GRUDGE on Netflix is a new mystery thriller from Turkey (org. title Kin). While it does run a bit long, it also has a lot going for it. Lots of twists and turns – and also a few red herrings meant to steer you astray. Read our full Grudge movie review here!
GRUDGE is a Netflix thriller with crime and mystery as additional subgenres. This is a Turkish production, but it could just as easily have been Spanish. The production quality is impressive and the twists and turns along the way certainly reminded me of a few Spanish movies.
WANT A GREAT TURKISH NETFLIX PRODUCTION
While you probably won’t guess everything ahead of time, I’m sure many will guess at least a few elements. The only real issues with this thriller are the long runtime and its flair for the melodramatic. It does go a bit overboard in a few places. But hey, the story also pulls at a few heartstrings, so it makes sense.
Continue reading our Grudge movie review below and find it on Netflix now.
Disclaimer: Grudge has the original Turkish title Kin and is not affiliated with The Grudge which had the original Japanese title of Ju-on. Just to get that settled since the two plots have nothing in common!
I am not a fan of false clues
Look, I enjoy a good mystery as much as the next person. However, I do not care for being lied to which – in my opinion – is essentially what happens when false clues are given. You can show me lots of things that I can interpret as I see fit, but if you directly tell me something (whether by words or visuals), then I’ll accept it as fact.
That’s why I do get rather irritated when those red herrings are a big part of the mystery in Grudge. Obviously, they are only meant to steer you astray as the person trying to solve a mystery. It just isn’t as efficient or intelligent as it can be.
Especially when it also runs a bit long and you discover that part of the story has been a red herring meant to deceive you. Sorry not sorry, it’s just a pet peeve of mine.
Having said that, I am very impressed with the overall storyline and the deep (as well as often dark) issues covered in Grudge. Most of them having to do with wanting to find a person to punish rather than necessarily the guilty person.
Unfortunately, this rings true in the real world as well – as has been the topic of several true crime documentaries.
The ending of Grudge on Netflix
Just a few quick words about the ending of the Netflix movie Grudge here. First of all, this isn’t one of those open endings, so you will get all the answers you need.
Is the Grudge ending any good? Well, that’s where opinions might differ a bit.
For me, it was a bit too neat and pretty. No, “pretty” isn’t the right word, but it did get wrapped up awfully nice. Everything makes sense in the end and you even get those flashbacks that show you how it was possible. Both what you missed and what you never saw. Mostly the latter.
Also, there’s that flair for the melodramatic and theatrical that got to me a bit. Still, in terms of getting everything explained, Grudge does really well.
Watch Grudge on Netflix now!
Grudge was directed by Turkan Derya who I am not familiar with. However, that’s mostly due to me not having watched many productions from Turkey. Turkan Derya has certainly directed quite a lot of both TV series as well as one feature films prior to making this Netflix movie.
Yilmaz Erdogan is both the star of Grudge as well as the writer. And, if IMDb can be trusted on this, he has been writing on TV series and movies since 1986, so he is a very experienced screenwriter. As with Turkan Derya, I can’t claim to be familiar with any of Yilmaz Erdogan’s previous work. But that says more about me than him, I’m sure.
This Turkish movie (org. title Kin) is impressive in most ways and definitely worth checking out if you enjoy a good crime mystery story. While it does run a bit long, it enough going for it to keep watching. Also, allow me to repeat my initial recommendation: Do check out the Turkish series Fatma on Netflix as well!
Grudge is out on Netflix from October 8, 2021.
Director: Turkan Derya
Writer: Yilmaz Erdogan
Stars: Yilmaz Erdogan, Ahmet Mümtaz Taylan, Cem Yigit Uzümoglu, Ruzgar Aksoy, Duygu Sarisin
Ahead of a promotion, a police chief becomes embroiled in a fatal incident and uncovers a grudge-fueled plot that threatens his associates. | <urn:uuid:90a0d834-d611-41d4-9a6b-cce1669e108e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.heavenofhorror.com/reviews/grudge-kin-netflix-thriller/ | 2023-09-26T05:58:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.97209 | 1,066 |
EDITOR’S NOTE (Nick Stamatakis): After the disaster that the communist De Blasio and the corrupt Cuomo have wrought on us in New York, I think we would all agree that NYC needs as a leader someone who is defined first and foremost as a businessman: only a person with a ground to reality business mind would be able to collect the ruins of this greatest city on earth and pave a path to a (very long for sure) recovery. In that sense, I was contemplating for a while to forget last year’s threats by Catsimatidis for lawsuits against free speech… After all, he did not proceed to materialize these – totally baseless – threats of lawsuits and I have to assume that he had some serious self-reflection on the issue. And on the other side, we are supposed to forgive and forget as good Christians – if we want to first practice our faith and, second, to live in a peaceful society… And I was thinking if I should endorse him… As an added bonus, he is a Greek-American – although I believe we should re-consider as a community our stance to indiscriminately support fellow Greek-Americans, especially those who go against our faith and our interests (Mike Giannaris is chief among them: he proved to be anti-business and he disgustingly endorsed abortion at the same day as birth – how does GOA “leadership” dare admit him for photo-ops and the rest?)
But now Catsimatidis started flip-flopping contemplating to run as a Democrat: “This is a Democratic city, and I was a Bill Clinton Democrat. I was a Democrat for a long time”, he says and he explains: “I’m a middle-of-the-road guy. I can be a conservative Democrat, or I can be a liberal Republican”, he says in the interview to “politico.com” below… Regardless of his flip-flops, I still think NYC needs a businessman as a leader – and I do not see any other businessman running… But most of all he needs someone who would run on an anti-corruption platform and a free-speech and pro-business agenda. It was a welcome surprise that in heavily Latino South Bronx Trump increased his results by a lot… This should send a message to all – to democrats like AOC and to all political candidates…
Will Catsimatidis respond to the call? He can run as a democrat but will he run as an anti-Cuomo, anti-corruption democrat? Very doubtful, but we will wait and see…
Billionaire John Catsimatidis — who Republicans have viewed as their best hope in the 2021 mayoral race — now says he’s considering switching parties and jumping into the Democratic race instead.
Catsimatidis, a supermarket mogul and supporter of President Donald Trump, told POLITICO he expects to make a decision in the next few weeks.
“I may want to run as a Democrat with this ranked choice thing,” he said, referring to a new system of ranked choice voting that will allow voters to choose several candidates in order of preference in the June primary.
“This is a Democratic city, and I was a Bill Clinton Democrat. I was a Democrat for a long time,” Catsimatidis said. “I’m a middle-of-the-road guy. I can be a conservative Democrat, or I can be a liberal Republican.”
Few Republicans have entered the race for mayor, even as a large field of Democrats compete for their party’s nomination. Republican party leaders had hoped that Catsimatidis, who lost the Republican primary in 2013 and could self-finance a campaign, would enter the fray and become an instant favorite for their nomination.
But in an acknowledgment of the tough odds facing any Republican candidate, Catsimatidis said he’s now wondering if he would have a better shot as a Democrat, appealing to moderate voters who are concerned about public safety.
“The Democratic party needs somebody with courage to stand up against the crazy Democrats. There’s a lot of moderate Democrats I have a lot of respect for, I’ve supported in the past,” he said. “With ranked choice voting in the primary, who knows what happens? … I think 80 percent of New Yorkers have common sense, and want somebody with common sense and a business head.”
Still, Catsimatidis isn’t swearing off his support for Trump, who was impeached this week after a mob of his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol.
“If you vote on personality, he loses. If you vote on performance for our country, he did a great job for our economy. He did a great job sealing the border,” he said. “He did make mistakes. But he did a lot of good stuff for our country, and he doesn’t deserve the treatment he’s getting right now.”
As they wait on a final decision from Catsimatidis, Republicans — who for twenty years elected mayors in an overwhelmingly Democratic city — have only a handful of less well-known candidates. The small field reflects the challenges faced by the party — significant in any year, but exacerbated by the divisions caused by Trump.
“The odds are insurmountable. But then again, I’m the chair of the Bronx Republican party — when are the odds not insurmountable?” said Bronx GOP chair Mike Rendino.
None of the current crop of Republican elected officials has shown a serious interest in the race.
Former Wall street executive Sara Tirschwell launched her campaign for the Republican nomination this week. Fernando Mateo, who leads associations of bodegas and cab drivers, says he is all but certain to run.
Retired NYPD officer Bill Pepitone has also declared his candidacy, while Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa has said he plans to run but has not filed to formally create a campaign.
Rendino said he had hoped Catsimatidis would run as a Republican, but now expects to support Mateo, a Dominican immigrant who might make inroads among Latino voters. While still losing by a huge margin, Trump improved his performance in the recent election in the heavily Latino South Bronx.
“After what happened last week in the Capitol, it’s time to turn the page and to redefine the Republican party,” Rendino said. “The fact [is] that the president, whether you like him or not, was taking all the air out of the room for the last four years. There really was no lane for a Republican to lead here in New York City.”
Mateo said he plans to run unless Catsimatidis gets into the Republican race.
“I’m an urban Republican,” he said. “It’s a way of changing the image of the party … The face of the Republican party has always been a white face. And people of color have been left out.”
He said he voted for Trump, but thinks voters will judge him on his own merits. “I am far from being President Trump. I don’t look like him. I don’t come from where he comes from. I don’t act like him. I don’t have his arrogance. I am a very different type of Republican,” he said.
Pepitone, the former NYPD officer, said he would champion a return to broken windows policing, cracking down on smaller offenses.
“I believe there’s a pervasive feeling that Republicans can’t win in New York City, and I don’t think the Republican party has done a good enough job disputing that,” he said.
But J.C. Polanco, who was the Republican nominee for public advocate four years ago, said the party would have a hard time reconciling the fiscally moderate, socially liberal brand that has brought it success in New York with the direction the party has gone under Trump.
“It’s just very difficult for a person like myself who is a never Trumper, who believes that the type of white nationalism and the grievance we’ve seen in the last four years is an affront to my humanity,” he said.
“It’s very hard to talk about economic development and the importance of creating charter schools and giving educational opportunities to those who have been historically disadvantaged, when you have the kind of rhetoric and the kind of thing you saw in Washington last week. It’s an impossibility.” | <urn:uuid:48e95bd5-2c0e-4d72-8907-b9d33d00d7c4> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.helleniscope.com/2021/01/15/will-catsimatidis-run-as-a-democrat-for-nyc-mayor/ | 2023-09-26T05:20:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.969828 | 1,821 |
At the Infosecurity Europe 2006 Press Conference a panel of speakers from MessageLabs, Centennial Software, (ISC)2, Black Spider, Juniper Networks and Insight Consulting debated the most dangerous security threats we can expect in 2006.
Everyone agreed that mobile security issues, viruses and phishing are the top candidates for difficult situations that will cause a headache for security professionals this year.
Internal security threats are coming together into the spotlight again, and it’s a layer of security you should take an immediate look at.
The immense challenge that organizations face when combating threats is education. It is the foundation on which the security architecture has to be built upon.
Home users are still not aware of the dangers and they don’t know why and how to implement the basic security measures. Some of them, like a simple firewall, are already implemented into hardware they have in their home.
Companies should think about who they work with and the volume of security their partners and distributors have implemented. Some minimum standards should be enforced to ensure the overall degree of security.
A question has been raised where the security profession is going. Unquestionably, there’s going to be increased awareness when it comes to the role of the security professional within the organization. With compliance issues and security audits around the corner, there is going to be more people getting certified. The security industry is becoming more accountable for what’s happening and compliance is a bit part of this situation.
It’s a known fact that employees are occasionally engaged in surfing activities that are not work-related; the panel agreed computer usage should be monitored in order to be aware of what’s happening on the network. What action the employer (that some may call Big Brother) wants to take after discovering such activities, should be governated by the security policy the employee signs when being hired.
Some countries have laws that protect the privacy of a person to such an extent that they prohibit the company to monitor his computer activity in any way. This leaves the security professional in a tight spot and unables him to do his job properly, not to mention that it leaves some network activity completely unmonitored. Should the privacy laws be changed to give the employer more freedom to “snoop”? This is going to remain an open debate. | <urn:uuid:f94b176a-87f8-420e-b4cc-2d6c5d3201aa> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.helpnetsecurity.com/2006/02/03/experts-comment-on-the-top-security-threats-in-2006/ | 2023-09-26T05:13:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.960202 | 475 |

Mosul: Handicap International has launched its emergency response
Over the last six weeks, more than 75,000 people have fled the fighting in Mosul and its surrounding area. Handicap International has deployed a dozen field mobile teams to assist people displaced by the conflict. The organisation is providing rehabilitation care and psychosocial support in the main displacement areas.

Last week, dozens of Handicap International’s professionals began working in Khazer camp. Following the launch of the Mosul offensive in Iraq over a month ago, the camp is now one of the main areas of displacement. The organisation’s teams go from tent to tent inquiring after the health of displaced people, particularly the most vulnerable.
“A lot of people have injuries or chronic diseases and their health condition has gotten worse over the last few weeks,” explains Mohamad, a physiotherapist. “Many also suffer from psychological trauma, particularly children, so our psychosocial support is vital,” adds Eyad, a social worker.
By the end of this week, the organisation’s teams will also be working in other camps in order to help as many people as possible. This includes Hasansham, where some 36,000 people have taken refuge, and Qayyarah Jad’ah, another major displacement area. “Some camps are empty, but our teams will start working there as soon as they open. We won’t have to wait long because the number of displaced people increases daily and the humanitarian emergency is growing and becoming more complicated with the onset of winter,” explains Maud Bellon, project manager of Handicap International’s Mosul Emergency Response.
“We are also going to diversify our activities, and our risk education teams, who raise awareness on mines and explosive remnants of war, will their intervention shortly. Since the start of the year, more than 5,000 people have been killed and over 10,000 injured by explosive weapons, in Iraq. Displaced people are often exposed to these risks, so it’s vital they know how to recognise them and what to do if they come across them,” she adds.
“We’re also collaborating with other humanitarian actors in order to cover all of the needs of the displaced population,” concludes Maud Bellon. More than 10 million people currently need humanitarian assistance in Iraq, around a third of the country’s population. This number has doubled in less than a year. | <urn:uuid:eaf48304-4888-4f88-9cf2-9c02a6a0188b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.hi-canada.org/en/news/mosul-handicap-international-has-launched-its-emergency-response | 2023-09-26T05:21:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.956448 | 541 |
It’s definitely that time of year where everyone is getting sick. Especially with all the weird weather occurrences around the globe.
Feeling a little sick? Tired? Have a sore throat or a cough? You might be getting sick, but that’s okay because cannabis may be a cure. Thankfully, this recipe for infused chicken noodle soup will make you feel better, all without ever having to take a hit!
Infused Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe
- 1/2 pounds of chopped cooked chicken breast
- 1/2 cup chopped celery
- 60 ounces of chicken broth
- 7 grams of ground marijuana OR 6 droppers of marijuana tincture
- 1/2 teaspoon of dried basil
- 1/2 cup chopped carrots
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup of peas
- 1/2 cup chopped onions
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano
- 14.5 ounces of vegetable broth
- 1 1/2 cups egg noodles or noodles your most prefer
Take a large pot and melt the cannabis butter over medium heat, making sure that you never boil it. Use the butter to cook both the onion and the celery for about five minutes.
Add the chicken and the broths. Start to stir. Proceed to add the salt and pepper. Then add the chicken, oregano, basil, carrots, peas, and noodles. Now put in your ground up cannabis (or your tincture) and bring everything to a low boil. Once you begin to see the bubbles, turn the heat down and simmer everything for about twenty minutes. Your chicken soup is ready to eat! You can either eat it right away or store it in the fridge for later. Grab some crackers or bread and enjoy!
TIP: If you don’t like any of these ingredients, or you would like to add some of your own, that’s totally fine! You can change it to vegetable broth and tofu for a vegetarian version.

From Queen Victoria to King Leopold I of Belgium – 29 November 1841
I would have written sooner, had I not been a little bilious, which made me very low, and not in spirits to write… They think that I shall not get my appetite and spirits back till I can get out of town; we are therefore going in a week at latest. I am going for a drive this morning, and am certain it will do me good. In all essentials, I am better, if possible than last year. Our little boy is a wonderfully strong and large child, with very large dark blue eyes, a finely formed but somewhat large nose, and a pretty little mouth; I hope and pray he may be like his dearest Papa. He is to be called Albert, and Edward is to be his second name. Pussy1, dear child, is still the great pet amongst us all, and is getting so fat and strong again. She is not at all pleased with her brother.
I have been suffering so from lowness that it made me quite miserable, and I know how difficult it is to fight against it. I wonder very much who our little boy will be like. You will understand how fervent my prayers and I am (sure) everbody’s must be, to see him resemble his angelic dearest Father in every, every respect, both in body and mind. Oh! My dearest uncle, I am sure if you knew how happy, how blessed I feel, and how proud I feel in possessing such a perfect being as my husband, as he is, and if you think that you have been instrumental in bringing about this union, it must gladden your heart! How happy should I be to see our child grow up just like him! Dear Pussy travelled with us and behaved like a grown-up person, so quiet and looking about and coquetting with the Hussars on either side of the carriage.

Get Back in Shape after Injury!
Joe got back in great shape with Hitch Fit after recovering from an injury!
Transformation by Hitch Fit Gym Transformer – Kansas City Personal Trainer Michael Davis (Mike D)
Joe’s Before and After Transformation Photos:
Joe’s Story and Hitch Fit Gym Review:
“Third times the charm! Well, so was the first and second time with Hitch Fit. Yes, this has been my third stint with Hitch Fit. Why? Because it’s a system that I know and trust. Though, my third time around is a little different than my previous experiences with Hitch Fit. Most recently, I suffered an injury that prevented me from working out for quite a few months. Soon thereafter, I spent some time in physical therapy to restore the injury I inflicted upon myself. After I was given the clearance to work out again, I immediately walked thru the doors at Hitch Fit.
This time around, I needed a trainer to not only bring me back to a fit and healthy state, but I needed someone who can cater their training around my injury. My previous and successful experiences with Hitch Fit were to obtain a certain level of fitness, however, this time around I had similar goals but with the caveat of working with an injury.
Thanks to Mike’s skilled training, I not only learned how to work out with an injury but he helped me surpass my original fitness goal. Hitch Fit’s trainers are there to support, guide and provide you with a foundation that will take you beyond their own doors. I can’t thank Mike and Hitch Fit enough for providing me the guidance I needed to achieve my goals. Now that my injury is behind me and my confidence is back, I’m going continue moving forward, set new goals, and rely on the training Mike Davis and Hitch Fit has provided me.”

One More Time: Another Take on the National Scene of the “Bare Metal Defense” in Asbestos Litigation
Richard Mirra and Steven Satz, both Of Counsel to the firm, authored an article titled “One More Time: Another Take on the National Scene of the ‘Bare Metal Defense’ in Asbestos Litigation”. It appears in the newsletter of the Defense Research Institute’s Toxic Torts and Environmental Law Committee. It explores developments in asbestos litigation following a decision and written opinion filed by the Appellate Division of the New Jersey Superior Court in the Hughes case, which was handled by Richard Mirra and Steven Satz of the firm. The opinion constitutes the current state of the law on the subject, as it is the highest Court in New Jersey to weigh in on this issue in the field of toxic torts. | <urn:uuid:fa094ed7-6ceb-4785-8dca-0c7d6149fc77> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.hoaglandlongo.com/publication/one-more-time-another-take-on-the-national-scene-of-the-bare-metal-defense-in-asbestos-litigation | 2023-09-26T04:47:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.915151 | 181 |
One second it’s there and the next it isn’t. It comes and goes with a fluidity only achieved by a master. While you know it’s all just a trick, you can’t help but believe it’s real.
For an instant, you are absolutely mesmerized. You succumb to the magic of it all. It overwhelms you and takes your breath away. But then the card slips. The handkerchief falls. The magic is gone along with the feeling of wonderment. You had been fooled and you will continue to be fooled. You will continue to feel betrayed, yet enchanted at the same time. The confusion within you will persist and you’ll have to learn to tell yourself that these, all of these, are merely magic tricks. | <urn:uuid:2b9eea32-d46d-403a-847c-87569f8f6c36> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.hocfilms.com/blog/magic-tricks | 2023-09-26T06:22:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.956371 | 169 |

September is a busy month for food and is the monthly host for additional culinary delights, some of which pair quite nicely with mushrooms. It turns out that September is also National Wild Rice and National Organic Harvest Month. What a great fit if you’re in the mood for celebrating these monthly themes!
We continue to commemorate mushrooms during the month of September; however, the ninth month of the year is also National Cholesterol Education Month and National Self Improvement month (no kidding).
Over twenty years ago, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) launched the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) in order to help reduce illness and death from coronary heart disease (CHD) by reducing the percent of Americans with high blood cholesterol.
September is National Mushroom Month and is a great time to enjoy an exotic food once reserved for royalty. I’d like to present some fun facts about mushrooms. Let’s see how mushroom savvy we are!
Did you know?
While often thought of as a vegetable and prepared like one, mushrooms are actually a fungus, a special type of living organism that has no roots, leaves, flowers or seeds.
Mushrooms are more closely related to animals than plants and like most living organisms, are 85-95 percent water. Also similar to mammals, mushrooms take in oxygen for their digestion and metabolism and “exhale” carbon dioxide as a waste product.
Mushrooms grow from spores, not seeds, and a single mature mushroom will drop as many as 16 billion spores!
Most kids are excited about the prospect of going back to school–new clothes, new books, new supplies, –an opportunity to reconnect with classmates. But going back to school also means increased exposure to germs. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) states that nearly 22 million school days are lost each year due to the common cold, flu and other infections.
And, unfortunately, as nationwide budget cuts increase, larger class sizes, shorter school years and fewer staff, including janitorial services means a less clean classroom.
When preparing children for going back to school, learning about germ prevention and healthy habits are just as important as reading, writing and arithmetic.
Frozen dinners have come a long way since the ‘50s. Today, with the increased use of microwave ovens and less time spent stove cooking, frozen dinners have become a large part our dinner meal time. According to a Harris Interactive online survey, each American chills out with six frozen meals per month. Research by the American Frozen Food Institute (AFFI) reports that over $4.5 billion is spent on frozen meals per year, mostly because consumers want convenience and prefer to eat dinner at home after a busy week. Summer excursions and back-to-school shopping trips cut further into dinner prep time, resulting in even less time spent on meal planning and cooking and increased spending on frozen entrees and pizza.
1. The average American eats an average of 46 slices (23 pounds) of pizza a year.
2. Americans eat approximately 100 acres of pizza each day, or 350 slices per second.
3. Kids between the ages of 3 to 11 prefer pizza over all other food groups for lunch and dinner.
Emphasis on Flavorful Foods with Nutritional Benefits
The standard American diet (also known as SAD) is typically high in processed foods, which tend to be high in saturated and hydrogenated fats, high in sugar and salt and low in complex carbohydrates and fiber.
Two emerging food trends in the US have been identified as a demand for more nutritious food and food with flavor. The latest food trends include get back to basics with meals that are quick, but with an emphasis on flavor and also offering superior nutritional value.
Food with Health Benefits – Functional Foods
While there’s no formal definition for “functional food,” the meaning typically includes foods that provide a health-promoting or disease-preventing property beyond the basic function of supplying vitamins and minerals. For example, tomatoes contain a “phyto-nutrient” (plant compound) known as lycopene and is associated with a lower risk for prostate cancer. For example, tomatoes could be referred to as a functional food for men with increased risk for prostate cancer. Functional foods have also been extended to include processed foods or foods and beverages fortified with health-promoting additives, such as calcium enriched orange juice (to lower risk for osteoporosis). Fermented foods with live cultures are also included in the functional food category with probiotic benefits.
Last week’s blog targeted the growing trend of simplifying meals with an emphasis on flavor and health. Today’s blog continues with more food trends identified by The Food Channel and CNN for 2010, and how Hokto mushrooms fit right in.
Food Trends in 2010
• Back to basics economy and a return to natural ingredients
• Flavor delivery using international foods
• Food Safety
• Foods with nutritional benefits
• Food with flavor (Umami)
Despite the abundance of convenience foods and drive-thrus, in today’s economy, families are beginning to cook more at home. According to research published by the Food Channel, CNN and others, quick, simple meals expressing individuality, flavor delivery, and sprinkled with a dash of ethnicity are a few of the latest trends in 2010. Home cooked meals in minutes. Hokto mushrooms can certainly contribute to that!
Also, more and more people are moving away from a “meat and potatoes” diet to include more vegetables and less meat in their home-cooked meals. According to USDA statistics, consumption for meat has been decreasing over the last three years. In fact, this trend has created a new word, “flexitarian”. While not true vegetarians and not quite fulltime carnivores (meat-eaters), flexitarians tend to eat a mostly plant-based diet composed of grains, vegetables, and fruits, but they occasionally obtain protein from lean meat, fish, poultry, or dairy. A quarter of Americans fit the description, consuming meatless meals at least four days a week, according to the American Dietetic Association.
Now that the introductions are out of the way, are you’re ready to try a rather exotic looking mushroom but not sure how to begin? Wash? Rinse? Peel? The good news is that Hokto’s mushrooms are ready to be cooked right out of the bag. They do not need to be washed, rinsed, or peeled because they are not grown in dirt and are completely bug-free!
The 2010 San Diego County Fair is in its final week of “Taste the Fun” theme that celebrates food and local venders from San Diego County. The main, theme-based attraction continues with the “Tour of Tastes,” an exhibition featuring cooking competitions and demos. Today, I had another opportunity to work with one of the chefs and speak on behalf of Hokto at the San Diego County Fair on June 29th, demonstrating the continued versatility and great flavor of Hokto mushrooms with the theme of vegan and vegetarian meals. Vegetarians may eat dairy and eggs (ovo-lacto), but vegans avoid all animal products. So mushrooms are a great compliment to a meatless dish in adding a savory flavor and mouthfeel.
Again we had a record breaking audience observe Chef David prepare three dishes made with all four varieties of Hokto mushrooms –King Trumpet, White Beech, Brown Beech and Maitake. | <urn:uuid:dca694c7-29bd-49fd-9fe4-e9b50e4d5f67> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.hokto-kinoko.com/category/healthy-minds/ | 2023-09-26T05:45:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.958394 | 1,565 |
Mishaps & Misfortunes:
The Not So Graceful Side Of Ballet
Falling in public is for most people an embarrassing event. It is why we are trying to get up as quickly as possible, put on a smile and tell to people that offer their help that 'we are fine, really', before we hurry off to the safety of anonymity.
There is no hiding away when a performer falls or trips on stage. Instead, any mishap is amplified by the theatre's architecture, the lighting, the stage design, etc., all of which are intended to direct the audience's attention to what is unfolding right in front of them.
And whilst, as I mentioned in last month's blog, sports and athletics, often regard 'fails' as an exploration of what is humanly possible, ballet, in contrast, aims to create the illusion of perfection and other-worldliness that any ungraceful and unplanned movement would destroy.
It is rather impressive how fast dancers get back up onto their feet after they dropped to the floor and continue their routine as if nothing had happened. They often realise only after the end of the show that they got hurt.
One of my own most prominent falls was when I danced the double role of Clara/ Sugar Plum in The Nutcracker.
In act I, little Clara and her Nutcracker (danced by ballet students) are magically transformed into a princess and a prince (i.e. me and my partner) who perform, as a way of introducing their first pas de deux, which has a wonderful, dream-like quality.
backstage, as Sugar Plum and Prince,

Two minutes into the pas de deux, dancing at the very front of the stage, doing a chassé-relevé to arabesque I slipped and landed on the floor! My princely partner kindly offered me his hand and pulled me back up on pointe. Shocked but not shaken by this disaster, we tried to recreate the magic.
In the interval, I noticed that the muscles around my shin were badly swollen but nothing I could do until later. If anything, I was more determined to excel in act II.
The year before I danced the same role with another, less gallant partner. In the grand pas de deux of the act II, quite early on, I am to turn a double grand tour à la seconde, where my partner catches me at the end and leads me into a penché. However, this one time my prince stepped in too early and pushed me quite unmajestically off pointe.
I knew that everyone thought this would unnerve me but quite the opposite, the incident completely calmed me down. It felt like I had nothing to lose and if something else did go wrong, I would be forgiven. The mind works in strange ways.
Nobody is exempt from unlucky accidents, not even the best.
I had moved on from the company but came to watch the premiere of their hugely anticipated new production of Swan Lake that was broadcasted live in different countries by Arte television.
The male principal dancer was a very highly respected artist of absolute technical command. I have never seen him make a mistake, he seemed infallible. In his first solo on that opening night, doing a simple preparatory step, he too slipped and fell.
Falls, trips and slips can have many different reasons: nervousness, getting entangled in costumes, a slippery floor, etc. The latter becomes apparent when several dancers fall in one evening. I remember a Don Quixote performance where people just kept dropping and after each act, we were counting the numbers.
But these are not the only calamities that can strike. Another example is a having 'blackout'. This is when the mind goes blank and one forgets the next few steps.
My best friend had a beautiful solo in Le Concours by Maurice Bejart. As always I watched him dance from the wings and did not notice anything unusual on this particular day. However, afterwards, he told me he had had a blackout for several counts yet his body continued to do the correct choreography! What a fascinating illustration of nerve and muscle memory.
warming up before Le Concours,
German State Opera Berlin, 1996
The above examples are, even if not welcomed, justifiable and part of the job. Much worse and far more difficult to get away with it when a dancer forgets to take off pieces of his or her clothes.
I remember watching act II of Giselle and one of the demi-soloists wore her black ankle warmer with her white tutu.
A personal, way more shameful memory is me as a 14 or 15 years old student, dancing the pas de trois in The Nutcracker and posing with all the other dancers in the 'tableau-scene' of act II when I heard muffled giggling rising around me. It suddenly dawned on me that I was the cause of everyone's bemusement, having forgotten to take off one of my bright-coloured turquoise foot-to-knee leg warmers.
Oh, how I wished the ground had opened and swallowed me! Time seemed to have stood still and I was dying a slow, humiliating death.
To make matters worse, it was a matinee performance and apart from bearing the scorn of my teacher I also had to endure being teased by the company dancers for the rest of the day.
Infectious laughter is another challenging situation on stage, e.g. when wigs are about to come off during a waltz, or when in a freeze-frame scene giggles of undefined origin turn into laughing fits that can hardly be contained, usually at the end of the season when everyone is overtired.
This may not be the greatest example of the professionalism and serious commitment the majority of dancers bring to their jobs. But it shows that dancers are also just human beings, and moreover very young ones most of the time.

Falafel is a popular alternative to meat-based foods for vegans and vegetarians. It is a humble Middle Eastern fritter that is now a part of America’s staple diet. Studies have found that the consumption frequency in different states is 1.44 times on average every year. It is high in multiple micronutrients and is an excellent source of protein and fiber. This helps reduce the production of hunger hormones like ghrelin and boosts the production of fullness hormones like peptide YY, cholecystokinin and glucagon-like peptide-1. Other nutrients in falafels are iron, zinc, folate, vitamin B6, carbs, calorie, potassium and copper.
Falafel can lower the risks of chronic diseases, curb appetite and support good blood sugar. Take your pick from a range of dishes containing falafels like signature sandwiches served in pita and plates with a choice of salad or seasoned rice. They are extremely healthy and help you reap the above-mentioned benefits. Rivaling an established restaurant and making falafel at home is tricky. But below are a few tips you may consider so you come close to the taste and texture of chef-made falafels at your nearby Middle-Eastern eatery.
1. Right Amount of Flour and Powder
Baking powder is optional but can assure airy, light and tender balls. This way they are less likely to be mushy and soggy. Add bulgur wheat, grains and nuts along to avoid making the falafel look like a deep-fried chickpea fritter. Baking powder is rich in vitamin A, vitamin B12, folic acid and niacin. They offer fantastic nutritional benefits and are healthy for both seniors and children. 3-4 teaspoons are ideal for 8 ounces dried and 1 cup of chickpeas.
The flour will hold your falafels together and keep them from falling apart when dunked in oil. It helps achieve a beautiful golden-brown exterior as well. The tiny patties are less likely to be crumbly which could damage the presentation visuals. Adding chickpea flour instead of all-purpose flour can make your falafels gluten-free. Adding 4-5 tablespoons is enough for three cups of chickpeas mix.
2. Use Fresh Leafy Herbs
Dried herbs tend to be packed and condensed and lose their flavor in a while. A significant amount of nutrients is lost in the drying process as well which compromises the benefits. Freshly picked parsley, mint and cilantro add a delicious flavor depth to falafels. They have a soft and subtle taste and are perfect for dishes with a short cooking time (4-5 minutes). In fact, adding herbs to your diet can manage heart disease and diabetes.
No wonder the fresh herbs market is expected to grow by $1,183.2 million from 2018 to 2025 at a CAGR of 3.9%. Chop them closest to the time when you will begin cooking. Make sure the bundles have a vibrant natural aroma and color. Snip the root ends and to avoid premature wilting, wash them in cold water and then pat dry with a paper towel for longevity.
3. Used Dried Chickpeas
Chickpeas give you good mental health, stronger bones and better digestion. This is the main ingredient of falafel and is packed with protein, fiber and carbohydrates. It can take on a variety of flavors and the America-grown ones have a sweet taste. The global chickpeas market gained a volume of nearly 13.37 million tons in 2020 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 1.3% between 2021 and 2026. The soaked dried version makes the best falafel instead of the canned ones.
This is because they contain excess moisture. The texture of dried ones turns out to be authentic with prominent flavor and better seasoning options. But make sure to soak them for at least 24-hours before putting them in the grinder. You can add fava beans as well for added taste or thickness. Don’t forget generous amounts of garlic and onion for a game-changing flavor punch.
Falafels can easily fit into your regular diet. Follow these simple tips the next time you wish to prepare homemade falafels. But if you want to savor the same without putting in time and effort, simply order from your nearby restaurant. This is economical, healthy and saves you all the hassle of cooking and cleaning. | <urn:uuid:2bd8c54c-1d94-4308-8648-d47e1afba0af> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.homehealthyrecipes.com/3-secret-tips-to-turn-falafels-into-a-super-healthy-dish/ | 2023-09-26T04:50:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.926293 | 931 |
Here you see the before and after of a recently completed kitchen update. I often have clients ask me about painting cabinets and this is the perfect example of how to do it right. First of all, consider the plan of your kitchen and the condition of your cabinets. If the flow is good and the cabinets are structurally sound, then the type of wood your cabinets are made of should also be considered. Many people have oak cabinets. Painted, because of the heavy grain, the oak grain will show through the paint and instead of a Shaker style, painted maple cabinet, that is so popular now, you will have what is obviously painted oak. So, first of all, we hired a professional to paint the cabinet boxes. I asked him to fill the grain with a spackle type compound so the finish would be smooth, like Maple. Because of the router on the edges of the existing doors, filling the grain on the doors was not possible. We ordered new MDF doors to update the style and give us the smooth finish we wanted. We saved $5,000-$8,000 by painting over the cost of new cabinets. Adding crown molding finished off the top of each cabinet and draws the eye up to add the illusion of height. Granite countertops and a new splash helped to give us an updated look as well as new brushed nickel hardware. We also put in a new luxury vinyl plank floor, so popular now, and so easy to care for. This kitchen is ready for another 20 years!
Interior Design Tip
This client came to me hoping to enlarge and update the master shower. Her husband is tall so we also wanted to raise the height of the standard shower head to better accommodate him. The existing prefab shower unit with bulkhead seemed dark and crowded. And their shampoos and skincare products didn’t have enough space.
The builder grade tub surround was too short to be a good protector for splash when using the tub.
<br/ clear=”all”>By enlarging the square foot in the shower by about one third and using a glass enclosure, the new space is light filled and spacious! The tile has a subtle beach sand pattern. The glass waterfall and stone shower floor add to the feel of an ocean side spa retreat!
I recently completed some kitchen renovations in my own home. I have a fairly typical home built in the 1980’s. 2 very common elements of that period are upper cabinets above a peninsula and a kitchen desk. We were continually hitting our heads on the upper cabinets as well as having to duck down to see around them. But I needed the storage they provided so couldn’t just take them out. A kitchen desk sounds like a great organizational tool but the reality is that it just became a dumping ground for mail and various other stuff as these photos show.
Also typical of that generation are bulkheads. I have to admit I am not a fan of not having any bulkheads above the upper cabinets because of the dust that collects there, however, having the cabinets go to the ceiling is the perfect solution.
The project included: removing the upper cabinets and bulkhead above the peninsula, adding pendant lighting above the peninsula, adding can lights to kitchen ceiling, removing the cabinets and bulkhead along the refrigerator wall and replacing an existing pantry as well as adding a larger pantry in place of the desk and adding a new refrigerator with door panels and cabinet surround. I left the perimeter cabinets, stone and glass backsplash, and solid surface countertops in place. I specified a painted and glazed finish to complement the existing cherry cabinet finish, without matching it for added drama and interest, creating a feature wall. I also replaced a worn wood floor with a prefinished, stained, Asian Walnut.
By working with my existing cabinets, I was able to update and better utilize the space but saved money by not doing a full kitchen remodel. One of my personal goals in any space is to use whatever existing furnishings are useable and available. And this was no exception. Inside the larger pantry are deep rollouts for cookbooks as well as desk paraphernalia.
Now I can say, along with my clients, that I “love my home!”
This client felt her oak trim dated her house and also because there was so much of it, added a darkness to the room she was tired of. All that you see in these first two photos used to be a medium stained oak. We painted a base coat and then added a glaze coat and several coats of sealer and she was thrilled with the results.
In the kitchen, we left the perimeter oak cabinets stained but painted the island the same as the fireplace wall, We put in a new hood and removed a wood valance over the sink.
We painted some of the oak pillars in her home the base color with no glazing. Mixing stained and painted finishes works well when it is thought through. And totally updated this home!
And I’m not wondering about crumbs, loose change, pencils, dirty clothes and last week’s homework! What is the construction of the frame under your sofa cushions? This month I would like to take the opportunity to talk about furniture construction and why some sofas cost $699 and others $3,000 or much more.
The least expensive way to construct the support for the seat area of your sofa is with a “trampoline” style piece of synthetic material stretched across the area under the cushions. You may not notice a difference in the way it sits, unless you have a bad back, right away. This type of support is not durable, however, and after time, will start to sag. Particularly if someone in your family is large or you have children, especially teenagers, who bounce when they sit down.
Somewhat better than this is a “no sag,” serpentine type of heavy wire support running front to back. Most of the low to moderately priced upholstery available uses this system. Even some better stores carry lines that use this support system to keep the price down.
The “gold standard” in good construction is 8-way hand-tied springs. Your weight is evenly distributed when you sit on it because of the inner connection between the springs. It is the most comfortable and durable of the support systems. It also offers the best support for your back. Under the springs you should find webbing. Under the webbing you should find steel bands running front to back. A contract or commercial quality support system will also have steel bands running side to side.
The wood frame itself is also important. Thicker diameter and a harder variety of wood equals a heavier and more durable frame. The better quality is solid maple. Pine or plywood are not as durable but even some of the best manufacturers are using plywood in the frames in some of their collections. The corners should be blocked and screwed or doweled for strength and stability.
Where the quality of a piece shows immediately is in the tailoring. Cotton felt is better than foam sheeting on the arms, for example. It holds its shape best and gives a sharper corner. The arms should feel firm, not too spongy as with the foam sheeting. The type of fabric also affects the price of the piece. Some fabrics are costly to manufacture because of the type of weave or fiber content (like silk, for example) or surface embellishments like beading or embroidery, they may be imported from Europe, or have been designed by someone well-known and so cost more. Higher price does not equate with good wear ability, however. Some of the most expensive fabrics are a light wearing fabric and shouldn’t be sat on regularly. Be sure to look for a pattern match, or flow, all around the piece. Sometimes a corner will be cut in not matching the sides or back. Another sign of good tailoring is a mitered skirt so it hangs perfectly straight. If you are looking at a leather sofa, make sure it is top grain cowhide and not a bonded leather. Hang tags that say “genuine leather” may be describing a thin layer of leather bonded to a synthetic backing. This will not wear well as it separates from the backing within a couple of years in the wear areas. If you’ve ever bought an inexpensive leather purse or belt, you’ve probably seen this happen.
Within the cushion itself you should find a foam core wrapped in a piece of batting and/or down feathers and enclosed in a case of muslin for a high crown on the top of the cushion. One step up from that, some manufacturers use a spring/down unit within the seat cushion, standard or for an upcharge. This is the ultimate in comfort and durability.
My advice is to buy the very best you can afford in a classic style as a good quality piece can be reupholstered many times over and saves money in the long run. And anyone who is environmentally conscious knows that throwaway furniture is not good for our planet’s health. With upholstered furniture you truly, “Get what you pay for.”
Lighting terms may need defining before we get started. First, a watt is the rate at which electricity is used. The government has required that incandescent bulbs be discontinued because they use a lot of watts for the amount of light that is given. Light on a given surface is measured in footcandles. When we are trying to read the newspaper, we want to make sure whatever light source we have is giving us enough light to avoid eye strain. The quality of light is measured by the number of Kelvins – warm incandescent is rated at 3,000 Kelvins, a halogen is somewhere around 3,200, cool fluorescent at 4,000, and daylight is 5,200 Kelvins. We can also measure the CRI or Color Rendering Index with the sun as our reference. A rating in the 80-100 range is best. Incandescent is at 100. Standard fluorescent is poor at 62, although a “warm” fluorescent can get close to 90. We’ve all seen the blue light given off from standard, cool, fluorescents and the distortion of the true colors in the area surrounding. Fluorescents also have disposal issues so LED looks to be the bulb that will set the standard for the future. LED’s have been developed with a CRI at 90 or above to give good color rendering and still have the energy efficiency needed to meet today’s standards.
All rooms should have multiple layers of light: General, ambient light can be accomplished with can lights, surface mount, or track lighting. Task lighting can be pendants, pucks, strip, or mini track lights. Accent lighting can be focused on a special feature in the room and might be accomplished with sconces, tape lighting, and directional track or cans. Decorative lighting can sometimes serve the same purpose as these
other types of lighting with table lamps or chandeliers perhaps. Multiple layers of lighting give flexibility to the lighting scheme and allow for many different scenes to be set. I always suggest dimmers as I feel it’s best to have the maximum available light installed and be able to dim it down since adding additional light can be a costly redo. I also don’t feel it is absolutely necessary to have symmetry in the position of the cans in a ceiling. Its more important to have light where you need it. If recessed lights are placed 24″ from the wall in a standard kitchen layout, the user will have better light available on the counter area, rather than from behind as is most often done. Symmetry is certainly critical in any decorative lighting that might be used in the room, however.
According to the National Sleep Foundation, 30 – 40 percent of adults say they suffer from occasional insomnia. 10- 15 percent of adults say they have chronic insomnia. Light can play a big role in getting a good night’s sleep. Warm sunlight triggers chemicals in our brains that wake us up. That is why is is often easier to wake up in the summer than the winter. The hormone melatonin is needed for our brains to induce sleep. Artificial light at high levels all day can disrupt the production of melatonin. Use a light source that simulates bright morning light as soon as you wake up. A sun lamp for 15 minutes might help. Lower light levels and also warmer light with a CRI of 2700 Kelvin is recommended for the last couple hours before bedtime in the evening. 40 watt incandescent bulbs will work well for this purpose. | <urn:uuid:d5047546-5b39-4666-93c2-a853f26b129c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.homelifeinteriors.com/category/interior-design-tips/ | 2023-09-26T05:57:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.956678 | 2,620 |

The Indiana online gambling space just got a little bit more crowded.
On Monday, Churchill Downs’ online/mobile sportsbook BetAmerica launched in Indiana cyberspace. The platform is limited to those 21 years of age and older located within Hoosier State borders. Geolocation technology makes the platform inoperable outside of state lines.
The sportsbook is also available via web browser.
Indiana marks the third state for BetAmerica. The platform also launched in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania launch came earlier this month, making BetAmerica the eighth online/mobile sportsbook in that state. BetAmerica has been active in New Jersey since February. Additionally, BetAmerica is involved with retail wagering in Mississippi.
Churchill owns a casino in Pennsylvania under which it launched online/mobile sports betting. In Indiana, BetAmerica launched under a partnership with Full House Resorts and its Rising Star Casino. BetAmerica received a temporary vendor license for sports betting from the Indiana Gaming Commission back in September. Its mobile launch authorization came on Dec. 21. It took several months to bring the product to market. BetAmerica is one of three sports betting partners for Full House Resorts in the Hoosier State.
In addition to a sportsbook, BetAmerica offers betting on horse racing and is an online casino in the state of New Jersey. Pennsylvania regulates online casino games, but BetAmerica doesn’t offer them in the Keystone State. It eventually will. Indiana has not yet legalized online casino gambling, but lawmakers will likely consider a plan to do so in the coming years.
BetAmerica is currently powered by SBTech, which recently reached a deal to be acquired by BetAmerica rival DraftKings.
BetAmerica’s launch is the first in the state since October.
In early October, Rush Street Interactive’s BetRivers platform launched, as well as a product from Boston-based DraftKings. Later in October, FanDuel launched its platform. Every online/mobile sportsbook must have a brick-and-mortar casino partner, under Indiana law.
Online/mobile gambling products from the likes of Caesars Interactive Entertainment and William Hill are in the pipeline, as both have received temporary vendor licenses from the IGC. FOX Bet, which will soon by owned by FanDuel parent Flutter Entertainment, could also launch in Indiana sometime in the coming year. Each Indiana casino can have three sports betting skins.
Mobile handle growing
The addition of BetAmerica will contribute to online/mobile’s growing share of the handle pie.
In November, the most recent month of official Indiana sports gambling data, online/mobile wagering accounted for more than 65% of the handle. More than $96 mm of the $147.28 mm in total statewide betting handle came via the internet.
In October, online/mobile accounted for 52.4% of the $91.7 mm in total handle.
In New Jersey, the online gambling gold standard, the internet accounted for 86.5% of the handle in November. The Hoosier State has a ways to go before replicating the Garden State market, but it will eventually get there. More online sportsbooks in the mix will give consumers more options and drive the non-retail handle upward. | <urn:uuid:7126783d-bbbf-4467-92cf-ca7fdb9f47e5> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.hoosierstatebets.com/betamerica-sportsbook-indiana/ | 2023-09-26T06:12:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.93869 | 676 |
How Stereotypes Contribute to Mental Illness in "Minority" Communities
Stereotypes are insidious little creatures. Some are considered lighthearted and harmless, but often they create a heavy burden for the group they're affecting. When it comes to mental health awareness and access to treatment, stereotypes are a major stumbling block for communities of color.
Let's be honest - society is riddled with stereotypes. We have stereotypes about those facing mental illness, stereotypes about medical professionals who treat them, and of course stereotypes about each and every racial/ethnic group. I think the prevalence of these very simplified ideas about groups of people are born out of fear and lack of understanding. If we don't "get" a group of people, or we see ourselves as different from them, putting them in a neat little box with surface-level concepts of who they are and how they function in the world is comforting. We don't try to get to know people up-close.
With July being National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, this is the perfect time to encourage yourself to learn about the beautiful and varied cultures and groups that make up this country. It's also a great time to get free of limiting stereotypes that detract from our society and only serve to make it laden with illness, struggle, pain, and feelings of isolation, misunderstanding and fear.
Stereotypes about Mental Health Care Providers
Do you know one of the most common "compliments" I hear from my patients? "You're the most normal psychiatrist I've ever met!" That comment always makes me chuckle, though I suppose it's not really funny. If I'm hearing that comment from people who have invested enough in their mental health care to have seen several psychiatrists, imagine what people who have never seen a psychiatrist or therapist must think of us. Hollywood, bad doctors, and chatrooms/groups online complaining about care they've received, does nothing to help the misconceptions.
The overall distrust the general public has for helping professionals in the mental health field is staggering. Not only that, but many doctors in the medical field who are not psychiatrists have a lot to say about those of us that are - and it's often not great. In fact, I contribute the shortage America has in psychiatrists to the stereotypes that psychiatrists are "crazy" and are not "real doctors". Obviously, these ideas impair everyone's access to mental health care, but especially racial/ethnic minorities - whose cultures are often suspicious of the medical establishment anyway.
So let me help you with this. I have a host of wonderfully talented, warm, dedicated colleagues in psychiatry. They are not interested in playing mind games on you, overprescribing medicine, talking to you about their personal problems, or trying to seduce you. Of course, in anything run by people, you will find imperfections or even people that you should avoid. Do research on a provider before you see them, get recommendations, and when you visit, if the session feels very uncomfortable or like there may be a personality clash, visit someone else.
Stereotypes About Those Facing Mental Illness
People with mental health diagnoses, or even those who are not diagnosed but seem "off" to others, are often thought of as burdens to society. They are thought to be violent, weak, looking for attention, lazy and worthless. No wonder people will keep it a secret if they are struggling! No one would want to be seen like this, and no matter how supportive your family or friends may be, people with mental health issues have a very high chance of running into someone with these misconceptions.
The irony, though, is that the majority of society is facing some sort of mental or emotional challenge. 70% of Americans have experienced some sort of trauma by adulthood. 33% of women will be sexually assaulted at some point in their lifetime. 7% of Americans are depressed. 6% of Americans have social anxiety. I could go on and on...
The point is that by the time you add up all of the different mental and emotional conditions we have in America, you'll see nearly everyone is impacted in some way! If you're not directly impacted, your spouse, child, parent, or other loved one is. In fact, it is projected that by the year 2020, mental illness and substance abuse will be the most prevalent medical issues in our country. That's in less than two years, folks.
People with mental health issues are not "maniacs", "cuckoo", or "lunatics" howling at the moon. The truth is, they are just like you and I.
Stereotypes About Minorities
In order to change the impact that stereotypes have on us as a community, we have to identify what they are. Apparently, American society is expert at teaching stereotypes. I asked my daughter today to give me the top stereotypes she's heard about African-Americans, Asians, Latinos, and Native Americans. She could tell me 7 stereotypes, with at least one being about each group. She's 9 years old.
African-Americans and all others of the African Diaspora in America are often saddled with the stereotypes of being lazy, violent or aggressive, dishonest, and excessively strong. I don't mean a good strong, I mean not-quite-human strong. I mean so strong you have no feelings. For those outside this community, these stereotypes make it harder to identify signs of mental illness, empathize, or offer help. And for those of us within this community, these stereotypes keep us from feeling we can ask for help, or are even deserving of help. Hear more in this brief video shared by Lauren Taylor on YouTube:
Asian-Americans are unfortunately weighed down by stereotypes that appear to be compliments, but are more like prisons. The "model" minority, Asians are thought to be perfect students, perfect children, perfect employees. Because of these ideas, they are limited by familial and cultural pride that make signs of weakness an embarrassment. In addition, older Asian-Americans were not raised to discuss their emotions, or to even display them. As a result of these factors, Asian-American youth have the second highest rates of suicide in the country. I have always noted that when I see Asian-American patients, their symptoms are pretty severe. I think it's because they, like other groups, delay mental health treatment until they've reached a crisis point. See more of how positive stereotypes can be harmful in this video from Arizona State University:
Latinos are the highest uninsured group in America, and also have the highest number of teens considering suicide. I only expect that to worsen in the current political climate. Going to school in a place with a large Caribbean and Latino community, I have heard all manner of stereotypes about Hispanics and Latinos. Things like "Spanish people are family-oriented" sounds like a compliment on its face. But the concept of the solid rock of Latino families is a double-edged sword. It leads children who need mental health care to feel guilty for their struggle - as they feel it may hurt their parents' feelings or indicate that the family hasn't been good enough to them. Likewise, parents may feel guilty when their children need outside help from a counselor or psychiatrist - as if they have failed to provide enough emotional support. In school, I heard of the "HLF" or hysterical Latin female as a frequent stereotype. Hispanic women and Latinas are seen (and cast in Hollywood) as over-the-top, dramatic types. Obviously that stereotype is damaging to the woman who needs help and sees herself as being ridiculous - or the doctor that encounters her and thinks she is. Learn more here in this great video from We Are Mitu:
And what about Native Americans? Tragically, they make up only 1.2% of the American population today. Yet, there are over 800,000 Native Americans with mental health struggles. If ever a group had a reason to be distrustful and angry with the whole of American society, including the medical establishment, they do. When I asked my daughter what stereotypes she knows about them, she said they "all run around with bows and arrows and feathers on their head." Of course that's not true, but how many think it kind of is? And what's more, we have sports teams whose names essentially ridicule the killing of Native Americans, and the majority of Americans see nothing wrong with it. Even though addictions have damaged their community (and with good reason in my opinion), Native Americans are not a group of gambling, lazy, alcoholics - or government fund recipients. But when you know that's what people think of you, would you ask them for help? These young ladies from a 2016 Teen Vogue interview give us more insight:
Common ideas about mental illness amongst all racial/ethnic minorities are that mental health care and therapy is for "white people," greater strength or faith can get you through, and mental health issues are not something to publicly discuss, but should be kept within the family. And a common stereotype about ALL these groups, except Asians, is that they are lazy. That's laughable considering America's racial and ethnic minorities, including Asians, have had to be extremely resilient, perseverant, and hardworking to survive and thrive under a great deal of oppression.
For these reasons and more, I am so encouraged to see the ongoing development of advocacy groups that tend to the specific needs of each community. Just because you are not a part of a particular community by heritage doesn't mean you can't be part of them by heart! We all need to help ourselves and each other. Pledge today to STOP relying on default stereotypes when you think of yourself or others. Let truth and the pursuit of wellness set you free!

Caretaker Medical has announced that Australia’s first virtual hospital has implemented its wireless vital signs monitors for Covid-19 remote patient monitoring and reporting.
The company said that Caretaker remote monitoring platform will help reduce the surge capacity on the Australian healthcare system.
Australia’s’ first virtual hospital programme is claimed to be the brainchild of professor Rod McClure.
Professor McClure, who is the Dean of Medicine at the University of New England, and public health expert, had also served as director at the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention for many years and has worked with similar virtual hospitals in the US.
According to Professor McClure, the Caretaker wireless devices will be deployed to monitor Covid-19 patients in their homes who have moderate symptoms of the virus.
The devices will repeatedly track their vital signs, including heart rate, temperature, oxygen saturation, beat-by-beat blood pressure and breathing.

When Gwyneth (as in Paltrow) started her business, goop, out of her own kitchen back in 2008, she likely didn’t anticipate how her weekly newsletter would affect the lifestyle-trend-loving masses, beginning a role of reigning guru for wellness, travel, beauty, cooking and shopping.
Gwyneth has grown goop into a brand that not only shares opinions and information aimed to help us live better, but sells a complete line of luxury products that includes organic skincare, a line of vitamins, natural fragrances, sustainable fashion, and more–including the headline-making candle, This Smells Like My Vagina.
It only made sense that a partnership with a fabulous, like-minded resort would be the next spin-off, in this case the first permanent hotel retail experience, called the goop Sundries Shop, at Rosewood Miramar Beach in Montecito, California, a lovely, small community close to nearby Santa Barbara.
So rather than a typical, uninspired hotel gift shop, think of this as a curated collection of goop-related goodies that appeal to resort guests and what they’ll experience during their stay. Natural sun protection, athletic wear (hello yoga classes), healthy snacks (not a Cheezit in sight) and upscale swimwear (worthy of the old-Hollywood-glam pools and exclusive beach here) are just some essentials for this type of vacay.
“Overall, we wanted the palette to contain an unexpected mix of materials you can find in any Parisian apartment or terrazzo at a train station in Milan, but very rarely will you see them together,” says Kate McCollough, a partner at KMZ New York who designed the 400-square-foot space. “The monochromatic color palette unifies these seemingly disjointed materials, creating an interior we hope will feel elegant, modern and a touch unexpected.”
The Rosewood Miramar Beach opened in early 2019, with 161 super-luxe guestrooms and suites. It’s a design-lovers dream hotel, now boasting a star connection through goop. | <urn:uuid:63873593-fb69-48c7-b95c-eaeef64f43bb> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.hotel-addict.com/2020/01/20/what-happened-when-one-luxury-california-resort-shunned-the-typical-hotel-gift-shop/ | 2023-09-26T06:13:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.93125 | 447 |

Yes, seam welding wheels wear just as spot welding electrodes and they need to be machined back or maintained at their original face contour. This can be done by trading out with a second set of wheels and dressing on a lathe or dress continuously on the seam welder. Some machines employ knurled small wheels which ride on the perimeter of the seam welding wheel. These smaller wheels are designed to skive the wheel surface a little each revolution to maintain the working face of the wheel at a given shape and dimension.
Seam Welder with Knurled drive Wheels
These small wheels also turn the seam welding wheels. This type of drive system provides a constant linear speed for the part as the wheel diameter gets smaller. With a hub driven welder as the wheel size decreases so does the linear speed. This has to be compensated for in order to maintain proper weld spacing.

This is an op-ed that I hoped never to write.
I am in danger of losing hope in America both as an idea and a reality. I fear for the heart and soul of this country. I feel especially sad since America has been exceptionally good to me.
I came from a chronically poor and dysfunctional family. At an early age, school not only became a refuge, but a promise to a better life. Fortunately, I not only excelled in school, but I loved it.
In 1956, I entered The University of California at Berkeley as a freshman. I took 18 units of Engineering at one of the best universities in the world for the piddling sum of $56. When I left Berkeley in 1967 with a PhD in Engineering, I paid only $200 a semester. The government loans that I incurred for living expenses only amounted to some $6,000, all of which were forgiven over a period of 6 years because I was a Professor. In essence, I got a free education, for which I am eternally grateful. To say that I don't mind paying taxes to a society that helped a poor kid become relatively well off is a gross understatement. I only wish I could help other poor kids even more.
Sadly, young people today face a completely different and onerous reality.
College education is prohibitively expensive with no guarantee of a good and meaningful job at the end. Healthcare while more available than ever is still too costly. It's still not viewed as a basic human right as it is in Europe. Our income inequality is among the highest in the world. The 1 percent don't get it that you can't have a viable society if wealth is concentrated mainly in the hands of a very few. Modern economies are kept afloat by spending by the middle classes. If the middle classes don't have as much money to spend, then the whole economy suffers. And then there is the god-awful issue of guns. We are the most heavily armed society in the world and yet it has not brought us greater safety or piece of mind. Indeed, we live in abject fear of one another.
I am too old to leave a country that has been so good to me and that I love dearly. But if I were just starting out, I'd seriously consider going to Europe where the social safety nets are greater and one doesn't have to worry constantly about being killed or maimed by guns.
Why did it take the killing of 9 black people to get rid of one of the worst symbols of racism? What will it take to make this society less fearful and get rid of the over 300,000,000 guns in private hands? What will it take to make the super wealthy realize that it's in everybody's best interests to spread wealth more evenly?
I fear for my 7-year-old grandson. What are we bequeathing to him and all the other children in this country?
I want desperately to believe once again in the American dream. But I don't know how.

Family house in Austria-frameless sliding door system
Architects: Loos and Mayer
An extension and reconstruction of a terraced house in Vienna, on Heuberg. The terraced house was built in the 1920s, according to the plans of the architects Loos and Mayer. The terraced house was rebuilt, renovated and expanded.
iFRAME team made valuable contributions to the project in Austria through cooperative and efficient cooperation in planning and assembly, across national borders. The peculiarity of the request for plaster flush version of the facade has been met, the slim profiles match the creative economy of old buildings. Technical and safety requirements are optimally met, even that the high iFRAME doors are smooth and lockable.
Frameless door system Characteristics
A combination of the iFRAME frameless sliding door and openable frameless glazing above was the ideal solution for this space. With the installation of big frameless glazings we´ve brought a significant amount of light into the house . The slim profiles of the iFRAME sliding system fit the old building´s design, just as expected. In addition, the iFRAME sliding doors are smooth and lockable.

Rihanna's Driver's Car Stolen In Latest Incident At The Singer's Home
By Tony M. Centeno
March 27, 2023
Rihanna's property has reportedly been the target of another crime.
According to a report TMZ published on Monday, March 27, a driver for the decorated singer had his car stolen while he was at her home in Los Angeles. Authorities familiar with the incident say the driver had just pulled up to the artist's house last week just to grab something. He left his keys inside the 2012 Audi sedan with the engine running before he ran inside. Once he came back outside, his car had disappeared. He's convinced that someone snuck onto the property and made off with the car.
Police are currently investigating the incident but it seems like the neither the thief nor the vehicle haven't been seen since. It's the second time police have responded to Riri's home in the L.A. area in two weeks. Previously, a man traveled from South Carolina and tried to approach Rihanna's front door to ask for her hand in marriage. The man barely made it up the driveway before security stopped him and called the police. As of this report, it's not known whether Rihanna was actually home for both instances.
Rihanna and her driver aren't the only ones who've been victims of grand theft auto. Jhene Aiko recently had her car stolen too. The Twenty88 singer was at a restaurant in Los Angeles with her family when she witness someone driving off in her white Range Rover. She thought it was someone working in valet where she left the vehicle. Once it wasn't returned, cops were called to the restaurant. So far, police have not confirmed whether or not these incidents are connected. | <urn:uuid:176b93d9-c5e8-4c6b-b54a-64e302ba7aeb> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.iheart.com/content/2023-03-27-rihannas-drivers-car-stolen-in-latest-incident-at-the-singers-home/ | 2023-09-26T05:42:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.988708 | 358 |
Today I bring to you a case study from our neighboring country, China, where a 3-D trademark lawsuit happened between well known Chivas Brothers (known for Scotch whisky, Chivas Regal) and two Shandong companies(Yantai Aowei Winery Co Ltd and Yantai Chivas Winery Co Ltd who produces and sell products under the brand name of Elysee Regal whisky). This is the first 3-D trademark lawsuit for which a decision have given by the Hangzhou intermediate court.
Chivas accused Shandong Companies of infringing their four trademarks (including trademark no. 877656)in 2009.
Chivas have three trademarks on the label, package and the characters written at the bottom and a 3-D trademark on the shape of the bottle.
· After three years of arguments, the Hangzhou intermediate court found out that Shandong Companies does infringe four trademarks of Chivas Brothers which included the three dimensional trademark on the shape of the bottle.
· Court findings of infringing activities:
§ Court said that accused were using the same company name as Chivas Regal (i.e. Elysee Regal).
§ Court found out that the company’s two different entities were involved in this infringement.
§ Court also found out that companies were producing and selling the same infringing products again and again even after being penalized number of times by the administrations for industry and commerce (AICs).
SHAPE COPIED, CHARACTERS WRITTEN AT THE BOTTOM COPIED, PACKAGING COPIED
Court ruled in the favor of Chivas Brothers and the decision was welcomed by the fraternity who owns 3-D trademarks for their products. This is the first ruling that have been given on the 3-D trademark in China.
Court gave these decisions in this case:
· Court asked Shandong Companies to immediately cease the infringing activities.
· It also told Shandong Companies to make an apology to Chivas Brothers in the newspapers.
· Court asked the accused party to pay a fine of Rmb 500,000 to the plaintiff. | <urn:uuid:9e3d82b5-3843-46f8-bdcc-0eba5f75d9ab> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.iipta.com/china-won-trademark-lawsuit/ | 2023-09-26T06:13:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.94581 | 455 |

Summary of the Event: A 57-year-old male with chronic pancreatitis presented with an enlarging pseudocyst which was treated with endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided cystogastrostomy. Three days later, he presented with massive hematemesis, and abdominal computed tomography (CT) revealed hemorrhage within both the pseudocyst and the stomach. Endoscopic evaluation was impossible due to the massive amount of hematemesis. Angiography delineated a small pseudoaneurysm with contrast extravasation involving the branch of the splenic artery. Embolization using n-butyl-2 cyanoacrylate was performed leading to the immediate cessation of bleeding.
Teaching Point: The risk of delayed hemorrhage after EUS-guided cystogastrostomy for a pancreatic pseudocyst should always be kept in mind. Angiography should be considered for the diagnostic and therapeutic purpose when hemostasis is not possible using an endoscope.
Keywords: Aneurysm, false, Interventional ultrasonography, Pancreatic pseudocyst, Therapeutic embolizaiton
Pseudocyst development is a common complication of pancreatitis, with an incidence as high as 20% to 40% in chronic pancreatitis.1 While many pseudocysts are asymptomatic or resolve spontaneously with conservative management, some require treatment.2 Although surgery has been the standard technique for pseudocyst drainage, the use of endoscopic methods is increasing because of the shorter hospital stays, the better physical and mental health of patients and the lower cost with equal efficacy compared with that of surgical treatment.3 Frequently reported complications after endoscopic drainage include secondary infection of the pseudocyst, hemorrhage, development of a pneumoperitoneum, or stent migration, of which the most worrisome is severe hemorrhage which occurs at a rate of 5% to 15%.4 In this manuscript, we present a case of delayed, i.e., more than 24 hours, hemorrhage caused by a splenic artery pseudoaneurysm occurring after endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided cystogastrostomy, which was diagnosed and treated with angiography. The purpose of this manuscript is to underscore the rupture of a pseudoaneurysm as a cause of delayed hemorrhage after endoscopic drainage of a pancreatic pseudocyst and to emphasize the role of angiography for the diagnosis and treatment.
A 57-year-old male with a long history of alcoholism and chronic pancreatitis presented with an enlarging pseudocyst. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) revealed chronic calcifying pancreatitis and a 6.0-cm × 5.4-cm pseudocyst located in the pancreatic tail closely adjacent to the gastric wall (Fig. 1A).
After one month, the patient was admitted for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and pseudocyst drainage. EUS (GF-UCD260; Olympus of America, Center Valley, PA, USA) was used to image a pseudocyst containing echogenic debris, approximately 5-cm in length, near the pancreatic tail. The pseudocyst was then punctured and a fistula between the pseudocyst and his stomach was created using a 19-gauge aspiration needle (Cook, Bloomington, IN, USA) after careful examination of the regional vasculature using color Doppler ultrasound. A 0.035-inch guidewire (Radifocus; Terumo, Tokyo, Japan) was then advanced over the needle and coiled within the pseudocyst, followed by deployment of an 8-mm × 2-cm HOT SPAXUS® lumen-apposing metal stent (Taewoong Medical, Goyang, Korea) under fluoroscopic and endoscopic guidance (Fig. 1B, 1C).
Three days later, the patient presented with loss of consciousness for a few seconds followed by massive hematemesis. His systolic blood pressure was measured approximately 70 mmHg, and laboratory tests showed a decreased hemoglobin level, i.e. 12.3 g/L from 15.1 g/L. An abdominal CT scan showed a large hematoma within both the pseudocyst and his stomach (Fig. 2A). Angiography was performed because endoscopic evaluation was impossible due to the massive amount of hematemesis. Celiac angiography delineated a small pseudoaneurysm at the origin of one short gastric artery from the splenic artery (Fig. 2B). The short gastric artery was then selectively catheterized and subsequent angiography demonstrated contrast extravasation into the pseudocyst (Fig. 2C). Embolization was performed using n-butyl-2 cyanoacrylate (NBCA) (Histoacryl; B Braun, Sempach, Switzerland) which was mixed with ethiodized oil (Lipiodol; Andre Guerbet, Aulnay-Sous-Bois, France) at a ratio of 1:3. Subsequent angiography performed after embolization showed disappearance of the pseudoaneurysm without a further bleeding focus (Fig. 2D).
Gastroduodenoscopy performed two days later showed that the cystogastrostomy stent was in the original place and without active bleeding (Fig. 2E). Thereafter, the patient was discharged in stable condition following one week of hospitalization, and the stent was removed one month later with resolution of the pseudocyst (Fig. 2F).
Pseudocyst development is a common complication of pancreatitis, with an incidence as high as 20% to 40% in chronic pancreatitis patients.1 Indications of treatment for pancreatic pseudocysts include the presence of symptoms, enlargement, or being complicating by infection, bleeding or obstruction of the gastric outlet or the biliary tract.3
Endoscopic drainage is less invasive than surgery and has a shorter post-procedural recovery period and subsequently a shorter hospital stay.3 It is accomplished by creation of a fistula and stent placement between the pseudocyst and the stomach (cystogastrostomy) or between the pseudocyst and the duodenum (cystoduodenostomy).5 Currently, EUS-guided drainage is widely used as a safer method as it identifies interposed blood vessels and thus reduces the risk of bleeding.6,7
Bleeding is a life-threatening complication of endoscopic drainage. It usually occurs either during the procedure or in the early post-procedural period and often arises from cystoenterostomy margins due to a vascular injury which can be controlled by endoscopic coagulation.8 This case underlines the risk of delayed, i.e. more than 24 hours, hemorrhage occurring after EUS-guided cystogastrostomy, which is a rare complication with only a few cases reported.8
Delayed hemorrhage after EUS-guided cystogastrostomy may be a late manifestation of puncture-related arterial injury. In this case, the proximal part of the short gastric artery was seen as pseudoaneurysm, and it is thought to be due to puncture-related injury. Another cause of delayed hemorrhage may be explained as being due to the enzyme contained in the pancreatic pseudocyst. Pancreatic pseudocysts contain a lytic enzyme, such as elastase, which has a lytic effect on the elastic component of vessel walls. These enzymes might cause the development of a pseudoaneurysm in the adjacent arteries.8
Endoscopy is usually the first investigation performed when post-procedural hematemesis occurs. However, contraindication, e.g. unstable vital sign, or failure to arrest hemorrhage endoscopically should be followed up with angiography as soon as possible, especially a patient in critical condition. Although ultrasound, color Doppler, and CT may reveal a fresh clot in the pseudocyst and display the pseudoaneurysm, angiography is the most useful method of investigation as it not only confirms the diagnosis but provides access for transcatheter arterial embolization. The reported success rates of transcatheter arterial embolization of a pseudoaneurysm complicating pancreatitis ranges from 79% to 100%.9
In conclusion, the risk of hemorrhage complicating endoscopic drainage of a pancreatic pseudocyst must be kept in mind even in the late post-procedural period. Angiography should be considered first in considering the diagnostic and therapeutic purpose when hemostasis is impossible or has failed when using an endoscope.

With graduation looming and an increasingly competitive job market waiting, the importance of differentiation is more crucial than ever. The IMA Accounting Honor Society (IAHS) offers students the opportunity to stand out from their peers and gain recognition for their academic achievements.
IAHS membership is available to all students – IMA® (Institute of Management Accountant) members and nonmembers alike – who meet the following eligibility criteria:
- Attend an accredited college or university in the U.S.
- Be a declared accounting, finance, or IT major
- Have taken a minimum of three accounting courses
- Be enrolled in junior year or later in an undergraduate program, or a graduate or Ph.D. program
- Have an overall and accounting GPA of 3.0
- Provide a transcript as proof of eligibility
- Pay a one-time fee of $50 for lifetime membership
To be accepted into IAHS, students can be nominated by a professor or they can provide proof of meeting eligibility requirements. As part of IAHS benefits, members receive a Certificate of Recognition, a graduation cord, digital badge recognition, access to a members-only LinkedIn group, and a digital newsletter. IAHS is supported by a Corporate Advisory Board composed of influential leaders from the business and education communities.
William Koprowski, Ph.D., professor of accounting at University of North Carolina at Asheville and long-time CMA® (Certified Management Accountant), has been a strong supporter of the program since its inception in 2015. Koprowski says that his school offers IAHS membership to all senior accounting majors who meet the eligibility requirements.
|Students at UNC Asheville are recognized as IAHS members during an annual awards ceremony.|
Koprowski says that IAHS serves an important purpose: “We are a fairly small program and don’t have a Beta Alpha Psi chapter on campus, so this is an excellent way to recognize our outstanding students.” He explains that the school holds an awards breakfast each spring, where, as part of the ceremony, IAHS inductees take a pledge and receive their graduation cord.
IAHS membership has become so coveted, Koprowski reports, that students now come to him and inquire about why they weren’t asked to join. “I have to tell them we only do it for seniors right now – they’ll have to wait until next year!” he says.
For more information about IAHS, please visit www.iahs.org or contact IAHS Member Services at (800) 638-4427. | <urn:uuid:ed747abe-7f89-40d0-b6a5-58b310f8c39c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.imanet.org/newsletters/campus-connection/2018/march/iahs-membership-helps-students-stand-out?psso=true | 2023-09-26T06:48:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.957291 | 529 |
How successfully men and women will adjust to the problems arising from the physical and mental changes that accompany aging and from the changes in status that occur at this time will be influenced by many factors, some of which are beyond their control. The most important of these factors are given and briefly explained in below:
Some Factors Influencing Adjustment to Old Age
Preparation for Old Age
Those who have not prepared themselves psychologically or economically for the changes that old age inevitably brings often find adjusting to these changes a traumatic experience.
The difficulties experienced in adjusting to old age are often the result of earlier learning of certain forms of adjustment that are not appropriate to this period of the life span.
Satisfaction of Needs
To be well adjusted in old age, men, and women must be able to satisfy their personal needs and live up to the expectations of others within the framework of life provided for them.
Retention of Old Friendships
The more old friendships the elderly are able to retain, the better adjusted and happier they will be. Moving to other areas or outliving their friends militates against this.
Attitudes of grown children toward their elderly parents and frequent associations with them contribute to good personal and social adjustment on the part of the elderly.
One of the greatest handicaps to good adjustment in old age is society’s unfavourable attitude toward the elderly.
A resistant attitude toward aging and to adjustment to the changes aging brings is a serious obstacle to successful adjustment in old age.
Method of Adjustment
Rational methods include accepting the limitations of age, developing new interests, learning to give up one’s children, and not dwelling on the past; irrational methods include denying the changes that come with age and trying to continue as before, becoming preoccupied with the pleasures and triumphs of bygone days, and wanting to be dependent on others for bodily care.
Chronic illness is a greater handicap to adjustment than temporary illness, even though the latter may be more severe while they last than the former.
When elderly people are forced to live in places that make them feel inferior, inadequate, and resentful, this has an unfavourable effect on the kind of adjustments they make to old age.
It is especially difficult for elderly people to adjust to financial problems because they know that they will have little or no opportunity to solve them, as they could when they were younger.
There are many criteria that can be used to assess the kind of adjustment elderly people make, four of which are especially useful. They are quality of behaviour patterns, changes in emotional behaviour, personality changes, and life satisfaction or happiness. Each of these criteria will be discussed below. | <urn:uuid:06784269-92ee-475b-84b8-a249f11cd48e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.imbalife.com/assessment-of-adjustments-to-old-age | 2023-09-26T07:03:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.957587 | 570 |

When Gordon Gekko says, 'greed is good,' we tend not to empathize with him instead opting to scorn his ‘all for me’ mentality. The word 'selfish' is most often used in a derisive manner. Furthermore, we have been counseled from an early age about the virtues of sharing and giving, albeit for some of us, it was a forced lesson. But is this really the best lesson in all situations, particularly in business?
There is a common misconception that a selfish person makes for an unmanageable employee. After all, they are only in it for themselves. Perhaps this person will actually destroy the team dynamic that we all strive for within our organizations. We frequently seek out the 'all for one and one for all' mentality. We truly want the 'rah-rah, go team' imbued throughout our organization. We also love to repeat the mantra that 'there is no I in team.' What we overlook, is that while there may not be an 'I' in team, there is a 'me.' Organizations don’t pay positive attention to the ‘me’ oriented employees at their own peril. They miss on the opportunity to gain highly self-motivated team members whose working end result will significantly benefit the organization.
The selfish employee can actually be the hardest working member of the team. However, we do need to distinguish between the selfish employee and the obstinate employee. A selfish employee is seeking satisfaction of their personal drivers. They are willing to do the work and sometimes even ‘go beyond’ in their personal driver satisfaction efforts. A selfish employee is not obstinate or insubordinate, rather focused on attaining their personal goals. By providing the path to this satisfaction, an employer can harness this selfish motivation for the greater good of the organization.
An obstinate employee is someone that refuses to do the work assigned and frequently conjures up avoidance methods. There may be many reasons for this resistance, such as confusion and fear, but left unaddressed this employee will create serious risk for the continuing viability of the team. But if the underlying reasons are successfully addressed, this employee can be transformed into a productive team member.
Consider the great statesman Gandhi. When he would move to a new area, he would immediately busy himself with communal needs. When others pointed to him as an example of unselfish giving, he would pointedly correct them. His communal activities were merely a means to him benefiting from them. In other words, while his actions were altruistic, his intentions were selfish. Thus, selfish can also be a useful trait for the greater good.
An organization is also a community. This community relies on the diverse inputs from its members and the able direction of its leaders. As a leader in this community, one of your primary tasks is building a motivated team. This is not a static task, rather a continuing activity with endless iterations. Today’s motivated team can easily be tomorrow’s disillusioned crew without constant attention and nurturing.
However, motivation doesn’t exist in a vacuum nor is it isolated or coincidental. The progressive organizational/team leader understands that motivation is created and harnesses through careful delivery of personal drivers. In other words, being able to deliver on each team member’s Personal Return on Investment (PROI).
A grand bargain must be made with each team member. In exchange for their active personal investment, manifested by cooperation, participation and contribution, you will provide to them a personal return. The key is to understand the nature of those personal returns. For some it may be public recognition, enhanced status within the company, promotion opportunities, increased compensation or even just an easier and/or more efficient way to accomplish everyday tasks. There may be more than one return for a single person and there may be other returns not enumerated above. Either way, it behooves the attentive and progressive team leader to be able to deliver on these returns.
While employers give significant credence to the team-oriented employee, they frequently overlook the value of the selfish employee. This is a common mistake. While the team-oriented employee ostensibly operates for the greater good, they ignore their own personal drivers. It is likely that their motivation levels will drop-off at some future time. The selfish employee is motivated by their own personal drivers. Satisfy those drivers and deliver on the PROI and that employee will continue indefinitely with a high level of self-motivation.
By finding the PROI of your team members, communicating to them the path for achieving them, and then delivering on your end of the grand bargain, a team of selfish employees can indeed be an organization’s best friend and powerful tool for continued success.

Karnataka Tourism’s flagship luxury train, the Golden Chariot is now available for charter at only $70000 (Rs. 3,500,000).
The minister said: “Around 80 tourists can travel in the train per tour. By introducing the charter service, private individuals or organizations can have their tours. All the facilities would be provided by KSTDC.”
Anand Singh said the charter service will be introduced to popularize the service. “KSDTC is yet to work on modalities on the charter service. Golden Chariot will continue to have regular trips as per existing schedules. From October to March there will be four trips in each month,” he said.
The ministry will invite tenders from private players in a sealed ballot arrangement and the train will be completely let out to the winning tender for independent luxury train tours for the trains 2 journeys – The Pride of the South and the Southern Splendor. The rental for the former is further subsidized at only $64000 (Rs. 3,200,000)
Anand Singh said the railway ministry, which is facilitating Golden Chariot operations, reduced the charge for using its infrastructure. “Earlier it was charging `36 lakhs per tour. Now it has been reduced to around `24 lakhs. The railway ministry’s decision has given us a respite.”
The move has apparently been welcomed by many and although it remains to be seen whether the KSTDC has played its cards right, it is definitely a move in the right direction. | <urn:uuid:a4e2be46-3628-4976-a84c-d98d35fa22cd> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.indianluxurytrains.com/blog/golden-chariot-is-now-available-for-charter-at-70000-3-5-million-inr/ | 2023-09-26T05:54:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.968601 | 323 |

Today, we’re going to talk about traits in Dead in Vinland.
In Dead in Vinland, we have several types of traits:
- Historical & random traits that are available at the start of a new game.
- Traits that you gain throughout the game
- Temporary traits
- Traits that are diseases/wounds
Before going further, let’s explain what a trait is. A trait is a characteristic that is given to each character. They will have many effects. They can for instance give a bonus of XP or decrease the skills of a character.
Finally, the traits can be either good or bad for the character. Hence, there are 2 columns in the traits menu: traits in the green column will give a bonus to the character, while those in the red one will give him/her a penalty.
Now, we’ll talk about the historical and random traits at the start of the game. As you know, each character has his/her own personality. For example, in the game, Eirik blames himself for what happened to his family, and Kari loves adventures. Well, that has an impact in the game! Each character has one good and one bad historical trait when you start the game.
When designing the characters of the Dead In series, we’ve always faced 2 problems: we wanted replayability and random elements, but we want real, living characters, not just faces without stories. It’s kind of contradictory, because the backstory and physical characteristics of characters give you strong constraints that will stick to this character. For example, an old man couldn’t have the skills of a strong, fierce young man. Things like that. So, we must deal with FIXED, logical characteristics for characters, and add a little randomness whenever it’s possible.
That’s why in Dead in Vinland each character starts with a set of HISTORIC traits, that are fixed and tailored for him/her only, and a set of random, lesser characteristics drawn from a pool of traits. Each character starts with 2 historical Trait, and 2 random negative Traits, and each time you level up you may choose between 5 positive traits for your character. They start quite bad at everything, but they’ll soon learn to be true survivors.
“Potential hero” and “lasting remorse” are Eirik’s historical traits while “Coward 1” and “Stubborn” are random traits
Let’s take this example. Potential Hero will increase Eirik’s Concentration and Endurance skills 50% faster. However, because of “lasting remorse”, his depression will decrease 25% slower. That’s not all! Each character will have 2 red traits that are generated randomly. For example, Eirik can have as his random traits “Coward 1” and “Stubborn”. But it’ll be different for each player!
We implemented those two systems because we wanted the characters’ personality to have a true impact of the game. Plus, this allows each player to have a different experience.
Next, we’ll talk about the traits that you gain throughout the game. When you explore the island for example, your choices may trigger some new traits.
A pyromaniac Moira… What is happening to her?
Those traits won’t disappear over time. That’s why you should be very careful with your choices, as they could add some new layers of difficulty. We really want the players to feel they’re playing with deep characters that can evolve throughout the game, and the choices they make can have quite big consequences.
Hum, looks like Moira got a “Blessed” trait, and this one could be helpful. How did she get it though?
Then, let’s mention the temporary traits. They can also be gained in the game, but the difference with the previous ones is that they disappear over time. You’ll also gain them in the game because of your choices (dialogue choices for example).
Kari didn’t want to upset her dad, and now she’ll be depressed for 3 days.
Those traits won’t be as impactful, but you should still be wary of them, as depression is one way to die in Dead in Vinland for example.
Finally, in Dead in Vinland, you can get diseases or wounds. Those also count as traits. There are 2 ways to get those. During exploration, when you miss a skill check for example.
And finally, if you lose too many HP in battle, you can get some injuries. Those will count as traits.
Blodeuwedd’s arm will take 5 days to heal.
And that’s a wrap about traits! As you saw, there are many traits in Dead in Vinland, and some are quite beneficial (the green column), others will add penalties to the characters, and the player will have a harder time to survive. But it will be fun. We promise.

The right wedding decorations can remodel any spot into a magical place. Even so, the place by itself will influence your decision of marriage ceremony decoration. For instance, are you getting your wedding indoors or outdoor? Is the marriage ceremony ceremony heading to be held in church? If not, will the wedding ceremony ceremony and the wedding reception be held at the identical spot or at different spots? What time of working day will the marriage ceremony be held? Also what time of the yr will it be? All these variables need to be held in thoughts while choosing your marriage decorations.
Before you choose on your marriage decorations, it is incredibly important to check out out the locations and discover out if they have any distinct guidelines or rules with regards to wedding decorations. If you are obtaining married in a church locate out what decorations will presently be in area on the day of your wedding ceremony. Soon after chair covers for wedding , you do not want to invest a good deal of time and cash getting stunning wedding decorations and then find out that they seem all improper in the place or that the guidelines of the spot forbid you from making use of individuals or that you did not need them in the 1st place. Also maintain in head the type and colours of the wedding ceremony and the theme, if any. When thinking about the marriage decorations, maintain in mind not just the decorations on their own but also the variety of lights you want.
For the ceremony alone, concentrate first on obtaining your marriage decorations for the altar or the altar equal. This is due to the fact that is the place you will be obtaining married and that is in which the total target of the attendees will be. The other two crucial locations necessitating wedding decorations are the pews and the doorway via which you will be moving into. When it arrives to the area of your reception, the regions that should have top precedence for decoration are the head table exactly where you will be sitting and which will be the concentrate of the celebrations, the centerpieces for the tables, the entrance and the dance floor. In addition to this, there may be some other aspect distinctive to the places of your wedding that you might want to emphasize or camouflage via the use of wedding ceremony decorations.
When it comes to wedding ceremony decorations, the most common are inclined to be flowers, candles and ribbons. Flowers, both real ones and silk kinds, can transform any area. Preferably, pick bouquets that appear in the marriage ceremony hues. Also if you decide to go in for real flowers then preserve in head what flowers will be in season. Candles and candelabras are equally magical and handful of factors are as passionate as a wedding ceremony by candlelight. For included drama, shallow bowls of h2o with floating candles. Votives are a wonderful concept as nicely. Even so, the sum of normal light-weight you get at the marriage ceremony area is one thing that you ought to verify out ahead of you go in for this choice. Ribbons are also a common choices specifically when merged with flowers or candles. Ribbons are also a great way to boost a certain concept. The ribbons can be of satin, organza, tulle or even straightforward netting.
Now that your choose a topic or the wedding decorations, you can choose and decide on wedding ceremony favors. The exact origin of marriage ceremony favors is missing in the mists of time. Nonetheless, evidently the personalized of supplying visitors anything to consider back with them has been close to for sometime in several cultures. Information from Rome at the turn of the 1st millennium display that nobility usually handed out presents to the attendees at a wedding ceremony banquet. In 16th and seventeenth century England, it was common for the satisfied bride and groom to give their attendees enjoy knots manufactured of lace and ribbon. Whatsoever the origins, the customized has stayed on and is nowadays 1 of the integral areas of the wedding ceremony celebration.
These days there are a variety of favors to suit each taste and every price range. Even so, if you like the easy elegance of the times absent by and are obtaining a standard wedding ceremony ceremony, you might want to consider a search at some traditional wedding favors. You may get some concepts that will assist you uncover a marriage ceremony favor that matches proper in with the standard theme of your marriage.
The earliest of wedding favor traditions consisted of ribbons and lace knotted collectively to symbolize the knot of marriage. If you like the concept of ribbons, but are hunting for a way to update it a little bit, one way of carrying out so is to tie up your favors in a mass of various coloured ribbons. That is a mixture of the outdated and new that you just are unable to defeat.
Is there anything at all that symbolizes really like far better than flowers? Flowers, particularly orange blossoms, are really well-known at Spanish weddings. For a conventional wedding favor with a present day twist, contemplate providing your visitors orange blossoms in a bud vase or even seeds or bulbs for flowers that they can go back again and plant in their personal gardens.
A Dutch standard wedding ceremony favor that suits appropriate in with our moments is that of “Bridal Sugar” – 5 items of candy to symbolize the five wedding ceremony needs of love, contentment, prosperity, loyalty and fertility. Candy coated almonds, also identified as Jordan almonds, are equally as wealthy with symbolism as they are with taste. Although the somewhat bitter style of almonds signifies the simple fact that daily life is not usually joyous, the candy signifies the hope that marriage will coat the bitterness of daily life with sweetness. To insert a even more layer of symbolism, give out an odd number of almonds – odd quantities can’t be divided equally into two and hence symbolize the hope that the married few is not going to be divided at any time once again. Dried fruits are also a wonderful wedding ceremony tradition, symbolizing fertility and the bounty of the harvest. The best portion about these favors? They flavor delicious!

My neighbor's horse took off without her. Had it been wearing a fetlock band the people who found it would have know exactly how to return it. Instead it took a week of searching. I now use my fetlock ID band every time I am on trail whether near my home or not.
Kimberly Dwight, President of Equestrian Trails Corral 138, Palmdale, CA
I have been using temporary ID bands for my horses because I live in an area prone to fires. The problem was that they need to be replaced every 2 weeks. I now ONLY use the Fetlock ID bands on my horses 24/7. I won’t allow any of my horses leave my property without at least one Fetlock ID band. I even put a Fetlock ID band on each of my foals within 24 hrs of them being born. I also recently gelded my stallion and forgot about that the Fetlock ID band was on his leg, after all the bleeding, washing, etc. the next day I removed the band and with a little soap, water and vinegar it was back to looking brand new. I highly recommend that everybody get these for peace of mind. Wendie Hazlett, Curly Bashkir breeder, Acton, CA
I wanted an identification piece so that in the event my horse and I became separated on the trail we would be able to with one another again. I put the fetlock ID band on my horse anytime we go on a trail. Katie H., Anaheim, CA

Zesty fresh Asian chicken salad served Mexican taco style!
Move over grilled Mexican meat, there’s a new kid on the block with an exciting bold Asian kick! Delicious chicken seasoned to sour, salty, spicy and nutty perfection. Topped with fresh aromatic herbs and all wrapped up in a taco.
Chicken, Lime, and cilantro what could be a more Mexican combination? Chicken, lime and cilantro, what could be a more Asian combination? Wait, what? Exactly! It’s a combination proven around the world! While you will find fresh cilantro and lime as toppings for delicious grilled chicken in Mexico, you often find them in delicious salads when in South East Asia. Time to create another fusion food love child! Larb salad made from lime marinated chicken, therefore, makes for a perfect substitute in delicious tacos. Packed with flavor, aromatic herbs, and crunchy toppings, this salad is more than worthy to enter the taco filling beauty contest 2018!
I always thought that the Larb salad was from Thailand. Well, turns out it’s actually a dish from Laos.
The flavors in this dish are classical combinations that have proven themselves over and over again. Fish sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar is a combo that can be found a lot in South East Asian cooking, while cilantro and lime are not only found there but in South American cuisine as well. You can find these classic combos in my second book Flavor Math, as #2 and #7. The book features 33 flavor combinations that are tried & trusted around the world (like the ones mentioned), but on top, you will find 33 pairings that are exciting, daring and will spark your creativity! My second book “Flavor Math” is available digitally (PDF) as well!
The ratio of cilantro and mint in this salad is up to you! I prefer my larb salad to have more of a cilantro than a mint taste, but I know that some people like it rather the other way around. Whatever floats your boat – go for it!
One ingredient that’s crucial in larb salads is roasted rice powder (Khao Khua). It’s very easy to make at home. The only things that you need are rice, a skillet, a mortar, and pestle. Toast the uncooked rice grains in a pan over medium-high heat until it’s fragrant and slightly browned. Crush it in the mortar until you have tiny sand grain-like pieces. Done! In a closed container it stays crunchy and fragrant for a few weeks.
In case you want to make this dish vegetarian or vegan, replace the chicken with mushrooms. Button mushrooms work perfectly for this. Slice the mushrooms and cook them over high heat with the juice of only 1 lime (instead of 2) and 50ml vegetable broth until all liquid is evaporated.
(Main meal for 4 eaters, looking for some Asian-Mexican fusion)
- 2 limes
- 600g ground chicken meat – either buy minced chicken or finely chop up chicken thighs for even more flavor!
- 1 small red onion
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons toasted rice powder (see note above)
- 1-2 small Thai chili peppers, depending on your heat tolerance
- 3 spring onions
- 2/3 of a large cucumber
- 1/2 bunch cilantro
- 4 sprigs mint
- 8 small tacos
- 4 tablespoons dry roasted peanuts, crushed
Slice and dice, then hustle up a delicious taco filling
You want the zest of 1 lime but the juice of 2. So zest 1 lime, but juice both of them. Reserve the zest for later. Mix the lime juice and 1 tablespoon of fish sauce with the minced chicken. Cut the red onion into thin slices.
Put a large skillet onto high heat and once hot, add the chicken. Keep stirring and breaking up the chicken into smaller pieces, for about 6-8 minutes. You don’t want big chunks.
Once the chicken is cooked through and starts to brown, turn off the heat. Add the remaining tablespoon of fish sauce, 2 tablespoons toasted rice powder, the brown sugar, and sliced red onions. Stir until well combined.
Cut the cucumber into matchsticks, and slice up the spring onion and chili peppers into fine rings. Chop the cilantro and mint. Add the cucumber, chili pepper, most of the spring onion, mint and cilantro to the chicken mixture. Stir until well incorporated.
Place the filling on the tacos and sprinkle with the remaining sliced spring onion, as well as the roasted peanuts and remaining rice powder.
Sprinkle the lime zest over your tacos and serve them immediately!

PS: This recipe is inspired by my American friend Nick who I met when I was traveling to Porto, Portugal in 2017. When we were catching up in a craft beer pub in Amsterdam we talked food and Nick mentioned that he loves tacos and Asian food. He had the idea of creating a Larb gai taco – Sorry Nick for stealing your thunder. I honestly hope you like my take on it! 🙂

The corporate world we live and work in today is developing and growing at an enormous rate. There have never been so many companies, so many niche industries and specialization, and so many career options. While this is certainly good news for employees and companies alike, it does occasionally create some problems too.
Because there are so many companies, that means that there’s always a lot of competition on nearly every market. Therefore, businesses are expected to excel, and employees are expected to be more productive and more efficient than ever before. And this can, naturally enough, be extremely stressful and overwhelming. But there’s an additional catch - because there are so many job opportunities (global ones too, with the rise of remote work), employees don’t hesitate too much to look for another job in order to escape the pressure and stressful atmosphere.
This kind of vicious cycle of employee turnover is symptomatic of another pretty serious issue - employee burnout. There is no doubt that burnout only creates problems, both for workers themselves but also for companies. And it’s not easy to recognize, let alone treat. But it’s not impossible either.
This article will deal with how to use employee productivity tracking software to detect early signs of burnout and what to do when you find them. Hopefully, it will help you get a happier and more engaged workforce, and consequently reduce turnover.
How Serious of a Problem is Employee Burnout?
As we’ve hinted, employee burnout is a pretty big issue. This is clear to everyone. But what many managers and business owners are wrong about is how widespread it is. You might think that it can happen to a couple of employees from time to time, but the reality is that it’s much more common than that.
Some statistics indicate that 44% of employees undergo occasional burnout and that an additional 23% feel burned out most of the time. Which means that well over half of your workforce isn’t happy or engaged at their jobs!
To illustrate the full gravity of the situation, let’s see what exactly happens when an employee is burned out.
The first thing that this state of mind invariably brings about is poor performance. An employee just doesn’t care about what they do, so they don’t put in any effort. They do the bare minimum and there’s less and less creativity, initiative and innovation that they’re willing or capable of investing in their work. Or they’re so stressed out that it becomes hard for them to focus and they become sloppy. The second thing that can happen is that they just up and leave the job that they’re not happy with any longer.
Now imagine this happening to half of your employees.
Even if the seriousness of the issue is well understood, there’s one more common misconception among the employers - that it’s not up to them to fix it. In reality, though, the most common reasons for burnout stem from the management, either directly or indirectly. Negative company culture with no support mechanisms and collaboration system where some employees are allowed to do nothing while others are overburdened, work-life disbalance resulting from having to be available all day every day, hectic management with no structure and tangible goals or strict micromanagement practices that don’t allow any flexibility - all of these issues come from the top, and it’s the top that should be responsible for fixing them.
But first, how can you even tell that you have an employee burnout problem in your company?
The Telltale Signs That the Crisis is Underway
There are some pretty conclusive indications that an employee is burned out, such as a sudden lack of motivation, overly critical attitude to their colleagues or even their own work, irritability, etc. But these signs are difficult to notice, especially if you don’t have face-to-face communication with the affected employees. Luckily, there are also some signs that are easier to spot if you’re using employee productivity tracking software to monitor computer activities. We’re going to focus on these.
The first indication that you can look for is procrastination. If someone is experiencing burnout, they will likely have a tough time forcing themselves to get to work. Within your employee productivity tracking software, this will be exhibited either by a late clock-in, or by a regular clock-in followed by a period of inactivity or the use of unproductive apps and websites before finally starting to work on tasks.
This trend of slacking off is probably going to continue into the working day. Indulging in social media, watching funny videos, chatting with friends, or straight-up looking for another job are all obvious ways to deal with the stress. Every distraction will be hard to resist for a burned out worker, and your employee productivity tracking software will detect this kind of activity.
Finally, it’s important to keep in mind that the ultimate result of employee burnout is reduced productivity overall. What this means is that the affected individuals will be less and less productive as time goes by. There’s a very handy statistic in employee productivity tracking software called productivity trends, which shows you whether an employee’s productivity levels are down compared to the previous period and by how much. Now, of course, not every dip in productivity entails burnout, but if you notice that it’s been trailing off for some time, it might be a more telling sign.
How Can You Fix Burnout?
Once you have detected the problems and burned out employees with your monitoring software, it’s time to do something in order to remedy the situation. After all, only by making changes to your management style can you retain your employees.
Reasons for the burnout can be various, but you can always start by helping employees re-engage with the work they do. You can do this by first showing recognition for their accomplishments and efforts, and then by assigning them more responsibility and more meaningful tasks. This will reinforce their value to your company and will hopefully show them that even if they feel overworked from time to time, it’s all for a reason. At the very least, it’ll make them less disinterested.
Another thing you should do is re-evaluate and improve the part of your policy that affects your employees’ work-life balance. Do they have enough vacation days? Are they allowed to work remotely? What about flexible working hours? Overtime and weekend work? Team buildings? Lunch breaks? Benefits? If handled right, these things can significantly reduce overworking and stress, and improve job satisfaction.
And finally, if all else fails, one more tweak you can try in order to reduce burnout is to simply let employees take a break from their usual work. This doesn’t necessarily have to mean giving them extra days off. You can accomplish almost the same effect by giving them different kinds of tasks for a little while. For example, if your top architect is burned out from working on this one building, you can switch them to something else, such as consulting on another project, training new employees, etc.
As we have seen, employee burnout can be a serious problem for a business and it’s way more common that most managers believe. But by using employee productivity tracking software to detect the signs early and then adjusting your strategy to curb the problem will enable you to stay on top of the issue, in turn making your workforce happier and employee turnover lower. | <urn:uuid:718cdd90-e0f4-4e7c-9d5e-d6d411261ba6> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.insightful.io/blog/employee-productivity-tracking-burnout | 2023-09-26T06:38:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.956266 | 1,557 |
Oil Advances Along With Broader Market Gains as Supply Gap Seen
Oil rose to the highest price in more than 2 1/2 years as prospects of an imminent flood of crude exports from Iran and other major producers waned while the International Energy Agency warned of a deepening supply crunch.
Futures in New York advanced 1.6% to close at $75.25 a barrel on Tuesday, the highest settlement since October 2018. Crude supplies are set to “tighten significantly” amid a deadlock among members of the OPEC+ alliance, the IEA said in a report. Meanwhile, a stalemate over whether to revive the Iranian nuclear deal has reduced the threat of a deluge of the nation’s crude onto global markets.

The safe carriage of cargoes is the cornerstone of the bulk carrier industry and yet not all stakeholders are fulfilling their obligations to ensure that Masters and crews are provided with the necessary information to enable cargoes to be shipped safely.
The International Maritime Solid Bulk Cargoes (IMSBC) Code, stipulating the carriage requirements for cargoes, clearly lays out the responsibilities of the various stakeholders in the distribution chain, including the specific information about the cargo that should be provided to the Master.
It is INTERCARGO’s firm belief that some shippers/receivers continue to, either deliberately or due to lack of competence, mis-declare cargoes with tragic consequences INTERCARGO is particularly concerned with Group A cargoes, these being cargoes that may undergo a moisture related cargo failure mechanism such as liquefaction and dynamic separation. Our recent Bulk Carrier Casualty Report highlights the impact that liquefaction has on bulk carrier losses and seafarer deaths. A general cargo vessel, loaded with ball clay from Lamut, Malaysia, was lost in December 2021 when its cargo liquified while on passage. Additionally, there have been cases of vessels loaded in SE Asia with cargoes declared as “ball clay” or “clay” where the cargo has undergone liquefaction, or another moisture related failure mechanism such as dynamic separation. Within the IMSBC Code clay is designated a Group C cargo (cargoes that don’t liquefy). However as the incidents above illustrate, the importance of providing the Master correct information cannot be over-stressed.
INTERCARGO takes an active role at the IMO and other fora to highlight the dangers of liquefaction and to promote the safe carriage of cargoes. To assist the Association’s work, INTERCARGO’s Cargo Panel considers various cargo related matters including liquefaction and advises the Technical Committee accordingly. Members who wish to participate in this group should contact the Secretariat.
INTERCARGO continues to have concerns regarding the misdeclaration of cargo by shippers/receivers – the catastrophic consequences of which are well documented. In addition, INTERCARGO is also troubled by the lack of public availability of accident investigation reports.
The International Maritime Solid Bulk Cargoes (IMSBC) Code, stipulating the carriage requirements for cargoes, clearly lays out the responsibilities of the various stakeholders in the distribution chain, including the specific information about the cargo that should be provided to the Master. With this information the Master is able to make informed decisions on the safe carriage of the cargo which in turn enables the safety of the crew and the vessel. Unfortunately, all too often, cases of cargo mis-declaration (including falsification of laboratory reports) or suspicion of mis-declaration are being reported through official or unofficial channels, this is particularly true of Group A cargoes.
Group A cargoes are those cargoes that may undergo a moisture related cargo failure mechanism such as liquefaction and dynamic separation. In August 2019 liquefaction was the suspected cause for the loss of the Nur Allya, laden with nickel ore. In August 2020, the bulk carrier Zhong Chang He Sheng, also laden with nickel ore, reported liquefaction of its cargo and issued a distress signal due to a risk of capsizing. More recently the general cargo ship Xin Hong issued a distress signal and reported cargo shift and developing list, it was reported that the vessel was carrying clay, a cargo deemed not to liquefy.
Learning lessons from incidents and sharing of experience have proven to be effective approaches to raise safety awareness and to deepen the understanding and knowledge of the existing rules, regulations and skills.
Between 2011 and the end of Jan 2021, only 20 of the 34 reported bulk carrier losses have had investigation reports made available on IMO’s GISIS database, representing 58.8% of the total. Although the average time from incident to a report becoming available has been 16 months for these investigations, in some cases reports from up to 10 years ago are still not available. It is clear that there is a need for improvements in Flag State reporting. | <urn:uuid:be435d7b-c0e6-4634-8f13-b9a004169b76> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.intercargo.org/topics/cargoes-liquefaction/ | 2023-09-26T05:38:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.941652 | 862 |
THE ROLES OF A TRUSTEE OF A MULTI ACADEMY TRUST
Michael Tait explains the key roles of a Multi-Academy Trustee.
A Multi Academy Trust (MAT) is a group of schools in the United Kingdom that work together under a single governance structure, sharing resources, knowledge, and expertise. The role of a Trustee in a MAT is crucial to its success, as they are responsible for setting the strategic direction of the MAT and ensuring that it is well-governed.
Responsibilities of a Trustee of a UK Multi Academy Trust include:

‘Green’ airport focus for Vinci
By Andy Brown14 April 2021
France-based construction powerhouse Vinci has been awarded a 30-year concessions contract by the National Civil Aviation Agency of Brazil for seven airports in the country, and the company has stated that making them more eco-efficient is key.
The airports are: Manaus, Porto Velho, Rio Branco, Bao Vista, Cruzeiro do Sul, Tabatinga and Téfé.
In addition to ensuring the operations, maintenance and modernisation of terminals and runways, Vinci Airports said that they will also transform these airports into eco-efficient infrastructures. This includes them all having a net-zero emissions goal, the setting up of photovoltaic farms, waste and water management, establishment of biodiversity laboratories, and carbon sinks projects with local non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
“Our roadmap is clear: green airports for green growth. In this remote region where air transport is essential, Vinci Airports will make these airports more resilient, and eco-efficient, in order to sustain economic recovery in Brazil, while preserving the planet,” said Nicolas Notebaert, CEO of Vinci Concessions and President of Vinci Airports.
Vinci also said that the development of Manaus, the third largest cargo airport in Brazil, will play a large part in the post-Covid economic recovery of the country. | <urn:uuid:34fe1f05-1d36-4d5f-b8b5-29789979b668> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.international-construction.com/news/-green-airport-focus-for-vinci/8011569.article | 2023-09-26T06:33:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.942951 | 301 |
Experts have warned it is “reasonably certain” the UK is in another wave of Covid-19 – and suggested people should wear face masks again.
Hospital admissions for coronavirus have risen in recent weeks, just as the effectiveness of vaccines is wearing off, a new variant has emerged and ministers have decided Covid boosters will not be offered to nearly 12 million Britons this winter.
The new wave could cause extreme pressure on the health service, with a repeat of last winter’s “unprecedented” NHS crisis of Covid, flu and respiratory virus that came all around the same time.
The new Covid variant, Eris, emerged this summer as hospital admissions rose and estimated numbers of people with Covid jumped by almost 200,000 last month.
A descendant of Omicron, Eris, or EG.5.1, now accounts for between 10 per cent and 16.74 per cent of cases, and is the second-most prevalent strain in the UK, according to the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA).
There are no signs that Eris is more dangerous than other variants. | <urn:uuid:8d7407d4-828d-4575-9f45-3ab5409a40b4> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.internationalfreepress.com/2023/08/new-covid-wave-has-begun-and-masks.html | 2023-09-26T05:24:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.949584 | 235 |
We’ve previously written about doxing and how it can be used by both vigilante social activists and malicious cyber bullies. Recently, in a first-of-its-kind ruling, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia concluded that white supremacists using social media to target and harass American University’s first female African-American student body president were liable to her for over $725,000 in damages.
Much like humans, bots come in all shapes and sizes. In social media networks, these bots can like what you post and even increase your followers. Companies use bots for all types of things—from booking a ride to giving makeup tutorials. Some bots can even solve your legal problems. Besides saving time and money, bots have the potential to reduce errors and increase a business’s customer base. But what happens when bots spy on users and share personal information? Or when they make racial slurs and offensive comments?
Earlier this month, we discussed the ways in which companies should navigate negative critiques and reputation management in the Age of Social Media. One option includes the pursuit of litigation, often demonstrated through claims for defamation. This course of action can typically be found in the context of a negative review: a company provides a service, customer is unhappy with the service, customer posts negative review about company online. In California, a company that wishes to claim said review has crossed a line must then prove (1) the customer made a false, defamatory statement concerning the company, (2) the customer made an unprivileged publication to a third party, (3) the publisher of the false statements acted at least negligently in its publication, and (4) the statement had a natural tendency to injure or cause special damage.
In today’s political climate, the phrase “fake news” gets bandied about quite a bit. In addition to its more traditional meaning—news that is false, purposefully misrepresented or outright propaganda—fake news is also sometimes used to characterize any news published that the target or subject of disagrees with or dislikes. As the recent election cycle demonstrated, the proliferation of fake news has become an issue with which candidates and businesses alike must contend. But while the extent to which targeted misinformation can swing an election or otherwise affect a political environment is open to debate, for businesses, an ounce of fake can yield pounds of reputational and financial damage. The advent of social media has both catalyzed and weaponized the danger posed by all forms of fake news, and like so many technology-powered issues, the law lags behind in enacting new protections for businesses and individuals alike. Fortunately, some old causes of action may offer remedies for injuries inflicted by fake news stories.
Last month, a New York trial court dismissed a complaint against Donald J. Trump and others brought by political consultant and commentator Cheryl Jacobus that alleged, in part, a defamation claim (libel) based on tweets by Trump. While the case is notable because it involves Trump and his penchant for tweeting personal attacks, it is also notable because it provides additional guidance on how the courts are handling defamation claims based on statements made via Twitter (and other social media networks). | <urn:uuid:f1d053f6-3f15-4f12-b505-3f9a2512885b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.internetandtechnologylaw.com/category/defamation/ | 2023-09-26T05:58:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.948734 | 649 |
In this article, I am going to be talking all about platform cooperativism and what it means.
A platform cooperative or a platform co-op is basically a cooperatively owned and also democratically governed business that is establishing a commuting platform and also makes use of a website, mobile application or even a protocol to facilitate the sale of services and goods. It is actually quite interesting and quite simple if you think about it.
Platform cooperatives are basically an alternate to the venture capital-funded platforms, and they are also owned and governed by those who completely depend on them the most, who happen to be users, stakeholders and workers as well.
While there are absolutely no commonly accepted typology of platform cooperatives, researchers often anthologise platform cooperatives by the industry. A lot of potential categories happen to include transportation, journalism, labour, creative projects, film, home healthcare, music, photography, marketplaces and data cooperatives. Other kinds of typologies usually differentiate the platform cooperatives by the governance and also the ownership structures.
Basically, platform cooperatives have actually been contrasted with platform capitalism. Companies like junk removal Alpharetta that try to focus on the fairness and also the sharing, instead of the profit motive or actually described as cooperatives. Whereas, traditional and common companies actually focus only on profit like Uber and other capitalist companies. In turn, projects like Wikipedia that actually rely on labour that is unpaid or even volunteers can actually be classified as common based peer production initiatives that are extremely important for the community.
There are a lot of platform cooperatives that make use of business models that are similar to better go on applications or even Web services, but with a huge cooperative structure. For example, there are a lot of driver on the taxi applications that usually allow the customers to submit trip requests and also notify the nearest driver, just like Uber. The internet of ownership website basically includes a directory of cooperative platform ecosystem.
• EVA is a ride-sharing application that offers a very similar service to Uber. But if you’re talking about the cooperative members, you should think about the better wages for the drivers.
• Look at fairbnb .coop, and you will understand what I’m talking about. It is an online marketplace and also hospitality service for individuals who want to lease or even rent short-term lodging. It is basically a community of coders, researchers, designers and activists who are working to create a platform to enable the hosts and guests so that they can connect for travel and also cultural exchange, while also minimising cost to communities. It is basically an alternative to commercial platforms. That is why it is quite important indeed. | <urn:uuid:5d8f0362-cfd1-43d8-bf59-41821c3b7f91> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.internetofownership.net/what-exactly-is-platform-cooperativism/ | 2023-09-26T06:08:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.967731 | 542 |
Nearly half of American employees experience layoff anxiety, despite record low unemployment rates. That’s according to the 2019 Intoo Layoff Anxiety Study, a survey conducted by The Harris Poll on behalf of Intoo.
We surveyed 2,204 U.S. adults, of whom 1,061 were employed, on their thoughts and emotions about their employment status—and found that people are still strongly affected by their experiences during The Great Recession and are fearful of a pending recession.
The infographic below delves into the details of layoff anxiety: what is causing it, who is experiencing it, and how prepared American workers are for a potential layoff.
19 Key Findings of the 2019 Intoo Layoff Anxiety Study
Losing a job is not uncommon.
- 40% of Americans have been laid off or terminated from a job at least once.
Layoff anxiety is high due to fears of a pending recession, the rumor mill, or a recent round of layoffs at work.
- Nearly half of employed Americans (48%) suffer from layoff anxiety.
- Around one-third of those say fear of a pending recession (34%), rumors around the office (32%), and a recent round of layoffs at the workplace (30%) fuels their layoff anxiety.
More young adults suffer from layoff anxiety than their older counterparts.
- 61% of young Americans ages 18-34 suffer from layoff anxiety as compared to 41% of adults ages 35+.
- 52% of employed Americans ages 18-54 feel they are not very or not at all prepared for a layoff compared to 30% of older employed Americans (55+).
The impact of the Great Recession on workers is still evident and manifesting in layoff anxiety.
- Among employed Americans who experienced a layoff/termination/joblessness during the Great Recession, 7 in 10 (68%) say they experienced joblessness, while nearly 2 in 5 (39%) were laid off and 15% were terminated.
- Nearly three-quarters (74%) of those who experienced a layoff/termination/joblessness during the Great Recession say they suffer from layoff anxiety, particularly due to fear of a pending recession (36%).
Current workers, particularly younger workers and workers impacted by the Great Recession, feel they are ill prepared for a potential layoff.
- Nearly half of employed Americans (47%) say they do not feel prepared for the possibility of being laid off.
- More than half of young workers (51% of those aged 18-34) and workers who experienced a layoff/termination/joblessness during the Great Recession (55%) feel unprepared for a layoff.
- Less experienced workers may face more challenges finding or switching jobs during a recession. Younger Americans, millennials aged 18-34 (26%) and those aged 35-44 (20%), were about twice as likely to have experienced difficulty in finding/switching jobs during the Great Recession compared to those ages 45-54 (11%) and 55-64 (10%).
While just over half of employed Americans (53%) feel somewhat or very prepared for a potential layoff, preparedness varies by several different demographic groups.
- Employed renters (37%) are less likely to feel prepared for a layoff than homeowners (58%).
- Employed Americans without children under 18 in the household (57%) are more likely to feel prepared for a layoff than those who are employed with children under 18 in the household (47%).
- Employed adults with a college degree or higher (64%) are more likely to feel prepared than employed adults with some college (48%) or a high school degree or less (43%).
- Unmarried employed Americans (46%) are less likely to feel prepared than married employed Americans (60%).
Women are less likely to feel prepared for a layoff than men.
- 46% of employed women feel somewhat or very prepared for a layoff as compared to 59% of employed men.
- 39% of employed women who suffer from layoff anxiety cite fear of pending recession as the number-one cause of their layoff anxiety, versus 29% of men in the same group.
Losing a job is not uncommon, but men are more susceptible to job loss than women.
- 40% of Americans have been laid off or terminated from a job at least once.
- 23% of those who experienced a layoff/termination/joblessness during the Great Recession have been laid off or terminated three or more times.
- Men are more likely than women to have been laid off or terminated.
- 45% of men have lost their jobs as compared to 36% of women.
- Men are more likely than women to have lost a job multiple times. 12% of men have lost a job three or more times, compared to 4% of women.
Americans without college degrees are more susceptible to job loss than college grads.
- 64% of Americans with college degrees or higher have never been laid off as compared to 48% of Americans with some college and 47% of those with a high school degree or less.
Research method: This survey was conducted online within the United States by The Harris Poll on behalf of Intoo from June 25-27, 2019 among 2,024 adults ages 18 and older, of which 1,061 were employed. Results were weighted for age within gender, region, race/ethnicity, income, and education where necessary to align them with their actual proportions in the population. Propensity score weighting was also used to adjust for respondents’ propensity to be online. This online survey is not based on a probability sample and therefore no estimate of theoretical sampling error can be calculated.

Key Takeaways for Employers
It’s time to get prepared
Since layoff anxiety is so prevalent in the U.S. workforce, it makes sense for companies to manage and address these worries head-on. Company leaders and HR professionals can take steps to both assuage unnecessary fear among employees and prepare for unexpected changes in the business environment.
By taking proactive steps to manage layoff anxiety, employers can enhance employee productivity, reduce turnover, and make nimble business decisions in reaction to inevitable economic shifts.
3 steps to manage layoff anxiety
- Communicate with employees. Much of the fuel behind layoff anxiety comes from the fear of the unknown. Thus, it’s helpful to let employees in on company decisions as much as possible—especially during times of mergers and acquisitions (M&As), management changes, or shifts in business focus. If there are no plans for layoffs in the foreseeable future, communicate that news to employees to forestall rumors. If some organizational shifts may happen, let employees know the scope of the changes as early as business conditions allow.
- Create a layoff plan. Since the need for layoffs can emerge suddenly, companies need to be prepared at all times. Layoffs can be an involved undertaking with many legal, financial, and personal details to manage. To fully plan for this event, download Intoo’s Reduction-In-Force Checklist, which outlines the 16 steps to successfully managing a reduction in force.
- Engage an outplacement service. If your company lays off employees, you’ll want to provide exiting workers with outplacement services to help them land new jobs more quickly. This will allow you to retain a positive relationship with your former employers as well as forestall lawsuits and protect your employer brand. The best time to put an outplacement plan in place is when your company is not going through a reduction in force, so that if and when the time comes, you’ll be able to put your focus on the affected employees.
INTOO’s outplacement solution offers on-demand career coaching via video and chat, detailed resume reviews, interview coaching, and many other cutting-edge tools and benefits—all available on a convenient online platform.

Trang Hoang and her team study the molecular mechanisms that allow multipotent hematopoietic stem cells to be maintained or to differentiate themselves into specialized cells that form the immune system. Their work makes it possible to understand the mechanisms involved in the formation of acute leukemias.
Trang Hoang’s team seeks to define how hematopoietic stem cells integrate signals from their environment to be maintained or to differentiate themselves. It focuses more specifically on the external and internal factors around the cell that disrupt these signals, leading to the development of leukemias.
The Investigators study, among other things, the mechanisms governing the formation of blood cells from a very small number of hematopoietic stem cells. Their objective is to identify new therapeutic targets in order to offer leukemia patients targeted, non-invasive and personalized treatment.
Trang Hoang and her team have already made interesting discoveries in this area. The Investigators have notably observed that the gene called Stem Cell Leukemia (SCL) plays a key role in maintaining hematopoietic stem cells, as well as in the survival of progenitor cells.
The inappropriate expression of SCL in the thymus does however lead to the appearance of acute lymphoid leukemia. Investigators have shown this in transgenic mice. This leukemia is similar to that observed in children. Trang Hoang’s team now seeks to determine which proteins associate with SCL to influence its activity.
To do so, it combines the analysis of cells taken from transgenic mice with functional proteomics and genomics approaches, as well as using targeted molecular approaches. | <urn:uuid:4282f8b6-0f2e-4d99-880d-2e76ccd0d2ea> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.iric.ca/en/research/research-units/hematopoiesis-and-leukemia | 2023-09-26T05:49:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.938545 | 344 |
Emma – who plays Harry's friend Hermione Granger - said: "They put plugs in our ears to protect our eardrums, but you can still hear because you're so close to the bangs. There's this one scene where they detonated all of these bombs, like, right next to us. I was absolutely, genuinely terrified."
Rupert Grint – who plays another of Harry's sidekicks, Ron Weasley – agreed, comparing the set to a battle epic.
He told Empire magazine: "It turned into a bit of a war film. We all formed this army, the castle is on fire with rubble and bodies littered everywhere.

Israel has reacted angrily to Wednesday's European Union decision to label Israeli products manufactured beyond the 1967 Green Line, suspending the political dialogue with the EU and summoning the EU ambassador to Israel, as president Reuven Rivlin cancelled a trip next month to EU headquarters in Brussels.
Right-wing politicians were quick to accuse European politicians of anti-Semitism and agriculture minister Uri Ariel from the far-right Jewish Home announced that he was trading in his Citroen car for a Japanese Mazda.
EU ambassador to Israel Lars Faaborg-Andersen was summoned to the foreign ministry in Jerusalem for a reprimand, during which he was informed that political dialogue was being suspended in a number of areas of particular important to the Europeans, such as development projects to help Palestinians in the West Bank.
A foreign ministry representative told the ambassador that the “double-standard being applied by the EU”, which ignores countless other conflicts in the world, was unconscionable, and the timing, when Israel was facing a wave of Palestinian attacks, was “puzzling and outrageous”.
Not surprisingly, the fiercest condemnations came from right-wing politicians. Immigration minister Zeev Elkin described the decision as "anti-Semitic and scandalous". Science minister Ofir Akunis said the decision constituted "a moral stain on Europe's brow".
Yisrael Beiteinu leader
made a clear historical comparison.
“Every time Europe marks Jews, which is a sign of anti-Semitism, madness and hypocrisy take over and leads to a disaster for the entire free world.”
Opposition head Yitzhak Herzog, the leader of the centre-left Zionist Union, called the EU decision dangerous, warning that it would undermine efforts to revive the peace process.
“This is a decision that will harm both Israelis and Palestinians, and the thousands of families who depend on this industry for their livelihood.”
The EU decision stipulates that products such as fruit, vegetables, wine and honey produced in West Bank settlements, Israeli neighbourhoods of east Jerusalem or the Golan Heights must be clearly marked as settlement products and not just “Made in Israel”.
Israel believes that the economic damage will be miniscule – probably no more than €930,000 annually – and that it will primarily hurt Palestinian workers who may lose their jobs if exports decrease. About 15,000 Palestinians are employed in Israeli settlement factories, comprising approximately 60 per cent of the workforce.
However, Israel fears that the labelling may pave the way for a wider boycott of all Israeli products, as demanded by the BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement.
The left-wing Meretz and the Arab Joint List parties welcomed the EU decision. “This is a correct decision that will enable the entire Israeli economy to get the painful hump of the settlements off its back,” said Meretz Knesset member Issawi Frej. | <urn:uuid:01b07c01-33dd-4134-922a-16c1f9e4100b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.irishtimes.com/news/world/middle-east/israeli-politicians-hit-out-at-eu-for-settlement-labelling-move-1.2427515 | 2023-09-26T07:24:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.955872 | 618 |

Instagram introduced the video call feature to its platform in 2018, and since then, Instagrammers have enjoyed the fantastic interactions this feature brings using a mobile phone. But does it work the same way on a PC? Sadly it doesn’t, but thankfully there’s a way around it. So If you’re looking for how to video call on Instagram PC, this article is for you.
So how do you video call on Instagram PC? There are two ways to do this: Android emulators and developer apps. For now, some features on the Instagram mobile app are unavailable on PCs, so you’ll need to use an app that can replicate Instagram on your PC. This way, you’ll be able to make a video call on Instagram PC.
This article will show you how to video call on Instagram PC. This also works when you want to access other features available to Instagram mobile apps only. Let’s get started.
Bluestacks is an Android emulator that allows you to download and run mobile applications successfully on your PC. It doesn’t work as a third-party app and is from a trusted site, so it is safe to use.
With Bluestacks, you can download the Instagram app to your PC and make it run as it would on your mobile phone. This way, you can make video calls with no glitches. Follow these steps to make a video call using Bluestacks:
- Visit the “Bluestacks” official website to download and install the emulator on your PC.
- Now launch Bluestacks and search for the Instagram app using the search engine provided on the platform.
- The next step, download and install the Instagram app. Ensure this is done correctly, so you don’t encounter problems later on.
- Start the Instagram app from Bluestacks homepage. Now you’ll find an opened Instagram window.
- On that window, log in your details to access your Instagram account.
- Navigate the app on your mobile phone and click on the video icon to start a video call. That’s it!
Bluestacks works amazingly well for the Instagram app but doesn’t support Linux systems. However, you can enjoy its features on Mac and Windows operating systems.
NoxPlayer is another Android emulator, just like Bluestacks. It also allows you to download and run Android apps on PCs.
Like the previous emulator, it’s not compatible with Linux but works well on Mac and Windows PCs. Here’s how to make a video call using NoxPlayer:
- Visit the NoxPlayer official website to download and install it on your PC.
- Start the emulator and search for the Instagram app using the search bar.
- Download and install the app. Of course, you need to do this correctly to avoid glitches.
- Launch the Instagram app, and log in with your details to access your account.
- Navigate the app, and tap the icon that says “Direct message.” This is the same as you would on your mobile device.
- Next, Tap on the video icon to start a video. Done!
You can use other Android app emulators, like LD Player, Lamba test, etc. However, Bluestacks and NoxPlayer are among the best Android emulators you can use to Install the Android applications on your PC.
ARC Welder is a developer tool developers use to test apps they created. However, you can also use it to launch the Instagram app on your PC because it’s built with features that allow you to do that.
Like the previous options, ARC Welder is unavailable for Linux PCs because you can’t run a chrome application on them. Here’s how to make video calls using an ARC Welder:
- Open the Chrome web store to download the ARC Welder app to your PC. It’s not available on Google play, so you’ll have to access it through the chrome web store.
- Now, go to Google and search for the Instagram app. Copy the URL from the search box to your clipboard.
- Paste the URL into an APK downloader and convert the app into an APK file or package.
- Copy the link to the APK file and add it to a folder on your PC.
- Launch the ARC Welder app and click “Add your APK” to add the Instagram APK file.
- Adjust the orientation to “Portrait” and set the form factor to “Phone.”
- Finally, click “Launch App.”
- Log into your Instagram account and navigate the app as you would on your phone.
- Now, tap on the video icon to make a video call. That’s it!
There you have it. By following these steps, you’ll be able to make a video call on Instagram successfully. So, in conclusion, you can make video calls with friends on Instagram PC using Android emulators and developer apps. Have fun! | <urn:uuid:4ae5647b-af50-40ef-ad22-a34829a8da46> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.itgeared.com/how-to-video-call-on-instagram-pc/ | 2023-09-26T06:32:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.896283 | 1,061 |

ITT reports solid 2015 third-quarter results
Company raises full-year GAAP EPS guidance; maintains adjusted EPS, and revenue guidance
Sees benefits from continued effective management of net asbestos liability
- Revenue down 8% to $602 million
- Segment operating margin at 14.1%
- EPS increased to $1.07
- Organic revenue down 2%
- Segment operating margin at 15%
- EPS of $0.63
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., Oct. 30, 2015 – ITT Corporation (NYSE: ITT) today reported 2015 third-quarter financial results, including solid adjusted operating margins, that reflected strong net operating productivity and effective cost containment in a challenging macroeconomic environment.
On a GAAP basis, the company delivered revenue of $602 million in the third quarter, reflecting an 8 percent decline, primarily due to unfavorable foreign exchange. GAAP segment operating margins declined 30 basis points to 14.1 percent primarily due to unfavorable foreign exchange and negative pricing impacts, which were partially offset by strong operating productivity and benefits from proactive restructuring. Third-quarter GAAP EPS increased to $1.07, compared with $0.87 in the prior year, primarily due to the successful resolution of a federal tax audit.
On an adjusted basis, organic revenue (defined as total revenue excluding foreign exchange, acquisition and divestiture impacts) decreased 2 percent, reflecting declines in the global general industrial and the upstream and midstream oil and gas markets, as well as weakness in the global rail market, which more than offset share gains and aftermarket growth in automotive brake pads.
Adjusted segment operating income declined 9 percent, as strong net operating productivity, including restructuring benefits from proactive actions, was more than offset by unfavorable foreign exchange of $10 million, negative pricing impacts, and operational disruption costs due to the relocation of certain connectors operations within North America. Adjusted segment operating income, excluding the negative impact from foreign exchange, grew 1 percent in the quarter.
Adjusted EPS, which excludes special items, decreased 5 percent to $0.63, as solid segment operational performance, lower corporate costs, including efficiencies and lower environmental costs, and a lower share count were more than offset by unfavorable foreign exchange. Adjusted EPS, excluding the negative impact from foreign exchange, grew 8 percent in the quarter.
“Despite the persistent headwinds from foreign exchange and global oil and gas and industrial markets, we continued our track record of execution and delivered solid operating margins in the quarter,” said Denise Ramos, Chief Executive Officer and President. “We are consistently seeing the benefits from driving productivity, proactively restructuring our operations and actively controlling our costs.
“In addition, we are deploying our capital to position us for long-term success, including acquiring close-to-core businesses such as Hartzell Aerospace in the second quarter and Wolverine Advanced Materials early in the fourth quarter. And, we are also continuing to effectively manage our net asbestos liability, resulting in improved cash flow projections and a significant 15 percent reduction in the net liability in 2015.
“As we continue to manage those areas over which we have control, we remain mindful of the ongoing volatility in the global macroeconomic environment and the impact these conditions will continue to have on our businesses. As we look ahead to the remainder of the year and into 2016, we will continue our strong focus on optimizing and aligning our businesses and their respective cost structures in order to drive enhanced long-term value for shareowners.”
2015 Third-Quarter Business Segment Results
All quarterly results are compared with the respective prior-year periods
Industrial Process designs and manufactures industrial pumps and valves for the oil and gas, chemical, mining and industrial markets.
- Third-quarter GAAP revenue decreased 8 percent to $271 million. Third-quarter GAAP operating income increased 10 percent to $34 million.
- Organic revenue decreased 1 percent, reflecting strength in industrial project pumps and short-cycle baseline pumps and valves, due to solid backlog entering the year, offset by declines in aftermarket sales due to the impact of delayed customer maintenance.
- Adjusted operating income increased 10 percent to $36 million as strong net operating productivity, including restructuring benefits and cost containment actions, was partially offset by negative pricing impacts and negative mix shift.
- The business also expanded adjusted segment operating margins by 220 basis points, reflecting benefits from ongoing actions to optimize Industrial Process to better leverage previous investments, including reorganizing into three more focused verticals, which drives improved execution while lowering the structural cost base.
Motion Technologies designs and manufactures braking technologies and shock absorbers for the automotive and rail markets.
- Third-quarter GAAP revenue decreased 9 percent to $180 million. Third-quarter GAAP operating income decreased 10 percent to $33 million.
- Organic revenue increased 4 percent due to strength in global automotive brake pads, reflecting global volume growth with Original Equipment Manufacturers, partially offset by negative pricing impacts, and aftermarket growth due to an anticipated shift in an independent aftermarket customer’s order patterns. Organic revenue growth was partially offset by softness in the global rail market.
- Third-quarter adjusted operating income decreased 4 percent to $35 million, reflecting higher volume and net operating productivity, which was more than offset by $6 million of unfavorable foreign exchange and negative pricing impacts. Adjusted operating income, before the negative impact from foreign exchange, grew 13 percent in the quarter.
Interconnect Solutions designs and manufactures connectors and interconnects for the oil and gas, industrial and transportation, and aerospace and defense markets.
- Third-quarter GAAP revenue decreased 16 percent to $83 million. Third-quarter GAAP operating results decreased 68 percent to $4 million.
- Organic revenue declined 11 percent due to weakness in the general industrial and upstream oil and gas connector markets, as well as delayed shipments caused by disruption impacts due to the relocation of certain operations within North America.
- Adjusted operating income declined 68 percent to $5 million, as savings from restructuring initiatives were more than offset by impacts from operational disruptions due to the relocation of certain operations within North America and volume declines in high-margin oil and gas connectors.
Control Technologies designs and manufactures products including fuel management, actuation, and noise and energy absorption components for the aerospace and industrial markets, as well as aerospace environmental control system components.
- Third-quarter GAAP revenue decreased 1 percent to $70 million, which included revenue from the acquired Hartzell Aerospace business of $9 million. Third-quarter GAAP operating income decreased 11 percent to $14 million.
- Organic revenue decreased 11 percent, due to industrial declines driven by softness in China and a difficult prior-year comparison in North America, as well as declines in the aerospace aftermarket.
- Adjusted operating income decreased 6 percent to $15 million, as net operating productivity, lower compensation costs and the impact of the Hartzell Aerospace acquisition were more than offset by lower volume, unfavorable mix shift due to lower aerospace aftermarket, and incremental strategic investments.
Annual Asbestos Remeasurement
In the third quarter, ITT recognized a $45 million pre-tax benefit as a result of its annual remeasurement of its asbestos liability and related insurance asset. This benefit reflects lower acceptance rates and lower recent average settlement values. The benefit was recognized as a special item and was excluded from adjusted results.
The company also projects a favorable $5 million decrease in the net annual average (years 6-10) after-tax cash outflow projections versus prior projections primarily due to benefits from a single firm defense strategy implemented in the second quarter of 2015. This strategy has contributed to a 15 percent year-to-date reduction in the company’s net liability in 2015.
The company is maintaining its previously announced full-year GAAP revenue guidance and raising its GAAP EPS guidance. GAAP EPS is now expected to be in the range of $3.07 to $3.33. GAAP revenue is expected to be down 9 percent to down 7 percent year-over-year.
The previously announced adjusted full-year EPS and organic revenue guidance is being maintained. On an adjusted basis, the company continues to expect EPS to be in the range of $2.45 to $2.55 and organic revenue is expected to range from down 3 percent to down 1 percent.
Investor Call Today
ITT's senior management will host a conference call for investors today at 9 a.m. EDT to review performance and answer questions. The briefing can be monitored live via webcast at the following address on the company's Web site: www.itt.com/investors and will be available on the website from two hours after the webcast until Friday, Nov. 13, 2015, at midnight.

The sale ends federal government control of the telecommunications company with almost 1 billion shares changing hands throughout the day.
It marked one of the biggest days of trading recorded for a single company on the Australian Stock Exchange.
The sale ends almost a decade of repeated attempts by the government to sell its 51.8 per cent stake in the telco.
The sale got the go ahead in September 2005 when the government passed the Telstra (Transition to Full Private Ownership) Bill.
But the road to full privatization was a rocky one with Telstra shares plummeting more than 50 percent since T2 in 1999.
However, analysts said yesterday completion of the sale is timely with slowing revenue growth likely for the industry through to 2011.
While broadband revenue in Australia has topped A$2 billion in 2006, research firm Market Clarity said penetration has neared its limits.
Australia’s population of 3.52 million broadband services in June 2006 will grow to more than 6.8 million by June 2011.
But intense competition between providers is likely to squeeze revenue growth, so that while user numbers will nearly double in that period, revenue will only rise to A$3.24 billion by June 2011.
Market Clarity CEO Shara Evans said broadband generates 3.5 times more revenue than dial-up services, growing by A$700 million from 2005 to 2006.
But this growth will drop considerably in coming years with Evans warning of churn wars between Internet Service Providers (ISPs).
“Business providers, who can differentiate themselves with network performance and service quality, may be better placed to protect their margins, but the business broadband market is dwarfed by the consumer market,” Evans said. | <urn:uuid:5450da8e-0c96-4519-a6e1-9e9ce54b9c03> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.itworldcanada.com/article/stake-sale-ends-australia-government-control-of-telco/1190 | 2023-09-26T06:03:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.960429 | 348 |

How does being a patriotic American relate to the Bible and church? Is this even biblical? It’s difficult to make the entire argument in this small space, but I believe we can be patriotic as a church. This doesn’t mean that God is worshiped by singing a patriotic song; He isn’t. We won’t sing patriotic songs as an act of worship. Mormons have a view very close to the idea that the U.S. Constitution is inspired by God. That’s also not true. Christian patriotism could be something further than Paul’s claiming and using Roman citizenship. It was helpful to him based upon the providence of God. The providence of God is a practical ramification of the sovereignty of God. Because of the power, wisdom, and love of God, we can know that He allows and causes everything, so that He is working all things together for good to those who love God. We look for those ways. The United States is an example of the providence of God, especially the idea of America, and any way that the scriptural aspects of this idea are upheld. By being patriotic, we are being thankful to God for what He has done. We want to support this. We want to hang on to this. We don’t want to lose this. America is a part of the plan of God. God has used the country insofar that America has held to scriptural concepts and a belief in the true God. Righteousness has exalted the nation. Sin is increasingly though being a reproach to the nation, and we would do well as salt to retard that corruption in a patriotic manner. | <urn:uuid:9ffea2e4-e240-44b2-8116-652b6d7fc796> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.jacksoncountybaptistchurch.com/post/christian-patriotism | 2023-09-26T05:02:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.973896 | 346 |

Metal band and innovative plastic band retained seals for no‑twist rod mills from any OEM at any size.
We have supplied metal band retained seals for no-twist rod mills for over 25 years, working with OEMs to ensure the required levels of operational performance, accuracy and ease of fitting were achieved. We are able to supply seals for no-twist rod mills manufactured by all major OEMs and can provide seal materials suited to individual mill set up, water quality, running speed and operating temperatures that will optimise seal performance to match your mill maintenance schedules.
Through our detailed understanding of the work involved in the fitting of NTRM seals, we have developed a solution that reduces the effort and time required for seal replacement during maintenance. In some instances our innovative flexible retaining band allows gearbox seals to be rapidly replaced in-situ, but even when gearboxes are removed to the workshop for overhaul, the fact that these seals can be replaced and correctly aligned more easily and quickly than traditional metal band retained versions without the need for specialist tools, provides maintenance and operational benefits.
The key benefit behind our innovation is the use of a flexible alternative to the traditional metal retaining band. The band material has been developed to give optimum resistance to creep under typical rod mill operating conditions, including thermal cycling and media exposure, and has been subjected to intensive testing during the selection process to verify its performance under the harshest working conditions.

Judge Haglund obtained wide experience in a number of fields, including real estate and adverse possession disputes, bankruptcy-related matters, intellectual property, and trade secrets matters, insurance and bad faith litigation, contract disputes, administrative disputes and reviews, and multiple other areas. As an example, Judge Haglund served for several years as an appellate counsel and, subsequently, as lead trial counsel for the trial team in the Taylor Ranch litigation in Costilla County, after the team had successfully secured a favorable outcome in that long-standing litigation before the Colorado Supreme Court.
After obtaining his undergraduate degree from Dartmouth College and his law degree from Harvard Law School, Judge Haglund served one year as a judicial law clerk in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado, followed by four years of service in the U.S. Army JAG Corps (1969-1970 in Vietnam and 1970-1973 in Germany). Thereafter, he served an additional year as a judicial law clerk in the U.S. Circuit Court for the Tenth Circuit, after which he entered private law practice in Denver.

A Build-to-Rent Destination
For this residential project we put people at the centre of our thinking to create a place that enhances the experience for customers at a stunning build-to-rent scheme Frederick House in Bath.
Consisting of 97 high specification apartments, the newly acquired asset needed an amenity space to foster a sense of community and provide a key marketing offer. The space identified was detached from the residential accommodation in a discrete corner of a basement carpark. It was necessary to create a highly visible and vibrant destination demanding the attention of its residents.
With the key demographic for Frederick House being young professionals, we designed a high quality multifunctional environment that provides people with a fitness-suite and an all-important communal lounge area. Creating such spaces are fundamental to any build-to-rent scheme where the value of being able to grab a free coffee and get to know your neighbours should not be underestimated, helping encourage a community atmosphere and providing a focal point for social events.
“We were aware the basement space could work far harder in the context of a build-to-rent development. Fortunately, JS+P were able to unlock the true potential of the space for the benefit of our customers, all of whom enjoy the amenity it affords.”
Sector | Residential, Build-to-Rent
Completion | 2017
Client | M&G Real Estate, LIV Group
The fitness-suite was coupled along-side the lounge where the often harsh masculine nature of ‘the gym’ was softened to provide a calm place to work-out and welcome people of all abilities.
This addition to Frederick House has proved to be a great investment for our clients M&G Real Estate and LIV Group and the space provides a thriving focal point for all of the residents to enjoy. | <urn:uuid:34de7a8d-d8a9-41e3-9059-b4ad262b79f8> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.jaspersanders.com/project/frederick-house/ | 2023-09-26T06:31:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.935697 | 376 |

PURPOSE: To investigate the anti-ulcerogenic properties of the chloroform extract of Flemingia strobilifera root in rats. METHODS: Anti-ulcer effect was evaluated by water immersion induced ulcer in rats. Other anti-ulcer related activities of the extract such as the effects on free radicals and antimicrobial activity were also evaluated. RESULTS: Chloroform extract of Flemingia strobilifera root was found to be safe up to 300 mg/kg body weight when administrated orally in female wistar rats. Water immer-sion stress produced characteristic lesions in the glandular portion of the rat stomach. Pretreatment with Chloroform extract of Flemingia strobilifera root reduced the char-acteristic lesions in a dose dependent manner (P<0.001) when compared with the control. Pretreatment with Chloroform extract of Flemingia strobilifera root at a dose of 15 and 30 mg/kg body wt. increased the gastric mucosal glutathione level, total protein content significantly (P<0.001) as compared to control group. Whereas there is significant (P<0.05, P<0.001) reduction in gastric mucosal Malonaldehyde levels when compared to control. Free radical scavenging activity of Chloroform extract of Flemingia strobilifera root was observed in the concentration range tested, the IC50 value was calculated. Antimicrobial activity of the Chloroform extract of Flemingia strobilifera root exhibited activity against both gram positive and negative bacteria at concentration of 10 mg/ml. CONCLUSION: The root extract of Flemingia strobilifera possess antiulcerogenic properties could justify folklore uses of the plant in peptic ulcer diseases. | <urn:uuid:11c2bcd3-958a-436a-bd6e-620a282ff516> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.jbclinpharm.org/abstract/evaluation-of-antiulcerogenic-properties-from-the-root-of-flemingia-strobilifera-1329.html | 2023-09-26T05:32:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.908382 | 369 |

A hard and physical encounter against a well-drilled premiership outfit boasting numerous international caps was an excellent final pre-season test for the Reds.
Quins got off to the perfect start with a converted score inside the opening minute, added another midway through the half and a third score with the final play to go in at the break leading 21-0. In between though, Jersey showed promise and indeed held much of the territorial advantage.
The second half also saw the hosts score in the opening and closing exchanges, and in between the Reds worked hard and crossed the white wash on three occasions, having again shown discipline to control patches of play.

Questions For The Jets Defense
With training camp only a few days away, Tyson Rauch looks at the Jets defense on The Jets Setter.com. Definitely check out the full article but here are Tyson’s top 5 questions for the Jets defense:
1) Can the Jets replace Revis? On the defensive side of the ball one of the biggest stories of the offseason was the Jets trading of Darrelle Revis to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The departure of Revis is significant as he was the team’s best player, but at the same time Darrelle missed 14 games in 2012 which forced the defense to adjust to playing without him. Antonio Cromartie will take over Revis’ “island” while a group of players including rookie Dee Milliner, Kyle Wilson, and Aaron Berry will compete for the second starting position. Surprisingly the Jets have a remarkable amount of depth at the cornerback position which has defensive coordinator Dennis Thurman stating that this is the best overall group he has had while with Gang Green. Keep an eye on Darrin Walls, Ellis Lankster, and Isaiah Trufant as they compete for reps in the nickel and dime formations.
2) Can Landry lead the safeties? This past offseason the Jets lost both starting safeties to free agency (Yeremiah Bell-Cardinals, LaRon Landry- Colts) which left a huge hole in the secondary. Gang Green signed veteran Dawan Landry and will look to several young players including Josh Bush, Antonio Allen, and Jaiquawn Jarrett to fight for playing time. Landry is familiar with Rex Ryan’s defense from his days in Baltimore so the bigger question surrounds the ability of the younger players. Rex Ryan is hoping that the athleticism and speed of guys like Bush and Allen will be an upgrade at the safety position.
3) How will the Jets revamped linebacker group perform? It was no secret that the Jets needed to make changes at the linebacker position as the unit struggled to consistently makes plays sideline to sideline. Demario Davis will replace Bart Scott while Antwan Barnes should provide a new explosive pass rushing dimension. Veterans Calvin Pace and David Harris remain in place with a group of young players including Ricky Sapp, Nick Bellore, Josh Mauga, and Garrett McIntyre competing for reps.
4) Will the Jets miss Po’uha and Devito? This past offseason the Jets decided to go in a new direction with the defensive tackle position as the team released Sione Po’uha and watched Mike Devito depart via free agency. Gang Green intends to replace the veterans with first round pick Sheldon Richardson along with Kenrick Ellis, Damon Harrison, and Antonio Garay. The belief amongst the Jets coaching staff is that this unit will be more explosive and athletic which should substantially improve the Jets pass rush and run defense. Arguments are already being made that this defensive tackle group along with Muhammad Wilkerson and Quinton Coples could make up one of Rex Ryan’s best defensive lines while with the Jets.
5) Will Quinton Coples take the next step in his second year? With the emergence of Muhammad Wilkerson the spotlight is now on second year player Quinton Coples to become a formidable pass rusher. Coples led the Jets with 5.5 sacks in 2012 and showed flashes of being a dominant player. Rex Ryan intends to move Quinton around on defense including to outside linebacker which could create some match-up problems for the opposing offense. If Coples can take his game to the next level this defense could be downright scarey.
Ron Pickett also took an in depth look at the New York Jets defense. These originally ran a little over a month ago but it is worth checking out these positional break downs: | <urn:uuid:4f29126f-31f5-4211-a4c6-4ef12ba2e271> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.jetnation.com/2013/07/22/questions-for-the-jets-defense/ | 2023-09-26T05:45:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.951926 | 766 |

Short rows work partial rows. Instead of working an entire row, a portion of the stitches in a row are worked. Multiple rows are worked to create shaping.
A short-row row is a pair of rows, as both the right side and wrong side are worked. I put both the right side and wrong side instruction into a single instructions, separated by s-w-s. Subsequent short rows will work to another point in the row, creating an angle or other shaping.
After all the short rows have been worked, typically the wraps created around the unworked stitches are picked up (PU wrap) from the right side of the fabric on the next row worked across all stitches. This makes nearly invisible shaping.
I use s-w-s to abbreviate the slip-wrap-slip technique I use (unless otherwise specified). See that abbreviation for how to execute it.
Slip next stitch on left needle to right needle purlwise, bring yarn between needle tips to front or back (opposite its starting position), slip stitch back to left needle. Turn work and bring yarn to position to work the next stitch. This wraps the stitch, which is not worked.
Slip first stitch to right needle, place 1 stitch on cable needle and hold in back, slip first stitch back to the left needle, SSK, return stitch from cable needle to the left needle then s-w-s, turn.
German Short Row Shaping Method
SR is the abbreviation for short rows. SR when used as a technique it represents a short row method sometimes called German short rows.
Work stitches in pattern as indicated by instructions, turn work. If needed, bring the yarn to the front of work between needles. Slip last worked stitch to the right needle. Pull up on yarn so stitch rolls over the top of the needle, bringing yarn into position to work the next stitch in pattern.
Continue back, again working in pattern. Work short rows as indicated. When approaching a stitch that has already been worked as a SR it will appear as two stitches. Work an SR-tog.
The SR-tog is worked when the stitch pulled up in the SR is encountered. The SR stitch should be worked as either k2tog or p2tog to stay in pattern. The SR-tog works the two legs of the SR stitch and closes the gap that would otherwise be created by the short row. | <urn:uuid:4058f56c-b56f-4caa-8bf6-359dbc786a58> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.jillwolcottknits.com/techniques/short-row-shaping-methods/ | 2023-09-26T05:36:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.946539 | 536 |

Dutch chip firm ASM to invest USD 100 mln to build new facility in S. Korea
Dutch semiconductor equipment maker ASM will invest USD 100 million to build a new production and research and development center in S. Korea by 2025, a top executive said on May 23. The decision underscored ASM's commitment to expanding business in S. Korea, the second largest semiconductor market with 19 percent of global industry sales as of 2021. The country is home to Samsung Electronics Co. and SK hynix Inc. The new Hwaseong facility will be used for production of equipment for atomic layer deposition, a key process in chip manufacturing, and research and development, like the current facility in the city. With the new one, ASM's R&D space in S. Korea will grow by twofold and production space by threefold.
Canada pledges USD 220 million aid for POSCO Future M’s JV battery plant
S. Korea’s POSCO Future M Co. said on May 30 that the Canadian government will provide significant funding to support the construction of its Ultium CAM electric vehicle battery plant, a joint venture with General Motors Co. in Becancour, Quebec. POSCO Future M and GM formed the joint venture in July 2022 and are investing about USD 633 million to build a 30,000 tons per year cathode production plant in the region located about halfway between Montreal and Quebec City. The plant will be the largest battery cathode production facility ever built in Canada. According to POSCO Future M, both the federal government of Canada and the government of Quebec have pledged financial support for the project during a joint announcement at the construction site of the Ultium CAM battery plant. Local media outlets, including CTV News, reported that the Quebec government will contribute USD 112 million, while the federal government will provide USD 108 million in financial support for the project.
Government & Policy
S. Korea to extend 14 tln won of support to prop up auto parts industry
The S. Korean government and major carmakers will extend combined support worth more than KRW 14.3 trillion won (USD 10.9 billion) to the auto parts industry for technology development and securing necessary liquidity in the latest move to boost exports and ensure stable supply chains in the broader industry, the industry ministry said on May 23. During a roundtable meeting with private auto and auto parts companies, the government announced a set of supportive measures for the sector, as the country has enjoyed solid growth in exports of vehicles and auto parts and the global demand for S. Korean products is forecast to rise further, according to the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy. Under the plan, the ministry and carmakers will provide auto parts companies with over KRW 14.3 trillion of funds to help support their investment and secure necessary liquidity through policy financing and joint development projects. The supportive measures are expected to help grow the country's production of electric vehicles about fivefold by 2023 and lead to innovation in other next-generation industries, such as system semiconductors, software, displays and bio, according to the industry.

I love yellow butterflies
Each fall, these whimsical fairies hover near the railroad tracks next to my house and hold their yearly convention among the red flowers that grow there. My little yellow friends. They welcome me and put on a show that could top anything the New York City Ballet has to offer. With synchronized chaos of movement, they twirl upward in tandem pirouettes and then scatter downward to the flowers.
I didn't always love them. I was probably fifty before I even noticed them. Sad, isn't it? I feel like Robert Frost who mourned that "since to look at things in bloom, fifty springs leave little room..." I don't have fifty more springs (or falls) left. I've wasted too much time.
And how many other delightful things have I been too blind to see?
I'm making up for lost time. Now, not one yellow butterfly escapes my notice. Every time one crosses my path, I consider him to be my own special "wink" from Jesus. It lifts my spirit, and I smile.
"God, take the blinders off my eyes. Help me to see, really see the things (or people) You would have me see. Help me pay attention. And be grateful." | <urn:uuid:ca274dfb-bb00-4550-9892-3b1d232da6ba> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.joandeneve.com/single-post/2014/11/04/i-love-yellow-butterflies | 2023-09-26T06:05:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.975251 | 258 |
