Good nutrition is a cornerstone of overall health and well-being. What you eat directly impacts your body’s ability to function properly, ward off diseases, and maintain a healthy weight. Adopting a balanced and nutrient-rich diet can significantly contribute to your optimal health. Here’s a comprehensive guide to eating well for improved well-being.
1. Embrace a Balanced Diet:
A balanced diet includes a variety of nutrients from different food groups. Make sure your meals are composed of:
- Fruits and Vegetables: These provide essential vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants. Aim to fill half your plate with a colorful array of fruits and vegetables.
- Whole Grains: Opt for whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, whole wheat bread, and oats. They offer more nutrients and fiber compared to refined grains.
- Protein Sources: Include lean proteins like poultry, fish, beans, lentils, tofu, and nuts. Protein is crucial for tissue repair and growth.
- Dairy or Dairy Alternatives: These provide calcium for strong bones. Choose low-fat or plant-based options.
- Healthy Fats: Incorporate sources of healthy fats like avocados, olive oil, nuts, and fatty fish. These fats support heart optimal health and brain function.
2. Portion Control:
While eating a variety of nutrient-rich foods is essential, portion control is equally important. Overeating, even with healthy foods, can lead to weight gain. Pay attention to portion sizes and listen to your body’s hunger and fullness cues.
3. Stay Hydrated:
Water is vital for digestion, circulation, temperature regulation, and overall bodily functions. Aim for at least 8 glasses of water a day, and adjust your intake based on activity level and climate.
4. Minimize Processed Foods:
Highly processed foods often contain excessive amounts of added sugars, unhealthy fats, and sodium. These can contribute to weight gain, heart disease, and other health issues. Opt for whole, minimally processed foods whenever possible.
5. Limit Added Sugars and Salt:
Excess sugar and salt intake are linked to various optimal health problems, including obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Read nutrition labels to identify hidden sources of added sugars and sodium in packaged foods.
6. Prioritize Nutrient Density:
Choose foods that provide a high amount of nutrients relative to their calorie content. Vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, and whole grains are excellent examples of nutrient-dense choices.
7. Plan Meals Mindfully:
Planning your meals can help you make healthier choices and avoid last-minute fast food options. Include a mix of macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) in each meal for sustained energy.
8. Listen to Your Body:
Your body communicates its needs through hunger and fullness cues. Eat when you’re hungry and stop when you’re satisfied, not overly full. Avoid eating out of boredom or emotions.
9. Include Fiber-Rich Foods:
Fiber aids digestion promotes a feeling of fullness, and supports a healthy diet. Whole grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables are excellent sources of dietary fiber.
10. Don’t Skip Breakfast:
Breakfast kickstarts your metabolism and provides essential energy for the day. Choose nutrient-rich options like whole-grain cereal, yogurt with fruits, or eggs with vegetables.
11. Practice Moderation:
Moderation is key to enjoying occasional treats without derailing your overall healthy meal plan. It’s okay to indulge occasionally but make it the exception rather than the rule.
12. Be Mindful of Alcohol:
If you consume alcohol, do so in moderation. Excessive alcohol intake can lead to various optimal health issues, including liver problems and weight gain.
13. Adapt to Dietary Needs:
Individual nutritional needs vary based on factors like age, gender, activity level, and health conditions. Consult a registered dietitian or healthcare professional to tailor your diet to your specific needs.
14. Stay Consistent:
Consistency is key to long-term success. Gradually incorporating healthy eating habits into your lifestyle is more sustainable than drastic, short-term changes.
Eating well is a foundational aspect of achieving and maintaining optimal health. By adopting a balanced, nutrient-rich diet, practicing portion control, and making mindful choices, you can fuel your body for a vibrant and energetic life. Remember that small, sustainable changes can yield significant benefits over time. Always prioritize your well-being by making informed food choices and listening to your body’s cues. | <urn:uuid:7b2d9faa-886f-4074-84ed-85ec267aa3cf> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://bloggersmap.com/nutrition-101-eating-well-for-optimal-health/ | 2023-09-30T00:19:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00099.warc.gz | en | 0.895977 | 970 |
When the Lakers bludgeoned the Blazers, 121-96, on Sunday, the disparity of the score wasn’t as concerning as the disappearance of a player.
Three-time All Star Brandon Roy scored just eight points for Portland that game, but more significantly — attempted only six shots. Hardly typical for a team’s No. 1 option, even if the league’s No. 1 on-ball defender was guarding him.
The situation reminded me of a yarn I heard regarding an interaction between Larry Bird and Reggie Miller, when Bird was coaching the Pacers and chided Miller after his 0-for-5 first-half performance.
“You’re not giving it to me, Reggie!” Bird yowled.
“Not giving it to you? I’m just not hitting my shots,” Miller retorted.
Answered Bird: “Yeah, but if you were giving it to me, you’d be 0 for 10.”
And that’s what seems to be the issue with Roy right now — sub-40-percent shooting percentage aside, the 26-year-old just isn’t quite giving it.
Please don’t misinterpret that. In no way am I suggesting that Roy lacks any effort. His 38.9 minutes per game lead the team and are 14th in the league, and as he said today, “I haven’t missed a practice.”
But Roy did say that he’s not as reckless as he used to be when driving to the basket, and often questions whether going hard to the rim is in his body’s best interest. He also hinted that his surgically-repaired knee isn’t where he’d like it to be, confessed that he’s lost some explosiveness, and “hopes” a reduction in minutes will allow him to return to the B Roy of old.
The thing of it is, the B Roy longing for the B Roy of old…is not very old. He’s 26, which makes quotes like this, at the very least, perplexing.
“Are my most athletic days behind me? I’ll let you guess. I’ll let you take a lucky guess about that one,” Roy said with a grin of acceptance. “Yeah, I gotta adjust. It’s time to adjust a little bit.”
Dwyane Wade is 28 and goes Peter Pan on his foes when finishing an alley-oop. Michael Jordan was 28 when he won his first NBA title. Roy is still two years removed from the aforementioned ages and has supposedly logged less “mileage” because he didn’t play an NBA game until he was 22.
Granted, Roy doesn’t bank on his athleticism. He’s among the more clever stars in the league and would find the basket if you put him in a 40-year-old’s frame a la “Freaky Friday.” But that extra burst was the difference between Bulls Jordan and Wizards Jordan, and the latter was still one of the most skilled players in basketball.
Nate McMillan was non-committal in discussing the future of Roy’s playing time. He asserted that most players don’t have their legs this early into the season anyway, that winning is more important than monitoring minutes, and that the sheer volume of recent games may be accentuating Roy’s level of fatigue.
Then Nate added: “Didn’t he have 26 or 28 two games ago?”
It was 26. And maybe McMillan’s right. Maybe this is an anthill we’re calling Kilimanjaro. Roy’s 20.3 points per game, after all, are only 1.2 points fewer than what he averaged last season.
Or perhaps in this hyper-concentrated market, Roy is just trying to drag down the expectations soaring well above his 6-foot-6 inch frame.
Or maybe there really is a problem.
Roy said Tuesday that he has talked to a few people recently via phone and experienced a “reality check,” learning that “this is what it is and (I) gotta make the most of the situation.” And when asked if this was difficult to deal with mentally, Roy said “very.”
Again, maybe this really is nothing. Kobe Bryant struggled mightily heading into last year’s postseason, but after having his knee drained, staged one of the great individual playoff performances ever through the first three rounds.
But assuming Greg Oden and Joel Przybilla return healthy and productive, the Blazers still need the complete Brandon Roy to get where they want to go — the Roy that Bryant and Ron Artest have each labeled the league’s toughest player to guard.
Besides his apparent addiction to philanthropy, what I’ve enjoyed most about Roy is his approachability and candor. He’s always smiling and providing thoughtful, straightforward answers. I hope that doesn’t change.
But fans of his team can’t be encouraged by what left his mouth Tuesday.
At this point in the season, the buzz was supposed about the Blazers looking ahead toward the good days to come, not Roy looking back at the days he’s left behind.

Get This For Dad
Father’s Day is right around the corner. If you are still stumped for gift ideas, here’s a little something that might be just the thing. Husbands, fathers, brothers, boyfriends, sons… any grill loving man who spends a decent amount of his time standing over the flames flipping meat back and forth needs this. Read on.
If you are serious about food safety, or if you just want to make a perfectly cooked burger every time, the Thermapen digital thermometer will change the way you cook. I am so in love with this device that I am shamelessly plugging it, even though I am in no way being compensated.
Truth be told, this gadget topped my wish list this past Christmas, so the one you see here belongs to me. My husband was only mildly interested when the box arrived, and I had to chase him around with it a bit before I could cajole him into giving it a try. Mind you, my husband was already turning out perfectly cooked steaks, chicken, and fish. He had some system of his own, and it was working, but this little guy took it up a notch. The first time he used it, he was skeptical. The next time he headed for the grill, he was asking me where it was so he could take it with him. Now both of us are using it, every single time we cook, and let me tell you, it’s life altering. There is no more guessing if ground beef is safe to eat, or if the chicken is done, because you can measure it. Perfectly cooked salmon and steaks exactly to your liking. Your food will not be the same.
There are several options to consider when you order. The basic, classic model sells for $59. But if you grill in the dark, the rain, are left-handed, or tend to be juggling a lot when you cook, consider the Mk4 model. At $99, the display auto-rotates, so you can read it any direction. It has a backlight, and is waterproof. Yes, it costs a bit more, but it fits the way we cook, so this is the model I chose. There is a lot to peruse on the website, including some options that might be better for using with a smoker (the Traeger kind). Now the hard part: picking a color.
Finally, order direct from the Thermapen website. There was enough dialogue about problems with pens ordered from other sources to make me sure to avoid them.
My husband loves the Thermapen. There’s a man in your life who needs this. Don’t even think about it. Just get it for him. | <urn:uuid:8c0615cf-b9dc-477e-b35d-d6327eca30ba> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://blogs.columbian.com/home-made/get-this-for-dad/ | 2023-09-29T23:49:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00099.warc.gz | en | 0.969872 | 567 |
Augmented Reality and the Connected Factory
A few weeks ago at OpenText™ Enterprise World 2018, I had the pleasure of demoing our brand new Microsoft HoloLens Augmented Reality application for OpenText™ Extended ECM to our partners and customers.
You’re probably thinking, what does an Augmented Reality device have to do with ECM? Let me explain.
Augmented Reality is all about bringing information from different worlds (real or fictional) together. That is exactly what OpenText Extended ECM is all about; bridging two worlds of information. We connect the information locked in business applications to other business applications and to collaboration platforms like Office 365, giving you a complete view of your information. Our application, and basically Augmented Reality, is all about that.
Our application demo is built around Connected Factories or, in other words; we provide managers and engineers a complete view of their physical assets, the related documentation (service manuals, installation manuals, etc.) and related information like Big Data Analytics (predictive maintenance, risk analysis, buyer information), IoT data (real time machine data, efficiency rate, downtime), business data (supplier, stock level, manufacturer, location) and Process information (assigned engineer, maintenance steps, escalations).
In the demo, we start with a manager who is notified about an item during the daily summary that maintenance is scheduled because of a possible disruption that can be avoided with predictive maintenance calculated by OpenText™ Magellan™.
The manager reviews the notification and schedules an engineer—of course, this can be done automatically with OpenText Magellan and OpenText™ Process Suite, but what kind of a demo would that be. The manager is presented with an overview of the virtual production floor with the assets’ status and the steps to take.
Once the engineer is assigned, the engineer is notified of the schedule and can do the maintenance. The engineer is also guided by the application, able to get instructions provided by Microsoft® Cortana (coming from the Extended ECM integration with SAP) and review documents, videos and 3D models (with see-through views that show the involved part or augmented on the physical asset) that are stored in the business workspace of the asset or part (also integrated with SAP).
When maintenance is complete, OpenText Process Suite updates all the systems, completes the maintenance task and the process. All visually (augmented) guided.
Future or present?
Although a lot of the projects with Augmented Reality are in the ‘preview,’ ‘beta’ or ‘investigation’ stage, a lot of real-life applications have already been developed, like virtual guides in your just-developed new home that allow you to walk though it before it’s even built. Ford already uses AR to design some of their cars, reducing R&D spend and design time, making them more agile and competitive in costs.
Recent visits to customers and partners involved use cases for boat wiring, so an engineer can ‘see through’ a boat wall and ceiling, revealing the wiring that is applied hidden behind the panels. We talked about the ability for real-time designs, tweaking applications and machines while seeing real-time feedback from the Analytics platform, creating digital factories allowing you to see what is happening in remote locations and even using them in environments where it would be too difficult for a human to be physically. All of these projects involve multiple information sources coming together, showing a holistic view of the information in real-time.
Augmented Reality is all about bringing information from different worlds (real or fictional) together. That is exactly what OpenText Extended ECM is all about.
Ideal use case
Which uses cases would AR be ideal for? My personal opinion is that there will be a purpose in any environment. Currently, because of the investment of the hardware, not all use cases are a good fit yet, but when the devices get cheaper (and that happens very fast nowadays) it will broaden quickly to areas such as:
- eLearning, for guiding you through the information
- Real-time assistance as described
- Test scenarios without the need to physically create the items
- Fine tuning big data without re-creating the models or investigating them
- Remote vision (surgery / radiation / under water / space)
So, what’s ahead?
For our business, I see huge opportunities in the areas of:
- Security (augmented audits of systems, data centers, offices)
- Privacy (GDPR, assessments, interviews, practices)
- Data enrichment (environment scans, recognition of voice and objects, location) | <urn:uuid:a4e06bbf-e9cb-4805-9ccf-629bc59f9f95> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://blogs.opentext.com/augmented-reality-iot-and-enterprise-content-management/ | 2023-09-29T23:40:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00099.warc.gz | en | 0.925639 | 961 |
As part of Unused Terrain, I regularly follow initiatives by organisations whose purpose is to revitalize, recycle, or re-use vacant lots. 596 acres, an organization based in New York and founded by Paula Z. Segal, first started activating vacant land when Paul came across a spreadshees of all the publicly owned vacant land in Brooklyn and created a map of it to distribute (easier said than done, if our experience in Vancouver is to be relied on!) The map was designed to be a tool to “let people know about the unharnessed potential hidden in plain sight throughout the city’s neighbourhoods.” Since then, 596 acres creates tools that aid citizens access and activate vacant city-owned lands. Their goal is to change the way people see vacant land in their neighbourhood and empower relationships and connections with land. Many of the tools created by 596 acres help citizens understand what is happening with vacant lots and promotes community development and education about sustainable land use. An admirable goal and something to aspire to!

Just like improving air quality in older homes, finding a way to deal with dust can be quite nerve-racking. If it builds up over a longer period of time, not only will it ruin the pleasant appearance of your house, but it will also trigger a number of health problems. While you can’t get rid of every speck of dust, keeping dust in your home at bay is imperative for a pristine, wholesome home.
If you’re looking for a routine that will enable you to properly handle your dust situation and improve air quality in your house, just follow our simple tips. The top-rated Boulder cleaning service is here to give you a way out of your dusty troubles. Stay tuned!
What causes lots of dust in a house?
Even after you’ve removed dust from certain surfaces, a new layer may quickly reappear and make you wonder: how long am I supposed to clean until all the dust is gone for good? You can add dusting to your weekly chores list, but it might not do the trick either. In that case, the chances are that you’re facing at least one of the following problems:
Cheap and dirty HVAC filters
Cheap filters have larger holes that let more dust settle into your rooms through heating and cooling vents. HVAC filters are assessed according to their minimum efficiency reporting value (MERV), and in order to get an efficient one, look for a filter with a MERV rating of at least five to eight.
Your vacuum is not up to par
Many vacuum cleaners fail to collect dust efficiently. In fact, they can even do more harm than good by stirring up more dust than they capture. This is due to a lack of a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter that successfully traps dust, as well as other pollutants.
Air duct leaks
If you have a leak in your air duct, you can expect to see dust from the attic and other places dispersed all over your home. Some of the common signs of a leak include the presence of hot and cool spots in various places. Additionally, a higher than normal energy bill may also be an indicator because your system has to operate much longer than usual.
How do I eliminate dust in my home?
If there’s a severe dust build-up in your house, simply removing it with a dust mop or cloth won’t cut it. Instead, you’ll need to address the three aforementioned situations. Here’s how:
Replace your HVAC filters regularly
Not even high-quality filters with a good MERV rating are impervious to dust. Naturally, the more you use your HVAC system, the faster the filters will clog—and be powerless in the face of dust. To avoid this, replace air filters at least every three months.
Upgrade your vacuum or switch to hard flooring
To prevent dust from recirculating onto the carpets as you vacuum, get a model with a HEPA filter. By doing so, you’ll be able to trap as much as 99 percent of dust and debris.
However, the most effective measure you can take is to simply remove your carpets and switch to hard floorings, such as hardwood or laminate.
Seal your air duct leaks
Since air duct leaks should never be handled by an uncertified individual, your best bet is to hire a professional contractor. This is the most reliable way to both detect and seal the leaks timely.
Book the unmatched Boulder cleaning service for a spotless, dust-free home
Admittedly, regular dusting is not as laborious as some other chores. But by no means should you spend your precious time and energy with a broom instead of going for a soothing hike in the Flatirons. Just hire Blue Spruce Maids, and we will clean your home from top to bottom so that you don’t have to lift a finger.

How to Save Money by Adjusting Your Thermostat Settings
It’s a rare day when we are not interested in finding additional ways to save money. From clipping coupons and buying generic home goods to curbing shopping sprees and holding off on that luxurious vacation, there is always a way that we can cinch up our belts and squeeze a little more savings out of our daily lives. But, not all attempts to save money and pinch pennies have to be so difficult. With a little bit of finagling we can curb the exodus of our cash just by making a few adjustments around the house.
A household’s heating and cooling charges are often the largest portion of your monthly utility bill. By making small adjustments to lower your usage while you are asleep, at work, or away on vacation, you can keep all the benefits of a comfortable home while saving some cash in the process.
Programmable thermostats are a great way to automatically adjust your home’s heating and air-conditioning throughout the day. By implementing a schedule that lowers the heat or air conditioning during specific hours, you can remain comfortable and still preserve the bulk of your paycheck.
There are many types of programmable thermostats on the market. Some are digital, some are eletromechanical, and others are a combination of both. Digital thermostats often provide the broadest array of options, but can be complicated to operate. For best results, find a thermostat that is straightforward in its operation and allows you the opportunity to get the most out of your home climate management.
In addition, be sure to locate your thermostat in an open area. Install your thermostat in a location where it is away from direct sunlight, drafts, windows, large obstructive furniture, or any other impositions that might throw off the reading.
Utility Bill Savings
Doing a self-check is also a great means by which to manage your utility bill. During the winter, are you ripping off your sweater the second you walk in the door? Alternatively, are you keeping your home as chilly as a supermarket frozen section during the summer?
For the most efficient energy-savings, the recommended setting for a thermostat is 78 degrees. You can achieve even greater savings by making further adjustments depending on the time of day or season of the year. For example, by simply dialing down your thermostat ten degrees for the eight hours you are asleep at night, you can save up to 15% on your heating bill. During the summer, you can save approximately six to eight percent off your home energy bill for every degree you raise your temperature above this recommended set point. This rule of thumb can be inversely applied to those colder months. In the winter, lowering your thermostat by 10 to 15 degrees for at least eight hours a day can help you reduce your energy bill by five to 15 percent. If the cold is too much to bear, consider increasing the humidity of your home’s environment to assist in providing a sense of warmth. Or don extra clothes, pull out those blankets, and check all your windows and doors for drafts.
By simply lowering your air conditioning during hours you are not at home or not awake, you can cash in big on savings.
With just a few changes to your home’s thermostat, you can shave a significant amount of money off of your utility bill, all without having to sacrifice your comfort.

“ Life has evils worse and more humiliating to face than poverty," was the calm reply.
“Oh! it has, ah! well, you'll know them practically when you go out governessing on 201. per annum. That's before you when the breath leaves my body. Your father, saucy and audacious man, can't support you. Of that, I presume, you feel by this time assured ?"
“He cannot, I know it well.” “ And you used to express a desire to be able to lighten his burdens ?»
“I did wish, I do still wish-Heaven knows how earnestly-to help him. It has been the cherished aim of my life.”
“ You'll be able to manage it when you're in service! Ha! ha! ha! Miss Ossulton, whom the young men used to flatter and flutter around as Mrs. Dunsterville's heiress, going out as a governess on some 201. a year. What an agreeable reverse of fortune!”
And the ailing woman laughed hideously and repeatedly.
The younger lady listened with a flushed cheek and tearful eye, but in silence. Another peal of mocking laughter was heard from the invalid's couch. As it ceased, a low and gentle voice said, Aunt, hear me. You know I have never harassed
with repeated requests, but now I urge one most anxiously, most earnestly. Deal with me as you please, but remember in this solemn hour my father. He has had many trials, many struggles, much to brave and much to bear. His character is blameless, that I can assert fearlessly. Leave me penniless, if you will, but I implore you to bequeath to him some small bequest, some trifling annuity, not so much to cheer and help him as to testify your frank forgiveness and good-will."
“You'll be clever if you get me into that mind,” said the old lady, shifting her cushions. Her young relative persevered.
Aunt,” said she, “you are rapidly hastening where forgiveness of injuries is indispensable.'
“ Don't pretend, girl, to teach me my duty, mind your own. Your father deeply offended me; I said I never would forgive him, and I
" True ; but listen"
“No, I will listen to nothing further on that point.” Then with a bitter expletive, frightful at that hour and from a woman's lip, she added, 6 Into this house that man shall never enter, nor one sixpence of my money shall he ever have. Such is iny fixed resolution, and I defy what is under the earth or above the earth to rule it otherwise."
Shocked and terrified, the listener retreated and buried her face in her hands.
A light step was now heard outside the door, and in a subdued tone a voice whispered,
“ Mr. Haldimand, ma'am, the lawyer, is below, and waits your pleasure."
“Show him into the dining-room, and say I'll see him almost immediately."
The light step retreated.
“Quite heroical! a sensible choice, and most deliberately made. But, understand me, while I withhold I also give."
The niece looked up, timidly, in evident doubt as to the speaker's intentions.
“ You don't catch my meaning, eh? I'll explain it. Your expectances by my will I take away, and in lieu of them bestow my curse.
“ No, no !” shrieked her auditor, quickly and almost wildly. cannot be serious ; for mercy's sake speak not thus, and now !"
“But I will speak, and you shall hear. To you, Fanny, I have been all but in name a mother. Every kindness, every indulgence, every vigilance which a mother could bestow I have shown ; nothing has been grudged, nothing has been withheld that could make you happy. And now, ungrateful girl, my dying curse shall follow you—"
“Stay! stay!" interrupted the shrinking Fanny; and as she spoke she threw herself before her strange benefactress, and grasped, convulsively, her hand; “ Cease, cease these frightful threats. I'll make any promise you ask-take any
oath you require-do any thing—but oh ! curse me not-curse me not, I implore you.”
“ Then do, and at once, my bidding. Write on that sheet of paper the words I now dictate.”
The niece--pale and tearless - obeyed almost mechanically; so thoroughly had anguish and apprehension possessed her. 6 Show me what
have written." The victim handed to her tormentor the revengeful and revolting document. The latter read it over thrice, and thoughtfully weighed each expression. Returning it to her grave and dejected relative, the old lady observed,
“Yes; that's my meaning. I must now endeavour to make your promise binding. First of all, sign it. Good! Now bring me that New Testament which is lying on my toilette-table. Hold it in your right hand, and take an oath, as they do in courts of justice, in my presence, on that book, to abide by what you have in that paper written.'
Miss Ossulton did so.
“ There-nothing can be better-that's just as it should be! and now I'm ready for Mr. Haldimand—let me see him at once.”
The party thus summoned was an upright and honourable man, who took, with commendable care and precision, Mrs. Dunsterville's instructions, and more than once reminded her of the position of some who he thought had claims upon her. To these she turned a deaf ear. Miss Ossulton's rights she regarded as paramount; and a will was drawn up, conveying to that lady, absolutely, the bulk of her relative's property.
Fatigue, exertion, and emotion, were now telling fearfully upon the sufferer. She was evidently worse ; and after considerable hesitation, she was asked whether she would like to see a clergyman. She replied in the affirmative, named one, and begged that that party might be summoned without delay. He came.
She told him that she was arranging her affairs ; that the exertion incident upon such a task had aggravated her complaint ; that she believed her life was “beyond insuring,” and that therefore she had wished to see him.
“ You are rich,” was the ecclesiastic's reply, “your are childless; you have no near relatives. Be merciful in the closing act of your life. Show, in the final disposition of your property, a kindly and compassionate spirit. Remember the poor.' She looked with an air of surprise.
Why, upon earth, am I to do that? Remember them! Out upon
it! They have often remembered me, and impudently enough in all conscience! They hooted me at Yelland! Upon one occasion I got into trouble; and-yes—they actually hooted me.”
Requite evil with good,” said the clergyman, mildly. “ No-I'm not likely to do that. Nor would you, if you were my weight and size, and had had to run for dear life as the brutes made me do. Remember the poor, quotha ? They're an improvident, saucy, good-fornothing set- two-thirds of 'em are hypocrites, and the remainder drunkards. I hate the everlasting cant about the poor-it's nauseous. Let others remember them,” said she, stoutly, “ I won't.”
“But the conduct you allude to, though indefensible, was probably accidental--not deliberate-thus regard it; and--forgive it."
“ I'm none of your forgiving sort. That girl's father,”—pointing to Miss Ossulton, “ offended me. I've never forgiven him ; and won't. He didn't frequent this house in my life time : he shan't enter it after I'm gone! The woman next door exasperated me when I lived at Yelland. We'd a dispute about a pew. I don't know but what we'd a bit of a sly tussle in church. I never forgave her, and never will.”
“Heaven is barred to the unforgiving : have you considered this ?” asked the astonished visitor.
“ Ah, well! I'm tired and in pain : and I'm exhausted, and sad ; I can listen to nothing further at present; will you repeat your visit tomorrow ?”
The wondering Churchman took his leave. As he lingered for a brief space in the breakfast-room below, he asked a loiterer, “ Was this lady's property hers by inheritance ?"
« Oh! no," was the ready reply. " She filled a subordinate station in the household of the late Mr. Dunsterville. He was her senior in years, and required a good deal of attendance. She played her cards adroitly; and was amply rewarded. He married her, and at his death left her all he had. A lady bred and born she can scarcely be considered.”
“Ah!" said the Churchman, “ that explanation solves a riddle."
Further interviews took place, but with no result. The clergyman was understood to have returned to his former topics, and to have pressed them anew and earnestly on the attention of the departing lady. But in vain. She would leave no benefaction, however trivial, to the poor, nor concede the slightest token of forgiveness to her delinquent kinsman.
She died as she had lived, stern, exacting, and unforgiving.
They buried her at Yelland. The funeral array was costly ; but among those who followed her to the tomb it would have been difficult to point to one saddened spectator. Her will was produced and read. The
necessary forms were gone through, and Miss Ossulton was declared sole heiress to her kinswoman's entire property.
To effect the transfer, occupied some little time. But the day at length arrived when all the forms were completed, and all the requisite documents signed ; and then Miss Ossulton was actual possessor of the ample means
bequeathed to her. She had taken a final leave of her man of business, and had received his congratulations on the last signature being given, and the last outstanding claim arranged.
She was, in truth, owner of all that Mrs. Dunsterville had possessed. Her spirits, naturally joyous, rose at her escape from business details,
To no purpose.
which she never liked, and for which she was unfitted. She had described it in the morning as an eventful day for her!" It was so in a sense she little anticipated.
With a light heart she returned home to an early tea. Her attendants heard her dancing, and singing, apparently in high spirits, and looking forward to a bright and happy future. On a sudden there was à pause-a faint
scream, and a dull, heavy fall. The housemaid rushed into the sitting-room. There lay
mistress senseless and partially convulsed
the floor. She raised her and applied restoratives.
Miss Ossulton gasped once or twice, feebly, and expired.
An inquest was held—a verdict returned, “ Died from natural causes,” and the young girl was buried.
Who was her heir ? No will could be found. No document of a testamentary nature was forthcoming. She had died intestate. Who was her successor ? Her father. And consequently Mrs. Dunsterville's entire property became his property.
To that headstrong and wayward woman it seemed never to occur that her niece was mortal ; might die childless and intestate. For such a contingency her will --so decidedly worded-made no provision. One feeling animated her-revenge. She aimed at carrying it out beyond the grave. Her resolve was to punish her kinsman even when she was in her coffin. But the fiat of a higher power mastered hers. The party to whom she left her property never enjoyed it, and the being whom she resolved on barring from any share of it came into its full and prompt undisturbed possession.
A few weeks passed, and in the large and well-plenished abode of Mrs. Dunsterville presided as owner, Mr. Ossulton, owner of that house which
was never to enter !” Of her income he was master, to save or squander as he pleased—that income for which she vowed he “should never be one sixpence the better!" There he stood giving orders in her pleasure-garden-trimming coolly and carefully her favourite rubus which stood near the gate--that tempting rubus on which the little street boys would lay their marauding fingers—which had brought her into so many squabbles—and anent which Mrs. Dunsterville had so often assured some audacious spoliator that if she “ lived to see the morning light, she would most assuredly have him up before the mayor, and transport him beyond seas for the rest of his days. She could do it, and she would !”
Poor Mrs. Dunsterville! Had she been a crowned head, what a matchless despot she would have made!
And no one missed her, save the street urchins. Every thing under the new régime looked much as usual. Even the
parrot—the favourite parrot—" the only human being on this wide earth” (as her late mistress used most unaccountably to phrase it), “the only human being on this wide earth who really loved and esteemed her!” shrieked, and sang,
and laughed, and whistled in her cage, and occasionally screamed out as of old, “ Poor Mrs. Dunsterville !-ah! poor dear Mrs. Dunsterville ! poor lady !-poor lady!-oh! oh! oh!"
Oh! Polly! Polly! you may well repeat your lesson, and dwell upon the theme! If your late mistress could have looked up out of her costly coffin and seen who was "reigning in her stead”—could have witnessed
Sept.-VOL. LXXXI. NO. CCCXXI.
who was laying down the law in her house, and turning over her valuables, and routing out her repositories-could have seen who was pruning her shrubs and transplanting her flowers—could have observed who was drinking her wine and taking an airing in her carriage. Scream, Polly, scream by all means.
There is meaning in your phrase, “ Poor Mrs. Dunsterville!-poor Mrs. Dunsterville !"
Reader ! one parting word. Is it impertinent to assure you that this is no fictitious tale ? The will, thus over-ruled, was made. The characters thus portrayed, existed. She sentiments here recorded were deliberately avowed. The sudden death here described, actually occurred. Does not the narrative warn us how wretchedly they miscalculate who fancy that they can control and command events? Does it not remind us that the issues of every scheme, however cruelly planned or resolutely executed, rest alone with Him who is the Irresistible !
THE OLD MAN AND SPRING.
BY J. E. CARPENTER, ESQ.
The Earth is waken’d from a spell,
There's sunshine in the air ;
The primrose too, are there!
The hedge row's green again,
But the old man wends his weary way,
A vain regret for his own life's spring.
The roses are in bloom ;
Sheds forth a sweet perfume!
There's plenty in the land ;-
But the old man sighs for the days of yore;
A vain regret for his own life's spring.
The flow'rs are faded all!
Around the abbey wall!
Has made a mighty shroud;
And the old man sighs for the wintry day | <urn:uuid:e60a0b85-d86a-4e63-a977-c7280e71c726> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://books.google.es/books?pg=PA32&vq=%22like+sleep,+might+steal+on+me,+And+I+might+feel+in+the+warm+air+My+cheek+grow+cold,+and+hear%22&dq=editions:UOM39015027527400&id=lEUFAAAAQAAJ&hl=es&output=html_text | 2023-09-30T00:13:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00099.warc.gz | en | 0.979599 | 3,512 |

of; such as those who made that famous uproar, SERM. crying out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians: it seemed to thwart the common maxims of poli- Acts xix. cy, and dictates of worldly prudence; it could not but appear, to men prepossessed with admiration of secular wealth, power, and glory, a story most ridiculously extravagant, that so pitiful and wretched a person, as Jesus seemed in the eye of the world to have been, should in this miraculous way be declared the Son of God and Lord of all things, author of life and salvation to all men, sovereign object of all worship and obedience: such a story therefore it was not likely that any men in their senses should conspire to forge, should offer to obtrude on the world, so uncapable of it, so averse from embracing it; and being such, it were strange that by a general repulse it should not presently be stifled and quelled".
11. One would indeed think that this report, had it been false, might easily have been disproved and quashed they who were mightily concerned, and Acts v. 28. as eagerly disposed to confute it, wanted no means of doing it they were not surprised in the matter; but were forewarned of it, and did forebode it coming; they were not drowsy or neglectful, but very apprehensive, careful and cautious in preventing it, that it should not be produced, or, being so, that it might be defeated; for to this purpose they caused Matt. xxvii.
· Εἰ γὰρ καὶ τῶν πραγμάτων ἐκβεβηκότων — ὅμως εἰσί τινες μετὰ τοσαῦτα τεκμήρια, καὶ τῆς οἰκουμένης, ὡς εἰπεῖν, ἁπάσης τὴν μαρτυρίαν, οἱ δια πιστοῦσι τοῖς γεγενημένοις, καὶ πολλοὶ οὕτως ἀβασανίστως καὶ ἀνεξετάστως, τις ἂν παρὰ τὴν ἀρχὴν μήτε πράγματα θεασάμενος, μήτε ματυρίας ἀξιοπίστους τούτων ἔχων ταύτην ἂν τὴν πίστιν ἐδέξατο ψυχῇ. Chrys. tom. v. Or. 64.
Τίς οὕτως ἐμεμήνει τῶν ταῦτα ἀκουόντων ὡς ψιλοῖς ῥήμασι πιστεῦσαι περὶ πραγμάτων τοιούτων; Ibid.
18. v. 28.
SERM. the sepulchre of our Lord to be sealed up, and guardXXIX. ed by soldiers; that being masters of his body, they might by exhibiting it disprove any report that should be made about his resurrection: they had full opportunity of examining the matter to the bottom; it being fresh, and presently divulged after its being reported done; they having also all the power and authority on their side, in furtherance of the discussion of the business: we may accordingly suppose them very zealous, diligent, and active in thoroughly sifting it, and striving to detect the falsehood thereActs iv. 17, in: they did so certainly; and thereto they added strict prohibitions, fierce menaces, and bloody persecutions toward the suppression thereof; yet could they not with all their industry confute it, nor by all their fury quell it: Why? because it was not confutable; because truth, prosecuted with vigorous integrity and constancy, or rather supported by divine protection and blessing, is invincible. Put case there were now the like fact by so many people reported done within these two months, wherein the church and state were in like manner exceedingly concerned, and should therefore employ all their power and care to discover the truth, one would think it impossible, that, were it an imposture, it should escape detection, and being soon, with the general satisfaction of men, quite blown away and exploded this is the fate of all falsehood, standing merely upon its own legs, and not propped by worldly power; but truth, as in the present case, is able to subsist by its own strength, especially Heaven being concerned to aid it.
f Οὐδεμιᾶς γὰρ δεῖται βοηθείας ἡ τῆς ἀληθείας ἰσχὺς, ἀλλὰ κἂν μυρίους ἔχῃ τοὺς σβεννύντας αὐτὴν, οὐ μόνον οὐκ ἀφανίζεται, ἀλλὰ καὶ δι ̓ αὐτῶν
12. As also this testimony had no power to sus- SERM. tain it, so it used no sleight to convey itself into the persuasions of men; it did not creep in dark corners, it did not grow by clandestine whispers; it craved 1 Thess. v. no blind faith of men: but with a barefaced confidence it openly proclaimed itself, appealing to the common sense of men, and provoking the world to examine it; daring all adversaries here to confront it, defying all the powers beneath to withstand it; claiming only the patronage of heaven to maintain it.
13. Furthermore, the thing itself, had it been counterfeit, was in all probability apt to fall of itself; the witnesses clashing together, or relenting for their crime. That advice of Gamaliel had much reason in it; Refrain, said he, from those men, and Acts v. 38. let them alone; for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought; Kataλvlýσetα, it will of itself be dissolved or destroyed: for how indeed could it be, that among so many confederates in a juggle, not one, either checked by conscience, or daunted by hazards, or wearied and worn out by sufferings, should flinch and fall off, so as to detect the plot, disavow his fault, and retire from persecution, but that each one should persist steadfast in so high a strain of vile dissimulation? If one had fallen off, he had certainly spoiled all the plot, opened all men's eyes, and prevented the faith of any one person to the story: and what cement could firmly combine such a pack of men to God, and to all the world, that they should continue invincibly stiff in their faith to one another, and constantly true to so τῶν ἐπηρεάζειν ἐπιχειρούντων φαιδροτέρα καὶ ὑψηλοτέρα ἄνεισι, &c. Chrys. tom. v. Or. 64.
SERM. vain a design, good to no man, worst to themselves? XXIX. that, I say, twelve such persons, every one for a long time, during their whole life, should persevere immoveable in so extravagant a resolution of lying, so as by no regrets or dissatisfactions from within, no threats, no perils, no troubles or pains from without, to be ever driven out of it, but should die with it in their mouths, yea, rejoice and glory in dying for it; should dying carry it into the presence of God, and dare with it to appear at his judgment, is exceedingly strange and incredible: it must therefore surely be truth alone that could set them on this design, and could uphold them steady in it; so unanimous a consent, so clear a confidence, so firm a resolution, so insuperable a constancy and patience, nothing but a sense of truth could inspire men with, nothing but a perfectly good conscience could sustain. Possible it is, that in matters of speculation and subtilty men upon slender grounds may be peremptorily opinionative, and desperately pertinacious; (this experience sheweth :) but in a matter of this nature, (a matter of plain fact and gross sense,) none can well be imagined (none especially so qualified, in such circumstances, to such purposes can be imagined) to be so wretchedly stupid, or desperately obstinate.
14. He then who doubts of the sincerity of these witnesses, or rejects their testimony as incredible, must instead of it admit of divers stranger incredibilities; refusing his faith to one fact, devious from the natural course of things, but very feasible to God; he must thence allow it to many others, repugnant to the nature of man, and to the course of human things; performed without God, yea against him.
Is it credible, that persons otherwise through all SERM. their lives strictly blameless and rigidly virtuous, (even in the more heavenly parts of goodness, in humanity, meekness, peaceableness, humility, and patience,) should, against clearest dictates of conscience, peremptorily and perseveringly commit so palpable villainy, as to broach and propagate such an imposture; that they, all whose demeanours and discourses evidently did tend to the advancement of God's glory, and promoting goodness, should so in their hearts utterly defy God and detest goodness; or that persons in a strain incomparably solemn and serious should so plainly teach, so strongly press, so otherwise uniformly practise highest good-will and beneficence toward all men, while they were with all their mind and might striving to gull and abuse men? Is it conceivable, that men, otherwise in all their actions so wise and well advised, (able to manage and to perform so great matters,) should so zealously drive on a most vain and senseless project, with more unwearied industry labouring to maintain and disperse a lie, than any men beside did ever strive in behalf of truth? Is it not marvellous, that men in all respects so impotent, without any arms or aids, should adventure on so high an enterprise, should with so happy success achieve it; that naked weakness should boldly assault, and thoroughly overpower, the greatest might; pure simplicity should contest with and baffle sharpest wit, subtlest policy, and deepest learning; that rude speech (void of strength or ornament) should effectually persuade an uncouth and unpleasant tale, against all the finest and strongest rhetoric in the world?

Hounds Lose 5-4 to Depleted Kingston Club
With a Kingston team that was without 3 regular defensemen in Ben Roger, Alec Belanger, and Thomas Budnick, the Greyhounds would be looking to take advantage of this to stop their 4 game losing skid; but it was not to be.
The Hounds did play one of their better offensive games but turnovers bit them in the ass. Yes the Hounds battled back but one could argue that the battle was a result of a fatigued Frontenac’s club who played the night before, travelled, and had to move a forward to the blueline just to have 3 complete lines.
After allowing 2 goals on only 4 shots in the 1st period the writing was on the wall. For the Hounds to score 3 goals in a game would be a challenge as Mark Matier alluded to during the broadcast last night.
Although bright spots don’t win you games, there were a few. The Greyhounds did recognize the depleted lineup and peppered the Kingston goal with 48 shots and at the same time only allowing them 15 on our own. Bryce McConnell-Barker had another 10 shot game and KK had 5 from the blueline. I actually think Kirill had at least three opportunities to win the game for us late in the 3rd with the extra man but passed instead of unleashing when he was in the scoring lane.
All in all the Hounds battled from a 3-0, and a 4-1 deficit and tied the game at 4 with only a minute and some change left on the board.
In the OT the Hounds played decent and could have won the game during their power play but it was not to be.
Moving on to the shootout, I would politely question why Connor Toms was chosen to take the second shot ( no goal ) for the Hounds as 99.99 % of the time the forwards get exhausted before a defenseman gets called upon for this duty.
Anyway, BMB scored the first goal for the Hounds and the Kingston lineup scored on their two attempts to seal the win.
Scoring for the Hounds in the loss were BMB, Jordan D’Intino, Justin Cloutier, and Tyler Savard.
THOUGHTS & OBSERVATIONS
**Sophomore forward Landen Hookey needs to pick up his game in my opinion. The big 6 foot 4 inch (204lbs) kid has only 4 points in 19 games this year**
** I was at a loss as to why coach John Dean did not start Charlie Schenkel in net; this kid not only stopped all but 2 of 31 shots sent his way on Wednesday night, but he was also named the games first star. The answer may be just south of your eyes…..**
Kyle Raftis Interview May Speak Volumes
For a while now I have been at a loss as to the strategy employed by coach John Dean in reference to the two goalies; Charlie Schenkel and Samuel Ivanov.
I didn’t understand how he suddenly went from having Charlie Schenkel as a clear #1 to that being put in question over the past three weeks or so.
Charlie in my opinion has played excellent…..if not stellar hockey, for a team in front of him that has struggled this year.
All of a sudden with the great playing of this kid, he starts less games and most recently Samuel Ivanov started the three game road trip the Hounds just returned from.
When you have three games on the road and it starts and ends with Goalie A…..that is usually your #1….so what is going on here? I have no issues with Samuel Ivanov as he is a very very good goaltender but I couldn’t believe he started the trip when his counterpart had been playing his tail off. Anyway it is what it is and the answer may be in what Kyle Raftis had said or didn’t say last night.
Last night during the 2nd intermission Kyle was interviewed by Jim Fitzpatrick and the topic of recent big OHL trades (Othmann, Bloom, Pastujov, etc ) came up. Without regurgitating the whole interview….the takeaway for me was that when one big move is made…there is a domino effect; and other teams in the mix to fight for a title or championship may not want to be left in the dark so they start to assemble their pieces as well.
Recently I wrote that the Hounds are going to need to go out and get a seasoned goal scorer …and soon…if they want to make the playoffs and in addition to that….what do the Hounds have to offer besides draft picks as to not give away some key pieces to the puzzle they are working on, in order to be rewarded with hosting the 2024 Memorial Cup to which they have put down the dep$it to be considered for.
Anyway….I am sorry for being long winded but here is what I am thinking.
I think the extra starts Sammy Ivanov is getting may possibly be as a result that Raftis and Dean have come to a conclusion that it doesn’t make sense to have two really really good goaltenders when this team might not even make the playoffs.
One could be used in a trade to ..A… give that kid the ice time he deserves, and B….obtain a scoring forward this team desperately needs.
I am going out on a limb and my hunch is that one of these kids will be on the move soon. My gut suggests it will be Sammy.
Anyway, those are my thoughts on the matter and I will follow up next week on why the Hounds chances of hosting the Mem Cup are extremely low.
Tomorrow the Hounds host London and I will be 1000% shocked if Charlie doesn’t get the nod. The Hounds are 1-1 against London this year and Charlie in his win previously shutout the Knights 1-0 back in October. | <urn:uuid:0d7c0e3d-b523-4d12-ba55-07bfdd4e2bc8> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://bordercityrocktalk.ca/2022/11/19/hounds-lose-5th-straight-goalie-may-be-on-the-move/ | 2023-09-30T00:39:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00099.warc.gz | en | 0.981809 | 1,241 |

Dillian Whyte reveals to Sky Sports that there have been no talks between teams for a fight with Anthony Joshua, as he reviews the current “mess” in the heavyweight division.
Whyte gave a hard-hitting account of the obstacles and hold-ups in making the rematch with Joshua a reality. He didn’t shy away from expressing his irritation with the stagnation.
“It’s a big fight, it’s eight weeks away, and there’s no communication, nothing. It just doesn’t seem real,” Whyte snapped.
The heavyweight contender suggested that this frustrating delay is more of a crafty strategy than an organizational oversight. “They’re just wasting time messing about and trying to trick the people like they did a few years ago.” So, where does this leave us, the die-hard boxing fans? Are we mere spectators of a well-choreographed sham, waiting for a mega-fight that’s never intended to happen?
The Stagnant Heavyweight Division
Whyte did not hold back on his thoughts about Joshua’s team’s possible motives behind this foot-dragging. He speculates that Joshua is playing it safe and holding out for a potential $50 million payday against Deontay Wilder in December. Is this a legitimate career move, or are we witnessing cowardice draped in dollar signs?
Whyte delivered a damning verdict on the heavyweight division’s current state and the roles that Tyson Fury, Oleksandr Usyk, and Deontay Wilder play. According to him, the division has become a stale waiting game, where the heavy hitters make careful moves, keeping the division in a frustrating standstill.
“In Wilder’s head, he’s convinced he’s going to fight Joshua in December, so they’re doing the smart thing, they’re waiting,” Whyte quipped. Meanwhile, he believes Fury’s potential face-off with Francis Ngannou to be a proactive step, a bold move he commends.
A Demand for Fair Play
Whyte insists that the absence of a rematch with Joshua isn’t from his lack of will, but because of Joshua’s team’s failure to make what he considers a fair offer. He believes they’re deliberately lowballing him, revealing their lack of commitment to the fight.
“Eddie and Joshua need to put their socks up and just come with some realistic offers,” Whyte demanded.
Despite this drama, Whyte remains upbeat about the potential fight. He believes that with the right promotion and support, they could sell between 60,000 and 70,000 tickets.
“It’s a big fight. We would fill Wembley easily,” Whyte boasted. If so, why does the boxing business seem reluctant to cash in on this lucrative opportunity?
When the rematch eventually materializes, Whyte has a battle plan ready. He confessed that he was trying new techniques in their last fight, but this time, he plans to stick to his roots and bring the fight to Joshua.
“I’ll just go to war. I want to go to war because then I think that’s a good way to fight him, back him up. I’m strong enough, I’m big enough to do that,” he warned. | <urn:uuid:b7e36fca-8328-4dd1-9e51-65733b73031c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://boxingnews.co/dillian-whyte-fires-shots-at-anthony-joshuas-camp/ | 2023-09-29T23:57:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00099.warc.gz | en | 0.957431 | 726 |

Scent is one of the most underrated human senses – the human olfactory area is about 2.5 cm2 wide and contains around 50 million receptor cells. Scent takes a route into our brain that goes straight into the amygdala and hippocampus – which is why we get such powerful emotions and memories when we come across certain scents. Retailers and advertisers have been using scent as a powerful marketing tool for years – research has shown that scent marketing increases sales by 11% and customer satisfaction by 20%. But here’s how it could help to take your packaging to the next level and skyrocket your sales.
‘Nothing brings to life again a forgotten memory like fragrance’ – Christopher Poindexter
The statistics below from Reed Pacific Media show the power of scent and the impression it will make on your customers as well as the unlimited potential it gives for targeting new audiences.
‘Scent is the strongest tie to memory’ – Maggie Stiefvater
Scent is the only developed sense which a fetus has in the womb, and the one most developed in children up to the age of 10 before sight takes over – so it’s the one that we have used the most through our lives to distinguish our surroundings and connect our memories. In branding it can be used to give your business an edge over competitors by using a signature scent that will evoke an emotion and create positive memories for your customers. “In an age where it’s becoming more and more difficult to stand out in a crowded market, you must differentiate your brand emotionally and memorably,” they wrote. “Think about your brand in a new way by considering how scent can play a role in making a more powerful impression on your customers.”
‘A fragrance is like a signature’ – Oscar De La Renta
Known as a scent logo – a definitive brand scent can help to create a lasting impression on your customers and highlight your product on the shelves, taking the focus off your competitors and onto your product. Scented packaging is a great way to do this, whether you decide to customize each product’s packaging or do a blanket brand scent. The global fragrance packaging market is expected to reach USD 15,776.78 million by 2027, this is definitely a trend to try.
‘Our sense of smell is so fundamental to our lives. It triggers childhood memories, reminds us of relationships, our desires, our nearly forgotten dreams and can help us create and capture those perfect moments in time.’ – Sarah Horowitz
So how do you actually get scented packaging? New technology (scented aqueous coating) allows you to implant scent inline directly onto the packaging – this cuts down expenses and means it’s a quicker drying process, there are also less components in the packaging. Making a scent that reflects your brand’s colors and typography, as well as the general aesthetic will create a strong impact on your customers that leaves a lasting impression. As well as adding this to your in-store packaging, scented packaging will add another dimension to the unboxing experience for your e-commerce customers. Imagine opening that box and getting a delicious waft of a carefully crafted scent that instantly connects you to your brand.

Get in touch with the team at BPAK to find out how it can transform your brand and improve your customer satisfaction. | <urn:uuid:6571ae4b-f309-4d16-ac1f-6a44bb0fbd68> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://bpak.com/scented-packaging/ | 2023-09-30T00:54:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00099.warc.gz | en | 0.933942 | 706 |
On Thursday 18 August, after weeks of playing Connect 4, we had the Hanly Connect 4 Championships. The finals had representatives that won their respective AWC tournament from our 9 AWC groups. The tournament began with over 200 participants. The stakes were high and the nerves were racing as each of the nine finalists tried to prevent their hands from shaking as they placed their turn. The tournament was live streamed via Zoom to all of the Hanly AWC rooms with plenty of encouragement coming through the speakers for their representatives. Students couldn't resist the viewing with many making their way to room 06F to watch it play out in the flesh. It was quite the atmosphere!
The final came down to two Year 7 students, Matilda Burrett from AWC4 vs Edward Rankin of AWC9. It was an epic encounter with each Year 7 student not having lost a game along the way to the final. Edward was our eventual winner and crowned the Hanly Champion!
Well done to everyone and thank you to the Hanly teachers for helping facilitate the tournament. It was really great to see our house spirit shine. Edward will now progress onto the school championships, versus the winner of the other three houses.

We are sad to report that Melinda Dillon, the beloved actress who warned Ralphie he’d shoot his eye out in the classic holiday movie A Christmas Story, has passed away at the age of 83. Dillon was an Oscar-nominated actress, as well as a Broadway star, with a career that spanned over four decades. She was a beloved figure in the entertainment industry, and her passing will be mourned by many.
Dillon was born in Hope, Arkansas in 1939. She moved to Chicago as a teenager and worked as an improv comedy club’s first-ever coat-check girl. After studying acting in college, she moved to New York and made her Broadway debut in the original 1963 production of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, earning a Tony nomination for her performance as Honey. Dillon starred in her first film, The April Fools, in 1969 and went on to receive a Golden Globe nomination for her role in the 1976 Woody Guthrie biopic Bound for Glory.
Her most memorable role was as Ralphie’s mom in A Christmas Story, and she also had memorable roles in Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Absence of Malice. Other notable film and TV credits include Magnolia, The Muppet Movie, Harry and the Hendersons, Slap Shot, Sioux City, and To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar. She retired from acting in 2007.
Dillon married actor Richard Libertini, whom she met at the Second City; the pair divorced in 1978. She is survived by their son, Richard Libertini Jr. Her family members told Giant Freakin Robot that she had requested to be cremated with her ashes scattered into the Pacific Ocean.
We will miss Melinda Dillon, and her memory will live on in the classic films she starred in. Her spirit and talent will be remembered for years to come. | <urn:uuid:ce37827a-dfb7-4a70-892b-a0862b960051> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://bradad.com/2023/02/04/actress-melinda-dillon-best-known-as-a-christmas-story-mom-has-died-at-age-83/ | 2023-09-29T22:50:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00099.warc.gz | en | 0.977411 | 400 |

Attention all alumni of North Cobb High School and Kennesaw Mountain High School — show your spirit, support your high school – plan on attending the Chick Fil A Civil War Classic to be played at KSU’s Fifth Third Bank Stadium, September 20. This will be the first ever football game will be played in the stadium and we have a chance to sell this out. Kick-off is 7:30.
Tickets are $7 each and are available at North Cobb High School or Kennesaw Mountain High School (at the admin office) or at Chick-fil-A at Acworth/Hwy 41 and the Chick-fil-A at Brookstone location, the Fifth/Third Bank stadium ticket box office, and also online at www.ticketalternative.com . Tickets will be available the night of the game at the gate for $10.00 each.
The stadium seats 8000 – the Bright Side knows there are at least 8,000 alumni from the two schools living within shouting distance of the stadium. Show your spirit, fill the seats and root for your home team.
Kennesaw Mayor Mark Matthews, a North Cobb High School graduate, pitched the idea to Dr. Phillip Page, principal of NCHS and Dr. Kevin Daniel, principal of KMHS over the summer. Both were so excited at the idea of bringing the entire community together in a venue that they are fortunate to have in their own backyard. “The Civil War Classic at KSU is a great opportunity to not only showcase two local football programs but two school communities that call the Kennesaw area home.
The Civil War Classic couldn’t be a reality without the many volunteers and corporate sponsors it takes to make it happen. In addition to Chick-fil-A’s support since the rivalry began, special thanks go out to Superior Plumbing and LGE Community Credit Union for their support as Gold Level sponsors. “This is my favorite event of the year. No matter the record, people show up to support the kids and community at this game. It is always a fun night” says Chick-fil-A of Acworth and Brookstone Operator, Andy Duncan.

FLEAS AND TICKS
Ticks appear in South Dakota, as a rule, around the middle of March. When snow is on the ground, as is the case this year, their development is delayed. The Federal Center for Disease Control says that in the U.S., tick-borne diseases are up 30% this year. Ticks crawl up from the ground or drop down from trees.
There are several effective preventive treatments—tablets, spot-on’s, and even an 8-month collar. As the weather warms, ticks are somewhat discouraged—often becoming scarce around the first of July. However, the flea seems to take up the slack and come to town just at that very time. | <urn:uuid:a19fe0f4-8637-44bc-8a55-55557ae34dbc> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://brookingsanimalclinic.com/fleas-and-ticks/ | 2023-09-30T00:02:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00099.warc.gz | en | 0.98263 | 149 |
During the 1970s, I attended Midwestern Baptist College in Pontiac, Michigan. It was there that I met my wife, Polly. Started in the 1950s by Dr. Tom Malone, Midwestern was a school known for turning out preachers. Most women attending Midwestern were there to snag themselves a man. My wife was no exception. She believed she was called to be a pastor’s wife. I was studying to be a pastor, so I suppose you could say our divine callings matched and our marriage was made in Heaven — or something like that, anyway. (We celebrated forty-four years of marriage last July.) All we knew for sure was that God called us to build churches and evangelize the lost. Everything we were taught at Midwestern had these two things as their goal. We left Midwestern in 1979 and embarked on a twenty-five-year journey that took us to churches in Ohio, Texas, and Michigan. Virtually everything we did was in fulfillment of God’s call upon our lives, yet, today, we are no longer Christians and it has been more than fourteen years since we darkened the doors of a church. What happened to us?
I cannot and will not speak for Polly, but I can say, for myself, that the Christian narrative no longer makes sense to me. I wrote about this in a post titled, The Michael Mock Rule: It Just Doesn’t Make Sense. Most readers know my story, so I won’t retell it here. New readers are encouraged to read the posts found on the WHY? page for more information about my life as a pastor and my subsequent deconversion. My story has been deconstructed by countless Evangelical zealots determined to invalidate my past. Try as they might, the fact remains that I once was a committed, devoted, sold-out follower of Jesus Christ; a man who hungered and thirsted after righteousness for his name’s sake; a man who believed every word of the Bible was true; a man who preached the Christian gospel to countless people. Them there are the facts, regardless of what apologists might say. I know what I know because I was there when it happened. Who better to know and tell my story than me? That said, I do ponder the question, Why am I Different From the My College Classmates? Some of them have moved beyond the Independent Fundamentalist Baptist (IFB) training they received at Midwestern, yet they still believe. Sadly, for most of my college classmates, their beliefs have changed very little, if at all. Many of them still attend or pastor IFB churches. Oh, they might agree with me about the crazy rules at Midwestern, (please see Thou Shalt Not Touch: The Six-Inch Rule) but their core theological beliefs are decidedly Fundamentalist. (Please see Are Evangelicals Fundamentalists?) Why do they still hang on to these beliefs and I don’t?
The easy answer would be to call all of them stupid hillbillies, but that would be a cop-out. Many of my former classmates have wonderful families and ministerial careers. According to the theological and social standards of IFB Christianity, they are, in every way, successful. I have no doubt that many or even most of them are true-blue believers, completely and totally committed to IFB doctrine, thinking, and way of life. Yes, some of them now consider themselves garden-variety Evangelicals, but most of my classmates still believe the fundamentals taught to them by their pastors and their professors at Midwestern.
If I had to pick one reason for why my former classmates still believe, it is because they were taught to never, ever doubt the Bible and its teachings. All of them believe in some form of Biblical inerrancy, so the foundation of their lives is THUS SAITH THE LORD. Insulated from contrary or challenging thoughts, they see no reason to question their beliefs. Souls are lost, Hell is hot, and Jesus is coming soon. They have no time for doubting or questioning their beliefs. When Jesus comes again, they want to be found faithfully serving him, not reading Bart Ehrman’s latest book. For me, however, I reached a place in the late 1980s where I seriously questioned the doctrines I had been taught at Midwestern. I ultimately abandoned them and embraced Evangelical Calvinism. Calvinism allowed me to study theology and read books outside of the IFB rut. While the Calvinists I associated with were still quite Fundamentalist theologically and socially, they valued education and intellectual pursuit. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your perspective), the more I studied and read, the more questions and doubts I had. This is why people who knew me well told me that BOOKS were my problem, and what I needed to do is stop reading books and only read the Bible. Of course, saying this to a book lover is akin to telling a cocaine addict to stop using drugs. I was addicted to intellectual pursuit, and I doggedly followed the path until it led me out of Evangelicalism, out of the Emergent church, out of progressive Christianity, and right on down the slippery slope to agnosticism/atheism and humanism. I ended up where I am today because I couldn’t stop my questions and doubts. I ended up where I am today because Christianity had no satisfactory answers for my questions. Oh, they had “answers” but I found them to be hollow, circular, and, at times, farcical; answers that might placate those within the Evangelical bubble, but unsatisfactory to anyone on the outside looking in.
There are days when I wish I could be like my former college classmates. I see much in their lives I admire. However, I am unwilling to forsake the meat and potatoes of intellectual and scientific inquiry for the pottage of Evangelical Christianity. I have read and studied too much to go back to the garlic and leeks of Egypt. I would rather be known as a Midwestern Baptist College-trained atheist than a coward who couldn’t face doubts and questions head-on. “One” may truly be the loneliest number, but I would rather stand alone for truth than embrace theological dogma. If Midwestern and Dr. Tom Malone taught me anything, it was the importance of standing for truth and principle and being willing to hold to your beliefs and convictions no matter what. So, in that regard, Midwestern played a crucial part in my deconversion from Christianity.

If you’re a digital marketing veteran, you already know about search engine optimization (SEO) and how it can attract more traffic to your site—even if you’re not well versed in the specific tactics necessary to get there. However, most people think of SEO in only one dimension—as it applies to Google web search.
For the most part, it makes sense—Google has long been the dominant search engine in the online world, and continues to hold on to its two-thirds majority of searchers. However, if your main goal isn’t directing people to a website, it won’t be enough to help you.
For example, if your main source of revenue is a mobile app, you’ll want as many people as possible to download it—and while Google does offer some search features that allow mobile apps to show up in search engine results pages, the primary way for your app to be discovered will be through app stores, such as those offered by Apple and Google.
App store SEO is the process of making your app rank higher in search results within these app stores for relevant keyword searches, and making sure your app is considered relevant for the right searches.
As you can imagine, it’s a technical and complicated topic, but this article will introduce you to the basics of app store SEO. | <urn:uuid:a772e341-b799-4ebb-aa8b-df770f308b6c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://buildthecloud.com/get-started-app-store-seo/ | 2023-09-29T23:23:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00099.warc.gz | en | 0.948158 | 278 |
The new features are designed to help organizations create, clone and manage virtual ” on Gcoogle’s cloud platform.
Google’s Compute Engine cloud platform unit has introduced new management features that the company says makes it easier for enterprises to create, clone and manage VMs.
One of the updates to Google Compute Engine’s so-called “instance templates” allows organizations to create virtual machine instances from existing templates. Organizations can use the capability to create VMs that are identical to the template or to modify it for specific uses.
The management update also allows organizations to also save the configuration of an existing VM instance to create a new template.
An instance template on Google’s cloud is basically an API that organizations can use to define the specific properties of a VM like such as operating system type, disk configuration and machine type.
The updates give organizations more flexibility in creating and managing VM instances, said Sophia Yang, a Google product manager in a Feb. 22 blog.
“Imagine you’re running a VM instance as part of your web-based application, and are moving from development to production,” Yang said. “You can now configure your instance exactly the way you want it and then save your golden [configuration] as an instance template,” then can then be used to create other VMs.
Another update is designed to enable easier configuration of multiple data disks or application disks for a virtual machine instance. According to Yang, enterprises can now set up multiple persistent disks as part of the workflow for creating virtual machine instances. The feature is useful for organizations that want to create data disks that are separate from the operating system disk, she said.
A third update gives organizations a way to more easily create an image of a virtual machine instance even if it is running. Cloud administrators that want to create an image of a VM for backup, sharing or cloning can now do that without having to disrupt any of the services that are running on that machine Yang said.
The final management feature update provides a safeguard against accidental deletion of VM images. Accidents can happen occasionally and an administrator might end up interrupting important services by accidentally deleting a VM instance.
Administrators can now protect against this threat by setting a flag that warns against actions that could result in accidental deletion. The capability is especially important for VM instances that are running critical applications and workloads, Yang said.
All of the features are available now for Google cloud customers, though some are still in beta test mode.
The management updates are the second from Google this month aimed at providing more options for enterprises running workloads in the cloud. On Feb. 14 Google announced the availability of new high-performance VM configurations optimized to run on Intel Xeon Skylake-powered Google cloud servers.
The highest-end configuration now supports 96 virtual CPUs and 624 GB of memory and is designed for high-performance computing workloads. | <urn:uuid:d2caf11d-1646-49dd-9bee-e339a0a13f9b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://buildthecloud.com/google-says-new-cloud-updates-simplify-vm-management/ | 2023-09-29T23:39:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00099.warc.gz | en | 0.894577 | 612 |

Over the past two decades, empirical legal studies (ELS) has become an increasingly hot research and teaching field in law schools. ELS involves the use of data and statistics to analyze and understand the law, predict judicial behavior, and explore the interactions of law and economics. With its deep connection to the social sciences, ELS thus requires a very different set of skills and competencies from the strongly humanistic orientation of traditional legal studies.
But as empirical analysis becomes increasingly relevant to the study and practice of law, legal information professionals in all settings can benefit from a basic familiarity with the field and with the types of questions to which it applies.
This short piece is designed to provide law librarians who have no previous experience with ELS with a lay of the land and some of the basic resources for newcomers to the field. It is based on my work as a practicum student at the University of Chicago’s D’Angelo Law Library, where I worked on creating finding aids and research guides for ELS research.
ELS adds the statistician’s tools to the traditional methods of legal instruction such as casebooks and the Socratic method. Leading researchers in this field give us new ways to understand and predict legal outcomes. For instance, a great deal of research has been done predicting federal judges’ behavior based on the political party of their appointing president. This research can, for instance, show if judges are more or less likely to vote “with their party” if they are sitting on panels with judges who share the same party.
One of the most interesting pieces of research I found explored divorce and personal injury litigation in Japan. After a lengthy statistical examination, the author concluded that income and education levels had little impact on the rate of divorce and personal injury trials. Rather, the one solid predictor of how likely a divorce or traffic accident case is to go to trial is the number of lawyers in the community!
Just as in many other fields (from baseball to chess to poker to the stock market to election prediction), the data revolution is replacing or supplementing decision making based on hunches and intuition with hard evidence. This can be valuable to practitioners as well as to legal academics, particularly in complex and costly litigation.
To get started with empirical legal studies, I would recommend checking out the Society for Empirical Legal Studies. The Society sponsors a journal, blog, and annual conference. | <urn:uuid:0af8bcf3-7ae2-40f1-a76c-38d9be7463ca> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://bulletin.chicagolawlib.org/2014/12/empirical-legal-studies-a-brief-overview/ | 2023-09-29T22:28:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00099.warc.gz | en | 0.959885 | 489 |
Distraction Free Writing Gnu StyleWritten by Bunkers on February 23, 2017
Yesterday I wrote about my plan to form habits from writing on this blog as well as working on my list of things to make this year. As a result I did two things:
- Signed up to Jeff Goins' 500 Word Challenge
- Geeked out creating an environment and workflow for doing some focused writing
I'm not sure what to expect from the challenge. There's writing prompts sent each day. These will be useful as inspiration for ideas, but I'm starting by documenting the process I took to setup my writing environment.
As an aside, I've also been getting up at 5am each morning. I'll probably write more about that another time, but this morning I was almost excited to get out of bed. Generally it hasn't felt too much like a chore to get up and start work early, but today was noticeably different. It comes from having worked on something interesting yesterday. It created some excitement in me to start using it. I know you should never concentrate on the tools when doing something like this, but in this instance it served a great purpose. It got me fired up to start the writing challenge, and fulfilled my goal of working on making something each day.
Turning to the Dark Side
For a long time my main text editor has been Vim, and I still use it extensively, especially when configuring servers. Recently however, I did the unthinkable. I've been learning to program with Clojure (a dialect of Lisp) and the dominant editor for Lisp developers is Emacs. After wrangling with Vim for a while I just couldn't get a setup I liked. Where I work the main message is to try different things to see what happens, so I took the plunge and switched to Emacs!
To begin with I was just using it as a development environment for Clojure, but I've now started using it as the default for any kind of text editing. The virtues of writing in a distraction free environment gets talked about all the time. Most recently I heard Jeff Goins talk about how he uses Byword for it's simplicity and Markdown support. There's even a move to get back to using typewriter-like tools such as Freewrite
It made me think that a text editor like Emacs provides as close to a distraction free environment as you can get. As I'm using it for all my other text editing, why not set it up for writing these blog posts?
Anyone using Emacs quickly ends up customising it. There's a well established ecosystem of packages to do everything you can imagine with it. A search online will normally bring up other snippets of code that allow you to tweak settings like keybindings, and really bend Emacs to your will.
If you're following along and haven't already, setup Melpa for Emacs package requirements. You simply put in a package name as a requirement and the next time Emacs starts it will download the new package and make it available.
Before I start yet another Vim flame war. I'm not saying Vim can or can't do anything Emacs does. I still love Vim and toy with the idea of swapping back, or turning on Evil mode in Emacs, from time to time. They're both great editors, and that's the end of it in my view!
So, the requirements I had for setting up Emacs were:
- Support for Markdown - both syntax highlighting and previewing
- Text wrapping - Markdown uses line breaks to denote paragraphs, so it would be good to have long lines formatted by wrapping but without inserting any line breaks.
- Spellchecking - A must, especially when writing at 5am
- Grammar/writing style check - I'm trying to apply the rules from Hemingway App, and wanted something similar in my editor without having to copy and paste to the website
As I said the Emacs ecosystem is enormous and there's a number of ways to fulfil theses requirements, but these are the solutions I've used.
Support for Markdown
As a plain text editor, having support for Markdown means I can add a small amount of structure as I go without getting distracted by formatting toolbars or other presentation options. I have also come across Org mode, but decided that was a new thing too far! I may come back to it later.
The two packages I'm using for Markdown are
markdown-preview-mode. Both of these are reliant on a Markdown command being available for processing on your machine. I'm on a Mac so I use Homebrew for installation of tools like these. My Markdown tool is
multimarkdown installed via Homebrew with the command:
brew install multimarkdown
To set this as the markdown command in Emacs a variable is set in your
(setq markdown-command "multimarkdown")
markdown-preview-mode then worked out of the box, but I found the default styling horrendous. Thankfully there's limitless Markdown stylesheets online. I found a nice selection at https://markdowncss.github.io/ Once you've found a theme you like it's a case of setting another variable
(setq markdown-preview-stylesheets (list "http://markdowncss.github.io/splendor/css/splendor.css"))
This is hot-linking online of course, so I'll change this to be on my local machine at some point. I also had trouble getting it to use stylesheets I found when linking to raw GitHub repository files. I think this may have something to do with https, but I've left that for another day too.
Emacs has this well covered. On my high resolution display with the window maximised I don't want the lines of text stretching across. However I do want this when I'm programming. Luckily you can turn on
visual-line-mode for wrapping text at word breaks, and a package called
visual-fill-column to cause the wrapping to happen at a defined column. The default is 80. To get these modes only in Markdown files I use a hook:
(defun my-gfm-mode-hook () (visual-line-mode 1) (global-visual-fill-column-mode) ) (add-hook 'gfm-mode-hook 'my-gfm-mode-hook) (add-hook 'markdown-mode-hook 'my-gfm-mode-hook)
I'm not certain that I need both hooks, but so far it hasn't done any harm so it's staying.
For this one I'm using the well regarded Flyspell. Related packages are available on Melpa, but I installed it using the procedure outlined on the site. It's straightforward and involves downloading the
flyspell.el file, before autoloading it in your
ispell installed or in my case
aspell, which is a compatible tool available for install via Homebrew. To get the available dictionaries, run
brew options aspell
Don't make the same mistake as me and think that 'uk' is British English! You can install all variants of English with

The variant selected depends on your system's default locale. You can also swap dictionaries as required from within Emacs.
The only other hiccup I encountered was that if you're correcting via mouse clicks, Flyspell expects you to use the middle mouse button of a three button mouse. That doesn't exist on a Mac (or most computers!) so I found this handy snippet to change it to right/alternate click
;; http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10973000/emacs-23-4-mouse-2-behaviour-on-os-x-10-7 (eval-after-load "flyspell" '(progn (define-key flyspell-mouse-map [down-mouse-3] #'flyspell-correct-word) (define-key flyspell-mouse-map [mouse-3] #'undefined)))
There are some other useful tips and keybindings that you may want to setup too on the Emacs Wiki page
As I mentioned, I've occasionally used the Hemingway app for this online, and they do have their own editor. However, I came across
writegood-mode which covers most of the features provided by the online version of Hemingway. It highlights repeated words, passive voice and what it calls weasel words - descriptive words without much oomph like very, extremely, many. It's based on Matt Might's article and bash scripts. The results so far are good. It's keeping me on my toes!
writegood-mode is like any other package from Melpa. I've also included the recommended key bindings for toggling the mode as well running the two grading functions it makes available
(global-set-key "\C-cg" 'writegood-mode) (global-set-key "\C-c\C-gg" 'writegood-grade-level) (global-set-key "\C-c\C-ge" 'writegood-reading-ease)
To make things simpler, I turn on both Write Good and Flyspell in my Markdown mode hook, so now that looks like this:
(defun my-gfm-mode-hook () (setq markdown-command "multimarkdown") (setq markdown-preview-stylesheets (list "http://markdowncss.github.io/splendor/css/splendor.css")) (visual-line-mode 1) (global-visual-fill-column-mode) (flyspell-mode) (writegood-mode) )
And there we have it. I'm writing this post in my shiny new distraction free Markdown Emacs environment with a preview on my laptop monitor. I've got to say it's a great experience, and I really enjoyed plugging all the bits together to create a workflow tailored to me.
This isn't the end of the story. I then had to get WordPress to support Markdown and render correctly. It was one of those tasks that I thought would be simple but threw up some significant problems. That's the topic for another post!

Butter Sauteed Radishes
A couple of years ago my I went around to the farmers in our area looking for old rusted out metal troughs that they weren’t using anymore to feed their cows. These troughs are usually replaced with rubber troughs because they don’t rust out and don’t have to be replaced as often. I’ve collected about 7 of them in different sizes now. The farmers can’t use them but I can, I use them to make raised garden beds. The rusted holes in them are actually a plus when we get a rainy spell for a couple days, it helps to drain any extra water in the troughs so the plants don’t get too much.
The radishes I picked today were planted in one of those troughs. Beautiful bright red radishes fresh from the garden ready to be eaten. I will of course eat them out of hand and sliced in salads but I wanted a different way to take advantage of our crop. I decided to sauté them in butter to try something different. Butter Sautéed Radishes have a milder flavour than fresh radishes. Their skins turn a pretty pink color and they become slightly soft. They’re delicious!
Did you know that radish leaves can also be sauteed and eaten? After the radishes were sauteed and removed from the fry pan I placed the radish leaves in the pan along with a clove of minced garlic and 2 spring onions. You start out with what you think is a lot, but when they hit the heat they start to wilt and cook down so you definitely need enough to make it worth your while. Isn’t it nice to know you can use every bit of a vegetable you planted yourself! Butter Sauteed Radishes, they’ll make you crave your veggies, Enjoy!
Butter Sauted Radishes
- About 12 fresh radishes greens removed and radishes sliced in half
- 1 - 2 Tablespoons butter
- salt and pepper to taste
- Place the butter in a saute pan, turn the heat on to low. When the butter has melted add the radishes. Saute the radishes until they are nicely browned and soft. Remove from the pan, salt and pepper to taste, serve while hot.

And what you didn’t do to prevent it.
It’s the final meeting to wrap up a project with a new client. It feels like ages ago you were pitching the job, putting together a proposal, and delivering it in hopes of the all-important signature on the dotted line. Excitement and exhilaration pumped: a new job! A new client! A new opportunity to do what you and your company do best: help a valued customer improve their business and/or their life.
But something is off.
As the meeting wraps up and you begin to discuss next steps, you sense some disinterest—it feels like what ought to be a resounding “yes, let’s move ahead,” has become a “we’ll get back to you.”
Weeks later you call to follow up—but the calls go to voicemail, paving the way for a polite email rife with disinterest. “Thanks for everything you’ve done, blah blah blah. We appreciate the next proposal, but at this time we’re focusing on some other priorities.” It sounds like lip service. It IS lip service. Truth of the matter is, they’re not working with you because they evaluate performance in a different way than you do.
If you’ve been in this position, you’re not alone.
If you’re frustrated about it, you’re also not alone! Companies from one person in a home office to thousands of staff members at multiple corporate centers deal with the same issue: client satisfaction and the confusion that occurs following a “successful” project when it ends a partnership.
Why does this happen? And what if anything can be done to offer the service provider or seller more control?
After decades of serving a wide range of businesses, we’ve found that few—if any—define success the same way. For some businesses growth (more money) is the only measure of success. And this is great because that’s what we do. What has surprised us is that often, even though we’ve been hired to grow a business, growth is not the metric of success they’re using to evaluate our performance.
Maybe they really needed to deeply understand our processes so they could learn what works and what doesn’t. Maybe there was a challenging personality at the business who needed to be placated throughout the process for moral philosophy reasons. Growing the business was a success as it related to our signed proposal and their stated goals—but it was not the chief metric used to determine if continuing the relationship made sense!
SO, if you’ve ever found yourself in this frustrating situation, we recommend an incredibly simple fix:
Ask your client during the proposal: “Hey, what would make this project feel like a success?” More importantly, ask the client: “What would make this project feel like a fail?”
Chances are your client wasn’t even considering telling you the metrics they use because they weren’t fully aware of them. Now that you know, incorporate these metrics in your project or services to ensure that your clients feel the way you do. That the project was a big success! | <urn:uuid:932244ac-c973-4bfb-8659-f733437a1423> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://burgardagency.com/why-clients-bail/ | 2023-09-29T23:36:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00099.warc.gz | en | 0.956372 | 679 |

One of my former students (who is still a Twitter user) pointed me to this fantastic animation of powers of 10 meters, called “Scale of the Universe 2.” I think you’ll appreciate the design and relevance of the objects the authors, Cary and Michael Huang, use to help the user to understand the relevance of scale. Just like Powers of 10, you can zoom from the smallest part of a cell to the edges of the universe.
The authors have a collection of science- and math-oriented animations at HTwins.net that might be worth checking out too. They also have a clever little game called Get to the Top (with 82 variations).
P.S. If you’ve never seen the 1977 film, Powers of 10, it was a really incredible movie for its time and you can see it on YouTube. Another animated version of this film can be found at the Powersof10 website. | <urn:uuid:f0d4696c-2939-49bc-9dfc-97243e74f137> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://busynessgirl.com/scale-of-the-universe/ | 2023-09-30T00:05:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00099.warc.gz | en | 0.955959 | 191 |

Is there a connection between phone usage and sleep quality? Definitely.
Tossing, turning, and scrolling through social media while bundled up in bed has become a sort of vice in the modern world—a nightly cycle many of us can relate to. But is it bad to sleep with your phone? What is the connection between phone usage and sleep quality and how does it impact the brain? We’ve investigated the effects this habit has on wellness and, spoiler-alert, it’s not pretty.
Side Effects of Using Your Phone at Night
It’s scientifically proven: The body knows us better than we do—especially when it comes to unwinding and recharging at bedtime. The brain takes everything that comes with late evenings (i.e. the lack of sunlight, certain smells and sounds) as a sign to finally get under the covers and clock in some much-needed sleep. But, the follow-through on those natural instincts is not always so seamless when there’s tech involved.
Given the addictive behaviors our smartphones encourage, unplugging at bedtime—cold turkey, for that matter—seems an almost impossible task. It’s tempting to use your phone at night to scroll through your various feeds, share memes with friends, or search random fun facts while lying in bed. You do it for entertainment, in hopes it will bring you calm after a particularly stressful day. In reality, it’s doing more harm than good. Rather than relaxing your system, screentime stimulates both the body in mind in ways that specifically disrupt healthy sleep cycles.
“The light from our screens can delay our transition to sleep, even if we are engaged in some soothing activity online,” explains Joanna Cooper, M.D., a neurologist and sleep medicine specialist with the Sutter East Bay Medical Foundation. “The timing of sleep and wakefulness is controlled by two areas in the brain. One is highly sensitive to light and drives wakefulness, while the other, called the pineal gland, secretes the sleep hormone melatonin when the light dims in the evening.”
When the brain is subjected to incessant stimulation, it goes into fight-or-flight mode. Cortisol, a stress hormone, is released, and the production of melatonin, a hormone that controls the sleep-wake cycle and is created in response to darkness, is suppressed. It’s the opposite of what we need to achieve a restful night’s sleep.
Less Technology, More Happiness
But technology’s influence goes beyond sleep quality. A 2018 study took a closer look at whether or not the use of phones in the bedroom can impact happiness and well-being. Published in the journal Computers in Human Behavior and authored by Nicola Hughes of the University of East London, the study called for half of the participants to temporarily abstain from using their phone in the bedroom. The other half of participants were allowed to use their phone before bed, upon waking and carry on as normal.
At the end of the study, Hughes found that those who limited their phone use felt their quality of life improve after one week. They also shared with researchers that keeping their phones out of their bedrooms notably improved their sleep, their relationships, and reduced their anxiety.
How Long Before Bed Should You Stop Using Your Phone?
According to The National Sleep Foundation, optimal sleep quality is achieved when electronics are put down 30 minutes before bedtime. Why? Your brain thinks the blue light that emits from your phone screen is sunlight, causing it to delay sleep. Limiting screen time before bed or going so far as to implement a “no phone before bed” rule for yourself will help keep your sleep patterns regular and your sleep quality enviable. Yep, it really is as easy as saying goodbye to nighttime scrolling.
How to Stop Using Your Phone at Night
Sleep and phones just don’t mix. To sleep better, it’s important to make changes to your routine. And tracking your sleep on phone apps might not help as much as you think it would.
As previously mentioned, screentime is a stimulator. A simple way to combat this? Treat your bedroom like a sanctuary and keep your phone in a separate room, far from reach, when bedtime approaches. Obviously we’re partial to the idea of using the Loftie Clock to get sleep help like meditations, music, and white noise without using a phone, but you can always just opt for a good ol’ book and cup of hot tea if you’re looking to elevate your bedtime ritual. The result: a happier, healthier, more energized you. | <urn:uuid:c75495fd-73d0-4706-ba06-164f5e7cc6b2> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://byloftie.com/blogs/mindful-tech/what-nighttime-phone-use-does-to-your-brain | 2023-09-29T23:05:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00099.warc.gz | en | 0.939833 | 966 |

Web designing is not only about creating a clean code-base and sharp graphics, or having bug free functionality, or even fulfilling the owner’s strategic objectives. These are essential requirements in a web design, but even the most sophisticated technology or the best-written content won’t hit the nail on the head, if the user experience is not consistent, cohesive and stress-free.
Creating such a user experience is not a trivial job, and involves addressing many issues such as usability, brand identity, information architecture and interaction design. Web user experience development, from strategy and requirements through information architecture and visual design is a process that needs input from the client, creative designers, end-users and software developers. These stakeholders might have different perspectives and expectations about the website.
Client expectations when designing and implementing a website is usually more about delivering the message to the maximum possible number of users. To be more specific, the website would:
- Show as much information as possible
- Attract users
- Look great aesthetically (not just another website, but be THE website)
The users’ perspective when visiting a website may be drastically different when compared to the site owners, such as:
- Grab some data (easy scanning through the pages)
- Pleasant (good contrast and no harsh distractions)
- Easy navigation
The challenge for designers is to come up with a website that addresses both these perspectives. This is why the concept of website direction – Whiteboarding the concept and making adjustments to address the concerns of all stakeholders, including sample end users – is a key part of the web development process. The Whiteboarding process must be kicked off immediately after a clear set of written goals for the website are provided by the client.
A given functionality or content could possibly be presented to users in a hundred ways, and be accepted by them as a “good” experience. However it is possible to abstract atleast a few general principles for website design, based on numerous “usability testing” exercises conducted within the industry. Here are ten such important principles:
- Speed. The Website or page must appear to the user within a maximum of five seconds through reasonable Internet access (ideally less). There is nothing worse that a user could experience, than waiting for a website to load. Since loading speed is related to page-size, pages must be as lightweight as possible. We must avoid that 2 MB home page at all costs, even with today’s high-speed Internet connections.
- Simplicity. Present the core idea in a manner that the users could grasp it in the least possible time. Most usability experts say that if a given Web Page’s idea or functional purpose doesn’t register after five seconds, its poorly designed. It doesn’t mean the details could be read in five seconds, nor does it mean that any fields or user actions to be taken must be completed in five seconds. It just means we must “get it” in five seconds or less; for e.g. “this Website is about a social media marketing tool” or”this page is where I unsubscribe from my services, I have to give the service provider a reason for it” etc.
- Focus. Present the idea or functionality in an uncluttered way, with a focus on the core message or function. Lots of white space is fine, especially when we are dealing with functionality. Google pioneered this concept with their legendary home page. Even when we want to provide the user with a multimedia experience, we must keep it clean. For example, having two or more scrolling images within the same screen-view, or littering the website with advertisements that are not demarcated as such, can be most confusing to the user.
- Readability. Whenever we present textual information, we must keep it as succinct as possible. There is a whole school of advice on how to write for websites. In addition to the simple writing style they all advocate, we must make the paragraph width smaller for lengthy texts (so the eye doesn’t tire when scanning). Contrast must be good (beware of those fancy background colors and textures). Paragraph spacing must be adequate so the text doesn’t look clumped. Over the years, typography – the presentation and arrangement of text – has been considered a critical success factor in web design.
- Resolution-robust layout. There are a host of screen resolutions out there, and one must ensure that the web pages appear readable and pleasantly laid out to all these users. This does not mean that we design separate style sheets to cater to a dozen resolutions. It just means we should pick a minimum resolution (say 1024 X 768 pixels) and make sure that the site looks good in this resolution, and in any other resolution reasonably higher than this. Layouts must not be broken or look minute because of a higher resolution. One customary way of ensuring the latter is to have liquid layouts. In any case, all critical content should be above the fold – an imaginary line at the bottom of a screen with the minimum supported resolution. The purpose that the website represents, for example, should be apparent above the fold, within a few seconds.
- Coherence. This simply means that the collection of styles applied throughout the website must be the same, and each style applied for similar purposes. If there are two types of paragraphs, then all page content must use these paragraph templates. The color scheme, font scheme, input field and labeling scheme etc must be consistent throughout. Also, the way we perform different functions must be consistent. If field validation messages are displayed just below the field, then it should be so in every field in the website.
- Accessibility. Depending on the website’s business goals, it must be made accessible to as many users as possible. Cross platform testing, cross-browser testing and loading custom style sheets for targeted mobile devices are the commonest measures that one can take to ensure accessibility.
- Navigability. This means that we must have a uniform way to navigate throughout the website, without functional complexity (e.g. “tree views”) or the presence of multiple navigation areas. The ideal website would have a simple link-based navigation, perhaps within a common header. Complex dynamic navigation (cascading menus and flash pop-ups) should be avoided, unless for very particular reasons.
- Searchability. This simply means that your site is properly tagged and ready for search engines and for textual search. Page headers, meta-tags, resource links and paragraph headings must reflect the search criteria of the target users. For example, the heading for this article is “web designing for a good user experience”. It is likely that the article would show up if the words “web designing” and “user experience” was to be searched on Google. If the title were “good design tips” , it is unlikely that someone searching for user experience or website design would end up seeing it.
- Interactive. The concept of promoting interactive websites was a key component of the “Web 2.0 revolution” some years ago. Technologies like Ajax frameworks emerged to handle the problem of posting little bits of server-side content to th
e browser screen based on user actions, without refreshing the entire page and thus distracting the user. Anything ranging from enabling your website’s content to be posted on social media, to implementing an online chat function to support your business goals, would be advocated.
A concluding remark; people visit a Website to gain information or to perform a task (a function). Making sure we provide just this, and nothing more thatwould confuse the user, is the goal of user experience design. We could display our artistic skills in moderation, as we don’t make website designs today to merely showcase the artistic prowess of the designer, unless art has some special value to the core purpose of the website itself. What we do (or aught to do) is to capture the target audience by giving them exactly what they seek. A good website design is one that has as little design as possible, where the UI is clean, simple and unobtrusive. | <urn:uuid:01cf0af1-33f3-421b-8ab5-30c3b04c1ff3> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://calcey.com/blog/web-designing-for-a-good-user-experience/ | 2023-09-30T00:20:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00099.warc.gz | en | 0.936911 | 1,686 |

Morro Bay consists of three unique California Central Coast communities: Morro Bay, Cayucos, and Los Osos. At the end of scenic Highway One is Estero Bay. The area has become famous for its beautiful state parks, bird estuary’s, and the distinct Morro Rock. Tourists and locals both enjoy a variety of activities in the area, including fishing, surfing, kayaking, golfing, bird watching, beach-combing, or just relaxing and enjoying the sunset. Besides the nature and recreation of Estero Bay, there are also fine restaurants, and unique shops.
Morro Bay, the largest of the three cities, is at the heart of Estero Bay. Morro Rock, the last in a chain of long-extinct volcanoes, covers over 50 acres at its base and towers 576 feet above the entrance to Morro Bay. The waters that make up the bay are contained within a three-mile sandpit and the shores of Morro Bay and Los Osos. The local fishing industry is one of the most important along the California Coast.
On the Embarcadero, you can shop, walk to Tidelands Park and play on the pirate ship, or simply sit and watch as the boats make their way to sea. Peruse MorroBay.com and learn more about the treasures of Estero Bay!
Backroads: Cayucos to San Simeon
By Bennett Barthelemy“Slow the f-* down! Get out of the car and pee — feel the earth,” my partner Rita admonished me. Her words were softened by her relaxed bright smile as I dove the van aggressively into the well-crowned twists of Old Creek Road out of Cayucos. She then challenged me to find three bird species and to identify them. I listened to her, and looked for the birds, and even stopped periodically. The drive was exponentially enhanced.Read More

We were visiting a place named "Foresta Lumina" in Caticook, Quebec. "Foresta Lumina" is a path in the woods and by a river where are made multiple projections of light on the trees, ground and rocks. This photo shows a projection of lights on a cliff by the river. A magic moment...That's absolutely cool, Pierre, a fantastic shot. I could make out the scenery at the sea-shore, but where did you get these beautiful light-effects from?
Is it a double exposure? The more I look at it the more fascinated I am.
Ferns are fascinating. As they predate all pollinators, they have three modes of reproduction - asexual, bisexual and sexual. | <urn:uuid:5380ce7c-cd6a-43a1-9b4a-0a182a7e6b36> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://cameraderie.org/threads/color-photographs.643/page-156#post-575039 | 2023-09-29T22:40:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00099.warc.gz | en | 0.957546 | 151 |
The Sidhe card was drawn in a March 19th 2022 Equinox Reading. See Video: Equinox Oracle Reading + Guided Journey with Fairies, Sidhe, Elementals
This excerpt is from my upcoming book Sacred Spirits of Gaia: Co-Creating with Fairies, Elementals, Ancestors, and Spirits of Land.
Claim Your Faery Roots
I am of the Sidhe Faery Race named after sacred Celtic mounds. I welcome you with love into The Otherworld to bridge magical and physical realms of nature. Upper, Middle, and Lower Worlds are now one. Return to the magic of your blood/soul lineage. Sidhe Faery King has a gift for you—a golden cross to represent the crossroads where all directions meet. Fey treasures await when you claim your true lineage.
When you surrender to the love of Sidhe, you will radiate brightly.
I was given a key… a key that breaks old contracts and opens Faeryland to all. This experience happened during a shamanic drum journey that Jan Kinsey lead during a meeting of Fairy & Human Relations Congress visionaries and organizers. My intention for the shamanic journey was to go into The Otherworld to ask for more input, direction, and collaboration between the realms. I immediately entered Fairyland with the beat of the drum. Everything in nature was alive with the color, light, and energy.
A male Sidhe faery appeared, a king. Sidhe King told me to sit in a chair. The chair was a leather throne set high in the circle. Telepathically, he said: Take your place in the Circle. We are in Council, all of us. You, as human, and as one of us, Sidhe. I saw a circle of faeries, elves, nature spirits, and elementals. A long necklace was placed around my neck with a shiny gold Celtic cross pendant. I was given this sacred symbolic gift and told that the gold cross was an etheric key to break old contracts that keep us out of Faeryland. I used it, and felt my heart break open and become flooded with warmth and light. The key gave me an energetic healing transmission. I noticed a stack of golden keys had formed on my necklace. These keys were to be distributed to others to bring them back into deeper relations with the Sidhe, the faery race of the unseen realms. I was told to pass the keys on to others so they could unlock the door to remembering.
I shared my journey with the group, and I gave each person an energetic key. Some of the others cried with recognition at how deeply the church and pagan split cut through their hearts and souls and kept them divided. The full magic of Faeryland had been locked away due to old religious conflicts and patriarchal structures that creates a deep divide between religions of humanity and Faery, Pagan and Christianity. Deep wounds and outdated contracts need to be released.
Over the years, humanity has make huge strides re-connecting with fairies, the Sidhe, elementals, nature spirits, and devic realms. By receiving this gift directly from the Sidhe, we accept an invitation to empower ourselves to open more doors, dissolve taboos, and break old soul contracts within ourselves and lands. You are invited into a new level of remembering who you are and how you can come together with the magical realms once again.
The Sidhe or Daoine Sidhe (pronounced deenee shee) descended from the people of Danu or the Tuatha De Danann. Sidhe means people of the mounds. They are considered Ancestors, Gods, Goddess, Spirits of Nature as they were the pre-Celtic inhabitants of Ireland. They retreated into invisibility into underground mounds. I first connected with them through Danu who came to me when I was connecting with wild lilies and wildflowers in the forests of Oregon. There are many names for the Sidhe including the good people. The Fairy Faith is a set of practices used to stay in good relationship with them.
Connecting with the Sidhe centers you in the ancient tradition of Ireland and Scotland and a different experience than what you would have connecting with fairies in your garden in the United States. (I use a different spelling of fairy for the fairies of nature.) If you descend from this lineage, you may begin to remember what your ancestors knew. There are warnings about working with faeries in the UK. I will not speak on this because I do not have my own experiences to speak from. My experiences with Sidhe has been through spiritually connecting to them as I would an ascended master or angel or ancestral spirit. They are a powerful race of beings that wants to connect with humans to support the ascension of our planet. When I have connected with them, I have felt intense, boundless love and a deep respect for their purpose.
Some of my ancestors were persecuted for their faery beliefs. Cellular memories and generational trauma passed down through my lineage affected my ability to publically share my interest and work with the faery realms. For many years, I tread gently as I learned how to feel safe and free to share fairy secrets. It was easier to be silent to avoid ridicule, judgement, and shame. Among our wider culture, fairy belief in adults appears taboo. People are uncomfortable speaking out about their belief in the magical, mystical realms. It has taken me a long time to feel comfortable being a voice for faeries and fairy nature spirits. Yet, they need us. My personal discomfort and fears seem small in comparison with the fulfillment of being in service to nature’s angels, builders, and creators and the importance of stepping into new earth frequencies. My fear lessens as I speak out. I know I am here to encourage others, like you, to speak out on behalf of the Fay.
It was very helpful for me to recognize that my Celtic ancestors had ceremony and ritual that included fairies, nature spirits, and little people. Somehow, the idea that fairies and nature spirits were part of my ancestral religion touched me deeply. Faeries are much more than the media lead us to believe. Our culture devalues all that is more feminine in nature. Faeries are very powerful. Connecting with Sidhe faery race as well as fairies and nature spirits needs to be respected and valued as a sacred part of nature and life on earth.
Recently, The Sidhe wanted to participate in planetary light-work I was offering. My body was flooded with fear as I got on the Zoom call. It is common for me to feel the collective energy on the planet before I do a healing or event as my body is an instrument of sensing. I was guided to move my consciousness down into the inner earth so I could be in higher octave vibrations versus the surface of the earth where the fear was thick.
The Sidhe and Blue Elf came in to offer their gifts. Blue Elf directed elemental efforts for light to beam up from within the planet in different locations. The Sidhe brought their magical healing pink light and faery golden and green sparkles of joy into the light being distributed around the planet. It was an active energetic transmission from Nature for those that were open to receiving it. We felt more souls connecting with the Crystalline Grid and I got the message to open my feet to receive more earth energy. This will dissipate fear and offer a wave of love to counteract fear.
Sometimes it’s the simple things that are most powerful. Remembering to connect with the earth through your feet aligns you with your divinity and oneness. Also, it allows the release of old believes, myths, and programming from your nervous system. Accepting earth energy into your body is how your body stays healthy and vibrant especially through transitions. Receiving from Gaia opens your communication with the Sidhe, too. Be receptive. You may see or sense faeries showing up as a fire in your heart as they awake a light within your soul.
Co-Creating with the Sidhe
- Sidhe Ritual
Envision receiving a Celtic cross from the King—a key. Take this shiny, golden cross-key now and imagine placing it energetically in your heart space. Turn the key to unlock any chains/soul contracts that separate you from Faery, nature-based traditions, or lineages. It is so. | <urn:uuid:fd463701-3cb8-464b-a7c6-4d9bf50a2498> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://camillablossom.com/equinox-reading-sidhe/ | 2023-09-29T23:27:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00099.warc.gz | en | 0.970477 | 1,723 |

They are very professional in their work, I had a great experience with them recently and everything was satisfactory. They treated me very well and with my puppy, they were excellent. I am very grateful to all the people that work there. I can recommend it 100% to all my friends and family.
Since I got in I was treated with so much kindness and respect not to mention how much love they give their patients. From the girls in the front desk to the doctor who was very informative and explained all so well. I’m really thankful my best friend recommended me this place, it truly felt like home.
I love Carballo Animal Clinic, they are professional and caring staff, I used to bring my little yorkie Lilly here and after she crossed the rainbow bridge I adpted a cat, I bring her to the animal clinic for checkups and vaccines. I recommend 100% their service ... you are going to be as pleased as me for sure.
Dr.Carballo Jr. is a very nice personable surgeon. He operated on our miniature schnauzer and removed a bladder stone. The surgery was done through a small incision requiring only three stitches. Our dog is doing great and as such it was a very successful surgery. The fact that the dog is alive and doing well speaks for itself.
I love bringing my cat to this place. These are the most knowledgeable, caring and loving people. They treat my cat as if it was theirs. Every time I leave this place I know my cat is in a safe place. Totally recommend it to other people. Excellent doctor, excellent services, very good prices, impossible better.
They discovered, that immune system was conpromised. Thanks to the Carballos my Niki is a happy and healthy cat and in September of 2019 she will celebrate her 6 birthday. The Carballos are truly what a vet team is supposed to be: friendly, professional, caring and loving to pets. They saved my Niki.
I love this clinic , I have 3 large dog’s and I have to say that all people in the clinic are so professional and so kind , I’m so glad Mía is better now , so thank you !
Dr. Carballo is whom usually tends to my cats, he's truly skilled and awesome at what he does. The staff is great and helpful always, and they treat their patients with love and care. I'm so happy i found them, my last vet was another spot in Kendall & it was AWFUL. I love Dr. Carballo's office, and it's close to my house. I won't go anywhere else.
I love how much they care about my dog. They are great and very professional.
Amazing staff, Valentina is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a first time vet.

Wesley Todd [00:07]: This is the Litigation Management podcast. Once again, I’m your host CaseGlide CEO, Wesley Todd. And the Litigation Management podcast is where I interview some of the most successful and influential people in and around Litigation Management and oftentimes claims management. And as you know, we’re going for the big home runs trying to find the most important most transformative insights. And we’re interviewing people who are working on the piping the foundation of these industries that feed into litigation, especially claims, especially insurance, so that you can understand how the things that are happening on the front end are going to impact you as adjusters, as attorneys and as claims executives. And we’ve had some unbelievable guests and have more lined up. Today on the Litigation Management pod. I have Alex Meisner, and Alex is the VP of Innovation at Snapsheet. And Alex, I believe, I won’t steal his thunder here. But Snapsheet is you know, one of the most effective claims technology initiatives we’ve ever seen. They’ve made tons of progress. They are the crown jewel of the insurance technology space. And there’s nobody even close as far as on the claim side. And I just you know, I wanted to bring Alex on to talk about his background. So why don’t you tell us a little bit about your background, Alex?
Alex Meisner [01:34]: Sure thing. Well, thanks for having me, Wes, really excited to be chatting with you. So my background is really in statute. I graduated college in 2010. And very long story short, met our founder and CEO Brad Weisberg, he actually hired me in another company, he started body shop bids, which was the first version of Snapsheet if you will, hired me back in 2010. Body Shop bids was a two sided market place focused on helping non insurance accidents basically, if you got into an accident, and didn’t want to go through your insurance carrier, you could download “The Body Shop Bids” app, submit photos of the damage to your vehicle, in a matter of 24 hours, get a couple estimates from local body shops. It didn’t really work out too well. And so we quickly learned that insurances were something like 90% or 95%, of auto repairs take place, the insurance carriers. So we pivoted the company and focused on optimizing and enhancing the customer experience around the appraisal process for auto damage claims back in 2012. And so we really pioneered the concept of leveraging the power of the mobile phone for customers, allowing them to take photos of the damage to their vehicle and in a matter of hours, receive that insurance appraisal, and just expedite the speed of the claim. And so over the years Snapsheet is really focused on trying to better the claims experience. And as we started working closer with auto insurance carriers and understanding the difficulties of a claims adjuster, we realize there is a need for modern technology that really empowers insurance carriers to have a proactive approach to claims handling. And so if you fast forward to today, we have two sides of the business with our software offering, which is end to end claims and platform, all cloud based. And then we still operate our virtual Appraisal Services, which is an outsourced offering for not just auto insurance carriers, but really any company that has a claims organization or claims aspect of their business. So rental car companies, car sharing companies, fleet companies, we help them expedite the appraisal process on that side of the business. But today, we’ll be talking about our software offering.
Wesley Todd [04:10]: That’s a great story. And what about you in particular, I know that you didn’t start off with a VP title at a company of hundreds and hundreds of people, you started off doing and…
Alex Meisner [04:21]: We literally do everything. Yeah, so I was Brad’s first hire. So it was just the two of us in the early days. But it really was focusing on our customer support right, just sort of figuring out how to interact with our insurance carriers, how to support the end customer who has gone through the appraisal process, making sure adjusters have the information they need. And so sort of throughout my career at Snapsheet, I really worked in every department other than engineering, and really like working close with our customers. Our understanding their needs. So that’s really my main focus on today, I’m responsible for our enterprise software customers in terms of customer success, and then still work closely on the innovation side, trying to understand their problems, bring it back to our engineering team to really help them build out our platform.
Wesley Todd [05:20]: It’s really, really, it’s a great story, to have been there and seen it. I mean, it’s just incredible. If you ever been to the office, and it’s I mean, it’s so impressive and all the people there, it’s so impressive to imagine what it was like when it was just two of you? You know, Snapsheet has evolved, like you were seeing quite a bit over time, and been successful at every juncture, what are the things that you’re you know, you’re personally working on now?
Alex Meisner [05:53]: Right now, it’s really, my focus has been understanding our customers’ problems. That’s really what it’s all about, is working with our claim system customers, as well as our payments customers to help them better leverage our platform. You know, our offering is the new cloud-based SaaS offering, which is sort of a different model than a lot of insurance carriers are used to in terms of purchasing software. So it’s going to take time, a lot of hand-holding, the system is, is really geared for Self Service Administration on the carrier side. So instead of having to rely on engineering teams, or third parties to tune the system, we actually give them the power to build workflows to determine you know, how they want flames routed so on and so forth. So a lot of the elements of a claim system that previously required engineering efforts can be done by our users you know, typically, a business analyst is tuning the system. So really helping them learn how to do that, sort of fits their needs, and then taking the feedback back to our team in terms of what we can do to enhance the platform because claims are wild. They’re not linear, and every day, you see a new scenario, a new edge case, and we want to try and solve for this.
Wesley Todd [07:27]: That’s really interesting you know, focusing on the problem. So it’s tough in your shoes, because you not only have to focus on the problems at every level, but let’s just look at like the problems on the front lines. I mean, when I say every level, I mean, IT department, executives, like there’s things getting in everyone’s way everywhere. So your pricing has to be good, your contract has to be good, your sales has to be good, your support has to be good. But I think what would be really valuable for this audience, we’re made up of a lot of adjuster’s attorneys and claims executives zooming in on those problems. So you have, whether it’s auto-playing property claim, in being on the litigation side, we see it like, we see what happens when those go wrong. So the first thing is, for whatever reason, they may contact someone else before they contact the insurance company. Problem number one, whether it’s an attorney, or some kind of adjuster, or chiropractor, I mean, who knows. I mean, and I think that’s what the original product got out. And then there’s, you have to schedule an inspection or scheduled some kind of meeting. I mean, these are all things that I think Snapsheet gets tackled one by one, but in the vast majority of insurance companies still are big challenges. And then there’s how you communicate, there’s how you pay? There’s just so many different problems, what are, amongst those things, what are the biggest problems that you see? And how does tech come into play there? And then also, what are some of the issues trying to implement tech to solve those problems?
Alex Meisner [08:59]: Yeah. I mean, I think one of the biggest problems, which is the catalyst for additional problems further up or downstream is that traditionally, insurance claims have been reactive. Insurance carrier’s adjusters wait for you know, the customer to file the claim. Once that claim is filed historically, it’s a request for information. It takes a long time. And you know, not all claims are the same. You have low severity claims, you have high severity claims or claims in certain jurisdictions, it might have a higher propensity for litigation and so, what we’re trying to solve is really how do you take the claims process and make it proactive? How do you leverage technology to complement the adjuster? A lot of what we’ve seen, especially with the legacy infrastructure is adjusters spend their time not actually adjudicating claims but doing non-value added work, rekeying information across multiple systems, searching information, they’re working with multiple tools. So we really want to simplify the claims experience for the adjuster, that’s our focus. Because if the adjuster is equipped with the right tools, then the customer is going to have a better experience.
Wesley Todd [10:23]: What do you find there? Like, you got me curious. Now, I guess the people putting in the software couldn’t be further removed you know, at a lot of these large publicly traded shops and not to bash them, but it’s just you can’t run a multibillion-dollar software company and beyond you know, understand exactly the adjuster’s issues. What kind of chaos do you see with some of these companies you know, on the legacy platforms in that regard? I’d be curious, like, because you talked about, like, rekeying information. I’m just thinking in my head, all the different systems that they might go to get an estimate or might go to request you know, medical records or might I mean, it just, it’s got to be absolute hell for those adjusters.
Alex Meisner [11:07]: Right. I mean, insurance carriers blame orgs have always relied on a lot of third party vendors. On the property side, whether it’s to do inspections, water mitigation, auto side, you have the data aggregators, you have the salvage yards. And what’s interesting is, there are a lot of behemoths, who really have you know, there’s duopoly a lot of the time for each sort of segment. And because of that, insurance carriers haven’t had a lot of choices, or a lot of variety in the solutions that they’re looking for. So they’re kind of stuck with one or two different options. And if they’re not a friendly, easy to use solution, that’s going to impact their infrastructure. And that’s why over the years, you’ve seen insurance carriers tech stacks get complicated. That’s why they have to rekey because systems aren’t talking to each other. You know, just like inside of insurance carriers in any organization, their silos, a lot of the big carrier big vendors, insurance carriers rely on today have closed platforms, which makes integrations, the ease of doing business that much harder. But luckily, with really the emergence of cloud based technology API’s that the industry is leaning into, we’re starting to see that change.
Wesley Todd [12:35]: Yeah. I mean, on the litigation side, there’s when you think of it that way, it’s obvious why there are so many claims that do go to litigation and get out of control. It is reactive you know, claims management. What’s funny, I’ve heard on several podcasts, I think we’ve even mentioned it here. It’s odd, because claims is the actual product of insurance, claims is the product like that’s what someone’s buying. And for that to be wholly outsourced is one thing. I mean, that’s like, you can do that and you can do that well. And I think we, you and I would both agree that you know, that gives you a lot of flexibility and there’s a lot of strength there. But it can’t be done well, without the right, you know, I think technology is the solution. It’s funny how these things persists at this point, and I mean, I can’t imagine what you know, the type of things that that the adjusters have to go through now, with all these disparate systems. It’s funny that you mentioned duopoly sale. So for those of you that don’t know what that means, I’m guessing you mean like there’s like two vendors in the space, to engineering firms, to soft claim software to data firms. I never even really realize it. And what’s that do to an insurance company? Have you seen they lose leverage? And basically, now you’re kind of at the whim of the process of all your vendors.
Alex Meisner [14:15]: I don’t know that they lose leverage. I just think that their options in terms of solutions is limited. The prevalence of modern technology for a long time was limited, because they relied so heavily on vendors for different aspects of their claims business. You know, I think there’s need an argument to be made that the end customer experience have been jeopardized, because there hasn’t been a lot of new entrants. And you know, until sort of the insurer tech revolution came about leveraging data, leveraging AI, you know, and at the end of the day, claims matter to your point. And you know, insurance carriers haven’t really invested in their claim organizations as much as they have invested on the front end in terms of distribution. So, and whether that’s a technology investment, a people investment, a training investment as you know, the industry is sort of facing this resource issue. A lot of the adjusters who have the knowledge, who have the experience are retiring. So who’s going to replace them? Where is that knowledge live? A lot of the time, it just lives in that person’s head. And so that’s where these new technologies come into place. You can have workflows, you can drive consistent outcomes without necessarily needing the tribal knowledge that exists today.
Wesley Todd [15:56]: Yeah, that’s just not how modern billion dollar businesses work anymore, right, like billion dollar I mean, you can call it insurance company, FinTech. I mean, you know, or a fin at least. And I mean, you know, like, it’s a financial service. And they don’t they don’t rely on a bunch of experts doing manual things. And yeah, I wonder, it’s a really interesting point you raise about why that’s persisted in the insurance industry.
Alex Meisner [16:21]: And I think, changing and at the same time, don’t get me wrong, insurance carriers are extremely good at what they do. They’re very large organizations are very good at assessing risk. But I think there’s an argument to be made to your point, as a consumer you’re buying insurance to protect you. You know, the claims process is the product but you don’t really interact with your insurance carrier outside of the claims process. And so there’s a lot that can be done to better the customer experience, educate the customer before that claim happens. Because the best time is no claim.
Wesley Todd [17:04]: Yeah, which actually is a good lead in. Well, first of all, the person that came up with the great idea, or the great quote, of browned around people paying attention to distribution and InsurTech, and not the back end was a Jamie from Snapsheet. He calls it the mullet theory, that the party is backstage, everybody’s paying attention to the front end, but the party’s backstage and in the back office with claims. I love that. But what you raised brings a good point. So I want to ask you about what the industry will look might look like 10 years from your perspective that you’re able to sort of see some of the transformation going on, some of the insurer tech activity going on. You know, to your point, claims as you experience insurance companies are really good at what they’re doing assessing risk, because frankly, if every insurance company has an average claims process, or if 80% of has an average claims process, then the fact that that’s not that efficient or effective, doesn’t really harm them, because they’ll all face the same claim severity fallout, and they all will just charge a different rate. They’re all like, there’s no you know, as long as they’re all charging the same rate. And having the same problems, the expense doesn’t really matter, because the expense gets rolled up into a new rate. But what can happen in the future, and I think, what there’s a lot of bets going on in the InsurTech space is that expense can be driven down? I think that to your point, a lot of it is on the front side going direct to the policyholder rather than through an agent. So they’re trying to drive down that expense. But of course, also they want to drive it down on the claim side. And if they’re successful in doing that, then there actually will be incentive for insurance companies not to just raise their rates, but to have a better claims experience so that there’s less severity and less lawsuits. So are you, you know with that backdrop, and your experience you know, over the past, nearly a decade now you know, looking at this on the front lines, how do you think the insurance industry looks different in 5 or 10 years than it looks today? And when I mean insurance adjuster, I mean, like the players in the insurance industry, the legacy carriers, the Insurer Tech’s you know, with that backdrop, what does it look like?
Alex Meisner [19:28]: I mean, I think the legacy carriers are here to stay, to be honest, starting insurance carriers very tough. There are some, you know, successful Insurer Tech’s out there, who are, who are making waves, the lemonades of the world and you know, they’re inspiring the legacy carriers, the incumbents to work harder to do better to improve that customer experience. And we’re starting to see it on the digital offerings as it pertains to claims, the ease of submitting a claim. It’s all there. So I think 10 years from now, I think they’ll look very similar. I think what will be different is, the technology that insurance carriers are using. You know, COVID really forced insurance carriers to go virtual to go remote. So it will be interesting from a planning perspective to see our justice coming back in the office, or is this really the revolution and the digitization of the insurance carriers and the claims process, but I don’t think it will look that much different. I think you might you know, you’ll start seeing AI, from a claims perspective being woven into the process more holistically. You know, it’s hard to insert technology, or these new technologies inside of these you know, existing business processes, the legacy infrastructure on to do that in a way where an insurance carrier gets reaps the benefits is difficult. And also, you have to prove that the technology works. Adjusters have very difficult jobs. And so regardless of what your solution is, you need to prove to them that it works and makes their life easier, not harder. A lot of times new technology unintentionally, actually creates more friction than it’s results. But 10 years from now, I think it’ll be very similar to be quite honest.
Wesley Todd [21:41]: That’s really interesting. I think I’m hearing more and more of that lately. There was the threat of, you know, disruption and transformation and, but I do think more and more now. And it’s funny, because it comes at the exact same time that hundreds of millions of dollars are being pumped into billions of dollars in valuations of InsurTech’s for the first time ever really. I mean, it was not to the extent it is now, the valuations and the amount of money going into the [inaudible] eliminates the Metro miles, [inaudible] of course, you know, the leaders in the space. It’s funny to hear that now that we think that that they’ll be able to keep up and adapt and be able to compete.
Alex Meisner [22:36]: It’s good for the consumer, for the customer, competition is going to drive change within the industry. And so that’s really important. We’ve seen it accelerate, 10 years ago when we first got into, into the industry, insurance carriers, we’re just starting to understand that the customer experience matters. And so they’ve done a good job over the course of the last 10 years, and enhancing the customer experience from a claim perspective. But there’s still a long way to go.
Wesley Todd [23:13]: Yeah. Now, I think that’s a really good point. I mean, it just shows your, it shows the balanced approach. And you have been able to witness. I mean, when you guys first came in, it was you know, you were the first trying to digitize that front end.
Alex Meisner [23:29]: And really the one of the biggest changes we’ve seen is the emergence of the gig economy from the insurance perspective between the Uber’s of the world, the car sharing platforms, the Airbnb, these were new risks that didn’t exist before. And very quickly, insurance carriers sort of leaned into it and started writing that business. So it’s been interesting from a litigation perspective, I’m sure you know, it’s a different animal. The gig economy versus, you know, a standard, personal or giving commercial claim.
Wesley Todd [24:08]: Yeah, that’s interesting that you bring that up. Because there’s such an influx into that industry. And we know people in that industry, I think that if I recall correctly, a lot of those firms are creating captives or to some extent and self-insured you know, trying to self-insurance to some extent, they I think the insurers had a difficult time driving the right amount of rate for that book of business. Have you seen that too?
Alex Meisner [24:44]: Well, yeah, I mean, that’s what we saw in the early days is the need for the captives for those gate [inaudible] content platforms is there because there was no data for insurance carriers to assess that risk. And so they were sort of watching it and letting that data aggregate. But now you’re seeing more insurance carriers starting to take on the risks themselves, because they understand it. Now they’re seeing the data and they’re having a better time understanding it.
Wesley Todd [25:16]: And have you followed the embedded insurance movement at all, where a lot of people are talking about like Tesla, for example, doing their own insurance. And you know again, mostly tech and data driven, the idea being (a) there’s theoretically money to be made there, but (b) that they could do it better and less expensive than the competitors, and give them that experience, that that full, you know, full cycle experience with Tesla. If you heard anything about that? And what are your thoughts on that?
Alex Meisner [25:50]: I mean, it makes sense. If, when you go purchase a car, why not purchase the insurance at the same time? It makes life that much easier? Why isn’t everything like that? You can go buy a product from Apple, and you can get Apple Care, which is effectively insurance right there and then you don’t have to search around for it. So I think you know, it’ll be interesting, especially what Tesla’s doing, because you know, they’re also creating the entire, they’re trying to create sort of their own ecosystem if you will, from you know being a carrier to having their own repair facilities to really managing the experience end to end for their owners. So I’m curious to see how it develops, because they’ve tried a few times but it’s really, let’s wait and see.
Wesley Todd [26:45]: Yeah, yeah, that’s interesting. It’s tough, it’s going to be tough for them to be able to spend that effort resource from you know, does it make money as an insurance company? But I think to your point, they’re trying to create that whole ecosystem. And if it’s a better experience, and lead to people buying more Tesla’s, so maybe insurance sort of becomes a dirty word and it’s really just about the user experience. And then it becomes table stakes for these car companies to deliver that. And I think that kind of makes a little bit of a sense from an embedded standpoint. So you’re right. It’s they want to own the environment, probably not because they think they’re going to make as much money in insurance as they do you know, selling software driven cars. But that’s, I think that’s right. They’re trying to own that whole user experience. Why not?
Alex Meisner [27:42]: They have the technology, maybe you know, maybe they will be the first at scale to have a touchless claims experience, because the car talks, with cars talking, they’re listening from a data perspective.
Wesley Todd [27:58]: Yeah, I mean, that that makes sense. It’s funny, because what you know, what could an insurance company do about that? Like, I had Nick Lamparelli on here from previously from InsurTech from “The Yellow Book Road” podcasts. And everybody knows him. He’s everywhere in InsurTech. And he was saying that if you’re a policyholder, and you’re paying you know, $500 for auto insurance, or $500 for home insurance, and the insurance companies not investing in technology, or not you know, going all in on technology or user experience. He brought up a really good point to me about that, I hadn’t thought about as he reminded me that they are sitting on all this surplus. They’re sitting on all this funds that they invest for a couple percent. And by not investing in claims user experience, by not investing in subrogation actually, that was one of the things that, you know, we’re getting money back for the policyholder the way he phrased it, by not investing in some of that they really are. It does actually kind of irk you a little bit. It’s interesting, because you think about it. Well, they’re just sort of breakeven insurance companies. To me, they’re not breakeven, but you know, they’re it’s a probably a fixed you know, they want to make whatever three 5% a year and invest that make another you know, 3%, 5%. But then when you break when you bring it up that way, and you realize they’re sitting on all that money that could be invested in a better policyholder experience. And then when Elon comes in with a 10 times better product, because he’s spending money to that the insurance companies weren’t spending they just weren’t investing in. It sort of makes you feel a little bit differently about it.
Alex Meisner [29:48]: Yeah. I mean, retention is key, like your claims experience is only as good as your last best experience. So these days, there’s a lot of good customer experience to be had whether it’s taking an Uber during COVID. Ordering food, it’s easy. But filing an insurance claim is not as easy as that. And if you have a poor claims experience, you know, I forget what the number is something like 60% of people that have a backlink experience are going to switch carriers. And so the insurance carrier is empowered with claim experience.
Wesley Todd [30:23]: Wow, I never, I haven’t heard that before. And those 60% of people also, a lot of them are gonna want to sue the insurance company, right? If it was really bad, they’re gonna be incentivized to sue, they’re gonna be frustrated, because companies just don’t do that anymore, particularly with something that’s like really important, like a house or a car. Like, it’s just not a matter of calling back and forth and being forwarded to four different people. And to your point, I mean, I think they’re actually have gotten a lot better at this because they they’ve had to but yeah, this is why I wanted to have you on because I feel like this is really valuable for adjusters to understand and attorneys understand that this is where it all these factors really come from. Full circle though, I think one of the first things you said, if insurers were able to be more proactive, as you mentioned, then that would reduce claims, reduce litigation. I mean, it sounds like you’re not 100% bullish on the industry’s ability to do that anytime soon. So everybody, listen to the podcast and you know, breathe a breath of relief, that they’re not going to be out of a job because it’s going to be a you know button click, but talk to me a little bit more about what’s proactive claims handling?
Alex Meisner [31:48]: Proactive claims handling so you know, a lot of claims handling is rooted in the diary. You talk to a customer or claimant, you set a diary for two weeks out, one week out, whatever that may be. Communications documents could be coming into the claim final. But they’re not being addressed as they come in, or being addressed based on when that diary was set. So proactive claims handling is about handling the right claim at the right time, keeping claims moving forward. If you request a piece of information from your customer to aid the claims process, and they give it to you right away you know, the expectation today, especially with like things like text messaging, is customers want instant gratification, I sent you something now you have to send me something right back. And so that’s what it’s really about is, how can we help insurance carriers give them tools to enable a proactive claims process? And it starts I think, even before the claim, whether it’s home or property, if you put some technology in your customer’s hand to document the condition of their home or their vehicle, when that first claim comes in and the adjuster has access to those photos easily and can make a very quick determination. Yes, this is new damage. It’s not pre-existing and settle the claims that should be settled quickly that’s a great customer experience. You know, he’s still here a lot of times, well, I already sent you that. Your insurance company will request documents or information that you’ve already provided them. But they’re just not easily accessible to the claims handling. And so it’s trying to understand I think, after a while, how can we send this claim down the right path the first time, based on characteristics based on all the different variables. But claims are tough. Claims are very difficult. There are a lot of things that are out of the insurance carrier’s control, whether it’s state regs, the customer itself cats the environment, the weather, the climate is going crazy. So it is what they do is very difficult. But there is now technology that will enable them to better to achieve their goals. They’re getting there for sure.
Wesley Todd [34:29]: That’s a great perspective. I think when we first got into this, it was you know, like wait, how could this be? This is ridiculous. I’m sure when you first looked at claims you were like this is awful. And then as you started to and same with me with claims litigation, so much so that I risk my whole career on it, but then as did you, but you do have a level of respect for how challenging it actually is in play? I mean, this is…
Alex Meisner [35:00]: It’s such a difficult job and you know, adjudicating a claim and adjuster has one of the most difficult jobs, I think out there. Because not only do they have to be empathetic, they are dealing with very traumatic losses for their end customers a lot of the time. So they have to make them their customers feel okay. But at the same time, they have to duplicate the claim based on the policy and the circumstances in the context. And so when you add that on top of having to work on multiple systems, and all the other things they do, like, let’s you know, let’s empower adjusters to adjudicate that’s really what they should be doing.
Wesley Todd [35:41]: Yeah. I think we’ve given up on the fact you know, on the idea that technology is going to be able to do really anything to remove adjusters, it’s more about giving them more time to close the case, instead of doing all the clerical work, which we’re all prone to do that we see that other things that in the litigation side, like it’s very easy to just respond to your emails. And that’s why our nature you know, that’s where 80% of us are instincts are just respond emails. And so yeah, the idea is not replace anybody when that’s not possible in claims or in litigation. But the idea is, you could just take that 80% of manual effort off their plate, give them you know, different alerts, different triggers, then they’ll be more successful. So it’s an evolution from a technology side to come to that realization?
Alex Meisner [36:35]: I mean, just you know, the art of putting together the claim documentation or the claim extract, to hand over to their counsel, or to their outside attorneys, when cases do go to litigation like that itself, is very difficult to do. It should be easy. It should be clicking the button here is everything you need here, all the artifacts structured, here’s all the documentation. But it’s not that easy right now.
Wesley Todd [37:05]: Yeah. So what about if there’s someone listening to this, they’re an adjuster, maybe they’re an attorney, maybe their executive director, something like that. That’s where we were 10 years ago, or whatever, for me, it was like seven or eight years ago, and they’re saying, actually, I think I can help solve that problem. You know, they may be you know, stick they may feel like, like, there are transformational advancement that can be made. What advice do you have for somebody sitting in the adjuster side, or sitting in the attorney side, maybe you’ve seen experience that people come out of that and become valuable people at Snapsheet or elsewhere? Like what advice you have for somebody that thinks they have an idea, or thinks they have an opportunity to change the claims industry, or the legal industry or something like that?
Alex Meisner [38:00]: I think run with it and question everything. I think it’s you know, the insurance in particulars industry of why we do it this way, because we’ve always done it that this way. But people rarely ask, why are you doing it that way? And a lot of times, you have to peel the onion back to understand the answer. It’s because of, you know, dependencies on legacy infrastructure that they have to overcome. You know, there’s a myriad of answers. And so a lot of the times that original problem might not be the actual problem, it might be a symptom of the actual problem. So I would encourage anyone with an idea, really dissect it, try to understand it and cure the disease, don’t cure the symptoms. That’s what I say there’s a ton of opportunity, especially in the claim space, never be satisfied beings can always be better and that’s universal.
Wesley Todd [39:07]: Every adjuster is a million-dollar business. They’re shelling out so much money in claims payments, and expenses. Yeah, there’s just they learn so much so fast. And I would just add to that, I definitely agree that go ahead. And it particularly early in your career, just start challenging the status quo. Why are we doing things this way? But yeah, don’t assume that your original idea has any value because it’s, like you said, it’s probably tons of dependencies, and there is some core disease beneath it. And then the question is whether you got a good idea for that too. Because that’s I think, what everybody’s been trying to resolve? I would add to that, and it’s something I’ve learned from being able to talk to you reach out to people, so like you know, reach out to Alex, you could reach out to me, reach out to anybody at any of the tech companies that you work with, and they’ll talk to you all day about, or a lot of them will about what the issue is? It’s in everybody’s best interest to actually get that to the forefront, because the insurance company will be better, the vendor will be better or the prospective vendor you know, might get a new opportunity. So, I mean, I’ve gotten a lot of value from you know, picking up the phone calling you. And I think there’s no, I think you agree, I mean, you could talk to anybody in this industry.
Alex Meisner [40:32]: Oh man, I learned something new every day. It’s endless, insurance is so complicated. And so it’s my favorite part I love, especially talking to adjusters and picking their brains understanding what they’re dealing with, why things are the way they are, it’s exciting. And that’s people forget about insurance. It’s such a great opportunity this industry, because you don’t really think about it, if you’re not part of the industry you know, we both kind of outsiders. And so it’s like, well, there’s a lot that can be done here to make it better. But at the same time, insurance carriers are very important to protect us. So it’s a great industry and I encourage everybody, if you have an idea, try it.
Wesley Todd [41:26]: Oh, yeah. I’ve never people have never been more open to it. If you haven’t, if you don’t feel that way, you just haven’t talked to the right person. Because I know, I’ll hear you out that’s for sure. And I’m sure, Alex would to where there’s definitely, the more information the better. Yeah, well, I, I mean, we could talk for hours as we have in the past. But I really appreciate that. I mean, I think the adjusted attorneys now know why I would bring on a Director of Innovation from a Claims Tech Provider, it’s because these things are evolving, and they’re gonna have direct impact on our work as adjusters and as attorneys in the claims department, in a legal department. You know, I think it’s really important to hear from somebody that’s helping shape the future of what those claim files and what that process and what that experience is going to look like soon and already actually already is to a big extent. And I also think that the journey of you know, first employee at a two person company to now, how many employees is Snapsheet have? Over 300?
Alex Meisner [42:39]: Yeah, right around that number.
Wesley Todd [42:40]: The VP innovation there is inspiring to all of us that there are problems to be solved. And there is value and reward to those who are to go through the grind of trying to solve them. So I really appreciated your insights as always, and I’m sure that the audience did to. The claims process is a tricky and difficult one. It’s nice to hear somebody talk about it constructively, but also fairly. If somebody wants to keep you know, keep up with Snapsheet or with Alex, and while there’s different things you’re working on, how would you recommend they do that?
Alex Meisner [43:18]: Yeah, you can find Snapsheet or myself on LinkedIn. You can go to our website, snapsheetclaims.com or just Google Snapsheet, that’s always the easiest.
Wesley Todd [43:29]: Great. Well, hey, thanks again. Thanks for coming on the podcast. Let’s do it again sometime soon, Alex.
Alex Meisner [43:33]: Thanks for having me, Wes. | <urn:uuid:a8299d9d-a532-4d9e-bc96-384e41ea7f61> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://caseglide.com/podcast/ep5-strategic-claims-management-the-customer-experience-transcript/ | 2023-09-30T00:20:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00099.warc.gz | en | 0.960655 | 9,209 |

Sometimes God takes you on a journey you didn’t Know you needed,
to bring you everything you ever wanted. Trust the Plan.
This quote is a reminder that sometimes the path to our goals and dreams may not always be clear or straight forward. Life can take unexpected twists and turns, and sometimes we may find ourselves on a journey that we never intended or imagined.
However, it’s important to trust that there is a plan in place, whether it’s orchestrated by a higher power or simply the universe itself. Often, the detours and challenges we encounter along the way can teach us valuable lessons, build our resilience, and prepare us for the opportunities that lie ahead.
The quote suggests that, ultimately, the journey we are on is leading us to the things we truly desire in life. It’s easy to become frustrated or discouraged when things don’t go according to plan, but by trusting in the process and having faith that things will work out in the end, we can find peace and comfort in the journey itself.
In essence, this quote is about having patience, faith, and trust in the journey of life, even when it takes us on unexpected paths. By embracing the challenges and opportunities that come our way, we can ultimately arrive at the destination we were meant to reach. | <urn:uuid:ca93dd68-a5e2-48a6-99a4-3d0438f6beea> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://catchsmile.com/sometimes-god-takes-you-on-a-journey/ | 2023-09-29T23:47:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00099.warc.gz | en | 0.943011 | 272 |
Parishes pool capital campaigns with archdiocese
May 16, 2014
Mary Our Queen Parish in Omaha needed to shore up endowment funds.
St. Gerald Parish in Ralston needed repairs to its 55-year-old school building.
Both parishes turned to campaign drives to raise money for their needs. But they combined their parish campaigns with the archdiocese’s Ignite the Faith capital campaign – and saved valuable resources, parish leaders said.
Parishes throughout the archdiocese are rallying volunteers to participate in the $40 million Ignite the Faith campaign, raising money to support Catholic schools, parish religious education programs, vocations and priests in their retirement.
Mary Our Queen and St. Gerald are two parishes capitalizing on the archdiocese’s campaign by combining it with their own efforts, and others are considering a combined campaign, said Shannan Brommer, director of the archdiocese’s Stewardship and Development Office.
Combining the parish campaign with the broader effort saved Mary Our Queen’s parishioners time, energy and labor, said Father Robert English, pastor. "It saved us from doing it twice, setting up two organized efforts."
Brommer said the combined campaigns are "a great opportunity to maximize leadership and participation."
Mary Our Queen began asking for campaign pledges the day after the parish’s 50th anniversary celebration June 16 and continued through mid-December. And parishioners have pledged to make donations over three years.
A core of 61 families served as campaign chairs, captains and volunteers who helped with planning, personal appeals and phone calls. They contacted about 2,300 prospective donors and received about $2.8 million in pledges for the combined campaign, close to the parish goal of nearly $2.9 million, Father English said.
Of the money they raise, $1.2 million will be set aside for the archdiocese’s capital campaign fund; nearly $90,000 to the 2013-14 Archbishop’s Annual Appeal, which was combined into the campaign; and $1.5 million to the parish’s Educational Trust Fund.
St. Gerald began its five-year, $2.6 million "Forge a Future of Faith" campaign in January and has reached $2.15 million in pledges, said Father Owen Korte, pastor.
The parish plans to contribute about $1.4 million to the archdiocese’s campaign and the rest of what it raises for improvements to St. Gerald School’s heating and air conditioning system, roof, windows and doors and some painting and repairs to the church’s doors and windows.
St. Gerald is likely to reach its first three goals and raise $2.29 million in pledges by the time the effort ends May 31, but might not hit the fourth "Miracle Goal" of the full $2.6 million, Father Korte said. That means a restroom renovation at the school probably will have to wait, he said.
Parishioners knew the school and church buildings needed work – "It’s not a glorious thing but a necessary thing," Father Korte said – and they stepped up for the campaign.
"I’m especially happy with the work people have done," he said. "It’s work – good, hard work."
About 75 parishioners organized the funding push, made phone calls and visited with people one-on-one, sometimes at their kitchen tables, he said. They were led by parishioners Nick and Kathy Steinback, Dan and Leslie Thiele and Kevin and Denise McCoy, with professional guidance by TJ Ernst and the Steier Group.
The parish will celebrate its success with a May 28 Mass with Archbishop George J. Lucas, followed by a party with sloppy Joes in the school’s gym, where the campaign total will be announced.
"It’s just a low-key affair," Father Korte said, "but we’re going to celebrate where we are and what we’ll accomplish over the next few years."
At Mary Our Queen, the trust fund being supported by the combined campaign helps the parish elementary school with tuition assistance, teacher salaries, supplies and other costs, and it helps the parish pay for operating expenses and parish-based religious education for children and adults.
Parishioners seriously considered what they could give and were generous, with many willing to sacrifice over the next few years to help Mary Our Queen and the archdiocese, said Lynn Muse, who co-chaired the "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow" campaign with her husband, Brad, and fellow parishioners Phil and Sheryl Fenton, Doug and Kolleen Hoffman and Ed and Kelley Prosser.
Father English agreed. "People stepped up to the plate and contributed."
The timing was right for Mary Our Queen, Muse said.
"We knew as a parish we wanted to embark on a campaign in the near future," said Muse, a parish trustee who is on the parish and finance committees, is an extraordinary minister of holy Communion and a school volunteer.
Muse said the campaign gave her a chance to meet new people, educate them about the campaigns and share her passion for the parish, school and archdiocese. "I think it brought everybody closer together," she said. "We worked for a common cause."
St. Gerald, Mary Our Queen and all the parishes involved in the campaign so far should be proud of their efforts to build up a community of faith, Brommer said.
"They’ve accomplished something very big for their parish and the archdiocese," she said. "They’ve become part of something bigger than themselves."
» $22.8 million has been raised so far.

President-Elect Joe Biden has pledged to end the controversial “Muslim Ban” on the first day of his presidency and the largest US-based Muslim civil rights organization, Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, intends to hold him to that.
The extremely divisive travel bans were instated through executive order in the early days of the Trump presidency and have been derided by critics who refer to them as “Muslim Bans.” In a statement acknowledging the recent Biden victory, Nihad Awad, the CAIR National Executive Director noted:
“CAIR congratulates President-Elect Joe Biden on his electoral victory, and for building an inclusive election campaign focused on the unity of our nation. President-elect Biden has pledged to end the Muslim Ban on his first day in office, include Muslims at every level of his administration and address issues of racial and religious discrimination. We plan to join other American Muslim leaders and organizations in ensuring that the Biden administration fulfills these promises. We also plan to continue holding our government accountable when it errs.”CAIR Statement on 11/7/20
Trump’s Travel Ban, as known as Executive Order 13769 – Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States, currently extends to 13 countries including Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Yemen, Nigeria, Myanmar, Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan, Sudan, Venezuala and Tanzania. The list has evolved over time initially including Iraq and Chad and earlier in 2020 expanding to include Nigeria, Myanmar, Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan, Sudan and Tanzania.
The controversial nature of these travel restrictions is indisputable. In the wake of the initial travel bans, protests broke out along with legal challenges. Thus far, the Trump administration has largely seen their travel restriction policies upheld including a 5 to 4 Supreme Court victory in Trump v. Hawaii where the court essentially found that Trump was acting within his constitutional authority.
The victory may be short-lived as Biden intends to revoke, via executive order, much, if not all, of the Trump travel bans.
During his candidacy, it was a familiar refrain. The DailyMall notes, “A new administration led by Biden would also rescind what the campaign calls ‘the un-American travel and refugees bans, also referred to as “Muslim bansâ€.’
CAIR intends to hold the President-elect to his word. | <urn:uuid:d1c2e402-9ae4-44a5-bbe0-7d7c7d59f741> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://cboardinggroup.com/biden-to-end-trump-muslim-ban-on-day-1/ | 2023-09-29T23:01:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00099.warc.gz | en | 0.965285 | 505 |
Trends within project management
Remember onion and watermelon salad in the 1980s? Or khaki shorts, boat shoes and black plastic chokers of the 90s, followed in the next decade by McMansions and open plan kitchens?
Food, fashion and housing may be more trend-worthy than project management, but believe it or not, it has trends too.
Declan Collins, development manager at project management advisory company HQ Management says the focus of project management has changed and it’s driving innovation to the benefit of business.
“It’s that continual self-reflection and improvement as opposed to the hindsight model, where you deliver the final product and you go ‘like why didn’t that work?’.”
In the past, traditional project management frameworks like PMBOK (project management body of knowledge) or methods like Prince2 have been structured and process-based, providing the basic elements of project management.
The trend now, he says, is a collaborative approach that looks at the end outcome first and tailors the product around user acceptance.
“Pure project management theory is that you have to define scope – if you have air-conditioning and if you change away from that you need change control processes to ensure you will be covered for them,” Collins says.
“One of the bigger trends in project management is the adaptive approach, having less strict procedural elements to really focus on the outcomes.”
He says it’s all about really understanding your client’s needs, understanding the issues and the risks behind everything and then working backwards.
“Ask ‘What is it that you need and how is this issue coming about?’ and then almost going back and start to scope out what you think you need to get done and then bring in the client, relevant stakeholders and end users,” he explains.
Collins says the adaptive nature of managing stakeholders and end user needs is a current trend. There are various project management methodologies and hybrids of these that are becoming more common.
Other trends include:
- further involvement of Artificial Intelligence in project management, which is expected to help workflow and efficiency
- further development and use of analytics tools
- a push for greater Emotional Quotient, or soft skills, as project managers work with more people from diverse backgrounds
- remote and co-working arrangements in teams as people look for more flexible working arrangements
- increased competition and human-centred design.
When taking new trends on board, Collins says the key is to set up your governance structures and have them in place first.
At the start of the project, you need to:
- embed the whole organisational structure to bind your core stakeholders, your managers
- have your working groups and stakeholders identified, and
- establish the project at the beginning.
Otherwise, it becomes very difficult to change and adapt as the project continues.
A good project manager will:
- continually look at other trends and alternatives and see what could improve the process
- absorb the good and bad each project and project management model
- continually interrogate every single aspect of every single project
- always reflect.
“It’s the real driver in organisational change, and that’s what separates you from other project managers,” Collins adds. | <urn:uuid:6b7870f0-538f-4b47-8ee8-1c39f2b74e11> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://cciwa.com/business-toolbox/growth/collaborative-approach-to-project-management/ | 2023-09-29T22:30:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00099.warc.gz | en | 0.943627 | 692 |

I am conflicted about Australia day… I am so incredibly proud of Australia and the fact that I am Australian. My parents made the brave decision to come to here from South America at a time when the Internet was non-existent and long distance phone calls were very expensive and could not be made at home.
I have had a wonderful life in this glorious country and have had many opportunities to live the best life I can.
However, Australia Day doesn’t sit well with me… this day seems to mean something other than pride in the racist bogan minority. They seem to think it’s a day to celebrate white Australia and take the opportunity to intimidate our migrant brethren (including a part of me I guess).
Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of Australia Day is the date… we seem to be celebrating and gloating about what our Aboriginal brothers and sisters call Invasion Day. I’m not sure how we can expect our Aboriginal friends to jump for joy on a day that is celebrating the arrival of their violent oppressors.
In Hawaii they don’t jubilantly celebrate Pearl Harbour Day… they hold remembrance ceremonies and cherish the dead. They don’t hold street parties in Hiroshima on the anniversary of the dropping of the atomic bomb… it is a sombre remembrance of tragedy and suffering.
I don’t claim to have the solution but I do know that something is not quite right. We should have a MASSIVE party and a public holiday to celebrate what it is to be Australian (for all Australian’s black white and in-between) how bloody lucky we are. There has to be a way we can celebrate that includes Indigenous Australia and celebrates their survival.
Happy Australia Day and VIVA AUSTRALIA!

A total of 32 Hillbrook employees made more than $10,000 in overtime pay in 2022 — more than double the number of employees who made that amount in 2021.
The increase came in the same year Onondaga County Comptroller Marty Masterpole audited Hillbrook overtime practices and found issues with how management doled out overtime at the facility.
Masterpole found that one employee, Sandy Masello, took advantage of lax oversight and broke state labor laws 82 times in 2021 to triple her base pay, according to his audit. Masello retired shortly after Central Current published a story about the audit. Masterpole said he thought at the time Masello’s retirement could lead to a decrease in overtime.
However, pay data shows a widespread overtime spike in 2022.
Masterpole said the staffing hadn’t been reduced or altered “by an amount to justify $300,000 in additional overtime.”
“I don’t have a good answer for you,” Masterpole said. “I really don’t know what the answer is. I don’t know why.”
Justin Sayles, a spokesman for the Onondaga County Executive Ryan McMahon, said Hillbrook added two new units and saw a “significant increase” in the number of young people held at the facility.
The increase in capacity and challenges in filling vacancies led administrators to rely more on overtime, Sayles said. The county plans to hire an additional senior counselor by mid-April and multiple part-time positions will be made full-time positions in 2024 to reduce the need for overtime, Sayles said.
Sayles did not respond to follow-up questions about the population and vacancies at Hillbrook.
Increasing problems with overtime at Hillbrook
In the last five years, overtime has increased exponentially. Employees at Hillbrook made $164,280 in overtime pay in 2017. Last year, they racked up $894,138 in overtime pay.
Hillbrook has been audited twice since 2016 by the county comptroller’s office.
In 2016, then-Comptroller Robert Antonacci found a number of problems:
- Employees called in sick and worked anyway to collect compensatory time or overtime.
- A lack of verification that management doled out overtime on a rotating basis.
- Shift supervisors approved their own overtime or failed to get their overtime pre-approved.
- Employees worked more than two 16-hour shifts in one work week.
Masterpole’s 2022 audit found the four problems Antonacci had uncovered still existed.
He made a number of recommendations in his 2022 audit, including matching Hillbrook policies with rules governing overtime in the union’s contract. The union’s contract with the county expired at the end of 2022.
At the time of Masterpole’s audit, the county defended Masello and Hillbrook management, writing that Masello “stepped up” when needed. County officials said in their formal response to Masterpole’s audit that salaries at Hillbrook were high because of the county’s contract with Hillbrook employees’ union and that the overtime was necessary.
They characterized some of Masterpole’s findings as misunderstandings, agreed to make some changes and said they’d re-evaluate the facility’s staffing structure.
It’s unclear if county officials implemented any of Masterpole’s recommendations or made the changes they promised to make.
In the last year, Hillbrook appears to have hired more employees. Pay data kept by the comptroller’s office shows the facility paid 18 more people per week in 2022 than in 2021.
Along with the increase in employees on the payroll, overtime per employee also increased — from about $6,800 in 2021 to about $8,900 in 2022 – to the tune of about 31%.
“You would think that equal to or more staff would mean less overtime,” Masterpole said.
Masterpole said there have been no conversations between his office and the county executive’s office or Hillbrook administration about the audit after its release in May 2022.
Long-term impact of overtime practices
Significant overtime pay costs taxpayers — not just in short-term overtime payments but in long-term pension payments too.
County employees’ pensions are largely based on their salaries in the last 36 months before retirement.
Masello’s base pay was about $68,000, but she made more than $100,000 in just over six months at Hillbrook in 2022. She earned $190,557 and $184,212 in 2020 and 2021, respectively.
Her overtime allows her to collect an annual pension of more than $92,000, higher than her base salary at Hillbrook.
Masello has the sixth-most expensive active pension in Onondaga County, according to a statewide database maintained by the Empire Center.
Over the next 15 years, Masello’s pension could cost taxpayers nearly $1.4 million.

Engaging, Working Through and Ending - A Phase Approach to Complex Trauma in Adolescence: The Case of Annie
Complex trauma has profound effects on the very essence of what it is to be human, and in adolescence, a stage in which far-reaching neurobiological and psychological re organisation normally takes place, the individual is often overtaken by the effects of early trauma that may have been dormant, but is stirred into action, by intrusion of traumatic memories. The phase-model of psychotherapy will particularly take into account, types of trauma, dissociation, the adolescent brain which recent research has shown some startling findings, ending with adolescents, and the case of Anne. The presentation will conclude with a few words on therapist self-care, in view of the fact that vicarious trauma is often overlooked by us as therapists.
At the conclusion of this session participants will be able to:
- Explain assessment of trauma with the clinical case of Anne
- Differentiate single episode trauma from attachment trauma and from complex trauma
- Describe the phasic-model of psychotherapy in an adolescent, along with adolescence as a developmental phase
- Recognize the relevance of transference and countertransference in the therapeutic relationship Explain the difficulties that occur in psychotherapy and must be attended to
- Develop the beginnings of understanding dissociation from the clinical example.
- Recognize that a therapist can be vicariously traumatised and remember that the therapist must take care of her/himself.

According to the report, second largest car manufacturer in India, Hyundai motors has started testing of its popular SUV Creta in India. The spied images have gone viral on the digital platform and the mid-cycle facelift of Hyundai Creta is likely to be launched soon in the country. The Hyundai Creta has been one of Hyundai’s strong seller in the segment and has been company’s one of the best seller since its launch in 2015.
It has been reported that Hyundai currently sells two different versions of the refreshed Hyundai Creta globally. The report mentions that the company is expected to launch to a China-spec similar model for the Indian market.
Visible changes in the Hyundai Creta facelift spied on roads
The spy pics of the refreshed Hyundai Creta reveal that the compact SUV from Hyundai gets a larger hexagonal grille that comes merged with a thick chrome surround. On the lower end, the hexagonal grille mixes with the chunky front bumper that has been redesigned for the more muscular appeal of the new Creta. The redesigned bumper sports creases and gets separate housings for fog lamps.
The compact SUV Creta also gets new thick black chin that further increases the SUV’s muscular manifestation. It is likely that the updated model of the Creta might get a brand new set of alloy wheel design.
The rear bumper of the new Hyundai Creta has also been redesigned and it now gets a slight tweak on the sides. Though the China-spec Hyundai Creta gets Mercedes Benz-like rectangular exhaust tips, but it has now been revealed yet whether the carmaker will introduce the same in the Indian-spec model or not.
Under the hood of the Hyundai Creta facelift, Launch date
Though the spied images reveal only the outer appearance of the new Creta facelift yet it is being speculated that the new Creta SUV might come with 1.6-litre engine in both the petrol as well as the diesel variants. It is also being expected that the new Creta may lose out on the 1.4-litre engine which currently powers the compact SUV from Hyundai.
The company has not announced any official date for the launch of the new Hyundai Creta facelift, but according to the report, the company may showcase the facelift variant of the Creta at the upcoming 2018 Auto Expo in Delhi.

Have you ever been in a season where it felt like you were living groundhog day over and over again? Where you struggle to find joy in the things you once enjoyed? Where you just want to do something other than whatever it is you are doing?
I came to the realization recently that I’m struggling with something, but I’m not quite sure how to explain it except that I just feel blah. Sometimes, I open up my podcast app and I just scroll for something to listen to but nothing is enticing. I’ve started several audio and paperback books but haven’t finished them because I’m meh abotu them. I’m at the point where I hate all the clothes I have and dread having to go certain places at times because of how I look. I’m not overweight, but I’ve become keenly aware of certain parts of my body lately. I’ve probably always had the insecurity, but it’s just more heightened now. Most mornings, my oldest asks where we are going that day and I tell her nowhere because we have to eat breakfast. The truth is I hadn’t even thought past breakfast.
I’m thinking, why do we need to go somewhere?
The twins turned 2.5 and I can see their imaginations growing. They’ve started playing on their own and making up little stories with their trains, cooking meals in their kitchen, and playing with dolls. It’s great, truly wonderful, but at the same time it feels like I’m breaking up fight after fight between them some days. I try my best to not turn the TV on in the morning, but sometimes I have to in order for them to settle down and so that I can focus on getting things ready to leave the house. I find I’m getting overwhelmed, frustrated, and short more quickly by all the things. I have been noticing it sooner so I can remove myself from the situation if needed, but then they follow me or scream “mom, mom, MOM!” Honestly, I’m exhausted, to the point where I’ve set my alarm clock to wake early in order to exercise or have a little more time for me, but I end up turning it off and going back to sleep. Sometimes, without even realizing, I’ve turned it off.
I don’t know where to go from here, but I believe I’ve taken the first step in acknowledging that something is wrong or out of place in my mental space.
A few people have said maybe I need a weekend to myself to get away, but it’s not as simple as that. Maybe I need to start a new wardrobe and find things that I feel confident in, but when do I have time to go clothes shopping? It’s not always as easy shopping online for women as it is for men. Maybe I need a counselor or a good friend to just listen. Maybe I should start a journal where I write down one good thing that happened that day. Maybe I need a fun photoshoot or bake through a cookbook like in the movie Julia and Julia, to give myself some excitement and creativity. I know life isn’t and won’t always be full of surprises and fun every day and that it’s a lot of routine and mundane, especially with kids because they thrive on that. Maybe I’m someone that needs structure and planning too in order to help my mental state. I don’t know, but I know that I don’t like feeling this way. I feel like I’m failing my family and friends because of it. | <urn:uuid:8cefa861-230e-4051-81c4-58e4331bb975> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://chattanoogamoms.com/family-lifestyle/a-season-of-melancholy/ | 2023-09-30T00:08:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00099.warc.gz | en | 0.972577 | 772 |
The Festival flies by in the blink of an eye. Here we are, hurtling towards the Gold Cup already and we think this year’s event will be an absolute stunner.
Last year’s 1-2-3 all challenge again, along with another 2021 Festival winner and a new kid on the block we reckon will have a big say.
1.30 (Triumph Hurdle – Grade 1) – VAUBAN
One way or another, the opening race revolves around Vauban.
Today’s challengers Fil Dor, Il Etair Temps and Icare Allen were all in behind him when he won his Grade 1 at Leopardstown last time, while he and Pied Piper fought out the finish on their respective debuts.
That collective form seems stronger than that of the British challengers Porticello and Knight Salute, though the former won easily last time and the latter remains unbeaten to this point.
On their second starts, Vauban and Pied Piper once again ran to very similar levels. Though Pied Piper won easily at Cheltenham, Vauban was impressive in beating Grade 1 performers and despite being beaten half a length on debut by his main rival, he was hampered all the way down the straight and is probably, overall, just the better horse.
2.10 (County Handicap Hurdle – Grade 3) – WEST CORK
State Man is all the rage and could be anything in handicap company, while Bloomfield Burg didn’t settle well enough last time and remains of serious interest.
We do love the Greatwood form from last November though and the winner of that contest, West Cork, can go in here.
Adagio, Camprond, Tritonic, Glory And Fortune and Marie’s Rock were all in behind that day and it’s obvious Dan Skelton’s runner has more to give. I Like To Move It may also have a strong each-way chance.
2.50 (Albert Bartlett Novices’ Hurdle – Grade 1) – HILLCREST
Ginto is an incredibly strong contender after his three hurdle wins so far, including one in a Grade 1 race.
He had to pull out his best to win that though and it often means there isn’t as much improvement left as we’d like, while the form of Hillcrest is equally as impressive anyway, maybe even better.
Henry Daly’s seven-year-old won the Prestige Novices’ Hurdle with some ease last month and has been primed for this contest. The Nice Guy, Minella Cocooner and Bardenstown Lad may also have a say.
3.30 (Cheltenham Gold Cup – Grade 1) – PROTEKTORAT
A cracker of a renewal. It may be safe to rule out Santini, Aye Right, Asterion Forlonge and Chantry House, while Royale Pagaille will have supporters but also has it all to do. Tornado Flyer is interesting, but again might prove to be just not quite good enough.
Al Boum Photo has won this race twice, was an admirable third last year and is back for another go, while A Plus Tard suffered a heart-breaking close defeat to Minello Indo in 2021 and all are back to challenge.
Many believe this race comes down to A Plus Tard and Galvin after the two fought out a tight finish in the Savills Chase in December, and it just might work out that way too. Galvin and A Plus Tard are at strikingly similar points in their respective careers as well.
Al Boum Photo was the first horse to win the Gold Cup back-to-back since Best Mate and it’s notoriously difficult for Gold Cup winners to come back and do it again. After what they went through last year, can we treat both Minella Indo and A Plus Tard like winners? That’s an interesting thought.
With that in mind and remembering that it is so often a fresher, younger and improving horse that nabs the established runners in this race, Protektorat is brought into the equation in a big way.
Dan Skelton’s runner hacked up by 25 lengths in the Many Clouds Chase at Aintree and it could have been a lot more. He stays incredibly well, can handle deep ground if it turns out that way and has had just seven chase starts which include four wins, two defeats in unsatisfactory small fields and a great second off top weight in the Paddy Power Gold Cup.
Galvin will stay all day as well, but it strikes us that Protektorat was at a better level on his debut chase, his second chase and after seven races than both A Plus Tard and Galvin and he may be the answer to this at a nice price for Dan and Harry Skelton.
4.10 (Festival Challenge Cup Open Hunters’ Chase – Class 2) – WINGED LEADER
Much like the Cross Country race, the Hunters’ Chase is often a hard one to predict. We are often dealing with older horses and their public form can read a little in and out.
For varying reasons, it was hard for us to split Bob And Co, Pont Aven and Billaway, the latter having run second in this race twice over.
David Christie’s Winged Leader on the other hand is younger, in terrific form and is indeed improving all the time unlike the others. He beat Billaway by 12 lengths last time and may repeat the trick.
4.50 (Mares’ Chase – Grade 2) – ZAMBELLA
Elimay is favourite for the Mares’ Chase, just as she was last year when she was beaten by only a half-length.
She hasn’t been in the best of form since though and it may be that, even under a 3lb penalty, Concertista is the better-fancied of the two Willie Mullins runners. Mount Ida is interesting but can jump out to the right, but Zambrella looks very solid to us.
Nigel Twiston-Davies’ mare won a Listed race very easily two runs ago and faced nothing but a public piece of work last time. We don’t know where her ceiling is, but it is certainly likely to make her competitive here.
5.30 (Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle – Class 2) – LANGER DAN
We backed Langer Dan in this race last year after his Imperial Cup win and he only just missed out.
He’s had a quieter time of things this season, taking in the same prep race as he did last year but missing out on the Sandown spectacular to stay fresh for today. He can round off what might be a great day for the Skeltons in style.
The challengers are many and include Earlofthecotswolds, Cobblers Dream, Banbridge and I A Connect. | <urn:uuid:e10fac43-2bbc-4c20-8be1-9f6309fc120e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://cheltenhambettingblog.blogspot.com/2022/03/ | 2023-09-29T23:37:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00099.warc.gz | en | 0.971857 | 1,478 |
Possible sources of impurities in the recrystallization process can be described in terms of phenomena occuring during coprecipitation and which are the basis of gravimetry:
- inclusion (impurity occupies positions in the crystal lattice);
- occlusion (impurity is physically captured within the crystal as it has been growing);
- adsorption (impurity is adsorbed on the surface layer of the crystal);
- postprecipitation (impurity forms secondary solid phase once recrystallization of the target stopped/slowed down).
Washing crystals with a fluid only addresses the last two phenomena, adsorbance and postprecipitation. Postprecipitation is rarely a problem as it occurs on a large time scale or when a really poor solvent has been chosen.
Properties of the washing liquid vastly depend on the properties of the compound being recrystallized. In the simplest case it's the same solvent (as in your example), but it can also be an electrolyte, hydrolysis suppressor or another solvent (e.g. distilled water) altogether.
As for the temperature of the washing liquid, it's actually better to use many small portions of the hot solvent as filtration of the hot solutions happens much faster, surface adsorption decreases with the temperature and removal of mother solution from the surface is faster. However, if solubility of the recrystallized product is significantly increasing with the temperature (and this is typically the case), then one has to sacrifice the efficiency of the washing process for the better yield and use cold solvent instead.
Impurities, insoluble in the cold solvent, are practically not an issue. First, recrystallization starts from a homogeneous solution. Second, before crystals are washed, they are separated from the mother solution so that only minor amount of it is left on the crystals' surface, and if there were any impurities, they don't get a chance to nucleate as their concentration in washing solvent is going to be negligible.
As for your perception of the recrystallization as of a "weird" process, I'd say it's probably more complicated than one would expect from looking at the beaker with some crystalline mess. In fact, underlying processes are described with more or less appropriate models, and once a person
gets experienced enough, it all starts to make much more sense. | <urn:uuid:c4c07a8f-0546-4351-a015-2b798fc263b6> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://chemistry.stackexchange.com/questions/74581/why-is-the-solid-product-washed-with-ice-cold-solvent-during-in-the-last-stages/107855 | 2023-09-29T23:57:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00099.warc.gz | en | 0.954552 | 499 |
In St Peter’s Square, Rome, on May 30 1998, Chiara was among the four founders who spoke at the first international meeting of ecclesial movements and new communities. Over 350,000 people took part. Thanking the Pope for the support received over time, she addressed John Paul II with a promise: “We know that the Church desires full communion among movements, and their unity which, moreover, has already begun. But we assure you, Your Holiness, that, since our specific charism is unity, we will strive with all our strength to contribute to achieving it fully”. Subsequently, at the local and national level, 282 gatherings were held with the involvement of more than 325 Movements and more than half a million people.
The following year, on October 26, 2000, in Assisi, Chiara initiated a journey of fellowship between ancient and new charisms, beginning with the Franciscan family. During her journey to Spain, after visiting the places associated with its great saints, Ignatius of Loyola, Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross, on 28 November 2002, Chiara met the spiritual children of Saint Benedict, another great founder, at the invitation of Abbot Josep M. Soler of Montserrat. | <urn:uuid:ceae9069-70e2-4ebe-b844-22fe78e80393> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://chiaralubich.org/en/postbiografia/1998-in-dialogo-con-le-realta-ecclesiali/ | 2023-09-30T00:32:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00099.warc.gz | en | 0.971575 | 265 |

Let's take a BIG look at Epilepsy. Let's review what we KNOW, what it MEANS, and how we can COMMUNICATE and SERVE these patients.
They need us, they need hope - it's our responsibility to get them to YES.
And it's even more important to deliver on the promise. | <urn:uuid:da9ef712-662c-45fd-87de-c795383909da> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://chiroedge.libsyn.com/e56-epilepsy-building-a-clinical-picture | 2023-09-29T23:59:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510529.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20230929222230-20230930012230-00099.warc.gz | en | 0.956428 | 74 |
