I had the esteemed privilege to work with a cool group of bloggers last week. We talked a lot about blogging to build community, where inspirations come from and a host of other tidbits of conversation that was truly refreshing. What I absolutely loved was the overall enthusiasm and visionary approach this group had. One of the questions that came to me was where I come up with my content inspirations both on The Training Factor blog and my personal one. I passed on a few names of bloggers whom I deeply appreciate but at the same time, I realized that everyone is so unique and will receive their inspirations in different ways. So my message turned a bit towards them searching for what can be inspiring to them. Employing the five senses is absolutely critical to successful writing. I find myself when I am taking a walk, going shopping, having a conversation with folks on and offline that I am already creating a blog post in my head. Everything around me in some way touches me and spurns on those creative juices. Take this very post for example. It was completely inspired but a group of people that completely rock. They inspired me with their vision which in turn made me sit down and write about it. I wrote a post not long ago on how even lint and marshmallows can be something that people are passionate about. When your heart is into something the content will come. The biggest thing I have learned since I started writing was the need to step outside of myself. Literally and figuratively I try and walk in other’s shoes in order to understand their perspective. I spend on average of 10-15 hours a week on research in order to make sure I am in tune with whatever subject I am working on. You will hear of bloggers who use editorials. I am all for that. I love my little notepad that I use to jot down ideas and thoughts. A couple of blogging tools out there that I have been meaning to try out are Evernote and Simplenote. They are supposed to help organize your blogging efforts so they are on my to try list very soon. So I guess to be part of the Socius Nerdius club of bloggers you just have to get out of your chair. Schedule yourself some field trips and soak up the world around you. By doing this you will write in a manner that will inspire your readers and make them long for more. I would love to hear from you on what you get your content inspirations from. What helps you continue to be creative and keeps your blog posts fresh and delicious? Written by Jonathan Saar

Cuba, Cuba! The new destination for Americans after Obama lifted major travel restrictions that have been in place since the United States, under John F. Kennedy placed an embargo on the island of Cuba. I took advantage of very cheap flight prices to spend this past Christmas and New Years basking in the glory of Cuba, and though I typically do a vlog of my whole trip before I give out any tips, since traveling to Cuba is such a hot button topic, I’m getting the tips out first. I loved loved loved Cuba! However, I totally understand Cuban’s frustration with living under such a restrictive government, but I hope they are proud of how much they’ve sustained with a world power like the USA’s foot on their neck. The island is beautiful, lush, green and relatively clean. I was marveling at the paved roads and highways. People so often overlook how much infrastructure matters but Cuba has it down, in a way that many other islands and countries who supposedly have the giving hand of the US as an ally, do not. Beautiful roads with traffic lights that work! Let me tell y’all after going to Ghana…I appreciate the fuck out of a working traffic light and after visiting Togo, I love a paved highway with shoulders and service roads. Let me tell you….what I won’t take for granted. And Cuba has it. This is a series of tips, and we’re going to start off with all the questions one might have about booking a flight from the United States and where to get your visa for Cuba. Skyscanner and Google Flights are your best friends. Skyscanner lets you search for the cheapest date in the coming year. They have numerous ways you can find the best and cheapest way to get to Cuba. Whether you want to know the city with the cheapest flights, the cheapest month, weekend or airline, Skyscanner will let you know. Google Flights populates the cheapest date over three months so it’s easy to tweak dates for better flight deals, especially if you are have specifics you need to stick to (like dates or city). Just note, Southwest Airlines does not service their prices to any travel booking site, so you have to check them independently. Book your ticket directly through the airline of your choice. My flight was $300 roundtrip on Delta from Dallas to Havana with a layover in Atlanta. Layovers for international flights should always be at least 90 minutes, it’s just best practice. When you go to the airline website to book your ticket, you will be asked to complete an OFAC form. That is an Office of Foreign Assets Control, part of the United States Treasury department, form. Do not fret, this is just where you list your reason for travel under one of the 13 allowed reasons. You do not need to get a license from OFAC unless you are attempting to do business in Cuba. Most people will choose the Education Activity: People to People, because well…you’re going to Cuba to explore the culture and you do that through going on tours and interacting with local Cubans. I checked Journalist, because here I am writing a blog about my travels. Keep it simple. At no point in my travels was I asked again about what OFAC option I selected. Not in Havana or coming back through Customs. But as long as you’re not attempting to do business you will be fine by selecting people to people and going on a tour to meet the requirement. The visa. American privilege is real and so many Americans get super anxious when traveling to a place where their blue passport does not get them immediate access. I already went through the process of getting visa for Ghana (a breeze), Togo (damn that expensive af Yellow Fever vaccine) and failed miserably at attempting to get a Nigerian visa (notoriously a nightmare). All that to say, the Cuban visa process is a cakewalk. Now if you really want to, you can be difficult and attempt to get your visa through the Cuban consulate in Washington DC. Or rather be smart and save time by booking it through your airline, where you pick the visa up at the gate for your flight. Yes, my brethen, it is really as simple as calling your airline and paying for the visa over the phone. At the time of my flight in December 2016, Delta was charging $50 for Cuban visas. If you’re airline does not offer the visa directly through them, than you can use Cuban Travel Services, they charge $75. Medical insurance is also required. Unless you do it the hard way and go to the Cuban consulate, both the visa the airlines and Cuban Travel Services offer include the specific medical insurance coverage that is required for travel to Cuba. If you are flying out of the United States you are required to get a visa before you board your flight. Even if you purchase it in advance through your airline, you are still picking it up at the gate of your flight, because it’s just a square piece of paper. Capitalism, y’all. Packing. Because booking the flight is the easy part. Now you have to decide on how you want to travel and what’s the best way to ensure that your luggage makes it there and back in tact. Havana has a small airport and it’s advised you just pack a carry on because picking up your bag can take a minute or a couple hours. This is just advice, not a requirement. It depends on what you want to bring back home and if you mind that picking up your bags might take an hour or two. Now, I checked a bag cause I had every intention to buy all the rums and artwork so I needed a suitcase to carry it back in. I had absolutely no problem upon arrival and was able to get my bag quickly but that’s far from a guarantee. Now on my return flight home, my bags were as put on the wrong flight coming back to the States, though I did get them in once piece a few day laters, after Delta then shipped them to El Paso instead of Dallas after locating them in Havana. Funners. Also customs was down in all of the United States when I came back, adding to the confusion. That had nothing to do with Cuba though. Actual clothing. What do you pack to wear in Cuba? It’s like any other Caribbean island. Pack a light jacket for the evenings, but it’s warm to hot in Cuba. If you plan to do any horseback riding or tours through the valleys + caves, light material long pants are highly recommended. Pack for how you plan to spend your time. The beach? The salsa club? Long walks? Just here for the pics? It’s all up to you.

They Came for the Art; They Came for the Music JSDD’s Wellness, Arts, Enrichment (WAE) Center wrapped up its 2011 Global Beat Series on December 8 at B’nai Shalom with a lively Latin rhythm performance by Los Ciegos del Barrio. The event combined the concert, for the very first time, with a silent auction featuring a large selection of WAE Center artists’ original art work and a kosher wine tasting. JSDD Executive Director Linda Press (left), who was the successful bidder in a very brisk silent auction, WAE Center Director Marilynn Schneider, Diane Klein of UJC Metrowest, and JSDD Board Member Larry Rein with Los Ceigos del Barrio, who brought a new appreciation of Latin rhythm to the community. Onstage, the New York based group Los Ciegos Del Barrio, literally translated as “The Blind Boys of the Neighborhood,” delivered a wide variety of music including: cumbia, bachata, Reggaeton, salsa, and meringue. Early into the performance, the audience was up on their feet dancing. The musicians, all legally blind, have always been determined never to let their disability get in the way of their spirit as they entertain audiences around the United States and internationally. That same spirit is demonstrated daily by the members attending the WAE Center, an alternative learning center in West Orange operating under Jewish Service for the Developmentally Disabled to provide artistic, educational and health enhancing opportunities to people with disabilities. “Los Ciegos del Barrio are passionate about their art. Their music comes from deep within, just as the art created by our WAE Center artists does,” said Marilynn Schneider, Director of JSDD’s WAE Center. “Both groups are rightfully proud of their creativity and accomplishments and are eager to share them with the world. “ JSDD WAE Center’s Global Beat Series will open its seventh season in the Spring of 2012. The series is made possible in part by funds from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts and administrated by the Essex County Division of Cultural and Historic Affairs.

A couple weeks ago I was watching Senator Al Franken talk to Stephen Colbert on The Late Show. They were talking about “pivoting” a conversation; the process of not answering the question you are asked, but covering a key point you want to make. It sounded a lot funnier when these two veteran comedians were discussing the issue. Flipping a conversation is a little like that process. We don’t want to ignore the issue under discussion. We just want to change the frame; we want to take the frame that our companion is using and flip that. We have been talking about framing and listening. Once we understand how Trump supporters frame their understanding of the conversation, we can listen with more compassion. Once we have the compassion to listen with accurate empathy, we can flip the conversation to achieve a completely new understanding of the material. I have been talking a lot about health care lately, mostly, because only Donald Trump believes that health insurance costs $12 a year. The rest of us know that medical expenses can be horrendous. They can hit anyone without warning. I remember one of my sisters wanted to take a sick child to the doctor and not having the $20.00 copay to do it. This event was 30 years ago. Health care is an issue that all of us understand on a personal level. The principles we have been discussing apply to any of the progressive issues that you see as important: environment, child care, women’s health, income inequality. If you missed it, or if you need a quick refresher about framing, here is the link to that post. Okay, so we are most likely operating out of a nurturing family frame. Our companion is most likely operating out of the strict father frame. If we have been talking to these family members and friends about things that they have done which expresses the nurturing family frame in the last few weeks, we’ve prepared them to make a switch. If we have asked Uncle FOX News about ways in which he is helped people without expecting anything in return, we have given him an opportunity to experience a nurturing family frame. When we make the switch, it will not seem like a completely foreign language to him. First, it’s important to recognize that most people do understand the need for government intervention in healthcare. For example, most people believe there is a need for Medicare and Medicaid in the system. Medicaid is known as Medi-Cal here in California. They might argue about who should be entitled to these services, but they recognize the need for healthcare services for the elderly and people with low income. It is interesting to note that in attending a town hall meeting my Congressman held back in February, he reported that his office got many calls from people telling him to get rid of Obamacare but that they wanted to keep the ACA (Affordable Care Act). It is surprising that so many people were unaware that they were the same thing. I can’t help but wonder if he’s getting the same calls now. Many voters are becoming much more aware of health care as an issue as they see the congressional debate over it. They are learning that much of what the Republican Party is advocating will provide them with little benefit. That has done little to change their thinking on what they believe the American healthcare system should look like. It has done a lot to help them understand that politicians they thought were advocating for them are not. So the next step is to help them see that a more open, free health care system is a better system for the nation as a whole is a benefit for the nation. The question of health care is not just about making a better system for the poor. Flipping the conversation can be done with any of our progressive or liberal issues: education, infrastructure, gun control, women’s issues, child care, climate change, agricultural policy, care for the poor. You will notice that I did not use the terms “food stamps,” or “welfare.” The punishing father frame, not a nurturing family frame, drive both of those terms. “Food stamps” are part of our agricultural policy. Nutrition programs should be considered separately from agricultural issues. That way nutrition programs will be based on what is best for people, not what is best for farms. For now, agriculture has a firm grasp on nutrition programs. Where are some of the opportunities for flipping the conversation? 1. Time frames. We often look at programs as potential money savers. When the required tax savings don’t appear in the first few months of the program, we consider it a failure. We need to start thinking in longer terms. Even up to 20 years as we invest more in education, infrastructure, immigration policy. All of these progressive policies will cost more to start. The benefit regarding less poverty may take many years to realize. Some families may take 20 years to recover a more independent life. 2. Everyone’s life style will improve. Bill Gates has told his friends that at some point it just does not matter how much money you have. You cannot spend it. Everyone’s life is better if there is no one living on the street, no one has to beg for necessities, the roads, bridges, and schools we all need are in good repair. We all have to breathe this air, drink this water, and eat this food. Better for everyone’s quality of life if it is clean. Yes, everyone must take responsibility for themselves. How do we require that people do that? How do we care for those who have less and are less able to do for themselves? What about the fossil fuel industry? Do they have a responsibility to clean up the mess that they make? 3. The size of government is the wrong question. What are we getting from the government? Is it what we want and need? Those are the questions we should be asking. Yes, a single payer health care system will mean more spending for the government. It will mean much less spending on health care. None of this is easy. None of this happens without more discussion, thoughtfulness. We must be willing to listen. We must be willing to consider what Trump supporters are afraid to lose. We must be willing to persuade. Again, some people are not going to change the way that they think, no matter what we say or do. Others can be persuaded. But whether or not we can convince people, we should be able to have a conversation. Comment, share, follow, and don’t forget to sign up for the email list. Most importantly, flip that conversation.

For three years after being forced from office, Nixon remained silent. But in summer 1977, the steely, cunning former commander-in-chief agreed to sit for one all-inclusive interview to confront the questions of his time in office and the Watergate scandal that ended his presidency. Nixon surprised everyone in selecting Frost as his televised confessor, intending to easily outfox the breezy British showman and secure a place in the hearts and minds of Americans. Likewise, Frost's team harboured doubts about their boss's ability to hold his own. But as the cameras rolled, a charged battle of wits resulted.

Kallie has worked for two different animal shelters and dedicated herself to helping shelter dogs with behavior challenges. While working at Animal Friends Alliance, she met Cathie through Cathie's K9 Coach program. Kallie continues to support a dog behavior program at Animal Friends Alliance and hopes to help as many dogs as possible! Kallie values knowledge and the continuation of learning.

Wrigley says she is getting pretty good at this whole teaching thing and aspires to be as good as Clover one day! In her spare time, Sarah also has a YouTube channel all about dog training.

It was through this work that her eyes were opened to the world of animal learning! Since her shelter days, Jordan has continued to expand her knowledge on animals. She earned her CPDT-KA (Certified Professional Dog Trainer- Knowledge Assessed) certification, and is also a Senior in Jean Donaldson's prestigious Academy for Dog Trainers. She believes that it is best to always further your knowledge, and strive to be progressive and open to learning. Science is an ever-evolving field, and it's important to stay up-to-date on the latest research! Jordan's interest in animals doesn't stop at dogs! She has a unique interest in reptiles and other animals. She even shares her home with a variety of reptilian creatures, as well as ferrets and tarantulas! She believes that animals of all kinds deserve love and respect- no matter the species. In her free time she enjoys making art, writing, and photography. She shares her home with her 5 dogs- Atlas, Pyro, Brita, Blitz, and BamBam! Jordan greatly enjoys working with all the amazing dogs and people at K9 Wisdom, and loves learning more through her work! CPDT-KA CERTIFIED TRAINER GROUP CLASS INSTRUCTOR Travis is a lifelong dog owner and animal lover. His first training experience came when he was 10 years old, a family training endeavor with a new puppy. Travis started volunteering with dogs in 2017, after losing his beloved terrier mix, Fred. Travis and Fred’s favorite pastime was going on long walks, so after Fred passed away, Travis signed up to walk dogs at Animal Friends Alliance, both as a way to honor Fred’s memory and a way to cope with the loss. Travis quickly fell in love with his new volunteer work and in addition to the wonderful dogs he got to work with, made some new friends with the staff and other volunteers at the shelter! Not long after starting as a volunteer, Travis met some dogs with behavioral challenges and learned more about the struggles they often face with getting adopted. This inspired Travis to take his volunteer work to the next level and devote his efforts to helping the dogs who needed a little bit more love, training, and patience to help their chances. Travis enrolled in Cathie's K-9 Coach program in 2018 and has continued to provide training and behavior modification support for shelter and foster dogs with Animal Friends Alliance since. Travis is excited to continue his training journey by mentoring with Cathie at K9 Wisdom! Travis has a "day job" as a civil engineer and lives in Fort Collins with his wife and two dogs: Liam, his 16 year old Chihuahua and Norma, a 7 year old lab/pitbull/etc mix. When he’s not working or volunteering, Travis enjoys reading, spending time with family, fishing, and hiking in the beautiful Colorado outdoors.

It's almost my favorite time of the year, Spring! I noticed new green blossoms on the trees this morning. As exciting as the new growth is, it also means pollination has begun. That means it also time for itchy eyes, runny noses, sneezing, wheezing and feeling tired. There are a few helpful, natural remedies that will help you feel better. Quercetin- A natural extract from plant foods and citrus fruits. It is a flavonol, which is a polyphenol that gives plants their bright colors. Quercetin is a natural anti-histamine without the uncomfortable side effects that come with OTC antihistamines. It calms the immune system to reduce or prevent histamine release. Some Quercetin supplements are combined with Bromelain, an extract found in pineapples which is anti-inflammatory and also calms the immune system. Quercetin also helps to heal intestinal permeability. Since there is a strong connection with allergies and leaky gut, this makes this supplement that much better! Consider taking 1000mg twice a day. You can find to here. (Caution for people on blood thinners, this isn't the best supplement for you, check with your doctor.) Stinging nettle leaf- (not root) Has been shown to make histamine receptors less sensitive. You can read a study here. Used in combination with Quercetin, it is a great antihistamine. I like to order stinging nettle from here. Butterbur- an herb that relaxes swollen nasal membranes and alleviates muscle spasms in the respiratory system. A typical therapeutic dose of butterbur extract is about 200mg/day (divided into an AM and PM dose for greater absorption). It can be taken with food to avoid stomach upset or headache. This herb is for tougher allergy cases and is best used only for 2-3 months. You can order here. Another thing to consider is eliminating dairy. Dairy causes more mucous and can make allergy symptoms worse. It can be inflammatory to some people, leading to intestinal permeability (leaky gut), which adds to the cycle of allergy mayhem! Healing your gut is vital to a strong immune system. I would love to help with that. Please let me now how I can help. Schedule a free Discovery call.

This year, Google is really pushing the move to SSL – they have even said they will punish sites that are not encrypted. On October 27, Google Chrome will mark your website as “not secure”. The new version of the Chrome browser will be introduced, in which all HTTP websites will get the warning badge when: – You interact with any input field – The page contains a password field – You are browsing in Chrome’s incognito mode. If your website runs on HTTP, then that means your customers will see the warning. This might make your website visitor feel doubtful about making a purchase, submitting a form, or even browsing your website. Will my website get the “not secure” Chrome badge? Open Google Chrome and enter your website URL address. If you see the “secure” badge (like in the above screenshot), you’re fine. That means your website runs on HTTPS, and all data that your website sends to the server and back is encrypted, i.e secure. You’re fine. If you see http:// (without “s”) in your site address and do not see the “secure” badge — you are affected. Continue reading to find out how to react. What to do? We recommend you to switch your website to HTTPS as soon as possible. We can help you with this. SSL (secure socket layer) certificates have been becoming more popular with the recent release of the news that Google will punish websites that are not encrypted. On top of that, Google also said they are “starting to use HTTPS as a ranking signal.” Additionally, Google sent out warnings that Chrome will start showing “not secure” on non-https pages: If you don’t have your website on a SSL yet, now is the time! Whether Karma Marketing + Media developed your business website or some other website design company did, we can help you get your site up to Google’s standards. It needs to be done quickly because time is running out. There are lots of reasons to move to SSL on your blog even outside of SEO, so if you don’t have one yet… what are you waiting for? Contact Michael Given at (941) 500-4530 to talk about moving your website into compliance with Google.

New Tennessee laws take effect July 1, 2023 A number of laws passed by the Tennessee General Assembly will take effect starting Saturday, July 1, 2023. Here are some of those laws: Garrison-Jordan Survivor Benefits Act This law generally increases the death benefit in workers compensation claims from 66 2/3% of the deceased’s average weekly wage to 75%, up to 100% of the state’s average weekly wage and makes other specific changes to current law concerning death benefits in workers’ compensation claims. This law allows the surviving parent or guardian of a child whose parent was a victim of vehicular homicide to convert a restitution order for child maintenance payments to a civil judgment at any time rather than following conclusion of the defendant’s sentence. Booting Consumer Protection Act This law prohibits a person from knowingly installing a vehicle immobilization device—also called a boot—on a motor vehicle parked on private property in the state. A violation of this law is a Class B misdemeanor. The law also requires any business that places boots on cars to accept debit and credit cards as a method of payment for the boot removal; additionally, someone in the business of installing boots will be prohibited from contracting the work of installing or removal out or compensating employees on commission. Silas Gable Flatt Law This law makes it an offense for someone to knowingly provide as motor vehicle to someone under the influence of any intoxicant or whose driver’s license has been suspended or revoked under certain circumstances. Anybody who does so would be committee a Class A misdemeanor. A first offense would warrant a minimum 48 hours incarceration; a second offense would receive 72 hours’ minimum incarceration; and a third violation would require at least seven days’ incarceration. SB0256 – Immunity from prosecution from drug overdose This law states a person experiencing an overdose shall be granted immunity from arrest, charging and prosecution on their first and subsequent overdoses “at the discretion of the responding law enforcement officer or the district attorney general’s office.” SB0868 – Penalties for text and telephone solicitations This law stipulates that in addition to phone call solicitations, text messages from solicitors may not be made between the hours of 8 a.m. and 9 p.m.; they cannot knowingly utilize “any method to block or otherwise circumvent” a residential subscriber’s use of caller ID; they cannot contact those on the Do Not Call Register; they must pay $500 annually to defray regulatory and enforcement expenses; and a solicitor who violates any of those provisions are subject to a civil penalty of up to $2,000 per violation. Previous law only applied to telephone calls. Tennessee Higher Education Freedom of Expression and Transparency Act This law prohibits institutions of higher education from showing bias or favoritism for or against student groups peacefully protesting, guest speakers points of view or a student group who requests a guest speaker to come to that institution. Additionally, the school will be prohibited from requiring students to pay fees or security deposits that are not charged to all other student groups or deny any student group access to school property if that property is typically used for similar purposes. Further, the law states universities are prohibited from requiring applicants for employment or admission to “submit a personal diversity statement” or to agree with an “institutional diversity statement” as part of the application or admissions process. Finally, the law states the university shall not use state funds, fees, dues or other money for meetings, membership or activities of any organization “if participation in such organization requires an individual or an individual’s employer, to endorse or promote a divisive concept.” SB0450 – Prohibits sale of tattoo or piercing materials for minors As enacted, this law would prohibit the sale or distribution of tattoo and body piercing paraphernalia to minors. Such sale or distribution would be a Class A misdemeanor. The bill also requires a person engaged in the sale or distribution of tattoo and body piercing paraphernalia to demand proof of age from a potential purchaser or obtain proof of age if the sale/distribution occurs through the mail. If a minor buys the materials, they will be subject to a $50 fine. Jabari Bailey Highway Safety Act This law increases the penalties for those who fail to move out of the way of stopped law enforcement vehicles on roadsides. Specifically, the bill changes the language of the state law to include any “stationary vehicle,” while before it was limited to emergency vehicles. Starting Saturday, Tennessee drivers will be required by law to move over or slow down when passing any stationary vehicle that has its flashing hazard lights activated, including civilian, maintenance, emergency or law enforcement vehicles. Tennessee Works Tax Reform Act This law will cut taxes for Tennessee families and small businesses by over $400 million. It also provides targeted relief to families with a three-month-long tax break on groceries from Aug. 1-Oct. 31. These cuts also aim to lower the tax burden on small businesses, boost Tennessee’s economic competitiveness and promote entrepreneurship. Teacher Paycheck Protection Act This law will go into effect to provide historic salary increases for Tennessee teachers. Under the new law, the base salary for teachers will increase each year until it reaches $50,000 in the 2026-2027 school year.

New SMU Center To Help Victims Of Crimes Against Women Southern Methodist University has announced it will open a new legal center that will provide services for the victims of domestic violence, sex trafficking and other crimes against women. Ray L. and Nancy Ann Hunter Hunt have committed $5 million for the Judge Elmo B. Hunter Legal Center for Victims of Crimes Against Women. The center, to be part of SMU’s Dedman School of Law, is being named in honor of Nancy Ann Hunt’s late father, who was a Missouri state and federal judge. Dedman students working in the new center will provide legal services such as protective orders; divorce, custody and child support agreements; and assistance with credit and housing issues. Students will not just help women – they’ll also gain experience and “see the human faces behind related legal issues,” an SMU news release said. Nancy Ann Hunt says her father’s main interest as a judge was the “well-being of individuals through fair treatment and protection under the law.” “Participating law students will enter the legal profession with a deeper understanding of the victims of exploitation, trafficking and abuse and what they need for their lives to be restored,” she said in the news release. “Their suffering may be hidden from our sight and may be uncomfortable to acknowledge publicly. But through the availability of free legal services, we hope they will feel empowered to come forward and obtain help.” The Hunter Legal Center plans to develop partnerships with community organizations such as Genesis Women’s Shelter, which helps victims of domestic violence, and New Friends New Life, which helps victims of sex trafficking.

Becoming redheaded is a decision that requires care and, of course, originality. This is because the nuance draws a lot of attention and needs to be combined with each person's skin tone to create a harmonious look. "For the men, the woman who adopts the style conveys the image of a sensual and exotic beauty," said the visionary Lilian Macedo of Chrysalis Visagismo in, Sao Paulo. The hairstylist Suemar Borba, owner of Su Beauty in Goiás, Brazil, joins the visageist and teaches them to choose the correct nuance for each skin tone. BEST RED HAIR COLORS FOR WHOM YOU HAVE YELLOW WHITE SKIN The tip is to abuse the coppery tones, like the one used by the actress Marina Ruy Barbosa. "The warm tones look great on those who have this skin tone.If it is very light, a more natural copper nuance pulling slightly to the gold, is great.To achieve this color, one can choose the tone 6.45 (dark blond Coppered acajú) or 7,35 (acaju golden blond), both INOA colorations, from L'Oréal Professionnel ", aided the hairstylist. EXPERT QUESTIONS IDEA SHADES FOR PINK WHITE SKIN Some people have a slightly rosy white skin tone, creating a more flushed appearance. To adhere to the redhead, in these cases, the hint of the visagist is to opt for the tone known as "strawberry blonde". "This tonality consists of a pale faded redhead, almost blonde, like the one adopted by the actress Jessica Chastain," he said. "My suggestion is to choose the colorations 7.4 (copper blond) or even 6.64 (dark blonde red copper) from Majirel," added Suemar. DISCOVER THE RULE SHADES FOR WHO HAS BROWN SKIN The brunettes can also adopt the redhead, but it takes a little more attention so that the chosen nuance harmonizes with the tone of skin. "The ones with light yellowish brown skin can bet on coppery tones, pulling red or aaju. The colorations of INOA 5,4 (light brown copper) and 5,62 (iridescent red light brown) are good options because they give Balance to the visual, "Suemar taught. In the case of brunettes with slightly darker skin, the professional's suggestion is never to adopt deep red: "I indicate the tones 5.60 (deep red light brown) or 5.56 (light brown red acaju), the line Majirouge To create a look that matches the tone of dark skin, you should go from there to even more shades. KNOW HOW TO ADOPT RICH HAIR IF YOU HAVE BLACK SKIN In the case of black skins, which already call attention by itself, Suemar's tip is to harmonize nuance with the personality of each woman: "In the most romantic, with calmer temperament, one should wear shades of red like 5, 5 (light brown acaju) or 5.56 (light brown acaju red) from Majirel. The more extroverted ones may dare with stronger nuances, such as 6.67 (deep dark red laurel) by Majirel or 6.60 Blonde dark red intense) of the line Majirouge ". In addition to the overall coloration, blacks can opt for wicks. "We managed to give light to the hair with reddish lights, copper or tan shades, so we created a sleek, modern look," suggested Lilian. TIPS ON HOW TO TREAT RED WIRES AT HOME Newly colored hair requires special attention also at home so the color stays vibrant until the next visit to the salon. "You should always use specific products for colored hair and adopt a weekly nutrition. "It is also necessary to avoid continuous exposure to humidity. Those who practice swimming or water aerobics, for example, should use special nozzles that protect the wires," he concluded.

Grumpy being prepared for trans-Atlantic flight following sale to new owner North American B-25D Mitchell serial 43-3318/N88972 has been purchased by a European buyer, Platinum Fighter Sales confirmed on 7 September. The twin-engined bomber, very rare as an airworthy example of the D-model Mitchell, has been ferried to the Erickson Aircraft Collection in Madras, Oregon from its previous home with the Historic Flight Foundation at Spokane, Washington. The Erickson team will perform maintenance on the aeroplane and prepare for a trans-Atlantic ferry flight. Built in Fairfax, Kansas City in 1943 and used by the US Army Air Forces as a crew trainer, 43-3318 went to the Royal Canadian Air Force as KL161 at the beginning of 1945. It served with the RCAF until being struck off charge during early 1962, taking up a new career as a fire-bomber. Restored by type experts Aero Trader at Chino, California, the B-25 arrived with The Fighter Collection at Duxford in 1987. It was with TFC that the No 98 Squadron, RAF livery with the name Grumpy was applied, this being the scheme the aircraft still wears. A subsequent sale to Vulcan Warbirds saw Grumpy moving to North Weald between 2004 and 2008, before acquisition by the Historic Flight Foundation. Having been worked on at Duxford by the Aircraft Restoration Company, the Mitchell was flown back across the Atlantic during 2009. It is believed N88972’s purchaser is Swiss businessman and pilot Hugo Mathys, who operates the Classic Formation display team of Douglas DC-3 N431HM and three Beech 18s, and owns US-based C-47 N150D.

This is one for connoisseurs. Like the tails on a tux, or the shine on your shoes, this is a finishing touch with style. The bind-off that has it all. A Hemmed Edge. A Picot Ruffle. On Toe-Up Socks. This bind-off combines three things you love about socks, but couldn’t have all together until now… The picot edge – those cute little points that you can do instead of a regular edge. The hemmed edge – the smooth, folded-over edge that you can do instead of ribbing. Yes, you can do this on the cast-on edge of a project, but what about on toe-up socks? Why should top-down sock-knitters have all the fun? A toe-up sock needs an edge you can do at the end. You could easily do a regular picot bind-off, but the edge won’t be hemmed. Some methods out there recommend doing a picot set-up and then sewing the live stitches down to make a hem. But I know that when I finish knitting a sock, I want to be done. So there has to be no sewing involved – the edge has to happen on the needles, with some sort of bind-off. Solution: Combine Two Techniques To Make The Picot Hem Bind-Off When I wanted a picot hemmed edge on my latest toe-up sock design, I knew I had to combine it with a really good bind off. The bind-off would have to be stretchy (if you’ve ever made a toe-up sock and then bound off a little too tight, you’ll know what I mean). But since I was dealing with making the hem at the same time, the bind-off had to be easy as well. I turned to my favorite fast bind-off, the yarnover bind-off. I combined the stretchy bind-off with the hemmed cast-on edge technique, doing one hem stitch and then binding it off with the stretchy bind-off. Learn how to do it in the video below, because… This Bind-Off Is In The New Fingering-Weight Pattern I’ll be releasing the fingering-weight version of my toe-up heel-flap socks pattern soon (details below), and I know you’re going to want to try this edging. Doesn’t it look slick in the photos? Give it a whirl now on small swatch with worsted yarn, so that you’ll be ready. Written instructions below the video. Picot Hem Bind-Off Instructions: Hemmed edge set-up Knit for at least one inch in St st. Next round: (YO, k2tog) around. Work in St st for at least one inch (10 rows in fingering-weight yarn, 6 in worsted-weight). Create the picot hem bind-off edge Fold work at the lace round and pick up the purl bump of the stitch 13 rows below, and place the purl bump on the left-hand needle (this step is hereafter abbreviated as GB (“get bump”). YO, k2tog, pso, *GB, YO, k2tog, pso, pso, rep from * until all sts have been bound off. Note: if you are working two socks at a time, you’ll have to either leave 1 stitch on the right-hand needle or put it on a stitch marker while you bind off the second sock before you can finish binding off the first sock. Tip: Watch The Number Of Set-Up Rows – Make Sure You Have An Inch If you are feeling impatient on the Stockinette set-up rows and want to get to the fun part already, just know that now’s not the time to skimp. Just like ribbing, if you don’t make this edging long enough, it will look funny. The picot hemmed edge tends to poof out when you have too few rows of Stockinette stitch in your set-up rows. The key: make sure you have 10 rows of Stockinette if you’re using fingering-weight yarn, and 6 rows if you’re using worsted. If you want to understand the techniques that make up the picot hem bind-off, make sure to refer to these videos: - Edge Treatments: How To Knit A Picot Hem - Eunny Jang’s Flexible Invention: The Stretchy Yarnover Bind-Off So, raring to try this technique on the new fingering-weight version of the toe-up heel-flap socks? The pattern will be published soon – here’s what you can do to speed up the process: Sign up to be a test-knitter! Details below… Calling Test-Knitters For The New Fingering-Weight Sock Pattern I’m looking for a select group of KnitFreedom readers to test-knit the new pattern. NOTE: YOUR KNITTING ABILITY LEVEL DOESN’T MATTER. If you can follow knitting directions and read a knitting pattern, you can do this sock. I’ve got resources on KnitFreedom for every technique you’ll need to know, including knitting in the round. I need feedback from adventurous knitters of all levels, as well as people with small feet, large feet, and high insteps. If you’d like to test-knit this pattern, leave a comment below and let me know. I’ll contact the first 20 commenters when it’s time to get started. If you’ve already talked to me, don’t worry – you’re on the list. Lastly, Coming Soon: A Peek Inside The Malabrigo Factory Yes, I’m planning a trip to the Malabrigo headquarters in Montevideo, Uruguay! I have no idea what I’ll find when I get there, but I’ll be bringing my camera and interviewing a guy named Antonio – that’s all I know. Of course I’ll take pictures and write up a big blog post about the whole thing. Got anything you want to tell the folks at Malabrigo? Leave a comment below, and I’ll pass on in person what you said. And lastly, how about this picot hem bind-off? What do you think? Too crazy? Are you going to try it? You guessed it, leave a comment, and I’ll see y’all next week!

This two-part study addresses the development of reliable estimates of the mass and fallspeed of single ice particles and ensembles. Part I of the study reports temperature dependent coefficients for the mass-dimensional relationship, m = aDb, where D is particle maximum dimension. The fall-velocity relationship, Vt = ADB, is developed from observations in synoptic and low-latitude, convectively-generated, ice cloud layers, sampled over a wide range of temperatures using an assumed range for the exponent b. Values for a, A, and B were found that were consistent with the measured particle size distributions (PSD) and the ice water content (IWC). To refine the estimates of coe±cients a and b to fit both lower and higher moments of the PSD and the associated values for A and B, Part II uses the PSD from Part I plus coincident, vertically -pointing Doppler radar returns. The observations and derived coe±cients are used to evaluate earlier, single moment, bulk ice microphysical parameterization schemes as well as to develop improved, statistically-based, microphysical relationships. They may be used in cloud and climate models and to retrieve cloud properties from ground-based Doppler radar and spaceborne, conventional radar returns.

Making learning child’s play: Gamification in eLearning Lifelong professional and personal training! This benefits both employees and companies. But how can companies support this process, increase motivation, improve the learning experience, and ensure that learning is fun? eLearning offers a variety of different options for optimizing the learning process. One of the most powerful tools is gamification: But what specific benefits and opportunities do learners and companies get from this? And what is the best way to integrate game functions? This article provides you with basic information about gamification in eLearning, an explanation of how it works and its benefits, and 3 tools that make gamification child’s play to integrate. In short: This is where you will learn everything you need to bring a breath of fresh air to your eLearning with gamification. Gamification: Definition and features Gamification goes back to the computer game industry. A variety of other sectors have taken advantage of the concepts and methods of gamification, transferring familiar gaming mechanisms to their areas. eLearning and digital knowledge transfer have also integrated familiar aspects and principles of gaming into learning context. Integration of the features and principles of gaming into non-game contexts Deterding’s 2011 definition The goal is to increase learners’ motivation and thus improve learning outcomes. As with traditional computer games, there are clear goals, rules, and options. Typical features and processes in gamified eLearning How gamification works Each and every one of us has a little child inside that just wants to play Each and every one of us still has an innate play instinct. Not for nothing is this used, particularly when teaching children and adolescents, to take a playful approach to imparting knowledge, values, and norms. This play instinct, however, is not limited to childhood. It lasts a lifetime—even if we often follow it with less intensity in adulthood. Conscious deployment of gamification features in eLearning will enable you to trigger your learners’ play instincts—perhaps without them being aware that they are learning. This explains why people often talk about learning as child’s play. Competition as motivation By integrating aspects of games, such as visible rankings and point systems, you set up an imaginary competition— for example, within a team, a department, or the entire workforce. This creates a playful incentive for people to constantly improve their score or rank and to do better than other participants. Games appeal to a wide range of emotions—curiosity, ambition, pride, and even frustration. But even negative feelings due to failed attempts can be motivating if what are seen as failures mean learners gain experience and knowledge. And the emotions associated with playing games are heightened where one level leads to the next and a story gives the game a greater meaning. If you are able to integrate an intriguing story into your gamification, you will significantly increase your employees’ motivation. How gamification doesn’t work When we talk about badges, leader boards and similar features, we are always talking about extrinsic motivation—motivation arising from external influences and stimuli. These elements play an important role in the learning environment, rewarding self-directed learning while also providing a highly appealing (visual) way of recording achievements. However, intrinsic motivation—people’s inner, personal motivation to apply what they have learned to their everyday work—should and must always be learners’ main source of motivation. At the same time, the power of competition between employees should not be underestimated. On the down side, competitive pressure that is too intense can be generated, and this can quickly become a disadvantage and be demotivating. You should give thought to when and to what extent you want to use gamification, and which features are suited to which learning scenarios. Benefits of gamification Users receive immediate feedback on their decision—in the form of points, badges, the progress bar filling up, or the ranking list when playing against/learning with other participants. eLearning in general—and especially gamification features—require learners to take active control of their own learning, turning otherwise passive seminar attendees into active learners. Learners can also decide for themselves when to engage with the learning material. Why gamification can work for older employees too If a staff cohort includes older people, there are more doubts about introducing new digital content. In the case of gamification, however, such concern is almost unfounded. On the one hand, eLearning only uses the principles of gaming, not the complex structures and controls that are often associated with it. In addition, all the above-mentioned principles can be introduced without time pressure. This means that participants do not have to have fast reactions or be able to operate controls quickly. Regardless of this, the over-50s now represent the largest group of gamers, with 9.9 out of a total of 34 million, and equal proportions of men and women. (Source: Annual Report of the German Games Industry 2019). It can be deduced from this that gamification in eLearning should not generally be a problem for older employees. 2 tools for professional gamification in eLearning The digital coach Integrating the interactive coach into your eLearning strategy provides you with a scenario-based that enables you to take a playful approach to training your employees to communicate in specific situations in the corporate environment. This allows you to optimize their communicative skills and heighten their awareness of situations they encounter. It also enables you to provide them with information, improve their assertiveness and develop their empathy in the context of such situations. The flashcard app The flashcard app allows you to make knowledge available to your employees in very smallest units via digital flashcards, conveying knowledge sustainably and efficiently. Learning outcomes are supported by artificial intelligence, which automatically returns flashcards that need to be repeated to the bottom of the pile. So they are automatically shown to the learner again at a suitable point. The bottom line. In today’s fast-paced world of work, lifelong learning is essential, so the easier it is to learn, the better. In this context, gamification is the ideal way to promote self-directed, results-oriented learning and to engage learners cognitively, socially, and emotionally in the learning process. Gamified eLearning content draws learners deeply into the learning process, requiring them to make new decisions over and over again. Success is immediately visible and participants learn from their decisions and actions, on which they receive immediate feedback. Basic motivators, such as imaginary competition and the innate play instinct make learning easier to access and literally turn it into child’s play for participants.

Across the United States, the Drug Enforcement Administration is warning people about a worrisome new pattern: rainbow fentanyl pills. Since August 2022, DEA and their law enforcement partners have seized a variety of brightly-colored fentanyl pills at 26 locations. Because ‘rainbow fentanyl’ has been reported in the media as a new strategy used by drug rings to sell deadly fentanyl disguised as candy to young individuals and children, it appears to be a new method of distribution. Continue reading to learn more about this dangerous new trend and what to do if you or a loved one has developed a fentanyl habit. Rainbow fentanyl pills are colorful fentanyl pills disguised to appeal to young users since they look like candy. Rainbow fentanyl pills may also be called “skittles” or “smarties” What is Fentanyl? Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is 50-100 times more powerful than morphine. Because of its strong opioid properties, fentanyl was developed for cancer patients’ pain management treatment in the form of a dermal patch on the skin. It is frequently added to heroin to boost its potency, or used to impersonate highly potent heroin. It is frequently manufactured in Mexico in clandestine laboratories. Because they think they are purchasing heroin, users frequently overdose on fentanyl, which is often disguised as heroin. How do People Take Fentanyl? Fentanyl can be administered as a shot, a patch that adheres to a patient’s skin, or as lozenges that are sucked like cough drops, if prescribed by a physician. Illegal fentanyl that has been connected to recent overdoses is produced in laboratories. Fentanyl is sold illegally as a powder, dropped onto blotter paper, put in eye droppers and nasal spray bottles, or made into pills that resemble other opioid prescriptions. What Do Rainbow Fentanyl Pills Look Like? Rainbow fentanyl pills vary in size, shape, and color but typically look like small, pastel-colored prescription pills. These pills are inciting a lot of fear due to how similar they look to candy and the appeal they might have to children and young adults. However, illicitly manufactured fentanyl is the majority of what is found on the street and is frequently found in powder or liquid form. As a powder, it looks like other popular complex drugs such as cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine. In liquid form, It is usually dispensed in eye drops, nasal sprays, and other substances that can easily penetrate the body. Powdered fentanyl is typically white but may have brown spots. Liquid fentanyl is clear but could have a tint to it depending on what substances it may be mixed with. What are the Effects of Fentanyl? Fentanyl is not safe in any amount. It has various effects on people based on various factors, including height, weight, age, and health history. Other factors that might affect you if you take fentanyl are whether you’re accustomed to it, whether you’ve taken other drugs while consuming fentanyl, or whether the fentanyl is strong. Fentanyl can produce the following effects: - Pain relief - Slurred speech - Flushed skin - Dry mouth - Decreased appetite - Decreased blood pressure - Respiratory depression What are Rainbow Fentanyl Pills? Rainbow fentanyl comes in a range of vibrant colors, shapes, and sizes, including pills, powder, and blocks that resemble sidewalk chalk. There is no evidence that DEA laboratories have discovered that certain colors are more powerful than others. Despite this, every color, shape, and size of fentanyl should be considered extremely dangerous. Traffickers may even refer to the products as “Sweet Tarts” and “Skittles” after real candies as a way to disguise them. Why are Rainbow Fentanyl Pills Dangerous? The bright colors are unlike how the drug is usually packaged, which is in pills made to look like prescription medicines or mixed with illicit drugs like cocaine. The rainbow fentanyl pill tactic is a way to get fentanyl to more people, especially young people, which drives more drug sales, creates higher addiction rates, and, therefore, more profit. It is believed that drug traffickers are deliberately driving addiction in young people and children by distributing rainbow fentanyl. Drugs containing fentanyl, a synthetic opioid, can be lethal even in small amounts. Every day, over 150 people die from fentanyl-related overdoses. Fentanyl cannot be detected by sight, taste, or smell, and it may be present in drugs in lethal amounts. Unless you test your drugs with fentanyl test strips, it will be difficult to determine if they have been contaminated. Signs of Fentanyl Abuse There are no reported distinctions between fentanyl abuse and other opioid-related substance addiction, but fentanyl addiction is identical to other drug addictions. Someone who takes fentanyl and becomes addicted might frequently “lose” their prescription in an effort to acquire more fentanyl. Doctor shopping may also be problematic with prescription fentanyl addiction. Individuals who are addicted to prescription drugs may even steal their family and friends’ prescriptions in order to get high. It is vital to recognize the physical, emotional, behavioral, and other signs of fentanyl abuse and dependency which include: - Slurred speech - Swollen hands and feet - Excessive sweating - Neglecting responsibilities Dozing off at inappropriate times - Financial or legal issues - Intense cravings - Continuing to use despite adverse consequences - Mood swings - Lack of personal hygiene Dangers of Fentanyl Abuse Long-term fentanyl use can result in a number of issues. Smoking fentanyl, for example, may cause severe lung damage. Because smoking fentanyl is also difficult to regulate, it may result in an overdose. The drug’s quick onset makes it more likely that the user will continue to use it, increasing the risk of addiction. Those who inject fentanyl are at risk of contracting diseases such as HIV or hepatitis C. When we abuse drugs and are malnourished and poor at maintaining hygiene, our bodies have a more difficult time resisting infections. At first, we believe that the drug is not harming us. However, the longer we use it, the more severe the damage to our bodies will be. Using fentanyl can also adversely impact our blood pressure and heart function. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, drug overdoses and poisonings caused the deaths of over 100,000 people in the United States in the year ending January 2022. The CDC estimates that 67% of these deaths were caused by synthetic opioids such as fentanyl. Many of these deaths are a result of mixing fentanyl with cocaine, methamphetamine, and heroin, which has resulted in many deaths. Fentanyl alone is fatal at just two milligrams. What is the Treatment Process for Fentanyl Addiction? Although rarely fatal, quitting fentanyl on your own can be extremely uncomfortable and dangerous. Those struggling with fentanyl addiction can best combat this by reaching out to a specialized addiction treatment center such as Knoxville Recovery Center. The following are typical services administered to help treat an addiction to fentanyl: Because fentanyl is an addictive and potent substance, most people who are addicted must endure a medically-supervised detoxification program. Medical personnel and therapists are on hand 24/7. They may give patients fentanyl withdrawal medications to reduce its severity and duration. Depending on the patient’s requirements, they may provide a medication like Buprenorphine/Naltrexone to reduce cravings for fentanyl and withdrawal symptoms. Patients will require either inpatient or intensive outpatient rehab following detoxification. During rehab, patients will have the chance to receive one-on-one counseling to address co-occurring issues. Patients will also have the ability to participate in group therapy as part of their rehab program. With the help of a therapist, patients may learn how to live substance-free, avoid triggers, and manage stress in a way that does not involve drug use. A team of health practitioners and therapists will put together a long-term maintenance plan in collaboration with the patient to prevent relapse and substance abuse. Drug rehab and addiction treatment will vary from individual to individual, as customized treatment programs are the most effective. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) Those addicted to opioids such as fentanyl frequently use medication-assisted treatment (MAT). Behavioral health therapies are combined with medications to treat opioid addiction using naltrexone, methadone, and buprenorphine (Vivitrol). Vivitrol, methadone, and buprenorphine (FDA-approved MAT medications) are used for treatment. These therapies are safe and effective when coupled with counseling and psychosocial support. MAT has been shown to increase patient survival, maintain patients in treatment, reduce illegal opioid use, improve employment capabilities, and improve birth outcomes for women with substance use disorders who are pregnant.

Cheshire’s Most Haunted? This Tudor manor house is fast gaining a ghoulish reputation as one of the spookiest film locations in the North West. In the last couple of years the Old Hall ghouls have been frightfully busy putting in a number of appearances on Living TV’s Most Haunted. If you’re looking for a spine-chilling setting, there’s none better! Paranormal investigators have (allegedly; though the dead don’t sue) found nearly a dozen active ghosts at this historic hall. Legend has it that the Victorian parlour is haunted by a dour nineteenth century gamekeeper; another spectral squatter has been ‘seen’ cleaning his gun, a faithful dog at his feet. In the Great Hall several people have felt their hair being tugged and a cord or ribbon slowly tightening around their necks. And these spooks are loving the limelight! During a ‘Screaming Banshees’ show for Most Haunted this year , Mick Ricketts, Old Hall Steward, said the ghosts had “transparent enthusiasm for getting on film. They practically all made an appearance – what a hunger for celebrity… we could see right through them!” We challenge you, brave visitor, to see or feel it for yourselves at our Half Term Hauntings. Walk or tremble your way through the haunted house, especially spectrally dressed for Hallowe’en and prepare to have your rafters rattled! Braver souls can get up close and personal and help solve the Horrible History Mystery. Skittish (mostly Tatton staff) and younger visitors will be able to calm their nerves by taking part in Monstrous Mask Making and Frightful Face Painting or by enjoying the Kiddies’ Funfair. Old Hall staff are advising visitors to come in large numbers and to make sure they are not left at the back. As Morbid Mick Ricketts commented “we do recommend safety in numbers, but there is also one sure-fire way to put scaring off the spectres – do as we do and come dressed in your most terrifying costumes”. Half Term Hauntings take place at the Old Hall from Tuesday 27th to Sunday 1st November 12-5pm (last entry 4pm). Admission Prices: Adults £4.50, Child £2.50 (under 4s free of charge), Family £11.50 (2 adults and up to 3 children). Normal Park entry charges of £4.50 per car apply. All prices include National Trust Members. There are small, additional charges for face painting and mask making. Call 01625 374400 for more information. During half term the Mansion, Farm and Gardens are also open from Saturday 24th to Sunday 1st November except Monday 26th October. Mansion 1pm to 4pm. Gardens 11am to 4pm. Farm 11am to 4pm.

This post was most recently updated on March 16th, 2023.3 min read. Have you run into this puzzling error? It comes in a couple of flavors, but it boils down to you failing miserably when you run the create_hypertable() function on your PostgreSQL TimescaleDB database server! Annoyingly, it might mean that the whole function is missing (extension is not installed or loaded) or that your parameters are not properly parsed (an issue with your command). I know, that it sucks. I have been there. That’s why I wrote this article! Table of Contents You’re trying to transform your PostgreSQL database/schema, possibly already using TimescaleDB, into a Hypertable. However, that fails and throws an error like this: Npgsql: 42883: function create_hypertable(…) does not exist. You might get the parameters populated like this: Npgsql: 42883: function create_hypertable('TableOne','created') does not exist. Or they might be unknown like this: Npgsql: 42883: function create_hypertable(unknown, unknown) does not exist. You’ll either be missing the extension from the server, it might not be loaded properly, it might be missing from your database, or your command might be using bad or corrupted parameters. Below, I’ll go through the solutions to these issues! The simple tutorial below explains step-by-step what to do (or verify) to get this working! Time needed: 20 minutes How to configure your PostgreSQL/TimescaleDB to support Hypertables? - Add Hypertables extension to your database server Navigate to your PostgreSQL server, select “Server parameters” and then find “shared_preload_libraries” – it should be a dropdown, from which you can enable TIMESCALEDB. Then navigate back to Overview of your PostgreSQL server and select Restart. - Add Hypertables extension to your database (schema) Connect to your PostgreSQL database with psql (or any other such tool), and run the following SQL: CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS timescaledb CASCADE; I guess technically speaking you could also insert this into an EF Core Migration! In case you’re wondering how to connect to your Azure PostgreSQL Server with psql, you can do this with Cloud Shell – and it’s really easy! See here: How to configure Azure PostgreSQL to allow Cloud Shell connections? - (OPTIONAL) Add an empty EF Core Migration Do this only if you’re using Entity Framework in the first place. 😅 Just run Add-Migration - Change a table into a hypertable with a function create_hypertable() is a function that has a couple of alternative signatures – the one I’ll be using takes the (1) table name first and (2) the column name of the column containing time values (as well as the primary column to partition by). You will need to call this function, and instead of actually transforming or changing a table into a hypertable, it creates a new hypertable based on your old table – and deletes the old one. This is irreversible! Additionally, it is a SELECT <function_name> -kinda command. We can live with that – it’ll look somewhat like the below: SELECT create_hypertable(‘”TableOne”‘, ‘Created’) Wait, WAIT – what’s with the weird quotes? Yep, that’s what it takes – the column name needs to be in single quotes, but the table name needs to be first in double quotes (if not in lowercase), then wrapped in single quotes. - (OPTIONAL) Run create_hypertable in your EF Core Migration There are a couple of exact ways that you can write this command, but at the end of the day, you’ll probably be using migrationBuilder.Sql to run your SQL commands (in case you’re using EF, that is). At the end of the day, your migration and command(s) might look somewhat like this: protected override void Up(MigrationBuilder migrationBuilder) migrationBuilder.Sql(@"SELECT create_hypertable('""TableOne""', 'Created')"); migrationBuilder.Sql(@"SELECT create_hypertable('""TableTwo""', 'Created')"); Wait, wait, WAIT! This is even weirder now, with different quotes and literal string?? Yeah, it is pretty weird, sure. The column name needs to be in single quotes, but the table name needs to be first in double-quotes (if not in lowercase), then in single quotes, and finally the double-quotes need to be escaped (for string literal). I couldn’t get the normal escape (non-literal string with \”) to work, so this was my workaround (using @ to make the string literal)… 😉 And that’s it! Let me know if it works for you as well in the comments -section below! ☺ - Power IoT and time-series workloads with TimescaleDB for Azure Database for PostgreSQL - How to configure a custom 404 page for a SharePoint site? - August 22, 2023 - Azure DevOps pipelines suddenly failing with “##[error]#0 building with default instance using docker driver” - August 15, 2023 - How to fix Windows not recognizing your mouse clicks? - August 8, 2023

Sugar Addiction is Real Dear Kosterina Family, Sugar addiction is real. In our world today, sugar makes up over 18% of the standard American Diet - sneaking into everyday foods from yogurt to spaghetti sauce. Our bodies aren't naturally equipped to deal with such a sugar overload, and it’s proven to be quite toxic and the cause for many health issues facing our world today. But, kicking a sugar habit takes work. When removing it from your diet, you may even have withdrawal or flu-like symptoms. Don't let that stop you though. Sugar has been proven to have a direct impact on our mental health, energy levels and even risk for certain cancers. I was addicted to sugar for many years and I think I’ve finally just freed myself from the addiction. How? I worked to become fat-adapted. And it didn’t happen overnight. It took me about 6 months. I slowly replaced a lot of the sugar and refined carbs I was eating daily (oatmeal, cereal, bread, popcorn, chips, sugary drinks, dressings) with healthy fats (avocados, coconut oil, eggs, nut butters, butter, full-fat yogurt, and of course extra virgin olive oil). Knowing how long it took me to make these changes, I recommend baby steps: - If you take your coffee with sugar, try using just cream. (Apparently full fat dairy or cream is ok!) - If you eat cereal or oatmeal for breakfast, try eating eggs a few days a week. Or try Bulletproof Coffee and attempt an intermittent fast. - If you eat sandwiches for lunch, swap to big salads a few days a week. - If you’re craving a burger, have it! Just make sure it’s grass-fed and ditch the bun. Add caramelized onions! And more generally: - Read labels: Sugar is sneaky. Look for simple, natural ingredients that you can pronounce when purchasing foods (real foods - even better!). Shop the perimeter of the supermarket. Don’t venture into the center. - Drink more tea or water: Usually a sugar craving is a sign your body needs something else. Try sparkling waters or tea to keep you occupied. - Add more fat: When sugar cravings strike, go full fat! Fat fills you up in a healthy way; don't be afraid to go heavy on the EVOO! Are you wondering just how much sugar is ok? I was wondering too, so I asked my nutritionist. She said to limit sugar intake to no more than 25-30g per day. (The average American consumes about 94g of sugar per day). I used to eat a Chobani Flips yogurt as a snack every day which in and of itself had 21g of sugar! The more you know…

What are the health benefits of olive oil? Olive oil has been proven to lower LDL (bad cholesterol) and raise HDL (good cholesterol) levels when used to replace saturated fat such as butter. It also contains beta carotene, vitamins A, E, D and K, plus many more healthful nutrients. Research shows these nutrients have beneficial effects on almost every bodily function. Extra virgin olive oil has the lowest oxidation rate of cooking oils, meaning it is able to maintain its molecular structure when heat is applied. You want the lowest oxidation rate possible because oxidation promotes free radicals, chemicals that are highly reactive and damage cells. Some of this damage may lead to cancer and other disease states. Extra virgin olive oil is also one of the best sources of antioxidants, which protect cells from damage and oxidation. Extra virgin olive oil also has an amazing skin- and body-protecting polyphenols called hydroxytyrosol. Studies show that hydroxytyrosol has among the greatest free-radical absorbing capacities.

TAMPA (FOX 13) - It’s an iconic photo of our home planet: The wispy white clouds and ice caps swirling with the blues and tans of the land and sea – all standing in stark contrast to the blackness of space. But you may not know the full story behind this unique view of Earth. The so-called “Blue Marble” photo was taken on December 7, 1972 during the last Apollo mission to the moon. The Apollo 17 crew -- Eugene Cernan, Ronald Evans and Jack Schmitt – were five hours and 18,000 miles into their trip to the moon when one of them took the picture. NASA credits the whole crew with the photo but Schmitt later said he thought he’d shot the actual image, using a 70-millimeter Hasselblad camera with an 80-millimeter Zeiss lens. Later during that mission, Schmitt became the only certified geologist (with a Ph.D from Harvard, no less) to visit the lunar surface. He and Cernan spent over 20 hours walking on the moon, more than any of the previous 10 astronauts. After his return to Earth, Schmitt was elected to the U.S. Senate, representing his native New Mexico. Cernan, meanwhile, became known as the last man – to date – to walk on the moon, offering his own quote as he climbed off the lunar surface for the last time: The Blue Marble photo, though, has proven to be the crew’s best known legacy. NASA released the image on Saturday, December 23, 1972, and it made the front page of most newspapers over that long Christmas weekend. Cornell University biochemist Dr. Gregory Petsko later explained that the photo’s release came during the beginning of heightened environmental activism of the 1970s, just two years after the first Earth Day. The image, Petsko says, quickly became a symbol of the young movement. “Our whole planet suddenly, in this image, seemed tiny, vulnerable, and incredibly lonely against the vast blackness of the cosmos,” he wrote. “It also seemed whole in a way that no map could illustrate.” NASA says the Blue Marble is the agency’s most requested image, and one archivist believes it is one of the most widely distributed images in human civilization. Even though satellite images have now become commonplace in our lives – you can even watch a live camera from the International Space Station from your living room chair around the clock – the Apollo 17 crew knew their photo would always hold a special place in history. “It’s because we’re earthlings,” Schmitt told 'Smithsonian Magazine' in 2002. “Even the first generation to settle on the Moon will think of the Earth as home.” Apollo 17's launch at 12:33 a.m. Florida time, was the only night launch of the mighty Saturn V rocket. It meant that Africa was in daylight during the early hours of the spacecraft's flight. And with the December solstice approaching, Antarctica was also illuminated. This was one of the very first times that astronauts could see the entire Earth illuminated from that distance; previous missions had seen more4 of a crescent Earth. It was also the first Apollo mission trajectory put the south polar ice cap in view. The image was technically taken upside-down from what we expect – because there is no up or down in the weightlessness of space. It’s usually turned 180 degrees to match our visual expectation of south being “down.” The 1972 Tamil Nadu cyclone can be seen in the top right of the Blue Marble image. The storm had brought flooding and high winds to the Indian state of Tamil Nadu on December 5, two days before the photograph was taken. LINK: More details from NASA

It was thought that when skin is wounded and a scar is formed, a cell called a fibroblast, which is a kind of connective tissue, moves to the site of the wound and leave plugs to generate a three-dimensional structure called an extracellular matrix. Chronic wounds that don't heal or fibrosis involve abnormal scarring, which can be a serious threat to health. Scientists have sought to learn more about where these fibroblasts come from and the exact role they play in scarring. Researchers knew that scar formation involves a specific type of fibroblast that expresses a gene called Engrailed-1. This lineage of cells is present in skin as well as fascia, a sheet of connective tissue that sits below the skin. Scientists led by Dr. Yuval Rinkevich, Group Leader for Regenerative Biology at the Institute of Lung Biology and Disease at Helmholtz Zentrum München wanted to know more about how the scarring process was controlled. They used a variety of molecular techniques including genetic ablation. In their work, the researchers were able to eliminate the fascia fibroblasts. When they did so, wounds did not incorporate an extracellular matrix, and only unhealthy scars that were dysfunctional were able to form. The investigators also prevented fascia fibroblasts from moving to the skin by applying a porous film under the skin, which caused chronic open wounds. Their experiments led the research team to conclude that within fascia is a set of fibroblasts that sits inside a sealant that can migrate; this assembles various necessary biological tools, including different cell types and a matrix that the body uses to heal wounds. The work has been reported in Nature. "The findings of our research give fascia tissue a new role for future science. This will shift the attention of the scientific community to not only to look at fibroblasts in the dermis but also at native cells in the fascia when researching on wound healing," said Rinkevich. This study has indicated that when scars form in mammals, the injury causes a universal response that uses fibrotic tissue to heal wounds rapidly with scars. This stops infections and prevents excessive bleeding. It had been thought that scars are caused when fibroblasts leave an extracellular matrix at the site of a wound. In actuality, scars seem to form when sentry fibroblasts that reside in the fascia move a reservoir of matrix jelly to open wounds. The mechanism that the researchers have revealed may help scientists prevent pathological fibrosis, and initiate scarless healing. "Our new findings challenge and reconfigure the traditional view of the body's matrix system of connective tissue. This is opening up a new biological concept that radiates to a variety of aspects of scar-related disease," said the co-first author of the report Donovan Correa-Gallegos, a graduate student at Helmholtz Zentrum München.

The Lakshmi project was born during an Ayurveda course in India Linda and Franco were so struck by the deep, balanced and holistic knowledge of this extraordinary wisdom that they had the idea of transferring it to the beauty sector in Western countries. Joy and radiant beauty are the expression of a newly found reconnection to consciousness. In this concept lie the foundations for Lakshmi’s search for components, methods, and formulations to achieve Absolute quality. For over 20 years in the wellness sector and natural cosmetics, comes from a deep passion for the East and the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda. a line of absolutely extraordinary cosmetics by combining the wisdom of Ayurveda, Naturopathy, and Aromatherapy with the most advanced cosmetic knowledge. Commitment and experience Lakshmi has been producing more than 300 Certified Eco-Organic products, not tested on animals. Showing coherence and commitment to its ethical values. FRANCO CANTERI, THE FOUNDER OF LAKSHMI TELLS HOW THE COMPANY WAS FOUNDED In 1980 I took part in one of the first courses on Ayurveda which was held in New Delhi. I decided to take part in the course because at that time I used to teach yoga and meditation. The course was entitled “Pioneers of Ayurveda”. During the course, we learned the deep value of Ayurveda and a new way of perceiving the life on earth of human beings. It was a deep vision that described the connection between man and seasons, the influence of food on our health, the influence of plants, herbs, emotions, love, and thoughts on our physiology. Our minds and hearts opened to a new unexpected and fascinating view of life. We learned to recognize the three basic body types (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) and their combinations. If when you are born Air and Ether are the most predominant elements (out of the five) then Vata is your predominant body type. You will be healthy, balanced and feel well if you eat certain food rather than others if you do more sport or take an interest in new things if you follow a daily routine rather than another. Every day was a new discovery; our enthusiasm soared to new heights! I discovered that there are herbs, plants, and flowers that can increase or decrease Vata, Pitta, and Kapha and rebalance them. That was when I had the idea to produce cosmetics with plant, herb and flower extracts to balance and harmonize Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. In the beauty sector, Vata has dry and dehydrated skin, Pitta has sensitive skin that tends to suffer from couperose and Kapha has oily skin and excess sebum. This is the story of the origins of a line of cosmetic products which year after year satisfies all the professional beauty requirements with a wide range of products. We pursued our dream. A dream considered impossible by everyone: to produce completely natural cosmetics. Our determination led us to establish a cosmetic laboratory in Tuscany. We started with a small laboratory of 70 square meters. Now it is one of the largest laboratories of natural products in Europe, with more than 2 million pieces produced every year. At last in our laboratory, we could make our dream come true, thanks also to two great cosmetologists with a passion for natural products. Today almost all our products are completely natural and have been certified as natural by AIAB, the association that certifies natural products. Lakshmi represents our dream come true: Ethical Beauty. Lakshmi’s deepest and most vital aim is to transfer the inseparable “Beauty and Well-being” combination into everyday life. The result is an extraordinary line of cosmetics “Made with Joy”, conceived and produced with joy, love, and respect. Our creams base Lakshmi’s natural cosmetics are pure and highly nourishing; they keep the skin fresh and vital because they are made with raw materials supplied by the laboratory of Mother Nature: herbs, seeds, flowers, fruits and products from bees. Our eco-sustainable project meets the perfection of simplicity. Perfectly oriented to the East according to the dictates of Vastu architecture of ancient India. The Lakshmi building is entirely made of wood and glass. Sustainability and ethic We are against genetic manipulation and require non-transgenic components from suppliers. The individual components and finished products are not tested on animals and do not contain animal substances.

LARSSON releases a new design of the popular rasper. The slimmed design reduces weight and more service space around the rasper is obtained. The rotor design is kept by means of larger rotor diameter that incorporates the patented groove profile for the rasping blades. The profile makes it possible to place a greater number of rasping blades into the same diameter compared to the conventional profile. The rasping blades are clamped between two steel profiles, which allows them to be turned over or replaced rapidly. With the large rotor diameter LARSSON is able to maintain the high velocity for the rasping blades at a lower motor speed. Several benefits are then achieved; reduced centrifugal force gives less stress in the material, greater number of rasping blades in the rotor increases the time between changing the blades and also increases starch extraction. Direct drive means less transmission losses and reduced power consumption. The LARSSON™ rotor is reversible which increases rasping blade service life. The new LARSSON design is also the most service friendly rasper on the market. Available in widths from 400 up to 1000 mm and motor sizes up to 500 kW. LARSSON™ Rasper GL550/300 is specially designed for small capacities. The rasper is entirely made from stainless steel and fulfills the requirements of easy operation, maintenance and accessibility.

In the ever-changing world of plastic surgery and dermatology, there’s no shortage of treatments available for those looking to shed fat and sculpt their bodies. But Emsculpt, the FDA-cleared non-surgical body contouring treatment that first hit the scene in 2018, is in a league of its own. Emsculpt is known for its impressive muscle toning and fat-burning properties—and the non-invasive treatment requires zero downtime afterward. But what exactly is this high-intensity device? We consulted a group of experts to find out. We spoke with Dr. Arash Akhavan of the Dermatology and Laser Group, Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank, the Celebrity Cosmetic Dermatologist and Founder of PFRANKMD, and Adriana Martino, the owner of SKINNEY MedSpa, to learn about the technology behind Emsculpt, find out who is a good candidate for treatment, and how patients can maximize their results after the procedure.

There is a certain give and take in municipal matters facing cities. Want to build a new train station, boardwalk or park? Some people will love it, and some will hate it. Public meetings will be filled with angry commentary, but usually some compromise, however small and perfunctory, is made. Projects might grudgingly be green-lighted, but at least some of the people are happy, some of the time. That does not seem to be the case with the proposed San Francisco Marina Expansion. As we reported this summer, after the City of San Francisco and Pacific Gas & Electric finally agreed to a nearly $190 million settlement in 2021, where the utility company was obliged to clean up toxic waste in East Harbor, PG&E has been working with the S.F. Recreation and Park Department on plans for a new public marina. The results, which include an expanded West Harbor, seem to appeal to absolutely no one. The San Francisco Examiner reported that residents have been in an “uproar.” Nearly 2,750 people have signed petitions complaining that the new harbor would change the Marina Green area without cleaning it up. “Opponents of the project argue that the new harbor would obstruct the Marina Green and dredge only 15% of the toxic waste in the process,” the Examiner said, adding that the original settlement included the cleanup as well as “designing and implementing a project to improve the Marina Small Craft Harbor, including replacing failing docks in the East Harbor and increasing recreational access to the waterfront for all.” Instead of rehabilitating East Harbor, Rec and Parks has proposed moving some of the East Harbor’s boats “right in front of the Marina Green, blocking parkgoers’ currently unobstructed view of the water and the Golden Gate Bridge.” In the give and take on municipal matters, competing interests often emerge at odds with each other. (That is certainly shaping up to be the case with the proposed pedestrian bridge that would span the Oakland Estuary, where sailors and cyclists’ interests sit at opposite ends of the spectrum.) But in the case of San Francisco Marina, sailors and non-sailors alike are displeased with the idea of an expanded West Harbor. “The proposed breakwater will be terrible for junior sailing, J/22s, Knarrs and Folkboats and race committee operations,” said Bruce Stone, the vice president of the S.F. Marina Harbor Association, a nonprofit representing berth holders and users of San Francisco Marina. Many fleets do not use motors, and must tack upwind when returning from racing and practice. An expanded harbor would only increase that distance. “[Rec and Parks] told us they are willing to relocate these boats to slips near the new harbor entrance, but that makes a longer walk to the clubs,” Stone said, warning that the proposed project could “kill those legacy fleets of the Bay that give the city character and color.” (There are also serious concerns about moving the fuel dock currently in Gashouse Cove to West Harbor, which is neither “feasible or responsible,” according to the dock’s owner.) Rec and Parks is currently in the planning and community-engagement phase. “The next phase would be to begin project permitting, environmental reviews, and going over the design next year,” the Examiner said. “A detailed design is then expected in 2024, with a four-year construction period beginning in 2026.” Catherine Stefani, who represents District 2 on the Board of Supervisors, has recused herself from the municipal debate about San Francisco Marina “under the advice of the city attorney,” according to the Examiner. “Her office told [us] that ‘she and her husband have a conflict of interest arising from their boat slip in the harbor.'” A Marina resident and grassroots organizer told the Examiner that the project seemed like a “done deal” during the handful of meetings since March. (The Oakland pedestrian bridge is starting to feel the same way.) A Rec and Parks spokesperson told the Examiner that, “Back-and-forth [is] part of the process and something that the department is quite familiar with. ‘We hear from people with very strong opinions for and against projects often. It’s all feedback we consider … in fact, we solicit it.'” What’s your feedback? Please comment below, or email us here.

Creating Action Plans to Achieve Your Goals Chapter 13: Monitor & Track Progress Part of creating action plans is making sure that you have effective monitoring and performance tracking in place to ensure you stay focused on your goals. In the following information, you'll learn how to monitor and track your goals. Download Free: Goal Setting for Success eBook Most people that set goals can provide a reasonable idea of whether or not they are making progress in the important areas of your life. However, too often when asked "How do you track your progress?", they can't really point to a specific tool or strategy that actually measures their progress. Do you know for sure where you are on your personal and professional goals? Could you show someone how you are measuring your success? How do you track your progress? For example, a financial goal might be to manage expenses within a monthly budget. Establishing the budget is the first part of the equation, but tracking daily, weekly and month-end is key to your long-term success. "Whether in your business or in your personal life, if you do not adopt a system for success, you will suffer enormous waste." Effective leaders are consistently creating action plans that fully support a success outcome, and a critical piece of each plan is tracking. For every goal set, you need to determine what the tracking tool or mechanism will be that will allow you to regularly measure your progress. If you are reading this and feeling uneasy because you know that some areas of your life are not going in the direction you would like, then now is a great time to determine what kind of tracking will help you to turn things around. Creating Action Plans That Include Performance Tracking There are many benefits to tracking progress to goal. Less stress and anxiety; improvement in self-esteem, and increased productivity are just a few important benefits. There is a universal life law that states, "Whatever you focus on expands." By setting clear goals; creating action plans, and measuring results daily - you'll maintain your focus and move closer to your goals. How you choose to track and monitor your progress can vary. There are many helpful tools and resources available, which include: - Paper Planner - the more traditional approach (and still highly effective) to measuring progress to goals is simply taking pen to paper. Progress can be tracked on a calendar, a To-Do list, a blank sheet of paper, or some other paper product such as a checkbook register. Use paper if it works, but if it doesn't try something else that will. - Excel Worksheet - create a spreadsheet that enables you to track your progress. Goal tracking templates are available when you open the software, which makes getting started quite simple. - Goal Tracking Apps - nowadays there are terrific applications available for download on your mobile phone for just about anything. Search the Apps Store for goal tracking apps and choose the one that is right for you. If you never go anywhere without carrying your phone, then this is an easy way to ensure that you also never go anywhere without your goals. - Outsource Tracking - if you know that you will maintain the self discipline to hold yourself accountable to your goals, that invite someone else to do it for you. For example, joining a support group is a great way to keep yourself on track. You can meet other people in the process who are working on similar goals and they can become your biggest cheerleader, and you can become theirs. Regular tracking and reporting is absolutely necessary for realizing optimal results. Track your progress to goal in each of your life categories to ensure that you realize the quality results you deserve. "There are 309 million people out there that are trying to improve their lot in life. And we've got a system that allows them to do it." - Warren Buffett Success Lesson #26: System Multiplies Ability In many of the smaller businesses that have never been able to rise above mediocrity, you will find high-priced employees opening mail, sorting letters, sending out circulars, doing all sorts of work that could just as well be done by lower salaried staff. "This is the day of thinkers, of planners, of trackers." - Orison Marden Too few businessmen and women make a proper study of the economy of time and energy of their employees. The great majority of employers do not know how to project themselves into others and to multiply the powers of those around them by using a system. Men and women who lack a successful system are continually crying out for more resources, more money and more staff. The more resources they invest in, the less likely that their profits will be substantial enough to carry their business or the household forward. Misdirected, system-less work will make any endeavor ineffective. Careful planning and a simple, effective system, will assist someone with a moderate ability to accomplish extraordinary results. "The pain of the process is only temporary, but the feeling of achievement will last forever." The person with the more effective system or method is blessed with the most time. Her business and her life tend to go "according to plan" the more she invests time in creating action plan goals. Her success does not depend on always being present or standing at the helm every moment of the day. The successful person learns to duplicate herself through others who can be depended on to carry out her program. It is the deep, systematic thinker who invests time for creating action plans that hold people accountable for the actual results. This person demonstrates an executive ability to carry out each step of the plan until he succeeds.

Create, monitor, and optimize your AdWords Campaign. Let’s tackle the best practices you must implement to capitalize fully on your campaigns. For those among you that loves definitions, this is what Search Engine Marketing is all about: all the tools that Pay Per Click offers advertisers to get the most out of their paid advertising campaigns online! Establish clearly what you want to do. In setting up your Google Ads strategy, you will have to bid according to the objective you want to achieve with your advertising campaign. Google offers several bidding strategies, adapted to different types of campaigns and advertising objectives. —> Do you want to increase online sales? —> Do you want to increase website traffic? —> Do you want to increase your brand notoriety/visibility? If your goal is to get as many clicks as possible, your bid should be on a cost-per-click basis, where you only pay if a user clicks on your link. On the other hand, if you want to increase the visibility of your brand, it will be better to adopt a bidding strategy related to the impression rate you want to obtain. Google will automatically determine the amount of your bids according to your objectives, so that you can achieve them. For example, if you enter 80%, the search engine is likely to display your link first in 80% of situations where it matches the user’s query. If you rely more on the conversion rate, you’ll need to determine how much you’re willing to pay for each conversion, and Google will set your bidding to get you the highest possible conversion rate. Finally, if you’re concerned about the number of times your videos will be viewed, enter the amount you’re willing to pay for each view, which is the cost per view (CPV). By asking yourself these kinds of question, you will be able to grasp more easily the general goal(s) you want to aim for with your Google Ads campaign(s). Translate the campaign’s aim into precise, coherent, and measurable objectives, and determine how much you want to spend on them each month. Once you have clearly defined what is the general goal or set of goals you want for your campaign(s), break it into different subgoals. Each of them must be coherent, while being specific to one aspect of the larger objective, and measurable. For instance, you could state: - “My aim is to sell more than X products/services per month after a Y month period”. - “My goal is to have over Z visitors per week on my website after Y months”. - “I want W views of my ads from individuals belonging to the audience I want to target at the end of my campaigns”. That way, you will be able to establish the different key statistics you will want to track, and over which level reached by these metrics you consider your campaigns to be a success. It will also enable you to visualize what kind of conversion (aka when a specific action you want your user to perform is achieved) you want to track in the long run. Finally, it will allow you to have a glimpse at how much you will have to spend/How much you are willing to pay for your Google Ad campaign(s). When establishing your budget, remember that Google spreads ad spending monthly, but campaign overall budgets can only be set for a daily basis. This means that you must take your monthly budget for Google Ads, and then divide it by 30.4 (which is average number of days that a month has for Google). You will then have your daily overall budget! Choose the right type of campaign and bids Now that you have fixed your general goal for your campaign and coherent sub-objectives related to it, you can begin to build your own campaign. And after the language and geographic area you want to target, the first thing Google Ads will ask you is the type of campaign you want to set. Ads shown on the Google Search Network appear on the search engine results page depending whether the ad contains specific information that answers the user’s initial search intent. These are text ads whose content is consistent with the different keywords entered in the user’s query, and with a link redirecting to a specific page of a website. Google search ad campaigns are perfect for targeting customers that are looking for information about a certain type of product. If your overall strategy is done properly, you could increase the number of visitors to your site for your offering, and even the sales themselves. These ads can be of different formats such as banners of various sizes or videos. They appear on a wide network comprised of Google’ own websites, and independent affiliated websites. Their occurrence is based on different targeting methods: - The content of the current visited webpage - Remarketing to users who already visited a website Therefore, the Google Display Network uses contextual targeting that do not rely on a precise search query. It also uses ads that could be compared, in a sense, to more traditional advertising, such as advertising in newspapers, or billboards when it comes to banners. As a result, the Google Display Network is very efficient when it comes down to increasing your brand’s visibility. Choose a CPC bidding strategy if you chose to do a Google Search Ad campaign, and a CPM ad bidding strategy if you are more looking to increase the visibility of your company through a Google Display Network ad campaign. Also don’t forget to set the bidding limit for your bids realistically (i.e. at a decent level vs. the competition), to maximize as much as possible the bidding amount during the auction process, which is the first factor used by google to determine the infamous Ad Rank. Maximize the quality score of your ads Remember: The Quality Score is the other main variable that determines the Ad Rank used to attribute a position to the different ads during the bidding process. As a result, the better it is, the better your ad’s position will be. Here are below a few tips for you to have a better-quality score for your ads. Organize your campaigns by themes For example, if you are a dealer of new and used cars and want to advertise that you sell both: - Create a first campaign for brand new vehicles. - Create a second campaign for used vehicles. Subdivide each campaign into ad groups. Each of them must promote a portion of your offering. For instance, if your brand-new vehicle campaign is for a brand like Audi, each ad group could focus on just one model. As a result, your campaign could be comprised of one group: - Called “Audi A4” for the A4. - Called “Audi A5” for the A5. - Called “Audi A6” for the A6. And so forth. For each ad group, keep in mind the following: You must produce the right message at the right moment to generate the action you expect from users seeing it according to your online advertising goals. Write ads that are coherent with the theme of the ad group. For an ad group promoting the Audi A4, the ad content and call to action will have to focus on the A4 only. When it comes to picking selecting keywords: - Choose some that also belong to the general theme of the ad-group. For example, for the all-new Audi A4 ad group, “all-new Audi A4”, “new Audi A4”, “new Audi A4 sedan for sale”, or “2020 Audi A4” could be interesting keywords. - Use the Google Ads Keyword Planner, which is a precious tool to get keywords ideas for your specific ad group. - If some of your keywords/expressions trigger your ads for unwanted searches, enter them as “negative keywords”. That way, your ads will not show for these keywords. - On a more general note, choose the match rules (i.e. rules followed by your keywords to trigger or not your ads) wisely for your keywords. You will increase then their relevance for your search ads in Google’s eyes. Choose your ads’ content and execution, and your targeting method according to: - Your audience socio-demographics. - Your audience online behavior. - Your audience interests. - The content theme of websites where you plan your display ads to appear. Redirect your ad to a landing page: - Whose content answers both users’ initial search intent and the promise you made with your ad - That delivers the promised content in a way that is effortless to digest for users (ex. Fast loading times, enticing visuals, effective structuration of content, ease of navigation on the website, etc.). Monitor and optimize the performance of your ads. Various statistics can help you to see more clearly the performance of your ads. Because it is not enough to inject a significant amount of money for your advertising: you have to make sure that the ads reach their objectives and if this is not the case, you can make the necessary adjustments. Indeed, it is possible to observe certain trends or indications, following the performance analysis and test different variations of ads, targeting or create new campaigns to improve performance and obtain the expected results. As its name suggests, this statistic allows you to quickly know what fraction of users who saw your ad clicked on it; you will then know if your keywords are performing well enough or if you need to correct the situation. This statistic is available for each ad which allows you to know which ones work best and which ones need to be optimized. How many users have clicked on your ad and then performed a specific action (purchase, call, subscribe to a newsletter, etc.)? The conversion rate will tell you what percentage of users have performed an action after visiting your site. Do you want to redirect users who clicked on your ads but did not take any action afterwards? You can create a remarketing campaign on the Display Network that will target former visitors to your site to encourage them to come back and increase your conversion rate. Once your ad has been created, you will be able to add even more substance to it; and that’s where the various Google extensions will be of great help! Whether it’s geographic information, links to other pages or call to actions, this information can increase not only your click through rate, but also your conversion rate. Various extensions are available: - Location extensions - Affiliate location extensions - Callout extensions - Call extensions - Sitelink extensions - Structured snippet extensions - Price extensions - App extensions. You want to launch your campaign online? Now that you have all the tools on how to create a Google AdWords campaign, go ahead and place relevant and well-targeted ads online that respect your advertising budget! In short, it is more than pertinent to opt for a Google Ads strategy to increase your visibility on the Internet and attract new users; of course, you have to inject money to create quality and attractive ads, but think of it as an investment that will pay off in the medium and long term! Keep in mind that there are many advantages to using Google Ads: - Better visibility, - Increase in conversion rate, - Ability to target one or more user groups, If the development of a Google Ads strategy is relatively simple, the expertise of digital marketing specialists will be of great help.

A recent High Court case has reaffirmed that a lender is not under a general tortious duty to provide advice to borrowers where they have not specifically agreed to do so, writes Greg Standing, partner and head of Retail & Finance Automotive Sector Group at Gowling WLG Lenders do not owe a duty of care in contract or tort to advise borrowers of a potentially onerous clause in a loan agreement. This was recently reaffirmed by the High Court in the case of Finch v Lloyds TSB Bank PLC. The claim advanced in this case was not that advice had been sought or given and was negligent or misleading. Rather it was that, because of the close relationship between the bank and the borrower, the bank was under a contractual and tortious duty to give voluntary advice that was or might be contrary to its own commercial best interest, and had failed to do so. In Finch v Lloyds TSB, the bank and a company (B) entered into a 10-year fixed-rate loan for £11.6m (€13.7m). The claimant (as assignee of B’s cause of action) alleged the bank had owed B a duty to advise it of onerous terms in the loan agreement, and in particular that it would be liable for any break costs associated with repaying the loan early (the break cost clause) but that it had failed to do so. The claimant alleged that it was only after entering into the loan and when it sought to refinance, that the bank advised that the break costs would include costs incurred in having to break a swap agreement entered into and were likely to be in excess of £1.5m. The claimant argued B could not refinance its borrowings without borrowing those additional break costs, and as a result was unable to refinance at a lower interest rate. This ultimately meant B’s business failed and B went into administration. The claimant also alleged the bank had negligently misrepresented that the loan had been tailored to suit B’s needs. It brought claims against the bank for breach of contract, negligence and negligent misrepresentation. The court’s findings The High Court dismissed the claim. No contract to be breached The claimant alleged a breach of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 (1982 Act) s13, which implies a term that a supplier will carry out the service with reasonable skill and care. However, the claimant had not pleaded or proved any contract which imposed a duty on the bank to provide a service that included the provision of advice, and so the 1982 Act was not engaged. The bank owed no contractual duty to give advice to B on the existence or effect of the break cost clause, either under the 1982 Act or at common law generally. The court found it unarguable that a contract to advise had arisen out of the closeness of the relationship built between the parties during the loan negotiation period. The relationship between B and the bank was based on self-interest but their respective commercial interests were diametrically opposed, and B had been represented by professional advisers throughout the negotiations. No duty to advise Neither was the bank under a tortious duty to give disinterested voluntary advice that was, or might be, contrary to its commercial best interests. There is no general duty in tort for a lender to provide advice to a customer. Such an advisory duty could exist but that would be in exceptional circumstances which were markedly different to the conventional banker and customer relationship. This would be particularly so where a bank was pitching a product to a new customer and where that potential customer was represented by professional advisers. To find a tortious duty of care existed in such circumstances would go further than any of the authorities cited to the court permitted. B’s own accountants and solicitors should have advised it on the break cost clause or raised enquiries of the bank if they considered the clause uncertain. The use by the bank of the phrase ‘trusted adviser’ was made in a marketing context and was not sufficient to import a duty of care. The claim for negligent misrepresentation – that the bank would tailor a product to the needs of B’s investors but had failed to do so – also failed. The claimant failed to establish that B had intended to repay the loan early or that the bank knew that two of B’s investors wished to exit within five years. The bank had tailor-made the loan to B’s requirements to the extent those requirements had been made known to it (amount, term and inclusion of a repayment holiday) and to the extent the bank, in its commercial judgment, was prepared to do so. The bank was not required to offer facilities on terms that subordinated its commercial interests to those of B and its investors. This is a helpful judgment to banks and other financial entities. It confirms that a lender is not under a general tortious duty to provide advice to borrowers where they have not specifically agreed to do so. In the absence of any express regulatory obligations, lenders and other financial entities are unlikely to be liable to their customers for failing to ensure that the customer understands the product it is buying. If a lender does however provide advice, then it must do so with reasonable care and skill. If there are unusual terms or features in an agreement, then although a lender may not be obliged to draw them to the borrower’s attention, it might be best practice to do so or advise that independent legal advice is obtained.<

Sheldon Adelson Calls For More Casinos in Macau, Despite Declining Revenues At at news conference in New York City on Wednesday, Las Vegas Sands chairman Sheldon Adelson spoke about the collapsing market in China. In the midst of a press conference, he was asked about Macau’s falling revenues. His reply received heavy criticism from financial publications, including Business Insider’s Linette Lopez. Ms. Lopez, who works as an adjunct professor at Columbia University in New York City, wrote an article about Adelson titled “In 5 Words the World’s Most Powerful Sasino Mogul Showed He’s Living a Macau Delusion”. For those who like to cut to the chase, those five words were: “Supply will create the demand.” One can understand why Mr. Adelson said those words. He has a casino construction project in the works in Macau. Bankers and investors are behind that project and Adelson has to keep his supporters believing in his vision of the future. But it ignores the basic facts which exist in Macau at present. Xi Jinping’s Initiatives Chinese President Xi Jinping paid a visit to Macau in December 2014. At the time, he ominously called for Macau to change its economic focus. The words were clear: end the ties to organized crime and prostitution. Clean up your act, get rid of the VIP rooms, and try to become more like Las Vegas. That is what Macau’s officials began to do in January 2015. That month, they instituted a smoking ban in the city’s casinos. Naturally, they are pushing for a Las Vegas Strip style experience for the mass market gamblers and high rollers alike. That means more shows and dining experiences. Las Vegas Strip generates more revenues from non-gaming ventures these days than it does from the casino gaming floors. Sheldon Adelson’s Argument Yet Sheldon Adelson continues to insist more casinos need to be built. If the casinos exist, gamblers from China and the wider Asian gaming market will continue to flock to the area. Let’s analyze whether that is the case, first by looking at Adelson’s wider theory, and then by looking at the case of Macau in specific. Sheldon Adelson is a smart man. His business plans rest on an economic bedrock, but does that bedrock extend all the way to Macau? Supply will create the demand. This is the argument those who prefer supply-side economics always make. As the argument goes, the investor class needs extra money to invest in the economy. These investments might manifest as an entrepreneur investing time and money into a new enterprise. It might manifest as a bank president extending a loan to that potential startup business. It might manifest as a Wall Street stock broker, hedge fund manager, or average investor investing in stocks and bonds. Whatever the case, the idea is this: give people money to invest and jobs and they will drive the economy. Build it and they will come. Ronald Reagan called it trickle-down economics or Reaganomics. George Herbert Walker Bush, who was Reagan’s opponent in the 1980 Republican presidential primaries and later his vice president, termed it “voodoo economics“–then went on to become an exemplar of the philosophy. Supply-side economists tend to call for less government regulation of the financial, manufacturing, and retail industries. They call for lower taxes, especially for corporations and small business owners. If they get more money, it trickles down to the middle and lower classes. Those who fall on the other side of the argument says the trickle is too little. They argue that supply-side economics is elitist and unfair. More important, they say it is wrongheaded. A demand-side economist says that, if you give money to people who already have a surplus, some of it gets invested, but much of its gets hoarded in savings. That money is taken out of the economy, kept through conservatism and greed from doing any active good for the United States. Instead, these people argue you should give a bigger slice of the pie to the consumers. If the middle and lower economic classes have more money, they immediately spend that money. Sure, a small percentage will squirrel that extra cash into their savings. Most are living paycheck-to-paycheck, so that money ends up being spent at Wal-Mart, Target, and Costco. A much larger percentage ends up in the economy and, incidentally, in the hands of the corporations and small businesses which the supply-siders would have funded. There are counter-arguments, of course. Supply-side economists would argue that the money does go to corporations and small businesses, but that still leaves out the entrepreneurial startups. Thus, the economy cannot grow, because new businesses don’t get off the ground. As you can see, these can be circular arguments with point-and-counterpart. The debate has raged for 80 years, since John Maynard Keynes first began to champion supply-side economics during the Great Depression. Sheldon Adelson’s Chinese Dreams Sheldon Adelson obviously fits on the supply-side of things. He says, “Supply will create the demand.” That might (emphasis on “might”) work in the United States. In China, it simply does not work that way, and here’s why. Chinese officials in Beijing have let it be known they are cracking down on visits to Macau from the mainland. Simply put, the Chinese party members and local Macau officials are working to limit the number of visits anyone can make to Macau. Visas are being tracked. Those who try to circumvent the rules are spotted and their names are recorded. Thus, VIP gamblers are staying home in droves. It is dangerous to try to get around the restrictions, in a way it simply would not be in the United States. Demand in an Authoritarian Regime Supply will not create demand, because the demand is being interdicted by the Chinese government. They do not want their people gamble as much in Macau as they once allowed, and it simply is not going to happen anytime in the near-future. Building more casinos does nothing to change those facts. The only hope casino moguls in the middle of billion-dollar projects in Macau–such as Sheldon Adelson, Steve Wynn, and James Murren–is to lure more non-Chinese VIP players to Macau. If players from Japan and South Korea and Singapore flock to Macau in great numbers, maybe that will fill up the new casinos. But Sheldon Adelson and James Murren just sent representatives to Japan to tell lawmakers there that foreignors-only casinos would never work in Japan–they wouldn’t be worth the investment. In the end, the current Macau casino developments headed by Las Vegas Sands, Wynn Resorts, and MGM Resorts are doomed to failure. Perhaps by the time those casinos launch in 2017, 2018, and later, the Chinese government will have loosened it grip on passports to Macau. Given that Xi Jinping has many years still in office, that is not likely to happen, though.

There is no question that a bankruptcy filing – either under Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 – can provide relief from creditor harassment. Bankruptcy can prevent garnishments , foreclosures, repossessions and collection calls. However, some individuals may find that their bankruptcy options are limited, or even unavailable, due to mistakes or omissions that have occurred in the months or years leading up to the consideration of bankruptcy. This list identifies some of the common issues which may confront a consumer who is considering filing for bankruptcy: 1) Failure to file state and federal income tax returns. You must be up to date in your income tax filings to file a bankruptcy, and you will be required to provide copies of recent tax returns to the trustee in your case. This is problematic for several reasons. A bankruptcy attorney cannot provide sound guidance, as the amount of tax debt that will be owed may affect the type of bankruptcy that you can file, or could make your Chapter 13 payment prohibitive. In addition, unfiled tax returns may prevent the filing of a bankruptcy in an emergency situation, such as a foreclosure or repossession. The requirement only requires that the returns be filed, and not paid, so don’t overlook the filing of your returns simply because there may not be income available to pay the taxes. 2) Failure to pay child support or alimony. While not as much of an issue in a Chapter 7 case, child support and alimony arrearages can affect the feasibility of a Chapter 13 case. These debts are priority debts, and must be paid in full through a Chapter 13 case. Unfortunately, the term of a Chapter 13 repayment plan cannot extend beyond 5 years, and some individuals with significant arrearages may not be able to afford to pay those arrearages in that amount of time. 3) Failure to maintain full coverage insurance on automobiles that are under lien. If you have a loan that is secured by a motor vehicle, the loan agreement will probably require that you carry full coverage insurance which names the lender as the “loss payee”. This means that in the event the vehicle is totaled, the lender will be paid first. If you are trying to protect a vehicle from repossession by filing for bankruptcy, you will have to provide proof to the lender that full coverage insurance is in place. 4) Failure to maintain business records. For individuals who are self-employed, there is an expectation that they will have sufficient business records to document income, expenses, and assets. This would include tax returns, insurance information and bank records. A complete absence of any of this information could jeopardize your ability to receive a discharge. 5) Failure to report all sources of income. Many times this goes hand-in-hand with failure to file income tax returns, but there are instances where the returns have been filed timely, but not all income was disclosed. Most bankruptcy attorneys will be wary of filing a bankruptcy for a consumer that lists income which may not have been disclosed in previous tax filings. 6) Filing multiple bankruptcies. There are limitations on the time period in which successive bankruptcies can be filed. For instance, a consumer cannot receive a discharge in a Chapter 7 case if they have received a discharge in a prior bankruptcy filed within 8 years. Or an individual who has filed multiple unsuccessful Chapter 13 cases may be limited in their ability to prevent a foreclosure or repossession. For this reason, it is extremely important to let your bankruptcy attorney know if you have filed any previous bankruptcy cases, regardless of their outcome. Most of this information may seem like common sense. At the same time, most bankruptcy attorneys are aware that lack of income not only contributes to the need for bankruptcy, but also the failure to do things like file tax returns, maintain insurance and/or pay child support. But the important thing to keep in mind is that those decisions may have severe long-term consequences which far outweigh the perceived short term benefits.

Taking Things Back Offline to Introduce the King of TVs With one of the most aggressive vaccination campaigns on Earth, Israel has demonstrated the efficacy of the coronavirus vaccine as the country nears herd immunity. With the light emerging at the end of the tunnel for Israelis, LG in Israel saw an opportune moment to celebrate the citizenry’s efforts and the country’s cautious emergence from the darkness of the pandemic. So with lockdown restrictions eased and more people returning to life as it used to be, LG Israel felt it was the perfect time for a real live event to celebrate the local launch of LG’s 2021 TV lineup. In cooperation with its exclusive home entertainment product distributor, H.Y.E. Group, LG Israel last month invited 1,100 special guests to see the newest LG TVs in all their vibrant glory. Under the theme of LG OLED: The King of TVs, the venue showcased the complete lineup of LG’s newest OLED TVs – LG OLED G1, C1, B1 and A1 – as well as some of the company’s NanoCell and QNED MiniLED TV models. Here, the special guests could see for themselves the just how much better LG’s OLED technology is across various TV sizes, because sometimes you just have to see to believe. As a part of the LG’s Light Up Your World campaign, the large space was separated into four distinct zones representing key TV segments: sports, cinema, design and gaming. Each interactive area was faithfully designed to emphasize the various elements and unique values the impressive TVs have to offer every kind of viewer. With food and drinks galore, attendees sang passionately along during the concert of popular Israeli singer Itay Levi taking to the stage to make it an even more memorable night to remember. As one of the region’s first major offline events in more than a year, the electricity in the atmosphere was palpable. Israelis who had been patiently waiting for the end of social distancing were finally able to release all their pent-up energies in one fell swoop. And they had good reason to be hopeful. With one of the highest vaccination rates in the world, Israelis had good reason to start enjoying life again. In the meanwhile, LG will continue to pursue unique and safe ways to introduce its innovative products to consumers around the globe. Contributed by LG Israel # # #

UV Energy Meter | Color Curing Technology of Pigments The color curing technology of pigments can help people solve the problem of color printing and dyeing, which cannot do without the huge role of ultraviolet rays. In general, the UV energy meter can detect the intensity and energy of ultraviolet rays. The world we live in is colorful. Complex colors are inseparable from the blending of pigments and printing and dyeing. In most cases, the ordinary three primary colors can no longer meet the basic public needs. With the development of technology, UV curing has gradually replaced the traditional technology. UV curing is also known as ultraviolet curing. Using an UV energy meter can effectively detect the intensity and energy of ultraviolet rays. In theory, the absorption capacity of light by different colors is very different. Often dull colors will have a strong ability to absorb light, while lighter colors are more likely to reflect light. It is precisely for the application of this physical property and the development of the UV energy meter that scientific and technological personnel have developed UV curing technology. UV curing technology uses the different wavelength bands possessed by ultraviolet rays, which can be absorbed by different colors. In addition, our well-known UV curing technology has not only appeared in the pigment curing industry, but also has been applied in ink, paint, furniture manufacturing and other industries. UV curing agent is a substance that can change small molecules into large molecules, which can significantly improve the quality of printed products, make the finished products more delicate and beautiful. Generally speaking, UV curing technology can make the curing of pigment colors more clean and neat, which greatly avoids the problems of ghosting and blurring. The UV curing technology in the professional field requires the use of specific wavelengths of ultraviolet light. Only by using an UV energy meter can this value be truly accurate. The role of UV energy meter is specifically to help people quantify the ultraviolet energy and control the energy of the ultraviolet lamp in the required range. It can also stabilize the light intensity, so that the ultraviolet radiation has a certain stability, thereby ensuring the smoothness of printed products. The unit of UV energy meter for measuring light source equipment is nanometer level, which is very accurate. In many printing and dyeing industries, we use different materials in the actual operation of pigment colors. Take titanium dioxide as an example. The ultraviolet band it absorbs is about 380nm (basically the band that can reflect all energy), which can be quickly and efficiently penetrate the layer to reach the bottom. Some UV lamps do not reach the standard due to light intensity. The thickness of the ink is too thick to reach the bottom smoothly. The finished product will be ghosted or lack basic definition. This kind of UV lamp requires technicians to use UV energy meter to detect and eliminate it in time. Different types of UV energy meters play a very different role. Some are dedicated to the detection of LED lamps and some are dedicated to the detection of high-pressure mercury lamps. As a low-cost and long-life light source device, LED lamp has become the light source used by most production industries. The LS128 UV energy meter developed by Linshang Technology can detect the ultraviolet energy of LED lights. In addition to this, this UV energy meter is very small and delicate, with high sensitivity during measurement, which is very suitable for industrial self-test. - UV Dosimeter and UV Curing Coating - Ultraviolet Energy Meter-Lithography Curing Lamp Inspection - Difference between Four Portable Tint Meters - Factors Affecting the Accuracy of the Galvanized Coating Thickness Gauge - UV LED Energy Meter LS128 Dedicated to UV LED Detection - How to Operate LS192 Glarimeter Glossmeter？

ispace, a Tokyo based lunar exploration company, develops small, lightweight landers and rovers that will be used to explore the surface of the Moon. ispace Europe, based in Luxembourg, has partnered with LIST, specifically with the team of the Advanced Instrumentation for Ion Nano-Analytics (AINA) group, to develop an innovative mass spectrometer for lunar resources elementary analysis. This compact instrument will be specifically designed to measure selected elements and molecules such as hydrogen, oxygen, and water. The very important feature of this mass spectrometer will be its capability to capture simultaneously a wide range of mass spectrum, provided that it is equipped with an appropriate detection system wit a high performance focal plane detector. Such a 1D focal plane detector fulfilling the requirements is currently not existing and hence is targeted in this project. In FOCAL1DS, a space deployable high performance 1D focal plane detector for a compact magnetic sector mass spectrometer will be developed by LIST to be further integrated in ispace’s rover. This development will be based on the multichannel plate (MCP) technology combined with the Delay-line (DL) anode readout. Significant improvements in terms of detector’s performance, including an enhancement of the local count rate (>106 cps) and local dynamic range (106) are targeted to optimize the performance and flexibility of the mass spectrometry technology. LIST and ispace will take benefits from their individual expertise and potential synergies to integrate the newly developed mass spectrometer into ispace’s rover for testing in relevant space environment. The developed mass spectrometer, with the new 1D focal plane detector as a key component, will aim to perform the unambiguous and in-situ measurement of water on the Moon. The detection and characterization of water should be the first milestone towards commercial water ISRU (In Situ Resource Utilization) on the Moon. The technology will further evolve in view of subsequent lunar missions to perform characterization of other molecules, elements and isotopes. Furthermore, the impact of this project will not be limited to space applications. Successful development of the proposed detector technology will allow LIST to improve other instruments dedicated to high performance nano-analytics.

With so many varieties of foods available these days, it is obvious that we want to eat all these foods. For the sake of a healthy lifestyle, both men as well as women must choose their food accordingly. These are the certain foods that every man must avoid for his health to be good. Must avoid soy products: Not many know that soy foods have phytoestrogens or estrogen like compounds in them. It must be noted that these compounds come from the plants. If we eat high amounts of phytoestrogens then it could harm our health as there would be hormonal imbalance. Research studies have found that intake of phytoestrogens could reduce the sperm concentration in men. There is also enough evidence that shows how the high intake of soy products could lead to issues in the testosterone levels in men. Must avoid foods containing trans - fats: It is well known that the intake of trans- fats are considered unhealthy for men and women. Many fried, packed processed foods have high amounts of trans-fats in them. These trans-fats could increase the risk of heart diseases. It has been brought to light by a research study in the year 2011 that intake of trans-fats could lead to decreased sperm counts in men. Must avoid processed meats: Hot dogs, bacon, salami etc are some of the examples of processed foods. Men who ate these processed foods excessively had low sperm count in them. There is no evidence that shows low sperm count because of consuming chicken. Must avoid high fat dairy products: A research study was conducted on males from the age 18 to 22 and it was found that high fat dairy products such as cheese, cream, whole milk etc were linked to decreased sperm mobility. It is said that this could be due to steroids given to the cows.

Experts list seven thoughts that may affect your log home kitchen planning. - The use of furring strips to attach cabinets to the log walls can protrude into the room by as much as two inches. This will cut into the allotted space needed between countertops. Find out how your cabinets will be attached. - Your cabinet installer should be reputable and should be aware of the possible settling of the log walls, which may affect the hanging cabinets. Various methods of attachment can be considered according to the cabinet manufacturer. Also, make sure the cabinet company or installer will be around in the next six months to make any adjustments that may be required. If a home settles, cabinet doors can become out of alignment and have trouble staying closed. - Log walls can only be cut once. So in the kitchen, the builder needs to pay close attention to the cutting of the window above the sink. It should be high enough to clear the counter with a possible 4-inch backsplash. Better to cut smaller rather than larger. - Consider a separate multi-tasking desk/counter area as a central location for mail, phone charging, and or even a laptop, along with a bulletin board for event reminders. This can be considered a satellite station for the main office of your home, and is a lot handier. Word of caution: Keep this space organized or it can become a dumping ground for all loose ends that come into the home. - Consider the use of drywall in the log home kitchen. Many log homeowners still choose drywall for their kitchen walls. Reasons include wanting a surface to paint and add color to the room, creating a flat surface for applying cabinets or a tile backsplash, and a need to break away from too much wood. Some also choose stucco or brick as a backdrop. - Don’t be afraid to add color in a log home kitchen. Color helps create an identity for the kitchen separate from the rest of the home. Adding color to the cabinets, window treatments, counters, tiles, and flooring can help. - If you like to host big groups, think about adding a second, smaller kitchen to a walkout basement or bonus room for extended family or guests. This gives them space for making meals early in the morning or late at night. It can be something as simple as a mini-refrigerator, small oven capable of handling a couple of pizzas, a sink, and a microwave.

In 2022, casinos will be looking to expand their use of artificial intelligence to keep up with the competition and stay one step ahead. Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality Virtual reality is a topic that was popularized in the 1990s but never became widespread. However, with the advent of new technologies, technology is making a comeback. In 2022, virtual reality will become one of the most popular forms of entertainment and will influence online casino gaming. Augmented reality (AR) is another technology that has gained popularity and is likely to define the gambling market in 2022. Like virtual reality, augmented reality provides an immersive and authentic gaming experience. Tighter Controls on Irresponsible Gambling Gambling is a multi-billion-dollar business. Although casino gambling revenues are steadily increasing every year, the industry is not without controversy. One of the most pressing problems is irresponsible gamblers who lose their savings and end up in debt as a result. To control this, some casinos have introduced responsible gambling measures, such as self-exclusion programs, which allow people to restrict themselves from entering casinos or participating in any form of gambling activity for a certain period. Players can expect casinos to tighten controls on irresponsible gambling behavior in 2022.

As the first mission-driven real estate company pairing the most talented agents with a cloud-based solution to help everyone find their place in the world, Compass counts the ability to move fast, being solutions-driven, and maximizing one’s strengths as its core values. That explains why, when their litigation team found itself slammed with a large volume of subpoenas and litigation matters — the majority of which were handled by outside counsel — they turned to another mission-built, cloud-based solution to develop a streamlined approach that has empowered them to move 9X faster and save thousands of dollars per matter. We cover Compass’ success story in a case study released today. Compass’ new approach to subpoena responses and small litigation matters, where the company’s litigation team conducts the entire discovery process internally — from collecting directly from Google Vault to generating professional-looking productions —, has yielded: - 8,875 hours saved on unnecessary requests to IT for data collection from cloud sources and on reviewing hundreds of PST files one by one, which means a 90% reduction in subpoena response timelines. - A 95% reduction in the team's reliance on outside counsel. Their collaboration with OC is now restricted to large litigation matters. - Thousands of dollars saved per year on external legal spend as most matters and subpoenas are handled internally. - A more secure and streamlined discovery process as all the data is kept in Logikcull from ingestion to production. “After I was able to handle that massive subpoena by myself, I realized we had to make Logikcull a core piece of our software stack.” - Terence Leong, Senior Counsel, Litigation at Compass Reducing Subpoena Response Time by 90% When Terence Leong joined Compass two years ago as the company’s first in-house litigator, he became responsible for all discovery matters, both in the context of litigation, as well as for subpoena responses. His discovery process back then involved: - Sending a request to IT every time he needed to collect data from Google Vault or any other source - Waiting for a minimum of two weeks for the PST file - Spending a few more hours analyzing all the documents one by one - And generating a semi-professional-looking production using Adobe With such a time- and resource-intensive process, most matters landed with outside counsel, who would either use their own eDiscovery tools or outsource the data processing to a Relativity vendor. But once the team realized the impact that seeking external assistance for even the smallest litigation matters and subpoenas was having on their budget, they understood that something had to change. The team decided to deploy Logikcull to handle subpoenas and some litigation matters internally. Its powerful simplicity was all they needed to gain full control over the discovery process. Leong turned Logikcull into a one-stop shop for all his discovery needs: He would collect data all by himself using Logikcull’s Google Vault integration, he’d parse and review all his documents, and he’d create productions with just a few clicks. Compass’s litigation team now has the bandwidth to handle discovery for any matter end to end in just five hours on average, which means a 90% reduction in their subpoena response and other litigation timelines. “The Google Vault connection is second to none in terms of ease and getting things done. We don’t need to rely on IT at all now. We run the collections entirely from the litigation department.” - Terence Leong, Senior Counsel, Litigation at Compass Reducing Outside Counsel Costs While Collaborating on Their Own Terms By handling most subpoenas and small matters internally, the team has been able to reduce its reliance on outside counsel by 95%. And, for those matters that require OC intervention, they establish very specific conditions to collaborate with them. For example, they’ve banned the use of Relativity as they estimated that the maintenance of their databases would cost them the same as a yearly subscription to Logikcull — even for data previously culled by their in-house team. Instead, they require outside counsel to conduct the document review within Logikcull, where the team has visibility into their activities and can stay aligned with them at all times. By bringing the discovery process in-house, not only has Compass’ litigation team significantly reduced their external legal spend, but they’ve also become more agile and independent while cementing their reputation as an innovative and resourceful group that matches the company’s philosophy.

The History of Loreto Loreto College was founded in St Albans in 1922 by members of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The IBVM is a religious order of women founded by a Yorkshire woman, Mary Ward, in the seventeenth century, for the “care of the faith” of Catholics in England. Since 1609, Mary Ward’s Institute has spread all over the world: Loreto schools are to be found in England, Wales, Ireland, Gibraltar, Spain, Australia, Africa, including South Africa, Mauritius, India, South America, Canada and the U.S.A. For more details on the Loreto network, click here. The order’s most famous teacher is Mother Teresa, canonized in September 2016, who taught religious Studies and Geography at the Loreto Convent in Calcutta for 15 years before being appointed its Principal. For more on her life and her connection to Loreto, click here. When Loreto College opened in St Albans, it was the first school to provide a secondary education for local girls. Since then it has made a considerable contribution to Catholic education in the city and surrounding areas. It has changed character several times over the years, in 1978 becoming a comprehensive school for girls, with an open Sixth Form. The School Chapel The site is a pleasant mix of old and new buildings set in landscaped gardens of considerable interest. The school was initially established in a townhouse known as ‘The Elms’, which now forms part of the Teresa Ball Building. In recognition of this, as part of our centenary celebrations, our Sixth Form Centre has been renamed The Elms. St Joseph’s, now housing the Psychology and Modern Foreign Languages departments, is a large house bought in 1923 from Samuel Ryder, the seed merchant, founder of the Ryder Cup, and former mayor of St Albans. The 1930s saw the building of the Chapel and what are now the Library and the History, Geography, and C.D.T. department areas. In 1959 the Main Teaching Block was added and this now provides facilities for Science, Mathematics, ICT and Textiles. A new block was built in 1969 for the Canteen and dining room, with a further Science Lab and Food Technology room above. More recently the Music and Art departments and two further Science Labs were added. The main Administration area was built in 1981. The school has since taken over what was the Convent, and this now houses staff offices, the NVQ and Sixth Form areas and Classics department. More recent additions include a purpose built gymnasium, erected in 2000, and the opening of Hurstlea in September 2002: this now houses the Religious Education and Learning Support departments. In September 2009, the Mary Ward building was opened. This stands on the footprint of Landau and Fontainebleau mobile buildings and houses the English Department. The Mary Ward Building The buildings themselves thus reflect the steady development of the school over the course of more than one hundred years, from its original seven pupils in 1922 to the current average of just under 1000. With an adjoining hockey pitch, and courts for tennis and netball, the school provides an attractive environment for both study and recreation. Mother Teresa & Loreto 20th Sept 2016 – Everyone will be aware that Mother Teresa was canonized at the start of this month. This brought particular joy to the Loreto sisters as they celebrated the achievements of this incredible woman who originally joined the Loreto convent in Dublin in 1928. From there she was sent to Calcutta in 1929. After her Profession of Vows was missioned to Loreto Convent Entally (in Calcutta), she taught Religious Studies and Geography there for fifteen years before being appointed Principal. Mother Teresa as a Loreto nun in India. On a train journey to Darjeeling in September 1946, Mother Teresa heard the voice of God telling her to go out into the slums of Calcutta to serve him by tending to the poorest of the poor. She left the Loreto sisters and formed her own order, The Missionaries of Charity. Pope Francis has declared that St Teresa defended the unborn, sick and abandoned, and shamed world leaders for the “crimes of poverty they themselves created”. Her life reflects the type of Church that Pope Francis is keen to build: one that shows mercy to all and offers practical help for all those in need, especially the poor. Mother Teresa’s ties and friendship with the Loreto order remained strong, and she frequently visited Loreto communities, particularly in Calcutta. Many of the orphaned babies she rescued subsequently attended the Loreto school where Mother Teresa herself had taught. On the 150th anniversary of Loreto’s foundation in India, Mother Teresa wrote that “Although now I am a Missionary of Charity, deep down that Loreto joy is still there. Nothing can separate me from the love and gratitude I have for Loreto; what I have received will never be forgotten.” After her death in 1997, Mother Teresa was buried in the Loreto convent Chapel in Calcutta. People who knew her during her years in Loreto found her a pleasant, happy woman with a good sense of humour. She was enthusiastic and diligent, but more than anything she was a woman of deep faith and prayer, and she remains a source of inspiration to us all. More on Mother Teresa’s connections with the Loreto Order can be read here.

During National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), I post about writing issues, rather than my typical posting on science, natural disasters, and emergency preparation. “You're so talented as a writer.” I hear this from time to time in emails, and before you think this is just bragging and quit reading this article before this sentence ends, let me assure you, I am NOT talented. And neither is any other novelist. That's because writing isn't a talent. Language is learned. Writing skill is learned. No two-year-old child sits down and pens a perfectly structured screenplay or novel, proving to me it’s not an innate skill. In the past five years there have been a number of articles and books written on the concept of how much work it takes to get to achieve competence in a field. There's the 10,000 rule, popularized by Malcolm Gladwell . There's Ericsson’s concept of deliberate practice and his book, Peak, which also debunks the concept of “innate talent.” Before that, SF writer David Gerrold reminded us that it takes a million words of practicing fiction writing before we'll write a novel anyone will want to read. A lot of people think they want to write a book, but they don't understand that they'll probably have to write three to five bad ones (or a hundred bad short stories) before they can write a decent one, and three decent ones before they write a good one. It takes years of work to achieve skill, and some of those years are frustrating. Few people seem to be able to stick through them. I don't know why I was, why I was willing to sink 25,000 hours into learning the craft and the business when it rewarded me hardly at all, before indie publishing and my lovely readers gave me the chance to be a full-time writer. Beyond having parents who worked hard at jobs and community service and provided excellent role models without ever lecturing us on the topic, I believe that people like me are congenitally stubborn. We don't quit because we're a little mad. We bang our heads against the brick wall until we see cracks in the mortar. Or we just bang our heads until we die. Before 10,000 hours was a catchphrase and before Ericsson’s research, in 1989 western novelist Jack Bickham wrote, “Talent is something people attribute to a successful person after years of hard, hidden, agonizing work.” Amen to that. So thank you for the “talent” compliment, and I'm not a complete ingrate; I did take it how you intended it. But I hope you forgive me if I correct you: if you like my novels: I’m not talented. Talent would be a fairy godmother hitting me on the head with a wand. Skill is earned. I put in my hours, and if I have any skill to speak of, effort built it. And this is good news to beginning writers struggling to figure out how to make it all come together. It means with enough effort, you can become skilled, too.

On Monday (July 3), a video appeared on social media that saw a host representing 856 Entertainment asking various women if they would take a meeting with Yung Joc over a $50 Amazon gift card. As seen in the edited clip, the majority of those asked chose the latter. Every woman who was asked the question in the clip opted for the $50 gift card rather than the opportunity to hang out with Yung Joc. One woman even explained the potential benefits of the gift card over the latter option. “The $50 because you know what I can get off of Amazon for $50?” she asked. “I can get a couple of things. Nice little mirror, nice little dresser.” At the end of the video, one man bucked the trend by choosing a sit-down with the Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta star, and even did the viral dance from his classic 2006 video, “It’s Goin’ Down.” While the comments section was filled with tons of banter, Yung Joc commented on the video and elaborated in detail about his disdain for the question itself and the people who answered it. “Y’all would have no choice cause I wouldn’t fuck with not one of them in the first place,” he wrote. “1. I’m happily married 2. That shit [cap emoji] 3. He never said have sex with me he just said 30 min with me and y’all would get at least $300 worth of food and shots if I did allow y’all in my immediate vicinity [crying laughing emojis]. “4. I ain’t never had a problem getting no woman lol 5. I would give y’all $100 Amazon gift card to stay the fvxk over there [red heart emoji].” Yung Joc’s reaction was slightly more tame than that of Soulja Boy, who was subjected to the same humiliation of New Jersey folks choosing between $250 in food stamps and dinner with him in March. The majority of the women in that video opted for the food stamps, with some even explaining their decision in brutally honest fashion. “I’ma pick the food stamps only because Soulja Boy is a nobody. I can have dinner by myself,” one woman answered. Another said: “Give me the food stamps. I can make chicken alfredo.”

As you begin interviewing moving companies, there are many of points to cover before you retain the services of any one mover. For instance, discuss insurance with each of the moving companies you interview. Each companies must carry cargo insurance, so there’s some coverage, but see if your homeowners insurance covers movers and packers handling your belongings. If you’re hiring long distance movers, they need to have appropriate insurance for crossing state lines. They ought to also be bonded to cover accidents during the handling of your things through the moving and storage service. In case a moving company doesn’t deem it necessary to visit your house before issuing moving quotes, choose another mover. Nothing can be as accurate as an in home moving quote. The movers and packers have to see exactly what sort of furniture and accessories you have. When you’re discussing your moving and storage needs with the business, it is critical to include very specific details. For example, if the movers get there and realize you’ve got a water bed that must definitely be drained before moving and storage, it will throw their schedule off and create a problem for you and the business. You’ll experience the same problem if the movers and packers reach your house and discover that they need a piano mover. Look at your valuables, too, because home movers are been trained in the best techniques to preserve breakables and collectibles so the movers and packers won’t break them. Don’t allow any movers and packers touch your things and soon you have a signed contract in your hand. Unless you have an agreement on paper, the company is not responsible for it. Moving from New York to California should have written moving quotes from the movers, outlining every service they will provide, from moving and packing to moving and storage. You don’t want any nasty surprises if it is time and energy to pay your mover, and discover that the moving company charged extra for that vintage sofa. Just remember, no reputable moving company will provide you with moving quotes lacking any onsite survey. Local movers will need to see each item of furniture so they can estimate the weight and bulk for the house movers to lift and carry. Long distance movers will have to do the same, and add the fact that moving and storage may cross state lines. While local movers may charge by the hour, long distance movers will charge by the pound. So, it’s wise before hiring a moving company to completely clean out anything you don’t necessarily want movers and packers to bother with. Have a garage sale before your house movers show up, in order that you’re not paying a mover to transport something you’ll just dispose of once you’re at your brand-new home. The movers and packers will in actuality pack your belonging for you, if you choose the service from the moving company. This type of door to door service is great, especially if the moving quotes are affordable.

Perhaps you are one of those retailers who frowns when people enter their store looking for stuff to buy. Maybe you find customers touching all the nice stuff in your shop rude. And let’s not even talk of those troublesome people who want to take your stuff home with them! If you recognize yourself in this description, here are nine useful tips to get rid of those pesky want-to-buy-everything customers, and make sure they never visit your store again. 1. Get some pushy salespeople We have all been in the kind of store where the sales assistant stays almost super-glued to our back, enthusiastically commenting “Oh, this would look so good on you!!” every. Single. Time we touch anything. Hire pushy and nosy staff and you will have customers running out of your store as fast as possible. Bonus points if your sales associates enter the changing room while the customer is trying on clothes chirping “So, how does it look?” 2. Keep your salespeople too busy to help anyone It doesn’t matter if they are engaged with other customers or chatting to each other; no one will wait more than a few minutes for an employee to help them find a shirt in a different size or assist them at the fitting rooms. Let customers who need help wait unattended, and sooner or later they will abandon the item – and your premises. 3. Have tiny fitting rooms There are four key elements to a pleasant fitting room: enough space for people to undress and move comfortably; some hangers and a stool or shelf to hang clothes and handbag; a flattering light; a door or curtain that closes well and gives privacy. If you dislike your customers and want them to try on as few items of clothing as possible, make sure you have: changing rooms reminiscent of vertical coffins, where they won’t be able to take off a jacket without banging their elbows; no hangers – they can put their stuff on the floor (which should be covered with dust bunnies); a fluorescent, non-flattering light; a flimsy curtain that barely covers half the cubicle. 4. Say no to organization Do not organize your items by color, size or style. Showcase products without a logic – a few robes with the t-shirts, a few next to the scarves. Customers will get confused and overwhelmed, and will give up looking for something to their taste. When you are running a sale, don’t ever organize the items by size: force people to go through all your stock before they find something that might fit them. Bonus points if all the items you have left are in size XS – but you don’t tell your customers, and let them look for 20 minutes for a size L in vain. 5. Play repetitive, loud music For some, shopping is a stressful affair. Make it even more unpleasant by choosing repetitive, unpleasant music, and playing it very loud. Pleasant music at a not-too-high volume encourages people to stay longer in your store and spend more, research says; by playing an ear-splitting version of “The crazy frog” or something equally irritating, you will have them out of your store before you can say “Bye”. 6. Let lines grow long Long lines annoy everyone. There are three tricks to let your lines at the register grow longer and longer: Hire too few staff Use an outdated management system - even better, a bunch of outdated system strewn together: system breakdowns, mistakes and delays are guaranteed. Don’t use a mobile POS: if staff is able to assist customers on the spot, you will have no queue left! One-third of customers abandons the checkout line after five minutes’ wait. Use these tricks and you will have a lot of customers running away empty-handed! 7. Offer lots of physical loyalty cards Offer a loyalty card which can be used for accessories only; one for the children collection; one for men’s clothes only… the more loyalty cards you create, the more inconvenient it will be for the customer to find the right one at checkout. 59 percent of consumers would rather join a loyalty program that offers a digital app than a physical card. If you want to alienate your customers and keep them from participating in your loyalty program, go for physical cards, and do not offer an app. 8. Carry different items in the online and physical stores Most customers look up items online before buying. Annoy them thoroughly by carrying different items in-store and on the e-commerce, and don’t tell them! Bonus points if the website says “available in store” next to the product – but doesn’t specify which store. 9. Open your store in a dead zone The “chelfie” is trending big right now, so to keep your customers from promoting you for free on Instagram and Snapchat, make sure that there is no mobile network coverage or Wi-Fi in your store. This will keep you from being visible to potential customers, I promise. Follow these easy pieces of advice and you will get rid of all your customers in no time. Then you will finally be able to have your store all to yourself, and enjoy the silence. Stop thinking "I'm doing well enough", embrace the future of retail Boost revenue, gain a competitive edge, and drive return visits with a successful omni-channel strategy for your retail store. Find out how.

Receiving a Traffic Ticket or being arrested for a DUI in Las Vegas can be a stressful & costly ordeal. Failure to address your charges in a timely manner may result in the issuance of a warrant for your arrest, suspension or revocation of your driver’s license, higher insurance premiums, additional court appearances, & possible jail time. After receiving a Traffic Ticket for a moving or non-moving violation, you have three options: - Pay the stated fine - Represent yourself in court - Hire an attorney If you choose to pay the stated fine, this is generally taken by the courts as a ‘Guilty’ plea, and any points involved will appear on your record with the Department of Motor Vehicles. Your insurance company will also be notified. If you decide to address the ticket yourself in court, you are likely to spend hours waiting in line downtown on a work day. Depending on the court, your first appearance may only be to meet with the court’s clerk to schedule your official trial date. Then you must re-appear at a later date for your trial. Note: even after this hassle, you may still be ordered by the court to pay the full Traffic Ticket fee & be issued demerit points. At Las Vegas Ticket Attorney Law Office, I take the time to appear before the judge and take care of your Traffic Citations for you, so you can spend your time & energy elsewhere. In most cases, your ticket will be reduced to a non-moving violation (illegal parking) with No Points on your DMV record, No Traffic School, No Court Appearance, No Insurance Increases, and Reduced Court Fines. Even more seriously, DUIs and Drug/Criminal Charges require the utmost legal care.

Moore Street buildings subject of proceedings lodged against Dublin City Council Posted on 5th January 2023 at 22:22 Hammerson subsidiary challenges decision to list as protected buildings with links to Easter Rising The company behind a plan to develop a site on Moore Street in central Dublin has lodged judicial review proceedings against Dublin City Council, following a vote in November to designate six buildings as protected structures. Dublin Central GP Ltd (DCGP), a subsidiary of the UK Hammerson group, complained at the time of the council vote that it was unlawful and an improper interference with the planning process. On Tuesday, it lodged proceedings against the council in the High Court. A spokesman for the company said the six properties were subject to three respective grants of planning permission by Dublin City Council in January 2022 and are currently subject to appeal at An Bord Pleanála. “Following careful consideration in consultation with its advisers, DCGP has been compelled to take this action to defend and protect its interests, including substantial investments already made, against what it believes are inappropriate and unlawful actions taken by Dublin City Council in adding the six structures to the Record of Protected Structures (RPS).” DCGP’s proposals “for the regeneration of this important 2.2ha (5.5 acres) site in Dublin’s north inner city represents an opportunity to sensitively rejuvenate this historic part of the city, while ensuring its long-standing traditions and important heritage can be retained and celebrated”. The affected buildings, which are associated with the events of the 1916 Rising, are due for demolition or partial demolition under the plans for the development of a long-derelict 5.5 acre site that stretches from the old Carlton cinema on O’Connell Street to Moore Street, Henry Street and Parnell Street. The buildings in question are listed as 4-8 Henry Place, Dublin 1; 17-18 Henry Place, Dublin 1; 10 Moore Street, Dublin 1; 12 Moore Street, Dublin 1; 13 Moore Street, Dublin 1; and 20-21 Moore Street, Dublin 1. Dublin city councillors first sought protection for the buildings seven years ago. However, the process stalled, in part because the site’s previous owners, Chartered Land, denied the council’s inspectors access to the buildings, but also because the company had already secured permission for their demolition. This permission, first granted in 2010, expired in September 2022 and, at the time of the vote, DCGP wanted the matter to be ruled on by An Bord Pleanála. However, the council’s head of planning, Richard Shakespeare, submitted a report recommending that the buildings be listed as designated structures. The buildings affected include some on Moore Street that contained “creep holes” made during the Rising to allow movement between the buildings on the terrace, as well as buildings on nearby Henry Place which are also linked to the Easter 1916 violence. The developers argued that An Bord Pleanála was the forum within which the merits of the issues surrounding the buildings’ status should be resolved. “It would be fundamentally at variance with proper planning for the council to prejudice or attempt to exert influence on the outcome of pending planning process [of the board] by proposing to add these structures to the RPS at this particular time,” a representatives said at the time. “Major investment in the regeneration project was made in reliance on planning history, including the extant permission and the long-standing strong policy, within relevant development plans favouring regeneration of these lands,” they said. However, the council said it was not precluded from adding a building to the RPS while there were “pending” planning applications. “Indeed, the planning authority may add a structure where it deems it ‘necessary or desirable’ and is not bound by any time limitation.” There was, it said, a “long-standing and historic interest in considering the protection of 1916 buildings located on Henry Place and Moore Street”.

The largest wireless carrier in Japan has lost 3.2 million users over the last 4 1/2 years, many of those lost subscribers are assuredly attributable to the fact the carrier does not offer Apple’s popular iPhone, yet the carrier has still not made a deal to carry the device. However, pressure to relent is mounting. The carrier is focused on developing a “lifestyle system,” which requires certain software to come preinstalled on phones, NTT DoCoMo CEO Kaoru Kato said in an interview withReuters. Apple refuses to allow carriers to preinstall apps on the iPhone, and it also will not allow providers to place their logos on its devices — another remaining issue with NTT DoCoMo. As NTT DoCoMo continues to bleed subscribers, observers believe that a deal to carry the iPhone is a must for the carrier if it wants to stay on top of the heap in Japan. Some of NTT DoCoMo’s executives are reportedly pushing internally for the carrier to give in and sign with Apple. NTT DoCoMo is one of just a handful of major carriers outside of the U.S. that does not offer the iPhone to their customers.

The legal battle between Apple and Qualcomm over unpaid royalty rebates and patent licensing has reached a premature end, as the two companies have reached a settlement, agreeing to drop all litigation. Apple announced the settlement in a press release Tuesday afternoon. Qualcomm and Apple today announced an agreement to dismiss all litigation between the two companies worldwide. The settlement includes a payment from Apple to Qualcomm. The companies also have reached a six-year license agreement, effective as of April 1, 2019, including a two-year option to extend, and a multiyear chipset supply agreement. It sounds as if Qualcomm got the best end of the deal, as Apple is paying them an undisclosed amount, and gets a six-year licensing agreement and a multi-year chipset agreement in the deal. The settlement puts an end to all ongoing litigation between the two parties, as well as Apple’s contract manufacturers. The chipset agreement suggests Apple may once again begin using Qualcomm’s modem chips in its iPhones, including in their 2020 iPhones, which are expected to be the first 5G-capable iPhones. The legal battle that ended today goes back to 2017, when Apple first sued Qualcomm for over $1 billion in unpaid royalty rebates. They accused the San Diego chip maker of anticompetitive patent licensing practices.

By Chisomo Phiri As one way of making sure that students are accessing quality education, a Lunzu-based youth non-governmental organization, Mzati Youth Organization on Saturday donated assorted school necessities to students at Chigodi Primary school in Lunzu, Blantyre.The school necessities include exercise books, pens, soap, toothpastes, mathematical instruments and school uniforms. Speaking when making the donation, Executive Director for Mzati Youth Organization Lawrence Kumpama said their organization always believes in the importance of education hence made the donation so as to help those who cannot because they do not have the school necessities have the chance to do. ” As a youth organization, we always believe in the importance of education and educating a child most especially a girl child hence making the donation to these students so as they can have a chance of going to without any challenge. ” You know sometimes, students miss classes because they do not have exercise books, uniforms, instruments and even pens. We feel their pain when we see them not going to school for lacking these things and that is why we do share a little we have to make education accessible to all”, said Kumpama. Kumpama said despite their organization have passion in helping the needy students in primary schools, they still meet challenges to make things happen. He said currently, the organization has no any donor or sponsor to fund their projects making it hard for them to reach out many schools with support hence called on the government and other well wisher for financial support towards the organization’s projects. ” Currently, we do not have any donor or sponsor to fund our projects so as we reach to many students in various schools. In all activities we do, we depend on I the executive officer and my friend Gift John who is the organization’s Programs Officer. “I and my friend John wake up early in the morning everyday and stand on Chileka road around Kameza roundabout to sell sausages for us to get money to support the office like office rentals, school fees for the students, and other office support. We really need support for our works to be done smoothly”, said Kumpama. In his remarks, the school headteacher at Chigodi Primary School Felix Malekano thanked Mzati youth organization for making the donation at his school and called on other organizations to emulate what Mzati is doing. ” I am very happy that Mzati is here at Chigodi Primary School donating these items to the students. This should not just end here, we pray for the organization to have donars and supporters so as they reach out many students with the support”, said Malekano. Malekano said at a time before the donation made, they were registering a high number of students missing the classes due to lack of school uniforms and other school materials but now he has hope that with the school uniforms and other schools materials they have received from the organization, the number will go down.

While almost every journalist in Valdebebas' Press Room asked Mourinho about Pepe, the Portuguese coach didn't want to speak about him. He did protect his player, however, when asked about Pepe's sincerity. I don't want to speak, but I didn't see any doubt about a player's sincerity when he said he did speak anything racial to another player. And I saw his coach and everyone, even the UEFA and the media believing him. Now Pepe said it was unintentional. If some of you want to call him a liar, do it. Say it and assume the possible consequences. He was obviously referring to Busquets allegedly calling Marcelo a monkey. Jose Mourinho didn't want to answer anything else about Pepe, but when he was asked about his mood after the defeat suffered last Wednesday, Mourinho revealed that he is as ready as always to face the rest of the season. Before the game I said that nothing but my happiness was on the line. And when I lose, I don't hide myself. Thursday I went shopping with my family all around Madrid. Now we are sad because one of ours lost his father. I'm not telling you who this is, because it's a familiar situation, but I suppose the club will say it sooner than later. But here we are, all I can promise is that we will start and finish tomorrow's game on top of the table. The Press Conference was obviously cut short because he gave short answers, but he had the time to talk about Athletic Bilbao in the last question. I expect a very difficult game. They always have good players, ambition and everything. They are dangerous on offensive set pieces, but we haven't worked on that. We did before the game against FC Barcelona and still were scored in one corner kick, so maybe it's better to let the team be instead of being on everybody's head. The team faces Athletic Bilbao tomorrow at 21:30 local time, and Mourinho will speak to the media after the match.

This February Theatre Chef Leo Burtin will be taking our audiences on an online culinary journey through our collection on Thursday 25 February – and you can join in from home too. Audiences will prepare their own dishes at home, before joining Leo for an evening of tasting as he shares stories unearthed from the museum’s archives, each relating to the dish being served. Audiences will receive recipes and spice kits in advance and are encouraged to prepare their meals ready for the event, so that everyone can taste together as Leo shares the personal stories behind each dish. Each of the stories come from the museum’s extensive archive and oral history collection, which documents the history of Manchester’s diverse Jewish community and the individuals and communities that helped form it. Theatre Chef Leo Burtin explains why food is such a powerful way of sharing and connecting: “Eating with others is an opportunity to share the stories that matter to us without using words, calling instead on our other senses. If we are what we eat, then eating together is an opportunity to have more in common while celebrating our differences.” The event will take place on the first evening of Purim, the Jewish festival celebrating the saving of Jewish people from persecution in the ancient Persian Empire (also known as ‘The Feast of Lots’). At the heart of Purim is a feast in which family and friends gather for a festive meal. Whilst traditional Purim festivities have been constrained by the impact of the pandemic, the museum hopes this event will provide an alternative way to come together and eat with others during extraordinary circumstances. Design images courtesy of Citizens Design Bureau: Learning kitchen (left) and cafe (right) Food will be at the heart of the new museum, as the multi-million-pound development includes a brand new café and a learning studio and kitchen where visitors and schools will be able to bake, cook and eat traditional Jewish recipes. Our Chief Executive Max Dunbar talks of the role food will play in the museum: “We see the museum becoming like a ‘living room’ for the communities of Cheetham Hill and beyond, and our new café and learning kitchen are at the heart of that. Food is integral to creating a space for connection, where people can really feel a sense of belonging and ownership. It will bring people together.” The new café and learning kitchen will open along with the main museum later in 2021 and will provide a learning experience for visitors to explore Jewish culture and tradition, as well as serving delicious food and refreshments. The wider Eat the Archives project will continue over the summer, as part of Leo’s artist residency with the museum. It will create a theatrical dining experience like no other, in which audiences will be able to physically dine together as they share stories, recipes and memories in a variety of settings. Eat the Archives: Appetiser will take place online at 7pm on Thursday 25 February. For more information visit: www.manchesterjewishmuseum.com

After last night’s 4-0 demolition of Club Brugge, ex-United man Danny Higginbotham and Southend manager Phil Brown discussed the tactical nuances involved in getting the best out of Wayne Rooney. They spoke about the difference it made playing as a 4-3-3 with Herrera in the advanced midfield position, and the importance of overlapping runs from the wider players, in order to create space for Rooney. The movement in the second half was key, and the likes of Herrera, Memphis and Rooney can offer that in abundance when the system is right, with supreme passers like Mata, Carrick and Schweinsteiger able to spot runs from deep, whilst an attacking 3 can interchange more intricately up-front. The verdict from the Sky Sports pair was that United don’t need another top striker as playing 2 up front isn’t going to happen – they need a system that maximises Rooney’s impact, and they need more goals from the midfield to take some of the emphasis off the United number 10. It’s not unthinkable that players like Memphis and Herrera could get 10 goals each this season, but 4-3-3 is surely the formation we need to stick with in the majority of games. Listen to Higginbotham and Brown below:

Leverage Game - 1977 - Milton Bradley - New Old Stock Leverage Game - New by Milton Bradley Category: Board Games Genre: Strategy Game 30 Min Playing Time Leverage is an exciting board game of strategy with a unique action feature; it includes various weighted pieces and is built around universal laws of balance and force. Leverage has been hailed as a favorite of GAMES MAGAZINE in 4 different years. Rules and game pieces are simple and easy to understand, yet tactics and strategy can be as sophisticated and challenging as the players themselves. Two opposing strategies (speed & sacrifice vs. conservation & mass force) provide intrigue and depth, as either may be merged into the other as the game unfolds. Constant action potential -- Jump, capture, sacrifice, block; and, the players may rock the board at any time to see how the leverage advantage is changing. Suspense -- The board always stabilizes at a level position until a move is made that tilts it down to rest at one end; there is no halfway tilt! When the board tilts down, scoring pegs are removed until it returns to level. The winner is (1)the one who tilts the board down towards his opponent when the opponent has no scoring pegs left to remove, or (2)the one who moves all of his remaining playing pieces into the opposite Safety Zone while having more or an equal number of scoring pegs than his opponent.

In the spotlight: Clara Contreras Learning what it meant to be a certified nursing aide (CNA) was a pivotal moment in Clara Contreras’ life. “Somebody told me to take a CNA class. I didn’t know what it was, but when I figured it out I really liked it,” said Clara. After she took her first class and completed her training, a retired nurse at Manor of the Plains suggested Clara apply for a job here. She was hired in 2006. “I’m still here, and I’m never planning to quit. Manor of the Plains is a really good place to work. Everyone tries to do their best. Our focus is on the residents and that’s what I like, too. I’m really happy doing what I’m doing right now.” Clara currently works as a restorative aide, something she prefers over some of the responsibilities of the CNA position. “I can be more involved with medicine and passing out medications as a CNA, but I like to be more involved with the residents. It makes me feel good. As a restorative aide I get more time with them and get to know them more. To me it’s about being more involved in their lives,” said Clara. At home, Clara enjoys spending time with her four grandkids, three children and her husband of 29 years, Daniel Perez. She also likes to sew and cook. In August, Clara will celebrate her 12th anniversary at PMMA. We’re also celebrating her this month as we recognize National Nursing Assistants Week June 10-17.

On-campus therapists help residents improve function, achieve independence Thanks to a partnership with Aegis Therapies, Manor of the Plains residents who have suffered an injury or have otherwise had their day-to-day activities impeded by a physical ailment have easy access to the knowledge and experience of trained professionals who can help get them back on a path to recovery. Occupational Therapist Alyssa Lewis and Physical Therapist Jie (pronounced “Jay”) Hao each bring unique perspectives to their work but they both work toward a common goal. “The goal is to benefit the patients by not only helping them return to their prior level of function for a safe return home and/or improve overall functional performance to maximize safety and independence in the facility, but to also provide a relationship where they feel met and understood on their level,” said Alyssa. To increase the individualized, patient-specific care she provides, Alyssa recently received her lymphedema certification. It enables her to use manual therapy to decrease a patient’s swelling following a surgery or injury. “Although I have not had a specific lymphedema patient yet, the certification allows me to provide a needed service and broaden my horizon on future patient treatments,” said Alyssa. Like Alyssa, Jie prides himself providing residents with personalized care that can offer the greatest results. “I collaborate with rehabilitation team members and other health care professionals to design individualized therapy plans that address each resident’s unique needs,” said Jie. “Plans may focus on building strength and endurance, improving flexibility, enhancing coordination, improving balance and walking abilities, reducing pain, optimizing movement and fall prevention.” The residents themselves play a key role on the rehabilitation team. “I try to make the residents feel involved in their plan of care. I also enjoy involving family to make it a comprehensive relationship among all involved,” said Alyssa. “I do what I do because I enjoy helping people. I enjoy being able to be a part of the recovery process and see the progress made. I enjoy each relationship I make with residents and families alike.” For Jie, who, away from the community, engages in international rehabilitation research, working one-on-one with residents allows him a great opportunity to put what he’s learned to practical use. “The human body and movement are fascinating, and I enjoy using my knowledge and skills to help people across the lifespan to better recover from injuries or diseases,” said Jie. “I believe ‘motion is lotion,’ ‘exercise is medicine’ and ‘health is wealth,’ and physical therapy perfectly fits my niche,” said Jie. Having worked in a variety of settings, Alyssa believes that Manor of the Plains offers the perfect environment for both the work she does and the residents she treats. “It’s structured yet provides a great community-like environment for the residents who can no longer live outside the facility,” said Alyssa. “I enjoy seeing the friendships between residents and really love all the interactions of family members coming and going.”

A freezing cold night, a shite atmosphere and Old Trafford being stewarded by people that our visitors tonight would colloquially call a shower of “berks”. As much as nights like the one we all had at Stamford Bridge three months ago emphasise the privilege it is to be a red, nights like tonight are as much bad as that night was good. The irony is that United lost that night at Stamford Bridge but we all came home jubilant having taken the piss out them frauds that pollute that stadium. Tonight, United won but never has the old pun, “cold Trafford” been more appropriate. I sometimes read the K stand top left section in UWS fanzine and wonder if I’m living in a parallel universe to the fella writing it. The self mythologysing K Stand were silent for almost the entire match, outshouted by roughly 1600 traveling West Ham fans but worse were the fuckin’ stewards. Whilst the West Ham fans were stood up for almost the entire match (no skin off my nose, just as long as they don’t cut our allocation there for the same reason), Three lads just behind me in the B stand walked out after being mithered by a steward when trying to get an atmosphere going. My guess is that they probably went to the Bishops, which they might as well have been all night for the contribution they were ALLOWED to make to the atmosphere. There was another fella in the K stand in a white coat who was kicked out of the ground for the same reason. I’ve seen uprising in our proud old stadium before against these goons. The first time I saw it was the J stand in the summer of 1991 when them busy bastards that Michael “Ned” Kelly employed got a good slapping when they tried kicking out reds making an atmosphere during a match against Luton Town. Maybe Old Trafford has been stealthily neutered over the years, as a lot of people believe but I know of enough rum lads who still regularly go for that idea to be rubbish. The problem is, they’re all scattered around the stadium. The idea that was mooted last season about a singing section, where lads can gather together in a prominent part of the stadium, can’t come to fruition quickly enough in my eyes.

Wärtsilä has been awarded a contract to supply its Wärtsilä Auxpac 32 generating sets for eight new 13,500 TEU container vessels being built for China Shipping Container Lines (CSCL). Four generating sets are needed for each vessel, making a total of 32 sets in all. The order was placed in March 2016 with Wärtsilä's joint venture company, CSSC Wärtsilä Engine (Shanghai) Co Ltd (CWEC). The ships have been ordered from the Hudong-Zhonghua yard in China. The total power output from the contracted Wärtsilä engines will exceed 100 MW. Delivery of the engines to the yard will commence in the first half of 2017. The Wärtsilä Auxpac 32 is the auxiliary engine version of theWärtsilä 32 family, of which more than 1,200 engines are in operation worldwide. Wärtsilä said it is its most powerful Auxpac generating set and is aimed at the upper end of the merchant shipping market, notably large container vessels with an auxiliary power need of from 2,500-4,500 kWe per generating set.
