| Jul 14, 2017
hi Deepika.. would like to know if your baby is on formula feeds.. this would usually cause more solid poop.. since you said he is six months.. have you started giving him solids.. in that case again poop consistency will be altered.. regarding baby straining.. it is termed grunting.. which is normal.. their digestive system is yet to mature.. and in the meantime.. they will grunt to let out poop.. though it is distressing to view a baby grunt.. nothing needs to be done as long as his poop is otherwise ok.. that is no mucus or blood.. and if he feeds well and is gaining weight.. hope this helps! | <urn:uuid:488a4586-2339-4727-a22f-218587886bdd> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.parentune.com/parent-talk/poop/81464 | 2023-09-26T06:32:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.978532 | 206 |

What Clients Think About PMS
"I have known Steve for a number of years and have recommended him on a regular basis to clients or colleagues who needed personal service, total expertise in the treacherous arena of payroll and employment taxes, and a high level of integrity. In 2009, I was able to recommend him into the law firm I was at during that period and he did a wonderful job of handling the firm; especially as they had offices on both coasts and thus a dizzying array of payroll services and employment regulations to deal with. I would happily recommend Steve to anyone looking for expert service, great value and quality performance."

Join us for a conversation with Joshua L. Grimes, Esq., Attorney at Law, Grimes Law Offices, LLC, to learn more about trends in contracting and legal considerations.
Session Three: Steve Garguilo, PCMA Best in Class Speaker, Showing Up More Empowered at Work
Empowered employees aren’t satisfied being on the outside looking in. They are explorers and action-takers. They use their creativity to imagine what a new world could look like and apply their energy and courage to bring their imagination tolife. But it can be hard sometimes to feel like you’re really empowered at work to make change. There are all kinds of rules and reasons why things can’t work, and your management might frown upon what you think about as a good idea. Over time, this can lead to people not bringing forward new ideas anymore or not pushing to challenge the status quo. In this session, we’ll explore stories, models, and experiments for how to show up more empowered at work. You’ll hear stories of people who were able to make a big impact inside their complex workplaces, and you’ll learn about power dynamics and how you can make change no matter your role or title.
•Explore specific stories of people who challenged the status quo at work and what you can learn from them
•Apply the different constructs of power (power to, power with, power within, power over) to your situation
•Learn how to assess your current level of empowerment using a validated, researched model (Autonomy, Fulfillment, Community, Competence) and take action to make waves inside your organization

PennEngineering® is a Licensee of the following Technologies:
Originally developed for the demands of the automotive industry, this patented design helps speed assembly and reduces or eliminates failures, repairs, scrap, downtime, and warranty service associated with thread damage. This unique anti-cross-threading feature is offered on most PennEngineering® externally threaded products including studs and panel fasteners.
In an age of “light, thin, short, and small,” screws also must be smaller than ever. Industries are now even demanding screws in sizes measured in microns. To provide a valuable solution to such difficult demands, OSG Corporation has developed an ultra-small precision screw, the “Microstix®.”
PT® / Delta PT® Screws
PT® screws feature a high thread profile and recessed thread root providing increased thread engagement with minimal stress. Delta PT® screws are engineered for maximized performance with an enhanced design creating a stronger joint and optimal material flow during installation. They further enable higher performance, better clamp loads, and increased joint life in service compared with standard screws for plastics. Both families of screws ideally suit thermoplastic applications.
The REMFORM® screw is a thread-forming fastener with a unique thread form, specifically designed for today’s wide range of plastics. REMFORM® screws not only form well-developed threads in pliable material, but are also competent for demanding applications utilizing the latest tough engineering grades of plastics.
TAPTITE® thread rolling screws roll form threads in plain cored, drilled, or punched holes upon assembly. Creating vibration resistant assemblies, eliminating the need to pre-tap internal threads in ductile materials such as steel, aluminum, zinc, etc., thus lowering the cost of assembly.
TORX® / TORX PLUS®
The TORX® Drive System has become the world’s leading high-performance drive system for threaded assemblies in a broad range of applications and end-use markets. The TORX PLUS® Drive has consistently outperformed every other drive system. Its longer tool life and optimal torque transfer have enhanced product reliability, increased productivity and reduced total assembly costs on assembly lines in a multitude of industries around the world.

Our Top 5 Tips for Skincare In The Sun 1. Apply sunscreen often . American Academy of Dermatology recommends that all kids—regardless of skin tone—wear sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. Reapply about every 2 hours (more if your kids are sweating or swimming). Don’t forget about the tops of their feet, behind the neck and under bathing-suit straps.
Cover up! The sun is an amazing thing, but too much can do some serious damage to sensitive skin. Bring an umbrella or even a small tent to have a cool off area, it works wonders when its nap time, you don’t have to leave the beach and the little ones can nap comfortably without feeling the heat. Hats are a great accessories to bring to the beach. Most people forget to cover the tops of their

It is genuinely overpowering the measure of products being sold on eBay consistently. Supporting the monstrous measure of things recorded is a much more huge number of purchasers out there searching for stuff to purchase. These purchasers all are searching for a deal and yet when they do discover something that intrigues them; they will up their offer to win it. There are numerous individuals who wish to participate in this entire cycle however have no clue about where to begin. What to sell on eBay is simply the principal question everybody asks when they first need to figure out how to sell on eBay. You need an item that is popular, is anything but difficult to track down and is in steady stock and has no base request.
There are numerous obscure discount and outsource list venders who will simply leave you more disappointed and broke than with deals and benefits. You just need to look as close as your nearby second hand shop. Second hand shops are loaded up with name marks that individuals are effectively looking to purchase. They have a great many possible things to stock your eBay business. Try to realize what is popular and will sell. This is finished by examination and study.

As you go on you will see a theme of specific brands selling at a top notch cost and others not selling by any means. This takes some time yet is well justified, despite all the trouble.

Lead Champion of our Mental Health themed quarter, Mo Arthur, arranged a Healthy Minds session at The Green. The purpose of the event was for staff and people we support to learn different techniques on dealing with stress and develop their knowledge on mental health.
The session went really well and there was positive feedback all round.
When we asked Rebecca, who uses our Supported Living service, what well being means to her, she said "wellbeing is really important and it means having a healthy mind in order to have a healthy body".
As part of the session, they learnt different breathing techniques to combat stress and Rebecca said she really enjoyed learning these and that they are something she wishes to continue doing with her support staff.
Kim, shared lives worker, said the breathing techniques were her favourite part of the day as "these can be used in our everyday lives and are important skills to have" to stay in a positive frame of mind and be emotionally and mentally well.
After the Healthy Minds session, the day doubled up as the group enjoyed a cream tea afternoon giving everyone the opportunity to reflect on the day and take part in some DIY activities. This included making their own hand scrub and potting some plants.
Macc, from Shared Lives, did a DJ set and created a Kahoot music quiz for everyone to enjoy.
Sarisa, who is also from Shared Lives, baked some lovely treats which she sold to raise money for Cancer Research UK, where she works. | <urn:uuid:4a88cd1e-48de-4190-9042-7b6da9651637> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.personasupport.org/news-and-events/news/it-s-all-about-wellbeing/ | 2023-09-26T06:41:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.978537 | 300 |

IATA statistics suggest improvement over recent months.
Global air cargo market statistics for July 2023 show a continuing trend of recovering growth rates since February, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA). July air cargo demand was tracking just 0.8% below the previous year’s levels. Although demand is now basically flat compared to 2022, IATA notes that this is an improvement on recent months’ performance, even while considering declines in global trade volumes and concerns over China’s economy.
Global demand, measured in cargo tonne-kilometers (CTKs), tracked at 0.8% below July 2022 levels (-0.4% for international operations). This was an improvement over the previous month’s performance (-3.4%).
Capacity, which is measured in available cargo tonne-kilometers (ACTKs), rose 11.2% compared to July 2022 (8% for international operations). The strong uptick in ACTKs is a reflection of the growth in belly capacity (29.3% year-on-year) due to the summer season.
"… How this trend will evolve in the coming months will be something to watch carefully,” says Willie Walsh, IATA’s director general. “Many fundamental drivers of air cargo demand, such as trade volumes and export orders, remain weak or are deteriorating. … At the same time, we are seeing shorter delivery times, which is normally a sign of increasing economic activity. Amid these mixed signals, strengthening demand gives us good reason to be cautiously optimistic." | <urn:uuid:02b4b413-e128-44e5-98ec-ceadf1e11e68> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.pharmaceuticalcommerce.com/view/july-sees-a-rise-in-air-freight-demand | 2023-09-26T05:23:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.93292 | 327 |

o Editorial specialists, with a number of major creative accounts.
o The heart of the archive is made up of the John Topham collection plus millions of original negatives and hardcopy prints from a number of thriving 20th Century historic British press agencies from the glory days of Fleet Street (c.1900-1969), collected and acquired by the Smiths during the 1970s and 1980s, together with original engravings from the early 1800s and glass plate negatives from early 1900s.
o The first big win for the firm turned out to be providing a large number of photos of Juan and Eva Peron to a team taking what was viewed as a huge gamble on a musical about the life of Evita. TopFoto’s photographs were incorporated into the set, with a royalty per flash in performance agreed for their anticipated “maximum 2-week run” way back in 1978….
o TopFoto are the sole, official and exclusive representative of the legendary Punch magazine and cartoons.
o TopFoto directly owns uniquely important photographer collections including over 3,000 negatives and prints taken by the late filmmaker Ken Russell (1950s), and the archive of key Illustrated and PicturePost photographer George Douglas known as “Speedy George” (1940s-1950s)

Our estate vineyard was harvested on September 28th to maximize the specific ripeness attributes we were aiming for at this vineyard designate site. 2019 began with a wet and cool spring, which pushed bud break out two weeks later than in 2018. The summer growing season was relatively uneventful, with no heat spikes. Due to the moderate weather and late bud break, veraison did not end until early August in some areas of the valley. Autumn brought hot days and cool nights which helped push the grapes to full ripening, while preserving their acidity. As a result, the wines produced from this vintage are full and robust with deep color.
The grapes were hand-harvested at night – when temperatures often dip to 50˚F – to capture vibrant acidity and fruit expression in the wine. We first cold-soaked the must (crushed grapes) for gentle extraction and then fermented in stainless steel, concrete, and oak barrel fermenters at 92˚F. Rigorous pump-overs, increasing during the peak of the fermentation, developed deep color, rich varietal character and fine tannins in the wine. The wine was aged in 100% new French oak barrels to meld the bright fruit expression with oak spice nuances over 26 months of barrel-aging. This wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered to present the attributes of the vineyard in the purest form possible, from the dirt to the glass! | <urn:uuid:eedcc51c-9358-4217-a823-dbf24a65d91c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.pineridgevineyards.com/wine/circle-hill-cabernet/ | 2023-09-26T06:09:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.969275 | 294 |
Outside of the government and financing organizations, law firms have a lot of confidential information that needs to be protected. Even more so than any other industry because you have both records and case files that need to be accounted for. You want to make this available to your clients while still restricting it from unauthorized access. These documents will be sent over the printer, and that will prevent them from falling into unscrupulous hands. One example of this is when someone grabs a stack of papers rushing to their meeting. It provides employees with the ability to handle their information better when you have a document management system, it keeps your secured information private.
With secured printing software, you maintain the integrity of your information, and you can pull it up faster because the system has a type of search engine that lets you type in a couple keywords to pull up files. In addition, your files do not get lost in the shuffle and end up being viewed by unauthorized individuals. They will have to type in a pin code every time before they can print anything. Your legal firm needs this type of printing because insurance details, tax information and medical information will all be available in your clients’ records. Without recording these things, it can get lost. That problem becomes a thing of the past with your next document management system. Using this system, you can look at the list of documents both confidential and non-confidential. | <urn:uuid:b18d1a76-76d1-4964-be28-09900f77c906> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.pittsburghcopier.com/secure-printing-law-firm/ | 2023-09-26T05:06:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.950538 | 279 |
From single barrier trays to double sterile barrier systems, we know how important it is to keep your medical products safe and secure prior to being used in a medical setting or operating room. In most scenarios, a thermoformed tray maintains the integrity of the overall package. In medical packaging, PETG is the standard material for rigid packages for its durability, excellent forming capabilities, and chemical resistance.
- PETG is easily formable, perfect for intricate trays, rigid packaging, blisters, and clamshells
- High clarity, view the contents inside easily
- Compatible with sterilizing processes such as EtO and Gamma
BargerGard is a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) that protects rough and sharp components, porous-coated, or otherwise abrasive instruments during shipping and prior to medical usage. that can be designed specifically for your product.
- High-abrasion resistance
- impact- and cut-resistant,
- ideal for rough inserts and needles—generally, these abrasive parts can scratch PETG and cause particulate where BargerGard won’t.
- Can be formed, die-cut, and welded
- Made for liners, carriers, blade covers, screw pouches, cushioning, sleeves, or tip protection
- Compatible with ethylene oxide (EtO), gamma, and eBeam sterilization
- UV inhibiting properties that won’t break down with UV sterilization
Tyvek® lidding is used to seal the components inside thermoformed trays shut. Lidding is available with your customized print graphic and can be cut exactly to the dimension of your tray.
- Adheres strongly to PETG trays
- Porous makeup allows for sterilization methods to pull through the fibrous material
- Communicate important messages with three-color print capabilities
- Add lift tabs to double-barrier trays making it easy for the user to lift inner tray without compromising sterilization
Foil is also adhered to thermoformed PETG trays but is used in different applications. One would need a foil lid if you need an oxygen barrier to protect the inside components, or if there are liquids in the tray.
- Best used in applications where sterilization happens prior to lid sealing
- Strong oxygen barrier as foil is non-porous
- Adheres to PETG Trays, no printing capabilities directly on foil
Backer cards are used in instances similar to trays and BargerGard pouches where components need to be packaged together, without free-floating around the container, most commonly paired with a Tyvek-vacuum-sealed, poly-pouch.
- Simple designs keep instruments safely separated and contained altogether
- HDPE is a durable, impact- and scratch-resistant material to protect components
- Suited best for non-abrasive or sharp objects that could scratch HDPE particulate into the package
- A lower-cost alternative to tray tooling | <urn:uuid:94e8aa5e-d56d-4019-9961-31708682d1eb> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.placon.com/medical/medical-packaging-materials/ | 2023-09-26T05:26:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.886834 | 643 |
After a slow start to the week of June 12, resin trading began to heat up mid-week and ended with a flurry of orders. Buyers and sellers tapped the PlasticsExchange spot market ready to make deals, which were much easier to close than the previous week. In fact, completed volumes were among the highest of the year.
Transactions were generally for multiple truckloads or railcars, a notable change from much of 2023 when processors sought to reduce inventory and typically ordered minimal volumes. After rallying during the first quarter, spot prices have tumbled the past two to three months. They are now well discounted compared with contract levels, providing processors with excellent buying opportunities, reports the PlasticsExchange in its Market Update.
Commodity PE, PP resin prices hold steady
After fairly steady erosion, commodity polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) prices finally stemmed their slide and held firm. “We are sensing a positive change in sentiment away from distinctly bearish, but it is too early to say if we are seeing early signs of bottoming action for this leg of the cycle or just an interim uptick in demand,” said the PlasticsExchange.
PE trading had its busiest week of the year, with deals spread across all key commodity resins. Demand for low-density (LD) PE surged in both Film and Injection grades; high-density (HD) PE and linear-low-density (LLD) PE were good movers, too, and almost kept pace. Spot PE prices had been dropping consistently on the heels of heavy supplies and weak export prices, but prices finally managed to stabilize last week. LLDPE Injection even posted a penny gain. Preliminary data released by the American Chemistry Council (ACC) showed an increase in May PE production, though operating rates still only ran at 85%. Domestic and export sales were a little above average, but it was still not enough to move all the resin that was made, so collective producer inventories built for a third straight month to the highest level since July 2022. For a detailed look, subscribe to the ACC for actual supply/demand figures.
Object lesson in index slippage
Some contract buyers have expressed frustration with the major indices that held PE contracts flat in May, maintaining $0.06/lb of 2023 increases even as spot prices reduced for the year amid very ample supplies. For those that wonder how index slippage occurs to necessitate those infamous non-market adjustments, well, this is a perfect example, said the PlasticsExchange.
Spot prime prices at the PlasticsExchange have given up more than their first-quarter gains and are now down an average of $0.04/lb for the year. This has led some processors to dive into the spot market for well-priced resin, plenty of which still remains, both Prime and off grade, in bulk railcars and packaged truckloads. There is technically another $0.03/lb increase on the table for June, but this will be pushed off until July.
Regardless of supply/demand conditions, it makes sense to have price increases nominated throughout the hurricane season, which is already underway, should a major storm disrupt production. This is also a good reminder for resin processors to keep an inventory buffer on hand, recommends the PlasticsExchange. We have seen time and time again how quickly surplus material can dry up and a market go from loose to tight, notes the resin clearinghouse in its weekly report.
Off-grade PP discount to Prime expands
PP trading activity was swift: Widespec railcars continued to flow while prime supplies began to tighten as monomer prices rebounded. PP demand improved, helping Prime prices hold steady after losing ground the past several weeks (and months), but off-grade pricing was still soft so its discount to prime expanded. Transactions were plentiful, with homo copolymer PP high melt for both Injection and Melt Blown applications leading the way. Prime copolymer PP sales came in close behind.
The first quarter is usually when we see strong demand, which did not happen this year. May sales were the best so far of 2023 and June is looking good, so it is very possible that seasonal buying has just shifted back a few months, according to the PlasticsExchange. Downstream resin and finished goods inventories have been reduced over the past three quarters, and processors seem to be replenishing those stocks now that resin prices have come back down again. Generally speaking, most PP grades can be found in railcar quantities and at favorable prices. Suppliers had been chasing orders but low-ball bids for Prime were quickly turned down last week.

Genshin Impact creator HoYoverse’s highly anticipated new title Honkai: Star Rail is still yet to have an official release date, but it has been revealed that the Final Closed Beta is coming on 10 February 2023.
The space fantasy RPG is coming to iOS, Android and PC. It is the latest entry in the Honkai franchise, and of course, as a HoYoverse game, the question on everyone’s minds is: Will this be the next Genshin Impact?
A number of new characters are to be added for the first time in the upcoming beta, as are new in-game features "drilling down to the core gameplay". On the subject of gameplay, Honkai: Star Rail features turn-based battles, puzzle solving, maze exploration and more. Combat teams comprise four characters, such as Bailu, Yan Qing, Qing Que and Tingyun, all of whom were revealed in the Final Closed Beta trailer to the sounds of Eastern fantasy come jazz fusion.
With an apparent emphasis on its story from what is known so far, the beta will show players this tale’s origin in the Herta Space Station, the icy planet Jarilo-VI, and dreadnought Xianzhou Luofu – foreshadowing an expedition to come. Co-op, companion missions, photos and more are also expected to appear in the beta.
The HoYoverse legacy
Before Genshin Impact, HoYoverse (miHoYo at the time) was known for its ongoing Honkai series, but this is the company’s first return to the franchise since the global success of Genshin Impact. By Genshin’s first anniversary the game had already generated $2 billion on mobile alone. One year later, in September 2022, Sensor Tower singled out Genshin Impact as having been the most successful gacha mobile game in the past two years, earning more than the second and third-place gacha games combined.
With Genshin Impact’s triumph overshadowing the Honkai series, for now we can only wait and see whether the HoYoverse can capture lightning twice and make Honkai: Star Rail just as successful.
Earlier this month, HoYoverse premiered Genshin Impact’s first official art exhibition in Paris, called "Endless Adventure in Teyvat". | <urn:uuid:399835a4-a356-4975-8d78-021e98e7de03> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.pocketgamer.biz/news/80707/could-hoyoverses-honkai-star-rail-recapture-genshin-impacts-success-final-closed-beta-coming-soon/ | 2023-09-26T05:56:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.936222 | 498 |
The European Commission today (18 June) approved a reorganisation of the business arrangements for Eurostar, the cross-channel passenger train service.
The Commission’s approval was, however, conditional on the companies that manage Eurostar offering concessions that should help potential rivals enter the cross-channel rail market.
Eurostar is the only passenger service that runs through the channel-tunnel rail link, although the market for international rail services in Europe has been liberalised since 1 January.
Eurostar runs passenger trains between London and Paris, and London and Brussels. The service is run by an international consortium that includes France’s national rail operator (the SNCF), Belgium’s national rail operator (the SNCB), and London Continental Railways (LCR), a state-owned UK railway company.
SNCF, SNCB and LCR applied to the Commission in April to create an independent joint-venture, called ‘New Eurostar’, that would take over responsibility for running the Eurostar service.
The Commission was concerned, however, that the creation of New Eurostar could make it harder for other companies to enter the cross-channel rail market. Its main concern was that New Eurostar would have complete control of much of the infrastructure needed to operate a train service through the tunnel, including track, stations and service depots.
The concessions extracted by the Commission from the SNCF, LCR and SNCB, in exchange for approving New Eurostar, include that the companies will release track capacity to a rival operator if that operator has tried and failed to acquire capacity during the normal allocation procedures that will take place in member states as a result of liberalisation.
The companies also committed themselves to grant “effective access” for rival operators to ticket counters and security-control areas at Eurostar stations. They have also guaranteed access to light-maintenance service depots in France, the UK and Belgium.
No clear rival to Eurostar has emerged since liberalisation of the cross-channel route on 1 January. Deutsche Bahn and Air France have, however, at different times mooted running a rival service to Eurostar. | <urn:uuid:7c004c66-f1dc-4a26-a1c7-e571510dfcdb> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.politico.eu/article/commission-approves-eurostar-changes/ | 2023-09-26T06:43:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.962562 | 445 |
A new forecast by the European Commission sees dramatically slower growth in Greece, and now the Commission’s economy chief is warning that Athens won’t be able to count on a bailout to rescue it from bankruptcy without a credible reform program.
“I would simply say that this issue can only be discussed after we have agreed a reform program which I hope will be consistent, detailed, complete and which will make it possible for the Greek economy to recover,” Pierre Moscovici, the Economic and Monetary Affairs Commissioner, said on Tuesday after the Commission announced its spring economic forecast.
Those numbers showed that Greece is in growing trouble — in contrast to signs of life in much of the rest of the eurozone.
The Commission said that Greece would only eke out 0.5 percent growth this year; that’s down from an earlier forecast of 2.5 percent made only four months ago.
The Commission put some of the blame on the political uncertainty caused by Greece’s new left-wing government led by the Syriza party of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, which has tried to renegotiate a rescue package with Greece’s creditors that would forgive some of Athens’ debts and tone down austerity policies that the government says are stifling growth.
“The rise in uncertainty since the autumn of 2014 and the slowdown in the recovery have had a significant impact on Greece’s public finances,” the Commission said.
Even that lackluster growth prediction is based on Greece striking a deal with the International Monetary Fund and its fellow eurozone members that would unlock €7.2 billion in bailout funds and prevent Greece from spiraling into bankruptcy by next month.
But Athens will not get the money without a credible reform program, something that is politically very difficult for Tsipras, who was elected on a promise to end austerity.
The Commission also warned that the Greek government has had trouble raising revenues, leading to a worse-than-expected general government balance and a continued increase in government debt this year. Greece’s sovereign debt is expected to grow to 180 percent of GDP — a level many economists consider unrepayable and which is creating growing pressure for a debt write-down.
Over the longer term there are some positive signals. The Commission expects Greek growth to bounce back to 2.9 percent thanks to a revival in investment, an improvement in government finances and a continued fall in unemployment — albeit from a very high 26.5 percent last year.
The grim news from Greece comes as the rest of the eurozone is expecting stronger growth thanks to a weaker euro, low oil prices and a policy of quantitative easing.
The Commission found that expansion in the common currency area will rise by 1.5 percent in 2015, up from an earlier prediction of 1.3 percent.
“Europe’s economies are benefitting from many supporting factors at once,” said a Commission statement. “Oil prices remain relatively low, global growth is steady, the euro has continued to depreciate, and economic policies in the EU are supportive.”
The eurozone recovery is very uneven. Countries which had fallen into crisis along with Greece have returned to robust growth; Ireland is expected to grow by 3.6 percent and Portugal by 1.6 percent while Spain is expected to grow by 2.8 percent this year, the fastest pace of any big eurozone economy.
“You see Spain, Ireland and the program countries bouncing back,” said Carsten Nickel of Teneo Intelligence, an analysis firm.
The forecast shows a structural north-south divide in Europe. Germany, the EU’s largest economy, is expected to grow by 1.9 percent in 2015 and by 2 percent next year. But France and Italy continue to be laggards, with France expected to grow by only 1.1 percent and Italy by 0.6 percent.
“We’re talking about the second and third largest states of the eurozone. France and Italy have not undergone reform programs,” said Nickel. “Spain and Ireland have, but there’s the idea that France and Italy haven’t done enough to get their economies going.”
Growth is better outside the eurozone, with the UK expected to expand by 2.8 percent and most of the economies of central Europe also showing strong recoveries.
Poland continues its more than two decades of above average growth; the Commission expects an expansion of 3.3 percent this year and 3.4 percent in 2016 from central Europe’s largest economy.

The Nissan 240sx is a Fun, Affordable Sports Car
If you’re looking for a fun, affordable sports car that can handle a severe amount of aftermarket performance upgrades, the Nissan 240sx is the car for you. It offers excellent value, ample power, a well-balanced chassis, and an abundance of aftermarket support.
Nissan’s 240SX was a follow-up to its “S13” model, which was also sold as the Silvia (coupe) and 180SX (hatchback). The first generation was powered by a single-cam KA24E 2.4L I4, making 140 HP and 160 lb-ft of torque.
The Nissan 240sx is a popular car among drifters due to its long wheelbase, low cost, ample power, lightweight, and well-balanced chassis. It also is featured in several racing video games, such as Forza and Midnight Club.
The first generation 240sx, known as the S13, was introduced in 1989 and continued to be sold until 1994. It was available in hatchback, coupe, and convertible body styles.
Nissan used the KA24E engine to power the S13, producing 140 hp and 152 lb-ft of torque. This was not enough for most drivers to be competitive in a drifting competition, so many owners swapped their engines with something more powerful.
In 1995, the 240sx underwent significant upgrades, including a new body style and mechanical improvements. While the KA24E engine remained, it was upgraded to the SR20DET. However, the S14 240sx did not do as well as the previous generation in the US and was discontinued in 1998.
The Nissan 240sx is an iconic sports car built with eager young drivers in mind. It is a rear-wheel drive car with excellent handling, deft steering, and an engaging chassis.
The 240SX was also one of the most popular vehicles in the drifting community during its time. Its balanced weight distribution and lightweight RWD layout made it an ideal car for drifting.
It was also a good choice for the everyday driver because of its reliability and toughness. Despite its age, the Nissan 240sx is still a reliable and popular car with excellent aftermarket support.
If you want to drift your 240SX, you should consider running an aggressive setup with a square fitment style on 17×9 wheels and skinny tires like 215/40 or 235/45. This will make it easy to throw your car around corners and work well for Insta clout builds.
The Nissan 240sx is one of the most popular drifting cars in the world. It is a popular choice for the drifting community because of its long wheelbase, balanced weight distribution, and lightweight rear-wheel drive layout.
In 1991 the Nissan 240sx received a minor exterior refresh and an improved 2.4-liter DOHC KA24DE engine. This new engine had four valves per cylinder and was rated at 155 horsepower.
It also had a more rigid cylinder head, and revised engine mounts that reduced vibrations. Its 155 hp is not enough to make it a competitive race car, but it will move the 240SX with confidence when you need it to.
For buyers who want a sporty coupe but not an extreme racer, the 240SX SE offers just that with its firmer suspension components, alloy wheels, and fatter tires than the base car. In addition, the SE adds a roll bar in the back to give it better road handling. Its braking is solid, too.
Nissan’s current lineup includes a host of vehicles that are all good, but the Japanese automaker’s sports cars have always been its most prized possessions. Whether it’s the Fairlady Roadster or the early Zs, these vehicles command big bucks among collectors and enthusiasts.
If you want a great, affordable sports car that isn’t dated or too expensive for your wallet, the Nissan 240sx is an excellent choice. It’s fun to drive, and you can tinker with it as a project car for street or light track use.
The first generation of the 240sx was introduced in 1989 as Nissan’s replacement for the 200sx and was offered a hatchback or coupe body style. It was powered by a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine capable of 155 hp and sent power to the rear wheels through a 4-speed automatic or 5-speed manual transmission.
The second generation of the 240sx was introduced in 1995, and the body style changed to a coupe. It offered a more rounded look with an 8.5 cubic feet trunk and 16-inch alloys. In addition, the pop-up headlights were replaced with fixed lamps. | <urn:uuid:a3dccbe3-0974-4aba-998e-1b298cf818dc> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.pollexr.com/the-nissan-240sx-is-a-fun-affordable-sports-car/ | 2023-09-26T06:21:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.971418 | 1,011 |
Are you a proud owner of a hot tub, but unsure about the proper process of draining and refilling it? Look no further! In this comprehensive guide, we will walk you through the step-by-step instructions on how to drain and refill your hot tub like a pro. Whether you’re starting up a new hot tub, performing a maintenance drain and refill, or reactivating a winterized tub, we’ve got you covered. So let’s dive in and ensure your hot tub is in pristine condition!
Step 1: Locating and Preparing the Drain
The first step in the process of draining and refilling your hot tub is to locate the drain. In most cases, the drain can be found on the exterior of the hot tub, often in the lower extremities area. However, if you can’t find the drain on the outside, it might be located in the equipment bay. Take a look inside the compartment that houses the equipment, usually situated below the top-side controller.
Step 1.1: Draining from the Exterior
If the drain is on the exterior, you need to ensure it is closed if you’re planning to fill the tub or open it if you’re draining it. To open the drain, simply unscrew the safety cap, attach a garden hose, and turn the ball valve a quarter way to allow the water to drain.
Step 1.2: Draining from the Equipment Bay
In case the drain is located inside the equipment bay, it usually consists of a hose with a similar fitting. Make sure the drain is closed before filling the tub. If it was winterized, check all the unions and valves, tighten them, and ensure the O-ring is in the correct position.
Step 2: Filling the Hot Tub
Now that the draining process is complete or the drain is closed for a maintenance refill, it’s time to fill your hot tub with fresh water. The proper method of filling involves using the filter housing as the entry point for the water. This method allows for the air to be forced out as the water flows through the pumps.
- Locate the filter housing, which is usually the highest point of the tub.
- Loosen any bleeder valves attached to the filter housing to release air.
- Connect your garden hose to the filter housing and turn on the water.
- As the tub fills, periodically check for leaks in unions and valves.
- If you’re refilling a winterized tub, this is a good time to check the tightened unions again.
Step 3: Cleaning and Maintenance
Once your hot tub is filled with fresh water, it’s essential to ensure proper cleaning and maintenance. Here are some important tasks to consider:
Step 3.1: Cleaning the Filters
The filters in your hot tub play a crucial role in keeping the water clean. Depending on the condition of your filters, you may need to clean or replace them.
- Remove the filters and rinse them off with a garden hose.
- If the filters are greasy or sticky, use a filter cleaner or degreaser.
- For thorough cleaning, soak the filters in a mixture of water and a hot tub filter degreaser.
- After cleaning, rinse the filters again with a garden hose before placing them back in the tub.
Step 3.2: Checking Unions and Valves
Inspect all the unions and valves in your hot tub to ensure they are tightened properly. Loose unions or valves can lead to leaks and affect the overall performance of the tub.
- Locate the unions on the pumps and heater.
- Use your hands to tighten them, and for an extra secure fit, use two hands to add a little more pressure.
- Check all gate valves and make sure they are open, allowing water to flow freely.
Step 4: Adding Essential Chemicals
Proper chemical maintenance is vital for maintaining clean and balanced water in your hot tub. Here are the essential chemicals you need to add:
Adjusting pH, Alkalinity, and Sanitizers
To achieve balanced water, you must adjust the pH and alkalinity levels. Additionally, sanitizers like chlorine or bromine are necessary to keep the water clean and free from bacteria. Follow these guidelines:
- Test the water using a test strip to determine the pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer levels.
- Use a pH increaser or decreaser to adjust the pH level as needed.
- Add a total alkalinity increaser to regulate the alkalinity level.
- Choose between chlorine, bromine, or non-chlorine shock as your preferred sanitizer.
- Follow the instructions on the chemical bottles to add the appropriate amounts based on your tub’s gallonage.
- Regularly monitor the water quality using dipstick tests or professional water testing.
FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
- How often should I drain and refill my hot tub? It is recommended to drain and refill your hot tub every three to four months to maintain clean and hygienic water.
- Can I use alternative sanitizers instead of chlorine or bromine? Yes, alternatives like mineral cartridges or ozone systems can be used, but ensure they are compatible with your hot tub and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
- How long should I let the tub run after refilling? It is advisable to let the tub run for approximately 10 minutes after refilling to flush out any air and debris from the lines.
- Should I clean or replace my filters? Cleaning the filters regularly is recommended. However, filters have a limited lifespan, so replacement may be necessary if they become damaged or excessively dirty.
- Can I use regular tap water to fill my hot tub? Yes, tap water can be used, but be aware of the mineral content. If you have hard water or high mineral levels, using a metal remover product is advisable.
Congratulations! You have successfully learned how to drain and refill your hot tub. By following the step-by-step process outlined in this guide, you can ensure that your hot tub is clean, balanced, and ready for a relaxing soak. Remember to regularly test and adjust the water chemistry, clean or replace the filters, and maintain the integrity of the tub’s components. With proper care, your hot tub will provide you with countless hours of enjoyment and relaxation. | <urn:uuid:50b9aa41-bbee-4eaf-add8-d58f58a0c42e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.pooladvisors.net/how-to-drain-and-refill-your-hot-tub/ | 2023-09-26T05:42:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.908864 | 1,343 |
Fly Me to Mars, Shuttle-Style
A rocket entrepreneur proposes a Mars ride for NASA's aging workhorses
NASA plans to donate or lend three of its space shuttles to museums in 2010 — but the co-founder of a rocket launch firm thinks the shuttles could help send humans to Mars.
Two space shuttles tethered together would pirouette around a center propulsion stage, providing artificial gravity for the crew. An accordion-style crew transfer conduit would connect the airlock hatches of both shuttles.
The modest proposal, titled “Mars on a Shoestring,” surfaced this week on the website of inventor Eric Knight. His aerospace firm, UP Aerospace, previously launched the ashes of Star Trek’s “Scotty,” James Doohan, and astronaut Gordon Cooper into space in 2007.
Mars pioneers could subsist on food grown through hydroponics gardens and rely on regenerative life-support systems similar to those on the space station, Knight claims. He admits to one catch: volunteers would resign themselves to becoming the first permanent residents of the Red Planet, barring follow-up missions to retrieve them.
Another potential difficulty receives less mention — studies have shown that deep space radiation poses a high level of risk to any Mars-bound crew.
Knight’s pioneering and conservationist spirit notwithstanding, NASA’s attention seems focused elsewhere these days. NASA administrator Mike Griffin plans to step down on Jan. 20, and the space agency’s plans for the Constellation program’s return to the moon could face overhaul by the incoming Obama administration.
Museums have also already begun clamoring for a shuttle-sized piece of history, despite the hefty price tag of $42 million required to prepare the vehicles for public viewing.
But even if Knight’s proposal gets filed in the dust bins of history, that doesn’t mean Mars will remain forever out-of-reach. PopSci recently paid a visit to the simulated Mars habitats of NASA’s Spaceward Bound program. And then there’s a very vocal former astronaut named Buzz who says it’s Mars, or bust. | <urn:uuid:89fdbc8c-f329-43bb-adde-8a110ade1b25> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.popsci.com/military-aviation-amp-space/article/2009-01/fly-me-mars-shuttle-style/ | 2023-09-26T05:37:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.907851 | 451 |
Stabbing Robot Works by Mind Control, Still Loses Japanese Gladiator Competition
An unusual combat robot controlled by neural signals made its debut at Japan's Robo-One competition
Future humans may look back on this mind-controlled stabbing robot as a forerunner to battle mechs and Gundams. But the one-armed stabber failed to win out in the latest Robo-One competition held in Toyama, Japan over the weekend.
The first combat robot controlled by neural signals arrived as the brainchild of Taku Ichikawa, a fourth-year student at the University of Electro-Communications in Tokyo. Its techniques for beating opponents comprise walking forward, rotating right, and using its single arm for stabbing.
Mainichi Daily News reports that Ichikawa controls the nearly 20-inch tall bipedal robot by using electrodes on his head that gauge his brain activity. The researcher originally developed the wireless control scheme for use with wheelchairs, so that users could command chairs using clear mental images. Such mental commands presumably establish a set pattern of neural signals that the electrodes detect and translate into the proper movement for chair or robot.
Novelty aside, the mind-controlled robo-gladiator can only carry out three commands such as walking forward, rotating right and using its arm to make stabbing attacks. Ichikawa tried to compensate for the control scheme’s limitations by installing onboard sensors that allow the robot to automatically get up from a fall, or open its clamp-like fingertips to menace approaching enemies.
It’s still a long ways from the responsive mobile suits or combat exoskeletons of science fiction, which may explain why a more conventionally controlled robot bested the competition.

Gaz du Cameroun (GDC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Victoria Oil & Gas (VOG), has signed a non-binding term sheet with Aksa Enerji Uretim (Aksa Energy) to supply up to 25 million standard cubic feet per day of gas for the latter’s proposed power station.
The 150MW power station will be built in Douala, Cameroon near the Bekoko substation, which is close to GDC’s existing gas pipeline network.
Earlier this month, Cameroon Minister of Water Resources and Energy, on behalf of the Government of the Republic of Cameroon signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Aksa Energy to develop the power plant project.
Victoria Oil & Gas CEO Ahmet Dik said: “Considerable progress has been made in our Gas-to-Power strategy, as evidenced by the term sheet signed with Aksa Energy, one of the largest global independent power producers.
“Upon commencement, which is planned for late 2020, production levels would dwarf the current level of gas sales and propel VOG into a profitable trajectory of growth which has always been our aim.
“Much work and effort by all stakeholders have gone into progressing this project and I am confident the additional power expected to be generated will be highly beneficial for the Cameroonian people and the economy as Douala continues to attract industry into the busy port town.”
Completion of the term sheet is subject to government approvals and the signing of a power purchase agreement (PPA) by Aksa Energy with Eneo Cameroon (ENEO) or Sonatrel.
Some of the key commercial terms between Aksa Energy and GDC include a gas price of $6.75 per metric million British thermal units for a term of 25 years, with an option to extend for an additional five years and 70% take or pay component.
With an operational base in the port city of Douala, Gaz du Cameroun is a fully integrated producer and distributor of onshore gas. | <urn:uuid:0838bdb4-071f-470a-86c5-b9efa51e2450> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.power-technology.com/news/gaz-du-cameroun-aksa-energy/ | 2023-09-26T07:25:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.943568 | 422 |
What would you think of someone who got sued, lost in court, and celebrated the loss? You’d think there is something seriously amiss. In fact this has been the longstanding practice of a number of federal agencies, who actively cooperate with activist groups (invariably on the left) to set up lawsuits against agencies that result in the agencies having more power and instituting more regulations.
To give a good example, when the EPA lost the 2007 case of Massachusetts vs. EPA (that was the one that said the EPA could regulate greenhouse gas emissions), employees at EPA opened champagne to celebrate their “loss” at the Supreme Court. Much of the time these legal actions never actually make it very far in court, because the agency will “settle” with the plaintiffs through a consent decree, which means in practice that the agency conveniently consents to having more power. It is called “sue and settle,” but I call this “crony administration.” Much of the time these faux lawsuits are filed with the active participation of the agency, making a mockery of the rule of law.
This corrupt racket has been going on for 30 years or more, and neither of the previous Bush administrations did anything to stop it. Last week EPA administrator Scott Pruitt said the EPA would end the practice. Pruitt’s announcement reads, in part: “The days of this regulation through litigation, are terminated. The EPA will not resolve litigation through backroom deals with any type of special interest group.” Pruitt also announced steps to increase transparency about all matters under litigation—lifting the veil on this whole racket—so people can see what the activist groups are trying to do. I am sure environmental groups are in a rage about this, but are remaining remarkably quiet because they likely know that greater public transparency about this racket is the last thing they want.
Pruitt issued a sparkling good memo explaining more of the legal and constitutional background of his step. My favorite part of this memo are footnotes 8, 9, and 10, where Pruitt cites the Federalist Papers and other founders on the importance of the separation of powers, which the administrative state has been trampling for decades. This has to be the first time an EPA administrator has ever cited The Federalist in an official document. I imagine Gina McCarthy, Obama’s EPA head, probably never heard of The Federalist.
Here are he footnotes in full:
8 In The Federalist Number 47, James Madison wrote: One of the principal objections inculcated by the more respectable adversaries to the constitution, is its supposed violation of the political maxim, that the legislative, executive and judiciary departments ought to be separate and distinct. In the structure of the federal government, no regard, it is said, seems to have been paid to this essential precaution in favor of liberty. The several departments of power are distributed and blended in such a manner, as at once to destroy all symmetry and beauty of form; and to expose some of the essential parts of the edifice to the danger of being crushed by the disproportionate weight of other parts. No political truth is certainly of greater intrinsic value or is stamped with the authority of more enlightened patrons of liberty than that on which the objection is founded. The accumulation of all powers legislative, executive and judiciary in the same hands, whether of one, a few or many, and whether hereditary, self appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny. Were the federal constitution therefore really chargeable with this accumulation of power or with a mixture of powers having a dangerous tendency to such an accumulation, no further arguments would be necessary to inspire a universal reprobation of the system. I persuade myself however, that it will be made apparent to every one, that the charge cannot be supported, and that the maxim on which it relies, has been totally misconceived and misapplied. In order to form correct ideas on this important subject, it will be proper to investigate the sense, in which the preservation of liberty requires, that the three great departments of power should be separate and distinct. The Federalist No. 47 (James Madison) (emphasis added).
9 “The leading principle of our Constitution is the independence of the Legislature, Executive and Judiciary of each other.” Thomas Jefferson to George Hay, 1807. FE 9:59 (emphasis added). “The Constitution intended that the three great branches of the government should be co-ordinate and independent of each other. As to acts, therefore, which are to be done by either, it has given no control to another branch. . . . Where different branches have to act in their respective lines, finally and without appeal, under any law, they may give to it different and opposite constructions. . . . From these different constructions of the same act by different branches, less mischief arises than from giving to any one of them a control over the others.” Thomas Jefferson to George Hay, 1807. ME 11:213 (emphasis added).
10 “The separation of powers inside a government – and each official’s concern that he may be replaced by someone with a different agenda – creates incentives to use the judicial process to obtain an advantage. The consent decree is an important element in the strategy. . . . It is impossible for an agency to promulgate a regulation containing a clause such as ‘My successor cannot amend this regulation.’ But if the clause appears in a consent decree, perhaps the administrator gets his wish to dictate the policies of his successor.” Frank Easterbrook, Justice and Contract in Consent Judgments, 1987 U. Chi. L. Forum 19, 33-34 (1987).

Our goal for Walk for Water 2013 was to raise $10,000. This amount would provide two clean water wells for Touch A Life, another 501(c)3 organization. We want to thank everyone who came out and walked, donated, and/or helped us spread the word about Walk for Water 2013.
Don't forget to check out our Walk of Fame page. It lists the names of the brave people who challenged themselves to walk with the five gallon bucket and made it through the entire 5K. Some even did it Ghanaian style with the bucket on their head! | <urn:uuid:73e02705-3678-47a5-a0c9-6d84859bd50c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.preciouschildfoundation.org/blog/it-is-well | 2023-09-26T05:10:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.97209 | 318 |
workflows with custom UI
scenarios with work instructions
objects with functional/technical specs
Strong sales performance across a diverse portfolio of brands created opportunities for operational improvements to support customers served by multiple lines of business and requests for consolidated invoicing. The question was posed: could Johnson & Johnson expect to bring all the operating companies under a common supply chain solution? The answer was obscured by the disparity in how data was defined and how the systems of record were aligned among more than 50 production ERP systems. The absence of data standards and organizational ownership among data attributes further obscured the line of sight to successful process improvement and consolidation of systems. This gap in business insight was a clear trigger for an information governance strategy to establish clarity around ownership, definition and policy to support the increasing need for trustworthy insight and efficient global processes.
The Precisely team provided a vision and strategy for a common organization aligned to support business data needs across all operating companies and lines of business. The effort was driven by support and visibility at the board level with executive support within each operating business across the organization. The process was a two-month iterative review of strategic objectives and vision requirements. Concurrently a large management consulting strategy firm worked with business leaders on an overall vision for supply chain realignment and operational improvement, as well as the business case for change. The primary risk identified by the strategy firm was, you guessed it, data and information integrity.
- 27 workflows with custom UI, validation/derivations
- Work instructions for 75 scenarios supported through SAP & non-SAP Enterprise Information Management (EIM) tools
- Functional design specifications and technical design specifications documents for 34 objects
“We needed a partner who was practical and would help build a framework that was accepted and embraced. Precisely didn’t try to fit us into a box, they understood that one size does not fit all.”
The Precisely team was engaged as the sole provider of Enterprise Information Management strategy charged with building out a global data governance board, change management planning and development cycle for policies and procedures. The strategy cycle was a focused 8 week effort with a strong emphasis on organizational design and preparation. The results of the initial strategy provided enough confidence to both the supply chain strategy partner and board level executives to approve the enterprise supply chain redesign
After facilitating approval of the enterprise level Data Governance Board and Charter, Precisely led analysis and planning workstreams to organize and coordinate the newly formed organization and establish a program focus to a collection of project efforts. A foundational capability for the newly formed enterprise data and analytics organization was the ability to capture their data governance design in Precisely Data360 and publish views of that design to support ERP selection/implementation, MDM optimization and EIM solution acceleration. The Precisely team provided additional knowledge transfer and supportive leadership in the creation of change control procedures, common data elements that would serve as candidates for standardization, scorecard metrics to measure each data domain, region, and process area, team member selection, risk review and executive coaching and guidance. | <urn:uuid:f9d144ba-2813-4e74-b7b0-04aa0f15a0dd> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.precisely.com/resource-center/customerstories/johnson-and-johnson-building-the-business-case-for-change | 2023-09-26T05:56:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.955597 | 650 |
Tim Mahoney: 311 Comes Full Circle
After two decades of making funk-metal with his buds, 311's guitarist is excited about the band's first release on 311 Records.
Tim Mahoney is a cheerful dude. You can’t blame him—he’s coming up on some enjoyable milestones. For starters, he just welcomed his first son, Tim Jr., in late 2013. And he’s been playing guitar in the ska-funk-metal band 311 with the same homeboys from Omaha, Nebraska, for more than 20 years. For the group’s 11th studio album, Stereolithic, 311 reunited with producer Scott Ralston for the first time since Transistor and Soundsystem in the late ’90s.
“We’re the happiest, most content we’ve been as a unit in a long time, and I think that, combined with reconnecting with Scott [Ralston] as our producer, made this last album cycle a really fruitful, fun time,” says Mahoney. “We’ve always been a close band, but we have our own families, friends, and lives outside of the band and sometimes that takes precedent—as it should. But right now we’re all in a good place and it’s hopefully felt in our music and live shows.”
The band released Stereolithic on March 11, or 3/11—a date that has become an annual holiday for the band, celebrated with special extended performances in a different city each year. Surprisingly, this is the first time 311 has released an album on March 11, and it also marks the first release on the band’s new label, 311 Records. Mahoney recorded his parts at the home studio of SA Martinez (vocals, turntables).
“We all kind of recorded in our most comfortable environments this time. I love the Hive, our studio in L.A., but it was nice for me to record at SA’s house because we live in the same area so traffic and the commute wasn’t bumming me out when I was going in to record [laughs],” says Mahoney. “It’s funny, back when we started we fought, clawed, and grinded to get a major label deal, and now two decades later we’re liberated to go full circle where we’re still making music we’re proud of and releasing it ourselves to get to the fans a lot easier, quicker, and smoother.”
As a guitarist in 311, Mahoney combines interpretations of reggae and metal—his two favorite kinds of music—sometimes in the same song. Take, for instance, 311’s “Sweet,” Transistor’s “No Control,” and Evolver’s “Beyond The Gray Sky.” The new music continues the tradition of mixing a Marley-esque Kaya vibe, sonically moving from tranquil beachside jam to ’80s metal with harmonized solos and pick squeals.
“My favorite guitarists are probably Bob Marley or Jerry Garcia, and Dimebag Darrell of Pantera,” says Mahoney. “So for me to be able to incorporate both my musical loves into our band has pretty much been a dream come true.”
Lucky for him, his band of brothers enables his pedal addiction. Constantly.
“Pedals can be inspirational,” Mahoney testifies. “The main riff of Stereolithic’s “Revelation of the Year” came when I stumbled upon a combination of phaser, vibe, and chorus that breathed new life into an old riff I’ve been sitting on for years. I’m just lucky I’m in the band that not only understands my pedal love, but encourages it [laughs].”
In between dad duties and rehearsals, the perpetually upbeat Mahoney spoke about his mahogany-bodied guitar preference, the ins and outs of his complex pedalboard setup, and what acid and Jerry Garcia have to do with his favorite stompbox.
Last time we talked you were using a Diamond Spitfire II for your dirty tones. Is that still the case on Stereolithic?
All the high-gain sounds on this album are a ’90s Bogner Uberschall and a Diamond Spitfire II. Recently I got my hands on a PRS Custom amp and I couldn’t believe how great the overdrive sounded, so we used that quite a bit, too.
Are you still using a ’63 AC30 for your clean tones?
Nope, this time I paired one of my Spitfire II heads with a Lexicon PCM-42 in its effects loop and an early ’68 Fender Twin—it has the silverface front panel but the components and guts are of the AB763 circuit.
Why the switch from the AC30?
I’ve always had Fender amps in my personal stash, but I got hip to a great vintage AC30 when we worked with Bob Rock on Uplifter and Universal Pulse. I loved blending in tones with that combo. I tracked at S.A.’s house about 90 minutes north of our rehearsal space in L.A., which is where my Vox was. So I just used my Twin that I had out of necessity and it turned out to be some of the best tones I’ve recorded to date.
Tim Mahoney runs three signal paths through his pedalboard, and often uses multiple brands of the same effects for different flavors through different amps. Still, he says he uses everything on his board.
Why are you a big user of the two-amp (or more) setup for recording clean and then two more for dirty?
I really enjoy the complement meshing and a fatter, wider spread the two amps give a recorded guitar track. Each head is routed through its own 4x12 and our producer Scott Ralston mics each cabinet with two mics—and all four mics are different—so when we’re mixing we have an entire collection of choices that we can queue up, dial back, isolate, and mix to best suit the overall song.
Are the similar output tubes a concern? Both amps use EL34s.
I’ve found that even if you have two of the same exact amps, they produce a distinct tone all their own. So with the Spitfire and Uberschall having the same tube layout, they still produce unique sounds because the brand of tubes is different, and the wiring, transformers, and capacitors are all different, too.
What about your live rig?
We pretty much used my live rig to record my parts. The only thing we indulged on was adding amps to thicken the sound and provide more options in post. I used my live pedalboard and my go-to guitars that I still take on the road. For amps, I’ll just be using a Spitfire II for clean and probably the Uberschall for dirty, which will be her first time on the road so I’ll have to extra nice to her [laughs].
Did you track predominantly with “Ol Blue”—your early ’90s PRS Standard 24?
Oh yeah, Blue was the main dog again [laughs]. I got the Paul Reed Smith Signature Limited last year and it has these pickups (the bridge is oversized and the neck is a tad undersized) that make it sound monstrous like a Les Paul so I used that a bit on the heavier parts. For the clean parts, I primarily used my Fender David Gilmour Stratocaster.
Last time we talked you were using modern humbuckers, but looking to dive into the world of PAF-style ’buckers. Has that happened yet?
I tried out and really liked Seymour Duncan’s Antiquity humbuckers designed after the Seth Lover pickups from the ’50s. I actually put PRS 57/08s in all of my main PRS guitars and I love them. Everything I try to go after when it comes to guitars and pickups is based on what I love in my ’76 Gibson Explorer that has its original PAF pickups. Another guitar I use as a benchmark for tone is my early ’70s Fender Telecaster Deluxe with the Lover-designed Wide Range humbuckers.
You seem to prefer using older, mahogany-based guitars with lower-output pickups. Why is that?
Typically, guys might think they want high-output pickups through a high-gain amp for the best, most aggressive sound, but I need to balance between very, crystal-clean chill parts and heavy-rocking jams. The lower-output pickups have clarity and leave an open, dynamic range—especially with the high-gain stuff—that you lose if you push everything to the max. I think it gives you more room to use overdrives and boosts because if you’re using active or high-output humbuckers, you’re eating up a lot of frequency space just from their power. It takes the tone out of the wood, amp, and effects.
What are you using on the solo of “First Dimension” to get that nasally, pitch-shifting, phased-out quality?
There were no time constraints like when you rent studio time so we procrastinated and the solo on “First Dimension” was the spontaneous last take I did after about 100 other solos. I didn’t realize until I listened back that the delay time on the PCM-42 was cranked so it starts to wash out a bit, which is something I didn’t intend to do at all, but it was a happy accident. The pitch shifting you’re hearing is my Boss OC-2 pedal running through the dirty Uberschall/Spitfire II setup.
Watch 311’s entire set from the 2011 KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas show to fully appreciate Mahoney’s chameleonic range, from ska to funk to metal.
“Friday Afternoon” starts out real tranquil and ends up like a raging ’80s rocker from the strip. How did that song come to be?
That is a song Nick wrote before rehearsals and it’s funny because he’s a very relaxed, centered dude. So for him to exhibit this hard side—which I love because I’m a metalhead from Omaha—was interesting and funny because he’s not really into that scene as a music fan. It gave me a chance to work out some scales and brush up on my pinch-harmonic squeals [laughs].
Another song with heavier vibes is “The Great Divide”—you really flex your metal muscle.
I love pinch harmonics and I try to incorporate them in the live setting, but this album I was able to put some in that felt timely and appropriate with the overall song. Whether it’s spacey interludes or more aggressive tones, we’re a bit more reserved when we record and push things to the extreme live. But “The Great Divide” was a riff I’ve had worked up for years and we implemented an old, unused drumbeat from Chad [Sexton] to salvage our two separate, incoherent ideas into a complete song. It was a fun challenge working that into shape with the basis of a cool riff and fresh beat.
How do you feel collaborating with Scott Ralston again shaped Stereolithic?
It was a comfort thing. He’s been around us the longest and he’s been our live sound guy forever, so he knew how to craft things and push us in a new direction or further in a familiar area to deliver an album that is polished but represents our dynamic range showcased when we perform live.
One thing I’ve noticed on this album that hasn’t been felt since the ’90s is the power of the songs. I can envision them energizing crowds to get down. Was that a specific goal with the heavier tracks on Stereolithic?
I hope so—we really try to keep the liveliness of certain songs in mind when we write, record, and come up with setlists because we want our fans to get off their feet to jump, dance, and have a good time—that’s our main goal as a band. [Laughs] It’s not as easy to go there anymore now that we’re older dudes, but I think this new batch of songs should really capture and excite our fans like the early stuff.
Mahoney recorded his guitar parts in the home studio of bandmate SA Martinez. The members of 311 transplanted from Omaha, Nebraska, to Van Nuys, California, in the early ’90s.
What is going on during the opening of “Sand Dollar” that gives the song such a video-game buoyancy vibe?
That’s my Mu-Tron III paired with a PCM-42 dialed in with a fairly long delay time. The Mu-Tron III is great by itself, but in that instance the PCM-42 gives those repeated notes such life instead of sounding sterile or repeated.
The Mu-Tron is a special beast that not many people mess with. How’d you fall in love with it?
I love Jerry Garcia so being a deadhead opened the door to the Mu-Tron. I remember tripping on acid and hearing songs like "Delta Dawn," "Estimated Prophet," and “Run for the Roses,” and being just blown away [laughs]. I started playing music on a trombone and the envelope filter can dial in some horn-like tones and sounds. I just totally dig the expressiveness you can get with it depending on your picking style or attack. You can get it to quack or mellow and fade into the mix. When I realized Jerry used the Mu-Tron III I knew it was my holy grail.
Are you using a different envelope filter on “Boom Shanka?”
I’m using a vintage MXR Envelope Filter on that song. I track with that as my go-to dirty envelope filter effect since it’s really warm and almost lends itself to being overdriven. The Mu-Tron works fine through a dirty amp, but I prefer to leave that one pristine because it’s that classic sound. I set the MXR so the effect is more exaggerated, but the length of each pulse isn’t nearly as long as the Mu-Tron.
Is that why you have so many duplicates of pedal types on your board?
Yeah, I pretty much run three different signal paths on my pedalboard. One goes through my clean amp. The second goes through my dirty amp. And the third goes through my “party board”—which can go through either head—that has fun effects like ambient ’verbs, long delays, and a looper. Thanks to Dave Phillips at L.A. Sound Design who rigged this up for me so I could go from a tone with my clean amp, the Mu-Tron III and a long delay like my Maxon AD-9 to a sound with my dirty amp, Boss OC-2, and TC Electronic Nova Delay—on a short delay time—by hitting one button … otherwise I’d need a lot more feet onstage.
I prefer to set and use pedals so they can sound the best for what I feel they can do. Like, with my phasers, I think the MXR Phase 90 is great for either clean or dirty so I start it on the dirty side set to a quicker setting, and the EHX Small Stone is at its best through a clean amp so I use that for a watery, almost-Leslie-ish vibe and for a reggae tone. But some pedals sound killer and they can go to both amps like the XTS Pegasus Boost—good for a level boost and giving me more clarity depending on the room—and my MXR Phase 90, but it’s currently only going into the dirty amp so I can have a subtle or luscious phase effect.
Both heads have Lexicon PCM-42 delays in their effects loops so I can have the purest sound when I just want an amp and delay. Plus, putting those digital rackmounts after the preamp gives you the cleanest, straightest-sounding delay. It’s more important for the dirty amp because I’m using it on solos so I’m delaying the preamp signal and it thickens it up a bit, too. I’ve heard you’re supposed to jumper the effects loop if you’re not using it to engage the preamp tube that governs the master volume for a bigger, fuller sound.
What are you using during the swirling, creeping riff that blooms before the first verse of “Revelation of the Year?”
We put that song together on the demo and when we tried recreating it in the studio, I couldn’t remember what I was using when I came up with the riff originally, jamming by myself. So I ended up playing that part through the Small Stone, Mega Vibe, and the Ibanez CS-7 chorus. And then for some of it, I squish it with the TS9.
Does that happen a lot?
Many times, I’ll take a picture of my pedalboard with the pedals lit up so I know what I’m using when I record something into my phone or my computer and I queue it up a few months later. And then when we record, I’ll take detailed notes along with photos so I can dial in my rig before the tour or rehearsals. It’s like a crazy science experiment [laughs].
Honestly, do you have too much stuff?
I don’t see it like that at all … probably not enough. Currently, everything I bring on the road gets used at every show—all the effects, guitars, and amps. I’m streamlined!
I don’t think I could trust anyone else to do it. I enjoy being able to screw with things on the fly, even if it’s just bending down or using my foot to max out a delay so it starts oscillating [makes spaceship landing noise] and sounds like its powering down. | <urn:uuid:40f7c1e4-749d-4f70-bc36-78e89b158a37> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.premierguitar.com/artists/tim-mahoney-311-comes-full-circle | 2023-09-26T05:13:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.948836 | 3,902 |
By itself, science is a worthwhile pursuit. But it becomes much more valuable when it can be applied for the benefit of millions.
That was the philosophy instilled in Dr. Anna Giuliano early in her life. Growing up in Manhattan, she was exposed to plenty of cultural and social groups, many of whom had little or no access to medical care. It’s those people for whom she holds a soft spot in her heart.
“I was raised with a strong sense of service to the community,” she said. “And in college I was surrounded by the same way of thinking. I became very committed in the areas I knew could make a difference in people’s lives.”
Though she first started out in nutrition research, it was while working on a project that intersected nutrition and cervical cancer that she began to hit her stride. Though at that time there was suspicion within the research community that human papillomavirus (HPV) was the primary cause of cervical cancer, it wasn’t until nearly 10 years later, in the mid-90s, that the science was there to back up the claim.
Dr. Giuliano really came alive when it became known cervical cancer was overwhelmingly caused by a viral infection. As a graduate student who’d also studied epidemiology, this is where she knew she could make a difference. She had found her calling in medicine.
“After reading all the literature I could get my hands on at that point, I knew then that I only wanted to work on cancer,” she said. “Cervical cancer affected a lot of women, and especially underserved women. It was the most important cancer for women internationally, and to work on it satisfied all the needs I had to do something that would make a great impact.”
You had to count on the fact that you were trained well as a scientist, and then apply what you knew. We were really breaking new ground.
Over the next few years, she was at the University of Arizona and worked closely with several other researchers who recognized the potential for dramatically reducing the instance of cervical cancer through a specialized vaccine. But to stand a chance of getting anywhere, they needed funding.
It just so happened the director of the cancer prevention program at Arizona, Dr. Dave Alberts, was already very familiar with the Prevent Cancer Foundation.
“He said, ‘You know, you should submit this project.’ And so we did. The very first funding we received was from the Foundation.” And with that, the team was off and running.
Their project was so promising, the Foundation awarded it a second grant to continue the work. But there were still times when Dr. Giuliano and her colleagues were afraid they were never going to find what they were looking for.
“It was trial by fire,” she said. “You had to count on the fact that you were trained well as a scientist, and then apply what you knew. We were really breaking new ground.”
What eventually came out of that research was the groundwork for the production of the HPV vaccine that’s on the market now, effectively offering protection for millions of women worldwide.
“I can say, ‘I did it.’ It’s amazing; as a postdoctoral researcher I had an idea, and it was a really ambitious idea. To be able to fulfill that dream is incredible,” she said.
Dr. Giuliano is hopeful this progress will encourage other researchers to look at infections and preventive vaccines in a new light. Now a professor and the director of cancer prevention at H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute in Tampa, Florida, she looks back and realizes she and her team were very fortunate.
“To be able to carry out this massive amount of work that’s had this tremendous impact with a relatively small pot of money is exciting,” she said. “It was exciting for us, and it’s exciting for others to get this kind of support.” | <urn:uuid:938d79f9-73ef-43b9-b5a2-38edc28e3aea> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.preventcancer.org/research/researcher-profiles-archived/anna-giuliano/ | 2023-09-26T06:12:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.990682 | 849 |
The concept of using Airbnb for business travel management is compelling.
In recent years, Airbnb has made a push to make it even more compelling. Yet, that aspect of their platform is far from dialed at this point. It still takes a considerable amount of time to find, compare, and book your business travel accomodations on their site.
With that in mind, I recently created an Airbnb Business Travel Search Tool to help business owners and executives overcome the major roadblocks I’ve experienced while using Airbnb for anything but vacation travel.
Take a look...
If you’re a small business owner, you likely appreciate the savings inherent in booking your travel accommodations through Airbnb. I know I do.
Dollar for dollar, your money goes further on Airbnb.
why professionals love AIRBNB FOR BUSINESS TRAVEL
For example, when a 3 or 4 star hotel is trading at $300 to $400 per night in San Francisco or New York, a similarly charming property on Airbnb with amenities and in an upscale or central neighborhood might be trading for less than half.
If you are traveling as an employee, you’ll surely appreciate how far your travel budget can stretch on Airbnb. Beyond that, the Airbnb property will almost certainly go beyond the cookie-cutter experience you’ll find at those brand hotels, which is a major plus for many of us. Your Airbnb host will likely be more personable than the hotel clerk, providing you with locally sourced opportunities to see lesser-known neighborhoods, cafés, restaurants, parks and more in your destination city.
This incredible access to quality-rich, competitive properties gives the Airbnb platform a serious leg up, and makes it great for business travel for the same reason it is great for vacation travel: it affords us “savings and soul.”
Of course, Airbnb knows that the property you choose to accommodate your business travel must have certain features such as great reviews, responsive and committed hosts, self check-in, reliable wifi, hangers, an iron, shampoo and other amenities you might expect at a business hotel. Thus, they created a portal that shows only listings containing these features, including listings of entire homes.
All this helps eliminate the variability that is the enemy of business travel while imparting a sense of uniqueness, adventure, and savings that are the hallmark of Airbnb attractiveness.
the major impediment to using Airbnb for business travel
There is still a major impediment to using Airbnb for business travel management, and that is the site itself.
A single search can call up hundreds of listings, with detailed descriptions and reviews that you must sift through in order to find your hidden gem. This can be a fun experience when you’re planning a personal vacation for yourself, with friends, or with family.
But paging through these listings when you're looking to book accomodations for business travel is nothing less than a time suck.
Within minutes of considering accomodations on Airbnb for a business trip, I’ve found myself with a half dozen tabs open, clicking between them to decide which one is the perfect fit, forgeting which ones I've already bookmarked in my head as feasible options. It's exhausting and frustrating. Because the number one goal when booking business accomodations is efficiency. We all need efficiency around booking, checking in, and finding a good night’s sleep in a location that's conveniently located near your meetings or scheduled event.
i created this spreadsheet to help myself - and you!
To help facilitate all this, and to avoid logging into Airbnb and sinking too much work time into research, I’ve created the following spreadsheet for my virtual administrative assistant to fill in for me. I’ve purposely limited the options to a total of ten. That way, I can enjoy a bit of the Airbnb research experience without getting sucked into endless, distracting, and time-consuming browsing.
free Airbnb Business Travel search tool
1. Trip Label: type destination city and dates
2. G - I Columns: Use Google maps for columns labeled Distance From, Driving Time, and Time Searched. Put in the destination of your first (or most important) meeting during your trip, and add the cross street that is listed in the center of the Airbnb location circle.
3. Comments Column: Scan reviews for any comments relevant to business travel (noise level, professionalism of host, location, and access), and include any key points.
4. Total Costs Column: Don’t include the daily rate. Instead, include total costs that reflect all the charges for your stay.
Your unique Airbnb experience does not start when you get to the property. It actually starts when you begin using the Airbnb website. How much time you spend getting sucked into that website is up to you...
My hope is that you find the above spreadsheet immensely helpful for booking your business travel accommodations and simplifying your travel management overall. | <urn:uuid:7cdbc93b-a412-45d5-ba97-4d5ae5335749> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.prialto.com/blog/how-to-search-airbnb-for-business-travel-management-free-online-tool | 2023-09-26T06:20:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.934436 | 1,023 |
Dam Safety Coordination
Dam Emergency Action Plan
Prince George's County Government is the Owner of twenty High Hazard and Significant Hazard Dams within the County, and is responsible for the routine monitoring, inspection, and maintenance of the dams.
The twenty dams are listed below and each dam has an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) that alert property owners the likelihood of eminent danger and reduces the risk of human life loss and injury and minimizes property damage during an unusual or emergency event.

There are three emergency levels.
Emergency Level 1
This is a non-emergency, unusual event, slowly developing, e.g., the elevation of the dam is rising. Technical representatives/inspectors are sent out to monitor the dam for a potential or imminent dam failure situation.
Emergency Level 2
Potential dam failure situation, rapidly developing. Technical representatives/inspectors closely monitor the condition of the dam and periodically report the status of the situation to the Dam Operator. If the conditions worsen and dam failure is imminent, the Dam Operator immediately notifies the Emergency Management Director of the change, and if necessary, recommends full or partial activation of the Emergency Operations Center.
Emergency Level 3
Urgent, dam failure appears to be imminent or in progress. This is an extremely urgent situation when the failure cannot be prevented. The Dam Operator will immediately contact the Emergency Management Director to put plans in place for evacuation of all at risk people, and close all roads that will be affected.

Why Your Talent is Holding You BackOct 21, 2019
Ahh… what a blessing it is to be naturally gifted. Feels special doesn’t it? Things come naturally…you learn faster than most. It comes easy to you. Sound familiar? Then all of a sudden a new thing comes, a thing you’re not comfortable with, and you are enraged. You quickly throw your hands up in the air huffing and puffing that you JUST CANNOT figure this out. You even tried for a whole 5 minutes.
“If I didn’t get this right away, I must not be meant to do this!!” THAT is the curse of natural talent. Natural talent has spoiled you.
Here’s the thing….It is not the most gifted or talented that will win. It is the person who works the hardest. The last on the treadmill.
I hear so many artists complaining that less talented artists are getting further than them as if talent is the only ingredient it takes to be successful in this business. This is not true of any business, and music is no exception.
I was lucky enough to be born with music in me. I could harmonize before I knew what harmony was. My great grandma loves to tell me the story of hearing a wind chime going off in the breeze and little 4 year old me looking at her saying “that’s a C”. I took to the piano and guitar like a fish to water.
But can I be honest? I had NO freaking idea how to write or produce a song. Now, while I did grow up in a musical household, it was more about learning (and emulating) the greats. Jazz standards, Mozart, Bach, etc. But songwriting wasn’t something we did.
So as I entered my early 20’s I found myself learning a lot of covers, and even joining a couple cover bands.
It wasn’t that I wanted to be a cover artist, I just had this idea that because songwriting didn’t come ‘naturally’ to me, that I must not be a good songwriter.
And then when I would get little bursts of inspiration, I would try to write them and of course they would come out amateur sounding, not cohesive, and that would just solidify my belief. “See, you’re just not a good songwriter!"
(BTW-I’m sure some songwriters ARE born that way. Perhaps Bob Dylan came out of the womb with a pen and guitar in hand…ouch.)
Eventually, after learning hundreds of cover songs and doing everything from fronting a Led Zeppelin tribute band to joining a top 40 cover band in Asia, I knew I had music of my own in me I HAD to get out.
Not knowing where to start, I meditated, I prayed, and eventually a couple books landed in my lap.
“The Artist’s Way” by Julia Cameron, “Do the Work” by Steven Pressfield, and “Writing Better Letter Lyrics” by Pat Pattison. Holy F Balls. You mean, I can show up, put in the work, and GROW my craft at being a writer? I don’t have to be BORN WITH IT?! I also didn’t realize that the amateur writing waits for inspiration and the pro writer HUNTS it down. My mind was blown.
I spent the next several years studying the craft and writing my heart out.
Now, I write and produce about 20 songs a month, and I get paid upfront money to do it. Whether I’m composing for a corporate client, writing for a commercial, or ad spot, or toplining to a track from a DJ in Europe.
A lot of people have been asking me for tips on how to go full time with their music.
I certainly don’t have all the answers, but if I could give one nugget here it is:
You have to treat it like a job before it becomes your job.
Stop waiting for inspirado to strike and hunt that mutha down. Do the work. LIKE A BOSS. | <urn:uuid:8abe304a-3ec0-466e-bd21-f017280aea86> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.producelikeaboss.com/blog/why-your-talent-is-holding-you-back | 2023-09-26T07:01:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.970216 | 889 |

The New York Giants come into the 2019 season with long shot odds to win the Super Bowl. While those odds can be chalked up to a loaded NFC, the Giants also have a lot of question marks. Eli Manning continues to retain the starting quarterback position, at least for now. Daniel Jones was the main picked top ten in the draft to prepare the position for the future. Looking into futures odds, the Giants are +1000 to even win the division. Those odds are tied with the Washington Redskins for the worst within the NFC East. With those odds set, I’m sure you could ballpark the odds to win the Super Bowl.
New York Giants 2019 Odds
(Via FanDuel Sportsbook)
Make Playoffs: +560
Win Division: +1000
To Win NFC: +3400
To Win Super Bowl: +7000
New York Giants Outlook
The Giants are coming off of a 5-11 season where they finished dead last in the division. They were one of the worst teams in the NFC, and a lot of it fell on the quarterback play of Eli Manning. While he is a two-time Super Bowl champion, the Giants continue to be delusional sticking with Manning. His arm seemed to be toast, ranking bottom ten in average depth of target last season. If you watched the Giants, Manning struggled to get the ball to wide receivers down field. Combining this with the departure of Odell Beckham Jr, who was traded to the Browns in the offseason, the Giants passing game is going to continue to be bottom half.
Saquon Barkley lived up to the hype in 2018, and will take on a heavy workload again in 2019. There is a concern with Barkley just seeing loaded boxes in comparison to last season. With little respect for the passing game, we could potentially see Barkley seeing 8+ man boxes more in 2019. The weapons around Barkley and Manning are decent, but they will certainly miss OBJ. Golden Tate fits well into what the Giants passing attack has done. Tate isn’t a deep threat route runner, and thrives in yards after the catch. They will hope this pairs with Manning who seemingly can’t throw more than 20 yards down field.
Odell Beckham Jr. Trade
OBJ is coming off a 77-1052-6 line in 2018, and were limited by injuries and bad quarterback play. There seemed to be a motive to push OBJ out of New York. This was a massive offseason trade, and the Giants are now in a cloud of trading a top five wide receiver in the league when healthy. However, we can analyze the New York return on the trade. In return the Giants received the No. 17 overall pick, No. 95 pick, and Jabrill Peppers. The first pick turned into Dexter Lawrence, and the 95th pick went to Oshane Ximines. Are they immediate difference makers in year one? Probably not. While we can let this trade play out, the Giants at the moment are coming off as the losers in the deal.
A Focus On Defense
Outside of the Daniel Jones pick, the Giants took seven defensive players out of ten draft picks. They missed out on a major edge rusher, and that 6th pick would have been nice to use on one. They did draft Ximines in the third round, who has some potential. The secondary has some potential improvement. They drafted Deandre Baker with the 30th pick and took Julian Love in the 4th round. Both were great values. The Giants allowed 25.8 points per game, and they will need to improve this number to start the rebuild process to get back on top. Names like Antoine Bethea and Markus Golden coming over from the Cardinals have some big red flags with injuries. This is a temporary signing to fill a need before revisiting down the line.
Can The Giants Be A Surprise?
Short answer is, no. However, the Giants could improve on five wins from last season. The Giants have an O/U of six wins set by FanDuel Sportsbook. In terms of opponent’s winning percentage, the Giants have an easy schedule. Opponents in 2018 had a .473 winning percentage, which was tied for 27th. When you break down the division, the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles are in better spots to win the division and move on. You also have to think the NFC is just loaded with talent as well. Last year’s NFC wild card teams won nine and ten games.
To think the Giants are going to have a 4-5 win increase is a bit farfetched. There are better teams to take chances on if you are looking for a bigger payout. Within the next few years, the Giants should be on the rise if they can get the quarterback position situated. This is a rebuild project, and it is hard to see a rebuilding team in this state finish in the top six in the NFC. | <urn:uuid:b19d0ac4-8325-485e-b3a1-c016037fe1d1> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.promocodesus.com/new-york-sports-betting/new-york-giants-odds-to-win/ | 2023-09-26T05:21:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.968743 | 1,011 |

A facelift (rhytidectomy), is a cosmetic procedure designed to smooth out deep lines and wrinkle and tighten saggy skin. The goal is to rejuvenate an individual’s appearance, making it more youthful. A facelift is one of the most well-known and popular of all the cosmetic surgeries.
Individuals that are unhappy with how they are aging, may find that a facelift is the ideal way to turn back the clock from the normal aging process.. A facelift is a very serious procedure and one that a person shouldn’t have done without much thought and consideration. Because it is impossible to reverse plastic surgery it is crucial that an individual is sure about having the surgery performed and has this procedure performed by an experienced and well qualified physician.
Facelift procedures have been around for some time. One of the first ever surgical lifts to have been performed is believed to have occurred in 1901.
For many years, facelifts mostly involved “skin excisions with primary closure.” Subcutaneous facelifts were extremely popular for some time. It wasn’t until l974, until major developments were made. The lower face and neck platysma were elevated without requiring the skin to be attached.
The technology and techniques used today have changed dramatically since face lifting was first introduced over a century ago. Today, it is possible for highly skilled surgeons to achieve very natural looking results.
Facelifts are utilized by both men and women to physically “turn back the hands of time.” It is popular among both sexes. Full facelifts are for older individuals, typically those between the ages of 50 and 65. Anyone younger than this typically won’t require this type of procedure.
During a facelift, a surgeon may tighten (separate or even remove) face muscles and saggy skin. They will also typically get rid of excess skin.
It is very important that the surgeon a person chooses to perform their surgery is experienced and board certified. A facelift is a very serious procedure that carries many risks. Once the procedure has been done, it can very difficult to correct mistakes. Conversely, a good facelift can make a person look and feel more youthful. It can also dramatically improve their confidence.
A facelift will typically last between 10 and 15 years. After this time, some people will want to have another one done.
There are a variety of facelift types and techniques. The Cutaneous (skin only), Traditional, Deep Plane, and Temporal facelifts are some of the most well known and often utilized.
The Cutaneous facelift focuses on the lower portion of the face and the neck. This is the oldest version of the facelift. It doesn’t utilize any tightening of the muscles so there is little risk to them or the nerves, which some people like. However, the results from this type of lift aren’t as long lasting as those in which the underlying muscles are tightened.
With a traditional facelift (SMAS), the lower face and neck are tightened. The underlying muscle layer is repositioned and lifted in the direction of the ears. The muscles are tightened and any excess skin removed.
The Deep Plane facelift is similar to the traditional facelift but with some substantial differences. The surgeon will cut to deeper plane in the face and then lift and reposition the muscles. Parts of the underlying muscle layers will be separated from deeper ones and also some facial structures. This technique is believed by some to provide a more natural result. There are some risks, however. A person has a higher chance of having their facial nerves injured.
A Temporal facelift’s focus is on the eyebrow area. This may be a good option for those individuals looking to raise a droopy brow.
Because facelift techniques vary, the exact procedural steps will differ. However, there are similarities among the techniques. To begin, the surgeon will make the primary incision above the hairline and behind and in front of the ear. A second incision, smaller in size, will typically be made underneath the chin.
The tissue and the skin is separated and excess fat removed, if necessary. The tissue and muscle is then tightened and repositioned. The skin is pulled upward and also tightened. Any excess skin is removed and the incisions sutured close.
Following surgery, a person will experience some pain. This will be managed with pain medications prescribed by the patient’s doctor. Antibiotics will also be prescribed. This is to prevent an infection from developing. It is important for patients to get up and walk around within a few days after surgery. This helps to get the blood circulating and also helps to prevent the formation of blood clots which can occur with a person sits or lay around for too long.
There will be considerable swelling and bruising after a facelift. This is perfectly normal and will eventually subside. Most people will be able to return to work in about two weeks time. After about one month and no more than four, a person should be completely back to normal.
Facelifts can be very expensive. Because it is considered to be an elective procedure, insurance companies won’t cover it. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery the average cost for a facelift is $6,881. However, it could be as little as $6,000 and as much as $15,000. Surgeons based on the coasts (East and West) are generally more expensive. The surgeon’s qualifications, clientele and reputation will also affect the price of the procedure, as will the technique) being used. The price of a facelift fee will include the surgeon’s, facility and anesthesia fee.
There a number of complications a person who undergoes a facelift might experience. They include infection, disfigurement, scarring, nerve damage, alopecia, skin flap, necrosis and parotid gland pseudocyst. While it is impossible to totally prevent facelift related complications, a person can lessen the likelihood that they occur by having a board certified, experienced and well respected surgeon perform the procedure in an accredited or licensed facility. Following the doctos pre and post op instructions can help decrease problems as well.

PRP Treatment for Facelift
PRP treatment is a cutting edge therapy that has proven to be an effective way to treat wounds as well as tissue and bone injuries. It has more recently been discovered to be an excellent skin rejuvenation procedure. Dermatologists are using it with increased regularity both in conjunction with treatments and also in lieu of them. For instance, instead of a traditional face lift, many dermatologists are beginning to offer a PRP only facelift.
Simple & Effective Procedure
A PRP Treatment for Face Lift is a very simple but effective procedure. To begin, a dermatologist will draw a small amount of blood from the patient. This blood is placed in a centrifuge machine that spins it down so that the blood components are separated. Whole blood is made up of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets suspended in plasma. The platelets are removed and then injected into the face, specifically those parts that a patient wants rejuvenated. Aged, wrinkled, and dull skin are generally the targeted spots for rejuvenating the face.
PRP Treatment for Face Lift is a Newer Procedure
A PRP injection for a facelift is a newer procedure. However, it is quickly gaining popularity amongst both dermatologists and patients. This is because it has proven in many cases to be effective. It is also a simple and non-invasive procedure. Few dermatological procedures can make such a claim.
Blood platelets are central to the effectiveness of PRP therapy because they contain growth factors and other proteins. Growth factors help to jumpstart the healing of soft tissue damage. It also helps to stimulate the growth of collagen.
Once the growth factors are injected into the face, it begins to naturally rejuvenate itself. The results are quite noticeable for many. The effects of Dracula Therapy typically last up to one year.
A PRP treatment for facelift may be a good option for individuals who want to fill in wrinkles as well as fill in sunken parts of the face naturally without the use of synthetic fillers. Because PRP therapy uses the body’s own concentrated healing components, patients are attracted to this procedure. There is also no allergic reactions and the side effects, if any, are minimal. Most individuals won’t experience negative side effects or complications.
PRP Can Be Applied During Surgical Procedure for Facelift
A facelift can also be considered a surgical procedure. Surgical facelift procedures can be very invasive. Incisions will be made, skin may be excised, pulled back, and sutured down to get the perfect cosmetic look. Prp can also be extremely beneficial when applied during a surgical facelift.
Spraying prp to the suture lines and to the underside of facial flaps can increase the likelihood of accelerated wound healing which then leads to less scarring. Less blood loss, reduced swelling, and decreased bruising around the face is also noticed when prp is applied to patients who receive this procedure. Some physicians find that they are able to remove sutures a few days ahead of schedule when prp is applied to the suture lines.
In addition, the need for closed suction drains can be eliminated which adds to patient satisfaction. The aforementioned are all very positive results when using prp with a surgical facelift procedure. The skill and ability of the physician will play perhaps the biggest role in how the procedure turns out. If a surgeon does not do a good job, the outcome will likely be unnatural and unattractive. A patient who undergoes a surgical facelift may also experience nerve damage, reduced feeling and loss of movement in the face. Surgical complications might also occur.
There are few risks and complications associated with a PRP facelift. This is in large part due to the blood platelets utilized in the procedure. The concentrated platelets used in this type of facelift come naturally from the patient. Subsequently, the body will not reject them. Secondly, only an injection is required. No incisions are made or skin removed. A PRP facelift results in less blood loss, scarring, bruising and pain. The recovery period is also much faster.
Overall, a PRP facelift is minimally invasive and considered to be quite safe. It also allows dermatologists to achieve a different look then one achieved via a surgical facelift. PRP helps to rejuvenate and enhance the skin. It also improves volume.
PRP facelifts are commonly used to approve the appearance of glabellar lines, marionette lines, nasolabial folds, crow’s feet, smile lines, forehead lines, and vertical lip lines. It is also an effective treatment for acne scars. Results are noticeable after a few weeks.
A PRP procedure takes about 20 minutes. Either platelets retrieved via whole blood (the patient’s own) is used or a product such as Selphyl is utilized. The latter is a platelet rich fibrin matrix. Prior to the injection, someone will clean the skin and numb it in preparation for the injection. This may be done with a spray or topical solution. Sometimes a shot will be given for this purpose. After the platelets have been injected into the skin, the doctor will place a cool compress on the injection site(s).
Post procedure, the area where the platelets have been injected may turn red. However it quickly dissipates. Some people will experience mild inflammation. A patient should begin to see noticeable changes in their appearance in about 1 to 2 weeks. Because the body is responsible for the rejuvenation, the results are very natural looking.
Patients may or may not experience any pain after the procedure. If they do, it typically isn’t severe. It can usually be successfully treated with a mild over-the-counter pain reliever. A doctor may prescribe medication for this purpose.
Cost of the PRP for Face Lift
The cost of Dracula Therapy, on average, costs between $1000 and $1500. This is relatively affordable and much more so than a surgical facelift, which can be at least three times more expensive.

Peters (Cold Little Duck, Duck, Duck) has such a knack for putting readers in the title cub's shoes-er, paws-that they, too, will be able to feel his anguish at not being able to get to sleep. The rhyming verse moves the story along at just the right pace for preschoolers acting out each creature's sounds (""He tries to look tall and growls, Grrrrrr!/ But the bugs aren't afraid, and they buzzzzzz in his fur""). Because the plot fluidly moves from one event into the next, punctuated by onomatopoeia, storytellers will find the words rolling right off the tongue. Schoenherr's (Little Raccoon's Big Question) illustrations aptly capture the exhausted cub with eyelids so heavy they can barely stay open. Other scenes, however, are almost frightening, a caveat for parents of youngsters who may fear the wide-mouth bear roaring at a family of terrified raccoons. The art tones down at story's end, when a colorful cloud of butterflies befriends the cub; they play with him until he has no energy left. As the bear finally settles in for his long-overdue nap, so too can readers, whose bedtimes may be upon them. Ages 4-up.

The Great St. Florence Potato Challenge Yields Spud-tacular Results!!
The Great St. Florence Potato Challenge was back this year with entrants competing to show their potato-growing prowess by attempting to grow the heaviest crop and/or the greatest number of potatoes.
The Challenge was sponsored by fresh produce producer Puffin Produce, Walter Simon (a Grower with over 40 years’ experience growing potatoes for Puffin Produce), Birt & Co, E. Park & Sons, plus support from Jewson’s Builder Merchants, all in aid of raising funds for St. Florence Church.
A total of 160 buckets were sold with 116 adults, 39 children and 3 schools taking part in the challenge. The challenge was very simple – competitors paid £5 to receive one seed potato and one bucket. The participants took the kit home and added some soil or compost and planted their seed potato – and the rest was up to them until judgment day on 17th July.
Jenny Close, organiser of the Challenge said,
“I think we can safely say the Challenge was another huge success and a great day for all, albeit rather hot! All the volunteers, helpers and Walter Simon as the judge did a wonderful job. Once again, thank you so much to our sponsors for their support in making this event happen. Their generosity is very much appreciated and St. Florence church is very grateful.”
The Challenge weigh-in took place last Saturday (17th July) with some brilliant results.
The winners were categorised into groups comprising of School, Adult and Child with first, second third and fourth place prizes awarded for each category.
Walter Simon who judged the competition said,
“I was amazed again at the results this year and really hope that next year we can all be together and see the potatoes coming out of the buckets and celebrate together.”
The winning school with the heaviest and largest number of potatoes was St. Florence V.C Infant School.
The overall heaviest crop and champion of the competition was Stuart Evans who grew an impressive 2.689 kg’s of potatoes! Penny Mackenzie grew the greatest number of potatoes – an astonishing 58 from just one seed potato.
The first prize in the Children’s categories went to Kate Joseph, who grew 38 potatoes weighing in at 1.809 kg’s.
Huw Thomas, Managing Director at Puffin Produce said,
“We were delighted to sponsor the Great St. Florence Potato Challenge again for the second year. The uptake was phenomenal and it’s wonderful to hear how everyone in the community enjoyed taking part and growing their own potatoes. We were very impressed with the results!”
Talking about the amount raised for St. Florence Church, Jenny Close said,
“I am delighted to confirm that through our generous sponsors, those entering the Potato Challenge, the kind additional donations and our wonderful volunteers all supporting the event, we raised £910 in aid of St Florence. Church. We are thrilled and very grateful to everybody involved.” | <urn:uuid:3d2d0848-c5ec-4427-9a83-cd5ab2468c4a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.puffinproduce.com/puffin-news/the-great-st-florence-potato-challenge-yields-spud-tacular-results/ | 2023-09-26T05:07:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.968275 | 637 |
Pensioner commits suicide in Benue
Mr Nomsha hanged himself a week ago due to frustration over his inability to feed his family and pay his children's school fees.
The Chairman of Coalition of Local Government Pensioners,’ Mike Vembe, made the disclosure on Wednesday, May 24, during a peaceful demonstration at the Government House Makurdi.
He said Mr Nomsha hanged himself a week ago due to frustration over his inability to feed his family and pay his children's school fees.
"One of our members, Gabriel Nomsha, from Gwer West Local Government Area, committed suicide last week as a result of poverty and frustration."
Vembe also explained that the deceased had been screened and came with the hope of receiving his pension but was disappointed when he received no payment.
LIB reports that no less that 2,000 local pensioners from 23 Local Government Areas of the state slept at the gate of the Government House in Makurdi on Tuesday, May 23, to protest the non-payment of their pension to the tune of N1.1 billion.
The pensioners reportedly arrived the Government House at noon but were unable to see the Governor, so they decided to pass the night at the gate of government house.
Despite efforts by security agencies at the gate to disperse them, the pensioners held their ground.
Governor Samuel Ortom who was traveling to Abuja, came to address them the following morning.
LIB reports that Vambe who led the pensioners stated that the protest became a necessity after the Ministry of Finance stopped giving money to Local Government Pensions Board.
"We slept at the gate of the Government House since yesterday to press home our demands for the payment of our pension. The finance ministry stopped giving money to Local Government Pensions Board and this is causing our hardship."
Sympathizing with them, Governor Ortom, said their welfare was of utmost importance to his government and promised to do everything possible to pay up their pension arrears.

A People Magazine Pick and winner of the Miles Franklin Book Award
Funny, poignant, and galvanizing by turns, Josephine Wilson’s award-winning novel explores many kinds of extinction—natural, racial, national, and personal—and what we might do to prevent them.
Professor Frederick Lothian, retired engineer, has quarantined himself in a place he hates: a retirement village. His headstrong wife Martha, adored by all, is dead. His adopted daughter Caroline has cut ties, and his son Callum is lost to him in his own way. And though Frederick knows, logically, that a structural engineer can devise a bridge for any situation, somehow his own troubled family—fractured by years of secrets and lies—is always just out of his reach.
When a series of unfortunate incidents brings him and his spirited next-door neighbor Jan together, Frederick gets a chance to build something new in the life he has left. At the age of 69, he has to confront his most complex emotional relationships and the haunting questions he’s avoided all his life. Unbeknownst to him, Caroline—on her own journey of cultural reckoning—is doing the same. As father and daughter fight in their own ways to save what’s lost, they might finally find a way toward each other.
A masterful portrait of a man caught by history, and a sweeping meditation on the meaning of family, love, survival, and identity, Extinctions asks an urgent question: can we find the courage to change?
— People Magazine
We live in an age of Extinctions—not only the plants and animals that give our planet its rich and life-sustaining biodiversity, but the potential extinction of democracy, of humanity, and life as we know it on the planet. Josephine Wilson knows this. She writes with great intention, calling upon us as individuals and as a society to change.
Extinctions is a moving portrait of one family's secrets, missed opportunities, and hopes for another chance at life. Beautifully written, with strong, memorable characters, Wilson's latest takes readers on a deeply satisfying journey and reminds us of our power to create change.
— Booklist (Starred Review)
Gorgeously put-together . . . The various sad backstory details about old deaths, betrayals, and other wounds are teased out slowly and patiently, but that momentum is no greater than the more uplifting one: the unforeseen, truly magical opening of possibilities for growth, change, reconciliation, happiness. A really fine, deeply intelligent book with so much to think about and so much unexpected hope.
— Kirkus (Starred Review)
Wilson’s American debut artfully portrays the nuances of death and extinction . . . This contemplative novel skillfully delves into Frederick and Caroline’s psyches, resulting in a potent depiction of loneliness and contact.
— Publishers Weekly
Josephine Wilson’s novel, Extinctions, is whip-smart, full of unexpected moves and a wonderful cast of characters. From its first sentence, the prose exhibits an unselfconscious beauty, while the voice remains both compassionate and uncompromising. A powerful, memorable read.
— Karen Joy Fowler, author of WE ARE ALL COMPLETELY BESIDE OURSELVES
Smart, funny, wise, and delightful, Extinctions is pure and astonishing pleasure from start to finish. I loved this novel.
— Lily King, author of EUPHORIA
A novel as beautifully and intricately designed as the iconic structures retired Australian engineer, Fred Lothian, admires. An intellectual but deeply flawed man, he can't see he may be preserving the artifacts of his family's past while letting his family wither away. A masterful meditation on love, loss and the carelessness of extinction.
— Helen Simonson, author of MAJOR PETTIGREW'S LAST STAND
Compassionate and unapologetically intelligent . . . A meditation on survival: on what people carry, on how they cope, and on why they might, after so much putting their head in the sand, come to the decision to engage, and even change.
— Miles Franklin Award Committee
[Extinctions] has already made a significant mark on the literary landscape.

Communications leader and business advocate Randy Talley has announced his campaign for the Oklahoma House of Representatives, seeking to represent District 56 in Southwest Oklahoma.
With 38 years in professional communications, working as a leader in community development, education and charity, Talley has accepted the challenge to run for state office.
“I am committed to building responsible, sustainable government,” Talley said. “We Oklahomans live in the most prosperous time in history, in a strong economy with great potential for growth. If we can’t get this right … if we can’t manage our success … if we can’t build a path to excellence for our children, there’s something wrong.”
I have a lot to learn. Every endeavor that begins with that instinct becomes productive. I want to represent the people of District 56 with integrity and honest communication.
Our form of government as conceived by our founders honors the citizen first, i.e., "government of the people, by the people and for the people." That's unique in recorded history, and it should serve as the bedrock for government on all levels: local, state and federal.
Together we can improve Oklahoma, a state blessed with abundant natural resources and generous people. But it's going to take honest communication and decisions that preserve our children's future. | <urn:uuid:c5b43790-44bf-419b-94c7-fbf21e33c1a3> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.randytalley.com/about | 2023-09-26T06:42:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.955335 | 285 |

Famous above all for its historic Carnival, which attracts thousands of visitors every year, the town turns into a huge open-air stage between February and March: during this period, the streets are filled with allegorical floats, colourful masks and festivities involving both locals and tourists.
One of the main attractions of the Viareggio Carnival is the parade of allegorical floats, made with great skill and creativity by talented local artisans, who are involved in the creation of these majestic works throughout the year. These floats are often of imposing dimensions and satirically represent characters and themes of current affairs, politics and society, providing the public with moments of fun and reflection.
However, Viareggio is not only Carnival: the town offers, in fact, wide beaches of fine sand, ideal for days of relaxation and fun. The crystal-clear sea and well-organised bathing facilities make Viareggio a perfect destination for families, couples and groups of friends looking for an unforgettable summer holiday.
The seaside promenade is another distinctive feature of Viareggio: this charming pedestrian street, lined with palm trees and characterised by elegant Art Nouveau buildings, offers a wide choice of shops, restaurants, bars and nightclubs. Strolling along the promenade, perhaps enjoying a delicious homemade ice cream, is a pleasant and relaxing experience, allowing you to immerse yourself in the typical Versilia atmosphere.
Viareggio is also a city rich in culture and art, with numerous museums and art galleries hosting permanent collections and temporary exhibitions, offering visitors the opportunity to discover the artistic and historical heritage of the city and the surrounding region. | <urn:uuid:d228b6cb-5ac1-4f8f-8295-77e7c6505111> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.re-versiliana.it/en/territory/viareggio | 2023-09-26T05:07:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.954045 | 368 |
When crafting a robust and versatile wardrobe for yourself it’s kind of impossible to ignore chinos and brown shoes.
They really are the workhorses of your wardrobe. This is a term I use to describe those items you just keep going back to.
Of course, “brown shoes” can refer to a wide range of items ranging from formal dress shoes to casual summer wear.
Knowing how to pair the right pair of brown shoes with the right chinos is important, but not difficult. Take color matching, the formality of the occasion, and the weather into consideration and you’ll be fine.
That’s what I’m going to talk through today. This is a step-by-step walkthrough to help make your styling and purchasing decisions easy when it comes to this classic combo.
How To Wear Chinos With Brown Shoes
Ask yourself these two questions when choosing your outfit.
1. What’s The Weather?
The climate and temperature will play a role in determining your choice.
For instance, warm summer weather is better suited to lightweight chinos and warmer, lighter tones such as stone, khaki, and light gray.
Milder and colder weather is usually better suited to heavyweight chinos of a darker tone such as navy blue or charcoal gray.
Certain brown shoes will be more summer-friendly, such as boat shoes and moccasins.
This may sound obvious, but making sure your outfit syncs with the climate in both style and color is a basic principle that shouldn’t be forgotten.
2. How Formal Is The Setting?
The glorious versatility of chinos will allow you to wear them in settings ranging from casual, to semi casual, and to business casual.
It’s important to note that “semi-casual” is more formal than “casual” but less formal than “smart-casual”.
“Smart-casual” is the same as “business casual”.
Essentially, you could reasonably pull off a pair of chinos in most settings other than truly formal ones.
However, certain pairs of chinos can be considered more “formal”. They generally have features that resemble dress pants more than jeans, whereas casual chinos tend to resemble jeans more than dress pants.
Formal features include:
- Welted pockets instead of patch pockets
- Barely visible inner leg seam details
- Center creases down each leg
So if you wanted a pair of chinos to pass off as “dressy” enough for a particular business casual event, for instance, go for a more formal looking pair.
The brown shoes you choose will also be partly determined by the formality of the setting or occasion.
Casual and semi-casual options include sneakers, boat shoes, moccasins, and suede loafers.
Whereas formal options include leather loafers, Oxfords, Derbys, and Bluchers.
Then you’ve got those in-betweens such as Chelsea boots which are great for the colder months and are incredibly versatile.
Try to pair more “formal” looking chinos with a more formal pair of brown shoes, and more “casual” looking chinos with more casual brown shoes.
But it’s definitely important to note that this isn’t a hard-and-fast rule. Even regular pairs of chinos can look great with traditionally more formal shoes such as Oxfords.
But if you wanted an overall “dressier” aesthetic, stick to smarter, more formal looking chinos to really complete the look.
Color Matching Chinos With Brown Shoes
Color coordinating clothes isn’t usually in a man’s list of favorite activities. This is exactly why I recommend keeping things incredibly simple.
When designing a truly versatile wardrobe where each item can be worn with any other item, keeping color simple is absolutely crucial.
Stick to a neutral, basic color scheme that will allow you to mix and match easily and seamlessly without even having to think about it.
Brown shoes go so well in a neutral-colored wardrobe.
Use the weather to guide your choices, while sticking to a strictly neutral scheme. Sure, pastel colors are great but do make coordination a little trickier.
In the summer, consider lighter neutral tones. For example, stone, light gray, khaki, white, or olive green chinos with brown shoes.
In the winter, try darker tones. For example, navy blue, black, or charcoal gray chinos with brown shoes.
The beauty of sticking to neutral, muted colors is that you won’t need to worry about color coordinating with those brown shoes. Whatever the shade of brown, they should work.
Focus more on ensuring the weather and the formality of both the chinos and the shoes are appropriate and sync well.
Which Brown Shoes To Wear With Chinos
Let’s dive a little deeper into the range of shoes you could potentially wear with chinos. Although it’s possible to differentiate further in terms of the weather, let’s focus on the formality of the setting and how to use that information to decide on your shoes.
Here’s another reminder of what a more “formal” pair of chinos looks like compared to a regular, more casual pair. Try to pair casual and regular chinos with casual shoes and more formal-looking chinos with smart-casual and formal shoes.
Casual And Semi-Casual Options
Everything from hittin’ up the movies to dinner with your girlfriend and more.
Brown Leather Sneakers
Sure, a pair of white sneakers may be more crucial for your ultra-versatile wardrobe. However, don’t underestimate the power of a pair of brown leather sneakers.
They can look fantastic with a pair of chinos and work well in both casual and semi casual settings.
Loafers are fantastic because they perfectly embody the casual aesthetic. They’re incredibly simple and comfortable to wear.
They’re defined by a simple, slip-on design with no laces or fastening, an exposed ankle, and often a low heel. They have a moccasin-like seam on top that gives it a touch more elegance than a regular slipper.
Try wearing a pair of brown penny loafers with cuffed or pinrolled chinos on those warm summer days.
Combine them with a V-neck or basic short sleeve white T-shirt with an open denim shirt layered on top.
Pop a fedora hat on to really pile on a heavy summer vibe.
That’s just a simple, yet effective example. The options really are endless.
Fast forward to fall and winter and you’ll want something a little more sturdy and rugged.
Two ankle boots that’ll come to mind are chukka boots and Chelsea boots. Boots aren’t cheap, and you may be in a position where you can only really afford one right now.
A pair of Chelsea boots should usually be your first buy simply because of their versatility. A pair of dark brown Chelsea boots can combine very well with both casual and semi-casual wear.
Box calf leather is usually a better option than suede for this very reason, but suede is still very appropriate for settings on the more casual end of the spectrum. However, if you live in a particularly rainy climate, avoid suede if possible.
A pair of brown Chelsea boots work well with chinos because they share similar aesthetics. They’re both incredibly versatile items that can be dressed up and dressed down with relative ease.
As they’re better suited to mild or colder weather, Chelsea boots work better with heavyweight chinos of darker tones such as navy blue or charcoal gray.
Dark brown leather is particularly great because it can fit pretty seamlessly into both semi-casual and smart-casual (i.e business casual) outfits. The lighter the shade of brown, the more casual it’ll look.
Compare this with black boots which should really only be worn with more formal wear.
Let’s tone down the formality a notch further and talk about the gloriously casual boat shoes we all know and love.
They’re similar to loafers but are even less formal and also come with laces that go around the shoe from the tongue to the heel for a nice, snug fit.
The outsoles are traditionally white but often come in a wide range of colors now.
Much like with the loafer, a brown boat shoe is arguably the most versatile color of them all, making color matching within your wardrobe a lot easier.
They’re great for the summer and are usually worn without socks. This is in contrast to loafers which are usually worn with socks, even if they’re just small, barely visible socks.
They work very well with chinos, including chino shorts. Typically worn in sunnier weather, boat shoes work well with lightweight chinos of warmer tones such as khaki, olive green, or beige.
Smart-Casual (Business Casual) Options
Let’s run through some more formal and “dressier” shoes that still work well with chinos. As I mentioned earlier, if you do want an overall “dressier” aesthetic, pair them with chinos that lean toward the formal side with traditionally formal features.
But at the end of the day, there’s no reason why a regular, more casual pair of chinos wouldn’t work with these shoes either. Just don’t go too casual with the chinos.
Although they’re usually more associated with formal outfits, they work perfectly fine for smart-casual settings as well. In fact, they’re a lot more versatile than they’re given credit for.
Sure, they’re considered the most “formal” of the classic dress shoes, but that doesn’t mean they’re only good for royal garden parties and the like.
They’re defined by their closed lacing, and they now come in a wide range of fabrics despite traditionally being made from leather.
Once again, brown leather is very easy to work with and coordinate your wardrobe with.
Tan colored Oxfords have become very popular recently and combine very well with chinos because they come off more casual than dark brown or black.
Here’s an example of a nice smart-casual outfit combining brown Oxfords with chinos:
Tan Oxfords with olive green chinos (center creases if possible), a white OCBD shirt, and a light gray sports coat.
Simple, neutral, and subtle.
These are arguably an even more appropriate option for combining with chinos, simply because they’re a little more casual than Oxfords.
The main thing that differentiates them from Oxfords is their open lacing system. This makes them more comfortable to wear, particularly for men with bigger feet.
Brown Derbys and chinos is often a winning combination. If you’re looking to make them more interesting, look for unique brogue patterns and switch up the color of the shoelaces now and again.
As you’d expect, leather loafers look dressier and more formal than their suede counterparts.
You’d still expect the same features as you would with a suede pair, such as an absence of laces, buckles, and straps.
But the sheen of the leather does give them a distinctly more formal edge. They also work fantastically well with chinos in smart-casual outfits.
Much like with suede, the Penny loafer style is probably the most popular. But there are others you could choose from, including Belgian, Tassel, and Gucci loafers.
If you had to choose between owning a suede pair and a leather pair, a leather pair would be more versatile.
It’s suitable for such a wide range of occasions. Plus, it’s generally more weather-resistant and resilient than suede as well.
There you have it. Yet another chino tutorial. It’s pretty hard to run out of topics to talk about when you’ve got such a classic and popular item of clothing.
Hope you enjoyed that and found it useful.
Experiment with it and have fun.

California's Assembly Bill 5 law, better known as AB 5, is making waves in the logistics industry.
What is AB 5? California's Assembly Bill 5 (AB 5) law makes it harder for trucker owner operators to be seen as independent contractors in the eyes of the law. On June 30, the U.S. Supreme Court denied an appeal on AB 5, allowing for full enforcement of the industry-reshaping law.
AB 5 requires an “ABC test” to figure out if workers in California are 'employees' or 'independent contractors' for legal purposes and to have certain workers rights. Click here to learn more about the ABC test. How will AB 5 effect owner-operators? AB 5 may cause motor carriers and owner-operators to change 30 years of how the industry has operated and shift to a traditional employer-employee business relationship. Details within AB 5 may also prevent independent owner-operator truckers from working with some carriers, leaving these companies no choice but to hire only employee drivers. What's next for AB 5? Truckers and trucker associations are waiting to see. More than 70 trade associations ranging from trucking and retail to agriculture and business, have come together to fight for owner operators and asked the California Governor to delay enforcing AB 5, but that seems unlikely. RealTruckers can go to the The Truckstop Facebook Group to hear what truckers from around the country are saying about AB 5. | <urn:uuid:62434649-d4cc-40c1-9503-3e3c15093edf> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.realtruckers.com/post/what-is-assembly-bill-5-ab-5-and-how-will-it-affect-owner-operators | 2023-09-26T06:34:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.961344 | 296 |

From our more than 25 years of experience with various herpes viruses, we have learned a lot about how the virus manages to establish a long-lasting infection, escape recognition by the host’s immune system and be transmitted from mother to daughter cell during cell division. For example, the viral protein LANA of KSHV mediates many of these functions and it can reprogramme the infected cell in favour of the virus. Therefore, we are exploring the structure of LANA in more detail and also the nature of tiny “territories” in the nucleus of the infected cell where the virus resides in latent form. We have also characterised the function of the viral membrane protein pK15, which is necessary in early phases of replication. We have developed first-generation inhibitors for both LANA and pK15. Now we want to transfer these findings and experiences to other herpesviruses such as the β-herpesvirus HCMV.
Another attractive drug target is the CATC protein complex of the virus assembly. This structure is potentially applicable for a broad-spectrum approach. It has already been solved for herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) by cryo-electron microscopy.
An equally interesting antiviral target, which could also allow a broad-spectrum approach, are the auxiliary proteins of viral DNA polymerase. They act as processivity factors in viral replication. We are exploring whether these factors and its homologues from other herpesviruses are suitable as potential antiviral target proteins. | <urn:uuid:195a8c44-a014-40cc-9a10-6df0e9e702c3> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.resist-cluster.de/en/research/project-area-d/project-d1/ | 2023-09-26T05:01:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.95198 | 313 |
Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. It has been a significant public health concern for centuries, but with advancements in medicine and increased awareness, it is now a treatable condition. Early detection and prompt treatment are crucial in curing syphilis and preventing long-term complications. In this blog post, we will explore the topic of syphilis, its causes, stages, detection, and most importantly, the ease of cure when caught early.
Overview of Syphilis
Syphilis has a complex history, dating back to the 15th century when it was first recognized as a widespread disease. It is primarily transmitted through sexual contact, including vaginal, anal, and oral sex, as well as through direct contact with syphilis sores or rashes. Syphilis progresses through several stages, each with its own set of symptoms and risks.
Causes and Transmission of Syphilis
Syphilis is caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. It can be transmitted from person to person through contact with syphilis sores, called chancres, which can be found on the external genitals, anus, or mouth. The bacteria can enter the body through mucous membranes or breaks in the skin during sexual activity. It is important to note that syphilis can also be transmitted from an infected mother to her unborn child during pregnancy or childbirth.
Stages of Syphilis
Syphilis progresses through primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary stages. The primary stage is characterized by the appearance of a single sore or ulcer at the site of infection. In the secondary stage, symptoms may include a rash, fever, swollen lymph nodes, sore throat, and muscle aches. Latent syphilis is the stage where there are no visible symptoms, but the infection is still present in the body. Lastly, tertiary syphilis, which occurs after many years of untreated infection, can lead to severe complications and damage to various organs, including the brain, heart, and blood vessels.
Detection and Diagnosis of Syphilis
Early detection of syphilis is crucial in preventing the progression of the infection and its long-term consequences. It is recommended to undergo regular STI testing, especially if you engage in high-risk sexual behaviors or have multiple sexual partners.
Symptoms of Early Stage Syphilis
The symptoms of syphilis can vary depending on the stage of the infection. In the early stage, symptoms may include a painless sore or ulcer at the site of infection, typically appearing within a few weeks after exposure. This sore will heal on its own, even without treatment. However, this does not mean the infection has resolved. It is important to seek medical attention for further testing and treatment.
Testing Methods for Syphilis Diagnosis
Various tests can be used to diagnose syphilis. This includes blood tests that detect antibodies produced by the body in response to the infection. These tests can determine the presence of syphilis antibodies and help monitor the progression of the disease. Additionally, samples from chancres or fluid from the sores can be examined under a microscope to directly visualize the bacteria.
Treatment Options for Syphilis
The good news is that syphilis is easily treatable, especially when caught in its early stages. The preferred treatment for all stages of syphilis is penicillin, an antibiotic medication that can effectively kill the bacteria responsible for the infection. Penicillin is usually administered through injections, and the number of doses depends on the stage and duration of the infection.
Penicillin as the Preferred Treatment
Penicillin has been the gold standard treatment for syphilis for many years due to its effectiveness. It can eradicate the bacteria even in more advanced stages of the infection. The dosage and method of administration may vary depending on the stage of the infection and individual factors.
Alternative Antibiotics for Penicillin-Allergic Individuals
For individuals who are allergic to penicillin, there are alternative antibiotics available. These include medications such as doxycycline or tetracycline, which can be taken orally for a specified duration. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the most appropriate alternative treatment option.
Penicillin Desensitization for Severe Allergies
In cases where a person has a severe allergy to penicillin, a healthcare provider may recommend penicillin desensitization. This process involves gradually introducing small amounts of penicillin under controlled medical supervision to help the body tolerate the medication. This allows individuals with a penicillin allergy to receive the preferred treatment for syphilis.
Benefits of Early Syphilis Diagnosis and Treatment
When syphilis is diagnosed and treated in its early stages, the chances of a successful cure are high. Early treatment not only eliminates the infection but also reduces the risk of complications and long-term health issues associated with syphilis. Moreover, prompt treatment can significantly reduce the transmission of syphilis to sexual partners.
Prevention of Complications and Long-Term Health Issues
Without treatment, syphilis can lead to severe complications, including damage to the cardiovascular system, neurological disorders, and even death. However, when diagnosed and treated early, these complications can be prevented, allowing individuals to lead healthy lives.
Reduction in Transmission of Syphilis to Others
Untreated syphilis is highly infectious and can easily be transmitted to sexual partners. By seeking early treatment and completing the prescribed course of antibiotics, individuals can reduce the risk of transmitting the infection to others. This not only protects sexual partners but also contributes to the overall prevention of syphilis transmission in the community.
Importance of Follow-Up and Retesting
After completing the recommended course of treatment, it is essential to follow-up with regular testing to ensure the infection has been fully resolved. This is particularly important in detecting any reinfection or persistent infection that may require additional treatment. Regular STI testing is also crucial for individuals at high risk of syphilis, such as those with multiple sexual partners or individuals engaged in high-risk sexual behaviors.
Syphilis, a once-prevalent and severe disease, is now easily curable when caught early. The preferred treatment is penicillin, which effectively eliminates the bacterium responsible for the infection. Prompt diagnosis and treatment not only improve the chances of a successful cure but also help prevent complications and reduce the transmission of syphilis to others. Regular STI testing and education are essential in preventing syphilis and promoting overall sexual health. Remember, early detection and treatment are key in combating syphilis and ensuring a healthier future. | <urn:uuid:ee2f3764-1edd-483b-845e-1210d4699b2f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.restonyc.com/is-syphilis-easy-to-cure-if-caught-early/ | 2023-09-26T06:01:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.932456 | 1,344 |

Information came out this week that Mrs. Clinton had classified information on her private server. Aside from the fact that having that information on her private server was illegal, there are also other problems. It is understood that Mrs. Clinton’s private server would not have had the security to protect it from overseas hackers.
On Thursday, The Washington Times posted an article saying that the U.S. intelligence community is working to minimize the impact of the classified information on Mrs. Clinton’s computer being leaked.
The article reports:
“It’s a serious breach of national security if the United States government fails to secure classified material in the hands of people not authorized to possess it, no matter who they are. There are fundamental questions as to what the FBI is doing to securing these classified emails and why the State Department is not fully cooperating with the inspectors general at the State Department and the Intelligence Community to ensure that all of the appropriate emails are identified,” Mr. Grassley wrote.
Mr. Grassley also sent a letter to Secretary of State John F. Kerry inquiring about the delay in sending the 30,000 emails to intelligence community inspectors general.
Mrs. Clinton, the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, fended off the new questions about the email scandal and suspicious foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation, distracting from her effort to wrangle support from union bosses at the AFL-CIO’s annual summer meeting.
The former secretary of state’s email woes deepened when a federal judge scolded the State Department for delays in releasing the documents, as the agency revealed that Mrs. Clinton’s closest aides and top officials during her tenure at the agency — Huma Abedin, Cheryl Mills and Jake Sullivan — also used private email accounts and all of their message have not been turned over to the State Department.
Mishandling classified information is a serious matter. The article reminds us that CIA Director David H. Petraeus was charged with a crime for not properly handling classified documents. It will be interesting to see if the same standard applies to Mrs. Clinton. | <urn:uuid:c37a54ba-5ff5-43fa-81a8-784e809c0e9e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.rightwinggranny.com/?p=26156 | 2023-09-26T05:32:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.945998 | 427 |
This first edition of Wavestone’s Industrial Control Systems (ICS) Cybersecurity Radar comes at a very special time. On one hand, the health and economic crisis context is considerably weakening the companies that manage critical infrastructures. On the other hand, the cyber threat is increasing, with ransomware affecting critical systems more and more often. It is no longer enough to ask the question of how to prevent cyber-attacks: one must also plan how to react in case of a crisis, how to quickly isolate a critical industrial system and how to quickly restore a compromised system.
In this article, we expose our vision of the market and the maturity of cybersecurity for industrial information systems (IS), as well as our convictions and analysis on the subject.
What is the state of the threat to industrial information systems?
In 2011, the cybersecurity of industrial information systems, suddenly came to the forefront with the Stuxnet attack and the discovery of a state level threat against Operational Technologies (OT). For a decade, Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) were considered the biggest threat to industrial system security, through impressive and complex attacks, such as the series of “Black Energy” attacks against the Ukrainian power grid between 2007 and 2014, or the “Triton” attack against the safety systems of a chemical plant in Saudi Arabia in 2017.
However, the Snake/EKANS case in 2020 allows us to point out a trend that has been continuously increasing for the past few years: the appearance of ransomware in ICS. These ransomwares are the result of opportunistic attacks on vulnerable systems or are side effects of attacks targeting the corporate IS, as in the case of Colonial Pipeline in May 2021.
With the ransomware business model becoming sustainable on one hand, and the emergence of increasingly connected industrial IS on the other hand, it is realistic to expect a large increase in opportunistic attacks and ransomware side effects on industrial information systems.
Faced with an increasing threat, companies must implement cybersecurity measures on industrial systems and define coherent strategic goals, but this requires a real investment. Therefore, we have worked on listing ICS cybersecurity domains and the solutions to secure them. This radar is not exhaustive, but it aims to clarify the topic by giving a high-level vision.
For five months, this radar was built with five experts in cybersecurity of Industrial IS, in addition to the hundred consultants of Wavestone’s industrial cybersecurity offer.
This radar has two parts (we will call them dials): one is presenting cybersecurity products specialized in industrial IS and the other is presenting the different domains of industrial IS cybersecurity, sorted by maturity level.
Industrial cybersecurity products are identified as such according to the following criteria:
- They meet a need in the process of securing industrial information systems
- They are adapted to an industrial environment in terms of hardware and software:
· The hardware is rugged to withstand harsh conditions and/or has a long service life
· Network security products consider industrial protocols
· Terminal security products are compatible with obsolete systems.
The cybersecurity domains are also selected and evaluated based on the observations of our consultants in the field, with various customers in varied industrial domains, but in the French context.
The rest of this article highlights some of the important ICS domains, from the most mature to the most emerging. This analysis echoes and updates our 2019 publication presenting feedbacks on ICS protection and security. Indeed, if the main topics remains the same (e.g. IT/OT separation), the players and their maturity evolve quickly, bringing new issues and transforming the old ones.
Which basis should be used to secure an industrial network?
People, procedures, and resilience
The strengths and weaknesses of industrial IS and management IS are different. To implement effective cybersecurity measures in an industrial IS, one must first understand the levers already present in Industrial IS that can be useful for cyber security.
First, the operators in industrial production networks are very familiar with the processes and the usual functioning of the production system. In addition, procedures in the event of an incident are much more developed than in corporate IS. Together, these elements give a capacity to detect malfunction and to respond efficiently. A clever way to improve this resilience capacity is to add cyber incident detection procedures based on the teams’ current knowledge.
Knowing your network makes it easier to secure the IS and maintain it in secure conditions by allowing risk analysis, network segmentation, vulnerability and patch management, regulatory compliance, etc.
It is possible to carry out this exhaustive inventory by hand on a regular basis, especially by using industrial maintenance tools. To go further, it is possible to automate the task with free mapping tools (Dragos CyberLens, GrassMarlin). Finally, probes (Nozomi, Claroty, Dragos, etc.) can go much further by automating the detection of anomalies on the network or even by helping with incident response.
Backup and recovery
The best resilience weapon against ransomware is the systematic and, if possible, offline backup of critical data for the production system. This practice is more and more implemented in OT systems.
However, additional conditions are necessary for backups to be truly useful. First, all the data needed for the system to function must be identified. This data can be either technical data (machine configuration for example) or business data. A risk analysis allows you to identify it efficiently. Finally, you must ensure that you are able to restore a functional system from the backups made, especially for certified systems.
What are the opportunities in 2021?
Our study has enabled us to highlight effective measures to greatly increase the security level of an industrial IS.
Segmenting your network
Network segmentation has been around for several years. However, it is still an important step in securing your industrial network. Having a segmented network allows to efficiently prevent the propagation of an attack and therefore its impact.
In addition to the use of appropriate firewalls, a network segmentation project requires competent architecture and integration teams with sufficient time and resources. Network segmentation is a balance between security and business needs. The use of new “Software Defined” network technologies allows to perform segmentation in a more agile way.
Separate the management network from the industrial network
The connection of industrial IS to corporate IS is necessary today, but it is also a vector of risk.
The solutions to be implemented depend on the criticality of the industrial network and the necessary flows between the two networks. However, a single interface between the two networks must always be favored to maintain control over this particularly critical interface.
A complete range of products exists, from firewalls to data diodes. A good practice is to assemble several of these solutions within a DMZ, to control the services that can communicate between the two networks.
Nevertheless, IT/OT separation goes far beyond the network issue discussed above. In terms of identity, the separation of the Active Directory (AD) between the management network and the industrial network must also be addressed. From a security perspective, it is best, if the resources are available, to separate these two ADs to avoid the spread of attacks. However, the ADs can also be linked by closely controlling authorized flows and/or providing remediation if one of the two ADs is compromised.
Identify network users
A particularity of identity management in ICS is the strong presence of shared workstations. In this situation, an adapted solution must allow several users to work on the same machine in an authenticated way, thus allowing to identify the actions of each one.
In this case, the model where each user has his own Windows session is not adapted. A possible solution is to set up a generic Windows session on which the user authenticates himself in a simple and fast way thanks to a badge and a Fast Switching software.
What are the next major cybersecurity projects for industrial IS?
Several Managed Security Services Providers (MSSP) are starting to propose ICS specialized Security Operation Centers (SOC). However, these SOCs should not be considered as miracle solutions: it is above all by knowing your business and all its particularities that the SOC can be effective.
A key aspect when setting up an industrial SOC is to clearly define a scope that is correlated with the cyber maturity of the IS. In an industrial cyber SOC, only cyber incidents should be dealt with, without considering purely operational events, which are already handled by the supervision system.
Third party security
Supply chain management, both in IT and OT, is becoming one of the most important cyber topics. REvil’s attack on Kayesa and its customers in July 2021 gives an idea of the possibilities of a supply chain attack: the attacks reach a new scale and can affect hundreds or even thousands of organizations at once. Obviously, industrial IS also involves third parties and are therefore not immune. For example, the compromise of a PLC vendor could impact numerous customers.
Third party attacks can take different forms, including the following examples:
- Access to the IS by using a software update with a trojan inside
- Theft of data stored by a third party
- Access to the IS via a remote access, for example used by the third party to perform maintenance
Protecting oneself from supply chain attacks is particularly complex. However, tools exist. First, it is essential to know your supply chain and the risk related to each third party. Third parties at risk can then be subject to measures to reduce the chances of compromise such as a Security Assurance Plan (SAP) or regular audits.
Remote access to the IS can be controlled by using Bastions or privileged access management (PAM) solutions, which monitor all actions made by the third party and finely manage their rights. However, this solution can become a constraint for the user, therefore it is advised to focus on the user’s needs to propose the most relevant solutio.
Still mainly confined to secondary functions such as inventory and supply management, the cloud is gradually making its way into industrial IS with the development of Industry 4.0. By doing so, it allows, for example, global IoT terminals management in production sites or optimizing server sizing.
But this change also raises security issues. Some of these issues have already been addressed with the democratization of the cloud in management information systems, but others have yet to be resolved. How to manage the security of IoT devices? How can cloud systems be integrated into critical environments, which are highly regulated? Who stores the data and what regulations apply? | <urn:uuid:c9d6f172-2289-4030-87b3-8977d78ec59d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.riskinsight-wavestone.com/en/2021/10/what-are-the-trends-and-challenges-in-industrial-cybersecurity-in-2021/ | 2023-09-26T06:58:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.941244 | 2,166 |

Ernesto Köhler. 8 Virtuoso Studies for Solo Flute op.33 vol.III
A foundation text of the didactic for beginners, that presents the pupil with the first important instrumental challenges. Editor Angelo Persichilli helps young players to overcome the trickiest passages in the collection.
Angelo Persichilli (15 February 1939, 15 January 2017).
He studied at the Conservatory of Santa Cecilia in Rome where he graduated with honors and honors. Since 1958 he has been the first soloist flute of the Orchestra of the National Academy of Santa Cecilia for forty years. He has recorded for RCA, Fonit Cetra, Frequenz and Edi-Pan. He also dedicated himself to the rediscovery of music of the past, finding, in 1978, a concert of Mercadante at the Library of the Conservatory of San Pietro a Maiella in Naples, which he then performed in the first modern shooting with the Orchestra of the National Academy of Santa Cecilia under the guidance of Riccardo Chailly. Together with Carmelo Bene he obtained a great success with Bruno Maderna's Hyperion in Milan (RAI) and in Rome (Santa Cecilia). Francesco Pennisi dedicated a concert to him that he performed with K. Martin in Turin and with Gabriele Ferro in Palermo. Since 1970 he has carried out an intense concert activity, playing with the most important Italian and international symphonic orchestras under the guidance of Maag, Gavazzeni, Gatti, Spivakov, Abbado, Renzetti.
He was artistic director of the Roman Polyphonic Choir Association at the Oratorio del Gonfalone in Rome.
Ernesto Köhler (Modena, 4 December 1849 - St. Petersburg, 17 May 1907) was an Italian composer and flautist. Firstborn of the Bohemian Joseph Venceslau Köhler (1809 - 1878), formerly first flute of the Chapel of the Ducal Court of Modena, he began the study of the flute with his father. In 1869 he moved to Vienna to fill the position of first flute at the Karl Theater and in 1871, at the invitation of Cesare Ciardi, he settled permanently in Petersburg where he died. Important is the production of didactic works based largely on the belcantistic style, the main characteristic of the Italian flute school linked to the melodrama where elegance, phrasing, expression, sing-songwriting were the objectives of every performer. | <urn:uuid:4e03e5d3-53ff-4cf1-a4fd-a9dd4c6e50c7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.riverberisonori.it/en/prodotto/ernesto-kohler-8-virtuoso-studies-for-solo-flute-op-33-vol-iii/ | 2023-09-26T06:17:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.937227 | 537 |
Now RMIT researchers have plotted a course to ensure drone technology – the fastest growing sector in the aerospace industry – can achieve its life-saving potential.
The key to unlocking new applications may be drones who can “think for themselves”.
RMIT’s Unmanned Aircraft Systems Research Team (RUASRT) has identified “behavioural technology” (otherwise known as autonomy, or drones capable of independent decision-making in response to changing conditions) as a key developmental milestone.
Study lead author Dr Mohamed Elbanhawi said the advance would have incredible implications for urban drone use.
“We envisage a future where small, agile and highly autonomous drones can provide services to society,” he said.
“This would free drones from their land-based operators and extend their potential enormously.”
Another important potential development is “swarm sensing”, where drones detect, navigate around and avoid each other.
Co-author Dr Abdulghani Mohamed said: “Swarms that can detect and sense solutions are the future of drone operation. Swarming behaviour means that flocks of drones could operate in unison with only limited human oversight.”
The study is part of a research program at RMIT in collaboration with the US Air Force, Defence Science Technology Group and the Defence Science Institute, to explore cutting-edge technologies that will enable trusted autonomous drones to safely operate in urban environments for military and civil applications.
The study explores the latest achievements in sensors; path planning algorithms; control architectures; autonomy; computational performance; communication topologies; energy storage and regeneration technologies.
Although major technical challenges (including computational power and communication bandwidth limitations) presently exist, possible solutions have been identified by RMIT researchers that will enable autonomous operations – the pinnacle of drone technology.
The research has been published in Progress in Aerospace Sciences. | <urn:uuid:cc7f8db7-8035-4103-8ea4-43cbb025d0b5> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.rmit.edu.au/news/all-news/2017/apr/autonomy-the-next-frontier-for-drone-technology | 2023-09-26T06:37:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.910512 | 387 |
Haier, a global smart household appliance company, unveiled its “smart stage” line of products during the IFA event in Berlin, Germany.
The company said Sunday it has showcased the U+ smart home appliance ecosystem as well as several internet appliances and smart self-maintenance products, in a move to introduce its smart life strategy to global markets.
Haier’s U+ smart life platform is an open ecosystem network. It brings together the components of smart ecosystems for air, food, water, security, health, and entertainment as well as internet appliances.
[ Microsoft Presents Internet of Things for Home Cooking ]
Under the U+ smart home appliance ecosystem, Haier’s home appliances become intelligent internet appliances. They can seamlessly connect with each other rather than being isolated. Interactions are achieved between home appliances and human beings via terminals including mobile phones and PCs.
In addition to the intelligent internet appliances, Haier introduced its smart self-maintenance household appliances, which made their debut outside of Haier’s home market at IFA.
These products handle their own maintenance by automatically detecting and resolving any detected issues concerning operation, safety, and cleaning without intervention from human beings.
During the IFA, Haier displayed a storage refrigerator with separate dry and wet sections and automatic humidity control as well as the Haier Dizun self-cleaning air conditioner. | <urn:uuid:37bf5693-3743-406a-99a1-547de5c1ff70> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.rmndigital.com/haier-u-smart-home-system-debuts-in-europe/ | 2023-09-26T05:34:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.93863 | 285 |
You should schedule a checkup with your doctor if you were involved in a motor vehicle accident of any severity. Some people believe that if they didn’t require transportation to an emergency room after the accident, then they are likely in the clear in a medical sense. This is not always true. Certain injuries do not show symptoms right away, but can nonetheless be serious medical issues that require treatment.
Although it’s wise to visit the doctor even if you aren’t experiencing symptoms, here a some of the signs that a serious injury may be present:
- Back, neck, and shoulder pain
- Abdominal pain
- Pain anywhere else on the body
- Loss of coordination
- Loss of sensation
- Stinging, prickling, or pins and needles
- Blurred vision
- Double vision
- Strange taste in your mouth or inability to taste or smell
- Nausea and vomiting
- Changes in your normal bodily functions and health
It’s always a good idea to get checked out. First all, it’s important because catching medical conditions early is a good way to get started on the path to effective recovery. Secondly, it’s important to go to the doctor because doing so starts a process of documentation of any injuries. If you were to pursue a claim against the responsible party, having this documentation and official accounting of your injuries can be very important to arguing your case. Be sure to save all the reports, letters, bills, payments, and other documents related to any medical care you receive following the accident.
The aftermath of a serious car crash tends to be overwhelming, frustrating, and painful. Attorney Laurie Robbins provides clear, honest answers to your questions about medical care, and pursuing payment for this care when the accident was caused by someone else.

While it has been a considerably mild winter around here, I just finished a little piece celebrating new beginnings, “Emergence – Winter Song”
“In winter all the singing is in the tops of the trees” – excerpt from Mary Oliver’s poem White-Eyes
In the depths of winter it is still. The solitude of the garden beckons. It is spiritual, contemplative. In these quiet moments, new ideas emerge- new seeds to plant for the coming year! The blank canvas awaits. The everlasting frame endures, giving birth to new life once again. In the background of this piece is the vector equilibrium, proposed by Buckminster Fuller and often described as the blueprint by which nature forms energy into matter. This is a time of rest and hibernation, but also when things germinate. What is calling you?
May you find these peaceful moments and glimpse the wonder of life. | <urn:uuid:91c6563d-9272-4e79-9ad7-7edd199254eb> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.robinphillipsstudio.com/emergence-winter-song-painting/ | 2023-09-26T05:11:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.935159 | 189 |
Today, RISK. Wait, come back! I'm not – Hey, forget I said RISK. Just – can we – hey, come back! Listen, honestly, friend, I just – YES, IT SAYS RISK ON THE BOX. But listen – please, take your coat off. Please. Give me the benefit of the doubt. Will you give me a chance? I just – look, I shouldn't have started by saying “RISK”. That was stupid. I wish I could change that. But look – THIS IS NOT RISK. I swear to you. This isn't RISK. I swear it.
How can I make you stay? Well. What if I say “STAR WARS”? Ah, there we are...
RISK: STAR WARS EDITION (BLACK SERIES)
Okay, I'm reviewing the Black Series version of this game. It's just a more fancy-looking edition. Nothing's different in the game. So everything I say about this one stands for the Standard Edition too. So relax.
Well, first of all, the board is shaped like a TIE-Fighter. The middle section represents the area of space around the Death Star, and this will be filled with little plastic TIEs and X-Wings and Y-Wings and the like. The wings of the TIE-Fighter board represent two other fields of battle that the two players will need to deal with. One of these is the light saber battle between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, and the other is the assault on the power generator down on the planet Endor. Yeah, all of this stuff is going on at once, just like in Return of the Jedi.
The game is card-driven, but don't fear! There are also dice. This does have “RISK” printed on the box, after all. Ain't no Risk without dice. But the cards are the main focus of the players' actions – and each side has a deck of command cards to draw from. Six are drawn, three are chosen, and these are played to issue commands to different areas of the board.
The cards all have two or three actions printed on them, so as you activate them you can choose which action you want to use. This works nicely because you'll probably want to switch up some of your decisions a little as you play, so that you can respond to whatever your opponent is doing.
An order issued to the Death Star area of the board allows you to move and attack with your ships. That's basic board game stuff, moving and attacking into adjacent spaces with combat dice. It's important to control the number of enemy ships in this area of the board, because ultimately the game will be won or lost right there. The good guys win by blowing up the Death Star, and the baddies win by shutting the Rebel assault down. This area of the board is definitely where you will make the most “PEW! PEW!” noises, with the “BOOOM” and the “IT'S A TRAAAAAAAP!”
An order issued to Endor will allow your Rebels to make an attempt at advancing towards the shield generator. This is controlled by dice too, with the goodies having to roll to beat a target number for each space they want to advance into. The Empire player can make these rolls more difficult by ordering troopers into these spaces, raising the target numbers. It's a push/pull, and an important one, because the Death Star can't fall while the shields are up. This is the area of the board that will most stress you out, because you need those damn shields to fall/need those damn shields to stay up.
The lightsaber battle is a straight fight between Vader and Luke. The Empire player can order Vader (and the Emperor) to land hits on Luke, while the Rebel player is trying to weaken Vader and ultimately redeem him. This part of the game is more of a “bonus area”, a side-battle that will reward the victorious side with bonus command cards that can easily swing the whole outcome of the game. This is the area of the game where you will do the most “TURN TO THE DARK SIDE” and the “KKKKKCHHHCKKKKKK!” and the “FATHER!”
Risk: Star Wars Edition is a brilliant example of how to make a mass-market game based on a well-known property. The story of the game – redeem Vader, destroy the shield, blow up the Death Star – makes the game a breeze to learn. Players know exactly what the point of everything is, and how much value every area of the board has. Within five minutes, you're up and running – and then it's all about balancing your play to make sure that you keep a good check on every area of the board, so as not to let things tilt out of your control.
The card play is everything. You select the cards you think you'll be needing and play them in a stack. Then you and your opponent take turns peeling them off of there. But things will have changed between the point of you choosing those cards and you getting to actually play them – so you'll often find yourself choosing a different action on a card from the one you'd planned. It makes the game feel exciting and swingy, but it also ensures the game can't get bogged down by becoming too thinky. It's think-on-your-feet stuff – exciting, dramatic, fun.
I can't recommend this enough. You can blast it out in an hour – the assault on the Death Star, with all the drama that entailed. Production is great (the Black Series version takes it to another level) and the game absolutely nails that rich Star Wars feel. It's always great to see a mass market game of real quality hitting the shelves, and this is one of the very best in a long time. Honestly.
This is not RISK. Not even close. This is Star Wars in a box, for less than you'll pay for a trip to the cinema. I loved it. | <urn:uuid:e345d3d5-95a4-4d9a-9a09-8a42725222dd> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/risk-star-wars-review | 2023-09-26T04:49:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.964255 | 1,291 |

How companies with social consciousness turn challenges of people with disabilities into superpowers
In recent decades, society has made considerable progress toward inclusion and diversity, and this progress is also seen in the professional environment. The integration of individuals with disabilities into the workforce is not only an ethical necessity but also a valuable opportunity for companies and their teams of employees. This brings multiple benefits, from enhancing creativity to improving organizational culture. Let us explore the strengths that these individuals bring, both for companies and for their teams of employees.
What superpowers can you, as an employer, find in a person with disabilities?
1. Diverse Thinking and Innovation: Individuals with disabilities bring unique perspectives and innovative thinking to a team. Their life experiences and diverse ways of approaching challenges can stimulate the development of innovative solutions.
2. Adaptation and Resilience Skills: Many individuals with disabilities have developed remarkable adaptability and resilience skills in the face of challenges. These qualities are extremely valuable in the business environment where changes are inevitable.
3. Creativity in Problem Solving: Often, individuals with disabilities must find inventive solutions to overcome daily life obstacles. This creativity can also be applied to resolving professional tasks.
4. Strong Work Ethic and Motivation: Individuals with disabilities often demonstrate extraordinary motivation to surpass their limits and achieve their goals. This work ethic can inspire the entire team.
5. Communication and Empathy Skills: Individuals with disabilities may possess heightened communication and empathy skills, contributing to improved relationships with clients and colleagues.
Companies Supporting Employment and Integration of Individuals with Disabilities
Companies that support the employment and integration of individuals with disabilities demonstrate a deep commitment to diversity and inclusion values. These organizations understand that every individual possesses a unique set of abilities and potential, regardless of their disabilities. By offering equal employment and development opportunities, these companies contribute to enhancing the lives of people with disabilities and build more empathic and innovative organizational cultures.
One such company is Issue Monitoring, established in 2015 based on social economy principles and the founder's experience in civil society. "From the beginning, we aimed to provide an inclusive environment for individuals from disadvantaged groups and to integrate their differences and strengths into a high-performing team willing to embrace diversity. The first person with a disability joined our legislative monitoring professionals' team two years ago. Since then, two more colleagues with disabilities have been hired to monitor, report, and analyze legislative information for over 45 companies working with us," said Octavian Radu Rusu, CEO of Issue Monitoring.
Recently, Issue Monitoring received the Protected Unit authorization, a recognition of efforts to provide a safe, comfortable, fair, and, of course, inclusive space for employees with disabilities. "When I applied for a job at Issue Monitoring, I knew from the beginning that it was a position intended for people with disabilities, and this information allowed me to be more relaxed, to focus on my professional abilities, and thus the stress of revealing my disability at the end of the interview was eliminated. Working in an authorized protected unit is different: you feel appreciated for who you are, and your professional skills are not overshadowed by the disability you have." - Nora, an employee with disabilities within the company.
Now, due to its latest status, the legislative monitoring platform also offers clients and partners the opportunity to engage in sustainable and socially impactful procurement contracts.
By promoting an inclusive work environment that respects diversity and understands individual needs, Protected Units build strong teams that are ready to face future challenges. Therefore, employing and integrating individuals with disabilities is not just a moral choice but also a smart strategy to shape the future of businesses towards a more balanced and prosperous direction.

When protecting your home from water damage, one small thing can make a big difference: your gutters. Choosing the right gutter size is vital to keeping your property safe and well-maintained. Reputable gutter and siding contractor Roof Masters explains what sizes to choose and why it matters.
Understanding Gutter Sizes
The size of a gutter refers to its width, which is directly related to the volume of water it can handle. Standard residential gutter sizes are often five or six inches, but other sizes are available depending on the specific needs of your home. Other factors such as the total area of the roof and its slope, as well as the average rainfall in the local area, can influence the ideal gutter size for your home.
Why Gutter Size Matters
You might think gutters are what they are — as long as they collect rainwater and direct it away from your house, it’s doing its job, right? Well, not exactly.
If your gutters are too small, they may not be able to handle heavy rain, resulting in overflowing. This can damage your home’s exterior, causing basement flooding and foundation problems. Meanwhile, gutters that are too large for your home can be unnecessarily expensive and may also detract from your home’s aesthetics. That’s why getting the size right and having them installed by professionals are important to ensure their long-term performance and effectiveness.
Let Roof Masters Handle Your Gutters
Choosing the right gutter size is critical to protecting your home from the elements and maintaining its structure. At Roof Masters, we understand the unique gutter needs of homes in and around Beltsville and Rockville, MD. Reach out to us for professional guidance and services.

Decorating with Earth Tones
Decorating with earth tones can help refresh your look and cultivate a calming, relaxed atmosphere. These earth tone decorating ideas will help you find the perfect furniture and decor options for your living room, dining room or bedroom.
In this article, you’ll learn about:
Contrary to what many people think, earth tones are more than just brown. An earthy color palette can feature any shade found in nature, including woodsy hues like deep reds, burnt oranges and lush greens. You may even see bolder accents like blues, pinks and purples that pay homage to the sunset.
Some examples of popular earth tones include:
- Browns: Walnut, cedar and chocolate
- Neutrals: Beige and taupe
- Greens: Moss, pine and sage
- Warm shades: Sienna, mustard and burgundy
- Cool hues: Sky blue, graphite and silver
Whether your family room color palette features dynamic reds and yellows or soft blues and grays, adding earthy colors to your den can help you create the charming design of your dreams. Here are a few suggestions for how to integrate earth tone couches, chairs and tables into your layout.
Earth Tone Sofas and Sectionals
A rich brown sofa can create balance and contrast when using other vibrant natural hues in your living room. The various shades of beige and gray sectionals bring a lighter look to the space and blend beautifully with cool or warm palettes. You can even brighten things up with a lush green loveseat to bring the tranquil vibe of the forest to your home.
Other couch options in earth tones include:
Neutral Chairs and Eye-Catching Ottomans
Seats in neutral colors can help the more striking tones in your living room stand out. Choose greige armchairs, white recliners or black accent chairs to balance out a vivid color scheme. In neutral living rooms, try decorating with yellow or orange chairs, benches and ottomans for a sunny pop of color. If you prefer cooler hues, consider a blue chaise to evoke the soothing feel of the ocean.
Earthy Accent Tables and TV Stands
Light and dark wood end tables are a suitable option for almost any palette. Unique coffee and console tables with wood, metal and marble accents offer an easy way to incorporate outdoor elements into your design. Additionally, an earth tone TV stand or wall unit serves as a lovely complement to color schemes featuring shades like chestnut brown, snowy white or cloud-gray.
Complete Earth Tone Living Room Sets
Shopping for coordinated living room furniture sets in earthy tones is an easy way to achieve a cohesive look. A rustic brown leather living room set adds a rugged, lived-in aesthetic. Consider a striking red sectional against a beige wall to create a warm and dynamic vibe. Many of these ensembles come with coordinating earth-tone tables and accent chairs that add to their curated appeal.
To get a unified look in earth tones, consider sets in:
The next best thing to dining al fresco is bringing a little bit of nature indoors. Using earth tones in your dining room is ideal for creating a relaxed atmosphere that’s easy to adapt for more formal meals. Here are some ideas to inspire you as you choose your own perfect dining set.
Earth Tone Furniture for Eating
Wooden dining room furniture is a tried-and-true option for incorporating earth tones into your decor. Try dark wood dining sets with tables in a brown or cherry finish for an elegant look that’s sure to impress or build your own unique set by choosing separate tables and chairs.
Prefer something a little more family-friendly and casual? Consider a counter or bar height set with vibrant red or green stools. Those who need more flexible seating for larger crowds or guests may prefer the organic look of rustic dining benches. In addition to extra elbow room, these options often include padded upholstered or leather seats and come in a range of earthy hues.
Stylish Dining Room Storage and Service Options
Whether you need a china cabinet for stashing formal dishes or a bar cart for organizing glasses, storage is a must for any functional dining room. Dining room storage furnishings are also a great way to work other earth tones into your design. Look for credenzas that combine multiple wood tones for rustic themes or servers in hues like red or blue to bring a playful pop of color into your decor. | <urn:uuid:cbc5346d-b3aa-4db6-ba2c-6b937ce4348a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.roomstogo.com/inspiration/design-inspiration/decorating-with-earth-tones | 2023-09-26T06:45:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.868236 | 939 |
Better late than never
Ok, Alberto really dropped the ball this time. Many things happened since the last post, so many things will be captured in this one:
- We got an Ideas grant in December 2020, to cover our catch-up growth experiments between Jan 2021 and Dec 2024.
- Ehsan joined the Melbourne lab in November 2021, Shani in May 2022, John and Kai around Feb 2023.
- We had several lab gatherings, a memorable one in April 2023. After a nice dinner, we went bowling, and Ehsan rocked it! He says it was his first time...
- Isha got her own HFSP fellowship in 2023, to start her inter-species chimeras studies in October 2023 in Cambridge, with an internship in Japan. We look forward to welcoming her.
- Alberto moved to Cambridge in June 2023, and is now catching-up with the webpage...
Anyway, better late than never. Or, as they would say in Melbourne: | <urn:uuid:991cdc57-3247-4879-b5ac-2fdb7b693f99> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.rosellodiezlab.com/post/better-late-than-never | 2023-09-26T05:33:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510149.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20230926043538-20230926073538-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.979884 | 212 |
Ok so I think that my French brain is permanently locked in middle / high school because that’s when I was there. It’s like I can’t help myself: anytime I write in French it’s about some awkward, unrequited romance. Exibit A: “Jean-Marie” written by Pomplamoose & Ben Rose. Also, for all you Jazz nerds (woot!), that guitar riff is played by BRETT FARKAS and it’s a cover of AHMAD JAMAL’S “Patterns.” Many thanks to both of them for letting us incorporate their music into this weird French song.

Today we speak to Marko Pantovic, a senior Computer Science major and basketball student-athlete from Belgrade, Serbia. Marko transferred to Rowan University from Maryville University in Missouri. Marko tells us about the chance experience that led him to Rowan and shares his advice for future international students.
How did you end up transferring to Rowan?
In the summer of 2018, my brother was just getting married. He had been dating his girlfriend for eight years. They both met at Drexel. They had a wedding in Philly that summer. My family and I decided to look at schools around the area because they lived in Mullica Hill, NJ. I decided to look at Rowan. The school looked great, and they had the major I wanted to do. The D3 level doesn’t matter. Basketball doesn’t matter. Joe Crispin, the Rowan Men’s Basketball coach, set up a tour for me right after I email him. I did the tour, and then I committed right on the spot. I loved everything about Rowan. It was also great to be near my brother for the first time in years.
How did moving closer to your brother affect your college career?
My brother became more of a father figure towards me, which I didn’t expect. I really appreciated him because he’s been pushing me to be my best, not just in school, but also on the court and with everything else. He’s shown me how it looks like living life here. I loved every second I’ve been here.
What was it like, transitioning to life in the United States?
Well, I know some people from back home who felt so homesick they had to go back home. I have never felt that way, but I think it was because my older siblings came to the United States as well. I did a prep year before going to college, and there were three or four Serbs there, as well as other international students. The next year, I felt by myself. The holidays and winter break were especially lonely. Winter break felt like it would never end. That was a big reason I wanted to transfer to Rowan. Now that I am living with my brother, his wife and my two little nephews, I feel at home. I don’t get as homesick as I did before.
Do you have any advice for future international students on how to make yourself at home?
My brother was not the only person who made me feel at home here. I also give credit to Nick and Rob, two of the other seniors on the basketball team. They accepted me as soon as I came here. I would say finding a group of friends is important. You can find one on your team, in your major, or through other international students at the International Center.
The International Center here is great. They have banquets, meet-and-greets, and other events. They were especially helpful my first semester here when I was trying to see if there was anyone else from my country here.
How did you choose your major?
Computer science is really vast. Cybersecurity, everything we do on our phones and computers, is all computer science. A cash register at a store is computer science. The vastness attracted me, and I wanted to explore it. My dad works at an IT company, so I have been exposed to it. Ever since I was a kid, I have always loved computers and loved working with them. I had never experienced software and programming, so I have been learning a lot in my courses. I learned how much I like computer science, and how vast it is.
What is your favorite part of computer science?
I’ve had a lot of software development classes the last two semesters, which have been amazing and I’ve had so much fun with them. I’d like to focus on software development, but I’m not sure if I want to do it in web apps or mobile apps.
Do you have a favorite moment with your basketball team?
In Serbia, we take basketball really seriously. The fans are passionate; they chant and support their team, and they yell at the other team. I love that kind of environment. We had a setting like that in Jersey City, and we won the game. It was awesome, and I’ll never forget it.
What made you feel that you made the right decision, coming to Rowan?
The whole Rowan experience, I’m really thankful for it. I didn’t think school would be this great. I always knew I was going to stick through it. I always knew I would finish school with a degree in something. When I was here, I literally had a feeling I didn’t want to leave. Rowan has become a second home for me, and I’m really thankful for it.

Here Are 6 Tips to Make the Most of Your Air Purifier Purchase
Air purifiers are an invaluable tool in the fight against air pollution. From reducing allergens to removing smoke and dust particles, air purifiers can make a huge difference for any home. But what makes them so effective? The answer lies in the technology used in each unit. An air purifier utilizes high-efficiency particulate arrester (HEPA) filters and dust-collecting carbon pre-filters to capture contaminants as small as 0.3 microns, including pet dander, odors, mold spores, and cigarette smoke. It's no wonder why air purifiers are increasingly becoming a must-have item - they're more than just allergy relief; they keep our indoor air clean and clear. With the improved air quality that an air purifier brings to your home, you'll be breathing easier in no time! An air purifier is an essential component in any home, especially if someone has allergies or asthma. Not only do they help keep your indoor air clean and healthy, but they can also reduce the levels of dust and pollen floating around your home. However, when it comes to purchasing an air purifier, there are a few things you’ll want to consider so that you get the most out of your investment. Let’s take a look at 6 tips for purchasing an air purifier.
1. Start with Size
The size of the room you’re placing your air purifier in should be taken into account before making a purchase. Air purifiers come in many different sizes, so make sure you buy one that is suitable for the size of your space. A good rule of thumb is to purchase an air purifier that covers twice as much square footage as the area you plan on using it in.
2. Consider Fan Speed Options
Most air purifiers have adjustable fan speeds which allow you to control how quickly and powerfully they cleanse your indoor air quality. If you live in a small space or don’t need high-powered cleaning, then select an option with low fan speed settings. But if you need something more powerful for large spaces, then higher fan speeds will be more effective for quickly cleaning up poor indoor air quality.
3. Research Replacement Filters
All models require replacement filters at some point, so be sure to research what type of filter comes with each model before making a purchase decision. Some filters may have longer lifespans than others and require less frequent replacements – saving both time and money over time – while other filters may need frequent changing due to their shorter lifespans or lower quality materials used in construction. Make sure that whichever model you choose fits within your budget (both upfront and long-term).
4. Evaluate Noise Levels
Some models are louder than others due to their powerful motors or large fans, so make sure to check out reviews for noise level information before buying anything! You don't want to invest in something that's going to be too loud for comfortable use inside your home or office space – so always double check noise levels ahead of time just in case!
5. Select Energy Star Rated Models
Energy Star rated appliances use less energy than traditional models, helping reduce emissions from power plants - thus reducing their overall environmental impact! So if this is important to you then make sure whatever model you choose is energy star rated since these options are typically more efficient (and cost-effective) than non-rated models! you should check coway airmega ap 1512hh purifiers, coway air purifier, blue pure 311 auto, or blueair blue pure air filters.
6. Look For Added Features
Some air purifiers come with added features such as timers or automatic shutoff settings which can help save energy costs by turning off when not needed or at predetermined times during the day/night hours; check reviews carefully before making any purchases! This way, you can ensure that whatever model best suits your needs also includes all these helpful features as well!
Whether it’s allergies or asthma keeping you up at night, having the right kind of air purifier can make all the difference between breathing easy and struggling through each day indoors. With these 6 tips on how to purchase an air purifier, website owners and SEO newbies alike will be able to find the perfect fit for their homes – one that delivers both high-powered performance and reliable performance year after year!
