Chief Minister Jaganmohan Reddy’s grand plan of shifting the capital from Amaravati to Visakhapatnam (Vizag) has suffered a setback, though temporarily. He cannot immediately relocate the secretariat, the seat of power to Vizag.
In a curious turn of events, Jagan’s decentralisation of capital plans were put paid to first by the Telugu Desam Party (TDP)-dominated Legislative Council and later by the High Court of Andhra Pradesh.
While the Council chairman MA Shariff referred the two bills namely AP Decentralization Bill and the CRDA Repeal Bill to the select committee, based on this, the AP High Court bench led by Chief Justice JK Maheswari asked the state not to shift the capital until the bills get the nod of the Upper House.
These two developments triggered a wave of protests on one side and celebrations on the other. Amaravati farmers, who were responsible for the case against capital shifting in the High Court, staged demonstrations, stating this as the first victory.
Many Muslim leaders praised the decision of Chairman MA Shariff as a heroic one and bathed his portrait in milk. TDP supremo Chandrababu Naidu was all praise of his team in the Council and expressed confidence that Amaravati could be saved from being stripped of its status as the capital.
On the other side, chief minister Jagan vowed to take revenge on the Council for not bowing down to the decision of the elected government. He argues the Council has no business other than extending support to the government. He said the government would explore the possibility of scrapping the Upper House altogether which he dubbed as a useless body full of members with no sense of responsibility. He also said the Council was draining the exchequer to the tune of Rs 60 crore a year.
Finance minister Buggana Rajendranath dubbed the day when Chairman referred the matter to the select committee as a black day. All kinds of abuses were hurled at the Chairman.
Demonstrations were staged protesting the Council’s decision. The homes of TDP leaders were picketed.
While the ruling YSR Congress argues that the Chairman had no power to exercise discretionary power to stall the passage of the bills and refer them to the select committee, the TDP asserts that the chairman was well within the powers under rule 154 when he used his discretion to refer the bills to the select committee.
YSRC cried foul stating that the chairman took instructions from Naidu who sat in the Council gallery.
Caught in the crossfire, the Council now is facing uncertainty. The ruling YSRC is preparing to mould public opinion in favour of scrapping the Council for the second time after it was first constituted in 1950.
A Turbulent History Of The Legislative Council
All autocrats appear to carry the same gene. They personify the “I am the people” attitude. They cannot stand a rival opinion. Liquidation of institutions is their primary tool.
The era of autocracy entered Andhra politics with the advent of the Telugu Desam Party which captured power by beating the multicentre Congress in 1983. Without exception, all the elected chief ministers, ever since, turned into autocrats and camouflaged it with immense populism.
The first casualty of autocratic politics has been the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Council.
After coming to power, in 1983 the first thing TDP supremo NT Ramarao tried to do is to abolish the Legislative Council. The AP Assembly passed a resolution on 24 March 1983 demanding the abolition of the Legislative Council on the pretext of economy.
The proposal, however, was rejected by the union government. But a private members’ bill was introduced in Lok Sabha on 18 November 1983 and another was introduced in the Lok Sabha on 24 February 1984 seeking the abolition of the Legislative Council of the state.
Later Tamil Nadu’s DMK (Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam) leader Era Sezhiyan also raised the matter in Rajya Sabha in March 1984 by way of Calling Attention Notice. The issue figured in Lok Sabha again on 22 August in 1984. The Centre refused to entertain the matter citing Article 169. According to the centre, Article 169 of the Constitution does not impose any obligation on the government of India to initiate legislation in the parliament for the purpose.
The fact is that the Congress (I) government at the centre was in no way interested in abolishing the AP Legislative Council, where it was in a majority.
But after the 1984 parliamentary elections and the 1985 mid-term polls to the AP Legislative Assembly, in which Congress (I) miserably failed, NT Ramarao reportedly struck a deal with Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.
He extended support to the Anti-Defection bill (52nd Constitution Amendment) piloted by Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi-led government in parliament. He was the only non-Congress chief minister to support the bill. In reciprocation, Rajiv Gandhi allowed the passage of the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Council (Abolition) Bill, 1985.
Many argue that NTR’s fear that the razor-thin majority of 165 in a House of 294, would make it difficult for TDP to get its pet bills passed in a House where Congress was in a majority. So, he wanted to get rid of the Council.
Later, the Congress which came to power in 1989 sought to revive it. But the United Front government headed by VP Singh, in which TDP was the partner, scuttled the move citing the same Article 169.
The state Congress had to wait till the arrival of UPA government in 2004. Having won the 2004 election with a huge majority, Congress chief minister YS Rajasekhar Reddy made a successful attempt to revive it.
The Assembly had adopted a resolution seeking the revival of the Legislative Council despite opposition by the TDP, CPM and others.
A resolution seeking revival of Andhra Pradesh Legislative Council was approved in the UPA dominated Parliament in 2005 and the Upper House came to into existence in 2006.
The Andhra Pradesh Legislative Council came into existence on 07 July 1958 under Article 168 of the Constitution and it was inaugurated by the then President Dr Babu Rajendra Prasad. The first to occupy the chair of the Upper House was Madapati Hanumantha Rao.
Now, the Upper House of the state is all set to fall victim again to the wrath of chief minister Jaganmohan Reddy. | <urn:uuid:f207b302-17e5-4f12-b3e7-93a09f1bad14> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://thelede.in/jagan-blocked-from-implementing-3-capital-plan/ | 2024-04-24T03:58:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.969765 | 1,343 |

Now that you have gathered all of the necessary ingredients, we can move on to the most exciting part: cooking! The beauty of this spinach-artichoke hummus recipe is its simplicity. With just a few steps, you will have a yummy and healthy snack that is perfect for any occasion.
Step 1: Prep the Ingredients
First, we will need to prep our ingredients. Drain and rinse one can of chickpeas (15 oz) and set them aside. Make sure to get rid of any excess water to avoid a runny texture. Then, prepare your frozen spinach by thawing it in the microwave or on the stovetop as per directions on the package. Finely chop fresh garlic cloves into small pieces or mince them with a garlic press. Finally, grab your can or jar of marinated artichoke hearts (14-15 oz) and drain off the liquid.
Step 2: Blend Ingredients in Food Processor or Blender
In this step, all the ingredients should be combined in a food processor or blender. You should place your drained and rinsed chickpeas, thawed spinach, minced garlic cloves, lemon juice (2 tbsp), tahini (3 tbsp), and artichoke hearts in the bowl of a food processor or blender.
Step 3: Add Olive Oil for Texture
Gradually drizzle in olive oil (3 tbsp) as you blend until the mixture reaches a smooth consistency with no large chunks visible. Scrape down the sides of the equipment with a rubber spatula once or twice throughout this process.
Step 4: Adjust Seasonings to Your Liking
Taste your spinach-artichoke hummus dip and adjust any seasoning to your preference according to saltiness level and tang. For extra flavor, add more lemon juice or minced garlic. If you’d like more body or earthy flavor, try incorporating some smoked paprika powder.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
Your delicious spinach-artichoke hummus dip is now finished! Transfer it into a bowl or container for serving, with a sprinkle of smoked paprika or snipped chives as decoration if you’d like! This hummus good at room temperature but can also be chilled beforehand for around two hours for serving later on. Pair this dip with gluten-free crackers or fresh vegetable sticks for an appetizer perfect for dinner parties or potlucks. Enjoy!
Substitutions and Variations
Are you looking to add a twist to your Spinach-Artichoke Hummus recipe? Here are some substitutions and variations that can make this recipe even more interesting.
First off, if you don’t have access to frozen spinach, fresh spinach works just as well. But remember to cook it down first before adding it into your food processor or blender.
For those who prefer something tangier or zestier, try adding in some sun-dried tomatoes, red pepper flakes, or roasted red peppers. These will add an extra kick of flavor that will definitely stand out.
If you’re looking for a way to make your Spinach-Artichoke Hummus creamier, consider using mayo instead of tahini. Additionally, feel free to experiment with different types of cheese; mozzarella cheese or feta cheese are great options that complement the taste of the artichokes.
Lastly, for those following a low-carb or diabetic diet, substitute the traditional chickpeas with garbanzo beans. These come in at a lower glycemic index than chickpeas and are super tasty when blended with the other ingredients.
Regardless of what substitution or variation you choose, be sure to taste along the way to ensure that your recipe remains balanced in terms of flavor and texture.
Serving and Pairing
I love serving Spinach-Artichoke Hummus as a healthy snack or as an appetizer at gatherings. It’s a great way to get your guests to try something new and different! This hummus has a creamy texture that pairs well with crunchy pita chips, crackers or raw veggies like celery, cucumber or baby carrots.
It’s also incredibly versatile and can be used in a variety of ways. Try adding a dollop of it on top of your salad for some added protein or use it as a spread on your favorite sandwich or wrap. You can even use it as a pasta sauce for a healthy twist on regular old pasta – the possibilities are endless!
If you’re feeling fancy, try making little hummus cups by scooping the hummus out with a melon baller and placing it inside endive leaves. Top them off with some diced tomatoes, chopped fresh herbs, or even crumbled feta cheese for a burst of flavor and color.
As for drinks, I recommend pairing this hummus with a refreshing glass of iced tea or sparkling water. It’s the perfect balance between savory and refreshing and is sure to impress your guests. Overall, Spinach-Artichoke Hummus is a delicious and healthy snack that is perfect for any occasion – whether you’re entertaining guests or just looking for a quick bite to eat!
Make-Ahead, Storing and Reheating
One of the reasons why I love making this Spinach-Artichoke Hummus Recipe is because it can be made ahead of time, which makes it a perfect snack or appetizer for any gathering. If you need to make it a day or two before the event, you can easily store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This hummus can last up to five days when refrigerated properly.
To reheat the dip, simply transfer it to an oven-safe dish and preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake it for around 10 minutes until heated through. Alternatively, you can reheat it in the microwave for two minutes.
If you want to enjoy this dip during the week without having to make it each day, this recipe can be perfect for you! It’s easy to store and reheat, so you can keep enjoying it whenever you want.
When reheating the spinach-artichoke hummus, some separation may occur because of the oil, which is completely normal. Once reheated, stir it gently and add a bit more olive oil while still hot to get back that creamy consistency.
I have also found that this hummus recipe freezes extremely well. Just transfer it into an airtight container leaving enough room so it won’t overflow and freeze for up to 3 months. You just need to let it thaw overnight in your fridge before reheating or serving.
This Spinach-Artichoke Hummus Recipe can come in handy when unexpected guests arrive at your party or when you want a healthy snack without any hassle. Once prepared and stored well, this dip is ready to serve whenever you need it.
Tips for Perfect Results
As an Israeli chef, I want to share with you some essential tips that will guarantee a perfect outcome when you make spinach-artichoke hummus. Here are some of my favorite tips to help you elevate your culinary experience:
Firstly, make sure that all your ingredients are at room temperature before starting the process. Cold ingredients tend to make the hummus thick and result in a grainy texture. On the other hand, room-temperature ingredients will blend together smoothly, thus creating a perfect creamy consistency.
Secondly, it’s important to adjust the garlic based on individual preferences. While some might love garlic, others may not be keen on its taste or find it too overpowering. Therefore, start by adding one clove of garlic at the beginning of the blending process, then taste and adjust accordingly. A good tip is to use fresh garlic rather than pre-chopped, as this tends to be more potent.
Thirdly, when blending the chickpeas, spinach and artichokes in a food processor or blender, remember to keep an eye on the texture. For a smooth result, pulse in short increments while scraping down the sides. Avoid over-blending as this can break down the fibers and lead to a gritty texture.
Fourthly, don’t skip the tahini! It’s crucial for achieving that nutty flavor and creamy texture that make hummus so irresistible. When using tahini in your recipe, stir it well before measuring as it tends to separate and settle at the bottom of the jar.
Fifthly, acidity is essential for balanced flavors in hummus so don’t be shy with lemon juice. Adjust it gradually until you get just the right balance of tartness and nutty flavor.
Lastly, give your hummus time to rest! While it might be tempting to dive straight into serving it as soon as possible after making it, taking some time for cooling will allow flavors to meld together and lead to better taste.
By following these tips when making spinach-artichoke hummus you’ll be sure to have a delicious and satisfying dish each time you try it!
As an Israeli chef, I understand that trying a new recipe could come with questions or doubts.

Letter: Growing concern over the environment
To The Editor:
Last week, Trudeau’s Environment Minister Catherine McKenna told CTV that the Liberal government is sticking with (former Prime Minister Stephen) Harper’s embarrassing, science-free climate targets.
These are targets she herself has previously referred to as “unambitious” and “the floor, not the ceiling” of what Canada should be doing.
This comes from a government elected on promises to tackle the climate crisis and undo Harper’s destructive climate legacy.
“This news is nothing short of a disaster for the climate,” said Elizabeth May, Leader of the Green Party.
A next step in motivating governments and corporations to take the growing threat of an unstable climate seriously comes from the International Criminal Court which announced it will extend its focus on crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes to crimes against the environment.
The Court may address the theft and exploitation of natural resources, contamination of the environment, and exploitation of resources requiring the unlawful ejection of peoples from their lands.
Standing Rock North Dakota in the U.S and the Site C dam in British Columbia, among other locations, could fall under international regulation and criminal charges.
It’s terribly tragic that it must come to this. | <urn:uuid:c1737c40-c5c5-4446-b204-30d954c395d8> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://thenelsondaily.com/2016/09/letter-growing-concern-over-environment-42672/ | 2024-04-24T03:18:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.949272 | 267 |
Youths of Bopolu, Gbarpolu County have expressed frustration in their lawmakers and local authorities for neglecting the county. The Secretary General of the Gbarpolu University Student Association or GUSA Gabriel Lewis, said the youths are frustrated and no longer have confidence in those elected and selected to serve the county.
He told this paper over the weekend in Gbarpolu County that people living in that part of Liberia are disconnected from all social services. Lewis narrated that the county is faced with many challenges, including illegal mining, bad labor practices, poor education system as well as division between the local authorities and the county legislative caucus.
“We are suffering in the hands of our authorities and our lawmakers; they are not treating us well; my brother, can you believe that people are living Gbarpolu like they are not living in Liberia.
How far is Gbarpolu to Monrovia, but we are living like this is not our own land. Poor education system and our big people we put there are not properly representing us; just visit the mining area and see babies, I am talking about children under age suffering to get food to sustain themselves and their parents,” he lamented.
He warned that if the county authorities and the legislative caucus do not resolve their difference and work for the common good of the people of Gbarpolu, the entire county could be headed for doom. | <urn:uuid:837464f8-be87-4051-936b-bc6b4c7cec10> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://thenewdawnliberia.com/gbarpolu-youths-express-frustration/ | 2024-04-24T02:44:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.969309 | 296 |

According to a recent report by the BBC, a company called Atom Limbs is developing a revolutionary new bionic arm that utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to provide a more natural and intuitive experience for users.1 The company claims that its arm will be priced at around $20,000, which, while still expensive, is significantly less than many other bionic products on the market.
The Atom Limbs arm uses advanced sensors and machine learning algorithms to interpret electrical signals from a person’s brain and move the prosthetic limb accordingly. It has a full range of human motion in the elbow, wrist, and individual fingers, and provides haptic feedback to the wearer on their grip strength.
The arm attaches to the wearer via a strengthened sportswear-style vest, which distributes the weight of the arm evenly. Despite being lighter than many other bionic arms, it still requires some effort to use, and the company is working to improve the ergonomics and comfort of the device.
One of the biggest challenges facing the development of bionic limbs is the cost. Many disabled people are unable to afford these expensive devices, which can cost multiple times the average annual salary. However, Atom Limbs hopes to make its arm more accessible by pricing it at a relatively affordable $20,000.
Ian Adam, a lecturer in prosthetics and orthotics at the University of Derby, believes that while the price may still be prohibitive for some, it is a good price for the industry. He notes that patients often have to carefully consider how they spend their money, especially when it comes to expensive medical devices.
Tilly Lockey, a social media star who has been using bionic arms since she was nine years old, is excited about the potential of the Atom Limbs arm, but stresses the importance of testing and user feedback in the development process. She believes that the success of the device will depend on how well it performs in real-world scenarios.
In conclusion, the Atom Limbs bionic arm represents a significant advancement in prosthetic technology, offering a more natural and intuitive experience for users. While the cost remains a challenge, the company’s efforts to make the device more accessible are promising. Further testing and development are needed to ensure that the arm meets the needs of users, but the future of prosthetics looks bright. | <urn:uuid:3cae3b32-cc8a-4f02-8d2a-45ca1f396bb6> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://theprimevoice.com/the-bionic-prosthetic-arm-powered-by-ai/ | 2024-04-24T02:53:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.956188 | 480 |
Arif Jafar, the Managing Director of Bharosa Trust, faced arrest in 2001 under Section 377. Even before the formal recording of his arrest, police officers assaulted him for promoting homosexuality. He subsequently became one of the individuals challenging India's top court to review the 2013 decision under which homosexuality was considered a crime. Following this, the court overturned the law in 2018, decriminalising homosexuality. Today, the judiciary is continuing to emerge as a groundbreaking force, strengthening and affirming the rights of the LGBTQIA+ community.
The struggle of lesbian couple Sumayya and Afeefa
“The Kerala High Court has protected the lesbian couple Sumayya and Afeefa not once, but twice. In India, while governments are turning their backs on the LGBTQIA+ community, the courts have been providing a glimmer of hope to thousands of members of the community,” says Gargi Harithakam, Secretary of the Vanaja Collective.
Gargi Harithakam, Secretary of the Vanaja Collective speaks to The Probe's Sweekriti Agrawal
Later, on June 5, Sumayya filed a habeas corpus petition in the High Court of Kerala. The court promptly ordered that Afeefa be produced on June 9. On that day, the lawyer representing Afeefa requested a 10-day extension, citing that Afeefa was receiving treatment. She was eventually produced before the court on June 19, where she stated that she wanted to stay with her parents. However, on June 24, a troubling twist occurred when Afeefa sent messages to Sumayya, revealing that she was undergoing forced conversion therapy. She also indicated that she had been coerced by her family into making false statements in court. Afeefa's alarming messages included a plea to Sumayya that if she did not hear from her for a span of 5 to 6 hours, immediate assistance should be sent, signalling that she was in grave danger.
“Sumayya sent screenshots of her message to Vanaja Collective, and we promptly sent a complaint to the Women’s Protection Officer of Malappuram and to the ASP of Kondotty, stating that Afeefa’s life was in danger. We provided them with the proof, and Afeefa was rescued the next day. In front of the police and the officers from the woman and child welfare department, Afeefa's parents left with the girl in the car. We managed to capture a video of the incident, and after airing it on local media, it became a huge issue. Kerala ministers then started calling the Kondotty police station, and finally, that night itself, Afeefa was produced before the police station, where she stated that she wanted to go with Sumayya. The couple is now staying together, but threats continue to surround them. These girls are with us, and we are considering relocating them safely somewhere. We are also exploring employment options and opportunities for higher education for them,” narrates Gargi.
The curious case of lesbian couple Adhila and Noora
Adhila Nasarin and Fathima Noora became a focal point of attention in Kerala last year when they were reunited by a court order after being torn apart by their families. The couple had gone to the Kerala High Court to fight against their families' resistance to their relationship, and the court reunited the duo on May 31 last year. Like in the case of Sumayya and Afeefa, even in this case, one of the girls was abducted by her own family and was subjected to forced conversion therapy.
Once again, the couple's story drew a lot of attention when they posed for a wedding photoshoot. The couple are among several queer couples who have participated in such photoshoots in recent years.
Though India decriminalised homosexuality in 2018, members of the LGBTQIA+ community in the country are still fighting for their rights to marry, adopt, and lead a normal life. In May this year, the Supreme Court reserved its verdict on same-sex marriages. Advocate Aneesh Kalarikkal, who represented Adhila and Noora and later also represented Sumayya and Afeefa, says he is shocked at the similarities in both cases, as well as the apathy displayed by the system and society. He states that it was only the court that intervened to protect the lesbian couples in both instances.
"It is the courts that are the only hope for the members of the LGBTQIA+ community. The magistrate recorded Sumayya and Afeefa's statements, in which both expressed their desire to be together, insisting that nothing could separate them. Based on this, the magistrate granted them liberty, and they started living together in Ernakulam. Despite this, Afeefa was kidnapped by her family. When she was again produced before the court, she exhibited suspicious behaviour. Later, we got to know that she was drugged. She was subjected to conversion therapy. The girls are even today under significant political and family pressure.
When Transgender Individuals Are Subjected to Mob Lynching
Anil, a transgender person who works with an IT firm in Hyderabad and the founder of the Mobbera Foundation - which works for the LGBTQIA+ community - has been a victim of conversion therapy.
“When I started the foundation and was still working for the LGBTQ community, my parents found out about my activity. They hospitalised me and I was subjected to physical and verbal abuse. When they took me to a psychiatrist in a famous Hyderabad hospital, they asked me to sign a bond stating that the hospital management was not responsible for anything that happened to me during the shock treatment that was going to be administered on me. My parents agreed to this, but I wasn't ready, and for that reason, I was abused and assaulted. My phone was taken away, and I was subjected to constant physical abuse. So, I ran away,” narrates Anil.
In Anil’s situation, it was the judiciary that provided rescue, but he highlights that most queer persons cannot afford to seek justice through the courts due to the costs involved. Additionally, he emphasises that finding queer-affirmative lawyers is a challenging task. Tinesh Chopade, the Associate Director of Advocacy for the Humsafar Trust, has been leading the fight for LGBTQIA rights. He believes that the judiciary is the sole beacon of hope, and members of the queer community are relying on the Supreme Court for a favorable verdict in the same-sex marriage case.
“The courts are our only hope. In the past, there have been several instances where even government officials and parliamentarians, who frame our laws, demonstrated limited knowledge and understanding of different gender identities and sexual orientations. For the LGBTQIA community in India today, turning to the judiciary is the only path forward. We do conduct many sensitisation workshops, but we face genuine challenges on the ground. For instance, it can be extremely difficult for a trans person to inherit property from their biological family after transitioning genders. By engaging in conversations with college students, we hope to better prepare them for the future. That's how we try to bridge the gap with efforts like sensitisation workshops,” asserts Tinesh.
Tinesh’s Trust has been dedicated to advancing equal rights for the LGBTQIA+ community. A prominent example of this commitment is their 18-year-long struggle to overturn Section 377. Another substantial achievement is their role along with numerous other community members in the passage of the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act of 2019. Today, Tinesh and his team are focusing on advocating for marriage equality. As one of the petitioners in the Supreme Court, they are working towards presenting an accurate narrative in the top court.

The SoCalCross race was a great way to spend my last day in LA. I met a ton of great people, saw old friends and made new ones, all while shooting photos of people racing cross in the beautiful hills of Griffith Park. Cross in LA is a growing scene and while it may not be as muddy as the Northwest, It’s one hell of a ride.
Check out more below!

This is certainly the best outcome that the Sixers’ front office and their fan base could hope for. This gave the club flexibility to make other moves this offseason such as the additions of P.J. Tucker, Danuel House Jr., and Trevelin Queen. Now the question becomes, what to expect from Harden on during this new contract.
Harden re-signs with the Sixers, now what should fans expect from him.
It’s clear that during last season once he came to the 76ers, Harden struggled with health and finding his offense in head coach Doc Rivers’ system. He now has a full offseason on improving his health and condition, while becoming more comfortable with the system.
Should fans expect MVP-level play from Harden? No, however, could Philly get a more efficient shooting version of the Harden that was on the court for the Sixers last season. With the emergence of Tyrese Maxey, Harden could very well be the third-leading scorer on the Sixers, which is fine as long as he’s efficient doing so and leading the club in assists.
Another aspect of this signing to consider is that this gives Harden’s legacy some positive light considering he’s pushed his way out of two separate teams in two season. Taking roughly $15 million less than player option he opted out of shows he’s a team player.
This was a smart deal for Harden and the Sixers, now it will be interesting to see if Philly does moving forward. | <urn:uuid:dfd35011-4b69-4487-9ffa-8cb93514b7fa> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://thesixersense.com/2022/07/09/james-harden-re-signs-with-the-sixers-for/ | 2024-04-24T03:42:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.980592 | 310 |

Château Haut Tropchaud Pomerol 2021
The small vineyard plot of Haut Tropchaud is encircled and squeezed in by the more widely known Pomerol vineyards of Le Pin, Certan, Petrus and Trotanoy, that's some pedigree to have as your immediate neighbours, but Haut Tropchaud is in no way being pushed about, in fact bang for buck it’s a real steal compared to its revered neighbours.
The Haut Tropchaud does not disappoint, in the glass it’s inky and deep as a dark night, with rich luxurious dark brooding fruits and a chunk full of oaky vanilla. This wine will only get better over time and will age well for a couple of decades, but if you don’t have that much patience, or storage, it will drink just great with 4 to 6 hours decanting, a perfect pairing for a winter dinner or sitting by the fire.

This is an excerpt from my book - The World Of Slimming.
It was never going to be the happiest entrance I had ever made. How bad could it be? Well as it turned out, it was dreadful! My nearest and dearest having already attended for the last two weeks had offered me comfort and encouragement of a sort. But now I was being dragged along to the group. It takes 127 seconds for me to walk begrudgingly from my front door to the door of Bluebrook Park Hall. I timed it, twice! It takes 59 seconds to walk home by the same route.
There were signs outside the hall with arrows pointing towards the entrance saying ‘Fat People This Way!’. OK they didn’t say that, but it felt like it. Then on reaching the inner door to the hall there was a stand-up promotional sign with cut out people scowling and looking miserable at having to join Slimming World. OK, they looked disgustingly happy and cheerful. I’m just saying how I felt.
I hoped that no one would notice me or make a fuss as I reluctantly and nervously entered the room, but that didn’t work out at all. Mandy-Lace was primed and well prepared by my nearest and dearest. She was ready with a loud exclamation of joy and a huge, enthusiastic hug.
“This is the lovely Ken who I have known for many years.” She announced to the onlooking crowd of big people. She grabbed me by the hand and led me to a curved line of chairs which was apparently the ‘New Members’ area. Mandy-Lace gloriously and efficiently talked me through the ins and outs of how to succeed with the Slimming World eating system. I was quite bright and clever at school many years ago, being good at quadratic equations and calculus, but this day I couldn’t understand a word of what she was saying. My mind was on other things.
There were indeed, many distractions within the Bluebrook Park Hall. People were queuing up in one part of the room to pay their sub fees and other people were getting weighed.
Some were giving each other high fives and cheering having lost weight, Others were mournfully and quietly getting off the scales having found out that they had put weight on. I could feel their pain from a distance of 6 metres away. Everyone was cheerful and welcoming apart from those who had not lost weight. Those members looked like they were about to attend their own funeral. One of them glanced across towards me with murderous intent.
Then came the talk session and the clapping. Every achievement was applauded and almost cheered by the whole of the group. I quickly decided that in order to preserve my fingers for my guitar playing I would only clap a little for each person. Nevertheless, it became apparent that some of the big people in the room used to be a whole lot bigger. They were reporting huge weight losses as Mandy-Lace worked around the room. No one escaped their turn apart from me as it was my first week. I had not yet been weighed.
I’m now going to share about the weighing machine. I spotted it very early on in my short time in the municipal hall. The machine was heavy duty and black in colour. It stood on four feet, one on each corner. It looked at me across the room threateningly. At one point, I’m sure I saw the machine stand up on these feet and come towards me saying ‘I’m coming to get you!’. Then I looked again and thought that it was looking at me with an evil smile and the wink of an eye. Weighing machines have many eyes, they know what you have been eating and how much exercise you have been doing. At the end of the meeting I knew that there was no turning back. I handed my doctor’s voucher over and approached the bench. The verdict was going to be guilty, but how harsh was the sentence going to be?
In the introduction of her talk, Mandy-Lace said to the group “We don’t do blame or shame here.” Well today for me, reading the scales, and knowing that the ladies monitoring the scales knew the true horror of my full weight, I felt both shameful and blameful.
I was responsible for my brush with life and death and now I knew the scale of the task ahead of me. | <urn:uuid:dc5dcb13-0171-4bf3-9ac9-875b0ed7a326> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://theworldofslimming.com/abject-terror-onplanoctober-day-four/ | 2024-04-24T02:59:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.991566 | 928 |
If you didn't know by the title, Chevigny-Saint-Sauveur has a conservative mayor. The French mayor bans pork-free school lunches, which has many Muslims up in arms.
Mayor Michel Rotger, a member of the conservative Republican party, stands behind his decision. He claims the move is to promote "secularism." Additional to that, he claims that 'alternative menus' were leading to too much waste.
“We are putting an operation in place so the children eat everything and their diets are balanced. There is too much waste so we will teach them to eat meat, be it poultry or pork,” Rotger said.
French Mayor Bans Pork-Free School Lunches
The town has a population of around 10,000. Parents of the students who attend school in this town were informed of the mayor's proposal by a letter. In the letter he claims that the pork menu promotes the "ideas of secularism." The only people who will be able to opt out of this menu are those with medical allergies.
Many people are on the attack when it comes to the mayor's plans.
Some have spoken out against the mayor’s plans including Paul Garrigue, president of a group of associations which includes Amnesty International and the League of Human Rights. Garrigue said: “Today, we are talking about secularism in a generally anti-Muslim way.”
“We see secularism as a tool of tolerance and living together and not exclusion,” he said adding that pupils who refuse to eat pork should feel “at ease”.
Mayor Rotger defended his proposal noting he is following the recommendations of the Association of Mayors of France (AMF) who dismissed the idea of “denominational menus” in French schools in November of 2015.
The debate over pork on school menus or in government canteens has been raging in France and elsewhere in Europe for years. As far back as 2014, the French mayor of Sargé-lès-Le-Mans said that school menus would feature “pork or nothing”.
Calls for pork to be mandatory have also been made in Germany where senior officials in Chancellor Angela Merkel’s government have said it should be in schools and government canteens.
In the UK, there has been a very different approach. One school in Islington completely banned pork from the menu back in 2011. This was a result of the very high percentage of the student population being Muslim. There have been calls for the ban to be lifted by people who argue that the students should at least have the option of eating pork. | <urn:uuid:2baa3fdb-f664-448f-b9e2-b444350db7cd> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://thinkamericana.com/french-mayor-bans-pork-free-school-lunches-troll-level-expert/ | 2024-04-24T02:27:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.979696 | 552 |

Outsourcing PCI Compliance
During a difficult economy, virtualization and cloud hosting represents a viable solution for cutting costs while increasing company productivity and IT services. Many companies are considering the use of virtualization and cloud hosted Services as a means for reducing IT costs through hardware consolidation.
But what happens to compliance standards and service level agreements that must be maintained if you decide to use virtualization and cloud hosted Services? Who assumes this responsibility especially when the protection of customer data is at stake?
Looking at it from the perspective of PCI compliance can provide you with a general idea of how data security standards are met when you use new technologies such as virtualization and cloud hosted Services to store sensitive data. In the age of ecommerce and new technologies you will find many definitions of what is cloud computing when you ask different companies.
For example, a few companies see cloud computing as a “pay as you go” service which is scalable where other companies will say that cloud computing is the use of earlier computing methods minus the complexities of technology deployment. Different perceptions of The Cloud raise the question of where data security standards fit in and who is taking responsibility in The Cloud.
PCI Compliance Defined
PCI compliance refers to the Payment Card Industry standards which are defined by the PCI Standards Security Council. These are standards which are uniform worldwide standards that are in place to protect both the ecommerce entity and the consumer against data intrusions. Compliance is awarded when the standards within an organization have been met. The standards apply to any organization that processes and stores cardholder data.
So what happens when cardholder data is handled and stored in The Cloud?
According to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) there are three different service models that accompany cloud hosting which include Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).
- SaaS: Software as a Service is software that is offered by the cloud hosting service which the company accesses over the Internet via a web browser.
- PaaS: Platform as a Service is infrastructure that is provided and maintained by the cloud hosting provider. The company accessing this type of service defines the configurations in accordance with company requirements.
- IaaS: Infrastructure as a Service allows a company to have control over the operating systems and software applications while the cloud hosting provider manages the underlying network constituents.
In terms of PCI compliance the standards are determined according to how cloud computing is utilized according to these three different service models. If the company chooses a cloud hosting service or they decide to manage cardholder data onsite the type of implementation which is used will be the determining factor for the PCI DSS or PCI Data Security Standards which must be met in accordance with the PCI Standards Security Council. The bottom line is you must take the method of implementation into consideration if you are going to be handling cardholder data and other sensitive consumer information.

If you would have asked me when we first bought our bus back in April how long until it would be done, I would have told you it would be road-ready in just a couple of months 😉 Yet, somehow here we are just passing month ten of our school bus conversion……and we are finally DONE-ish!!!! As many know, back in April on my birthday, my husband informed me that he wanted to buy a school bus to convert into an RV…..from New Mexico. The very next day, he traveled down to New Mexico! Then, that same day he purchased the school bus and began the drive back to Montana. Missed the “why a school bus”? Click here for the full story!
What it looked like at month nine
As a reminder, this was what our bus looked like a month ago. If you saw the post on where we were at month nine of our school bus conversion build, then you know that by that point, the bus was pretty much “done.” Nine months of consistency and hard work had put us in a position where we were mostly done. But if you want a more detailed look at what we had done by that point, here is the post.
Where we are at now
We are DONE-ish!!!! This is my new favorite word when it comes to our school bus conversion. This word means the bus in done in the sense that it is usable. However, there is still a list of to-do items left that we need to complete. But in complete honesty, part of me wonders if even once this list is done, will we be fully done? I have a feeling between repairs, adjustments, and upgrades; this is the type of project that has the potential to never be done if we allow it.
Obviously, our goal was to have the bus finished before we left. However, sometimes you have to pivot and change your expectations when converting a bus. A major cold front was coming through with -17 degree weather. Therefore, we faced two choices. We could either finish the to-do list and risk being stuck (because up until this point, our winter had been very mild with very little snow). Or, we could literally stop all jobs, shove everything into the bus and take off. We chose the latter:)
So on February 6th, we literally threw everything into the bus and took off. Gone were my plans of a Pinterest worthy take off, or clean and organized bus. It was a literal disaster. In fact, it still is haha! I didn’t even have time to completely go through my packing list. Yet here we are almost on week two of traveling and I wouldn’t change it.
But, here is what was left of our list that didn’t get finished before we hit the road.
- finish the stairs
- make shoe storage
- figure out legs/support for our pull out couches
- tint all bus windows
- make shelf/storage for electric piano under the table
- cabinet faces installed under kitchen sink
- poly the wood in the bathroom
- finish built-in shelves
- make boxes for the USB ports for each bunk
- make fold-down desk
- make lid for built in cubby
- install latches on foldable railings
- attach cedar planks to the side of the deck
- add tension wire to create deck railing
What’s been good
Handy hubby: Being able to finally put the final touches and then seeing the final product come to life has been awesome!
Mama bear: This last month was great because not only did we get to a point that we could even consider leaving, but we are finally getting to enjoy all our hard work over these last 10 months.
What’s been hard
Handy hubby: Both the mental pressure to finish and get ready to go was overwhelming. Also the anticipation of what would work or not once on the road and accepting that not everything would be done. And there would be things we would have to figure out while on the road.
Mama bear: This month might have been one of the hardest emotionally with our bus build. With every other deadline we set for ourselves, I knew within a day that we wouldn’t make it. That kept the desire to keep going but also removed the stressful aspect. A part of me was fine with the changing take-off dates because it gave us more time to get ready. There is a lot that goes into leaving a home and moving a family into a bus.
But, this last month we have been so so so close to finishing, that each day we picked to leave honestly felt like we could make it. So when we didn’t, a part of me kept wondering if it would ever happen. And also at the same time stressed because it was the final push and everything had to get done. Time was up:)
When will it be done?
Yay to not hearing this question anymore! I finally can say that our bus is DONE-ish. We finished it to the point that we were able to leave and hit the road. There are still parts on our original list that need finished. However, after being on the bus for a few weeks now, I can already tell that even once we complete the original list, there will be little upgrades here and there we will want to do.
With my husband’s DIY abilities, I can also see us making minor changes along the way to make every square inch of this bus usable and best organized for our family.
Plus, in all reality, when people begin a skoolie build, most have an idea and/or plan of what they want to do. However, no matter how thought out these plans are, there are certain things you can’t possibly know until you actually begin traveling in your rig and use the space on a daily basis.
As a result, now that we are actually on the bus, I am already finding little adjustments I would love to make at some point to make our bus even better suited for our family of six + 4 cats and 1 dog 🙂
But for now, we are going to work on wrapping up the initial to-do list, enjoy all our hard work, and hit the road!

Kris Jenner’s Early Life and Education
Kris Jenner was born on November 5, 1955, in San Diego, California. Karen Jenner is Jenner’s younger sister. Jenner’s mother sold the family home in San Diego’s Point Loma neighborhood when her parents separated in 1962.

The malignancy, thankfully, did not spread. Jenner was granted a clean bill of health after undergoing surgery to remove the malignancy. Jenner’s mother remarried to businessman Harry Shannon a few years later.
Shannon’s business partner stole the company’s money three months after they moved to Oxnard, California.
As a result, the family relocated to San Diego once more.
Jenner was more interested in being a wife and mother than going to college when she graduated from Clairemont High School.
There’s a lot of people that have great ideas and dreams and whatnot, but unless you’re willing to work really, really hard, and work for what you want, it’s never going to happen. KRIS JENNER
Kris Jenner’s Career
Kris Jenner is the founder of Jenner Communications, a Los Angeles-based generation company.
Kris Jenner met producer Ryan Seacrest in 2007 and together they developed the massively successful reality TV program Keeping Up with the Kardashians, which follows Kris and her family as they go about their daily lives as celebrity businesspeople.
Since then, the program has spawned a slew of spin-offs.
In the FX limited series American Crime Story: The People v.O.J. Simpson, which premiered in February 2016, she is portrayed by American on-screen actress Selma Blair.
Jenner and her daughter Kourtney established a children’s shop in 2004.

Kris Jenner is also a published author. Kris has penned an autobiography as well as several recipes.
Kris has also presented a number of television series.
When the opportunity came along to do the reality show, it was just a very exciting time. We really never thought about how it would pan out for the entire family but just knew that it was going to be a great journey. KRIS JENNER
Kris Jenner’s Allocates and Nominations
She won the Teen Choice Award for Favorite TV Female Reality Star.
We have literally millions and millions of fans. I mean, even Kendall and Kylie have 50 million followers on Instagram – apiece. That’s a hundred million people you have somehow touched emotionally, enough to follow you on a social-media platform. And I think with that also comes, you know, haters. KRIS JENNER
Kris Jenner’s Net-Worth
Kris Jenner is one of the most successful female actresses at a young age because her family inspires her to keep trying to be successful when she is feeling down, and her family also supports her when she is feeling down and has low motivation.
Kris is incredibly enthusiastic about her profession, and as a result of her dedication, she has achieved amazing success in her field, and she now has a large amount of money at such a young age because she believes that hard work pays off, therefore she works hard and has a net worth of 190 million USD.
I am living my dream because I get to work with my kids and watch them find their happiness. It’s so rewarding – we brainstorm around a conference table and have a really great time doing it. KRIS JENNER
Kris Jenner’s Relationship
Kris married Robert Kardashian, a prominent high-powered attorney, on July 8, 1978, and the couple has four children together-daughters Kourtney Kardashian, Kim Kardashian, and Khloe Kardashian and a son Rob Kardashian. In 1991, the couple divorced.

She is of mixed race and is an American Dutch, English, Irish, German and Scottish.
Kristen Mary Jenner is her given name. She is the daughter of Mary Jo Shannon, mother and designer Robert Houghton, father. Kris’s parents divorced when she was seven years old. Kris and her sister were therefore nurtured by Kris’ mother until they were a few years old.
Her mother later married Harry Shannon, a congressman. Harry’s business partner allegedly fled with all of the organization’s cash three months after the family moved to Oxnard, California, so the family returned to San Diego.
I’m strong enough and have a pretty thick skin, but when people go after my kids, I just hit block-delete, block-delete. It’s my mantra. KRIS JENNER
Kindness and Philanthropic acts of Kris Jenner
One in every four youngsters in the United States might experience hunger this year, Kris said on Instagram about her current effort. Together, we can make a difference! This spatula was created to raise awareness and cash for @NoKidHungry, a non-profit that helps feed hungry children.
Furthermore, Kris encouraged her children and other influential contacts, including Adidas executives, to give money and resources to the Watts Community Empowerment Center in Los Angeles in 2018.
The goal for my girls and me has always been about beauty and fashion. Before we ever had the shows, my mom had a store for 40 years in La Jolla, and I grew up working there. KRIS JENNER
Kris Jenner’s Facts & Trivia
Kris Jenner was diagnosed with a bone tumor in one of her legs as a kid. It wasn’t apparent if the growth was malignant or not since the technology wasn’t as sophisticated as it is now. Amputation was thought to be the best choice for saving Kris.
Kris told The Daily Mail, “That’s what they told my mum.” “Back then, the technique was that they couldn’t determine if it was malignant or not until they got in there, and if it was, they had to amputate.”
Kris may have been too little to comprehend what was going on at the time, but she now realizes how fortunate she is to have survived such an ordeal.
The reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians is everything we didn’t know we needed in our lives. It’s amusing as well as dramatic, thrilling as well as addicting. But where did the concept for a program like this originate from? According to Baby Gaga, television producer Deena Katz offered her the original concept for the program, despite the fact that Kris was the one who firmly suggested it to Ryan Seacrest.
When Katz came to Kris’s residence, he recognized some real reality television potential and advised her to speak with Seacrest. After speaking with Seacrest, Kris dispatched a videographer to capture the family honestly. From then, everyone involved recognized they were dealing with something exceptional.
Kris Jenner is proud of almost everything she accomplishes in her life. One of those things is designing and paying for her opulent driveway. After her son-in-law suggested it, Kris decided to replace her whole custom-designed driveway with France-imported cobblestones. Kanye West was not pleased with the grout color she picked. Kris, it seemed, agreed with Kanye and had the road repaved.
Kris did, however, get a marriage proposal from Kardashian. She picked photographer Alfred Garcia to capture the opulent wedding she arranged in order to make a huge impact in Beverly Hills circles since she had stayed friends with him. She believed she had arrived. O.J. Simpson was a groomsman during the wedding.
Kris Jenner, like the rest of the Kardashian family, is no stranger to plastic surgery. In the 1980s, she got a breast operation after children and gravity took their toll. She has obviously had a lot of surgery done on her face. She does, however, deny having undergone a nose job.
Kris has, to put it gently, climbed up in the world, despite her “ordinary” beginnings. Her sleek and elegant appearance has been meticulously cultivated. Karen, her sister, is a lady who has a habit of dating shady ex-cons and saying embarrassing things. Kim’s “crazy aunt” declined to attend her wedding to Kanye West, claiming that she had previously attended two Kim weddings and had had enough.
Her redneck origins, according to certain reports. Kris Houghton was born in the city of San Diego in the state of California. Kris’s alcoholic father abandoned the family when she was seven years old, leaving her mother Mary Jo to raise her and her younger sister Karen. Her mother remarried a few years later, this time to a businessman named Harry Shannon.
There are a lot of big personalities in our family, and because of the way we interact with each other – and the fact that the girls are beautiful, the little ones are adorable, and my husband is an Olympic champion – there was this perfect storm that made you want to watch and wonder, “Wow, what’s going on with this family?” KRIS JENNER
Kris Jenner’s Physical Appearance
Kris Jenner is a stunning woman with enticing good features and a well-sculpted physique. Her body dimensions are about 37-27-37 inches, making her one of the world’s hottest and sexiest women.

I raised my kids kind of old-fashioned – if you don’t have something nice to say, then don’t say it at all. I teach love, acceptance, and tolerance… I sometimes think that this generation is lacking in decency. KRIS JENNER
Kris Jenner’s Controversy Act and Rumors
There were allegations in 2016 that Kris Jenner was dating Scott Disick. Jenner dismissed the claims as untrue. There were been several more issues surrounding the Kardashians.
Khloe is amazing! I’m so proud of that kid. KRIS JENNER

Discover the Best Dessert Classes in NYC
Think about the last time you enjoyed a dessert. You enjoyed it, right? What if you could make it at home?
Dessert making has been around since ancient times. Even the Romans were enjoying ice cream. Cultures around the world have their own dessert traditions, and not all of them are as sweet as the modern day. Many recipes from the past include fruits, nuts, and grains.
Technically speaking, desserts are classified as sweets eaten after a meal. In the U.S., desserts tend to vary by season, for instance pumpkin pie is often served in the fall and pistachio cake is served in the spring around the Easter holiday.
Pâtissiers or pastry chefs are those professionals who have dedicated their time to training and mastering the art and science of dessert making. You don’t have to be a professional to learn how to make good desserts, though. There are plenty of hobbyists and enthusiasts who enjoy the process and eating the fruits of their labor.
Why You Should Learn Dessert Making in NYC
Everyone should have a hobby they enjoy. Dessert making is so sweet you just might find you like it. Not only can it relieve stress and feel productive, it can also bring you into a community of people who like dessert making as much as you do. Attending in-person or online classes to learn offers the opportunity to meet many people you may not have otherwise met.
For those who love taking care of their family and friends, dessert making is almost sure to win you an MVP status among your inner circle. When you take the time to hand make something for a person you care about, it shows you think of them and listen when they’re talking to you.
Aside from being a delicious hobby, dessert making could also be a healthy “side hustle,” new career, or even a full time business venture. There are 34,000 dessert-based businesses in the U.S., and the industry is worth approximately $17 billion. That means there’s plenty of room for another passionate individual (you) to add a creative new business.
If you’re interested in professional training and organizations in the dessert making industry, consider looking into the Institute of Culinary Education, Culinary Institute of America, and American Bakers Association (located in Washington D.C. with virtual events).
If you like to give back to the community, you might enjoy volunteering your newly acquired dessert making skills to organizations like Icing Smiles which makes cakes and other desserts for families with children who have a critical illness. Bake Back America began during the pandemic to serve first responders, essential workers, and those in need with baked goods prepared by volunteers. For Goodness Cakes bakes delicious birthday cakes for youth in underserved areas.

Off road tires for 15 inch rims are specifically designed to navigate rough terrain and handle the challenges of off-roading. If you’re an adventurous off-road enthusiast, then you know how important the right set of tires can be for your vehicle’s performance and safety.
Off road tires for 15 inch rims are ideal for those who want to explore unmarked trails, climb steep inclines, and conquer rocky roads. These tires are specially designed to handle extreme conditions, with deep treads that provide excellent traction and stability on rough terrain.
They’re also more durable than regular tires, with reinforced sidewalls that resist punctures and cuts. Whether you’re driving a jeep or a truck, off road tires for 15 inch rims are an excellent choice for anyone who loves to explore the great outdoors.
Why Off Road Tires Are Necessary For 15 Inch Rims
Tires have a significant impact on the performance of any vehicle, and even more so when it comes to off-roading. When it comes to off-road tires for 15-inch rims, it’s crucial to understand why they’re necessary and the benefits of upgrading to them.
The Importance Of Tires For Off-Roading
Off-roading is an extreme driving activity that requires toughness and readiness. The right tires can make a significant difference by providing better traction, stability, and durability in challenging and unpredictable terrains. The importance of off-road tires for off-roading can be summarized into these primary benefits:
- Traction: Off-road tires are designed with deeper treads, larger spaces between tire tread blocks, and special rubber compounds that grip the surface better. They provide better traction on mud, sand, rocks, and other slippery surfaces.
- Stability: Off-road tires have wider profiles and stiffer sidewalls compared to regular tires, providing better stability and preventing roll-over accidents during steep climbs and descents.
- Durability: Off-road tires are made to withstand harsh conditions, including sharp rocks and gravel that can puncture or damage regular tires.
Benefits Of Upgrading To Off-Road Tires
Upgrading to off-road tires has many benefits, including:
- Improved traction: Off-road tires provide better traction in challenging terrains than regular tires. They have deeper treads and are designed to grip the surface better, improving vehicle control and preventing accidents.
- Enhanced stability: Off-road tires are wider and have stiffer sidewalls than regular tires, providing better stability, especially during sharp turns and steep inclines.
- Increased durability: Off-road tires are designed to withstand harsh terrains, including rocky, uneven, and bumpy surfaces, by using stronger materials and thicker sidewalls. This means less downtime and maintenance for your vehicle.
- Versatility: Off-road tires can be used for both off-roading and daily driving, making them a great investment for anyone that ventures off the beaten path.
The Challenges Of Off Roading
While off-roading can be an exhilarating and enjoyable activity, it can also present some unique challenges, especially when it comes to tires. Some of the common challenges associated with off-roading include:
- Punctures and tears: Rocks, thorns, and other sharp objects can easily puncture or tear regular tires. Off-road tires are made with stronger materials and thicker sidewalls, making them more durable and less prone to damage.
- Loss of traction: When off-roading, losing traction can result in accidents, especially on steep inclines and wet or slippery surfaces. Off-road tires provide better traction and stability, enhancing safety and control during off-roading.
- Weight and size: Off-road tires are generally heavier and larger than regular tires, which can increase fuel consumption and reduce acceleration. However, the benefits of off-road tires far outweigh the challenges, making them an excellent choice for any off-roading enthusiast.
Off-road tires for 15-inch rims are essential in providing the right traction, stability, and durability for off-roading activities. Upgrading to off-road tires can improve vehicle performance and safety, while mitigating common challenges associated with off-roading. If you’re planning to venture off the beaten path on your next adventure, investing in a set of reliable off-road tires should be a top priority.
Key Considerations When Choosing Off Road Tires For 15 Inch Rims
Off-road driving may be a thrilling experience, but it comes with its own set of hazards and challenges. That’s why it’s critical to pick the best off-road tires for your vehicle to get a smooth and safe journey. Choosing the appropriate off-road wheels for your 15 inch rims is crucial as it enhances your vehicle’s performance both on and off the road.
Here are some things to keep in mind when selecting off-road tires for your 15 inch rims.
Types Of Off-Road Tires Available For 15 Inch Rims
When it comes to off-road tires, the market is flooded with various options. However, not all tires are suitable for all kinds of terrain. To simplify the process, here are the key types of off-road tires available for 15 inch rims:
- Mud terrain tires: Ideal for muddy terrains, they come with great tread depth and flex. They also offer high levels of grip due to the lugs that are close together.
- All-terrain tires: Suitable for both on and off-road terrains, they are designed to offer a comfortable ride and smooth handling both on paved roads and unpaved paths.
- All-season tires: These tires are perfect for those who engage in light off-roading and require a good grip on both dry and wet roads.
Terrain And Weather Conditions
Off-road driving is a lot more different than regular driving. It is crucial to consider the conditions of the area where you plan to drive and the time of year. Here are some key points to consider:
- Dry, desert, and rocky terrain: For terrain with rocky, dry, and desert conditions, it’s best to utilize tires with tougher side walls and a somewhat harder rubber.
- Muddy, wet, and rainy terrain: In areas with frequent rain, wet or muddy conditions, choose tires with softer rubber and more considerable tread depth.
- Snow and icy terrain: Consider tires with metal studs and a well-designed tread pattern to ensure traction, grip, and safety on ice, snow, or even harsh winter conditions.
Durability And Longevity Of Tires
The durability and longevity of off-road tires are critical factors to consider when purchasing off-road tires. Here are some key points to consider:
- Warranty: Check the manufacturer’s warranty before making your purchase to ensure the tires are backed by a reliable warranty policy.
- Tread life: Look for tires that have a long tread life to ensure you get your money’s worth.
- Reinforced sidewalls: Tires with reinforced sidewalls are more durable and are better prepared to handle uneven terrain requirements.
Price And Affordability
Off-road tires can be costly, but it’s important not to skimp on these essential features that provide safety and comfort while out on a rugged track. Here are some tips for selecting affordable, quality tires:
- Shop for deals: Look for deals on online platforms or tire shops to find the best tire deals within your budget.
- Purpose vs. price: The tire’s purpose should always be the determining factor over its price. Opt for a trusted brand rather than an inexpensive model.
- Tread grades: Be mindful of tread grades and set realistic expectations of the tire’s lifespan and price point.
Selecting the appropriate off-road tire for 15 inch rims entails a clear understanding of tire options, terrain, reliability, and price. Keep these essential factors in mind to select the perfect set of tires for your off-road adventure.
What To Look For When Shopping For Off Road Tires For 15 Inch Rims
Off road tires for 15 inch rims: what to look for when shopping
Off-roading can be an incredibly adventurous and exhilarating experience, but choosing the right tires for your vehicle is crucial for a safe and enjoyable experience. In this blog post, we’ll discuss what you need to consider when shopping for off-road tires for 15-inch rims.
Each of the following h3 headings will help guide you through this process.
Tread Pattern And Depth
- The tread pattern is one of the most important aspects of an off-road tire. A good tire should have a tread pattern designed to grip the terrain effectively, whether it’s mud, sand, or rocks. Tread depth is also significant as it determines a tire’s ability to disperse water and debris.
- When shopping for off-road tires, look for a tread design that can handle your specific off-road needs. Tires for wet, muddy terrain should have deep, widely-spaced lugs that help to keep mud and debris from clogging the rubber. Tires for rocky terrain should have a more solid tread pattern to provide traction on uneven surfaces.
Tire Size And Load Rating
- When selecting off-road tires, it’s crucial to choose the right size. A tire that is too small will decrease ground clearance, while a tire that is too big will rub against the wheel well or fender. It’s also essential to pay attention to the tire’s load rating since off-road vehicles often carry heavy cargo.
- Make sure you purchase off-road tires that align with your vehicle’s specifications. It’s also worth considering a slightly oversized tire for additional clearance and a more aggressive look; however, be sure to check your vehicle’s manufacturer recommendations before making any purchases.
Resistance To Punctures And Sidewall Damage
- Off-roading can subject tires to rough and sharp terrain that can cause punctures and sidewall damage. Therefore, buying an off-road tire with excellent resistance to punctures and sidewall damage is essential.
- When shopping, consider purchasing tires with reinforced sidewalls or constructed with puncture-resistant materials. Additionally, highly durable construction with strong sidewalls will protect against damage from larger obstacles such as rocks, roots, and sharp terrains.
Brand Reputation And User Reviews
- Choosing a reputable brand with an excellent track record in the off-road community will save you money and stress in the long run. A top brand will not only ensure high-quality tires that can withstand different driving conditions, but they will also provide reliable customer support in case you need repairs or replacements.
- Before purchasing off-road tires for 15-inch rims, reading user reviews is essential. Take time to read reviews on different websites or social media platforms to get a feel for the tire’s performance in different conditions. Consequently, you can buy the best tires that meet your requirements.
Shopping for off-road tires for 15-inch rims can be a significant investment, but choosing the right tires for your vehicle is essential for a safer and more enjoyable off-roading experience. Consider the key factors above when making your purchase, and don’t forget to read different reviews to be as well-informed as possible.

Work hit by coronavirus? Here’s some tips for making the best of it…
Firstly, we’re not here to try and flog you our services using fear tactics
There’s some useful free marketing advice in this article which I really hope will help some of you. If you want our help, we’re here, but we’re not ambulance-chasers.
Whether you’re thinking ‘Yay, I finally have an excuse to avoid everything and sit around in my pants all day’ or you’re dreading the thought of isolation, you’re about to face an unprecedented time in what can loosely be called ‘the workplace’.
IT’S NOT GOING TO BE FOREVER
Okay, so this is going to be a rough period for a lot of people. Particularly small businesses, freelancers, the hospitality and events industry, and millions of others. We won’t pretend otherwise. People are going to lose their jobs, we’re not making light of anything.
But according to a recent McKinsey report, despite the negative narrative around this, the most likely economic outcome (by a small margin) is that Q2 will be horrendous, Q3 pretty rough, but Q4 will see a boom as business picks up (correct at time of writing). So perhaps focus on that.
May is predicted to be the worst time for Europe and the UK, with things improving after that. Slowly.
SO HOW CAN YOU MAKE THE BEST OF YOUR TIME?
For many businesses this is a chance to test the remote working model, maybe something they’ve been resistant to, and see how well it works. I’m willing to bet this pandemic changes the way we work forever.
If you’re a small business owner it’s going to be a challenge, for sure
For some people, it’ll be business as usual, just at home (maybe in your pyjamas) and doing a lot of Zoom calls.
If you’re a small business owner, though, or someone that relies on live activities for a living, like a teacher or fitness instructor, it’s going to be a challenge, for sure.
Regardless, I’ve banged down a bunch of ideas for everyone, in a fairly random order below. My thoughts on how you can make the best of this fallow time.
TIME TO PROMOTE
It’s MAD on Facebook at the moment as people share crazy stuff and distract themselves. You need to be in their feeds!
Make your posts and newsletters interesting. Posting about your Covid-19 company policy isn’t going to thrill anyone
Apart from anything I’m willing to bet they’d be utterly thrilled that whatever you post isn’t about the coronavirus for a change. Same goes for newsletters and blogs.
Make your posts and newsletters interesting, funny, engaging. Posting about your Covid-19 company policy isn’t going to thrill anyone. You can do better than that.
Also look for opportunities to support businesses in return. What goes around comes around, and if we all support each other, we stand a better chance of making it out with a business still standing.
PLAN FOR THE FUTURE
From a marketing perspective, now is the time to make plans ahead. Accept that business is going to be slow but use this time as a gift to get your back room in order. (Yes I know it’s not a gift, I’m doing my best here)
By that I mean stuff like:-
• Revisit your website and update your content • Do an audit • Write some blogs • Update your internal admin – contracts, databases, personas, insurance policies… whatever • Create a marketing plan for the coming 6-12 months, including a content schedule
Doing stuff like this means that when things pick up, you’re ready to rock and not scratching about each day to try and keep on top of your marketing when business is so busy you don’t know what to do with yourself.
Yes, I’m a positive sort of a stoic. I do honestly think we’ll get a boom after this. And I’ll also say this because it’s going to be a reality for some – sort out your CV :o(
GROUPS, TEACHERS, HANDS-ON JOBS ETC
Are you a teacher or fitness instructor, or similar?
Can you offer online classes? For larger groups, Microsoft Teams is a great free platform for live conference. Teachers working with kids towards exams will know that their students are anxious. Maybe some support you can offer – although I hope many schools will put some of their own policies in place. Anyway – yoga by Zoom? Can it be done? Let me know.
Can you offer a gift certificate for what you do?
Get in touch with your mailing list/post on your Facebook page etc and let people know they can buy a voucher now, and redeem it later. Keep the revenue rolling. Suggest you offer some special rates, tempt them in.
Can you adapt what you do?
A local catering firm here in Sussex for example, having had a load of events pulled, has created a healthy meals home delivery service. Also, Burley Fisher bookshop in Hackney has offered to drop books round to people buying them online or over the phone.
There’s lots of ideas like this, but definitely time to get creative. Crises in business like this separate the champs from the chumps.
TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AS WELL AS OTHERS
If you’re in isolation, it might sound like fun for a bit, but having no human contact after a while is going to affect you. Boredom is just one symptom, but your mental health can be affected too. Why do you think prisoners dread solitary so much? Loneliness can be associated with an increased risk of depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, sleep problems and increased stress.
Limit the amount of time you spend reading about the coronavirus
It can raise anxiety levels and honestly, except the stuff you can actually do yourself, it’s out of your control. Head down, check in once or twice a day, and focus on other things.
Watch your working hours
Some people are going to find themselves at their laptop from 6am to 10pm. And others are going to struggle to avoid procrastinating and visiting the fridge every five minutes.
Plan your working time. Take regular breaks. Make sure you monitor this.
Keeping fit will help
Also – you’re not going to the gym, so get some fitness and yoga videos going on YouTube. There’s tons of free ones – keeping physically fit is going to make you feel better.
Talk to other people
Not just for your own sake, but for theirs.
And get dressed
It’s tempting to roll out of bed and work in your pyjamas day in, day out, because why bother? But you’ll feel better if you shower, and stick some decent clothes on. Take it from one who already works at home a fair bit.
OH MY GOD THE KIDS ARE OFF SCHOOL NOW TOO
This is the thing that is filling many people with dread, but you’re just gonna have to work with it. If there’s two of you, you need to take turns. If you’re a single parent, work out a rota with the kids.
Kids like routine and are good at watching the clock
Tell them you can play with them at X o’clock but not before, that kind of stuff.
Create challenges for them to keep them busy
Get them involved in what you do, if you can, so you share time with them. And they’re bound to have homework, so be vigilant with that.
Films buy you more time than CBBC
And don’t feel guilty if you have to stick them in front of the TV for hours at a time. This is unusual times, it doesn’t make you a bad parent. Just give them back some time to make up for it.
And yes, I do know how ridiculously optimistic all this sounds – I am a single parent who has done summer holidays working at home. But you have to start somewhere.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTERWARDS?
Well, that’s kind of anyone’s guess. I’m going to go with my prediction of there being a really rough summer, followed by a crazy rush in autumn. Sure, the events industry will be the sector that struggles most, as people will meet and conference online, removing the need to rebook missed events.
…it’s important to focus on what you can do, rather than worry about things that are out of your control
But the stuff that’s getting put off now will happen later in the year. Everyone is going to want to make up for lost time and revenue. Buckle up and prepare for a busy Q4/Q1-21.
As an aside… Looking at China, if you’re in food delivery and catering/restaurant businesses, get ready! Your workload is likely to massively increase. In China as people are starting to go back to work, there’s been a massive swell of new users of food delivery services – with the biggest growth in middle aged people, say delivery app Meituan. And business is off the scale.
Whatever happens, it’s important to focus on what you can do, rather than worry about things that are out of your control. Hang tight and try to stay positive, and look for opportunities to work with other people too.
If you want some help from us – drop us a line.

Assuming I select "check certificates using Tor", can I safely turn this feature on without compromising my anonymity?
Will this protect me against (or warn me about) a malicious exit node trying to perform a mitm attack on TLS connections?
I'm the maintainer of HTTPS Everywhere, which includes SSL Observatory (off by default though). I'm not sure where the other commenter got the idea that we're sending anything to Google; we don't.
When you enable SSL Observatory, we POST a copy of the certificate chain you saw to an EFF server, along with the time, server domain, and server IP address. We don't keep logs of your IP address, but for extra anonymity, we try to send the POST request through Tor if you have Tor installed. You don't have to be running Tor browser for this to happen.
HTTPS Everywhere ships with a whitelist of common certificate chain fingerprints, so it doesn't send anything that we've seen enough times before (ex: most Google certificate chains).
Currently it does nothing to inform you in real time whether you've been attacked. This is a feature that we're working on adding.
According to an entry on the EFF site it sends a copy of the certificate, when used with Tor the EFF does not learn who send the certificate.
If you turn on this feature, it will send anonymous copies of certificates for HTTPS websites to EFF's SSL Observatory database, which will allow us to study them and detect problems with the web's cryptographic and security infrastructure.
Now to the part what it protects against.
The Decentralized SSL Observatory is also capable of giving real-time warnings about these problems.
There doesn't seem to be a description of what it actually tells you when they detect that the certificate for xyz.com does not match with what's known to them. | <urn:uuid:0e2538bc-194a-425f-821e-0de500062d36> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://tor.stackexchange.com/questions/718/is-it-safe-to-enable-the-ssl-observatory-feature-of-https-everywhere-in-tor-brow | 2024-04-24T03:19:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.945995 | 376 |
Ardo Group is made up of three Sicilian-inspired hospitality brands: ARDO Restaurant, Dova Restaurant and Vivi Imports Corp. run by Jacqueline Nicosia in partnership with her husband Chef Roberto Marotta. We spoke with her to find out more about what they do.
What made you want to do this work?
Rob grew up in Sicily and I am a first-generation Canadian with a deep connection to the region and a passion for all it represents. We actually met and fell in love there! We wanted to bring brands to the city that are a true reflection of authentic Sicilian ingredients, wine and culture. We are fortunate to have complementary skills which made a business partnership make sense. Rob focuses on preparing standout menus and dishes while I manage operations and run the cocktail program at our restaurant in addition to special events. Dova specifically has fantastic private event spaces and a fabulous patio.
What problem did you want to solve with the business?
When we opened our first business, it was because we saw a gap in the market. There didn’t seem to be any restaurants in Toronto that focused on the simple and thoughtful preparation the region is known for without pretension. Sicilian fare really is about the best possible ingredients, traditional preparation and respect for what’s local and seasonal.
When we opened Dova, our second restaurant which was actually selected for Canada’s Top 100 List in 2021, we wanted to pay homage to Sicily’s exciting terroir and culinary traditions but infuse inspiration from the Mediterranean basin. Handmade artisanal pastas, fresh-caught fish and ethically sourced meats are the tipping point for Dova’s cuisine.
Who are your clientele/demographics?
Torontonians who love food, wine and gathering with family and friends. Our brands are elevated but accessible. This is important to us.
How does your business make money? How does it work?
We offer fantastic food and drink in a welcoming environment and with Vivi Imports, we make it possible for our clients to enjoy high-quality Sicilian brands that are less accessible in North America.
Where in the city can we find your profession?
Both of our restaurants are in the east end of Toronto. Ardo is located at 243 King St E, Toronto, ON M5A 1J9 and Dova is in Cabbagetown at 229 Carlton St., Toronto, ON M5A 2L2. Vivi Imports is e-commerce based and some of our products can be found at boutique grocers around the city.
What is the best question a prospective customer could ask a member of your profession when comparing services? Give the answer as well.
If you’re comparing Sicilian fare specifically, it is all about the quality of ingredients. True Italian food is rarely heavily processed. The best expressions of the region reflect that.
What is the best part about what you do? What is the worst part?
Bringing our clients joy through fantastic food, drink and service and helping them celebrate occasions big and small. We have many loyal clients and are often part of their life milestones. Personalized, genuine service is something we both insist on.
Hospitality is always a challenging industry. The global pandemic was certainly a tremendous learning opportunity that brought us back to our values and purpose. We have two young children and spending time together as a family is essential. Demanding hours and both of us working in the industry can make that hard at times.
What is your favourite joke about your own profession?
There are too many to list!
Where can we follow you?
PAY IT FORWARD: What is another local business that you love?
The Terroni group. They started with one location and have just kept evolving and expanding to where they are now. Cosimo Mammoliti (owner) was also Toronto born and felt that strong connection to Calabria as I do with Sicily, which is the backbone to our businesses. They have stuck to their unwavering values and have become an institution in our community.
On a smaller scale, a little boutique called Labour of Love in Cabbagetown. It is a female owned and run business. Regina Sheung is constantly finding ways to grow her business along with being a huge supporter of the businesses around her. She recently installed a little demo kitchen to start offering evening events to learn new cuisines or to see how some of her products can be used in the kitchen. | <urn:uuid:d802edc0-ff32-431e-8b82-1a2cab0d7a78> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://torontoguardian.com/2023/05/toronto-business-ardo-group/ | 2024-04-24T04:02:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.970233 | 931 |

Ice herb and her ginger curls rapidly gained hearts within the late summer time of 2022 with the debut of her single “Munch (Feelin’ U).” Since then, her recognition has elevated tenfold in lower than a yr and she or he has already been featured on the 2022 BET Hip Hop Awards, the 2023 Rolling Loud Pageant and now the 2023 iHeart Music Awards. in two completely different outfits, together with a monochrome one to match her vibrant orange curls.
For the pre-ceremony crimson carpet, the Bronx-born rapper slipped right into a black and white striped gown with black tights and platform heels. She later transitioned right into a vibrant orange lace maxi gown that was virtually the identical shade as her hair. Her brief orange curls, which have turn out to be a defining a part of her look, had been rolled up in small curls. We could not detect a single signal of frizz anyplace — maybe the results of raking mousse or a robust gel via her hair?
She Actual leaned into the monochromatic vibe for that re-assessment — have a look at that orange eyeshadow. Vibrant, matte shadows that matched the colour of her gown had been blended throughout her eyes with a lighter, shimmering orange pigment within the middle of her lids. She completed off the look with a nude gloss.

A Thai transgender teenager, 19, was placed under arrest at a resort in the Yang Talat District of Kalasin province today, November 6, for alleged human trafficking and sex trafficking for prostitution with a person less than 18 years old.
The arrest followed a police investigation that revealed a Facebook account titled “Fah Fah” that was reportedly frequently seen offering prostitution services in an online group. A police investigator then disguised as a potential customer and contacted the account in question for the service.
The alleged madam was captured at the scene after both parties had made an appointment at a Kalasin resort. Two 16-year-old female victims, who were following their alleged procurer to the scene, were safely rescued.
During the initial interrogation, the transgender woman reportedly confessed that she was using the Facebook account in question to actually supply children and offer them to child sex offenders/abusers.
The fee was approximately 1,500 baht and she would distribute 1,000 baht of the amount to the victims while the rest of the money would be collected and shared at the end of the month with her friends who were also working in the sexual exploitation business.
The alleged procurer, whose name is still withheld by the authorities, is facing charges of human trafficking and sex trafficking for prostitution against a person over 15 but less than 18 years old, procuring a prostitute and/or other sex workers in the illegal sex business, and inducing, encouraging and/or allowing a child to engage in prostitution.

After weeks of tier one economic reports from all corners of the world, the lack of market moving data outside of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s rate decision meant the possibility of quiet consolidative trade. However that was the complete opposite of what we saw this week as the central banks of New Zealand and the U.K. dropped hints of tightening.
Sterling soared today on the back of Bank of England member Vlieghe’s comment that rates could rise as soon as the first half of next year if the job market recovers faster than expected. This was followed almost immediately by Prime Minister Johnson’s comment that there is nothing in recent COVID data that will delay their June 21st reopening. Vlieghe’s optimism and the rally in the pound is consistent with the improvements in data and the central bank’s overall forecast for a faster recovery. When they last met in early May, the BoE said they expect the economy to return to pre-pandemic levels by the end of the year. Even though they also slowed asset purchases, sterling sold off at the time because the central bank did not change their guidance on when interest rates will rise. This is one of the first times we’ve heard a policymaker be so specific about early tightening and as a result, we look for GBP/USD to climb to fresh 3 year highs and EUR/GBP to head towards 2020 lows in the coming weeks.
This follows the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s forecast of a rate hike in the second quarter of 2022. This was the first official forecasts from the central bank since the pandemic and for now is a call that is more aggressive than the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank. Hence we expect NZD and GBP to outperform other major currencies in the weeks ahead.
The big question now is who will shift their guidance next. All eyes are on the Federal Reserve with the PCE deflator scheduled for release on Friday. The personal consumption expenditure deflator is one of the Fed’s favorite inflation measures. The PCE index is expected to rise sharply with economists looking for 2.9% year over year increase in core rates. While the Fed has made it clear they see any increase in inflation as transitory, a larger than expected increase could drive USD/JPY higher. However any gains could be mitigated by personal income and personal spending numbers which are expected to be softer. For today’s reports jobless claims continued to fall but unexpected declines were reported in durable goods and pending home sales. The Fed may not be the last to tighten but for now with more negative than positive disappointments, the dollar could underperform as traders expect the Fed to lag behind.
Higher oil prices helped the Canadian dollar resumed its rise against the greenback but euro and the Australian dollar failed to participate in the rally. That could change tomorrow for the single currency as we look for upticks in German import prices and Eurozone confidence numbers. Global inflationary pressures have increased while euro area reopenings should bolster confidence.

“A joyful life is made up of joyful moments gracefully strung together.” Brené Brown
Last night was one of the last concerts of the season for the orchestra of which I am member. The programme was full of well-known film soundtracks and joyous Hungarian and Slavic dances with different tempi, different signature tunes and different keys. Seemingly simple, they actually require laser-like precision and a degree of letting go – a real system of systems. Our performance and rehearsal space is lent to us in a partnership with the town’s hospitals and medical services, and the concert was specially commissioned to thank the hospital staff for all their hard work. It was envisaged as an event at which they could relax, be rewarded and feel joy – that energy filled with little sparks of joy, anticipation and the feeling of being able to let go, give up the urge to control everything and step into the music and the moment. The output is joy (a fluctuating feeling), satisfaction and a collective purpose for those playing.
The experience of joy obviously means different things to each of us, but there is a common underlying feeling of joy that we can all relate to: the feeling that brings a smile to our face and makes us laugh on the inside and the outside as we connect to joyful memories or experiences. It is a powerful and transformative feeling. So what happens if we apply that analogy to the workplace?
Connecting with joy
“Innovation comes from people who take joy in their work.” W. Edwards Deming
Joy, and emotions, are very often put on the back burner and left unspoken and indeed unattended. Yet this is where the trigger lies for us to do our best work – work that is meaningful and rewarding, even if it is hard and demanding. People don’t often link joy and innovation, just like they don’t link inclusion and innovation, but feeling like we belong, are connected to other humans and are thriving are essential for creativity. When this happens, we also experience a feeling of great pleasure and happiness evoked by well-being and success at work. This can be powerful and is as simple as that, but also as complicated as that – to cultivate and nurture – particularly on a collective level!
“How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives,” American author Annie Dillard reminds us. Given that we spend a large part of our life at work, work will shape and influence how you feel, think and act. This can translate into your work being a way in which you find meaning in the world and therefore a part of your life that nurtures and energises you. On the other hand, it can also translate into stress, sleep deprivation, unhealthiness or just plain boredom.
If you can’t find joy in the path you are on and what you are currently working towards, how do you expect to find joy once you get there? How can you know when you are ok and not ok? You cannot connect when you are stuck in everyday details, logistics and busyness, reacting as opposed to responding. This is one of the most simple and frequent questions that crops up in my coaching work when leaders are struggling with motivation or meaning: What brings you joy?
What is happiness? What makes us happy? There are of course as many definitions as there are people, but for Matt Phelan, happiness consists of feeling joy and eudaimonia (the underlying feeling of how happy you are, spirit) and also unlocks the freedom to be human and take opportunities, which is one of the top four drivers for happiness at work. We discussed this very subject in our recent podcast (listen here) as well as the data insight gained from the research done on the Happiness Index platforms and what it brings to our understanding of the question at both a local and global level. Again, we are back to breaking things down into smaller visible systems to create awareness of how things can be different. A good example is the cultural slant, where differences are revealed in the data. For instance, in Denmark, there is a concept known as arbejdsglæde meaning ‘work happiness’, and it is an openly discussed and recognised subject. In some cultures, however, the scientific question of ’what makes you happy?’ is perceived as too personal and a reluctance to have conversations can be a huge barrier. Equipping leaders to bridge this gap and create the conditions for these courageous conversations to happen is a key skill for leading and navigating complex systems.
It is also important to understand the smaller systems too, and how it might be possible to nudge at that level, connecting to their experience and looking at how it may be relevant to experiment differently here, before reconnecting to the wider system. Relationships are the currency of systems and only by creating meaning through what brings you joy will you create the deeper relationships both with and in the system. Joy can also be fierce, feisty and fast-moving, it doesn’t necessarily need to be ‘soft and fluffy’. Quite the opposite in fact: we need to intentionally cultivate and use the positive energy it brings into the system flow.
The power of us
I have always been a big believer in the power of us and even use it as a mantra. Through my work on inclusion and human systems, and as a coach, I see the ‘power of us’ unfold in different ways almost every day. The energy that comes from this collective wisdom is often accompanied and fuelled by both joy and happiness: thriving from a sense of purpose being fulfilled and shared. This doesn’t mean that the work is easy and that there’s no stress, but it does mean that we’re not alone and that we’re connected to something bigger than us. We are starting from a place of abundance.
We are indeed more intelligent together, and our constant quest to get things done quickly and individually ironically slows down the progress at an organisational level. It is always a ‘Russian doll’ analogy of smaller systems within systems. This is particularly true in digital transformation where things are more and more interconnected and systems are growing and evolving, as living organisms do – organisations are evolving systems and full of smaller sub-systems.
To focus on these smaller visible sub-systems, you need to really listen to what is going on in the system and look for patterns, trends, and other insights that could uncover the coherence in the systems and be relevant to your capacity to act or shift elements within the system.
Building in time for sense- and meaning-making is key to creating the power of us: how are the elements in the system working together or not and what does this mean? Where could we intervene and for what purpose? How can we empower and support the relational elements of the system? Purpose and sense-making are not a ‘one-off’ activity, just like sustainable transformation, but rather a moving dance – an individual and collective journey of reflection, with support from co-workers and peers to maintain this positive sense of purpose and keep the energy flowing through the systems and systems of systems.
General Stanley McChrystal’s ‘team of teams’ concept focuses on using the incredible power that small teams have to manage the difficult and complex issues that arise in organisations. By building a system of many teams (smaller systems) that collaborate and work together as one ecosystem, we can empower individuals and teams within the organisation to act quickly and coherently, while not overlooking the necessary guardrails that define the teams’ decision-making. This supposes clarity, collective vision and sense-making, people having the space to be seen, heard and valued and psychological safety to express emotions (whatever they may be) and be themselves. All of these are factors for happiness and an inner sense of joy.
This notion of engaging with the smallest visible systems makes sense because we can often become overwhelmed by both the complicatedness and complexity of larger systems, and this allows us to break them down and nudge accordingly. A good example is considering how to move the needle on inclusion. At the systems level, there are many interventions, actors, pathways, and ways of understanding the experience of inclusion or exclusion. While there are entry points into this larger system, they sometimes seem opaque, unattainable and like sliding doors opening and closing in different sequences – if you miss the opening, you miss the opportunity to impact the system.
Focusing on smaller visible systems allows us to set up several smaller action groups such as leadership round tables or learning community structures to understand peoples’ experience of the workplace through lived stories, trends and data. This in turn allows us to focus on the impact locally, whilst constantly feeding back into the global system. Such understanding enables us to nudge and influence the local systems by building strategies at this level. With the pandemic and more hybrid models, most of us have been thrown into smaller systems quite radically, as online team units have become smaller and more intentional, often leading to more focus, more connection, and ultimately more meaning.
As we think about our systems of systems, let us think also about how we can bust the myths that surround expressing emotions at work; how we can create a flow of communication, energy and joy in the system; how we can use technology and human connection to help to link joy and happiness to the strategic objectives of our organisations; and how we can dare to intentionally push for sense-making as an integral and iterative part of both strategy and execution.

Our story with the Shardlow Crane starts in 1989 when we used to moor our first boat “Alzark No1″ in Dobson’s Basin. We used to overlook the crane and at this time it was looking in a much unloved state. My father made enquiries with the then British Waterways Board to see if we could paint this up as a work party project for the canal society. Waterways said that they did not own the canal crane and had no idea at the time who was responsible for it. After making contact with the warehouse owners at the time, they put us in touch with Jeff Clifton. Jeff said that the crane was originally owned by F.E. Stevens Ltd until they went into liquidation. This was around the time when Shardlow was being declared a conservation area. Jeff said that they had a canal side meeting with Bernard De Stevens and it was agreed that he would take custodianship of it to ensure that it stayed on site in Shardlow. This was around 1974. He was only too pleased that the society wished to tidy it up and gave us his full backing.
The Shardlow crane was erected on site in 1870 for use by Zachariah Smith who had a brewery bottling store in the adjacent canal arm. It is believed that the crane was made in Birmingham By JW Youngs who had their premises on Ryland Street.
One of the first work parties on it was clearing back the undergrowth to reveal the sandstone slabs. Over a number of weekend work parties the crane was repainted and some repairs carried out to the middle section of the wooden jib that was suffering from wet rot, It was agreed at the time that this did not comprise a safety hazard. Unfortunately I do not have in my photo archives any photos of the work parties or the official unveiling of the plaque.
Shardlow Crane 2005
Over the years the society carried out routine work party inspections on all the cranes under their custodianship. In 2005 it was found that the Shardlow one, as well as needing a repaint, now required a little bit more work! A structural crack had developed in the towpath canal side cast iron casting due to frost damage and the middle section of the wooden jib was now at risk of structural failure. After talks with British Waterways it was decided that the wooden jib would be removed with a view to replacing and, if possible, the cast iron side would be removed for repair to the crack.

When we dismantled the jib we found that we could shove a screwdriver straight through the rotten section (just below the lower person in the photograph). Due to the bolts holding the crane together having not been undone since we think in the 1930s (when it was thought that the jib was replaced), we had to spend a number of Sunday mornings coating them with a mixture of easing oil and diesel and using a lot of heat via a gas touch to get them to move. Once free the tie bars were removed and the jib lowered to the ground which surprisingly went without any problems. When we came to cut off the top collar the wood in there was as good as the day that it was put up.

The damaged casting side was loaded on to my dad’s boat “Alzark no2” for transportation to Mick Clamps (the Blacksmith based on the top of Snarestone Tunnel on the Moira Cut) for repairs. I remember the job we had taking it from the towpath up the old horse path to Mick’s place on a hand truck, Alzarks cabin top still had the small dent in from this little carrying trip. The return journey for the casting when fixed was by van.
Shardlow Crane Part 2 2012-2014
By the time the side castings were put back together, my father’s battle with cancer had taken a turn for the worst and the crane jib replacement project was taken on by Waterway Recovery Group and members of the Erewash Canal Preservation Society under the leader ship of John Bayllis. A jib was sourced and purchased. This was transported to site by the historic narrow boat Bath. When the jib was reattached it was found that the jib was slightly longer than the original one so the two tie bars required extending. This was completed by the fitting of two plates on each of the bars. The official unveiling of the repairs took place on the 24th October 2014.

I am having connection issues with my 1 year old Firestick 4K Max. It seems to work okay for a few weeks and then suddenly without warning it looses connection to my Linksys Mesh network. I’ve checked my network throughout my house and all of my 4 other Firestick 4K sticks stay connected and work perfectly, only the 4K Max looses connection. Sometimes I have to turn off the wifi connection on this stick, forget the connection, unplug the power to reboot, and setup a new connection to finally get this 4K Max stick to connect to the Internet again. This is becoming very frustrating so I am wondering if this Firestick could be defective and should I be reaching out to Amazon for a replacement?
Fire Marshall Miki must be takin a break for the holiday…
Please review this for all firestick issues and guides, if the following hasn’t worked feel free to ask.
This should resolve most to all issues.
Is the links putting out wifi6? Sometimes different devices perform different with routers etc. Check those settings and if possible either enable or disable wifi6. Also you might try swapping wifi channels? Just a few observations until Miki gets back from the beach
Have you tried switching from the 2.4HHz band to the 5GHz? Also if the router is close to your stick try ethernet.

Usually, with the release of a new set of colors, I paint up a model with each of the colors and then feature them in this blog. This time, however, I decided to do something a bit different as the colors have already been teased over the past few weeks. I challenged myself to pick a single model and paint it using all of the new colors.
Since there are lots of pinks, purples, and greens, I immediately thought of flowers and decided on Floruina, a Vegetyrant in Monsterpocalypse. In addition to the Expansion #5 colors (Appleseed, Cold Open, Cyberia, Dork, Fae Wylds, Galaxia, Hemogoblin, Hotline, Romeo + Juliet, and Turbo) I used the two recent replacement colors (Orange You Glad and Summoning Sickness) plus bits of Pearly Gates and Black Ice.
I kept the model in four pieces: the large center flower, two side flowers, and a trunk. The trunk was primed with matte black and the flowers with matte white. Certain parts of the flowers were subsequently hand-painted black as shown in the photos in the sections below.
The outer petals of the main flower were done in Cyberia and highlighted with Dork. The inner petals were painted first with Hotline. Then the top half of each petal was painted with Turbo and subsequently tipped with Fae Wylds. The teeth are Pearly Gates.
The leaves of the two side flowers were painted with Summoning Sickness, while the outer petals were again done in Cyberia and Dork. The center of each flower is Romeo + Juliet which appears pink over the white base.
The trunk was painted all over with Appleseed and then shaded in the recessed areas with Black Ice. The latter step was done to make sure that the dark green color of Hemogoblin would come out when applied to the trunk’s nooks and crannies. The vines have a touch of a potential future green that did not make it in this release.
Lastly, various buds and bumps on the trunk plus the back of the center flower were painted with blues, purples, pinks, and a touch of orange as shown in the photo below.
The photos below are of the final assembled model, showing all 12 new colors.
The individual new colors have been teased over the past few weeks, but this model is my first attempt at showing how well many of them blend with and highlight each other. A vicious plant that defends nature against alien forces turned out to be a great model to demonstrate these synergies. May this blog inspire you to try out some of these new paints. | <urn:uuid:d256e128-cb83-4b7a-b74d-58d5ab9afca0> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://turbodork.com/blogs/momma-dorks-miniature-musings/expansion5 | 2024-04-24T02:39:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.968686 | 556 |

Seen As Machine
Seen as Machine is an interactive physical sculpture. It is made of a modified Linhof 4x5 camera with a digital back. But in this case, atypical of most digital backs which converts the ground glass of an analog camera into a digital viewing and capture device, this device flips the apparatus and points the camera sensor outwards and the faces the screen inwards. This simple flip turns the camera into a theater, and requires the viewer to peer through the font lens element to see inside the sculpture. The digital back is composed of Raspberry Pi ARM chip computer which is running realtime computations via opensource CV libraries and machine learning object detection (in this case, Google’s MediaPipe). Peering inside the camera reveals a theater of complex digital overlaps that tracks faces — aesthetically distant to the traditionally atomic and analog functionality of the Linhof.
The flip of the digital back represents a reversal of subject. The photographer now must stand in front of the camera and become the subject of it to use it at all. To use the digital camera, a photographer must first become its subject. This interactive positioning is a type of Copernican Trauma, on a symbolic scale, as coined and defined by Benjamin Bratton.
A Copernican Trauma is a type of de-centering of an otherwise human centering activity. The description comes from the scientific shift which discovered that the Sun does not orbit the Earth. Photography is an example of a historical practice which is uniquely human in the sense that the subjectivity and bias of the photographers were fundamentally imprinted into the process of image making. This traditional camera projected ones ethical values more so than it objectively captured a moment in time. One could say that photography in its historical practice was a deeply human-centered practice.
Cameras today are connected to each other in a massive digital network. Cameras in the network communicate with each other with metadata, proxies, and thumbnails, and often are generated from automated systems like surveillance networks, satellites imagery, and machine learning databases. This communication occurs automatically, independent of constant human oversight, that is, excluding the manual maintenance required at increasingly sparse intervals. The scale of these systems, though made through human labour, are so large they take on distinct and emergent machinic qualities that are un-human like. The ‘intelligence’ (with whatever prefix moniker attached) is constantly different and unexpected and new relative to a human or human group intelligence.
More and more of this machine-to-machine intelligence is occurring invisibly in between and all around us. Images made on a smartphone are processed locally to sharpen detail, smooth skin on faces, detect faces, add semantic labeling to images of your pets, then they uploaded to remote server “clouds” to be processed and analyzed. This is the phenomenon of automated meaning-making. Looking inside this sculpture, I hope to make a small moment where the idea of camera is questioned and the notion of a digital ‘Copernican Trauma’ can be symbolically and delicately experienced. | <urn:uuid:df7bb5ab-e284-4742-848c-ef255d99b684> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://tywenkelly.medium.com/seen-as-machine-9dda2460deb9?source=user_profile---------1---------------------------- | 2024-04-24T03:52:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.94487 | 630 |
You could say that artificial intelligence, robots and smart devices were all offspring of some of the wildest imaginations of visionaries. Through art, movies and literature, we have been able to conceive such ideas and work our ways up towards making them a reality. But no matter how harder we try to live our futuristic dreams right now, artificial intelligence and other allied technologies are still in their infant stages. We have achieved face recognition, speech detection and stages of autonomous cars at consumer levels and it will be years from now until we have robots serving us mac and cheese.
With that said, groundbreaking technologies and researches are being made every single day and if you are a follower of influencers and industry experts, you would see how artificial intelligence is working at grassroot levels to solve some of the simplest of concerns besides the most complicated ones. Artificial intelligence is indeed laying the foundation for what will be standards tomorrow and to get ready for the future, you need to start becoming open from today.
Visionaries today are working on enriching our everyday lives. Home delivery of food, apparel, and consumer goods, cab services, entertainment options are all some of the basic conveniences we have made them necessities. But technology feels there is still human intervention involved. So, it is working on making life simpler to another level by introducing delivery drones, chatbots, advanced systems and more to further add convenience in our lives.
Artificial Intelligence is all about bridging the gap between the known and the unknown. As humans, we have restrictions in terms of perceiving and understanding things with chances of human errors. But advanced machines (like quantum supercomputers) can redefine our understanding of things such as the universe, dark matters, ailments and diseases, online transactions, nature and more and help us see the truth. Supercomputers are already working on simulating blackholes and working on string theories and other unproven concepts. IBM’s Watson is detecting diseases and predicting ailments that veteran doctors could not and algorithms are showing companies why their products are not selling online. These are all just instances of things we never paid attention to before these technologies come into action.
If you notice, the world is becoming tech oriented. We recently saw a video where kids in England could not tell the right time from analogue clocks because everyone has a digital one on smartphones and gadgets. The world is becoming more digital and most of our everyday actions are based on our devices. So slowly, our career is becoming more tech-centric as well. As the world turns to devices for solutions and concerns, it gives rise to the need for data management and insight generation to meet the increasing demand. For that, the existing career choices would evolve into something more complex and niche.
Today, data scientists, machine and deep learning experts are increasingly in demand. Companies are now depending on them for their organizational requirements. Considering this, the ability to code and work on a programming language would become inevitable and all our career choices will have an intertwined aspect of computer and tech skills.
Though we are far from the days machines would dominate the earth, we are still making tremendous progress in making them smart and human-like (Sophia). Maybe we humans are just here to give rise to a new species of entities that would go about solving the mysteries of nature and universe. What do you think?

In findings dated Tuesday (May 10), Coroner Christopher Goh said the faulty “up” button in the control box meant that the lift car had to be controlled from the control room located elsewhere.
“As there was no direct line of sight between the two locations, this would be some danger,” he said.
Mr Hossain Mohammad Sahid, 29, a Bangladeshi contractor, died of haemorrhage due to blunt force trauma to his left arm on Feb 27 last year.
He and two other colleagues were performing repairs at the Chan Brothers Building at 452 North Bridge Road when the incident happened.
One colleague was controlling the lift car from the control room, while the other was in the lift car. Both were unharmed in the incident.
Mr Hossain was on top of the lift car, and was supposed to call his colleague in the control room to give him instructions to move the lift up or down.
At the time of the incident, Mr Hossain had just passed a tool to his colleague in the lift car through the lift doors. The other colleague in the control room was giving him instructions on the lift settings.
However, before the colleague in the control room could finish speaking to him, Mr Hossain flipped the switch in the control panel at the top of the lift car to “normal”.
He did this before his colleague in the control room could flip the switch there to “inspection” mode. This triggered the automated movement of the lift car, which ascended to the nearest floor.
As a result, Mr Hossain’s left arm was trapped between the lift car and the lift shaft, around the second and third levels of the building. This happened at about 11am.
When the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) arrived, they assessed that Mr Hossain’s rib cage, left arm and left leg were trapped. His left arm had sustained a deep cut and was bleeding.
However, the confined space of the lift shaft hindered rescue efforts and the administration of effective medical treatment, the coroner found.
Various options, including amputation, were considered to extricate Mr Hossain, but were also impeded by the confined space.
Continued attempts were made to free him, but at about 3.45pm, checks found that he no longer had a pulse and was not breathing.
Mr Hossain was pronounced dead more than four hours after first becoming trapped in the lift shaft.
SCDF eventually managed to extricate his body at about 5.35pm that day.
“The faulty ‘up’ button on the lift car should have caused all work on the lift to halt,” said the coroner.
“This is so because to continue operating the lift car would require two persons operating controls and different positions, without a line of sight to each other.
“This would increase the chances of an accident occurring, as in the present case.” | <urn:uuid:e0f4860f-e881-419f-96f4-f83576e4da78> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://ugolini.co.th/ugolini/technician-who-died-triggered-automated-movement-before-lift-was-put-in-safety-mode-coroner/ | 2024-04-24T02:58:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.990051 | 671 |

Student at this current time and age wants to excel in their particular field and at the time in which we are living everybody wants some kind of rapid success and everybody wants to have some shortcut path in which they gain future success.
But I advise students not to take the shortcut route because with shortcuts you are neither broad-minded nor experienced with time. so, we provide here without shortcuts the best ways how to become a better and smarter student in school.
If you are a school student, college student, and graduate student, this article is best for all types of student levels but keep this sentence in mind, without hard and smart work, success is very difficult for all students.
How To Be Smart In School?
- Become an active learner: You should Raise your hand to ask questions if you think: my concept is not clear.
- Fuel your brain for success: Prioritize 8-10 hours of sleep for focus and memory. Exercise is like fertilizer for your mental garden.
- Team up for learning power: Don’t be shy to ask for help – everyone needs a hand sometimes. And remember, teaching others strengthens your own understanding like nothing else!
13 Tips to become a smart student:
1. Have a smart goal
The moment when you are studying and you are in your school or college level your life is going to be very struggling and full of pain and grind what are the things that you need to do and what are the moments that you have to do in your life if you want to be successful that is the main criteria at the current time image so it’s very important to have a goal and not just have a goal but have a practical goal.
You are working on that goal and burning your midnight oil doing whatever you want to do in your respective fields of yours but at the very same time strive and take some baby steps towards your goal because baby steps can make you a very intellectual and very intelligent student at the very same time at a hard-working student as well because you are trained to give you 100% in the respective field of yours.
2. Have a practical goal
We are living in that kind of society and this current time in age In which many trains are being followed and people are following stupid trends just to fit in this site and people call them intellectual at the very same time because these college students do not have that kind of a self believing self fire that is very much required to turn your goal into a reality.
A good student always knows that what he wants to do and what he wants to achieve regardless of the fact whatever the people are saying you should have a particular goal and you should know and you have that kind of a belief that you can deliver the best punch In irrespective of the field.
3. Participated in-class activities
When you are in the classroom taking lectures and the teacher is delivering the lectures it’s very important for you to be alert and very visible mentally you should know the answer to not all the questions I suppose but you should be very alert to give your own perspective and point of view at the very same time It doesn’t matter if you’re perspective and point of view is wrong.
Things can become very challenging because when you are trying to become a better student at school you are developing yourself to go beyond the borders and you are challenging the flow of society which is very hard to break but at the very same time it is not impossible.
4. Listen to yourself
We all know at the time of social media and the things that are happening in our general and personal life it’s very difficult to have that kind of guts to pursue your goal especially if your goal is very unorthodox and you are not following the trends and the benchmarks and the norms which the society have set for over a decade the norms such as having good grades is a criterion of your intelligence.
if you are getting lots of money you are considered a successful student and if you are a graduate of Oxford University or any other highly well-recognized University you are highly successful as a graduate student because you are not playing mind games and challenging the norms of the society.
5. Challenge yourself
It’s very important for you If you want to become a better and smart student in the school to challenge yourself and have that kind of willpower to go beyond your limits and telling the precautions against the consequences in which you are stuck and let go of your comfort zone and believe in yourself that you can challenge yourself be on your limits.
There is no growth in the comfort zone in which you are sitting and it might sound very harsh but it is a very true reality that you have to sacrifice lots of things to achieve the maximum potential and achieve the maximum result in your goal.
6. Discuss the difficult topics
Nobody’s perfect in this world and we all know that so if there is something that is bothering you and you are having a problem discuss that topic with your teacher, if you want to achieve success in that particular subject most of the students, struggle in the sign subjects so ask your doubts to get better grades.
Many of the brilliant students are brilliant not because they are very much going gifted and they know the particular subject very well but because they clear the doubts and ask the particular question in which they are stuck and do not give up until less they have cleared the problem.
7. Have a productive friend circle
The company that you choose is going to determine your future so it’s very important to have educated discussions with your colleagues and bash and friends in which you are stuck because academic success definitely works on teamwork.
Especially if you are in college life because the assignments and the projects that are going to be assigned to you are very important to become a better and a smart student in school doesn’t matter if you are in the secondary school as well they study habits and the company that you’re going to choose is going to turn your salary and goal into a reality.
8. Learn from your mistakes
Hey, there is something not going in your favor and you have committed an error please learn from it and do not just pass on it and walk the situation you have to learn from the things that what are the things that you have done wrong and how you can become better in that specific goal.
Sometimes group work can become very handy for the college going students because if your team members or on a special goal or on the same goal which you have in mind those things can become very handy
9. Revise the course material
It is very important for every student who wants to become a better and smart student in school why is the course material and discuss the problems middle school students face this problem because they do not have the guidance and mentorship which is required by those people.
10. Develop skills in technology
We are leaving in a very global kind of environment in which everything is available on your phone and laptop so it’s very important for every student who wants to excel in his life should know the use of the gadgets and the technology gadgets which are being used in this time and age.
These things will become very handy and these things will come and use either if you are a professional or you are a student who is studying at this time and age skills like typing and writing and drafting can become very handy for college going students because presentation skills and making a CV will become the essentials when you are looking out for the job that you ever dream of.
11. Work on your strengths
Naturally, some students are very good at learning and memorizing the topic in a blink of an eye so it is very important for every student to know his friends we can assist at the very same time polishing your strengths as much as possible because your strengths are going to be the vital key and they’re going to distinguish you from the crowd.
Nobody is similar to each other everybody is different everybody has some flaws and drawbacks and at the very same time strength as well so work on your strengths and work on your weaknesses at the very same time because nobody is going to have a perfect day in a perfect night in the school and college.
12. Stay away from the praise
The most important thing that is very much on the cards and every student wants to or has to know is that that please stay away from the praise because if somebody is pressing you for no reason or even if somebody is praising you with your strengths that is a very huge drawback because it can also satisfy your ego are the very same time because if you think that that’s enough that’s the thing that I wanted to do you would not stress yourself and not stretch towards your goal and push your limits sky high.
13. Study group
Joining a study group with classmates can help students in many ways. By working together, students can better understand difficult topics and learn more. Doing so allows bright students as well as dull-minded students to advance by sharing different ideas and ways of thinking.
They can also help each other think critically. Being part of a study group can motivate students to work harder and use their time wisely. This helps them to do more in less time. When students work in a group, they can also make friends and feel more relaxed. This can help them feel less stressed about school.
Most importantly that is the basic criteria that you have to manage your stress and the workload in your academic record if you want to make your academic record better future and you want to be the best Student which is in the class.
What does it mean to be a better student?
Being a better student means being actively involved in the learning process by paying attention in class, completing assignments on time, getting good grades on tests, and getting help when needed.
This also includes developing good study habits, such as creating a study schedule and regularly reviewing class material.
Better student means having a positive attitude toward learning and being open to new ideas and perspectives.
Ultimately, being a better student leads to greater academic success and personal growth.

“What Was Saddam Hussein Thinking?”A Case Study in Misunderstanding Dictators
America committed its worst foreign policy mistake of the post-Cold War era when it invaded Iraq in 2003 to disarm Saddam Hussein of his supposed WMD. How might the U.S. invasion of Iraq have been avoided? Much of our post-hoc investigation has focused on the false and manipulated intelligence about Iraq’s WMD, George W. Bush’s choices, the selling of the war and the media’s complicity. Another central question has rarely been examined: Why did Saddam sacrifice his long reign in power – and ultimately his life – by creating an impression that he held dangerous weapons when he did not?
The question is answerable. Saddam tape-recorded his private leadership conversations as assiduously as Richard Nixon. He left behind about two thousand hours of recordings as well as a vast archive of meeting minutes and presidential records. The materials document Saddam’s thinking at critical junctures of his long conflict with Washington, including his private reactions to 9/11 and the Bush administration’s plans to oust him. And they clarify the complicated matter of why the Iraqi leader was unable to persuade UN inspectors, multiple spy agencies and many world leaders that he did not possess WMD.
Steve Coll is a professor and Dean Emeritus at the Graduate School of Journalism at Columbia University. He is currently on sabbatical in London, where he serves as a visiting senior editor at the Economist. Coll is the author of nine books of nonfiction about international and business affairs, and a two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize. His most recent book is The Achilles Trap: Saddam Hussein, the CIA, and the Origins of America’s Invasion of Iraq, which was published in February 2024. Between 1985 and 2005, Coll was a reporter, foreign correspondent and senior editor at the Washington Post and subsequently was a staff writer at The New Yorker for 18 years.
In August 2023, Alice Newton retired after 18 years of distinguished service at The University Seminars, where she worked with three directors and was herself Interim Director for three years (2019 -2022). From 1968, while a student at Rutgers University, and later at New York University (where she completed a bachelor’s degree in history), Alice participated in the anti-war, anti-racism, environmental justice, and women’s movements. Social justice activism continues to be a central part of her life. Alice later earned a master’s degree in international affairs from Columbia’s School of International and Public Affairs with a specialty in human rights and Latin America. While working toward this degree, she began as an administrative assistant at The University Seminars with Director Robert Belknap. She was promoted to Assistant Director, Associate Director, Deputy Director, Acting Director, and finally Interim Director. In partnership with Director Bob Pollack, Alice expanded the breadth of the Seminars’ programming with initiatives to promote diversity and to raise the voices of underrepresented and emerging scholars. Alice made The Seminars inclusive and welcoming also by facilitating initiatives such as the Seminar Workshops and the Belo Award, both founded under her leadership, and by working closely with the Columbia University Libraries to enable associate members to benefit from remote library privileges.
The Tannenbaum-Warner Award, in honor of two directors, Frank Tannenbaum (1945-1969) and Aaron Warner (1976-2000), is presented each year to a distinguished member of the Seminars’ community who has been of great service to The University Seminars. The Tannenbaum Lectures are named after Frank Tannenbaum, who founded The University Seminars in 1945. | <urn:uuid:6e0c56f2-a352-4ae2-9e4d-b09225be78a9> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://universityseminars.columbia.edu/event/77th-annual-dinner/ | 2024-04-24T02:30:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.963836 | 986 |
We are pleased to announce that we have added a new feather in our features cap – Unit Planner! A unit planner can be a great tool for curriculum planning which essentially aims to organise various elements of a curriculum, such as the core objectives (e.g. a standard/competency to achieve), subject, unit definitions, activities, assessments, and lessons.
On Teamie, a unit planner is a common classroom where workspace members can create common assessments linked to standards that are then pushed to all the classrooms (of the same cohort, i.e, same grade, subject and academic session) which would provide evidence of learners’ understanding. A unit planner can have the structure (desired results, evidence and learning plan) for learning through lessons with instructional activities and resources that can be delivered with assessments.
Curriculum heads and staff can use the unit planners to enter and view the progress and results for learners across the cohort in a single view, tracked by standard, assessment & lessons.
Note: ‘Unit Planner’ is a whitelabelled term and can vary from site to site. For example, ‘Curriculum Planner’, ‘Workspace’ etc can be configured instead of ‘Unit Planner’ as per your Teamie site’s configuration.
Once users are given access to the required grade(s) and subject(s), they can be added as workspace members or workspace administrators in the unit planners of the corresponding cohorts. A cohort will refer to a set of classrooms that have the same value for certain defined fields that define a cohort which are typically configured as Academic year, Grade and Subject.
Workspace users can create units in the unit planner and add the required From Week and To Week information. Based on these weeks, the units will be mapped to the Curriculum Map of the unit planner.
Each unit will encapsulate the 3 stages of Understanding By Design (UBD), filterable by a specific stage:
- Stage 1: Desired Results
- Stage 2: Evidence
- Stage 3: Learning Plan
Stage 1: Desired Results
In Stage 1, you can add the unit overview and map the learning objectives to the unit. Learning objectives that are mapped with the cohort (grade, subject and academic session) of the unit planner will be shown. Based on your site configuration, you can select the parent strands and / or their child standards to attach as the objectives.
Note: In case, site-level competencies are configured on your Teamie site, then you will be able to map those too to a unit. Furthermore, you can also attach pedagogical Concepts (such as Power, Justice, Equality) to a unit, if configured on the site.
In addition to the aforementioned, the following sections are present in the Stage 1: Desired Results for creating a unit:
- Essential Questions
- Enduring Understandings
- Learning Targets
In all of the 3 sections, you can add textual content (with rich text formatting) along with attachments from your system or file-sharing services, such as, OneDrive and GDrive (if configured on your Teamie site).
Stage 2: Evidence
In this stage, workspace members can create assessments (quizzes, assignments and offline tests) that are to be common throughout the course. Creation of these assessments will be the same as the classroom workflows. Each assessment can be marked as formative or summative, and can be graded through a rubric. The rubric may contain standards (objective populated as per the cohort) and/or custom criteria and scales.
There are two categories a created assessment can go into – Performance Tasks and Other Evidence of Learning. Workspace users can reorder assessments within each of these categories.
The performance tasks can be used to ask learners to demonstrate their understanding, or evidence like assignments and quizzes.
Other evidence of learning can include assignments and quizzes on knowledge of the learners along with grading using rubrics to address specific target areas of an essay.
Note: No material will have the publishing options (including the available from and available till options) available to them. They can only be pushed to classrooms where they can be published. Once pushed the materials’ content cannot be changed along with its major settings.
There is an evidence overview section present where you can enter the required text and attachments (Google Drive/OneDrive attachments will be available as per your site’s integration) to provide an outline of the section.
Stage 3: Learning Plan
The third stage of s unit is primarily to plan for the learning through lessons which will be created with a similar workflow as in the classrooms. Each lesson will contain pages that can contain text, media and embedded content. Instructors can also create quizzes and assignments to be delivered as part of the lesson or as standalone materials. Firstly, you can add the content and attachment(s) to outline the overview of this section.
Similar to Stage 2: Evidence, there will be categories in the learning plan – High Impact Initial Instruction and Intervention, where materials can be added and reordered within.
Once you have completed the section(s) and saved the changes, the section color will change to green (in the collapsed state) to indicate that the stage has been completed. Stages are considered to be completed if all the fields inside have been assigned some content. For text fields, this will include either text or attachments. Materials are not required to be added to complete the stage.
You can click any of the 3 stages to expand/collapse them or click View All Stages to expand all the stages at once.
Tip: You can copy the shareable URL for each unit within the unit planner by expanding the unit and copying the URL from the address bar. Take note that only one unit can be opened/expanded at a time to copy the link and share it with other members of the unit planner.
Once the stages of planning are complete, workspace members can now push the unit to their cohorts’ classrooms (which will be non-editable in the classrooms they are pushed to).
While pushing, the classrooms from the current unit’s cohort (grade and subject) will be shown for the academic session and upto 5 classrooms can be picked at once to push in the unit materials.
When a unit is pushed to a classroom, a new section is created in that classroom linked to the unit. This section can be edited or deleted by the classroom’s instructor, though that will not remove the lessons/assessments inside and they will be moved to the previous section available. The section will have its description pre-filled with the unit’s overview or any other section as per the site’s configuration.
The unit planner will have the Performance tab where you can track the performance of the learners on the basis of the 3 views – Assessment performance, Materials Progress and Mastery Performance.
Each view will be a tabular view with filters and have two “modes” – By student or By classroom. When viewed By student, each of the students will be listed as a row and their data will be shown directly. Whereas when viewed By classroom, each classroom will have a row, and the classroom’s students data will be aggregated and shown as a donut.
The Assessment Performance is the default sub-tab shown on the Performance tab. This view consists of columns for all the common assessments’ rubric criteria. Each criteria will be categorised by the assessment, which in turn will be categorised by the unit.
You can also quickly filter the data in the Assessment Performance view of a unit planner by the units present in the unit planner, the classrooms in which the units are pushed, different criteria etc.
The second sub-tab on the Performance tab is Materials Progress. This view will show the dashboard data view of all the common assessments and lessons created in the unit planner and will be categorised by their respective units.
The common assessments and lessons will be listed in the same order in which they are organised in the units. Each cell will have the learners’ status in the assessment/lesson, which could be one of the following:
- Not Shared
- Not Started
- In Progress
- Completed Late
The third sub-tab on the Performance tab is Mastery Performance which shows the data from the Mastery View of the classroom, shown for the learners from the entire cohort.
Each cell will have the overall score that has been given to the learner for that criteria, across all the learner’s classrooms.
Each of the aforementioned views has a tabular view with filters and two “modes” – by Learner or by Classrooms. When viewed By student, each of the students will be listed as a row and their data will be shown directly. Whereas when viewed By classroom, each classroom will have a row, and the classroom’s learners data will be aggregated and shown as a donut.
The Curriculum Map incorporates a timeline chart view that lists all the units and the weeks they are scheduled to be taught in.
The curriculum map has the filters on the page for Objectives and Competency (if enabled), allowing users to highlight the units that have been mapped to a selected Standard/Competency.

US Water Prize for Outstanding Private Sector Organization: Microsoft
Microsoft is a leader in their field for adopting their Water Positive Program and committing to being water positive by 2030. Microsoft recognizes our world’s existing water shortage and is taking steps to meet this goal in two ways: by reducing water use intensity across their operations, and by replenishing more water in stressed basins than global water consumption across all basins.
Microsoft has made impressive strides toward this goal by using data from the World Resources Institute to focus their replenishment efforts on approximately 40 highly stressed water basins in areas where the company has operations. For example, a new datacenter in Arizona will use zero water for cooling for more than half of the year, applying a method that uses outside air for cooling when temperatures are below 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Additionally, Microsoft’s new Silicon Valley campus features an on-site rainwater collection system and waste treatment plant to recycle and reuse rainwater and wastewater, saving an estimated 4.3 million gallons of potable water each year.
Microsoft is also working toward improving water accessibility by committing to provide 1.5 million people with access to safe drinking water and sanitation services. The company has begun work with Water.org and has invested to provide microloans to underserved communities in Brazil, India, Indonesia, and Mexico. These loans are used to install household-level taps and toilets, community water and sanitation solutions, and rainwater harvesting and storage. Microsoft is also a founding member of the Water Resilience Coalition, an initiative of the United Nations Global Compact CEO Water Mandate that seeks to reduce water stress by 2050. Founded by seven companies including Microsoft, the coalition has since grown to 20 industry-leading corporations who have pledged to work collectively on water issues.
The US Water Alliance is pleased to award Microsoft with the US Water Prize for Outstanding Private Sector Organization in recognition for their work advancing sustainable, integrated, and inclusive solutions to water challenges. | <urn:uuid:fb9715f5-fe4c-4877-b0be-eedd200c6d0d> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://uswateralliance.org/us-water-prize-for-outstanding-private-sector-organization-microsoft/ | 2024-04-24T03:03:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.954807 | 398 |
Today is an exciting day – back to the office for the first time in months, and a Friday which is a bonus!
I decide to walk to work along with Lake Burley Griffin, to get some fresh air and stretch my legs.
At the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment building I have a great view over Canberra.
I arrive at my desk, log in and settle into the day, firstly checking emails. I am currently placed in the Veterinary and Export Meat Branch. My team is in Brisbane; I have been fortunate to travel to the Brisbane Regional Office to meet them in person however during my day to day work we engage remotely. Due to daylight savings, my supervisor is on a slightly later schedule than me so there is often something waiting for me in my inbox to follow up on.
When I have time (I do today!), I read the daily media round up that arrives in my inbox each morning. It helps me to understand the context and 'bigger picture' of my work. There is often lots happening in the agriculture sector. I read the headlines which includes an article on animal welfare in livestock. I send the article to some veterinarians in my branch, in case they missed it.
My supervisor calls me on MS Teams from Brisbane for our daily morning catch up. We look at our calendars and make a plan for the day. At the end of the call we wish each other a happy Friday and agree to catch up via MS teams Monday morning. We will keep in touch over the 'chat' function throughout the day.
For a Friday treat and for a quick break I shout myself a coffee from the local coffee shop. There are not too many people around so I'm in and out quickly.
On the way back from grabbing coffee I run into a colleague in the elevator who I haven’t seen face to face for some time. We have a quick chat and arrange to catch up the following week. We have been participating in a training course on how to be an effective regulator, and we will meet up to discuss our experiences with the training.
The first meeting of the day is an exciting one: online, meeting new veterinary graduates. They are kicking off their 12-month graduate development program.
I have other online meetings this morning, including 2 hour-long meetings: a branch meeting and a monthly veterinarian meeting. In my world, Friday is a day for updates, reflecting on the week and looking to the next week.
Before I know it, it's lunch time! I've been online all morning, so I decide to take my packed lunch outdoors.
After lunch, a colleague asks if I can help review a document she is working on. I'm only too happy to help!
As it is Friday and I have been working later some days, my supervisor suggests leaving a bit early. This sounds like a great idea to me, so I use some flex time to leave work at 3pm (instead of my usual 4pm). I use my extra time to head to the pool with a fellow graduate for some laps. Plenty of sunshine left! | <urn:uuid:6b5feb28-dd60-48b7-acd0-3f847bbdc7e6> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://usyd-engineering.prosple.com/graduate-employers/department-of-agriculture-fisheries-and-forestry-daff/day-in-the-life/frances-zewe | 2024-04-24T02:53:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.966093 | 634 |

Some members of the UW Oshkosh faculty and staff have volunteered for homework — but at least they’ll get their books for free.
The University of Wisconsin System Institute on Race and Ethnicity recently awarded six Campus Reading Seminar Grants to UW Oshkosh. A total of 34 grants were given out systemwide for 2008.
The Campus Reading Seminar Grants will support six reading groups on campus, encouraging scholarly exchanges on racial and ethnic subjects. Participants may include faculty members, academic and classified staff, students and members of the community.
Jane Wypiszynski, Affirmative Action and Equity interim director, sent out a campus-wide invitation in October. Five peers from several different departments and offices accepted. They then engaged in an online discussion to come up with a theme.
“We chose to focus on the Middle East. It was something that people didn’t know much about and wanted to know more,” Wypiszynski said.
After comparing recommendations, the group chose to read “My Name is Red” and “The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine.” Their first meeting was held in January, and they will continue their discussions through April.
“People are doing a lot of historical research. We’re learning about the culture. We’re trying to better understand Islam,” Wypiszynski said. “It’s a mini course in diversity.”
The College of Education and Human Services has received Campus Reading Seminar Grants the past few years. Marguerite Parks, educational foundations chair and professor, sees it as an experience that encourages unity among the faculty and staff.
“I do think it builds a community,” said Parks, adding that the book clubs are open to students as well.
Parks chose four books and two films for her groups, which she expects will attract between seven and 12 individuals per source. The groups will explore such themes as immigration and race’s role in identity.
“We want to read and talk about that because the College of Education and Human Services deals a lot with children who are trying to find their identity. Also, it’s important to know what children from other parts of the country deal with,” she said.
Both Parks and Wypiszynski are excited about learning about things that are not traditionally part of their curriculum.
“I’d like to come away knowing that we encouraged people to try out different types of literature,” Wypiszynski said. “Diversity is taking things one person at a time, seeing through a different lens.”
The UW Oshkosh recipients of the Campus Reading Seminar Grants are as follows:
- Arlene Haffa (chemistry), Juyeon Son (sociology), Paul Van Auken (environmental studies), et al. will read and discuss “Whitewashing Race: The Myth of a Color-Blind Society” and “The Race Myth: Why We Pretend that Race Exists in America.”
- Marguerite Parks (educational foundations) et al. will read and discuss these books: “Enrique’s Journey,” “Flight,” “American Born Chinese” and “Snow.” In addition, they will watch and discuss the films “El Norte” and “The Kite Runner.”
- Miriam Schacht (Financial Aid Office) et al. will read and discuss “Wisconsin Indian Literature: An Anthology of Native Voices.”
- Michael White (Financial Aid Office) et al. will read and discuss “Hip Hop Matters: Politics, Pop Culture, and the Struggle for the Soul of a Movement” and “Come on People: On the Path from Victims to Victors.”
- Sally Wilke (Head Start Program) et al. will read and discuss “Building Cultures Between Home and School: A Guide for Teachers” and “Building a House for Diversity: A Fable About a Giraffe and an Elephant Offers New Strategies for Today’s Workforce.”
- Jane Wypiszynski (Office of Equity and Affirmative Action) , Tom Grogan (Chancellor’s Office) et al. will read and discuss “My Name is Red” and “The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine.”

When designing something for the web, is it a better to focus first on the layout and then on the style or the reverse?
CSS was designed (unfortunately) to lump layout in with styles. It really doesn't matter whether you focus on layout or colors or fonts first. What is important is to focus on content first. That is the most important distinction: content v. styles. Content drives everything. Content drives layout, and font and colors come in to reinforce everything.
Since there's not an established rule for this, I think this is very ambiguous, it depends on the person's developing (the layout, not coding or writing a program) style.
A few months ago at job we had a serious debate about this. Everyone has different points of view. We finished with the idea that "it depends in the way your brain works".
You can think that implementing the interface once the code is written is easier than designing the interface and next coding. But there was something in common in both ideas, and it was that first you need to make a classes diagram and a pre-design (<joke>everyone knows it will always change </joke>). So you can work in any case with "the final" product and you are counting with all the functionalities it has to have.
In my opinion, it also depends with the type of interface or program you want to create.
Here some examples:
I would first code and then implement interface:
I would first implement interface and then code:
So we can say that depending on the weight of each one you will be more comfortable to work a way or another.
Yes so go with the layout first, you can have the style in mind and it also will get influenced by similar aspects that help form the layout.
Ideally when you go to start the design/build of a website you will have the content (text, photos & brand guidelines) and desired outcomes that the website needs to achieve.
I would recommend taking in the above with the strategy of the site to start with a wireframe (pencil sketches of how the content needs to be laid out to work effectively to get the desired results) which will inform the layout.
Even more important than style or layout, I would design around the content and let it dictate whether style of layout should have priority. In my past experience, I find that people try and do layout and realize that the content doesn't allow (or isn't structured) to say for example responsive design. Alternatively, people try to focus on style and find that the complexity of information means that the styling options also become too difficult to implement consistently.
So I think let the data or content make the decision for you and not the other way around. | <urn:uuid:61b25caa-ad91-45c0-b090-8e2e89429645> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://ux.stackexchange.com/questions/87919/style-before-layout-or-layout-before-style | 2024-04-24T03:56:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.965962 | 562 |

Vested is diversified venture
Vested provides diversified exposure to the VC asset class, across all stages and sectors.
Vested acquires venture equity by helping employees exercise stock options
Over 50% of employee stock options are never exercised.1 Employees generally don’t understand their stock options, and often can’t afford to exercise them.
Vested provides employees funding to exercise their options in exchange for a portion of their shares.
Our technology lets us scale across the VC asset class
We use technology and data science to reach and transact with everyday employees from thousands of VC-backed companies. Other option funding solutions rely on high-touch, manual business models that limit them to doing only large deals in a handful of popular, late-stage companies.
Vested products aim to avoid the common pitfalls of VC investing
- Concentration Risk: While most VC funds are concentrated in just 20-40 companies, Vested’s last fund had over 200 positions.3,4
- Inflated Prices: Many VCs pay higher prices because they are competing with each other. By helping employees directly, Vested gets similar exposure at notably lower prices.
- Deal Flow Access: The best VCs get the best deal flow and thus the best returns.5 If you aren’t investing with a proven, top-tier VC, an index investing approach is an appealing alternative.
Diversified exposure to the VC asset class
Is the company healthy?
- Credible VC backing
- Promising valuation growth
- No recent and significant negative news
- No recent and significant investor attrition
Vested considers a ~10,000 company investment universe that meets our criteria.
Is there negative seller behavior?
- No dumping of stock options
- Not fleeing a failing company
Vested's employee counterparties want to be shareholders in the companies they are leaving.
Are the deal terms acceptable?
- Price near the Fair Market Value of common stock
- Deal size aligned with portfolio needs
Vested buys equity at a substantial discount to the prices paid by VCs in a company’s most recent financing round.
We set concentration limits to ensure our products are properly diversified.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a disorder in which the bowels don't function as they should. They become very sensitive and then squeeze too hard or not hard enough, causing stools to move too quickly or too slowly through the intestines. IBS is also called "spastic colon" or "irritable colon."
IBS is not a contagious illness or life-threatening disease, but it is a real medical disorder that can cause painful symptoms and compromise a person's quality of life.
There is no cure for IBS. It is a chronic condition, but symptoms can be managed through medication, diet, stress relief techniques, fiber therapy and other approaches.
IBS is affected by genetic, physical, emotional and lifestyle factors, but the exact cause isn't known. It may result from changes in the muscle function or nervous system signals between the brain and bowel, including reactions to stress, hormones and other factors.
Different people have different IBS symptoms. A person can have one symptom or several, from mild to severe. The most common symptoms are bloating, constipation, diarrhea, gas, mucus in the stool and abdominal pain. Some people with IBS also report depression and anxiety.
IBS symptoms can be triggered by many different factors. Certain foods and drinks can be triggers, including fried, fatty or spicy foods and caffeinated or carbonated beverages. Hormonal changes from menstruation, stress and certain medications also can bring on symptoms. No two people have the same set of IBS triggers.
People with IBS tend to develop a "cluster" of symptoms, but typically one is more bothersome or severe than the rest. The type of IBS a person has is based on the predominant or main symptom they experience, such as constipation, diarrhea and "alternating" or "mixed" constipation and diarrhea.
Only a doctor can diagnose IBS. Sometimes, pinpointing IBS as the cause of a person's symptoms is a process of ruling out other disorders or diseases that could be responsible. The diagnosis process can include discussions with your doctor, physical exams, medical tests and referrals to other health care professionals.
If you think you have IBS, take the self-assessment quiz on this site. If your symptoms are not ones usually associated with IBS, such as fever and weight loss, you may have another condition or illness. In either case, make an appointment with your doctor.
There is no method for avoiding triggers or alleviating symptoms that works for everyone. There is no perfect IBS medication or treatment, either. But you can put together an individualized plan, with your doctor's help, for managing and treating your IBS symptoms. Your plan can encompass diet, fiber therapy, medications, exercise, stress management and/or "alternative medicine" approaches.
Diet has a major impact on the type, frequency and severity of your IBS symptoms. Changing what, how much and when you eat, especially with input from your doctor and a dietitian, can help to reduce symptoms. Adding more fiber, for example, is one way to control IBS through diet.
The physical movements of exercise help to stimulate normal contractions in your intestines, which can minimize IBS symptoms. Regular exercise also can help to decrease physical and emotional tension, build confidence and provide social opportunities, which can prevent people coping with IBS from feeling isolated by their condition.
In people with IBS, the intestines seem to be extra sensitive to emotional or physical stress. Their tendency to "overreact" can trigger or worsen the digestive problems of IBS. The better you're able to manage stress, the more successful you can be in reducing the frequency or severity of your IBS symptoms. Information on stress management techniques is available to people who join the Living Well with IBS program.
Some alternative and complementary therapies have been used and studied as IBS treatments, such as acupuncture, hypnotherapy, herbs and supplements and probiotics. Talk to your doctor to get input on alternative therapies.
The Digestion-Friendly Recipe Center on this site offers recipes developed specially for people with IBS by a dietitian and physician. To get access to the center, join the free Living Well with IBS program on this site.
No medicine can cure IBS, but there are a variety of over-the-counter and prescription medications that can ease particular IBS symptoms. Medication options include drugs that relax the bowel muscles, slow down or bulk up stool, change how the body senses pain, prevent bacteria from growing in the bowel or stimulate intestinal nerves.
If you have questions about a drug that's recommended to you, talk to your doctor and pharmacist first. You also can research prescription and over-the-counter medications online. This site contains links to certain drug information sites.
Read our tips for talking to your doctor and other health care professionals about your questions and concerns. The tips are available to you when you become a member of the Living Well with IBS program on this site.

Fiber is a natural component of many vegetables, fruits, beans, grains and nuts. Different plants contain different types of fiber, but they all contribute to a healthy digestive system.
Including more fiber in your diet can help you to control your IBS symptoms. Extra fiber from plant foods or fiber products can make your stools soft but firm -- and more comfortable to pass. If you have loose, watery stools from IBS, for example, fiber can firm them and "slow you down." If you have constipation, fiber can soften your stools and "speed you up." Citrucel's SmartFiber is proven to help restore and maintain regularity and it's the only fiber that won't ferment to cause excess gas.
If you've lived with a sensitive system for any length of time, you know there are no easy answers. And yet, so many people keep offering the same suggestion: fiber.
Fiber therapy products are an effective way to treat constipation and ensure regularity. Fiber adds bulk and texture to foods. As it passes through the body, fiber helps your system stay regular, and that's why many doctors recommend fiber to help manage constipation.
Normal, regular bowel movements can be difficult to define, because what's regular for someone else might not be regular for you. Some people go too frequently, some not enough. But Frequency isn't the only attribute to consider when determining if you are regular. The shape and consistency are also important. The shape should be sausage-like. And the ideal consistency ranges from soft and smooth to soft with a few cracks in the surface.
Fiber is a natural cleanser and regulator that prevents stools from becoming too loose, dry or hard. It absorbs up to 30 times its own weight in water, bulking up and softening other material in the digestive tract.
There are two types of fiber, both of which can promote regularity and are found in naturally healthy foods. Soluble fiber, the key ingredient in fiber therapy products, is found in oats, apples, barley and many other foods. It dissolves in water. Psyllium and methylcellulose are both soluble fibers, but methylcellulose does not ferment in the intestines and cause gas. Insoluble fiber is found in whole g rains, nuts and many vegetables. It does not dissolve in water.
Eat more fiber-rich foods such as breakfast cereals, vegetables, whole fruits, beans and whole grains. Add more fiber into your diet gradually, to let your body adjust. Even if you work hard to maintain a healthy diet, you still may not be getting enough fiber to notice an improvement in their IBS symptoms. That's why fiber products can be so valuable.
Fiber therapy is a treatment for constipation associated with IBS and other medical conditions that involves adding more fiber to your diet with fiber products like Citrucel with SmartFiber. The extra fiber those products deliver can change the shape and texture of stools for the better, which is why fiber therapy can be beneficial for people with constipation and diarrhea.
Doctors often recommend over-the-counter products made with plant fiber to treat IBS symptoms and other conditions. Fiber products are available in different flavors and forms, from traditional powders to "soft chews" to caplets.
Some are "dietary supplements" that can increase your fiber intake but have not been evaluated by the F.D.A. for their ability to treat a specific condition. Some, like Citrucel with SmartFiber, are "fiber laxatives" that add bulk and water to your stool to promote regularity.
Citrucel with SmartFiber is a fiber product that doctors often recommend for fiber therapy to people with IBS symptoms. Citrucel with SmartFiber helps to soften and add bulk to stools, which can help to control symptoms.
Citrucel with SmartFiber is 100% soluble fiber that does not ferment in the intestines, so it won't cause embarrassing excess gas*. Only Citrucel has SmartFiber - the fiber you need without the fiber effects you don't. It also dissolves completely in water and is non-allergenic and gluten-free. Citrucel with SmartFiber is also available in powder, sugar-free powder, caplet and soft chew products.

Ever since the latest-generation of gaming consoles hit the scene in 2020, they’ve been hard to find. Thankfully though, restocks on the PS5, Xbox Series X, and the Xbox Series S during the holidays have become more frequent.
And with such a popular holiday wish list item, it can be incredibly difficult to track down in-stock gaming consoles. Luckily, Verizon (VZ) – Get Free Report is delivering the best of both worlds for the Xbox Series S.
Verizon is currently offering the compact Xbox Series S console in-stock, and it’s a full $70 off the MSRP. That means $229 for the Xbox Series S with no-strings attached and on-time delivery for the holidays.
So let’s break down the deal on the console along with some accessories that are the perfect complements.
The Arena Media Brands, LLC and respective content providers to this website may receive compensation for some links to products and services on this website.
One of the nicest things about the Xbox Series S is its size. It’s downright compact and won’t tower over your home entertainment cabinet like the Series X or PS5. Don’t let the small size fool you though–the Series S can play all of the major titles that you’d expect to play on a Series X.
Performance also cruises along thanks to a more modern architecture, and it supports gameplay at up to 120 frames-per-second. The gameplay is also at a full 1440p resolution which will look sharp and crisp on any modern TV. Models from Samsung or Sony with gaming modes can even enhance the experience with dedicated gaming modes. Whether you want to explore a galaxy far, far away, battle it on the sports world, or go on a wild adventure, any title will look great here.
At a full $70 off, Verizon is offering the lowest price we’ve tracked for the Xbox Series S, and this is a dynamite gift for any on your list. Verizon is currently offering the console in-stock for quick shipping, but we can’t guarantee how long that may last.
Want to pair a console with an extra controller for a multiplayer experience, or are you shopping for someone who already has a console? We’re highlighting some deals on accessories and games ahead.

Alfalfa is often referred to as the ‘father of herbs’, and because Alfalfa’s roots often grow more than 20 feet deep, it makes them very resilient to drought, which provides the plant with a rich source of nutrients that are not always available at the ground’s surface. Alfalfa is a natural source of vitamin D, E, K and B vitamins.

Use Echinacea for Your Health- What Echinacea Can Do for You
Edited by Robbi, Eng, Lynn, Dougie-1 and 1 other
What is Echinacea?
Echinacea is a group of flowering plants in the daisy family. The nine different species of Echinacea are commonly known as coneflowers and are native to the eastern and central parts of North America.
They have a diverse habitat and can be found growing wild in many places, from open wooded areas to prairies and grasslands. They are also commonly grown in ornamental gardens for their large, showy flowers that bloom from the early part of summer and into autumn.
This herb has a long and interesting history of medicinal use. It was used for centuries by the Plains Indians to treat any number of ailments, from snakebites to sore throats. It was also used as an overall analgesic by many tribes. It is said that the Native Americans discovered the beneficial properties of Echinacea when they observed elk seeking out and eating the plant when they were sick or injured.
By the early part of the 20th century, echinacea was a popular herbal medicine in both America and Europe and it continued gaining popularity after German research was done in the 1920 to investigate its properties.
There have been many trials and studies conducted to test the effectiveness of echinacea as a treatment for various illnesses. Unfortunately most of the studies have had mixed conclusions and in many cases the studies themselves have been flawed.(1)
The Benefits of Echinacea
- 1It is most widely known for purportedly stimulating the body's immune system and therefore being able to ward off aliments such as colds and flu.
- 2While there is no hard evidence to support this claim, some studies concluded that echinacea increased the immune system's "non-specific" activities.
- 3This means that unlike a vaccine, which is only effective against one or two different virus structures, echinacea can help to stimulate the cellular activity responsible for fighting off all types of infections.
- 4There are also many people who claim that when taken in doses of four to five cups of tea a day when the first symptoms appear, echinacea reduces the severity and length a cold.
- 5One potentially helpful compound in echinacea is phenols, which are commonly found in other plants.While studies are inconclusive, if you look at the chemical makeup of echinacea, it can help to understand what, if anything, it can do for you.
- 6These phenols are believed to be one of the things that makes olive oil so beneficial. They also have polysaccharides, which are known to boost your mood through the production of "feel good" hormones.They have anti-clotting as well as anti-inflammatory qualities that can be considered beneficial.
- 7In truth, whether there are any health benefits or not, when you are sick, a cup of hot tea is almost sure to make you feel better, so why not try it?
- 8You needn't spend an outrageous amount of money on supplements in pill form, when a few cups of echinacea tea every day will give you a sufficient amount of the herb to boost your immune system naturally.
- 9There are no known dangerous side effects from echinacea, but because it is thought that phenols may be related to some endocrine-disruptive chemicals, it is not recommended for those with autoimmune disorders.
Further Reading and References on Echinacea
- Largest ever clinical study into echinacea finds herbal remedy CAN protect against colds Clinical Study
- Clinical Study: an extract of echinacea showed an increase of 50-120 percent in immune function over a five-day period (Jurcic, et al. 1989).

Can CBD improve my health?
First: congrats on being open minded enough to try the newest up and coming health supplement.
You won’t be happy to hear it -- but there is a very simple reason why you are sick. When you understand why you aren’t healthy -- reaching your health goals becomes much easier.
Nature has everything we need to live happy lives.
Most of us are born healthy -- and there is nothing stopping us from getting back to full health.
Some of us have had challenges since birth -- but having them doesn’t mean we can’t get better or have less pain and discomfort.
As you learn more about CBD, you’ll hear the endocannabinoid system (ECS) mentioned again and again. It is important because it is what allows CBD to work so well.
Your ECS is a regulatory system in our bodies that influences everything from our breathing to our interactions with other people. CBD gives it the boost it needs to do what it was made for: balance your body and help it heal itself.
Now here’s a tough truth:
Why you are sick
There is always a reason why we are sick -- sickness rarely just appears out of thin air.
We are healthy when our body, mind, and spirit are balanced and healthy.
Sickness comes from one or or many things that cause imbalance. These can include:
- Deadly habits such as drinking and smoking
- Harmful mindset caused by emotional trauma (depression)
- Physical trauma or injury
- Lack of nutrients and poor diet
- No physical activity and exercise
- Inherited diseases and genetic traits (Epigenetics have shown we can overcome most genetic dispositions)
There are so many different things that can affect your health. That’s why it’s so important to make sure your body can regenerate and balance itself out.
CBD has become popular because of its across the board balancing effects. It deserves every one of the +1,000 studies that are conducted with it every year. Its filled with substances that can boost your health in completely different ways.
But even CBD is just part of the larger picture.
Balance is ESSENTIAL
Our bodies don’t need dozens of different pills to work right.
Their built in ability to heal comes right back as long as we nurture them and take care of them correctly.
Don’t know what we’re talking about?
Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Sensory isolation tank: Not as scary as it sounds! You’ll float in a salt filled tank for as long as you like (we recommend 90 minutes). Without sight, smell, touch, or taste, your mind will have no distractions and have several physical and emotional benefits.
- Panchakarma: a Pancharkaram is a cleanse in Ayurveda Medicine. It is originally from India and has become popular in the west over the past decades.
- Meditation: Studies have shown daily meditation reduces stress, increases confidence, and gets rid of anxiety.
- Yoga: Yoga is an amazing way to get our daily dose of physical exercise. It stretches our bodies, frees our minds, and puts us in touch with our inner selves.
- Improve your diet: Ayurveda and floating tanks can be expensive. If you are on a budget your best bet to improved health is improving your diet. Cut out anything with high sugars or that is heavily processed.
- Recover from Trauma: You can’t have a better future if you are still holding on to the past. Forget, forgive, and go beyond whatever past experiences you’ve had.
Becoming completely healthy isn’t as simple as hopping on the next “new” diet or buying some magic pills.
You have to be ready to improve your life, and make the necessary day to day changes. That’s not to say you can indulge in life: you just need to have balance and moderation.
If you are ready to improve your health, CBD is a supplement that can play a massive part in getting you feeling happy, full of energy, and worry free. | <urn:uuid:965fc543-a7d2-49b6-948e-9e0a40b5dbd9> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://vitaleafnaturals.com/pages/can-cbd-improve-my-health | 2024-04-24T02:26:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.958905 | 877 |
FIFA received four bids to host the 2027 Women’s World Cup, the football’s governing body said on Monday, with the hosts set to be appointed at its Congress in May next year.
Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands have submitted a joint expression of interest to host the tournament while the other joint bid includes the United States and Mexico.
Brazil and South Africa were the other two countries to submit a bid. FIFA said it would send the Bidding Agreement to all interested countries, who will have until May 19 to confirm their involvement.
“We are thrilled by the expressions of interest received, not least because they come from member associations with a strong football tradition representing four confederations,” FIFA secretary general Fatma Samoura said.
“All member associations can rely on the most robust and comprehensive bidding process in the history of the FIFA Women’s World Cup.”
The hosts will be appointed by the FIFA Congress via public voting on May 17, 2024.
Australia and New Zealand are co-hosting the 2023 edition of the tournament which kicks off on July 20. The U.S., Mexico and Canada will co-host the men’s World Cup in 2026.

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
- Arthur C. Clarke
Greetings, weary traveler. Through luck, or perhaps fate, you have found yourself in the company of Finton Merrybrook, the greatest storyteller in all of D'veen!
You come at a fortuitous time. I was just recalling the story of King Barrister, and his struggle against the Verack Horde. I see by your reaction that you've heard of them, those cursed invaders from beyond the stars that laid siege to the city of Giant's Bane.
Grab a drink, make yourself comfortable, and let us begin...
Prologue: Concerning The Realm of D'Veen
The realm of D'veen was once a flourishing microcosm of races both terrifying and whimsical, with humanity at the center of this strange and beautiful world. Over time, they all fell.
The dwarves constructed armies of clockwork soldiers and dove far too deep into the belly of the world. They awoke sleeping gods beneath the mountains in the east, and now are survived only by their rusted automatons.
The Magiri, strange beings without a true form or visage, who once bestowed the gift of magic unto the world, were consumed by their own pursuit of a spell that could grant immortality. They fell to death's grip before they could perfect the forbidden incantation.
The Aluthian Titans, elemental demigods who fashioned the realm from stardust within their celestial forge, departed to create a new world. The shattered remnants of their moon are a permanent reminder of their complete and utter failure, and a blemish upon the night sky.
Today, the continent of D'veen is populated only by scattered kingdoms of men, ruled by bickering leaders who rarely speak with one another.
It is here that our story begins.
I. The Tale of The Blackened Knight
The Verack Horde appeared on a day like any other. With the sun hanging high in the midday sky, they descended upon the kingdom of Giant's Bane in a sea of lightning and fire.
King Barrister of House Rigel exploded outward onto his balcony, his jaw agape in utter awe at the sight of their metallic vessels.
It was not long before they made their intentions known. From within their ships, out poured strange and terrifying monstrosities.
Among them were beings that resembled humans, but stood twice our height and wore full suits of armor that shimmered in both the sun and moonlight. From within their helmets that bore no space for eyes or a mouth a striking blue light escaped, one that would haunt the dreams of the King's knights until their last breath.
The first encounter was a massacre. Amidst the sea of corpses and scorched flesh, one knight emerged still drawing breath. His weapons and armor were augmented by the strange magics of the invaders, able to break through their armor and cleave through their flesh with ease.
It is said that, as he walked the great distance back to the gates of Giant's Bane, the ashes of his fellow knights clung to his once polished armor, leaving him scorched and black as the night sky.
It was this tale that would earn him the title of Blackened Knight, though Sir Alistair Wolfguard would not be given a warrior's welcome. For his use of the invader's dark arts, he was labeled a blasphemer and conspirator by the King's priests.
The King had little choice but to exile him for his crimes.
II. The Siege of Giant's Bane
The King's scholars named these invaders the Verack Horde. Verack, in the old tongue, translates to "The Creator's Folly." Indeed, King Barrister and his scholars believed these invaders to be a cosmic mistake, one that must be righted by the hands of men.
And so, the King sent word to his estranged neighbors, and despite all reason they answered. Meanwhile, the Verack Horde built towers of steel that dwarfed even the highest peaks of the castle in Giant's Bane.
It was not clear what purpose these towers would serve until it was too late. Over ten thousand men answered the call for help, but when scouts were sent to survey the battlefield, reports returned to the King's ear that the towers which now surrounded his kingdom reduced any and all who approached to dust in a flash of blue light.
The King and his allies were trapped like rats in a flooding cellar, and the water levels were quickly rising.
As food and supplies dwindled, the King became desperate. One morning, when the servants came to wake his daughter Neara, they found that she had gone missing. She left a note, offering only a single clue to her whereabouts:
Seek me out at the tomb where marigolds grow...
III. The Pleas of a Desperate King
The King knew that his daughter had not been taken, but rather, had departed of her own volition.
For you see, this was not the first time the King had seen the haunting blue light of the Verack Horde. Years prior, Queen Faeryn disappeared under mysterious circumstances, and all that the King saw before his beloved was gone forever was a flash of brilliant blue light.
No doubt when Neara witnessed the ominous blue light, she saw a way to get her mother back.
With no one else to turn to, the King summoned the Blackened Knight to his throne room. Alistair was reluctant to the King's wishes after his exile mere weeks ago.
"You cursed me, blackened my name like the armor I once wore in your honor, and now you come to me for aid?" Alistair asked.
"Your knowledge of their dark magic can turn the tide of this war!" The King declared.
"Not magic, such things have long left this world. The Verack Horde’s capabilities do not follow the path of magic. They are not ruled by chaos, but instead governed by order and structure."
The King knew of what Alistair suggested.
"You mean to say that the Verack Horde's weapons and armor are the products of science?" The King asked.
"Indeed. And though I know such practices are forbidden, I have learned of their trade, mastered their weapons, and survived against insurmountable odds. You would not see reason then, so what has changed?"
The King lowered his head.
"She has gone to them. My daughter, Neara. You once had a daughter, did you not?"
King Barrister had played the heartstrings of the Blackened Knight like a masterful bard, and it was a melody he indeed knew all too well. With his task set before him, the newly reinstated Sir Alistair Wolfguard went to work.
IV. A Battle For The Ages
Sir Alistair, together with his fellow knights and the bannermen who slept in makeshift tents just outside the kingdom's walls, went to work digging through the salvage of prior encounters with the Verack Horde.
Sir Alistair's knowledge allowed them to imbue their swords and spears with newfound power. Their armor too would now deflect projectiles that would otherwise burn them from the inside out.
The plan was simple: they would send the might of their entire army to overwhelm and disable the towers that laid siege to the kingdom. Amidst the chaos, Sir Alistair would slip into the neighboring forest and head to where the Verack Horde's ships rested. A place where marigold flowers grew in vast numbers, surrounding a monument to Queen Faeryn.
An empty tomb that nonetheless held the grief and the pain of both her family and her people.
It was a cold and cloudy day when the King’s army assembled on horseback, wearing armor fashioned from shards of strange metal, and wielding weapons powered by forces beyond their understanding. Sir Alistair Wolfguard led the charge with a bellowing war cry.
The knights raised their swords, brandished their spears, and held them to the sky as they approached the looming towers. Arcs of pure energy crackled through the air, but not a single knight was turned to dust. Instead, the weapons absorbed the energy until they pulsated with a power beyond measure.
With a single burst that burned brighter than a thousand suns, the knights sent the energy back towards the towers, shattering them like glass. Sir Alistair stole away from the army as the Verack Horde emerged to fight back. As the battle ensued, he made way for the tomb where marigolds grow.
V. The Fires of a Broken Heart
When Sir Alistair reached the tomb, he found the King's daughter, Neara, already locked in combat with a vast machine shaped like an elongated sphere, supported by a mass of metallic tentacles that flicked and snapped at Neara.
To his surprise, Neara fought with a dexterity and skill not seen among women of the realm. The Blackened Knight joined the fray, deflecting the machine’s relentless attacks.
"I was told to come and rescue you!" Sir Alistair shouted.
"I trained with my father's knights! I am no mere damsel in distress, Blackened Knight, though I welcome your assistance!" Neara replied between strikes.
In that moment of weakness, one of the metal tentacles wrapped itself around Neara and lifted her up from the ground.
A surge of energy shot through the tentacles holding Neara, but the attack was not meant to kill. Instead, Neara saw a flurry of images in her mind's eye. She saw her mother, strange rituals conducted by the Verack Horde, and watched as their scientists drained the Queen of her blood.
"You...you killed her," Neara whispered.
A soft light pulsated from within the center of the machine that held her.
Her sacrifice saved countless others. You must do the same, or our entire race will perish. You carry with you the blood that would save our people.
Neara clenched her fists and let out a scream of pure agony.
"YOU KILLED HER!" She screamed.
Neara's eyes began to glow with a brilliant crimson light. All around her flames emerged from her skin, building in intensity until they started to melt the very metal that held her in place.
Sir Alistair looked on in awe. This was no feat of science...
This was magic.
The flames exploded outward from Neara, tearing through the metallic beast that held her in place, scorching the trees, consuming the grass beneath her feet, and ripping through the ships that had brought the Verack Horde to D'veen. Sir Alistair was spared her wrath.
As the lights of the tentacled monstrosity flickered and died out, a final pulse of blue light shot out from the wreckage, winding up into the sky and traveling past the shattered moon that hung silently amongst the stars.
Sir Alistair ran to Neara's side and held her as she sobbed.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't control it," she cried.
"It's okay Neara, it's over," Sir Alistair said.
The pair remained silent. Outside the forest, on the battlefield, the Verack Horde all ceased movement and collapsed where they stood. The remaining fighters all breathed a collective sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, the Blackened Knight and Neara embraced one another as the ashes of an entire civilization burned around them.

Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin has serious questions for ATF officials about their botched March 19 SWAT team raid, which killed Little Rock Airport executive director, Bryan Malinowski, in his home. And if ATF has bodycam footage of the fatal raid, Griffin wants to see that, too.

From The Truth About Guns:
The bill, AB 3067 by Democrat assemblyman Mike Gipson specifies: “In addition to existing regulations, an application for homeowners’ or renters’ insurance shall include questions regarding all of the following: (1) Whether there are firearms kept in the household, including in any accessory structures, and if so, how many. (2) Whether the firearm, if any, is stored in a locked container in the home, including any accessory structures, while not in use. (3) The number of firearms kept in a vehicle located on the property subject to the applicable insurance policy, and if any, whether they are stored securely in a locked container while not in use.”
The 32-page study, which is titled “Defending Democracy: Addressing the Danger of Armed Insurrection,” not only revisits and revises the Jan. 6th protest – even though no protesters were armed and the only casualty was 35-year-old Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt, who was shot and killed by Capitol Police – it resurrects actual armed insurrections from American history, such as Shays’ Rebellion of 1786, the Whiskey Rebellion of 1791 and the American Civil War.
The three authors, who are all attorneys with a history of paid anti-gun activism, clumsily raise the insurrection boogeyman to push for additional regulations for carrying firearms, tactical training prohibitions, additional gun-free zones, expanded Red Flag laws, and the repeal of state preemption statutes, which has long been a major goal of the gun ban industry. Preemption laws prevent local jurisdictions from enacting their own gun-control regulations, which would result in a patchwork of gun-free zones.
From Bearing Arms:
Among specific points brought up regarding what this bill will restrict was, “training to engage in such behavior.”
But let’s be honest, what lawmakers claim a bill will do and what the text says can be quite different. I was already uncomfortable with what I was reading, since “patrolling” has a specific meaning in a lot of contexts, but I can also see someone applying it to a pro-gun march with some folks open carrying.
Arguably, even your kid’s tae kwon do class would be illegal, since that would be training in “techniques capable of causing bodily injury” at a minimum.
Luckily, it’s not quite that stupid. It does require certain other conditions to be met as well. The problem? Those conditions are kind of a low threshold to clear.
From The Truth About Guns:
NY Attorney General hates the thought of everyday Americans owning firearms. She works tirelessly to attack gun owners at every turn, including trying to run the NRA out of business. As if her current civil corruption trial of Wayne LaPierre isn’t enough, on Wednesday she launched a new front in her war for civilian disarmament: surplus Lake City 5.56 ammo.
She’s partnered with 19 other state attorneys general to prod the Biden Administration to shut down civilian sales of excess Lake City 5.56×45 ammunition. While that might not sound like a big deal, that ammo represents 30% of civilian sales of that flavor of AR-food.
“California’s Department of Justice had been permitted to share ‘identifying information of more than 4 million gun owners’ collected by the state during the background check process for firearms purchases with ‘qualified research institutions,’ ostensibly to aid in the study of gun-related accidents, suicides and violence.”
The “personal information” includes “names, addresses, phone numbers, and any criminal records, among other things.” What “other things”?
From Bearing Arms:
U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez delivered another scathing rebuke to the state of California on Thursday, just weeks after declaring the state’s ban on “large capacity” magazines unconstitutional. This time around it was the state’s ban on “assault weapons” that was before the judge, in a case known as Miller v. Bonta. Benitez was unsparing in his criticism of the law, which he says bars ordinary Californians from possessing commonly-owned arms that are protected by the language of the Second Amendment.
From Fudd Busters:
These recent events could just be a coincidence:
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE, aka the ATF) has directed the Ultimate Training Munitions company to cease all sales to civilians in the United States, leading the company to announce it will no longer sell to civilians.
However, we started hearing from a number of people late this week that Lake City had moved to cancel all of its commercial contracts. We’ve also been told that distributor supplies of .223/5.56 had begun to be drained, as a result of the move by Lake City and in anticipation of higher civilian ammunition demand following last week’s terrorist attacks in Israel. Then Staple Defense published this report.
One woman died and two men were injured Friday morning in an explosion at a Hornady Manufacturing plant west of Grand Island.
From Fox News:
President Biden signed bipartisan legislation Friday that reverses his own administration’s decision to defund school shooting sports courses nationwide.
The president signed the Protecting Hunting Heritage and Education Act, which restores federal funding for elementary and secondary school hunting and archery programs after the Department of Education began withholding such funding earlier this year. According to the White House, the legislation “clarifies that Federal funds may be used to provide certain weapons or training in the use of weapons within educational instruction or enrichment activities.”
The Liberal public safety “plan will keep Canadians safe and protect their rights, without resorting to the politics of fear or letting ideology trump evidence in decision-making.” On guns specifically, the Liberal Party asserted that the Conservative government, under then-Prime Minister “Stephen Harper has steadily weakened our gun laws in ways that make Canadians more vulnerable and communities more dangerous. We will take pragmatic action to make it harder for criminals to get, and use, handguns and assault weapons.”
At the end of July, Statistics Canada (StatsCan), a federal government agency, released year-over-year crime data for 2022.
The increase “included higher rates of robbery (+15%), extortion (+39%), homicide (+8%) and level 1 sexual assault (+3%),” and the rate of Level 2 assault involving a weapon or bodily harm has increased every year since 2015. The general Crime Severity Index (which measures changes in the level of severity of overall crime in Canada from year to year, with “more serious offenses hav[ing] a greater impact on changes in the index”) had declined every consecutive year since 2004, dropping from 106.84 (2003) to 66.90 (2014). This downward trend began to reverse in 2015, and, with the exception of the pandemic year of 2020, the annual CSI continues to rise. In another notable milestone, the homicide rate in 2022 reached a level that has not been seen since 1992.
A story published last month revealed that Harris was the latest home-based gun dealer to be targeted by the ATF. Harris and others say the ATF chose to harass and intimidate home-based dealers into voluntarily surrendering their FFLs because they know most lack the financial resources to mount a legal defense and fight back.
“The ATF didn’t follow their own protocols,” Harris said. “Now, they’re making up allegations.”
One of Harris’ longtime customers created a GiveSendGo account, which has raised nearly $20,000, although Harris will likely need much more. | <urn:uuid:d7efb1f7-f381-46c8-b835-fdefe851a308> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://warriortimes.com/tag/war-on-guns/ | 2024-04-24T03:52:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.949037 | 1,782 |

All the food rescued each day typically is gone by noon, on its way to feed hungry people served that same day by our recipient groups, charities serving the needy.
Waste Not Want Not volunteers distribute the rescued food to local charities assisting the needy. By providing this rescued food to charities, Waste Not helps them maximize their limited financial resources. Emergency Food Programs (food pantries, soup kitchens, and shelters whose primary mission is to provide food to people in a hunger crisis) can feed more people. Non-Emergency Food Programs (those whose primary purpose is to provide services other than food assistance, such as youth programs, client training, housing assistance, and residential facilities) are able to devote more funds to their core mission by reducing their food costs. | <urn:uuid:7522f5a8-1b12-4928-8419-5d7f7c86dfb3> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://wastenotflorida.sslmb.com/our-work/ | 2024-04-24T03:08:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.966681 | 162 |
At Waterside Primary School, we are committed to supporting the emotional health and wellbeing of our pupils and staff. We know that everyone experiences life challenges that can make us vulnerable and at times, anyone may need additional emotional support. We take the view that positive mental health is everybody’s business and that we all have a role to play.
“Mental health is a state of well-being in which every individual realises his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her or his community,” (World Health Organization, 2014).
Two key elements to support good mental health are:
- Feeling Good – experiencing positive emotions like happiness, contentment and enjoyment. Including feelings like curiosity, engagement and safety.
- Functioning Well – how a person is able to function in the world, this includes positive relationships and social connections, as well as feeling in control of your life and having a sense of purpose.
Our role in school is to ensure that children are able to manage times of change and stress, and that they are supported to reach their potential or access help when they need it. Children are taught when to seek help, what help is available, and the likely outcome of seeking support so that they have the confidence and knowledge for themselves or others. We also have a role to ensure that children learn about what they can do to maintain positive mental health, what affects their mental health and how they can help reduce the stigma surrounding mental health issues. As part of our targeted provision, we have and continue to access, outside help and support for pupils when required.
At Waterside, we believe that teaching about mental health and emotional wellbeing as part of a comprehensive PSHE education curriculum is vital. PSHE is central to the curriculum across the whole school. The concepts covered in PSHE include keeping safe and managing risk, identity, equality, managing feelings and emotions, relationships, change, resilience and being healthy, which includes physical, mental, emotional and social well-being. We aim to promote pupils’ wellbeing through an understanding of their own and others’ emotions and the development of healthy coping strategies.
Good mental health and wellbeing is just as important as good physical health. Like physical health, mental health can range across a spectrum from healthy to unwell; it can fluctuate on a daily basis and change over time. Children at Waterside have two lessons of PE each week. A range of sport-related after school clubs are run by teachers and external coaches.
We include World Mental Health Day and Mental Health Awareness Week in the school calendar and plan activities for the whole school.
At Waterside, we use a programme called Red2Blue where children will develop the mental skills and resilience needed to perform under pressure. We understand that pressure comes in all different forms and this is why the Red2Blue programme is so effective with our children.
The Red2Blue programme provides an immediate accessible link between mindset and performance, enabling pupils to recognise when they are diverted, and access tools in the heat of the moment to get back on task.
As a Red2Blue School, all staff and pupils will develop and coach the mental skills and resilience needed to perform under pressure, while also building a sustainable performance culture.
Red2Blue Key Points:
1. In the Red Doesn’t Stop You Completely: Being in the red doesn’t always bring things to a halt (though sometimes it can), but it does impact the quality and enjoyment of what you do, potentially affecting others.
2. Shift Attention to What You Can Control: When it feels like everything is closing in, shifting your attention to the one thing you can control changes the dynamic. You start working on the problem.
3. Find the Blue Dot Under Pressure: The goal is to find that blue dot under pressure, but it doesn’t guarantee everything will feel pleasant. Accepting discomfort is part of freeing up your attention.
4. Acknowledging Discomfort for Better Management: Acknowledging discomfort doesn’t make it vanish, but it does empower you to manage it more effectively than pretending it isn’t there.
5. Shift Attention, Not Avoid Thinking: It’s not about avoiding thoughts; it’s about redirecting attention to something else.
6. Keep Attention Fluid and Keep Moving: Like a kayaker navigating rapids, keep attention fluid. The kayaker knows what to do, scanning the scene, making decisions, and applying their process.
The key is to keep moving! | <urn:uuid:be3080da-61bd-40d9-8504-c9c509fa5649> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://waterside.stoke.sch.uk/our-inspiring-curriculum/personal-development/red2blue | 2024-04-24T03:17:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.958664 | 947 |
Following the death of industrial Europe, rave emerged as Europe’s last big youth movement. This book considers the social, political and economic conditions that led to the advent of rave as a ‘counterculture’ across Europe, as well as its aesthetics, ideologies and influence on contemporary art and beyond
When Jonáš Gruska is not busy giving workshops on urban sonification, creating his own recording instruments, making electromagnetic fields audible or organizing a solar-powered (experimental) music festival called SVUK, you’ll find him under bridges, inside bridges, in ventilation systems or near oil refineries exploring the psychoacoustic properties of sound in industrial spaces
This piece of sound equipment emits low frequency infrasound waves, which causes those in its path to release the contents of their bowels—or more colloquially, to “shit themselves”. This kind of sound cannon has its roots in sonic weapons first developed by the Nazis for the purposes of crowd control, and purportedly also by the French authorities during the Paris riots of 1968
Nik Nowak‘s sound objects combine the aesthetic qualities of sculpture with utility or functional objects, and explore urban or military phenomena at play in everyday life
There is a surprising similarity in the way neural networks and analogue modular synthesizers function, in that for both, voltages are passed through components to produce data or sound. The neural interface we developed juxtaposes these two networks and in a sense creates a continuum that creates one unified network. With CellF, the musician and musical instrument become one entity to create a cybernetic musician, a rock star in a petri dish.
The work takes the shape of a matrix of 99 balloons that inflate individually to surround visitors in a physical, sonic, and visual experience. The piece inhales and exhales, expands and deflates, building up an almost claustrophobic experience that aims to echo the crises and dilemmas our society is going through
At this year’s edition of TodaysArt, Mike Rijnierse will submit a 100 kg church bell to regular sessions of bungee jumping. The sounding bell will drop from a bungee jump tower at the Scheveningse Pier near The Hague and its sixty meter fall will cause a Doppler effect…
Moritz Simon Geist is a classical musician and a robotics engineer who builds his own musical instruments. The most famous of them is the MR-808, an oversized replica of the TR-808 produced by Roland to reproduce drum sounds. This 1980s electronic drum machine imitated the drum so inadequately that it actually created its own sound. The distinctive ‘thump thump’ became an integral part of hip hop music, gained iconic status with Marvin Gaye’s Sexual Healing and reached such a cult position within the music industry that even Kayne West paid tribute to the machine in one of his hit albums
The synthesizer simultaneously synthesises variations in the Earth’s magnetic field with cosmic rays and Jupiter’s noise storms
Aernoudt Jacobs is an artist fascinated with sound in all its forms and possible expressions. He collects fields recordings around the world but he also creates installations based on Bell’s photoacoustic effect that reveals the sonority of any material hit with a strong beam of light, builds sound microscope that magnifies the freezing and melting process of water or suspends coils, magnets and 1000 tin cans into the air to play with the laws of electromagnetic induction and create tiny vibrations that produce sounds
A quick post to let you know about the really REALLY nice book i received the other day. I can’t stop playing with it. The publication celebrates Staalplaat Soundsystem’s brilliant work
The sound of empty space explores relationships between microphones, speakers, and surrounding acoustic environments through controlled, self-generating microphone feedback. By building flawed technological systems and nullifying their intended potential for communication, the ear is turned towards the empty space between components; to the unique configurations of each amplifying assemblage
In September 2012, the English Disco Lovers movement was founded, as a subversive Google-bombing campaign, looking to replace the English Defence League website as the top result when ‘EDL’ was searched on Google
Lacplesis Technology is a group of three projects that aim to rise discussion about the balance between two paragraphs of the article 27 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights:
“Everyone has the right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts and to share in scientific advancement and its benefits” and
“Everyone has the right to the protection of the moral and material interests resulting from any scientific, literary or artistic production of which he is the author”
Recent travels have brought Peter Cusack to the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, Ukraine; the Caspian and other potentially dangerous places. Most are sites of major environmental/ecological damage; others are nuclear sites or the edges of military zones
The Wind Tunnel project filled with site-specific commissions two wind tunnels buildings, known as R52 and Q121, that were built to test planes, from Spitfires to Concorde, from the first world war onwards. These buildings were decommissioned after the 1960s and have remained closed to the public ever since
Darsha Hewitt built a whole installation that exploits the inherent and irritating glitches emitted by vintage baby monitors. The receivers are attached to motors and slowly bow back and forth in front of the emitters, creating a subtle soundscape of nuanced feedback patterns and squelching radio interference reminiscent of the whimpers of crying babies
Inspired by Bell’s patent for the photophone (a kind of telephone that uses light instead of electricity), artist Arcangel Constantini developed the Phonotube which uses fluorescent tubes and strips of leds as light instruments and sound sequencers for audio and visual performances
A thrilling remake of a 1904 experiment in which live trees antennas act as antennas for radio contact. Simple and magical at the same time: the combination of nature and technology. This concept was not developed any further at the time, but now BioArt Laboratories has decided to take up the challenge again
The work of Owl Project goes from simple ironic devices such as the iLog which is a log that thinks it is a music player to large scale installations such as ~Flow which was a floating tidal waterwheel powered electro acoustic musical instrument responding to the river Tyne in Newcastle. Owl Project has also toured festivals and events with their rather ingenious Sound Lathe, a musical instrument based on a traditional green wood turning pole lathe that explores the relationship between the crafting of physical objects and the shaping of sound
There will be live events, an on-line auction and special broadcasts. We really need your help this year but the good news is that Janek Schaefer, Yuri Suzuki, Rie Nakajima and many other exciting performers will party, perform and fund raise with us. Do join!
This brilliant little exhibition considers the connections between craft practice and sound art in the ‘digital age’. Exploring the physicality of sound, the works are characterised by both their sonic properties and materiality
Ototo is an experimental printed circuit board (PCB), which, combining sensors, inputs and touchpads, allows you to easily create your own electronic musical instrument
At the moment of being heard brings together works and performances by a group of international artists, musicians and composers engaging with sound and modes of listening
I had an exchange of emails with Mario De Vega to talk about Thermal, a performance in which he uses microwave ovenss to alter the molecular composition of different materials. The work also uses custom-built hardware to sonify the electromagnetic activity produced by the overheating of the content of the ovens
The event brought together two men who share a passion for whales. One is environmental scientist and marine biologist Mark Peter Simmonds who investigates and raises awareness about an issue that is far away from our sights: the threats to the life of marine mammals caused by the increasing emissions of loud noise under water. The other is artist and inventor Ariel Guzik who has spent the last ten years looking for a way of communicating with cetaceans
Marco Donnarumma is a young performer and sound artist who gained fame across the world for a series of performances and instruments that use open biophysical systems to explore the sonic dimensions of the human body. His interactive instrument Xth Sense won the first prize in the Margaret Guthman Musical Instrument Competition and was named the 2012 “world’s most innovative new musical instrument”
Behind its menacing aspect, SPPS considers selectively permeable structures under lenses that range from the molecular level to the macro scale.It explores the (xenophobic) history of immigration in Australia and more generally current infrastructures that define socio-political boundaries. It also looks at the history of biowarfare, from Antique Chinese gunpowder rockets carrying poisonous material to virus injected into chicken eggs
Atau Tanaka is a composer and performer whose practice bridges the fields of media art, experimental music, and research. During the show we will talk about the relationship between art & tech and how it has evolved over the past few years, about reenacting one of John Cage’s performances, about the space and place for (new) media art in the contemporary art world, etc.
Drones / Birds: Princes of Ubiquity taps into the debate of an increasing autonomous technology, connected to machinic vision, the post-human and the New Aesthetic. Core to the exhibition are digital artifacts and instances of the computational or digital in nature. Birds as objects reflecting our contemporary relation with technology
More than 2 years ago, i was interviewing Marguerite Humeau about her attempt to bring back to life the voice of extinct creatures by reconstructing their voice box. She started by giving her voice back to Lucy (aka Australopithecus Afarensis), one of the first hominids. Since then, the resuscitation endeavour has expanded to more extinct animals. A mammoth, the Walking Whale and the Terminator Pig have now joined the loud party. The prehistoric creatures where recently in Eindhoven for the STRP biennial where they performed live for the first time together with Dutch musician and DJ Jameszoo. Sadly, i missed the performance. But that gave me a good excuse to contact Marguerite and get more details about her work
The participating artists not only play with distortions of the “real”, but also pioneer new ways to interact with their work. The formal exploration of new interfaces is as much part of their preoccupation, as is the content of their work, and the kind of commentary on the current state of reality we live in
Very few artists manage to translate scientific phenomena into stunning images as elegantly as Carsten Nicolai. If you’re in London, don’t you dare miss Observatory at Ibid Projects.
The works on show visualise diverse physical occurrences. From the ground floor to the top floor, the installations, videos and photographic pieces investigate phenomena that get further and further away from our daily experience
Three large-scale installations that experiment with scientific phenomena and pay homage to Nikola Tesla. The works can be experienced without mediation but each of them also conveys several layers of meanings and readings, whether you’re intrigued by the technical description or by the sheer beauty of the sparks, lightening bolts, and sonic properties of the works
This week we are talking with Nelly Ben Hayoun about space science technologies, aliens and music. The designer spent a whole Summer in California to direct the International Space Orchestra. The cast of the opera is pretty spectacular. It is performed by space scientists from NASA Ames, Singularity University, International Space University and the SETI Institute. The music was composed by Damon Albarn, Bobby Womack, Maywa Denki and Arthur Jeffes. The lyrics are by Bruce Sterling & Jasmina Tesanovic. Finally, Grammy-Award winner Evan Price was in charge of the musical direction
By reinventing an obsolete low-tech sound wave generator in this all-digital age, Bzzz ! serves as a commentary on the history of technology and a tribute to unprocessed, unsampled analog sound : in a word, the raw sound of electricity
Eye For Ears is an essay on the film and its soundtrack. During the shooting, the sound and the image was recorded separately, and synchronized on the editing. A portrait of the machines, manipulated by their invisible creators
eCLIPSe surveys the creativity of music videos with a selection of the 50 videos that may be considered crucial for a proper appreciation of the discipline. Perhaps there are some missing but all that are included are beyond dispute. The clips are divided into several sections, to be screened in separate projections, starting with a historical overview and continuing with monographs devoted to who we believe to be the most seminal video directors: Michel Gondry and Chris Cunningham
I met Signe Lidén over the Summer at the FARM festival where she was performing the sound pieces she had recorded while traveling on a rural train line in Southern Italy.
I had actually come upon the work of this young artist several times in the past. Two years ago, when i visited Bergen for the Piksel festival and back in May when i spent a whole afternoon listening to the sound files and watching the videos collected for the project The Cold Coast Archive: Future Artifacts from the Svalbard Global Seed Vault.
Being more used to visual arts, i’m fascinated by Signe Lidén’s work, by the way uses field recordings to evoke and communicate the places and spaces she investigates.
My guest on the show is Dr. Jonah Brucker-Cohen whom i’m sure you all know. Jonah is a researcher, artist, and writer. Apart from his work as an artist, Jonah has been teaching in several universities in New York, lecturing internationally, writing essays for magazines focusing on technology and since he is teaching a course called Designing Critical Networks at Parsons in New york, i thought he’d be the perfect guest for a program which covers issues such as social media, subverting network experience, hacking, and internet censorship. We also took the time to focus on some of his own works, from the now legendary Wifi Liberator to Scrapyard Challenge Jr. 555 Noisemaker Kit and America’s Got No Talent | <urn:uuid:bbd72904-0d36-4b1b-9603-3f383a4068f1> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://we-make-money-not-art.com/category/sound/page/2/ | 2024-04-24T02:58:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.947264 | 2,977 |
