Lottery is a form of gambling where people purchase tickets for a chance to win a prize. Some prizes are cash while others are goods or services. This is a form of legalized gambling that is conducted by state governments. It has a long history and is widely used in the United States. Some of the prizes are offered to the general public while others are restricted to certain groups. The lottery is also used for other purposes, such as awarding housing units in a subsidized housing project or kindergarten placements.
While lottery is not considered a game of skill, there are many strategies that can increase your chances of winning. These strategies are based on mathematics and probability theory. They can help you make better decisions about which numbers to select and how many tickets to buy. The goal is to make sure that you are selecting the right combination of numbers, which will give you the best chance of winning. This is why it is important to avoid superstitions, hot and cold numbers, and quick picks. Instead, you should focus on choosing the best numbers based on mathematical calculations. This can be done by using a Lotterycodex calculator.
The first modern lotteries appeared in Europe in the 1500s. They were often used to raise money for the poor or for fortifications. Lotteries were also popular in the United States during the Revolutionary War, when the Continental Congress needed to fund a variety of projects. They were a popular alternative to taxes, which were not always welcome.
Although some people have made a living by playing the lottery, it is important to remember that it is a gamble. You can lose a lot of money and even ruin your life in the process. It is important to know the rules and to be prepared for any outcome. It is also important to be able to control your spending habits and not spend all of your money on lottery tickets.
Many people have the inextricable human impulse to gamble, but it is important to understand that there are many reasons why you should not. There is also the fact that the odds of winning the lottery are extremely low, and it is unlikely that you will ever win a substantial sum of money. In most cases, you will be more likely to get struck by lightning or die in a car accident than win the lottery.
The idea behind the lottery is to offer something of value to a large number of people, but there are some important differences between it and other forms of gambling. The main difference is that it is a legally sanctioned activity, and there is a requirement to pay some consideration for the chance to win. This is why there are so many different types of lotteries, from the state-run Staatsloterij to charitable fundraisers and even dinner parties. The practice of distributing property and slaves by lot dates back to ancient times. The Old Testament instructed Moses to take a census and divide land among the people by lot, and Roman emperors used lots to give away property and slaves at Saturnalian feasts. | <urn:uuid:be3870a0-53cf-4fa6-bf80-ccc854c27c52> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://stanmyerslaw.com/lottery-codex-how-to-increase-your-chances-of-winning-the-lottery/ | 2023-09-28T17:59:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.978796 | 605 |
The Star Army
Main Article: Star Army of Yamatai
Main Article: Star Army of Yamatai
A descendant of the Mindy family, the Mindy Ke-M2-1H is a Star Army of Yamatai team fire support power armor designed by Ketsurui Fleet Yards in YE 29 to complement the Mindy 2. Its key features include two rapid-fire heavy beam cannons mounted on its backpack area, and two small anti-missile turrets mounted on its shoulders. It also boasts a superior communications and ECM suite than previous Mindy models, a response to growing competition from Nepleslian armors.
Artwork by Newton Ewell.
The Mindy armor is just slightly larger than the average Yamataian, allowing it to fit in almost any place conventional infantry soldier might. The armor's small size allows for starship to store large numbers of them without the need for special storage areas (although most Star Army of Yamatai ships have dedicated power armor storage and maintenance areas anyway).
The given height does not include the rapid fire heavy cannons.
The Mindy 1H uses a Combined Field System for its primary means of propulsion, allowing it to travel at speeds up to ten times the speed of light. In an atmosphere, the Mindy can travel Mach 1.7 at Earth sea level. Through use of their Combined Field System, Mindy armors are able to ignore gravity and inertial forces; they can hover, instantly stop or shift direction, and even increase and decrease their weight; they can walk up walls, on ceilings, across water, and in midair. The Mindy can also operate underwater.
The Mindy 1H is designed specifically for the NH-29; pilots must be between 145cm (4' 9”) and 170cm (5' 6“) and be able to use the SPINE interface system. The Mindy's insides are composed of muscular flesh that is warm, soft, slimy, stretchy, and wrinkly; it includes a sophisticated Hemosynthetics (bloodborne iron-based femtomachine) system that can repair damage to the muscular system as well as the pilot. The flesh primarily provides augmented strength and shock absorption.
To enter the Mindy armor, a neko first takes off any clothing she is wearing, followed by removing the armor's helmet; the armor will recognize its operator and open its torso, revealing its fleshy interior. The chest and abdomen armor splits open along the armor's centerline. The pilot would then back into her armor, putting each foot in. The armor automatically creates a suction that will engulf the pilot's legs and pull her inside. Once the pilot is in position, the armor will close around her and she may retrieve her helmet and put it on. The Mindy can be operated without its helmet, but the pilot will not be able to use most sensor and communication devices without it on.
Piloting the Mindy 1H is done through SPINE. All NH-29 can instinctively operate the Mindy armor; it is natural to them. Mindy piloting is also part of standard Star Army Training for Nekovalkyrja. Basic operation of the Mindy armor is simple, and is augmented by the armor's on-board computer, which will help out when (and only when) it is needed or requested.
The fleshy core of the Mindy houses the life support systems, which include the hemosynthetics system, a rebreather system, an oxygen supply, and a nutrient-enriched (sterile) water supply. The Mindy can support a pilot for up to 15 days before replenishment is needed, or up to 10 years in stasis. If needed, the Mindy can filter outside air to replenish its supply (not usually done until absolutely necessary, though).
The Mindy's interior includes a catheter organ that wriggles its way into the pilot's urethra and bladder, keeping the pilots from having to exit the suit to urinate. Pilots receive oxygen through the skin. The interior flesh will also massage the pilot's body from time to time to encourage blood flow and provide increased comfort, or to provide pleasurable stimulation.
Armors can still function without their limbs so long as their cores and engines are intact, although this would mean loss of limbs for the pilot.
Mindy 1H armors have a new armor package that differs from previous Mindy models:
Although NH-29 generally have only three fingers, the Mindy 1H's hands have four; this allows it to support NH-29H (human style) pilots.
The Mindy 1H is impoved primarily in the areas of firepower and electronic countermeasures; it features new heavy cannons and a more powerful aether generator system to operate them.
The Mindy 1H has an outer armor composed of Fullerite-coated Zesuaium plates, which are layered over a mesh of chain mail and a titanium alloy chassis layer. The Mindy's armor is immune to small arms fire, provides excellent resistance to mounted weapons, good resistance to light starship weaponry, and poor resistance to heavy starship weaponry such as main guns and anti-matter; it is most armored on the torso, shoulders, abdomen, and thighs. This armor also shields the interior from heat and radiation, protecting the pilot from the rigors of space travel and atmospheric reentry. As with all armors, it protectiveness can be bypassed through the use of excessive kinetic force such as that of a large railgun or being “glomped” by an obese fanboy.
See Damage Rating (Version 3) for an explanation of the damage system.
The Mindy 1H uses the Armor Integrated Electronics System (AIES), which includes sensors, communications, and computing systems rolled into a standardized package. The system runs a special power-armor-oriented flavor of the Kessaku Military Operating System created by Kessaku Systems for use within the PANTHEON network. Through networking, the Mindy's sensor input is augmented by that of nearby friendly forces.
Its sensors include:
The armor can communicate via:
The Mindy 1H also features a state-of-the art jamming array not found on any other Mindy model, capable of blocking both conventional and subspace FTL communications, as well as blotting out sensors by dispensing a cloud of charged particles.
The Mindy 1H packs a large amount of firepower for its size, even for a Mindy armor. Its primary weapons are its large rapid-fire beam cannons, which can deliver a constant barrage of powerful blasts.
Mindy 1H armors are equipped with:
The beam cannons are stored in an upright position; when needed, the beams quickly swing backwards and around so that they swing up beneath the armor's armpits, facing forward at about waist level. A handgrip pops up from each cannon. The beam cannons fire quite rapidly and are very powerful; they draw power directly from the power armor's upsized aether tap. Hardly anything can stand up to them for more than a moment (comparable to the Aether Gatling Rifle).

Gutshot: The Intuitive Photography of Jay King and Lee Balterman
GUTSHOT pairs two lifelong photographers born and raised in Chicago.
Although Jay King (born 1944) and Lee Balterman (born 1920) each had a career in the editorial / commercial world, the heart and soul of their artistic achievements lie mainly in the images they created on their own, pictures they couldn’t not make. That work (covering a sixty year period) is largely concerned with responding to the people they encountered in public- from the lakefront and the Art Institute to Clark Street bars to Riverview Park and the surrounding neighborhoods. They recorded fans and players from the Coliseum to Comiskey Park to Wrigley Field and riders on the elevated and subways between. The majority of the more than fifty vintage silver prints is at once a tribute to the city in particular and to our common bond with people everywhere. | <urn:uuid:a7605534-970b-4121-8a75-541de486386c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://stephendaitergallery.com/exhibitions/gutshot-the-intuitive-photography-of-jay-king-and-lee-balterman/ | 2023-09-28T18:12:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.966782 | 188 |

Stock Chiller Containers
The Stock Chiller Containers are specifically designed to be used with the stock chiller units. The hot food product is poured into the containers, sealed, chilled, labeled, and placed into cold storage. This process will ensure that the most sanitary measures are being taken with your food. The food can then be re-thermalized inside the container via a steam bath or induction heater and served right from the container. In fact, if the same container is used to serve the hot food when needed, you eliminate the use of a secondary stock pot, which will decrease cost. See our production cost analysis page.
Stock Chiller Containers are available in two sizes; 2 Gallon and 5 Gallon.
- Completely NSF 169 compliant construction
- Durable 304 Stainless Steel body and lid top
- Threaded lid with a sealing gasket for an airtight seal
- Folding handle for easy transport and compact storage
- Interlocking base and lid system for stacking
- Compatibility with most commercial dishwashers
Reusable Containers that are made of durable 304 stainless steel with food grade polypropylene and a food grade silicone gasket. The containers become your storage and transport system, which will help reduce production costs. The containers can also be used to dispense the hot food product.
Eliminate the need to continually spend money on bags. The containers will easily pay for themselves in time. Use our production cost calculator to review your costs. Go Green with reusable and recyclable stainless steel containers. Disposable plastic bags harm our planet.
The five gallon containers weigh about 46 lbs when completely filled, which meets the 50 lb safety threshold. If this weight is still too much, less product can be put inside each container, or use the 2 Gallon containers. Daily throughput of your food product should be used to determine the appropriate container size and fill level.
The containers are designed to easily stack and store, and come with a built in handle for easy transport. It is not recommended to stack containers more than four high.
Both the 2 and 5 gallon containers can fit into most commercial dishwashers. See Product Specifications

The U.S. Space Force traces its roots to the beginning of the Cold War, with the first Army Air Forces space programs starting in 1945. In 1954, the Western Development Division, under General Bernard Schriever, was established as the first dedicated space organization within the U.S. Armed Forces and continues to exist as the Space Force’s Space and Missile Systems Center. Military space forces were organized under several different Air Force major commands until they were unified when Air Force Space Command was established on 1 September 1982. U.S. space forces first began conducting combat support operations in the Vietnam War and continued to provide satellite communications, weather, and navigation support during the 1982 Falklands War, 1983 United States invasion of Grenada, 1986 United States bombing of Libya, and 1989 United States invasion of Panama. The first major employment of space forces culminated in the Gulf War, where they proved so critical to the U.S.-led coalition, that it is sometimes referred to as the first “space war”.
Space Operations Command is the United States Space Force’s first field command and is commanded by a lieutenant general. The current commanding officer is Lt Gen Stephen N. Whiting. SpOC was established on 21 October 2020 by redesignating Headquarters United States Space Force, which had been redesignated from Headquarters Air Force Space Command on 20 December 2019 when the Space Force was established. SpOC is primarily responsible for space operations, cyber operations, intelligence operations, and the administration of SpOC bases, and serves as the Space Force service component to United States Space Command. It is responsible for 8 space mission deltas and two garrisons.
Dark blue and white combine to represent the vast recesses of outer space. The Delta Wing evokes historic ties to the earliest days of the U.S. Air Force space community, and symbolizes change and innovation. It also represents all variations of space vehicles that support our National Defense Strategy and National Security Space Strategy. Dark and light shades of grey within the delta embody the 24/7 operations of the Space Force, while the placement and upward orientation of the delta reveals the central role of the Space Force in defending the space domain. The Globe represents the terrestrial home of the U.S. Space Force and it’s support to the joint warfighters. The Elliptical Orbit signifies defense and protection from all adversaries and threats emanating from the space domain. It also represents ongoing interagency cooperation and allied partnerships. The white Polaris symbolizes the guiding light of security and alludes to a constant presence and vigilance in space now and in the future. Two clusters of small stars represent the space assets developed, maintained, and operated by the U.S. Space Force. The three larger stars symbolize the Organize, Train, and Equip functions of the Space Force.

We’re so excited for you to try our Mountain Water Process (MWP) Decaf. This new way of processing decaf is chemical free, unlike many other methods used to make decaf. We think you’ll enjoy the story of this coffee and how it reached your cup.
Who grew this coffee?
Our San Cristóbal de las Casas & Yajalón Single Origin Decaf comes from smallholder producers who deliver to the San Cristobal de las Casas and Yajalón in Northern Chiapas. For decades, this region has been at the epicenter of political an ethnic conflicts. The Zapatista movement prevented any large coffee farms from coming into existence due to their demands for indigeonnous rights and land access. Consequently, coffee has been cultivated mainly by small to micro - holders, often descendents of indigenous tribes. They generally produce micro lots between 10-15 bags. To help ensure economic transparency in such small yet complex supply chains, InterAmerican works closely with local communities to bridge any gaps that tear at the seams of traceability required lineage.
About this coffee
Our Mexico San Cristóbal de las Casas & Yajalón Single Origin Decaf is an exceptional fully washed coffee. This region is known for producing large beans that create a balanced cup with a smooth body and ideal medium sweet acidity. We roasted it as a Medium Roast to express its unique flavors of lavender, waffle cone, and creamy pecans. This coffee comes from the Chiapas region of Mexico, N16 degrees, 30’ 0’W92 degrees, 30’ 0’ between 900-100m elevation. These Bourbon, Caturra, Typica, and Catuai varietals grow in a volcanic, loamy soil. You can verify this coffee here.
What is the Mountain Water Decaf process?
This coffee is decaffeinated in Mexico using a unique method called Mountain Water Process (MWP). MWP is a method of indirect decaffeination. In this process, pure water from Pico de Orizaba - the highest mountain in Mexico, undergoes a chemical analysis to determine optimal conditions. The purest water is then used to steam the beans to prepare them for extraction. The extraction process uses a water based saturated solution that removes the caffeine while keeping the coffee’s flavor compounds in place.
Fun Fact: Roasters don’t hear the “crack” when roasting decaf because the crack represents moisture reaching a boiling point inside the bean and pushing through; with decaf, this isn’t the case, because the cellular structure of the bean has been changed.
How should I brew this coffee?
When it comes to brewing your coffee at home, there are a number of ways you may choose to brew your coffee. These are often dependent on the tools available to you, and your personal preference.
Regardless of the choice of brewing equipment you may have, there are four key fundamental elements that ultimately impact flavor. These four elements are freshness, grind, proportions, and water. Adjusting each of these can assist in extracting your optimum flavor, time and time again.
How to pair this coffee
If you’ve never paired your coffee before, you’re missing out on a treat! Being intentional about the food you eat with your coffee can open up a whole new world of flavors. You can learn more about why pairing is important here [link]. We’d suggest pairing our Mexico San Cristóbal de las Casas & Yajalón Single Origin Decaf with:
- Chocolate mousse
- Lemon tart
- Radish topped avocado toast
At Stori Coffee, we are excited about these new innovative ways of delivering delicious coffee without compromise to flavor. Unlike other decaf processes which use chemicals, MWP (Mountain Water Process) is a fully natural process that extracts the compound responsible for caffeine alone, while preserving the multitude of other compounds responsible for flavor. We hope you enjoy it too! | <urn:uuid:0197dd08-e2fb-4fe5-8ac5-77a9d0e4cc90> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://storicoffee.com/blogs/news/stori-coffee-s-first-decaf-coffee | 2023-09-28T18:47:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.900352 | 836 |

“The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.” - H.P. Lovecraft
Arkham, Massachusetts. September 1930. With the days getting shorter and the leaves changing color, the people of Arkham are hip deep in campaign season. Most have decided who they will cast their vote for, but recently, posters for a new challenger have been spotted around the county.
“Marian Leary for Sheriff of Essex County” they read, in deep red ink. A sinister looking man, no one in the corridors of power seems to know much about him. The posters advertise a speaking tour, with stops in most major towns in Essex County, kicking off in Arkham on Labor Day.
This story is anchored in Lovecraftian mythos, but doesn’t need to adhere strictly to it. I’m hoping we can create a story where our characters will be pushed to the limits of their abilities, and possibly beyond, as they encounter a new, unknown world.

British artist Callum Russell specializes in causing double takes – you have to look and look again. His ‘papercut’ form of art is steeped in genuinely grand history and his meticulous creations strongly petition your senses to pay close attention. Callum is one of those artists that Style.No.Chaser absolutely loves to find and exalt. His great work aside, Callum’s humility as an artist fully shows why we staunchly believe the world would be a far better place if all humans embraced their inner artist. Callum is captivated by the ability of art to connect people with their environment and their emotions in a fluid and seamless way. His papercut style of art highlights his infatuation because it incorporates light, shadows, space and movement to display environments/objects/people that in turn create emotions in spectators.
See the interview with Callum below.
“I love the physical aspect of the material, and the reductive violent process of starting with a single …”
Please tell us a little about yourself – your childhood, siblings, where you grew up, what you liked as a child, strange thoughts as a child/now, unique attributes, where you live now, etc.?
I was born in London, and have lived here for most of my life. I lived in America for 2 years as a child, and spent 3 years in Cornwall at University. I have traveled quite a bit, and have family in Spain, Scotland, Australia and Japan. I think this mix of cultures and experiences has influenced the way I work in that I look for inspiration from, and have a huge appreciation for lots of very different types of art.
What does your art mean to you?
Firstly my art is a personal and self-indulgent practice. I make art because it feels like something I need to do, and if I wasn’t doing it I wouldn’t be able to function properly. The urge to create, whether it be drawing/writing/making/whatever is something that not only feels right, but is a great way to investigate, process and understand the world around me. The goal of my art is not for people to like it and buy it – of course when this happens it’s an amazing feeling – but the primary purpose is that I’m creating something because I want or need to, not because it will be commercially viable.
How do you describe your form of art?
My art is primarily about the connection between people and the things they create. For the past few years I have been focused on looking at the relationship between man and the urban environment. I am interested in aspects of Psychogeography, which Guy Debord describes as “the study of the precise laws and specific effects of the geographical environment, consciously organized or not, on the emotions and behavior of individuals.”
This is represented not only by the images themselves or consisting of people engaging with their environments, but also by the form of the images themselves. The papercuts are created from one single sheet of black paper, and so literally connect the wandering figures with the constructions they are consumed by.
Apple Store Shadow
The papercut nature of your art is super unique – what tools do you use for the creation of your work and how did you create your personal style?
I love the physical aspect of the material, and the reductive violent process of starting with a single sheet of paper and using a medical scalpel to cut away. What starts as a plain sheet of paper becomes a delicate and carefully constructed image. Papercuts exist historically and culturally in many different cultures all over the world. From the German Scherenschnitte, to the Mexican papel-picado folk art, to the red papercuts of the Chinese (who’s papercutting history can be traced back to around 3 BC!) I love the fact that I’m taking part in an ancient and varied tradition. While my particular style owes a lot to the Japanese kiri-e papercuts, I am very influenced by European woodcuts, film noir, and stained glass windows.
When was your last art epiphany and what was it about?
I regularly change my mind about art and creativity. I used to be very against contemporary art, and performance art, but over the last year or so I have completely changed my opinion. As my appreciation and acceptance broadens I have found some of the most interesting and provocative artworks and ideas have come from these genres. I think a large part of this was the acceptance that art doesn’t have to be something that looks nice on a white wall. Much more important is the idea behind the work – why the work is being created, not what the finished piece looks like.
Tokyo 1 With Detail
What is the worst critique you have ever received about your work? What is the best compliment that you have received about your work?
Maybe I ignore the bad criticism, because I can’t think of anything in particular. I think as an artist it is very important to listen to constructive criticism, and to surround yourself with people and artists whose opinions you trust, and whose work you respect – even though it may be very different from yours. Probably the worst criticism comes from myself, in the form of pushing my work and making sure it doesn’t become boring and repetitive. It is very important to develop an analytical and critical eye, to be able to step back from a work and examine it objectively to see if it does or doesn’t work. Regarding compliments, when people first look at my images it isn’t necessarily obvious that they’re papercuts, often people assume it’s a screenprint or a woodcut. So its nice to get compliments about the technical and skill aspect of the work when people discover that they have been intricately and painstakingly hand cut out of paper.
Which artist/s do you look up to the most? In your view, what defines a great artist?
A great artist is dedicated to their work, and has a singular and unique voice. I am a big fan of cinema, and love David Lynch – his aesthetic, storytelling, and the way he creates these enveloping worlds that suck you right in. I think Grayson Perry is one of the best contemporary artists working today. His work is interesting and varied, and his emphasis on the history of craft and its relationship to society and culture is something I greatly respect. His ‘Rieth Lectures’ on the contemporary art world, and his various documentaries on class are all superb.
There are quite a few art snobs out there – what is your view on the appreciation and consumption of art by all?
I think art is amazing and is appreciated by all in one form or another. Often galleries can be quite stuffy, off-putting or pretentious, which can turn people off. I can see how certain types of work can be challenging or difficult to understand, but I think that’s a good thing. As long as you approach art with an open mind it can be hugely rewarding. Also art is everywhere – films, fashion, music, writing – I can’t imagine a life without any of these things.
Since Style.No.Chaser is a men’s lifestyle magazine, what attributes/items/clothing /etc. do you think define a man?
In terms of attributes – respect, intelligence and honesty. Varied interests, the perfection of a skill, and the ability to like what you like unashamedly.
In terms of fashion – for me style is simple and uncomplicated. Jeans and a t-shirt is the ultimate cool – James Dean, Marlon Brando. Throw in some Keith Richards attitude and you’re there. I am also obsessed with bandannas, and the many stylistic and functional guises they have taken over the years.
What is your personal life philosophy?
Work hard, create, do what you love.
Who dead or alive, celebrity or not, artist or not, would you like to go on a two week road trip with and why?
Keith Richards. Why? Because he’s Keith Richards.

If you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time at all, you know my husband and I love finding delicious, affordable and creative meal solutions. Sometimes we’ll take a recipe and tweak it, other times we make stuff up as we go along. We especially enjoy trying new products to see if they fit our tastes, our budget and our lifestyle. That’s what made the new Tyson Toppings coming out such a great thing!
Here’s the story of a great summer meal that is fantastic for breakfast, lunch of dinner. Yes, a Jamie recipe is coming!
A few years ago we discovered how good spinach and eggs together can be so whenever summer comes around and fresh spinach is in abundance, I always get a hankering for the combo. I was excited to learn there was a chance to try new toppings from Tyson that were not breakfast meats (OK, technically the bacon could be considered that, but it can be used in so many other things). I’m not much on breakfast meats and considering I was making a dinner or lunch meal solution, having something with a little kick in the flavor seemed like a fantastic idea.
Many meal solution ideas
I already knew what I was going to make but I attended the in-store demo at Walmart to get even more ideas and watch them prepare food. I have to admit, I get a kick out of watching other people cook. (If you want to see more about my shopping experience, check out my Google+ album)
I have to show you a quick shot of the pasta salad that Kimberly made before moving on to my own meal solution from Tyson.
If this post is already making you want to try Tyson Toppings (bacon, salami, diced pepperoni and sliced pepperoni), I can tell you they are very easy to find in the meat section at Walmart. They are well-labeled and with the other meats like bologna, pepperoni and deli meat.
When I looked at all my options, here’s what made me glad the Tyson diced pepperoni was available:
- It can be used in several kinds of recipes including my omelettes, French bread pizza, pasta salads (including mac n cheese for the kids!), and as a protein-rich topping on baked potatoes or other vegetables.
- It is lower sodium than the other pepperoni options, which is important to many families including ours, who are trying to reduce the sodium in our diet.
- It has noticeably less greasy than the other pepperoni options. I looked at the package and on all the competitors, you could see the grease in the package. That was not the case with the Tyson diced pepperoni.
Home to make that yummy meal!
When I got home from the store I was starving (OK, really hungry) and so was my husband after he had mowed the lawn and weed-eated our big ditch in our backyard. We decided to not wait on making potatoes and saved the ones I bought for another day (it’s a good thing, too. I saved some of the pepperoni and made a baked potato for lunch the following day. It had Italian cheese blend, Tyson diced pepperoni and ranch dressing. Divine!)
Did I mention that this was a simple meal solution? These were all of the ingredients:
To help you with your shopping list, here is what you need to make these delicious spinach and pepperoni omelettes (4 servings):
- 10 large eggs
- Tyson Toppings diced pepperoni (I just used half the package)
- Fresh, washed spinach or greens blend
- Shredded cheese of your choice (we liked Italian blend but if you want to tone down the flavor try just mozzarella)
- Tomatoes of your choice (optional…we used diced Roma)
- 3 tablespoons of milk (very optional, just helps fluff up the eggs)
Making this yummy omelette
- Crack open the eggs into a bowl and whisk them together, adding the three tablespoons of milk if desired
- Add half the bag of diced pepperoni to the eggs and mix well
- Spray a non-stick pan (I prefer the 6-inch for omelettes) with cooking spray (yes, even though it’s a non-stick pan)
- Pour about a cup’s worth of the egg/pepperoni mixture into the heated pan and let it cook flat until it’s fairly firm and not “soupy.”
Turn the eggs (should look like a pancake at this point), careful to not break apart the formed omelette. If you do break it, it’s not the end of the world. The cheese will hold it all together!
- Sprinkle a layer of the cheese blend over the entire egg “pancake” then tear some of the spinach and if you prefer, some of the tomato. Try to keep it on one side of the omelette.
- Carefully fold over the egg so that the cheese, spinach and tomato are covered. Some spinach and tomato will fall out. That’s fine, just use it as a pretty garnish when you serve the omelette.
- Turn the folded omelette so that it can get evenly cooked on the other side
- Serve with fruit, potatoes or just by itself! Some might like marinara sauce or ranch dressing to go with it.

How job numbers work
Job numbers are assigned consecutively across all ServeManager accounts, which means they may not be consecutive within your account, but they will always be sequential and greater than the previous job number.
There are several benefits to this:
- It’s easier for all parties to provide customer support, because everyone is referencing the same job number.
- Multiple companies collaborating on a shared job are referencing the same job number.
- Invoice numbers are always the same as their job number.
Non-consecutive job numbers may seem odd at first, but it quickly becomes a non-issue once members get used to it.

If your client has their own job number, you can enter that in the Client Job Number field on new jobs.
You can also use this field to enter your own job number if you prefer to use your own method of numbering jobs.

New brand and Metropolis collection bring edgy, innovative design to Milan MILAN, April 16, 2012 – As the prestigious Milan Design Week opens, Interface, Inc. (NASDAQ: IFSIA) has announced the launch of a new evolved global brand and an edgy, innovative new collection. Both underscore the carpet tile manufacturer’s design and sustainability leadership. Interface is the only carpet company present at the exclusive and leading design venue La Triennale di Milano. In conjunction with the brand launch, Interface has also announced a commitment to the global Green Apple Day of Service, where the company will encourage its employees, customers and suppliers to volunteer towards school sustainability projects in the communities where it operates around the world. As one of the first companies to join the effort, Interface is highlighting its strong culture of purpose-driven design. The brand’s progressive new look reflects the company’s growing global presence and future ambition. By referring to the brand simply as Interface®, the name under which the company was founded, rather than InterfaceFLOR, the company is honoring the legacy and vision of the late Ray Anderson, the company’s founder and sustainability pioneer. The new look, which will be unveiled at Milan, is a modern take on the company’s historical design. “The Interface brand embodies our commitment to delivering products and experiences that exemplify design with purpose. By this, we mean products that combine beauty, innovation, function and sustainability that inspire our customers to realize their own design visions, from a company that feels a sense of responsibility beyond the products that we sell,” said Maria Davlantes, senior vice president and chief marketing officer of Interface, Inc. “The new brand is a reinforcement of who we are as a company.” The new Interface global brand debuts along with an innovative new design collection and installation hosted at La Triennale di Milano during Milan Design Week, from April 17 to 22, 2012. The new Metropolis™ collection contains striking products developed with sustainability in mind and inspired by the themes that should resonate with all designers: ideological rebirth, based on 2012 global and cultural trends reflecting the end and regeneration of cities and cultures. “As we embark on the new brand that energizes our purpose, the Metropolis collection reflects our hopeful vision of a new and more sustainable future, where people live in harmony with eco-systems, without depleting the raw materials our planet offers. The new collection is Interface at its edgiest and most striking, with atmospheric designs reflecting the mood and mystery of a brave new world. The products are everything customers have come to expect from us – eye catching and innovative yet functional. We hope they will inspire the most dramatic and evocative interiors,” remarked Nigel Stansfield, vice president and chief innovations officer of Interface, Inc. According to Interface’s commitment to sustainability, one-third of the Metropolis collection contains 100-percent recycled yarn made from industrial waste sources, such as used fishing nets and yarn from used carpet tiles, recycled through Interface’s Re-Entry™ 2.0 take-back program. Many of the products have the additional environmental benefits of Interface’s carbon offset program, as standard, and a non-directional design for less waste and faster installation. In further celebration of Interface’s brand and its commitment to the Green Apple Day of Service, the company will identify schools and school districts globally for service projects that can have a meaningful impact on the environments in which children and young adults learn. Interface’s support is an example of how the company lives out its sustainability mission and values. In 2011, Interface, Inc. employees volunteered more than 10,000 hours in communities. “At Interface, design drives and defines everything we do. For us, design should be thoughtful and meaningful—it’s what we are and how we operate as a company,” said Davlantes. “Now and through the rest of the year, we are commemorating the Interface brand both inside and outside the organization through a celebration of what the company stands for and aspires to deliver.” A commemorative book entitled “Design with Purpose,” has been developed to help celebrate Interface’s brand heritage, meaning and aspirations with customers. About Interface, Inc. Established in 1973, Interface, Inc. (NASDAQ: IFSIA) is the worldwide leader in design, production and sales of environmentally responsible modular carpet, manufactured for the commercial and institutional markets under the Interface® brand, and for consumer markets as FLOR™. The company is also a leading designer and manufacturer of commercial broadloom and modular carpet under the Bentley Prince Street™ brand. Interface was one of the first companies to publicly commit to sustainability in the mid-nineties, and the company has been widely recognized for its achievements in this area since then. Its products have also achieved numerous awards specifically for design and innovation, the most recent being The Athenaeum Good Design Award for World Textiles. In 2011, Interface presented another interactive experience at Milan’s La Triennale, entitled “The Positive Floor” to critical acclaim. Interface will bring its brand and the celebration of its values to additional design and industry events around the world throughout this year, including: both NeoCon and Greenbuild in the United States; Saturday in Design in Australia and Singapore; IIDEX/NeoCon in Canada; and Orgatec in Germany.

The ADELBODNER mineral water has its origin in the area of Schwandfeldspitz. Rain and snow enter the infiltration zone as far as they do not drain.
For about seven to ten years, the water works its way through the various layers of rock until it comes to the surface of the earth at the source. On its journey, the water slowly saturates with important minerals such as calcium, magnesium and sulfate.
Due to the pressure of impermeable layers, the water at the source penetrates to the surface by itself. The source is thus artesian.
Elmer mineral water
From the rock directly into the bottle.
The water from ELMER Mineral comes from the alpine St. Martin sources. These are located above Elm at 1200 meters above sea level deep inside the mountain, away from any industrial and agricultural use. Thanks to this advantageous location, the spring water is of first-class quality. The mineralized spring water from the mountain valley, which has been cleared by numerous layers of rock, is free of nitrates and low in sodium.
This Swiss High Premium mineral water is the true luxury of mineral water. Enjoy the refreshing and balanced taste of our water from the untouched depths of the Swiss mountains. Direct from nature on your table. The precious and perfectly balanced minerals make Aqua Premium one of the best available waters and supports your daily well-being.
The origin – purified – Greenland Springwater 938 the real nordic mineral water from Greenland with the unique ph value of 9.38 to support your health in a perfect way. The Source of 938 is located on Disko Island in Qeqertarsuaq. It is being refined for years in volcanic rock (basalt) to a premium spring water. Crystal clear and unique in taste it springs from an artesian source. Unaffected by civilizational influences and untreated 938 is bottled as pure spring water.
Eaux de Zilia
Eaux de Zilia – the extraordinary mineral water from Corsica. Zilia is weakly mineralized and highly digestible.
Without cons-indication, this water is perfect for feeding infants, pregnant women and anyone wanting to find the quality of natural products. Collected at 80 m depth on the side of the mountain. In the granitic rock, the slow infiltration water whose quality is constant, insensitive to climatic variations has created an absolute fabulous mineral water.
Deep under the rainforest of Panama the artesian aquifer of the Aquaçai mineral water percolates under pressure into protected granite caverns. The geological composition of the rock structure adds a balanced mineral and natural electrolyte profile to the water.
Aquaçai – from the rainforest of Panama.
ISKILDE - Worlds Best
Iskilde means “cold spring” in Danish.
What enchants your taste buds with the first sip is its wonderfully silky texture and subtle sweet taste – similar to a glacier water – only with a lot more body. Easy. Sensational.
These rare qualities are due to the fact that Iskilde is filtered through billions of mineral particles before bottling. Sifting through these mineral layers is exposed to a very large surface. Iskilde is exposed to various types of rock. During this process, the water absorbs a variety of rare minerals. These many different tastes, which balance each other out, give Iskilde its rare and completely unobtrusive sweetness. This is also the reason why the water has more body than glacier water, which at first glance seems similar.
GOTA - Argentinia de luxe
GOTA tastes surprising and outstanding.
The first impression is olfactory and the first sip already forest, moss and wood. Then an incredibly soft smoothness spreads in the mouth. GOTA’s renewable underground source is located in Argentina’s Mesopotamia, the region of the Iguazú Falls.
The Guarani Aquifer is located below Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay and is truly one of the largest aquifer systems in the world. It was named after the indigenous Guarani tribe and contains a stable 37,000 km³ of water. This is probably the largest body of groundwater in the world. You have to let that melt in your mouth …
bling h2o | The Goldilocks
It is a unique design water like the Rolls-Royce of all waters.
The shape of the bottles is reminiscent of elegant wine bottles, the visual design of the best champagne. But not only the design with always different colors and original Swarovski crystals is pure luxury, the water itself: only American Tennessee spring water near Knoxville and Nashville on the edge of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
It rises in the heart of the jungle at a temperature of 14.5 ° C and is bottled directly at the source, filtering no less than nine times.

Overall length including the handle is about 12-7/8. It features the very unusual shape to the blade end as can be seen.
The back and ferrule are brass, and the handle is rosewood. The blade is only about. 022 thick, and the teeth don't have any set. The entire saw only weighs about 3.4 ounces on my postal scale.
I would guess that this dates to the mid 1800's, but that is just a guess. Condition is very good with some exceptions. There are some worn teeth mostly towards the front end of the blade, and the beginnings of a split in the ferrule. The brass back has some scratches and dings and some odd partial holes. The blade has one spot of rust and pitting, but is otherwise very good and appears to have been blued.
The handle has a variety of chips and dings, and one deep scratch. The lower edge of the blade has a gentle S shape when you sight down it. A great tool, I've never seen a blade with a shape similar to this one! I sell what I enjoy, and I collect antique woodworking tools and I enjoy photography! The queue is overflowing with tools right now, as they seem to be finding me faster than I can list them.
So please keep watching my postings as I have LOTS more to list! Searching my listings: I have lots to see! That will lead you to my extensive system of categories.You might ask: How can I know when you start new listings? Descriptions, and auctions with pictures only of the left side because the right side was trashed. I come from the handshake school of doing business, and hopefully you are like me and understand what that means. What goes around, comes around. However, that doesn't mean that I won't make an occasional mistake.
Please don't ask, the answer is no. I package well, and have a great track record. I use the US Post Office for everything. Every year the US Postal Service raises rates in mid to late January, and this year is no exception.
So I wont do that for you, or to you. PACKAGING: Please check my feedback -- I package well. I hope someday I will meet some of you as we trudge the happy road of tool collecting!

In order to help customers and prevent products from going into the wrong hands, IKEA takes a number of precautionary measures.
I was wondering whether IKEA lamps can only be used with IKEA light bulbs. Let’s find out what I’ve discovered.
Do IKEA Lamps Need IKEA Bulbs In 2022?
IKEA lamps can be used with household wiring, but they are made for LED bulbs. Most people consider LED bulbs to be more efficient than other bulbs, especially when it comes to energy usage. For this reason, IKEA lamps work best with LED bulbs.
To learn more about what kind of bulbs IKEA uses, I also cover which bulbs you can use if you don’t like the IKEA bulbs, the types of bulbs IKEA uses, and whether you can use other bulbs in place of IKEA bulbs.
What Regular Bulbs Can I Use In Place Of IKEA Bulbs?
A very popular choice is the Edison bulb. It has a soft warm glow and is easy to replace in any fixture. It’s also fairly affordable. There are plenty of choices in both modern and vintage styles.
You can follow along on our guide to getting the light out of your IKEA light bulb.
What Kind Of Lightbulbs Does IKEA Use?
ikea will no long offer traditional fluorescents.
Walmart decided to offer LED as their only lighting option and are able to offer such a low price because so many manufacturers are able to produce the lights for them.
What would I use?
Letting others decide that for me is just giving up. I think I’d use the paraphrasing strategy, but would still make my own original sentence to match.
You could use paragraphing. It would fit in this situation.
Are IKEA Bulbs Good?
Ikea is still well known for its low-cost items. They do not feel cheap. They are well-crafted.
Although most people may not be able to feel the difference in light quality from the new IKEA LED bulbs, some of the customers have told us that they have been satisfied with the performance of the new bulbs.
How Long Do IKEA Bulbs Last?
Their lasting time is almost 1.5 times longer than other bulb types. With all LED bulbs, it’s a good idea to get the highest wattage possible.
Even if you think you might not need another bulb, remember that you can always switch over to an LED bulb when you do need a light that can last a long time.
Are IKEA Bulbs Energy-Efficient?
LED bulbs are the type of bulb that IKEA uses. They also save on energy costs.
They state on their website that a bulb with a LED light source saves about 85% of the energy compared to a regular bulb.
If you’re looking for a more detailed guide on IKEA smart lighting, you should also read our guides on lights and smart bulbs on IKEA.com.
ikea lamps need to be paired with compatible ikea bulbs. You can usually find these at big box stores and online for much cheaper prices than the actual ikea products.
Ikea does offer LED bulbs and many people like the brand for their affordability. However, we want to focus on lighting that is more energy-efficient.
ikea bulbs are long lasting and have a lifespan which is dependent on lighting conditions and electrical stress.

June 05, 2023: Five time MLA from Mau Sadar assembly constituency of Uttar Pradesh, gangster-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari was awarded a lifer in the more than 31-year-old muder case of Awadhesh Rai by MP/MLA court in Varanasi on Monday. He appeared twice through video conferencing during the pronouncement of the verdict in the murder case in the MP-MLA court of Varanasi. Presently Ansari is lodged in Banda jail. According to the advocates present in the court, the dreaded gangster stood motionless with folded hands and bowed head during the pronouncement of the life sentence.
The quinquagenarian, set to turn 60 this month looked tired all through the hearing held through video conferencing.
A fine of Rs 1.20 lakh has also been imposed on him. In default of payment of the fine, Mukhtar will have to undergo additional imprisonment of six months. However, all the sentences will run concurrently.
The tenure Mukhtar Ansari has already spent in jail would be adjusted against the life sentence.
Earlier, the courts of Delhi, Lucknow and Ghazipur have also sentenced Mukhtar Ansari. In the court, Mukhtar’s advocate Aditya Verma said that the accused was old and sick and hence the accused should be awarded inimum punishment. Meanwhile, Assistant District Government Advocate (Criminal) Vinay Kumar Singh said that the accused had a long criminal history. The murder of Awadhesh Rai proved to have been done in broad daylight and hence came under the category of rarest of rare cases. In such a situation, the accused should be punished with maximum punishment, he added.
Five sentences in nine months
Mafia and former MLA Mukhtar Ansari has been sentenced five times by different courts of UP during the last nine months. On Monday, the MP-MLA court of Varanasi sentenced Mukhtar to life imprisonment in the Awadhesh Rai murder case, which has finally done away with the hopes of his release. In fact, the maximum sentence of ten years’ imprisonment was given in the five sentences pronounced before today’s verdict.
Don’s entire family in distress
Presently the entire Ansari clan is in distress. Mukhtar, his son Abbas Ansari, Abbas’s wife Nikhat Bano are behind bars while Mukhtar’s wife Afsa Ansari and son Umar Ansari are absconding. Mukhtar’s son Abbas Ansari is behind bars in a money laundering case.
Punishments accorded in different cases
On February 5, 2003, the Delhi court sentenced him to ten years imprisonment while on September 21, 2022, High Court awarded seven year sentence. Similarly, on September 23, 2022, the High Court sentenced him to five years imprisonment while a ten-year imprisonment was announced by a Ghazipur court on December 15, 2022. Further, ten-year imprisonment was announced by a Ghazipur court on April 29, 2023 while on June 5, 2023, the MP/MLA court Varanasi awarded Ansari life sentence.
One-third of Ansari’s life spent behind bars, three terms of MLA in jail
One-third of Mafia Mukhtar Ansari’s life was spent behind bars. Barely 25 days before his 60th birthday, the MP-MLA court of Varanasi awarded a life sentence to the five-time MLA from Mau Sadar.
So far, after conviction in a total of six cases, there is little hope of getting out of jail. Mafia Mukhtar Ansari is behind bars for the last over 17 years but continues to rule the roost in the world of crime which can be gauged from the fact that ever since he has been in jail, over 25 cases have been registered against him, eight of which pertain to murder. The last case of murder against Mukhtar Ansari was registered in January 2022.
Ansari remained behind bars during his three terms as MLA. Between 2002 to 2017, he remained MLA from Mau Sadar assembly seat for three consecutive terms, but did not come out of jail. Mukhtar reached assembly for the first time in 1996 on a Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) ticket and won from Mau Sadar seat in 2002, 2007, 2012 and 2017, all on BSP ticket.

While everyone is adjusting to the new way of life, there are still some things that we miss. Most of us probably had a lot of overseas vacation plans that had to be cancelled. Our government is still prohibiting international travel unless for specific reasons. For example, students who are studying abroad or expats returning home. Many of us are taking this opportunity to explore our homeland and the many cultures in each state. However, Singapore Airlines and Thai Airways are giving their passengers a whole new experience.
Any Singaporeans who are itching to get on a flight can now book one to nowhere. What do we mean by nowhere? Singapore Airlines will soon allow you to book trips that start and end at the same airport. It is all just for the experience of flying again, from checking in to boarding and to landing.
In addition, the flights to and from Changi airport may come together in a bundle. These can include staycation in hotels, shopping vouchers, as well as limousine ferry rides. According to the airlines, the flights to nowhere are set to take place by the end of October. This is part of an effort to help boost passenger traffic after a survey showed that 75% of the participants are willing to take flights of this nature.
However, Singapore Airlines is actually not the first to offer these type of flights. Japanese airline ANA also sold tickets for flights to nowhere for passengers. Meanwhile, two Taiwan carriers also ran similar efforts. Of course there will still be SOPs in place such as social distancing and temperature recording.
Meanwhile, Thai Airways is giving their passengers a taste of the sky again by opening a pop-up restaurant. It is located in the Bangkok headquarters and is designed to make you feel like you’re in a plane. This includes having to climb those pesky stairs like you would to board and disembark a flight.
Inside the canteen you will find Thai Airways’ signature purple and orange plane seats. Here you can order meals that you can only find on a Thai Airways in-flight meal menu. At 7AM they serve breakfast and the international menu begins at 9AM. Customers can order Caesar Salad, Japanese yakisoba, shwarma kebabs, and more.
If any of you are missing some airline food, then check out Santan which is AirAsia’s first ever store. At Santan you can enjoy some classic Malaysian dishes that is also served to passengers on flight. | <urn:uuid:0e1b0517-3a8c-45aa-9f2a-52d24a32e3ff> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://tallypress.com/fun/singapore-airlines-and-thai-airways-fly-to-nowhere-and-eat-on-a-plane/ | 2023-09-28T17:41:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.967036 | 505 |
Tamarack’s Connectors enable you to improve your CMS workflow.
At Tamarack we find inspiration in many parts of life. This African Proverb, while not meant for a technology company, speaks strongly to our approach in the Equipment Finance ecosystem. Working alone, developing alone, is sometimes faster, but rarely better. Good strategy and effective system design always involves others—those who have gone before us and those who are best-in-class. We are in this race for the long haul, so we race with others.
Tamarack’s Connector product line reflects this attitude. We believe that the most productive workflows and durable enterprise systems leverage the best functional solutions available. We have collaborated with these Equipment Finance industry leaders to develop Connectors that help bring their value to customers by connecting to leading Contract Management Systems (CMS).
CSC® Financial Integration
Tamarack’s CSC Financial Integration allows your CMS system to communicate directly with the CSC Global web sites and applications. By integrating with CSC Global services architecture, all UCC Filing tasks can be completed within your CMS, thus eliminating the need for duplicate entry or uploading UCC updates via batch processing.
The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) is a comprehensive set of laws governing commercial transactions in the United States. Because the UCC has been universally adopted across state lines, Equipment Finance providers can enter into contracts with the confidence that terms will be enforced in the same way by the courts of every US jurisdiction. UCC adjudication thus creates certainty for business relationships thus facilitating broad economic growth. The UCC has been called “the backbone of American commerce.”
CSC® Global is the leading provider of Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) searches, UCC filings, and online UCC portfolio management services for commercial banks of all sizes, factoring/accounts receivable organizations, capital finance companies, large leasing enterprises, and legal firms specializing in secured transactions. CSC has serviced the UCC community for nearly six decades.
In addition to providing users with the ability to perform the UCC functions directly within applications like InfoLease®, this integration facilitates automated updates between the CMS platform and CSC Global without any user intervention. Specifically, the following interaction between systems can be configured:
- New Filings can be automatically sent to CSC. Upon receipt, CSC will return the Order Number. This will be stored on the Filing record.
- UCC updates and approval requests can be submitted in real-time from the CMS to CSC.
- The utility can schedule periodic CSC database queries requesting detailed information on Orders that have been updated and/or received a status change. These updates will be automatically stored in the CMS Filing record.
- Automatically download and store PDF documents from CSC.
Vertex O Series Connector
Achieving automation of sales tax compliance across all fifty states is a monumental task. Maintaining the state-by-state rules and rates in a single system is inevitably time consuming and reactionary. Compounding this effort is the need for Lessors to administer this logic consistently across the enterprise, which becomes an insurmountable task.
Vertex is the leading and most-trusted provider of comprehensive, integrated tax technology solutions, having helped 10,000+ businesses since 1978. Vertex Indirect Tax O Series is a robust tax calculation engine that helps you achieve an accurate determination of sales and purchase tax in every transaction. It features a solid integration with ERPs, billing systems, or ecommerce platforms. Vertex O Series maintains the latest rules and rates for nearly 10,000 U.S. taxing jurisdictions. This enables it to simplify and automate the tedious processes involved in calculating, collecting, and reporting on sales, consumer use, as well as VAT, GST, and other transaction tax types. It can likewise manage industry-specific tax content for communications, leasing, and retail taxes.
Despite efforts such as the Streamlined Sales Tax Act (SSTA), automated sales tax compliance continues to elude lessors not only due to ever-changing tax rules, but because Frontend and Backend sales tax integration limitations only exacerbate the manual effort required to correct inconsistencies. Today’s lessors require tax automation for the CMS to service the transaction using the same logic that was applied by the origination system. Tamarack’s Vertex O Series Connector provides that automation.
With so many states looking for ways to increase their tax base by applying additional criteria such as the type or length of the lease, titled vs. non-titled, vehicle weight, and end of lease options, a simple location and tax type cannot be relied upon to return an accurate rate.
Therefore, the demand for the CMS to service the transaction using the same logic that was applied by the origination system is crucial to reducing wasted resources.
Industry Expertise & Alliances provide a Solution
Tamarack partnered with Vertex Inc. to develop the Tamarack O Series Integration to address each of these challenges. By leveraging the benefits of a centralized tax decision engine, the administration of tax compliance becomes external to the CMS.
The combination of Tamarack O Series Integration and Vertex O Series provides lessors with four key benefits.
- Centralized Tax Management — Vertex O Series is a scalable and platform-independent solution that enables the tax department to centralize tax management, transaction processing, and reporting across heterogeneous systems. Using Taxability Manager, a browser-based O Series tool, your tax department can manage the taxability applied to the transactions processed by the system. Lease transaction types and asset classes can be associated with Vertex-supplied taxability rules. In addition, exemption certificates from your customers and custom exceptions defined by your tax department can all be setup, maintained and referenced.
- Current Tax Compliance — Vertex will provide not only the sales tax rates but also the taxability rules in a monthly update that can be easily applied to O Series. Changing even the most complex tax calculation, such as a new tiered structure, is performed through a simple database update giving you more control and assurance that you are in compliance and in step with the many changes by tax authorities.
- Common Integration Platform — O Series is built on the common platform of the Transaction Processing System (TPS). The TPS was designed using broadly adopted, open, web-oriented technologies to maximize its flexibility, interoperability, and portability. The Tamarack O Series Integration uses Web Services (SOAP, XML messages) structured within InfoLease/UniData to communicate with Vertex O Series.
- Configurable Field Definitions — The Tamarack O Series Integration is the final piece that brings it all together. To ensure accurate tax decisions, the Tamarack O Series Integration configuration screens allow the lessor to ensure the necessary data points are used.
As any given transaction may need to send 10 to 30 unique data fields to Vertex O Series, the Tamarack O Series Integration provides the necessary interface for you to configure where these data elements are stored within your database. The integration will dynamically collect these elements for submission to O Series.
Tamarack Sales Tax Return Connector
Companies managing equipment finance portfolios that run across state lines need a reliable tax solution that reduces effort and risk associated with sales and use tax return reporting and remittance.
The Tamarack Sales Tax Return Connector accumulates sales, use, and rental tax received, both accrual and cash basis, within the Contract Management System (CMS) delivering both detailed and summary report extracts.
- The Sales Tax Return Connector’s fixed-length summary extract can be used to import portfolio information into the tax return applications like the Vertex® Indirect Tax Returns.
- The detailed report contains data down to the individual asset level and tax event enabling tax preparers to quickly ascertain problem areas during the monthly filing process.
Tamarack Insurance Interface (TII)
Great American Insurance (GAI) created an Automatic Insurance Program (AIP) that enables Lessors to request, place, and track insurance coverage on leased or financed equipment when the Lessee has not provided sufficient coverage.
Tamarack developed the Tamarack Insurance Interface (TII) to facilitate a lessor’s CMS integration with the AIP program. By communicating with GAI through batch extracts and imports, TII can ensure lessors have adequate coverage on their portfolio.
TII uses two data exchange formats: Client Data Transfer (CDT) and Invoice Data Transfer (IDT). The CDT file is sent on a schedule agreed upon by the Lessor and GAI. The file includes customer, contract and asset information that must be sent to GAI. In summary, the CDT contains the following transaction types.
- New Business – The Lessor would like to request coverage from GAI. This lease transaction may have been recently been booked or determined to have inadequate coverage.
- Update – If a lease is currently tracked by GAI, specific changes would trigger an update transaction. For example any changes to the customer address, equipment value, or lease structure will trigger an update transaction.
- Cancel – If the Lessor determines GAI coverage is not necessary on a transaction, they can request GAI cancel coverage
- Terminate – If a lease transaction reaches full term or an early termination, a termination request will be sent to GAI.
Similar to the CDT file, the IDT file will be made available to the Lessor to import into their CMS. The IDT file contains premium and administrative charges to be invoiced to the lessee. Typically, a lease will be included on an IDT file once each month. | <urn:uuid:54f06c55-a33b-4846-bc2c-1ade3684c174> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://tamarack.ai/solutions/connectors/ | 2023-09-28T17:02:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.922428 | 2,004 |
Part IV. The final stages of work on the hull, including interior details and fitting the engine.
Tiger 131 was captured in April 1943. In September 1951 it was passed to the Tank Museum where it soon became one of the most famous vehicles in the collection. In 1990 it was decided to restore the tank to running order. Battle damage would not be repaired.
In November 1999 the Tank Museum created a website to track the restoration project. This site featured monthly updates for 4 years. This series of posts will republish some of the photographs and details featured on that site, and then bring the story of Tiger 131’s restoration up to date.
With work on the turret effectively complete, we now returned our attention to the hull. By previous standards what remained to be done was detail work, but there was plenty of it none the less.
First of all it was necessary to refit the external road wheels that had been removed for repair, remembering first to repaint the inner ones of course.
Then there were fittings such as the main engine cover hatch. This would be one of the last items to be fitted to the tank but now was the time to get it ready.
And there were the interior fittings to complete too.
This is one of the internal ammunition stowage racks, cleaned back to bare metal and with all the packing materials restored or replaced.
In the interests of safety it was necessary to make one compromise with authenticity. The Tiger needed a modern fire-suppressant system.
The team from fire protection company Kidde Graviner, in conjunction with the staff at ABRO, came up with a system. Here we see the two containers located on the firewall between the crew compartment and engine. A control panel was installed above the driver’s head.
Just look at this!
Work is nearly complete on the rear of the hull.
The Fiefel air cleaning system is in place, the battered heat shields from the exhaust stacks are repaired (except for obvious battle damage) and one of the big castings that holds the exhaust tube in place is waiting to go on.
The hull near completion
In a post from October 2001 we see that, at long last, the comprehensive rebuild is close to completion.
This is the time for details and here we see the hull, virtually complete, and the Fiefel air filtration equipment installed.
Most of what you see is original. Only such details as the tow ropes and gun cleaning rods are modern recreations.
This is an interior view of the hull machine-gunner’s side with his hatch open. Just look at the attention to detail and the excellent condition of the weapon mounting. Lots of detail items are still required for completeness, machine-gun ammunition pouches for example, but these can be collected and installed once the tank itself is finished.
On the driver’s side the same applies.
The 88mm rounds in the stowage lockers are fabricated but everything else is original, with the exception of the little box, high up in the corner. This is part of the modern fire-fighting system which has to be sited where the driver can see it.
Installing the engine
The last step in this long and fascinating process is the installation of the impressive Maybach HL230P30 V-12 petrol engine.
Here Ron is putting the final touches to the big power unit.
Those who have followed the story right through will recall that this engine came from the Tank Museum’s Tiger II and in reality would be more applicable to late production Tiger I tanks.
Ron and Dave are deaf to the world as they test-run the engine on a temporary rig in the cover photograph. The HL230P30 is a 23 litre engine which, in service, developed 700 horse power at 3,000 rpm. It equipped Panther, Tiger II and late production Tiger I tanks.
Finally the engine is installed!
The most obvious difference from the original HL210 engine is the use of two large air-cleaners instead of three smaller ones but of particular interest here is the black fitting on the far side.
This is one of the newly-made fan drive gearboxes which had to be specially manufactured for this tank due to the engine change.
In the next post, we’ll see how she runs! | <urn:uuid:a6ece926-f022-4595-bdd4-80d1ed2aa646> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://tankmuseum.org/article/hull-tiger-131 | 2023-09-28T18:51:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.9602 | 903 |

What Is a Car Importation Business?
A car importation business is a venture that involves the purchase and transportation of vehicles from one country to another for resale or distribution.
It entails sourcing vehicles from overseas markets and importing them into a target market where there is demand or potential profitability.
The process typically involves identifying countries or regions where certain vehicles are more affordable or where specific models are in high demand.
The car importation business can focus on new or used vehicles, depending on market preferences and regulations.
It requires knowledge of international trade regulations, customs procedures, shipping logistics, and local market conditions.
Once the vehicles are imported, the business may engage in activities such as refurbishment, maintenance, and compliance with local regulations and standards before offering them for sale.
This may involve ensuring that the vehicles meet safety and emissions requirements, obtaining necessary certifications, and handling paperwork related to registration and licensing.
Car importers often target niche markets, catering to customers who are looking for unique or hard-to-find models, luxury vehicles, or speciality cars that may not be readily available in the local market. They may also cater to car enthusiasts or collectors who seek specific makes and models.
Why Should I Start a Car Importation Business?
Are you an automotive enthusiast with a passion for cars from around the world? Or perhaps you have a keen eye for market opportunities and a desire to enter the lucrative automotive industry.
Starting a car importation business could be an exciting venture worth considering. In this article, we will delve into the compelling reasons why you should embark on this entrepreneurial journey.

6. Personal Fulfillment and Passion.
For car enthusiasts, starting a car importation business can be personally fulfilling. It allows you to turn your passion for cars into a profitable venture.
Combining your love for automobiles with entrepreneurship can provide a sense of fulfilment and satisfaction as you build a business around something you genuinely enjoy.
7. Profit Potential and Scalability.
The car importation business holds significant profit potential. By sourcing vehicles at lower prices and selling them at competitive rates in your target market, you can generate substantial revenue and build a profitable business.
As your business grows, you can scale operations by expanding your sourcing network, exploring new markets, and diversifying your vehicle offerings.
With careful planning and effective execution, you have the opportunity to establish a sustainable and lucrative business venture.
8. Adaptability and Resilience.
The automotive industry is constantly evolving, with new technologies, trends, and consumer preferences shaping the market.
Starting a car importation business requires staying informed about these changes and adapting your inventory and strategies accordingly.
This adaptability not only keeps your business relevant but also ensures its resilience in the face of economic fluctuations and market shifts.
With the ability to pivot and adjust to changing demands, your car importation business can thrive in both stable and challenging times.
9. International Business Experience.
Operating a car importation business offers the opportunity to gain international business experience.
By engaging with suppliers, navigating import/export regulations, and managing logistics across borders, you’ll develop valuable skills in international trade and business operations.
This experience can be transferrable to other industries and open doors to future entrepreneurial endeavours.
10. Contribution to Sustainability.
With the growing interest in sustainable transportation, starting a car importation business can allow you to contribute to the promotion of eco-friendly vehicles.
By sourcing and importing electric or hybrid cars, you can support the adoption of cleaner transportation options in your market.
This not only aligns with global environmental goals but also positions your business as a responsible and forward-thinking player in the automotive industry.

WHAT IS YOUR WORLDVIEW? by Dr. Beverly Horn, Emeritus Executive Director of the Transcultural Nursing Society
Transcultural nursing theories rely heavily on concepts related to worldview. Madeleine Leininger uses the term as one of the orientational definitions basic to her theory of transcultural nursing. She noted that orientational definitions are deliberately broad and not operational definitions. She defined world view as “the way people tend to look out on the world or on their universe to form a picture or value stance about their life or world around them”. (Leininger, M.,1995). Another definition is: “a worldview is a collection of attitudes, values, stories, and experiences about the world as expressed in ethics, religion, philosophy. scientific beliefs and so on”. (Sire, J W., 2004).
We are living in extraordinary times. This is not just an “era of change, but a change of eras”. Worldviews are not static but change, as persons have new experiences and new knowledge is acquired. A change in worldview may be subtle and incremental or may be sudden and life-changing. In this new era of change, a plethora of events bombard our senses and awaken our consciousness to new ways of thinking not experienced in many of our lives. For example, new technologies enable us to pass information quickly and globally to places we have never thought possible in the past.
The COVID 19 pandemic that began in 2020 has altered our worldview from many perspectives and required learning new skills and ways of coping unknown to many. The experience of sudden serious illness and death, overburdening hospitals and caregivers and families separated from one another was and is overwhelming. Families experienced the death of loved ones, often from a distance, not able to be present with them at the end of their lives. Colleagues with whom one worked closely were suddenly gone. Organizations were required to make changes immediately and abruptly. Hospitals needed staff that was not available. Colleges and universities closed and changed to online courses. Working from home became the norm if it was at all possible.
Transitioning to virtual communication in organizations was necessary if the business was to continue. Technology made this possible, but only if there were experts in technological advances who could facilitate such major changes. The Transcultural Nursing Society was able to make such changes and reflect several changes in worldview regarding operations. The pandemic, as well as the social, cultural, and political events occurring simultaneously were influential in this evolution. The Transcultural Nursing Society has evolved as an organization. As technology has developed, the internet enhanced communication. The Annual Conference, of course, was held so that as many as possible could attend; this has always been a major value. For more than two years, we have had to adapt our worldview of our conference as many organizations had to adapt and change.
For example, in an altered worldview, what of future conferences? What other ways will organizations interact with members in the future? Does our collective worldview now include many other possibilities? The Annual Conference will never be the same some individuals would like to attend in person, others virtually, and some would like a hybrid experience if possible. Are there other possibilities? How has your worldview been influenced by this era of change? I belong to other organizations that are responding to these changes in worldview as they move forward in ways not anticipated and unknown. The Transcultural Nursing Society has truly responded. We are truly evolving our organization to address the future and evolve to meet our mission in new and exciting ways. Many thanks to the membership, Central Office staff, Boards of Trustees, and our committees, who have adapted and shepherded the organization through these many changes into a strong virtual presence for continued and new organizational growth. We look forward to continuing our mission with you and the communities you serve. The future offers exciting and creative opportunities to continue the evolution of the Transcultural Nursing Society.

Ben was also the school fat guy at a time when childhood obesity was not yet the epidemic norm it is now. I know it sounds awful to call Ben the fat guy but he was overweight and that made him a target for school bullies. However, Ben was my friend. He took pictures of my band! And any artist or entertainer will tell you that we have strong propensities toward vanity and anyone who supports our art is a friend indeed.
At first, I didn’t know Ben was getting bullied.
You see, I was new to the school. I transferred in at the beginning of my junior year and by then all the social pecking orders had been long established. These were kids who had known each other since early childhood. They grew up together; they went to the same schools together; and they went to the same churches together. I was a stranger in a strange land, so different as to be from another world. But I didn’t care. I was happy they let me go to that school, different as I was. And I was glad I was going to a school where I didn’t have to worry about getting attacked or threatened on a regular basis.
Ben and I got to know each other while riding the school bus. Few kids wanted to sit next to the outcast or the new guy so that provided us the opportunity to sit next to each other. I would talk endlessly about my band and Ben talked about photography which was his passion. He even offered to take pictures of my band. He took the pictures you see here and he developed them himself (an ancient technology which existed before cell phones). I’m the drummer and my brother Michael is the guitar player on the far right.
Ben never talked about getting bullied.
I’d seen kids push him around or make fun of him but since I was new, I couldn’t be sure if I was witnessing camaraderie or cruelty. As I wrote in 3 Things to Know About Bullying, ‘we live in a culture which allows rude, obnoxious and even violent behaviors to be excused by our friends and family. Many of these behaviors could be considered bullying in different circumstances.’ Maybe what I saw was just harmless stupid fun. Then came the day I knew for sure.
It was a cold autumn afternoon. As we waited in the school parking lot the kids on the bus were buzzing in anticipation. I had no idea what was going on – nobody told the outsider. As the bus lurched on to the main highway to go home, a large briefcase went flying off the bus, crashing on the roadside spilling its contents into the muddy ditch. Kids were laughing. The teacher driving the bus never saw what happened. I found out later that some kids had stolen Ben’s briefcase and hid it on top of the bus so it would go flying. I was outraged and would have done something about it if I had known who was responsible. As violent as my childhood had been to this point, I had rarely witnessed this kind of loathsome cruelty.
From that point on I vowed to do whatever I could to protect Ben.
But the powers of darkness can be subtle and it was a couple of months before I got my chance to be a paladin.
I was sitting next to Ben while riding home on a wintery February afternoon. The guys behind us thought it would be funny to hit Ben in the head with their gloves. They’d hit him and stop, and then hit him again. He asked them to stop and they would for a few minutes only to start up again. It was very humiliating and annoying for Ben and it really pissed me off. I had all I could stand. I transformed from New Testament forgiveness and forbearance to Old Testament wrath and smiting. I jumped up in my seat, turned around and grabbed each guy by his lapels and snarled, “If you touch him one more time, you’ll have to deal with me!”
I’m really not sure what I would have done exactly. I guess I was hoping the threat would be enough. It was. Mr. Calvin, the bus driver, pulled the bus over to the curb and threw me out! | <urn:uuid:1fc219d5-d3c2-4714-997d-24a56ea5082c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://teacherfromplanetreality.com/the-bully-on-the-bus-part-2/ | 2023-09-28T17:38:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.993132 | 878 |
David Quinn (Cranston, R.I./Boston University), head coach of the Boston University men’s ice hockey team, has been named head coach of the 2019 U.S. National Junior Team, it was announced today by USA Hockey.
The U.S. National Junior Team will take part in the 2019 International Ice Hockey Federation World Junior Championship Dec. 26, 2018 – Jan. 5, 2019, in Vancouver and Victoria, British Columbia.
Joining Quinn behind the bench will be assistant coaches Mike Hastings (Crookston, Minn./Minnesota State), David Lassonde (Durham, N.H./Dartmouth College) and Steve Miller (Columbus, Ohio/Ohio State University).
“We’re thrilled to have David leading our national junior team,” said Pat Kelleher, executive director of USA Hockey. “He knows the international stage and our player pool extremely well and has been a big part of our program for a long time. We know that David and our outstanding group of assistant coaches will do a tremendous job with our team.”
Quinn, while making his debut as a head coach for Team USA at an IIHF event, has been part of the coaching staff of seven previous U.S. teams in IIHF world championship play.
“It is always an honor to represent our country, and I’m particularly excited to be asked to serve as head coach in what is considered one of the greatest hockey tournaments,” said Quinn. “The United States has medaled in this tournament three straight years, which is a real testament to the growth and depth of talent across the country. We have a great coaching staff put together and we have one goal, and that is to win the gold medal.”
Quinn will be making his debut as head coach for Team USA after serving on seven U.S. coaching staffs in IIHF world championship play
A defenseman on the 1986 U.S. National Junior Team that claimed the country’s first-ever medal in IIHF World Junior Championship tournament history (bronze), Quinn previously served as an assistant coach for the 2005 U.S. National Junior Team. He also filled the same capacity for a pair of silver medal-winning U.S. Women’s National Teams (1999, 2000), three U.S. Men’s National Teams (2007, 2012, 2016) and the 2003 U.S. Under-18 Men's National Team.

As a head coach in Lake Erie, Quinn guided the Monsters to their first-ever playoff berth in 2010-11. In between the NTDP and Lake Erie, he spent five seasons (2004-09) as the associate head coach at Boston University, where he helped the Terriers win the 2009 NCAA national championship. Quinn’s other collegiate coaching positions have been at Northeastern (1995-96) and Nebraska-Omaha (1996-2002).
Selected in the first round (13th overall) by the Minnesota North Stars in the 1984 NHL Entry Draft, Quinn’s playing career ended prematurely after he was diagnosed with a blood disorder called Christmas Disease. Prior to his career ending, Quinn was an All-Hockey East and All-New England defenseman as well as co-captain during his senior year in 1987-88 for head coach Jack Parker at Boston University.
Mike Hastings, head coach of the Minnesota State University Mankato men’s ice hockey team, will be behind a U.S. bench for the fifth time.

He earned the Spencer Penrose Award as the top coach in college hockey in 2015 and is a two-time WCHA Coach of the Year. Head coach of the USHL’s Omaha Lancers for 14 seasons (1993-2008), Hastings left the USHL in 2008 as the league’s all-time winningest coach. He was named USHL Coach of the Year three times and league General Manager of the Year on five occasions.

An assistant coach in both 2013 and 2014, Lassonde tutored goaltender John Gibson to an MVP performance that helped the U.S. win the 2013 IIHF World Junior Championship in Ufa, Russia. Additionally, he helped the U.S. capture a gold medal at the 2017 World Deaf Ice Hockey Championship that took place in Buffalo, N.Y. and was part of the coaching staff that led the U.S. Under-18 Select Team to a second-place finish at the 2016 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Cup in Breclav, Czech Republic and Piestany, Slovakia. Over his 31-year NCAA Division I men’s hockey coaching career, that has also included stops at the University of New Hampshire, University of Denver, University of Wisconsin and Miami (Ohio) University, Lassonde’s college resume includes 20 trips to the NCAA Tournament with five appearances in the Frozen Four, three conference tournament titles and six regular-season championships.
Steve Miller, who recently completed his first season as associate head coach for the Ohio State University men’s ice hockey team, returns as a U.S. National Junior Team assistant coach for the third consecutive year after helping the U.S. to back-to-back medal finishes in 2017 and 2018. A year ago, he helped the U.S. claim a bronze medal on home ice at the 2018 IIHF World Junior Championship in Buffalo, N.Y., after serving on the staff that led the United States to a gold medal at the 2017 IIHF World Junior Championship in Montreal and Toronto, Canada. A three-time NCAA national champion as an assistant coach (Providence – 2015; Denver – 2004, 2005), Miller’s collegiate coaching career began in 1989 and has seen him contribute to 18 NCAA Tournament berths, four Frozen Four appearances, six conference tournament titles and four regular-season league championships during his time with St. Mary’s University, Miami University, University of Denver, Providence College, Air Force Academy and now at Ohio State University.

When Should You Consider Buying A Term Plan?
When it comes to life, you can never foretell what the future has planned for you. Although death is inevitable, you can still make some perquisites to make your family members’ lives easier. If you want to ensure financial safeguard for your family in the event of your unfortunate death, then a term life insurance plan is a must-have for you.
With a reliable term plan, you can prepare for various uncertainties that you may encounter in your life. It is also considered as one of the most cost-efficient ways to mitigate risk associated with the future. Moreover, as term insurance requires lower premiums as compared to other plans, especially when it’s an online term plan, they are fairly popular in India.
The plan offers your chosen nominee a lump sum amount of money in the event of your death. Alternatively, if you survive throughout the policy tenure, then some plans also provide you a return of premium benefit with the policy. However, it’s not available in all the term insurance plans available through different providers.
While you purchase term insurance for the safety of your loved ones, you must keep a few things in mind to make the most out of your policy:
Ensure that your preferred term insurance provides sufficient income to support your family’s daily expenses in case of your unfortunate demise. Make sure that your chosen plan’s tenure covers you up to your retirement age. As a general rule of thumb, choose a plan with at least a maximum tenure of 65 years
Keeping the above two things in mind, you can easily choose a great term life insurance plan as per your financial requirements. Let us now discuss the various benefits of term insurance that make it one of the best investment options available in India.
Why Must You Purchase a Term Plan?
Here are a few reasons to consider investing in online term plans and secure the future of your loved ones in your absence:
1. Lower Premiums
As there is no market-linked investment involved in term plans, their premiums are generally lower than other life insurance policies. By only paying around 1% of your annual income, you can gain a life cover through these policies. Generally, if you choose a policy worth one crore, then the premiums might be estimated at Rs. 7,400 per annum.
2. Greater Flexibility
The best thing about online term plans is that they are highly flexible. They don’t include health plans as a mandatory factor, which makes them easily accessible to people. Moreover, you can even personalize the plan as per your requirement for re-evaluation.
3. Financial Security
In case you die, unfortunately, any of your existing financial liabilities will have to be paid by your family, which can be very draining, especially if you’re the only breadwinner of the family. However, such situations can be prevented by investing in a good term life insurance plan to take care of your family’s financial needs in your absence.
4. Several Riders
Riders are optional benefits that can be added to your plan as per your financial and coverage requirements. To add these plans to your term policy, you have to pay a nominal fee. That’s why it is often suggested to add only necessary riders to your term plan. There are several types of riders that can be added with an online term plan such as critical illness, permanent or partial disability, accidental death, and so on. Before you add a rider to your policy, make sure you read the related documents thoroughly to ensure that you never miss anything.
5. Higher Claim Settlement
If you have provided correct and true details about you while purchasing a term insurance policy such as your habits, financial conditions, health conditions, and so on, then your dependents will find it easier to get the claim settled without facing any rejection. According to the mandates set by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI), an insurance company cannot claim a non-disclosure after two years of keeping the policy active.
6. Zero Brokerage
When you buy an insurance plan traditionally, you may have to pay Brokerage charges added under premium allocation charges, which is usually a recurring expense. In simple terms, whenever you pay an insurance premium, a small portion of it is used as brokerage charges. While this expense decreases over time, it counts for nearly 5-6% of the total premiums you’ve paid throughout the policy tenure.
However, if you purchase an online term plan, then you don’t have to pay any brokerage charges as there are no middlemen involved in the process. This eventually allows you to save that additional 5-6% amount that adds up to your financial corpus. Therefore, make sure you purchase a term plan online for greater convenience and affordable rates.
7. Tax Benefits
As per the mandate of the Income Tax Act of India, the premiums paid towards a term life insurance policy and the benefits gained through it are completely free from any kind of taxation. This means by investing in term insurance you can also save a significant amount of money from taxes. The benefits that can be availed for tax deduction also include the death benefit which is paid to your selected nominee in the event of your unfortunate death.
As several people are getting aware of the importance of life insurance, more and more people are attracted to online term plans because of their impeccable set of features. Whether you need to pay off a mortgage, fund your children’s education, or help your family bear your funeral costs, a term plan allows you to accumulate financial resources for all such purposes. Therefore it is certainly an important decision to purchase term insurance as soon as possible. | <urn:uuid:e0c1e16c-0ada-41e6-89e1-3cf455fa619d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://technewsgather.com/best-time-to-buy-term-plan-online-in-india/ | 2023-09-28T17:26:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.958333 | 1,177 |

To most people, Amazon is an online marketplace where they can buy anything from pet toys to luxury perfumes. For Amazon’s sellers, though, the platform doesn’t seem nearly as obliging. Amazon’s fees for third-party sellers have never been low; in fact, some of their fees make it hard to turn a profit at all on certain items.
Now that 2022 is here Amazon is increasing some of its fees once again, and sellers are having to puzzle out just how these changes will impact their bottom line. And with 72 different kinds of Amazon fees, that’s no easy task if you’re doing everything on your own. It’s possible to get an idea from Seller Central (a seller tool provided by Amazon), or by exporting Amazon reports to spreadsheets, where the information can be rearranged to calculate profits, losses, etc. A more efficient option is Shopkeeper, a margin tracker that helps sellers see real-time sales data for each item, all in one dashboard.
With some of these fee increases already in effect, it’s vital for Amazon sellers to stay one step ahead whenever possible – and the only way to do that is to make the data do the work. Keeping that in mind, let’s check out how Amazon’s fee increases will affect sellers.
FBA Fulfillment Fees
If you’re looking at the increases for these fees, you might not be too worried about it. Since this fee is calculated based on size, there are several categories; the smaller the package, the smaller the FBA fulfilment fee. In some cases, the cost per package is less than a dollar, and the increase seems equally insignificant. What’s missing from the picture here? The increase in each size category by percentage. Going from 2% to 12%, sellers could potentially take quite a hit to their profits.
Consider a hypothetical item that’s selling for $10 on Amazon. After all’s said and done, the item grosses 20% profit. Then the FBA fulfillment fee increases, and for this specific item that increase amounts to an additional 8% – now the item is only making a 10% profit.
Once you look at it that way, it’s easy to see how drastically even this one fee can affect profits. One way or another, sellers will have to do the math for every item they carry in order to determine if they’re even worth selling anymore.
Amazon’s seller reports can shed some light, and Seller Central may provide some insights as well. Shopkeeper, on the other hand, aggregates all of Amazon’s fees, plus costs, refunds, and more, to show the profit margin for every item in one place. Not only is it faster and easier than using Seller Central, but decisions to optimize selling strategies become a lot more straightforward.
Here’s a bit of good news for Amazon sellers: referral fees won’t be going up in 2022. In fact, some of them will be going down. This includes referral fees for lawnmowers and snow throwers, as well as any item with a total sales price higher than $500 (from 15% to just 8%).
FBA Storage Fees
Effective the 1st of February 2022, the cost of storing inventory at FBA warehouses have gone up (excluding the peak months of October – December). January – September storage fees have gone from $0.75 per cubic foot to $0.83 per cubic foot for standard-sized packages, and from $0.48 per cubic foot to $0.53 per cubic foot for oversized packages.
Aged Inventory Surcharge
Even though all the buzz has been about fee increases, that isn’t quite accurate here – this fee is entirely new to sellers. There was already a fee for aged inventory; that applied to anything that was stored in FBA centers over one year (365 days), and it cost sellers $6.90 per cubic foot, or $0.15 per unit (whichever comes out to the highest price). The new fee also has to do with aged inventory, but the time frame is now tighter for sellers – it applies to anything that’s stored in an FBA warehouse from 271 days up to a year. It’s a flat rate of $1.50 per cubic foot, and it’ll be stacked on top of what sellers are already paying in storage fees.
Aside from the fact that sellers will be paying more than before, this could cause other problems. If a seller can’t count on being able to get rid of certain products, they’ll be less likely to stock them – meaning there could ultimately be fewer options to choose from on Amazon.
One possible solution is to take advantage of Shopkeeper’s inventory planning tool, which is designed to help sellers prepare for high-volume months without over-or under-stocking at the FBA warehouse. If you can use Shopkeeper to apply accurate sales projections to your inventory needs, you’ll be less likely to incur aged inventory surcharges.
FBA Removal and Disposal Fees
Between one thing and another, some items at FBAs end up being unsellable and have to be disposed of. Sellers have the option to get the damaged items shipped back to them; they could also pay for the item to be destroyed at the FBA. Whatever they choose, though, it’s now going to cost quite a lot more. Out of the nine size tiers, all but the smallest have increased by over 200%. To illustrate, a package weighing between 1 and 2 pounds used to cost $0.48 to remove or dispose of, but now it costs $1.14. It may not seem like a lot of money if you’re just adding up the cents for an individual package, but when you factor in this fee to your profit margin calculations, you’ll probably see a noticeable difference.
What’s the next step for sellers?
Sellers don’t have to let Amazon call all the shots where their bottom line is concerned; with a tool like a Shopkeeper to give them data on sales and profits in real-time, they can stay ahead of the curve. Shopkeeper already offers a 14-day free trial, but anyone who wants to see if it’s right for them can now try a 30-day extended free trial. | <urn:uuid:afd5f6c0-1f30-4bbe-afa3-2a7e8c7cfa20> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://technologers.com/amazons-third-party-sellers-struggling-with-fee-increases-in-2022/ | 2023-09-28T17:54:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.946823 | 1,349 |

My interest in tech started in high school, rooting and flashing my Motorola Defy, but I really fell down the rabbit hole when I realised I could overclock the i7 930 in my Gigabyte pre-built PC. This tinkering addiction eventually lead me to study product design in university. I think tech should improve the lives of the people using it, no matter the field. I like to read and write about laptops, smartphones, software and trends in technology.

In a significant development that has raised alarm among cybersecurity experts, the Mozilla VPN client for Linux has been detected to have a critical flaw, as reported by a security engineer at Linux distro maker SUSE.
This vulnerability is present in version 2.14.1 of the client, released on May 30. The risk stems from a broken authentication check, allowing users to exploit the VPN client.
The vulnerability can have a far-reaching impact, as the potential consequences range from the unauthorized configuration of arbitrary VPN setups to redirecting network traffic to external parties.
The existing VPN configurations can break as a result of this impact. This risk seems to be concerning shared information systems involving multiple users.
Online miscreants can exploit this flaw to wreak havoc and compromise sensitive data. Although this flaw seems to be serious, there’s no publicly released fix available to users. This raises questions about the urgency of addressing the issue and the disclosure process.
The vulnerability came to light through a post on the Openwall security mailing list by Matthias Gerstner, who identified a broken authentication check in the Mozilla VPN client.
The flaw is present in the privileged Mozilla VPN Linux daemon process, which contains incorrect authorization logic related to Polkit. Previously, this was known as PolicyKit, and it is an authorization API for privileged programs.
Any User Account Can Access Privileges Without Authentication Check
According to Gerstner, the authentication check wrongly asks Polkit to determine whether the privileged Mozilla VPN D-Bus service is authorized to perform the action rather than the user.
Consequently, the D-Bus service, which operates with root privileges, naturally passes the authorization check. This allows any user account, not considering the privileges, to use it.
The impact is that arbitrary local users can configure arbitrary VPN setups using Mozilla VPN and thus possibly redirect network traffic to malicious parties, pretend that a secure VPN is present while it actually isn’t, perform a denial-of-service against an existing VPN connection or other integrity violationsMatthias Gerstner
Besides, Gerstner raised concerns about the absence of Polkit authorization checks for various other D-Bus methods. These include deactivate(), firewallClear(),runningApps(), cleanupLogs(), and getLogs().
These unauthenticated D-Bus methods allow users to carry out functions that need authentication.
Talking about the disclosure process, Gerstner said that on May 4, the issue was disclosed to Mozilla privately. However, it was not until June 12 that any response was received.
Later, it was discovered that the flaw had been disclosed in a GitHub pull request to the Mozilla VPN repository. Mozilla failed to respond properly, although inquiries were made about coordinated disclosure.
Since 90 days have passed, SUSE decided to publicly disclose the flaw on August 3. Subsequently, Mozilla assigned the CVE-2023-4104 identifier to the issue.
How Does Mozilla Plan To Address The Issue?
In the upcoming 2.16.0 version, Mozilla VPN, considered one of the best VPN services around, has plans to address the vulnerability. They would eliminate the Polkit authentication to fix the flaw.
However, this change still fails to address the unauthenticated D-Bus APIs, which have a potential scope of being misused by local users.
Mozilla further aims to bolster authentication in v2.17.0, which they will release in the next couple of months. After this update, D-Bus callers would require the CAP_NET_ADMIN permission or the UID associated with the user who activated the connection.
Although these fixes have been suggested, Gerstner stated that currently, there is no information on how or when the authorities are likely to address other potential information leaks mentioned in the advisory. | <urn:uuid:c7d40132-6cac-466f-9832-2f98563444de> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://techplayce.com/news/alarm-raised-over-flaw-in-mozilla-vpn-client-allowing-unauthorized-exploitation/ | 2023-09-28T17:39:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.935206 | 774 |
A feverish timetable of club football in front of the World Cup is interfered with this week as public groups triumph ultimately a last opportunity to finetune their arrangements prior to heading out to Qatar for the beginning of the competition on November 20.
A chaotic timetable of club football in front of the World Cup is interfered with this week as public groups triumph when it’s all said and done a last opportunity to finetune their arrangements prior to going to Qatar for the beginning of the competition on November 20. Holding the World Cup in the European season is having significant ramifications for clubs yet additionally for mentors of public groups.
While homegrown rivalries endure the worst part of the commotion to the schedule as they are compelled to end seven days before the initial game in Qatar, that additionally implies there will be close to no time for crews to cooperate prior to starting their Reality Cup crusades.
Additional significance is hence put on occasions throughout the following week, as European sides total the UEFA Countries Association bunch stage while different competitors play amicable matches, remembering consecutive games for Brazil for French soil against Ghana and Tunisia.
Ruling title holders France are planning to safeguard the crown they won in Russia in 2018 while at the same time attempting to try not to be consigned from the top level of the Countries Association.
Les Bleus, who won the Countries Association keep going year, have Austria on Thursday and visit Denmark on Sunday expecting to dominate both matches to make certain of staying in Association A.
However, France mentor Didier Deschamps has various issues, not least wounds to central participants including Paul Pogba – – he is recuperating from a knee activity which has left him confronting a test of skill and endurance to be good for Qatar.
He will do all that to attempt to be fit as fast as could really be expected, notwithstanding the absence of time, Deschamps told telecaster TF1 on Sunday.
It is likewise too soon to say on the off chance that a question between Kylian Mbappe and the French Football League over picture privileges could influence crew resolve, with the Paris Holy person Germain star declining to partake in a photograph shoot on Monday.
France’s most recent crew includes a few new faces who are expecting to jump all over their opportunity to dazzle before definite records should be submitted to FIFA by November 13.
Toney gets Britain possibility
Britain director Gareth Southgate has given an open door to Brentford forward Ivan Toney as the Euro 2020 other participants play Italy and Germany in Countries Association A3.
Like France, Britain experienced a progression of unfortunate outcomes in June thus sensibly need to dominate both of these matches to stay away from transfer to Association B.
Be that as it may, Southgate will run the standard over an extended 28-man crew in light of Qatar.
A piece of the reasoning is that we are extremely near a World Cup and we feel, in spite of the fact that our outcomes were frustrating in the late spring, we have singled out the premise of structure and capacity over an extensive stretch, Southgate said the week before.
Spain and Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal will get ready for the World Cup by meeting in Braga on September 27 in a game that could conclude which of the Iberian neighbors advances to the Countries Association finals next June.
In the mean time, straight from marking another four-year bargain, Ribs chief Robert Page has named Los Angeles FC’s Gareth Bundle in his crew for games against Belgium and Poland.
Pay attention to the most recent melodies, just on JioSaavn.com
Ribs look set to be consigned from their Countries Association bunch as well, however that isn’t something that will concern them a lot before they return to the World Cup stage interestingly beginning around 1958.

Here’s everything about the differences between competitive programming and real-life programming:
In competitive programming, you work within constraints chosen by the competition hosts and try to create code as fast as possible that meets the criteria.
In real-life programming, you worry less about speed and constraints and instead focus on finding unique solutions to problems.
Real-life is much broader.
So if you want to learn all about how competitive and real-life programming differ from each other, then you’ve come to the right place.
Let’s dig right in!
- Competitive Programming: Why Fun & Not Fun?
- Competitive Programming: Waste of Time?
- 177 Funny Programmer, Developer, and Coding Team Names List
What Is Competitive Programming? (3 Competitions)
Let’s start this journey by talking a little bit about what these ideas are on their own.
Competitive programming is basically a sport where the contestants write code that performs a specific function when compiled.
Before you get upset with me over semantics, I mean to suggest that coding competitions have people compete in a highly regulated environment, much like many sports.
Different competitions have prices, including cash prizes, and people who fancy themselves good enough at programming go for it.
One major difference between this and a major sport is the level of organizational money involved.
You don’t really have professional competitive programmers.
There is money in the competitions, but it pales in comparison to that of major sports, and for the most part, it’s easier to make a good living doing normal, real-life programming (more on that later).
Perhaps I can clarify what competitive programming is a little better by looking at some of the most prestigious competitions.
Topcoder is probably the most well-known programming competition organization in the business.
They host plenty of different competitions, including weekly events, but the most prestigious is the Topcoder Open (TCO).
It’s an annual competition between the best Topcoder competitors.
The Open is held in person (whereas qualifying tournaments are largely held online).
During the Open, competitors are all given a single challenge.
The challenge is unique for each event, but the competitors are typically tasked with writing a program within certain constraints.
They then compete to see who can produce the program in the shortest amount of time.
Pursuing their code works, the fastest competitor wins.
CodeChef is another big name in the business, and this group hosts monthly competitions.
The format and challenges in CodeChef are similar to those provided by Topcoder.
The major difference here is that a separate organization provides different opportunities to competitors.
As an example, CodeChef has something they call Long Challenges.
In these challenges, competitors have 10 days to complete their program and ensure that it works.
Bitwise is an annual team coding competition.
It focuses on coding in C or C++ programming languages, and the overall competition includes several different challenges.
The competition caps an entire international festival that revolves around programming, and winning Bitwise competitions is great for notoriety and prestige.
While that’s true for any major competition, winning at Bitwise can probably help you launch an international career as a programmer.
What Is Real-Life Programming?
Real-life programming is not a technical term.
It’s not something you need to look up in a dictionary or on Wikipedia.
This is just a generic phrase that is trying to convey the idea of professional programming that isn’t related to competitive programming in any way.
On the surface, this might seem like an easy thing to understand, but the truth is that programming is a huge topic, a massive industry, and an extremely varied skill set.
Real-life programming could include jobs related to software development.
It could center on building databases, designing phone apps, programming robots, improving guidance systems, medical imaging, and many more professional applications.
It’s a lot. But, all of these extremely different applications of programming have a few things in common.
First, they still follow the same basic principles of programming (more on that in a bit).
Second, they’re all professional applications.
So, as I compare competitive programming to the rest of the field, the one overarching theme is that I’m not really talking about hobby programming.
That’s certainly a big topic in its own right, but we’re excluding it for today’s conversation.
How Are Competitive & Real-Life Programming Alike? (3 Principles)
One way we can better understand the distinctions between competitive programming and real-life programming is to first understand how they are alike.
In a general sense, they’re both aspects and applications of programming.
You’ll see a lot of the same skills and knowledge applied to both.
Most of all, they follow the same root principle: solving problems.
#1 Problem Solving
Let’s dig into that a little deeper.
The point of programming is to find a way to get a computer to carry out a task.
That process of figuring out how to instruct the computer is essentially applied problem-solving.
It’s the same kind of logic you used in your math classes when they asked you those clunky word problems.
A programmer might be telling a computer how to render an image so that the photos you take look right.
They might be giving a computer a set of instructions that can solve complicated math problems.
There are endless scenarios, but in every case, you have to understand the basic problem that the computer can solve.
That is the most fundamental aspect of programming, and it applies to real life and competitions.
One step up from problem solving—in the hierarchy of programming fundamentalism—is code.
Competitions and real-life programs use the same languages (for the most part). That means that the syntax and raw code are very similar between the two.
We’ll get into how some of the programming structures differ in a bit, but if you took a single line of code from a competition and a single line of code from a professional program, it would be impossible to tell which belongs to which setting without more information.
At the root level, code is code.
#3 Fundamental Skills
There’s a lot of crossover in the basic skills that are used in competition and real life.
Language proficiency, data structures, algorithms, objects, and more are essential aspects of writing code that are necessary whether you’re competing or just clocking in for the day.
There are specific, specialized skills that may not apply very evenly to both (like systems engineering), but at the very basic level, writing code is writing code (don’t crucify me yet, software engineers, I’ll get into major differences soon).
Since the programs for competitions and for real life are built out of a lot of the same coding building blocks, the skills necessary to write and arrange those blocks are also very similar regardless of your programming setting.
What Are the Key Differences Between Competitive and Real-Life Programming? (4 Differences)
It would not be surprising to see someone who works as a programmer for a living succeed in programming competitions and vice versa because of the similarities I just showed you.
That said, as soon as you get away from very base-level comparisons, differences appear, and they are major.
Crossover skills aside, the work you do in a competition is very different from the work you do in real-life programming.
There are endless ways we could make this comparison, but I’m going to boil it down to the four most notable differences.
This is so important because the very beginning point for programming is completely different in competition.
A competition is essentially a race to see who can solve a computer problem the fastest and most effectively.
To set up such a competition, you kind of need to know what the right solution is from the get-go, and that’s the case.
The people running the competition and designing the problems already know the solution.
Because of that, everyone in the competition knows that there is a reliable, efficient solution to the problem.
Their job is to find it as quickly as they can.
In the real world, things are quite the opposite.
As a programmer, you are presented with a problem or a need.
You’re supposed to solve it, even if no one ever has before.
You’re never guaranteed an outcome, and you might have to invent brand new ideas along the way in order to make your program work.
You don’t always have to reinvent the wheel in the real world, but the point is that you don’t have any certainty.
It’s on you to foray into the unknown and produce results. You might not know where to start or where to go.
That uncertainty changes the entire attitude and outlook for your programming process.
Unless you’re trying to earn your entire living from coding competitions, the stakes for the competition aren’t very high.
If you win, that’s great; the rewards can be substantial.
But if you lose, you just didn’t win a competition. No big deal. Try again next time.
With real-life coding (remember that we’re excluding hobby coding right now), the stakes are usually a lot higher. If your program fails, it could put your job at stake.
Even if it doesn’t, it can cost clients, the company, and possibly you a whole lot of money dealing with the fallout from failure.
Even worse, some programs carry extremely heavy responsibilities.
If you’re working on code that manages national defense systems or the power grid, failure could quite literally be deadly.
The stakes couldn’t get any higher.
Now, that doesn’t mean you’re breaking into a stress-sweat every time you write a new line of code, but there is a sense of responsibility with real-life programming that doesn’t usually exist in the competitive environment.
#3 Efficiency and Simplicity
In theory, the concepts of efficiency and simplicity drive good code in a universal way.
If two solutions create the same outcome, the simpler one is usually preferred.
It’s easy enough to understand.
In competitive programming, efficiency and simplicity are everything.
When you’re under a clock, efficient and simple code is faster to write.
It can also run things faster, and that can matter too.
Ultimately, the most efficient, simple answer that solves the problem is going to get the top score, fastest time, and victory.
That’s really all there is to it.
In real life, getting a reliable solution matters more than anything else, and it’s not always easy to put up some elegant, hyper-efficient solution from the get-go.
Instead, programmers are looking for any system that functions, and then other programmers or engineers might refine those ideas over time.
But, efficiency out of the gate is certainly not what matters the most.
If you have to Frankenstein some unique solution together just to make any headway on a problem, then that’s what you’re going to do.
Real-life programming is almost entirely results-driven.
Interestingly enough, there are plenty of cases where rough, inelegant code sticks around for a long time simply because it works and is reliable.
#4 Everything Beyond Code
In a competition, it’s all about speed, and that means that competitive programmers focus primarily on creating algorithms and putting them together to compile.
There’s not a lot of time left for anything else.
Real-life programming couldn’t be any different.
By all means, programmers write plenty of code, but it’s only part of the job.
The goal of real-life programming is to produce stable programs that are easy to understand and maintain (at least to the extent that these things are possible).
In order to do that, you have to spend time on things other than just algorithms and writing out code.
As an example, creating notes can be a significant time sink for many programmers working on professional projects.
In many of these projects, you have multiple programmers collaborating on a single bit of software or functionality, and oftentimes, they never work together face to face.
This kind of setup necessitates good notation on the code so that they all understand what each piece is accomplishing.
Maintaining programs is also an important job for many professionals in the field.
If you’re supposed to maintain modern, complicated software, you’re only going to stand a chance if there are good notes throughout the code.
And, notation is only one of the multiple tasks that demand time from programmers.
They have to work with clients, attend meetings, take care of administrative and logistical tasks, and do all of the other stuff that comes with working in a professional environment, regardless of one’s job title. | <urn:uuid:f48ed3bb-137b-4888-af50-9afbb52f5cea> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://techwithtech.com/competitive-vs-real-life-programming-differences/ | 2023-09-28T17:34:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.94307 | 2,781 |
The scourge of varroa mites is almost inevitable if you have been a beekeeper for any considerable amount of time. Knowing how to treat this infestation is life, no, bee saving.
Chemical treatments involving formic acids, oxalic acids, and Thymol have higher treatment efficacy. But using less evasive methods like installing screened bottom boards, sprinkling powdered sugar, creating breaks in broods, and even introducing mite-resistant stock should be considered first.
Beekeepers’ techniques to get rid of a varroa mite infestation can generally be categorized into cultural approaches, mechanical, chemical, and natural treatments. A combination of these is what most current literature supports maintaining a higher efficacy with fewer instances of the mites developing resistance against them. This holistic treatment is known as Integrated Pest Management.
What Are The Treatments For Getting Rid Of Varroa Mites?
Varroa destructors are currently some of the most insidious pests infirming honeybees. These mites have a long history in the United States. Beekeepers widely scrutinize them because of their ability to sneakily reproduce in the same cells as the growing worker and drone bees.
The ability of varroa mites to reproduce in capped brood while evading chemical treatments makes it necessary for concerned beekeepers to know other effective treatments. Eradicating the presence of these mites can help keep your entire bee colony healthy by protecting it from the slew of deadly viruses they introduce.
Varroa mite population control helps maintain the metabolism of your bees year-round. Therefore, the careful execution of controlling the mites is so crucial. As a honey farmer, you need to be monitoring the levels of destructors in your colonies to determine if there is a need for treatment and be able to initiate the most appropriate treatment type.
It is generally accepted to measure the average population of mites which is usually the number of mites for every 100 bees. This measurement is often done on a monthly schedule so that the number of mites observed on developed worker bees begins to exceed a set threshold.
Having a low mean abundance affords you the ability not to introduce an aggressive treatment, and you can control the low mite population through cultural and chemical methods. This information is vital to have in mind as we work through each possible treatment that you can then take and tailor to your bee yard needs.
Many treatments that can be easily and quickly implemented are fortunately available in the market:
- Integrated Pest Management (IPM). This approach combines several differing protocols for treating pests. This technique reduces the odds of the pests developing a chemical resistance as could happen if a single treatment is continually reused.
- Medication. This is the most common way that pests were dealt with in the past, but it is now understood as a measure that should be implemented as a last protective resort because this frequent use of a single medication can reduce its effectiveness.
- Natural treatments. With the introduction of IPM, different and effective natural practices for controlling the plague of varroa mites have been given the spotlight once again.
- Plastic strips. This trickier treatment requires beekeepers to use plastic strips injected with chemicals.
- Mechanical control. This is a significant player in the IPM methodology, and it is essential for good reasons. This approach only involves the changes in the management of your beekeeping practices instead of reliance on potentially harmful chemicals.
- Mite Resistant Bees. If pests are a huge issue in your bee colonies, then getting new stock resistant to varroa mites or learning how to help your bees resist this infestation can help.
Integrated Pest Management For Higher Treatment Efficacy
The IPM practice has different levels that incorporate some treatments along the pest control spectrum. This unified approach utilizes long-term pest and damage prevention strategies as its goal.
This holistic management focuses on cultivating a healthier attitude in identifying, observing, and dealing with pest issues before treatments. This creates an environment that allows for a more natural population life.
Cultural Approach For A More Natural Varroa Mite Treatment
This type of approach is mostly tailored toward decreasing the reproduction rate of pests. Buying mite-resistant honey bee stock, availing of small cell comb, and providing a brood break is all cultural control for preventing and controlling a varroa mite infestation.
Purchasing Stock With Resistance
Bees with mite resistance can help limit chemical resistance for varroa mite population control. Several different stocks with this resistance have been developed and bred. European honey bees have had the most prolonged contact with ectoparasitic mites, while American bees have been plagued by these only since 1987.
1. Russian Bees
Russian bees can suppress varroa mites from reproducing more than other bees. This ability slows the increase of the population of mites by impeding mite reproduction. This phenomenon can be observed through reduced infestation of broods and cells.
Other bees inoculated using the mite-vectored deformed wing virus displayed stunted viral replication.
2. Varroa Sensitive And Hygienic Bees
These bees, sensitive to varroa mites, can quickly identify and eliminate eggs that have mite infection. This also helps them recognize and clean out dead brood much quicker than other bees, making them hygienic. This removal skill possibly makes them better at ridding beehives of mites.
The hygienic and mite-sensitive bees can tell that the mites are not only present in the hive but are also intrusive entities.
3. Biting Bees
This brood type is also known as leg chewers or ankle bites because of their mite-biting ability. This characteristic of injuring and killing the mites can be seen through the pests that have died and fallen past the screen and onto a sticky board.
You can use these dead mites to work out the proportion that the bees have killed to see if the colony has this ability and has it to what degree of potency.
Besides importing bees from Europe that have cultivated a mite resistance, you can utilize a smaller cell comb.
Implement Smaller-Sized Cell Combs
Due to industrialization and modernization, the size of the hexagon cells has been manufactured more significantly to produce more giant bees capable of creating more honey. This larger-sized commercial foundation is in opposition to what you observe in nature.
Wild bees tend to have combs built from hexagonal cells that are smaller in size. These small cells are said to have a proportional mite population size. This decrease in mite reproduction in the cells results from a shorter post-capping period.
Although the efficacy of this method is still debated, it is not harmful to the bees to still implement it.
Create A Break In The Brood Cycle
Facilitating a break in the brood involves removing or caging the queen bee for around three weeks. At the same time, the queen is out; the entire brood hatches and forces the infestation out towards the adult bees. Adult bees increase their grooming behavior when there is no brood, and this helpful trait can be made more potent by combing it with a screened bottom board.
This process can have tremendous effects on available space for the varroa mite to reproduce. The potency of this technique increases if the brood break is time correctly and could potentially relieve the bees of stress and provide the colony with a young queen for the winter season.
The positive thing about using this method is that it can be pretty effective in stomping out mite reproduction, but it can negatively affect the colony and slow honey production.
Combining this method with some chemical treatment can significantly impact the population of varroa mites in your bee yard.
Mechanical Approach As A Chemical-free Varroa Mite Treatment
Mechanically manipulating the colony can be a powerful alternative for effectively controlling varroa mites. Stacking a number of these mechanical techniques increases their potency.
Trapping The Varroa Mites
This process uses the mites’ preferences for drone brood for reproducing. Using the drone brood as a trap and removing them works wonders. You can add a drone comb to a colony to encourage drone production, which you can then use as a trap for the mites.
Simply removing the trap comb before the drone can emerge successfully removes the mites from reproducing in the cells. You can then freeze the drone brood or scrape it off the frame and return it to the colony.
Trapping the mites does reduce their reproduction and lengthens the time they take to reach the population threshold. However, it is adequately effective in controlling varroa mites when used with the other treatments.
You can clear out many mites using this method, but it does take the colony much energy to raise a frame’s worth of drones. This steals resources that you could use to raise younger bees, draw out wax or produce honey.
The procedure could also backfire if you forget to remove the frame of drones because you will have an environment ripe for mite breeding.
Use Screened Bottom Boards
The bees’ natural movement and grooming cause mites to drop out of the colony themselves. These mites fall onto the solid wood at the bottom and can climb back up. Replacing this solid wooden board with a screened bottom board reduces the likelihood of returning pests and lowers the number of mites found in the brood.
This method is excellent because it doesn’t disrupt the daily life of the bees but does fail to remove a lot more mites than other methods that you could be doing. It can also affect brood breeding during cold seasons because you have inevitably created the window.
Again, like all the techniques used in pest management, the screen bottom board should be part of an overall control regime incorporating various of these methods.
Sprinkle Powdered Sugar On The Bees
Applying powdered sugar stimulates the bees grooming behavior, making this an ideal method for mite control. Beekeepers end up with more mites being collected on the bottom boards due to the efficacy of this process, but this process increases labor.
It is helpful to know that this technique can be used on bees that have been removed from the hive equipment. Unfortunately, this method can also be quite labor-intensive, but it does go quite well with the screened bottom board technique.
You could also sprinkle any other safe form of dust (talc, for example), as this method can be described as the fine dust method. It inhibits the piggybacking nature of matured mites as it covers adult bees with inert dust particles, which causes the mites to lose their grip.
Chemical Approach For Some Expedient Varroa Mite Treatment
Varroa mites rapidly reproduce during summer and spring, leading to a population boom in the fall. Bee farmers often use chemical miticides to control this spread over winter if the economic threshold has been breached.
The Integrated Pest Management system leans more into using soft chemicals whenever their application is feasible.
Use Soft Chemicals
Chemicals derived naturally are considered soft chemicals. These chemicals are preferred over complex chemicals because they don’t leave a waxy chemical residue in the hive products. These soft chemicals include organic acids, hop beta acids, and essential oils.
Use Mite-Away II (Formic acid)
This chemical naturally occurs in the honey bee venom and is a part of honey. When used at high concentrations and temperatures between 55 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit, it can penetrate the wax capping and kill the mites.
Formic acid can come as Mite Away Quick Strips and is applied over the wax pad, but it also does come available in gel packs but is acidic and challenging to administer.
Use Oxalic acid
Plants produce this compound. You can use the chemical as a home mix vapor or dribble formulation to kill off the mites. It fails to penetrate past the wax capping and is ideal for being used during periods without broods.
Use Apiguard (Thymol)
This essential oil chemical has been formulated from the thyme plant. It also fails to penetrate the cell capping to the mites reproducing in broods and is primarily helpful in controlling mites on adult bees. This treatment is environment-dependent, with efficacy varying according to the colony’s strength and the environmental conditions.
Apiguard comes packaged as slow-releasing gel matrices, which aid in getting an effective dosage of the thymol active ingredient. This treatment is easier to implement and safer than caustic formic acid.
Use Hops Beta Acids
This chemical is formulated from the hops plant, and the potassium salts are safe to be used even during the honey flow. It is most effective when there is less brood to contend with, as it cannot penetrate the cell capping. Although efficacy is not as high as that of the other soft chemicals, it is not environmentally or temperature-dependent but does require multiple applications on broods.
Synthetic acaricides or miticides seem to be some of the most potent chemical treatments. These synthetic chemicals can clear out 95 % of the mite population.
The most popular of these is Amitraz. In its original form, the acaricide does exist as a honey or wax contaminant. Unfortunately, there are variations of metabolites that do naturally persist as contaminates, which could be linked to viruses that increase the brood mortality rate.
Similar to some miticides that were most commonly used in the past, such as fluvalinate and coumaphos, Amitraz has some resistance.
Medicating For Eradicating Varroa Mites
For the majority of beekeepers that aren’t practicing the IPM method, using chemicals to kill mites is the only tried and tested avenue. Once you notice the beginning stages of a mite infestation, promptly begin treating any bee colony using the directions on the effective miticides of your choosing.
It is wise to alternate between a number of these to avoid giving the mites time to develop resistance. You should also not use any medication treatment on the bees if there are honey supers. Treatment would contaminate the honey and make it toxic to humans. Although, bees will still be able to consume the honey without any health issues.
1. Use Packaged Apistan
Apistan or fluvalinate comes in chemically-imbued strips. You should hang two of these strips in your chosen brood chamber to be positioned close to the brood. You want the bees to come into contact with the strips by themselves. Close contact between the bees is what spreads the miticide.
2. Use CheckMite+
Because of Fluvalinate tolerance, CheckMite+ has been one of the many newly developed miticides. It is also manufactured, packaged, and presented almost the same way to Apistan. However, it is trickier to use safely and is catered only to experienced beekeepers.
Utilizing Natural Means To Combat Varroa Mites
Chemicals are not always the ideal route in treating pests because of all the dangers and health risks their ease of access and use inherently come with. On top of dusting the beehive with powdered sugar, using screened bottom boards, and introducing mite-resistant bees.
Use Natural Herbs And Plants
The active soft chemical ingredient Thymol is extracted from the thyme plant. Thus, there can be benefits in using thyme to deter pests. Planting thyme and other essential oil plants around your hive could be a pleasant and aesthetic cure for pest-induced headaches.
Mechanical Control Mite-Control Tactics
As we have already learned from the IPM section, mechanical control methods can be very effective when implemented alongside a few other varroa mite control practices.
The main mechanical control methods are:
- Screened bottom boards.
- Drone-brooding trapping.
- Inert dust or the powdered sugar method.
- Introducing mite-tolerant stocks.
- Practice hygienic behavior. This reduces the likelihood of varroa parasitism through breeding bees that show traits that tend towards colony hygiene.
- Introduce Varroa Sensitive Hygiene stock. These are the bees that are created to detect and remove varroa mites.
- Split the bee colonies. This works by reducing the number of possible hosts for the varroa mites and reducing the number of mites. Dividing the colonies into smaller colonies with their queen makes it possible to raise more bees overall.
Selectively Using Mite-resistant Stock For Pest Control
Using bees, like Russian bees, has been proven to be a very effective method of combating pest infestation. Importing European bee stock is advisable if you don’t wish to pour in more human resources or resort to bio-weaponry in your bee colonies.
The Russian strains of bees are over twice as resistant to mites compared to other commercial bee stocks.
How To Monitor The Proliferation Of Varroa Mites
Before deciding on what treatment to use in your colony to fight the scourge of mites, it is essential to know to what degree the intervention is required. The first step toward any treatment regime is knowing the mite population in your beehives.
Proper inspection is required because many beekeepers often miss varroa mites during regular beehive inspections until a noticeable population boom is noticed.
Mites prefer drone brood and can mostly be found by checking sealed drone cells. It would help if you split the separate hive boxes to open drone cells for inspection because bees usually build their drone combs in between the boxes.
Look through the white pupae and pay attention to any coppery brown mites.
Immediate steps should be taken if there is an infection. Spotting and acting on infection in its early stages often reduces the work required if you only spot them later.
Use The Sticky Board Method
This is one of the most sensitive methods for sampling the varroa mite population. You can buy a commercial sticky board that comes as a pre-applied adhesive and sampling illustrated on the surface.
However, some beehive boxes have their screened bottom boards with a plastic sheet that can be sprayed with vegetable oil and inserted into them. You can also make your sticky board from wooden frames with an attached screen. Once constructed, you can put contact paper at the base and spray it with vegetable oil.
This sheet prevents the bees from cleaning away the mites. You leave the sticky board for 24 hours and come back to count the number of varroa mites on it. Depending on the size of your colony, if the number is between 60 and 190 mites, then treatment measures might need to be taken.
Use The Alcohol Wash Method
To properly use this technique, you need to pour an inch or two of rubbing alcohol into a 1-pint clear container that can be closed.
You then shake or gently brush about 200 adult bees into the container and then count the number of mites you may find on them, as the mites do like to hitchhike on adult bees to move around. This batch of bees should be from a frame with a developing brood because mites hitchhike to find broods.
To find the mites, you need to put in some elbow grease, shake the container thoroughly for about half a minute and note the number of mites that are either dead or alive at the bottom. Commence with treatment if you find ten or more mites per 200 bees. This method isn’t too great because you will probably lose those honey soldiers.
Use The Powdered Sugar Shake Method
You use this technique to check the approximate percentage of adult bees carrying mites without having to massacre the bees. You use a jar with a screened lid and fill it with 300 sugar-coated bees.
Once the prep is done, you let the container sit for a few minutes and shake it over a white surface. Once you have gotten all the mites you can from the shaking, you then spray the mites with water to make counting them easier. Do at least three samples for a more scientific estimation.
As the mite population threshold varies per season, you may want first to find out the correct threshold for your colony. If the percentage of mites you get from this method exceeds it, you may also want to begin treatment.
With all of these pest therapies available, you no longer have to worry about having ruined beehives and developing split ends over worries of losing stock. Combining these therapies appears to be the all-around best and most effective route.
Integrated Pest Management is beneficial for stocks susceptible to these pest invasions to having a nuclear situation around the bee yard. Combing several different mechanical and cultural therapies can take away the dread of maintaining healthy stock. | <urn:uuid:c2226a97-f74f-4942-b430-5d2b6aa300ac> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://teddybearshoney.com/how-to-get-rid-of-varroa-mites/ | 2023-09-28T18:00:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.924739 | 4,326 |

A new spur of the Ozark Trail offers a unique hike and paddle opportunity to explore the Current River landscape through a national park and two state parks.
The self-guided Current River Challenge starts from the trailhead across Missouri Highway 19 from the Round Spring Upper Access in the Ozark National Scenic Riverways. The trail goes upstream 4.5 miles on the new Upper Current Section of the Ozark Trail to Echo Bluff State Park. The second leg of the trail continues 4.5 miles to Current River State Park. From there you paddle 4 miles back to Round Spring on the beautiful Current River. The loop makes it a shuttle-free trip.
Built by volunteers with the Ozark Trail Association, the new section was completed last October. The path is well-marked with bright orange blazes.
“This opens up an awesome recreational opportunity beyond float season,” said Kathie Brennan, president of the Ozark Trail Association. “It goes through some neat areas of forest that you would probably never see. You can do it in a day or break it up by hiking to Echo Bluff and spending a night there.”
You can do this trip any time of year, but the hike is more enjoyable in cooler weather. In May, the trail through the white oak and shortleaf pine forest was littered with wildflowers and butterflies.
Between Echo Bluff and Current River State Park the trail climbs up to the sandstone and limestone bluffs above the river. Total elevation gain is around 1,100 feet. The gorgeous view over the valley is worth the effort. At the end of the trail in Current River State Park the descent is very steep. Well-fitted hiking boots with plenty of room for your toes will save you some pain.
If you go during hunting season, wear something bright, ideally blaze orange. Most of the trail is on state park land, except for a short section in the Roger Pryor Pioneer Backcountry above Round Spring that is huntable.
You’ll need to leave a canoe or kayak by the river at Current River State Park before driving down to Round Spring to start the hike. If you rent a boat from Carr’s Canoe Rental at Round Spring, they will leave it for you at the put-in point.
“We have had no problems with boat security,” said Connie Weber, an interpretive specialist for Current River State Park.
The paddle leg goes by quickly in the swift current. Watch for herons, hawks, and other wildlife on the river. About 2.5 miles from the put-in, Sinking Creek comes in on the left. The warmer water makes it a nice place to stop and enjoy the scene.
A map of the challenge is available at the Round Spring Visitor Center and the Ozark Trail Association website. You can find larger scale maps of trail sections with more details in the park brochures for Echo Bluff and Current River State Park.
Stop by the kiosks at the two state parks and Round Spring to stamp your Current River Challenge map as you complete each leg of the trip. When you have completed all three sections, bring your map to the Visitor Center to receive a sticker marking your achievement as a challenge finisher.
If you’re looking for more adventure, longer hike-and-float loops on the Ozark Trail start from the Powdermill Trailhead at Owls Bend. Over five or more days, you can hike 40 miles to Current River State Park and paddle 29 miles back to Owls Bend. It’s a bigger physical and logistical challenge but can be done. Check with the Ozark Trail Association for more information and maps.

A magnetic lead screw (MLS) is a device that can help a wave energy converter (WEC) to transform the low-speed linear wave motion into high-speed rotary motion with no frictional contact. However, the dynamic performance of the MLS is insufficient because only the permanent magnet (PM) is used to couple the magnetic field between the rotor and mover. To improve the dynamic performance of the MLS, a novel structure of an electromagnetic lead screw (EMLS) for the application of a WEC is proposed in this paper. In the proposed EMLS, a helical-shaped PM is mounted on the inner side of the rotor, which is as same as the traditional MLS. However, helical-shaped slots are grooved on the surface of the mover, and two-phase helical-shaped AC winding is placed in these slots to generate the controlled helical-shaped magnetic field. In this paper, the topology and the operating theory are introduced firstly. Then, the three- and its corresponding two-dimensional axis-symmetric finite element analysis model is developed to analyze the performance of the proposed EMLS. Moreover, the design aspects are presented for the realization of the proposed EMLS. Then, the performance of the proposed EMLS is compared with that of the traditional EMLS. From the results, the proposed EMLS shows larger maximum thrust force than the traditional one. Finally, the potential use value and applications in WECs of the proposed EMLS are mentioned. | <urn:uuid:ad7bccff-7827-4041-adb2-feddcad0847c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://tethys-engineering.pnnl.gov/publications/novel-structure-electromagnetic-lead-screw-wave-energy-converter | 2023-09-28T16:55:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.957486 | 315 |
While B2B and B2C are completely different things, many people confuse one for another. A B2B content is aimed towards industries and companies. But content marketing for B2C is aimed to stir consumers’ interest. In content marketing it is important to know the difference between the two. This way, the right audience is exposed to the right type of content.
The subtle difference between both the terms is better illustrated below:
1 – B2B blog content should be very informative and properly explain all the benefits associated with a specific product or a service to their prospective client. They should also inform how the brand can help to improve the client’s business.
Normally businesses are not like consumers and mostly they avoid impulse purchases. They do calculated purchases of those products and services which can help their business grow. Such a step can help them be more efficient and profitable. Such content marketing tactic also helps them keep ahead of their competitors.
2 – B2C content is specifically written for the end consumers who are going to use a particular product or service for his/her own self. Therefore it should be entertaining and eye-catching. The entertainment factor is a key content marketing success factor when engaging with consumers.
Also, the content should be informative and provide some value to the reader. The content should be enticing as consumers are supposed to be impulsive buyers and they tend to splurge on lifestyle goods. By providing a guarantee of your product or service, you can put the consumers at ease and thereby build a trust on your brand.
Although these two styles of content marketing are very different from one another, it is still possible to repurpose the content to target a fresh audience. Firstly you should know your writing styles and how they can merge. By mixing your above qualities, you can post an article to target both B2B and B2C customers and sell those products which both of the categories can use.
While repurposing your content, it is evident that everything can’t be used. Some content can be recycled while the rest goes to the waste bin. For example, clever and funny B2C content can also appeal to high-level corporate managements.
However there is a thin line between subtle humor and cheesy puns. Make sure you traverse the lien carefully or your entire content marketing plan can fail.
You have to be extra cautious while deciding which content will suit the corporate people. This is because not each funny and clever thing will appeal to them. The same is true for the other category also.
For example, if you have an entertaining post and want that article to attract to a downtown hip shop in Las Vegas to sell your products. In that case, the content must be informative while keeping the tone light and fun.
Also, it’s essential to include all the important information required for them to know your brand. Don’t forget to include all the statistics and other compelling data as businesses love that. Primarily they want to know how your brand can help grow their businesses and earn a higher profit.
These are some of the things you need to remember while repurposing your content in your content marketing campaign. With this knowledge repurposing becomes easier | <urn:uuid:68f29b04-840c-4593-b514-7a49939930a8> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://textuar.com/blog/repurpose-b2c-content-b2b-content/ | 2023-09-28T17:39:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.95023 | 661 |

One of the movements we’ve been following for some time is activist and teaching artist Tricia Hersey’s The Nap Ministry. The Atlanta-based organizations’ mantra is “rest as resistance” and they are proudly spreading the gospel of rest. The Nap Ministry began in 2016 as an examination of the liberating power of naps and works to directly disrupt capitalism and promote anti-racism. Between her one-woman and group performances, organizing community napping experiences through Resurrect Rest School, and creating content for the must-follow Instagram, Tricia is creating real and virtual safe spaces for us all to unapologetically rest together, even while we’re apart.
“I have noticed this tendency in our culture to skip steps during trauma. We jump right to getting over it immediately, leaving no space for the precious ritual of grief, rest and lament. ”
– Tricia Hersey, The Nap Bishop
The self-titled “Nap Bishop” recently hosted an IG Live with Wanderlust, where she discussed using quarantine as an opportunity to lean into rest and take time to grieve what’s been lost.
During her IG Live with Wanderlust, Tricia shared a tip for acknowledging her grief – the Grief Jar. Consisting of a regular Mason jar and strips of paper, the Jar becomes a vessel to hold your grief and honor your lament without weighing you down mentally and physically.
The Nap Bishop
Tricia Hersey, founder of the Nap Ministry, an interactive project focused on rest as resistance.
Here, The Nap Bishop describes her own Grief Jar:
“Find a small/medium-sized jar or container around your home that can serve as your “Grief Jar.” Place in a prominent area of your living space so that it can become a symbol for the beauty of grief, lament, and mourning. I have a small mason jar on my desk in my home office. Next, cut up pieces of paper large enough to write text and small enough to fold up. Throughout your day and week, take a few moments to notice and allow for moments of grief.
After making space to notice these feelings of missing, write them down on a slip of paper and add it to the jar. Do this as many times as you need to. Skip some days if that feels right. Let the grief jar serve as a container for the particulars, for the now and remembrance of your grief journey. Take a nap or daydream for a few minutes each day that you add to the Grief Jar.
This call to inaction speaks to the intentionality of being still, an integral part of Tricia’s mission to get us all to slow down long enough to see, acknowledge and study the principles of the Nap Ministry. In a recent article on the Nap Ministry blog, Tricia talks about the dream space as a portal to creativity in Octavia Butler is Our Muse. Learn more about the Nap Ministry through the Rest As Resistance blog.

After it was announced a year ago that the Haganai manga adaptation of the light novel “Haganai: I Don’t Have Many Friends” (Japanese: “Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai”) is about to reach the finale, the new edition of the “Comic Alive” magazine has now published the last chapter.
Haganai Manga Adaptation Started in 2010
Mangaka Itachi started the Haganai manga adaptation, which so far consists of 18 volumes, in March 2010 in Media Factory’s “Comic Alive” magazine. The remaining chapters are to be combined in two further volumes, so that volume 20 completes the series. The original light novel by author Yomi Hirasaka and illustrator Buriki ended in August 2015 with the eleventh volume.
The series received an anime adaptation by studio AIC Build, which aired on Japanese television from October to December 2011. An OVA was released in September 2012, followed by a second season in the 2013 winter season.

As per TMZ, the two were spotted this past Thursday (July 15) with Lopez's twins, Max and Emme, 13, at a Holmby Hills house that is on the market for $65 million dollars. The 31,000 square-foot, 8-bedroom, 12-bathroom mansion even includes a bowling alley. This marks their second house-hunting trip after checking out a spot in Santa Monica with the children in tow.
While Affleck was along for the ride, the celebrity gossip outlet pointed out that the new residence is not for the couple. "The two aren’t ready to shack up together...at least not yet," a source told TMZ, adding that the new home is for Lopez and her children.
Meanwhile, another source told Entertainment Tonight that "friends wouldn't be surprised if they move in together and ultimately end up together. "They’re spending all of their free time together and making each other a priority. J.Lo falls hard and has certainly done the same with Ben again this time around," the source explained. "Ben is a guy’s guy and does his own thing, which J.Lo loves. He has his own life and is famous in a different way than she is and is not trying to compete with her by any means. They just support and love each other."
During a recent interview, Lopez spoke about her mindset amid the Bennifer 2.0 reconciliation. "I'm super happy," she declared. "I know people are always wondering, ‘How are you? What’s going on? Are you okay?' This is it. I’ve never been better.' I want my people who care about me — because I care about them so much — to know that I’ve really gotten to a place in my life where I’m great on my own." | <urn:uuid:db1561e3-a93a-4bee-8606-b366a130289e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://thebeat1037.iheart.com/content/2021-07-20-jennifer-lopez-ben-affleck-bring-her-kids-on-a-second-house-hunting-trip/ | 2023-09-28T18:04:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.981309 | 383 |
Peter Hall may not be a familiar name to most of you but hopefully that changes soon, as he is an incredibly talented musician, that is just waiting to be discovered. Some may recognize the name as the person behind the wonderful band Play People who first recorded two EP’s on the brilliant This Almighty Pop! label run by a person with impeccable taste, Stephen Maughan (of Bulldozer Crash, Kosmonaut and The Memory Fades) and a 7” single on another highly regarded label Cloudberry Records (run by Roque Ruiz, who is one of the most knowledgeable people in the indie pop world). So already with a pedigree like that, you know it is going to be excellent and we are immensely proud to have it as a Beautiful Music release.
This EP combines beautiful melodies with intelligent lyrics, and will bring to mind bands like Aztec Camera, The Lilac Time, Elliot Smith, Delta, Captain Soul, January, Paul Weller, and Nick Heyward’s recent release “Woodland Echoes” and probably several other Scottish Pop bands and maybe even with a hint of mod thrown in as an influence. Janglepophub mentions a few more, if you are looking for possible similarities: “the two stripped back tracks of Hold Me and She Fell From The Sky, visit Tame Impala / De Marco style semi chill jangle and piano-less Nick Batterham guitar strums respectively, whilst maintaining definitive originality by adding the sort of smooth, rounded production, that just about slides into sophisti-pop territory.” “However, it is when his music ventures into mid-tempo and increases the ‘surround sound’, that the EP really reaches it’s heights. Blood Flow and Everything is Fading Fast (both below) are able to take their place alongside modern guitar pop luminaries like Dropkick, The Boy With Perpetual Nervousness … as volumes of melodic intent bubble to the surface with a lack of intensity that borders on ‘summer perfect’.”
And to quote When You Motor Away: “We are not particularly familiar with UK artist Peter Hall, but the four tracks on “There’s Something Wrong With Everyone” have made fans of us. This is intimate, carefully crafted and richly melodic indie pop that has lifted our spirits today. We suggest it may well do the same for you. There may be something wrong with everyone, but there is nothing wrong about this EP.”
Give Peter Hall a listen, you will be richly rewarded and as a bonus, we even through in an extra hidden track as a surprise, but you will need to get a copy of the EP to discover that :).

I flew down to New Orleans to be on the set of 'Man Down' starring Shia LaBeouf, Kate Mara, Jai Courtney and Gary Oldman. There is a birthday cake in the film and I was fortunate enough to bring a cake from the Cake Shop to have it featured in a scene.
I brought Cake Bake Shop T-Shirts for the cast. Kate Mara and Jai Courtney were so sweet. Thank you so much having me on the set today. | <urn:uuid:6b2c4e61-f0b0-49d8-9f3c-424561739cc9> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://thecakebakeshop.com/blogs/news/on-the-film-set-of-man-down | 2023-09-28T18:11:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.975489 | 97 |
The Jackson R-2 School Board approved the budget for a $6.1 million junior high construction project, which includes expanding the cafeteria and adding a new library and band room.
The Board rejected the first round of bids for the project in December and rebid the project last month. Superintendent John Link said the first round of bids came in too high, which was mostly caused by the original construction timeline. Originally the project was supposed to be entirely completed before classes started this August.
“We went back to the bidders and made it a little bit easier for them,” Link said. “They had a hard time coming up with bids the first time because we wanted to have it all done by next August. They just didn’t know how to apply overtime and things of that nature, so the bids were pretty high.”
Link said the District worked with the top two bidders from December, Brockmiller Construction and Zoellner Construction to try to find a better timeline for the project. “Both of them saw what we were looking to change, so there should be no hard feelings there,” Link said.
Link added that through the rebidding process, no major revisions were made to the renovation’s design and no square footage was lost during the changes.
Both companies lowered their bids in the second round, with Brockmiller bidding $714,000 less than they original bid and Zoellner bidding $449,000 less than they did in December.
Brockmiller had the lowest bid of $5.07 million, which the Board approved during its February regular meeting. The project budget also includes an addition $1 million in soft costs, including architecture and engineering work, new furniture, new technology and a change order contingency.
“What we talked about from the beginning was trying to keep it within a $6.1 million budget,” Link said. “I’m happy with the bids and that we stayed within that budget.”
He added that work would begin immediately, with Brockmiller beginning work outside the building on the new library and band room additions.
Over the summer, work will move to renovate some of the existing building, with the counselor’s offices being moved near the front office, a new entrance vestibule added, the cafeteria entrances and exits seeing improvements and new restrooms being added.
Link said the addition of the new band and library will hopefully be done by winter break and then the remaining work will be finished summer of 2021.
At that time, the existing band and choir rooms will be combined for choir; the current library will become special education classrooms; the existing special education classrooms will be made into art classrooms; and the current art classrooms will be taken out to expand the cafeteria.
• JHS students Hayley Rosborg, Patrick Malone, Maggie Carter, Lila Rushing and Jeremy Brown were recognized by the Board for being named to the Missouri All-State Choir. Stone Vandeven, who was not at the Board meeting, was also selected to the all-state choir.
After a two-step audition process, 240 Missouri students (80 of which are alternates) were chosen for the choir. Six of the 24 students chosen from the southeast district came from JHS.
Rosborg and Malone spoke about their experience at the Missouri All-State Choir, which met from Jan. 22-25 at the Lake of the Ozarks.
Rosborg, who is a two-year member of the all-state choir, said the experience lived up to her previous involvement and that the choir worked on putting more style into their performance than what was written by the composers.
Malone added that it was a great group of singers from across the state, and they were all prepared and ready to work when they got there. “I think everyone could have sung it by memory in our first run-through,” he said. “It was incredible.”
Two younger Jackson students, Tucker Teague and Gavin Shinn, were also recognized for being a part of the first-ever Missouri All-State Children’s Choir. The children’s choir included fourth and fifth grade students from across the state and performed on Jan. 22.
• The JHS football team was recognized by the Board for its undefeated regular season and competing at the state title game, which Jackson hadn’t previously done since 1995. Many of the team’s players attended the meeting and several students talked to the board about the team and their experiences this season.
Nathan Harrison said the support from the community that the team received was a major factor in their success and that this year’s game against Battle was a highlight for him as a player.
Seth Waters spoke about one of his favorite memories from this year was the home game against Eureka. Waters said he had never heard the crowd at The Pit that loud. He added that the support continued at the state game, where the Jackson crowd couldn’t be ignored.
Caleb Craft said that although the whole season was special, his favorite memory was seeing Jackson Boulevard lined with fans as they left for the state title game.
Randol McDowell talked about the teams hashtag, #ToughSmartStrong. He talked about examples for each word in the hashtag – how it’s tough to wake up at 5 a.m. for practice, how they play smart by watching a lot of film footage and working on their plays and how they constantly built strength in the weight room.
Thomas Ruch spoke about changing positions after a knee injury. He switched from playing as a quarterback to the center position. Coach Brent Eckley said there were several students who moved positions to help the team be better.
In addition, Waters, Mc-Dowell, Cole Amelunke, Ashton Flinn, Bryce Norman, Connor Tollison, and Cael Welker were recognized for being named all-state players. Rhet Liley was also an all-state player but was unable to attend the meeting.
• The District is currently working on a 2021-2026 strategic plan that will include new goals for the District, as well as incorporate the ongoing or unachieved aspects of the current strategic plan.
“We don’t want to get away from our plan, and we don’t want a new plan,” Link said. “We want something that continuously grows.”
Committees will review the plan and timeline through May. A recommended strategic plan for the next five years will be presented to the board for approval in July. The plan will then be able to be presented to staff at the beginning of the next school year.
“Five years ago, when we did this, I think it completely changed the District,” Link said. “It brought the community together with the district and it gave us a focus. People started believing in us, because we put out what we were going to do and we did it. Every time we make a decision, we are still using that plan.”
Interview responses from Board members, teachers, students and community members have found that many of the District’s current strengths came from the last strategic planning process – including the whole child focus, service learning, facility and advances in technology. Other identified strengths are district pride, community support, enthusiasm for the superintendent and the addition of a special education director.
One of the issues that have come up, according to Link, was the stress load of teachers. He added that they are working to fix that.
• May 28-June 18 was named the summer school dates for the upcoming summer. The 16-day program for elementary students will be held at West Lane Elementary School and East Elementary School. The theme this year will be “U.S.A.” in honor of the Olympic games.
Summer school will continue to be held at the middle school, while the high school will house both junior high and high school summer school students, due to the junior high construction. Online summer school classes have grown in popularity and will continue to be offered this year.
• The Board approved two letters of support. The first was on behalf of the City of Jackson, saying the District is in support for the City receiving a grant from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. The grant would help fund lights at the Jackson Soccer Park.
The second letter, addressed to Rich Payne, was in favor of adding post-secondary vocational education opportunities in Southeast Missouri. Payne, who was formerly the director of the Cape Girardeau Career and Technology Center, is currently working as an advocate and lobbyist to bring a post-secondary technical school to the region.
Link said students who want to gain these skills currently have to move away from Jackson to get this further education. No monetary obligation was attached to either letter. | <urn:uuid:a1240c7a-14f1-4dd9-b4a8-a18d2329b96d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://thecash-book.com/news/education/jackson-r-2-board-oks-junior-high-construction-budget-bid/ | 2023-09-28T16:54:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.982752 | 1,838 |
July 2020 – The Casper Rail Trail (Part 1)
The C&NW rail line in Casper was abandoned shortly after the Union Pacific absorbed the C&NW in 1995. The Casper operation had been an island operation for some time, meaning that the railroad had no trackage to Casper anymore, but instead relied on trackage rights to Casper via the Burlington Northern. Some years later (I'm not sure of the exact date, but sometime in the 2000-2012 timeframe) the Casper Rail Trail was built along the old right-of-way.
So along comes 2020, and I've retired back to Casper )I lived here for seven years as a child). The trail has been established for some time.
I've enjoyed exploring various old railroad lines and rail trails over the years (some examples being the old GN line over Stevens Pass in the Cascades - before the Iron Goat trail was established, the Milwaukee Road's abandoned line over Snowqualmie Pass, and the Tybee Island Railroad rail trail near Savannah, GA), so I decided to walk the western half of the Casper rail trail.
The western end of the trail is shown on both traillink.com and google maps to start at Midwest Avenue and Oak Street in downtown Casper, but actually it starts now at Midwest and Ash Street. The unimproved two blocks west of there to Oak has been obliterated by construction of a new building. Here we're looking west from Ash Street:
Just past monument row is one of the busiest intersections the trail crosses - 2nd Street, the main east-west thoroughfare through town, and Kimball Street, which connects Collins Drive (the old Railroad Avenue) to the west, to Yellowstone Highway to the east. On the trail you have to cross Kimball and then 2nd when heading east. The railroad used to cut right across both in the middle of the intersection. Here I'm loooking north and west across the intersection. I've crossed Kimball and am waiting for the light to cross 2nd.
That building across the way is the Commissary Mall. Back when I was a young kid (55 years ago) I think it was a Sears. My mother called it the Sears Commissary, and it's where we did all of our shopping for school clothes (I'll bet you're thrilled to know that!).
Around 800 feet past the 1st Street crossing we come to the intersection of Yellowstone Highway and McKinley Street, where we find this little gem of a sign:
This sign has been here for at least 50 years, and I'm thinking it's been at least ten years longer than that. The Topper Motel has been gone for years, but it's legacy lives on. The sign survives simply because there isn't enough land on this side of the highway to do anything with.
As we're approaching Walsh Drive and the end of our walk for the day, I saw this very old utility pole next to the trail. Is it the remnant of a telegraph line that followed the CNW, or something more recent? All I can tell now is that it's an orphan pole that isn't used for anything anymore. The grade is to the left of the trail in this area.
In the distance, is Walsh Drive, under the I-15 Overpass. I turned right at this point to go to my car parked in the Post Office parking lot a block away.There is precious little of anything railroad-related left along the CNW line through Casper, at least to this point along the trail. At some point I'll walk the remainder of the trail from Walsh Drive east to Hat 6 Road. I'll add that little trek to the website afterwards.

Arts Bites: Nov. 18, 2009
Elvis gains posthumous income via hair sales
Keeping the cult of dead celebrities alive, an anonymous buyer purchased a single strand of Elvis Presley’s hair for over $2,000 this week.
Even more disturbingly, a chunk of the King’s apparently precious locks went for $15,000 last month.
Should you wish to obtain your own piece of Elvis’ mane, his former barber has been selling off strands in a Memphis souvenir shop since 1977. Because that’s not creepy at all.
Looks like there’s a little trouble in the land of milk and honey. After almost 20 years, the estate of Stephen Slesinger – the man who acquired rights to the lovable Winnie-the-Pooh characteries and stories by A.A. Milne over 80 years ago – is still suing Disney for infringing on his rights.
The estate’s lawyers suggest Slesinger is rightfully owed millions in royalties. The case suggests Disney coupled Mickey Mouse franchise profits with that of Winnie-the-Pooh projects to hide its true revenues.
While a Los Angeles judge dismissed the case in 2004, lawyers raised it again last week. Talk about retroactive, considering Disney hasn’t made a decent Winnie-the-Pooh release for 20 years.
Bob Dylan’s Yuletide release
Of the most unexpected things the king of grungy folk and rock-and-roll, Bob Dylan, could have done at this point in his life, releasing a Christmas album is probably among the strangest.
Garnering a variety of somewhat positive reviews from sources like pitchfork.com and the Rolling Stone, Christmas in the Heart is a 15-track full-length mix of traditional songs like “O’ Come All Ye Faithful” and new arrangements like “Christmas Island”, fearing a variety of artists like American songwriter Ray Evans.
What’s more, all of the profit from U.S. sales will go to the charity Feeding America.
Needless to say, hearing Dylan’s raspy vocals mixed with Nat King Cole staple “The Christmas Song” should be an interesting treat.
Super Bowl goes geriatric for sixth year in a row
It’s been revealed that The Who will be playing at this year’s Super Bowl Halftime Show, following on the heels of performers like Bruce Springsteen, the Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney and Tom Petty.
Perhaps it’s time the organizers find a headliner who doesn’t run the risk of keeling over and dying from old age in the middle of a sporting event.
And let’s try to ignore the irony that will ensue when Roger Daltrey proclaims “I hope I die before I get old” in the first verse of “My Generation”. | <urn:uuid:1971f8a9-e59f-4404-9367-119e8296d671> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://thecord.ca/arts-bites-nov-18-2009/ | 2023-09-28T18:38:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.899052 | 643 |
With supply shortages and inflated costs for parts, buying a well-maintained used car is undoubtedly the best option for your wallet. While getting a new car means you’ll have the confidence that the car is not stolen or damaged in any way, you’ll spend a premium on this.
If you’re not a car expert, you may worry about being scammed by a private seller. When looking at a used vehicle, make sure you know the difference between the following easy repairs and issues that are immediate dealbreakers.
The following issues with the car shouldn’t necessarily deter you from making the purchase, but they will cost you extra. Use these to negotiate the price down with the seller, if they haven’t already offered a discount for these issues.
Worn wheels and tires
Tires and wheels aren’t cheap, but they can be replaced incredibly easily. If the tire tread is on its last days and the wheels are rusting and scratched, see if the driver will lower the asking price a little bit.
With the money you save, you’ll be able to get a brand new set.
Minor scratches and dents
While you don’t want to buy anything with massive dents in it (especially those that indicate the car has been in an accident), minor scratches and dents can be repaired easily.
Companies like SMART Repairs will take out small dents without using any paint or filler, resulting in a finish that looks new.
A dirty interior is unappealing, but unless it smells like cigarette smoke, getting the vehicle detailed will leave it looking like new.
Something you should avoid is cracking and stained leather, as this cannot be fixed through cleaning alone. Replacing upholstery can be incredibly costly unless you do it yourself. This DIY project isn’t recommended for those without significant car experience.
If you think you’ve found the right car for you but it has one of the following issues, think again. Though the price may seem right, trying to address these issues after purchase just won’t be worth it.
Transmission issues are incredibly costly to repair. If you hear any strange sounds while driving and switching gears (think grinding, clunking, or whining) then there’s likely an issue.
Likewise, a burning smell or leaking fluid can be indicators of a failing transmission. Expect to spend a couple of grand to repair or replace a transmission. Unless this is pocket money to you, keep looking.
While small rust spots can be repaired and stopped in their tracks, large rust spots will continue to grow.
Driving a vehicle with large areas of rust puts its structural integrity at risk, making it incredibly dangerous to drive.
If the car has dents from considerable damage your insurance company may not insure the vehicle. Though hail-damaged cars may seem like a bargain, an uninsured car is basically worthless.
Don’t skip the inspectionhttps://www.kwik-fit.com/tyres
Even after you’ve conducted your own investigation of the vehicle, make sure you take it in for an inspection before finalizing the purchase. This is the most surefire way to make sure nothing is going on with the car internally. | <urn:uuid:919fcd67-bc16-4297-b8ac-536b613fb380> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://thedailyvoic.com/top-easy-repairs-and-dealbreakers-to-look-out-for-when-buying-a-used-vehicle-funrover/ | 2023-09-28T18:29:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.947351 | 711 |
Today, we delve into the realm of dreams associated with the Taurus Moon. Whether you are anticipating the upcoming new moon in Taurus or reflecting on past experiences during a full moon, these dreams offer valuable insights and connections to your inner world. As a fixed Earth sign ruled by Venus, Taurus brings forth themes of love, abundance, stability, and financial security, which can manifest within the dream realm. In this article, we will explore how Taurus energy influences our dreams and how to interpret their symbolism in relation to relationships, stability, values, and sensory experiences.
Dreams Reflecting Financial Insecurity and Stability
Taurus’ focus on stability and financial security can manifest as dreams that highlight feelings of insecurity or uncertainty in our finances. If you find yourself worried about abundance, paying off debts, or lacking stability, your dreams may reveal these concerns through symbolic scenarios. Pay close attention to the symbols presented and interpret them in relation to your financial situation. Work-related dreams may also occur, emphasizing the need for job security and stability rather than project-oriented ambitions associated with other signs.
Revisiting Personal Value Systems
Taurus encourages us to revisit our personal value systems. If conditioning from society or family has clouded your perception of your own values, these dreams prompt you to tap into your authentic beliefs and reconnect with your true self. Use the dream symbols as guides to uncover and reaffirm your personal values, allowing them to guide your decisions and actions.
The Bull Energy: Groundedness and Stubbornness
The grounded nature of Taurus, often associated with the Bull energy, may surface as stubbornness or hard-headedness within dreams. If you have been experiencing difficulties or conflicts with others, these dreams may shed light on whether you or someone else is exhibiting stubbornness. Reflection on communication patterns, clarity, and the willingness to compromise can help resolve such issues. Taurus’ groundedness also encourages a connection with nature and the senses, leading to dreams that evoke sensual experiences and a deeper appreciation for the pleasures of life.
Crystals, Essential Oils, and Dream Practices
Dreams related to Taurus may present tangible tools, such as essential oils or crystals, as guidance for your waking life practices. Pay attention to scents, images, or sensations experienced in your dreams, as they may correspond to oils or crystals beneficial for your spiritual journey. Crystals like rose quartz, black tourmaline, smoky quartz, and green calcite, as well as essential oils such as Wintergreen, Sandalwood, and Peace blend, can aid in releasing stubbornness, possessiveness, overthinking, and promoting self-love, grounding, and calmness.
Slow and Steady Progress Towards Goals
Taurus embodies a slow and steady energy, emphasizing the importance of patience and consistent effort to achieve long-term goals. Dreams during this period may encourage you to set clear intentions and work persistently towards financial stability, abundance, or harmonious relationships. Celebrating milestones and finding pleasure in the journey is also essential, ensuring you balance your determination with enjoyment and self-care.
Navigating Low Sides and Embracing Positive Traits
While exploring Taurus energy in dreams, it’s crucial to be aware of potential negative aspects. Greed, possessiveness, and laziness may manifest within dreams or even influence your waking life. By acknowledging and understanding these tendencies, you can work towards their resolution. Embracing Taurus’ positive traits, such as groundedness, sensuality, and patience, while focusing on steady growth, allows for a balanced and fulfilling experience.
Aligning with Astrological Cycles and Personal Charts
If your dreams coincide with a new moon or full moon in Taurus, it’s beneficial to consider the specific astrological aspects and house placements within your birth chart. By understanding the area of life highlighted during these lunar phases, you can focus your intentions and align your actions accordingly. Exploring your natal chart and the significance of celestial placements can provide valuable insights into how astrological energies influence your dreams and waking life.
Enhancing Dream Recall and Interpretation
For those struggling with dream recall, establishing a consistent dream journaling practice can be immensely helpful. By documenting your dreams and identifying patterns, you can gain a deeper understanding of the symbolism and messages presented. Prioritize self-reflection and introspection, as dreams offer a gateway to your subconscious and an opportunity for personal growth.

Here is a holistic ritual you can try:
1. Prepare your space: Find a quiet and comfortable space where you can relax and won’t be disturbed. Create a serene atmosphere by lighting candles, burning incense, or using essential oils that resonate with Taurus energy. Place crystals such as rose quartz or green aventurine around the space to enhance the calming and grounding vibrations.
2. Ground yourself: Before beginning the ritual, take a few moments to ground yourself. Sit or stand with your feet firmly planted on the ground and imagine roots growing from the soles of your feet, grounding you deep into the Earth. Take a few deep breaths, allowing yourself to feel rooted and centered.
3. Connect with nature: Taurus is an earth sign, so connecting with nature is particularly important for this holistic ritual. If possible, go outside and spend some time in nature, whether it’s a garden, park, or forest. Take a walk, sit on the grass, or simply observe the beauty of the natural world around you. Or you can bring elements of nature indoors by placing fresh flowers or plants in your space.
4. Set your intention: Write down your intention for the ritual. This could be related to your physical and emotional well-being, abundance and prosperity, or cultivating a sense of stability and security. Be clear and specific about what you want to manifest or achieve during this Taurus moon phase.
5. Nourish your body: Taurus is associated with pleasure and sensual experiences, so it’s a good time to focus on self-care and nourishment. Prepare a nourishing meal using fresh, organic ingredients. Pay attention to the flavors, textures, and scents of the food as you prepare and eat it. Practice mindful eating, savoring each bite and expressing gratitude for the nourishment it provides.
6. Grounding meditation: Sit comfortably and close your eyes. Take deep breaths, inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth. Visualize yourself surrounded by a golden, grounding light. Feel this light extending from the crown of your head to the tips of your toes, grounding you into the Earth. As you breathe, imagine any stress, tension, or negative energy leaving your body and being absorbed by the Earth. Stay in this state for as long as you feel comfortable, enjoying the sense of peace and stability.
7. Reflect and express gratitude: After the ritual, take some time to reflect on your experiences and any insights you gained. Write them down in your journal, expressing gratitude for the abundance and blessings in your life. Acknowledge the progress you have made towards your intention and affirm your commitment to manifesting your desires.
Remember to trust your intuition and honor your body’s wisdom throughout this process. The Taurus moon energy can bring a sense of grounding, stability, and connection to the physical world. Embrace this energy and allow it to guide you in creating a harmonious and abundant life.

Mr. Akan Okon and his wife, Mrs. Queen Okon, on Thursday 21st April during Mr. Okon’s formal declaration for governorship of Akwa Ibom State.
By Abasifreke Effiong, Uyo.
A governorship aspirant and immediate past Commissioner for Economic Development and Ibom Deep Seaport, Akwa Ibom State, Mr. Akan Okon said that achieving power for all, expansion of industrial development, development of renewable energy, and making agriculture the fulcrum of economic development and job creation are some of the things he intends to do as Governor of the State.
Mr. Akan Okon, a governorship aspirant in Akwa Ibom State has urged the people of the State to give him opportunity to serve the State in 2023, saying that he will give the best services and leadership that the people deserve.
At his formal declaration on Thursday, 21st April, Mr. Okon said he has understudied all the sectors of the States as commissioner and better understands the needs of the State and the people and will work assiduously to create shared prosperity.
Mr. Akan Okon who has served as Commissioner for more than seven years and has supervised six ministries under two administrations is anchoring his campaign on the theme, “Value-added leadership for shared prosperity.”
“I have served meritoriously in different ministries under the administrations of His Excellency, Senator Godswill Akpabio and His Excellency, Governor Udom Emmanuel. I understand the workings of government. As part of my desire to continue to offer quality services to our dear State, I intend to harness the accrued technocratic experience to ensure good governance in the State.”
“After extensive and painstaking consultations with critical stakeholders across the length and breadth of our State, it became clear that the time has come to put myself forward to be used by God through your collective goodwill to begin the journey to place our dear state on a pedestal that will ensure incrementally unending progress of our dear State and people.”
“Today, my mission is clear: I present myself to serve you as your next Governor, and I am humbly soliciting for your support. I am poised to offer value added leadership for shared prosperity. I stand before you today to formally declare to contest the 2023 governorship election in our State on the platform of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP)”, he declared.
Mr. Okon said his he will offer the state good and effective leadership anchored on honesty, effectiveness, loyalty, professionalism, diversity, inclusiveness, integrity, excellence and transparency.
“We have articulated a realistic plan of action and our core values are encapsulated in the acronym, HELP-DIIET which translates into Honesty, Effectiveness, Loyalty, Professionalism, Diversity, Inclusiveness, Integrity, Excellence and Transparency.”
He said he will vigorously pursue the goal of achieving power for all households and will invest in agriculture, which he stressed will be the fulcrum of his economic development agenda.
“In our development objectives, we will place high premium on investment in power generation, transmission and distribution of electricity. We shall explore alternative ways of ensuring that the Power generated from Ibom Power Plant serves our need by vigorously pursuing the policy trust of the government aimed at ensuring power for all.”
“We shall invest massively in agriculture through Research and Development, to ensure food security and food sufficiency for our people. Relevant infrastructure will be provided for this purpose.”
“In specific terms, agriculture will be the fulcrum of our economic development where we have competitive advantage. We intend to make the agricultural sector generate 80 percent of the total employment through the various value chains.”
Mr. Okon said serious attention will be paid to the development of renewable energy and the deployment of climate-friendly technology to mitigate the impact of climate change on agriculture and the environment.
He added that he will expand the scope of the State’s industrial base and investments beyond what the current administration has done, by utilising identified opportunities in aviation, maritime, information and communication technology, real estate, food technology, and medical technology.
The aspirant said he create more industrial layouts and create an economic development office that will provide information and guidance to support small business owners.
“We shall establish Akwa Ibom State Economic Development Office that will be driven by a Small Business, Entrepreneur & Innovation team otherwise known as Ibom Business Entrepreneur Centre (IBEC) which will provide information and guidance to support entrepreneurs and small business owners to start and expand their businesses and create jobs. I promise that we will create more industrial layouts and clusters across the State. This, no doubt, will lead to the spread of more MSMEs in the State and the promotion of high quality Made in Akwa Ibom goods”, Mr. Okon stated.
Mr. Akan Okon who is an investment banker supervised the establishment of the state-owned airline, Ibom Air; the construction of the 21-storey smart building; and well as the approval of the updated business case and license for the construction of Akwa Ibom deep seaport and industrial city. | <urn:uuid:4abac7cc-f02d-4da6-b0ac-40f0e9a4de3a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://thedune.ng/what-i-will-offer-akwa-ibom-as-governor-akan-okon/ | 2023-09-28T19:08:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.944021 | 1,099 |
Owaisi’s success will end up isolating Muslims in Bihar even more
Over 15 per cent of the Muslim population spread all over Bihar has been pushed to the fringes of politics. Such is the outcome of the just-concluded Assembly polls. The reason is that none of the 125 newly elected MLAs from the winning side belongs to the Muslim community.
Over 15 per cent of the Muslim population spread all over Bihar has been pushed to the fringes of politics. Such is the outcome of the just-concluded Assembly polls. The reason is that none of the 125 newly elected MLAs from the winning side belongs to the Muslim community. Though 19 Muslim contestants romped home on tickets given by non-National Democratic Alliance parties, none of them can be expected to be sworn in as a minister.
This includes five Muslims elected from Asaduddin Owaisi’s party All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen, or AIMIM. The party has been smarting over its unexpected success in Bihar — unexpected because Bihar is quite a bit far off from the party’s main bastion spread over parts of Hyderabad in south. Yet, its five MLAs like the 14 from other parties are going to remain confined to Opposition benches in the new House.
Thus, at best, now Muslims of Bihar can only hope that a Muslim member from the Legislative Council is invited by the NDA, or rather Nitish Kumar-led Janata Dal (United) to be more precise, to take oath in the new dispensation; and this, too, could be just to fulfil the need to look after minority-related matters like Waqf (a society trust meant for public good) and Hajj pilgrimage.
This scenario lays bare the advent of virtual isolation, severely deficient representation and consequent marginalisation of the largest minority group in Bihar’s politics and society. It is going to be so despite the fact that 11 Muslim candidates were fielded by the JD (U) in the polls. Its rival Opposition alliance, or Mahagathbandhan, had put forth thrice as many minority community candidates. Yet, over half of them lost the polls as also did happen to the larger alliance that had pitted them in the polls. So much so that the Opposition alliance missed the halfway mark, though not widely, in the 243-member Vidhan Sabha.
Overall, the numbers of minority community legislators in the Bihar Assembly have come down from 24 after the 2015 polls to 19 in 2020. Owaisi’s party had put 20 candidates in all, including five non-Muslim candidates from poorer sections of Hindus. He refuted the charge of being a spoiler to the show that the Opposition alliance perceived as secular, as opposed to the NDA led by ultra-nationalist BJP. Yet, in the Muslim stronghold of Kishanganj, the Congress candidate Izaharul Husain barely scraped through with just 1,000 votes more than the BJP’s Sweety Singh since AIMIM candidate Qamarul Hoda cornered over 41,900 votes in the triangular contest.
As the Bihar poll results were only trickling in through the intervening night of November 10 and 11, Owaisi in a TV interview, rubbished the idea that inability to join the government could be a handicap in ensuring the development of the generally neglected minority dominated pockets of Bihar.
“In Telangana, we have never been part of any government whether in the state or at the central level. Yet, the elected representatives of our party have always fought the neglect of their constituencies. Seemanchal, the area where we fought polls, is underdeveloped. I have personally moved a private member’s bill in Parliament for the formation of a regional development council for Seemanchal under Article 371 (E) of the Constitution,” said Owaisi.
He argued that he has been treated as the “biggest untouchable” by peers in other political parties. “Our Bihar chief (Akhtarul Iman) personally met with each and every leader of political parties. No one was ready to touch us. Big parties treated me like an untouchable… Our party president met every important Muslim leader as well. But nothing worked out. I cannot tell you why it didn’t happen,” Owaisi told his interviewer.
The AIMIM leader often asserts his party’s right to contest polls. This as per him and his supporters should not be resented by other, or mostly secular, parties that are bigger than the outfit run by him and, thus, are suitably posited to look after their interests. The point offered by bigger parties is that AIMIM has every right to contest, but what is equally important is that it should not end up helping the BJP by dividing voters into separate electorates on communal lines as was the case during the British era. The critics of the Hyderabad-based party say that the BJP never shies away from blowing up points of Hindu resentment and the AIMIM should not provide them any excuse to do so during any of the polls.
Pariahs in politics
Somehow, Owaisi’s “untouchable” remark brings a sense of déjà vu since it was the BJP that used to claim way back in the 1990s that it was treated like a virtual pariah and untouchable in politics by its contemporaries. And this was particularly so in the context of objections raised by its opponents to the party’s bid to tie up with the George Fernandes-led Samata Party. Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was closely associated with Fernandes during those days and it is the Samata Party that eventually transformed into today’s JD (U). The point is that not just the AIMIM but also the BJP has been complaining at one point of time or the other of being unjustifiably ostracised by the politicos of other parties.
This was mainly been because of the identity-based politics of the two parties that moves along communal lines. The BJP tied up with myriad parties across the political spectrum since the days of the late Atal Behari Vajpayee. But to retain and justify its majoritarian slant, the party did not mind inviting Muslim reaction and at times looked for it.
Most Muslims shunned the identity-centric and, thus, parochial and reactionary politics. So Owaisi’s influence remained confined for a long time to Hyderabad alone. Even in today’s hotbeds of communal politics like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, Muslims mostly sided initially with the Congress and later with socialist and non-communal leaders like Mulayam Singh Yadav, Mayawati and Lalu Prasad Yadav. These leaders tried to counter the BJP’s ‘mandir’ movement since it has been pulled out to override the job reservations that were offered to the poorer castes among Hindus as per the Mandal Commission report in the year 1990 by the VP Singh government.
Only fringe Muslim outfits like All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) and AIMIM besides a few Muslim individuals joined issues with the BJP since the mid 1980s. They opposed a Supreme Court judgement granting alimony to be paid to a divorced Muslim woman Shah Bano by her lawyer husband. Conservative though not yet so significant sections among Muslims, who became highly vocal, forced the then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi to reverse the apex court verdict through a law passed by Parliament.
The move by the Congress Prime Minister was lapped up by the BJP and Hindu communalists who put forth the demand for a law to allow the building of temple at Ayodhya whose locks were opened around the time the Shah Bano case was decided uoon by the top court.
The AIMIM was led in those days by Asaduddin’s father Sultan Salahuddin Owaisi who joined all these contentious issues alongside AIMPLB with the BJP and its cohorts even as majority of Muslims remained oblivious of the possible fallout of these controversial issues. The BJP was not in power in those times and yet engaging with a Muslim leader suited the protagonists of the Hindutva movement more than the common Muslims. It is this fact that has constantly been ignored by leaders like Owaisi amid what looks like to be competitive communalism that has catapulted Hindutva leaders to power not only at the Centre but also in several States.
War of word and yet…
The recurring verbal spats that intermittently break out between Owaisi and his Hindutva rivals have, indeed, been fierce. It has been fiercer in the case of Owaisi’s younger brother Akbaruddin who faced a few cases for alleged hate speech. The war of words was also witnessed during the Bihar poll campaign where Asaduddin said that he spent 15 days and addressed 65 public meetings. Yet, there has been no or little love lost between him and the BJP.
Bihar has a history of what is called as “political vendetta” starting with Lalu Yadav and going down to his progenies. The government agencies have been blamed by the Yadavs of framing them at the behest of the BJP. Elsewhere, too, the political opponents of the BJP often chide the ruling party for unjustified raids and slapping of “politically motivated” cases but there has never been any raid worth taking note of in Hyderabad to target Owaisi or the AIMIM, say his critics.
They point out that this is how a tacit understanding goes on between him and the BJP as both help each other in keeping them in the consequential zone with their sharp rhetoric targeting each other where the two are able to keep their respective gallery of supporters deeply engaged.
Muslims relegated to the cold
The communal temperature thus rising has put Muslims at the receiving end. Soon after they had voted Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to power in Delhi, there were riots in the northeastern parts of the city. About 60 people were killed and many lost their hearths and homes to arsonists’ wrath. No party or leader came forward to help the victims after the riots. Instead, the violence was linked to anti-citizenship law protests resorted to by Muslims with the support of civil society members. The political class, including those from the secular parties, kept a distance from the protestors and was cold to their cause.
So no wonder that once elections took place in Bihar, a sizeable section of hapless Muslim voters turned towards Owaisi and found some solace and warmth in his words and assurances. These are obviously difficult to be met. But as a strange coincidence, the results of Bihar polls came on the 132nd birth anniversary (November 11) of one of the foremost Muslim leaders of the Indian freedom movement Maulana Abul Kalam Azad. And he must have ended up turning in his grave due to the kind of communal politics played out much against his wishes and hope for independent India.

MUSCAT (AFP): Ireland edged into the semi-finals of qualifying for this year s T20 World Cup on net run-rate with a comfortable seven-wicket victory over Germany in Oman on Monday.
The Germans could only post 107-7 from their 20 overs, and a third successive fifty partnership from openers Paul Stirling and Andy Balbirnie ensured the Irish reached their target, with 41 balls to spare.
That was enough to put them top of Group A at the Global Qualifier A tournament, despite losing their opening game to the United Arab Emirates.
The UAE joined Ireland in the last four after a two-run loss to Bahrain, whose hopes were ended despite also winning two of their three games.
Ireland, the only Test team playing in the event, are bidding to reach a seventh successive T20 World Cup, having only missed the inaugural edition in 2007.
There are two places at this year s showpiece in Australia up for grabs this week, with the winners of Tuesday s semi-finals to qualify.
Ireland will face hosts Oman for a place in the main tournament, while the UAE will take on Nepal, the only team with a 100-percent record in the group stage.
“There was good buzz around this morning, the guys knew we had to win two games to reach a World Cup, and we ve got rid of one of those and are now in a semi-final,” said Irish captain Balbirnie, who made a 21-ball 32.
Nepal secured their last-four spot in style, thrashing Canada by eight wickets after bowling out their opponents for 80.
Star leg-spinner Sandeep Lamichhane continued his fine event, claiming figures of 3-12.
Oman made sure of their semi-final place with a nine-wicket thumping of the Philippines, bowling them out for 36 before reaching the victory target inside three overs.
The Filipinos had not played a match in three years before the qualifier due to Covid, and some of their players had never met before arriving in Oman.
The final two spots for the 2022 T20 World Cup will be decided at the Global Qualifier B event in Zimbabwe in July. | <urn:uuid:ae7dd9bc-aa09-4717-8b93-179d9c3c049a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://thefrontierpost.com/ireland-edge-into-t20-world-cup-qualifier-semis/ | 2023-09-28T18:45:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.97568 | 462 |
Red Rosa does not aspire to be an authoritative biography but, perhaps as a result, it is a more compelling book. What’s compelling about it? The graphics have a lot to do with it; it’s an extended comic strip (although the author might take offense with that characterization). The events, both intimate and very public, of Luxemburg’s life and the words and deeds of her political activity are portrayed in vivid graphics. When reading the book, it’s impossible to feel detached from them. At the same time, those events, words and deeds are presented seriously, without trivialization. This is no “Rosa Luxemburg for Dummies.”
When I was young more than fifty years ago, I used to devour comic books by the dozens each month. Then I knew how to read them. It is likely true that my Superman and Batman and Justice League of America favorites were not all that demanding. In any case, now, there were times when the graphics in Red Rosa forced me to stop and think about which frame came next. Doubting my judgment about the graphic quality, I asked a friend, who I thought was wise about aspects of graphic design since he had had a graphic novel published, what he thought about the quality of the graphics. He said that he hadn’t seen the book but that he also didn’t really know much about graphic design. Fortuitously enough, a day or so later, his partner (who does illustrations) handed him the book and said she thought it was ugly—leaving me to my own very inexpert opinion about the graphics.
In spite of at least one reasonably expert opinion to the contrary, I’d argue that the graphics are powerful, funny, intimate, revealing and often surrealistic (in ways that enhance the meaning of the text). Perhaps the central example of the last description is the frame from the book that also provides the cover illustration. The graphic is on pages 124-125 (un-numbered in the text). It depicts soldiers marching up into and then almost crawling through the downcast Rosa’s hair, lifted in a bun, and facing certain death as they explode from the top of her head. Most of the two pages are white, focusing our attention on the murderous realities. Two small airplanes fly away in a cloud-filled sky after having dropped their bombs. The age of “modern” warfare had arrived and it tormented Luxemburg’s thoughts and broke her heart.
Rosa Luxemburg’s Life in Brief
Rosa Luxemburg was born in rural Poland in 1871, the year of the Paris Commune. Her family moved to Warsaw when she was a young child. As she grew up, she wanted more than her family could provide her and became involved in political activity. In the early 1890’s, she moved to Zurich to pursue both further education and expanded fields of politics. Soon enough, she obtained a doctoral degree—having written a dissertation on “The Industrial Development of Poland.” She then left Poland to go to Germany—where she all but immediately immersed herself into the affairs of the German SPD. More specifically, she became well known as an active and effective participant in the party’s left wing. She remained in the left wing of the movement until her assassination on January 15, 1919—at the hands of Freikorps troops dispatched to do so by an ostensibly socialist government. She was forty-seven years old.
Evans’ book illuminates Rosa Luxemburg’s deep commitment to the cause of human liberation and her all but unbelievable courage in the face of the repression of reactionary states (specifically, Russia and Germany) and the miserable betrayals of official Social Democracy. It also shines light on her brilliance as a thinker, her whimsical appreciation of nature and human personalities and, perhaps most specially, her power with words, both spoken and written. Indeed, I‘d like to suggest that the author shows that Luxemburg developed a distinctive idiom for the condemnation of capitalist depravity, the articulation of the need for revolt and the expression of a reason for the endurance of hope.
By way of example, here’s an excerpt, included in the book, from an article that she wrote in 1902 about a devastating volcanic eruption in Martinique, in the West Indies. She’s trying to place the hypocrisy of the world powers’ expressions of concern for the victims of the eruption in the context of what those same world powers had done to the peoples of the world:
“In Madagascar, French artillery fire swept thousands of flowering human lives from the face of the earth… a free people lay prostrate on the ground… the brown queen of the ‘savages’ was dragged off as a trophy.
The sugar cartel American Senate (sic) sent cannon upon cannon, warship upon warship, golden dollars millions upon millions to Cuba… to sow death and devastation…Far off in the African south, where a tranquil people lived by their labour and in peace, there we saw how the English wreak havoc… we saw them stamp on human bodies, on children’s corpses with brutal soldiers’ boots… wading in pools of blood, death and misery before them and behind…We have seen you Russians on your dusty highways, in ruined villages eye to eye with the ragged, wildly agitated, grumbling mob; gunfire rattled, gasping muzhiks fell to the earth, red peasant blood mixed with the dust of the highway. They must die, doubled up with hunger, because they cried out for bread, for bread.
And all of you—whether French and English, Russian and Germans, Italians and Americans—we have seen you united in a great league of nations. It was in China you forgot all quarrels among yourselves, you made a peace of peoples—for mutual murder and the torch. Ha, how the pigtails fell in rows before your bullets, like a ripe grainfield lashed by the hail! Ha, how the wailing women plunged into the water, their dead in their cold arms.” (59-60)
Unfortunately, that idiom of condemnation, revolt and hope was all but completely overwhelmed by the triumph of authoritarian state capitalism in the Soviet Union and of fascism in Germany, the country where, for a relatively brief period of time in the first third of the 20th Century, it seemed that the fate of the world would be determined. And indeed it was. Luxemburg’s death in Germany in January of 1919 removed from the political stage one of the few individuals who might, let me stress might, have enabled humanity to avoid the terrible outcomes associated with official communism and fascism. Had she lived, what we came to know as communism could have been entirely different and what we now know as German fascism might have been prevented.
In 1919, the alternative would have been revolution across many different lands. But both the Soviet and the German reaction made sure that revolution would not happen. (Truth be known, we don’t know if revolution would have taken place; we simply know that it didn’t and that events conspired to make that possibility into an impossibility). We live still with the consequences of those outcomes. Rosa Luxemburg might have been able to stop both reactions—hard claim to make for one individual, but perhaps not such a hard claim to make for one remarkable individual—especially in light of the cataclysmic horrors launched by two other “individuals”—Joseph Stalin and Adolph Hitler. Insert text about individuals and plutonic forces!
For me, the most important parts of this book are not the graphics but the events and texts embodied within those graphics and especially the texts that highlight Luxemburg’s own words.
The essentials of Luxemburg’s life, ideas and work are revealed in her responses to the circumstances of her life and the issues and work of revolutionary politics.
The Circumstances of Her Life
Let me try not to be fancy. What I mean by the circumstances of life are simply the everyday realities within which most of us live out our lives. I’d argue that Rosa was a perceptive observer of and an especially enlightened participant in those circumstances.
She remembered her childhood yearnings:
“I used to sneak across to the window—it was strictly forbidden to get up before Father was up—I would open it quietly and peek out at the big courtyard. There was certainly not much to see there. Everything was still asleep … a pair of sparrows were having a fight with a lot of cheeky chirping. A cat crept by on its soft paws … Antoni stood alone, deep reflection etched on his sleepy, unwashed face. The solemn stillness of the morning hour spread above the triviality of the courtyard’s paved surface … the window panes glittered with the early morning gold of the young sun … and way up high swam sweet-smelling clouds with a touch of pink, before dissolving into the grey sky over the metropolis. I firmly believed that ‘life,’ that is, ‘real life’, was somewhere far away off beyond the rooftops.” (24-25)
We can appreciate some of her most revealing sentiments when she is talking about the men she loved. When she was living in Paris, she wrote to Leo Jogiches, her first lover:
“My only one, my Bobo, when will I see you? I miss you so much my soul is simply thirsting. Today I saw the Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower and the Grand Opera. I’m deafened by the noise…. and how many beautiful women there are! Really all of them are beautiful, or at least they seem to be … No! Under no circumstances will you come here! You stay in Zurich.” (39)
Once, in the graphic version, while Leo was telling her about the ways in which she was being portrayed as a mortal danger to civilization in the mainstream newspapers, she becomes preoccupied with freeing a wasp—a wasp that most of us would have only been concerned about killing. Her reason: “With every fly that one carelessly swats and crushes, the entire world comes to an end. In the refracting eye of the little fly, it is the same as if the end of the world had destroyed all life.”
Years later, writing to Kostya Zetkin (the son of her close friend Clara) and, at the time, her young lover, she wrote:
“Oh Dudu, if only I had two years to do nothing but paint—it would absorb me completely. I wouldn’t go to any painter for lessons or instructions, nor would I ask anyone about anything, but just learn on my own by painting, and asking you! But those are crazy dreams. I can’t let myself do it, because there isn’t even a dog who needs my wretched paintings. However, people do need the articles I write.” (86)
Upon her realization that Kostya no longer loved her, she wrote: “If you no longer love me, say it to me openly. You can’t help it. It must come out some day.” When he said, “I truly am sorry,” she responded: “No! You needn’t be. You felt trapped when a word could have freed you. In reality, I was the trapped one … my heart was held by a chain of iron.” Still later, reflecting on the moment, she wrote: “I cleave to the idea that a woman’s character doesn’t show itself when love begins but when it ends.” (102)
In a letter from prison during World War I to Hans Diefenbach, a lover whom she had become involved with on the eve of the war who was then serving as a medic in the German army, she’s alternately needy and determined: “I need company. I’m sad, and I want to make a confession. The last few days I’ve been angry and therefore unhappy and therefore sick. Or was I sick and therefore unhappy and hence angry? I don’t know any more. Now I’m well again, and I vow never, ever again to lend an ear to my inner demons” (128). Diefenbach’s later death on the front lines weighed heavily on her when she got the news: “I received the dreadful black envelope. My hands and heart were already trembling when I saw the handwriting and the postmark but I still hoped the worst would not be true. How can this be possible? To me it is like a word cut short in mid-sentence.” (138)
But not only love inspired her. Birds seemed to have had a special place in her feelings. From prison, she wrote:
“Good lord, don’t I have reason enough to feel grateful and joyful, since the sun is shining down on me so and the birds are singing their age-old song.
The one who has done the most to restore me to reason is a small friend whose image I am sending you. This comrade with the jauntily held beak, steeply rising forehead, and eye of a know-it-all is called the arbour bird. You have surely heard him somewhere because he likes to nest in the thickets of gardens or parks everywhere, you simply haven’t noticed him, just as people for the most part pass by the loveliest things in life without paying attention.”
And she goes on talking about the bird (but perhaps, she was really talking about the bird watcher):
“This bird is quite an oddball. He doesn’t sing just one song, one melody, like other birds, but he is a public speaker, he holds forth, making his speeches to the garden, and does so with a very loud voice full of dramatic excitement, leaping transitions, and passages of heightened pathos. He brings up the most impossible questions, then hurries to answer them himself, with nonsense, makes the most daring assertions, heatedly refuting views that no one has stated, charges through wide open doors, then suddenly exclaims in triumph: ‘Didn’t I say so? Didn’t I say so?’ Immediately after that he solemnly warns everyone who’s willing or not willing to listen: ‘You’ll see! You’ll see!’ (He has the clever habit of repeating each witty remark twice.)
He never grows tired of filling the garden with the most blatant nonsense, and during the stillness that reigns while he’s giving his speeches, one can almost see the other birds exchanging glances and shrugging their shoulders.
I don’t shrug mine. I laugh every time with joy. You see, I know that his foolish chatter is actually the deepest wisdom and that he’s right about everything.” (128-9)
On the Issues and the Work of Politics
Luxemburg was all but always looking for signs that revolt was breaking out and then urging upon all who would listen the urgent need for support and joint action.
At an SPD Congress in Jena on September 17, 1905, she pleaded: “Are we really living in the year of the glorious Russian revolution? Daily, we read news of it, but some of us don’t have eyes to see or ears to hear. The final words of the Communist Manifesto are not merely a pretty phrase. We are in deadly earnest when we say: Workers! We have a world to win!”
Later, she wrote more analytically about the mass strike:
“The overthrow of absolutism is a long, continuous social process. The mass strike is not one act, one isolated action. It is a whole period of class struggle. Economic and political factors are intertwined. Cause and effect continuously change places. In the revolution, any political class action can arouse in a few hours whole sections of the working class from their passive condition. The mass strike does not produce the revolution: the revolution produces the mass strike. The mass strike cannot be made, planned or decided. So many factors intersect: economic, political and social, general and local, material and psychical.” (74)
But, for her, analysis must remain alive: “The mass strike. A bit of pulsating life of flesh and blood… which is connected with all parts of the revolution … with a thousand veins. If sophisticated theory purposes to make a clever dissection of it, it will not perceive the phenomenon in its living essence … but kill it altogether.” (75)
These last two comments are somewhat hilariously presented in a series of frames showing Rosa and Leo Jogiches making love.
She was impatient with, if not outraged by, the deeply rooted caution of the German party’s leadership. In 1910, she complained to Louise Kautsky, after her husband, Karl, refused to publish her call for a republic:
“It’s ‘not the party line’—the very idea is banned! Pfui! To quote Marx: our government is ‘nothing but military despotism embellished with parliamentary forms.’ Yet it has the support of Karl Kautsky! Who needs the police to call us into line? Herr Kautsky will police us himself!”
“All Germany is ready for industrial action yet Karl is not. He says a mass strike is ‘unthinkable’. Here! We have the strongest socialist movement in the world yet our proletariat is apparently the most powerless.” (104)
“Kautsky would rewrite the Communist Manifesto itself! ‘Proletarians of all countries unite in peacetime, but slit one another’s throats in war!”
Luxemburg was no feminist. She told Clara Zetkin: “I’m sorry Clara. You do so much for the fight for women’s emancipation. I couldn’t do it. I can’t pretend to make common cause with the ladies of the capitalist class. They are parasites upon parasites” (64). Just once, she had doubts about her course of action in that regard. In 1914, after all of the SPD representatives voted for war credits in the Reichstag, she told Clara Zetkin: “For once, I wish I’d dedicated my life to getting women the right to vote. Dammit, Clara. I wish we were in there right now.” (153)
But she was an indisputable champion of women’s liberation in action. She faced a rogues’ gallery of male supremacists. At one point, Dr. Wurm, the husband of Rosa’s friend Mathilde, is quoted as saying: “The poisonous bitch will yet do a lot of damage. She is as clever as a monkey, yet her sense of responsibility is totally lacking. Her only motive is an almost perverse desire for self-justification.” That inspired August Bebel to tell Kautsky: “It’s an odd thing about women. If their partialities or passions or vanities come into question, then even the most intelligent of them flies off the handle and becomes hostile to the point of absurdity. Love and hate lie side by side; a regulating reason does not exist.” (106)
Evans follows the war graphic described above with the only pages of non-graphic text in the book—an extended excerpt from The Junius Pamphlet, authored by Luxemburg in 1916, in the midst of the slaughter. She pulls no punches: “Mass murder has become a monotonous task, and yet the final solution is not one step nearer. Capitalist rule is caught in its own trap, and cannot ban the spirit it has invoked.” (126)
But capital was not alone:
“Gone is the first mad delirium. Gone are the private street demonstrations, the singing throngs, the violent mobs. The show is over. The curtain has fallen on trains filled with reservists, as they pull out amidst the joyous cries of enthusiastic maidens. We no longer see their laughing faces, smiling cheerily from the train windows, upon a war-mad population. Quietly, they trot through the streets, with their sacks upon their shoulders. And the public, with a fretful face, goes about its daily task.” (106)
Who else has captured the grim consequences of dumb support for war so well?
In that same pamphlet, she wrote in some precise detail about what she had in mind when she invoked the possibility of barbarism:
What does a ‘‘reversion to barbarism’’ mean at the present stage of European civilisation? We have read and repeated these words thoughtlessly without a conception of their terrible import. At this moment one glance about us will show us what a reversion to barbarism in capitalist society means. This world war means a reversion to barbarism. The triumph of imperialism leads to the destruction of culture, sporadically during a modern war, and forever, if the period of world wars that has just begun is allowed to take its damnable course to the last ultimate consequence. Thus we stand today, as Friedrich Engels prophesied more than a generation ago, before the awful proposition: the destruction of all culture and, as in ancient Rome, depopulation, desolation, degeneration, a vast cemetery; or the victory of socialism, that is, the conscious struggle of the international proletariat against imperialism, against its methods, against war. This is the dilemma of world history, its inevitable choice, whose scales are trembling in the balance.
Luxemburg was both an innovative analyst and determined opponent of imperialism—the domination of the world by a handful of powerful or would-be powerful nations but she had no sympathy for national self-determination as a political strategy—even, and perhaps especially when it concerned Poland, the country of her birth. She succinctly explained why: “Why speak of national self-determination? Under capitalism the nation does not exist! Instead we have classes with antagonistic interests and rights. The ruling class and the enlightened proletariat can never form one undifferentiated national whole.”
Perhaps her most original theoretical work concerned what she saw as an unresolved issue in Karl Marx’s arguments regarding the accumulation of capital. She formulated the challenge this way: “In a world formed purely of capitalists and workers there is just no way that the capitalists, viewed in their entirety, can get rid of the surplus goods, change the surplus value into money, and accumulate capital.”
Earlier, she had anticipated the essential role that the expansion of credit would play in the perpetuation of accumulation and in the return of inevitable crisis:
“When the tendency of capitalist production to expand limitlessly strikes against the limited size of private capital, credit steps in to surmount those limits. … Credit aggravates the inevitable crisis. … It accelerates the exchange of commodities. … it provokes overproduction … and then, at the first symptom of stagnation, credit melts away. It abandons the exchange process just when it is indispensable. Credit stimulates bold and unscrupulous utilization of the property of others … it leads to reckless speculation … It helps to bring on and extend the crisis by transforming all exchange into an extremely complex and artificial mechanism which, having a minimum of metallic money as a real base, is easily disarranged at the slightest occasion.” (56)
Not so bad as an analysis of what happened in 2008—except that Luxemburg wrote it more than a hundred years earlier.
For Luxemburg, the Russian Revolution of 1917 was one of the great events of world history and she desired nothing as much as its success and insisted on the need for German workers to defend it and defend it most of all by launching their own assault against capitalist despotism. At the same time, she was severely critical of her Bolshevik comrades. Early in 1919, indeed in her last public speech, Luxemburg warned:
“The proletarian revolution requires no terror for its aims; it hates and despises killing. It does not need these weapons because it does not combat individuals, but institutions, because it does not enter the arena with naïve illusions whose disappointment it would seek to revenge. It is not the desperate attempt of a minority to mold the world forcibly according to its ideal, but the action of the great massive millions of the people, destined to fulfill a historic mission and to transform historical necessity into reality.” (126-7)
Evans incorporates an appreciation of Luxemburg’ intense commitments to the development of her skills and talents. By way of example, soon after arriving in Zurich, barely more than twenty years old, she mounted a public stage. Emil Vandervelde recalled her 1893 speech:
“Rosa, 23 years old at the time, was quite unknown outside one or two socialist groups in Germany and Poland… but her opponents had their hands full to hold their ground against her… She rose from the delegates at the back and stood on a chair to make herself better heard. Small and looking very frail in a summer dress… she advocated her cause with such magnetism and such appealing words…” (41)
It seems evident that she had great natural talents but she worked hard to become as good as she could. Truth be known, she also enjoyed it:
“The time when I was writing the Accumulation of Capital is the happiest of my life. Really I was loving as though in euphoria, “on a high,” saw and heard nothing else, day or night, but this one question, which unfolded before me so beautifully, and I don’t know what to say about which gave me the greater pleasure: the process of thinking, when I was turning a complicated problem over and over in my mind, pacing slowly back and forth, through the room, under the close and attentive observation of Mimi [her cat], who lay on the red plush tablecloth with her little paws curled under her and kept turning her wise head back and forth to follow my movements; or the process of giving shape and literary form to my thoughts with pen in hand. Do you know, at that time I wrote the whole 30 signatures [sections of the manuscript] all at one go in four months’ time—an unprecedented event!—and without rereading the brouillon [the first draft], not even once, I sent it off to be printed.” (108)
She had great advice for those who want to write to convince: “The secret is to live the subject-matter fully in one’s heart. Then one finds words that are fresh, rather than the old familiar phrases.” (59)
Luxemburg was freed from prison in the middle of November of 1918. In spite of serious misgivings about the wisdom of the Spartacist Uprising then underway, she threw herself into supporting it. She would have only two months to live before her murder.
She had thought about her death and made clear how she wanted to be remembered. Not surprisingly, it involves a bird singing:
“On my grave, as in my life, there will be no pompous phrases. Only two syllables will be allowed to appear on my gravestone: ‘Tsvee-tsvee.” That is the call made by the large blue titmouse, which I can imitate so well that they all immediately come running. And just think, in this call, which is usually quite clear and thin, sparkling like a steel needle, in the last fee days there has been quite a low, little trill, a tiny chesty sound. And do you know what that means, Miss Jacob? That is the first soft stirring of the coming spring.”
We are still waiting for the coming of that spring. There is no need for us to turn Rosa Luxemburg into a source of all wisdom. Nonetheless, although she has been dead for almost a century, much that she wrote and argued for remains of great value. I hope that Red Rosa attracts many readers into a deep encounter with her ideas and her inspiration.
The author describes her approach as follows: “The following is a fictional representation of factual events. Photographic source material has been used to create the characters and settings. … many of the conversations between the characters have been created using Luxemburg’s actual words. … In order to compress a life as rich as Rosa’s into 179 pages, minor events have been omitted, some peripheral characters have been conflated, and in a few cases the chronology of events has been reversed for dramatic effect.”
One of the few errors about matters of history in the text comes at the very beginning. In an illustration on the first page, intended to capture the moment of the Paris Commune, a banner is inscribed with the slogan of “Liberte, Egalite, Fraernite.” But that was not the rallying cry of the Commune. Instead, it was the “Universal Republic.” For much more about that, see Kristin Ross, Communal Luxury.
The number(s) within parentheses indicate the page in the graphic text; those page numbers have been used by the author to organize the materials in the Notes section at the end of the book which provide source information, additional details about the context and explanations of any liberties the author has taken with the source materials. In some cases, the Note also includes fuller excerpts from the original text. In a few instances, I have drawn on the Notes for Luxemburg’s words that were not included in the graphic text. The full article on Martinique is available at https://www.marxists.org/archive/luxemburg/1902/05/15.htm. It is worth reading in its entirety.
Luxemburg once wrote that living creatures came in two forms; the invertebrates lacked a backbone. She considered Kautsky to be an invertebrate.
The words attributed to Wurm were really from Victor Adler. This is one of the occasions when Evans changes facts for dramatic purposes.
These sentences from The Junius Pamphlet are not cited by Evans. It was not Engels who coined the phrase “socialism or barbarism.” | <urn:uuid:b6526ad4-cebb-4b03-8191-4c2ae8eb2866> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://thefutureinthepresent.com/a-review-kate-evans-red-rosa-a-graphic-biography-of-rosa-luxemburg-edited-by-paul-buhle-verso-books-2015/ | 2023-09-28T18:21:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.966391 | 6,428 |

The principle of team distribution is based on their performance. Riot Games divided quartets hoping to balance the power of each four teams: the teams to place 1st, 3rd, 6th, and 7th are in Group A, and Group B includes the participants to place 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 8th, respectively.
The attempt is good but the idea is too utopic. Anyway, Group A looks much weaker than their colleagues from Group B. But it can be the first impression and everything will be different in action.
We will try to figure out the presence or absence of balance in the group stage in this material.
Group А at LEC Winter 2023 – Stage 2
4 teams are in quartet A: Team Vitality, SK Gaming, and Team Heretics. If we look at tags, paying no attention to what was happening in the qualifying stage, we could assume that the battle will be fierce but it will not.
There is a big chance that one of the teams will finish this stage first. This team is Team Vitality.
A free playoff entry for Vitality
Vitality has been a constant participant in LEC since 2016. For 6 years, the team was trying to reach the top of the European League of Legends without success.
Before the 13th competitive season, the team showed its best result in 2018: having Cabochard, Kikis, Jizuke, Attila, Jactroll on the roster, the club held 3rd place at LEC Summer 2018 and visited the South Korean Worlds, as a result.
At the World Championship, “the bees” predictably failed, being unable to resist the pressure of the more titled opponents: Vitality lost to RNG and Cloud9 in the group stage, although they beat their counterparts, finishing Group B with a score of 3-3.
In 2023, Vitality is as close as possible to the peak result of the French club. The team did a great job with players: the top laner Photon who used to play for T1 Challengers and the academy roster of Gen.G, Bo who played for FPX in 2021-2022, and Neon who represented Misfits joined the team.
The newcomers of Vitality reinforced Perkz and Kaiser. The refreshed roster of Team Vitality improved rapidly and showed its abilities at LEC Winter 2023 – Stage 1.
The team held 1st place in Round Robin, having played the first stage with a score of 7-2. On its way to the group stage, Vitality lost only to SK Gaming and KOI.
Now, Vitality has a chance to avenge its offenders. However, the scenario with a loss may repeat but it is less possible – matches are played to two victories in the group stage, which makes the life of Vitality’s opponents more complicated.
Having two strong legionnaires in the face of Photon and Bo, the team should pass the group stage without problems. We are waiting for the start of matches on February 11 to make sure of this.
The attempt to rehabilitate for KOI
Besides Fnatic, KOI was one of the main disappointments of LEC Winter 2023 – Stage 1. The group stage can become a lifeline for the Spanish club.
Nominally, LEC Winter 2023 is the first tournament of the prestigious series for the organization but in fact, KOI holds the title of the reigning champion.
Malrang, Larssen, Comp, and Trymbi who prevailed at LEC Summer 2022 play on the roster. The experienced core seems to feel uncomfortable after the transfer of Szygenda who used to represent Vitality.Bee.
The famous team played mediocre in the first stage: the team won 4 matches out of 9. This is a bad result for the team claiming the championship but there is still a chance to solve the situation.
SK Gaming and Team Heretics: a chance to shine
Together with the titled teams Vitality and KOI, SK Gaming and Team Heretics entered Group A. The group stage will be a real challenge.
Team Heretics has recently joined the LEC ecosystem. At the end of 2022, the club bought Misfits’ LEC slot, having become a part of the biggest tournament league in Europe.
SK Gaming, instead, has been a regular resident of LEC since 2013. Since that very 2013, SK Gaming managed to break into the TOP-3 only in 2014, after which they disappeared into oblivion until 2019.
Having returned to LEC in 2019, SK Gaming reached the top 6, holding this position in 2020 and 2021.
Looking at the performance in 2023, the second one shows the result, which is worth the playoffs. Having switched to the tactics of growing its team, SK Gaming placed 3rd in the first tour, having played with a score of 6-3 and defeated the teams like Vitality, G2 Esports, and KOI.
Heretics showed a good level of play in its debut year, having held 6th place out of 10 and won 4 maps out of 5. Like SK, they might create problems for Vitality but there is one big “but”.
Bo1 matches were played in the qualifying stage and this format is known as “the underdog format”. Complete bo3 matches will not benefit SK and Team Heretics.
Group B at LEC Winter 2023 – Stage 2
The teams to place 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 8th got in Group B: MAD Lions, G2 Esports, Team BDS, and Astralis. They will be competing for 2 slots in the playoffs and the situation looks more interesting here than in Group A.
MAD Lions – the first contender to advance to the playoffs from Group B
MAD Lions is an obvious candidate to proceed to the playoffs from Group B. The team demonstrated one of the stable results in the first stage and all was due to a wise approach to building in-team synergy and a very successful transfer window.
MAD Lions has been on top of the European League of Legends since 2020. The team has visited all World Championships since then and it did thanks to the core of Chasy and Elyoya. In 2022, the Japanese and Spaniard were joined by Nisqy who used to play for Fnatic, Hylissang (also a former member of Fnatic), and Carzzy from Team Vitality.
They look strong and the results are relevant: the team played the first stage of LEC Winter 2023 with a score of 7-2, having accompanied Vitality on the top of the standings. Two losses in the Bo1 stage are nothing amid Vitality’s overall play.
Elyoya is still good and will lead “the lions” to the playoffs.
G2 Esports – is it still a standard?
“The Samurais” have been engaged in hegemony in the European region for 5 years: from 2016 to 2020. There was a little decline in 2021, and a failure at Worlds in 2022, and the team is going to become the best one in Europe in 2023 once again.
At the start of the season, they received support from, probably, the most hyped player in the region, the Frenchman Hans sama, and, also, invited Mikyx to remember the old times. Accompanied by BrokenBlad, the Swede Yike from LDLC OL, and the G2 legend, Caps, G2 passed the first stage confidently, although losing three times.
G2 Esports lost to SK, Vitality, and MAD Lions in the qualifying stage. They will have a chance to avenge the last one in the second round of Group B but it is more complicated with the revenge for SK and Vitality – they will need to advance to Stage 2 first but there should be no problems.
A chance for BDS and the valuable experience for Astralis
BDS and Astralis are staying aside. Despite making it to the group stage, both teams look weaker than their colleagues in the quartet.
BDS advanced to the group stage, having shown a decent performance for the team that decided to rely on “the roster built the ground up”: the French prevailed in 5 matches and lost 4.
Astralis was the last one to enter the departing train. The roster of the Danish club played 3-6 and held the marginal 8th place.
Of course, it is not worth diminishing the achievements of teams but the case of Astralis and BDS is similar to the situation with Team Heretics and SK in Group A. Bo3 matches will be a drawback for the teams and, considering the fact that they will start their performance with matches against MAD Lions and G2 Esports, they are likely to be eliminated from the group after the second tour.
However, it is too early to write off both of them, it is better to wait for real matches. For example, BDS outplayed MAD Lions and which means that the young and prospective French players might have tricks up their sleeves.
The first matches at LEC Winter 2023 – Stage 2 start on February 11. Matches from Group A will be the opening ones.
We do not recommend missing the start of the new stage of the winter split. We will be following the action and analyzing the events of the European League of Legends. | <urn:uuid:064a838d-d977-4d31-b6c5-ebab80d1b5b4> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://thegamerslist.com/the-main-favorites-and-outsiders-of-the-group-stage-of-lec-winter-2023/ | 2023-09-28T17:09:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.956484 | 2,549 |
