So now let's talk about product photos and videos and all of that so there's a great quote that says people on ly remember ten percent of what they hear twenty percent of what they read but about eighty percent of what they say see and do and the reason this is really important this is huge right? The difference between ten percent and eighty percent is huge but when people are clicking through your website they're interacting with you they're actually doing something when they click of to watch a video they're actually doing something and yes they're not necessarily you know, taking your product and looking at it and try and get on but they are still doing something and they're more likely to remember what they're doing if you're asking them to take some sort of action and there's another quote that I wanted to share with you this is by poll martin lester and he said something is happening where becoming a visually mediated society for many understanding of the world is being accompli... shed not through words but by reading images and I know we were even talking at lunch some of you were saying I'm a much more visual learner and I think a lot of us can relate to that and I know there's been a lot of studies done where they they tracked people's eyeballs to see if they go to an image or if they go to text first and almost always people go to the image first and then they go to the tech so having great professional looking images on your website is really, really key, but images that reflect your customers lifestyle again we're keeping them in mind yes it's highlighting your product but how does that product fit into their lifestyle? So I mentioned this before, but they're most likely to look at your photos before they actually read your product description because a photo is much easier to take in, right? If you have a ton of text on the side and a simple photo on this side, you're probably going to go there first and look at the photo before you actually start reading, but once they start reading their sort of committee anger, you've asked them to make commitments so you want them to do both because that's why it's really important to have the product description there too? Because they're more invested in you they've not only looked at the image but they've taken the time and made a conscious decision to keep reading and that is really, really important again you wantto get them to trust you you wantto build your credibility and all of these things sort of subconsciously do all of that and your product photography really and I have tested this I can tell you how many times by your products photography really can mean the difference between amazing business that you have and a business that is not really doing that well and your products are exactly the same, the whole look of your website can be exactly the same by you can lose a sale with your product photos, especially if you have higher and priced products and this is really, really important. So I wanted to show you two photos. So this is the photos of my soaps, and this is the first photo that I took before I got my packaging, so I'm still having my packaging made, but my website was ready, so I said, ok, I am ready to launch my web site. I have my product sitting right here. I can take some photos, I can put it up there, and I put up those individual photos for each of my product pages. And then I sent down my website. I know we'll do this sent it to my friends and family and send my shop is open for business here. And yes, I had some friends and family who bought, but they mostly bought because they knew me and they wanted to support me, and they were excited about my product, and then I took the same photo, and I send it to the media because I said, well, I don't want to wait another two weeks before my packaging comes in. I want to get my products and magazines right now, so I send this photo with my pitch, which we're going to talk about and they three. But I send this photo to hundreds of magazine editors along with my pitch as to why I thought my products were really great for their holiday gift guide and guess how many respond that I got back zero. So, yes, so then I said, ok, it was too early, I wasn't ready to launch, so then I had some professional photos taken and with my packaging, which makes a huge difference, I think packaging can be so underestimated, it's sort of an afterthought for a lot of us, but it really should be one of the most important things you pay attention to. But then I put all of these photos in each one of my product pages, and I send the same exact email literally, same exact text, same exact subject line, same exact body of my email, except the only difference was this product photos and again went out to the same list of magazine editors, and I kind of felt silly because I thought what I already emailed his people, we could go the same page, but it was just I did it wrong, so let me try again, so I emailed them with this photo and guess how many people wrote back a ton? So a ton of magazine editors roll back some of them right away and said, oh my god, I love your products! We would love to have them in our holiday gift guide, and by the time my whole holiday give guy campaign was done, I was able to get my products and more than fifty magazines, which is huge. So this is just really goes to show that your product photos are so important, but then again, so is your product description, so I don't want you to think that anyone think is more important, but if you're going to focus on something and that's going to be the only thing you focus on your product photos should be the main for the main thing to focus on because really can mean the difference between selling your products and having an awesome business and not so. I hope by showing you this that you like you couldn't see a huge difference, and if you're just to look at that photo by itself, it's not that bad, right? It's not like, ah, horrible photo, but it could be a lot better and then you put this alongside it and you couldn't really it really makes the second photo stand out and just look so much better and it reflects my branding and it it just really shows my products and showcases my product and I would pay eight dollars for that I don't know if I would pay eight dollars for the soap in that photo so this is how your product photos as part of your branding how you can charge higher prices and why you really should pay attention to that so I see a lot of you nodding your heads yes it's true and I've experimented so I know this works all right so let's talk about a few more tips when it comes to your product description so professional looking photos we talked about that I don't think I need to convince you that you need those but he also need to provide views from different angles especially if you have a product like a t shirt right? Someone should be wearing it from the front from the side from the back that way your audience when they're coming what if they're wondering I wonder how this looks from the back how long is it in the back? How is it going to look on the side so you want to make it easy for them to sort of imagine your product from every angle that they would if they were trying on your product or looking at your product in the store. So if you have a product that's package, maybe take a photo off the back of your packaging the side of your packaging, and I know a lot of shopping carts. Now let you put a time of photos up there and you can have too many photos. People little literally will sit there and look through every photo and the more photos they look at the more time they're investing in you on again, the more likely they are to buy because you're giving them more stuff to dio, and they've already subconsciously said yes to you by looking at the second photo in the third photo and the fourth photo. And so on cell I do, I think it's really important to provide more than just one photo and if you can, from every single angle of your product, and sometimes people have photos just off their products and sometimes it's a lifestyle photo, but I highly recommend doing both, so some people can relate more to just the product standing alone. Some people want to see themselves worrying it or using it, so if you can put it into setting that the prada, it should be used in again it. Makes their work easier and they consort of imagined themselves using your products or seeing if their lifestyle fits into the lifestyle that you're trying to share with them you might ask a couple questions we had a couple good questions one about product descriptions and one about photography and they kind of tying together how do you recommend? Well, here creative life we do have one or two photography classes in product photography I joke there's thousands of dr v classes way have product photography classes do you suggest the people out there go out there and shoot their own photography or hire professionals or does it depend on what level they're at? I think it's more important to have professional looking photos than it is to have a professional looking video so even though I think it's important to have both of them professional looking but I know with me again when I first launched my t shirt business it was just me taking photos of my t shirts like just laid on like a hardwood floor or on the grass and they were ok, but once I hired a professional photographer to do my photos again, my sales to cough and I could justify that larger price tag so I think just like we're talking about video getting someone to do it for free or small budget you can find someone to do your product photos professional looking product photos for a really small budget as well. So I think it is one of those things that you should invest in. If you're not a professional photographer, if you don't take the time to really learn, because you can learn how to take a really great product photo. So if you want to learn how to do that and do it yourself, go for it. If you feel like that's, not something you'd really want to focus on. Definitely invest in it. But it's something that you shouldn't boot strap on. Andreea Ayers is a successful entrepreneur who has started and sold three companies over the last five years and currently runs two.

Narrating valuations – an urban strategy: Values of urban heritage as planning strategy in Vejle, a Danish working-class neighbourhood Translation_fallback: part of: translation_fallback: 2:30 PM, lunes 29 ago 2022 (20 minutos) UQAM, pavillon J.-A. De Sève (DS) - DS-R515 In this paper, I will focus on the use of urban heritage as a planning tool in the transformation of an old working-class neighbourhood in the city of Vejle, Denmark and as tool in the dialogue with the inhabitants. The former working-class neighbourhood is from late 19th century and build in connection with the cotton spinning mills in the Danish town of Vejle. The paper initiated from recent change in the perspective on heritage - from static and monumental to active and dynamic – and an understanding of our social, structural and intangible heritage as crucial to ensure communities and social balance in our cities and urban neighbourhoods. Heritage is part of our self-understanding and perception of local communities (Bandarin & Oers 2015, Braae 2020, Jigyasu 2015). Thoughts, all in-line with the change of perspective on heritage, as created and understood relationally - as a continuum of time and space read in the physical objects (Fairclough 2009, Smith 2006, 2015). Together with the Municipality of Vejle and the Aarhus School of Architecture (AAA) I tested the active concept of heritage as a way of creating a common ground for the inhabitants and users of the neighbourhood. Both as part of the initial analysis and as part of the transformation, with the aim of creating a common ground and knowledge for further planning strategies. How to reconnect the social and functional mixed city? In the project we tested valuation (Boltanski & Thévenot 1999, Fink 1991, Heinich 2020) as a strategy to create narratives of the area - a common ground - for discussing principles for future transformation. The used method was explorative and based on mappings and valuations by locals and students of AAA. By comparative analysis of the different mappings and valuations, we formed different narratives of the relational contexts and multifaceted perspectives on the heritage of the neighbourhood, from both a local and an architectural perspective. By combining the different values we formed an approach based on the physical and the social (intangible), recognizing the dynamic relationship between objects and their broader environment and to the people who shape and use them. Theoretically, the approach takes its understanding in Actor-Network Theory (Latour 2005, Yaneva 2009), which are included throughout the article as a framework for understanding both the theoretical and methodological approach in the project. The aim of this paper is to explore potentials in the use of a democratic perspective – common narratives - on heritage in urban planning, initiated through mappings and valuations, ensuring a continuing narrative of the working-class neighbourhood. A continuum of time, space, and social diversity with a mix of functions.

Motion for stay dismissed. The applicants have not discharged their burden to show that they, or Indigenous children, will suffer irreparable harm if a stay of the Minister’s Directive and Designations is not granted. This motion is for a stay. These proceedings involve a long-standing jurisdictional dispute between two representative Indigenous groups in northwestern Ontario over who should be permitted to provide child and family services in the City and District of Thunder Bay. The Minister of Children, Community and Social Services [“Minister”] issued designations authorizing three children’s aid societies to provide the full range of child and family services in Thunder Bay. At the same time, the Minister issued a directive providing that: a) Dilico Anishinabek Family Care [“Dilico”] will provide services to all Indigenous children and families other than Indigenous children from First Nations affiliated with Tikinagan Child and Family Services; b) Tikinagan will provide services to children and families from Tikinagan-affiliated First Nations; and c) the Children’s Aid Society [“CAS”] of Thunder Bay will provide services to non-Indigenous children and families [“Directive and Designations”]. Dilico was incorporated in 1986 by the Robinson Superior Treaty First Nations and granted authority in 1994 by a group of 12 First Nations to provide child protection services to Indigenous children and families in Thunder Bay. Dilico has operated as a designated CAS since 1995 under what is now the Child, Youth and Family Services Act [“CYFSA”]. Initially, Dilico’s designation restricted it to exercising powers as a CAS only over those members of the Dilico-affiliated First Nations residing in the City and District of Thunder Bay, together with powers over all children residing on specified reserve lands. In 2012, Dilico entered into a memorandum of understanding [“MOU”] with the Thunder Bay CAS. Under the MOU, Dilico assumed child protection jurisdiction over not only Dilico-affiliated First Nation children, but all Indigenous children in Thunder Bay. Tikinagan Child and Family Services [“Tikinagan”] was incorporated in 1984 through the efforts of the 49 Chiefs of Nishnawbe Aski Nation which represents many First Nations across northwestern Ontario. In 1986, Tikinagan was given approved agency status by the Ministry and, in 1987, received its designation as a CAS. Tikinagan’s geographical area includes most of northwestern Ontario including parts of the District of Kenora and the northwest portion of the District of Thunder Bay. Tikinagan has the authority to offer the full range of child and family services within its territorial jurisdiction. Dilico and the Fort William First Nation brought applications for judicial review seeking to set aside the Directive and Designations of the Minister on various constitutional and administrative law grounds, which will be heard at a later date. The applicants’ also motioned for a stay of the Directive and Designations; below are the reasons for the dismissal. The court must consider three cumulative factors in determining whether to grant a stay: 1) whether there is a serious issue to be tried; 2) whether the moving party would suffer irreparable harm in the absence of a stay; and 3) whether the balance of convenience as between the parties favours granting the stay, in the sense that the harm that will be suffered by the moving party if the stay is not granted outweighs the harm that will be suffered by the responding party if it is (RJR-MacDonald Inc v Canada (AG), 1 SCR 311 [“RJR-MacDonald”]). Cases involving child welfare or child custody require a modification to this approach to the three-part RJR-MacDonald test. The overriding consideration in such cases is the best interests of the child. In this matter, the Minister, the Thunder Bay CAS and the two Indigenous CASs operate within a statutory framework which makes the best interests of the child paramount. Section 1(1) of the CYFSA provides that the “paramount purpose of this Act is to promote the best interests, protection and well-being of children.” The applicants have, asserted grounds for judicial review of the Directive and Designations which are not frivolous. There are serious issues which can only be resolved in a full hearing. The applicants have, therefore, satisfied the first aspect of the RJR MacDonald test. The Court concluded that the applicants have not discharged their burden to show that they, or Indigenous children, will suffer irreparable harm if a stay of the Directive and Designations is not granted. This conclusion is sufficient to dispose of the motion. However, there are other factors which tip the balance against a stay in any event. The public interest also includes a public interest in the legitimacy of public institutions. The public interest therefore includes a high level of respect for the decisions of the legislative and executive branches of government. The courts have limited institutional competence to interfere with those decisions. The courts have a supervisory role to play, but should be wary of usurping legislative and executive roles, particularly where they lie at the policy end of the decision-making spectrum (Hupacasath First Nation v British Columbia (Minister of Forests), 2005 BCSC 345; RJR-MacDonald). At the end of the day, the balance of convenience weighs in favour of refusing the stay and, pending the disposition of the applications for judicial review, advancing the goal of providing child welfare services to Tikinagan-affiliated children and their families in a culturally appropriate manner. The applicants’ onus of showing that the balance of convenience favours granting the stay has also not been discharged.
Poker is a card game where players try to make the most money by placing chips in a pot. Players voluntarily place chips into the pot, but can also choose to fold their hands and not compete for the pot. While there is some element of chance in poker, most outcomes are determined by probability and game theory. Here are a few tips for winning at poker: The purpose of poker is to win the pot, the sum total of the bets made by all players during a hand. Poker players bet with the hope of having the best hand, or convincing their opponents to fold. It is important to remember that the money you save is just as valuable as the money you win, so knowing when to fold is as important as knowing when to bet. A good poker hand is the best five-card combination. If you want to increase your odds of winning, consider investing in poker software. These programs store hand histories and can help you identify mistakes. Many of them can also give you hints on how to detect cheating and chip dumping. If you don’t want to spend a lot of money to play poker, try playing at a poker software website. Ignition Poker is the best choice for US players. If you’re playing from another country, try 888 Poker. In the game of poker, players are given a set of cards, which are called blinds. The blinds are the money put on the table before the cards are dealt. These are typically in chip form and rotate from player to player with each new deal. A player may call, check, or raise a bet, which indicates a willingness to match a raised amount. A check indicates that a player doesn’t wish to raise, and a raise means that a player wishes to increase the bet on the table. The betting rounds in poker continue until all players have accumulated enough chips to make a bet. If the player does not get called, the pot is awarded to the player with the highest hand. In some variants of the game, multiple rounds are played, and the winner is determined by the last remaining player with the highest poker hand. The final round of the game is called a “showdown,” and the highest-ranking hand wins the pot. While every casino has its own set of rules, there are some common elements in all poker games. A mandatory bet at the beginning of each hand is called an ante. Players then place their hole cards. The dealer then deals out the cards to the players in turn. The dealer shuffles the cards and deals them to the players one by one. The cards may be dealt face-up or face-down, depending on the variant. After the cards are dealt, each player has a chance to make a bet or raise their bet. The betting limit in poker varies from game to game. Generally, the limit is two, five or ten chips. The limit varies depending on the stage of the game. If the game is fixed-limit, the initial bettor has to bet X or less, and the raiser has to raise by the same amount. Pot-limit poker allows any amount up to the size of the pot. In this variant, a raiser can raise up to the full amount of the pot and the betting period ends after this amount.

Fatigue is a complex and multi-faceted phenomenon, defined as a feeling of physical tiredness and lack of energy. The prevalence of fatigue in Sjögren’s is approximately 65-70%, and often reported as the most debilitating symptom. Next to pain and dryness, fatigue is one of the most common complaints that Sjögren's patients would like to have improved. Here are some tips that can help you cope with your fatigue: - Work with your doctor to find a specific cause and treatment for your fatigue. The possibilities may include systemic inflammation, poor sleep, fibromyalgia, depression, hypothyroidism, muscle inflammation, or side effects of medications. - Know your limits and pace yourself. Plan to do no more than one activity on your bad days. Try to do more on your good days, but don’t overdo it! - Listen to your body and plan to take a 20-minute time-out every few hours to help you get through your day. Educate your friends and family about what you are going through and how the fatigue in Sjögren’s can come and go. - Develop a support system to help you with tasks. Ask friends and family members to be prepared to do one or two chores for you on your fatigue days. Give them specific instructions in advance and be reasonable with your expectations. - Get at least eight hours of sleep every night. If you wake up at night, plan extra time for sleep. - Get your body moving every day! This may help not only your fatigue but also your chronic pain, poor sleep and depression. Start with five minutes of aerobic exercise daily (e.g. walking, biking, running, elliptical, treadmill) and increase the duration by an additional two-to-three minutes each month up to a maximum of 25 minutes daily. If you have a heart or lung condition, consult your doctor first. - If you are still employed, ask your employer for accommodations because you have a medical condition. Try to work from home, if possible, to gain more flexibility with your work routine. - Identify the major stressors in your life and work with a mental health professional or your support system to minimize their impact. *tips courtesy of www.sjogrens.com

Andy and Pete Say… Once again it was our pleasure to join The Toy Insider team for the annual reveal of their choices for best toys for the holiday season lists. The HoliDAY of Play event highlights products in three categories, Hot 20 Toys, 12 Best Tech Toys, and 10 Best S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) Toys. You probably know “Toy Insider Mom” Laurie Schacht from her numerous television appearances demonstrating the operation of those products. The Toy Insider 2016 Catalog can be found nested inside the current issue of Family Circle Magazine, and you can get comprehensive details on each item at the Toy Insider Website link above. Things to Make and Do…. There is probably no greater satisfaction for youngsters, really for anyone, than building something that works. That appeared to be the major theme this year at The HoliDAY of Play event. As we’ve seen in the past, from Lincoln Logs to LEGOS, the honing of dexterity skills, deciphering of instructions, assimilation of concepts, peaking of imagination and recovering from missteps, all make the final product a very personal thrill. The accomplishment makes the object all the more valuable to the builder.
Popular Mechanics has an article comparing alternative fuels this month. They did a real, hands-on test driving cars coast to coast on gasoline, ethanol, methanol, biodiesal, compressed natural gas, electricity, and hydrogen fuel cell. Gasoline did better than you may think — it hovered in the middle of the pack at 33 mpg while electricity blew away the competition at 202 mpg. It’s not a perfect comparison since they had to use different cars for each fuel, but it’s about as close you can get to seeing how these alternatives fare in the real world. Surprisingly, PM didn’t test a car run on water, which I actually saw in the news a few weeks ago. Guess what station? They report, you decide whether they’re lying or confused (I’m guessing the latter in this case, since it’s an affiliate and not the evil empire’s home base.) Once you’re finished laughing at the above linked video, head on over to see what James Randi has to say about that load of crap.

If you wish to acquire organic traffic for your business’s website, then the main way you will be able to achieve that aim is by using SEO. SEO could be carried out by yourself, an employee, or by an SEO agency that you hire. Whichever option you choose, you must be aware of the process that needs to be followed from the outset, as to miss any step or do them out of order, can compromise the success of your SEO campaign. To make that process easier to understand, we have created a 7-stage SEO roadmap, which highlights the 7 main areas which must be actioned if your SEO campaign is to have any chance of succeeding. Establish Your Main Objectives Without a target to hit you will have no idea if your SEO is working so this is why the first stage of your journey is to set your main objectives. These will be influenced by the type and size of your business, and what your main priorities are. Your SEO campaign could be designed to generate leads, gain email subscribers, or simply generate free traffic to your website, and in each case will determine the specific tasks that need to be completed. Carry Out Keyword Research One of the best explanations we have heard for those who feel overwhelmed by starting an SEO campaign is simply to imagine it as dozens, or even hundreds, of mini-competitions with each competition revolving around an individual keyword. It is an excellent description because each keyword that you want to rank for is looked at in isolation by Google. So, your second task is to identify and then research the difficulty of each of the keywords you wish to compete for. Conduct Competitor Analysis Part of this stage will be done during your keyword research when you ascertain which keywords your main competitors are ranking for. In addition, other aspects of your competition you want to be assessing are where they get their backlinks from, what types of content they are publishing, and how well their website is designed with reference to user experience. Bear in mind, the goal is not to copy them but to advance upon and better what they are doing to rank well. Complete On-Page Optimisation One of the key parts of your SEO campaign, on-site optimisation is a mix of both technical SEO and creativity. The technical SEO covers specifics such as your website’s structure, title tags, header tags, and meta descriptions, all of which should be based upon the keyword research you did at stage #2. Where the creativity occurs is within the content that you publish on your website which should be informative, well-written, and easily readable whilst at the same time adding further relevancy of your website to your keywords. Optimise User Experience (UX) Several years ago, this stage would have barely got a mention in any SEO roadmap, however, thanks to the changes in how Google operates its search engine algorithms, it should now be front and centre of every SEO campaign. Providing excellent user experience, we would hope, is important to you anyway, however, by providing great UX, you are now looked upon more favourably by Google because UX is now one of their top priorities and this is reflected in the rankings they give to each website. Specific steps you can take towards improving your website’s UX are easy navigation, fast page load speeds, easy-to-read fonts, and ensuring all your content is top quality by being error-free and informative. If you have ever watched one of the many talent shows that appear on our TVs you will know they are based on votes from the public. Well, backlinks are an online version of voting but the main difference is that it is not always the website with the most backlinks that gets the highest rankings. Google also wants to see how authoritative the links are which means the more credibility and authority the websites have that you gain backlinks from, the better. Monitor, Evaluate, And Augment Hopefully, you are aware that SEO is an ongoing process rather than a single event. Reasons for this are that, in competitive markets, there will always be a business trying to beat your rankings, and there is the not insignificant matter of Google changing their ranking algorithms which can make SEO seem to be in an almost continuous state of flux. As such, you must monitor and analyse your rankings and where you can see opportunities for improvement, you must take action.

Recently our partner in Nairobi, Samuel Odhiambo of Asulma Centre developed in collaboration with Henk Blok from SCK a conical solar, which has a large cooking power and is relatively cheap. It consists of a piece of iron bent into a conical shape, which is covered at the inside by reflecting aluminium foil. Inside the conus there is a platform of blackened iron on which a blackened pan is placed. The sun rays reflect from the aluminium foil onto the pan and platform, which absorb the radiation and thus are heated. Putting a transparent sleeve or plastic bag around the pan yields higher maximum temperatures and thus faster cooking. When using a conical cooker with a diameter of 80 cm, 1 liter of water can be brought to boiling in about 20 minutes, and when baking bread, temperatures in excess of 150 °C can be reached. The vertically oriented version as shown below works fine when the sun is high (70 – 90 degrees) above the horizon, but often the sun will be at a lower angle, for instance, early in the morning and late in the afternoon around the equator, and all day away from the equator. Therefore, a version tilted over 20 degrees has been designed, which can be used also when the sun is at lower angles. This tilted version works down to sun angles as low as 40 degrees above the horizon. Therefore, this version is preferred, even for countries around the equator.

Businesses often have disputes that they wish to resolve quickly and quietly without the involvement of legal proceedings. While negotiation is usually the first port of call for resolving these disputes, they sometimes escalate into something that requires intervention by the courts. Business mediation is a process by which a neutral third party, called a mediator, assists parties in reaching a mutually acceptable resolution to a dispute. Mediation involves private sessions with both parties, in which they state their interests and positions, brainstorm settlement options and negotiate towards a resolution. It is generally a faster and more cost-effective alternative to litigation. Mediation is also confidential, so the outcome of a mediation will not be made public. Disputes can arise in the course of conducting business, for example where a customer or supplier is dissatisfied with a product or service, or where a contract is breached. As a result, relationships can be strained and the business’ reputation may be damaged. In these instances, mediation is a useful tool for mending these relationships and protecting the business’s reputation. As well as preserving relationships, mediation has the potential to offer financial benefits for a business. Litigation can be extremely expensive for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), even at the lower end of the spectrum, and can consume a significant amount of management time. A mediated resolution is typically reached much more quickly than a court case, so businesses can get back to running their business and concentrating on growth. A reputable business mediator should be able to understand the needs of both sides and find solutions that are creative and workable for both parties. This can help to mend ties and, in the ideal scenario, enable both parties to continue working together after a dispute is resolved. It is essential to find a mediator with appropriate training and experience in dealing with business disputes. This will include a thorough understanding of the commercial context within which a business operates, and the types of disputes that commonly arise in these areas. Choosing an experienced and skilled mediator will ensure the process is as efficient as possible, and that the best resolution is achieved in the shortest time frame. It is also important to consider whether the dispute involves a competitor or a customer. If the dispute is with a customer, a business mediator can assist in finding ways to settle the dispute that will not impact on the relationship going forward. This can be particularly important in retaining valuable customers who might otherwise choose to go with a competitor as a result of a bitter dispute between two businesses. Business mediators

Whereas evening time might not see a lot traction for offline shops or buying malls, e-commerce firms similar to Amazon, Flipkart and others are witnessing a brand new pattern the place a lot of the customers store throughout 8 pm to 11 pm. “There’s a phenomenon of ‘prime time’ that’s obvious in digital customers right this moment…This reinforces the buyer’s quest for comfort with anytime anyplace entry to the buying cart,” Kunal Gupta, Head E-Commerce, Nielsen, South Asia stated in an announcement early this week. In response to Nielsen’s findings, 23% of gross sales occur between 8 pm-11 pm and a 3rd of the gross sales come by the course of the evening. Peaking at round 11 pm, the gross sales then regularly fall until 5 am. Will solely store throughout gross sales One other evolving shopper pattern in e-commerce is customers withholding their purchases until the low cost season, which in India coincided with the festive season beginning Navratri. Gross sales for a lot of e-tailers spiked on 27 September 2019 as many on-line buying platforms together with Flipkart, Amazon, Nykaa and so forth introduced their flagship gross sales. Previous to the festive season, from Independence Day sale to Diwali gross sales, on-line buying remained largely muted as customers held again purchases within the wait of low cost days, Nielsen stated. “The longer the hole the extra is the offtake. Stark leap and drop in gross sales on the beginning and finish dates,” the report added. Round 43% of festive gross sales occurred within the first week 27 Sep-5 October. The gross sales regularly depleted with 24% within the second week and 17% within the third week ending roughly 26 October. In the meantime, the rising web penetration has spelt success for e-commerce platforms as one in each two web shoppers is a first-time purchaser on these platforms. Gross sales are largely pushed by FMCG gadgets similar to shampoo, cosmetics, meals and drinks by way of quantity of orders and by cell phones by way of the worth of orders.

An immaculate, boxed example of the glorious Hudson Dual Broadcast Class-A Germanium Preamp Pedal. Easily one of the coolest dirt boxes on the market, a real holy grail pedal. We’ve taken the great sound of the Broadcast and added the extra flexibility of footswitchable gain modes and separate level controls – for those who like to switch gain modes on the fly. Finished in battleship grey and with dark red Marconi style knobs. We have made the gain mode (LOW or HIGH) select-able via the right hand foot switch (the green LED indicates when the pedal is in HIGH gain mode). Each mode its own LEVEL control and in addition, the pedal has two internal trimmers that allow you to fine tune the amount of gain each mode has. The Broadcast is a transformer coupled, discrete Class-A germanium pre-amplifier based on the classic broadcast consoles of the 1960s. In the low-gain setting, the Broadcast can cover everything from sparkling clean boost through to transparent overdrive, all with a healthy dose of volume available to push your amp. The Broadcast features a specially selected Triad steel-core transformer and a Germanium transistor. Advancing the gain on the Broadcast starts to saturate the transformer and the pedal’s discrete circuitry, giving rise to a gentle and dynamic compression coupled with subtle thickening of the mid-range. With the gain switch in the high setting and the trim control wound up, the Broadcast starts to deliver heavier distorted sounds with a warm and fuzzy edge to them. The Broadcast covers a wide range of driven and distorted tones whilst remaining dynamic, responding well to pick attack and the subtle nuances of every player. - Selected Germanium and Silicon transistors - TRIAD Magnetics steel-core transformer - BI Technologies potentiometers - Lumberg jack sockets (rated for >5000 cycles) - Heavy duty Alpha foot switches (rated for >30,000 cycles) - Left Footswitch – Bypasses the pedal (red LED indicates the pedal is active) - Right Footswitch – Toggles between LOW and HIGH gain modes (green LED indicates HIGH gain mode is selected) - Level Low – Controls the volume of the pedal in LOW gain mode - Level High – Controls the volume of the pedal in HIGH gain mode - Gain Trim – Controls the gain level (both in LOW and HIGH gain modes) of the Broadcast (at higher settings the high-end of the signal is gently rolled off) - Low Cut – Attenuates the low-end of the Broadcast (since this control lies at the front end of the Broadcast’s circuitry, it is interactive with the gain controls) - Internal Trimmers – Sets the total amount of gain available in each mode. - DC Socket – The Broadcast requires a DC power supply unit (PSU) and can run at voltages between 9v and 24v; running the Broadcast at 18v or 24v gives it more headroom, output level and clarity. This is great for use with bass or when using the Broadcast as a clean pre-amp boost. - The Broadcast requires a DC power supply unit (PSU). Please ensure your PSU can supply between 9v and 24v, a minimum current of 20mA and has a 2.1mm negative centre barrel plug. Any other type may damage your pedal. If you plan on sharing the same PSU with other pedals, we recommend using a PSU with isolated outputs, e.g. Voodoo Labs ISO-5 / Pedal Power 2 Plus. - Current Draw – 20mA

Gravenhurst council received an update on the Tourism Destination Plan from Amy Taylor, Manager of Economic Development, at the June 20 Committee of the Whole meeting. The plan approved in May 2021 details several short and medium-term items for staff to implement. Taylor said that the tourism micro-site is “first and foremost, the one with the biggest bang that we have created out of the tourism plan so far. The tourism micro-site is a website created during 2020, featuring experiences, accommodation, tastes and planning tools, all based on non-membership, which means if you are a business in Gravenhurst and you are in the tourism industry, we support you.” The site can be found at discovergravenhurst.com and discovergravenhurst.ca or on the Town’s gravenhust.ca website under ‘Visit.’ There is also an itinerary-building tool now, which allows visitors to put together and print out a trip based on their interests. The Municipal Accommodation Tax (MAT) was the second large item recently implemented. Taylor said it was going well so far, “we are getting dollars in and seeing incremental growth. Council approved the MAT in August 2022 and it took effect on Jan. 31, 2023 at a rate of 4%. This tax applies to all hotels, motels, bed & breakfasts, licensed short-term rentals, and roofed accommodations offering less than 30-day continuous stays. A trial promotion was also launched during the pandemic when people were limited in activities. They worked with the Town’s Infrastructure staff to upgrade signage, Google Maps and digital mapping online for those heading out on the trails. A social media and Google ad campaign was started as well, which saw “good uptake, especially during the pandemic, but we continue to see additional trails being used. Our approach was to not hammer away at the most popular trails but to try to move people around to experience different options in Gravenhurst,” explained Taylor. She said some of the lesser-known trails such as Cooper’s Falls, Old Stone Trail and Devil’s Gap have seen an increase in use. Taylor told council that some new literature has been created. A Wharf brochure has been updated and distributed and a municipal services map was designed, listing parks, boat launches and attractions. It also includes a ward map and a rural map. The “Taste of Gravenhurst” dining guide has been re-printed and the online version updated and includes fast food, fine dining, food trucks, coffee shops and specialty dining. There is no charge for businesses to be included and the guide is free. Taylor said the “appetite for these guides is there,” noting 6,000 were printed and in 3.5 months and half are already gone. Taylor said that the pop-up shops at the Wharf have been a hit and that local merchants are “thrilled.” A solar-powered lighthouse and four Muskoka chairs have been added and a bike repair station, dog water dish and some landscaping are still to come. Projects that the group will be working on further down the road include programming to promote cycling tourism, putting up wayfinding signage, developing exit surveys for visitors and receiving a “pet-friendly” designation. Lastly, Taylor said the committee is looking ahead to the Ontario Heritage Conference that Gravenhurst is hosting next year. They will be holding the 2024 Ontario Heritage Conference Community Brainstorming Session on July 11 at 3:00 p.m., for past and present Heritage Committee members and anyone who is “heritage-inclined.” Don’t miss out on Doppler!

I believe a young black man was in an elevator with an If I Am Drunk It Is My Camping Friends 4 Fault Shirt white woman and she said he allegedly raped her. This is what began the massacre. He tripped going into the elevator with a white girl and grabbed her arm, she screamed. The rest is history. I didn’t learn about it until I took an African American history course in college with a black professor. From Jim Crow to Tulsa to redlining to the industrial prison complex. There has never been a time in American history that black people cannot be enslaved. How is it that I’m 36, and despite black history, the month is a thing the whole time I was growing up? If I Am Drunk It Is My Camping Friends 4 Fault Shirt, Tank Top, V-neck, Sweatshirt, And Hoodie I had never heard of this If I Am Drunk It Is My Camping Friends 4 Fault Shirt part of history until HBO commissioned a comic-book spin-off? This really should have been in the curriculum, to begin with. I believe Russell Westbrook is working on the production of some type of documentary about it. Definitely a good way of raising awareness here. John Oliver’s show last night was about how US history doesn’t deal with its issues. He talks about Tulsa a few times, but around 12 minutes in there’s a clip of a black guy from Tulsa talking about learning about Black Wall Street for the first time when he went away to college.

Soybean Research Principal Investigator Profile – Adriana Murillo-Williams Adriana Murillo-Williams, Agronomy Extension Educator, Penn State Extension Why did you decide to pursue a career that includes soybean research? I have loved plants since I was a child in Costa Rica, influenced in part by my grandma and my dad. I chose to study agronomy and found that I really liked plant pathology. While earning master’s and doctorate degrees at Iowa State University, I fell in love with the Midwestern landscape and soybeans. Then, I wanted to gain extension experience, which grew my desire to help farmers. What research topic have you completed in the past or are working on now that could have or has had the most significant impact on soybean production? I know how harmful soybean cyst nematodes are to soybeans, based on what I learned while studying in Iowa. Nationally, SCN is the top yield-robbing pathogen in soybeans. I want to know where SCN is in Pennsylvania and raise awareness so farmers can protect their soybean yields. How has the soybean checkoff enhanced your ability to find answers to production problems for farmers? The checkoff provides funding for some of my work, and I am forever thankful for that funding and trust. This support allows me to find answers to questions important to soybean production. Within your area of expertise, what are the top two or three general recommendations you would offer farmers to improve their management practices? - Find out what is in your fields. Farmers need to know if they have SCN, and soil tests will provide that information. - Rotate fields between soybeans and non-host crops. And with soybeans, rotate sources of genetic SCN resistance. Within your area of expertise, what do you consider to be critical soybean research needs that can impact the profitability of famers in the future? Once SCN has been identified in a field, we need to show the impact of SCN management practices. Farmers need to learn to use all available tools and understand the value of proactively managing SCN. Research will help farmers see the difference between resistant and susceptible soybean varieties and the usefulness of seed-applied nematicides. We also need to better understand the role of cover crops in SCN management, especially because adoption of cover crops has been so successful in Pennsylvania. Research will help develop SCN and cover crop management recommendations specific to Pennsylvania.
Authors: Issa Kaboré, Orokia Sory, Charlemagne Tapsoba, Yamba Kafando, Joël Arthur Kiendrébéogo Following the adoption of decentralization as the preferred method of territorial administration under the Constitution of 2nd June 1991, Burkina Faso introduced the General Code of Territorial Authorities in 2004, which defines eleven (11) areas of authority to be transferred to territorial authorities. With regard to the health sector, the transfer took place in 2010 and covers two areas of authority: (i) Construction, standardization and rehabilitation of basic health facilities; (ii) Coverage of recurrent costs of basic health facilities, including (a) Fuel for medical evacuations, (ii) Gas for the cold chain, (iii) Other sources of energy, (iv) Office supplies, (v) Maintenance equipment and products, (vi) Protective equipment, (vii) Small medical and technical equipment, (viii) Specific printed material, (ix) Medicines and medical consumables, (x) Vehicle maintenance, (xi) Maintenance and repair of buildings. From 2010 to 2020, a total sum of 49,796,980,605 CFA francs (about US$90 million) has been transferred to local authorities to fund these two areas of responsibility. Between 2017 and 2020, the local authorities used transferred resources to build and develop infrastructures, including 63 health centres, 167 maternity units, 328 housing units, 338 latrines, 119 boreholes, 127 pharmaceutical depots and 191 incinerators, all at a cost of 13 528 920 897 CFA francs (about US$24 million). At the same time, many basic health facilities were upgraded. A decade after the effective transfer of powers and resources by the Ministry of Health to local authorities, this report takes stock of the achievements and difficulties in the implementation of the transfer of powers and identifies prospects for improving the process. Noble goals at the beginning… The objective of the transfer of authority and resources from the Ministry of Health to local and regional authorities is to provide accessible health services that are adapted to the needs of the local population. This measure is intended to give local elected leaders, who are in direct contact with the community, the opportunity to effectively identify the priority health infrastructure and equipment needs of their localities, to enable fair and effective investment of the allocated resources. The measure also makes it possible to evaluate in real time the needs of health facilities in terms of equipment and consumables and to purchase them in order to avoid stock-outs that could compromise the quality of care offered to the people. The transfer of authority to local and regional authorities also aims at increasing people’s participation in decisions affecting their health and reducing barriers in the implementation of certain investments. Indeed, it is not uncommon for local communities to contest the choice of a site for the construction of a health facility, or to refuse to go to a health facility because they were not involved in the choice of the site, which is sometimes a sacred site. Since the local elected leaders come from the same area and have a good understanding of the socio-cultural realities at the community level, it is possible to anticipate these contestations and therefore find a way of reducing their occurrence. Similarly, involving the public in the implementation would secure the investments more and encourage good will to support community-based actions. Such support could, for example, take the form of community work, in-kind or cash contributions for the construction of infrastructure and or for the acquisition of medical equipment and consumables. For example, in several localities within the country, local communities are constructing and equipping health facilities in support of local authorities. In addition, the resources transferred to local and regional authorities should be subject to rigorous monitoring and control to ensure compliance with procurement standards for construction and procurement of equipment, thus reducing waste of resources and preventing fraud and corruption. Indeed, the administrative, economic and financial accountability of local elected leaders is cited as a guiding principle of the national decentralization policy. … but difficulties in strategic purchasing implementation Frequent delays in the implementation of activities due to poor knowledge of public expenditure procedures and poor project management skills. In reality, funds often arrive late to local authorities, leading to failure to meet the deadlines set in the implementation of the health component of their action plans and late allocation of resources to health facilities. In fact, the transfer of authority to local authorities has not always been accompanied by the provision of qualified human resources or capacity building of stakeholders for public expenditure procedures and/or project management. This has led to delays in procurement procedures and purchase of insufficient and/or substandard equipment and consumables, as well as construction of infrastructure that does not meet minimum standards. This in turn results in poor availability and quality of services offered to the people. Lack of flexibility in the budget lines. Credit transfers meant for health facilities reach local and regional authorities through a passive mechanism. In fact, these credits arrive in form of predefined budget lines that are rigid and can be redirected towards the priority needs of the health facilities. In reality, the amounts of these credits are fixed by an inter-ministerial decree of the ministries in charge of the economy and finance, territorial administration and decentralization, and health. The criteria for distributing these credits are not spelled out, but all health facilities located in urban areas receive the same amount, as do all health facilities located in rural areas. Thus, the allocation of resources does not take into account the performance of health facilities, but only their location in urban or rural areas, which could be equated with the search for equity. Low level of involvement of all stakeholders in the process, leading to problems of accountability. There is often a low level of involvement of local health players in the management of the transferred funds e.g. the health facilities are unable to express their needs and the management teams of the health districts have little say in the project management of activities relating to the transferred resources (e.g. purchasing of equipment, sites for construction of new health facilities, priority investments). Moreover, local civil society is not always sufficiently equipped to ensure monitoring of the use of allocated resources by citizens, which could lead to irregularities in the management of these resources. Some suggestions for strengthening transferred credits in terms of strategic purchasing In view of the difficulties associated with the exercise of the functions transferred to local and regional authorities, appropriate solutions must be found to address this problem, with a view to improving the performance of healthcare providers and the efficiency of the transfer policy. With regard to the performance of providers, the Ministry of Health could develop performance criteria for the allocation of resources to health facilities in conjunction with local authorities. This would make it possible to reward the best health facilities and perhaps encourage some competition between providers. These performance criteria could be based, for example, on the quality and quantity of services provided such as immunization, antenatal consultations and/or family planning. This continuous focus on performance would encourage providers to make greater efforts to provide quality care to the public. To improve the efficiency of the transferred funds, strategies to strengthen the stakeholders’ capacities, more flexible payment modalities that take into account the performance of health facilities, and better involvement of key stakeholders would ensure diligent processing, better allocation and optimal management of resources. This would ensure that goods and services purchased for the benefit of health facilities meet their standards and real needs, and that efficiency gains are achieved through improved productivity.

The Air Force is making its own Special Operations Forces more independent by creating a Special Reconnaissance (SR) career field. The Air Force will be changing the Special Operations Weather Technician (SOWT) to SR. According to the Air Force’s afspecialwarfare.com, the new SR operational role: Special Reconnaissance (SR) operators will be operating under the AFSOC team ‘Access’ packages. These teams include Combat Controllers and Pararescuemen whose purpose is to survey and prepare access for aircraft. These “left of bang” type of areas include setting up and securing aircraft landing zones, drop zones and assault zones, among other special interest areas. SR will continue to provide short term weather forecasting to assist in operational planning. But the weather component is expected to move from a core to a subset skill as SOWT transitions to SR. They will utilize advanced recon techniques such as cyber collecting for air and ground assets. These operators will specialize in ground-based ISR meshed with Air, Space and Cyber capabilities. In a major development, the Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) changed the Special Operations Weather Technician (SOWT) career field to Special Reconnaissance (SR). The Air Force has debated the future of its battlefield airmen for some time. SOWTs were seen as unnecessary with the advent of weather forecasting technology. Earlier in 2018, the service released a memorandum describing the current challenges and explored possible improvement opportunities to become more effective. “Bottom line, a fully leveraged Air Force ground maneuver element eliminates the need to ask another service to do what the Air Force should do ourselves,” the memo states. This conclusion indicates a desire for more independence. The document was signed by the Air Force’s Vice Chief of Staff, Gen. Stephen Wilson. As of now, the battlefield airmen designation includes: Combat Controllers (CCT) Tactical Air Control Party (TACP), which are considered Special Operations The Survival Escape Resistance and Evasion and Explosive Ordinance Disposal career fields also fall under the battlefield airmen designation but are considered combat support and not SOF. The SR pipeline is very similar to PJ and CCT. Candidates for all three career fields attend the same selection and assessment program at Lackland Air Force Base. Thereafter, they progress through a succession of schools: Pre-Dive and Dive Military Free Fall Advanced Skills Training From the available information, it appears the main mission set of the SR field is to provide environmental reconnaissance capabilities to commanders. SR operators would also specialize in ground Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance missions. Additionally, they’re still capable of combat weather forecasting operations. Career field changes are expected to begin in April. The financial incentive for applicants is strong, with a $10,000 signing bonus. The AFSOC even established the 330th Recruiting Squadron to attract more applicants and ensure they’re suitably prepared for the rigorous selection programs. Master Sgt. Michael Williams, who’s a flight chief with the 330th Squadron, said “we’re just trying to be realistic with them from the very beginning. Our candidates, whenever we bring them into our program…we can usually have them ready, passing the physical fitness standards, depending on their mental capacity…and resiliency, in about three-to-four months.” To read the entire article from Newsrep, click here: Photo: Soldiers with 2-20th Special Forces Group (Airborne) as well as other members of the special operations community prepare to conduct a mock-nighttime assault on the Grenada Dam in Grenada, Mississippi January 20, 2019.

While going to work doesn’t have to mean checking your “real self” at the door, making work “fun” may sound like an oxymoron which is not a derogatory term for the geek down the hall. But work does need to be enjoyable if people are going to give it their best effort. And true fun springs from the same well of ingenuity where all great ideas originate. For instance, a staff member at one innovative event center sent a birthday singing telegram to a co-worker. The telegram arrived via a gorilla, on a sweltering summer day. This was funny enough, but the improvised song the gorilla warbled sent everyone within earshot into gales of laughter. The entire “event” took only minutes, and brightened everybody’s day and week. Even better, since the gorilla was in costume, the XSORB Biohazard Response Kit with Facemask and Gloves remained safely tucked away, no spill clean up required. Fun can also take the form of friendly competition, as in sports. Two chefs in a busy caf_ can spontaneously decide to see who can flip the most flapjacks; two waitstaff can see who can get to new customers’ tables the fastest (they can also spice this up la the singing telegram example, by, say, waltzing over to the tableassuming their shoes and the seating arrangement safely allow for such fancy “food”work!) Of course, if restaurant workers are going to become this creative, it behooves the establishment to have an XSORB Spill Program in place. Smart spill clean up is a small price to pay (literally!) for happier employees. The point is that employees be permitted to generate and implement fun ideas without management interference. As long as what people come up with is safe, above-board, and harms no one, let your team enjoy themselves. The benefits of all this lightheartedness? Employees who strengthen their “amuse system” at work are likely to: - be more productive - take fewer sick days - have higher morale - stay with the company longer.

The words consciousness and spirit are often interchangeable, especially when we discuss the question of whether or not there is some part of us which will exist after the death of our physical being. Like many other Seekers before me, I have thought long and hard about this particular question, and although I haven’t come up with any hard-and-fast answers (the fact is that we won’t know for sure until we get there), I have come up with a way of viewing my own consciousness or spirit which satisfies both my desire to be rational and my desire to pay attention to my intuition. Those who view man as a purely physical machine tend to think of consciousness as something that is a by-product of the physical brain. With that model, the death of the physical brain naturally means the end of consciousness, and the oft-reported ‘light show’ of the near-death experience is regarded as little more than the brain being flooded with chemicals to make the dying process less painful or frightening. Those who view man as a spiritual being tend to think of the consciousness as a continuous stream of awareness which passes from lifetime to lifetime, with perhaps some periods of limbo in between. My own view is a little different, but I think that it meshes well with both perspectives. Imagine that you want to build a simple AM transistor radio. To do that, you would need to obtain various electronic components, such as transistors, capacitors, resistors, a battery and the all-important ferrite rod. Lay all of those components down on a table and you would have everything you need for a potential radio, but you wouldn’t hear a thing. If you were to assemble those components in a certain way then you would have an actual radio which can be switched on and tuned in. The radio would now make a sound because it is capable of receiving radio signals – which are ever-present in the environment – and play the resulting broadcast for all to hear. Having built a functional radio, you could now disassemble it, either by removing the components one by one, or by smashing it with a hammer. This would change the configuration of the components so that they could no longer operate together as a radio, and your machine would immediately cease to make any sound. The broadcast would fall silent. Now, where is the broadcast that you listened to earlier? You can’t hear it, but it hasn’t exactly ceased to exist, because it is still being transmitted, all around you. All that has happened is that the machine which you used to receive and play the broadcast is no longer functional. I think of consciousness as being much the same as the radio broadcast, and of the physical body as being analogous to the radio itself. Consciousness, then, is not something which arises from the physical body, but rather, it is something which is expressed through the physical body. We tend to think of ourselves as having very different levels of consciousness or spiritual development because we all behave in very different ways, but that could simply be due to the fact that we are all unique physical machines. Listen to a particular radio broadcast on a cheap transistor radio and the quality won’t be anything like as good as it would be on an high-end system. The broadcast itself, however, would be the same. My notion, then, is that there is just one signal being broadcast throughout the whole universe, meaning that there is just one consciousness. You are that one consciousness, which is currently being animated through your physical being. When your physical body dies, the broadcast being expressed through it will seem – to others – to fall silent, but it will continue forever, and will express itself in many other ways, through many other physical bodies. To put all of this into a more ‘spiritual’ context, you are not really an individual spirit, but rather, you are an individual expression of the one Spirit, or what many traditions call God or Infinite Intelligence, and so is everyone else. Look at your neighbours, your spouse, your parents, your children, you co-workers, your pets and any other living being, and you will see yourself – the one Spirit – being expressed in many different ways. This is why so many teachers have said that ‘we are all one’ and that we should love our neighbours as we love ourselves, and be careful to treat others as we would like to be treated. Every single living thing on the planet is an expression of the one Spirit. Those individual expressions may come and go, but you – the Spirit itself – will continue for eternity.

Man United will sign a striker in 2024 and one of the names on their list heading into the January transfer window was Stuttgart star Serhou Guirassy. The 27-year-old has taken German football by storm this season, scoring 19 goals and providing two assists across the 16 matches he has played in. The Guinea international also had a very attractive €17.5m release clause in his contract but that has now expired as of mid-January. According to Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg, Guirassy has made the decision to stay in Stuttgart for the remainder of the campaign, despite more English clubs enquiring about him over the last few days. ?? If nothing extraordinary happens with other clubs until Deadline Day (Injuries etc. and unexpected crazy offers etc.) then this decision is… pic.twitter.com/pJS2mvkE5k — Florian Plettenberg (@Plettigoal) January 17, 2024 Interest in Guirassy will likely return during the summer, especially if the striker continues to score goals in the Bundesliga. Man United will very likely address their striker position then and it remains to be seen if the Stuttgart star remains an option for Erik ten Hag, following their interest ahead of the January window. The Red Devils could make a move for a bigger name, such as Victor Osimhen or even Ivan Toney, but with Rasmus Hojlund being the future of the Manchester club, Guirassy may be a good option to support the Danish youngster.
With the addition of left-back Tyrell Malacia in the summer transfer window, the Red Devils are currently actively pursuing new players. Additionally, they are making progress in their pursuit of Christian Eriksen after the two parties verbally agreed on something. Antony is another player who has been linked with a reunion with Erik ten Hag after scoring 22 goals and providing 20 assists in his 78 Ajax appearances. “Let’s see if they can find a solution for a number nine or if they can go for Antony. Antony has gone from strength to strength under Ten Hag and now holds a career-high £31.5m Transfermarkt valuation. He’s still only 22 years of age, so you’d like to think that he could improve on his already impressive game. Ten Hag currently does not have a senior star right-winger to select from, so bringing Antony to Old Trafford would make sense. Hopefully, United’s good transfer progress will continue in the following weeks, and it appears that United would like Antony to be their big attacking arrival.

Jaguars Wordmark Logo The Jacksonville Jaguars have been a staple of the NFL since their inception in 1995. The team has had several logo designs over the years, but one thing that has remained constant is their wordmark logo. This iconic design features an italicized font with a jaguar head silhouette at the end of each letter. The original version of this logo was created by artist Christopher Creamer and was unveiled when the team began to play in 1995. It featured a bold black font with white trim and small details such as stars within each letter to give it some extra flair. Over time, minor changes were made to this design, including changing from black to teal for all letters except for “J,” which remained black, and adding grey shading behind certain letters like “A” or “S” for added depth perception. Although slight variations may exist due to jersey updates or special occasions (like Color Rush games), this classic wordmark remained unchanged from its original form almost 25 years ago. Fans around Jacksonville still proudly wear apparel featuring this timeless emblem, signifying their love for football and loyalty towards something more than just another professional sports franchise- the spirit of community found within Duval County itself!

The polling process in the Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) elections was held today but the sealed ballot boxes have been kept in the government treasury until the High Court gives a further directive. Former RCA president, Lalit Modi’s son Ruchir, is fighting against senior Congress leader CP Joshi, who was is a former president. The polling for six posts as per the Lodha Committee recommendations did not take much time as there are only 33 district cricket associations who have the voting right in accord with the Sports Act prevailing in the state. While both, the Joshi faction and Modi Group claimed victory, the court order dampened the spirits of supporters and ordered the ballot boxes to be sealed until further notice. There was drama earlier on, when the ombudsman appointed for the elections, Justice Gyan Sudha Mishra, requested the High Court to keep the ballot boxes in its custody.The court refused to do so and asked the Ombudsman herself to look after the security of boxes. It was learned that the boxes were later taken to the government treasury. Both groups may move court against the decision to keep the ballot boxes in the government treasury. - Inter Miami vs LA Galaxy LIVE score, MLS updates: Second half begins; LA 0-0 MIA - Serie A: Milan loses ground in title race with home draw against Atalanta - Serie A: Inter cruises to 4-0 win at Lecce with Martinez double - Ranji Trophy Live Score Quarterfinal Day 4 updates: Andhra on track for win vs MP; Mumbai takes lead vs Baroda - India vs England Live Score, 4th Test: IND 40/0, needs 152 runs more to take unassailable series lead

YouTubers have been around for over a decade now, and in that time, they’ve managed to amass a vast fortune. The top earners make millions of dollars per year, but even those at the bottom of the totem pole can still earn a decent living. So, how much does a YouTuber with 100,000 subscribers in the Philippines make? Let’s find out. YouTube is a video sharing website where users can upload, view, and share videos. The site was founded in 2005 and has since become one of the most popular websites on the internet. YouTube is now the second largest search engine after Google. The vast majority of YouTubers earn their money through advertising revenue. YouTube offers two types of ads: pre-roll ads that play before the video starts and display ads that appear on the side of the screen while the video is playing. YouTubers receive a cut of the ad revenue based on how many views their videos get. According to Social Blade, a YouTuber with 100,000 subscribers can expect to earn anywhere from $500 to $5,000 per month from advertising revenue alone. That’s a pretty wide range, but it all depends on factors like video length, number of views, and advertiser interest. In addition to advertising revenue, many YouTubers also earn money through sponsorships and product placements. Sponsorships are basically when a brand pays a YouTuber to promote their product or service in a video. Product placements are similar except that instead of being paid by the brand, the YouTuber gets to keep the product they’re promoting. So there you have it! A YouTuber with 100,000 subscribers in the Philippines can expect to earn anywhere from $500 to $5,000 per month from advertising revenue alone. And that’s not even taking into account sponsorships and product placements! If you’re thinking about becoming a YouTuber yourself, there’s never been a better time to start than now. Who knows? With enough hard work and dedication, you could one day find yourself among the top earners!

With the increasing demand for electronic devices and electric vehicles throughout the world, more and more manufacturers are running into the same problem: the supply of components, especially batteries, is not keeping up with the massive demand. To meet overall demand in time, additional facilities for production of lithium-ion batteries should be built in the short-term. Battery cell production is a mission critical challenge because the materials used in lithium-ion batteries react heavily with humidity. For that reason, we introduced DryCell: a mobile, container-based Plug&Play dryroom solution for R&D environments, in which the proof-of-concept of battery development can be determined before they go into final production. The production of lithium-ion batteries requires extremely low humidity conditions. Lithium reacts with water vapour and inaccurate humidity control in a battery production area can have severe consequences for operators and their environment, as well as leading to a drop in product quality. The basic principle of dryroom technology is to control the humidity level in a room or chamber by removing moisture from the air. This is typically achieved by using desiccants, which are materials that have a high affinity for water molecules and can effectively absorb moisture from the air. In a typical dryroom, the air is circulated through a series of filters and desiccant beds, which remove any contaminants and moisture from the air. The humidity level is monitored and controlled using sensors and feedback loops, which adjust the operation of the desiccant beds and other equipment as needed to maintain the desired humidity level. In some cases, dryrooms are also being used by pharmaceutical companies, automotives, special (safety) glass manufacturers, semiconductors, energy storage and selective other industries which have very low dew point requirements for their hygroscopic material processing and storage. Due to the extreme requirement for moisture control, the energy required for this part of the manufacturing process is significant and therefore has a substantial impact on the profitability of any battery manufacturing operation. Many companies are therefore switching to a controlled environment with a dew point of -40°C, which consumes a lot less energy than dryrooms with dew points of -80°C to -100°C. With DryCell, we have developed a unique modular and pre-engineered dryroom/cleanroom combination that allows us to provide manufacturers with a conditioned test facility at very short notice. As standard, this dryroom is supplied in cleanliness classification ISO8, maintaining a dew point of -40°C continuously. But it is also possible to upgrade this solution to classification ISO7 or a dew point of -60°C. The DryCell can be supplied as both an indoor and outdoor solution. Due to the high degree of pre-engineering of prefabricated building blocks, we can deliver this solution in just a few weeks. Legolisation means standardisation. Standardisation causes a shift in production. Work is carried out in conditioned spaces such as factory halls. our cleanrooms are manufactured partly or entirely off-site, which means huge savings on transport costs and reduction of inconvenience on-site
Types of palliative care Understand the difference between palliative care and end of life care and types of palliative care treatments and support available. What does palliative care mean? Palliative care is specialised medical care that aims to improve the quality of life for someone living with a life-limiting illness or chronic condition. It is typically assumed to mean end-of-life care, especially pain relief, for a person who is in the process of dying or rapidly approaching death. And while it is certainly used in those contexts, it's actually about much more than simply making someone’s death less painful. In fact, it is based on the needs of the patient, not their prognosis, and it is often received alongside curative treatment to boost quality of life. What’s the difference between palliative care and end of life care? End-of-life care falls under the umbrella of palliative care. It’s also care that aims to improve quality of life and emotional wellbeing, but it's only offered in the very last stage of a person’s life when they are quickly approaching death and need additional support. For example, as someone deteriorates from serious illness, they may lose mobility and be unable to eat or drink and require intravenous medications. End-of-life care is what most people understand when they think of palliative care, but anyone with a chronic condition can receive palliative care at any stage of life-limiting illness. It’s also possible to receive palliative care and recover, whereas end-of-life care (as the name suggests) is offered when someone is very close to death. Where can you receive palliative care? There are four main places where palliative care services are provided to improve quality of life, and this is dependent upon the individual and their family’s needs and desires. Regardless of the context in which care is received, palliative care professionals can help a person and their family manage the disease or illness and the wide range of related symptoms. 1. In hospital This is a short-term form of palliative care that’s usually provided by a nurse, specialist or other medical professionals while a person awaits transfer to receive palliative care services elsewhere. 2. Residential aged care centre Residents at an aged care centre may access palliative care where they live as an additional service that’s part of their care plan, and some may even reside in a palliative care unit at the centre. Not all aged care centres provide palliative care, but it is generally considered to be a much calmer environment to receive this type of treatment than in hospital. It’s a preferable option for many as it combines the 24/7 support of a hospital with the comforts of a home environment. At a hospice, the palliative care and treatment may be similar to that offered at an aged care centre, however, the person doesn’t need to be a resident; a person could simply visit for the day then return home. 4. At home It’s also possible to receive palliative care services and treatment at home, whether it’s through home care services where a professional visits from time to time, or through having a live-in carer. Again, this is generally considered a calmer environment and may make it easier to be around loved ones more regularly, but it can be very expensive having a full-time live-in professional carer. Palliative care at IRT At IRT, many of our aged care centres offer specialised palliative care and end-of-life care in a supportive and calm environment where our palliative care team puts the individual first. Participating care centres offer 'Serenity' neighbourhoods: defined areas which offer specialised palliative care to help residents manage symptoms and access the personalised care and support they need to manage a life-limiting illness. We also have a Namaste program at participating care centres that focuses on treatments such as therapeutic touch, aromatherapy, and music therapy.Find out more Types of palliative care treatments and support Palliative care treatments vary widely and depend upon the needs of the individual and the palliative care provider, however, they typically aim to address the following areas: 1. Physical treatments Physical side effects of life-limiting and serious illness and associated treatment can include a range of symptoms from pain and fatigue to breathing problems and nausea. Palliative care aims to help reduce the impact of these through a range of strategies. These may include anti-nausea medications, physical therapy, repositioning or providing massage and touch therapy. The type of care really depends on the person and their needs. For example, if someone needs end-of-life care, then medication such as morphine may be administered to help with pain management if required. 2. Mental health support Life-limiting illnesses, their treatments and processing one’s mortality can all play a role in negatively affecting mental health, but there are many ways to lessen the impact and improve quality of life. Part of the palliative care plan may include relaxing activities that are proven to reduce common mental health problems such as stress, depression or dementia. Sunshine therapy, aromatherapy, music therapy, art & craft, gentle exercise and pet therapy are all examples of strategies that may be used to offer additional support and help support relaxation. 3. Social support One aim of palliative care is to increase social interaction, which in turn, may help improve quality of life. At an aged care centre, palliating residents may be encouraged to engage with lifestyle activities, so that they continue to interact with other residents and staff via social activities such as bingo or arts and craft. If someone is unable or unwilling to participate in group activities, a lifestyle officer may visit the resident in their room for a chat and bring an activity to them to reduce isolation. Family and loved ones are also able to visit at any time as well. 4. Emotional support Having a life-limiting illness can be extremely challenging for all involved and lead to a range of emotions that are difficult to manage, whether it’s anger, grief or anxiety. A support group, counsellor or psychologist can help the person receiving palliative care or their loved ones get the emotional support they need to cope with the situation. Aged care centre employees offer compassionate support, however, they can also connect residents and their family members with additional counselling services, if required. 5. Spiritual support Having a life-limiting illness can bring up a lot, including many questions about life, the meaning behind the illness and what might happen after death. Part of palliative care may include connecting a person to relevant spiritual groups of their choosing with whom they can discuss such matters and find spiritual support. For example, in an aged care centre if a resident is Catholic, then staff can arrange for a priest to visit and offer comforting words or prayer as part of the person's care.

Their website includes resources for patients and carers, plus a palliative care service directory and other health care service information. Palliative care at IRT Palliative care programs help people live as fully and as comfortably as possible with a life-limiting illness. Residents and families are supported through this time through a number of specialist programs, where residents are honoured in life, and in passing. At IRT, our Journey of Care model aims to cater to the individual’s unique care needs by offering highly personalised care. For residents who need palliative support, we offer ‘Serenity’ neighbourhoods at participating care centres: defined areas which offer palliative care services to residents, as well as our ‘Namaste’ program. Trained staff integrate sensory stimulation into care delivery using therapeutic touch, aromatherapy, music and sensory experiences. Founded on the power of loving touch, some of the benefits of our Namaste program include: - A relaxed and fulfilling environment - Reduced need for medication - Decreased pain - Fewer incidents of aggression - Increased social interaction
Expedition-Documentary Sound Mixer Relies on Sound Devices Production Mixer As an expedition-style-documentary sound mixer, David Ruddick has worked in some of Earth’s most extreme environments. From scorching heat to blistering cold, Ruddick knows the importance of having reliable gear on location. That’s why he’s made the Sound Devices 633 Production Mixer the backbone of his compact audio rig. Weight, battery life and quality are his top priorities, so when Sound Devices introduced the six-input, 10-track 633, Ruddick incorporated the all-in-one recorder/mixer into his audio rig. “I knew the 633 would be a bag-changer for me due to its compact size and functionality,” he says. “When you’re hiking with gear on your back, less is definitely more. The 633 is a pretty amazing tool in a small box.” Ruddick has already put the 633 through its paces around the world, from the super humid and wet conditions of the Philippines to the icy cold weather of Canada and Utah. In the Philippines, he recorded the Philippine eagle, one of the largest birds of prey in the world, for the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, a member-supported unit of Cornell University that studies birds and other wildlife. The super-long battery life of the 633 was crucial to this project, as accessibility to electricity was limited. Not having to constantly worry about battery power gave him the peace of mind needed while working in such a remote location. Ruddick then headed to the cold of Canada and Utah to film skiing for the Teton Gravity Research series, Locals. “I literally went from hiking muddy hot trails to snowy mountains,” he notes. “The contrast of these two locations is a true testament to the durability of Sound Devices products. And of course, most importantly, the 633 sounds great. I have used Sound Devices equipment for a long time and its gear has consistently worked well in the harsh environments I have subjected them to; the 633 is yet another great product from the company.” Ruddick found it easy to transition the 633 into his expedition-ready audio setup, finding it compatible with many of the mainstays of his rig, such as Lectrosonics wireless receivers and Schoeps and Sennheiser shotgun mics. In addition, Ruddick always packs a Sound Devices USBPre 2, a high-resolution, portable hardware interface for Mac- and Windows-based digital audio. He calls upon it for playback from a computer, which is extremely useful while on location. He also employs it to extend the number of preamps on the 633 so that he can capture surround recordings. The powerful 633 mixer/recorder features six inputs, with three high-bandwidth mic/line XLR inputs complete with phantom power, high-pass filter, input limiter and variable pan. Three additional line-level inputs appear on TA3 (mini-XLR) connectors. All inputs are assignable to any output bus. The 633 also offers 10-track, 24-bit, 48-kHz uncompressed polyphonic or monophonic broadcast WAV file recording (96 kHz for eight tracks, 192 kHz for six tracks) or timecode-stamped MP3 recording to CompactFlash and/or SD cards. All six inputs, plus left/right and aux 1/2, can be recorded to individual tracks. The 633 offers dual-card slots that record to either one or both cards simultaneously, with the added ability to assign different tracks to each memory card. The 633’s high-accuracy, Ambient-based timecode generator/reader assists in multiple-camera and double-system sound applications. All common production timecode rates and modes are available. Extensive file metadata is supported along with the timecode. The 633 also features a keyboard port for quick and easy metadata entry. Unique to the industry, the 633 is equipped with a four-way power supply and Sound Devices’ proprietary PowerSafe technology. The two-channel USBPre 2 offers professionals a powerful yet easy-to-use portable interface to interconnect audio sources to both Mac OS and Windows computers over USB. The class-compliant plug-and-play device accepts mic-level, line-level, consumer-line-level and SPDIF-digital (coaxial or TOSLINK) inputs. Its microphone preamplifiers have selectable analog limiters, high-pass filters, 48 V phantom power and high-resolution LED meters. Because the USBPre 2 draws its power solely from the computer’s USB port, no additional power source is required. Sound Devices designed the USBPre 2 for both reference quality input and output. Its balanced XLR outputs offer superior rejection to interference and are switch-selectable between mic or line level. Additionally, a consumer RCA-type output is available for connection to unbalanced inputs. Its headphone amplifier easily drives full-sized headphones with extensive, clean gain.

Last updated on April 13th, 2023 at 09:53 am Stardew Valley is a famous agricultural simulation game that allows players to immerse themselves in a virtual environment where they may cultivate crops, raise animals, and establish relationships with the game’s characters. Players can also sell their produce and goods to other players in the game. One of Stardew Valley’s features is the capacity to consume alcoholic beverages, people have begun to wonder whether or not it is actually feasible to become intoxicated while playing the game. There are hints throughout the game that imply it’s possible for the characters to become inebriated, despite the fact that it’s never stated outright in the game. Here is our guide on whether you can get drunk in Stardew Valley. Can you get drunk in Stardew Valley? Short Answer: Yes, you can get drunk in Stardew Valley. Alcoholic drinks, including beer and wine, are available to buy or make in the game, and ingesting them will make the character’s speech slur and their actions shaky. In addition to this, the image on the screen will become pixelated, and the character’s eyes will look to have trouble focusing. Yet, despite these effects, it does not appear that drinking alcohol has any detrimental impact on the characters in Stardew Valley. They are able to carry out activities such as farming and mining without difficulty, and it does not appear that their health or energy levels are being negatively impacted in any way. Although it is possible for characters in Stardew Valley to consume alcohol and experience some of the effects of being intoxicated, the game does not mimic any of the negative repercussions that would generally occur from drinking an excessive amount of alcohol. If a player hasn’t invested a lot of time into the game, or if they haven’t played the surprisingly popular farming simulation before, it’s easy for them to think of Stardew Valley as just a cute game with cute animals and colorful aesthetics that show off small-town rural living as the seasons change. However, Stardew Valley is much more than just a cute game with cute animals and colorful aesthetics. Although it has aspects of farming, animal raising, and a charming and seemingly simple design, Stardew Valley also has a more serious side. This site touches on and occasionally analyzes themes like substance misuse, terrible childhoods, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Some storylines make the player feel as if they have walked into the middle of a soap opera, complete with illicit affairs and a wizard who is pregnant with his lover’s kid, while others have a little bit more substance. When Stardew Valley introduces alcohol into the lives of many non-playable characters, it is by far the most emotionally taxing, thought-provoking, and intricate of these events. Characters like Pam and Shane, who appear to have struggled with drinking not only affect their lives but also the lives of those around them, have been created by ConcernedApe alongside narrative arcs such as the one involving the returning soldier Kent and the harrowing experiences he had while serving his country in combat. It all begins in a quite harmless manner. In Stardew Valley, players have the ability to manufacture a wide variety of byproducts from farming, some of which include wine, mead, and ale. Some of the locals in the town appreciate these alcoholic beverages as presents, which is a simple method to advance connections with the other citizens of the town. Nevertheless, as time goes on in Stardew Valley, players begin to discover that characters like Shane and Pam may have a more damaging connection with the substance than it appears to have at first glance. This adds a layer of complication to the situation. Alex, a likable secondary character who may be romanced, divulges that he has struggled with his own violent and perhaps alcoholic father, further illustrating how dependence on alcohol is a destructive scenario that doesn’t just affect the drinker. Alcohol’s connection with different characters There is little question that Pam’s drinking problem has had an effect on her daughter Penny, who includes beer, wine, and mead on the long list of things she does not like to consume. This cryptic hint about her own connection with alcohol is a terrible echo of Penny’s life with her unstable mother and adds a tragic depth to Pam’s need for her supporting daughter. Penny’s life with her troubled mother is a sad reflection of this inconspicuous clue. Penny and her mother share a trailer on the eastern edge of Pelican Town; despite the fact that Penny’s efforts to care for both the house and her mother are seemingly never-ending and are not always acknowledged, she continues to do so. Pam, on the other hand, can almost always be seen at the Stardrop Saloon, where it would appear that she drowns her sorrows in alcohol ever since she was laid off after the breakdown of the town’s bus. Shane is another one of the characters that seem to have an issue with alcohol. He has little choice but to accept employment at the soulless JojaMart, despite the fact that the vast majority of locals harbor resentment toward the soulless megacorporation that is responsible for running it. At first glance, Shane may be easy to ignore because he always seems to be in a foul mood and is permanently disheveled. On the other hand, when the players get to know him more, they find that the grumpy bachelor has a more sensitive side. Players see Shane hit rock bottom when he discusses his feelings of unworthiness and thoughts of suicide, which provides some of the most interesting events and conversations among the bachelors and bachelorettes that they can pursue. His tragic backstory and redemptive character arc also provide some of the most interesting events and conversations that players can pursue. Players will also witness him turn this situation around and become resolute in his goal to be a better godfather to Jas.

For a week, debate in Egypt has been raging over journalist Cherif Choubachy's call for women to take their hijab off in a protest at Tahrir Square in the first week of May. In a video that was posted online, followed by several TV show appearances, Choubachy argued that for over 50 years, the hijab was barely seen in Egypt, until the 1967 defeat (An-Naksah) when Egyptians started believing that their defeat was rooted in abandoning religion. "If hijab is the true meaning of virtue, then how do you explain that all the female prisoners wear hijab [...] And it's logical that they are imprisoned because they stole, killed, or committed adultery," he explained in his video, adding that: "99 percent of Egypt's prostitutes are veiled." In response to what he considered a fake visage that bears no true virtue underneath, he called on women to take their hijab off if it wasn't an act of free will. Naturally, Choubachy's opinion and invitation for taking off hijabs has sparked a huge debate. Similar to any argument that happens in Egypt, a sweeping wave of opinions are thrown around simultaneously, and they usually consolidate under a few main umbrellas. There are those who are pro-leaving the hijab at home: Those who are against: The downright scary: And those who sit back and mock all the above. Basically, we feel:
In this Canto, Dante illustrates the Catholic idea of the Mystic Rose, one of the insignia of the Virgin Mary and a symbol used for Catholic decoration and meditation. I think of it as the Catholic version of the thousand petalled lotus. The flower represents divine perfection and beauty before the intervention of humanity. Nature unfolds in poetic perfection. I think one of the ideas Dante is putting forward here is the belief that everything was and is perfect before people begin imposing their will on it. That goes for our own lives too — if you give yourself over to your path, stop resisting who you are or, in Catholic terms, allow God to take control of your life, things tend to turn out pretty well. Of course, this is an idea that is open to debate. I was thinking just recently that my life is much better since I gave myself up to the idea of my own path and stopped trying to control everything. However, a dream I had just last night reminded me that wherever we make the decision to accept what is happening in our life and go with that flow — that is where we settle. If I had, for example, taken the opportunity to buy the house where I lived on Elm Street, very happily for several years in Ottawa, I would have had an asset worth double the cost of it eight years ago. I would have been financially secure but I would never have visited Texas and there is no doubt at all in my mind that I would not be married right now, would not have the life I have, would never have met my beloved husband. There were other opportunities to settle into a path of happiness that seemed almost right for me in the time and place they were offered but they were not quite right for me and something inside told me to decline the offer of those paths and continue on my own. Where I am now is exactly where I was always meant to be. That is always true. So for me, the Mystic Rose is a moment of perfect balance right where you are. St. Bernard also appears in this Canto for Dante, he was a poet and renowned for his devotion to Mary, whom I see as the female principle of the divine as worshipped by the early Catholics. For me, the rose is the Goddess, the truth, the path as it is, perfect as it is, and another divine mystery. The Mystic Rose On a red-painted front porch, attached to an old, white clapboard house, I sat and wrote. Beside me was a butterfly bush. It was late summer and many of the blooms were brown but amid the leaves and messy blooms, some spent, some still white and fragrant, swallowtails, monarchs, little butterflies with brown and blue wings and black ones with colored borders, all fluttered, settled, drank and flew up, toward the light. On an August day, in such a place, there is no higher paradise. The people of Mystic seem to know it. In the town there is an art festival, painters show their work in tents along main street. The suspension bridge lifts its deck to let the boaters through once every hour and everyone asks if Mystic pizza is as good as the movie made it out to be. (Best not to try it so you’ll never know but also do not listen to those who have tried.) Mystic Pizza is the town’s own tree of knowledge. Those who try it are trapped forever in a world where the unknown is known and they have the weight of their awareness. They tell you it is not as good, they share their experience as we all do but you’ll never believe them if you do not try it for yourself. Don’t try it. Some things should be mysteries, left to hover in plain sight, tantalizing with promises unknown and it is better that way. In the shops they sell glasses with mermaids and seahorses painted on them. They have lobster suppers at the church hall. There is a psychic, just one for the whole town. Her office is above the main street in town and the steps are painted “Mystic Psychic” in black letters on white. People walk their dogs and ride their bikes and talk about the weather and everything is exactly as it should be. In the center of town there is a wild rose. It blooms pink in the summer and what people don’t know is that it is a mystic rose. Clip just one bloom and your car will hold the fragrance for a year. Eat one fish from the sea nearby and you will never be hungry again. Buy a necklace in the little silver shop, and you will be forever adorned. We all become what we are called, when we are called to it and there is nothing mysterious about that. The very root of this story for me began in a garden with roses. In 1993 I was in therapy after the death of one of my young students at a co-op preschool. He died of appendicitis, there was nothing anyone could do about it at my level but he went home one afternoon and died that night. I found it all but impossible to live with. I went into therapy and within weeks, left the field of Early Childhood Education forever. At the time I was living with my boyfriend in my mother’s townhouse. We were renovating the place so she could sell it and buy a larger, revenue property. However, I was also interested in making a home and so I took to gardening. The garden was nothing but neglected shrubs, rhododendrons and weeds when I took it on but gradually I added vegetables, herbs and edible flowers. It bloomed and became lovely. People regularly stopped to compliment me on the garden as they passed. My roses were a point of pride for me. They bloomed beautifully, abundantly and constantly and they were a source of comfort too for at the time I was often at odds with my family. My therapist had me sorting out the wounds of my own childhood and I was shocked and upset at all the damage that had been done to me by those who were supposed to love and protect me. My family hated my therapist and blamed her for a lot of their problems in dealing with me. They were, in one sense, correct since I did use her help to wake up and take my life back. Within a year of starting therapy I knew I had to go to university. I understood a great deal about myself and those roses were an anchor point. When things got rocky, I would go out to my garden with a cup of coffee in my hand, look at my roses and think to myself; “they can say I’m wrong about whatever they want, they can say I have failed at everything but I’m right about this. I can do this. This is something I have done alone and this is exceptionally good.” That gave me the confidence to watch programs like The Power of Myth, seek out the wisdom of teachers like Joseph Campbell and dare to believe those ideas could be applied in my own life. In 1995 I began my undergraduate course of study at Carleton University. I was on the Dean’s list that year and each subsequent year. I won awards, scholarships and was able to support myself on my writing and teaching. My roses bloomed and so did I. And a postscript; ten years after first writing this; in 2017, my husband came home from work early. He was feeling sick to his stomach, so much so that he had pulled the car over and vomited on his way home. He went to bed early, drank a little tea, had a fever. He thought he would be okay if he could just poop, but he couldn’t. Something in my memory from the death of Derek, my student all those years ago, began to raise an alarm. I put Steven, my husband, in the car and drove to the emergency room. His appendix had ruptured. Without me, Steven would have died in his bed. Without Derek, I may have let it happen. Nothing in life is wasted. As long as you are present, and a little bit brave, every single thing you experience will become a gift. I believe that.

When planning a life-changing move across borders, entrusting the process to reliable Deerfield Beach International Movers can make all the difference. As the world continues to become more interconnected, international moving has become an increasingly common occurrence. However, it brings a unique set of challenges best navigated with the help of seasoned professionals. Stride Movers, a trusted name in Deerfield Beach, Florida, has earned its reputation through a steadfast commitment to customer satisfaction, personalized service, and excellent execution in international moving. Challenges of International Moving in Deerfield Beach Embarking on an international move is an exciting venture, but it’s also fraught with potential hurdles. Here are some of the key challenges to consider: - Regulations and Customs: Every country has unique import regulations and customs procedures. Navigating these complex rules can be daunting and confusing for those inexperienced in international moves. - Language Barriers: If you’re moving to a country where English isn’t widely spoken, language barriers can pose significant challenges, particularly when dealing with customs officials or arranging local services. - Safe Transport of Belongings: Ensuring your belongings are safe and secure transport across borders is another concern. This includes the risk of damage and the logistical challenge of managing a long-distance move. - Managing Time Zones: Coordinating a move across various time zones can be tricky. Scheduling packing, shipping, and delivery times often requires careful planning and flexibility. - Cultural Adjustments: While not directly related to the moving process, cultural adjustment to a new country can also be challenging. Understanding local customs and etiquette can help ease the transition. Importance of Professional Assistance in International Moving in Deerfield Beach Handling an international move independently can quickly become an overwhelming task due to the complexities involved. That’s why enlisting the help of a professional moving company like Stride Movers in Deerfield Beach is invaluable. Firstly, professional movers have extensive experience and knowledge in handling international relocations. They understand the ins and outs of the process, from packing belongings for long-distance transport to navigating customs procedures in different countries.

They have access to reliable transportation and packing materials that ensure your belongings’ safety throughout the move. Additionally, they have established relationships with international partners, facilitating efficient and timely delivery in the destination country. Lastly, professional movers provide peace of mind. Knowing that experts are handling your move allows you to focus on other important aspects of the relocation, such as acclimating to the new culture or settling into your new job.

Which programming languages are most appropriate for use in the cloud? That question, in essence, is the topic of discussion for the twelfth episode of The New Stack at Scale podcast, now live onSoundCloud and iTunes. The format of this episode is a little different. First, The New Stack’s Scott Fulton presents a special segment on programming languages, particularly Go, in a cloud-native environment, with Red Hat Principal Software Engineer Vincent Batts, as well as Lead Software Engineer Chris Haupt and Product Manager Victor Soares from New Relic. Then host Alex Williams (founder and editor in chief of The New Stack) and I are joined by “the famous Adron Hall,” a Portland-based developer working on issues related to scalability and deployment of large-scale systems, including DevOps Static vs. dynamic programming languages Scott’s segment [time code 1:51] points out the differences between dynamically typed and statically typed programming languages in the “cloud native ecosystem.” In particular, the segment talks about the rise of Go, for which New Relic has just released a new agent. (Be sure to read Ready? Steady. Go! Public Beta of Go Support Opens in New Relic APM.) Scott notes that since it was originally developed for Google’s internal use, Go seems particularly well suited to “help developers looking to integrate static server-side development with dynamic client-side development” in cloud native environments. Even though the Go community has grown significantly as companies like New Relic use it to build new products and applications—including New Relic Infrastructure—Go hasn’t yet barged its way into most programming language top 10 rankings [18:08]. (For more information, see The Most Popular Programming Languages of 2016.) According to Adron and Neha [26:11], that’s partly because Go is a relatively new language, and developers may be waiting for build-outs of more mature tooling, including IDEs and specific frameworks. More important, though, according to Adron, many traditional companies outside the San Francisco/Seattle/Portland axis of new internet companies are not yet living in the cloud-native, polyglot world of microservices architectures, containers, and multiple single-purpose applications that Go helps enable. To put it simply: “As goes cloud, so goes Go!” Listen to the entire podcast for much more on Go and cloud-native environments, including how long it takes to “jump on the Go train.”
From 22 to 30 October 2022, STRP is present at Dutch Design Week (DDW) with several activities.

The first weekend of DDW, Liam Young will be in Eindhoven for an artist talk. And STRP is partner of DDW Talks: Interactive Experiences, where amongst others artist duo Cream on Chrome will talk about the design of experiential artworks. In Choreographic Camouflage, Young teams up with choreographer Jacob Jonas for a dance performance and film that presents a new vocabulary of movement that has been designed to disguise the proportions of their body from the skeleton detection algorithms used by modern city’s surveillance networks to track and identify individuals. The film will be shown in continuous time slots during Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven, from 11 am to 6 pm. You will find Choreographic Camouflage at the Dance Studio in Area51, Strijp-S.

April 20, 2006 — Four high school seniors on St. Thomas have been granted more than $1 million in scholarships to the U. S. Coast Guard Academy, one of the nation's most prestigious schools. The four — Ivanna Eudora Kean senior Shaharlee Blake and Charlotte Amalie High School seniors Daria Scott, Jevron James and Lenny Phillip — have each been granted a $275,000 scholarship, USCG Lt. Alvin Dalmida announced this week. The scholarships are part of the Coast Guard's "Recruiting in the 21st Century" minority recruitment program. Dalmida, a 1981 CAHS graduate, has been ambitiously recruiting V.I. students for several years. Dalmida takes special pride in the new crop of students, particularly the three CAHS seniors, whom he has personally recruited and mentored. "It was a lot of work, e-mails phone calls," he said. "They [the students] called me after hours, and even text-messaged me to discuss their interests, the application process and the essays they had to submit. "Acceptance into the Coast Guard Academy is very competitive," Dalmida said, "and these students have done very well." The CAHS students got a taste of academy life last summer when they took advantage of the Coast Guard's Academy Introduction Mission (AIM) in New London, Conn. – a rigorous summer endeavor which seeks to instill discipline, teamwork and honor into prospective cadets (See "Students Return From Coast Guard Training Session"). Before entering the academy, the students are recommended to attend a one-year prep course at the New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell, N.M. Once they complete the year, they will become full-time students at the academy. Lt. Col. David Waller, Kean senior army instructor, is mentor to Shaharlee Blake, a role in which he takes pride. "She is constant, a solid performer. She has always been very motivated and conscientious. She always attends the JROTC summer camp in Puerto Rico, and last summer she received the company leadership award. There's about 200 cadets involved in the programs," he said. "Each summer only the top students from each school's program get to participate in the camp." About her acceptance in the program, Blake said, "I'm excited, nervous mixed emotions I guess, but most important, I'm happy." Blake is an athlete, a dancer with the Caribbean Ritual Dancers troupe, and a member of the National Honor Society, as well as battalion operations officer for the Kean JROTC program. And she is modest. "I'm not the greatest musician," she said, "but I do other stuff. I just competed in the Carnival Queen show. I didn't win; I got Miss Cooperative, but it played out well because I got accepted in the program, so it didn't bother me. I was just overwhelmed when I heard I'd gotten in. I didn't expect it so soon. It was really a load off my shoulders." CAHS student Lenny Phillip is an honors student. And according to Dalmida, "He is an athlete and a varsity basketball player who took time out to concentrate on his academic prowess. He is a team leader. He led the students last year in the AIM summer program at the academy." Phillip said he was a bit surprised by the good news: "Oh, yeah, I was surprised, but really, really glad. Anybody who gets a chance to do this shouldn't reject it." He is still obviously enthused about the experience he had last year at the AIM program. "I participated in everything," he said. "It was a really interesting program. I met students from all over the world — from Korea, from Mexico. It was exciting." Phillip, who said he will pursue a civil engineer career at the academy, had one request, not directly related to school. He asked: "Can I put in a halo? I would like to thank Lt. Dalmida and Thomas Hoffman. He [Hoffman] helped pay for our tickets last summer." Dalmida confirmed that Hoffman, Navy League Caribbean and Latin American Division regional president, and the USS Robert L. Wilson Association helped pay for the students' tickets for the summer program. Though the Source wasn't able to contact either Scott or James, Dalmida had warm words for them. In fact, Daria Scott was plucked almost directly from a CAHS recruiting mission Dalmida and USCG Petty Officer Edwin Blyden made last spring. At that time, Scott had just been promoted from JROTC company commander to battalion commander. The USCG recruiters immediately told her about the USCG opportunities. She listened but said she was thinking about studying political science at the University of the Virgin Islands. In his USCG letter of recommendation to the academy, Dalmida said, "When Scott announced her intention to apply to the academy, she knew it would be an uphill battle She has maintained a 3.4 point GPA, and takes advanced classes in pre-calculus, advanced biology. And she is a member of the Rising Stars Steel Orchestra, which selected the best and the brightest students." James is a locally well-known athlete. He is the 6-foot-4-inch center for the CAHS Chicken Hawks basketball team, and an all-star volleyball player. In his letter of recommendation for James, Dalmida said, "James would be a most outstanding addition to any corps of cadets." The four students and their parents travel to New London on Saturday for a brief orientation session. Graduates from the academy receive a Bachelor of Science degree and a leadership job as a USCG junior officer. There is a minimum service obligation of five years, Dalmida said, and most academy graduates make the military their career. Share your reaction to this news with other Source readers.

The Trump administration is abandoning Obama administration curbs on methane leaks from oil and gas wells. Methane is the chief component of natural gas, making it a valuable energy source and commodity. Yet it is also a climate menace—a powerful heat-trapping pollutant estimated to be roughly 80 times more powerful than carbon dioxide at warming the atmosphere over a 20-year period. Methane makes up roughly a 10th of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, with much of that coming from the energy industry. The measures, set to be released by the Environmental Protection Agency, finalize proposals issued over the past two years. Together, they will rescind methane-specific emission curbs at new and modified oil wells while easing some requirements for energy companies to frequently inspect equipment and repair leaks of other pollution known as volatile organic compounds. Many inspections will be required semiannually, including for compressor stations that now have a quarterly requirement, according to two people familiar with the matter who asked not to be named before a formal announcement. Agency officials and industry supporters argue that the regulations on methane are not needed because existing limits on ozone-forming volatile organic compounds already rein in the greenhouse gas. “There’s this false narrative that controls are going to be coming off and emissions spewing—and that’s just not correct,” said Howard Feldman, senior counselor of policy, economics and regulatory affairs at the American Petroleum Institute. “Our members are committed to emissions reductions.” Environmentalists argue it’s insufficient to focus regulations only on releases of volatile organic compounds from new and modified wells, given the potential for big methane leaks from older, existing operations. “Volatile organic compounds are not always a good proxy for methane emissions, and you’re going to leave emissions on the table if you don’t directly regulate methane,” said Ben Ratner, a senior director with the Environmental Defense Fund. Some large, integrated oil companies including Shell Oil Co. and BP Plc unsuccessfully lobbied the Trump administration to maintain the targeted methane limits. “The negative impacts of leaks and fugitive emissions have been widely acknowledged for years, so it’s frustrating and disappointing to see the administration go in a different direction,” Shell U.S. President Gretchen Watkins said in an emailed statement.
Application Program Interfaces (APIs) have become more important than ever. The use of an API allows for a single server-side program to be used by multiple scripts and applications. Due to its usefulness, API management has become one of the most common tasks for backend developers using Node.js. Let's take the example of a company with both a website and a mobile app. Both of these front-facing interfaces require essentially the same functionality from the server. By wrapping this functionality in an API, we allow for clean separation and reuse of the server-side code. Gone are the days of clunky PHP applications that embed backend functionality directly into the interface code of a website. We'll use Node.js to set up a Representational State Transfer (REST) API. Our API will run on Express.js, a popular web application framework with routing functionality. With these tools, we can quickly have an endpoint running on our localhost. We'll look at...

Something special’s been cooking on the breadboards of Placer County, California, and coming in hot off the line at Silktone is the Overdrive+, an overdrive pedal where the “+” is doing a lot of heavy lifting, making this more than just your common or garden variety dirt box. Yes, we know what you are thinking. Lord knows the world wants for many things but another drive pedal is not one of them. There’s millions of ‘em. But, wait a minute. What about an overdrive/boost twofer that has a toggle switch marked “Strangle/Raw”? Besides a low-level drive pedal addiction, common amongst a high percentage of electric guitar owners, this “Strangle/Raw” proposition is one of many good reasons why this could be a pedal worth investigating. It offers two flavors of boost to complement its drive, and can be deployed for a variety of playing situations – “low-gain always-on tonal enhancer to ripping high-gain lead machine,” Silktone says. Silktone big boss and designer Charles Henry admits that overdrives are easy to come by in this market. But as anyone with a pedalboard can attest to, there’s always room for one more. “What is there to say about an overdrive? They’re everywhere,” says Henry. “Didn’t want to re-invent the wheel, just wanted to make a wheel that could sound beautiful… or rip faces off.” Henry was hitherto laboring under the belief that a guitar loaded with P-90 pickups and a quality guitar amp was all you needed, until he put the Overdrive+ together. “I wanted to make one that made me eat my words,” he says. This is what you might call “a boutique drive pedal” in that it is priced at a serious $269, has a build that shares the high-end aesthetics of Silktone’s amp lineup, and its circuit – a conglomeration of JFETs, op-amps, and “a few diodes” – is designed to eke the most out of what is a relatively simple control surface. There are three knobs, none of which need much explanation: Volume, Tone, Gain. There is a mini-toggle switch to activate a bass cut, and another to choose between a more textured and dynamic asymmetric clipping mode and smoother, more compressed symmetrical clipping. The right-hand footswitch engages the effect. The left-hand footswitch engages the boost, which adds “a ton of gain” and brings the Strangle/Raw toggle switch into play. Set this to Strangle and you’ve got an inductor filtering out some frequencies for a cocked-wah, Michael Schenker/Mick Ronson vibe. Set it to Raw for unfiltered boost. Two Amber LEDs let you know when the pedal and its boost section is engaged. For more details, head over to Silktone, and check out the demos above to hear how the Overdrive+ sounds.

Essays that examine globalization's effects with an emphasis on the interplay of race and rurality as it occurs across diverse geographies and peoples. Issues of migration, environment, rurality, and the visceral "politics of place" and "space" have occupied center stage in recent electoral political struggles in the United States and Europe, suffused by an antiglobalization discourse that has come to resonate with Euro-American peoples. Race and Rurality in the Global Economy suggests that this present fractious global politics begs for closer attention to be paid to the deep-rooted conditions and outcomes of globalization and development. From multiple viewpoints the contributors to this volume propose ways of understanding the ongoing processes of globalization that configure peoples and places via a politics of rurality in a capitalist world economy, and through an optics of raciality that intersects with class, gender, identity, land, and environment. In tackling the dynamics of space and place, their essays address matters such as the heightened risks and multiple states of insecurity in the global economy; the new logics of expulsion and primitive accumulation dynamics shaping a new "savage sorting"; patterns of resistance and transformation in the face of globalization's political and environmental changes; the steady decline in the livelihoods of people of color globally and their deepened vulnerabilities; and the complex reconstitution of systemic and lived racialization within these processes. This book is an invitation to ask whether our dystopia in present politics can be disentangled from the deepening sense of "white fragility" in the context of the historical power of globalization's raced effects.

The prevalence of anaemia at higher levels of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (i.e. CKD stage 1-2) is relatively low in individuals from the general population. Anaemia of CKD is primarily caused by deficiency of erythropoietin. The kidneys are the major source of erythropoietin and, as renal function declines, production of erythropoietin declines proportionately. Though erythropoietin deficiency is common among patients with anaemia in CKD, other potential causes and contributing disorders should be identified or excluded if initial evaluation yields evidence for disorders other than iron deficiency or erythropoietin deficiency. Correction of anaemia in CKD patients improves survival and quality of life. Causes of Anaemia in Chronic Kidney Disease The following are the causes of anaemia in CKD: - Deficiency of erythropoietin - Red cell destruction from microvascular disease from diabetes or hypertension - Increased gastrointestinal bleeding - Increased oxidative stress leading to shortened red cell survival Symptoms of Anaemia in Chronic Kidney Disease (See ‘Anaemia’ for the symptoms) Signs of Anaemia in Chronic Kidney Disease (See ‘Anaemia’ for the signs - Reticulocyte count - Transferrin saturation - Serum ferritin - Stool occult blood Treatment for Anaemia in Chronic Kidney Disease Treatment objectives of anemia in CKD include the following: - To achieve and maintain a target-range Hb level of 11-12 g/dL - To improve the quality of life of the patients A.

There are three different options: 1. Show Always: Popup will show every time you visit the page. 2. Once every X days for each visitor: Popup will show up once every x days that you specify. So you can set a popup to show up once a week, once a month, or any set number of days. 3. Only once every session (browser closed/open):Popup will show only once every session, so the popup will only reappear if a visitor closes their browser and reopens the browser. If you have more than one Smart Pop-Up, assign a new Graphic Style to each new Smart Pop-Up. Click here to learn more about assigning Graphic Styles. Then, update the Pop-Up Graphic Style Name in the main widget option panel for each Smart Pop-Up. Drag and drop text, images, and other content into the Smart Pop-Up container. Note, the Smart Pop-Up widget does not support Contact Forms at this time.
The Pop-Up widget is unique in that it offers you several different timing features. It allows you to limit how often your visitor sees the pop-up window so that your visitors will not be annoyed by seeing the pop-up every single time they visit your site. You can set the timing features by going to the main widget option panel. In this dropdown, you can choose how often users see the Pop-Up. There are three options: 1. Show Always: The Pop-Up will always appear every time the visitor opens the page, and/or the page is reloaded. 2. Once every X days for each visitor: The Pop-Up appears only once in X days. For example, if you select this option and enter '7' in the 'days' feature, the Pop-Up will appear to visitors once a week, no matter if they refresh the page or open/close the browser. 3. Only once every session: The Pop-Up appears to a visitor only once during a session. A session resets every time they close and open the browser. So, after a visitor views the Pop-Up the first time, they can refresh the page and the Pop-Up won't show up. But, if they close the browser and open it again to visit your site, the Pop-Up window will reappear because they started a new browsing session. Important Note About Cookies: 'Once every x days for each visitor' and 'only once every session' both rely on cookies. Cookies are used to tell how many days it's been since the visitor last saw the Pop-Up. Cookies are also used to tell when a visitor has started a new browser session. Delay before Pop-Up appears: You can choose how many seconds it takes for the pop-up to appear once a visitor goes to your site.
Your access level within StaffSavvy will dictate the permissions you have. The levels (and the permissions they have) can be completely customised per organisation. If you do not have permission to do a task you expected to be able to do then first is to contact your line manager or the system administrator within your organisation. If they are unable to assist you in providing the access your need then please ask them to contact StaffSavvy support on your behalf. We will be able to review the issue and update the permissions to match your needs but we can only do this on instruction from a System Manager within your organisation.
ScriptRunner for ThinPrint provides a convenient GUI-based means to create, execute and manage scripts. With ScriptRunner you can create scripts for individual users or for various administrator groups with different permissions. Then, for example, a user/group can only access scripts that have been released for them. Scripts can be designed so that they reveal only certain parameters to a user/group. In addition, it can be stipulated whether the values of certain parameters are permitted to be changed. Thus, ScriptRunner enables you to carry out role-based administration. Web server (IIS) with the Management Services and ScriptRunner: - at least Windows Server 2012 - .NET Framework 4.7.2 Print server (agent): - at least Windows 8/Windows Server 2012 - Windows Remote Management (WinRM) must be activated - Start Powershell via administrator and enter the following: Configure-SMRemoting. exe-enable Web browser for Admin App and Delegation App: - Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge (Chromium), Opera - Start by deciding which component is to be installed on which computer. - TpmS.Service and ScriptRunner must be installed on the same computer. ScriptRunner requires the pre-installation of TpmS.Service. - If there is only one central print server in use it may also make sense to install ThinPrint Engine and Tpms.Service on the same computer. - Install the Tpms.Agent on the print servers on which printers, drivers and printer ports will be created. - Tpms.Service and ThinPrint Engine must be installed on computers in the same domain to which the license server belongs or in a trusted or sub-domain thereof.
To perform a software update, the following preconditions must be met: - the license must have a current update subscription available (see below) - the Subscription Key must have been entered in License Manager (see the section Installation of the Subscription Key). If these conditions have been met, run the installation program Setup.exe for the respective software. Please read also Updating to ThinPrint 10 or higher. Note! As of ThinPrint version 13, the license server automatically downloads the update subscription keys (from the Cortado Enterprise Portal) and installs them on the license server. If this is not or cannot be done automatically ‒ e. g. because there is no Internet connection ‒ it is still possible to create and install these update subscription keys manually. - With Annual License Model (ALM), update keys are used to extend the useful life of the software. - For other licenses not purchased on the basis of the Annual License Model, a valid update subscription authorizes the use of the latest software versions, without needing to purchase new licenses. You can get an overview of the validity period of your licenses in Enterprise Portal (for example, in Customer View) under Service Runtime. Four weeks before the subscription expires, a yellow exclamation mark appears next to the green icon of the license key in the License Manager. - Annual licenses (ALM) do not have a Subscription Key – when first entered. Instead, it is displayed how long the license is valid (column Valid Until). Before the validity expires, you should renew your license to continue printing. To do so, click on the button (arrow in the first screenshot) to receive a quote for a Subscription Key. - Non-ALM license keys usually contain a 12 months update subscription if purchased. Software updates can be performed within this period. To extend the validity period, you can request a non-binding offer to be sent to you by clicking on the button (arrow in the first screenshot). The update subscription can be renewed at any time during subscription period. At that time you can take advantage of the Early Bird Special, at a reduced update price. If your subscription has already expired, then you still have six months during which to extend your update entitlement, using the Update Service. If the update entitlement has not been renewed six months after the expiration of the update subscription, no further update service is possible. Note! Even if the update subscription is renewed very early, the next subscription period of course first begins after the last period has expired. Installation of the Subscription Key After purchasing a renewal of an ALM license or a new update subscription, you will find the Subscription Key in the Enterprise Portal (for example in the Customer View) under Subscription Key. You can recognize the Subscription Key by an X as the third block. - To enter Subscription Keys, you can use the Add Subscription Key function in the context menu of a license key. - If you have received a Subscription Key together with an Activation Key, you can also enter it under Activate and confirm with OK. - Then click on the activated license key in License Manager on the left (screenshot after the next one). The Subscription Keyis automatically activated.

- Mizoram becomes fourth north eastern state to go ODF - District officials played an important role in motivating people - The state also has 100% toilet usage rate New Delhi: Preparations for the big news were already under their way from January 2018, when six out of eight districts in Mizoram were declared open defecation free. State officials who have worked relentlessly since the launch of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan predicted that the state would go open defecation free within two months. On March 31, 2018, their prediction came true when rural Mizoram was declared open defecation free, with all eight of the state’s districts having 100 per cent sanitation coverage in their respective areas. A state with rough terrain and uneven development, Mizoram’s success in Swachh Abhiyan cause to cheer. Rural Mizoram had sanitation coverage of 74 per cent when the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan began in 2014. Though in an improved condition compared to many other states, many districts in Mizoram, especially the ones in hilly terrains, remained devoid of proper sanitation facilities. Apart from the three districts of Aizawl, Champhai and Serchhip, sanitation coverage was low in the other five districts, in 2014. District administrations took it upon themselves to improve the situation. Even in the initial years of the campaign, regular awareness camps were held in villages, workshops held on building of toilets and many district administration officials themselves addressed residents on the benefits of having toilets. The open defecation free status of Mizoram was possible because of the hard work of its district officials, who in many cases, went from village to village to tell people about the importance of cleanliness. In villages where terrains proved to be difficult for the construction of conventional toilets, district officials helped locals use bamboo to construct strong and durable toilets, said K Zohmingliana, State Coordinator, Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin), Mizoram. A total of 33,000 toilets were constructed across the state between 2014 and 2018. As per the National Annual Rural Sanitation Survey conducted between November 2017 and March 2018, Mizoram was among one of the best performing states in India. Not only all the districts of the state had 100 per cent toilet coverage, but all the households in rural areas used them regularly, compared to the national average of 68 per cent people with access to toilets actually using it in their households. “We are proud of the sanitation culture that has developed in Mizoram, people have not only been successful in building toilets, but also using them effectively. This indicates the behavioural change that has accompanied Swachh Bharat Abhiyan in Mizoram and will be effective in ensuring long term cleanliness for the state,” said Mr Zohmingliana. With the ODF declaration, rural Mizoram becomes the fourth north-eastern state to achieve the distinction. Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation Secretary Parameswaran Iyer took to Twitter to congratulate the state of Mizoram for their achievement. Congratulations to Team @swachhbharat Mizoram at state, district and village level for this big achievement! Another step towards an #ODF India. @umasribharti @PMOIndia #ChaloChamparan https://t.co/diLZJinQpN — Param Iyer (@paramiyer_) April 5, 2018 Apart from Sikkim, no north-eastern state had sanitation coverage of above 50 per cent in 2014. But the north eastern states’ performance to improve rural sanitation has been exemplary and Mizoram’s ODF status will be inspirational for the other states of the region – Manipur, Nagaland, Tripura and Assam to pursue their ODF goal.
It seems the weather cannot make up its mind these days and if the fluctuating temperature has you dreaming of summer, you are probably more than ready to hit the beach or sit by the pool sipping cocktails. Who’s with me? If this is you, then right now is the time to start waxing! Don’t wait until the warm summer weather is here and it is time to slip on the swimsuit to start thinking about waxing. That’s right. The best time to start waxing is right now. If you are new to waxing, or perhaps you have never waxed before, it can take a little time to see your best results. Sure, when you wax, the hair will all be removed whether it is your first time or not, but it takes a few rounds of waxing before you really understand what schedule you need to be on. Also, the more often you wax, you may start to notice that your hair will start to grow back less and less over time. This is not true is all cases, but in general, the more often you wax, the easier it becomes. Getting started earlier gives you a (smooth) leg up on the summer waxing season. By the time summer rolls around, you will be in a good groove with your waxing schedule, so you can plan ahead with your appointments so you will never be caught poolside with a fuzzy situation on your hands. Nervous to get started? Don’t be! The wax specialists at our North Hills wax boutique will put you right at ease and take great care of you! We use the best quality European waxes that are strong enough to work on even the coarsest of hair, but gentle enough for sensitive skin and the technique we use makes the process as quick as possible with minimal pain. We use hard wax on sensitive areas of the body like the bikini line, under arms and face, and a soft wax for other parts of the body such as legs.
