of Indiana, Purpose for my Pain will host a blood drive where donations will go out to local hospitals in support of wounded gun violence survivors.
“We want to be apart of the solution,” said DeAndra Dycus, executive director of Purpose for My Pain. “We thought donating blood would be a great way to support the wounded survivors.”
The blood drive is scheduled to take place on June 2 from 4-7:30 p.m. at Bloodmobile located at 2433 Barnes Ave. To schedule a donation appointment, visit www.versiti.org/in.
Those interested in donating are encouraged to eat a meal and drink water before their appointment.
Purpose for My Pain will then join Warriors for Peace and S.C.A.R.S for their third annual Kicking the Grief Kickball Tournament on June 3.
According to Dycus, this event is intended to bring those who have been affected by gun violence together to “know they are not in this journey alone.”
Dycus understands what it feels like to be affected by gun violence. In 2014 Dycus’ son DeAndre Yates was shot at 13 years old while attending a party. The stray bullet left Yates paralyzed and nonverbal. Dycus said he is the driving force behind the work she does.
“We are hosting the event because it is national (gun violence awareness month) and this is the kickoff weekend,” she said. “It’s a month-long celebration of honoring families and individuals impacted by gun violence.”
This free event is scheduled to take place at Watkins Park located at 2360 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. St. from 11 a.m.-4 p.m and will consist of giveaways, free food, a kickball tournament and a moment of silence for victims of gun violence.
Participants are encouraged to wear orange in remembrance of gun violence victims.
Since its inception, Purpose for My Pain has been advocating for gun violence victims and stronger gun control legislation. The organization’s mission is to be a resource that provides mentorship and victim advocacy in hopes to motivate and empower people affected by gun violence. The organization also provides support groups, mentor programs and a grief relief retreat.

Summary:Finding plus size lingerie for women is no longer a task but you need to keep a few things in mind before you round up on the ideal one for you. Read on to know what essentials you need to be on the lookout for when you go to buy plus size lingerie.
Who says plus size woman can’t have their share of the fun and dress however they want to? With the extensive array of plus size lingerie available today and women being comfortable enough in their own skin to flaunt it, times have never been better. Today, it’s all about embracing your wild, sensual side, regardless of your body type. If you are looking to buy plus size lingerie for you as well, by all means go ahead. Just follow this guide to the T and you are all sorted.
Pick the right size
The most important essential to keep in mind is finding lingerie that flatters you in all the right places. You can buy plus size lingerie in various sizes at Infinite Linx Fashion. Picking one that conceals your flaws and lends an aesthetic appeal to your assets is a good idea. Getting your size right is the most important aspect. Contrary to popular belief, a size smaller does not make you look slim, it just makes breathing difficult and no one in their right mind wants that.
Choose the right lingerie material
Gone are the days when cotton ruled the lingerie world. Today, you can buy plus size lingerie made from satin, lace, faux leather, polyester and even embroidered ones. Make certain you pick lingerie fabric that takes your appeal to the next level and looks fabulous on you. To awaken your wild side, go in for faux leather or fishnet. If you are feeling sexy, consider lace as your BFF. To keep things simple yet splendid, silk and satin are your best options.
Don’t let go of your innate style
The styles you encounter when you go to buy plus size lingerie are endless but you need to know what works for you first. Your personal style, comfort and support are vital when opting for lingerie that suits you well. Pick a style that makes you feel sexy and amps up your confidence. Avoid any lingerie set that makes you feel less than the diva you actually are.
Choose your colors wisely
Rather than falling back on the tried and tested black, dare to be different and opt for other colors. The color you choose reveals what you are feeling, your attitude and mood. Confused about the ideal color when purchasing lingerie? Don’t worry; all you have to do is keep in mind the occasion and your own skin color. Red and pink are great for special occasions. Black is a safe bet no matter what the occasion while grey, turquoise and white are great for bringing out that playful yet enchanting side.
Don’t shy away from your curves
So what if you are a plus size? It doesn’t mean you should go in for oversized or unflattering lingerie. Be proud of your body and your curves and opt for lingerie accordingly. Pick pieces that accentuate your curves, even if it means trying on a variety of options till you find the perfect one. Only when you put in time and effort, you look and feel good.
So there you have it. Shopping for plus size lingerie is sure to be fun when you keep these basic rules in mind. As long as the piece you pick makes you feel desirable and sexy, you are sure to rock any lingerie you choose with panache and style. | <urn:uuid:ae06001e-ad9b-4961-bf08-86b4068a4d50> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://infinitelinxfashion.com/blogs/news/a-sure-shot-guide-to-choosing-plus-size-lingerie-for-women | 2023-09-28T18:55:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.935308 | 741 |

This fruitalicious sculpture by Netherlands-based artist Helmut Smits has got us thinking about how we can transform our own fruit bowl into a fabulous piece of art this weekend. Built out of recycled wooden crates, fruit, and green carpet for grass, his Football Stadium is a charming way to display produce. Can’t you just imagine its popularity at your local farmer’s market?!
We love Smits’ use of recycled wooden crates as shading for the produce spectators. He also used the fruits’ labels as advertising banners around the stadium. Built in 2002, the stadium measures 4.5 m long, 3.5 m wide and 1.7 m high and uses halogen work lights for the stadium lighting. We’re sure that you could build one with an LED flood light for better energy efficiency. Creative reuse like this just might even help sell more fruits and vegetables.
Presumably, since Smits is from The Netherlands, he’s referring to the global understanding of football and not the American version, but if you’re gearing up for the fall onslaught of big men tackling each other, you can go on ahead and think about it as an American football stadium. | <urn:uuid:8114f038-fdcb-4c29-810f-6ec8a632cafc> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://inhabitat.com/a-football-stadium-made-from-produce-and-recycled-crates/ | 2023-09-28T18:49:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.938116 | 251 |

I hit the USA Today bestseller list three times thanks to a whole lot of planning and focused marketing strategies built around price promotions. These included BookBub Featured Deals, promo-stacking with other vendors, newsletter sends, cross-promotion with other authors, and asking friends for help on social media.
Selling enough books in the seven-day bestseller list tracking time period is really hard, but with paid promo-stacking and other cost-free opportunities, a coordinated attack makes a big difference. In this post, I’ll share my to-do list for getting the word out about a sale or free book. I hope this helps to maximize your chances of hitting a bestseller list!
1. Select the right book to discount
As a reader, if I love a book, I’m always hoping for more books with the same characters, in the same world. I gobble them all up and eagerly anticipate the next one. As a writer, I try my best to give readers what they want — a multi-book series they can sink their teeth into. Financially, I’ve found it’s to my advantage to write a series (at least three books) because if a reader loves the first, they’ll (hopefully!) buy the rest.
The first books in two of my older series are permafree so I can continue to draw new readers to my backlist. Making them free offers no risk for new readers to try me out — and if they like one book, I have 40 more for them to buy! I’m not making any money on these first books, but I’m making money on the other books in the series when they read through. Using a BookBub promotion for one of my free books last year brought in over 50,000 downloads in 30 days. That’s a lot of people trying me out and potentially buying more of my books!
However, with my newer series, I wasn’t prepared to give the first book away for free. The sales are strong enough to keep the first book at its full price for a while longer, and run a temporary $0.99 discount instead. Bridgewater County is my latest series, and Book 1, Ride Me Dirty, is usually priced at $3.99. I wanted to reduce the price two weeks before the release of Hold Me Close (Book 4), anticipating that the additional readers who discovered Ride Me Dirty because of the discount would pass through to buy book 2, then 3, then 4.
2. Submit the book for a BookBub Featured Deal
When I submit a BookBub deal, I choose to run a US and International promotion. My books are sold wide — on Amazon, Apple, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Google — and the BookBub promotion includes all the retailers. Even though only my US sales from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Apple counted toward the USA Today bestseller list tally, I want those new readers from all retailers! The growth in my non-Amazon sales is, in my opinion, my number one value-add to having a BookBub promotion.
I have found with each BookBub promotion (whether I hit a bestseller list or not), I gain a larger percentage of my monthly sales from Apple, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, and Google. This means my visibility is greater and I am gaining more readership. During some months, my non-Amazon sales exceed my Amazon sales. This is why I submit to BookBub over and over — I want more visibility and readers at the non-Amazon retailers.
Once Ride Me Dirty was selected for a Featured Deal, I reduced the price to $0.99 just prior to the promotion, and prepared the rest of my marketing activities.
3. Send a newsletter to my subscribers
On the BookBub promotion date, I sent out an email to my mailing list announcing the sale of Ride Me Dirty. One of my goals for 2017 is to grow my mailing list. Since April when Ride Me Dirty was a new release, I have added ~9,000 subscribers to this list. Because they were new to the list, these readers may not have discovered Ride Me Dirty, and I wanted to ensure they knew about the sale and had the opportunity to start the series at a discount (again, hoping they’d love it and purchase the rest of the series).
I always start my emails with a personalized note about what’s going on in my life this month, such as warning everyone that my older child is getting his learner’s permit, or telling them about my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary. For the Ride Me Dirty sale email, I shared a secret about my next book before I announced it anywhere else. In the email, I included a teaser graphic (with a one-liner), plus the book cover, buy links, and the book blurb. Here’s what this section looked like:
4. Ask author friends to promote the discount in their newsletters
Another opportunity for newsletter promotion was asking author friends to share the promotion graphic and links in their newsletters. This extended the reach of my sale to readers who may not know me (and lured them with the sale!). This is not a one-time thing; we cross-promote new releases and sales consistently. It is a free and easy way to get the word out!
Here’s an example graphic my author friends could include in their newsletters:
5. Stack other promotions
Once I had my date set for my BookBub promotion, I promo-stacked Ride Me Dirty at other vendors — companies with promo emails, websites, Facebook postings, etc. For the Ride Me Dirty sale, I had over 30 promos scheduled for my BookBub promotion date. Some were paid, some were free. I’ve been asked where I find these promo companies in the past. It involves a fair amount of legwork, but here are some suggestions:
- Ask around. Your other author friends may have suggestions. Join Facebook groups that talk about promotions. There’s a trove of hard-learned info in them.
- Google it. “Free book promo sites” is a great place to start.
- Determine the value. Evaluate each site for worthiness to your genre, and even subgenre. Join the mailing list. See what they send you. Rule them in or out based on YOUR needs.
- Compile a spreadsheet. Yes, the dreaded spreadsheet. Track after the promotion which ones are good for you — or not.
It’s hard work, and requires constant feeding and upkeep! But combining these great resources with BookBub works.
6. Run social media promotions
Social media offers so many opportunities to get the word out about a sale (or new release) — some paid, some free. I didn’t do any more paid promotions for the Ride Me Dirty discount, such as Facebook and Twitter ads, BookBub Ads, and Thunderclaps. These will be great additions for a future sale I promote, but since I was on a budget, I chose instead to run free social media promotions.
Social media campaigns are effective, but time consuming. I posted an eye-catching graphic and buy links to Ride Me Dirty on my Facebook personal page, my author page, my private author group, as well as other groups I belong to (I’m in over 50 — all focused on romance, steamy romance, erotic romance, and even ménage). I auto-posted tweets using Social Jukebox and am in several retweet groups on Facebook where my sale tweets were shared with tens of thousands of people through a retweet network.
7. Ask friends for signal boosts on social media
Remember your friends! Author friends, Facebook friends, Twitter followers, etc. If you’ve been a big supporter of their work, most likely they will be supportive of yours. As I mentioned above, ask your author friends to send the promotion to their mailing list. Asking your Facebook friends to share your sale promo post and asking for retweets on Twitter goes a long way! Join retweet groups, Facebook groups, author groups, etc. Network, even from behind your computer. It’s a great, friendly community!
8. Cross-promote another book in the back matter
To help ensure follow-on sales, I have two different kinds of cross-promotion in the back of all my books.
- The latest list of all Vanessa Vale books with direct retailer links. Each book on each retailer has its own set of back matter links (since I want Apple users to go to the product page on Apple, not on Amazon, etc.), therefore I have five different versions of my book file and upload each one to the appropriate retailer. Yes, it’s crazy — but worth it!
- An excerpt with direct retailer links. I include the first chapter of the next book in a series directly after “The End” with a special “Get it now!” link that goes straight to the product page for that book on that specific retailer. This “Get it now!” hyperlink is different from the book list links so I can track click-throughs separately and see how many spontaneous purchases it drives.
This image shows the 679 click-throughs of the “Get it now!” button to buy Claim Me Hard (the second book in the series) in the back matter of Ride Me Dirty.
9. Measure the results
Amazon US sales of Ride Me Dirty increased on the BookBub promotion day — also the first day of promo-stacking — from 100+ to ~3,000. The second day, sales were ~1,000. An increase in sales continued throughout the USA Today tracking week and the remainder of the $0.99 sale. While the graph makes it appear as if the days leading up to the promotion yielded no book sales, it clearly shows the impressive quantity of sales on the BookBub promotion day.
Again, a major perk of having a BookBub promotion on first-in-series is the increase in sales across the other books in the series. There was substantial uptick in sales on book 2 and 3, as well as a stronger ranking for book 4’s launch. The charts below show continued increases in Amazon and Apple sales for Claim Me Hard (book 2) from before the BookBub promotion and during the two weeks that follow.
Obviously, I’m thrilled with the results! A gain in sales like this means more readers, and I hope they become die-hard fans. The BookBub Featured Deal and promo-stacking efforts definitely helped with exposure. Concentrating my marketing at one time appears to have paid off. None of this was done with the intention of hitting a list, especially since my promotions all began on a Friday (USA Today tracks sales from Monday through Sunday). While I’m thrilled with the USA Today recognition, my goal was to grow readership, a.k.a. sales. I’ve been more of the turtle instead of the hare in the writing race, focusing on the long term. But this specific instance shows that a hare’s pace can bring about powerful (and lucrative) results.
Whether your goal is to hit a list or to grow your sales, promo-stacking a price reduction (including a BookBub promotion) is a great way to grow your readership, your exposure on several sales platforms, and to increase your monthly income.

All my life, things have been weird. When I was just a kid, I suffered through a series of frizzy permanents, overseen by my older cousin who I suspect was a dropout from beauty school.
Yes, that’s me, the misfit with the electrified curls, staring glumly at the camera in the family photos.
To make matters worse, I was overweight. Oh, not as bad as my classmate, poor Patsy Hogg, whose tragic name so accurately described her physique. Still, I did have to wear stretchy elastic on my skirts.
One of my earliest memories is running eagerly across the yard toward my kindergarten classroom and then hearing some skinny kid screaming at me: “Hey, Fatty!”
Unfortunately, that name stuck.
We moved from New York to Miami when I was seven, and my Southern classmates found my Northern twang absolutely hilarious. They would ask me to repeat certain words, especially “coffee” and “dog,” so they could double over with laughter.
To make matters worse, I was the only girl who could not do a forward roll in tumbling class. I did most of my praying as I waited in line for my turn, asking God to intervene with something to spare me, including a heart attack or even an atomic bomb.
But my turn always came, and the skinny girls collapsed in fits of glee as I floundered gracelessly on the mat.
I’m the one whose bowling ball always hit the gutter. I’m the one who did a series of thunderous belly flops in swimming class. And the one who failed her driving test at age 16 by flattening a stop sign.
Other girls went to college, met the man of their dreams, graduated and got married. I became a rebel, dating tortured would-be poets, who were destined to two-time me.
While other girls were nursing their first babies, I was delivering a three-pound dissertation on existentialism to my graduate advisers.
Today, I am still a misfit. I’m a Catholic woman without children. I’m a Southerner without a drawl. And I’m a grown woman whose pet is a hamster named Ignatius.
Despite all this, each week I join all the normal folks at St. Thomas More Church to worship God. Yes, they are the Southern ladies whose homes sparkle with a Martha Stewart glow. They are the gentlemen who drive fine luxury cars and the thin, popular teen-agers who excel in tumbling class.
But I suspect the real truth. I suspect that hidden beneath the apparently perfect facades, there are broken memories, weeping hearts, and tattered dreams.
I believe that I am no longer as alone as I once was, back in the days when the name “Fatty” could shatter my heart.
You see, when the crowd inches forward, I see the young and the beautiful, the tanned and the talented, the rich and the revered. But among them I also detect the secret misfits: the broken, the scarred, and the flawed.
How astonishing that when the priest raises the Host, the misfits can whisper “Only say the word and I shall be healed.”And when the priest says “The Body of Christ,” we reply just like normal folks do: “Amen.”
What a miracle that bread becomes flesh, wine becomes blood, and in a moment of marvelous mystery, the hurts dissolve and the broken memories fade – and the misfits become the beloved. | <urn:uuid:7af4e457-ac4e-428b-ab99-3881a464a0df> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://integratedcatholiclife.org/2011/01/murray-memoirs-of-a-misfit/ | 2023-09-28T17:10:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.965299 | 758 |
Made like my sketch quilt, with some fabric stitched directly to a canvas backing, and some areas just thread on the canvas. I just love the effect, and the process.
When we set up the ground rules for Intl Threads I said I wanted the themes or prompts to be broad enough that I could use these quilts as etudes or experiments for things I wanted to check out. I have been pretty consistent in sticking to this approach, and have already come up with some ideas that have been springboards to larger pieces. I think these last two pieces have opened up a huge new area that I plan to work in this year.

Professor Henry Arnstein
The former Chair of Biochemistry and Dean of King’s Faculty of Basic & Medical Sciences, Professor Henry Arnstein, died in November 2020, aged 96.
Henry was one of the world’s eminent biological scientists and a father of molecular biology. He explored the basic biology of the cell, which led to the revolution that is our modern-day molecular genomic science.
In the 1960s, his interest in amino acids and proteins coincided with the deciphering of the genetic code and the emergence of molecular biology. That, together with his collaboration with Bob Cox, who was studying ribonucleic acids, led to a new direction in his research that lasted a lifetime – protein biosynthesis.
After working and studying at universities and research institutes worldwide, Henry took up the Chair of Biochemistry position at King’s in 1965. In his early years at King’s, his research focused on the mechanism of initiation of protein synthesis and the production of active ribosomal subunits and messenger ribonucleoprotein complexes from mammalian sources. Later, in the 1970s and into the 1980s, he continued his investigation of the control of protein synthesis by various stress factors – for example, heat shock.
As well as running the department, he was a member of College Council and Dean, for some years, of the Faculty of Basic & Medical Sciences. He became a Fellow of King’s in 1979. He supervised and mentored many PhD students and postdoctoral fellows, and published over 150 scientific papers. His lab was always a hive of activity and attracted scientists from across the world. | <urn:uuid:a0747bd0-49c7-4656-a384-ee174ff4f0ea> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://intouch.kcl.ac.uk/spring-summer-2021/obituaries/ | 2023-09-28T18:21:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.978735 | 332 |
Our last blog post presented an introduction to INVENT’s current interview data collection phase. In this post, we want to highlight a subset of questions, which explore how people relate to digital media in their lives, and how those impact their cultural practices.
Roughly 180 interviews are conducted during 2022, to gain new insights into the ways in which people from diverse backgrounds (citizens with and without migrant backgrounds in the respective countries) see and verbalize their (changing) experiences and meanings related to culture.
Due to varying progress, we present preliminary highlights from the interviews, emphasizing data from the 20 Danish interviews with additional interview quotes from Finland, France, Serbia, and the UK to illustrate central findings beyond the Danish context.
Digitalization provides access to culture
Most people mention access to information about cultural activities, recommendations, library, etc. as a main affordance. Culture is something that is accessed online or informed by online content. Another positive (side)effect of digital media is the broadening of cultural consumption, as people discover things that they would usually not encounter.
“It’s definitely a big influence. There is so much information you have at hand, especially with a phone, you can just look something up any time. There is so much more that you can discover that you might not have known about. In that sense it is enriching to be able to find what kind of cultural events are happening around you.”(Female, 32 years, born in Germany, living in Denmark)
Covid-19 increased the digital
When asked about general effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, most people mentioned increased digital and online activities. A common experience from this period, characterized by social distancing and lockdown measures, was an increase in a variety of digital cultural offers and recommendations such as digital library services, audio books and podcasts, and streaming platforms. Many mentioned cultural activities such as live streams of theatre plays or concerts as something they tried out during the pandemic. However, they all emphasized not enjoying such activities as much, clearly differentiating between a digital and a physical experience.
Some interviews exemplify situations of simultaneous, intertwined forms of media use, emphasizing the different affordances and mundane consumption practices of digital media. Consuming cultural products and participating in cultural activities in a digital age implies many modes of mobility
“I remember very clearly when we were driving through [region], and then the phone rang. And we had just taken out our picnic coffees and were sitting on a field, when a relative says that she’s sending us a message. And we got a piano performance video, her son was playing the piano, in the middle of the field. So I thought it was a really great [technological] development [laughing]. It was really magnificent.”(Female, around 60 years, born in Finland)
“Some of it, for example with Instagram it’s like, you’ll have something on TV and if it’s something that I’m half interested in, I’m watching TV, I might be scrolling a bit just to keeping up to see what’s going on outside in the world as well. So, it’s kind of always there”(Female, 38 years, born in UK)
Digital ways of expressing, creating, and (not) belonging
Being able to reach a community of like-minded through online forms of expression, mostly on social media, is also highlighted as a positive aspect to digital media technology. However, several interviewees felt it important to add that they are not “that kind of person”, by which they mean active social media users that participate in online discussions.
“We also had an Instagram page for this gymnastics team, so we did a little bit of promotion of what we do […] and then I was really proud of this choreography that I’ve done. I wanted to show it to people I know in my network who are from or connected to the gymnastics world. And then I was contacted by former gymnastics coaches and my mother’s old gymnastics friends and some I’ve gone to gymnastics with myself. Who have commented that it was cool I did this, it was a good choreography. And it makes you quite happy.”(Female, 21 years, born in Denmark)
Digital media play an ever-growing role in everyday life
“It is after all a lifeline. It’s the one that runs your life. So it’ s online banking/mobile banking, Facebook, texting, etc. I once tried to be without it for a day. I felt like hell.. where the heck is my phone?”(Male, 64 years, born in Denmark)
Interviewees point to digital media technologies being very important in their daily lives, for both good and bad. The interviews reveal a multitude of affordances and the pervasiveness of media technology in almost all parts of life. When talking about keeping in touch with friends, family, and communities, etc., social affordances are more important than the technology. For migrants, being able to stay in contact with relatives, friends, and cultural products in the home country is clearly important and afforded by digital media technology
“The phone is mainly to communicate through WhatsApp or Facebook a little bit. It’s mostly to communicate with the family in Tahiti”(Female, around 60 years, living in France)
“Yes, of course! Sure, sure, yeah, yeah! Daily. Okay, I thought that went without saying (smiles) […]”(Male, around 30 years, born in Serbia, living in Austria)
The digital appears as an environment to either be immersed in or as an external power that poses risks, possibilities, and a need for “keeping up”. Age or generational differences might play a role, especially in terms of having online-only friends or communities. Differences occur when interviewees describe the digital environment as “something to catch up with” or having to make an active effort to stay part of, as an uncontrollable force
“And since I didn’t need a computer in my working career, I’ve had to do a hell of a “digital leap” in the last three years, and I still almost can’t cope with it. […] But yeah, I think this [digitalization] is very unequal.”(Female, around 60 years, born in Finland)
This preliminary analysis of spotlights from a section of interviews points to relevant observations about how digitalization is shaping European’s cultural practices, which will be explored more in-depth in the following and final phase of the INVENT project. | <urn:uuid:15c35f65-b76f-42bb-866b-cfe7623295ac> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://inventculture.eu/2022/11/22/experiences-of-the-digitalization-of-culture-accessing-participating-and-not-belonging/ | 2023-09-28T17:26:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.968253 | 1,402 |
The purpose of this article is twofold. Firstly, to investigate the formation of localized spatiotemporal chaos in the complex cubic Ginzburg–Landau equation including nonlinear gradient terms. We found a transition to spatiotemporal disorder via quasiperiodicity accompanied by the fact that incommensurate satellite peaks arise around the fundamental frequency and its harmonics. Secondly, we review the influence of multiplicative noise on stationary pulses stabilized by nonlinear gradients. Numerical simulations show surprising results that are explained analytically. We found that multiplicative noise can induce a velocity change of propagating dissipative solitons. This completes previous communications on the two issues addressed in O. Descalzi et al., (2019, 2021, 2022).
Bibliographical noteFunding Information:
This review is largely based on recent joint theoretical work about dissipative solitons stabilized by nonlinear gradients terms developed by O. Descalzi, C. Cartes, J. Cisternas (Santiago, Chile), and H.R. Brand (Bayreuth, Germany). O.D. and C.C. wish to acknowledge the support of FONDECYT, Chile (CL), No. 1200357 and Universidad de los Andes, Chile through FAI initiatives. All authors approved the manuscript to be published

Adobe’s (NASDAQ:ADBE) Adobe Summit EMEA 2023 kicked off today with a series of artificial intelligence ( ) related announcements from the company. In one such announcement, the firm noted that it would offer Firefly, its AI image-generation tool, to its largest corporate customers. The latter product will be called Adobe Firefly for Enterprise. Perhaps partly due to the news, ADBE stock is climbing 4% in early trading.
More Information About Firefly for Enterprise
The product will help companies produce content very efficiently and can be used by any employee, Adobe reported. Moreover, firms will be able to utilize AI to “train” Firefly to work in partnership with their other content-creation tools. As a result, they can use Firefly to create content that’s consistent with their “brand’s unique style and… language,” ADBE stated.
Firefly will be offered in conjunction with the Adobe Express suite, “a tool aimed at helping business users who do not specialize in design to create images and documents,” Reuters reported.
Adobe Is Incorporating AI Into Other Offerings
Adobe also introduced Adobe Sensei GenAI today. The system enables marketers to make their content more personalized and allows them to become more productive, Adobe stated.
Meanwhile, as I noted in a previous column, the company has integrated an AI tool into Photoshop, its industry-standard photo-editing software. And the firm is working on utilizing the technology to allow its customers to integrate multiple images into a single image.
The Performance of ADBE Stock
The shares have jumped 23% in the month that ended on June 7. However, ADBE stock lost 2% in the five trading days that ended on the latter date.

Opendoor and Redfin Partner to Provide More Options to Home Sellers
Program gives home sellers the ability to request an Opendoor offer through Redfin
SAN FRANCISCO and SEATTLE, July 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Opendoor and Redfin, two of the nation's largest technology-powered real estate companies, today announced home sellers in Phoenix and Atlanta can now request an Opendoor offer through Redfin's site and mobile apps. By coming together, Opendoor and Redfin are giving homeowners more options for selling their home in a simple and convenient way. Redfin will also continue to expand RedfinNow, its own instant offer service.
With this partnership, home sellers will have the opportunity to compare listing their home on the open market with a full-service Redfin agent to receiving an instant offer from Opendoor and skipping the process of listing altogether. By presenting a complete set of selling options, Opendoor and Redfin are empowering homeowners to make the best decision based on their needs and situation. The partnership is currently live in the Phoenix and Atlanta markets, and the companies will evaluate expanding to additional markets.
"Every homeowner should have a choice between putting a home on the market via a Redfin agent, or taking an instant cash offer," said Redfin CEO Glenn Kelman. "No matter how fast RedfinNow expands, there will always be homes we can't buy, because it's so hard to match our capabilities and capital with the market's ups and downs. Just as traditional agents are our partner for brokered sales our own agents can't handle, Opendoor is our partner for giving customers reliable, competitive offers on homes we ourselves can't buy."
"Redfin and Opendoor are bringing together the reach of the most visited online brokerage with the scale of the largest iBuyer service to deliver a comprehensive service for more customers," said Eric Wu, founder and CEO of Opendoor. "Both companies are focused on making the experience of buying and selling a home simple and hassle-free. By working together, we can amplify our efforts and give customers more choice when making one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives."
Providing Redfin Customers with an Opendoor Offer
Phoenix and Atlanta homeowners who visit Redfin's website or mobile apps will be able to request an instant offer from Opendoor as part of their homesale inquiry. When the Redfin agent meets with the homeowner, the agent will advise her on the home selling process, what her home is likely worth on the open market, and will present her with Opendoor's offer. The homeowner can choose to sell to Opendoor to maximize convenience and control, or work with a full-service Redfin agent to list the home on the open market for a 1.5 percent listing fee. If the homeowner does not want to meet with a Redfin agent, she can choose to receive only the Opendoor offer. Redfin will receive a referral fee for each customer who decides to sell to Opendoor.
Expanding Access to Opendoor's Home Listings
Redfin will also market Opendoor's home listings on Redfin.com and Redfin's mobile apps and promote Opendoor's all-day Open House, where buyers can unlock the home on-demand from their phone and self-tour.
Opendoor's mission is to empower everyone with the freedom to move. Since 2014, Opendoor has provided people across the US with a radically simple way to buy, sell or trade-in a home. Opendoor currently operates in 20 markets in the US and expects to be in 50 cities by the end of 2020. Headquartered in San Francisco, Opendoor has over 1,300 employees. For more information, please visit www.opendoor.com.

Founded by software engineers, Redfin has the country's #1 brokerage website and offers a host of online tools to consumers, including the Redfin Estimate, the automated home-value estimate with the industry's lowest published error rate for listed homes.

Whether you’re looking for a casino online for the first time or you’re an experienced player, it’s important to choose a casino that offers good security and privacy. This will ensure that you’re protected from scams and other types of fraud.
Online casinos have many advantages, including offering a range of games and bonuses to players. In addition to this, they are legal in most countries and don’t require you to travel to a land-based casino to play.
To sign up for an account, you’ll need to provide some basic information, such as your name, date of birth, email address, and phone number. Most online casinos will verify your identity by sending a code to the phone number you provided during registration.
In addition, you should check that the casino’s customer service is available around the clock. The best casinos offer toll-free live chat support and can be contacted in a variety of languages.
Another important aspect to consider when choosing an online casino is its banking methods. These include e-wallets, mobile payments, vouchers and wire transfers.
Bonuses are a huge part of the online casino experience, but you should be aware that some casino bonuses come with conditions attached. These can be things like time limits, restrictions on withdrawals or how much you can deposit with a particular bonus.
The most important thing to do is to read the terms and conditions of every online casino before you start playing. This will help you to avoid potential problems such as denied withdrawals, payment delays or other issues. | <urn:uuid:19121f2d-066e-4d85-8668-8e1628023017> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://irisbaking.com/how-to-choose-a-casino-online-2/ | 2023-09-28T17:41:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.943831 | 321 |

Tullamore D.E.W. proudly launched their new ‘Ultimate Distillery Experience” on St. Patrick’s Day, 17th March 2022,
This new experience gives visitors the chance to see, smell, taste and touch every aspect of how the famed whiskey is produced – and in a world-first for the distillery, they’ll be able to blend and bottle their own whiskey.
The Tullamore D.E.W. story tells the tale of a legendary liquid with 192 years of history. The grain to glass distillery spans a whopping 58 acres where the whiskey is milled, mashed, fermented, distilled, matured and bottled all on one site. Here, 11 million litres of whiskey are produced each year, making Tullamore D.E.W. and its distillery one of the finest examples of Ireland’s whiskey renaissance.
During the distillery experience, visitors will sip and savour an Irish coffee on arrival, walk the still house floor, feel the warm embrace of heat from the bubbling stills and taste the world’s second largest Irish whiskey brand’s award-winning whiskeys.
One of the most breathtaking parts of the tour will take place in the live Maturation Warehouse. Nestled amongst a sea of barrels stacked from floor to ceiling, is Ireland’s only custom-built Warehouse Snug. In the Secret Snug, visitors will get to “dip the dog” and taste whiskey direct from the cask whilst 50,000 barrels – over 10 million litres of whiskey – mature around them. The aroma in the air is pure magic.
At the end of the tour, visitors will get the chance to “Be the Blender” by blending and bottling their own unique whiskey to buy and take away. This state-of-the-art invention does not exist anywhere else in the world and brings personalised whiskey to a whole new level.
Tickets are €35 and available at tullamoredew.com. | <urn:uuid:2acfc81f-443c-4c89-a34f-c654ae5a0773> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://irishwhiskey360.com/distilleries/tullamore-dew/ | 2023-09-28T18:26:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.883799 | 466 |
Diamonds, one of the game’s most crucial ores, now spawn at a different rate, according to a fresh snapshot issued by Minecraft. Like in other sandbox games, players in Minecraft must gather resources to construct their own homes, arsenals, and workshop equipment. Making weapons and tools out of wood and cobblestone is a prerequisite for each adventure in Minecraft. The more ore the player collects, the higher the quality. The more people dig in Minecraft, the greater their chance of discovering uncommon ores like diamonds. The diamond ore is hard to come by in Minecraft, and there’s always the chance you’ll be excavating and ending yourself in a lava lake.
When snapshot 23w13a was released, it significantly altered how diamonds spawned, making them more accessible to players. In Minecraft, finding a diamond needs a lot of digging and a bit of luck. Diamonds can be used to construct Minecraft’s armour decorations or upgraded weapons and utilities. Since snapshot 23w13a, players will have an easier time unearthing diamonds in the world’s depths. According to Mojang, the goal is to increase the value of diamond mining in Deepslate layers.
Two new experimental adjustments to the behaviour of Librarians and Wandering Traders in Minecraft are also included in this update. In the future, librarians will sell fewer generic enchantments and more specialized ones. To purchase books with potent Minecraft enchantments, players must seek them out in specific biomes and locate a master Librarian. Instead of merely selling stuff, Wandering Traders will buy them from Minecraft players. The decrease in trade prices, the rise in trade options, and the growth in available items make them more beneficial.
Positive and negative responses to the news of the diamond buff, which made diamonds easier to find in Minecraft, were received. On the other hand, the changes to Wandering Traders and Librarians have caused quite a stir among Minecraft players, with many expressing their displeasure. However, gamers will have to be patient because the changes were just introduced in a snapshot and are still subject to rejection by Mojang.

The Virtual Worlds Best Practices in Education Conference on April 9 was great!
Pat Franks gave a talk about VCARA in the lovely Roman amphitheater. This was followed by a tour to the Italian Village where Lori Bell spoke. Marie Vans gave a great presentation about buildings that students make for the Florence class. The students did an amazing job constructing their projects for their characters. Lastly, we ended up back at the museum to see what past students have made. The presenters were great and informative. Kudos to all!

So for example …Talkspace Vs Traditional Therapy…
Not everyone is entirely convinced that moving mental health care online is the method forward. “You get to know not just what it’s like to talk to the person, but how it feels to be in a space with them.
” I’ve carried out some research into Skype counselling,” states London-based psychotherapist Dr Aaron Balick, “and it’s not the ‘practical equivalent’ of conventional counselling; it’s just not quite the same thing. It’s truly important that individuals who participate in it understand that it’s a various experience from being in the space with someone, speaking in person.”
” In terms of ease of access, it’s a great start and definitely better than nothing. It’ll hopefully lead them to ultimately showing up in the room. If you’re struggling with relationship problems, attachment problems, or deeper issues, it’s better to be in the room with somebody. Skype and the internet uses a distance from your counsellor that might not be helpful.”
In cases of mild depression, the NHS is now directing some patients towards online programmes instead of in person counselling, a phenomenon that concerns Dr Balick.
If it’s rolled out just to conserve cash and there aren’t important concerns being asked about these services, that’s not good. Then, I’m always really sceptical of individuals who are either very really pro or extremely very against online psychological health care.
Well, if the future of mental healthcare is all about IMs, FaceTime and ‘OMG, which neuroses R U?’ quizzes, I decided I ‘d discover what that brave new world would resemble. I signed up for four really different online psychological health services– ranging in cost from complimentary to , 100 a month– and ran my stress and anxieties through them all, simultaneously, for a week. Here’s what I found.
Does BetterHelp use licensed therapists? Talkspace Vs Traditional Therapy
What I’m doing here is reviewing my experience of using each psychological health service, rather than its efficiency – because even the most wizard-like therapist isn’t going to ‘cure’ you in just one week. I’m merely comparing each service to the experience of being in a space and blarting on about yourself to a therapist. Nod if you’re with me. Okay, cool – let’s psychological health!
How does it work?
As seen on FB (by me, anyhow), United States business is the corporate behemoth of the e-counselling video game. They declare to have 500 licensed counsellors working for them, each with at least 3 years of experience.
After completing a questionnaire to establish what specific flavour of mental you are, you’re paired with a counsellor, who you can mercilessly switch for a different one at any time. (I got Dr. Laura Dabney, from Virginia). You then kick off an instant messaged treatment session that both you and your counsellor can drop in and out of, and which could, in theory, go on and on up until among you ultimately passed away.
What does it cost?
You get a free seven-day trial – just like a complimentary Netflix or Amazon Prime trial, other than with way more questions about what your youth was like. After that, it costs from , 24.50 a week for endless message-based counselling and one ‘complimentary’ phone session with your counsellor each month. Yeah, I do not get how it’s complimentary either, however whatever.
How much is BetterHelp monthly?
If you find the idea of baring your soul to a stranger a bit awks, filtering that through immediate messaging might be valuable. You won’t get the very same connection as with in person counselling, however the semi-anonymity might make it much easier to open if you have actually been drinking two bottles of rum and dancing around in your dead nan’s wedding dress every night.
She initially ascertained the scale of my anxiety, what triggers it– social scenarios, meeting individuals for the very first time– and after that dived headlong into my fractious childhood (separated moms and dads, strained familial relationships, bullied in junior school). She was pretty nosey tbh, but then that’s her job, isn’t it?
In general, the service is remarkably slick. The discussion can be a little stop-starty sometimes, however it was actually a far smoother and more on-tap experience than I expected. I even got fast reactions to messages over the weekend, which was unexpected.
Talkspace vs Betterhelp
The truth you can modify messages before sending them indicates you’re not likely to blurt out something unguarded and revealing in the heat of the minute. Profound minutes of realisation may be tough to come by if you can’t get an unwinded circulation going.
Who do I think it might it be good for?
Anybody with a low-end mental health problem who’s cool with getting counselled in a really internet-y, 2016-y method. If you’re living under the blackest, bleakest cloud imaginable and need major attention (and possibly some meds), most likely isn’t for you Talkspace Vs Traditional Therapy | <urn:uuid:bc950c0e-e3a6-4210-bedf-c4eb9316dcac> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://itherapyrx.com/talkspace-vs-traditional-therapy/ | 2023-09-28T18:59:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.937123 | 1,167 |

Rynek pracy w IT. Co spotkało nas w 2022 roku?
Rok 2022 jest już prawie za nami. Grudzień to miesiąc podsumowań, ocen i tworzenia planów na następne kwartały. My też chcemy opowiedzieć Wam trochę na temat mijającego już roku i właśnie po to powstał ten artykuł. | <urn:uuid:2890b71a-9ff1-4f69-96da-ab307d3d7a57> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://itmatch.pl/pl/team/jagoda-zygmunt | 2023-09-28T17:38:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.657773 | 305 |
The following is a statement from anarchist prisoner Keith “Malik” Washington, marking June 11th, an international day of solidarity with long-term anarchist prisoners.
Revolutionary Greetings Comrades! It is hard to craft a message of Solidarity during this time without acknowledging the suffering and loss of life of so many beautiful humyn beings.
By the time June 11th arrives we will reach over One Hundred Thousand Deaths related to the Corona Virus here in Amerika.
Much of my recent journalism and activism has been centered around Covid-19.
Specifically, I’ve been calling for the release of our Elders. I started this year off with a message of Solidarity. I collaborated with my Soul Mate and Future Wife Nube Brown. We’d Love to see the state of California grant Parole to New Afrikan Freedom Fighter and Principled leader–Sitawa Nantambu Jamaa.
As far as Anarchist prisoners are concerned, I must call your attention to the struggle of our Comrade Xinachtli in the State of Texas. Xinachtli whose Sir name is Alvaro Luna Hernandez will be eligible for Parole very soon.
In order to facilitate Xinachtli’s release we must ensure that he has enough Financial Support so that we can retain a Parole Attorney that will zealously advocate for Xinachtli’s Release.
Xinachtli has been subjected to Decades of Racism, Bigotry, and Oppression at the hands of Prison and State Officials in Texas. Xinachtli is a Principled Thinker and Anarchist comrade who has Earned my Respect and Support. This June 11th lets focus on BEING NUMEROUS in order to Free Xinachtli.
If you would like to contribute to Xinachtli’s Freedom Campaign, I highly recommend that you contact the Wise Owl–Comrade Twitch at Central Texas ABC (twitchon [at] gmail [dot] com). Comrade Twitch has been dedicated to supporting Xinachtli’s Emancipation for a number of years and is able to advise all of us on the best way forward in support of this endeavor.
Inorder to highlight the urgent need for all of us to support Xinachtli I share a quote from a recent letter Xinachtli wrote:
“I apologize for the tardy reply, but as you know, tons of work to do, and not enough hours in the 24 hour cycle to do it all in, especially now with being vigilant of the spread of the infection CORONA VIRUS COVID-19 under these UNSANITARY, FILTHY CONDITIONS.
Comrade Xinachtli continued and said:
When I complained (about filthy conditions) and filed a “grievance,” the pigs retaliated by re-assigning me to more punitive conditions in their 12 building disciplinary segregation cell-block on F-Pod. F-pod is specifically reserved for those who violate prison rules, and those “psych patients” the system ware-houses in disciplinary segregation inorder to “treat mental disabilities.” ALTHOUGH I HAVE VIOLATED NO PRISON RULE AND NEVER HAVE BEEN UNDER PSYCHOTROPIC MEDICATIONS.
Comrades, the Retaliation Tactics and Abuse our brother Xinachtli is being subjected to is REAL. I spent many years in disciplinary segregation in Texas Prisons (TDCJ) because like Xinachtli, I complained about the Filthy, Cruel, Unusual, and Inhumane Conditions Texas Prisoners (especially those in Ad-Seg) are forced to live in every damn day!
Xinachtli is not just our Elder Brother in Struggle, he is actually still recovering from his recent Hep-C Treatment! Housing Xinachtli in filthy conditions and retaliating against him is a reprehensible act. I implore you to join me in reaching out to Texas State Representative Jarvis Johnson (D) Houston, Texas Senator Kirk Watson (D) Austin, and U.S. Representative Lloyd Doggett (D) Austin, Texas. I don’t know about y’all but I’ll be damned if I am going to sit on my hands and remain silent while one of my comrades gets treated in such a disrespectful manner.
There are so many Anarchist Prisoners who deserve our support. However, there are a few who I personally have a deep respect and love for. I want to Shout Out and show strong Solidarity with Eric King, Sean Swain, and Marius Mason.
I want to remind y’all that Transgender Wimmin of color were being assaulted and murdered at alarming rates in Dallas, Texas prior to the Covid-19 Pandemic. June 11th is a time for us to Shine a Strobelight on Injustices and support humyn beings that are routinely ignored by the Mainstream Media! I said this once, and I will say it a Million Times if necessary – TRANSGENDER LIVES MATTER! I said that and I mean that!
Finally, I send out a huge hug and Anarchist Love to my Close friend and Confidant Justin Adkins. Justin who is a bad-ass Revolutionary Transgender Activist has been the Administrator of ComradeMalik.com for years and has had my back through the Good, The Bad, and The Ugly times. I hope y’all do not mind me acknowledging this incredible humyn being who is such a dear friend. Justin is our Comrade in the Struggle which seeks to End Prison Slavery In Amerika.
Please everyone Support our Imprisoned Anarchist Comrades this June 11th and do it everyday if you can! WE NEED YOU!
Yeah! You heard me correctly, I said WE NEED YOU! So that means Me Too!
June 11th Solidarity Piece addendum: FREE MARIUS MASON!
Revolutionary greetings Comrades! I was just informed that our Comrade in Struggle MARIUS MASON has just been diagnosed with Covid -19! We must collectively lobby for the immediate release of our beloved Comrade! This is going to take a international Mass Effort from Anarchists and Freedom Fighters all across the United States and Europe as well as Canada! In the spirit of ANDREA CIRCLE BEAR I plead with all of you to get serious about saving our Comrades Life! We are going to have to contact U.S. Legislators and begin to file Habeas Corpus (2255) BRIEFS AND FEDERAL CIVIL LAWSUITS ON BEHALF OF OUR COMRADE MARIUS MASON! We need Media Attention Now! If we can’t get the mainstream media to help us then we create our own media like IT’S GOING DOWN AND THE FINAL STRAW RADIO PROGRAM! This is an official Call to Action From your Comrade in Struggle Comrade Malik! Y’all know I don’t do no Fakin! This is Real! Fight for the Freedom and the Life of Marius Mason Today!
Dare to struggle, Dare to win, ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!!

What Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up?
Every kid is asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” At times I thought I knew and then came to find out that (no offense to high school teachers) high school teachers don’t make very much money. Then I thought I wanted to be a movie producer and director. Ultimately I decided on marketing—it was a field in which I could use my creativity, my sales abilities and my love for educating people all in one medium. The future is uncertain for all of us and nobody has a crystal ball to gaze into the future, but everyone can pivot until you find the perfect fit. This is how successful businesses are developed. And yes, most successful businesses, or rather agencies, are developed, not founded.
As I have looked around this industry, and talked to agents and agencies over the years, I see trends come and go. I see people trying to differentiate themselves, sometimes with silly investments. Some work and some don’t. The insurance industry is currently in a state of transformation—the wave is coming. The question for you is: Will you be a disruptor or will you be a casualty of disruption? From 1995-2005, the music, photography and video rental industries were dramatically disrupted. From 2005-2015 it was print media, TV, travel, and ecommerce. The next wave of disruption has already started. We are in the midst of disruption in some of the largest industries in the world as insurance, financial services, retail, healthcare, and automotive are dramatically changing. If you don’t want to be a casualty you have to be thinking about, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” In other words, you have to be looking to the future. What does the next generation of agents expect and want? How do you take your knowledge and experience and turn it into a factor in the disruption cycle rather than an obsolete skill?
Experience + Technology = Winning Solution
Most people in these industries that are in the midst of change are scared, and to be honest they should be. Blockbuster sure didn’t seem to be worried, nor think they would go bankrupt, when they turned down the opportunity to buy Netflix for four million bucks. However, they also failed to realize that if they had combined their expertise of the video rental industry with the newest technology in Netflix they would have been unstoppable and probably still around today. This analogy probably sounds pretty similar to many insurance agencies today. You have all of the industry experience and knowledge of how insurance is sold—but that is only half the solution in today’s technological age! You now have to combine that with the right technology in order to create the winning solution for both today and the future. The right technology needs to fit in your pocket while providing 24/7 support, automation, sales acceleration features, data and mobility to your agents. Combine knowledgeable, skilled insurance agents with technology and you will begin to see what I see everyday—agencies selling more efficiently, selling higher volumes, and dramatically growing their agent base because the agent of the future wants to work for companies that arm them with the tools to succeed.
At IXN we believe in the idea that life insurance will be both sold and bought in the future. Agents are an incredibly important part of the sales process of both, especially when they are focused on getting the client the right coverage. Ultimately you have to find the right mix of technology for your agency. Once you have the technological and digital tools and the right training in place you will see exponential growth. At IXN we believe that mobile is the best way to do this. We see first hand everyday the benefits of putting the business of selling life insurance in the pocket of your agents. Through our mobile app platform I have seen agencies go from a handful of agents to over 1,200 in a matter of a few years. I have seen the application process go from an hour of filling out forms to a five minute quick and easy experience that has an application dropped from an agents phone to the carrier.
This is the future of insurance sales and marketing. In today’s world I don’t care who you are—baby boomer, gen-x, millennial or whatever generation you spawn from. If you go anywhere you take your phone with you. You don’t always take your laptop. I recently spoke with an older agent who ended up at a dinner party with a bunch of younger millennials, none of whom had life insurance. There was a discussion about who worked where, which ultimately lead to a discussion about life insurance and the need for it. Well, this agent was seasoned and had some good information, could talk to the levels of life insurance and the products that may meet these young professionals’ needs. However, one of the millennials was interested in knowing cost. The agent pulled out his agency’s mobile app, ran a needs analysis, got a quote and ultimately ended up submitting a case for life insurance that night—all from his mobile app on his phone—directly from the party. He closed a sale at the moment it was hot. He could not have done that without mobile technology; the power you need in your pocket 24/7.
Adoption, Who’s Driving It?
One of the hardest parts of this equation is adoption. It seems easy, right? Give your agents the technological tools they need and they will definitely catch the vision. Unfortunately it isn’t that easy. Some agents will engage and adopt immediately, but your agents are humans and humans are creatures of habit. They need you to help them bridge the technological gap. The mentality of “if we build it they will come” does not always work. They don’t always adopt and come on their own. Here are some best practices I have seen agencies do that help the agents adopt technology and success:
Webinars: Invite your agents into your virtual office and share your screen of your phone or computer—show them how it is done.
Regular email marketing campaigns: Make sure you and your agents are up to date on the latest sales trends and technologies—and remind them.
Push notification campaigns: If you have an agency mobile app, interact with your agents via push notification. This will bypass their spam filters and not get lost in their weekend emails.
Social media interaction: Be social, have fun. Show the agents what your day looks like with short snippets, images and interaction that help them catch the vision.
YouTube tutorials: Most computers nowadays have some sort of screen recording technology. You can make short tutorial videos and upload them to YouTube and share them via your website and/or mobile app.
Dial campaigns: Call your agents individually. This is sometimes hard if you have a lot of agents. Pick some of your top agents and call two per day. This goes a long way.
Tutorial automation, step by step automated emails: If you have a CRM like we do there are oftentimes tools for creating sequences or campaigns. We use Hubspot Sales CRM and we can create sequences that automatically go out at intervals. Keep it at the forefront of their minds.
Mailer campaigns: Sometimes good old fashioned snail mail is the way to get through.
Sales roadshows: This one can be time consuming, but there are few substitutes for looking someone in the eye and shaking their hand.
There are countless things you can do to drive adoption and, while you may not have time for all of them, make sure you incorporate your technology tools into your current programs as well as adopting some new ones. Agents will respond and it will help you drive adoption. Once you have a routine down the agents will expect it and it will become second nature to you. The technological revolution is finally upon us here in the insurance industry. It is nothing to be scared of at all, as it will make the insurance agent’s job that much more productive, efficient, and easy! Embrace technology and embrace future success.

WHAT IS DESIRIAL?
According to jabhealthlimited.com As the first antioxidant, hyaluronic acid-based gel formulated for the treatment of vaginal dryness, Desirial is a unique new treatment option in women’s gynaecologic care. This injectable viscosupplement solution is non-animal and biodegradable, making it both bioavailable and safe for use.
Desirial is powered by hyaluronic acid, which is found naturally in the body’s mucous membranes. This compound can retain up to 1,000 times its weight in water, helping to hydrate and tone any tissues into which it is injected. Because hyaluronic acid has a short half-life and is soluble in water, Desirial features a cross-linked variety in order to ensure the filler’s stability. During the cross-linking process, molecules are bound together and are able to remain intact for several months. This enables Desirial to maintain its hydrating properties for long periods of time.
Desirial is designed and manufactured in France by Laboratoires Vivacy, an aesthetic and anti-aging medicine specialist that deals in the production and distribution of high-quality injectables. Founded in 2007, Vivacy was created by specialists qualified in biopolymers and injectable product technologies with more than 25 years of experience in the field.
Each package of Desirial contains 2 prefilled 1mL syringes, 2-27G½” needles, 2-30G½” needles and IPN-Like cross-linked sodium hyaluronate.
WHAT IS IT USED FOR?
According to jabhealthlimited.com Vaginal dryness is a common experience among women, and may stem from a variety of health issues, including the consumption of prescription medications and menopause. Characterized by feelings of chronic irritation, burning, and itching, this ailment leads to the drying of vaginal mucosa and the loss of elasticity. Caused by the decreased vascularization of the dermis and the degeneration of collagen and elastin fibres, this issue can seriously affect a patient’s quality of life.
Desirial offers a solution to this problem: designed to restore tone, elasticity, sensitivity, and hydration to the vulvovaginal area, this injectable filler drastically reduces vaginal discomfort. With this, hyaluronic acid is injected directly into the affected tissues for instantaneous comfort and relief.
HOW DOES THIS DERMAL FILLER WORK?
According to jabhealthlimited.com Desirial injections are meant to hydrate the vulvovaginal area by providing hyaluronic acid directly to its tissues. By providing indirect mechanical pressure on the cells that form mucosa, this procedure increases their activity. In turn, this leads to the synthesis of elastin and collagen fibres, improving the overall quality and quantity of vulvovaginal mucosa.
This dermal filler utilizes Vivacy’s patented IPN-Like Technology. This inventive feature involves the interpenetration of two monophasic, cross-linked hyaluronic acid networks, stabilizing this compound to ensure increased efficacy, tolerance, safety, and product endurance.
Desirial also features the antioxidant mannitol, which works to limit post-injection gel degradation. Mannitol scavenges free radicals generated by the penetration of the cannula or needle, protecting the hyaluronic acid molecules during the first hours after injection.
How can an injection of hyaluronic acid offer relief to women suffering from vulvo-vaginal disorders?
Injections deliver hyaluronic acid directly into the tissues of the vulvo-vaginal area to contribute to its efficient hydration. This type of injection provides indirectly mechanical pressure on the cells that form the vulvo-vaginal mucosa, thus increasing their activity.
This leads to the synthesis of elastin and collagen fibres and improves the quality of the vulvo-vaginal mucosa
What are the consequences of ageing on the vaginal mucosa?
The female genital organs – like all organs of the body – are not immunised against the passage of time. During the menopause, the tissues of the vulvar area are particularly affected by the decreasing oestrogen production. Without oestrogen, the vaginal mucosa thins and dries out, becoming weaker. The vagina loses its suppleness and its elasticity. Its natural protective mechanisms become less efficient, thus increasing the risk of vaginal infection
As a result, these physical changes can affect women’s quality of daily life.
These symptoms are usually due to the loss of elasticity of the mucosa and occur specifically during the menopause3. Child-bearing age women can also be affected.
What type of physician should I see to get this treatment?
Any practitioners specialised in reconstructive and functional gynaecology. The injections of DESIRIAL® and/or DESIRIAL® PLUS must be performed in the doctor’s office by legally authorised practitioners with a good
anatomical knowledge of the site to be treated and with experience of dermal fillers injection techniques.
What does the procedure involve?
A simple local anaesthetic may be suggested before each injection of DESIRIAL® and/or DESIRIAL® PLUS, to ensure a painless efficient treatment.
DESIRIAL® is injected typically into the vulvar area and at the entry of the vagina. The practitioner will use a very fine needle making it possible to inject the product very superficially, just below the mucosal tissue to be rehydrated.
The practitioner will inject DESIRIAL® PLUS just under the labia majora dermis. A small cannula will be used to spread the product along the labia without causing any damage. The procedure lasts about 20 minutes.
What can I expect after DESIRIAL treatment?
DESIRIAL and DESIRIAL PLUS products reinforce hydration and restore comfort of intimate areas. The mucosa becomes less sensitive to inflammation and associated symptoms decrease. Vulvar pain (dyspareunia), irritation and itching are also reduced. Improving or maintaining your quality of life is an important benefit of DESIRIAL treatment and you should quickly appreciate it. DESIRIAL preserves the femininity helping to limit the vaginal dryness.
Additional sessions of injections may be necessary to guarantee an optimal and long-lasting result. Your doctor will know which DESIRIAL treatment is best for you. Ask your doctor for information on the DESIRIAL treatment and book an appointment for a personal treatment.

There are many places in India, which are of special importance to the Jains because of their associations with the holy persons in the past. Some of the places are where the enlightened ones left this world and achieved the final liberation, the places where the celebrated religious events occurred or the famous temples or image which draws the pilgrims. Pilgrimage to such places has long been popular. It is felt that there is a great merit in visiting them. In earlier times (and often even today) the hardship of the journey was a form of austerity teaching endurance and control of the body. The religious atmosphere and the knowledge that one is at the very place trodden by the great figures of the earlier times and by the countless Jain pilgrims inspire the feelings of reverence.
The pilgrims who make their way to the sacred places may be the monks, nuns, solitary lay individuals, families or large organized groups. For some the journey may mean real hardship financially. Many wealthy people undertake the praiseworthy task of helping others to go on pilgrimage. Sometimes a wealthy Jain will organize a major pilgrim ‘caravan’. A pilgrimage led by a prominent businessman of Ahmedabad some fifty years ago involved nearly 15,000 people including four hundred monks and seven hundred nuns. Five hundred helpers, cooks and security people looked after them as they traveled at a slow pace, mostly by walking but some riding on the horseback or in the motor cars, to Girnara (where the twenty-second Tirthankara achieved moksa) and to the great collection of the temples at Satrunjaya. Thirteen hundred bullock carts, as well as the trucks transported the tents, cooking equipment and the pilgrims’ baggages. When they camped at the night the rows of tents, the lights, and the women performing religious dances and singing the songs, gave the camp the immage of a small town. Nowadays, of course, some large groups of pilgrims travel by the modern transport. The discomfort may be less now a days but the pious intention is the same and it is still the practice for wealthy Jains to organize and finance them.
Most of the great pilgrimage sites are away from the population, almost always on the top of the hills or mountains and often in the surroundings of the natural beauty suitable for the devotion and the meditation. Most such places may have some accommodation mostly free of charge or with the nominal fees. The worshippers donate money for the upkeep of the pilgrimage sites.
The Jain temples throughout India are noted for their cleanliness and the sacred atmosphere. The worshipper enters the temple wearing the clean clothes. The shoes are removed at the door. Activities like sleeping, talking, running around, etc. are not allowed in the temple. The architecture, sculptures and carvings are splendid. The focus is on the image of the Tirthankara, seated or standing position, in the deep meditation with the eyes directed to the tip of the nose, with tranquil and solemn expression. The image is naked and often marked on the chest with diamond-shaped figures. The Svetambara frequently adorn the image with the jewels but in a Digambara shrine it is left unadorned. Each Tirthankara has a distinctive sign, a bull for Rsabha, a lion for Mahavira and so on, which is depicted on the pedestal. The twenty-third Tirthankara, Parsvanath, is shown with a canopy of seven hooded snakes.
Of the great number of places of the Jain pilgrimage, one which is of unequalled sanctity is Mount Parsvanatha, or Sametshikhara, in Bihar, for it is believed that here twenty of the twenty-four Tirthankara left their last earthly bodies and achieved the moksa. The mountain rises elegantly from the forested lower slopes to its rugged peak and the summit is covered with the temples. As they exist today the temples are all relatively modern. The finest one, on the SouthEast, with its five fluted domes, contains an image in black marble of Parsvanath, the twenty-third Tirthankara, dated 1765 on its base. Large numbers of pilgrims come to this place, the most pious, after visiting every shrine, conclude their pilgrimage by walking the thirty-mile circuit of the base of the hill.
From Sametsikhara the pilgrims may go on to Pavapuri, also in Bihar. It is a place of great scenic beauty, particularly when the lotus flowers bloom in the large lake. There is a story that countless pilgrims taking up a pinch of dust to mark their foreheads formed the lake, over the many centuries. A temple stands at the place where Mahavira is reputed to have achieved the moksa and another one at the site where his body was cremated. The latter is on an island in the lake, connected by a walkway to the shore. The gleaming structure, reflected in the lotus-strewn waters, is a splendid sight. Both temples have been considerably renovated over the years. The festival of Diwali, the anniversay day of Mahavira’s nirvana, is celebrated here with the great ceremony.
In the ancient days Magadha State, modern Bihar, was the cradle of Jainism but now a days the Jain community is nowadays strongest in western India. Rajasthan and Gujarat are particularly rich in Jain temples and places of pilgrimage. It is recorded that seven hundreds years ago there were over three hundred temples in western India, two hundred of them in Gujarat alone. In Rajasthan, Jesalmir has long attracted scholars to its famous library of Jain manuscripts and thousands of religious books. Not only scholars, but also many other Jains make the pilgrimage to the splendid intricately carved temples of yellow stone. Rankpur is also in Rajasthan. The magnificent temple, or temple complex, dates back to the fifteenth century. It covers 40,000 square feet on a lofty base, surrounded, as is common with the Jain temples, by a high wall. Following a not-uncommon Jain style, the main sanctuary has four six-feet tall white marble statues of Risaabha, the first Tirthankara, facing the four directions, so the complex plan of the temple provides four approaches. Innumerable pillars, said to be 1444, richly carved in all different designs, provide unending vistas through the twenty-nine halls, interrupted by the open courts. In the thirteenth century A.D. the Jain king of Gujarat, Kumarapala founded a temple at Taranga. After his successor reacted against Jainism, the temple was almost destroyed but it was renovated much later in the reign of the Mogul Emperor Akbar in the sixteenth century. It is picturesquely situated on the top of a hill with a difficult approach testing the endurance of the pilgrims.
Undoubtedly the masterpieces of the Jain architecture, and almost unrivalled in India for the beauty and delicacy of the carving, are the magnificent Delwara temples on Mount Abu in Rajasthan. The carving of the white marble is so delicate that it is almost translucent. The masons scraped away the marble rather than chiselled it and it is said that they were paid according to the weight of marble dust removed. The transport alone for the blocks of the stone from far away must have been very laborious and expensive. There are two major temple complexes in Gujarat. One was built around 1030 A.D. by Vimala Shah, a wealthy merchant, and dedicated to the first Tirthankara: it was restored in 1322 A.D. The forty-eight pillars of the main hall are probably unequaled for their unique decoration; the dome of eleven rings, alternate ones of which are decorated with human and animal figures, is impressive. The later temple, dedicated to the Tirthankara Neminatha, is the larger, 155 feet long. It was founded around 1230 A.D. by Tejapala, who with his brother Vastupala, prime minister of Gujarat, was responsible for more than fifty religious edifices, including foundations at Satrunjaya and Girnara. Each temple complex stands in a rectangular walled area decorated with statues in niches around the circumference. Not only the temples, but also the splendid panoramic view from 4000 feet above the sea level make this site a remarkable showpiece as well as a place of deep religious significance.
Two places of pilgrimage in Gujarat, Girnara and Satrunjaya, are so rich in temples and shrines that they have been described as the temple cities. Girnara is the famous place where the Tirthankara Neminatha achieved moksa. Other famous temple at the top of Mount Girnara is over a thousand years old and an inscription shows it was repaired in 1278 A.D. The temple is in a rectangular courtyard surrounded by some seventy Tirthankara images. This is the largest temple but there are many others, including one founded by Vastupala in 1231 A.D. and dedicated to the nineteenth Tirthankara, Mallinatha.
Shatrunjaya is an ancient Jain place of pilgrimage as it was here that the first Tirthankara, Rishabha, as well as his chief follower are said to have reached moksa. Many hundreds of temples and smaller shrines are contained within the nine walled enclosures. Although most of them are modern, they have been restored sixteen times, dating back into far antiquity. A new temple of Rishabhadev replaced the old one in the mid-twelfth century and Vastupala placed seven shrines in front of it in 1231. Some of the temples can trace their origins, if not their present form, back to the tenth century. Unfortunately Shatrunjaya suffered much destruction during the Muslim conquests in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, but the rebuilding took place after 1500. In 1582 the Emperor Akbar formally conveyed to the Jains the land which they occupied then. Some of the larger temples are truly magnificent with their high sugar-loaf shaped domes or spires, a typical feature of Jain temple architecture, while the smaller ones have often a simple and impressive intimacy. The temple constuction has not ceased and a new temple complex constructed in the 1970s can bear the comparison with the earlier ones. Rich ornamentation and statuary around demonstrate the skill of the stone carvers. From the late seventeenth century Shatrunjaya became more and more important. As the pilgrims flocked here the guidebooks were written for them, detailing the routes by which the pious pilgrims may visit and pray before the many images. On a certain date every year pilgrims to the number of nearly 20,000 undertake a twelve-mile round trip; the hardship is great but the bliss experienced makes it well worthwhile. The strong worshpers may walk a twenty-four mile route. The special ceremonies are held on a number of dates through the year. Certain prayers, remembrances and rituals are laid down for the pilgrims. Great merit is achieved by the pilgrimage to Shatrunjaya, by fasting and worshipping there.
The places mentioned so far are all in the northern half of India but south India has its great pilgrimage places too. The most famous is Shravana Belgola, sixty-two miles from Mysore. Here on a hill 470 feet above the plains stands the colossal statue of Bahubali, fifty-seven feet high, twenty- six feet across the shoulders, cut from one solid rock around the year 980 A.D., with a surrounding cloister added in 1116. It is the biggest freestanding monolithic statue in the world. Bahubali, or Gommata, was the son of Rishabha, the first Tirthankara. It is said that he stood so deep in meditation that the climbing plants grew over him. The statue represents him nude, evidence of total renunciation of worldly things including the clothes, with his limbs entwined by creepers. There are other statues of Bahubali in south India but this is by far the largest and it is a major center of pilgrimage for Jains from north as well as south India. In a Jain temple the statue is ritually bathed every day as a part of the worship. The statue at Shravana Belgola is so huge that this ritual can be carried out only to the feet of the statue. At certain intervals however, between every twelve and fifteen years, a great structure of scaffolding is erected and the huge statue is ceremonially showered with the pots of water mixed with sandalwood, coconut, sugar and milk. Half a million people attended the ceremony when it was held in 1967. When it was held again in 1981 it had a special significance as marking the thousandth anniversary of the consecration of the statue.
The pilgrimage to the sacred places is a part of the tradition practically for every religion in the world. The hardships of the journey discipline the body; the company of fellow pilgrims strengthens the religious faith. To pray and worship at a site made holy by the tradition or consecration or the worship of the generations of the faithful, to stand at the place where the great religious leaders and saints once stood, all these are inspiring and uplifting. The soul receives the merit and the mind receives the peace. The different people interpret a pilgrimage differently. Some simple people are content to lose themselves in the awe of the occasion and follow the rituals and prayers. Others may wish to take a more intellectual view, to dismiss the more miraculous legends, or at least to see them as pious and educative stories, rather than accepting as literal truth. But a few indeed can undertake the journey to the sacred places and will come back untouched.
The pilgrimages and the temples are a living part of the Jain religion, not some moribund tradition of the past. In Leicester, England, a new temple was constructed first time in the Western hemishpere, with fully consecrated images of the Tirthankara. It has a splendid carved stone shrine inside the Jain Centre. This work was being made possible by the contributions of the Jains from all over the world, to provide a focus for the pilgrims who would come to pray before the three images of Shantinatha, Parshvanatha and Mahavira, from Britain, Europe, India, and indeed from all the parts of the world. | <urn:uuid:8fcb12fa-54be-4427-8447-dd145d912687> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://jainworld.com/education/jain-education-material/senior-level/pilgrimage-and-the-sacred-places/ | 2023-09-28T18:18:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.963076 | 3,003 |
How To Make Rock MusicPosted by Mike Schumacher
Making music is something that has been done for centuries, even pre-dating written language! Creating new sounds and structures of songs comes down to how you use tone and rhythm, as well as the instruments used. With technology constantly changing, it’s easy to get distracted by all the ways you can make your music sound cool, but what really matters is using these tools in an effective way to create music you love that fits you or your style.
There are many great resources out there to help you learn about making music. YouTube is a rich source of information, with lots of beginner guides as well as intermediate and advanced lessons. There are also plenty of free online courses available via sites like Udemy and Coursera. All of these have their place, so do not feel that any one type of lesson is better than another!
This article will go into some detail about each instrument and how they work, before looking at some recipes to put all those pieces together. After reading this, you’ll know the basics of every instrument and how to apply them towards creating your own music.
Record and edit your music
Now that you have learned how to play an instrument, it is time to record yourself playing some songs! This can be done several ways, depending on what software or equipment you have access to. Some good resources to learn this are YouTube, Logic Pro, GarageBand, and Cubase.
Once you are able to record yourself performing, the next step is editing the recording. Depending on the size of your song, there will be different steps for both beginners and advanced users. But overall, these three steps apply!
The first step in editing your recordings is usually “de-essing”. This removes any high pitched sounds such as voice cracks, fingernails scraping against guitar strings, or whispers. For removing background noise, you could use the compressor tool. After those two things are fixed, the next step is lowering the volume of the rest of the instruments and tracks. Then you can increase the volume of the vocals, if they were audible before.
Connect with other musicians
Being a musician is more than just picking up a instrument and playing what you have learned, it’s about connecting with people who share your passion for music.
Music is a universal language that brings us together, so why not use this as an opportunity to meet like-minded individuals?
Join a band or start one yourself – your chances of success will be high if you work hard and treat your craft with respect.
There are many ways to connect with other musicians, from social media groups and forums to in person get-togethers.
Many artists and aspiring musicians organize open mic events where anyone can show off their talents for some feedback and encouragement.
In music, practice is more than just going into your studio every day and playing for hours across many instruments. It’s about spending time every day working on your craft – creating songs and practicing them is an easy way to do that.
Practicing does not need to be longer than one minute of work each session! A lot of artists spend lots of time perfecting their craft during the week but then fail to put in the necessary effort on the days they are allowed to play.
By investing some small amount of time consistently, you will start to see progress which will give you confidence and inspiration to continue practising beyond what you are currently doing.
You can also try recording yourself playing a piece or song and listening only after the voice-processor software has done its job (or as close to it as possible).
Develop your craft
Being able to play an instrument is one thing, being a musician is another! The term ‘musician’ applies to all areas of music production, from writing songs to recording and producing them, engineering (mixing) them, and playing them for people or instruments. It can even apply to performing them live if you are talented enough.
As artists develop their skills, there are many things they must learn. Some of these include: how to use software such as GarageBand to write and produce songs, what equipment will work best for recording and mixing songs, how to manage your studio space, etc.
Use software to compose
Recent developments in music technology have allowed anyone with access to tools to create their own songs or at least parts of them! Technology has made it possible to produce, edit, and share musical pieces using free and paid apps and programs.
There are many ways to use this software to make music. Some people use it to write lyrics, other to record vocals, and some to program instruments and gadgets such as guitars or pianos.
By using these applications, you can easily achieve your goal of producing your own song or album. There are even websites that will take all the work out of formatting and publishing your new track!
We will go over several types of software and what they can be used for.
Connect with your audience
As we mentioned before, music is a powerful tool for motivating and inspiring people. It can be used as an instrument to influence others, or it can just be enjoyed for its pure beauty. Either way, it’s great music!
But making rock music isn’t easy. Technically, anyone can do it — all you need are some instruments and a microphone.
However, writing songs is very different from playing one. Most musicians have someone who helps them write their lyrics first, then they work on the rest of the song together.
You will probably want to start by taking notes on things that inspire you – something that moves you- and incorporating those elements into your own music.
Consistency is one of the most important things when it comes to music making. This could be consistency with practicing your instrument, practicing music theory, or just being consistently productive throughout the day.
As you probably know by now, creating new songs is mostly writing! Writing a poem about how much you loved someone’s look this year would make for some great lyrics.
Writing a song is usually started with either an idea or a fragment of a melody that needs developing into something longer. Once those two are in place, then what? You have to put the pieces together!
This can mean starting with the voice part (laying down the main parts of a song), then adding the chord progressions and melodies (writing the bridge and verses) before linking all three together.
Build a website
As we already mentioned, creating your musical genre is mostly just developing your writing skills. With that, what kind of music you want to make and how to promote yourself as an artist are pretty universal concepts.
Your website is one of the most important tools in promoting yourself as an artist. It’s also a way to get more exposure for who you are as a musician!
Having a site means having a place online where people can access your work, read about who you are and what you have to offer as an artist, and possibly connect with you or like your work.
It’s totally possible to create a great looking site free through various resources such as Google and YouTube, but professional sites usually cost money upfront then some monthly fees. Luckily, there are ways to earn enough money to pay those costs.
You could start off simply making a really basic site at first before expanding from there. There are plenty of free template sites you can use to do this.

How To Play Rhythm Guitar Like Bob WeirPosted by Mike Schumacher
The most famous guitarist of all time is arguably Robert “Bob” Weir, who hails from Oakland, California. He has played with some of the biggest names in music such as Metallica, Megadeth, Dave Matthews Band, and Rat Pack member John Phillips (The Mamas And The Papas).
Weir isn’t just known for his incredible guitar licks, however; he also wrote several songs that have become staples in many musicians’ sets. These include lyrics and melodies that stick in your head and make you want to sing them along — perfect for people who can’t play an instrument!
If you are looking to pick up rhythm guitar or learn how to play like Bob Weir, then this article will be very helpful to you. We will go over some basics about rhythm guitars and then look into some easy to follow steps to improve your playing.
Learn to play along with the recording
The second way to learn how to play rhythm guitar is by learning how to play along with a recorded song. This can be done at your own speed, or you can set a tempo and time-frame and see what happens!
Many beginner guitarists start playing by just picking random notes and trying to make it sound good. While this technique works for some songs, it will not work for most music that people want to play!
It’s very difficult to play fast rhythms if you cannot count forward or backward. So, the next step for many beginners is to pick up a drum machine program or use an instrument that has preprogrammed patterns (like a bass pedal).
These programs and gadgets automatically beatmatch (sync) into each other so that one pattern follows another in time. More advanced musicians usually take more control over when different parts of the music sync together.
Having rhythm guitar lessons once a week is great, but you will never be a good guitarist if you only do that for too long of time. You have to practice your skills frequently to stay inspired and to improve!
Music theory can sometimes get very complicated so it is best to just focus on playing simple patterns over and over again until they feel natural.
Playing in time is one of the most fundamental things musicians must learn. By practicing timing regularly, you’ll find yourself picking up speed quickly.
Practice using headphones or by listening through device speakers – this allows you to avoid distractions and helps you focus solely on what you are doing.
You may also want to consider buying an acoustic guitar since these use a different technique than electric guitars which require having a power source plugged into them.
Become familiar with all of the chord shapes
The first thing you need to do as a guitarist is become very familiar with the chords! There are several types of chords that make up music, and most songs contain at least one set of each type.
By learning your notes within these chords, it will help you play many songs easily!
The easiest way to learn this is by practicing using tabs or online resources. There are many sites where you can look up individual notes for a specific chord shape, or you can take a more comprehensive approach and learn how to read sheet music.
Sheet music is just lists of written notes organized in order of timing (and sometimes voice – like treble or bass). Learning how to read basic sheets may be a good start!
There are also apps and software programs that have interactive guitar lessons including rhythm charts. You can use them to practice and pick up new tips and tricks.
Learn to read music
The second key element in playing rhythm guitar is knowing how to read music. You can’t really play many songs without being able to decipher what notes go where, and how they are connected.
For example, say you want to play the song “Good Morning Sun.” Most people would look at the first note as the root of the chord (the most basic way to identify a note) and then figure out the rest from there.
But that isn’t how it works for rhythm guitars. A rhythm guitar doesn’t have a root! It has an open string, which is usually tuned to a third or a fifth. (A third is one whole step up, while a fifth is half a step up.)
The other notes you see when reading music for rhythm guitar aren’t roots either; they’re called octaves. An octave is just two steps up or down from a given note. For instance, if your open string is a third, then the next higher note is an octave plus a third — so it goes one whole step up and three-quarters of a step up, making a total of a fourth.
Learn to sing along with the recording
The second way to play rhythm guitar is by learning how to sing along with the music. This can be done quickly or slowly, depending on your speed in singing and playing instruments.
By using our ears as a tool, we are able to learn something new every day! Ear training is definitely one of the most important things you can do to improve your overall knowledge and understanding of music.
With rhythm guitars, this is an easy way to get started. You will need to know what key each song is in first though, otherwise it will feel unnatural.
Once you have learned the chords for a few songs, you can start trying out some basic patterns. Start slow at first, perhaps only picking two notes per string before adding more.
Rhythm guitar isn’t about being super flashy, it’s really about having fun while experimenting and developing your skills.
Play using your whole hand
The first way to play rhythm guitar is by using your whole hand- not just your picking or strumming fingers, but also your middle, index, and thumb fingers. This method is typically referred to as finger tracing or fingering.
When playing with this technique, your ring, little, and pinky fingers are usually pressed onto the strings in some pattern (usually called a chord). Then, you move your index, middle, and/or thumb fingers along the string to trace a note, create a vibrato, shift up or down an octave, or do anything else with the notes of the chord.
You can use this approach when playing songs that don’t have any specific rythm patterns suchas smooth jazz chords or folk melodies. Just pick one chord and slowly move it around the neck!
Practice this strategy every day for at least ten minutes. You will quickly find yourself able to make whatever changes you want to the chords and get great results.
Use your fingers and your hand position
The first thing you need to do is choose your chords, songs, or riffs that are easy to play. There’s no use learning an impossible song!
You can start by playing simple chords like those mentioned in this article, then move onto easier songs with simpler guitar licks. Once you have mastered those, add some effects and rhythm patterns to create new music.
Concentrate on your fingers, not your hand
A lot of guitarists start off by looking at their hands and practicing how to move them up and down or back and forward. This is good to do, but it’s boring!
You have to add some spice to this workout if you want it to be fun. The trick is to focus on moving your fingers instead of using momentum to get those moves.
By thinking about lifting each finger individually, it becomes much more interesting. You will also need to think about where to position each one for different chords and melodies.
There are several ways to learn how to play rhythm guitar quickly. Some say studying music theory is the best way to go, while others suggest picking an easy song first and then adding onto that.
My advice is to pick an easy song you know already and just practice as fast as possible! That way, you won’t mind spending time analyzing chord shapes and notes.

Tearful ‘Storyteller’ Morrison gets $3 million award for wrongful extradition
Barbara Gayle, Contributor
The government has been ordered to pay $3 million to deported Jamaican Richard ‘Storyteller’ Morrison who was wrongfully extradited to the United States of America in 1991.
The award was made by the Supreme Court on Thursday.
But Morrison is deeply dissatisfied.
"The meagre sum cannot compensate for one month of the living hell I went through much less my 22 years of torture," he told The Gleaner.
Morrison, who was on the verge of tears, said the compensation was an insult to him.
"I am going to appeal it," he said.
Morrison disclosed that the amount awarded by the court was similar to what the government had offered him in 2018 and he turned it down.
He said he has suffered severe hardships for the wrongful act done to him.
An alleged member of the Shower Posse Gang, Morrison was extradited while an appeal was pending against his extradition order.
In the US, he was tried and convicted for offences for which he was not extradited.
At the same time, the offence for which he was extradited was thrown out for lack of evidence.
Morrison spent 22 years in US prison before he was deported in 2013.
Since then, he had been fighting a legal battle for the government to compensate him for wrongful extradition and the pain and suffering it caused.
Morrison, who had been representing himself, filed a negligence claim in the Supreme Court and the government accepted liability.
A hearing was held into the matter and in March last year, the amount to be awarded was reserved.
"My health has deteriorated significantly since I came back to Jamaica, I even suffered a stroke. Some of the stress is from my incarceration in the United States but the majority of my stress, humiliation and suffering is as a result of how I have been treated by the Jamaican authorities and the justice system," said Morrison.
Upset about the long delay by the court to make the award, Morrison filed a claim in the Court of Appeal in December last year contending that the delay by the Supreme Court in delivering the amount for compensation was a breach of his constitutional rights.
He wanted the Appeal Court to make an order compelling the Supreme Court to make the award expeditiously.
Morrison was advised that he should first take the issue to the Supreme Court.
On January 7, he filed a claim in the Supreme Court alleging constitutional breaches in the delay of his compensation.
Late last month, he also sent a letter to Public Defender Arlene Harrison-Henry seeking her help in the matter.

We spent two beautiful days together on a journey to mediumship. Janey was so lovely and helped us all. She even enabled it to go ahead following social distancing.
Thank you, Janey
Morning Janey, firstly thank you for a very enlightening evening with the objects. I’m still in awe how we got information and was especially pleased to see how Zoe was able to recognise her gift for this.
Lovely reading with Janey at the end of last week which brought a lot of comfort, laughter, and insight. Messages brought with love with so much accuracy. Even though due to Covid the reading had to happen via Zoom, I still felt like I was in the same room as Janey, who was warm and welcoming. One of the best experiences I have had 😀
The key stone for me is being able to develop my abilities to help others. Thank you so much for my reading yesterday, not only did it help me to realise my key stone quest but it is the reading that just keeps on giving by making more and more meaning and sense to me as I go on through this day and probably for some time to come too.
Wow, that was deep! But I hope you can receive my appreciation and gratitude ✨ xx
Thank you Janey Jenkins such a beautiful service with such strong evidence of the continuous existence of life. Spirit were definitely with you.
Come back soon.

Fourth in a series
It’s been 25 years since Hideo Nomo stepped onto the mound for the first time wearing a Los Angeles Dodgers uniform.
Twenty-five years ago, Nomomania was a central theme of the MLB season in the aftermath of a bitter strike that forced the cancellation of the 1994 World Series and shortened the 1995 campaign.
When Nomo brought joy and intrigue to the ballpark—every ballpark he appeared in—Fred Claire had a close-up view of the drama as it unfolded.
In his long tenure in the Dodgers organization (1969-98), Claire worked in the publicity department and in the front office, serving as general manager from 1987 until his ouster in 1998. Claire was The Sporting News Major League Baseball Executive of the Year in 1988.
He was executive vice president of baseball operations and general manager during Nomomania, and played an integral role in the team’s pursuit of Nomo after he left Nippon Professional Baseball’s Kintetsu Buffaloes, “retiring” following the 1994 season.
With forward-thinking owner Peter O’Malley’s blessing, the Dodgers signed Nomo to a one-year deal for $109,000 USD, the minimum salary in the majors in 1995, and gave him a $2 million USD signing bonus.
“I had the total support of Peter O’Malley, and the O’Malley legacy speaks for itself as far as Japan and baseball on an international level,” Claire said.
Speaking to JAPAN Forward a few weeks ago, Claire reminisced about the buzz that Nomomania created throughout the majors, how Dodgers games resembled a rock concert tour, and his initial impressions about Nomo’s personality and character.
In his 2004 book, My 30 Years in Dodger Blue (Sports Publishing LLC), Claire recounted his long career in the majors with vivid details of Nomo’s time with the ballclub (1995-98) while he was there. He also penned another book, Extra Innings: Fred Claire’s Journey to City of Hope and Finding a World Championship Team (Mascot Books, 2020) about his battle with skin cancer.
In early 1995, Claire received a phone call from prominent agent Arn Tellem, who now serves as the vice chairman of the NBA’s Detroit Pistons, who was assisting fellow agent Don Nomura in finding a team for Nomo. Nomura’s name recognition would skyrocket over the next several years, and Tellem’s alliance with Nomura helped immensely.
This phone call was Tellem’s way of gauging the Dodgers’ interest in Nomo.
It was the start of a healthy dialogue.
“At that point I made a number of calls and had some people on our staff make calls to players who had played in Japan and had faced Hideo,” Claire recalled by phone from his home in California. “Because at that time teams weren’t scouting players in Japan. There was no reason to scout players in Japan because there was no way for a [Japanese] player to be available historically or in terms of the structure. It hadn’t happened, with the exception of one player [pitcher Masanori Murakami] who had signed with the [San Francisco] Giants under somewhat unusual circumstances [in 1964].”
So what conclusions were made after conducting the research?
The Dodgers were interested in discussing Nomo with Tellem.
This led to a meeting with Nomura about “if there was a way that we could work out an agreement with Hideo to become a Dodger.”
And how did the meeting go?
“I was very, very impressed with Hideo, both from what I had heard about him as a pitcher and looking at his record in Japan," Claire said without needing to cite Nomo's 78-46 won-loss record and large collection of awards during his five seasons with the Buffaloes. "More important, just meeting him and talking to him through Don to get a sense of who he was and what his objectives were or his reasoning was in wanting to sign with a major league team.
“I was very comfortable with all of that, and I can remember that I asked our pitching coach Dave Wallace to fly to California because Hideo was going to come to Dodger Stadium and he was going to throw on the sidelines. So it was really at best just playing catch, because he had come off of a (shoulder) injury. He wasn’t in a position to throw from what he had been dealing with, and also just the time of the season. ... The more I saw of Hideo, the more I was impressed by him, and we got into the contract negotiations with Don.”
Claire recalled hearing that Nomura had planned meetings with the Seattle Mariners and New York Yankees.
Which is why the Dodgers wasted no time in making their pitch.
“I made it clear that I wanted to sign Hideo,” Claire said. “That I wanted to sign him now before he went out to visit with other major league teams, because clearly we knew enough about Japan and through our reports knew enough about Hideo to know [that] here was a very capable pitcher at a very good age and stage of his career.
“So when it came time to meet with Don in my office at Dodger Stadium about a contract for Hideo, and this became very impressive to me about Hideo: I told Don that I wanted to sign Hideo, but it would not be a major league contract. It would be a minor league contract. And he said, ‘Oh, no Fred, it’s gotta be a major league contract.’
“I said, ‘No, Don, I want you to explain to Hideo that major league contracts in the Dodger organization have been earned, and not given. We haven’t given a major league contract to any player. They are earned through our system, and then they have the opportunity.’
“And Hideo, it seemed to resonate with him, in my view, sitting across the room, that he understood that this was something that he was going to have to prove that he was worthy of the major league contract. And then Hideo said through Don to [tell] me, ‘OK, Hideo understands that, and he doesn’t dispute that, but he’s asking one thing: If he does sign, will he be given a chance to make the major league club.’ ”
It was a point that resonated with both parties.
Claire gave his word that the Dodgers were committed to giving Nomo a shot at playing in the majors instead of starting out with one of Los Angeles’ minor league squads. Nomo wound up making one start for Bakersfield Blaze of the Single-A California League before joining the parent club.
‘A True Pioneer’
That was exactly the motivation that pushed Nomo in his debut season in the majors, a season in which he went 13-6, led the National League in strikeouts (236) and was named the NL starter for the MLB All-Star Game on July 11. He was also selected as the NL Rookie of the Year after the season ended.
“It was clear that Hideo wanted this challenge,” Claire told JAPAN Forward.
“He was willing to risk his reputation in Japan. He was willing to risk what he had accomplished as an outstanding and popular player in Japan. He was willing to put all of that on the line, not knowing whether he would be successful, but believing in himself, and that’s why Hideo was a true pioneer. He had the confidence in his ability and he had no fear.”
Comparing Fernandomania and Nomomania
Mexican pitcher Fernando Valenzuela excelled in the strike-shortened 1981 season. He was named the NL Rookie of the Year honors and the NL Cy Young Award, becoming the first pitcher ever to do that. It began with eight consecutive wins and seven complete games and five shutouts in his first eight starts to open the season.
Valenzuela created great interest in the Dodgers among Mexican-Americans and Mexicans, helping the club significantly expand its fan base.
He also helped make the Dodgers a resounding success in terms of attendance. He made 12 starts at Dodger Stadium in 1981, and 11 were sellouts. Throughout that season, Valenzuela’s starts sparked an average increase of 7,519 fans per game (48,431 total) at Dodger Stadium compared to the rest of the team’s game, while on the road Valenzuela’s starts averaged an increase of 14,292 (33,273) per game in comparison with all Dodgers away games, according to the Society for American Baseball Research.
When Nomo started 14 home games in 1995, the Dodgers averaged 42,858 spectators and 37,349 in non-Nomo games. In Nomo’s 14 road starts, the Dodgers had an average attendance of 30,025, while averaging 25,808 in non-Nomo games.
Valenzuela, a left-handed mound magician, knew he was a role model and a hero to millions of people and he embraced this larger-than-life persona.
“I knew I was representing Mexico to many people,” Valenzuela once said.
After the hype that Fernandomania created, the Dodgers faced a similar cultural phenomenon 14 years later. And it didn’t catch them by surprise.
“We were prepared for it, having lived through Fernandomania and having been able to handle it from a baseball standpoint, from a media standpoint, from a fan response standpoint,” Claire observed. “This was not new to us.
“It was very much like Fernandomania,” Claire declared. “I mean, it was sweeping, it was dramatic, it was flash bulbs going off. It was full crowds. It was support from a group of fans who believed and cared so much about the performer who was there, and how they related to that performer, [Valenzuela and Nomo]. And it’s really deserving. That’s probably a book in itself, because the two of them [were alike?] in so many ways, and I’ve seldom been asked that, but they were very, very much alike in critical ways.”
“In terms of how they prepared for the stage,” Claire noted, “the biggest stage in baseball and the world, how they launched their careers, how they dealt with fame, their own personalities, so we, fortunately, had seen the script before, and it was wonderful. It was tremendous.”
Nomo Was Prepared to Be in the Spotlight
In analyzing how Nomo thrived when he joined the Dodgers, Claire, now 84, pointed out that he had been followed closely for years by the Japanese press. In-depth coverage of Nomo’s starts, pitching mechanics, statistics, etc. were exhaustively chronicled in the nation’s sports newspapers, national dailies and magazines and on radio and television.
“And particularly with Hideo, even more than Fernando, he was used to that type of star treatment,” Claire commented.
“From the days he was a youth or pitching for the Olympic team [in 1988], that was something that was not unique to him. If anything, it may not even have been at the same level that he faced in Japan. So that was never something that was an intimidation or a distraction for Hideo. He knew how to handle that.”
Asked to recall what legendary Los Angeles Times columnist Jim Murray wrote about Nomo and what Dodgers play-by-play man Vin Scully said on game broadcasts during Nomomania, Claire simply stated that the two media icons were at the top of their game in highlighting the pitcher's accomplishments.
“Vin Scully and Jim Murray knew the greats of every sport at every level," Claire said. "They were dear friends both and they [were] … two of the most artistic, keenest, well read of sport in our history. They both recognized the uniqueness [of Nomomania]. ... Their words and Vinny’s voice tell the story.”
From media icons who popularized the Dodgers to Hideo Nomo’s unique place in baseball history on both sides of the Pacific Ocean, Claire connected the dots with precision and rich details.
“He changed the landscape forever,” Claire said of The Tornado. “You could have a player from Japan come over and set the all-time home-run record and he will not change baseball in Japan as much as Hideo. ... There’s only going to ever be one player who changed the landscape. It’s Hideo.”

Baby skin color is determined by the amount and type of melanin in their skin cells. Melanin is a pigment produced by special cells called melanocytes, and the more melanin present, the darker the skin color will be.
And now, looking more attentively
Baby skin color is influenced by several factors, primarily the amount and type of melanin present in their skin cells. Melanin is a pigment that gives color to our hair, skin, and eyes. It is produced by specialized cells called melanocytes, which are present in the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin.
The production of melanin is determined by genetic factors inherited from parents. These genes control how much melanin is produced and the type of melanin produced, which ultimately determines the baby’s skin color. There are two main types of melanin: eumelanin, which is responsible for brown to black shades, and pheomelanin, which is responsible for red to yellow tones.
The amount and distribution of melanin in the skin are related to the baby’s ethnicity or race. Different ethnic groups have varying amounts and types of melanin, resulting in different skin colors. For example, individuals of African descent have higher levels of eumelanin, leading to darker skin tones, whereas individuals of European descent tend to have lower levels of eumelanin, resulting in lighter skin tones.
It is important to note that skin color is a complex trait influenced by multiple genes, and its inheritance can be unpredictable. The exact combination of genes from both parents determines the unique skin color of the baby. Due to my practical knowledge, I have observed that sometimes babies may be born with a different skin color than their parents, particularly when there is a mixture of different ethnic backgrounds. This is because the genetic expression of skin color can vary within a family.
In addition to genetic factors, other external factors can temporarily influence a baby’s skin color. For instance, exposure to sunlight can stimulate the production of melanin, causing the skin to become darker. However, newborn babies have highly sensitive skin, and it is important to protect them from direct sunlight to prevent sunburn or skin damage.
To further enhance our understanding of the topic, here are some interesting facts on baby skin color:
- Babies of all ethnic backgrounds can be born with any skin color, as genetic variations can sometimes result in unexpected outcomes.
- It takes time for a baby’s true skin color to develop fully. It may initially appear lighter or darker at birth and gradually change over time.
- Premature babies may have temporary skin color changes due to their underdeveloped melanocytes. Their skin often becomes more pigmented as they grow.
- Some babies are born with a skin condition called jaundice, which can cause a yellowish tint to the skin. This is due to an excess of bilirubin, a pigment produced during the breakdown of red blood cells.
- Skin color is just one aspect of a person’s identity, and it should never be used to judge or discriminate against individuals. Celebrating our diverse range of skin tones promotes inclusivity and appreciation for our shared humanity.
In conclusion, a baby’s skin color is mainly determined by the amount and type of melanin produced by their melanocytes. Genetic factors play a significant role in this process, but other factors such as exposure to sunlight can also have temporary effects. Embracing and appreciating the diversity of skin colors is a vital part of promoting inclusivity and fostering a society of acceptance and understanding.
Quote: “The beauty of diversity lies in the uniqueness of every individual, reflected in the colors of their skin.” (Unknown)
This video has the solution to your question
Dr. Seymour discusses whether a mother’s diet can have an influence on the gender and complexion of a baby. According to Dr. Seymour, a mother’s diet does not affect the sex of the baby since this is determined at the moment of conception. Similarly, the baby’s complexion is determined by the genetics of the parents and is not influenced by the mother’s diet during pregnancy. Any changes in complexion would occur after birth, and Dr. Seymour suggests that fairness creams can potentially address these concerns.
Other answers to your question
Jaundice can be a cause of a baby having yellowish skin. Jaundice is very common in newborn babies and will usually go away without treatment. Newborn jaundice is a side effect of their liver breaking down old red blood cells. As the old blood cells break down, they produce a yellow substance called bilirubin.
Reasons Why A Newborn Baby’s Skin Colour Changes
- #1. Baby Has Jaundice Many newborn babies develop some amount of jaundice, which makes their skin appear yellow in colour during the first week. The eyes appear yellow as well.
- #2. It Tans Easily A baby’s skin is paper thin; it’s three times thinner than an adult’s.
- #3. Genetic factors
- #4. Excessive Crying
- #5. Mongolian Spots
- #6. Weight Loss
- #7.

Confirming a few bits of news that had been previously reported, the Toronto Blue Jays have finalized the coaching staff for Charlie Montoyo for the 2019 season.
According to an official release from the team, the Blue Jays have finalized the coaching staff for the 2019 season. Charlie Montoyo will be re-joined by pitching coach Pete Walker and third base coach Luis Rivera, as was previously expected.
Furthermore, Dave Hudgens, who’d previously been confirmed to be on the staff, will be joined by the reported Mark Budzinski at first, Matt Buschmann as the bullpen coach, Guillermo Martinez as the hitting coach, and former player Shelley Duncan as the field coordinator.
Finally, John Schneider, the former manager of the New Hampshire Fisher Cats, will be joining the major league staff as a “major league coach”, though the official press release, which can be found at this link, notes that he will “have an emphasis on the development of Major League catching”.
Overall, not too much is surprising in this announcement. Budzinski, Buschmann and Duncan had all been reported within the last 48 hours, with Martinez being reported by Shi Davidi as being the new hitting coach a little farther back.
One of the more intriguing names to be added is Duncan, 39, who had a seven-year major league career with the Yankees, Indians and Rays, having his best season in 2010, when he appeared in 85 games for the Indians and smashed 11 homers and racked up 36 RBI. Duncan, who is a native of Tucson, Arizona, confirmed the hiring on his Twitter account.

Schneider, who’d previously been mentioned as a possibility to succeed John Gibbons as the team’s manager, is also excitedly being added to the coaching staff. Though his position is, at this point, somewhat ambiguous, he’ll surely be a welcomed addition to the group.
Budzinski, a former member of the Cleveland Indians organization, is an experienced coach in numerous facets. A former minor league coach, he recently served in Schneider’s position, the unknown “major league coach”, for the Indians in 2018.
With Buschmann and Martinez, both under the age of 35, adding an element of youth to the group, this coaching staff seems pleasantly diverse while also, in some ways, appearing rather experienced. Hudgens, who has been lauded as a fantastic hire to the organization, will now work with some younger baseball minds with a different approach to strategy and gameplay.
While it’s not yet known just what approach this new, diverse staff will take in the upcoming baseball season, it’ll surely be one of the many stories to watch as the organization undergoes a plethora of profound changes in the way it plays baseball. For now, we’ll just have to wait and see. | <urn:uuid:8d27919a-6bf9-4453-8895-c4cb1bb8cc00> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://jaysjournal.com/2018/11/28/blue-jays-finalize-coaching-staff-for-2019-season/ | 2023-09-28T17:47:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.973232 | 672 |
The MLB season is far from cancelled at this stage, but if the unthinkable does happen, what are some of the long-term effects on the Blue Jays?
It’s good to hear the the MLB office and the Player’s Association are continuing to talk about potential ways to get baseball back in 2020, even if it could be a while before they’re able to make any concrete plans.
That said, maybe it was a bit of a low day for me, who knows, but I got thinking about what it would be like for the Blue Jays if it turns out that there is no MLB season in 2020. We’ve already talked about the ramifications as far as contracts go, but what about the rest of the important dynamics at play?
As much as the youth of the Blue Jays would be on their sides as far as “having their whole careers ahead of them”, we can’t discount the impact that a lost season would have on the talented young core in Toronto. It was supposed to (and still may be) a year of transition for this rebuilding club, as the front office started to make some moves to improve the roster through free agency, and to move the team towards being more competitive.

More importantly, 2020 should be a crucial year of development for young players like Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Bo Bichette, Cavan Biggio, Lourdes Gurriel Jr., Danny Jansen, Nate Pearson, and many more. The kids showed they belong at the highest level last season, but the hope was that at least a few of them would blossom into legit big league stars, or at least take an important step in that direction. The season is not lost yet, but that opportunity could be in time.
As far as those kids go, I even got thinking ahead to 15 or 20 years down the road, and how this lost time on the diamond could impact their careers. It’s obviously way too premature to be talking about Hall of Fame chances or anything like that, but how often do you hear “if only that guy would have played another season” in reference to a player getting close to a milestone? Look no further than former Blue Jay Fred McGriff and his 493 career home runs. It’s fair to say that if the 1994 strike hadn’t happened, the “Crime Dog” would have reached 500 home runs, and might even have a place in the Hall of Fame right now. Could that happen to someone like Guerrero Jr. or Bichette? It’s not out of the realm of possibility, even if it’s a long way off.
Losing this season would also mean that the Blue Jays would have to make a decision on Mark Shapiro’s future without season the 2020 campaign play out at all. His current contract is up at the end of the year, and Ross Atkins has just 2021 left on his contract as GM. My guess was that both parties wanted to see how the direction of the team was going this year before committing to a longer term, but they have to make that decision without that luxury.
I also got thinking about the Blue Jays outfield picture, and how the 2020 season was supposed to be about sorting through some talented, but flawed players on the 40-man roster. Both Anthony Alford and Derek Fisher are out of minor league options and likely had to play well to keep their spot in the organization for the long-term, and right now that whole situation is on hold. The same goes for Teoscar Hernandez‘s conditioned audition as an outfielder in general, and even Randal Grichuk‘s placement in centre field. Despite the lack of a significant upgrade out there this winter, I was optimistic about the group. It’s hard to say if they’ll all get the same opportunity a year from now that they would have been getting right now.
There are plenty of other angles to consider of course, as the whole idea is a bit of a rabbit hole once you start thinking about it. The trickle down effects are definitely not helpful for anyone really, so hopefully baseball can return in some capacity again in 2020. | <urn:uuid:8a95b4ae-434b-47f2-a71c-1e840b03f2d6> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://jaysjournal.com/2020/04/22/blue-jays-long-term-effects-potential-lost-season/ | 2023-09-28T16:37:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.978794 | 940 |
The Blue Jays have used 37 different pitchers this year, with various players missing time on the injured list like A.J. Cole and David Phelps while some were designated for assignment due to poor performances like Tyler Chatwood and Brad Hand.
Overall, the Blue Jays currently sport a 3.92 ERA through their entire pitching staff while the bullpen has pitched to a collective 4.02 ERA, ranked #14 in the league. While this isn’t the worst in the league, the bullpen has been the reason for a few significant losses this year like when Hand issued the walk-off free pass against the Seattle Mariners or when Chatwood issued four walks on route to a loss in the Blue Jays record.
While the club has cut away some of the dead weight, there is one pitcher who is currently on a rehab assignment down in Buffalo that the Blue Jays may want back on the roster sooner than later.
Acquired from the Cleveland Indians in exchange for Josh Donaldson back in 2018, Julian Merryweather has been around since 2014 but has been marred by injuries throughout his last few years. He would make his major league debut last season for the Blue Jays, appearing in eight games (three starts) and pitching to a 4.15 ERA through 13.0 innings with six walks and 15 strikeouts.
With Blue Jays reliever Julian Merryweather nearing the end of his rehab assignment, the club will have to make some decisions in order to put him back on the 40-man roster.
This season, the right-hander made the Jays Opening Day roster and was dominant through his first four appearances, earning two saves against the New York Yankees while striking out seven batters with one walkthrough 4.1 innings of work. The injury bug would hit Merryweather again, as the 29-year-old would find himself on the 60-day IL with an oblique injury that has sidelined him for most of the season.
After making a relief appearance in both the Rookie League and with the Dunedin Blue Jays (Low-A), Merryweather is continuing his rehab assignment in Buffalo and has appeared in three games so far. While he would give up one earned run in his first appearance with the Bisons on August 28th, the California product has been stellar over his last two outings, striking out two batters while allowing two hits with zero walks and looking great on the mound with his fastball sitting in the mid-90s.
The righty will need a few more outings in the minor leagues before any potential call-up to the big league roster, but when he is healthy and ready to go, there is not a clear path to the Blue Jays given the current 40-man roster situation.

The club currently has a full roster with the recent addition of Jake Lamb and the DFA of Connor Overton. With Merryweather on the 60-day IL, his spot on the roster was available for another player until his return, meaning the Jays could carry 41 players on the roster until his rehab assignment was complete. Right now, there are four players on the 60-day IL (Phelps, Merryweather, A.J. Cole, and Kirby Yates), and the Blue Jays have 44 players on the roster.
Both Merryweather and Cole are nearing a return to becoming healthy enough to come off the 60-day IL, meaning if the front office wants to keep both players, then two on the current roster will need to be DFA. While one could argue that the team may not want to bring Cole back to the roster, if the Jays want to utilize Merryweather as they march towards a playoff spot this year, someone will have to go.
One can speculate on the various different options the Jays have to potentially DFA to have Merryweather return to the club but the fact still remains that the roster will need to be trimmed down prior to his arrival. Considering the right-hander has pitched two clean consecutive outings and the Blue Jays can use every strong arm they can in the pen to finish the season, the decision may need to come sooner rather than later. Even if he stays down in the minor leagues, he will still require a roster spot after his rehab assignment is complete.
While Julian Merryweather did not pitch yesterday, a few more clean innings down in Buffalo could see the former Cleveland prospect be called up to the big leagues within the next week or two.
If he can continue to pitch as he did through his first four outings with the Blue Jays earlier this season, there should be no reason why the club would keep him down in the minors given they are five games back of a Wild Card spot and every game is a must-win at this point.
Who should the club drop from the roster in order to keep Julian Merryweather on the 40-man roster? | <urn:uuid:62ea1f1c-0f3f-4aaf-bd3b-d425242ae6c8> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://jaysjournal.com/2021/09/05/blue-jays-roster-decisions-will-need-made-add-merryweather/ | 2023-09-28T16:48:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.977886 | 1,071 |

Down, set, hut, hut!
The nights are getting colder. The leaves are falling. And more importantly, football season is in full swing again. (Let’s just hope the New York Jets, my team, can recover from their last two ugly losses).
What can PR consultants and PR agencies learn from football?
Strategic – if you’re a spray and pray PR firm, sending out tons of non-targeted emails, or sending the junior staff and interns running for the phones when a client is angry, you’re not going to be very successful. Sure, you may complete a few “passes,” and get an article written about your client every now and then. But, for the most part, you’re not going to succeed.
The same in football. If you walk out onto the field without a solid game plan, and your quarterback is just throwing the ball downfield, hoping that someone will catch it, you’re not going to win many football games.
Preparation – Research, plan, and prepare. It’s the same for football as it is with public relations.
When the Indianapolis Colts faced the Chicago Bears in the Super Bowl, Peyton Manning watched every single Bears play for every game throughout the season – studying the small defense’s small details. When he hit the field, he knew exactly what to expect.
It’s been said a thousand – no, a million – times. Do your research before you pitch a reporter. Manning watched every single play for an entire season. How many articles do you read before you pick up the phone and call a reporter? One or two? How about six months worth of articles?
You should know exactly the types of stories a reporter routinely writes. If you read enough of a reporter’s stories, you’ll see obvious trends, interests, and you can probably figure out what the reporter is not writing.
Grind it out – It’s important to think about your client’s messaging, positioning, and branding. But, at the end of the day, PR doesn’t happen unless you pick up the phone or write a well-crafted email. Ultimately, good PR campaigns are won in the trenches – not giving up on a story, and making sure you pitch everyone who could possibly be interested in the story you’re telling.
The same can be said of football. Sure, you have explosive offenses that can score within 5 or 6 plays. But, many smart coaches know that one very successful key to winning games is in the trenches. Grind out long scoring drives on the ground to control the clock.
Have you done the hard work and preparation needed? Are you ready to pitch a story and succeed? Are you ready to hit the field and win?

Ever since she was a child, Yasmin Ishbi knew she wanted to work in media. She would read the daily newspapers cover to cover, devouring the news, culture and sport pages. She even read the maman, Israel’s consumer price index for vehicles. “I could tell the boys in my class how much any car cost,” Ishbi said, laughing.
At 9, Ishbi began sending articles to her local paper and was accepted as a young writer. Her timidity as a child was almost paralyzing, she said, and she points to the kibbutz environment she was raised in as stifling her individuality. She kept her writing “job” a secret from everyone. “For some reason, it was a source of shame,” she said.
At 15 and in the throes of an angst-filled quest for self-determination, Ishbi turned to music. “I felt unique, tempestuous, complicated — you know, an adolescent. I wanted the music I listened to define me.”
In that heady, pre-YouTube era, Ishbi knew that when she was done with high school, there was only one place in Israel for her. Together with thousands of other young hopefuls, she tried out for Army Radio, Israel’s iconic military radio station run almost exclusively by soldiers. She passed a grueling five-stage selection process and was drafted into the radio’s unit.
Sixteen years later, her thirst for musical exploration hasn’t waned. She’s now chief music editor of Galgalatz, Army Radio’s sister station, which broadcasts international and Israeli music 24/7. The station captures about one-third of the Israeli listening public, and Ishbi gets a thrill knowing she’s shaping Israel’s cultural landscape. “I love love love Israeli music,” she said. “Listening to new tracks still moves me like nothing else.”
Two years ago, the station was approached by two civilians who had an idea to release a song that would, according to Ishbi, “unite the people.” Galgalatz ran with it. Ishbi picked up the phone and called Israeli pop star Idan Raichel, who agreed to be involved. “Getting Raichel was like winning the lottery,” she said.
“I love love love Israeli music. Listening to new tracks still moves me like nothing else.”
Raichel composed the melody and Doron Medalie, the songwriter behind Netta’s Eurovision smash hit, “Toy,” composed the lyrics. It took two years to release the song. Some 35 top Israeli singers feature on it, filming themselves singing their parts selfie-style on smartphones. The feel-good “Shevet Achim Ve’Achayot” became the 2019 Yom Ha’atzmaut anthem, garnering 20 million views on YouTube.
Although Ishbi’s passion for music never abated, starting a family led to other things jostling for first place in her heart. She never imagined herself getting married, but her husband, Omer Ben Rubi, the soldier other girls swooned over, swept her off her feet. “He is the love of my life. Absolutely,” Ishbi said. “It sounds so cliche.” While Ben Rubi became more observant and Ishbi remained secular, their union solidified her belief in divine providence.
“Omer is my proof that there is a God. It has to be, he is so clearly my soul mate from heaven,” she said.
And motherhood has also filled her life, both practically and spiritually. “It is the thing that most interests me in life. Raising children is the optimal therapy to begin unraveling my own past.” | <urn:uuid:2760482b-9803-47e0-8176-9ee2bd7eca8c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://jewishjournal.com/israel/302061/israeli-radio-yasmin-ishbi-music-maven/ | 2023-09-28T17:56:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.974463 | 827 |

The killing and genocide in Darfur is not the result of the Muslim government or its militias, according a new and shocking report from Sudan’s Minister of Defense, Abdel Rahim Mohamed Hussein. (See below: I think he is the Sudanese Interior Minister)
The Darfur issue is being fuelled by 24 Jewish organizations, who are making the largest amount of noise over the issue, and using the Holocaust in their campaigning,” the Sudanese defense minister replied.
“Yes, they provide political and material support through their control over the media and across American and British circles,” Hussein said, adding that Jewish groups were using “all means to fuel these conflicts.”
He added that Western reports of 200,000 people dying in Sudan were false, and said: “We talk about 9,000 dead as a result of either government or rebel actions.”
There is just one big problem: This man accusing the Jews of behind behind the crisis appears as a Sudanese interior minister official in this article in the New York Times where
Also an article in the Sudan Times names him as a Sudanese Interior Minister.
We also have reports that Jews are behind global warming, the rise in the price of noodles with beef in Western China, and bad television.
Well, at least we know that Sudan has become part of the Axis-of-blame-the-Jews-for-everything. | <urn:uuid:c16ce302-1770-44e1-94f9-51fa3c496185> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://jewlicious.com/2007/07/jews-to-blame-for-darfur/ | 2023-09-28T16:37:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.963368 | 298 |

When setting up a projector, many people overlook the screen’s importance. They focus solely on the projector’s specifications and need to realize that the screen can significantly impact the quality of the projected image. To answer the question, “Does the projector screen matter?” the answer is a resounding yes.
Does the Projector Screen Matter?
The answer is a resounding yes! The projector screen does matter, and here’s why:
1. Image Clarity and Sharpness: A high-quality projector screen ensures optimal image clarity and sharpness. The screen’s surface is designed to reflect light evenly, reducing hotspots and providing a uniform brightness distribution across the entire image. This results in a sharper and more detailed picture, allowing you to enjoy the projected content fully.
2. Color Accuracy: The type of screen material used can significantly affect color accuracy. Some screens are specifically engineered to enhance color reproduction, providing a more vibrant and true-to-life image. With a quality projector screen, you can expect accurate and vivid colors that genuinely bring your movies, presentations, or games to life.
3. Contrast and Black Levels: Projector screens are designed to improve contrast and black levels, crucial for creating a visually striking image. A screen with high contrast ratio capabilities will enhance the difference between light and dark areas, resulting in a more immersive viewing experience. This is especially important when watching movies with dark scenes or playing games with high-contrast visuals.
4. Viewing Angle: Another factor to consider is the screen’s viewing angle. A wide viewing angle ensures that everyone in the room can enjoy a clear and distortion-free image, regardless of their seating position. A quality projector screen will have an optimal viewing angle, allowing everyone an optimal viewing experience.
The Role of Projector Screens
Projector screens act as a canvas for the projected image, providing a flat and optimized surface for reflection. They enhance contrast, color accuracy, and the overall visual experience. Without a proper screen, the picture may appear washed out, lack sharpness, and have poor viewing angles.
Screen Material and Its Impact on Image Quality
The choice of screen material is crucial in determining the image quality. Different materials have varying levels of reflectivity, gain, and viewing angles. Some popular screen materials include white matte, high-contrast gray, and ambient light rejection (ALR) screens.
Gain: Understanding Brightness and Reflection
Gain refers to the screen’s ability to reflect light onto the audience. A higher-gain screen reflects more light, resulting in a brighter image. However, high-gain screens can amplify the projector’s imperfections and create hotspots. On the other hand, lower-gain screens provide a wider viewing angle. Still, they may require a more powerful projector in well-lit environments.
Aspect Ratio: Matching the Screen with Projector
The aspect ratio is an essential consideration when choosing a projector screen. It determines the screen’s width and height proportions. Aspect ratios that are most common are 4:3 (standard), 16:9 (widescreen), and 2.35:1 (cinema). Matching the screen’s aspect ratio with the projector ensures the image is displayed correctly without distortion.
Size Matters: Finding the Perfect Fit
The screen size is another critical factor in optimizing the viewing experience. The screen should be large enough to accommodate the desired audience while maintaining a comfortable viewing distance. A screen that is too small can make it difficult for everyone to see the content clearly, while a huge screen may strain the viewer’s neck and eyes.
The Different Types of Projector Screens
Now that we understand the importance of a projector screen, let’s explore the different types available on the market:
1. Fixed Frame Screens
Fixed frame screens are permanently mounted to a wall or frame and do not retract. They are known for providing a flat, taut surface that eliminates any wrinkles or waves. These screens are ideal for dedicated home theaters or conference rooms where a permanent setup is preferred.
2. Motorized Screens
Motorized screens are retractable and conveniently rolled up or down using an electric motor. This type of screen offers flexibility as it can be hidden when not in use, creating a clean and clutter-free space. Motorized screens are popular for multipurpose rooms or areas with limited wall space.
3. Portable Screens
Portable screens are lightweight and easy to transport, making them suitable for presentations on the go. These screens are typically made of foldable fabric or a collapsible frame. Portable screens are an excellent choice for businesses or individuals who frequently travel and require a mobile projection solution.
4. Ambient Light Rejecting (ALR) Screens
ALR screens are designed to combat ambient light in the room, making them an excellent choice for spaces with high natural or artificial light levels. These screens have a unique surface that reflects only the projected light, minimizing the impact of external light sources. ALR screens enhance image contrast and ensure a vibrant image even in bright environments.
Choosing the Right Screen for Different Environments
The optimal projector screen will vary depending on the environment in which it will be used. Here are a few scenarios and the recommended screen types:
- Home theater: fixed frame or motorized screens for dedicated spaces.
- Office presentations: portable screens for mobility and convenience.
- Well-lit rooms: ALR screens to combat ambient light.
- Outdoor events: inflatable screens for large-scale projections.
Maintenance and Cleaning Tips
Regular maintenance and cleaning are crucial for your projector screen’s long-term stability and best performance. Observe the following advice:
- The screen should be carefully cleaned with a gentle, lint-free cloth.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning specific screen materials.
- Store the screen in a safe place when not in use to prevent damage.
Projector Screen vs. Wall: Pros and Cons
While some may consider projecting directly onto a wall, a dedicated projector screen offers several advantages. Let’s examine the pros and cons of each choice:
In conclusion, the projector screen does matter when achieving an optimal viewing experience. The right screen can significantly enhance image clarity, color accuracy, contrast, and viewing angles. Whether you are setting up a home theater or a professional presentation room, investing in a high-quality projector screen is essential to unlocking the full potential of your projector. So, pay attention to the importance of the screen when planning your audiovisual setup.
Remember, the type of projector screen you choose should align with your specific needs and preferences. Consider factors such as screen type, material, installation options, and ambient light conditions to make an informed decision. Selecting the right projector screen can elevate your viewing experience to new heights.
FAQs About Projector Screens
Absolutely. The screen material can significantly impact image quality, including brightness, color accuracy, and contrast.
While using a white wall as a makeshift projector screen is possible, it won’t provide the same image quality and performance as a dedicated projector screen.
Yes, most projector screens come with installation instructions and can be easily set up by following the guidelines.
Projector screens can be cleaned using a soft cloth or brush and mild cleaning solutions. Following the manufacturer’s instructions for proper cleaning and maintenance is essential.
Specific projector screens are designed to enhance 3D viewing by maintaining image polarization and minimizing cross-talk between the left and right eye images.
To accommodate different content formats, yes, projector screens are available in various aspect ratios, including 4:3, 16:9, and 2.35:1.

When Joey was little and we were just starting out in special education, Joey's teacher told us to always bring a photo of him to the IEP meeting. The point was to make sure that no one lost sight of the fact that Joey was wasn't just a name on a piece of paperwork. He is a human being.
Being me, I made a Powerpoint. I started with slides about who Joey was as a person- what he liked, things he was good at, and lots and lots of pictures. This is the child we are trying to help. Then I laid out what help he needed and what we felt his goals should be.
I still make them for big IEP meetings. It is important. You have to look into that face and tell me why you think he deserves less than anyone else. I no longer have to take those Powerpoints in to the meetings, though.
I take Joey.
This is HIS LIFE. He deserves it, and has the same right to it, as everyone else. The same as you.
Or people born with issues that insurers see as medically significant. Not all "pre-existing conditions" are from people making mistakes. As we learned before the laws changed to help all people, autism is a significant pre-existing condition. Because it is a pervasive neurological condition, ANYTHING can be connected to it, especially by the insurance company, who seems to think their opinion is far more important than the expertise and opinion of your doctor in what is "medically necessary."
The House bill converts Medicaid to block grants with federal spending cap. That means the long waitlists for people like my son, waiting to get the healthcare assistance they qualify for, will get longer. When that block runs out, people like my son won't be able to access medical care at all.
Let's be clear: If you cannot afford something, you cannot access it. It is not available to you. There are lots of big mansions out there, but they are not available for me to live in, because I cannot afford to pay for one. A weekend at the beach is out of my reach because not only can I not pay for it, but I would need time off from work to go, and transportation to get there. Having life-saving and life-changing technology is useless if those who need it cannot access it.
When we chop healthcare and community supports, we are chopping Joey's opportunity to be an independent person. We restrict the possibility of him becoming a tax-paying member of society; and we need those taxes to help others in our community who need our help.
That is what communities are for. That is what they do. They bring us together so we can all help out. We are all in this together.
This is the young man you want to throw away, because he is autistic. He has a pre-existing condition, and thus can be denied health insurance, and thus denied healthcare access.
If you think my son, and people like him, are a waste of your tax dollars, I recommend re-evaluating your ideas of community and morality. After all, we should have learned long ago that we all get sick, we all grow old, and we all die. If you think you can face that all alone, without the human community, you are in for a very rude awakening. | <urn:uuid:2cb064ab-6803-4f4b-bc48-631d259ccb06> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://joeyandymom.blogspot.com/2017_04_30_archive.html | 2023-09-28T17:13:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.984705 | 688 |

Snow Teeth Whitening has a serum that was made with well-crafted,well-measured but safe and effective ingredients. This serum will then be enhanced with blue-light technology.
Snow Teeth Whitening includes hydrogen, and carbamide peroxide. Too many carbamide peroxides can cause damage to teeth. However, the serum is designed to make sure that it doesn’t go over the threshold.

It’s time to look back at 2018 and parse out what’s short-lived and what’s permanent. After all, not all trends have staying power. Some of interior design’s most lasting legacies started out as fads, while other trends seem to have vanished as fast as they appeared. With this in mind, our Year-in-Review series takes a closer look at five design ideas that have the potential to become something far more than just fleetingly fashionable. Along with selecting sustainable products, we’ll be taking a closer look at black finishes, marble in home products, bright colors and geometric patterns.
Not only does green living reduce the carbon footprint today, but it paves the way for a better tomorrow. For our Year-In-Review debut, let’s take a moment to celebrate sustainability with three eco-conscious products. For starters, Malvina from Newport Brass exceeds WaterSense requirements while meeting water-saving standards set forth by the California Energy Commission and CALGreen. Meanwhile, the Tinka collection from Les Jardins Solar Lighting features interchangeable solar lighting modules. Not only are they transposable across the entire Les Jardins Solar Lighting line, but the module produces 500 lumens of LED light and up to 200 hours of life per charge. And finally, while we’re on the topic of lighting, the LED BUSTER Bulb from Buster + Punch is an innovative eco-friendly LED alternative to traditional filament bulbs and the first to implement novel changes in design. In the end, any of these must-have products not only make the environment look good, but help us feel good, too.
Geometric lines and exact planes come together in Newport Brass’ new Malvina faucet, an engineering marvel inspired by the iconic smooth stucco and concrete of contemporary architecture. Whether it’s the solid-brass rectangular lever or perfectly scaled cross handles, all fixtures are meticulously shaped and expertly finished at Newport Brass’ California facility in order to achieve a striking and precise design. With a deep commitment to sustainable manufacturing processes, Newport Brass takes pride in energy-saving methods that shrink emissions, recycle materials, enhance resources, and lessen waste.
Les Jardins Solar Lighting
Tinka (in teak wood)
A true standout in modern design, Tinka brings a whole new meaning to green living. Available in sustainable teak wood, the light is a must-have for brightening backyard gatherings, glamping trips and every adventure along the way. The replaceable and interchangeable solar LED module can simply swap out your old solar modules with new ones as our renewable lighting technology evolves. Because our lanterns are designed to be timeless, they can travel with you through life and never end up in a landfill. With dimming capabilities and a motion sensor, a lantern from the Les Jardins Solar Lighting collection is far more than just attractive outdoor lighting: It brings luxury within reach and embraces cutting-edge solar technology at the same time.
Buster + Punch
LED BUSTER Bulb
Magic happens inside the resin light base at the center of the LED BUSTER Bulb. That’s because it performs two incredible functions: a focused spotlight to illuminate surfaces below and a warm ambient glow to light faces and spaces around it. With an E26 base, it can also be used as a direct replacement for standard screw-thread incandescent bulbs. Defining the next evolution in an industry that is undergoing a change in ideals, the LED BUSTER Bulb raises the bar in lighting technologies. | <urn:uuid:8b0614f0-cacb-4a46-976e-59d0e089b039> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://jots.drsandassociates.com/2018/12/19/three-sustainable-design-products-home/ | 2023-09-28T18:44:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.899546 | 745 |

Low in calories, broccoli is especially rich vitamins A, C, K, B6 and E, calcium, folate, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium.
Health Benefits Of Broccoli
The phytonutrients and antioxidants in broccoli help boost our defense mechanisms and stimulates production of antibodies to fight cancer.
Bone-building: A cup of broccoli juice a day goes a long way to provide calcium for strong bones building. Far better than cow’s milk that contains saturated fats and has no other healing virtues as broccoli does.
Birth defect, prevent: The rich antioxidant compounds protect sperms and prevents them from genetic damage and possible birth defects.
Breast cancer: Broccoli has an anti-estrogenic compound known as glucosinolates that are especially helpful to excrete excess estrogen that are linked to breast cancer.
Digestive system: Like all cruciferous vegetables, broccoli promotes good colon health, protecting against constipation and colon cancer.
Eye disorders: The high antioxidant level in broccoli promotes overall good health and is the best defenses against eye diseases. Lutein in broccoli is especially protective for age-related macular degeneration.
Immune system: Just half a cup of broccoli juice a day will provide more than your daily required vitamin C that helps boost immunity and fight many diseases.
Prostate cancer: Indole-3-carbinol in broccoli is a remarkable cancer-fighting compound which not only fight breast cancer, it has also been shown to be helpful in fighting prostate cancer.
Skin: The high concentration of sulforaphane in broccoli helps to boost liver and skin’s detoxification abilities, helping the skin to repair damages done from over-exposure to the sun’s UV harm.
Stomach disorders: The high content of sulforaphane in broccoli may help to rid the body of the Helicobacter pylori which is responsible for most peptic ulcers. It also helps other stomach disorders like gastritis, esophagitis and acid indigestion.
Tumors: Sulforaphane is found in extremely high concentration in broccoli sprouts, that help stimulate the body’s production of detoxification enzymes which may help reduce the size of tumors.
When buying broccoli, choose those with deep green color, and stalks and stems that are firm. Store dry in an open plastic bag in the refrigerator up to about four days.
A centrifugal juicer can extract only very little juice out of broccoli but a gear juicer does the job perfectly. You can mix broccoli juice with carrot and green apple juice to make it palatable. Drinking broccoli juice raw is best to obtain the most nutrition out of it.
To eat it, lightly steam or quick stir-fry are recommended to preserve as much of its antioxidant compounds as possible.<

Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, lamented about their hardships during a much-watched interview with Oprah Winfrey earlier this month.
Harry said he was financially cut off by his father, Prince Charles, after he announced that he wanted to drop out of conducting duties for the royal family. And he only had $15 million left to him from his mother, Princess Diana, who died in a car crash in 1997.
Markle said their life was tough, especially after leaving Britain and being forced to make do in a 24,000-square-foot home on 22 acres (worth $18 million) that was loaned to them by film director Tyler Perry.
But life works in mysterious ways. Anastasia Hanson, who lives not far from the couple's newly purchased house in California, opened up a GoFundMe page to help the struggling couple.
"I am raising funds to pay off the mortgage for the Montecito, California home of Harry and Meghan," she writes on the page, where she set a $10 million goal. "Where 2 million supporters to donate just $5 each, the Goal is met and the loan can be paid off. After their interview, I was moved with compassion to help get their home paid off. As they are now financially independent, this will help and be a loving gift."
Hanson also said" "This is a legal legitimate fundraiser," and noted that the couple paid $5 million when they moved in, leaving a hefty mortgage. "The donations will go directly to the City National Bank account once the goal is met and pay off the home mortgage.
"We all can use some form of help in the world, and it begins with love and compassion. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!"
According to the U.K.'s The Sun newspaper, the GoFundMe page also said about Harry and Meghan: "When they came to the USA they were without jobs and with limited funds. They've stated that they've had a very rough time, so this fundraiser is a way to give help, compassion, and love by paying their home loan in full."
As of Tuesday afternoon, the fundraising effort had pulled in $110 – or $9,999,890 short of the goal. The page has been removed (but can still be seen here).
Despite the apparently failed fundraising effort, Harry and Meghan appear to be rebounding. They recently made mega-deals with Netflix and Spotify worth more than $100 million. | <urn:uuid:2b636085-50fd-48fd-8007-cd491d9be4e3> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://justthenews.com/nation/culture/gofundme-pay-prince-harrys-and-duchess-meghans-mortgage-fails-spectacularly?embed&utm_source=americasvoice.news&utm_medium=embed&utm_campaign=syndication | 2023-09-28T18:23:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.986475 | 540 |

How this company got me to 3x my investment and become my most-trusted source
About This EpisOde
Ok so if you’re a mom car seats are just like a fact of life, and sometimes they can be super confusing, especially if you are super type-a and like to have everything perfectly (especially when it comes to the safety of your child) just like me.
AND, let me tell you how delighted I was after I got this carseat unboxed and into the car.
So here’s what happened…
→ daughter just sized out of her little infant car seat
→ wanted a bigger one that would last, and heard great things about the Graco 4Ever
→ super clear directions about leveling (bubble)
→ easy to move from car to car (we actually got two, one for each car)
→ EVEN GIVE SPECIFIC DIRECTIONS THAT I HAD NEVER HEARD BEFORE ABOUT HOW TO PROPERLY BUCKLE AND TRUST ME, I THOUGHT I WAS 100% DOING IT RIGHT
→ then we got into a car accident
→ after learning the right way to buckle from Graco, I was always on EVERYONE about it, like I was just before this accident (I always told them, it’s not you I don’t trust, it’s other drivers)
→ this carseat had the highest backwards facing limits I could find (40 lbs)
→ she was facing backwards, wasn’t verbal yet, took her to hospital, did x-ray and she checked out, they said the only thing for her was potentially a bruise
→ literally WHILE WE WERE IN THE HOSPITAL, I SENT MY PARENTS OUT TO GET A NEW CAR SEAT FROM TARGET OF THE EXACT SAME BRAND AND TYPE TO A T (but it was a newer version)
→ super easy to install and I just have so much more gratitude, and appreciation for this company and this carseat now, and I am just so grateful to know that she will be safe as this car seat grows with her
Graco did such an incredible job and I’m gonna break it down, but the one thing that could have made it easier, would just be videos, and someone talking through and demonstrating the manual.
Here are your takeaways The Conscious Kid:
All you have to do is this…
→ create videos talking through and demonstrating the video
→ especially when it’s time for me to turn the car seat front facing which is coming up soon
Here’s what they got right from the Client Delight™ Framework.
→ delivered what I expected and what was promised
→ excitement (my daughter literally got into the carseat in the house to practice before installing it)
→ let me know what to expect
→ the next step of immediate value
Once they have all 8 pieces in place, they’ll be good to go.
This is what I do with my clients, if you want to check it out go to ClientDelightFramework.com
Here’s what you can implement into your business right now:
→ how can you explain something in a way that your clients have never had before?
→ how can you take something they thought they knew (around your expertise) and just shine a whole new light on it?
→ how can you give them all that they will need? (some companies see this with scarcity and want to keep essentially forcing clients to come back, when really the company who delivers it all is going to gain their trust, keep them coming back as needed, and rave about them)
Are you ready to up your retention + referral game?

It’s probably no secret that I don’t advertise. It’s probably also no secret that over 85% of the shoots I do and clients I work with are never even featured on this website or any social media page. For years, this would bother me, as if I wasn’t doing my job properly or keeping up with the trends. And then, about my fifth or sixth year, maybe later…I came to realize, I am doing exactly what I want to be doing.
I love working with people.
Love putting them in environments that they can feel comfortable and just be themselves. It’s not easy being in front of a lens, much less thinking about what you look like, what to do with my hands and oh my goodness….what are these images going to look like? Whew….that’s a lot! There is no way I can earthly explain this to someone who just cold calls me from my website or maybe even someone who has known me in the community but has never done a photo shoot with me. That in fact, probably most of what is shown on social media isn’t real or much less inspires you to go out and get your photos done. The most important thing is telling your story in a way that is true, authentic and has images that takes you back to that time, that chapter and you can recall exactly what it was like. To do this, to create these types of images there has to be a relationship there. A level of trust that says, ok, if I do this…I am putting my family in your hands. And money. And time. And all the work that goes into thinking about wardrobe, coordinating schedules, etc. That in the end, we will have these timeless, classic images that I am so happy with.
The best part and I do mean full on adrenaline rush is when the clients see their images for the first time! Now…. I know they like me and all….but I am not quite sure they really, really understood how beautiful they are or what it looks like from the other side of the lens, when you just let your guard down and connect with your people. When faith kicks in and you just breathe…..forget about all the other stuff and squeeze your clan…enjoying the moment!
The Sterns family not only took this leap of faith with me but ended up shooting on one of the colder days of the new year. Simply put, the were wonderful! The whole Sterns clan are the easiest, most laid back family whom I was lucky to hang out with– we ended up with lots of raised eyebrows & giggles! Wade & Kim are naturals and were great role models for both of their kids; Reese and Ryne. And let me just make a public service announcement to say that Ryne Sterns was above & beyond not only a gentlemen but so connected, so-not-your-typical-teenager-boy that I was overwhelmed with gratitude for his prescense and great attitude. It isn’t too often this target group gets compliments so I had to make a shout out to Wade & Kim- great work!
Below are just a few little sneak peeks of what we have been playing with in the Studio this week!
Stay tuned as we also did Reese’s Senior shoot which was nothing short of stunning- this young lady rocked the camera and it the epitome of style & grace!
Love ya Stern Clan! | <urn:uuid:d9878326-1c3d-4c18-aa8f-92292a1c7dda> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://karenmphotos.com/2017/02/baby-its-cold-outside-the-sterns-family-cypress-texas-karen-mcconaughey-photography/ | 2023-09-28T16:44:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.975561 | 717 |

A slot is an area of the screen on a video slot machine that displays the total value of credits and/or tokens a player has available to play. It usually also indicates the current jackpot size, along with other important information specific to that slot game. Many slot machines have a HELP or INFO button that will explain the various payouts, paylines, bonus rounds and special features of the game.
The random number generator, or RNG, determines the outcome of each spin on a slot machine. It is a complex piece of software that is constantly running through a massive spectrum of numbers. When the machine’s signal is activated, whether it is a button being pressed or the handle being pulled, the RNG generates a random set of numbers within that spectrum. The slot machine then uses these numbers to determine which symbols will appear on the reels.
Slots can have multiple paylines, but the most common is a horizontal line that runs across all five reels and pays out if the same symbol appears on each one. Other patterns can include diagonal lines (four matching symbols), V-shaped groups of three symbols, and more. Some slots even feature a special bonus round where players can win extra rewards by landing on certain symbols.
In order to maximize their chances of winning, most slot players will play all of the paylines available. However, this can quickly deplete a player’s bankroll. Before playing, players should know how much money they are comfortable losing and should set a budget before beginning play. This budget should be comprised of only disposable income, as gambling can easily become an addiction if players use non-essential funds.
Another common myth is that a slot machine is “due to hit.” This belief has led some players to spend their entire casino budget on a single machine in the hopes of hitting a jackpot. The truth is that no slot machine is ever “due to hit.” While it is true that some machines are hotter than others, casinos do not place them based on their payback percentages and do not reward machines simply because they are at the ends of aisles. | <urn:uuid:2c36fbab-eda8-4ffa-88be-0171f3069a9d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://kemenuhbutterflypark.com/what-is-a-slot-12/ | 2023-09-28T18:19:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.948419 | 436 |

I am writing this article because I have a son graduating this year from high school. He is feeling such a tremendous amount of pressure from his peers, teachers, and counselors around HAVING to have his whole life planned out. None of them understand how he can not have a life plan yet. Some are even deeply concerned about his future and ability to do anything “worth while” because he has no plan other than to survive the rest of this school year.
I suppose they are all right, after all he is considered an adult now at age 18. He has had a sufficient amount of years on this earth to know who he is, what he wants and how to go about getting it. All the other seniors are making their life plans and sending in college applications for education in the industry of their hearts desire or at least have decided on a career path that will pay them well and they will be successful at.
So WTF is wrong with my kid?
Such a looser he is. Not having any of this stuff figured out.
Funny thing ya know, he is actually planning on packing his bag and moving to Maui, planning on hiking, diving, surfing and enjoying his feet in the sand. Planning on reading books he loves, and just hanging out and embracing life as it comes to him, moment by moment.
The ONLY issue with this plan of his, is that is DOES NOT fit the societal norm of SUCCESS.
And how the hell can anyone be happy if they don’t have a college degree? or 100k in debt? or are not getting up five days a week working for the man?
There is no freaking’ way someone can be legitimately happy just living life without ALL that!
No instead of all that my son has decided that he will work in the food industry while he learns more about himself and life. While he discovers what his passion is. He has decided that he would make some small investments into crypto currency and learn about flipping properties. Although he does have a passion for art and could easily also look at becoming a tattoo artist if he desired as well. Maybe he will do all of it? Maybe he will do none?
What he does know is that the way the average minded person works hard, goes into debt and gives away their life is NOT what he wants.
He knows that although his passion is with the ocean and marine life that what he really wants to do would take him until he was 40 to get the position he wants and he most likely would end up settling somewhere along the line for something much less than his hearts desire because he “had too.” After all life happens and with it come responsibilities.
Then life becomes all about duty.
Duty to pay the bills.
Duty to take care of the house and car.
Duty to get up and go and make someone else rich.
Duty to be a good person.
Duty to get into a serious relationship.
Duty to make your spouse happy.
Duty, duty, duty!
And then you die!
That is it. That is all this whole existence is about. Doesn’t that sound wonderful. Yes, so I guess he had best have that life plan in order in the next 8 weeks, before life comes charging after him and making him surrender to it’s will of living without passion, without true love, without purpose and without happily ever after.
Yep he had best just stand up and be a man and do what all young men do. Make their parents proud by doing what they are told and getting into the right college and then the right job. The job that will suck the very life from his vein’s and make him wish Monday would never come again.
Well NOT MY KID!
Guess it is the curse of having a mom who parents like God. I will love him no matter what he chooses to do and I know for certain that he can do anything he puts his mind too. I also know for certain that the lie that we have all been told is just that: A LIE.
I know this because I thought it was truth and I beat myself up for many years not feeling worthy because I had not done what the world said I should do. Instead I ended up becoming a young mother, married early and struggling. It was not a shock as to why I was struggling. I had not followed the plan above. And then, then I started to paint the picture of the plan and follow it some and guess what?
I was still struggling.
I was still unhappy.
I had the job. The house. The husband. The car.
And the debt.
I was being a good citizen. A good friend, daughter, mother, and spouse.
So why was I not happy yet?
I was not living for me.
I was not being me.
I was FAKING it all!
Just Like you are. Yep I am calling you out on this RIGHT NOW. I bet that you are within the 85%-90% of the population that is faking their lives. I bet that you dread going to bed on Sunday and getting up on Monday. I bet that you live for the 5 o’clock hour. You live for weekends, vacations and holidays. I bet that you have your responsibilities taken care of and that you feel like a ATM machine for your kids and family. I bet that you wish you could do something else, but believe that you could never do it because it would not pay the bills.
Last thing you want is to be irresponsible.
I bet that even though you have that debt, that you are pretty comfortable with it because that debt is a sign that you went to school, got a degree and did it right. It is a sign that you bought the house and the car. It is a sign that you bought the furniture and have credit! Woohoo!!!! for credit.
It is a sign that you are a effing ADULT and your adulting the right way too, damn it!
But does this mean your happy?
Seriously, ask yourself this now.
Am I happy?
Well, are you?
I feel you. I feel that stomach ache. The tension in your neck and shoulders. The mild headache coming on and the fear and the desire for happiness.
Face it you were designed for more.
That is why your not happy with just settling for paying your bills and being responsible. You were designed for greatness!
The only thing STOPPING you from this greatness.
Yes, actually NO. That is the issue, you keep saying NO to yourself. You keep saying that you can’t, that your not worth it, that your not smart enough. That you should not want more. That it is stupid to want more. To be more.
The issue is that you BELIEVE the lie still and you are WAITING for happiness to come from this lie.
The TRUTH BABY is this, that if you want happiness, then you are going to have to CREATE it.
And it DOES NOT come from living a small life, where you have settled for the lie. No it comes from you EMBRACING who you are.
Embracing that you were born WORTHY.
Embracing that you are POWERFUL.
Embracing that it is NOT what you choose to do as a career, but who you choose to be as a person.
Embracing your joy.
Embracing your YES!
And consistently asking yourself, “What makes me happy?”
Consistently, seeking out new layers of yourself and being curious in life.
Buying the Bullsh*t Lie that we have all been told since we were small, buying into the pain, the suffering, the “worker bee” mentality of average and ordinary, will NEVER make you happy.
So when will you start to say YES to your dreams?
To your heart?
To your joy?
To your happiness?
When will you START to be a F*ck YES to the Most IMPORTANT person you know- YOU?
I hope you say that today is your lucky day.
Because I believe in you.
And so does God. | <urn:uuid:bf3d1944-df16-48c9-8fef-b9a767622132> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://kendalwilliams.com/the-lie-you-have-been-told-and-believe/ | 2023-09-28T16:45:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.984006 | 1,835 |

The sun has come back out again today which is very welcome. I have planted out the final vegetables in the garden and they are all netted and protected against the Kettins wildlife! Whether I am successful or not, time will tell. We had a good response to the Kettins Wee Store last week and it will run again next Monday at 10.00am outside the church hall. As well as the usual groceries there are lettuce, strawberries and some plants. This week we were donated a wooden plant planter – so looking for an owner for it. We are never sure what will appear each week.
Last Sunday would have been the Kettins Village Fete and the weather was really good. For many of you who have walked around the village, you will have noticed the new village community hall. Unfortunately lockdown has stopped all building work but we are hopeful of getting started again soon. Getting back to normal means the return of annual events like the Fete but also the monthly village lunches. Let’s hope we can welcome you all again to these activities soon.
As the lockdown reduces, then so will some of the support that is required. The Kettins Support Group will continue to support the people in the area while we are needed. So please get in contact if you need some support.
Where to buy local goods and food: This list has grown a life of its own! As we go forward and the shops begin to open up we are changing the information that we supply. It is almost impossible to keep up with the changing hours etc. A new signposting service will be coming soon and will be posted on the Kettins web pages so that they can be searched in the future.
One note this week is that the Eassie asparagus is finished for this year. So if you will have to wait until next year to enjoy it.
Hopefully we will see some of you at Kettins Church Hall on Monday.
Keep safe and we will send out more information as it becomes available | <urn:uuid:4168a7d5-8ffd-4635-910a-3551612fd98b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://kettins.org/thursday-11th-june-2020/ | 2023-09-28T18:22:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.975284 | 417 |

Pakistan has most recently revamped its labour and employment laws. This activity was spurred by a major amendment in the Constitution of Pakistan under which the four provinces of the country and the capital territory were empowered to separately legislate upon employment and labour issues. Subsequent enactments of provincial legislatures have resulted in a rapidly evolving legal landscape that the employers must be aware of at all times. Since each province has a separate employment law, a company with operations in several provinces needs to be cognizant of variations in laws across provinces.
Khan & Associates regularly advises clients on devising and managing labour and employment policies and practices to ensure that they fully comply with the complex web of federal laws and the current provincial labour and employment laws. The firm provides advice on the employment aspects of business transactions that involve massive reductions in workforce.
The firm regularly assists the clients in drafting sensitive management-level employment contracts with unique compensation packages, separation agreements and severance packages. The firm provides effective risk management advice to the clients and helps them resolve employment disputes without recourse to expensive and time-consuming litigation which may also entail reputational damages.
Our labour and employment practice team consists of lawyers who understand business considerations and intricacies and are fully equipped with superior advocacy skills, as well as in-depth knowledge and experience of local labour laws. Our team also conducts internal investigations on behalf of the clients of sexual harassment and discrimination complaints and allegations of misconduct | <urn:uuid:2f669970-926a-4036-a49f-8ea8b8f7d6a2> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://khanassociates.com.pk/labour-and-employment/ | 2023-09-28T18:41:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.961697 | 284 |

VRMedia recently got certified IS0/IEC 27001, the standard internationally recognised best practice framework for an Information Security Management System (ISMS).
As requirements for data protection toughen, ISO/IEC 27001 can help managing its privacy risks with confidence. Keeping sensitive company information and personal data safe and secure is not only essential for any business but a legal imperative as security of information turns out more and more as a top priority.
In VRMedia we take information security seriously and with ISO/IEC 27001 certification our company can be internationally trusted in its valuable information assets in Information Security Management. The growing of cyber and other crime as well as new regulations such as the GDPR make it a requirement to protect company and personal data: security of information should be a top priority for any organisation.
ISO/IEC 27001 certification is not only about the technical measures we put in place, it’s about ensuring the business controls and the management process we have in place are adequate and proportionate for the information security threats and opportunities identified. To obtain ISO/IEC 27001 certification, VRMedia has put in place the people, processes, systems and tools for an internationally recognised standard in Information Management demonstrating our business-led approach to the information security management process.

The central objective of the changes to the DBA 2015 is to remove tax barriers and create a more favourable investment environment between Australia and Germany. A reduction in withholding taxes in certain circumstances will reduce investment and trade costs between the two countries and promote the further growth of trade relations. Strengthening economic ties with Germany will not only allow Australia to strategically access the European market, but also reduce its dependence on the Chinese economy. 1 Australia`s income tax agreements are brought into force by the International Tax Agreements Act 1953. The Agreement between the Australian Bureau of Trade and Industry and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office on the Prevention of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Tax Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Income is one less document of the contractual status adopted as Schedule 1 of the International Tax Agreements Act 1953. The new double taxation agreement between Australia and Germany has entered into force. According to the 1972 DBA, the country of origin can withhold up to 10% of the value of interest payments made between Australia and Germany. According to the 1972 DBA, the country of origin can levy a withholding tax rate of 10% on licence payments between Australia and Germany. The 2015 DBA lowers this rate to 5%. When a resident Australian company pays dividends, interest or royalties to a foreign company, it is generally required to pay on overseas payments (and vice versa) withheld at source, i.e. the income tax payable.1 Withholding tax rates are 30% on dividends and royalties and 10% on interest.2 These rates are reduced by DTAs between Australia and a number of country.
including Germany. Irrespective of the above, the exemption from interest offsetting tax provided for in the 2015 DBA recognises that the 10% tax rate may be excessive given the financing costs of certain types of businesses. This will reduce investment costs between Australia and Germany and support the further growth of trade relations between the two countries. The 2015 DBA provides for derogations from this withholding tax for interest payments if the interest is derived from: the new DBA will apply to investors and companies carrying out cross-border transactions. It will also affect multinationals with branches or assets in Australia and Germany. First, the new DBA reduces withholding tax on royalties, certain types of interest and dividends from the home country. The new maximum rates are as follows: the withholding tax rate for dividends under the 1972 DBA is 15%. It must normally be paid after receipt of an unvalued dividend paid by a company established in Australia to a shareholder established in Germany (free dividends paid by a company established in Australia are not subject to withholding tax).
This shows the continued commitment of both countries to oppose international tax evasion practices. Many of the amendments discussed above implement the recommendations of the OECD/G20 Final Report on Profit Reduction and Profit Shifting (BEPS Report). 4 The tax administrations of some Australian contractors have agreed to draft consolidated texts to help the public better understand the impact of the MLI. . . . | <urn:uuid:859532fe-3f8d-495e-9825-a52c31b3a18e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://kinder.info-vergleiche.de/tax-agreement-between-australia-and-germany/ | 2023-09-28T18:44:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.951927 | 604 |
Word is Out: Stories of Some of Our Lives
Directed by Peter Adair, Nancy Adair, Andrew Brown, Rob Epstein, Lucy Massie Phenix, Veronica Selver
In 1978, this documentary startled audiences across the country for presenting lesbian and gay identities through a genuinely queer lens. Oscar-winning filmmaker Rob Epstein joined with Nancy Adair and Andrew Brown to interview dozens of gay men and women about their lives, coming out, and living well in their time. In honor of its place in history, WORD IS OUT was selected for the Legacy Project for GLBT Film Preservation by Outfest and the UCLA Film & Television Archive, and has been remastered and restored for its latest anniversary. | <urn:uuid:c12d6f91-e719-47f8-9c81-0e7a7c5ae0d1> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://kinolorberedu.com/film/word-is-out-stories-of-some-of-our-lives-dvd | 2023-09-28T17:54:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.950905 | 142 |
Time to ditch your annoying old faucet!
What is the worst part of having an old kitchen faucet? My guess is that you won’t have very much trouble answering this question. It may be that a perpetual dripping sound is driving you around the bend, or it could be that the old faucet is rusty and impossible to keep clean and stain-free.
Maybe it takes you forever to fill your pots with water because there isn’t as much flow and pressure as there should be. Or maybe it just looks terrible.
So clearly there isn’t just one annoying problem with old kitchen faucets, but quite a number. The problem is that so many things can go wrong with a faucet, and depending how old the faucet in your kitchen is, you may have any or all of these problems.
Lack of features in old faucets can get you down, too. If you’ve just moved to a new house, you may not have thought much about what your faucet can do until you had to use an outdated one that seems to have been installed half a century ago. It gives you either hot or cold running water, and you can use it to fill pans or the sink, and that’s about it.
The good news is that you don’t have to keep putting up with your old faucet. Why not take a look at the Kraus KPF-2110 single lever pull-out kitchen faucet? You may never have heard of the Kraus brand before, because they’re not very well known. However, I decided to review this faucet on this site because I find it to be among the most convenient and most attractive kitchen faucets on the market.
Here are some of the reasons I like this product so much.
Firstly, this kitchen faucet is constructed from 100 percent solid stainless steel. If you’re currently dealing with rust, you won’t have to worry about that with this model. The stainless steel on this faucet won’t discolor or corrode, so it’ll look just like new each time it’s cleaned.
The faucet has two flow settings: spray and normal. There is a 28-inch braided nylon spray hose you can pull out. To use it, just push a rubber button found on the upper side of the spout, and press this same button again to return the hose to its resting position when you’re finished using it. Just remember that you’ll need to press the button again to use the faucet normally.
Some people have commented that the spray hose is a bit heavy. The good news is that this hose is heavy because it is durable, but you should be careful using it when you have fragile dishes in your sink. Another point to be aware of is that the rate of flow may be fine for using the faucet normally, but too high when you use the spray. Remember to turn down the flow before switching to spray, and you’ll avoid getting soaked and having puddles all over your kitchen.
As you can tell from the name, this faucet operates with one single lever. The spout features a full 180 degrees of swivel, making it very convenient to use. One of the best features of this model is its drip free sedal ceramic cartridge, ensuring that the faucet will have a long leak-free life!
Style is a big priority for many people, which I think is understandable. As I mentioned above, the faucet is made of stainless steel, giving it a neutral color that will work with any style of kitchen décor. It has a modern, sleek silhouette that looks great in any home.
Some Final Thoughts
I have one small quibble with this model, and it has to do with the installation process. The manual uses pictures only (no words) which can be confusing. The good news is that everything you’ll need for installation is inside the box, and all the little parts come safely packaged into small felt bags.
The manufacturer offers a lifetime limited warranty, and this model has been given many certificates – far too many to list here! To get more information about this kitchen faucet, take a look at it on Amazon. Recently I saw that it was even available with gift wrapping!

A choil is an unsharpened indent at the end of a knife’s edge nearer to the handle.
The purpose of sharpening a choil is to allow for consistent sharpening, This makes easy and effective knife maintenance by allowing you to sharpen all way up through heel level on your blades, which can save time when doing so in between cuts.
If the choil is not sharpened, it can be extremely difficult to sharpen the base of the cutting edge fully, making the knife less precise when it comes to chopping items.
What’s the Purpose of a Sharpening Choil?
Choils are ergonomic instructions that force the user to hold the knife in a certain position. If your hands don’t fit inside the choil, you’re out of luck. A knife with no choil can have more ‘neutral’ ergonomics, allowing for various grips.
On the other hand, a finger choil is a section of unsharpened metal that protects your finger from being sliced if your folding knife mistakenly shuts.
The sharpening choil is a tiny notch milled into the knife’s edge where the sharpened and unsharpened metals meet. Before hardening, it’s normally drilled into the knife blank, although it can alternatively be ground in with a chainsaw or round file.
A knife’s plunge line and bevel may begin to appear a little wrong after a lot of use and constant sharpening. The sharpening choil eliminates the piece of metal where this would begin and creates a clear sharpening line. A sharpening choil or notch has the problem of snagging on the material you’re cutting, such as rope.
Is a sharpening choil necessary?
No – however, it would be a good idea for knives intended for long-term usage.
Is It Required To Use a Sharpening Choil?
On the other hand, a sharpening choil is considerably smaller than a finger choil. It’s made to allow for constant sharpening all the way to the cutting edge’s very end. It might be difficult to thoroughly sharpen the cutting edge base where it meets the unsharpened ricasso without a sharpening choil.
What Exactly Is the Purpose of a Choil?
An unsharpened depression on a blade that meets the handle or the plunge line is known as a choil. The role of a choil is determined by its size; if it is large, it can be utilized as a front finger grip. If the choil is modest, it may be present to create a stopping point while sharpening to protect the handle.
There may not have been sufficient room in the choil for a finger. Its major function is to make the edge of a pocketknife and the end of the edge on other knives be sharpened all the way to the tang. The choil and the finger space, and even the choil and the handle, are not comparable.
Blackie Collins, a Blade Magazine Cutlery Hall of Fame member, defined a knife choil as “the region just in front of the guard at the bottom of the blade” in an older version of the American Blade, today’s BLADE Magazine.
It is sometimes fashioned to receive the index finger to provide a more stable grip on specific types of blades during certain tasks. It serves a more practical role because it permits the cutting edge to be honed over its whole length.
Although a knife choil may have enough room to accommodate a finger for some cutting activities, this is not the choil’s declared function. A finger choil is a term used to describe such a feature in some cases. Such a reference is “improper,” according to Russell’s definition.
In truth, what is frequently mistakenly called a finger choil is really a finger groove that runs along the undersides of both the handle and the ricasso or blade tang. Meanwhile, several modern manufacturing knives appear to be minimizing, if not completely removing, knife choil.
How Do You Sharpen a Choil or Blade of a Knife?
One can sharpen a knife either manually or electrically. A manual knife sharpener, also called a “pull-through sharpener,” has two core components: a firm grit to sharpen the blade and a fine grit to polish.
An electric knife sharpener can also be used.
This can be done by pulling the knife through the slot smoothly and slowly, allowing the motorized abrasives to do most of the work. This process needs to be repeated up to 3 or 6 times. This will sharpen the knife precisely, allowing the person to have expert knife skills.
Testing if the Knife Is Sharp
There are a few tests that one can conduct to figure out whether their knife needs to be further sharpened or not. These include a paper test that is as simple as the name suggests. A sharp knife should be able to cut through a piece of paper pretty easily.
The next test is a tomato test. Tomatoes normally have a tougher outer layer and a very soft interior.
Therefore, a blunt knife will squish the inside of the tomato before breaking the skin, whereas a sharp knife will do the opposite. There is also an onion test, which consists of cutting the outer layer of an onion. A blunt or a duller knife will not be able to cut through the vegetable.
There are a few precautions one must take while sharpening a knife or any sharp object. These include not exposing your fingers to the blade and wearing kitchen gloves for protection.
After sharpening the knife, one must remove any lingering steel shavings by using a towel or a wet cloth to avoid any sharp objects lying around.
These will ensure that the individual does not carelessly injure him or herself. Reduce the discomfort of small stone spaces and limited bevel space by adding a sharpening choil to your blade.
This will minimize tight plunge line circumstances, resulting in unattractive bevel begins on blades that are difficult to sharpen. Please select a size after measuring your blade to see which is the greatest fit for your needs.
In conclusion, the purpose of sharpening a choil is to have superior knife skills and ensure that the blade one is using can do the job precisely and efficiently. | <urn:uuid:ddf4cd34-b946-4c89-bf6d-86ad58ec2dba> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://knifehero.com/whats-the-purpose-of-a-sharpening-choil-explained/ | 2023-09-28T18:33:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.930927 | 1,326 |
Police violence in the United States is systemic, and reflective of a history of policing founded in, and sustained by, a white supremacist system designed to control Black and brown bodies. In Los Angeles County, the two largest law enforcement agencies, the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department and the Los Angeles Police Department, regularly lead all other US law enforcement agencies in the killing of residents. This apparent impunity is exacerbated by the fact that police officers across Los Angeles County, much like the rest of the country, are never held accountable for murder. Any investigations are conducted in secret, performed internally by the agency responsible for the death, and simply serve to justify the officer’s conduct. Oversight of the investigative process is flawed in that the commissions set up to do that work either have no real power to independently investigate, or, like the Los Angeles Police Commission, act more as a rubber stamp approval body than an actual oversight commission. Despite the inevitable outcomes of these secretive investigations, the office of the District Attorney still has the power to charge officers in these killings.
On October 25th 2017, a group of community members led by Black Lives Matter — Los Angeles, as well as the families of several people killed by Los Angeles County law enforcement, attempted to deliver a petition with over 10,000 signatures to the office of Los Angeles District Attorney Jackie Lacey demanding she prosecute police officers who kill. Sheriff’s deputies refused to allow the group access to the public building where Lacey’s office is located to deliver the petition that day. Every week since, an action has taken place, led by families impacted by police violence, BLM-LA, and other allied social justice organizations demanding that Lacey prosecute police officers who kill, or that she resign.
This Wednesday, October 24th, will mark one year of weekly protest outside Lacey’s office at the inappropriately named Hall of “Justice” at 211 W. Temple Street in downtown Los Angeles. Every week, a few hours before community members arrive, the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department, whose headquarters are in the same building, surrounds the entrances with metal barricades, chaining and locking them together, threatening to arrest any member of the public who attempts to enter this public building.
As of today, at least 420 people across LA County have been killed by law enforcement since DA Lacey took office in December 2012. Commonly referred to as “The People” in court proceedings, Lacey has refused to actually advocate on their behalf.
– Kisha Michael and Marquintan Sandlin, 31 and 32 years old respectively, shot and killed while asleep in their car by five Inglewood police officers in February 2016. Kisha was shot 13 times, and Marquintan 8 times. Witnesses reported up to 100 shots were fired. In May 2017, due to pressure brought on by the families, BLM-LA, and White People 4 Black Lives, the 5 officers were fired from the Inglewood police department, but Lacey still hasn’t filed charges against them.
– Eric Rivera, 20 years old, shot 7 times and run over by LAPD officers Arturo Urrutia and Daniel Ramirez while walking down the street in June 2017. Within 7 seconds of spotting Eric from their vehicle, they were shooting him. They said they believed Eric’s neon green water gun was semi-automatic pistol. The officers were back to work within days.
– AJ Weber, 16 years old, shot 3 times point blank in the back by LA Sheriffs deputies on Super Bowl Sunday this year in the courtyard of the apartment complex where he lived. AJ was the father of a newborn girl named Violet.
– Wakiesha Wilson, 36 years old, died in an LAPD jail in March 2016. Ruled a suicide, her body was found in the middle of a cell, several feet away from the 11 inch phone cord authorities inexplicably claimed she hanged herself with. She had told her mother she would see her at her court date, but when she didn’t show, her mother called the jail over and over asking where Wakiesha was. After 5 days, they finally gave her a number to call; the coroner. 22 minutes of video from Wakiesha’s cell are still missing.
– Brendon Glenn, 29 years old, unhoused and living in Venice, was shot and killed by LAPD Officer Clifford Proctor, who claimed Brendon reached for his partner’s gun in 2015. LAPD Chief Beck and the LA Police Commission actually recommended Lacey press charges in this case, and she still declined to do so.
– John Horton, 21 years old, was beaten to death in Men’s Central Jail in March 2009 by 5 LA Sheriff’s deputies. Initially ruled a suicide, John had a ruptured liver, ruptured spleen, a dent in his forehead in the shape of a flashlight, among many other injuries. His mother Helen fought the suicide ruling for years, and finally the Coroner’s office changed it to “deferred.” Despite being killed almost 10 years ago, John’s file still sits on DA Lacey’s desk.
– Jesse Romero, 14 years old, ran from LAPD Officer Eden Medina after being caught tagging in Boyle Heights. After being chased for a couple blocks, Medina shot Jesse in the back, killing him. 12 days earlier, Medina had shot and killed Omar Gonzalez. Today he works at LAPD Olympic Division.
– Cesar Rodriguez, 23 years old, allegedly didn’t pay $1.75 fare at the Wardlow Blue Line Metro station in Long Beach. Two officers from the Long Beach Police Department approached him, and ended up pushing him in front of an oncoming train in August 2017. There is video.
These are only a few of the 420 people who have been killed at the hands of police officers across the county that Lacey refuses to prosecute. Brendon Glenn was killed near the corner of Windward/Pacific in Venice, about an hour after a group I volunteer with, the Culver-Palms Burrito Project, was there handing out burritos to unhoused folks. We wonder to this day if Brendon was one of the many folks we chatted with that night, but we’ll never know. Kisha’s twin sister, Cesar’s sister and mother, Jesse’s parents, John’s mother, Wakiesha’s mother and aunt, as well as Eric’s mother, father, and 4 younger brothers are people I now consider friends. It’s heartbreaking, but incredibly inspiring to witness the strength of these families, coming out every week to tell their stories over and over, reliving their trauma in order to raise awareness that DA Lacey continues to refuse to do her job.
In a few weeks, those of us who are able will be in our voting booths. While voting is incredibly important, and we need to and must vote people in and out of office, it’s also our collective responsibility to put pressure on our elected officials in order to hold them accountable. Attending a protest action at 4PM on a weekday is difficult, especially if your job is 9 to 5. But, if you’re able to make that time, please come out on Wednesday, and share with your friends and family. Led by families, as well as Black Lives Matter — LA, communities most impacted by police violence continue to show up and have sustained this campaign for a year. The fight to hold murderous police accountable and end state violence is just one piece of the larger fight against a white supremacist system that disproportionately impacts Black, brown and poor folks in this city and across the country. However, it is a system that harms all of us, and it is a system that we all must collectively fight to dismantle. Our collective voices and presence send a powerful message.
The Hall of “Justice,” at 211 W. Temple St., is close to the Grand Park Metro stop; there are many buses that stop right out front at Temple/Spring, and there is $3-$6 parking at 101 Judge John Aiso St.
As a member of White People 4 Black Lives, I encourage well-intentioned white folks to also show up to our monthly meeting every second Sunday of the month and to show up to AWARE-LA Saturday Dialogue, to chat with other white folks about race and privilege, every 1st Saturday on the westside and 3rd Saturday on the eastside.

According to new research from Wake Forest University School of Medicine and Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, a daily multivitamin supplement may improve cognition in older adults.
However, additional studies are needed to confirm these findings before any health recommendations are made.
The study, recently published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia, also found that daily use of a cocoa extract supplement does not benefit cognition.
Alzheimer’s disease affects over 6.5 million Americans, with one in three seniors dying with the disease or another form of dementia.
“There’s an urgent need for safe and affordable interventions to protect cognition against decline in older adults,” said Laura D. Baker, Ph.D., professor of gerontology and geriatric medicine at Wake Forest University School of Medicine.
The COSMOS-Mind Study
The COcoa Supplement and Multivitamin Outcomes Study for the Mind (COSMOS-Mind) was a subsidiary study to the COSMOS trial led by Brigham and Women’s Hospital.
It involved 21,442 men and women from across the U.S., investigating whether taking a daily cocoa extract supplement or a daily multivitamin-mineral supplement reduces the risk of developing heart disease, stroke, cancer, and other health outcomes.
Cocoa extract, rich in compounds called flavanols, has been suggested in past research to positively impact cognition.
Micronutrients and minerals, which are crucial for normal body and brain function, may have a deficiency in older adults, increasing the risk for cognitive decline and dementia.
In COSMOS-Mind, researchers tested whether daily administration of cocoa extract versus placebo and a multivitamin-mineral versus placebo improved cognition in older adults.
Over 2,200 participants aged 65 and older enrolled and were followed for three years, with annual tests evaluating memory and other cognitive abilities.
The study found that while cocoa extract had no impact on cognition, daily multivitamin-mineral supplementation resulted in statistically significant cognitive improvement.
“This is the first evidence of cognitive benefit in a large longer-term study of multivitamin supplementation in older adults,” Baker said.
Researchers estimated that three years of multivitamin supplementation equated to roughly a 60% slowing of cognitive decline (about 1.8 years).
The benefits were relatively more pronounced in participants with significant cardiovascular disease, already at an increased risk for cognitive impairment and decline.
However, it is too early to recommend daily multivitamin supplementation to prevent cognitive decline.
“While these preliminary findings are promising, additional research is needed in a larger and more diverse group of people.
Also, we still have work to do to better understand why the multivitamin might benefit cognition in older adults,” Baker concluded.
If you care about nutrition, please read studies about how the Mediterranean diet could protect your brain health, and the best time to take vitamins to prevent heart disease.
For more information about health, please see recent studies about plant nutrients that could help reduce high blood pressure, and these antioxidants could help reduce dementia risk.
The study was published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia.

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States, despite traditional treatments targeting risk factors like diabetes, blood pressure, and cholesterol.
However, a recent study from the University of Michigan has identified a protein called soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) that could be responsible for both atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) and kidney disease.
This discovery opens up new possibilities for developing treatments that target suPAR.
Understanding the Role of suPAR
SuPAR is a protein produced by the bone marrow that acts as a regulator for the immune system, functioning as an “immunostat.”
Previous research has identified suPAR as a marker of cardiovascular disease, but this study is the first to demonstrate that high levels of suPAR actually contribute to the development of atherosclerosis.
Study Findings and Genetic Analysis
The research team analyzed data from over 5,000 individuals without known heart disease and found that those with elevated suPAR levels were more susceptible to developing atherosclerosis and experiencing cardiovascular events, regardless of their existing risk factors.
Additionally, a genetic study involving 24,000 participants revealed a specific variant in the PLAUR gene, responsible for coding suPAR, which was associated with higher suPAR levels.
Association with Atherosclerosis and Kidney Disease
In further analyses, the team found that the identified genetic variant in PLAUR was linked to atherosclerosis in a large cohort study.
In mouse models with elevated suPAR levels, researchers observed a significant increase in atherosclerotic plaques in the mouse aortas compared to mice with normal suPAR levels.
The study also uncovered suPAR as a contributing factor to kidney disease, a condition affecting a significant proportion of the population.
Potential for New Treatments
The identification of suPAR as a causative factor for both atherosclerosis and kidney disease opens up new possibilities for developing targeted treatments.
Current therapies for atherosclerosis do not impact suPAR levels, making it an important focus for future interventions.
The research team aims to develop treatments that can safely reduce suPAR levels to prevent and treat heart disease, considering its significant impact on global health.
The discovery of suPAR as a protein involved in the development of atherosclerosis and kidney disease provides valuable insights for potential treatments.
By understanding the role of suPAR and its genetic variants, researchers can work towards developing therapies that target suPAR levels to prevent and treat heart disease.
This discovery has the potential to improve the health outcomes of individuals affected by heart disease and kidney disease, addressing two interconnected conditions that significantly impact global health.
If you care about heart health, please read studies about the best time to take vitamins to prevent heart disease and calcium supplements could harm your heart health.
