UN agencies’ alarm at worsening hunger in South Sudan
Three United Nations organizations are calling for immediate humanitarian access to parts of South Sudan’s Pibor County in Jonglei State, where people have run out of food and are facing catastrophic levels of hunger according to a new Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) report…
The high levels of hunger are being driven by insecurity, the effects of COVID-19, the economic crisis, and the impact of flooding on livelihoods, the report said. Humanitarian assistance is needed to save lives and avert a total collapse of livelihoods in hard-to-reach areas.
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the World Food Programme (WFP) are scaling up their response, along with other humanitarian aid organizations.
“We call on all parties to stop the violence and to ensure safe humanitarian access in order to prevent an already dire situation from turning into a full-blown catastrophe,” FAO Representative in South Sudan Meshack Malo said.
“We are extremely concerned about the increased numbers of children suffering from severe acute malnutrition. These children need urgent treatment to prevent them from dying. The data leave us with no doubt about the sense of urgency for all of us – Government, donor community and humanitarian actors – to join hands and ensure all these children get the treatment they need. At the same time, we need to invest more in actions to prevent children from becoming malnourished in the first place,” UNICEF Representative in South Sudan Mohamed Ayoya said.
“WFP is extremely worried about the rising numbers of people suffering because of the lack of sufficient food and nutrition, intensified conflict, unprecedented flooding and high food prices. The coming year will be extremely tough, but we are determined to do all we can to reach more people for longer periods of time,” said Makena Walker, Deputy Country Director of the World Food Programme in South Sudan.
Extreme hunger in parts of Pibor county
Figures in today’s report estimate that between October and November, 6.5 million people in South Sudan faced severe acute food insecurity and are in need of urgent assistance. This number is projected to grow to 7.24 million between April and July 2021.
Today’s report comes after two independent reports published by the IPC Global Support Unit last week which indicated that tens of thousands of people are likely to face famine conditions in Pibor county. In this situation, many families are experiencing high levels of acute malnutrition and even mortality. In another five counties (Akobo, Aweil South, Tonj East, Tonj North and Tonj South), some communities are facing catastrophic conditions, the independent analysis found.
Around 1.4 million children aged between 6 months and 5 years are expected to be acutely malnourished in 2021 and will need life-saving treatment, according to today’s report. This includes 313 000 children suffering from severe acute malnutrition and more than a million children suffering from moderate acute malnutrition. At the same time, 483 000 pregnant or breastfeeding women are acutely malnourished and in need of treatment.
WFP has already begun scaling up its lifesaving food and nutritional assistance to critically food insecure areas in Pibor County as well as other areas of concern, extending its humanitarian response beyond the usual lean season and increasing the number of vulnerable people who need support. In the past two months, WFP has extended its food assistance to nearly 80,000 people in Pibor County. Meanwhile, in Akobo East more than 40,000 people are currently receiving food assistance. WFP will continue to scale up its emergency food response working with partners to build community resilience and development. In total, WFP has provided food assistance to five million people in need in South Sudan in 2020.
UNICEF will further scale up its interventions supporting therapeutic treatment and stabilization centres in the most affected counties to protect and save children’s lives. This year, UNICEF has already treated 170,000 children affected by severe acute malnutrition, with a 94 per cent recovery rate. Further expansion of services is now urgently needed – including to insecure areas – for the treatment of severe acute malnutrition. UNICEF will continue to address the underlying causes of malnutrition such as malaria and diarrheal diseases caused by a lack of clean water, sanitation and hygiene, and investing in prevention of malnutrition through promotion of breastfeeding and good feeding practices for the young child.
FAO’s priority is to assist farming and agro-pastoral communities to increase their production and preserve their livelihoods. So far in 2020, over 100 000 farming families have received support to grow their own food from seeds, and more than 5 million animals have been vaccinated and treated to assist 164 000 households. FAO has also distributed 800 tonnes of emergency animal feed for critical animal stocks, especially in flood-affected locations.

- Scapy is packet crafting, manipulating and analysis suite
- Python interpreter disguised as a Domain Specific Language
- Created by Philippe Biondi
- Helps to forge packets, send & recieve packets, R&W pcaps, alter packets.
- Easy & faster packet desgining.
- Dozens of in-built functions to automate various network utilities/attacks..
You might be wondering that there are dozens of packet crafting tools, network scanners so why should we use Scapy?
Scapy is not just another packet crafting tool, it comes with a lot of new concepts and paradigms.
Scapy is not desgined as a simple but rather a framework upon which you can build other custom tools.
A lot of packet crafting tools does not have a way to set certain fields in packets (limitations of sock_raw
) i.e. the kernel is still in control of certain fields and will calculate those fields on behalf of the tool (checksums, IHL)
Most packet crating tools let’s you fiddle with only limited fields/protocols, it is impossible to stack unrelated protocol headers into a single packet.
- An ICMP echo request with some given padding data
- An IP protocol scan with the More Fragments flag
- Some ARP cache poisoning with a VLAN hopping attack
- A traceroute with an applicative payload (DNS, ISAKMP, etc.)
Scapy tries to overcome those problems. It enables you to build exactly the packets you want. Even if you think stacking a 802.1q layer on top of TCP makes no sense, it may have some for somebody else working on some product.
Scapy has a flexible model that tries to avoid any arbitrary limits. You’re free to put any value you want in any field you want, and stack them like you want. You’re an adult after all.
Tool that interprets - “The port 80 is filtered”
Tool that decodes - “I have recieved ICMP type 3; code 13 from port 80”
- Having a tool that interprets is convenient but it is not the the best approach all the time.
- Tools interpret results based on the tool authors logic but every network is unique, one interpretation does not fit all the senarios.
- Interpreting results can help users that don’t know what a port scan is but it can also make more harm than good, as it injects bias into the results. A more knowledgable penetration tester woud want to see all the information and make interpretation himself. Unfortunately many tools discard most information that is needed.
- Networks are complex especially with the advent of firewalls, cloud infrastructure etc so each pen test is unique and you have to pay attention to even the minute details rather than relying on some tools interpretation blindly.
Other tools stick to the program-that-you-run-from-a-shell paradigm. The result is an awful syntax to describe a packet. For these tools, the solution adopted uses a higher but less powerful description, in the form of scenarios imagined by the tool’s author. As an example, only the IP address must be given to a port scanner to trigger the port scanning scenario. Even if the scenario is tweaked a bit, you still are stuck to a port scan.
Scapy is not a simple shell command program; Scapy runs inside Python interpreter, provides you the whole language when dealing with packets but you don’t need to master Python to use Scapy though.
Scapy’s paradigm is to propose a Domain Specific Language (DSL) that enables a powerful and fast description of any kind of packet. Using the Python syntax and a Python interpreter as the DSL syntax and interpreter has many advantages: there is no need to write a separate interpreter, users don’t need to learn yet another language and they benefit from a complete, concise and very powerful language.
Network recon/Network mapping is not simply scanning ports, it’s far more complex and involves techniques like TTL analysis, understanding IP based trust relationships in the network etc.
Unlike many tools, which discard all the information which they deem irrelavent, Scapy gives all the information, i.e. all the stimuli sent and all the responses received. Scapy gives the complete raw data, which can be used many times during analysis. You’ll have all the Power of Python to dig through the data and perform analysis.
- Scapy is not designed for fast throughput. It’s written in Python which comes with many layers of abstraction.
- Scapy does not go easy on memory (Each packet is a class instance). Not a right choice for analysing large packet captures. | <urn:uuid:aa9b83b4-588a-40af-81b6-e80293a07bc4> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://scapy.disruptivelabs.in/scapy/scapy_intro | 2024-02-28T06:18:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.908127 | 994 |
Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumor in children. Treatment with surgery, irradiation, and chemotherapy has improved survival in recent years, but patients are frequently left with devastating neurocognitive and other sequelae. Patients in molecular subgroups 3 and 4 still experience a high mortality rate. To identify new pathways contributing to medulloblastoma development and create new routes for therapy, we have been studying oncogenic RNA-binding proteins. We defined Musashi1 (Msi1) as one of the main drivers of medulloblastoma development. The high expression of Msi1 is prevalent in Group 4 and correlates with poor prognosis while its knockdown disrupted cancer-relevant phenotypes. Genomic analyses (RNA-seq and RIP-seq) indicated that cell cycle and division are the main biological categories regulated by Msi1 in Group 4 medulloblastoma. The most prominent Msi1 targets include CDK2, CDK6, CCND1, CDKN2A, and CCNA1. The inhibition of Msi1 with luteolin affected the growth of CHLA-01 and CHLA-01R Group 4 medulloblastoma cells and a synergistic effect was observed when luteolin and the mitosis inhibitor, vincristine, were combined. These findings indicate that a combined therapeutic strategy (Msi1 + cell cycle/division inhibitors) could work as an alternative to treat Group 4 medulloblastoma.

A Software Environment for Watershed Modeling
Computer Science and Engineering
The proposed Software Environment for Watershed Modeling is a service-oriented framework developed to assist watershed modeling for the NSF EPSCoR-funded Western Consortium for Water Analysis, Visualization, and Exploration (WC-WAVE) project. Watershed scientists use different modeling tools to model physical phenomena across different basins. We propose a web-service centric framework to expose models as services. The framework will allow model execution in the cloud environment, submission of model data through the NetCDF standard data format and storage and access to the model resources through web services. The framework allows an easy way to publish models as linux container images through an image hub.We present background on the WC-WAVE project and the different models used in the system, describe the design and implementation of the system, provide some feature based comparisons with other related works and finally conclude the thesis with remarks and directions for future works. | <urn:uuid:e661b9de-0487-4b7d-b770-cfbce654147e> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://scholarworks.unr.edu/handle/11714/2238 | 2024-02-28T07:22:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.874476 | 233 |
NEW DELHI :. Atal Innovation Mission (AIM) NITI Aayog and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Sunday hosted a three day long Youth Co:Lab -national innovation challenge here in Delhi after a series of successful challenges held in past two phases across the country.
With efforts of AIM and UNDPto support young people by catalysing youth-led innovation, empowering them through Youth Co:Lab, four winning teams made it the list to represent India at the Youth Co:Lab Regional Innovation Challenge in Malaysia slated to be held in April this year.
Youth Co: Lab launched in collaboration by AIM and UNDP earlier, aims at fostering technology, promoting youth leadership and social entrepreneurship in India.
As a part of the first phase of Youth Co: Lab’s national innovation challenge, a series of innovation challenges were held in four cities– Jyothy Foundation (Bengaluru), AIC – Rambhau Mhalgi Prabodhini Foundation (Mumbai), AIC – Prestige Inspire Foundation (Indore) and AIC – Mahamana Foundation For Innovation and Entrepreneurship – IM-BHU (Varanasi).
The event saw the participation of more than 60 teams from which top 15 winning teams contested in the National Innovation Challenge in Delhi. Another 15 teams had been chosen via the nomination method from the pool of start-ups incubated at the Atal Incubation Centres.
Following this, UNDP and Atal Innovation Mission hosted a three day Youth Co: Lab National Innovation Challenge, 17-19 January 2020 in Delhi in which 30 selected teams participated.
While the first two days focussed on equipping these young change makers with entrepreneurial and 21st century skills to refine their solutions, the final day, saw them present their innovative ideas in front of a jury comprising of key ecosystem enablers.
Sharing his views about the national innovation challenge, Mission Director AIM R Ramanan, said, “We are proud to have partnered with UNDP for this important initiative and are proud to announce that around 300 teams have participated in Youth Co: Lab and over 30 teams in finalists have presented their solutions. Many of them will have the opportunity to avail themselves of world class incubators set up by the AIM as well as the UNDP accelerator program for them to realise their potential and convert their innovation into product that could be used by the millions.”
He added that it will enable young students from all over the country and all over the world to participate in ideation and coming up with innovative solutions to many of the problems faced by the word aligned with the SDGs.
The top two teams will be fully funded, while the next two teams will be partially funded for the final summit. The four teams will also participate in the Regional Springboard Programme. Further, Top eight teams will get incubated at the Atal Incubation Centres and receive support from UNDP to enhance their impact management for a year.
While speaking on the occasion Ms Shoko Noda, Resident Representative, UNDP India said that‘‘We at UNDP believe in the power of young people to be change makers in our society. Young people are a central part of the endeavour in achieving the SDGs. Youth Co:Lab is unleashing youth’s creativity, potential and innovation. Through this engagement, we are seeing real impact on their lives, on the issues that matter to them and the future of our planet.
Co-created in 2017 by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Citi Foundation, Youth Co:Lab aims to establish a common agenda for Asia-Pacific countries to invest in and empower youth to accelerate implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through leadership, social innovation and entrepreneurship.
By developing 21st century skills, catalysing and sustaining youth-led start-ups and social enterprises across the region, Youth Co:Lab is positioning young people front and centre in order to solve the region’s most pressing challenges.
With presence in over 20 countries in Asia and the Pacific, Youth Co:Lab was launched in India last year in October, in collaboration with Atal Innovation Mission, NITI Aayog. | <urn:uuid:191ce244-544c-44d6-9fb2-69f21510da1f> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://schooltimesindia.com/archives/2235 | 2024-02-28T05:28:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.946682 | 876 |

Zarina Hashmi was born in Aligarh, India, in 1937. She is an Indian artist who is known for her work in printing, drawing, and sculpture. After completing her mathematics education at Aligarh Muslim University, she started on her artistic path. She went to Bangkok to learn the intricate details of woodblock printing, and then she went to Atelier-17 in Paris to study intaglio under the direction of S.W. Hayter.
Deeply meaningful topics like home, displacement, borders, and memories dominated Hashmi’s artistic expression. Her mastery of printmaking distinguished her as a trailblazer, and her works were praised for their emotive impact, clarity, and grace.
Her work was featured in solo and group exhibitions all over the world, including prestigious venues like the Venice Biennale, the Guggenheim Museum, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Hashmi’s profound influence was recognized with numerous honors, including the Padma Shri, India’s prestigious fourth-highest civilian award, given to her in 2006.
Zarina Hashmi Illness and Health Before Death
People are curious about Zarina Hashmi’s sickness in detail. Zarina Hashmi passed away quietly on April 25, 2020, in London, where she lived with her niece and nephew, after a prolonged illness (Alzheimer’s disease). The demise of Zarina Hashmi occurred on April 25, 2020.
She developed a passion for painting at a young age, held onto it throughout her career, and eventually rose to become one of the most in-demand artists. The influences for Zarina’s art come from her identity as an Indian lady who was born a Muslim, her family history, and a life spent traveling from place to place.
She and her family lived in several cities, including Bangkok, Delhi, Bonn, Los Angeles, Tokyo, New York, and eventually London. She then noticed several of these locations that provided the inspiration for a set of woodcuts after saying, “I don’t feel at home anywhere, but the idea of home follows me wherever I go.”
Zarina Rashid’s Career
Sheikh Abdur Rashid, a professor at Aligarh Muslim University, and Fahmida Begum, a housewife, welcomed Zarina Rashid into the world on July 16, 1937, in Aligarh, British India. 1958 Aligarh Muslim University awarded Zarina a BS in mathematics as her degree.
Later, she studied other printmaking methods in Thailand, Paris’ Atelier 17 workshop, where she worked as Stanley William Hayter‘s apprentice, and Tokyo, Japan, where she collaborated with the artist Tshi Yoshida.
She was a team member and a resident of New York. In the 1980s, Zarina co-chaired the board of the New York Feminist Art Institute while instructing papermaking classes at the Connected Women’s Center for Learning.
She served on the editorial board of the feminist art magazine Heresies and contributed to the “Third World Women” issue. Zarina passed away in London on April 25, 2020, as a result of complications from her Alzheimer’s condition. On July 16, 2023, a Google Doodle celebrating Zarina’s 86th birthday went live.
Zarina wed diplomat Saad Hashmi in 1958, and the two of them had two kids. The family resided abroad throughout Saad’s diplomatic career, including Bangkok, Paris, Bonn, and Delhi. These various cultural encounters and moves surely shaped Zarina’s artistic viewpoints and encouraged her research of subjects like “home,” “displacement,” “borders,” and “memory.” | <urn:uuid:b9c72e84-97bd-47e5-a404-729c8b448d35> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://scpsmag.org/celebrity/zarina-hashmi-cause-of-death/ | 2024-02-28T07:18:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.971887 | 804 |

Climate change is a pressing 21st century issue when it comes to flooding and amplification of water quality degradation due to increase in extreme precipitation events. Delaware River is the one of the longest rivers in the east of Mississippi, which starts from Hancock of New York, passes through New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and finally drains into Delaware Bay.
Among the factors are nonpoint source pollution from residential development and agricultural activities, along with climate change degrading the water quality in the Delaware River Watershed as well as creating flash flooding. The Upper Salem River Watershed, a tributary to Delaware River that spans a 15-square mile drainage area, faces both water quality degradation and flash flooding in several of its river sections.
In an effort to improve and maintain water quality and to reduce flooding in the watershed, a research team from Rutgers Center for Remote Sensing and Spatial Analysis (CRSSA), Rutgers Cooperative Extension Water Resources Program along with the Association of New Jersey Environmental Commissions and South Jersey Land and Water Trust has been awarded a $220,000 grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation to implement several green infrastructure projects inside the hotspots.
According to Subhasis Giri, assistant research professor with CRSSA and the Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Natural Resources, “the end results of these on-the-ground green infrastructures implementation will enhance flooding resiliency in the communities in the Delaware River Basin as well as it will help to maintain a healthy ecosystem, which will be beneficial to fish, wildlife, and people.” | <urn:uuid:82c9d200-701b-47e1-b595-70b76b744936> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://sebsnjaesnews.rutgers.edu/2021/10/national-fish-and-wildlife-foundation-awards-220000-grant-to-implement-green-stormwater-improvements-in-upper-salem-valley-watershed/ | 2024-02-28T05:29:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.942949 | 314 |

Ensuring that chips are secure through systematic verification.
Even mature chip development teams and processes aren’t immune to security errors. While many semiconductor and hardware manufacturing organizations have mature development processes, existing security testing practices, and formal signoff requirements, the complexity and duration of the chip lifecycle creates many opportunities for security issues to be overlooked.
Semiconductors now play an integral role in modern life, and failure to catch hardware vulnerabilities early can have devastating consequences that are more costly and time-consuming to correct than software vulnerabilities.

Coordinator of the Navalny headquarters and Mordovia branch of liquidated network movement Open Russia Yevgeny Pashutkin asked Finland for political asylum. He decided to emigrate after his accounts were seized in the "FBK case" and there was a threat of criminal proceedings against him for cooperation with an "undesirable organization". He told about it to the correspondent "7x7" on October 1.
As Pashutkin told "7x7", over the year, Mordovian courts had imposed him two administrative penalties for cooperation with "the undesirable organization" and the threat of being charged with Article 284.1 of the Criminal Code ("Carrying out the activity of the undesirable organization") had appeared, and the Investigative Committee of Russia had begun investigation of the «FBK case» about alleged laundering of more than 1 billion rubles by supporters of politician Alexei Navalny.
Yevgeny Pashutkin feared that he would be prohibited to leave Russia, as in the case of coordinator of the St. Petersburg Navalny headquarters Denis Mikhailov, and then sentenced to imprisonment. Initially, he planned to go to Finland with his family and come back, but after his departure, friends told him about the discontent in the Investigative Committee’s regional department:
— When I was already here, I was informed from Saransk that the Investigative Committee was interested in me administrative cases. They found out that I had gone abroad, and they [got mad] about it. That does it, I have decided to stay here.
Pashutkin said that considering his petition could take some time, but he had the opportunity to be in the country, despite the fact that his accounts, as well as accounts of other activists in the "FBK case", contained −75 million rubles.
Activists of Open Russia from Chuvashia, Tatarstan, and Tyumen Oblast had left Russia due to the threat of criminal cases.
During mass protests in Moscow, the Investigative Committee of Russia opened a criminal case under Article 174 of the Criminal Code ("The Legalisation (Laundering) of Funds") on August 3, 2019 and arrested the accounts of the coordinators of the regional headquarters of the politician Alexei Navalny and non-profit organization Anti-Corruption Foundation. Investigators believe that from 2016 to 2018, staff members contributed to the account of the FBK money, allegedly obtained from criminal activity. According to the newspaper "Vedomosti", the investigators did not provide any information about the crimes after which the FBC allegedly got the money.
Criminal liability for working for an "undesirable organization" was introduced into Russian law in 2015. It is applied after the court has issued two indictments under the same article of the Administrative Code. The first person involved in the criminal case under this article was the coordinator of the Rostov headquarters of Open Russia Anastasia Shevchenko — investigators consider network movement Open Russia to be undesirable same-name British movement. In March 2019, the network movement was liquidated. | <urn:uuid:4aa22805-42c8-4d3e-ba4f-39461d324950> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://semnasem.org/news/2019/10/01/coordinator-of-the-navalny-headquarters-and-the-open-russia-office-in-saransk-asked-for-political-asylum-in-finland | 2024-02-28T05:25:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.978622 | 627 |

"The 'Red' vs. 'Blue' Crime Debate and the Limits of Empirical Social Science"
The title of this post is the title of this notable new Issue Brief from the Manhattan Institute authored by George Borjas and Robert VerBruggen. Here is how it gets started:
For the past two years, several think tanks on opposite sides of the political divide have waged war over whether “red” or “blue” America has a worse crime problem. Commentators on the left have pointed out that red states have higher homicide rates than blue states, while those on the right have noted that the relationship is more nuanced and can easily flip at a more local level: red-state crime problems are often concentrated in blue cities, and red counties have lower murder rates than blue counties.
In this brief, we do two things.
First, we highlight this debate as an example of how seemingly minor research decisions — such as whether to analyze data at the state or at the local level — can drastically change results. If we look at the county level, Democratic areas seem particularly murder-ridden; but when we look at the state level, Republican states are clearly more violent. Casual consumers of empirical social science research often fail to appreciate all the ways in which researchers can manipulate the data to say whatever they want.
Second, we want to move the debate forward by showing how the correlation between crime and partisanship changes after adjusting for differences in social characteristics that could affect both crime rates and partisanship, such as the age, income, and racial composition of the region. Previous analyses have sometimes noted the importance of these potential confounders, but few have addressed the problem clearly and compellingly.
The upshot is that models with control variables — in other words, models that compare states or counties with roughly similar demographic and economic characteristics — tell a much less spectacular story than those without. In fact, by adjusting for differences in basic demographic and economic characteristics, we can easily make the red–blue difference in homicide rates disappear. Perhaps further research with more advanced and complex designs could make additional progress on the question. However, given the sensitivity of the conclusions to how the researcher chooses to analyze the data, we suspect that such effort would be better spent studying and debating concrete policies, as opposed to figuring out which political party has the most violent constituents.
The authors of this issue brief also have this short City Journal piece headlined "More Crime Analysis, Less Crime Politics: Both sides of the debate manipulate data for their own purposes." It starts this way:
Since crime spiked in 2020, politicians and pundits have scrambled to figure out what they think is the root problem: whether Republicans or Democrats are more to blame.
Conservatives blame soft-on-crime policies in big cities, noting that many Democratic-run cities have long suffered from high crime rates and that many such places experienced particularly large spikes over the past four years. Liberals counter that, at the state level, it’s Trump-voting states that have higher murder rates, which they largely blame on irresponsible gun laws.
In a new Manhattan Institute brief, we try to calm things down a bit — and urge those worried about crime to think about which policies work, not about whether the politicians implementing them happen to be Democrats or Republicans.

C'mon, federalist. Take off the gloves. Liberals are idiots on _all_ points, aren't they?
Doesn't that go without saying in every single one of your posts? Name a single thing they get right. Not historically--we all know that liberals lost the plot starting with the Reform Act of 1832 in the British Parliament (when they stopped being "classical"), but today, and consistently for the past 100 years or so.

Well for one thing PBR, have you been paying attention to Senator Kennedy's defenestration of various Biden nominees? And have you watched all the ink spilled on Section 3?
Posted by: federalist | Feb 12, 2024 12:33:54 PM
I surely have not been paying much attention to any confirmation hearings. I expect little from Biden or his nominees for any office.
And I surely have not read "all" the ink spilled on Section 3 (of the 14th Amendment, I presume you mean). I think the the argument that the President isn't an officer of the United States is thoroughly ridiculous. I'm less sure of the argument that the state should be able to ban people from the ballot. Such disabilities will be far more often applied to decent folks like Eugene V. Debs than ass clowns like Trump, because ass clowns seek power as a first resort rather than a last one, and prefer to deal with their own kind. Anyway... For quite a while in our history, ballots were hand-written by the voter--how would you have stopped someone's name from appearing on them then? (Perhaps they still are in some places in New England.) I think Trump attempted a self-coup and predict that any jury without a clandestine MAGA hat on it to hang it would convict him. I also don't think his second impeachment in the House with acquittal in the Senate constituted a criminal proceeding or placed him in criminal jeopardy.
I also think it's just fine that we still have the Reconstruction Amendments on the books. God knows we didn't get enough use out of them while the Civil War was still a memory to the living. When Rutherford B. Hayes redeployed troops from the insurrectionist South to break strikes in St. Louis and later in Albany, Buffalo, and Syracuse, that was ass-kickin' that enjoyed bipartisan consensus--an early redirection of the Republican Party away from the distressing legacy of Thaddeus Stevens and James M. Hinds (the latter an early exemplar of Sharron Angle's "Second Amendment Remedies"). Thurmond, Goldwater, Nixon, and Reagan finished what President Hayes had started. It took so long only because for decades both parties were so unwaveringly racist and pro-capital. (His many virtues aside, U. S. Grant was either a dupe or completely out of his depth in dealing with tycoons.)
I'd be pleased to see Donald Trump imprisoned for his attempted self-coup. But I have to be realistic, assuming the Supreme Court doesn't help him back into office via one of the many insane contingencies Team Conservative is preparing for this fall--we should prepare for Brooks Brothers Riots, like that in Miami in 2000, to be canned and ready to go. At best I expect Trump to die in exile, perhaps in Saudi Arabia like Idi Amin, who'd be a much bigger hero to the bullshit peddlers of the northern hemisphere if only his skin had been lighter.

That would be the first 12 words of my comment, after federalist's nom de guerre. If reading and interpreting that sentence constitutes a "plowing" effort for you, then I suggest you might want to hire a clerk to do your shoveling, er, reading for you.
I'm sure the Federalist Society has some interns who will serve adequately, and moreover help you to stay on the straight and narrow. Politruks need to remain occupied.

Parley Ocean School
Parley Ocean School takes an immersive approach to environmental education – with the goal of inspiring marine conservation and empowering its next generation of leaders. Our youth programs simplify complex marine threats, covering marine and coastal pollution, the preservation of natural resources, ocean safety, ocean careers, renewable energy and resources, upcycling, recycling and how to adopt a healthy, eco-conscious lifestyle.
The Parley Ocean School in Hout Bay opened its doors in December 2020. With the generous support and partnership of Parley For The Oceans we developed and now offer a comprehensive and extensive 8 week programme to the children who come to our school in order to deepen their understanding of the issues presented, thereby creating the catalyst for real change in their lives.
The forty-foot educational container hosts sessions dedicated to deepening a physical, scientific and cultural understanding of the marine environment through engaging materials, activities and workshops.
Our programme forges a strong love for and connection with the ocean to help create tangible impact on the lives of these children, and the health of our environment. In addition to imparting theoretical ocean knowledge, our engaging curriculum also includes many practical and hands-on activities.
We also have weekly guest speakers and collaborators to make this programme as stimulating and impactful as possible. Our curriculum covers a range of topics including how we are connected to the ocean, marine biodiversity, our local marine ecosystems, ocean threats, marine plastic pollution and the Parley AIR Strategy.
Empowering the young people taking part in our programs, we hope to inspire an entire generation to become more conscious, healthy and responsible for their environment.

- Okonomiyaki Sauce. Buy Otafuku or make it yourself as described below)
- Mayonnaise (Kewpie Mayonnaise is recommended)
- Aonori (Tiny pieces of dried seaweed)
- 3 spring onions, finely chopped
Okonomiyaki (Hiroshima style)
- 12 tablespoons of flour
- ½ tablespoon mirin (sweet rice wine for cooking. Can be omitted)
- a little salt
- ½ scallion
- 1 leek
- 200 g bean sprouts
- 1 package of bacon or thinly sliced pork loin
- 4 eggs
- 400 g pre-cooked soba noodles (replace with another type of noodle if necessary)
- Katsuobushi ground very fine in a mortar (Smoked, dried Bonito fish planed into very thin flakes) Can be omitted.
If possible, buy Otafuku Okonomiyaki Sauce. Can be bought in most Asian supermarkets such as:
- Kakshidi Food in Kødbyen, Copenhagen
- The Chinese Merchant near Nørreport Station, Copenhagen
- Far East Trading close to Bruuns Galleri, Aarhus
You can also try to make it yourself from ingredients you can buy in normal supermarkets:
- 2 dl ketchup
- 2 tablespoons soy
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 2 teaspoons sugar/liquid honey
Course of action
- Whisk flour and water. Add water until you have a thick frosting consistency.
- Add a little salt and mirin. Set the bowl aside.
- Now cut the scallions and leeks. Some finely chopped and others slightly coarser. I prefer the latter, so that you retain some texture and crispness in the cabbage. Try yourself out.
- Place cabbage, leeks, rinsed bean sprouts, bacon/pork, egg in shell, soba noodles, ground katsuobushi in separate bowls so they are ready to go.
- Now pour batter onto a non-slip pan so that the pancake is the size of a large pita bread in circumference. Sprinkle on the ground katsubushi.
- Take a small handful of cabbage, a little less leek and the same amount of bean sprouts and place it on the pancake in layers.
- Now cover the entire pancake with 2-3 slices of bacon without overlapping. Pour a small amount of dough on top before flipping the entire mole white. The dough acts as glue for all the ingredients.
- Next, fry 1/4 of the noodles in a little oil. Turn them in a little okonomiyaki sauce on the pan.
- When the bacon is cooked, you move the cabbage part on top of the noodles so that the pancake itself is still facing upwards.
- Now break out an egg next to it and spread it with your spatula so that it has approx. same circumference as your cabbage pancake.
- While the egg is still half-cooked, move the cabbage pancake on top of the eggs, noodle side down.
- When the egg is cooked, turn the entire mole white over.
- Cover the pancake with toppings. Okonomiyaki sauce, mayo, Aonori and spring onions.

I'll be the first to admit it: I love a big, dramatic hair transformation. I totally get that a celebrity haircut and/or color change can feel gimmicky, especially since it's designed to get people talking about the project they're promoting (spoiler alert: it usually works). But celebrity hairstylists do dramatic hair changes exceptionally well these days. Thanks to extensions, wigs, and other hair magic, celebrities can debut a short hairstyle one day and long tresses the next. But when they cut their actual hair and really lean in on a new look, it feels even more daring.
Of course, big hair changes are not necessarily a new phenomenon—actors in movies and TV shows have utilized the "big dramatic haircut" to signify an important change in the character's development. Sometimes it works (the "Rachel" on Jennifer Aniston's Friends character) and sometimes it absolutely, wholly does not (the "Felicity" on Keri Russell). But, even when it doesn't work, it's always interesting.
Below, the 32 most dramatic celebrity hair transformations.
An upcoming film role was part of the reason Cara Delevingne shaved her head (she was to play a cancer patient in Life in a Year), but she also told WWD, "Just doing it really was liberating...The kind of power and not needing hair to be beautiful, and that was the message I really thought I needed to spread."
Kaley Cuoco (whose long hair on The Big Bang Theory was pretty well-established at that point) teased us with a shorter haircut for a while before she finally went all in in 2014. She cut it in April to a bob and then in June cut it even shorter. "Thank you @clsymonds for bringing out my inner Peter Pan :)" she wrote on Instagram at the time.
Appropriately described as "fiery," Megan Fox went from a soft auburn to a cherry, fire-engine red color (with a bob haircut to match, obviously). She was promoting her new book of poetry Pretty Boys Are Poisonous and, in an incredible move, her hair matches the book cover.
Hailey Bieber kicked off 2023 with a fun long bob (giving us major "new year new hair" energy). With the caption "Oops," her fans immediately went wild for the look—we wouldn't be surprised if the picture on the right was screenshotted then taken to hairstylists all over the place.
Julia Fox can (and does) rock a lot of different hairstyles as a model. But when she went all out and debuted this look for New York Fashion Week (the matching eyebrows!!), it was intense even for her. She called it her favorite look of the week, adding, "As for hair and make up...I did it myself yeah."
Debuting a new "French bob" haircut in 2023, Zoe Saldaña gave everyone massive hair envy—particularly since it was a fun, short, summer cut, and everyone loves chopping their hair off in the hot weather. It's a precise but still soft cut, and a serious change from her normal longer style.
If you're unfamiliar, Emilia Clarke had some serious wigs to play Daenerys Targaryen on Game of Thrones. But for the show's last season, she decided to really go for it and match her actual hair to her character's hair, showing all of us why it's such a good color on her.
We could choose a lot of different hair transformations for Ariana Grande—this one is by far not the most intense. But when the actor, who had played Cat Valentine on the show Victorious and Sam & Cat, her hair was fried from dying it red so often. So getting it to a more neutral, natural color was a necessary change, but also an important step away from the character for Grande.
While Dua Lipa is no stranger to hair experimentation, when she showed up to the 2022 Grammy Awards with her long dark hair dyed platinum, it was a (welcome) shock. Lipa and her stylists wisely decided to keep her roots and eyebrows dark, so that her natural color still shown through (and felt grounded to the rest of her outfit).
The number of hairdos we've had from Lady Gaga could fill a book (note to Lady Gaga: Please make a coffee table book with just pictures of your hair. I would buy it.), but on the awards circuit for A Star Is Born she was keeping her hair her signature blonde—until this light blue concoction at the 2019 Golden Globes.
This honey blonde hair on Keke Palmer should be required viewing for ever hairstylist: It's the perfect shade, incredibly dimensional without feeling too jarring. It was a big change for the star, and it's the perfect refresh for anyone who's been through a breakup and is feeling fantastic.
Zendaya has given us hip-length extensions, a red curly bob, and a hilarious and amazing bowl hair cut wig. She's just that excellent at pulling off different hair colors and styles! But I appreciated this softer style that still required a cut of several inches and a modernized curly bob styling that I adore.
It's hard to explain exactly how much Taylor Swift (who, up until this point, had made her long, blonde, often curly hair an important part of her look) made fans excited with this shorter hairstyle. It began the first of many different cuts and colors, but this initial experimentation was a terrific fit for the evolving star.
As style writers noted at the time, J. Lo cut all her hair off for her appearance at Paris Fashion Week—and the bob absolutely suits her. Now, literally days later, she was back to donning a longer hairdo, but I'm putting in a petition now for her to keep it this length.
Zoë Kravitz has given us many a short hair and shaved head moment (she's an incredibly style chameleon, and she's giving us even more looks on her social media) but this blonde bob to black pixie evolution was a glorious change. The softer makeup helped complete the transformation.
Kate Hudson called this pixie cut "liberating," which makes sense: Her long hair is pretty legendary (and it looks a lot like her mom Goldie Hawn's hair), so this was a huge change. She cut it for a role, in Sia's Sister, and her hair has since gone back to its traditionally long length.
Katy Perry later told Ellen in an interview that this pixie wasn't exactly by choice: She'd dyed her hair platinum, and it was (horrifyingly) starting to fall out. But she said she liked the face-framing cut, and I can't disagree with her: The blonde is a nice, fun touch.
Thanks to wigs and extensions, Rihanna gives us a different look every time we see her. But what felt so big about this blonde hair and shaved sides was that it felt like (at least part of the haircut) was her actual hair. She went from this long pixie to a number of increasingly shorter styles, and then ended up with this extremely enviable 'do.
No one was a more iconic blonde than Britney Spears, so when she blessed us with a honey bronde color in the '00s, we all collectively lost our minds. Spears was debuting her "Curious" fragrance, which frankly, now that I think about it, absolutely tracks with the new hair color.
Emma Stone has gone blonde more than once in her career, but this 2010 'do was a jaw-dropping moment for fans, as she had mostly given us her signature red as well as deeper auburn colors. Stone would go on to effortlessly rock that blonde color as Gwen Stacy in Spider-Man.
Sarah Jessica Parker
This 2001 cut into a curly bob was intense for its time, as Sarah Jessica Parker (star of the hugely popular Sex and the City) debuted the show with longer curly locks. She'd had her hair shorter before and would cut it short again, but the cut was important for the character's growth.
Miley Cyrus has given us many a wild haircut, but this was the start of a (very successful) run of short haircuts for the singer. She'd previously had layered hair that she sometimes wore very voluminously, so these shaved sides and bouffant made for an important signifier in her evolution.
Florence Pugh knew exactly when to debut her new shaved head: the Met Gala (she later explained it was for an upcoming role in We Live in Time). This pink version showed up shortly afterwards at (where else?) Paris Fashion Week, and was an even more elevated version of the original cut.
Frankly, if anyone's going to pull off a shaved head that's been dyed blonde, it's Kristen Stewart. But back in 2017, she was just getting started with her cool and edgy vibes, and people were shocked and delighted to see her new cut at the premiere of Personal Shopper.
Queen Bey has given us many a cool hair cut and color, including going full silver. She is incredible with wigs and extensions, and it's always a fun surprise to see her latest red carpet look. But this straighter, blonder 'do felt like such an everyday change from her darker curls that it changed the whole vibe of her look.
At the Tony Awards, Lupita Nyong'o shared a bold shaved head look that had a gorgeous "henna headpiece." Her hair had been on the shorter side before, but this striking shave and graphic design had everyone in the beauty world talking—and inspired her makeup artist to do a matching bold look.
After the Harry Potter films, the erstwhile Hermione decided to go for a big change with a full pixie cut. I actually really like it, but it was controversial since Watson's hair had previously been so much longer. In 2014, she explained, "To be honest, I felt more myself with that haircut. I felt bold, and it felt empowering because it was my choice. It felt sexy too. Maybe it was the bare neck, but for some reason I felt super, super sexy."
Jennifer Lawrence is on record as not liking this pixie cut. "Obviously my advice is don't do it. Think everything through," she said, adding that every photo of her with the cut needs photoshopped extensions. Apparently it was growing out weird and felt too long, which is why she chopped it all off.
Katie Holmes, new mom to Suri Cruise at the time, got on the bob bandwagon (lots of stars were doing it, including Victoria Beckham), and fans were shocked—Holmes usually favored long locks, and most people knew her from her wavy Dawson's Creek days. But this version was cute—it started life a bit blunter and then softened.
In the film V for Vendetta, Natalie Portman literally has her head shaved—while weeping uncontrollably—in what was (obviously) a single take. Apparently she liked the feeling of the fuzz, director James McTeigue later said. Portman later did say she wouldn't do it more than once, though.
Jennifer Aniston apparently hated the "Rachel" haircut, particularly how much work it took to maintain. She literally told Allure in 2011, "I think it was the ugliest haircut I've ever seen." And yet, it's hard to overstate: Every person who watched Friends fell in love with the character's shorter locks and wanted it for themselves.
The opposite of the Rachel: The Felicity! In season 2, Keri Russell's character cut off all her hair, and fans revolted (the haircut is literally blamed for the show's ratings tanking). Russell would later say (in a message to her younger self): "Your life is going to be so exciting, but whatever you do, don't cut your hair short during the second season of Felicity...No, I'm serious. People will freak the hell out. You'll get hate mail. You'll even get death threats. But, gradually, your hair will grow back and your fans will forgive you, but you will never—and I repeat never—forgive your fans." | <urn:uuid:566793ad-2e23-43e3-a407-34be364d9020> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://sg.style.yahoo.com/32-most-dramatic-celebrity-hair-174222798.html | 2024-02-28T06:19:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.977629 | 2,548 |
Welcome to The Vanguards, Marie Claire's new fashion franchise spotlighting the emerging names to know. These thought-leading designers are forging a new path.
Jack Miner of Interior enjoys the messy bits of life—or “screw-ups,” as he calls them (technically, he uses the supercharged, explicit version). The New York-based designer isn't interested in making clothes for people who pursue perfection. "It's not about putting on a front or a veneer; It's about authenticity and honesty, being vulnerable and exposed, more than anything else," he shares over a video call. Consider the brand’s Riley Coat, a deconstructed double-breasted style with frayed seams and open slashes on the shoulders and spine. It’s outerwear for someone who bares their mistakes with pride. "That's what's great about humanity: the flaw. We want to celebrate it," says Miner.
As of late, the designer's own life has been both a bit messy and unexpected, too. The designer is only “just coming out of the woods” from COVID when speaking with Maire Claire. On the upbeat, it was also when he found out that Interior was nominated for Fashion Trust U.S., a nonprofit organization supporting emerging US-based design talent.
Interior has carved out a corner in womenswear that’s sophisticated and sensual but dark, perhaps even perverse. “The easiest way to distill what we do is that we take styles canon to American sportswear and subvert them. How do we eff this up? How do we make it interesting and create tension? The result is clothes that feel familiar but also interesting and fresh,” explains Miner, who worked at the cult menswear label Bode before starting Interior.
But it's been a whirlwind. As of earlier this week, Miner and Lily Miesmer, his co-founder and best friend since middle school, have officially parted ways. “We've charted so much together. She’s been so integral to Interior since its inception in 2020. But Lily had some personal life changes and interests to pursue, part of which was relocating to Paris.” Together, the duo decided that Miesmer would exit her active role in the business but remain a silent partner.
Despite sprouting from the same trunk, branches are known to grow in their different directions. Still, it’s a lot. Here, he addresses the universe directly: “Just bring it on—we can handle it. What's another little thing, you know?” Not all designers whose lives were recently shaken like a snow globe would be as even-keeled a week out from showing their newest collection. But again, Miner flourishes in the chaos.
Interior’s Fall/Winter 2024 collection, debuting this season on February 13, is quintessential of the brand’s M.O: The edit features plenty of power suits—which the designer dubs “big energy tailoring”—done in dashed and broken pinstripes; Cotton poplin distorted into something far beyond the button-downs hanging in your closet; A chiffon gown that unravels at the hem and a sharply-tailored overcoat with a mangy shearling collar.
His work might be wild, but Miner, who honed his business savvy working under venture capitalist Chris Burch (yes, as in Tory) and previously ran his own successful menswear line, Hecho, knows what he’s doing. “The end goal of the brand from a product perspective is to create a novel wardrobe for our woman across every touch point of her closet. It’s full wardrobing. Whether it's denim, knitwear, tailoring, or eveningwear, she can come to Interior and find us as the resource for her needs.”
We want to give her the alternative option of wearing something that feels distinct, different, and more authentic to the reality of the human experience.
As a screenwriter would flesh out every detail of their characters, Miner intimately knows the Interior woman. “She revels in what makes her different. She's messy and human and likes that about herself. She’s not this shellacked social media image.” Her manicure is chipped, and you won’t see her carrying a $10,000 bag or wearing a gold status symbol bracelet. Miner believes she’s also annoyed with the current state of society—because he is, too. “Today, we see this drive toward assimilation and pervasive sameness. It’s an aesthetic flattening due to a social media-dominated world, where there's a monolithic understanding in the culture of what looks good. This is what the North Star is, and it's very one note.”
Interior serves as the antidote to all of that. “We want to give her the alternative option of wearing something that feels distinct, different, and more authentic to the reality of the human experience: what it means to be a person and have to get dressed and put clothes on every day.” What it means to put yourself together even on the days when you’re sick. Or processing that your best friend is moving halfway across the world. Or when your brand is growing, growing, growing, and about to start a whole new chapter at the same time.
It can be overwhelming, maybe even sad and scary, to get dressed on those days. But if you lean into the chaos, Interior has an outfit for you. | <urn:uuid:d49ae374-7320-4be1-9bda-1136938e68e0> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://sg.style.yahoo.com/meet-fashion-designer-making-mistakes-143005629.html | 2024-02-28T05:31:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.969256 | 1,167 |

Happy Birthday, El! Posted on March 25, 2013March 25, 2013Author staciaPosted in Uncategorized4 Replies El Brendel Born March 25, 1890 Pictured here with Janet Gaynor in Sunnyside Up (1929)
I have a couple of El film questions: 1, do you know if Janet Gaynor musical Delicious is worth a watch? and 2, ever seen Olsen’s Big Moment? According to IMDb, it stars El, and his character’s name is even part of the title. Whatever it is, I hope it’s good! There are so few feature length films that actually star El Brendel, so I hope this is one of ’em.
I kind of liked Delicious, personally. It’s goofy in the same way Sunnyside Up is, but if you go into it knowing it’s going to be a silly early talkie, you’ll be good. El’s featured song Blah Blah Blah was really popular when the film was released, too. Olsen’s Big Moment is a movie I have around here but haven’t seen it yet.
Uh oh, I must not have a copy of it then. I have a small stack of El Brendel discs, a couple from a friend of mine, and I thought I had the one that had Joe Sawyer had a small role in — that would be Olsen’s, but if it’s that rare then I’m sure I don’t have a copy. I don’t know where my spindle is so until I find it, I won’t know what I had Olsen’s confused with. D’oh. | <urn:uuid:6efe2612-f473-48aa-8ae9-832a613dd3f6> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://shebloggedbynight.com/2013/happy-birthday-el/ | 2024-02-28T06:59:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.95696 | 365 |

Social trading is a form of investing in which traders are able to observe the actions of professional traders and follow or copy their trading strategies. It’s a great option for beginners as it requires very little knowledge of the financial markets and only a basic understanding of current events. That said, there are a number of tips you can follow that will help you take your social trading to a whole new level. We have described them in this article.
1. Start Out with a Demo Account
Before investing any real money, it’s a good idea to start out with a demo account for the social trading broker of your choice. This will enable you to get to grips with the platform and how everything works without risking your money in the process. One way to go about this is to visit the InvestinGoal website. Here, you’ll be provided with a list of best brokers for ZuluTrade, one of the top social investing companies. You can then try ZuluTrade with a demo and determine which broker is the best option for you.
2. Use the Auto Copy Feature
As social trading basically enables you to follow and copy the trades of those with experience, it’s no surprise that lots of platforms have an ‘auto copy’ feature. This enables you to literally copy the trades of those you are following, and requires little time and effort, save for the click of a button. It’s important to note that the ‘auto copy’ feature isn’t a magic solution to making money, as even the most successful traders make mistakes from time to time. However, it’s a useful and handy tool that can save you a lot of time.
3. Diversify the Traders You Follow
While it can be tempting to just follow one trader, this is never usually a good idea. As we mentioned above, traders do make mistakes and placing all of your eggs in one basket doesn’t often turn out well. Instead, choose a few traders to copy and diversify your risk; 5-10 is a good amount to get started. You may also find that, by doing this, you start to see why each trader makes the moves they do. And, you may prefer certain strategies over others once you get more used to trading yourself.
4. Perform Your Own Research
While copying the trades of others is ideal for beginners, as you get more used to trading, it’s a good idea to start performing your own research. Follow financial news accounts on sites like Twitter and LinkedIn and sign up for some RSS feeds of the top forex blogs. The more you know about what is happening with the financial markets, the more you’ll be able to tell whether a trade is risky or worthwhile. Plus, while social trading is a good idea at the start, you may want to branch out on your own after a while.

25+ Sewing Room Ideas for Quilters
Welcome to our roundup post where we are sharing inspiring sewing room ideas for quilters.
If you are a quilter that wants to redesign your current sewing space or if you’re new to quilting and need design ideas for your room, you’re in luck.
We’ve rounded up a list of 25+ sewing room design ideas quilters can use for inspiration for your room and and hope that they will inspire your next quilting project.
Before we dive off into the list of quilting rooms, let's first take a look at some of the essentials you will need to add to your room.
Materials And Resources Needed For A Quilting Room
1. A quilting machine
To complete your quilting projects, you will need to use a good sewing machine for quilting. These types of sewing machines are specialty machines designed to handle quilting projects.
2. A sturdy quilting table or furniture
Image source: Canva (katarzynabialasiewicz)
Choose a quilting and sewing table that's sturdy and will last you a long time. It’s a good idea to choose a table that has storage for your fabric and other accessories you will need access to as you work on projects.
3. Go For A Larger Table
Image source: Pexels (cottonbro)
Generally speaking, you really won’t be able to do much at a small table. Just keeping all of your stuff on top of it will be a hassle.
Consider using a larger workstation that will give you enough room to add your fabric, sewing machine and materials for your quilting projects to it.
3. Choose A Comfortable Chair
Image source: Upsplash (pacificofficeinterior)
When working on a project, you will probably spend most of your time sitting in front of the machine.
If your chair is not comfortable enough to support you for long periods of time, it can cause back pain. Using a great ergonomic sewing chair is your best bet.
Plus, working in a comfy chair will make you more productive and complete projects with ease.
4. Maximize Wall Space
Image source: (Cutesy Crafts)
One thing that wastes space in a working room is the bare walls.
Instead of looking at boring and bland walls, consider putting up floating shelves to hang extra clothes and fabric.
This will not only maximize your space but will also save you from any possible tripping on items lying on your way.
5. Great Lighting
Image source: Canva (jupiterimages)
Great lighting is important when it comes to working on quilting projects. A dark room will make it hard for you to see the projects that you are working on.
A well-lit quilting space is essential. Using LED lamps and other bright lights will add warmth to your space and reduce eye strain while you are working on quilting projects.
While lamps are great, nothing compares to natural lighting if you can add it to your room. Natural lighting is mood boosting and will make your sewing projects more fulfilling.
6. Add Mood Boards

Mood boards are a great wall decoration that adds personality to every room. Aside from that, you can always look up to one to seek inspiration for your next quilt.
8. Sewing Kit Organizers
Small items like bobby pins, needles, thimble, and other items that you often need should always be kept around your working table.
To keep them organized and easy to access, you can always put them in a sewing kit and store them on top of your table so that you can grab them when you need them.
9. Color Scheme
Image source: Canva (leonidyastremskiy)
If you’re the type of person that gets easily distracted by colors and other things, then opting out for a minimal and neutral color scheme will help you focus better.
However, if you want more upbeat and cheerful quilting room, consider using more colorful paint and decor in your room (as displayed by the image above).
Image source: Pexels (dominikaroseclay)
To dress up your quilting space and add some charm to your room, simple greenery and other plants will go a long way.
They are great when it comes to filling empty spaces too. You can choose bigger plants to put on corners and in front of bare walls, or smaller ones to keep your tabletops filled.
12. Thread Rack
Keeping a thread rack near you with various colors that you’d probably need on your projects will save you a lot of time and effort.
Going back and forth towards the cabinet where you store your threads can be inconvenient and draining on your time. Having a thread rack close to you helps move projects along faster and keeps you organized.
13. Quilting Stand or Ladder
More Tips & Inspiring Sewing Room Ideas for Quilters
Now that we've covered the essential items that you need to add to your quilting room, check out these inspiring sewing room designs for quilters.
1. Scandinavian Design
Image Source: Canva (KatarzynaBialasiewicz)
Wood gives a timeless essence when added to a room, and that is the main focus of the Scandinavian design. The rustic colors help in bringing warmth and the nature-inspired vibes indoors.
2. Industrial Design
Image source: Canva (gorodenkoff)
If you are living in the city, or just really into the industrial interior, then this style is for you. The exposed brick brings a lot of personality to the space. The natural lighting is also a perfect addition to the room and adds a lot of warmth to it.
3. Center Layout with Wall to Wall Storage

We absolutely love the way that they have styled this room. Theres plenty of storage for fabrics and quilting accesories. In addition to this, they've added a nice quilt rack to display their quilting projects.
4. A Hint of Blue

This beautiful soft blue quilting room has a T-Shaped desk and layout with tons of accessories on top of it. We love the fact that there is plenty of sewing space on top of the desk for large quilting projects.
5. Soothing Green Quilting Space
Don't you just love this space? We love this L-shaped sewing space that has plenty of storage and desk space for quilting projects.
As you can see from the photo, with this type of layout, there is enough space for two sewing machines (a quilting machine and even a serger) for your projects. The ample wall shelves also make a great addition to this space.
6. Warm Wood Tone Combinations
Image source: (Create Your Perfect Quilting Space eBook)
This quilting space uses a collection of warm wood toned furniture that have plenty of space.
Notice that there is a desk in the back of the room with tons of storage and at least 3-4 pieces of different furniture put together on the other side to create a U-shaped quilting space. This is a very clever use of furniture.
7. Mini Quilt Display
Image source: (A Quilting Life)
We discovered this beautiful teal and blue quilting space from AQuiltinglife.com. This room is small but mighty and has a ton of storage and sewing space that any quilter would love!
8. Bay Window Space
Image source: (nwbob)
What’s great about bay windows is they add so much beauty and space to the room with little to no effort at all. The curvy walls they often come with are a great area to fit your sewing table into.
9. Corner Space
Image source: Canva (antoninapotapenko)
If you prefer to work on smaller spaces, you can still make the best out of it. With the help of multiple wall cabinets to store your materials, wall racks to hang your equipment and finished projects, a table to place your sewing machine, you are good to go.
10. Quilting Space with a Large PegBoard
Image source: (www.livemaster.ru -5)
This beautiful quilting space with the large pegboard is a great example of a space with smaller spaces.
As you can see, with a space like this you can add plenty of storage racks and etc to your pegboard to store your quilting accessories.

12. Small Quilting Room with Large Shelving Unit
This is an example of a small but quaint quiltign space with lots of storage for accessories and a large quilting table.
From what we can gather, the quilting table looks to be home made with a large piece of wood and a storage basket in the center of it. Its the perfect place for storing things like fat quarters for quilts, fabric pieces and more.
13. L-Shaped Room with Lots of Furniture Pieces
14. Quilting Space with a Large PegBoard

PIC ZKITTLEZ 50g
Out of stock
Our absolute masterpiece.
As tasty as it is fleeting – because overall we were only able to produce a small amount due to the current situation.
The taste of wild peach is so rare and rare that we got this flavor exclusively for hookain. We combine the sweet and juicy taste of peach with a hint of apricot juice. The taste of apricot is hardly noticeable on its own, but supports the basic character of the variety enormously.
In order to give the variety more depth in terms of the Pfrisich taste, we use another peach flavor to cover all the oleiferous nuances of this delicious summer fruit.
Why Pic ZkiTTLEZ? Why not just Pic?
So that the variety is more than just wonderfully fruity and pleasantly fresh, we work with an effervescent aroma that, in conjunction with the different peach notes, develops a very special taste of its own.
In terms of smell and taste, the variety goes in the direction of “peach-crumb-iced tea-his-father”.

Macarons are not so sweet. Guests crave for more. Tower is easy to assemble. Look pretty when display.
Very good experience
The taste is great and not as sweet as other brands out there. I enjoyed every flavor of it. The tier is easy to assemble
Good macaroons terrible service
The macaroons tasted very nice and were very popular but the process of ordering was painful. Terrible service, the lady didn’t know anything and finally after many calls when the order was placed we sent a what’sapp confirmation but two days before the delivery right in the middle of our wedding functions the lady called again to find out the details of the order.
It was a Tier of beauty and melting moments
The Color and flavour was customised as I had requested for and service was simply great.

Works great and the installation was easy. Very little motion in the cover driving.
Good product and was easy to install. Also ordered a tailgate seal kit. The seal kit is not of much value on a ranger due to the rounded tailgate and square box corners.
Installed pretty easily. I was also able to install a headache rack in it. Have had a bit of rain and it is bone dry.
Cover is great! It's all real good material I even like the texture the only thing is I wish it had some kind of strap or something to fix the vinyl to the cross support bars that run the width of the bed to keep it from flopping around in the wind. I had to tighten the tensioner up to the end to keep it somewhat from flopping around.
Very easy to install by myself in a half hour. Very clean look this is my second one.
Best fitting cover, super low profile,
Nice cover, but the installation instructions where a bit unclear. Had to guess on a few things to get the cover installed properly.
I have bought several covers from these people and have always been extremely satisfied with the product. I recently had my first and only very minor issue with the Velcro on my cover. I contacted the company and CURT ROSTENBACH responded to me that the new parts were on their way to me. Can't say enough how great the customer service was for this. I will continue buying this awesome product knowing they back their product 100%. Thanks again Curt! Awesome job
Was a Christmas gift for our son.He absolutely loves it! It looks great and fits on his tacoma beautifully !Would recommend to anyone!
This is my third cover from ACI with the Vanish cover. Last set I had was on my 2008 Ram and I replaced it after 12 years with a new cover to help! Lasted a lot longer than expected. Bought a new truck this year and had to get the same cover. It was easy to put on and looks great!
Very skeek and low profile. Adjustment is easy.
Love it,Easy to install and it looks awesome.
Easy install, quality seems on par for the price. Time will tell on that. Only drawback was the clamps seemed to be used, maybe a open box return. a couple of the clamps don't match up on ribs of the rails and constantly need retightening??
Second cover bought. First lasted 12 years and still going strong but sold with the truck. Cover itself aged a bit and the velcro straps stopped working after about 6 years. Still significantly dry without velcro adhesion. Bought second Vanish recently and fits great, low profile.
Good cover so far looks good
The install was easy and the tonneau cover looks great. It has performed flawlessly.
Well made, well thought out product. I would recommend the vanish cover if you like the sleek low profile look.
This is my third Agri-cover for 3 different trucks, Quality of the product made it easy to return to your company.
The cover was easy to install and it looks great. This is the second cover I've purchased, the first one lasted 10 years.
This is my second vanish cover. Love it
I had a very good experience with ACI and I love my roll up cover!!!
The cover looks excellent and i like the low profile the Vanish offers.
Great product easy to fit and install.
Great produce and easy install. This is the second Vanish cover I have had on my trucks.
great looking, easy to mount. lots of great compliments.
Great looking, easy to install. Love this cover. Highly recommended.
Agri Cover,I want to say thank you for providing such a pleasant experience. I made a simple mistake in ordering the wrong cover and the process I went through to get the right cover was painless and very easy. I first talked to Sherri. She was kind, a fantastic help, and she routed me to Travis who was also friendly and easy to work with. Very understanding and they made it a speedy process to get the right cover out ASAP. Not to mention how fast the replacement arrived to my door!. I am very very grateful for such customer service and I will recommend this company to friends, as well as being a returning customer. Thank you again and enjoy the weekend! John Kane
After what felt like weeks of research, I finally decided on an Access Vanish bed cover. Online ordering went smoothly, the transaction was promptly processed, and the shipping time was as expected. Since everything went very well, I didn't have any excuse to call and personally talk with the staff, but I expect their customer service skills will be top notch. I fully recommend Agri-cover Inc for all your truck cover needs.
This is my 4th Agri-Cover. As always the quality is second to none.
Just put the Access Vanish tonneau cover on my 2011 Tundra double cab truck and it looks awesome. Easy install, no drilling and no problems. Debated between the fiberglass ones and this roll up one, (I have used both in the past), decided this was easier to use and to roll up rather than remove a heavy fiberglass one when I needed the use of the entire bed.
Overall I really like the cover. The look of the low profile is really nice. I had the Limited before and I really liked it too but did not care for the look of the higher capacity. My only complaint of the Vanish is that it does not have as nice of a latch as the Limited and the loop tie downs are not as nice as the quick release tie downs on the Limited. Other than that, great product!
Just installed my Vanish tonneau yesterday on my 2019 Ram. Took about 20 minutes to get it all installed. Looks great, love the low profile look.
I ordered this product from TDOT a few weeks ago. I was a bit disappointed when I found out that it would not ship immediately, but I didn't get too upset because they were $150 dollars cheaper than my local distributor. Once I had the product it was an easy installation and it looks fantastic on my truck. I can't speak for durability yet but I have no reason to believe it won't last a long time.
Very pleased with the product.
Super happy with this tonneau cover. Love the low profile on my 2019 Ram 1500 Midnight Edition. Looks tight and solid in appearance and matches the styling of the truck well. All parts of high quality, easy to assemble, and very easy to open and secure when needed for large loads. I highly recommend ACCESS as many friends and relatives have other cover brands and the quality is not as good as the ACCESS covers. I'm hoping the cover performs just as well when Winter arrives in the great white North!
EASY TO INSTALL, EVERYTHING FIT AS NEEDED, VERY HAPPY WITH PRODUCT
Very nice looking cover. Easy install. The directions are great.
I am well pleased with the Vanish Cover went on easy and looks GREAT compared to the fiberglass cover I did have.
Straight forward installation. Nice product. Made of quality fabric. Bed rails and clamps are also made of quality materials. I had to purchase the extend-a-bed conversion kit which was also a straight forward installation. Documentation for both products was very good. I believe a novice or a general homeowner with basic hand tools could install this as well as a professional installation shop. The only item not provided was a Torx drive to use with the extend-a-bed conversion.
This cover was perfect for my older Chevy! Happy with the quality and finish. Highly recommended!
I am very satisfied with this product. Cover installed quickly and has performed great.
Very nice and easy to install!
Easy to install and with the additional smart pack the bed stays dry. The look of the cover on the truck maintains the sleek and sporty look.
I am very pleased with the cover. It mounted the way it is suppose to and fits excellently. I would recommend this cover to any one who needs one.
2014. I had this type of cover on all the trucks I had . It's a great cover.
Great cover! I like the lower profile and fit. I had it installed in 25 minutes, no problems. It arrived on my doorstep the next day!
Easy to install and does exactly what it is designed to do.
I love the cover fits perfect. Thank- you guys.
So far looks and works great! I've only used it for about a week or so and I haven't had any issues with it yet! Very happy with my purchase.
I Love my New Tonneau Cover. It installed in less than 10 minutes and with much ease. Looks Great and is EZ to use. Just what I needed.Great to buy a product that works as advertised!
I am favorably impressed with the Access Vanish low-profile cover. Installation was relatively simple. I am anxious to see if my mileage improves.
Easy installation! Sleek! Incognito! Saving on gas trash and a$$! AWESOME!
Easy installation and use. I like the locking tabs at the rear of the cover because my previous cover did not have these and over time the latch loosened and would unlatch while traveling.
Installed this past fall (2018) on my '18 Colorado long box. Absolutely love it. It looks beautiful with the low profile and it has survived the ND record cold winter weather perfectly. Instructions could use more details, but install only took 1.5 hours longer than it should have!
I love it! It's not my first roll up cover from agricover so I knew what I was getting. Easy to install and it looks great!
Got bed cover, came very fast and was easy to install. Love the look
Very easy to install. I like the low profile of the vanish cover. Quality is excellent
I like the way it is low profile, I don't care for the ones that stick up. The vanish are the only ones I will have, this one makes number 3 that I have bought.
There aren't many things that I've bought that I brag about, but this is one of them. I think my friends are sick of hearing how much I love this bed cover. I've had my Access Vanish cover now for 3 years and it still works great. I remember a few weeks after I got it, I was moving some camping equipment in the pouring rain. I was fully expecting it to get somewhat wet either through the sides of the cover of water seeping through the fabric. I left it in my truck bed overnight and woke up the next morning to find everything bone dry.I installed it in about 30 minutes by myself with simple tools. I like the roll up cover, because it is not as bulky as the hard covers so it doesn't limit what I can carry. It also provides rain protection, a sense of security from theft and just covering gear while driving down the highway, and I seem to get better gas mileage when it's on. The Vanish cover also sits almost flush with the top of the bed, so it looks really clean with the truck. I HIGHLY recommend these covers.
Very easy install. Look is fantastic. Highly recommend product.
Installation was pretty easy and so far as performed well.
The Vanish cover on my 2006 Colorado is an excellent product. After 8 years there are no leaks and the cover is still water tight and makes no flapping noises going down the road. I recently purchased a bottle of the Cover Care Cleaner and after using other products for years the cleaner took my cover back to new condition. Very happy with ACI and their products.
Roll up cover works as it should. Way to install. I had the same cover on two previously owned pickups and was really pleased with their durability so I got another one. Good cover for the price!!
Replaced 12-year old Vanish Roll-Up Cover. I am hoping new one lasts as long as old one.
Happy with product.
I installed two Vanish covers on my 2008 and 2010 GMC trucks immediately after purchasing. These tonneau covers have performed great for 8+ years and still look great after washing and applying your favorite vinyl dressing. Due to my work, my cover has been exposed to the sun and very harsh environments, but has held up very well. However, the stitching has finally worn out and allowed the Velcro to come free. I would like to say thank you to Kurt in the ND plant for being so helpful in getting a replacement fabric for my Vanish cover. It was a very pleasant experience. I can't say enough good things about their product and their people. I plan to have an upholstery shop re-stitch my old cover and keep it for a spare. Thank you,SC Sonnier
This was the second cover from ACI. Greatest thing since sliced bread. Easy to install. Works extremely well. Does not leak in heavy rain storms and I increased fuel mileage.
Me and my wife decided to get a bed cover for travel purposes. I went with the vanish cover because of its low profile. It sits even with the bed rails making it almost invisible. The cover seals well and locks. It does not bow in the middle like most covers you see on the road. I highly recommend this product for any one looking for a soft cover. It is easy to use and install. Great Product....
First accessory I installed on my new truck when I got it. Have had it for a year. A must have, keeps everything dry and protected. Rolls open out of the way if you have something large to haul. Will have one on every truck I own from now one. I also purchased the bed mat and tailgate protector and they are fantastic.
I was very pleased on arrival of my Tonneau cover. It fit my small box perfectly and installed quickly, and stayed that way. PS. I have since sold that truck and will purchase the same cover from you again for my new Nissan.
I have purchased three of these covers and have had very good luck and lots of compliments with these. I would recommend your products to anyone.
Fast shipping. Installed easily. Rails are only 1/2 inch above bed, so fits well under the 5th wheel. Looks good!
I have owned the Vanish cover for about 3 years. I have been really pleased with its quality durability. Last weekend the latch got broken while getting building supplies loaded. I thought it was going to be a lot of trouble to get a replacement. I called the number on your web site Monday and was directed to Randy (I didn't get a last name) in parts. To my amazement, Randy found my part and got in the mail to me right away. I received it today (Thursday). Thanks for your quick response and great customer service.
The product was sent promptly and efficient. Fit perfect on the truck. Ordering was easy and customer service given was definitely A+++++
I have ordered my bed cover as well as replacement velcro strips for the rails. Both products where exactly what I wanted, fast and easy shipping. I will be ordering from them again.
This low profile tonneau cover looks great on my 2013 Ram 1500 Sport Crew Cab. I have bed rails on the sides of my bed and this truck cover fits in between. Looks great too. Could not be happier.
Fast service easy install
This is the second cover I have purchased in the last ten years. Easy to install and very durable. Quality of product is excellent. Highly recommend.
Great product, well crafted. I am very happy with the cover looks really good on my pick-up.
Best damn cover ever!
Great product, easy to install. Looks great on my new Toyota Tacoma!
I have a suggestion for your instructions. If you completely tighten the bolts (step 3. E) and then have to adjust tension, the front plate is so tight against the bed that it is VERY difficult to adjust. I recommend you suggest only firming them up and then after adjusting tension (if required) go back and do final tightening. About wore out my thumbs before I realized the issue. Looks great. Seems to be a good product. Thanks, Dave Kummer
Looks great, easy to install.
I like me the Vanish cover. Easy to install and fit my '19 Raptor well.
To be honest, I am kinda disappointed in the cover. First, I expected it to be more flush with the line of my bed. It sits a inch above The edge and is more than visible. Don't understand why it would be called flush mount or vanishing is it looks just like my neighbor's which is regular. Second, it will not get tight enough to not be flapping to some level. There are dips in between the cross rails that are very visible. Sorry to bash but I wanted to be honest. Not at all what i expected by advertising or picture on wed site.
Outstanding. Just put it on. Install was a breeze as long as you have an assistant hold the side rails - like for 5 minutes or so to keep them level until you get a clamp or two on. Looks great, can wait to see how it does in Minnesota weather! Thanks!
Great product and easy to install. Have had many access covers and they've all been great.
Great cover and easy installation.
Awesome bed cover
Very happy with my new Vanish cover. It was super easy to install and looks very good on my new 3500. Appreciate the quick delivery by ACI.
Install was easy and I love the cover! Sleek profile.
Easy to install and works great!
I purchased the Vanish Roll-Up cover for my 2003 Tundra and love it. I love the low profile look of the cover, and installation was simple and easy. More importantly, I was absolutely blown away by the costomer service I recieved from Agri-Cover. I had an issue during my installation and they went above and beyond with helping me resolve my issue. I can't recommend them enough.
Love it! Easy to install and it looks great! Almost can't tell I have a cover on.
Great fit on my Carbon Pro bed!!
I'm on my third pickup with an Agri-Cover tonneau cover. They are great every time. I particularly like the low profile of this one...
Fast shipping and great price.
I have used Access products for many years, and they have always been good quality products with no problems. This vanish cover fits good, looks good, and got to me quickly!
Looks and works great!
Fit like a glove, I love it.
Love these covers, my Dad and I both have them on our trucks. Only complaint is that both covers were missing two bolts that were supposed to be included with the covers. No big deal though I had a couple bolts in my garage I was able to use.
Perfect fit, the straps were not included or mentioned to order with a older cover with sown in straps. I did use the serial number on the old cover .
Vanish cover; great low profile,,,,was able to alter it to fit my '99 C1500 Silverado with flipped a tailgate handle which is inside the bed. Will also buy one for my 1986 C10 Squarebody. Really nice quality.
Great product and easy installation as usual.
Easy to install and looks great and very durable.
The installation was very easy. Fit perfect and looks great.
I like this cover had one before it lasted 6 years and was still going strong couldn't use it on my new truck. Alitalia water get in from the car wash at the tail gate but in a normal rain its okay no water.
Great fit & price was great also.
A well designed, high quality product that not only protects what's in my truck bed, but is a good looking accessory to make my truck look great too. Simple to install, very durable, rolls easily, strong Velcro, and easy to adjust. I will absolutely buy another, IF this one ever wears out.
Don't fit right and got no real help
Works and looks great!
Installation was a breeze and it looks good!
Easy to put on, looks great however one of the plastic devices that adjusts the length of strap that holds the rolled up cover in rolled up mode is broken. I don't know if it came that way or not. Cover was on the truck for a couple weeks before I rolled it up and noticed that
I love the cover. It was easy to install in about one hour. I am having issues with getting the wind to stop getting under it, but I'll fine tune the adjustment knobs to tighten. Great cover at a fraction of the cost that the dealership wanted for a bed cover.
After 11 years I needed to replace the cover on my truck. The replacement cover came quickly. Instructions were detailed and easy to follow. I did this by myself, but I would recommend having a second person available - it would make the process easier.
This is my second ACI cover. Installation, on my 2022 Colorado was a bit of a problem, but tech service was great. The cover looks and works very well.
I had my original access cover for 11 years (installed it on 3 different trucks),and even though it was still in good condition I decided to buy a new one for my new truck this time.
I was disappointed to find 2 piece side rails as my old model has singles and would not have purchased knowing this, one of the plastic pieces connecting the two pieces was over tight from the factory and cracked. However the end product is close to what I wanted and seems to be ok.
Awesome cover, easy to install and use. Thank you for a great product!
Very happy with the product, and very easy to install.
Purchased my 1st cover in 2006. Great weatherability and when it was time for replacement parts it was inexpensive and easy - unlike many others I hjave worked on. It was an easy purchase for my new truck, and simple instructions. Great product for the price!
To have a low profile the angle for the velcro was adjusted, which makes sense, but makes it difficult to keep tight with my ladder rack. Great product, my struggles are due to my configuration. I had the Lorado on my last truck and will most likely have an Access Roll-Up cover on my next truck.
Great, I love it!!!
This is my third cover from ACI. My first cover I purchased in 2004 and it lasted until 2013, at that point I only had to purchase new material. That cover lasted until I sold the vehicle in 2022. This new cover does not seem to be as resilient as those two covers, but time will tell. The only thing that I dislike on this new cover is the closure latch - it's useless because it does not hold down the cover - thankfully they left the two slider latches to hold down the top. Other than that minor annoyance, the top looks and performs great.
Great looking. If hardware holds up and cover does not stretch should be good
Only natural that I put another Vanish Roll-Up Cover on the new Denali as the previous one looked nearly new after 9 years & no issues.
The cover is awesome. It fits and works well with the Adarac Pro series. Installation was a breeze and everything seems to be holding up just fine one month in.
I really like the cover. Easy to install, waterproof, and looks really nice.
Looks Nice on the truck.
Met the needs we wanted. Fairly easy to install. Satisfied with it.
Great cover, works well with my ADARAC racks
Very nice cover. Low and sleek, the locking feature is nice but they should reference exactly how that works in their installation instructions. Trying to close the cover the first time one of the locking mechanisms was in the way and bent my side rail a little. Easy to bend back and no effect on performance or look. Holds a little water when parked after a rain but still giving it 5 stars. Would buy again and recommend.
Easy to install. Made my mileage go up , not 10 mpg. But average about 3-4 and every one counts. Just added to the great looks of my truck. Easy to use by yourself!
I needed to replace the velcro hook material on my cover frame. Simple task Works great.
The replacement parts worked as expected.
I bought this because of the advertised low profile. Well it does not disappoint. It fits my old 1986 f150 short bed very well. it was one of the few low profile roll up covers out there for my year and model short bed. I do not drive it everyday so I can not speak to service but it looks fantastic. I have it adjusted so it sits flat with the bed and love the look I get and thats why I bought this. Easy install once I read the directions I threw in the trash when I opened the box...ugh... but once i knew what I was supposed to do it was very easy to install. I am building another short bed and will buy again.
Love this Roll up cover over 12 years old the only thing that has failed is the Velcro. And only hook portion on bed rails, the sun ate it up. I left it rolled up as i generally hauled tall materials. Certainly not a product quality issue. and have ordered replacement and was sent immediately awesome company thank you.
Got this replacement cover only because the velcro was no longer working. Replaced cover and velcro strips in the rails. Looking forward to another 6 or 7 years of use. This cover rocks.
Purchased the Vanish Roll up cover, and the truck bed mat. Vanish cover is nice, have purchased covers from ACI previously and always a quality product. I purchased the bed mat also. Warning, if you can't stand companies advertising, don't get the bed mat. They could have ironed their advertising in a small area in the back, or on the underside, but this is a bright yellow sticker right there as soon as you open the tailgate. I was going to return it but shipping it back would have cost nearly as much as the mat. I would have given 5 stars because I think the mat is nice, but could do without paying so much for something only to be forced into advertising it.
The replacement cover for the Vanish roll up was easy to install and has me back to new.
Very nice product and looks great on my 2023 Nissan Titan PRO 4X. I will say that it would have taken me about 20 minutes to put it on my truck if I had a little more room to work in my garage. I tried to pull pieces needed at the time of install out of the box and while trying to follow the directions it seemed like they were not for my truck. Long story short try to pull everything out, because the Nissan directions were tucked in the cover itself. After I found them it was so much easier and the cover fit so much better lol. It would have been a 20 minute install if it wasn't for my own stupidity and spread all the contents of the box out. | <urn:uuid:c0fdd43c-1b65-4c50-a391-7a4a34bd7ee3> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://shop.agricover.com/product/vanish | 2024-02-28T05:09:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.982769 | 5,670 |

The Acoustic Five consists of a saxophone, violin, guitar (or cello), piano, and double bass. It is an acoustic jazz quintet that performs extremely lyrical and sophisticated chamber music. A fascinating and singular musical journey, which despite its “chamber” instrumentation and the absence of drums, is deeply inscribed in the vocabulary of jazz, where interaction and swing are omnipresent. Saxophonist Franck Wolf has composed a large part of the repertoire especially for this acoustic quintet (with the exception of one or two old compositions completely rearranged for the occasion), where the saxophone (soprano or tenor) and the piano maliciously rub shoulders with a string trio composed of a violin, a guitar, and a double bass, and where on some tracks the cello replaces the guitar for a more “chamber” musical approach. A record which marks an important step in the brilliant career of the composer, leader, and saxophonist from Strasbourg Franck Wolf, whom the general public discovered with Biréli Lagrène (whom he has regularly accompanied for 16 years) and who, as a leader, has always liked taking risks and atypical projects (Triophone, straSax, the duet with the koto player Mieko Miyazaki…). | <urn:uuid:8006bef5-d5bc-437b-8909-080b2ddeb348> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://shop.franckwolf.com/product/acoustic-five/?lang=en | 2024-02-28T06:31:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.955927 | 269 |

It’s hot and summer is in full effect, but that doesn’t mean your fashion choices have to suffer as a result. Whether you are going to work, the park, the beach, a date or out with friends, here’s a style guide of all of the summer trends you don’t want to miss out on!

I mentioned this in a previous piece, but I cannot stress how necessary a fanny pack is. They are simple, chic, durable and more sensible to walk around with. All you need to carry around are your wallet, phone and maybe a fan, depending on how hot it is. A fanny pack can fit all of that and then some. I’m trying to save you energy and space on your body from trucking around a huge tote bag all summer long. Snap a fanny pack around your waist and be on your way! Every retailer, online and in-store carries them, and they vary in price. Depending on your budget, you can purchase one from anywhere to $1 to thousands.
Another full-circle fashion look is that of tie-dye. I haven’t personally tried this yet, but before the summer is over I will be sure to incorporate it into my look. It’s fun, colorful, and a nice throwback to multiple generations. Tie-dye was popular from the ’60s to the early ’90s and looks like it’s back to stay! Whether you opt for a tie-dye headband or a full-ensemble, you’ll be sure to both fit in and stand out. They even have tie dye bathing suits! Whatever the occasion is, you’ll kill it!
Looking to add a little fringe in your life? Well, now is the time. Perfect for music festivals or a fun night out, a little fringe can go a long way. You can be subtle or loud. The fun thing about fringe is that you can go for a simple, one-color look or go all out with prints. Fringy cover-ups are pretty popular this season, along with various kinds of fringed skirts.
We aren’t just working out in biker shorts anymore, they are a part of our outfits. High waist or regular, they are a perfect option to dress up or down. They come in varying colors, with neon being a favorite, they are comfy and can transition from day to night. Wear them with a crop top or oversized t-shirt. Either way, you’ll turn heads!
All the Prints
I’ve always been a cheetah girl and to this day, there’s a little cheetah/leopard print in my wardrobe. It’s such a classic print that transcends seasons. But this summer, the prints have expanded! There are lions, tigers, bears and everything in between walking around...the possibilities are limitless!
Lawd, y’all are shining brightly out here. I cannot walk down the street without seeing a variation of a crayon in a shirt, skirt or lip color. People are pushing the envelope with fashion and wearing bright colors from head to toe. It may be a spaghetti-strapped bodycon dress, biker shorts, a pair of sneakers or all of the above; no one is scared to rock neon anymore. Zara, H&M, Forever 21...the choices are endless.

The world is getting increasingly hard to navigate. And COVID has just added a new challenge to freedom of movement. But well before the pandemic, OECD countries had been for years tightening their requirements on the granting of visas to citizens from certain countries. The visa hurdle is a particularly harsh reality for African citizens wishing to travel to Europe for business, education or pleasure. Political correctness finds itself at odds with this thorny issue, so mainstream media tries to avoid the subject.
This two-part article aims at first understanding the problem and sketching a solution (Part one); followed by exploring the range of practical options (Part two).
The elephant in the room
Africa, as a continent, has by far the highest rate of Schengen visa refusals. There are only six countries in the world with a Schengen visa refusal rate superior to 45%, and they are all African countries. Top of the list is Guinea with a staggering 51% of refusals and Nigeria with 48%; followed by Senegal (45%), Algeria (43%), and Ghana (42%). Out of the 20 countries with the highest refusal rate, 15 are from the African continent. The other five are Iraq, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Iran and Haiti.
The situation creates a challenge for the citizens of these countries who wish to visit Europe. They face a barrage of paperwork and red tape. Every travelling endeavour becomes time consuming, uncertain and frustrating. This is echoed by many professionals working with African high net worth clients. They report a rise in hurdles trying to obtain Schengen or UK visas. Alexandre Amosu, a British/Nigerian luxury serial entrepreneur and the Founder of Lux Afrique, a leading luxury lifestyle management company for the African continent, says: “Part of our activity is to provide the African elite with a memorable experience while travelling to the UK or Europe. And in the past few years, we have been witnessing a severe tightening of visa rules. This is especially true for our compatriots in Nigeria just wanting to holiday in Europe. It’s a worrying trend, and I am afraid that only those with suitable second citizenship get rid conclusively of this hovering burden”.
No sign of immigration rules becoming more clement any time soon
Guinea, a country that hosts the world’s largest reserve of bauxite and that is also rich in gold and diamonds, endures the same problem. Its many successful local contractors and entrepreneurs face similar problems when they want to travel abroad on business or holiday with their family. Similar stories reverberate throughout Africa where businesspeople and affluent professionals are unfairly hampered in their access to global mobility.
Furthermore, the problem is only going to get worse. Demographic pressure, pandemics, terrorism, economic migration and the rise of nationalism and populism, force European governments to get tougher on immigration. The immediate collateral damage of that stance is the access to short-stay visas: the Schengen Visa for mainland Europe and the standard visitor visa for the UK. In 2019 alone, over 15 million visitors traveled around Europe with their Schengen visa. But the global refusal rate has steadily increased over the last three years (8.2% in 2017, 9.6% in 2018, 9.9% in 2019).
Where there is a will, there’s a way
While the tightening trend is undeniable, people have been looking for solutions. Fortunately, several options are available for people who are ready to embrace the global citizen lifestyle. Depending on their needs, financial means and family situation, three main routes lead to the travelling freedom already enjoyed by Europeans, Brits, Americans, Canadians and the citizens of most OECD countries. Several countries have opened their citizenship or residency to foreign investors without requiring them to leave their own country. Some of these programmes have been around for over 30 years; others have just recently been launched.
In short, the solution boils down to obtaining a second citizenship or a residency card that allows African citizens and their family to travel, send their kids to university and even immigrate visa-free in the countries of their choice.
For Africans who have acquired second citizenship, their new passport has been a life-changer. Though no official statistics are available, according to a recent article published in June in The Economist, wealthy Africans are rushing to acquire foreign passports, and citizenship specialists report this year a sharp increase in the number of inquiries coming from Africa. We are witnessing the same trend at Shorex Capital. Activity in our African desk for citizenship programs has more than doubled compared with last year.
The main options
Our next article will look at various second citizenship and residency programs. We will start by exploring the more affordable Caribbean passports, which are great mobility tools for visa-free travel. We will follow with European residency programs, analysing costs, benefits and limitations. Finally, we’ll wrap up with the holy grail: European passports. Becoming an EU citizen is the ultimate choice for those committed to giving total freedom of movement to their loved ones, with a lifetime ‘open door’ to move to Europe. | <urn:uuid:e354a549-ba2d-4308-bec1-d857530804da> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://shorexcapital.com/overcoming-the-visa-hurdle-for-african-citizens-part-1/ | 2024-02-28T06:34:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.948187 | 1,037 |
Housed amongst the Museum of Modern Art collection in New York, you’ll find a low lounge chair by Jens Risom. Straps are bound tight around it’s wooden armature. As tight as the wrapped material appears, the seat is a deceptively buoyant structure. Within the same room one may also discover a long roll of felt, a device assembled by artist Joseph Beuys. On further inspection the felt houses a flat steel slab, peeking out on either side of the roll.
Both of these works of art, one a functional piece of a furniture, the other a conceptual sculpture, meet with common academic and material qualities. Both were made utilizing humble, war time materials reevaluating ideas of comfort and home.
Jens Risom was born in May of 1916 in Copenhagen, Denmark. A son of the architect Sven Risom, Jens studied at the Copenhagen School of Industrial Arts and Design, later relocating to New York City to break into the furniture world in the late thirties. By 1941 Risom had paired with the iconic designer Hans Knoll and within a year they built the Hans Knoll Furniture Company with Risom heading the design of multiple works, including the infamous low lounge chair, in the company’s inaugural collection.
During WWII, material was scarce due to wartime rationing of substances such as rubber, metal and paper. Consumer products remained in high demand, however, despite the lack of material to manufacture. Risom and Knoll recognised the American public’s need for affordable furniture, and the lack thereof of it, as Risom stated “There was no furniture, nothing to be had, everybody was anxious to buy everything they could get their hands on”. Risom quickly recognised an untapped market of surplus material, discarded nylon parachute cords. Sturdy yet light enough to aid in a soldier’s descent, the parachute cords made a perfect fit for Risom’s lounge chair design. Malleable in property, they allowed Risom to perfect what would become his signature style.
From his early success onwards, Risom forayed into the fine arts lense. Collaborating with Ricahrd Avedon, a renowned portrait photographer, a series of ads were created highlighting Risom’s available to purchase furniture with the slogan “The Answer is Risom”. These sleek ads absent of foreground and background, featuring only a model to ground the furniture, allowed the viewer to imagine Risom’s furniture within their own spaces and home. On the back of the success of these ads, Risom broadened his practice into the realm of commercial office and library furniture, extending to all realms of public usage and space.
At this time, Arts Institutions were beginning to eye his designs for public exhibition. Starting as early as 1953, Risom’s furniture was included in Exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the esteemed Brooklyn Museum where his lounge chair is still on public view today to visitors in the museum’s annex, the Lucas Center for American Arts, a study center that uses objects in it’s collection to explore how institutions collect and function.
After his ascent to fame, Risom sold his Design firm and in 1970 moved to New Canaan Connecticut to develop a design consulting firm where he passed away at the age of 100.
Posthumously, just as artists such as Beuys, Risom has notably been recognised by the fine art world for his many contributions in design, with continued display at many museums including the Yale University Art Gallery and the Rhode Island School of Design where he was a long-standing trustee. Most recently, in 2008, Rocket Gallery and Liberty Gallery of London held retrospectives of Risom’s principle designs with Knoll, further continuing the education, accessibility and artistry of furniture design. | <urn:uuid:b1b7ca80-71bd-4142-94cb-4eca183d212d> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://showrooms2220.com/blog/jen-risom--an-ongoing-retrospective-27 | 2024-02-28T06:00:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.969555 | 814 |
Tarpon Springs, FL– The Southern Shrimp Alliance, a trade association representing the U.S. shrimp fishery, launched a campaign this week directed at restoring full industry compliance with crucial laws regarding the use of turtle excluder devices (TEDs) in fishing nets. The goal of the campaign, directed at shrimp fishermen throughout the Gulf and South Atlantic region, is to restore TED compliance to previous levels of ninety-seven percent.
“The shrimp fishery’s high compliance with turtle excluder device laws has allowed shrimp fishermen to continue operating under the strict rules of the Endangered Species Act. Compliance has decreased recently and the fishery could be closed if the violations do not stop immediately,” stated John Williams, executive director of the Southern Shrimp Alliance.
The campaign launched with a letter to the shrimp industry that asks fishermen not to fish until they are certain they are in compliance and recommends that shrimpers work with the government’s Gear Management Team before leaving the dock. It also warns shrimpers against turning a blind eye when they see other shrimpers in violation.
“Every violation, regardless of severity or intention, puts our entire fishery at a very real and serious risk of being shut down,” said Williams, noting that a conglomerate of environmental groups have put the National Marine Fisheries Service on notice that it intends to file suit under the Endangered Species Act.
A significant increase in the number of turtle strandings in some coastal areas has brought more urgency to clamping down on TED violations.
“Sea turtles end up as strandings on the beach for many different reasons, but some do perish due to the shrimp fishery. When the industry fails our TED compliance responsibilities, some critics place the blame for the entire problem of sea turtle strandings around our necks,” explained Williams. “The best way to get regulators to evaluate all of the facts and address the other possible causes of sea turtle strandings is to show that our vessels are in compliance with TED regulations and reaffirm our industry’s commitment to being part of a sustainable, productive fishery. ”
There are many possible causes for recent sea turtle strandings, ranging from the BP oil spill and clean up efforts—such as dredging—to other fisheries and disease. This is supported by the fact that data regarding sea turtle strandings and data on the time and location of shrimp fishing activity do not line up. Many of the strandings have occurred in areas where shrimp fishing effort was very low or even non-existent. However, returning the industry to its previous, highly acclaimed levels of regulatory compliance is the first step in identifying all other sources of the increased level of turtle strandings.
The Southern Shrimp Alliance will take its message to Washington, DC, where it will be meeting with regulatory leaders to discuss an action plan for what steps the industry and government can take together to solve both the problem of TEDs compliance and the issue of turtle strandings.
“The Southern Shrimp Alliance is working with the facts and taking responsibility for our industry. We fully expect that our partners in the government will do the same,” Williams added.
The Southern Shrimp Alliance represents the U.S. warmwater wild shrimp fishery from eight states: North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas. For more information, please visit shrimpalliance.com or follow @ShrimpAlliance on Twitter.

MANILA, Philippines – A total of P181,300,409 in aid has been granted to Mindanao residents affected by the depression of a low pressure area (LPA) as of Tuesday, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) said.
Aid has been distributed to 1,484,684 affected individuals or 414,959 families in Davao Region, Soccskargen, Caraga and the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), according to the DSWD progress report released at 6 a.m.

The report further states that, among the affected individuals, the department is still monitoring the situation of more than 300,000 displaced people, with 23,112 of them residing in the 106 evacuation centers in the four regions.
Among these displaced people, 401 are children and 66 are pregnant women.
The progress report adds that the LPA depression, which dissipated on February 3, completely damaged 665 houses and partially damaged 937 more in the 816 affected barangays (villages).
According to the situation report of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council, the aid provided to affected Mindanao residents includes family food packages, medicines, hygiene kits and water, among others.
Incessant rains caused by the LPA Valley triggered a deadly landslide in a mining village in Maco town in Davao de Oro on February 6, killing at least 55 people, according to the latest figures from the local government.

The DSWD said in a statement on Monday that to help console the grieving families of the landslide victims, the department's social workers in the Davao region are conducting grief counseling.
DSWD chief Rex Gatchalian also assured the people of Mindanao that they will receive all necessary assistance, including financial aid and psychosocial intervention.
The department's progress report noted that there are still relief resources worth P3 billion available in the coffers of the DSWD. | <urn:uuid:7dcaf693-c109-4529-861a-3cf0e4c07bd9> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://sideth.com/dswd-distributes-aid-worth-p181-million-to-victims-of-lpa-crisis-in-mindanao/ | 2024-02-28T05:50:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.949162 | 436 |

Have you ever wondered what are the best books to learn Python?
“Python is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level programming language with dynamic semantics. Its high-level built-in data structures, combined with dynamic typing and dynamic binding, make it very attractive for Rapid Application Development, as well as for use as a scripting or glue language to connect existing components together. Python's simple, easy-to-learn syntax emphasizes readability and therefore reduces the cost of program maintenance. Python supports modules and packages, which encourages program modularity and code reuse. The Python interpreter and the extensive standard library are available in source or binary form without charge for all major platforms and can be freely distributed.
Often, programmers fall in love with Python because of the increased productivity it provides. Since there is no compilation step, the edit-test-debug cycle is incredibly fast. Debugging Python programs is easy: a bug or bad input will never cause a segmentation fault. Instead, when the interpreter discovers an error, it raises an exception. When the program doesn't catch the exception, the interpreter prints a stack trace. A source-level debugger allows inspection of local and global variables, evaluation of arbitrary expressions, setting breakpoints, stepping through the code a line at a time, and so on. The debugger is written in Python itself, testifying to Python's introspective power. On the other hand, often the quickest way to debug a program is to add a few print statements to the source: the fast edit-test-debug cycle makes this simple approach very effective.”
I've programmed in Python before and I must say I love Python!
In this video, I'll list the top 10 books if you're serious about learning Python, whether you're a beginner and or advanced (even a kid! lol)

As parents, we all want the best for our children, so it's important to make educated decisions about the foods that we allow our children to eat. In an ideal world, children would choose fruits and veggies over sugary snacks, but unfortunately, that is not the world we live in–and who can blame them? Even as parents, I’m sure most of us can relate to choosing a cookie over an apple every now and then. With that being said, it’s up to parents to find a balance between what they want and what they need, but it can be a difficult task, especially if you have a child with autism. That is why we thought it would be the perfect opportunity to share information about nutritious foods for children, while also highlighting the top foods to avoid with autism.
Before we get into the best and worst foods for autism, let’s take a step back and just do a quick overview of what autism is, and what it may look like in young children. NIMH defines Autism Spectrum Disorder, or ASD, as a developmental disorder that affects communication and behavior in children and adults. It can be diagnosed at any age, but it is categorized as a developmental disorder because signs typically appear in early childhood.
Symptoms of ASD can begin as early as 1 to 2 years of age and are typically observed after parents notice a delay in certain developmental milestones. Although not all symptoms are present in every ASD diagnosis, below are some common signs of autism in children:
- Picky eating
- Social communication/interaction behaviors
- Lack of eye contact
- Stereotypic behavior:
- Marching in place
- Rocking back and forth
- Hand and arm flapping
- Toe walking
- Finger tapping
- Repetitive finger movements
- Repeated words or phrases
- Spinning objects
- Lining objects up
- Lack of enjoyment from objects or activities being pointed out by others
- Intense and hyper-focused interests
- Having difficulty reading facial expressions or social cues
- Repetitive/Restrictive Behaviors
- Sensory issues to loud sounds, bright lights, etc.
Top 5 Foods To Avoid With Autism
Some foods can cause gastrointestinal issues in an autistic child and that is why certain foods should be avoided if you are a parent to a child with autism. As with any balanced diet, it is critical for parents to choose foods that are rich in vitamins and essential nutrients for healthy development. But here are the foods to avoid with autism:
- Sugary Foods: Although moderation is key in all children, it may be a good idea to avoid high-sugar foods if your child already shows signs of hyperactivity.
- Dairy Products: Dairy may cause inflammation in some people, which can essentially impair immune function. Parents who have eliminated dairy from their children’s diet have noticed a significant improvement in their child’s ASD symptoms. (If you are looking for a milk substitute, skip the soy, as it has also been linked to inflammation in children with autism and opt for unsweetened almond milk instead).
- Gluten: Research shows that gluten—a mixture of proteins found in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye—can increase systemic inflammation when ingested. Gluten may also decrease the good bacteria in the gut, which may increase the risk of your child feeling anxious or stressed.
- Corn: Corn is another of the top 5 foods that is associated with intolerance and inflammation. Removing it from the diet can show gut improvements.
- Artificial Ingredients: Avoid foods with artificial dyes, artificial flavors, additives, and preservatives, as some studies have shown potential links between autism and ingredients found in processed foods.
Best Foods For Autism
So now that you know what foods to avoid with autism, let’s review some of the best foods and snacks for your child.
- Fruits and vegetables: These are good sources of fiber and vitamins, so they're a great way to get your kid started on a healthy diet. Fruits like apples and bananas are high in potassium, which helps regulate blood pressure, while green leafy vegetables like spinach provide folate (a B vitamin) and vitamin K that can provide other essential nutrients.
- Beans: Beans are rich in many important minerals, including magnesium and iron—and beans also contain a high amount of fiber.
- Fish: Fish contains omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), which have been shown to be beneficial for children with ASD. They also contain vitamin D, selenium, zinc, iodine, vitamin B12, vitamin E… all things that can help improve your child's overall health by supporting brain function! If your child doesn’t like fish, you can also find an Omega 3 DHA Supplement to get the same benefits.
For parents of children with Autism, you know that having the resources and tools for your child is essential, and knowing what types of foods to eliminate from your child’s diet may help to improve ASD symptoms. If you are finding it difficult to ensure that your child is getting the essential nutrients that would typically come from food, nutritional supplements may be the best option.
At Simple Spectrum, we have two great supplements that were formulated to address any dietary deficiencies by providing the nutrients they need for healthier neurological development and function.
- Nutritional Support Supplement: This supplement was designed to support the nutritional needs of the developing nervous system in children by addressing potential dietary deficiencies.
- Omega-3 DHA Supplement: This supplement was designed for cognitive support for the developing brain and nervous system. Clinical research suggests that DHA is critically important for numerous bodily functions, especially inflammation. | <urn:uuid:fe31be6a-9b1d-48bf-ac9b-bf68b6de958d> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://simplespectrumsupplement.com/es/blogs/news/5-foods-to-avoid-with-autism | 2024-02-28T05:57:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.953286 | 1,167 |

One effective way to conserve is to spread awareness about environmental issues. We at Simpson Street Free Press know this well and emphasize energy and environment topics in our curriculum. Members of the Wisconsin chapter of The Nature Conservancy (TNC) recently visited our South Towne newsroom to present a panel around the theme “Conservation and the Environment.”
According to their mission, TNC is “the leading conservation organization working around the world to protect ecologically important lands and waters for nature and people.” Four dedicated members of the Conservancy in Wisconsin—Hannah Spaul, Nick Miller, Paul Heinen, and Karla Noboa—served on the panel. I had the wonderful opportunity to lead the panel and the question and answer session that followed.
After a brief introduction, each panelist talked about his or her work in relation to the Conservancy in Wisconsin. Spaul, Director of Land Management, has worked for TNC for 18 years in a variety of land stewardship capacities. Miller is the Conservancy’s Science Director and helps bring science to conservation policy and strategies. Heinen works as TNC’s State Government Relations Director. And Noboa serves as the Conservancy’s Outreach Coordinator.
Each panel member touched on the threats currently facing the environment—both locally and globally. Student questions to panelists ranged from queries about the terms “conservation” and “preservation” to inquiries about the political climate surrounding environmental issues today.
All of the panelists provided useful information and advice about how individuals can conserve every day. Student reporter Sarah Useche especially enjoyed their advice to young people who aren’t exactly sure how they can play a positive role in global conservation efforts.
“I think it’s really cool and inspiring that the panelists think young people can make a difference in our environment. Mr. Heinen suggested that those of us who are 18 can make our concerns heard by voting. And for those of us who aren’t 18, we can encourage our parents, teachers, and older friends to vote and protect all that matters to us,” said Useche.
Staff and students at Simpson Street are very grateful to the Wisconsin chapter of The Nature Conservancy. We thank Spaul, Miller, Heinen, and Noboa for a fascinating and illuminating experience. We look forward to an ongoing partnership with the TNC and are reinvigorated in our efforts to bring important environmental news to our readers and community. | <urn:uuid:ab987f76-cf0d-4cab-9c8d-42a8dde135e2> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://simpsonstreetfreepress.org/on-wisc/state-environment/conservation-panel | 2024-02-28T06:31:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.952384 | 517 |

Three New Exhibitions in Brno Commemorate The Artistic Legacy of Woody and Steina Vašulka
The new media art centre, called Vašulka Kitchen Brno, will be presented on this occasion at its new premises in the House of the Lords of Kunštát. Credit: Dům Umění.
Brno, Dec 6 (BD) – Shortly before the end of the year, the Brno House of Arts will welcome three new exhibitions: “Součty a Rozdíly” (“Sums and Differences”), “Brainscape”, and “Otevřený Digitální Archiv a Testovací Laboratoř Pro Živé Publikum” (“Open Digital Archive and Test Laboratory for a Live Audience”).
All of these exhibitions work in their own specific way with the artistic legacy of one of the international pioneers of world video art, Brno native Woody Vašulka (1937–2019), and his wife Steina (born 1940). The new media art centre, called Vašulka Kitchen Brno, which has been curating the legacy of the Vašulka family for a long time, will be presented on this occasion at its new premises in the House of the Lords of Kunštát, opened thanks to the support of the City of Brno.
The joint opening will take place on Tuesday, 12 December, first with the two exhibitions in the House of Kunštát, “Brainscape” and “Open Digital Archive”, at 5 pm, followed by “Sums & Differences” in the House of Art at 6pm, with an accompanying program including a performance at 7 pm by the American composer and artist, Arnold Dreyblatt.
The Vašulkas met for the first time at the turn of the 1950s and 1960s, when Woody was studying at the documentary department of FAMU in Prague and Steina studying violin at the Academy of Performing Arts. In 1965, they went to New York together, where they documented the independent art scene and worked on their own work. In 1971, together with the artist Andy Mannick, they founded the cultural facility “The Kitchen”, which initially provided a space for artists working with video, but over time transformed into a multi-genre centre including dance, literature and music.
The Vašulka Kitchen Brno centre, which refers to the New York “kitchen” in its name, aims to preserve and curate the work of the Vašulkas, and develop their legacy through research, artistic experimentation and informal education in the field of new media.
The “Sums & Differences” exhibition will be on display in the House of Arts on Malinovského náměstí, including works by the Vašulkas and the American artist Gary Hill (born 1951), a representative of the second generation of pioneers of electronic image art who was chosen by the Vašulkas themselves as their successor at the Center for Media Studies in New York State University in Buffalo.
The aim of the exhibition, which features works from the 1970s and contemporary pieces, is to outline the common features of their early exploration and subsequent divergence of artistic practices, along with their conceptual, performative and contemplative interpretations of physical and immaterial features. The exhibition was created thanks to cooperation between the House of Arts, Vašulka Kitchen Brno, and the Icelandic LÁ Art Museum, which first hosted the exhibition in 2022. The Brno version will include certain additions to the Icelandic version, such as the Borealis installation by Steina Vašulka. The exhibition will continue until 3 March 2024.
“Brainscape” is an exhibition of works by Alfons Schilling (1934–2013), a Swiss artist who lived and worked mainly in the United States and Vienna. In his work, he was interested in creating the illusion of depth in an image, in the relationship between what our eyes see and what our brain perceives. This led him to consider how random human vision is and how differently it might be organised.
The exhibition, on the first floor of the House of Kunštát, focuses mainly on Schilling’s work from the 1960s, when he collaborated with the Vašulka family, until the 1980s. During this period, Schilling explored various methods of 3D display such as holography, stereo-photography and 3D virtual spaces. The exhibition is held in collaboration with the Archive & Estate of Alfons Schilling in Vienna and will continue until 4 February 2024.
The first exhibition of “Vašulka Kitchen Brno” in its new premises will be the “Open Digital Archive & Test Laboratory For Live Audience”. The exhibition will present not only extensive material from the “Vašulka Kitchen Brno” archive, but also experimental interpretations of this collection by a group of Czech and foreign artists, including Chris Hill, MSHR (Birch Cooper & Brenna Murphy), Michal Kindernay, Jennifer Helia DeFelice, Tomáš Ruller, Dušan Barok and others. Diverse audiovisual material, inventoried systematically in recent years, will be presented in the exhibition in the form of a structured database, and also as an interactive installation of the interdisciplinary project “Vašulka Live Archive”. The exhibition will last until 4 February 2024.To mark the exhibitions, a new podcast, “Dom umění”, will be released on Spotify, providing a closer look at the activities of the Vašulka Kitchen Brno, its past and present, as well as plans for the future. The accompanying program will include guided tours with creators, workshops, screenings and other events.

The blog has been a bit quiet lately. The reading has been a bit less intense as well. This is because reading is not merely a mental activity. It is also an action of the body. And my body has had other things to tend to this week.
Not least of these things was a bat that I found yawning above our dining room door at about 11pm Tuesday night. After panicking, trembling, flinching, and posting myself on our stairs with a large plastic bin lid to keep the poor thing from venturing upstairs, I watched the bat soar through the open front door into the night. And I spent the rest of the night not sleeping. (I have found that I don’t do well with bats.)
After spending Wednesday in a fog—partly cleared by two meetings (one scheduled, another not) and a glorious three-hour conversation with a former student about…well, as it turns out, many of the topics associated with my “seminar,” I had an indifferent night’s sleep and woke on Thursday feeling much more exhausted than I had the day before—and with a serious of family chauffering duties ahead of me. By the end of the day, I was feeling a bit better, but still quite tired, and the 8-mile “ice cream ride” I went on with my kids along the Lehigh River that evening didn’t get me in a better place for academic rigor.Today, I’m mostly recovered, and I celebrated my recovery with a 10-mile bike ride down a canal towpath along the Delaware River. This proved to be a much more benign encounter with nature, as the weather was just about ideal for riding. After a few more hours of daddy time, I had almost three hours left in the day to do my reading. This is what reading in my body looks like this week: freaked-out, wiped-out, weak, parental, and parceled-out.
This half-comical series of distractions, commitments, accidents, and open-eyed choices puts my seminar work, and my larger sabbatical work, into a larger context for me. For my first several years on the tenure track, I put work first while insisting on making time for family. I wore myself very thin, slipped a disc in my back simply from too much desk time (with bad posture), and made things harder on my wife than I realized at the time. Then, as I’ve shared before, we found out she was pregnant—and had cancer—the same week the “book that broke my back” came out. That week in April 2012 launched a nearly two-year-long cycle of distractions, commitments, accidents, and open-eyed choices, with a lot of anxiety, resentment, and exhaustion to boot. Being pulled away from work became the norm for me; I learned to take better care of myself, to care for myself in new ways such as insisting on the refreshment of getting outdoors. Even when it meant that some work, that likely had already been delayed by a medical appointment or parenting or housework, would have to wait longer.
I’m realizing that part of the value of the Poetic Faith seminar for me is in confronting those patterns, good and bad, that came to redefine my life three years ago. By the grace of God, I have a healthy wife, a quartet of kids that amaze me daily, and two years ahead of me to develop a book—maybe more than one—and to nurture patterns of thought, work, and life with a level of control the professorial life rarely allows (recognizing already that the professorial life at least potentially offers considerably more control over these choices than many other lifestyles do).
And yet I still don’t have control. Not over everything. Sometimes, not even over most things. Balancing the push-and-pull of living in a body and a family and a social world with the pleasures and rigors of the life of the mind is itself, I think, an act of poetic faith. One of my readings this week (I did read something!) was Romand Coles’s Rethinking Generosity (1997). Coles, a political theorist who, like many of my other selected authors, has been deeply engaged in debates over the nature of post-secularity, puts forward a densely argued, richly footnoted argument for the inadequacy of secular, self-based notions of generosity. (He criticizes rather than critiques Judeo-Christian notions of generosity, dismissing in his introduction what sounds like a straw man but is never explained enough for me to know exactly what it is he doesn’t like about how God gives—and then he gives Kant fifty pages to make his case and then take it apart. But anyway.) The key, he argues, is learning how to give within receptivity to the other—don’t just give someone you think is good for them or something that you will like giving, but also don’t just give what it seems they want just to please them. The goal is sharing in another’s joy while still recognizing that there is a difference between how the giver and the receiver experience joy. He develops this argument through a beautifully generous and illuminating reading of Theodor Adorno, one of the more difficult theorists a typical grad student will have to wrestle with and a man with a reputation for being a tough-as-nails, anti-consumerism elitist. Coles shows the hope in Adorno’s often dark critiques of modern society, particularly in the possibility of opening the self, and in effect rebuilding the self anew, by giving with receptivity and receiving with generosity. For Adorno and for Coles, giving at its best leads both giver and receiver into greater freedom because of greater openness to others.
This beatific vision of human relations as they can be was just the reading for my Friday afternoon. After working dutifully through various writings earlier this week (I’ll post on those soon) and having my self-made plans derailed, I learned not only the truth of reading being an embodied practice but also the insight that giving to others, whether my wife and children, to students dropping by for reference letters or existential guidance, and even to the authors whose words I encounter, digest, and judge: this is the best way I can give life in the day-to-day I’m in right now. This is living, this is ministry and grace and faith. I didn’t always feel kindly toward those I encountered this week (least of all the bat!), but being in that uncomfortable, dynamic place Adorno would call the “negative dynamics” (St. Paul might have called kenosis) is the holiest of holies in my embodied, everyday life.

This next story is what life, and the holidays, are all about. Meet JD Slajchert, former college athlete and author, “Darling, You’re Not Alone.” The book is based on JD’s life story about a young boy who came to see all of JD’s college basketball games, until one day, the boy got very sick.
What happens after the boy’s illness forever changed JD’s purpose in life, and he writes about it. In fact, the NY Times calls his book, “A Must Read That Will Change Your Life.” We talk with JD about this, and also how one incident in a person’s life can truly change one’s entire direction in life. #DeborahKobyltLIVE #DeborahZaraKobylt | <urn:uuid:c27f2a27-15b1-4ed4-848f-8b64d889896a> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://sites.libsyn.com/103142/jd-slajchert-author-darling-youre-not-alone | 2024-02-28T06:07:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.965534 | 182 |
ans of the Wordle game will appreciate a certain 5-letter word that represents fun in Texas. That word is “sport,” and in Texas, it’s everywhere.
Nowhere is that more evident than in the bustling city of Frisco about 30 minutes north of Dallas. From hosting the headquarters of the Dallas Cowboys to sporting the best athletic facilities on earth, this town of 218,735 people packs more fun into a weekend than most cities do in a whole year.
Watch FC Dallas host a Major League Soccer match at Toyota Stadium? Check. Catch a Cowboys’ practice at their National Football League training complex at The Star in Frisco? Check. Watch the Dallas Stars of the National Hockey League in action? Check. See the Texas Legends, Frisco Fighters, Frisco Roughriders and the best high school and college athletes in America? Check.
And soon, you can add championship pro golf to the mix, as the PGA of America headquarters completes its relocation from South Florida and gets set for a soft open in August. By the second quarter of next year, an all-new Omni Resort and lots of retail space will open on site as well. May of 2023 brings the PGA of America’s first big event – the KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship. A 500-room hotel, 127,000 sq. ft. of conference space, huge jumbo screens and technology village, and miles of hiking and biking trails round out the 600-acre complex.
And we’re just getting started. According to Gloria Salinas, vice president of the Frisco Economic Development Corp., the sports world will soon bring even more athletic competitions to town. “Many athletic tournaments are happening here,” says Salinas. “The Conference USA women’s college basketball tournament was held here, hosted by the University of North Texas’s Frisco campus. They play at The Star.”
She adds that “everywhere you go around Frisco, you see new construction. We have nine cranes in the sky and will add a 10th one soon.”
Not far away in Collin County in North Texas, it’s happening in the city of Melissa too. They say that everything’s bigger in Texas, and that’s certainly true with the construction of the Melissa Championship Center. In a state known for gargantuan athletic facilities, the MCC is now the largest athletic practice facility of them all, checking in at 134,000 sq. ft.
The MCC is located at Melissa High School and is a $21.3 million, college-level complex that includes an indoor practice facility; elevated platform that serves as a film deck; safety-conscious and eco-friendly field turf; on-site injury rehab clinic; and nine locker rooms, weight room, treatment area, training rooms and theater classrooms for teaching and film study.
The complex was built by Harrison, Walker & Harper LLC, which has offices in Paris and McKinney. “Our partnership with Melissa Independent School District on this revolutionary project fulfills the district’s vision of providing best-in-class facilities to the Texas high school sports community while also broadening HWH’s school construction expertise,” says Jordan Harper, CEO of HWH. “The new center offers Melissa ISD and schools across the state a facility that can accommodate athletes of every sport and keep them safe and healthy as they progress in their athletic careers.”

Remarkably, the complex was built during a global pandemic and recession and remained on time and on budget. “We started early enough so that most of our materials were secured before the project,” says Cory Wood, senior business development manager for HWH. “About 100 people were working on site during peak construction, and about 10 people are employed full-time at the center now. We are the oldest family-owned construction firm in Texas, and we cater to the educational and youth sports market. We specialize in helping our clients get the most product for the funds they have to spend, and we love youth sports.” | <urn:uuid:9f092817-b7f1-42a4-94ec-4951a932cefc> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://siteselection.com/cc/texas/2022/sports-just-go-bigger-in-texas.cfm?s=ra | 2024-02-28T05:32:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.959511 | 875 |
Sitka is… Southeast Alaska’s Art Destination
People often wonder what folks do in Sitka during the long, gray winter months. The answer is simple - they go to the theater, they participate in theater, they listen to music, they create music, they attend lectures, they give lectures, they take classes and teach classes. Sitka transforms once the tourist season is over.
People often wonder what folks do in Sitka during the long, gray winter months. The answer is simple – they go to the theater, they participate in theater, they listen to music, they create music, they attend lectures, they give lectures, they take classes and teach classes. Sitka transforms once the tourist season is over. It becomes a place of art.
Sitkans are busy. It’s almost fair to say that Sitka hosts 360 days of art in some way, shape, or form. This could be a bit of a stretch, but there is certainly art to be had just about everywhere.
Two organizations are leaders in the arts community: the Sitka Fine Arts Camp and the Greater Sitka Arts Council. In addition to their nationally recognized summer camps, the Sitka Fine Arts Camp also hosts Young Performers Theater and a winter Performing Arts Series. This season features Ghanaian musician Okaidja Afroso and the annual Holiday Brass Concert with members of top orchestras from around the country.
The Greater Sitka Arts Council serves as the umbrella for a host of juicy arts opportunities and events: Sitka Wearable Art, PorchFest, Sitka Community Theater, Sitka Monthly Grind, Gallery Walks, Open Mics, and Sitka Strings.
Near the beginning of the GSAC season is Radio Adventure Hour, an old-time radio show, with live sound effects produced on stage in front of the audience.
Porchfest is the newest GSAC collaboration. It is a day filled with music, dance and visual art in downtown Sitka. All the events are open to the public, free of charge and family friendly.
But wait, there’s more. Sheldon Jackson Museum, Sitka Music Festival, Island Artists Cooperative, Sitka Tells Tales, Sitka Studio of Dance, Ramshackle Cabaret, Naa Kahidi Dancers, Sitka Film Society, Sitka Cirque, and Ocean Wave Quilters Guild – all keep Sitkans fully entertained.
Add in Sitka Library lectures and visiting authors, Public Radio shows produced by KCAW volunteers, events at University of Alaska Southeast Sitka Campus, markets and bazaars, small performance groups (celtic, ukuleles, shape note singing), and individual musicians playing on the street in multiple configurations.
Appreciation of the arts extends to Sitka schools. Mt. Edgecumbe High School and Sitka High School have outstanding drama and debate teams, art students produce amazing pieces, and the music programs are unparalleled. Sitka High School also boasts one of the most acoustically perfect Performing Arts Centers in the United States.
You don’t have to look far to find something “artsy” to do on a chilly winter day. With dramatic landscapes that could be a painting, hiking trails that are art in themselves, and a rich history of Alaska Native Arts, Sitka-by-the-Sea is truly an art lover’s paradise.
The Sitka Winter Arts Guide is out on stands now!

It is a fact that when you want to know about the position of any country, look at its educational institutions. The quality of education of any country plays an essential role in the progress. That is why for all regions, the main aim is to focus on the growth of their education system. We experienced a sizeable change in all fields in recent years. Like the other platforms, the educational system is no different than others. With the help of technology, we can bring the desired change into our educational system. You can opt for the best education software in your educational system to ensure the effective execution of all things. But it is better to jot down your growth plan and goals in the education system.
Know that the education system has suffered due to the lack of direction. Many education leaders are failing in their attempt to remodel the education system. It is crucial to bring much-needed changes to our educational system if we want better results. There are many issues like curriculum change, low quality of instructors, and having zero to the little technological platform. You need to resolve all these issues in a foolproof way. You can read below the guide that is all you need to know about education growth and development.
Invest in smart technologies
Know that technology is becoming an essential part of our field with each passing day. Even in educational institutions, the role of technological gadgets is significant. For the growth of your students and academics, you have to invest in digital applications. You can opt for an ERP system to make your school’s functions efficient. Using the technologies can help you complete all your tasks in less time. in addition to time-saving, there are fewer chances of error when you do all your work digitally.
Training of instructors and staff
Your instructors are the most significant asset of your educational institutions. Without the instructors and staff members, you cannot develop your school. That is why you need to focus on improving the quality of your instructors. Try to hire such instructors that can help your students groom. Other than your instructors, your administration also plays a vital role. It is also beneficial to train your instructors and administration to enhance their productivity.
There is no doubt that the curriculum plays a crucial role in making o breaking your educational institution. The curriculum you put together decides the fate of your students. Try to include more practical work in your syllabus. This way, the students will have a fair idea of what they need to do in the future. Besides, you can increase the understanding level of your students with the help of activities and hands-on tasks.
Include active learning
Active learning is an approach that can help you improve your learning ability. Most instructors focus on creating engaging and quality content in active learning. This methodology can help you put together interactive sessions with your students. For active learning, your course should include many vital things. You can add discussions, practical work, case studies, and different thought-provoking exercises. These practical tasks and activities are all students need to enhance their learning capability. | <urn:uuid:37676fab-36f1-4d70-b584-6ebe2481946e> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://siva-edu.com/all-you-need-to-know-about-educational-growth-development/ | 2024-02-28T05:14:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.956776 | 613 |
UVA was looking to develop an interactive site to pull important information dependent on the user. Developing the site in Plone 3.x enabled audience-driven content.
Designing the site's initial popup, the user selects which role bests fits their duties; whether its Provider (MD, DDS, etc), Clinical Support (RN, LPN, etc.), Clerical Support (Registration, Secretarial, etc), Allied (Labs, Pharmacy, etc) or Superuser. By making this selection, the user sets the cookie value for their preferred section and the site provides user-relevant information.
Each section of the Resource Center updates its content to be user specific. If you are a Provider, the Tools, Training, Team Members and Support sections update to focus on your needs.
Epic Communicator's template provides dynamic content, offering features such as "View More" sections that provide more or less content depending on the user's need.
PloneCommenting enables users to interact with each other and provide feedback on EpicCare's developing design. This allows for dialogue on new system updates and even gave users a way to make suggestions for system improvements before UVA's go-live date.

The freedom to wander
The 1,200-kilometre Skåneleden Trail crosses through forests, pastures and beaches. If you are hiking along the Skåneleden Trail, it is important to keep in mind that you are travelling over someone else’s land. Some 1,000 landowners have generously made their lands available for hiking. Close gates behind you and do not cross into or over anyone else’s property. Do not cross or enter areas where reforestation or cultivation is underway, and be aware that the Right of Public Access is limited in nature reserves and national parks. You will find the rules posted on information boards in these areas. You can also contact municipal or county administrations for more information. As a guest enjoying the Swedish countryside, it is always up to you to find out what the rules are in the areas you visit. You will find more information on the Right of Public Access here.
Spending your night under the stars
Camping under the night skies in fresh air is a wonderful experience. According to the Right of Public Access, you can pitch your tent in the countryside for one night before you have to move to a new place. If you are part of a larger group with many tents, you must have the landowner’s permission. Keep in mind that you may not disturb or intrude upon the landowner or damage nature in any way. Choose hardy ground to pitch your tent, and do not camp on land used for grazing or any type of agriculture or cultivation. Your campsite must be located well away from people’s houses. In national parks and nature reserves, special regulations for camping may apply.
Once you’ve settled in, a campfire can add to the outdoor ambience. You may light a fire in nature as long as there is no ban on open fires. Bans on open fires are especially common during the summers when it can be dry. Please check out the updated trail status applied to each section on this website to know if there is a ban on open fires. Remember that you are personally responsible for the fire and can be held liable for any fire damage. Whenever possible, use the purpose-built grill areas, or reduce the risk of your fire getting out of control by preparing a temporary grill area on an appropriate surface. Always extinguish your fire or the embers with water, and remove any custom-built grills before you continue on your way.
Fishing along the Trail
Fresh fish is extra delicious when you’ve been hiking. But fishing is not allowed everywhere. Fishing with hand-held equipment is normally permitted along the seashore. For all other waters in Skåne, you will need a fishing license. Read more about fishing in South Sweden here.
Picking berries and gathering wood
In most places it’s okay to pick berries, wild flowers, herbs, mushrooms or cones from evergreens, please be aware that these thing can differ in a national park, nature reserve or on privately owned land. Always read the signs and keep yourself updated what is allowed in the area that you are located. However, you may not harvest living trees or remove any parts from them, including twigs, branches, bark (inner and outer), leaves, acorns, nuts and resin. This means you cannot cut down trees for firewood or to build a shelter.
Rubbish and remains from your visit
Our civilisation produces a great quantities of rubbish and this is true even when we are out hiking. Arriving at a place of natural beauty, only to find that others have literally trashed the view by littering, is upsetting to say the least. Please keep this in mind as you travel through the countryside. Do not litter - always carry your rubbish out with you until you can dispose of it appropriately. Not only will you preserve and protect the experience of others, you will also help to keep wildlife safe from injury. Our campsites are usually equipped with rubbish bins.
Hiking with canine companions
Dogs are wonderful companions when you are out walking. But remember that those you share the trail with may be frightened by dogs running loose. Dogs can also inflict a lot of stress on wildlife and grazing animals. Please exercise consideration and keep your dog on a leash. In nature reserves and national parks, keeping your dog on a leash is mandatory. Between March 1 and August 20, all dogs must be on a leash at all times and in all parts of Sweden. This is to protect wild creatures when they are most vulnerable, i.e. during the birthing or hatching season.
Hiking in groups
Hiking the Skåneleden Trail is a fantastic experience. It’s only natural to want to share the experience with family and friends. Remember that The Right of Public Access allows for individuals to move freely across privately-owned land. If you are travelling in a group, it is extra important to be considerate. Camping in larger groups always requires the landowner’s permission. Keep noise levels low so that future hikers will be as welcome as you are.
The Golden Rule
Imagine that you live in Skåne and you own a piece of land. You feel a strong sense of pride in Skåne’s beautiful countryside and you want as many people as possible to enjoy it. That’s why you give your permission to the municipality to allow the Skåneleden Trail to pass through your lands. But one day you find garbage in your meadow. Someone has also knocked down the markers in several places and failed to close the gate that keeps your sheep and cattle safely enclosed. It’s a real disappointment. And you regret your generosity. To offer an attractive trail, we must leave the countryside we pass through in the same good condition in which we found it. Do not disturb - do not destroy.
Cycling and riding horses along the trail
After many days of hiking, your feet might be feeling a bit tender and your senses may be longing for change. Perhaps you’d like to test cycling or horseback riding in the countryside. The Skåneleden Trail is a hiking trail and landowners have agreed that their lands can be used for the purpose of hiking. Thus we do not recommend cycling or riding horses on the Skåneleden Trail. We refer you instead to trails designed especially for cycling and riding horses. Off-road driving of any type of motorised vehicle is always prohibited. | <urn:uuid:d0c907f3-c781-48c2-8985-2967d78581c2> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://skaneleden.hoodin.com:443/en/item/allemansratten/gjy5gxkjmhoea7owkaq3zjjz4lhhkl7q | 2024-02-28T06:15:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.948757 | 1,320 |

Sail and Bike Tour 8-day Tulips of Holland from Amsterdam - Zaanse (LfF)
Enjoy Holland in the springtime in an unforgettable way, exploring enchanting Dutch landscapes by wheels and water during our Tulip Sail and Bike tour. Smell the tulips when cycling through the countryside, feel freedom in the breeze while sailing across the Wadden Sea and Lake IJsselmeer, and enjoy comfort and camaraderie on the beautiful sailing.
During this fascinating Sail and Bike trip, you will discover the best tulip areas that the Netherlands has to offer. Not only will you visit the famous Keukenhof gardens, known for its hundreds of thousands of blooming tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, and other bulb flowers. You will also bike through less famous, but equally gorgeous areas where tulips bloom in the spring months. A visit to the Hortus Bulborum is also on the program, giving you the chance to ramble through this unique garden museum, dedicated to the preservation of rare and historic bulbs.
But it is not only about tulips; during your week-long Sail and Bike tour, you will spend plenty of time in the historical cities of Haarlem and Alkmaar gems hidden from mass tourism. You will discover typical Dutch cultural highlights and cycle through pleasant, flat polders, the result of centuries of extensive land reclamation from the North Sea and the former Southern Sea (now IJsselmeer). The region you will cycle through has undergone such extensive impoldering, that you will soon realize the truth behind the proverb, “God created the earth, but the Dutch made Holland”.
Given the Dutch love for cycling, the region is crisscrossed with many quiet cycle tracks that stretch from one end of the region to the other. You will be amazed by the beauty and expanse of the North Sea beaches, the extremely bicycle-friendly island of Texel, the splendid flat landscapes, small dreamlike farm villages, and romantic, picturesque harbour towns. And all of this completed with the occasional fields full of beautiful flowers. Lend a hand or relax onboard During the second part of the tour you will sail across the large lake IJsselmeer to Enkhuizen and Hoorn. If you like you may be instructed by the experienced crew to lend a hand during navigating and hoisting the sails. Sailing experience is not necessary. Of course you are also very welcome to just relax and enjoy the sailing and scenery.
The imposing three-masted barquentine, made its maiden voyage in the spring of 2018. The interior of this recently restyled ship can best be described as refined. There are 10 well-equipped twin cabins, 1 smaller twin cabin and 1 junior-suite with two separate beds and 1 single cabin. In some of the twins a third (bunk) bed can be added, which makes it perfect for a family. Sumptuous meals are served in the restaurant and the ship’s bar is fully stocked; so the salon is the place to be after a day on the pedals. Or on deck, where you can burn some extra calories by helping to hoist the sails.

Sailors took wheels of Edam on their voyages – the cheese doesn’t spoil easily and could be traded for spices and other riches of the East.

Chapter 18 THE RESERVE
At the end of the year as planned, June, Betty and I went to Liverpool by train and from there carried our heavy packs to the highway and began to hitchhike to Melbourne taking several days, and then to the wharf to catch the boat to Tasmania. We got various lifts to Derwent Bridge in the centre of Tasmania and walked to the camp ground at Lake St Clair. While waiting for the others we did some washing, relaxed and got our bearings. Soon Brian and Bev arrived and that night we all piled into one of the primitive huts near the lake.
"I'll eat as much as I can tonight, that will be less to carry tomorrow," I thought, making custard with powdered milk, custard powder and a little sugar, to follow my dried vegetables.
Inside a sleeping bag the five bodies became rather genderless. I knew that nothing improper would happen. Home and domestic matters seemed so remote that their importance diminished. But I did wonder how Mum was? What would she think about us sharing a hut with a boy? Had she accepted my assurances that there was NO romance on bushwalking trips? Members did not wander away in pairs. It was kept outside the club events. The interests of the group had priority and we got to know each other better. Living was here and now and we would not jeopardise our futures. Mum had of course warned me not to dress provocatively or put myself in a vulnerable or compromising position, at first saying that older men were probably not a major problem, then retracting that to say some older men have less self control. To me it was no longer an issue. I was no longer in a position of feeling powerless. And I was not restricted by a moral point of view, only my own common sense.
The next morning Brian set out to the post office and came back after we had "brunched", to say that the rest of the party including John and Russ, our leader, had arrived and were camped nearby. Having written home brief accounts of ourselves and also made up parcels of various "extras" (including our frocks and sandals brought to get dressed on the "Taroona" but rejected as not warm enough), we sent the latter "poste restante" to Hobart. Paper and string were pretty scarce in our gear and the post master looked queerly at the assortment of wrapping and tying materials we had found. This longer trip was a lesson in what is REALLY essential.
Cradle Mountain and Dove Lake, Tasmania, Dec 1955

Feeling energetic John, Brian, Malcolm and I climbed Mt Rufus, following a track that began just behind the Ranger's place. It was quite a climb, reaching about 4800 feet and we were well rewarded with a grand view in all directions. The Ranger had told us that over 400 peaks mainly dolerite, can be picked out from this point and that one can see 70 miles on a clear day including Mt Olympus, Mt Ida, Mt Ossa and the Acropolis, named by the surveyor with an interest in Greek culture who discovered the area in 1835. We were particularly interested in picking out Frenchman's Cap, a later destination for our group. There were numerous lakes of varying sizes in the valleys so different from typical NSW scenery. Also different from what I had learnt at school about glacial valleys. These were much more ancient, thousands of times as old.
"Look there's some snow," I cried and began to rush down to the small drift not far below.
"Hey wait a minute," demanded the photographers who wanted me, as the only non-photographer, to be the model, sitting and gazing at the dolerite peaks, eroded rugged mountains, the glacial lakes and the barren wastes, until they were satisfied that they had suitable pictorial records of the climb. Then we were racing down to the little patch of clean crisp granular snow which had remained there in all weathers when all around had melted. I know it was not proper snow, but it was white and wet and the boys had fun getting me thoroughly sopping and freezing, especially the seat of my shorts and the back of my neck. Needless to say we all enjoyed my first glimpse of snow.
We went across the lake by launch and set out to see the beauties of the Lake St Clair-Cradle Mountain Scenic Reserve. The Reserve was declared in 1922, the lake named by the discoverer after a family from Loch Lomond, Scotland. We had about eight miles to walk to Pine Valley Hut, over a creek on a swaying wooden bridge, over swampy plains covered with button grass and cushion plants. The button grass grows in large tussocks on marshy plains at a high altitude, and when the plant flowers, small "buttons" appear at the end of upstanding slender stalks. The plants grow very close together for mile after mile and are not easy to walk through. At first we tried to hop from clump to clump, then we gave up and just ploughed through. The cushion plants grow about a foot high and up to a yard across. Often several kinds are mingled in a big "cushion" with a mosaic effect. Sometimes a "cushion" is quite hard and firm to step on; in a swampy place you may go in to your ankles. If you are really unlucky, you may leave a shoe behind.
Pine Valley Hut had six bunks and a couch. Each bunk held two quite comfortably, three when the hut was crowded. Betty slept between June and me in an effort to keep warm. We found that a tent peg could be slipped between the boards to prod the person above if he talked too much. We decided in future to claim bottom bunks. There was also a fireplace, a board table with benches and a large box for firewood and an axe. Other walkers in a hut added to the confusion with cooking on the open fire, but also to the manpower for collecting wood, the volume of singing and the variety of songs also the means of spreading germs. One walker seemed to have flu.
Next day we climbed to the foot of the Acropolis and saw a waterfall where the sunlight came creeping down through the trees and made the wet leaves and the spray shimmer. At the end of our route we sat on a rock to admire the cliffs of the Acropolis before us, Mt Gould stretching away to the left and Du Cane Gap (tomorrow's walk) on the right. All around us we noticed curiously tinted trees. They were obviously bent by a strong and constant wind for they all leaned in one direction, the windward side being coloured various shades of grey, the other being a number of russet hues.
Because of the crowded manner in which the trees grew, the branches of the evergreen beeches or "myrtle" trees (Nothofagus cunninghamii) were intertwined and most of the sun was blocked out. The leaves were small and stiff and waxy, the foliage had a feathery appearance.
All the branches and rugged knobbly boles were yellow and green with mosses and silvery with lichens. A large orange fungus was parasitic. The ground was carpeted with small roundish fallen leaves and strewn with rotten mossy logs. This was as eerie as a scene from Walt Disney. It was the creepy setting for elfin mischief, for trees to stretch out their green fingers and catch your clothes, for the ground to open up and swallow you. At that moment we knew why we had come. This was magic. We pushed on, having escaped from the enchanted forest into the sunshine by a creek, we saw a group of Scouts from the ship. We greeted each other like long-lost friends.
Pelion Chalet was rather newer, less rustic for our night's accommodation. Three young men were in possession but soon moved over.
Next day while we were having lunch, I didn't feel too well but I wanted to go with the rest of the party on a side trip up Mt Ossa. It would be utterly miserable to be left in the hut all day, so in spite of what everyone thought and in spite of being called a "silly cow", I would go.

We trailed along the two miles up hill and down dale until we arrived at the turnoff to Mt Ossa, at least where the turnoff would be if a track had existed. Three packs had been left at the junction, by walkers who were heading for Ossa before continuing to the next hut.
Climbing Mt Ossa, we were following our noses around the side of a hill and then came to a saddle. To our left stretched the bleakest country imaginable, a desolate valley where trees were all dead and stark white, having grown to a fair height during a succession of comparatively mild winters, only to be killed eventually by the snow and cold.
"Look down there," said the leader, consulting his map. "That's the track we came on yesterday. You can see the spot where we met the man walking in bare feet."
Ahead stood Mt Ossa, a mass of tumbled rocks from its base to its summit. In places the mountain had crumbled away in landslides of rock, leaving the peak bare and unique in shape. As we stood there considering which way we should climb up, we heard a voice giving us directions to put us on a track which disappeared before long. The voice then told us "Climb straight up." Simply said!
Hand over hand for a good bit of the way, we slowly increased our altitude towards the group of rocks which towered above us. The owner of the voice was nowhere to be seen but the instructions still came. Betty was leading and a male voice was saying "Go round that rock to the left", when - whoosh. She copped a snowball fair on her neck. Then one hit me, nearly knocking me backwards as I quickly sought the protection of a rock. The other victims who had walked into the neat ambush came in for their share until the hastily gathered pile of ammunition of our attackers was exhausted. Bravely then, we sallied forth to meet the foe - three boys we had met the previous night in Pelion Chalet.
Having exchanged insults with them, not omitting to pitch a few snowballs ourselves, we pushed on, up a sort of chimney and discovered the rest of Ossa still towering above us. Snow lay in little pockets all over the place. It was now Betty's turn to be thrilled, as she had not been on Rufus. Up and up and up to a miniature plateau of great boulders stretching before us under the cold sky - Mt Ossa 5230 feet.
It was good to find a quiet rock on the edge, to get comfortable and then to look and wonder at the panorama of peaks and valleys, to be able to see from one spot, half of Tasmania. At this moment I was alone, nobody else existed. Each of us spellbound, sat in isolation.
When Ossa was made, its builder gathered handfuls of mighty rocks and piled them on top of one another in a tumbled untidy heap. Among these rocks he left at least one gap which formed a big cave, with one opening on top of the mountain and one in its side. Inside the cave it was so cold the water froze like icy wallpaper.
The three boys had told us "We nearly broke our necks getting a tin on top of a big rock - the highest point in Tasmania."
Brian tried in vain to get the tin down so that he could leave his own contribution to posterity. We climbed up another rock to have our photos taken sitting on top of Tasmania. It was I who came near to getting a broken neck. I slipped down between two rocks and got stuck by my hips. If I'd been facing side on I'd have fallen a jolly long way, but as it happened got off with grazed thighs and a jarred wrist.
We lunched by a field of snow, about half an acre, which we left in a much bigger mess than we found it. The time for silent contemplation had passed. After all the usual fun in the snow, photos and admiring of the scenery, we set out again for Pelion Chalet. Trying to be a bit smart and take a short cut, we landed ourselves above a cliff and our "short cut" became a long walk round, through prickles and swamps. Malcolm and Betty chased each other nearly all the way to the chalet and Harry cheered up the rest of the plodding party by singing us items from "Show Boat" and "Oklahoma". Good old Harry with his most encouraging "Come on old Sticko".
On Wednesday we left Pelion Chalet to walk to Windermere Hut. Malcolm's boots had now got baked in front of the fire in an effort to dry them and so his feet began to trouble him. He was remedying injuries to his feet with sticky plaster. Our food rations had all been cut down to a minimum, apart from June who still had chocolate as part of her daily fare. I dined mainly on rice, dried veges, macaroni and porridge and Bev ate a lot of borrowed victuals. Brian was now the only member of the party who had more energy than he knew what to do with. Although we had eaten most of our food our loads didn't seem to get any lighter.
At first the scenery was quite attractive as we descended into the rain forest, and then climbed up again. After lunch I set out early so that I wouldn't have to rush over the endless miles of "button-grass, mud and slop". In the distance these button-grass plains looked very attractive, but they were difficult to walk through, and the mud which lay along the track was even worse. It took me all my energy and determination to keep on plodding, putting one foot in front of the other.
The flu, a gift from a walker in Pine Valley Hut, had caught up with me. Malcolm and Brian carried my load for the last couple of miles.
"Your pack will balance mine," said Malcolm as he hoisted it up on front and waddled off down the hill.
"The only snag," he said later "I couldn't see my feet."
The track leaves the forest and crosses swamp. Then began the great climb up to Cradle Mountain. Just up and up and up and along a ridge and there you are on the side of Tasmania's most noted mountainside for a long way and eventually about TEN miles from Windermere you arrive at Kitchen Hut, to have lunch, a long rest and to shelter from the rain.

Cradle Mountain was 400 yards away but might have been 400 miles. On a fine day half of Tasmania can be seen, on a day like this absolutely nothing. A storm broke in earnest. Diary: Walked out into the teeth of wind and stinging rain. Snow poles. Visibility greater as we approached Waldheim. Rain and climb up Cradle Mountain began at the same time. Barn Cirque, Cradle Cirque, steep drop, granite outcrops.
Then on to Waldheim Hut through the driving rain, fighting our way through the storm - five miles up hill and down dale over rough stony tracks and more button grass, every corner bringing new and stronger winds to drive us off the track and make our ground sheets flap - until with relief we were at Waldheim and could take shelter from the furious elements. Another party was to arrive by bus about 8.30 so we bought some provisions from the Ranger and had a beno feast. When the bus came we piled in and curled up.
At the inexpensive hotel in Sheffield a good wash and a good breakfast were much appreciated. We kept asking for another plate of toast and some more coffee all round, and could we have some more toast please and a little jam? Letters home were the next priority. Two members said good-bye to us at Sheffield as they had to go home, not being students.
From Burnie next day the funniest old train you can imagine took us to Zeehan passing through farming lands, crossing rivers, waving to even smaller mountain "puffing billy" trains. Five hours later we reached Zeehan which could boast little more than a shop or two and a hotel. From there to the mining town of Queenstown by bus. As the bus was crowded the boys had a long ride sitting on boxes in the aisle.
Queenstown, situated at the foot of Mt Lyell where the open cut copper mine could be found; the hundred bare white hills all round had taken on a thousand different hues. The sulphur fumes from the copper works long ago killed every scrap of vegetation for many miles, and erosion removed the soil with a stark, dramatic result.
Then the open road to Frenchman's Cap. There were now only six of us left. We paired off for hitchhiking. The road wound in a nerve-testing manner round the bare mountainsides as it headed toward Hobart, leaving behind some of the strangest yet grandest sights I had ever seen. We all arrived together at Gormanston a little place with little to recommend it. A truck picked up four of us who would sit in the back. The driver said that his mate was following, so John decided that he and I should wait. But the mate passed and did not pick us up and we had a long tiresome wait for a lift. A few things passed us including a police car and a breakdown truck, for there had been an accident a bit further on. When eventually we were moving again in a tourist bus, we passed the above-mentioned mate's truck overturned on the roadside!
Crossing the Franklin River by the flying fox was fun at first but quite hard work before we finally pulled ourselves to the other bank. Two of us with packs crossed at a time on the swaying seat that was suspended on cables above the swift dangerous waters. The last part was hardest and our hands were sore before we arrived. We had crossed some swamps, walked about four miles and had just begun to climb up a hill using a watercourse for a path, when June started to crack up. Harry carried her pack for a little way, but she decided to turn back. We could not let her go alone so she and I left the rest of the party. I swapped sleeping bags with Betty and took some gear which she knew she wouldn't need. The weather was pretty damp and Malcolm patted my wet head as we said cheerio and the party split up again. John carried Harry's pack as well as his own, and Harry saw us back to the flying fox by which we had to cross the river and helped us over. Four braves now headed for Frenchman's Cap.
June and I hitchhiked back to Queenstown, having arranged to meet Betty in Hobart in three days time.
We saw over the copper works that evening with the crowd of regular tourists for whom inspections were arranged every evening. We slept the night in the recreation ground hall, having obtained permission from the Council Chambers and the key from the Caretaker who lived next door.
Travelling to the port by the Mt Lyell Co's famous Abt cog railway was a great experience. The little train had only one ancient passenger carriage and a number of trucks which took the copper and other products of the copper works to be shipped from Regatta Point. It was quite exciting to be travelling up the steepest railway in the world even if the speed is that of a snail (the grade was one in twenty and the climb was 700 feet in less than three miles). The third rail was laid in the centre with toothed spaces for the cog wheel on the engine. The children going on a Sunday School picnic were excited but no more than I as we crossed the long quarter-mile trestle bridge, or as we twisted and turned up the side of a mighty gorge with the river far below.
I found out that the rack-and-pinion was designed by Dr Abt a German inventor, and can climb grades more than twice the normal.
We arrived back at the oval to begin cooking. The caretaker suggested that we use the hot water jug and radiator. He also gave us the extra comfort of the first-aid room for the night. He was very pleased to learn that we belonged to the Kameruka Club because eight members of our club spent a week in the same hall a year ago, leaving behind a very good impression. He invited us into his home for the evening to meet his family and to listen to records before a cosy log fire in the lounge room. He played a record of his niece singing in "The Student Prince" (Sigmund Romberg) which had greatly moved me when I had first seen the stage show. The Prince fell in love with someone he could not marry and put his duty first. A memorable evening of Tasmanian hospitality.
As planned we met our friends in Hobart. June, Betty and I went by bus to Port Arthur, not then a fully developed tourist resort, and on the way back bought some little local lobsters, a bottle of apple cider, fresh bread and butter and treated ourselves to a feast on the waterfront of Hobart in the long twilight. Everything had a relaxed air, the capital having a population of 100,000, the whole island only 308,000. We collected our poste restante parcels from the Post Office. We looked at maps of the Huon Valley, planning to see something of the south-east. Feeling no urgency to return to Sydney, I thought I would try to get a job fruit picking. | <urn:uuid:29c05cc8-4a49-4d0f-995c-b8a5ae8e104b> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://smythe.id.au/kinny/spottydotty/ch18.html | 2024-02-28T06:54:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.984998 | 4,552 |

A group led by Bill McGuire landed an MLS expansion franchise conditional on a new Minneapolis-St. Paul stadium. The group’s preferred site in Minneapolis, near Target Field on the northwest edge of downtown, would house a privately financed, 18,500-seat stadium. However, the Minnesota Legislature adjourned last month without passage of tax breaks for the new facility (including a waiver of sales taxes on materials and a property-tax exemption), and the city of Minneapolis has taken no action on the facility, either. In fact, a city study group formed to address the issue of tax breaks hasn’t even met, even though the stadium proposal came last year. And with a July 1 deadline coming and going, league officials want to see if there’s another route to a new stadium. From the Star Tribune:
“We did decide that it would be appropriate for me to come to Minnesota [to] learn more about the opportunity in St. Paul,” Abbott said on 1500-AM ESPN, ”so that we can make a fully informed decision as to whether we should continue to consider Minnesota as a potential expansion market.”…
“We probably could have worked harder to get to some resolution that was before the deadline,” said Blong Yang, a Minneapolis City Council member whose ward includes the stadium site. “We’re still very interested in getting MLS into Minneapolis, and it’s a slow haul.
He added that he believed the property tax exemption issue is fairly easy to overcome. “In the grand scheme of things, their ‘ask’ is very small, I think,” Yang said.
St. Paul officials have expressed interest in a soccer stadium on one of two sites. The first is a parcel at Snelling Avenue and I-94 in the city’s Midway area, a former bus storage yard that has the advantage of already being controlled by government. The second is near the State Capitol on a parcel currently hosting a Sears store. One big issue for the soccer investors is creating development apart from the soccer stadium, and it’s hard to say whether either site could do so: while both feature easy freeway and light-rail access, neither is really an up-and-coming area the way the Minneapolis site is.
Of course, talking with St. Paul officials could just be posturing in order to prompt some movement from Minneapolis officials. It’s a time-honored tradition for both cities to compete for sports facilities, going back as far as the late 1950s. Considering what’s being pitched for Minneapolis is a private investment of up to $150 million (and more, potentially, with ancillary investment) on a new stadium in an area of town featuring low-slung, old cinder-block warehouses, a nudge certainly isn’t out of line.

With changes in the ownership suite and a new home, Charlotte Independence management is looking at a self-delegation from USL Championship to USL League One.
This has certainly been a year of change for the Independence, which has played at a variety of venues before moving this season to the revamped $40.5 million American Legion Memorial Stadium (shown above). That’s a significant upgrade to be in a facility designed for soccer. But that’s only part of the change: Dan DiMicco is selling his majority stake in the USL Championship team after a public uproar and objections by a supporter group over comments he made in the wake of the George Floyd killing in Minneapolis, as well as blaming Antifa and George Soros for societal ills. In the face of those objections, he chose to sell his stake in the team.
And the Independence faces an existential threat with the arrival of a Charlotte MLS team owned by Carolina Panthers (NFL) owner David Tepper. It’s hard for a USL Championship team to compete with an MLS team in the same market, unless both teams operate under joint ownership.
So one option for co-owner Jim McPhillamy is to sell the USL Championship slot and move down to USL League One, or to move the USL Championship team out of Charlotte completely. But that also creates some situations; yes, the League One team is cheaper and has a lower operating cost, but given the uncertainly with that league and some MLS-owned teams leaving it and other sure to follow, it’s impossible to say what the circuit will look like in future years. Right now three of the 12 USL League One teams are owned by MLS teams, and their potential departure for a new MLS Division III league has to be on everyone’s radar. North Carolina FC moved down to USL League One this season; don’t be surprised if some other USL Championship teams do the same thing.
So there’s plenty for McPhillamy and his new owners to consider in coming months. From the Charlotte Post:
Nearly seven years since the announcement of the club in Uptown, McPhilliamy is not throwing the towel in on the club he founded. Selling the USL Championship rights and then purchasing rights to a League One club or self-relegating to League One are also options. McPhilliamy said they have been in discussions with multiple cities.
“I still stand by, one way or another, we’ll still have the Charlotte Independence in town,” he said. “I just don’t know if that will be Charlotte Independence [in USL] Championship or Charlotte Independence [in USL] League One.”…
“I just don’t know that a USL championship team and an MLS team complement each other in the market,” he said. “MLS is the bigger ship. We do have a good working relationship with those guys right now. I think the value of my asset is worth more in a city that doesn’t have MLS.”

So, do market research, identify your target audience, and plan an effective marketing strategy for your Instagram brand.
Also, the following questions may come in handy while clarifying your goals:
- What products and services should I offer?

- How often should I post on Instagram to get the most impressions?
Take your time to answer these questions and plan to build a brand on Instagram.
2. Create a Captivating Instagram Brand Profile
To build a brand on Instagram, you need first to create an Instagram profile. Using the goals you have defined in the previous step, choose a catchy brand name, set up your Instagram username, and create a logo. There are many different brand name generators available online, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Some generators are better at generating creative and unique names, while others are better at generating names that are relevant to your industry or niche. It’s important to do your research and find a brand name generator that meets your needs. To get more followers naturally, it’s better to set your brand name as your Instagram username. Also, set your logo as your Instagram profile image to make your brand bolder and easier to find. You can then use Instagram followers apps to grow your followers organically.
3. Switch to an Instagram Business Account
In the past few years, Instagram added a new feature for managing a business on Instagram. This feature is called ‘Instagram business account’. Having an Instagram business account increases your brand visibility, derives more attractions to your account, and makes it easier for you to appear on the Instagram explore page.
Using business accounts, you can directly promote your posts on other social channels like Facebook. Additionally, you’ll have access to Instagram insights, a professional analytics tool, enabling you to analyze your performance and improve your strategies if necessary.
So, if you are wondering how to build a brand on Instagram that prospers instantly, switch to a business account and let Instagram help you grow up out there.
4. Attract More Targeted Followers

5. Stick With One Branded Theme

Having a special layout for Instagram posts, using specific background colors, and following a particular theme, after some time, your followers recognize your posts even without looking at your username. This means they can easily recall you, and hence, it’d be easier for them to engage your posts.
Here’s a good example by @lushcosmetics:
Be creative, design a captivating theme, and get more engagements.
6. Create Branded Instagram Hashtags

9. Be Active
You’ll need a community for building a brand on Instagram. Being active is the only way to achieve this.

5 Rockbands That Were All Around Good Guys

These legendary rock groups enjoyed massive success and as their way of thanking fans, they gave back and continue to do so even in the midst of the pandemic.
One of the most charitable bands in the world, Metallica has done some questionable things in their career – we still don’t know how to feel about their 2011 “Lulu” album with Lou Reed. But one things for sure, they like to shower people with their generosity. In 2017, they founded their own charity organization called “All Within My Hands.” Some of their donations include $100,000 to the California wildfire relief, $1 million dollar to US community colleges, and even during their tours, they donate to local charities. In their 2019 European trek alone, they’ve given $1.6 million and during the COVID-19 crisis last year, they donated $350,000 to various non-profit organizations.
Throughout the course of their career, Aerosmith has supported several charity organizations all over the globe like Global Angels, Lili Claire Foundation, Robin Hood, Sweet Relief Musicians Fund, and many more. There’s also frontman Steven Tyler’s own philanthropic campaign called Janie’s Fund which helps in the healing of female victims who suffered from abuse and neglect.
Named after their classic hit “Janie’s Got A Gun”, Tyler said: “An entire community was built around this song’s message. Over the years, I’ve been overwhelmed by the thousands of fans who have sent me letters, telling me their stories and how ‘Janie’s Got A Gun’ affected and inspired them.”
The band is actively involved with various organizations and they’re known for their charity works as much as their music. Frontman Bono founded ONE Campaign and RED, and supported Amnesty International. They’ve also participated in numerous concerts and benefit shows to raise funds for organizations.
Jon Bon Jovi’s been helping others for years. He founded his Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation and opened a chain of restaurants to help feed the poor called Soul Kitchen. He was busy during the pandemic because if he wasn’t participating in benefit shows and working on his music, he washed the dishes in his Soul Kitchen.
Proceeds from “Last Kiss” went to the refugees of the Kosovo War. In 2018, they donated $10.8 million to fight homelessness and they also founded their Vitalogy Foundation which focuses on environment, homelessness, and indigenous causes. | <urn:uuid:04e3c737-5032-4db9-b0d2-942f3a35230e> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://societyofrock.com/5-rockbands-that-were-all-around-good-guys/ | 2024-02-28T06:08:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.972126 | 550 |

By the sounds of it, you would fail my interview technique as well. At interview I expect candidates to write code on the whiteboard. It might seem tough, but it allows candidates to show that they do know the language, and are not relying on intelsense and google to program. Lets face it, if you are claiming on your CV to have 3.5 years of PHP experience, then at interview I want to see some evidence of your experience.
I also use the process to identify people that think logically about their designs, write code that actually implements their design, and when faced with a new constraint understand how it affects their design, and what they need to adjust to accommodate this new information.
Whilst lots of companies do use the 20 question interview method, this method is a poor differentiator in identifying who the best programmers are, and good at identifying who has been reading a lot of books recently. If you are constantly facing this interview technique, start reading. You should want a 95-100% good answer rate on these questions to get offered the job, however it will not make you a better programmer on its own.
The major problem with "programming by google" is that whilst you may deliver code that works, but its quite possible that you have no understanding of it increasing the risk of subtle bugs and undesirable consequences. It will certainly take longer to write the code and your source code will have the same consistency as the internet making it much harder for your replacement to support your code in the future.
Whilst I'm sure that my answer is not the warm fuzzy reassurance that you may have wanted, hopefully it will help you to understand what you need to do differently to gain the knowledge and experience, or perhaps, may help you to understand why a career in a different sector may be a better choice for you. good luck for the future. | <urn:uuid:859cf891-f400-4450-9456-5c568d47883b> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/21412/why-im-not-selected-in-an-interview/21415 | 2024-02-28T05:11:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.974534 | 380 |
Stack Exchange network consists of 183 Q&A communities including Stack Overflow, the largest, most trusted online community for developers to learn, share their knowledge, and build their careers.
Q&A for work
Connect and share knowledge within a single location that is structured and easy to search.
“In silico” is an expression meaning “performed on computer”, which, in my humble opinion, is quite appropriate for a computer programming Q&A site.
I can program in C++. I cannot program in “C with classes.”
