Based on the chart-topping Business Wars podcast, stories and lessons from history’s greatest business rivalries. Using Chinese military genius Sun Tzu’s strategies as a guide, Brown examines why some companies triumph while others crumble.
Business is a fight for survival. In business as in war, leaders match their wills in pursuit of opposing outcomes, they devise strategies, and marshal resources for victory. Success can turn on the smallest of details, a single tactical blunder can topple an empire. Ultimately, one side triumphs—and victory is all that matters. David Brown, host of the hit podcast Business Wars, masterfully frames some of the biggest business rivalries in history using revered Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu’s insights and pragmatic advice. Each rivalry he examines tells a story of combined wits, strategies, and resources. Brown chronicles the rise of companies as they vanquish rivals, formulate innovative plans, and adapt to keep up with shifting societal needs. The goal? Stay ahead of the competition and emerge victorious as an industry titan. By compiling powerful insights uncovered over hundreds of episodes and more than a year of in-depth research, Brown has developed a formula for business intrigue that uses popular history as a hook to lure readers in. The stories in The Art of Business Wars are fascinating, but the lessons we draw from them—about determination, ingenuity, patience, grit, subtlety, and other traits that contribute to a victorious enterprise—are invaluable, whether you’re a software-slinging freelancer or the CEO of a multinational manufacturer. | <urn:uuid:0b6ef882-3798-4fb4-901a-36026efb402f> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://somanami.co.ke/product/the-art-of-business-wars-by-david-brown/ | 2024-02-28T07:10:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.89287 | 331 |
Will our reporter be able to polish off 1.4 kilograms (3 pounds) of grilled meat?
“Meat is justice,” is a phrase our Japanese-language reporter P.K. Sanjun loves to say whenever a craving for meat strikes him. And when those days came, he would casually saunter over to steakhouse franchise Ikinari Steak, where prime cuts of beef can be purchased at very reasonable prices.
Perhaps not having juicy slabs of meat in recent memory was to blame for P.K.’s latest trip to Ikinari, when a primal urge to satisfy his carnivorous streak saw him buying the biggest steak that 10,000 yen (US$91) could afford.
▼ What a grand story to tell the kids one day.
One of the chain’s biggest selling points is the fact that they allow customers to freely choose their cuts and how big they want their steaks to be. This was a dream come true for meat-craving P.K., whose stomach was already growling, just from looking at the menu.
▼ He settled on the rib roast steak, which cost a cheap 6.9 yen (US$0.063) per gram.
He had misgivings about being able to order roughly 1.4 kilograms (3 pounds) of steak without warning, as what he truly desired was not two or three separate servings, but one gigantic meat slab that dreams were made out of.
Yet when he approached the staff with his unusual request, they smoothly replied, “Please be aware that it will take some time.” Almost as if they were used to such bizarre orders! P.K. felt his mouth salivating as he witnessed the staff carving off a huge piece and weighing it in front of him.
▼ “Now that is what I call a steak,” he nodded approvingly.
Cooking it took about 20 minutes, enough time for him to wonder if he had made the correct choice. After all, it was more than three times the size of a 450-gram piece. But when the finished product finally arrived perfectly seared and all, P.K. was convinced the god of steaks must have guided him here for this very moment.
▼ Because it was humongous!
▼ Could he fit this…thing… into his stomach!?
▼ Death by steak might not be such a bad idea, when you think about it.
▼ Slicing deeply into the hunk of meat, P.K. noted that the insides were still quite rare.
While he loved rare steak as much as the next person, that amount of raw meat would simply be too much for him to handle. Good thing the waiters were more than willing to provide him with hot plates to cook his beef further.
▼ Few were the days when P.K. could look down and see his plate filled with juicy steak.
It was a battle of endurance, of man versus meat, and when he finally polished off the last tender piece of beef, hands tired from cutting and stomach to the point of bursting, roughly one hour had passed. He did leave out some of the fatty bits though.
▼ Our brave reporter was done with meat for now.
It might take weeks before P.K. can bring himself to look at beef again, but it was one trip he would never forget. And certainly one of the best meals one could buy with 10,000 yen. The only thing that would even come close to this was when he stuffed himself full of tasty mussels at an Italian restaurant.

Southern Security Honored as Outstanding Philanthropic Organization by the Association of Fundraising Professionals
12/20/2023 BankingThe Association of Fundraising Professionals Memphis Chapter honored Southern Security as the 2023 Crystal Award recipient in the category of Outstanding Philanthropic Organization. The award, presented at the Crystal Awards ceremony on National Philanthropy Day, recognizes a philanthropic corporation, foundation, or organization whose grant programs, gifts, and charitable activities enrich the community. The Outstanding Philanthropic Organization awardee is seen as a role model of philanthropic activity serving many segments of the community.
“We are honored and humbled to accept the 2023 Crystal Award for Outstanding Philanthropic Organization from the Association of Fundraising Professionals. Our heartfelt appreciation and congratulations extend to our entire team and partners, who collaboratively contribute to making a positive impact to our community through various forms of support, including monetary contributions, volunteerism, in-kind assistance, and intellectual contributions,” said Dawn Graeter, Southern Security CEO.
Southern Security supported at least twenty-two organizations that serve underserved populations in the Memphis area in 2023. Southern Security has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to nonprofits and community organizations over the past five years, countless volunteer hours, and an untold amount of financial knowledge, advice, and guidance to members and organizations of our community in an effort to make it a better place.
While Southern Security is humbled to contribute to the community through traditional philanthropy, the organization’s mission goes beyond charitable giving. It is centered on giving back, maintaining transparent and consistent communication about its financial products, and redistributing organizational financial profits to members through better rates, services, and financial education compared to other financial service providers.

Throwing a memorable party for adults is honestly an underrated art form. On top of decorating, building a party playlist and crafting a delicious and creative menu, there’s also the not-so-simple matter of choosing an epic theme for your celebration.
Wait a minute- did you think that theme parties were just for kids? Au contraire. With so many adults stuck in mind-numbing 9-5 jobs and bogged down by daily responsibilities, a little escapism is exactly what they’re looking for—and who better to give it to them but you, the party-planner extraordinaire?
To help you throw an epic bash, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite party theme ideas for adults. Try one of these themes on for size and get ready to host a memorable event that your friends won’t stop talking about.
1. Country Club Theme Party
Who doesn’t love the idea of sipping daiquiris on a private country club veranda, enjoying the gentle breeze after a long day of hitting the green on a luxury golf course? With a country club theme party, you can make guests feel like they’re part of an exclusive club, only without all the stuffy rules or exorbitant cost that comes with the real thing.
Country Club Theme Party Ideas for Adults:
Tie a sweater around your shoulders. A throwback style to the classic prepsters of the ’80s, the carefully-tied sweater look will fit right in at any country club theme party. For the guys, it’s commonly paired with a polo shirt or a casual button-down shirt and khaki shorts.
Wear preppy dresses. For the ladies, we recommend wearing preppy dresses in pastel colors, stripes, or a seersucker fabric. Another style option: A tennis skirt paired with a well-fitting women’s polo shirt and a white visor (tennis racket optional).
Play indoor golf. Invest in an indoor putting game and let everyone practice their golf skills. Pro Tip: If you’re throwing a birthday party for a golf enthusiast, you can let them keep the game as a gift.
2. Favorite Sports Team Party
Sports fans are always begging for an excuse to display their team spirit—especially during the off-season. By hosting a favorite team party, you can give everyone the chance to wear their favorite collegiate apparel and show off their best game day outfits in style.
With a sports theme party, you can go all out with your wardrobe. For the guys, you can’t go wrong with a team jersey and face paint. And if you want to be the star of all your friends’ Instagram posts, come to the party with a team flag draped over your shoulders (because you’re a champion, obviously).
For the ladies, consider dressing in an oversized jersey, belted at the waist, and retro athletic knee socks. Don’t forget to wear a sweatband and wristbands to signal to everyone that you mean serious business in the beer pong tourney.
Favorite Team Theme Party Ideas for Adults:
Set up a bar cart. Make your team party more spirited by stocking a bar cart with fun drinks. Consider serving your guests beverages with creative titles like a “hail mary” (bloody mary) or come up with your own unique drink and give it a fun, fitting name. Don’t forget the beer!
Pile on the game day meats. BBQ pork, slow cooker ribs, bacon-wrapped shrimp—if you’re a football fan, then you know the drill. Add in a 7-layer dip and chips for everyone to snack on while the grill master does his or her work!
Hold a best-dressed contest. Give guests the chance to go all out with their team spirit by holding a contest for the best-dressed fan. The winner gets a sports-related gift card of their choosing. Don’t be surprised to see some face paint or body paint if you go this route.
3. Lumberjack Party
Best for fall and winter seasons, a lumberjack theme is always a hit for adult parties. The guys will love this theme because it gives them the chance to finally live out their fantasy of dressing like a burly outdoorsman who’s ready to split some wood.
If you have a thing for plaid, rustic elements, and woodland creatures, a lumberjack theme party will be right up your alley.
Lumberjack Theme Party Ideas for Adults:
Embrace the plaid. Channel your inner lumberjack by dressing in a plaid button-down shirt. Pair it with dark wash jeans and a knit beanie for a stylish yet undeniably woodsy vibe. “Lumber Jills” can dress the part while still looking stylish by opting for a plaid shirt-dress or stylish quilted vest.
Evoke cozy fall vibes. If you’re hosting your party in the fall or winter, keep guests warm by providing fur-lined blankets, hot cider, and homemade chili. Bonus points if you add a bonfire to the mix.
Add woodsy elements. Use cut logs as décor and place lanterns around for the perfect rustic décor. Light a pine-scented candle or two to really evoke the feeling of being out in the woods.
4. Pajama Party
If you haven’t experienced a pajama party as an adult, you’re seriously missing out. Staying up late with friends, eating pizza, and watching scary movies—it’s like taking the best parts of your childhood and reliving them with all the adult perks - like wine.
Pajama Theme Party Ideas for Adults:
Splurge on a new set of PJs. First things first: Get yourself new pajamas so you don’t embarrass yourself by showing up in a ratty old t-shirt. Look, we know it’s comfortable, but it’s not a look you want others to remember you in, For the guys, we suggest a cozy pair of men’s lounge pants and a soft t-shirt. For the ladies, check out our women’s loungewear sets and grab something you won’t be afraid to get tagged in on Instagram later. .
Build a blanket fort. Do it, you know you want to. Throw up some white Christmas lights and build the most epic fort your kid-self could only ever dream about.
Indulge in sweet treats. Set up a candy station with all the most popular movie theater candies you can think of. And make sure there’s ice cream, lots of ice cream.
5. Luau Theme Party
“I don’t feel like going to a luau,” said no one in the history of ever. That’s because luau theme parties promise good food, good friends and, above all, an insanely good time.
So, why not bring the spirit of aloha to your party by throwing a luau for your guests? You can greet them with leis when they arrive at your home in true Hawaiian fashion.
Luau Theme Party Ideas for Adults:
Prepare an impressive feast. The word luau is Hawaiian for “feast,” so you better be ready to bring your A-game with the food. We’re talking kalua pork (you can skip the underground pig roast and use a slow cooker recipe instead), rice, poke and shave ice.
Party poolside. If you have a pool, you’ll definitely want to make it the venue for your luau. You can bring out the tiki torches and set the mood with garden lights and tropical décor. Other great additions include a ukelele, pineapples, and of course, leis.
Don aloha attire. Remember to tell your guests to come dressed in tropical attire and to bring their favorite swimwear. For the guys, that means a Hawaiian shirt (we suggest a men’s short sleeve button-down in a fun pattern that you can wear again), a pair of khaki shorts and a pair of men’s swim shorts. For the ladies, we recommend a colorful, printed dress that can double as a coverup for their bikini bathing suits.
Throwing a Party to Remember
Truthfully, the hardest part of throwing an epic party is coming up with a memorable theme. Once you’ve settled on a theme, figuring out all the other details becomes fairly simple.
If you want to choose a theme that will be loved by all, you can’t go wrong with these adult party themes. Don’t forget to start building hype for your celebration with themed invites.

I found it! The SPIF (Spacecraft Processing and Integration Facility) was used for the Shuttle program, and renamed to SPIF after the Challenger incident. Used to be the SMAB (Solid Motor Assembly Building).
The IUS (Intertial Upper Stage) were assembled there for Shuttle payloads.
The location is shown on this map:
The internal layout looks like:
The outside looks like this:
There are several bays, with room for 2 payloads to be processed, a third in the transfer aisle, and airlocks to get the payloads in and out, without contamintating anything.
On the last image, bottom left there are three doors side by side. Two are access ways to two bays, and the third is the airlock for incoming payloads.
SpaceX is leasing space in the SPIF, apparently as they need it (Used for Asiasat 8 and 6 launches, may be used for Dragons as well to make space in LC40 hangar and allow for two or more payload processing flows at once.
Here is a picture of a DSP being mounted on a IUS for a Shuttle launch:

The thrust of the Launch Escape System (LES) might look significant, but the total impulse is not (that is, they burn for such a short time, they can't actually impart much delta-V, especially not while the spacecraft is still attached to its mostly-fueled carrier rocket). The longer the LES remains attached to the spacecraft, the more impulse the carrier rocket wastes accelerating the mass of the LES toward orbital velocity.
Now, yes, there's probably an optimal point - perhaps after first stage separation, so the carrier rocket mass is lower - when firing the LES with it still attached to the spacecraft, and then jettisoning the LES (perhaps with the last of its thrust), would produce some benefit. However, this is probably less safe than just jettisoning it cleanly. The LES is an emergency system; it's as safe as it can be, of course, but its design mandates instant, powerful, and reliable operation; those values all trade off, to some extent, against safe operation. If the LES renders the spacecraft un-spaceworthy, that's acceptable for its intended use - that spacecraft is having a bad time and will not go to space today anyhow - but would obviously be unacceptable as part of the normal launch process.
For that matter, the interface between the spacecraft and upper stage of the carrier rocket might not be designed to tolerate tension at all (after all, in normal operation, it will only experience compression or free-fall), and the LES is, by its design, trying to accelerate the spacecraft more than the booster is accelerating it, so there will be tension[*] (in theory, any scenario that triggers the LES should also trigger MECO, but you can't assume the main engines are under control in that kind of scenario either, so the LES has to be able to pull the spacecraft away even under full burn of the booster).
Given those risks, it seems decidedly not worth trying to get a few extra m/s (when you factor in the mass of the carrier rocket) by firing the LES as part of a standard ascent process.
[*] As @TooTea points out, quite a lot of tension, actually. If the LES generates 14g of acceleration, while the carrier rocket is generating at most 4g, that's going to be a massive and abrupt 10g of tension shock hitting the payload interface. Definitely not something you want to have to account for in normal operation! Even if it's possible to do safely without impairing the LES in abort scenarios, any mass you add to that interface to beef it up for that comes directly out of your payload mass budget. All for a few hundred thousand (at best) lb*s of impulse, lost in the noise of what the carrier rockets provides. | <urn:uuid:1caad382-3512-4e7d-ac2e-c53a08dc48b1> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://space.stackexchange.com/questions/57862/why-are-unused-launch-abort-rockets-jettisoned-rather-than-used-to-augment-thrus | 2024-02-28T06:20:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.957814 | 580 |
HOW DO I MOVE DURING A PANDEMIC? REFRESHER TIPS TO KEEP YOUR BIG DAY SMOOTH AND SAFE
How do I move during a pandemic? The challenges of moving are rigorous and stressful at any time, let alone when you are attempting to make it happen while a second wave of COVID-19 surges on. Through the winter no less! However differently, the world keeps spinning, and while it may seem ideal to avoid a move altogether, that is simply not an option for all people. Whether renting or buying, sometimes the timing of a move is completely out of our control. With that said, it definitely does not need to be all anxiety and chaos. Most importantly, professional assistance with packing and moving is widely considered to be an essential service. Meaning, regardless of lockdown stages, you should be able to secure an expert team to hire for your relocation. Of course, do check with local guidelines to be sure. Additionally, now that we are almost 10 months into this adapted life, there are some definite tips and tricks that can help you feel more comfortable about planning a move under these circumstances. Read through the following checklist to properly prepare and confidently feel safe and secure while moving, at least for the foreseeable future!
While the Canadian Association of Movers assures all of its members are currently open for business, keep in mind that the likelihood your moving company of choice is now running with modified crew numbers, is high. In turn, this could mean that booking times are being blocked off for longer, and subsequently being filled faster. Scheduling your professionals as early as possible will almost never cause you, or your move, undue stress. This is certainly different than any other winter or ‘low’ season, when one of the strongest upsides to moving is generally that professional companies tend to have more flexible availability. If there is a specific day and time you are looking for, book now! Keeping your calendar organized is your first step to successfully moving during a pandemic.
Get And Stay Communicative With Your Movers Of Choice
Aside from the timetable, the most important thing to know about your professional moving team is how their ongoing/updated policies and procedures will affect how they provide your service. This is not the time to leave questions unasked or left until the last minute to cover. Get as much information upfront as you possibly can, and stay in touch with your team leader as your move approaches. Ask about a virtual walkthrough instead of an in-person one. Understand the expectations when it comes to social distancing, how many people will be in your home on the day, and PPE wearing (ie. masks, gloves, etc.). Discuss cancellation policy modifications if you, or anyone in your household, begin experiencing symptoms. Avoid assuming that having friends, or people not a part of your immediate household, are in the clear to provide additional help. Do everything in your power to ensure your hired team feels safe and comfortable, and be vocal about receiving that same courtesy in return. If at any point you feel like your concerns or inquiries are not being taken seriously, it might be time to look for new professionals! Moving in a pandemic means doing your diligence to stay informed.
Limit Your Pre-Move Shopping Trips
If there is a silver lining to planning a COVID-19 move, it is that it will probably force you to be hyper coordinated when it comes to your shopping lists. Try to avoid roughly guessing how many boxes and rolls of packing tape you will need, and get specific! You can ask for your professional mover’s opinion here during your virtual consult. This may also be the perfect time to allow yourself an extra indulgence and go ahead and book professional packing as well. Further, to the best of your ability, take care of all of the above well in advance of your actual moving day. Scrambling to pull together materials, when lockdowns of all shapes and sizes are sporadically popping up everywhere, could be a whole new kind of moving nightmare. When it comes to arming yourself to get your house and personal belongings ready; think like Santa Claus. Make a list and check it twice! A pandemic move might just be the most well planned out and executed event of your entire life.
Bump Up Cleaning Your New Space
For lack of a better description, under ‘normal’ circumstances, it can be counterintuitive to deep clean your new home before moving day. Typically on this day, there is a lot more foot traffic, indoor shoe wearing, and rearranging furniture than normal. This can all turn a clean house dirty very quickly. Meaning, if you were looking to invest in a professional clean, your money might be better spent after the fact. Alas, pandemic life is akin to a never ending opposite day; what worked before just isn’t the same! If your date of possession allows, get in there and scrub as soon as you can. Gift yourself peace of mind, knowing that every corner of your new place has been touched by bleach and love. This way, when you and your movers are in and out, there will be no chance of wondering what status your surfaces are in. Taking extra cleaning care will help your pandemic moving day go a little more smoothly; every little bit helps.
Stock Up On Extra Hygiene Products
A great idea to help make your movers feel welcome and comfortable is to have extra, easy to access hygiene products on hand for them to use when needed. This will almost certainly not be any kind of expectation, which makes providing it even more special! Depending on what you discussed and corresponding local guidelines, any professional service provider should show up with required PPE. A few additional bottles of hand sanitizers however, never hurt anybody. Thinking ahead and thinking of others, will help you survive moving during COVID-19.
With forethought, consideration, and a few deep breaths in between, and you will get through moving in a pandemic. Good luck! | <urn:uuid:0fc67813-2dc1-4210-bc7e-721e3441f072> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://spartamovers.com/how-do-i-move-during-a-pandemic-refresher-tips-to-keep-your-big-day-smooth-and-safe/ | 2024-02-28T05:54:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.958491 | 1,230 |
Semantic Web-Based E-Learning Framework for Information Retrieval
Speaker: Sanjay Misra – Lagos, NigeriaTopic(s): Software Engineering and Programming
The advent of the internet, the evolution of the World Wide Web (WWW), coupled with the e-learning paradigm, has resulted in the availability of a plethora of learning resources on the Web. However, these resources are not being fully utilized to their greatest potential. Learners, educators and researchers seeking educational content usually spend a great deal of time sorting through resources on the Web without satisfactory results. Most times, this is not because the information is not available, but because the techniques being applied by major search engines do not handle the semantics and personalizationrequired in this context. In a bid to proffer a solution to the problem of discovering relevant resources online by different categories of users, this work presents an integrated framework for personalized information retrieval of educational content. The framework exploits semantic web technologies. Further work will include the implementation and testing of the framework.About this Lecture

We launched the Shopify Analyzer beta version in February.
Here’s what we’ve been doing since then:
- Using it on a daily basis to analyze and optimize Shopify sites
- Gathering feedback from our team, users, and customers
- Dialing in the scoring system based on our data
- Planning more cool features 😎
Now it’s ready to rock full speed, officially version 1.0!
What is the Shopify Analyzer?
It’s a free web app that analyzes Shopify sites, scores performance based on key optimization areas, and gives recommendations to make your site faster.
If you haven’t used it yet, click here to analyze your Shopify site.
Why we built it
There are some good analysis tools out there, but none are geared specifically for Shopify sites.
We also see a lot of people mistakenly think Google PageSpeed score is correlated to actual performance, and get frustrated when they don’t score well (side note: nobody scores well).
Google PSI is good to get ideas, but the scoring system is buggy (here’s a case study where score decreased after making a site faster, this happens frequently).
You might also see performance tools recommend things you can’t change, like “leverage browser caching on 3rd party apps”. You don’t have access to those apps, and it also might not be the best move anyway.
The Shopify Analyzer targets the key optimization points you can change, and gives you the information to improve your performance.
We’ll continue updating the app, adding features, and making it better.
We use it as part of our workflow, but also want to make it easier for you to use.
The goal is to make it super easy to use and provide valuable insights to improve your site’s performance.
If you have any feature requests or feedback, drop a comment below or give us a shout. | <urn:uuid:418ac95b-b36a-44ff-b961-1f0058435bee> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://speedboostr.com/shopify-analyzer-version-1/ | 2024-02-28T06:02:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.912677 | 417 |
How to get a loan with bad credit score? What does this grading system mean, in general? More importantly, how it affects your borrowings when you want the cash?
Quite often, people need just a minor lend of 500 or 1000 dollars, but even for this, they have to consult a loan company. According to the latest survey, over 50% of the American population has approximately 500 USD in savings, which is not that much. Still, the expenses pop up — and, unfortunately, those are often urgent expenses, so you cannot always sit back and way for your next paycheck.
It seems that getting a small loan should not be that difficult, but usually — it is. Aside from having few savings in their bank accounts, most Americans have bad credit histories, which means that even an insignificant credit would lead to high interests, and — more than often— rigid deadlines.
We, however, do not think that ‘small loan bad credit’ scenario is hopeless. With us, getting a loan with bad credit in TX score is simple and not overly pricey. You can get in touch with our team when you need quick cash, big or small, but first — let’s find out more info about credits and their interests. Having a better idea of how money lending works should help you apply for a loan with bad credit score. Now, let’s see what this score-mark truly is and how it affects you.
Alpine bad credit loan: a simple explanation
When an applicant has a stable income, savings, and positive history, borrowing more money from the bank is never a problem. If however, a borrower seems unreliable, getting even a minor sum could become a challenge. Even though loan companies for bad credit score do exist, the terms are not exactly beneficial for the applicant.
The biggest disadvantage of any bad credit personal loan in Alpine is its cost. Simply put, it is expensive. The less favorable your lending history is, the more difficult lending will be for you. Consequently, the better your previous grade, the better your conditions will be.
How do you check your actual score? The easiest way is to consult your bank. However, one gets loans from many companies, not necessarily your bank, so this information is also available on independent sites. That’s how outside companies will evaluate your finances, and you can easily access this information for free.
An actual credit score is a three-digit number. The higher this number is, the better off you are. Anything that falls under 630 mark is considered bad.
Why companies charge high interests?
At this point, you may think the whole system utterly unfair. After all, if you have little money in your account, or if your income is not too stable, it would make sense to pay lower interest. At least, that’s what borrowers hope for.
Still, you should not forget that such agencies are not charitable organizations, so they have to think about their businesses and profits, too. If credit applicants have a bad score, it usually means that they have a history of delaying their payments or not paying them at all. So, any lending agency that agrees to a bad credit loan risks their own money. Some bad score borrowers will not pay their debts, which, unfortunately, means that other borrowers will have to make up for this difference.
Simply put, a company lends a hundred bucks to three people (each), but one proves incapable of paying this debt. So, the other two will have to pay more interest, keeping lenders in business. That’s why most bad loan interests are so high. On the other hand, if your score is high, the potential lenders see you as a reliable person and can provide better repayment options.
Of course, there is always a way to improve this history, but it often takes time (which you do not always have). Still, getting into debts with high interests is definitely not the best idea because it can only worsen your financial situation instead of improving it.
Still, no situation is entirely hopeless, and if your lending experience is negative, you still have options when you want the cash. Let’s discuss them below.
You don’t have to pay high interests
Anyone can borrow some cash, even when the applicant’s score is low. Still, you cannot just agree to any conditions — you should see how the system works so that you do not end up in debt. Roughly, all lendings are subdivided into secured and unsecured ones.
An unsecured debt presupposes a simple contract when the debtor promises to repay the debt. Legal terminology aside, any unsecured lending is based on a promise, and the person who borrows money does not (or cannot) offer any warranties that this debt will be repaid. If the lendee defaults (that is, proves incapable of paying), a lender may apply any legal mechanism to collect the debt: collecting company is an obvious example. Re-selling your credit to a collecting agency is also an option. Usually, unsecured debts are any minor credits from your bank card; however, larger personal credits, even student ones, also fall under this category.
Secured debt is a bit different, giving more warranties for the one who lends you cash. With such debt types, a debtor offers something of value as collateral. Such an item can be something small — like jewelry you can take to the nearest pawn shop, or something even costlier — like a house or a car. In such a case scenario, the creditor can take your collateral valuable if you prove incapable or repaying. Thinking of mortgage by now? Yes, it is a good example — and definitely a common one.
Another example of a secured debt is a payday loan. Here, borrowers are not supposed to stake their cars or houses to get some money. However, they must give creditors a cheque with a due date. If applicants fail to pay back on the debt in full by its due time, a creditor simply cashes this cheque in. This, however, usually implies that you are still in debt — this time, to your bank. Why? Well, if you cannot repay the debt in time, you obviously have no money in your account balance; so, your debt essentially switches hands — from a creditor to a bank.
As for the interests you are supposed to pay, they vary from 100% to 400% percent. Payday credits have the highest rates, while installment debts — the lowest one. Besides, a whole range of other credits go in-between those two extremes: for instance, a title loan typically has a 300% interest rate.
How risky are bad credits loans in Alpine ?
Quite risky, to be completely frank. Even riskier if the creditor offers you money without checking your score and/or history. In such a case, interest will usually be sky-rocketing. Besides, if the creditor does not care about your situation and your repayment capabilities, he obviously doesn’t give a fig about you. But once again — there is a way out, and anyone can still get a loan with bad credit in TX without getting financially stuck. You simply need a bit more education, so read on.
Things to know about risk assessment
Learn to evaluate the risks before getting any kind of credits. This principle should help: when you buy something — like a laptop or a piece of furniture, you look for a reliable supplier. One has several ways to go about it — get a brand-new piece from an official store, find a distributor with verified legal credentials, or get the same laptop from a junkie you know nothing about. There is a difference, right?
Well, the same logic applies when dealing with money. You can go to a bank or turn to shady strangers. A bank or any other reputable agency will evaluate your monetary situation and describe all the risks and interests you’ll be expected to pay. Shady strangers will just promise to lend you cash right away, without looking into your finances. That may seem tempting, but as a result, you risk getting financially stuck because such loans usually have sky-rocketing interests and very short due dates. Most borrowers cannot fully repay such a loan, and the credit keeps switching hands, resulting in ever more debt day after day. That’s definitely not something you dream of when borrowing cash.
Of course, nothing is quite so hopeless, so don’t panic. Since you already understand you must never rely on shady agencies, you will be looking for a reliable company, and that’s already a nice start. There are plenty of those, and most of them will ensure the following guarantees:
• Focus on installment loans, not on payday ones. No reputable lender should offer fixed deadline credits, aka payday loans. The biggest downside of such credits is that they’re supposed to last for two weeks, but in practice, most borrowers end up repaying them for months and even years.Getting an installment plan from a reputable lender is a wiser solution. Unlike payday credits, installment ones are actually designed for repayment, not for putting a borrower into more debt. They come with lower interests and more extended deadlines.
• Understanding your finances flow. More importantly, a reliable lender must have a clear idea that you will pay (and when approximately this repayment will happen). That is why they analyze your history, as well as your regular income and spending habits. Such verification procedures are necessary to come up with a suitable crediting plan, making sure you can return the debt with minimum interest. • Understanding of your credit history. Even though any reputable agency will check into your finances, there are still two drastically different ways to do that — a soft check and a hard one. Hard checks imply consulting a number of official bureaus and agencies (even your bank), which leaves a trace and, once again, had an adverse effect on your history. Don’t worry, though — no one can call bank managers and get this info without your authorization. It is, however, possible to run a soft check without getting your bank involved. And that’s exactly what solid lenders do. • Flexible payment terms. Ideally, look for a creditor that offers you long-term payment plans. If you can pay them back sooner — heads up, just do it. Still, on the off chance that you need to skip a monthly payment, choose a company that allows you several months in advance. Otherwise, you risk getting stuck with a short-term loan you will not have the time to repay. Setting short deadlines for repaying the money is a common strategy unreliable creditors use, so avoiding them is a must. • Official reporting. We already mentioned that anyone can improve their histories, and the surest way to do it is to repay a debt — whether a new one or an old one. When dealing with reputable agencies, all your re-payments will be visible to your bank, which means that week after week, your bad grade will be improving, gradually turning into a good one.Our benefits for clients with bad scores

Mount signed a contract with a salary of £250,000-a-week at Old Trafford until 2028 with the option of a one-year extension, after United agreed to pay £55m to Chelsea plus £5m in add-ons.
Mount was also honored to wear the number 7 shirt – the famous shirt at Old Trafford that once belonged to legends George Best, Bryan Robson, Eric Cantona, David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo – after talking with coach Erik ten Hag.
The Dutch coach thinks that Mount, who is a dynamic player, fits his philosophy very well. Therefore, the Red Devils feel that the number 7 shirt for him is completely deserved.
The England international, after saying he was grateful for the opportunity to wear the MU shirt, was pictured taking part in his first training session on Friday morning. Mount was seen wearing a white MU training shirt and a pair of black shorts during training at Carrington. Mount smiled brightly as he stepped onto the field, then practiced passing the ball with his teammates and practicing heading.
Mount was particularly friendly with Lisandro Martinez, as the two hugged and posed for pictures before their first pre-season training session at Carrington began. Mount was also seen playing ghost games with Toby Collyer and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
Mount will certainly face immense pressure having cost the club £60m and wearing the number 7 shirt, making him the 10th player to be awarded the shirt. Many illustrious stars have struggled with the number 7 shirt at Old Trafford in recent years including Angel Di Maria, Memphis Depay, Michael Owen and Antonio Valencia.
However, the former Chelsea midfielder insists he is up for the challenge. After signing with the new club, he said: “Leaving the club where you grew up is never easy, but MU will present an exciting new challenge for the next phase of my career. After Playing against them, I know how strong the team I’m on is and I can’t wait to be a part of the team’s drive to win big titles.”
“One can see that the club has made great strides under Erik ten Hag. Meeting the manager and discussing his plans, I couldn’t be more excited about the upcoming season and ready for the challenges. The challenge is expected to be very difficult here. I am extremely ambitious. I know how great it feels to win big titles and what it takes to achieve it. I will give everything. to experience the title again at MU.”
Going to MU, Mount will be the right piece for a three-man midfield, which already has two world-class stars Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro. United are still keen to bring in a new striker and goalkeeper this summer. Danish striker Rasmus Hojlund remains the main target and is expected to cost around £50m. In addition, the Red Devils have submitted a second offer of around £43 million for Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana. | <urn:uuid:97291e95-d9ee-4045-8b5b-1b847a6d628f> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://sportnewsnetwork.net/mason-mount-smiles-and-hugs-lisandro-during-the-first-training-session-in-mu.snn | 2024-02-28T06:12:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.975077 | 610 |
The Carolina Hurricanes really didn't need this. 2-7-1 in their last 10 games, the club have fallen to 10th in the East, struggling through inconsistent play, a sputtering offence, and worst of all, injuries on their back-end and in goal.
On Tuesday, the club suffered yet another such injury, as big-minute defenceman Joni Pitkanen went into the wall trying to outrace Capitals' forward Troy Brouwer on an icing call. This one looked bad. Add this cringeworthy clip to the list of arguments for hybrid icing:
It doesn't look like Brouwer did anything here that threw Pitkanen off his stride. No push, no stick to the skates. In fact, it looks like he did a pretty good job of reaching for the puck without doing anything to endanger Pitkanen.
Of course, that doesn't mean Pitkanen wasn't in danger. Touch icing endangers Pitkanen and every other hockey player all on its own.
(UPDATE: Hurricanes GM Jim Rutherford said he believes Pitkanen will miss the next three months.)
Expect this play to revive the debate over touch icing in hockey, because Pitkanen wouldn't have left this game on a stretcher if the hybrid rule were in place. Hybrid icing, which saw a mostly positive 564-game test period in the AHL in January, allows the linesman to blow the play dead based if the opposition player doesn't look like the clear winner to the puck by the faceoff dots, and in this race, Pitkanen was slightly ahead at that point.
So the play continued, and as Pitkanen pushed to beat a surging Brouwer to the puck, he got too close to the wall before attempting to put on the brakes. When he wasn't able to begin stopping in time, he crashed into the wall, right leg-first, with a significant amount of force.
Kurtis Foster, who broke his left leg in several places after crashing into the wall on a puck race in 2008, had an immediate response to the play:
Yes, Pitkanen could be done for the season (although the good news is that he was treated in-area rather than being taken to hospital), but wasn't that an exciting play? You can see why the game continues to put players at risk every night. | <urn:uuid:dae53b71-1ec4-46a3-ab3b-e0cc7d7666a0> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/hurricanes-joni-pitkanen-stretchered-off-ice-following-crash-011913430--nhl.html | 2024-02-28T06:27:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.9784 | 488 |

Freelance journalists are in a tight spot: subject to financial pressure, intimidation, and threats, they lack the protections offered by major media outlets. Yet they remain dedicated to investigation, balance, and “the story” – and FIJ backs them up.

Since October 7, several events targeting the Arab-Muslim and Jewish communities have taken place in Montreal in the wake of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The Service de Police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) has focused its interventions to prioritize a response. All necessary resources are being mobilized, in terms of field presence, investigations and the collaboration with the communities targeted.
Victims or witnesses of a hate crime or incident?
As a Montreal citizen, the SPVM invites you to call 911 in the case of an emergency, or to present yourself to your local neighbourhood police station, if you fear for your safety, your physical integrity or if you feel that you are being threatened, discriminated against or harassed within the context of a hate event. You will notably be able to obtain assistance or file a complaint.
You can also report a hate incident online, by clicking on the button below.
Don't hesitate to report a hate crime or hate incident to the police by providing as much information as possible, e.g., words spoken by the suspect and any clues or information confirming the hateful nature of the situation.
You can also report the event anonymously and confidentially to Info-Crime Montréal at
514 393-1133 or via the form available on the website infocrimemontreal.ca.
Each new report is dealt with promptly. You can help us counter hate crimes by reporting these events, in which you may have been a victim or a witness. It is equally important that you report hate incidents to the police. The SPVM's Module des incidents et des crimes haineux investigates hate incidents to prevent them from being hate crimes.
How to distinguish a hate crime from a hate incident? A hate crime is a CRIMINAL offence. A hate incident is a NON-CRIMINAL ACT, which is derogatory or vexatious. This act could affect the sense of security of a person or an identifiable group of people. In both cases, they are considered hateful when they are motivated or suspected of being motivated by hatred of race, national or ethnic origin, language, color, religion, sex, age, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other similar factor. |

Vital Point Strikes is a guide to pressure point striking for the average martial artist.
Sang H. Kim demystifies the lore of vital point striking and shows you realistic applications of vital point strikes for self-defense and combat sports.
For those new to the concept of vital points, he begins by examining the Eastern theory of acupoints, meridians and ki (qi) and the Western scientific concepts of the nervous and circulatory systems, pain threshold and pain tolerance, and the relationship between pain and fear.
This synthesis of accepted Eastern and Western theories helps the reader understand what makes vital point striking work and why it can be not only useful in fighting, but deadly.
Based on this introduction, you'll learn about 202 vital points for use in fighting including the name, point number, location, involved nerves and blood vessels, applicable techniques, sample applications, and potential results for each point.
The points are illustrated in detail on an anatomically correct human model, with English, Chinese, and Korean names as well as point numbers for easy reference.
In addition to identifying the vital points, Sang H. Kim gives you detailed information about the type of techniques that work for vital point striking including a discussion of fighting zones and ranges, plexus strikes, stance and footwork, bodily weapons, striking directions and angles and dozens of applications for common empty hand, grappling, groundfighting, knife and gun attacks.
Based on over thirty years experience in the martial arts and in-depth research, Sang H. Kim has created one of the most complete books available on the art and science of vital point striking. | <urn:uuid:129de70a-19ac-48c0-9b81-717b9ec4e6ad> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://spygadgetwarehouse.com/products/book-vital-point-strikes-the-art-and-science-of-striking-vital-targets-for-self-defense-and-combat-sports | 2024-02-28T05:36:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.925946 | 333 |
An Introduction to the Evolution of Macaroons
Those delightful, petite sweets known as macaroons have a vibrant and intriguing history. Initially crafted by Venetian monks in the 8th century, these delectable treats have traveled far and wide from their Italian roots. The term “macaroon” is derived from the Italian “maccarone” or “maccherone,” translating to “fine dough.” This article illuminates the fascinating evolution of macaroons, exploring their diverse forms and the artistry involved in their creation.
The Origins and Transformation of Macaroons
The Italian Beginnings and French Refinement
Macaroons first emerged not as the renowned Parisian delicacy we know today, but as a simple blend of almond paste, sugar, and egg whites. The journey of the macaroon to France started with Catherine de’ Medici’s marriage to Henry II, whose pastry chefs introduced this delightful Italian tidbit to the French court.
The American Influence and the Birth of Coconut Macaroons
In the 19th century, when macaroons made their way to America, a new variation was born. Given that coconut was more affordable and available than almonds, American bakers created the coconut macaroon, a common sight in bakeries across the United States today.
Diverse Variations of Macaroons
The Modern Parisian Macarons
The Parisian or French macaron, characterized by its twin shells and ganache filling, is a relatively recent innovation. Pierre Desfontaines of Ladurée introduced this form in the 20th century. Its myriad flavors and vibrant colors have since gained global popularity.
Italian Amaretti and Ricciarelli
The Italians have their unique macaroon variations such as the amaretti and ricciarelli. Amaretti typically incorporate bitter almonds for a distinct taste, while ricciarelli from Siena are soft, chewy, and often diamond-shaped.
The Artistic Craft of Making Macaroons
Perfecting the macaroon is a skillful art, demanding meticulous measurement, sophisticated technique, and ample patience. The key ingredients include almond flour or coconut, sugar, and egg whites. Additional elements such as food coloring, flavorings, and fillings vary based on the type of macaroon being crafted.
The technique for crafting macaroons calls for expertise and practice. The egg whites need to be whipped into stiff peaks, but not overbeaten. The dry ingredients must be gently folded into the egg whites to preserve volume.
The baking process is paramount for achieving the characteristic texture of macaroons. They should be crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Resting them before baking helps form a skin that rises to create the iconic “foot” or frilled edge during baking.
Macaroons pair excellently with a range of beverages. While tea is a classic choice, they also complement coffee and even wine. The macaroon’s sweetness balances the bitterness of coffee and the tannins in tea and wine.
Storage of Macaroons
Macaroons should be stored in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their texture. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
Macaroons, sweet morsels with a rich history, have undergone significant transformation and evolution across cultures and centuries. From the simplistic Italian almond cookie to the vibrant, filled Parisian delicacy, each variation holds a distinctive place in the culinary world. The artistry involved in making macaroons speaks volumes about the creativity of pastry chefs globally. So, the next time you savor a macaroon, remember the sweet basil macarons recipe culinary adventure it embarked on to reach your plate.

Iran still really dislikes that one story Rushdie told last century
by Dustin Kurtz
The more-or-less abrogated fatwa on author Salman Rushdie has officially been renewed.
The twenty-three year old edict was first issued by Ayatollah Khomeini in an effort to punish Rushdie in retribution for his strange and beautiful novel The Satanic Verses. Khomenei called the book “blasphemous” in its depiction of Islam and ordered the author’s death, issuing a bounty on his head. Rushdie spent the next thirteen years of his life in hiding. Even recently, after the fatwa was more-or-less let drop in order to normalize Iranian relations with Great Britain, Rushdie was forced to cancel a trip to India due to threats from extremists there. The Satanic Verses remains banned in his native country.
Now, this Sunday, Hassan Sanei of the religious foundation 15 Khordad and spokesperson for Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khameini has decreed the fatwa back in effect, adding
“Surely if the sentence of the Imam (Khomeini) had been carried out, the later insults in the form of caricatures, articles and the making of movies would not have occurred.”
Sanei is of course referring to the various trailers for the film Innocence of Muslims which have set the Muslim world alight this past week, a movie nearly as risible for it’s poor production quality and nonsensical dialogue as for its bigoted depiction of the prophet and his religion. Rushdie himself spoke about the film to the Telegraph, saying
“The correct response would be to say it is garbage and unimportant. Clearly, it’s a piece of crap, is very poorly done and is malevolent. To react to it with this kind of violence is just ludicrously inappropriate. People are being attacked who had nothing to do with it and that is not right.”
News of the renewed fatwa was timed to coincide with the release of Rushdie’s Joseph Anton, a new memoir about his time spent in hiding under a pseudonym and with a complement of four round-the-clock bodyguards. One imagines Sanei’s Google Alerts for combinations of the phrases “Salman Rushdie” “new book” and “opportunity for pointless paranoiac discourse-chilling incitement to murder” notified him that the book was soon to be published and Sanei felt he couldn’t let the moment pass. The moment, that is, to incite people to kill a man over a story he wrote one time decades ago that loosely references, in a dream sequence, another guy who Sanei really likes a lot.
The Iranian bounty on Rushdie’s head has been increased by an additional five hundred thousand dollars this time around, for those vicious extremists out there who were tempted to have a go at assassination the first time, but then decided that while the prospect of a nearly three million dollar reward was indeed tempting, they’d need just a bit more incentive before graduating from potential to full-fledged world’s-biggest-asshole status. Presumably the extra money is meant to pay for bigger guns and more elite commando training, the better to kill the gentle, paunchy sixty-five year old novelist.
For more on the Rushdie fatwa I recommend our own From Fatwa to Jihad by Kenan Malik and The Flight of the Intellectuals by Paul Berman, about Islamism and the press.

The Junior Lock-In has been discontinued and rebranded this year, according to an email the Director of Student Life Royce Wallace sent to Grade 11 students and families Oct. 20. Since 2015, Grade 11 students spend the night on school campus during the annual “Junior Lock-In” and participate in various community-building activities.
Although some of the activities scheduled for Nov. 17 will still take place, Wallace said students must now leave campus by 11 p.m. to ensure the school is complying with U.K. guidelines.
“It’s really about safeguarding and safety and duty of care,” Wallace said. “When it ends at 11, it gives an opportunity for students to get home safely.”
In past years, students have been given the option to leave campus at various times throughout the night, which according to Wallace, meant chaperones had to keep track of “140 teenagers and then try to manage who’s leaving when.”
“If students are leaving at one and two and three…you’re thinking about, ‘Okay, how are they getting home? Where are they going? Who’s picking them up?’” Wallace said.
In addition, with the flexibility of leaving at different times, Wallace said only around 10 to 15 students have chosen to stay for the entire night during the past few lock-ins.
Student Council representative Gus Bhatia (’25) said he worries the council will receive backlash for the cancellation, even though the change was made by the administration.
“We were very angry to say the least, and we weren’t gonna show it in that office, but we were disappointed for numerous reasons,” Bhatia said. “No matter how obvious the administration makes it that it was their decision… people will be coming at us for this, and so how do we bounce back?”
Evan Dana (’25) said she is saddened by the administration’s decision to cancel the lock-in.
“I was looking forward to spending time with friends and enjoying time on campus that isn’t for academic purposes,” Dana said. “The idea of staying late is kind of exciting and it’s just kind of unfortunate that we have to leave so early now.”
In place of the lock-in, Bhatia said StuCo created an activity dubbed “The Junior Games.” After watching the High School musical, the grade will participate in a game similar to capture the flag from 9-11 p.m.
Dana said although she is excited for the game, she still would have preferred to stay on campus longer.
“I’m looking forward to the game because it actually sounds fun, but I would rather stay late,” Dana said. “It brings a class closer together if you spend like a night together because it gives you more time to talk, and you spend less time participating in mandatory activities.”
Wallace said being able to establish a new format for the lock-in is a great opportunity for the junior class.
“While [the lock-in] is a tradition, they get to rebrand that tradition and make it something of their own that hopefully other classes will follow,” Wallace said. “I take that as a leadership opportunity.”
Similarly, Bhatia said he believes this new game can successfully replace the lock-in.
“I do believe that the Junior Games have potential to really kind of start a new tradition,” Bhatia said. “The idea in theory and the way that we’re putting it together sounds incredibly, incredibly fun, and for me, it will strongly depend on the willingness of the kids in our grade to want to follow our rules for the greater good of everybody.”

Architecture practice Studio AMB has renovated a century-old traditional Japanese home in the Misumi region of Shimane to create a minimalist guesthouse, featuring a communal ground floor that is open to the elements.
Intended to give a new generation of visitors the opportunity to “experience the local climate and culture” of the small fishing village, the dwelling was intended not only for private guests, but also as a gathering space for the local community when empty.
Studio AMB “reinterprets ancient traditions” for guesthouse in Japan
Retaining and reinforcing the existing wooden structure, Studio AMB looked to reinterpret the typical spaces of a traditional Japanese home, including the doma – an interstitial, dirt-floored space, and the engawa – a porch-style ledge around the edge of the building.
“Our approach diverges from the prevalent issue in Japan of ‘scrap and build’, opting instead to create spaces that reinterpret ancient traditions to pass on traditional homes to the future,” the studio’s founder Haruki Nakayama told Dezeen.
The home integrates a sunken kitchen and bathing area partially hidden by a perimeter engawa
Digging down into the ground floor of the home has created space for a sunken kitchen and bathing area, partially hidden from view by the wooden engawa that wraps the perimeter of the home.
Slim wooden columns and the overhanging roof shelter these spaces, with the front of the home left almost entirely open to the elements and the rear protected by the sloping nature of the site.
“In traditional Japanese dwellings, rooms with tatami mats are typically elevated about 50-60 centimetres above the ground, fostering a cultural practice of removing shoes when entering indoor spaces,” explained Nakayama.
“Considering the places dealing with water – kitchens and baths – we envisioned creating a versatile space akin to the ‘doma’, enabling various activities depending on the users.”
“It might transform into a traditional ‘onsen’ ‘footbath’, a ‘pool’, or even a pond for fish and plants for creating an installation to communicate with neighbours,” he continued.
The sunken bathing area can act as an onsen, footbath or pool
A small wooden staircase between the bathroom and kitchen leads up to the first floor, where the more private bedroom spaces are located, featuring tatami flooring and wooden screens that can open them up to the outside.
Wherever possible the project maintained the existing wooden finishes of the home, with the sunken ground floor areas finished with mortex coating to provide greater resilience and waterproofing while still “embodying the texture” of a traditional earthen doma.
The first floor hosts more private bedroom spaces with tatami flooring and operable screens
Other conversions of traditional Japanese homes include DDAA’s transformation of an 86-year-old dwelling in Nagasaki prefecture into and office for pottery brand Maruhiro.

Co-operative Bank profit after tax for the half year ending June grew to Sh12.1 billion compared to a similar period last year on account of high interest and non-interest incomes.
This shot up from Sh11.5 billion in a similar period last year.
While net interest revenue jumped by 2.3 percent to Sh21.5 billion, total non-interest income went up by four percent to Sh13.8 billion.
This helped push up total operating income from Sh34.4 billion to Sh35.4 billion.
“The Co-operative Bank Group continues to pursue strategic initiatives that focuson resilience and growth in the various economic sectors,” its Group Managing Director (MD) Gideon Muriuki said.
“This is anchored on a successful universal banking model supported by an innovative digital presence, a wide physical footprint, and the unique synergies in the over 15-million-member co-operative movement that is the largest in Africa,” the MD stated.
Net loans and advances also increased by 10.1 percent to Sh664.9 billion in the period.
Similarly, deposits by customers grew to Sh463.9 billion from Sh423 billion, representing a nearly 10 percent jump.
Increased revenue was also boosted by a 0.1 percent decline in operating expenses to Sh19.1 billion. | <urn:uuid:bd054041-03dd-457d-99d0-327b9bb56c0d> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://startoday.co.ke/2626/co-op-bank-records-profit-increase-in-half-year-results/ | 2024-02-28T05:38:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.963308 | 277 |

Red & White Pendant Safety Flagging (Bunting) - 82 feet
This product is primarily used with our Sentinel Overhead Goalpost kits. If the flagging supplied with your set has become damaged or has been lost, this 82ft of bunting is ideal as a replacement.
Also known as safety flagging, this bunting with red and white pendants is designed for use around work sites, warehouses, and wherever a light-duty barrier system is required. It is an excellent alternative to rope, which can "disappear" visually into the background. The rectangular high visibility flagging catches the eye and allows pedestrians, drivers, and other passers-by to gauge how far away distance away the restriction is.
Simple to deploy the pendant-style bunting can be wrapped around posts, poles, cones, or just about anything.
The pendant flags suspended from the cord are red and white and made of Polyvinylchloride so are long-lasting and weather-resistant.
I Have Questions About These Goalpost Safety Flags!

The wrong phone call was the right call
On stumbling closer to the truth.
I was working on a story today and called a source for a second interview — the story needed a few more facts. To my dismay, I discovered that I had called the wrong person. My first interview was some time ago, and when getting ready for the callback I misread my notes in a way that confused two people. I apologized and hung up.
Then I thought for a moment and called back. I realized that the source I had called by mistake was someone I needed to talk with, though I had not known this before making the error. We talked for half an hour, and their information improved the story that I will eventually file.
I can’t say this episode was an anomaly. I often stumble into something useful that I could not, or at least did not, plan to find.
This happened on a recent reporting trip to Israel. My colleagues and I stepped out of the Tel Aviv airport and into a taxi, where the driver was intently studying social media and listening to the radio. When I struck up a conversation, he said he had just passed near a Hamas rocket strike, and was seeking information about it. He agreed to take us there. On the way, I asked how the war had affected him, and he said his daughter had lost friends in the Hamas attack Oct. 7. I asked how she was doing, and he said, You can ask her yourself—and called her right then on speakerphone. We had a story within minutes of our arrival that we could never have planned.
Loren Jenkins, a longtime international editor at NPR, once gave me advice for reporting in a place that was new to me: “Just get in there and thrash around.” See what you discover! This does not sound like much of a system, but it amounts to keeping your mind open to experience. That’s better than showing up somewhere with a preconceived notion of what the story is. A fair amount of journalism consists of reporters listening to press conferences or interviews for the sound bite that confirms the story they think they already know.
During book events for Differ We Must, people have asked about my research method. And I answered by quoting Loren Jenkins: “Just thrash around.” I explore archives, read books filled with letters, and visit historic sites; and while I am always looking for something, I often discover something else that is more interesting. The book tells Lincoln’s life story through sixteen meetings he had with people who differed with him—and the list includes several people I never heard of before I started the book—like Lincoln’s barber William Florville, or Mary Ellen Wise, a woman who pretended to be a man in order to serve in the army. In other cases I had heard of the person but not the meeting that was the heart of the chapter.
In several cases I had read brief accounts of the meeting in big biographies but had not really absorbed what it meant.
Probably my research would be more efficient if it were more systematic. Sometimes I discover a fact at the end that I wish I’d known at the start! But it’s worth keeping my mind open to the story in front of me rather than a story I have set myself up to find. It was essential when researching the most written-about figure in American history. I had read books about Lincoln all my life, had kept collections of his letters in my home for many years, and even had discussed him in two of my earlier books! Yet when exploring his story more deeply for this biography, I constantly found facts and insights that were new to me.
Thanks for reading Differ We Must, my companion to the book and my exploration of our divided times. You may judge for yourself if the things I turn up are new to you. | <urn:uuid:37eddd9b-8f1b-40bb-895f-6134feafe7b2> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://steveinskeep.substack.com/p/the-wrong-phone-call-was-the-right | 2024-02-28T06:12:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.988821 | 800 |

– The gilding machine may not have enough heat.
– Check the settings of the gilding machine.
– The gilding suitable for your paper may not be selected. Get information from your gilding supplier.
– Ask us for scales for lines and points where you can gilt print.
– If the cellophane of your work is of poor quality, it may burn, shrink or cannot be partially printed.
WHY DOES GOFREE NOT RISE?
– Since the document that will be cliché is not vectorial, the reduction and inflation settings may not be good.
– Appropriate cliché and response have not been selected.
– Check the power of the machine.
– Ask for a scale for lines and points you can emboss on.
WHY DOES IT NOT SIT ON THE PRINT? WHAT SHOULD WE DO ?
– Paper can be opened in offset printing.
– Your paper may have been opened during plastering.
– Your paper may have been opened with cellophane.
– In gilded clichés, certain temperatures are required for the gilding to pass. As a result of this heat, the metal expands at certain rates according to the heat and does not overlap during printing. To prevent this, the cliché should be narrowed before going into production. (90% is captured with this contraction) You can get the contraction information from us, the expansion happens mostly in boiler machines.
WHAT ARE THE FEATURES OF RICE Cliché?
– It gives a clearer printing result as it can hold the heat on it more.
– It has a longer deformation time and a structure that can pay for itself in high circulation.
– Fine and delicate details emerge more easily.
IS it possible to crush with a foil gilding cliché?
– Foil gilding clichés are not easily deformed and are made in accordance with machines that can print on gilding. The stroke portion of it is 1.5 mm. For example, 3mm cliché can be reduced to 1.5mm, and foil gilding can be printed. It is convenient to disassemble, install and adjust. However, if we want to print (embed embossed) on leather and leather fabric cardboard with this cliché, you have to let us know. Because by lowering such clichés steeper and deeper, we ensure that the cliché base does not leave any traces in the print.
HOW TO STORAGE THE MAGNESIUM Cliché?
– The cliché should be carefully removed from the machine.
– There should be no water or damp cloth on the cliché. The cliché must be dried before being stored.
– It should be wiped with thin machine oil with the help of cotton, wrapped in air nylon and stored in a dry environment without moisture. When it will be used, you can clean it with a cotton or clean soft cloth and connect it to the machine. | <urn:uuid:6012b8e1-35ff-4873-a4b7-d016fbc871d6> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://stilklise.com/En/Pagess/2/5/klise-hakkinda | 2024-02-28T05:30:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.916062 | 1,076 |
The Lord wants us to love each other; this is the essence of freedom—love for God and for your neighbor. This is both freedom and equality.
Love. Freedom. Equality. Is this not the language of our modern age? One needn’t turn very far to hear these words spoken or to see them emblazoned upon a shirt or a billboard. John Lennon famously sung, “All you need is love.” And he was right: all we need is love. So if love is all we need, then we must know the definition of love—God’s love.
The opening quote is not from the Beatles. It is from St. Silouan the Athonite. Though St. Silouan uses similar words to John Lennon’s, his life and his example to us could not be more different than the life and example of the Beatles.
St. Silouan was a Russian peasant, born to pious parents in 1866. He had virtually no formal education. As a young man, he got in a fight and nearly killed a man. He then had a spiritual crisis, which caused him to reject the drinking, socializing life he had led. He resolved to become a monk and to go to Mt. Athos, where he became an unknown monk—among 9,000 monks on Athos at that time—and remained there for the rest of his life.
St. Silouan’s education came through prayer, the liturgical services, and Holy Scripture. He was taught by God, such that he became a theologian, writing profound spiritual insights on little scraps of paper. These scraps were collected by Archimandrite Sophrony, his spiritual son, who exposed the world to this spiritual giant of our times. St. Silouan is commemorated on September 24 each year, and we will have Orthros and Divine Liturgy in his honor.
As you can see, St. Silouan is quite different from John Lennon; yet both of them spoke of love. What is love? In St. Silouan’s quote we can begin to see what love looks like. It has freedom and it brings about equality.
The freedom that St. Silouan speaks of is not the freedom so commonly promoted in America: freedom for me to do what I want. Rather it is the ultimate freedom from enslavement to our fallen self. As children of Adam and Eve, we are born under bondage, slaves of our passions and selfish desires. By denying these “masters” we become truly free. Contemporary notions of freedom promote the opposite: they glorify our selfish desires, further enslaving us. It is only when we can love our neighbor as ourselves, becoming selfless instead of selfish, that we can experience true freedom.
St. Silouan wrote extensively about love—a God-given love which spans all of mankind, embracing each person as our very self. Through his prayers, may we learn what love is and become truly free. | <urn:uuid:eb78b26f-9de1-42ad-8375-fa88728197d5> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://stjohngoc.org/what-is-love/ | 2024-02-28T05:19:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.975938 | 625 |

Creatives, models, lovers, and now designers Breanna Box and Peter Dupont (hailing from the US and Denmark, respectively) just relocated to Brooklyn, NYC, from London. They are the founders and foundling glass-blowers behind Heven, a luxe-kitsch hand-blown glass brand for an unapologetic era of design that recently collaborated with Coperni for their AW22 show, creating glass bags that was picked up by Kylie Jenner and Doja Cat.
Championing playfulness, accessibility, and an endearingly balls-to-the-wall approach to learning a millennia-old craft, the pair have rejected the perfectionism usually associated with unique glassware production. They instead invite their followers, the industry, and customers to watch them “grow up in public”. The brand was founded during the pandemic out of an urge for creativity and to create functional pieces that straddle design and sensuality. This dynamic duo applies themselves to glassmaking with passion and an innate sense of style.
Heven has been featured in various publications such as New York Times, Another Magazine, The Face, Vogue, and many more. | <urn:uuid:dce0424b-532a-4ad3-af2f-0d30ece6a70d> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://store.theforumist.com/collections/heven | 2024-02-28T05:51:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.953623 | 241 |

Lack of self-motivation and willpower has made a long way for learning students to fail their checks. Some college students have also felt that they actually need the true picture of campus life, which is usually a very not unusual hassle with distance getting to know college students.

(sloanconsortium.Org/courses/survey/class_differences) The fact that so many human beings choose online applications over everyday classroom-primarily based training might advise that there are a few benefits to this mode of gaining knowledge. And for some students, there may be an excellent deal to be won: Whether it’s a far-desired merchandising at work or a career shift you are looking for, distance learning packages will let you reap your goals without throwing your present-day lifestyle off stability.

No problem-log in finishing your schoolwork that afternoon or later that night time.

Transhumanism and The Myth of Arrival
Nietzsche’s Human All-Too-Human is a book that explores the human condition and our tendency to make assumptions about the world and ourselves. Nietzsche argues that humans often fall into the trap of seeing themselves and the world in a certain way, without ever questioning the validity of these assumptions. He believes that this leads to a lack of self-awareness and a lack of understanding of the world around us.
Nietzsche thinks that we have a tendency to project their own beliefs and desires onto the world, rather than seeing it as it truly is. This can lead to a distorted view of reality, where we see things that are not actually there. Nietzsche also argues that humans have a tendency to see the world in terms of good and evil, rather than accepting that it is a neutral and impersonal place.
Nietzsche presents an argument in his book that humans have a tendency to create moral and belief systems based on our own desires and needs, rather than an objective understanding of reality. This, Nietzsche claims, leads to a lack of freedom as we are constrained by these systems and unable to see the world from different perspectives. Additionally, Nietzsche addresses the concept of knowledge and how it is often used to justify our prejudices and desires. He argues that knowledge is often used to justify our own biases and beliefs, rather than as a means to understand the world. Nietzsche contends that true understan3ding comes from challenging our own convictions and assumptions, and seeing the world from a new and unique perspective.
Nietzsche, in his work, offers a critique of traditional morality and religion, maintaining that they are nothing more than human constructs designed to justify certain beliefs and actions. However, one could argue that there exist universal moral principles that aren’t simply human constructs but rather are based on reason and compassion. These principles, such as the Golden Rule or the principle of non-harm, aren’t arbitrary or subjective but rather grounded in human nature and the nature of the world.
Furthermore, it could be argued that religion serves a crucial function in providing a sense of community, purpose, and spiritual fulfillment for many people. While Nietzsche’s ideas may be intellectually stimulating, they do not necessarily invalidate the value of traditional morality and religion.
Some might say that Nietzsche’s worldview is overly cynical and nihilistic. Critics argue that his portrayal of humanity as nothing more than a cluster of selfish and shallow desires is overly negative and doesn’t take into account the brighter sides of human nature.
On the flip side, many consider Nietzsche’s ideas in “Human, All Too Human” to be incredibly insightful and thought-provoking. Nietzsche’s emphasis on self-awareness and self-overcoming is viewed as a valuable addition to our understanding of human nature. His call for individuals to transcend their base desires and strive for something greater is perceived as a powerful and motivating message.
Additionally, Nietzsche’s examination of religion, morality, and traditional values is considered a vital and pertinent viewpoint in contemporary society. His rejection of conventional morality and call for individuals to establish their own values is perceived as a liberating and empowering message. Furthermore, his critique of religion as a tool for control and oppression is deemed a valuable insight into the function of religion in society. These are all compelling critiques.
Nietzsche’s philosophy poses a conundrum — if we accept that life is meaningless, as he argues, then what is the point of striving for something better or creating our own values? This question has puzzled many who have encountered his ideas.
On the one hand, life can be said to have meaning and significance, regardless of the nature of our existence or whether an ultimate purpose exists. Meaning is imposed on us through our relationships with others and it is not something to be discovered somewhere else. On the other hand, when meaning is dependent on finite and imperfect beings such as ourselves, in an ultimately condemned universe, then principles such as justice, fairness, morality, and love appear to be in vain, being nothing more than the result of naturalistic processes and the blind, pitiless, indifferent movement of atoms.
This conundrum is the ultimate challenge posed by Nietzsche’s philosophy — how can one find meaning and purpose in a meaningless world? It is a question that requires deep reflection and a personal journey to find an answer.
Here are four notable quotes from the book:
“In reality, hope is the worst of all evils, because it prolongs man’s torments.”
Here, Nietzsche argues that hope is a negative force in the lives of human beings. He suggests that hope prolongs one’s suffering by keeping individuals clinging to something that may never come to fruition.
Nietzsche’s perspective on hope is rooted in his philosophy of the eternal recurrence, which posits that all events in the universe repeat themselves infinitely. In this worldview, hope is seen as a futile endeavor, as it is based on the belief that things will change for the better in the future. But, according to Nietzsche, the future is predetermined and unchangeable, so there is no point in hoping for something different.
Nietzsche also believed that hope can lead to disappointment and despair when it is not fulfilled. When an individual places their hope in something and it does not come to fruition, they are left feeling let down and possibly even more hopeless than before.
Furthermore, Nietzsche argues that hope can be a form of escapism, allowing individuals to avoid dealing with the present reality and their current problems. Instead of facing their struggles head-on, they may choose to hold onto hope as a means of avoiding their problems and their suffering.
“No one dies of fatal truths nowadays: there are too many antidotes.”
One interpretation of this quote is that Nietzsche is critical of the way that people in modern society use distractions and diversions to avoid dealing with difficult truths. This could include things like entertainment, social media, or drugs and alcohol. These distractions provide a temporary escape from reality, but ultimately do not address the underlying issues.
Another interpretation is that Nietzsche is referring to the proliferation of ideologies and belief systems that offer easy answers to complex problems, rather than facing the harsh realities of life. This could include religious or political ideologies that promise salvation or utopia, but ultimately do not deliver on those promises.
Nietzsche’s quote could also be interpreted as a comment on the way that people in modern society have become desensitized to difficult truths. With the constant bombardment of information and the ease of access to information, people are exposed to a wide variety of information, some of which are difficult to accept, but they have become accustomed to it to the point where it doesn’t affect them in a deep way.
“Do you deserve truth? You sure seek it, but do you deserve it? If you want to see real things burning you first have to reach up to the height of the fire.”
In this quote, Friedrich Nietzsche is questioning the value and merit of seeking truth. He implies that simply wanting to know the truth is not enough and that one must first prove themselves worthy of it by demonstrating the courage and determination to reach the heights where the truth burns.
In other words, truth is not something that comes naturally or easily. One must suffer greatly in order to reach it. But it is also true that truth has the potential to destroy you, like fire.
“Not joy but joylessness is the mother of debauchery”
Think of the ways in which people often drink, not because they are joyful, but because they have nothing to be joyful about. Alcohol and drugs become an escape from finding true meaning and happiness. But ultimately, these behaviors leads to a cycle of self-destructive behavior that become very difficult to overcome.
“Error has transformed animals into men; is truth perhaps capable of changing man back into an animal?”
Nietzsche thinks that people have become so detached from nature by blindly following social and cultural norms He suggests that these norms have suppressed man’s natural instincts, and thus disconnecting man from their true nature. We have discovered, through error, through wars and conflict, that our animalsitic natures are destructive and most be reigned in for the benefit of the human race. At the same time, Nietzsche believes that these self-corrective behaviors are ultimately based on social fictions. If one seeks the truth, they may discover that they are at root, animals, and knowing this can be liberating.
The spirit of Nietzsche’s book is to abandon hope. Whether it is hope in the promise of civilization or religion. The biggest danger is not failure, but rather than false anticipation of victory. And in our modern world, the ultimate anticipation of some final victory does not come from traditional religions, but rather, from Silicon Valley. The preachers of the future world in which technology brings about “deliverance” are people like Ray Kurzweil. They are engineers rather priests or sheikhs or rabbis. Instead of a holy book — the doctrines that are followed religiously come from scientists and technologists.
That is why Mahoney’s “The Myth of Arrival” is a thought-provoking work. It delves into the idea that the human experience is one of constant movement and change, rather than one of arrival or completion. Through his use of literature, philosophy, and personal anecdotes, Mahoney argues that the idea of “arrival” is a myth that is deeply ingrained in our culture and that it leads to a feeling of dissatisfaction and unfulfillment.
The central argument of “The Myth of Arrival” is that human beings are always in a state of becoming, and that the idea of arrival is an illusion. Mahoney suggests that the human experience is one of constant movement and change, and that the idea of arriving at a final destination is a false one. He argues that the belief in the possibility of arrival leads to a feeling of dissatisfaction and unfulfillment, as individuals are always striving for something that is ultimately unattainable.
Mahoney uses literature, philosophy, and personal anecdotes to support his argument. He references works such as Samuel Beckett’s “Waiting for Godot” and Henry David Thoreau’s “Walden” to illustrate the human desire for arrival and the futility of that desire. He also uses personal anecdotes to show how the belief in arrival can lead to feelings of dissatisfaction and unfulfillment.
“Waiting for Godot” is a particularly poignant example, as the two main characters are in a state of constant waiting, never arriving or completing their journey. Mahoney argues that this theme is reflective of the human experience — we are always waiting and striving, never arriving at our destination. In one scene of the play, the two characters debate the idea of arrival — one says that they have arrived, while the other insists that they are still on the journey. This scene serves to illustrate the futility of chasing after an arrival that can never be reached.
In Walden, Thoreau also contends that life is a journey and not a destination. He problematizes the notion of arrival and maintains that life is a process of constant change and growth. For Thoreau, the point of life is to find contentment in the journey, instead of searching for an unattainable destination. This might sound like a cliche, but the deeper point is that true fulfillment and satisfaction come from accepting life as it is, and not trying to control outcomes. This is a difficult lesson to learn and one that is often met with resistance. However, by embracing life’s changing nature and accepting the journey, we can gain a sense of peace and harmony that is not found in the pursuit of an impossible goal. In other words, Mahoney’s The Myth of Arrival serves as a reminder to embrace the journey and to appreciate all the moments along the way, even if that journey leads us to a utopian state of post-humanity.
Mahoney’s “The Myth of Arrival” has a significant relevance to the movement of transhumanism. Transhumanism is a movement that aims to use technology to enhance human capabilities and transcend the limitations of the human body and mind. It proposes the idea of a “post-human” state, where humans will have overcome their physical and mental limitations. However, Mahoney’s argument that the human experience is one of constant movement and change, and that the idea of arrival is an illusion, can be applied to the transhumanist movement.
Transhumanism argues that through technology, humans can transcend the limitations of the human body and mind and arrive at a post-human state. This idea of arrival, where humans will have overcome their physical and mental limitations, can be seen as a form of the myth of arrival. Transhumanists believe that through technology they will have arrived at a final destination, a post-human state, but as Mahoney argues, the human experience is one of constant movement and change and the idea of arrival is an illusion.
Mahoney’s argument that the belief in arrival can lead to a lack of appreciation for the present moment is also relevant to transhumanism. Transhumanists often focus on the potential of technology to enhance human capabilities and transcend the limitations of the human body and mind, but they may overlook the present moment, and the possibilities and potential for growth within the current human state. | <urn:uuid:b9a179ee-eaa8-4dde-a6e9-765ff5530fc0> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://sudalo.medium.com/watch-the-video-e9d7f4339686?source=user_profile---------7---------------------------- | 2024-02-28T05:16:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.959349 | 2,807 |

In lab testing of 49 cosmetic products, Environmental Defence found varying levels of toxic heavy metals in all of them. One contained levels far exceeding Health Canada’s recommended limits, according to the report “Heavy Metal Hazard,” released Monday. None of the products listed the metals on the labels.
“Canadians are not being protected when it comes to contamination in cosmetics,” said Rick Smith, executive director of Environmental Defence. “We focused on heavy metals which are indisputably nasty chemicals that should never be in cosmetics. They are the no-brainers of toxic chemicals.”
The heavy metals detected were not added ingredients but unintentional product contaminants, impurities, and subject to less regulation and disclosure.
The Canadian Cosmetics, Toiletries and Fragrances Association contested the report, stressing that it fails to put its findings into context. “The risk in trace amounts below 10 parts per million is so infinitesimally small it’s irrelevant,” said president Darren Praznik.
“You would literally have to eat – not put on your skin, but eat – pounds and pounds of makeup to get into areas of health concern.”
Praznik pointed out that these are naturally occurring trace amounts that appear in nearly everything and that cosmetics’ guidelines are based on a pharmaceutical standard. “There is nothing extraordinary here or not accounted for by regulation.”
Environmental Defence asked six women to name makeup brands and products they regularily use and added a few of their own suggestions for testing. Products included foundations and blushes, eye makeup and lip tints and glosses.
On average, the products contained four of the eight metals of concern: mercury, arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, nickel, lead, selenium and thallium. Some had impurities from seven metals.
“We were surprised by how widespread the contamination was and that some products were so highly contaminated,” said Smith.
Health Canada has developed draft guidelines for some metal impurity levels that it believes are avoidable. The Environmental Defence report shows that those guidelines need to be tightened and adopted, said Smith. “They have been languishing on a shelf for the past two years.”
Although the guidelines are still being reviewed, said a Health Canada spokesperson in an email, the agency is applying the draft’s limits for impurities in its compliance and enforcement activities.
The products tested largely met these draft guidelines.
But Smith argued that these metals accumulate in the body over time. Heavy metal buildup can cause a wide range of health concerns, including cancer, reproductive and developmental disorders, and neurological problems.
The highest levels of arsenic, cadmium and lead were all found in lip glosses. “Many women are directly ingesting these products as they eat and drink and lick their lips,” Smith said.
For lead, there is no safe exposure level, he said. But 96 per cent of the tested cosmetics contained some level of that metal.
The highest amount of lead, 110 parts per million, was found in Benefit Benetint lip gloss, over 10 times higher than Health Canada’s draft guidelines allow.
Benefit, based in San Francisco, issued a statement Friday that its raw materials are checked for traces of heavy metals to comply with the most stringent regulations and to protect the consumer. It also said the company will “look very closely at the report and assess our own data to eliminate any doubts about the safety of this product.”
The testing found that levels of the metals varied even among similar products. “That’s a clear indication that if manufacturers pay attention, they can dramatically reduce levels easily,” said Smith.
Labelling requirements for cosmetics are full of loopholes, he added. The government could spur companies to rid products of heavy metal contaminants by requiring they list impurities on the labels. “What company wants to list arsenic on their label?” said Smith.
Praznik, the trade group president, said that mandatory labeling of the impurities would create needless consumer concern since the risks are so very small. | <urn:uuid:140536fd-492e-42b6-aa05-5ef31e4bfeb5> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://suhaag.com/lifestyle/entertainment/heavy-metals-found-in-cosmetics/ | 2024-02-28T05:58:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.967166 | 860 |

It can be frustrating when your newly-built zap doesn’t work as expected - or when one of your existing zaps suddenly breaks. While there are many reasons why a specific zap may not work, there are a few easy steps you can take to resolve common issues.
Step 1: Find your zap’s Task History. This will give you more information about the problem so you know how to fix it. Below are the steps to find the task history of a specific zap:
Then go to “Zaps.”
Find the specific zap that isn’t working as expected. Then on the right side of the screen, next to the on/off toggle, click on the down arrow.
This dropdown will give you a few options. Choose “Task History” to see more information about tasks for this zap only.
Step 2: Review the Task History. If the zap is working, you should see a green check mark icon and the word “Success” under the status field . Below is an example Task History showing some of the most common statuses and reasons.
Under Task History, you can use the top toolbar to filter the view. You can sort by specific zaps, statuses and dates to help you locate errors more efficiently.
If most of your tasks have been successful - except for one or two specific leads - these are the two most common issues.
If a lead’s email address is changed, the zap will no longer work for that specific lead. Most programs identify a contact by email address so when the addresses no longer match, the zap will fail only for that lead.
You may have exceeded the number of tasks allowed for a specific period of time. The allowable tasks per day or month will vary based on your Zapier plan. If too many tasks are attempted, Zapier may delay or stop some tasks.
You can also read more about statuses and troubleshooting a broken zap here or watch a video here.
If you see no task history at all, there is likely a connection issue in your first trigger step. Please review this zap’s first step to ensure the app is properly connected.
If you see an unknown error message, we recommend copying and pasting that message into Google to search for more information. This is an easy way to learn more about what that specific error message means - either from Zapier or other users. An error message may look complicated, but a Google search often shows that the issue is easy to fix.

I am trying to test a Netvanta Switch for work. It boots straight into bootstrap mode and does not detect any files on the device. I tried following a guide on a similar post to use xmodem to transfer the firmware onto the device, however I have had no luck getting it to work. I am using tera terms. the unit sn: LBADTN1703AC877. would it be possible to assign an ip to the device through bootstrap then do a tftp transfer? or is xmodem the only way? any help would be greatly appreciated.
Try this, I'm not sure if it will work on a 1534, but it might. It does for most AOS devices.
Configure your host computer with a static IP in a private subnet, for example 192.168.1.20 mask 255.255.255.0
Connect a cable from your computer to the first ethernet port on the device.
Also access the device on the console.
At the bootstrap# prompt type: ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
Test if you can ping 192.168.1.1 from your host computer.
If so, set your host as a TFTP server with the appropriate image in the /tftpboot directory.
From the serial console window type: copy tftp flash

Are you finding the process of obtaining a surety bond near you confusing and time-consuming? With the different types of surety bonds available and all the legal jargon involved, acquiring one can indeed be a daunting task. But don’t worry, we’re here to simplify this process for you and ensure you make informed decisions, without the stress.
Surety bonds are issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles to secure the ownership of your vehicle. If you don’t have sufficient proof of vehicle ownership, you’ll be required to post a surety bond. Below are key facts you need to know about surety bonds:
- They replace an original title if it’s lost
- Assist in registering a vehicle bought without documents
- Involve three parties: The obligee (receiver), the principal (the payor), and the surety (the insurer)
Finding the right bond is crucial for anyone in search of safety and protection in their commitments. It’s important to understand what type of bond you need, check the licensing requirements, decide on your budget, and compare service quality and reputation.
Our purpose at Surety Bonds Co is to streamline your bonding process and offer you the best, personalized service. So, if you’re searching for a ‘title surety bond near me,’ you’re in the right place!
Understanding the Role of a Surety Bond in Vehicle Title
If you’ve ever been stuck in a situation where you’ve paid off your vehicle but face challenges in obtaining the title, or you’ve purchased a vehicle without the proper documents, you’d know how frustrating it can be. This is where a title surety bond comes into play.
What is a Title Surety Bond?
A title surety bond, also known as an auto title bond, is a type of surety bond issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to individuals who lack sufficient proof of vehicle ownership. This bond serves as a guarantee that you, as the owner of the vehicle, will meet all the legal requirements to obtain a clear auto title.
If you’re unable to locate your original vehicle title, a title surety bond can help replace it with a new one. Thus, this bond provides assurance for both the vehicle owner and the DMV that all transactions and obligations related to the vehicle title will be fulfilled.
How a Title Surety Bond Works
A title surety bond acts as a financial guarantee to the DMV and other interested parties that the vehicle is not stolen and that there are no outstanding liens or encumbrances against it.
The bond works as a contract involving three parties – the obligee, the principal, and the surety. If the principal fails to meet the obligations outlined in the bond agreement, the obligee can make a claim against the bond. The surety company then steps in to fulfill the obligations or compensate the obligee, up to the bond’s penal sum.
The Three Parties Involved in Automotive Title Bonds
To understand how a title surety bond works, understand the roles of the three parties involved: the obligee, the principal, and the surety.

The Surety: This is the company that issues the bond, acting as a guarantor of the principal’s obligations. At Surety Bonds Co, we take pride in serving as the surety for many individuals and businesses, providing them with the financial guarantee they need to secure their vehicle titles.

Alternatives to Bonded Titles in Indiana
In some states like Indiana, bonded titles aren’t accepted. However, if you’re in a situation where the title was lost or stolen before you transferred ownership to your name, or you never received a title when you bought your car, there’s an alternative solution – a court order title.
Understanding Court Order Titles in Indiana
A court order title is a special titling circumstance that allows you to establish ownership when you can’t do this through the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles’ (BMVs) standard title application processes. This type of car title enables you to apply for a certificate of title in Indiana. To verify your eligibility for a court order title, you should contact the Indiana BMV. They may provide you with another solution before resorting to a court order.
Steps to Obtain a Court Order Title in Indiana
If you have determined with the Indiana BMV that a court order title is needed, follow these steps to apply:
- Fill out an Indiana Application for Certificate of Title for a Vehicle.
- Obtain a court order from your county clerk of courts office. Once you have your court order, you must complete the rest of the process within 30 days or pay additional fees.
- A law enforcement officer or BMV license branch employee must inspect your vehicle and fill out a Physical Inspection of a Vehicle or Watercraft form.
- Complete the Odometer Disclosure Statement form and the Mobile Home Permit form (if applicable).
- Provide proof of your address. A driver’s license or ID card may be acceptable if it lists your address. Otherwise, use a document on the approved list dated within the last 60 days.
- Pay the title application fees and taxes.
- Mail the complete application for a certificate of title to the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles, Central Office Title Processing.
That this process involves a fair amount of paperwork and steps to follow. It’s crucial to verify all the details with the Indiana BMV and ensure all necessary documents are correctly filled out and sent to the right location within the appropriate time frame.
Once your application is approved, you’ll receive an Indiana certificate of title, proving your vehicle’s ownership.

An Hour of Need
RARELY in American memory had hope and horror been so poignantly fused men’s within a single week. Rarely had men’s actions— voluntary and involuntary— seemed so ineluctably intertwined. President Johnson’s announce ment of a major peace offensive in Asia, coupled with his renunciation of another term, raised anticipation throughout the world that the long agony of Viet Nam might soon be ended.
Even as that hope blossomed, an older blight on the American conscience burst through with the capriciousness of a spring freeze. In Memphis, through the budding branches of trees surrounding a tawdry rooming house, a white sniper’s bullet cut down Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., pre-eminent voice of the just aspirations and long-suffering patience of black America.
The events and personalities had a Sophoclean cast. Lyndon Johnson, the world’s most powerful political leader, abjured his power in the cause of world peace; Martin Luther King, the nation’s most ardent exponent of nonviolent social reform, was violently removed in an act of outrage that at first blush seemed to threaten the onslaught of race war. Yet each in his manner of departure achieved a stature that neither had ever previously attained. King became the canonized leader of his people’s cause; Johnson, about to surrender his political life, gained an unprecedented opportunity to work for accord between the races, within the nation as a whole and in the world beyond.
Easter Shopping. In the aftermath of King’s murder, Lyndon Johnson canceled his plans to fly to Hawaii for consultations with his military and diplomatic advisers on the delicate question of Viet Nam negotiations. Rioting and looting broke out in 62 cities from coast to coast. In manic reaction, the plunderers went about their business in an almost carnival atmosphere. Looting—”early Easter shopping,” as one Harlem resident called it— was the predominant activity, though some ghettos were burned as well.
Great streamers of acrid smoke, drifting from blazing shops in Washington‘s commercial center, twisted among the cherry blossoms near the Lincoln Memorial, where five years earlier Martin Luther King had proclaimed his vision of black and white harmony. Fires crackled three blocks from the White House, and from the air the capital looked like a bombed city. A three-mile reach of Chicago’s Negro West Side erupted in pillage and cataclysmic flames that left an eight-block area in a state of devastation as severe as that of Detroit’s ghetto last summer—yet at first Mayor Richard Daley failed, inexplicably, to impose a curfew. In Harlem, gleeful mobs cavorted and Mayor John Lindsay, though unharmed as he walked among them, was powerless to halt the orgy. Sniping, the most feared of ghetto tactics in summers past, was rare; by week’s end, riot-connected deaths totaled 19 across the nation.
Something of Shame. Swift action by civil authorities, as in Michigan, where Governor George Romney called up 9,000 National Guardsmen and Detroit’s Mayor Jerome Cavanagh clamped down a dusk-to-dawn curfew, and restraint by police in direct confrontations, kept the lid on most communities. Into Washington and Chicago poured 25,000 troops. Baltimore seemed building toward a blowup. “I ask every citizen to reject the blind violence that has struck Dr. King,” said the President. “There is something of shame in this,” declared Vice President Hubert Humphrey. “This nation of law and order, which has its Presidents shot down in cold murder, its spiritual leaders assassinated, and has those who walk and speak and work for human rights beaten and killed —my fellow Americans, every one of us must resolve that we will never, never, never let it happen again.”
In the climate of sorrow and guilt that engulfed most Americans, there was an opening for an accommodation between the races that might otherwise never have presented itself. Lyndon Johnson, looking even graver than he had appeared when he announced his abdication at week’s beginning, called at week’s end for an extraordinary joint session of Congress to hear “the President’s recommendations for action —constructive action instead of destructive action—in this hour of national need.”
It is not enough, Johnson implied, to mourn Martin Luther King. His death demands expiation, as did that of John F. Kennedy. Now, as in November 1963, President Johnson seems determined to strike forcefully at the consciences of all Americans in order to wrest from tragedy and trauma the will to make a better society.
In causation and execution, the murder of Martin Luther King was both a symbol and a symptom of the nation’s racial malaise. The proximate cause of his death was, ironically, a minor labor dispute in a Southern backwater: the two-month-old strike of 1,300 predominantly Negro garbage collectors in the decaying Mississippi river town of Memphis. The plight of the sanitation workers, caused by the refusal of Memphis’ intransigent white Mayor Henry Loeb to meet their modest wage and compensation demands, first attracted and finally eradicated Dr. King, the conqueror of Montgomery, Birmingham and Selma.
Paradoxically, when a Negro riot ensued during his first Memphis march a fortnight ago, and Loeb (along with Tennessee Governor Buford Ellington) responded with state troopers and National Guardsmen, King felt that his nonviolent philosophy had been besmirched and wanted to withdraw. Only at the urging of his aides in the Southern Christian Leadership Conference did he consent to return.
Repairing the Image. King was more concerned with his planned “camp-in” of poverty-stricken Southern Negroes in the nation’s capital, planned for April 22. There, as he wrote in a news release that reached S.C.L.C. supporters the morning after his death, he hoped to “channelize the smoldering rage of the Negro and white poor” in a showdown demonstration of nonviolence. Memphis was supposed to be only a way station toward Washington. Yet when he agreed to continue the Memphis struggle, it was under threat of both death and dishonor.
The Eastern Airlines jet that carried King from Atlanta to Memphis was delayed 15 minutes before takeoff while crewmen checked its baggage for bombs that anonymous callers had warned were aboard. That was nothing particularly unusual for a man whose life had been threatened so often, but when King arrived in Memphis he met a different challenge. Some newspapers had emphasized during the previous week that the prophet of the poor had been staying at the luxurious Rivermont, a Holiday Inn hostelry on the Mississippi’s east bank, which charges $29 a night for a suite. To repair his image, King checked into the Negro-owned Lorraine, a nondescript, two-story cinderblock structure near Memphis’ renowned Beale Street (and conveniently close to the Claiborne Temple on Mason Street, kickoff point and terminus for the sanitation marches). At the Lorraine, King and his entourage paid $13 a night for their green-walled, rust-spotted rooms.
The Fear of Death. Across Mulberry Street from the Lorraine, on a slight rise, stands a nameless rooming house adorned only with a metal awning whose red, green and yellow stripes shade an equally nameless clientele. Into that dwelling—actually two buildings, one for whites, the other for Negroes, and connected by a dank, umbilical hallway—walked a young, dark-haired white man in a neat business suit. “He had a silly little smile that I’ll never forget,” says Mrs. Bessie Brewer, who manages the rooming house. The man, who called himself John Willard, carefully chose Room 5, with a view of the Lorraine, and paid his $8.50 for the week with a crisp $20 bill—another rarity that stuck in Mrs. Brewer’s mind.
Back at the Lorraine, King and his aides were finishing a long, hot day of tactical planning for the next week’s march—one that would be carried out in defiance of a federal district court injunction. In the course of the conference, King had assured his colleagues that, despite death threats, he was not afraid. “Maybe I’ve got the advantage over most people,” he mused. “I’ve conquered the fear of death.” King was well aware of his vulnerability. After the strategy session, King washed and dressed for dinner. Then he walked out of Room 306 onto the second-floor balcony of the Lorraine to take the evening air. Leaning casually on the green iron railing he chatted with his co-workers readying his Cadillac sedan in the dusk below.
“A Stick of Dynamite.” To Soul Singer Ben Branch, who was to perform at a Claiborne Temple rally later that evening, King made a special request: “I want you to sing that song Precious Lord* for me—sing it real pretty.” When Chauffeur Solomon Jones naggingly advised King to don his topcoat against the evening’s chill, the muscular Atlantan grinned and allowed: “O.K., I will.”
Then, from a window of the rooming house across the way, came a single shot. “It was like a stick of dynamite,” recalled one aide. “It sounded like a firecracker, and I thought it was a pretty poor joke,” said another. All of the aides hit the deck. The heavy-caliber bullet smashed through King’s neck, exploded against his lower right jaw, severing his spinal cord and slamming him away from the rail, up against the wall, with hands drawn tautly toward his head. “Oh Lord!” moaned one of his lieutenants as he saw the blood flowing over King’s white, button-down shirt.
His aides tenderly laid towels over the gaping wound; some 30 hard-hatted Memphis police swiftly converged on the motel in response to the shot. In doing so, they missed the assassin, whose weapon (a scope-sighted 30.06-cal. Remington pump rifle), binoculars and suitcase were found near the rooming house. A spent cartridge casing was left in the grimy lavatory. The range from window to balcony: an easy 205 ft.
An ambulance came quickly, and raced him to St. Joseph’s Hospital H miles away. Moribund as he entered the emergency ward, Martin Luther King Jr., 39, was pronounced dead within an hour of the shooting. His death was the twelfth major assassination and the most traumatic in the civil rights struggle since 1963.
South Toward Home. The flurry of Negro outrage that followed the murder in Memphis was conducted mostly by high-spirited youths—and was more than compensated for in solemn grief. As soon as he learned of the shooting, Atlanta’s Mayor Ivan Allen Jr., one of the South’s best-accredited white civil rights advocates, called Mrs. Coretta King—who only last January had undergone major surgery—and arranged a flight to Memphis. At the Atlanta terminal, Allen received word that King had died at the hospital, and he broke the news to the widow in the foyer of the ladies’ rest room. Mrs. King returned to the family’s modest home on the edge of Atlanta’s Vine City, a middle-class Negro neighborhood, where the phone was already ringing with calls from across the country. On hand to help answer was Mrs. Eugene McCarthy, wife of the Minnesota Senator, who had long worked with Mrs. King in ecumenical church affairs. One caller was New York’s Senator Robert Kennedy, who had come to King’s aid in 1960 when he was in jail for his Atlanta sit-ins. R.F.K. promised to send a plane to transport the leader’s body back to Atlanta.
To many whites, the subsequent mourning might have seemed unbearably emotional. In Memphis, before it was carried south toward home, King’s body lay in state at the R. S. Lewis & Sons Funeral Home in an open bronze casket, the black suit tidily pressed, the wound in the throat now all but invisible. Many of those who filed past could not control their tears. Some kissed King’s lips; others reverently touched his face. A few women threw their hands in the air and cried aloud in ululating agony. Mrs. King was a dry-eyed frieze of heartbreak. At the funeral this week, to be attended by many of the nation’s and the world’s great men, her composure will be hard to match.
Highest Priority. For all the sense of personal loss that pervaded the nation with his death, Martin Luther King’s heritage of nonviolence seemed to have endured its architect’s demise. Those who predicted that racial pacifism had passed with him were contradicted last week from Harlem to Watts, in Northern ghettos and Southern grit towns, where black leaders and youths in great numbers took to the tense streets and urged their brothers to “cool it for the Doc.” Mississippi’s Charles Evers curbed a Jackson rising with Kingly oratory. Even such hardcore militants as Harlem Mau Mau Leader Charles 37X Kenyatta and Los Angeles’ Ron Karenga, the shaven-skulled boss of “US,” manned sound trucks and passed resolutions calling for calm. Yet in the unhappy racial climate of the U.S. today, that forbearance could unravel with calamitous speed.
If the murder of Martin Luther King is not to further polarize the racism, both black and white—decried only last month by the President’s riot commission—the nation will have to accept the need for new programs, new laws and new attitudes toward the Negro. As the commission concluded, “There can be no higher priority for national action and no higher claim on the nation’s conscience.”

Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari, on 29 December, inaugurated the first phase of the New Zuari Bridge across River Zuari connecting Bambolim in North Goa to Verna junction in South Goa.
Located on NH-17/NH-66 on Panjim-Mangalore section in the state of Goa, the bridge will reduce the travel time between North and South Goa by minimizing the traffic blockades between the Bambolim-Agasaim-Cortalim-Sancoale to Verna Junction.
The new eight-lane cable-stayed bridge is part of a Rs 2,530 crore project with a total project length of 13.20 km. Under the first phase, the 4-Lane righthand-side corridor of the eight-lane bridge, along with 12 km of approaches from Bambolim to Verna, has been inaugurated.
The entire eight-lane bridge is slated to be completed by 2023 and is expected to ease the traffic on the existing two-lane bridge over the Zuari River that has been a traffic bottleneck for years.
The project will also accelerate the route for people traveling to Margao, Panjim, and Vasco via public transport.
Seven Years In Making
The ambitious project has been executed by the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. The foundation stone of the project was laid down in January 2016 and was initially scheduled to be completed within three years.
The work order was bagged by Bhopal-based Dilip Buildcon Limited (DBL) which has joined hands with a Ukraine based company, Mostobudivelnyi Zahin Limited (MBZ), to construct the cable stay bridge. MBZ’s involvement is to support in design, technical matters and execution.
Dilip Buildcon Limited, which is constructing the new Zuari bridge, has said the entire eight-lane project will be completed by April 2023.
Second Longest Cable Stayed Bridge
The Zuari cable stayed bridge is 640m long with central navigational span of 360m and end span on both sides of 140m. This makes the bridge the second longest and widest cable stay bridge in India.
Zuari cable stayed bridge has 8 (4+4) lanes with 27 m wide dual carriageways and a centre median of 10.7 m. The bridge deck is of composite structure (steel structure and concrete) and has been built on-site using cutting-edge robotic welding technology.
It was then transported by barge into the river, where it is lifted and erected by lifting frames.
Beautifying with two 125-meter-high tourist observatory towers, revolving restaurant, and an art gallery, the iconic bridge will be a major contributor to state tourism.
The state public works department has already floated the tenders for the construction of observatory towers and viewing galleries atop the new Zuari bridge.
Union Minister for Road Transport and Higways, Nitin Gadkari, has said that the towers atop the new eight-lane Zuari bridge are expected to rival the Eiffel tower as an international tourist attraction.

I buy hummus at the grocery store pretty regularly, and J and I have been discussing for awhile how I should just start making it instead of buying it. I’ve thought about it in the past but have always had a hard time finding tahini at my grocery store. Well, instead of trying to traipse all over town trying to find it, I decided that it just might be easier to make it myself (all homemade, y’all!!) and be done with it. When I started searching around for recipes and discovered that it consisted of only TWO ingredients, I felt pretty silly for waiting this long.
I mean, all I need to to do was toast some sesame seeds and toss them in the food processor with some olive oil, and voila! Tahini! And since I made the tahini, check back tomorrow to see the first of the homemade hummus that it was made for! Oh, and don’t buy tahini at the grocery store…ever again. This is just too easy (and inexpensive!) to make at home to be spending God-only-knows-what for the pre-made stuff at the grocery store.
- 1 cup sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp – 1/2 cup olive oil
- Place sesame seeds in a dry pan and toast on low heat for 10 minutes. Stir often and watch carefully – you don’t need much color. Let seeds cool after toasting.
- Place sesame seeds and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a food processor and process until smooth. Scrape down the sides as needed and add more olive oil for desired consistency.
- Keep refrigerated. | <urn:uuid:eeef88cd-df51-4134-a248-dd744077cfe3> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://sweetbeginningsblog.com/tahini-sesame-paste/ | 2024-02-28T06:48:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.963134 | 347 |

So, a sign above an emergency phone says it’s out of service and politely asks that you avoid having a crisis. You couldn’t make this stuff up. While it sounds like a sketch from Monty Python, it actually happened right here, in our seemingly sane world.
You might think the sign is funny—and honestly, who could resist a chuckle? But here’s the kicker: It’s a real issue. Imagine being in a dire situation, heart pounding as you race towards the only available lifeline, only to be greeted by a sign that practically says, “Sorry, mate, find another spot for your drama.” It’s like turning up to a pub desperate for a pint, only to find out they’ve run out of beer and crisps. Devastating, right?
Health & Safety: Not a Punchline
While we’re all for a bit of comic relief, there’s a time and place for humour, and it’s certainly not in the realm of health and safety measures. The situation might be amusing on the surface, but it also serves as a wake-up call. We’ve got to start asking ourselves: How much attention are we really paying to our safety mechanisms?
Joking aside, the ridiculous sign is a red flag that should make us pause and think. This isn’t just about an emergency phone being out of order; it’s a symptom of a bigger issue. It makes you wonder, doesn’t it? If we can’t rely on something as fundamental as an emergency phone, what else might be falling through the cracks?
If you’ve ever thought health and safety inspections are a snooze-fest, think again. This is why they’re important. You can’t cut corners when lives are at stake. It’s high time we stopped hitting the snooze button on this issue and got our act together.
A Final Word, If You’re Still With Me
So yes, the sign is absurd, and we can all have a good laugh about it. But let’s not allow the joke to overshadow the very real, pressing issue at hand. Keep an eye on your surroundings and take note of the emergency protocols in place—or lack thereof. After all, laughter might be the best medicine, but I wouldn’t bank on it during an actual emergency. Trust me; this is one situation where you don’t want to be left holding the punchline. | <urn:uuid:3980aff2-11d3-459e-bd08-57b51acc2aa0> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://synergosconsultancy.co.uk/hs-news-a-laugh-or-a-lifeline/ | 2024-02-28T06:31:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.934831 | 536 |

Most audiences remember without prompting that the 1998 Dean Pitchford and Walter Bobbie musical Footloose is an adaptation of the 1984 Kevin Bacon movie. A city slicker arrives in a small town that has banned dancing, wins over the authority figures, and all ends happily.
In the exuberant production now running through July 29 at Cortland Repertory Theatre, it feels instead like an uncredited rewriting of the much earlier musical Bye, Bye Birdie, except that the parents are no longer star-struck. At a time when the opioid epidemic is ravaging small-town America, it’s comforting to remember that the greatest threat to the Protestant order was once imagined to be rock’n’roll.
Despite the resolvable tension in the plot, the central story could be mistaken for an early legend or folktale. Ren McCormack (Dan Lusardi), a handsome, blond youth who loves music, arrives in a repressive burg and has to engage in a contest with the local power center, Rev. Shaw Moore (Michael Jones), in order to win his daughter, Ariel (Haley McCormick), a beautiful princess. Along the way he dispatches a bully, Chuck (Aaron Jacobs), and befriends an amiable hayseed in one-strapped bib overalls, Willard (Phil Sloves), who quickly morphs into a reliable comic sidekick.
As this is a musical, necessarily about dancing, we must be introduced to two hosts of supporting players, none of whom become especially rounded but provide segues in how the musical numbers will proceed. One team is made up of elders, starting with the reverend’s sympathetic wife Vi (Ms. Jeremy Parker), coach Roger Dunbar (Tanner Efinger) and his wife Eleanor (Lilli Komurek), as well as the one comic adult, school principal Harriet Clark (Nancy Kane). Additionally, Ren’s mother Ethel (company favorite Rebecca McGraw) can sing with the elders. They establish early that the reverend and his cohorts are not the harsh faces of the Christian right, heirs of Puritanism.
Instead, they are only thinking of public safety, after dance-loving youths followed a night of boozing and rocking with smashing their car on a bridge, killing them all. So the second number in the first act, “On Any Sunday” links the reverend, Ren and Ethel. Soon Vi, Ethel and even Ariel support the prevailing ethos in “Learning to be Silent.” Long before we get to the inevitable confrontation, we are encouraged to align with the reverend’s anxiety in his heartfelt solo, “Heaven Help Me.” And the thematic center of the show comes with Vi’s solo, “Can’t You Find It In Your Heart,” with actress Parker seizing the moment.
Meanwhile, the majority of the 25-person cast is mobilizing for what looks like a youth rebellion. Comic relief Willard travels with a bumptious girlfriend, Rusty (Helen Regula), who comes as part of a trio of singers, along with Urleen (McKena Silva) and Wendy Jo (Caiti Marlowe), a small-town white version of The Supremes. We hear what they can do in the first act’s “Somebody’s Eyes.”
Like many shows based on movies, there are many abrupt changes of scenes when we, in effect, jump cut between the kids and the elders. Director Mark Reynolds, a SUNY Cortland faculty member, and scenic designer Scott Holdredge have adroitly dealt with this issue. They place four screens upstage at oblique angles, on which the images change in an instant. In the Moore home we have a shot from outside and another in the reverend’s study. At the high school we see a row of yellow lockers and one close-up of a combination lock. This leaves most of the stage wide open for the many dance numbers, exuberantly choreographed by Clare Cook.
Overriding the cultural politics is a love story, well-served by attractive and talented leads, Dan Lusardi and Haley McCormick. Neither has appeared in Cortland before, and both have come north for this production from North Carolina’s Elon University, also a major pipeline for the rest of the cast.
While Lusardi never intends to mimic Kevin Bacon, he’s slight and open-faced, the perfect hero to send against a bully. He’s also a light-footed dancer who can leap like a gymnast. He triumphs in his two big solos, “I Can’t Stand Still” and “Dancing is Not a Crime.”
As the free-spirited Ariel (the name is from Shakespeare’s The Tempest), McCormick has begun her rebellion before Ren arrives. She makes this evident early on in her brassy version of “Holding Out for a Hero.”
Despite being nominally a rock musical, Footloose draws from five different composers (including Kenny Loggins, Eric Carmen and Sammy Hagar), well-served by music director Christopher Blasting. The vibrant score could have pleased Alan Lerner and Frederick Loewe in their heydays.

- The Georgia VFC Program has not been allocated any 317 funded RSV vaccines for uninsured/underinsured adults.
The Georgia VFC Program will need to cap the number of Beyfortus doses VFC providers can request to 20 doses. VFC Providers can request less than 20 doses, but the amount needs to be an increment of 5 doses.
- Beyfortus-50 is now turned on in GRITS for VFC supplied requests.
- CDC anticipates additional RSV MAB to arrive at McKesson depots every 2-3 weeks.
ACTION REQUIRED: Please update your vaccine preferences in GRITS before ordering. Otherwise, your clinics may not see the Beyfortus products.
Friendly reminder: Clinics can place VFC vaccine requests, in GRITS, every 14 days. Clinics will need to submit an inventory on hand count in GRITS if placing an order 14 days from their last submission. | <urn:uuid:2ee58d29-8eec-42f6-b0c0-45e1cfd04833> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://t.e2ma.net/message/wejbas/87hrknk | 2024-02-28T05:10:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.878055 | 278 |
Measurements of elastic moduli of pharmaceutical compacts: A new methodology using double compaction on a compaction simulator
June 1, 2012, midnight
Remove from favorites
Add to favorites
The compaction process heavily relies on the elastic properties of pharmaceutical powders. Young's modulus (E) and Poisson's ratio (v) are key parameters representing the elastic behavior. However, as the powder bed density changes during compaction, it becomes crucial to determine the moduli in relation to porosity. This research introduces a novel approach to ascertain E and v as functions of porosity through double compaction in an instrumented compaction simulator. Precompression is employed to shape the compact, with elastic properties measured at the onset of the main compaction. By monitoring axial and radial pressure, along with powder bed thickness, E and v can be established as functions of porosity. Two excipients, microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and anhydrous calcium phosphate (aCP), were examined. The measured E values closely align with those from the traditional three-point bending test. Poisson's ratio for aCP was approximately 0.24, exhibiting minimal variations with porosity, while for MCC, it increased from 0.23 to 0.38 with decreasing porosity. Therefore, the conventional assumption of a 0.3 ν value for pharmaceutical powders should be approached cautiously. | <urn:uuid:4c9d548a-04c4-4d58-90af-459d1bd42bf7> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://tabletingtechnology.com/papers/measurements-of-elastic-moduli-of-pharmaceutical-compacts-a-new-methodology-using-double-compaction-on-a-compaction-simulator/ | 2024-02-28T06:01:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.932549 | 287 |
PPC marketing has long been one of the best ways to grow your business as a small company. You can quickly get visitors to your website to make sales for new products to improve your brand awareness. Believe it or not, PPC ads can increase your brand awareness by up to 80%.
Unfortunately, it’s easy to make simple mistakes in your marketing efforts that cause you to waste your budget. Avoid the common PPC ad campaign mistakes below to get a better return on your money.
Not Understanding Your Audience
Your target audience plays a critical role in your PPC campaign. You can’t throw up generic text and images and expect people to click your ads. You’ll seriously hurt your sales if you don’t write an ad that appeals to your target demographic.
You can’t start a PPC campaign without first understanding the people who will buy. Create audience personas that detail as much information as possible to figure this out.
You’ll use this information in every step of your marketing efforts. It will help you create better headlines, landing pages, and product descriptions that will appeal to people and convince them to buy.
Using One Ad
It’s a mistake to put all your time and effort into one ad creative and run with that. When you do this, you’re making a big bet, and that bet may not pay off.
When you first start, it makes more sense to create as many ad creatives as possible. You’ll create several ads for each of your audience personas and run those ads all at once.
Your goal is to gather data about each ad variation to see which one works. Once you have your best-performing ads, you can cut the losers and focus on the messaging that gets the best results.
Not Experimenting With Other Formats
You can get far by only working with traditional PPC ads. It will work great at providing a return on your money, so it’s tempting to settle for what you have and not branch out.
However, doing this will limit your growth opportunities. There are many other PPC ad formats you can take advantage of and use to grow your business.
Take bumper ads, for instance. These are video ads placed at the beginning of YouTube videos. Video content is a great way to promote your brand and show people in video form why your product is worth buying.
Not Testing a Profitable Campaign More
It’s hard work to find an ad campaign that works. You may spend a lot of money testing ads until you start seeing a return on investment. It’s easy to take the safe route when this happens and stick with what works.
However, there is often much more you can do to optimize profitable ads. You’re losing money if you don’t continue testing your successful ads to increase your conversion rate.
You can split test everything from your ad copy to your landing pages. Make small changes to your text and page design to see if any of those changes produce better results.
The more profit you can squeeze from your ad budget, the better position your company will be in the future.
Having a Weak Call to Action
It’s already challenging to get a customer to click on your ad. Getting them to take action and purchase something from your business is even more challenging.
Many ad creators make the mistake of pushing people to a landing page and leaving potential customers to figure things out for themselves. They do a great job promoting a product but fail to tell someone what action to take next.
A call to action is what helps you do that. You’ll tell a visitor to sign up for an email list, give your company a call, or go to a product page to buy something. Test your call to action to find the best way to convert a visitor into a customer.
Not Monitoring Successful Campaigns
A successful ad campaign isn’t work-free once you get it up and running. Even if an ad sees success right now and produces profit, that doesn’t mean things won’t change in the future.
Ad blindness is something you’ll need to deal with in the future. Eventually, people will be able to spot your ad and will ignore it if it shows up too often, and that will lead to lower returns.
You may need to eventually cut and replace successful campaigns to avoid this problem. Even small changes to your copy can help, so constantly monitor your ads to look for downward ROI trends.
Ignoring Quality Scores
Google has quality scores that indicate how well you create your ads and landing pages. You get a score in your ad manager, so make sure you understand what your score is and what it means for your ads.
If you have a low score, you may have a more challenging time getting your ads in front of customers. There are also times when low-quality ads will cost more and use more of your marketing budget.
Look at your ad partners’ quality guidelines, optimize your ads to meet those guidelines, and get a great quality score.
Don’t Make the Common PPC Ad Campaign Mistakes
You’re going to spend a lot of money on your PPC ad campaign. Unfortunately, a small business owner has a lot to learn when starting with paid ads. If you make one mistake, it can wreck your conversion rates and waste your marketing budget.
Luckily, there are many common mistakes you can avoid to increase your chances of a successful campaign. Keep the errors above in mind to create the best PPC campaign you can.

Importance of a wide fabric hem
A wide fabric hem is essential for many reasons. Not only does it add a finished look to your project, but it also helps reduce the risk of your fabric catching on things while you’re wearing it. And if you’re ever in a bind and need to quickly sew up a hole in your shirt, having a wide hem will definitely come in handy. Here are four tips to help you hand sew a wide fabric hem without any problems:
1. Choose the right thread color
When hand sewing a wide fabric hem, it’s important to use the right thread color. You don’t want the hem to show through, so choose a light color that won’t be too noticeable. Dark colors can make the seam difficult to see.
2. Make sure your needle is sharp
A sharp needle is key when hand sewing a wide fabric hem. If the needle isn’t sharp, it’ll be difficult to stitch through the fabric and create a strong seam. Keep an eye on your needle’s point as you go, and make sure it’s always staying sharp.
3. Take your time
One of the biggest mistakes people make when hand sewing a wide fabric hem is rushing
Cutting your fabric with safety shears
Sewing with safety shears is essential for anyone sewing with wide fabrics. Improperly cutting fabric can lead to cuts that are difficult or impossible to heal, which can result in a sloppy seam and a ruined garment. Follow these tips to ensure safe and accurate cutting:
1. Cut through the fabric at the fold line, not the actual fabric.
2. Use even pressure when cutting; do not jerk the fabric or repeatedly press down on the blade.
3. If the blade slips, STOP and check your work; if it’s still unsafe, replace the blade and try again.
4. Make sure you have a clean, straight edge to guide the blade.
Making your hem allowance
When hemming a wide fabric, you may find that your hem allowance is different from what you are used to. Here are three tips for hemming a wide fabric without using hems:
1. Cut the fabric at the seam allowances and fold each piece in half. Mark the folded edge with a pencil.
2. Sew the two marked edges together, leaving a 1-inch seam allowance. Trim the seam allowance to 1/4 inch.
3. Turn the piece right side out and press the seams open.
Sewing the wide fabric hem
The wide fabric hem is one of the most common sewing tasks. It’s simple to do and can add a touch of elegance to your garment. Here are instructions on how to sew a wide fabric hem without any hems.
1) Cut the fabric in half along the selvage (the thin edge at the top and bottom of the fabric).
2) Fold each half of the fabric in half, so that the selvages are still visible. Now press the folded edges together well.
3) Sew a ½-inch seam allowance down one side of the folded fabric. Trim off the excess Fabric seam allowance.
4) Turn right-side out and press well. Topstitch close to edge of folded Fabric seam allowance, being sure not to sew through fold.
Finishing Your Hem
There are many ways to hand sew a wide fabric hem without hemming tape or a hemming machine. Here are four methods:
1. Start by tracing the outline of your hem on to the fabric. Use a pencil or ruler to make sure your outline is accurate.
2. Cut the fabric along the traced line with a sharp pair of scissors. Be careful not to cut too close to the edge of the fabric – you’ll need enough fabric for a finished hem width of 1-inch (2.5 cm).
3. Turn the piece so that the raw edge is facing up and line up the newly cut edge with the original traced line on your fabric. Pin in place, then use a zigzag stitch or another type of straight stitch to sew the two edges together.
4. Trim any excess fabric away from the seam, then turn your hemmed piece right-side out and press it gently with a hot iron. Hemming tape may be used to finish off this edge if desired. | <urn:uuid:54d6631f-062c-4992-bfa4-7ceab54d98a2> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://tachure.com/2022/08/30/how-to-hand-sew-a-wide-fabric-hem-without-hems/ | 2024-02-28T06:34:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.892967 | 910 |

How to Use It
Rainbow moonstone is a type of feldspar that exhibits a unique play of color. The stone is named for its iridescent sheen, which is caused by light reflecting off of inclusions within the gem. Rainbow moonstone is found in Sri Lanka, India, and Madagascar.
Rainbow moonstone has been used in jewelry for centuries. The stone was popular during the Art Deco period, when it was often used in beaded or filigree settings. Today, rainbow moonstone is enjoying a renaissance in popularity, with many designers using it in modern and contemporary styles of jewelry.
The most distinctive characteristic of rainbow moonstone is its play-of-color effect. Also known as labradorescence, this optical phenomenon appears as flashes of iridescent colors that seem to shift and change within the gemstone itself.
The colors are created by light interference; when white light strikes the surface of the stone, some waves reflect off the surface while others pass through the stone and strike inclusions beneath the surface. These waves then reflect back up through the stone, causing the colors you see.
The type of inclusions found in rainbow moonstone can vary, but they are typically platelets of hematite or other minerals. The size, shape, and spacing of the inclusions determine the intensity and type of color play that is seen.
For example, if the inclusions are large and well-spaced, you will see a strong effect with lots of bright colors. If the inclusions are small and close together, you will see a softer effect with more pastel colors. The best quality stones have a strong color play with vivid hues.
Rainbow moonstone is a relatively soft gemstone, registering between 6 and 6.5 on the Mohs scale of hardness. Because it is not as hard as some other types of jewelry stones, it needs to be handled with care to avoid scratching or chipping. It is also important to protect the stone from sharp blows, as a hard impact can cause cracks or break the stone entirely.
Rainbow moonstone is a beautiful and versatile stone that can be used in a variety of jewelry styles. Whether you are looking for a unique piece of vintage jewelry or a modern update to your wardrobe, rainbow moonstone is definitely worth considering.

Welcome to Talent Tech Labs Lookback. We spend a lot of time exploring the Talent Acquisition Ecosystem and Marketplace and while every TTL Trends Report focuses on a different theme, we occasionally like to look back at some of our greatest hits.
The Top Priority for Effective Recruiting Leaders
George LaRocque is recognized as one of the top HR influencers and global thought leaders. He founded InfluenceHR, which is the industry’s first ever marketing symposium focused on helping HR Technology companies more effectively engage the HR Buyer. Connect with George on Twitter at @glarocque.
Editorial Note: George Larocque is now with HRWins. At the time of this report, he was with InfluenceHR.
Corporate talent acquisition is one of the fastest-changing HR segments. Candidate behavior and technology used to find and engage candidates are changing at breakneck speed. It can be a challenge to keep up on the trends, technologies and approaches to sourcing, recruiting and engaging candidates—even for industry analysts.
In the midst of all of that change, one constant shines as a beacon for both recruiting leaders and recruiting technologists alike: employee referrals are the best source of hires. Commitment to an effective employee referral strategy and program, as well as supporting technologies, remains one of the most important priorities for talent acquisition.
Here are five reasons employers of all sizes are implementing and/or re-thinking employee referral programs:
1. Source of Quality Candidates
Employee referrals are up to 14 times more likely to be hired than candidates from other sources. They also stay employed at the hiring firm up to 46% longer than employees that came from other sources.
2. Source of Hire
Employee referrals outpace the closest source of hire by nearly 2:1. Employee referrals are also hired 55% faster than other sources.
3. Internal Mobility
Companies are filling nearly 42% of their open positions internally. The effort to communicate open positions to employees is, by definition, the first point of engagement for both generating employee referrals and internal moves.
4. Employer Brand Advocacy
Employers are increasingly realizing that mobilization of employment brand advocates is a powerful force in competing for talent both locally and globally. Employee referral programs empower the workforce to communicate and share the benefits of working for and with their employers.
5. Increased Performance of Freelance Hiring
As the on-demand economy continues to grow significantly, the demand for freelance workers is growing exponentially. Research shows that referrals can also accelerate freelance hiring, leading to faster acquisition and better performance among freelance work
Clearly, employee referral tech is evolving and being used throughout the industry. Larocque discusses its popularity and the reasons why employers of all sizes are implementing it. Inspired yet?

Posted 20 January 2023
Last week we wrote that markets were rising because bad economic news was good news in terms of lessening concerns over interest rate rises beyond what is already expected and therefore priced in. This week, various economic data releases in the US painted a very clear picture of a slowing US economy, from declining Christmas retail sales to industrial production. Even though this pushed long-term bond yields down further, and had inflation expectations decline to a very benign 2%, markets this time took the bad news negatively, giving back some of the gains of the previous week.
December’s bad report card may have more to do with the exceptional cold spell that hit much of the US, then an acceleration of the growth slowdown. Even so, investors clearly began to worry that the other key variable in equity valuations (future corporate profits) was about to come under more sustained downward pressure.
This tells us that markets may well have run out of positive momentum, and that it will be a tough ask for US markets to push higher on the back of receding rate rise fears only. In Europe and even the UK on the other hand, where macroeconomic data continues to come out ‘not as bad as feared’ but with price inflation also receding, stock markets had a much better week, even if the FTSE100 has still not managed to break through its all-time high it has neared over the past two weeks.
There was more good news globally. China says it is past the peak in Covid-related hospitalisations. Hong Kong authorities are even telling people with asymptomatic Covid infections to return to work. Ahead of the coming week’s Lunar New Year celebrations, travelling has picked up to near normal levels. More and more research houses are pointing towards the increasing likelihood that China’s re-opening will result in a similar growth surge as the western world experienced back in the spring of 2021, except with even more pent-up demand and cumulative savings in the hands of consumers after three years of harshly restricted public life.
This is where good economic news can turn into bad news again, because for energy and input prices to continue to fall, this resurgent demand must not have more than a minor impact on energy prices (see our separate article about falling producer input prices). Expectations of a more benign impact on global energy may not be an entirely unreasonable expectation given Russia’s efforts in re-routing unsellable fossil fuels eastwards.
Turning to this week’s annual World Economic Forum gathering of the world’s movers and shakers in Davos, on Thursday, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweal, Director General of the World Trade Organisation, gave a rather downbeat assessment of global trade prospects. She warned of the problems created by “securing” supply chains. Certainly, justifying subsidies because of security concerns is a slippery slope. The US Inflation Reduction Act has myriad subsidies that concern its European trade partners. Europe’s response is likely to be more subsidies, which creates problems both internally and externally.
But before we get too worried about further deterioration in global trade, we should note that the meeting between US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and her Chines counterpart Liu He seemed to go well, with cordial – even friendly – dialogue. As we have commented before, China has of late performed not just a turnaround on Covid, it has also started to be a less annoying neighbour. In the vein of “no news”, there have been no Taiwan provocations in the weeks following last year’s Party Congress.
To close this week then, globally there is not very much news, which is good news in itself. We have become inured to bouts of cataclysm – natural and political – with journalists becoming celebrities themselves. It has felt rather boring of late as the economic reality outside the UK has simply plodded on. Since October, there has just been less news. This reduces the pricing of risk premia globally, and feeds back into a better investment environment. So, no news is good news….for now. | <urn:uuid:b43abaad-b482-4ca1-9a59-e107565fa754> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://tattoninvestments.com/slowing-growth-throws-markets-into-a-bind/ | 2024-02-28T05:42:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.968163 | 855 |
Some Americans have extreme plans this weekend. A religious leader named Harold Camping has convinced them the end of the world starts at 6 p.m. ET Saturday.
Most of the world's faithful do not believe the date is Judgment Day. But as CBS News correspondent Bill Whitaker reports, it seems just about everyone's seen the signs about the end of the world.

I’ve heard it said a million times before, and I’ve especially heard it from Trevor (Brazile): A short memory is one of the keys to success in team roping (and rodeo in general).
Hope T. and I have been on the road for about a month now teaching schools, and we’ve been working on the fundamentals in just the right way. It seems like we talk about swing, horsemanship, scoring, etc. so much that there’s no way we could possibly ever mess up any of this stuff on our own.
Ha, wrong. We got to compete last weekend at the World Series of Team Roping’s Wiley Hicks Jr. Memorial. It was a blast, and we both turned some nice steers, but we just didn’t have any luck. But that’s team roping.
I’ve had great weekends, and I’ve had some weekends that just weren’t all that great. But this past weekend was fun, regardless. I’ve got to have a short memory about what happened in the arena, but the stuff that will stick with me was the great time it was.
Friday night before the roping, we had a feast at my great friends’ Todd and Carla Hughes’ place with a whole crew, including my favorite photographer Gabe and Stephanie Wolf of Lone Wolf Photography.
My family was all in town, and I’ll tell you what, after a whole month on the road, to have so many people I love in one place was really something. I got to ride a young horse King brought from Abilene that had been off while I’d been gone. I made progress on him, and we all had fun roping and even more fun eating. (If anyone asks where to get the best steak in Texas, I tell them my house. But the truth is that Todd can grill and MAYBE has me beat… Maybe.) And Carla? I get tired watching her cook but I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of that cooking. Dang, that banana pudding… It’s safe to say it’s King’s favorite.
So the lesson, of course, is have a short memory as far as the bad goes. But the good stuff? Don’t overlook it and never consider a weekend spent with those you love, doing what you love, a loss. Dang that was fun. | <urn:uuid:03146d88-d1d7-4c18-9bee-c20db7f3356c> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://teamropingjournal.com/uncategorized/short-memories-16116/ | 2024-02-28T06:22:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.97847 | 522 |

New Delhi: The hazards of not reopening schools after prolonged closure due to the Covid pandemic are “too serious to be ignored”, according to a parliamentary panel. The committee has noted that the closure of schools has not only impacted social fabric of families in a negative manner, it has also increased involvement of children in household chores.
“The closure of schools for over a year has had a deep impact on the wellbeing of students, especially their mental health. The hazards of not opening the schools are too serious to be ignored. The confinement of young children within the four walls of the house, being unable to attend school, has altered the relationship between the parent and the children adversely. The closure of schools has impacted the social fabric of the family in negative manner leading to early/child marriage and increased involvement of children in household chores. The present situation has exacerbated the learning crisis that existed even before the pandemic with the marginal and vulnerable children getting adversely affected. Keeping this situation in mind, it becomes all the more imperative to open schools,” the panel noted.
This week, the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Education, Women, Children, Youth and Sports tabled in Parliament its report “Plans to bridge the learning gap caused due to school lockdown as well as review of online and offline instructions and exams and plans for reopening of schools” headed by Vinay P Sahsrabudhe. The seriousness of the matter should not be overlooked and a well balanced reasoned view may be taken for opening up of the schools, the panel said.
Accentuating vaccine programmes for all students, teachers and allied staff so that schools may start functioning normally at the earliest; holding classes on alternate days or in two shifts to thin out students along with observance of physical distancing and compulsory wearing of face masks at all times, frequent hand sanitisation etc; regular thermal screening at the time of attendance and conducting random RT-PCR tests to identify and isolate any infected student, teacher or staff immediately, are among the recommendations for reopening of schools made by the panel.
“Each school should have at least two oxygen concentrators with trained personnel to address any eventuality and provide first aid till availability of outside medical help. Frequent surprise inspection of schools may be done by health inspectors and health workers to ensure strict adherence to hygiene and Covid protocols, the panel said. “Best practices being followed in different countries for opening of schools may be taken into consideration for taking an informed decision,” it said.
The panel has also noted that the learning loss of more than one year due to prolonged school closure in wake of the pandemic would necessarily have weakened the foundational knowledge of students, especially in the subjects of mathematics, sciences and languages, at school level. “This learning loss is a big deficit and is likely to impair the cognitive capabilities of students,” the panel said in its report tabled in Parliament on Friday.
“This might have a debilitating effect on vulnerable sections of the society like poor and rural students, marginalised sections of society and young women who might have been unable to connect to any form of digital education during the pandemic. This needs to be addressed and immediate remedial steps required to be taken,” the report said.
Schools across the country were closed in March last year ahead of nationwide lockdown to contain spread of novel coronavirus. While few states began partially reopening schools in October last year, they had to again order school closure in view of the aggressive second wave of COVID-19 in April-May.

OUR COMMITMENT TO BE IN HARMONY WITH THE REVEALED NAME OF THE CHURCH:
President Russell M. Nelson of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints released the following statement regarding the name of the Church.
"The Lord has impressed upon my mind the importance of the name He has revealed for His Church, even The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We have work before us to bring ourselves in harmony with His will."
The Nauvoo Gallery has been working to put our website and our gallery store in Nauvoo, Illinois in harmony with this important revelation. It’s been customary for websites like ours to use terms like LDS Art, LDS Temple Art, LDS pictures or Mormon Art when describing our products for Google and other search engines. Our intention has been to help people find what has been termed as LDS products & LDS Gifts. It took many many months to build and add products to this website using those relevant and popular search terms - please bear with us as we still find each instance where we can better be in harmony with President Nelson’s message.

TL;DR Using a time step whose decimal representation isn’t exactly representable in binary may lead to confusion over how much total time has elapsed in a computer simulation. It may be worth discussing in class, or worthy of an investigative or inquiry activity.
Sometimes, a problem comes up repeatedly over the years and every time I “discover” it I have to search for the resources I used last time to explain the problem. I’m writing this post mainly as a collection of thoughts and resources to which I can refer students when this issue inevitably arises again. The particular problem I describe here probably isn’t a huge one, and indeed I can’t recall any of my own students ever raising it. It’s something that I notice every semester when I’m introducing computation.
So here’s the problem. Say you want to simulate a physical system for a total duration of 1 s of time, and you decide to use a time step of 1/10 of a second, 0.1 s. So you write a GlowScript program to carry out your simulation. Your code might look something like this example, presented in Trinket so you can experiment with the code.
Again, you want to simulate a physical system for a total duration of 1 s with a time step of 0.1 s, which means your simulation should perform ten loops. Now, look at the program’s output. The loop executed eleven, not ten, times, and the simulation apparently lasted for 1.1 s, which is not what you wanted to have happen. So, you decide to decrease the time step by, say, a factor of ten, making it 0.01 s. Modify the code in the Trinket above to reflect this change and run it to see what happens. You should see that the program now works as intended, with the loop executing one hundred times for a total of 1 s of elapsed simulated time. Feeling emboldened, you lengthen the total duration to 10 s. Again, modify the code and run it again to see what happens. This time you should find that the loop executes not one thousand times as expected, but one thousand one times and the simulation lasted for not 10 s, but 10.01 s. What’s going on here?
It seems that sometimes the choices of step size and total elapsed time give the results we expect and sometimes they don’t. This issue recently resurfaced on the GlowScript user forum hosted on Google Groups. As both Bruce Sherwood and Harlan Gilbert point out, the problem is that internally, floating point numbers can’t always be exactly represented in binary. Both Sherwood and Gilbert propose solutions.
One of Sherwood’s solutions is to modify the while loop’s criterion to account for the “fuzziness” of the internal representation of floating point numbers. Here’s a Trinket illustrating this solution.
Experiment with this solution to see if you find a combination of time step and total elapsed time that doesn’t match the obvious expectations.
Harlan Gilbert proposes a solution in which one uses time steps that are exactly represented in binary. Specifically, this means time steps that are reciprocal integer powers of two. Here’s a Trinket illustrating this solution.
Once again, experiment with different settings for the power of two in the line defining deltat. Students may be interested in seeing that, for example, 1/8 s (0.125 s) works as expected, but decreasing that value by a factor of ten to 1/80 s (0.0125 s) doesn’t!
If I were to discuss this issue in class (and I’m not saying we should bring it up unless or until a student “discovers” it), I think I would first tend to use Sherwood’s solution, simply because it allows for more traditional changes in step size without having to worry about integer powers of two. I also don’t know whether or not I would intentionally bring this issue up because I worry that it might be a distraction. On the other hand, it’s a real issue that students should know about and understand sooner or later.
As always, feedback is welcome. | <urn:uuid:208a0fb3-824f-4ba9-bd3e-013100a2ae20> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://tensortime.sticksandshadows.net/archives/5320 | 2024-02-28T04:58:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.924234 | 891 |
This function block controls a button or switch in an HMI, which can be assigned a text as well as state-dependent colors and bitmaps.
The input bShow is used to show or hide the HMI object. It is enabled with a HIGH signal on the input bEnable and disabled with a LOW signal. The inputs iENBmp, iEPBmp, iDNBmp and iDPBmp are used to assign background bitmaps for the button states “normal”, “pressed”, “disabled” and “disabled + pressed”. A label is assigned via the inputs iText or sText. With iText a language specific text resource is selected. The plain text that is connected to sText is displayed if iText is not connected or the parameter value “undefined” is assigned to it. The language of the used bitmap and text resources is specified at input iLang.
Depending on the type selection in the parameter dialog the pressing of the button or the state of the switch is written to the output bPress. If the type is “Button (signal on button down)” or “Button (signal on button up)” then the output bPress changes for one program cycle from LOW to HIGH after the button is pressed. If the object is a switch then HIGH is output in the states “pressed” and “disabled + pressed”. In the other states LOW is written to bPress.
The HMI object displays a button or a switch. It can be labeled with a text and state dependent bitmaps.
If the alignment is set to „Bitmap and Text centered” then large pictures can conceal the edges of the button. Other shapes can be easily assigned with the help of this feature, e.g. flat buttons or check boxes.
If a font with anti-aliasing is used, in addition to the foreground color, several gradations up to the background color are used to smooth out edges during text output. If the resulting glimmering of the background color interferes when the text is displayed over the bitmap, it is recommended to change the background color or to choose a font without anti-aliasing.
The mask designer is called as the parameter dialog via the context menu of the block. An HMI object of the type "Bitmap Button / Switch" is assigned to the block by creating or selecting it. With the checkbox in the lower left corner you can switch between global and instanceable assignment.
Default settings for the HMI object are made in the corresponding dialog, which appears after "Additional settings …". Here, the type selection determines whether the object is a button or a switch. A button is only pressed as long as the mouse button is pressed. The button returns to normal state when the mouse button is released. A switch persists after the first pressing in the state “pressed” and changes only after another use back to normal state. Furthermore, two button types are distinguished. One writes an edge to the output of the function block when the button is pressed and the other when it is released.
The state dependent background and text colors, the font as well as the default values for the bitmaps and the texts and their alignment are configured in the dialog. A language specific text resource or a plain text can be assigned to label the button.
Name | I/O | Type(s) | Function |
sText | I | TEXT, DYNTEXT | Plain text |
iText | I | WORD | Text resource (ID) |
iEPBmp | I | WORD | Bitmap resource (ID) – pressed |
iENBmp | I | WORD | Bitmap resource (ID) – normal |
iDPBmp | I | WORD | Bitmap resource (ID) – disabled + pressed |
iDNBmp | I | WORD | Bitmap resource (ID) – disabled |
bShow | I | BIT | Show/hide object |
bEnable | I | BIT | Enable/disable |
iLang | I | WORD | Language resource (ID) |
bPress | O | BIT | Button pressed or switch state |
Note: If inputs are not connected the object appears with the corresponding default parameters that have been entered in the mask designer. Otherwise the input signal from the function block overwrites the according setting from the parameter dialog.
The assignment of the HMI object is displayed in the block by the color of the text boxes. A yellowish background indicates a global assignment. If the assignment is instanceable, the background is white. And at missing or incorrect assignment it is red. | <urn:uuid:6cb58d4a-d785-43cd-bcbc-782d3ca58d7e> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://testcon.info/FB_EN_Bitmap-Taste-Schalter.html | 2024-02-28T06:48:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474697.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228044414-20240228074414-00301.warc.gz | en | 0.843624 | 980 |
