Everyone is Welcome! An Exhibit by Barbara McGuire
You’re invited to personal show that I will be having July 14th, 4-8pm in the Asheville NC River Arts District, Historic Cotton Mill Building. I am hosted by the lovely Ka Amorastreya in her gallery of visionary art paintings and exquisite headdresses. Ka was formerly exhibiting at the art's council gallery in June. Her personal studio is a perfect setting for the show, titled ‘Seeing Through Now’. This wearable art is a series of ‘Statement Jewelry’ designs primarily reflecting feminine and nature imagery. Media includes ceramic, metal clay, polymer millefiori, wire, lamp work glass, found objects, sterling silver and semi- precious stones. Many pieces include components of metal smiths, lamp workers or wire artists I have known throughout my years of teaching. I am grateful to experience an integrated voice by embracing the flow of interconnecting works. Limited engagement! The Show closes Sunday July 15th and thereafter I will post the work online for all to see! But please come if you are in Asheville, NC – It will be a very special event and party!
Saturday 7/14 4-8pm.

Have you ever experienced symptoms of a clicking jaw or earaches? Commonly referred to as “TMJ” in reference to the temporomandibular joint, temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are common issues that occur when the jaw joint is misaligned and causes problems such as pain, inflammation, and the inability to move or operate the jaw. Here at Peter Lok Acupuncture, we offer alternative therapy for TMD through acupuncture.
What are the causes of TMD?
There can be a variety of causes for TMD and can arise from problems with the jaw, the muscles near the jaw, or the joint itself. Some common causes for TMD include:
- Injury to the joint, jaw, or muscles along your neck and face
- Grinding or clenching your teeth which puts pressure on the joint
- Movement or dislocation of the soft cushion, or disc, between the joint parts
- Arthritis of the joint
- Stress, which can cause you to tighten facial or jaw muscles
- Tooth/jaw misalignment
Signs & Symptoms
Patients with TMD often experience severe pain and discomfort that can be temporary or chronic. Symptoms depend on the severity and cause of your condition and can show on one side or both. Some of the most common symptoms of TMD include:
- Pain in the face, jaw, or ear area
- Pain or pressure around the ears, face, and behind the eyes
- A clicking or popping sound when opening or closing the mouth
- Dislocation of jaw
- Locked, stiff, or stuck jaw
- Tenderness of jaw muscles
- Limited jaw movement
- Swelling of the face
- Dental occlusion (the way the upper or lower jaw/teeth fit together)
Many of the symptoms of TMD can overlap with other conditions such as tooth decay, gum disease, sinus problems, or arthritis. While we are able to help provide relief of your symptoms, it is important that you seek an official diagnosis from your dentist, orthodontist, or primary care physician to ensure there aren’t any underlying conditions that may need to be addressed.
While there are several treatment options your dentist, orthodontist, or primary care physician might recommend, acupuncture offers a drug-free alternative for pain relief. Some of the most effective acupoints for facial pain include:
The back of the hand
Between the second and third metatarsal on the foot
Above the hyoid bone located in the neck
Though these acupoints are not located in the neck, they have been proven to help relieve orofacial pain, specifically that associated with TMD.
Every case is unique, so we take extra care and customize our treatment plans to best address your needs. If you have any questions about acupuncture for TMD, please contact Lok Acupuncture Clinic, Ltd. today so that we can help. | <urn:uuid:7267c340-04ac-4eb7-b8c4-bdd14dfb759b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://lokacupunctureclinic.com/acupuncture-for-tmd/ | 2024-04-16T03:51:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.940273 | 608 |

About this deal
Every Power Rangers fan knows that the American version of the show uses a lot of footage that comes directly from the Japanese series Super Sentai, but not everyone knows that many of the Super Sentai props were sent to America to use in Power Rangers. then, because i hate abyss pkers so much, i will wait for my spec bar to replenish, then go back to him and empty it on the pker another time. Possibly related to the failing powers, the Dagger appeared to have a curved blade which had never been seen before or was seen again.
The special attack's highest possible hit under normal combat conditions is 50 damage for each of the two hits, or a total of 100 damage. After Lord Zedd destroyed them, Tommy did not get any power back until the Wizard recreated them and gave them to Tom Oliver, his evil clone. I’m super pumped to have something I didn’t know I wanted and feel even better about it because of its craftsmanship.Of course, his powers are very different from the Mighty Morphin Green Ranger, but as a reference to his old version, Tommy dreams about the Dragon Dagger and the Dragon Shield before taking the Black Dino Ranger mantle. Stretching from the all-new Beast Morphers back to the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the Power Rangers have brought teamwork, action, and adventure to fans of all ages. If casting either of the alchemy spells on a dragon dagger, use a cleaning cloth on poisoned versions to make more profit, as the value of the unpoisoned dagger is higher than any of the poisoned versions, 18,000 coins compared to 14,400 coins.
I do wish that the female figures didn't have the exact same build as the males, and their skirts are incredibly fragile and inhibit their posing, but compared to nowadays where the female figures get no vehicles at all, this is wonderful. Every instruction manual is designed in-house by our team of experienced professionals, and is rigorously tested for quality to ensure every step is easy to follow. After Tommy briefly lost his powers, he temporarily gave Jason his Power Coin and Dragon Dagger for safekeeping. We bring that to life here at Conscious Craft by offering you the best natural toys and craft materials we can find.
It wasn’t until my girlfriend and I watched the new Power Rangers movie last week that I remembered the greatness of the classic and began a nostalgic journey to find one of these. Five years after the events of Vekar’s invasion, Tommy was shown using his Master Morpher to transform into the Green Ranger.
I got a solid replica with metal parts, perfect paint and sound system that actually works and is fun.Following a fight with the Robogoat monster, the Green Ranger was left in a state of weakness so extreme that his attempts to summon Dragonzord with the Dragon Dagger failed. i tinks its an okay weapon, it just needs a bit of help (pray/pot) when specialing to get maximum damage.

Guide To Low Carb Options For Italian Cuisine
It’s an understatement to say Italian food is delicious. Famous for its pizzas and pastas, it may feel like a low carb diet won’t work with this cuisine. When friends suggest heading to the nearby Italian restaurant for dinner, you start to worry about what to order without blowing the carb count. This is a struggle we’ve certainly all faced before…
Don’t worry! We’re here to help you out with this easy guide to low carb options when dining at an Italian restaurant.
Foods to Avoid When Eating Low Carb at an Italian Restaurant
❌Garlic Bread. #sorryThis is a no-brainer but it needs to be said. As delicious as garlic bread is, it is far from low carb with one slice (approx. 60g) having around 42g of carbs. That’s more than I usually eat in a whole day!! Unless a friend orders it specifically, you can sometimes avoid the situation of the waiter just bringing some out by asking for a couple of bowls of olives as soon as you’re seated. That way you can avoid the temptation. |
❌Pizza. #verysorryUnless the Italian restaurant is an incredibly forward thinking establishment and offers pizza using our low carb Protein Pizza Base Mix then you’re out of luck here. It goes without saying that normal pizza is not low carb, containing anywhere from 100-300g carbs depending on the base, the size and toppings. |
❌PastaAnother Italian restaurant staple. Delicious yes. Low carb no. Skip the pasta dish. |
The Best Low Carb Entrees at an Italian Restaurant
✅ OlivesNature’s delicious little low carb snacks. They’re salty, come with different stuffings and are a perfect complement to other Italian dishes! Olives are a great entree and have only 6g of carbs per 100g (which is a lot of olives). For other low carb vegetables, check out our definitive list of The 50 Lowest Carb Vegetables! |
✅ Antipasto PlattersThe range of foods you can find on an antipasto platter is simply amazing! Who doesn’t love a delicious smorgasbord of meats, cheese, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, charred vegetables and more?! It’s hard to give an exact figure around carb content as they vary so much in what goes into them, but usually the food that goes onto antipasto platters is all very low carb. Just leave the bread sticks for someone else 😉 |
✅ Caprese Salad (or other salads)Fresh basil, mozzarella cheese, and juicy tomatoes covered in olive oil with lots of salt and pepper. Who said low carb is missing out?! This is a delicious and healthy low carb entree and would have around 7g of carbs for a 200g salad. |
The Best Low Carb Mains at an Italian Restaurant
When perusing the menu, a quick guide is if there are any mains that have either beef, veal, chicken or fish served with veggies, they’ll be a great low carb option. Below are some others to look out for. Keep in mind that chicken parmesan or even eggplant parmesan are higher in carbs from their crumb so probably hard to include in your carb count. If you are really craving it, you can make your own homemade crumbed chicken, fish, or eggplant with our Low Carb Crumb Mix!
✅ Grilled Portobello MushroomsMushrooms are a delicious low carb vegetable (see our definitive list for more), especially when they’re marinated with fresh herbs and garlic and then grilled. Mushrooms (by themselves) have only 3g of carbs per 100g! That’s incredibly low. The best part is that the toppings you’ll find on grilled portabella mushrooms are often quite low carb too. Just read the description and don’t hesitate to ask the waiter what they come with. |
✅ Seafood SaladBeing mostly seafood (protein) and salad greens (source of fibre), a good Italian seafood salad is going to be quite low carb and super delicious! Prawns, octopus, muscles and crab meat – yum! |
✅ Stracciatella SoupStracciatella is an Italian soup made with meat broth, spinach, parmesan cheese and small pieces of cooked egg. It sounds strange I’ll give you that, but it’s actually super tasty and because it’s mostly protein, fats and water – very low carb! An average bowl of Stracciatella Soup will have around 4g of carbs! |
✅ CarpaccioCarpaccio is an Italian dish of very thinly sliced raw meat (usually beef, veal, tuna or salmon) served with olive oil, lemon juice and for the non-seafood versions, parmesan cheese. You’ll often find this in the entree section but many places do have mains versions too. Being just meat, carpaccio is very high in protein and almost zero net carbs! |
✅ Insalata (aka Salads)Before you turn away from the idea of a salad at an Italian restaurant, there are usually some fantastic salad options. If you’re not feeling super hungry, then this could be the way to go. |
Want to make Low Carb Pizza at home?
You might not be able to have a standard pizza dining out, but why not make your own?Perfect for entertaining, one packet of our Protein Pizza Base Mix makes up 4 BIG 12″ Pizzas. Some of our favourite classic flavours are: Margherita, Vegetarian, Pepperoni and Cheesy Garlic. Each delicious thin and crispy base has just 6g of carbs and a whopping 50g of protein! It’s even gluten free too so all your friends can enjoy it. We’ve also detailed a Vegan Pizza Base recipe, so no one will be left out. | | <urn:uuid:e314cc4d-0429-4d35-a8f4-61d5f9d95e5e> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://lovepbco.com/en-nz/blogs/blog/guide-to-low-carb-options-for-italian-cuisine | 2024-04-16T05:23:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.928934 | 1,276 |

Mold is that gray-colored relief that sits on objects or clothing and can easily be removed with a simple damp cloth.

Mold and mildew are very common household problems, especially if your home is damp and has little sunlight, don’t think that they happen due to poor hygiene or poor cleaning of the environment or your clothes. And as mold and mildew are microorganisms that are harmful to human health, so it is important to clean well and eliminate moisture spots.

Do not despair, the solution may be simpler than you think, come check out our step by step now to get rid of this problem. 1 Clean immediately. As soon as you discover the mold stain, put the laundry on to wash and prevent the fungus from growing on your clothes. 2 Choose the ideal product. There are several products that can be used to remove mold from your clothes, choose the one that is most suitable for the type of fabric to avoid damage to your clothing, otherwise you are going to spoil the clothes. White vinegar is the most versatile of all and can be used in many different fabrics. It can be diluted with water and applied directly to the stain or you can soak the piece in this mixture.
In addition to white vinegar and heat, there are other homemade recipes that help and a lot in combating mold and facilitate the task of removing stains from moldy pieces, you can find them on the internet. Bleach is the most powerful product to stop mold, but for obvious reasons, it cannot be applied on colored clothes or on delicate fabrics. If the pieces are white and made of resistant fabrics, then you can go with everything without fear! Liquid or powdered Borax is also very effective and safe for colored clothing, but always test the product in a small hidden area to make sure it will not damage your garment, it is better to be safe than sorry. 3 Apply and rub. Having defined the type of product you will use to fight mold, apply it on the stain or soak the piece and rub the whitest spots with a soft brush or an old toothbrush. Try to do this in a well ventilated area so that the spores do not spread in the air and do not cause problems for your health.
4 Wash using hot water. Mold does not survive high temperatures, so check your clothing label guidelines and, if you can wash it in hot water, rinse the garment thoroughly with very hot water and washing powder, this will help you a lot. 5 Drying. If possible, let the clothes dry in the open air and in the sun. Take the opportunity to air all the other items that have been in contact with the moldy clothing so that the mold does not proliferate. If it is not possible to dry the parts in the open air, use the clothes dryer, the heat from the machine will help to eliminate what remains of the fungi.

Tourism Denies Demolition Of A Historical Building On Salah El Dein Citadel Premises
Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities Denies Demolition Of A Historical Building On Salah El Dein Citadel Premises
A few days ago, a video of a demolition operation went viral on social media platforms. Users quickly gathered that the operation taking place was on the premises of Salah El Dein citadel and expressed their anger.
The official spokesman of the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities explained during a phone interview with Lamees El-Hadeedi that “The building in question is part of a large project to develop the castle as a tourist and archaeological attraction, but it is an administrative one and not a historical.”
He added, “This building has been renovated several times, and within the framework of developing the castle as a tourist and archaeological attraction, according to the panoramic view of the castle, we decided that this building had to be demolished, and it doesn’t have any historical value, it’s an ordinary administrative building.”
He continued: “Such a thing can’t be done without proper research, and research concluded that this building is not historical.” | <urn:uuid:2a6250ce-95fe-478b-a257-199470b8bf7f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://lovin.co/cairo/en/latest/tourism-denies-demolition-of-a-historical-building-on-salah-el-dein-citadel-premises/ | 2024-04-16T04:55:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.947263 | 254 |

But let´s move on to the more festive part of the day. I am wishing every single one of my readers a very merry Christmas. Hopefully you get to spend the day with your loved ones and also use them to relax and unwind cause December always is such a busy month. Also I am giving a huge thanks to all of my readers. I am really glad to have you here on my little space of the internet. I appreciate all of you following along.
On another note I am so happy amazon Prime exists. I have forgotten two small things to get and they where available with Prime. Couldn´t be any happier cause it would have been a trip to real hell if I had to drive to the mall.
Be sure to check back tomorrow for some Christmas Eve outfit inspiration. I am totally straying away from red (even if it is just for one night) and I loved how it turned out.
Thanks for stopping by. Take care.

When it comes to renting property, having a clear and comprehensive rental agreement is an essential aspect of the process. The rental agreement is a legally binding document that sets out the terms and conditions of the tenancy agreement between the landlord and tenant. One such agreement is the House Rent Allowance (HRA) rental agreement format, which is a popular rental agreement format in India.
The HRA rental agreement format is primarily used in situations where the tenant is claiming HRA as a tax exemption. HRA is a benefit provided to employees by their employers to cover the cost of renting a property. In order to claim HRA as a tax exemption, the employee is required to provide proof of payment of rent to the employer. This is where the HRA rental agreement format comes into play.
The HRA rental agreement format includes all the essential terms and conditions of the tenancy agreement. It typically includes details such as the names and addresses of the landlord and tenant, the rental amount, the duration of the tenancy, and the security deposit. The agreement also sets out the responsibilities of both the landlord and the tenant.
One of the primary benefits of using the HRA rental agreement format is that it provides a clear record of the rental payment history. This can be used as proof of rent payment for the tenant to claim HRA as a tax exemption. Additionally, the agreement provides a clear understanding of the rights and responsibilities of both the landlord and the tenant, which can help to avoid any potential disputes.
When drafting an HRA rental agreement, it is important to ensure that all the relevant clauses are included and that the language is clear and easy to understand. This is where a professional can be a valuable resource. An experienced copy editor can help ensure that the agreement is not only legally sound but also optimized for search engines. This can help to increase the visibility of the agreement and attract potential tenants.
In conclusion, having a well-drafted and comprehensive rental agreement is essential for both landlords and tenants. The HRA rental agreement format is a popular choice for tenants looking to claim HRA as a tax exemption. Remember to seek the assistance of a professional to help ensure that your rental agreement is optimized for search engines and effectively communicates your message. | <urn:uuid:b12e36a5-de80-4893-bbcd-e4452b99615d> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://mahd-lujain.com/?p=55056 | 2024-04-16T05:22:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.954265 | 450 |

FLORENCE, Ala. – If Las Vegas sports books made betting lines on bass tournaments held on Pickwick Lake, several anglers competing this week at the Toyota Series Central Division tournament on Pickwick out of Florence, Alabama (May 28-30) would have astronomical numbers.
Included in those would be the leader after Day 1, perennial Pickwick powerhouse Buddy Gross, who blasted 24 pounds, 1 ounce to lead the pack of over 150 boaters fishing the first major tournament after the coronavirus shutdown.
Atkins finished Day 1 in second with 21-14. Wheeler sits in ninth with 18-2, trailed by Lambert in 10th with 17-9.
“Everybody wants to get out there deep, graph over them and catch 25 pounds in 5 minutes, I just decided I didn’t want to play that game,” Atkins said. “So in practice, I spent a lot of time scanning for structure in that 5- to 8-foot zone – hard spots, stumps and isolated grass patches.”
Atkins says that the ability to look ahead of his boat with his electronics was key.
“I can look out there and see those features out in front of the boat and make precise casts to them,” he said. “It’s by no means fast and furious. I’m fishing slow and only getting a bite about every 30 minutes or so. I probably only had 10 bites all day. So many people are looking for the quick motherlode these days; I decided to go back to just fishing and see what happens.”
It’s been four years since most of the MLF pros competing in this event fished a tour-level tournament on Pickwick.
“This place is pretty comfortable to me,” Lambert admitted. “I’ve been fishing here for 30 years – basically, starting when I was big enough to fish. I’m glad to be back in a tournament situation in general, but it would be pretty hard for me to pick a better place to restart this season than Pickwick.”
Lambert has notched eight Top 10s here in FLW events, dating back to an FLW Series event in 2008. Atkins isn’t far behind: the Mississippi native (who moved to Florence in 2015) has claimed five FLW Top 10s on Pickwick as well. Neal has racked up two second-place finishes at FLW Tour events held on Pickwick in 2014 and 2016.
“I’ve always said that Pickwick is my favorite place to fish, because it’s an offshore fisherman’s paradise, but it’s not as big as Kentucky Lake,” Neal said. “There’s plenty to look at here and plenty of places to fish. The big question this week is ‘Are there enough schools offshore to go around?’ It’s about two weeks behind. There are fish out offshore, but they’re all on the most obvious community stuff there is, so you’re going to have to find a little something to yourself where you can pull two or three fish a day that you weigh in.”
Day 2 action begins Friday morning with a 6 a.m. takeoff from McFarland Park, located at 200 Jim Spain Drive, in Florence. The weigh-ins will be broadcast at FLWFishing.com each day, beginning at 2 p.m. CST. | <urn:uuid:47e2f143-b3e2-46f5-bf45-7ab8061d1db5> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://majorleaguefishing.com/angler-news/atkins-second-after-day-1-at-toyota-series-on-pickwick-lake/ | 2024-04-16T03:30:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.972085 | 729 |

The wait is finally over. Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 Season 2 is here, and it comes with a lengthy list of changes, many of which are major improvements. Activision detailed a slew of patch notes for the all-new season, breaking down all the changes and fresh features. Warzone 2.0 has been in an odd spot lately, so it’s heartening to see so many positive changes. While there’s plenty to be excited about, which new features or changes are the most notable? Here are five of the most substantial additions to Warzone 2.0 Season 2.
Season 2 has introduced plenty of weapon changes in an attempt to balance and shake up the meta. While it’s unclear how exactly that’s shifted since the season is so new, one thing is certain: the top contenders from before are no longer overpowered. These include the Fennec 45 and the RPK, both of which were absurdly powerful previously, leaving most other weapons in the dust.
Surprisingly, these two firearms are actually still competitive, which is unusual following a weapon nerf. Typically, Activision will nerf a powerful weapon into the ground, making them practically unusable after an update, but the Fennec 45 and the RPK are still competitive without feeling like you have to use them to stand a chance. This does open the doors for other top-tier weapons like the M13B, Kastov 762, Lachmann Sub, and Chimera, adding more variety to the gunplay.
Warzone 2.0 finally has the “Play Again” prompt that comes up after a match. This one might seem insignificant, but it truly picks up the pacing, allowing you to immediately queue up after a match, without having to back out to the main menu and jump back into a lobby. When accounting for load times and button inputs, the time between matches before Season 2 would often feel excruciating, so this is a much-needed improvement.
Alongside weapon balancing itself, attachment tuning has received a notable change. Previously, tuning a weapon was often ill-advised, as the cons would frequently outweigh the pros. This wasn’t always the case, but it’s something that players had to be aware of when deciding to tune a particular weapon. Now, Activision has reduced the cons and elevated the pros, giving players more of an incentive to actually tune, and finally offering a compelling reason to use this mechanic.
Likewise, you’re now able to tune Laser attachments for the first time, which, for some reason, was a missing feature before. Now, players have a greater reason to utilize Lasers since they can be tuned and should be (especially since tuning is more beneficial).
Another seemingly insignificant update is the ability to move faster while applying an armor plate. This is actually a major deal, as it once again bumps up the pacing in a significant way. Previously, if you were to attempt to finesse an opponent who already landed shots on you, it was difficult, as you’d move at a snail’s pace while trying plate up. There were numerous times when you’d basically have no chance if an enemy shot at you first, but now, as part of Season 2, there’s much more you can do to survive, thanks to the plating change. Now, you can outrun your enemy, jump out a window, plate up, and reset the gunfight, without slowing down to a crawl.
This was one of the most requested features leading up to Season 2, as players were used to this mechanic from the original Warzone. In the first game, it was common to see players outmaneuver one another frequently while plating up.
Finally, I can’t discuss Season 2 without mentioning the return of Resurgence mode that takes place on the new Ashika Island. Resurgence mode is a fan favorite, allowing players to respawn continuously so long as at least one other person remains alive. This mode offers smaller-scale matches consisting of around 40 to 52 players, meaning you can get to the end in around 12 to 15 minutes, which is perfect for those with little free time.
As for Ashika Island itself, it’s a refreshing new map with a wide variety of points of interest (POIs). Unlike Al Mazrah, Ashika has fewer wide open spaces, which helps keep the action flowing. On Al Mazrah, you’d typically get caught in-between pieces of cover when rotating to different POIs, deterring players from moving at all. On Ashika, everything is much more condensed, with meaningful hubs scattered all around. There’s even an underground area that mirrors Fortune’s Keep, giving players multiple ways to navigate the map.
One of the best POIs is Tsuki Castle, which features a massive Japanese structure with multiple entrances, making it a fun place to battle your opponents. Although it’s only been out for a few days, we’ve already had plenty of memorable moments at this particular POI, and around Ashika Island at large — a great sign for the new map. | <urn:uuid:2ef8b564-378c-492b-8174-6e240395117d> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://makebigchange.org/2023/02/18/call-of-duty-warzone-2-0-season-2-makes-5-excellent-improvements/ | 2024-04-16T04:20:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.969948 | 1,066 |

Fourth of July Forecast
So you want to know about the weather forecast for the Fourth of July? Errr mer Gerd, it’s cool and cloudy! It’s June Gloom in July; the fourth is ruined! Relax.
Today we are going to be well below normal with high temperatures topping out from 60 to 65 depending on your location in Kirkland. Basically, the needle isn’t going to move much through the day. We’ll have a thick blanket of clouds but can’t rule out the sun peeking through from time to time. We’ll get another round of scattered light showers this afternoon and evening – stress scattered and light.
Wednesday will be more cloudy then sunny, and there is a chance in the morning for some drizzle or a stray shower. Temperatures will be 70 to 75, and the afternoon will clear up. In other words, Wednesday is going to be a textbook June Gloom day.
The Fourth, the big day, the event, it will have Air Force planes, tanks, VIP seats for Republican donors, screaming eagles, and an orange leader. Oh, that’s Washington D.C., I digress. For us, we’ll start cloudy, but no chance of rain or drizzle. The clouds will burn off to a spectacular day with high temperatures of 71 to 76. It is going to be a beautiful day and clear for fireworks.
Looking forward past the fourth of July, our unofficial start of summer (July 5) is also textbook for Seattle. Partly cloudy to sunny through the period, almost no chance of rain, with temperatures warming up to the mid-80s by the middle of the month.
Lowest tides of the year
There is also a special bonus for this Fourth of July. Puget Sound will be having the lowest tides of the year this week, and they are timed ideally. For the Duwamish Head:
Tuesday: -3.0 feet @ 11:14 AM
Wednesday: -3.4 feet @ 11:58 AM
Thursday: -3.0 feet @ 12:43 PM
Friday: -3.0 feet @ 1:31 PM
This is our annual chance to tide pool and it is happening when a lot of people have the day off. Remember to know the tides, don’t get stranded, wear the right footwear, and be safe. It will be very slippery out there. Also, remember not to harass the sealife and use leave no trace ethics.
Jetty Island Ferry starts daily service
Also! The Jetty Island Ferry in Everett starts its annual daily runs on Friday, July 5, 2019. The first ferry of the year will launch at 10:00 AM. From Friday to Sunday the ferry runs from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM, you can see the schedule here. Please note that ferry runs can be canceled due to extremely low tides, so it is likely ferry service will be disrupted this upcoming weekend. If you plan to visit Jetty Island, especially midday to the afternoon on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, call ahead for schedule information.

Treat Employees as Members, Not Transactions
Are people accepting employment at your company to add an impressive 18-24 months of experience to their resume? If that pattern is the norm, are you wanting to find serious people who view the opportunity offered as a career stop? People want to have friends at work, a sense of belonging, be held in high regard and have a chance to achieve their full potential. You can help them do those things. What if you were candid up front and told them what you promise for their challenge and fulfillment, what you expect them to promise and what will happen if it becomes time to part ways? Make promises that encourage team members to increase their loyalty and desire a relationship with your organization. It’s not difficult to make people feel wanted and as though they belong. When you are willing to live up to your side of the bargain and fulfill their desires, that is when they are willing to commit, work hard and go the extra mile. Learn how this new ‘membership vs. transactional’ thinking can cause you to look at the workplace, employees and teams with a renewed attitude and a desire to fulfill everyone’s needs.

This review is unique as it is my very first ever from a cruise ship! As my lady and I were exploring the ship on our first day aboard the Marketer’s Cruise, I found the BlueIguana Tequila Bar before we even left the port so of course I had to give it a try!
For this visit I tried their Blues Patron Margarita, made with Patrón Silver Tequila, Triple Sec, Agave Nectar and lime juice. This is seemingly a winning combination of solid ingredients so I was looking forward to trying it. It had a nice flavor with good sweetness, although it was a bit on the tart side. Overall, it was a good Margarita but nothing special. Still a decent enough Margarita to rate a 7.5. If you are on a Carnival Cruise ship, look for the BlueIguana Tequila Bar as it is available on many of Carnival’s ships. | <urn:uuid:3a1a5ef9-5dcf-49ef-a7cc-522d25213577> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://marcelsmargaritamadness.com/2023/01/28/blueiguana-tequila-bar-carnival-spirit-cruise-ship/ | 2024-04-16T04:56:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.976075 | 194 |
Investigators: Scott Steltzner (Squaxin) and Ryan Lothrop (WDFW)
Results from current and past studies indicate potential areas of high mortality on juvenile salmon and steelhead. One such high-mortality area is South/Central Puget Sound. Squaxin Island/South Sound Net Pen hatchery operations provide a high-value opportunity to fishers for both state and tribes: greater than 80% of adults from this hatchery are caught within Puget Sound. Its location is conducive to fishing as returning coho must swim through most marine areas and a variety of natural and intentional variables to entice residency so that year-round harvest opportunities exist. The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of physically moving juvenile coho salmon that were reared in deep South Puget Sound past mortality hot spots to release. It will test the hypothesis that when juvenile fish are moved past high-mortality regions, they will survive to return as adults in higher numbers. Additionally, although much research has been conducted on in-river barging, little is known about the impacts of marine barging. This study will evaluate the effects of barging juvenile coho through marine waters on survival and return rates. | <urn:uuid:2d46fa69-434e-4a12-b241-c1f88a35da43> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://marinesurvivalproject.com/research_activity/list/evaluating-effects-barging-transporting-coho-beyond-mortality-hot-spots-puget-sound/ | 2024-04-16T05:26:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.953175 | 248 |

InfoComm 2023: Developers Direct Sights on AV Over IP Because Integrative Tools are Helping Create New Software
The ongoing digital transformation calls for a significant shift in the world of audiovisual technology, with open standard AV over IP becoming an increasingly attractive prospect for developers. This subject was nothing short of being explored at last week’s InfoComm 2023. Macnica, a front-runner in this space, produces a variety of products that seamlessly integrate this technology into a wide range of products. Its wide ranges of selections and options have opened up endless possibilities for developers to put to the test. The company’s vibrant participation in industry events, where they showcase their technologies’ capabilities, speaks to their versatility and forward-thinking approach. But setting them apart is their efforts to integrate technology with newfound platforms, creating a new era of real-time AV applications aimed at revolutionizing how people interact with digital content.
Andrew Starks, the Director of Product Management at Macnica was at InfoComm 2023 and talked to Pro Av Today about the advantages developers can particularly enjoy when it comes to experimenting with AV over IP, and exactly how Macnica’s software pushes boundaries that assist them in spearheading new software.
Starks’ Thoughts on AV over IP
“At Macnica, we make the components and the software tools that developers can use to integrate open standards AV over IP into their products. That includes SOCs, FPGA IP, as well as software SDKs like our new M2S SDK, which makes it really easy for software developers to bring in video from external sources and to send it out. In fact, in our booth today, we’ve got just about every corner of our technology on display. We’ve got our software implementation integrated in with OBS. We’ve got our FPGA IP receiving SC2110 video from a couple of cameras. And we’re also even integrating in with Unreal Engine. We’re showing in real time video sources from IPMX and SC2110 integrated into Unreal. Just the kind of tools that developers are using today to create tomorrow’s exciting new applications.” | <urn:uuid:66f10600-6e96-4f6c-8b36-42b5a18f7e9c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://marketscale.com/industries/pro-av/infocomm-2023-developers-direct-sights-on-av-over-ip-because-integrative-tools-are-helping-create-new-software/ | 2024-04-16T04:49:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.926476 | 454 |

About the book:
A tragedy from the past resurfaces in this tale of family secrets and reignited love.
After her mother’s death twelve years ago, Lynette Carlisle watched her close-knit family unravel. One by one, her four older siblings left their Nantucket home and never returned. All seem to harbor animosity toward their father, silently blaming him for their mother’s death. Nobody will talk about that dreadful day, and Lynette can’t remember a bit of it.
But when next-door neighbor Nicholas Cooper returns to Nantucket, he brings the past with him. Once her brother’s best friend and Lynette’s first crush, Nick seems to hiding things from her. Lynette wonders what he knows about the day her mother died and hopes he might help her remember the things she can’t.
As their father’s failing health and financial concerns bring the Carlisle siblings home, secrets begin to surface—secrets that will either restore their shattered relationships or separate the siblings forever. But pulling up anchor on the past propels them into the perfect storm, powerful enough to make them question all they ever believed in.
Ms. West’s books will have you digging deep within yourself as you relate to one of the characters or more, in this novel. I am trying to think of what I liked best about it. I loved Lynette. She was this fragile, strong, wonderful character that you just wanted to be friends with. She did what she had to do to help her family, being the strong one, even though they thought she was weak.
There are romantic threads in this story, but that is not the focus at all. Instead, you find yourself addressing the emotional turmoil of having a father with Alzheimers and other twists and turns.
I loved each page of this book! I wanted to savor it and just not let it end. Every book by Catherine West, gets better and better, but this one, I just wanted more. I wanted more stories about the other siblings. I just hope the author can write faster. =) Just look at the cover too. If you are looking for a book to take to the beach this summer, this is the book.
It releases July 12, 2016. You can preorder it here! “The Things We Knew” I highly recommend that you do!

As part of the President’s energy strategy to help American families and businesses save money on their energy bills, the U.S. Department of Energy today announced that Daikin McQuay’s Rebel rooftop unit system is the first and only unit to meet DOE’s Rooftop Unit (RTU) Challenge. Five manufacturers — Daikin, Carrier, Lennox, 7AC Technologies, and Rheem—are participating in this challenge to design highly efficient commercial air conditioners that satisfy the DOE-issued specification for energy savings and performance.
The companies have until April 1, 2013 to submit a product for independent evaluation according to the specification. When built to meet the specification, these units are expected to reduce energy use by as much as 50% over current standards. Nationwide, if all 10- to 20-ton RTUs met the specification, businesses would save over $1 billion each year in energy costs, helping American companies better compete on a global scale.
Manufacturers nationwide have a strong motivation to produce highly energy-efficient air conditioning units for commercial buildings. Members in DOE’s Commercial Buildings Energy Alliances (CBEA), such as Target, Walmart, and other participating commercial building owners have expressed an interest in equipment that meets the new energy efficiency specification at an affordable price. The Department of Energy is evaluating potential demonstration sites for high-performing products that meet the RTU Challenge. In addition, the Department is also developing analytical tools that enable businesses to more accurately estimate the energy and cost savings of using high-performance RTUs in their facilities.
The RTU Challenge, aimed at spurring the market introduction of cost-effective, high-performance commercial rooftop unit air conditioners, was announced in January 2011. The specification that underpins the RTU Challenge was developed by DOE technical experts and informed by industry partners.
The final participant list was announced by Dr. Kathleen Hogan, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency, at the Energy Department’s first CBEA Efficiency Forum, a public stakeholder engagement event hosted by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colorado. In addition to the February 2011 announcements, the forum also featured a series of information exchanges on other energy efficiency initiatives that are underway. CBEA is composed of building owners, managers, and operators that collaborate with the Energy Department and with each other to develop and deploy best practices, key decision-making tools, and advanced technologies for significant energy savings. | <urn:uuid:bd86ae89-0451-46df-a17d-e561a01eb3ca> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://masonbarry.com/energy-department-announces-first-product-to-meet-the-commercial-rooftop-air-conditioner-challenge/ | 2024-04-16T03:58:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.95442 | 499 |

We’re still in our first house, mostly because this is where all the memories are. That maple tree in the center of the backyard, the one that towers over the second-floor roof? I had that tree in the backseat of a Chevy Impala on the day that Meghan was born. A child is born; you plant a tree. That’s hope. You plant a tree and imagine that someday you’ll hang a swing from a branch and you’ll push a giggling grandchild, and that’s how you see your kids through their lives. You hug them and teach them and you hope. The memories and the hope dance in the air around here, and that’s why we stayed. We moved in on a brutally hot day in July 1977. I bought some gardening tools and a push lawnmower at a garage sale and became a land baron on my 5,000 square feet. To liven up the front lawn, I planted some petunias down there at the end of the driveway, right on the corner of our little piece of the planet. I watered them and took care not to drive over them when I backed the Impala out into the street, but they didn’t thrive, and I couldn’t figure out why.
Then one day I got up early and was standing on the front lawn, just looking at the world and listening to the birds when Bill, the guy next door, came by with Baby on a leather harness. Baby was an old dog, built low to the ground and about the size and shape of a toaster oven. Bill had bought the first house in the neighborhood back in 1950 and he saw himself as the Mayor of the Block. He had something to say to everyone who passed by, and no one in our neighborhood knew what the heck they were doing, no matter what the project was. I know this because Bill would tell me so just about every day.
Bill wore his trousers up around his nipples and he used both a belt and suspenders. He had a world-class beer belly and a quick waddle of a walk, just like the dogs. I liked him.
So I’m standing there on the lawn, back in that first summer, and I’m considering the sorry state of the petunias when Baby lifts his stump of a leg right over my flowers and lets loose with more urine than a dog this size should be capable of producing. And while this is going on right there before my new-homeowner’s eyes, Bill is cooing to this hairy bag of urine, “That’s it, Baby,” he’s saying. “Thaaaat’s it. Come on, Baby. Get it all out. That’s a good boy.”
So I walk down to the end of my driveway and I ask Bill if he realizes that his dog, Baby, is peeing on my petunias. And Bill looks at me as if I’m the dopiest man who ever put on a pair of shorts and he says, “You can’t grow flowers here,” and he points to the wilting sprouts and the dog with the never-ending stream. “This is where Baby goes pee pee!” he says. “Baby has been going pee pee here since you were a pup! You can’t change that. Go plant your flowers somewhere else.” And then he shakes his head and chuckles to himself, as if I, at my age, really should have known that. And then he and his now-empty dog waddle down the sidewalk and into their own yard. I moved the petunias.
And I really liked the old coot. He and his wife, Marian, would sit on their front lawn in aluminum lawn chairs and look at their neighborhood and wait for people to ask for advice, which never happened. And he’d have a can of cold beer and always an unfiltered Camel on his lip, and the Yankee game on the transistor radio, and he’d talk to the players and cuss the umpires while she sat with Baby on her lap. She’d pet that dog all afternoon, and the dog hardly ever moved. It looked stuffed.
One day, Marian, told me that Bill wasn’t feeling well and that she was going to take him to the doctor, and three days later he was dead.
She wasn’t the same afterwards. She’d sit on a lawn chair in the shade for hours, and Baby would sit on her lap and she’d stroke his old fur all day long. And I’d chat with her but her heart was never in it.
And then Baby died. He was a very old dog, and they had squeezed more years out of him than I had ever though possible, but it’s always a horrible thing when a dog dies, especially one that really was the baby.
Marian sat on her lawn chair on summer days for some years afterward, and she stared down the street as if waiting for someone to arrive in a big black Buick. She sat with one hand cupped in her lap, palm inward, and with her other gnarled hand, a hand made beautiful by the years of housework, she stroked a dog that wasn’t there. An air dog.
Marianne and I would watch her from our yard and we’d look at each other and then at our young daughters playing in the sprinkler and we’d think about time, and habits, and how difficult it is to change routines, even as our daughters were developing their own routines. And our routines were hardening like cement, of course, because that’s the way people are. We all have our air dogs. I never again grew flowers at the end of my driveway.
All of these sweet memories came drifting back to me last night right after I finished a seminar here on the Isle of Long, my home. I asked the group a question that I’ve been asking for the past year or so as I travel around. I ask because the answer fascinates me.
“Can concrete hurt pipe?” I asked last night.
“Yes!” they said together.
“And what is in concrete that hurts the pipes?” I asked.
“Lime!” they said.
And it’s that way every time I ask the question, no matter where I am in America. It’s almost as though a huge chunk of the industry got together and shared this knowledge about lime and then vowed to pass it down to the next generation. Lime in concrete hurts the pipes.
“How does it hurt the pipes?” I asked.
“It eats them up,” they said.
“What is it about lime that eats pipes?” I asked.
No one spoke.
“Is lime an acid or a base?” I asked. “It’s a base,” someone said.
“Then how can it eat pipes?” I asked.
Everyone looked around the room. They knew that there was something in concrete that can hurt the pipes, but they weren’t so sure about the lime anymore, even though they had believed it all their professional lives.
I told them that I read in an old engineering book that if you were going to bury a pipe in concrete, and that if you wanted that pipe to last, you should surround it with (guess what?) lime. To prevent corrosion. Lime is a base and it counteracts the acid that’s in the concrete. The acid comes from the fly ash that the concrete people add to the concrete. Fly ash comes from coal-burning plants. It’s cheap and plentiful and it works so well with concrete. And it eats pipes. So we add lime. But hardly anyone knows that.
Most folks in this business will say LIME! when you ask them what’s wrong with concrete. It’s the exact opposite of what’s true, but somewhere along the way we picked it up and we keep it going out of habit. We pass it from generation to generation, and isn’t that something?
And I can sit back and marvel at that right here with you because I’ve been known to pet a few air dogs myself. | <urn:uuid:2acaf5a7-66b1-4cbc-9b02-20f40eb2ee7e> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://masterplumbers.com/views/pipes_in_concrete_can_corrode/ | 2024-04-16T04:32:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.983713 | 1,785 |
Squirrels can be very irritating – to say the least. You could be walking around your yard peacefully and then suddenly a squirrel will jump out of nowhere and startle you. This is a small annoyance compared to having nesting problems. There is nothing worse than discovering that squirrels are nesting in the attic of your home. In this article, we’re going to share a few helpful tips on how to prevent and get rid of squirrels from nesting within your home.
Here are a few ways to get rid of squirrels from invading your home.
Seal off all of the squirrels’ entrance ways up.
When you seal up squirrels entrance ways, it’s like placing a flashing sign that reads: No Vacancies. However, you must know how to seal up their entrance ways because squirrels can easily enter a home in a variety of ways. For example, if you have small holes throughout your house, they can easily squeeze their little bodies in and out of your house.
Using plastic or paper is for the birds (no pun intended). You have to use something that’s sturdy. Otherwise, they can easily pry their way back into your home with their little claws. Make sure you use the following items to seal up holes:
The items above are perfect to use when you want to cover up holes because animals can chew through them.
Hire a Tree Trimmer
What does hiring a tree trimmer have to do with getting rid of unwanted squirrels? For one thing, it will help cut off wild animal’s access to your home. If you have long tree branches that hang at least 5 feet from your home, you’re going to want to have them trimmed down a little. Squirrels tend to use tree branches to jump onto rooftops of houses and other areas throughout a home. This will help prevent them from breaking into your home.
Professional Squirrel Removal
If you’ve been looking for a squirrel removal company in Texas, there are hundreds to choose from. Master Services, Inc. is a wildlife removal company that helps homeowners and renters remove unwanted animals from their homes. This wildlife removal service has been serving the Dallas and Houston area for 16 years. They will remove animals from your home and provide you with helpful useful tips on how to stop animals from entering back into your house.
Squirrels are common to all states in the US. Do you have squirrels chewing on your siding of your house? Squirrels nesting in the chimney? Have a nuisance squirrel eating all your bird food? Squirrels can be entertaining to watch, but often need to be removed because of the nuisance they can cause on and in your house.
Live catch is simply being able to be close enough to grab the animal either by your hand (if young enough) or with a catch pole. Most squirrel babies are caught by hand once the mother squirrel is removed or isolated. Squirrels and raccoons are awfully cute, but they’re not something that you really want to tangle with. If a family of raccoons has moved in under your house, call on Masters Services for careful and humane wildlife removal. Houston homeowners please dial 713.723.4854 and tell us what you need us to capture and relocate.

Here’s the third installment of my ongoing series with Dr. Michael Heiser at The Naked Bible Podcast. This was a fun episode. As we continue to discuss the Old Testament’s messianic profile, we start by recognizing key motifs that occur throughout the Old Testament itself. In this episode, we talk about the “offspring” motif, which begins all the way back in Genesis and is one that Paul picks up later in the New Testament. We also chat about Israel’s election, that is, about their vocation to be the rescue plan for the world (invoking a little bit of N.T. Wright). Paul also has a thing or two to say about election—to put the matter lightly. Although, I’m not convinced that many modern people have fully understood what, exactly, Paul—or the Old Testament—means by the concept of election (you’ll have to listen to the episode below to see why).
Below is the description for this episode, followed by the audio.
In the previous episode with Dr. Matt Halsted, we discussed how trying to articulate the Old Testament’s messiah merely by appeal to passages that contain that word (Hebrew, mashiach) was fundamentally misguided. What was needed, we concluded, was a “storied approach” to the Old Testament. We begin that journey in this episode, considering not only why it is important to approach the Old Testament as a story (as opposed to a textbook or reference work), but how doing so reveals important motifs along the way. These story elements provide a framework for understanding the Old Testament salvation plan of God through a human being, one who was also the son of God, who only later would be called “messiah” in a handful of passages. The motifs, it turns out, are far more important than that single term. | <urn:uuid:3cbb7675-88f9-4ffc-81ba-b0035e3edd3b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://matthewhalsted.com/2022/02/21/tracing-the-messianic-story-on-the-naked-bible-podcast/ | 2024-04-16T04:08:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.96595 | 393 |
In the hustle and bustle of modern life, finding time for fitness can feel like an impossible task. Between work commitments, family responsibilities, and social engagements, it’s easy for exercise to fall by the wayside. However, prioritizing your health is essential for overall well-being, and fortunately, there are solutions that fit into even the busiest of schedules. One such solution is Anytime Fitness, a gym chain that offers accessible workouts tailored to your lifestyle, empowering you to kickstart your fitness journey on your terms.

From traditional strength training and cardio equipment to group fitness classes and virtual workouts, there’s something for everyone. If you prefer the camaraderie of exercising with others, you can join a group class like yoga, Zumba, or HIIT. If you thrive on variety, you can mix up your routine with different types of workouts each time you visit the gym. And if you prefer the privacy and flexibility of working out solo, you can do that too – Anytime Fitness gives you the freedom to choose the workout that’s right for you.
Moreover, Anytime Fitness understands that accessibility goes beyond physical location;
it also encompasses affordability. The gym offers flexible membership options to fit a variety of budgets, making it possible for almost anyone to access their facilities and services. Whether you’re looking for a basic membership that grants you access to the gym or a premium membership that includes additional perks like personal training sessions, there’s a plan that meets your needs without breaking the bank.
In addition to its physical locations,
Anytime Fitness also recognizes the importance of digital accessibility in today’s tech-driven world. That’s why they offer a range of online resources and tools to support your fitness journey wherever you are. From workout plans and exercise tutorials to nutrition guidance and progress tracking, Anytime Fitness provides the support you need to stay on track with your goals, even when you can’t make it to the gym in person.
But perhaps the most significant aspect of Anytime Fitness’s commitment to accessibility is its focus on community. While working out is often seen as a solitary activity, the truth is that having a supportive network can make all the difference in staying motivated and accountable. Anytime Fitness fosters a sense of community among its members through events, challenges, and social media engagement. Whether you’re cheering each other on during a group fitness class or sharing your progress on Instagram, the Anytime Fitness community is there to lift you up and keep you going on your fitness journey.

Originally known as the MacDowell Chorus which was formed in November 1909, under the direction of Kurt Schindler. Two months after its founding, Gustav Mahler, then the conductor of the New York Philharmonic, invited the chorus to perform with the orchestra. In 1912, Schindler changed the name to Schola Cantorum. Schindler continued to conduct the Schola until January 1926, when he accepted an offer to take charge of the Roxy Theatre. Hugh Ross later became the director of the Schola.

The Enormity of Centralized Costs

The metaverse will depend upon decentralized and distributed technologies. And with the Coinbase IPO, we’re likely to hear a lot of fear-uncertainty-doubt about a bunch of topics: one of the most common is the concerns over the energy utilization involved in cryptoassets, which is a core part of our decentralized future.
A lot of my friends in the game industry and the metaverse are worried — justifiably — about the climate and the future of life on Earth. This has come up frequently within discussions of how some games and digital art are innovating with non-fungible token (NFT) technology; it also comes up more broadly in virtually all conversations about cryptoassets.
Confusing Fixed Costs vs. Marginal Costs
Most arguments about energy utilization focus on one particular metric: the cost of a transaction. For example, people cite data about a single Visa transaction costing hundreds of thousands of times more than a single Bitcoin transaction, or data about the carbon footprint of a single Ethereum transaction.
Simple analogy: what is the cost of producing a widget at a factory? Is it just the cost of stamping that one widget in the factory? Or is it the totality of costs — the cost of constructing and maintaining the factory that supports the production? Most people can understand that the true cost of the widget isn’t just the marginal costs (e.g., the incremental labor, materials and energy used to make the widget) but all of the fixed costs that went into making the production possible. Similarly, marginal energy costs alone aren’t a logical or fair way to compare the costs of a centralized financial industry to a decentralized ecosystem.
Decentralization requires an investment in security and replication to make the blockchain reliable; this necessitates more energy at the transaction level, and the energy costs of mining are distributed across all of these transactions. What all of these discussions tend to ignore is the fact that the energy involved in a “transaction” is only a small part of the totality of the costs. To continue the previous analogy: they’re focused on the cost of stamping a widget, not the costs of the whole factory.
Let’s contrast decentralization with the costs of centralization.
Traditional industries have enormous infrastructure, essentially “operating leverage” that allows them to decrease the cost of transactions due to the enormous investments they’ve made in centralized infrastructure.
For the financial ecosystem, this includes:
Building and operating from skyscrapers, offices, bank branches, etc.
Operating and leasing datacenters
Maintaining and securing physical vaults
Employing standing armies of personnel
Networks of middlemen and bankers to service their preferred sources of capital
Private-jet fueled roadshows, business meetings, etc.
Mining, shipping, storing and securing precious metals like gold
The cost of the traditional financial system is revealed by what the credit card system costs us. It isn’t the “free” that you experience compared to cash at the point-of-sale or the tiny energy cost to move some numbers around in some central databases.
What credit cards actually cost is reflected better by the 2–3% of a sale that is charged to a merchant every time you buy something from them. Imagine how low large this adds up across the entire world of purchases. This 2–3% is used to cover the enormous costs of operating centralized infrastructure. And that’s just credit cards — every part of the centralized financial industry whether insurance, real estate transactions, equity markets or banking are leveraged by the trillions of dollars of capital behind their infrastructure and standing armies. And credit cards are just one aspect of this system.
ARK investment compared the total costs of Bitcoin vs. gold mining and traditional banking, and you can read their report on the efficiency of Bitcoin versus traditional forms of wealth savings:
There are a number of other factors that few understand about the present or future of how blockchains work, or how they’ll continue to become more efficient over time. We can get into some of these: such as the fact that smaller transactions of Bitcoin tend to be batched together; or that the Ethereum blockchain is moving to exponentially more energy-efficient proof-of-stake solutions; or the fact that in my own industry — games and the metaverse — most NFTs are already on low-energy proof-of-stake platforms like WAX, Flow or Immutable X.
These are all great points to make, and speak to the spirit of innovation that energizes the decentralization movement — but they’re actually distractions. If someone wants to bring up the energy costs of cryptoassets, it is fair to ask them: how do you feel about the alternative — the total costs of operating the traditional industries?
More than likely, they don’t know, or they haven’t thought about it. They’ve been locked into institutionalized power systems that support these large investments of capital and their incredibly huge energy costs. Decentralization is about reducing our dependence on these institutions: their rent-taking, their winner-picking and their enormous costs in energy, innovation and society.
There’s a cost to making this transition — the marginal energy cost of decentralization will likely be higher on a per-transaction basis than the marginal energy costs of the traditional industries. But the totality of all costs (when fixed and variable costs are considered together) of decentralization is likely already much lower, and the technology improvements in store over the next several years are likely to reduce the marginal costs as well.
For people who care about the environment, decentralization is what they ought to celebrate.
If you’re curious about the role of decentralization in the future of the metaverse, here are a few other articles I’ve written you might enjoy:
The Permissionless Metaverse discusses why decentralization is an important aspect of maximizing creativity, options and experiences.

Despite the fact that today, there is a great variety of professional carpet cleaning products, many people still trust only proven home-made cleaning recipes. There are many reasons: the efficiency proven over the generations, the low cost of the methods, and their simplicity. However, in order to really clean the carpet and not damage it, you need to know how to do it right.
How to Clean the Carpet with Baking Soda?
Perhaps this is the most common domestic carpet cleaning method, replacing in critical cases professional carpet cleaning services. Basically, there are two main reasons for this. First, baking soda effectively copes with the typical problems that can be seen on any carpet. Second of all, you cannot damage the carpet with the application of too much soda. There is not a wrong way to apply soda. Cleaning the carpet with soda is also recommended if the old carpet began to lose its original brightness.
The procedure is simple. It is necessary to dissolve the soda in warm water (calculated as one or two tablespoons per litre), mix it, and then treat the surface to moderate moistening of the pile.
When the surface dries, it will be enough to walk with a vacuum cleaner – and you will see for yourself how effective carpet cleaning with soda can be.
How to Clean the Carpet with Salt?
This domestic carpet cleaning method is suitable if you need to remove a fresh stain – or if you want to refresh the carpet after knocking out in the snow. The fact is that salt absorbs moisture perfectly and draws out particles of dirt or any contaminant. Therefore, it is enough to rub the fine salt with a wet, hard brush into the surface, wait a bit and sweep the grains.
How to Clean the Carpet with Ammonia?
Typically, this method is suitable if you want to return the good look of a long-pile carpet.
To clean the carpet with ammonia, you need to take about three tablespoons of washing powder and a spoonful of ammonia in five litres of water.
It is strongly recommended to wear protective gloves before doing such deep carpet cleaning at home: ammonia is an aggressive substance, and when you apply the solution to the pile, you can slightly, but still damage the skin.
And do not forget to blot the treated area with a dry cloth after a while.
Laundry Soap Is Excellent Carpet Cleaner
If you are looking to clean your carpet at home if it is very dirty, or if you want to remove problematic greasy stains, this method is best for you.
First, you need to rub the laundry soap on a fine grater and dissolve the chips in a litre of warm water, adding a tablespoon of turpentine. Then apply the solution to the pile using a synthetic bristle brush.
Leave it on for a couple of minutes, then remove it with a wet rag, and then thoroughly blot the surface to get rid of the residual liquid.
You should know that turpentine, although it copes well with any contaminants, has a rather pungent odour. After you have cleaned the carpet, you will need to ventilate the room.
That is why if you have a wool rug (wool, as you know, perfectly absorbs odours), think twice before using this method.
Steam Carpet Cleaning – Affordable and Effective Method
Although the mentioned cleaning methods are quite effective, you should not underestimate the importance of deep carpet cleaning services. Many professional carpet cleaning companies present exceptional carpet steam cleaning services at affordable prices. This is the most popular method for carpet maintenance and it is considered to be eco-friendly as it does not include the use of any harmful chemicals. Using only the power of hot water steam, hot water extraction carpet cleaning refreshes the carpet, removing all the impurities and allergens from it. | <urn:uuid:d7999af6-5d4c-404e-9393-8ba3f47f4cb0> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://mehimthedogandababy.com/how-to-clean-a-carpet-at-home-the-most-popular-ways/ | 2024-04-16T05:43:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.952291 | 794 |
When thinking of success, it can be easy to over look just how important the small steps are. In fact, they are crucial for achieving our goals! Often times when we look at the bigger picture we can become paralyzed by all the things that need to happen to get there that we don’t even begin. Then days, months, even years later we beat ourselves up for never achieving that goal.
So what gives? How can we improve and finally reach long term success?
By taking baby steps!
When you start mapping out the baby steps it takes to reach your goals, you’ll be far more likely to succeed!
Start by creating SMART goals.
Once you have a detailed goal in mind, you can begin breaking that goal down into smaller steps that feel far more achievable and less nerve racking.
My SMART goal is to get my ACE health coach certification by passing my exam in august. So what baby steps can I take to reach that goal? I can set aside 20 minutes a few days a week towards studying. I can blog or do a video about what I’m learning. I can watch videos from the course. I can designated 20 pages of reading per day.
Can you think of a specific goal you have in mind? What are some baby steps you can take today or right now towards making that goal your reality?

I co-wrote this article with David Silberstein for Site of the Gaming Dead, a now-defunct video game blog. I have attempted to recreate the articles here on my portfolio, complete with original text and images (where possible).
That squee heard ’round the world? Yeah, that was Meredith, upon hearing about Telltale Games’ release of Back to the Future: The Game, a film-to-game franchise that hasn’t seen a refresh since the Sega Genesis days. As one of our favorite movie trilogies of all time, we were pretty excited, especially after sneaking a peek at the game’s screenshots via IGN. Judging from the previews, we were hoping BttF:tG would prove to be an original, fun adventure game true to the spirit of the films, no matter how dated they quite literally are. Telltale Games released the second episode, “Get Tannen!”, the follow-up to “It’s About Time,” on February 15th, with three more episodes to close off Telltale’s saga.
While the first two episodes are fun and do the movies justice, their short length and low replay value leave something to be desired.
Many famous elements from the movie trilogy return, including the DeLorean time machine, the Tannen family, the Hill Valley Courthouse, and manure trucks. The plot so far is enjoyable and introduces new characters seamlessly into the world created by writer/producer Bob Gale and his co-writer/producer Robert Zemeckis. Telltale Games has managed to write a story very reminiscent of the BttF movie trilogy, focusing on the relative ease at which the past and future can change with the slightest provocation on the part of Marty McFly or Doc Emmett Brown.
Christopher Lloyd, the original Doc Brown, lends his voice talent and likeness to the game, while Michael J. Fox, the movies’ Marty McFly, makes an appearance in likeness but not in voice. Replacing Fox is the talented A.J. Losciano, who voices Marty McFly so well you can’t tell the difference between his voice in the game and Fox’s in the movies. Gale has also provided his assistance to Telltale in crafting a game worthy of the Back to the Future title.
The controls are simple and easy to understand, whether you’re a seasoned adventure game player or not. The downside of this is that while object selection and decision points are easy to navigate, movement is clunky and awkward due to a compass-like indicator for Marty’s direction. You can also use the WASD or arrow keys to move around, but that doesn’t help mitigate the problems caused by the frequently-adjusting camera angle. With no way to control the camera yourself, the game forces you to rely on directional memory and an ability to quickly adjust.
As an adventure game, BttF’s focus is on solving puzzles. You have to determine what objects are potentially useful from your inventory. Like many other adventure games, the single most helpful piece of advice we have to offer is this: click everything! The puzzles range from simplistic and easy to somewhat complicated, with the more complex puzzles involving interacting with several characters and using multiple items from your inventory in order to progress. Unfortunately, the game features puzzles that require you to “hurry up and wait” for events to occur, typically as the result of a repetitive action. When you get stuck, there is an in-game hint system that you can utilize, but much of the time, it tells you things you already know. Most hints progress rapidly progress from “subtle clue” to “here’s what you should do” status within three or fewer clicks.
Just as things seem to reach a climactic point, the episode abruptly comes to an end, forcing you to wait until the next installment’s release. For the remaining three episodes, this is on a monthly basis, with the final episode to be released in May. While each episode so far has been filled with puzzles, even a novice adventure gamer can complete an installment within less than four hours. With a $24.95 price tag, it seems that a lot of the cost is going to fund the adherence to the BttF traditions while somewhat neglecting the content in each episode. This is not to say that the game so far hasn’t been a lot of fun, but it feels like there’s still quite a bit that can be done in each chapter.
If you’re looking for a good adventure game, there are a lot of other options out there, made by Telltale or other companies. But if you’re a Back to the Future fan, the game series takes the best elements of the movies and makes them playable in a continuation of the story established by the film trilogy. While the game is very BttF-esque and enjoyable, it doesn’t quite hit 88 miles per hour. | <urn:uuid:93f93144-c22b-42c9-b526-db0a4b78a767> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://meredithsweet.com/portfolio/bttf-game/ | 2024-04-16T04:25:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.950065 | 1,047 |

I’ve been listening to this mix full of Japanese awesomeness for days now. Croatian-based Dimensions Festival recently launched a program that highlights up-and-coming talents in a regular mix series in order to introduce them to a bigger audience.
This 18th edition off their DJ Directory is a super fun mix from London-based DJ and illustrator anu. Taking a break from her radio program on NTS Radio and Rinse FM, she’s compiled a Japan-focused mix that moves through lounge-soul, goofy ambient sounds, spacey disco and breezy city pop from Harumi Hosono and Tatsuro Yamashita.

Do you feel like you have to spend all your time convincing potential clients to work with you? If the answer is yes, then you’re putting too much pressure on yourself and it’s time to reverse this if you want to bring in steady clients.
First, this is normal. We all do this whether we like to admit it or not. We’ve all fallen into the trap of feeling like we have to pressure people to work with us. The good news is we don’t. I hope after listening to this episode you feel that pressure disappear.
“If you’ve been putting pressure on yourself then you are weighed down. And it’s time to take the weights off.” – Michelle Vroom
What does it look like when we feel like we have to convince people to work with us?
We feel like we’re begging for clients
We are undercharging, lowering our prices just to get the clients
We have the tendency to pick the wrong clients, ones that are not a good fit
Other signs that indicate that you are spending your time trying to convince people to work with you:
You’re dropping links in Facebook groups without taking the time to get to know people
On a discovery call you’re so emotionally invested in the outcome that if the client doesn’t sign on right away you feel completely crushed
That is not pressure that you were ever meant to take on! It is not about convincing people to work with us. I believe a lot of women feel this way because we’ve been told that in order to sell you have to push people until they’re ready to sign on. But here’s what I want you to know…you’re already selling and you don’t even realize it. If you are serving your audience in any capacity you are selling. Selling equals serving.
What does serving mean?
Answering questions in a FB group or on an online discussion forum
Sharing tips to work through challenges
Offering free resources
Asking questions and helping people think through the best option for them
When you help people think through their next step, you are going to remove the pressure automatically. Because suddenly it’s not about getting them to work with you, it’s about helping them get to a point where they know what the right decision is. It’s not about you coming up with the answers for them, or convincing them, or telling them that they have to work with you.
It’s about you helping them think through what is best for them, for their business, and for their life. That is all.
When you are serving and removing the pressure, when you’re focused on just simply helping your audience, people are going to book with you easily. It’s not going to take a lot of effort. It’s not going to take a lot of convincing.
Clients want to be treated as humans. And if you can show them that you care about them more than you care about the sale, then you’re going to get the sale!
Questions to ask to remove the pressure so you can show up from a place of service:
Why do you feel pressure to sell in the first place?
Where is that pressure coming from?
How can you redefine selling and remove the pressure?
You feel the pressure because you have a definition of marketing and sales that feeds into and fuels that pressure. To remove the pressure you have to redefine what marketing and sales means for you. How do you want to serve your audience? What does that look like for you?
Much of this comes from fear
You believe there aren’t enough people out there
You feel like you have to say and do the right things for your audience to work with you
Let’s redefine what marketing and sales looks like. It’s not about being spammy. It’s about showing up and treating people like human beings. It’s about helping them work through some really big challenges and then giving them an opportunity to continue their work with you.
I hope this gives you the motivation you need to continue showing up for your audience and to let go of any preconceived notions and pressure and just show up as you. Because the world needs you and so do your clients.

Amir Taheri on nuclear proliferation in the Middle East:
There is no doubt that the current nuclear race in the Middle East is largely prompted by the fear of a revolutionary Iran using an arsenal as a means of establishing hegemony in the region. Iran's rivals for regional leadership, especially Turkey, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, are aware of the propaganda appeal of the Islamic Republic's claim of being " the first Muslim superpower" capable of defying the West and rivaling it in scientific and technological fields. In that context, Tehran's development of long-range missiles and the Muslim world's first space satellite are considered political coups.
It's been an open secret for years that Israel possesses nuclear capability. It's an interesting comment on the genuine - as opposed to rhetorical - threat that the Zionist Entity is deemed to pose that it's only now, when Iran is on the verge of joining the nuclear club, that other Middle Eastern and Arab countries get concerned about developing their own programs. | <urn:uuid:9d93b891-bb79-4bca-b54c-cd3ff6b736e3> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://mickhartley.typepad.com/blog/2009/03/going-nuclear.html | 2024-04-16T03:28:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.946987 | 198 |
When an infant is not feeling well, then it is significant that one takes him or her to get the needed medical services. The appropriate specialist to see will be a pediatrician. To get the best medical services, then an individual will have to make sure that they get to choose the best pediatrician. A fact is that there are plenty of them to choose from in the medical field. It is hence not easy to one in identifying the most suitable for them to consider. Of importance would, therefore, be that an individual gets to research for them to differentiate the qualities of the pediatrics available. To help in the differentiation, there are points that one needs to make sure that they put into consideration. To best understand the aspects that will help in choosing the best pediatrician then reading the following information is what an individual will need to consider.
The cost charged by the pediatrician is the first point that an individual will need to consider. When considering this point, what one needs to understand is that the best pediatrician in known to charge more because of the quality of services that they give is the best. It hence implies that if an individual is looking to settle for such a pediatrician, then they will need to consider spending more money. However, an individual need not spend too much money if they do not have the relevant finances. What is hence needed of one is that they get to compare the prices charged by the different specialists for them to know who will be affordable to them. Settling for the cheapest pediatrician, however, need not be an option to one as they cannot be guaranteed of getting reliable services. To help in reducing the financial burden, then it would be best that an individual checks of they can pay for the services that they get using an insurance cover. Researching is hence of the essence as one will have a list of pediatricians that they can go to and be certain that their insurance plan will work for them. On the cost aspect, it is best that an individual chooses a pediatrician that is closest to them. This is essential as it ensures that they get to cut on the amount that they will have to spend on the transport expenses.
Secondly, it is relevant to check on the reputation that the pediatrician has in the field. The feedback of the parents that have had their children treated by the specialist is hence what an individual should consider. Checking the information presented on the site of the pediatrician is hence of the essence. It is with no doubt that the most suitable pediatrician will be the one that has been recommended the most. An effective way of settling for the best specialist would be by an individual asking for recommendations from their close friends or family that we’re satisfied with the quality of medical services that their kids were given. | <urn:uuid:23e4bae1-8cf8-4d2b-880e-9a64ec725037> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://mieducacioncreativa.com/2020/03/28/my-most-valuable-tips-3/ | 2024-04-16T04:59:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.977863 | 559 |
Navigating Northward: The Geopolitics of the Arctic Arena
01:00 PM - 02:00 PM PDT
The Arctic is an arena of global consequence to economic prosperity, geostrategic competition, and climate change. The High North may offer shorter maritime routes between ports in Asia and North America and Northern Europe, and the Arctic region holds significant reserves of minerals, fossil fuels, and fisheries. However, Russia’s deepening militarization and isolation—as well as increasingly dependent relationship with China, which has stated its intentions to participate in Arctic governance—stands to skew regional cooperation. Thus, the work of intergovernmental forums like the Arctic Council, which seeks to promote collaboration between regional stakeholders and Arctic Indigenous peoples on common Arctic issues, has become more critical than ever. This session will explore the challenges and opportunities ahead as we navigate a time of immense uncertainty in the Arctic region. | <urn:uuid:e05c30b9-3bf6-430c-8445-eabfb2db9347> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://milkeninstitute.org/panel/14547/navigating-northward-geopolitics-arctic-arena | 2024-04-16T04:50:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.941693 | 180 |

This detox green soup is light, has a nutrient rich broth and is packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids.
This is a ramen-like spin on the traditional green soup with the collard greens bringing the green to the soup and broth.
The addition of the 7 minute soft “jammy” egg, ground turkey, and a bit of spicy pork takes this versatile soup to the next level with added protein for muscle support and recovery.
The health benefits of this soup comes from two main ingredients: collard greens and bone broth. The nutrient calculation will var,y so pay close attention to the nutritional label on the bone broth. Bone broth is typically rich in amino acids, antioxidants, trace minerals, and collagen. Collard greens provide additional fiber, antioxidants, and nutrients such as vitamins A, C, and K, calcium and folate.
The ingredients in this soup can be modified to suit most dietary needs. For a vegan option, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and substitute the animal protein with tofu. Use ground lean turkey or ground chicken instead of ground pork for less fat. Replace the siracha and dijon mustard for spices like cayenne and dry mustard for a cleaner soup. Use low sodium chicken broth or bone broth if you are watching your sodium intake.
Avoid bitter collard greens
Collard greens can be very bitter if they are not cooked properly. Avoid this is by cooking the collard greens low and slow until they are very tender.
Making the perfect 7 minute “Jammy” egg
If you haven’t tried a seven minute jammy egg then you are missing out. These amazing eggs are the famous eggs commonly found marinating in ramen. They are seriously addicting. I’ve detailed the steps to make the perfect 7 minute “jammy” egg in this tutorial to take the guess work out of it.
First, brown the ground turkey and ground pork in a medium stock pot. Skip this step if using tofu.
While the pork browns, wash, trim, and cut the collard green leaves into small pieces.
Finally, add the collard greens, salt, sriracha, dijon mustard, and chicken bone broth to the stock pot. Bring to a simmer for 1 hour to 1.5 hours or until the collard greens are soft and no longer bitter. Season with additional salt to your preference.
If you choose to add ramen noodles or a 7 minute egg, do this the last 10 minutes prior to serving.
Frequently asked questions
Yes, it is important that the collard greens are simmered for a long period of time. Collard Green tend to be bitter if they are not cooked for the appropriate amount of time or seasoned well.

Your Company Logo in Print
Not only can you support my writing, but you can write this off as advertising! In my next book, I will add a list of corporate sponsors. This list will appear in both digital and print versions.
Your company logo will appear in my next book, in both the digital and paperback version.
If you looked at the other things I’m selling, you are probably expecting me to joke around in this section. But I think it better I treat this one a bit more somberly.
First, I mentioned the possibility that you could “…write this off as advertising.” In the US, most companies and self-employed individuals can receive a tax break by writing off advertising expenses. That said, it’s important to note that I am not an accountant so you will need to not consult the tax laws of your locality to confirm whether or not you can write-off advertising expenses.
Second, if your motivation for considering this is strictly for advertising purposes (vs a simple desire to support an author whose stories you enjoy), then you may be wondering about the reach potential reach.
For that all I can do is point to the circulation of my first book, Breaking Gravity (BG). Unfortunately, my record keeping has been pretty shoddy so I do not know exactly how many copies are out there. I can, however, say with absolute certainty that more 20,000 have been distributed. I believe the actual total is about twice that.
In all seriousness, I’m just trying to find fun ways to raise some money here. The cost to produce one book will be $2,500. I’ve already tucked away $2,000. That means I’m only $500 away from being able to publish my next book.
If I do not match that within the first six months of releasing my next book (the one with your logo in it), I will be extremely disappointed. When I released BG, I didn’t know shit from shinola. And I really didn’t care, because my only goal was the scratch “Write a Novel” off the Bucket List.
This time around I have a new goal: Become a full-time writer.
And I’m no long that starry eyed rube who just fell off the turnip truck. I now have a firm grasp on the publishing industry and know how to promote. And—thanks to the wonderful reader reviews BG has received—I also have access to some of the most sought after/exclusive promo services in the world. That fact, by itself, gives my new works a huge leg up and over BG.
Anyway, this time around I have a new goal. And I have plan to get me there. If you’d like to be a part of it, pretty please consider joining “Club Mitty”.
Ok, I think I’ve covered the main stuff now. Please read the information below for more details.
Thank you for your support,
Aaaah, now that’s a damn good idea! Why didn’t I think of that?!
Sure, I can do that. If you would like for me to add a link so that someone reading my book can see your logo, click on it, and go direct to your site, just bump the quantity up to two (2) before you hit the “ADD TO CART” button.
Preferably within two weeks after you signup.
Don’t sweat, I’m not in a huge rush. After you checkout, I will send you a little email to thank you for your support. That email will also contain the specifics of how/when I need you to get your logo to me.
I’m a firm believer that anything worth doing is worth doing right. For that reason, I make no promises. None whatsoever.
I’m very sorry about that, but please understand that I consider myself a man of my word and I do not make promises lightly. There are simply too many moving parts for me to give you a firm date with any accuracy.
My personal goal is to get at least one new book out by the end of this summer or early fall (2018).
I reserve the right reject any applicant for any reason. Pretty please do not submit logos containing lewd, crude, or otherwise socially unacceptable material.
The same goes for your website. If you submit a logo with a website, I will go check it out. If I find a bunching of booby pictures up there I… well, I’ll probably spend a little more time there than I planned. Just to, you know, be sure it’s a booby site. But after that, I’ll have to reject your logo.
If you have any questions about this, please contact me before submitting. Thanks!
Because I am an “indie” author.
A while back, I received an offer for Breaking Gravity from a very large publisher. Setting aside the fact that their offer wasn’t exactly spectacular, the main reason I turned them away was that writing is what I do for fun. If I accepted their money, then writing becomes work.
I ended up thanking them respectfully and turning them away politely.
The fact that a real publisher might be interested in my work was quite shocking to me. I decided maybe I should take this story telling thing a bit more seriously, so I started writing again.
I’m currently in the process of wrapping up two new novels. I expect to have at least one, if not both, ready to hand over to my editor by the end of this summer (2018).
And now I’m having regrets. Turning my back on the conventional route means that all the publishing costs fall on me. Again.
I’ve decided to not to put out the audiobook versions right away, but I will still have to come up with about $5,000 ($2,500 each) before my new novels can be published. The majority of that will go to editing (I’m hoping to go with David Gatewood again), and the remainder will cover production costs (book cover, files for print and ebook version, etc), plus a zillion other little details (listing fees, ISBN fees, etc).
I’ve already squirreled away $2k, so I’m looking to raise another $3k.
Hence the yard sale.
And the “Shop at Amazon” thing. If you click on that link—or any Amazon link on my site—my Amazon Affiliate tag will travel with you. I will earn a little commission on anything you add to your shopping cart after that. It doesn’t change the price or effect you in anyway, just sends a few pennies my way on anything you buy. Might not sound like much, but every penny counts!
Sadly, I don’t have much to offer. I mean, what kind of nut spends $50 on a copy of a book nobody has ever read, signed by some an author nobody has ever heard of?
But as I said above, the cost to publish one novel is $2,500. Since I’ve already tucked away $2,000. So all I need is another $500 and the first of my two books is covered.
To do that, all I have to do is sell ten signed copies at $50 each.
I am located in the US, within the state of Florida. If the “Ship To” address you specify is in Florida, then I am required to collect a 7% sales tax (6% for the state, 1% for the county).
If you pay for anything on my website with a credit card or Paypal, your receipt will say MoBetter Productions Inc (MBI).
Not to worry, MBI is my company. I own it.
The primary function of MBI is to collect the income from my day job, that of freelance graphic/web production. In the event my writing ever takes off, I am set up so that any income will also flow through the business. | <urn:uuid:b6c2ba74-e37c-422b-aacb-68b99a33a211> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://mitty-walters.com/02stage/product/your-company-logo-in-print/ | 2024-04-16T05:05:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.961665 | 1,713 |
Michigan summers and beach days go hand-in-hand but not every seeming oasis is a safe place to dip your toes.
Before packing a cooler, towels, sand toys and an umbrella and heading to your local beach, be sure to check out the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy’s Beach Guard System website to see which beaches are closed or under contamination advisories for high bacteria levels.
The notifications are made as part of the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy’s Beach Guard system. Each beach’s status is subject to change as new test results come in. To see an up-to-date map of the red-flagged beaches and details on the water quality tests, check the Beach Guard website here.

Get Storage in Flutter is a very fast, extra lightweight & synchronous key-value pair package that will help you to store app data in memory. It is written entirely in Dart and easily integrates with the Get framework of Flutter. Generally, in Flutter, we use Shared preference to store app data. It is an alternative to app-shared preference.
For more, please check out our Flutter app development page.
GetStorage is not fast, it is absurdly fast for being memory-based.
All of its operations are instantaneous.
A backup of each operation is placed in a Container on the disk. Each container has its file.
We have multiple benefits of using Get Storage in Flutter. Now, let’s check how can we implement Get Storage in Flutter.
Step 1: Create a flutter project.
Step 2: Add dependency in your pubspec file.
Step 3: Initialize Get Storage.
To initialize get storage, we need to call GetStorage().init in the main function.
Step 4: How to use the Get storage package.
Create an Instance of the Storage object.
Read and write data using Get storage.
We write data in key-pair value using the write function and we read data using the read function with the help of key.
Get storage has multiple functions for multiple uses. Let’s check other functions.
Remove the data from get_storage object.
Listen to changes.
Stop listening to changes.
Erase your container

Well, it is almost Sunday midnight here in Antalya and I’m just getting started on this Weekly Update post after a VERY busy week at Naval Yachts as we all ramp up towards that tiny light at the end of the tunnel known as Launching the first XPM78 aka Möbius. My apologies in advance then if this week’s update appears a bit rushed but I wanted to be sure to get it posted before I fly out on Tuesday to finally rejoin my Beautiful Bride Christine in Ft. Lauderdale where we’ll be attending FLIBS, the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show along with Baris and Dincer, the owners of Naval Yachts and most important of all being there for our grandson Liam’s 4th birthday on Oct. 30th.
Without any further ado let’s dive in for a quick swim through all the various jobs that Team Möbius were busy with this past week.
Starting with the always busy Dynamic Duo Uğur and Nihat, our tireless Aluminium team, they finished up the Bow Mast with the addition of the four connectors to the Bow Pulpit railings. These ensure that the Bow Mast is well supported and rigid as it can take the brunt of strong winds and waves and we want to be sure that all those antennae, lights and other components mounted on top of this Mast are well supported. There is a support above and below the hinge and the are bolted to the Bow Pulpit with these flanges so that the Mast can be folded down when we leave the boat for extended times in areas during cyclone season as well as making it easier to work on the lights and antennae atop the Mast.
The supports and hinges are now all roughed in and will be cleaned up later along with the rest of the Bow Pulpit, decks, etc.. With the Bow looked after they moved aft to install the hefty hinge plates for the Port side Paravane A-Frames. After marking them out and making sure they matched the ones on the Starboard side, Uğur used the plasma cutter to make quick work out of putting the rectangular slots for each hinge arm to go through the top and bottom of the 10mm/ 3/8” thick Rub Rails. The 50mm/2” thick Hinge arm can then be inserted into this slot and tacked in place ready to be welded top and bottom to the Rub Rails. The other half of the hinge has been tacked together and is test fitted to the bottom hinge arm to check for alignment prior to fitting the mating aluminium pipes of the A-Frame itself. The space on either end of the top toggles makes it easier to install the large 7m/23ft tall A-Frames whenever we have them removed and then insert AL disks that are machined to fill up the space on either side for a nice sliding fit. Over in the Machine Shop they have the 130mm/5” diameter aluminium rudder post set up in the milling machine to cut the tapered sides where it sits inside the tapered profile of the rudder blade. Yigit (left), Uğur (middle), Okan (Ugur’s younger brother) and I spent some time fitting the rudder post into the blade and working out the details for welding these components prior to putting on the outer skin on each side. You can see how the rudder post fits into the internal frames and how it tapers from top to bottom. These two shots will give you a sense of the size and shapes of these two parts of the Rudder assembly. Steering is easily THE most important system on these boats so as you can see we go to eXtreme lengths to make sure the Rudder has an eXtremely high SWAN factor so we can “Sleep Well At Night” knowing it will steer us out of any conditions without breaking a sweat.
GUEST CABIN CABINETRY:
Omer is a one man army as he marches through building all the cabinetry for the Aft Guest Cabin area. You may recall their little “Wayne’s Surprise” from last week’s Update and here is a closeup of these two clever shelves which mount on the back wall of the Pullman Berth. Here is the lower of these two handy mini shelves which anyone sleeping up here can put things like your watch, alarm clock, pens, books, etc. before they tuck in for a blissful night’s sleep.
You can also see the outer frame for the fold down mattress in this shot as they test fit the Pullman Berth cabinet into the rest of the furniture in this Aft Cabin. The rear panel of the Pullman cabinet is removable as you see here to allow for quick and easy access to the wire trays and plumbing behind if it is ever needed. We make sure that ALL such infrastructure is either left exposed in areas like the Basement, Workshop and Forepeak and that any cabinetry which covers these is easily removable. Being the ones who have to do ALL the maintenance on this boat we go to great lengths to make it a joy to work on rather than a chore as is the case with most boats.
Stepping back gives you a view of how all these components fit together with Christine’s Office desk with overhead bookshelves on the far right, pull out sofa bed on the bottom, Library shelves on the upper left and the Pullman upper center.
Just outside the Guest Cabin & Office is the Corridor at the bottom of the stairs down from the SuperSalon and the Head/Toilet is behind the door on the right. The workbench up against the side of the Port/Left hull on the left here will be my little office and clean area for working on things like electronics, 3D printing and such that is best done here rather than in the Workshop. Standing up at the top of the stairs looking aft you can see how this Corridor connects to the WT door leading into the Workshop. The area to the left of that door is starting to be roughed in for the Guest Shower that will go here. Hakan (left) and Omer are laying out the exact location for the wall grid that will go up along the side of the hull on the right. That hull is a busy area with all the plumbing and wiring runs going through here so the grids ensure that the wall panels are spaced well away from this and provide a super sturdy foundation for the removable wall panels to snap into using FastMount clips. More on those details to come as this area is installed.
Upstairs in the Galley, …………………. Hey! Wait a minute. What do we have in that far cabinet?? Aha!! Those darn CE inspectors show up when and where you least expect it!
Actually this is young George who is here at Naval Yachts for a week with his parents who are about to become the proud new owners of XPM78-02 and so George wasted no time checking out the quality of the workmanship so he can assist the crew when they start building HIS new boat.
His beautiful and +6ft tall Mom Uschi got his quick assessment which was two thumbs up so all is going VERY well with the build.
Meanwhile, over in the Cabinetry shop, Omur and Selim are busier than ever building the next set of cabinetry for the twin fridge and freezers. Omur is a true Master at creating patterns with the grain that are works of art and when doing this with veneer he carefully cuts each piece, tapes the razor cut joints on the exterior surfaces and then lays these onto the lightweight marine plywood and puts them in the heated veneer press. Working with these gorgeous Rosewood veneers requires tremendous craftsmanship and is all done by hand with these simple tools. Each piece of veneer is carefully chosen to have just the right grain pattern for the size of the panel it will form and then cut to rough size with a razor sharp knife. Omur prepares a batch of panels for the veneer press and carefully stacks all the pieces in order to keep their orientation straight. These are two end panels for the cabinet that will hold the pair of 130L fridges and are now ready to head over to the veneer press. On the next workbench over there are these carefully stacked pieces that will soon emerge as some of the 22 different sized drawers in the Galley.
EXCITING NEW THINGS SEEN IN PASSING:
Last bit of excitement this week was seeing this. We can’t have a Weekly Progress Update without a quiz so any guess what Yigit is doing here? Probably an easy one for many of you, this is a test run on the groves which are cut into the 50mm/2” thick rigid foam board on all the floors where the red PEX tubing which carries the hot water for the in-floor heating. We’ll show you this when the installation begins onboard Möbius but you can see how this works. Once all the PEX is nestled into these grooves and sitting just below the top surface of the insulation foam, a layer of 10mm / 3/8” marine plywood goes down and then the finished flooring, which will be some very cool new vinyl planking, is set on top. Much more on all that in the coming weeks.
More exciting new things seen in passing this past week was watching Cihan (left) and Yigit bring this 200L Black Water holding tank system aboard and down into the Basement. There are two of these Black Water holding tank systems, this one going into the Basement is for the Guest Head and the other one goes into the Forepeak for the Head in the Master Cabin. You can now see what that hatch in the floor of the SuperSalon is as large as it is! Last but DEFINATELY not least for the excitement this week, we finally have all the interior materials chosen and what you’re seeing here is the three colours of leather that will go on the wall panels, some of the drawer and door fronts and the ceiling panels.
The stone you may recall from several months ago when we found this fabulous slab of rare green/gold marble and it now has these three colours of leather to compliment it.
Top white leather will go on the ceiling panels, the middle Grey/Green will go on the walls and the bottom Black will go on the ceiling above the Main Helm area to further reduce any reflections and glare on the windows when on night passages.
OK, it is WAY past my bedtime now and I have another super busy day ahead of me tomorrow, my last day here before I fly to Florida, so I’ll sign off for now right after thanking you for making it through another weekly update on the progress of Team Möbius. Please do add your comments and questions in the “Join the Discussion” box below and I’ll be back next week to show you what has happened while I’m away.
Exciting times here at Naval Yachts as the intensity picks up several notches each week as the launch date gets closer. There were several new components which all involved having things fold up and down, hence this week’s title. So let’s dive in shall we and go find out what all happened this past week.
Let’s start with the largest folding component that was started this week.
Any guesses what these tacked together pieces are? Does it help if I stand back a bit so you can see all of them? How about if I show you how one end is installed? Yup! These are the two hinged folding posts which we will install whenever we want to put the SkyBridge roof assembly up or down. Once the roof is up there are a series of support posts around the forward perimeter which are bolted in place and keep the roof solidly in place so these two folding posts are only used when raising or lowering the roof and the rest of the time they stow in the Workshop.
If you have not seen this unique feature we have designed into this XPM this short animated model shows how it works.
There are two primary use cases for this fold down SkyBridge roof. One is when we are leaving the boat for a longer time to go visit grandkids and such when it is cyclone season where the boat is and we want to reduce windage and streamline the boat. The other instance would be when this folded down roof puts the boat in “Canal” mode by significantly reducing our bridge clearance or Air Draft to be able to explore things like inland canal systems where there are height restrictions. We don’t expect to do this too often but the ability to do so expands our options tremendously and adds a huge safety factor so this feature is well worth it in our opinion.
This week was the first test run at folding the roof up and down to make sure it all worked, nothing was binding or there were any changes needed and everything worked just as designed.
Kudos to our brilliant designer Dennis for creating this very cool feature with us during the design phase and to Dincer and Yigit here at Naval Yachts who helped me modify the folding posts to make them simpler and stronger.
Looking up from the shop floor to show the whole assembly it is easy to see how this works. Very much in keeping with our KISS or Keep It Simple & Safe approach, these two folding posts are all that is needed to put the roof up and down and as you’ve seen they are very components with just a straight length of 60mm/2 1/2” thick wall pipe with a cylinder machined from solid aluminium on each end with a hole for the SS hinge pin. The means of raising and lowering the roof is the epitome of KISS consisting of just two Dyneema lines, one attached to a lifting eye on the aft end and one on the front which then go down to the Aft and Forward Deck Winches. This could be done by a single person in stages but having two people, one on each winch and line would be faster and this method maintains full control over the roof going up and down.
Christine and I are former single handers before we met and were sailing around the world on our own boats, and while we are now “double handing” our way through life and around the world, we have designed the systems on these XPM boats such that the boat can be fully operated by a single person if needed.
Just to be clear this is NOT based on any lack of confidence in our relationship!
However, for multi week ocean crossing passage maker boats such as these XPM’s we remain cognizant of the possibility that one of us could become incapacitated or worst of all lost at sea and such a scenario would return us to being single handed. So we take this VERY seriously and being to run the boat safely and well is a critical component of our design. All part of how we design with “Readiness for the Unexpected” in mind at all times.
OK, back to the build. This is how the roof looks when it is folded down into “Hunkered Down” or “Canal” modes. Almost fully folded down for the initial testing you can see how the rear hinge point doubles as the primary support for the whole roof assembly. Here is a short video of the first lowering of the roof and you can now see where the Fold-a-Boat reference in the title comes from.
Continuing with the Fold-a-Boat theme Uğur fabricated another new folding component this week.
This one should be easier to guess I think? Here it is folded down for testing and ……… Here is a close up of the tacked up hinge.
Got it figured out?? Correct! This is our Bow Mast as we’ve been calling it where an assortment of components will live such as forward facing LED flood lights, spot light, assorted antennae, one of multiple GPS heads on board, possibly a video cam and so on.
The bottom pipes of the Bow Mast penetrate all the way through the upper surface and the deck plated below to allow the wiring for all those components to be routed directly into the WP junction box in the Forepeak.
Next week Uğur and Nihat will make up two short horizontal stiffeners that will tie the Bow Mast pipe to the nearby Bow Pulpit pipes. These will have flanges to bolt these two components together and still allow the Bow Pulpit to be removed if ever neccessary. If you look closely you will see two other new additions this week, these air vents to help keep the Forepeak well ventilated. Another example of KISS, just a 180 bend of 40mm/1.6” thick wall pipe that runs through the double deck plate into the Forepeak. One side vent will be the intake by extending down all the way to just a bit above the bilge and the other side will be exhaust by staying up in the hotter air up in the ceiling. This will take advantage of some passive convection to help circulate the air in and out and prevent things stored in the Forepeak from getting too damp and moldy. When at anchor the huge Forepeak hatch can be opened up so these vent pipes are only really needed when we are out on passage and can provide some ventilation without allowing any wave water to get into the Forepeak. It doesn’t fold but Uğur finished up the Sampson Post by installing the cross bar and the top cap. With the Bow Pulpits and Dolphin watching seats in, Sampson Post finished, Bow Mast installed and hatch mounted, the Forepeak area is shaping up nicely. More Fold-a-Boat parts ready to be installed. These are the lower half of the hinges for the Paravane A-Frames on each side, each about 50mm/2” thick solid AL. These hinge plates fit down through cut outs in the beefy Rub Rails and run down the hull frames below and are welded throughout to create a hinge that will easily transfer the loads from the Paravanes to the hull. Those massive hinge plates are keeping another new addition to the Möbius family company. That is the 130mm/5” OD aluminium rudder post which has just come off the lathe and is headed to the milling machine next for the angled faces for the tapered sides of the rudder blade. More on that as the rudder is being built. The Engine Room Vent Boxes on the Aft Deck were fully welded to the deck plates so they are now permanently attached and ready for outfitting with doors and counter tops as they also create our outside Galley and BBQ. More on those as they get built.
PROP SHAFT INSTALLATION
More excitement this week as the installation of the propeller shaft and log tube begins. The beautiful big bronze four blade 1 meter diameter CPP Controllable Pitch Propeller is hiding under the clear plastic but you can see the 65mm/2.6” diameter prop shaft extending out with the red flange coupler on the other end. This flange bolts to the matching flange you can see on the end of the red Nogva Servo Gearbox sitting on the pallet.
The aluminium tube in front of the prop shaft is the prop log tube which will be inserted into the aluminium prop shaft tube that is an integral part of the hull framework.
Here is a shot borrowed from the Norwegian Nogva company web site of our CPP prop and you can see that in this case I am not being hyperbolic when I say this is an eXtremely big and beautiful propeller! The other end of the CPP Servo Gearbox bolts to the grey SAE1 aluminium flange which is in turn bolted the aft end of Mr. Gee our Gardner 6LXB engine. The large black and grey disk you see here is the Centamax flex coupling that provides a safety cushion to transfer the torque output from Mr. Gee’s flywheel to the Nogva prop shaft. The prop log tube you saw in the first photo has now been inserted into the prop tube in the hull so we can measure the exact fore and aft location as this is what will determine the position of the CPP itself when it is inserted into this prop tube. Once we get the position dialed in exactly and the prop tube perfectly centered the 10mm gap between these two aluminium tubes will be pumped full of ChockFast which is a special epoxy like compound explicitly made for this purpose. Looking through the Nogva prop tube we see the light at the end of this tunnel in the Engine Room and you can see the machined surfaces on the inside of the tube for the cutlass bearing to be inserted which supports the spinning prop shaft and keeps it well lubricated with sea water. Yusuf’s head will give you a better sense of size and proportion and the large machined diameter on the end is where the aft end of the bronze CPP prop fits inside with just a small clearance to keep them from touching. The machined end of the bronze prop hub fits inside about half way to leave a 20mm/ 3/4” gap for the seawater to flow through those holes as it exits from being pumped through the length of the tube from the sea water pump in the Engine Room.
This setup is designed to function as a Rope Guard by having no part of the prop shaft exposed which makes it more difficult for any errant line or fish net to get wrapped around it.
Much more on all this fascinating detail in future posts as we show you the whole installation of the entire propulsion system. But now let’s move on to …………………….
GUEST CABIN CABINETRY
I will keep the Fold-a-Boat theme and the guessing game going so what’s your guess on what this is the beginning of? Will this rendering and the clue that you are looking right at it help you guess?
Hint: It was laying down in the first photo above and will be vertical like this when installed in the Guest Cabin. Getting warmer??? Our talented interior designer Yesim will help you see the size. Last clue, this is the beginning of the folding part which sits inside the frame you saw above and will be hinged at the bottom. The triangular gussets are just to hold the four sides square until the 20mm / 3/4” marine plywood bottom is attached. Last chance and clue. The plywood strip at the top is a template with the slots for the AirCon grills sketched on it.
BINGO! This is the Pullman Berth which folds up into this cabinet mounted on the Starboard/Right side which forms the wall you see in the rendering above. The memory foam mattress frame you see above will have a SS hinge pin between it and the bottom sides of the cabinet to allow the bed to fold down. Similar to a Murphy Bed but on boats and trains usually called a Pullman Berth which refers to pull down/out beds that were found in Pullman railroad cars, starting the mid 1800’s.
This is what that strip you see running across the inside of the cabinet above looks like and when I asked Omer, Yesim, and Hakan what this was for they explained that this was their “surprise” for Wayne & Christine. There will be two of these, the lower one you see above and the second half way up from that. There is enough space left between the face of the mattress and the inside of the panel for these and their idea is that this will be a handy little shelf for anyone sleeping here to put their watch, alarm clock, pens, etc. How can you not just LOVE working with creative fun people like this??!!
Heading for the home stretch of this week’s lengthy progress update we’ll finish with one last guessing game for you. What do you think Omur and Selim are working on here?? You can see it clearly in this plan view render And as with the previous one you are looking right at “it” here……………………..
Correct! As the close readers will have known since they read the sub title, they are working on the L-shaped settee that wraps around our multi function table. This is the beginning of the seat back wall that sets up against the Starboard/Right hull windows. The cut out is for an access hatch to the large volume behind this wall where the side deck frames sit. Our Master Craftsman and Cabinetry Captain Omur continues to amaze with his execution of the large radius corners we designed into every exposed corner of the cabinetry. And my infamous “blue horizon line” continues to run through this seating area as well, seen here on what will be the top surface of this upside down seat cabinet………….. ……… like this. Even more breathtaking for me in this shot of the longer seat that runs under the windows. The devil and the delight is in the details right? A bit hard to make out but this confluence of transitions is masterful where all the different radius edges meld and merge vertically and horizontally here where the seat bottom, horizon line and end wall all intersect. Many of you have asked about the “biscuit joints” being used to glue two or more pieces of the cabinetry together with a super strong joint with all its pieces perfectly aligned. So here is a short sequence showing how this is done. A special power tool with a circular carbide blade cuts these slots along the faces to be glued together and glue is inserted into them A rugby/football shaped “biscuit” which is made from highly compressed wood is inserted in each slot. Then the second board which has matching slots is set in place with no choice but to be perfectly aligned. While it awaits being clamped tightly while the glue dries. A carpentry version of KISS; simple, smart, quick and accurate. What’s not to like? Selim has built a level platform for test fitting all the settee components and making sure everything fits and measures just right before they are taken for their fitting onboard. He is always reluctant to stop long enough for me to get a shot of him but I succeeded here in having Omur show how the simple access panels in the seats work, no hinges or hardware required. Turning the tables, Omur and Yesim insisted that this other model standing around doing nothing should pose to show how this area will also serve as a bed, either single like this or full size when the pedestal supporting the table is pushed down. All the cabinetry is being build in modules so the can be easily moved onboard so the settee seat bases are on the right here while Omur and Selim prepare the back wall panels, one against the Galley cabinets and the other off to the far left below the SuperSalon windows. All cabinets rest upon the carefully leveled white foundation boards and you can see how this works for these settee cabinets. Last photo for this week, this long view looking aft shows the proportions of the whole Galley and Settee cabinetry. Whew! Like I said at the beginning the intensity picks up several notches each week as the launch date gets closer and this “brief” overview of this week’s progress shows that very clearly.
And thank all of you for your intensity at getting through all these lengthy updates. As with the build itself this blog is very much a labour of love and I’m humbled and delighted that you have once again take the time and energy to make it to the end of yet another Weekly Progress Update from Mobius.World.
Thanks! And please keep sending in your comments, questions and ideas in the “Join the Discussion” box below.
It is late Sunday night over here in Antalya so I’m off to get a wee bit of sleep before it is time to head back to the shipyard. I will be back with next week’s update so do stay tuned.
For this past week, work on our XPM78-01 at Naval Yachts was focussed on the Cabinetry in the Galley and Guest Cabin and aluminium work on the rudder, chain bin, Dolphin watching seats and more. Here is a Show & Tell summary so you can see for yourself.
Let’s begin with these beauties. Can you guess what this is? Will it help if I show you where it is going to go?
These are the eXtremely strong padeyes on each of the aft corners for attaching a drogue or perhaps a stern anchor line.
The hole has a 316 SS bushing pressed into it to reduce the wear from the shackle used to attach the drogue.
A drogue is one of the ways of helping control a boat in eXtremely large seas and is the opposite of a sea anchor as this illustration shows.
John over on the Attainable Adventures blog, which is a treasure trove of great information for blue water sailors, has this well done sketch showing the basic operation of a drogue and how it can help control a boat that is roaring down huge breaking waves by slowing it down and reducing the likelihood of the bow digging into the wave ahead at the bottom of the trough and pitch poling over itself. NOT a good thing or an experience we ever hope to have! But having this kind of emergency equipment aboard is one of the ways we implement our strategy of “readiness for the unexpected”. As you might guess from looking at that sketch, trying to slow down almost 45 tons of boat racing down mountainous waves in these kinds of conditions puts an unimaginable amount of force on these systems and requires an equally eXtreme attachment point to attach the boat to the drogue. Hence this design we came up with for the padeye we would use if we ever needed to deploy our drogue.
Peering inside the hull you can see the substantial amount of the padeye that sits inside and will be heavily welded to the frames on this aft corner of the hull. Standing back you can see how this fits into the Aft Deck and Swim Platform layout.
And this is the matching padeye on the other side.
AFT PORT SIDE STANCHIONS:
Uğur also finished off the last of the stanchions to be installed, these ones on the Aft Port side which will be removable as they only go in when the Tender is off the deck.
Uğur has had LOTS of practice with all the other stanchions and their pipe sockets which are welded through the beefy Rub Rails so he soon has these last three stanchion sockets welded into the Rub Rails……. …… and presses the black Delrin sleeves into each one. He has finished fabricating the stanchion posts and they are now test fitted into their respective sockets.
DOLPHIN WATCHING SEATS:
Moving up to the bow, Uğur ticked off another job there with the mounting of the two Dolphin watching seats on either side of the bow pulpit railings. We came up with this hinged arrangement so they can be easily flipped up and out of the way when anchoring. Like this. I am still sketching up different ways of securing the seats when they are folded up. Perhaps in this position where I would need to have a way to secure the hinged vertical leg. Which wouldn’t be neccessary in this position where the leg sits tight against the seat rail but it presents an unattractive safety hazard with the part sticking up above the top rail.
Or I may just use some quick release pins to be able to remove the leg entirely and then come up with a nearby spot to hold it.
Stay tuned to see what emerges as the solution and by all means send in your ideas too.
Omer continues to apply his craftsmanship to the Guest Cabin and has now finished the slide out couch/bed assembly and moved on to building the headboard of the bed and the bookshelf unit that wraps around the forward Starboard corner of the cabin.
He has fitted this little angled cupboard between the bed and Christine’s desk which will be handy for both Guests and Christine to use. It will have a door on it next. Next he test fit the back of the couch. The space below is to allow the large bottom cushion/mattress to slide all the way inside when it is folded up in couch mode and keep the depth of the bottom of the couch a good size. Then he installed the framing for the top shelf and there is similar framing hidden down at the bottom. The tape indicates that there will be removable access panels there so I can easily access the water manifolds and other systems that are back there if ever needed. The carefully laminated top surface goes in next and spans the whole distance from the desk over to the forward wall that is the WT Bulkhead with the Basement on the other side. Which will look like this. This recess is where the back cushion will fit partially inside and held in place with in couch mode. Half the thickness of the cushion will be inside this recess and have extending out.
With a matching arrangement on the other side. With the couch/bed all fitted in place Omer turned his attention to the L shaped bookshelf unit that wraps around the forward corner of the Cabin. It all starts out being very simple with the cutting of these top and bottom boards after they have been laminated with their Rosewood surfaces. Renderings are so useful in helping with that phantasmagoria I mentioned in the previous posting where the virtual reality blends with the real reality and for those of us doing this every day you see the finished whole all the time no mater if you are looking at a largely empty space or those two L shaped boards in the photo above or this rendering on the left. This helps to visualise both the relative size and shape of this bookshelf. This is the bottom side of the bookshelf with Rosewood on the top and bottom surfaces and then there will be a white shelf in between which you can see in the rendering above.
Not to be outdone Omur and Selim have been eXtremely busy working up in the Galley on the somewhat complex set of cabinets with over 18 drawers so let’s check that out next. Yigit is aboard frequently monitoring the progress and helping me keep the thousands of little details all straight. Yigit also looks after much of the ordering of all the materials and equipment from our many suppliers so his phone is his constant companion. The cabinet in the upper area is the six drawer unit that goes in where Yigit is standing.
Quick jump to the virtual world of renderings to refresh the layout of the overall Super Salon with the Galley in the upper right corner.
Selim on the far left is standing inside what will be the forward corner of the Galley cabinets as he and Omur start getting this cabinet perfectly aligned with the others and precisely leveled.
Notice how the white epoxy painted boards under the bases of each cabinet have been painstakingly leveled using all those little wood wedges. These foundation boards also raise the cabinets up to the same height as the 40mm/ 1.6” rigid foam insulation which will eventually cover the entire floor and have the PEX tubing running through it for the in-floor heating. Here we are looking down inside the cabinet that will have the double sink installed in the far right side. The cut out on the back is to provide me access to the quite large volume area that is underneath the side decks. In addition to all the tank vent and fill hoses you can see we will have other equipment in this area such as the air handlers for the AirCon system so having access all along this large volume area goes towards our goal of low and easy maintenance. Next piece of this jigsaw puzzle is the cabinet on the left here for the induction cooktop and Smart Oven (combo microwave, convection, grill ovens). Fits perfect! For those of you who have been following for some time this will now help you visualise and understand why there is that white-stepped connector framing between the upper corner of the Guest Cabin down below and this far end of the Galley where the stove and oven fit in.
The cupboard in the middle here is sized for a standard dishwasher or a two drawer dishwasher to slide into but we prefer hand washing so this will instead be filled with two large drawers for pots and pans and the like. Looking across that dishwasher cabinet to the “peninsula” cupboard opposite shows the 7 drawers it contains. The tall skinny one in the middle will be like a drawer with no sides and pull out to reveal a set of shelving racks to provide easy access from either side to containers of things like spices. Maybe something like this for example. OK, Galley cabinets are all in place, time to move on to the adjoining L-shaped settee and dining area so they get started putting down the foundation frames and shimming them to be on eXactly the same level as the other cabinetry.
This is about how this area will look when standing over on the far Port/Left side looking across. The table is on a pedestal which has some very cool hardware I found that allows it to move in all three axis: Z up/down, X fore/aft and Y left/right. This gives us total flexibility to have this table at just the right height and position to use as a dining table, coffee table or additional Queen Bed. But WAIT! There’s more!
Look what showed up late Friday evening as I was leaving the shipyard!
Without cheating by zooming in, can you guess what this sturdy crate contains?
It arrived via air freight direct from Vancouver if that helps?
Yup, all of the many components that make out our rock solid steering system along with the controls for the Gardner engine and the Nogva CPP servo gearbox. As per the label here this all comes from Kobelt which is based in one of my old home towns of Vancouver not far from where I did some of my teacher training at BCIT many decades ago. I worked closely with our designer Dennis and Lance and his team at Kobelt for over two years to design the Goldilocks just right steering for our XPM78-01 so you can imagine how happy I was to see this big beautiful crate full of steering goodness finally arrive.
Even though it was very late and Yigit and I were the only ones still in the yard, I just couldn’t resist taking a peek inside a few of the boxes so I’ll share two with you.
This is one of the pair of double acting 75mm/3” ID hydraulic cylinders that will move the rudder and steer the boat. Each one is sized to be able to fully steer the boat in all conditions so a double redundant system. And then check out one of the pair of Accu-Steer HPU400 hydraulic pumps which will provide all the hydraulic pressure to run those cylinders. These are massively strong and weigh in at 44kg/95 lbs each and are an integral part of what I’m sure is going to be an awemazing steering system in our XPM78-01 Möbius.
Much more to follow on the whole steering system in upcoming Weekly Updates as the installation begins and I will also be posting some Tech Talk articles where we can dive into all the details of the whole steering system design.
And th-th-th-that’s all for this week that was October 7 to 11 2019.
We really do enjoy sharing this whole adventure with you and want to thank all of you who take the time to read these. Special thanks to those of you who contribute comments and questions in the “Join the Discussion” box down below and hope that more of you will do the same.
For those of you too young to remember the title refers to a popular commercial in the 1970’s and 80’s for the leading edge of cassette audio tapes made by Memorex which were being touted as so good at capturing audio that they came up with the catchy marketing question; “Is it live or is it Memorex”. Here is a little video clip of one of the many versions of this long running ad campaign featuring Ella Fitzgerald.
And if phantasmagoria is not in your vocabulary I would like to help you add it because it is a word which articulates what I believe is becoming a more and more common state of mind defined as “A dreamlike state in which images both real or imagined blur together”. I’m experiencing this more and more as my day to day working on the design and building of Möbius involves constantly cycling between the visions for this boat I’ve had in my head for so long, the virtual worlds of 3D models and renderings and the real world of the ever evolving boat.
Then to add yet another dimension to all this phantasmagoria I’m experiencing, Naval Yachts recently had a scale model of our XPM78-01 built to be part of their booth at the Cannes Boat show last month. If you click to enlarge this photo you can see the model of the XPM in the clear case on the right and one of the GN60 on the left. After seeing a few pictures of this model in a previous post many of you wanted to see and know more about it so I thought I would post this short overview of this very nicely done model now that it is proudly on display in the reception area at Naval Yachts. They only gave the poor model maker less than a month to build this from scratch and get it shipped to Cannes in time and I think he did a very good job. He was given the whole 3D model, drawings and some renderings to work from and he captured a lot of the intricate details in the model which was all done by hand, no 3D printing involved. A look into the Outdoor Galley just behind the aft end of the Pilot House with the SkyBridge above. This is what the birds flying by the Starboard side will see as they are peering into the Helm up in the SkyBridge.
or this view of the Starboard side a bit further forward. Good overall view from the bow with our “Sidewinder” anchor setup and the Dolphin watching seats which Uğur just welded in this week and you can see in the Weekly Update post to follow. Finally, this perspective of the Aft Deck and Swim Platform.
I thought a bit of video might be a nice way to finish so created this little “simulated Drone fly by”. My apologies in advance for the poor quality I didn’t have my stabilised holder with me so it is a bit shaky but I hope you enjoy it none the less.
Thanks for joining us and please leave your questions, comments and suggestions in the “Join the Discussion” box below.
The models of the GN60 and XPM78 that were at the Cannes Boat Show last month made it back here and are now gracing the reception area of Naval Yachts. A great welcome to all visitors and I’ll get more shots of these models for you in an upcoming post.
On the other side of these Naval offices inside the shipyard itself, It was another very busy week for Team Möbius here at Naval Yachts with lots of progress made by the teams working on the cabinetry, plumbing and aluminium so let’s jump right in and start by checking into what the Aluminium works team was up to this week, which will also reveal the meaning of this week’s title.
We have finally been able to extract Enver (foreground) and Okan from their hectic work getting Legacy all finished so they picked up on the fabrication of the two large Vent Boxes which sit just behind the aft end of the Pilot House. Like many components on the XPM, these Vent Boxes are very multi functional with their primary purpose being to provide venting in and out of the Engine Room as well as venting for the Workshop, the Aft Cabin and the Corridor area beside the Aft Cabin.
The flat bars tacked to the sides are to ensure that the AL plate stays flat while the internal baffles are being welded in place.
In addition these two Vent Boxes will also create our outdoor Galley with an electric BBQ which goes in the lowered area you see here on the Starboard/Right side Vent Box.
Peering inside the Stbd Vent Box you can see some of the various compartments which contain the different vents. The large rectangular opening seen here in the middle is for the exiting air being extracted from the Engine Room enclosure via that rectangular duct in the bottom right corner which in turn connects to the same size duct inside the ER. This warm air exits out a grill that will soon be installed on the top side of this section. The Port side Vent Box has two venting functions, primary being the supply of clean, cool, dry air for the Engine Room which is the upper area in this photo and then the bottom area is where air is extracted from the Guest Shower.
The top surfaces of these Vent Boxes will be finished with Corian covered countertops and there will be a deep sink in that bottom area. Both Vent Boxes also have areas inside that will serve as storage cabinets with hinged doors for things like deck washdown hoses, electrical outlets, BBQ equipment, etc..
Once they had the internal baffles all tacked in place the Vent Boxes were taken onboard to their respective new homes and then tack welded to the deck for final fitting.
The large rectangular hatch in the deck between these Vent Boxes opens up along the whole length of the Engine Room so that the entire engine and CPP servo gear box and be taken in/out. It is hinged and dogged down so this will also provide lots of daylight and fresh air for me when I’m working on the Gardner or the Nogva CPP. What a luxury THAT will be!
Moving back on the Aft Deck helps to see how this area all fits together. This cantilevered roof with temporary supports for now, will provide plenty of shade in sunny weather and then lots of shelter from the rain as well.
You can also see how this roof and those two Wing Boxes on either side of the Pilot House create a very well protected area for the stairs up to the SkyBridge and the entry door into the SuperSalon. There will also be three full size 360-380Wp solar panels mounted on top,
Not to be outdone Uğur was as busy and productive as ever and he started building a whole new component which was very exciting to see happening. Can you guess what it is? Does an end view help guess? Getting warmer?
If you guessed Rudder, pat yourself on the back.
Sorry, no free T-shirts just yet, but we do have the Mobius.World logo all done so maybe T-Shirts are next? If you also look at two photos up and then this one, you can see how Uğur has fabricated a set of horizontal frames which will be welded to either side of this center plate. That plate gives you a good idea of how bit his rudder is, a bit more than a meter square which should give us eXcellent steering capabilities in all conditions. Uğur is very precise and yet fast so he soon has all those frames tacked together and to the center plate. The series of angled 10mm/ 3/8” plates in the foreground form the top surface of the rudder with the holes where the solid 127mm / 5” OD rudder shaft will soon go and be welded to all the frames. This top surface is angled like this to clear where it sits inside of the prop tunnel in the hull.
Once the rudder shaft is machined and fully welded to each frame and the center plate the curved outer surface plates will be fully welded in place to create a very strong yet light rudder. Two features some of you will appreciate are that the shaft only extends into the rudder for about 2/3rds of the length and the bottom third is purposely made to take the brunt of the damage in case of a grounding and leave the rudder still very functional.
Second feature is a hole that will be bored all the way through the rudder body when it is hard over at 45 degrees and lined up so that the prop shaft can be removed without having to remove the rudder. Removing the prop shaft is not a very common occurrence but it sure does help when you do. Ask me how I know?!! Still no T-Shirts for the winner but one more Quiz for you today. Can you guess what this bit of hardware is going to be used for?
Hint: It is related to the title of this week’s post. Here is the other half it mates with if that helps?
Hint: They create a very solid hinge point. Does it help if you see how it will be assembled? BINGO!! These are the hinge pivots for raising and lowering the SkyBridge roof. Here’s what it looks like on the other side. If you have not seen it previously, this short animation shows how this works and allows the whole roof to be lowered and raised. A VERY cool setup which our brilliant designer Dennis (Artnautica NZ and EU)worked out with us. Yigit has now perfected it even further.
We have since changed those forward two hinged support rods with a simpler design by mounting them on the outside. These two hinged supports can be quickly installed when we want to raise or lower the SkyBridge roof and normally be stored down in the Workshop.
Uğur had the crane in and out so fast that I missed it but here are a few shots of how it looks now that it is set in place for the very first time. Looking aft from the bow. Here is a view that the fish will see looking up from underwater. The eight framed openings in the roof will eventually be filled with eight of our 360Wp solar panels which will be bolted and adhered in place to do double duty as the roof’s outer surface. There will also be venting in the front edge to keep breezes flowing over the undersides of the solar panels to keep them cool and efficient.
Now up on the Aft Deck looking up, if you look closely (click to enlarge any photo) you can see how the rear hinge points connect the roof to the Arch.
My first time seeing this roof in place when standing up in the middle of the SkyBridge floor. Stairs on the left and Helm Station on center with nice big hatch to the right so Christine and I can talk to each other when on different levels, pass up coffee and meals and add more fresh air into the SuperSalon in any weather as this hatch is now fully protected. This is your view when seated in the SkyBridge Helm chair with great sightlines over the first three meters or so of the bow. A few steps forward to the front of the SkyBridge provides you with this vantage point with most of the foredeck now fully in view. The large angled bay set into the PH roof you can see here, will be home to three of our solar panels mounted on a single rack which hinges at along the bottom edge here. This enables the whole set of solar panels be lowered down and locked to the very front edge here when on passage and then once on anchor easily unlocked and raised up so the panels are flat and then form a huge wind tunnel to capture all the breezes blowing over the bow and direct them through a mist eliminating grill and then down into a plenum overhead in the center of the SuperSalon ceiling where they are controlled by five 100mm / 4” adjustable round diffusers which you may recall from a posting a few months ago.
Sightlines are eXtremely important for safety and navigation, especially when docking or other close quarter manoeuvres so we worked very hard wtih Dennis to be able to get them just right and with full visibility around the entire perimeter of the hull. For example, if I move over to the Starboard/Right side of the SkyBridge I can see the entire length of those massive Rub Rail edges. Moving to the aft corner of the SkyBridge and leaning out let me get this shot to show how those rear hinge pins work. The arm coming out to the left is the support rest for the Paravane A-Frame pole when it is stowed vertical. Looking straight up provides this closer look at how the hinge pins work. The center hinge pin itself has been machined from solid 316SS with a close sliding fit into the aluminum cylinders on the outside. A bit of TefGel when they are finally assembled will keep these hinges well lubricated and corrosion free and can be easily checked on annual services or as needed. Inside Möbius, Cihan was busy putting in more PEX lines for hot and cold water. Here he is in the Master Cabin starting to put in the Red PEX tubing you see in the foreground into the hot water manifold on the left of the hull with the four red handled ball valves. Zooming in on that manifold you can see that he has one of these Red PEX lines already on the manifold and mostly wrapped in black EPDM insulation foam which makes it difficult to see at first. A short while later both hot and cold manifolds have their respective PEX lines connected and the outgoing hot lines just need to have the final insulation added below the red handles similar to what you see on top. Sorry for the poor lighting but up in the SuperSalon Cihan is installing the white PPR/PVC lines for the AirCon air handlers. There will be one 18k BTU air handler on each side of the SuperSalon. Last but definately not least Omur, Selim and Omer had another super productive week in the Cabinetry shop and aboard Möbius so let’s go take a look at what they’ve been up to.
Omer is responsible for the cabinetry in the Guest Cabin and this was the status of the pull out Queen bed unit on Monday morning and we can watch it progress through the week. This recent rendering will show you about what the finished Guest Cabin will look like when you are standing over on the far aft Port/Left side where the shower will be. We are looking towards the forward corner on the Stbd side here to show the couch/pull-out bed, Christine’s desk on the far right and the bookshelves above both. Omer is demonstrating how these thick strong slats which form the foundation of the bed have these sliding tongue and groove pieces which alternate with one attached to the wall side and the other to the pull out section of the bed. Fresh out of the shaper here are all those slats ready for sanding and then mounting. The first slat is attached to the seat frame ………… ……. and soon joined by the whole Slat family with the Rosewood pull out end ready to …… …….. head off to be test fitted onboard in the Guest Cabin. Looking through the entry into the Guest Cabin we can see it fits just right and …. ….. works just right as well. I have built this style of pull out extensions in other furniture before and it works very well. Very strong, no hardware required, simple to operate, what’s not to like? I sometimes rub the tongues with some hard wax to allow them to slide even easier but the fit is purposely loose so often not needed. With the pull out bed fitted Omer heads back to the workshop to start preparing the next parts for the couch assembly so let’s go find Omur and Selim and see what they are working on. We find Omur setting up the shaper ….. …… with a 50mm / 2” radius cutter he will use to turn this laminated Rosewood into a fully rounded corner. Given the size of this cutter and the length of the board this is best done with two people so Selim lends a hand.
Over in the middle of the shop, they have setup this temporary platform as they start to assemble all the cabinets for the Galley. This is looking at the back sides of two of the Galley Cabinets which form the corner against the Starboard side windows with the settee running along the back of the cupboard on the right here. Zooming in on one of the renders they have on the easel will remind you how the Galley cupboards in the upper right corner and the other areas of the SuperSalon are arranged. Moving counter clockwise from the bottom right: Stairs coming down from the WT Entry door with the Galley on your right hand side, L shaped dinette forward of that with stairs down to the Master Cabin in the upper left corner, Main Helm center left, then Lounge with the four unit fridge/freezer cabinet just right of bottom center and then the stairs which take you down to the Corridor to the Workshop and the Guest Cabin.
Back to the Cabinet shop looking from the right side of that same mock up above, the long edge extending to the right is the edge paralleling the windows and the far right end of this is about the middle divider of the double sinks you can see in the render above. All the spaces under the countertops are filled wtih different size drawers as we much prefer drawers to shelves. Moving in a bit closer to show you some of those drawer sizes and layouts. And of course catch a glimpse of one of those eXtremely beautiful solid Rosewood rounded corners. Sitting upside down another Galley drawer unit gets its toe kick panels attached. The tall skinny opening is a single drawer with no sides that will have a series of racks inside for storing spices, cans, jars and the like to give you ready access to these often used items from either side of the drawer. Something like this perhaps? Still upside down and seen from the opposite side this is the panel that will be on your right hand as you descend the stairs into the Galley. There will be dimmable LED indirect lighting in the grooves above these toe kick recesses and throughout the whole interior. With the cupboards all assembled they too get moved aboard for fitting.
This Rosewood is literally costing us a fortune but we expect to live aboard this boat for most or all of the rest or our lives and being surrounded by this beauty every day will add to our joy of living, loving and learning so we think it is a great investment in ourselves. What do you think? Standing up in the WT door looking down and towards the bow, all three Galley cabinets are now onboard and ready for outfitting. All the interior cabinetry sets upon these epoxy covered solid wood foundations. which Omur and Selim painstakingly level to within 1mm By using these little wedges and then filling the space underneath with epoxy filler to secure to the floor. With the foundations all leveled and waiting for the epoxy to dry Omur whipped up this ingenious little pattern to precisely replicate the angles and dimensions of …. …. the aluminium stairs which that one cabinet intersects. Exacting and time consuming in the eXtreme but this kind of craftsmanship produces this degree of fit and finish which makes it SO rewarding for both these craftsmen AND lucky us. Whew!

In the conviction of the Ministry of Labor in strengthening the principle of partnership with the private sector on the basis of joint responsibility and cooperation in the spirit of one team, encouraging investment and enhancing national economic growth by facilitating the procedures for the recruitment and use of expatriate workers;
The Jordanian Ministry of Labor has initiated the implementation of the Golden List Program project, which is a Code of Practice developed on the basis of a commitment to the application of basic international labor standards. The Ministry of Labor, by virtue of this program, applies modern techniques to assess the extent to which companies applying for this program comply with work requirements and approved international labor conditions and standards through actual auditing of performance of the companies and their compliance with the standards and mechanisms approved for this program, in coordination and continuous consultation with them.
The idea of the Golden List came to follow up on commitment of the companies to implement the provisions of the Jordanian Labor Law, such as commitment to wages, working hours, overtime and providing decent work terms and conditions.
Any company that is placed on the Golden List after fulfilling all the conditions referred to, is granted an exemption from the bank guarantee stipulated in the instructions of the Labor Law in the event that the employer wishes to recruit and use expatriate workers.
Any company wishing to join the Golden List to benefit from the benefits offered is required to submit a letter of desire to the Minister of Labor, accompanied by a statement of salaries of the employees of the company wishing to join, a copy of employment contract of the labour, a copy of the last report issued by the auditors of the purchaser and an audited budget from the company.
In addition, the company provides a certificate stating that all employees of the company are affiliated with social security, a profession license, beside a list of the names of expatriate workers, their work permit numbers and their validity period, in addition to the company signing an agreement to train and employ Jordanians with the National Training and Employment Project. | <urn:uuid:4b6bbb06-7e7b-4a8b-86ba-097d0fe6c111> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://mol.gov.jo/EN/Pages/The_Golden_List | 2024-04-16T03:41:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.954503 | 401 |

Moth monsters with soft fur covering their bodies and large wings with peculiar patterns. They prefer to dwell in dark places, but have a tendency to be attracted to lights. They have a special sensory organ that detects a human man’s essence as light, and they fly around wandering in pursuit of human men, drawn by the radiance of essence.
They have a gentle disposition, but also have simple thoughts and values, and the only thing on their mind is mating with human men and getting pregnant. When they’re fond of a man, it’s directly linked to becoming pregnant with that man’s offspring, and for that reason bearing their partner’s offspring and the act required for that purpose are their greatest expressions of love. When they find a human man that strikes their fancy, they flap their wings especially strongly and shower him with powdery scales. This powder has a bewitching effect, and those who breathe in a large amount of it will temporarily become simpleminded to the same degree as them. In other words, they’ll start having primitive thoughts rooted in biology like “there’s a good female right before my very eyes, so I want to impregnate her and make her have my children.”
When these females who just want to get pregnant with the child of the male in front of them attack a man in this state, he will be unable to refuse them. They will both have intercourse to impregnate/get pregnant, and sperm will be poured inside her womb. Pure pleasure will easily make a man their prisoner when he’s unable to think due to the state of simple-mindedness.
Once they’ve obtained a husband, they start to sense their husband’s essence as an even stronger and warmer light, to the point that other lights feel dim to them. To them, this light is like the only light in the darkness. Their heart and body are always drawn towards that light, and they desire to nestle close to their husband as if to aggressively fawn on and cling to him. And once they touch the light of their husband directly, they get an unlimited urge to have his sperm poured inside and have life dwell within their womb, and then it makes them want to have children with their husband even more.
Their powder doesn’t drop when they’re flying normally. It only scatters if they flap strongly. They don’t usually deliberately try to scatter it either. Most of the time, they scatter it unconsciously when they flap their wings strongly because they became aroused and happy from finding a man. In this way, they are easily moved to action by emotion, but it’s really something else when they’re overjoyed after becoming pregnant with the child of their beloved husband. They get so excited they fly around here and there, and scatter powder all over the entire area around them.
Of course, the area will become full of couples having intercourse for the sake of impregnation and fertilization, so it’s troublesome. However, among monsters it is commonly believed that inhaling this powder before intercourse with one’s husband increases fertility, so it’s generally welcomed when they “go out of control.” | <urn:uuid:ada5da83-aa32-4d66-a1fe-1827fe8d2ca1> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://monstergirlencyclopedia.miraheze.org/wiki/Mothman | 2024-04-16T03:30:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.97466 | 672 |
Quebec geologist back home after being detained in Dubai
Canadian Andre Gauthier is shown in a handout photo. (THE CANADIAN PRESS/HO-Detained in Dubai)
MONTREAL -- A Quebec man who was detained in Dubai is finally free and back home in Canada after a years-long battle over fraud charges.
Lawyer Radha Stirling confirmed her client, Andre Gauthier, arrived in Toronto on May 4 where he quarantined for three days before going home to Quebec, making it just in time for his wife’s birthday.
Gauthier, a geologist, was jailed in Dubai after allegedly uncovering fraud in a gold company and had been detained on and off in the Middle East since 2015. His family said he was a whistleblower who alerted authorities in the United Arab Emirates to irregular dealings in a gold-trading company, Gold AE.
Although all charges were eventually dropped last summer, he was held to answer to civil charges stemming from the same case.
After mounting pressure for his release, including a letter from his son Alexis to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Stirling’s organization, Detained in Duabai, helped secure his release.
"It was absolutely outrageous, and we are grateful for the Canadian government’s responsiveness to our calls for intervention and for welcoming our input," she wrote in a press release.
"While it was frustrating for everyone involved that the resolution took so long, the UAE finally acknowledged André’s innocence, and ultimately that is all that matters." | <urn:uuid:3ae66201-49ae-41e5-9351-01cd3d169409> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://montreal.ctvnews.ca/quebec-geologist-back-home-after-being-detained-in-dubai-1.5422415 | 2024-04-16T03:48:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.983929 | 321 |

A reader wrote in:
This Back to Sleep stuff drives me nuts. I don't know why it is safer, but it can be really hard to get some babies to sleep on their backs. I have two daughters, 3 and 2 1/2 weeks, who both refuse to sleep on their backs. Both will sleep for 3 hours or so (and have since birth) if laid on their stomachs, and both could, from birth, lift up their heads enough to switch the cheek that is on the mattress. When, as a brand new mom, I tried to get my oldest to sleep on her back, I would put her down, and immediately she would throw her little fists up in the air, scrunch up her face, and let that newborn "you're hurting me!" scream go. After one tearful and sleepless night, my husband and I acquiesced to her desire to sleep on her stomach and have had no sleep problems with her since.So the question is, what do educators and parental counselors or whatever do with a baby like this? According to both my mother and my mother-in-law, my husband, I, and our siblings were all this way. I imagine that things like this are underrepresented in studies because we parents are often made to feel like bad parents when we can't get our children to do this. It just frustrates me to read these things when I know that it is just not possible sometimes.
Pamela Pilch's reply from her pediatrician:
All this stuff is really hard because we are talking about statistics and not individual kids. The way I think about it is like this:All of us who were babies in the 60's, 70's and 80's slept on our bellies. For those of us born in the 60's and 70's, our parents also never put us in car seats. Car seats do save lives, because you will never know (heaven forbid) if you will get in a car crash. "Back to Sleep" has also saved lives. We now tell people to put their babies
down on their backs, because we can never know if their kid is going to be the one in a million who will have this faulty "wake up cause you don't have enough oxygen!" control center in their brain. Of course there are known risk factors for SIDS...but even if you are a wealthy/non smoking/breastfeeding family, there are still SIDS cases in
I never, ever, ever had a baby who slept on their back. Ever. I hate sleeping on my back. I feel like I'm suffocating, hence why I am up at 11PM, 3 AM, 4 AM blogging: because it is hard to lie on your stomach pregnant and sleep.
When my brothers were born in '83, '85, '87, and my son in '89, the trend was stomach sleeping. When my daughter was born in '93, the trend was side or back, but not stomach. I suppose that is still accurate. If you had the opportunity to take care of babies consistently for like 20 years, you will notice trends start out, get refuted as "bad mothering", and come back into the mainstream. I am not so stupid that I don't understand that there is more evidence supporting the "back to sleep" thing as opposed to what Grandma says versus what her granddaughter claims. But I also question if this research looks at parenting a baby as a whole.
I mentioned, I rarely had a child who sleeps on their back. But I also never had a baby who would allow me to put them down for the first year. Naps have always been in my arms. We don't even own a crib. I had two plus an Arm's Reach Co-Sleeper. They became stuffed animal bins. Not one child of mine allowed me to put them in a crib. I started co-sleeping with my first not because I wanted to take a hardline AP political stance, but because I had a colicky child who left me incredibly sleep deprived, and this was the only way to get any kind of sleep. If I do get 20 minutes with a baby napping out of my arms, they wake up when I am not in their vicinty, especially if I am not in the same room. So yes, occasionally, if the planets are aligned correctly, and if no one else in the house breathes too hard, I might be able to put my child down, and if the breezes are especially non-turbulent, maybe on their back.
I am wondering how prone to SIDS a baby is that spends 85% (at least) of their time if not in their mother's arms, someone's arms? This as opposed to a child who is in daycare, for example?
Pamela's last words on this entry:
I also think there is another issue here - not specifically brought up by my reader, but a concern to many parents. What if parents are so sleep-deprived that they NEED their infant to sleep more so they don't go nuts? The reason belly-sleeping was initiated in the first place was because babies DO sleep longer and more deeply that way. It's just that babies are not necessarily supposed to sleep that long and deeply. But parents are exhausted. What do we do about that?
20 minutes every couple of weeks...
I am not militantly anti-back-sleeper or anything. I just think some of these hard fast rules about what good mothers do are very difficult to translate into practical terms. Personally, I think parenting decisions have to make sense. I don't believe Grandma's advice is always best becasue that is how they have been doing it for years. Breast over bottle, in my opinion, is more sensical-it is cheaper, less work, and stimulates a bond with the baby. If you have to work, it may not be more practical. Cloth diapering is cheaper, but it may be more work if you have 4 kids in diapers. Car seats always make sense, because first and foremost, the alternative is illegal. Past that, I am not even sure the subject needs to be pursued. If you have a term baby from a healthy pregnancy that is in a non-smoking home, with no history of SIDS that absolutely will not sleep on their backs-what does common sense say? Or more to the point, what are mothers going to do in that situation? | <urn:uuid:e8eb8c7b-0436-4b53-aaa3-a9dd92f7dc6d> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://moss-place.stblogs.org/archives/2006/09/back_sleeping_d.html | 2024-04-16T03:23:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.986876 | 1,333 |

Single-crystalline membranes of functional materials enable the tuning of properties via extreme strain states; however, conventional routes for producing membranes require the use of sacrificial layers and chemical etchants, which can both damage the membrane and limit the ability to make them ultrathin. Here we demonstrate the epitaxial growth of the cubic Heusler compound GdPtSb on graphene-terminated Al2O3 substrates. Despite the presence of the graphene interlayer, the Heusler films have epitaxial registry to the underlying sapphire, as revealed by x-ray diffraction, reflection high energy electron diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy. The weak Van der Waals interactions of graphene enable mechanical exfoliation to yield free-standing GdPtSb membranes, which form ripples when transferred to a flexible polymer handle. Whereas unstrained GdPtSb is antiferromagnetic, measurements on rippled membranes show a spontaneous magnetic moment at room temperature, with a saturation magnetization of 5.2 bohr magneton per Gd. First-principles calculations show that the coupling to homogeneous strain is too small to induce ferromagnetism, suggesting a dominant role for strain gradients. Our membranes provide a novel platform for tuning the magnetic properties of intermetallic compounds via strain (piezomagnetism and magnetostriction) and strain gradients (flexomagnetism). | <urn:uuid:8a4a22c4-7132-4c57-8126-e8f201af7bf7> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://mse.ufl.edu/events/mse-seminar-epitaxy-exfoliation-and-strain-induced-magnetism-in-rippled-heusler-membranes/ | 2024-04-16T05:12:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.868265 | 481 |

Jerick McKinnon attended Georgia Southern University from 2010 until 2013. McKinnon was first drafted as a quarterback and handled special team responsibilities before being used as a quarterback and slotback during the 2010 season.
He participated in GSU’s triple-option strategy as the quarterback through his junior season, but his senior season saw him used more frequently as a tailback.
McKinnon, a four-year letterwinner, finished his career third all-time at Georgia Southern with 3,899 rushing yards and 42 touchdowns (4,138 all-purpose yards), only behind Jermaine Austin and Adrian Peterson, who amassed 5,411 yards and 5,559 yards, respectively. Peterson was the NCAA Division I all-time leading rusher from 1998 to 2001 with 6,559 yards.
Jerick McKinnon and the Kansas City Chiefs came to terms on a one-year deal on April 30, 2021. He was put on injured reserve on November 30.
His operational start date was January 1st, 2022. In Week 18, against the Denver Broncos, in the final game of the regular season, McKinnon scored his first rushing touchdown for Kansas City.
The Chiefs defeated the Broncos 28-24. In the 42-21 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card Round, McKinnon had a day with 142 scrimmage yards and a receiving touchdown. He renewed his agreement with the team on June 14, 2022.
The Minnesota Vikings selected McKinnon 96th overall in the third round of the 2014 NFL Draft. He was chosen that year as the seventh running back. The selection was acquired in 2013 as part of the Percy Harvin trade to Seattle.
McKinnon participated in football and track at Sprayberry High School in Marietta, Georgia. He was a quarterback, running back, and wide receiver in football. He was selected for the first team of all-state quarterbacks by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Who Is Jerick McKinnon’s Girlfriend?
The player is dating one hot lady named Giuliana who is believed to be a personal trainer evident in the kind of photos she shares on her social media platforms. | <urn:uuid:bbbf2186-60a3-497b-9ac3-2a89f6a39897> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://mufcarena.com/who-is-jerick-mckinnons-girlfriend/ | 2024-04-16T05:16:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.984322 | 438 |
Holidays are slowly coming, and it’s always good to be prepared. Even though you think you may be still have time, trust me, one blink and it is summer 2017. Buying gifts for ladies is easy, but men are a whole other story. There’s no such thing as “signature guy present” like flowers for girls for example. Even though men might be far less complicated than us, they make it all up with this trouble they give us every holiday, birthday, anniversary, etc. Lucky for you, we are in the year 2016 and you have access to the internet – but that’s not why you’re lucky, no. You are lucky because you found this article, and without further ado here are some creative gift ideas to make your man happy. Enjoy.
Guy with some kind of hobby
What does he like? Is it basketball? Or maybe cars? Games? Golf? What is he passionate about? If you know the answer to this – congrats, you will have the easiest time because you’re two-thirds away from finding the perfect gift. Your major and only problem does he already has that thing. The key is to turn yourself into a little Sherlock and sniff through his apartment, his rooms, closets, etc. If you two are living together then you know everything so you can skip this part. The next thing is shopping. For a sporty guy – sports shops are your friends (you can get him anything from a ball all the way to his favorite team jersey, and maybe a ticket for some sports match with it). If he’s into cool apparel, you could probably get him an Illuminati Group zip-up hoodie or t-shirt from websites such as https://illuminati-glass.com/collections/apparel. For a gamer – PC stores (get him a cool game you know he wants or doesn’t have, or a gaming console or maybe even a cool backlit keyboard if he’s a PC type). Gym freak? Hello, dumbbells. You know already. And, if he likes to attend pride rallies and is an avid supporter of social causes, then you can gift him personalized bracelets from brands like Rastaclat or custom-made t-shirts. If you already bought something similar for him for a last holiday or anniversary – go with the food. Trust me, nobody can resist a basketball-shaped cake or something like that.
Speaking of food, – how great it is to be with a food lover, oh my God! If any relationship will give you some extra pounds – this one will, but at least, you will gain them happy. Now the gift part, since there’s nothing he enjoys more than a good meal, why wouldn’t you make him a private fancy dinner with wine or champagne at your home, served by the butler (you can rent a butler for a night believe it or not) for just the two of you? The dinner has to contain his favorite meal of course. Later, you can give him a nice massage (or a belly rub). If you are not good with cooking, you can take him out to a fancy restaurant.
Multi part gifts
The rule here is simple: the gift contains at least 4 things: something he needs, something he likes, something edible, and something from your heart. For example, you can get him: 1. his favorite perfume he ran out of, or a watch he really wants; 2. some custom hawaiian shirts similar to to the ones you two saw at the shop window while you were walking through the city and 3. a six-pack of his favorite beer or box of his favorite chocolate. Now comes forth, and the most tricky part – personalised gifts. I separated this on purpose because it needs very special attention. How do you feel about him? Is there something you want to say to him? Your favorite things about him or your favorite memories? Write it on your computer, add some of your favorite pictures of you two and print it. Of course, you shouldn’t make him read it in front of you, trust me, he will read it every day with a smile on his face. If you are not much of a writer, you can also get him a coffee mug with a picture of you two and a nice note hidden somewhere, snowball, scrapbook out of your favorite pictures and screenshotted messages, or maybe even a slideshow with pictures of your dearest memories and favorite songs.
Are you two hedonist types? If you are, is there anything more perfect than a day or a weekend at the spa for the two of you? Many spas (especially for holidays) have all kinds of couple opportunities where you can have an entire spa just for yourselves for a couple of hours. Just make sure that you book everything in time.
Simple, but useful. An unwritten and known fact is that the guy always lacks a good shaving set – just like girls never have enough makeup. You can’t make a mistake with this and also, whenever he goes to shave from now on, he will think of you.
So there you have it, I hope it helped. If you maybe don’t think that these will work, you can always get him a gift card from his favorite store. Whatever you decide, please don’t stress out – he’s your man, and whatever you get him, he will love it because it’s from his favorite girl in the world. | <urn:uuid:0605dcc4-ff25-4f65-86b1-24ae4639fda6> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://mummysgonemad.com/art-gift-giving/ | 2024-04-16T05:31:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.971799 | 1,150 |

I found this very interesting. This doctor is really a fan of Klonopin for Chronic Fatigue patients. He runs a CF clinic in North Carolina here in the states. Scott and I have tossed around the idea that Migraine, Chronic Fatigue, and Fibromyalgia probably share some similar wiring. ON a side note, there is some research about virus playing a role in how this begins or at least how it exacerbates…FOr myself and others, Klonopin has been quite helpful in calming the sensory overload that a lot of us experience. I love that this guy is saying TAKE IT…it’s PROTECTING YOUR BRAIN…wouldn’t you love to show it to the docs who are benzo nazis? Interested to hear any thoughts…
If you have any trouble with the link, you can find it under a Google search of Dr. Cheney and Klonopin…
that is a very interesting article. i have never heard of klonopin described in that way. i’ve been on it for meniere’s for…geez, maybe 3 years now. it really did wonders for me for a long time. my oto is a big fan of it to help stop dizziness and balance issues if the usual tricks of taking valium as needed are no longer working. he also uses it as another step between meds and destructive procedures. for me, it bought me probably at least another year’s time of being able to stay at work. i was a teacher and my balance was getting so bad that i was barely able to walk down the halls and get through the days. the klonopin worked really well for me and helped my balance for a long time.
unfortunately, as i seemed to progress through “burnout” and started to have precursors to “drop attacks,” we had to move on to the gent injections. i am still on the klonopin and have weaned myself down by half on my afternoon and evening doses to 0.25mg. i tried to half my morning dose but the dizziness came back so i went back up. now after reading this article, i don’t feel so bad about that. i’ve got a lot going on in my life right now and i’m still only 3 1/2 months out from my last injection and dealing with migraines as well.
so i’ll stick with my 0.5mg klonopin in the a.m. for a while longer. it really has been a big help for me.
It is nice when we don’t have to feel guilty for using a med that actually works…the ones that make us crazy or have horrible side effects we’re supposed to soldier on, but the ones with no side effects that just make us feel better are somehow “bad”…not every doctor agrees thank Goodness! | <urn:uuid:7769f07c-f755-43dc-8795-f99a68299cf0> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://mvertigo.org/t/klonopin/2636 | 2024-04-16T04:33:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.968001 | 618 |
As of January 2018=9, the problem still arises when an unsuspecting user attempts to control the screen brightness by using F11 (neg brightness) or F12 (positive brightness) with Windows 10 OS.
Under certain scenarios, this results in screen going to the darkest setting and F11 or F12 keys will not change the screen brightness.
With Windows 8, you could have defaulted to Microsoft Display driver to fix this problem, but this solution is no longer available under W10
This solution is applicable to IdeaPad Z400 and Windows 10
You will need to downgrade the video driver. Unfortunately, if you attempt to change the brightness, the screen will go dark and you will need to re-install this driver.
- Step #1 – Search for “Lenovo IdeaPad P400 Intel video driver” (https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds031547)
- Check your Windows version an download the appropriate version. For example, if w10 is 32 bit, then download the 32 bit driver (1hvi13w8.exe); for the 64 bit version, download the 64 bit driver (1hvi14w8.exe)
- Double click to unpack (don’t worry, the screen will say installing – ignore this message)
- Once unpacked, you will get a pop up screen to install (again). Uncheck the box and click FINISH
- Using Windows Explorer (file manager), go to C:\drivers\intel\intel video drivers\ then double click setup.exe to install
- Reboot and your problem should be fixed!

Dogs are known for being loyal and loving companions, but they can also be fun. If you’re looking for ways to entertain your dog, one option is to give them a red rocket. This toy is essentially a doggy version of a firecracker, and it will keep your pet entertained for hours on end. This article will teach you how to give a dog a red rocket. Let’s get started!
Dogs are like family, which means we want to make sure they’re always safe and healthy. But unfortunately, not all pet toys are safe. For example, even though your dog isn’t likely to gnaw off pieces of a red rocket, the tubes can still pose a choking hazard if they break open.
What Is Dog Red Rocket?
Red rocket is a common name for an herbal remedy called ‘Cherry Bark’, which may or may not be the correct scientific term. There are many different herbs in Red Rocket, but cherry bark is one of them. It can grow to 65 feet tall and has green leaves. The cherry bark goes through several processing phases with each year’s new growth before it becomes red and ready to use medicinally.
Why Would You Use Dog Red Rocket?
Dog red rocket might come in handy when you have a dog with digestive problems, urinary tract infections, bladder stones, or kidney disease. Its active ingredient is oxalic acid, which helps dissolve crystals that irritate dogs’ bladder walls (uroliths). The herbal extract is also supposed to dissolve and flush out kidney stones and gravel, but there is no proof whatsoever.
There were no side effects in any clinical studies involving giving dog-red rockets to dogs with bladder infections or urinary tract disease. Even when combined with other remedies such as cranberry extract, it doesn’t seem to cause diarrhea as some people think.
However, it may be wise not to give your pet red rocket if they already have problems with their liver or kidneys since oxalic acid can irritate these organs too. It might be good to consult your vet before using Red Rocket on your canine companion.
A Detailed Guide on How to Give a Dog a Red Rocket
Step 1: Determine if your dog needs a red rocket.
Before you go ahead and give your dog a red rocket, you must determine whether or not your pooch needs to have this done. There are sure signs that will indicate whether or not your canine friend has an obstruction in their anal gland. It is highly recommended that you make a note of the following symptoms to ensure that your fur baby needs their watermelon-sized anal sacs emptied:
- Your doggo begins scooting their butt across the floor
- Your doggo is lethargic when they usually would be playful
- You notice irritation around the anus region. If any of these symptoms sound all too familiar to you, a red rocket may be necessary.
Step 2: Determine where your dog needs to have the red rocket given
This step requires a bit of mental acuity. You must know where your dog’s anal glands are located to provide them with their much-needed dose of Poo-Pourri successfully. If you are still struggling to figure out where your pet’s anal glands are, do not fret!
Step 3: Find an elevated platform for your puppy.
One of the most crucial parts of giving your dog a red rocket is finding an elevated platform to stand on. This will help you determine if there are any obstructions in their anal glands. In addition, it may be helpful to place some newspapers or paper towels underneath your dog’s feet before giving them their deuce de jour.
Step 4: Straddle your pet like they are about to give birth
After successfully finding an elevated platform for your dog to stand on, it is time for you to straddle them so that the lower half of their body is resting on the surface below. Be sure to have a firm grip on both of your dog’s back legs, so they cannot escape. This should allow you an optimal view of your doggo’s hindquarters.
Step 5: Dig your fingers into their butts
Be sure to have a firm grip on both of your dog’s back legs so that they cannot escape. This should allow you an optimal view of your doggo’s hindquarters. When you are in this position, it is time for you to dig your fingers deep into the anal glands located near their anus. How deeply you need to insert your digits will vary depending on the size of your canine companion.
For smaller dogs, you should be able to get away with sticking only one or two fingers in each gland. However, medium-sized and larger breeds may require multiple fingers not to miss any smelly gunk pockets. It is paramount that you note if there is any discharge within the anal glands. If your pet is producing a fair amount of foul-smelling release, their inside bits will likely require an extra thorough cleansing.
Step 6: Get ready for the show.
Once you have determined that there has been an obstruction in your dog’s anal glands and have spent some time digging around them with your fingers, it is essential to prepare yourself for what is about to come out from these glands. Though initially, this may seem like a pleasant experience for both you and your fur baby, what comes next will be anything but fun or enjoyable.
Step 7: The moment of truth
After spending at least a minute digging around each gland to ensure they are thoroughly cleaned out, it is now time to empty them. How you do this will depend on the size of your canine friend. For smaller dogs, it is acceptable to dump the contents from each paw-sized gland with a small spoon or another utensil that can easily fit in their behinds. Unfortunately, if your dog is of medium or larger size, you may have to get your hands dirty by squeezing out the excess smelly discharge yourself. How you go about doing this should be based on your comfort level and your dog’s demeanor during the process.
Step 8: Take care not to lose any fluids
No matter how tempting it may be for you to want to devour all of these delectable-smelling anal juices (no judgment here), the safest bet is to pour them out into a small bowl and set it aside. Of course, how long you should do this will vary depending on how much of the smelly fluid there is and if your dog has some sort of obstruction in their anal glands that requires further attention.
Step 9: Rubbing alcohol time
After letting the anal juices dry out, it is now time to add in some rubbing alcohol to disinfect any new smells or bacteria lingering around. Add a few drops of rubbing alcohol onto each gland and rub it around with your hand to get all areas of their derriere (no judgment here). How much rubbing alcohol you use will depend on how big of an area we are talking about. If you are dealing with a handful of anal glands, one or two drops should be enough to get the job done. How long you rub it in will also vary depending on the size of your dog and how many glands were affected by a potential blockage. This is a crucial step in how to give a dog a red rocket.
Step 10: Flush it out with warm water
Now that you have scrubbed all of the rubbing alcohol into your dog’s anal glands, it is time to flush. How much warm water you use will depend on how many glands were affected and what size they are compared to your four-legged friend. If you have a small dog with a few glands, simply pouring some lukewarm water from a small bowl into their backside will be enough to get the job done. However, if you have a giant dog with many glands affected by an obstruction, fill up a container of warm water and pour it over their butt until all traces of rubbing alcohol are gone. How long you rinse them will also vary depending on your dog’s size and how many glands were affected.
Step 11: Pat dry and move on with life
After you have rinsed out all of your dog’s anal glands with warm water, it is time for the final step: patting them dry. How you go about patting them down will vary depending on how wet they are after rinsing them out. For smaller dogs with a few glands affected, use a small piece of paper towel to pat their butts dry. However, if your dog has many glands that were affected or are very big, it may be best for you to use an old rag or another cloth item that is clean and absorbent. Again, how long you spend patting them dry will depend on how wet your dog’s butt is and how big of a surface area we are talking about.
So there you have it! How to give a dog a red rocket. It’s not as difficult as it may seem, and the payoff is worth it. Keep an eye on your pup during and after the experience, and make sure they stay safe and healthy. Have you given your dog a red rocket before?

So why use disk arrays on EC2 at all?
There are two main reasons:
- EBS volumes are currently limited to 1TB. If you need a volume larger than 1TB you’ll need to create a disk array to concatenate multiple EBS volumes.
- By using striping, you can leverage concurrency of IO operations (i.e. read and write) to increase performance. By creating striped disk arrays with IOPS EBS volumes, you can reach very high IO throughput for critical applications.
Understanding the Storage Stack
The storage stack contains different levels built on one another. Each level is oblivious of the implementation of the level beneath it. Here is a simplified description of the storage stack:
So, an application can open a file and write to it, but has no knowledge as to how the file system will represent that file on the volume. It has no idea what write size the file system is using: the application can write a 10-byte string to a file without knowing that the file system will initiate a write request of 4KB, because that is the minimal write size.
Underneath it, the file system may write a 4kb chunk of data, now knowing that the volume will use a 64kb block size for it. A volume doesn’t know if the disk underneath is a physical disk or a network-attached disk, nor should it care. When a volume spans multiple disks and the file system performs a write operation, the volume manager may split that write between multiple disks. In the case of EBS volumes, this means that a file can be spread across more than one EBS volume, and a single application write operation can end up as multiple write operations to multiple EBS volumes.
Challenges for Disk Array Backup
File-level backup solutions are not affected by disk arrays and volume managers. They work with the file system, just like the application itself. They don’t know and don’t care how the storage stack is implemented beneath them. Block-level backup solutions can often be more powerful in terms of backup and recovery times. However, with disk arrays and block-level backup solutions the situation is different: if you want to use EBS snapshots to backup a disk array, you face the challenge of keeping snapshots consistent. To make sure the backup of a disk array is consistent you need snapshots of all the underlying EBS volumes at the exact same time.
AWS APIs do not currently offer this functionality, meaning that you can’t take snapshots of multiple EBS volumes at the exact same point in time. However, if you take the snapshots with a small time gap between them, a number of problems can arise. For example, if an application is in the middle of a write operation, it is possible that that operation was writing to multiple EBS volumes. It’s possible that the write operation had already completed on one EBS volume, was in the middle of an operation on another, and didn’t even start on the third. The complete volume, assembled later from snapshots of the different EBS volumes, will be corrupted. In the next part of this post, Disk Array Backup on EC2 Part II: Consistency Issues, we will deal with different solutions to this problem, and how to implement them in different environments like Linux and Windows. | <urn:uuid:03948267-eaeb-454f-8ef9-81cccec00839> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://n2ws.com/blog/aws-ec2-backup/ec2-disk-array-backup-part1 | 2024-04-16T05:02:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.933176 | 686 |
