Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, La Jolla
These artful replicas of everyday objects - the ugly cousins of pop art and photorealism - bring life’s mundane details into the spotlight. A marble statue of a full garbage bag, and an eight-and-a-half-foot-tall milk carton made of enamel and bronze, beg the question: Is bigger really better?
3/5: “That’s No Moon”
Bar Basic, East Village
The force is strong with North Park’s Thumbprint Gallery, which is presenting “That’s No Moon,” a one-night-only Star Wars art show/party at Bar Basic. The event is one of Thumbprint’s bimonthly parties intended to foster art fans’ comingling with various crowds - in this case, pizza lovers.
3/9-4/6: “One Plus Six Equals Seven”
ArtHatch & Distinction Gallery, Escondido
“Rendering” is the act of painting images in which the artist’s hand (brushstrokes, globs of paint, etc.) is undetectable, creating graphic and realistic works. “One Plus Six Equals Seven” displays rendered paintings by students of master practitioner Chris Polentz, the local artist and art teacher who curates this showing.
3/14-5/18: James Chronister, artist residency
Lux Art Institute, Encinitas
James Chronister paints using a technique called “pointillism,” applying tiny white dots against a black surface to create images that look like soft, black-and-white photographs. Throughout March, the San Francisco artist will live and work at Lux Art Institute in conjunction with their artist residency program; his paintings will be displayed through April.
3/30-7/7: “Piranesi, Rome and the Arts of Design”
San Diego Museum of Art, Balboa Park
Giovanni Battista Piranesi is considered the Michelangelo of the 18th Century (Michelangelo’s heyday was in the 15th and 16th Centuries). This exhibition - the only U.S. showing of Piranesi’s work - will feature a sizable selection of the artist’s sketches, as well as 3D renderings of his designs brought to life through video, photography and digital modeling.

Our world is running at an astoundingly very fast speed and so is our jewelry industry. The new generation of customers is now moving aside from the traditional metals like silver and gold. Now stainless steel metal in jewelry, being a more versatile, durable, and clean material, is considered the most popular type of jewelry. It is everyone’s favorite now and is in high demand all over the world.
Stainless steel jewelry is gathering popularity day by day among all age groups of women and for all good reasons. It is because of its plus points that how good it looks and how easy it is to maintain. So in the blog, we will discuss 5 quick style tips to jewel yourself with sterling silver jewelry. As no matter how luxurious a jewelry piece looks, you must know how to style it appropriately so that it looks its best.
5 quick style tips to jewel yourself with stainless steel jewelry
Keep reading to learn how to style stainless steel jewelry in 5 quick ways:
- Mix and match metals: There will be many people who will guide you to not mix and match metals like gold and silver, but this is the best way to add visual interest to your overall look. Mixing of metals is the most popular way to style your stainless steel as a part of your accessorizing. To make you look sophisticated you have to be very careful about the quality of the jewelry that you are wearing.
To get a more elegant look you have to wear simple stainless steel jewelry, as simple jewelry pieces will complement each other and will not look tacky. Stainless steel blends beautifully with other metals.
As an example, for mixing and matching metals, you can wear two of the same bracelets on one hand but of different metal tones. By doing so you will not look mismatched. If you are having a gold or silver watch, you can consider pairing it with a thin bracelet for good contrast.
- Add layers: One of the perfect ways to style your stainless steel necklaces is to layer them. For layering, you need to ensure that you choose necklaces of different varying lengths. Like if you have one long stainless steel necklace, then you can complement it with short necklaces, or a collarbone level chain necklace for contrast.
The most important reason for varying the height of any necklaces you layer is that you do not want the chains to tangle with each other. It will look messy and will ruin your jewelry. But once you add layers, it will look dazzling and will create a unique look. By doing so you will definitely wear your jewelry more often which you may have reserved for only special occasions.
- Think of your outfit color: Despite any occasion, you must want your stainless steel jewelry to be extraordinary and not get lost in your ensemble.
So whenever you wish to wear some pastel colors, it will become easy for your jewelry to go with your ensemble as there is no such contrast.
A stylish tip to keep in mind is that cool colors like blue, purple, green, black, or red, are best complements with stainless steel jewelry. Bold colors allow the stainless steel to stand out. Accessorizing with stainless steel jewelry is the quickest and easiest way to add texture and a little bit of drama to a dull ensemble.
- Complement your stainless steel jewelry: Whenever you are choosing an ensemble to style your stainless steel jewelry with, understand first which piece you want to be the focal point. After that, you can choose a complementary jewelry piece. Whenever you wish to add complementary pieces to your look, make sure to consider your outfit.
If you are looking to add two or more statement jewelry pieces then ensure to style them with minimal clothes to make the proper balance. For example, a dainty pair of stainless steel bracelets can complement perfectly with a statement ring or classic chain necklaces. Also, you can consider pairing one or two simple rings with a pair of beautiful jeweled earrings.
- Don’t overdo it: Whenever you are making a strong style statement, it is advised that you must have one focal point in your overall look. Numerous focal points will ruin your look and will divert the eyes of onlookers. Not even any single focal point will make a good impact. So despite you have many options in jewelry and you want to wear all of your favorite pieces at once, avoid overdoing it.
So avoid wearing too much stainless steel jewelry at once even if it’s not a statement because you do not want to be glittering from up to down. Too many clashing pieces can end up looking loud and tacky. Also, make sure you only wear only those pieces in which you are comfortable.
As an example, if you have selected an elaborate dress to wear then go for a simple pair of earrings. And if you are going to wear a very simple dress then a few stainless steel pieces can do wonders to change your look.
Therefore, Stainless steel jewelry is one of the most popular materials for jewelry because it’s versatile, sophisticated, elegant, and timeless.
And when you style your stainless steel jewelry in different and unique ways, you jewel yourself with more versatility.
Whether you are looking for a very simple look for any daytime function or office time or want a more statement piece for a night party, styling your stainless steel jewelry is the best way to do it.
So if you are now ready to shop a classic yet elegant jewelry piece for your jewelry collection, then take a look at our stainless steel jewelry wholesale today and accessorize your style with P&K. You will definitely be very happy with our jewelry collection. | <urn:uuid:f3bb1940-f722-4e55-9a82-3ae189335b10> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.pandkjewelry.com/blog/2022/05/ | 2023-09-28T18:55:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.936862 | 1,158 |
No clue as to the provenance of the image.
We drove down from my mother-in-law’s to Washington Heights, where we parked, and took the subway (the A train) down.
Natalie wanted to go to the American Girl® Place on 49th & 5th Avenue. She wanted her doll repaired, an arm need to be reattached, and she hoped to have it addressed at the doll “hospital”.
Unfortunately, between a computer glitch, and the fact that it was one of the original style dolls, we had to leave it there, and they will mail it to us.
To say that Charlie was less than amused to be in the store would be a gross understatement.
He was in a state of blind panic and revulsion at having to cross the threshold into that problematic palace of pervasive pinkness.
By way of apology, I took him to the Sony Wonder Technology Lab at Madison Avenue and 56th St.
It was a sort of digital playground, with robots, and motion capture dirven dancing avatars and suchlike….Best of all, it was free.
We had some quintessentially New York moments:
- We bought hot pretzels from a street vendor.
- On our way back on the subway, some guy shouted that he was Jesus Christ, then apologized, and got off at his stop.

That Joe Lieberman is a small and petty man, and has allowed imagined personal slights to be a springboard to vindictive behavior:
So why is he doing this? Because he’s bitter. According to former staffers and associates, he was upset by his dismal showing in the 2004 Democratic presidential primary. And he was enraged by the tepid support he got from many party leaders in 2006, when he lost the Democratic primary to an anti-war activist and won reelection as an independent. Gradually, this personal alienation has eaten away at his liberal domestic views. His staff has grown markedly more conservative in recent years, and his closest friends in Congress are now Republicans John McCain and Lindsey Graham. For Lieberman, the personal has become political, and it has pushed him further to the right.
Simply put, Joe Lieberman is a vile, vain, vindictive, and petty person. and because he feels that he was not sufficiently worshipped by the Democratuc Party, he is determined to extract his revenge.
What a petty and pathetic excuse for a human being.
You’ve doubtless heard about the miracle in Belgium, where a man has been determined to have functioning intellect.
I’m with Michael Shermer on this, this is Ouija board style “facilitated communication type hoax:
It’s a hoax, folks. Sorry to be the spoiler of a feel good story—that of Rom Houben, the Belgian man who allegedly “woke up” from a 23-year long coma—but the hard truth must win out over hopeful emotions. Houben’s “communications,” his “statements” about how he’s been aware all along of his condition, his “talking” to reporters (all descriptive terms used by hardened journalists softened into bleeding heart jelly) is nothing more than the “ideomotor” effect, where the brain subtly and subconsciously guides the hands and fingers over a keyboard, or a Ouija board, or directs the movements of dowsing rods in search of underground water……
…. Houben is just sitting there in a chair looking like he’s in a coma, with the facilitator standing next to him, his hand firmly gripped by hers, guiding his hand over the keyboard. ….
A simple test to prove my claim: show a picture of an object (say, a cat) to the facilitator and show a different picture of an object (say, a dog) to Huben. Don’t let either one see the other photographs. Then see what gets typed: cat or dog? As a control, show them both the same picture and see what gets typed. Prediction: Whatever the facilitator sees is what will get typed. Would someone there please run this simple test?
Such a test was already done in the 1990s when something called “Facilitated Communication” (FC) was all the rage with autistic children who, just like the Coma Man, “suddenly awoke” from their long sleep and began talking up a storm and sounding all the world like perfectly normal bright children, some even returning to school to take classes. Only they weren’t. Normal. Or talking. A facilitator stood next to a child, held his or her hand firmly in a grip with the index finger pointing down over a keyboard, then typed. In controlled tests by experimental psychologists, a photograph of an object was shown to the facilitator and a photograph of an object was shown to the child. Neither one saw what the other one saw. Sometimes the pictures were of the same objects, sometimes they were different. Result: whatever the facilitator saw is what got typed, 100% of the time, and never (0%) did what the child see get typed unless it was also what the facilitator saw. ….
Prediction: if the Coma Man story is not thoroughly debunked now, within a short time the families of people in comas will be snapping up these plastic keyboards and facilitating the communication of their loved ones locked up in a broken brain. Only they will be doing no such thing. They will be wasting their time, money, energy, and worst of all their emotions, setting themselves up for being crushed when awareness dawns on them that FC doesn’t work. Please, would someone in the Houben family put an end to this charade before it spreads through the coma community and wreaks emotional havoc.
No happy endings here. We are merely seeing the ability of human beings to delude themselves, nothing more, nothing less.

*Trust me, if you do not get the reference, you do not want to know, not now, not ever, but the Wiki has just a description, which is way better than actually seeing the video.

So, the latest selling point for the F-35 JSF is the fact that you might, at some ill defined point in the distant future, be able to put a laser on it:
The Lightning II may eventually be fitted with lasers able to shoot down attacking missiles. The head of Lockheed Martin’s Lightning program and former test pilot, Tom Burbage, said in Canberra the company was looking at special applications including an anti-missile laser system.
”They are lethal countermeasures in that with a laser you could actually destroy something that’s coming at the aircraft,” Mr Burbage said.
The classic rejoinder is the Yiddish, “Az der bubbe vot gehat baytzim vot zie geven mein zayde.” (If my grandmother had balls she’d be my grandfather.)
Certainly, with the transmission for the STOVL lift fan being able to handle something on the order of 25,000 KW, but it’s clear than any aircraft purchased today will never have that capability.
The JSF remains obscenely over priced as it has been sold, over budget compared to that price, and well behind schedule, and no amount of Ronco™ style, “But wait there’s more,” revelations will change this.
I am not one of the people who thinks that building a gazillion F-22s at a cost per Troy ounce approaching that of gold before its recent run-up† is a good idea, but the F-35 JSF is an exorbitantly expensive pig, even before you have “Frikken laser beams attached to their heads.”
*Actually Mike Meyers missed a joke here. Dr. Evil, having been frozen in the 1960s, would never have heard of the “Sea Bass”, it’s a marketing term. If he had known about them at all, he would have know them as a “Patagonian toothfish”, which lends itself to confusion, and all sorts of puns, and a number of humorous asides….I’m just saying.
†Empty weight, 43,430 lb, 12 Troy ounces to a pound, and $200 million price tag, gives a cost per Troy ounce of $383.76, which is very close to where gold was 5 years ago. (click graph for full size)‡
‡Yeah, I know the whine, “But if we buy more, the unit cost would go down!” Listen, 187 were bought, for a cost of $62 billion, which gives a cost of $331½ million each, and even the USAF’s (bogus numbers put the marginal costs well over a hundred million, and that’s not including the modifications that any new production would need because the parts are not made any more….And let’s not go into thee fact that it’s as expensive expensive as hell to just plain fly too.

I have stuff queued up for this time, but there won’t be much about breaking news until I get back on Monday.
Happy turkey day.
It’s the lowest level in 14 months, and the 4 week moving average was also below 500K.
I hope it’s a trend, but I would still bet on no significant recovery in employment over the next 12 months.
It comes from Dana Perino:
We did not have a terrorist attack on our country during President Bush’s term.
Jeebus, she is being stupid enough to qualify as Sarah Palin’s running mate.
She also did not know what the Cuban Missile Crisis was.
Lou Dobbs is looking to run for office, and he’s selling himself as a friend of illegal aliens:
Lou Dobbs is looking at any number of possibilities for a political career, such as running for Senator from New Jersey, or even the presidency. And he would of course be running on a signature issue of…his great friendship with the Latino community, and support for amnesty for illegal immigrants, and a path to citizenship???
The lede here is that the corrected numbers for US GDP are out, and it’s way down, to +2.8%, down from the initial estimate of 3.5%.
Even more worrying is that the primary reason for the drop is that that consumer demand is way down, which does not bode well for the holiday season.
Some things to note on this:
GDP is still down year over year, and at this won’t be back to the pre-recession level until sometime in 2011.
Also, the credit card data has more evidence of consumer deleveraging, with late payments on credit cards falling in the 3rd quarter, though delinquencies were up in October.
The Conference Boards Consumer Confidence index roses in November, but still at levels indicating contraction, 49.5, where 90 is more or less neutral.
The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago also released its National Activity Index, and it fell slightly (PDF), to -1.08, which indicates that things are still moving in a recessionary direction.
In real estate, the 3rd quarter numbers are in, and the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index showed home prices increasing 3.1%, though it’s still down 9% year over year, and existing home sales rose an astounding 10% in October.
The timing here shows why this housing “recovery” is a mirage. Existing home sales rose in October because these were people scrambling to get in under the wire for the new home tax credit.
Some quick math shows that the median existing home prices in the US is $173,100, and $8000 is 4.62% of that, so the the degree to which the tax credit is driving price deltas is probably pretty significant.
Meanwhile, we are having some significant movement in the bond/central bank world, both nationally and internationally, with Fitch cutting its rating Mexico’s sovereign debt, the Bank of Israel yesterday raising its overnight lending rate by a 25 basis points (¼%), and Colombia’s central bank cutting its rate by 50 basis points (½%), because inflation is below expectations, and they want to give their economy a boost.
My guess is also that Columbia wants to push its currency down to help with its trade balance.
US Treasuries rose in their most recent auction, probably because investors are looking for safe havens following the downward GDP revision.
So, the Federal Reserve’s Open Market Committee’s minutes have been released, and there were concerns that abnormally low interest rates might fuel speculative excesses?
Really? How could could anyone conclude that after all the prosperity that Alan “Bubbles” Greenspan droping rates to unprecedented lows, and then keeping them there in order to
keep George W. Bush in office deal with the hangover from the dotcom crash?
Yes, of course it’s a worry:
Federal Reserve officials said record-low interest rates might fuel “excessive” speculation in financial markets and possibly dislodge expectations for low inflation, according to minutes of their meeting released today.
“Members noted the possibility that some negative side effects might result from the maintenance of very low short-term interest rates for an extended period,” minutes of the Nov. 3-4 meeting said, “including the possibility that such a policy stance could lead to excessive risk-taking in financial markets or an unanchoring of inflation expectations.”
While policy makers agreed that the chances of such effects were “relatively low, they would remain alert to these risks,” the minutes showed. Fed officials at their meeting indicated the benchmark lending rate would remain near zero “for an extended period” as long as inflation expectations are stable and unemployment fails to decline.
But it appears that “fed officials” are going to use some more of their “Federal Reserve Fairy Dust”, to prevent this, or at least make sure that the chances of such effects are, “relatively low.”
Audit the Fed, then reform it.
Massimo Calabresi and Michael Weisskopf of Time magazine have the full rundown, but the basic thesis is that Dick Cheney started saying bad things about Barack Obama when it started to become obvious that Cheney might be in legal jeopardy if Obama did not go all out to stop all investigations and public disclosures on law breaking by Bush and His Evil Minions™.
At Firedog Lake, Marcy Wheeler hits the nail on the head when she says, “I guess Dick Cheney is right–Obama can’t stand up to terrorists. Terrorists like Dick Cheney.”
Al Gore is hysterically funny.
The apocalypse part is that Matt Taibbi is agreeing with Sarah Palin on whether or not the media is out to get her.
He goes meta, of course, because, he is both a good writer and a smart one, and notes that the media always has its chosen targets, and that this wankitude (Gore, Dean, etc.) is thoroughly bipartisan.:
I would, however, like to point out a few things, none of which really involve taking sides in this particular cat-fight. In no particular order:
1) The political media has always taken it upon itself to make decisions about who is and who is not qualified to be taken seriously as candidates for higher office. Without even talking about whether they do this more or less to Republicans or Democrats, I can testify that I witnessed this phenomenon over and over again in the primary battles within the Democratic Party. It has always been true that the press corps has drawn upon internalized professional biases, high-school-style groupthink and the urging of insider wonks to separate candidates into “serious” and “unserious” groups before the shots even start to be fired.
2) When that does happen, when the press corps decides to abandon all restraint and go for the head shot, it usually tells us a lot more about the reporters’ bosses and what they’re thinking than it does about the reporters themselves. Your average political reporter is a spineless dweeb who went to all the best schools and made it to that privileged seat inside the campaign-trail ropeline by being keenly sensitive to the editorial wishes of his social and professional superiors.
3) So Sarah Palin is now in that category of politician whom reporters feel safe in attacking.
It’s a good read, and highly accurate. | <urn:uuid:09820950-2f10-419f-9bc2-b40d19a3202f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.panix.com/~msaroff/40years/2009/11/page/2/ | 2023-09-28T18:28:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.967677 | 3,558 |

Four Reasons Why Your Passport Could Be Invalid
Do you think your passport is valid? But you could be mistaken. Each day, thousands of travelers are stuck at airports because their passport isn't valid. Here are the top four passport validity problems that could prevent you from boarding your next flight.
Get Your Passport Today!
1. Your Passport Expires Too Soon
You may have to renew your passport if your passport expires within the next six months. You may be prevented from entering certain countries by laws.
If your passport expires soon, you will be refused entry to the airport. The State Department recommends renewing your passport immediately if it expires within the next nine months. Traditional passport renewal processing can take 6-8 weeks. Call us now to renew your passport within two weeks.
For information about specific countries' entry requirements, visit the Department of State's Website or contact the consulate or embassy.
2. You Don't Have the Right Foreign Visas
You can travel to 183 countries with your U.S. passport without applying for visas. There are currently 196 countries worldwide, plus or minus a few. Although you can travel to many places using a U.S. passport alone, it is impossible to go everywhere. You will need a visa to enter popular destinations such as China, India, and Brazil.
Many visa regulations vary depending on where you are traveling. Contact an embassy or consulate for your destination country, or use an expediting visa service like RushMyTravelVisa.com.
3. Blank Pages are Out of Reach
Another potential problem spot is hidden on the back of your passport. You can't travel if you don't have enough pages to stamp your passport. There are visa stamps for certain countries that can take up to an entire page or even two pages. You must renew your passport immediately if you have run out of passport pages. You won't run out of pages as quickly with the new passport books, 52 pages.
4. Your Passport is Damaged

A state law that hasn’t changed since 1975 caps compensation for families harmed by medical negligence. The limits apply to lost quality of life, even if a patient loses a leg, a child, or is disabled for life. Click on the picture of the map to find patients by the State Senate Districts they live in.
Mario Guzman was a very successful design engineer by day. He designed hardware for semiconductors. He earned his Master of Science degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Michigan. Mario was dedicated to his engineering career but was even more dedicated to the love of his life his wife Ludmila.
Mario and Ludmila met on a blind date in San Jose. It was love at first sight and nine months later they married. Mario knew she was a keeper and his life-long mate.
Always very active, Mario’s passion was triathlons. He spent much of his time biking, running, and swimming. He would rise in the early morning hours to go running before work. It was his passion. He was an Ironman.
On a Saturday morning, Mario and Ludmila decided to take a run together. Well Mario ran and Ludmila took a hike enjoying the day until Mario sprained his ankle. An athlete, Mario was used to sprains but he knew something was different this time.
In a lot of pain with a very swollen foot and suffering from a fever, Mario went to see a doctor. By the time Mario saw the doctor, he could not walk. His appointment lasted 15 minutes. The doctor told him he had a sprain and the flu and ordered an x-ray. The x-ray came back negative for a sprain. He was just told to take ibuprofen which he did. Two days later, Mario still had a fever of 104 and could not walk. The next day he called his provider and the doctor asked if he was breathing okay. He was told to call them back the next day. He had already lost his balance and fallen. Mario had sepsis but he was in such good physical shape that he could still breathe. He called his doctor back the next day reporting a fever of 102 and the doctor told him to stay home, and it was normal to have a temperature for days. Mario and Ludmila sent pictures, continuously called, and tried everything they could to seek medical attention, but the doctor would not listen. By the time Mario was taken to the ER at the end of the week, he was in septic shock. They had to amputate multiple limbs to save his life. Had they waited another hour, Mario would have died. Once an Ironman, now Mario faces life in a wheelchair.
Mario had to undergo emergency surgery that night. He had a 95 percent chance of dying. He was on dialysis due to multiple organ failure and spent 3 weeks in the ICU. They were told to gather their family and prepare for the worst. A primary factor that saved him was that he was in such amazing health and physical shape. Yet his lifelong harm could have been avoided had his doctor run $30 worth of tests and medication.
In order to care for Mario, they had to change their living situation. Mario could no longer work and Ludmila left her job as a chemical engineer. She became a business owner focusing on childcare.
During the ordeal, Mario and his wife made multiple requests for Kaiser to improve their protocols for diagnosing sepsis, all of which were ignored. Despite the fall out, the responsible doctor is still practicing with no disciplinary action.
Due to Kaiser’s mandatory arbitration system, Mario went to confidential arbitration. Because of the 46-year-old cap on compensation for patients injured as a result of medical negligence, there are very few medical malpractice lawyers in California with an even smaller pool of lawyers that will take arbitration cases. The odds were stacked against Mario before he even started. The arbitrator ruled that even though the doctor did not act within the standard of care, they sided with the doctor and ruled against Mario. Mario lost his arbitration and did not receive any compensation for his loss of income, his loss of limbs, and his lifelong harm. Mario continues to advocate for other Californians with the hope of saving someone else from lifelong harm.
Californians will have the chance to vote on the Fairness for Injured Patients Act on the November 2022 ballot. The Fairness Act would update California’s medical malpractice damage cap for nearly 50 years of inflation, and allow judges and juries to decide fair compensation in cases involving catastrophic injury or death.

It’s spring! At least officially, in the Northern Hemisphere. And that means things are hopping in the winter sports world of THE GAMES.
Rikki Lodge, the Olympic biathlete in THE GAMES, would have spent this past weekend in Khanty-Mansiysk, Russia, where the biathlon season wrapped up, with Darya Domracheva of Belarus winning the overall title in the last race of season. And Rikki’s hockey-player lover Lanny Kaminski would have been there, too, urging her on all the way.
The day before, France’s Martin Fourcade grabbed his record fourth overall title in a row, while Canada’s Nathan Smith scored his first World Cup race win.
Alpine skiers Kyle Armstrong and Nan Monahan – and their coaches – would have been in Meribel, France for the World Cup Finals. Mikaela Shiffrin continued her standout run in the slalom there.
(Speed Skating World Cup finals were held in Erfurt, Germany, also this past weekend. Congratulations to Heather Richardson on winning the overall title. Does that bode well for the United States in the 2018 Winter Olympics in Korea?)
The World Figure Skating Championships start later this week in Shanghai. The U.S. team includes 16-year-old Polina Edmunds, who reminds me so much of Amy Yost, the young skater former Olympic champion Tess Rutledge coaches in THE GAMES.
Once you’ve read THE GAMES, let me know if you think Tess and Andrei would be together in Shanghai.
And, of course, hockey season is still going strong. So Lanny will be busy looking for new opportunities, now that Rikki’s season is over. Maybe he and Tess can team up for something like real-life Olympic figure skater Michael Weiss is doing – giving skating lessons to hockey players. And this Olympian and three-time U.S. men’s champion gave THE GAMES a great review quote!!
“THE GAMES accurately portrays the emotional roller coaster an athlete rides in pursuit of … Olympic glory.”
And USA Today columnist Christine Brennan called THE GAMES “fast-paced, vivid, and true-to-life … a gold-medal winner.”
So add some warmth to these first days of spring by reading THE GAMES. It’s available in ebook and print.
And celebrate spring with THE GAMES! | <urn:uuid:be98a0a8-5061-4205-912a-7c1907c76430> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.patriciamclinn.com/season-games/ | 2023-09-28T17:36:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.945582 | 522 |
BANGKOK, 3 July 2012 -The Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM) has issued a warning for residents in 16 provinces nationwide to brace for heavy rains and flash floods today and tomorrow.
DDPM’s Director-General, Wiboon Sanguanpong, has said a strong monsoon trough prevailing over the Northern and upper Northeastern part of Thailand has caused torrential rainfall and severe storms, which could later trigger flash-flooding in flood-prone areas.
Residents living near hillsides and waterways in Chiang Rai, Phayao, Nan, Phrae, Sukhothai, Uttaradit, Phitsanulok, Loei, Nong Bua Lam Phu, Udon Thani, Nong Khai, Bueng Kan, Sakon Nakhon, Nakhon Phanom, Mukdahan and Ubon Ratchathani have been urged to be prepared for widespread scattered heavy rain and flash floods on July 3-4.
Affected residents have been advised to closely follow the weather updates and to keep alert for natural warning signs of flash flooding.
Mr Wiboon said the department has instructed provincial authorities and local DDPM offices in 16 affected provinces to closely monitor the situation.
Flood victims are urged to contact their local DDPM office or to call their 1784 hotline for further assistance. | <urn:uuid:58bd41f6-9377-4fb0-bc76-16a30e44b349> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.pattayamail.com/thailandnews/ddpm-issues-flash-flood-alerts-in-16-provinces-14240 | 2023-09-28T16:47:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.933505 | 288 |

Haemophilia is one of the rare conditions in which blood cannot clot properly due to the fact that it lacks satisfactory proteins of blood-clotting. World Haemophilia Day is an event observed worldwide to improve diagnosis and allow access to better treatment to this specific condition. The World Haemophilia Day aims at bringing together people suffering from bleeding disorders from all over the world.
Haemophilia was first acknowledged in the 10th century when doctors discovered people, particularly men, who suffered profuse bleeding just after some minor cuts and injuries. Major breakthrough couldn’t be done at that time about this illness due to limitations of technology.
It was seen that many prominent figures in history at that time had haemophilia, including royal families in Europe.
Philadelphian doctor John Conrad Otto in 1803 started investigating people whom he described as bleeders and discovered it as a genetic disorder. He stated that the disorder was genetically transferred from healthy mothers to their male children at birth. In 1937, Haemophilia was classified into two categories: A and B.
There is no specific treatment of haemophilia found so far. However, the condition can be managed by using regular injection for clotting factors to restrict impulsive bleeding episodes.
17th April was established as World Haemophilia Day by the World Federation of Haemophilia in 1989. The aim of the day is to promote awareness of the condition and to create funds for those who cannot afford treatment.
World Haemophilia Day is important because:
To Sum Up
Haemophilia is an inherited condition, which is passed from parents to children through genes. The condition causes prolonged bleeding after an injury or surgical procedure along with causing painful swelling of the joints. Haemophilia is the most common X-linked disorder. Pregnant mothers act as carriers of haemophilia, though the illness generally hits males only.

If you are bleeding due to minor cuts, it is not a very big thing. However, if you have severe haemophilia, internal bleeding can be serious. Moreover, if the bleeding is in the ankles, knees or in the elbows, it can be serious as it may harm your organs and tissues, which can be fatal.
Haemophilia is a rare bleeding disease with no permanent treatment at present.
Most blood collection centres refuse to accept blood from donors who are patients of haemophilia because of the dangers of bleeding. It is rather good for such people not to donate blood so that they could safeguard their veins.
A carrier of haemophilia is a woman carrying the haemophilia gene through an abnormal X chromosome

Martin Lukas Sos
About Martin Lukas Sos
Targeting MYC-dependent metabolism in prostate cancer
The gene MYC regulates normal cellular metabolism. Mutations in MYC result in the unregulated expression of several genes involved in cell proliferation, resulting in aggressive cancers. MYC is known to play crucial roles in aggressive and metastatic prostate cancer, and rationally designing potent inhibitors of MYC has traditionally been difficult. Dr. Martin Sos plans to develop rationally designed inhibitors of the protein PRPS2, an enzyme that is up regulated in MYC-driven cancers. PRPS2 also plays a key role in the downstream signaling of MYC, therefore targeting PRPS2 might be effective in abrogating MYC activity.
Dr. Sos will evaluate these inhibitors in mouse models of prostate cancer that are MYC-driven. These studies will help establish the appropriate subtype of prostate cancer that will be best targeted by these inhibitory compounds.
Dr. Sos’ studies will also improve our understanding of all cellular pathways involved in the context of MYC-driven cancer metabolism, laying the groundwork for effective targeting of MYC-driven cancers.

If you are charged with child molestation, cruelty to children, or any crime, in Georgia, where a child is the alleged victim, the State will fie a Motion to Admit Child Hearsay testimony.
This is pursuant to O.C.G.A. 24-8-820. This status is the Georgia Child Hearsay Statute.
O.C.G.A. 24-8-820 reads as follows:
(a) A statement made by a child younger than 16 years of age describing any act of sexual contact or physical abuse performed with or on such child by another or with or on another in the presence of such child shall be admissible in evidence by the testimony of the person to whom made if the proponent of such statement provides notice to the adverse party prior to trial of the intention to use such out-of-court statement and such child testifies at trial, unless the adverse party forfeits or waives such child’s testimony as provide in this title, and, at the time of the testimony regarding the out-of-court statements, the person to whom the child made such statement is subject to cross-examination regarding the out-of-court statements.
All that is required is:
- Notice to the defendant of the State’s intention to use such statements.
- The child testifying at trial, unless the defendant waives it.
- The person to whom the statements were made is subject to cross-examination.
You will need to be prepared to challenge the credibility and the underlying facts of any witness who takes the stand against you and claims that the child made statements to them about the sexual contact or physical abuse. Do not waive the child’s presence at trial. Make the child testify.
In cases of child molestation, there is rarely physical evidence. The entire case comes down to credibility. It is the defendant’s credibility vs. the child’s and the child’s witness’s credibility. Do not forfeit the right to a thorough cross-examination of the child and their witnesses.
These child hearsay witnesses can include testimony of physicians, investigators, parents, other family members, forensic interviewers and any other person who spoke to the child about the allegations.
You must be prepared to challenge each of these statements.
Child Molestation and Cruelty to Children carry severe penalties in Georgia. Do not make statements to the police about the allegations. You must hire a qualified attorney and be prepared to vigorously fight your case at trial.
Please call us at 404-581-0999 if you are charged with any crime involving a child in Georgia. | <urn:uuid:68427ca0-8029-448f-ae3c-27b80202d836> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.peachstatelawyer.com/child-hearsay-in-georgia/ | 2023-09-28T17:54:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.937696 | 546 |

Make your next camping trip the most sustainable yet by making eco-friendly choices. Camping is about going on an adventure while getting up close and personal with the beautiful nature around you. To ensure that natural beauty can be appreciated for years, seek a greener, cleaner way to vacation.
1. Choose The Right Power
Camping might be about getting into nature, exploring, and having an adventure solo or with loved ones, but plenty of people still want to be in touch with the world. Campers often need access to a working cell at the very least, meaning the ability to charge devices is crucial.
Gone are the days when you must leave your car running to power your many devices. Nor do you need gas or electric generators that make loud noises or pollution. Now, with the sun’s power, you can get clean, green energy with solar generators, like these from EcoFlow.
You can collect, store, and power with clean energy that won’t harm the environment. And beyond your trip, they’re the perfect device to have at hand back home.
2. Choose A Good Location
Exploring is fantastic, but traveling miles in a petrol car isn’t. So, consider staying more local for your next trip for a greener vacation.
Perhaps you’ve been longing to travel to a more remote location, and that’s fine, but stay local to the area you travel to. Make sure you can explore your surroundings by walking, cycling, or bus so that once you arrive, you keep CO2 emissions to a minimum.
If you travel by SUV, you should be aware that you, more than most, must keep your travel distance to a minimum due to an SUV’s catastrophic environmental impact.
3. Prep, Don’t Buy
If you prep your meals before you go on your vacation, you won’t need to buy produce with unhelpful wrappings like plastic. Plus, it’ll save you money in the process. So with some planning, you can reduce the need for power to cook the food and the potential of littering and contributing to a landfill.
4. Say Bye To Plastic
Plastics are bad for the environment because they produce toxins in landfill sites that end up in our water, food, and, ultimately, our bodies. To avoid microplastics and help the environment, avoid buying food wrapped in plastic and use a reusable stainless steel bottle. That way, you won’t be purchasing countless numbers of single-use plastic, and it will save you money!
There are loads of great ways to reduce your plastic intake. If you need to buy supplies while you camp, consider the following:
- Taking a reusable bag (bag for life)
- Only buying fresh produce (without wrappings)
With determination and research, it’ll be easier than you imagined.
5. Respect Wildlife and Nature
When embarking on a camping adventure, it is crucial to remember that you are a guest in the natural habitat of various wildlife species. Respecting and preserving their environment is essential for their well-being and the overall ecological balance. Here are some key practices to ensure you respect wildlife and nature during your camping trip:
Observe wildlife from a distance and refrain from feeding or approaching them
- Enjoy the beauty of wildlife from afar, using binoculars or a camera with a zoom lens.
- Do not attempt to feed or touch wild animals, as it disrupts their natural behavior and can be harmful to their health.
- Keep in mind that human food is not suitable for wildlife and can lead to dependency and aggressive behavior.
Stay on designated trails and avoid damaging vegetation
- Stick to established trails and paths to minimize your impact on fragile ecosystems.
- Avoid stepping on vegetation, especially in sensitive areas such as meadows or wetlands.
- Be mindful of the natural surroundings and take extra care when setting up camp or sitting down to avoid damaging plants or disturbing wildlife habitats.
Dispose of waste properly, including food scraps, to avoid attracting animals
- Always pack out what you pack in. Bring garbage bags and make sure to properly dispose of any waste, including food scraps and packaging.
- Avoid leaving any trace of food or waste at your campsite that could attract animals. Use bear-resistant containers if necessary.
- Never bury or burn trash, as it can harm the environment and wildlife.
By respecting wildlife and nature, you contribute to the preservation of natural ecosystems and help maintain the delicate balance of the environment. Remember, the goal is to leave the wilderness as untouched as possible so that future generations can also experience its wonders.
6. Conserve Water
Water is a precious resource, especially when camping in nature where access to clean water may be limited. Conserving water not only ensures that you have an ample supply throughout your camping adventure but also reduces your environmental impact. Here are some effective ways to conserve water while camping:
Use water sparingly and avoid wastage
- Be conscious of your water usage by turning off taps tightly to prevent leaks and drips.
- Take shorter showers or consider using wet wipes and dry shampoo to conserve water.
- When washing dishes, use a basin or collapsible sink to minimize water usage instead of letting the faucet run continuously.
Bring a water filtration system or purification tablets to reduce reliance on bottled water
- Instead of relying solely on bottled water, invest in a portable water filtration system or carry water purification tablets.
- These devices and tablets can effectively treat water from natural sources such as rivers or lakes, making it safe for drinking.
- By using these methods, you can minimize the need for single-use plastic bottles and reduce waste.
Utilize eco-friendly products for personal hygiene and cleaning
- Choose biodegradable and environmentally friendly soap, shampoo, and detergents.
- Look for products specifically labeled as safe for the environment and avoid those containing harmful chemicals.
- When cleaning dishes or personal items, use minimal amounts of these products to reduce their impact on the surrounding ecosystem.
Remember, every drop of water counts when camping sustainably. By being mindful of your water usage, you not only conserve this precious resource but also contribute to the preservation of nature’s delicate balance.
Camping is an excellent opportunity to put your green fingers to the test! Make sure you find time before your next trip to prepare and pledge to be sustainable so the nature around you can be enjoyed for years to come! | <urn:uuid:e75cbab6-3b29-4157-931a-a2dfd2fc0750> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.pensacolavoice.com/make-camping-adventure-sustainable/ | 2023-09-28T17:43:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.917719 | 1,355 |
For many, cosmetic dentistry is an important part of their beauty routine, especially teeth whitening. If you have an interest in this smile-enhancing treatment, you’re probably wondering, “How much is teeth whitening in Coconut Grove?” Read on to find out!
When it comes to questions like, “How much is teeth whitening in Coconut Grove,” there’s no one set price. It depends on the type of whitening treatment you receive and whether it’s professional or DIY. That being said, a range of $20 to more than $1,800 can be expected.
Teeth whitening achieved via laser costs $300 to $1,800. Take-home kits provided and customized by your dentist range from $100 to $400. In-office bleaching can cost an average of $650.
Ultimately, it hinges on the type of treatment and the extent of your staining. If you have particularly bad staining, you may require a deeper whitening treatment, which raises the overall cost. That said, professional whitening gives you the best bang for your buck.
Professional whitening is more often than not worth it, given that it’s not only personalized to your exact needs, but it’s also much safer than alternatives. Yes, there are less costly whitening options.
At-home whitening kits not administered or supervised by a dentist range from $20 to $300, however these kits are typically not as effective as professional whitening, aren’t customized to your needs, and can even be dangerous, causing harm to your enamel and gums.
Bottom line: play it safe and effective by going to your dentist for whitening treatments that are actually worth the price.

Has your dentist recommended a root canal in Coral Gables to eliminate your tooth pain? If so, it’s essential you prepare ahead of time whenever possible. Following these steps helps ensure your procedure goes as smoothly as it can.
You should be as healthy as possible when having a root canal, and one key component to good health is good sleep. Rest is beneficial to your immune system, which aids in the healing process.
Immediately following your root canal, you’ll be on a restricted diet. This means soft foods and liquids for up to a week after your procedure. If you do not already eat a well-balanced diet, now is the time. Get yourself in tip-top shape before your root canal! This will give your immune system another valuable boost.
Your root canal specialist is going to provide you with specific post-treatment instructions. Make sure you understand what you should and should not do after your root canal in Coral Gables. If you’re unclear, never be afraid to ask questions.
It’s likely you’ll receive a prescription for an antibiotic before your root canal appointment. It’s important you take it beforehand to kill any bacteria in the tooth or teeth that need the procedure.
It’s also possible you’ll get a prescription for a painkiller to take afterward. Ask about getting this prescription filled before your appointment. There is a good chance you won’t feel up to stopping by a pharmacy after your procedure, so you’ll want the pain killer waiting for you when you get home.
At People’s First, Dr. Omar X. Villavicencio leads our team with the belief that people really do come first. We are dedicated to providing the absolute best in dental care. If you need a root canal or are experiencing tooth pain, we encourage you to contact us at 786-321-7035 to schedule your appointment today! | <urn:uuid:a7a80c45-3200-4320-ad1a-ea522e56626b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.peoplefirstdentistry.com/how-to-prep-for-a-root-canal-in-coral-gables/ | 2023-09-28T17:20:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.924394 | 400 |

Kralanh High School
On Friday 11th January, PEPY Empowering Youth organized Kralanh High School’s first Sharing Event of 2019. This event encourages students to explore new ideas for their futures and exposes them to new experiences from professionals and other local role models. We invited three guest speakers, Mr. Lok Ratanak, Mr. Soeum Hoeung and Mr. Lam Lay who kindly spent their time to share their experiences with 373 students and 4 teachers in Kralanh High School, as well as Kumro Secondary School’s principal and 3 representatives from BBU University.
Mr. Lam Lay is currently working in two different fields, as an author and part time as a human resource officer. “Detached Perspective” was his first book which was published last year and sold all around Cambodia. His second book is currently being edited. As a human resource manager, his work includes staff recruitment and work orientation. Having grown up in a farming family, he values and continues to do farming. He grows his own vegetables at home even though he has a very busy schedule at work and school. At the age of 21, he seems very successful in his life. However if we look back to 2016, Lay actually failed his grade 12 national exam. Due to family encouragement and self-motivation he was able to study hard and eventually pass the exam.
Miss. Soeum Hoeung is a Scholarship Officer at Cambodian Women’s Crisis Center (CWCC) in Kralanh. When she was young she dreamed to take a flight somewhere around the world after seeing planes when she and her friends were flying kites. Her family’s main source of income was producing rice spirits to sell. Her mother worked very hard to earn enough money to support her kids to go to school. Wanting to lighten the burden of her mother, Hoeung worked a dangerous job collecting tamarind leaves to earn money support herself. Luckily, when she reached high school, a few teachers let her study in their part time classes for free so that she could catch up with her peers. She now has a good job where she can work to support her community especially marginalized and threatened women. She has also traveled to many countries around the world.
Mr. Lok Ratanak, a financial manager at Sokha Hotel in Siem Reap, has experienced failure many times but despite this picked himself back up again and again. He was born during the war and was forced to be a soldier. However, he managed to get out of being in the army and had many jobs. However, two of the businesses he worked at closed, and another caused serious health issues, and soon became hopeless about being able to provide for himself. However, he managed to find work again at different financial institutions, determined to move up the ranks from assistant to manager. Now that he has succeeded, his message to students is to not give up on your dreams.
Besides the above guest speakers, 2 students from Dream Class and 2 others from the Learning Center bravely shared about their stories of and advice for overcoming life challenges on stage.
Some participants said that the stories inspired them and it was empowering to see their friends speak so confidently. They suggested that we should conduct it every year and that they want to share on stage also.
28 Makara High School, Srei Snam
Srei Snom’s Sharing Even happened on January 25th 2019 at 28 Makara High School. In addition to Mr. Rith Sarakk, Executive Director of PEPY, 3 other local leaders were present to give introductions to the event: Mr. Thi Theng, Deputy Director of 28 Makara High School and Mr. Mek Merl, a representative from the Ministry of Education Youth and Sport in Srei Snam district.
We invited three excellent guest speakers from different fields to share their experiences to 509 students and 30 teachers. Participants expressed appreciation for the speakers’ lessons about self-motivation, positive thinking, self-love, and surrounding oneself with good and forward-thinking people. Many students asked to keep in touch with the guest speakers to learn more about how to apply these lessons to their own futures.
The first speaker, Mr. Meas Saophea, is a student at IFL of Phumen Phnom Penh University and he is working as a teacher trainer. He also had his own business called “Green Farm.” The lesson he tried to emphasize to all students is how important it is to have a positive mindset good habits, especially when it comes to studying independently.
Ms. Sor Seileang, speaking second, is Head Marketing and Human Relations Officer at Angkor University and has been involved in social work in Siem Reap province for many years. In her opinion, youth are essential to the development of the country, as they are vital human resources for social and economic growth. She gave tips on building self-confidence and preparing to study different majors at university. “I hope everyone here will think long-term about the life goals, and do what you love. If you want to change the world, you have to change yourself first,” she said.
Mr. Soun Kheun, a training manager at Manulife, came for his second time as a Sharing Event guest speaker. He used to work at Lataste organization as Executive Director, and he is also an English lecturer at Build Bright University. His topic was “Dare to Be Different.” He advised students to work hard and pursue their passions despite the judgment of others; this, he said, is important to being a goal-oriented leader.
One student from Dream Class, Doeurn also discussed how Dream Class has helped her manage her emotions and improve her attitude, specifically by making her less shy and able to communicate with new people. 2 Scholarship students discussed what they have learned so far at the PEPY Learning Center, including what it’s like to live and study in Siem Reap. One additional student, Ousa (a Scholarship student who finished at the Learning Center last year) from 28 Makara HS shared her story of change and how much she has improved after being a PEPY student. She was a great role model showcasing the benefits that higher education can have. | <urn:uuid:686d653a-134c-44e8-bb55-943a825164bf> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.pepyempoweringyouth.org/sharing-events-kralanh-srei-snom/ | 2023-09-28T17:02:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.985519 | 1,321 |

Hematuria, or bloody urination, can be terrifying when you are uncertain what caused it in your cat. Bright red blood can be seen in the urine of cats for multiple reasons, ranging from bacterial infection to general inflammation from stress. Diagnosis of the underlying cause of the hematuria is necessary to start the right treatment for your cat.
Not sure whether to see a vet?
What Does Blood in Cat Urine Look Like?
Cat urine should be a light-yellow color with a slight odor of ammonia. Darker yellow and more potent urine can be noted with dehydration or after a long time of rest (such as after not urinating overnight), and this is usually considered normal.
If bright red blood, pink tinge to the urine, orange discoloration, or brown discoloration is noted or if the urine seems to be foamy or has blood clots in it, then a visit to the veterinarian is needed to further investigate the cause of these changes in color and consistency.
Sometimes no other symptoms are noted with this bloody urination, which is why it is so important to watch the litter box closely for any changes in urination or defecation.
Other common clinical signs that can be found alongside bloody urination include:
Straining to urinate
Frequent visits to the litter box
Changes in appetite
Drinking more water
What To Do if Your Cat Is Peeing Blood
If you notice blood in your cat’s urine or any of the above clinical signs, contact your veterinarian immediately.
If you have a male cat at home that is visiting the litter box frequently, straining to urinate with little to no urine production, or is licking at their penis consistently, bring them to a veterinarian immediately for evaluation of a possible urinary blockage. Blockage of the urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside environment) is considered a medical emergency, and if not diagnosed and treated as soon as possible, it is fatal.
What Causes Blood in Cat Urine?
There are many causes of hematuria in cats, depending on where the underlying medical issue is in the body. These causes include:
Upper urinary tract (including the kidneys and the ureters, the tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder)
Polycystic kidney disease or renal dysplasia: These are genetic conditions where the kidney(s) do not form correctly and do not function well.
Trauma: Inflammation or trauma to the kidneys or ureters can lead to blood in the urine.
Neoplasia: Specifically renal lymphoma, which is one of the most common kidney cancers in cats.
Infection: Bacteria can invade the kidneys, causing a condition called pyelonephritis. Some viruses (including feline leukemia) can lead to renal lymphoma or a type of cancer of the kidneys leading to inflammation and infection.
Idiopathic causes: This refers to inflammation of the kidneys or ureters not caused by bacteria, viruses, neoplasia, or trauma (the reason is unknown).
Lower urinary tract (including the bladder and urethra, also the prostate and penis in male cats and the vulva in female cats)
Infections, bacterial most commonly
Genetic abnormalities of the bladder or urethra: These are rare in cats.
Other possible causes:
Chemotherapy: Certain types of chemotherapeutic drugs can cause sterile inflammation of the bladder, leading to blood in the urine.
Estrus: A female unspayed cat that is going through heat can show blood in the urine; this is normal.
Clotting abnormalities: Rat poison ingestion, immune-mediated diseases (such as thrombocytopenia), or genetic causes of clotting deficiencies can all lead to bright red blood in the urine.
Vasculitis: Leaky blood vessels due to inflammation can lead to blood in the urine.
How Veterinarians Diagnose the Cause of Blood in Cat Urine
A detailed history of your cat’s symptoms, previous medical issues, and any current medications as well as a thorough physical examination are the first steps in diagnosis of hematuria. History alone can help your veterinarian determine what could be causing your cat’s clinical signs. It is important to tell your vet of any supplements or food that you are giving your cat, as some of these can interfere with urine testing.
Full bloodwork and urine testing are often the first diagnostic tests recommended when diagnosing hematuria. Abdominal radiographs and abdominal ultrasound are also often used to further assess the urinary tract for any stones or malformations.
Sometimes cystoscopy is recommended, which is where a small video camera/biopsy instrument is put into the urethra and bladder to check the lining of these organs. If masses are seen, a biopsy can be done for definitive diagnosis.
Treatment for Cats That Are Peeing Blood
Treatment of hematuria depends on the underlying cause. When a male cat becomes blocked and cannot urinate, unblocking their urethra under sedation is necessary. This requires hospitalization, often for one or two nights, to monitor urination. Some urinary tract stones can be dissolved with prescription diet changes while others require surgical removal. Surgery often requires at least one to two nights in the hospital for pain control and close monitoring.
Urinary tract infections are treated with antibiotic therapy, which is often decided by a urine culture and additional testing. These do not usually require hospitalization. Kidney infection that causes elevations in kidney enzymes or severe dehydration often requires hospitalization with fluid therapy and intravenous antibiotics for several days.
Cancer often requires surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy for remission or improvement. Systemic diseases such as chronic kidney disease will need management and therapy with fluids, diet changes, and often supplements. These systemic diseases require diagnosis and therapy to clear up the blood in the urine, and hospitalization depends on how bad the symptoms are.
The most common cause of blood in the urine in cats, FIC, is treated in several ways. Decreased stress in the environment is the most important point of therapy, since stress is the major cause of this condition. Fluid therapy, pain medications, anti-spasm medications for the urethra, and sometimes behavior modification medications are used for treatment of this condition.
Unfortunately, even with the proper therapy, blood can continue or recur in the urine. If this occurs, lifelong management changes may be necessary and will need to be discussed with your veterinarian.
Preventing Blood in Cat Urine
Hematuria prevention is tailored to the underlying cause. Any cat with urinary tract issues, especially if they are frequent and recurring, can be helped with environmental and diet changes.
Cats with FIC need to be in a low-stress environment. Giving your cat a quiet room to stay in, their own food and water bowls, and their own litter box and toys are all helpful if they are experiencing anxiety. The rule of thumb should be one litter box per cat and an additional litter box in the household (for example: if you have three cats, you should have four litter boxes).
High perches and plenty of stimulating toys can be helpful to reduce stress levels in the home. Keeping litter boxes and beds away from loud machines such as clothes dryers or dishwashers is also helpful, along with keeping the litter boxes and beds clean. Cats are neat animals and they can get stressed out by a dirty litter box.
It is important to ensure that your cat is eating a well-balanced cat food based on their life stage. Cats with urinary tract inflammation are often eased onto prescription diets that can help maintain a normal urine pH. These include:
Canned food is also preferred over dry kibble because of its higher moisture content.
Improving overall water intake is helpful in lessening hematuria or urinary tract signs. Adding several bowls of fresh water around the house, a water fountain, or even adding water to the food can increase water intake. The goal is proper hydration to lower the urine concentration. This makes for an environment that is less prone to crystal formation, stone formation, and even some bacteria.
Urinary tract probiotic supplements can also be helpful when used in cats with frequent infections, stones, crystals, or idiopathic FIC. These include:
- Purina® FortiFlora® Powder Supplement
- VetriScience® Liquid Supplement
- VetriScience® UT Strength Soft Chews
- Other options discussed with your veterinarian
There is new litter made of silica gel on the market that can help determine underlying issues with your cat’s urine. One specific brand, Pretty Litter®, changes color depending on the pH of the urine and if blood is noted.
If you notice blood in your cat’s urine, bring your cat to a veterinarian. Blood in urine is almost never considered normal and can sometimes be an indicator of serious medical issues. The sooner your cat is checked, the sooner testing and treatment can be started to help your cat feel better.

Forehead acne appears on your forehead and is marked by small, red bumps or papules and is important to treat just like acne in other areas of your face or body. Find out what forehead acne is and the different treatments, including both prescriptions and over-the-counter medicines. You’ll find product links available at most pharmacies and online that you may want to try if you are struggling with forehead acne.
What is forehead acne?
The forehead is a sensitive area of the skin that can also suffer from acne breakouts just like in other areas of your face and body. A breakout occurs when pores become clogged from excess oil, dirt, or dead skin cells. When you touch or rub your forehead, you can introduce bacteria to your forehead causing acne.
When forehead acne occurs, it often looks like a small group of papules, or red bumps that form around the hairline and on the forehead. Sometimes forehead acne can also lead to more severe breakouts on the forehead itself. If you have been experiencing these types of symptoms for over two weeks, you may be dealing with forehead acne. Even something as simple as wearing a hat or headband can cause forehead acne.
It is always best to see your dermatologist or doctor regarding what treatments and preventative measures work best for you.
What are the different types of forehead acne?
Forehead acne is a type of acne that can happen in different ways. It may be caused by something like seborrhea or seborrheic dermatitis which is more common if you have oily skin. Comedonal acne usually develops on the forehead and chin. Mechanical acne (also known as acne mechanica) is forehead acne from friction or pressure on the skin. Pomade acne is caused by thick and greasy hair products when they touch the forehead.
Seborrheic dermatitis mainly affects the scalp, but can show up in other oily areas like your face and forehead. The condition creates a red, itchy rash and white scales.
This type of acne makes an appearance on the forehead and chin. The spots look like small, flesh-colored acne papules. They can appear as blackheads or whiteheads.
This type of acne shows up as lesions caused by friction from an item like a hat or helmet rubbing against the skin. It also can be caused by heat and is common in athletes and students. When you sweat, the oil can act as an irritant when working in hot temperatures. If you are already prone to acne breakouts, then mechanical acne is also common. The appearance of small papules that can become inflamed is an identifier.
Pomade acne is bump-like acne on the forehead that develops as a result of applying oil-based hair products. The product migrates to the scalp and creates acne along the forehead, hairline, and temples. The acne can clog pores causing whiteheads and blackheads.
How do you prevent forehead acne?
The best treatment for forehead acne is prevention! There are many things you can do to prevent forehead acne and we will cover a few of the most common preventative measures.
To prevent forehead acne you should:
- Avoid touching your forehead with your hands as doing this will deposit oils on the surface of the skin which can lead to breakouts.
- Wash your forehead (or any other part of your body that may develop acne) daily using a clean towel or washcloth to remove the soap, water, dirt, and oil.
- Wear loose, breathable clothing and avoid tight-fitting clothing. If you can, avoid wearing hats, helmets, and headbands.
- Do not get your head too close to certain equipment at work that produces smoke and oils or causes excessive sweating.
- Use an exfoliator twice weekly and apply a retinoid cream daily if necessary to prevent oil production by the hair follicles.
You should also limit how often you wash your face because overwashing may irritate pores breaking down their protective outer layer allowing bacteria easier access into pores and causing more oil production and breakout formation. When washing your face, be sure not to scrub your skin harshly.
What is the best treatment for forehead acne?
The best treatment for forehead acne varies, depending on what is the cause and how severe it is. Given that forehead acne shares many similarities with other types of breakouts, there are two ways for you to handle a breakout at home: with over-the-counter treatments or with prescription medications.
Treatments can include antibiotics (to reduce bacterial infection), topical retinoids (which help unclog pores), and benzoyl peroxide (a common ingredient in over-the-counter face washes that helps prevent bacteria from thriving). Any medication used to fight forehead acne should be applied only after consulting your doctor because some medications might have undesirable side effects when applied to the forehead.
For some people their forehead acne will clear up with topical treatments like benzoyl peroxide without additional intervention. For others, you may need to make lifestyle changes or see a dermatologist for more aggressive treatment options like isotretinoin tablets or tetracycline pills.
The most common type of forehead acne is comedonal forehead acne and it usually responds well to topical over-the-counter treatments. Benzoyl peroxide can help remove excess oil from pores preventing pimples from forming.
Inflammatory cystic lesions, a result of a clogged sebaceous gland, may require oral antibiotics through a prescription.
The most popular prescriptions for forehead acne are isotretinoin and tetracyclines. These medications can have significant side effects like dry skin, peeling, redness, and inflammation of the lips or eyes that need to be managed with a doctor’s care.
If you determine that your forehead acne may be caused by hormones, then the best treatment might be hormonal contraceptives for women or a topical medication like spironolactone cream for both men and women.
If you are not sure how to address forehead acne, consult your dermatologist about different treatment options that work for various types of forehead acne including comedonal forehead acne, inflammatory cystic lesions, or other complications such as scarring from previous bouts of inflammation and redness.
Where can I find treatments?
If you have forehead acne then understanding what type it falls under will help determine which treatments are best for your forehead acne. Comedonal forehead acne may be a result of excess oil production or clogged pores where there is no pus. Inflammatory cystic lesions are typically caused by inflammation and pimple formation from bacteria which leads to redness in the area that is not infected with pus.
Different types of forehead acne require different treatments, so understanding what type you have will help find the right treatment that works best for you. You may find an over-the-counter topical treatment from a local pharmacy works well, or you may need to see your dermatologist for a more aggressive acne treatment.
You should be able to find acne treatments at your local pharmacy like Walmart, RiteAid, CVS, and Walgreens, and online pharmacies like Hims, Hers and NavaMD. Please see the links below.

If your child loves trains, you must check out the Adobe Mountain Desert Railroad Park in Glendale. This destination has free train rides, museums, a little bit of history and your kids can even drive a train!
The first stop was riding the train of course! This land is part of the Maricopa County Park District which requires all visitors and members of various clubs using the park to complete their General Release Waiver, so you can sign it ahead of time here before your first visit.
The rides are free, however, donations are how the society keeps its doors open. We donate every ride, and again as we leave the museum. There is a safety video you must watch before getting on.
You can visit every Sunday, Oct – April between 11 am & 3 pm and take a ride on the trains. Rides are free, and a train ride is a great way to spend some family time together. They run multiple routes, so you can experience different views in the park. Rides last about 10 minutes and are actually quite nice. The train cars are a little small, there are some seats saved for adults only and they don’t allow kids on them. The rules are very strict, your feet must remain inside the train. It can rock a little if people are moving around a lot, however, the train conductor will stop and yell at you if you don’t obey the rules.
Sahuaro Central Railroad Museum
You can hop on the train and it will take you to the Sahuaro Central Railroad Museum for 10 minutes so you can look around. You can also access this by car, so don’t worry if you don’t see it all. In fact, 10 minutes is not nearly enough. I could spend all day in the Sahuaro Central Railroad Museum. It’s a “do not touch” kind of museum. I was grateful they had a train table for kids to play with while I looked around.

This fun train runs on tracks so you can watch. We spotted a Thomas and Percey train chugging along.
Arizona Model Railroad Society
The Maricopa Live Steamers Railroad Heritage Preservation Society is a club for establishing, operating, and maintaining educational operating facilities for the use and enjoyment of the public using scale model railroad equipment. These are the people building the trains, and the ones preserving the history. Basically, they are the ones you want teaching you about trains!
Birthday Parties and More
MLS is the perfect place for birthday parties, company picnics, reunions, meetings, and other functions. The party areas are available on Sundays during our regular run season and can be scheduled any time between 11 am & 3 pm. There was a birthday party near the entrance of the train loading station for a 7-year-old and they were running all over the park.
Note that this isn’t a flashy park, but if you have a train lover it’s totally worth it in my opinion. However, I did overhear a few parents complaining about the drive out there. There are other ramada areas on the other side of the main train station that may be available for renting as well.
View of the tables from the train!
I could not get enough of how they turned all the old freight train boxes into a little town. There was a hotel, dentist, flower shop, church, and even a payphone! The kids were pretty disappointed that the sweets shop was not real.
Drive a Train
We saved the best for last. The kids got to learn how to drive a train! 2 horn beeps to go forward and 3 to reverse, max speed 2.5 mph so you get to see the joy on the kid’s faces.
Getting instructions from the teacher.

Would you like to be able to view and save thermal images using your smartphone, whether for work or just for fun? Thanks to technological advances, it is possible today to do this without buying a very expensive dedicated camera.
Read on to learn all the options you have to get thermal imaging on your cell phone.
To be able to view and save thermal images on a cell phone, your options include buying a thermal imaging cell phone attachment, buying a phone with an integrated thermal camera, using a thermal app, and modifying your existing phone. More about all these later but lets get into the basics.
Thermal imaging is a useful technology that provides vision at night. The technique identifies subjects by detecting heat from human and animal bodies. Unlike images from ordinary cameras, thermal images do not show the actual color of the scene. This means that the color shown on the screen does not represent the exact color on the ground. That is, red color represents thermal radiations, and blue represents coldness.
What Exactly Is A Thermal Imaging Camera?
A thermal imaging camera is an imaging device that registers heat sensor waves, which is capable of detecting a variance is temperature change. A thermal imager camera works by collecting and detecting infrared radiation from various objects in a scene registering the information as an electronic image showcasing the difference in temperature.
Unlike newer technology designed for making a smartphone thermal camera, most thermal devices are large and cumbersome and need human physical effort and wheels to move about. The imager makes use of a controller, which initiates an image capture system to show an accurate representation of the IV radiation.
For this to work, the infrared sensor detects the various infrared wavelengths emitted by an object. Nonetheless, for it to imprint, an additional optical lens is added to the imager, which virtually overlays over the infrared imager providing additional detailing to the captured image.
With increased technological improvement, most imagers can give an instant visual image of the image captured. Unlike previous systems, you can upload the pictures via a Bluetooth network to another device that you can use for viewing later. Additionally, in tandem with recently released android thermal camera app, you can send the images to others via internet connection in real-time, allowing others also to view temperature change variation. The real-time sharing aspect is especially useful in a work environment hence able to assist when needed.
How Thermal Imaging Cameras Work
The thermal imaging camera utilizes a combination of circuits and sensors in the creation of a usable visual image.
Point the thermal imaging device in the general direction of the object or area that requires scanning. The camera lens works by detecting the infrared light emitted by objects within the point of view of the glass.
Scanning of the focused light is achievable, which is varied depending on the focusable power of the lens using a wide array of infrared detectors.
The infrared detector then transfers the scanned image surroundings into temperature pattern in a thermogram. The images produced by the thermogram are at a rapid speed of one-thirteenth of a second, creating a precise and detailed temperature pattern.
At this point, the thermal detector translates the images detected by the thermogram into electric impulses. The electrical impulses transfer to a circuit board, which in turn further decodes the information from the thermal imaging camera detector using specialized chips. As a result, you can get useable data for display on the thermal camera display unit for viewing.
Overall, the signal processing unit sends additional infrared information depending on the various temperature difference of the environment. Plotting of the discrepancies is in varying colors which primarily rely on the heat intensity with red being the hottest and blue being the coldest infrared emission
Simple Ways To Get Thermal Imaging To Work On Your Cellphone
Thermal images are useful for surveillance, navigation, firefighting, HVAC checks, military, and monitoring. Below are some ways in which you can get thermal imaging on your phone.
1. FLIR ONE
Flir is a famous company known for producing thermal imaging cameras. Flir One captures thermal signatures and enables your phone to store the image. It captures the thermal images and dark edges of the visible spectrum and blends both pictures to give the user a clear vision.
However, the original FLIR One had low resolution and required separate charging. Luckily, FLIR ONE now has a pro model that produces higher resolution images and supports VividIR image processing. This model has a companion app that offers extra features, such as selectable on-screen temperature tracking regions.

Seek thermal camera allows you to capture thermal images from your scene. These cameras come with a lightning connector. A lighting connector is a simple device that connects your iPhone with other peripheral devices. But note, a Seek thermal compact camera is only compatible with Apple’s smartphone.
This camera comes with four modes of operation.
a) There is a traditional camera mode that operates as a regular camera.
b) Temperatures mode is used to detect the temperature in a specific spot.
c) Threshold mode allows you to set temperate above which the camera captures thermal images.
d) Lastly, we have the high-low mode.
The good thing about Seek thermal camera is this versatile device turns your smartphone into a thermal camera. But, you must connect your phone to an app.
Click here to see more information and current pricing on the SEEK.
3. Cat S60
Cat S60 is a smartphone integrated with thermal imaging capabilities. The Caterpillar organization produces this smartphone. Caterpillar is a famous company that manufactures machines. These new smartphones are suitable for military personnel and are water-resistant.
Additionally, it can withstand water pressure up to a depth of 5 meters. The device comes with a lockdown button that uses a shutter to lock down microphones and speakers. Also, it uses the thermal imaging technique to produce standard images that blend with regular photos.
Click here to see more information and current pricing on the CAT.
4. Thermal app
The thermal app is a connection between your thermal camera and phones. It is in an ideal app for android users. The good thing is that it has a standard lens mount suitable for various lens sizes. Compared to thermal cameras, it has relatively low-temperature sensing ranging between 41 and 194 degrees Celsius.
5. Phone remodeling
All smartphones have a sensor plate and lenses and other devices that support circular lens assembly. The lens assembly consists of a small filter known as the IR filter, which is known for its red color. However, IR filters do not capture IR radiations. Such is the reason why regular photographs do not show any emissions.
Thus, instead of utilizing a thermal app download, you can turn your smartphone into a thermal camera by removing the IR filter. However, you should be extremely careful to avoid damaging other parts and then assemble all parts carefully without the screen. Your phone will now work as a thermal imaging camera. To avoid discrepancies and other problems, you may want to first try out with an old phone.
Things to Look For When Investing In Additional Thermal Imaging Gear
Unfortunately, most of the apps in the market are geared for making novelty images and are designed to mimic the look of thermal imaging without being accurate. Additionally, most phones in the market have filters on their cameras that keep making it impossible to attain thermal imaging. Unfortunately, unless you have the necessary skills to turn your phone into a thermal camera, you will end up destroying the camera on your phone leading to further damage to your phone.
Whether you are purchasing the cheapest thermal camera or a slightly expensive one, investing in the right kind of equipment is the right start of detecting infrared light. When searching for one, consider the various sizes of the thermal sensor. Ideally, the larger the thermal sensor, the more accurate the results achieved. When looking for a high-end sensor, consider the 320 x 240 Thermal size sensor
Field Of View
In tandem with the thermal sensor, the field of view also affects the kind of imaging that you will receive. Ideally, most thermal imaging devices in the market provide a range of 15° field of view. Though sufficient for everyday chores like fixing water leakages and the likes, its highly ineffective when setting the HVAC system or in the use of animal detection and rescue and use by firefighters. To ensure you have sufficient coverage, consider choosing equipment providing you with 32° Field of View.
Investing in equipment that provides you with the right frame rate is the simplest way of getting precise detailing on the area or object you are looking at. Unfortunately, most detectors in the market lack storage capabilities, which make it impossible to save images for later. Additionally, to ensure you are getting the right imaging, having a high frame rate is essential in conveying specific details about the area. For this reason, look for a device giving you an average of < 9 Hz Frame Rate.
The very best of the best-infrared app is useless if you are unable to use it within a suitable distance. Ideally, you only require a device with limited detection distance when using a heat detector in a domestic setup for minor fixes to save on time. However, in a commercial configuration, this is mainly impossible when results should be from a suitable safe distance.
Cases like animal recapture after a zoo escape or rescue of people in an unstable building are the most critical uses of heat detectors that need sufficient length. For this look for devices that give you between 1000 ft and 1800ft.
If you are planning on using the devices in extreme varying temperature, ensuring that your lens power can keep up is vital. The focusable length is essentially the full range of low or high temperature your thermal imaging device can pick up accurately. As expected, the focusable measurement is especially useful in an industrial manufacturing setup as it can detect easily without loss of operation. When choosing consider a focusable length of -40F° to 626°F Detection.
Even though the heat detector essentially scans high heat intensity, there is a great need to ensure that the device has adequate casing protection. Often, unless the sensor is in use in an open area, heat and water exist concurrently when in use as a cooling element. Including a waterproof casing is a sure way to safeguard your equipment from any water damage when in use.
Often the use of a thermogram in a heat detector creates a complex system that enables the creation of a heat image. Unfortunately, this by itself is an intricate system that causes it to be bulky. However, to allow for later viewing, there is a need for using a USB thermal camera. The USB compartment provides for the sharing of photos and videos that can then transfer to another device for viewing or documentation.
As you measure temperature difference, ensuring that the temperature range is large is essential. Consider the threshold of the device before purchase and decide if it’s suitable for the kind of environment it will work in. Take into account the high and low-temperature range to ensure it will work effectively in both extremes.
Additionally, look into things like a spot temperature, which allows you to know the exact temperature of an area for safety reasons.
The thermal imaging camera uses a wide range of colors to showcase the average temperature of an area of an object. Colors that show extremes are a red color for scorching temperatures and blue for relatively colder temperatures.
However, as there is a need to show the full range of temperatures, different colors like orange and green are in use. Fortunately, with improved technology, you can get up to 9 Color Palettes, which allows for accurate detailing.
The primary use of a thermal imager is to measure the amount of heat that an object emits. However, when you need to ensure safety in a potentially fatal environment, understanding the average temperature is vital. Choose a device with adjustable emissivity that can give you an accurate overview of the emitted energy. With this, you can differentiate between organic substances and non-organic substances, allowing you to know which is safe for handling.
Thermal imaging technology demand has increased significantly in the recent past. Thermal images are handy in search and rescue missions and enhancing security. The good news is that you can now use your phone for thermal imaging using the methods discussed above and it has become more affordable than ever.

Life expectancy among people with HIV receiving ART has significantly improved in Latin America and the Caribbean, according to a study published in The Lancet HIV. Investigators assessed life expectancy trends from 2003-2017 among people aged 16 and older with HIV beginning treatment with ART in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, and Peru. The analysis included 30,688 individuals (57.0% from Haiti). The study team noted 2,637 deaths during the study period, including 1,470 in Haiti and 1,167 from other sites. Over time, crude and weighted mortality rates decreased among all age groups. Life expectancy for people with HIV at age 20 increased from 13.9 years in 2003-2008 to 61.2 years in 2013-2017 in Haiti and from 31.0-69.5 years in other sites. At the end of the study period, life expectancies were within 10 years of those of the general population (69.9 years in Haiti and 78.0 years in all other sites). Across time, disparities persisted in life expectancy among people with HIV by sex or HIV transmission risk factor, CD4 cell count, level of education, and history of tuberculosis at or before ART initiation. “Our findings show that ART can narrow the gap in life expectancy for people with HIV in low-income and middleincome regions,” the authors write. | <urn:uuid:ae37d95e-ab13-4ff8-b2b7-6a9e43437701> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.physiciansweekly.com/art-ups-life-expectancy-for-hiv-in-low-middle-income-regions/ | 2023-09-28T17:34:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.946885 | 276 |

Downtown business owner David Schultz has spent years trying to get the Main Street Program up and running in Plant City. In 2016, it appears he’s finally seeing his hopes come to life.
Main Street leaders appointed a full board of directors Tuesday, Jan. 5, and created a plan for action for 2016. Main Street’s primary goal is to revitalize the downtown area, and find ways to draw both new businesses and consumers into the Historic District. The program is under the Florida Division of Historic Resources.
“The template calls for stakeholders to get involved, improving the downtown area,” Schultz says. “It calls for forming partnerships with the organizations that have the most influence and can help the most to achieve the objectives.”
Before Main Street, there was the Downtown Merchants Association, which was a collaboration of business owners working together to attract clients to stores and restaurants through events, sales, marketing and other means. It has now been converted to Main Street and has struck up new partnerships with the City of Plant City, Plant City Greater Chamber of Commerce and the Plant City Economic Development Corp.
The program has also filed for 501(c)(3) nonprofit status, rather than 501(c)(6) status.
“It means we can support a broader base,” Schultz says. “Whereas, with the Downtown Merchants Association, we could only work for its members.”
To allow Main Street to achieve its goal of helping businesses thrive in downtown and to create an inviting, family-friendly atmosphere, it has appointed 15 board members and formed four committees, each pertaining to the Main Street organization’s four-point approach: economic restructuring, promotion, organization and design.
Another new component of the Main Street program is its Tourism Task Force, which looks to be the driving force behind the group’s efforts to draw consumers to Plant City.
The idea for the task force came in late 2015, after approval to start the Main Street Project had been granted, and it had held its official kickoff meeting in mid-December.
Yvonne Fry, head of Fryed Egg Productions and Fresh Picked Talent, among other businesses, is leading the task force. Fry says that it’s possible to market Plant City as an attractive tourist destination beyond the Florida Strawberry Festival. It’s up to the task force to find the best ways to do so.
“There’s already amazing number of tourists who come here,” Fry says. “We want to capitalize on that. We also want to bring out reasons to be a day trip destination or a nighttime getaway.”
City Manager Mike Herr, Plant City EDC member Jake Austin, Recreation and Parks members Jack Holland and Tim Hanlon, Jarrett-Scott Ford owner Jim Scott and Strawberry Festival General Manager Paul Davis are also involved in Main Street discussions, and Patrick Harrison, with Visit Tampa Bay, was also present for the first meeting.
The task force will work hand-in-hand with Main Street, the City of Plant City, the Plant City EDC and the chamber. It also has plans to work with Visit Tampa Bay to gain a presence on social media platforms and to further utilize the #PlantCity hashtag on such mediums.
The group has scoured Plant City to single out what it believes to be the most attractive tourism options and plans to run further with them as 2016 progresses.
“We’re really looking to take introspective look at what’s here and how we can market this city,” Fry says. “We’re going to try to break it down into actual strategy.”
Besides the obvious Florida Strawberry Festival, the task force is planning on using Plant City’s location along the Interstate 4 to its advantage. It’s identified the Hillsborough County Fair and Dinosaur World as key items to promote, as well as unique Plant City businesses such as Keel and Curley Winery, Parkesdale Farm Market, Johnson’s Barbeque, Hole-in-One Donuts and Maryland Fried Chicken. It also plans to promote the city’s abundance of antique stores.
Another big area for the task force is the city’s sports scene. While Plant City has not had any major sporting presence since the Cincinnati Reds left town, the Recreation and Parks Department hosts a number of sporting events that draw thousands of people. Everything from the UYFL tournament to the CollClub Sports spring break baseball and softball tournaments is seen as marketable.
Plant City’s culture will also come into play. The task force considers the people of the community to be a selling point, along with the charm of the area. It is considering promoting chamber events, such as Car Show, Bike Fest and Pig Jam, and plans to use the Robert Willaford Railroad Museum to its advantage.
“There’s a lot going on in Plant City now,” Schultz says.
The group’s next meeting will be held at 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 13, at the Plant City Chamber of Commerce, and Fry says that this meeting will turn the wheels of action.
The public Main Street meetings will be held on the third Monday of every month at 5:30 p.m. at the Plant City Photo Archives. The next one will be held Jan. 18. | <urn:uuid:b90a5a2e-f7c7-4ee7-ad76-ff51e2fa6e65> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.plantcityedc.com/headlines/the-main-street-program-has-a-board-and-new-tourism-committee-to-focus-on-downtown/ | 2023-09-28T18:48:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.954069 | 1,129 |

From the PAX AUS 18 Showroom Floor – Soundfall & Totem Teller
As I passed this booth I could hear a pulsing beat paired with cool electronica vibes. It called to me and so I turned to find a few people bopping in time as they played some sort of top-down shoot’em up. Looking upward the beautiful banner informed me the game was called Soundfall but I didn’t really understand what I was in for yet.
I dragged my partner into the line with me after noticing a two player set up and soon we had headphones on and controllers in our hands. The demo itself is limited to a few weapons, levels, and only one character so we chose quickly and were soon placed in a bright and colourful isometric level.
The beat thumped and both of us having musical backgrounds almost immediately found ourselves bopping along like the people we’d watched before. A subtle bar appeared in the lower middle of the screen grading us on the timing of our neon attacks and we quickly realised that moving to the beat was exactly what this game was about.
Eagerly we played all three levels on offer and while it’s a small slice of game everything was exceptionally polished – especially for only being in development for two years with a relatively small team of only two main contributors at Drastic Games plus contractors.
While I always enjoy looking at the indie games on offer it’s not too often I am disappointed that I’ve exhausted the demo. This is going to be a great game at home with friends on your best speaker system or to get lost in alone on a long commute. Definitely look forward to this one when it launches on all platforms(I have contacted them to check this) in 2019.
A different game which drew my attention from the slew of indies was Grinning Pickle’s Totem Teller. On the show floor a friend explained to me it was an interesting experience and had a hard time giving me any more insight than that, so naturally I sought it out.
As I took a seat it was explained to me to hit a to get past the first text to start the demo. I felt like this was an explanation this man had probably given many times that day and was a little bit confused. After all, those seemed like normal instructions to me, so I settled in to find out what trip this game would take me on.
There’s something purposefully obscure about everything Totem Teller does. None of it feels accidental or like a mistake, it simply makes you work and think to do even the most basic of tasks.
The visual style is dithered and reminded me of the back of an intricate sewn pattern or the shell card back from the old windows Solitaire game. It’s smooth but interrupted with many changing colours and the existential text forms on it slowly in incorrect orders making you squint as you read it.
When it came time to control the game I started off thinking I was a completely different character and as nothing happened I started systematically trying more and more button combinations. Eventually, I discovered that movement was achieved by pointing the cursor and holding down one of the triggers.
This didn’t mean I knew where to go and eventually I couldn’t move any further. At this point, my trial and error taught me that repeatedly mashing ‘X’ teleported me to the next area… I don’t know if I could do this at any point or discovered it at the right time. All I know is Totem Teller made me feel smart for learning to walk and that’s a big achievement.
Once I’d come to the end of the demo I am still not too sure what the full experience of this game will be. Whether it’s just a journey in a beautifully different landscape or it it turns more to obscure puzzles wasn’t clear. But I am curious and it certainly left an impression on me that stuck out in my mind after the convention. | <urn:uuid:6a33bd81-59a1-4da2-b3ca-9eb1cd4913ca> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.player2.net.au/2018/10/from-the-pax-aus-18-showroom-floor-soundfall-totem-teller/ | 2023-09-28T18:37:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.971018 | 836 |

BERLIN — Ursula von der Leyen won’t run in Germany for a seat in the European Parliament in next year’s EU election — but may nevertheless become the center right’s lead candidate for a second term as president of the European Commission.
The German politician told her local branch of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) in the state of Lower Saxony that she doesn’t want a spot on the regional candidate list for the European Parliament election taking place next June, according to three CDU officials.
The European election takes place in all 27 member countries of the European Union, and decides which parties — and by extension, which individuals in them — shall hold key positions in European institutions. Currently, the pan-continental European People’s Party (EPP) is leading in polls.
Germany’s center-right CDU, which at the EU level is affiliated with the EPP, nominates its candidates for the European Parliament via local ballots. This means that von der Leyen would in theory need to run on the list of CDU candidates on the Lower Saxony ballot in order to be elected to Parliament as an EPP member — while at the same time being the EPP’s lead candidate, or Spitzenkandidat.

Yet the three CDU officials, who were granted anonymity in order to speak freely about internal party dynamics, told POLITICO that von der Leyen will not have to make that election bid in order to become the EPP’s Spitzenkandidat.
Earlier this year, two officials affiliated with German conservatives, likewise granted anonymity, told POLITICO at a gathering in Munich that they expected von der Leyen would have to go through the pain of running for a seat in Lower Saxony in order to win the stamp of democratic legitimacy and obtain the EPP’s nomination as its lead candidate. Those officials did not respond to requests for comment on Thursday.
The issue of democratic legitimacy is particularly sensitive to some conservatives, given that von der Leyen was handpicked by European leaders over the EPP’s lead candidate at the time, Manfred Weber, to become Commission president in 2019.
The German news outlet Niedersachsen Rundblick first reported Wednesday that von der Leyen would not run as a member of the European Parliament “but should nevertheless become Spitzenkandidat,” without citing any source for this piece of information.
Von der Leyen’s State of the Union speech on Wednesday was widely seen as an effort to plant the seeds for her reelection bid, even though she hasn’t officially announced her candidacy.
One of the three CDU officials told POLITICO that it is not seen as technically necessary for von der Leyen to go through a vote for an EU lawmaker position. “Realistically, if she’s running to be reelected as Commission president, she won’t serve a single minute as a member of the European Parliament,” the official said.
A Commission official close to von der Leyen declined to comment on her apparent decision not to run for Parliament. Asked about her potential plan to run as lead candidate for the EPP, the official said that “the president has not made a decision.”
The EPP is expected to decide who its lead candidate will be by early next year. If von der Leyen is the nominee, she would feature prominently in the party’s campaign — despite not appearing on any ballot.
The Spitzenkandidat system was set up in 2014 in a bid to democratize EU elections, allowing European political parties to publicly present their top candidates for key positions such as Commission president. Despite that, it ultimately remains up to EU heads of state and government in the European Council to choose who they want for the job — as they did in 2019.

Shielding Brown from Harm
Chris Brown’s assault of Rihanna struck a chord within popular culture. Her beating triggered emotions that reverberate to this day. Although Brown pleaded guilty to felony assault in the criminal courts, the court of public opinion remains divided. Indeed, this prejudicial court will never be unanimous in its verdict: the issue of domestic violence touches on contentious relations between couples, and people’s feelings are complicated by their relationship to the rich and famous.
The Rihanna Deserved It and I’d Hit That t-shirts help bridge the sexual divide, in the case of this heterosexual couple. On the one side, you’ve got people claiming that Rihanna literally forced Brown’s hand when she slapped him during an argument about a suspected indiscretion. On the other side, some think there’s nothing wrong with attached men wanting to make passes at other women. These t-shirts not only display the widespread tendency to trivialise violence within relationships, they manage to turn personal issues into a public spectacle. And so for every why we hate the unrepentant jerk tirades, you’ll get many women tweeting I Would Let Chris Brown Beat Me Any day.
Try not to feel too disheartened by such unabashed love, though. If you have a love/hate relationship with Brown, consider playing the online game that allows players to blow kisses and/or throw punches at him.
Rihanna’s recent interview with Oprah also provides a sobering lesson to outsiders – and was a striking riposte to Oprah’s previous ‘teaching moment’ on assault within relationships. Oprah dedicated a 2009 live special “to all the Rihannas in the world, and all the young men who would think of hitting a woman.” Oprah expressed her concern about the statistics on dating violence, and how the threat of domestic violence loomed over (potential) marriages. She was particularly concerned about reports that Rihanna and Brown were attempting to reconcile and urged that “the message this story sends out to teen girls and boys is disturbing, and it is also dangerous”. She also personally sent a message to Rihanna by looking directly into the camera. “Love doesn’t hurt. I’ve been saying this to women for years: Love doesn’t hurt. And if a man hits you once, he will hit you again. He will hit you again. I don’t care what his plea is.”
Unfortunately, Oprah was guilty of special pleading herself and missed an opportunity to address a related issue. She neglected to mention the statistics on violent men and women within relationships: namely, the consensus in the field is that women are as likely as men to strike their partner but that–as expected–women are more likely to be injured than men . Nonetheless, Oprah insisted that we all “need to try and evolve from this moment… use this moment to allow our society to grow”.
While Oprah’s heart was obviously in the right place, she was clearly in over her head. Her subsequent interview with Rihanna quickly devolved into an object lesson about the hubris of such ‘moments’. If anyone learnt anything here, it was Oprah and (by extension) people willing to use another person’s relationship as a surrogate for their own issues. That’s not to say that Rihanna would advise against using another relationship to rehearse their own problems. She was only able to come to terms with her feelings about Brown by acknowledging the domestic abuse she had witnessed as a child. As she observed during the interview, she needed to resolve a conflict about her parent’s relationship before she could forgive and move on. Nonetheless, many people (like Oprah) might have still been “shocked” by Rihanna’s recent growth.
The biggest shock is that Rihanna’s story actively resisted a straightforward narrative: the cycle of abuse was written into her own treatment. The interview was remarkable for its painstaking authenticity – and it shocked because Rihanna wielded personal heartbreak as a shield to “protect” the person that threatened to kill her. Despite her anger and confusion, Rihanna made it perfectly clear that they still share an undying love. She also insisted that Brown was the real victim here: people were too willing to put all the blame on the convicted felon. As he was assaulting her, she felt “more concerned about him” and continues to feel protective towards the person that “I thought I hated (until) I realized it was love that was (merely) tarnished… and tainted”.
“It was embarrassing, it was humiliating, it was hurtful, I lost my best friend. Everything I knew switched, switched in a night… And that’s not easy for me to understand or interpret… It was hard for me to even pay attention to my mind, and figure things out because it became a circus, and I felt protective. I felt like the only person they hate right now is him. It was a weird confusing space to be in, because as angry, hurt and betrayed as I was, I just felt like he made that mistake because he needed help. And who’s going to help him? Nobody’s going to say he needs help, everyone’s going to say he’s a monster without looking at the source. I was more concerned about him.”
Equally telling was the sight of a still troubled woman emphasising the issue of Brown’s psychological well being: it was more important that her abuser not remain in a ‘weird, confusing space’ like her.
“I truly love him — the main thing for me is he’s at peace. I’m not at peace if he’s not happy or he’s still lonely. I care. It actually matters that he finds that peace.”
The interview was shocking, then, because it hit so close to home. Rihanna kept reminding us that gender roles dominate some relationships irrespective of social position or rank. Sexual inequality was not only the source of the violence, it was (in this case, presumably) also the solution to it. Rihanna instinctively took on the role of care giver and invariably prioritized the feelings of the man that hurt her. She was accepting responsibility for what happened between them and was trying to heal her attacker with the power of love. There was no escaping the impression that her police report and restraining order might have been premature or needless. The resulting media scrutiny seemed to prevent them from getting back together again anytime soon.
There was also the implication that it was her overreaction that really hurt their relationship – she certainly regretted hurting Brown’s image with the picture of her battered face. Despite Rihanna’s own image as a powerful and independent woman – and that fame ensures that people are at her constant beck and call – Rihanna was doing emotional housekeeping on national television.
“Emotional housework refers here to the task of trying hard to counsel, manage and ‘fix’ the abuser… It closely parallels the household labour and management that are also largely women’s responsibility. The unequal division of emotional labour in almost all relationships, whether or not they are abusive, means that when abuse starts a women is primed to try to help the guy with his feelings.” (Lucy Berrington, “Rihanna Is Still Doing Chris Brown’s Housework”, 28 August, 2012).
It’s not the first time that sexual inequality has reared its ugly head in Rihanna’a life, of course – her recent slut shaming by Chris Brown (amongst others) only goes to show that men continue to have the real power. Despite being the sexiest woman alive, there is only so much love that can go around before it rebounds on women.
Twilight‘s Last Gleaming
Rihanna’s relationship with Brown is not the only fairy tale romance to suddenly go grim. Kristen Stewart has found herself literally caught in media res, or in the midst of affairs. Since the Twilight franchise romanticizes an abusive relationship, female fans instinctively abused her for failing to keep their romance alive. While the slut shaming and death threats were inevitable, many women clearly need to get their own house in order: they’ve merely perpetuated the cycle of abuse through their own relationship to the media.
Although we don’t make women wear scarlet letters or stone them to death, thankfully, it’s still possible to take matters into our own hands. The Kristen Stewart is a Trampire and Robert Pattinson Deserves Better t– shirts become one medium of expression. Heartbroken fans have also gone online to call her a home wrecking whore, plain and simple and threatened to kill the bitch for breaking Robert Pattinson’s heart. The moral outrage offers ample proof that we prefer our fairy tales to have a ‘happy ever after’ in reality, too.
Kristen’s real mistake was not that she got caught cheating on her on-screen lover or that she (supposedly) broke his heart in real life: it’s that she broke the illusion. Indeed, it was only during Stewart’s public apology that their off screen relationship was even officially acknowledged by her. Up to that point, their relationship has been mere speculation or wish fulfillment. While it’s (apparently) true that they shared a house, outsiders were never in a position to really know what was going on inside it. For all we knew, they were keeping up appearances, fueling speculation and/or having an open relationship.
Given their independent work schedules, they would have also had little time for each other: they didn’t so much live (or work) together but shared a house when they weren’t living and/or working on separate continents. In other words, they weren’t the one’s living the fairytale romance. Assuming they were a real couple, reality typically kept them apart and was making unrealistic demands on them. And this is assuming they weren’t acting a part in real life too or that the cheating drama was staged to end their fake relationship.
The hysterical reaction reminded us that many women live vicariously through romantic fantasies: Stewart had really (or also) cheated on them. She has been so identified with her Twilight character, that many fans used Stewart’s on screen relationship as a surrogate for their own romantic aspirations and ideals. Pattinson appears to be a victim of Twilight‘s romantic ideology, too. The media immediately cast him in a different role: from eternal love to heartbroken star. Never mind that these blood suckers have been turning a blind eye to his own indiscretions for years. Perhaps that’s because her boyfriend could be seen acting according to type: successful actor living every man’s fantasy.
If the Twilight demographic is any indication, many heterosexual women have different sexual fantasies from heterosexual men: they long for first love (again) and get off on abstinence porn. As the title might indicate, Twilight celebrates a liminal state, or young girls standing at the threshold of their own sexual identities. It’s worth stressing that Twilight doesn’t just appeal to young girls wanting to play with fire – elder women long to cross that threshold again too. The Twilight franchise reinforces traditional sexual roles and the value of delayed gratification: it defines women by their relationship to men and ensures they carry the torch for (and into) meaningful relationships. It therefore isn’t difficult to see why Stewart’s transgression immediately cast her in different light. She was thrown into the role of fallen woman because she no longer embodied the traits that supposedly elevate and distinguish women.
Stewart had broken an implicit trust when she acted against type: she failed to recognize the importance of fidelity and/or preserve the sanctity of marriage. The female actress didn’t so much cross a threshold but a line. She not only got caught cheating on her presumed lover, but she also stole another man’s wife (the woman playing her own mother in Snow White and the Huntsman). The relationship she was seen having with the married father of two became a stain on her perceived character: since she was no longer “pure as snow”, if you will, Stewart undermined her own association with the lingering power of fairy tale romances.
Stewart’s public apology is notable for the way it attempts to remove the stain from her character. She apologized for her “momentary indiscretion” to the people she presumably hurt through the media. The general public became the medium for her contrite behavior. She also expressed her “love” for “Rob” again (and again) through them. We therefore have to ask: who was she really apologizing and/or expressing her love to? Her perceived indiscretion was really none of anyone else’s business. Her apology would have ideally been expressed in private, and to the people she directly hurt. The reality, of course, is that the alleged cheater now had another part to play in popular culture: she had to appear apologetic in order to appease the people living through her latest drama.
This returns us to the cycle of abuse, or our own relationship to a manipulative and controlling media. Stewart’s status as fallen women is another negative example of female empowerment in popular culture (to quote Twilight author Stephanie Meyer completely out of context). Many women have attempted to create Stewart in their own image – or alternatively, the scandal is a mirror image of Meyer’s own media creation. Her transgression was the result of idolatry, or creating false idols that the media inevitably tears down to raise its own profile and (and other role models instead). Stewart’s inevitable fall from grace is just another cautionary tale about the plight of women: a story created to satiate a salacious public’s blood lust.
Hall of Mirrors
Few can deny the power of Twilight’s romantic fantasy: the book sales and box office receipts speak for themselves. While some feminists might bemoan porn abstinence as culturally regressive, they are also faced with many shape shifting mirror images – the rise of the hook up culture in a raunch society. Consequently, what passes for female progress – increasingly sexualised media images and the pornification of their real life selves – is viewed as equally disempowering. Some feminists have therefore argued that abstinence porn is really part of a cultural insurrection: millions of women have supposedly risen up to take back their sexual power by affirming the power of true love and delayed sexual gratification.
The Fifty Shades of Grey phenomenon refracts and distorts this image even further, suggesting that millions of women are trapped in a hall of mirrors. Contemplating the female reflection is akin to navigating a maze-like puzzle filled with various obstacles and passages. The irony is that Fifty Shades of Grey began its sadomasochistic sexual relationship as Twilight fan fiction. Indeed, it’s possible to see the mirror image by comparing passages.
Like the Twilight franchise (but on the opposite side of the spectrum), Fifty Shades of Grey romanticises abusive relationships. Apparently, many heterosexual women fantasize about being sexually dominated by rich and powerful men, too. It isn’t difficult to see the sexual appeal of this abuse fantasy. While men also fantacise about being dominated by women, the Fifty Shades of Grey phenomenon appears to speak to current anxieties about female equality (such as it is). As women progress through society – or once they’ve crossed the threshold into equal sexual relationships – they continue to long for the good old days of sexual bondage and slavery.
The fact that this presumed desire is literally tied to fantasies about wealth only confirms what many of us secretly suspect: women are no different to prostitutes and are prepared to trade sex for money. It’s fortunate, then, that many women are also willing to shame each other into submission, first. As their own role in slut shaming indicates, women are more than happy to jump on the bandwagon and help men abuse other women, too. It’s no wonder women are typically held responsible for their own sexual abuse and/or female sexuality can also be controlled through abusive language.
But wait, there’s more! We can now can see yes another distorted image in the hall. Contemplating the female reflection has resulted in a curious side effect: romanticising the hook up culture, or women’s ‘boys on the side’. Instead of being hoisted up by their own petards, the hook up culture is supposedly feminism at its most socially uplifting. Indeed, ‘no strings attached sex’ is how many young women are actually pulling themselves up by their own bootstraps. The question of female sexual power has therefore recently been dominating cyberspace, again. The September issue of The Atlantic urges that “hook up culture is bound up with sexual freedom and that feminist progress depends on its continued existence.” According to field research based on observed self images, delaying sexual gratification or looking for relationships limits young women’s options in the real world. The last thing women want is to be tied down.
“Hooking up is part of a larger romantic strategy and part of a larger ‘sexual career’. For an upwardly mobile, ambitious young woman, hookups are a way to dip into relationships without disrupting self-development or schoolwork. Hookups functioned as a ‘delay tactic’ because the immediate priority, for the privileged women at least, was setting themselves up for a career. (So instead of) being viewed… as socially corrosive and ultimately toxic to women, the hookup culture is an engine of female progress—one being harnessed and driven by women themselves.” (Hanna Rosin, “Boys on the Side”, September, 2012).
Rosin’s article has – as you would expect – proven too divisive, and merely displaces the question of sexual dominance and exploitation. Some women view the emotional housekeeping as a breath of fresh air, while others wonder if it merely contributes to an already toxic environment. It goes without saying that millions of people have been ‘hooking up’ for as long as they’ve been able to have casual sex. The history of sexuality cannot, however, be so conveniently divided into distinct periods and norms. People’s sexual attitudes remain subject to change and contestation. Nonetheless, Rosin’s depiction does capture something worth noting: young women using their sexuality to determine their place in the pecking order.
The ‘hook up culture’ isn’t just about sexual pleasure or having multiple partners: it has more to do with succeeding in a man’s world and beating men at their own game. Since female sexuality is linked to upward mobility, it’s a foregone conclusion that the hook up culture is self authenticating and empowering. The only problem is Rosin downplays an important value: feminism’s roots in humanism. “Boys On the Side” sidelines men and women equally and encourages negative examples of fe/male empowerment. It remains bound to the idea that the ends justifies the means, and so other people are just a means to an end (as opposed to having individual intrinsic value or worth). The article defends a culture of competitiveness and narcissism: women’s true romance ends up being just status seeking and material success.
It therefore engenders its own fairy tale by suggesting that there is no “value higher than sexual power/conquest, any morality deeper than personal consent or contentment and any goal greater than success at someone else expense.” The hall of mirrors reminds us, however, that we can never lose sight of women’s shape shifting image in popular culture. The idea that women own their bodies remains a misconception. Whether we like it or not, their bodies belong to the body politic. | <urn:uuid:2ea95691-5ee0-40e4-9795-88a1cc692f94> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.popmatters.com/163084-body-politic-2495816512.html | 2023-09-28T18:05:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.969834 | 4,177 |
Grand Rapid’s Watching for Foxes continues their ascent as staples of the local folk scene with an alternative twist on their second studio EP, Until the Winter Comes. On the EP, Joey Frendo offers an emotively clear-cut lilt to front an ensemble of guitars, fiddles, and hefty percussion from fellow bandmates Jared Meeuwenberg, Brandon Hanes, Max Morrison, and Olivia Mainville. They meld a compellingly full sound for an acoustic band with Damien Rice-esque commercial melodies paired with strong lyrics, and the Michigan collective reaches new heights with their latest release.
The band introduces some brass in the plucky, buoyant, but fragile “Broken Hymns”, with follow-up track “The Hunt / The Kill” offering the weightiest delivery from them yet. Until the Winter Comes closes on the gradually rising “Freedom Hymn”, which eventually evolves into a full-on jam on behalf of the entire band. Though they still haven’t reached their fullest potential, they have definitely elevated themselves with Until the Winter Comes. | <urn:uuid:75002e0d-e20e-410c-b608-706c888c7f57> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.popmatters.com/190157-watching-for-foxes-until-the-winter-comes-2495564433.html | 2023-09-28T17:36:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.92276 | 229 |

Fashion seems to be “Phone Tablet” or Phablet will include larger devices, where leaked today hint at the presence of image screen measuring 6.44 inches of Sony Corporation. The picture shows what appears to one of the pieces used in the manufacture of phones which is a framework for the screen measuring 6.44.
It is not clear that the image of the initial model, the phone is already produced or they provoke other. But, if we can not rule out that the device contains specifications Xperia Z including 1080p screen pixels and a 13 megapixel camera in addition to a processor Qualcomm S4 Pro Quad-core and memory size of 2 GB.
This Come at a time when the most common manufacturing Samsung phone size 5.8-inch Galaxy Note 3 size of 6.3 inches, and after that Huawei has announced “the world’s largest phone” as Huawei Ascend Mate, who holds the screen measuring 6.1 inches in gallery CES 2013.

Beta-Alanine Supplementation Increases Time to Fatigue to Yield Strength and Power Gains: A Short Review
By: Mike Zourdos, MS, CSCS
Ph.D. Student – The Florida State University
Skeletal Muscle Laboratory
Fatigue is an unstoppable outcome to any intense training session or period of training. We can define fatigue as any drop in motor output during a session. Do not mistake fatigue for only something an endurance athlete feels during a run; fatigue includes a reduction in bar speed, falling short of a prescribed rep range, or performance decrements during a session of General Physical Prepardeness (GPP). A drop in motor output is inevitable and even failure will always eventually occur, however, we do have the ability to delay fatigue. As powerlifters delaying fatigue allows us to increase our total training volume or even perform a greater number of reps at a higher percentage of our max, thus leading us to greater strength and power gains.
The Problem To Be Addressed
The noted drop in motor output occurs as Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is depleted and metabolites (H+ ions and therefore lactate) accumulate. As Hydrogen ion (H+) concentration increases due to the degradation of ATP, intramuscular pH (the measure of H+ in a solution) decreases into an acidic range. Training also leads to a great deal of oxidative stress. Now, the acidic nature of intramuscular pH, due to the increase in H+ concentration, significantly decreases the force produced through a muscle contraction, as optimal force is produced at a neutral pH (about 7.1).
Physiological Mechanisms To Delay Fatigue
Clearly, to delay fatigue we must find a way to delay the accumulation of H+ therefore hindering the build-up of lactate, and even preventing oxidative stress so that we can operate under a neutral pH. This seems to be done with an increased concentration of intramuscular carnosine. Carnosine is a dipeptide of the amino acids beta-alanine and histidine and when increased in the muscle it serves as a physiological buffer to accept H+ ions and delay oxidative stress, which even leads to a release of Calcium ions (Ca2+). In short, this means that carnosine can hold hydrogen ions up to a certain point to delay the formation of lactate and the total accumulation of metabolites. Furthermore, this ability of carnosine to buffer H+ keeps pH neutral for a longer period of time. Remember, when pH levels drop our force production is compromised, thus increasing intramuscular carnosine delays time to fatigue and allows us to optimize our force output for longer periods of time at the neutral pH of 7.1. These increased levels have shown significant increases in strength and power among trained athletes.
Dosage of Beta-Alanine
First, relax I’m going to answer your question: Why not just take carnosine, if that is what’s doing the job? Carnosine itself does not increase levels to a greater extent then beta-alanine, therefore beta-alanine may be a limiting factor in carnosine synthesis and provide an increased bio-availability of carnosine. Beta-Alanine has been examined in doses from 1.6-6.4 grams per day with dose dependent increases in intramuscular carnosine. Thus, I recommend 6.4 grams per day to increase carnosine levels. These levels should increase between 4-10 weeks and remain elevated for up to nine weeks post-supplementation. One must be careful, however, when administering the doses as beta-alanine causes a flushing and significant tingling feeling upon the individual that is quite uncomfortable. This phenomenon can be lessened by channeling the dosage into four doses of 1.6 grams every three hours during the day.
Applying Beta-Alanine Supplementation to Your Training
First and foremost it is important to note that beta-alanine is most effective when concentration of lactate is high due to an excessive accumulation of metabolites. Thus, supplementation will be of greatest benefit working at 85% and below and with low rest intervals. Therefore, no, beta-alanine will not directly increase a max effort lift, but beta-alanine has been shown to be effective when training in the 6-8 rep range and also to increase total training volume. A repetition day or even a speed day that utilizes short rest intervals will likely reap the benefits of beta-alanine along with sprints, pulling the sled, pushing the prowler, and other types of GPP and the benefits of these type of training days to maximize strength gains in our sport are very well known. Always remember that the longer you can go at a given intensity the stronger you will be. It is also interesting to discuss that the addition of beta-alanine to creatine increases more indices of anaerobic capacity than each of them do alone, however, the synergistic or additive effects are unknown at this point. Finally, we know that we can’t prevent fatigue, however, beta-alanine allows us to delay it in a safe healthy way, which in the end only leads to more speed, power, and a greater total.

Continental Plant Celebrates 20 Years in Mexico
October 7, 2019
Continental’s power transmission products plant in Chihuahua, Mexico is celebrating its 20-year anniversary.
Jim Hill, president of Continental North America said of the anniversary of the plant, “We look forward to the continued contributions from this facility and its dedicated management, staff and employees. We are proud of their achievements.”
Plant Manager Roberto Aguilar said, “We not only promote our corporate values, but also we live them on a day-to-day basis. Our mantra is ‘Trust, One for Another; Freedom to Act and Passion to Win’. These, we believe, are values that perfectly match the values of our family, but our success is due in great part to the men and women who make the operations possible.”
Built in 1999, Planta Contitech Chihuahua manufactures power transmission belts for a wide range of applications including the agricultural, construction and white line (home appliances) industries, as well as the automotive aftermarket.
The history of the plant began in 1998, when the State of Chihuahua was selected to install a rubber product manufacturing plant. The strategic geographical location, the offer of technical education and higher education, human talent, as well as the disposition of local entrepreneurs were the combination that triggered the project which today is 20 years old. In January 1999 the construction of the industrial building began and in June of that same year, with the workforce of 120 employees, the first power transmission belt was manufactured.
Today, the plant has 400 employees, and has grown in production every year. In addition, this growth has been accompanied by high quality standards with industry awards, recognitions and certifications such as ISO 9001-2015 and ISO 14001-2015 as well as the ContiTech Award for Excellence, which makes Continental Chihuahua a world class plant.
To commemorate the anniversary, a celebration was held within the facilities of the plant where executives of Continental, authorities of the State and the Municipality of Chihuahua were in attendance. | <urn:uuid:7abb716b-9939-4c3b-a0d3-ec4c39e4abd4> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.powertransmission.com/articles/7255 | 2023-09-28T18:36:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.960966 | 445 |

(December 2009) PRB recently published the policy brief, Supporting the Integration of Family Planning and HIV Services. This article highlights five good reasons why integration is a sound investment that will pay multiple dividends for individuals, communities, societies, and health systems.
1. International consensus has been reached on the benefits of integrating family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH) and HIV, and services and guidance are available. Since 2004, six international organizations and a number of international convocations have resolved to promote integration (see Table 1). The World Health Organization, UNAIDS, and other collaborators have published guidelines to help policymakers and program managers pursue integration in a strategic and cost-effective manner.1
International Policy Declarations on Linking FP/RH and HIV to Meet the Objectives of Cairo and the Millennium Development Goals 2004-2009
|Organization and Year||Report/Policy|
|WHO/UNFPA, 2004||The Glion Call to Action on Family Planning and HIV/AIDS in Women and Children.|
|UNFPA/UNAIDS/Family Care International, 2004||The New York Call to Commitment: Linking HIV/AIDS and Sexual and Reproductive Health.|
|UNAIDS, 2005||UNAIDS strategy, Intensifying HIV Prevention, names integration an essential policy action.|
|United Nations General Assembly Special Session on HIV/AIDS, 2006||Declaration of Commitment to HIV/AIDS: recommends strengthening policy and programmatic linkages between sexual and reproductive health and HIV/AIDS.|
|African Union, 2006||Universal Access to Comprehensive Sexual and Reproductive Health Services in Africa: recommends integration of HIV/AIDS services into sexual and reproductive health services.|
|WHO, 2006||Technical Consultation on the Integration of HIV Interventions into Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health Services.|
|Interagency Task Team on Prevention of HIV Infection in Pregnant Women, Mothers, and Their Children, convened by UNICEF and WHO, 2007||Guidance for Global Scale-up of the Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission of HIV: linkages between PMTCT and sexual and reproductive health services are a key strategy.|
|USAID and WHO, 2009||Strategic Considerations for Strengthening the Linkages between Family Planning and HIV/AIDS Policies, Programs and Services, A Call to Action.|
2. Integration leads to improved health and service delivery outcomes. A growing body of research shows that integration leads to positive outcomes on a variety of indicators. In 2009, WHO, UNFPA, IPPF, UNAIDS, and the University of California, San Francisco published a systematic review of the literature, examining the evidence on linking RH and HIV services. Of the 58 peer-reviewed studies and promising practices, 34 integrated HIV services into existing sexual and reproductive health (SRH) programs, 14 integrated SRH into existing HIV programs, and 10 integrated these two components concurrently. A majority of studies showed improvements in indicators of health as well as in overall quality of services, providing further support for fast-tracking integration.2
3. Existing HIV programs can increase access to FP services for the more than 200 million women with an unmet need for FP. This is especially true where access to HIV services has been built through programs such as the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), but FP services have not similarly been expanded. In these countries, which have among the highest levels of unmet need for family planning in the world, the largest number of clients can be reached by adding FP to existing voluntary HIV counseling and testing (VCT) sites, which attract HIV-positive and HIV-negative clients. Adding contraceptive counseling to VCT sites also has the distinct advantage of serving clientele, including men and youth, who often do not use traditional FP services.
4. Family planning is a key but greatly underutilized HIV prevention strategy. The importance of FP to reducing mother-to-child transmission of HIV does not receive enough attention. Each year, more than 577,200 unintended pregnancies among HIV-infected women in sub-Saharan Africa are prevented through the use of contraception. While it is essential that all women in need of antiretroviral therapy (ART) have access to it, use of contraception already prevents a greater number of HIV infections among infants than ART.3 If the unmet need for contraception among all women in the region who did not wish to become pregnant were met, 533,000 additional unintended pregnancies to HIV-positive women could be averted each year (see Table 2).4
Annual Number of Unintended Pregnancies and HIV Positive Births Averted by Contraception
|Annual Number of Unintended Pregnancies to HIV-Positive Women Averted by Contraception||Annual Number of Unintended HIV-Positive Births Averted by Contraception*|
* Authors assume a 33 percent vertical transmission rate.
Note: Data assumes no preventing of mother-to-child transmission.
Source: Heidi Reynolds et al., “Contraception to Prevent HIV-Positive Births: Current Contribution and Potential Cost Savings in PEPFAR Countries,” Sexually Transmitted Infections 84, suppl. 2 (2008): 49-53.
5. Integration is cost-effective, improves access to health care, and increases financial sustainability. Integration is cost-effective for the client and the health system that is able to co-locate services. Providing family planning at HIV care treatment centers has been estimated to save almost US$25 for every US$1 dollar spent.5 At a time when there has been little progress in reducing the number of new HIV infections or in meeting the growing demand for FP, integration is a strategy to maximize scare resources and provide better service to clients.

We provide regular updates for our tagged owls, but generally the data will be at least three days old, in order to protect the owls from potential harassment. If maps for some of the linked owls are not available, we may not have had time to post them yet. Thanks for your patience!
Assateague – 2013
Updated 2/23/14 -Assateague, an immature male, was banded Dec. 17, 2013, on Assateague Island National Seashore on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, and was the first snowy owl fitted with a transmitter by Project SNOWstorm. He was a wanderer, moving more than 150 miles in a few weeks — first circumnavigating the Delaware Bay, then crossing southern New Jersey and moving north along the coast. One of the most surprising findings from Assateague’s movements were the nocturnal hunting flights he made over open water in Delaware and Barnegat bays, often using the same channel markers and buoys as nighttime hunting perches. He was last detected in mid-February, and may have suffered a transmitter failure. (©Scott Weidensaul)
Buena Vista – 2013
Updated 3/30/14 – This young male was banded Dec. 23, 2013, on the Buena Vista grasslands in central Wisconsin. In contrast to some owls, he remained within a roughly one-square-mile area throughout the winter. His location was just a few miles north of the home of the late Fran and Frederick Hamerstrom, pioneering biologists who in the 1960s organized the first major research project into snowy owl irruptions. Buena Vista was last detected March 31, 2014, still on his winter territory. (©Gene Jacobs)
Philly – 2014
Updated 1/27/14 – Captured and tagged Jan. 9, 2014, at Philadelphia International Airport, Philly was relocated about 40 miles west to eastern Lancaster County for his own safety, as airports are dangerous for owls (and owl are a hazard to planes). However, he returned to the airport within a few days, and despite repeated efforts to recapture and relocate him a second time, Philly was struck by a plane and killed Jan. 29, 2014.. (©Scott Weidensaul)
Erie – 2014
Updated 3/8/15 – Erie, an immature male, was tagged in near the Erie, PA, International Airport on Jan. 19, 2014, along with Millcreek. He was one of several snowy owls in the winter of 2013-14 that spent the majority of their time well offshore, on the frozen surface of the Great Lakes — in his case, Lake Erie — making only occasional visits to land. We assume these owls were hunting waterbirds in the ever-changing network of open-water cracks between the massive plates of wind-shifted ice covering the lakes. In spring he began moving north, first to Lake St. Clair, then up the eastern side of Lake Huron, remaining on offshore ice. He was the third owl to return from our first season, reporting in from the Bruce Peninsula on January 6, 2015.
Millcreek – 2014
Updated 3/8/15 – Millcreek, an immature male, was tagged in Millcreek Township near the Erie, PA, International Airport on Jan. 19, 2014, along with Erie. He was one of several snowy owls in the winter of 2013-14 that spent the majority of their time well offshore, on the frozen surface of the Great Lakes — in his case, Lake Erie — making only occasional visits to land. We assume these owls were hunting waterbirds in the ever-changing network of open-water cracks between the massive plates of wind-shifted ice covering the lakes. He was last detected in late April at the east end of Lake Erie, off the Buffalo waterfront.
On Nov. 19, Millcreek checked in from southern Ontario — the first of the 2013-14 owls to return south to cell range. His stored data showed that he’d spent the summer on the eastern Ungava Peninsula in northern Quebec.
Freedom – 2014
Updated 3/9/14 – Freedom was an immature female, tagged Jan. 25, 2014 near Appleton, WI, and named for a nearby town where she was hunting after her release. She was somewhat larger than an average female snowy owl, weighing 2,046 g (4.5 lbs.). She remained all winter in a roughly 2 mile square (3.2 km square) area, and was last detected March 9, 2014.(©Mike Lanzone)
Braddock – 2014
Updated 3/8/15 – Braddock, an immature male, was tagged Jan. 25, 2014, near Rochester New York by Tom McDonald. He spent the winter largely on the frozen surface of Lake Ontario, only occasionally coming to land, and apparently hunting for waterbirds along the ice margin. In spring he began moving northwest across Lake Ontario and up the length of Georgian Bay, then returned southeast to Lake Simcoe and Lake Ontario, before starting north again in mid-April. He was last detected April 14 in southeastern Ontario. (©Tom McDonald)
Cranberry – 2014
Updated 2/14/14 – Cranberry was tagged Jan. 25, 2014, near Rochester, NY, by Tom McDonald, along with Braddock, and like that owl spent much of the winter moving between land and the offshore ice of Lake Ontario. He was last detected Feb. 15, 2014, off Sodus Bay on Lake Ontario. (©Tom McDonald)
Ramsey – 2014
Updated 4/29/14 – Ramsey, an immature male, was tagged in his namesake town, northwest of the Twin Cities in Minnesota, on Jan. 26, 2014, by Frank Nicoletti and David Alexander. In the months that followed he remained within a fairly limited area of Ramsey, in an area with a mix of parkland, highways, commercial and residential development. In late winter he moved to the southwest, then north through the corners of South and North Dakota, across southwestern Manitoba and into eastern Saskatchewan. His last transmission was near Quill Lakes, Saskatchewan, on April 26. (©Frank Nicoletti)
Duxbury – 2014
Updated 3/18/14 – Duxbury was an immature female snowy owl trapped Jan. 29, 2014, at Logan Airport by Norman Smith, and relocated to Duxbury Beach, MA, north of Plymouth. Over the next month she moved back north to Revere, just outside Boston, and was last detected there on Feb. 28, 2014. (©Raymond MacDonald)
Kewaunee – 2014
Updated 5/5/14 – A heavily marked immature male, Kewaunee was tagged Feb. 4, 2014, about four miles south of his namesake town in eastern Wisconsin, close to the shore of Lake Michigan, where he spent the winter hunting the open expanses of flat farmland. In early spring he moved north to the icy expanse of Green Bay, and made a long trip north to the Iron Range and back. His last transmission came May 2, 2014, from the north end of Green Bay on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, less than 150 miles south of the last array of cell towers. (©Gene Jacobs)
Sandy Neck – 2014
Updated 4/07/14 – Sandy Neck, an immature female, was captured Feb. 5, 2014, at Logan Airport in Boston by Norman Smith, tagged and relocated to Sandy Neck Beach near Barnstable, on Cape Cod. She eventually moved to Martha’s Vineyard for about two months, but was apparently swamped by high winds or waves in the wake of a large nor’easter while crossing open water on March 29, 2014, and drowned. She and her transmitter were recovered the next day. (Another snowy owl, Plum, also drowned in the wake of the same storm.) (©Raymond MacDonald)
Amishtown – 2014
Updated 4/26/14 – Amishtown was an immature male snowy owl, captured Feb. 12, 2014, at Philadelphia International Airport and relocated 50 miles west it Lancaster County, PA. He spent the winter roaming a large large area of Lancaster County’s heavily Amish farmland, which with its lack of cover is ideal for snowy owls.
In late March he began moving rapidly north across Pennsylvania and western New York, lingering first on the south shore, then the north shore of Lake Ontario. From there he migrated northwest to Georgian Bay, which was still frozen, and his last transmission came from near Killarney, at the north end of Georgian Bay, on April 23, 2014. The cell network ends just a short distance to the north of this location.(©Scott Weidensaul)
Henlopen – 2014
Updated 3/1/14 – Henlopen, an immature male, was banded on February 9 by Steve Huy on the beach at Cape Henlopen State Park, Delaware, and released in the same area. So far he appears to be following the same tracks that Assateague took up the around the Delaware Bay and through New Jersey. (©Steve Huy)
Hungerford – 2014
Updated 5/4/14 – Hungerford, an immature female, was banded on Feb. 17, 2014, on Assateague Island, Maryland, by Steve Huy. He is named for the Hungerford House, a National Park Service cabin on the Maryland end of the island. He later flew north through Delaware to Lancaster County, PA, not far from where Amishtown was wintering, then looped back to the southeast, crossing Delaware Bay to to the coast of southern New Jersey. His last transmission was March 29, 2014, between Stone Harbor and Avalon, NJ. (©Allen Sklar)
Womelsdorf – 2014
Updated 4/18/14 – Womelsdorf, an immature male, was tagged March 3, 2014, in Berks County, PA, by Scott Weidensaul. By the end of March, be migrated north across western New York, and spent several weeks on the fast-shrinking ice of central and eastern Lake Erie. His last transmission came April 17, 2014, as he was migrating north across southeastern Ontario northwest of Guelph. (©Scott Weidensaul)
Plum – 2014
Updated 4/07/14 – Plum, an immature female snowy owl, was trapped at Logan International Airport in Boston by Norman Smith and relocated to Plum Island National Wildlife Refuge on March 4, 2014. She eventually moved up the Merrimack River valley to Haverill and Lowell, then back to the coast between Salem and Marblehead, MA. She drowned March 30, 2014, in the wake of the same large nor’easter that claimed Sandy Neck, and her remains and transmitter were recovered two days later. (©Raymond MacDonald)
Marshfield – 2014
Updated 4/07/14 – Marshfield, an immature female, was tagged on March 6, 2014, in Wood County, Wisconsin by Gene Jacobs. In late winter she moved northwest to Eau Claire, then north of Minneapolis, MN, along the St. Croix River. Her last transmission came April 8, 2014, at Mille Lacs Lake, just south of the northern extent of reliable cell coverage in northern Minnesota and southern Canada. (©Gene Jacobs)
Oswegatchie – 2014
Updated 7/18/14 – Oswegatchie, an immature male named for a local creek, was tagged on March 8, 2014, in Odgensburg, New York, along the St. Lawrence River, by Tom McDonald. He spent the remainder of the winter in a small area centered on the local high school and its athletic fields.
In early April he began moving north and then west, circling through southern Ontario and Quebec in the upper St. Lawrence Valley as far west as Algonquin Provincial Park, remaining near Arnprior through much of May. June 2, 2014, he made a rapid flight about 215 miles (340 km) north to Lac Malartic in western Quebec — then settled down at the Mine Canadian in Malartic, the largest open-pit gold mine in Canada.
He transmitted data June 16, then went dark — having migrated north, we assumed. But July 18 his transmitter sent 1,200 locations, showing that he’d apparently died around June 26. His remains were recovered and necropsied, and while there was no obvious trauma or injury, it was too long after death to determine a cause. His transmitter was recovered and will be reused.

Wiconisco – 2014
Updated 3/27/14 -This immature male was originally banded by Scott Weidensaul on Jan. 31, 2014, near State College, PA, where the owl was frequenting the airport. Moved by USDA Wildlife Services to Perry County, PA, Wiconisco moved 15 miles farther east on his own and was recaptured and tagged by Weidensaul March 11. He was named for Wiconisco Creek, which flows through the farming valley where he was tagged.
In mid-March Wiconisco, like several other snowy owls, moved rapidly north through Pennsylvania and western New York. He reaches Buffalo and turned around, moving southeast about 40 miles to Wyoming County, NY, where his transmitter was last in contact on March 27, 2014. (Photo ©Beth Sanders)
Century – 2014
Updated 12/1/14 – This immature female was so named for being the 100th snowy owl relocated from Logan Airport in Boston in the winter of 2013-14 by Norman Smith (who ultimately moved 120 snowy owls from Logan). Tagged March 15, 2014, she was also the largest of Smith’s owls, weighing 2,627 grams — almost six pounds.
Century was released at Plum Island National Wildlife Refuge, at the mouth of the Merrimack River in northeastern Massachusetts. She eventually began a large, circling movement south and west, through Boston, into Rhode Island and Connecticut, up the Connecticut River Valley through western Massachusetts and into eastern New York, moving back and forth between Saratoga Lake and Sacandaga Lake. Her last transmission was December 1, 2014.
She returned on November 30, 2014 reporting her summer travels in the Ungava Peninsula through mid June.

Monocacy – 2014
Updated 2/18/15 – This immature female was trapped at Martin State Airport near Baltimore, MD and relocated March 16, 2014, to the Monocacy River watershed by Dave Brinker and Steve Huy. This is was Project SNOWstorm’s 22nd, and final, owl to receive a transmitter during the 2013-14 season.
Monocacy did not remain in the countryside, but immediately returned to Baltimore, where she spent the next two weeks in the downtown core of the city, sometimes flying out over the Inner Harbor but mostly hunting residential neighborhoods. Unlike our other owls, whose transmitters were programmed to collect a 3D GPS location every 30 minutes, Monocacy’s unit was collecting locations every 30 seconds. Her transmitter suddenly stopped communicating March 28, 2014 — whether because she ran afoul of an accident, or the unit failed, is unknown.

Why Use a Kids Barbershop for Your Son's First Haircuts?
While hair itself is basically the same at any age, the maturity of the customer is another story. Kids are often afraid to have their hair cut, and a barber who isn't used to dealing with them typically won't know how to keep them calm. This can lead to more fear and unruliness, and if the barber gets aggravated, that only makes things worse. These problems are best avoided by choosing a kids barbershop.
It's important to note that a kids barbershop will typically also have adult customers. However, at least one barber there will have the skills to deal with young children, as well as knowing how to cut hair. That ability will ensure that the process of having your young son's hair cut will be as smooth as possible, without undue amounts of tears and protests. | <urn:uuid:997b16b2-a660-449b-bdc0-48eccb81ee30> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.promasterbarber.com/kids-barbershop-catonsville-md | 2023-09-28T18:33:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.982691 | 188 |
Property Works is proud to have featured in an article published by Emma Mahony in the Financial Times:
Alastair Kinloch of Chartered Surveyors Property Works says:
“Blue-chip properties and locations attract buyers who are not affected by borrowing, so these purchases are still quite strong and they are the only area where there is movement at the moment.”
Inland, it’s a different picture. “It seems that properties up to €2.5m are the ones that are suffering”, says Kinloch. “Below €500,000, the situation is more comparable to the mainland.”
Kinloch’s says Mallorca’s government has helped to maintained prices: “A lot of money goes into infrastructure – from local taxes, Madrid and Europe, and there have been sensible zoning and expansion plans, as well as strict control of frontline development.” Kinloch’s own property in Sóller has risen in value because of the construction of a tunnel through the Trumantana mountains, reducing the commute to Palma to half an hour.

This video shows how you create supersets and circuits inside the PT Distinction program builder.
The video also shows you two features that save you massive amounts of time when building programs:
1 - How to set the acute variables (sets, reps, tempo, time, rest, intensity) for a whole circuit in one go.
2 - How to copy your circuits and supersets and paste them in to other workouts.
These two features make quality program design possible in very short periods of time.
You can see all of the amazing time saving tools in the program builder here. | <urn:uuid:c84fbeec-179e-4a04-97c5-6bf8464e4f5f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.ptdistinction.com/blog/how-to-create-circuits-and-supersets-in-pt-distinction | 2023-09-28T18:56:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.920204 | 119 |
Scanned pages from the book " Design activities in the classroom " by John Lidstone.
"Constructing in materials without first planning on paper helps to develop a strong design sense."
Students get the opportunity to engage with design projects and materials from a young age. In art classrooms the early design processes are being emphasized via constructing projects. Cheap and every day materials may be a great inspiration to construct and a great challenge at the same time. Materials and processes provide most of the boost concerning the design activities.
Looking through this book what comes to my mind is the connection of this project with the 2nd year project ISMs. The collaboration between classmates into art classes. How would the art piece change by the interpretation of a brush that more than two people are using at the same time? I would potentially be interested into designing an art class with collaborative tools, aimed for young students. The reason i would select kids is because they have a free spirit, when they are drawing they dont think about proportions and let everything into their imagination and I would be interested into seeing how those young mind would interpretative with the tools. What would they change and what would they make different. Not to mention the fact that learning to be a team player from a young age is quite important.

Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Infections
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are environmental organisms that can be found in soil, dust and water, including untreated fresh and salt water. It can also be found in human-made reservoirs including heater and water cooler devices, swimming pools and showers.
Individuals are continuously exposed to NTMs; however those with existing lung disease, as well as elderly or immunocompromised individuals, are most at risk of developing NTM infections. The most common form of NTM disease in humans is pulmonary infection. Non-pulmonary NTM infections can occur as well, affecting mainly skin, lymph nodes, soft tissue and joints.
NTM infections are not reportable diseases in Ontario, unless they are identified as part of an outbreak. | <urn:uuid:a34ae2e6-f86d-4dee-953f-e1b221f19e44> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.publichealthontario.ca/en/Diseases-and-Conditions/Infectious-Diseases/Respiratory-Diseases/Nontuberculous-Mycobacteria | 2023-09-28T17:20:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.970794 | 170 |

The SM-Liiga season kicked off last night, and one of its youngest stars decided to make quite a statement. Mikael Granlund, who was drafted 9th overall this past year by the Minnesota Wild, scored twice and added an assist to help HIFK win the battle of Helsinki with a 5-3 win over Jokerit. Granlund's poise, stickhandling skill, and intelligence has allowed him to quickly become one of the league's top players, so much so that this may well be his final season in Finland (although I don't know whether he's served his required time in the military). The immediate impact couldn't have been more timely for Risto Pakarinen, who wrote a feature on Granlund for IIHF.com. His coach has nothing but high praise for his game and work ethic:
"It’s obvious just by looking at him that Mikael has got a lot stronger and bigger. His skating is faster and more powerful, and his whole appearance shows how hard he has worked all summer. He has got the eye of the tiger," HIFK head coach Kari Jalonen said.
When I saw Granlund play at the U20 World Juniors in Saskatoon this past winter, he played a fairly quiet game, which surprised me due to his success in the SM-Liiga at the time. But being a top line centre for a top Finnish team at age 18 is quite an achievement, and despite my observations, he still managed 7 points in 6 games. He'll be playing alongside veteran winger Ville Peltonen this year. Here's a sample of his work yesterday:
In the Elitserien, Djurgårdens' win over reigning champions HV71 highlighted the four game schedule. Two goals from Matthias Tjarnqvist led the way in the 3-2 win in front of a boisterous crowd at Stockholm's Hovet. More on the boisterous crowd after the jump.
With NHL training camps getting under way, I don't know how much time the North American audience will have for the European leagues, but this weekend marks the first where the seven major leagues are all playing. The Elitserien started on Wednesday and the SM-Liiga on Thursday, and tonight the Tipsport Extraliga (Czech league) is the final one to get going. I've got a selection of games I'll be looking at this weekend after the jump... there's plenty to take in.
In the KHL, there are 14 games in total, seven games on Friday and seven on Sunday. The game I'm keying in on for Friday is the all Moscow battle between Spartak and Dynamo, as we continue our Dominik Hasek watch. Both teams have gotten off to rather modest starts to date after big wins in their opener, so here's hoping the cross town rivalry brings out the best in both. Other games include league leading Minsk making the long trip over to Khabavorsk, Barys Astana hosting Ufa, and SKA St. Petersburg hosting Severstal Cheropovets. On Sunday, we've got two great games in Omsk hosting Ufa and Kazan travelling to Riga. All of those teams have had great starts, and Omsk, Ufa, and Kazan are likely Gagarin Cup contenders.
There are five Elitserien matchups this weekend, with Timra hosting Frölunda on Friday in each of those team's first games. The other games run on Saturday, starting the second round of regular season play. The earlier game to watch (a 4 PM local start) sees HV71 head home to take on Brynäs as the champs try and get back in the winning column, while the later game that I'll be looking at is MODO hosting Djurgården. For an idea of what to expect from the Elitserien crowds, check out this footage from the Djurgårdens opener against HV71:
In the SM-Liiga this weekend, the top game of Friday night features two recent champions facing off against each other, with JYP at home to take on Kärpät. No word on whether Tom Priessing will be available for Kärpät so quickly (I'm guessing not, apparently he's signed with Barys Astana of the KHL now). There are three games on Saturday (four on Friday) and I'm going to go with Ässät hosting the defending champions TPS Turku.
I have no idea who to watch this weekend in the Tipsport Extraliga as their season opens their schedule, and I more than likely will have difficulty locating a game to watch, so it's really a pick your poison scenario. An uneducated guess would have to be Plzen at Karlovy Vary on Friday, followed by Zlìn visiting Slavia Praha on Saturday.
If I could have my way, in a perfect world I'd catch the Ambri-Piotta vs. HC Davos game in the NLA tomorrow, but that won't be happening. Your best bet is to stick to watching as many home games for SC Bern... they'll be taking on the Kloten Flyers on Friday. On Saturday, the choice is realtively easy: Lugano hosting Zug. Lugano was Glen Metropolit's team in 2005-06 when he led them to their last championship, so it's a bit of a homecoming for the league leading scorer.
We're getting right down to it now: how about Eisbaren Berlin vs. Augsburger Panther for Friday in the DEL, and on Sunday go with the early game and see the defending champs Hannover take on Hamburg. Skip to Sunday for the Slovnaft Extraliga: the top two teams, Koscice and Martin meet for the first time this season.

Australian Capital Territory (ACT) Chief Minister Andrew Barr announced on Monday that further funding has been allocated in the 2022-23 Budget to advance the Big Canberra Battery project with $100 million already dedicated to providing at least 250 MW of large-scale battery energy storage.
Barr said the battery project would help “future proof” the territory’s energy supply by reducing the load on Canberra’s electricity network and increasing network reliability. The project is also expected to facilitate the increased installation of rooftop and commercial solar PV across the ACT, allowing more households to enjoy the financial benefits of solar power. “After delivering 100% renewable electricity, battery storage if the next step to protect the ACT when fossil fuel generators fail during hot summers,” Barr said. “ACT Labor recognizes that low-cost energy storage is the missing link in the transition to a 100% renewable National Electricity Market.”
The battery project is to be delivered in three streams. Stream one will deliver 250 MW of grid-connected battery storage to support the electricity network. Stream two will initially seek to deliver batteries, up to 1 MW, at 14 government sites to help reduce power used in government buildings and reduce the strain on the distribution network. Stream three will see the deployment of a still to be specified number of medium-sized neighborhood batteries at sites around the city.
Barr said the battery ecosystem could potentially power over one-third of the ACT. “(The) Big Canberra Battery will involve a distributed network of batteries that will be built around the city,” he said. “The largest batteries will be used to support our electricity network. Smaller batteries would be used to power essential services such as schools and hospitals. In between, neighborhood-scale batteries will provide opportunities for local communities to participate in the energy revolution. As a combined network, this battery system can address network constraints, enable more Canberrans to have solar and shorten the pay-off period of domestic solar systems.”
Procurement processes for streams one and two are currently being developed and will open to industry in August 2022. The latest announcement comes after a call for expressions of interest from companies for the large-scale batteries closed in February 2022.
Construction of the batteries is expected to commence from 2023 with the project to be complete in 2023-24. The Big Canberra Battery project is in addition to the more than 100 MW of battery projects being developed in the ACT by French renewables giant Neoen and Australian developer Global Power Generation.

In this article, we will explore the realm of Pastebin credit cards in 2023, shedding light on the latest trends and highlighting essential security measures to protect your financial information.
As online transactions continue to surge, staying informed about potential risks and safeguarding our sensitive data becomes increasingly important.
Whether you're a seasoned user or a curious individual, read on to discover crucial insights and valuable tips that will help you confidently navigate the credit card landscape.
What are Pastebin Credit Cards?
Pastebin credit cards refer to the unauthorized posting of stolen credit card details on the Pastebin platform, an online content hosting service.
Cybercriminals exploit vulnerabilities in security systems to gain access to credit card information, subsequently sharing it on Pastebin to sell or distribute illegally.
This illicit activity poses a significant threat to individuals and businesses, necessitating robust security measures to combat such breaches.
Emerging Trends in Pastebin Credit Cards
Increased Sophistication of Cyber Attacks
As technology advances, cybercriminals are becoming more sophisticated in their methods. They employ advanced hacking techniques and exploit vulnerabilities in payment systems to steal credit card data.
Targeting E-commerce Platforms
E-commerce platforms have grown tremendously, making them prime targets for cybercriminals seeking credit card information. This trend necessitates heightened security measures to safeguard user data.
Security Measures to Protect Yourself
Regularly Monitor Your Accounts
Reviewing your credit card statements and online transactions can help you promptly detect any suspicious activity. Notify your bank or credit card provider immediately if you identify any unauthorized charges.
Use Strong Passwords
Ensure your passwords are unique, complex, and not easily guessable. Utilize a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols to create a strong password for your online accounts.
Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Enabling 2FA adds an extra layer of security by requiring a secondary verification method, such as a text message or authentication app, along with your password. This measure helps protect your accounts from unauthorized access.
Verified Statistics on Pastebin Credit Card Incidents in 2023
Below is a table presenting verified statistics on past debit credit card incidents reported in 2023. These figures underline the severity of the issue and emphasize the need for heightened security awareness.
5 Tips to Enhance Credit Card Security
- Regularly update your antivirus and firewall software.
- Avoid using public Wi-Fi networks for online transactions.
- Be cautious while sharing credit card details on unfamiliar websites.
- Keep track of credit card expiration dates and promptly request new cards.
- Beware of phishing emails or suspicious links; never share personal information through such channels.
The Role of Encryption in Credit Card Security
Encryption plays a vital role in safeguarding credit card information during online transactions.
When you enter your credit card details on a website, encryption technology scrambles the data, making it unreadable to unauthorized individuals.
This ensures that even if a cybercriminal intercepts the information, they won't be able to decipher it.
Websites and payment gateways must employ robust encryption protocols, such as SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) or TLS (Transport Layer Security), to provide a secure environment for credit card transactions.
Recognizing Signs of Credit Card Fraud
Identifying potential signs of credit card fraud is essential for early detection and mitigation. Here are some red flags to watch out for
- Unfamiliar charges on your credit card statement.
- Receiving notifications or bills for purchases you didn't make.
- Difficulty accessing your online accounts or changing your login credentials without your knowledge.
- Not receiving expected credit card statements in the mail.
If you notice any of these signs, immediately contact your credit card provider to report the suspicious activity and take appropriate action.
Best Practices for Safe Online Shopping
Online shopping has become increasingly popular, and adopting best practices to ensure a secure experience is crucial. Consider the following tips:
- Shop from reputable and secure websites with a valid SSL certificate (look for "https" in the URL).
- Avoid saving credit card information on multiple websites. Opt for entering the details manually for each transaction.
- Use a virtual private network (VPN) when accessing the internet, especially when making online purchases from public networks.
- Regularly update your device's operating system and security software to protect against potential vulnerabilities.
The Role of Fraud Detection Systems
Financial institutions and credit card companies employ advanced detection systems to identify and prevent fraudulent transactions.
These systems utilize machine learning algorithms and analyze various data points, such as transaction patterns, location, and spending behavior, to detect anomalies and potential fraud.
These measures help protect cardholders and merchants from financial losses and maintain the integrity of the credit card ecosystem.
Seeking Professional Help for Credit Card Security
If you feel overwhelmed or require additional assistance securing your credit card information, consider consulting a cybersecurity professional or expert.
They can provide personalized guidance, assess your security measures, and offer recommendations tailored to your needs.
In the digital age, where credit card transactions are an integral part of our daily lives, it is crucial to understand the risks associated with pasting credit card incidents.
By implementing the security measures discussed, staying vigilant for potential signs of fraud, and adopting safe online shopping practices, you can minimize the chances of falling victim to credit card theft.
Protecting your financial information is an ongoing process, and staying informed about the latest trends and security measures is key to maintaining a secure online presence. | <urn:uuid:8e5aae22-8b6e-4f92-a450-d7d036e528b4> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.qcardi.com/2023/06/pastebin-credit-cards.html | 2023-09-28T18:26:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.885556 | 1,165 |
Miklos Jancso returns to the use of color and photographes with a minimum of shots, twelve in this case. The story deals with the historical and political irony of a Croatian anarchist leader of the 1930s who is destroyed by his own forces, only later to be resurrected as a hero.
Miklós Jancsó first studied Law at the University of Kolozsvar and later direction at the School of Cinema in Budapest. His fifth film, _Szegénylegények (1965)_, with a script by Gyula Hernádi, made him internationally known. In his following films he developed a personal style of historic analysis, complex camera movements, dance and popular songs, creating his own style for the movies he called « political musical ». This gave him a broad acceptance in the 1960s. In the 1970s he also filmed in Italy, but did not have the success he was used to. | <urn:uuid:7bb87764-375d-40c9-a95b-26b7ac2f053b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.quinzaine-cineastes.fr/en/film/sirocco | 2023-09-28T17:26:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.971792 | 210 |

Having to pay for overpriced Volvo XC60 insurance can dwindle your savings account and force you to prioritize other expenses. Doing a price comparison is free and is an excellent way to reduce premiums and put more money in your pocket.
Consumers have many insurers to choose from, and although it’s nice to have a choice, it can be more difficult to get the best deal.
Finding Insurance Coverage
When shopping for insurance coverage there are multiple ways to compare quotes from insurance coverage companies in your area. By far the easiest way to find the lowest 2015 Volvo XC60 rates is to perform an online rate comparison. It is quite easy and can be accomplished using a couple different methods.
The most efficient way to get quotes for comparison is an all-inclusive rate comparison click here to open form in new window. This form eliminates the need for separate quotes to each individual insurance coverage company. A single, simple form will return quotes from insurance coverage companies with the best prices.
A more difficult way to get quotes online is to take the time to go to each company’s website and request a quote. For sake of this example, let’s say you want comparison quotes from USAA, Liberty Mutual and Progressive. To get rate quotes you would need to go to every website and enter your policy data, and that’s why the first method is more popular. To view a list of companies in your area, click here.
Which method you use is up to you, but compare exactly the same coverages and limits for each comparison quote. If your comparisons have different limits and deductibles on each one then you won’t be able to determine the best price for your Volvo XC60. Just a small difference in limits may result in a large different in cost. Just remember that getting more free quotes helps you find the best offered rates.
These discounts can slash auto insurance rates
Insurance can be prohibitively expensive, but there are discounts available to reduce the price significantly. A few discounts will automatically apply when you complete an application, but a few need to be asked for prior to receiving the credit.
- Own a Home – Owning a house may trigger a auto insurance policy discount because of the fact that having a home shows financial diligence.
- Discount for Good Grades – Performing well in school can earn a discount of 20% or more. The discount lasts up to age 25.
- Seat Belt Usage – Drivers who require all occupants to buckle their seat belts could cut 10% or more off the personal injury premium cost.
- Multiple Vehicles – Buying coverage for multiple vehicles on the same auto insurance policy qualifies for this discount.
- Club Memberships – Affiliation with a qualifying organization could qualify you for a break on auto insurance for XC60 coverage.
- Driver Safety – Successfully completing a driver safety course could cut 5% off your bill depending on where you live.
- Early Switch Discount – Some companies give discounts for switching to them prior to your current policy expiration. It’s a savings of about 10%.
- Passive Restraints and Air Bags – Vehicles with factory air bags or automatic seat belts may earn rate discounts of up to 25% or more.
Keep in mind that most discount credits are not given to all coverage premiums. Most only apply to the price of certain insurance coverages like medical payments or collision. So when it seems like you would end up receiving a 100% discount, companies don’t profit that way. But all discounts will cut the amount you have to pay.
Companies that may have these money-saving discounts include:
Before buying, ask each company how you can save money. Some discounts may not apply in your state.
Why your Volvo XC60 insurance rates may be high
An important part of buying insurance is that you know some of the elements that help determine the rates you pay for insurance coverage. Having a good understanding of what influences your rates empowers consumers to make smart changes that will entitle you to better insurance coverage rates.
The following are some of the items used by your company to calculate prices.
- Drive a safer car and pay less – Vehicles with good safety scores can get you lower premiums. Safer cars result in less severe injuries and lower injury rates translates into savings for insurance companies passed on to you as lower rates. If your Volvo XC60 has ratings of a minimum four stars on Safercar.gov or an “acceptable” rating on iihs.org you are probably receiving a discount.
- Do you need those extra coverages? – There are quite a few additional coverages that can waste your money if you aren’t careful. Coverages for vanishing deductibles, accident forgiveness and additional equipment coverage may be costing you every month. They may seem like a good idea when talking to your agent, but now you might not need them so eliminate them to save money.
- Lower rates with optional equipment – Owning a car that has an advanced theft prevention system can get you a discount on your insurance coverage. Theft prevention features such as GM’s OnStar, tamper alarm systems and vehicle immobilizers can help prevent your vehicle from being stolen.
- How many coverages with the same company – Some insurers provide better rates to policyholders who consolidate policies with them in the form of a multi-policy discount. If you currently are using one company, you still need to shop around to verify if the discount is saving money.
- Big city or small town – Choosing to live in less populated areas is a positive aspect when buying insurance coverage. Drivers in populated areas have more traffic problems and a longer drive to work. Less people living in that area means reduced accidents and also fewer theft and vandalism claims.
When might I need the advice of an agent?
When buying proper insurance coverage, there really is no “best” method to buy coverage. Everyone’s situation is a little different so your insurance needs to address that. Here are some questions about coverages that can help discover whether or not you will benefit from professional help.
- What vehicles should carry emergency assistance coverage?
- What is no-fault insurance?
- What if I don’t agree with a claim settlement offer?
- Am I covered when using my vehicle for business?
- What if I owe more than I can insure my car for?
- What is the difference between comprehensive and collision coverage?
- Should I have combined single limit or split liability limits?
- Why am I required to buy liability insurance?
If you don’t know the answers to these questions, you might consider talking to an insurance agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, complete this form or go to this page to view a list of companies.
Insurance coverages explained
Learning about specific coverages of a insurance policy aids in choosing the right coverages and proper limits and deductibles. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. These are the usual coverages found on most insurance policies.
Comprehensive insurance – This covers damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive coverage protects against claims such as damage from a tornado or hurricane, rock chips in glass, hitting a deer, vandalism and theft. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.
Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered losses include hospital bills for your injuries and also any damage incurred to your Volvo XC60.
Due to the fact that many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Usually these limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.
Collision coverage – Collision coverage covers damage to your XC60 resulting from colliding with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision can pay for things such as colliding with another moving vehicle, sustaining damage from a pot hole and sideswiping another vehicle. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to bump up the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
Coverage for medical expenses – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for short-term medical expenses for things like prosthetic devices, EMT expenses, doctor visits and nursing services. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants as well as being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP coverage is not available in all states and may carry a deductible
Liability coverages – This coverage can cover injuries or damage you cause to other people or property in an accident. It protects you from legal claims by others, and does not provide coverage for damage to your own property or vehicle.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You might see values of 50/100/50 that translate to a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged property. Alternatively, you may have a combined limit which combines the three limits into one amount without having the split limit caps.
Liability insurance covers claims such as loss of income, medical services, attorney fees, repair costs for stationary objects and funeral expenses. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a decision to put some thought into, but buy higher limits if possible.
Be a penny pincher
Low-cost 2015 Volvo XC60 insurance can be sourced on the web as well as from independent agents, so compare prices from both so you have a total pricing picture. Some insurance providers don’t offer the ability to get a quote online and usually these regional insurance providers provide coverage only through local independent agents.
As you prepare to switch companies, make sure you don’t skimp on critical coverages to save a buck or two. In many cases, drivers have reduced comprehensive coverage or liability limits only to find out they didn’t purchase enough coverage. Your focus should be to purchase plenty of coverage for the lowest price.
We just presented many tips how you can shop for insurance online. It’s most important to understand that the more price quotes you have, the higher the chance of saving money. You may even discover the lowest rates come from a small mutual company. Smaller companies can often insure niche markets at a lower cost as compared to the big name companies such as State Farm and Allstate.

Life Project on Raheenmore
The Living Bog hired contractors to assist with this bog. We undertook restoration works here between February and April 2020, installing a total of 150 peat dams to assist with the eco-hydrological restoration of this important bog – adding to previous restoration works undertaken by the NPWS.
The Dutch-Irish Conservation teams carried out extensive research and minor works from 1989 onwards.
A Raised Bog Restoration Project, assisted by the EU Cohesion Fund, commenced in 1994 and ran up to the end of 1999. Both Clara and Raheenmore Bogs were included in the programme. Conservation works on Raheenmore involved the blocking of drains, construction of dams and research and monitoring activities. Both high bog drainage blocking and construction of dams on the cutover were reported as positive management actions under Restoring/Improving the hydrological regime and an increase in the area of Active Raised Bog was noticed.
The current ‘Living Bog’ conservation objective for Raheenmore Bog is to restore the area of Active Raised Bog (ARB) to the area present when the Habitats Directive came into force in 1994.
In the case of Active Raised Bog, the objective also includes the restoration of Degraded Raised Bog. The Area objective for ARB is approx. 70.63ha (comprising 68.72ha on high bog and 1.91ha on cutover).
The objective in relation to Structure and Functions (S&Fs) is that at least half of the ARB area should be made up of the central ecotope and active flush (i.e. the wetter vegetation communities). These values have been set as Favourable Reference Values.
Degraded Raised Bog still capable of regeneration should be, according to the interpretation manual, capable of regeneration to ‘active raised bog’ in 30 years if appropriate measures are put in place. The remaining non-active high bog is considered supporting habitat for the Annex I habitats on the high bog. This supporting habitat is an essential part of the hydrological unit necessary to support Active and Degraded Raised Bog habitats.
The restoration of suitable cutover areas is essential for Active Raised Bog to achieve the favourable conservation condition at the site. Nevertheless it is acknowledged that a long period of time (i.e. over 30 years) may be needed after appropriate restoration works are undertaken on the cutover areas for the habitat to develop.
A Drainage Management Plan and Fire Management Plan have been put in place.
There has been a slight increase in the area of Active Raised Bog (0.81ha) at Raheenmore in the 2004 to 2011 period. Some changes have been noted near dams at the edge of the high bog built as part of the restoration works carried out between 1994 and 1999. Cutover drainage continues to be the highest negatively impacting activity on Active Raised Bog at the site. Only a few drains on the high bog remain functional, and high bog drains have continued infilling in the 2004-2011 period. No fire events have affected the bog in the reporting period and peat cutting no longer takes place at the site. | <urn:uuid:a6bf5cd8-79be-4799-9203-fa69e3d924dd> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.raisedbogs.ie/life-project-on-raheenmore/ | 2023-09-28T18:05:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.945796 | 650 |
Ranthambore Safari Experience From Visitors
The following stories are shared with us from our readers/visitors which they experienced during the safari. If you also want to share your park experience, please share your story with original photographs at firstname.lastname@example.org We will review and publish here.
“T19 Krishna Female”
We visited the Ranthambore National Park Safari on 15.02.2014. We saw the Tigress at 0440 pm just for a minute and our escort Mr. Suresh Kumar, a vigilant and an intelligent person, was driving across Zone 3 and just visualize her. He told us that she is rarely visible and we were lucky to have a glimpse. She recently was blessed with 2 cubs too.
The experience was rare and of lifetime.
We had seen Tigers in cage and other animals but this was a great feeling to saw and shoot them lively.
This will be in our memory for years and good to know the positive response from the Forest Department Officials when we saw T19.
“T-24 (Ustad) – Male Tiger”
t-24-ustadIt was my 24th safari in a tiger reserve, and it was the first time I saw a male tiger this close, and the most enthralling part was, this handsome guy ROAR for us two times, no words to describe that experience, along with his roar, my goose bumps roared too!
Zone – 2, Ranthambore National Park, Rajasthan, India, photo taken on 14th morning, Nov-13.
This BIG cat came too close to us, you can make out from my picture here. He was huge n handsome. Just few more seconds before he disappeared from our sight. What happened next was simply awesome, he roared n roared again. Just as he was saying “Abbbbe Khaaaamosh” to the animals giving alarm calls, n believe me it was dead silence after he roared.”
Daylight was fading fast as we were returning in a Gipsy from a visit to the ruins of Ranthambhore Fort. We were almost near the gateway on Ranthambhore Road much outside the core areas of RNP. Suddenly, there was an alarm call of a sambar from the nearby bushes.
Our driverji immediately stopped the vehicle, switched off the engine and pointing his finger towards some bushes, whispered that a tiger will emerge from there. Everything seemed to fall silent and freeze to a stillness that cannot be described. Even the blades of grass stood motionless. And sure enough, after 15 seconds, out strode Zalim one of the bigger males and sauntered across the clearing before disappearing into the bushes and approaching darkness. This picture is all I could manage in those conditions.
By the time we reached the road head it had become dark and a crescent moon was up in the sky. Those few moments spent in the company of this majestic creature will be cherished forever.”
It was evening around 5 and we were coming back from our safari…….as i didnt sighted any tiger I have a bit sad…..thwn suddenly my eyes saw a creature in similar state of mines…..he was calm, sad and silent…..i stopped the gypsy and shared my sadness with him…..

Crab and Cream Cheese Wontons Recipe
4 oz. Dungeness or lump crab meat
2 oz. cream cheese
1/4 t. grated lemon zest
1/2 t. lemon juice
1/4 t. Kosher salt or to taste
1/8 t. freshly ground black pepper
2 t. snipped chives
18 wonton wrappers
vegetable oil for deep frying
1 large egg whisked with 2 T. water
Pick through the crab to remove any remaining bits of cartilage and shell. Mix the crab, cream cheese, lemon zest and juice, salt, pepper and chives together. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Folding the wonton:
Place a heaping half-teaspoon of filling on one corner of the wonton skin, leaving the edges clean. Moisten the edges with egg wash. Bring one set of opposite corners together and seal all the edges, making a triangle. Next, bring the long ends of the triangle together, overlapping the corners slightly and sealing with more egg wash. Turn the third corner up if it isn't already, forming a small tortellini or hat-shape.
Alternate folding method:
Cut the wonton skins in half, diagonally. Brush one side with egg wash then place a small dollop of filling a bit off the middle of the triangle. Bring the open edges together and seal, forming a small triangle.
Meanwhile, heat the oil to about 350� F. Fry the wontons until they are golden brown, about 45 seconds to 1 minute. Drain well on a rack lined with paper towels.
Makes about 1 1/2 dozen. | <urn:uuid:40bbdce1-e044-42e7-b9ce-f80f9d149a96> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.razzledazzlerecipes.com/newyears/cracheese.htm | 2023-09-28T18:07:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.859244 | 357 |

Comparison of coronary venous defibrillation with conventional transvenous internal defibrillation in man.
Roberts PR., Paisey JR., Betts TR., Allen S., Whitman T., Bonner M., Morgan JM.
OBJECTIVE: Animal studies have shown that defibrillation in coronary veins is more effective than in the right ventricle. We aimed to assess the feasibility of placing defibrillation electrodes in the middle cardiac vein (MCV) in man and its impact on defibrillation requirements. METHODS: A prospective randomised study conducted in a tertiary referral centre. 10 patients (9 male) undergoing ICD implantation (65 (12) yrs) for NASPE/BPEG indications were studied. Defibrillation thresholds (DFT) were measured, using a binary search and an external defibrillator after 10 seconds of ventricular fibrillation, for the following configurations in each patient (order of testing randomised): RV + MCV --> Can and RV --> SVC + Can. INTERVENTIONS: A dual coil defibrillation electrode was placed transvenously in the right ventricle (RV) in the conventional manner. Using a guiding catheter a 3.2 Fr (67.5 mm length) electrode was placed transvenously in MCV. A test-can was placed subcutaneously in the left pectoral region. RESULTS: Lead placement was possible in 8/10 pts. Time to perform a middle cardiac venogram and place the electrode was 21 (23) mins. No adverse events were observed. Defibrillation current was less (6.7 (2.7) A) with RV + MCV --> Can compared to the conventional RV --> SVC + Can configuration (8.9 (3.4) A, p = 0.03). There was no significant difference in defibrillation voltage or energy. However, shock impedance was higher in the former configuration (57 (10) v. 43 (6) Omega, p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: In the majority of cases placement of a defibrillation lead in MCV is feasible. Defibrillation current requirements are 25% less when the shock is delivered using a MCV electrode. | <urn:uuid:2074d2dc-e588-4c8d-8d0b-67bb7330a649> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.rdm.ox.ac.uk/publications/667321 | 2023-09-28T17:42:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.917584 | 462 |
Effective Rate of Return
The effective rate of return is the rate of interest on an investment annually when compounding occurs more than once.
It is calculated through the following formula:
Effective Rate Of Return = (1 + i/ n) n-1
Here; i stands for the annual interest rate
N stands for the number of compounding periods
It can be said that the Effective Rate Of Return determines the effect of compounding for the annual interest rate.
It can be better explained this way that if an investment pays 5 percent per year but without any compounding than the effective rate of return will be 5 percent. On the other hand, if an investment is compounded monthly then the effective rate of return will be greater than 5 percent.
If we move on to the importance of the effective rate of return then it is said to be important for 2 reasons. First one is that it is accurate. It is much more than estimating returns only. It helps in determining all the details that might be needed for compounding. Secondly, it is being popularly used as it is based on simple calculations of interests.
The effective rate of return helps to determine the return that will be gained on each investment and it covers up a number of marketing instruments, loans and investments.
It can be said that effective rate of return is useful in determining what amount of money will be gained or lost on an investment during a given course of time. The amount that can be lost or gained might be profit, net income, interest or loss. In this way, the financial analysts are able to calculate what amount of gain or loss they will be born over the amount of money that they have invested in a particular thing over a certain time period. | <urn:uuid:18a52d3b-1218-44fe-9d24-8f6f4897af09> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.readyratios.com/reference/profitability/effective_rate_of_return.html | 2023-09-28T18:38:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.948217 | 351 |

Halfway through its six-episode run, when you'd think the series would be ramping up towards the endgame, this episode slows down for some solid character work. In the process, it delivers the best scenes and one of the best episodes of the series.
We begin right where Episode 3 leaves off, with Jack Duquesne holding the Ronin sword to Clint's throat. Kate runs over, telling him to stop, and Eleanor chimes in with her own, "There's an Avenger in my dining room?" (Although one wonders if they were already there and Kate didn't just see them, or if they somehow magically poofed into existence just to catch our heroes.) There follows an awkward conversation with the four of them, with Kate asserting that she's working with Clint and she's his partner, and Clint denying it. When Clint gets up to leave, Eleanor follows him to the elevator and gives him a lecture, reminding him that Kate isn't a superhero and saying, "I can't lose her." She asks Clint to drop the case. Clint says he can't, but promises to protect her daughter. After the elevator doors close, Clint texts his wife and asks her to look into Sloan LTD, the company Kate found on Eleanor's laptop, and Eleanor makes a call to an unnamed person, asking said person to call her back and saying it's "urgent."
(Also, Clint somehow snags the Ronin sword off a table and hides it under his jacket when he leaves. This is another necessary plot bunny that irritated me--we're supposed to think that Jack didn't notice it was gone?)
Afterwards, there's a rather cloying scene of Jack and Eleanor dancing and making kissyface. Kate scowls and blushes and looks away through much of this, but she clearly sees that Eleanor apparently really loves Jack, and at least for the moment Kate drops her objections to him. Which objections are right on target, as we see when Laura calls Clint and tells him Sloan LTD is laundering money "for the Big Guy" via the Tracksuit Mafia and Jack is its CEO. It's brought home that far from being the in-the-dark spouse, Laura knows everything Clint has done and is doing. Laura also asks if anything else is missing from the Avengers' compound and Clint has her start checking for the tracking signal from the Avengers watch, seen in the first episode.
Clint goes back to Kate's aunt's apartment to rest and tape frozen cranberries on his bruises, and the scene that follows is the heart of the episode. Kate shows up with pizza, Pizza Dog, Christmas movies and a Grumpy Cat sweater for Clint. In the midst of making smoothies, Clint teaching Kate to flip a coin through the air so forcefully it will hit the switch on a TV/VCR and turn the machine off and/or knock somebody out (which will surely come up later), and watching said movies, Clint admits some stark truths. I slowed this scene down to write out the dialogue, and may I say it was masterfully acted by both Jeremy Renner and Hailee Steinfeld.
Kate: "Best shot you ever took?"
Clint: "The one I never took."
Kate: "What does that mean?" Clint tries to demur, but she presses him: "It'll be a good story, I'm sure."
Clint's expression sobers instantly: "It's just not a good story, okay? It's about the time I met someone. I was sent to take her out. And when I got there, when it was time, I couldn't do it. I just had this feeling she wanted out. Turns out I was right."
"You mean Natasha."
"Yeah. She was the best there was."
"It's all right. When you do what I do for a living, it's just a game of managing loss, right?"
A little later, while watching another black-and-white Xmas movie (maybe It's a Wonderful Life?), Kate: "You lost your family in the Blip?"
"Yeah. Like half the world."
"God, that must have been devastating."
"Yeah. There are no words."
"Is that where you met the Ronin?" Long pause, while Clint stares into space and doesn't answer. Finally, Kate says: "It's you, isn't it?"
"Everybody dealt with the Blip in their own way. I continued doing what I was trained to do."
"Hurting people. Investigating first, but in the end, my job has always been to hurt people."
"You were a hero," Kate insists.
"I was a weapon. I was aimed by the right people at the right targets."
"Look, you made mistakes, but those are behind you."
"No, it's tied to me. Tied to my family. That's why I'm here. And I can't go home until I fix it."
I was a bit surprised that Clint's identity as the Ronin was revealed quickly and without the drama I expected--I thought Kate would flip when she found out. Maybe it's because the final two episodes will indeed have the action ramping up and no time for Kate to have an emotional meltdown, but it also speaks to the relationship these two are developing, that she was able to accept this. The scene also shows, once again, Clint's unresolved grief and guilt over the loss of his family, his actions during the Blip, and Natasha's death, as after Kate leaves, Clint sits in the chair and we're treated to flashbacks from the Marvel movies about all three.
The next day, Clint dispatches Kate to meet up with the LARPers, one of whom is a cop, and talk them into sneaking his trick arrows out of the evidence locker. Meanwhile, he goes to meet up with Kazi, Maya's lieutenant, and warn her off hunting down the Ronin. When he returns from this errand, the LARPers are in Kate's apartment baking snickerdoodles and showing off their homemade outfits, and Kate talks them into making new uniforms for her and Clint. In the middle of all this, Laura texts Clint to say that she's found the signal from the Avengers watch and gives him the address. The LARPer policewoman comes in with the bag holding Clint's arrows just as he leaves, and Kate (of course) insists on coming along.
On the building across the street from the apartment where the watch was found, Clint makes an elaborate plan to get inside, which Kate promptly bollixes by walking across the street and following an old man through the door. She goes to the apartment and uses her lockpicks to break in, while carrying her bow and Clint's trick arrows and complaining about it, which leads to a funny exchange: "What do you do with this giant bow problem?"
"I have a collapsible one," Clint replies, perfectly deadpan.
Inside, Kate finds the watch. She also finds handwritten notes about Clint's family, and Clint tells her to get out, realizing it's Maya Lopez's apartment. Too late: Maya is there, and she lays into Kate. But Clint is also suddenly fighting a masked person on the roof who isn't Maya--who is it? The remainder of the episode is dedicated to this four-person battle, with Clint shooting a zip line for Kate to ride over to the roof, Maya following, and the unknown masked person laying into all of them with expert self-defense and high-tech weaponry. Finally, Kate shoots a sonic trick arrow that deafens everybody (except Maya), and another regular arrow makes Maya run away. Clint rips off the other fighter's mask to reveal none other than Yelena Bulova, Natasha's Black Widow sister who was shown to be coming for Clint at the end of the Black Widow movie. Kate has Yelena in her sights but doesn't take the shot, and Yelena throws down a grappling hook, vaults over the edge of the roof, and vanishes.
At that point, Kate yells at Clint: "Who the hell was that?"
"You don't want to know, Kate."
"I cannot be your partner if you don't tell me what's going on!"
At this, Clint lowers the boom. "You're not my partner. Do you understand that? You never were. Someone has hired a Black Widow assassin. This has gotten very real, very quickly. So I'm doing this alone."
"No, you're not. Look, I know that tonight didn't go as planned. But I chose to be here. I understand the risk. I understand all of that."
"I'm not going to do it," Clint retorts, his voice deadly calm. "Do you hear me? Do you hear me? Go home, Kate. It's over."
And unable to do anything else (at least for the moment--we know perfectly well Kate isn't going to stay out of this) Kate storms off.
I didn't expect this show to take the time for such good character work, but I really appreciated it. Now we will see how Yelena fits into all this, and what Yelena and Maya will do. | <urn:uuid:ea40b9c7-55e7-454d-bfdb-2a931adf9634> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.redheadedfemme.com/2021/12/streamin-meemies-hawkeye-ep-4-partners.html | 2023-09-28T16:46:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.982122 | 1,924 |

Look out Hogtown… Redpoint Design is coming to town! I’m off to Toronto this week for a conference sponsored by the RGD (Registered Graphic Designers) association of Ontario. Design Thinkers 2007 is a hodgepodge of new media, branding and design leaders from across North America, with a myriad of session choices of presenter and subject matter.
I’m most excited to see Debbie Millman of Sterling Brands, New York. Her ability to keep perspective on the life of a simple graphic designer, while offering insight into the realities of being a partner in one of the major US Branding Agencies is quite refreshing—and informative. I first heard her speak at Grant MacEwan College in Edmonton in ’05.
There will be workshops on trends in design, the ever-evolving internet, and commentary on where we are going with design & communications in Canada today.
Oh, and we get to raid a variety of agencies in the Toronto area, poaching talent and clients where ever we go… OK… Maybe we’ll see the lunchroom and have a coffee, but we will get to tour many of our peers’ studios in TO. I just hope there is fooseball.
So, I’ll be away for the week of October 15-19. Sonya is being a good trooper and working hard back at the office. If there are any projects that need attention, she can help out. Feel free to email Sonya with any queries. | <urn:uuid:d20d9b77-ccc6-4f4a-a94a-2d1b1d55fc3c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.redpointcreative.ca/off-to-toronto-design-thinkers-conference-2007/ | 2023-09-28T18:59:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00199.warc.gz | en | 0.938952 | 309 |

As 2023 is coming, it’s time to start thinking ahead. What will this new year bring for your business? One of the best ways to prepare for success in the upcoming year is by developing a solid digital marketing strategy. By investing in the right tactics and channels, you can position yourself to reach more customers, gain more visibility, and increase your overall profitability. How can you create an effective digital marketing strategy? Find out how to create a successful plan for 2023 by reading on.
Define your target audience
Identifying your target audience is the first step in any digital marketing strategy. Identifying your ideal customer can be accomplished by analyzing your current customer base. Knowing your target audience will help you create content that appeals to them.
Your target audience should be the focus of your digital marketing strategy. All of your content, whether it’s blog posts, articles, or social media updates, should be created with your target audience in mind. You can keep them engaged by providing them with useful and relevant information.
Research what digital marketing platforms they use
When it comes to digital marketing, there are a lot of different platforms and strategies that you can use in order to reach your target audience. However, before you can start implementing any digital marketing strategy, you need to first research what platforms and strategies your competition is using. This will give you a better idea of what is working for them and what isn’t so that you can tailor your own strategy accordingly.
Some of the most popular digital marketing platforms include social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram; search engines like Google and Bing; and online advertising platforms like AdWords and Display Network. No matter which platform you decide to use for your digital marketing campaign, make sure that you are creating quality content that will engage your target audience.
Decide which platforms to use for your brand
Your digital marketing strategy should include a mix of platforms to reach the widest audience possible. But with so many options available, it can be tough to decide which platforms to use for your brand. Here are a few factors to consider when choosing the right platform for your business:
-Your target audience: Which platforms do your target customers use? Make sure you’re present where they are.
-Your budget: Some platforms require more investment than others. Before you make any commitments, consider your budget.
-Your goals: What do you hope to accomplish through digital marketing? Choose platforms that will help you meet those goals.
Once you’ve considered these factors, you’ll be able to narrow down your options and choose the best platform or platforms for your brand.
Create engaging content
In order to create engaging content, you need to know your audience and what they want to see. Once you know this, you can start creating content that is relevant and interesting to them. Remember to keep your content fresh, so that your audience doesn’t get bored and stop paying attention.
If you have any technical issues with digital marketing related then you take help from a digital marketing agency in Indore through Digital Braino.
Some ideas for creating engaging content include:
-Starting a blog and writing articles that are interesting and informative
-Creating videos that are entertaining or educational
-Making infographics that are visually appealing and explain complex topics in an easy to understand way
-Posting photos and stories on social media that show the human side of your brand
-Running contests or giving away freebies to encourage people to interact with your brand
Measure your success and analyze your data
As a business owner, you can’t just set your sights on increasing your website traffic. You need to make sure that the visitors who come to your site are actually interacting with your brand and becoming customers or leads. To do this, you need to measure your success and analyze your data.
There are a number of ways to measure website success, but one of the most important is conversion rate. This is the percentage of visitors who make a purchase or sign up for a newsletter on your website. A low conversion rate indicates that people are visiting your site but not converting.
To find out your conversion rate, take the number of conversions (actions taken by visitors) and divide it by the number of unique visitors. For example, if you had 100 conversions and 1,000 unique visitors, your conversion rate would be 10%.
Your conversion rate can be improved once you know it. Content quality, web design, and the ease of finding what you’re looking for can all affect conversion rates. Your conversion rate can be increased by analyzing your data and making changes accordingly.
Creating a digital marketing strategy that sets your brand up for success involves many steps. But it’s worth it! You’ll be well on your way to building a recognizable, strong brand with these steps and hard work.
Now that you know how to create a digital marketing strategy, it’s time to get started!

America has been surviving within an inflation bubble for the past year and has left people wondering if it will ever burst. Every significant barometer of inflation has soared in 2021, particularly the consumer price index. As measured by the CPI, the cost of living has jumped 5.4% in the past year to mark the most considerable increase in 13 years, as noted by Jeffry Bartash, an author at MarketWatch. Many economists credit the high inflation rate in 2021 as a byproduct of temporary disruptions caused by COVID-19 and will return to pre-pandemic rates. However, other economists have concluded the higher rates are here to stay. The question of will inflation decrease, and if it does, what will the economic impacts be, has gripped the fiscal analysis community.
Mr. Jeffrey Bartash, a reporter for MarketWatch in Washington, D.C., notes that the U.S. Federal Reserve claims that the burst of inflation is only temporary. Their reasoning faults the reopening of the economy for the widespread shortages of supplies and labor, leading to mismatched supply and demand. The subsequent increase in prices or wages contributed to the current inflation. The Fed predicts that inflation will return to the pre-pandemic average of 2% a year or less once the workforce is rebuilt and labor shortages subside.
As illustrated in the mapping of inflation changes below, the inflation rate has risen drastically throughout the year. The highlights include grocery food inflation rates increasing by 22% in a single year, car insurance increased by 57%, and car rentals have increased by 110% compared to a year ago.

According to Columbia Threadneedle Investments, a global firm dedicated to informing fiscal decisions, low and predictable inflation levels similar to what we’ve experienced over the past 20 years generally positively influence supply and demand, employment, and economic growth. Although inflation has appeared to be devastating, it could be viewed as an overall positive outlook on the country’s progression. Since the 2008 financial crisis, central banks have struggled to meet their inflation targets to generate enough demand. Adrian Hilton, Columbia Threadneedle Investments’ Head of Global Rates and Emerging Market Debt, suggest that with the labor markets as strong as they have been for the past 20 years, you can’t create inflation. Adrian argues that if there is no inflation, there may never be a point where interest rates rise. Continuing, if rates do not rise, there will be a dilemma when the next downturn occurs because little to no opportunity will exist to cut rates and stimulate the demand needed to energize a recovery. With inflation on the rise, Columbia Threadneedle Investments predicts rates will increase, such as the mortgage increased in mid-2020 until the current day in 2021. The firm also believes that this will increase the probability of central banks reaching their inflation goals and retain their ability to raise rates.
Earlier this year, REMI hosted “The Broader Implications of the Global Minimum Tax,” a webinar discussion that considered the effects of tax policy changes on inflation in various industry sectors.
