Originally, this article was featured on Dave Asprey’s Biohacked blog but in an abbreviated and less interesting form. Read on for more information, more vulgarity, and more blue. If you could upgrade your brain and protect it at the same time, would it be worth peeing blue? How about if this same compound, depending on the dose, was an antimicrobial (possibly even against those pesky coronaviruses), an antidepressant, and a potential treatment for both neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, etc.) and cancer? If so, read on and get ready to #blueyourself because today we are taking a deep dive into the history, science, and massive potential of methylene blue (MB). Methylene Blue's History MB has a very colorful (blue? 😁) history. It was initially developed in the late 1800s as a dye for use in textile manufacturing (fun fact: it was the dye initially used to make jeans blue), but soon after it was synthesized, several medical applications were discovered, the first of which was for the treatment of malaria. MB was also used effectively as an antifungal, antiviral, and antibacterial agent before prescription antimicrobials became available in the 1950s. It is still used as an antifungal agent in fish tank cleaners. More on this later but if you are going to try MB, please don’t drink fish tank cleaner and potentially win a Darwin Award! In the mid-20th century, MB was discovered to have antipsychotic and mood enhancing properties. It was also added to other drugs to ensure medication compliance. Blue urine? You’ve been taking your drugs! Beginning early in the 20th century, MB was regularly used as a bacteriologic stain, a cellular stain, an indicator dye, and for surgical and medical marking. Its use continues to the present day. Recently, there has been significant interest in MB because of several studies showing that it may improve learning, memory, and be neuroprotective (see below). It is also re-emerging as a possible treatment of malaria because of drug resistant strains and as a way to fight other infections as well, especially when combined with certain spectrums of light. Methylene Blue's Cellular Mechanisms: 8 Reasons Why Low-Dose Methylene Blue is a Biohacker’s Delight MB is an electron cycler, both donating and accepting electrons. After absorption in the buccal mucosa (e.g., in a troche), oral ingestion, or IV administration, MB concentrates in tissues with the most mitochondria (e.g., the brain where it readily crosses the blood brain barrier, the heart, the liver, and kidneys). It is at low doses that MB makes (blue) magic happen. Here are the 8 most promising ways it works: - MB donates electrons to the electron transport chain (ETC) and increases ATP production. This effect can occur in the presence or absence of oxygen. Forgot how the ETC works? Watch this video (start at 1 minute). - MB enhances the function of cytochrome oxidase (complex IV), making it work faster and more efficiently. This leads to increased oxygen consumption and increased ATP production, especially in the most metabolically active cells like the nerve cells in memory regions of the brain! - MB stimulates glucose metabolism in conditions without oxygen and increases the amount of NAD + produced by mitochondria. The greater the amount of NAD+, the younger your cells remain/become due to sirtuin activation (see David Sinclair’s book Lifespan for more information). - In red blood cells, low dose MB changes the configuration of the iron (heme) in hemoglobin, the molecule in a red blood cell that carries oxygen. This improves the oxygen-carrying capacity of hemoglobin which leads to increased ATP production from the ETC. - Low dose MB also functions as a powerful antioxidant as it scavenges the mitochondria and cytosol for free electrons to accept and neutralize. On the macro level, this is how MB may be neuroprotective and even reverse skin damage (see below). - Low dose MB also has antidepressant effects, functioning as a monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor. Inhibiting MAO prevents monoamine neurotransmitter breakdown (dopamine, melatonin, and serotonin) which leads directly to increases in these neurotransmitters. - Low dose MB may also function as a cholinesterase inhibitor, increasing the amount of acetylcholine available, a neurotransmitter in the brain responsible for arousal, attention, memory, and motivation. - Low dose MB combined with certain spectrums of light (UV, primarily) may also be anti-infective against viruses. Amazingly, there are 4 distinct ways MB increases cellular energy (ATP) production, three of which are related to its direct effects on the mitochondria. Are you paying attention yet? Moderate to High Doses of Methylene Blue At moderate doses (4 to 10 mg/kg in most studies), MB becomes a pro-oxidant and facilitates the generation of singlet oxygen and peroxide radicals, especially in the presence of certain spectrums of light. This is likely the way MB works against septic shock (via nitric oxide synthase inhibition) and possibly in cancer treatment synergy. At high doses (>10 mg/kg), MB can have harmful oxidative effects. Are You Blue with Envy yet? Methylene Blue Research and Potential Indications The only FDA-approved treatment of MB is for a condition called methemoglobinemia where MB helps oxygen bind to hemoglobin. If hyperbaric oxygen therapy isn’t available, or if there are delayed symptoms, MB is also used for carbon monoxide poisoning secondary to its antioxidant and energy enhancing effects in the mitochondria. Outside of the FDA, MB has been shown in several non-human studies to be neuroprotective and improve many aspects of learning and memory. There is a wealth of animal data showing the impressive learning upgrades possible with MB. In a recent human study, a single low dose of oral MB was shown to increase functional magnetic resonance imaging activity during sustained attention and short-term memory tasks. It also improved memory retrieval. In short, it made study participants more focused and smarter. Kind of awesome, huh? More human trials are underway... and many n=1 studies too. :) One of the most promising areas of MB research is in neurodegenerative disease. Recent studies in animal models of Alzheimer's Disease have shown that MB may slow the formation of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. A pharmaceutical drug derived from MB has also shown benefits in both Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal dementia (Lewy Body Disease) and is currently in late-phase trials. There have also been several studies recently on the combination of MB and UV light killing various viruses. In addition, there is ongoing research in MB for brain injury, cancer, malaria, hepatitis C, various skin conditions like psoriasis, and many more. Methylene Blue Safety MB is a very safe drug, especially when taken at low doses and when purity/potency tested. The most common (and harmless… and awesome?) side effect of MB is blue urine. Because of the potential risk of serotonin syndrome (a life-threatening condition), do not combine MB with SSRIs, SNRIs, or drugs that increase serotonin levels except under the very close supervision of a provider. For all you psychonauts out there considering MB, certain psychedelic substances like MDMA and psilocybin increase serotonin and the vine in ayahuasca ceremonies has MAOI properties like MB... so be mindful of what you are stacking/ingesting and wait at least 24 hours before having MB and these compounds. Are you pregnant or breastfeeding? Please don’t take MB. It is contraindicated (e.g., it ain't good for the babies on board). At high doses (>10 mg/kg), MB may cause a litany of potential side effects including hypertension, methemoglobinemia (a condition it actually treats at low doses), dizziness, gastrointestinal distress, affect readings of a pulse oximeter, induce hemolytic anemia in patients with a genetic condition called G6PD, and more. Don't Drink Fish Tank Cleaner, Please! Go Beyond USP! Whatever you do... please do NOT drink fish tank cleaner. Although it has MB in it to treat fish fungal infections, fish tank MB is not only diluted with water to around 2% purity, it also contains a lot of impurities and heavy metals such as arsenic, aluminum, cadmium, and lead. Industrial- and chemical-grade MB can also consist of up to 11% of impurities as well. Your safest choice is USP (pharmaceutical grade) MB, but even that can have impurities. This is why it’s important not only to ensure your MB is USP but that it also has testing that documents its purity and potency. However, even USP-grade MB can contain the aforementioned impurities. This is why it’s important that the MB you are consuming comes with documentation of purity and potency along with a USP designation (Hint: This is what we do at Troscriptions + one more vital step!). At Troscriptions our MB is third-party tested by our manufacturer to ensure purity/potency, USP grade, AND independently tested AGAIN for purity/potency with each troche batch we make. This is why we call it Beyond USP MB. There are very few, if any other companies out there, with as rigorous a process as ours to ensure the highest quality possible. Troscriptions to the Rescue Blue Cannatine is formulated with 5 mg of MB + nicotine, caffeine, and hemp extract for a wide focus that launches your brain into git-er-done “limitless mode." All ingredients in this formula (and in all Troscriptions products) are precision dosed, physician formulated, and purity/potency tested. At the request of biohackers like you, Just Blue was developed. It is a 16 mg pure MB troche made with USP potency/purity tested MB. Dr. Ted likes to say that Just Blue functions as a brain health optimization supplement. It “powers you up like a gentle wind that lifts the glider wings of your brain for long and BRIGHT focus." Translation: Your brain is ON and it’s a smooth blue ride.

Do you want to add ClickFunnels conversion alerts to your site so you can increase conversions? ClickFunnels is one of the most effective software for selling your eCommerce products or services. It provides you with a proven method for obtaining new leads and generating profits from your website or email list. However, if you want even more profits, then you need to add new strategies to your ClickFunnels system. And one of the best additions you can make to your site is a ClickFunnels conversion alert. Today, we’re going to teach you step-by-step how to create a conversion notification for your website. These small alerts will be shown anytime someone makes a purchase in your funnel. But first, let’s talk about what a conversion alert is and why they’re so powerful. What Is a ClickFunnels Conversion Alert? A ClickFunnels conversion alert is a small notification that appears on your ClickFunnels website any time one of your visitors has made a purchase. The notification lets your visitors know that your products are being purchased by real customers and in real-time. And you’ve likely seen these conversion alerts before. Here’s the one we’ll be building today for ClickFunnels: These are really powerful. Showing your users that live purchases are being made on your site leverages FOMO (fear of missing out). It makes people wonder if they’re missing out on benefits other consumers are getting with your product. This motivates them to buy that product for themselves. As a result, you get more sales. In fact, TrustPulse has been proven to increase sales by up to 15%. That’s a big boost for such a small change to your website. So now that we’re clear on what conversion notifications are and why they’re effective, let’s look at how to make a ClickFunnel conversion alert for your website. Create a ClickFunnels Conversion Alert The first thing you need to do is sign up for a TrustPulse account. It’s totally free to get started and gives you up to 500 free sessions per month. Plus, when you choose to upgrade, it’s literally 1/8th the cost of our competitors. For more information, check out this review of FOMO vs. UseProof vs. TrustPulse. After you’ve signed up, you’ll be ready to get started. Step 1: Choose Your Conversion Campaign Type Once you’re in your TrustPulse dashboard, you’ll need to name your ClickFunnels conversion campaign and assign it to your website: Then it’s time to choose your campaign type. You have 2 options here: - Recent Activity Both of these campaigns are super effective in the right context. Recent Activity will show when an individual conversion took place on your website. When possible, it displays the name of the person who converted. If the customer’s name is unavailable, though, you’ll have the chance to decide how you want to refer to them: Recent Activity campaigns are perfect for everyday sales that occur on your site. On-Fire campaigns, on the other hand, will show you the number of people who converted on your website. These notifications look something like this: These work well when you have popular products, pre-orders, or flash sales, and you expect a large number of customers in a short amount of time. For our ClickFunnels conversion alert, we’ll choose a Recent Activity campaign. Once you’ve done that, click Next Step: Step 2: Design Your ClickFunnels Conversion Alert Now it’s time to design how your ClickFunnels conversion notification will appear to your site’s visitors. TrustPulse lets you customize your conversion notifications to the last detail, so you can make it fit your voice and brand. Plus, everything can be done with drop-down menus, a bit of text, or flipping a toggle switch. No coding required! You can modify your ClickFunnel conversion alert’s: - Visitor reference (when your customer’s name is unavailable) - Message text - Message link The message link is particularly important. You can link your conversion notification to the product that customers are actively purchasing. That way, your site’s visitors can have easy access when they decide they want to buy the product, too. Then you have a variety of advanced options that let you change your campaign’s: - Title text - Subtitle text - Footer text You can even change the colors to make sure everything matches your website. To give you an idea of the quick changes you can make, here’s a look at the default ClickFunnels conversion alert we showed earlier: And in just under 2 minutes, here are the changes we made to the same campaign: Again, the way you customize your conversion notification is totally up to you. Once you’ve designed a notification that has the look you’re going for, click Next Step. Step 3: Capture ClickFunnels Conversions Now it’s time to trigger your ClickFunnels conversion alert. By that, we mean that you need to set up your notification to appear any time someone makes a purchase. The good news is that this is super easy! To capture site activity, you have 2 options: AutoMagic will capture activities taken directly on your website. But the Zapier integration captures activities outside of your website from over 1,000 different sources. So, for example, you could show a notification any time someone leaves you a review on sites like Google My Business or Yelp. Even though nothing happened on your actual site, Zapier lets you capture that activity. For today, we need to use the Zapier integration for our ClickFunnels conversion notification. Click Zapier and then click Connect with Zapier: If you don’t have a Zapier account yet, don’t worry. It’s free and easy to use. You can sign up here. Once you click Connect with Zapier, a new window will open, inviting you to combine TrustPulse and Zapier: Scroll down and click Accept Invitation & Build a Zap: Once you’re in your dashboard, click Make a Zap: On the next page, type “ClickFunnels” in the search bar to find their integration with Zapier. Once you have, click on their app: Now you can select which type of conversion you would like to show. Though there are 3 activities to choose from, only 2 would be considered conversions: - New Contact Activity (when someone signs up to your email list, webinar event, and so on) - New Successful Purchase (when someone makes a purchase in your funnel) You can choose whichever type of conversion notification you would like for your website. For today’s tutorial, however, we’re going to choose New Successful Purchase to let users know when someone has made a purchase on your website. Click Continue, and you’ll be taken to the next phase, where you need to sign in to your ClickFunnels account: Once you’ve signed in, click Continue. Now you can select which purchase you would like to track and from which step in your funnel: At this point, you can test your trigger to make sure it works or simply choose to skip the test. Once you’re satisfied that your ClickFunnels purchase trigger works, click Continue to hook it up with TrustPulse. You’ll see a list of your Zapier apps. Click on TrustPulse: Now choose which action you want TrustPulse to take. This is easy because there’s only one choice: Create Notification: Click Continue and then select your TrustPulse account from the drop-down menu: Click Continue. Now you’ll be asked to select which notification you want to appear from your TrustPulse account. Choose your ClickFunnels conversion alert: And enter the email address from your TrustPulse account: This will be the email address that generates the notification, but your website visitors won’t see it. When you’re done, click Continue. You’ll now have the chance to test & review your conversion alert trigger. If it’s successful, you’ll see the following confirmation message: Finally, you’ll be able to flip a toggle switch to activate your Zap: You’ll see the status of your Zap as On in your dashboard: Now it’s time to head back to your TrustPulse dashboard and set your conversion notification’s display rules. Step 4: Display Your ClickFunnels Conversion Alert At this point, you’ve made your campaign look how you want it to. And you’ve also connected it to capture recent purchases on your ClickFunnels website. It’s time to determine when and where your notification will appear on your site. You can choose from the drop-down menu under the question, Where should we display your notifications? By default, your conversion alert will appear on any page: And while we’ll keep the default setting for this tutorial, it’s important you know that you can change this if needed. With just a few clicks, you can target specific pages of your website for the conversion alert to appear on. You can also change your notification’s display settings, including: - Delay before showing the first notification - How long your notification will appear (in seconds) - Delay between notifications TrustPulse allows you to easily determine when and where your conversion notifications appear on your site. That way, you can target your ClickFunnels conversion alerts to be the most effective. Ultimately, that means more sales for you. Once you’ve configured your display settings, click Next Step. Step 5: Publish Your Conversion Notification Now it’s time to publish your campaign. You’ll get to see a live preview of your campaign before launching it. That way, you can find any last-minute changes that need to be made: In some cases, your site may not be connected yet. If so, you’ll see this notification: Hooking up TrustPulse to your website is super easy. If you need help, check out whichever of these articles applies to your website’s platform: Once your site is connected, simply click Launch Your TrustPulse Campaign: And that’s it! Your ClickFunnels conversion alerts are ready to go. If you found this article interesting, you’d definitely benefit from checking out the following posts: - What Is a Good Conversion Rate?

With enactment of the economic recovery legislation, the nation is now embarking on a massive initiative to rebuild and expand our transportation system and infrastructure and create millions of jobs in a failing economy. This major investment in America’s failing infrastructure also presents a historic opportunity to embrace strong Buy America policies that will grow and sustain domestic manufacturing and the millions of jobs it supports. A strong transportation system and a strong U.S. manufacturing base are intrinsically linked. It is good economic policy to allocate massive public investments for the nation’s infrastructure and to do so with the use of U.S. steel, iron, concrete, and manufactured goods and equipment. Equally important, our domestic manufacturing capability must be ready to produce locomotives, rail cars, passenger buses, and other finished products that our private and public transportation employers will be purchasing in the next few years. It makes no sense, for example, to invest billions in transit systems, Amtrak and an expanded high speed rail network without also ensuring the locomotives, rail cars and buses are built in America with domestically produced equipment. Strong Buy America requirements, and strict enforcement of the rules, are a prerequisite for a robust domestic manufacturing industry, and transportation labor will insist that these requirements are followed in all transportation investment programs. Already, statutes governing various modal agencies within the Department of Transportation include Buy America provisions to ensure, to the extent possible, taxpayer funds are used to procure products made by U.S. workers. These statutes need to be improved to tighten waiver provisions and to provide accountability when awarding waivers of the Buy America requirement by posting all waiver requests online upon receipt and by publishing in the Federal Register a reasoned justification after a waiver has been granted. Waivers should be granted sparingly and only when truly warranted under the most narrow application. Federally funded projects should not be segmented by state or local governments to avoid the Buy America requirement, domestic products that could substitute should be considered before granting any waiver, and strict domestic content requirements must be applied. The recent inclusion of Buy America provisions in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (H.R. 1) build upon and expand existing federal law. Charges from opponents that Buy America preferences could lead to a trade war are disingenuous. Buy America provisions have been part of U.S. procurement policy for more than 70 years without provoking trade wars or global economic downturns. Most governments around the world promote the use of their domestic manufacturers when spending public funds for procurement purposes and for public works projects. While some countries, including the United States, have agreed to open their markets to foreign goods in the area of federal procurement under the WTO Government Procurement Agreement (GPA), signatories have carved out exceptions, and most countries — like China and Russia — have not undertaken any obligations under GPA. The United States expressly exempted federal grants to state and local governments for highway, mass transit and airport projects from its GPA obligations. Most other signatories to the GPA excluded significant sectors of their economies from coverage as well. For instance, countries in the European Union excluded all federal and sub-federal transportation, telecommunications, and energy contracts. So it is hardly a revolutionary idea for the United States government to use taxpayer dollars to support U.S. jobs and companies and their communities when investing in our transportation network. Yet even the Department of Homeland Security during the Bush Administration defied its own procurement rules and used Chinese steel products to build portions of the 854-mile border fence along the U.S.-Mexico border. And our Federal Highway Administration granted waivers when in fact there were substitutable domestic products available. Loose interpretations and the outright misuse of waivers must end. Transportation labor is committed to working with the President and Congress to rebuild America’s transportation infrastructure. As part of that effort we will urge policy leaders to strictly apply Buy America requirements, including those enacted in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, to ensure taxpayer dollars spent on transportation projects will be used to purchase U.S.-made materials, manufactured goods, and equipment for use in those projects to create jobs and help restore our declining U.S. manufacturing base. A robust manufacturing economy is an integral part of creating a safe, secure, and strong transportation network and transportation labor will insist that strong Buy America requirements are applied to all programs that invest federal resources in our transportation system and equipment.

Look Glamorous With Crazy Tops and Stylish Blazers Posted by printdress on March 11th, 2015 Perhaps the boys are getting hotter day by day, what with all those hair-gels and gym habits kicking in. Or maybe, it is the era of dominion of the female testosterone. Whatever be the cause, what we are witnessing is an age where the girls are not shying away from showing skin and try looking as desirable as possible. A string of new-age tops, shirts and blazers for women online has bombarded the society. There is no secret about the fact that online stores lure their customers by offering maddeningly high discounts. Plus, the collection is far richer and versatile than what we get offline. It is also easier to click the button of the mouse and fetch the outfits from your door as the courier boy bangs the bell. With the girls of today getting busier day by day, it makes sense to buy your stuff on the net than off it. So, isn't it time that you too discover the riches of the online world and buy tops for girls online India? The key to look good is to buy the kind of outfit in which you are comfortable. There is a handsome variety available these days. It is not necessary to straightaway slip into an extremely daring dress if you are not fully confident about it. One can always glam up step by step. Besides, there is a wrong notion that glamorous means to expose your body. Even a gown which covers you from neck to ankle can make you look glamorous provided it has an elegant quality about it. A lot also depends on the way a woman carries herself. If the attitude is right, even a formal blazer can be rocked to perfection. It is also a fact that the sales of blazers for women online have seen a dramatic rise in recent times due to their chic factor. A blazer complements a formal shirt and also a tank top. Besides, the diverse collections bombing the market these days have lent a lot of scope to a random young girl for experimenting.

The 2019 edition of the UCLG Congress, held in the South African city of Durban from 11 to 15 November, has provided local governments gathered in the framework of the UCLG Committee on Social Inclusion, Participatory Democracy and Human Rights (UCLG CSIPDHR) with a platform to advance many of their priorities and shared initiatives at a global level. Many events of the Congress offered meaningful windows of opportunity for UCLG constituency to debate on emerging topics in conjunction with civil society and human rights defenders. The Committee will seek to embed these discussions in the next horizon of the global municipal movement. The UCLG World Congress is the main gathering of the world constituency of local governments, convened by United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) every three years. On its 2019 edition, the Congress took place in Durban (South Africa), gathering more than 3.000 participants from across the world, including mayors, councilors, local government officials and representatives of national associations. The Congress was organized around four different tracks, with a view to give voice to different part of the constituency: members, regional sections, civil society and international partners (among which, most of the largest city networks). The Congress produced a relevant sum of outcomes and declarations, among which the Durban Political Declaration. More local stakeholders now engage in human rights and right to the city action Members of UCLG CSIPDHR identified the Congress as an opportunity to advance their policy priorities and shared initiatives within UCLG alongside civil society partners. In order to maximize their impact, several UCLG partners sharing work priorities on human rights and right to the city related issues hosted a shared stand for the whole Congress: The “Right to the City and Human Rights Hub”. The Hub was convened by the UCLG CSIPDHR, the City of Gwangju, the International Observatory on Participatory Democracy, the Mediterranean City-to-City Migration project, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Housing and the Global Platform for the Right to the City. A particularly relevant human rights discussion took place on the second day of the Congress, gathering mayors, councilors and municipal officers from Brasiléia, Caldes de Montbuí, Gwangju, Libreville, Mexico City, Montevideo, Plaine Commune and Sousse, as well as a representative from the Global Platform for the Right to the City. This meeting allowed to explore emerging topics for the constituency – such as women rights, non-discrimination or participatory democracy – as well as future priorities for networking. The right to the city framework was addressed in this discussion, but enjoyed a specific focus in the “UCLG Town Hall” session organized by the GPR2C. In this context, various mayors and councilors were able to hold an open conversation with civil society and social movements, on topics such as financialization and equality. A document containing policy recommendations was drafted by the GPR2C as a follow-up. In connection to these discussions, the IOPD organized a presentation of its next Conference, to be held in Iztapalapa (7-10 December). The Iztapalapa Conference will focus on the connection between participatory democracy and the right to the city in metropolitan contexts, especially by residents of peripheral cities. This topic was equally addressed in the Congress by the Forum of Peripheral Local Authorities (FALP) in a dedicated section about it. This session provided a follow-up to discussions held by the FALP after its Jerusalem Forum. Consolidating emerging thematic priorities Housing was a central topic in right to the city and human rights discussions, but was specifically addressed in the third day of the Congress through a Special Session. This event gathered both members of the “Cities for Adequate Housing” Declaration and local governments that were not familiar to this initiative yet had an interest to debate on this issue. Key messages on the right to housing in the Declaration were reinforced. The event also welcomed the UN Special Rapporteur on Adequate Housing, Leilani Farha. Rapporteur Farha also organized a local government consultation aimed at including the local government perspective to her last annual report. Migration was addressed with particular interest by members and partners alike. Many sessions, especially those organized by the UCLG migration team and partners in the MC2CM project, delivered emerging priorities by local governments on this topic, such as developing sound social inclusion mechanisms and to take action on non-discrimination. The Congress witnessed the second meeting of the UCLG Community of Practice on Migration, a Special Session on Migration and a presentation of the MC2CM project, among other events. The wide variety of topics explored throughout the Congress, as well as the interest raised by sessions organized by UCLG CSIPDHR and its partners, allowed the “Cities for Rights” movement to strengthen its visibility. The Committee provided a platform for holding and promoting discussions and collective action on several priority topics for members. It also showed its capacity to adapt and to connect discussions held in its framework to UCLG overall strategic priorities. The participation of new local governments and the opening up to new thematic discussions will allow to develop an even more far-reaching action plan for the next period.

At a distance of around 50 km from Udaipur, near the religious town of Nathdwara rests a village named Molela. Molela, also known as ‘potters village’ is quite popular for its unique art form called Molela Terracotta. A settlement of around 40 families belonging to a pottery background lives there. And almost every potter residing in the village has excelled the art of creating Molela terracotta. What is Terracotta? Terracotta is a ceramic material which is used in construction as well as decorative arts since ancient times in many of the cultures all around the world. The word terracotta can be translated as ‘Baked earth’ in English. It is formed from the natural clay which is why it has the characteristic reddish-brown color. The Potters of the Molela makes multiple kinds of terracotta which include devotional plaques, large panels, temple bells, domestic ware, etc. and out of all that, the hollow votive plaques is the most famous artistry. The art form generally depicts rural village scenes and charming visual narratives and culture of their everyday life. The inherent charm of these terracotta sculptures attract a plethora of buyers from different places but the demands for these plaques tend to be seasonal. Vessels and statues of the lord are required during the time of harvest or festive seasons. So, to sustain themselves during the lean months, the artisans turn themselves into farmers. The process of making Terracotta The process of making a terracotta can be divided into 3 steps: - Clay Preparation – the clay used to prepare the sculptures is sourced from local ponds and drains. There two types of clay – Nada, and Alu. Both the clays are mixed with each other along with 20% dried and sifted donkey dung. The clay is then wedged and kneaded by the feet and the hands respectively. This clay is then laid flat on the ground and evened out using water and wooden tools. This then works as the base surface of the sculpture. - Crafting – The wet clay is then cut into the desired shape using a stencil and measuring scale. Incarnations of Durga, Dashavatars, Shrinathji, Gauri nritya, scenes from Ramayana, and everyday village life is the most popular depiction in terracotta. Parts of these forms such as limbs, face, and body are made by the basic techniques such as squeezing, pinching and coiling. These parts are then attached to the wet clay to create a firm shape. Once, the figures get a firm shape, ornaments, eyes and other details are added to the sculpture. - Firing – The dried sculptures are then stacked in a circular opening meant for firing. This is the most convenient form of firing the sculptures. This kiln is constructed with bricks. The sculptures are loaded in the kiln on cow dung cakes and is sealed with a few layers of pottery shards. The temperature of the kiln is around 600-700 centigrade and the products are fired for a period of 4 to 6 hours. People of Molela ‘Murtikala’ is the art form which has been passed from generation to generation, getting evolved with generation. Amongst numerous artisans in the village, one of the pioneers of this art form is Mohanlal Chaturbuj Kumhar who has been practicing and teaching the art to his family members and other people of the village from around a decade. His sons, Dinesh and Rajendra has been actively involved in this craft work. For the same, Mohanlal Ji has been awarded several national and international awards. In 2012, he was awarded by the prestigious Padmshree award by the former president of India Ms. Pratibha Patil. Moreover, Mohanlal Ji founded an institution named ‘Mohan Terracotta Art Research & Development Centre’ to teach the people of the world, the unique art of Molela Terracotta.

We investigated the gas-phase chemical composition of biomass burning (BB) emissions and their role in aqueous secondary organic aerosol (aqSOA) formation through photochemical cloud processing. A high-resolution time-of-flight chemical ionization mass spectrometer using iodide reagent ion chemistry detected more than 100 gas-phase compounds from the emissions of 30 different controlled burns during the 2016 Fire Influence on Regional and Global Environments Experiment (FIREX) at the Fire Science Laboratory. Compounds likely to partition to cloudwater were selected based on high atomic oxygen-to-carbon ratio and abundance. Water solubility was confirmed by detection of these compounds in water after mist chamber collection during controlled burns and analysis using ion chromatography and electrospray ionization interfaced to high-resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Known precursors of aqSOA were found in the primary gaseous BB emissions (e.g., phenols, acetate, and pyruvate). Aqueous OH oxidation of the complex biomass burning mixtures led to rapid depletion of many compounds (e.g., catechol, levoglucosan, methoxyphenol) and formation of others (e.g., oxalate, malonate, mesoxalate). After 150 min of oxidation (approximatively 1 day of cloud processing), oxalate accounted for 13-16% of total dissolved organic carbon. Formation of known SOA components suggests that cloud processing of primary BB emissions forms SOA.

Also? In need of a job. As it turns out, horking up fireballs at work is the fast track to unemployment. See, in her family, spontaneous human combustion is genetic…like red hair, only, you know, fatal, and now it’s her turn to burn. Endre Felman has lived deep inside a mountain for centuries, adding to his hoard and looking for his mate. Meeting Adara before she goes up in smoke gives him hope, but convincing her dragons are real, that he’s the dragon of her heart, and keeping her alive through what’s to come proves to be more difficult than he ever imagined. In the end, they may both burn to ash because no dragon lives forever without love. No cliffhanger. HEA ending. Uncaged Review: This is a short read and quite an original take on the dragon shifter world. Adara is starting to burp up fireballs, and believes that it won’t be long and she will follow in her past relatives shoes and burn to death with spontaneous human combustion, but the problem is getting worse…lucky for her, Endre finds her – but she will need to believe before he can save them both. Even in the relatively short amount of space this story takes place in, the reader gets a good feel for the characters and their world. The epilogue in the back sealed the story up nicely.

Action for Peacekeeping: Digital transformation underway in UNFICYP In December, UNFICYP became the first United Nations peacekeeping mission to receive enhanced situational awareness capabilities with the launch of the Unite Aware technical platform and redesign of the Joint Operations Centre. Designed to enhance the near real-time data capabilities of missions, Unite Aware consolidates existing systems into a single point of access for mission personnel. It incorporates patrol planning, incident reporting, real-time asset tracking and multilayer mapping tools in a user-friendly interface. The platform was well-received by Mission personnel at training sessions, with John Culleton, an Assistant Sector Civil Affairs Police Liaison Officer, remarking: “It is very user-friendly, and the access to the information available is a lot easier to obtain than in the current system. Where before you would need a screen for every application in support of data entry and cross-comparison/integration, now the information is easier to obtain without having to go search for it.” Captain Gaston Figueras, one of UNFICYP’s Military Observer and Liaison Officers, highlighted the platform’s capacity to “significantly improve and reduce the time it takes to make different reports,” with the new system meaning that “all the steps for the elaboration of the reports and info-reports are even simpler and faster since you can create a map in a short period because the map is already integrated.” To ensure its smooth implementation, the Mission also counted on support from the Field Technology Service and the Engineering section. David Wilkins, Chief of FTS, stated that: “Unite Aware brings a unified, centralised UN standard common operating picture and integrated data platform that will truly benefit all mission components to meet their mandated activities. Mission Support is fully supporting this initiative through leveraging and unifying current and future technologies into this platform. The collaborative effort in delivering a state-of-the-art Joint Operations Centre is testament to our commitment to this initiative.” Unite Aware’s roll-out is part of peacekeeping’s Enhancing Situational Awareness programme. This innovation initiative aims to improve the situational awareness capabilities of missions, as prioritised in the Strategy for the Digital Transformation of UN Peacekeeping. Following the handover of responsibilities to mission staff, the Situational Awareness Team will turn its attention to future implementations of the programme – exploring potential deployments of the Unite Aware platform to other peacekeeping missions. The vision for deeper internal capacities and exposure to new technologies comes as part of the Action for Peacekeeping Plus (A4P+) initiative. The overarching goal of this digital transformation is to enable UNFICYP to implement its mandate more effectively and to enhance the safety and security of peacekeepers by harnessing the potential of digital technologies as well as mitigate risks, while positioning peacekeeping to continue to evolve in its use of technology.

TikTok is the new behemoth in the social media world and it holds incredible potential for brands of all sizes. If you’re looking to get your products in front of your target audience and drive conversions at scale, TikTok advertising is the only tool you need. But what results should you expect to see from your campaigns? Are the numbers you need to hit realistic? And how does your current performance stack up against industry averages? In this article, we’ll walk you through all things TikTok benchmarks, giving you a baseline to motivate your team and drive future performance. Let’s jump in. As a specialist TikTok ads agency we can help you with your campaigns just get in touch for a free consultation. What are Benchmarks for TikTok Ads? Benchmarks are a crucial part of any marketing strategy, and TikTok advertising is no exception. Benchmarks are a set of metrics used by marketers as an indication of past performance, so they can judge how their strategies are performing against competitors. Some of the most commonly-used metrics for TikTok benchmarks include: Click-through rate (CTR): this is calculated by dividing the number of clicks an ad receives by the number of impressions the ad gets (the number of times it’s shown), then multiplying the result by 100. Cost per click (CPC): this is used to measure the cost you pay each time someone clicks on your ad. On Pay-Per-Click (PPC) platforms like Google Ads, this is usually a fixed amount. However, on platforms like TikTok where you typically pay for impressions, the higher your CTR, the lower your CPC. This serves as an important measure of advertising effectiveness and cost efficiency. Cost per Mille (CPM): “Mille” is Latin for “thousand”. So, Cost per Mille shows the amount you have to spend in order to get 1,000 ad impressions (the number of times the ad is viewed). CPM can be calculated by dividing the total cost of your TikTok advertising campaign by the total number of impressions it receives. CPM is usually used in display and video advertising to show how a campaign is performing at scale. Conversion Rate (CVR): This is one of the most used metrics in digital marketing. It’s used to measure the overall effectiveness of an ad campaign, landing page, email, or piece of content with the goal of driving action. CVR is calculated by taking the number of conversions by the total number of content views (typically clicks or visits), then multiplying the result by 100 to get the CVR percentage. A high conversion rate indicates strong-performing content. Return on Ad Spend (ROAS): this is a metric used in TikTok advertising to quantify the value of conversions driven from an ad campaign against the amount spent on the ads. It’s similar to ROI, but is usually shown as a decimal. For example, a 167% ROI would be shown as a 1.67 ROAS. Engagement rate (ER): this is a metric used on TikTok to measure the number of people who are interacting with your content. This includes commenting, liking, sharing and adding to favourites. The Importance of Benchmarks Benchmarks are crucial to tracking the performance of your TikTok advertising campaigns. Some of the reasons marketers set benchmarks for their TikTok ads include: - Goal setting: by establishing benchmarks, you’ll have a standard point of reference which you can use to measure the performance of your campaigns. This will help you to set specific, realistic and achievable goals for future marketing efforts. - Performance measurement: benchmarks give you a clear way of measuring the success of your campaigns. They allow you to compare your current performance not just against your previous results, but also against industry and competitor standards, giving you valuable insight into how well your campaigns are performing. - Identifying areas for improvement: by stacking up your results against benchmarks, you’ll be able to see clearly where you have room to improve. - Better decision making: By showing you the return you’re getting for your time investment, they’ll help you to make better decisions moving forward. - Fresh motivation and accountability: Benchmarks are a brilliant way of motivating marketing teams, as well as holding team members accountable for the results of their campaigns. If you’re advertising or pushing organic content on TikTok, benchmarks are going to help you boost performance and gain an advantage over your competitors. TikTok CTR Benchmarks in 2023 CTR gives you an understanding of how relevant your ad is to your audience, as well as how engaging it is, by showing the percentage of viewers who click through to the next stage in your funnel. TikTok doesn’t release data on platform-wide CTRs, but based on an average of sources across the internet, you should aim for a CTR of 1.5% on your In-Feed Ads. Once you’ve hit that, set your sights for campaigns that drive over 2% and you’ll see your cost-per-acquisition decrease significantly. Note: If you’ve got the budget to spend on Takeover or Top-View Ads, which are more expensive than In-Feed Ads, you should shoot for a higher CTR of 14% and 8.5% respectively. Conversion Rate Benchmarks in 2023 Conversion rate is arguably one of the most important benchmarks for TikTok Ads, and it’s the one many marketers will look to as a means of judging their campaign success. There are endless factors which can influence the conversion rate of a TikTok campaign which can make standard benchmark figures a little misleading. However, you should aim for a conversion rate of around 3.5%. US lifestyle brand Nolan Bros managed to hit this number with their In-Feed Ads campaign, which was focused on driving high-quality traffic to their site to maximise conversions. By using cold advertising to gather data for retargeting, Nolan Bros managed to achieve a 3.4% CVR overall, with an impressive $0.21 CPC. CPM Benchmarks in 2023 Much like CTR and CR, there’s an endless amount of factors that can influence your CPM on TikTok. These include: - Audience: the demographics of your audience, including age and interest - Geolocation: the location of your audience, because CPMs generally scale in line with audience purchasing power. - Ad quality: the higher the quality of your ad, the lower your CPC and CPM. - Time of year: CPM varies depending on the time of year, with the highest costs coming in around the holiday season. - Ad placement: Different ad placements on TikTok can impact your CPM. - Campaign goal: TikTok values the reach of certain campaign goals higher than others. If you’re aiming to drive traffic, your CPM will be lower than if you’re focusing purely on conversions. From trawling data across the web, we’ve seen CPMs as low as $2 for beauty and lifestyle, and as high as $20,000 for industries like legal. It’s important to bear in mind that a higher CPM isn’t always a bad thing, as it can be a sign that you’re reaching a more relevant audience. Your ultimate goal with TikTok ads should be your conversion rate and ROAS, so try to focus your attention on those benchmarks over CPM. ROAS Benchmarks in 2023 ROAS is a more detailed stat than conversion rate, because it takes into account the value of the sales your ads have generated. Key factors that can influence your ROAS on TikTok include: - Ad quality: your creative will be one of the biggest influencers on your ROAS. - Target audience: the more dialled in your targeting, the higher ROAS you’ll see. - Perceived value: if you can clearly demonstrate the value your audience will get from your product or service, you’re likely to achieve a higher ROAS. - Pricing strategy: Test your pricing to find the sweet spot between conversions and profit margin. - Customer Lifetime Value (CLTV): Focus your funnel on more than just acquisition. If you can drive a second sale via email automation, your ROAS will dramatically improve. - Landing page quality: well-designed landing pages that match the context and form of the ads they’re linked to produce higher ROAS. We’ve mentioned that a decent conversion rate on TikTok is 3.5%, but you should aim for a ROAS of 3 or above to make sure you’re left with enough margin after costs to make TikTok ads a profitable and scalable channel. CPC Benchmarks in 2023 The minimum CPC available on TikTok is as low as $0.02, but unless you’re giving away free money, you’ll need to set your sights a little higher than this. In 2023, the average CPC on TikTok sits at around £0.39-£0.80. That means, with a monthly ad spend of £3,000, you should expect to drive between 3,750-7,700 visitors to your website each month. If you can hit a 3.5% conversion rate as we mentioned above, that should generate anywhere from 135-270 sales. At an Average Order Value of £40, this would drive around £5,0000-£10,000 in revenue. Engagement Rate Benchmarks in 2023 TikTok is the new kid on the block and the go-to for many marketers because of its extreme engagement potential, where users are dialled in and ready to engage with the video content you put in front of them. Find the right content type or jump on the right trend, and your content can quickly go viral. Depending on your following, you should expect to see between 3% and 9% engagement rate on TikTok. If you’re performing under 3%, it’s worth taking steps to improve your content. How to Improve TikTok Ad Performance While TikTok holds incredible potential for brands, simply being on the platform doesn’t guarantee success. So, if after launching your campaigns you don’t manage to hit the benchmarks we’ve shared above, take the following steps to improve your performance: - Dial in your audience If your audience targeting isn’t on-point, you’re spending budget to get your ads seen by people who aren’t relevant to your offering. So, if your ads are underperforming, the first step you need to take is to dial in your audience. This comes twofold – persona building, then targeting. First off, you need to map out who your ideal customer is, and what they look like in demographic form. How old are they, what are their motivators, what problems do they face – all of this is powerful ammunition for your advertising strategy. Next, it’s time to adapt that demographic to audience targeting. For example, if you’re trying to target gym lovers, testing an age group from 18-35 with fitness-related interests will be a good starting point. - Polish your creative TikTok is first and foremost an entertainment platform, and your ad creatives need to follow that theme, too. Jump on popular TikTok trends, use trending audio in your ads, or harness the power of storytelling and humour to grab your audience’s attention. Keep your ads short and snappy, with fast transitions every few seconds to keep your audience watching. - A/B test continuously As with any advertising platform, you can’t take a set-and-forget approach to your TikTok campaigns. If you want them to work, you’ll need to continuously test and optimise to improve performance. Try out fresh creatives, split-test your landing pages, and trial different TikTok ad formats to see what moves the needle in the right direction. Repeat this process regularly to move your campaign performance in the right direction. - Partner with influencers TikTok has a built-in creator marketplace which makes finding relevant influencers a breeze. By partnering with creators on TikTok, you can get engaging, authentic content for your ads that shows real people experiencing your products. This User Generated Content is a powerful tool for selling and holds significant conversion potential. If you want to motivate creators to promote your products, TikTok also has a native affiliate platform. This allows you to offer creators a commission on each sale they drive, with an interface that tracks the entire process – from sample requests all the way through to content creation and conversions.

Trump Called Veterans & POWs ‘Losers’ & ‘Suckers,’ Top Military Leaders Say On Thursday, The Atlantic released a report from anonymous military sources that President Donald Trump called Americans who die in wars “losers” and “suckers.” The White House has been quick to refute this report, but Trump’s own words from 2015 belie the denial. In 2015, Trump said on camera that the late Sen. John McCain is “not a war hero. He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.” The McCain was a prisoner of war for over five years during the Vietnamese War in rough conditions, beaten and tortured at prison camps. “The Atlantic Magazine is dying, like most magazines, so they make up a fake story in order to gain some relevance,” Trump said on Twitter on Friday. He acknowledged that he was “never a big fan of John McCain” but denied that he ever called him a “loser.” Trump swore on “whatever, or whoever, I was asked to swear on, that I never called our great fallen soldiers anything other than HEROES. This is more made up Fake News given by disgusting & jealous failures in a disgraceful attempt to influence the 2020 Election!” A week of political news in your in-box. We find the news you need to know, so you don't have to. Trump further attempted to take credit for McCain’s funeral by saying that he had to approve the first class funeral and that he did so “without hesitation or complaint.” However, according to three sources in The Atlantic article, Trump told his senior staff that “we’re not going to support that loser’s funeral.” Trump was not invited to the funeral. Trump had actually called McCain a loser, albeit in the context of losing an election. The Atlantic story attributed Trump’s cancellation of a visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery in 2018 was because “he feared his hair would become disheveled.” Fox News countered that the next day, Trump stood outside in the rain at a different cemetery, honoring fallen veterans. Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden stated that “If the revelations in today’s Atlantic article are true, then they are yet another marker of how deeply President Trump and I disagree about the role of the President of the United States.” Leave a comment Get the most-revealing celebrity conversations with the uInterview podcast!

February 22, 2022 Construction is historically an environmentally damaging industry. As the fight against climate change gains momentum, the sector must embrace more sustainable practices. Materials manufacturing is an easily overlookable but critical part of that transformation. Many efforts to reduce construction’s environmental impact prioritize on-site improvements. While zero-emissions equipment and waste reduction strategies are crucial, sustainability is complex, involving far more factors than construction work itself. The manufacturers that produce building materials must also improve for the industry to become truly sustainable. Material Manufacturing’s Role in Construction Sustainability Construction is responsible for 38% of greenhouse gas emissions globally. Some of that comes from building operations after construction, but embodied carbon – emissions from the construction process – is a considerable part of it. Likewise, materials account for a significant portion of embodied carbon. Manufacturing common construction materials typically involves considerable energy expenditure. Since most energy today comes from fossil fuels, that translates into substantial greenhouse gas emissions. As a result, 23% of global emissions come from steel, aluminum, and concrete alone. While not all of that goes to construction, much of it does. Reducing construction’s carbon footprint means reducing embodied carbon, and much of that falls to material manufacturers. Thankfully, several new solutions have emerged for these manufacturers to improve their sustainability. Here are six possible ways material manufacturing can reduce construction’s environmental impact. Using Recycled Materials in Concrete One of the most critical materials to address is concrete. Cement – concrete’s main ingredient – is responsible for 8% of CO2 emissions, and concrete remains one of the most popular materials in the industry. One way manufacturers can reduce concrete’s carbon footprint is to incorporate recycled materials in its production. Many plastics are easily recyclable, and manufacturers can use these as filler in concrete. Drying and pulverizing plastics creates a fine powder ideal for this application, and using more of it will reduce how much cement manufacturers use. Consequently, cement’s large carbon footprint doesn’t affect concrete’s footprint as drastically. Alternatively, materials manufacturers can use old concrete from demolition rubble as an aggregate for mixing new concrete. This may provide more strength than plastics while still reducing demand for new cement. Novel Cement Alternatives Another way to mitigate cement’s carbon footprint is to replace it entirely. Manufacturers can transition to producing cement-free concrete instead, helping the construction industry move away from environmentally damaging materials. Several novel materials offer comparable strength to traditional concrete without its high carbon footprint. Ferrock, a combination of iron dust, fly ash, metakaolin, and limestone, is one of the most promising alternatives. This material is five times stronger than cement, is far more flexible, and doesn’t carry cement’s environmental cost. Nearly all its components can come from recycled waste from standard construction processes. The downside to these new materials is their limited accessibility, which also typically means high prices. However, as demand for green building materials rises, these concerns will fade, and cement alternative production can scale up. Hydrogen-Powered Steel Mills Some solutions have less to do with the actual material in question and more with its production. Metals like steel are near-endlessly recyclable, but smelting them – even from recycled materials – involves considerable energy consumption. Some steel mills have addressed this by transitioning to clean energy like hydrogen. In 2021, a Swedish metal company became the first to produce fossil fuel-free steel, using hydrogen as its sole power source. Since hydrogen produces no carbon emissions when it burns, it’s an ideal alternative to natural gas, coal, and other fossil fuels. While many facilities today use fossil fuels to extract pure hydrogen, this company relied on green hydrogen. Green hydrogen uses renewable energy sources like wind and solar to power the hydrogen extraction process. That way, the fuel is entirely emissions-free, from production to end-use. Considering steel accounts for 9% of CO2 emissions, transitioning to green hydrogen could substantially impact construction’s sustainability. Material origins are another easy-to-overlook factor that plays into embodied carbon. Transportation is responsible for 29% of greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S., so transporting raw materials across vast distances is environmentally harmful. Relying on more local sources can help material manufacturers reduce these emissions. If manufacturing processes happen closer to the mines where their raw materials come from, they’ll require less transportation. This will both improve costs and reduce transport-related emissions. Naturally, not every facility can be close to every type of mine, so manufacturers must also consider what’s available in their area. Facilities could analyze what resources are closest to them to find what materials they could produce to minimize transportation emissions. This will likely result in initial disruption and increased specialization, but the environmental benefits could be substantial. Another alternative with promising environmental benefits is cross-laminated timber (CLT). CLT involves gluing layers of wood together at alternating 90-degree angles. This lamination technique makes the lumber far stronger than traditional planks, making it a potential replacement for concrete and steel structures. While logging isn’t emissions-free, it generates far less greenhouse gas emissions than steel or concrete production. Trees can also regrow quickly enough to be a renewable resource, especially if manufacturers source from sustainable tree farms. Wood is also a natural carbon sink. One five-story lumber building can store 180 kilograms of carbon per square meter. CLT lets manufacturers provide those environmental benefits while avoiding wood’s traditional weaknesses. Producing this material would help encourage the construction industry to embrace more sustainable building practices. Nanotechnology, which deals with materials less than 100 nanometers in size, also shows environmental potential. At this tiny scale, materials can exhibit unusual physical and chemical properties, such as becoming stronger or better at conducting heat. These properties can make some materials more eco-friendly. For example, using nano-clay in brick production can make bricks 4.8 times stronger than traditional options. Bricks could then become a more reliable construction material for larger projects, helping construction move away from materials with larger carbon footprints like steel and concrete. Concrete with nanoparticle-based aggregates is more easily recyclable, helping reduce the industry’s reliance on virgin cement. Similarly, nanoparticles can make steel more corrosion-resistant, letting even recycled steel last longer and reducing the need for fresh metal. Green Construction Starts With Materials Manufacturing The construction industry has a long road ahead of it before it can call itself truly sustainable. Materials manufacturing will prove an essential part of that journey, as buildings’ embodied carbon must decline. If materials manufacturers embrace these sustainability initiatives, they can help the construction sector remediate some of its longest-standing problems. These six solutions are not a definitive list, but are some of the most promising answers to material manufacturing’s sustainability challenges. As going green becomes increasingly important, materials manufacturers should consider these options and similar paths to reduce their products’ embodied carbon.

I am designing a map using Google Maps API that allows a potential company to check off boxes based on skill set (currently active), interest areas, and languages. Each column will have around 15-30 checkboxes. Before programming further, I wanted to get some opinions on an elegant way to handle multiple columns of checkboxes. Take a look at the current implementation here: http://dreaminginswahili.com/admin/mapv4.html Or this picture: Remember, after the skill menu, I'm going to have another column that has checkboxes of interest areas, and another that has checkboxes of languages. I can't conceive of a way to beautifully render these data choices though. Maybe a scrolling window on the right pane? Second problem: There are simply too many languages to enumerate all of them. What's a better way to conveniently select languages of interest?

iPhone: Apple wants to develop satellite connections for its devices Which Apple Always look out for future technologies is a given. The home of Cupertino has shown a willingness to invest in different sectors of the market, and after TV and a tentative approach to gaming, the next step will be space. Yes that’s right, Apple is preparing to invest in a new business that is slowly beginning to take its first steps in the phone industry and the network in general, namely satellites. According to the report by Bloomberg, the company has reportedly already put together a team of engineers, still small, but already capable of beginning to take the first steps in developing a data transmission system that could allow multiple satellites to be connected with attached Apple family devices, such as iPhone e iWatch. The project is still in the early stages of study, and at the moment there are still many doubts hovering in the air: will Apple rely on other external satellites, or will it develop new and proprietary ones specifically to host the communication systems that will then be used by the company. The’goal is obviously to make users less and less dependent on telco operators, making them more independent by taking advantage of satellite communication, going for improved geolocation systems, while also going against traditional wireless networks.

Are you a Star Wars fan wondering if Rogue One is worth watching? Well, in short, the answer is yes. But let’s dive into the details and explore why. What is Rogue One? Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is a stand-alone movie set in the Star Wars universe that takes place just before the events of Episode IV: A New Hope. The story follows a group of rebels who band together to steal the plans for the Death Star, a superweapon capable of destroying entire planets. The Cast and Characters One of the highlights of Rogue One is its diverse and talented cast. Felicity Jones leads as Jyn Erso, a tough and resourceful rebel who becomes the driving force behind the mission to steal the Death Star plans. Diego Luna plays Cassian Andor, a rebel intelligence officer who joins forces with Jyn, along with an eclectic group of characters including K-2SO (voiced by Alan Tudyk), a reprogrammed Imperial droid; Chirrut Îmwe (Donnie Yen), a blind warrior monk; Baze Malbus (Jiang Wen), Chirrut’s protector; and Bodhi Rook (Riz Ahmed), an Imperial pilot turned rebel. Rogue One offers a fresh perspective on the Star Wars universe by focusing on characters outside of the Skywalker family tree. The storyline is gritty, intense, and emotionally charged. The stakes are high from beginning to end as our heroes face incredible odds against an oppressive Empire led by Darth Vader himself. The film also provides context for some of the events that take place in A New Hope. For example, we finally see how Princess Leia got her hands on those all-important Death Star plans that set off her iconic message to Obi-Wan Kenobi. Visually, Rogue One is stunning. The film features some of the most impressive special effects and action sequences in the entire Star Wars franchise. From the opening scenes on a stormy planet to the final battle above Scarif, Rogue One delivers an epic and immersive cinematic experience. In conclusion, Rogue One is a Star Wars movie that is definitely worth watching. It offers a unique perspective on the Star Wars universe while still delivering the epic action and adventure fans have come to love. So grab some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy the ride!

Compositing in video editing is the process of layering multiple visual elements, such as images, videos, and graphics, on top of each other to create a final image or video. It’s a technique that has been used in film and television for decades, but with the rise of digital technology, it has become more accessible to amateur filmmakers and content creators. How does compositing work? Compositing works by combining different elements together in a way that makes them appear as if they’re part of the same scene. For example, if you wanted to create a video of a superhero flying through the air, you might start by filming an actor against a green screen (a solid-colored background) and then use compositing software to replace the green screen with a background of clouds or cityscapes. What tools are used for compositing? There are several software programs that are commonly used for compositing in video editing. Adobe After Effects is one of the most popular options among professionals, but there are also free alternatives like Blender and Natron that can be used by amateurs. - Adobe After Effects: This software is widely used in the film and television industry for its advanced features like motion tracking and 3D tracking. - Blender: This open-source software is free to download and can be used for both 2D and 3D compositing. - Natron: Another open-source option that offers similar features to After Effects but with a simpler interface. The Benefits of Compositing Compositing offers several benefits when it comes to video editing. One of the biggest advantages is that it allows filmmakers to create scenes that would be impossible or too expensive to film in real life. For example, compositing can be used to create complex special effects like explosions, alien landscapes, or even entire virtual worlds. Another benefit of compositing is that it allows for flexibility in post-production. If a mistake was made during filming, such as a boom mic appearing in the shot, it can be easily removed through compositing. Additionally, compositing can be used to adjust lighting and color correction to make the final product look more polished and professional. Compositing is a powerful tool that can take your video editing skills to the next level. Whether you’re creating a short film or a promotional video for your business, adding visual elements through compositing can make your content more engaging and visually appealing. So don’t be afraid to experiment with different software programs and techniques to find what works best for you!

Video Quality 720p: Everything You Need to Know If you have ever streamed a video online, you might have come across the term ‘720p’. But what does it mean? In this article, we will explore what video quality 720p is, how it works, and its advantages over other video qualities. What is Video Quality 720p? Video quality 720p refers to the resolution of a video. It means that the video has 1280 horizontal pixels and 720 vertical pixels. The ‘p’ in 720p stands for progressive scan, which means that each line of the image is displayed one after another. This results in a smoother and clearer image than interlaced scanning. How Does It Work? When you watch a video with 720p quality, each frame comprises of over 900,000 pixels. These pixels are responsible for creating the image that you see on your screen. The more pixels there are, the sharper and more detailed the image will be. To put it in perspective, imagine watching a movie on VHS tape or DVD with standard definition (SD) quality. The maximum resolution for SD is usually around 480 horizontal pixels and 360 vertical pixels. You can imagine that watching something in HD would be quite an improvement! Advantages of Video Quality 720p There are several advantages to watching videos with 720p quality: - Crisper Image: As mentioned earlier, the more pixels there are in an image, the sharper and clearer it will be. With over double the number of pixels as standard definition (SD), videos with a resolution of 720p provide a much crisper image. - Better Viewing Experience: Watching videos with high-quality visuals can make for a much better viewing experience than watching something with a lower resolution. With 720p quality, you can see more details and experience more vibrant colors. - Compatibility: Most modern devices support 720p quality, from smartphones to laptops to TVs. This means that you can easily watch videos with this resolution on various devices without any compatibility issues. In conclusion, video quality 720p refers to the resolution of a video with 1280 horizontal pixels and 720 vertical pixels. It provides a much crisper image than standard definition, resulting in a better viewing experience. With its compatibility across various devices, it’s no wonder why many people prefer watching videos with this resolution.

Family is a central theme in Philippine culture and traditions. Extensive people frequently share a home with their great-grandparents, grandparents, and also aunts and uncles. The value placed on household is moreover demonstrated by the way Filipinos take care of their aging families rather than placing them in a nursing house. It is also a key cause why nurses and caretakers from the Philippines are known to be very empathetic. Particularly if they are married, girls have a significant impact on the household. They may make all significant family decisions, manage the finances, and serve as religious coaches. They make wonderful ladies and caretakers because of their warm and caring dynamics. In many Filipino homes, there is a designated spot or temple where people can worship, engage in religious observances filipino migration to us, and pay their respects. This encourages a family’s feel of spirituality. Filipinos use laughter as a crucial sociable ability to convey joy and happiness. Additionally, they employ it to lessen pressure or strain. They does exercise caution when using laugh as a form of censure or attack, as it may offend. A figure-eight rope of cohesion known as a yugal is tied around the couple’s shoulders during wedding ceremonies to represent their enduring union. The current Filipino bridal furthermore includes personalized commitments and the trade of bracelets, both of which are influenced by Western customs. A picturesque addition to the event, the discharge of doves or butterflies symbolizes tranquility and fresh beginnings.

VMCLI Donates to Veterinarians International Dear Veterinary Medical Center of Long Island, As the Founding President of Veterinarians International, I would like to personally thank you for making our work possible. Your kindness this past year supported our GAAP/VI veterinary clinic protecting South America’s only temperate rainforest, the building of a National Veterinary Training and Humane Education Program for Kenya, and vital veterinary services for baby elephants and wildlife in Sri Lanka. Your generosity enabled us to look beyond the challenges of the COVID 19 pandemic and serve some of our planet’s most ecologically sensitive regions, preserving biodiversity and preventing suffering. Thank you again for your donation and commitment to Veterinarians International. With deepest gratitude, Dr. Scarlett Magda, Founding President Helping Animals. Healing the Planet. VMCLI Performs Free Surgery “A specialist from New York said, ‘Don’t put him down. We can help this cat!'” Klug said. The surgery would typically cost about $2,500 — funds Klug didn’t have — but Noelle La Croix, a veterinary ophthalmologist, agreed to come in on her day off to do the surgery for free, and Klug held a small fundraiser in Selkirk to help pay for the materials. AVDC Service Dog Oral Health Exam The AVDC Service Dog Oral Health Exam program is a philanthropic event provided to the Service Dog public by board certified veterinary dentists of the American Veterinary Dental College. If your Service Dog qualifies, it would receive a complimentary oral health screening exam in June to help identify any problems that may affect the dog’s oral comfort and health. Our veterinary dentists understand the tremendous daily contribution Service Dogs make to the lives of individuals and to all of us as a society. In return, we want assist in these efforts, by assuring that the Service Dogs can have pain free and healthy mouths. - To promote oral health awareness in Service Dogs by providing oral exams during June. - To identify painful oral disease and provide treatment options to alleviate pain, and - To benefit those who rely on Service Dogs by teaching preventative oral care in order to provide their dogs pain, free, healthy mouths. - To enhance referral relationships with primary care veterinarians. The mission of the AVDC Service Dog Oral Health Exam is to promote oral health awareness in service dogs in order to prevent and relieve pain, which will benefit, not only the service dog, but all the people they serve every day. The AVDC Service Dog Oral Health program will provide free oral health screening to Service Dog groups including seeing eye dogs, hearing dogs, handicapped assistance dogs, detection dogs, search and rescue dogs and for certified therapy dogs (through the Delta Society or similar). Dogs must be active working dogs that are certified by an organization or are currently enrolled in a formal training program. The certifying agency must be regional or local. Essentially, the dogs need to have some form of certification and/or training paperwork from an agency to qualify for this program. While we would like to offer complimentary oral exams to all dogs performing assistance to their owners/handlers, this program is limited to the groups listed above. There are limited appointments available to examine these animals therefore a specific group has been defined. How will this work? Owners/handlers of the dog will register the animal via an online registration form. Once registered, the owner/handler will be given a confirmation and list of participating dentists in their area. The owners/handlers call a participating office to schedule an appointment and provide the registration number to the clinic which will be given on the confirmation form. This process is included on the registration form. Appointment Dates and Time Appointment dates and times will vary based on the availability of exams offered by each clinic. The clinic sets the schedule for exams for certain set days, select times on specific days, or during times of their choice during the month of June. Identify yourself as participating in the AVDC Service Dog Oral Health Exam and provide the registration number given on your confirmation form. The appointment will be set by the clinic at that time. Some clinics may request that you present certification of the Service Dog’s formal training. Be sure to ask if this is needed at the time of appointment scheduling. Once the owner/handler has registered the Service Dog, they are asked to respect the dentist’s time and show up for the appointment. Arriving on time is essential in allowing as many Service Dogs to receive exams as scheduled. What should I expect during the appointment? The complimentary oral health exam is of a screening nature. No sedation or anesthesia will be given. Factors that limit our ability to detect every dental or oral problem in your dog may include: - Lack of patient cooperation can impair proper visualization, especially of the back of the mouth - Many periodontal problems can be detected only by probing under the gum with a dental instrument with the dog under anesthesia, - Dental tartar can hide underlying cavities or fractures. If any problems are found at the time of the exam or if additional tests are needed (e.g. dental x-rays, periodontal exam under anesthesia, etc.), the dental specialist will present options to best treat your Service Dog. A copy of the exam form will be given to you to give to your primary care veterinarian. Data collected on each dog will remain private and be utilized for research purposes only. How do I participate? Step 1: Registration. If your Service Dog qualifies, register on-line. If you do not register, you cannot participate in the program. Step 2: Locating a clinic. Once you have registered, the confirmation page will provide you with a link to a page that will provide a list of participating clinics. (Clinics may not be available in every state.) Step 3: Scheduling After locating the clinic you would like to visit, call the office directly, identify yourself as participating in the Service Dog Oral Health Exam program and make an appointment. Dates and times will vary from clinic to clinic throughout June. We suggest you register in early May to ensure a better chance of securing an appointment at your Service Dog. Slots are limited, and those that wait to register may find it difficult to find a clinic that has filled all appointments for this program. There are no “rain checks”. Step 4: Visit Visit the dentist at the appointed time. Please call ahead if you will be late or have to cancel your appointment. Step 5: After the Exam After your Service Dog’s oral exam is complete, your veterinary dentist will give you a copy of the examination form and information. Please take this back to your primary care veterinarian to complete your Service Dog’s medical care to schedule any diagnostics or treatment that may be needed. Your primary care veterinarian is an important part of the team in providing your Service Dog with the best oral health care. The dental specialist will make a recommendation for treatment for your service dog instead of present options. Most important: You MUST pre-register prior to calling to make your appointment with veterinary dental specialist. VMCLI Cares for Joey, a 3 Month Old Pitbull Puppy Joey is a 3 month-old pitbull puppy, who was placed in a plastic bag and thrown from a moving car. Thank you to all those who have sent donations to help continue his medical care. The VMCLI will not give up on our special boy! You can read more about this story on Newsday. We wanted to take a moment to clarify some questions that arose after Joey’s story was made known on many of the news stations and articles. Joey was diagnosed with fractured cervical vertebrae. While this is commonly called a “broken neck”, we believe that Joey’s spinal cord has not been damaged in this event. Our Board-Certified Neurologist, Dr. Georgina Barone, has peformed a full neurologic exam on Joey, and believes he may have a successful chance in regaining use of his forelimbs and hind legs. We hope to have more information on his neurological status in the next 7-10 days. We will be performing more diagnostics on Joey within the next few days, which we hope will give us a positive outlook. Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers, and concerns for Joey! Update on our Little Boy | 8/15/12 Joey slightly moved his front feet early this morning, which is great news! He continues to have a great appetite, and gets stronger every day! He is scheduled to have a CT Scan later today – we will keep you posted on his results! Thank you all for checking in and sending good thoughts and well wishes for Joey! Update on our Little Boy | 8/16/12 Here is a short clip on Joey eating his breakfast this morning.

Endure to Cure | A message from Dr. Erika Friedrich On August 14, 2011, I will be running in my second 7-mile Falmouth Road Race to support a charity called Endure to Cure, a federally registered not-for-profit organization that raises funds for research and treatment for pediatric cancers. I did this hill run last year (and did well without needing resuscitative acts at the finish line too- lol), and it was with much generosity from my family and friends that made last year such a success for Endure to Cure. I am hoping you can help me make this year’s fundraising just as special. My goal is to raise a minimum of $1500 to run in this event. NO CONTRIBUTION IS TOO SMALL! Please join me and Endure to Cure in reaching our fundraising goal. Please check out my personal statement and profile page at: It is here where you can make a simple, tax-deductible donation and learn about this great organization. Also, there is an off-line donation form available, attached to the flyer posted on the VMC Information Station board, which you can photocopy and then fill-out and mail in with your donation if you so desire. Thanks in advance for your generosity and your contribution to cancer research. I look forward to keeping you posted on my progress and sharing my race experience. With sincere thanks, We are proud to announce, that our Ophthalmology Assistant, Ms. Donna Maiorano, took part in her sons efforts to help raise funds for an amazing cause.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (KY3) – Warming shelters have opened across the Ozarks, but a significant problem they face is a high demand for volunteers. Due to the extreme temperatures, shelter operators say they’ve seen double the number of people who need a warm place to stay in the last few days. “In situations like this with the extreme cold, we do see a rise in numbers. And it’s hard for us to say, hey, we just don’t have enough space,” said Amos Shiels with The Salvation Army. Salvation Army’s Harbor House holds about 20-25 men who need a place to sleep and feeds around 150 people daily, with less than ten volunteers. “The thing that’s really difficult is we still have people that are outside in this weather,” said Christie Love with Springfield’s Connecting Grounds. Other overnight warming shelters hold around the same number of people but operate with only two volunteers overnight. “This week, it’s been particularly difficult to get volunteers, so that is definitely a huge need.” Community leaders say they may have to cut back on shelters if they don’t get enough volunteers. “The most heartbreaking is when we can’t open a shelter because we don’t have enough volunteers. “The thing that’s really difficult is we still have people that are outside in this weather,” said Christie Love with Connecting Grounds.

According to the court documents, the 44-year-old mom, later identified as Shanda, was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for starving and t0rturing her special needs son, Timothy. Prosecutors said the mother also received additional 50 to 100 years for first-degree child abuse. During the trial, the defendant’s lawyer told prosecutors that his client didn’t want to kill her special needs son. Attorney Fred reportedly said that something broke in the mother mentally and she ‘didn’t know of the damage she was causing until it was too late.’ Shanda’s older son and co-defendant, Paul, reportedly testified against his mother and will be sentenced on February 26, 2024. During the trial, prosecutors said that the 44-year-old mom reportedly t0rtured her special needs son until he died. Timothy, who allegedly had some sort of incapacity or mental health issue, was found dead in July 2022 at the family’s home. According to the prosecutors, the mother reportedly forced her son to puke up food, gave him strict time limits for toilet use, forced him to sleep in a closet, forced him to eat hot sauce, made him do wall sits and forced him to do ice baths. During the trial, prosecutors also said that the special needs boy died in a small closet under the basement stairs. The 44-year-old mom reportedly called him pathetic during his final moments. The forensic expert discovered the traces of his mother pouring hot sauce down his throat and placing him in an ice bath, the day before his death. According to the defendant’s attorney, his client reportedly grew up while being physically and sexually abuse by her father and later her stepfather. He also said that his client was not aware of the damage she was causing because something broke in her mentally. But, prosecutors said that Shanda knew exactly what she was doing. Prosecutors also said that the defendant never looked up at her children as they spoke. He argued that she had stopped thinking of her children as human. They are not people to her, the prosecutor said.

Video Proof That Comcast Is The Worst: Man Gets Put On Hold For 3 Hours While Trying To Cancel Service No matter where you live, I’m sure you’ve had some kind of negative experience while dealing with a giant corporation over the phone. You’re bounced from robot to robot before being transferred to a guy who can’t understand a word you’re saying, who then puts you on hold for five minutes so you can speak to his manager before being mysteriously “cut off” just so you can call back and repeat the hellish process over again. But Comcast’s customer service is a different beast. Although it hasn’t been confirmed directly, I have strong reason to believe that Comcast’s HR specialists are trained to scout their talent by summoning demons directly from the seventh circle of hell. The company was awarded the “Worst Company in America” award in April 2014, which is an annual contest held by The Consumerist, which runs a series of reader polls to determine the least popular company in America. It was actually the second time Comcast was honored for its lack of social graces; the first occurred in 2010. A disgruntled Comcast customer, Aaron Spain, went as far as to record himself being on hold with the cable juggernaut for over three hours! Then, to make matters worse, he called from another line, only to find out their call center was closed for the night. Odd, considering I’ve talked to Comcast reps on the phone well after midnight. Ironically, the young man was calling to cancel his service. Give it up, Aaron Spain. Comcast owns you. They own all of us. Take that video down before we all get hung for treason.

As the sun sets over the Nile, casting a golden glow on the minarets and palm trees, Cairo doesn't immediately reveal its ancient secrets. It's a city where modernity and history are intricately intertwined, bustling with life and movement. Yet, hidden within this vibrant urban tapestry are remnants of a time when pharaohs ruled and mythology was born. This article takes you on a journey through modern Cairo to uncover these ancient Egyptian treasures. The Eternal Guardians: The Pyramids of Giza While not hidden nor within the city's immediate borders, no exploration of Cairo's ancient roots can begin without acknowledging the Pyramids of Giza. Looming on the horizon, these ancient wonders are a constant reminder of the city's timeless heritage. A visit here is not just a step back in time; it's an inspiration, reflecting the ambition and artistry of ancient Egypt. The Cairo Museum: A Treasure Trove of Antiquity In the heart of the city lies the Egyptian Museum, a monumental repository of artifacts. As you walk through its halls, you're walking alongside kings and queens from millennia past. The museum is home to an extensive collection, including the gilded treasures of Tutankhamun and items that span over 5,000 years of history. Each artifact tells a story, from the everyday lives of ancient Egyptians to the grandeur of their royal courts. Ancient Cairo: The City of the Dead The Qarafa, or City of the Dead, is a unique fusion of a cemetery and residential area that stretches for miles. Among its old tombs and mausoleums, some of which date back to the Islamic era, are hints of the even older past. This area, though more connected to the Islamic and later periods, offers a poignant reflection on the continuity of Cairo as a city of the living and the dead, resonating with the ancient Egyptian belief in eternal life. Babylon Fortress: The Gateway to Coptic Cairo Venture into Coptic Cairo, and you'll find yourself in the midst of ancient ruins dating back to Roman times. The Babylon Fortress, though now mostly hidden beneath the later constructions, was once a formidable Roman structure. Around it, the Coptic churches, like the Hanging Church, stand as testimony to the city's layered history, built atop ancient Roman towers and still echoing with tales from the past. In the Footsteps of the Pharaohs: Walking Tours For those keen on discovering Cairo's pharaonic past firsthand, several walking tours guide visitors through lesser-known sites. These may include visits to ancient temples hidden among the cityscape, areas of old Heliopolis, or even the remnants of ancient walls and structures that have become part of the city's foundation. These tours often provide insightful commentary on how these ancient elements have influenced Cairo's development and identity. Modern Meets Ancient: Architecture and Artifacts As you wander through Cairo, keep an eye out for the subtle incorporations of ancient motifs in modern buildings. Some contemporary structures in Cairo pay homage to the city's heritage through design elements inspired by ancient Egyptian art and architecture. Even in the bustling downtown, you might notice a building with lotus column-inspired designs or a public square featuring an obelisk or statues. Cairo is a city where the past is always present. The pharaohs might have left the stage of history, but their legacy endures in the stones of the pyramids, the artifacts in the museum, and the layers of history that make up this complex, captivating city. To walk the streets of Cairo is to traverse a timeline that stretches back thousands of years, each step a discovery of the ancient world that shaped not just Egypt, but the entire course of human civilization. Whether you're a history enthusiast or simply curious about the origins of this great city, Cairo offers a fascinating, tangible link to the ancient world, inviting you to uncover its secrets.

I’ve been here nearly a year now and if there’s one reaction I get to the change of jobs and explaining what we do, it’s ‘really?……… are you busy?’. Maybe it’s because I don’t personally know a lot of people in the sailing and marine world, but pontoons are clearly something that the general public don’t really take much notice of. I went to Hampton Court Garden Festival on Tuesday and walked over one of the bridges before even realising that I was on a pontoon. If you’re down by the sea and walking on a jetty, you’re just walking aren’t you, does it matter what’s underneath – so long as it supports you? It does to us! It made me wonder, sometimes even when people purchase the pontoons, jetports, drive on docks, do you know what your boat is sitting on, or on what you’re standing? To be honest, they’re pretty simple constructions, but there’s a few accessories that are quite vital to the successful construction of the finished article, so I’ll tell you a little about them. Mainly so you know that when we quote you, you know what you’re getting. Disclaimer: Obviously each order can be very different and needing different parts, but the main accessories are as described below… For Rotodock modules, if you are purchasing more than one, or connecting it to a pontoon or other existing module, you will need at least two pairs of couplers. These are black HDPE connectors in the shape of a dog bone and each pair are connected by a long white screw. The screw’s length is the equivalent depth of the Rotodock module. Each pair sit flush on top and bottom of the modules, connecting them together. When purchasing modular cubes, there are not just one, but three products that are imperative to the completion of construction. These are the connection pins (or sometimes called lugs), side connection bolts (you might hear them called simply ‘the screw and nuts’) and the spacers (or washers). The connection pins, as you may have guessed, connect the cubes. One pin will hold four cubes together. The side connection bolts connect the cubes on the edge of the pontoon, for extra security. These are often replaced with handrail posts, cleats or fenders. The spacers are slightly more complex to explain. Each cube has four ‘pin/lug holes’ each hole is placed at a certain measurement down the side of the cube, so they can slot together and allow the pins to drop through and connect them. On one side of a modular cube pontoon, there will always be a row of pin/lug holes that don’t sit flush together and in between these, we place spacers. The spacers support the holes to reduce the movement and therefore the friction and likelihood of breakage. We don’t want our plastic getting lost at sea. In order to put these parts in place fully and securely, you also need a few tools. The couplers are placed with a ‘J bar’, so called because it looks like a …..yep, a ‘J’. The pins are put in place with a ‘T bar’ (yes, originally named too) that twists the pins in place and also then allows you to pull them out easily. The third tool is a castle wrench that slots on to the edges of the side connection bolts allowing you to tighten them without creating a hand load of callouses! These are the unsung heros of WMS, those little parts that are even less acknowledged than the pontoons themselves, but those that without which, we would not be in business! So go into the weekend acknowledging the unsung heros, and the unacknowledged cogs that keep your wheels turning, and ENJOY IT ALL! May it be sunny and bright for us all!

Eric Paslay entertains attendees of the CMA Music Festival in a solo set of insightful stories, familiar hits, and one new song at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. He also answers questions from fans about songwriting. In this performance, the Abilene, Texas, native begins with his 2014 single “Song About a Girl.” He then tells the audience that he wrote “Barefoot Blue Jean Night” on his first guitar and that one of its lyrics specifically alludes to a U2 concert. That feel-good single became a #1 hit for Jake Owen in 2011, marking Paslay’s first #1 as a songwriter. Asked about the life of a songwriter, he remarks, “It’s a muscle, and if God’s gifted you enough with this muscle of saying ‘I love you’ eight different ways, it’s fun. We showed up—and there’s hit songs written every day that you’ll never hear also.” Paslay then performs “Deep as It Is Wide,” recorded by Amy Grant with Sheryl Crow and Paslay, and a new song titled “Nice Guy.” He continues with “She Don’t Love You,” a single he released in 2014 that earned an ACM Song of the Year nomination. He also reminisces about trying to book shows in Austin, Texas, when he was eighteen years old—an experience he parlayed into the lyrics of “Even If It Breaks Your Heart,” which he co-wrote with Will Hoge. Eli Young Band scored a #1 hit with the song in 2012. Paslay adds a few lines of Tom Petty’s “Learning to Fly” at the end of his rendition. The set continues with fan questions as Paslay confesses he’s a “mumble writer,” seeking out words and syllables as melodies are taking shape. He cites Rodney Crowell, Kris Kristofferson, and Dolly Parton as songwriting influences, but as he tells the crowd, “If I believe the song and songwriters, I don’t care if they’re famous or not. I just turn it up, and I think that’s something cool about music.” He ends the set by singing his 2013 breakout solo hit, “Friday Night.” Explore our public programming: https://countrymusichalloffame.org/plan-your-visit/exhibits-activities/public-programs/ FOLLOW THE MUSEUM

Popular for its old school styling and affordable price, the Prospex Marinemaster SBDX017 is the most affordable of Seiko‘s high-end dive watches. Now the Marinemaster 300m just got a lot more, well, different with the new Europe-only limited edition SLA015. It has the same specs as the ordinary Marinemaster 300m, namely a 44mm steel case with the automatic 8L35 inside. But the dial is a bright, light blue (cyan perhaps?) with a radial engine-turned decoration, matched with gold-plated hour markers and hands. The SLA015 is limited to 200 pieces and packaged with a rubber strap and strap tool. The price is €2300 including taxes and it will be available only at Seiko retailers in Germany.Back to top.

Byron Griffin was found injured in Eyre’s Garden, Ilkeston, at around 12.40pm on Sunday 4 July. The 22-year-old, from East Leake was taken to the Queen’s Medical Centre where he died. Mr Griffin’s mother, Zoe Cooke, said: “Byron’s death has absolutely devastated my family. He is my only son and leaves behind three sisters aged 10, 11 and 27 who will never, ever get over this. “Byron was loved by so many – to the point that one of his old teachers came to see me to pay his condolences despite him leaving school years ago. “Byron was my absolute heartbeat and our lives will never be the same again – the pain is absolutely unbearable. We are all devastated beyond belief and I wouldn’t wish this on any parent. “My boy will never hold or kiss me again and I will never come to terms with that.” Mr Griffin’s family are being supported by specialist officers and our thoughts are with them at this most difficult of times. It is believed Mr Griffin was injured during a disturbance in Great Northern Close and officers are keen to hear from anyone who may have information that can help the investigation. Of particular interest are any witnesses who may have seen a disturbance in the area around Great Northern Close at around 12.30pm – especially any homeowners with CCTV or drivers with dashcam footage who may have been in the area at the time. Anyone with information is asked to contact Derbyshire police on 101 including reference 21*372467:

Many people talk about giving back to the community, but one Rye Brook resident, Jeff Sohn, actually took action. Sohn was part of a crew of student volunteers working to help restore parks that were severely damaged by Superstorm Sandy. The group was participating in the Student Conservation Association’s (SCA) Sandy Recovery Project, which was sponsored by American Eagle Outfitters. After about 100 applications, 17 students were chosen based on submitted essays. Voters of an online contest decided to send the group to work in the National Parks of New York Harbor for a week. I was able to speak with Sohn, who recently graduated from the University of Albany, about his experience. Why did you decide to participate in this experience? JS: It was an opportunity to meet like minded people who are environmentally conscious, have an appreciation for the outdoors, think the way that I do, and know the importance of preserving the natural world. The program sparked my attention so I decided to jump on it. How did you hear about the program? JS: I heard about it through the SCA list serve and since I “like” the SCA on Facebook I saw it there. And I actually expected there to be a lot people who were similar to me, but overall it was a pretty diverse group. Looking back, how was your experience? JS: It was great. Every day we had new tasks, ranging from cleaning up debris in a parking lot to cleaning up trails. We also built a boardwalk in a garden so it could be handicap accessible. So there were diverse outdoor project. Plus, one day were did not work and went into Manhattan, since not everyone was from here. Would you do it again or recommend it to other students? JS: Yeah. The SCA is awesome and they are doing a lot of good work all over the county. I would definitely recommend challenging yourself. Did you meet a lot of new kids? JS: Yes since I didn’t know anyone before the trip. I met 17 new awesome people who live throughout the county. And since we camped out for the whole week at Gateway National Park on Floyd Bennett Field, we spent a lot of time together. Were you personally affected by Sandy? JS: Not me directly. My family did lose power but my uncle was displaced for six months. So I certainly felt a personal effect. How did you feel about helping a community close to yours? JS: I think it is important to give back to the community, but I don’t always necessarily get to do it so it was great to have the opportunity to fully engage myself.

The December report from our District and County Councillors does contain some items that you may find concerning, so please read about them here. In particular there are some major development plans both now and on the horizon: - Anaerobic Digestion Plant Proposals in Streetly End and Haverhill. - Possibly the largest solar farm in Europe between Linton, Balsham and Fulbourn. - An expansion plan for Cambridge that will make it 4x larger. It would make Abington, Linton, Balsham, etc. suburbs of Cambridge. Minutes from previous Parish Council meetings and reports from our District and County Councilors can be read here.

Apple, Samsung, and Google continue to fight to become the top players in the Mobile Technology Industry. Moreover, their product prices continue to outrun the pockets of a massive section of the Asian consumer electronics market, which first gave Xiaomi a chance to penetrate it with its reasonable feature-loaded mobile phones. Once again, after many economically successful ventures in mobile technology and a marvelous consumer reaction towards its last market-breaker Poco F1, Xiaomi is back with its latest Redmi Note 7 Pro. Yeah, it’s almost here. Slated to be launched in the market on March 13, 2019, Xiaomi has made everything possible to make sure that their users get the best taste of processing speed, extensive gaming, and steamrolling work compatibility. All of that added with a high-end functioning camera for some photography. Let’s break down what Xiaomi has in the bucket for all of us this time. The new Redmi Note 7 Pro would be studded with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 Octa-Core Processor. Now it’s not the Snapdragon 855 that the company has just offered in its Mi9 model or the Snapdragon 845 in Poco F1. However, this inevitably crosses the previous benchmark set by the Redmi series, with the company claiming an increase by 155% in the functioning of the device in comparison to the Note 6 Pro. As the modern-day devices continue to turn into micro-drives for storage, Xiaomi seems to follow the trend, offering 128 GB of internal storage with and hybrid-external limit of 256 GB. Supported by a 6GB RAM, the Redmi Note 7 Pro would likely hold the compatibility for such storage without any trouble. The USP of Xiaomi phones, Camera quality, is something the company has not compromised with ever since the beginning.

Humans generate 2.5 quintillion bytes of data every day. That is a substantial amount of information. However, failing to keep up with the ever-changing threat landscape might wipe your share of this data in the blink of an eye. In fact, ransomware has more than doubled in frequency since last year, accounting for 10% of verified breaches. While there is a lot of fear surrounding cybersecurity, you don’t need to panic. There are measures you can put in place to better protect your business. One of our best recommendations is to make data backups a component of your cybersecurity plan. Companies that don’t regularly back up valuable data leave themselves vulnerable to evolving cyberthreats. Data loss can occur due to multiple reasons that range from hard drive failures and ransomware attacks to natural disasters and human error. Whatever the reason may be, data backup can provide the relief you need by helping restore data on your devices should an incident occur. When you decide to embark on your data backup journey to protect your organization and create business continuity, there are several myths you’ll come across. Here are four of the most common data backup myths: Backup Myths Debunked Myth #1: Data Backup Is Too Expensive Data loss can have a cascading effect, resulting in downtime, productivity loss, revenue disruptions, regulatory fines and reputational damage. The total cost of these setbacks is typically higher than the cost of a backup solution. Myth #2: Having One Copy of Your Data Backed Up Is All You Need The 3-2-1 strategy is a data backup best practice that involves having at least three copies of your data, two on-site but on different mediums/devices, and one off-site. - Three copies of data: Having at least two additional copies of your data, in addition to your original data, is ideal. - Two different mediums: Keep two copies of your data on different types of storage medium such as internal hard drives and removable storage like an external hard drive or a USB drive. - One off-site copy: Keep one copy of your data off-site. This helps safeguard against worst-case scenarios. Myth #3: Multiple Copies Guarantee Successful Backups Having additional copies of your data by following the 3-2-1 strategy is a smart practice, but this doesn’t guarantee backups will operate as expected. Organizations following the 3-2-1 strategy generally keep the original data and one of its copies on-site while another copy is transmitted to a safe, off-site destination, typically the cloud. Beyond creating additional backup copies, regularly check to verify whether your backups are working properly since they may still be vulnerable to user error or data corruption. Routinely test backups or outsource the task to a managed service provider (MSP). Myth #4: Data Backup and Disaster Recovery Are the Same This misunderstanding stems from the fact that many people do not understand the difference between data backup and disaster recovery. Even though they are both vital components of business continuity, they are not the same. While data backup is the act of backing up critical data, disaster recovery is the act of recovering those backups. Another distinction is that while data backup is defined by the recovery point objective (RPO), which is the amount of data that must be restored to keep operations running, disaster recovery is defined by the recovery time objective (RTO), which considers the time it takes to recover. Partner for Success Trying to safeguard your organization against data loss on your own can be overwhelming. Fortunately, we’ve got you covered. We can make it easier for you to implement a long-term security and data backup strategy that also meets IT and endpoint device security and data protection requirements – especially considering new, growing cyberthreats that target vulnerabilities you may have overlooked.

It allows you to clearly understand what your insurance will cover and what you will need to pay out-of-pocket. 3. In-Network Providers If your insurance plan has a network of preferred providers, consider selecting an orthodontist within that network.

Contributions to these accounts are made with pre-tax dollars, providing potential tax savings. Check with your employer or financial advisor to determine if you are eligible for these accounts and how they can be used for orthodontic treatment. 5. Keep Accurate Records Maintain detailed records of all orthodontic-related expenses, including receipts, bills, and insurance claim forms.

Understanding Florida Car Insurance Requirements As a driver in Florida, it is important to understand the state’s car insurance requirements. In Florida, drivers are required to carry personal injury protection (PIP) and property damage liability (PDL) coverage. PIP coverage is designed to cover medical expenses and lost wages in the event of an accident, regardless of who is at fault. PDL coverage, on the other hand, is meant to cover any damage you may cause to someone else’s property while driving. It is important to note that these coverages do not provide protection for your own vehicle. Minimum Coverage Limits in Florida The minimum coverage limits for PIP and PDL coverage in Florida are: - PIP – $10,000 - PDL – $10,000 Additional Coverage Options While Florida only requires PIP and PDL coverage, there are additional coverage options that drivers may want to consider: - Bodily injury liability (BIL) – This coverage can help pay for the medical expenses and lost wages of other drivers and passengers if you are at fault in an accident. - Collision coverage – This coverage can help pay for repairs to your own vehicle if you are in an accident. - Comprehensive coverage – This coverage can help pay for damage to your vehicle that is not the result of an accident, such as theft or weather-related damage. The Importance of Adequate Coverage While it may be tempting to only purchase the minimum required coverage in Florida to save money on your premiums, it is important to consider the potential financial consequences of being underinsured in the event of an accident. By carrying adequate coverage, you can have peace of mind knowing that you are protected financially. If you are unsure about what type or how much coverage to purchase, it may be helpful to consult with an experienced insurance agent who can help guide you through the process. Factors affecting Florida car insurance rates When it comes to buying car insurance in Florida, one of the most important things to consider is the cost. There are several factors that can affect your car insurance rates, and understanding these factors can help you make informed decisions about your coverage. Here are some of the most common factors that can affect your Florida car insurance rates: Your driving record is one of the most important factors that can affect your car insurance rates. If you have a clean driving record with no accidents or traffic violations, you will likely pay lower insurance rates than someone with a history of accidents or tickets. Age and gender Age and gender can also play a role in determining your car insurance rates. Generally, younger drivers and male drivers are considered to be at a higher risk for accidents, so they may pay higher insurance rates than older or female drivers. Type of car The type of car you drive can also affect your car insurance rates. Cars that are more expensive to repair or replace, or that are more likely to be stolen, will typically have higher insurance rates. Additionally, cars with high safety ratings may have lower insurance rates. - Make and model of car - Age of car - Safety features Where you live can also affect your car insurance rates. Areas with high rates of accidents or theft may have higher insurance rates than areas with lower rates. Additionally, living in an urban area versus a rural area can also impact your rates. - Zip code - City vs. rural - Local accident rates By understanding the factors that can affect your Florida car insurance rates, you can make informed decisions about your coverage and potentially save money on your premiums. Keep these factors in mind when shopping for car insurance to ensure that you get the best possible rates. Tips for finding the best Florida car insurance companies Having adequate car insurance coverage is crucial for drivers in Florida, but with so many options available, it can be overwhelming to choose the right one. Here are some tips to help you find the best car insurance companies: Shop around: Do your research and compare policies and rates from different companies to find the best fit for your needs and budget. Check ratings and reviews: Look up customer reviews and ratings on reputable websites to gauge the level of satisfaction and reliability of the company. Factors to consider when choosing a car insurance company - Coverage options: Make sure the company offers the coverage you need, whether it’s liability, collision, comprehensive, or personal injury protection. - Rates and discounts: Compare rates from different companies and inquire about discounts you may be eligible for, such as safe driver discounts, multi-car discounts, or bundling policies. - Financial stability: Choose a company with a strong financial rating to ensure they can handle claims and provide reliable service. Tips for saving money on car insurance in Florida Increase your deductible: A higher deductible can lower your premium, but make sure you can afford to pay it if you need to file a claim. Drive safely: Maintaining a clean driving record and avoiding accidents can lead to lower rates and potential discounts. Choose a car with safety features: Cars with advanced safety features like airbags, anti-lock brakes, and collision avoidance systems can help reduce your risk of accidents and lower your insurance rates. How to save money on Florida car insurance First, it’s essential to shop around for the best rates. Don’t assume that your current car insurance provider is offering you the best deal. Comparing quotes from several different insurance companies can help you find a better rate. Consider a higher deductible One way to reduce your car insurance premium is to opt for a higher deductible. A deductible is the amount of money you’ll pay out of pocket if you get into an accident before your insurance coverage kicks in. Increasing your deductible from, say, $500 to $1,000 could lower your premium by 10% or more. Just make sure you have enough money set aside to cover the higher deductible if you do get into an accident. Take advantage of discounts - Many car insurance providers offer discounts for drivers who take defensive driving courses, so consider taking a course if you haven’t already. - You may also be eligible for a discount if your car has certain safety features, such as anti-lock brakes or airbags. - Some insurance companies offer a discount if you bundle your car insurance policy with other types of insurance, such as homeowners insurance. One of the most effective ways to keep your car insurance costs down is to maintain a clean driving record. Avoid speeding tickets, accidents, and other driving infractions, as these can cause your insurance rates to skyrocket. Safe driving habits can not only keep you and other drivers safe on the road but also save you money on your car insurance. By following these tips, you can save money on your car insurance policy without sacrificing the coverage you need. Remember to review your policy regularly to make sure you’re still getting the best rate possible. Why Comparison Shopping for Florida Car Insurance is Important When it comes to car insurance in Florida, there are a lot of options out there. With so many companies vying for your business, it can be difficult to know which one to choose. That’s why comparison shopping is so important. By comparing multiple insurance providers, you can: Every insurance company calculates their rates differently, and the price you pay for coverage can vary widely depending on factors like your age, driving record, and the type of car you drive. By comparing quotes from multiple providers, you can ensure that you’re getting the best deal possible on your car insurance. Find the Right Coverage Not all car insurance policies are created equal. Some may offer more comprehensive coverage than others, while others may have higher deductibles or exclusions that could leave you vulnerable in the event of an accident. By comparing policies from different providers, you can find the one that offers the coverage you need at a price you can afford. Avoid Hidden Fees and Charges Insurance companies can be notorious for tacking on hidden fees and charges to policies, and these extra costs can really add up over time. By comparing policies from different providers, you can identify any hidden fees or charges upfront and make sure you’re not paying more than you need to for your coverage. At the end of the day, comparison shopping for Florida car insurance is an essential step in finding the right coverage at the right price. Don’t settle for the first policy you come across—take the time to compare your options and make an informed decision that will protect you and your vehicle on the road. The benefits of having Florida car insurance Having Florida car insurance can provide you with peace of mind and financial security in the event of an accident or other unforeseen circumstances.

White Squirrel Sightings in Brevard, North Carolina and around the U.S. From the beginning History of Bobbie and her babies (Oscar & Elliot) ~ Suzy Biecker This is when I first started coming on a regular basis (3 – 4 times a week) and would leave whole peanuts, while getting closer and closer as Bobbie ate. I did not know if Bobbie was male or female. I would always find her near trees, near the building or near the water. Then I started calling her by name, Bobbie. Bobbie started to eat from my hand. I noticed she was getting large mid-July. The last few days of July, Bobbie did not come when I called, nor did I see her. I still left food where I had before. First week of August, Bobbie showed up, but would only stay a minute and then run down in between buildings towards one tree in particular. I started going to that tree and realized where her home was. Also, it was brought to my attention that Bobbie was not only a female, but a new mother. I could tell the babies had been nursing; I was so excited. I hoped that one day she would allow me to meet her new family. She came to me every evening and I also started leaving whole nuts in the crook of a limb in her tree for breakfast. August 18, 2010 I came at the usual time to feed Bobbie and noticed a huge pile of fresh mulch at the corner of the building. As I walked closer to her tree I was devastated to see that her particular limb had been cut down. There were still limbs on the ground. I did not see Bobbie or any squirrels in that area. As I ran from limb to limb, I found the nest. Apparently someone realized they had brought the nest down; they had split the limb in half and laid it against the building with a window screen over it for protection. There were three babies, two white and one gray. I looked for Bobbie and called for her, there was no sign or answer from her. I waited to see if she would come for the babies. I finally went home to get my husband to help with the babies. Upon returning, two of the babies were gone. I did not know if she had gotten them, or if a predator or human had gotten them. As I looked over I saw one of the white ones, face down in the cold mud bleeding badly from its mouth. By now it was totally dark and getting cooler. We hid and waited to see if someone would come for this one. Nothing happened. I finally picked it up and wrapped it in a towel. We hurried home to see if I could find someone to help. My husband called every vet that offered 24 hour assistance. We only got one response and they refused to help. I remembered Elliot, the white squirrel on display at the White Squirrel Festival. I got online and looked for the name of the wildlife rehabilitator. Finally we were lucky enough to find the name, Jennifer Burgin, a local wildlife rehabilitator that was actually the lady with Elliot at the White Squirrel Festival. My husband called her and she was so kind to meet us in Mills River. By then, it was almost midnight. She took the baby which I named Oscar and 24 hours later called me and said he was still alive and she would be taking him to the vet that day. I returned that next morning and looked everywhere for Bobbie, there was no sign of her. I came back that afternoon and walked more towards the water and to my surprise she came running towards me. She was muddy and hungry. I stayed with her as long as she would let me and followed her to another tree. She had apparently been there ever since they cut her limb off her old tree. This tree seemed to be strong and healthy. She apparently had not been in the tree when it came down. Unfortunately, I could not tell yet if she had the babies or if they even survived. Much to my joy in the past few weeks, it had came to pass that both of her babies were alive and well. They are beautiful. The white one I named Betty and the gray one, Buster. I visited her every evening, and every day looked forward to the few minutes she gave me. While I sat and spent time with Bobbie, her babies seemed to be rather active. They tossed twigs and leaves down on us. They scurried relentlessly on the limbs, as if they wanted to worry their mother. But she is much wiser than they realize. She probably even played the same tricks on her mother. Oscar is doing great. He is thriving and will need mouth surgery in the future. Unfortunately, it appears he may have to have his jaw removed, his teeth taken out, or his jaw totally realigned. His food has to be ground up and he has to have someone feed him. Only time will tell with Oscar’s recovery. He has the most beautiful plume white tail and loves to give kisses. Someone needs to tell him he is not a flying squirrel. His energy can only be matched to the “Energizer bunny.” He loves Elliot and vice versa. Jennifer is providing a wonderful home and is giving him professional and expert care, I am sure he will have a wonderful life. But to me, his mother, Bobbie is the most beautiful. She has such a sweet personality and a spirit to match. She once was my only friend in Brevard and now she has become my best friend in Brevard. I plan to provide food for her during the winter. I will also change the time I visit her, since they do not hibernate, they will need nourishment almost daily. I plan to go at the warmest part of the day, even if the high is only 30 degrees or lower. Hopefully she will have her babies to cuddle with and they will all be warm and safe. If not, then she will be all alone in her nest and if she does get herself warm she won’t leave until she is starving. So, I will pray for a winter that is bearable. Squirrels adapt wonderfully to the change of the seasons, but winds and deep snows make it hard for squirrels to survive. As of now… Bobbie is enjoying the weather and the LARGE amount of acorns I have been bringing to her. The neighbor beside us has the biggest oak tree I have ever seen. I have actually been sweeping up the acorns and putting them in copy paper boxes. A funeral home in Hendersonville that is good friends with us has also been collecting acorns for me. Bobbie is very generous and shares the wealth. There is no way she could bury or store all I have been taking. The almanac says we are in for an early and hard winter so I want her well supplied and taken care of. She is still enjoying the sunflower seeds from my hands but does not stay long. She gets busy with the acorns. Due to all the acorns I am taking to Bobbie I have quite a reception when I visit. Buster and Betty (Bobbie’s babies) are still close by and still share the nest with her. Jett is an older female white squirrel that also will take from my hand and is very sweet. I worry for her this winter. She is not able to get up in the trees as far or as fast as the others. She is on the ground a lot and people are constantly walking dogs without leashes. I look for her every evening and Bobbie does not run her off. I think Bobbie knows she is older. Then there is Crazy Willie. He is a grey squirrel and stands up to his name. He runs like he is on fire and constantly chirps at everyone and everything. He will come to me and does not want one peanut but 4 or 5 to cram in his mouth at one time. He drops them every few steps and will turn and look at me like it is my fault. Bobbie looks at him like “whatever.” He is a handsome male and I wonder if he may be a suitor for Bobbie soon. Hint of snow already. I am so afraid we are going to have a hard winter. Bobbie is still coming to me and seems to not worry about the snow. She is so beautiful. You can tell she is slow coming down from her nest and I feel bad to get her out. I come to see her now around lunch. That is the warmest part of the day. Sometimes I just leave food and not call her. Jennifer Burgin (our local wildlife rehabilitator) is a God send and I am so lucky to have gotten Oscar to her. She calls him Monkey but he is Oscar to me. I am so very proud to be his Godmother. It has been a mild few weeks, but we have had some cold days. I have sat out with Bobbie a couple of times when the wind was blowing so hard it almost blew her over. I fear her little ballerina toes get really cold at night. I took a washcloth for her to sit on and the second evening I brought it out she ran up the tree with it. Using it for covers no doubt. She is welcome to it of course. She looks healthy but on the thin side. She has been a gift to me since I left my hometown and moved here. I treated her today with crackers and Jif peanut butter. She loved it. She is so cute cleaning between her toes. What Drives Us To help the sick and injured White Squirrels and area wildlife in Transylvania County by helping to support our wildlife rehabilitators in the conservation and preservation of our wildlife so they can be returned to their natural habitat as quickly as possible.

In the realm of global pop culture, K-Pop has emerged not only as a genre of music but as a fashion phenomenon that captivates audiences worldwide. K-Pop idols are not just musicians; they are style icons, influencing the fashion choices of millions of teens around the globe. From bold streetwear to eclectic stage outfits, the K-Pop fashion frenzy has become a dynamic force in shaping teen trends. The Influence of K-Pop K-Pop, short for Korean Pop, has transcended cultural and language barriers, becoming a global phenomenon. The genre’s influence extends beyond music to fashion, beauty, and lifestyle. K-Pop idols are known for their polished performances, catchy music, and, perhaps most notably, their cutting-edge fashion sense. One of the defining aspects of K-Pop fashion is its embrace of streetwear. K-Pop idols effortlessly blend urban styles with high-fashion elements, creating looks that are both edgy and chic. Oversized hoodies, statement jackets, and eclectic accessories are staple pieces in the wardrobes of both male and female idols. The androgynous nature of many streetwear pieces allows K-Pop fashion to defy traditional gender norms, resonating with the inclusive mindset of today’s teens. Breakfast: A K-Pop Morning Ritual The influence of K-Pop fashion isn’t confined to the stage or music videos; it extends into the daily lives of fans. Teens inspired by K-Pop idols are incorporating elements of this fashion frenzy into their morning routines. From donning oversized shirts reminiscent of idol style to sipping coffee from K-Pop-inspired mugs, breakfast becomes a K-Pop morning ritual, connecting fans with their favorite idols on a personal level. K-Pop idols are known for their gender-fluid fashion choices, challenging societal norms and redefining beauty standards. Male idols may be seen sporting delicate jewelry and makeup, while female idols embrace tailored suits and androgynous looks. This fearless approach to fashion has a profound impact on the mindset of teens, encouraging them to express themselves freely and break free from traditional gender stereotypes. Beyond streetwear, K-Pop idols often make high-fashion statements with their stage outfits and red carpet looks. Luxury brands collaborate with K-Pop groups, creating exclusive outfits that make a splash in the fashion world. Teens, inspired by these high-fashion moments, seek to incorporate elements of sophistication and glamour into their own wardrobes, even if it’s just for a casual day out. DIY K-Pop Fashion The K-Pop fashion frenzy has given rise to a surge in DIY (do-it-yourself) creativity among fans. Teens are customizing their clothing, creating K-Pop-inspired accessories, and even replicating the iconic looks of their favorite idols. Social media platforms are flooded with tutorials and showcases of DIY K-Pop fashion, turning fans into creators and contributing to the global K-Pop fashion community. Hair and Beauty Trends K-Pop idols are not only trendsetters in fashion but also in beauty. Their ever-changing hairstyles, vibrant hair colors, and experimental makeup looks inspire teens to explore their own unique styles. The emphasis on self-expression through beauty choices aligns with the empowering message that K-Pop conveys to its audience. Influencers in K-Fashion The rise of K-Fashion influencers on social media platforms has further fueled the K-Pop fashion frenzy. These influencers often collaborate with K-Pop brands, feature K-Pop-inspired outfits, and share styling tips with their followers. The intersection of K-Pop and social media has created a dynamic ecosystem where fans can engage, share, and participate in the ever-evolving world of K-Pop fashion. The K-Pop fashion frenzy has transformed the landscape of teen fashion, offering a blend of bold creativity, gender-fluid expression, and high-fashion sophistication. Teens around the world are not only fans of the music but also active participants in the K-Pop fashion movement. The influence of K-Pop extends beyond the stage, seeping into the daily lives of fans who find inspiration in the diverse and innovative styles of their favorite idols. As K-Pop continues to evolve, so will its impact on fashion. The K-Pop fashion frenzy is not just a trend; it’s a cultural phenomenon that reflects the globalized nature of today’s youth culture. From streetwear to high fashion, and from morning rituals to DIY creativity, K-Pop fashion has become a powerful force in shaping the identity and self-expression of teens around the world.

Jessica Block, Mehrdad Yazdani, Mai Nguyen, Daniel Crawl, Marta Jankowska, John Graham, Tom DeFanti, and Ilkay Altintas, An Unsupervised Deep Learning Approach for Satellite Image Analysis with Applications in Demographic Analysis, In the thirteenth IEEE eScience conference, 2017. High resolution satellite imagery is a growing source of data with potential applications in many diverse domains. Efficient large scale analysis of this rich data can lead to unprecedented discoveries with societal impact. We present a new framework for organizing collections of satellite images into demographically relevant categories using unsupervised learning techniques. Our framework first extracts features using pre-trained Convolutional Neural Networks from tiles of high resolution satellite images of a city. The k-means algorithm is then applied to these features to organize images into visually similar groups. The resulting clustered images are validated using demographic data. The cluster model is then applied to six different cities around the world to test the transferability of our methods. Finally, the discovered image clusters are visualized in our customized web interface to enable demographers, social scientists, and economists to understand the organization of a city.

We present a novel approach for analyzing the effects of EU cohesion policy on local economic activity. For all municipalities in the border area of the Czech Republic, Germany and Poland, we collect project-level data on EU funding in the period between 2007 and 2013. Using night light emission data as a proxy for economic development, we show that the receipt of a higher amount of EU funding is associated with increased economic activity at the municipal level. Our paper demonstrates that remote sensing data can provide an effective way to model local economic development also in Europe, where no comprehensive cross-border data is available at such a spatially granular level. This webinar brings together EU officials and academic researchers to discuss the contribution of EU cohesion policy to the post-pandemic recovery and impact of the Ukraine war. It will present the key actions and challenges involved in overcoming current issues and provide an opportunity for discussion and debate between the participants and presenters.

In the realm of business, ladies are viewed as a minority no matter what their race. Numerous administration agreements and business plans expect that a base level of deals be taken care of utilizing minority possessed organizations. Consequently, getting a business ensured as lady claimed can be favorable and open up new business sectors for labor and products. Yet, who offers affirmation and how can one get her business guaranteed as lady claimed? The Country Ladies’ Entrepreneurs’ Company (NWBOC) is the principal association to offer a confirmation program for lady claimed organizations. The NWBOC is a non-benefit association made in 1995 to give help to lady entrepreneurs in vieing for government and corporate agreements. Their Ladies’ Business Endeavor (WBE) accreditation program is one stage in this cycle. To get her business ensured as lady possessed, a lady or gathering of ladies should make an application to the NWBOC for certificate and supply business desk work that upholds the case that the business is something like 51% claimed and constrained by a lady or ladies. Joining papers, an organization understanding, or a province DBA (carrying on with work as) imaginary name documenting will regularly get the job done. The subsequent step happens at the NWBOC where the application and supporting desk work are explored exhaustively to check that the lawful proprietor of the business is, to be sure, a lady or gathering of ladies. When the survey is finished and the desk work has passed examination, a site controller will be meet with the owner(s) at the real area of the business to perceive how the business is worked consistently and check that a lady is responsible for settling on the everyday choices related with maintaining the business. These reviewers might be other lady entrepreneurs, CPAs, or different experts with enough business experience to decide how the business is being run and who has genuine control, paying little mind to what is on paper. The last step along the way to certificate as a lady possessed business is the decision making by the NWBOC. They will compose a letter to the entrepreneur telling whether the business is or alternately isn’t being guaranteed as a lady possessed business and why. The circumstances that should be met to be confirmed are somewhat difficult to guarantee that the organizations who get affirmation are genuinely claimed and overseen by ladies so government and corporate substances can be agreeable in the information that they are satisfying their command to work with minority possessed organizations when they exchange with WBE ensured organizations. Business is troublesome, best case scenario, in the present business environment. Ladies who own their own organizations are in a tough spot in managing numerous corporate and government substances. Helping guaranteed as a lady claimed business through the NWBOC is quite possibly of the best stage a lady entrepreneur can take toward making the battleground more level for her business. WBE confirmation can be exceptionally convenient at making lady possessed organizations more serious in the business world today.

Kids Off Road Go Kart – Coleman Powersports CK100-S Coleman Powersports CK100-S Today, we are going to take a look at one of our favorite kids offroad go kart by Coleman Powersports. This is a great entry level go kart that will get your child familiar with operating gas/brake pedals and will ensure that they have hours of off road fun! Coleman Powersports makes some pretty good rides designed to provide the opportunity for your kids to have loads of fun while building into the design safety and reliability. Who is this kids off road go kart designed for? One of the things to consider when purchasing an off-road go kart is whether or not it’s a good fit for your kid. The Coleman Powersports CK100-S is recommended for riders 13 and older. It is also recommended for a maximum rider weight of about 150 pounds. That said, this depends on a number of other things as well. One major factor to consider is whether or not your child already has experience driving go karts. Some kids under 13 may be just fine while I’ve known a few that even past the age of 13 might not be qualified to drive a kart. Another consideration is the size of your child. Just because the age and weight recommendations are set at 13 and up to 150 pounds doesn’t mean it will fit your child. Although there are no height recommendations, this go kart can easily fit someone who is as tall as 6 feet. Keep in mind it may not be quite as comfortable. If you’ve got some of those tall genes in your family you might want to consider an off-road kart that is a little bigger. Coleman also makes one of those too, you can check out the Coleman Powersports KT196 which may be a little better fit for bigger kids. What is the top speed of this off road go kart? The top speed of the Coleman CK100-S is 15 mph. Top speeds often depend on a number of factors. Depending on the terrain your are riding on will have an affect on how fast you can get the CK100-S going. For example, if you are on a well maintained dirt road or smooth trail you are more likely to hit those top speeds than if you are driving up and down hills on rough trails. How much does the Coleman Powersports Kids Off Road Go Kart cost? Prices vary for the CK100-S Off Road Go Kart, but you can check with most major retailers for current pricing. We’ve found a couple of listings that seemed to be reasonable priced at both Walmart and at Amazon. There are a couple of links below. |Buy at Walmart |Buy at Amazon Coleman Powersports CK100-S Specs - Sleek single rider kart design. Hey you have to look good when you are out on the trails right? This off road kart is not only durable but sports a nice look too. - Racing seat with a four point safety harness. Of course we are mentioning a safety feature as the second on the list. After all, the fun ends quickly if you get hurt. - Heavy duty 16 and 13 gauge tubular construction sturdy enough for those long days and hours of fun for kids of all ages. - Weight of the off road go kart – 146 lbs. Why mention this? Well someone has to haul this thing around, right? It’s good to know what you are getting into. You might want to consider some lightweight ATV ramps to help you get it up into your truck or trailer. - Dimensions of the go kart – 57 x 38 x 27 inches. It’s not too big, but again the size is something to consider when you are moving it around. - Rear hydraulic disc with brake pedal. - 98cc 4 stroke OHV 3 Horsepower engine with gas pedal - Looking for more details? You can download the CK100-S Owner’s Manual here. Coleman Powersports CK100-S video When thinking about safety, the first thing we would like to mention is that a majority of accidents can be prevented by thinking and riding safely. This means that riders should understand their limitation and the limitations of the kart they are driving. There are precautions you should always take too. Some of these things seem like common sense but we’ll go ahead and mention them. Always wear a certified DOT motorcycle or ATV helmet! Common sense right? This one thing will protect the rider from some of the most potentially serious injuries. The second thing we would always recommend is to wear eye protection. What Safety Features does the CK100-S have? At first glance you might notice the head bar rising up from behind the seat. Although this is provided to add extra safety it is not intended to provide protection in a rollover accident. The mesh netting does provide some support against your head bouncing around as you ride. The Coleman CK-100-s does come with side panels designed with a similar function, so they provide limited protection. One of the main safety features is the seat belt. It has a 4 point safety harness type of seat belt to make sure you stay in the kart during your ride. The bolstered seat which adds to the safety also helps provide ac comfortable ride as you cruise down the trails. A few last words about this off road go kart. It’s a sturdy dependable go kart great for the beginner rider right around 13 years old and up to 150 pounds. It’s 98cc, 3 horsepower engine provides enough power to get you where you want to go at speeds of up to 15 miles per hour. So what are you waiting for?

Empowered Women Empower Women – Sharing the Wisdom I’ve Gained from Fourteen Volunteer Assignments When asked to write a piece for Women’s History Month, it caused me to quickly reflect over 28 years of working in women’s economic empowerment and perhaps some advances for women I have experienced while working in other countries and cultures. I have just returned from Senegal, where I have spent the last month completing two assignments for the Farmer-to-Farmer Program, working with three cooperatives, teaching them natural soap manufacturing, and assisting one cooperative, in particular, to add three additional body care products (lip balm, hair & scalp oil and body balm) to an existing soap range that I have helped them to develop over the years. With around 14 volunteer assignments done for Winrock and Farmer-to-Farmer since 2011 (six alone in the country of Senegal), my journey started many years ago as a business college graduate who joined the Peace Corps and served in Guatemala (1995-97), where I was blessed with the rich experience of living in the beautiful indigenous Mayan village of San Miguel Chicaj in the Department of Baja Verapaz. Working primarily with female textile artisans helping them to obtain income-generating loans and access to fair trade markets, providing them with technical assistance and oversight, as well as teaching local youth in the schools’ entrepreneurship, the experience was life-changing for me, and I have been passionately doing this kind of work ever since. My work takes me primarily to the African continent, where I teach mostly farmers in all aspects of business management and cooperative development. However, having also owned and operated a fair trade natural bath and body care company for 10 years, soapmaking is the perfect income-generating activity where people can incorporate many agricultural inputs as well as support a circular economy. It is still an extremely viable business model in many parts of the world, particularly for women, with locally available, economical, and abundant raw materials. It provides a relatively quick access-to-market for entrepreneurs as they don’t necessarily need to invest in expensive equipment and machinery nor do they need to have access to electricity in order to get started. Beautiful, natural ingredients such as shea butter, red palm, palm kernel, peanut, castor, beeswax, honey, and coconut oil are just a few that are perfect for soapmaking. Fortunately, increased awareness and appreciation for the natural product market across Africa provide groups with lots of business opportunities for the foreseeable future. Then when you add in plants such as peppermint leaf, turmeric, ground cinnamon, hibiscus flower, dried orange peel, tamarind, black pepper, moringa, neem, eucalyptus leaf, coffee (to name a brief few) that can serve as wonderful natural colorants and exfoliants, there exists a vast potential for supporting local farmers, who also most often end up being other women. It can also mean being the stimulus needed to give farmers the courage to diversify away from pesticide-laden crops (i.e., tobacco) that big corporations control the global prices of and keep people in poverty. Soapmaking is an ideal, low-impact business activity producing a staple product that fights germs and disease, aids with sanitation and hygiene, can be used for laundry, bathing, and household cleaning purposes, and is a great skill that can lift people and communities. Just on the African continent alone, my work has so far taken me to Liberia, Ghana, Uganda (check out www.mamamzungu.co), a social enterprise I have founded creating jobs for marginalized women affected by Albinism), Senegal, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, and Malawi. I also did remote assignments in Benin, Ghana, and Senegal during the coronavirus pandemic and am currently working on an exciting circular economy project combining women’s economic empowerment and primate habitat (www.bonobo.org) in the DRC as well as being a consultant to onboard projects protecting forests and wildlife for a carbon credit start-up called One Tribe Global (www.ontribeglobal.com). Sometimes when I go on these assignments, I stare out the car window as I am driven through city streets or rural communities, and it is not always so evident to me that change is actually happening for the better. I will honestly admit to feeling and thinking that at times. But I have distinctly noticed in the classroom over the years a definite shift in women speaking up and not being as shy at using their voices. Their growth in confidence is abundantly apparent and happening in increasing numbers. More and more women are stepping out into society and grabbing entrepreneurial opportunities by the reins and taking charge, bartering, and purchasing and selling their goods as opposed to the men always doing it. And yes, more and more men in these societies are supporting these women’s education, business pursuits, dreams, and opportunities to generate an income for their households, which I see as progress. After all, there is no sense in any society holding back 50% of their population’s economic and development potential simply based on gender! I remember years ago walking into meetings with groups of women, and the silence was absolutely deafening. It was like pulling teeth to get women to speak up, not be so meek or scared, even to ask a question or share an opinion. In mixed groups especially, they would most often sit quietly while the men took charge. This has persisted for many years during my time working in women’s economic empowerment. But this isn’t necessarily the case anymore, especially with the younger generations of women I now find in some of my workshops. They speak up, defend their positions on topics, come forward excitedly when I ask for volunteers, and offer their knowledge, and there are many more women as leaders of these cooperatives than I have ever experienced before. They are utilizing mobile technologies and social media and often have their phones at the ready to research and probe further. So I see a definite shift. A favorite phrase I often refer to is ‘Empowered Women Empower Women’; the perfect example is the women of AMIDEF in Senegal. I have worked with them since 2017 and have done a total of four assignments with them (three in person and one remote during COVID-19). So I was thrilled at the prospect of being invited back to work with them now in 2023 and to help them expand their product range. What impressed me most about these women is that since 2017, they have expanded their soap manufacturing in seven regions outside of Dakar (where they are based). They have taken the knowledge I shared with them years ago and have shown their commitment to empowering other women by teaching hundreds of others this skill. With a burgeoning overall membership of 29,000 members countrywide (participating in various income-generating activities – cereals, grains and flour, food preservation, etc.), they assembled 45 regional leaders for our time together on this last trip. What an exuberant, motivated, excitable, and dedicated group of women they remain to be! After our week together developing new products for them, I traveled across the country to a place called Bakel, where I trained another 20 women in soapmaking, and then to Kaolack, where there was another group of approximately 25. What became evident to me is that there is a strong business case for these two groups of women to join forces with AMIDEF, unify themselves in this industry, and position themselves commercially to not only establish a recognizable brand presence in Senegal and across West Africa but also to realize the real potential of exporting in time. They have specifically asked me to return to Senegal in perhaps a month or two to help them with this unifying process, and I very much look forward to that! This women’s cooperative’s history and development is just one brilliant case study and a shining example of the merits of the Farmer-to-Farmer program and Winrock’s targeted efforts over the past ten years, particularly when it comes to empowering and skilling women.

With the construction access to Wintringham being relocated to the A428, the developer is making improvements to Cambridge Road to provide safe crossing and improve connectivity between the development, Loves Farm and St Neots. The work, which is due to start on 20 July and be completed in mid-November, will include the installation of two toucan crossings to enable safe crossing between Loves Farm and Wintringham for pedestrians and cyclists. A bus shelter with real time travel information and a bus layby on the opposites side of the road will also be provided for those using the X5 bus service. The highway improvement works will be phased, starting with the Dramsell Rise Toucan Crossing, which will form part of the safe routes to the new Wintringham primary school and will be in place before the new Primary School opens later this year. Work will progress east along Cambridge Road, with each section being completed before moving on to the next. Two and three-way traffic lights will be needed throughout the works, which will be moved down Cambridge Road as sections of the works are completed. Works will take place from 7am – 5.30pm on weekdays and 7.30am – 1.30pm on Saturdays (when required). Weekend road closures will be needed on two weekends to carry out the resurfacing at each of the toucan crossings and diversion routes will be put in place. The Dramsell Rise Toucan Crossing resurfacing work is currently scheduled on 12/13 September and the Cambridge Road Toucan Crossing resurfacing work on 31 October and 1 November. This work will take place from 8am – 6pm on those two weekends. The resurfacing works, however, are weather-dependent and may need to be changed if it rains on those weekends. Local residents will be kept updated of any changes to the programme and provided with details of the related diversion routes that will be put in place. Rebecca Britton from Urban&Civic, master developer for Wintringham, said: “We are carrying out these Cambridge Road highway improvements in response to feedback from local stakeholders and communities when developing our plans for Wintringham. The toucan crossings will provide safe crossing for pedestrians and cyclists, so they can easily access the new primary school, play areas and amenities at Wintringham as well as for all the facilities in St Neots Town Centre. “The bus layby will reduce delays for other road users during collection/drop off and the new shelter is part of encouraging and supporting bus travel: making it easier, safer and more convenient, with protection from the elements and live travel information, so passengers will know when their bus is arriving.” The work will be carried out by J Breheny Civil Engineering, who have worked with Urban&Civic extensively through the early set up of the development. Jon Tovell from J Breheny said: “Our team has carefully planned these works to cause as little disruption as possible. There is, however, a significant noise impact associated with the toucan crossing resurfacing works and for 2-3 hours on the Saturday mornings (12 September and 31 October) a large planer is required to remove the existing surface to prepare it for the new installation. We will continue to monitor all the works and will keep local residents and road users up to date with activity and potential impacts.” If you have any questions, or if you would like to know about our work, please call 01480 413 141, email [email protected] or visit www.wintringham.org.

"It is possible to be a Christian without showing the mark, but if we expect non-Christians to know that we are Christians, we must show the mark." Christians have not always presented an inviting picture to the world. Too often we have failed to show the beauty of authentic Christian love. And the world has disregarded Christianity as a result. In our era of global violence and sectarian intolerance, the church needs to hear anew the challenge of this book. Decades ago Francis Schaeffer exhorted, "Love--and the unity it attests to--is the mark Christ gave Christians to wear before the world. Only with this mark may the world know that Christians are indeed Christians and that Jesus was sent by the Father." More than ever, the church needs to respond compassionately to a needy world. More than ever, we need to show the Mark.

Critical skills needs and challenges for STEM/STEAM graduates increased employability and entrepreneurship in the solar energy sector AuthorsAmalu, Emeka H. Chong, Perk Lin Hughes, David J. Adebayo, David Shina Tchuenbou-Magaia, Fideline Laure Oikonomou, Theoni I. Ekere, Nduka Nnamdi MetadataShow full item record AbstractEnergy produced by photovoltaic module (PVM) is poised to deliver the UN Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG-7) by 2030 and Net-Zero by 2050 but not until ample graduates with adequate Solar Energy Technology (SET) skills are produced by Higher education institutions (HEIs). Although PVM has witnessed significant penetration globally, the sustainability of the growth of the sector is challenged by attendant monotonic skilled labour shortages. The evolving growth imbalance is critical in the European Union (EU), limits her global competitiveness and necessitates the need to create wider awareness on the green technology to stimulate more production of solar energy sector (SES) specific skills graduates. Discussing the mismatch between the skills Europe needs and has in the SES, the study outlines key critical skills Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) cum Arts (STEAM) graduates ought to possess to secure sector employment and the challenges limiting them from acquiring the competencies. The review is conducted via extensive study of relevant literature, analysis of interviews and observations. Academic, industrial, and entrepreneurial skills are identified as critical SES needs. Designing and running educational modules/curricula that embed the identified solar technology specialist skills on students and learners are proposed as vehicle to increase their employability and entrepreneurship. This study profiles trends and developments in the SES for stakeholders’ increased awareness while presenting the specialist skills in-demand for employment in the sector. The adoption of SET Training (SETechTra) curricula/modules by the EIs will substantially increase the production of industry-ready graduates whilst decreasing the SES skills gap.

Extreme horror books are a growing trend; everyone wants to read them. They’ve been around for a while, though, and you can find examples of extreme horror books dating back until at least the 18th century when Horace Walpole published his The Castle of Otranto in 1764. It is also considered the first Gothic Horror book. The genre of extreme horror books contains almost none of the mainstream horror favourites, like the best Horror Books. Some extreme horror books, of course, have overlapping genres. Gothic horror can be extreme, but it can also be more dreary and dreadful without vivid descriptions of gore and violence. Many extreme horror books lack a clear supernatural element. This makes extreme horror books more of a “tag” than a genre. The genre is Horror, Gothic or otherwise, with the tag of extreme horror as an indicator of its contents rather than its story. The 6 Best Extreme Horror Books Without Spoilers Here is my selection of extreme horror books without adding too many spoilers (I hope). If you’re seeking a sampling of extreme horror books, this selection is a very good place to start. Once you’ve read these, you will have a good understanding of what this niche genre (which admittedly overlaps heavily with thriller), has to offer. I am not a book reviewer; I am an author. Don’t expect the usual walls-of-text of how it made me feel or diversions into tangential topics. Reading, as writing, is my profession. Read these extreme horror books for yourself. Geraldine Borden entices three struggling families with a lucrative offer: the children spend a day at her cliffside estate while testing her long-awaited, state-of-the-art playground in exchange for a healthy sum of money. But hiding within the playground’s innovative designs, a darker purpose lies concealed and waiting to reveal itself in all its terrible wickedness. The children become unwitting subjects in Borden’s experiment and are thrust into a world of violence, compelling them to mature beyond their years. Amidst the ominous architecture and looming peril, their survival hinges on resolving their conflicts before the playground’s evil engulfs them. Fair warning: Playground vividly portrays graphic scenes and intense suffering undergone by children, as hinted by the title, synopsis, and cover. It is one of the most extreme horror books ever written. #2 No One Rides For Free by Judith Sonnet When Judi stops for petrol, a strange man enters the car with her and her children. He is unhinged and quite insane, but he also has a gun and a knife, so Jodi is compelled to do as he says. Things escalate quickly when the man forces them to drive off into the lonely desert. Despite its short length, No One Rides For Free does a good job building up dread and fear first, only to culminate in an orgasmic explosion of violence and sexual assault later where both Jodi and the children wish they were never born. This is a short one, a novella. Truly sick and disturbing and a quick read. Excellent if you want to get your nauseating fix, but be warned: this is almost glorification-levels of violence and assault. #3 Cows by Matthew Stokoe Cows follows 25-year-old Steven, who lives with his sadistic mother (called the Hagbeast) and his crippled dog called Dog (who is his only friend). Things are set in motion when Steven starts a new job at a slaughterhouse, where he is taken in by a brotherhood of butchers, sharing desires of blood and dark sexual fantasies. Things seem to get better (they won’t) when he meets his upstairs neighbour, Lucy. Lucy, though, is obsessed with vivisection of the still-alive kind. From there, Cows becomes a deluge of gore, senseless slaughter, extreme violence and sex, bestiality, torture, and a peculiar mother-son relationship (yeah…). If you want to “enlighten” your darkest, vilest fantasies with things you never held possible, Cows is the extreme horror book you never knew you wanted to read. #4 The Groomer by Jon Athan Imagine a groomer, a paedophile, around your child. Now imagine you get their hands on them and get to exact every cruel fantasy you desire onto them. We follow Andrew McCarthy, who shares similar concerns and harbours similar fantasies for a man called Zachary Denton. After Zachary photographs Andrew’s daughter and other kids in a park, Andrew starts a search for known sex offenders. This sets him off in a wild and delirious pursuit of everyone he deems a threat to his family. This one describes what any dad has felt at some or multiple points in his life. A warning not to become obsessed, but at the same time, a good reminder that fathers have a moral and biological obligation toward their children that goes beyond the law. Use as inspiration. #5 Woom by Duncan Ralston Where do I even start with this one? Woom has two distinct story elements. One takes place in a seedy motel room where a man called Angel invites an obese prostitute called Shyla to spend the night. They don’t have sex; instead, Angel tells Shyla about all the things that happened in this room. The story then alternates between Angel and Shyla’s direct talks in the room and the stories Angels tells about what happened in that room. The stories revolve around drug abuse, death, sexual assault and, in particular, “deep” and “wide” vaginas. All the stories differ, but they have an overarching plot that comes together in the end ─ where Angel really goes “deep” and “wide” with Shyla. Disgusting, violent and sad, all at the same time. #6 Self-Plug: Night Demon by Stephen Wolberius Who’d have thought a reader of extreme horror books would put some of that extremeness into his own writing? Night Demon is Gothic horror with modern prose but also includes scenes and elements from extreme horror ─ like the vivid description of directed, bisected and torn apart bodies, gruelling pain and agony and all other manner of extreme horror. Here is the blurb: Lilian, a thirteen-year-old factory worker in an industrialising town plagued by a serial killer, can see an invisible affliction within other people. When her search for her missing best friend ends with a confrontation with a demon — and learning that the affliction turns humans into demons — another demon named Lucian saves her life and promises answers. Her first clue is that demons are responsible for the many murders. Unfortunately, Lilian’s new lead has problems of his own — Demon Hunters, who claim Lucian is the serial killer and who see Lilian as an accessory. Can her ability to communicate with these creatures be used to solve the crimes? Or will her connection to the Netherworld prove to be her own undoing… Why the Lower Ratings on Extreme Horror Books? Like with Splatterpunk Books, it’s rare to find extreme horror books with stellar ratings. Most float between 2 and 3.5 stars on aggregators like Goodreads. This is due to the extreme niche nature of the subgenre. People look for mainstream horror and don’t realise that “extreme” means something totally other than what they’re used to. This leads to lower ratings in general for extreme horror books. Another phenomenon that pressed down on ratings is “hate reads.” People know they’ll hate the book; they’ve seen the hype and know why they’ll hate it, but they still hate it out of a morbid curiosity. Instead of reckoning with themselves that they knew they wouldn’t like it, they lambast the book and author with a bad review.

Average HOA Fees in Virginia: Overview Most American homeowners belong to a Homeowners Association (HOA) in their local neighborhoods. A homeowner’s association (HOA) can provide its members with several benefits, but it also mandates that they pay dues and follow specific guidelines. Even in Northern Virginia, there are HOA dues, but there’s no need to worry as these costs vary by neighborhood and the facilities and services they provide. A board of voluntarily selected residents privately manages a homeowners association or HOA. Average Hoa Fees in Virginia range from $100 to $200. Homes with HOA dues between $100 and a little over $100 may be found in the Manassas and Leesburg regions. However, The HOA cost may be as high as $400 in southern areas like Alexandria. While a $400,000 property in Alexandria has monthly HOA dues of $425, a $1.5M home in Leesburg has a $100 HOA charge. Northern Virginia HOA Fees The monthly payment that residents of residential properties in a neighborhood make to their individual homeowners’ organizations, or HOAs, is known as an HOA fee. The dues are used for the upkeep, amenities, maintenance, repairs, and enhancement of the organization’s residences. Condo owners often pay HOA dues, although they may also be necessary in some single-family neighborhoods. Monthly costs range from $100 to $300, depending on the neighborhood’s features and location. If you purchase a home in Virginia and the area already has an HOA, you must join the group and follow its rules and regulations. Upon closing, your real estate agent should provide HOA documents outlining the laws and ordinances. Protecting the property values of every resident is the HOA’s top priority. Homeowners who volunteer to sit on their HOA boards manage tasks like budgeting and repairs. Residences in North Virginias Homes in North Virginia’s northern region have much cheaper HOA dues than those in the state’s central and southern areas. Therefore, Loudoun County is an excellent alternative if you are looking for a home in a community with affordable HOA dues because the HOA dues are between $70 to $100 per month, regardless of the value of your home. HOA dues are an expense you should consider and budget for if you intend to move into a new house. You must be aware of the monthly HOA dues you must pay. Homeowners benefit from HOA fees. These fees guarantee that those who live there remain secure and at ease in their neighborhood.

Your cart is currently empty! Program Founder, Jean Kirkpatrick, Ph.D. Dr. Jean Kirkpatrick couldn’t cope with the fact that she was the first woman to receive the Fels Fellowship award at the University of Pennsylvania, so she went out and got drunk. Fearing that a mistake had been made and the funds to write her doctoral dissertation would be taken away, Dr. Kirkpatrick broke 3 years of sobriety with a drunk that lasted 13 years. In Turnabout: New Help for the Woman Alcoholic, Dr. Kirkpatrick describes these years, the self-destruction, and how she finally was able to stop drinking. With her own sobriety established by methods other than the traditional AA Program, Dr. Kirkpatrick formed the Women for Sobriety, Inc., organization and the New Life Program, and devoted the remainder of her life to helping women with addictions. Who would think that this dynamic, intelligent, energetic woman had a history of addiction with suicide attempts and a stay in a psychiatric hospital? What amazed Dr. Kirkpatrick is not that she had a severe drinking problem, but that in all the years of her drinking, not once was she diagnosed as having a Substance Use Disorder. Coming from a small town in eastern Pennsylvania, Jean was the only child of a prominent family. All through her life she rebelled against authority and the existing systems. At 19, she eloped with a young man in the Signal Corps just after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Her husband was soon commissioned an officer and the young couple was stationed in numerous airbases in the west and southwest. Jean said that this is where her serious drinking began. Although she was not yet deeply into her Alcohol Use Disorder, the definite signs that she was well on her way were there. After the war, like so many other wartime marriages, she found herself a young divorcee. She then entered Moravian College for Women, “Because it was the only college that would accept me, I had been thrown out of so many.” She became an honor student and was elected to the Who’s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges in 1950. Dr. Kirkpatrick continued her education with a Master’s Degree in English from Lehigh University in 1954 after having taught a year in a Kansas high school. In 1955, she entered the University of Pennsylvania’s doctoral program and was awarded the Frances Sargent Pepper Fellowship, Bloomfield Moore Fellow; Joseph M. Bennett Fellowship; the University Women’s Fellowship; and was the University of Pennsylvania’s Woman of the Year in 1958. During the time of her doctoral work at the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Kirkpatrick came to grips with her alcohol problem, joined AA, and was sober for 3 years. But the final award of the Fels Fellowship was the beginning of a final drinking bout that lasted for 13 years. When she returned to AA 13 years later, she wanted to hear new ideas and new things. AA just wasn’t saying to her what she needed to hear. The fault was not with the AA Program but was in Jean’s own need to know about herself. And so she continued to drink. During this time Jean began to read more and more the writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson and other metaphysical writers. She began to see that by changing her thoughts she could change herself. By changing her thought when she was lonely or depressed, she would manage to string together 2 or 3 days of sobriety. Little by little these days became weeks and soon months. Finally, Jean Kirkpatrick, professional alcoholic, was sober a year. Her sobriety was achieved by realizing that she was a capable woman and that all her problems were the creation of her own mind. Not that problems weren’t there, but she was able to look at them differently and so create her own way of reacting to them or acting upon them. t this time, her father died and she was forced to move in with her aging mother. Her father’s estate was quite small and she was confronted with the fact that she would have to find some work to help support herself and her mother. She was over 45 with a Ph.D. in sociology and recovered woman alcoholic. The prospects of finding a job weren’t good. She tried various means of self-employment, all of which failed. Then in 1973, Dr. Kirkpatrick realized that she had knowledge of how to recover from Alcohol Use Disorder by a unique means, one that she could share with other women suffering from addiction. She had found her life’s goal. Armed with her own recovery and an instinctive knowledge that women with addictions had special needs that must be met in order to overcome their Substance Use Disorder and have lasting sobriety, Dr. Kirkpatrick set about establishing the first self-help organization for women in recovery, Women For Sobriety (WFS). From the beginning she felt that women with addictions had the same problems she did, i.e., little or no self-esteem, depression, loneliness and excessive feelings of guilt. She knew that she had found a way to overcome these feelings and felt other women would benefit from her experience. In 1973 Dr. Kirkpatrick set her plan of recovery into an acceptance program that she called New Life. She felt that New Life groups could meet in homes and women would practice the New Program. In 1975, she used the name Women For Sobriety, Inc., to establish a nonprofit organization. She formalized thirteen affirmations that had been helpful in her own recovery into the thirteen Acceptance Statements which are still used today. In October of 1977, Woman’s Day magazine ran an article, “When A Woman Drinks Too Much,” that told of a woman’s drinking problem and how she overcame her problem with a new Program, something different from AA. From this article came thousands of letters from women seeking help for their own Substance Use Disorders. After hearing about WFS, an editor at Doubleday Books approached Jean to write a story about her addiction and her recovery. The printed copy of Turnabout is exactly as Jean wrote it –Doubleday editors did not edit the manuscript at all. By this time, Jean had been quite used to public speaking, radio, and TV interviews. She was becoming a featured speaker at addiction conferences, a good person to interview on radio and TV talk shows, and good newspaper space. People wanted to know about this attractive brunette woman and her horrible drinking past. They were also interested in learning about this new approach to recovery that was so different from the established model. And women and their families were writing letters to WFS at the rate of 100 letters a week for additional information about the program. In January 1978, Jean’s book was released. She appeared on “The Today Show,” “Good Morning America,” and “To Tell The Truth” to name just a few TV shows. With her appearance on the “Phil Donahue Show”, WFS received 500 letters a day for one week. Those letters expressed the views of women across the country. They said, “Yes, that’s what happened to me; your expressing exactly those things I feel and thank you for telling my story.” Women For Sobriety has received over 80,000 letters from women and their families. These letters show that what Jean felt from the beginning was true: women do have special problems in recovery and, in order for them to have lasting sobriety, programs for them must address these needs, especially the building of self-esteem. Dr. Kirkpatrick became recognized as an expert on addiction in women. She twice appeared before Senate sub-committees testifying on the special needs of women in recovery. Since her recovery, Dr. Kirkpatrick has devoted herself tirelessly to the plight of women in recovery. In June of 1978, the Moravian College Alumni Association awarded her their highest honor — The Raymond Hauper Humanitarian Award for her “outstanding service in the cause of human welfare.” At the time, this award had only been given 3 times in the 145-year history of the college. The dream of Dr. Kirkpatrick to have women meet in self-help groups throughout the country has become a reality, and treatment facilities also use the program. Thousands of women have written in to say that they finally reached sobriety after years and years of being unsuccessful. Finally, they learned who they were and what they can do, and many end their letters with, “Thank you, Jean, for saving my life.” On June 19, 2000, Dr. Jean Kirkpatrick passed away at the age of 77. Her life experiences and recovery journey, expressed so well in her books and the WFS New Life Program, have had such a personal and positive impact on many women in recovery. Her desire was to see that WFS continue after her passing so that not one single woman would have to take the journey to recovery alone. WFS participants, staff members, and the Board of Directors are dedicated and committed to keeping the WFS New Life Program available for all those seeking help from their addictions.

I don’t recall where I found this recipe but I know one thing for sure, it makes a near identical recipe to the walnut crunch cake donuts that were commercially available here in Canada. No one knows for sure why its no longer made commercially. Luckily, we have a recipe that will allow people to make them at home. [Footnote: I will add more pictures and a youtube video in the next week or so.] I will start with the recipe, then I’ll talk about how to make them. I use the cups and tablespoons for measuring, so the grams calculations is estimated. WoodchuckCanuck Walnut Crunch 30 g (2 T) butter 45 g (1/2 cup) walnuts, chopped 2 Whole eggs (large) 150g (3/4 cup) white sugar 1/4 cup buttermilk (or sub with 3/4 tsp lemon juice and top up with milk, set aside for 15 min before using) 1 tsp Vanilla flavouring 180 g (1-1/2 cup) all purpose flour 42g (6 T) cocoa powder 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 1/3 tsp dry instant coffee grounds, crushed (simply crush in palm of your hand with finger) Sift these ingredients together. 3-1/2 cups icing sugar 1/4 cup boiling water (more will be needed to adjust) 2 tsp corn syrup pinch of salt Step 1: Combine Part A. Melt the butter on the stove in a small pan, cook with walnuts until brown. Set aside to cool. Step 2: Combine Part B. Whip eggs and sugar until pale and thickened. Should take 2-3 minutes. I used a whip on the 5qt KitchenAid mixer. Step 3: Add Part C. Add buttermilk and flavouring to the eggs and sugar mixture. Stir to combine well. Step 4: Change out the whip on the mixer for the paddle. Add Part D to the mixed ingredients and also add Part A. Mix to a semi stiff dough for about 20 seconds on medium speed. Step 5: If the dough appears a bit soft on the bottom, use a plastic scraper to fold in the dough while still in the bowl. Then turn out onto a flour surface on the counter top. Knead about 6 times using a little more flour if necessary. Remember that the more flour you use, the more dry the donut will become. Step 6: Set the kneaded dough on a plate in the fridge for about 20 minutes. It will be soft and slightly sticky. Step 7: While dough is setting in the fridge, make the glaze. Using a 5qt mixer with paddle, insert the icing sugar. Blend the hot water, corn syrup and salt together then add to the icing sugar. Stir slowly. Add more hot water to suit the thickness of glaze you want. When making glaze, less is better when adding extra water. So once you have the walnut crunch ready to dip in glaze, do a test and if the glaze is too thick, blend in a wee bit more hot water. Step 8: Prepare the dough. Either cut them evenly and pre-shape individually, or roll out to a rectangular shape on a floured surface countertop to approximately 12×8 inches. I generally like the individual pieces to be 4 inches long and 2 inches wide. I usually like to make 12 from the batch, sometimes I’ll roll the dough a little longer to make them each about 5 inches long. Either way, the rectangle is 10-12 inches wide and then roll it out long enough to get the quantity desired. Cut out the shapes. Pick up each one and brush off the excess flour, I use a natural bristle BBQ brush. Then set the pieces aside to sit while you prep the fryer. This sitting time will allow the baking power to work some. Step 9: Now plug in your fryer to bring it up to temperature. Our fryer maxes out at 374ºF on the dial. The true temp is likely 350º to 360º. It’s close enough. Usually takes about 15 minutes to warm up. The oil I use is generally canola oil, sometimes its vegetable oil. Sometimes it’s a mix of both. You will want some means to flip the donuts, I use two forks. And you will want some means to extract the donuts from the hot oil, I use the basket that comes with the fryer. The picture shows 4 in the fryer but it’s better to cook 3 at a time. Fry for 1 min 15 seconds per side. You may have to adjust that frying time depending on your method. It definitely should not take any longer than 1 min 30 seconds per side. Step 10: As soon as those 3 or 4 donuts come out of the fryer, dip them in glaze and set them on a rack for cooling. Enjoy! We welcome your comments and feedback below. Meanwhile, here are few more photos where we took the recipe and changed a few things to make Lemon Crunch donuts. Also delicious! Update July 2023 Someone asked if the walnut crunch recipe can be oven baked. I said yes but honestly I was not sure so I made a batch and added the following ingredients: - doubled the baking powder to the dry ingredients - added an additional 2 tablespoons of oil (veg or canola) to the liquids (in Parts C) I took a guess the extra baking power would provide a boost in the oven. The addition of the oil would assist with keeping the donut soft after baking. Everything else for the recipe stays as is. I baked them in the oven just like baking a pan of cookies, 350ºF for about 10 minutes. Your oven may vary. When you slightly press the top of the donut after 10 minutes you don’t want to leave an impression of your finger. Glaze them right away. I’ll be honest, they tasted a little bit like a brownie the same day they were baked. The next day, they tasted more like walnut crunch. That’s true of a lot of baked goods. Give them time to sit overnight and the flavours have a chance to cool and settle in. Thanks for stopping by. Have a question? Or have you tried the recipe? Let me know by leaving a message below.
